Well as American doctrine goes we can fire when we are fired upon so it never really goes that way unless we are at war but then it's basically been shown that they are always going to fire upon us from the start so you might as well beat them to it.

Like I said to another guy. I had no problem with adding some punctuation. It's not hard. I just didn't think of it at the time and it didn't look horrible enough for me to notice. I just didn't care for all the cursing directed at me for an easy fix, honest mistake.

In his/her defense, I had a some trouble reading it (though it's midnight and I lost my glasses. Plus, I was able to understand it fully the second time I read it), and if that was on Tumblr, (s)he would have been thumbed up for saying, 'Use some ************* punctuation, Tumble.'
Still annoying though. Who really cares about punctuation?

After a busy month of March, CLO issuance in the U.S. slowed noticeably in April, to just $4 billion via nine deals. The April CLO activity brings year-to-date volume in the sector to $30.1 billion.
While that's a healthy $7.5 billion monthly average, the pace of collateralized loan obligation vehicles has dropped off. In March there was nearly $11 billion in issuance via 22 deals.
CLOs are special-purpose investment vehicles set up to hold and manage pools of leveraged loans. You can read more about CLOs in LCD's online Loan Market Primer (it's free).

Not a twig or a leaf on the old tree,
Wind and frost harm it no more.
A man could pass through the hole in its belly,
Ants crawl searching under its peeling bark.
Its only lodger, the toadstool which dies in a morning,
The birds no longer visit in the twilight.
But its wood can still spark tinder.
It does not care yet to be only the void at its heart.

Sorry goodlun, but any candidate who won't admit letting them own property and vote was a mistake doesn't get my vote.
Some say the world will end in fire,
and some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire,
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice
then for destruction ice is also great,
and would suffice.

Whats the weight limit for these rims? In other words does a heavier cyclist, that can ride on the factory rims have to worry about these being more likely to bend out of shape?
Never mind, I found out I already wrote a question like this with the other EA90 wheels, and there isn't a written weight limit.

The Opinionists
by Richard French
~~I hope I brought a chuckle or two.. oh by the way..I do love those little marshmallow heart peeps~~
I love those mashmallow heart peeps,
their all sticky, gooey, n' soft,
I leave them out so they get good n' hard,
may take a week, I buy them early, as soon
as they hit the shelf,
Check them everyday, prod them, poke them,
they look at me, n' say,
Do you have to do that so often,
give us a break,
They hold their little heart hands over
their eyes, not wanting to see my finger
coming toward them to give them one more poke;
Then the time comes, their just right,
no more sneaking to see them in the nyte,
No more day dreaming of them, feeling their
surgary beings on me tongue;
Taking the package to the table,
on which sits a great big glass of
ice water, all cold , ready to be
the chaser, I begin the unwrapping of this,
oh so yummy, sweet, confectionary treat;
I'm sweating, my breath comes in harsh gasps,
My tongue licks my lips, they have become
dry, chapped, from all the air passing over them,
oh please give me strengh , it's time;
The outer wrapper, even having been opened many times,
refuses to budge, Oh! no! come on it didn't have that
much tape on it,
Finaly it gives, the little darlings, hehehe,
are soon going to be mine, wrings her hands in
great expectation;
My knees are weak, I have to sit,
drawing the peeps closer, I can see the beautiful
pink of their little bodies, the sugar glistening,
Swaying my body to n' fro, my head trown back in anticipation,
I imagine them beginning to melt on my tongue, yes! yes!
By this time my mouth is so dry, I take a sip of
the ice water,
My hands shake at the thought of
taking those little beauties from the package,
They are six in all, the eating of these is a science
all in itself;
Drawing out the tray, the smell of my darlings, waifs over me,
Inhaling deeply, I remove the first peep, bring it to my lips,
slowly, ever sooo slowly, I run my tongue over the surface,
licking the pink sugar from it,
It's all I can do not to pop it in my mouth;
I set my teeth to nibbling the outer edges, taking care
not to take a big bite, it gets, smaller, smaller
I take a sip of the ice water, one nibble, one sip,
doing this til just a bit of the delicacy is left,
This I pop into my mouth, roll it around, getting
the last bit of enjoyment from it, I hate the thought of
swallowing it, but remembering the others, I do
Sighing, for my confectionary treat is almost gone,
I turn the last one this way, that way
gazing at it, as if it were the hope diamond,
It stares back at me, I can see it's little heart beating,
tears are coming to it's beautiful eyes, pity, pity,
take pity, it begs,
Seeing me, bringing it to my mouth, closer, closer, closer,
...to be continued next year, same time, same place, in meantime
if you see a little marhmallow heart peep out there, well
you know...

Love those kneesocks, the old school is in session
I am beginning to hear the chatter about who should play quarterback for the Redskins. It has been three weeks since Jason Campbell had his left kneecap dislocated and ascendant backup Todd Collins has won all three games.
Joe Gibbs has the right attitude, there can be no controversy right now because Jason is not ready to come back, he just started throwing again this week. That means there is nothing to talk about for the Dallas game, Todd is playing and there is no point in talking about game 17 because there is no game 17 unless the Redskins win game 16.
Joe Gibbs won't delve into hyptheticals but I will. Todd Collins should stay in charge of this team for now. He has a hot hand and the offense is looking good. No reason to change now when the season is down to five games for the championship.
Many things can happen between now and then. Todd could get hurt, he could get figured out by an opponent and blowed up. He could play well and the Redskins could still lose. In one or more of these scenarios Jason could come back whether the team wanted him to or not.
Jason will be at the helm of this team for years to come. Right now the Redskins have a steady hand on the wheel and they need to win games, not stroke egos. Jason, this is a message from a Jason Campbell fan: watch what Todd Collins does with this offense. Pay attention. We do not want nor expect you to be Todd Collins. Yet there is no denying Todd is rocking the muthafucking house right now.
Jason Campbell is the Redskins quarterback of the future, Todd Collins is the Redskins quarterback for the next game.
More detail on this issue later today or tonight, I have a whole spiel on it, I just wanted to get this out there.

Where employees saw a typical workspace with concrete walls, decade's worth of graffiti and remnants of old motor generators at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, Princeton University students saw inspiration for art.
Art instructor Josephine Halvorson taught the course, "Advanced Painting: The Search for Subject," where she took her six students to the Princeton laboratory, owned by the US Department of Energy, to use objects and settings not typically perceived as inspiration for paintings.
"It was clear that it was an amazing place and it would be a great experience for the students to be in a completely different environment," Halvorson said.
The course, Halvorson said, is designed to take students outside the classroom or studio to paint, and she was invited to explore the laboratory, founded in 1951 by Princeton professor Lyman Spitzer, where plasma physics and controlled nuclear fusion energy research are conducted.

Suit - Albanian, Three Piece, Navy Blue Wool, 1944 Reg. No: HT 8443
- Summary:
- Alternative Name: Albanian Wedding Suit
Three piece navy blue wool suit, purchased in Wauchope New South Wales in 1944. It was worn by Albanian immigrant Pandi Thomas for his wedding to Artemissia Hari, which took place in Bagnoo New South Wales in 1944. Pandi and Artemissia's marriage was arranged through the business contacts of Pandi's brother, who introduced Pandi to Artemissia's father. After Pandi and Artemissia's father had discussed the marriage prospect, the couple met and Artemissia agreed to the marriage, as she was culturally expected to do. They were married in a Greek Orthodox wedding ceremony at Artemissa's family farm house with a priest brought in from Sydney. The couple honeymooned in Kempsey, New South Wales and then returned to Shepparton, where Pandi was living with his brother. They had five children and died within seven weeks of each other in 1995.
Pandi wore the suit for special occasions throughout his lifetime, and it is unknown whether the braces and handkerchief were part of original wedding outfit or if they were added in later years with subsequent wearing.
- Description:
- Three piece double breasted navy blue wool men's suit. The suit jacket has black lining, the navy trousers come with a set of crimson and blue striped braces, and the waistcoat has a white and blue striped lining and a black back. There is also a blue, red and yellow spotted handkerchief in the suit pocket.

The King Street Breakfast Club
It all began informally. This is how Wesley Woods is explaining his interpretation of how the group of men sitting around him, came to sit around him. It is 7:02Am and they are the only customers inside the Kelsey's Café on King Street in Hillsborough.
Woods is facing to the East and the television in the corner of the room is tuned to ESPN and nobody is paying much attention to the top 10 plays from the night before. "I used to get a delivery truck that came down every Tuesday morning," Woods said. "That turned into breakfast with one of these guys and then we invited someone else and now it is kind of a regular thing."
Woods is owner of Dual Supply and he knows the happenings of this town and King Street, too. He is always quick with a smile and he has items in his store for sale that will never be found anywhere else; and, coincidentally, he knows where all of these items are.
By count there are usually seven seated at the table. They don't have a name for this group. There is no agenda. There are no bylaws or rules of conduct. Among the group are business owners and entrepreneurs. S ome are nearly retired and some will never retire. One of them owns a furniture store. One of them owns Orange Garden Center. One of them owns a bee-keeping supply service. One of them is a retired teacher, turned real estate agent. And one of them knows about testing mud, drilled from oil wells in the Gulf, for gaseous composition.
They are polite and wise. They are kind. They all have different shoe sizes and this is necessary because they are all from different walks of life. The topics discussed here range from politics to feeding catfish tomatoes to how one of them delivered papers, on bicycle, when the Durham Herald had two deliveries in town.
Over eggs and bacon and very black coffee, the subject of teacher pay is the conversation at hand. Among the group, Leon Waters offers personal insight about teacher pay. He was once a teacher at Orange High School and he shakes his head slowly about the idea that teachers are overly appreciated while being underpaid. Most at the table agree.
Some raise questions about the proceeds of the lottery and another asks what the starting salary is for a teacher in Orange County and across the state.
These men do not have kids in school any longer and yet they appreciate that teachers provide a necessary service and that it really does not make sense that a teacher has to purchase supplies, from their own salary, for a classroom.
Around the table, topics change and build and evolve. There is discussion about where the old bus stop was in Hillsborough; how many drug stores used to be in town; someone is traveling to visit home, up North; And, all laugh about how one of these men's dogs licked-clean his plate for lunch, and that outside this same hound is howling, from the passenger seat of the man's truck.
There is talk of business, too. The bee-supply owner is expanding his business to warehouse space in Raleigh and all at the table nod their head in approval.
By all accounts, there is nothing very unique or special about this group of men that meet on Tuesday mornings, in town for breakfast. There is natural chiding and men-talk; yet it is a necessity of sorts when old friends and former strangers meet in a café. A town would be amiss if it were not for informal groups such as this.
These men come together for the sake of fellowship and for the belief that we might all walk a similar path, even though we wear different size shoes. Though we never know where our paths might lead; there is hope that at least somewhere along the way, we might intersect with friends that used to be strangers that came together because deliveries were made on Tuesday mornings.

Judge rules vs W.Va. over military pension credits
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Another judge has ruled against West Virginia retirement officials over their handling of pension credits meant to reward public employees for military service.
Kanawha Circuit Judge Paul Zakaib has ordered the Consolidated Public Retirement Board to increase the years of service recorded for five state employees.
The board has sparred repeatedly with veterans who go to work for the state over these service credits. Board officials argue that they apply only for service during armed conflicts. They cite a roster of conflicts identified in state law.
But Zakaib agreed with the five veterans that the law does not limit service credits to those listed conflicts. He called the board's process unacceptable. But Zakaib stopped short of allowing the case to become a class-action lawsuit.

Get Dad a Checkup for Father's Day
According to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, only 57 percent of men in the US have visited a doctor in the last year, compared to 74 percent of women. Patient Fusion, the personal health platform, is encouraging everyone to remind their dads to see a doctor this Father's Day. Regular checkups can help men catch early warning signs for dangerous heart disease, diabetes, or cancers.
During a health technology panel hosted by Patient Fusion earlier this week, Dr. Mehmet Oz—host of the Emmy Award-winning The Dr. Oz Show—reported that women can play a key role in convincing men to see a doctor: "Men care about their health, but not nearly as much as women, and they don't understand the bigger ecosystem of how health affects the family ...What you really want to get men to realize is that when they have a heart attack, and they die because they didn't take care of themselves, they leave their family abandoned ...They need to understand that you're counting on them to be around, that you love them, and you want them to love themselves as much as you do."
Key facts:
- * Only 36 percent of patients booking doctor's appointments on Patientfusion.com are men
- * 40 percent of men in their 40s have never had a cholesterol test and one-third of men simply refuse to go for annual check-ups, according to the International Society for Men's Health
- * Waiting time is a key reason why men don't visit the doctor, according to a study published in the American Journal of Public Health
- * With more than 27,000 doctors available for online appointment booking today, Patient Fusion makes it faster and easier for dads to book a doctor's visit
- * Tech-loving dads will also appreciate Patient Fusion's instant access to their online medical records and lab results after their check-up
- * Visit www.patientfusion.com to make an appointment today!

TCU's secret weapon: The Rally Turtle
This is what makes college baseball supreme to anything major league-- multimillion dollar contracts, steroids, HGH, no salary cap and all 162 regular games included.
The Rally Turtle.
Frogs' All-American catcher and Detroit Tigers' sixth-round draft pick gave due credit to the the dugout turtle, which was drawn in the dirt, for TCU's eighth inning comeback spectacle against Florida State Wednesday.
"That was our rally turtle," Holaday said. "We were just basically digging in the toolbox, trying to find something to energize the dugout, trying to get everybody into the game and just realize that it wasn't over yet and we could still fight back.
"It was just a testament to how resilient our club is, especially our hitting and just our ability to trust each other no matter what the situation."
Said turtle sparked an impromptu dialogue between TCU head baseball coach Jim Schlossnagle and his players at the podium during Wednesday's post-game press conference.
Schlossnagle: "Where does the turtle come from?"
Holaday: "It's been around for awhile."
Schlossnagle: "I absolutely have no idea what goes on in the course of the game in our dugout."
First baseman Matt Curry: "We were feeding him and giving him water and everything. He got us that rally. You'll probably see it again."
Schlossnagle: "It happens in the big leagues everyday, Barry Bonds and those guys draw a rally turtle."
It's doubtful the All-Time MLB home run king drew any rally turtles in the dugout before teeing off on opposing pitchers; the sarcasm was understood by anyone on hand to here the rally turtle conversation.
If the rally turtle sparked anything for TCU's eight-run rally in the eighth inning, it was Holaday's bold slide into second.
It looked like Holaday, not known for his speed, tried to do too much with his rope off the left field wall as the throw came into second base--Holaday would have been out had he not avoided the tag, switching up arms after coming in with his left hand.
"Part of TCU baseball is taking pride in the small things like sliding," Holaday said. "Not a lot of teams do that. Coach (Randy) Mazey, our base running coach, has done a terrific job with everybody on working on sliding, just in case you got in that moment, and it paid off for me."
Had Holaday been thrown out on his two-base hit, Curry's grand slam and third baseman Jantzen Witte's fourth homer of the season would have never happened.
"But this is what its all about, when you turn it on and you see a bunch of college kids on both ends," Schlossnagle said. "Florida State and here, and the rally turtle and different things in the dugout.
"I mean, that's why college baseball-I'm very biased-it's the best sport around. It's great. It gets to be showcased in such a great forum here in Rosenblatt."
South Carolina's Avatar "Spirit Bat" May Trump Rally Turtle
The South Carolina Gamecocks may have one-upped TCU when it comes to dugout luck charms. Heck, The Gamecocks don't have a luck charm, they have a James Cameron-inspired ritual that incorporates a ball, bat and chanting.
Here is an excerpt on the Gamecocks' Avatar Bat Ritual from Ron Morris of The State:
The clubhouse séance was intended to exorcise the demons from USC's bats. Then, when the team returned to the dugout to resume play, Beary said an illustration was needed on how the team should begin hitting.
Beary grabbed a baseball and taped it to a fungo bat. The concept was simple, Beary explained to his teammates: You put the bat to the ball to produce hits. Presto! USC also had its "Avatar" spirit stick, and players since have touched it for good luck before going to bat."
The Gamecocks defeated Oklahoma 3-2 in extra innings Thursday to stave off elimination in Bracket 2. They will play their in-state rivals, the Clemson Tigers, Friday at 8 p.m. on ESPN2 for a chance to advance the CWS Final.
Read the full article HERE.
It might not be likely, but a Rally Turtle-Spirit Bat showdown dugout showdown would be in the works if TCU and South Carolina advance to the Final.

ArcelorMittal In Shelby Plans Expansion, 45 New Jobs
Story By: Greg Heindel
Originally Published on: 7/1/2014
ArcelorMittal in Shelby plans a $29-million expansion that will create 45 jobs with a $1.9-million payroll. The manufacturer of welded and seamless tubes will add a production line, a new furnace, and other equipment. The company has been approved for a 40%, seven-year state tax credit, while Shelby Schools and Pioneer Career and Technology Center have approved ten-year, 100% property tax abatements. Shelby City Council will consider a similar tax abatement next Monday, which would mean the city forgoes $16,000 a year in revenue. The expansion starts later this year and will take 18 months to complete. The new jobs will start being added next year or in 2016, and be phased in over three years. ArcelorMittal also retains more than 600 jobs through the tax incentives.
The following statement can be attributed to Dane Smith, operations manager, ArcelorMittal Shelby:
- ArcelorMittal Shelby is pleased to announce plans for expansion as part of its growth strategy. A $30 million investment will be made to increase cold drawing and finishing capacities to meet the market demand for increased production of drawn over mandrel (DOM) tube, a product supplied to the fluid power market.
- ArcelorMittal Shelby has been operating at near to full capacity for years and numerous customers have petitioned Shelby to increase its volume offering to the market. Increased volumes from this expansion will allow the facility to de-bottleneck operations and more fully utilize existing up-stream tube making capacities.
- The expansion is expected to begin in Q3 2014 and will last approximately 18 months. The facility currently has more than 630 employees, and this new investment is expected to create another 45 jobs once fully operational.
The following statement should be attributed to Edward Vore, CEO, North American Tubular Products, ArcelorMittal:
- This investment will allow us to return to our historic DOM market share and continue to grow in a profitable market niche. It will allow us to maintain our service performance and give us additional operational flexibility.
- Our dedicated workforce, coupled with the support we received from many important stakeholders - the City of Shelby, Richland County, state and federal governments, Jobs Ohio and Team NEO, played a critical role in positioning Shelby as an attractive and sustainable place to invest.
The following is available on background:
- ArcelorMittal Shelby, a tubular product facility located in Shelby, Ohio, has been in operations since 1890.
- Formerly Dofasco Copperweld, the tubular products facility manufactures welded and seamless precision tubes in a variety of steel grades for the fluid power, automotive, construction equipment, farm machinery, oil and gas tooling and service center market.
- The facility is recognized as the market share leader of tubular product in the United States, which means it serves as the number one supplier, in volume and sales, in the market.
- With a current annual capacity of 250,000 tons, the facility is a major employer in Ohio's Richland county area.

The Role of Athletic Trainers
The certified athletic trainer is a highly educated and skilled professional specializing in athletic health care. In cooperation with physicians and other allied health personnel, the athletic trainer functions as an integral member of the athletic health care team in secondary schools, colleges and universities, sports medicine clinics, professional sports programs and other athletic health care settings.
Certified athletic trainers have, at minimum, a bachelor's degree, usually in athletic training, health, physical education or exercise science. In addition, athletic trainers study human anatomy and human psychology/counseling. Certified athletic trainers also participate in extensive clinical affiliations with athletic teams under appropriate supervision.
Certified athletic trainers have fulfilled the requirements for certification established by the National Athletic Trainers' Association Board of Certification, Inc. (NATABOC). The certification examination administered by NATABOC consists of a written portion with multiple choice questions, an oral/practical section that evaluates the skill components of the domains within athletic training and a written simulation test consisting of athletic training related situations designed to approximate real-life decision making. This last portion of the test evaluates athletic trainers' ability to resolve cases similar to those they might encounter in actual practice. The examination covers a variety of topics within the five practice domains of athletic training:
Once athletic trainers pass the certification examination proving skills and knowledge within each of the five domains, they are able to use the designation "ATC."

Historical Inaccuracies
Posted 01 April 2012 - 09:41 PM
A major problem with soaps, however, is the constant turnover in creative personnel, many of whom simply don't know about the shows' rich pasts, and who don't seem particularly interested in learning. Sometimes a lazy soap press exacerbates the problem by reporting, or reinforcing, false information about the dramas' past storylines and/or character backgrounds.
While perusing a French website devoted to Y&R recently, I noticed that an original character from the show's first decade, Chris Brooks Foster, was erroneously referred to as "Christabel". I've seen this error in a variety of different places. I don't know who came up with the "fact" that the character's name was Christabel. According to on-screen references, including the January, 1974 episode in which Chris marries her beloved Snapper Foster, her name is Christen Leigh Brooks Foster. A small point, I know, but it's always irked me.
Many references in the soap press and on-line have discussed how, also on Y&R, Paul Williams supposedly gave Nikki Reed VD, back in the 1970s. Not true. Those of us who watched the series religiously back then know it was the other way around. Nikki infected Paul (and he was furious about it, LOL). Actor Doug Davidson even did an interview at one point, years later, lamenting in a tongue-in-cheek fashion, the false information that had damaged his character's...character.
Soap columnist David Johnson, writing a review of Y&R for Rona Barrett's Daytimers, lambasted the show for episodes surrounding the death of matriarch Jennifer Brooks, again back in the '70s. Johnson complained how stupid it was that only three of Jennifer's four daughters (Leslie, Lorie, and Chris) were seen in the family living room, consoling each other over their mom's fate. He was very critical of the "fact" that the youngest daughter Peggy was supposedly nowhere to be seen. Yet, the error was Johnson's, who simply didn't know what he was talking about. The Brooks' girls scenes carried over two episodes. Peggy was fully present during the first day, but at the end of that episode, she ran sobbing from the room, intent on being alone in her bedroom with her grief. Her sister Lorie even mentioned this the following day, when Chris asked, "Where's Peg?" Lorie replied that she "couldn't take this", and had fled upstairs. I'm all for soap critics calling out shows for actual errors or absurd storyline decisions...just not ones they, themselves, invent in their heads.
On ANOTHER WORLD, young heroine Pat Matthews became involved with a ne'er-do-well named Tom Baxter in 1964. In a melodramatic twist, she ended up shooting him dead and being charged with his murder. You know, with a gun.Yet since then, subsequent writers, including the generally-great Harding Lemay, have referenced how Pat had supposedly stabbed Tom with a letter opener. You'd think they would check their facts.
In the 1980s, someone asked AW's Jamie Frame how he was related to Sally Frame. He replied, "She's a cousin or something." Apparently, he didn't understand that if your father adopts someone, she ends up being your sister, not your cousin...or something. Jamie must not have been the brightest crayon in the box anyway, since as an adult, he proclaimed his name to be "James Steven Frame", clearly forgetting that he had been baptized "James Gerald", named after the two men considered his grandfathers when he was born. Sure, he could have changed his name somewhere along the way, although it had never been mentioned. Maybe he swiitched names when AW's locale, Bay City, miraculously transported itself to Illinois. It had been in Michigen in the 1970s, but again, clueless and/or careless PTB apparently never bothered finding out where their own show was actually set.
There are more famous, and egregious cases of factual/historical error, like on THE GUIDING LIGHT, how we saw Brandon Spaulding expire on-camera, yet he appeared alive (if not so well) years later, during the 1980s, without any attempt made to clarify the atrocious storyline inconsistancy. For every writer like Douglas Marland or Pat Falken Smith, who would research their shows' and characters' histories intensely, there are many more like Chuck Pratt whose work clearly reveals their lack of interest in detail.
Before the character of Kelly Nelson was written off TGL, he had a scene in his godfather Ed Bauer's office. He asked, "Do you remember Steve Jackson, the surgeon?" Why WOULDN'T Ed remember his own father-in-law (from when Ed was married to Steve's daughter, Leslie), and his son Rick's grandfather? Writer Pamela K. Long obviously did not put two and two together.
While I realize it's impossible for any writer to know the details of every episode, every script, every moment from a soap's past, little, or sometimes major, boo-boos like these can be irritating.

This was more a matter of bizarre writing than a blatant innacuracy, but around this same time, Annie was trash talking Reva (who was "the other woman" in Annie's marriage to Josh), to Vanessa and Lillian. They both joined in, going on and on about how Reva was a homewrecker. This made Lillian look terrible, because, not even five years before this, she had had an affair with her best friend's husband, which caused said best friend to be killed in a car accident.

There are too many to mention, many have already been mentioned a million times, but one that really set tongues wagging back in the day was when Megan McTavish was writing GL (95-96) and Reva and daughter Marah had a heart-to-heart. Reva was trying to comfort Marah and said something like, "Of course I love you, you're my first born." Reva had had a son, Dylan, years before she gave birth to Marah.

At the very least, a head "writer" should have charts with who is related to whom on his/her show, and know how many kids a character has. I remember reading that Hogan Sheffer didn't even know that Margo was John's daughter on ATWT. UGH. These people get paid a lot of money to know their stuff, yet we, the fans, can run circles around them.

GH used to have a continuity staff who were charged with keeping track of those things, but they were perceived as being an unnecessary expense and disbanded. Elizabeth Korte used to be part of that staff. GH recently forgot that Monica had a deceased daughter named Dawn.
GH also seemed to forget that Monica has a mother in Gail Baldwin, who adopted Monica back in the day.

Gail was a mother figure to Monica, although their backstory involved Monica sleeping with Gail's boyfriend, which caused a lot of strain. Gail remained a confidant for Monica off and on until the mid-90's, I think.

Gail was Monica's mother? I didnt even know they even had a relationship. Did Monica ever have one with Scotty? I cant remember anything acknowledge at all since he and Serena came back to PC in 1997
Monica was an orphan who, as a very young woman, ended up having an affair with Gail's previous husband, Greg Adamson. This seriously crippled Monica's friendship with Gail for a long time, but the two women eventually reconciled and Gail adopted her. Technically, Monica and Scotty would be step-siblings since her adoptive mom, Gail, is married to Scotty's adoptive father, Lee Baldwin. But they never mention any of this. I doubt any of TPTB even know.

Huh, I didn't know that Brandon Spaulding had been on the show pre-Barbados. I thought he "died" when Alan and Alex were children.
The revolving-door string of writers for TGL seemed intent on creating their own take on Brandon Spaulding; history be damned. That's why everything kept changing. The only worse, more relentless history blunders/rewrites must have been with the Victor Lord character on OLTL. Don't even get me started on how they screwed that up!

Days of our Lives:
-Hope never referred to Alice as 'Gran' she was always Grandma. It is minor, but it always annoyed me.
Another World:
You mentioned Sally and Jamie. They also dated. Even though she was adopted, someone should have said something. It was icky.
Evans Bates Frame. Janice had two big runs in Bay City. The first time, I believe, she was teamed up with Rachel to break up Alice and Steve. The second time, she was poisoning Mac. She poisoned Howard Battis, Evan's father. So where did Evan grow up? Who raised him?
Gwen Frame's vendetta against Rachel during the show's 25th Anniversary. Totally made up and totally out of left field.
Y&R - This is more of rewrite, but rewriting Jill's parentage pretty much ruined the character. Did they not read the show's bible or watch the first five years of the show?
OLTL - another rewrite, but an interesting one. Turning kindly, advice giving, being bamboozled by Dorian, patriarch Victor Lord into a child molesting, underground city building, psychopath threw a lot of stuff from the show's early years into question.

Gwen Frame's vendetta against Rachel during the show's 25th Anniversary. Totally made up and totally out of left field.
I think they implied that Willis and Gwen had done a lot to raise him. It was all kind of a mess. Dorothy Lyman was bewildered about the writing for Gwen, and I think they just wanted to make her seem like Opal (a homicidal Opal, anyway).
On GL, when they rewrote Amanda's paternity for no apparent reason, saying that Brandon Spaulding was her father and Alan was her brother, some fans were annoyed because the name given for mother on the birth certificate was Jennifer, when she was actually named Jane Marie Stafford at that time, and not Jennifer until some years later.
On ATWT, when they decided to inexplicably give Lucinda and James Stenbeck a child, the characters referenced a long ago affair, totally ignoring the fact that James and Lucinda met onscreen for the very first time, in 1986, and Lucinda talked about wanting to know more about him, digging up dirt on him, etc.

I'm not a Sheffer fan, but I don't blame him for this. Somebody should have told him, plenty of his staff had been with the show long enough to know its history intimately. His only knowledge of ATWT came from watching the show during Laiman.

ATWT's Lucinda said, "I have 2... no 3 daughters" during the Sheffer reign. This was an ad lib by Liz Hubbard to make up for the inaccurate script.

Trading the ROADKILL
It is all about a successful trading method!
by Gail Mercer, Hawkeye Traders | February 13, 2009Print
Everyone has heard the adage, "The trend is your friend." At times, all traders, even professionals, find themselves on the wrong side of the market.
Fighting the trend--trying to pick tops and bottoms--can lead to disastrous results and is one of the most frustrating states of mind that a trader can experience. Missing the trend can also make one feel like an orphan left behind. Curiously, all our trend-following mistakes seem so maddeningly obvious in hindsight!
New traders suffer the frustrating experience of having a positive trade that immediately reverses to a negative position, causing him to panic resulting in closing his positions – only to watch his trade revert back to the trend and go up even higher. This often occurs because most of the new trader does not understand price action and the importance of using dynamic stops that move with the price, while allowing enough room for the price to have small retracements. Instead of looking at their timeframes, or their emotional state of mind, they blame the indicators. Also, remember, each moment in the market is unique and the markets do not move exactly the same every day. Learn to move with the markets, instead of fighting for the market to move within your specified timeframe. Expand your definition of trading by using suitable timeframes depending on how the market was moving and how much time you wanted to sit in front of the screen. Scalping is the hardest method of trading that you can attempt and equates to the equivalent of trying to be a surgeon but bypassing the training required to become a surgeon.
What is RoadKill? How does it work?
Nigel's favorite setup is "Roadkill," a meal fit for a hungry hawk who likes his leisure. Here is the recipe: Take two time frames; add the trend indicator and let settle until the colored dots on the longer-term chart indicate a trend has begun. When the dots on the shorter time frame turn white (neutral) or the opposite color, and then turn back, it is time to buy or sell short in the direction of the higher timeframe.
The Roadkill methodology eliminates many of the trend whipsaws. Instead of entering at the beginning of the trend, you are waiting for the trend to establish itself then you are looking for entries using your short-term charts. Although you are being more cautious with your entry, you are increasing your probabilities of having a successful trade. However, the most successful Roadkill entries occur with the first 2-3 Roadkill opportunities because the further you go in a trend, the more likely it is that the trend will change.
