Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones
Believe in me
Help me believe in anything
I want to be someone who believes - Counting Crows, "Mr Jones"
The U.S. stock markets, in case you were out, are off to a screaming start in 2012. Led by most of the underperformers from last year (financials, industrials, materials), the markets launched themselves off the springboard of doom and gloom near the end of last year. Since December 28th (when I wrote in Imitation May Be the Highest Form of Flattery, But This Time We'll Pass that I was buying a small basket of financials for a trade), the KBW Bank Index (BKX) is up over 16%, while the S&P 500 (SPX) is up just 8.0%. Since then I have written about how the markets were very tough to read – up significantly but with still room to run, although there were many cross-currents, so we were buying puts to hedge our downside and remain long. That was the right call in hindsight (which is always 20-20).
So now what? I want to believe this market will go higher (as a fund manager that is always long, it's a natural bias), but I have a hard time making a bull case after this move we have had. But until this week I was willing to go with the flow, as the path of least resistance was still up and the market was fighting the proverbial wall of worry (there were no believers in the "we can go higher" thesis). However, I am preparing to step aside and let the ride continue without me (again, I have to be long in my funds, but you don't at home). Why the change of heart?
Mr. Jones and me tell each other fairy tales
Stare at the beautiful women
"She's looking at you. Ah, no, no, she's looking at me."
Smiling in the bright lights
Coming through in stereo
When everybody loves you, you can never be lonely - Counting Crows, "Mr Jones"
The reason I'm having a change of heart is that now everybody loves the market. This week, the Three Monkeys (see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil) have arrived and revealed themselves to the markets. In this incarnation, they are Larry Fink (the head of BlackRock (BLK), a great businessman and authority on bonds), Nouriel Roubini (a well-known perma-bear at Roubini Global Economics), and finally, the individual investor, via the weekly AAII Sentiment Survey. Paraphrasing for brevity, Fink said he'd be 100% in equities (versus bonds), Roubini capitulated and turned a bit bullish, and finally, the individual investor this week became extremely bullish, with the net AAII bullish reading at 31.4%. According to BTIG (www.BTIG.com), the reading has only approached 30 five times in the last 5 years, so it only happens about once a year, and 4 out of the 5 times it got close, the market dipped pretty hard (from 40 to 100 points on the SPX). Look at this chart from BTIG and you'll see why the AAII Sentiment Survey is the Third Monkey.
I will paint my picture
Paint myself in blue and red and black and gray
All of the beautiful colors are very very meaningful
Grey is my favorite color - Counting Crows, "Mr Jones"
So what do we do now? The markets rarely provide a black and white answer. Instead, the right path is usually colored in various shades of grey. If you own strong operating businesses that have been overlooked in this rally and are cheap, then you're "probably" ok holding on. For your more speculative plays, those of businesses you bought where the fundamentals are just "ok" but the stocks were priced for a great trade, it's getting very close to selling time (cough, ahem, hello Banks). For those that are more nimble and can trade, I'd be selling my longs into this rally, and teeing up some shorts. I'd be looking at SPY puts or an outright short. Your time horizon, as always, determines your path to your goal.
I received many good comments on the trading rules I posted in my last article Don't Confuse the Path with the Goal, so I am posting a few more here and will try to include some in each article from now on. This weeks are:
There are two deep seated enemies in human nature – hope and fear. When a position goes against you, you hope that the next day it will be better, that it will be the last day that you lose money. When the hope turns to fear, you capitulate, ensuring a big loss. In contrast, when a position is working, you fear the profit will be lost the next day, so you sell --- too soon. To make money trading, you need to eliminate both emotions.
The hope of making the stock market pay your bills is a prolific source of loss to traders. The stock market is not the fairy god-mother.
It is as important to read yourself as it is to read the tape.
Don't be a Monkey. Stay disciplined, manage risk, and remove emotion.
S&P 500 (SPX) Support and Resistance Levels:
Support: 1346/1348, then 1344/1345, a little at 1340, then 1328/1330.
Resistance: still light at 1352/1355, then a lot of overhead at 1360.
Positions: None.

Winning Wednesday: Don't Sacrifice Videography on Your Wedding Day — Use WeddingMix Instead
One of the hardest parts about having a wedding as a Broke-Ass Bride is cutting out those things that aren't necessarily high-priority but definitely don't fit into your budget. And so often, especially for our readers, videography is one of those sacrificial lambs. And it's the one I most-often hear the wedded couple bemoan after their celebration. Because, even if you only watch it once a year on your anniversary, it's truly lovely to be able to relive that gorgeous day of tulle, toasts, twirling and triumph. Plus, you've put blood, sweat and tons of hours into planning this thing, why shouldn't you get to watch all of the sparkly magicalness over and over again?
And that, my friends, is why WeddingMix by Storymix Media exists. For you. And to keep that shit alive and well, eons after your wedding day.
They understand your broke-ass needs. That's why their packages start as low as $99. That's why they send you cameras, in lieu of the gaggle of smartphones that may end up being the culprit behind some not-so-rockin' Instas of your ugly cry-face, and then make a badass video out of all the bits and bobs. But if you're still cool with smartphones hanging around your reception, then they're cool with it, too, because they have an app for that. And it's free. DUH.
From getting ready to the first kiss as a married couple to your dad's toast to rockin' your socks off on the dance floor, WeddingMix's cameras will capture every last detail, then the cool folks back at HQ will compile and edit those amazing moments into a video just for you … embarrassing Elaine dance moves and all. So you get a killer video for waaaayyyyyyyy less than the vast majority of amateur videographers would charge. I mean, come on. You're winning all around.
SPEAKING OF WINNING: One lucky Broke-Ass Bride will score $300 to use toward a WeddingMix package for their big day. And even if you don't win, you get a fantastical 10% discount just for entering. What's there to lose? Get on it! And good luck!
5 Crazy Things I Regret Not Getting on Video from my Wedding
I married the most unlikely man almost 15 years ago. I say unlikely because we both bet our friends a six pack of beer that we would never, ever get married. Best bet I ever lost.
We were so different, that it took a while to get engaged. By the time he proposed, I wanted to simply tie the knot the next day. No way, said he. "We will have the biggest party on the smallest budget possible."
So, he set to planning a huge bash, while I set about learning how to DIY everything. Our priorities in this party were booze and bar band. We would DIY everything else.
Seriously, 15 years later friends still tell us that our wedding was the best party they ever attended. Not just wedding. Party. Was it the Jack Daniels? Was it the bar band? Hard to say, but I wish I had all these moments on video.
1. The DIY Dress
Only a fool would make her wedding dress when she does not know how to sew. I am that fool. I wish I had video of me cutting nineteen, yes — nineteen yards of tulle. Or especially video of me twirling around in the dress the very first time. Right after sewing that last stitch.
2. The DIY Cake
Ah, but a bigger fool would make her own wedding cake! (Points finger at self) I had been a cake decorator professionally, so I figured that naturally I would be able to make my own cake. Never mind the carpal tunnel that set in the week of the wedding. Never mind that it's crazy to try to decorate a cake two days before your wedding. Especially when you have to talk your bridesmaid through doing it for you.
But everything is better with alcohol. So, you get your bridesmaid drunk and then have her do it. And then proceed to have a food fight with the middle bits of the cake. It's all good. And would have been grrrrrreat on video!
3. The Steam Iron
I made my own dress, but shame on my mother, I never really learned how to iron. So, I show up at the church in my dress, and my friend points out that it's all wrinkly and going to look funny in the photos. Yes, I was that oblivious.
It was now about 5 minutes til the wedding was supposed to start and someone ran out to get a steam iron. There's my man standing at the front of church, waiting. And there's his best friend, running through the church with a steam iron. Literally, running. With the priest behind him promising NOT to marry us if I was late. Priceless.
4. The Piggyback Ride
We swore it never happened, but my husband's buddy's girlfriend swore it did. The piggyback ride. Me and my bustle were seen careening across the dance floor on the back of her boyfriend and she was not pleased. I would pay good money for that video now.
5. Table Dancing
I do have a photo. But who wouldn't want to see video of themselves dancing on a table at the end of the night with a centerpiece on their head?
Our wedding journey took us from DIY near-disasters all the way to face-planting on a black diamond slope in Oregon. Proposal all the way through the honeymoon, there were soooo many crazy moments I wish I could relive with my man. Sometimes photos just aren't enough.
Ariane Fisher is the Co-founder of Storymix Media. Their app WeddingMix is a fun way to crowdsource photos & videos from your friends into an edited wedding video. Her great loves are bourbon, chocolate, and hockey. She is mom to 6, yes, 6 kids. It's loud.
{Partner Love + A Giveaway} Storymix Media Helps You Get A Professionally Edited Wedding Video On The Cheap
Y'all, videography ain't cheap. You know this. You've already put down some serious skrilla on your dress, venue, his duds, gifts, food, booze and your photogs. But video? It's soooo awesome and special to have. And so often falls by the wayside when your budget can't squeeze it in. Besides girl, you've spent so much putting the D to the I to the Y, wouldn't you want your video to follow suit?
Have no fear. Storymix Media is here! *cue superhero theme song*
You know your peeps have smartphones. Because, let's face it, who doesn't these days? Oh, but if they don't, that's cool, because Storymix Media has cameras they'll happily lend you for your big day, as a part of any Camera + App package. What?

Alpha Chi, the oldest sorority on campus, was originally a group of High School girls who united on October 29, 1918. Their purpose was to boost the morale of servicemen overseas by sending them letters and knitting socks for them. Upon entering college, the girls adopted the Greek name, Alpha Chi and continued the overseas correspondence. After the war, the sorority continued at Chico State University and pledged itself to the four principles we maintain today.
In November of 1994, the Alpha Chi active chapter voted to join
a national sorority without the support of the Alpha Chi Alumni.
Three dedicated Alpha Chi Actives stayed true to the four principles
they had pledged themselves to and, with the help of the Alumni,
seven women joined to become the Spring 1995 pledge class. Together,
these 10 dedicated women are an inspiration to all present, as well
as future Alpha Chis, and shall now be known as Refounding

The first Horizons Health Care Golf Tournament Fundraiser was held on June 28, with ideal weather conditions, at Cedaredge Golf Course.
Due to the positive experience of tournament play, many of the participants were asking if this tournament would be offered again next year.
Organizer Sara Sterling (LNHA, MBA), the Executive Director of Volunteers of America at Horizons Health Care and Retirement Community, indicated there is a strong possibility of another tournament in 2015.
There were 11 teams playing for top honors with several prizes, including a new 2014 Toyota Corolla (Hellman Toyota), enticing golfers to hit their best shots.
Players used a four-man scramble format to play the 18 holes of golf.
The day's winning team fired a round of 61 to edge its closest challenge by one stroke. Members of the winning team included Denise Swanson, Rex Swanson, Randy Lehman and Brad Bingham.
The second-place team of Keith Rusk, Todd Markley, Bryce Markley and Greg Markley checked in with a score of 62.
Speciality prizes went to Brad Bingham for the men's longest drive, Tammy Blanchette with the women's longest drive, Wayne Crick for closest to the pin, and Brad Bingham with the longest marshmallow drive.
Sterling expressed her feelings on the success of the tournament. "It was a very successful day! We raised over $7000. The proceeds will go toward a new spa tub for the residents residing at Horizons Care Center. We are very thankful to our sponsors and players — it's wonderful to a part of a supportive community!"

Spurs narrowly missed out on Champions League qualification last season and one of the most telling blows came in March, when Fulham won 1-0 at White Hart Lane.
Tottenham's season began to unravel soon after as they dropped points against Wigan and Chelsea, and Walker has not forgotten the impact of the loss to the Cottagers.
"Last season when Fulham came to White Hart Lane they beat us, so we owe them something for that," said the Spurs right-back.
"I don't like losing any game, but I think that game was the turning point from last season."
Fulham have lost their last six games, which cost Martin Jol his job, but Walker believes their previous form will count for nothing as the players will be out to impress new boss Rene Meulensteen.
"It will still be difficult," he said. "No game is easy. It's a London derby. They are fighting for things just like we are fighting for things.
"We need to dig in like we did against Manchester United on Sunday, show enthusiasm and desire that we want to go out and win and if we do, then I think we will get the result."

#Life#The Flinger Family#Baby O
Today was not supposed to be your birthday. I was focused on June 15th but you had a different plan. Instead, today, and every May 20th will be a celebration for us. We'll celebrate your early arrival, your strength, your loving spirit and your joyful soul.
Today we'll celebrate you.
You are the baby that took away my words. You are the son that we hoped for. You are the child that laughs easily making everyone smile around you.
You are joy.
You are happiness.
You are very very busy and sometimes you make me so very very tired.
You have this habit of wanting to be held while simultaneously wanting to run from our house to California and back before bed time. It's comical to everyone else watching. It's a workout for my biceps. I'm thinking of trying out for the UFC before you turn two. I know your dad will watch. He'd probably bet on the Other Guy, though.
It's ok. I still love you for it.
You keep me on my toes. You bring me to my knees. You create games out of Tupperware, tampons and recycling. You're perfectly happy to crawl butt naked around the wood floor and drag your penis from the living room to the kitchen. Don't worry, you don't have worms. We checked.
You do, however, have an ear for music. When a song comes on your face lights up and you jiggle your legs until you fall. You find this so completely hilarious you have a hard time getting back up.
You giggle at everything your sister does.
She does a lot of things for you. And to you. She likes to pretend you're a princess.
You don't mind too much.
We enjoy you fully, our little Man Baby, the one who completed our family. We need nothing else, our snuggles are warm, our arms are full, our hearts are complete and we all adore you more than you'll ever know.
Thank you for being you even if you still don't sleep through the night. (I'm telling myself it's because I'm so super cool and you'd rather be with me at 3AM then by yourself because it's the single time each day we sit and snuggle in the quiet. And I love it, too.) Thank you for being early. Thank you for being amazing. Thank you for choosing us as your family.
We love you.
And, to the Inernet, thank you. Thank you to our friends who held him and let me poop. Thank you to my family. Thank you to Jack Daniels. Thank you for watching him come early, go to the NICU, grow, come home, crawl, giggle, walk. Thank you for sharing this year with us.
Thank you.
Sweet sweet sweet. You brought a tear to my eye. Congrats to all of you for surviving that first year.

By Momto2 on 2008 05 20

Awww…happy first birthday to your wonderful Baby O! I can't believe he's already one.
What a wonderful birthday tribute mama!
By Jamie on 2008 05 20
Wow, that was a fast year. Today, all of my little students sang BD to Baby O without me leading them. *surprise* I only mentioned his big day while at the calendar because a first is so special. They also made a play dough cake with candles too. Baby O, you are loved so many miles away. More than you realize.
By Oma Flinger on 2008 05 20
That was so sweet. I am probably going to watch it 100 times. I don't see me ever getting tired of it.
I feel so blessed to have been part of baby O's first year. Thanks for letting me share.
Happy 1st Birthday Baby O!
By Laura on 2008 05 20
I can't believe its been a YEAR already! Happy Happy Birthday O!
By Marjorie on 2008 05 20
Jenny and Bree, I KNOW. He looks exactly like LB. Here I thought it was my one chance at having a kid that actually looks like mine… DARNIT.
And thank you everyone. I'm so printing these out for his baby book. YES, he has one. .. um.. it's my blog. But still! I will print them and put them in his Baby O box.
By Mrs. Flinger on 2008 05 20
Has it been a year already? It seems like just a few months ago you were telling us about his birth. It's crazy how time flies. Happy birthday big guy!
By Christine on 2008 05 20
Happy Birthday Baby O! I can't believe it's been a year since I met you for the first time, such a tiny bundle of joy!
By Paige on 2008 05 20
Happy Birthday Baby O! We love you little man. It's going to be an exciting year ahead….looking forward to watching you grow some more! xoxo
By Michelle on 2008 05 20
Happy, happy birthday Baby O!! Look how big and cute he got!!
Wow! A whole year! Just like that! I can't believe how fast it went by! (Says she… who is looking down at recently post-partum belly flab - and baby who is currently sleeping on daddy's chest)
Thanks for sharing the journey with us, Leslie. This whole mommy thing is much more life in the trenches than anyone ever let on… and it's nice to know I am not the only one thinking the things you actually have the "balls" to blog about! Damn you for living so far away, though… hopefully we can get together for a drink 'fer reals' one day!

This Week… starting May 10, 2010
Cirque du Soleil Clowning Workshop in Merida! Saturday and Sunday, May 15 & 16
Call and make your reservations today. This workshop is aimed at dancers, actors, educators, performers, and the general public. It is a two day event that will be led by artist and master of Cirque du Soleil Jef Johnson. Jef Johnson is a principal clown in the Broadway and international touring company of Slava's Snowshow. He has worked with Cirque du Soleil as a clown, special artistic consultant and workshop director. He has given Master Classes, Lectures and Workshops for many organizations, theatre companies and universities and he conducts his practical research out of Jef Johnson's Clown Lab in New York City and in Barcelona at the Nouveau Clown Institute. His research focuses on naive experience, creative consciousness, play, patterned behavior and social identity.
Jef reminds us that "The clown describes something much deeper than jokes and big shoes. Clowning can lead to the liberation of the human spirit through imagination, fantasy and atmosphere of the game." This workshop will stress purity of being, which means "being present" in our environment.
Location: Habla, Calle 26 No. 99 B, x 19 y 21, Col. México
Time: 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, with an hour break each day
Admission: $890 pesos
Municipal Fiestas This Week
Four festivals this week in honor of San Isidro Labrador. Who is this saint? According to Wikipedia, he is also known as Isidore the Laborer or Isidore the Farmer. He lived in Spain from 1070 to 1130 AD, and was a Spanish day laborer known for his goodness to the poor and to animals. No wonder they celebrate him so much here in the Yucatan! His official Saint's Day is May 15.
Panaba Fiesta – 6 Day Event: May 10 through May 15
This event is in honor of San Isidro Labrador. A trip to Panaba is probably a good idea about now. This municipality is just inland from San Felipe and Rio Lagartos. It also just this side of Tizimin, which means it is, quite literally, in the gateway to horse country – with the best beaches (and seafood) nearby.
Uayma Fiesta 1 Day Event – May 15
This is a fiesta in honor of San Isidro Labrador too! Uayma is just south of Espita and just this side of Valladolid and Temozon. If you are looking for good country living, this is the place to visit and/or to live. Lots of great pottery here too! And of course, there is the beautiful restored church in Uayma…
Kopoma Fiesta 1 Day Event – May 15
Yet another fiesta is in honor of San Isidro Labrador. Kopoma is in a great location in the west of Yucatan. It is in the heart of some of the best examples of Mayan historical monuments and culture – just east of Maxcanu, between Chochola and Opichen, and just west of Muna, Abala, and Uman. Look for traditional hammocks and embroidery here, as well as cenotes and a short ride to many Mayan sites.
Baca Fiesta 5 Day Event – May 15 through May 19
This fiesta is ALSO in honor of San Isidro Labrador. Baca is a great place to visit! Its only 28 km northeast of the city – just this side of Motul. If anyone is interested in living close enough to the city to enjoy everything from its cultural opportunities to world class health care – but far enough away to be cool in the heat of the summer, this is the area of Yucatan you are looking for. For more, you can now visit Baca online: http://yucatan.ws/?cat=7

Babette experiences unexpected good fortune and implores the sisters to allow her to take charge of the preparation of the meal.

Programming in Go
All Systems Go
The Go programming language combines type safety with manageable syntax and an extensive library. We take you through a programming example.
The Go programming language recently celebrated its fourth birthday and increasing popularity. The language has very few limits when it comes to coding Unix daemons, networking code, parallelized programs, and the like, although it is probably less well-suited for an operating system kernel. The Docker container virtualization project and Ubuntu Juju tool are two examples of projects written in Go.
Designed as an heir to the C programming language [1], Go offers many of its predecessor's strengths, while simplifying syntax and supporting secure programming (e.g., through strong type casting). The Unsafe module makes Go resemble C more closely, although it does compromise security, as the module name suggests.
The standard Go library [2] is extensive, offering many useful system programming modules for data compression, cryptography, binary file formats (ELF, Mach-O), and so forth. In this article, I will create a simple tool written in Go that has a function similar to the
ps process status tool in Linux.
Go Projects
Go projects have a somewhat peculiar directory structure. To compile source code files, you must follow a certain procedure, so that the
go build and project tool work properly.
GOPATH environment variable specifies the directory in which all Go projects reside. Below that are
bin, and
src, the latter of which contains the source code under a directory that uniquely identifies a package or project. In principle, this can be any string but is typically your domain name, followed by a project name (e.g.,
linux-magazine.com/<project>; Figure 1). The
go tool also loads projects off the Internet (e.g., from GitHub), which then end up in
In my example, the projects reside in
$HOME/gocode. The environment variable is set like this:
export GOPATH=$HOME/gocode
The following call sets the project directory for the tool I will be programming,
lap (i.e., list all processes):
mkdir -p src/linux-magazine.com/lap
If you now store a small "Hello World" file here [1], you can compile the project as follows:
go build linux-magazine.com/lap
If you take a look at the
GOPATH/bin directory, you will discover no files there. The
go tool only copies the binary to this location if you use the
install command; it thus makes sense to do this straight away, instead of detouring via
build. Program libraries end up in
GOPATH/pkg. The object files can be removed by issuing
go clean package; with an additional switch,
go clean-f also removes the binaries.
The idea behind
lap is quite simple. In the
/proc filesystem on Linux, a globally visible directory for each running process uses the process ID as the name. Below this are a number of virtual files with information about this process, including the
stat and
status files, which contain, for example, the parent process ID, the owner, the start time, and so on.
Processing Files
The first task is therefore to list the files in
/proc and filter out the ones with the process information. It can be done quite easily with the
filepath.Glob function, which returns all the file names that match a certain pattern in an array. The following approach takes a little detour to demonstrate a few aspects of loops and string processing in Go:
entries, err := ioutil.ReadDir(procDir) for index, proc := range entries { // do something with proc }
The directory contents are returned by a call to the
ReadDir function from the
ioutil package. To go through all the entries, use the
for loop with a range expression that lets you iterate over arrays, slices, strings, maps, and channels. With only one control variable,
range assigns this to the array index. Go automatically assigns a second variable to the content of the corresponding array element.
The Go compiler only accepts this if you actually do something with the
index variable. If you don't, you can use the Go wildcard for variables,
proc in this example is of the
os.FileInfo type; it implements an interface that includes the call to
Name() for reading the file name.
Unicode Support
Finding out whether the first character is a number is a little more difficult because Go uses UTF-8 for character encoding – which is actually a good thing. Because UTF-8 is a format that uses between 1 and 4 bytes for a character, it is not clear from the outset how many bytes the first character includes. Typically, Go programmers work their way through a byte array bit by bit and then make decisions on when a new UTF-8 character starts. With a type cast, Go does this automatically in one fell swoop. This results in an array of "runes" – as single UTF-8 characters are called in Go – of which you read the first character with an array index. This in turn can be done with a simple call to the
unicode.IsDigit() function, which expects a rune as an argument:
if unicode.IsDigit([]rune(proc.Name())[0]) {...
Incidentally, the small example program that can be seen in Figure 2 proves that this is not just true of Arabic numerals in the Unicode world but also works for any other numeric systems.
The next task is to open the virtual files in procfs and process their content. Conveniently, the
ioutil library again offers a function (
ReadFile) that fully reads a file and stores the contents in a byte array:
stat, err := ioutil.ReadFile(filename)
As you can see, the function returns two values: the content of the file and an error code. This is typical of Go functions and certainly more structured than, for example, returning a null pointer for the content in the case of an error. If you assign the error code to a variable, you also need to process the variable; otherwise, the compiler will in turn generate an error message and refuse to compile the file. If you want to ignore the return value, you can again assign the error code to the wildcard,
_. To process the fault, you would typically test whether the
err variable is equal to
nil. If so, no error has occurred.
/proc/PID/stat file contains only one line in a fixed format, with the individual fields separated by spaces. Unfortunately, the format is not documented anywhere in a useful way, not even in the Linux kernel documentation of procfs [2].
Ultimately, your only resource, if you want to know exactly what is going on, is to take a look at the Linux source code. The PID comes first no matter what (and this is the same as the directory name), then in brackets you have the process name, the process status, and the parent PID.

Beater doesn't bounce back all the way
Okay, now that we've had that, let's get on with it ;) Yesterday me and my band were practicing, when suddenly I noticed that the beater on my Pearl bass pedal hardly bounces back from the bass drum. I replaced the pedal with another one already lying around in the practice space, and I immediately noticed a huge difference: not only did it bounce back properly, the bass drum sounded (and felt) much better, and louder! I guess it's because of my relative inexperience (I've been drumming for only 2,5 years) that I didn't notice this before... Turns out I have been playing with a largely muted bass drum for months!
Of course, I would like t know how to solve this problem. I already tried loosening and tightening the spring, but it didn't change anything. Also, I tried connecting the second pedal (it's a double pedal system, but I only use the main pedal), and although it didn't solve the problem, I noticed the second beater IS functioning properly.
To illustrate the problem, here are two images.
This is the pedal in the desired position, before I play a bass drum stroke.
And this is the pedal in the faulty position, to which it returns after every stroke.
Does this sound familiar to any of you? Do you know what I have to do to solve this issue?
Thanks guys!
Re: Beater doesn't bounce back all the way
A friend of mine had a problem similar to this before, and I think I know what's wrong with your pedal.
There is an adjustment screw on the right side of the pedal. It is the connecting piece between the spring and the shaft that the beater is mounted on, and sometimes the components in this piece can wear down or come loose. I don't have an exact diagram, so I'd suggest dismantling the linking components for the spring and rotation shaft and checking out what parts there are that could be adjusted. If I remember correctly, my friend needed a particularly small Allen Wrench to fix his problem, and even then the part wore down eventually.
I'm a Pearl guy all the way, but this was a bad mistake for them to make.
"At the end of the day you just draw pretty pictures on a field and play some rimp ska dimps."
Re: Beater doesn't bounce back all the way
I will note that your problem may actually be linked to something being jammed up or dirty in that area so clean it out first and then try adjusting it as seen in the video.
"Carry Stress in the Jaw"
Re: Beater doesn't bounce back all the way
I think either the beater or the cam is moving on the shaft. Looking carefully at the photographs I compared the position of the cam with the beater. It looks different in the lower picture. Something has moved.
Re: Beater doesn't bounce back all the way
On the top of the cam that connects the spring to the axel, there is a drum key screw. Loosen it. Rotate the beater to where you want it to be. Then tighten the screw. Done.
Re: Beater doesn't bounce back all the way
Thanks for the help guys, I think you helped me figure it out! I took a closer look at the pedal, and I took apart the whole mechanism like Coldhardsteel said. After putting it together again, it appears to be functioning correctly, there is no 'lag' between the kick and the pedal starting to move!

text: Consumers employ two justification routes to relax their self-control: one through entitlement (e.g., hard work or excellence) and the second through attaining indulgence at low monetary (income) cost. The two general routes to justifying self-gratification and their marketing implications are then examined in two separate theses. In Thesis 1, it is demonstrated that (a) higher effort or (bogus) excellence enhances choices of temptation over prudence, but these effects are reversed when the interchangeability of effort and income is implied; (b) willingness-to-pay in effort is greater for indulgences than necessities, but willingness-to-pay in effort framed as income is higher for necessities; and (c) sensitivity to the type and magnitude of the perceived resource is greater for individuals with stronger (chronic or manipulated) indulgence guilt. In Thesis 2, it is shown that promotions have a stronger positive effect on the purchase likelihood of (d) hedonic than utilitarian products, (e) the same product when the consumption goal is hedonic than. utilitarian, and (f) the same product when the product description is more hedonic than less hedonic. Further, although promotions are particularly effective in stimulating purchases of hedonic products for the self, such effect will be attenuated or even eliminated (g) when the product is intended for others (purchased on other's behalf or for others as a gift), (h) when consumers are asked to think of reasons before they make their purchase decisions, or (i) when consumers perceive low accountability of their decisions. Theoretical and managerial implications of the findings are discussed.

Massage and Spa Therapy Skills Can Yield Extra Income
DailyDollar's focus on education this week continues with a look at a way to gain a new skill without changing careers. Massage therapists can earn part-time income providing massage services at night and on weekends. This allows them to maintain their full-time job if they choose.
Spa therapy schools typically offer instruction about aroma and stone therapy as well as holistic skin care and reiki.To find a nearby institution that offers training in this field, simply enter your zip code at Best Education Finder.
A May 2008 report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reveals that massage therapists earn over $19.00 per hour on average and some earn as much as $33.00 per hour.
Massage therapists can choose to have low overhead by avoiding office space and simply providing services in people's homes. Alternatively, massage therapists can secure part-time hours working at a:
|skiing facility
|fitness center
|country club
Best Education Finder is a free service to help people find schools in their area and explore the degree programs they offer. Just enter your zip code to get started.

OKLAHOMA CITY — It's report card day – not for students, but for every school across the state.
The Oklahoma State Department of Education has released this year's "A through F" report cards.
The results show many schools are not passing.
However, in the second year of SDE issuing the report cards, 354 schools (20%) received an overall A, compared to 160 in 2012.
There were 499 schools that earned an overall B – 28% of all schools. 472 (26%) received C's.
That compares to last year's total of 842 B's and 594 C's.
There was also a significant rise in D's and F's, with 263 schools getting the former and 163 schools receiving F's, a combined 24% of schools statewide.
In 2012, the report cards recorded 138 D's and 10 F's.
SDE officials say "student achievement" accounts for 50% of the grade.
"Overall student growth" accounts for 25%.
The "bottom quartile student growth" makes up the final 25% of a school's grade.
Those grades are now posted on: http://afreportcards.ok.gov
State Board of Education member Bill Price says Oklahoma used to have system that graded schools with a number, like 1,100 – but no one knew what it meant.
He says an A-through-F system is easier to understand and doesn't turn good schools into bad ones.
"The same failing schools (years ago) tend to be the failing schools today," Price said Wednesday. "There's a tendency to attack the system, other than what they should really do. Let's figure out a way to improve the failing schools."
If your child's school got an "F", State Superintendent Janet Barresi said there's no penalty – but there is help.
"Those schools are offered, and can freely receive, a great deal of support services from our department," she said.
After a lot of negative feedback from districts, the state legislature changed the grading calculation formula.
Now, bonus points can be given for advanced placement classes and lower dropout rates.
"It is hoped to generate conversation among parents and community people and their schools," Barresi said, "to how together they can work together towards continual improvement of the school."
But in an OU and OSU report released in October, called "A-F Report Card. Oklahoma School Grades: Hiding 'Poor' Achievement," researchers said "…when raw scores for reading, math, and science were averaged, three to six correct responses separated 'A' schools from 'F' schools.
"…math performance in some "D" and "F" schools was higher than that in some "B" and "C" schools.
"…and "A" and "B" schools were least effective for poor and minority students."
Barresi called the report "politically motivated."
"That report said children of poverty can't achieve," Barresi said. "You know folks, this isn't about poverty, whether or not a child is poor. This is whether or not a child is prepared."
OU and OSU researchers told us they couldn't comment until they present their findings next week.
Oklahoma school grades are now posted on: http://afreportcards.ok.gov

Jakarta Globe
Regional administrations are better placed than the central government to develop local creative economies, Tourism and Creative Economy Minister Mari Elka Pangestu said in Jakarta on Friday.
"Bandung is one area that is progressively developing its creative economy. They were ahead in developing a blue print for a creative economy long before the central government. Their creative community is in the hundreds," the minister said at the Indonesia Creative Products Week (PPKI) expo in South Jakarta on Friday.
"The Solo city administration is also ahead in facilitating its creative economy because it believes the sector provides a huge contribution. It works to preserve its arts center so that people can learn music and traditional dance."
Mari said regional administrations across the country should start documenting their cultural wealth not just to exploit it but also to protect it from being claimed by other countries.
The minister said she was optimistic that within a decade, Indonesia would become a creative economy giant due to the abundance of cultures across the country, strong demand at home and abroad, and the growing youth population.
Mari called for better protection of intellectual property rights to create a supportive environment in Indonesia for young artists and creative entrepreneurs.
She added that she believed Indonesian music and culture could emulate the global success of South Korea's K-pop and soap operas. "In the next 10 years I hope Indonesia will have I-Pop, our fashion designers can display their work in New York and Indonesian films are shown around the world," she said.
John Howkins, an English creative economy expert and author of a book on the subject, praised Indonesia for developing its creative economic potential.
"Opportunity for Indonesia to develop its creative economy is wide open. The most important thing is to have ideas and skills to add extra value. Creative economy does not require great capital," he said.
"There are a lot of companies that use Facebook to market their services and products. There is even a gaming company that started from nothing … and in two years became a multi-million dollar business," he added.
Mari said that in 2010, the creative economy sector contributed Rp 468 trillion ($48.6 billion) to national gross domestic product and employed 8.6 million people.

Below is the poem entitled Empty Baskets which was written by poet
Anderson. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Ann Anderson
With empty baskets
in both hands
she treads the cobbles
of her broken land.
Her home once
pale washed blue
a reflection of early
morning dew
where now a bomb
stained hue.
She's walking solemn corridors
still empty baskets in her hand
she looks for the reason
but she can't understand.
The flowers grew in the garden
the mid day feast displayed
she still walks with empty baskets
her sunken eyes displayed.

American citizens can currently sponsor their foreign spouses for legal residency under the Immigration and Nationality Act. But the estimated 35,000 same-sex, binational couples in the United States are out of luck. The Uniting American Families Act would extend family immigration privileges to those couples.
The bill was introduced in the Senate last February and the House in March. Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., held hearings on the bill in June.
But while the DREAM Act and AgJOBS may have legs, file this one under "less likely." To get around the Defense of Marriage Act, the law would apply to same-sex couples in a "lifelong," "committed, intimate relationship." Although there will be penalties for fakers, those vagaries are still likely to worry lawmakers who have seen think Gerard Depardieu and Andie MacDowell in Green Card one too many times.
Moreover, there is little bipartisan support for the idea (all of the bill's 118 cosponsors are Democrats). Democrats aren't making it a priority, either. Parts of the DREAM Act and AgJOBS are in Gutierrez's bill, but same-sex immigration benefits are not.

Lake Country Students Help Food Pantry
Lake Country Academy students demonstrated the core virtue of teamwork with a food drive for the Salvation Army.
With help from family and faculty, students in 4K through eighth grade held a food drive for the Salvation Army Food Pantry. Through school assemblies, faculty skits and a visit from Development Director for the Sheboygan Salvation Army Heidi Cain, the students learned how food pantries help the community and about the increased need for donations.
For four weeks, the students collected over 2,000 cans and boxes of food, filling over six donation barrels for the pantry. The students learned that as a team they were capable of making a big difference. Their project demonstrated that the school "team" could work together with the larger community team in order to help others.
Pictured here are second to fourth grade Lake Country Academy students at they help Cain load the van with food pantry donations.
Lake Country Academy's curriculum emphasizes a different core virtue each month. Teacher teams spearhead activities such as presentations, classroom skits, take-home activities and community service projects to demonstrate virtues such as, respect, responsibility, generosity, perseverance, courage, compassion, and citizenship.
