Exit Analysis
There has been much written (with more every day!) about where to enter a trade. But often, exiting a trade is even more important in terms of impact to your P&L – and for many traders, much more difficult. So we have added some calculations to help analyze your trade exits – helping you answer the questions like did you exit at the right place, and how much did you leave on the table?
Before we get too far into this, let me mention that for some trades, this is irrelevant. If you enter a momentum trade, it ticks up a few points, and you sell when the momentum dries up, you made the right decision according to your plan. If the stock consolidates for an hour, then pops up another 6 points, it doesn't matter – you still made the right decision. On the other hand, if your plan was to make a trend trade, then perhaps you should have captured more of the move.
Starting today, Tradervue will calculate the "best exit" P&L for each of your eligible trades. That best exit is determined by "floating" the last exit executions up to their highest point (or lowest, in the case of a short); this exit point may be before or after your actual exit. By looking at this best exit value in comparison to your actual P&L in the trade, you can quickly see how efficient you were in terms of extracting P&L.
Let's consider a simple trade in FDX. We bought, we sold a bit, then we bought some more, and then exited:
Looking at that last exit, we see that if we had delayed it a few minutes, we could have extracted much more from this trade.
Sometimes you might scale out of a trade in pieces. Perhaps you sell part to cover risk, sell part into an anticipated resistance level, and then sell the last part on a discretionary basis. Tradervue will assume all exits prior to the last one are done according to your trading plan, and won't question them – but it will make calculations based on the last one. So for example:
For this trade, only the last execution will be moved around to find the best exit P&L.
Of course, none of this matters if you would have to suffer a large drawdown to get to your theoretical maximum P&L. For this reason, Tradervue takes risk into account when calculating your best exit P&L. Specifically, it looks at:
- How much drawdown did you take on in the real trade (i.e. the Position MAE of the trade). We're not going to assume you're willing to take on more risk than this.
- What was your specified Initial Risk value for the trade? (if you're using Tradervue's risk management features)
The larger of those two values will be used as the max drawdown value when calculating where the best exit would be.
As an example:
We see that the last sale could have been much better – about 0.75 higher. However, immediately after that last sale, we see the price dropped further. We were already at a loss at this point, and if we held that last part of the position, we'd be at an even greater loss than you took in the actual trade – which, unless a larger initial risk was specified, is not acceptable. Therefore, the best exit for that execution would be the top of the exit bar, only about 0.06 higher than the actual exit.
However, suppose the plotted executions were 100 shares each, and we specified an initial risk value of $50. In that case, the drawdown after the last exit would not exceed the allowable risk, and it would be moved to the peak at about 31.80 for purposes of best exit calculations.
Tradervue will calculate two values for each trade:
- the best exit P&L
- the exit efficiency (in %)
The exit efficiency is only calculated for trades that you closed as winners, and is calculated as
(actual P&L) / (best exit P&L)
Basically, it represents what % of the theoretical P&L did you extract from the trade.
This data can be quite surprising; look at this short V trade:
We see there were some entries and exits working into this trade, and then the final cover at about 74. But we can also see that without accepting any additional risk, the best exit would have been at about 67. For this trade, that makes our exit efficiency at about 9.2% – clearly a trade we can learn a lot from, and study further to help us understand why we exited so early.
The new calculations appear in several places:
- It's in the trade statistics for each trade:
If you hover over the words "Best Exit P&L", the time of the best exit will be shown.
- There are new Best Exit and Exit Efficiency columns available in the Trades View:
- Selectable data points in the advanced reports:
Exit analysis is automatically done for all closed stock, futures, and forex trades, under 7 days in duration, done during regular market hours (for stocks). The time period considered runs out until the end of the trading day for each trade (which may be the next calendar day for futures).
There are some further specifics available on the Exit Analysis help page.
Exit analysis is available today for all users on the gold subscription plan!
UPDATE 04/13/2015: Exit analysis is now enabled for forex trades.
New relative volatility report
A while back, we added reports into Tradervue that would show how trading performance related to the behavior of the underlying instrument, including its Average True Range (ATR). Today, we've added a new report related to these.
ATR represents the recent volatility in a trading instrument, in terms of the average daily range of movement in the instrument. The new report shows the True Range of the instrument on the trading day, divided by the ATR(14), expressed as a percentage:
This TR/ATR is a measure of relative volatility of an instrument; namely, did it move more or less today relative to its recent 14-day average range. The higher the percentage, the more the instruments true range on the day exceeded the ATR, and was thus more volatile than expected.
In the example above, we can see the trader's P&L performance was dramatically better on days when the instrument he was trading was moving more than its ATR, and underperformed when the instrument was moving less.
The new reports are available immediately for all silver and gold users on the Reports View, Detailed tab, Instrument group. They are also available on the Win vs Loss Days and Compare tabs.
Sterling Trader Pro support added
We've added support for importing trades from Sterling Trader Pro! This has been a very popular request, so we're happy to have this in place now.
To import, click Import Trades, select Sterling Trader Pro from the list, and follow the instructions on the right side of the page.
Charts display mode on Trades View
We've added a new way to view your trades in the Trades View. If you click the Settings button over on the right side, you'll see a new "Display Mode" setting:
There are three settings to choose from:
- Table (this is the default view)
- Charts (large)
- Charts (small)
Here are examples of how each view looks.
Charts (large)
Charts (small)
The charts views can be very useful for quickly identifying patterns visually in your trades, without having to open the detail view for each trade.
The charts displayed are automatically chosen from the charts you have configured for each trade, choosing the chart with the most detailed timeframe that will still show the entire trade (if possible). Any configured studies on the chosen chart will be shown.
The new Trades View modes are available today for all users!
Merrill Edge now supported
If you're trading on Merrill Edge, you can now import your trades into Tradervue. In Tradervue, click Import Trades, select Merrill Edge, and follow the instructions on the right side of the page!
New weekly performance report
You can now view weekly realized P&L performance, in addition to the year, month, and day periods. From the Reports View, go to the Overview tab, and click the Year/Month/Day group. Just below the yearly performance, you'll see options for monthly and weekly:
Just click "Weekly" to see your distribution and performance by week for the selected year. As with all of the reports, these can be run in terms of aggregate or per-trade average performance, either gross or net, and in units of $, ticks, or R.
For reporting purposes, a "week" runs from Sunday to Saturday, and January 1 is always considered to be in week 1.

Tell Congress to Finish the Job on Health Care Reform
As the health care debate continues in Washington, one fact remains: our nation's health care system still isn't meeting the needs of its people.
Every single day, people with serious medical conditions -- like cancer -- are denied health insurance. They're forced to decide between paying for treatment and feeding their families. They're going broke just to save their lives.
Debate is still happening in Congress and there is still time to make a difference.
With enough signatures we can pressure Congress to do the right thing and act now on health care reform. We'll then hand - deliver the petitions to Congress so lawmakers from both parties can see we are still fighting - and that they should too.
The fight for Health Care Reform has not been easy, but we've come too far and accomplished too much to let this effort fail.
We call on Democrats, Republicans and Independents in the House and Senate to come together to pass a meaningful bill that improves access to insurance coverage and lowers the costs of care. No American should be denied coverage because of a pre-existing condition, and no American should have to choose between their life savings and saving their life.
Now is not the time to turn back. To our leaders in Congress, we say: Move forward and pass health care reform. It's time to act.

GRAND RAPIDS (WZZM) - When a business turns 85 years old, as Reynolds & Sons Sporting Goods did this year, it can consider itself established. But, to reach that upper stratosphere of longevity, a business has to change with the times - and even reinvent itself along the way.
The longstanding downtown retailer, which has always been located at 12 Monroe Center NW, opened in 1927 as Goebel & Brown Sporting Goods. The business became Reynolds & Brown in 1961 when Stephen Reynolds purchased the Goebel interest.
The Reynolds family then bought out Richard Brown in 1982 and the store became Reynolds & Sons. The sons were Jeff and Stephen II. Jeff purchased Stephen's share in 1996 and has been the sole owner since then.

Duterte warns vs pre-need, pyramiding-A A +A
Sunday, March 17, 2013
DAVAO City Vice Mayor Rodrigo Duterte asked the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) and Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) to investigate and arrest those behind a pyramiding scam involving the sale of pre-need and insurance plans.
Duterte requested for the probe after the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued an advisory, warning the public to be alert against unauthorized sale of life insurance and memorial plans.
"They are going around committing estafa. Now, I am requesting the National Bureau of Investigation and the CIDG to investigate and arrest (people who are involve)," Duterte said in his television program "Gikan sa Masa, Para sa Masa" aired Sunday morning.
Duterte even jested to the public to stab those who are involved in any scam. "Sa kusina ninyo, pagkuhag mo'g kutsilyo unya dunggaba. Kung sakali habol ng kutsilyo ninyo, dili makadulot, adto na lang mo sa pulis o di ba kaya sa NBI (Get a knife from your kitchen and stab them. But if your knife is blunt, then just go to the police or NBI)."
Reports said the SEC has received information that a certain firm in Davao City is engaged in unauthorized sale to the public of insurance and pre-need plans, specifically life insurance and memorial plans, by means of a pyramiding scheme.
It was also said the scheme offers life insurance, memorial service and big income potential through membership by payment of the specific amount payable in five years, or inviting and adopting three persons to join the program.
In a separate public notice, the SEC said Davao-based Connectacons Inc. or Connect Gems is unauthorized to sell pre-need and life insurance.
"The public is warned not to invest in high-yield, high-risk investment--a promise that is too good to be true," SEC said, adding that before investing, the public should make sure that the company offering insurance is licensed to offer such products.

Military veterans can be forgotten about once they return stateside, but the Clemson athletic department made sure to show its appreciation of about 40 Marine combat veterans, who got a tour of Clemson's athletics facilities Thursday.
The tour was part of the South Carolina Upstate area's annual effort called "Honoring Their Service" to thank soldiers for the sacrifices they made. The soldiers spent the week engaged in different sporting activities, but Thursday gave them the opportunity to view the school's locker rooms and rub Howard's Rock.
Allen Makinson, 24, who has served two tours in Afghanistan, told OrangeandWhite.com that all the activities were appreciated.
"It's very humbling," he said. "It's nice to know somebody cares.
"There are days out there," he said, "when you don't know if anybody cares about you at all."
Mission accomplished for Clemson, and the rest of those who celebrated these soldiers this week.

Current and former members of our armed forces and politicians packed the place for the patriotic program that honored the men and women who gave their lives for our freedom. They also remembered all the missing in action and prisoners of war.
This year's guest speaker was retired U.S. Army Colonel John Wayne Smith of Smiths Grove.

To look beautiful at the beach in Malibu, you need to feel beautiful. Walk with confidence. Hold your head high and smile. Smiling people always look more attractive. Behave as if you are beautiful and you will be. Following these tips will make sure you look stunning at the beach.
Buy a tan
It is dangerous to tan in the sun. You risk skin cancer, and that sun burnt, red, raw, and peeling skin looks terrible for those with fair skin. Instead, consider a fake tan. Airbrushing is the safest method and is available at tanning salons everywhere. Sunset Tan may be worth a phone call and appointment!
If you prefer, you can buy a tanning lotion and apply this yourself. Ask a friend to help you and practice the application a few times to avoid streaks or an uneven application, before hitting the beach.
Have a pedicure
Bare toes are on display at the beach. Nicely cut and freshly polished toenails are attractive. Choose a soft pastel nail polish to compliment your new tan.
Invest in a fabulous new hairstyle
A professional haircut and color is preferable. Be subtle with your color change. Use blonde highlights to accentuate fair to medium colored hair. Your hair will look as if the sun has gently bleached it. Choose foils or streaks to provide a natural look at the beach.
If your normal hair color is dark, choose an all-over color first, such as auburn. Add blonde foils or streaks for a sun-bleached effect.
Choose new beachwear
Be sure that a bikini suits your figure, before purchasing. To look great in a small bikini, you need small breasts. If you have a fuller figure, choose a bikini with a halter-top. The halter-top will help keep your breasts in place. If necessary, buy a top with wide straps for extra support. If you have large thighs, try "boy leg" bottoms, as this style is more slimming.
A two-piece swimsuit flatters a larger figure
Tone down the bold, bright, printed tops with plain dark bottoms.
A sarong is a wonderful accessory
Sarongs add impact to your fashion statement at the beach. If you have a fuller figure, choose a larger sarong. A low-cut sarong can make your belly flop over the top of the sarong, which is not an attractive look. A longer length sarong tied at the waist detracts attention from your belly and gives your legs a prettier look. Stroll confidently along the beach wearing a lovely light sarong.
A good pair of sunglasses is essential
Choose sunglasses that suit your face. The shape of your sunglasses can make an amazing difference to your appearance. Glasses with round lenses, for example, make a round face look even chubbier. Wrap-around sunglasses look stylish and offer better protection from the sun. There's plenty of places in Malibu to buy a pair of sunglasses if you don't own a good pair.
Protect your skin
Buy a good sunscreen. Make sure you read the label on your chosen sunscreen and apply as directed. You should reapply the sunscreen several times during the day to ensure full protection .Choose a higher SPF rating, such as 15 or 30, as this offers more defense against the sun. Applying sunscreen now will help prevent facial wrinkles later in life.
Now all you have to do is enjoy your time at the beach. A happy, self-confident person always looks good. Your friends will be surprised when they see the new you. Tanned, well groomed, and beautifully clothed, you will be a knockout at the beach.

How the Supreme Court shapes the Constitution
I was inspired by Ken Barton's comments about the U.S. Constitution in the May 28 Standard-Times. Indeed, as I understand his argument, whenever a vacancy occurs on the U.S. Supreme Court, the president's nominee should face close scrutiny in the Senate before confirmation to the bench. True enough.
Barton suggests also that the only way the Constitution can evolve is via amendment as specified in Article V. Certainly, that is the way much of the Constitution's evolution has taken place.
However, complex questions rarely render simple answers.
First, the Constitution evolves via judicial review (the constitutional characteristic that animates, in our time "judicial activism" and "judicial restraint") as well as amendment. And both conservative and liberal justices engage in the practice.
A justice labeling himself or herself a "strict constructionist," for instance, means whatever interpretations of the Constitution that justice makes during judicial review will be founded on that justice's reading of the Constitution. Unable to consult the Founders, a justice must interpret their intent.
Further, the Founders realized that the United States would not remain in the 18th century. We know this perhaps because of the provision to amend the Constitution. Thus, they recognized that historical circumstances — the felt necessities of future generations — might create a need for the Constitution to change.
Yes, they provided for amendment. But they did not specifically restrict judicial interpretation of the Constitution.
So interpretation under the influence of changed social, political, economic and cultural circumstances was tacitly embraced by the Founders. Whether consciously or not, they left it up to the Supreme Court to decide how a historical moment affects the meaning of the Constitution.
A case in point is Marbury v. Madision. The U.S. Constitution contains no language providing for judicial review of laws written by Congress. But in 1803, Chief Justice John Marshall, faced with circumstances probably inconceivable to the Constitution's authors only a few years before, found such a power in Article III, Section 2, which grants to the Supreme Court review of "all cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution."
Marshall said: "It is emphatically the province and duty of the judicial department to say what the law is." Indeed, he said it has to be the Supreme Court that decides the constitutionality of laws passed by Congress. Without such power to review, the Constitution would be a surreal attempt to limit the power of those who, without the court, would have illimitable power.
A second example of judicial interpretation resulting from historical circumstances came in Worcester v. Georgia when, once again, Marshall found that the Cherokee people in Georgia were politically a nation, one that had made treaties with the United States.
As a result, he wrote that the Cherokee Nation was "a distinct community occupying its own territory ... in which the laws of Georgia can have no force, and which the citizens of Georgia have no right to enter but with the assent of the Cherokees."
Here, Marshall directly opposed the will of President Andrew Jackson, who wished to remove the Cherokees to Oklahoma and make more land available for white settlement.
Because it was a federal court deciding the constitutionality of state law, this was a controversial decision. It required deft interpretation and a complete understanding of the historical moment, perhaps because it flew in the face of rising states' rights activism within the United States.
Marshall favored a strong central government. But his decision here also confirmed the Constitution's desire for freedom from tyrannical power.
A third example of important judicial interpretation came in Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896. In that decision, the Supreme Court decided that segregation on trains was legal as long as train cars for black people and those for white people were substantively the same. The court decided the 14th Amendment did not apply.
Changing that interpretation took more than half a century and required Brown v. Topeka Board of Education in 1954. In perhaps the most interpretive of all decisions, a unanimous court found that separate-but-equal in education was "inherently unequal" because it denied black people 14th Amendment rights to equal protection and was, thus, repugnant to the Constitution.
In all of these cases, Supreme Court justices weighed the evidence presented in court, applied the Constitution as they understood it in their historical moments and came to decisions. In short, they interpreted the Constitution, and the Constitution evolved as a result.
The Constitution works so well in part because of judicial interpretation. Its success is not because it is a static document created by men in the late 18th century who believed their vision flawless. It is because the Founders set up a system where the Constitution came to depend on the Supreme Court to balance the tyrannical tendencies of power.
And justices can do that only when they are free to apply the felt necessities of their moment — as they have throughout the Constitution's history — to the spirit and letter of a Constitution written in a bygone age.

Pallets of beer are sorted on a factory floor in Romania, amazingly fast, and using an unusual technique.
Employees are shown "Sorting Cases of Beer Like a Boss," sliding them on the floor instead of just carrying them, which is overrated anyway.
"Work like a conveyor belt," the foreman keeps yelling at them from time to time, as they throw cases of bottles around as if they were unbreakable. It looks like they really are in a rush, like they are being chased out of that warehouse.
For 2 minutes and twenty seconds, you cannot help but watch mesmerized as they use brute force to mishandle bottles. During this time, none of them is broken, proving the workers are quite skilled in beer case sliding.

A lighting wash bar with eighteen, 3-color LEDs that make for better color mixes, less shadows, and a brighter, more even color field.
The 3-1/3' American DJ Mega Tri Bar LED boasts eighteen 3W, 3-in-1 tri-color LEDs rated at 60,000 hours. Instead of each LED lamp being a single color, tri-color technology makes it possible for each lens to contain a combination of 3 single watt LEDs in red, green, and blue. This advanced, 3-color innovation gives users tremendous advantages over single-color LEDs, including improved RGB color mixing, the elimination of multi-color shadows, and a much brighter, more even field.
The Mega Tri Bar wash light also offers a variety of professional features found on much more expensive LED bars. There are 7 DMX work modes, flicker-free operation for television and video, built-in programs and color macros, plus strobe function and electronic dimming. The Mega Tri Bar can operate in DMX mode with a controller, in master/slave mode, sound active mode, and stand alone mode (you can also use the built-in digital display to operate each unit without a controller). The unit is multi-voltage (90-240V, 50/60Hz), draws a maximum of 80W, produces a 40-degree beam angle, and has in/out DMX and AC so that users can daisy-chain the power and the DMX connection.

Comments about American DJ Mega Tri Bar LED Wash Bar:
These lights are very versatile. You can use them for many applications including Wall washes, Foot lighting, Side lights, Stage wash, Pixel effects, Chase sequences and more.
It takes a little work to find a case that fits them but modified trunks can work. Mounting them on Crank stands can be an effort in mechanics as well but with a little ingenuity they can be succesfully mounted on T-Bars.
The color blending is so so. Saturated colors look great on wall washes but some of the more pastel stuff can start to show beams of individual colors down low.
Comments about American DJ Mega Tri Bar LED Wash Bar:
Purchased two of these from here to use as wall washes. Two factors which swayed me toward these were that they are flicker-free and RGB-shadowing free (well, almost, it turns out). They work very well as wall washes. They are solid as heck, with a glass lens and a very impressive power and data connection chaining system. I am washing a wall 25' high, and the beams reach the ceiling pretty easily, which is what I needed.Great product, recommend it.

UPDATE: The preview of the Spring 2008 Interweave Crochet is up. I hope you enjoy!
Kids, I missed CrochetMe.com's fourth birthday! It was two weeks ago. Happy birthday to us!
Also, I'm over a third-of-a-month tardy in shouting out National Crochet Month. Doing anything special to celebrate or promote crochet this month? There's a giant hoo-ha going on at the NatCroMo group on Ravelry.
It's always exciting to see crochet covered in the mainstream media. And though it's not the best writing the New York Times can offer, this article about the Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef project is awesome.
I've been surprised over the last year to read occasionally about people's confusion when beginning to make squares for the Babette Blanket. After overcoming my assumption that the squares are super simple, I did a demo on how to make them at the Knit Out & Crochet Too. I blogged about it at the magazine, and hope my drawn-on images don't do more harm than good (Skitch is so cool, I don't know when to stop).
Moving on to very-well-done images, Sister Diane recently posted a great tutorial on How to Crochet a Wire Flower Pendant [via Craft].
Finally, today is my sixth wedding anniversary. In a sea of magazine submissions, copy editing, and tech editing (with an added sea of marking, homework, and studying), the Mr and I are doing our best to carve out good time to celebrate. A wildly expensive night out is planned!

Thanks so much, Robyn!
Check out Interweave Crochet and the Crochet Me book!
Oh, can't wait for the issue to arrive. There are some great drool over patterns plus some yummy, little, more likely to be tackled by me patterns.
Thanks so much, Pauline!

I got the joke, snoop was just trying to be funny here. Lighten up Bill.
I'm not ignorant, Chris. I know a joke when I see one. But all jokes have a basis in reality, and tell me that these aren't pretty close to the actual reasons he's using to vote. Better yet, tell me why he doesn't use some of his fame and fortune to promote voting for proper candidates for good reasons. Sometimes a joke isn't funny, it's just racist and idiotic.
Bill Seitters it just seems to me somtimes people just come off all hollier then thou trying to take somthing light hearted as his reasons to not vote for Romney and turn into the ignorance of the world today. I personaly found it funny cause i get it, its a refereshing change to find some jokes about Mitt other then stating the obvious about putting a dog on the roof or him singling out the 47 percent or his recent war on PBS. i am sorry i dont like either canidate, but i feer more impending doom if Romney wins compared to obama, i see it as Bush 2.0, but its the rich verson. Romney is the voice of the 1% that will NOT create jobs, the 1% that makes more money then what you and i would make in a lifetime combined. so yes i found snoop's comments refereshingly funny, we all need to laugh in a world where we will loose the lower class all together and the homeless will line the street if romney wins.
Bush 2.0, lol. That's a good one. I can't stand either candidate. Romney wants to force trickle down economics increased warfare against the lower class, and support for the "job creators". I supported Obama in '08, because I bought into the hype that was his campaign. Then he became president, and the whole world realized he was a much better speaker than a leader. TARP was unwanted by so many Americans, they actually shut down the D.C. phone system, calling and demanding that he not push it through. The next week he did. He said he was going to fix health care, and all that came about was, for the first time ever, a federal law that requires citizens to purchase a product from a private company. He said he was going to end the wars, there are still thousands of troops in areas of the world where we simply do not belong. I loved the idea of Obama being this great leader, and I assumed that because he is the first black president, he would have to do something amazing. He hasn't. He isn't. He most likely won't.
well i am in medical school, going for a medical billing and coding insurance specialist. one thing we had to learn was the new healthcare that obama passed. Yes its the 1st tme ever the goverment had to " force" the regular joe and jane to pay for any type of medical from a private company. There is a thresh hold of funds you have to make per year and dont have any insurance is when that mandate is forced in. if i remember correctly its around 50000$ yearly with no insurance when your forced into it. otherwise its just presented to the rest of us as just another thing you can get in the same building you get your foodstamp card. but there is soo many things in that bill that i dont really understand why people are so agenst it…
In general, I just don't like being told by the government that I have to do something, and I sure as hell don't like being told by anyone that I have to buy something I'm not going to use. Specifically, I, like a lot of other Americans, am religiously homeopathic. There is no insurance plan that covers holistics and homeopathy. There is a loophole of sorts in Obamacare, aka Romneycare, that says that for religious purposes it's okay. You'll get fined up to $5000 a year, but it's okay. And poverty level is the mandate minimum. The lower class is the target demographic.
You people act like who you elect matters….Now who's the ignorant one…rofl
lolz well played, sir
This is why Obama will most likely win. The average IQ of someone is 100, which means there are plenty of people above that line who have vocabularies, the abilities to add, read and use logical reason to make informed decisions that effect a vast array of topics. Then there are the people under the line, like this, who are not only allowed to publicly advertise their mental diarrhea, they're actually allowed to vote. just a thought.
You're absolutely correct. Real life is too much like the movie Idiocracy. This is a truly scary time to be alive.
Ummm… I think this is a good thing to refer to:
lol… then maybe you can explain this…http://www.duggarfamily.com/
And they are all voting for Romney I bet. :(
Only because Jesus isn't on the ballot. Bet Snoop would clean it up if that were the case lol
And then you remember that Snoop Dogg makes several hundred times more money than you.
Never forgot that. Hell, Kim Kardashian makes hundreds times more than I do… doesn't mean people should listen to that friggin' idiot either
Just saying, criticize all you want, but they're more successful than you and I by several orders of magnitude.
So, the only measure of success is financial stability? The bourgeoise can rule over everyone because they own more property? Just because he's rich, doesn't make him smart. Just because he does more in the entertainment world, doesn't mean I don't do more in, let's say education, or military, or medicine, or in the same business for that matter. The point I was making was, this is a man who, for lack of any sensible reason, sways opinions. And he's jokingly making fun of the fact that the only reason he's voting for someone is based on the color of their skin. If I were rich and white, wrote this note, entitled it 'Why I'm Voting for Romney'… I'd get death threats. He gets 'likes', opinions, people saying it's all in good fun and it's okay because he's rich, and apparently he knows more than we do, right?
No being rich doesn't make him smart, what makes him smart is getting there. Is he smarter than you or me? Maybe, maybe not (probably not), but he's smart enough to get rich, and I wouldn't mind doing that as well (I'm sure you wouldn't kick or scream much either).
The only opinions Snoop Dogg sways are those of people that take advice from people called "Snoop Dogg," so I don't think we need to worry about Snoop Dogg's opinion on the presidential race too much.
And we are all aware of the differential attitude toward white and black people engaging in racial commentary, so no point in complaining–it is what it is.

See It Now is an American newsmagazine and documentary series broadcast by CBS from 1951 to 1958. It was created by Edward R. Murrow and Fred W. Friendly, Murrow being the host of the show. From 1952 to 1957, See It Now won four Emmy Awards[1][2] and was nominated three other times. It also won a 1952 Peabody Award, which cited its
- simple, lucid, intelligent analysis of top news stories of the week on television … a strikingly effective format for presenting news and the personalities involved in the news with humor, sometimes with indignation, always with careful thought.
The show was an adaptation of radio's Hear It Now, also produced by Murrow and Friendly. Its first episode, on November 18, 1951, opened with the first live simultaneous coast-to-coast TV transmission from both the East Coast (the Brooklyn Bridge and New York Harbor) and the West Coast (the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge and San Francisco Bay), as reporters on both sides of the North American continent gave live reports to Murrow, who was sitting in the control room on CBS' Studio 41 with director Don Hewitt.
One of the most popular of the See It Now reports was a 1952 broadcast entitled "Christmas in Korea", when Murrow spoke with American soldiers assigned to the United Nations combat forces.
See It Now focused on a number of controversial issues in the 1950s, but it is best remembered as the show that criticized the Red Scare and contributed to the political downfall of Senator Joseph McCarthy.
Murrow produced a number of episodes of the show that dealt with the Communist witch-hunt hysteria (one of the more notable episodes resulted in a U.S. military officer, Milo Radulovich, being acquitted, after being charged with supporting Communism), before embarking on a broadcast on March 9, 1954[3] that has been referred to as television's finest hour.
By using mostly recordings of McCarthy himself in action interrogating witnesses and making speeches, Murrow and Friendly displayed what they felt was the key danger to the democracy: not suspected Communists, but McCarthy's actions themselves. As Murrow said in his tailpiece:
No one familiar with the history of his country can deny that Congressional committees are useful. It is necessary to investigate before legislating. But the line between investigating and persecuting is a very fine one, and the junior senator from Wisconsin has stepped over it repeatedly.
The broadcast provoked tens of thousands of letters, telegrams and phone calls to CBS headquarters, running 15 to 1 in favor of Murrow. Friendly later recalled how truck drivers pulled up alongside Murrow and shouted, "Good show, Ed. Good show, Ed."
The show's probe of the McCarthy-led anti-Communist era is the focus of the 2005 film Good Night, and Good Luck.
Murrow's hard-hitting approach to the news eventually cost him influence in the world of television, although his celebrity talk show Person to Person remained a top-rated program with much better numbers than See It Now ever had. See It Now occasionally scored high ratings (usually when it was approaching a particularly controversial subject), but in general it did not score well on prime-time television.
When the quiz show phenomenon began and took the world of TV by storm in the mid-1950s, Murrow realized the days of See It Now as a Tuesday-night fixture on CBS were numbered. The weekly version of See It Now ended in 1955 (after Alcoa pulled out its sponsorship), but the show remained as a series of occasional TV special news reports that defined documentary news coverage.
During the years See It Now was an occasional series of specials [mostly appearing on Sunday afternoons at 5:00pm(et) by 1957], Murrow became upset by the network repeatedly granting (without consulting Murrow) equal time to subjects who felt wronged by the program. After CBS granted another such request—regarding a See It Now show on whether or not Alaska and Hawaii deserved statehood—Murrow complained to CBS head William S. Paley he could not continue doing the program if CBS continued to accede to such equal-time requests under those circumstances.
Eventually, according to co-producer Friendly, Murrow and Paley had a blazing showdown in Paley's office. The CBS chairman told Murrow that he was tired of the constant "stomach aches" the program caused when it covered controversial subjects. That marked the beginning of the end of See It Now, the last episode of which aired on July 7, 1958.
The show lives on in its spiritual successors, such as the CBS News broadcasts Sunday Morning, 60 Minutes (created by Hewitt and once also featuring former See It Now producers Palmer Williams and Joe Wershba) and the recurring documentary series CBS Reports.
In September 2006, "See It Now" became the slogan for a relaunched CBS Evening News with new anchor Katie Couric.[4]

Emery uses fast-break offense and experience edge in 29-point win
It may have been two days after Christmas, but the Emery High Spartans waited a little longer to give the Carbon High Dinos a gift.
That gift turned out to a be a gut punch during a 66-37 loss in the first of the two games between the rivals.
Emery wasted little time as they grabbed an early lead thanks to a number of fast-break opportunities on steals of Carbon High passes on the offensive end.
Emery took a 35-16 lead into halftime and never looked back throughout the second half.
Emery outscored Carbon 15-6 in the third quarter. Carbon was finally able to string together a few baskets in the fourth quarter but it came too late.
Cole Fossat led the Dinos with 8 points, including two 3-pointers in the game. The Dinos saw 11 different players score in the game with their point totals ranging from eight points to one point each.
Emery (7-2) had three players finish in double digits in scoring, led by Dillon Willstead's game-high 17 points. Bailey Faimalo added 14 points and 12 assists.
Carbon (1-10) will look to turn things around as they will host South Sevier on Dec. 3 at 7 p.m. The Dinos will travel to Emery on Jan. 8 before they open Region 12 play on the road at North Sanpete on Jan. 15.

Millions watched in horror as the second airliner slammed into the World Trade Center in New York. Fire, broken glass, and broken bodies rained down on the streets of our nation's most influential city. And then the buildings came down.
The cameras cut to the Pentagon, the very nerve center of our armed forces. There too, an evil agent of holy jihad had driven an airplane full of innocent people into the building. Fire, smoke, and chaos ruled. People were leading other people away from the carnage, stunned, bleeding, and burned, with clothing in tatters and eyes that had seen the devil. Then came news that another plane load of civilian passengers had hit the ground in Pennsylvania at over 500 miles per hour. Our nation was at war.
Who were those men without hearts and souls who could do such a thing? Who could be so consumed with hate? Who could be so cruel as to cut a young airline stewardess' throat with a box cutter in front of dozens of other people? Who could be so twisted as to fly a hundred innocent people, men women and children, into a building while chanting "God is Great!" Who could be so incredibly stupid as to think God would reward such cruelty with a gift of 73 virgins? Who are these people?
And then, how soon we all forget. It has been five years since that fateful day, and to many Americans, the memory is like that of an old movie, watched and then forgotten. Most of us go about our daily lives as if nothing has happened. Our war with terrorism doesn't affect us much. There is no rationing of consumer goods, no draft for the armed services, no bombs exploding in our cities, no war bonds to buy, no blood drives to contribute to, and no scrap metal collection points. This modern war is so very far away.
And yet, in spite of being far away, the War on Terror is splitting our country into factions. This is a bad thing. To win World War II we had to be united. Jesus and Abraham Lincoln both taught that a house divided cannot stand.
As a country, we can't seem to agree on how, or even why, to fight this war. One side is aggressive and wants to hunt the bad guys down like rabid dogs and shoot them wherever they are (a war of retribution, like World War II). Another side is more cautious, demanding complete judicial justification, the full consensus of the world community, and involvement by the United Nations (a war with rules, like Vietnam).
Still another faction believes that if we are nice to the people who want to kill us, we can appease them with gifts, kind words, and bribes (the Romans tried it with the barbarians - it didn't work for them). A few folks think we should never fight for any reason and should give our entire military budget over to social programs.
The debate is heating up as we approach this fall's elections. Which path to take? Which war to fight? Which philosophy to embrace? Which leader to follow? We have some big decisions to make in the next two months and the next two years before the next presidential election.
But through it all, no matter how it turns out, no matter which path we choose, no matter where we end up as a country, there is a group of men and women among us who deserve our support and our thanks. And that is the men and women of the armed forces and their families who carry the burdens of this war. We owe them a debt we can never repay. They are volunteers, and they represent the very best of what America is.
In spite of our differences in philosophy and political standing, let us never forget to honor those who put their lives on the line for us in Afghanistan and Iraq. Soldiers don't make policy. It is up to you and me to do that through the leaders we elect.
Give it some careful thought over the next eight weeks. Vote for people who reflect your views. Where should we go as a country? How do you think we should answer 9-11? The world is waiting for your answer.

Re: Still holding its own - HF Radio
Your friend sounds like he knows what he is doing, and I'm sure things will work out fine.
I have done some modeling of the radiation patterns of an insulated backstay versus no insulation and just letting the entire rig be the antenna. The difference is actually much less than you would expect, and in my opinion is pretty insignificant.
Of course, if you don't insulate a backstay, then you have to be very careful that the energized portion of the system and the counterpoise are never joined. For example, if you have a keel-stepped mast, and there is a metal-to-metal connection there between the step and the keel itself, you may have a problem. Or if your keel is exposed to bilge water, and your counterpoise is also able to couple to the bilge water, you may have a problem. Then, too, there is the issue of RFI if you are radiating from your entire rig.
Still, if you can work around these sorts of issues...
Re: Still holding its own - HF Radio
I have a friend who has become interested in helping me install HF on my boat. His goal is to use the existing rigging without modifying it except to add feed points. We ran a first experiment last weekend and had good success. We were able to transmit and receive at a preplanned distance of 200 to 300 miles.
His plan was to use the lifelines as a make-shift counterpoise. He fed the backstay in hopes of getting a loop antenna out through the backstay and forestay in the future. For this round, the loop was not complete as the antenna feed was at the base of the backstay with lifelines used as the counterpoise. All of this was set up with alligator clips and a bit of wire (very kludged up). On the first try we were talking with his friend about 220 miles away in Cedar Rapids, IA. While they were talking, a person from Minneapolis (320 miles from our location) joined in. Everybody was clearly heard. This was so much fun. Really cool stuff.
For those who care, we were using 40 meters (7.0 to 7.3 MHz). Also, the plan was to talk with Cedar Rapids (from Waukegan, IL). The band was chosen for this purpose. We didn't try longer distances....yet.
His goal is to be able to use as much of the HF band as possible by adding feed points....no added counterpoise, no copper sheeting on the hull, no modifying the rig, etc. I have a lot of confidence in his ability. We will see how it progresses from here.

While I haven't tested them against each other I'd bet dollars to donuts that the KISS counterpoise will work better on a narrow band of frequencies, while the copper strap, bonded to sea water will give better performance throughout the band, and a more evenly distributed antenna pattern.
Both the backstay and the counterpoise will work well on their natural frequencies. If you can choose those by selecting the appropriate lengths, you might have fantastic performance but not everywhere. I don't know what they use for the counterpoise, a larger diameter wire will a give broader bandwidth.
However, if you are like me, a HAM, and an electrical engineer that specialized in antennas, you will choose the copper strapping. Seawater is a great ground plane. I signed in to the century net on 80 meters one night at Block Island and being maritime mobile in a small state everyone on the net wanted to talk to me. I was talking to California, the Virgin Islands, Florida and every place in between. Copper strap works great.
By the way, I see no reason why bonding both of these together would not perform better than either.
I recently purchased a used M802 on eBay, and its antenna tuner, that was pulled from a Sport Fisher, and damaged in the process. I replaced a few damaged components and it is ready to go. I just need to put up an antenna for it.
From what I've seen so far, it won't replace my Ham rig. I do like the 150 watts of power. My Ham rig is 100 watts and the extra 50 watts makes a big difference. I am testing it out at home before moving it onto the boat.
I'd advise anyone who purchases a SSB radio to spend a lot of time using it, playing with it, and learning every function and capability of the radio so that it is second nature.
Using it on the Ham bands is a good way to do that. The 40 meter band is nice for daytime use, but at night the band goes long and these frequencies are European commercial broadcast stations that boom in at night. So everyone moves to 80 meters--the popular nighttime band for hams. Both are on Lower Side Band (LSB). These bands provide great regional coverage albeit they tend to be a bit noisy as lighting and other natural phenomena cause interference. By the way, convention is that LSB is used below 10 MHz and USB is used above 10 MHz.
If you don't have your Ham license, you should get it. Hams spend a lot of time on the radio talking about antennas and radio, so you can ask and get lots of free advice. Hams will track you as you travel on the ocean and can be used to alert authorities if you don't check in. Get your ticket! It only cost about $6.20 and is good for ten years! What a deal! And high seas email is free on the Ham bands.
FYI. Any Ham's that want to use the M802 on the Ham bands, I found this link. It looks pretty easy, and you don't have to cut any traces or remove any diodes inside the radio, it is all done with software.

Re: Still holding its own - HF Radio
I chatted with the maker of the KISS, and found him to be very helpful. You can tell from the way he runs his company, that he really believes in his product and was very responsive to questions.
My question to him was similar to SimonV's question. The response I got back was you only have to hook up the KISS to the tuner, and don't need to run foil between the transceiver and tuner, or connect anything by foil to any ground. As the manufacturer of the KISS pointed out, on the ICOM M802 the tuner and the transceiver are already connected via the control cable and there is no reason to ground everything using foil. I was a skeptic, but gave it a try and it did work. And very well at that.
Re: Still holding its own - HF Radio
I would second what HelloSailor suggested. I met the designer of the Kiss system and talked with him for quite a while at the Seattle boat show. I bet he'd be happy to answer your questions.
Re: Still holding its own - HF Radio
Hello Simon
As I understand it and as I've done with my boat, you only connect the KISS to the tuner ground and NOT to the ground plane you may have already. The KISS is stand alone here to form the counterpoise with no interconnection to anything else.
However, the transceiver chassis must be connected to a thru hull etc for a ground. I've cnnected the chassis via a 3" wide copper to a thru hull. The ground between my tuner and transceiver is not connected.
My system works great!
Re: Still holding its own - HF Radio
Simon, the whole purpose of a counterpoise device (the KISS) is to replace grounding and make it unnecessary. More is not necessarily better. If the instructions it came with were unclear, I would suggest contacting the company directly to ask them if they think it should be used alone, or with other grounding connections.
Re: Still holding its own - HF Radio
I think the whole point of the Kiss is that you don't have to ground it to anything. If you do, I'm not sure it would be better or worse.
Any way you can test it both ways? Transmit and see if the Martians respond with KISS and see if the beings from Jupiter respond when the KISS itself it grounded?
Re: Still holding its own - HF Radio
I have all the parts and was about to re commission the Hf (Icom 802). BUT as the kiss-ssb is a sealed unit and is attached to the ground point on the auto tuner (icom AT-140) How or do I still need to ground the unit to a boats ground? Both the tuner ground and the transceiver ground are grounded to each other via a wire and would normally be grounded via copper foil fixed to The though hulls. As the kiss-ssb is not technically/physically grounded, should I run a grounding wire to say the rudder stock. Will this counter the KISS-SSB.
Re: Still holding its own - HF Radio
I have done the research the best I could, and given the best price I could find for copper foil to replacing my old green and brittle counterpoise (ground) is $155. The Kiss-ssb seems to win price wise, and given that no one has stated it wont/does not work, and a lot of folks who have and use it, say it works great for them. I have ordered it and it will be in Brisbane when I get there from my travels. How it works I still don't know, Hey the bumble bee shouldn't fly but it does. I will let you know how it goes.

California's Hydrogen Transportation Initiatives
This page last reviewed September 18, 2015
As zero emission vehicles (ZEVs), hydrogen fuel cells play a significant role in reducing California's greenhouse gas and smog emissions. The California Air Resources Board's most recent Advanced Clean Cars Program builds upon the ZEV Regulation in place since 1990, and rapidly increases numbers of ZEV technologies, such as hydrogen fuel cell and battery electric vehicles. By mid-century, 87% of cars on the road will need to be full ZEVs. This will place California on a path to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2050, a goal adopted by many nations and believed necessary to stabilize climate temperature.
