|Very nice, tough, crease-resistant material. I've never seen a poster like this before. The printing is pixel-perfect. You'll want to frame these, though, since getting one to stay unrolled hanging on a wall by itself seems unlikely, but that's the price you pay for a poster that will last for years and not get wrecked the first time you try to move it.

Today's NFC Championship game between Green Bay and Chicago pits two great rivals and many of the NFL's best players against each other. Although some were all-world recruits coming out of high school, most were not. Just listen to the players when they announce their alma maters, mixed in with the USC's and Florida's are Abilene Christian and a few directional schools.
B.J. Raji was a two-star, 6-foot-2, 295 pound defensive tackle from Washington Township (NJ) in the class of 2004. His only other offers were from Rutgers and Wisconsin and he selected Boston College shortly after his official visit there. An anchor for the Eagles defense, he was a third-team AP All-American and first-team All-ACC pick his senior year. The Packers selected him ninth overall in the 2009 NFL Draft.
Packers starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers was jealous of Raji's offer list. After having zero Division I offers out of high school in Oroville, CA, Rodgers went to Butte Junior College. Cal coach Jeff Tedford noticed Rodgers while recruiting a tight end at Butte and eventually turned him into one of the most productive quarterbacks in Cal history. After some thought he could be the overall number one pick in 2005, he slid to Green Bay with the 24th overall pick and the rest is (fairly recent) history.
Despite having a famous last name, Clay Matthews was an unranked linebacker in the class of 2004 coming out of high school. He walked-on at USC and used the weight room to transform himself. He eventually received a scholarship in 2006 and was part of a fearsome front seven at USC in 2009 that was one of the best defenses in college football. The Packers grabbed Matthews with the 26th pick in 2009 and he will likely end up as the NFL's defensive player of the year.
Similar stories are abound on the Bears as well. Brian Urlacher was actually a wide receiver coming out of high school and only held offers from New Mexico and New Mexico State. After heading to New Mexico, head coach Dennis Franchione flipped Urlacher to linebacker and he eventually led the nation in tackles his junior year. Selected ninth overall in 2000, the seven time Pro-Bowler has been a mainstay on the Bears and one of the most recognizable defenders in the league.
Unlike the aforementioned players, Julius Peppers might be the player with the most hype coming out of high school and college. A Parade All-American coming out of South Nash Senior High (NC), Peppers went on to finish second on the all-time sacks list at North Carolina and won the Bednarik and Lombardi Awards. The second overall pick in 2002, Peppers was the NFL's Defensive Rookie of the Year and hasn't looked back since.
Numerous other players took off-the-beaten paths to get to the NFC Championship game though. Bears running back Matt Forte was a two-star back who went to Tulane. Starting tackle J'Marcus Webb was a top recruit from the Dallas-area who signed with Texas. He eventually transferred to a junior college before finishing up at West Texas A&M. Devin Hester was a five-star corner who took his talents to 'The U' and had great success there. The Packers A.J. Hawk was a three-star linebacker from Centerville (OH) who eventually became one of the best Ohio State linebackers in recent memory and a first round pick.
As many of these players will tell you, it's not about where you start, it is how hard you work and how you finish. A win today and another in a few weeks and any star ratings they may have had in high school will just look funny while they're holding up the Lombardi Trophy.

While the Xbox One had a stellar display at E3 2014, it was the announcement right after that that got us interested. Xbox India head Anshu Mor finally revealed the pricing and availability of the Xbox One for India.
This is of little consequence if retailers aren't taking pre-orders, but that has changed with Game4u announcing its pre-order offers for the Xbox One. Simply plop down INR 3000 (approx. $50) and you're guaranteed an Xbox One at launch.
The Xbox One standalone console is priced at INR 39,990 (around $664) and Xbox One with Kinect is priced at INR 45,990 (approx. $763). The Xbox One launch date in India is set for 23rd September 2014.
(See:E3 2014: Xbox One launches in Hong Kong, India, Singapore, and Taiwan on September 23, 2014)
So far, no other retailer in the country has announced pre-orders for Microsoft's new console, making Game4u your only choice if you want to be prepped for Forza Horizon 2 and whatever else is coming to the console this year. This is a massive contrast to the time leading up to the Playstation 4 launch, wherein every retailer and their grandmother were touting pre-orders for Sony's new fangled rhombus.
Hopefully this will change closer to launch, what with competing retailer, Landmark, announcing pre-orders shortly. Right now, however, there's just one option.

MARTINS, M.E; ZINOLA, C.F y ARVIA, A.J. Voltammetric response of hydrogen adsorbates on platinum in acid solutions: a possible H-adatom subsurface state. J. Braz. Chem. Soc. [online]. 1997, vol.8, n.4, pp. 363-370. ISSN 0103-5053. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0103-50531997000400008.
Combined potential routines involving voltammetric sweeps and potential holdings covering the H-adatom potential range were applied to Pt electrodes in different aqueous acid solutions to produce an enhancement of the "third" H-atom electrodesorption current peak at ca. 0.22 V vs. RHE. This peak can be observed for Pt electrodes of different topographies. Seemingly, the corresponding cathodic current contribution appears in a potential range slightly more positive than the hydrogen evolution reaction threshold potential. The peak potential difference related to the conjugated redox reactions is consistent with an appreciable irreversibility of the process. The small charge involved in this pair of peaks is expected from a subsurface and an interstitial H-adatom state on Pt. This type of structure has been predicted from quantum chemistry calculations.
Palabras clave : platinum electrodes; hydrogen evolution; H-adatoms; third H-adatom current peak.

RENO - Nevada's seventeen sheriffs are coming together supporting the right to bear arms, but agree at least one law needs to be amended.
Every Nevada sheriff signed the letter, which was sent to constituents, as well as the media.
The letter states the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, also known as HIPAA, needs to be amended so health care providers can release mental health information to the national database for background checks.
The letter goes so far as to say HIPAA needs to be changed so it's allowed, or even mandated, that the mentally ill be identified on the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) database.
The sheriffs add they don't want to make criminals out of otherwise law abiding citizens. And they admit, there's no easy fix to the gun debate going on right now.

PHOENIX (AP) -- A psychological report released Thursday warned that while Jared Lee Loughner was competent to plead guilty in the Tucson mass shooting, he remained severely mentally ill and his mental condition could deteriorate under the stress of a trial.
The report was prepared in late April by a federal Bureau of Prisons psychologist who testified in court Tuesday before a judge allowed Loughner to plead guilty in the January 2011 mass shooting.
Psychologist Christina Pietz's report said Loughner's condition could "wax and wane." It also said the court should act quickly because there was no guarantee that Loughner would remain competent for an extended time.
Loughner is to be sentenced in November in the mass shooting that left six people dead and former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and 12 others wounded.

Sir Martin Rees is the Astronomer Royal and perhaps the most influential living cosmologist. Which makes his latest book, Our Final Hour, A Scientist's Warning: How Terror, Error and Environmental Disaster Threaten Humankind's Future in this Century - On Earth and Beyond, not only credible and deeply disturbing, but an essential tool for understanding the most profound choices we are now required to make.
One the one hand, Rees is a humane man and essentially optimistic about humanity's potential, quoting H.G. Wells that "All of the past is but the beginning of a beginning; all that the human mind has accomplished is but the dream before the awakening."
One the other hand, Rees is alarmed at the many threats that could end civilization, if not all human life. Some are familiar: climate change triggering massive weather shifts (like meltwater from the Greenland ice sheet shutting down the Gulf Stream and sending Europe into a new ice age); our "sixth extinction" of species reaching a point where ecosystems unravel in cascades of failure; new plagues being unleashed through terror or scientific error. Others are less well-known: that a comet or asteroid could destroy the planet, that nanotechnology research could go awry, or that certain kinds of subatomic scientifc experiments have the potential to inadvertently create black holes, "strangelets," or other world-ending phenomena.
These are what I call the "game over" scenarios: outcomes which are so bad that the human future is extinguished. They are not cheerful reading.
Rees deserves attention, however, for one primary reason: he is not an ideologue. Though a scientist himself, he is not convinced that scientific exploration is a right, or that research or technological development should trump all other concerns. At the same time, he is well aware of both the ways in which our society is dependent on scientific progress and the difficulty of reining in research and the diffusion of powerful tools. He offers no simple answers.
How, for example, do we deal with the proliferation of technological tools which are essential to contemporary research, but can also be used to create powerful weapons?
"We are entering an era," Rees writes, "when a single person can, by one clandestine act, cause millions of deaths.... Indeed, disaster could be caused by someone who is merely incompetent rather than malign."
"I staked one thousand dollars on a bet: 'That by the year 2020 an instance of bioerror or bioterror will have killed a million people.' Of course, I fervently hope to lose this bet. But I honestly expect not to."
The problem is that the tools which could kill that million people are also the same tools used to design new medicines, explore the origins of life, fight epidemic disease, even to teach high school students biology. It doesn't take a super-villain with a secret mountain lair stocked full of cutting-edge lab equipment to produce a virus that could make things go terribly poorly for a lot of people. It takes a retail catalog and a master's degree, as was proved by several incidences of students hacking together viruses like mousepox and monkeypox out of mail-order DNA. They weren't making weapons, but making a point: don't hack genes at home, kids (but you could).
Things are already clearly out-of-control, and biological knowledge is roughly doubling every year (and with it the potential consequences of terror or error). What to do?
Rees himself is not sure. Do we install an Orwellian surveillance regime over anyone who might have access to these tools. Or do we rely on new laws banning dangerous materials and experiments and rely on a culture of openness and responsibility to enforce them? (Bill Joy, in his seminal essay "Why the future doesn't need us" argued for relinquishing the technologies that threaten us, consciously stepping back from the abyss and making due with older, safer technologies. Bruce Sterling argues a different approach in his essential "Old Genies in New Bottles" (part two here, both PDF) - that we ought to establish a global regulatory body for science, controlling all funding and guiding all research into safe and benevolent pathways. In this approach, private funding for research would be illegal and unacceptable science would wither on the vine, as "Purse strings make the best garrotes.")
Rees does us the honor of raising questions to which he doesn't have a ready answer. But he goes further, into considering implications and trade-offs, into contemplating the futures we may choose, including, finally, the ultimate choice, between wisdom and extinction:
"Humanity is more at risk than at any earlier phase in its history. The wider cosmos has a potential future that could even be infinite. Will those vast expanses of time be filled with life, or as empty as Earth's first sterile oceans? The choice may depend on us, this century."

Though forever changed, Flight 93 families move on
Each time Deborah Borza boards an airplane, she counts out the first 40 people in their seats.
"I can really see how, in an instant, 40 people can become related or how, in an instant, 40 people can see how they are already related," said Borza, whose daughter, Deora Bodley, was one of the 40 passengers and crew members killed aboard United Airlines Flight 93 on Sept. 11, 2001. "They all took their strength and their fortitude, and they played their part."
For Borza and others whose loved ones perished in the terrorist attacks, the past 10 years have been filled with heartache and sorrow, but determination to move forward.
They found their lives going in directions they didn't foresee, and they forged unexpected relationships.
"My life is now dedicated to the causes that my son's life and death made very clear to me," said Alice Hoagland, whose son, Mark Bingham, died aboard Flight 93, which crashed in a field near Shanksville in Somerset County. Hoagland advocates for causes that include aviation security and gay rights, because her son was gay.
To bring meaning to their loss, family and friends started charitable foundations. They organized 5K walks and motorcycle rides. They've worked build memorials to keep alive the memories of their loved ones and tell the story of what happened.
Sandra Felt, whose husband, Edward, was a Flight 93 passenger, said visits to the temporary memorial in Shanksville initially disturbed her. She wanted to grieve, but strangers asked questions about him and what happened.
She realized her loss was a shared national experience. She became part of the jury process that decided on a design for the Flight 93 National Memorial.
"I wanted Ed to have a voice," she said. "The only way for him to have a voice is for me to speak up. I didn't want this to be a field where people could scrounge around with metal detectors looking for pieces of scrap."
People ask Pat Waugh why she goes to Shanksville, where her daughter, United flight attendant Sandy Waugh Bradshaw, perished.
"It is hard, but I am drawn there," she said.
Others avoid public ceremonies and mourn in their own ways.
Flight 93 passenger Jeremy Glick's family marks anniversaries with a day together, though they plan to attend the 10th anniversary ceremony in Shanksville.
Glick's widow, Lyz Glick Best, married Jim Best, the best man at her wedding to Jeremy. That bond helped Lyz as her daughter, Emerson, got older. Emmy was 3 months old when her father died. "(Jim) has a very long history with Jeremy, too, so it's very natural when questions come up," she said.
Alan Beaven's family went to Shanksville once, in the days following the crash.
"Our dad, being very much in the moment and looking ahead, would almost disapprove of us holding on so strongly," his son, John Beaven, said. "I think that's the advice he would give from up high."
Faith got some families through.
"Todd was a Christian ... so we know that his soul is OK," said David Beamer, father of Flight 93 passenger Todd Beamer. "And we're people of faith, and that's what's really enabled all of us to really carry on."
Flight 93 passenger Colleen Fraser wore a turquoise and silver ring she bought in Arizona, but she left it behind on her dresser that day.
"It's like she left it for me," said her sister, Christine Fraser, who wears the ring.
Family has become more important than ever.
Alicia Cohen's mother, Flight 93 passenger Patricia Cushing, hosted family gatherings. Her children keep up traditions she held dear. They get together for holidays and birthdays. They talk regularly and know each other's joys and sorrows.
"I always think to myself she would be very proud of us, because she was the one that always kept us all together," Cohen said.

One of the most enduring investment strategies for 'deep value' investors was defined by Ben Graham way back in (at least) the 1940′s. The approach was to buy shares in companies where the market cap was less than the value of the company's current assets minus all of its liabilities.
This was a simplified rule-of-thumb guesstimate of liquidation value. The assumption was that any haircut taken on current assets (like inventory) in an orderly liquidation would be more than offset, on average, by returns from the sale of fixed assets like property and equipment.
So why would anyone want to invest based on a guess of the liquidation value of a company? Graham cited three key reasons:
- Earnings power would rise in the future to the point where investors would value the company at a higher level. Graham conjectured that this might occur because such a poor industry may see other firms exiting first, leaving more customers for those who can stick it out or; management find a way to generate sufficient earnings by dropping underperforming products, becoming more efficient or some other means.
- A sale or merger in which the buyer would likely pay at least liquidation value.
- The company is liquidated, fully or partially, and shareholders gain from the value released by selling off the company's assets.
There have been many studies into these net-net stocks and as far as I know, they have all shown a high degree of outperformance, in the medium and long term.
But it isn't an easy strategy to follow.
As I mentioned before in Merry Christmas 2011, I abandoned my own portfolio of low price to books stocks because I found it difficult to hold a large portion of my pension in a group of weak and economically underperforming companies. Another problem is the tiny pool of stocks that fit the investment criteria. It's highly uncommon for any company other than a house builder to have enough current assets to pay off all current and non-current liabilities. At the moment my net-net screen shows only 16 companies listed on the main FTSE indices (i.e. not the Alternative Investment Market, which typically can't be held in an ISA) which are valued at less than their net-net value, and only 6 companies that are valued below 2/3rds of their net-net value, which was the most that Graham would pay.
When Graham's investment company used net-nets as their main strategy for some 20 years or so, he typically held over 100 positions. The reason for this high degree of diversification was the inherent uncertainty in any given net-net stock. By being so diversified the volatility and returns of the overall portfolio were more acceptable to his clients.
So to reduce volatility to a level that could be lived with by most people Graham invested in over 100 companies at a time, but that's going to be very difficult if there are only 6 available to select from.
Another problem with net-net stocks is the bid/ask spread. Because many of these companies are small and unloved, they don't attract much trading on the stock market. This means that the difference between the bid and the ask price can be 10% or more. That may not sound like much but if the average holding period is one year then a stock with a 10% spread needs to gain 10% just to break even. Seeing as 10% is the about average return from the stock market over time (including dividends) that's a big handicap to carry.
Still, I have an enduring fascination with simple mechanical strategies and net-nets are one of the simplest and one of the best. I think that with a few tweaks the strategy could be usable for those who are interested, without having to hold only a handful of these highly volatile and often miserable stocks.
Buy liquid, unlevered companies
The first point to note is that there isn't anything magic about having enough current assets to cover all liabilities. The real point is that companies that do have that balance sheet structure are typically highly liquid (quick ratio over 1) with little leverage and very often have net cash. The reason that good liquidity and low leverage are important is that it helps the company to survive whatever problems are currently causing the share price to be so low. Turnarounds are a lot easier if the company has lots of cash and little debt.
Not only that, but in The Price To Book Effect In Stock Returns: Accounting For Leverage, Stephen Penman found that in some cases lower leverage leads to higher returns.
Buy low price to book companies
The second point is that net-nets are trading well below book value and even tangible book value. Low price to book stocks are the standard academic definition of 'value' stocks and they have a history of outperformance in the long term.
Hold lots of companies for long periods
Another point of note is that several studies have looked at returns of net-nets and low price to book stocks and found that they outperform the market, on average, for years after they are selected. For example, in Testing Benjamin Graham's Net Current Asset Value Strategy in London, Ying Xiao and Glen Arnold show that net-nets beat the market by up to 19.7% a year, over 5 holding years. In Tweedy, Browne's What Has Worked In Investing, various studies show excess returns over 3 and 4 years.
By holding an investment for a longer period the average returns from each position are larger, which can help mitigate some of the negative effects of wide spreads.
So one possible interpretation of net-nets for the 21st century would focus on low price to book, highly liquid, low leverage companies, holding quite a large number of positions for multiple years.
I like to keep things simple so I came up with this list:
Net cash
Only invest in stocks that are net cash, i.e. they have enough assets that they can turn into cash within a 'short' period of time to cover all borrowings. This is a measure of leverage, but it is also a reasonable indicator of liquidity. If you look at companies that are net cash they tend to have quick ratios close to and usually over 1.
Low price to book
Very simple this one. Low price to book stocks have a history of outperformance. Net-nets are low price to book stocks so that's what I'm after. Sort the universe of stocks by price to book at start with the lowest.
Price to sales ratio of less than 1
This is the only point where I really digress from the net-net spirit. At these levels you can pick up some funny companies, like pharmaceutical firms that don't actually sell anything or just make losses every year… or house builders that aren't doing anything or other firms that are in hibernation mode or other companies that are so inefficient they cannot even generate a fraction of their book value in sales. I want the companies in the portfolio to be actual trading companies so a price to sales ratio of less than 1 is a simple rule of thumb to make sure that the company is actually doing something.
Hold 60 companies, equally balanced, for 5 years each
60 companies should give the investor enough distance from each individual company so that any horror stories (or even success stories) that emerge shouldn't over excite or over depress. A detached alertness is what is required and this many positions should help.
Holding each stock for 5 years is in line with previous studies and should allow the average to outperform the market while reducing trading costs from the more typical 1 year holding period. For example, in Testing Benjamin Graham's Net Current Asset Value Strategy in London, the average 60-month buy and hold return was 254% which would not be affected to a huge extent by a single 10% trading cost. Compare that to flipping positions every year and even if your investment returns 30% a year it's running uphill against a 10% or even 5% spread each year. The difference over time is enormous.
Flip investments monthly
I like a fixed investment schedule as it helps me to avoid the delusion that I can time the market. By investing on a fixed schedule it also mechanises the optimisation of the portfolio, calmly and gradually over the long term. I'm not saying that any portfolio is optimal, but if you're consistently moving a portfolio towards value then good things are more likely to happen.
So basically I'd buy say French Connection today and hold it until January 2017, at which point I'd sell it regardless of where it was or what happened in between and replace it with another of my 21st century net-nets.
It may sound daft, but in the long term these 'blind watchmaker' strategies seem to have a nasty habit of working.
Over the next 60 weeks I'll be loading a new model portfolio up with these stocks, 1 a week plus a post on each one when possible; followed by a switch to monthly trading once it's fully invested.
For those who love the unloved, this could be interesting.

French Connection has been good to net-net watchers over the last few years. If you got in at under 50p in 2009/10 then there were pretty fast 100% gains on the cards. I actually managed to do quite badly last time (16% gain in about 18 months), getting in during Feb '09 and out in Nov '10, which of course was moments before the explosive 100% gain to well over 100p.

It's true that there are hardly any decent sized net-nets in the market. We count 27 in total but all but a few are sub £10m mCap companies which suffer from the spread issues you mentioned above.

The problem with retailers as 'Net Nets' is usually their accounting period. There is a reason that most retailers have a financial year that ends on 31st January and that's because its the point in the financial year where they have the most cash & the least inventories.

The situation with housebuilders is a perfect illustration of Ben Graham's real teaching: you have to look a little beyond mere numbers and decide whether those numbers are plausible. Stock screeners are a very valuable starting point, but once you've used the screener to identify potential candidates for investment, the real work begins!
If you look at, say, Barratt Developments (LON:BDEV) 's results, the problem becomes apparent. Current assets are dominated by £3.3bn of inventories and current assets less all liabilities are £1.6bn. Those inventories comprise mainly a land bank of £2.2bn and construction work in progress of £1.0bn. Moreover, there is very little fixed asset protection as TANGIBLE fixed assets are only £0.3bn (only tangible assets have any value in a liquidation).
So, if there were, say, a 20% decline in land/construction project values, that would reduce the current assets less all liabilities figure from £1.6bn to less than £1.0bn - roughly equal to the current market cap.
As it happens, that's not too bad a margin of safety (another important Graham concept), so could be worth a closer look... However, the forecast dividend for this year is tiny and I don't foresee housebuilding recovering any time soon (not until house prices correct properly and homes become affordable for ordinary people, assuming realistic interest rates, not the present unsustainably low ones), so maybe one for the watchlist, rather than immediate investment?

That's not striclty true Mark. Granted, Ben Graham invented the profession of Security Analysis (and he wrote the book), but he was also the market's first quant. He generally advocated buying widely diversified portfolios of bargain issues and used a shotgun rather than rifle approach when doing so.
Quoting from the Intelligent Investor...
So I'm not sure you can dispel the pure screening approach to Graham investing quite so easily. And w.r.t. timing in out of favour sectors...

Hi Ed,
I have no doubt that he would consider the reliability of a figure forming a key component of current asset value as essential to computing the margin of safety. Cash, for example is a much sounder number that something with an uncertain value such as building plots.
One of my favourite investments right now is a Hong Kong quoted business, Regent Pacific (HK:0575). It has no debt and most of its assets comprise listed securities and cash. Therefore I can compute an accurate NAV on a daily basis. Unless there is an error in my arithmetic, I can be pretty comfortable that the NAV is reliable. So when I can buy shares in that business at a discount of nearly 50% to NAV (after payment of the usual annual special dividend), that's what I call a true bargain with a massive margin of safety. ;0)

I'm sure he would! But then again if you had a basket of 100 stocks you wanted to buy that were all net nets would you be able to do the due dil on every single one? Graham or one of his analyst team may have, but you'd still have had 'satisfactory' returns if you bought the basket.
For what its worth, I'm not arguing for housebuilders here - more defending the quantitative approach... I don't think the housebuilders are particularly cheap at the moment - certainly on a PE basis they are at a premium to the market which is most undeserved. http://j.mp/xQMvQo

Houston police homicide detectives are working and combing through the evidence left behind inside an apartment where three people were murdered.
Two women and one man were found shot to death execution style and lying on the floor at The Pines of Northwest Crossing.
Investigators were bagging numerous shotgun shells and bullet casings at the scene in the 7400 block of Hillmont.
Sergeant Christopher Hassig with the Houston Police Department said the crime scene looked like it had been ransacked by the killers who may have driven off in a silver vehicle.
Eyewitnesses at the apartment complex reported hearing a barrage of gunfire and then seeing three black men running from the apartment in question.
Witnesses told police they believed the apartment was used as a location for prostitution.
Investigators are now searching for any information on the wanted men.
Anyone with any information on this shooting is asked to call the Houston Police Department 713-308-3600 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
Names of the victims has not yet been released by authorities.

Preface by C.H. Spurgeon
In 1855 a reprinting of the Baptist Confession was issued by C. H. Spurgeon, primarily for the members of his own congregation. Spurgeon's words of introduction perfectly express the great value of this magnificent statement of doctrine.
This ancient document is a most excellent epitome of the things most surely believed among us. By the preserving hand of the Triune Jehovah we have been kept faithful to the great points of our glorious Gospel, and we feel more resolved perpetually to abide by them.
This little volume is not issued as an authoritative rule, or code of faith, whereby ye are to be fettered, but as an assistance to you in controversy, a confirmation in faith, and a means of edification in righteouenss. Here the younger members of our church will have a body of divinity in small compass, and by means of the scriptural proofs, will be ready to give a reason for the hope that is in them.
Be not ashamed of your faith; remember it is the ancient Gospel of martyrs, confessors, reformers, and saints. Above all, it is the Truth of God against which the gates of hell cannot prevail. Let your lives adorn your faith, let your example recommend your creed. Above all, live in Christ Jesus, and walk in Him, giving credence to no teaching but that which is manifestly approved of Him, and owned by the Holy Spirit. Cleave fast to the Word of God, which is here mapped out to you.
- C. H. Spurgeon

I've never done a halter class before. It's never been my cup of tea but, I'd like to give it my best shot. I found a semi local show and I've spoken with the event coordinator about appropriate dress code and the gist of what will be expected of me. The classes for halter are pretty general they're all open, all ages, mare, stallion, gelding. I also know there will be at least one other draft horse there (clydesdale). I also know that this is a predominately western oriented show however they do allow english dress code for certain events like halter.
I am going to start teaching my filly how to square up she's already pretty good at trotting off on command but, I want to perfect everything. I'm going to be giving her a bath probably the day before and I've gotten her used to the shop vac and have been using it on her which she really likes.
For reference she's a gypsy horse
I've never shown a horse with feather before so I have a few questions... stupid q #1: Do I use hoof polish?... #2 Do I clip a bridle path?... #3 Do I clip her face?... (she has a beard and mustache)... #4 Do I braid fleets?... #5 What type of halter would be appropriate? Could I use a halter like this its the nicest one on hand I have should I try to find something different or for a local show is it alright? (my halter is the tan version) ->
Any other tips, tricks, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

There were 88 videos when I called in to the site and I tested a couple out for you straight away. The library contains some exclusive (as well as non-exclusive) movies so you really will be getting something new when you sign up. Some of these guys have never appeared on a website before, nor in front of a camera let alone in front of one jerking off or having gay sex, but you wouldn't know it from viewing them. The performances were natural and the guys were a turn on. You have a good variation of guys too with the only thing in common being the fact that they are black. Ok, so maybe they all have hung cocks and tight asses too but there are tall guys, bear cubs, slim guys, hairy ones and smooth. There is also a good mix of solo shows and action ones.
The only downside of the site will come if you are on a slow connection speed. But then again, if you don't mind waiting for your videos it won't be a problem. You see you can only download them at the moment. You are provided with a zip file to save to your hard drive and then you'll need to unzip it to find the movie file. When you do get them playing you'll find WMV movies that show at 640 x 480 and run at over 1Mbps - at least that's what I found, I was viewing one of the more recent and exclusive vids.
I also found around 60 photo sets featuring more Brazilian and black guys, more smooth cuties and more hung dudes. Images clicked up to a good size and navigating the galleries was fine with their numbered pages; though I did have to either back button to go back to the gallery index page I had been on or click the 'photos' link in the menu to go back to page one of the list. A minor inconvenience really. The standard of the pics at Thug Vids is as good as the standard of the movie making so I've got no complaints about the main content.
And none about the extras either as you get a whole host of goodies for your membership fee - and the main content, plus the bonus sites, are regularly updated too so once you've joined you won't need to go anywhere else. Your bonus sites are Twinks for Cash and He Likes It Big plus Wild Gay College Parties which all have their own exclusive content and themes. You can enter the Gay Key collection too where you will find many more genres and videos, galleries and sexy guys -though not all black of course. There are stories to be read, quick one minute clips to download if you want to get off in a hurry, a new clip per genre per day on the daily clips page and links to all kinds of interesting chat, live and dating sites. Like I said - you won't need to go anywhere else.
Bottom Line:
Yup! There's a good collection of black guy, hard-core and solo scenes here in easy to download videos and the more recent ones are exclusive to the Gay Key network. A network that also brings you bonus sites, free access to many more vids and pics and loads of excellent extras.

Despite the reviewer's use of the term "exclusive" I doubt that any of the duo videos are original. (The solo videos could well be original; they're unfamiliar, skinny, albeit muscular, (mostly) black guys jacking off.) I recognize many of the duo videos from regular VHS/ DVDs.Reply
Many of the videos were very poor quality. If you play them in anything other than a 2"x3" window, they're so pixelated you're just watching a bunch of flesh-covered blocks moving around.
The "bonus" sites the reviewer touts are no better in quality or novelty than the main site content.
It is very hard to find inter-racial gay sites, but anything this site has along those lines isn't what you'll pay for it.
Stop dicking around and sign-up!

text: Our twin boys have been doing road BikeEd at school. There are kids at school who have turned up to BikeEd on $1000 Kona bikes. The boys would now like these bikes for Christmas. The resultant discussions have been our undoing over Santa. You see their mate received a Mac book last Christmas so apparently Santa has an open cheque book. The conversation went a bit like this … 'You don't have to buy it cos Santa will'. We replied but 'Santa can't afford $1000 per child'. 'But M. got a MAC last year. Unless of course Santa is you.' I'm not good at lying. Since they've worked out the Santa bizzo they've decided to save up for their own, maybe not a Kona, but something they want. They feel all grown up now because they have to keep the Santa saga from little sister. Maybe they could simply find something at bikeExchange.

In the interest of not getting too off topic I'll keep it short. This is why I think Bakuman does so well in ratings -- it markets itself to a different audience.
If you're a mainstream reader, you have so many choices to choose from. Chances are you'll more likely than not choose among the Big Three, so that less votes overall go to the less popular mainstream manga. In other words the battle manga market is crowded and competitive.
Bakuman appeals to a different market entirely, and this being non-mainstream, has fewer competitors. Less of the votes there are divided among competitors, so Bakuman has a large "share" of votes, getting a higher rating.
To tie it back to on-topic discussions, this could be another factor for Bleach's low ranking. It's always had to compete with the other mainstream manga, so now that it's suffered a loss of interest from its main audience, the loss is especially crippling -- because of how competitive its "market" is.

Newt in New Hampshire: Pugilist or Professor?
8:10 AM, Jan 5, 2012 • By MICHAEL WARREN
Laconia, N.H.
This Gingrich uses every opportunity to call Romney a "Massachusetts moderate," which he does in a speech to this crowd in Laconia, in a policy-heavy discussion at St. Anselm College in Goffstown, and in his live interview Wednesday evening with Fox News's Greta van Susteren. The alliterative appellation is the thread in the campaign's new strategy to tie together every conservative unorthodoxy Romney has ever said on abortion, tax policy, and any other issue possible. More than once Gingrich begins a sentence by saying, "Mitt Romney, who is a Massachusetts moderate…"
I ask Gingrich why it has taken so long for him and the other Republican candidates to take on Romney, since he's been perceived as the front-runner for so many months. "He hasn't been the front-runner, except in your mind," Gingrich snaps back. "I've been the front-runner recently. Herman Cain was the front-runner before me."
A few hours later at St. Anselm College, however, we see a second Gingrich on display, distinct from the no-nonsense, pugnacious Newt everyone expects to see over the next week. This Gingrich is a little more familiar. He's thoughtful and intellectual, even professorial.
At St. Anselm's New Hampshire Institute of Politics, Gingrich has a wonky conversation with Charlie Arlinghouse of the Josiah Bartlett Center for Public Policy, a free-market think tank. A large crowd of over 150 fills the room. A good quarter of the hour-long event is devoted to talking about runaway government spending on entitlement programs like Medicare and Medicaid.
"You currently have a government monopoly [in Medicare]," Gingrich says. "The best, safest way politically to move away from that monopoly is to create the right to choose, but not to force people out of the system."
He praises the Ron Wyden-Paul Ryan Medicare reforms as a better plan than the original plan outlined in the House-passed budget. "I think if you try to force people out of the system, they will get very upset," Gingrich says. "If you give them the right to choose to come out of the system, you might be surprised how many choose [to do so]."
Like many of the topics Gingrich and Arlinghouse are discussing, the question of Medicare's future is an important issue with major long-term implications for the fiscal health of the federal government and the prosperity of the United States over the next generations. But the whole conversation is, frankly, incredibly boring and, for those journalists hoping to hear more fuel for the Romney-Gingrich fire, a bit disappointing. A local reporter sitting to my right scribbles a note for me: "Who's going to ask a question about Iowa???" Some of the residents who came to see a possible future president are shifting in their chairs or looking at their watches. Two young girls sitting next to their father have even stopped pretending to listen and are giggling about something that, I imagine, has nothing to do with supply-side economics or the threat of a nuclear Iran.
Does this signal the return of Professor Gingrich? Perhaps, but it doesn't seem to last very long. Later that evening, he gets his dig in within the first minute on van Susteren's Fox News program: "The most we're going to do is draw a direct and sharp contrast with Governor Romney, who is a Massachusetts moderate."

My cookbooks have been like family to me - there when I need them. Only I don't really need them anymore. When I want a recipe and I want to avoid going through a dozen books or my huge recipe file to find it, I do what everyone else does these days - I Google it and print it out.
That's why I decided in the dreary days of early February to go through my collection and winnow it. It was not without pain, but, like a trip to the dentist, once it's over it doesn't hurt so much anymore.
The first to go were a raft of community cookbooks, many with great recipes and some with untested recipes or with an ingredient ...

I have just posted some photographs I recently took with my auto 110 using Pan-X 125 asa film that I stripped and loaded myself.
These are all untouched and are as scanned.
I still need to modify the negative holder for the plustek OpticFilm 7200 scanner that I use. For a first effort I am pleased with the results, but I'm hoping for better scans when I've improved the scanning.

Three separate dealings, no problems whatsoever...totally pleased...JMO

Three separate dealings, no problems whatsoever...totally pleased...JMO
Fast shipping and great customer service.... my experience ordering about four or five times.
As far as price that is our fault if you don't shop around. I look at all sites, including ebay, amazon, midwayUSA and google searches...... KnifeHog was one site I got from a google search for a Ka-Bar TDI law enforcement waist pack. If I pay more it is my fault.
I found a conceal vest for less than any place, including eBay. The vest (my mistake) was too big, so I sent it back.
They were backordered on that size, but they tracked down vest at another dealer and the delay was very minor, yet
they included a free nylon wallet as a bonus in the order..... THANKS!
PS - Their web site is easy to use and the one time I called (on that vest and ETA) I talked to a very pleasant helpful competent lady, who sounded like she actually liked her job and helping me.
Yes its been over a year ago when I ordered from them and was told it would ship next day well 2 weeks later nothing so I called and I was told not there problem said talk with USPS I did and nothing. I called back got hang up 3 days later got my package and it had been shipped 3 days earlier but wrong holster, called again was told thats what I ordered said no and read confirmation was hung up on turned over to credit card company than got a nasty letter from them so turned product and letter over to credit card company. never heard anymore
They suck! I ordered two holsters through amazon from them. The are 3 hours from my home! Amazon said they were both instock, wrong only one was. The one they had took 2 weeks to be shipped. They ship via smart mail or some crap that takes forever. Them got an email saying the other was 30 days back ordered. I said fine. I wanted 32 days then called. The guy said yeah it's not ready yet could be 4 more weeks. So I substituted it with a different holster. One I liked better, and they shipped it right away. It took another two week, ugh! Opened it up and it was the original one that was back ordered. I will never, NEVER do business with them again. Sorry about the rant!
Terrible company, will never order anything through them again. Tried to buy a red dot from them (through amazon). Sent them an email asking when the item was going to ship (it was already a day after they promised to have it shipped out by), no response for 3 days, then I get an email saying they were back ordered (that's funny.. they said they had 12 in stock) and it would take them half a month before they even had one in stock again. Canceled my order, went to the store, and bought a better sight at the same price.
I have good luck with them for years. In fact I just bought a scope from them last month.:smile:
I've ordered a lot of stuff from optics planet.In fact,i jokingly told a friend of mine,they must throw my stuff on the truck,as soon as i order.I've not once ever had any problems with them.The things i ordered was directly from them,thou.
Now I can speak about OpticPlanet...I wanted a SureFire 500 lumen SD light. OpticPlanet's price saved me $30...I ordered it. Then I read this this thread...I was a bit concerned, but received the light in a week...I had no problems with this ordering experience. Would I order from them again? Certainly...:yup:
I have ordered holsters, gun sights, and clothing from them and never a problem.

Joey Douglass from the LDS Hospital sat down with the hosts today to talk about coping with anxiety. This time of year can be very stressful with kids getting ready to go back to school, the last family vacation for the year is getting planned, or maybe you're starting to think about all the upcoming expenses or deadlines you may have.
Feeling anxious is a normal part of life. Stress and anxiety can happen when the unexpected happens, when someone has something important that they would like to accomplish, or when changes in your life happen like marriage, divorce, new job, or having to appear on the news!
Anxiety is a medical condition affecting 40 million Americans and can severely affect people's daily living. However, it's a very treatable disorder that many people can overcome through proper treatment and awareness.
What are Anxiety Disorders? Anxiety disorder is different from normal every day worries. It's a chronic medical disorder that cause the person severe IRRATIONAL worry, tension, or dread. Without treatment, they can grow to overwhelm all aspects of daily life.
What causes it?
•Brain chemistry. How do we know this? Because symptoms are often treated and relieved by medications that alter the chemicals in the brain.
•Life: Exposure to a traumatic event (such as violence, abuse, and even poverty).
•Genetics: Studies show that anxiety disorders run in the families. In fact identical twins are more likely to share an anxiety disorder than twins who are not identical.
•Learned Behaviors/ thinking: People with low self-esteem and poor coping skills may be more prone to developing anxiety disorders.
How do you treat anxiety?
•Talk to your doctor about treatment options. Usually counseling and/or medications are needed to help. They might not CURE the disorder but it definitely can help treat it, making life much more manageable for you and your family.
•Live healthy! Regular exercise, sleep, and a healthy diet all will tremendously help!
•If you start taking medications for treatment: DON'T STOP without consulting your doctor first! Some medications can be very dangerous to just stop taking all at once. Take your medications EXACTLY as prescribed (ie: if it says only take up to 3 times a day as needed, don't start taking it 4 or 5 times a day; some medications can be habit forming)
Back to School Tips for parents and their children/ teenagers with anxiety:
Myth: "Emotional and behavioral problems normal parts of growing up."
Fact: Like we said earlier everyday stressors and anxiety happens. If they are having problems affecting school, family, and/or socializing don't be too quick to just dismiss it as an "Awkward phase". These don't always mean there is an anxiety disorder, but it does mean you should be paying closer attention to behaviors: If they are severe seek professional help!
Myth: "Anxiety in children and teens are not a big deal. They'll get over it!"
Fact: Some people do recover on their own, but not treating anxiety in some way is a big risk! Research shows that those who have anxiety that is not addressed appropriately have more trouble in school, and miss out on important part of being a kid such as parties and other social events.
Myth: "I should help my child avoid stress as much as possible"
Fact: It's more helpful to SUPPORT your child through stressful situations than to avoid them. Recognize and praise small accomplishments, and don't punish mistakes or lack of progress.

Rare Meiji Period Takatori Utsumi Chaire

Directory: Archives: Regional Art: Asian: Japanese: Pre 1920: Item # 1187134
Meiji Bijutsu
Kawakami 2891-4 Yufuin-cho
Yufu-shi, Oita-ken 879-5102 Japan
tel/fax 0977-75-9174
Guest Book
This remarkable chaire (tea caddy) is part of a series of mostly antique and vintage items that we recovered from the storehouse of a retired construction contractor. His house is located in the southern part of Kyoto, where buildings from the Edo and Meiji periods still stand. His son not being interested in inheriting his father's collection, we were asked to take them out, and we are now able to present them to you.
The chaire dates from the Meiji period (1868-1912). It is a Takatori ware, made at the foot of mount Takatori, in Fukuoka prefecture (ancient Chikuzen province). The first Takatori kiln was established by a Korean potter named Hachizan (Japanese name), who was brought to Japan by the Kuroda clan, which ruled over that part of Kyushu, at the end of the 16th century. Hachizan made potteries for the lords of that domain, who were tea ceremony practitioners. It is also said that Kobori Enshu (1579-1647), a great tea master of the Edo period, favored Takatori pottery.
This particular chaire features the wonderful running colored Takatori glaze. Its low shape makes it an utsumi(inland sea) chaire, although it is much lower than usual. The gebuta (ivory lid), covered in gold underneath, dates from the same period and is also very well made. A sublime vessel for a tea ceremony enthusiast or a collector of rare Japanese artifacts.
Please let us know if you have some questions.
The chaire is signed and in perfect condition.
Kindly read our Sales policy.

North Overlook Beach Open, Volunteers Needed
Posted By News On July 2, 2011 @ 6:29 am In Today's Local News | Comments Disabled
The new high water beach at Red Rock's North Overlook is open just in time for the holiday weekend. Following flooding in 2008, work began on a beach that would be accessible at any lake level.
This is good timing for the opening of the North Overlook beach, as the Whitebreast beach is inaccessible due to flood storage levels.
The Red Rock Lake Association is currently looking for volunteers to help open a new concession stand, which is currently under construction. If you're interested, contact Matt Kissinger at 641-416-0241

New Orleans councilman charged with Katrina fraud
Topics : New Orleans Hurricane Katrina Jon Johnson WBRZ
NEW ORLEANS - A New Orleans city councilman has been charged in federal court with plotting to steal federal funds intended to help a nonprofit group after Hurricane Katrina.
A court filing Wednesday charges Jon Johnson with conspiracy to commit theft of government funds and to submit false documents.
Johnson is accused of diverting money intended for the Ninth Ward Housing Development Corp. for personal use, including expenses for his failed 2007 campaign for a seat in the Louisiana Senate.
The documents say Johnson controlled the finances of the group, which obtained Federal Emergency Management Agency grants for house gutting and mold remediation after the August 2005.
