Video: Bikini clad women sue over cavity search
The women were confused as to why they were stopped and searched - the officer sited that one woman's shorts had been unzipped
BRAZORIA COUNTY, Texas — Two women subjected to body cavity searches on the side of Highway 288 are suing the officers involved.
The entire stop was recorded on dash camera by the state trooper who initially pulled over Brandy Hamilton and Alexandria Randle for speeding. The trooper asks if there is anything illegal in the car after claiming to smell marijuana. The male trooper reportedly found a small amount of marijuana in the vehicle.
The female trooper in this case, Jennie Bui has been fired. The male trooper, Nathaniel Turner has been suspended during an internal investigation. One of the women is still dealing with a marijuana charge. Both have filed a federal lawsuit against the officers involved.

Littlewoods are great until something goes wrong and you have to return something. In my case Littlewoods organized a courier to pick up an item for return which they lost in transit. After countless emails before the pick up and after,each with a reference number which they attach. They still could not locate my first email explaining the problem and could not locate the email which they sent arranging the pick up. So the disappearance of my items was my fault.
Im a good customer paying regularly and paying over the top prices for items which are quarter the price in other shops.
There dedicated (there words ) customer service team need to be trained in handling problems and not sending copy and paste replies which is so irritating and does little to solve the problem.

relations with mothers is that she was extremely jealous to his girlfriends. He
couldn�t understand why till one night she came to his bedroom is short robe to
talk about it. As you may see their conversation ended with really wild and messy
Amanda�s sons grew up it was very painful for her to watch them having fun at
parties and clubs and dating young girls. She did her best to stay # 1 for them.
Sons often joked that she�s she only woman in the world they will ever love. Once
they had pretty frank conversation about sex and Amanda said desperately she�s
not able to explain everything they ask her about but she�s able to show! That
was nasty but her sons took her right. It was their first incest experience so
they recorded it on video.
grew up without mother. She died when Helen was a just small kid. Her father Artur
took care of her, protected and cherished her. Sure, for Helen loved him not like
a father but like a man. But she couldn�t confessed herself in it till the day
he kissed her lips while she was sleeping. She woke up and finally realized how
happy she is. She never enjoyed sex with guys from her college as much as she
enjoyed it with Artur. She got her cunt eaten out as never before and then stuffed
with her father�s strong cock.

When people aren't talking about VMs and containers, they're talking about serverless architecture. Serverless is about no maintenance. It means you are not worried about low-level infrastructural and operational details. An event-driven serverless platform is a great use case for IoT. In his session at @ThingsExpo, Animesh Singh, an STSM and Lead for IBM Cloud Platform and Infrastructure, will detail how to build a distributed serverless, polyglot, microservices framework using open source tec...

The idea of comparing data in motion (at the sensor level) to data at rest (in a Big Data server warehouse) with predictive analytics in the cloud is very appealing to the industrial IoT sector. The problem Big Data vendors have, however, is access to that data in motion at the sensor location. In his session at @ThingsExpo, Scott Allen, CMO of FreeWave, discussed how as IoT is increasingly adopted by industrial markets, there is going to be an increased demand for sensor data from the outermos...

Recently retired (2014; 59 years old) aerospace engineer. Self managing 401k rollover to IRA.
I am a investor focused on dividend, deep value, and small/micro cap investing and attempt to do so from a Marxist perspective where it is applicable.
An investor with circa 30 years of professional, managerial and financial experience, gathered through both private-individual activities as well as asset management type of roles.
I'm involved in running a leveraged fixed-income, absolute return, hedge fund that aims at providing its investors with double-digit returns, per annum. The fund run a fast, frequent and furious trading strategy and it focuses on the very short term. Definitely not a Buy & Hold!
I'm also advising and consulting to private individuals, mostly HNWI that I had been serving through many years of working within the private banking, wealth management and asset management arenas. This activity focuses on the long run and it's mostly based on a Buy & Hold strategy.
Risk management is at the very core of our essence and while we normally take LONG-naked positions, we constantly hedge our positions, in order to protect the downside, that usually occurs at times when you least expect that to take place...
I cover all asset-classes though mostly focusing on cash cows and high dividend paying "machines" that may generate high (total) returns: Interest-sensitive, income-generating, instruments, e.g. Bonds, REITs, BDCs, Preferred Shares, MLPs, etc. combined with a variety of high-risk, growth and value stocks.
I believe and invest for the long run but i'm very minded of the short run too. While it's possible to make a massive-quick "kill", here and there, good things usually come in small packages; so do returns. Therefore, I (hope but) don't expect my investments to double in value over a short period of time. I do, however, aim at an annual double-digit returns on average, preferably on an absolute basis, i.e. regardless of markets' returns and directions.
Timing is Everything! While investors can't time the market, I believe that this applies only to the long term. In the short-term (a couple of months) one can and should pick the right moment and the right entry point, based on his subjective-personal preferences, risk aversion and goals. Long-term, strategy/macro, investment decisions can't be timed while short-term, implementation/micro, investment decision, can!
When it comes to investments and trading I believe that the most important virtues are healthy common sense, general wisdom, sufficient research, vast experience, strive for excellence, ongoing willingness to learn, minimum ego, maximum patience, ability to withstand (enormous) pressure/s, strict discipline and a lot of luck!...
Individual Investor largely focused on value. Long only. I work full-time outside of the financial industry and invest as a hobby and in attempt to grow my wealth.
I suspect that most dividend investors are conservative by nature. I am. I don't believe I have any special talent or gift for trading, a crystal ball, or any access to insider information. Consequently, I have little expectation of prospering by consistently buying low and selling high. In fact, prior to becoming a dividend investor, my trading history boasted the opposite, buying high and selling low. Tis sad but true, over those years, I'd given more to the market than I'd taken from it. However, that's yesterday's news, and of no real interest. Of importance is that I'm patient, analytical, organized, pretty good at math, and always looking for that angle, strategy, or edge to help guarantee my continued market success. My book, The Dividend Investor's Guide, details my history, education and growth as a dividend investor and the lessons I learned along the way. It details an effective and safe overall investing philosophy, along with a discussion of several proven trading strategies designed to enhance one's portfolio's income and dividend yield.
I am a Portuguese independent trader, analyst and algorithmic trading expert, having worked for both sell side (brokerage) and buy side (fund management) institutions.
I've been trading professionally for about 20 years and also launched www.thinkfn.com in 2004. Thinkfn (Think Finance) carries thousands of educational articles on finance and the markets.
I trade futures, stocks from the long and short side, forex and options. I trade both discretionary and fully automated systems (Metatrader, Quantshare and others).

I have been researching and investing in stocks and options in my own accounts since 2006. I finished my MBA in 2007 and then worked as the Finance Manager at a start up for 7 years. I'm currently self-employed as an online marketing consultant, but investing is my true passion.
I've found that my skill lies in taking the time to read 10-K and 10-Q reports carefully and being able to then create realistic future projections. As a value investor I tend to look at cash flow as much as if not more than earnings and revenues.
My investment horizon is typically at least 5-10 years, and ideally I place my money into investments which I could see myself holding through retirement. That said, I do also enjoy allocating a small portion of my account to short term options plays.
In our free time, my wife and I love to travel the world. We've each been to over 45 countries and relish the opportunity to see how people live all around the world.

Originally from MI, but I lived in SW China for six years and currently reside in Naples, FL.
About my investing history:
When my wife and I graduated from college in 2005, our combined income was about $45,000 per year (I made $10 an hour working in a factory and my wife made $12 an hour as a secretary). Not exactly "rich". However, we lived way below our means for the first 3 years of marriage before we had kids and were able to save about $20,000 a year. My wife's employer also matched her 401k contributions. We then moved to China and volunteered at a non-profit and made $1,000 a month for 6 years. Again, not exactly rolling in the doe!
I educated my self in finances (because high school and my BA and MA were not in business or finance) and went to work investing the money in our 401k, IRAs and personal stock account that we had been able to save up during our first few years of marriage. 10 years later, that initial $60,000 we put away has turned into a nice retirement account and we also just paid cash for our first house we bought last year after moving back to the U.S... And that was all from a man and his wife that made simply made a decision to live below our means for a few years realizing that time was on our side. Was it easy seeing our friends go out and get the nice cars and houses right away after college? NO...but now they are in debt up to their ears and we are financially healthy.
Again, I am not from a rich family nor have I ever even held a job that paid a lot of money. So even a family making not very much can do it. I know, I've been there and done it. We still live without cable and a flat screen TV. Not that we can't afford it now. We just choose not to. And our lives are just great without all the "stuff" that people tell you you need. By the way, I can tell you all about "the stuff you think you need" and the pressure to "keep up with the Jones"... because we live in Naples, FL!

My background includes education in petroleum engineering and business and 15 years working with producers, midstream operators and utilities to bring oil and gas from the reservoir to the consumer. I understand in detail the full life cycle and value chain of oil, gas, and NGLs, from the physics of permeability and extraction to the economics of refinery turnarounds and utility load profiles.
I am interested in bringing focused, in-depth understanding to issues related to oil and gas investing. Industry expertise and a true understanding of how oil and gas is discovered, produced, processed, transported, marketed and consumed are vital to valuing investment opportunities in the fossil energy space.

Self directed individual investor. I surpassed my own goals and expectations. I have been investing in the stock market since 1992. I used to day trade. Then I swing traded. Now I invest in dividend stocks with the focus on having the income exceed our needed expenses. I started investing in dividend stocks exclusively in 5/2011.

# of Projections Stated Within All Articles: 162
# of Projections PENDING: 1

Please see the list at the bottom of this profile for the details of my past projections.
Disclaimer: I cannot own and will not give an opinion on any investments my current employer has any direct or indirect professional services with (accounting, audit, tax, consulting, etc.). This mainly consists of various mutual funds and exchange traded funds (ETF's). This includes all stocks held within these particular investment vehicles. This specified list is updated monthly. As such, most large-cap stocks are "off the table" regarding my articles. All accounting insight, analysis, and opinions stated within any articles I write (in regards to a specified stock) are entirely from my own personal research and analysis. I believe my articles are both informative and in some cases educational.
NOTE: A growing number of readers/investors, analysts, and representatives of firms have requested to be provided with my "spreadsheets/models" to help better understand certain companies/sectors. My researched data is several files of 100+ spreadsheets/models containing both stocks I write about on S.A. and stocks I choose to not write about on S.A. To reduce the repeated requests to provide such data, these spreadsheets/models are ALL linked together. As such, all current and future requests to "share" my data/models will be politely declined. Thanks for your understanding regarding this subject.
I appreciate my loyal readers and I'll continue to try to provide high quality, in-depth articles.
Commonly Asked Questions:
Question 1): If you are only paid per article, why make your articles so long / detailed?
- I like to provide the "nuts and bolts" of a company. As such, I strive for my articles to have some sort of "hard to obtain" facts / figures. From this data, I like to fully discuss / analyze specific topics within a particular stock. This mainly consists of a quarterly projection article and a series of articles on a company's dividend sustainability. In certain instances, I also write articles in regards to specific, material events that occur during a quarter.
- I believe a company's quarterly results and upcoming dividend declarations are two of the most important topics readers are requesting information on. My analysis takes the "average" article several steps further to allow readers to have access to information that is rare to public viewership. In doing so, I believe my articles are both beneficial and educational for most readers.
Question 2): How come you only write 1-2 articles a week (would like to see more)?
- As stated in my profile above, I have a full-time professional career. I write / analyze stocks in my "free time". To provide these types of high quality / in-depth articles, I can't see writing more than 2 articles a week. I believe "quality" should always be a higher priority versus "quantity".
- As many readers should know by now (if you've followed me for a while), I not here for the monetary rewards. If that was the case, I'd write 5+ weekly articles and provide little to no engagement in each article's comment section. I believe the comments section is as important as the article themselves b/c readers have a wide range of questions in relation to each article or the sector in general.
Question 3): What do you personally gain from writing these articles?
- I am not here trying to promote a company, book, or website. There's nothing wrong with that. However, that's just not what I'm about. I'm here for the "average Joe".
- When I decided to write these articles, I based it on the notion I am filling a "special niche" per se. Using skills that have been built up over my professional career, my articles usually provide unique information that most writers either a) don't have the technical expertise to provide or b) don't bother providing due to the time it takes to compile such data. As such, I believe the S.A. community benefits from my articles. I solely do this b/c it's a passion of mine and I like helping readers have accurate, reliable data that is not readily available. Yes, I understand this may seem "hard to believe" in this day and age. However, I believe some of my more "seasoned" followers know this aspect of my generosity / personality. Also, in the past there were numerous misstated "facts / notions" in various articles I saw being written by the stocks I currently cover. Since I began to write my articles here, these misstatements / misnomers have decreased which is good for this forum.
Question 4): How come you do not write about more stocks?
- To give readers the level of detail that I provide in my articles, I amass large amounts of data every quarter (or even weekly). As a direct result, a large amount of time is consumed by obtaining / analyzing this data. This would only increase if I expanded my researched portfolio of stocks.
- If I expanded the stocks I research, it would most likely take away the quality of other articles I currently am writing about. Again, this gets back to the "quality vs. quantity" metric.
- There is a fairly large range of stocks / investment vehicles I cannot write about / provide an opinion on due to various conflicts of interests (regarding my professional career). This is a topic I take VERY seriously. As such, I take all necessary precautions to avoid any remote possibility of a conflict of interest occurring.

First of all, let me state that I am NOT a CPA, attorney, nor financial planner. I am just a relatively savvy stock investor who wants to help the general public find their way through some of the maze of stock investing.
I am 85 years young, although you might not think so from my accompanying newest picture. Yes, that is reallly me, age 84 and 11 months. I have been investing in stocks and bonds for about 60 of those years. It is now my main hobby. I invest mainly in high-yield stocks rated A- or lower down to B. I got stung a few years ago when Lehman Brothers, rated AAA, went down the tubes, costing me over $25,000, so decided to never again get involved with highly rated (over-rated) stocks that paid only small dividends. I prefer the high-yield stocks like BDCs, REITs, and MLPs from which I can get paid NOW, even though I actually expect to last another 20 years or so. I have developed my own stock investing system that I call MRHY (medium risk, high yield).
I took early retirement in 1987 from a job as manager of a Computer Systems and Programming department at a large life insurance company. I am the holder of a CDP (Certificate in Data Processing) from the Data Processing Management Association (DPMA). During my working years, I frequentlly worked closely with the company actuaries and accountants. I even took some actuarial classes to be able to work with the actuaries in their own language and skills. Those experiences, plus my computer skills and high IQ, have alllowed me to build my stock portfolio from less than $300,000 in 1987 to over $600,000 in 2007. I also have the benefits of ~95% long term retention of whatever I read or hear, which is very useful in stock market investing. I inherited $everal hundred thou$and in 2011, which I have invested in medium-risk, high-yield stocks (MRHY), so that my total stock portfolio is now well over $1.25 million.
The above Bio was posted a couple of years ago and has now (October, 2015) been updated. My stock holdings are now over $1.5 Million and my annual dividend income is now just
over $175,000. I also collect income from SSA, 3 annuities that my deceased wife and I started receiving when we retired, and a restaurant seating about 120 that I bought in November, 2014, for a total annual income of about $240,000.
Folks, if I can do it, you can too. All that it requires is a good brain with an understanding of the financial world, mathematics, and a little actuarial science, plus a high risk tolerance!

50/50 Portfolio; Mar 2016 YOC 10.0% about 9 months before retirement, dividends at 72% of my gross employment income. I created a High Yield Investment dividend generator that contains a 50% weighting between agency mortgage REITs and BDCs. My current investment method started January 2014 to concentrate on high yield equities that put more importance on income and less on capital appreciation. Investment purchase is based on each individual stock generating a minimum dividend per year. As long as stocks are generating income to meet or exceed my minimum dividend they will not be added too or removed. Currently all dividends are reinvested back into stocks that require their dividends to be increased to meet my minimum yearly dividend. We will see how this works over the years.
1) The REIT sector consists of residential and commercial property investments. What better way to invest in hundreds of properties without actually owing the physical property.
2) The BDC are Business Development Companies that invest in hundreds of businesses that create products and employment opportunities. Here again the BDC does all the research to lend to businesses and the investor does not have to actually own the physical business.
3) The investment selection is based on this principle; BDCs outperform when markets are going up (positive correlation), and mREITs, outperform when markets are going down (negative correlation). This is based on a research study performed by Wells Fargo titled "The 50/50 Portfolio, Milton Friedman's Only "Free" Lunch. And runs through an analysis in demonstrating how combining BDCs and Agency mREITs leads to sustainable long-term alpha throughout cycles.
4) Capital gain does not apply to my investment method since this implies the anticipation of buy and hope for price increase in order to sell at a profit. I have already stated the HYBRID method holds investments based on cost basis and dividends per share as the method of yearly appreciation.
5) A bird in the hand is worth 10 in a bush, applies to this investment style. The return I get on my investment is what counts toward the recapture of my initial investment cost. I can calculate how many years it will take before my initial cost will be repaid and that investment now becomes perpetual income. I'm not a trader, just a buy, hold and collector (dividends * shares). I can't count on capital appreciation since all investments will increase and decrease in any market cycle. Dividends I can count on as payment for investment risk that accumulates over time.
6) Update 20140612, Portfolio Plan; Build a portfolio that generates income 150% of minimum required. Example I need 10K from 30 stocks made up of REITs and BDCs. Diversification is already built into each stock because each one contains hundreds of properties and business, so 30 stocks is plenty. Now to generate 10K minimum income I will establish a 50% margin of error (or income default). So to get 10K minimum I will need 15K of income (10K * 1.5). This means each stock is required to generate at least $500/yr each. I can withstand a 33% hit in the dividends and still meet my 10K minimum requirement. That is 10 stocks can go to zero and the remaining 20 will create my minimum 10K.
7) Update 20140729, I do not invest in individual companies, too risky. The following is the logic behind this statement compared to BDC investments. If I invest in 30 dividend companies, anyone of them may have financial problems and drag down the portfolio very quickly. The Due-Diligence (DD) would take all my time to analyze past performance and make judgments for the future, and current events can tank a stock fast. Every company needs money to run operations and for capital improvements and this is where BDCs come into play. The individual company has to borrow funds and BDCs are there to provide the capital. So the BDC is like a bank to lend money. Each BDC may contain hundreds of separate loans going to hundreds of different companies making the BDC less risky than owning individual companies. If one of the companies that the BDC has a loan with goes bankrupt, the BDC will recover some if not all of the loan monies lent to the failed company, and the BDC will continue with a very small disruption to its bottom line. So in effect owing BDCs that contain hundreds of investments (loans to companies) earning a consistent repayment to principal and interest is safer than just owning an individual low yielding company. When you invest in a BDC or REIT you are investing in the managers that perform the DD by analyzing the companies first before loaning them money to run their business.
Owing 10 or more BDCs is like having investments in thousands of companies with a very low risk of any one individual company causing portfolio damage, while your portfolio grows faster with the high yields from BDCs and REITs.
8) I have developed FREE Excel applications for planning retirement during the accumulation and distribution phase, the links are in my articles, (Dividend Growth Calculator... and Predicting Retirement...) As I develop additional Excel 2010 applications I'll make them available to all SA members. We are all in the same boat trying to achieve a better life in retirement.

Needs more work than a colour change
The app has been rebranded but sees little improvement from the problems of the old app. I can't see the car I want to book as visible on the map despite wanting it for tonight when it isn't booked. I guess it doesn't show because it's out right now? When I pick a car and want to reserve it why not show the car and add the location too so that I'm sure I'm reserving the right car. Useful for opening and unlocking and amending a reservation but I'm having to find a computer now to book the car I want. That's the whole point of the app...
Very disappointed
Very basic app. City car club app was much better than Europe car club one! Doesn't show rates, doesn't show previous booking, can't amend a booking without cancelling it first!
App has become terrible
Since enterprise took over from city car club, now you can no longer see the price of the car you want to hire. That is just stupid!!!

I received from rockingbearranch an adorable package, behold!
Everything came tucked inside the fun monster pouch, that is very well made, by-the-way. There is a cute little monster drawing and two crazy stitched monsters that look like they might be made out of marshmallows!
Here are the duo. The larger one is holding a spoon and I haven't decided if it intends on feeding or eating the smaller monster. I suppose the point is moot either way as the monster pouch ate them all! Muahahaha!!
And the super cute monster drawing. I love him!
Thank you so much for swapping with me!!

Schylar Widzon crawled across the floor with a smile on his face as his great-great-great-grandfather looked on.
The 8-month-old made history with his birth as he became the family's sixth living generation.
"I feel old," joked 97-year-old patriarch Russell Bennett, who lives in Forest City. "I am old."
From Mr. Bennett, the family line descends to Schylar through Darlene Molinaro of Jermyn, Mary Frisbie of Archbald, Jennifer Sweetman of Jessup and Bryana Sweetman of Olyphant.
At 56, Ms. Frisbie points out that a lot of her friends are not grandparents yet, let alone great-grandparents like her.
"It feels good, but I wasn't quite ready for it yet," she laughed.
Life as a new mom is "filled with lots of adventure," said Bryana Sweetman, who has another baby for that sixth generation on the way. Schylar recently grew in his first two teeth, and his family describes him as a good baby who seldom cries.
"I immediately fell in love with him," Ms. Frisbie said.
The challenge the family now faces is figuring out what name Schylar will use for each of his grandparents and their predecessors.
Schylar has many years to go to match his great-great-great-grandfather's longevity, but the family joked that it will have seven generations living 20 years from now. Jennifer Sweetman recommended he "keep smiling" and "keep his chin up."
With the generations of his family gathered around him, Mr. Bennett kidded around about how he has lived to 97 despite doing everything he "wasn't supposed to." He had a stroke at 58 and recalls how he has long outlived a doctor who once told him to "go home and die."
"We just hope we have his genes," Ms. Frisbie said.
