Perhaps I'm drowning in the black, browns and grays of the winter months, but lately all I can think about is color. I'm currently neon-obsessed (want proof? Just click here), and although some who are close to me fear I am having a teen moment, neon takes me to my happy place faster than a margarita (and that's saying something). But I'm loving other colors as well, and here's why: Color is uplifting, color is flattering on the skin, and color is, alas, a welcome pop among all the dark hues in your closet.
I've had a love affair with green for as long as I can remember (longer actually, as my family says I requested a green dress at the age of three, which predates my memory bank), and I've been drawn to all things green ever since. I'm always shopping for fabulous green items—to a ridiculous degree, some might say—but as I consider it my signature color, I feel I can't have enough (the color isn't always in fashion, so when it becomes a trend-of-the-moment, I pounce). You know what else? I'm certain the color looks good on me. Why? Because every time I wear it I get loads of compliments.
Hence, green is a win-win: it makes me happy on a personal level, and looks good on me. My message is simple: Find your color. To recap, you want something that makes you feel great when you wear it, and also garners unsolicited compliments from complete strangers. Once you know what your color is, go out and get yourself a few pieces and work them into your look. So simple, yet so good.

Most look upon the age of 40 with dread, but I embraced it. Knowing that I have no regrets, have maintained good health, and gained knowledge and wisdom throughout my life led me to celebrate for the entire week I turned 40. You'll love it!

Officers with the Lexington and Thomasville police departments are adding a teal ribbon to their uniforms this month. Their hope is to raise awareness of Sexual Assault Awareness Month in April.
Want to help?
Family Services of Davidson County encourages victims of sexual assaults to contact the agency's 24-hour crisis line at 243-1934. The Second Annual 'Davidson Doozie,' the nonprofit's signature fundraising event, also will be May 11. For more information, contact Family Services at 249-0237.
"The goal for Sexual Assault Awareness Month is to encourage people to … become informed about issues of sexual violence and sexual assault," said Catherine Johnson, crisis intervention director for Family Services of Davidson County.
According to data provided by Family Services, one in six women and one in 33 men will be sexually assaulted in their lifetime, and every two minutes someone in the United States is sexually assaulted. The Davidson County Sheriff's Office investigated nine rapes in 2011 and five in 2012, the Thomasville Police Department had three rapes in 2011 and two in 2012, and the Lexington Police Department investigated six rapes each in 2011 and 2012, according to statistics provided by the three agencies.
The TPD and LPD, staff at the Davidson County Courthouse and employees of Thomasville Medical Center and Wake Forest Baptist Health — Lexington Medical Center are wearing the teal ribbons in April, Johnson said. The crisis intervention director stressed the importance of the community acknowledging sexual assaults do happen and helping become part of the resolution to prevent them from occurring.
"Family Services has been around for 16 years providing support to these families (the families of victims of sexual assaults)," Johnson said. "We recognize that it's a private issue, and it stays within four walls."
TPD Det. Jaime Foley acknowledged survivors of rape may have a hard time deciding whether to report their sexual assault to police. She said rape prevention and counseling experts strongly advise victims to report the rape to the authorities so that their assailants can be brought to justice.
"While there is no way to undue the rape, reporting it to the police will help to stop the perpetrator from harming other victims in the future," Foley said. "Additionally, rape victims can feel a sense of closure when the rapist is brought to justice and convicted accordingly."
Once a person becomes a victim of a sexual assault, they must go to a safe location away from the perpetrator, Foley explained.
"Reporting it immediately ensures all available evidence is collected, and a stronger case can be built against the perpetrator and hopefully preventing him or her from committing another attack," she said.
Capt. Robby Rummage of the LPD said he hates to think of the amounts of sexual assaults that go unreported because it can be a crime of embarrassment. He said sometimes the crimes involve family members, extended family members and children.
"It's a very serious offense," Rummage said of sexual assaults. "We partner with Family Services of Davidson County because we realize we have a victim of a crime that we need to interview and investigate for. We also know that there are a lot of things, counseling and other resources, that they need that we can't provide."
Rummage said law enforcement wants to see the perpetrators prosecuted.
"We work with the district attorney in making sure we have the strongest cases we can," he said.
Rummage reminds residents to talk with their children about sexuality, what is appropriate and what is not appropriate.
"Make sure you listen to kids when they are talking about things that do not seem right," the captain said.
The timeliness of reporting sexual assaults is key, Rummage said. However, he explained the Lexington Police Department has solved sexual assault cases that occurred years before they were reported.
"It makes it challenging, but it does not make it impossible," Rummage said.
Davidson County Sheriff David Grice reminds parents to be careful with their daughters and the age of the men they date.
"Ask questions about who they are going out with," the sheriff said.
Residents who meet people over the Internet should have their first interaction face to face in public, Grice said. The sheriff encourages them to bring somebody with them to the first meeting. Lt. Kevin Johnson of the DCSO and Grice also encourage parents to monitor the activity of their children on the Internet.
"We statistically have claimed that rape is one of the most underreported crimes because people are afraid of the process of facing their accuser in court, and the process of going through the physical exam and then the shame that some people fear that the community will think they contributed to the assault," Grice said.

Plan developed by Mindy Solkin, owner and head coach of The Running Center in New York City.
Although numerous studies have shown that exercise actually boosts your immune system, even the healthiest of us can come down with a cold or even the flu in winter and early spring. But should you lace up your shoes when your plan calls for a workout — even if you have the sniffles?
If your cold is above your neck — runny nose, stuffy head — it's probably okay to head out, but cut your mileage down to about half and don't forget to drink plenty of fluids, says Vijay Vad, a sports medicine specialist at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York. However, if you have a fever, are coughing or vomiting, or have numerous aches and pains, you're better off crawling under the covers. "Taking a few days off won't kill your whole race, but if you run through a cold or flu, you could make the virus worse," adds Dr. Vad. So pour yourself a bowl of chicken soup, take advantage of the added rest, and try again another day.

This morning while having my daily shower I was thinking about something I read a few years back in a book called The Philosophy Files by Stephen Law. The chapter was titled "Who am I?" and it was about what defines a person. For the first part of the chapter you follow the idea that a person is a pattern, a shifting mixture of memories and personality traits that are not dependent on the physical medium they are kept in. For example, you can transfer the pattern from one brain to another, and the person in the new brain would be the person from the old one. However, what happens when you clone someone? Which person is them? Are they both the same person, or two different people, and is either of them the original person?
In my opinion the original is still themselves, and the clone is someone new created from the same pattern. Almost instantly their pattern will become different to the original's. But let's complicate things further. Let's say that after the person is cloned they are then killed, just before the clone's pattern begins to change. Again I think that the clone is not the person, but you may disagree.
Now let us say that a body is cloned without a pattern, then the pattern is removed from the original and placed inside the new body. Now I would say the new body is the person, as the pattern has been transferred. But what is the difference between transferring the pattern and copying it before it is deleted?
Finally, let's say that instead of one body, two are created, both without patterns. Then the pattern from the original body is extracted and given to both bodies. Which one is the person? Both? Neither? I don't know. I feel that one of them should be the person and the other not, but I have no way of saying which would be the original pattern and which the copy. In fact I don't think there's any way of telling. Perhaps they are both the person, but I'm not sure if that's possible. What do you think?

It is a new day. D'Angelo returns to the spotlight after over 10 years with a European tour that kicked off in Stockholm, Sweden yesterday. Above, catch a clip from his performance of "Chicken Grease" and below, you'll find video from "Sh*t Damn Motherf*cker." A few new songs were unveiled as well, including "Sugar Daddy," "The Charade," and "Another Life."
In watching these videos, it's evident that D'Angelo is happy to be up on stage and share with his adoring fans. And in case you were second guessing, indeed the man is killing it and singing like he's always known – hopefully a prelude to a new era of some earth-shifting music.

NH #1: Lebanon Best Small Town
Lebanon, NH, my old stomping ground, was named Livability's 2015 Top Best Small Town, moving up from its number 3 ranking last year.
This is a quintessential New England town, replete with town square and gushing river. You can enjoy picnics in the park in summer, and ski minutes away in the winter. Nosh on some delicious food at Salt Hill Pub or Three Tomatoes. Catch live music in the park or at the Opera House (where I saw Johnny Clegg play a few years ago). With ivy league Dartmouth College just minutes away, as well as a world class hospital, a fantastic school district, and several high tech companies like Tom Tom, Hydrotherm, and Timken Aerospace in the area, Lebanon might just be the right fit for you and your family.
Quick facts: Population: 13,367; Median Household Income: $52,231; Median Home Price: $235,400.

Real Liberty Doesn't Erode Freedom
In no other state will you see thoughtful debates about what libertarianism is happening in the local newspaper. This type of open dialogue is vital for our New Hampshire friends and neighbors to understand how more freedom will, in fact, enhance their lives.
Early mover, father of two, and a former Democrat James Davis writes an excellent response to this article which appeared in The Concord Monitor earlier this week. (It's worth reading the comments to that article as well.)
Says James Davis: "Libertarians come in all different shapes and sizes, from all parts of the world, and from all different socioeconomic situations. And some libertarians are jerks, just like some people of all political movements are jerks. More...
Majority of Granite Staters Say: Free the Weed
The latest WMUR Granite State Poll indicates a majority of Granite State adults favor the legalization of marijuana in New Hampshire, but opinion is more strongly in favor of decriminalization.
From the WMUR article:
"The poll of 567 New Hampshire adults by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center, conducted May 6-22, found that 54 percent favor legalizing marijuana for recreational use and 36 percent are opposed. If marijuana were legalized, the poll found, 64 percent of New Hampshire residents approve of selling it a license retail outlets and taxing it, while 29 percent disapprove of the idea."

On Monday, June 22, 2015, join Free Range Kids founder Lenore Skenazy at the Free State Project's 12th Annual Porcupine Freedom Festival in Lancaster, NH.
Read her recent interview with The Washington Post.
Asked how perceptions have changed about Free Range Kids over time, Skenazy says: "There's a lot more discussion about childhood freedom. Where it went and how we can get it back. I think the thing that I brought to public attention is this government angle. The idea that helicopter parenting was becoming law of the land, rather than just a choice. And that's changed. There's constant attention to this now in public and it's a more fevered pitch. I just think that everybody gets now what I'm saying. For two years in a row after I started this site, I was voted as the most controversial mommy blogger by Babble. I'm not that controversial anymore. I read a lot of articles and everyone sounds like me."
New Hampshire VS. Maryland

Forest Kindergartens? Yes, Please!
NHPR covers a growing trend in New Hampshire: Nature-based schools and forest kindergartens.
Says Patty Ewen, a consultant for the Office of Early Childhood at the New Hampshire Department of Education: "What we're really talking about in the context of New Hampshire is environmental based-learning. And there's a reason a lot of us live in New Hampshire and love New Hampshire and protect it. And a lot of that has to do with the environmental beauty and resources that our state has. So when you think about where you live and why you live there, for New Hampshire, nature-based learning is sort of a hand and glove opportunity. I do think it fits in a state like ours where everything is decentralized decision making or what everyone likes to refer to as local control."

Do Something: The Rights Brigade Launches
The Free State Project's pledge talks about exerting "the fullest practical effort toward the creation of a society in which the maximum role of government is the protection of individuals' rights to life, liberty, and property." How activists do this, is up to them as individual participants.
A group of early movers have taken the bull by the horn and started a new project called The Rights Brigade.
According to their website, their mission centers around "the defense of our basic human freedom. We believe every individual has the right to peacefully coexist with the rest of humankind, to live as they see fit, so long as they do not forcefully infringe upon the rights of others to do the same. We also believe that these rights, though universal, are meaningless unless they are able to be exercised, and that the exercise thereof will only be possible so long as those rights are vigorously defended. We will not trust the defense of these rights to any institution, but will personally see to it that they remain secure." More...
Sucker's Bet: Monopoly vs. Prohibition
Early mover Bill Walker weighs in on monopoly gambling in the Granite State, where a proposed bill to create 2 casinos recently failed.
From the article: "Just replace 'monopoly casino' with 'monopoly grocery store,' and imagine the chaos if our food depended on politicians picking the 'right' company to supply our state. Our politicians are no better at designing entertainment facilities than they would be at running Market Basket.
Monopoly is a sucker's bet. Our legislature needs to put together a bill that gets the state government out of the Boardwalk Empire business entirely. Let the consumer decide how many casinos they want, whether the number is zero or five.
The Live Free or Die taxpayer doesn't want government shutting down veteran's poker games or subsidizing casino companies. Let entrepreneurs bet their own money and take their own chances." Read the whole article at The Citizen. Photo credit: The Concord Monitor

5 Reasons the Free State Project Trumps Liberland
A new libertarian micronation is taking the global news media by storm. "Liberland" aims to create a European "Free State" in the Balkans. While I declare solidarity with all my brethren exploring new ways to live free, I believe the New Hampshire-based Free State Project presents a more viable and proven strategy than Liberland can even hope to offer in the foreseeable future.

Climb Every Mountain... In A Zamboni?
New Hampshire has some weird, wonderful and whacky traditions. Take this weekend's 5th Annual Alton Weagle Unusual Ascent Day at Mount Washington. In past years, ascenders have conquered the 7.6 mile road on stilts, top-car kayaks, blindfolded and skipping rope in lederhausen, using rollerblades and rockets to honor Alton Weagle, who in the 1950's engaged in a series of "publicity stunts" to bring attention to the mountain. This year the steep climb will be attempted in a Zamboni. File this one under: Keep New Hampshire Awesome!

New York City's Meatpacking district is a shopper's paradise, but don't let the name fool you: if you're looking for a center cut, or, say, a rack of lamb, you're in the wrong place. The area is now home to major fashion, people. Jeffrey! DVF! Louboutin! I'm telling you, you'll become that much more chic just by roaming the cobbled streets of this uber stylish 'hood, and well before you make even a single purchase. I was there last night (and am still feeling the residual coolness!) and if the regular shops weren't dazzling enough, there, nestled on the corner of Little West 12th and Ninth Avenue, was something entirely different.
Was I having a Wizard of Oz moment? Possibly. There, as if dropped from the sky, was the cutest little white shingled cottage I've ever seen, complete with blue and white striped window awnings. Turns out it's Tommy Hilfiger's new pop up store, debuting in New York before it tours internationally (Paris, Milan, etc.). Hilfiger is calling it "Prep World," and for good reason. The house is stocked with all of the designer's classics (button downs to duck boots), as well as a few home accoutrements that stay on message (anchor-motif pillows, badminton racquets).
The house opens Thursday May 5th and will remain open for one week. Yes, my friends, you'll need to shop fast before that little cottage flies off to its next destination.
Go! Buy! Be Chic!

Although honey is the sweetest of foods, chestnut honey has an earthy, semi-sweet essence that is very sensuous. Italians spread it over Gorgonzola melted on bread, but it is also an excellent choice as a glaze for sautéed chicken breasts or baked acorn squash.

Travel to the Jersey Shore as three childhood friends who were supposed to be meeting in Vegas for a bachelorette weekend regroup when the bride-to-be is dumped by her fiancé. Instead, the three young women head to the familiar comfort of Avalon and its stretches of glorious beaches. The happy memories shared by Kate, Dani and Vanessa are overshadowed by the specter of Kate's twin brother's tragic drowning eight years earlier. What the three don't know is that each harbors secrets that could impact the others' lives, and each is at a crossroads in her life.
"Interestings" by Meg Wolitzer
This book follows a group of teenaged friends (who call themselves "Interestings") from their 1974 meeting at an arty summer camp through to middle age. The novel skips back and forth over time, revealing more about the friends' triumphs and tragedies over the years. Of course, there are secrets kept and long-harbored resentments over the years as their lives diverge and reconnect. "Interestings" is an ambitious, sprawling and insightful novel.
Like the summer destination, the amusement park, summer is a great time for thrills and chills. Below are some suggested books that range from thrilling to downright scary:
"Out of Range" by Hank Steinberg
Charlie Davis is a political reporter for the Los Angeles Times, but becomes an investigator in search of his wife, Julie, when she goes missing. This action-packed thriller by the creator of the television show "Without a Trace" leads Charlie and readers to Uzbekistan, the country where Charlie and Julie fell in love. As he frantically pursues his missing wife, he becomes embroiled in international intrigue and also finds disturbing clues pointing to his wife's possible infidelity and secret life.
"Crime of Privilege" by Walter Walker
Twelve years earlier, when he was in college, George Becket sees his preppy friends rape a young woman at a Palm Beach party. Now an Assistant D.A., he risks everything investigating his powerful and connected friends in the unsolved murder of a girl in Cape Cod. Crime of Privilege is a page-turning, twisty adventure into the world of the rich and powerful.
"The Execution of Noa P. Singleton" by Elizabeth L. Silver
Six months before her execution date, death row inmate Noa is approached by attorney Marlene Dixon, who offers to petition the state for clemency on Noa's behalf. Marlene is the mother of Noa's victim, and she wants to know why Noa killed her daughter. This gripping debut novel will appeal to fans of legal thrillers, and the complexity of the characters and moral issues at stake also make it a perfect pick for book clubs.
"The Shining Girls" by Lauren Beukes
A time-travelling serial killer and the only survivor of his attacks are on a collision course toward each other in this grisly, pulse-pounding thriller.
There are no Olympics this summer, so let's go back to one of the most famous Olympic events of all time:
"The Boys in the Boat: Nine Americans and Their Epic Quest for Gold at the 1936 Olympics" by Daniel Brown
The 1936 Berlin Olympics are most memorable, due in large part to the tense international climate and the performance of Jesse Owens. However, another remarkable story from the same Games involved the rowing team from the University of Washington, who defeated elite rivals on Hitler's big stage. These sons of farmers and loggers were able to first defeat the cream of the crop from Britain's finest universities before triumphing over the team from Germany. Readers will enjoy this irresistible and inspirational story about the little guys beating the odds in dramatic fashion on the world stage.
Romance is great for summer reading for adults and teens:
"Just One Kiss" by Susan Mallery
When Justice Garrett moves back to Fool's Gold, California, he gets a second chance at love with his childhood friend, Patience McGraw. This is the first of three new entries in Mallery's popular Fool's Gold series.
"The Moon and More" by Sarah Dessen
Emaline is in that awkward summer between the end of high school and beginning of college, waiting for the next stage of her life to begin, when young indie-filmmaker Theo arrives in her small North Carolina beach town. Reconsidering the options for her future, Emaline comes to a surprising decision.
Finally, a road trip is perfect for an engaging listen:
"Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls" by David Sedaris
NPR commentator and humorist Sedaris is back with a collection of essays steeped in his trademark dark humor and insights into our human condition. His slightly nerdy tone has always made these essays great on the page but even better as a listen.

Rated 3 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 3 out of 5 by jacinda81 You might want to know this trick to getting it on... Bought this cover when it was on sale last week, along with the luxe sofa frame. The salesperson gave us a handy tip to getting this on the frame, as it's a very tight fit and the zippers are not heavy duty: Wash first and put on while damp. The fabric has more give when slightly wet and it pulls out all of the wrinkles. Can't be machine dried. I wouldn't advise getting this and planning to wash it frequently because it's a struggle getting the cushions in. January 21, 2014

Salt Lake is not only a Mecca of arts options for adults, but we really are fortunate to have arts programs that are great for all ages! Here are a few highlights in the next few weeks for the kids:
Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company's Kaleidoscope -
At the beginning of each year, Ririe Woodbury Dance Company does a special show designed specifically for younger audience members, but it really brings out the child in audience members of all ages.
As Joan Woodbury puts it, "Kaleidoscope is bursting with all of the magic and theatricality that we all hope to experience and for our children to see. It is alive, fanciful and stirs the imagination like no other theater experience you will ever see. The wonders of the genius of magician/choreographer Alwin Nikolais are at work making sure that you get to see it. Along with bringing back some of Nikolais' masterpieces—giant white elastics cutting through space, incredible stretching forms molding and changing, disc footed creatures surprising you with their dexterity and rhythms—we are also presenting, totally new for Salt Lake City, a reconstruction of "Gallery" Nikolais' venture into the world of carnival, fun houses, haunted houses, and the aura of a shooting gallery. Ghosts cavort, conveyor belt figures wheel in delight, angles float and dangle. This is an extravaganza that no one should miss. Families will love coming to the theater together, and experiencing the total delight of the wizardry of the work of Alwin Nikolais."
In addition to the public performances, Kaleidoscope will be performed 5 times for a theater full of elementary school students that are attending the show free of charge, as part of the dance company's extensive education programs. The show will also be performed for an audience of all ages on Feb. 3 and 4 at 7:30 p.m., with a matinee at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 4. Kaleidoscope will be at the Capitol Theatre, 50 West 200 South. More information is available at: ririewoodbury.com/performances/kaleidoscope.

The white man had the schmaltz, the black man had the blues, but no one knew what they was gonna do, but Chaikovsky had the news. He said, "Let there be rock." Bon Scott wrote that, and it's a real privilege to accept these awards tonight. We have onstage with us Paul and Daniel, who are Bon's nephews, who are going to accept the award tonight. And just a few words. We'd just like to thank Outback Music for sticking with the boys, Atlantic Records, Elektra, and our new record company Epic, want to thank them. But mainly, this award is for the fans all around the world that have stuck by us through thick and thin. Thanks."

Andy Cohen's recently-released memoir, Most Talkative: Stories from the Front Lines of Pop Culture, tells how Cohen, a longtime TV fanatic, acheived his dream of working in television—and how he eventually found his way in front of the cameras. (Cohen acts as a mediator for all the Real Housewives reunions and hosts his own late-night talk show, Watch What Happens Live, which airs at 11pm EST Sunday through Thursday.) Here, five things you may not have known about the Bravo executive:
1. He has a history with the Chen-bot
In college, Cohen interned at CBS This Morning with current The Talk co-host, Julie Chen. At the time, he wasn't a big fan of Chen, as she would skip out of work early to see her boyfriend. Chen went on to anchor CBS This Morning and married the head of CBS, and the two are friends today.
2. He never thought he'd make it as an on-screen personality
As an intern, a producer told him that his "wandering eye might keep you from any on-air career." Before that comment, Cohen had never noticed anything unusual about his eyes. We bet that producer is eating his words now!
3. He covered serious news for CBS
Cohen was hired straight out of college to be a newsclerk for CBS. He was at the network for 10 years—working his way up to senior producer—and was on the scene for some of the biggest stories in the country, including the Joey Buttafuoco scandal, the Mississippi and Missouri River floods and the Oklahoma City bombings.
4. He once was a go-go dancer
Big fans of the B-52s, Cohen and his friend were invited to dance onstage at one of the band's concerts. Though dealing with symptoms of Lyme disease at the time, he wouldn't let anything get in the way of showing off his moves to "Rock Lobster!"
5. Cybill Shepherd once pitched him a show—while they both were shirtless
While working in programming for the now defunct network, TRIO, Cohen met with a very eccentric and flirty Cybill Shepherd who was pitching a reality show featuring her and a friend. Perhaps trying a little too hard, Shepherd whipped off her shirt, citing the heat, and strongly suggested Cohen do the same. To this day, he says it's the "kookiest" celebrity pitch meeting he's ever had!

I was super excited about finding this bar, since it's been ages since I've had a Dolfin bar of any kind. That's one thing that stinks about making a big move, you lose all the local places that you know where you can find your favorite stuff. Dolfin is certainly a favorite of mine. Interestingly enough, this is a bar of theirs I haven't seen before. Regardless, I was excited to have anything by Dolfin, so having it be a new item wasn't a big deal. I trust them to do a good job with all their flavors, which has been my experience in the past.
So what it SpeculOOs? That's exactly what I wanted to know when I first saw the bar. It was my sister who informed me that it was a Dutch spice cookie, so then I had an idea of what the flavor profile was. Once I got to a computer I found out it is the Speculaas cookie, and I have to admit, they look pretty good. Next time I'll find some without the chocolate bar around it.
It's a small 30g bar, just the right size. The chocolate looks "normal" with a nice medium brown color. It smells sweet and slightly spicy with notes of smooth cinnamon.
The texture is a nice contrast. It's both silky from the chocolate and slightly grainy from the added ingredients of crushed cookies and spices. The flavor is lovely as the milk chocolate is extremely buttery and rich with nice notes of chocolate and caramel. The cookies bits have a slight shortbread flavor to it, and the spices are just enough to be there but don't overpower anything. They're a kiss of cinnamon and pepper. It's a great combinations and really delicious.
So this bar, it's amazing. I want more! Maybe it's the lack of Dolfin in my life recently that's talking, but it was a nicely made and flavor chocolate bar. Just another reason why Dolfin is such a great chocolatier in my mind.

The pros and cons of selling covered calls on dividend paying stocks.
The economic incentive for the seller for writing a covered call is that he collects options premium, which increases his income from the stock he owns. With the passage of time, the time value portion of the option's premium generally decreases - a positive effect for an investor with a short option position. In addition to that, the stockholder still owns the stock after he writes a call. So they continue to collect all dividends paid as long as the option is not exercised!
This strategy is most profitable when stocks trade in a range and as a result the call option expires worthless. Thus an investor who can correctly predict that a stock would not experience significant price swings over a certain period in the future, could achieve extraordinary results over time. Investors are also always free to purchase the covered call back from the market at any time if they change their opinion on the direction of the stock price. Even if stock prices decline after a covered call has been written, the investor is still better off, because their losses are smaller due to the options premium collected. If the option expires worthless or is sold profitably and the investor still owns the underlying, they can generate more income by selling more covered calls.
Selling Covered Calls sounds appealing at first, because theoretically one could get two passive income streams from one stock. There are some risks with this strategy though, which might make it less appealing to investors.
First, if the stock price rises above the strike price at which the call was written, one would not be able to participate in any upside gains in the stock, because they are required to sell it to the call buyer to whom the call option was written in the first place. The only scenario in which the investor will keep the stock and the premium is when the stock price does not increase above their strike price. This strategy seems inferior because it assumes that investors could time the market by betting whether or not the stock would be above/below the strike price at expiration. Studies have shown that investors are pretty bad at timing the markets, because the majority always seems to be selling at the bottom and buying at the top. The strategy also seems inferior because by writing covered calls stockholders are limiting their upside potential, while leaving their downside wide open. You are selling your rising stocks and keeping your losers, while earning some income in the process, which in reality is eroding your capital gains. The psychological weak points of this strategy is that most investors always believe that their stocks would be rising over time, so betting against your own portfolio in terms of covered call selling seems counterintuitive. It also does not eliminate the risk of stock ownership - if a stock declines, investors will still suffer losses, although they would be a little lower due to the premium received.
Another negative for owners of dividend stocks who sell covered calls on their holdings, is that there is always the possibility that the call holder might want to capture the stock's dividend. In that case, the option must be exercised a day before the underlying stock's ex-dividend date. That's the only way for the call holder to purchase underlying shares and be eligible for the dividend. In this case, you might not receive notification that the option has been exercised until the ex-dividend date itself.
In conclusion selling covered calls on dividend stocks could theoretically provide an investor with two potential streams of income from one stock if its price does not increase above their strike price – options premium collected and dividends payments received. If the price increases, the call option will be exercised and the investor must sell his stock at a predetermined price. They won't be able to participate in the stocks upside, unless they buy their stock back, at higher levels. Furthermore the strategy does not protect against declines in prices of the underlying. Just like any strategy involving securities there is always the opportunity for a huge profit if done correctly, or for a huge loss if done incorrectly. Thus an investor will always be better off in the long run if they took those strategies with a grain of salt and do their own due diligence before taking any action, which could impact their finances.

This is a great article. Covered Calls has it's known disadvantages which the author points out very well. But a well disciplined covered call trading strategy can be very profitable and will beat stocks in all but the strongest bull markets. Also, any covered call trader will need some sort of tool to help him make decisions on when to manipulate his positions. A great tool can be downloaded at http://www.coveredcallcalculator.netReplyDelete

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if someone has a strategy of owning the underlying stock and wants to sell a covered call thus holding the stock and call through expiration, the stock must be trading at a higher price at expiration Friday, not during the time interim period in which he is holding the call,for one to be called out of the stock. If the stock is trading at a price below the strike at expiration Friday, one still keeps his underlying stock and has received the call premium. The point being that the stock price on Expiration Friday determines whether one is called out of his stock...not what the stock trades at during the time period between purchasing the call and up-to expiration Friday....Any comments about this?ReplyDelete
It all depends on whether you are selling european or american options.

That's true. I've actually called Schwab to try and initiate an exercise on some shares that were pretty deep in the money. My intent was to get the shares sold now so I could have the $ to reinvest, rather than having to wait until the exp. date. Schwab said the was no way to do that, so unless you want to buy back the calls (at a loss), you just have to wait it out. One thing I've done is buy back the calls and then resell them further out, which basically buys me more time and another premium.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJune 21, 2010 at 10:03 AM
Anonymous is not correct about the exercise of the call. The holder will exercise if the price rises above his strike price, PLUS the call premium (his breakeven point), not just the strike price.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 30, 2010 at 9:31 AM
The thing is you don't know all the different premiums that may have been paid for calls of that precise type. When the options exchange goes to assign open options on expiration day, you could still get assigned the option even if it isn't "in the money" relative to what you were paid for the call.ReplyDelete
If you want to be totally safe against being called out you may want to buy it back before the expiration date.
- AnonymousSeptember 18, 2011 at 11:11 AM
another 'option' is to sell a put option if the underlying stock is rising and close to your strike price. The premiums combined lower your real price paid for the stock. Remember, 80% of options expire worthless.ReplyDelete
"One thing I've done is buy back the calls and then resell them further out, which basically buys me more time and another premium."ReplyDelete
Whoever wrote this clearly has no idea what they are doing. When you sell an option you are receiving money and are taking on an obligation to sell if the owner of the option wishes - in the mean time you hold on to your shares. Whether or not early exercise is ever economically smart for the owner is another story, but you can't call your broker and ask that they exercise the ITM calls you SOLD just so you can free up your capital. Furthermore you bought back the options for a loss (why? to free up your money? Why did you sell the options in the first place then?), then you sold more options with further out expirations to "buy" you more time. Here's a tip, you aren't "buying" yourself anything, you are SELLING time. Selling time that you already sold once, then bought back for a loss, and then are selling again. Maybe you should read some more before you trade options...or maybe I should be happy there are people like you in the market giving their money away. As the saying goes, "A fool and his money..."
- AnonymousDecember 12, 2011 at 1:30 AM
One reason I could see to buy back the options is if the stock has dropped significantly in value, and you dont think its going to rebuild, to can buy to close(perhaps for much less than you sold the options for), and sell calls for the same expiration at a lower strike. its possible to get hurt a little bit, especially if the new strike is lower than you originally paid for the stock. Another reason would be if you think the stick is about to completely fall off a cliff, and you want to get out before that happens. Granted buying a put would be an alternative to this.ReplyDelete

I hooked up with a guy at knob creek from the mg42 board and saw his semi auto vickers he built. He gave me some conversion parts in exchange for some semi auto mg42 parts. I really didn't want to get another project, but I decided to order a vickers kit. It came today in a box oozing grease, I didn't even want to open it, but I did. There was more grease in the box than parts. I set up my my degreaser pot and threw in the parts. after cleaning the grease off and having a closer look at what I bought I fell in love with this thing!
It is an overly complicated diabolical pile of finely machined parts, even more complex than an mg34. Closer inspection revealed that the oroginal finish was intact and except for a bent side plate and bottom cover it looked great. The paint on the water jacket looks perfect. I still need to clean it and the barrel.
I plan on making this more of a restoration project than a straight build, I want to save all the origonal finish where possible, only refinishing the side plates. It is going to be a lot of work, but in the end it will be a really nice gun.

Freshman Courtney Smith threw her first career shutout Wednesday evening against Longwood.
April 18, 2012
Game 1 Box Score | Game 1 Box Score in PDF Format
Game 2 Box Score | Game 2 Box Score in PDF Format
GREENVILLE, N.C. - East Carolina used three big innings to earn a pair of wins over Longwood on Wednesday evening, taking 5-0 and 5-2 victories. In the opener, a two-run pinch-hit single off the bat of junior Cicely Lopez delivered the game-winning tally as the Pirates scored five times in the bottom of the sixth. In the nightcap, three runs in the first inning, on an RBI triple from sophomore Jordan Lewis and two-run home run by senior Suzanne Riggs, and two more in the sixth with a double by sophomore Jasmine Robbins provided ECU (19-25) with its offense. Lewis finished the doubleheader five-for-six with two runs scored and one batted in.
During game one, freshman Courtney Smith (5-10) earned the win, throwing her first career shutout. She blanked the Lancers on just three hits and struck out three without walking a batter. The three hits are tied for the fewest surrendered in a start by Smith this season. Libby Morris (10-12) suffered the loss for the Lancers, allowing five runs, two earned, on nine hits and a walk. She also fanned three in the complete game.
The second contest had freshman Sarah Christian (14-15) pick up the win, throwing all seven innings and giving up two runs, one earned, on five hits. Like Smith, Christian also recorded three strikeouts. Longwood's Ashley Cornell (10-8) was saddled with the loss after throwing six innings and surrendering five runs, four earned, on nine hits and a walk. She threw one wild pitch and tallied three whiffs.
In the opener, the Lancers (26-23) registered the first scoring opportunity in the top of the second inning. Ashley Kramer led off with a single and moved to second on a groundout, but a fly out and groundout left her on the bag.
East Carolina mounted a threat in the bottom of the inning, loading the bases but failing to score. Riggs led off reaching on an error and Lewis followed with a single to put runners on first and second. A sacrifice bunt by senior Priscilla Velasquez moved the pair up a base, but a fielder's choice by sophomore Rebecca Lee resulted in Riggs being thrown out at the plate. With two outs, Robbins was hit by a pitch to fill the bases before a strikeout stranded all three.
The Pirates had another opportunity in the bottom of the third but could not push across a run. Sophomore Jill Jelnick led off with a single to left field, moved to second on a wild pitch and advanced to third on a groundout, but was left on the bag after a foul out and groundout.
ECU left two more on base in the bottom of the fifth to keep the game scoreless. Sophomore Chelsea Kaluhiokalani-Glackin led off working a walk on an eight-pitch at-bat. Jelnick moved her to second with a sacrifice bunt and sophomore Kristi Oshiro singled off the glove of Morris to put runners on the corners with one out. Oshiro stole second base, but consecutive groundouts kept the pair on base.
In the bottom of the sixth, the Pirates broke through with all five of the game's runs. Lewis led off with her season-high, and career-high-matching, third hit of the contest, singling up the middle. Velasquez's third sacrifice bunt of the game moved Lewis to second and she went to third on a single by Lee. With runners on the corners, Robbins sent a check swing grounder back to Morris, who threw to first, but Courtney Long dropped the ball to load the bases with one out. Lopez stepped in as the pinch hitter and sent the first pitch down the right-field line for a single that brought in Lewis and Lee. After a strikeout, Oshiro singled up the middle to drive in Robbins and Kaluhiokalani-Glackin, who had re-entered to run for Lopez. Sophomore Alex Fieldhouse made it a five-run advantage with a double to right center that plated Oshiro before Morris' second strikeout of the frame ended the inning.
Smith completed the shutout in the seventh, allowing only one base runner. Kramer reached on a throwing error by Fieldhouse at third base to open the inning, but a pair of fly outs around a fielder's choice ended the game.
In the second game, Longwood jumped on the Pirates for a run in the top of the first with the help of three consecutive ECU errors. Leta Bressin started the contest reaching on a throwing error by Christian. She advanced to second on a Kori Nishitomi bunt single and to third when Fieldhouse's throw was wide and got away from Oshiro, who was covering first. With Megan Baltzell at the plate, Nishitomi took off for second and catcher Lee's throw sailed into center field, allowing Bressin to score. Baltzell moved Nishitomi to third with a sacrifice bunt, but Christian got out of trouble with a groundout and strikeout.
The Pirates responded in the bottom of the frame with three runs to go ahead 3-1. Jelnick led off with a single and, after a foul out, went to second on a wild pitch. Lopez flew out to the warning track in center, allowing Jelnick to move to third. Lewis came through with a two-out triple, the first of her career, to right center, bringing in Jelnick. Riggs followed with a two-run homer to left, putting ECU up a pair. Cornell ended the frame catching a line drive off the bat of Velasquez.
After the first two Longwood batters reached base, Christian did not allow another until Leigh Sexton singled to center field with two outs in the fifth inning, a span of 14-straight batters retired. Christian promptly ended the frame with a fly out to Lewis in right field.
ECU did not manage much off Cornell following the first inning as the team had just two runners get to second base until the bottom of the sixth, when the Pirates added two more runs to go up 5-1. Riggs led off with a double and Velasquez reached on a fielding error. A sacrifice bunt by sophomore Abby Wynne moved both up a base before Robbins ripped a double to left, bringing home the pair. After a strikeout, Jelnick singled to center, advancing Robbins to third, but a fly out to left by Oshiro ended the inning.
In the top of the seventh, the Lancers scored once before Christian ended the contest. Kramer and Jordan Cox hit consecutive singles to start the frame. Long struck out swinging before Sexton hit into a fielder's choice, leaving runners on the corners with two down. With Brittney Latka at the plate, Sexton took off for second base and got caught in a rundown between first and second. Sexton slid safely back into first and Kramer came home during the play. Christian ended the game with a Latka groundout to Oshiro.
East Carolina remains at home for this weekend's Conference USA series with Southern Miss (12-24, 4-11 C-USA). The teams play a doubleheader Saturday, which will be Youth Day, starting at 1:00 p.m. with the finale set for 12:00 p.m. Sunday. The Pirates have won the last seven meetings with the Golden Eagles.
Post-Game Notes
-- Freshman Courtney Smith earned the victory in back-to-back starts for the first time in her career as she also won Sunday at Houston.
-- In Smith's last six starts, she has gone 3-2 with a 2.87 earned run average. In her previous six starts, she went 0-4 with a 12.39 ERA.
-- Freshman Sarah Christian earned her 14th victory, tied for the fifth most in a year by a rookie in program history. Toni Paisley holds the freshman record with 21 wins in 2007.
-- Sophomore Alex Fieldhouse's double in the first game extended her hitting streak to a career-high-matching six games.
-- In the last five contests, Fieldhouse has tallied four runs batted in after going 18 consecutive games without an RBI.
-- Senior Priscilla Velasquez put down her 10th, 11th and 12th sacrifice bunts of the season in the opener to take over the team and Conference USA lead from sophomore Kristi Oshiro. Velasquez had nine sacrifice bunts through her first three seasons.
-- Velasquez's three sacrifice hits in the opener tied the Conference USA single-game record, shared by nine players, including Oshiro, who had three March 18, 2012, at Tulsa.
-- East Carolina scored six runs with two outs during the doubleheader. In the last three games, the Pirates have pushed across 11 runs with two down.
-- Pirate associate head coach Natalie Kozlowski recorded the 475th victory of her East Carolina career with the triumph in the opener.
-- ECU finished the 2012 nonconference regular season with a 14-15 record. A year ago, the squad went 22-10 in nonleague action.
-- The Pirates have gone 11-5 this season inside the ECU Softball Stadium. Since the facility opened last year, East Carolina has a 31-16 record (.660 winning percentage) at home.

ZF-11511: no support to extra plugins like ordinary plugins
the class Zend_Dojo_Form_Element_Editor has ordinary plugins operations but doesn't allow us to use similar methods for extra ones.
extra plugins are part of {{dijit.editor}} component as can be seen here: http://dojotoolkit.org/reference-guide/dijit/…
suggested additions to class {{Zend_Dojo_Form_Element_Editor}} and suggested test units for being add to class {{Zend_Dojo_Form_Element_EditorTest}} can be found attached.
the fix for this depends on ZF-5711
Patches applied to trunk. As this provides new features, I have not merged into the 1.11 release branch. If we do a 1.12 release branch, the features will be incorporated; I will also clone the issue to the ZF2 project so that the support will be pushed upstream.

Budget travelers are best off basing themselves downtown, though you can score last-minute deals at the big resorts if you're willing to stay in an 'unrenovated' room. Midrange travelers and families will find good-value rooms at classic resorts on the Strip, from the Flamingo to Mandalay Bay; if money's no object, splurge on one of the over-the-top suites at the Wynn or CityCenter.

Reviews for Slow-Cooked Pork & Beans
"While I loved the mix of beans, this recipe had way too much vinegar for me."
"These beans had a fairly good flavor to them though I am not a lover of vinegar and forgot to adjust that to my taste and followed the recipe exactly; therefore, I didn't enjoy them that much. I also only have an 8 qt. crock pot and by the time my ribs were done on the grill, the beans were dried out. I'll try this again making the adjustment in both flavor and time."
"My aunt made these for Christmas and my husband loved them so I made them for Mother's Day and everyone loved them. They are a little on the sweet side for me but I'm fussy that way. So quick to throw together."
"These beans are so good every one wants the recipe. I made thes several time ,this is a keeper. Maryjayne"
"This very simple slow cooker recipe makes the most delicious pork and beans. Make it for a crowd, or you will be eating leftovers for a week, but it is SO GOOD."

Authorities say the Hot Springs Police Department was evacuated for about two hours after a resident brought in a suspected pipe bomb.
Cpl. McCrary Means says a man brought the device into the police station on Malvern Avenue shortly before 9:30 a.m. Monday. Means tells the Sentinel-Record (http://is.gd/KffXSn ) that all police employees were evacuated while the device was left in the parking lot out front.
Police say the man found the device near the Historic Downtown Farmers and Artists Market.
Authorities say the device was a 12- to 14-inch piece of copper pipe sealed at both ends with what appeared to be wires attached.
Police say a bomb squad disarmed the device later Monday morning. The device was sent to the Arkansas State Crime Laboratory in Little Rock for analysis.

Bayhealth-Kent General and Milford Memorial are adapting hospital facilities to meet the local community's increased need for care.
Making more inpatient beds available and increasing staff are two of the initiatives currently underway. Bayhealth has prepared for this year's flu season by requiring physicians, employees, volunteers, and contractors to get the vaccine, or wear a surgical mask in patient areas. More than 95 percent of Bayhealth employees received this year's vaccine
Bayhealth is asking for assistance from the community during this time. If you wish to visit patients at Kent General or Milford Memorial:
• Visitors should receive approval from nursing before entering a patient room.
• Only immediate family should visit.
• No one under 18 years of age should visit.
• Visitors should disinfect hands using the gel dispenser located inside each patient care unit as they enter and exit.

STANFORD, Calif.- There will be no shortage of matches later this weekend at the Taube Family Tennis Stadium, as both teams combine to play three matches over three days.
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
No. 1 Stanford (4-0, 0-0 Pac-12) continues to cruise along, coming off a sweep in its first road trip of the year. After defeating No. 17 Texas 6-1, the Cardinal followed up with a 5-2 victory at No. 22 Rice. Since Stanford does not participate in the National Team Indoor Championships, the matches against Texas and Rice serve as quality non-conference tune-ups before the start of Pac-12 play.
Stanford, which has also registered shutouts over UC Davis and No. 69 Princeton, next squares off against No. 37 Saint Mary's on Saturday at 12 p.m.
Last February, the Cardinal suffered a rare 4-3 loss to Saint Mary's, representing only the third time Stanford had been beaten on its home court since 1999. Stanford was also competing without the services of Nicole Gibbs in that match, but Saint Mary's has greatly improved in recent years and enters this week's contest at 2-1.
Kristie Ahn has paced the Cardinal, compiling a 16-1 overall record and holding down the No. 1 spot in both singles and doubles. Ahn has also been named Pac-12 Player of the Week for her performance against Texas and Rice, earning the honor for the second time in three weeks.
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
No. 38 Stanford (3-1, 0-0 Pac-12) is in the middle of a stretch that features six consecutive home matches. The Cardinal will need every advantage possible when No. 3 USC (Friday, 1:30 p.m.) and No. 2 UCLA (Sunday, 12 p.m.) visit The Farm this weekend.
That being said, the Cardinal has already passed its first test against quality competition, coming away with a split two weeks ago in Athens, Ga., during ITA Kick-Off Weekend. Stanford defeated No. 36 Washington 4-2 for its ninth straight win in the series before hanging tough in a 4-1 loss to No. 3 Georgia on its home court.
Stanford has played its last two matches without John Morrissey at the No. 1 spot, resulting in shuffled lineups against Georgia and Hawai'i. That's because Morrissey was busy gaining valuable experience, representing Ireland in Davis Cup competition.
A few players have stepped up their game in Morrissey's absence. Anthony Tsodikov won a three-setter to provide the clinching point against Washington while Maciek Romanowicz upset No. 12 Austin Smith at the No. 2 position to account for Stanford's only scoring in the loss to Georgia.

Teaparties, Tutus and Baby Dolls (45 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
The party concept started from what she loves to do most in the whole wide world and that's have a tea party with her dolls, in fact anything with her dolls. She loves dolls! After settling on the theme, I searched high and low for an invitation that would capture the spirit of the party. To my surprise there is very little out there that captures the pretend play element of little girls having a tea party with their dolls. AndersRuff to the rescue!!! The only thing I knew for sure were the colors I wanted- hot pink, light turquoise and yellow. I then wanted to incorporate the classic silhouette design. Adria created a silhouette likeness of Cailey and worked with me to perfect the invitation and other party printables based on the concept. I can't say enough good things about Adria and AndersRuff. They are such talented ladies. Hi Adria!
I wanted to create three different spaces for the party - a tea party area for the girls, a tea party area for the dolls and a dressing area. Over the course of four months I gathered teacups, teapots, and knick knacks but one of my favorite finds was a child's vanity found on Craigslist that was covered in various layers of nail polish and stickers. I was able to sand and repaint it. The vanity was the perfect display for the faux pearl necklaces, bracelets, rings and the frame with my new favorite quote, "Happy Girls are the Prettiest". I provided hot pink tutu's and white tank tops to each of the girls. I was elated to stumble upon flower pins in the dollar bin at Michael's which look absolutely adorable on the girls' shirts. Since guests were requested to BYOD (Bring Your Own Doll), it was important to me that the dolls play a major role in the party and incorporating the matching tutus and shirts for the dolls was a HUGE hit! I even had miniature birthday hats made for the dolls that mimicked the hats for the girls.
I was able to complete one DIY project and that was the crepe paper rosette ball. It adds a bright pop of yellow to the table and I love the way it turned out.
