The options market has found this to be an enjoyable earnings season.
Bullish call options are unusually inexpensive, and stock prices are making unusually large moves in reaction to corporate earnings reports.

Those extraordinary returns accrued to investors who bought calls anywhere from a few days to two weeks prior to earnings; 18% is the average gain this earnings season for call trades bought on stocks whose prices were trailing both their sectors and the Standard & Poor's 500 index.
Goldman is telling clients that this looks like one of the top three quarters for call buying in the past 40 years. Aggressive investors have four trades to consider this week on stocks lagging behind their sectors and the S&P 500 index by more than 3% over the past two weeks.

"In a low-volatility environment, the stock market tends to rise 60% of the time because low-volatility environments reflect the early innings of animal spirits," Strugger explains. "Low volatility historically equals higher stock returns."
Indeed, the CBOE Volatility Index, the primary measure of options volatility, has collapsed from about 20 at year's end, to about 14, indicating that the implied volatility of options on S&P 500 index options, and component stocks, is inexpensive. Low volatility lets investors buy call options without paying a "greed premium."
Now, as many stocks rally on earnings, or in apparent belief that the credit-crisis hangover has ended, call buyers—rather than the call and put sellers who dominated the market in the past four years -- are out in force.
Mean reversion, which suggests that stocks whose prices have trailed their peers or the market will eventually return to their historical levels, is also a key factor animating call buying, especially around earnings reports. Goldman's analysts have come to believe that nervousness ahead of catalysts such as earnings reports prompts investors to sell laggard stocks. But if those companies report better-than-expected earnings, those same investors will buy back their shares, and new investors attracted by rising prices will follow them.
Of course, bad economic data could disrupt "call-a-poolaza" and send stocks lower. But these are short-term trades, and the most you can lose is the money paid for the calls, which tends to be relatively small. Besides, you have to be in it to win it.

Police: Crash injures passengers
RANDOLPH A woman suffered life-threatening injuries and a Barre man received serious facial injuries in a one-vehicle crash in Randolph on Sunday morning after which the driver ran from the scene, Vermont State Police said.
Kyle Larrabee, 19, of Roxbury, was cited on charges of driving under the influence resulting in a serious injury, gross negligent operation resulting in a serious injury, leaving the scene of an accident and driving with a suspended license.
State police say the crash occurred at the intersection of Windover Road and Route 66 around 4 a.m. when Larrabee crashed the 1993 Ford F-150 he was driving into the guardrails after failing to make a turn at the intersection.
State police say two passengers suffered serious injuries. Eric Parker, 21, was taken to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, N.H., with facial injuries and a female passenger, whose name and age were not released, was taken to Dartmouth-Hitchcock with life-threatening injuries.
Larrabee is being held on $25,000 bail and is scheduled to appear in Orange County criminal court Tuesday at 8 a.m. to answer the charges.MORE IN Central VermontBERLIN It has been all work in the run-up to Labor Day at the soon-to-open cedar-sided building...

Nothing special but not a problem
Overall, Rowan's WiFi is decent. The computers available in the labs are out of date but they work just as well as any new ones. Printing is at a fair price plus students are given printing credits so it really isn't bad at all.
Some of the computers are out of date and wireless can be slow
I rarely use the campus computer since I have my own.
Old computers, except one mac lab.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
If you are an Internet fiend who is on your computer at all times, you might find yourself in a fix when the network goes down. But you can take solace in the fact that the network is hardly ever down at Rowan. Facebookers and Tweeters unite in the convenience of computers on campus. Oh yeah, and the academic researchers love it, as well. If you don't have a computer, chances are you don't fit into any of the previous categories, and that's OK—it just means you're more into reality as opposed to virtual reality.
For students who only need a computer every once in a while or only go online to complete their final paper, Rowan's computer access is impressive. The Mimosa computer lab, located on the first floor of the Mimosa dorm, is a convenient alternative and is hardly ever filled with people, which means students can get in and get out. Other than Mimosa, there is a computer lab in almost every building to which students have access. When it comes time to print, a student's Rowan ID card allows $15 of free printing in any of the computer labs. Each page costs 2 cents, so you will probably not have to pay for printing any time soon. Also, Rowan has a talented staff of computer tech personnel, so help is abundant if needed.

Heriberto Perez scammed me by telling and showing me an electrical permit that he had gotten from Orange County Florida's Department of Building Safety to do a commercial job for another person. That electrical permit was permit number E12009522, issued 10/23/2012. He has gotten that permit from Orange County Florida, even while his electrical license was delinquent.
Once Heriberto Perez showed me that he had gotten an electrical permit from Orange County Florida to do a commercial electrical job, I thought that his license was good. After he failed to show up on several days and times that he had specified to do the work I decided to check his license again and found it continued to be delinquent.
I then contacted Orange County Florida's Building Safety Department on 10/29/2012 and after several hours I was told that he should not have gotten the E12009522 permit and that they would rescind his permit. I was conned by Heriberto Perez to sign a contract using an unknown invalid permit from Orange County Building Safety Department.
I am still out my $1000 and do not know how the Orange County Building Safety Department will issue an electrical permit to someone with a delinquent license. I have been the loser here, primarily due to Heriberto Perez, who was aided by Orange County Florida's Building Safety Department.

A new therapeutic strategy for treating Huntington's disease patients that is based on small interfering RNA (siRNA) could have fewer side effects than earlier approaches (Chem. Biol., DOI: 10.1016/j.chembiol.2010.10.013). The technique uses designed synthetic RNAs that behave counterintuitively: They work better when modified to interact less efficiently with their intended targets.
If it can be replicated in vivo, the work could lead to therapies for Huntington's disease and similar conditions that result from genetic mutations . . .

Looking back at 8 Plano-Murphy-Wylie community headlines in 2013
The garden at Community Unitarian Universalist Church in Plano has changed and grown over the years. Core members have kept it flourishing with about 25 plots. When Deb Bliss and fellow members of the church first got together to build a community garden about eight years ago, the idea was to address hunger and offer land to people that didn't have their own way of growing a garden. With a $35-a-year membership for a 4-by-16 foot plot of land, gardeners have access to tools and garden supplies as needed.

Skip to comments.Sulzberger's last straw: Fires Jill Abramson for misleading him about a new hire
Posted on 05/18/2014 6:51:47 AM PDT by SeekAndFind
New York Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger fired executive editor Jill Abramson after concluding that she had misled both him and chief executive Mark Thompson during her effort to hire a new co-managing editor, according to two sources with knowledge of the reason for her termination.
While several factors contributed to Sulzbergers frustration with Abramsons management of the newsroom, the sources, who are sympathetic to the Times management, said it was this incident that sealed her fate.
In conversations and emails, Abramson led both Sulzberger and Thompson to believe that she had consulted with other newsroom leaders about her decision to offer The Guardians Janine Gibson a job as co-managing editor, the sources said. Specifically, they said she implied that both Dean Baquet, her managing editor, and Janet Elder, the deputy managing editor responsible for newsroom resources and staff development, had been informed and were on board with the plan.
(Excerpt) Read more at politico.com ...
I think she didn't bow down and lick Pinch's toes sufficiently. He knows zero about running a business, but he doesn't like to be reminded of that.
Poor baby
Culture of Corruption at NYT.
Bossy chick got fired by boss. End of story. Who the hell cares?
Assistant Managing Editor, Deputy Managing Editor, Assistant to the Deputy Managing Editor, Assistant to the Assistant Managing Editor, etc. I think if Sulzberger hired me as the General Manager I could cut the bottom line dramatically.
News about MSM people of interest to MSM people.
she sounds like a frickin nightmare
The democrats war on women continues.
Wonder if Jill's opinion of affirmative action has changed, now that she's the "minority" that got bumped .
Like so many "womens libbers", Jill had a caricature image of what a man should be and how she could compete.
All snarl. Always a badass, never a buddy.
Each day she stomped into the news room with fangs barred: an Alpha male to dominate all the metrosexual men at the Times
She barred her fangs at Pinch and got punched.
Strangely enough, during her tenure, I noticed that the print edition was getting a little more interesting. I actually saw a couple of articles (features) that did not cling to the radical leftist line. I don't read the daily paper very often, only a few weeks of the year when I'm in New York, but it seemed to me that there was a little more "diversity" (of the right kind) creeping in. Then again, maybe I was hallucinating...
If true, however, I doubt that he liked that either.
Carlos Slim should sell the NY Times and buy the LA Clippers. Less drama.
The media and liberal elite have gotten their panties in a twist over this because it's real life soap opera involving "people like us." As we all know, there nothing the media loves more than a chance to cover itself.
They are talking about her now on Meet the Depressed. It is all because she was a woman not because she sucked at her job.
She is being portrayed as a victim.
She was also probably bitchy. There are, oh so many ways to say something/anything without driving in the nails. Doncha think?
The world cares because it SEEMS that any/everything MUST be put on the Internet. And then we must ALL WEEP, CRY, TEAR OUR HAIR. SO many people need a life.
Communists eating communists.
You gotta love this stuff.
Pop some more popcorn....
More a slap with the back of the wrist, I reckon.
RE: Carlos Slim should sell the NY Times and buy the LA Clippers.
Now, why didn't I think of that?
The question is will Sterling sell?
Because the Slimes isn't left-wing enough.
She's a victim of her own arrogance. Pride IS the first of the seven deadly sins.
Review: pride, covetousness, lust, anger, gluttony, envy, sloth.
But she allegedly was fired for "hiring" somebody from The Guardian.
That's a disconnect from your observations.
(I had thought The Guardian was making sense for a very brief period, too, and when it went back to total leftist, I assumed they terminated the one employee that lived in the real world.)
The newsroom from hell!!!
Their newsroom is full of gays and feminazis. Can you imaging the vicious gossip, infighting and backstabbing that must go on.
Pinch knew exactly what he was getting when her hired her 3 years ago.
This is just damage control for Sulzberger and the Leftist elites.
Now that the impudent skank got thrown out of the club, she has to be villified so that the decision is seen as righteous.
So they pillory her for the traits they hired her for.
! Good post!
I'm with you. Who cares. Let them eat their own.
If she sucked at her job, she might have moved up the ladder a little further! lol
As discredited as it has become all of the MSM still look up to the NYT.
I've always found their open involvement with themselves and each other amazing.
They will obsess over "a journalist" being killed in some war, much more than a local innocent.
Despite the fact that the journalists choose to put themselves into harm's way by going into the warzone in pursuit of their career. And the local child didn't.
This ties in with their apparent belief that they cause reality to come into existence by reporting it.
Full CYA mode. Hoisted on their own feminist-propaganda petard.
The Guardian is very leftist, but at least they have a few intelligent leftist writers. And there will occasionally be somebody with a different point of view.
Maybe she just wanted more intelligence in the newsroom?
Basquet strikes me as a typical black leftist dim bulb who only got ahead for his politics and his color. And he's "nice" until you diverge from the line.
"she sounds like a frickin nightmare"
Sounds and is. Her sistory (not a mispelling) is legendary, as is her left wing adulation of The Clintons.

A story that didn't give Obama regime a pass made it into the Times and was posted some time last week here in FR's. Anybody worth their salt in the position she held knows the Times is having a cred problem particularly with its drastic and deserved drop in circ because of its of calcimine coverage. While a hire from The (UK's) Guardian isn't exactly The Telegraph it's better than The Daily Mail. This aint over with. Let's see what shakes down.
Whatever the truth is, it is amusing to see liberals boiling in a pot of their hipocrisy.
Has anyone considered that the Abramson firing is connected to Hillary? Maybe Jill was insufficiently enthusiastic about Hill. Women with a little power usually hate each other.
Interesting take. Never read the Times, so unfamiliar on how they have covered the old shrew.
I'll bet a weeks pay Pinch was "placed on notice" by the White Hut to dump her. If Pinch keeps changing his story here, he's going to be as bad a liar as Zippy.
Just a thought based on all the leftist dailies giving free subscriptions during presidential election campaigns.
Unreported campaign contributions to the Democrat Party. Free advertising.
I would think she would be happy to be free from "job lock". Now she can go and pursue her creative side.
He's rich enough to own both.
This woman co wrote a nasty book on Clarence Thomas.
A fitting ending for her high profile job.
She was incompetent and replaced by a minority male.
What goes around comes around.
If Abramson was as cavalier as described, she had no business being promoted to the post in the first place. If Pinch was as unaware as described, he's out of touch with the organization he's ultimately responsible for running.
The Times comes off as a place that is run by personalities committed to their own goals, not professional managers committed to the product.
I doubt any of this comes as a surprise to any objective Times watcher...

Natural Resources Board shows strengths with decisions
Madison — The Natural Resources Board on Wednesday voted down a bobcat management proposal and heard plans for a Wisconsin deer and forest research project.
On their face, the two agenda items don't have much in common. But the board's involvement in each helped illustrate the value of the body.
For those who don't know, the NRB is a seven-member citizen board that oversees the Department of Natural Resources.
Its members are appointed by the governor and approved by the Senate. Three members are selected from northern Wisconsin, three from the south, one "at large." Each serves a six-year term.
The board has been in place since 1967, when the DNR was formed in a merger of the state's Conservation Department and Department of Resource Development.
Until 1995, the board hired the DNR secretary. Gov. Tommy Thompson changed the agency's head to a political appointee and subsequent governors have seen fit to keep it that way. Gov. Jim Doyle vetoed a bill that would have restored the board's ability to name the DNR leader.
Though the board's power has been diminished since 1995, it remains a critical part of Wisconsin's conservation process.
Wednesday's meeting provided the most recent examples.
Exhibit A was a proposal to make bobcat harvest permits valid statewide. The idea was advanced to the board at the urging of the Assembly Committee on Natural Resources and the Wisconsin Bear Hunters' Association.
However it differed from a rule approved in December by the board. That rule established northern and southern bobcat zones and zone-specific permits and harvest quotas.
The board's rule had gone through a multiyear process of public hearings and Wisconsin Conservation Congress meetings. It had the support of the Wisconsin Wildlife Federation, Wisconsin Trappers Association and congress.
As the bobcat population has expanded in recent years, state wildlife officials have been carefully developing ways to increase opportunities for hunters and trappers, especially in southern Wisconsin.
But the public had never been presented with the idea of bobcat tags being valid statewide.
The idea was opposed Wednesday by the Wisconsin Wildlife Federation and Wisconsin Trappers Association. The groups cited the years of work and good faith to develop the rule approved in December.
"My concern is we are always working very hard to be transparent," said board member Jane Wiley. "There was no public hearing on this. We've had no one talk to us about it today. I see no way we can support this."
The board voted unanimously against the proposal.
The second example Wednesday showed the board's role in providing a forum for discussion and ensuring public awareness of DNR programs.
As recommended in the Deer 2000 process and the 2012 Deer Trustee Report, the DNR has been working on a deer and forest research project.
The idea is to study "deer impacts on the forest and the forest's impacts on deer," said Karl Martin, DNR's science services manager.
The project would use nine enclosures on about 1,000 acres in the Northern Highland-American Legion State Forest in Vilas County. The number of deer and type of forestry techniques would be controlled in each enclosure.
At what deer density does plant regeneration get thwarted? How do different stem counts affect deer fitness, fawn production, winter survival and antler development?
The study would be the first of its kind, Martin said, and could include many partners, including the University of Wisconsin and national conservation and health groups.
The project would run for 30 years; public access to the enclosures would be restricted.
The DNR approved funding for the project in 2010, and the board approved the work last year as part of a revised master plan for the forest. The project is scheduled to begin later this year with trees marked for harvest.
However, the project did not receive much publicity until a March 5 article by Ken Anderson in the Vilas County News-Review.
Concerns were raised by Vilas County residents and others, including the lack of public access to land purchased under the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program. Many people also wanted to know why they didn't know more about the project.
The board opted to add it as an informational item on its Wednesday agenda.
Martin and DNR Secretary Cathy Stepp acknowledged the department should have done more last year to make the public aware of the plans.
"I think the project has a lot of merit," Stepp said. "I think the public deserves to be able to dig into that."
The board didn't decide Wednesday on the next step. It could include bringing a portion of the forest's master plan back to public hearings. Or the DNR could hold meetings specifically on the project to collect more input.
In either case, the deer and forest research project is going to be elevated to a higher profile and receive greater public input due to the board process.
The research has great potential to benefit deer hunters, land owners and foresters. I'm hopeful the process will result in a site selection and study design that offers success on all fronts. Among ideas discussed Wednesday were allowing public access to the study area or conducting the work on private property.
Next month the board begins an annual tradition of holding several monthly meetings away from Madison. The May meeting is in Green Bay, June in Milwaukee and August in Hayward.
Natural resource management gets more challenging all the time. The additional visibility and oversight given to Wisconsin conservation issues by the NRB has never been more important.
Wisconsinites should take note.

Senate panel advances high school testing bill
A House bill that would revamp high school graduation standards and testing requirements was sent to the full Senate on Tuesday. The Senate Education Committee approved the measure after making several revisions that mirrored earlier Senate legislation on testing and graduation standards. The Senate version reduces the number of tests that students must pass to graduate – from 15 to 5 – although it includes English I along with English II, Algebra I, biology and U.S. history. The House bill did not include English I and divided English II into separate reading and writing exams.
As the panel began considering the bill, Senate Education Committee Chairman Dan Patrick, R-Houston, defended the changes and disputed criticism from business groups and others that the legislation is weakening standards in high school. "We are not reducing accountability and rigor, and do not intend to do so," he said. "Nothing could be further from the truth." But Texas Association of Business President Bill Hammond and other business representatives said they are concerned that the new requirements will leave many students without the skills they need to succeed in college or a career. "Our goal is an educated work force. We want to make sure more students are ready to succeed after high school," Hammond said.
One amendment sponsored by Patrick on Tuesday would require all students to take the ACT or SAT college entrance exam in their junior year in high school, with the state picking up the cost. Patrick said the exams can be financed with savings from eliminating 10 of the 15 end-of-course tests for high school students. Both the House and Senate proposals would replace current graduation standards with a new system that would allow students to select one of multiple paths – or "endorsements" – to graduation. Those include arts and humanities, business and industry, and science and math. Differences between the House and Senate on course requirements in each area will have to be resolved once the full Senate passes the legislation. The Senate Education Committee approved the bill on a 7-0 vote, with two Democratic senators abstaining – Royce West of Dallas and Leticia Van de Putte of
San Antonio.

NEWPORT, R.I. ��Former Providence Mayor Joseph Paolino is moving ahead with other investors to buy�the Newport Grand�slots parlor, a facility threatened by the expansion of gambling in Massachusetts.
Monday morning, Paolino announced he and developers Peter de Savary and Paul Roiff have signed a purchase-and-sales agreement to buy the slots parlor from longtime owner Diane S. Hurley and her partners.
The investment trio won�t move forward with a purchase unless it has permission to install table games in the former jai alai fronton overlooking the Pell Bridge and the East Passage of Narragansett Bay.
Operating table games would require approval of referenda both in Newport and the state, something which failed in 2012.
Allowing table games, such as blackjack and roulette, at Newport Grand�won statewide approval that year with 67 percent of voters in favor of the expansion. But local voters also had to approve the changeover. Newport residents rejected it, with about 4,200 voting no and about 3,650 voting yes.
Twin River in Lincoln did win approval for table games in the same voting.
Paolino and his partners now will push to get a table game referendum for Newport Grand placed on the November ballot, according to this morning�s announcement.

I just despise untruths made by people who try to take My hard earned money! But this I can tell you, I'm a professional and there is nothing professional about what I've witnessed on this company! They do not answer phones and when i called at 11:30 p.m. a recording told me to leave a message that all operators were busy helping other associates...lol! Gimme a break

By the way, Procard International must have a paid position for constantly monitoring these complaints. Writing rebuttals is apparently an essential part of their occupation. Procard can afford to spend so much time here because they don't have a legitimate business to attend to.
What makes them the crooks they are and deserving of contempt is how they have no conscience against financially hurting well-meaning people who are struggling to survive, by stealing what little money they have and waisting their time, not to mention causing them torment and mental anguish.

AUTHOR: Jennifer - (U.S.A.)

I have been working with Procard for about 3 years now and totally love it! I have 2 small children at home and this allows me to earn an income and be with them at the same time!
I have been working in their Local Discounts division for about 6 or 7 month's now as well - in addition to the referral rewards - which I can do entirely at my own pace and during my own hours as it is all emailing and following up....
As I read the comment above, from Wayne, I wonder why this company would not have just called, emailed, written, etc....to just have them send the missing sticker?? I have received info in the mail before, as I am sure everyone else on the planet has also -- but just called and whatever was missing, was sent...no big deal. I would never imagine claiming any of those companies are "scamming me" in any way -- something was just left out....it happens!!
I have submitted over 40 businesses recently and have never had a problem-- but if there is a problem - this company has always been there 24/7 to fix it, give me the correct info, etc...depending on what the issue is.... It appears from the response issued by the company that they did not receive any notice that a sticker was missing -- just accusations that they were ripping someone off because something was inadvertantly missing??? How can anyone correct a situation if they are not made aware of it - especially such a simple error,which could have been easily taken care of right away...???? This is ver confusing to me and frustrating that this info is allowed to be posted when it seems so irrational and could possibly give anyone looking to work with Procard a negative impression (although if anyone reads it - I surely don't see how they would not realize the actual situation here and how outrageous it is....)
I love working with procard - and if anyone has any direct questions for me - they can contact me directly - email@example.com. I have only had good experiences and it has absolutely been a pleasure to work with their entire staff.
Have a great day all....

Regarding Wayne's comment
AUTHOR: Jane - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, September 08, 2004POSTED: Wednesday, September 08, 2004
Our office has received basically this information you posted here in an email from you when you cancelled and made these specific comments regarding the missing sticker in question.
At the time we did send you an apology email stating the fact that those packets to businesses who promote their services via our FREE network are stuffed by hand and occasionally an error will occur. Although, as we informed you previously, we have not had a business contact us as of yet regarding any missing stickers. Had they - we just would have simply mailed them one....not a problem at all!
Our office had no knowledge of a business being upset by a missing sticker until you had sent an email to us with the same information and tone as your posting here alleging we are trying to rip off a company by not including the sticker - that would never be our intention, and it obviously never would be our intention. These allegations were the first report to us not an email stating that the sticker was missing and to replace it but these allegations listed above??
The name of this business has not still been sent to us, although they do have all of the information to contact us so I trust if they need a sticker that was inadvertently missing, they would contact us to allow us to fix the error and simply mail them a sticker for their business.
Our Local Discounts division does allow businesses all over the country to advertise their business, where they can post a listing and change their promotion/advertisement info at anytime they wish. They do in fact receive a sticker for their door, window, counter, etc.to promote the use of the discount to their current customers.
We would look forward to helping this business by sending them a replacement sticker!
Have a great day,

Raja Huli Beats Arrambam-Krrish 3 At Bangalore Box Office
Yash starrer Raja Huli, which was released on Kannada Rajyotsava (Nov 1) all over the state, is getting rave reviews from the critics and audience. The actor's much anticipated movie has struck gold in Bangalore Box Office.
In spite of tough competition from Tamil flick Arrambam and Bollywood movie Krrish 3, Kannada movie Raja Huli is successful enough to attract the crowd. The movie is the remake of Tamil hit Sundarapandian.
Bangalore Mirror (BM) has reported that the first week collection of Raja Huli is Rs 4.5 crore and the gross collection of the movie by end of Thursday was Rs 7 crore. It is said that the movie is a record for both Yash and producer Gandgugali K Manju aka Kobri Manju.
Speaking to the daily, producer Manju said, "It is a record-breaking collection. I never expected the film to do so well. There has not been a single negative opinion about the film so far." Raja Huli distributor Jayanna, who was also the distributor of Yash's previous movie Googly, has said that the movie might end up collecting 20% more at the end.
With the back to back success of Drama, Googly and Raja Huli, Yash is likely to become next Box Office Sultan in Sandalwood after Challenging Star Darshan. Continue reading the story on slides...

Community and forum dedicated to the books and films of the J.R.R. Tolkien series
Welcome Ithilien, beautiful name. What part of New York were you living in ? At any rate we hope you will feel very much at home and share all that is in your heart about this place, our awesome Professor Tokien and his works of genius.
Greetings, Ithilien, and welcome to PT! It seems that, though new to the site, you are certainly not new to Middle-Earth. The Hobbit is one of my favorite books of all time, not just of Tolkien. Well, I hope you stay a while and enjoy it here, and share whatever's on your mind!
Thank guys for the lovely welcome! Leelee, I'm originally from Brooklyn. Though I miss it sometimes, I'm glad to be where I am!
Looking forward to exploring the forum! :D
Welcome Ithilien!
Thanks, Elbereth!
Dear Ithilien, I am sorry I couldn't welcome you properly in my last post. I run out of time lately... but always find a couple of minutes to come to PT and see what's new?
How had you dealt with the change from NY to UK? That's a big change, not only for the distance but culture of course. Well, now you can visit the places Mr. Tolkien saw during his life. That can be a fantastic weekend travel!
Enjoy your time in PT!
Hello Elbereth! It has been a significant change from life in New York. I've always thought of England as my second home and I simply love it here.
I have been wandering around Tolkien's old haunts (forgive the pun) quite often, as I'm only a good walk away from where he studied and worked, had his writing group (at the Eagle and Child pub) and even where he's buried.
I'm glad I found this site. It really is a lovely place!
Welcome to all who are new to PT, I have not been able to come on for a while but I hope you stay and enjoy!

If We Must Die
by Claude McKay
If We Must Die Theme of Honor
Honor runs throughout the other themes of "If We Must Die," and it is the underlying idea of the poem. The speaker feels that on his side are the "good guys," because they are honorable men and will only fight honorably. The fact is, they are not fighting for survival; they already know they will die. They will fight honorably so that their death will not be meaningless, and so that, maybe, their enemy will honor them in death.
Questions About Honor
- Does honor allow the speaker any options besides fighting back?
- How is honor a masculine characteristic in the poem?
- What does the speaker value as honorable?
- What about the enemies is dishonorable?
Chew on This
The speaker values many things as honorable, including revenge, some forms of death, unshakable bravery, and fighting by the rules when others don't. The speaker's reliance on honor to provide his life with meaning leaves him no other option that to give up his life.

The Hagerstown campus of Kaplan University is hosting 20 Ph.D.-level executives from the Guangxi Province of China for three months. During their time in the U.S., members of the group will participate in long-term specialized training in multiple industries, including agriculture and social services.
The group includes economists, engineers, college professors and real estate developers.
"We feel this is a wonderful partnership and opportunity to share the 'real America' with these students," said John Brandtley, director of workforce for Kaplan, which provides training for corporations and government entities.
Brandtley spent 18 years outside the U.S. serving in the Air Force, including 12 years in Asia. He said this gave him a better understanding of the culture and is a driving force behind wanting to bring these groups to the U.S.
In the market
"I just think it's a good thing to have exchange students. I always thought was a good idea for peace if nothing else," said James Miller, owner of Glenwood Foods in Greencastle. "We can learn from each other."
Miller took the group to Cumberland Valley Produce Auction in Shippensburg and to his store Tuesday so they could see how produce makes it to market. Miller gets a lot of his produce from the local auction.
"From the moment a peach gets picked to the point that it gets to the consumer, they want to see how we do it here," said Stephen Shinham, business development director for Kaplan University Rockville.
"It's a great cultural exchange," Shinham said. "They'll take back copious notes. They are very eager learners. I just think it's great that you would think of a microcosm like Waynesboro or Greencastle to host something like this, because they are sponsored by the Chinese government to come over here for this reason."
Shinham went on to explain that members of group are not allowed be photographed or interviewed due to an agreement they signed with the Chinese government.
About the program
This is the fourth long-term group the school has hosted, Brandtley said. The students spend the first three weeks in the classroom, the next three weeks touring and shadowing industries in the community and the remainder of the time in the classroom receiving formal training.
The school also has hosted eight to nine shorter-term groups from China.
"They get a glimpse into our world and we get a glimpse into theirs ... It's a great look at America," Brandtley said.

I was told I would be recieving a $2500.00 credit card with a low intrest rate (2.9%) and no annual charge, if I would pay the intro price of $299.00. I was told that all I needed to do was have the money in my account on november 4th. He then stated to make everything official, I would have to talk to his supervisor.
I then asked him when I could expect delivery. He said a few days after payment was recieved.
A man named kevin came on the line and he told me, that for quality control he would have to record and that i was to answer yes or no for all his questions. I was asked to repeat my account number and routing number, and a few other questions.
I called my bank on november 5th to check status on withdrawal. Nothing. On november 8th my account was debted $299.00.
On november 22nd I still did not recieve my card so I went to call FCS. The number I was given was bogus. So I called my bank and recieved a number to AIG (finacial firm) they gave me a number to another company, who finally gave me a number to FCS.
I called them and explained what was going on and I was told delivery could take as much as 6-8 weeks. So I waited and waited and waited. DEC 20th was the end of 8 weeks.
I called back on dec 20th, I talked with a man. He said it should not have taken that long and that he would fedex air mail me in 3-5 days (this put final delivery date on christmas 2004).
I called back on dec 24th and got a busy signal 3 times on the fourth time I got a machine saying that they would be out of the office till january 3rd. Finally I called fedex to see if they had anything being delivered to me. I was told they did not.
Well I hope this helps someone
any questions feel free to contact me

EDitor's Suggestions on how to get your money back!
Go to your bank within 60 days of the charge, or as soon as you know about the charge, don't delay, and tell them that there has been fraudulent activity within your account. Explain that you wish to file a dispute, and demand that they assist you in accordance with Federal Regulation E.
According to the majority of victims interviewed by Rip-off Report, those who immediately called their banks to dispute the charges did not get very far. Many victims got the following responses from their banks: we could not do anything for you or you waited too long; it has been more than 60 days.
If the bank is says that you have waited too long, explain to them how you called their 800 number as soon as the charges were found, and were told by the bank that nothing could be done. Remind the bank that they failed to assist you properly at the 800 #, and instead, provided you with an inadequate explanation of your right to dispute. Tell the bank that it's their fault time has expired, and since they gave you the wrong info to begin with, they will just have to deal with it, take the loss and reverse the charges.
Tell them the truth; this was unauthorized and your account was NOT to be charged! Keep emphasizing how you never authorized anything! Direct them to the hundreds of victims reports that were filed on Rip-off Report.com. And if you're at the bank, walk them over to their computer and make them go to this site! If you are on the phone with them, tell them you will wait while they access this site! Either way, be persistent!
Let them know nicely, that you were advised to Report them (the Bank) and this situation to the Banking Commission in your state. Since each state has a different name for the agency/controller over banks, find that name before you call or get to the bank so you can throw it in their face. The more knowledgeable you appear to be, the further you will get.
And just continue to demand the Federal Regulation E form! The bank CAN, MUST and WILL reverse the charge! But, you must be persistent; ask to speak to the supervisor or the area manager for all the branches in the state.
Let the bank personnel know you are meeting with the media later in the day, that you would much rather they do the right thing (as most other banks have) by looking at the complaints and immediately reversing the charge(s) to your account; no matter how long ago it was. Be sure to call the Media if necessary so you are telling the truth.
If you have to, be loud (but nice) in front of other customers. If you are just calling by phone, the above tactics should still work. The bank can easily fax or mail to you the Federal Regulation E dispute form.
If the charge was to your credit card (not debit card, check card, or checking account), contact the credit card company as soon as possible to request a dispute form. Consumers usually have a little longer to dispute fraudulent credit card charges (up to 6 months), but it is better to act right away. In this type of situation, credit card disputes are usually successful since fraudulent companies often won't contest the disputed charge. In rare cases, credit card companies will review disputes, but refuse to reverse the charges. If this occurs, complain to a manager and let them know you will be filing a report here.
Remember Don't let them get away with it! Make sure they make the Rip-off Report .. The more Reports filed on a Company or individual, the more likely it is that the authorities, media and attorneys will want to take action.
And good luck Let us know how you do!
