Finding dead web links with Linkchecker
Linkchecker grooms your site to uncover references to missing pages.
If you manage a big Internet site, you are probably familiar with the problem of dead links. An external page at the end of a link can easily go offline, and when a user clicks the link, the browser jumps headlong into a black hole. This problem can be difficult to catch, unless you plan to spend all your spare time testing links at your own website. If you're looking for a faster way to hunt for holes, try Linkchecker. The easiest way to install Linkchecker [1] is to use a prebuilt version. For RPM-based systems such as Suse or Fedora, an RPM package with the current version 3.3 and a source code archive is available from [2]. Users with Debian derivatives should check out the site at [3] or install Linkchecker by running apt-get install linkchecker.

Only good thing about McCain is he gave us Sarah!!!
Sarah.... the gift that never gives
She fails to deliver anything but words
I think tease is a good descriptive
I think God gave Sarah to America.
McCain was given a list and was told a woman would garner votes in the female demographic. Once Sarah's conservative true believer principles were revealed, McCain's staff tried to squelch her.
McCain and his campaign were motivated by the same Rove-RINO demographic statistical arguments as Romney, not by principles of conservatism.
McCain is no conservative. Palin is.
McCain put her into the light before her time, thus knocking a rising star out of her trajectory.
He then left her and her family dangling above the snarling masses, never coming to her aid, while letting his aids take out their frustrations on her, her family and her reputation.
Everything she has done since 2008 has been to make the best of where she found herself in the aftermath, career-wise, and salvage what she had built for whatever her future might be.
Imagine if she had refused McCain's offer and stayed a successful and popular Governor and we, the nation, just met her for the first time in 2012 or 2016?
Instead, we re-elected obama and McCain and...the senior Senator from Alaska Lisa Murkowski (She was appointed to the Senate in 2002 by her father, Governor Frank Murkowski).
I say McCain, who never intended to win the presidency, did that to Sarah Palin on purpose.
How's that for GOPe payback?

Interview: 10 Questions With The TERRIFYINGLY AMAZING Kamila Mlynarczyk!
Kamila Mlynarczyk
facebook: Kamila Mlynarczyk Woodedwoods Facebook Page
images copyright Kamila Mlynarczyk
1.... what medium and tools do you use to create art?
I use black pen to sketch, if I like the gesture and movement and idea of a sketch I'll continue with washes of acrylic paint. I've never been one to use pencil, I like the permanence of pen- forces me to make every stroke count and I know there's no room for mistakes.
My sculpture are mixed media, start with a wire armature then polymer clay. I paint with acrylics, use real hair and wool. I use vintage fabrics and lace for the costuming, I also age, stain and distress the fabric so it looks worn and old.
I try to draw everyday, every week I have one or two days where I'm just "on" and I can't put down my pen- usually everything around me is put on hold until I can get my ideas down on paper.
My sculpting is a lot like my drawing, I work in energetic bursts. I never plan what I'm going to sculpt or draw, I may have an idea but I let it happen. My best work comes when I'm not forcing anything to happen, very organically- thats why its very hard for me to accept commissions, I like the freedom of letting whatever comes to happen.
3.... who are your favorite artists?
My biggest inspiration is Edward Gorey, I found his work at my local library when I was very young and just fell in love with his darkness- his work was the most interesting thing I had ever seen at that age and it really just let me know there was a place in this world for the things I loved and found interesting and wanted to pursue.
I also love the aesthetic of the children's books illustrators of the golden age-
Edmund Dulac, Aubrey Beardsley, Arthur Rackham etc.
4.... for you what is the biggest motivation to create art?
I've always drawn, as far back as I can remember. I guess my motivation is to express my ideas and feelings, tell the stories I want to share, and to satisfy that urge to create. I'd be lost if I couldn't draw or sculpt. I think I can do a way better job of expressing my feelings through art than talking- it's how I communicate best. It's what I have to offer, in school when I was young there were charismatic people and funny and beautiful people and what I had to share was my art and its how I got to know people and made friends.
5.... what attracted you to the genre of art you work in?
I've been drawn to ghost stories and dark humor all my life, sometimes it landed me in a lot of trouble but it's what I found fascinating and addictive. It couldn't have been anything else for me, I can only be passionate and obsessed with what I love and what I love are monsters and the dark side of humanity.
6.... where would you like to see your art career in ten years
I just want to create as much as I can and share it with as many people as I can. I'd love to write and illustrate my own children's book and want to continue to make big scary sweet sculptures and display them in galleries around the world. If I can make a living at it that's awesome too, but if I can't it definitely won't slow me down.
7.... do you feel its important to follow your passion in your career?
It's all I'm about. People would say sometimes to my detriment but everything I make I want it to be filled with passion and love and wonder. If I do that then it shows and it can move people that look at or buy my artwork and i think its the most important thing.
8.... what is the secret to creating a great piece of art?
Not holding back, not censoring yourself not playing it safe. You need to be brave and stand by your ideas no matter how idiotic they are. Not everyone will understand what you're doing but that's okay.
I try to read about a lot of topics that fascinate me, ideas come when you keep your mind busy and well fed on knowledge- they come organically.
Another time I get my best ideas is when I'm in a very low place emotionally, my humor gets really dark and I can poke fun at myself through my drawings and it makes my problems seem not so dark and heavy when I can share them and laugh.
Always be doing what you love, do it obsessively and you'll find your way, your style your whatever- but just work, draw do it all. the. time.

Insurance PPIs up in 2001
October 29, 2002
The Producer Price Index for property and casualty insurance moved up 3.7 percent for the 12 months ended December 2001, due partially to rising prices for private passenger automobile insurance and homeowner's insurance.
Private passenger automobile insurance advanced 5.9 percent in 2001, with significant increases in California and Florida. In Florida, cases of automobile insurance fraud are currently being investigated as causes for rising premiums.
Prices for homeowner's insurance rose 5.1 percent in 2001, with large gains in California, Florida, and Texas. The gain in prices resulted from an increase in claims surrounding mold problems that arise in warm climates after water damage.
The price index for the life insurance carriers industry also rose in 2001. The index was up 1.4 percent in 2001, following declines of 0.3 percent and 0.6 percent in 1999 and 2000, respectively.
These data are from the BLS Producer Price Index program. Learn more in "Producer price highlights during 2001," by William F. Snyders, Jon Weinhagen, and Amy Popick, Monthly Labor Review, July 2002.

Make sure you ask for individual cremation so the ashes aren't mixed with other animals.

"Michael Breen illuminates through countless anecdotes and personal observations the weird and wonderful ways of Asia's most paradoxical, polarized country. Few Koreans, let alone foreigners, have a better understanding than Breen of how a people can be alternately warm and ruthless, shrewd and childlike, tolerant and pigheaded. This is a thoughtful, passionate, and enlightening look at the world's eleventh largest economy and one its oldest cultures; required reading for the neophyte and Korea hand alike." Steve Glain, former Seoul correspondent, The Wall Street Journal
"Michael Breen gives readers an insight into the history and character of a complex people which helps us assess how they might deal with the current complex period in their development." Catherine Lee, Seoul correspondent, The Economist
"For anyone who wants to know Korea and the Koreans better, this book is an excellent place to start. Michael Breen's achievement is to have gotten under Korea's skin. His portrait of Koreans is at once highly personal and convincingly recognizable. both engaged and engaging, this book comes as close as an outsider can get to an insider's account of contemporary Korea [and its] undoubted importance as a key player in the global economy of the twenty-first century."

I worked at Subway for two years. It was an OK job. I'd say it's better than Tim Horton's or Macdonald's. You don't get breaks or anything, and you aren't promised discounts or anything (it depends on the owner), but the job itself isn't that hard and is enjoyable enough. You don't end up smelling awful at the end of the day, either. The week I spent at Tim Horton's and Burger King... /shudder
Walmart was great, but they're big on worker exploitation. I didn't think it was that bad until I started working at Maxi where I get raises, don't count the til, don't have to do stock or anything... It's way more lax, compared to Walmart where you were forced to sell MasterCards or be fired. Good thing I was good at that lol
Work History:
★ Burger King (2009) ★
Quit after I figured out I replaced the girl who got her finger cut off. Also, not a good job overall.
★ Sweet Dreams Ice Cream (May-July 2010) ★
Quit after my boss accused me of stealing, even though I had evidence to prove that the 40$ never actually existed ("test" orders gone wrong.)
★ Subway (August 2010-June 2012)★
Two different locations, same owner for 38h/week. Free sandwiches, drinks. It was a good entry-level job in order to get better jobs later (experience, etc.)
★ Walmart (May 2012-October 2012) ★
Overall, it was a decent job; better than Subway. People liked me. The boss liked me (because I sold lots of MCs) but the threat of being fired for any little reason was daunting. No raises. Breaks, though.
★ Tim Horton's (October 2012) ★
Quit because the staff was horrible - they encouraged theft and wouldn't sell me things; I had to steal them if I wanted them - and it was mega exploitation. Seriously. They didn't pay over-time but required you to stay until someone else showed up for their shift. No raises. I started lower than any other job I've ever done. Requires a lot of work for said pay. Breaks were not guaranteed. Clients are crappy. The assistant manager wasn't too bad, but the manager herself was... ugh. Plus, it was a huge downgrade from Walmart. I felt insulted lol
★ Maxi (October 2012-Present) ★
Best job. Ever. So far. 10% discount on groceries. It's across the street from my house. Unionized = hard to fire me. Vacation. Raises. Breaks. Great team. Yay!

By Parker Rome, Fort Riley Public AffairsDecember 9, 2010
FORT RILEY, Kan. - The signing of the Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation Employee and Customer Covenant was a promise to provide excellent customer service.
The covenant was signed by Col. Kevin Brown, Fort Riley garrison commander, and Steve Tully, DFMWR director, following a meeting Dec. 1 at King Field House.
The covenant, which was originally signed by Maj. Gen. Reuben Jones, FMWR Command commanding general on Jan. 25 at Louisville, Ky., has two parts.
"The covenant promises specific things to the employer - it's really about making sure the employer has the tools he or she needs to do their job the best they can," said Leza Chryssovergis, FMWRC customer service coordinator for Fort Riley and Fort Leavenworth. "In turn, once we've fulfilled those promises to the employees, they will in turn fulfill those promises to the external customers."
Chryssovergis' is one of about 30 customer service coordinators hired to help FMWRC employees follow through with the message of the covenant.
"They'll be doing much more than just providing orientation and giving tours of the garrison to newly hired employees," said Jason Bell, FMWRC customer service program manager. "They'll also make sure best practices at one garrison will have the chance to become standardized across all garrisons. They'll also ensure that annual employee evaluations will be performed and recognition programs be installed."
Formal and informal training will be instituted to develop skills and career development opportunities for employees to reach their full potential.
Before signing the covenant, Brown reminded DFMWR employees that Fort Riley is currently in first place among divisional installations in the Army Community of Excellence Award program.
"That doesn't happen by accident," he said. "The point of programs like this is that you self recognize - that you give yourself a pat on the back, and you give each other a pat on the back in pursuit of goals like that."
Brown said the covenant is about "the desire to come to work and be around each other that can turn into enthusiasm that can turn into passion."
"I'm really excited about it," Chryssovergis said. "I think it's important that we take care of our customers."
For more information on the covenant, contact Chryssovergis at 785-239-3412.

This report examines the personal motor insurance market in the UK, namely motor insurance provided to consumers. Motor insurance for commercial vehicles is excluded from the scope of this report.
Consumer motor insurance policies cover the legal liabilities that arise from the use of private motor vehicles. Commercial motor insurance covers the same, but is designed for use by businesses. Together, consumer and commercial motor insurance are by far the largest sectors of the general insurance market; in turn, consumer motor insurance makes up by far the largest share of the total motor insurance sector.
The law states that in the event of an accident, the party deemed at-fault is required to compensate the non-fault party for any damage to property, personal injury suffered and consequential loss. The non-fault party is entitled to have their car restored to its condition prior to the accident and to the use of a 'broadly equivalent' temporary replacement vehicle pending completion of repairs to their car.
The Association of British Insurers
The Association of British Insurers (ABI) acts as the voice of the UK insurance industry, representing the general insurance, protection and long-term savings markets. Formed in 1985, it now has almost 300 members accounting for approximately 90% of premiums in the UK. The ABI presides over a UK insurance industry that is a global leader; UK insurers manage assets of £1.8 trillion, with investments accounting for 24% of the UK's total net worth; it also contributes £10bn in taxes to the Treasury. This makes the insurance industry the fourth-highest payer of corporation tax of any sector in the UK economy.
Employing over 275,000 people in the UK alone, the insurance industry is also one of the country's major exporters, with around 20% of its net premium income coming from overseas business. The products and services delivered by insurers are essential for the functioning of the UK's economy and society, protecting individuals, businesses and society as a whole from an array of unfortunate events.
Market Sectors:
This Motor Insurance (Consumer) Market Report provides data that relate to the following three sectors:
- Comprehensive insurance
- Non-comprehensive insurance
- Motorcycle insurance.
Motorists are legally obliged to hold a valid insurance policy that offers third-party coverage as a minimum (i.e. that which insures against the risk that they will cause death or personal injury to another person or damage another person's property while driving). This law is set out in the Road Traffic Act 1968. This basic level of cover is compulsory, although if consumers choose they can purchase insurance that covers the risk of fire and theft, also. This is known as third party, fire and theft (TPFT). However, the type of insurance most commonly purchased is comprehensive insurance, also known as fully comprehensive insurance. This covers damage caused to the insured's own vehicle, as well as the insured's own medical expenses arising from an accident, on top of providing cover against the risk of fire, theft and the mandatory third-party element of motor insurance. As stated, this report also covers personal motorcycle insurance, a sector which encompasses all types of motor insurance available to car drivers but that covers motorised, two-wheeled vehicles.

I was thinking about those playoff fumbles today and maybe for the first time truly appreciating how big of missed opportunities they were.
'03: with Colorado out, I would've liked our chances vs. Dallas/Minny/Vancouver
Giguere - 1.62 GAA .945 S% in playoffs
'04: I like us against "new to the party" San Jose
Kiprusoff - 1.85, .928
'06: IMO the Wings were the only power team in the West
Roloson - 2.33, 9.27
Was it really just 3 goalies having career moments coupled with Pav and Hank not being *playoff* Pav and Hank soon enough?
It just feels like such a waste now when you consider the state of the team now and reflect on the glory.

A sting operation in Northeast Philadelphia netted four women who police said were prostitutes.
The vice squad had received complaints about illicit sex acts being performed on the 6800 block of Torresdale Avenue. After an undercover officer was solicited for sex by a number of "massage therapists," police raided the establishment on Tuesday, police said.
Arrested and charged with prostitution, conspiracy and related counts were Aneisah Scott, 20, of McMahon Street; Christina Bohnert, 26, of Griscom St; Lisa Ann Kingston, 52, of Croydon; and Brenda Davila, of Griscom Street.

Maricopa County Won't Appeal Ban on Self-Smuggling Prosecutions
Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery.
Matthew Hendley
Maricopa County won't appeal a federal judge's ruling that prevents county officials from prosecuting undocumented immigrants for smuggling themselves into the country.
Such prosecutions were started by now-disbarred former Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas, using a relatively new anti-smuggling law that was enacted to target human smugglers, not those being smuggled. The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office under Sheriff Joe Arpaio agreed to make these arrests, and the prosecutions continued under current County Attorney Bill Montgomery.
A federal judge ruled in September that Arpaio and Montgomery could not continue to use this policy, stating that it conflicts with federal law, which does not consider it a crime to be in the country unlawfully.
"The County Attorney did not agree with the ruling, however we respect it and we will abide by it," Montgomery's spokesman Jerry Cobb tells New Times. "There is no change in his position that the federal government is not doing enough to meet its obligation of controlling the borders."

This week, the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors approved paying $675,000 to We Are America/Somos America, the immigrant-rights group that filed the lawsuit, for attorneys' fees.
"The County Attorney made the decision that there really is no viable avenue to appeal the ruling that the district court imposed," Cobb says.
In September, U.S. District Judge Robert Broomfield ordered that Arpaio, Montgomery, and their successors not use this policy because it "effectively criminalizes conduct which federal law does not."
"More specifically, by deeming it a felony for unlawfully present aliens to conspire to transport themselves, the Policy is 'criminalizing unlawful presence, a stance plainly at odds with federal law,'" Broomfield wrote.
The policy had previously survived a challenge in state court, but this federal lawsuit is what's putting an end to the policy.
Our colleague Ray Stern has reported that there were 294 people prosecuted for self-smuggling in 2008, 493 in 2009, 369 in 2010, 330 in 2011, and 155 through most of 2012. (Montgomery took office in 2010.)
Meanwhile, in a separate lawsuit, a federal judge has had to order Arpaio's office not to racially profile Latinos.

On "Goldacre," a poem in our new Summer issue.
I wrote "Goldacre"—my "Twinkie" poem—in the wake of the brouhaha surrounding last year's Best American Poetry anthology, when the white writer Michael Derrick Hudson published a poem under the name Yi-Fen Chou, sparking a media frenzy. As one of the few #ActualAsianPoets to have had a poem ("March of the Hanged Men," first published in The Paris Review) included in the anthology, I was unwillingly sucked into the whole mess. But after my initial queasiness subsided, the controversy stirred up a familiar set of questions for me. Read More »
Letter from Shanghai
September 11, 2015 | by Eleanor Goodman
How a scandal about a Chinese name has been received in China.
This past February, the Chinese media widely announced that the Chinese poet Biqujibu, an ethnic Yi from western Sichuan, had been shortlisted for the Pulitzer Prize in Poetry, international category. Only twenty-three years old, he was selected for his very first book of poetry, a 1,500-line epic poem written in English, called A Poem Sacrifice for a Mountain Dream. Among the literary stars who wrote glowing reviews of the book were Biden Sitland (a famous American poet), Liffen Lushby (a prominent American translator, critic, and member of the Nobel selection committee), and Didian Linda (an American woman poet, a proponent of "rural writing"). This was an astonishing honor for a young ethnic-minority writer living in a country whose great literary works have been largely overlooked by American critics and readers.
But of course it never happened. The entire thing, including the unconvincing names and the assertion that the Pulitzer committee created the "international" prize just for Biqujibu's sake, was made up. Even the poet in question turned out not to be ethnic Yi, but Han (the majority ethnicity in China). News of this fantastically ambitious ruse never made it to the States. And why should it have? It had nothing to do with the U.S., really; it had to do with the distant fame of the Pulitzer, and a lust for outside recognition in a dusty mountain town somewhere near the border of Yunnan.

Exit Art, 1982–2012
April 12, 2012 | by Hua Hsu
Papo Colo and Jeanette Ingberman founded Exit Art in 1982 as a space for "unusual" art, which is saying a lot given that this was a time when artists were bisecting public plazas with giant panels of unfinished steel, using subway trains as canvases, and performing year-long pieces that consisted of never going indoors. That February, Papo and Ingberman curated their first exhibition, "Illegal America." The show explored the ways in which the practice of art had occasionally run afoul of the law, from Charlotte Moorman playing cello in the nude to Chris Burden ordering his assistant to shoot him in his arm. The catalogue consisted of a series of artists' statements housed in a box, which was sealed shut. In order to open it, you had to tear through a dollar bill glued across the flaps—an illegal act, albeit of the mildest kind.
Exit Art's mandate was clear from the very beginning: the brash claim that they represented an "exit" from the traditional art world; a neck-and-neck passion for politics and aesthetics; that gag of a catalogue, the kind that implicates gallerygoers as more than passive collectors of names on placards. Yet their remarkable, thirty-year existence on the fringes will soon come to an end. Read More »

Classroom Expectations and Policies
Establishing good classroom discipline is essential to each child's success,
confidence and well-being. Every child should feel that the classroom
environment is safe and secure; free from all threats of physical or emotional
harm. In addition, it is important that each child learn to develop
self-discipline and good work habits, to resolve conflicts peacefully, and to
think independently.
The children will learn the purpose of classroom expectations and develop the
idea that our classroom is a community with the common purpose of learning,
growing and becoming friends.
I expect the students to:
Be Respectful Be Responsible
Be Safe
I believe it is very important to communicate between home and school and will
do my best to keep you informed. Questions,
comments, or concerns at anytime throughout the year, please contact me at the

What is it with Normal-type Gym Leaders always being the most frustrating?
Maybe because Its only weakness is female machop. And Bite cause flinch if you're not fast enough.
The True Lover of Tifa Lockheart
1. Eh Misty's Starmie I guess just cause its a fully evolved/2nd Gym. I was whooped by all the Gym Leaders back then at one point but no Poke sticks out
2. Whitney's Miltank
3. Norman's Slaking
4. Byron's Bastiodon?? Byron was the only leader that was a decent challenge if unprepared
5. Clay's Excadrill-thing almost swept my overleveled party that included a Serperior.

P0k3m0nWaRR10R8 posted...5. The Trio Gym was difficult for me, as was Lenora's Watchog, Clay's Excadrill, and Drayden. I never got why people said these games were too easy, because it's probably the first gen I actually struggled with some of the gym leaders (though that might be because I used my starter the entire game, and we all know how great they were)
Most of my pokemon were too weak to take out his pokemon before they had boosted their stats enough to take out my team, and my monkey was never up to level with his.
As for the rest, I never used Tepig in any of my playthroughs, and I didn't like Timburr either, so I didn't have a good Fighting type until Mienfoo near Iccirus
Aut viam inveniam, aut faciam.
Gen 1 Brock(everything I had was weak to rock)
Gen 2 Whitney THAT MILTANK!!!!
Gen 3 Tate and Liz they gave me some serious problems back then...
Gen 4 not sure... maybe Volkner? my teams were usually at least 5-10 levels higher than them so...
Gen 5 Lenora so much raging... particularly that Watchog...
Gen 1: Misty's Starmie (I've gotten stuck between her and Blue before)
Gen 2: Bugsy's Scyther (It is evil in HG/SS if you start with Chikorita stupid U-Turn)
Gen 3: Tate and Liz's Claydol (The entire team is built around its Earthquake)
Gen 4: The grass gym's Cherrim (I could beat it but leech seed and stun spore made the other two a pain.)
Gen 5: Drayden's Druddigon (I could not kill this thing it just took all of my hits and kept going.)

To everyone complaining about Whitney... I caught a Heracross after headbutting trees and freakin' demolished her team once it learned brick break. (In HGSS, of course)
1. Starmie, easily the best gym pokémon in Generation I, although Alakazam makes a good second.
2. Miltank, just freaking hard if you're a bit underleveled.
3. Claydol + Xatu is hell
4. Easy
5. Gym leaders are easy (except Excadrill), but the Champion was quite good without a Haxorus.
From Gen IV, I just trained a dragon pokémon (Gible, Axew) and let him or her do all the sweeping).

Gen 2: Clair. Her Kingdra is only weak to dragon but that main problem with it is that your pokemon and the trainer are bound to be in the level 40s making Dragonite inpossible to get and Dratini is severly underlevel making her the lake of fire to beat. Even if you beat her she make you go to the Dragon's Den.
Gen 3 Liza and Tate. Solrock and Lunatone are very bulky ingame and have great syrney once Light screen and Reflect are up.
Gen 4 Candice. It the puzzle that trips me, not the pokemon
Gen 5 Cheren. That Lillipup has insane bulk for an early game poke and it took a Lucario for me to pass it. The rest was easy.
What do you guys think about the fairy type?

Time To Close Out Twitter (TWTR) Shorts And Go Long For A Pop 2 commentsMay 7, 2014 7:41 PM | about stocks: TWTR
Dan Nathan just mentioned on Fast Money, click here, that he closed out his Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) short position today. He still wants to sell rallies and he might be right long-term. However, on a short-term basis, it is looking like TWTR wants to bottom around the $30 area and this could be a nice spot to do a nice scalp trade from the long side.
On May 5th, I did an article, click here, where I indicated that the end of the share lockup on May 6th, would be a non-event. With TWTR crashing down $6.90 on Tuesday, closing into new lows at $31.85 (drop of 17.8%), it is apparent I was wrong. However, I am not convinced that I was wrong based on the release of the shares from lockup. I believe that a majority of the drop was computer generated sell orders placed in the thin premarket. They overwhelmed the buyers and caused panic. With the stock opening down nearly $3, hitting of stops added to the few sellers who wanted to sell for the first time, which added to the weak hand sellers panicking, the margin call sellers, etc. The snowball effect just got out of hand. TWTR is merely a victim of a flawed market structure. In the past, when massive sell orders came in, they were met with buy orders from specialists. But today, with computers doing as much as 80% of the trading, computers don't send in buy orders to support the market. When sell orders try to overwhelm the system, the computers pull their bids (remember the flash crash of 4 years ago, this same May 6th). In fact, when sell orders come in, instead of putting up buy orders, computers are just as likely if not more likely to add to the frenzy with sell orders of their own. The computers will see opportunity and join in the fun. The computers take over. On the 4th anniversary of the flash crash, TWTR had a flash crash of its own, played out in slow motion. Computers are to thank for the Twitter mini crash in my humble opinion. I am not saying anything was done illegally, and I am not calling it market manipulation. What I do say is that it was opportunistic bears who figured out a way to take advantage of the anticipated selling by insiders and long term holders of Twitter stock. They front ran the sellers and caused the mini crash. The fact that nearly 500 million shares were released into the market and the fact that the daily volume was only 134.5 million, it is apparent that a vast majority of the large holders of stock were holding and not selling. I feel I was correct that selling by insiders would be a non-event. Selling by computers is a different story.
Tuesday evening, I regrouped and did further research on TWTR. I think that I now know the most likely scenario for TWTR going forward. If you read my comments that I posted to my TWTR article, this morning, Wednesday 5/7/14, you will see that I was looking for TWTR to find support at $30. It did. Look at the intraday chart:
Today in the premarket, which is not shown on the above chart, TWTR traded above $32 and spent as much time above the previous day close of $31.85, as below. Stability in the premarket was a good sign for bulls. The chart shown above is a two-minute bar chart with each bar showing where TWTR traded in two-minute increments. I prefer daytrading using signals generated on the 2-minute charts. Anyway, following along on the chart, when TWTR could not take out resistance at $32, selling resumed and TWTR quickly fell to a few ticks below $30. From that early low, TWTR rallied a whole dollar to a few ticks shy of $31.00. It then worked lower to successfully retest the $30 area (higher low), followed by a strong rally to $31.10 (higher high). This is a bullish development, even if the stock could not add further to the gains. In an a-b-c fashion, TWTR corrected back down to $30.00 where a large bid order was found and kept the stock from making new lows. For nearly 75 minutes, TWTR traded sideways from $30.00 to $30.35. However, just after 2:10 p.m. EST, a large sell order finally crashed the support that had held at $30.00 for over an hour. Over the next 8 minutes TWTR fell no lower than $29.76 and tried valiantly to bust back above $30.00. However, there were not enough buy orders to bust on through, so TWTR fell further, falling precipitously to the low of the day of $29.51, around 2:28 p.m. EST. Since 2:30 p.m. is often a pivot point in time, I was hopeful TWTR could at least begin a rally back up to retest $30.00. I knew that if on the retest, if $30.00 was successfully breached, buy stop orders would propel the stock much higher. TWTR did rally right on schedule, but the first attempt at $30.00 was too much and it fell back towards $29.80. An amazing thing then happened. Buying came in and propelled the stock right on up through $30.00 and buy stop orders propelled the stock back above the $30.35 resistance to a high of $30.50. Now, TWTR had not only made a new low below $30.00, by nearly 50 cents, it had now rallied an equal 50 cents to the upside. This turned TWTR from bearish to neutral, for the first time in a couple days. It was imperative for TWTR to hold and close above $30.00 to remain neutral. TWTR did retest the $30.00 mark and slipped down a few pennies below the support. But in the mid $29.90s, strong buying kept coming in and the support held. In fact, during the last 30 minutes of trading, TWTR retested and broke through the $30.50 resistance, stopping a few pennies shy of $31.00. Although late profit-taking caused the final close to end up $31.66, down $1.19 for the day, closing above $31.50 late in the day turned the stock from neutral to bullish. I can now say with reasonable confidence that the worst should be over. TWTR should continue working on the base established at $30.00. When TWTR rallies and can close back above $32.00, then the bottom will be confirmed. I am looking for a move in TWTR back toward $40.
Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) May Give A Clue To Where Twitter (TWTR) Will Trade Next
The above weekly chart shows what happened when Facebook botched their IPO. FB sold off from nearly the opening tick, working lower in the first 3 weeks to $25.52, before bouncing back up to $33.45. The $7.93 rebound was a 31% rebound. FB then worked down to its all-time low of $17.55, a drop of 47.5%. From that low, FB bounced 33% to a high of $23.37. Fell back towards $18.80, before bouncing 29% to $24.25. Then from a low of $18.87, FB popped to $28.88, and finally $32.21. That was a pop of 53.5% and further rally of 71.3%. What is important from all this, is that when FB fell, it bottomed and then rallied 31%, followed by another 33% and then 29%, before finally popping over 50% and moving up strongly for good, thanks to great earnings. What does this say about Twitter? Well, I believe that looking at rallies of 29, 31 or 33% off of lows, is a good price target to take profits on longs. Today, TWTR made a low of $29.51 and if that is the low for this down move, then expect a pop back up between 29 to 33%, or a move to $38.07 to $39.25. Then I would expect a retest of the low, and possibly making a new low a bit lower, maybe toward as low as $26, which was the IPO price.
In any case, TWTR is oversold and should bounce shortly upwards of $8.50 to $9.75 off the bottom. Facebook took the dive early and found its low value within the first few weeks of trading. TWTR is just finding out now where the point of equilibrium, since the lockup made such a small float, the stock could never find its equilibrium point between true buyers and sellers. That is happening now. Facebook bottomed and began rallying once the lockup ended, and I would expect the same soon from Twitter.

Mitchell: I'll Smash John Murray To Bits, Win a Title
Kevin Mitchell reacted to his defeat by Michael Katsidis by embarking on a six-month drinking binge that ended when his mum dragged him out of the pub.
Mitchell was demolished inside three rounds by Katsidis at Upton Park in May last year, paying the price for the personal problems that marred his preparations.
Troubled times continued to cloak the Londoner, now 26, and he sought refuge in alcohol until parents Alison and Kevin intervened.
Mitchell, who faces John Murray in a domestic showdown at the ExCel Arena on July 9, admits he needed their help.
"After the fight I jumped on the booze for six months. That's the truth," he said.
"My mum came into the pub, pulled me out and said 'right kid, you've got to get yourself back on track'.
"She said 'you're better than this, it's time to sort your head out - you've had your time messing around'.
"And she was right. I had my time messing about. My dad was there too.
"So I got back into the gym a month before Christmas, started ticking over and boom, here I am.
"Seeing my mum and dad together, getting me out of the pub and saying buck your ideas up, it gives you a big kick up the backside. The penny dropped really."
Mitchell is far more content with life having addressed the problems that sent him on his downward spiral.
"The Katsidis fight didn't go according to plan, but things were going wrong long before the fight happened," he said.
"It was more due to my lifestyle and things that were happening in my life. My family life wasn't right.
"I've got those things straight now, which is the main thing. If I hadn't sorted them out I'd never have boxed again.
"Things had to be put right. It was the first time that what was going on in my life then had happened to me.
"It won't be happening ever again. I'm most definitely in a better place.
"I've had 80-odd fights in my life and I've only ever lost six times. That was the first I'd lost since I was 15 or 16.
"Now I'm happy and am happy in training."
Mitchell, who hammered Amir Khan's conqueror Breidis Prescott on points in 2009, is ready to revive his world title aspirations by flattening Murray.
"I want to get back to the top and that's where I want to mix it," he said.
"John is tough but there's nothing there to worry me. I'll knock him out.
"He's aggressive and has been getting away with it at domestic level, but let's see how he reacts when he walks onto my shots.
"We'll get John Murray out the way, smash him to bits, and then win a world title."
I think and hope Mitchell prepares well for this fight. I think that he understands that Murray is a fight he can definitely win and has trained well. I haven't seen any sort of build up or training camps or…Comment by right hand jab on 06-20-2011
Mitchell seems to be the one who's getting "smashed to bits" in this fight, as Murray's a real fighter with the grit and determination required (well, at European level at least). I see Murray wearing Mitchell down and perhaps stopping…Comment by PRINCE O' PROSE on 06-20-2011
Lowe it. If Kevin Mitchell loses to John Murray, he's blown some serious amount of talent in some seriously short amount of time, that's all I'll say.Comment by PRINCE O' PROSE on 06-20-2011
I came into the thread ready to say, [I]"you *should* smash Murray to bits, if the last 12 months of inactivity, cannabis farming, blowing white up your nose and who knows what else haven't completely eroded your talent and desire.",[/I]…Comment by Ray* on 06-20-2011
[B]Another great domestic tussle, but Murray would and should beat Mitchell IMO, Mitcehll is too pre occupied and he isn't serious enough to take it to the next level, whoever wins though would probably fight for a world title soon.[/B]Post a Comment - View More User Comments (5)

Earlier this season, I chose the St. Louis Cardinals as the "Most Brilliantly Run Franchise in Baseball". True to form, they had another brilliant season that included their fourth World Series appearance in the past 10 years.
While they couldn't outlast the Red Sox, who beat them in six games, they shouldn't miss a beat in 2014 as long as they continue to follow the model of success that's allowed them to post winning seasons in 13 of the last 14 years.
As they've shown the baseball world throughout the season and into the playoffs, their young talent is for real, and they should continue to produce more homegrown talent that should put the team in a position so that they don't have to rely on the free agent and trade markets.
That doesn't mean they won't be active in the offseason, though.
For example, they don't have to re-sign Carlos Beltran because they have the option of moving Allen Craig to right field and handing the first base job over to Matt Adams, who posted an .838 OPS as a rookie. Or they could hand the job to Oscar Taveras, who entered the season as one of the top prospects in baseball before an ankle injury hindered him in 2013.
But that doesn't mean they can't or won't sign Beltran.
The Cardinals have the financial resources to make moves in free agency and the farm system that would allow them to do nothing and still be a good team. It's good to have those options. Some teams have neither.
General manager John Mozeliak had a quiet offseason prior to the 2013 season, opting to use his financial resources to lock up Craig and Adam Wainwright to long-term extensions. With most of his team's core of talent under club control for several more seasons and several million dollars coming off of the books, he could focus more on adding another impact bat or pitcher to push the team over the top next season.
Here's everything you'll need to know before Mozeliak and the front office get started.

Police: Beer, child in suspect's carApril 25,2014Police say a Bennington woman arrested for drunken driving had an open beer bottle in her car's cup holder and her 6-year-old son in the backseat.
Nichole Shepard, 33, will appear in Bennington criminal court May 12 to face charges of drunken driving, second offense, as well as reckless endangerment of a child, according to Vermont State Police.
Trooper Elliott Justinger said he pulled Shepard's vehicle over on Route 7 at the intersection of Route 313E near the border of Sunderland and East Arlington around 8:45 p.m. Wednesday.
The trooper said he "smelled a strong odor of intoxicants" coming from the vehicle and saw an open beer bottle in the cup holder. Shepard was arrested after field sobriety tests, the trooper added.MORE IN This Just InBENNINGTON A North Bennington man who had worked as a crossing guard for the Village School of...
