Very appealing cruise, attentive staff, delicious food (choice of steak, chicken or vegetable), suitable music, adjusted to the particular course and beautiful view throughout the harbour.
Would always come back and recommend this highly for every occasion when you want to celebrate something exceptional like an anniversary, a graduation, when special visitors are in town and you want to impress them or just if you want to pamper yourself.
Even though the prices for additional food or drinks are reasonable, cocktails vary from 9 to 12$ which is a normal price and in this surrounding its worthy.
Only downside: Approriate behaviour!
If you spend the money and take three hours out of your busy schedule, then dress appropriately (90% of the guests: evening attire). No sweat pants! I actually don't know why people dressed like that were allowed on the cruise.
Another point: Using all the silverware.
Forks and knifes are there for a reason - so encourage the people in your party not to be lazy and use both of them ALL THE TIME and not cut everything on the plate and then just eat all of it with only the fork.

In Norse mythology, Sköll (Old Norse "Treachery")[1] is a warg that chases the horses Árvakr and Alsviðr, that drag the chariot which contains the sun (Sól) through the sky every day, trying to eat her. Sköll has a brother, Hati, who chases Máni, the moon. At Ragnarök, both Sköll and Hati will succeed in their quests.
Sköll, in certain circumstances, is used as a heiti to refer indirectly to the father (Fenrir) and not the son. This ambiguity works in the other direction also, for example in Vafþrúðnismál, where confusion exists in stanza 46 where Fenrir is given the sun-chasing attributes of his son Sköll. This can mostly be accounted for by the use of Hróðvitnir and Hróðvitnisson to refer to both Fenrir and his sons.[citation needed]
In popular culture[edit]
- In the Fate of the Norns table-top role-playing-game, Skoll is partially responsible for the onset of Ragnarok.[2]
- The song Sowelu by Wardruna mentions Skoll.
- In Vikings the character Rollo has Skoll and his brother Hatí tattooed on his chest and arms.
- Both Hati and Skoll are bosses in Ragnarok Odyssey.
- Both Hati and Skoll are bosses in Ragnarok Odyssey Ace ( the updated version of Ragnarok Odyssey).
- Skolls are enemies in Etrian Odyssey.
- Skolls appears as a demon in the Cavalier of the Abyss manhwa.[citation needed]
- Skoll is the title of one of the werewolf enforcers in the Anita Blake:Vampire Hunter book series, the other title being Hati.
- Skoll is the name of a rare tamable spirit beast with a unique appearance in World of Warcraft.
- The legend of Skoll is referenced to by Agent Dana Scully in season 2, episode 19 of The X-Files, "Død Kalm"
- Sköll and Hati both appear as seasonal events in the multiplayer game RuneScape.[3]
- In Cardfight!! Vanguard, Skoll and Hati appear as units in the Genesis clan, as does Fenrir, for whom they are supporting units. Managarmr also appears as a unit in the Great Nature clan.
- Skoll is mentioned in Marvel Comics as a Wolf God in Journey Into Mystery #101.

About two and a half months ago (right before I dropped off the edge of the blogging world due to the busyness of life), 1Up announced that it was releasing its third and final issue of 1Up Presents. That made me sad but it was understandable. There is not enough interest in print when we can get so much information for free. Personally, though, I like the physicality of a book or magazine, and I'm much more likely to read it all if I have it in my hands. But I can't blame 1Up for not wanting to spend the time and effort on something special that people don't want to pay for. At the same time, though, I wonder...why can't 1Up continue in print post-1Up Presents?
Okay, it's too costly to do original content for print. Then why not recycle old content? 1Up has years of great articles and features it's sitting on. You can still find them if you know what you're looking for, but they're basically just slipping into the oblivion of the internet past. Why not make them available as print-on-demand magazines/collections? Features like "A Day in the Life of Yoshitaka Amano" and "A Day in the Life of Nobuo Uematsu" are large, fascinating features that I would love to have in print. Or the tenth anniversary retrospective of the Dreamcast. I'm sure many other worthy articles could be dug up. These are things I'd pay to have in print. 1Up would have to spend the little bit of time it would take to format these old features for the printed page, but I think it'd be worth it. Once something appears on the internet, it is often quickly forgotten (and often rightly so). But 1Up has plenty of things that deserve to be remembered and print would be a great way to do that.

BARRE A Granite City man has admitted fondling a 13-year-old girl in 2004.
Lee V. Bradeen, 28, pleaded guilty to felony lewd and lascivious conduct with a child as well as four violations of probation in Washington County criminal court in Barre on Tuesday. As part of the plea, Bradeen has agreed to a sentence of two to seven years to serve but will have to wait for a presentence investigation to be completed before he starts his sentence.
A charge of sexual assault was dropped under the agreement.
According to the police affidavit, Bradeen fondled the girl on a porch at Highgate Apartments.
The delay in the case was because Bradeen fled the state for Oregon in 2005 and was not located by U.S. Marshals until July 2012.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER The League of Women Voters of Vermont will be taking part in National Voter...

When Legos Take Over
Plastic robots took over the Deep Run High School gymnasium Nov. 13, as 24 teams of local students competed in the annual FIRST Lego League (FLL) Robotics Tournament at the school.
The teams sent their Lego robots into competition against others in the event hosted by the Deep Run Blue Cheese Robotics Team 1086, which annually competes in the high school FIRST Robotics Competition and FIRST Tech Challenge.
The FLL tournament introduces students in grades 4-8 to real world engineering challenges in which the students must design, build and program their own robots using "LEGO MINDSTORMS" technology. The competition is split into two categories, Division 1 Teams for elementary school students and Division 2 for middle school students.
"The purpose is to get kids excited and interested in science, technology and engineering and prepare them for the future," said Ann Kutz, judge and volunteer.
Each year there is a different challenge – this year's being "Body Forward," which focused on biomedical engineering, or ground-breaking ways to repair injuries, overcome genetic predispositions and increase the body's potential.
Teams are judged in four competition categories – each worth 25 percent – including Robot Performance, Project Presentation, Robot Design and Teamwork. Besides construction of a Lego robot that performs tasks on a playing field, the teams are asked to research a problem facing today's scientists and present their findings.
The Bionicle Brains (pictured above), a team of fourth- and fifth-graders from Colonial Trail Elementary in Glen Allen, created a solution for poor circulation in the body as part of their project. "They came up with a made-up 'button' that would help monitor and increase blood flow in the body," said Deb Gribbon, coach and fifth-grade teacher for Colonial Trail.
The Lego-robot battle – the "main event" – was held in the school's gymnasium, where a few members of one team, consisting of 10 players, battled another team to see whose robot could complete the most tasks in two and a half minutes.
"It's really fun, and you get to learn a lot about robotics," said Elle Rosenbaum of the Bio Bots team. She's a seventh-grader at Goochland Middle school and has participated the past several years.
FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is a non-profit organization that helps students 6-18 foster an interest in math and science, learn life skills and prepare them for future career paths through their programs and annual competitions.
In addition to the FLL, the FIRST program also has a junior league for children in kindergarten through the third grade, and two high school competitions, FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) and FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC).
"We had six weeks to design, prototype, and build a 120 pound robot," said Deep Run senior Matthew Petrie, a member of the Blue Cheese team, describing the FRC competition. During the FLL event, the team displayed last year's robot – a four-wheeled machine that could kick around a soccer ball, which was inspired by the World Cup.
The Blue Cheese Robotics Team 1086 has been the regional winner at VCU for the past three years and won the North Carolina regional this year. It also won the Chairman's Award last year for its ability to build and demonstrate robots to the community.
Fran Nolen, assistant coach of the Blue Cheese team and a high school physics teacher for 12 years, said the culture of the program has taken hold at Deep Run.
"I have an engineering background and have slowly made this a part of the curriculum here," Nolen said.
FIRST was founded 1989 by Dean Kamen, an American entrepreneur and inventor. FIRST involves over 212,000 students, 19,134 teams, 57,376 mentors, over 34,000 volunteers and more than 3,500 sponsors including LEGO, NASA and many others. The program educates students in 57 countries about science and technology while building skills in innovation, leadership a nd self-confidence.

I think if critics were needed or talented for that matter they would be doing what they're criticizing rather then criticizing it. The worst of it is, the majority of them are more pretentious then the producers who produced what they're criticizing, they're purpose is as about important as box office income figures and helping nothing other then to fill certain peoples pocket books. Since the days of Siskel & Ebert it has been hard to believe that any 'critic' would not give credit to the highest bidder. If anyone can do it it can't be a washed-up profession as that would require it to be a profession to begin with. It should always be taken with a grain of salt and at most if they make you think anything what so ever, it should be why are these people getting paid to mislead my own judgment? – Variety subscriber
Walt Disney once said, "We are not trying to entertain the critics. I'll take my chances with the public." The disconnect between "jaded" critics and the public clearly has been palpable since before his passing in 1966.
With the technology advances since then, the value of the film critic has greatly diminished, if not evaporated completely. The public can now go to their computer to watch a trailer, view production stills, hear interviews of the stars, and read the responses from paid moviegoers who have seen the film.
I put far more weight in the average opinion of many audience members than I do in the opinion of a single film critic. One critic responding to this question stated that his opinion, even if completely out-of-touch, "is no less valid." Perhaps, but the problem is that although his opinion may have "equal validity," it has become something that has almost "zero value" to the consumer. This was the entire point of Bart's article.
If you read the critic's response to this question, he seems to feel that he has the divine gift of discernment that enables him to identify an "inept" movie from a quality film simply by virtue of the fact that his business card reads, "Movie Critic." Herein lies the problem. Critics live in an entirely subjective world, yet their uniformly narrow, skewed, and inflexible reviewing systems only serve to increasingly minimize their relevance to a very broad audience.
In my opinion, it appears that critics tend to write for other critics, rather than the potential ticket buyer.
So let the critics continue to write their reviews that toe-the-line with their peers. This makes some sense, given that they are the few left who care to read it. As for me, just like Walt Disney, I'll take my chances with the public. – Variety subscriber
I'm glad you asked, since Peter Bart lobbed a stink bomb at film critics a few weeks back in his column, but never gave Variety's own critics a chance to respond. He wrote that those of us who've elected as a career the folly of judging a film by its artistic merits "may be shopping around for a new line of work," suggesting that critics in general have been rendered irrelevant by opinions that didn't match the general public's enthusiasm for "Ghost Rider" and "Wild Hogs."
He may be right about our employment prospects, but he misidentifies the cause. It's a sad fact that newspapers everywhere are consolidating critics, firing their local reviewers in favor of columnists who are either cheaper or more popular (Village Voice Media is a prime example, letting some of its best critics go, to be replaced by reviews syndicated from within their network of papers), while the rise of amateur opinion-givers on the Web offers impressions aplenty for any movie. So is this the wrong time to say, as I do, "I want to be a film critic when I grow up?" Probably so, but that doesn't make our reviews of "Ghost Rider" or "Wild Hogs" any less valid.
So what if the best movie in theaters this weekend does no business and the worst earns $50 million? Do the audiences know something we don't? Possibly, but I'd suggest it's the effectiveness of the marketing departments, not the artistry of the filmmakers that is responsible for those numbers. After attacking out-of-touch critics, Peter lets slip the line, "There's always a degree of culture shock when movies this inept produce numbers this ecstatic," which suggests that he, too, measures a certain disconnect between quality and box-office performance.
Clearly, some movies are simply "critic-proof" — that is, audiences will go regardless of what the reviews say. Sony (the same studio that invented David Manning to pepper its marketing material with invented review blurbs) proved the case with "Ghost Rider," which they forbade critics from seeing in advance (while embracing the ever-optimistic junket press with open arms). But that doesn't mean critics don't matter. For every "Ghost Rider" review a paper can't run on opening day, that's more space for write-ups of the perfectly wonderful films for which audiences have not already been so inundated by advertising that a well-worded endorsement could actually make a difference, possibly even convincing them to redirect that hard-earned $10 to a movie they wouldn't otherwise have considered. – Variety staffer
If film critics are indeed washed up, why do Hollywood distributors hide their lesser movies from the press on opening day? If film critics are truly obsolete and don't matter any more, then the studios wouldn't fear what they say about "Next" or "The Invisible."But they do. Critics mattered so much to a Sony exec that he Frankensteined the world's greatest quote whore — David Manning — to spread the artistic virtues of "The Animal" and "The Hollow Man." A critic's job isn't to keep people out of "bad" movies or compel them to attend "good" movies. A critic's No. 1 job is simply to inspire thought about the stuff we put into heads through our eyes and ears. – film critic
Film critics? They'll survive. There is so much going on in the industry these days, critics are the only way I can cut through the oversaturation and get to the crux of the stories being presented. I use trusted critics as a channel for filtering out films that wouldn't interest me. A negative review doesn't deter me from seeing a film if the subject matter, writers, directors and actors tickle my film fancy. – Variety subscriber
Watching the trailer pretty much tells me whether I will be spending my money on a movie at the theater. Most films critiques don't have the same opinion I have anyway. If the trailer looks like the movie is going to be a dud and a large portion of film reviewers say it is, I would probably listen. Their power of making or breaking a film is long gone thou. The general public is much smarter these days and will make up their own minds.
So, basically no. They should be downsized, not needed. – Variety subscriber
I rarely read film reviews. Critics have their own agenda and usually love movies I'd never consider watching. I make my own decisions. – Variety subscriber
I see an opportunity for a new Web site: the site would ask you to rate say 20 films, then it would show you reviews from critics (professional or not) who shared your preferences. I love film reviews in theory, but in practice they are often useless to me because I don't share the preferences of the critics. – filmmaker
Critics are really out of touch with the tastes of regular movie goers. Audiences clearly see what they want to see, regardless of what the critics have to say, which is why more and more studios don't bother screening certain movies a
t all for them.
"Ghost Rider," "Wild Hogs," and Tyler Perry's films quickly come to mind as films that were destroyed by critics, but made a ton of money. "Grindhouse" and "Zodiac" are examples of the opposite.
Critics only seem to matter to studio executives, especially around awards season, when they're trying to decide which of their films/actors they want to start pushing for the big year end prizes. – Variety subscriber
If I want to see a particular movie, I'll see it no matter what the critics say. However, their review will often determine whether I see it in a theater or wait for the DVD. – screenwriter
I think this depends on what kind of film critic you are talking about. There are those critics that genuinely choose to discuss films by their aesthetics and content, drawing on previous film criticism as a background. The general aim is to promote thinking about particular films as well as the films themselves –- usually those that would never have the chance for a broad or international audience. However, if we're discussing critics who adhere to the simple "thumbs up, thumbs down" model, then maybe we don't need them as much. Short blurbs about cast and basic plot are great from a marketing standpoint, but are barely criticism. – Variety subscriber
Film Critic's are like weather reports: people will only believe what they want they want to believe, but they still want to know the outcome. Critic's will survive. – Variety subscriber
Film critics are still needed to preview a film and talk about a film so that the public can be educated. A film critic can build up the momentum to see a particular film, however, I don't think the majority of the public will listen to a film critic if he/she trashes a certain movie. – Variety subscriber

Moral education is missingJanuary 08,2013
I wish to thank T. Elijah Hawkes for his commentary on school safety (Jan. 3). He is trying to address a very difficult issue. However, I have to disagree with his basic premise that public schools ... make us safer. I think a reasonable argument could be made that today the opposite is true. Our schools are not allowed to teach that absolute truth and accompanying moral obligations exist. When they did teach those ideas in the past, they provided us with a common understanding and helped to make our society safer and more civil. However, the trend in the last 60 years has been to enforce a secular humanist education in public schools. This philosophy holds that there is no higher power to which we are responsible and which will hold us accountable. When followed to its logical conclusion, eventually all that remains are our individual subjective values. No value is right or wrong, and we cannot judge anyone. Our society appears to be at that point.
Having reached that point, the question is who has the power to enforce their values. Power becomes the only decision-making tool. That has happened throughout our society. We no longer respect the other person as a person; their value is based on their utility to us. When they oppose us, everything is focused on defeating them and imposing our values. This has made for a dangerous and combative society, not a safe one. The public schools have been the major tool to bring our society to accept the secular humanist worldview. This worldview has brought pain and turmoil to our society. We are less civil and less safe, and public schools are a significant factor.

It's not all Aston Martins and Brioni suits for hedge fund managers this year. As Bloomberg reports, "It's a confluence of tricky markets, super-cautious investors and a tough fundraising environment that's making it a difficult time for hedge-fund managers." The latest addition to the 775 funds that were shuttered last year (the most since 2009) sees California-dreamer Paul Sinclair liquidating his $458mm health-care equity fund as "political decisions made on the other side of the globe have undermined his stock picks and spurred losses for a second year." Physically and mentally exhausted from his travails (planning to spend the summer sleeping and relaxing), Sinclair joins the wannabe likes of Zoe Cruz and three ex-Moore Capital managers, as he honestly notes "I don't have an edge on Greek elections, the Spanish banking system, what the European Central Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the Chinese government, Angela Merkel, or the U.S. Federal Reserve will do." It seems an increasing number of masters-of-the-universe are awakening to what retail seemed to figure out over the past few years - that everyone's a hero in a central-bank-liquidity-driven rally - and as one other hedge fund manager noted in his investor letter "Markets seem to be driven more by the latest news out of Europe than by a company's earnings prospects, we have not weathered the ensuing volatility well." Once again correlations are rising - 30-day correlation coefficient between the MSCI World Index and its members is 0.92, compared with the average since 1995 of 0.73 - as all that over-priced alpha is shown up as 'central-bank' beta.

Message to the hedge fund community: No Alpha, no pussy <g>
But can a beta male still get some love?
Maybe in his circles, everyone is concerned about Europe (as they should be), but on Main Street it is DWTS.
Climate change is so last decade. Top trending now is #RihannasBox. Get with the times. /sarc
As it should be, since climate change is a fraud but Rihannas box is real.
Haha! Though I might need an Al Gore movie to be fully convinced of its existence.
I can't believe that people on ZH still believe in the fucking man made climate change scam?
Of course the weather is changing, as it has done for millions of years (and quite dramaticly if I may add).
Fucking hippies ruining the lives of decent people with their "carbon taxes" and other idiot ideas.
I know I will get 400+ red little arrows, BUT FUCK YOU, YOU TREEHUGGING FUCKING HIPPIES!
You call yourself an imbecile. I guess you beat the rest of us to it!
I'm no climate scientist, and I'm guessing you aren't either. But when something like 98% of them world wide agree we have a serious problem, that should be good enough for the rest of us. Unless you have something tangible that says no that didn't come from some group or researchers paid by the oil and power companies?
98% of Catholic theologians also agreed on how many angels could dance on the head of a pin. Before Einstein, 99% of physicists agreed. So what? If you want to pay carbon taxes, go ahead, just leave the rest of us alone.
That's it? That's all you got? Pointing out prior ignorance to support your point? Well, I guess if ignorance is all you have, run with it! I'm guessing science has advanced a long way since then, so that's where I tend to agree.
Maybe you also think that those millions of tons of noxious, poisonous crap we've been spewing into the atmosphere these past 100 years just gets waved away by the Pixie Dust Fairies too?
Blah, blah, blah more useless fear mongering... all you want is to make my money your money. If you cared about the environment instead of a free ride, why don't you go to Japan and help clean up Fukushima? We will be dead from radiation long before the nasty CO2 gets us.
You got nothing, just like all the other climate deniers. You point out theologans who knew nothing, and how scientists of the day agreed with them. Why, of course, they did. Disagreeing with those morons got them sent to prison. You can look it up.
And I do care about the environment, which is why I agree with the overwhelming majority of people that know what the fuck they're talking about. Unless your years of climate study says otherwise?
You sound like a reincarnation of the goofmeister. Climate denier, now thats original. Bet you thought that one up all by yourself.
It the majority agreed, so what? Science is not a political decision. Climate science is a fraud paid by the banksters to force carbon taxes on the sheeple.
Anyways I got better things to do than argue with a bankster shill. Next time when I wan to hear from an asshole, I'll fart.
You are truly an idiot. Go back to getting your information from the t.v. Fox News, I'm guessing?
Part of my problem with "climate change" is the solution is always more taxes and more control over individuals. You guys are statists, first and foremost. There are other solutions. Propose them or go away.
No, the solution is energy conservation and renewable energy. I have no idea why this is so hard for you people. I guess for you, there always has to be some grand conspriacy in everything. Sometimes, it's really simple.
But then, if you're gullible to all the ''research'' being put out by the energy companies and other polluters, that's where you end up.

Classic Bill Murray-SNL
Funny, I thought earnings prospects were no longer relevant either because robots don't give a rats ass.
Why don't these Hedge Fund managers get together and buy precious metals???
Hard to get paid a performance fee on negative returns...
then the cftc will suddenly complete their investigation, and put limits on positiion size
Yeah, limit size of longs, unlimited shorts netting to the benefit of Blythe.
And I don't mean Eastman Dillon.
HFs (non insider trading ones) are the last non crony capitalists in finance. No wonder they suffer when the banks get bailed out constantly and the central banks kill and manipulate the free markets.
Exactly, I'm not sure why hedge funds are now getting bashed on here. Its like most of the commenters just don't want to see anyone else be successful. Hedge Funds aren't getting bailed out, they are placing bets and if they win they make money. You can tell there area bunch of poor people in here as they despise anyone that can earn a living
Agreed - at least they are allowed to fail. However, investors serve a purpose in an efficient economy - to invest in businesses and help them grow. HF don't invest - they place bets. If all investors took their money exclusively to the casinos every day, we'd certainly be trashing that behavior.
On the other hand, this behavior is a symptom of the central bank inference and poor policies from the government. Solve this problem, and real investors will return.
All your investments are bets.
All mom and pop investments in GEVare just bets that it is a good company that will be there for the long haul. Gambling, investing, placing bets, scratching lotto cards, buying powerball tickets are all synonymous.
It's the leverage and high turnover that make the betting culture a problem (and the fee structure that incentivizes this behavior). Make a long-term bet on a new factory, software development, etc and manage that to deliver long-term returns, then you have productive capital management. Taking highly-levered risks on complex (fictitious?) financial products and whipping in and out of them with the whims of the market is quite the opposite.
Not true. If you have an idea, and I give you money to turn it into a business, that is an investment. Yes, it is also a bet on your success, but you are producing something of value with it, you can employ people, and your idea has the potential of improving society.
If I buy an option on an ETF, I am simply betting on its movement. The money sits around and produces nothing. It is a pure bet, and not an investment.
+100% correct.
The correct terms are:
Investment: buying an asset because it will generate a revenue stream
Speculation: buying an asset because it will be more worth in the future
The reason for this popular confusion is the stock market full of "growth" shares that won't pay out dividends.
Further, speculation is often the major cause of bubbles, particularly because you can't judge the performance based on the revenue stream.
I think what people are annoyed at is that some of these guys are getting billions and billions of dollars from pension funds because the pension funds are corrupt, making 50M a year, and can't even beat an index. And the fact that they have somehow convinced anyone that they are worth a 2% fee and 20% of the winnings. Sure, a few out there are, but 95% are not. Good luck finding that 5%. I like Bridgewater, Kyle Bass, and Seth Klarman and that's about it.
The heart bleeds, Tyler!
If your job was to moving around money in ways that made you richer and someone else poorer, and that made you richer than someone moving around something real (say tomatoes... or garbage), then you probably didn't do anything real and therefore didn't earn anything real (nor did you deserve it). Hope all the hedge funds die, and along with them the corrupt markets they hedge on. Fuck people who don't do anything and get rich by being in the right place at the right time, doing wrong things...
There was a time when hedge funds had some real role to play in capital allocation and closure of market gaps, however marginal that role may have been.
Today, the majority are just Dinosaurs before the commets shower.
Agreed & hope Paulie boy is "sleeping and relaxing" in a box under a bridge somewhere this summer. Would be a great summer should reality re-assert itself & nature revert to the mean...
Just a basic reading of Hayek will tell you that when markets come under the thumbs of the political class, valuations will soon be made on a political basis, not a profit-loss basis.
Hedge funds aren't wrong. But in an age when the politicals have slipped their leashes, instead of reading Barron's, HF's need to read HuffPo, the Nation, the NYT, and other such effulent, for the latest fad. Or start showing up at Obama fundraisers.
eventually valuations are made on a political basis, not a profit-loss basis.
Uhm, hate to burst your bubble but those two are one in the same. The only question being how that political basis operates. Presently, they're not fairing too well anywhere you look.
Ummm, wrong.
Stock prices are not reflecting real value. Mining stocks for example
How many hedge funds go out of business on average every year? Aren't there like 8,000 of them? Wouldn't they all have some excuse why they failed
Well, it's all F250's and Carhartt suits for me, bitchez.
not me. Im getting out. Just sold all 80 million shares of bank of america. You know what the boys in the pit below me like to say, prune in june. Buy in july!

Trying to front-run the front-runners with the inside information is a losing game. Retail had this figured out two+ years ago.
Your right. The boys did 7 million in the pit yesterday. I said if we hit 5 million we would all go out for pizza and beer. The boys were pumpin there fists in the air and hootin and hollering after we hit our goal. Our supercomputer on the 3rd floor accurately forecasted the market perfectly.
and my distributed/super app ( pardon virus ) running on your smart ( pardon dummy ) phone is getting me some fee CPU cycles for my personal super computer forecasting and of course not only that ...
Paul Sinclair liquidating his $458mm health-care equity fund

Coastal habitat is crucial for storm protection
Preserving coastal habitats such as coral reefs could greatly reduce the number of people and value of property vulnerable to flooding and other storm damage in the United States, researchers say in Nature Climate Change.
In the U.S., "the combination of storms and rising seas is already putting valuable property and large numbers of people in harm's way," the team writes. Cities often respond to such threats by building more barriers against encroaching waters. But natural defenses already exist in the form of marshes, kelp forests, seagrass, mangroves, and reefs.
The authors wanted to find out which coastal habitats were most critical to preserve for storm protection. They mapped hazards, residential properties, and human populations (particularly the poor and elderly) along the U.S. coast.
The team estimates that by 2100, "high hazard" areas will contain about 1.7 to 2.1 million people and $400 to $500 billion of residential property. If coastal habitats are lost, the number of people and the property value in danger would roughly double. Florida, New York, and California benefit the most from these natural shields, the authors say. — Roberta Kwok | 15 July 2013

Robichaux hurls Cajuns past Nicholls
LAFAYETTE – Paced by the arm of Crowley native Justin Robichaux and fueled by the bats of Chad Keefer and Jordan Poirrier, Louisiana's Ragin' Cajuns moved to 2-0 on the season with a 6-2 victory over Nicholls State at M.L. "Tigue" Moore Field Saturday afternoon.
Robichaux, a former Notre Dame standout who ended last year with a 0.71 ERA in his six starts, picked up where he left off from last season on the mound. The senior hurler threw seven innings of four-hit ball while striking out six. He threw only 88 pitches.
Keefer and Poirrier, hitting fourth and fifth in the lineup, combined to go 5-of-7 at the plate with 5 RBI.
The Ragin' Cajuns would have had the shutout if not for a two-out error in the ninth inning that led to two unearned runs for the Colonels (0-2).
The two teams wrap up their season-opening series on Sunday at Ray Didier Field in Thibodaux. Game time is set for 6 p.m. UL's T.J. Geith makes his collegiate debut on the mound and will face a starter to be named for Nicholls.
Louisiana got on the board in their half of the first inning. Keefer delivered a two-out double into the left center gap to score Matt Goulas who began the rally with a walk.
The Cajuns gave Robichaux all the breathing room he would need with a three-spot in the third inning.
Brian Bowman led off with a double to left center then Alex Fuselier was hit by an offering from Nicholls starter Clint Dempster. Two at bats later, Poirrier cashed in with a two-RBI single that scored Bowman and Fuselier for a 3-0 lead.
Keefer later doubled home Poirrier to stretch the lead to 4-0.
Robichaux gave up no more than one hit per inning the rest of his outing and the Cajuns defense turned double plays in the fourth and fifth innings.
Randall Bulliard relieved Robichaux and worked a perfect eighth and had a perfect ninth inning going until a two-out error by Poirrier allowed Chase Jaramillo to reach base and keep the Colonels at bat alive. Back-to-back base hits occurred spoiling the Cajuns chance at the shutout.
The Ragin' Cajuns defeated Nicholls 10-1 Sunday at Ra Didier Feild in Thibodeaux. It was the Cajuns' 12th win over the Colonels in the past 15 meetings in the all-time series.
The Cajuns return to action again Friday evening when they play host to Miami University at 6 o'clock.

The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear oral arguments in two major cases involving the same-sex marriage debate, Tuesday and Wednesday.
Just a few days ago a long line of people camped out in front of the Supreme Court to get a seat for this week's gay marriage battles. Many fear the rulings on the cases could open the doors for gay marriage nationwide.
On Tuesday, the justices will hear arguments challenging California's Proposition 8, a law approved by California voters in 2008 and by a California judge in 2010. It requires the state to recognize only marriages between a man and a woman.
Lawyers opposing Prop 8 will ask the High Court to strike down the law.
On the docket Wednesday are parts of the Defense of Marriage Act passed by Congress with a large majority in 1996. It prevents same-sex couples from receiving federal tax, pension, and other benefits available to married people.
Last week, the American Academy of Pediatrics announced its support for gay marriage. Gay parents Jason Howe and Adrian Parez hope it will resonate with the justices.
"The important thing is that the child has two parents who are involved in his or her life, and not the sexual orientation of the parents," Howe said.
But some church leaders are warning that the legalization of gay marriage could end the institution of marriage itself.
"What I fear would happen is that people will just not be interested in marrying anymore. marriage will become irrelevant," Salvatore Cordileone, archbishop of San Francisco, said.
The archbishop said what the Church teaches about marriage will be viewed as prejudiced.
"If we want to know how people who do hold that view will be treated, we have to think about how a racial bigot is treated in the country today," he said.
Why is it so important for the Church to stand up for traditional marriage? Bishop Harry Jackson, senior pastor of Hope Christian Church, spoke about this and more on Newswatch, March 25, following this report.

Historical Traveler Reviews Arubiana Inn Oranjestad
Home away from home
Really nice and friendly. Just what we needed, no high-rise hotel and no waiting-in-line tourism, just relaxed. Near the beach. Perfect host Gaston. We will return here on our next trip to Aruba!
Great stay in Arubiana Inn
Yesterday I have returned from a splendous week in Aruba. I stayed at the Arubiana Inn. A nice hotel with a personal touch. Host Gaston Verlaan wants you to have a great time, and he want to make sure it's not his fault when you don't. The breakfast is every day a surprise. You wake up and the morningpaper hangs on the doorhandle. The only 18 rooms make that you feel at home. People have time for a little chat if you want that. I can surely recommend this nice hotel for your stay in Aruba.
Great Motel
We loved the Arubiana Inn. The rooms are set motel-style around the pool. The Inn is off the beaten track but handy for Oranjestad restaurants. Gaston could not have been nicer - making us sandwiches when we arrived late and tired. Complimentary beer/coke in the fridge. Microwave and coffee-making facilities. Breakfast served round the pool, outside your room if you want it.
Exceptional value in Aruba
My wife and I spent a lovely last week of December at the Arubiana Inn, which should especially appeal to those like us who enjoy taking advantage of exceptional values, based on a combination of price, location, comfort, and ambience. As others have written, this recently renovated hotel is managed by a new owner, the ever-helpful and friendly Gaston, who has created a cheerful, quiet enclave on a side street, just two minutes drive from Eagle Beach, between the high-rise hotels of Palm Beach and Oranjestad. While one could walk to the beach and some restaurants, a rental car is recommended since the walk itself would not be so pretty, and there are many other more "remote" beaches (all with ample parking) within a 10 to 15 minute drive (we liked to sit under the divi-divi tree at Arashi Beach). The rooms are simple, but very clean, with a microwave, fridge, and water heater, as well as a safe box and TV. The rooms all surround a pleasant pool area, and WiFi is available for $10/day or $40/week (Tip: make sure you check your email for your WiFi account number since you'll need it to log back in after your first session).
Great Value
We stayed at the Arubiana Inn 8 nights after Christmas. The $80/night rate was an exceptional value for this time of year when many hotels were charging 4-5 times as much. The owner-operator, Gaston, was extremely friendly, helpful and gracious. Even though the motel was fully booked, it was always quiet, with plenty of room to lounge around the pool. The motel was a 10 minute walk from a great restaurant "Madam Jeanette's" and 15 minute walk from an excellent beach. The views of the New Year's fireworks were fantastic.
Great place to stay!
The Arubiana Inn is a small, quiet, clean and comfortable place to stay. When we arrived, Gaston, the owner came out and welcomed us and helped us with our luggage. Talk about personal service! He was more than helpful and made us feel very welcome. The courtyard is a wonderful place to sit and relax, or enjoy the pool. There are several tables and chairs around, hammocks and the palm trees have lights around them which gives off a charming glow in the evening - true carribean style!
Most important to us when we travel is cleanliness, and this was a very clean room as well as a very comfortable king bed. It was convenient to have a microwave & refrigerator in the room also. The most beautiful beaches were only a couple minutes drive away with easy parking and were never crowded. We were extremely happy with the Arubiana Inn and will definately stay there again!
Lovbed the Arubiana Inn
I just came back from Aruba. I spent a week overthere together witrh my two daughters (17 and 14). I heard good stories about this hotel. The price was okay ($ 80,- pro room) so we took the chance. It was great. We all enjoyed our stay overthere!
The pool was great, the breakfast was very tasteful and a lot of vitamines.
It was nice to sit in front of my room and overvieuwing the pool and sipping a glass of wine.
The distance to the beach was no problem but nevertheless Gaston helped me to hire a car because there are some beautiful places on aruba, that we liked to visit.
Gaston gave us also some ideas about where to eat in the evening (there is a very nice restaurant very nearby)
The rooms were perfect. I was told that they were just renovated. I must say they did a good job.
The last thing I want to say is: please go there and experience it yourself!!
Arubiana Inn hotel with a personal approach
For a change I stayed in the small (18 rooms) Arubiana Inn instead of one of the big hotels
on the beach. It was a very positive exprience. Apart from the fair price (only 70-85 dollar for a double room) it is a pleasure to stay in this renovated hotel, with its nice and clean rooms and an inviting pool, only 5 minutes from the beach.
The new owner Gaston really knows how to pamper people in an easy and personel way.
I am looking forward to go there with my family for a holiday in July.
Arubiana Snafu
It is difficult to actually write a review. My sister and I (both in our 20's), made reservations that were confirmed and our local phone number was given. I asked the man who took our reservations if he needed any other info, - he said no, it was all set. We walked over from the Marriott (where we had participated in a wedding and stayed for a few nights) with all our bags. We saw our name on the register, but the manager had given away our room to someone who paid cash, since we had not pre-paid. They never tried to contact us, nor were we told we had to prepay. It was a Friday evening and the manager was not apologetic and would not help us find other accommodations. We had relied on the statements of the reservations clerk and were left with no room!
Adequate accommodations for budget traveler
This is a 1* motel somewhat reminiscent of an older Motel 6. It is a decent value at $55 during low season but $85 during high season is too much. There is an additional 6% tax but no 10-12% service charge like most hotels on the island. It is inland from Eagle Beach and probably about a 10-15 minute walk from there. It is located near some restaurants and a supermarket but a car would be helpful if staying here. The room is plain but clean and quiet. It had an adequate queen bed, microwave, refrigerator, phone, and cable TV (which got a lot of stations). The lighting was somewhat dim and the reading light by the bed worked only by pulling the plug in and out since the lamp switch was broken. The room air conditioner worked well and was a bit quieter than most room air conditioners. The bathroom could have used a renovation. While it had warm water at a comfortable temperature (which is apparently not guaranteed in Aruba's budget lodgings), neither the water for the sink or shower could be adjusted to a different temperature. The lighting in the bathroom was also dim. It featured a lighting area above the sink which could contain several bulbs but only one burned out bulb was there. There is a courtyard featuring a pool in front of all of the rooms.

that's how this started for me. I had just decided to buy one when the price jumped from around $1000 to $1300 and rising.
I am eligible for the Smith and Wesson LE discount so i started looking at their commander size 1911s. They seem to get good reviews.
They do make a scandium/stainless mdl# 108310
and a scandium/carbon steel mdl# 108283

I have a Colt 1991a1 Combat commander in all stainless steel - really like it! Basic no frills 1911, superbly built and assembled, and a great shooter. Runs perfectly right out of the box, or serves as a solid platform for mods if desired (thus far the only one I'm thinking of is some night sights, but I'm just going to shoot it as is for awhile more before I make any changes).

Don't get confused with the S&W models. The 108310 is not a Commander sized 1911, it is CCO size. It has a Commander slide group on an Officer size frame. It carries one round less than a Government/Commander pistol.
S&W also has Commander sized 108304 which is the Gunsite model, 108296 with Crimson Trace laser grips, and 408283 that looks identical to the 108283 PD.
Springfield, Kimber, and all the Armscor Commander(ish) pistols have a 4" barrel and don't use a bushing. Colt, S&W, Dan Wesson, Les Baer, Ed Brown have true Commander length 4 1/4" barrels and use a bushing. Most use the short GI guide rod.
If any of that makes a difference to you.

I know a lot of people over here, a lot of good players. I guess there was a comfort level coming over here, which was something I needed. I just like the situation over here. I think they're putting together a good team and I want to be part of a winner.
Did being traded midway through last season from the Indians to the Dodgers play any part in that?
Well, yeah. Instead of going to camp with people I don't know, I get to go to camp with people I do know. I don't have to start new, because people here know what I've done and what I can do. Most of these players in the clubhouse have played together with me or against me, and that's a big thing.
What did you think of your couple of months with Los Angeles?
I had a real good time out there in L.A. I wore blue jeans and a camouflage hat out there and I probably started a new trend. But I had a real good time there, good guys and it was a lot of fun there.
How about New York? This is a place that you've come into a number of times as an opponent. What are your impressions of the city?
I like New York. I've never had the opportunity to play for either New York club and I'd love to play for a New York team. That's another reason: I'd like to come in and play for this market.
What do you feel like you need to do to make the club?
I don't worry about all that stuff. I just do what I can do, and I can't do any more than that. I feel pretty good physically, and I feel like a kid now. To make this team, I think I've just got to pitch. Other than that, I should be OK. Just keeping it simple.

CLEMSON -- Like South Carolina, Clemson's bowl opponent has a rich basketball tradition -- and a middling football one.
Here's a look at what Clemson can expect when meeting Kentucky (7-5, 3-5 SEC) on Dec. 27 in the Music City Bowl:
1. These aren't the pass-happy, Tim Couch-led Wildcats.
When Clemson returns to practice after exams next week, the Tigers will have 10 practices to repair its run defense.
Sure, the Georgia Tech triple-option scheme that troubled the Tigers is difficult to prepare for, but the Tigers' run defense issues date back beyond the ACC title game and loss to South Carolina.
The Gamecocks rushed for 223 yards against the Tigers. And South Carolina is last in the SEC in rushing.
Kentucky finished fifth in rushing (193 rushing yards per game) in the SEC and averaged 4.6 yards per carry.
Kentucky quarterback/running back/receiver Randall Cobb is an explosive, versatile threat, leading the team with a 6.4 yards per carry average. He was second to Alabama's Mark Ingram in the SEC with 18 touchdowns.
To tighten up the rush defense, Dabo Swinney said there could be personnel changes.
Swinney said the problems stopping the run were not the fault of scheme or the defensive line, meaning the Clemson linebackers and corners might need to have strong practice showings to keep their jobs.
Junior quarterback Mike Hartline started the season's first five games before being sidelined by a knee injury, which limited the Kentucky passing attack.
Hartline has been working out again and might begin individual drills during practice next week. Wildcats coach Rich Brooks has not ruled him out for the bowl game.
But Hartline was just 2-3 as a starter. Kentucky went 5-2 after freshman Morgan Newton took over.
3. The Kentucky defense rests … sometimes.
Kentucky's defense ranks 10th in the SEC, allowing 362 yards per game. However, the Wildcats are not devoid of defensive talent.
Corey Peters is a first team All-SEC selection at defensive tackle, and he'll match up against a Clemson interior offensive line featuring little depth following Mason Cloy's season-ending injury and David Smith's move to tackle.
Peters has 11 tackles for loss and four sacks.
In the Wildcats' base 4-3 defense, linebacker Micah Johnson was a second-team conference selection and cornerback Trevard Lindley also earned second-team honors, despite missing four games.
4. Record-setting Wildcats.
This might be one of Brooks' better coaching jobs, in what some speculate might be his final season. According to the school's sports information department, Kentucky exceeded expectations of all national media outlets.
Consider these numbers:
--Kentucky has won at least seven straight games in four straight seasons, the first time since 1909-12.
--The Wildcats are on an 18-game non-conference winning streak, the nation's second longest.
--Kentucky defeated Auburn for the first time since 1966 and won at Georgia for the first time since 1977.
--The Music City Bowl appearance will mark a school-best fourth consecutive bowl appearance.
5. Morale matters.
The last time Clemson met Kentucky was in the same town in the same game: the 2006 Music City Bowl. It was also a Clemson loss. And like the last meeting, the Tigers enter bowl preparation coming off a defeat. In 2006, the Tigers came off a loss to South Carolina. This year, the Tigers are on a two-game losing streak, with some questioning the morale of the team. Kentucky had won three straight to before losing to Tennessee in overtime to finish the season.
