Anyone follow the plan?
Dave Ramsey
I'm following a modified version of his plan....
I love Dave Ramsey. However, I do not believe being a millionaire means happiness. Happiness comes from inside. My goal is to live comfortably, not live on "rice and beans" for years in order to be a millionaire. If the world ended tomorrow, I wouldn't get to enjoy a glass of wine today, LOL.
However, this is coming from someone who has no debt, except a mortgage.
I think Cathy (mod) followed the plan. I've applied some of the principles, but modified. Example, I don't snowball from smallest debt to largest, I do it based on interest rates, etc.
I follow it a little to I pay off by interest rate not smallest balance also
Yup, we followed it and got rid of all of our credit card debt ($35K) in a year. We've since relaxed and haven't been putting away the money like we should in our emergency fund, but we do have the knowledge now on how to make MUCH better financial decisions.
We follow the Dave Ramsey plan. We got our emergency fund of $1000 first and then we started getting rid of our debt starting with the smallest. Right now all we have left is my school loan and then our mortgage. We also do the envelope system. That was hard to do at first b/c I was so used to just putting everything on credit card. Now I only use cash or check. I'm so glad we got on the Dave plan otherwise we were on our way to getting into some real bad debt. We grew up and started "Acting our Wage"
I'll revive this thread! DH and I took Dave Ramsey's FPU at our church @ 2 years ago...and while I'd love to say we are debt free, we are not...YET! But we're working on it and we learned A LOT from that class! We have had several periods where I worked for 6 months then was laid off for 8 months, worked for 8 months then was laid off again...but using his letters/templates/budgets, we never lost the cars or house during those times! And we learned how to stave off some collection calls! We learned how to negotiate some of our old debt off after we were both working again and now we're paying down on our snowball. We also use a modified version of his plan. His concept is awesome but not feasible for everyone...especially those still on a paycheck to paycheck basis. We'll have one of 2 vehicles paid off in the next few months and we how to take off after that (we plan on paying cash for the next vehicles, whenever that may be)! So, hopefully soon we'll just have the mortgage! Yeah!
buying the book would be an un needed expense for me so i have heard about the plan, read his little article in our local paper, and i know what i should be doing but it is really hard. if i were to save a $1000 emergency fund, i would probably use it to move into a bigger apartment right now, buy a better working vehicle, or pay off nearly 1/3 of our credit card debt. i would consider all of those things emergencies and use the money for that. i am working on the CC debt like suggested (because the smallest one right now is the biggest interest rate) but its not like we make enough money to even save that much, even living on rice and beans (or foodbank food) some months we barely bring home a total of $1000 so thats a whole month worth of income for use to save, and we dont have that much wiggle room, even if we dont have milk for 2 weeks because we cant afford it, and we have only eaten at a resteraunt once this month, and i BF and Cloth diaper the baby.
2 months into it and we have 2 bills paid off both where less then $200 but for us to be paying more then the min $10 and not struggling is exciting. How we did it is DH took a 2nd job working at a fast food restruant everyother weekend and all his money is going to paying down our snow ball. All lunches are noodles or snadwiches and we have stopped all eatting out, and any eatting out we do ($5 on a pazone last week) comes from the food budget it is not extra. I shop at Aldi's, cloth diaper and breatfeed. Carrot sticks, cheese sticks and sandwiches make cheep school lunches. I too have started to keep kids before and after school to bring in some cash.
i should find some kiddo's to watch in my spare time. i might make more than i do working here once i get back to college this fall. or at least i could trade someone to watch Ellie on tuesdays and i could watch a kiddo another day...

INDIANAPOLIS -- Clinton Portis just knew his teammates would take Denver into the playoffs.
Quentin Griffin, Mike Anderson and Jake Plummer didn't disappoint.
With an injured Portis cheering from the sideline, Griffin ran for 136 yards, Anderson added 56 yards and a touchdown and Plummer ran for two scores as the Broncos pounded Indianapolis 31-17.
"I think I'm playing for my job," Portis joked. "These guys went out and played great."
It was the Broncos' fourth straight victory and completed what seemed an improbable playoff run just a month ago when they were just 6-5. Denver (10-5) will make its first playoff appearance since 2000 and just its second since John Elway retired following the 1998 season.
For the Colts (11-4), it was a gut-wrenching loss. They could have wrapped up the AFC South title at home and put themselves in position for a first-round bye.
Indianapolis still can win the division next week, with a win at Houston or a Tennessee loss, but will have to play in the first round because New England (13-2) will have a better overall record and Kansas City (12-3) is guaranteed a better conference record.
If Sunday's game was any indication, the Colts could be in for another long day.
"We have to look at that because it looks like there's a good chance we could play these guys down the road," Colts coach Tony Dungy said. "We're going to have to see how we can play them the next time."
Denver ran nearly twice as many plays as the Colts, 71-37, produced 227 yards on the ground and held the ball for 44:58 -- even without Portis, the NFL's second-leading rusher with 1,591 yards. Portis was inactive after spraining his right knee and ankle last week against Cleveland.
But he was a part of the action. Wearing orange shoes, orange and white gloves and a baseball cap, Portis constantly prodded his teammates.
Anderson, the 2000 offensive rookie of the year, was the Broncos' power runner, Griffin the speedster and Plummer the trickster as he scrambled effectively and gained yardage of quarterback draws.
"We were just going to try to change it up," coach Mike Shanahan said. "The second half, we had the lead, so we tried to control the clock some."
The Colts had no answers.
Griffin averaged nearly five yards on his 28 carries, Anderson continually ran through tackles and the Colts' defense couldn't get off the field.
"We knew they were going to come in here and try to run the ball, and we were trying to stop them," linebacker Gary Brackett said. "They were the better team."
Indianapolis' offense also struggled.
It never had a sustained drive in the second half and spent most of the night watching.
While Peyton Manning became the first NFL quarterback to pass for 4,000 yards in five straight seasons, Marvin Harrison became the league's 21st player to top 10,000 yards receiving and kicker Mike Vanderjagt moved within one kick of tying Gary Anderson's record for most consecutive field goals, it was still one of the Colts' poorest performances of the season.
Manning completed just 12 of 23 passes for 146 yards and Harrison had six catches for 85 yards. Edgerrin James carried 10 times for 42 yards.
The results showed.
After Brackett picked off Plummer's first pass of the game and ran it back 31 yards for a touchdown, it was all Broncos.
Plummer hooked up with Ashley Lelie for a 60-yard completion on the next series.
"We wanted to challenge them early," Shanahan said. "It was a big-time throw and a big-time catch."
Five plays later, Anderson plowed in from the 2 to tie it. Lelie had five catches for 115 yards, while Plummer completed 14 of 17 for 238 yards.
The Broncos took the lead on a nifty 6-yard run by Plummer, who dived across the goal line to make it 14-7.
After Indianapolis tied it on James' 16-yard run, Denver used nearly eight minutes before Plummer took it in from 1 for a 21-14 lead.
Plummer's 15-yard TD pass to Rod Smith made it 28-14 and Denver sealed the game with a 9:34 drive that ended with Jason Elam's 24-yard field goal.
"This is big," Griffin said. "Getting into the playoffs and helping the team get there especially. I had to be ready."
- Tight end Shannon Sharpe caught two passes to move past Henry Ellard and into ninth on the career receptions list. Sharpe has 815 catches.
- The Colts moved within three points of breaking their single-season scoring record. They have 427 points this year. They scored 429 in 2000.
- Vanderjagt broke his own single-season scoring record with an extra point in the second quarter. He has 149 points this year.
- Denver blocked its first punt since Oct. 20, 2002.

In the five years since draftsman Scott Hawley, 29, moved from England to Perth his weekly rent has almost doubled.
In 2007, he paid $230 a week in Carramar in Perth's northern suburbs. In 2012 he is paying $420 a week in nearby Sinagra.
Tired of wasting money, Mr Hawley and his partner Alicia Bjorke-Nielsen weighed the options of renting versus buying and entered the property market.
"Renting now outweighs the cost of a mortgage," Mr Hawley said.
The pair bought a 504sqm block at Yanchep Golf Estate for $200,000 and hope to start building in the new year.
According to developer Peet, 300,000 is a magic number for Perth homebuyers when deciding whether to rent or buy.
Using Real Estate Institute of WA data and online calculators on the Federal Government's MoneySmart website ( www.moneysmart.gov.au ) at a home loan rate of 6 per cent, mortgage repayments on a $300,000 home can be $35 a week less than Perth's median house rent of $450 a week.
"A low interest rate environment and competitive pricing have led to improved housing affordability," Peet managing director and chief executive Brendan Gore said.
"At the same time, rental costs are high, largely because WA's economic strength is luring more and more people to our city."
Propell National Valuers WA State manager Travis Coleman said the gap between buying and renting had declined substantially over the past year.
"If you are in secure employment and have sufficient savings then it can now be an attractive option to buy a home," he said.
REIWA president David Airey said buying versus renting was about personal circumstances, budget and lifestyle.
However, it was a great time to buy

German Town: The Lost Story Of Seaford Town Jamaica
German Town: The Lost Story Of Seaford Town Jamaica
"German Town: The Lost Story Of Seaford Town Jamaica" is a documentary that explores the history of German heritage within Westmoreland Jamaica.
Deep within the isolated undeveloped mountains of Westmoreland lies a village with a history and people unique to Jamaica. It is said that the inhabitants of this village are descendants of German indentured servants who were used to work the Jamaican plantations after the emancipation period to substitute the slave labor that drove the islands economy.
Others think they came under different circumstances as runaway prisoners, former military battered after the Napoleonic wars seeking a better life to escape the poverty and hardships in their home lands. This documentary project explores the history and contemporary life of Jamaicans of German heritage.

1688 Germantown Quaker Petition Against Slavery
GERMANTOWN, where the first protest against slavery was written in the new world, is a historic neighborhood in Northwest Philadelphia, PA. It was founded by German Quaker and Mennonite families from Krefeld, a city in North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany.
In 1688, the PETITION AGAINST SLAVERY was drafted by Francis Daniel Pastorius and signed by him and three other Quakers living in Germantown. The petition, based upon the bible's golden rule, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," urged for the abolishment of slavery. It was also one of the first written public declarations of universal human rights. It argued that every human, regardless of belief, color, or ethnicity, had rights that should not be violated.
Remembrance of the Germantown Protest came to life again when celebrated American poet John Greenleaf Whittier in 1872 made Pastorius the hero of his narrative poem, "The Pennsylvania Pilgrim." A Quaker-born abolitionist, Whittier directly addressed the meaning of Pastorius's long forgotten legacy, ending his poem with the following words:
For, ere Pastorius left the sun and air,
God sent the answer to his life-long prayer;
The child [John Woolman] was born beside the Delaware,
Who, in the power a holy purpose lends,
Guided his people unto nobler ends,
And left them worthier of the name of Friends.
And to! the fulness of the time has come,
And over all the exile's Western home,
From sea to sea the flowers of freedom bloom!
And joy-bells ring, and silver trumpets blow;
But not for thee, Pastorius! Even so
The world forgets, but the wise angels know.
Black History Month 2016: Three-star General, Lt. General Nadja West
Lt. Gen. Nadja West has been appointed as the Army's 44th Surgeon General. With this appointment comes a promotion to lieutenant general, which makes West the Army's first black female 3-star general as well as the highest ranking female of any race to graduate from West Point.
West started as a child in Germany five decades ago. She came into the world a mischlingskinder or "brown baby"—one of many children borne of liaisons between African American servicemen and German women. Orphaned as a baby, she was adopted at nine months by Oscar and Mabel Grammer. Oscar Grammer worked as a chief warrant officer in the U.S. Army. Mabel Grammer was a civil rights activist and journalist who, at one point, wrote for the Afro American Newspapers. Together the couple adopted 12 children; West was the youngest.
On Tuesday, February 9 (2016), Lt. Gen Nadja West will be honored in an official ceremony. The promotion and ceremony follows the 54-year-old's confirmation by the Senate as the new Army Surgeon General and Commanding General, U.S. Army Medical Command (MEDCOM) as of December. As such, West will be assisting and advising the Secretary of the Army and Army Chief of Staff in relation to all health care matters in the Army, in addition to overseeing development, organization, policy direction, and other matters relative to the Army-wide health care systems.
"I was once an orphan with an uncertain future," said West of the promotion and the new responsibilities facing her in the future. "And I am incredibly honored and humbled to lead such a distinguished team of dedicated professionals who are entrusted with the care of our nation's sons and daughters, veterans and family members. While our Army and our nation face tough challenges in the future, I am confident that collectively we have the right skills, commitment, and talent to meet those challenges with mission success," she added.
The Washington D.C. area-native holds a Bachelor of Science in Engineering from the United States Military Academy at West Point and a Doctorate of Medicine from George Washington University School of Medicine. She has held previous assignments as Commanding General, Europe Regional Medical Command; Commander of Womack Army Medical Center, Fort Bragg, N.C.; and Division Surgeon, 1st Armored Division, Army Europe and Seventh Army, Germany.

BGCS Supports 2015 Adoptee Citizenship Act (S.2275)
BGCS fully supports the 2015 Adoptee Citizenship Act (S.2275). This Act is a critically needed piece of legislation pertaining to the lives of thousands of adults who were brought to the US for adoption as children, were never fully naturalized as citizens by their adoptive parents, and then fell through the cracks of the Child Citizenship Act of 2000. These adults now face risk of deportation and cannot fully participate as citizens in U.S. society: they cannot vote or obtain passports, and often face difficulties in opening bank accounts, securing financial aid, obtaining a driver's license, joining the military, obtaining marriage licenses, and finding jobs.
The 2015 Adoptee Citizenship Act closes the loophole created in the Child Citizenship Act of 2000, which failed to include those over age 18 at the time the Act came into effect when granting automatic citizenship. While the Act does not resolve all citizenship loopholes for internationally adopted adults, it is a major step forward in equality and justice for many.
BGCS suggests that individuals exercise caution and restraint in making decisions and taking any action in support or opposition to any legislation until they have fully educated themselves on the purpose and impact of it. We recommend that you read the actual bill, the current laws it will change, and the opinions of a variety of commentators, both for and against any legislation.
The Adoptee Citizenship Act can be found HERE. If you would like to contact your legislators to express your support for or opposition to this bill, you can look them up HERE.

Quercus at The Pepper Canister Church, Dublin
The Pepper Canister Church
25 January, 2014
St. Stephen's Church is familiarly known as the Pepper Canister Church owing to the form of its cupola. The church's handsome Georgian architecture blends with the affluent surroundings, but it was the pools of light and the dark recesses of its interior that made it the perfect venue for the chamber intimacy of the traditionaland not so traditionalsongs of love and pain that are Quercus' staple fare.
Quercus' set was drawn in large measure from its eponymous debut album released in spring 2013 but the chemistry between singer June Tabor, pianist Huw Warren and saxophonist Iain Ballamy was the fruit of a collaboration that stretches back to 2006. And like the oak tree that inspired the band's name, Quercus' 100-minute set demonstrated that its musical folk roots run deep while its branches embraceat least instrumentallythe improvisational and harmonic terrain of jazz.
Tabor's unaccompanied vocals on the intro to "Brigg Fair" lent a haunting air to this ode to love, while the warmth of Ballamy and Warren's extended coda contrasted with Tabor's wistful delivery. "Brigg Fair" was one of a collection of English folk songs sung by Joseph Taylor and recorded on a wax cylinder in 1908 by Australian composer/arranger Percy Grainger. It segued into another tune from those early field recordings, "Rufford Park Poachers," the tale of a battle in 1850 between local peasants and the landlord's gamekeepers. The skipping, buoyant interpretation mirrored the defiance of "the poachers bold."
Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Insensatez"stripped of the original's gentle bossa swaywas a stark lament for love ended, with Ballamy's tenor lines speaking of the jilted's inner unrest. Ballamy's cheery instrumental "Strawberries" lightened the mood before the trio's haunting delivering of "Near but Far Away"a Ballamy tune with lyrics by Queen Caroline Hughesan English gypsy singer-songwriter.
A beautiful version of Bob Dylan's "Don't Think Twice it's Alright" was played just a notch above balladic tempo and the first set ended with "This is Always," which Tabor introduced to laughter as "one of the classic songs about love really working; there aren't many." Tabor's tender vocal on this Harry Warren/Mark Gordon tune contrasted with Ballamy's billowy lyricism.
Quercus began the second set with one of the most moving and lyrical anti-war statements ever penned"The Lads in Their Hundreds." Originally a poem by A. E. Housman about the loss of young men's lives in the Boer War, the words were put to music by George Butterworth in 1911, who in a cruel twist of fate, was himself killed by a sniper at the Battle of the Somme in 1916. Ballamy's arrangement and Tabor's poignant delivery combined to evoke village idyll and its shattering. The elegiac strains of "Teares," Warren's lovely piano recital inspired by English Renaissance composer John Dowland provided a fittingly emotive coda.
The lightly stated sexual insinuation of 'Who Wants the Evening Rose?originally an Arab tale with Hebrew lyricsand the "The Shepherd and his Dog" brought romanticism and haunting pastoralism to the set. "As I Roved Out"inspired by Irish folk singer Andy Irvine's versionreturned Tabor to more familiar territory of love spurned; the trio's heartfelt interpretation was captivating. The tempo went up several gears when Warren and Ballamy locked horns again on the pianist's instrumental "Pig"a flowing, cinematic piece based on a short story by Roald Dahl.
With the concert falling on the birthday of Scottish National Poet Robert Burns, the evening wouldn't have been complete without "Lassie Lie near Me"and the trio's rendition captured the tenderness inherent in Burn's lines from 1790. The gently melodic contours of "All I Ask of You"an affirmation of loveprompted Tabor to quip that she was in danger of losing her Triple A doom rating. It capped a fine concert and earned the musicians a standing ovation.
"We sing and play songs that tell stories," Tabor had told the audience earlier in the set. "It doesn't matter where these songs come from. They all tell stories, whether literally in words or through pictures in the music." Whatever the source, Quercus threaded the narratives together in a universal mosaic. Arabic and Scottish poetry were made to sing while Irish, English and Brazilian songs of love lost, unrequited and just occasionally reciprocated, were poetic. Tales spun of injustice, confessions of the heart and nostalgia for an idyllic past traversed time and borders.
It was a treat to see and hear the special chemistry at play between Tabor, Warren and Ballamy and to feel the deep-rooted empathy that translated into music that was sincere, touching and meaningful.

I went round the engine place yesterday to see how the balancing was going. Everything had been held up waiting for the clutch. When it arrived the owner was surprised to have a £300 bill, what with the list price being £120. Then he worked out that the £120 only covered the clutch plate, the cover and bits was another £170 odd, bringing the total including VAT to £300.
It's a Helix uprated clutch and the box says Autosport on it. Are these worth £300. I noticed that TAS sell Helix clutches in their motorsport catalogue.

SS Belgic (1873)
|Harland and Wolff, Belfast
|Yard number:
|14 January 1873
|29 March 1873
|In service:
|29 March 1873
|Wrecked on 26 February 1884
|General characteristics
|Class and type:
|Cargo ship
|370 feet (112.78 m)
|36 feet 4 inches (11.07 m)
|12 knots (22 km/h)
SS Belgic was a steamship of the White Star Line. She was launched on 14 January 1873 as hull number 81 at Harland and Wolff Shipyards, Belfast, and delivered to the owners on 29 March 1873.[1] She was one of two cargo ships initially built by Harland and Wolff for the Bibby Line, but bought on the stocks for use on the South American service, the other ship being Belgic's sister, SS Gaelic.[2]
She sailed from Liverpool on her maiden voyage to Valparaíso on 16 April 1873, but White Star made the decision later that year to withdraw the steamship service to South America. Belgic made White Star's last steamship voyage to South America in December, though the company's sailing ships continued to operate the route.[2] Belgic was transferred to the North American service in 1874, making voyages between London and New York. On 20 July 1874 she encountered the disabled Spanish steamer Tornas and towed her into New York. Belgic was briefly transferred to the Liverpool - New York routine, but was withdrawn from service in 1875 and chartered with Gaelic to the Occidental and Oriental Steamship Company on 29 May, operating out of San Francisco.[2]
Belgic operated these routes until her sale in 1883 to Cia de Nav. 'La Flecha', and her name was changed to Goefredo.[3] Her career in this new incarnation was short and was marked with two accidents, the first occurred on 27 January 1884 when she ran aground off Santiago de Cuba. She was sent to undergo repairs at Liverpool, but while leaving the port on 26 February 1884 bound for Havana, she ran onto Burbo Bank at the mouth of the River Mersey and was wrecked.[2]

Hewlett - Packard Company Still Climbing A Slippery Rope! 1 comment
Hewlett - Packard Company Still Climbing a Slippery Rope!
Hewlett - Packard (NYSE:HPQ) continues to be one of the lagging an unimpressive Ex-Dow 30 - Industrials composite Companies. There is a reason they dropped it, but that is the subject for one of my cynical articles. It is on a Strong Hold, but my Indicators are breaking down. The coming months will be slippery.
You may want to review my previous articles on HPQ (just click) will provide you with the exact history of my Forecasting / Formal Client Recommendations and much more.
Performance for Hewlett - Packard can be found in my table below and is about 91% per annum for my holding period. (not including dividends).
I have completed my weekly study of all my High Profile Technology / Computer Hardware Companies. I suggest that there is little support for notably higher prices in the making. This is a study that is a pleasure for me to do because I have spent time and experience in the study of Growth and Income and Income Companies like HPQ. Each time it offers support for my on going analytics, and I smile.
My objective is to identify changing trends for my forecasting analytics. Simple stated, I want to have current notes to quickly refer to on the anticipated direction of this sector and industry group.
A Special Note for Seniors & Retired Investors - Dividend Yield: 2.10%
This week's commentary on Hewlett - Packard covers all of my indicators, both fundamentally for valuations and technically for momentum. Despite its relatively low dividend it can be a very safe and productive company for Income Investors. There is always much to cover to provide my best possible forecast and opinion.
Forecast & Opinion from my Study / Analytics:
Hewlett - Packard Company and other Computer Hardware Companies are tracking the marketplace well. The industry groups is not holding up well at this time.
Forecast w/ Performance:
Note: The below Table is for your review, questions and perhaps thoughts. If you would like to "Invest Wisely" in my "Growth & Income Asset Allocation Model," please email me to open a dialog on how I go about providing superior performance with a very low threshold of risk.
My current forecast is not as bright as you may think! (I will be more specific upon your email request).
If you own or are considering owning computer hardware companies, the securities are becoming a mixed bag and becoming increasingly more negative. Hewlett - Packard is currently relatively strong technically, but I have reservations about my fundamental valuation; however, it is on my Initial Bearish Forecast - "Warning."
My current opinion is to hold in anticipation of taking profits. This may be at even higher prices, but there will be an end and time to sell, but that is not currently in my forecast. That is a balancing of my below three (weighted) pillars of research.
Fundamentally - ( weighting - - 40% ): My Analytics for my fundamental valuation play a vital role in profitable managing money. Earnings continue to be only moderate.
Technically - ( weighting - - 35%): Within this outstanding company, my indicators remain strong. It is only slightly off its highs of $28, is selling for $27.
Consensus Opinion - ( weighting - - 25% ): My third pillar of research is one that is always distorted to the positive by most all financial analysts. That's because they are afraid of being bearish. I am not! My articles on "reality" are supportive of the below 20 year Chart.
I will personally and promptly reply to any serious investor's inquiry as to my very cautious position for HPQ !
A Twenty Year Perspective of Hewlett - Packard Company
Hewlett - Packard has taken some big hits over the years!

"Selectivity" is what I preach (along with discipline and patience) and is what separates the average investor and mutual funds from the profits that come with long-hours / hard work and "selectivity."
Here are a number of the Component Companies / Peers in the Computer Hardware Industry Group that I focus on rather frequently if you wish to follow me: (HPQ), (NASDAQ:AAPL), (EMC), (NYSE:DDD), (NASDAQ:DELL), (NASDAQ:NTAP), (NASDAQ:STX), (NYSE:WDC), (NYSE:FIO), (NASDAQ:RSYS), (NYSE:PAY), (NYSE:NCR), QTM).

HPQ's comeback, and I believe it will, will take 5-7 years. HPQ is where IBM was in the early 1990s or AAPL in 1996, left for dead. Once HPQ turns its financials around, they will start making smarter acquisitions. Once HPQ gets on its feet in a few years, they will get rid of the PC division...

The Part-Time Poker Player
Like most poker players starting out, I also dreamed of making it big in the Texas Hold'em poker tournament world and quitting my day job. However, after a sour dose of reality in the form of inconsistent results and a severely depleted bank account, I decided to sit back and re-think my approach. This book details how I devised a statistical system of bankroll management that would keep me profitable in the long run, how I went about upgrading my actual game-play skills, how I analyzed my performances at the table, and finally, how I adopted a psychological system of thinking about this little career of mine from my day trading experience... all without having to quit my day job!
Read alsoThe Last Judgment
As a happily married husband and proud father of a nine–year–old son, the last thing attorney Will Chambers wants on his hands is a religious apocalypse. Will defends a Christian convert from Islam against charges of causing a religious riot. When the attorney next hears from his client, Gilead Amahn, the self–styled prophet is…
The book is divided into four parts. Each part deals with a specific phase of my journey:
* PART 1 - MENTALITY AND OBJECTIVES, deals with my beginnings. Most novice, intermediate, and even some advanced poker players might find a lot of parallels with my journey.
* PART 2 - THE PLAN: [Contains the framework for a statistical approach to bankroll management in tournament play, online or at live tables]
I drew on my derivatives trading experience to draw up a logical statistical model as to how I would approach the game in the long term.
* PART 3 - EXECUTION AND GAME-PLAY: [Contains actual sit-n-go tournament performance data as per the theory laid out in Part 2]
My assumptions were clear and my expectations realistic. After a while I realized that my actual decision-making at the table needed to improve. This required poker theory education from external sources and assigning some structure to my thought process at the table - topics which I have not covered in great detail because it would be overkill, as there is so much related information out there in the poker print-media. I have referenced some great sources of information as relates to each category, however. Once I began to see some profits over a string of games there was no looking back, but the journey was still very rocky.
* PART 4 - PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS AND MENTAL ASSESSMENT: [Contains an adapted model of psychological assessment of a typical poker career.]
Finally, I realized that a key part of improving my game-play and identifying my strengths and weaknesses was going to come from tracking how I played. I began tracking various types of data during and after a game. After a while, I adopted and modified a psychological system of assessing where I was in the poker career from my derivatives trading regimen.
It is my hope that this book will be able to help the budding poker tournament/sit-n-go enthusiast by serving as a guide to effective bankroll management and a disciplined approach to long term tournament play, be it a part-time or full-time pursuit.
This book is NOT for people who are looking for a "get rich quick scheme" or some sort of a "killer strategy" that will guarantee a win in every tournament. For more details, refer to the "Preface" by downloading a free sample first.

Wednesday's Market Outlook 04/21/2010 0 commentsApr 21, 2010 8:56 AM
Here's our thoughts for this morning's open.
Bottom Line: AAPL will add to an already bloated market.
The less than stellar reaction by the Dow and SPX futures to the AAPL news this morning says to us some broader based profit taking is close at hand. We are and aren't surprised, if you know what we mean. We still feel the tape's rally will end on a whimper not a bang. So a move lower will sustain most likely after the headline risk is out of the way.
For now, we are focused on a few things worth highlighting. The overbought readings on the NDX (98% of the components are again above the 200-day MA) have spiked up once more. At the same time the VIX dropped, quickly I might add. Sometimes how fast these levels change is more important than the actual levels they reach. In this case, the sense of urgency to get back in so soon after the GS news is what stands out.
This is a key concern of ours. Yes , one can take this as a bullish sign since the market is taking bad news well. However, we see it as the dip buyer doing his part in this topping process.
We are watching commodities quite closely for tells in the equity market. Our conviction is high that Crude is close to an important peak and that the Dollar and Bonds are close to making a bullish run. Under this scenario, the SPX should fall. We see the average "Joe" looking to buy breakouts, expecting major extensions. We see it as impending "hook" sequences, whereby the tape fades after sucking in the "last guy".
We are taking this cautious stance since much of our model work suggests it's the right way to view the current environment. Our approach in here is still balanced (both longs and shorts) until we see more confirmation of pattern breakdowns. This will keep us on the right track and should prevent us from making any major mistakes.
Off the AAPL news, we see a few tech names that are setting up as good long trades. EMC, VMW and NTGR are a few to mention and we will alert you if we pull the trigger on these.

Tom Maxo & Sebastian Gould - BareAdventures
Models: Tom Maxo and Sebastian Gould
Studio: Bare Adventures
Tom and Sebastian, two very nice boy next door council estate types, but very posh looking as well, kick off the first scene as they kick a football about, until they get to some waste ground that is, then of course it's time to play with balls that are more for the grown ups so to speak. Both lads are slim and smooth; facially they look very sexy and cute. They both behave like passion pullers towards each other. They are soon stripped bare in the great outdoors, sucking on each others quite long, straight uncut cocks. It's not long before the two lads get frisky enough to bareback fuck and Sebastian gets the arse pounding he deserves, well and truly. Sebastian, who gets fucked, makes dam sure that he spunks his juices, all over his fuck buddies face, making him suck on his cum coated cock, all in return for allowing his fuck buddy, to plough his sexy peach pits. Sebastian Gould is one hot piece of eye candy in this scene.

"Totally brilliant!"
Mrs Jones
10 September 2015
I'm adding my review as it was all the positive reviews on here which led me to buy this. Compared to the average handheld garlic press this is utter brilliance. It's a pleasure instead of a chore to use and I love the way all the bits come apart for cleaning. If you are looking for a change from your standard garlic press then this is it.

Swimming Support Thread
this is an interesting article... and runs contrary to what many on here believe (including me).
X Tri swim training article
I don't think the guy is saying if your technique is poor don't improve it. To me he is saying working only on your technique (especially on low mileage) isn't going to make you a quicker swimmer. From reading this thread it is clear that you don't only work on technique but do lots of interval stuff as well.
I don't do much drill work but do sessions where I focus my attention on improving certain aspects of my stroke and I tend to do interval sessions as well. I have improved by 16 minutes on my 1500 metres time in under 2 years but don't see that it proves much.
Stick with what you enjoy and what works for you, but don't be blinkered to thinking there is one right way.
UW - I don't see that the article is actually saying anything different than you! It would seem good advice to say if you have limited time to swim (3 x 2000 metres is limited compared to the guys you list) then don't use it all doing drills, rather make sure you are also working on speed. t some point if you want to swim quciker you are going to have practice swimming quicker and not just work on your technique (I know you do). Maybe I misunderstood the article but to me it doesn't say don't work on your technique (do drills) but don't use all your limited time on this.
To me a good balance approach is the one WildWill mentioned on the last page.
WildWills approach:
Drill Session - Warm up then drillsInterval Session - shorter intervalslong session - Longer intervals OR non stop swim
30 lengths of front crawl tonight. It began as it always does with a heart attack impression after every two lengths, heart rate going through the roof, then something interesting happened at length 18 (pay attention OO) I reached equilibrium. My input was matching my output and I was slower than when I started, but I was not out of breath (well not too much) and was able to stand for about 10 seconds or so at each end (not the deep end, as this would mean drowning ) and then go straight into another length. I stopped at 30 lengths because I ran out of time. Never thought I'd be posting that!
We had a wally in the lane tonight, he started off on one side of the lane (bearing in mind you can just about fit three people across the lane) and as he went along he moved further and further over to the other side, the other side that people were swimming up. Nobody was brave enough to tell him what he was doing - he genuinely had no idea. Bless...
today will be - recovery swim, after my long bike ride. Took a day's leave today to get in a nice long ride.
We have our monthly tri club meeting tonight, there's a French cyclist coming to talk to us about TdF, should be interesting.
Nice, Will.
Off now myself for an easy little swim, cycled 90km today followed by a 5km run, that's enough training for a Thursday!
ta PSC. Keep up the good blogging... a good motivator for you I'm reckoning.
Would anyone have the google map where all the open water locations are posted. I seem to recall having it bookmarked but cannot find it.

Iowa House district 39, covering much of northwest Polk County, is represented by the youngest current member of the state legislature. Republican Jake Highfill pulled off a shocking upset in his 2012 primary against then House Majority Whip Erik Helland. He was the only successful one of a dozen primary challengers to sitting Iowa House Republicans that year. Highfill benefited from some blunders by Helland and some help from fellow supporters of Ron Paul's presidential bid as well as former State Representative Walt Tomenga, whom Helland had beaten in the 2008 GOP primary. Highfill beat Democrat Kelsey Clark in the 2012 general election and Tom Leffler in 2014, but underperformed the top of his party's ticket both years.
A new Democratic challenger to Highfill emerged last week. Maridith Morris is a nurse at Mercy Medical Center in Des Moines. She is also a personal friend (not through Democratic Party politics), and I can vouch for her commitment to helping others, in volunteer capacities as well as through her vocation.
I enclose below a district map and background on Highfill and Morris. House district 39 leans Republican, with 5,863 active registered Democrats, 9,291 Republicans, and 8,206 no-party voters according to the latest figures from the Iowa Secretary of State's office. (Those numbers do not include voters who changed party affiliation on February 1 to participate in the Iowa caucuses.) Mitt Romney outpolled President Barack Obama among voters in this district by 55.76 percent to 43.02 percent in 2012, and Joni Ernst had nearly a 20-point margin over Bruce Braley here in the 2014 U.S. Senate race.
While the district is a long-shot for a Democrat, Highfill is weaker than the average GOP statehouse incumbent. He chairs the relatively insignificant International Relations Committee, which has met only once this session and does not appear to have any legislation pending. Quite a few House Republicans from the 2012 cohort and even a few colleagues serving their first terms have better committee assignments than Highfill.
Last year, when then House Speaker Kraig Paulsen needed to yank one opponent of raising the gasoline tax off the Ways and Means committee, he picked Highfill. This year, Highfill was assigned to the Appropriations, Education, State Government, Local Government, and Government Oversight committees as well as International Relations. He has not floor-managed any significant bills, to my knowledge.
In a sense, Highfill is fortunate to remain in the legislature. He drew two primary challengers in 2014, which allowed him to win the GOP nomination despite gaining less than 50 percent of the vote. I wouldn't be surprised to see a Republican with more stature run here this year, though at this writing I am not aware of any rival GOP candidate in House district 39.
Highfill's campaign raised $16,990 last year, about half from individuals and the rest from political action committees that give to numerous legislative incumbents. His campaign spent $12,670.17, mostly on a $10,000 contribution to the state party. He entered the election year with $13,283.48 cash on hand and $6,100 in outstanding loans—not a lot to fend off a primary challenge, if one materializes. Assuming Highfill wins the GOP nomination again, House leaders could chip in more funds if they felt he were in trouble during the general election campaign.
Any comments related to the House district 39 race or either candidate are welcome in this thread. I found it strange that a 2012 Ron Paul supporter Highfill endorsed New Jersey Governor Chris Christie before this year's Iowa caucuses. But some big movers and shakers in Iowa Republican politics were supporting Christie, including Gary Kirke, one of Highfill's larger individual donors.Continue Reading...

Project 7: BirthDeathInfinity
Begelman writes very interesting and tight tunes with visceral guitar punch. As well is a jazzy fusion rock sensitivity that dances circles all around today's progressive wannabes. He displays a firm foundational background in jazz and rock whether it be Jeff Beck, Ronnie Montrose, The Mahavishnu Orchestra, Tommy Bolin, Pete Carr, The Allman Brothers, or vintage Rush. These eight songs ranging from 3:46 to 11:11 will serve to redefine what solid, melodic instrumental guitar is all about. No shred, neo-classical boredom here folks just mean and tasty fusion rock all the way.
I have kept this release and his earlier 1992 Lost For Words spinning for weeks in the car and the PC at work. It is all good. There is a definite retro-best-of-the-'70's rock feel to much of Begelman's songs but excellent music is ageless. I promise you this many out there will feel their soul say, "Ahhhh, yes . . ." once Begelman's vision is finally heard.
"Punch it, Dan!" You have got it right man, very, very cool guitar worlds you create. Keep it up!
