Ladies and Gentlemen, it's time to get your Math on!
This week on her website, one of our GeekMom favorites, Danica McKellar, announced that she's partnering with the Nerdist YouTube channel to make an as-yet-untitled math show! In her own words:
Hi everyone!
I'm making an awesome new little math show for the Nerdist Channel on YouTube, which I'm really excited about. It's going to be kooky and fun, and in case YOU want to be involved, here's how!
- Suggest mathy topics you'd like to see covered — tweet them to me at @danicamckellar or put them in the comment section [of my blog].
- Submit videos of YOU to email@example.com! We are looking for people who use math in their jobs — anything from a chef who does fraction conversions in her head to an aeronautical engineer. Submit a short video of yourself describing how you use math in your job and why you love what you do. But even if you don't use math in your job, you can still play! Do you have an interesting perspective on math you'd like to share? What's your favorite or least favorite part about math?
Email your stuff to firstname.lastname@example.com by Monday March 11th — and don't forget to include your name and contact info, if you want to be considered. We can accept videos by Vimeo, Dropbox or even YouTube.
Happy video-ing!
So, buff up your quadratic equations, shine your right isosceles triangles, and serve up the pi. It's time to show the world that math is fun!
PS: Regarding that pi joke — I'm sorry, I'll show myself out.

No current Talk conversations about this book.
This book felt like a bridge book that a lot of second books in a trilogy are, that connects the first book and third book but not much happens. I'm not saying that nothing happens in this book; a lot does, including a certain death which broke my heart (I didn't know I even liked that character until he died and I almost actually cried...) but none of my questions from the previous book was answered. how can Akiva use magic? why are Akiva and Karou drawn to each other the way they are? is there some magical connection between them or is it love? Why was razgat (is this how it's spelled?) cast down? What does Akiva's tribe have to do with the whole thing? Guess all of them will be answered in the next and the last book! not very satisfied with this book but still excited to start reading the Dreams of Gods and Monsters.
Review coming soon... excellent book
I finished this book over a week ago but I had no clarity around how to comment on it, on my experience of reading it. Five stars, hands down, because Laini Taylor is a terrific writer, lyrical, potent and rich, so rich!
But . . .
I didn't 'enjoy' being in this book and on reflection I'm pretty sure I wasn't meant to. It's dark in the level of self-loathing and despair. It seems that Karou, Hope, is a word deleted. There's no place for it in this world. Heart wrenching. Utterly. And cruel too.
It wasn't until I went back a reread 'Daughter' that I could feel connected to the characters again, and I realized that Taylor had warned us, right on page one. Once upon a time, an angel and a devil fell in love. It didn't end well . . . We knew what we were getting into.
The story is about change and survival, and what happens to the heart when we lose too much. It's painfully sad, and hopeless, but after some time and distance from the book, I find a sense of hope rising again and this is the brilliance of the story. It reminds us of our ability to believe in the potential, at least, for something better, even when all signs point in another direction.
I look forward to where book #3 will takes us. What a journey.
I liked this book almost as much as the first. It doesn't suffer from 2nd book syndrome, which is a feat! The storyline is interesting and important to the trilogy. The characters grow and get better to read about. The pace is a little slow at first, but it picks up quickly. I'm super excited to read the next one!!
HOLY SMOKES, THIS BOOK BLEW ME AWAY. Thar be Daughter of Smoke and Bone spoilers ahead.
I liked but did not love Daughter of Smoke and Bone. The heroine and the worldbuilding were intriguing, but the story got derailed by an oh-so-tortured love interest, and then it became a series of flashbacks, and right when the book got back on track, it ended on a cliffhanger! But if I think of that entire book as a first act, setting up the characters and the world they live in, I am less irritated, because OH MY GOD THIS BOOK WAS AMAZING AND TOTALLY WORTH IT.
Karou is barely recognizable as the vibrant, carefree girl of that first book. She finally knows who she is, but she has lost her family, her heart has been shattered, and she is shunned by her fellow chimaera. Full of anger, guilt and shame, Karou becomes the new Resurrectionist, creating truly monstrous bodies for the chimaera to use in their war against the brutal seraphim. Meanwhile, Akiva has been shaken to his core, not just by his love of Karou, but also by his role in the massacre of her people.
Gone are the innocence and the romance of the story. Instead there is war: the violence, the horror, the pain, the weariness. The futility of vengeance is shown as blood is repaid with blood over and over and over again. Leaders on both sides are shown to have their own personal agendas, and allies are not always friends. (Remember who the real enemy is, Katniss - er, I mean Karou.) But Karou and Akiva's dream of peace stubbornly refuses to die.
Four and a half stars.

Florida panther killed by another panther near Immokalee
IMMOKALEE — Wildlife officials say the remains of a Florida Panther have been recovered near Immokalee. The Fort Myers News-Press (http://newspr.es/YEdGTb) reports the panther's body was found Saturday by a landowner in community just east of Immokalee. Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officials say the panther was an uncollared 2- to 4-year-old male. They say puncture wounds in the panther's skull indicate he was killed by another panther. The carcass will go to the agency's research laboratory in Gainesville for a necropsy. Officials say this is the third panther death in Florida this year. The other two were killed by vehicles.The agency says a record 26 of the endangered cats died in 2012 — with 17 killed by vehicles.

Bengals wide receiver Ochocinco to try out for MLS team
By Simon Evans
MIAMI (Reuters) - Chad Ochocinco, one of the NFL's top wide-receivers, will have a trial with Major League Soccer's Sporting Kansas City next week, the team said on Wednesday.
Six-time Pro Bowl selection Ochocinco, who plays for the Cincinnati Bengals, responded to news of the NFL's lockout of players on Saturday by suggesting on twitter he would like to switch sports and play for Sporting.
The team have responded by inviting him for a four-day trial starting on Tuesday.
"Due to the NFL lockout I am excited to be able to follow my childhood dream of playing for a Major League Soccer team," the 33-year-old said in a statement released by Sporting KC.
Ochocinco has previously posted pictures of himself with top soccer players such as Brazilians Ronaldinho and Kaka on the internet, visited Real Madrid and regularly comments on soccer games.
Sporting coach Peter Vermes said he was interested to see how Ochocinco would turn his athleticism into ability on the soccer field.
"We are always searching for players who can help our team and bringing in new talent. We know that Chad is an exceptional athlete and loves the sport of soccer and he did play a lot when he was younger.
"We are excited to see how his skills will translate once he arrives next week and begins training with our team," he said. Continued...

Framing an addition
Hey all, i am putting an addition on the top of another wide open room, problem i face is that, i only want to do the shell this spring and take my time (money issues) completling the rest... I will have OW Floor joist spanning 23 feet, 14" depth 16" OC.. do not want to remove drywall below.. All of my HVAC and electrical will be ran through the joist, as we will also have cathedral ceilings... My question is, when i frame this bad boy up, do i need to deck the floor before i put my walls up? I really can't, i don't have the space to do all of the HVAC and electrical work with the current roof still on, and i won't have the time (weather) to do it with the roof off and new walls and roof not up... Every time i have framed something, joist, decking, walls.. never done it without decking the floor first... is this OK structurally (I'm 90% sure it is) but is it OK by code (generally) in most places (South Jersey)... Also, with open web joist, do i need to have cladding on the ends or can i sheath right over them?
Thank you in advance!
You need to being doing a whole lot more research on that plan.
Not much of it is going to work out.
Yes there needs to be LVL rim joist made just for banding the engineered floor joist. Go on the wed side of the company making the joist for install info.
Decking needs to be glued and nailed in place with 8D ring shank nails before any walls go up.
Save up the money and do it right. That whole thing need to be at least dried in including shingles and siding,
thanks Joe, yea i already had the joist engineered. I am lucky enough to have a truss company within walking distance.. They gave me the plans for the trusses and joist.. i didn't see anything on there about the rim joist.. i figured i would stop over there and ask for install info before i give them okay to build. Even with any amount of money i would still need to run all of my electrical and HVAC after i install joist, but before i put decking down... this could take days.. with the whole house being exposed to the elements.. This is why i posed that question.. it would be a lot easier to get the shell up, windows, tyvek, sided and shingled.. then go in, run my electrical and HVAC, then put my subfloor down.. (this was my plan)
Electrical and HVAC is always done after the buildings dried in.
You are getting permits for all this right?
Subflooring is always done before walls go up, no exceptions.
Under lament can go in after if needed.
There is no way to get around having to remove the insulation and drywall in the ceiling below.
Those engineered joist need to be sitting on top of the old top plates not the old ceiling joist.
A job like this needs to be done by a full crew of people that know what there doing to closed it in ASAP.
Thanks again joe, you are right.. i have 3 skilled and 2 laborers coming in to knock the framing out.. NO, i would not be sitting on top of the ceiling joist.. they are 24" OC we mapped it out, i would need to remove a couple, that would interfere with 16" oc.. it doesn't matter regardless, i would just seal her up and remove what i need to remove from below to access what i need to access.. It really isn't that big of a deal to do that, was just trying to see if that could be avoided... obviously your answer is it can't be done.. is there a structural reason behind this? i can't see adding 3/4 under the framing adding much support or tying much of it together.. just wondering why its done that way..
Thanks again for your quick replies, its much appreciated!
ahhh that rim joist adds support to the floor... if you don't run it through the wall you have no support for the end of the subfloor in between joist... i got it... very dumb that i didn't think of that...
yes I'm getting permits.. Btw... I'm not staring for another couple months.. I'm really still planning it all out, and getting my drawings together to get the permits... then decide on when to start... I'm sure i will have a lumber yard for a front yard for a couple weeks, until i see a full week without rain... lol
Do not rush doing this, have plenty of tarps on hand to keep the lumber dry and some big enough to cover the whole addition if needed, weather man lie :).
Use Advantech for the subflooring.
Bet you find out leaving those old ceiling joist is a mistake.
There just going to be in the way, and may though off your subfloor spacing.
WELLL... lol... in my original plan, they were going to be cut back of top plate during demo of old roof, then when i got the shell up (with no floor) was going to use a multi tool to cut screws and pull them out (after i screwed the old drywall underneath to new joist)... they will be in the way... you're right, best way is the right way, pull the ceiling out and go from there.. i didn't want to displace the family during this.. only for a week to break through and install the steps... but looks like a month or so at the in laws it is!
Do you know what it would cost (estimate) to get a crew to just do the framing in a day? just wondering.. all labor, i would supply all the materials..
Thanks again!
i also wanted to save the insulation (loose) by keeping the drywall up, as a little sound barrier... again.. I'm causing more work for myself then i would if i just tore it all out... do i even need to insulate that area? or do you think 14" is enough space to dampen sounds... its a master bedroom... (kids on the other side of the house, lol) kitchen, dining room underneath..

That is a screen by screen view of a SBS 2003 sp1 box with IE 7 installed prior to the installation of R2. As you can see the install "appears" to fail, but really it doesn't. All that happens is that the R2 install can't patch IE 6 because IE 6 isn't on the system. Now then one can argue that IE 7 isn't needed (not yet anyway) on a server that shouldn't be surfing in the first place.. but the point is that regardless.. that an R2 install WILL complete successfully when IE 7 is installed as this KB documents:
Error message when you install Windows Internet Explorer 7 before you install Windows Small Business Server 2003 R2:
So far the issues we've seen when R2 is having issues installing is not IE7 related … it's something deeper like messed up installer files, broadcom nics and other such weirdness….but merely installing IE 7 should not stop/break/cause failure of the R2 install process.
But this is a challenge to all those folks who say that IE 7 is blocking their R2 install…. Send me a screen shot of your server management console without the R2 installed and the log file at
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Integration\Windows Small Business Server 2003\Logs\R2_Setup.log
Test and confirm…because I'm not convinced that IE 7 is the cause of the failure of the install.
My ancestors come from Missouri the "Show me" state… you are just going to have to "show me" on this one, okay?

Why do I keep getting blackheads and how can I get rid of them?
Answers (13)
Blackheads are a type of acne. Normally, older skin cells work their way to the top surface of the skin and shed on a daily basis. In acne-prone skin, this process breaks down, and skin cells don't shed normally. (We still don't understand the exact reason for this.) Blackheads occur when dead skin, oil and bacteria clump in hair follicles (a.k.a. pores), rather than shedding normally. These clumps turn black as a result of oxidation after exposure to the air.
The best medications for treating blackheads are prescription retinoid creams like Retin-A. Over-the-counter medicine containing salicylic acid, retinol, and benzoyl peroxide, however, may be enough to treat mild blackheads/acne. There are a few tips for using these products: If you choose to use retinol, remember that you should apply it at night since sunlight may inactivate the product. And note that if you use a product containing benzoyl peroxide, it can bleach fabric. You should apply any product that you use to the entire affected area (don't just dab it on blackheads that you can see), in order to both treat obvious blackheads and those that are just starting but not yet visible.
If you choose to use pore strips, which attach to blackheads and may help remove them from the skin, know that they are not effective at preventing future blackheads from breaking out. Consult your doctor before using pore strips in combination with prescription creams, as they can cause skin irritation.
Be patient--it takes several months to see good results. Don't delay seeing a dermatologist, however, if you have acne that's leaving scars, as it could permanently damage your skin.
This is actually why I'm HUGE on toner, where most of the time you might hear that it's a waste of money. Check out why here :
But if you keep getting them, try a 30% Salicylic peel from someone who does them (like a med spa) or cosmetic surgeon. It does not hurt and has no down time. And microdermabrasion (or Vibarderm, which I prefer) might help.
And I agree with Daniella Ferri that toners are important. They act as a key to open the lock of the cell membrane, and allow skin care products to penetrate better.
If you want a good skin care routine for acne, Bare Skin has two (www.bareskincare.com), which is my company.
How I manage mine is I take baking soda and some water (that's it, nothing else) and I apply the mixture all over my face. Then I take a toothbrush and gently scrub my nose and chin for a few seconds. Leave it on for up to 5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. This process can be repeated up to 3x a week on every second day. In about 2 weeks you should notice that your blackheads are less significant

Known Trivia
- The installment which aired in 30 January 1977 in the USA was the most-watched TV show in US history (since surpassed by the M*A*S*H finale in 1983 and "Who Shot J.R.?" episode of Dallas) in 1980. In the US 36.38 million households or 51.1% watched it giving it a Neilsen share of 71%.
- This was originally to be a four hour presentation airing on two nights, this turned into a twelve hour presentation airing during six nights.
- The show was programmed by ABC to air on several consecutive nights in prime time. It was considered a revolutionary approach to programming a mini-series, since most minis were aired once or twice a week over several weeks' time. It was revealed years later that the reason the network did this was so that they get the show "out of the way" in a hurry because they felt, nobody would watch the story if it aired over a longer period of time.
- Originally broadcast on ABC as eight programs. Four 1-hour and four 2-hour episodes apiece, as follows: Episodes 1, 2, 6 and 8 were two hours apiece. Episodes 3, 4, 5 and 7 were one hour apiece. Presented on VHS, DVD, and re-broadcast as six two-hour episodes.
- The people playing Kizzy, George, and Tom Harvey were born within three years of each other. Leslie Uggams and Georg Stanford Brown who played Kizzy and Tom were both born in 1943 and Ben Vereen who played George was born in 1946. This means that "Tom" was actually three years older than his "father" and "Kizzy" was three years older than her "son."
- The author Alex Haley was sued successfully for plagiarizing by novelist Harold Courlander. The works he plagiarized led to the book that served as the basis for the mini-series Roots. Haley paid $650,000 in an out of court settlement.
- One ABC executive explained the blockbuster ratings by saying "One third of America was snowed in, one third of America is black and one third watches ABC anyway"
- Georg Stanford Brown (Tom Harvey) and Lynne Moody (Irene Harvey) are the only actors to reprise their roles in Roots: The Next Generations.
- LeVar Burton (Kunta Kinte) and Louis Gossett Jr. (Fiddler) would later reprise their roles in Roots: The Gift.
- The series takes place from 1750 to 1870.
Goofs: Anachronisms: In Episode 1, a crewman on the ship transporting Kunta Kinte to America in 1767 plays a concertina. The instrument was invented in 1829, and was first marketed with the familiar hexagonal body in 1843.
Plot: A dramatization of author Alex Haley's family line from ancestor Kunta Kinte's enslavement to his descendants' liberation. Full summary »
Story: A saga of African-American life, based on Alex Haley's family history. Kunta Kinte is abducted from his African village, sold into slavery, and taken to America. He makes several escape attempts until he is finally caught and maimed. He marries Bell, his plantation's cook, and they have a daughter, Kizzy, who is eventually sold away from them. Kizzy has a son by her new master, and the boy grows up to become Chicken George, a legendary cock fighter who leads his family into freedom. Throughout the series, the family observes notable events in U.S. history, such as the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, slave uprisings, and emancipation. Written byEric Sorensen <email@example.com>

There is nothing quite like Roots and i don't think anything will bedone like it again. I first saw this about 5 years ago and since theni've seen it all 3 more times. It is a phenomenal achievement!
Roots starts off around 1750 when an African baby is born called KuntaKinte and follows his life. He gets enslaved by slavers when he's 15and is taken to a white supremest America where he is sold at a slavemarket to a Virginian tobacco business man. From there we follow Kuntaall the way through to old age and beyond and after he dies we followhis daughter and when she dies as an old lady we follow her son and soon. Basically the main characters die off and then the newish minorcharacters become main characters as well as there are new characterswhich are brought in from time to time. All the while though the blackpeople are slaves and treated as 3rd class citizens. We see how theystruggle with their hard life and how some of them are happy to beslaves as they've never known anything else and how some dream offreedom. Over the years and generations we see good white people,indifferent white people and very bad white people. It passes quicklythrough the war of independence but focuses longer on the civil warmainly because this is the beginning of the end of black slavery inAmerica which leads to the KKK part of Roots.
After watching Roots it really does feel like you have watched 120years of a families generations. From the beginning where Kunta is bornall the way to the end where a very old Chicken George leads his familyto a new free life. It is quite mind boggling.
I could write a huge review about this mighty saga but i ain't got thetime and i doubt anyone would read it anyway. As a white guy i amashamed at how white people treated black people so badly even thoughto a lesser extent that still goes on in the world today.
The story is amazing, the acting is award winning and i have no quipswith Roots at all apart from one thing. Everyone ages through thisexcept the amazing ageless Mr Moore. Over a span of around 50 years hedoesn't age a day. When he is first introduced he looks about 50 and 50years later he still looks like 50. I think he must be a Highlander orsomething! LOL
Of course, Roots was made possible by the writer Alex Haley who was adescendant of Kunta Kinte which is explained at the very end. Irecommend Roots very highly. It's for people who enjoy history and anengrossing story. You will also get attached to the characters and feela sense of loss when one of them die. I've only covered the very basicsand left a ton of stuff out in this review. Just like Schindler's Listyou have to watch this because it is an important piece of film makingbased on a true story. One word….Brilliant! 10/10
I normally don't start out this way, but I feel it matters. I am aSouthern White, and I have not seen this movie up until the othernight.
I thought this mini-series was one of the top three or four I have everseen. Throughout the years since this came out, I never reallybothered, thinking it would be simply white bashing. It was not. I feltit might be in contradiction with the kind people and relatives I grewup knowing. It was not.
I feel that this mini-series realistically blends black history in withthe history we have been fed from the Northern side as well as theSouthern side.
Most southerners were not slave owners. They were represented. I thinkthis movie strove to show the kindness in people, as well as thedarkness. I look at the South with fondness, but I know that what thismovie portrayed was true – in spirit, if not fact.
Sometime after this originally came out there was some controversy overHaley faking some of this. I thought (at the time), A HA! It's bull!Again, remember that I had not watched it. Upon seeing it I realizedthat though some of this might be fiction, it certainly rang true.
What I didn't like about the movie: Watching Sandy Duncan and LeslieUggams play teenagers. The acting was okay. Duncan reminded me of thatspoiled brat in Little House on the Prairie. My guess is that Duncanwas cast so she would look like an adult child and not seem out ofplace compared to Uggams. It is perhaps that during the seventiesHollywood did not want to take such a chance on a youngerAfrican-American to play Kizzy. It was an important role, and oursociety had not allowed Blacks to come into their own. Hollywood seemsto want to force their views on society, yet they are often the last tocome into line.
John Amos, whom I really like, seemed to be good and bad for his role.Someone said he sounded like he was in "Good Times" at some points. Idon't feel that way. I do feel that his dialect seemed slightly out ofplace during some moments. He did not detract from the story, though.He carried on Burton's eternal fight for freedom with the samebullheadedness.
Ben Vereen: What can I say? When he started doing Variety Shows in theSeventies, I really admired him. He could play instruments, as well assing, dance, and act. He does not disappoint here. I was so sad when helost his role in Silk Stalkings due to an accident. Thankfully he hasrecovered over time.
Madge Sinclair: What an actress! and beautiful woman, to boot. I didn'tknow she had leukemia during the days I watched her on Trapper John.There were some episodes where she seemed older than her years, thoughalways beautiful. In Roots she manages to capture and portray an innerbeauty and let it shine through her bondage.
Most of the white actors were well cast, Duncan aside. I didn't realizehow busy Lloyd Bridges was doing so many mini-series. He makes you hatehim here, so he did his job.
Ed Asner had a very poignant remark about no one really being free. Itwas that he felt he was becoming a slave to his job. Please do notthink I am comparing the miseries of forced slavery to a large schemeof celestial bondage, but it was pointed out in this film, that at theend of the war, freedom simply meant going from slavery into some otherforced form of servitude. I'm retired, yet I often feel bound togovernment restrictions and the things I am forced to do routinely tosimply maintain my retirement. The African-Americans added to Asner'smoment by later saying that when someone died, the smile on his facemeant he was finally free.
When Roots came out I remember the cries of many saying, "We now haveour history!" Yes, and it was blended well into all of our histories,as I have mentioned. About five years ago, when my daughter married aman of color, he made her watch Roots. She asked me what I thought ofhim doing that. My response was that she needed to look at all thingsobjectively, and know that most of life is a shade of gray. I alsomentioned that had I been the same city, I would have liked to haveviewed it with them. Now I can at least share my thoughts and hear myson-in-law's thoughts as well.
My biggest complaint is that the DVD is already out of print. HUH? Oneof the greatest mini-series ever made and I have to pay scalpers' feesfor a used copy? (I borrowed my copy from the library) Please, someone!put this in a continual printing, and PLEASE, do not do what you didwith others (cutting whole sections out to save a buck).
This movie (along with North and South) should be required viewing forall people. For the African-Americans, this movie should be madeavailable forever, so that it does not simply fade into folk and familylore the way that Kunta-Kinte did – with only bits and piecesremaining.
Two of the most important American television programs are "The CivilWar" by Ken Burns (1989), and the epic narrative miniseries "Roots"(1977) based on the book "Roots: The Saga of an American Family" byAlex Haley. Despite the controversy surrounding the book, and the factsof Haley's ancestry (for example, the slave Toby aka "Kunte Kinte", maynever have fathered Kizzy and therefore may not be a direct ancestor ofHaley) the series is an important and ground-breaking work in itsstunning portrayal of slave life in America from the late 18th centuryto the mid-19th century.
For decades, the United States has been largely in denial of itstreatment of African-Americans both as slaves and later in post-CivilWar periods. The south of the 19th century had fabricated the realityof slave conditions and down-played the brutality inflicted on bothslaves and anti-slave sympathizers. Racial hatred and brutalitycontinued into the 20th century, largely fueled by white traditionsthat have (and continue to) concoct misrepresentations of historicalreality to younger generations. By the middle of the 20th century,nearly 100 years after the end of the American Civil War, PresidentJohnson signed Civil Rights legislation into law with the WhiteSouthern community kicking and screaming all the way. If legislationcouldn't change people's hearts and minds, what could?
Americans love movies, story-telling/narrative film depictions ofreality. There had never before been a nationally distributed filmproduction that honestly told the story of the African-American slaveexperience. Fourteen years after Johnson's legislation, "Roots" wasbroadcast on national television by the American Broadcasting Company(ABC). I regard those network executives that green-lighted thebroadcast in great esteem for their willingness to take a chance onthis most-important series. I doubt whether US commercial televisionwill ever produce and broadcast such a high-caliber and controversialprogram again in the near future. And to give credit to the Americanviewing public, "Roots" was a huge success.
From beginning to end, "Roots" is an absolute triumph of filmproduction, the best-ever miniseries offered by a corporate network.The acting and the script are top-notch. Almost every notableAfrican-American acting talent of the time was solicited to join thecast, from LeVar Burton and John Amos (Kunte Kinte, Toby) to Lou GossetJr (Fiddler) to Ben Vareen (Chicken George) to James Earl Jones (AlexHaley). Even OJ Simpson makes an appearance. A lot of notable whitetalent appears as well, such as Ed Asner and Sandy Duncan.
Slavery is a tragedy and "Roots" is a tragic story. "Roots" has itslight moments, its inspiring moments, although it is its heartbreakingmoments that stay with you: The moment the young African Kunte Kinte isshackled, sold as chattel and forced to board the slave ship bound forAmerica. The whipping of the young Kunte Kinte to "break" him intoslavery. The selling of Kizzy, Toby's daughter, to another slave masterbecause of her involvement with a scheme to help a runaway. These arethe moments that make Roots' larger point. Another aspect that makesRoots effective in its rhetoric is that it never seeps intosentimentality to makes its point. The story relies on an honestnarrative to tell its story. Is it brutal? Yes. Unjust? Definitely. Andthat is what it was. (If you don't believe "Roots", sell yourself intoslavery and see how you like it.)
Two aspects occur to me about what this story means beyond just theplain inhumanity of the institution of slavery. One aspect is that thebenefit of slavery is terribly minute when compared to the staggeringprice paid by the slaves themselves and everyone else. Simultaneously,non-slaves were pressed into service to maintain slavery as aninstitution. Such titanic sadness, misery, hopelessness brutality, andinhumanity is forced upon people (both slave and non-slave) in returnfor a more comfortable life for a minuscule segment of the population.And yet the amount of work, effort, and money to maintain the inhumaneinfrastructure seems more burdensome than if these people were free.The average white southerner could not afford to own slaves, and manyworked for slave owners as overseers, slave-catchers, auctioneers, andother positions designed to maintain the institution. In short, miseryfor thousands with a little comfort for a few.
The other tragedy is the denial of positive contribution to society.Those who were slaves were denied giving their love, their knowledge,their inspiration, and their culture to society. All this beautysacrificed so a few white aristocrats can laze around on sofas in frontof fireplaces in giant mansions. Someone once said that if we don'thelp foster the gifts in other people, we run the risk of never seeinghow our world could be made better. Slavery is a tragedy for the peopleenacting it as well, although the suffering aspect is less apparent.
"Roots" is a story that needs to be told and retold. Shown andre-shown. I would encourage any teacher trying to convey the reality ofslavery in America to consider showing at least a segment or two of"Roots". There is no question that the film is mesmerizing. It saddensme that there are still those in America that want to hang ontosouthern myths that propagate that slavery wasn't that bad. These aresome of the same people that are convinced the holocaust is afabrication. It is better to forgive than the forget. We have toembrace our roots.
I was born in 1980, and had heard of Roots from reading about LeVarBurton being the only real "name" to join Star Trek: The NextGeneration. I came across the boxset at my local library and was ableto find out what this "Roots" thing was all about. Having the series onDVD was definitely a boon as (despite being in NTSC) it has a crisp andclear appearance, usually stuff on TV from the 70's or 80's has acharacteristic fuzziness.
Despite it's lowish budget, and age, Roots has a certain kineticenergy, it kept me interested from the start. Being able to see a youngLeVar Burton was great, and without any visors or contact lenses. Thecasting was excellent all around and the actors put in 100% effort. Myonly bone to pick was using two different actors for Kunta Kinte. Theywere physically very different, John Amos doesn't look, act or soundlike LeVar Burton, which disrupts the sense of continuity the rest ofthe multi-episode characters had.
By the end I found I had become quite involved with the series andenjoyed seeing it unfold, I liked it so much I viewed the whole ninehours again with commentary (well, I had time to kill). It isinteresting that Roots carries a sense of history (as in the late 70's)and culture with it, it's not just a TV show, there's a whole airsurrounding it. I'm glad I got the opportunity to see it, I gained aclearer understanding of where African-Americans as a people are comingfrom, and I hope everyone who hasn't seen it yet gets the opportunityto do so.
In 1977 I was 10 years old, and all I remember is the majority of the citywhere I live was watching Roots each day for a week. I recently bought thevideo and watched it with my now 10 year old son, who is Black and I showhim the importance of getting an education because our ancestors weren'tallowed such luxuries. At his age everything is rosy just like it was when Iwas 10, but hopefully he can reflect back on this movie to motivate him inthe future.
Great cast of characters-even though I didn't realize that O.J. Simpson wasin it! John Amos was the best and the funniest especially when he keptlosing his character's African accent and sounding more like "James" on GoodTimes! Overall the movie is very touching and will have you experiencingmixed emotions if you're of the Black race, and have compassion if you're ofother races that haven't experienced such things. I highly recommend thisfilm and a book called the Miseducation of the Negro as Black familyheirlooms-or for anyone who wants to be enlightened concerning a portion ofBlack history.
Roots (1977) is still the best mini-series. This highly watched dramaset the bar for all of the epic television dramas. The series followsthe life of Kunta Kinte and his descendants from the coasts of WestAfrica to the plantation fields of the American south. This show pullsno punches when dealing with the sad truths about how many slaves wereshipped from their homelands and (if they survived the horrificoverseas trip) forced to work in the fields. Even though Kunta was aslave, he never lost hope about one day his ancestors would once againhave the freedom he once had. He also vowed that his ancestors wouldnever forget their roots, old ways and customs.
Kunta always tried to head for freedom whenever the chance came. Evenwhen the slave catchers cut off a piece of his foot, that neverdeterred him from running. But his marriage and child kept him fromrunning when he had the opportunity. He named his only daughter Kizzy(Mandinka for staying put). Years later, Kizzy is sold to Tom Moore whouses his slaves not only for workers but for "comfort women: as well.She has a mixed child named Chicken George who like his grandfatheralso dreams about freedom and does whatever he can to make sure thathe's a free man.
Awesome show and it still holds up well, The one thing I really got ahoot out of was seeing some of the well known liberal actors inHollywood play some of the most despicable characters you'll ever wantto see (Ralph Waite, Lloyd Bridges, Vic Morrow). The story and actingis top notched and it's definitely a heart string puller.
Highest recommendation possible.
I recently viewed all of this Mini series on the Hallmark Channel, and letme say, it was amazing! I was born 3 years after Roots was on televisionand never had the chance to see it growing up. I knew that Hallmark wasshowing it, so I made plans to see all 6 parts this week. It made meangry,it made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me happy, it made me open myeyes.The range of emotions ran the table this week. Now I know why it got allthe acclaim that it rightly deserves.
This TV mini-series has become a classic in some twenty or thirty yearsand it deserves to be, both in its first part and in its second part.Yet the quality of the filming and editing has aged and the film is notserved by the fact it was done for television that tends to show toomany close-ups and to avoid vast rapid movements and wide landscapes.But it has become a classic by the theme it deals with. The first miniseries deals with the fate of black people from when they were capturedin Africa to their liberation after the Civil War. The vision of Africain the 18th century is slightly improved on what it was. Some ritualsare nicely evoked but not shown, circumcision for example, and nothingis said about excision for the girls. The capturing of Bantu blacks inwestern Africa and their enslaving had been going on for centuries. Thenew thing is that the captured Bantu blacks were no longer sold asslaves to the northern Moslem tribes or even Moslem Maghreb people, butto the whites for only one reason: the whites paid better and more.This is not done out of decency. It seems to be done in order to avoidany rejection for the family public, any restrictive rating. It is thesame thing with the whole period about slavery. The film concentrateson odious facts but all together rather limited facts: one whipping, acouple of children sold, very few rapes by the whites in order toproduce mulattoes that could be sold for a profit. The hardships offield work are also curbed a lot. The living conditions and quarterswere quite luxurious when we know what it really was. Even the CivilWar is shown with a lot of reserve. They may say the number of dead butthey don't show the battles, the medical care of the wounded, thesavagery of the war itself and the innumerable amputees and othervictims after the war. Altogether the first part is rather tamed. Thatof course enhances the main theme of this first part, and also of thesecond part, the fact that one has to retain the memory of one'sorigins, roots, past, even if it is only a name, a few words, a fewepisodes. It is those recollections passed from one generation to thenext that feed and strengthen the sense of belonging, the hope thatwill bring the future out of the present, the light that may one dayilluminate the dull and dark present. One day at a time but always withthe past in the conscious background. And the joy of the liberation isimportant, but the first part ends on a closure too: the whites arestill there and the blacks have to live with them and compromises arenot always easy to find and not always to the real benefit of theblacks. Slavery is replaced by sharecropping but what's the differencewhen the black sharecroppers start with the debts that are attributedto them to pay for what they need to work and they should get freesince they worked for nothing for decades. That's how it works with thewhites in the South, and yet the family we are speaking of managed tofinagle a plan to get the mules free and to move out without paying forthe debts of slavery from North Carolina to Tennessee where one freedmember who got the chance to make some wealth in England had boughtsome land. That's the real freedom this family achieves after the Civilwar: to possess the land they till and thus the harvest they grow.

January 16, 2002 — ON Friday, NBC will air a special commemorating the25th anniversary of the landmark miniseries based on Alex Haley's book"Roots." Ironically, the original series aired on ABC – but officialsat that network took a pass on broadcasting the tribute.
What's truly amazing, however, is that "Roots" is receiving areverential tribute at all. For while the miniseries was a remarkable -and important – piece of television, the book on which it was based hasnow been widely exposed as a historical hoax.
Unfortunately, the general public is largely unaware of how Haley'smonumental family autobiography, stretching back to 18th-centuryAfrica, has been discredited.
Indeed, a 1997 BBC documentary expose of Haley's work has been bannedby U.S. television networks – especially PBS, which would normallywelcome such a program.
Coincidentally, the "Roots" anniversary comes amid the growing scandalover disclosures of historian Stephen Ambrose's multiple incidents ofplagiarism. Because as Haley himself was forced to acknowledge, a largesection of his book – including the plot, main character and scores ofwhole passages – was lifted from "The African," a 1967 novel by whiteauthor Hal Courlander.
But plagiarism is the least of the problems in "Roots." And they wouldlikely have remained largely unknown, had journalist Philip Nobile notundertaken a remarkable study of Haley's private papers shortly beforethey were auctioned off.
The result was featured in a devastating 1993 cover piece in theVillage Voice. It confirmed – from Haley's own notes – earlier claimsthat the alleged history of the book was a near-total invention.
"Virtually every genealogical claim in Haley's story was false," Nobilehas written. None of Haley's early writing contains any reference tohis mythic ancestor, "the African" named Kunta Kinte. Indeed, Haley'slater notes give his family name as "Kante," not "Kinte."
And a long-suppressed tape of the famous session in which Haley "found" Kunta Kinte through the recitation of an African "griot" provesthat, as BBC producer James Kent noted, "the villagers (were)threatened by members of Haley's party. These turn out to be seniorgovernment officials desperate to ensure that things go smoothly."
Haley, added Kent, "specifically asks for a story that will fit hispredetermined American narrative."
Historical experts who checked Haley's genealogical research discoveredthat, as one put it, "Haley got everything wrong in his pre-Civil Warlineage and none of his plantation ancestors existed; 182 pages have nobasis in fact."
Given this damning evidence, you'd think Haley's halo would long agohave vanished. But – given this week's TV tribute – he remains aliterary icon. Publicly, at least.
The judge who presided over Haley's plagiarism case admitted that "Idid not want to destroy him" and so allowed him to settle quietly -even though, he acknowledged, Haley had repeatedly perjured himself incourt.
The Pulitzer Prize board has refused to reconsider Haley's prize,awarded in 1977 – in what former Columbia President William McGill,then a board member, has acknowledged was an example of "inverseracism" by a bunch of white liberals "embarrassed by our makeup."
Yet the uniqueness of "Roots" is that it was presented as factualhistory, albeit with fictional embellishments. Haley himself stressedthat the details came from his family's oral history and had beencorroborated by outside documents.
But Professor Henry Louis Gates of Harvard, a Haley friend, concedesthat it's time to "speak candidly," adding that "most of us feel it'shighly unlikely that Alex actually found the village from whence hisancestors came.

Recently, someone posted on Facebook: "How do you know that you're in love?"
I was intrigued by the myriad of answers all coming from different life experiences.
Mary, a former CatholicMatch member, shared how and when she knew she was in love: "For me, it was a gradual progression, not a lightning bolt instant. I took time to get to know him, including observing him amongst friends and family as well as meeting up in several places over the course of a period of time."
More women in the discussion echoed the idea that there was a gradual progression: "There is no moment. Everyone is on a different schedule, so I wouldn't worry." Another contributor added, "Just go with the flow and someday it will hit you. I love him or I don't love him."
Other women had very different experiences. Some shared that their feelings were immediate and very real.
One woman shared this kind of experience with us: "I knew after the first time I talked to him on the phone that he was something special. Can't really explain it, but there was just something. I knew I was in love with him after we met the first time. After he went through security at the airport I was in bathroom crying and nearly sick because we were not sure when we would see each other again. A few hours later he called to tell me that he had gotten off his overbooked flight and was sitting in the Denver airport for 6 hours so I could have a free ticket to visit him. It was all over then I was hooked. It was pretty quick for both of us."
Another married woman said, "We both knew we felt differently about one another than anyone else. And we would talk about how this was the easiest dating experience we had ever had. It seemed so right and natural for us to be together."
Another woman posted some very sweet words about her marriage: "I realized he was the one I wanted to tell all the good stuff to and I wanted to be there for him. He proved himself worthy time after time."
And our very own CatholicMatch member Marge-938695, made a comment that went straight to my heart: "When I realized that his welfare was more important to me than anything I could think of."
I think this resonated most with me because I've felt that powerful, selfless, generous feeling; and it is indeed a profound realization. As a Catholic, it goes back to the idea of sacrifice, and that all love ultimately leads us to the cross.
The thread took another turn, one that I found interesting. One woman said: "I've always been one to over think this subject." She later reflected on the danger of mistaking true love from the idea of falling in love. I think that's a very real, relevant danger.
Another woman posted a quote from her friend: "Many times in romance I have been a victim of my own optimism."
I think this really gets to the heart of the issue: that we want so much to be in love for its own sake that our hopeful optimism may lead us on the path to a particular kind of victimhood. But in the end, some women thought that the optimism ultimately paid off once they met "the one."
Our wonderful Mary summed up the discussion with some very wise words: "Remember that love isn't just feeling it is also a choice. There are definitely days that have to choose to love my husband because those warm mushy feelings just aren't there. There are also times that I look at him and my heart skips a beat. I like those times lots!"
I think there are some very deep truths in all of these women's thoughts, and are applicable to men as well. Hopefully, we can keep these things in mind as we navigate this often confusing journey in our search for love.

The good... Near a tram stop. Near one end of Vondel park. Price average. Staff friendly. Nice coffee. Beds comfy. free mints at the counter Woohoo.
The bad... seemed to be stuck out in the middle of nowhere and beside busy road. Surrounds were desolate. Lots of construction about. Room small. Stairs, hall, room all smelled of cigarettes. Coffee and tea was short and not replenished. Room could have been cleaner. Was told to come back to the front desk in 15 minutes so i did not disturb the daily housekeeping meeting.
Make up your own mind.
I would stay closer to central Districts next time even if a bit more expensive.

... and this is when I made a conscious effort to really try and relax, to not take things too seriously, to live slowly and comfortably (like the Dutch), and to take things as they go. I could focus on the past and how I lost my phone, but why? It's only going to make me more frustrated. So I went into Utrecht with a great mentality and refreshed mind. The first person I met was Mer�n. He was cool, and now on day 11, I can say that we are still friends and I hope to stay ...

st: STATA error r(603) File could not be opened - Dropbox
Sat, 16 Feb 2013 14:11:26 +0700
I have started another thread but a couple of people have posted
about file errors when trying to saving files - and I cant find the
appropriate place to respond.
I have been having this problem too and seem to have found a solution
I am running STATA MP11 on an Asus I7 laptop. My internet connection
is slow (very slow!!). I am building up a data set using a collapse
statement and repeatedly saving to the same file. The problem is that
when I run the d0-file as a whole I get a "could not be opened r(603)"
statement - this happens semi randomly through the sequence of file
saves (example code below). Suggested sources of the problem included
virus checking software and software that saves to the cloud.
The problem clearly seems to be that the file is being used when it is
to be saved (no problems occur running line by line). One suggested
solution was using - - "sleep 2000" to delay the save command. I
found that by pausing the sync to Dropbox via the (very slow) internet
solved the problem (so far). Dropbox has this option I dont know about
other applications.
I suspect users will have different experiences depending on the size
of the file they are saving and the speed of the internet connection.

|Considering Foods Functional
Kate J. Claycombe
Over the past few years, there has been a surge in public interest in foods that contain natural ingredients with special health benefits. These have come to be called "functional foods".
Fruits are functional foods. Cherries, apples, berries, red grapes, oranges and grapefruits contain vitamin-like factors called flavonoids. Flavonoids have been found to increase fat metabolism, reduce inflammation and decrease muscle soreness after exercise.
Flavonoids are also found in some vegetables: yellow onions, scallions, kale and broccoli, as well as in tea and wine. These foods, and the flavonoids they provide, are thought to contribute to cardiovascular health. Soybeans, soy milk and tofu contain certain types of flavonoids called isoflavones, which have weak, estrogen-like effects. High intakes of soy foods have been shown to reduce low-density lipoprotein (LDL or "bad" cholesterol), a risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
Egg yolks, soybeans, whole grains, fish and legumes also contain choline. Choline is important in the metabolism of lipids, the function of nerves and the development of the brain. Clinical studies have shown that choline intake is related to cognitive performance. Low choline intakes during pregnancy have been associated with an increased risk of birth defects in the fetus.
Fermented foods such as yogurt are also functional. They contain microbes commonly found in the gastrointestinal tract that have favorable effects. Hence, these foods are referred to as "probiotics". The human intestine is home to more than 500 species of microbes that process fiber and other non-digestible components of the foods we eat. These microbes serve to maintain the cells that line gut, stimulating immunity and reducing inflammation. Probiotics support these healthful functions.
Salmon, cod and fish, flax and canola oils are functional because they provide omega-3 fatty acids. These fatty acids are thought to be responsible for the low prevalence of cardiovascular disease among Eskimos despite the fact that their diets are typically high in fat and contain few, if any, vegetables or fruits. Research has shown that consumption of omega-3 fatty acids is associated with reduced risks of cancer and depression. Certain omega-3 fatty acids, called EPA and DHA, have been found important for normal fetal development of the brain, retinal and immune system development. The USDA Dietary Guidelines for Americans in 2010 recommended the consumption of two 3 ounce servings of salmon, tuna, mackerel, herring or trout weekly. Research at the Grand Forks Human Nutrition Research Center showed that individuals following this recommendation effectively increased their omega-3 fatty acid status.
Flaxseed is a good source of dietary fiber and has been shown to have cholesterol-lowering effects.
Including functional foods in your diet is a smart way of supporting your own health. You can find more information about functional foods and their roles in affordable, balanced diets at www.choosemyplate.gov/.

For our 4-year anniversary, The Boyfriend planned a lovely day at the zoo. (He knows me so well.) We went on a Monday morning, so we pretty much had the whole place to ourselves. And the weather was nice & mild that day so most of the animals were out and active - and very entertaining!
Upon entering the gates, the first thing I noticed was the unusually high number of peacocks roaming the zoo's grounds. I'm used to seeing squirrels all over the place but peacocks? There were a few males, resting and grooming their feathers, but there were also a lot of females and the occasional baby. I'd never seen a baby peacock before - they look just like ducklings!
We got to the zoo just a few minutes before the bears' feeding time so we headed over to check them out. The polar bear was feeling more lazy than hungry, I guess.
The grizzlies, on the other hand, were going nuts diving in the water searching for the food their trainers hid. I'm glad there was a glass barrier to separate us - you don't want to come between a lady grizzly and her lunch!
Just as The Boyfriend was reading about the bald eagle's wing span, this guy decided to stretch out and show off for us. Sadly, he only had one wing to show. It's good to know he's living out a safe & cozy retirement at the zoo.
Colorful-but-scary face!
We wandered into Africa for a bit.
The big cats are always a fave for me. Someday, I will pet a lion. I don't know how or when, but someday...
...maybe it's the chub rolls on their little arms & legs.
One thing's for sure, these animals are definitely well-fed.

Rio Ferdinand fury
RIO FERDINAND hit out at Roy Hodgson last night after being snubbed by the England boss for a SECOND time.
Why is Rio different? To treat a player that has captained and served his country 81 times (in this manner) is nothing short of disgraceful
The Manchester United centre-back was already angry at being left out of Hodgson's original 23-man squad.
But Starsport understands the defender, who has 81 caps, was seething after missing out once more as rookie Liverpool defender Martin Kelly was called up as Cahill's replacement.
Ferdinand flew to Cyprus for a family holiday yesterday.
But after hearing news of his latest snub he tweeted: "What reasons?????!!!" suggesting he is still in the dark over his axing.
His representative and friend Jamie Moralee later said: "Lampard, Terry, Barry, Gerrard; all ageing but they go to the tournament.
"Why is Rio different? To treat a player that has captained and served his country 81 times (in this manner) is nothing short of disgraceful.
"Total lack of respect from Hodgson and the FA."
Hodgson opted for the inexperienced Kelly, 22, despite him having won just one cap and making only 10 appearances for Liverpool last season.
Hodgson claimed Ferdinand's original snub last month was due to "footballing reasons".
He denied it had anything to do with the presence in the squad of John Terry, who is awaiting trial next month for allegedly racially abusing Ferdinand's younger brother Anton in a game last season.
But his latest rejection confirms Ferdinand's long international career is now over.
Hodgson's plans were left in tatters last night, a week before the opening Group D clash with France, after Cahill became the latest victim of England's injury curse.
The Chelsea defender suffered a double fracture in a collision with goalkeeper Joe Hart after being shoved into him by Dries Mertens in England's 1-0 win over Belgium on Saturday.
His worst fears were confirmed yesterday following X-rays.
Mertens said: "It was an accident. He blocked me off and he's hit his head. But there was no malice. I feel for him."
Cahill is the fourth star after John Ruddy, Frank Lampard and Gareth Barry to be crocked.
Micah Richards was seen by many as the obvious replacement.
But his earlier refusal to go on the standby list meant Kelly got the call.

Discussion in 'Draft Zone' started by silver, Jan 2, 2006.
what would it take to trade up for him?
More then we have. We would have to get in the top 10 if not the top 5.
I think Justice, Scott and Colledge and young guy that's moving up the charts will be just as good.
Yep, too much I think. At #18, I think we could still land a quality tackle like Scott, Justice, Winston, possibly McNeill.
We're not one piece away from contending, folks. Those 2nd and 3rd rounders could yield a starting FS and another OL possibly.
i know. but we keep misfiring on the second round. other than julius, he have little to show for our second rounders. if we could secure the next jonathan ogden or orlando pace would you part ways with al johnson, jacob rogers or kevin burnett?
I'd rather come out of the draft with a Jeff Backus (18th pick in Round 1), Pisa Tinoisamoa(14th pick Round 2) and a Steve Smith (Pick 13 Round 3) then 1 Orlando Pace
Better yet, since were on the 2006 draft how about a Winston Justice, Abdul Hodge and Maurice Stovall? lol
Ferguson...great technique, but one thing the needs pointing out is that he's going to have to put on 25 pounds to play NFL tackle. He only weighs around 290.
I like Mcneil better.
Mark my words Brickshaw will be a top 3 pick. If theres anyone worth trading up for its him but I think we could get a good tackle with the 18th Hopefully McNeill?
Isn't he the guy who tried to take out Kiwi???
No he's not the Kiwi killer.
Yes I would.


text: Hello All, Newbie to this forum. Just purchased an '03 Sub and will be pulling a pop-up camper with it. My question is in reference to the factory trailer wiring harness. In the owner's manual is the following statement: If your trailer is equipped with electronic brakes, you can get a jumper harness (electric trailer brake control) with a trailer battery feed fuse from your dealer. This harness and fuse should be installed by your dealer or a qualified service center. I understand that GM P/N 15085418 is this harness....and I understand that I can use this harness to directly wire in my brake controller......my question is, does anyone know if this harness also supplies 12vdc to the auxillary post of the rear mounted RV connector? As well, does anyone know if specific connection diagrams comes with this harness or does anyone have a link for such? Thanks much for your time!!

Hey everyone, just wanted to say hi! I'm a new member but have owned a 2007 WRX Sedan for just under a year now, and finally got some disposable income, so I'll hopefully be looking to some of you for advice on what do do/not do with it!
Quick info - I'm 21, live in Westchester NY, and go to school at Penn State. I've been a huge fan of WRXs since I can remember, and have looked at a lot of posts on this website, so I figured it was time to join. Also, I'll have some pics up later this week, even though I don't have much done to my car (yet )
Alright, hope to talk to some of you soon!

My Mistakes and Building A Trading Strategy (1)
I am going to share a personal story with you about my beginning in the forex markets and how I learned how to develop a trading strategy and the mistakes I learned along the way. I share my journey with you in 5 articles, as you will see that I have developed very good trading strategy overtime. I hope you can learn by mistakes and that you use my system as a guide or comparison to your own. If you like please comment and share your experiences and thoughts.
I was introduced to trading currency by a friend, who showed me this incredible program based on 5 and 15-minute charts, would, as the little candlesticks appeared on the charts, make huge profits.
My Mistakes and Building A Trading Strategy (1)
Nevertheless, I was hooked. All those little candles moving in obvious patterns, up and down the chart, must be easy to understand, I thought. All I needed to do was find the correct combination of indicators and I would get rich. In addition to this, there were so many online sites offering free advice on where currency pairs were heading, all I had to do was take these experts' advice and I'd always be on the right side of the trade. I ended up with a folder full stuff on trading; different methods, different indicators etc. I had RSS feeds pumping information at me all day long.
However, I still couldn't make money.
There were, for me, several areas of confusion that affected my progress as a novice, and I'll address these areas individually. I've put them in this order, as this was the route I took when I started out. I now realize that that was the wrong way to approach trading currency, so I modified the list later to show the route I wished I'd taken.
My route:
An alternative:
- Account size and leverage
- Demo versus Live
- Time frames
- Psychology
- Money Management
- Systems
I will explain, in more depth, my reasoning for each heading as I go along, but for now this is the thinking behind the modified list.
1. Account size and leverage
It takes time to learn a consistent way of producing steady growth in your account. To ensure you have that time it's important to consider how much effort and money you are prepared to invest in that learning and, more importantly how slowly you are prepared to lose your money. Because, as a rule, you will be more likely to lose than win as you start trading. The smaller the account, the more risk is involved, therefore the less time you can afford making wrong decisions.
Whether you go for a live, or demo, account) you should start with a broker offering 400:1 account leverage. This lets you master Money Management (MM), by trading micro lots (0.01). You also need to understand the difference between Broker Leverage and Actual Leverage, and I'll point you towards links that will help you with this terminology.
'Should I demo or go live?' I started live, and was sorry I did, however, I started the wrong way. I began with too small an account relative to what I was trying to achieve. I didn't understand any of the stuff in my list; all I could see was the house on the beach.
Not understanding money management or risk management, I tried Spread Betting. The same problem of account leverage came up. I didn't have enough in my account to enable me to set sensible stops, I couldn't face the drawdown's while waiting to see if my trade was going to turn into a winner. The value in demo trading is two-fold.
First, you get to understand all the jargon and how things work and, secondly, you get to develop a feel for how your chosen method works. Every method, or system, has weaknesses. You need to find those out as soon as you can, and how money management can keep you in the game longer. When you decide to go live, stick with Broker Leverage of 400:1 and continue to trade micro lots. As you gain experience, and your account grows, your money management and risk assessment skills will enable you to increase your lot size and grow it faster.
3. Time frames
Time frames are down to personal choice; all I can do here is tell you what worked for me. As I said, I started on 5 and 15-minute charts, and always struggled. I now focus on the daily charts, but use the shorter time frames to look for better entries in order to reduce risk. I realize that many people, starting out, have difficulty with this. I now feel that the reason is simply that we fall into the trap of 'having to trade'. By that I mean if we're not trading, we feel we're not working. The urge to always have a position on is hard to resist, but it's the biggest problem I had to overcome. Not all trades are good trades and sometimes you need to sit on the sidelines.
4. Psychology
Even when I felt I'd started to turn the corner in trading, I didn't really make the major leap forward until I read a book entitled several books. I recommend that you read and learn as much as possible as it will help further your trading. It will help you come to terms with losing trades, and develop the vital neutral mindset so crucial to your success. Park your emotions at the door.
5. Money Management
I've mentioned money management already, and you may wonder why it's this far down the list, but until the first four items are resolved it's hard to fully understand how important this is to you. Choose your account size and leverage, demo to learn the how things work, and what it all means, pick your time frame and get to grips with your mental state. Now you can devote time to mastering money management and risk assessment.
