Strategies for Profiting on Every Trade–Simple Lessons for Mastering the Market
Putting money away for the future once meant having a savings account or a stash of bills under the mattress. Those days are long gone. Now concepts such as "investing" and "trading" surface whenever talk turns to retirement funds or saving for the proverbial rainy day. While some have embraced the art of investing, trading in securities is still a mystery to many. So how does one become versed in the art of trading? With his new book, Strategies for Profiting on Every Trade–Simple Lessons for Mastering the Market, Oliver L. Velez, author, speaker and co-founder of Pristine Capital Holdings Inc., may just have the answer.
As the title implies, this book is all about stock market trading and how to profit from it. Velez does not assume that the reader is already involved in day trading. Instead, his introduction is divided into three parts to help the reader get ready before immersing himself or herself in the actual strategies discussed later.
Part 1 explains various terms, such as "investing," "day trading" and "online investors." It also points out some of the tools that you need to trade, such as Internet access with a faster connection than dial-up. Part 2 discusses the importance of time with respect to trading, a notion often overlooked. As the saying goes, "timing is everything," so it is important to understand that some trades carry a quick turnaround while others develop over time. Part 3 describes that first day of trading—how to understand plays and figure out a trading plan. Velez recommends paper trading initially—meaning no capital is actually invested, but you make decisions and then are shown the consequences of those decisions—until you develop a feel for the real thing.
The main portion of the book is split into seven chapters, each containing lessons in some aspect of trading. Chapter 1 "Lessons on Getting Ready," for example, explains the concept of compiling a "watch list" instead of trading "blind." Chapter 2, "Lessons on Some Basics," explains the fundamentals. It defines a variety of trading terms, such as equity, Treasuries, REITs, munis, futures markets and index funds, and describes different ways to play the market. Chapter 3, "Lessons on Managing," covers such questions as how much you are prepared to lose in the gamble that a stock you've chosen will rebound and what you should do if a trade results in disaster. It emphasizes that knowing your limits is even more important than knowing the risks of trading.
In Chapter 4, "Lessons on Psycho-logy in Trading & Planning," Velez discusses such issues as fear and discipline; fear may prevent a trader from operating at his or her full potential. "Technical Lessons," the focus of Chapter 5, discusses what Velez considers the two most common mistakes traders make: shorting (selling) strong stocks or buying weak ones without any particular strategy; and trying to guess when a trend will end. Chapter 6, "Chart Lessons on the Market," provides tips on how to read the market daily to figure out trends, while Chapter 7 focuses on "Lessons on Classic Patterns." The Conclusion is a cheat sheet of the book's main point and is helpful as a quick reference.
Velez does not allow the reader to become overwhelmed. Instead, he breaks up each chapter into numerous subheadings so that it is not necessary to read the entire chapter at once in order to get a sense of the message. Also helpful are the tables and graphs that illustrate the various points. Velez also manages to make his points by using terms for the novice trader instead of peppering the text with industry jargon. In cases where he uses industry terminology, he carefully explains what the terms mean.
Overall, the information provided is invaluable and timely in today's environment of increasingly popular stock market investing. While there are many uncertainties attached to the movements of the stock market, Velez's lessons should prove useful no matter how the markets are performing. His advice is not just geared toward up trends, but also includes numerous ideas for when the market plunges or a stock's up trend ends. With its clear ideas and suggestions, Strategies for Profiting on Every Trade–Simple Lessons for Mastering the Market proves an accessible and helpful aid whether you are a novice or an expert at trading.

Alcoholics Anonymous was created to help people who were too weak willed to turn their lives around on their own; by making them part of a like-minded group from which they could draw the strength and encouragement they needed to live better lives. The Commission on Banking Standards, a blueprint of which was unveiled this morning, seeks to achieve a similar result using a similar method for the banking industry.
Bringing the industry into one body with the aim of improving standards in banking will, it is hoped, bring about results which the banks seem unwilling or unable to deliver on their own —hence the request from the chairmen of the UK's big banks and building societies to Sir Richard Lambert to produce this draft.
Lambert's paper outlines a body which would hope to raise banking standards by defining what good banking should look like, by setting benchmarks for the various activities and by reporting every year on the progress being made. As with Alcoholics Anonymous there is nothing likely to be proposed in terms of standards, training, ethics and processes which an individual bank could not work out and do on its own, if it had the willpower. But the fact that this body is being set up at the request of the chairmen of our leading banks suggests that they harbour doubts about whether their organisations, if left to their own devices, will stick on the path of reform long enough to embed lasting change.
This standards-setting body was, however, originally a recommendation of the Parliamentary Commission on Banking Standards, which held extensive hearings last year. But the politician's stock response to any problem is to set up a committee, so one has to ask whether there is actually room for another body.
The numbers of organisations which already have their finger in the banking pie are legion, so the problem is not a shortage of rules, regulations, supervision or agreement on what good banking looks like. It is getting bankers to deliver it when it goes against their personal financial interest which is so hard. Given that bankers already know what is expected of them, will signing up to a new body make a difference? Only if the patients genuinely want to be cured. But if the patients genuinely want to be cured then they could cure themselves without having to sign up.
The document almost concedes as much early on when Lambert refers to pay and writes: "Incentives shape behaviour. In too many cases industry norms have incentivised short-term revenue generation as opposed to the duty of care to customers. So long as this is allowed to continue, banking will fail in its efforts to raise standards of conduct."
Amen to that. But if the banks got rid of their bonus systems and used customer satisfaction as the basis for rewarding people again they would go a long way towards solving their problems. However, almost daily comes evidence that they find it impossible to make this leap. Lambert concedes the Standards commission won't succeed if bankers' pay does not change. But if bankers' pay was changed you would no longer need the commission. Meanwhile we are entering the banks reporting season and the early signs are that bonuses have been moderated nowhere near enough to prevent a further explosion of public outrage. Given that this commission's long-term objective is to rebuild trust, then pay could yet again turn out to be the insuperable toxic problem.
Perhaps this will come out in public comment. The blueprint for the commission takes the form of a discussion paper, which explains how the body would work, what it would set out to do and how it would pick its way between and work alongside the existing army of supervisors, trade bodies, professional associations and regulators who are already active in this area. Having gathered in what Lambert hopes will be a wide-ranging response in the next few weeks, final proposals will be published later this year.
Generating engagement and a wide response is indeed the commission's first hurdle because its credibility will only come if it wins support right across society and business. Having the banks on board, even if the vast majority of foreign as well as British sign up, will not be enough.
It has to be independent, well informed and courageous, not just in the first few months of its life, but several years hence when memories of the crisis have faded, new blood is running the banks and those who counsel moderation are dismissed as has-beens who do not understand the nature of modern banking.
Emphasising the positive about his proposal Lambert makes two points. First, there are precedents from other industries where collective action has raised standards in ways that individual participants found impossible to do on their own. Second, if the banks can't raise standards voluntarily then an attempt will be made to do it through regulation. But history teaches us that you get much higher standards from self-regulation than you ever do by resorting to legislation so it makes sense to go down the voluntary route first. We may have doubts about this commission's chances of success, but we ought at least to give it a try.Reuse content

This impressive illustration has been created showing four of the most famous faces of Robin Williams, as a poignant tribute to the late actor.
The drawing, by Nadeesha Gamage, shows the different characters merged into one face, depicting the huge diversity of the Oscar winner's career spanning more than 30 years.
Among his best loved roles are Mrs Doubtfire (top left), Professor Philip Brainard from Flubber (top right), Dr.Sean Maguire from Good Will Hunting (bottom left) and his Aladdin role Genie (bottom right).
The incredible tribute has already gone viral after being shared by Williams fans across social networking sites worldwide.
The death of Robin Williams - who was found dead earlier this week - shocked film fans around the world.
Reports suggest the star took his own life after he allegedly spiralled into depression suffering from Parkinson's disease.
But the 63-year-old, famed for making people laugh, will be remembered forever for his diverse array of film roles ranging from children's classics and family comedies to movie epics and moving dramas.
And if anyone had forgotten, this illustration is a perfect reminder.


text: I've been trying to figure this out and can't seem to get a straight answer. Now, granted Zegna has renamed the "˜Napoli Couture, Couture, etc...' line several times over and its hard to keep track of what is what, but barring that there has to be an answer. I have read that they are (were?) made by Lorenzini, which would in a way make sense, but the fabrics are almost surely Zegna in origin. Thus possibly Zegna supplied shirting fabric and Lorenzini made the shirts. Although, would it make a lot of sense for Zegna to outsource shirt production when they have several shirting factories which are (seemingly) up to the task of making the Couture shirts? Jon.

I have a very lightly used Teknic leather street bike jacket for sale. It doesn't fit me anymore. The size is 50/60 whatever that means, I am pretty sure it is a XL size. I was a decent size frame when I bought it. I used it for maybe 2 seasons and I really didn't ride all that much. The jacket is very comfortable, has a removable/breathable interior liner. Inside secret pockets and outside zipper pockets. It also has the belt loop in the rear to keep your ass from showing! The ends of the sleeves also zip/unzip. It is a nice thick jacket and would definitely save your skin god forbid you ever have to use it for that.
I wore maybe 20 times tops, it is perfectly clean, no rips or tears or dirt on it. Has been sitting in my closet for a few years and didn't want to just throw it away.
I believe I paid $400 when it was new, asking $100 obo. Shipping available at your expense.

"We never have discrepancies," Neville says. Instead of mediating disputes, she sets up the boards — SBS uses plastic dealies from a company called Baggo — and makes sure everyone has someone to play with, sometimes filling in herself. In the colder months, when cornhole moves indoors to Game On, she sits behind the DJ booth, announcing teams and stoking the crowd. Last winter, in a particularly spirited match, the Bruins mascot Blades happened to drop by. "It was awesome — we were all doing the wave."
Neville, a Boston native, fell in love with cornhole three summers ago while visiting friends in California. She spent her days and nights cornholing, falling for the simple pleasures of throwing a bag into a hole. As soon as Neville returned to Boston, she built her own regulation boards, ordered some bags, and converted her friends. When SBS started its league a year and a half ago, she was thrilled.
"I like that anybody can play," Neville explains. "I can convince my friends who don't know how to play, and everyone is willing to give it a try. It's not as intimidating as team sports."
When Neville first joined the league, she kept getting creamed. She wasn't too upset: "Most people aren't that good," she says. "Even if you aren't necessarily good at it at first, you can learn it and be pretty decent."
Everything changed after her third official match. Now, whenever Neville sees a cornholer get discouraged, she shares what she calls her Cinderella story.
"When I first played, on the Hyatt terrace, we were getting annihilated by these two guys." Instead of giving up, she scrutinized her victor. "What is he doing that I'm not?" she wondered. After an hour, she figured it out.
To this day, she won't divulge what she learned, and she clams up when I ask her to name her technique. After some coaxing, she relents. "I call it the Dirty Diaper," she says.
Rapt, I look into my lap and realize I have been stroking the bag as though it were a kitten.
The match reaches the end of the first hour. The Great Cornholios, Bags Deep, and the Bean Crushing Blondes clear the field, making way for 2 Girls 1 Hole, the Glory Holes, and Hell Hath No Fury Like a Woman Corned.
I catch Jon Platt and Michael Burns of Bags Deep, who trounced the Amateur Corn Stars when one of their members failed to show. Both learned the game while tailgating in college.
I needed to know the secret of their success — did they have their own Dirty Diaper?
Burns spins a detailed explanation of how he deals with slippery plastic boards. "You need to brush the ceiling [with the bag] so it doesn't slide or bounce," he says.
Platt raises an eyebrow, laughing as he answers: "It's just how much you drink."

The new generation of nonprofit leaders (Chronicle of Philanthropy)
This post also features a video: young nonprofit leaders sharing their thoughts, hopes and frustrations related to working in the sector. While not specifically board related, their message is one that boards need to hear. In sharing this, I'm not inviting you to micromanage staffing decisions. Rather, I encourage you to be mindful of the interests and concerns of your current and future organizational leaders, both staff and board. The reality is, "the way we've always done it" - particularly in terms of what we expect of our staff - is no longer a sustainable system (Not that it ever was. Ask the many Baby Boomers who burned out taking a 24/7 approach to their work.).
Should a Catholic charity take money from Hooters? (Chris MacDonald)
This one may feel entirely out of place in a listing of board resources, but there is a good reason I'm including it. I'm asking you to not critique this specific case, but to use this example as an opportunity to launch a discussion with our own board about the limits you (should) have regarding donations, partnerships, etc. What are the boundaries? How do your values help to define those boundaries?
Creating a culture of learning and accountability (Matthew Forti)
Since I began this week's list on a potentially depressing note, I'll end with a resource that I hope will inspire and lead to greater capacity to serve. It's a follow-up to a link I shared in an earlier "overheard" post. In this offering, The Bridgespan Group continues the conversation about the need to devote attention to nurturing an environment of where learning is encouraged and where accountability is expected. As with so many of the resources I share, the author provides a service to readers by offering recommendations that break something as large and abstract as cultural change into something we can visualize as possible.

Divers exploring a labyrinth of underwater caves on the Yucatan Peninsula have recently discovered a human skull and some mastodon bones hidden deep beneath the water. Some scientists speculate that the skull "might be the oldest evidence of humans in the Americas."1
The unusual discovery was made as divers descended into a pit they found inside the cave. The pit is called Hoyo Negra, which means "black hole" in Spanish. Divers had to travel several thousand feet through the underwater cave system to reach Hoyo Negra. This was accomplished by using special equipment, such as underwater scooters. The human skull and mastodon bones were found approximately 120 feet down into the pit, which is nearly 200 feet deep.
How did mastodon remains and a human skull end up in an underwater cave system? It's hard to know the answer. Evidence of bonfires was found in some of these underwater caves2, so the cave was probably above water at some point in the past. What an exciting discovery!
Have you ever wondered how caves form? It certainly doesn't take millions of years. Caves "could have formed rapidly during the closing stages of, and after, the worldwide Flood of Noah's day. With the incredible amounts of water from the Flood, the increased carbon levels from all the decaying matter and the related tectonic activity, the global Flood described in Genesis 7–8 produced the right conditions for caves to form very quickly."3

How lovely it will be to hear your travel stories. Very much looking forward to them. Still hope to see you before you leave though!! Love Janine.
Our last month in Australia, Christmas & NYE
Loading Map
When I got back from W.A. (my late night flight was delayed two and a half hours) -- working on only a few hours sleep -- we moved out to my parents place in Hoddles Creek. We came to stay planning to only be here for a short time to look after the animals while the rest of my family were still in W.A. but we have been enjoying the quite, lazy days so much we decided it would be nice to stay longer.
We had an impromptu New Years Eve celebration out here with the Heidelberg West/Heights Cameron clan plus David and Lee coming out for a mini retreat holiday
We have made a few visits back to Heidelberg West to help with the last of the move from Carbeena to Hibi. Jelly, Michi, Edwin and Maria have done an amazing, beautiful job refreshing Hibi for the next phase in its life. We wish you guys all the best in your wonderful new home and hope we can share many good times with you there in the future.
Well I think that should do for the first blog. Things should get a little more exciting when we get on the move, Less than 30 days until we leave for our European Adventure. Time is sneaking past so quickly.
So, until next time...
Post your own travel photos for friends and family More Pictures
What a fabulous first entry! There' s just one detail that you forgot to include about the Despedida party we held for you on your last night at Carbeena, Floss: the song I made up about you!!
For the record, the song goes very close to the tune of 'The Birds and the Bees' and I composed it while riding home after an extremely long day at work in the bucketing rain... I cheered myself up so much by making the little rhymes I could think of about you Floss that I only smiled when a car splashed my whole body with a solid sheet of water.
Ok, here goes:
Let me tell you about the Flossie Behre
With the long blonde hair
If you want to hear a dream
Things ain't what they seem
Sit down at the breakfast table
Or for lunch and dinner too
She'll have a story for you
And when I think of all the things she does
That make Carbeena feel like home sweet home
Then I'm very sad
I'm very sad
That it's about to end
Let me tell you 'bout the Flossie Behre
With the long blonde hair
If you want to wax your legs
Or whisk up eggs
Just ask Floss
She's the boss
She'll tell you what to do
Let me tell you 'bout the Flossie Behre
With the long blonde hair
She made a jump suit
One for Leo to boot
If you wanna give it a whirl
Floss is you girl
She'll teach you how to knit
Let me tell you 'bout the Flossie Behre
With the long blonde hair
When I heard about her first
She was a gym instructor
A swimming instructor
With big breasts
...I'll Felix tell the rest!
Lots of love guys!!! Having just read over my emails from the Flip, I'm so glad both for me and for you two that you're setting up your travel blog, so you can look back on the good times one day as well :-)
Wohoo! This is great! What a wonderful blog you have set up :o) I'm so excited about your travels! Looking forward to hearing all about them. Lots of love! Hope to see you soon ;o)
Dear Felix and Floss!
We have just been looking through the pictures from new year's eve at Hoddles creek. Lovely pictures! At at beautiful place! We enjoyed them very much and felt just like participating after having met you all and know what you look like etc. Thank you SO MUCH! We are so happy to be able to see how this event was celebrated! Love from Finn and Solveig

From Steve McGaughlin and his website;
Please if you have a minute, read what I'm sharing from the Guns Across America - New York page has posted. I spoke with JJ today about this and said I thought the best thing was to let the people know what the Alderman, David Marston from Hudson said to her. You can feel the seething contempt from this clown.
Here's his email because after reading his tirade, you might want to send him a note.
From JJ. (who, by the way was the organizer of the first rally in Albany back in January.)
As most of you know, the City of Hudson in Columbia County is discussing a City-Wide Gun Ban. No weapons would be allowed on ANY city-owned property. As State Organizer AND a resident of Columbia County, I WILL be at the meeting of Hudson's Legal Committee tomorrow night when they address this issue. About a week ago, I forwarded the very poignant letter from the Saratoga Deputy, to the Mayor and Alderman of Hudson, and stated that this was an example of how the majority of LEOs feel about the sad state of our country. I received a response from Alderman Dave Marston, and the guy just went OFF ! I am posting the exchange between myself and Mr. Marsten here for your opinions.

What is this? Is this about the Pledge of Allegiance or the S.A.F.E. act? Is it a personal essay submission? I'm not clear why I was sent this and what purposes it purports to serve? Please Advise.
David Marston.

to dave
Dear Mr. Marston, This was sent to you as an Alderman of the City of Hudson, so you can see where 98% of NY Law Enforcement stand on the NY Safe Act before your Legal Committee decides to impose a Total Gun Ban in your city. The VERY few Law Enforcement Officers that support the Safe Act, about 2%, are all Democrats and Liberals who have never given a donkey's behind about the Constitutional Rights of the people who employ them. Patriotic Americans like the Deputy who wrote this letter, are incensed over the State and Federal attempts to disarm law-abiding Americans and spit on the Constitution. We all know what the REAL agenda is, and we will never allow it. Many of us will be at the meeting in Hudson on 2-27-2013 to make certain our voices are heard.

to me
Dear Joanna Johnson-Smith,
Its really neat that all you gun toting tea party psychotards are so interested in the goings on of our little City, even though I find it amazing that you don't have any other pressing issues before you in New Lebanon. On the other hand, I guess its not surprising, considering you ideologues aren't interested in actual policy, but rather grandstanding on mythical narratives of victimization.
Two things: The only spit here is the white stuff frothing on the ends of that rotten little mouth of yours from which you spew this hateful ignorant trash. And a donkeys behind? The rabid ignorance of the fringe is best illustrated by its sad metaphors, I mean seriously, thank you for the laughs.
By all means, come on down, we'll be happy to beat you barbarians back with the clubs of reason & responsibility, radical lunatics that you are. And say, a quick ProTip, since you're the "organizer" for unemployed guns nuts USA. Next time you think these unhinged rants will change the mind of anyone who has even a modicum of intelligence, you might instead just go back down into your basement & watch another episode of wheel-of-fortune. It'll certainly be just as effective. Remember: there are millions of Eagle Scout God Worshiping Patriots who find you & your radical ilk as disgraceful to American Democracy as the Brown Shirt jackboots you act like. I happen to be just one of them. Good Luck.
Best Regards,
David Marston.

Rita threatens new hurricane havoc
Page Tools
President George Bush, on his fifth visit to hurricane-ravaged New
Orleans, has urged gulf coast residents to heed a new evacuation
Photo: AFP
UP TO a million people in low-lying US gulf coast areas have been urged to flee Hurricane Rita, which has grown into a Category 4 storm, the same strength as Hurricane Katrina, which devastated parts of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama last month.
With Rita today headed for Texas, Houston Mayor Bill White urged people in flood-prone areas of the city to evacuate. US President Bush urged residents to heed the mayor's call.
Emergency officials said as many as one million people may attempt to leave.
The hurricane is expected to make landfall by the end of week in the Galveston area, just to the southeast of Houston, the scene of America's worst hurricane disaster in 1900, when at least 8,000 people died.
"Hurricane Rita on its present course poses a risk to Houston and the whole Houston region," said Houston Mayor Bill White.
"We are asking all residents in the greater Houston area that are in the storm surge area for a hurricane of this force and above to begin making their evacuation plans," he said.
Rita is now a Category 4 hurricane and the US Hurricane Center said it could become Category 5, the maximum, as it crosses the Gulf.
If Rita makes landfall as expected it could cause significant flooding in areas more than 50kms inland when the anticipated storm surge rushes through Galveston Bay and along the Houston Ship Channel, emergency officials said.
White urged those who did not have the means to evacuate themselves to arrange with friends or neighbors to get out. He said if that was not possible, people should contact emergency numbers to get help from the authorities.
But he warned: "There will not be enough government vehicles to go and evacuate people in all the areas."
"This is a big storm and it's going to have an impact along the entire coast," US Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff told Fox News.
Rita's winds increased to 140mph (225kph) as it headed into the Gulf of Mexico after lashing the Florida Keys on yesterday. The storm did not get close enough to reach the vulnerable chain of islands with its most destructive forces.
Rita could reach the maximum Category 5 in the central Gulf then weaken slightly as it moved west. It was expected to make landfall "as a major hurricane ... at least Category 3," the National Hurricane Center said.
The intensified storm sparked concern in financial markets that the new storm could wreak as much damage as Katrina's assault on the US Gulf Coast last month.
Chertoff said authorities had positioned supplies, begun making preparations for the early evacuation of people in nursing homes and hospitals and were checking on communications systems. He said the federal government had sent a Coast Guard admiral to Texas to coordinate the response.
"I hope that by doing what the state officials and mayors are doing now, are getting people who are invalids out of the way, encouraging people to leave early, that when the storm hits, there will be property damage but hopefully there won't be a lot of people to rescue," Chertoff told MSNBC.
Louisiana declared a state of emergency and New Orleans, 80 percent of which was flooded when Katrina shattered its protective levees, was taking no chances. Mayor Ray Nagin said two busloads of people had been evacuated already and 500 other buses were ready.
About 1100 Hurricane Katrina evacuees still in Houston's two mass shelters faced another evacuation as the city found itself in Rita's possible path. They were being sent to Fort Chaffee, Arkansas.
"The conditions over the central Gulf are much like they were for Katrina," hurricane center deputy director Ed Rappaport told CNN.
A major hurricane could send a 20-foot (6-metre) storm surge over the Texas coast by Saturday.
Oil companies just starting to recover from Katrina evacuated Gulf oil rigs as Rita moved toward major energy production areas.
The Navy began moving its remaining fleet of Katrina relief vessels, including the Iwo Jima, away from the Gulf Coast to ride out any potential battering from Rita.

The only ayam percik I remember having was from Ayamas, which is a chain selling various poultry products. Although it's been more than 10 years (?) since I last had a percik roaster, I can still remember the taste – it's super juicy and so flavourful. They also served really good honey chicken (not sure if the chicken still taste as good though). There's an outlet near where we lived, so we used to buy a whole bird at least once a week.
Ayam percik, which translates into "splash chicken" is believed to originate from Kelantan, a state in the northeast region of Peninsular Malaysia. It is chicken pieces marinated in a spicy coconut marinade made up of various spices like chillies, lemongrass, galangal, ginger and coconut milk. The chicken pieces are then cooked traditionally over a charcoal fire. When the chicken is grilling over fire, percik sauce is sprinkled or splashed (hence the name) on the chicken, such that the chicken gets coated with a pasty layer of smokey delicious sauce. It is slightly sweet with strong spicy coconuty flavours. I like mine on the sweeter side, so I added more sugar to taste. It is really simple to prepare, and so good with rice!
- 1 kg chicken legs (about 4 chicken legs)
For marinade:
- 2 stalks lemongrass
- 4 shallots
- 6 cloves garlic
- 1 inch galangal
- 3 fresh red chili – seeds removed
- 6 dried red chili – seeds removed
- 1 tsp tamarind paste – seeds removed
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 cup coconut milk (I used canned, not low fat)
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tbs brown sugar
- 1 spoon Knorr chicken powder
- Salt (to taste)
- Blend all ingredients for marinade in a food processor.
- Add seasonings to taste.
- Mix together blended mixture and chicken pieces and leave to marinade overnight.
- Preheat oven to 200ºC.
- Place chicken together with all the marinade in a baking dish. Cover baking dish with foil, roast for 30 mins.
- Remove foil, roast for a further 30 mins. Turn chicken over every now and then to ensure even browning.
- Broil for a few mins after that to thicken the gravy further and to get some charred bits.

SEO Specialist Needed For Two Websites -- 2
Presupuesto $30-250 USD
My client is looking for a SEO specialist that has a great track record for getting websites to rank very high in the SERPs. Do not bother applying for this job if you do not have a proven track record. Do not bother applying for this job if your websites ranked high only for a short period of time. Your websites must have ranked high in popular search engines like Google and Bing for over a year. When applying, give me the URL of websites you have worked on, the keywords (or key phrases) which those websites rank well for, how competitive those terms are, and if the person you did this for would be willing to be a reference for you. Automated bids that do not answer these basic things will be ignored. The websites we are looking to rank well for are [url removed, login to view] and [url removed, login to view] (which redirects to [url removed, login to view]) so I guess my client wants to rank well for the later. One concern of mine for the [url removed, login to view] website is this: how will it rank well for keywords and key phrases with the page having little content on the page? There are two buttons on the page which will branch out to pages with a lot of content. My client wants to keep this home page simple. My client wanted to add text of the same color as the background and I told him this would be a huge pitfall. How would you tackle this problem? This will be one issue of many that we will run into with the SEO specialist we select. The answer this question would help your chances of getting the bigger project but if you do not feel comfortable in answering that until you get the project, I will understand. At least submit what I asked for in the first part of the brief. NetDriverEd is going to be a huge project and there is money to be made here. It is a website that is going to be in development for about a year's worth of time. Throughout that year, we will keep calling on the SEO specialist we select. After the project is done, we will look to the SEO specialist to do external SEO work. We are focused on internal SEO for [url removed, login to view] at this time. Only bid on [url removed, login to view] at this time and we will go from there. Thanks!

Consumer Confidence Hits Record Low
- [ Ignore ]
Bloomberg is reporting consumer confidence has hit an all-time low or at least its lowest point since consumer sentiment has been tracked as an economic indicator, starting in 1967.
IMHO this is a huge contrarian indicator as the economy finds its floor. I expect the economy to have its worst performance in the first six months of 2009 since the awful recession of '73-'74. This may create the best investing environment in a generation (or longer).
The stock market is a fairly accurate leading economic indicator and tends to reflect economic growth six to nine months ahead of actual performance. The January reporting period will be rocky at best for the markets as bankruptcy filings grow, thousands of enterprises liquidate and acquisitions and consolidations become more common. Looking a year out from today, equities may be at their cheapest point in decades for investors.
The difference this time, and a difficult-to-quantify one, is the role of the media, and the speed at which bad news travel. The media have been using the most terrible headlines they could find for months, because they need to sell advertisement and they get more views with scary headlines.
The way this influences consumer sentiment is a new thing of our age.
Eighty years ago consumer sentiment would turn bad when people had problems with jobs and with buying what they needed. Today consumer sentiment turns bad because people are told so, very efficiently, with unprecedented visual directness on TV.
This does not mean that consumer sentiment should be ignored. A bad sentiment still should have a bad effect on spending. But IMHO its origins are different this time.

Of all the Halloween costumes in Jacksonville on Saturday, the scariest was by far the one in white on the field. That certainly bore little resemblance to the team we'd watched in awe the first seven games of the season. So props to Will Muschamp and the boys for getting into the holiday spirit a little early. We thought we'd follow suit with a special Halloween version of this week's poll post and a look back at the tricks and treats of 2012 so far.
Trick – Florida's performance in its first seven games
As much as we wanted to believe it, the Gators were nowhere near ready to compete for the SEC and BCS titles. The defense and special teams are championship caliber but no matter how good they are, you can't win without getting something from the third phase of the game. Despite the early season success running the ball, against LSU, South Carolina and Georgia, the Gators averaged 113 yards rushing, 2.3 yards per rush and 229 total yards.
Treat – Florida's performance in its first seven games
Entering November, Florida is 7-1. There isn't a Gator alive who thought Florida would be 7-1 at this point in the season. It doesn't matter how or why, the fact remains we've already surpassed our win total from the regular season last year and look like good bets to get to at least 10 wins. And that 3-1 October was just slightly better than the 1-7 in the past two years combined.
Trick – Brent Pease as Offensive Coordinator
I cannot stomach typing out those offensive numbers from the last three big games again. But I will add a few more. Pease said this week that he wants to run less on first down (runs on 78.1% on first down) but what about every other down? Did you realize that of Florida's 522 offensive snaps, 64% have been runs (that's removing the 26 sacks that technically count as runs). Pease has definitely brought a new look to the offense and early on, POWER and the read-option were more than enough to get the Gators a W. But opposing defenses have caught up and the lack of a credible passing attack has left the Gators predictable and impotent.
Treat – Brent Pease as Offensive Coordinator
After years of Charlie Weis and Steve Addazio, it wasn't going to take much for Gators fans to be happy. The pretty drives in big moments against Texas A&M, Tennessee and LSU and the ruthless efficiency in the red zone against South Carolina are far cries from Mississippi State in 2010 and Florida State in 2011.
Trick – Florida's SEC East hopes
Everyone knew the SEC East title was at stake on Saturday. Florida could have clinched the division with a win, and instead Georgia moved close to locking it up. Georgia's two remaining SEC games are against Ole Miss and Auburn, a combined 6-10 and 2-8 in conference.
Treat – Florida's SEC East hopes
Yes it is unlikely but Georgia faces an improving Rebels bunch this week and will have to deal with the emotional hangover from Jacksonville. Stranger things have happened.
Trick – Sam McCorkle's Posts
Claiming Jeff Driskel was going to take the next step and move toward joining some of the all-time greats at Florida? Without exaggeration, that goes down as one of the stupidest things I have ever thought or written. When Driskel made the fatal mistake of throwing late across the field into the endzone at the end of the first half, a small part of my soul died. You could see the play coming, you could see him looking for a way to turn it over for a fourth time in the half and then boom, there it was. Chilling.
Treat – Sam McCorkle's Posts
As the only regular writer for the site, without my posts, we'd be nothing more than a twitter feed with lame jokes and re-tweets. You're welcome.
Trick – Florida's Defense
Penalties. Plain and simple. If Florida could line up onside, make plays and head back to the huddle or sidelines without taunting, keep their hits clean, they might be the best defense in the country.
Treat – Florida's Defense
The Gators are 4th in scoring defense and 6th in total defense in the country. They will undoubtedly place one on most All-American teams (Matt Elam) for the first time since 2009. And although they are likely to lose as many as six starters from this squad, the depth is impressive and big-time playmakers await in Dante Fowler, Antonio Morrison and Michael Taylor.
Enjoy your Halloween, hope to see lots of Will Muschamp Stares and Jeff Driskel/Tarin Moses couples costume pics on Twitter. Here's this week's rankings:
1. Alabama
2. Kansas State
3. Notre Dame
4. Oregon
6. Florida
7. Georgia
8. Florida State
9. South Carolina
10. Ohio State
11. Louisville
12. Oregon State
13. Clemson
14. Texas A&M
15. Stanford
16. Oklahoma
17. Mississippi State
18. Nebraska
19. Southern Cal
20. Texas Tech
21. West Virginia
22. Louisiana Tech
24. Boise State
25. Texas

The $A was bruised on Thursday after US Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke underlined the uncertain economic outlook, sending stock markets and high yielding currencies down.
The Australian dollar was down to around $0.8758 compared with Wednesday's late local level of $0.8840, having traded a $0.8762/8860 range offshore. The Aussie, which is still up about 1.5 percent from Monday's $0.8631 low, has support around $0.8760 and $0.8711, with very strong resistance now in the $0.8860/8870 area.
With US and European markets entrenched in thin trade amid the summer lull, the Australian dollar is likely to hug the narrow of range $0.8600 and $0.8800 for awhile, analysts said.
A business survey showed Australian business conditions softened last quarter although business investment remained solidly upbeat, with a surge in employment and hours worked marking a sharp rise in production.
Bias for the kiwi seen to the downside with initial base around $0.7100 level, below which $0.7081 supports. Resistance seen at $0.7196 area, the high on Wednesday.
Bernanke cast a pall over markets after he said the Fed was ready to take further action to support the U.S. economy but stopped short of giving any option or details. Bernanke also noted that the economic outlook was "unusually uncertain".
US Treasuries were snapped up, while US stocks, commodities and higher yielding assets like the Aussie and kiwi were dumped for safe havens after Bernanke.
The Aussie slipped about 0.5 percent against the yen to trade at around ¥75.79. But the Aussie retained recent gains against the kiwi, holding around NZ$1.2314.

Trial of Elder Israel Dammon: A look into early Adventist meetings
There is nothing better than to read the first hand accounts of witness to events. Original sources help to eliminate the possibility of misquoting or misinterpretation and allows the reader to see and judge for themselves the events as close as possible to when they transpired.
Many of us are aware how Seventh-Day Adventism loves to romanticizes and fabricate lore about its early leaders and especially their disobedience to the Lord's command not to set times of when He would return. Rather than disavowing their false prophetess claim and subsequent cover up attempts, it calls her disobedience the "The Great Disappointment". However in this day and age thanks to the Internet we can actually find images of news articles and read first hand of their depravity and the harm they caused many people. See The Birth of Adventism, the not so Great Disappointment (Captured in the Newspapers)
In this particular post we get a good look at one of the most infamous trials that revolved around the early Adventist group meetings. The descriptions of the events show that it took on the fervor or modern charismatic movements and swingers style soirees!
What the reader will find interesting is the court's sworn witnesses testimonies of an 18 year old Ellen Harmon involved in these meetings already claiming to have visions and also justifying her damning of certain meeting attendees whom she did not like. We also read about James White and other men, some of who would go into a back bedroom with other women to help them "exercise".
Here attached is a copy of the original "Trial of Elder Israel Dammon" that SDA cult probably wished was lost forever. You can only find it online as a transcript but I was able to obtain a copy of the original paper it from a University in Maine Orono and give it here as Public Domain material.

Ben Carson, Adventism and their Prophetess' Prophetic Visions on Israel
Image Posted on Updated on
Two interesting quotes I have encountered from Seventh-Day Adventism. Quote's citations are included.
With Dr. Ben Carson–who is a Seventh-Day Adventist–is running for the office of POTUS these teachings have me raising my eyebrows. With the situation being explosive in the Middle East between Hamas and Israel what is–
- Dr. Carson's position and view on Israel?
- Specifically what does he see as the significance/importance of the Israeli and the US relationship both politically AND religiously?
- Does he believe these statements to be in error?
- Why hasn't the US Press begun to ask Ben these questions?
One might be tempted to dismiss these things as isolated quotes that are on the fringe. All more the reason to simply ask the poignant questions.
"I was pointed to some who are in the great error of believing that it is their duty to go to Old Jerusalem; and think they have a work to do there before the Lord comes. . . . I saw that Satan had greatly deceived some in this thing. . . . I also saw that Old Jerusalem never would be built up; and Satan was doing his utmost to lead the minds of the children of the Lord into these things now in the gathering time. . . ." — EGW, Early Writings Page 75
"[Jews] as a people, they have long ceased to have any significance. For the same reason, Palestine will never become the home of the Jews; there would be no purpose in it." –H. Brown, Signs of the Times, November 7, 1939, Page 7.
Why Christians go to church on Sunday
Video Posted on Updated on
J. Mark Martin is the Senior Pastor of Calvary Community Church, a grace oriented fellowship of over 12,000 believers located in Phoenix, Arizona. Pastor Mark grew up in Medford, Oregon, and later attended college in Northern California at Pacific Union College where he graduated with a B.A. in theology. While attending college, he met his wife to be, Leslie, and they now have three children. Pastor Mark has been teaching God's grace for over 25 years.
Pastor Mark was raised a Seventh-day Adventist, a legalistic denomination that emphasizes salvation by works and absolute adherence to the doctrines of their false prophetess. Mark started pastoring during college and was forced to resign when he began to teach the grace of God. Mark's experience under legalism gives his ministry a unique emphasis on the love and grace of God, which is demonstrated by Jesus' death on the cross for our sins.
Ben Carson's prophetess and religion teaches his cult will be persecuted by those who don't attend church on Saturday.
Video Posted on Updated on
With an estimated 118 million Christians who attend church on Sunday how should we look at a possible Seventh-Day Adventist President? It's interesting that Ben Carson chose to speak on this issue in Australia and not in the United States.
In the last US Presidential Election, Mitt Romney a Mormon was questioned about his religion. In the eyes of many Evangelical Christians, Mormonism is viewed as a cult. Like Mormonism, Seventh-Day Adventism has its share of cultic issues–
- A Prophetess, who is believed to be inspired by God, it also
- published and sells its version of a Bible called the "Clear Word",
- has several non-Orthodox teachings that one will not find support for in Scripture and
- has a replacement theology regarding the Jews and Israel, which is problematic in a time like this with Israel as America's closest Middle East ally.
One of these teachings is about the US and The National Sunday Law. According to Seventh-Day Adventists, when the US enacts this law it will become criminal to go to church on Saturday–which is what devotees of Seventh-Day Adventism choose to do. Will the US National Press ask Ben Carson about his belief on these issues?
Based on the visions of their Prophetess Ellen G White Adventism teaches that the Roman Catholic Pope changed Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday, and all those who worship on Sunday will have the Mark of the Beast. Something that is widely understood among members of the cult but not openly discussed with outsiders is the cult's belief that Christians (those who go to church on Sunday) will eventually kill and murder Seventh-Day Adventists over their choice to go to church on Saturday.
See my Post, "Will Christians really kill Adventists over the Sabbath?"
One should ask if this is the worldview that is held by a possible Candidate for the Office of the President of the United States what will he do to–
- Create as reality a National Sunday Law or
- Try to prevent any religious laws that would protect the share of the 118 Million Christians within the US borders?
- If a President believes that Christians will one day try to kill him and his fellow cult members over their choice of going to church on Saturday will paranoia play a part of the
- reason for laws or
- decisions from the White House?
Seventh-Day Adventism believes the Roman Catholic claim of authority to change Shabbat!
Image Posted on Updated on
Isn't it interesting when you realize that no other group of people denounces the Roman Catholics more strongly than does Seventh-Day Adventism? She pronounces them as deceivers, false teachers, perverters of history. As for
all the claims of the Roman Catholics she repudiates them as worthless. Ahh but there is one claim that Seventh-Day Adventism simply cherishes and has made it the saddle of her prize hobby-horse. that is the Roman Catholic Claim that it had the authority to change Sabbath.
What a stark contrast to everything Adventism says about the Roman Catholics. This claim Adventism holds up proudly, she publishes it to the world better than the Roman Catholics themselves. Adventism happily accepts the Roman Catholic's mere assertion that it had the authority do it and to Adventism, well it settles the question beyond dispute. Isn't that interesting?
Notice that the Roman Catholics offer no proof to support their claim that they had the authority to change the day other then its assertion that they did and left it there. At this point, Adventism gladly accepts this claim without any other proof! Well, then we should ask which other claims does Adventism also swallow hook, line and sinker.
Consider these other claims made by The Roman Catholic Church:
- The Roman Catholic Church is the only true Church.
- St. Peter was the first Pope of the Holy Catholic Church.
- The present Pope of Rome is the lineal divinely appointed successor of St. Peter.
- The Pope of Rome is the Vicar of Jesus Christ upon earth.
- The Pope is infallible.
- The Pope holds the keys to heaven.
- All, including Adventists, outside of the Catholic Church are heretics.
- Protestants are indebted to Catholics for the Holy Scriptures as it is given to them.
- Catholic priests have the authority to forgive sins.
- The Roman Catholic Church changed the Sabbath from the seventh day to Sunday, the first day.
The Roman Catholic Church strongly claims all these ten items. What does Seventh-Day Adventism say to these assertions? She quickly denies all the first nine; she call them all lies, she is clear to say they Roman Catholics' claim is without any foundation in fact. But then why is it when she comes to the tenth one, regarding the change of the Sabbath, Adventism fall over itself to accept every word of this as the infallible truth? Concerning this one claim, Adventism says, "It settles the question beyond dispute. See the Catholic Church is owning up to it which proves it did really do the job!!
Consider this illustration: Adventists bring their chief witness into court. But when he is sworn they acknowledge that nine-tenths of his testimony is a lie, it is perjury. But wait that one-tenth of what their witness swears to is TRUE. Unbelievably on this claim they rest their case believing them have won their case! Selah!
Any judge would quickly throw out of a court such testimony as worthless, yet this is the witness, and THE ONLY witness, Adventists can produce saying that the Roman Church changed the Sabbath. See any of their publications on this point.
How quickly Adventism teaches it members and those gullible enough to be absent themselves from critical thought that this is a rational and acceptable way of discerning the truth.

The Gospel: A 4 Point Primer for Seventh-Day Adventists
Image Posted on Updated on
In talking with many Seventh-Day Adventists and looking back at my upbringing I have surmised most of us were full of the Great Controversy (SDA Gospel), The Three Angels Message, Ellen G White, the Sabbath and Law, and we even learned Daniel & Revelation Symbols. We did this ALL even before understanding WHAT IS THE GOSPEL! Ask an Adventist what it is that the Apostles preached to the lost and you will get blank stares or even ridicule. But let's honestly assume none of us as Seventh-Day Adventists truly heard The Gospel. Well, let's change that! Here is THAT GOOD NEWS!
There is ONLY ONE GOSPEL. If you have not yet received the Gospel of Jesus Christ, it is this–
- We are ALL accountable to God, "for the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men. Romans 1:18 (NASB)
- We are all already indicted and convicted by The Righteous God, "we have already charged that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin. As it is written, "There is none righteous, not even one;" Romans 3:9-19 (NASB)
- However, there is a way out. It is faith in Jesus Christ ONLY not the Sabbath, not our ability or hope we can keep The Law, or belonging to Seventh-Day Adventism [all nonsense]. Rather Scripture says, "But now apart from the Law the righteousness of God has been manifested. . . Through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe we are . . . Justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus" Romans 3:21-24 (NASB)
- You, we, all who Believe in Jesus as the Savior, our PERSONAL savior can be included, "But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness," Romans 4:5 (NASB)
There is NO Mention of the worshipping Saturday or trying hard to keep it. Jesus ALREADY KEPT IT ALL, and He kept it perfectly, He kept all the LAW! Not just one law or four laws or Ten Laws, NO HE KEPT ALL the LAW PERFECTLY for those who believe in Him. This is the Gospel it is GOOD NEWS for those who believe and receive His Truth.
Adventist you don't have to wallow in concern that you THINK you have lived a life that was good enough or HOPE you will enter Heaven. You can KNOW you are SAVED (1 John 5:11-12), quit living for the LAW and falling short. Accept Christ's finished work of fulfilling the requirements of Law as your righteousness, why? Because Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes (Romans 10:4). There are no if's, but's or what abouts, It is what was written. No man can judge you, NO MAN!
John 5:16-24 New American Standard Bible
For this reason the Jews were persecuting Jesus, because He was doing these things on the Sabbath. But He answered them, "My Father is working until now, and I Myself am working." For this reason therefore the Jews were seeking all the more to kill Him, because He not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.
Therefore Jesus answered and was saying to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in like manner. For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself is doing; and the Father will show Him greater works than these, so that you will marvel. For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom He wishes. For not even the Father judges anyone, but He has given all judgment to the Son, so that all will honor the Son even as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him."
"Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life."
Faith Story: Elaina Matthews' Testimony
Video Posted on
Elaina Matthews grew up in a multi-generational, conservative Seventh-day Adventist family. She was homeschooled through many of her grade school years and also attended Daystar Christian School, an Adventist elementary school in Pueblo, Colorado. She graduated from Campion Academy, an Adventist boarding high school. After discovering that she would not be able to afford to attend an Adventist college, she moved to Lincoln, Nebraska, so that she could attend a university near an Adventist college. While there, she began to read her Bible without also reading Ellen White, and for the first time discovered that what she had been taught growing up Adventist did not agree with the Bible. Laini met and fell in love with the true Jesus of the Bible and became a Christian, leaving the Adventist church at the age of 21. She still lives in Lincoln, Nebraska, and will soon return to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln to finish her bachelor's degree in vocal music. She sings in the chorus at Opera Omaha and has a passion for music. Her church home is Lincoln Berean Church, and she also participates in the music ministry at Eastridge Presbyterian Church. Laini started a ministry for Adventist young adults in conjunction with Life Assurance Ministries that is a spin-off from their Bible Studies for Adventists website. Bible Studies for Adventists: Young Adults is an open Facebook group that seeks to compare what is taught in the Collegiate Quarterly with Scripture. Laini writes commentaries on the Collegiate Quarterly material and moderates the group.

A Napier pensioner has asked New Zealand's wealthiest man, billionaire Graeme Hart, to spare a few days' worth of his gathering interest to help pay a medical bill.
But even though Colin Claypole says he's had a couple of health issues of his own in the past, he doesn't want the money for himself.
He wants help for Napier woman Jacqui Scott, who is trying to raise the money she needs to get crucial surgery in the United States to remove two surgical meshes.
More than $53,000 has been raised but she still needs to find about $84,000.
Ms Scott said she was fitted with the meshes after an attack and rape at her home in 2005, but a year later began to notice debilitating pain.
The symptoms worsened to include a compromised immune system, bouts of shingles, teeth and hair loss, severe depression and incontinence.
One of the devices causing problems was a Prolift Total Pelvic Floor Repair System, the biggest to be made, and no one in New Zealand was qualified to extract it.
She needed to travel to the US to have it done, but needed the money up front and despite generous donations and fundraising from businesses and individuals was still well short.
When Mr Claypole read of her dilemma he shook his head.
"I don't know her but I really felt for her," he said.
Then he read of Mr Hart's wealth of $8.36 billion.
"It's hard to get your head around that sort of figure - it's a ridiculous amount and if I had that sort of money I'd step in."
He said as a pensioner in his 80th year he pretty well had to get by week by week. Therefore, he was not in a position to help out.
Apart from a cancer removal in 2001 and a "crook knee" he was in quite good shape: "I'm pretty fit."
Hearing of someone "suffering" like Ms Scott had saddened him and prompted him to write an open letter to the billionaire.
"I hope Mr Hart gets to see it - but then in a case like this he shouldn't need any prompting to do something."
But Mr Claypole might be able to help out next week ... if luck runs his way. "I'll check my bonus bonds to see if I've won a million" - if so, he could head back to England to see family (he's been in the Bay since 1979) and write Ms Scott a cheque.
Mr Hart could not be reached for comment.

Description of Research ExpertiseDr. Cormode's research focuses on the development of novel and multifunctional nanoparticle contrast agents for medical imaging applications. A current major area is the development of gold and bismuth nanoparticles as contrast agents for computed tomography (CT). The nanoparticles can be further modified to have a variety of additional functional properties, such as fluorescence, MRI contrast or therapeutic effects. Related areas of interest are novel computed tomography-based imaging methods, such as dual energy CT, spectral CT and iterative image reconstruction. These technologies are being applied for structural imaging and molecular imaging of the levels of specific cell types and proteins in vivo. These approaches provide enhanced characterization of cardiovascular diseases and cancers, which should allow improved selection of therapies and monitoring of response to treatments.
Undergraduates and master's students, as well as prospective graduate students and postdoctoral fellows are encouraged to email Dr. Cormode if interested in working in our lab.
