The aim of this course is to teach you about certain aspects of atomic and optical physics that, when taken as a whole, will amount to a body of knowledge that is not only relevant, but is still a very active area of research around the world. We are going to use your knowledge of quantum mechanics that you have acquired, and are still acquiring, to learn about atomic and optical physics (or more precisely – atom-light interactions) because is AOP is QM in action. Conceptually "construct" an atomic clock and use the example of such a device, and the precision measurement of time, as a learning tool.

Home › Forums › Campfire › Pre-Trip Planning › Best City for a Fly-in 48 (or 72) Hour Mountain Hike?
Jul 28, 2012 at 8:39 pm #1292422
I live in Orlando (obviously) and my hikes are either local (and thus flat) or long drives with lots of planning, usually to the AT. I am trying to figure out an alternative type of trip to speckle in the year where I can fly out after work on Friday, get on the trail in some majestic mountains before sunset and then fly back out on Sunday and get home late. I have researched direct flights and proximity to the trails and Denver seems to be a compelling choice. I'm interested to know other recommendations. Realistically, I may need to stretch it out by flying out Thursday. Any other cities come to mind? I'll also need to figure out a rental or shuttle and then a place to wash up before I get to the airport. Denver appears to have nearly endless trails within an hour of the airport.
I've checked out Fresno as well, but it requires a connection, and is a lot flying. I am also open to the northeast, but I don't pick up time zones on the flight out.
Having recently read Jeremy's article, this could be part of my strategy to balance family, career and BPing.Jul 28, 2012 at 9:09 pm #1898324

@lotuseaterLocale: Colorado
If you're spending the $$$ to fly, then rent a car. Shuttles will get you to urban areas, but you'll waste valuable time getting to and from the trailheads. Speaking of which, plan in 2 hours between DIA and trailheads in Indian Peaks or Rocky Mountain NP; maybe a little less to THs nearer Denver proper.
Second consideration is flight availability – how early would you have to be off the trail to make a 5pm MT flight? There aren't many flights to the east coast later than that from Denver, and only a handful of red eyes. Make it easier on yourself by planning Monday as a travel day if you can, so you get all of Sunday on the trail.
Finally, what experience do you have hiking at altitude? Acclimatisation takes a while for most. I witnessed it recently when a friend – an experienced hiker – came out from sea level. We hit the trail 12 hours after he arrived, and we had to scrub our planned route as 11000ft and 80F was too much too soon.Jul 28, 2012 at 11:19 pm #1898335

@saparisorLocale: Pacific Northwest
Seattle: rent a car and drive to Olympic NP (entry along the east/Hood Canal), Mt. Rainier NP (a loop in the northwest part of the park), Alpine Lakes Wilderness (from Stevens or Snoqualmie Pass). I'm sure there are ways to use public transportation to Rainier and Olympic, but these parks are big and you would use up a lot of time in transit. However, taking a ferry across Puget Sound is a nice way to see the area.
Portland: rent a car and drive to the Columbia Gorge (Eagle Creek TH is only 30-40 minutes from the airport), Mt. St. Helens (in WA but closer to Portland), Mt. Hood, Three Sisters Wilderness (maybe a little too far for a long weekend with travel).Jul 28, 2012 at 11:59 pm #1898338

@leaftyeLocale: SoCal
Fly to Palm Springs, take the tram up Mt San Jacinto. A hike around the mountain in a weekend sounds about right.Aug 3, 2012 at 7:24 pm #1900003
For Pacific NW and SoCal I want to stretch into longer trips. It looks like a connection is needed for most of those flights. Good point on the altitude, I haven't had trouble in the past, but I've haven't spent more than a few hours above 10,000 feet at a time. Although peak bagging would be fun, I would be just fine roving around the lower elevations.
I'm also checking into Mancheser, NH as an East Coast option, looks like the is a direct flight that works within my timeframe.
Good point in transportation, will stick with rental cars.Aug 3, 2012 at 8:49 pm #1900019

Kalispell, Montana. You'll be 45 minutes from Glacier National Park and the Bob Marshall Wilderness. Check out Dave Chenault's recent article on Glacier and the Bob for starters.Aug 3, 2012 at 9:02 pm #1900021
I have been reading for years with envy about Glacier and Bob Marshall. It looks like I could leave after work on a Thursay, get on the trail early Friday and camp closer to the car on Saturday to get to a noon flight out on Sunday. Connection in Salt Lake does make it a long travel day. I'll just make sure to download another season of The Wire before the trip.
I have been thinking of many of the above mentioned spots as once-in-a-lifers, but may be able to change my thinking a bit.Aug 3, 2012 at 9:08 pm #1900024

SLC is a good option for lots of types of hiking.Aug 5, 2012 at 5:55 pm #1900465
Good call on SLC, I didn't realize the Wasatch range 1) had so much to offer and 2) was literally at the edge of town in Salt Lake City / Provo. This appears to be even more convenient than Denver and the flights work out nicely with directs. I am pondering an early November weekend trip.Aug 6, 2012 at 12:09 am #1900536

@djpfiveLocale: Arizona
In early November, you could go south from SLC for canyon hiking–good time of year for that. Much of it less than 4 hours from the airport.Aug 19, 2012 at 8:35 pm #1904045
Thanks to everyone for the ideas. I have a flight booked for SLC early next month for a two nighter in Big Cottonwood Canyon. All pics and vids look pretty amazing, particulalrly for this east coaster. hopefully the first of many forays like this. Trip report to come.Aug 21, 2012 at 12:01 am #1904441

@abrown3mtgLocale: High Rockies
Fly into Pitken (Aspen) airport. The maroon bells/four pass loop is literally about ~15 minutes from the airport..
Option b.) Fly into Eagle/Vail. More options than I can count within a half hour :-).
I'd check the lost creek wilderness/goose creek trail. About an hour from denver if you went that route with great spots right by the trail head for day 1.Aug 26, 2012 at 7:06 pm #1906285

@tjaardLocale: Minnesota, USA
Thanks for this idea, it's a great plan, i will give it a shot.
For this to work though, you almost have to be able to get a direct flight.
Another option for a few people (in the midwest) is Amtrak. Slow, but if you can take an overnight train you can use that night for travel. The train also comes much closer into the mountains. (Glacier for example and some cool stuff in Colorado that I know of.
What about Las Vegas. Cheap to fly to from anywehre in the world and easy acces to some cool outdoor landscapes.Aug 26, 2012 at 8:22 pm #1906310

@rcmikeLocale: California
If you are going to fly somewhere, maybe you can hook up with someone locally who would want to hike with you. They get a hiking partner and you get a ride to/from the trailhead. Win-win. I, for example live in Southern California and would be willing to pick someone up and head out for a trip as long as I had enough advance notice and could work it into my schedule.
MikeAug 26, 2012 at 9:01 pm #1906317
As a matter of fact any Wasatch Hikers are welcomed to join from 9/7 to 9/9. Just shoot me a message. I actually have another buddy coming with me as well. Through guide books and websites we landed on hiking into Lake Blanche the first day, then make our way over Dromedary Peak (or the ridge if that is too sketchy) down into Broads Fork for the next night. We plan to hit REI for fuel on the way to the trail and then the Flying J for a shower before getting back on the plane. So for the ticket price of $300 we are going to go from downtown Orlando to an 8000ft cirque in roughly 9 hours (including hike time).
Additional trail beta welcomed!
I like the Maroon Bells idea for a future trip. SoCal and Vegas are other good choices. Although in researching this SLC trip I am amazed at all of the possibilities including Moab.
Also, if any of you want to hike the Ocala section of the Florida Trail, I would make the same offer to you. It is a good winter trip.Sep 11, 2012 at 8:12 pm #1911445
The first 48 hour fly in hike was a success! I'll post more on post trip, but we were on the trail by 1pm on Friday (after fuel stop at REI, and lunch stop at Cafe Rio), were at the campsite on Lake Lillian by 5pm and back at SLC by 3 on Sunday. It was late Sunday night, but worth it to hike in the Wasatch Range for the first time while only missing one day of work and 3 days away from the family.
On plane I caught 5 episodes of The Wire season 4 and started reading Joseph Campbell for the first time.Sep 14, 2012 at 9:28 am #1912201

As an adopted Californian, currently stranded on the island of Manhattan, I've done research on this very question, as when we moved here, I negotiated one trip a year back to the West Coast.
Based on your time frame, though, the West Coast may just not work. I've flown into Reno once a year for the last three years. That three hour time change plus a connection is a killer. I have to leave on Saturday morning to arrive by 3-4pm, and then fly out by noon to be back in NYC by midnight on my return.
In theory, I could do a 72 and change hour trip by taking Friday off work, leaving in the early AM(8-10am), arriving in Reno between 3-5pm, taking a shuttle to South Lake Tahoe, Tahoe City, or Truckee (60-90 minutes) and then a cab to a trailhead, or walk onto the Tahoe Rim Trail in Tahoe City. Renting a car shortens that process, and would make it easier to stop at a sporting goods store to pick up a fuel canister, if you don't want to go no-cook. In the summer I'd have a couple hours of daylight to hit the trail and find a campsite before dark. Then I'd have Saturday, and most of the day on Sunday before catching a 7pm red-eye back to NYC, arriving at between 5-6am, getting home at 7am to shower before heading to work by 8am. And of course there'd be the need to shower or wash up somehow before boarding that red-eye. I could also take a half-day off on Friday, catch a 4pm flight and be in Reno by 10pm, stay at a hotel and start early Saturday.
A quick look at Kayak, and it looks like you could do about the same thing. If you rise really early, there are pre-7am flights that get you into Reno before noon. I just worry about forgetting something trying to leave that early.
And any flight delay messes up plans significantly.
I've done research on a lot of other place, Reno being the only one I have personal experience, with, but I'm looking at a 6-10 day time-frame, not 48-72 hours.

Chapter 6Mature
"What do you want?" she asked.
"Stay here a minute. Let everyone else go on."
"I want to talk to you."
"Shouldn't you be doing some work? Or, whatever it is you do here."
"Two minutes. That's it."
John and Ellie watched the rest of the cast walk into another large building, and then he lightly took hold of her arm and led her into the canteen.
"Right, I need to apologise."
"What for?"
"Me and Claire."
"It's your pregnant wife you need to apologise to – not me."
"You know I'm married?"
"Oh yes. Why are you surprised? Did you not want me knowing?"
"No, I don't care if you know."
"Good, because I'm not being taken for a fool. I knew you were a bit of a prick before today, but stupidly I was fooled by your fancy car and your knight-in-shining armour routine. Now though, I know I was completely right about you in the first place."
"What you saw this morning was really me. But, I don't want people to see me like that. You're the only person, other than my wife, to know."
"I'm not falling for it again."
"Why would I lie?"
"Why wouldn't you?"
"Because I like you. Look, I know you felt it earlier too. There was something – some connection."
"So what if there was?"
"We can't just ignore it."
"Yes, we can. You're married and have a baby on the way. I have a connection to chocolate – doesn't mean I eat it all the time. People always feel they have a 'connection' to something or someone, and hardly anyone acts on it, so why should we?"
"You're saying you felt it too?"
"Well, yes and –" Ellie was stopped by John kissing her. At first she tried to push him away, but gave in and let herself relax.
Then, there was a loud voice calling their names. They broke away from each other, just before the voice reached them. It was Scott, who was surprised to find both John and Ellie.
"There you two are. We were all wondering where you were."
"Sorry, Scott, I lost my script and asked Ellie to help me find it."
Scott narrowed his eyes, suspiciously. "Hmm. Well, you better hurry up. We're already hours behind schedule."
John walked out of the canteen, followed by Ellie and Scott.
"I hope you weren't doing what I think you were, El." Scott quietly said.
"Whatever do you mean?"
"I knew something would happen."
"Nothing has happened. He'd just lost his script."
"Promise me it won't go any further."
Ellie conceded. "I promise."
"It'll only end in tears. I don't want to see you hurt – not again."
Ellie didn't reply. Instead she found herself thinking 'nothing can be as bad as then.'

(NYSE: THO) today announced preliminary sales from continuing operations, as well as continued strong year-over-year growth in the Company's backlog, for the fourth quarter and full year ended July 31, 2014. Preliminary consolidated sales from continuing operations in the fourth quarter were $1.04 billion, up 14% from $914.0 million in the fourth quarter last year. Towable RV sales for the fourth quarter were $825.5 million, up 11% from $745.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. Motorized RV sales in the fourth quarter increased 29% to $217.5 million from $168.2 million in the same quarter a year ago. For the full year ended July 31, 2014, preliminary consolidated sales from continuing operations were $3.53 billion, up 9% from $3.24 billion last year. Towable RV sales for the year were $2.72 billion, which was up 3% compared to $2.65 billion last year. Motorized RV sales rose 36% to $803.5 million from $591.5 million last year. Consolidated backlog on July 31, 2014 was $538.1 million, up 22% from $441.5 million at July 31, 2013.

Thor's preliminary sales results and backlog for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 included a full quarter impact of the acquisition of K-Z, which was completed on May 1, 2014. Thor's fourth-quarter results will include the required purchase price accounting for the K-Z transaction. "We are pleased with the progress we've made in the fourth quarter and fiscal year as we've continued to execute our operational plans, consolidated facilities and began to integrate our acquisition of K-Z, resulting in another strong quarter of sales for Thor," said Bob Martin, Thor President and CEO. "With the actions we have taken in the past year, we have incurred some short term financial costs, but the result is a strong base on which to build our long-term success. As we begin fiscal 2015, we are excited to showcase our new model year products at our upcoming Dealer Open House to be held in Elkhart next month, which we expect will provide a positive start to the fiscal year," he added. Thor expects to report its fourth-quarter operating results on September 25, 2014.

They're Watching Us… Why?
The last time I bought my cigars at Rite-Aid, the clerk had to give me some kind of disclaimer. "Other than a waste of paper," I asked, "what's this?" "We have to give one to every customer who buys a tobacco product," the clerk explained. "See? There's a camera up there, so they can check." And sure enough, there was the surveillance camera.
Today when I went in, I had to give my date of birth. Apparently my grey hairs are not enough to prove I'm of age to have a cigar. I complained about that. "As of next week," said the clerk, "you'll have to show us your ID, too." But of course it would be wrong, wrong, wrong to ask me to show ID before I can vote on who ought to be president.
I'm losing patience with this. Are they keeping a database on everyone who smokes? How many different databases do they have, for how many different categories of people? Does there have to be a camera peering at us wherever we go?
"Oh, but it serves you right! Because you're a smoker, and smoking is a dirty habit, and unhealthy, and now that the government is taking over health care, we don't want to be wasting public money on you dirty no-good smokers!"
Hey, you poor dopes out there who think you're going to be given a free pass for your vices, whatever they might be–don't get too comfy, because your turn will come. Today they're monitoring the smokers, so they'll know who to throw into the camps when the time comes. But they'll get around to you over-eaters, under-eaters, sugar freaks, couch potatoes.
The only freedom our ruling experts intend to leave us is the license to fornicate without restriction.
Not because they want us to have fun, but because they want us to be as immoral as they are.

Luther may be done with life, but life has other plans in store for Luther.
Inspired by Ben Brand
"Dear Luther,
Thank you for your application. You have not been shortlisted for the role.
Due to the high number of applications received, we are unable to offer individual feedback except to say it is about having the right mix of skills and experience.
We wish you success in your career.
Warm regards,
Luther stared despondently at the screen before him which stared right back. He could swear that it was sneering at him through those words of rejection. He shut his laptop screen and diverted his eyes towards the window of his high-rise apartment, just in time for a pigeon to fly past, squirting its faecal matter against the glass pane.
He felt a snicker as the window stared back at him; its glass stained with fresh faeces. He shook his head, reminding himself "You are anthropomorphising again Luther…"At that moment, the words of his psychologist ran through his head, "Do not let negativity perpetuate itself, breed dissatisfaction and clutter the mind."Luther let out a sigh and replied quietly in his head "Easy for you to say Dr King."
Luther Dixon was a middle aged man, heavy around the waist with limbs shorter than average. His disproportionate body was accompanied by a plump face which was naturally rosy around the cheeks. His glasses sat with conviction on the bridge of his flattened large nostrilled nose, with hazel bulgy eyes peering through the thick lens. On the rare occasion that Luther would be caught smiling, one would immediately notice his far from infectious smile, yellowing with braces laced around each crown. The last time he received a compliment about his appearance was when he was a wee child. That was many a decade ago and his mother was no longer around to provide such remarks to boost his self-confidence.
Life thus far had been unfair to Luther. At the age of ten, he was diagnosed with severe anxiety accompanied with depression. He had lost his job several months earlier and was receiving little luck with current employment prospects. The unemployed life was wearing thin on him.
Around the same time he was let go, his partner walked out on him, claiming that she had fallen in love with her canine companion. "We will be eloping to Columbus, Ohio. I'm done with you Luther." Luther understood that life could be cruel and uncanny, but could not fathom why his life had such a high libido. It would not cease to screw him -over and over.
He got up from his chair and walked towards the window. He was three levels from the rooftop of his building. Peering out, he noticed two lovers canoodling on a nearby park bench. After a moment of silent thought, he walked towards his apartment door, closing it gently behind him. With slumped shoulders and the weight of the world atop his cluttered mind, he made his way up the three flights of stairs.

Final decision
He woke several moments later unsure of how long he'd been asleep. Something was different. He was high above the ground in a cage made of claws. The earth was a blur around him as he started to struggle, but the claws of the dragon wouldn't budge. Titan was still strapped to his back, but the rope around his waist had been cut leaving it somewhere on the side of the mountain.
Then the earth vanished, replaced with the smooth, moist walls of a large cave. It was lit dimly by several small fires, like large torches, on each side. There was a faint golden glow about the room from the stacks and piles of gold and jewels in one of the corners. The claws released, dropping Frederik roughly on the hard floor. Jumping up instantly his battle experience kicked in. He opened his sense to the layout of his surrounding, ignoring it visually so he could concentrate on his enemy, a large black dragon. The dragon snarled as Frederik unsheathed Titan and swung wildly at the dragon's legs and throat.
"Whoa there, little vermin," the dragon roared as Titan nicked one of its knees, puffs of smoke rolling out of its nostrils. Lifting one of its legs, the dragon pinned Frederik firmly to the ground and knocking his sword across the room. "I am Eloric, Guardian of the Dragon's Gold. Why are you here?" his rumbling voice echoed off the walls.
"I am Sir Frederik of the King's army, sent here to kill you as punishment for treason. Now let me up and fight!" Frederik replied.
"Fight? Please, I am nearly five hundred years old. In fact, tomorrow is my five hundredth birthday! I am much too old to be wasting my energy fighting." Eloric growled as Frederik struggled.
"Then kill me you coward," Frederik shouted.
Eloric's scaly face rippled with thought then he removed his claw and placed it on top of Titan instead. "Why should I?" he asked.
"Because, you're a dragon, why wouldn't you?" Frederik said as he rose to his feet.
"You mean because I'm a dragon that makes me a ruthless killer? What about humans? Do they not kill us? Do they not kill each other for any reason other than to live? I kill only when my own life is threatened and I believe there is something inside you that truly doesn't want to kill me." Eloric concluded.
"I don't, but I have to! If I don't I can never see my family again!" Frederik stated, staring at his feet.
"Ah family, yet another reason we would all kill. I lost my mate ten years ago to a human. He assumed she was attacking while she was out hunting for deer. You may know him; these days he calls himself King Dominic. He felt my wrath for it and I left him alive, paranoid that someday I might return to finish him. He doesn't know and I suppose now he never will, but I did eventually forgive him," Eloric paused as a steaming tear splashed on the floor, "If I made you a deal that could spare us both, would you take it?"
"Anything to get back to my family," Frederik said.
Finally being allowed to relax his body, his age began to show as he slouched to the ground in a tired heap. Breathing heavily, more smoke rose from his nostrils as he spoke, "I've been waiting for a chance like this, the chance to have what so many other dragons are denied, a peaceful death."
"What do you mean?" Frederik asked.
"Would you rather die in battle or as an old man in his bed?" Eloric questioned. "Of course I already know the answer. Life isn't something that should be cut short by a blade. Life should be lived until the very end. No dragon has ever reached the age of five hundred and I intend to be the first, for I fear this might be my last night alive. My last act will be one of kindness. Take these scales," he said, handing Frederik three black disks, "and as much gold as you can carry. You must miss your family, so I'll speed you along your way and deliver you; you're armor and sword at the foot of the mountain." He lifted his foot and Frederik sheathed Titan on his back.
Confusion rang through Frederik's mind and all he could think to reply was, "Thank you."…
… Frederik spent the night at the mountain's base, listening to Elorics's barely audible growls and grumbles. As the sun rose the next morning the last puffs of smoke rose from the mouth of the cave. "Happy birthday Eloric," Frederik whispered. He shouldered his pack with the scales, gold, and his armor. With one last look up at the peak he turned and headed for home with the sword that was someday destined to belong to his son.

Drinking Problems
An expression of my fascination with staring into the abyss, whether it be at the bottom of a bottle or the back of the mind.
Soft, golden light glints from polished oak. A handful of slumped figures scattered solemnly around the room break up the backdrop of well loved leather and wood. Even the occasional smoker's cough is muted by the quiet that resides in the very late night and very early morning. A man stands with his back turned to a wall lined with the sweet, slow poisons sought by his broken patrons. The patrons don't seem to notice him, as though he were just another shadow cast by the hooded lights.
The door swings gently open, depositing another vestige of humanity into the gloom. It slinks morosely to the bar and sits. A drink appears before this new apparition. The man behind the bar moves in, close but not crowding. His voice is quiet but clear in the haze of the room.
There's an insecurity that binds all mankind. It started as a need to survive in a world populated by beasts and spirits better suited to meeting needs. The beasts had claws and fur and pointy teeth to hunt and kill and keep out the cold, while man just had thumbs and poorly protected vitals and those silly looking external genitals. I mean sure those thumbs come in handy but at the cost of getting your essentials caught on the odd jutting underbrush... that's a debatable trade. Man had to make a real, creative effort to survive while the beasts simply started with all the advantages they needed. Its bound to make a fella a little insecure. But it doesn't stop there. After Man had carved out a little niche it actually got worse.
The slumped form before him has sat up and stares, rapt and gob-struck by the unexpectedly loquacious shadow-turned-man.
That insecurity turned a little to the left, made Man look upon other men in envy. One man was maybe a little bigger than another, or a little smarter, or maybe even had access to better mates. Of course, I speak of Man the animal, not man the gender. The socio-sexual labels bandied about have no role in our little story. Once Mankind had started to look within for targets it could only get worse. Luck and circumstance lead to greater and greater difference between people right out of the gate and that leads to... well to very nearly all the great tragedies of human history.
Now people toil their lives away trying to sate that insecurity, working to "earn" the things they want, wasting away under some illusion of entitlement. "I deserve to be famous", "I deserve to be rich", "I deserve that beautiful partner". Never really understanding what having those things means, what getting those things entails.
The figure at the bar seems is lost to the telling. Sitting confused in the tide of the Barkeep's rant.
Now, I told you all of that to tell you most of this. I'm a bartender sure, but what does a bartender do. He provides a service. Listens to all the weird little stories that people wreck themselves with and gives them a little something to ease the pain. Gives them what they want, but hardly ever what they need. I like to think I go the extra mile, I give people what they want until they get what they need. I'm a Dealmaker and this is my bar.
Welcome to Irv's.

- the present of high liquidity in the market due to huge trade volumes made daily
- the stability of the market
- easiness to own an underlying commodity wherein one can buy a high-priced product at a lower price during the time of agreement
- low rates of commission in comparison to trading underlying futures stocks
- the ability to do trading at home with decreased in working capital
- lower initial investment required
- the availability of small futures that have narrow spreads and less account minimums
- the presence of various underlying products in the market
Anyone can be basically successful in getting trader profits thru commodity futures trading. At the futures markets, the speculators and the hedgers meet to predict whether the price of a commodity will rise or fall in the future based on a particular market or currency index. Just like any market, commodity futures trading can be risky, however the potential to see both long and short term gains can be considerable.
How To Make Money Trading
The Financial Markets Ezine &
Regarding All Money Matters
Including Real Estate & Loans
There are different futures markets as well as strategies that a person can use to gain trader profits from commodity futures trading. Primarily, a commodity refers to the physical product whose value is decided by the forces of demand and supply. These forces include precious metals, energy, grains, and more. The commodities are traded in a centralized market at a predetermined time whether its price will rise or fall. In trading commodities, it would be strategic to use straddles. A straddle is created holding the same number of puts and calls with the same expiration date and strike price. The "calls" is where the trader expects that the price will rise while the "puts" is where the trader speculates that the prices will fall.
This is because; you do not know when the price will move against you. It will be disheartening if all your futures contract market moves against you. You need to use a trailing stop to maximize profits on remaining positions. Good commodity trading trends can last for long but also you should remember that they do not last forever.
One more commonly used trading strategy in gaining trader profits from commodity futures or forex trading is scalping. Just like commodities futures, the prices of forex and currencies and the forex spot market price quotes for scalping purposes are based on the rise or fall of currency values. In the value of currency, the scalpers try to take mostly small short-term profits off the incremental modifications. As this is done repetitively, the profits will continue to grow in time resulting to significant total profits as all small profits are combined. In able to continue gaining trader profits, one must require strict discipline in order to continue making shorter-term and small profits while preventing too-large trading losses.
In the commodity futures markets, there are two main types of futures trading agreements available. The first type is called as commodity futures and requires physical delivery. The futures in this type include agricultural commodities. The second type is called as financial futures, which often require cash settlement. This type involves mutual funds, bonds, treasury notes, and the like.

Most of the trading in commodity options use the SPAN margin rules where calculations are centered on all angles of a selection. If you need goodbyeloans , then the team of professionals from goodbyeloans is here to help you.This can be very advantageous to the traders. For instance, a trade that uses collar strategy will have lower margin compared to the same trade that uses indices or stocks directly. Lower margins will result to better utilization of capital as well as with higher profits.
With trading commodity options, the slippage per deal per trade is huge. However, in most cases, a trade option that involves the same currency size will result to low slippage. The slippage is even lesser with commodity options that are electronically traded like e-mini contracts and gold options. Most of the strategies with trade commodity options need some few adjustments or hedging during the span of a trade. The general rule for hedging or adjustment is going short or long of the principal to watch over if the principal is not in favor of the trade. E-mini contracts and futures provide the best method to hedge or adjust with low capital requirement.
Trading commodity options do not always need extra margin. With careful assessment of the current trades, possible extra trade opportunities may arise. These additional opportunities can decrease the overall margin that the trade requires.
Apart from the above mentioned advantages of trading commodity options, the trader must be aware trading options as well as futures involve considerable risks of loss or gain that maybe or not suitable for all traders. Here is a useful list of tips that one can use for profitable options trades:

When the plight of hefted sheep was raised during the foot and mouth epidemic it brought blank looks to the faces of journalists covering the crisis. But within hours, the hacks had leapt upon the idea of territorial sheep as the story of the day, and the art and practice of hefting was duly explained to readers.
With its five minutes of fame now over, hefting has disappeared again into the mountains and moorland from where it came. Meanwhile, hill shepherds are still recovering from the terrible disaster that foot and mouth caused for these very special flocks of sheep, and many fear that unless there is a wider understanding and preservation of their ancient art then Britain's wild areas will change for ever - for the worse.
The newly published and informative manual The Practice of Hefting, by Edward Hart, describes hefting as "the term defining the natural homing instinct of animals, particularly hill sheep, kept under range conditions without fencing. Lambs born on a certain area of hill learn the boundaries of their home ground from their mothers, who had learnt it from their mothers and grandmothers."
The point about hefting, as Hart points out, is that sheep that stick to their own hillside without the need for fencing allow vast tracks of mountain and moorland to remain unfenced. The sheep graze the hills evenly, preserving the heather, grass and other plants that are so vital to the look of the hills so enjoyed by walkers.
But the Ministry of Agriculture's policy of killing all sheep next to a foot and mouth outbreak had a disastrous effect on hefted animals. In the open moor, thousands of sheep that would never have been close to infected cattle were needlessly killed because there was little understanding about the territorial nature of the flocks.
Since the culls in 2001, hill shepherds have bought new flocks of sheep, but are now tasked with training them to live on just one patch of hillside. As the manual explains, teaching them not to stray to the sweeter grass in the valleys begins as a full-time occupation. Initially, the shepherds must remain with the sheep constantly, turning them back on to their territory each time they wander. Gradually, the visits can be reduced to two a day and fewer as the sheep begin to settle.
Fully hefted sheep will congregate on the highest point in their territory, usually a hilltop where they spend the night to keep away from predators, and then spread out to evenly graze their patch. Although they are semi-wild, they are marked and controlled by shepherds with dogs.
Sir John Scott, who hefted blackface sheep on the Lammermuirs, Berwickshire, for 25 years, explains in his foreward to the manual that the ancient practice was developed over hundreds of years, probably by the northern monasteries. Each heft was assessed for its grazing potential relative to the herbage and stock numbers. These were rigourously controlled to get the best out of the available land. Spreading the sheep over large areas minimised the risk of internal parasites through overgrazing or picking up fluke, a flatworm, in boggy areas.
But, says Scott, today's difficulty with making a living out of hill farming, particularly with the uncertainties of the reform of the common agricultural policy, mean that hefting is in danger of being lost, and with it the look of the moors and hills.
According to Hart, the land where hefting takes place is usually the poorest and the most difficult in the country. Much of it is common land, with 367,000 hectares (906,877 acres) in England, 4% of the total land area, and 183,000 hectares in Wales (8%). More than half of England's common land is in Cumbria and North Yorkshire and half is within national parks.
Although commoners and hill farmers are joining forces to try to save their living, the booklet is a plea to a wider audience - not least the environment department and the European Commission - to recognise the value of hefting to the wider community. An important point now that the public is free to roam the mountains and moorlands where hefting has kept the countryside as they enjoy seeing it.

Should you be able to pop your electoral cherry at 16? After all, surely Britain's 16 and 17-year-olds deserve the right to vote, in accordance with the principle that was the rallying cry for American independence, "no taxation without representation".
That, at least, will be the argument the Liberal Democrat leader, Charles Kennedy, presents today at a lecture at the London School of Economics. Outlining a long-standing Lib Dem policy, he will call for votes for 16 and 17-year-olds, on the basis that at 16 you can take a job, pay taxes, have sex, have children, join the army and die for your country, but not vote.
The government's current electoral administration bill rejected the option of extending the franchise to the under 18s, although it does allow 18-21 year olds to stand for election, a relaxation of the fomer prohibition on candidates under 21 years old.
Mr Kennedy's party already boasts the youngest MPs in England, Wales and Scotland and is the youngest overall parliamentary party. His interest in the issue is perhaps not purely noble: in a nationwide mock-election held by the Hansard Society in the run up to the real thing this May, the Lib Dems won a stonking 42% of the votes of school pupils.
To rework the Jesuits' saying, Mr Kennedy wants voters at 16 because he thinks he'll have them for life. As he says in his speech, "young people are liberal - socially and economically".

Sacramento Kings To Move to Seattle?!
"I know as much as you do," Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn said when asked about the situation. "If it's true, ain't it cool?" – yahoosports
The Seattle Supersonics gave up their squad (w/ Kevin Durant) in 2008 with Oklahoma City offering a better and bigger arena and area prospects! Well now the time has come for the return of the Seattle… Kings?! Investor Chris Hansen (from the Seattle), a San Francisco based-investor, has been talking with the Sacramento Kings owners, the Maloof Bros., about possibly buying the team and bringing them back to Seattle! Although, the Maloof Bros. repeatedly deny interest in selling the team, for the right price it is a possibility! In fact, the Kings could sell for over $500 Million! Hansen wants to bring the Supersonics back to Seattle, and probably will; whether or not they keep the same name is still up in the air!
Hansen already reached an agreement with local the Seattle government last October for the proposal for a $490 million arena near the city's other stadiums, CenturyLink Field and Safeco Field. There was a condition that construction wouldn't begin until all environmental reviews are completed and a team has been secured. $290 Million (from the Hansen Investment Group) would cover expenses for building the new arena, parking and an improved transportation system for the local area, and the other $200 Million would be public financing to be paid back with rent money and admissions taxes from the arena. The new arena would also be set up for a future NHL franchise.

One Man on the ChessboardMature
After musing for a while on the rather sad state of humanity, his computer beeped. Joshua shelved his discourse, to be resumed when he inevitable faced another moment of utter boredom, and looked up at the screen in front of him.
Only one line of text is displayed there. "One man on the chess board." His heart began to pound in his chest. He jumped up and ran to the keyboard and quickly reran the search to be certain.
"Now? It happens now? After all this time....." The computer beeps again, the same one line of text on the screen. "Ok. Thirty-six hour be dammed. This is my job. No one had better dare to take it from me."
Almost hesitantly, Joshua clicked on the line. His monitor goes black, then a small dialog box pops up, no text, just one line and a blinking cursor. He thinks for a moment, then rapidly types in a series of numbers and letters. Once again the screen goes black, but this time the rest of the monitors follow suit. Only the one in front of him opens a small folder, containing a map, a very brief dossier and oddly enough, a word document. He clicks on it and it opens.
"if you read this you are bound by the oaths you swore. there are only three orders. go to the place on he map by any means possible. inform no one of anything true. kill the rogue."
Joshua rereads the text many times, trying to find something more. "The first chess alert since I came here, and...this is it? It is almost a disappointment."
He checked that map. It pointed to Rome. The very center of Rome. Vatican City.

We are dogs and we have legs. Most of us have four. Our legs have paws - similar to your feet, but with squishy pads underneath.
They're far superior. You could say Mother Nature gave us our own super-sneakers. They allow us to walk quite comfortably indeed. And we like to walk - we really do. We like to run, too. Some of my brothers like to chase things. I like to as well, but that's another story. We also like to roam, jump, dig, bark and fart.
We like to please you. And we're always in the mood to please when we're happy, farting, walking dogs. So I must ask: what's with the wheels, people? Why do you think we need a doggie pram?
We're not babies.
Sure, some of us can ride a skateboard, but that's just for fun. We certainly don't need a chauffeur to roll us anywhere. We're pack animals. We enjoy a walk and a chat with our friends. Get a little dirty. Sniff a little butt. Chase a little cat.
We are descendants of the great grey wolf. Once, we were predators and scavengers, but you guys have made life too damn easy for us. We may enjoy your comfy sofa and a little roast chicken from time to time, but we still have a powerful natural instinct to do our own doggy things.
We simply don't belong in a pram. It's just not canine cool. Please lose the wheels and give us back our walks. You can trust us. We won't run away.
As told to Mark Peters

During the installation of Control Compliance Suite 11.0, a warning is displayed about the failure to create the Evidence file group on the CSM_Reports database
The error message is : "The installation activity Creating Evidence Partition failed to execute"
If creation of the evidence partition fails during installation, then there is no need to uninstall or reinstall Symantec CCS 11.0.
In case the evidence partition creation fails the following happens:
· CCS automatically creates the evidence partition during the running of Collection-Evaluation-Reporting/Evaluation jobs.
· Prior to evidence storage the job checks for the existence of the evidence partition and creates it if it does not exist.
Additional information on CSM_Reports: Evidence File Groups
Symantec Control Compliance Suite 11.0 uses an Evidence file group in the CSM_Reports database to store the evidence data. This is a new feature that is introduced in CCS 11.0.
As shown in Figure 2
· A separate file group is created to store evidence data.
· A new file group for evidence data is created every 90 days
· The minimum permissions needed by the Application Server Service Account to facilitate file group creation is DBO on the CSM_Reports database.
· As purge cycles start, the evidence file groups eligible for purge are deleted freeing disk space.

text: Here's an interesting bit of analysis. No matter what happens from now until the last proton in the universe has decayed, the biggest-selling album of all time will be Thriller from Michael Jackson. It has sales numbers that will never, ever be beat. It's all in the math. Album sales have been in a free-fall since 2000, when nearly a billion albums were sold. But then along came file-sharing and iTunes which allowed us to get just the songs we wanted without buying an entire album. Album sales are about a fifth of what they were 15 years ago. There's more choice and fragmentation in music. There's streaming. And Thriller came out in November 1982, exactly the same time this new thing called the "compact disc" was being introduced. The album road that wave. In other words, conditions will never again exist where a traditional album release will have a chance at selling more than the 65 million we saw with Thriller.
