Walkingstick: Hedge Funds in China Facing Forced Sales as Panic Spreads
Bloomberg News
Updated on January 7, 2016 — 8:25 AM PST
As many as 30% may face mandatory liquidation, Xinhong says
Hedge funds in China are facing forced sales of stock holdings as the market plunge triggers a mandatory liquidation of assets.
The manager of a Chinese hedge fund that returned a surprising 86 percent during last year's stock rout, Xinhong Investment, plans to sell all its stock holdings on Friday, Chairman Lu Weidong said in an interview.
Hedge funds in China generally have agreements with investors spelling out mandatory liquidation levels if their holdings drop below a certain value, and as many as 30 percent of Chinese hedge funds may have reached those levels or are approaching them, Lu said.
"The selling pressure is huge," Lu, whose firm oversees less than $3 million in assets, said on Thursday from his base in Dongguan in southern China. "They absolutely want to run."
Panic is spreading as managers including George Soros are warning that global markets are facing a crisis and investors need to be cautious. China's CSI 300 Index plunged 7.2 percent on Thursday before trading was halted by automatic circuit-breakers for the second time this week, after a weaker-than-estimated yuan fixing fueled concern that slowing economic growth is prompting authorities to guide the currency lower.
"We're preparing to clear all stocks tomorrow when the market opens," Lu said. "A market like this is hard to rescue."
China's securities regulator suspended the circuit-breaker Thursday night, signaling that the country's leadership may reconsider or change the system.
Regulators Deliberate
The China Securities Regulatory Commission announced the suspension on its official microblog account, adding to concern that policy makers in the world's second-largest economy are struggling with how to contain the months-long turmoil in its financial markets. The decision came hours after CSRC officials held an emergency meeting to discuss conditions on the nation's tumbling stock market, according to a person familiar with the discussions who asked not to be named because he wasn't authorized to speak publicly.
About 100 stock-focused Chinese private funds have lost more than 10 percent in the most recent month for which they've reported data, according to Howbuy Investment
Management Co., which tracks such numbers. Most of the funds last updated numbers in December. Almost 1,300 Chinese hedge funds liquidated amid China's $5 trillion stock selloff during the summer as the value of their equity holdings fell below mandatory levels agreed with investors, according to Howbuy.
'Insane' Market
Thursday's slump forced at least one fund -- Shanghai Heqi Tongyi Asset Management Co. -- to dump its holdings. Chen Gang, Heqi Tongyi's chief investment officer, described the markets as "insane," and said the firm was forced to liquidate after reaching stop-loss levels.
Some other managers just didn't have enough time to respond. Jiao Ji, whose hedge funds averaged a 61 percent return during the June-August summer rout after he successfully sold out before the market crash, said the trading halts this week came so quickly that he didn't even have time to sell his holdings to curb losses.
"It was quite abrupt on Monday, and it's even more abrupt today," Jiao, chairman of Sunrise Investment, based in northeastern China's Jilin province, said by phone. "There's not even a chance for a rebound."
'Already Scared'
Worries about losing the ability to sell after a trading halt added to market panic and selling pressure, because "people were already scared when the decline hit 3 percent," pushing the fall quickly to the 7 percent level, Jiao said.
Xinhong Investment's Fuguo No. 1 fund was the best-performer among the 236 Chinese multi-strategy hedge funds from June to August, according to Shenzhen Rongzhi Investment Consultant Co. While that fund is still doing fine, another fund managed by the company is approaching its liquidation line, Xinhong's Lu said.
Four of Sunrise's funds made the top-10 list of the 2,193 stock funds in China in the three months through August, according to Shenzhen Rongzhi, which tracks hedge funds.

Cameron to announce new heavy-handed anti-terrorism bill
Next Wednesday UK Prime Minister David Cameron will revive a counter-terrorism bill that was first suggested last March, but which never made it into legislation due to it being vetoed by the Liberal Democrats on the grounds of free speech. With the coalition government over, having won the election outright on this occasion the Conservative party will now have the opportunity to pass the Bill, which it feels is paramount in order to give the police the power they require to place major restrictions on organizations, and in particular individuals, who authorities feel are a danger to democracy in the UK.
In his Queen's speech next Wednesday, Cameron will announce the new measures, which will be used to specifically target any individual or organization that is trying to radicalize young British people. However, it will also allow the Police to apply to the high court for an order to limit the 'harmful activities' of any person it finds to be pushing extremist views on others.
The statement, released by the Conservative party, defines 'harmful activities' as any behavior that poses the risk of causing public disorder, which carries the risk of causing harassment, or that can be seen to be causing alarm, panic, or distress, by creating 'a threat to the functioning of democracy.'
In what appears to be a severely restrictive piece of legislation, which (as the Liberal Democrats pointed out during the last Parliament,) will severely hinder the British public's ability to openly express freedom of speech. The new bill will not only be used to combat the more comprehensible problems of radicalized opinions relating to race, gender or religion, but will also be available to authorities who feel a person is pursuing harmful activities for the (rather general) 'purpose of overthrowing democracy'.
In what starts to give the impression of a bill we would expect to see coming out of the Kremlin rather than the UK, anybody who is put under the restrictions of the somewhat exorbitant legislation will be disallowed the right to publicly broadcast, and will be required to submit to the police in advance any materials which he or she plans to disseminate either on the web (including via social media) or in print.
Indeed, it would seem that now the draconian and surveillance obsessed British government has decided that even talking to your own friends via a private page on social media, if believed to be anti-government, could get you slapped by an injunction that will force you to keep your mouth closed. Add to that Cameron's statement from just after the recent election win, and you start to get quite the picture of the man who is now outright in charge of the country,
'For too long, we have been a passively tolerant society, saying to our citizens "as long as you obey the law, we will leave you alone"'
Now, according to Cameron and his cronies, it is fair game to not leave alone (whatever that means exactly) those people who merrily go along living life without breaking the law. This a statement that to me seems so radical as to be nearing almost fascist sensibilities, and which I can not help feeling (if it were me that was in charge of the country) I would use to condemn Cameron with – giving him a slap on the wrist with his own bill, for remarks that go against the very essence of being a free British citizen.
The following are a few excerpts from the statement that Cameron will mention in his speech when he addresses the National Security Council (NSC) next Wednesday,
'For too long, we have been a passively tolerant society, saying to our citizens: as long as you obey the law, we will leave you alone. It's often meant we have stood neutral between different values. And that's helped foster a narrative of extremism and grievance.'
'This government will conclusively turn the page on this failed approach. As the party of one nation, we will govern as one nation and bring our country together. That means actively promoting certain values.'
'Freedom of speech. Freedom of worship. Democracy. The rule of law. Equal rights regardless of race, gender or sexuality. We must say to our citizens: this is what defines us as a society.'
In addition to the points raised by David Cameron's in his speech, the home secretary Theresa May will say,
'The twisted narrative of extremism cannot be ignored or wished away. This government will challenge those who seek to spread hatred and intolerance by forming a new partnership of every person and organisation in this country that wants to defeat the extremists.'
A final point of interest within the bill are 'powers of closure', which will give the police authority to close down any premises being used to spread extremism, including mosques. Also according to the Guardian, this is only the first of two bills that will go hand in hand, the second of which, when implemented later in the parliament (to bolster the first), will revive the aptly named 'snoopers charter' that gives the government the right to retain any records of correspondences, including phone calls, emails and other data, belonging to any person that the government feels is necessary, in the so-called interests of 'national security.'
Yet again, the ever increasing amounts of surveillance legislation being passed, not only in the UK, but throughout Europe and the US, are great reasons to get a trusted VPN provider. Here at BestVPN, of course, you are in the right place to weigh up your options and find a VPN that gives you the type of service that you require. So, whether you are an activist, journalist, or simply a person who cares deeply about privacy and wants control over their communications, we are here to enable you to make an informed decision that is right for you.

See results in as little as four weeks!
4 Easy Moves that Tighten, Trim and Tone
Wouldn't it be nice if you could wave a magic wand and—poof!—have stronger, leaner legs? With these moves from NYC-based personal trainer David Kirsch, it's not quite that easy, but you will see results in as little as four weeks. "If you do all four exercises as a circuit—meaning a cycle of 15 reps of each—you'll be working every muscle in your legs," he says. Complete the circuit three times in a row, four days a week right in the comfort of your own living room. Then, enjoy the taut, toned results.More
1. With your feet wider apart than your shoulders, turn out your toes.
2. As you squat down, rise to your tiptoes. Then, pressing your heels into the ground, return to your original standing position.
1. Stand with your legs hip-width apart and hold on to a chair for balance.
2. Bend forward, raising one leg up to form a 90-degree angle with the other. Return to starting; repeat with the other leg.

Great assortment of emotions & easy to install.
These are great! I didn't use the emotions before I got this package because I'm a new iPhone user and didn't know they were available for email. I'm so glad I got this package because (1) there's a huge assortment of ones I've never seen before and they are simply great and (2) there's instructions on where they go and how to access them in the email program. For iPhone beginners (like myself) the instructions were a great help and as I said previously I learned that there is the Globe symbol in the email app that opens the emotions you get from Apple and others you can add like these. I highly recommend these because I feel you cannot have enough of these. I'm hoping sometime in the near future this software designer makes some super funny and maybe just a little ADULT emotions just for fun. Highly Recommended to all.
Love this emoji keyboard & use it every time I post online or in messages! Love it but hope more emojis will be added to these for even more emoji choices. I love outdoor stuff...hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, etc. I also make hiking sticks & canes, would love to have them added😄
Bad transparency advertising!
People are accustomed to and expect a product to improve. Having no information about the Emoji 2 product not capable of being integrated into the regular iMessage keyboard is a sham. Who has the time to research this before buying? I want my $1 back but don't deserve it cause I didn't check it's capabilities. Warning- you have to copy all to notepad to add emoticons. It's just plain not respectfully upfront. Makes me want to design apps and make $. Lol. Peace

As of Year 2017, we've created the new TestUFO topic area on popular demand -- discussion about http://www.testufo.com motion tests. So many people use them, even including several monitor manufacturers.
Did You Know? A little known Blur Busters history fact is that it was also used during the development of the Oculus VR headset (back in the Kickstarter days) which convinced Oculus to add a low-persistence OLED to their subsequent VR headsets. When they were still a very small Kickstarter outfit, they were early beta testers of TestUFO almost 1 year before Facebook bought them out -- long before John Carmack and Michael Abrash came on board. If you have a Oculus low-persistence OLED goggles, you can actually blame TestUFO (and Blur Busters LightBoost-awareness-raising) in part for Oculus' decision to go to low-persistence displays.
This new TestUFO discussion forum can be used for:
-- Questions about TestUFO
-- Requests for new TestUFO tests
-- TestUFO comparisions.
-- Etc.

WWD Staff NEW YORK —Looking good.That's the attitude retail and apparel analysts have toward the stocks they cover. Despite the roller-coaster ride felt on both Main Street and Wall Street, retail and apparel stocks are poised to fatten investors' portfolios in the second half, as apparel companies begin to mark the anniversary of markdown-heavy performance last fall and look forward to a more fashion-driven back-to-school selling season. In addition, observers agree, retail executives have been diligent, trimming inventories and buying closer to need, generating stellar gross margins and eking out decent profits in an economic environment that is starving for good news.Although retail and apparel stocks have generally been on par with the broader market, taking the ride along with everyone else, David Lamer, an analyst with Ferris, Baker Watts, said: "There are a lot of good opportunities out there to buy some of these companies at these inexpensive prices. The business continues to be good and, with inventory levels being as low as they are, I think gross margins will be rescued and sales will improve in the back half of the year." Most industry observers agreed, calling the sector a safe haven for investors' dollars because of the strength of business fundamentals going into the all-important second half. So while investors may be reluctant to put money in the equity market due to the recent corporate scandals at Enron, Worldcom and Adelphia, they say when they become comfortable again — and when new laws are put in place to prevent future scandals — retail and apparel stocks are a safe place to go because of their hard assets like real estate. That's in contrast to the past, when ideas and trademarks made technology issues the darlings of Wall Street.Lamer said his favorite picks are such stocks as Coach, Tiffany, Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom, whose prices got knocked around out of fear their customers would be hardest hit during the economic slowdown. "Coach is my favorite pick out there because its stock price has been driven down by the Street almost 33 percent in the month, but its business has been great and it is a great brand." he said. In addition, he liked Dillard's, calling it "the underdog," although its business remains healthy and its gross margins continue to improve as it focuses more on private label brands."In uncertain times, people still need to shop, and it is a lot easier to purchase a Coach handbag than a $7,000 couch," Lamer said.Dana Telsey, an analyst at Bear, Stearns, agreed with the upside potential of these stocks. "Retail fundamentals are strong," she said. "Apparel retailers are in better shape this year than they were last year — inventory levels are lean, retailers are up against easier comps than last year and margins are stronger." Telsey said her picks of the moment include The Limited Brands, Ann Taylor and Talbots, as well as off-price retailers like Ross and TJX, both of which were able to get more brands in their stores to attract more customers.However, the wild card this year is consumer confidence and how the public will react to dwindling stock values and the prospects for delayed retirement. Some analysts said they are waiting to see how back-to-school sales will fare before they put out any green lights to purchase stocks. But with new fashion hitting the stores, they believe there is justification for some optimism.The cyclical nature of retail, and its dependence on the back half of the year for sales and profits, tends to depress those stocks at this time of year anyway. But add to that the weakness of retail a year ago and the upside for fashion in the months ahead and the potential for stock growth seems considerable.Joe Teklits at First Union Securities noted stocks' valuations are down to near their average historical low levels, meaning the downside risk to owning these names does not seem to be significant. He noted that, over the past four years, his group of specialty retailers has traded down as low as 15 times earnings and as high as 24 times. However, currently, the group is trading at 16 times earnings estimates. Teklits said his picks are Pacific Sunwear of California, which just reported a 10.5 percent June comp gain, and Abercrombie & Fitch because it still has good growth potential."This is the time of year you want to own retail stocks, not trade them," Teklits said. "Although right now, investors have some trepidation going into the fall and holiday season because of the risk of it being a bust, over the long run, getting involved with retail stocks at these lowered prices is a positive."Kimberly Greenberger at Lehman Bros. said that while lower interest rates helped the home and auto industries prosper following the terrorist attacks last year, the retail sector suffered major setbacks in the third and fourth quarters. Stores slashed prices to rid themselves of excess inventory, hurting profitability. "As long as we do not have some kind of shock to the economy or double-dip recession, the consumer will likely continue to spend on smaller-price-point purchasing, including apparel, accessories and footwear, as the economic recovery comes in fits and starts," she said. "As a result, companies can now start looking for profit growth this year, and that is attractive to the sector's stock performance," she said. "The hurdle is so much lower in the retail group."

The Audi SQ7 is a 435bhp diesel SUV
Audi adds tri-turbocharged V8 diesel to Q7. Result is plentiful speed and all the torque
Another day, another face-bendingly powerful SUV. Take a step backward to gaze upon the outsize countenance of the Audi SQ7. And all 664 of its torques.
It also kicks out 435bhp. That gets the SQ7 from zero to 62 in comfortably under five seconds. The urge comes from novel technology. It's a new V8 4.0 diesel with three turbos. Two are your usual exhaust-driven items, but the third is a world-first electrically driven turbo.
OK, tech-heads, pay attention. The two conventional turbos aren't even conventionally disposed. Rather than a one-per-bank arrangement, they sit in the V. The first is for light acceleration and cruising. The second one comes into play for big efforts.
The electric turbo snuggles up to the engine, after the intercoolers. It's powered by a 48 volt motor so can spin-up in less than a quarter of a second. It uses about 10bhp when running at full load. That might sound significant, but after all some belt-drive superchargers on petrol engines absorb up to 100bhp. "With this solution, turbo lag is history," says Audi. Yeah well, we'll see, but the idea is certainly ruddy canny.
There's more. The valve lift is variable, and each of the two exhaust valves in each cylinder is independently controlled. One set is piped to the light-load turbo while the other set stays shut. To get the second blower into play, the second set of exhaust valves is activated.
Meanwhile flaps control the path of gas through the silencers, so the driver can call up an extra dose of V8 aural Sturm und Drang.
With the 48 volt system on board, the SQ7 also has some advanced suspension control. The anti-roll bars are uncoupled for straight-road driving, helping comfort. But in a bend, 48-volt actuators recouple the bars to keep the action suitably sporty.
Front and rear systems are separately controlled so the suspension engineers have been able to set up variable understeer and oversteer balance depending on speed, driver inputs and so on.
Roll stabilisation like this isn't new, but the 48-volt system (also used in the related Bentley Bentayga) is faster-acting and lighter.
In other news, the SQ7 is loaded with LED headlights, new bumpers, more aluminium trim and, natch, special wheels. Inside it gets sports seats and a re-trim in S house style.
Luscious prospect, welcome technical innovation or pointless way to make seven people very car-sick? Let us know below.

Alain Prost
Life Path Number 1
" It's like when people talk about driving F1 cars in the rain. I have absolutely no problem with it."
Alain Prost is a male celebrity.
He was born on Thursday February 24th 1955, in Lorette, France,.
Alain Prost was born with extra-ordinary drive and determination. He is a born leader. Alain insists on his right to make up his own mind; he demands freedom of thought and action, and does not let anything or anyone stand in his way once he is committed to his goal.
Prost assumes the responsibility to be the protector and provider for those he loves. He demands respect and attention and becomes irritated and even domineering when important things do not go his way.
Alain Prost needs to feel in command of important undertakings, and resists supportive roles. He seeks the forefront and the limelight.
Alain is exceptionally creative and original and possesses a touch of the unusual. His approach to problems is unique and he has the courage to wander from the beaten path. Alain Prost can be impatient with his shortcomings and those of others.
He is very concerned with his status and fosters the appearance of success and self-satisfaction. The need to appear well off propels Alain to strive for growth, success and the finer things of life.
Alain Prost should watch out for selfishness, conceit and the over-concern with appearance. He must guard against overzealous behavior, anger and aggressiveness. If these qualities are not brought under control Alain could become excessively domineering, vindictive and even violent. He performs best when he left to his own devices. Ideally Prost should own his own business and be his own boss. Alain Prost should hold fast to his life's dream and work with the determination he possesses to realize it. Alain can become overly stressed by his driven nature. He needs to be careful about the food he eats and maintain an exercise program he enjoys. Competition sports are often a healthy outlet for a person with Prost's drive, particularly sports involving running and swimming. Alain Prost must not let pride and overconfidence be his masters. He has to remember that his talents and abilities are a gift from a higher source, which should promote gratitude and humility, rather than pride and conceit.
More often than not a person with a 1 Life Path will achieve much in life as long as the drive, creativity, originality and pioneering spirit are fully employed!
You and Alain

For those of you who have the first in this series, "Hear No Evil", which features the psychedelic grasshopper 'head' on the cover, the second in this series will feature the grasshopper 'body' and, naturally, in time, the final disc will feature the 'tail'. (Own all three and you'll have the entire picture when the CDs are put side by side! :-)
The upcoming release will contain at least 4 originals and as many as 8 cover songs ranging from the Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby" to Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Baby Got Back" to Eddie Grant's "Electric Avenue". It's coming together great and we're looking forward to its release which will, no doubt, include another blow-out CD release party at Sokol Hall this coming Spring.

And lastly, a wish from us to you to please BE SAFE this holiday season. This comes as a particular note as this past Monday night, under icy road conditions, there was a horrible two-car accident directly in front of our house in which two 19-year-old twin brothers were severely injured... one is now in serious but stable condition and the other remains in critical condition. Without going into great detail, it was a very sad and traumatic scene and a sobering reminder of the brevity of life, the gratitude we must hold for the love in the life we are living, and the absolute need to simply be careful and look out for one another.
Our prayers are with the brothers and their family.
As always, thank you all for your continued support of Grasshopper Takeover and we wish you a healthy, happy and successful 2005.
Spread Your Wings And Fly!!!

Answers: Wind direction
Q: In your article in the January 2010 issue of AOPA Flight Training, you say: "If the lines on a weather map showing air pressures of 500 millibars and 496 millibars were straight and parallel, the PGF and Coriolis forces would soon balance and the wind would flow parallel to the lines of equal atmospheric force." I thought that air masses would flow from high to low pressure. Could you help me understand where I am going wrong. Thank you.
A: Answering this question requires an illustration and fortunately I found one. The image below is a National Weather Service (NWS) surface analysis chart showing observed air pressure and winds over the north-central U.S. on May 6, 1999 (the time isn't shown, but the NWS produces such maps each three hours.)
The red "L" is the center of an area of low atmospheric pressure. The solid black line around it is the isobar–a line of equal pressure–for 992 millibars (mb), as seen in the figures to the lower right of the "L". The next circle is 996 mb., the third one 1000 mb, and so on for each 4 millibars.
A center of high pressure is off this map to the west (the left). A line directly from the high to the low pressure would cross the five isobars over South Dakota at roughly right angles. Such a line from the high to low pressure shows the direction of the Pressure Gradient Force (PGF), which begins pushing air, causing the wind.
But, you have to keep in mind that as you move out in any direction from the L, the air pressure increases, at least for the area seen on this map.
The black dots on the map are weather stations and the thin lines extending out from the dots are wind arrows. The wind is blowing along each line to the station it's attached to. For example, at the station just to the left of the "L" the wind is blowing approximately from the northwest.
By the way to learn how to read weather maps like the one above, you best bet is to buy a copy of Aviation Weather Services: Advisory Circular AC00-45F (FAA Handbooks). This book is the source of questions and weather maps and reports on FAA written tests.
If you look at the other wind arrows you will see that that winds are blowing roughly parallel, but slightly across the isobars toward the low-pressure center. So far, this illustrates your question.
Now, we're ready to look at the answer.
In my latest book, The AMS Weather Book: The Ultimate Guide to America's Weather, I explain all of this on pages 53 to 57 with the help of five illustrations.
Instead of telling you only to buy the book and read these pages, I'll give you a quick answer:
As wind, ocean currents, or other objects move across the earth's surface without being attached to the earth. it turns under them, which causes them to follow a curved path across the earth's surface. The reason for this curving motion is called the Coriolis Force. The faster the wind, the stronger the Coriolis force. For more on this, see Explorations: The Coriolis Force on the supplemental Web site for my book.
One way to think about why the wind flows roughly at a right angle to a line between high and low pressure is to image what happens to a "parcel" of air, a small blob of the air, as the PGF starts pushing it from the west toward the "L" on the map.
As the air starts moving toward the L, the Coriolis force turns it to the right (in the Northern Hemisphere). If the air continued turning toward the right, however, it would be pushing against the pressure gradient force.
You can think of what happens as a component (like a cross wind component when you're landing) of the PGF pushing against the air. This would slow it down, which would weaken the Coriolis force, allowing the PDG to turn the air back toward the left.
Also, don't forget, that as an air parcel goes around the L, higher pressure is always pushing it toward the L.
To see how this works, you could print out the chart above and then draw arrows showing what the PGF and Coriolis forces are doing step by step as an air parcel moves. (This would give you images somewhat like those in my book.
Being near the ground adds another complication. The friction air moving over the ground slows it, which weakens the Coriolis force. This in turn, allows the PDF to push the air more toward the low pressure center than it would high above the earth where friction doesn't affect wind speed. This is why the wind arrows show that the air is crossing the isobars as it spirals in toward the low center, where it rises.
I hope this helps. This stuff can become pretty complex, but taking some time drawing arrows on the chart will help make it clear. I think, of course, that my book, will speed this up.
By the way, the surface weather chart image above is from the Rapid City, S.D., NWS office Web site. It's used to illustrate why strong winds hit western South Dakota and northeastern Wyoming on May 6, 1999.

The given blow is the information about tie knots which you may never know existed:
Types of Tie Knots
This tie knot is hailed to be the most unique one and stands out among the array of tie knot. Such a tie knot can be woven by making optimum use of small end of the tie and thus a tapered fishtail braid-like effect is sought thereby. The knot reflects people at length and can also have a good impact upon your colleagues in office or at field.
It is yet another most delicate knot which is characterized by a three-way symmetry and has the disguise of Celtic Triquetra. The pattern gathers around the central point and it enhances the overall attraction of the face above such knots manifolds.
It is characterized by third turning of the active end and when the tie is tied precisely, it casts an imposingly layered cylindrical effect. Moreover, fashion stalwarts claim such knot to be highly versatile with shirts of brighter shades and the knot is recommended for confined collars and is best paired with a vest.
It is a supreme artistic accomplishment of a tie and tie style is known by such name as the final appearance of tie is shown to be in such form. Though it is tedious to seek such a knot precisely but this knot has garnered a huge distinction in recent times.
Are you planning a romantic date ahead, then such a tie know will be an ideal elegance collateral. Though it has some resemblance with the trinity knot but still has been greeted warmly across the European and American muscular bodies and especially on a Valentine's Day.
It owe its appearance to Eldredge knot but tying such a knot type is pretty easier and even ties with limited lengths can be apt for it. It looks stunning with half opened collars and can be bound and loosened in a normal way like a windsor.
It is just like any other sterling knot and 4 sections are created by such a knot. It is considered to be harsh to tie such a know with precision and ties with stripe are largely thought to be an ideal accessory for such knots. Fashion stalwarts claim that such knots are not meant for young boys rather it is for the livid lady killers.
Long loops are the distinct features in such tie knots and wider collars are considered to be apt for such types. The implicit loops are, however, share drastic similarity with Fishbone knots but still such knot types showcase sterling finishes when they are put under the collars. These can be used during office hours as well as when one is on casual outings.
Such a tie knot is developed by using 4 in hand while a supplementary knot is place with the help of small end but right below the main knot. Hence, it enables one to secure a typical hourglass looks in his tie. However, the downside with such knot is that it will be difficult to get it modified or adjusted in the subsequent attempts and hence it needs to be developed perfect in the maiden attempt itself. Stripe ties are best suited for such type of knots.
It is also known by the term Edity Knot and the looks of such a particular knot is enhanced by the Merovingian element. Besides, the knot is pretty special and it gives a feeling of yet another tie within the main tie.
It is considered to be a typical knot and it is a reserved depiction of Pratt Knot. The end result is an inside-out knot that is largely marked by complex knot structure which remains concealed on the back. Such a knot is considered for festivities and during family get-togethers.
Such a knot is a slight variation of Atlantic Knot and it further adds to the aesthetic value. Such a knot works best with the single colour ties and attracts the nerves of by-standers at length.
It is just like the Atlantic knot and the Cape Knot but tying it, is a lengthy process. Such a tie knot is for the informal occasions and suites the half-wide collar openings.
It is usually a giant, thick and gives out an amorphic looks. Trend setters compare it with the St Andrews Knot since it has an additional angle at the end. Such ties are made up of silk or other lightweight materials only as other ties of fabrics will look awkward in regard to such knots.
Such knots are implemented to secure a style statement and it is largely a symmetrical art. It appears to be bull like and hence it looks stunning during the casual outings. It is meant for thick ties and are precisely matched with open collar shirts.
It is hailed to be a fabulous necktie that is largely recommended for business meetings. It is a thicker, wider tie knot which is triangular in shape and that underlines confidence. It is exclusively meant for the cutaway collars.
It is simply the reinvention of Full Windsor Knot and when it is precisely tied, it reflects a vivid symmetrical triangular and it thus looks mesmerizing with any shirt. It is extremely accomplished while it is worn on jobs or while at leisure.
It is just mulled to be an improved version of Pratt Knot where lesser turns are needed but it produces a symmetrical knot which compensates for half-spread collars. Ties of wool are held to be apt for such type of knots.
Unlike the St. Andrews Knot, it gives out a symmetrical knot which is largely characterized by a broader cone like shape and with a shrink opening. The knot is overall pretty sophisticated one and which is considered to be an ideal for jobs and for parties. However, knitted and woven ties are termed best for such knots.
Such a knot type is typically meant for occasions like weddings and formal events. It is considered ideal for paisley ties and wide collar shirt which is supplemented by a nice-looking vest. Additionally, a long neck tie is recommended with such knots, since the knot type consumes a lot of fabric.
Such a knot is held to be pretty simpler than the Windsor Knot and the person needs to simply draw the wide end of the tie behind and over the main knot. It gives out stunning looks with wise collar openings and such a knot calls for ties which are lengthier in size.
Such a knot looks elegant and it requires lesser fabric as well. Moreover, it best suits any shirt and wider neckties are developed from light to medium fabrics. Fashion gurus regard such knots for formal meetings as it gives out an impression of great accomplishment.
This is an easy to tie, slender, tapered, asymmetrical, self-releasing knot. It's best suited for the standard button-down dress shirt and works best with wide neckties made from heavy fabrics. Use for semi-formal events, when you want to be discreet.Such a knot is simple to tie and then it is slender, tapered, asymmetrical and a self-releasing knot. It looks stunning with button-down dress shirts and looks pretty elegant with wider neckties which are developed from heavier fabrics. It is largely used with semi-formal events, when one wants to have a discreet appearance.
Such a knot is long, narrow, and an asymmetric one that is held to be perfect for shirts with smaller collars. It suits ties of any design and shade and is recommended for formal occasion as well as casual moments.
It is characterized by a large, elegant and triangular knot that suits the slim neckties and is easily paired with narrow or half-wide collar openings. It can be tied for casual times and also on jobs.
If one aims for the asymmetric looks for Half Windsor, but still insists on slightly bigger and longer knot, it will be the apt option for him. It can be put on for official hours as well as for casual outings. A confined collar opening will be termed as ideal for such type of knot.
It is widely used for formal as well as for casual outings. Such knots look astonishing with ties with stripes and also with those which are knitted-patterned ones.
Sans doubt, it is hailed to be the great tie knot and it is meant to be tied loosely and the end result is that a puffy knot is sought at the end which is marked by 4 rings. Ties with darker shades but that are of silk fabric are the best options for such knots. Such a knot is highly recommended for parties and they look stunning for casual weekends too.
This is a highly asymmetrical and unusual knot that's best served for evening occasions. It goes well with a tie made of light fabric, in a solid color, and with a subtle pattern, so as not to make the knot look overly confusing while still giving it some additional details.

The Washington Nationals have yet to convene for spring training, haven't played a game in the District, and for the most part remain faceless to the region's awaiting fan base. But yesterday, the club came to contract terms with the one player -- first baseman-outfielder Brad Wilkerson -- who appears poised to become the face of the franchise.
Wilkerson, the club's player of the year during its final season in Montreal, avoided arbitration yesterday when he agreed to a one-year deal worth $3.05 million, up from the $375,000 he made in 2004.
"Obviously, he's one of the key players, one of the cornerstone players that the team is going to be built around," Nationals interim general manager Jim Bowden said. "To not have to go through the arbitration process with a key player is important."
Wilkerson's agent, Scott Boras, called his client "unique." Toggling between first base and the outfield, he hit .255 with 32 home runs and 67 runs batted in almost exclusively out of the leadoff spot. He scored 112 runs and walked 106 times, making him perhaps the team's most productive offensive player in 2004.
At last month's winter meetings, Boras and Bowden each fielded inquiries about Wilkerson from other clubs, who like his versatility and left-handed bat with power. Bowden is open to trade offers for anyone on the Nationals' roster, but considers Wilkerson nearly untouchable because he fits the description of the kind of player the club wants to build around -- relatively inexpensive, talented players in their prime. Wilkerson is 27, will be entering just his fourth full major league season and is a .259 career hitter with 72 homers and 208 RBI in 1,700 at-bats.
"The only reason he drove in only 60-something runs is because he was leading off," Bowden said. "As he continues to develop, we think he could put up huge numbers. Plus, he's a gamer. He's a winner. He plays the game right. He does the little things right. He's a loyal guy, and he plays with a tremendous intensity."
Wilkerson has expressed a desire to settle into one position, which would likely be left field if the roster remains as it is. If so, Nick Johnson, recovered from an eye injury, would be back at first base, Endy Chavez would be in center field and Jose Guillen, acquired in a trade with Anaheim, would take over in right field.
The Nationals have avoided arbitration with four of their seven eligible players, including catcher Brian Schneider (one year, $2 million) and pitchers Joey Eischen (one year, $1.04 million) and T.J. Tucker (one year, $657,000). Johnson and starters Tomo Ohka and Tony Armas Jr. still remain eligible for arbitration, though Bowden believes Johnson and Armas will sign deals avoiding the process.
Though Bowden said he's continuing to work on possible changes to the roster before pitchers and catchers report to spring training on Feb. 15, he said that free agent target Odalis Perez's impending deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers likely means the Nationals are done pursuing free agents.
"We're not going to spend money just to spend money," Bowden said.
On the business front, the Nationals continued to work on finalizing their radio deal with Clear Channel Communications, which owns local stations such as WTEM, WWRC, WASH and WIHT. And in Baltimore, Major League Baseball President Robert DuPuy met with Orioles owner Peter Angelos, resuming talks to work out a compensation package for Angelos. The sides have not yet reached a deal, but are expected to continue meeting next week.
Angelos was the lone owner to vote against the Nationals' move from Montreal, and MLB is seeking to satisfy him by guaranteeing a minimum value for his franchise should he decide to sell, as well as giving the Orioles the majority of the revenue from a proposed regional sports network that would televise both Orioles and Nationals games.

Workers Have Never Had it Better
September 6, 2001
Work conditions have improved dramatically for Americans over the past century. In "Have A Nice Day," Michael Cox and Richard Alm show how U.S. offices and work sites have become safer and more comfortable. For example:
- On-the-job deaths have fallen from 428 per million workers in 1930 to just 38 per million last year.
- Nonfatal injuries have dropped from 108 per 1,000 employees in 1973 to 58 in 1999.
- While many American suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome and other repetitive-motion ailments, even these injuries fell from 11.3 percent of employees to 6.9 percent between 1970 and 2000.
Workplaces are also more easy-going, as 80 percent of Fortune 500 companies have adopted more causal dress codes since 1995. In 1997, 27.6 percent of employees enjoyed flexible working hours, up from 13.6 percent in 1985.
Companies offer perks unheard of 25 years ago, including exercise rooms, paternity leave, on-site child care and paid sabbaticals. Generous retirement plans are available at 81 percent of U.S. firms, and average real hourly wages and benefits grew 175 percent between 1947 and 2000.

Earl_KarmasBitch | 26
Unless it's the other way round and she schedules when they'll have sex and just sends him reminders about it. Either way, you both need to sort out your sex life.
ukeandfoodislife | 19
People with jobs and a real life can't always have a spontaneous sex life. OP should be happy she still wants to have an active sex life.
Elijah0 | 16
You've obviously never been scammed into marriage. 9 times out of 10 it's the wife that turns frigid and kills the sex life. After marriage the only screwing that you'll get is in the wallet or in the soul. PS. Marriages are a lot like tattoos: They might look good at first, but they're expensive as hell to remove and still leaves a scar.
MandieL | 27
You are obviously very bitter about a bad marriage #32, but I have known my fair share of couples, married and common law, and I can assure you're statistics are incorrect. Most of them are very happy and have active sex lives. Don't drag down all women because you had a bad one, it really pisses off the women who don't deserve it (which in my circles is probably 75% of them) I know some stereotypical wives, but most of them that I know are wonderful. So don't bring your shit here as if it is like that for every other poor man out there. Who knows, maybe you were a shitty husband and just couldn't see it through your own arrogance.
SquidInTheSky99 | 19
If this FML had been about a woman receiving a reminder for sex from her husband, everyone would talk about what a pig he was. Even in a marriage, no one's entitled to have sex from the other.
quackImapenguin | 16
What makes you think it's a point that's been reached? Could be she was just being flirtatious or quirky. Maybe she was bored and the calendar was just there. Or maybe she bought some new lingerie and had something planned. I don't see how this is an FML or a YDI.
Jessika706 | 14
Ur such an idiot. I'm guessing ur twice divorced and miserable. Not all marriages are sucky.

sshh..No one likes a grammar Nazi!!!
The amount of inconsistency FMLers exhibit towards their love of correct grammar is ridiculous. "As long as it's not absolute garbage, your grammar doesn't matter if you're funny or doing some #REALTALK, but if we don't agree with you or think your sense of humor is terrible, WE WILL TEAR APART YOUR SINGULAR BRAINFART USAGE OF THERE INSTEAD OF THEIR!"
tarlax | 11
FFS Concise, if anyone ever needed to stop commenting... "OH NOES, FML users have different opinions on an issue, how hypocritical!" I know you'll see your downvotes and tell yourself the people who gave them to you are sheep or stupid or whatever, but the simple fact is, your comment is just plain garbage. Yeah, "your" not "you're."
Karinrinkashi | 9
someone is judgemental!
hufflepuffle | 13
It's FML, this place was made for us to judge others.
buckstop1 | 34
Well to be fair, some FML'S only tell half of the story. Some people do it because of the amount of space granted to them. Others only tell small pieces of what actually happened to make it sound different than the situation presented to them. What I'm trying to say is that as far as we know, OP's wife doesn't want to have sex, but knows it's unfair if her husband wants sex, so she sets a date on the calendar to try and maintain a minimum sex qouta. Or perhaps the OP and his wife have different schedules, so it's hard to find the time to change from a "lady in the streets" to a "freak in the sheets". Maybe you're all just jumping to the wrong collusions too quickly, without any knowledge besides the small sentence OP gave you.
By giantsfan2010 | 23
Sex is not something you should plan out. It's supposed to be spontaneous and fun!
Badkarma4u | 17
That statement means you dont have kids.
MissBehavin77 | 18
Should be but I'm married too and found out quick that getting married means no more sex life. I feel sorry for OP but sometimes, that's just how it is unfortunately.
quackImapenguin | 16
Planning sex builds the anticipation! Spontaneous is fine, but it's not the only good way to have sex.

a team of Korean researchers has found a way to modify a particular type of enzyme in roundworms to double their lifespan—and they suspect the same mechanisms might work in humans.
Caenorhabditis elegans, the roundworm in question, may not look much like humans since they measure just one millimeter in length, but a number of their biological processes are similar to ours. In the study, published this week in PNAS, the researchers turned their attention to a family of enzymes called RNA helicase. These enzymes are known to regulate RNA, which is found in every living cell to carry instructions from DNA to control protein synthesis and maintain cells. Though RNA helicase is well studied, researchers don't know much about the role it plays in the aging process.
When the researchers suppressed one particular helicase, HEL-1, as well as a gene called daf-2, the mutated roundworms were not only more immune to environmental stresses of heat, cold and pathogenic bacteria, but also their lifespans were double that of wild roundworms.
They suspect HEL-1 plays a key role in how cells convert DNA to RNA, and even conscript other enzymes to do it too. "In contrast to the expectation that RNA helicases have general housekeeping roles in RNA metabolism, our findings reveal that the RNA helicase HEL-1 has specific roles in a specific longevity pathway," the researchers write.
HEL-1 is found in humans. Some evidence suggest that HEL-1 could also have a longevity effect on humans.
PNAS – RNA helicase HEL-1 promotes longevity by specifically activating DAF-16/FOXO transcription factor signaling in Caenorhabditis elegans
RNA helicases are a large family of enzymes that regulate the generation and maintenance of RNA. However, the physiologic roles of RNA helicases in animal aging remained unknown. Here we show that an RNA helicase, helicase 1 (HEL-1), extends the lifespan of the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans by up-regulating the longevity transcription factor forkhead box O (FOXO). Our finding suggests that an RNA helicase can have rather specific roles in animal longevity. A number of studies show that variants of FOXO are linked to human aging and longevity. In addition, the mammalian HEL-1 homolog has been implicated in cellular aging. Thus, our work may have direct implications in mammalian aging, and the human HEL-1 homolog may work with FOXO to increase lifespan.
The homeostatic maintenance of the genomic DNA is crucial for regulating aging processes. However, the role of RNA homeostasis in aging processes remains unknown. RNA helicases are a large family of enzymes that regulate the biogenesis and homeostasis of RNA. However, the functional significance of RNA helicases in aging has not been explored. Here, we report that a large fraction of RNA helicases regulate the lifespan of Caenorhabditis elegans. In particular, we show that a DEAD-box RNA helicase, helicase 1 (HEL-1), promotes longevity by specifically activating the DAF-16/forkhead box O (FOXO) transcription factor signaling pathway. We find that HEL-1 is required for the longevity conferred by reduced insulin/insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) signaling (IIS) and is sufficient for extending lifespan. We further show that the expression of HEL-1 in the intestine and neurons contributes to longevity. HEL-1 enhances the induction of a large fraction of DAF-16 target genes. Thus, the RNA helicase HEL-1 appears to promote longevity in response to decreased IIS as a transcription coregulator of DAF-16. Because HEL-1 and IIS are evolutionarily well conserved, a similar mechanism for longevity regulation via an RNA helicase-dependent regulation of FOXO signaling may operate in mammals, including humans.

Question: Cutting cholesterol without drugs
|renkluaf - Sat Dec 08, 2007 10:58 am
I am a 56-year-old male of healthy weight, but a smoker. My doctor recently suggested taking Zocor (simvastatin) for my cholesterol (total = 219, HDL = 40, LDL = 151, Trigl = 139). I had not been exercising when tests showed those results.
I'd be interested in knowing if these numbers could be reduced to healthy levels without drugs. My diet is already pretty good. Less than 30% of my calories are from fat, my saturated-fat intake is less than 20g, and my cholesterol intake is around 20mg per day.
I'm not sure how much I could improve my diet, because the numbers already seem pretty good (although I could probably work more fiber into my diet). But are my cholesterol levels in a range that could be reduced to healthy levels through more exercise, without taking drugs?
Also, if I do try drugs, would a less-expensive statin (i.e. lovastatin or prevastatin) work just as well as simvastatin? Thank you very much.
|Dr. Chan Lowe - Sat Dec 08, 2007 2:35 pm
Hi Renklauf,
Normally, diet and exercise changes can improve cholesterol levels. For many people, this alone may simply not be enough. Often one can get about a 10% or so reduction. If the chlesterol level is 250, a 10% reduction alone is simply not enough.
In your case, your numbers are borderline so exercise may be enough. However, if you do opt for this it is important to follow up and make sure that your cholesterol has dropped sufficiently. If not, medications may still be needed.
Regarding which statin to use, all work in basically the same way. Some of the newer ones work a bit better and may have a few less side effects; however, these benefits may not be enough to be significant. I would recommend you discuss with you doctor which one would be appropriate for you.
Even if you choose to use medicines, adding exercise to your program will be beneficial. Exercise helps so many different issues with the body that you'll get benefits more than just lowering your cholesterol. Talk with your doctor before starting a new exercise program to make sure there isn't a reason not to.
Best wishes.

We think you will agree with our many positives, a few of which are:
"I am writing to express my appreciation for all that you do for us here at the Residences of Old Town Hall. We moved to Rochester in order to receive life-saving medical treatment for my husband. It was very overwhelming to leave our family and friends back in North Dakota and start all over here in Rochester. We have found not just a place to stay, but a community.
Jody has been fantastic, helping us to become oriented to the area, being friendly and available anytime we have needed anything at all. Matt is always friendly and fixes anything that needs fixing right away. Even though we have only been here for a few months, we already have a wonderful circle of friends here at Old Town Hall.
Thank you!!!"
"I have met some very nice people here. Everything is included in the rent but a phone. There is a free Walmart shuttle service. Location - close to most of the clinics, Mayo, Gonda, are all within walking distance.
The owner of the building is very nice. The manager Jody is very outgoing, very thoughtful, supporting, caring and knows all the tenants. She is willing and ready to help with any problems. Matt the maintenance man is very helpful if needed for any reason. He is a very nice young man. Very good at everything he does. "
Our building was built in 1966 by American Town Hall Meeting Association and was a senior care facility until 2001. The building was completely renovated by Jeff Allman in 2007 into the current 66 unit SRO apartment building.
SROs (Single Room Occupancy) are a viable housing option for students, single tenants, seasonal or other traveling workers, empty nester widows/widowers, or others who do not desire or require large dwellings or private domestic appliances. The smaller size of SROs generally makes them a more affordable housing option.

Patrick Kietly has reportedly dropped the big question to girlfriend Cat Deeley.
TV presenter Cat was apparently spotted this weekend sporting a diamond ring at a party with friends. The couple, who began dating earlier this year, was seen sipping champagne at the Goring Hotel in London last Sunday.
A source, who was at the hotel, said: "There was lots of congratulations and passing around of a ring, which was a rather large diamond from what I could see."
The insider described the couple as 'very happy and excited'.
Although the couple mainly kept their relationship at a low profile, the public nevertheless followed Patrick as he moved into Cat's Beverley Hills mansion in mid May this year. The two officially became known as a couple following their romantic holiday together last February. The pair debuted as a couple during the 2012 Glamour Awards in London.
Prior to meeting Cat, Patrick revealed his plans of settling down soon in an interview early in 2012: "I think that might be my New Year's resolution…to get married."
Patrick, 41, and Cat, 35, met and became close friends when they hosted 'Fame Academy', one of the original talent shows on TV, in 2002. Since Cat moved to America, she has since made a name for herself in 'So You Think You Can Dance' and 'American Idol'. She is also set to appear in a video for 'Shake It Up', a Disney Channel original series.
While the two have yet to comment, Cat did express her love for another ring on her finger on Monday. She showed a snap of an oval ring with a letter C on it; the ring was on her little finger.

General Motors Corp, which posts quarterly results, is under pressure to detail progress in its turnaround efforts as investors await a decision on a possible three-way alliance with Nissan Motor Co Ltd and Renault SA.
GM will write down costs in the second quarter associated with buyouts and early retirement offers for some 35,000 factory workers, almost a third of its blue-collar work force.
But Wall Street analysts expect investors to look beyond the costs of that massive restructuring and focus instead on the size of GM's expected operating profit, just as they did last quarter.
GM's stock gained more than 10 per cent in April when the automaker reported a first-quarter net loss of $US323 million ($A428.92 million) but excluding charges posted a profit that was stronger than expected.
For the second quarter, GM is expected to take charges of about $3.84 billion or $6.90 a share for its program of worker buyouts intended to reduce labor costs and head off the prospect of a work stoppage at supplier Delphi Corp, a bankrupt former GM subsidiary.
"Although the charge is a marker for this hugely successful program, it should be noted and forgotten, because it has no relation whatever to operations in the second quarter," Burnham Investment Research analyst David Healy said.
Chief Executive Rick Wagoner is under pressure to show improvement as GM studies a possible three-way proposal with Nissan and Renault in which the two could buy up to a 20-per cent stake in GM.
That deal, urged by GM's largest individual shareholder Kirk Kerkorian, has been widely viewed as a means of prodding Wagoner to speed the automaker's turnaround efforts after a $10.6 billion loss in 2005.
Excluding one-time items, analysts, on average, expect GM to post a second-quarter profit of 51 cents per share, according to Reuters Estimates. The range of those 14 Wall Street estimates is wide - between 29 cents per share to 80 cents per share.
GM has struggled with high labor and commodities costs, loss of US market share to foreign rivals and sluggish sales of profitable sport utility vehicles and trucks.
The automaker is in the midst of a sweeping restructuring that includes slashing 30,000 jobs and closing 12 plants. Citing progress in its turnaround efforts, GM in June increased its structural cost savings goal by the end of 2006 to $8 billion from $7 billion.
Partly in response, GM shares have risen more than 53 percent this year as investors have become less concerned about the risk of a near-term bankruptcy filing.
