Public Disclosure and Dissimulation of Insider Trades
AbstractRegulation requiring insiders to publicly disclose their stock trades after the fact complicates the trading decisions of informed, rent-seeking insiders. Given this requirement, we present an insider's equilibrium trading strategy in a multiperiod rational expectations framework. Relative to Kyle (1985), price discovery is accelerated and insider profits are lower. The strategy balances immediate profits from informed trades against the reduction in future profits following trade disclosure and, hence, revelation of some of the insider's information. Our results offer a novel rationale for contrarian trading: dissimulation, a phenomenon distinct from manipulation, may underlie insiders' trading decisions.

This furniture piece is very comparable to something you would see at IKEA. It was the right size for our bedroom so we ended up buying. Once the product came in, we realized we were in for a LOT of work. The instruction to this thing were AWFUL. It took over 12 hrs to build. The sliding drawers have 6 different allowable positions to be screwed in, but the instructions do not specify where to screw in. We had to redo steps in the instructions based on trial and error. If you need something with the exact dimensions, this may be your best option. However, if you are just buying a dresser that can range in size, it is best to stay away from this product. The instructions are awful, the material is very cheap, and the smallest things can leave scratch marks on it.
the piece is strong and looks like it. it is more "manly" looking than I had hoped. If your bedroom is has more curvy pieces, this would stand out. It is a lot of assembling. So set aside 3 hours. Once assembled, it is strong enough. My 2 year old pulls out the top drawer and dangles over the edge so he can look inside. It has held strong so far - its almost been's a year.
The pre-drilled holes are not straight, and don't line up properly, making all the drawers off center. Very time consuming to assemble.
I purchased this dresser along with 2 matching nite tables. Although it took about a month before they were delivered, I was very pleased when they arrived. Like other customers have stated, it took my husband about 6 hours to assemble the dresser with my little help, less time for the tables. They are beautiful, love the dark color and simple design, and very rich looking. The only thing that upsets me is that the price has been lowered over $*00 since I purchased this dresser.Thats a lot. I wasn't in a hurry to furnish a spare room, had I known the price would change so drastically, I could have waited.
Once the Dresser is put together, it really looks nice. However, this dresser comes in peices so it does take time and patience. If you like putting things together this is the item for you.

The modest recovery seen in Brazil's economy could be jeopardized by the marked slowdown being witnessed in China, Brazil's biggest importer, market experts have said.
Rio Times Online - September 2012
Loss of Chinese consumers means Brazilian exports pile up, which means the depreciation of value of the reais — which means the cost of living is harder on Brazilians — which means something like a little increase in bus fares is magnified and well… it's hard to tell, but we live in a connected world where the slightest imbalance can tip us into the flames.
It is interesting to see emerging markets like Brazil and Turkey rise up for different social reasons, but the day to day hardships under governments that turn a blind eye on personal expression, equitable living standards and just governance are the same. And while in the past economic hardships may bring a temporary spike in public protests, in the age of Facebook and Twitter, the levers of media control just aren't as robust for governments to clamp down any longer.
The biggest danger in a capitalist/democratic society is that the middle class lose faith in their ability to progress to the upper classes — and that their slide into the lower class gives reality to the case of the 1% haves and the 99% have nots. In the end, numbers win out and no amount of martial violence can keep the consciousness of millions of people under control.
We live in interesting times.
I am a female 39 years old lawyer. I have been there, downtown in Rio (20/06/2013), from 4:30 to 9:30 PM. There is no explanation for what is going on in Brazil. Yesterday we had about 1.4 mio people on the streets only in Rio (local media lie about the numbers - NY Times, ou should see with own eyes). There was no vandalism at all but when the people was already going home, the Gov. closed all subway stations and there was no public transportation within a radius of 20 km. The mobile thelephone lines and internet have been closed all the time. By the end of the manifest, when most people had gone and there was a small group dispersing towards the south of the city suddenly, the street lights went out. The police began to throw bombs and rubber bullet shots at random. We all turned the corrner and went to Rio Branco Av.(a great avenue that cross the protests avenue). What we've found there: more bombs coming from the beginning of Rio Branco avenue and all the side streets. Me and hundreds of people were trapped like rats in a shoebox, there was no exit, no way out. We had to run through the bullets and bombs using masks wet with vinegar. What media calls vandalism always start about 8:30 PM, behind the protest and noboy is able to come back to see. The folk already suspect that the "vandals" are people paid by the gov. to delegitimize the movement, because they always act, in all cities, at the same time and in the same manner; The police does not lead them to prison
In Argentina and Brazil, as I show in the book, inequality started to decline almost immediately once the financiers were knocked off their thrones. In Brazil the share of income passing through the financial sector was extraordinarily large, but over the course of twelve years and three presidencies, it has gradually been reduced, making room for expanded public services, improved social conditions and reduced inequality.

Small but salty pocket cruiser that spawned large dreams
I collected sailboat brochures when was I a kid. I studied boat specs like other kids studied batting averages. I remember pouring over the brochure for the West Wight Potter 19. I know, I'm no spring chicken, but the Potter 19 has been in production in one form or another since 1971. I can still clearly picture the black-and-white single fold piece with a Potter 19 on the cover clipping along in a stiff breeze. There was something alluring about the boxy little trailersailer, it looked like a real cruiser but one that even a kid could handle.
There was also something exotic about the boat, it was named after the far away Isle of Wight. I had a notion to drop out of school and sail a Potter around the world and become famous, just like Robin Lee Graham did aboard Dove. My mother, who took little pleasure in spoiling a kid's dream, did however remind me that although Potter's were cheap, they were still a lot more than I had, which was nothing. She mentioned that I could quit the track team, get a job and save money to buy the boat, a thoroughly unromantic suggestion that made the drudgery of school more tolerable. My sailing dreams would have to wait.
More than 1,600 West Wight Potter 19s have been launched during a 35-year production run. And while plenty of Potters have made impressive passages, most are sailed quietly on lakes, bays and coastline all over the country. Most importantly, they're almost universally admired by the folks who own them, and for good reason. The boat is stable in the water, it can stand up to a breeze, it's surprisingly commodious, it's easy to launch and can be trailed behind almost any vehicle. Mounted on its trailer the West Wight Potter 19 fits snugly in most garages, which eliminates the cost of dockage and winter storage.
First impressions
Designed by Herb Stewart, who originally bought the U.S. rights to the original Potter 14, the West Wight Potter 19 is a salty pocket cruiser. It was originally called the HMS 18. Steward later sold the company to Joe Edwards. Edwards decided to include the outboard motor bracket in the measurement of LOA, and suddenly the boat grew a foot and became the West Wight Potter 19. From the springy sheerline to the forward chine, the boat has the look of other small English cruisers that were popular in the 1960s and 1970s.
There isn't much overhang—the LOA is 18 feet, 6 inches and the LWL is 16 feet, 6 inches resulting in a faster boat than many suspect, at least when the wind is blowing. The retractable keel lifts vertically into the hull. When fully raised the draft is just 8 inches. Together with the kick-up rudder the boat can be sailed right up on the beach. When the 300-pound keel is fully deployed the draft is 3 feet, 7 inches, although the keel can also be trimmed to various levels. The fractional rig supports a good size main and most boats on the used market have overlapping genoas in lieu of a working jib. Despite the small size, by all accounts the Potter 19 needs a bit of breeze to get up to speed.
One of the reasons the West Wight Potter 19 and her smaller sister, the 15, have endured while other small boats and small boat builders have come and gone is that the Potters are built solidly. International Marine, which has been building the boats since the early 1990s, upgraded the construction. While all the boats have solid fiberglass hulls, International Marine switched from plywood cored decks to balsa and refined the molding process. The centerboard is a simple, dependable design with no moving parts. Closed-cell foam enclosed fore and aft makes the 19 unsinkable, a design feature that all small boats should include.
What to look for
Some owners of older, mid-1980s boats have reported slight structural problems with the centerboard trunk. Early boats and later boats had very sturdy trunks. Beefing it up with additional glass and epoxy is not an overwhelming project and to be fair, very few owners have noted this problem. There are many Potter sites online and one of the best is Judy B's West Wight Potter pages at www.blumhorst.com/potterpages. Owners discuss the good and the bad about the boats, but I must tell you there seem to be very few well-documented problems. Most Potter 19s are simply rigged and fitted out, items to watch for include all the normal age-related issues. International Marine has a good supply of applicable parts available, a big plus when buying an older used boat. Don't forget to carefully inspect the trailer too. The cost of a new trailer can spoil the savings made with a good boat buy.
On deck
The best design feature of the Potter 19 is the cockpit. Two adults have room to stretch their legs, the visibility is great and all the lines are typically led aft. The forward chine tends to deflect the water aside, keeping the cockpit relatively dry even in choppy conditions. Newer boats have a much improved nonskid pattern on deck and there are handrails on both the raised and lower sections of the cabintrunk. A husky bowsprit has always been part of the deck package and newer boats include a chain locker.
The mainsheet is a bit awkward. It angles down from the end of the boom, forcing the helmsman to keep clear. The jib sheets and the centerboard winch are well placed, making the 19 a perfect boat for sailing solo. The key to any trailerable boat is the degree of difficulty in raising the mast. The Potter 19 has an air draft of around 25 feet with a 22-foot, 6-inch mast section. Most owners report that they can be sailing in less than hour from arriving at the launching ramp. A clever mast raising system lets one person hoist the stick. Many of the used 19s on the market include CDI flexible furling on the headstay.
Down below
Lets face it, there isn't much a designer or builder can do with a 19-foot boat's interior. Still, the Potter 19 will surprise you. The headroom is just five feet but that's better than most comparably sized trailersailers. There interior includes four berths, two forward and two quarterberths aft. A galley of sorts is sandwiched between the berths with a butane stove to starboard and sink to port. One of the impressive interior features is the amount of storage. There are lockers under the berths, under the sink and stove and seat back bins as well. There really is plenty of space for comfortable weekend sailing.
Think of the Potter 19 as a campersailer. There are many accounts of Potter 19s making long cruises. I encountered a 19 in the Abacos last summer, with a crew of three adults aboard and they were spending a month cheerfully cruising the Bahamas. If a previous owner has installed opening portlights be thankful and if not, consider adding them. Ditto for the forward hatch. Two items that I'd do away with include the indoor outdoor carpeting that decorates the sole of most used 19s and the porta potty located under the forward bunk. It is not only a waste of space, it stinks, and is a pain to deal with when it's full. Consider a bucket.
New West Wight Potters come standard with five-horsepower long-shaft Tohatsu outboards. Most used boats also have five- or six-horsepower outboards, although they might be a variety of makes. Nissan seems popular on several of the boats currently on the market. An adjustable motor bracket makes the outboard more efficient in the water and easier to lift completely out of the water when sailing. Also, an electric start engine allows the possibility of charging the batteries. Many Potters have had their electrical systems upgraded and include two batteries. Small solar panels are a logical addition to keep the batteries topped.
The West Wight Potter 19 is not going to win races but nobody buys it to win races. The boat needs a bit of breeze to get moving but that's not a bad thing in a trailerable boat and conversely the 19 can carry sail when other boats are fleeing back toward the launching ramp. The hull form limits heeling and is relatively dry—hey all 19-foot boats are wet when sailing upwind in any kind of seaway—but by way of comparison the 19 is downright comfortable. Owners report speeds of 5 knots in winds of 10-knots-plus when reaching. The boat is well balanced on a reach, and most owners suggest carrying as big a headsail as you can afford. New boats come standard with an overlapping headsail, which is 110 percent. Upwind sailing is the not the Potter 19's strong suit, it doesn't like to sail much closer than 50 degrees apparent.
The West Potter 19 is an enduring favorite among small boat sailors both in England and North America. It is well built and designed, simply rigged and safe to sail in blustery conditions. There are lively owner's associations and continued support from the factory. It can be towed and launched by a compact car from virtually any ramp. And it is affordable. Used prices range from around $5,000 for the oldest models to around $12,000 for late models. What's not to like about this salty pocket cruiser?

It's true, the Potter-19 likes a good breeze, but just about any wind will move the boat.

Do you have any cash saved for a down payment? How are your credit scores? Do you have space in your monthly budget for the payment and additional costs?
We just traded-in two awful vehicles and got one brand new car. That counted as a nice down payment. I was really shocked but dealers will take almost anything.

Neighborhood Fruit: Where To Find Fruit On Public Land
Neighborhood Fruit is a Google map mashup that shows citizens of San Francisco, Seattle, and Los Angeles (as well as a growing list of other cities) where to find fruit growing on public land. In other words, fruit you can forage for yourself at no cost!
Currently, the map for San Francisco shows mostly loquats and plums, but anyone can register and add more entries to the database. Know where apple or pear trees are, or blackberry bushes? Put it on the map.
Most fruit grown in the city and in backyards goes to waste, while we buy fruit that comes from farms that are hundreds of miles from our homes - farms that require large amounts of water to produce the fruit, and gasoline to bring the fruit to us. This doesn't make sense. Let's change that.

Not too sure about the tree in Hunter's Point...
Ooooh, nifty! I really hope Google will enable personal maps in the next iPhone rev...
There are lots of loquat trees lining the sidewalks of neighborhoods surrounding downtown San Antonio. I always wondered how they came to be so widespread around there.
I am amused someone bothered to list blackberry bushes in the Seattle area. They are everywhere. If you can't find them you are not looking.
Yeah, the few little trees in Hunters Point and South Basin and the few trees in the Marina and Sea Cliff area make an interesting commentary (for those unfamiliar with the areas, Hunters Point is low-income and Sea Cliff is high income).
Mulberry Trees all over Houston and an enthusiastic husband and 3 year old, mean that my freezer is FULL of mulberries. We're really proud of ourselves - in spite of the odd looks we got in the park.


text: roads that are throughways — like, how to get from one town to another — SHOULD be open. i lived in montana in 95 and that's how it was. park entrances are closed, as are national forests and all other federally owned lands. so if it's not a through road, it could be difficult. i'd check maps to see what you're crossing (roads that cross over national forests should likely be open). other than that … i'm honestly not sure. i'd check with locals and be prepared to adjust your route accordingly.

"The haircut incident went on to become a popular-culture reference within other television shows, both comedic and dramatic. In the 30 Rock episode "The Bubble", Jenna discusses how to get her hair cut and says, "But if I make the wrong choice, I could end up like Keri Russell, Felicity, Season 2." When a girl pulls out her hair due to supernatural forces in theBuffy the Vampire Slayer episode "Where the Wild Things Are," the character Xander remarks, "People are going all 'Felicity' with their hair," while in the One Tree Hill episode "The Desperate Kingdom Of Love," when Lucas walks up to Keith at the beach, his uncle says, "Nice job, Felicity," referring to his new shorter haircut. Teen-aged Claire of the drama series,Six Feet Under tells her mother that she wants to cut off all her hair like Felicity, to which her mother replies, "Do I know her?" — Claire replies sarcastically, "Yeah, she came over for dinner once." In the 2001 sitcom Sabrina the Teenage Witch episode "Making the Grade," animosity over an exposé she had written prompts Sabrina to ask, "[W]hy is everyone looking at me like I'm the girl who told Felicity to cut her hair?" In the Gilmore Girls episode "Here comes the son", the character Paris, debating whether to follow her boyfriend to Princeton instead of going to Harvard, says, "Suddenly, I'm Felicity without the hair issues"."

We do so have those things, dummies.
Also, his brother Joe has written for The Tangential.
I've challenged myself to write on The Tangential every day this year, and sometimes it gets hard to think of new ideas. I just thought about writing something called What Does "Healthy Relationship" mean, and I was like, "Hm, maybe that would work if was writing for Concerned Mom magazine.
But that's the funny thing about writing right now, is we're all writing so fast, and for little pay, and in mass amounts, that we end up expanding the genre of what some might call "hipster twentysomething lit" into a messy bunch of other subjects. And it can get sentimental, corny, ungrammatical, badly structured. But maybe there's something a bit more organic about that sloppiness.
In marketing, we talk about the difference between striving for perfection and iterating. Making something perfet takes a long time, and produces a safe result. Iterating is fast and kinda sloppy but always measuring its impact and making minute changes to try again and again. Blog culture right now shows writing at the most iterative it's ever been.
I might write something better if I sat in my parents' basement for months crafting a novel, but writing fast every day and having the occasional piece of crap published has probably got me thinking a lot differently.
The Tangential's 30 Days of Average is a messy project I started to satirize the many self-congratulating 30 Day challenges out there, like 30 Days of Biking, 30 Days of Drawing and the most general and strange of all, Good.is' 30 Days of Good.
I try to write equally amped-up manifestos about the dumb, common denominator things we all do. Sometimes it might stray from this, but they all center on the idea of average.
today i was buying a handle of whiskey for the weekend (i mean uh, to last 3 weeks), and a girl next to me in a weird black beret asked, "rum and cokes?"
"no, whiskey."
she was blonde and freckled and looked sort of like an innocent pixie. "i've never had whiskey!"
whoa. not quite that innocent.
"i just turned 21 a year ago."
ah, she was too young … to have discovered whiskey … in the past year?
"And the last whole year I was pregnant."
Without thinking I answered, "That sucks." Felt sorta bad for not remembering that being pregnant can be a miracle or something.
"I was having my a baby for my cousin."
This made both me and the cashier pause. I thought, oh, she's a weirdo.
Then I felt bad about finding someone weird who did the noble service of carrying their cousin's baby for them. But still … she did give off a strong "weirdo" vibe.
Then I remembered hearing that pathological liars start conversations and then just spout off weirder and weirder lies because that's what pathological liars like to do.
That kinda seemed like this girl! So, today I either met a real-life pathological liar buying Miller Lite or an upstanding young woman who carried her cousin's baby and spent none of her underage years drinking whiskey.
cuz i'm my own best friend!
The other day my co-worker caught me reading an article on Thought Catalog called, "Maybe It's Time to Quit Smoking."
"I'm so happy for you!"
Then everyone else at work heard and they were all, "Finally!" (No one else there smokes and they think I'm a giant smoker even though I smoke ~10 cigarettes a day, at most.)
I felt kind of guilty because I was just reading Thought Catalog, not like About.com or WebMD or anything. Wasn't sure how to explain, "No, this is not a self-help article, it's a moody creative non-fiction piece" so I just let it go.
But the truth is, I was kind of thinking about quitting.
Then I got real poor this week and decided to try it. I think the best way to motivate myself is to think these things:
-This is like giving myself a $50/month raise.
-Smoking makes me feel kind of dizzy.
-Smoking makes my lungs kind of hurt when I do it too much.
-No matter how addicted I get, it still grosses me out a bit.
So wish me luck.
Note: I will still be smoking when I drink. That is a fact of life.

In case you don't know, I blog often for my workplace, Zeus Jones. I usually write about technology, design and the occasional marketing thingy that I want to think about.
I was excited to move to Tumblr because it's more of a community, and I can more easily post lots of the cool design inspirations I look at every day.
Like this:
Check it out.
Mom: Why don't they have a goth doll? how cute would that be? It could have skull shirts!
Krissy: They could have an amputee doll.
Mom: Oh yeah and one with facial hair! What if she had a little Hitler beard and you could press a button on her to make it disappear?
Me: What about a doll with prematurely huge boobs?
Mom: Or a Kim Kardashian doll. It could have a big, chunky butt with mysteriously disappearing cellulite that you could control with just a button.
Krissy: What about an androgynous doll? Is it a girl? A boy? Nobody knows!
my mom had to hide this record cover from me because i was so scared of it.
I thought this robot was legit going to grab me from my bed while i was asleep.
I was basically terrified of Queen in general.
I felt like "We will rock you" and "Another one bites the dust" were aggressive, violent songs.
I didn't know Queen was gay. I thought they were jacked dudes who really liked it when the home team creamed the competition.
My copy of Derrida's "Writing and Difference" is studiously dog-eared and scrupulously annotated; there are excited check-marks of assent next to passages that I can no longer make head or tail of, and probably understood little better at the time. The sentence "Now, stricto sensu, the notion of structure refers only to space, geometric or morphological space, the order of forms and sites" is doubly underlined and asterisked—search me why.
I took a grad course in semiotics in college because I was really into language and symbolism, or so I thought. It turned out that it wasn't really about linguistics, learning foreign languages or science at all. It was about European dudes writing insane, indecipherable but highly dramatic, pun-filled prose. I eventually gave up on reading the coursework.
I do remember thinking that Derrida was a lot easier to understand than Lacan, though.
Props to this writer for saying how mostly worthless this education was, in the long run.

This area is choc full of great gastro pubs but this is fast becoming our favourite.
Nestled on the corner of St Peter's Square, you couldn't wish for more lovely surroundings. It's just off King St which isn't the most promising, but St Peter's Square is a picture of Georgian loveliness with its park in the middle of the square which is open to all.
The Carpenters is almost more of a restaurant than a pub now really but they keep the tables to the outside walls which means you get lots of space. And there's a charming garden outside to sit at too.
The menu includes favourites like fish and chips, fish pie and hamburger, but they also do lovely sharing plates - the mezze is excellent - salt beef hash and more seasonal stuff like guinea fowl. It's a menu where they are clearly stretching themselves but all the dishes come out great.
The fish pie is perfect. Big chunks of cod and salmon with prawns and peas adding a nice bite and a lovely white sauce. It is served in a pretty bowl and topped with lashings of potato and cheese. A real winner.
The bar people are all friendly and check this out, they serve Addlestones cider. Liquid marajuana the old man used to call it. It tastes like apple juice but after three you know it is nothing of the sort.
We've never had a bad meal here and it's a great place to sit and while away a Sunday making the papers they provide mucky with your food spillage. Rather their Observer than your Sunday Sport innit?
Quality tucker in classy surroundings. There's plenty of choice around these parts but this is top three material.
"the local"
Another local pub near the office. We come here often for drinks and for lunch. On the vegetarian side, the food leaves a little to be desired. I'm not a huge fan of the pasta or other dishes I've tried, and it seems a little pricey for lunch.
All that said, the staff is very nice and it's a great place to grab after work drinks if that's what you're in for. There's a nice back patio if it's nice out... and they rarely kick you out for making too much noise ;).
Is it a pub or is it a restaurant, from outside it looks very much like a pub but when you step inside you feel like you are in a restaurant. Well arranged tables and chairs gives it the feel of an eatery, the only thing giving it away is the pumps on the bar that encourage you to stay and that it is indeed a pub.
Great quality food is the main attraction however and I feel it lacks a pub feel and for that reason I wouldn't become the local pub. British food all the way with quail, haddock etc and a good wine list if not a little pricey.
I am told that it is owned by a well know news reader who lives locally and who purchased it to save it from extinction. Not totally sure on that one but the place certainly works from a food perspective. Lovely garden which you may be evicted to if you are not eating as preference is not for drinkers when the food is in demand.
Bit of a clash between food and pub, I guess you are welcome if they don't have many food bookings and put up with if they are busy.
I love this place, the food is great, and the staff efficient and courteous. They have a heater under the large garden umbrella for the smokers to keep warm. Inside the table layout is has enough space to feel comfortable, whilst not having to hear other peoples conversation. Consistently good, treat yourself, but book ahead.
Exceptionally good food in this smallish, intimate pub. Very popular especially on the weekends so book ahead, the food is modern British, not a huge selection on the menu so if you are with fussy eaters phone ahead - but the food has always been extremely good everytime I've visited, with good service and a nice atmosphere.

That should look very nice... What are you thinking for the handle Randy?
I have a piece of rosewood burl selected for it. :)
Freaking HOT Randy. Your work is just so creative.
I wonder if someday you'll offer a production mid-tech in decent mono-steel/HT/Grind, w/ modest HHH handle, so that more of us mortals would be able to add one of yours to our rack? 210 would be a very popular size or home cooks like me. Just a thought.
Either way, thanks for all the knifee-goodness you bring to our Forum!
Looks beautiful Randy. What's the core steel? That rosewood burl looks like it came from another planet
Rosewood comes in burls?:dazed: Mind....Blown.
How much does a chunk like that cost? It's like making a handle out of unicorn horn.
Also, as a curious wood geek, what kind of rosewood?
I know, As a BURL JUNKY!! its gota be in my top 3 favorite woods!! This piece is Honduran rosewood and to say they are a exceptional example of the species would be a huge understatement! :D

I'm sure you already realize as a blogger, one of the very first things you want to do, is establish yourself as an expert in your field. The best way to do is, obviously, through sharing industry trade secrets people can take advantage of and benefit from. The thing is, however, too many bloggers I come across treat their readers like idiots…
When They See it !
They're so stuck on the "fake it until you make it" mentality that they'll do whatever it takes to seem competent even though they actually don't know what they're talking about. They try to share tactics they've read about somewhere, they're literally unable to come up with anything original because they don't have enough experience, they teach strategies they think work, but have never tried, because…
If They Make Sense,
They Must Work,
Right ?
Nope. If you want to share trade secrets effectively, there are a few things you want to keep in mind, or you'll end up shooting yourself in the foot. Listen up.
1. No Rehashed Crap
You know how it works. Some random Guru shares a cool little trick that sounds good, you rip it off and blog about it as if it's your own idea. When you do, your blog screams plagiarism, your visitors see it, and…
They Never
Come Back !
2. Share What Actually Works
Every market has thought leaders who, for the most part, have earned position through years of hard work, so you should respect them. That doesn't mean, however, you should take their every word for granted. Instead, you should make sure as you learn and grow your business, you test.
Why ?
Because if you personally test something and achieve good results from it, then you know it works. What's more, as you test, you have total control over the conditions the test was conducted in (something people don't really reveal well.) Lastly, as you go through the process of testing, you'll have discoveries you'll be able to test as well, and as you do…
You'll Have Even More
Trade Secrets to Share !
3. Be Precise
A little while ago, I told you sometimes people don't give you all the details you need to repeat the success they enjoy. There often seems to be something missing. You don't want to be that way. While I know most of the people sharing secrets and test results don't really want to hide valuable information intentionally, they often do so unintentionally (due to lack of planning or thinking it takes to break the process down effectively.) If you have a valuable secret to share…
Be Sure Everything is
Broken Down and
Actionable !
When you create your post, just ask yourself this question: Are my readers able to take what I shared with them and get good, measurable results? If the answer is yes, you're good. If it's any different, edit and rewrite, until it actually is yes.

4. Don't Tease Without Providing Real Value
Sharing trade secrets is an awesome way to get people to buy from you as it boosts your credibility like nothing else. You have to make sure you do it right, however, and the right way to do this isn't sharing half the story for free and forcing your readers to buy your product for the rest of the story. Sure, you'll make some money if you do, but it'll actually…
Hurt Your Business
in the Long Run !
5. Wait Until You're Ready
If you're just starting out as a blogger, and really don't know the market all that well, you should hold up with sharing trade secrets. As you develop and learn, and as you test new things, you'll naturally learn insider information people will be stoked to hear. That takes time, however, and really shouldn't be rushed. It is much better for you to be genuine and honest, than it is to share trade secrets you stole from someone else (more on that later.) Your reputation is all your readers have to hold on to when they decide to buy something you've promoted, and if your reputation is ruined…
You'll Have a Hard Time
Selling Anything !
6. You Don't Matter
The one mistake people frequently make when sharing a strategy or a tip is focusing on themselves. They tell the readers what game they're playing when they came up with their idea, what time it was, what they had for lunch the next day, or how many times they went to the bathroom before…
They Implemented
the Idea !
Of course I am exaggerating to illustrate my point, but you know what I am trying to get at, right? This whole thing is not about you it's about your readers and how what you found out can help them. Some unrelated details will make the writing more interesting and fun, but don't overdo it. Again, as you write about your secret, be precise and specific, and make sure your readers have all they need to be able to…
Your Success !
7. Thou Shalt Not Steal
Sometimes, as you research and learn about your market, you'll come across a great test you'll be dying to share with your readers. There's nothing wrong with that, as long as you actually test the process yourself and share the source of the original idea. Do not pretend it's your idea, because it's not, and if you're open about it…
Your Readers Will Appreciate
Your Honesty !
So, there you go, the 7 things you must know if you want to share trade secrets effectively. They've become my second nature, and I know you'll do well if you keep them in mind before you share your next top secret strategy. What do you think? Feel free to share more trade secret tips below. I am looking forward to learning from you.
Be Secretly,

Dear God,
I give this day to You.
May my mind stay centered on the things of spirit.
May I not be tempted to stray from love.
As I begin this day, I open to receive You.
Please enter where You already abide.
May my mind and heart be pure and true, and may I not deviate from the things of goodness.
May I see the love and innocence in all mankind, behind the masks we all wear and the illusions of this worldly plane.
I surrender to You my doings this day.
I ask only that they serve You and the healing of the world.
May I bring Your love and goodness with me, to give unto others wherever I go.
Make me the person You would have me be.
Direct my footsteps, and show me what You would have me do.
Make the world a safer, more beautiful place.
Bless all Your creatures.
Heal us all, and use me, dear Lord, that I might know the joy of being used by You.

Do you go to the gym and do the same cardio routine every time? Do you always do the same boring thing on the same machine - without achieving the results that you want?
Here are three different cardio plans for beginners, intermediate and advanced levels that are designed to keep your body guessing the entire time you're working out. The result will be a stronger, fitter body.
While I was on a walk yesterday with my Health Coach friend, Emily, I discovered that she loves Epsom Salt baths just as much as I do. This turned into a 30-minute conversation about Epsom Salts and the power of magnesium for health and healing.
When we put our heads together and shared what we know about this inexpensive soaking solution, we were amazed by all of the super powers that this green-and-white-$5.99-milk-container contains…
Why am I soaking in Magnesium?
I injured my back last October and can't figure out how to heal it. I used to be very, very active and was running, boxing, interval training and doing everything under the sun until one day, while I was running on the beach (on my honeymoon actually), I felt a sudden pain in my lower back. It began to escalate from there.
Since that time I have needed to transition my high intensity work out routines to more gentle, stretching, and relaxation exercises - totally not my style. And wow has this been challenging and good for me… more to come on this…
See the article "11 Miraculous Ways Magnesium Heals Your Mind & Body" that Emily sent me on Magnesium below…
Just came across this article on my FB feed!
11 Miraculous Ways Magnesium Heals Your Mind & BodyI could easily write a whole book on Magnesium and its very powerful healing properties. Indeed, many books have been dedicated to the subject, and I encourage everyone to read them.As a yoga therapist that has worked for many years using yoga postures and natural remedies to heal, Magnesium is always the first supplement I suggest. In a moment, you'll understand why.If you think that the amount of Magnesium you obtain from your food is sufficient without supplementation, then I would say thinking is for people who don't know. Be sure by having it tested. And when you do have it tested, aim to have optimum levels of Magnesium, not just meeting the minimum.Remember that even organic soils are depleted of minerals. And non-organic farming has virtually no nutrients in it. Furthermore, there are many ways in which Magnesium is lost from the body, e.g. alcohol, coffee, black tea, grains, soy, most pharmaceutical drugs, calcium supplements.Regular supplementation is a reliable way to boost your magnesium levels. For more information on what kinds of magnesium supplements are well absorbed and utilized, see my website.Benefits of Magnesium:1. Better sleep - The sleep regulating hormone melatonin is disturbed when Magnesium is deficient. Furthermore, Magnesium brings balance and controls stress hormones. Stress and tension are often reasons why people suffer from insomnia in the first place.2. Relaxes the nervous system - Serotonin, which relaxes the nervous system and elevates mood, is dependent on Magnesium.3. Bigger, stronger muscles - Magnesium allows the body to produce more Insulin-like Growth Factor (IGF-1), which is a major contributor to the growth and strength of muscles. Furthermore, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the cell's energy store, and is created with help from Magnesium.4. Better flexibility - Magnesium loosens tight muscles. Without Magnesium, muscles do not relax properly and cramps occur. Magnesium is important for flexibility, because low Magnesium results in a buildup of lactic acid, causing pain and tightness.5. Bone integrity and strength - Magnesium helps to fix calcium properly. It may blow some people's mind that the calcium supplements they're taking are not only useless, but are actually contributing to osteoporosis! There are actually about eighteen essential nutrients that contribute to bone health; Magnesium is definitely one of the most essential, because it stimulates a particular hormone called calcitonin. And, it also suppresses a hormone called parathyroid that breaks down bone.6. Remineralizes teeth - Magnesium deficiency causes an unhealthy balance of phosphorous and calcium in saliva, which damages teeth.7. Alkalizes the body - Magnesium helps return the body's pH balance. Magnesium reduces lactic acid, which is partly responsible for post-exercise pain (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness).8. Hydrates - Magnesium is a necessary electrolyte essential for proper hydration.9. Helps to relieve constipation - Magnesium can be used to cleanse the bowels of toxins.10. Enzyme function - Enzymes are protein molecules that stimulate every chemical reaction in the body. Magnesium is required to make hundreds of these enzymes work and assists with thousands of others.11. Diabetes - Magnesium enhances insulin secretion, which facilitates sugar metabolism. Without Magnesium, glucose is not able to transfer into cells. Glucose and insulin build up in the blood, causing various types of tissue damage, including the nerves in the eyes.There are many other benefits of Magnesium: It helps prevent stroke, heart disease, period pain, and more. You can check out my website for further information on Magnesium and how exactly to increase magnesium levels effectively.

Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan. Add the onions, celery and garlic and saute until the onions are almost translucent. Add the basil and stir. Add crushed tomatoes and water simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding parsley near end of cooking time. Set aside. Filling 10 ounces or about 4 cups fresh spinach, stemmed and finely chopped 2 cups coarsely grated mozzarella cheese or grated provolone cheese 1/2 cup freshly grated sharp Parmesan or Romano cheese 3 pounds of ricotta cheese 1/4 tsp. nutmeg 2 eggs 2 Tbsp. finely chopped parsley (optional) salt and freshly ground pepper to taste In a large mixing bowl, combine filling ingredients. Preheat oven to 350 F degrees. Spread a cup or two of sauce over the bottom of a large shallow glass baking dish. To assemble: Place a large spoonful or two of the filling on each crespelle and roll it up. Place the filled pancakes, folded side down, close together in a single layer in the baking pan. Cover the crespelle with a generous amount of tomato sauce. Bake for about 30 minutes or until the manicottis are piping hot throughout. Heat remaining sauce. Serve the crespelle hot from the oven. Pass the tomato sauce. Crespelles 4 eggs 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 1/4 cup water 1 cup milk 1/4 tsp. salt vegetable oil or melted butter (about 1/4 cup) for cooking the crepes In mixing bowl, beat eggs with a whisk. Combine milk and water and stir into eggs with whisk. Add the flour gradually, while stirring with the whisk. The batter should be smooth and fairly thin. Add water if the batter seems thicker than heavy cream. Add salt; stir. Set the batter aside to rest for at least 30 minutes. Heat a 7 or 8-inch crepe pan or small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Brush lightly with melted butter or oil. Add about 3 tablespoon of batter. As soon as the batter is in the pan, swirl and tilt the pan until the batter coats the bottom of the pan with a thin layer. Work quickly doing this so the batter spreads out before it starts to cook. Cook on one side for about 30 seconds or until set, then turn the crepe over using a spatula and flip it over to cook the other side just a few seconds. Make crepes one at a time, brushing the skillet lightly with melted butter before each is made. Slide out of pan, onto a plate and stack with wax paper between them if they stick. It may take a couple attempts before they start turning out right. Crespelle can be made one or two days in advance and refrigerated, or frozen. This recipe makes about 30 - 40 crepes.

Twister - I know it's not a Halloween movie, but still...it scared the hell out of me. I was five when this movie came out, and my mom surprisingly let me watch it. Where I grew up, there were hardly any tornadoes, but it's a whole 'nother story here in the south. Scarred for life.

Transfer orbits for dummies! A hillbilly tutorial.

I regard Robert A. Heinlein as one of the greatest science-fiction writers ever. His science was as meticulous as his stories were fun to read. Someone who didn't have a scientific background might think he was only "hand-waving" at number-crunching that he had not actually done. On the contrary; he did it. He just didn't flaunt it.
A good example of his low-profile diligence is the celestial mechanics that forms part of the story of his novel
The Rolling Stones.
In order to get the full picture of the world behind this story, one would also need to read two other books, namely
The Moon is a Harsh Mistress
The Cat Who Walked Through Walls.
Here's some historical background. Hazel Meade Stone was born on 25 Dec 2063, and, as is chronicled in
The Moon is a Harsh Mistress
she fought the evil Terran military goons with great distinction during the Earth-Moon War of 2076. She later married Slim Lemke. Their children were Roger (b. 22 Sep 2078, an early first child) and Ingrid (born later).
Roger Stone (family name taken from his mother?) married Edith (maiden name unknown) while he was mayor of Luna City (2122-2130). Their children were Meade (b. 2130), the twins Castor and Pullox (b. 2133), and Lowell (b. 2144).
The Rolling Stones
opens, it is early to mid-2148. Castor and Pullox are both 15, however
well-educated by our standards today, especially in mathematics. The twins plan to buy a spaceship and fly off to the asteroid belt, there to make a fortune mining high-grade metal ore. But their father gets wind of the plan and scotches it. The idea of an extended family outing in a larger, more expensive space yacht takes root, however, and before long Roger, assisted by Hazel (who knows how to arm-twist spaceship merchants), has bought a spaceship and is calling himself 'Captain.'
After some harranguing, the ship is named "The Rolling Stone," and Mars is selected as the first destination because the launch window for the minimum energy trajectory from Earth to Mars will soon be open.
In fact, that's quite correct. It opened (in the real world "will open") for departure from Earth around September 2148.
There is a valid transfer orbit, an ellipse with perihelion at departure (6 September 2148), from Earth to Mars, with a transit time of 259 days, with arrival occuring on 23 May 2149. The heliocentric longitude of Earth at departure will be 341.69 degrees; that of Mars at departure will be 23.76 degrees; and that of Mars at arrival will be 152.08 degrees.

The "departure" is really the thrust applied near Earth after having dropped toward perigee from the moon, so probably another half kilometer per second (or thereabout) may be needed.

TEAMS: New York Mets, Washington Nationals
TEAMS: New York Mets, Washington Nationals
In Saturday's 4-3 win over the Marlins, R.A. Dickey delivered another spectacular performance for the Mets and improved his record to 19-6 while lowering his ERA to a league leading 2.66 for the season. Dickey became the fifth pitcher in franchise history to win 19 games, throw 220 innings and strikeout 200 or more in a single season, joining the elite company of Tom Seaver, Dwight Gooden, Jerry Koosman and David Cone as the only other Mets pitchers ever to accomplish the feat. Something that has been getting very little attention in what has been a magical season for Dickey, is the real possibility that he could win the National League's Pitching Triple Crown. The Mets undisputed ace already leads the league with a 2.66 ERA as mentioned previously. But in addition to that, he currently leads the NL in strikeouts with 206, and is only one victory behind Gio Gonzalez who has already reached the 20 win plateau. Winning Pitching's Triple Crown is not impossible for Dickey, and with tw...

Build an Outdoor Bowling Alley
Du Côté de Chez Vous
The design for this alley makes it viable for a backyard, since it's easily put together and taken apart for storage. No need to turn your entire yard into the local bowling alley! The tutorial for this project is quite thorough — it's in French, but with a little Google translate and the excellent drawings that accompany the instructions, you should be fine.

good idea
Yay! How fun. At our old house there was a little bowling alley in the basement that had been installed by previous owners, and I loved it. I miss it now that we've moved.
Leroy Merlin is like Home Depot in France
Cute idea!
If I was going to the effort I'd prefer to put in a bocce court. I'm (probably unfairly) having a visceral reaction against the thought of a bowling alley in my backyard.
Love it!

Zach Arnold Joins Press Row
Every Wednesday, Administrative Editor Jordan Breen welcomes a member of the mixed martial arts media into "Press Row" on the Sherdog.com blog. This week, Breen is joined by FightOpinion.com founder Zach Arnold.
Following the latest high-profile dismissals and shakeups within the California State Athletic Commission, Breen and Arnold analyze the players involved, their misdeeds and how they have impacted the recent climate of MMA and boxing within the state. The two analyze how failures to properly supervise fighters, drug test, retain medical and licensing documents, and other basic clerical duties have created a state of anarchy and irresponsibility within the state.
The two also analyze recent ticket selling scams and shady promotions in the state that have flown under the radar and opine on how these outcomes could stunt the growth of Californian prizefighting prospects.

Contributing writer 2003-2005
Film editor 2005-present
In my beginning is my end
—T.S. Eliot
I wish I could say that L.A. Weekly and I were born under the same sign. In fact, my own entry into this world, in April 1978, preceded the paper's by nearly eight months to the day. And somehow, in the peculiar logic of time, this makes me "young" — or at least young enough to still be periodically referred to as a "young film critic" — and the Weekly old, which is to say old enough to have weathered multiple regime changes and seismic shifts in the culture at large, and to have amassed an illustrious history of "past" writers and bygone "good old days" spoken of (by some who were there and many who were not) with misty eyes and in hallowed tones. Yet as the two of us — the paper and I — enter our fourth decade, it is another 30 whose numeric significance hangs in the air like a thick mist. It is the "—30—" that holds a special meaning to those in the world of journalism, the one that once upon a time followed the last line of a writer's unedited copy, the one that signifies the end.
How strange it is to be writing about the legacy of a newspaper in general and its film criticism in particular at a moment when both things seem headed the way of the dinosaur, or at least the bald eagle. This is not exactly news: Since 2006, Sean P. Means of The Salt Lake Tribune has been keeping a running tally on (where else?) his blog of fellow print critics who have been "laid off, bought out, retired or reassigned." He's up to 33 as of this writing — a roster that includes Bob Ross of The Tampa Tribune, the first person I ever knew personally who made his living from writing about movies; Lance Goldenberg of Weekly Planet (née Creative Loafing), who hired me to write capsule reviews when I was still in high school; and my esteemed Village Voice Media colleagues Dennis Lim, Rob Nelson and Nathan Lee. Means has collectively dubbed them "the departed," and the same could be said about an alarming number of entire news outfits that have either reduced their publication cycle, gone Web-only or shuttered entirely.
So I begin on a note of funereal obsolescence at what was surely meant to be a joyous celebration, and for this I apologize. For there is much to celebrate about the Weekly turning 30, even if most of it demands a feat of archaeological excavation that might leave Indiana Jones winded. In its present incarnation, our cyberspace avatar, laweekly.com, dates back only to 1998, leaving fully 20 years of Weekly musings and misgivings unaccounted for. To explore those, you must make a trip to the central branch of the Los Angeles Public Library, or spend several days ensconced in the small storage room in the Weekly offices, where the walls are lined with yellowing newsprint and the drawers spill over with reels of 35 mm microfilm. It's there that many of the real goodies lie.
This would seem the sensible place to segue into a brief history of L.A. Weekly film reviewers, except that it's already been done — by my partner in criticism Ella Taylor, who writes in this very issue about her own two decades of Weekly memories, and by my predecessor Manohla Dargis, who penned a thorough chronology for our 20th-anniversary edition (an article that, mercifully, does exist on the Web, and which I urge you to read). In it, Dargis says that, initially, she had considered writing only about the Weekly's very first film editor and critic, Michael Ventura, whom she goes on to hail as "one of the great unknowns of American film criticism." With that in mind, allow me to humbly pick up where Dargis left off.
It isn't just that Ventura, who also co-founded the Weekly, was the best the paper has ever seen, though he arguably was; it's that he also seems a representative figure — someone who, in his body of work, and often in a single article, epitomized everything that the Weekly film pages have ever aspired to. That is to say that Ventura — and his excellent co-critic and co-editor Ginger Varney — wrote with a passion, engagement and intelligence that even by the considerably higher standards of that era are bracing to behold. These are "reviews" less concerned with matters of plot, acting and direction (all generally cited circumspectly, if at all) than with the deeper truths movies can sometimes hold and the bold-faced lies they frequently peddle.
This is writing with the urgent force of the late Manny Farber — free of facile conclusions and snap judgments; writing in which every opinion seems to have been carefully considered before pen was ever set to paper, only to then be rethought, revised, refined as the sentences unfurled; writing that convinces you the movies under discussion really matter, in part because movies did matter more back then, and in part because writing like this helped make them matter. Simply put, and with due apologies to William Blake, if you were to see the world of Weekly film criticism in a grain of sand, that grain would be Michael Ventura.

The only positive is the smell. Other than that the oil is not viscous or tacky. In the hot AZ weather when my bike is left in the garage I find .a pool of oil on the ground. At first I thought I had a counter shaft seal leak but it is actually the filter oil dripping off of the filter and down the side of my bike. I don't over oil, in fact I probably under oil my filters. This is the only oil I have used that does this. The can also shoots a steady pin point stream that is hard to coat the filter with. Should be a wide stream to coat more easilyRead All Reviews

Ralph Lauren's Photoshop Retouch Disaster
Reason number #3843 on the list of why our daughters struggle with body image.
At first, the Ralph Lauren photo advertising their Blue Label line of jeans appeared on a website called Photoshop Disasters. And rightfully so. The body of 23-year-old French-Swedish model Filippa Hamilton depicted in the photo doesn't occur in nature. The proportions are more similar to a freakish Barbie doll than a human. To get Hamilton's "uber-skeletal look," the image was probably modified using a Photoshop function called the "Liquify Tool," or more accurately, the "Anorexic Tool."
Then the blog Boing Boing took up the cause and posted a criticism of the image with the caption, "Dude, her head's bigger than her pelvis!" It sure looks that way, especially when you take a gander of another shot of Hamilton in tank-top, suspenders, and normal-sized head.
The skinny on the situation is this: Ralph Lauren's lawyers demanded that Boing Boing take the image down. Boing Boing refused, citing that the post fell under the
definition of fair use: "for purposes such as criticism, comment, news
Momlogic contacted Ralph Lauren's reps for comment. Here's what they had to say:
"For over 42 years, we have built a brand based on quality and integrity. After further investigation, we have learned that we are responsible for the poor imaging and retouching that resulted in a very distorted image of a woman's body. We have addressed the problem and going forward will take every precaution to ensure that the caliber of our artwork represents our brand appropriately."
Do you think Ralph Lauren is just sorry they got caught for publishing this photo manipulation mess, or was it just an honest mistake?
Fantastic post! This could support plenty of folks discover out about this matter. Do you wish to incorporate video clips along with these? It could undoubtedly help out. Your cause was spot on and owing to you; I probably will not have to explain all the things to my pals. I can merely direct them here. Anyway, in my language, there should not much good supply like this.
Howdy, i learn your weblog occasionally and that i own a similar one and i was just wondering if you get loads of spam feedback? If that's the case how do you forestall it, any plugin or anything you possibly can advise? I get a lot lately it's driving me mad so any help may be very a lot appreciated. Anyway, in my language, there usually are not a lot good supply like this.
Took me time to read all the feedback, however I really loved the article. It proved to be very useful to me and I am positive to all the commenters here! It is always good when you cannot only learn, but additionally engaged! I am certain you had pleasure writing this article. Anyway, in my language, there usually are not much good source like this.
Wonderful information here. This fascinating put up made me smile. Perhaps for those who throw in a couple of footage it would make the entire thing more interesting. Anyway, in my language, there aren't much good source like this.
Thank you for the sensible critique. Me & my neighbour were preparing to do a little analysis about that. We bought a very good e-book on that matter from our local library and most books the place not as influensive as your information. I am very glad to see such information which I was searching for a long time.This made very glad! Anyway, in my language, there usually are not a lot good supply like this.
