Categories Comments Campus Safety It seems like a nice, quite campus. From appearance, it seems safe.
Clubs and Activities I am not yet familiar with them.
Great for these types of students Anyone that would like to get their general studies completed without paying the top dollar should look at this school.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus I am not aware of any.
Bang for the buck You really can't beat the prices here!
What to do for fun Go to Virginia Tech football games! Swimming or fishing in local lakes or watersports are all fun.
Academic Rigor This school has some good programs on an associate level. It seems to be a great, affordable school for general studies, also.
Tips for prospective students Apply for scholarships and grants ahead of time! Do not worry so much about not knowing who or what you want to become. Enjoy your time instead of stressing it.
In three sentences New River is a friendly local college. They seem to care about the students and have individuals on hand to help guide you through the process. I feel that I will enjoy my time at this school.

Categories Comments Campus Safety There are a few security guards, the campus is pretty small and I haven't heard of anything happening there.
Clubs and Activities I personally have not participated in any.
Great for these types of students Great for students who enjoy smaller classrooms with more interaction with the teacher, and also great for students who want to take classes from home.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The campus is split in two locations. The main location is in Dublin while the second location is the New River Valley Mall in Christiansburg. You have to pay close attention when you are signing up for classes so that you don't accidentally sign up for a class in Dublin and one following in Christiansburg in 10 minutes...when it takes at least 20 minutes to get there.
What to do for fun 2 pool tables, ping pong, 61 television (you can bring your own gaming console), weekly activities, clubs, sports
Food and Dining N/A Only food here is vending machines.
Dorm Life N/A There are no dorms at this college.
Academic Rigor It's challenging but not to the point where the work is impossible to do. Keeps you interested.
Tips for prospective students Time management, just because you don't have a deadline soon doesn't mean you have no work to do.
In three sentences Small college classes. Wide variety of online courses available. Staff eager to help.

Categories Comments Campus Safety There is Campus Security, NRCC is located in a small town and is safe.
Greek Life None
Clubs and Activities Church Activities
Great for these types of students Community activities, volunteer, etc.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Graduation Day, everyone is welcome!
Bang for the buck Attending a Community College is less expensive, however there will always be unexpected expenses. I have had to sit in the library and check the text book out for two hours ( that is the library allows) and do my homework.
What to do for fun Take a yoga class, or maybe some other form of exercise to release stress.
Food and Dining None
Dorm Life None
Academic Rigor The wonderful choice of deciding to go to a Community College is that you will recieve the same academic choices in class selection, as a four year institution. Your Professor will be there for you, there are also tutoring assistance sights.
Tips for prospective students Maked sure you talk to your Professors, they are there to help you, use your time wisely.
In three sentences Currently, I am a full-time student enrolled in New River Community College majoring in Information Technology. I decided to attend a Community College, for several reasons the main being the difference in cost of tuition versus a four year University. Community Colleges are less expensive and the classrooms have fewer students in each class so the instructor has more time to give that a student that one on one time that may be needed.

Categories Comments Campus Safety I feel very safe on campus.
Clubs and Activities I hear that there some clubs to join and sports to go to where they compete against other community colleges.
Bang for the buck I believe that it will be an absolutely great education for the price. Great transition from high school.
Food and Dining In Dublin there is not much food court and study area. However at the mall site there is a lot of food options to choose from since it is right next door to the mall food court.
Dorm Life There are no dorms on campus.
Tips for prospective students I believe that any student that wants to start off at a smaller school should absolutely consider New River.
In three sentences This is a very nice and small school, with an extremely nice and helpful staff willing and ready to help any perspective students. I cannot wait to start my college career at New River, knowing that I will be well treated. I love the aspect of the small classes and a closer relationship with the teachers.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Luckily at the mall site you also have Mall Cops!
Great for these types of students Working students and/or students planning on transferring to VT
Bang for the buck WAY cheaper than taking courses at nearby VT and they transfer!
What to do for fun Just school. I know there's some programs but for me.. it's all about getting a degree
Food and Dining Food court at the mall makes it nice.
Academic Rigor Harder then most community college programs since the professors are Virginia Tech affliates
Tips for prospective students Lots of the teachers also work or have worked for Virginia Tech. The programs are hard and just like a bigger school they sometimes try to weed out students. Just stick it out... it gets better.
In three sentences Nice school. Lots of distance ed options and with the Mall Site in Christiansburg, I don't have to drive all the way to Dublin. Very Nice!

Food and Dining Nearby Radford has lots of cute little restaurants with a variety of fare available!
Tips for prospective students Have questions?? Don't be afraid to ask!
In three sentences NRCC has a warm and welcoming staff. They have a great selection of classes both in-person and on-line. I found the counselors well informed and helpful.

Categories Comments Campus Safety There have been a few safety issues on campus and they were handled in a very timely and professional manner!!
Great for these types of students This college is great for a variety of students! This is a very diverse campus but it is also small so it allows you to get to know everyone for who they truly are!
What to do for fun On campus I enjoy taking part in fundraisers that are offered through my degree (Human Services) as well as interacting with the other students on campus. Outside of school I enjoy horseback riding, working out and spending time with the people that mean the most to me.
Food and Dining There are vending machines that provide small meals as well as snacks. The bookstore on the main campus also has coffee and snacks to purchase. The satellite site offered in Christiansburg is within a mall so there is a food court close by.
Academic Rigor The academic rigor within New River Community College is challenging but not difficult. The professors push you to make your experience worth while but are also very open to struggles you may be having and ways to improve them.
Tips for prospective students Go in with a positive attitude and be willing to have class discussions! This college is very into the students opinions both in and out of the class settings.
In three sentences New River Community College is a small campus with usually no more than 40 students per class. It is very welcoming and you will have a relationship with both the other students and the professors. I have never felt judged or out of place by anyone on campus!

Categories Comments Campus Safety There are security guards that patrol the Dublin campus, which also includes the parking lots (don't forget your parking pass!) The mall site has their own security guards but should check in on the college side of the mall more often than they do.
Bang for the buck Price is still great for in-state tuition but financial aid does not cover a lot of it if you only want to take 2 or 3 classes.
What to do for fun There are always events going on every week. Ben Kramer send weekly notices about what will be going on in advance so you can plan to participate. Bake sales are also a great way to network with other students and get a affordable on-campus lunch.
Food and Dining There is not too many options for food but the vending machines are always stocked with snacks and drinks. Vending machines with microwavable meals are also on site.
Dorm Life There are no on-campus housing options but the apartments close to the college are reasonably priced. Since NRCC serves local students, most are already living in the area but would be nice to see some housing close to campus for anyone who isn't from the area.
Academic Rigor Professors are knowledgeable in the material they teach and will always have an interest in making sure the students can learn the material and be available during office hours.
Tips for prospective students Look into transfer programs to Virginia universities. Four-year colleges look favorably at students who attend Virginia community colleges before transferring their college.
In three sentences Great college with two sites for students who do not want to travel very far. Professors are willing to work with you as long as you show up and are interested in learning the material. Computers are available to use when computer class labs are not in session; always a plus when you forget to bring your laptop!

Tips for prospective students Sign up for classes as early as possible.
In three sentences NRCC is effective. They are helpful with questions or concerns. NRCC is accessible.

Report: Nash could miss up to four weeks with fracture
UPDATE: According to Mike Bresnahan of the LA-Times, Steve Nash could miss up to four weeks with a small fracture in his left leg.
Steve Nash has what the Lakers are calling a small non-displaced fracture in the head of his fibula. The two-time NBA MVP will be re-examined after the week.
Nash, 38, missed Friday's game against the Clippers after injuring his leg on Wednesday against the Trail Blazers.
The news only adds to the disappointing start to the season for the star studded Lakers, who are the NBA's only 0-3 team.

When it comes to trendy foods, it's not necessarily all coconut water and Greek yogurt. In the eyes of Destination America, it's all about bacon. Indeed, there's a phenomenon sweeping the nation that says that everything is better with bacon. This summer, I saw a sign at an Asheville restaurant promoting a bacon milkshake. I'll let you decide if that's tasty or ridiculous. To capitalize on this so-called trend, this series will feature chef Todd Fisher as he travels the country looking for the best bacon dishes around. This summer, the network had a "United States of Food" series, and the bacon was so popular - a break-out star, if you will - it earned its own 12-episode series. In the first episode at 10 p.m., Fisher visits Milwaukee to hang out at a bar with a daily bacon happy hour. The 10:30 p.m. episode has Fisher swinging by Chicago to attend one of the country's biggest bacon festivals. Again, I'll let you decide whether watching this series will virtually clog your arteries. Destination Americacan be found on Channels 256 and 1256.
ABC reported last month that "666 Park Avenue" has been canceled, and it appears the final four episodes will air in the summer, according to TheFutonCritic.com. Starting next Sunday, you'll find new episodes of "Happy Endings" and "Don't Trust the B - in Apartment 23" at 10 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. Those comedies will continue to have new episodes in their regular Tuesday time slots.
Following the third season finale at 9 p.m., a behind-the-scenes episode airs at 10 p.m. where secrets are promised to be revealed. TLC

Epilepsy is a disorder in which nerve cells (neurones) in the brain produce abnormal signals. This abnormal electrical activity in the brain may result in epileptic seizures, convulsions, muscle spasms, unusual sensations, and loss of consciousness.
Only when people have more than one seizure, sometimes of different types, is epilepsy diagnosed. With epilepsy, people tend to have recurring seizures, unless the condition is managed. Epilepsy treatment is aimed at preventing seizures and maximising quality of life. Around 70% of people with epilepsy are successfully treated by drug medication. Where this fails, epilepsy surgery or vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) may be considered.
There are few centres for private epilepsy treatment in the UK. Those dedicated private services that exist are in the major London private hospitals or are available through the private patient services within NHS trusts. You can search for a private neurologist in our consultant database.

We went for our honeymoon. My intent was to get away from everything, completely relax, and spend time together in paradise. This was everything I had... hoped for. Our room was a Superior Ocean View. We walked out our door onto the porch and then onto the sand. Walked down a small hill and were on the beach and water. From our bed we could see the ocean, beach, and sunrise. I slept on the hammock some nights just to look at the stars. This was my definition of perfect, but maybe not for others. No AC, no clocks, TV, Internet in common areas, and rain does blow in the shutters during a windy storm. Breakfast was delicious. We got free breakfast, but I tipped the staff each morning and they were wonderful. We did nothing other than wake up at sunrise, eat when hungry, lay on the beach, swim, and to go bed sometime after dark. If you are looking to party and get drunk all day, I'd suggest going elsewhere because that's not the vibe and this is.If you want to truly be in a quiet, beautiful, simple, perfect tropical paradise, this is the place for you. We walked several kilometers up and down the beach and this was definitely, in our opinion, better than the rest of the hotels. We will definitely be back. Hopefully sooner than later oleh Josh dari Indiana pada 05/09/2013

Day 01: Hanoi - HalongTransfer from your hotel in Hanoi to Halong pier.
Embark on board around 12:00 hrs, welcome on board of Halong Ginger and set sail through the bay while lunch is served. Passage into the magical bay, where thousands of sculpted limestone islands rise from the waves like dragons' teeth.
After lunch, take a short trek to a nearby summit for a panoramic view of the bay, go swimming on a quiet beach or sunbathing on the sundeck. Later in the afternoon, visit an interesting fishing village with opportunity to interact with fishermen who have been living in the bay for almost three generations. Seafood dinner & overnight on board.
Optional: At sunset time, kayak or simply take a bamboo row boat to discover a water tunnel with many coral reefs in a scenic lagoon. Back on board Halong Ginger, enjoy cocktails while watching sunset and later unwind at Ginger restaurant.
Day 02: Halong - HanoiGreet the day with a morning Tai Chi exercise with an opportunity to view the sunrise over the bay. After breakfast, visit a beautiful limestone grotto, then return to the boat for a final glimpse of Halong Bay while cruising back to the pier.

SMF Development > Bug Reports
2.0.2, Spaces in website links
I'm all in favour of making morons suffer for their stupidity. Natural selection and all that. ;)
Natural selection doesn't work fast enough...
Anyway, it's very common to have something like mySite.com or sample.com, which don't go to real sites. As long as it doesn't cause the browser to blow up (at least, in a way that threatens site security or lets the browser into places it shouldn't go), and I've never seen that, I say just leave it alone. If fools want to waste their time pressing on shiny links, let 'em. It keeps them occupied and out of the way...

Agree +1 ;)
Like MrPhil, I say leave alone as there may be a legitimate reason why someone enters a url like that. Doesn't necesaariliy mean it's a real url that goes somewhere.
Guess an option would be to have a mod that does as you ask and maybe throws up an error message. However, certainly don't think this should be part of core functionality nor should it be considered a "bug".
We should validate our inputs, just as good practice, I think we should fix it for 2.1.
"Validating inputs" implies that it should be fixed or rejected as soon as someone clicks the Submit button. Are there any cases where BBCode etc. is checked upon input, rather than upon output? I think it would be more practical (if you want to do something about it) to check upon output for invalid characters in the href string. Ditto for images, etc.
Of course, from the resources-used point of view, it's better to format a post (process BBCode) up front once upon saving and save the processed version alongside the raw markup. It's possible that there might be some tags not resolvable until output time, but at least most of the BBCode processing will have been done ahead of time, saving server resources by not formatting over and over.
I still don't think it's worthwhile to worry about malformed URLs, unless it can be shown that it's a browser stability or security issue. Of course, others may feel differently. As I said before, sometimes they're not intended to be real domains or URLs, and it would be unnecessarily confusing to have error messages pop up (possibly better to highlight the presumed URL in some odd color and leave it inactive?).

Over the last year or so, Rylie has become very independent. She can dress herself, brush her teeth, buckle herself into her car seat, get her own snacks... the list goes on and on. She thinks she can do everything by herself, and I will usually let her at least try, but there are just some tasks that "little miss independent" has not yet mastered.
One of those tasks is pouring her own drinks. Sure, Rylie can pour from cup to cup, or pour "tea" when setting up a tea party in the bath tub, but those little hands just can't quite get a full carton of milk or a full bottle of juice at the right angle so that it actually goes inside the glass.
We recently had the chance to try out the Magic Tap, and Rylie can now add one more item to the list of of things she can do all by herself! This automatic drink dispenser makes it easy for anyone to pour a drink...even a 4 year old!
It really is THAT easy! The hardest part was figuring out which beverage container to use to test the Magic Tap. Rylie and Bryce both love the V-8 Fusion drinks, so at first I wanted to use it on one of those. The only problem is that those types of juice drinks need to be shaken before they are poured, and I certainly didn't want the kids attempting to shake those bottles. I decided that the Magic Tap needed to be used on something that didn't require shaking, so I put it on a half gallon of milk.
The Magic Tap's universal cap fits most containers, and it fit perfectly over the opening of the milk jug. The silicone wings made a great seal that seemed air tight.
I tried it out first, and I was surprised that the Magic Tap held up to the claim of "no more drips". It really did not drip at all! As soon as I stopped applying pressure on the trigger, the flow seemed to go in reverse and back down into the jug. Call me impressed! While it does leave a small bit of liquid in the nozzle, it went back far enough that it didn't drip out.
The next step was allowing Rylie to try it. It was super easy for her to use!
When she first started using the Magic Tap, I had her use her finger on the trigger, rather than holding the glass up to it, just for a little more control. And after all, we know how much kids like pushing buttons. She can do it either way, though, and when it is in the refrigerator, she just holds her glass up to it.
The milk jug is now stored on a shelf in the refrigerator that Rylie and Bryce can reach, and they both enjoy pouring their own milk. Yes, even a 2 year old can use the Magic Tap! They enjoy it so much that they actually drink more milk now...an added benefit!
The only issue I have with the Magic Tap is with the sensitivity of the trigger. You barely have to touch it to make it work. While some might find that a positive feature, when you have two little kids, it isn't always so. I have even accidentally touched it and ended up with milk on the floor. We are all very careful now when we are in the refrigerator.
The Magic Tap has definitely found a place in our refrigerator! It really does work well to eliminate spills and drips, and makes it easy for the kids to get their own drinks.
The Magic Tap retails for $19.99, and requires two AA batteries. At the time of this post, when you order one Magic Tap, you get one free! Visit www.magictap.com to order today!

or 'ansi-term'
for creating a terminal buffer. There is no special command to create or switch between multiple terminal buffers quickly.(require 'multi-term)
(setq multi-term-program "/bin/bash")
is a list of keys which emacs keeps for itself. By default it contains ("C-z" "C-c" "C-x" "C-h" "C-y" "<ESC>")'term-bind-key-alist'
is a list of keys and functions which you can use, for example to use Emacs style cursor movement to the multi-terminal. The default is long, so I'll let you look it up yourself.'term-unbind-key-list'
, and remove "C-c C-c" from the option 'term-bind-key-alist'
.You may have to experiment to get the behavior you want.
multi-term.el provides the following interactive functions:
or 'multi-term-dedicated-open'
. You will then be prompted for the shell command to use for the your new terminal buffer.(defun multi-term-foo () "Make a multi-term buffer running foo." (let ((multi-term-program "/bin/foo")) (multi-term)))
All options below can be customized by: M-x RET customize-group RET multi-term RET .
, scroll all windows to bottom. If 'this'
, scroll only the selected window. If 'others'
scroll only those that are not the selected window.'multi-term'
buffer after closing the current one. If you don't like this feature just set it with nil.'other-window'
to cycle through windows. This useful when you have complex window layout for programming. Note that you can use the command "multi-term-dedicated-select" to select the dedicated window in any time.'term-default-bg-color'
and 'term-default-fg-color'
control foreground color and background color, so just setup like below: (custom-set-variables '(term-default-bg-color "#000000") ;; background color (black) '(term-default-fg-color "#dddd00")) ;; foreground color (yellow)
command never creates a new term buffer, if one already exists. On the other hand, 'multi-term'
always creates a new one. Both behaviors are limiting when it comes to keybindings. For most of the time, when a user presses a button to get himself a terminal, he expects one he was working with before (otherwise he would probably close it earlier), but sometimes he wants a fresh new one. The following code either switches to the term buffer used last or creates a new one, if a term buffer is already selected. (defun last-term-buffer (l) "Return most recently used term buffer." (when l (if (eq 'term-mode (with-current-buffer (car l) major-mode)) (car l) (last-term-buffer (cdr l))))) (defun get-term () "Switch to the term buffer last used, or create a new one if none exists, or if the current buffer is already a term." (interactive) (let ((b (last-term-buffer (buffer-list)))) (if (or (not b) (eq 'term-mode major-mode)) (multi-term) (switch-to-buffer b))))
Please write at below if you have any suggestion or bug, or mail to me. Thanks! – AndyStewart
Hi Andy. Thank you for a great mode. I love it and now use it all the time. However I found one deficiency:
- I bound (multi-term-dedicated-toggle) to a function key and use it all the time when I quickly need to do something in a term
- I set (setq multi-term-dedicated-select t) to have the dedicated buffer selected and ready to be used once it opens
- When I am done I run (multi-term-dedicated-toggle) again to get rid of the terminal. At this point I'd like the cursor return to the position it was before I opened the dedicated terminal window. However If I had more than one buffer, the cursor doesn't always return back to the old position. I worked around it with this (this is my first lisp function; sorry if it is not pretty):
(defun it-multi-term-dedicated-toggle () "jump back to previous location after toggling ded term off" (interactive) (if (multi-term-dedicated-exist-p) (progn (multi-term-dedicated-toggle) (switch-to-buffer-other-window old-buf)) (progn (setq old-buf (current-buffer)) (multi-term-dedicated-toggle)) ) )
It may be a good idea to add this functionality to multi-term.el
Ilya - you might watch to use select-window and selected-window rather than switching buffers when you restore state. —MPH
Sorry Ilya, i have LeaveEmacs , haven't time write any elisp code even i really want help you. So sorry.

Hi! it seems pretty cool. I used to run M-x shell in my emacs and play a lot of my daily job in it. But I found that in the terminal mode I just not able to send a Ctrl-r charactor to my shell. You know it used to invoke a (reverse-i-search) in bash command history. Anytime when I type C-r in the terminal it just invoke (isearch-backward) in Emacs, even when I type C-q C-r. I can unset the default key binding on C-r in Emacs, but it seems not work for terminal mode. Then I made a term-mode-hook and it really runs, but the key binding of C-r is still there. It's quite strange.
(add-hook 'term-mode-hook (lambda() (global-unset-key (kbd "C-r")) ; (local-unset-key (kbd "C-r")) (message "%s" "This is in term mode and hook enabled.") ))
Of course I can copy a ^R charactor from somewhere else and paste it into terminal window, it really works but it's too annoying. Does anybody has good idea?
-- DoveYoung
Hi. I'm wondering how I can get the ESC key to forward on an actual terminal escape (C-[) to the shell process. Currently it's being interpreted as meta. Since I am able to actually successfully press the meta key on my own, I don't need ESC to duplicate that functionality. I've tried removing "<ESC>" from term-unbind-key-list, but still when I hit the ESC key, it's being used by Emacs.
May be the following code will help you.
Define a function like the following one.
(defun term-send-esc () "Send ESC in term mode." (interactive) (term-send-raw-string "\e"))
Then use a convenient key to send ESC to terminal. I am fine with "C-c C-e"
(add-to-list 'term-bind-key-alist '("C-c C-e" . term-send-escape))

Letters From Lil Jen
December 07, 2006
A couple months ago, my dear friend
Jen—former HG cohort, Lahaina bartender, Sugar Shack roomie and owner
of the electric-green purse on fire—moved back home. She hadn't been
back to the East Coast for nearly 12 years, but was excited about
making a new life for herself and her boyfriend in Pennsylvania. Here
are a few of her recent letters to me...
Oct. 11, 2006
Shane and I are bored stiff—only five more days until we move into
our freshly remodeled pad. I've recently become addicted to live
auctions. It's like gambling, except that you always go home with
something! I've gotten cool antiques to outfit our apartment—sometimes
things need a little work so it's keeping us busy. Staining, painting,
sanding, clamping I'm turning into my mother more with every day that
passes. Frankly, I'm a little concerned.
Once again I've imbibed way too much coffee—when will I learn? Tell
me something cool you've done, I'm bored. Hopefully I'll have some
stories myself when we finally reach our destination—the promise
land—Philadelphia. I need some bizarre things to happen, I've fallen
behind. No doubt they will start once I reach Mecca.
Please send me shit, email is my only entertainment, except when I
pull pranks on Shane, he's so easy! It's so discouraging when I check
and there is nothing sent from my contacts, considering I check on
average six times a day. Not likely, huh? I've become quite the
computer nerd—thought you'd never hear me type that in my lifetime.
Okay I'm done babbling, I guess I'll smoke another cigarette—oh yeah,
quitting is going real well. Send my love and hugs
Oct. 15: Hey, tomorrow is the big day. I'm nervous as hell. Leave it
to me to worry about just about anything. It's just getting from point
A to point B that worries me. I'm a loon. I need a Valium or a Vicodin
or something. How are things in your world? I'm not sure I'll ever get
used to this time change thing. Someone shoot me clear into Tuesday or
something. I guess I'll go grab another beer and pace around some more.
Do you know that feeling when you're just tired of being you? When
you just need some time to breathe and realize how retarded you are,
then go back with a clear focus? This is one of those times, not to be
Debbie Rigatoni [an alias], but to be Jessica Livingston. Jessica's got
her head on straight and is walking on a clear path to success. Jessica
is dressed to kill and her hair is not frizzy. She showers regularly
and smells of roses. I think that just creating her has somehow helped
nope, I'm back again—drats! I'm losing it. So I love you, I know that
for sure even if everything else is a little fuzzy. Have a blissful day
and pray that I make it through tomorrow in one piece (mind and body).
I bid you adieu
Nov. 9: I got the job at BCBG, only part-time but whatever, it's
something for right now. I'm still working on beefing up my resume. I'm
going to start volunteering at the art museums. Just to get myself in a
productive atmosphere and to get out and meet people. Anything is
better than sitting alone and watching CSI for the umpteenth time.
My dad is taking the train in tomorrow and spending the day and then
my mom is coming down on Monday to have lunch. Those are the main
reasons I moved home—day trips of that kind. Money is going to be real
tight for a while. I'm not used to living paycheck-to-paycheck, and not
a very big paycheck for that matter.
I don't feel like it was a mistake at all, but my self-esteem is
slipping. My confidence needs to build back up. All in due time I
suppose. Love and miss you lots
Nov. 13: Hey there, chica! I started my new job. It looks like I may
actually enjoy shopping for other people, especially with their money.
Shane just got a job with Chevy and no longer has to wait tables. Can
you believe it? I'm dating a car salesman! Who knew?
It's constantly raining here and I am without rain gear. It's next
on my list of things I need. Oh, the other day Shane and I went
shopping in the Italian Market—you know that street that Rocky [Balboa]
runs down when he is training? Well, it was too cool. We got all this
fresh fruit and veggies for way cheap and then we went to the butcher's
and they ground our meat right there.
The fish market was awesome—fresh everything—one good thing about
living in a port city. I just got such a kick out of it, and it's
rather close to our apartment. We're learning to work the city for all
it has to offer. It's just taking a little time. Still have to make it
to the museums. I just want to wait until it stops raining—traveling in
that shit, especially by bus, is the pits. My umbrella has gotten
turned inside out I can't tell you how many times. Embarrassing. Ah,
Dec. 5: The weather is getting much colder and my apartment is
getting lonelier. Shane's at work and it's me and Regis, Kelly and
Rachel Ray. Work in the commission world is dog-eat-dog. I'm not really
enjoying that aspect and, of course, I want more. Always. I forgot how
hard moving is until you get settled.
Everything is great between Shane and I. It's just hard when you
have to be everything to one another. I don't know what I want or what
would make me feel better. Maybe a couple hours with you would do the
trick. Lunch, a cheeseburger, a beer and a cigarette—ah, the makings of
a good afternoon! Some conversation with a friend, a knowing and
understanding glance, a hug.
I've been painting, it's been nice. I'm sort of revisiting the
person I left behind in Pennsylvania. All the things that I used to do
here that made me happy and made me who I was; all the things I haven't
done since I left this state, I am revisiting.
Why did I leave them behind, why do I constantly feel the need to
reinvent myself? I feel like I'm just going in circles, running over
the same old ground, stupid. What is it that I'm looking for that I
haven't found? Or has it always been there and I've just refused to
notice it, accept it? I miss your smell you forget the little things
like that until they're gone and maybe that's why I moved back here—I
missed the smell of the East.
Well, I've got to go back out into the cold and go home and get
ready for work. We dress in all black, like a funeral, isn't that
fitting. Sorry to be so sad, I just needed to tell someone who knew me
what I was feeling. Tomorrow is another day and another chance to turn
it all around. Love you terribly... Jennifer

Roxy Reference 230 earphones are a colorful alternative
Extreme sports and music go hand in hand, so it's not surprising that companies such as Skullcandy and Nixon take advantage of this relationship to market headphones to teens and young adults with an interest in such activities. Now you can add Roxy to the list. The female-centric surf-wear maker has teamed up with JBL to offer a line of stylish earphones aimed at young women. At the bottom end of the spectrum are the superaffordable Reference 230 earphones, a standard earbud model that lists for $20. While they hit the Roxy style on the head, these earphones probably … Read more

- December is the new January as far as small caps are concerned, with Arthur Hill pointing out it's actually the year's last month when small caps are most likely to outperform the market - they do it 74% of the time vs. 50% in January (and a range of 40-60% for the rest of the year).
- The Russell 2000 (IWM -0.2%) is off today as the S&P 500 (SPY +0.3%) rises, and thus far this month the S&P 500 - is ahead of the Russell by 140 basis points.
- Small cap ETFs: IJS, IWM, TZA, TNA, UWM, VB, IJR, SLY, EES, RWJ, VBR, VBK, URTY, TWM, IWN, SCHA, IWO, IJT, RWM, SRTY, SAA, JKL, DWAS, VTWO, SLYG, RZV, SLYV, SBB, SDD, JKJ, RSCO, RZG, TILT, UKK, XSLV, FYX, VTWG, VIOO, JKK, SKK, FYT, VIOG, EWRS, UVT, VIOV, PXSV, TWOK, VTWV, SMLV, SJH, FNDA, FYC, IESM, VLU, PXSG, PXSC

Tuesday, Jul 93:11 PMState Street (STT) is competing aggressively on price with the launch of its Russell 2000 ETF (TWOK) - the fund will have an expense ratio of 0.12% vs. iShares' (BLK) IWM with expenses of 0.24%, and Vanguard's VTWO at 0.21%. In addition, SSgA is relaunching 3 existing ETFs after refitting them to Russell indexes. The SPDR Russell 3000 ETF (THRK) replaces the SPDR Dow Jones Total Market ETF (TMW), with expense ratio halved to 0.10%. The SPDR Russell 1000 ETF (ONEK) replaces the SPDR Dow Jones Large Cap ETF (ELR), with expense ratio halved to 0.10%. The SPDR Russell Small Cap Completeness ETF (RSCO) replaces the SPDR Dow Jones Mid Cap ETF (EMM) with expense ratio falling to 0.10% from 0.25%. |Tuesday, Jul 93:11 PM| Comment!
Monday, Jul 83:54 PMState Street (STT) looks to take on iShares' (BLK) dominant small cap ETF (IWM) with the Tuesday launch of the SPDR Russell 2000 ETF (TWOK). IWM currently has $23.3B in AUM and an expense ratio of 0.24%. This compares to other far smaller competitors like Schwab's SCHA at 0.08% and Vanguard's VB at 0.10%. Previous: Small cap stocks outpace the S&P 500. Other reasonably popular ETFs: IJS, IJR.

Tuesday, Jun 410:51 AMBNP's "Love-Panic Index" signals a correction ahead as it crossed into "love" territory a few weeks back. Past experience says to brace for an average 12% decline in the S&P (SPY) over the next 6 months. The biggest drivers of the recent move into "love" have been State Street's Investor Confidence, the CFTC's COT report, falling short interest, rising Nasdaq to NYSE trading volume, and small caps (IWM) outperformance over large caps (IWB). |Tuesday, Jun 410:51 AM| 14 Comments
Monday, May 203:11 PMThe Russell 2000 (IWM) cracked 1,000 for the first time this morning, but the small cap sector is far from over-loved by the fund managers who invest in it, according to Credit Suisse's Lori Calvasina - they ended Q1 with cash holdings at a near 10-year high. Indexing (IJR, IWO, IWN XSLV are some others) beats most active management, but Calvasina screened for stocks owned by fewer than 50 small-cap funds with $500M-$1.5B market cap, and with favorable investment ratings. No surprise the answer is heavy on mREITs - MTGE, AMTG, PMT. Also coming up: OMX and WFR. |Monday, May 203:11 PM| Comment!
Thursday, May 93:24 PM"Our enthusiasm is clearly a notch below where we were at the beginning of the year," write Credit Suisse analysts, starting to see a bit of froth creep into small caps. At 16.4x earnings, the Russell 2000 (IWM) "has admittedly lost its valuation appeal." For now, they're buyers on dips, but should the index near the 1,000 level, valuation pressure will really start to be felt. |Thursday, May 93:24 PM| 3 Comments
Friday, Apr 269:26 AMSmall-caps have a fan in Goldman Sachs which is out with a report today forecasting a 14% gain in the Russell 2000 (IWM) over the next 12 months vs. just 6% for the S&P 500 (SPY). The S&P is outperforming YTD by about 50 bps. |Friday, Apr 269:26 AM| 2 Comments
Wednesday, Apr 179:59 PMVanguard has transitioned its 8 standard U.S. market cap weighted ETFs from their previous MSCI indexes to CRSP indexes. Mega Cap Value ETF (MGV), Mega Cap Growth ETF (MGK), Large Cap Growth ETF (VUG), Large Cap Value ETF (VTV), Mid-Cap Growth ETF (VOT), Mid-Cap Value ETF (VOE), Small-Cap Growth ETF (VBK) and Small-Cap Value ETF (VBR) are among 22 funds Vanguard announced index switches for last October, allowing it to lower fees across the board. |Wednesday, Apr 179:59 PM| 1 Comment
Monday, Apr 155:28 PMVanguard adjusts fees on 3 ETFs, including the Total Stock Market ETF (VTI), where strong inflows allows the expense ratio to fall to 0.05% vs. 0.21% at TMW and 0.20% at IYY. VBR is cut to 0.20% vs. competitors SLYV and IWN at 0.25%. VOE is hiked to 0.12%, but remains below IJJ, IWS and MDYV which charge 0.25% each. |Monday, Apr 155:28 PM| Comment!
Monday, Apr 1512:38 PMThe S&P (SPY) and Dow (DIA) have continued to notch record highs, but small caps (IWM -3%) - which led the way higher for much of the year - rolled over a few weeks ago and are falling especially sharply today. Technicians fret. |Monday, Apr 1512:38 PM| 1 Comment
Sunday, Apr 148:25 AMThe reconstitution of the Russell indexes coming up in June, Credit Suisse aims to anticipate who's in and who's out. The rules-based approach of the Russell 2000 has allowed arbitragers to profit each summer by front-running the moves, making the Russell 2000 ETF (IWM) a poorer play for small cap fans than IJR . Expected among the top 25 adds are ARCP, SRPT, PBYI, ACAD, and WSTC. Among the top 25 deletes: CPST, FCEL, CHKE, OMER, and EML. |Sunday, Apr 148:25 AM| Comment!
Tuesday, Mar 261:27 PMSmall-cap stocks are set to outperform, according to Goldman research showing the IWM outperforms the SPY by an annualized 8.1% in quarters following a steep drop in the VIX. The "acute" decline in the VIX YTD "provides a tailwind to small-cap performance in 2Q13." A must-read for small cap index fans is SA author Ploutos' piece suggesting IJR is your best bet. |Tuesday, Mar 261:27 PM| 3 Comments
Friday, Mar 2212:29 PMLagging the solid rise in stocks today are small caps, the Russell 2000 (IWM) up 0.1% while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq post better than 0.5% gains. Thus far in 2013, IWM is about level with the S&P, but is about 300 bps better on a Y/Y basis. IJR - maybe better for small cap fans - has outperformed both. |Friday, Mar 2212:29 PM| Comment!
Wednesday, Mar 208:36 AM
Tuesday, Feb 199:10 AMOwners of the Russell 2000 ETF (IWM) may be able to declare arbitragers as dependents on their tax returns. Sharp traders have been gaming the rules-based rebalancing of the popular small-cap index for sweet profits each summer. Small-cap fans should instead take a look at IJR - it's performed better thanks to inclusion rules that may make more sense and are less likely to be arbitraged. |Tuesday, Feb 199:10 AM| Comment!
Monday, Jan 712:47 PMWith U.S. small caps "picked over," some managers are looking overseas for ideas. International valuations are at 13X earnings and dividend yields of 3% vs. domestic at 15X and 2%, according to Mark Bogar, whose firm is allocating 57% of it small cap exposure to foreign holdings, a big jump from a year ago. |Monday, Jan 712:47 PM| 1 Comment

Tom Hiddleston Will Return For Thor 2; Talks About The Villany Of Loki In The Avengers
With the release of Kenneth Branagh's Thor on DVD and Blu-Ray this month (September 13), talking to MTV, Tom Hiddleston confirmed that he will be back to portray Loki in the upcoming sequel, and that the story will continue where The Avengers ends. Also, he says that as far as Thor 2 director goes, nothing is confirmed.
On whether or not he's talked to Brian Kirk (rumored Thor 2 director) about the sequel and where will the story go:
"I haven't. I also don't know that that's actually confirmed. That's not me being coy. I spoke to Kevin Feige last week on [The Avengers] set and he said, 'Oh no, we haven't got anyone yet. We're thinking about people. I think probably next spring is the idea because the release date is locked down," he said, adding that the storyline for the film will still likely pick-up from where The Avengers leaves off."
On the villany of Loki in The Avengers and how different the character is:
"In The Avengers he's really dark and kind of sociopathic, or maybe even psychopathic is the word, in a deluded way. Obviously I haven't let go of the spiritual damage at the heart of him, it still comes from that lost place, but he's just incredibly nasty. I think that probably in Thor 2 his previous actions will, he'll have to take responsibility for what he's done. The great thing about Loki is there is potential in him for greatness and awfulness, for great heroism and great villainy. There are still, even within The Avengers, there are moments where you see within Loki a glimmer of hope and that possibility of redemption. It makes it fun to play and it makes it fun for the audience. Nobody is black and white, there are shades of grey in all of us. We all have potential for greatness and we all have flaws.
"I for one am championing the redemption," he added hopefully, along with a wish for a future Thor and Loki action scene: "This isn't definitely going to happen, but I think there would be nothing more awesome than seeing Loki and Thor fight somebody side by side."


text: Energy Survey 2007In August 2007 the APA/EESI partnership launched a second national survey, this time to assess the integration of climate change and energy issues into community planning. We received 1,103 responses, from public sector planners (59 percent), private sector planners (28.3 percent), planning academics (2.8 percent), planners working for nonprofits (4.1 percent), and planners working in other planning areas (5.8 percent). This split is roughly similar to the 2005 survey, but the number of responses increased 293 percent from the 2005 survey (377 responses). The 2007 survey included numerous questions that were asked in the 2005 survey, to see if there were any changes in the planning community over the last two years, and it also included new questions regarding climate change policies and plans, and general attitudes on the topic. See the questions that were asked (pdf) The following are 10 "big picture" points gleaned from comparing the 2005 to the 2007 survey results.

Governor in town today

The French — and their Francophile friends — descended on Governors Island in New York Saturday to celebrate Bastille Day. Dubbed the Parisian Ball, the festivities took place on the grounds of the Fete Paradiso exhibit of antique French carnival rides there. Revelers took to the theme (and rides) in many ways, from red, white and blue colors to traditional Gallic stripes, and even a few looks inspired by Marie Antoinette and her court. Vive La Révolution!

Stay Classy, San Diego
WORDS & PHOTOS: Kansas Waugh
Wedding weekends are guaranteed fun. If you're not having a blast at one moment on the trip, you definitely will later. Sometimes you're lucky enough to be celebrating loved ones with lots of friends and everything is perfect, including the place. I had such luck this summer when I traveled to San Diego to celebrate a marvelous pair of friends, and since there was ample time for riding, I brought along the sled.
There were several rides that weekend, as there were several riders in attendance. Two routes were popular. The first was a short, city ride that I would recommend for anyone into steep hill repeats. This is the northern climb to Soledad Park. Start at the intersection of La Jolla Parkway and Hidden Valley Road and head south on the latter. Turn right on Via Capri and ride it to the top. The grades are between 11% and 14% with a couple of short steps. The views on top are sweet, and somewhere on top of this hill is the former residence of Dr. Seuss.
The other ride is out of town, and it's hugely popular with both locals and visitors. It's basically N Torrey Pines Road north, along the coast. It's faster, for sure, and has beautiful views of the ocean and beaches. Of all the places to stop, and there are many, you must make a point of taking some silent moments at one in particular: the Salk Institute for Biological Studies. The Salk (1959-1966) was designed by the great Louis Khan, and is considered by many to be one of his crowning achievements. In the characteristic concrete and marble so enjoyed by Khan, the Salk is a monumental work of programmatic organization and spacial order, and the central courtyard is one of the world's remaining greats. Its geometric balance and scale are indicative of a strong current of tranquil optimism in humanity that ran through Khan's designs, especially around this period.
There is a small pop-up cafe just outside the entrance gates. Grab an espresso and sit for a few minutes on the marble benches at the near end and look west. I highly recommend it.

This is my city and I love riding in it. There are at least three other ways to get up to Soledad Park. I hope you had time to ride them as well. If not, you have an excuse to come back again!

The wife lived/ studied in La Jolla, San Diego back in the day.
Luckily she came to her senses and moved back to good old London town, otherwise I would never have met her.
San Diego is fantastic for riding. Almost perfect 70 - 80 degrees all year round with rolling hills, beautiful countryside and fantastic ocean views.
If you visit, make sure you pop along to the Velocult store and museum. Some lovely steel bikes. They also have organised rides ect. Sky the owner is a true bike lover.

Kahn & Rapha - who would have known. I studied architecture in SoCal back in the 80's and made sure I made this very stop everytime I passed by on my bike. Could not have written as succinctly about the place as this though… Well done Sir!
