El Cajon preps for centennial
El Cajon is planning the party of the century. No, really.
East County's largest city turns 100 next year and is looking for volunteers and donors to help organize community events tied to the centennial.
Councilwoman Jillian Hanson-Cox, who is spearheading the effort, said planning is in the early stages, but said a Western-themed camp-out for youth is among the events under consideration. "We have a lot of really fun ideas being kicked around," she said.
The valley town was incorporated on Nov. 12, 1912.
Those wishing to donate to the extended celebration or volunteer to serve on a centennial committee can email firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com. A related web site, still under development, is here.
Hanson-Cox noted that her late father, Jack Hanson, helped plan the city's 75th birthday when he served on the city council.
"How ironic that I am following my father's footsteps again, leading the planning of El Cajon's 100th," she wrote in an email. "Our committee is planning to make this celebration the most entertaining and memorable with a lot of surprises. My father set the bar high so I guess I will have to jump even higher."

I love spring. I looooooooooooove spring. It's the most wonderful time of the year (as opposed to Christmas and back-to-school at Staples). After a long winter of cold weather, frosty days, dark days, a bit of spring is all I need to pick me up.
I lived in Northern Ireland for a number of years. That is one green place. You want green, seriously, Ireland has got it. It has to do with all the rain they get. After being there for years, coming back to Canada was a bit of a shock, especially in the spring. Everything was grey-brown and dead-looking.
I remember one spring after a particularly dry winter, I went out into the yard with Rascal looking for a tennis ball to play with, and found a piece of plastic table cloth I'd laid on the ground by one of the flowerbeds. I'd put it there in the autumn, in the hopes that it would block that patch of ground so that I could get the grass to die out there. Well, it didn't work, but when I pulled that tablecloth off the ground to check, the grass was green beneath it.
It was a shock, like someone had injected dye into my eyes. Wow! Green! Ooooo...
Since then, the first few glimpses of green in the spring really excite me.
Those are some irises just peeking out of the ground in my front flowerbed. They're pushing through the compost and leaves I laid on them in the autumn.
I pulled out some yarn in my stash that puts me in mind of the freshness of spring, and of new growth.
Clockwise from bottom right: Elsebeth Lavold's Hempathy in Golden Yellow, Koigu Kersti Merino Crepe, and Mirasol Hacho in Sienna Olive.
Quite a lot of my stash recently are batches of yarn in small amounts, mostly because they are hand-dyed or unique, and therefore, on the pricey side. It seems fitting, though, to have a handful of these yarns this time of year... like gathering small handfuls of the growth that is slowly pushing its way through to the surface outside. Any more would be overkill right now.
This yarn makes me think back to a day in Northern Ireland when my hubby and I went down to the shore and sat for a while on the grass. It was late spring, just tipping into summer, and the grass was dotted with tiny little daisies. I turned to my hubby and said, "How do you weave daisies into a chain?" Well, he gathered up a few and wove them into a circlet, which I then placed in my hair... It was the first time I'd ever felt remotely like a fairy.
Anyway, green is a miracle, and I'm glad to see it again. I'm all for new growth, both outdoors, and within my own being. I need a bit of refreshing these days. I fear I have become stagnant with old thoughts and shabby worries. Green always brings me to lovely memories.
Of course, there a probably some terrible memories that are associated with green... things related to slime and stuff... but we won't go there...

I love your inspiration Mondays. I think the bulb shoots peaking out in spring are awesome! They never fail to bring a smile to my face.
I also am enjoying the little peeks into your stash yarn. It is nice to see it in little groupings, like a mini yarn shop trip. Thanks again for your blog.

[New Theme] Magazine Madness (Released)
fastlowrex last edited by fastlowrex
I've been slowly working on a new theme that I'm calling "Magazine Madness".
Artwork is about 90% complete, just a few more collections and it is done. There will be artwork for 25 collections in this theme.
The theme will have a horizontal menu selection wheel using large front magazine art for each system and collection. It will also support video snaps and marquees. Each system has an open magazine image giving the illusion you are reading a magazine, and the snap and marquee change per rom selection.

Very Well done! Can't wait to test it out.

Very sharp! I lile this a lot.....I actually started a theme just like your system view, but instead of magazine covers I have movie posters and movie marquee light bulbs.....since yours is so great I am going to shelve mine for now and work on a different idea I have. Great work, can't wait to see more!

@tmntturtlguy Do you have a screenshot. I'd love to see that!

@hurricanefan not really, I have been busy so I just have basic layout boxes right now, I spent most my time playing with the carousel settings and not the art yet, that is why I am going to move to my other idea!

Awesome concept @fastlowrex! Your attention to detail on the magazines is spot on. Looking forward to more of your work on this.

@fastlowrex looks absolutely fantastic. can't wait to try this. Love it...
@fastlowrex Oh, well done. Some great themes popping up recently!
I'm downloading it to try it out.
My main comment before trying it out - more functional than design-wise - is that having a list with only 5 items in it might not be especially functional given that when you press R1/L1 it moves 7-8 at a time, so you may risk not seeing some games when doing that.
Needs to be checked - I'm not fully sure how it'll behave with such a small list, maybe it works well - but other than that this looks very nifty!
@fastlowrex so I just installed it and it looks glorious. Everything looks spot on!
I do need to create a script to randomize themes :p
That being said, a few comments and maybe a small request from my experience with it:
- the video z-index in the collections menu is off, it shows on top of the TV.
- the unselected folders text default color is white, which makes it hard to read on the white background:) maybe make it grey, as the normal text is black?
- effectively, having only 5 items in the list makes the R1/L1 navigation impractical as there'll be items that will never be visible. I recommend having at least 8 items in the list, which would likely mean increasing the list size:/ it's not a big issue, though, but it is worth noting.
- I suppose my request is related to the videos, and I know that this is as much a design decision as it is personal preference, so make much of it :) in this case, as you use the z-index for videos, this is built for people who mostly use VLC as the video player. When you use OMX player, as expected, the layout experience is hit and miss. Some current layouts work well, but others don't really look well on OMX player. If you'd consider tweaking some of the TV layouts to accommodate that, I'm happy to give more details on which work well and which don't (or you can also just turn on OMX player and see) :). Anyway, I don't expect this to be picked up, but thought I'd bring it up in case you'd be open to it - be it in this version or a separate theme version.
Anyway, looks great. Congratulations on the release!

@pjft , Hi. I have made some changes to the theme using some of your suggestions. Thanks for the feedback.
cyperghost last edited by
@fastlowrex Fantastic theme! You were a bit inspired by the WDTV background?
@fastlowrex thank you! I see you made the font smaller at least, which does help:)
I must have misremembered the code - or someone might have changed it in the meantime - because it still seems to not show all entries when doing L1/R1, but it's minor. I certainly wouldn't make the font any smaller - I would only consider increasing the text box but that is likely a pain across all the systems.
I love all the tiny details and text in the magazine covers and when open! Well done.
I wonder if you wouldn't consider adding a small metadata box similar to a "Review score" box.
But it's just a thought, really. I'm using it as is right now.
Thank you very much for putting it together!

So that the snap layer plays behind the TV bezel and not on top, you need to turn off USE OMX PLAYER (HW ACCELERATED) in your options.
@fastlowrex thanks. Are you referring to any comment of mine in particular, though?

Sour and Spicy Ikan Bilis
Seafood, Snacks September 14th, 2007
Before I got married, the only snack which I knew how to cook with Ikan Bilis (Dried Anchovies) was my so-called Ikan Bilis Snack recipe. After getting married, I cooked that dish for one of the meals and my wife remarked that her family version is slightly different. Sour and Spicy Ikan Bilis (a name I coined out) is slightly more elaborate but if you ask me, has a more complex but delicious taste compared to Ikan Bilis Snack.
If you compare the two recipes, you will realize that Sour and Spicy Ikan Bilis has more ingredients compared to Ikan Bilis Snack. The combined use of thinly sliced aromatic shallots, fresh chillis and garlic with ikan bilis with a twist of lime makes this dish truly appetizing and refreshing. You can eat it as a snack (provided you have a couple of glasses of drink to help you quench your thirst) or as an accompaniment to steamed white rice. Give it a try as it is really simple to prepare and cook.
This is my wife's recipe for Sour and Spicy Ikan Bilis
- 1 rice bowl measure of ikan bilis (rinsed)
- 1 red chilli (sliced thinly)
- 3 shallots (sliced thinly)
- 3 cloves garlic (sliced thinly)
- 2 pieces lime (juiced)
- 1 ½ teaspoon dark soya sauce
- Sugar to taste
- 5 tablespoons cooking oil (palm oil preferred)
Bring oil to high heat in wok and fry ikan bilis till golden brown. Remove and set aside ikan bilis. Discard used oil.
Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in wok and fry shallots till beginning to brown. Remove and set aside fried shallots. Add garlic and fry till golden brown. Remove and set aside fried garlic. Add chillis and fried ikan bilis and stir well. Return fried shallots and garlic to mixture, stir evenly and add dark soya sauce, lime juice and sugar.
Dish out and serve.

I just tried this out for dinner and it was delicious. Added some dried chilli (blended-dry) to spice it up even more. Thanks for sharing!

In 2013, the Houston Dynamo were one of only three MLS teams without a jersey sponsor. Dynamo president Chris Canetti and his staff are working to remedy that for the season ahead.
"That's a priority," Canetti told MLSsoccer.com by phone on Friday. "I'm not going to sit here and say we're imminently close to signing a deal, but we do have a handful of positive conversations going on. However, we've always had a handful of positive conversations going.
Now the Dynamo are working to fill that space with a new logo. While the organization is busy working their roster and starting a new National Women's Soccer League franchise, it has not lost sight of what Canetti says is a major priority – even if a deal may not be around the corner.
"It just takes the right person to say yes," Canetti said. "So far we haven't found that right person. We're working hard on it because it's a massive priority and one of the major pressure points going into the season from the business side. All I can hope for is that one of these conversations becomes the one."
In a perfect world Canetti would have that deal wrapped and unveiled ahead of opening day, allowing the Dynamo to march out of the tunnel on March 8 to face the New England Revolution with a new logo on their shirt. That, however, is just eight weeks away, and deals of this magnitude are more delicate than a simple handshake.
Still, Canetti has his eyes set on getting something sealed as soon as he can.
"It's ASAP, to be honest," Canetti said when asked when he would like to have the deal done.
Houston have targeted a selection of companies Canetti feels fit the bill for a quality relationship with the club. And while the Dynamo are working with a wide range of corporations that operate both locally and globally, there is a combination that seems to be standing out.
- Get more Dynamo news at HoustonDynamo.com
"What we're finding is the kind of deal that makes the most sense from the partner's side is a big company with local roots and local presence and local interest but also does business outside the Houston area," Canetti said. "Those are the things that make the most sense and line up with what we're trying to do."
With a good handle on the profile, Canetti and the Dynamo are left to wait for that phone call.
"We could get a phone call Monday that says we believe this is a phenomenal opportunity, let's get it going," Canetti said. "That's not unrealistic, it's a little bit of a wish, but it could happen."

A half-century ago, the great pioneers of ethology (e.g. Tinbergen 1951) and neuroscience (e.g. Hebb 1949) recognized that the need to bridge the gap between the 'ethologist' and the 'physiologist' was integral toward achieving a clear understanding of the behavior of the 'intact animal'. Today, as integrative approaches in biology steadily gain increasing popularity and as vast technological advances have been made, perhaps ironically, the distinctions in the study of evolution Tinbergen envisioned (including describing the course of evolution, the genetics proper of behavior, and the directional changes under the influence of natural selection) have begun to coalesce. A multi-level approach toward accounting for genetic, brain, and behavioral factors offers the opportunity to gain a better understanding of mechanisms of behavior, and offer insight into the causes of both the evolution and behavior of Tinbergen's 'intact animal'.
Our lab is unified in our quest to better understand social behavior. Sociality is one of the most intriguing topics in the study of animal behavior, because it is so pervasive. Work in our lab can be broadly categorized into the following aspects of social behavior.
1) Investigating neural mechanisms subserving mating decisions & tactics.
(The prairie vole work) Funding from NIH NICHD and NSF IOS currently supports this work. For more on these projects click here: NIH and NSF.
2) Individual variation in correlated suites of behavior.
(The African giant pouched rat work) Funding from Army Research Office and DARPA currently funds this work.

Things You'll Need
- Long, curly wig
- Dance leotard
- Opaque tights
- Sheer poncho or bed jacket
- Sheer fabric
- Knee high to thigh high boots
- Trim (braid, sequins, or lace trim)
- Jewelry
- Make-up
- Toy ray gun
Although the movie is decades old, Jane Fonda's "Barbarella" continues to be one of those fantasy characters that men can't seem to get enough of seeing. Perhaps it is due in part to the futuristic aspect of her story, but the real reason has much more to due with her sex appeal. Therefore, this sexy siren is the ideal choice for any woman looking to spice up an all-adult Halloween party.
Buy a long, curly wig and/or hair extensions if long hair isn't natural to the person who will wear the costume.
Set the hair, extensions, or wig in soft waves that curl at the end. Part of Barbarella's appeal was her luxurious tresses.
Find an old dance leotard. The color really doesn't matter so it may be possible to use something already on hand. However, make certain that it isn't too revealing. If a leotard isn't in the closet, shop for one at local department stores or boutiques that carry dance attire.
Choose opaque tights. Since leotards tend to be a bit skimpy in nature, tights will help to keep everything in check. Choose the same color or a complimentary color to the leotard. Adult leotards can be found in many department stores and on many Websites.
Shop for a sheer poncho or bed jacket; preferably one that matches the leotard and tights. Thrift stores are one possible source. However, lingerie stores often offer a broader range of options. If you cannot find one, move on to the next step.
Borrow or purchase knee high to thigh high boots if they aren't already in the closet. The color should match or compliment the rest of the costume.
Apply make up. Create heavy lined eyes and glossy lips. Be generous with your application of make up for this character.
Pick subtle jewelry like small to medium sized hoops or diamond studs. Choose a big, cocktail ring. Add a long chain around the neck. Don't overdo the jewelry. Keep it plain and simple.
Choose opaque fabrics, except for the poncho, to keep an air of modesty.
Don't wear this costume if kids are going to be at a party. You might get really embarrassed at the questions they ask about such a costume.

The MA in Science and Technology Studies will provide students with an advanced introduction to STS research and its fields of application. Students will be encouraged to address existing STS literature in-depth, and will have the opportunity to pursue a major, but short-term, research project of their own design. This experience will offer those students coming into the graduate program with an undergraduate degree in STS with the chance to both focus their existing interests in the field while expanding their repertoire of interdisciplinary tools to analyze the diverse structures of the sciences and technology.
Degree Requirements
Many students, however, will lack a deep knowledge of the field, as there are currently few STS undergraduate programs across Canada. These students will likely have had their interest in STS piqued through courses in fields that examine the sciences and technology from a disciplinary perspective, such as history, philosophy, or sociology. In the case of students with a BSc, they will likely have become engaged in thinking about aspects of their own field of specialization in the physical, computer, or life sciences that were either invisible or under-represented in their undergraduate training. These students will be introduced to a new and diverse set of matrices originating in the historical and social sciences in which they can fit their existing expertise and interests.
Program Objective
The program's objective is thus to facilitate a critical and rigorous engagement between the social sciences, the humanities and the natural sciences. It is anticipated that, for most students, the MA serves as a chance to determine whether doctoral research in the field is something they are both interested in and capable of doing. The MA will prepare them for doctoral work in Science and Technology Studies. Students will complete the program with a demonstrated ability to both examine the sciences and technology from a broad framework, and to communicate the results of their research in a manner comprehensible to non-specialists. The MA in STS will thus also be a valuable complement for those interested in working in various professional fields such as policymaking, jurisprudence, education, and journalism.
Coursework and a Major Research Paper
The objectives of the MA program will be achieved through coursework and a major research paper. Shared knowledge must be an integral component of such an interdisciplinary program. At the level of the Master's Program, coursework will both encourage students from the social sciences, humanities, and the physical and life sciences to exchange their diverse approaches, even as the courses themselves expose students to unfamiliar fields of investigation. A major research paper will challenge students to pose an original and innovative question that can be usefully answered with appropriate tools and methodologies.
- Normally completed in one year (3 terms)
- Students will be required to take the equivalent of three full graduate STS courses (18 credits), of which up to 6 credits may be directed readings
- Students will be required to take the 3 credit introduction to STS in the fall term
- Students will have the option of taking up to 6 credits in Arts type courses outside of the STS course offerings in an area relevant to their studies and in consultation with the Program Director
- Completion of a major research paper
- Students taking the degree on a part-time basis are normally expected to complete the program within 2 years (six terms)
The Major Research Paper
The MRP is the major research requirement for the MA degree. It is an opportunity for students to put their STS knowledge to work. While the MRP may be done in conjunction with an STS or a Directed Readings course, it is more than a regular piece of coursework. The MRP gives students the chance to design, develop and execute a conscise program of research in collaboration with a Supervisor, which is ultimately evaluated by committee. Equally, the MRP is not an MA thesis. It occupies a smaller amount of a student's time, it does not culminate in an oral defense, and the number of draft versions of the paper requiring revisions is typically fewer. The student's task is to select a focused topic that will result in an intensive, original piece of scholarly work of around 15,000 words (exclusive of notes).
Like any good research essay, the MRP should contain an analysis of the extant scholarship on the topic, and its relationship to the new analysis being proposed. It must present a clear argument and support it by identifying and evaluating a body of relevant evidence. An MRP should have the usual scholarly apparatus, including footnotes or endnotes and a bibliography, presented in a consistent and standardized form.
Procedures and timelines — best practices
Most students will have only a vague idea as to what their MRP topic will be at the outset of the program. But they should be thinking about it and discussing it with faculty and fellow students whenever they get the chance. In the fall term, students should discuss their project with the Graduate Program Director as soon as possible. The GPD will then direct them to the relevant STS faculty member for supervision. The student should begin conducting preliminary research immediately, to enable them to frame an MRP proposal and to determine whether their project involves human participants research (if it does, the project needs to approved by the STS Ethics Review Committee).
By January 31st of their first year (or September 30th of their fourth term, in the case of part-time students), students should have settled on an MRP Supervisor, and completed an MRP proposal form. They should also have secured approval by the STS Ethics Review Committee, if necessary. A month later (two months in the case of part-time students), they should have identified a Second Reader for their MRP Committee. At this point, the student should begin serious work on the paper, in regular consultation with the Supervisor. A draft should be completed by the middle of the following July, at the latest (June 15th of the sixth term for part-time students). The Supervisor will read this draft carefully, and make suggestions for revisions. The student then responds to and incorporates these suggestions in the final version of the MRP, which must be submitted by August 15th (two weeks from the end of the 3rd term for full-time students or the 6th term for part-time students).
The Second Reader may be consulted during any part of the process, but this is not necessary, as the main task of this committee member is to evaluate the final version of the paper. The Supervisor and Second Reader then meet to determine the grade, which is then communicated, with supporting commentary, in writing to the student. If the committee is unable to come to an agreement concerning the grade, the matter will be referred to the Graduate Program Director, who may request that a third reader evaluate the paper.
Copies of all commentary and grades by the committee and all readers will be submitted to the Graduate Program Assistant, and will be kept on file in the Graduate Program Office. The title of the MRP, the name of the supervisor, and the final grade will be entered on the student's transcript.

Water needs to go somewhere – how do you handle that? In an indoor paintball field, you really need to address what is going to happen to the water. I have heard from multiple fields that they handle it in different ways. I've talked to fields that used extensive under turf draining systems. Others do nothing.
It would be nice to at least have a few drains, maybe at each end of the field. When we had to go in and do the first initial cleaning of the turf – it was handy. We even hooked up a constant flow hot water heater, so we could flood the field with very hot water to wash everything down the drains. We located the drain holes below the turf, and cut tiny little holes to help the water get through. The concept was, the hot water would break up the grease, and it would flow to these drains and out.
The more water you use, obviously the more drains you will need. I also know of people that don't use drains at all, and they use absorbent materials to soak up moisture off the turf. The place I bought my turf from did their field by sprinkling DE on the turf, then using a pull behind yard pick up device with brushes (for picking up leaves in your back yard) pulled by a small lawn tractor or a 4 wheeler. I've also heard of people using kitty litter to try to get up moisture and knock down odors.
We also put drains in the staging area so when mopping, there were floor drains for excess water to go down. Of course now I use GatSplat logo carpet in my lobby – as it goes with the look we are shooting for. This is a bit expensive and requires a lot of steam cleaning, but it's the look we wanted to go with.

Beware of Fixed Term Employment Contracts
A recent decision of the Ontario Court of Appeal (which the Supreme Court of Canada has declined to reconsider) highlights the danger of using fixed term employment contracts. The employee was hired for a 5 year term pursuant to a written employment agreement. The agreement also stated that "Employment may be terminated at any time and the amounts paid to the employee shall be in accordance with the Employment Standards Act". After 23 months, the employee was fired and paid two weeks' severance in accordance with the Employment Standards Act. The judge found the termination provision ambiguous, and ambiguity in an employment agreement is always construed against the employer. The Court of Appeal agreed, and confirmed that the employee was entitled to be paid for the remainder of the 5 year term (a hit to the employer of $180,000, not including the legal fees of the case!). If you use fixed term employment agreements, it is strongly recommended that the terms be precise and carefully drafted.

PNJ is the only jewelry company listed in the Top 100 most sustainable companies in Vietnam in 2016 and honored to be among top 10. More impressively, only in the first 10 months of this year, PNJ has exceeded the year's profit plan by 10%, reaching 510 billion dongs.
On 8 Nov 2016, in Hanoi, Phu Nhuan Jewelry Joint Stock Company (PNJ) was honored to be ranked in the Top 10 among 100 most sustainable Vietnamese companies in 2016.
The recognition ceremony was held by the Business Council for Sustainable Development in collaboration with Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs, Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT), Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, Vietnam General Confederation of Labor and the State Security Committee.
The evaluation dossier was CIPS Sustainability Index (CSI) comprising 151 highly quantitative criteria established by experts in economy, society, labor, environment fields. The CSI clearly reflects reputation, brands of businesses, their capacities in attracting human resource, operation process, development potentials in the future as well as their social responsibilities and environmental responsibilities.
Ms. Cao Thi Ngoc Dung (in the middle of the photo) – PNJ's General Director – was awarded the certificate of Top 100 most sustainable Vietnamese companies
As the unique jewelry company named in the said Ranking, PNJ has shown its right steps in the strategy that focuses on sustainable development with leading objectives including developing highly qualified human resources, enhancing value of the supply chain, promoting creativity in development products, environmental protection as well as regularly conducting activities that contribute to the social security.
Above criteria are also key elements in PNJ's future development strategy that are vividly shown in the 2015 PNJ Sustainable Development Report under a comprehensive view and analysis of three major aspects: Economy – Environment –Society.
PNJ is among Top 10 sustainable Vietnamese businesses in 2016
Ms. Cao Thi Ngoc Dung – PNJ's General Director – said, with its sustainable development philosophy "Putting customers benefits and the society into our benefits", for many years, PNJ had always put emphasis on and ensured harmonization in linking our benefits with the development of people, society and environment protection since this is the prerequisite for the existence and sustainable development of our company.
She affirmed that the fact PNJ being among Top 10 in the ranking of 100 most sustainable companies in Vietnam in 2016 would be a motivation for it to continue maintaining the sustainable development model that it had been building, to be persistent with its vision as becoming the leading jewelry retail trader and manufacturer in Asia, and to maintain its number 1 position in high- and middle-end segments in Vietnam's jewelry market.
Furthermore, PNJ has just announced its business results in the first 10 months this year with notable results: total revenue reaching 6,725 billion dongs, up 15% compared to the same period last year. Of which, total revenue from retail sale increases 27% compared to the same period last year. Pre-tax profitability reaches 510 billion dong, up 33% compared to the same period last year. The business has achieved 110% of the year's plan.
Besides, PNJ's retail distribution system has also recorded a strong development with the launch of 20 new branch stores, increasing the total number of retail stores to 226 in 47 provinces and cities nationwide, maintaining its position as the jewelry company with the largest distribution system throughout the country.

The thought process on the stock was mostly sound.The price points were off. So it didn't work as planned.My lesson for next time: Don't have such a small window between the cause of the stock surge and the close of the option. I lost most of my investment. If I had bought June calls, I would have another month to wait for a higher stock price. I guess I was too cheap to pay the extra premium - my loss!
yos9694. The reason to play this through options rather than owning the stock outright.If I bought options at $7 a piece, then I can buy 5 options - controlling a total of 500 stocks - for $3500.If I were to use $3500 to buy the stock, at $125 each, I can buy 28 individual stocks.So if the price went up to 135, the gain would be $10 x 28 = $280But 5 options with a gain of $3 a stock (125 + 7) is 500 x 3 = $1500I didn't think about using puts as a hedge. It's probably sometimes a better strategy.
+1 although i only lost a small part since i bought at a lower price point than you, it would be worth to have a little later expiration. as you saw Fridays action would've helped the situation
Later expiration = a little more $$ spent on a little more time value. Seems like a waste of money.
Yes, I understand. But why spend money on time value at all? I simply don't think the strategy makes sense, because you are paying for something you don't want. Options have their uses, but in your case its the stock you want, so buy the stock.
No you don't. And if you do invest this way, just know that every time you make money you could have made more money if you had invested properly, and every time you lose money you could have lost less money by investing properly.
Risk shmisk. If you're not buying crappy stocks you're not risking everything. Buy with a "margin of safety" as described by Benjamin Graham. You can buy options in a terrific company and still lose the entire investment. That won't happen to you when buying stock outright if you follow basic guidelines.
You can buy stock in a "terrific" company and still lose the entire investment too. That is a very foolish statement not supported by facts. Ever heard of Enron, or Lehman Brothers? American Airlines went down below 15 cents. If you think it can't happen to your great stock you haven't been around long enough.

jacquelinec's heart has been captured by Vya Vermouth, a half-sweet, half-dry vermouth. Serve it on the rocks, and sip it. Chris VR agrees, never having realized vermouth could be so good on its own.
warrenr insists that the best sweet vermouth on Earth is Carpano Antica Formula. It's almost too good to mix. And darren72 recommends Carpano's Punt e Mes, which is also excellent on the rocks.

F.A.Women's Cup - Road to the Final
West Ham United are through to the Fourth Round after winning their local derby tie 5-0 against Queen's Park Rangers with striker Natalie Grafton scoring a hat-trick.
The Hammers must now face a team from their own division for a place in the last sixteen, as they must play Colchester United who reached this stage with a 3-1 victory over Luton Town at the third attempt, following a postponement and an abandonment.
Colchester have made a rapid rise up the women's football ladder in recent seasons after originally being promoted to the South East Combination in 2002. Relegated two years later, they made an immediate return by winning the Eastern Region League in 2004-05 and going on to carry off the South East Combination Championship last season, to reach the Premier League for the first time.
This season, Colchester's playing record is a little bizarre as they have struggled to win matches at home but have recorded victories in each of their five away matches! They currently sit in mid-table as they seek to consolidate their new status.
The first team is managed by Dmitri Halajko with Steve Bartlett as Coach. Helen Bass, signed during the summer from Ipswich Town, has 13 league goals to her name this season and is partnered up front by England under-19 international Kate Longhurst. Many of the Colchester squad are products from their Female Football Academy. Last season, the U's reached the Fifth Round of the Cup where they lost to Birmingham City, having knocked out Aston Villa on the way.
Harlow Town FC will host this tie and it is set to be a close battle between two teams who are level on points in the league, West Ham having won their league meeting 2-1 earlier in the season.
West Ham Utd (from): Paris Smith, Toni-Louise Munro, Jessica Barling, Grace Coombs, Hannah Gilmour, Carly Roache, Julia Setford, Jay Blackie, Tracey Duxbury, Natalie Grafton, Danielle Hoy, Lindsey Morgan, Sam Pittuck, Claire Rogers, Natalie Crinean, Katy Ling.
Colchester Utd (from): Nikita Runnacles, Rosee Golding, Hannah Porter, Laura Guyon, Danielle Griffiths, Amy Quinn, Toni Smith, Leesa Haydock, Kate Longhurst, Helen Bass, Emma Dunmore, Carman Joyce, Paige Chappell, Laura Rhodes, Emma Wake, Charlotte Twydell, Catherine Hyndman.

Culinary Classes
What about cooking yourself a typical dish from Rio de Janeiro?
The perfect rainy day activity to enjoy while in Rio de Janeiro is a cooking lesson in the native cuisine. Brazilian dishes are quite unique and very tasty. They are also quite easy to make at home.
History of Brazilian Food
Brazilian cuisine is a mix of three cultures. First, there are the native Indians that used the local fruits and vegetables such as Cassava and Mango. The Portuguese quickly colonized Brazil in the 1500s and 1600s bringing with them their traditional dishes. Finally, African slaves inserted their gastronomic influence, as they were the primary chefs for the wealthy Portuguese. Other influences come from the arrival of Italian and Germans immigrants, mostly in the south. There was also a considerable flow of Asian immigrants, Lebanese, Turkish, Israeli and Japanese, which helped create a wide variety of local cuisine. The northeast of Brazil that had great French and Dutch influence has traditional dishes inspired by these cultures.
Common Ingredients
Most of the ingredients used in Brazilian food are grown locally. Cassava, yams and peanuts are very popular ingredients. Fruits such as pineapple, guava, acai and mango find their way into many different traditional dishes. Pine nuts and its larger cousin Pinhão are used quite frequently as garnish. Fish and shellfish are especially popular in Rio de Janeiro as well as other cities up and down the coast. Inland, beef and pork are more popular. When taking cooking classes in Rio de Janeiro you will learn how to use many of these local ingredients.
Traditional Dishes
From this delectable combination of Indian, Portuguese and African cuisine some traditional dishes have been created. A typical Brazilian menu might include Moqueca, a seafood coconut stew with a side of Aipim Frito or Cassava Sticks. Batida de Coco, a coconut drink with alcohol accompanies Pé-de-Moleque or Peanut Molasses Brittle for dessert. Other traditional dishes include a bean and meat dish called Feijoada Completa. Arroz-feijao or rice and beans, is a Brazilian dish made with black beans in Rio. Farofa, which consists of manioc flour fried in butter and added bacon, eggs and even banana, it is one of Brazil's most tasty accompaniments. The dish called Carne Seca com Abóbora,which is dried meat with pumpkin is another delight of the local cuisine.The national drink, made with the cachaça is called a Caipirinha.
Taking a Cooking Class in Rio
One of the best cooking experiences in Rio is called "Cook in Rio" run by chef Simone de Almeida. This one-day class teaches students how to cook a complete native Brazilian meal. While you are cooking, Simone provides commentary on the history of the dishes. The classes are very informal and usually begin with instruction on making a Caipirinha. The rest of the class is spent sipping on these Caipirinhas while assembling the ingredients for the meal. Simone is quite funny and the class is very entertaining. The classes can be taught in English or Portuguese. Be sure to book well in advance as her classes fill up fast. "Marias Culinárias" is a family-owned Brazilian culinary school. They teach not only cook but how to manage the kitchen, special dishes, microwave cooking and etc. The dish made by a teachers' team won a contest for best dish of cod in the country. The lesson of two hours costs around 65 dollars.

The source of the Gudenå and Denmark's first waterpark
Take a walk in the past
The source of the Gudenå is located the middle of Tinnet krat at the ridge of Jutland. An old myth tells us how Gudenåen got its name.
It is said that the river got its name after the uncontrollable thief Gudar. He kidnapped a girl in Tinnet krat and tied her to his horse carriage. He led the carriage through a twisting path so it would be harder for potential pursuers to follow him. The girl's father contacted one of the wise men in the town and asked for help to catch the thief. First the wise man sent the fire after Gudar but as the wise man couldn't control the fire, he sent the water instead. The water followed Gudars footsteps and caught up with him when it reached Randers fjord. Gudar drowned while the girl survived. According to the myth this is how Gudenaaen got its name.
If you are up for it you can follow Gudars trip on the river from Tørring and all the way to Randers in a canoe or kayak.

"Denmark's first water park"
The remains of Denmark's and perhaps Europe's first water park is to be found at the source of the Gudenåen. The first pool was built around 1920. It was originally built as a water trough for the animals but the kids and servants of the area started using it for bathing. More pools were built in 1938 where the park official opened as a water park.
It was also possible to find a carousel and a waterslide in the park. The waterslide was build of wood. Canvas bags were applied with some sort of tar which made it easier to slide down the water slide. A ride in the waterslide included the risk of getting splinters in the body. Around 1943-44 a small restaurant opened in water park where you could bye coffee and cake.
The waterpark hosted sport parties with handball tournaments and riding competitions. The waterpark could attract up to 400 visitors on a warm summer day. It is not known for certain when the waterpark closed but it is assumed to have happened between 1947 and 1950. Waterparks have since sprung up everywhere, but the old waterpark at the source of the Gudenåen is one exiting piece of our national history.

Two years ago, Gawker and some internet sites posted about the story of Anthony Stokes.
There was a great deal of accusation about racism, a discussion about who deserves the very limited supply of organs for transplant and how that decision gets made. A lot of sensationalism and misinformation went around and there was, as usual, no shortage of righteous indignation. There was a lot of emotional discussion, including here on Groupthink.
For whatever it is worth, two years on, this happened last night:

Minerals used to make pots and pans
Pots and pans are made of a variety of metals, and these all come from different minerals. Some pans have a non-stick coating made from fluorine. Fluorine comes from the mineral fluorite.
Together, these minerals make pots and pans:
- Strong
- Impermeable
- Rustproof
- Heat conductors
- Non-stick!
Bauxite (top right), goethite and fluorite are used to make pot and pans

Crazy product snags $100,000
A CHICKEN nugget crossed with a doughnut.
It's something that should have happened a long time ago. Thankfully, someone has invented it - and he's picked up a $100,000 deal on Shark Tank to bring it to the world.
Melbourne man Crag Carrick and his wife Rachel Dutton entered Tuesday night's episode seeking $100,000 for a 20 per cent stake in their new business, Donug.
"I'm not changing the world with this product," he said. "I'm giving something that's fun, it's easy to understand, people get it straight away."
While the Donug is a combination of doughnut and chicken nugget, he said there was "nothing sweet about it". "All savoury. It's 98 per cent chicken that has our unique and top-secret spice mix," he said.
"It's got then a cornflake and panko crumb and three different sauces - a cheesy dijon bechamel, a golden Japanese curry and mozzarella, a hot chilli, or you can have it just on its own."
Mr Carrick said every day he went on social media and saw "some crazy new food trend coming up in Japan or LA". "I want this to be the crazy new food trend coming out of Melbourne," he said.
RedBalloon founder Naomi Simson was impressed, saying she "wouldn't eat a chicken nugget" but would "definitely eat that". "People are looking for a full meal, and I think it is a whole meal," she said. "It's quite substantial."
While the Sharks were impressed with the taste, they were more impressed with the numbers. Donugs sell for $9 but cost $2.20 to make, with that figure to rise to $4 at the manufacturing stage. Mr Carrick said he had only done two events so far but had already made $8000 in profit.
Mr Carrick wanted the investment to "take it to the next level". "I want to go to the manufacturing stage," he said.
"I've been working with a manufacturer so far trying to get a prototype together. $100,000 basically kickstarts the process. $50,000 gets me my first 10,000 Donugs made, $40,000 is for a proper event set-up, and the $10,000 is for insurance and branding."
Internet entrepreneur Steve Baxter loved the taste but had concerns about the viability of the business, saying it was a "very uncomplicated product". "You mince up some chicken, throw some spice in, shape it," he said.
Investor Andrew Banks also wasn't convinced. "I'm sitting here asking myself, is it franchise? Is it partly frozen cooked at home? The execution risk is huge," he said.
"There's a million moving parts to get this from being a nice brand to something that's a really big business. I wish you well, but I'm out."
Greencross founder Glen Richards said he had moved into the "wellness space" with his food investments. "If you'd come on with a vegan, paleo, organic, nut-free, sugar-free, savoury snack, I'd probably go with you," he said.
Boost Juice founder Janine Allis said while she thought they were "onto something", they hadn't "proven [their] tenacity", asking them to "please come back next year".
But to everyone's surprise, Naomi circled in. "I don't think you need to come back next year because I'm about to make you an offer," she said, countering with $100,000 for 25 per cent of the business.
The couple happily accepted. "It's about getting Donugs sold here at every sporting ground, every servo, every fish-and-chip shop," Mr Carrick said.
Shark Tank returns to Channel 10 on Tuesday 12 June at 8:30pm.

Notice Boards
Notice Boards and A Frames
Consider Aluminium or Timber Notice Boards
A detailed pdf for both material options can be downloaded at this Notice Boards link
Notice boards give you the flexibility to display changeable graphics in a secure structure. The scrolling banner, above, provides a selection of recently produced notice boards.
The most common styles are:
- Glazed notice boards. These are hinged, usually lockable, and glazed with shatterproof polycarbonate. They are supplied with either a pinboard or metal backers. Metal backers accept magnets to hold your displays and rather than being a plain colour can be printed for an attractive display.
- Open pinboards. These allow anyone access to the display area (there is no lock or key), but are not protected from the elements. They are ideal when the graphics are frequently updated, and are often used in parks and town halls.
- A Frames. An ideal way to promote your events and activities. They are easy to move around and ideal if the graphics are frequently updated. The display can be one of three: a semi-permanent print, a white board, or, for complete flexibility, a blackboard.
Help with your graphics
Printed inserts can be produced by us from your own electronic artwork, or the designs can be created by Shelley. Please phone Rob Shelley on 01743 460996 to discuss your requirements.
Types of framing
Notice boards can be either wall mounted or post mounted, whether they are made of aluminium or timber (see below). We strongly recommend mounted notice boards vertically, rather than at a lectern frame angle, as the latter can lead to problems with condensation.
Choose your materials
Notice boards, display cases, open pinboards and A frames can be produced in:
- Aluminium – powder coated to agreed colours
- Oak – sourced from FSC suppliers
- Softwood – pressure treated
In Summary :
Notice Boards are used by organisations including Parish Councils and Friends Groups who need to communicate changeable information with visitors and local residents. They are commonly supplied as hinged, lockable units with doors and either magnetic or pinboard backers. They can be supplied in either timber or powder coated aluminium.
Shelley Signs are specialist suppliers of wooden and aluminium notice boards, display cases and A frames for public open spaces.

Wm Angus family story
This CPHS website is pleased to report that plans are under way to showcase our Carluke VCs in early 2014 as part of the UK-wide centennial. Now, in our archives we regularly scan our copies of old local newspapers looking for period shop adverts and the like. One such page in our stories here is
newspapers 1909 1915
and it happens that someone had clipped the Gazette to save pictures of the homecoming of William Angus VC, nearly one hundred years ago.
The images are well known now, with Wm Angus arriving at Carluke Railway Station and also in the Market Place. Also included was an informal snapshot taken on the station platform of family members before the train arrived. That picture was shot by a reporter for another newspaper and was not widely published because Angus is not in the picture !
In fact it is a rare image of his family and is titled,
"An interesting group photographed at Carluke Station, showing the sisters, brother and nephew of the V.C."
Photo by "Weekly Mail and Record"
And that is as far as it might have gone, destined to remain in an old photo album. Until July of 2013 when purely by chance we received an email from USA . The writer had spent years on and off searching for any information that might tie her family in USA to a childhood conversation about VC Angus in Carluke. Could we help with any names ? We replied to the email and included links to cuttings from the Gazette and in fact sent a blow-up of the family group on the station platform.
A few hours later, we received a second email and it included a copy of a battered and damaged photo taken at the Angus home, the very same day that William Angus returned to Carluke. In both pictures is a little boy wearing a military uniform and the same girls who were dressed in white in both pictures. The email said that the picture had been in a family album forever with just a scribbled pencil note identifying the little boy as her great uncle.
The picture that was carried by the Gazette in 1915
and the picture of the family at their home
We are delighted to say that this has solved the mystery about William Angus, involving the side of his family who emigrated to America.
The lady in the flowered hat is Margaret (Angus) McLaughlin, who is William Angus older sister. At that time she was the only Angus who had married and she helped the younger siblings in some way. The small boy in many of the photos is her son, Frederick McLaughlin. He was later known as Uncle Fred.
Margaret ( Angus) McLaughlin came to the USA around 1952-53 to live with her daughter who had left Scotland for Canada in 1948 and moved to the US in 1950. Margaret lived there until her death in 1964. William Angus V.C. was their Great ( or Grand) Uncle
Glad we could help !
These are some rare photos taken of his regimental company.
Angus VC regiment sent the photos to Miss Jean Ramage in Mt Stewart Street in 1913.

Angus and other VCs were featured prominently on cigarette cards of the time.

Agent 1123 – Gemini Brett
As a certifiable StarryTeller, Gemini Brett devotes his Now as a living vow to the Marriage of Heaven and Earth. Looking back, Gemini Brett's path to our Starry Science is easy to behold. Wasn't he simply attempting to become a star himself while following his saxophone around the globe? Subsequent years redirected Brett's quest to the principles of aeronautical engineering, but fortunately a strange 2012 awakening broke him free from academia's mold. Since Gemini spied Jupiter at his Ascendant from the Jungles of Peru, studying and teaching the Sky is all he can do.
Agent 1123 made his C*I*A appointment official on 23/1/1 (that's 2017) with the launch of "Arts of the Chart," a devotional dance with Astrology choreographed by the Sacred Sciences known as the Quadrivium: Number in Nature, Sacred Geometry, Musical Harmony, and Astronomy. Whether you are new to the Starry Study or have been practicing for years or lifetimes, this journey is certain to be a blast.

JCU Department of Communications Welcomes Director Fred Kuwornu
The John Cabot University Department of Communications was pleased to host Fred Kuwornu for a screening of his 2012 documentary, 18 IUS SOLI.
Kuwornu is an Italian-Ghanaian award-winning filmmaker, producer, and activist born and raised in Italy. His films include two documentaries, Inside Buffalo (2010), and 18 IUS SOLI (2012), which examine issues of race, ethnicity, and national identity.
After a warm welcome and introduction by Professor Antonio Lopez, Kuwornu explained the purpose of his film as a means to inform and denounce the unjust, yet legal discrimination many second generation Italians face in their daily lives as a result of not having Italian citizenship: from being subject to deportation, to infinite residency renewal issues.
18 IUS SOLI highlights the inequalities between young people with Italian parents and second generation immigrants. Statistics demonstrate that nearly a million young people in Italy were born to immigrant parents. But despite being born in the country, they must wait until they are 18 years old to begin the long bureaucratic process that will lead to citizenship. On the other hand, in the United States and the majority of European Union countries, ius soli ("right of the soil") laws automatically grant citizenship to anyone born in national territory.
Fred Kuwornu's documentary tells the stories of eighteen young Italians whose parents emigrated from Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Born, raised, and schooled in Italy, they speak Italian as well as local dialects and often do not speak their parents' native language. They see themselves as Italian, and they are frustrated by the current Italian law that denies them citizenship.
The film, which is regularly screened in Italian schools, has led to an important social campaign aimed at voicing the experiences of the interviewees in the public arena in order to urge a response from Italian political authorities. Kuwornu has also been invited to present the film at many American universities including Columbia, Brown, NYU, and CUNY.
During the lively Q & A session that concluded the evening, several JCU students of multicultural backgrounds stated that they identified with many of the issues raised in the documentary. When asked what kind of impact the film had had, Kuwornu replied that no legal changes have taken place since the production of the film. At the same time, however, the film continues to play an important role in dispelling stereotypes and raising awareness of an unjust situation.

Teemu Lamsa
Turku Finland
Eligible for draft:
Eligible for the 2014 NHL Draft
200 lbs.
Prospect Talent Score
Probability of Success
2010-11: Teemu Lamsa appeared in one game with TuTo's U18 team and skated for the Turku club's U16 squad. He had no points or penalties in his one U18 game. Lamsa scored 15 goals with 14 assists in 14 games (including two playoff games) with the club's U16 team.
2011-12: Lamsa played for TuTo's U18 team in Division 1 hockey in Finland. He was third on the team with 11 goals and had 9 assists with 49 penalty minutes in 28 games. He also skated for the club's U16 team; scoring 4 goals with 3 assists and 4 penalty minutes in four games.
2012-13: Lamsa moved up to TPS Turku in Finland's top level of junior hockey and skated for Finland's U17 team in the 2013 World Hockey Challenge. He played in ten games for the TPS U20 team and was an assistant captain for the club's U18 squad. Lamsa had 2 assists and was +3 with 2 penalty minutes in ten U20 regular season games. He had an assist and 2 penalty minutes and was an even plus/minus in four playoff games. In 39 games with the TPS U18 team, including five playoff games, he scored 16 goals with 16 assists and had 90 penalty minutes. Lamsa led Finland with 6 goals and had 6 penalty minutes in five games at the WHC.
2013-14: Lamsa skated for Finland's U18 team in the 2013 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament in August before returning to TPS for his second season with the club. In his first 30 games with TPS' U20 team he scored 8 goals with 9 assists and was +8 with 18 penalty minutes. In two games for the TPS U18 team he had 1 goal and 2 penalty minutes. Lamsa had 1 assist and was +1 with 2 penalty minutes in four games at the Ivan Hlinka Tournament. He was ranked 38th amongst European skaters in Central Scouting's mid-term rankings prior to the 2014 NHL Draft.
Talent Analysis
Only in his second season playing at the top level of Finnish junior hockey, scouts have been attracted to Lamsa's combination of size and scoring ability. While still developing in terms of tactical play and technical skills, his two-way play and willingness to play a physical style are the strong points in Lamsa's game.
Lamsa dominated the lower division in Finland before making his jump to Finland's top league during the 2012-13 season. While it is difficult to project his long-term potential, his size, determination and successful transition to a higher level of competition, suggest he can be an effective power forward with some finishing ability at the pro level.

The Hussite Bible (Hungarian: Huszita Biblia; sometimes also "The Bible of the Franciscans") is the oldest known Hungarian, as well as general Uralic Bible translation, dated to the 1420s-1430s.[1][2]
The Hussite Bible is the only written vestige of Hussitism in Hungary. The book – or at least the most of it – was translated by Tamás Pécsi and Bálint Újlaki. Both Pécsi and Újlaki had attended the University of Prague in Bohemia between 1399 and 1411, where they got to know the concepts of Jan Hus, a reformist Christian theologian. Concluded from the calendar found in the Codex of Munich, the two Franciscan priests may already had begun the work in 1416, and they finished it at latest in 1441. Pécsi had had to escape soon from Hungary due to the Inquisition, thus he and many of his followers moved to Moldavia. They had been unsuccessful: the translation was confiscated.
The original manuscript is not known, most likely it perished. Most text of the Hussite Bible was revealed from partial copies. The most important extant copies of this translation are the Codex of Munich, the Codex of Wien, and the Apor Codex. Some other, shorter parts had been transcribed to other Hungarian dialects as well; these can be found in other 15th century Hungarian codices.
The translation's language is archaic, with many terms unknown in Modern Hungarian. Also, it contains several rare Old Hungarian words, thus provides an interesting insight to the Hungarian language at the time. These include (with Modern Hungarian equivalent and English translation in parentheses): monnál (mintegy, or so), midenem (nemde, is it right?), csajva (cserebogár, cockchafer), görd?let (mennydörgés, thunder), etc.
In some respects, the Hussite Bible's translators were the first reformers of Hungarian: they coined several new terms, which today sound constrained. Some examples: császárlat (imperium), czímerlet (titulus), ezerl? (tribunus), negyedl? (tetrarch), and so on.
The Bible's orthography was influenced by early 15th century Czech spelling. Pécsi and Újlaki adopted the system of writing special sounds with diacritic marks. (i. e, writing with ?, or with è, etc.)
This orthography later spread among the Hungarian Franciscan friars as well, and had a great influence on spelling in 16th-century Hungarian printed books. However, the modern Hungarian alphabet has different origins.
The oldest of the copies is the Codex of Wien. It contains parts of the Old Testament. The codex has 162 pages, each with a size of 216 by 142 millimetres. The book is the work of three hands from the second half of the 15th century. Since the 18th century, the manuscript was kept in Vienna (Wien in German), its earlier place is unknown. In 1932, it was moved to the National Széchenyi Library's Section of Manuscripts, Budapest, where it can be found today as well.
The Codex of Munich consists of 124 pages, and contains the four Gospels. Its size is 135 by 200 millimetres. The whole manuscript had been written by György Németi, who finished the work in Târgu Trotu?, in the year 1466 AD.
It is unknown where the codex was after its completion. The first page shows a reference to Johann Albrecht Widmannstetter(1506-1557) as an early owner, who was a philologist and book collector. After his death, the manuscript was transferred to the Bavarian State Library, where it is kept still today, in an excellent condition.
A complete facsimile was published in 1958, as part of the Ural-Altaische Bibliothek (Ural-Altaic Library).
The Apor codex got its name after its former owner, the Apor family. It is colligatum. Once it contained 208 pages, but 92 perished, and only 116 remained, the first 21 of which are badly damaged. Because of humid storage circumstances, other pages were harmed as well. Its size is 208 by 140 millimetres.
