At 8:19 a.m. we got to the US border control and the guard warned us about driving into Mexico. There was no line and in no time we continued on to the Mexican border control. There was no line there either and no one gave us a second look.Everyone we spoke with warned us against crossing the border at Juarez because of the danger (drug cartel wars), the crowds, the lines and again the danger. Dimitri decided that we should go through the El Paso/Juarez border because it is so busy that they know how to be efficient. His plan was to get there early (which we did) before the buses and so on arrived. His plan worked well.
On the map it looked like we could get right on the highway south from the border. Unfortunately the so-called highway went right through Juarez. Highway #45 isn't a highway at that point. (We really had wanted to avoid going through town because of the danger everyone told us about. Oh well, and no one gave us, or or Subaru station wagon, or our 2 bikes on the bike rack, a second look.) All of the roads were in good condition. Still no one gave us a second look. We took a toll road from km 216 to km 100 and the cost was M$139/US $10. Then there was another toll road into Chihuahua at km 31 and it cost M$53. (The exchange rate was about M$13.90 to US$1.)
We went through desert with some mountains. There were some bright green irrigated areas—mostly not. No sagebrush, a few yuccas some dry grass some dry brush. There was a very impressive Lateral Periferico, a 6 lane road around Chihuahua. Our Garmin GPS got us to our hotel but understanding her American pronunciation of words in Spanish was very difficult. That night we changed the language for Garmin to Spanish in order to have a fighting chance to understand the words.
Dimitri had made a reservation at the Wingate by Wyndam Chihuahua (Calle Sierra de la Campana 3701, Fraccionamiento Comerical Vistas del Sol, C.P. 31207, Chihuahua, Chihuahua, Mexico, tel. 614-180-3030, web: www.wingatechihuahua.com) and we thought it was a great hotel (particularly in comparison to the Dis-Comfort Suites in El Paso the night before. Click here to read the description of the Dis-Comfort Suites.)
The Wingate by Wyndam standard room was large and had two comfortable chairs and a desk. Our room had all of the amenities we like (mini frig., coffee maker, lots of storage space). The hotel was only 3 years old and the gym was equipped with new and very good Precor equipment. Even though Audre was tired after her day of tourist-ing, she got herself on the treadmill for 30 minutes. Our standard room #556 cost $98 per day and we decided to stay another night and tour Chihuahua.The only problem with our room was that the TV was in front of the bed, bolted onto the wall and could not be turned to make TV viewing from the comfortable chairs possible. On the other hand, there was a great made-to-order breakfast. In addition there was a Happy Hour every week night with enough food for a large-sized dinner. There was a free full bar (with hard liquor as well as beer and wine.) It was amazing.
When we arrived it was In the high 80°'s with a breeze. At 28.63° latitude and 1415 m (4636' in elevation) it was hot but not unbearable. Sorry to say but Chihuahua looks like Iquique in the northern Chilean desert. Mountains that look like brown sand (but, unlike Iquique, there was no ocean at the bottom of the sand mountains). Chihuahua is very hilly and the roads are incredibly steep in some places. It is the center of cattle country. The city has become firmly middle class with all of the maquiladoreos or assembly plans in Chihuahua. Evidently, more than 400 plants assemble mostly electronic and automotive goods for export.
Chihuahua started out life as a mining town (so did Iquique) and (unlike Iquique) got rich. Its riches are reflected in the buildings in the historic center of town. Some are quite beautiful and in good condition. (BTW, Audre described Iquique in our blog entry and so we will just refer our dear readers to that description and call it a description of Chihuahua. Click here to read it.
Why is Audre doing that? Because our Iquique description elicited a rude comment from a Chilean nationalist reader and she doesn't want to insult anyone in Mexico with her description of Chihuahua).
When we went to Happy Hour at our hotel we met Nicholas and Magdelana Bustillos from El Paso and made a date to have dinner with them the next night. Manuel, who worked at reception at the Wingate by Windham, recommend the restaurant we went to after Happy Hour. The hotel shuttle took us to our first dinner in Chihuahua which was at was at Mesón de Catedral (Victoria #200, 2nd Piso, Chihuahua, Chih. Mexico, tel. 614-410-1550, (A un costado de Catedral), e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com). We had a wonderful meal. It has only been open for 3 years. It is in an architecturally interesting building that fits into its neighborhood of 19th century buildings. The restaurant has a great view of the cathedral and the Plaza de Armas (unfortunately there was major construction being done at the time around the plaza.) There is a terrace as well as an interior dining room but it was all wide open and there was a good breeze. We chose to sit in the dining room that was well decorated and comfortable. Jesús was our server and he was very good and professional (and spoke good English). First he brought chips with 2 types of salsa (one really spicy and one really good). We understand that chips and salsa are served in all Northern Mexican restaurants (like in the States). We shared everything as usual and started with "Los Comales, raja (strips) con asadero (made by Mennonites) y machaca a la Mexicana, servido en dos camales, acompañados de tortillas de maiz (o harina)" M$120. We were served two small skillets--one with a cheesy mixture and one with a meaty mixture. The combination in a tortilla was really good. We had one glass of cabernet (Casillero del Diablo from Chile) for M$60. Our next course was "Filete de res en salsa de chipotle servido sobre un espejo de salsa chipotle, acompañado de tomatillos y papa rústica". For dessert we had "Pastel de elote con salsa de rompope con nieve" (M$55) and a decaffeinated coffee (M$22). The dinner cost M$437 plus tip or about US$30.
The next day we took a city tour on a trolley. (Tarahumara Tour of Chihuahua (price for seniors M$80 each = M$160 by Chihuahua Barbaro Recorridos Turisticos, tel. 52-614- 425-0006, web: www.chihuahuabarbaro.com (at 10 am, 12:30pm and 16:00). It started at the Plaza de Armas where there are some beautiful buildings.
|Chihuahua was rich! Audre is standing in the courtyard of the magnificent Palacio de Gobierno
Our guide was good (but he never told us his name). There were 6 other people on the tour. It was in Spanish but understandable or Dimitri or the other people translated for Audre. We drove around Chihuahua and the guide pointed out things we should look at and told us historical facts. The name Chihuahua derives from the Tarahumara language, meaning "between two waters;" other accepted definitions are "place of the holed-rock" or "dry and sandy place"--which is very appropriate. The name itself is older than the Spanish conquest of Mexico and has nothing to do with the dog of the same name. We call the indigenous people the Tarahumara but they prefer to be called Rarámuri (which means those who run fast). Tarahumara is a Hispanicized corruption of their name.
Our first stop on the trolley tour was the Museo Historico de la Revolucion (Casa del General Francisco Villa en Chihuahua) where the entry fee was M$10 x 2 = M$20. We learned much more about Pancho Villa than we ever thought we would want to.

A Tale for the Modern Attention Span
Crescendo Cove has seen a lot of nice days in its day, but perhaps never a nicer day than the day today. Just look, the sun is beaming from a cloudless sky and a warm breeze caresses the faces of the guests as they file into the chapel on the grounds of stately Bolt Manor. What a perfect day for a wedding!
The entire chapel has been renovated to accommodate this affair and it's been decorated splendidly in honour of the occasion. Flowers have been flown in from all corners of the earth, no expense has been spared.
The Reverend Lester Izzmore, himself looking regal with his silver hair and black robes, has just emerged from the chapel's vestibule and taken his place at the altar. He nods to the organist in the loft at the back of the chapel and instantly a majestic flourish fills the room. With that, groom Hugh Gerald Rection steps in through the side door and takes his place in front of Reverend Izzmore. He is followed by his best man, a friend from work named Warren Pease. They turn and face the back of the chapel, focussing their gazes on the spot from which Hugh's beloved will start the march that will end with the two of them eternally and inextricably linked.
Hugh looks nervous, but that's to be expected on one's wedding day—no matter how much you love the person you're about to marry.
The organist switches to the traditional wedding march. In response, the entire congregation stands and looks to the back of the chapel. They lean forward and crane their necks, eager to get the best view of the bride. Before she emerges, her Maid of Honour Consuela comes down the aisle. Everyone in attendance thinks it's delightful that Viveka has bestowed this distinction upon her housekeeper. It shows that she's above class-consciousness, that she's real people.
Consuela, it must be said, looks lovely. Normally she's such a whirlwind around stately Bolt Manor, one doesn't get a chance to admire her graceful figure, her dark hair, and blackish eyes.
Finally Viv appears on the arm of her youngest brother—who looks extraordinarily handsome in his tuxedo (although the only eyes on him belong to Beth Breath; she accepted her invitation to the wedding much to the surprise of most people). Today everyone has come to see the bride. And the moment they do, all females older than Viv are sick with envy; all of those who are younger say a silent prayer that they'll look as good as she does when they're her age; and all of the men—even those married 50 years, some who haven't had an adulterous thought in their lives, some who haven't had a sexual thought in decades—look at her hungrily.
Yes, Viveka has been dieting and exercising in preparation for this moment, and it has paid off. The simple, tasteful gown she's wearing (one that is appropriate for a woman her age getting married for the second time) hugs her shapely arms and shoulders, then swoops across her chest, offering a tantalizing glimpse of her ample bosom. The dress tapers down to her thin waist and flares out over her curvaceous hips. Happiness is radiating from her gorgeous green eyes, from her flushed cheeks, from her long, smooth neck, indeed from each of her elegant body parts.
Steel accompanies her down the aisle then passes her to Hugh in what all in attendance feel is an archaic gesture.
Yes, what a perfect day for a wedding. Surely nothing could go wrong.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued an arrest warrant for Ivory Coast's former first lady Simone Gbagbo for alleged crimes against humanity committed during the West African nation's post-election crisis last year.
The warrant, seen by Reuters, alleges that she was "criminally responsible for murder, rape, other forms of sexual violence, other inhumane acts, and persecution".
The wife of former Ivorian President Laurent Gbagbo, has been issued a warrant for her arrest by the International Criminal Court. Simone Gbagbo is the former First Lady and wife of the ex-Ivorian leader, who is already in custody.
Mrs. Gbagbo was questioned last week by Magistrate in Côte d'lvoire about her involvements in her husband's dealings, which include genocide and corruption.
She is in presently in custody.
RFI radio reported that the interrogation followed that of over 20 aides of the former President that began on May 31. Reports said Judge Koné Mamadou and Barrister Rodrigue Dadjé, one of the lawyers of Simone Gbagbo, were already in Odienné in the north-western part of the country since Monday November 12 where the questioning was held. Mrs. Gbagbo is one of eight people already charged with genocide. Last February, she was informed that the count of genocide had also been added to others such as blood crimes, threat to State security and economic crimes.
According to a judicial source, the questioning of Simone Gbagbo and two other former aides of her husband marks the last phase in the court process before the opening of their trials expected in the coming days.
Some observers say the beginning of the trials could help reduce tension in the country between supporters of her husband and the authorities.
Over the course of the investigation into Mrs Gbagbo's involvement, the government of President Alassane Ouattara has been suspected of selective justice. These allegations have been based on the fact that only supporters of Gbagbo have been investigated.
Many of those accused have been in custody for more than a year.
Now that the International Criminal Court in The Hague, Netherlands, has ruled that Gbagbo is fit to go to trial, it appears the court wants to waste no time in adding to their proceedings, Mrs Gbagbo.
The warrant, seen by Reuters, alleges Mrs Gbagbo was "criminally responsible for murder, rape, other forms of sexual violence, other inhumane acts, and persecution".
It appears that she faces the same charges of crimes against humanity, that her husband is facing.
They were allegedly committed in the wake of post-electoral violence in Côte d'Ivoire between December 16, 2010 and April 12, 2011.
More than 3,000 people were killed in violence, which resulted from election results.
The former First Lady has denied any responsibility for the violence.

Sam Roberts has been promoted to a full-time assistant coach position, according to information announced by VMI head baseball coach Jonathan Hadra Tuesday afternoon. Roberts will become the VMI pitching coach, replacing Travis Beazley, who left to accept an associate head coach position at Lynchburg College in early June.
"We could not be more excited about the opportunity to promote Sam into our pitching coach position," said Coach Hadra. "His tremendous amount of knowledge and feel for the game made this a very easy decision. Our cadet-athletes will continue to be impacted in a positive way because of his tremendous passion for this game and this job. He will also immediately connect with recruits and parents because of his own experiences he had while he was being recruited and while playing at VMI. Sam has always had a tremendous work ethic which will only help develop and recruit the type of players that we will need to compete at the championship level."
Roberts was drafted by Oakland following the 2011 season and spent five seasons in the A's system, reaching high-A in the 2015 season. Following the 2013 season, Roberts transitioned full-time to the mound and spent his final two professional seasons in that role. He went 5-7 with a 3.22 ERA in 72 relief outings as a pro and retired following spring training, 2016.
"I am honored to be given this promotion and would like to thank Coach Hadra for having the confidence in me," said Roberts. "Also, I would like to thank Coach Beazley and Coach Dykes for their help and guidance during my first year coaching collegiate baseball. I am extremely excited about this opportunity and look forward to continuing in the tradition of producing top-notch young men academically, militarily, and athletically."
A search for VMI's newest volunteer assistant coach is currently underway.

Zurich Financial 1st-Half Profit Jumped 93%, Helped by Cost Cuts
ZURICH -- Insurer Zurich Financial Services AG Thursday reported a leap in first-half net profit, as cost-cutting efforts offset weakening market trends.
The results underlined the insurance sector's continuing recovery from a stock-market downturn and a period of underwriting too many risky policies.
Net profit jumped 93% to $1.45 billion...

The insurance industry marches to a slightly different drum to that of other sectors because of the effects of the insurance cycle. While this pattern could justifiably be described as an infuriating and often illogical over-
reaction to the effects of supply and demand, this cycle has recently turned again, due partly to the World Trade Centre loss last September.
The sector is now set to become very popular with investors as it should offer some handsome returns.
The industry is already seeing substantial increases in
premiums and a reduction in sound, experienced insurance companies with strong balance sheets which can meet market demand. My own market focus is global insurance, which is important, as so much of the profitable underwriting will be done in the US. For UK investors with reasonably big and diversified portfolios, it is a global theme worth exploring.
To get to the bottom of why the insurance industry now presents such a good investment opportunity, it is first worth providing a brief explanation of how the insurance cycle works. According to US insurance analyst Dowling and Partners Securities, the cycle is split into four phases – cheating, pain, fear and restoration.
The cheating phase occurs when reported results are better than actual results. This sets in motion the process of weakening company balance sheets. This phase began in 1996 and accelerated in 1997 and 1998. Reserves are raided to boost results. We have seen this in 1997 and 1998 as prior-year releases have been used to bolster corporate performance.
The next phase is pain. This is when the balance sheet no longer permits the company to draw on the fat of prior years and companies begin to announce failure to achieve profit forecasts. Profits are undermined by the need to make special reserves. Investors desert the sector – 1999 equated with these conditions.
The third phase is characterised by fear. This delivers
a short-lived and cathartic shock during which insurance companies are forced to confront the reality of their predicament and bad underwrit-
ing. Some executives lose their jobs and others fear for theirs. Dividends are reduced and cashflow turns negative. Reinsurance dries up. Only one course is open to management – turn away poor unprofitable business, reinforce terms and conditions and, finally, raise premium levels. This point was reached at the end of 1999.
This phase gives way to the restoration phase, which started in early 2000. We believe we are now entering the strongest and most durable insurance upcycle for a generation.
For 10 years prior to 2001, insurance companies had endured unprofitable underwriting returns and supplemented their results with profits derived from their investment portfolios, as inflation and interest rates fell steadily, increasing the capital base or float supporting underwriting.
Strong equity markets were an added bonus, with the result that, for a decade, investment returns covered up poor underwriting. Some insurance companies also chose to reserve inadequately for liabilities on claims to be paid in the future, thereby temporarily assisting the profit and loss account. This imprudence historically has not succeeded in the insurance business and never will.
Against this background, rates continued to rise during 2001 and, equally important, policy terms and conditions imposed by underwriters were being tightened, reducing the level of insurance cover. The classic squeeze of more premium for less risk was firmly in place. The tragedy of September 11, with all its horror and financial implications, accelerated the process that was already underway.
Why should this insurance upcycle be deeper seated than the investment markets give it credit for and will it persist for longer than previous cycles?
First, the supply of insurance cover has been reduced dramatically, initially by companies withdrawing from the market, either voluntarily
like CGNU, which has moved from being a composite insurer to a pure life insurer following the sale of its US prop-
erty casualty operations, and involuntarily, like Independent Insurance.
Second, there is the impact of losses from the World Trade Centre, which are estimated to cost $35bn – the biggest insured loss in the history of the industry. To this total should be added up to $50bn of latent losses accumulated from earlier years of undisciplined underwriting and all too often inadequate reserving for asbestosis and environmental liabilities. In a report in May 2001, AM Best estimated a $57bn shortfall for asbestosis and environmental reserves.
Furthermore, as premium rates rise, so does the regulatory requirement for capital to support the underwriting. If we assume premiums will rise on average by 15 per cent in 2002, this will require a further capital injection of $25bn to support the new levels of underwriting, given that the US property casualty industry writes premiums to an expected $330bn.
The insurance industry needs $110bn of capital to meet liabilities and strengthen balance sheets in order to provide adequate insurance cover going forward. This figure dwarfs the new capital of $16.5bn currently raised. At these historically low interest rate levels, insurance companies can no longer rely on investment profits to paper over unprofitable underwriting. This will also discourage speculative entrants from outside the industry writing business at unprofitable rates and relying on an investment return, as happened in the past.
The capital raised to date is in the hands of insurance people – not naive capital – and all indications to date are that the new capital is price-disciplined. Also, there is a shortage of experienced quality underwriters, which will be a limiting factor on further start-ups.
As Alex Ferguson knows, there is only one David Beckham and he can only play for one club. The same applies
to talented underwriters.
There now exists a worldwide shortage of reinsurance capacity, which has led to a hardening of reinsurance premium rates. As reinsurance rates rise, the primary companies have to raise their rates as well to maintain profitability.
In 35 years in this business, I have not seen such favourable conditions and a market where the fundamentals are so propitious.
Another significant change affecting the buyers of insurance is the implication of underinsurance which the World Trade Centre loss has highlighted. The World Trade Centre was underinsured and this event has focused businesses across the world on the importance of adequate insurance cover.
No chief executive office will knowingly want to expose his balance sheet and thereby shareholders to financial risk beyond his control. The impact has been an unprecedented need for insurance cover, creating greater demand than there is supply. The insurers with the strongest balance sheets are able to cherrypick the best risks, increasing underwriting profitability.
We think this favourable scenario may continue for three or four years. Well managed, underwriting-driven property casualty insurance companies with strong balance sheets are well placed to benefit from this very strong cycle.
The caveat remains to invest in companies with good underwriting skills, a strong balance sheet and the ability to gain profits and rewards for shareholders. We believe the best placed companies come from the US. The large caps we favour are AIG, Marsh Mac and Berkshire Hathaway. Equally well placed are niche underwriting businesses such as Philadelphia Consolidated and WR Berkley.
I cannot put it any better than Hyatt Brown, chief executive officer of US broker Brown & Brown: "We think 2002 will be a damn good year."

09 Feb 2016 14:42
A friend showed up an hour early for my Super Bowl party and luck would have it I was actually ready and had the luxury to grab a beer and sit and talk with my old friend. We have been friends for just over 30 years and one of the secrets to our good friendship is we never pry into each other's personal lives.
Sitting and enjoying a beer together, I casually made a joke of how we are now 48 and actually have to start thinking about retirement and how it stinks having to be a grown-up. I was shocked when he turned serious and in a solemn tone replied "My only option is to work till the day I die…".
How do you respond to something like this? The first thought that ran through my mind was "You A—hole we were supposed to retire together, what were you thinking!" but of course this is not what I said. Instead I took a long swig of my beer, which felt like an eternity to swallow as I searched for words that wouldn't sound like pity or be condescending. Both he and his wife have decent jobs and a wonderful marriage, I could only guess he had no savings and the effort to get there was so large he relegated himself to the position of why try. This was a defeatist attitude which I never seen him have before and it pissed me off seeing him like this.
There was a pretty long silence between the two of us. The silence actually gave me time to pull some words together without prying into his personal life. I sighed and took a quick second swing of my beer and then turned to him and said "you know, a mound of cash isn't the only way to get to retirement". This statement did more than just break the awkward silence, it actually got his attention as he replied "Okay, I'm listening".
The rest of the conversation went like this …
Me: Instead of worrying about a mound of cash how about you focus on other aspects like reducing your spending and debt?"
Friend: No way can I live like a pauper or a hermit. Besides my wife and the kids wouldn't buy into it.
Me: No nothing like that. You can set small goals each year, like reducing your debt by some percentage each year till you are debt free by retirement age. As far as expenses, you could look to relocate someplace more affordable, it sucks living in Connecticut. Heck I'm paying $5,500 a year in property taxes alone. If I move down south that cuts expenses by $5K a year. How much are you paying?
Friend: About $6,200. But my wife probably won't want to move. She wants to be near the kids and her family.
Me: You could keep the house and let one of the kids live there and pay the taxes. It still gives you an anchor to the area for your wife.
Friend: Yeah but I don't have two nickels to rub together to buy another place.
Me: You can rent.
Friend: And where do I get the money for the deposit and moving expenses?
Me: So you set a savings goal for that like $10,000 or something. You got what, 15 to 17 more years till retirement? That's like $60 bucks a month.
Friend: That might work.
Me: Talk it over with your wife. If you guys are good with it come back and talk with me and my wife. Maybe we could co-ordinate a move to the same area.
Friend: That would be cool.
A couple minutes after our conversation a few other guests arrived and we did not speak of it again. Throughout the night my friend seemed more chipper than normal and it reminded me of how he used to be in our younger days. I don't know if I was our conversation that put him in a good mood or the alcohol but hopefully he found some solace and a way out of his problem.

[Cape Town, South Africa] 2017 has brought us the most anticipated rematch in EFC history. The build up to this fight included a reality show ,The Fighter,where we saw nothing but pure contempt between two champions, Irshaad Sayed and Demarte Pena.
All this came to an end on 16 December 2017, when Pena successfully defended his title in a convincing manner and set the record straight. He is the KING of the bantamweight division and ( I can say this with all confidence) the EFC's Pound 4 Pound best fighter of all times.
At the EFC 66 press conference Pena announced that he will be taking some time off and was not sure what he will be doing next or when he will be back. Late in December he announced the opening of his new gym, Ultimate MMA Fitness, along with friend and team mate, Themba Gorimbo.
On 4 January 2018 at 20:41, Pena made an announcement that shocked many people and left everyone wondering. He posted to twitter that he wants JP Buys to fight Sayed or the "French guy" (which I presume is Philippe Rouch, but this has not been confirmed) for the EFC bantamweight title.
What this means for Pena, we don't know yet, but will be sure to follow the story as it unfolds. See tweet below.
@EFCworldwide Bantamweight division needs a new champion @efcgraeme I think @wrestling_Jp vs @IrshaadSayed or vs the French guy. @richquan— Demarte Pena (@thewolfpena) January 4, 2018

No controversy: Young will start
SANTA CLARA - Unless he slips in the shower or a meteor falls on him this week, Steve Young will start for the 49ers next Monday night in Atlanta.
No one is more relieved than coach George Seifert.
"You bet," he said. "Compared to last week? Absolutely."
Young managed to survive Sunday's overtime victory in Washington without incident, which meant that when he left the locker room he actually knew what city he was in.
Twice in 15 days, the QB had to leave games prematurely because of concussive shots to the head that knocked him silly. But after a week off to regroup, Young played superbly against the Redskins.
That performance should have all but ended any debate amongst the 49er Faithful, who were having a high old time arguing whether Young could be trusted with the task of taking this team back to the playoffs or if backup Elvis Grbac deserved a promotion to full-time field general.
This discussion was not limited to pubs and office water coolers. Inevitably, the past couple of months Seifert found himself spending more time in his Monday press conferences talking about Young (his health, the latest CAT-scan, and whether he could, would or should start) than anything else.
But not this Monday.
Quarterback controversies are distracting. And they can be disruptive to the team. Not that the 49ers were choosing up sides - everybody who wants Elvis, raise your hand now. Seifert didn't pick up those kinds of rumblings.
The problem's more basic than that.
"It's been disruptive to our club from the standpoint that this guy has been playing, then he gets hurt, then this guy's playing, but the other guy comes back," Seifert explained. "It's had an effect on our synch offensively. I think that's one of the reasons we haven't been quite as sharp overall.
"But, hopefully, now Steve's to that point where we can just keep on trucking."
The 49ers players are in a difficult position. They can't act too thrilled about Young's return because that would sound like they were dumping on Grbac and what he accomplished.
"I would never take anything away from Elvis," tight end Brent Jones said. "Elvis can get us to the promised land, too. But Steve offers us that run dimension. When he's healthy, there's too many things he can do to hurt you."
Young was most effective at crunch time in Washington, something you'd expect from an athlete who has a reputation as a money player. He drove San Francisco for the tying touchdown in the final minutes of regulation, then to the winning field goal on the initial possession of overtime.
In the overtime loss at Green Bay Oct. 14, Grbac helped build a 17-6 halftime lead but struggled the rest of the way. And after replacing an injured Young against Dallas two weeks ago, he was equally ineffective the deeper the team got into a game that also ended in an overtime loss.
"I think Elvis is capable of doing it," Seifert said.
"Elvis can go in and run and move this offense. But a team gets used to a certain style of a quarterback. And basically we were a point where we were right-handed or left-handed. And that has an effect on a club."
Grbac can be a free agent at the end of this season. And there has been plenty of speculation already that because he is impatient to become a starter, he'll consider relocating. But Young has another year left on his contract.
So when Young was getting knocked goofy, the argument was made that his 35-year-old body had accumulated too many hits and he should be shown the door before he had to be carried through it on a gurney. The team couldn't afford to lose Grbac.
However, there's still one guy high up in the 49ers' chain of command who believes the veteran has tread left on his tires.
"I think what you look at, you look at a a guy like (John) Elway," Seifert said. "There was talk that he was getting hurt too much and, boom, here he comes, he's having a phenomenal year. Boomer Esiason had all those problem years and now look what he's doing.
"So I think it's difficult for anyone to say this guy (Young) can't play anymore. Steve can still do it." <

而他,Andrew Lahde,則因為看準時機乘風而起、急流湧退,大賺上億美金。這大概是一封全世界最糟糕的公開辭職信,但也一語道破了政府體制的失靈,金融市場的貪婪,句句直指核心,讓人讀來又忌妒又爽快。
Dear Investors, Today I write not to gloat. Given the pain that nearly everyone is experiencing, that would be entirely inappropriate. Nor am I writing to make further predictions, as most of my forecasts in previous letters have unfolded or are in the process of unfolding. Instead, I am writing to say goodbye.
gloat 幸災樂禍
say goodbye 這封信的刊出時間是2008.10.17,金融海嘯才剛剛開始,Lahde已經將對沖基金全數脫手。
Recently, on the front page of Section C of the Wall Street Journal, a hedge fund manager who was also closing up shop (a $300 million fund), was quoted as saying, "What I have learned about the hedge fund business is that I hate it." I could not agree more with that statement. I was in this game for the money. The low hanging fruit, i.e. idiots whose parents paid for prep school, Yale, and then the Harvard MBA, was there for the taking. These people who were (often) truly not worthy of the education they received (or supposedly received) rose to the top of companies such as AIG, Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers and all levels of our government. All of this behavior supporting the Aristocracy only ended up making it easier for me to find people stupid enough to take the other side of my trades. God bless America.
"What I have learned about the hedge fund business is that I hate it."
這句話應該出自於2008年的Mr. Sellers,前股票分析師,經營一間位於芝加哥的基金公司。
...I will no longer manage money for other people or institutions. I have enough of my own wealth to manage. Some people, who think they have arrived at a reasonable estimate of my net worth, might be surprised that I would call it quits with such a small war chest. That is fine; I am content with my rewards. Moreover, I will let others try to amass nine, ten or eleven figure net worths. Meanwhile, their lives suck. Appointments back to back, booked solid for the next three months, they look forward to their two week vacation in January during which they will likely be glued to their Blackberries or other such devices.
a small war chest 戰爭基金,廣義上用來指為達成某個目的預留的財產。Lahde在這裡強調曾有人訝異他賺到這裡就收手。
amass 收集、累積
Meanwhile, their lives suck Lahde嘲笑這些汲汲營營於「賺錢」的人,他們的人生「爛透了」。
What is the point? They will all be forgotten in fifty years anyway. Steve Balmer, Steven Cohen, and Larry Ellison will all be forgotten. I do not understand the legacy thing. Nearly everyone will be forgotten. Give up on leaving your mark. Throw the Blackberry away and enjoy life.
Steve Balmer 微軟前任CEO,2014年卸任
Steven Cohen 知名避險基金管理人,他的公司SAC Capital Advisors因內線交易被指控「詐欺」,檢察官稱其為「criminal enterprise」,他的6個員工分別被起訴不同罪名,而Cohen無罪,付了18億美金罰款,2014年起被禁止交易,2017年他創辦Point72 Asset Management LP,準備東山再起。
Larry Ellison 全球大型資料庫廠商甲骨文(Oracle)創辦人
…On the issue of the U.S. Government, I would like to make a modest proposal. First, I point out the obvious flaws 缺陷, whereby legislation was repeatedly brought forth to Congress over the past eight years, which would have reigned in 統治、支配 the predatory 掠奪性的 lending practices of now mostly defunct 頹敗的 institutions. These institutions regularly filled the coffers 金庫 of both parties in return for voting down all of this legislation designed to protect the common citizen.
This is an outrage, yet no one seems to know or care about it. Since Thomas Jefferson and Adam Smith 兩位美國開國元勳 passed, I would argue that there has been a dearth 匱乏 of worthy philosophers in this country, at least ones focused on improving government. Capitalism worked for two hundred years, but times change, and systems become corrupt. George Soros, a man of staggering 大得驚人的 wealth, has stated that he would like to be remembered as a philosopher.
這一段是Lahde投書媒體的真正原因。Lahde批評政府有8年時間可以應對金融危機卻毫無作為,兩黨勾結、利益交換,重要的借貸法規始終沒過,他在信中怒吼,自從Thomas Jefferson跟Adam Smith兩位開國元勳後,美國似乎再沒有改革政府的思想家。
With that I say goodbye and good luck.
All the best,
Andrew Lahde

When I think of spring makeup I imagine luminous skin, bright eyes and a stunning statement lip. Well spring has sprung and I'm here to give you all my tips & tricks to achieving a glowing complexion and my top picks for a vivid spring lip. Keep reading to find out my quick & easy routine…
Ok so for this time of year it's all about that glow. To start I like to apply my foundation using a Real Techniques Complexion Sponge (a great dupe for the beautyblender!). I find using this method achieves a dewy and super natural finish. And my favorite base at the moment is a sample I got of the Estee Lauder Perfectionist Youth-Infusing Makeup. This serum-based foundation is oil-free and would be great for those with combination or dry skin. After pressing my foundation into the skin I apply my NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in Vanilla in an upside down "V" under my eyes and blend out with the sponge. Now for bronzer I'll be using one of my favorite cream products, the Sonia Kashuk Undetectable Crème Bronzer in Warm Tan. To apply I use my Real Techniques Buffing Brush to apply to the hollows of my cheeks, sides of my nose, framing the forehead, and a little to contour the jawline. And then blend, baby blend. (For a full review of this bronzer click HERE.) After a light dusting of my Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in translucent I apply my favorite blush of the moment, MAC Powder Blush in Melba. This "soft coral peach" blush is so versatile and would look great on any skin tone. To finish off the face I dust a little of my Dior Skin Shimmer Powder in Amber Diamond on top of the cheekbones.
Now onto the eyes…ladies this is going to be crazy simple. First I fill in and define my brows with my Anastasia Brow Wiz in 'Soft Brown.' Next I highlight the inner corners of the eyes with a Stila eyeshadow in the shade 'Kitten.' This shade, found here in the "In the Light" palette is amazing, and such a gorgeous champagne highlight that would compliment anyone's peepers. Now for mascara I curl my lashes with my trusty Shu Uemura eyelash curler and coat my top lashes with the Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes 4-in-1 Mascara and bottom lashes with my favorite Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara. And then that's it for the eyes, three easy steps!
Drum roll please…the star of the show, the lip color. Ok, below I have listed my top four lip colors for spring. They're all super pigmented, long lasting, and will catch the attention of that cute guy at the grocery store. Seriously, don't be mad at me when you try them out at the store and have to buy all four.
- Marc Jacobs Beauty Le Marc Lip Crème in Clara – described as a "Bold Rose" and what I'm wearing in the picture above- $30
- NARS Satin Lip Pencil in Luxembourg- described as "Bright Watermelon" -$26
- Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupté Shine in Coral Incandescent - described as "A Bright Cajun Coral" - $36
- MAC Lipstick in Lady Danger – described as a "matte vivid bright coral-red" - $16
And that is it for my quick and easy makeup routine for spring! I have been loving these products lately and find these steps take me less than 15 minutes in the morning and leave me feeling polished and pulled together. I hope you enjoyed this post and are having a wonderful weekend. Leave me a comment below letting me know your favorite lip color for spring!
xoxo Nicole

Highly Suspect – The Boy Who Died Wolf
I've seen a trend lately of cover bands breaking out and making their own albums, writing original songs, and I think there are some really talented bands among these people. Highly Suspect is one of those bands; who once were doing covers of Jimi Hendrix and Sublime are now nabbing Grammy nominations and taking the music industry by storm. The band released their second album, The Boy Who Died Wolf, on November 18th, only a year after releasing their debut album, and it seems like they don't plan on slowing down. The lead singer, Johnny Stevens, has this bluesy,...Read More

Gynecomastia Surgery in Delhi or Male breast or Man boobs
This problem can be socially embarrassing for men as well as professionally uncomfortable. Dr. Rajat Gupta understands that people suffering from this may be depressed, due to social embarrassment may not be actively involved in outdoor sports activities like swimming etc, may not be able to wear tight fit clothes and may be feeling dejected about it. However, you are not the only one suffering from it as the percentage of people suffering from it is nearly up to 30-40% in different populations. So, one may call it just a small abnormal variation during development of breast in childhood through adolescence.
However there may be other causes leading to its development also like, intake of some medicines, drugs and some other systemic diseases as well. It would be prudent to get an appointment fixed with Dr. Rajat Gupta to rule out other causes and get rid of this socially embarrassing problem as quick as possible that too without leaving any telltale signs of the procedure!
Who should consider surgery for Gynecomastia?
- If you are not comfortable to remove shirt in public, to swim, to participate in outdoor sports or gym
- If you want to improve your body contours
- If you want to build up your confidence
What will be the scars like?
It depends on the magnitude of your problem. On most of the patients, scars are usually less than 5mm on hidden areas. For a very severe problem scar may be bigger around the areola (dark skin around the nipple) so that it is also hidden and camouflaged. Following surgery, you will have nice contour without obvious scars so that you can have the confidence to go out in public removing your shirt and participate in outdoor activities like swimming etc.
What is a Compression Garment?
A compression garment or belt is recommended by the surgeon after cosmetic procedures like liposuction, breast reduction, gynecomastia and tummy tuck. It helps to reduce the swelling by applying pressure on tissues and pushing the fluid back into veins and lymphatic vessels. The surgeon will ask you to wear the compression belt 24/7 for at least 3 weeks except for bathing and self-cleaning times.
At RG Aesthetics, we strongly recommend the use of a compression belt, as it brings the following benefits to help the procedure become completely effective.
- Postoperative Swelling is Controlled
- Prevents Collection of Left-over Fluids
- Contour and Final Appearance Are Improved
- It Helps to Improve on Scarring
At RG Aesthetics, custom belts are made as per the patient's size. Custom sizes are required because one size doesn't fits all and the technical requirements as per the procedure also vary. A perfect compression belt after liposuction is the tool to achieve better contouring and to sustain the results. The customized compression garments is monogrammed by RG Aesthetics Logo.
What is the Next Step?
If you have been thinking about getting rid of your male breasts or Gynecomastia Surgery in Delhi, contact us for an appointment where we can discuss your requirements in more details. You can call us at +91-9251711711 or email us at email@example.com. Our practice accommodates out of town and international patients who fly in for surgery as well as those who live in Delhi.
Patient is advised to wear pressure garment during first 4-6 weeks post surgery to keep the contours as designed during surgery.
Our prices are very transparent. To know about the cost of Gynecomastia Surgery in Delhi, click here.

Average: 4.9 out of 5 Stars
In 2008 my families business was looking over the end of the financial cliff and was desperate for business. Fresh out of school I started a sales crusade to save the family business. It didn't take me long to learn how much I didn't know. Selling capital equipment was complex and out of my league. Through divine intervention, possibly anyways, I was referred to Sandler Boise. Jim and Justin Stephens helped me right the ship and help my efforts in saving the family business. The skills I've learned, connections I've made, and habits I've created thanks to Sandler helped me start my own equipment brokering and consulting company and inspired me to start a second resale business. Sales is the number 1 business skill and traditional school doesn't offer anything in terms of value in comparison to what you will gain by training with Jim and Justin.

Data Recovery Services: You Get What You Pay For
The loss of data can be devastating to an individual or corporation. Whether you've lost personal documents such as photos or important correspondence or you've lost critical business data, the last thing you want to do is take a chance on a data recovery service that won't do the job correctly. Unfortunately, many people do just that. When they experience a loss of data due to malware, a system failure, or user error, they often call the cheapest service they can find or they simply choose the first data recovery service they come in contact with. It's a mistake to think that all data recovery companies are alike. While anyone can call themselves a recovery specialist, a true professional company is one that employs specialists with years of experience and that uses the latest equipment and technology to provide top-notch service.
By the way, you can get the best Raid recovery solution on our website.
What a Loss of Data Means to You
If you lose personal data, it could mean years of important photos of children and family members or other memories that are irreplaceable. It could also result in loss of vital records or private information that will impact your finances or security. A business owner could lose days or weeks of productivity and could expose their clients' private information to those who might exploit it. The loss of business files could also amount to re-doing work that your team has spent weeks or even years on, costing you thousands of dollars. Finally, a loss of data could negatively impact the trust your clients have in you and tarnish your image for both clients and prospects for years into the future. Many people do not take into account how devastating and long-reaching the effects are of a data breach or loss and how vital it is to recover information correctly and quickly should a loss occur. Thereofere, the best way get back your data is go to the data recovery services.
Do You Know What Your Data Recovery Service Offers?
A true data recovery professional knows that not every data loss situation is the same. Depending on the type of data lost, the reason for the loss, and the technology involved, the recovery process could look very different. We offer data recovery services for hard drives, RAID, server data, PCs, Apple Macs, SSDs, and laptops or notebooks. We also offer the following specialized recovery options:
Emergency data recovery: When hardware fails, it can often cause a business to grind to a halt. In these cases, emergency data recovery services is necessary to get you back up and running in the shortest amount of time possible. We offer emergency recovery services 24/7 and our specialists can meet our clients at their homes or places of business to provide convenient and quick service. With our rapid recovery options, we can get you back to full operating potential quickly and efficiently.
On-site recovery services: It may not always make sense for a company experiencing data loss to pack up their equipment and bring it in to a recovery service's office. That's why we offer on-site recovery services. Whether you need recovery for your on-site server or other hardware or you simply need us to retrieve data from your home laptop, we can take the hassle out of data retrieval.
Remote data recovery services: Need the fastest recovery services available? We know that a critical data loss can cost businesses thousands of dollars per hour. That's why we offer remote data recovery services in the event of user error or corruption where we access your equipment right from our own offices—no travel time or transportation required.
Virtual disk and server recovery: Many businesses rely on virtual options to facilitate their operations and keep costs down. When a virtual system fails, it requires specialized recovery techniques that our engineers are familiar with.
What Sets Our Team Apart from the Rest?
Many data recovery firms offer a flat-rate service and will tell you they can handle any type you may require. However, they simply do not have the resources, expertise, or knowledge that a true professional team has. Though we may charge more than a typical flat-rate provider, we craft each of our data recovery servicesprojects to the client and ensure we provide specialized and comprehensive service. Here are just a few reasons why using our expert services is worth what you pay:
Experience: Experience is critical in the data recovery industry. Over the years, we have performed thousands of data recovery tasks for all types of drives and manufacturers. We have worked with individuals, small businesses, large corporations, and government agencies to ensure their data is recovered quickly and securely. Our specialists understand what a critical data failure can mean and work with our clients every step of the way to ensure they are informed of the process and that all their questions are answered.
Equipment: Many flat-rate data recovery companies work out of a van or a small office. However, a secure cleanroom environment and lab are important for many types of recovery projects. Our engineers work out of certified cleanrooms and our hard drive recovery facilities are some of the best in the business. This allows us to handle sensitive projects in the most professional way possible.

Turkey Thoughts: Cats
Cats are everywhere! Everywhere you look you see cats. If you hate cats...don't go to Turkey! These aren't pet cats either. These are wild independent kitties! Curiously, they are fairly well behaved. Like I said, they are everywhere, which means picnic areas and outdoor cafes (which are also everywhere). We had several cats watch us while we ate but there was no begging or aggressive behavior. That's not to say they were all pristine show kitties. Some of these little furballs were a little bedraggled. Most were in good shape though. Dogs were fairly common as well but mainly in public parks.

FWIW, the line along the lake would be about the best dinner/scenic train route ever. But I've ridden it, about 1995 or so.

The Showcase series featured characters in either one-shot appearances or brief two- or three-issue runs as a way to determine reader interest, without the financial risk of featuring "untested" characters in their own ongoing titles. The series began in March-April 1956 and saw the first appearance of several major characters including the Silver Age Flash, the Challengers of the Unknown, Space Ranger, Adam Strange, Rip Hunter, the Silver Age Green Lantern, the Sea Devils, the Silver Age Atom, and the Metal Men.
The Metal Men are fictional characters that appear in comic books published by DC Comics. The characters were created by writer Robert Kanigher and penciller Ross Andru Debuting in the Silver Age of Comic Books, the characters have appeared in comic books and other DC-related products, such as animated television series, clothing, figurines and trading cards.
Created by scientist Dr. William "Will" Magnus, the six robots were field leader Gold, strong man Iron, slow-witted and loyal Lead, hot-headed Mercury, self-doubting and insecure Tin, and Platinum (also called "Tina"), who believed she was a real woman and was in love with her creator. The group's personalities mirrored their namesake metals, being dictated by devices called "responsometers". Each Metal Man also possessed abilities that reflected the traits of their namesake metal: Gold could stretch his form almost infinitely, Iron was super strong, Lead could block harmful radiation by morphing into thick shields, Mercury could melt and pass through small spaces before reforming, while Platinum and Tin could stretch, flatten or spin into fine filaments.
Offered here is a higher grade copyof Showcase #37.The Metal Men, as well as Will Magnus, make their first appearance in Showcase #37, making it quite valuable to collectors.
Incredible Hulk 181
Offered here is a high-quality copy of The Incredible Hulk #181 with value stamp. This is a whole and uncut comic. Hulk #181 is significant and valuable because it's the first full appearance of Wolverine. Wendigo makes a cover appearance as well.
Wolverine is a fictional superhero appearing in Marvel Comics, and commonly known as Logan. Wolverine is a mutant who possesses animal-keen senses, enhanced physical capabilities, and a healing factor. He has been depicted variously as a member of the X-Men, Alpha Flight, and the Avengers.
Wolverine first appeared in the last panel of The Incredible Hulk #180, with his first full appearance in #181 (cover-dated Nov. 1974). He was created by writer Len Wein and Marvel art director John Romita, Sr., who designed the character, and was first drawn for publication by Herb Trimpe. Wolverine then joined a revamped version of the superhero team the X-Men, where eventually writer Chris Claremont and artist-writer John Byrne would play significant roles in the character's development. Artist Frank Miller collaborated with Claremont and helped to revise the character with a four-part eponymous limited series from September to December 1982 in which Wolverine's catchphrase, "I'm the best there is at what I do, but what I do best isn't very nice," debuted.
He has appeared in most X-Men adaptations, including animated television series, video games, and the live-action 20th Century Fox X-Men film series, in which he is portrayed by Hugh Jackman in all seven films, although Troye Sivan plays the young James Howlett in the 2009 film.
In May 2008, Wolverine was ranked #1 out of Wizard magazine's Top 200 Comic Book Characters of All Time and was ranked as the 4th Greatest Comic Book Character by Empire magazine in July 2008. On their list of the 100 Greatest Fictional Characters, Fandomania.com ranked Wolverine at #21. In May 2011, Wolverine was ranked 4th on IGN's Top 100 Comic Book Heroes.
This is a rare highly sought after, very collectible, Bronze Age classic.
Who knows what the value of this key Silver Age could rise to?
This copy is a comic book that is above average in appearance. Good eye appeal on the cover, and intact Marvel value stamp.
Voodoo #14 (April 1954, Ajax-Farrell) Pre Comic Code Golden Age Classic Farrell is particularly known for its pre-Comics Code horror comics, mostly produced by the S. M. Iger Studio. Farrell's horror line consisted of Fantastic Fears, Haunted Thrills, Strange Fantasy, and Voodoo. All four books were produced by the Iger Studio and featured a consistent "house style." Like many horror comics, all four titles fell victim of the Senate Subcommittee on Juvenile Delinquency and were cancelled by the end of 1954. This gem from the Golden Age of Comics was pre-Comic Code, published in April 1954 by Farrell Publications, and produced by the S. M. Iger Studio. Voodoo #3 is special because there is the visual depiction of a person being stabbed in the face. Remember this was printed and published in the early 1950's before the Comic Code curtailed illustrated violence. Offered here is a mid-grade copy of #14 of Voodoo (April 1954, Ajax-Farrell). This early Golden Age classic from April 1954, by Ajax-Farrell, contains five (5) stories: "Witch or Widow," "Heads of Horror," "Morgue Bait," "Assignment Terror," and "Corpses...Coast to Coast!" The final story has zombies taking over America, making it very collectible and topically hot.
The Suicide Squad, also known as Task Force X (the name of a closely related but independent supervisory organization), is a name for two fictional organizations in the DC Comics Universe. The first version debuted in The Brave and the Bold (vol. 1) #25 (1959). The team's concept self-consciously emulated the World War II film The Dirty Dozen and the television series Mission: Impossible. These villains would agree to tackle missions in exchange for commuted prison sentences; thus, the Squad served as a partial explanation for what sometimes appeared to be a revolving-door justice system in the DC Universe.
There have been various incarnations of the Suicide Squad, from the Silver Age of The Brave and the Bold through four volumes of their own title, on into DC's New 52 continuity reboot.
The modern Suicide Squad (created by John Ostrander in Legends #3) is an antihero team of incarcerated supervillains who act as deniable assets for the United States government, undertaking high-risk black ops missions in exchange for commuted prison sentences. The group operates out of Belle Reve Penitentiary, under the directorship of Dr. Amanda Waller. The Suicide Squad's existence helps to explain why many convicted villains in the DC Universe roam free without having heroes tracking them down—until they, inevitably, attempt or commit another crime.
Offered here are the fifth and sixth appearances of the Suicide Squad as DC gave them a second three-comic run.
The Brave and the Bold #38 (November 1, 1961): The Suicide Squad is confronted by the spectacle of rampaging pterodactyls in the modern era. And there is a second feature The Suicide Squad is captured by an alien mirage master who sets a test for them with his illusions. If they fail, he will use his mirages to create chaos in the Earth and conquer it. This was the final 10-cent issue.
The Brave and the Bold #39 (January 1, 1962): While investigating the remains of a robot and a dinosaur, the Suicide Squad enter a cave, are swallowed by another dinosaur, and find an entire prehistoric world within it. And again there was a second story: The Suicide Squad is captured by an artist who turns them into golden statues and intends to sell them to a gang boss. This is also the first 12-cent issue.
Tales to Astonish is the name of a comic book series and published by Marvel Comics. Groot (also known as the Monarch of Planet X) is an extraterrestrial, sentient tree-like creature. Groot originally appeared as an invader who intended to capture humans for experimentation. The character was reconfigured into a heroic, noble being in 2006, and appeared in the crossover comic book storyline "Annihilation: Conquest". He went on to star in its spin-off series, Guardians of the Galaxy, joining the team of the same name. Vin Diesel will portray Groot in the 2014 film Guardians of the Galaxy through voice acting and motion capture.
Groot is an interesting character with unique abilities. Groot can absorb wood as food, with the ability to rebuild himself and enhance his strength. He can control trees, using them to attack others, and also appears to be resistant to fire. He is able to sprout, dramatically increasing his mass but also severely inhibiting his movement. Groot has been seemingly killed on three occasions, each time regrowing from a sprig.
This is a rare opportunity to grab a pre-super hero comic. The Atlas label is actually Marvel Comics before they were Marvel. Guardians of the Galaxy is poised to be a blockbuster this summer. Rocket Raccoon is already crazy popular; Groot is his partner. Who knows what the value of this key Silver Age could rise to?
Robert W. Farrell entered the comics field in the late 1930s after a decade spent as an attorney. Farrell begain Farrell Publications in 1940, operating until 1948. After a short hiatus, Farrel founded the Farrell Comic Group in 1951 with the financiasl backing of Excellent Publications. No matter the imprint, most titles contained the words, "A Farrell Publication".
Farrell is particularly known for its pre-Comics Code horror comics, mostly produced by the S.M. Iger Studio. The Iger Studio featured a consistent "house style." Like many horror comics, all four titles fell victim to the Senate Subcommittee on Juvnenile Delinquency and were cancelled by the end of 1954.
This gem from the Golden Age of Comics, featuring a pre-Comics Code "hanging panel"—that is, the visual depiction of a person hanging—was published in February 1953 by Farrell Publications.
This book is one of only six copies in the CGC census. This rare comic is CGC-rated at 5.0. The book was edited by Ruth A. Roche and created by Iger Shop employees, and contains five stories: The Weird Dead, Ghoul's Bride, Mrs. Garrity's Shadow, Killer Lady, and She Wanted to Know the Black Future.
Wolverine and Sabretooth are long-time enemies, although conflicting accounts have been given as to the origin of their feud. It is also known that he and Sabretooth were victims of the Cold War supersoldier program Weapon X, and that Sabretooth saw Wolverine as competition and tried to make his life miserable. While Wolverine is depicted as suppressing his more savage qualities, Sabretooth does the opposite and embraces them.
Here we have an excellent copy of Wolverine 310, the long-awaited sequel to EVOLUTION.
How did Sabretooth survive his beheading all those years ago?
Simone Bianchi's art is frequently gorgeous, with inventive layouts and supremely detailed flourishes in every panel. Even the muddy coloring and clarity problems that negatively affect his earliest Marvel work have been ironed out in this issue. Characters pop off the page, action is easy to follow and it all looks brilliant. This is the 1-of-50 McGuinness color cover variant. Signed by Simone Bianchi. CGC Signature Series graded 9.6.
Tales of Suspense is the name of an AMerican comic book series and two one-shot comics by Marvel Comics. The first, which ran from 1959 to 1968, began as a science-fiction anthology that served as a showcase for such artists as Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, and Don Heck.
Tales of Suspense and its siser publication, Tales to Astonish, were both launched with a January 1959 cover date. The early run of the first volume of Tales of Suspense ran from issues #1-38 (Jan. 1959-Feb. 1963), initially under Atlas Comics, the 1950s forerunner of Marvel; it fell under the Marvel banner with issue #19 (July 1961), the first with a cover sporting the early "MC" box. It contained science-fiction mystery/suspense stories written primarily by editor-in-chief Stan Lee and his brother, Larry Lieber.
"Offsetting the formulaic nature of the stories was a dash of invigorating absurdity," wrote one historian. "The tales had Kirby's energy and, courtesy of Lee, confessional, first-person titles typical of sensation-mongering tabloids and comics, such as, "I Met The Thing On Midnight Island!".
A Kirby science-fiction/monster story, would generally open each book. This volume includes: Gor-Kill, the Living Demon!, Those Who Lurk Below!, The Monster in My Cellar!, and I Met The Thing on Midnight Island!

The Common group is always activated, and contains events that apply to both the host and peers. This is another sensible way to organise events without having to duplicate identical events between the Peer and Host groups.
When someone else joins the chat room, On peer connected triggers. In this event the Multiplayer.PeerAlias expression is set to the alias of the joining peer. In this case we log that they joined and add them to the peer list. Note that On peer connected also triggers once per peer just after joining the room for everyone else who is already present. In other words, if there are 5 people already in the chat room when you join, On peer connected will trigger 5 times upon joining for each of the peers already there. While people already in the room are not technically joining at that time, it allows us to treat both pre-existing peers and newly joining peers the same way.
Open full size imageWhen someone leaves the chat room, On peer disconnected triggers. Similarly to connecting peers, Multiplayer.PeerAlias has the name of the leaving peer. The only small complication here is we need to remove their name from the peer list. To make sure their name is removed we compare each item in the list; if the item text matches the alias of the peer who left, it's removed.
Open full size imageFinally we handle the case where we are "kicked" from the room. This means we were forcibly removed from the room without requesting it. Usually this happens for one of two reasons. Firstly since the host is acting as the server for the game, if they quit then the game ends and everyone else is kicked. Alternatively after joining the room, if we cannot connect to the host within a certain time period then the signalling server kicks us out again. Some types of NAT make it impossible for a peer to connect to a host, and will simply sit there trying to connect unsuccessfully forever. The signalling server timeout (defaulting to 20 seconds) means you at least get the opportunity to join a different game, or retry.
Open full size image
The Peer group is only activated when we are in the room as a peer (so we are not the host). Note in this case we are only connected to the host - there are no connections directly between peers. The host acts as the server so if two peers want to communicate it must be sent via the host first, who then relays it on. This relay is dealt with in the Host group; for now all we need to worry about is sending and receiving messages!
First of all if we click Send or press Return with a non-empty message, we add our own chat message to the log immediately, and send a message with the tag "chat" in reliable ordered mode (using the Send message action). We wouldn't want to use unreliable mode (your chat message might never arrive!) and we wouldn't want to use reliable unordered mode either, since the network could change the order messages arrive in, and then chat messages could appear in the wrong order and possibly alter the meaning of the conversation! The message tag is also a simple way to identify different types of message. For example messages with the tag "chat" in this case are for public chat messages, but a different tag "private-message" could be used to message an individual only. Also note that as a peer, we leave the recipient (Peer ID) parameter empty to send to the host, since that is the only connection we have anyway.
Open full size imageReceiving messages is straightforward. When a message with the tag "chat" arrives, On peer message "chat" triggers. In this event we simply add to the chat log the name of the sender (with the Multiplayer.FromAlias expression) and the message they sent (Multiplayer.Message). Remember we don't receive messages we send ourselves, so this never triggers for our own chat messages - that's why we separately add our own chat messages to the log when sending them.
The Host group is similar to the Peer group, but instead we communicate with all peers. When the peer sends a message, they send it only to the host. However as host, when we send a message we must broadcast it to all peers so everybody receives it. This is done with the separate Broadcast message action which can only be used by the host. Also instead of specifying a recipient, we specify who the message is from, which is useful for relaying messages. In this case we leave the From ID parameter empty to indicate it is from the host.
Open full size imageFinally we reach the key part of the chat room: the host's relay. When the host receives a "chat" message, we add it to the chat log just like the peers do. However if we left it at that, we'd have a strange chat room: peers would only receive messages sent from the host, whereas the host could see everyone's messages. In order for peers to see other peer's messages, the host must relay them on to everyone else. So when the host receives a chat message, it also broadcasts it so all the other peers will receive it too.
Each peer has a unique Peer ID assigned by the signalling server, and can be used to refer to an individual peer permanently regardless of if their alias changes. As with the FromAlias expression, in the On peer message trigger the Multiplayer.FromID expression is set to the ID of the peer the message came from. So when the host broadcasts the message, it indicates it is really from that peer, not the host. This means when the other peers receive the message and trigger On peer message, the message shows up as being from the original sending peer instead of from the host. In other words the broadcast message is coming from the host, but we can say it is being sent on behalf of another peer. Also note that when we broadcast a message, it is not sent to the peer who we say it is from - that would pointlessly send their own chat message straight back to them. So the message is only broadcast to everyone apart from the original sender.
That concludes our chat room in 26 events! Hopefully now you have a good understanding of signalling, handling peers joining and leaving, messaging, and how to set up separate events for the host and peer.
If you feel like a challenge, try coming up with a way to private message individual peers in the chat room. In IRC this is done with a special chat message command starting with a slash, such as: /pm SomeUser hello!In this case the host would need to relay the private message as well, but by Send message instead of Broadcast message so it is only received by the intended recipient. You wouldn't want to broadcast private messages to everyone!

Wow this is fantastic .!
Спасибо хороший
Thanks for this - its going to need a few reads before it gets through my thick skull, but I'm sure it will.
chat room ... interesting!!!
PERFECT! Chat room is so much important for MP games!
VERY Exciting stuff!!! Can't wait to get started!
@Ashley - say my game can only work well with 2 players i.e. one host and one peer - is there anyway I can limit my multiplayer sessions to 2 players only?
Thanks for laying the foundation for all my new games.
very very interesting...
We'll translate these tutorials soon.
So awesome:D One question however I am trying to get the chat example to work on a server with https protocol. I get this message...Connecting to server...Signalling error: SyntaxError: Failed to construct 'WebSocket': The URL's scheme must be either 'ws' or 'wss'. 'https' is not allowed.Anyone know if it is possible to run multiplayer over a https connection?
@Matiu - the signalling server uses secure websockets, not https. The connection is already secure (since it uses wss: instead of ws:).
Thanks Ashley, I have since been reading up on wss:)
Can you maybe later describe more the signaling server part? Can we use this address for our own projects forever? Any possible tutorials for other alternatives?
Civilization V uses a system where when the host leaves the game, another player with the best connection/at random gets the host position. Can you implement this in the example?

Syria has retaken Aleppo
The Syrian armed forces says it has returned the city of Aleppo to government control, ending a four-year rebel hold over parts of the city.
The last rebel fighters were said to have been evacuated from the city on Thursday, handing President Bashar al-Assad his biggest victory of the war.
The army said it had brought "security and safety" to Aleppo, ending four years of rebel resistance in parts of the northern Syrian city.
The last group of rebels and their families holed up in a small eastern enclave were evacuated on Thursday, under a deal that gives the army and its allies full control of the city after years of fighting, Syrian state television said.
