Sample Options Trades Cost
# of contracts
Active Trader
For Options Trades, optionsXpress charges $1.50 per contract if <35 options trades per quarter with a $14.95 minimum. Otherwise it is only $1.25 per contract with a $12.95 minimum. The broker does not charge any options base fee or ticket fee. Thus, based on the $1.50 per contract rate, a 3 contracts order would cost $14.95 (the minimum) and a 25 contract purchase would cost $37.50 (25 x $1.50). Whether you want to buy call option, sell call option, buy put option, or sell put option or covered call, please check above commission structure.
Exercises and Assignments are an additional $9.95 for currently active options traders (see above for designation), and $14.95 for non-active options traders. To buy-to-close penny options (contracts under $.05), the rate is $4.95 + $.50 per contract. Note: Active option trader customers must maintain 35 or more option trades per quarter.
For Mutual Funds Trades, optionsXpress charges $9.95 per trade plus any additional loads or fees charged by the fund itself.
For Futures Trades, optionsXpress charges $6.99 (1-40 contracts), $5.99 (41-100 contracts), $4.99 (101-300 Contracts), $3.99 (301-1,000 Contracts), and $2.99 (1000+ contracts).
For Bonds Trades, customer will be charged $5.00 per bond with $14.95 minimum.
Final Thought
OptionsXpress offers variety of great features for its client base. The stock and options trading platform is well done. OptionsXpress also offers a large number of ways to trade such as web based trading platform and desktop software applications. The two desktop applications are Xpresstrade and Xtend. OptionsXpress also offer a mobile trading platform using iphone, blackberry, Android phone, Windows Mobile phone and Palm web OS platform.
The account opening process is quick and among the best in brokerage industry. The charts and research tools also provides additional tools for investors or active trades to have an edge in trading. One of the disadvantages especially for small investor is the commissions are a little bit too expensive. Stock commissions, at $9.95, are steep but at least somewhat competitive. To trade options, customer will be charge a minimum of $14.95 for the trades which is just too much to pay for the typical investor. I would only recommend using OptionsXpress for stock trading and not option trading. Though, I think active option traders may find OptionsXpress commission to be very competitive.

Waves are generated by wind blowing over the sea. The characteristics of waves are determined by the strength of the wind, its duration and fetch (distance a wave travels). The stronger the wind the greater the friction on the surface of the sea and therefore the bigger the wave.
Constructive waves
Constructive waves are flat and low in height and have a long wave length. Their strong swash carries material up the beach, forming a berm. They have a low frequency of between 6 and 8 waves per minute. The wave energy dissipates over a wide area which results in a weak backwash.
Destructive waves
Destructive waves have a large wave height and short wave length. They have tall breakers that have a high downward force and a strong backwash. Their frequency is high with between 13 and 15 waves per minute. Their strong downward energy helps erode beach material and cliffs. The strong backwash results in narrow beach profiles.
Tides are the rise and fall of sea levels. Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and to a lesser extent the sun. When the earth, the moon and sun are aligned the gravitational pull is at it's greatest. This creates a Spring tide. A Spring tide results in a high, high tide and low, low tide. This creates a high tidal range (difference between the highest and lowest tide) and results in stronger tidal currents than normal. Spring tides usually occur twice a month when there is a full moon.
When the sun and moon are at a right angle to the earth we experience Neap tides. The gravitational pull of the sun partially cancels the moon's. This results in a low, high tide and a high, low tide. This creates a low tidal range and results in weaker tidal currents than normal.

Donald Trump Wants to End Muslim Immigration
It's only temporary, he says, although he doesn't give an end-date to the moratorium.
This is the same guy who's stoked fear and hatred of Muslims by saying he witnessed thousands of Arabs celebrating in the streets on 9/11… the same guy who condoned the beating and kicking of protesters at his rallies, who described most undocumented immigrants from Mexico as murderers and rapists, and who promises to literally build a wall around the United States.

Tamir Rice's killer cop not indicted
A grand jury declined to indict the police officer who killed 12-year-old Tamir Rice on a playground in Cleveland just a split second after exiting his police car. The prosecutor, Timothy McGinty, held a press conference where he sounded more like a defense attorney than a prosecutor. He said it would be unjust to indict the "reasonable" officer, that the video evidence was "indisputable" (it's not), and that he had personally recommended to the grand jury that they not indict. While he was at it, he blamed Tamir Rice for his own death; reminding us that he was tall for his age, that he'd been warned carrying a toy gun would get him into trouble, and that his attempt to hand his toy over to the very reasonable cops appeared aggressive. So the cops were reasonable to shoot him dead.

Donald Trump's Red Hat Mob Attacks
Brownshirts… Blackshirts… Red Hats.
A few weeks after Donald Trump says he'd like to punch a protester in the mouth, a Donald Trump fan punches a man in the face at a Trump rally. It's not the first time someone's been assaulted by a member of Trump's mob, and it probably won't be the last. Welcome to Donald Trump's America.
NAZIS, KKK and White Supremacists Attack Charlottesville
Nazis, White Supremacists and the KKK marched in Charlottesville over the weekend, attacking and beating counter-protesters and murdering one of them with a car. Many of these terrorists were wearing Donald Trump "MAGA" hats and chanting Trump slogans. David Duke, present at the rally, warned Donald Trump that he'd better remember it was they who got him elected. Hours later, when the President finally spoke about Charlottesville, he refused to condemn the white supremacists by name, instead saying there was hate and violence "from all sides."

I have had the honor of knowing Caroline for a few years thanks to her two sisters and their two weddings. It's been a while since I've felt like a big brother but I won't lie, I knew the guy that captured her heart had better be good…then I met Collin, saw how incredible these two were together and I felt much better.
To say that their wedding was incredible would be like saying that the sunset that blessed their day was "nice". Don't take it from me, though, check out the wedding of Caroline and Collin and see for yourself!

When working on a picture it's easy for things to look "right" after a time, even when there's a drawing error. Here's a list of several ways I use to check my work, looking for drawing errors, or weak design.
Shrink it
I shrink my work to check if the design reads well, if there's unity with the values, if the silhouette is clear, if the details I want to show are visible. Here are the ways I do this:
- Reducing Lens - pretty handy. It looks like a magnifying lens but the lens in slightly concave. Unfortunately I don't know if they're made anymore.
- Binoculars in reverse - look through the opposite end of a pair of binoculars.
- Camera phone - these days I think the camera phone is probably more available to most people that the previous 2 options. Take a picture of the work and review it on the phone even smaller.
- Step away or decrease the magnification - when working on a computer it's easy to get caught in the chair, zooming in on a project. Scoot the chair back or stand up. Or reduce the magnification so the image is about as big as your thumb.
Reverse it
I'm so used to looking at a drawing or painting in one orientation that reversing or flipping the way I look at it oftentimes reveals some distortions or drawing errors.
- Hold it up in front of a mirror.
- Hold a mirror up at your brow, position the mirror so you see the art by looking up into the mirror.
- Put the drawing upside-down on the floor, easel, or table.
New Environment
Take the picture outside, into a different room, or just turn out the lights. Viewing it in a different lighting situation oftentimes reveals strengths and weaknesses in the value structure or size relationships in a piece.
Squinting helps group values to see if they hold together as a whole design. Values or shapes that are out of place can also become a little more noticeable.
Standard Measurements
It's great to have photo reference and photos lie. By knowing some guidelines for standard measurements of human anatomy, the lies can be countered. Andrew Loomis' book "Figure Drawing for All It's Worth" is a great resource for this. If you can get if from your local bookstore, all the better.
Second Pair of Eyes
Sometimes I just can't see the errors anymore. It just looks "right". Having someone else look at the picture helps a lot. This could be a peer review group, or a trusted friend or family member. It seems like most people can at the very least say that something seems off even if they can't specifically name it.
If anyone has other ways they use to check their work I'd love to hear about them!

The Bachelorette Australia star Sam Frost seems to have given away The Bachelor 2016 Australia winner.
In her 2DayFM breakfast radio show, Frost said The Bachelor Australia 2016 star Richie Strahan will choose a blonde bombshell this season and its going to be Western Australian bombshell Megan Marx. She has pointed out some patterns which, according to her, suggest who will receive the final rose.
One of the patterns Frost mentioned was the promo clip of the reality TV show. Frost said every contestant that ends up as winner has their own promo before the season starts. She cited herself, Snezana Markoski, and boyfriend Sasha Mielczarek having their promo clips in their respective season and they won in the end.
Frost added The Bachelor producers' choice of music for Megan's teaser, which is soft and romantic, was also intended to make the audience love her. Another give-away is the positive tone Network Ten used in describing Megan at the network's website. The 27-year-old has been portrayed as "endearing, street-smart, adventurous and loves being outdoors."
Is Megan the perfect girl for Richie? Here's a sneak peek at the moment they meet. #TheBachelorAU https://t.co/nJDqNBUeqR

The former Bachelorette star however stressed that Strahan remains mum even to his friends on whom he chose in the finale.
Strahan earlier revealed that he already found the one in the Network Ten show and he is really happy with his choice. He said that the woman he chose was an incredible woman.
The 31-year-old rope technician earlier hinted that his reality TV romance was love at first sight. "I definitely felt something on the first night. When you're in front of the right person, you can just feel it," he told WHO magazine.
Twenty-two women will be vying for Strahan's heart starting on Wednesday (July 27) when The Bachelor 2016 Australia kicks off at 7:30pm on TEN.

THERE are more questions than answers ahead of Ricky Burns' fifth defence of his WBO lightweight crown against undefeated American Terence Crawford at the Scottish Exhibition Centre this evening.
Successive undistinguished performances against Jose Gonzalez and Raymundo Beltran have raised doubts about Burns' ability to remain champion by ending Crawford's perfect record in the Omaha boxer's 23rd contest.
Puerto Rican Gonzalez had the title in his grasp when he inexplicably retired on his stool at the end of the ninth round at the Emirates Arena ten months ago, citing a damaged wrist as his reason for quitting when three rounds in front.
Having enjoyed a stroke of luck against Gonzalez, Burns was even more fortunate when he faced Beltran last September.
There appeared little doubt in the minds of most observers that the Mexican had prevailed, given that he had broken Burns' right jaw in the second round before also putting the Coatbridge boxer down later in the contest.
Yet the ringside judges somehow managed to score the contest a draw, to the surprise – and delight – of even Burns' promoter, Eddie Hearn.
Beltran screamed "foul" with complete justification and the WBO was left to try and defend a decision that was largely indefensible.
But at least one man is happy to defend Burns' recent displays, his trainer Billy Nelson, who is adamant that the champion is undeserving of criticism.
"The first one we trained for three fights and that was over-training, pure and simple," said Nelson. "To be fair, Gonzalez was an exceptional fighter, but my argument for Ricky is that he stopped the guy.
"Ricky took his best shots up to and including the seventh round, when he soaked up punishment himself, and he came back to dominate eight and nine and the guy quit.
"That's better in my eyes than a knock-out because you have mentally broken somebody.
"He would have beaten Beltran to a pulp, because he was outclassing him in the first two rounds, hitting him with everything, and then he got that injury. It's like playing football with one leg, you just can't do it, and no boxer or trainer can foresee an injury like that happening and have a game plan to counter it.
"A broken jaw from a boxer's perspective is the worst injury. You can box on with a broken hand, but you shouldn't box on with a broken jaw. But the Beltran fight proved Ricky has b***s and if you've not got them at this level you will be found out.
"Saturday night could be a game of chess or a war and I am 100 per cent confident that if it's the latter, Ricky will still be standing at the end throwing leather. Ricky has got it in him that he doesn't want to get beat under any circumstances. He learned from his defeats and learned really well.
"The difference between Ricky and other fighters is he can put his hands up and admit to his mistakes, like in the Gonzalez fight, when he didn't box to the game plan.
"At the beginning of the camp we sat down and discussed exactly what it would take to beat Crawford and we said whatever we had to do on fight night we would implement in sparring and I can assure you his sparring has been fantastic."
Nelson believes that Burns is just 12 rounds away from becoming jointly the most successful Scottish fighter of all time. He will equal former WBO featherweight champion Scott Harrison's tally of nine world title wins if he succeeds in ending Crawford's perfect record.
And Nelson, who was in Harrison's corner for every one of his 11 championship bouts, claims that Burns is already a cut above.
Nelson said on the eve of this evening's 10,000 sell-out at the SECC in Glasgow: "Ricky has surpassed Scott already, a few fights ago, in terms of the quality of the opposition he has faced, I would suggest.
"I am talking about Michael Katsidis and Paulus Moses, ex-world champions, Kevin Mitchell and Rocky Martinez, who was the super-featherweight champion and No 1 with Ring Magazine when he fought Ricky.
"That's not being disrespectful to Scott, who was a great fighter. But, for me, there is only one person above Ricky, Ken Buchanan."
Burns scaled nine stone, eight pounds, four ounces at yesterday's weigh-in, where there was the customary exchange of growls and muttered comments between the fighters in addition to cheeky grins, the thumbs-up and various other gestures of defiance, while Crawford was two ounces heavier.

How Do You Like Them Apples?
Apples got a bad rap when Eve tempted Adam. But fortunately for us now, we don't have to suffer God's wrath when we want the tasty treat. And since it is fall, all roads lead to apples. The great thing … Continue reading

I inherited my Mother's wedding ring when she passed away a few years ago and been thinking about if the marriage doesn't last or the wedding never happens but she's wearing that ring.Who does it go to? The reason I ask this is a friend of mine didn't get married because he broke up with her and she's keeping the ring, regardless. Is it for the couple to decide? What are your thoughts?
Most Helpful Girl
I think it is something you need to talk about with your fiancee. Personally, if my fiancee and I were to ever break up I would be sure to give it back to him. I would even have it in a prenup or some other document because I know some women who wouldn't care and would keep the ring. It's an heirloom and without a legal document she would not be obligated to give it back.00|00|0

I've tried pof.com and okcupid.com. At okcupid.com I actually put up my pic but have sent people that have asked pics on pof.
Anyways, guys I like don't message me back or pay attention and I'm only getting attention from guys I feel nothing for sexually and I'm not online there to make penpals.
I am 22 almost 23, done college and never even had my first kiss (although nobody I know knows that). I'm a decent looking girl, I workout (trying to loose weight) but I'm only 20-25 lbs overweight and I'm 5 feet 6 and carry my weight well anyways. 36D bust, and curvy butt but not kim k huge or anything.
I dress well, put on nice makeup and actually made an effort in school to know guys but I just got friends/acquaintances and no one ever made a move! Or the two guys that did I really didn't feel ANYTHING for.
This online thing now is giving me a headache, because now I'm on two different sites. I don't know what the hell to do.
My friend is on her 3rd relationship from guys she met online and she would go on these websites a month or less later be in a relationship.
Should I just accept the fact I'll never be with anyone or force myself to be with a guy that I know I'll never adore, love and just do anything for.
I cry a lot about this and its just makes me depressed :(
Most Helpful Guy
Why is this Kim K. woman the standard for booty? Enough, let's examine your problem.
First, what is your friend doing that you are not? Assess this.
Next, what are you looking for, and then what are the people you are looking at looking for?
After this what does your profile say? Is it written to optimize interest or not? Rather than "is it honest" ask yourself if anyone would hire you based on it that profile. All profiles should be written this way for results.
This is tough. But solveable.00|00|0

Daffodil, daffodil
Yellow trumpet tall and still,
The daffodil tells me it's Spring,
Jump in the air, and dance, and sing.
– Daffodil Song
Growing up in Raincouver you get used to there rain, in fact there are days I miss it if it has not rained in awhile. I love hearing it tap on the window, and see it splashing into the puddles that have formed on the ground. We recently got to take some photos at a daffodil farm. I still cannot thank Codi (Creative Wife & Joyful Worker) enough for making this opportunity happen and welcoming us in the group that got to check out the daffodils at her in-laws farm. It was the perfect combination of light rainfall, and bright yellow spring flowers. Some of the photos that came out of this visit are forever favourites of mine that I plan to print and put up around our home.
Thanks to the rain the girls cute matching outfits couldn't be shown off in the photos but that is okay. Things do not always go as planned. Addie ended up being bundled up in The Cece wrap from Beluga Baby, that is the perfect matching daffodil yellow. I had a bit of a mom fail moment and forget Evie's rain coat… oops! She was still happy to wander around thanks to our blue umbrella. It was a little muddy, but that's what boots are for.
The daffodil is one of my favourite Spring time flowers. It reminds me of my childhood and seeing them pop up in our yard this time of year. They apparently symbolize rebirth, and new beginnings. I'd always see these flowers at Easter time, and at church. They are said to represent eternal life because they are perennial flower. Appearing again year, after year.
This will be a day that I always remember, who knows if we will ever have an opportunity to wander a field full of beautiful, bright yellow daffodils. Spring is here, and boy were we ready for it!

The overall vibe of Vieques is pretty casual, but Christian and I like to get a little dressed up at least one night every place we travel and go to a nice dinner. We ventured off the property to a cozy little restaurant called the Next Course. The staff was super friendly and we loved the laid back atmosphere. As for the food, I ordered the bone in ribeye which Christian bet me $100 that I would not be able to finish. He should have known better than to make a bet with a Texas girl about a steak. I will admit it was a daunting task that I probably would not have finished otherwise, but my pride was at stake (pun intended) so I powered through. Needless to say I won the hundred bucks and a stomach ache…come to find out that particular piece of meat was over 20 oz! Good think I had a little stretch to my Lilly dress haha.
Just because Christmas is over, doesn't mean the sales have to be! Lilly Pulitzer is having their annual After Party Sale, and y'all it is good! Not only is the dress from today's post included (it also comes in navy btw), but so are several of my other favorite pieces like this dress and this romper. The sale only lasts from January 5th at 8am – January 6th at 1pm so get moving!

Medical pot group sues Obama administration over California crackdown
October 26, 2011
Michael Martinez, CNN
A medical marijuana advocacy group sued the Obama administration Thursday, saying its policy "to subvert local and state medical marijuana laws in California" is unconstitutional.
Americans for Safe Access accused the U.S. Justice Department of deploying aggressive SWAT-style raids, prosecuting medical marijuana patients and providers, and threatening local officials for implement state medical pot laws.
The group, a nonprofit based in Oakland, California, that says it's the country's largest medical marijuana advocacy organization, cited U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and U.S. Attorney Melinda Haag of the northern district of California in its federal lawsuit filed in San Francisco.
"Under the Tenth Amendment, the government may not commandeer the law-making function of the state or its subdivisions or indirectly through the selective enforcement of its drug laws," the lawsuit said. "It is this misuse of the government's commerce clause powers, designed to deprive the state of its sovereign ability to chart a separate course, that forms the basis of the plaintiff's claim."
Earlier this month, federal prosecutors in California announced a series of actions targeting what they characterized as the "large, for-profit marijuana industry" that has developed since the state legalized medical marijuana for select patients 15 years ago.
Four U.S. attorneys -- Benjamin Wagner, Andre Birotte Jr., Laura Duffy and Melinda Haag -- detailed in a joint press release and later a press conference in Sacramento some steps that have been taken in conjunction with federal law enforcement and local officials in California.
They include letters of warning to landlords and lien holders of places in which marijuana is being sold illegally, "civil forfeiture lawsuits against properties involved in drug trafficking activity" and numerous criminal cases. The latter refers to arrests in recent weeks related to cases filed in federal courts in Los Angeles, San Diego, Sacramento and Fresno, all part of an effort that Wagner claimed has resulted in the seizure of hundreds of pounds of marijuana, tens of thousands of plants and hundreds of thousands in cash.
Thursday's lawsuit seeks declaratory and injunctive relief and was filed on behalf of its 20,000 members in California, the medical marijuana advocacy group said.

My favorite two sentences in the Bible are Romans 11:36:
For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.
Here's how I trace the argument in Romans 11:33–36:
(I wrote a PhD dissertation on that passage, focusing on the previous two sentences—published in 2012.)
I asked Joe Tyrpak, one of my accountability partners, if he would design Romans 11:36 for canvas so that I could display it over the fireplace in our home and over my desk in my school office. Most people think of Joe as a faithful pastor and gifted preacher (and he is), but he also has an undergraduate degree in graphic design. Here's what he designed for me:
The design with a blue background places the text over a picture of the Gulf of Mexico. Joe took that picture in October 2011 (when the Naselli and Tyrpak couples were on vacation together).
My family displays the canvas with a white background (40″ x 32″) above our fireplace:
I display the canvas with the blue background (36″ x 24″) over my desk at my school office:
I asked Joe how others could purchase a framed canvas. Here's the info:
- $197 (plus shipping) for a 30″ x 20″ canvas
- Email Joe to place the order (processed using PayPal) or to ask about pricing for a larger canvas.
- He can print either of the two variations: (1) black text with a white background or (2) white text with the blue Gulf of Mexico background.
- Jackie Swanson, a local artisan whom Joe says does quality work, would print the canvas, build the frame, wrap the canvas around the frame, and pack and ship the final piece of art.

Open SPV/SPE Company in Malaysia
Updated on Tuesday 11th October 2016
Rate this article 3 reviewsbased on
A SPV/SPE company refers to a special purpose vehicle/entity, which is registered as a subsidiary with a legal status which allows it to secure its asset structure in such a manner in which the respective entity will not be affected in the situation in which the parent company enters into bankruptcy. In Malaysia, investors can set up a SPV/SPE company, following a set of regulations in this sense. Foreign investors are advised to receive assistance from local specialists and our team of company incorporation representatives in Malaysia can provide an in-depth presentation on this matter, as well as on the registration procedures.
Legislation referring to a SPV/SPE company in Malaysia
In order to open a company in Malaysia registered as a SPV/SPE, investors have to follow the rules prescribed by the Securities Commission Act 1993. The legislation stipulates that, if a person issues structured products or offers them for subscription or purchase, he or she has to register for approval from the Securities Commission of Malaysia.
The legislation also states that amongst several other types of entities, the SPV/SPE incorporated in Malaysia is considered an eligible issuer, provided that the respective entity is sponsored by a qualified bank.
They can also be sponsored by a qualified dealer or by the Cagamas Berhad, the National Mortgage Corporation. Our team of company formation consultants in Malaysia can offer more details on the requirements referring to the eligibility of the SPV/SPE.
The purpose of a SPV/SPE company in Malaysia
A SPV/SPE company is incorporated to develop a specific investment project (an infrastructure facility) in a period of a few years. In order to do so, the company will require a license, issued for the respective number of years. At the end of the project, the facility will enter into the possession of the Malaysian state.
The licenses issued in Malaysia for SPV/SPE companies are valid for a period that can vary between 12 to 99 years. It is important to know that the local legislation stipulates that the Malaysian government can retain a part of the company's equity through a Malaysian company, part of the SPV/SPE.
The SPV/SPE can also be incorporated in the region of Labuan, known for its tax-friendly framework.
Businessmen interested in the registration procedure of a SPV/SPE company are invited to address to our team of company formation agents in Malaysia.

Stalking the WB – For the Third Time!Jan 22nd, 2010 | By Lindsay | Category: This and That
As I've mentioned a few times before, this past October, my good friends from Switzerland came to visit my family for a few weeks. While they were here, I decided to take them on a Hollywood studio tour. The only problem was I couldn't decide exactly which Hollywood studio tour to take them on. So, I got Mike, from MovieShotsLA, on the phone and the two of us had a very in-depth discussion about it, carefully weighing all of our options. Not kidding – you should have heard the two of us. 🙂 Anyway, we quickly narrowed down our choices to either the Paramount Studio Tour or the Warner Brothers VIP Studio Tour. And even though I was leaning towards Paramount, Mike convinced me that because the WB Tour covers the overall studio experience, it would be the best choice for those stalkers who had yet to visit a movie studio. Paramount is geared more towards us die-hard stalkers, in my opinion, which is probably why I like it the best. 🙂 So, with our tour location finally decided upon, the four of us headed out bright and early the following morning to stalk the WB. This was actually my third time stalking the lot and it really is true what they say – no two tours are alike. I already want to go back for a fourth time. 🙂 Sadly, though, our tour guide left quite a bit to be desired on this particular venture. We still had a blast while there, don't get me wrong – it's pretty hard not to have fun on the WB lot – but, for whatever reason, our guide was a grump pretty much the whole way through. She also seemed to have a pretty high opinion of herself, which didn't help my opinion of her. 😉
She even got a bit testy with me at one point, after bringing us to the Central Park portion of the lot and asking if anyone knew what television show it had been featured in. I, of course, raised my hand and said "It's where Phoebe runs weird on Friends!" to which she snapped, "Well, you must have been on the tour before, which is the only reason you'd know that!" I wanted to explain that I had actually known the answer to that question while on my first WB tour, but I was afraid she'd pretty much bite my head off if I did! So, since it was obvious she didn't appreciate stalkers, I kept my mouth shut for the remainder of the tour. The other disappointing aspect of the day was that Hennesy Street, which is one of the WB's New York areas, Midwest Street, aka Anytown USA, and the Jungle area were all closed off to tour groups due to filming. 🙁 The Witches of Eastwick was actually the production being filmed on Midwest Street and we were very briefly allowed to venture over to the outskirts of that area to take a peek at what was going on, but unfortunately no photographs were allowed. Anyway, aside from Debbie Downer and the fact that numerous areas of lot were closed off, we had a great time on the tour. 🙂
The tour began the way it always does, with our guide driving us via golf cart through the very same studio gate that Carrie Bradshaw drove through in the Season Three episode of Sex and the City entitled "Escape from New York". LOVE IT! 🙂
Our first stop was the old ER hospital set which has all but been dismantled. 🙁 So sad! While the hospital entrance and L Train track will be left up to be used by future productions . . .
. . . the area behind the large brown double doors which used to contain the ambulance bay and waiting room set, is now just empty space, as you can sort of see in the above photograph.
The way it used to look is pictured above. You can see more photographs of the old ER set on my two previous WB Tour posts which can be viewed here and here. According to our tour guide, ER's Jumbo Mart Diner set is going to be left intact to serve as the studio's tribute to the longest running medical drama ever to air on television.
Our next stop was the Nate's Bar & Grill set from ER, which is also being left intact to be used by future productions. Nate's Bar & Grill is what's called a "practical set" in studio terminology because both its interior and its exterior can be used for filming.
Unlike the facade pictured above which has no interior area.
As you can see in the above photograph, Nate's Bar & Grill lacks a ceiling, which is actually typical of movie sets. The ceilings of sets are always left open so that lights and other production equipment can be hung above the area being filmed. That's often how I can tell if something was filmed in a studio or on location somewhere – if a ceiling is shown onscreen, that's pretty much a dead giveaway that the production was filmed at a real life location. 😉
Located just outside of Nate's is a very realistic looking subway set, which was extremely cool to see being that we had just returned from our New York trip a few days beforehand. 🙂
Our next stop was the the Embassy Courtyard, an area which was used in the 1999 made-for-TV movie Annie, in the television series Without a Trace, Hotel, and, as you can see in the above screen captures, Chuck .
We also visited New York Street, which is not to be confused with Hennesy Street, the lot's other Manhattan-like area. New York Street has been used in the movies The Big Sleep, Blade Runner, Yankee Doodle Dandy, and The Last Samurai, for which the entire area was dressed to look like 1870s Japan.
Located on New York Street is the movie theatre facade pictured above, which was featured in the "New York and Queens" episode of The Drew Carey Show in which Drew and the gang challenge Mimi and her friends to a Rocky Horror Picture Show/Priscilla Queen of the Desert dance-off.
That very same area was also featured in the Season One episode of The Mentalist entitled "A Dozen Red Roses".
We also briefly visited the Warner Village area of the lot, where we saw "New Christine's" apartment building from the series The New Adventures of Old Christine.
Our next stop was the soundstage used in the filming of the television show Chuck, a series which I have never before seen. But I was extremely excited to see the set nonetheless because it was modeled after the very same apartment building featured in the movie 'Til There Was You – an apartment building which I have not only stalked, but also blogged about. 🙂 I cannot tell you how cool it was to be seeing that set in person, as it looks very much the same as its real life counterpart. Love it! And while our tour guide did let us know that the Chuck set was based on a real life apartment building, she mistakenly told our group that said building was located in Los Feliz, which is actually incorrect. The building, which is named El Cabrillo, is actually located in Hollywood. I didn't dare correct her, though, since she had already made it pretty clear that she didn't care to hear any information I had to share. 😉 We also got to venture inside the characters' individual apartments, which really are located directly off the building's courtyard area. Unfortunately no photographs were allowed inside of the Chuck soundstages, but you can see what the set looks like in the above screen captures. When I asked our tour guide why the area was off-limits to cameras she said it was to prevent spoilers, i.e. if a crewmember accidentally left something on set that gave away a future plot point and then a tour group came in and took pictures of the set and then those pictures somehow wound up on the internet ;), fans might figure out the future plot development and stop watching the show. Which I think is pretty silly reasoning, but c'est la vie.
No WB VIP Tour would be complete without a visit to the car museum, where we got to see several vehicles from The Dark Knight, including the Batmobile;
the Bat-Pod motorcycle;
and the Stealth Launch Batmobile; all of which my best friend, Robin, the only guy in the group, loved seeing. 🙂
Also on display was the Ducati 996 motorcycle from The Matrix Reloaded;
the "Shaguar" from Austin Powers in Goldmember;
Clint Eastwood's Gran Torino from the movie of the same name;
the Nerd Herd car from Chuck;
the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard;
several vehicles from AI, including the Hovercopter;
the Ford Angila from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets;
and a 1969 Lincoln Continental from The Matrix, along with a wax figure of "Agent Smith".
The best part of the tour for me, though, had to be when we got to see the Central Perk set from Friends. Granted, I've seen the set twice before on the two other WB Tours I've attended, but this time we were actually allowed to venture ONTO the set, walk around, touch things, and even sit on the furniture! YAY! Let me tell you, I just about DIED I was so excited! (Those are my friends Doina and Stephanie sitting on the Friends couch with me in the above photograph.)
And I just HAD to take pictures of absolutely EVERYTHING!
Well, I've said it before and I'll say it again – I HIGHLY recommend taking the WB VIP Studio Tour! Even with a craptastic tour guide, it's still a fabulous adventure to have in L.A.
Until next time, Happy Stalking! 🙂

Chef (2014)
Cast includes: Jon Favreau (The Wolf of Wall Street), John Leguizamo (The Lincoln Lawyer), Bobby Cannavale (Win Win), Emjay Anthony (It's Complicated), Scarlett Johansson (Lost in Translation), Sofía Vergara (Fading Gigolo), Oliver Platt (Frost/Nixon), Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man), Jose C. Hernandez
Writer/Director: Jon Favreau (Iron Man, Made)
Genre: Comedy | Food | Travel
As the quirky beat of "Brother John Is Gone" by the Wild Magnolias heats up, so does the crushing, slicing and dicing in Chef Carl Casper's kitchen. "Chef Dig-Dog, up all night cooking!" Food critic Ramsey Michel is coming tonight and Chef Casper's pulling out the stops. That's why he's late picking up his son Percy from school. "I'm used to it," says Percy. Ouch! On a whirlwind dash through the green market, Carl and Percy exchange their usual father-son dialog. Kettle corn? No way. Do you know what's in that stuff? "Mom's worried about you… wants you to think about the food truck idea." No way. On the topic of authentic food… Carl promises to take Percy to New Orleans sometime to experience the food… "whole different world" from Venice California. Finally, the two of them are munching on kettle corn as they head back to the car.
Back at the restaurant, owner Revi wants a word with Chef Casper. "I don't need guidance. I need space," Chef tells Revi. "If you had tickets to a Stone's concert and they didn't play 'Satisfaction,' how would you feel? (Maybe he has a point.) Go with the favorites." Chef does and it's a disaster. The review is bad enough, but… "Fuck Twitter." "Why should I fuck Twitter?" says Carl. OMG… Carl doesn't know about Twitter! Martin and Tony don't want to explain about reviews going viral on Twitter. But that's the advantage of having a 12-year-old son… Percy can explain all about Twitter and even help Carl set up his own Twitter account. The only problem is that Carl missed the part about tweets being public. So when Carl replies to Ramsey saying, "You wouldn't know a good meal if it sat on your face," he gets 1,653 followers by the next morning. One thing leads to another, and Chef Casper finds it's awfully hot in the kitchen… "Go be an artist on your own time!" says Revi.
Chef will probably be the most delightful feel-good movie of the 2014 summer season. It's quirky and delicious with a sensational soundtrack and a whole basket full of crazy, charming characters. Jon Favreau is both the main character and the writer/director, so perhaps that explains why the movie feels so fresh and organic. When Chef's career takes a flying leap off a cliff, he reluctantly agrees to come with his ex-wife and Percy to Miami… and then agrees to consider that crazy food truck idea with her other ex-husband Marvin. (You have to be prepared to go along with some of the crazy plot twists.) Before long, the food truck becomes the vehicle for a gastronomic tour of the southern US… as Chef Casper, Marvin and Percy cook and sample their way back to California. I've already mentioned the soundtrack, but it's worth mentioning again… nothing goes better with ethnic foods than ethnic music. Chef Casper and son Percy are the main ingredients in this delicious mélange, but the supporting cast adds a lot of laughs and great flavor. Pass the kettle corn… no, better make that beignets from the French Quarter.

On this week's episode of Arrow, we learned that it's dangerous to be a brunette with a bob in Star City, there's a reason energy drinks are being banned at Palmer Tech and that I really, really, really miss Constantine. Let's take a closer look at 'Haunted,' shall we?
After her escape last week, Sara is running amok through the city, killing criminals and thugs. Problem is, she also has a tendency to attack young women who look remarkably like Thea. Of course, this is because she's trying to avenge her death and since Thea was the one to kill her, it only makes sense that Thea's death would be the thing she wants most. Even though Thea is willing to sacrifice herself, because she understands the bloodlust, the rest of Team Arrow doesn't see that as a viable option. After a couple of misses, they finally manage to capture Sara after setting a trap at the remains of Verdant. This is where Ollie calls in the big guns. That's right, ladies and gentlemen. John Constantine is part of this universe.
We find out, in the contrived and rather useless flashback sequence, that Oliver actually met the occult detective during his second stint on Lian Yu. John was there to acquire some mystical object and had been captured by the military operation there. For some inexplicable reason, the guy in charge let's Oliver be John's tour guide, even though Conklin has more than enough evidence to prove that Oliver isn't who or what he says he is. Anyway, John and Oliver find the mystical object and do a little bonding, culminating in John lifting an Asian character tattoo off of his forearm and placing it on Oliver's abdomen. Oliver is left with the cryptic message that he'll need it for later.
Constantine arrives in Star City to perform a restitutionism, which is the opposite of an exorcism, in order to return Sara's soul. He performs the ritual, taking Laurel and Oliver with him to the other side. In a very quick and to the point sequence, they battle milky-eyed League soldiers and rescue Sara from the Lazarus Pit she's being held in. Boom! All is right with the world, again. As Constantine leaves, he warns Oliver that Damien Darhk is dangerous, and that it would be best if Oliver left town and didn't look back. We all know that's not going to happen.
In the side story arcs this week, Diggle joined up with Captain Lance to help take down Darhk and HIVE. During a mission to erase data at a nearby base, Diggle is surprised to see his brother's name on the list. He's too late though, and the information is deleted. Lance confronts Darhk about it, and learns that Diggle's brother was actually a drug lord in Afghanistan. He takes the file to Diggle who is disappointed, but also grateful because he now has closure. Back at Palmer Tech, Felicity learns that Ray is in fact alive and is in trouble.
So, overall, I thought that this was a pretty decent episode. It moved away from the villain of the week arc that seems to have permeated the rest of the season, which was good. We got a little more understanding of Sara and her motivations, as well as a head first dive into the magic and mysticism surrounding this world. So much for the real and grounded approach of the first two seasons! Of course, we all knew it was coming as soon as Ra's was included in season 3.
The addition of Damien Darhk this season (as well as the idea of meta-humans and the multiverse on The Flash) has just cemented the idea that realism is now out the window. And I really thought that Matt Ryan's appearance was way to short and sweet. It felt a bit rushed, but honestly, I was just happy to see the character live on as part of this universe. Anytime John Constantine wants to make an appearance, contrived or not, it absolutely should happen. I think there's also part of me that is hoping, if his appearance is successful enough, The CW might decided to resurrect the show. A girl can dream, can't she?
Did I mention that I miss Constantine?
I am looking forward to next week's episode, not only because I like Ray Palmer and will take any excuse to see Brandon Routh on my screen, but because he is basically the last piece in this Legends Of Tomorrow puzzle. Once ATOM is found and re-established, Arrow and The Flash can go back to telling their own stories. I get that having a television universe is going to lead to cross-over, but I have to admit I'm kind of done with the LoT setup. I will be happy when it's done and they are able to move on. I think it would be different if we didn't know that it was leading up to something and that each of the reveals wasn't something we already knew was going to happen. A little more organically, please, and then it might not be so frustrating.
Arrow airs on Wednesday nights on The CW.

Discussion in 'Racquets' started by Bubbagumptennis, Jan 14, 2013.
yes, thats fine
Whats the string spacing like on the 16 mains version? I was wondering the differences between the 2 if anyone went all in and bought both versions.
I took my 315 for a quick test drive this afternoon for about 1/2 hr. I am a current PT280 player, 1hbh, SW forehand, Solid 4.0 USTA player. I strung it up to with MSV 17L Black at 51 lbs. I was able to compare the 315 against my PT280 (same string & tension).
My overall impression is that the stick is steady and gets a ton of spin, but definitely lacks the plow due to the static weight. I felt that the stringbed is a little dead when I hit off the sweetspot, particularly towards the top of the racquet off both wings. I think MSV may not be the best fit for this racquet but that is TBD.
When compared against the PT280 there is a noticeable difference on plush, which I would say advantage PT. On control I give it to the TF315 as I was able to turn the ball with very little effort. I felt the racquet flex is definitely in line with the PT280, and with lead tape there's definitely potential to replicate that classic feel.
It sounds safe to say that, if you like the PT630/280 but find it a touch too heavy, that the 315 would be a good choice to start with and mod. to your ideal weight & balance. I may have to try one and just deal with the pallet shape until I can track down a tk82s.
hmm, sounds pro stocky to me
Well dudes I am in. Dri, VSBab, Gads, Aimr..too many esteemed racquet kings say good things for me to resist this. Especially since I started playing tennis again and my first stick was the old 320 and then the newer v02 max.
Memories of bigtime open string patterns flashed before me with those sticks, so I went with the 18 mains. I prefer tight patterns.
It sounds like the SW is not really 301 from what everyone is saying. Maybe more like 315 or so. At least that is what I am hoping, as I don't lead up as much as some of you guys and I want a decent SW.
you must resist the enchanting calls of the sirens! you must be strong! do not succumb! do not succumb, i say! :lol:
Yep, but then GAVNA chimed in and all was lost
You will not be disappointed
I know I won't . Love the classic feel. So tough to track down especially in a larger head size and fairly low weight. Cranking up the SW may prove to be a challenge, but we shall see - I may just do 6 grams at 12 to start.
Sounds like it is very stable so lead at 3 and 9 hopefully won't be needed.
Can't wait to compare it to my leaded up Pure Storm Team, which is a rather awesome stick as well.
Any love for the TFight 295?
The 295 is just a lighter 320, just like the 305 is a lighter 325.
Finally another outing with the 315 18 mains tonight. Again, it did not disappoint. However, it's small deficiencies were felt. On a couple of hard hit passing shots by my opposition I reached the 315 out and it buckled. I think a some lead in the hoop will fix that. I started trying to go for my flat 1st serve and got a few in. It still didn't seemingly pack the same punch as the Pro 1 in this aspect. Again the control and feel are the best I've experienced since my return to tennis 5 years ago. I hit some LAZERS on return of serves! This racquet is the real deal. I just hope it doesn't lead me down the path to wanting to try some pro stock frames and have to shell out that kind of cash!! Went to the TW site to order a 2nd 315 18 and saw the 4 3/8's are already on back order. the run on these has begun!!
Hi PP,
Racquets kings like you make me really curious on the TF315. A few years ago I used the TF335 16x20 like you did for a while as well.
Please let me know your experiences with the TF315 and tell me how it compares with the TF335.
It is only too bad I am not able to demo the TF315 because it isn't still available in Europe.
is it possible to ship the order from TW USA?
That would be pretty expensive to me because they often charge douane charges with parcels from the USA.
Have you leaded yours up yet or are these the stock impressions?
Yes definitely. It has been a while since I have used the 335, bu I will do my best to compare them.
Anyone know when it is being released in EU?
Tecnifibre France told me JUNE.
And TF told TW -- NEVER...
Has anyone leaded one of these sticks up yet? Interested in hearing the results. I think I may stop at lunch and pickup some 1/4" lead tape, add a little at 10 and 2 and see how it plays.
I think you almost have to lead them up. I will be adding lead from 10-2 to get the SW a little higher. Hopefully there is no twisting, but it sounds like a stable frame. So as long that is the case, Im just going to go with lead at the tip.
Stock impressions. I try to play a frame stock for a couple outings to determine where any weight would/should be placed for my liking. 10 & 2 are my normal starting places. Although for this frame 12 o'clock may need some as well. Playing tomorrow so I will try 3 grams at 10 & 2 (6 total). May add 3 @ 12 & 8-10 in the handle depending on how the initial test works out. Got a 2nd I'm going to leave stock for comparison purposes.
Nice..you are saving me some time then as I do the same .
if i normally use a 4 1/2 grip, what grip size do i order if i want to change the pallet?
6 grams at 10 and 2 is what I am going to try tonight.
Cool..let us know how that balances. I am guessing (hoping) around 4 points HL.
Wow these specs look really amazing! Can anyone compare the 18/20 version to the pure storm tour gt? I really like it, but I feel that it is sometimes a bit numb, and lacks accuracy when hitting out (the type of accuracy that head pro stock frames have).
How would spin/heft compare between these? Also would love something a little more flexible.
How close is the 18x20 to the James Blake frame?
His mold is the dunlop 300T, which was originally a Major racquet based on the Head PT630..is this correct?
Just wondering if there is a similarity there. I'll have mine tomorrow.
Will be good to know what you think of the frame
3 and 9. That's where this thing (16m) responded to lead for me tonight. Big time. Had initially started with lead at 12 to up the swingweight, didn't do a whole lot for me except slow the stick down. When I transferred most of the lead to 3/9, started to sing.
Still work to be done to get it just right, but I'm closer now.
The feel of this sweet spot is just delicious.
How much lead did you transfer to 3 and 9? I could be down with this.
I got mine in. Will get base SW measured this afternoon. Balance looks on point. I do not think this is a 98 headsize. I think it is a little smaller.Gorgeous PJ, no errors or misprints on mine.
It was ghetto style, on the fly weight adjustment, just picking and peeling and sticking, seeing what felt right. Ended up with two grams at 12 (one long 8inch strip) and approximately four grams (two on each side) at 3/9. Will add a touch more at 3/9 for next time.
Sweet. For the record mine is 303 on the rdc. I'll weigh when I get home. May have gotten
One a little lighter like dri352 had. Regardless, I'm leading it when I get home.
What's your ideal setup with the 16m?
Ok killer..so you are playing with the SW a little low too? This is a good sign.
same size..........
Hey Roll...would you say this racquet is on the "players" side of things? I say that due to the very thin beam and control oriented / small sweet spot feel most are talking about.
Players stick. Very low powered, soft, no favors, requires player to do the lifting. Lead at 3/9 seems to open things up a tad, but still very much a players bat. And this is the 16m. 18m maybe even more so.
thanks Gads. same bucket as say the Prestige MP?
also...can anyone confirm that these have the same exact rectangular gripshape as the Head's (except the Speeds)
I broke down and bought an 18m. Haven't hit it yet but I did pull the grip off. It has a TK82 pallet so it will be the same. I think I'm going to swap pallets with a Speed 300 I have that has the TK82s.
Have you tried **** for pallets?
Ok here is my initial review after 3 hours.
Knowing this racquet would swing too light after getting it measured, I put 2 grams at 3, 9 and 12. It weighed 342, SW around 318, 5-6pts hl. I wanted to salute the past so I had the shop throw in POSG at 56#s.
Serves were solid. This racquet has "the sound" on contact. Not difficult, but I could tell the racquet was swinging a little fast for me. There is very good spin on the serves and flats are very precise.
At first the racquet was swinging fast for me so it took a little time to get used to groundstrokes. Once I got the timing though, I started hitting the nice line drive balls with crazy precision. The racquet feel is real similar to the pt630 to me. It is extremely comfortable, and hitting forehands and backhands with it is incredibly accurate. Easily as good as the Dunlop 200 to me. And speaking of that, I have an old Mfil in my closet. It appears to be the same size, and I think this is a 95 and not a 98.
Compared to the 200, the Tec has more power. But it is not a powerful racquet. It is a little hard to describe, but I was able to hit deep and controlled shots after getting used to the stick. Besides the feel, the consistency and accuracy of the racquet is the selling point. I found it easier to hit tight corners over and over again. This racquet was rewarding, but you have to turn to the side and prep on all your shots and have good footwork to get the most out of this stick. I also think you have to play this racquet at a little heavier weight since it swings so fast. I had no trouble hitting approaches, it was very easy to fling them over the net, which is how I know when a racquet is too heavy for me.
Thought the grip shape would bug me, but so far it is ok. It is the first Head grip I have used in 1/4 size. That is the way to go for me. I had no trouble finding my grips.
I also added 2 more grams to 12. I want to see how that plays and add a little plow. Still need time to nail the lead so im interested in seeing what you folks do. Im currently 5 pts hl and at 344 - 325 SW. Definitely do not want to go much heavier as the ability to whip a 12oz racquet is pretty awesome.
So far the racquet is very very impressive to me. If you can generate your own power and know how to mod racquets and make them fairly heavy, its incredible. It also is incredibly comfortable for the level of feel it provides.
Do you think the comfort is because of the handle? Is the silicone in the handle noticeable?
I think the comfort is due to a combination of the flex, the layup and the silicone.
Power Player,
I have read that you played the TFight 305, what would be your comparisons between the two racquets as far as performance goes? I know the 305 is much stiffer, and I play the 325 myself, but just out of curiosity.
If you guys are interested, here is the TW review of the 16M version!
I would ignore some of the comments from the testers like: "It reminds me of Head Speed 16x19" or "Presige pro"...
IMO, the TF315 has nothing incommon with those two, and those two are different from each other...
I think the 305 is a little easier to use than the 315. It hits a nice line drive ball and reminds me a lot of the blade. The issue I had with it was the stiffness was pretty high.
The 315 beats it in control and feel. 305 has a little more power. They both hit a similar ball. I think the 305 is the closest stick to the Blade out there.
What's with that 18x19 pattern on the 305? Is that considered open or closed? Since it still has only 19 crosses, it should be fairly open? Its like if a 16x19 and a 18x20 had a baby.
Its real closed. My friend randomly demoed it and we both loved it. He ended up buying the Juice Pro though. But it was basically the catalyst that got me into the Blade.
My issues with it were the grip shape was weird (not the same as the one on the 315) and it was stiff.

Bill Clinton: "Who wants a president who will lie to you?"
Yes, it has come to this. Bill Clinton asks at around the 45 second mark, "Who wants a president who will lie to you?" No shame, no sense of irony. Unbelievable!

It's not as bad as what happened to the people in Human Centipede, but for the past four weeks, I have been a Human Cow. I am breastfeeding our baby, Max. He has been alive for 29 days and eats about once every two to three hours, for a total of 10 times a day…. Continue reading
Little Max in the New World
The old man in the wheelchair looked over, his eyes meeting mine from below the brim of his Buffalo Sabres cap. I apologized for the infant squirming in my lap. Max, our baby boy, had wailed the entire way from the newborn ward of Sisters Hospital to the building's main entrance. Now, as we waited… Continue reading
Who is Keith Richards?
I was in eighth grade when I first realized how dumb I was in the pop culture department. We were in Spanish class, doing an exercise where we talked about our favorite things. My teacher called on me. "Who is your favorite actor?" she asked in Spanish, or some permutation of that question. A long… Continue reading
Fictitious Nonfiction
There is a scene in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, a book by celebrated writer John Berendt, where two lovers are having sex in a cemetery. Berendt describes the interlude in detail, even quoting the conversation of passersby whose sudden appearance startled the intertwined pair. The quotes are rather long, which got… Continue reading

There had been an ice storm, they said. Their basement was flooded. Their power was out…. Continue reading
Reconstruction and Man on the Moon
They say that almost 23,000 soldiers were killed, wounded, captured or otherwise lost at Antietam during the Civil War. The battle lasted a single day in September of 1862. This week, I visited the fields where the fighting took place. The land today is all rolling hills: orange meadows and plots of bare-branched forests peppered… Continue reading
No Sandwiches
There are a million, gazillion things you're not supposed to eat when you're pregnant. My boss, John, told me (emphatically) to stop drinking soy milk. Other people have raved against potato and macaroni salad from the deli. Online message boards and baby websites say to avoid hot dogs, hamburgers, soft cheeses, caffeine, green tea and… Continue reading
The Marinated Cat
Some time ago, there was a story in The Buffalo News about a man from Cheektowaga who was caught marinating a cat in his car. Police discovered the animal after it started meowing in the trunk during a routine traffic stop. The suspect had slathered the household pet in oil, chili peppers and salt. He… Continue reading
The Girl With the OK Face
I was talking to my friend Andrew about finding love in New York City when he mentioned a girl named Erica. He was thinking of asking her out. "She has a great body, but an OK face," he said, or something very close to that. For context, Andrew is about 30. He lives in a… Continue reading
