Artist Profile: Annie Lee
My Cup Runneth Over - a 550 piece puzzle from artist Annie Lee.
Annie Lee is an artist that describes herself as painting scenes of every day life, saying, "I try to paint things that people can identify with." Art commentators have called her distinct style "Black Americana." She paints two-dimensional figures and incorporates elements of humor, satire, and realism in her work. Notably, she does not paint faces on her figures because, she says, "You don't need to see a face to understand emotion. I try to make the movement of the body express the emotion," she says.
Lee was born in Alabama where she and her brother grew up being taught to cook, wash, clean, and sew together. She began painting at the age of ten and her talent was immediately apparent: she began winning contests and even secured several free semesters of lessons at an art institute. In high school she continued honing her artistic talent and cheered for her high school football team on the cheerleading squad. She turned down a scholarship to Northwestern so she could marry and have a family, saying, "At the time, it wasn't a hard decision to make." Lee ended up in Chicago and did not return to painting until she was 40 years old, after she had lost two husbands to cancer and had raised two children.
While working at a railroad company by day, Lee began to take art classes at night. After eight years, she earned a master's degree from Loyola University and recalls the experience saying, "The best thing I ever did for myself. It reopened my mind." Lee's passion for painting stayed intense. Because she was painting so much, she developed tendinitis and spinal problems while the acrylic paints she used cause other illness from the fumes. But she never stopped. Instead, in 1986—a year after her successful first gallery show in which her paintings sold out in the first four hours—Lee made the transition from painting's being hobby to a full-time job. She left the railroad permanently while on leave after her son died in December in an automobile accident. "Now that my son was gone, I didn't need such financial resources," she said.
The risk paid off. Lee has since opened her own shop; had her art featured in numerous shows and movies, including Bill Cosby's "A Different World," Eddie Murphy's "Coming to America," and ER; and she has considerably recognition in the United States, the Caribbean, Europe, and Japan. She currently lives in Las Vegas where she continues to paint in the open air where it helps her health. Lee is just one of many wonderful artists featured in our African American Art Collection.
Hattie's Delight is a really popular puzzle by Annie Lee. 500 pieces, made by Sunsout.

Janitor arrested in Kansas State campus thefts
Computers, electronics taken from plant sciences building
A janitor at Kansas State University is suspected of stealing thousands of dollars' worth of computers and other electronics from offices in and around the plant sciences building.
WIBW-TV reports the 33-year-old janitor remained in the Riley County jail on $20,000 bond Wednesday, one day after he was arrested on campus.
University and Riley County police searched the janitor's Manhattan home and another house in the city. Officers reported finding large amounts of stolen property as well as drugs, cash and a gun.
Kansas State police Capt. Don Stubbings says authorities are sorting through the recovered items and trying to match them with their rightful owners.
Investigators said the thefts in and around Throckmorton Hall had been going on for months.

Best grown in moist, organically rich, well-drained soils in full sun. Rhizomes may be left in the ground in USDA Zones 7-10, however in the St. Louis area (Zones 6a-5b), the rhizomes should be lifted in fall for overwintering. Plant rhizomes 4-6" deep and 18-24" apart in spring after threat of frost has passed. Remove entire flowering stems immediately after bloom. In fall, cut plants to the ground after first frost and lift rhizome clumps for winter storage in a dry medium (peat or vermiculite) in a cool dry location than does not fall below 40 degree F. Rhizomes may be occasionally sprayed with water in winter to make sure they do not become so dry that root shriveling would occur. Container grown plants can be stored in their containers in winter. Propagate by division in spring before replanting outdoors.
Cannas are large rhizomatous tropical plants that produce flower spikes in summer atop erect stems sheathed in large paddle-shaped leaves.Genus name comes from the Greek word kanna meaning a reed.'Australia' is a popular purple-leaved cultivar that grows 4-5' tall. It features burgundy-black leaves (to 10-20" long) that hold the foliage color well through summer. Bright red flowers (to 3" across) appear in racemes atop burgundy-black stems from mid-summer to fall. Dramatic foliage provides considerable ornamental interest when the plants are not in flower.
Rhizomes may rot in poorly drained wet soils. Leaf spots, rust and bacterial blight may occur. Watch for aster yellows. Japanese beetles, caterpillars, leaf rollers, slugs and snails may chew on the foliage.
Group or mass in beds or borders. Effective planted with both annuals and perennials. Foundations. Large containers. Leaves are particularly impressive when backlit by sun.

Abyaneh is a famous historic Iranian village near the city of Natanz in Isfahan Province.
Characterized by a peculiar reddish hue, the village is one of the oldest in Iran, attracting numerous native and foreign tourists year-round, especially during traditional feasts and ceremonies.
An Abyunaki woman typically wears a white long scarf (covering the shoulders and upper trunk) which has a colorful pattern and an under-knee skirt. Abyunaki people have persistently maintained this traditional costume despite pressures from time to time by the government trying to change it.
Abyaneh also resisted conversion to Islam throughout the ages, and stayed Zoroastrian until it was forced to convert to Shi'ite Islam in the time of the Safavid dynasty, as were many other villages and towns that had held onto the Zoroastrian religion until then.
On top of the village sits the ruins of a Sassanid era fort.
Since June 2005, the village has been undergoing archaeological excavations for the first time ever, as a result of an agreement between Abyaneh Research Center and the Archaeology Research Center of the Iranian Cultural Heritage and Tourism Organization (ICHTO).
The Islamic Republic of Iran has been occupied since 4000BCE, making Iran home to the world's oldest continuous civilization.It is located in central Eurasia on two ancient trade routes. One runs North-South and connects the Caspian Sea to the Persian Gulf, the other one goes East-West between China, India, Europe and Africa.There's a city called Isfahan at the intersection of these two routes, which at one time was the wealthiest city in the world. Isfahan was twice the capital of the Persian Empire, during the Median and then Safavid Dynasties.Interesting artifacts from pre-Islamic Persia include the cylinder of Cyrus the Great, which is the world's first written declaration of human rights. The hanging gardens of Babylon (one of the seven wonders of the ancient world) and the Code of Hammurabi (a set of rules which outlast the King) are also on the list.The Persian Empire was so magnificent that returning Crusaders carried tales of its splendor and helped spark the Renaissance in Europe! Influence of the Zoroastrian teachings of equality also inspired Greek philosophers such as Aristotle and Socrates.The Persian Empire was conquered by Muslim Arabs around 650CE during the Sassanid Dynasty. Initially the Zoroastrian, Christian and Jewish faiths were tolerated but by 1000CE most Persians had accepted Islam.In the sixteenth century Shi'a Islam was declared in Isfahan to be the national religion of Persia and the second golden age began. From 1500 to 1720 the Safavid Dynasty built the greatest Iranian empire since before the Islamic conquest of Persia.Because of its strategic location and oil resources, World War I found Persia in the middle of conflicts between the Ottoman Empire, Russia and the British Empire-via-India. Persia became Iran as of 1935 and was ruled by the Shah, a Persian term for "monarch."In the Islamic Revolution of 1979 Iran re-established a theocratic government under the Ayatollah Khomeini.Today the capital of Iran is the city of Tehran, and Iran is known as the world's center of Shi'a Islam.Text by Steve Smith.

Africa Before American Slavery
The peoples of West Africa had rich and diverse histories and cultures centuries before Europeans arrived. Africans had kingdoms and city-states, each with its own language and culture. The empire of Songhai and the kingdoms of Mali, Benin, and Kongo were large and powerful with monarchs heading complex political structures governing hundreds of thousands of people. In other areas, political systems were smaller, relying on agreement between people at the village level.
Art, learning and technology flourished, and Africans were especially skilled with medicine, mathematics, and astronomy. In addition to domestic goods, they made fine luxury items in bronze, ivory, gold, and terracotta for both local use and trade.
West Africans had traded with Europeans through merchants in North Africa for centuries. The first traders to sail down the West African coast were the Portuguese in the 15th century. The Dutch, British, French and Scandinavians followed. They were interested in precious items such as gold, ivory and spices, particularly pepper.
From their first contacts, European traders kidnapped and bought Africans to be sold in Europe. However, it was not until the 17th century, when plantation owners wanted more slaves to satisfy the increasing demand for sugar in Europe, that transatlantic slaving became the dominant trade. This material was derived, in large part, from the writings of the International Museum of Slavery.
Slavery in America (view timeline)
Within several decades of being brought to the American colonies, Africans were stripped of human rights and enslaved as chattel, an enslavement that lasted more than two centuries. Slavers whipped slaves who displeased them. Clergy preached that slavery was the will of God. Scientists "proved" that blacks were less evolved-a subspecies of the human race. The invention of the cotton gin in 1793 solidified the importance of slavery to the South's economy. By the mid-19th century, America's westward expansion, along with a growing anti-slavery movement in the North, provoked a national debate over slavery that helped precipitate the American Civil War (1861-65). Though the Union victory freed the nation's four million slaves, the legacy of slavery influenced American history, from the chaotic years of Reconstruction (1865-77) to the civil rights movement that emerged in the 1950s.
In the tumultuous years following the United States Civil War, the federal government was faced with two conflicting challenges: to reincorporate the eleven states that had seceded from the Union, and to define and implement a strategy for ensuring the economic, political, and social rights of newly-freed black Americans.
Radical Republicans, with support from the United States Army and the Freedmen's Bureau, led the effort to pass and implement laws that ensured first-class citizenship for blacks. The 14th Amendment to the Constitution (1868) affirmed that black Americans were citizens of the United States and entitled to due process and equal protection under the law. The 15th Amendment (1870) stated that the right of citizens to vote "shall not be denied...on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude."
Conservative white southerners, and their northern allies in the Democratic Party, opposed all efforts to extend human rights to blacks. By 1877, the white southerners who wanted blacks "re-enslaved" had won; the new "slavery" was Jim Crow segregation.
Jim Crow (view timeline)
Thomas Dartmouth Rice, a struggling white actor, became famous by performing in blackface makeup as "Jim Crow," an exaggerated, highly stereotypical black character. By 1838, the term "Jim Crow" was being used as a collective racial epithet for blacks, not as offensive as nigger, but as offensive as coon or darkie. The popularity of minstrel shows aided the spread of Jim Crow as a racial slur. By the end of the 19th century, Jim Crow was being used to describe laws and customs that oppressed blacks.
Civil Rights (view timeline)
In the 19th and 20th centuries, the resistance of African Americans to their oppression was expressed in three general approaches, as illustrated by prominent leaders. Booker T. Washington (1856-1915) stressed industrial schooling for African Americans and gradual social adjustment rather than political and civil rights. Marcus Garvey (1887-1940) called for racial separatism and a "Back-to-Africa" colonization program. W.E.B. Du Bois (1868-1963) argued that African Americans were in the United States to stay and should fight for their freedom and political equality; it was this approach that laid the foundation for the American civil rights movement.
Post Civil Rights (view timeline)
African Americans did not emerge from the civil rights movement fully integrated into American society; this is evident by the disproportionately large numbers of blacks who are in poverty, under-educated, and incarcerated. Nevertheless, the civil rights movement did force the end of legal segregation, and spur the creation of a sizeable black middle class. In the 21st century, race relations remain a contentious issue in many sections of society.

Chefs-taurateur-prenuers…. Fagged off with fried chicken? Bored of burgers? Had enough hot-dogs? Scratching around racking your brains trying to dream up London's next ironic food sensation? Well worry not, as I've been sniffing around for some as-yet untapped retro food trends to keep you busy til summer at least.
So get on the phone to your graphic designer, quick, and have them knock up the logo, then book your slot in your nearest hipster pub.
Thank me later….
What with Poland supposedly being our first language now, I'm utterly astounded that Polish food isn't featuring in pop-ups all over town. The only Polish restaurant I can think of is Daquise in S Ken, and even that's supposedly not what it was. Bigos stew, golabki, pierogi all fabulous and ripe to be sent up into hipster heaven. 'Riling The Daily Mail' is surely a decent enough reason to do it as it is.
Possible names: 'Kasia in the attic', 'Got to Kotlet you into my life'
70s Suburban Soiree
This one's all about the style & decor. Floaty dresses, man-made fibre suits, moustaches, fantasy romantic swan paintings, orange and brown decor, veneered rosewood, stainless steel multi bowl servers with various kinds of nuts, the complete works of Shakespeare on the bookshelf (never to be read of course). Babycham probably. Apparently there was an Abigail's Party private member's bar in Soho in the 90s, but it was never like this.
Editor's note: Actually, just googled it and it looks a bit like one of @DowneyJD's recent creations, so maybe I'm a bit late to the party there.
Possible name: Abigail's Party
Pot noodle
The student super snack whose ad agency premeditated 'dirty' as a positive adjective waaaay before London's burger fans. Someone could fashion authentic style plastic beakers, complete with outrageous flavours and little sachets of sauce for the really daring. You'd get them at the table then have to pour on your own boiling water.
Possible names: 'Pot Luck' or 'So wrong, yet so right'
Baked beans on toast
Originally an idea suggested by Damian Hirst in the 90s for Quo Vadis, but never done. Everyone loves baked beans. Serving suggestion: Ironic mini 'tins' with Heinz style branding, and playful opened 'lids'.
Suggested dishes, cheesy beans, hot spicy beans.
Possible names: 'Bean a while' ' Beanz'.
Acid Drops
A bit Heston I know, but a sweetshop style pop-up dedicated to the sweets and desserts of the yesteryear. The 'proprietor' would be a bloke in his fifties who wears a brown shopkeeper's coat. Only two people would be in at a time.
Dishes: Syrup sponge, spotted dick, gobstoppers, cola cubes, all that.
Drinks: R White's Lemonade, Tizer based cocktails.
Drinks: R White's Lemonade, Tizer based cocktails.
Possible names: 'Wham Bar' 'E102' etc
Kebabs, yeah we've had 'Kebab Kitchen' but that was a go at the fancy shish and kofte type stuff that Mare Street and that place in South London has been doing absolutely brilliantly for years. No, we need someone to ironically do the doner.
Big fat elephant's leg processed style, but cunningly made with locally sourced hand-reared milk-fed lamb and served on artisan pitta. Two sauces, garlic & chilli, to be eaten together obviously, and a lump of red cabbage top by a couple of massive green chillies.
Possible names: Endless. 'And Doner-come back', 'In bed with my doner' etc etc.
Italian trat
Everyone knows my love of corny old time Italians, but what about a pop-up defining all this into one gingham table-clothed wicker chianti bottle candlesticked, tricolore salad and veal escalope big pepper mill fest? I'm thinking 'An Evening at Rao's' meets 'Lady and the tramp' spaghetti scene.
Possible names : 'Black pepper' 'Giorgio Giorgini'
Old time colonial Anglo-Indian.
Yes I KNOW Dishoom is sort of having a crack, but no-one comes close to that right blend of ludicrous uptight Victorian-ness and denture-proof textures.
Delicious mild creamy fruity curries with almonds, Kedgeree, mulligatawny, pineapple embassy pudding all served in a kind of tongue in cheek Kipling style. With pith hats, campaign furniture and mosquito nets.
Possible names: 'Boy scout breakfast', 'Calcutta Cutlets' .
The Middlesborough take on a breaded chicken cutlet with melted cheese and béchamel. Surprisingly refined for an after-hours post booze treat in a North-Eastern town, and tastes amazing.
The pop-up would be outside in winter, and women must go dressed in bare legs and mini skirts, blokes in ironed pastel coloured shirts, untucked.
Possible names: 'Tees me'

Va. Lawmakers Reportedly Consider 'Grand Bargain' on Abortion Legislation
January 15, 2013 — Virginia legislative leaders have met behind closed doors to discuss a "grand bargain" on abortion-related legislation, an anonymous Democratic aide told the Huffington Post. According to the aide, Virginia Senate Majority Leader Tommy Norment (R) and Senate Minority Leader Dick Saslaw (D) met in early December to discuss the terms of the deal.
Under the supposed deal, Republican leadership would have one GOP lawmaker vote with the Democrats on any new piece of antiabortion-rights legislation to ensure it does not pass. In exchange, Democrats would not raise abortion-related issues in the media and drop efforts to repeal recently passed abortion restrictions.
Jeff Ryer, a spokesperson for Norment, said any claim about such a deal is "balderdash." He added, "Senator Norment never offered any deal or arrangement to any member of the Democratic caucus concerning the introduction of legislation related to abortion."
Sen. Ralph Northam (D) -- who introduced two bills (SB 1080, SB 1082) in the Senate to repeal the state's mandatory ultrasound law, which was approved in 2012 -- said he had heard about Republicans offering an abortion-related deal, but he did not believe "anything materialized from those discussions." Northam added that for him, any bargain would have to "start with repealing what [Republicans] did last year" (Bassett, Huffinton Post, 1/12).
Some GOP Members Quiet on Women's Issues; Five New Antiabortion Bills Introduced
Mentions of legislation targeting abortion and contraception coverage were noticeably absent in Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell's (R) State of the Commonwealth speech on Wednesday, the AP/Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. House GOP leaders also failed to mention the issues the next morning during a press conference (Lewis, AP/Atlanta Journal-Constitution, 1/13).
Despite the lack of public comments, Republican lawmakers introduced five new bills in the first few days of the 2013 legislative session that would restrict access to abortion and contraception (Huffington Post, 1/12).
Del. Bob Marshall (R) and Sen. Richard Black (R) co-sponsored three bills that were designed to undermine the federal contraceptive coverage rules. Two of the bills (HB 1314, HB 1315) would allow private companies to refuse to cover contraception in their employee health plans, while the third (HB 1417) would exempt state government and local government plans from offering the coverage (AP/Atlanta Journal-Constitution, 1/13).
Planned Parenthood PAC Criticizes AG Cuccinelli Over Contraception Comments
Planned Parenthood Virginia PAC on Friday criticized Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli (R) for saying that going to jail would be an effective way to protest the contraceptive coverage rules, The Hill's "Healthwatch" reports.
Cianti Stewart-Reid, executive director of Planned Parenthood Virginia PAC, said, "For women, access to affordable birth control is not a political issue -- it is an economic issue." She added, "Women don't turn to politicians for advice about mammograms, prenatal care, or cancer treatments. Politicians should not be involved in a woman's personal decisions about her birth control" (Viebeck, "Healthwatch," The Hill, 1/11).

The cervix is the lower portion of the uterus (womb) that is located at the top of the vagina. Cervical cryosurgery is the use of extreme cold to freeze areas of the cervix.
Reasons for Procedure
This procedure is done to destroy and remove abnormal cells of the cervix, particularly precancerous cells.
Possible Complications
Complications are rare. However, no procedure is completely free of risk. If you are planning to have this procedure, your doctor will review a list of possible complications. These may include:
- Lightheadedness, fainting, hot flashes (during or right after the procedure)
- Cramping (during the procedure)
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Scarring or narrowing of the cervical opening
Factors that may put you at risk for complications during this procedure include:
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
You may want to plan for someone to drive you home.
Normally, no medications are needed for this procedure. However, over-the-counter pain medications are usually taken. They should be taken about an hour before your appointment. Ask your doctor if this is recommended for you.
Description of Procedure
A device called a speculum is inserted into the vagina to hold it open. The cryosurgery probe is inserted into the vagina. Nitrous oxide makes the tip extremely cold. The tip is touched to abnormal areas on the cervix. It is held there for a few minutes. The tip is removed. This allows the tissue to return to its normal temperature over the course of 3-5 minutes. This freezing and thawing cycle may be repeated several times for each abnormal area on the cervix.
You will remain lying down for at least ten minutes after the procedure. Some women may feel lightheaded and/or flushed after the procedure.
How Long Will It Take?
10-20 minutes
Will It Hurt?
You will probably feel some cramping during the procedure. Some women also describe a burning sensation.
Post-procedure Care
When you return home after the procedure, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
- Do not use tampons. Ask your doctor when you can resume sexual relations.
- Your doctor will schedule regular pap smears in the near future.
The abnormal tissue of the cervix should shed and flow out of the body in a watery vaginal discharge over 4-6 weeks. In some cases, more than one cryosurgery session may be scheduled.
Call Your Doctor
After arriving home, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Abdominal pain
- Vaginal bleeding other than light spotting, especially if it soaks more than one pad per hour
- Any foul-smelling vaginal discharge
- Continued pain or cramping not relieved by over-the-counter pain medications
If you think you have an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

|Sepharial's Arcana & Keys
The Arcana Of Stock & Share Key.
Key To Sugar Values.
The Master Key
The Golden Key.
The Eclipse System.
The Solar Lunar Values
The Solar Apex Method.
Sepharial (Walter Gorn Old)
Sepharial's Arcanas or Keys are his rarest and most important writings, being distilled applications of his most important techniques and systems. To originally acquire these writings Sepharial required a written application and signature of a non-disclosure agreement. Due to these restrictions, these writings have always been the hardest writings of Sepharial to find. This collection contains a sampling of these writings. The Arcana Of Stock & Share Key, and Key To Sugar Values, are direct facsimiles of the original documents. The Master Key, Golden Key & Eclipse System are transcribed reproductions, of these very rare works primarily focused on forecasting of horse races. About the Master Key, Sepharial said, "This system is deemed to be the final word in racing Systems. It embodies the result of 11 years of observation and research and is itself the easiest and most reliable of the many attempts that have been made to fathom the profundities of racing problems and it is claimed that The Master Key leaves others behind and gives the best results." The Golden Key, Sepharial comments, "is only published in typed script under an agreement which secures privacy and non-publication. This is the method I have employed in regard to all my Arcana. It would have been quite easy for me to have published the Golden Key as a book and in all probability it would have sold in thousands at a good price. But in doing so I should have emasculated its working value to all who possessed it." The Eclipse System was written sometime after the Golden Key, to which it refers, and it mentions recent racing from 1917. Some consider this Sepharial's most reliable system. The Solar Lunar Values & Solar Apex Method are brief summaries of the rules applied by these systems. Altogether this is the most complete collection of these rare materials ever offered, and should serve as an excellent guide into Sepharials deepest work.

Essential Mechanics of a Trading Business
Daniel T. Ferrera
2017.200 Pages. Over the course of any professional career, there comes a time when a return to fundamentals is necessary. Without a strong foundation, any structure will eventually fail. In this course, over a full year of developing trades are provided with interpretation illustrating the decision-making process, to hone the reader's recognition skills, somewhat akin to the art of tape reading. The content can be considered as beginner, intermediate and advanced, because the real essence of trading applies to all levels. Just as W.D. Gann taught more sophisticated concepts, theories and techniques, he always emphasized the fundamentals whenever an actual trading procedure was discussed. In all W.D. Gann's published works where he taught a trading process, that process was remarkably consistent, in each case. It always came down to two primary elements: pattern recognition and his money management rules. This practical trading guide teaches these core foundational principles which make "Speculation a Profitable Profession" as the great W.D. Gann himself taught. Based upon Gann's own teachings and techniques combined with a collection of practical tools and strategies, illustrated through a year's worth of sequential trading, analyzing the decision-making process, analysis logic and application of strategy on the offensive side, while using the principles of account, trade and risk management on the defensive side. This course brings together the two essential elements of the trading game required to assure success in trading.

|Gold Nuggets For Stock & Commodity Traders.
George Bayer
1941. 69p. This is a more philosophical presentation of Bayer's vision of the markets and the science or art of Financial Market Forecasting. Rather than delineating sets of trading rules or explaining technical astrological processes, here he is explaining the foundations, sources and philosophy of his techniques and theories. It is an exceptionally interesting book, essential for understanding this "Paradigm" of Forecasting, as used by Gann, Bayer, Baumring and the like. And easier read than most of Bayer's books more similar to "George Wollsten."

W. D. Gann's Science of Cyclical Periodicity Sequencing
Daniel T. Ferrera
2013, 285p. Numerous Diagrams. Software & Data Included. After seven long years of waiting since Dan Ferrera wrote his last course The Spirals of Growth & Decay, we are very happy to announce the release of his newest and latest work, Economic & Stock Market Forecasting, W. D. Gann's Science of Cyclical Periodicity Sequencing! During these last years, while Ferrera's interests have focused elsewhere, he has continued to write his Yearly Outlooks, giving a forecast for the economic environment and general stock market. These Outlooks have continued to be very popular, and have honed Dan's analysis and forecasting abilities to a new level, leading him to a NEW BREAKTHROUGH in his understanding of Gann's most complicated and secretive forecasting methodology, what we would call Cyclical Periodicity Sequencing. The intent of this course is to explain Gann's science of Mathematical Sequencing of periodic market patterns, and how it works in conjunction with Gann's "cycle theory", in order to forecast the general economy, stock market, or individual stocks, through identifying the periodic sequences of market action. It also presents a study of Key Options Strategies and techniques to take advantage of these forecasts for both short and long term trading. The course presents new material upon one of Gann's very deepest levels of analysis, which to our knowledge has never been so clearly and applicably presented in any other work prior to this. CD ROM Including Excel Cycle Modeler, Planetary Cycle Calculator & Dow Jones Data 1790-2010 Monthly, 1900-2013 Daily. INCLUDES FERRERA'S OUTLOOKS FROM 2009-2013! MEMBERSHIP IN ONLINE FORUM INCLUDED

"Of all the Gann forecasting techniques known, the Mass Pressure Formula has been one of the most closely guarded secrets. In fact, there are very few "Gann Experts" that even know how to create a Mass Pressure Chart or anything about the nature of its construction. These charts are based entirely on Gann's philosophy that "the future is nothing but a repetition of the past". Each year, W.D. Gann would draw up a stick figure forecast of the stock market averages and various commodity futures in his Supply & Demand newsletter service. He would provide commentary that would provide an outline of what he expected the market to do. Gann said that the future was just a repetition of the past and one needed only the right beginning to predict the future. In latter years, Gann provided something he called the Mass Pressure Chart. In his advertisement for his Master Mathematical Time Price and Trend Calculator, Gann said that he would provide a Mass Pressure Chart for the upcoming year. Based upon its vague description, the Mass Pressure Chart is supposed to indicate bullish and bearish trends according to Gann's Master Time Factor. I have talked to many Gann experts about the Mass Pressure Chart and most have no clue as to what it may be. I have never seen an actual original Mass Pressure Chart from W.D. Gann and I do not know of anyone else who has come across one. This course presents what I feel is most likely the solution to this question." Dan Ferrera. Contents: Instructions for Using the Excel Mass Pressure Worksheet. Mass Pressure Forecasting Article From Traders World Magazine. W.D. Gann's Mass Pressure Chart. W.D. Gann's Secrets to Forecasting. Forecasting Monthly Moves. W.D. Gann's 1929 Forecast Recreated. Special Stock Market Cycle Report I (Free Bonus). Special Stock Market Cycle Report I (Free Bonus). W.D. Gann's Original Forecasting Course. Includes CD ROM With Detailed Excel Spreadsheets For Creating Mass Pressure Charts, & Spreadsheet Duplicating Gann's 1929 Forecast.

|Stock Market Prediction: The Historical & Future Siderograph Charts & Software.
Donald Bradley.
1948, 2004 180p. The Planetary Barometer & How To Use It. Donald Bradley's Siderograph Indicator is a very popular market indicator used by many analysts to give current turning points and trend indications for the markets. We have kept Bradley's original work available for many years, but there has never been software to produce the charts readily available. Upon learning that services charged up to $100 per year for each Bradley chart, and that the only available software to produce the charts ran into the thousands of dollars, we put together a new version of Bradley's work including the Bradley Siderograph charts for 100 years from 1950 to 2050, including the software so that anyone can produce these charts for themselves. The historical charts will also allow researchers to track past performance of the Siderograph for the past 55 years of market history, and to have ready made charts covering the next 45 years. This book includes a CD ROM with the software, and is bound in a Hardcover. CONTENTS: Mystery of Mass Psychology; Human Response to Outside Forces; Tides In Affairs of Men; Cycles Write World History; Search for Causes; 3 1/2 Year Business Cycle; Planetary Aspects Are The Secret; Jupiter-Uranus Cycle; Planetary Periods & Synods; Symbols; Aspects in Action; Power of Aspects; Line of Aspectivity; computing; Example; Sideograph; Promises & Limitations. 100 Years of Siderograph Charts.

|NEW Lecture Notes From Baumring's Investment Centre Seminars.
Alfred Friedman.
1987-1990. 210p. For the past 15 years, the only resource that has been publicly available to convey Jerry Baumring's thoughts were the Lecture Notes of Julius Nirenstein. We have now discovered another set of equally excellent notes by Al Friedman. Al's Notes are almost as detailed and extensive as Julius' Notes but contain variations on coverage and presentation in many details, being just over 200 pages to Julius' 250. It is evident just by scanning them that there are many important elaborations, clues and details in these notes that will fill in holes in understanding Baumring's thought, and that together with Julius' Notes, they will give us a clearer and more elaborate understanding of the Law of Vibration.

http://www.bemanly.org - it'll help point out (for men) when they are being a pussy
I am a quiet hard ass who seldom complains (though don't mind hearing complaints) very outdoorsy - I own and farm 400 acres, run hunts, clear the land, run big equipment, break stuff, weld, etc. In my other life, I'm a white collar professional engineer - I can't stand being the office longer than a four a five days at time -so I fly out to the farms to get away every other week for 4 or 5 days. I'm a hunter - and I mean a real hunter - not one of these sissy's that takes a gun in the woods to shoot deer at 200+ yards. I bow hunt - I enjoy the art of bringing the game in very close - then putting a blade through them vs a bullet or even have them figure me out and never get a shot.
I broke my back and had back surgery at age 30 - took me 18 months to recover, stuff didn't go exactly right so they wanted to do more surgery, bed rest, etc - well F-that. I watched a giant 10-point go down with a poorly placed bow shot in the spine, he survived (barely) despite a terrible injury and lived and bred does for three years after that. I figure we're (people) made of the same stuff - so I ignore my doc's, get a trainer, lots of pain meds and although it took 5-years - I no longer need pain meds, am in the best shape of my life, run, workout everyday - even have a six pack. Sometimes you just gotta do what ya gotta do.
I want to target these metrosexual pussy's that believe they have to be subserviant to their wives (or girlfriends), help with the kids, or shopping, recognise hair cuts, discuss bed bath and beyond, watch oprah or worse...reality shows. I want to be able to illustrate the disagreeable action and then illustrate the corrective action. I'd like real women to enjoy the site too - those that want a man to handle them - at least from time to time. That will pull their hair, ignore them sometimes, etc.
In addition - I want to target these bellied up 30 year olds that believe since they are married or have kids that they can start to look like a weable vs a man. Women fall into this too - but Its my belief, women go AFTER the man has let himself go - as why the hell not both be slobs! Again - the website will endeavor to illustrate the disagreeable action and illustrate the corrective measures.
Preference will be given to all designs that do not use the words BE MANLY in the Logo and/or use the words, but have a portion of the logo be separated but convey the be manly theme. A rough example would be underamour's logo
The website is intended to be both real, sarcastic, funny and somewhat helpful. The logo should not alienate - or hell - maybe it should - you be the judge.
I'd like to sell hats and shirts on the site so ensure the logo works or could be made to work for that as well. It should be attractive to sporting/athletic types, outdoorsy types, womenizers, women, etc.
Quasi -sexual overtones are OK but not necessarily encouraged (use it if it works for you).
One of the manliest men I ever met was a dude named Dale who got kidney stones but had no sick leave - He was a backhoe operator that dug ditches for the State. That dude pissed out his stones standing at the doorway of the cab (of the backhoe) with a strainer (to catch the stones for the doc). He never mentioned he had the stones, the look on his face indicated it hurt like hell, but he never complained. He was just tough. The logo should be appealing to that kind of person.
Hopefully that helps - you can read and learn more about me on facebook - Tom Bartosiewicz - maybe it'll help you get a better feel.
