Validea is an advisory service which assesses stocks based on the investing criteria of many of the ...
3 Big Post-Election Concerns
11/07/2012 10:58 am EST
Focus: STRATEGIES
The presidential election is over—finally! A million campaign ads have run and $6 billion was spent—all to reelect President Obama and keep the House of Representatives under Republican control and the Senate in Democratic hands. Who can possibly think it was worth it?
- Read "4 Reasons Why Obama Won" and "4 Reasons Why Romney Lost" at The Independent Agenda.
But right now I want to address what's next for investors—not traders, not stock pickers trying to "play" post-election trends, but the rest of us who have most of our money in funds and exchange traded funds (ETFs) and occasionally adjust our portfolios in response to market moves.
I think the election's results raises three big concerns:
- continued gridlock in Washington
- perpetuation of the easy-money regime at the Federal Reserve
- and a possible international crisis involving Israel and Iran early next year
"I think this election is...probably going to intensify the gridlock and dysfunction," Greg Valliere, chief political strategist at Potomac Research Group, told me.
Valliere has been observing Washington, DC for three decades at the nexus of politics and finance—a hot ticket in today's macro-driven markets. I've interviewed him several times, and usually he believes that things will work out. But not now.
"I would say there's no agreement on major issues. The House is not going to be able to make a deal. They haven't been able to make a deal," he told me.
Valliere is referring, of course, to last year's horrendous negotiations over the debt ceiling, described in painful detail in Bob Woodward's new book, The Price of Politics.
Republicans were deeply divided over whether to accept any revenue increases as part of a "grand bargain" to raise the debt ceiling discussed by President Obama and House Speaker John Boehner. And the president, according to Woodward, fumbled the ball on the goal line in the negotiations' final stages.
But with a status quo election, what's going to change things?
Maybe the "fiscal cliff," when the Bush-era tax cuts and payroll tax cut expire and mandatory spending reductions kick in, potentially causing a $600 billion hit to the economy at the end of the year.
- Read Howard's analysis of how investors should handle the fiscal cliff at MoneyShow.com.
Before the election, President Obama talked about reviving the "grand bargain" talks, but the Republican victory in the House may make that less likely.
"With this vote, the American people have also made clear that there is no mandate for raising tax rates," Boehner said Tuesday night.
"I think they will kick the can," said Valliere, meaning Congress and the president will extend most of the tax cuts and delay the spending cuts until, say, March 31, while negotiations proceed.
"The good news is, it's unlikely we'll fall off a fiscal cliff in January. The bad news is this could drag on for many months," he continued.
Just what investors need—more uncertainty.
NEXT: The Fed and Iran|pagebreak|
The second big issue for investors is whom the president will name to replace Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke, whose second term ends in January 2014.
His successor, Valliere says, will most likely be Vice Chair Janet Yellen, who shares Bernanke's (and presumably President Obama's) dovish inclinations on monetary policy. That means that "quantitative easing"—the Fed's efforts to buy massive amounts of mortgage-backed securities in an effort to stimulate the economy and hiring—could be with us for some time.
- Read Howard's take on why the Fed's QE3 policy was a failure at MoneyShow.com.
And finally we may have a genuine international crisis—one I've been predicting for years—over Iran's nuclear program.
Tough sanctions appear to be working, sending the Iranian currency plummeting and creating genuine hyperinflation. Iranian leaders have made some noises about restarting negotiations with the US, but that's pretty dubious, based on historical experience. And its nuclear enrichment program keeps moving forward.
Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned repeatedly that the window of opportunity to stop Iran's plans is closing. This week he said Israel could attack Iran's nuclear program without American help, if need be.
And he's forged a coalition with ultra-hard liner Avigdor Lieberman before Israeli elections next January. If the coalition emerges victorious, Netanyahu will have a strong hand going into any conflict with Iran.
The blowback from that could be pretty bad—and in the real world, not Homeland. Note that at least two of these three events—the extension of the fiscal cliff and a possible Israeli attack on Iran—may take place in the spring.
That, coincidentally, is when the sweet spot for the market in the four-year presidential cycle comes to an end. May to October of the first year of a president's term is one of the weakest six-month periods historically, according to the Stock Trader's Almanac.
That's why I'd hold on for now—I expect Wall Street to celebrate the Fed's loose money policy for a while—and maybe nibble at energy stocks or oil ETFs, like the Energy Select SPDR (XLE) or United States Oil Fund (USO) as insurance against a new Middle East war. I'd also consider buying a little, not a lot, more SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) as insurance against an overly aggressive Fed.
And I'd keep my eyes peeled for any real technical breakdowns in the market. Yes, we have status quo in Washington, but that's no time for investors to get complacent. These people have repeatedly shown they can do a lot of damage.

Beasley, Allen, Crow, Methvin, Portis & Miles, P.C., hosted its tenth annual Legal Conference & Expo at the Renaissance Montgomery Hotel & Spa at the Convention Center on Thursday, Nov. 17, and Friday, Nov. 18. The event provides continuing legal education (CLE) credits and is open to all Alabama lawyers in private practice. The conference has grown steadily each year, from about 400 lawyers in 2007 to close to 1,400 in attendance this year. It is one of the top five legal conferences in the United States.
"The Beasley Allen Law Firm has successfully coordinated a unique conference for the last ten years, and I applaud their efforts," said Dawn Hathcock, Vice President of the Montgomery Area Chamber of Commerce Convention and Visitor Bureau. "Lawyers from all over the state have been given the opportunity to see everything Montgomery has to offer as a destination but that is just the beginning. Hosting nearly 1,600 attendees at the state's largest legal conference provides a huge economic impact in the River Region estimated to be roughly a million dollars."
Practice areas addressed at the conference included Product Liability, Business Litigation, Consumer Fraud, Medical Device and Drug litigation, as well as a section on Legal Ethics. Special programs include a presentation by Beasley Allen Principal & Founder Jere Beasley on the importance of trial lawyers in the judicial system; a panel discussion with Alabama Supreme Court Justices James Allen Main and Tommy Bryan; and remarks from Ken Riley, President of the Alabama Association for Justice; Cole Portis, President of the Alabama State Bar; Clay Hornsby, Deputy Director of the Alabama Law Institute; Shane Smith, Chairperson, Family Law Section of the Alabama State Bar; Allen Estes, President, Alabama Defense Lawyers Association; and Tony McLain, General Counsel, Alabama State Bar.
At the Legal Conference Expo, vendors provided demonstrations of products and answered questions about how attorneys can best enhance their practice. Event platinum sponsors for 2016 were Jackson Thornton Valuation & Litigation Consulting Group, Freedom Reporting and Virage. Legal and community groups also participated in the event to provide information about their programs and services to participants. This year included the Alabama State Bar Volunteer Lawyer Program, Alabama State Bar Lawyer Referral Program, Alabama Law Foundation, Alabama Civil Justice Foundation, Alabama Association for Justice as well as Cumberland School of Law.
"The Beasley Allen Legal Conference is a great way for our attorneys to meet peers from across the state and develop relationships to expand their understanding of the field," said Beasley Allen Principal & Managing Attorney Tom Methvin. "This is a unique opportunity for lawyers and we are honored to be able to offer this event for Alabama attorneys."

Below is my first attempt at developing a vegan moussaka recipe. It turned out quite good, and the only thing I would change in the future is to add additional types of vegetables to the mushroom layer/mixture.
I make traditional moussaka once or twice per year, and have
been wanting to take a crack at converting it to a vegan dish.
This is considered a classic Greek dish similar to Italian lasagna.
- 1 eggplant, skin removed and sliced lengthwise
- 6-8 Roma tomatoes, roughly chopped
- Half of a yellow onion. roughly chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- Oregano, parsley, salt, sugar, pepper (to taste), pinch of cinnamon
- 1.5 tablespoons flour (I use naturally gluten-free potato starch)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 - 1.5 cups almond milk
- Nutmeg, salt, and pepper (to taste)
- 2 cups crimini mushrooms, chopped
- 1/8 vegetable oil, divided
Slice the eggplant, salt, and allow to rest for 30 minutes. Wipe off the salt and accumulated moisture
after at least half an hour, spray pieces with oil, and sear on both sides. Set the seared pieces aside.
While the salted eggplant is resting, roughly chop the tomatoes, onion, and garlic. Put in pot with
some olive oil. Season to taste with oregano, parsley, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Cook until the tomato release
their liquid, cover pot, and simmer on low for at least thirty minutes.
While the salted eggplant is resting and the red sauce is simmering, prepare the mushrooms and
Bechamel sauce. Roughly chop the mushrooms and saute until browned; set aside. Melt the
coconut oil over medium heat, then whisk in the flour. Allow to cook for 2-3 minutes, whisking often,
then add milk. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Remove from heat when the sauce's
consistency is between that of cream and thick gravy.
Time to assemble! Spoon a bit of red sauce in the bottom, then place a layer of eggplant on top.
Spoon and smooth out half of the sauteed mushrooms, then half of the red sauce. Add another
layer of eggplant, then another layer of the remaining mushrooms and tomato sauce. Top with one
more layer of eggplant, then cover in Bechamel sauce.

Just uploaded the latest 45's into the store this AM. There are several different handle materials and I do like the Snakewood. It's nice and 'snakey'! Also like the looks of the new shields.
The question came up a couple of days ago as to what the difference is between the Lumberjack and the Roughneck. Not a lot. From what I've observed, the Lumberjacks bore the Tidioute trademark, carbon steel liners and of course the saw-blade in the 2 blade version. The Roughnecks have the Northfield trademark, brass liners, and the big pen and small clip on the 2 blade version. And of course the blade etch and the tube labels are different.
This will give you an idea of the size of the clip blade.

SAN BERNARDINO � Before an estimated 754 graduates of Silverado High School tossed their caps in the air Wednesday evening at the San Manuel Amphitheater, Valedictorian Alexia Victoria gave her classmates a few words of advice.
"Today is the start of a new chapter in our lives. Today is when we move on to bigger and better things," Victoria said. "Let us leave a trail others will be proud to follow. So conquer your fears, excel expectations. So spread your wings, hawks, and begin your flight into life."
Jourdyn Blair sang the national anthem to open the commencement. Victor Valley Union High School Superintendent Elvin Momon then accepted the class of 2013 as graduates on behalf of the Board of Trustees.�
In a pre-commencement interview, teacher Jessica Swift shared the story of Derek Ricketts. She said Ricketts supports himself working three jobs � at Cinemark, Mavericks Stadium and Vans.�
Swift said students such as Ricketts are "the reason I became a teacher."�
Ricketts finished with a 3.4 GPA. He said he encountered financial struggles at home, leading him to take on the jobs. He said managing time was a struggle, but he still found time to do what he loves to do.
Ricketts is a DJ, a craft he started to learn during his freshman year. He has played at parties and even school events such as the special-needs prom in May.�
Ricketts hopes to make it as a DJ, but said his "backup plan" is attending San Jose State University in August. Ricketts said he wants to become an elementary school teacher. �
"It's something I can fall back on. I hope to make it big as a DJ, but I really like working with kids," Ricketts said.
Victoria thanked faculty members John Pinkerton, Vikki Archer and Swift for her success through high school.
"Whatever it is that you do, I urge every single classmate here not to settle for the mundane and to reach for heights you will one day look back upon and smile," Victoria told her class. "I wish you all the best of luck in deciding what you choose to make of your future."�
Victoria graduated with a 4.6 GPA and will attend UCLA, where she plans to major in marine biology with the aim of working with sharks one day. Victoria juggled studying with her varsity cheerleading and track and field schedules.
She said her biggest setback was receiving a B in U.S. history as a junior. Victoria said she was a straight A student and was crushed to find out about her grade. She said she was able to accept it because "nobody is perfect."�
Pinkerton was emotional when talking about Victoria.�
"In addition to being fluent in three languages, smart as a whip, four years of cheerleading, two years of track, she's just nice," Pinkerton said. "That's what I like. We've got a lot of kids like that. You can't help but love them."

Mosquitoes are annoying, swarming, hitting pests, and a few are carriers of malaria, yellow fever, dengue fever, filariasis, and encephalomyelitis. Mosquitoes might be distinguished from different Diptera by their fragile, small look. Females have elongated mouth components and a definite proboscis nicely suited to piercing and sucking blood. Scales are current alongside the wing veins and alongside the decrease wing margins.
The sexes might be distinguished by the antennae: in females they're lengthy and slender with a couple of quick hairs; within the male they're feathery and plumose. Shut examination exhibits the antennae to be composed of 14 to 15 segments. The venation of the wings can be attribute for mosquitoes and is useful in species identification. Mosquitoes are significantly interested in man and animals, particularly to vibrant gentle and dark-colored clothes. The females are the blood suckers and can't produce fertile eggs with out ingesting blood. It's postulated that the blood provides the serotonin and epinephrine obligatory for manufacturing of gonadotropic hormone by the mosquito, required for ovulation. The eggs are laid on the floor of water and hatch into aquatic "wiggletails". These subsequently metamorphose into adults. Three genera-Anopheles, Aedes, Culex-transmit illness to man.
Mosquito management
1. Mechanical strategies
Wire screens for home windows and doorways. Mosquito nets. Repellants; sure lotions or lotions utilized to the pores and skin repel mosquitoes from bitting eg, citrignella oil, Indalone. Animal barrier: Putting cattle between the breeding locations and human habitations would deviate mosquitoes (significantly zoophilic) from biting man.
2. Pure or bodily strategies (ecological interference)
Altering the setting in order to turn out to be unsuitable for the mosquitoe eg, filling or drainage of the breeding place. Creating of hade if larvae require sunshine and vice versa. Altering of water stage, water present, PH.
three. Organic strategies
Introduction of a pure enemy (predator): a fish (Gambusia affinis) feed on larvae and pupae; launch of sterilized males (X-ray or chemical brokers) which compete with males in nature, mating with females. and leading to discount of the forth coming technology.
four. Chemical strategies (pesticides)
Used those in opposition to adults (adulticides). Pesticides klamboe act on contact being absorbed via the cuticle (contact poison). These are utilized as area spray with an insecticide, which causes fast knockdown of mosquitoes eg. pyrethrum (energetic ingredient in Flit), but it surely has no residual motion. And likewise by residual spray of resting locations of adults (walls0 utilizing an insecticide of lengthy motion (residual insecticide) eg, hydrocarbons as DDT and Gammaxane, Organophosphorous compounds as Malathion and Diphterex, carbamates as sevin. The dvelopment of resistance is a disadvantage of pesticides
Particular brokers might be utilized in opposition to aquatic phases. These brokers are utilized to water surfaces. Anopheline larvae are affected greater than culicines, being floor feeders. Pupae aren't affected, as they don't feed. Respiratory poison: making use of non-volatile oils suffocates larvae and pupae by blocking the respiratory spiracles. Residual pesticides are sprayed on water floor combined with mud or oil. They exert their impact by contact and ingestion. Virtually no single methodology alone is environment friendly in management. The mixed use of two or extra strategies (built-in management) would supply the next and extra environment friendly stage of abatement. Bugs escaped on methodology, are killed by different.

Boardwalk Empire actress Paz de la Huerta has reportedly been arrested after a violent altercation in New York.
According to the New York Daily News, De la Huerta allegedly attacked The City star Samantha Swetra at New York's The Standard Hotel.
Sources claim that an intoxicated De la Huerta threw a glass at Swetra's leg and punched her in the face after the reality TV star started joking about her intoxicated state.
Lindsay Lohan, who is said to be "seriously considering" accepting a plea deal offered in her felony grand theft case, was part of Swetra's party at the hotel. The actress reportedly helped Swetra pull shards of glass out of her leg.

If they bring this before the GG, she better call an election not this coalition crap. Then the fence sitters and the morons who vote for candidates who have no hope in winning can pony up an opinion on who should govern. Man I am pissed about this Dung. Diddle wankers. Diddle.
Ok so she calls an election... Same results... What happens?
I just want things to get done...
Perhaps the results won't be the same. I remember Dion respond to questions regarding the potential of forming a coalition gov't with the NDP. He said, NEVER. Give me a second shot at this I might not vote Liberal next time knowing this might happen.

Veteran Labor senator John Faulkner wants Senate candidates chosen by the party rank and file – but the NSW party has ensured his successor will be selected by the present, faction-dominated system.
Faulkner, whose term has three years to run, today announced he would not be seeking nomination for the term beginning July 1 2017.
On Friday the NSW branch will call nominations – even though the new, already elected Senate has not even begun.
The Senate candidates who will face the people at the 2016 election will be pre-selected by the July state conference, which will endorse the choices of the factions.
Nominations for the Senate team would normally be called next year. But the NSW party is going early on the grounds that there is a state election in 2015, as well as a national party conference, and the state conference could get crowded out of the calendar.
Faulkner today reiterated that at the July state conference he will be arguing for change to the party's rules "to address internal corruption and to open up the closed factional processes of selecting Senate and NSW Legislative Council candidates".
"No issue is more critical for Labor in New South Wales," he said.
Even in the unlikely circumstance that his proposal got through, it would not apply to this round of Senate preselections.
But it is considered to have no chance of passing because the right, which has the numbers in the NSW party, is digging in against it.
Opposition leader Bill Shorten has nominated giving the rank and file a say in Senate nominations as among the party reforms he wants made.
In his statement, Faulkner stressed that "my commitment to party reform and internal renewal remains undiminished".
Faulkner, who commands respect on both sides of politics, entered Parliament in 1989 and served as a minister in the Keating government and the Rudd and Gillard governments. As special minister of state in the Rudd government he proposed extensive changes to the electoral funding laws that, however, never passed the Senate. He later became defence minister but announced in July 2010 that he would leave the frontbench after the election. He was present at 2010 meeting between Rudd and Gillard on the night of the leadership coup and was a known critic of the overthrow of Rudd.
Faulkner was a member of the review panel that looked at the 2010 election; the review called for extensive democratisation of the party. Party reformers will be looking to him in the lead-up to next year's national conference to fight for broad-based changes.

Anticonvulsant Could Reduce Alcohol Consumption
Heavy drinking is responsible for approximately $223.5 billion in lost workplace productivity, health care and criminal justice expenses. The problem is widespread, with 23 percent of individuals over the age of 12 admitting to consuming five or more drinks on one occasion in the previous 30 days. Nearly seven percent of those surveyed said they drank heavily on at least five days in a given month. However, few of those that report heavy drinking end up seeking treatment. This is especially true of individuals that do not meet criteria for an alcohol use disorder, but whose drinking is problematic for their family members, as well as their communities.
A University of Pennsylvania study tested the effectiveness of an anticonvulsant medication called topiramate in reducing alcohol consumption among heavy drinkers. Previously the drug had been shown to be effective in helping drinkers abstain from alcohol, but the researchers wanted to test its usefulness in reducing alcohol consumption levels among problem drinkers.
The findings provide evidence that topiramate may be a useful tool, particularly for those that have a certain genetic makeup that is linked to the efficacy of therapy.
Lead author Henry R. Kranzler, M.D., professor of psychiatry and director of Penn's Center for Studies of Addiction, says the study is the first to examine the usefulness of topiramate to treat those that want to reduce drinking to safer levels, rather than curbing it altogether.
The study used a randomized double-blind design to test the medication among 138 heavy drinkers. Half of the participants received 12 weeks of treatment with topiramate, while the other half received a placebo. Both groups received brief counseling focused on reducing alcohol consumption. The trial was initially conducted at the University of Connecticut Health Center and was completed at the Center for Studies of Addiction at the University of Pennsylvania.
The study was conducted in three segments, with a one-week pre-treatment assessment, a treatment period lasting 12 weeks and a nine day period in which the medication dosage was tapered off.
The results indicated that the patients that were administered topiramate experienced fewer heavy drinking days than those that were given the placebo. By the end of the trial, the placebo group participants were five times more likely to have a heavy drinking day than those that were given topiramate. In addition, the participants taking topiramate had more abstinent days when compared with placebo patients.

We were quite disappointed when we arrived that the house we rented was advertised quite different from the actual property. Your listing for the vacation rental states; 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, free wifi internet, including a "newly renovated master suite full bath". In fact the property has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and limited internet. The 4th bedroom you advertised has no window and no privacy and has a very sour odor. You also never provided an address for the property even after several email inquiries and phone calls that you never responded to, which made finding the property difficult and time consuming.
You listed the rental vacation home with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, yet the bathroom in the master suite was locked, the internet was not working and very slow from the moment we entered the property, and the 4th "bedroom" had no window and smelled like wet wood, and there was no privacy between the 4th bedroom and the "master suite". The "master bathroom" was clearly under construction, not "newly renovated", and unusable by guests.
I rented your property with the understanding as you represented in your vacation rental listing that there was a master suite with bath, and by the term "master suite" the room and attached bathroom would offer privacy. There was no privacy for the master bedroom as there is a door entrance through to another room that your have listed as a bedroom, that, does not lock, nor offer any sound barrier. Your website clearly states three bathrooms. I would not have rented a place without a master bath. I am disappointed that we were forced to share bathrooms with the children.
This is false advertising. There are plenty of very comparable vacation rental properties in town for $150-$165 a night for 4-5 people that were available when I rented your vacation rental in March of 2015.
Along with the intermittent internet, that was not working from the first moments that we entered the property, that we immediately contacted you about and was a problem for our entire vacation, which makes my staying in touch with my work difficult. You advertised "free wifi internet", there was not any information in your property listing about limited internet, the lack of a master bathroom, lack of privacy and sour smell from wet wood in what you have listed as a 4th bedroom, and you never provided an address of your property and never responded to phone call inquiries, nor emails asking the property address, which led us to aimless driving around attempting to find the location. All of which is unacceptable and not as you advertised.
On a positive note the property is very nice and the hot tub was clean.

Blaming Labor for the "blow outs and the mess" in the vocational education sector is a government admission that it "took its eye off the ball", parliament has been told.
Opposition VET spokeswoman Kate Ellis blames the government for the billions of wasted dollars in the VET Fee Help Scheme altered under Labor in 2012.
"If they knew something was wrong on day one, why didn't they fix it on day one," she said on Tuesday.
MPs are debating bills to reform the VET system, with hundreds of courses scrapped from fee-help.
The government insists it tried to fix the sector with a raft of measures in 2015.
Vocational Education and Skills Minister Luke Hartsuyker argued unscrupulous course providers used Labor's scheme to trick students into useless study.
"VET Fee Help is a mess of Labor's making," he said.
The system has been plagued by provider rorting and targeting of vulnerable students to collect fees.
"Unfortunately many of my constituents have been left with large loans as a result of the scheme introduced by Labor, loans the cannot repay for courses that they did not want," Mr Hartsuyker said.
It was fine for someone to do a diploma of energy healing, but the taxpayer should not fund it.

Lori-Lynn - posted on 05/24/2009 ( 2 moms have responded )
My 5 month old is very big... 20 lbs, to be exact, but the doctor says she's healthy. She doesn't seem satisfied with just her bottles and the doctor also says that we shouldn't put rice cereal in her bottle or feed her a lot of baby food just yet (said that @ the 4 mo check-up). She know what food is & stares at our food when we eat. My dad gave her a vanilla wafer and she immediately started biting on it & she doesn't usually put things in her mouth. She usually only eats the baby food in the evening... baby food, bath, bottle, bed. I'm just wondering if we should start feeding her more baby food mixed w/ the rice cereal & if so, how much?

Last Thanksgiving my mom brought me a magazine clipping with a picture of felted acorns. A friend had given it to her and she wanted to know if we could make some of these for her for this year. Luckily, we both remembered we wanted to do this and were on the lookout for acorn caps.
|Tan Oak caps from our camping trip.
Mt. Madonna camping was the location where we hit the acorn cap jackpot. The tan oaks there were very cooperative!
Earlier this fall I started up the dyepot and dyed a couple different fibers with chestnut dye. I also added a little pumpkin orange for variation and depth of color. The fibers I dyed were light brown CVM, natural cream colored targhee, and some natural Suffolk that was left from a quilt batt. I also got out my carding and felting stash. (BTW, I made way more brown wool than needed for this project! It actually takes very little!)
|My embarrassingly large felting/carding stash!
We met at my house a couple weekends ago and did some wet felting! What fun! In my felting stash I have the remains of several sheer curtains and I cut out a couple squares of fabric about 6 inches by 6 inches. We used these to contain the wool while shaping. I had experimented with just rolling it in my hand, but that allowed to many lumps to form. We needed the acorns to be smooth, not lumpy! We rolled the wool and then wet it, wrapped it in the cloth and added a little dish soap and then just rubbed them in our hands. It took a little while to get them to smooth out, but keeping the cloth tight helped. Mom's hands are bigger and her acorns turned out longer than mine. We had real acorns for models and some were longer than others, so this was realistic.

"PULSE" - My First Story
2nd Lieutenant
Subject: "PULSE" - My First Story
Tue Jun 19, 2012 10:29 am
After seeing Fordan write a few stories on these forums, I decided to unleash my enjoyment of writing. I've been writing short stories for years, and as I refuse to share some of my older stories (because I wrote them when I was 10), I have decided to write a new one for you all. Like Fordan, I will be writing this over the next few days/weeks/months. I don't yet know how ít will end, I literally mean I'm writing this as I go along. If you wish to skip the inteoduction, the story itself is written in
.Things you need to know about the story:
- Hammer = A hybrid of a Helicopter and a Jet, basically the future version of a Black Hawk.
- One-Way Charge = A charge which explodes in the direction it's planted. If it is placed on a door, it will only damage to door.
- TCS = Team Communications System
Anyway, here's some background information.
The year 2063. While humanity has not yet begun colonization, the first man to land on Mars occured 7 years ago. Humanity has evolved with technology to create some of the most futuristic equipment you could imagine. The terrorist threat has risen over 50 years, and they are now as common as thieves. However, every country in the world has an elite team of soldiers who's goal is to eliminate the terrorist threat. These teams are know as PULSE Teams. This story begins in South Eastern Australia, where Echo Team has been deployed on the outskirts of the small town of Ouyen, to eliminate a terrorist threat which has already killed 34 civilians, and is holding 6 hostage...
Date: 14th March 2063
Recipient: Australian PULSE - Echo Team
Mission Briefing: You will be extracted to the outskirts of Ouyen in a Hammer piloted by Hotel 4. Hotel Team will remain in the Hammer providing air support. You will then eliminate the entire terrorist threat in silence. Detection is not an option. Once the hostages have been compromised, Hotel 4 will extract them to safety. Echo 4 will then arrive to extract you and your team from the location.
'Darkness. That's what it feels like. It's the middle of the day, but still darkness.' He sat there, thinking to himself. He felt a light punch on the shoulder, and looked up. "Hey! You alright?" "Yeah, it's just. 34 people, dead." "Well Hey, Michael" Rico replied. "That's why we're gonna kill every last one of those bastards!" Rico Storm, Echo 2. Rico was a strong man. His parents we're born as islanders from New Zealand, but he was born in America. When he was 23, he moved to Australia, and has been there ever since. Rico was the demolitions expert in Echo Team, he knew a bomb like it was his baby. "Count me in!" came a voice next to Michael. It was Stephanie Longhouse, Echo 3. One of the few female PULSE members in the world. A striking woman, no older than 27. She had long red hair which was clearly dyed, which many people found attractive. But she just said she collects bottles of terrorist blood and puts it in her hair. She's stronger than everyone thinks. Born in Australia, she is the marksman of Echo Team. She knows a sniper rifle as well as Rico knows a bomb.
And then you've got Michael Swanston, Echo 1. The leader or Echo Team, Michael is an experienced fighter in his mid thirties and is the electronics expert in Echo Team. Born in the outback of Australia, Michael grew up on a farm. He always dreamed of living on a farm, with the lucky lady he hasn't met, and settling down for the rest of his life. "This is the drop zone, I'll bring us down." Hotel 4 began to lower the Hammer towards the ground, as the canapy doors slowly opened, revealing the hot dry dirt of this small desert. Echo Team all loaded their weapons, and checked their armour and equipment. The Hammer stopped decending, and hovered over the ground. Stephanie jumped out first, followed by Rico and Michael. The other two walked off a bit to examine the area, while Michael turned around and saw the Hammer facing him, as well as Hotel 4 in the cockpit. "This is as far as I can take you, I can't risk detection. I'll head for the skies and update you on the mission as often as I can." The Hammer began to accend into the sky above him, and a blue wave ran over it, followed by a camouflage effect. The aircraft disappeared, but it could still be heard. Michael turned around and walked towards the other two, as the drone of the Hammer slowly faded.
"Alright, we know our orders. Lets get this done swift and silent." Echo 2 and 3 nodded, and followed Michael as they walked in the direction of Ouyen. After a 5 minute walk, they saw the town in the distance. "There's a hill over there." Stephanie pointed out. "It will work as an effective recon point." The team moved through the dirty wind, and laid down at the top of the hill, out of sight. Michael examined the location, and opened the PA system. "4, can you provide enemy locations for us?" He waited a moment, and he heard the PA system crackle into life. "I can, but they have jammers running. I can't provide the locations of anyone under a roof, everyone else is a sitting duck." "Bring them online now" Michael replied. He turned off his PA system for a moment. "Guys, tango possitions are coming online. Visors down." All 3 of them lowered a green visor over their eyes, which emerged from somewhere under their helmet. The PA system came back online. "I'm tagging all visible enemies now." One by one, each terrorist appeared right before their eyes, whether they we're behind a wall or not. "Stephanie, your up." "With pleasure." she replied. She pulled out her sniper rifle, and lined up her first shot, taking the target's head clean of his shoulders. Rico and Michael watched as each bullet silently exited Stephanie's rifle, and soon after the red outline of another tango disappearing. After no more than a single minute, all the red outlines we're gone, and none of them knew about their fate.
"That was some nice shooting." Rico complimented. "It's too bad I didn't bring a bottle to take their blood". "Guys, activate camouflage systems." They all stood up, disappearing into thin air as they did so. They moved quickly towards the town, and made it there fast. The team slowly made it through the streets, taking out any threats which we're hiding in the buildings. They eventually made it to the prioritised building. "Stack up on the door, I'm gonna tag any tangos I can see through the windows." After circling the building, he had tagged a total of 5 tangos, as well as the six civilians. He returned to the other two and whispered the plan. "I've tagged tangos with red, civilians with blue. Be sure for any unmarked enemies, I'm not sure if I got them all." "Rico looked unsure. "And the civilians, have you tagged them all?" "I'm certain of it, you two ready?" They both replied with a "yes sir." "Alright then, deactivate camouflage and place a one-way charge on the door. Following his orders, they both deactivated their camouflage and Rico set the charge on the door. "Alright, I'm going to sneak around the back and break in from there when the charge goes off." "Are you crazy?" Stephanie replied. "You can't use your camouflage, the generator needs to cool down." Michael stepped towards Stephanie with his hands out, about to reassure her. "I can creep under the windows, it will be fine." Stephanie challenged him. "If you get spotted this whole mission will go to hell!" Rico stood back listening to the two argue under their breathes. "There are hostages in there who's lives are in danger. If I can get to the back door, we can have them pinned down. Right now, those civilians are in danger, and we need to do something NOW!" Stephanie stared at him for a moment, and stood down. "Yes sir," she whispered. "Alright then, stack up and wait for my signal"
Michael began to creep around the building, and very slowly made his way around, making sure he was out of sight. He successfully made it to the back door, and stood up, breathing a sigh of release. Then, the door opened, and a masked man walked out with a cigarette in one hand and a lighter in the other. He looked up, and stopped, as his eyes met Michaels. He dropped the lighter, and it hit the cement with a loud 'clink!' Everyone in the room behind him turned around, including the hostages. "BREACH!" shouted Michael. The front door exploded in a cloud of dust as Rico and Stephanie entered the building taking down every tango they saw. Michael aimed his rifle at the masked man's leg and fired a single shot, incapacitating him. He then grabbed gim around the throat, using him as a human shield, firing at all the terrorists he saw. They fired back at him, ignoring that he was using their comrade as a shield. In a matter of ten seconds, every threat had been eliminated. Michael released his shield, and the masked man fell to the floor with over 15 bullets in his chest. While Rico and Stephanie made sure the hostages were okay, Michael opened the PA system. "4, the hostages have been compramised and are safe. We'll bring them to the courtyard for extraction." "Roger that. See you soon." Michael walked over to the group. "Alright, all of you follow me, now!" He walked out the front dolr with everyone following him.
They arrived at the courtyard without any trouble, and right on time, Hotel 4 deactivated the Hammer's camouflage and landed the ship in the middle of the courtyard. All the civilians were lifted onboars, and the ship took off and flew away. Echo Team sat down. "I guess there's not much we can do until our ride arrives." Rico claimed with a comedic tone. Stephanie looked over at Rico. "We can tie some of the dead guys to the street lamps and get some target practice." At this point, Michael's PA system unexpectedly crackled into life. "Echo 1, this is Hotel 4, I saw a large group of bad guys heading towards the town from the south. They've got around 100 troops, and a tank as well." Michael swore under his breathe. "How long until they arrive?" Rico and Stephanie looked up at this in confusion. "They're no more than 2 minutes away, you better prepare yourself." Michael looked down at the ground in frustration. "Thanks 4, hope to see you again some day." You too 1." The radio fell silent. He stood up. "Guys, we've got company. 100 troops and a tank." Rico and Stephanie looked at eachother, them back at Michael. "You're kidding me, right?" Rico asked hopefully. "Afraid not. Take cover possitions around the courtyard, we're gonna have to hold out until Lewis arrives. They do as they're told, and prepare for a fight. After a suspenseful wait, troops appear. "Wait until they spot us, we might be able to avoid a fight" Michael whispers into the TCS. They avoided detection for 5 seconds, before one of them shouted in an unknown language pointing in their direction. "WEAPONS FREE!" Michael shouted. Then, the courtyard exploded in gunfire and became a warzone. Fighting as best as they can, Echo Team soon realised they couldn't hold out forever. "EVERYONE, STICK TO BLIND FIRE!" Michael screamed. The other two instantly responded by ducking behind cover and firing their guns over the wall. The situation was hopeless, and then the bad got worse. "TANK!" Rico shouted. Michael and Stephanie turned to see a tank roll around the corner. It slowly turned towards Rico and Stephanie's possition. Michael saw this, and acted accordingly. "GUYS, FALL IN NOW!" The two stood up and sprinted towards Michael, firing on the move. They moved just in time, the tank fires, turning their previous possition to rubble. They ran towards Michael, when Rico screamed and fell to the ground. "RICO!" Stephanie shouted as she dragged him the rest of the way. He was alive, but he had been hit in the shoulder. The 3 of them sat there, knowing that on the other side of their cover point, there was a tank which was turning towards their possition. When they thought it was the end, a Hammer swooped down, firing a missile over their possition and destroying the tank. It slows to a hover above the courtyard and unleashed a terrifying spray of bullets at the troops, who cowered behind the destroyed tank. It then lowers down to the ground, and Echo Team makes a run for it. Michael and Stephanie helps Rico onboard first, then Michael jumped on and helped Stephanie up. With all of them onboard, the Hammer rose into the air and flew away.
As they sat there, breathing heavily, a familiar faced pilot turned around. "Hey guys, I was just cruising the neighbourhood, and happened to see you all in quite a prediciment. So I thought I'd lend you a hand." "I must admit Lewis," Michael replied, "this is the first time I've ever been happy to see you. Lewis Taylor, Echo 4. He was the pilot for Echo Team, they say he never once left is Hammer. He even named it, Betsy. "Well, you guys are safe and sound now. You've got your Uncle Taylor flying you home." "I'm not exactly sure that's safe." Rico remarked. Even with his wound, he still managed to find time to crack a joke, as they flew away with their mission accomplished.
End of Part One

Good story is what I could say at best, though I didn't read much. Just try and keep parts small. It'll take me awhile to read through that wall of text. Yes I personally know that you can have ideas for a part but spread them out.
Oh and since Skirata be posting here, might as well ask. Skirata, I have a (LONG) story from around 2-3 Years ago that got to 36 or something parts before I "ended" it. Loved the story myself, and a lot of people did, so I was going to post it up and restart my progress on it. Only problem is that there's a rule on this site: no swearing. The story includes swearing due to the events of the story. Soooo.....?

I am already an expert in my subject – why do I need PTLLS ?
I am already an expert in my subject – why do I need PTLLS ?
Being an expert in your subject is a very good start towards becoming a teacher as good teachers / trainers know their subject inside out and can answer any questions easily. However, teaching is not just about answering questions – it is about passing on skills and knowledge to students and helping them come with answers themselves.
For the teacher to be effective, he or she has to make lessons interesting and actively involve students. This can be done via a range of activities and resources. Good subject knowledge will make it easy for the teacher to think of examples which will make the session relevant to each individual learner, however, before doing that, teacher has to find out what learners want to learn, what they already know and how they wish to use their knowledge in future. This is where planning and preparation plays a major role. On the PTLLS course we discuss such issues as initial assessments, course and lesson planning, key stages of a lesson and the like.
Apart from planning skills the teacher also has to have good interpersonal skills to motivate and encourage students. Building a rapport and setting a positive atmosphere can engage even the most challenging learners. The teacher has to know how to identify each student's needs and how to address them at the same time as attending to the needs of the whole group.
These are just a few things that make a part of teacher's role. PTLLS is a stepping stone qualification in teaching in a lifelong learning sector and it addresses the key principles that every effective teacher / trainer has to grasp.

Are conventions like cults?
What?!? You say. How can one even make the comparison!?!? Hey -- after a days of sleep deprivation, repetitive messages and entrapment in an enclosed space, you'd start seeing similarities too. And where do you think the phrase "Drinking the Kool-Aid" comes from?
Following the thesis, I did a quick-and-dirty Web search that turned up this Web description of cults. It's from the University of Alabama (where the stars are so blue ...), so it seems appropriate for this blog:
A cult is a group characterized by (a) distinctive rituals of devotion to an idea or person, (b) isolation from mainstream ("evil") culture, and (c) a living, charismatic leader.
So, for four days, Republicans from across the country are pulled together in Madison Square Garden for speeches, workshops and songs devoted to the re-election of George W. Bush. They do this under a cordon of security officers and avoid protesters, many of whom are closer to the political mainstream of highly liberal New York City. Democrats may quibble with C, questioning Bush's charisma. That will get you nowhere with the Kool-Aid drinkers.
Cult leaders are usually bright individuals who are skilled at manipulating people. They claim special knowledge that they will give to "true believers."
Once again, Democrats may quibble with the choice of Bush as standard-bearer. But Karl Rove? Interesting ...
Cult recruits
A. Recruits are usually under 25.
B. About one-third have depressive symptoms, having just experienced a significant loss (e.g., death of a loved one, end of a relationship, loss of a job). Only 5-6% of recruits demonstrate major psychological problems prior to joining. Cults don't want new members with serious psychological problems.
C. At least temporarily, many recruits are suffering from low self-esteem.
D. Frequently, recruits come from middle-class backgrounds because such people tend to be more trusting of others. It is important to note that there can be exceptions to these characteristics.
This was probably more applicable in Boston. The Democratic Party has rules requiring a significant proportion of young delegates at their convention -- and certainly people who have lost their jobs, i.e. outsourcing -- are more likely to turn to the Democrats this year. And low self-esteem? Watch John Kerry as he attempts to figure himself out. War good? War bad? Warning signs, warning signs ... the nominee may need an intervention.
Recruitment techniques include the following:
A. Initial meeting that emphasizes care for the potential recruit and a general discussion of "philosophy of life". People are invited to return for a follow-up weekend retreat.
Also known as the presidential inauguration.
B. Weekend retreat involves songs, chanting, discussions, and sleep deprivation. Recruits are encouraged to make supportive statements. Commitments that are made voluntarily, publicly, and repeatedly are usually internalized.
Bingo, bingo, bingo, and bingo. From Lee Greenwood's "I'm proud to be an American" to "Four more years" to daily get-out-the-vote meeetings to schedules that start at 7:30 and end at midnight, every mind-control technique is in full force.
C. Physically and psychologically remove members from mainstream society.
D. Distract members from thinking "undesirable " thoughts. This is often accomplished through rituals, chanting, and sleep deprivation.
E. Gradually escalate demands placed on members.
F. Fixate members' vision on the notion of a "promised land" and better life if they remain faithful.

Top Made-in-Canada Eco Films
Being Caribou
2004 | Directed by Diana Wilson and Leanne Allison | 72 min.
In an attempt to draw attention to the threat proposed oil drilling could have on the remarkable Porcupine Caribou herd, husband and wife team Karsten Heuer and Leanne Allison throw on heavy packs and skis and follow a herd as it migrates across 1500 km of Arctic Alaskan tundra. A miniature George Dubya figurine that the couple takes with them adds humour. Stunning footage of the elegant creatures in the expansive landscape more than argues against the Drill-Baby-Drill side of the debate.

After her father's work gives them the wrong plane tickets, Bellatrix and her dad are off to Paris. Her father is an internationally known historian, who majored in Greek History and mythology. He knows a little-or well, a LOT more about Greek mythology than he lets on. There something wrong though. It's too much for one to keep alone, just enough for two, and too much for three. What could it be? A secret. Something that Bellatrix can't be told. But no one can stop her from figuring it out. Not even the gods. When her world turns upside down, how can she stay right side up?

@LovelySam I have never heard of a story with the name bellatrix. I dont mean to be rude, but how are they NOT original, if i came up with the idea to use it? and bella was just a nickname. So how is BELLATRIX not original? What story has the name bellatrix in it?

@Zuri-a-zillion Zeus is cool!And THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR REMINDING ME! dont ask about what, youll have to keep reading to find out, sorry :) but i will try to get a bit more in depth with all the emotions and things! Thanks for the help!
Zuri-a-zillion Aug 26, 2010
Zeus seems really cool! I would like to no a little more about the main character though. Like the emotions she felt about living with her dad 'so he could keep an eye on her'. Overall the story seems sweet. Dad seems alright as well but Zeus is the star. ^-^

But don't expect your videographer to be a cinematographer. Think about some memorable commercials you've seen that were really professionally shot. They were filmed by a cinematographer. If you want to portray your products and services in action and you want it to look like something from film, or at the least from the History Channel, Travel Channel, or other high quality production, then you need to have someone that knows how to do more than set up a tripod and some lights.
She was then thrown to the street, handcuffed and charged with resisting arrest and disorderly conduct. Many people do not like BestCamsAndVines.com. What you will find out is that they are not really searching for dashcam but for something else. Wow they grow them tupid in that part of the country, all of this was caught on dashcam, Mrs. Harmon promptly filed a law suit against the department for a whole host of claims, not the least of which is police brutality.
It doesn't matter if you drive a car, truck or an SUV you should be able to find the dash trim selection that will enhance the look of your vehicle. The wood dash kits come in a variety of wood grains that are made from the highest quality poly finish available for both beauty and durability.
On May 11, 2009 the Travis County Constables Office arrested Kathryn Winkfein and charged her with Resisting Arrest. During the incident the deputy constable used his electronic control device, commonly known as a Tazer. The incident was recorded on the officers in car video camera and has since become a favorite video for media to incite responses to their programs.
Another injury that is very familiar is the chest injury. This injury is a huge reason that the front airbag was invented. Before the airbag it was not rare for someone to be flung into the steering wheel where their ribs may have been broken and their internal organs crushed. Even though things are not as dangerous now because of the airbags there will probably be some bruising durin a awfully bad car crash.
So this is where GoPro HD Surf Hero comes in. What is GoPro HD Surf Hero? Well this is a GoPro hd camera designed specifically to get around this problem and to let you record some of the amazing action when surfing.
Dashcam Crash On the off chance that he did die, it would have thrown Disney for a loop, since his new movie Alice in Wonderland opens in early March. Terry Gilliam would have partially been blamed for cursing Depp, since he cast him as one of the late Heath Ledger's replacements in The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus – and had him give a speech about legends who died young. For now, that remains a tribute to Ledger, and not foreshadowing for Depp's own passing.
But with so many different digital cameras on the market today however, how do we choose? Do we even know what we are looking for exactly? To take the agony out of the equation, we have compiled a list of tips for you, which will help you decide on which is the perfect camera for you.
