The Hingham Vintage Base Ball program was started in 2007 by the Hingham Historical Society's Director and Derby pitcher Dot. Blood sweat and tears have gone into keep thing thing rolling. The years have passed but the friends have remained that way. Many is the Sunday afternoon we've sat together after a practice (or a beating) and enjoyed the quiet heat of a humid summer afternoon, tired and sweating but still talking about Base, this certain game of Ball. There are two teams in our little organization. The Mighty Derbies and the Underdog Coopers. The Derbies and the Coopers play each other each Independence Day holiday, competing for the Hingham Cup, a metal sort of old fruit bowl that seems to get lost every year. When we can, we hit the road and play other teams willing to throw us in the mix. In 2013, we're trying to expand that list of games past four! Huzzah!
- Third Base is around here somewhere. Just hit it.

"It's crazy, but you will get great deals!"
"Not worth your time unless you want to dig..."
"I got a swimsuit for $3!!"
"Not a place for pregnant ladies."
As the shower was wrapping up the curiosity was starting to get the best of me. I looked over at my friend Caitlyn (who mightttt start writing something awesome for this blog once a week!) and said "So about this J. Crew thing..." Her response: "I was there a couple days ago, but I'm in!!"
All I can say is Holy J.Crew!! This was not what I was expecting. Although, to be fair, I don't really know what I was expecting. It was rows and rows and rows and rows of boxes overflowing with clothes! People were carrying around giant trash bags. You know, those ones that you dig out in the fall to put all the leaves in from your yard? Yeah, those.
The second I walked in I began to feel a bit overwhelmed. Where do you start? What do you look for? Does that have a hole in it? Is that girl half naked in the middle of this old Borders Bookstore?!?! Ooooo that sparklesssss!
Want to add a bit more pressure to this experience? We had to HURRY because Michael was on his way to Richmond. My plan was to basically squeeze an entire warehouse experience into 30 minutes... tops. Which meant Caitlyn and I hit the turbo button and zoomed through many "boxen" of clothes. That is until I saw something that sparkled and we were forced to stop what we were doing and go examine the glittery apparel.
Imagine the clock ticking... you need a strategy and you need it fast! We hunted and gathered, then sorted! Caitlyn would hold the dresses up and I would literally leap into them! Here is a quick photo montage for you, courtesy of my iPhone!
Pretty sure that is a size "tiny" wedding dress that I just stuck my arms through and twirled around in for a minute or two!
No, bright colors aside, these are not 80s prom gowns.
My trash bag full of possible items...
The dress was cuter in the trash bag. And I loved the sweater... not gonna lie. It was heavy and funky and $20. It was the kind of sweater you can picture yourself wearing while sitting next to a nice fire with a glass of wine and a bowl of chili. Sadly it had a gaping hole in the right shoulder. Yes, I could have fixed it but for $20... it just wasn't worth it.
I made it through the hunting, gathering, sorting, and decision making phase of the event and then rushed into the first line. The calculation line. They used a check list, taped up my bag and sent me on my way to the check out line.
I walked away from this crazy shopping spree with a worn out looking, orange-ish baseball shirt, because let's be real, I will never get tired of baseball shirts. (And it was only $5.) I got a swimsuit for a whopping $6! And I purchased a sparkly gold sweater for just $15. Done and doneeee.

Line Control Is No Longer a Problem Using a PPH with Bookie Lines Control Features
As a bookie, one of the more difficult things to manage when taking bets is the movement of the line. Unless you have a real-time program, it is extremely difficult to keep track of where the daily action is going. If your phones stay steady when they are open for betting, there is little if any time to check with line services to see if the public lines are moving. So, as a local bookie, what can you do to stay on top of the lines to make sure you are offering your players the best line as well as protecting yourself against too much action at a given line?
If you would like to make your life easier, it is probably time to look into using a pay per head with lines control like www.7PPH.com. Using a service such as this will finally enable a smaller operation to monitor their lines better and get better control of their action. This is especially true for the local bookie that is just starting to grow their operation and seeing the control of it slip away.
Now, instead of trying to take bets and monitor the lines, you can merely sit back and manage the action as it rolls in. All of your players will now have access to their accounts online. This means you will no longer have to actually take their phone calls on betting days. It also means that you can now allow the lines to move with the money, move according to published lines, or actually move them yourself if you do not like the current line.
In most cases, PPH with lines control is not available at this price point. For $7 per head, you would normally get a nuts and bolts price per head that does little other than allow the players to place their bets. 7PPH.com has decided to scale back on other features, such as poker and live casino play, that are not vital to a local bookie operation. Instead, it focuses on giving the smaller operation everything it needs to stay competitive with bookies using other PPH services and the major online sportsbooks.
Since you are not taking the actual bets, it will give you more time to actually stay on top of things that will create the need to move your lines. As a bookie, you need to watch out for two major factors: pack betting and service picks. If ignored, either of these will result in massive amounts of wagers taking place, all on the same side and all at the same line.
Pack betting is extremely common when a bookie has a group of friends all using the same book to place wagers. They sit around on Friday night and come up with the big winner. When you notice this pattern, you may want to start moving your line after the first one or two of these guys place their wager. In addition, if your players are using sports services, they are all going to place a bet on the release. It may even be wise to subscribe to the same service so you know where their action is going and can take precautions against getting buried on one game.
Without having bookie lines control as a feature on your PPH, you are just wasting your money. Every book is different and only you really know the ebb and flow of your action. When the automated line moves are simply not enough to keep your book ahead of the game, you need to be able to access lines and make your own changes. Using a price per head like 7PPH will allow you to do just that!

AIX short for Advanced Interactive eXecutive was first entered into the market by IBM in February 1990. AIX is an implementation of Unix derived from both AT&T Unix System V and 4.3 BSD. AIX offers the Korn (ksh) shell, Bourne (sh) and C (csh) shells however defaults to the Korn shell. AIX primarily designed for medium to large scale servers and mainframes. However, it can also be used in workstations. It supports standard peripherals like Supports standard peripherals: PCI Slots, SCSI, PS/2 keyboard and mouse, Ethernet.
Levels Of AIX
The AIX system is functionally organized at three levels:
- The kernel, which schedules tasks and manages storage;
- The shell, which connects and interprets users' commands, calls programs from memory, and executes them; and
- The tools and applications that offer additional functionality to the operating system.
- The shell, which connects and interprets users' commands, calls programs from memory, and executes them; and
- The tools and applications that offer additional functionality to the operating system.
The Kernel
The heart of the operating system, the kernel controls the hardware and turns part of the system on and off at the programmer's command. If you ask the computer to list (ls) all the files in a directory, the kernel tells the computer to read all the files in that directory from the disk and display them on your screen. The kernel itself does not interact directly with the user, but rather interacts with the shell and other programs as well as with the hardware devices on the system, including the processor (also called the central processing unit or CPU), memory and disk drives. The kernel is the first part of the operating system to load into memory during booting (i.e., system startup), and it remains there for the entire duration of the computer session because its services are required continuously. Thus it is important for it to be as small as possible while still providing all the essential services needed by the other parts of the operating system and by the various application programs.
When a computer crashes, it actually means the kernel has crashed. If only a single program has crashed but the rest of the system remains in operation, then the kernel itself has not crashed. The kernel provides basic services for all other parts of the operating system, typically including memory management, process management, file management and I/O (input/output) management (i.e., accessing the peripheral devices). These services are requested by other parts of the operating system or by application programs through a specified set of program interfaces referred to as system calls.
Logical Volume Manager (LVM)
LVM is a disk management mechanism that is significantly different from traditional UNIX partitioning schemes. The LVM maps data between logical and physical storage, allowing data to be discontiguous, span multiple disks, flexible and dynamically expanded. One advantage is the ability to allocate additional space to a file system without the need to rebuild the disk. The LVM controls physical disk resources by providing a simplified logical view of the available storage space.
Volume Group, Filesystems and Logical Volumes
The logical storage structure that is the most common is called the volume group (VG). In AIX, storage allocation is performed at the volume group level. Data cannot span volume groups. When the AIX operating system is first installed, a volume group called rootvg is created. The rootvg contains the base operating system files for AIX.
Each individual disk drive is logically represented by a physical volume (PV). Each physical volume consists of a number of partitions called physical partitions (PP). The physical partitions are grouped into something called a logical volume that contains logical partitions. The logical volume, in turn, belongs to a volume group. Logical volumes contain the file systems (like the Journaling File System or JFS).
All of the logical volumes use JFS to store data. This file system uses database journaling techniques to maintain its structural consistency. This prevents damage to the file system when the system is halted abnormally. Other file systems that you might encounter on AIX may include JFS2, NFS (Network File System), and AFS (Andrew File System). The term file system is also used to describe the hierarchical structure (file tree) of files and directories.
The Shell
The shell is a command interpreter that allows an end user to type in commands to communicate to the AIX system. By default, when a user logins, a shell process is started. The default AIX shell is /usr/bin/ksh, which is the Korn Shell, unless and until specified while creating a user. Other available shells are:
- /bin/bsh the Bourne shell
- /bin/csh the C-shell
- /bin/sh the Standard shell
Using the System
Logging in and out
After bootup, the RS/6000 displays a login prompt on what looks like a character-based terminal, where you can enter your username and password to get into the system. Logging in to the RS/6000 follows the typical UNIX login process: The getty process provides the login screen. If a user enters an id at this getty login prompt, getty starts the login process to validate the user. AIX's login program checks not only /etc/passwd, which contains user names, but also a shadow password file, /etc/security/passwd, which contains the encrypted passwords of each of the users. login then starts a login shell as defined in /etc/passwd for the user, which by default is the KornShell (ksh). ksh then reads the user's .profile.
If you are in an X Window session, stopping it by choosing End Session on the Root Menu will usually log you out. However, if your system displays an ASCII screen with a command line prompt (usually a "$" prompt) after you stop X, then you have to take the additional step of closing the shell by typing either the exit command or the logout commands.
The date, cal, who and finger commands
The 'date' command displays or set the date or time for a particular system. If the command is run without any flag, it displays the current date and time to standard output.
The 'cal' command displays a calendar of the specified year or month.
The 'who' command displays information about all users currently on the local system. The information displayed when running the command is login name, tty, date and time of login. Typing who am i or who am I displays your login name, tty, date and time you logged in. If the user is logged in from a remote machine, then the host name of that machine is displayed as well.
The 'finger' command displays information about the users currently logged in to a host.
Sending and receiving mail
You can use the 'mail' program to create, send, reply, and forward messages to other users or to send ASCII files to other users. An ASCII file may, for example, be a document you have written using a preferred editor or a source file for a program. The mail program provides a line-oriented editor for creating messages. This editor enables you to enter each line of the message, press the Enter key to get a new line, and enter more text. When you create mail with the mail editor, the date: and from: fields are automatically completed by the system. You have the option to complete the subject: and cc: fields. These fields are similar to the body of a standard business letter. Other editors can only be used by using the editor subcommands. You can send messages and files to a user on your local system, on your network, or to a user on another connected network. The recipient does not need to be logged onto the system when you send the information. Mail is sent to a user's address. The address, containing the login name and system name, directs the delivery of the mail message.
The write and wall commands
The 'write' command opens a line of communication to send messages to other users on the system in real time.
The 'wall' command writes a message to all users that are logged in.
Talk with another user
The 'talk' command is used to converse with another user. It allows two users on the same host or on different hosts to have an interactive conversation.
The clear, echo and banner commands
The 'clear' command clears the terminal screen.
The 'echo' command writes character strings to standard output.
The 'banner' command writes ASCII character strings in large letters to standard output.
The wc command
The 'wc' command counts the number of lines, words, bytes, or characters in a file.
Files and directories
What is a File?
A file is a collection of letters, numbers and special characters: it may be a program, a database, a dissertation, a reading list, a simple letter etc. Sometimes you may import a file from elsewhere, for example from another computer. If you want to enter your own text or data, you will start by creating a file.
In AIX, each file system contains a superblock, inodes, and data blocks. Each file has an inode containing information such as file size and time of last modification. The inodes of small files also contain the addresses of all disk blocks that comprise the file data. A large file can use too many data blocks for an inode to directly address. In such a case, the inode points instead to one or more levels of indirect blocks that are deep enough to hold all of the data block addresses.
File system structure
A file system is a hierarchical structure (file tree) of files and directories. This type of structure resembles an inverted tree with the roots at the top and the branches at the bottom. This file tree uses directories to organize data and programs into groups, allowing the management of many directories and files at one time. The basic type of file system is called the Journaled File System (JFS). This file system uses database journaling techniques to maintain its structural consistency. This prevents damage to the file system when the system is halted abnormally.
Where am I?
In order to know which directory you are currently located in, you can run the command 'pwd' and it will display the full path where you are residing. The 'pwd' is the acronym for Present Working Directory.
Changing your current directory
The command used to change a directory from the existing one is 'cd'. It sets the current working directory of a process.
Creating and removing directories
The directories can be created using the command 'mkdir' and can be removed using the command 'rmdir'.
Listing directories
The command 'ls -ld' is used for listing the directories.
Long listing of files
The 'ls -l' command will give the long listing of the files.
The touch command
The 'touch' command updates the access and modification times of each file specified by the file parameter of each directory. If you specify a file that does not exist, the touch command creates the file.
File Permissions
The file permissions determine who can read and modify the information stored in your files. They are your primary method for protecting the data that you store on your system.
Changing Permissions using the Symbolic notation
To specify a mode in symbolic form, you must specify three sets of flags. The first set of flags specifies who is granted or denied the specified permissions, as: 'u' for File Owner, 'g' for Group pertaining to the file's group and 'o' for All Others.
The second set of flags specifies whether the permissions are to be removed, applied, or set: '-' Removes specified permissions, '+' Applies specified permissions, '=' Clears the selected permission field and sets it to the permission specified.
The third set of flags specifies the permissions that are to be removed, applied, or set: 'r' for Read Permission, 'w' for Write Permission, 'x' for Execute Permission.
Changing Permissions using the Octal notation
The chmod command also permits you to use octal notation for the mode. The numeric mode is the sum of one or more of the following values:
4000: Sets user ID on execution, 2000: Sets group ID on execution, 1000: Sets the link permission to directories or sets the save-text attribute for files, 0400: Permits read by owner, 0200: Permits write by owner, 0100: Permits execute or search by owner, 0040: Permits read by group, 0020: Permits write by group, 0010: Permits execute or search by group, 0004: Permits read by others, 0002: Permits write by others and finally 0001: Permits execute or search by others.
The vi Editior
Starting the vi Editor
The Visual Editor (vi) is a screen editor that comes with the AIX operating system. The vi program is used to create and edit text files. When you edit a file, vi makes a copy of the file to a memory buffer. This way, if any unwanted changes are made, the original file is not destroyed. When your work is completeed, you must remeber to save the buffer which contains your changes. The visual editor has two modes of operation: text input mode and command mode. The vi editor can be executed by issuing the command vi <filename>. When editing a file, vi places a tilde (~) as the first character of lines past the end of your file. These lines are not part of your file, and are for display purposes only.
Adding text
The text can be added into a file by opening the file and pressing the 'i' key on the keyboard for inserting the text. You can use the 'x' key to delete an alphabet and 'dd' to remove a line. After adding the text, press the 'Esc' key and save the file.
Exiting the Editor
You can exit the editor either by saving the text or without saving the text. After pressing the 'Esc' key, you need to press ':' followed by 'wq!' to save and exit or just 'q!' to exit without save.
Cursor Movement
There are over forty commands that can be used to move the cursor throughout the file. The basic keys used are 'up', 'down', 'right' and 'left' arrow keys on the keyboard to move the cursor to the required place.
Deleting text
In order to delete text, you need to take the cursor to the alphabet or word you want to delete and hit the 'x' key till the text is deleted. If you would like to delete the whole line, you can move to cursor to that line and press the key 'd' twice as 'dd'. This will delete the whole line.
Searching for text pattern
To search a pattern in the vi screen, you open the file and click on the '/' key. The '/' is entered at the bottom of your screen, where you can add the word to search and hit enter. You can hit the 'n' key to search for the same word elsewhere is the file.
Shell Basics
The Shell
The shell is a command interpreter that allows an end user to type in commands to communicate to the AIX system. By default, when a user logins, a shell process is started. The default AIX shell is /usr/bin/ksh.
Metacharacters and Wildcards
Wildcard characters provide a convenient way to specify multiple file names or directory names. The wildcard characters are asterisk (*) and question mark (?).Use the * to match any sequence or string of characters. The '*' means any characters, including no characters. For example, if you have the following files in your directory:
[0123456789]* or [0-9]*
Character Substitution in file names
The shell performs file name substitution by scanning each command word specified by the Word variable for certain characters. If a command word includes the *), ? or [ characters, and the -f flag has not been set, the shell regards the word as a pattern. The shell replaces the word with file names, sorted according to the collating sequence in effect in the current locale, that match that pattern. If the shell does not find a file name to match the pattern, it does not change the word.
Input and Output Redirection
The AIX operating system allows you to manipulate the input and output (I/O) of data to and from your system by using specific I/O commands and symbols. You can control input by specifying the location from which to gather data. For example, you can specify to read input while data is entered on the keyboard (standard input) or to read input from a file. You can control output by specifying where to display or store data. You can specify to write output data to the screen (standard output) or to write it to a file. Because AIX is a multitasking operating system, it is designed to handle processes in combination with each other. There are different ways this can be performed. Few of them are listed below.
a. Standard input, standard output, and standard error files
b. Standard output redirection
c. Redirecting output to a file
d. Redirecting output to append to a file
e. Standard input redirection
f. Discarding output with the /dev/null file
g. Standard error and other output redirection
Creating file with cat
Type the command
# cat > name_of_file
Then, type in the required text and press enter to start a new line. When finished typing, enter Ctrl-d. This stops the cat command and returns you to the system prompt.
Pipes and Filters
You can connect two or more commands so that the standard output of one command is used as the standard input of another command. A set of commands connected this way is known as a pipeline. The connection that joins the commands is known as a pipe. Pipes are useful because they let you tie many single-purpose commands into one powerful command. You can direct the output from one command to become the input for another command using a pipeline. The commands are connected by a pipe (|) symbol.
When a command takes its input from another command, modifies it, and sends its results to standard output, it is known as a filter. Filters can be used alone, but they are especially useful in pipelines. The most common filters are sort, more and pg.
What is a process?
The process is the entity that the operating system uses to control the use of system resources. AIX introduces the use of threads to control processor-time consumption, but most of the system management tools still require the administrator to refer to the process in which a thread is running, rather than to the thread itself.
Some processes run from system boot to shutdown, but most processes come and go rapidly, as tasks start and complete. At times, a process can die a premature, say, due to a crash of a system or application or a particular task.
Parent and Child Processes
Each new process is the spawn of an existing process. Further, each new process, called a "child" process, is a clone of its "parent" process, at least for an instant, until the child continues execution independently.
Monitoring and Terminating Processes
A process can be monitored using the command 'ps'. It gives the output with the ID associated to the process along with the time stamp and date when the process was started.
When a process terminates, by calling the exit subroutine either explicitly or implicitly, all threads within the process are terminated. Neither the cleanup handlers nor the thread-specific data destructors are called. The reason for this behavior is that there is no state to leave clean and no thread-specific storage to reclaim, because the whole process terminates, including all the threads, and all the process storage is reclaimed, including all thread-specific storage.
A daemon is defined to be a process that is intended to run "in the background" without a controlling terminal. That is, the life span of the daemon process does not depend on the life span of a terminal session, the daemon life span does not depend on any control key sequences generated from a terminal session, and a daemon does not interact with users through a terminal. A daemon can be started by the init process, the System Resource Controller, the inetd process, or a shell.
AIX Utilities
System Management Interface Tool
The AIX System Management Interface Tool (SMIT) provides an alternative to the typical method of using complex command syntax, valid parameter values, and custom shell path names for managing and maintaining your operating system configuration. SMIT offers the following features:
a. Two modes of operation
b. An interactive, menu-driven user interface
c. User assistance
d. System management activity logging
e. Fast paths to system management tasks
f. User-added SMIT screens
The find command
The find command recursively searches the directory tree for each specified Path parameter, seeking files that match a Boolean expression written using the terms given in the following text. When the find command is recursively descending directory structures, it will not descend into directories that are symbolically linked into the current hierarchy. The output from the find command depends on the terms specified by the Expression parameter.
The grep command
The grep command search for the pattern specified by the Pattern parameter and then writes each matching line to standard output. The grep command uses a compact non-deterministic algorithm. The grep command displays the name of the file containing the matched line if you specify more than one name in the File parameter. Characters with special meaning to the shell ($, *, [, |, ^, (, ), \ ) must be in quotation marks when they appear in the Pattern parameter. When the Pattern parameter is not a simple string, you usually must enclose the entire pattern in single quotation marks. In an expression such as [a-z], the - (minus sign) cml specifies a range, according to the current collating sequence. A collating sequence may define equivalence classes for use in character ranges.
The sort command
command concatenates the files and sorts them as one file. A - (minus sign) in place of a file name specifies standard input. If you do not specify any file names, the command sorts standard input. An output file can be specified with the -o flag. If no flags are specified, the sort command sorts entire lines of the input file based upon the collation order of the current locale.
The xargs command
The xargs command constructs parameter lists and runs commands. The xargs command limits the command line length.
The which and whereis commands
The which command takes a list of program names and looks for the files that run when these names are given as commands. The which command expands each argument, if it is aliased, and searches for it along the user's path.
The whereis command locates the source, binary, and manuals sections for specified files.
The file command
The file command reads the files specified by the File parameter or the FileList variable, performs a series of tests on each file, and attempts to classify them by type. The command then writes the file types to standard output. The file can be regular file, directory, FIFO(named pipe), block special, character special, symbolic link or sockets type.
Comparing files using diff and cmp
The diff command compares text files. It can compare single files or the contents of directories. The diff command only works with input files that are text files. If the Directory1 and Directory2 parameters are specified, the diff command compares the text files that have the same name in both directories. Binary files that differ, common subdirectories, and files that appear in only one directory are listed. When the diff command is run on regular files, and when comparing text files that differ during directory comparison, the diff command tells what lines must be changed in the files to make them agree. If neither the File1 nor File2 parameter is a directory, then either may be given as - (minus sign), in which case the standard input is used. If the File1 parameter is a directory, then a file in that directory whose file name is the same as the File2 parameter is used.
The cmp command compares files designated by the File1 and File2 parameters and writes the results to standard output. If you specify a - (minus sign) for either the File1
or File2 parameter, the cmp command reads standard input for that file. Only one file can be read from standard input. Under default conditions, the cmp command displays nothing if the files are the same. If they differ, the cmp command displays the byte and line number at which the first difference occurs.
AIX Documentation
The man command
The man command provides reference information on topics, such as commands, subroutines, and files. The man command provides one-line descriptions of commands specified by name. The man command also provides information on all commands whose descriptions contain a set of user-specified keywords. The man command formats a specified set of manual pages. If you specify a section for the Section parameter, the man command searches in that section of the manual pages for the title specified by the Title parameter. The value of the Section parameter can be either an Arabic number from 1 through 8 or a letter.

Up first? Brightly hued eye makeup. We're talking green and blue, sure … but it's going so much further than that this season. Think red, think orange, think yellow, think the entire color wheel and the entire rainbow! From Moschino Cheap and Chic and Vivienne Westwood Red Label to Miu Miu and Rebecca Taylor, eyes were the focus on the runways. This look definitely isn't for the faint of heart, but it is a ton of fun with only a couple sweeps of an eyeshadow brush.
To get the look, try these eyeshadows!
Maybelline Eye Studio Color Tattoo 24 Hour Eyeshadow
We especially love the bright purple, turquoise and orange shades of this creamy gel formula.
$6.99 each at drugstore.com
NYX Single Eyeshadow in Cherry
If you really want to make a statement, there's no bolder color than red. And why should this color be restricted to your lips and tips?
$5 at nyxcosmetics.com
M.A.C Electric Eel Eyeshadow
This super-bright turquoise is a cult favorite for a reason. The satin finish is unbelievably pigmented and makes your eyes the focal point of any room.

Futures rise after Summers leaves Fed chair race
US markets are set to soar at the open after the former Treasury Secretary withdrew his name from consideration for the top job at the Federal Reserve.
President Barack Obama's top choice to replace current Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke has dropped out of the race. Lawrence Summers withdrew his candidacy from the race Sunday after weeks of criticism for being too close to Wall Street and for being abrasive.
The news put Fed Vice Chairman Janet Yellen at the top of the list. Yellen is expected to be more cautious about tapering the Fed's stimulus program. U.S. Treasuries jumped on the news, with the 10 year Treasury yield falling to 2.08%, the lowest it has been since September 3.
Top news
In other news around the markets:
Just one week before the German national elections, Chancellor Angela Merkel and her coalition government suffered a setback. Early results of Bavarian state elections showed that Merkel's Christian Social Union party won 49% of the vote, but her junior coalition partner, the Free Democratic Party, is only expected to have garnered 3% of the votes.
The U.S. and Russia have agreed on a nine-month UN program to destroy the Syrian government's chemical weapons. Obama, who has been under fire about the decision, has defended the agreement, saying a diplomatic solution will have more of a lasting impact, but stressed that military force could still be necessary.
Germany has been working together with EU officials to move plans for a eurozone banking union forward. After insisting that the banking union's creation would require changing the eurozone's treaty, German officials are finding a way to shift the power to fix struggling banks from the national level and make it a responsibility of the region as a whole.
With the Federal Reserve meeting on the horizon, markets are bracing for the possibility the bank will cut back on its asset buying stimulus program. Although most are expecting the bank to taper $10 billion to $15 billion, the months of anticipation and guidance from the bank mean the impact on markets could be tame, without much volatility -- provided there are no surprises.
Asian markets
Asian markets were mostly higher on Monday. The South Korean KOSPI was up 0.96%, the Hang Seng index was up 1.47% and New Zealand's NZ50 was up 0.92%. The NIKKEI was up 0.12%, and the Shanghai composite lost 0.22%.
European markets
European markets were up across the board on Monday. The UK's FTSE was up 0.90%, and the STOXX 600 was up 0.81%. The German DAX gained 1.21%, and the Spanish IBEX was up 1.06%.
With easing tension in Syria, crude futures fell on Monday. Brent futures for November delivery were down 0.33%, and WTI futures for October delivery were down 0.28%. Gold and silver were up 0.83% and 0.81% respectively, and copper was up 0.58%.
The dollar lost 0.43% against the pound and the euro after reports that Lawrence Summers withdrew from the race to lead the Fed. The yen gained 0.53% against the dollar, and the rupee was up 1.24% against the greenback.
Premarket movers
Stocks moving in the premarket included:
Stratasys (SSYS) was down 4.80% in premarket trade after announcing that it has priced its public offering of 4,500,000 ordinary shares at $93.00 per share.
NXP Semiconductors (NXPI) was down 2.08% after announcing that certain principal stockholders have begun an offering of 25 million shares.
Zynga (ZNGA) gained 0.66% in premarket trade after announcing that it had settled a law suit over alleged theft of game secrets.
Sirius XM Radio (SIRI) gained 0.40% in premarket trade after announcing that the Wharton School of Business would be featured on a new business talk channel.
Avid Technology (AVID) is expected to report a loss of $0.01 per share, compared to last year's loss of $0.17 per share.
Farmer Brothers (FARM) is expected to report earnings per share of $0.18, compared to last year's loss of $0.06 per share.
Economic releases expected on Monday include U.S. industrial production, eurozone CPI, Italian and Norwegian trade balances. Also notable will be a speech by European Central Bank President Mario Draghi.

Being a teenager,
Isn't the easiest thing,
Struggles and defeat,
Surrounds our everyday life.
Eager we are,
To get out of this hell hole,
Thinking it'll all get better once we're out,
A relaxed mind,
An easy life,
Not aware we are,
Of the greater struggles ahead.
Then shall we know,
The glory of the teenage years.

Title from The Flight of Apollo by AVA. I had VERY bad writer's block.
We were pretty victorious. Sure, Beckett's still alive, but his right-hand man probably isn't. In fact, the mental scream means he's probably dying. I went to bed that morning feeling complacent.
Brendon POV
I stared at the sun, which was quickly coming up. I didn't have much time left before I burned up.
I was already feeling like I had died, so I had to blink a couple of times before realizing that yes, Beckett had come to save me and yes, he was barely on time.
Beckett undid the straightjacket and went with me inside. If he had been even five minutes later, we both would've died.
Patrick POV
The Dandies have gotten Dirty, but we left Brendon tied up. Unknown whether Brendon is dead.
I paused, thinking.
Very nearly lost Pete.

Kim Jae-joong is back on Twitter
Kim Jae-joong
JYJ's Kim Jae-joong has again entered the world of Twitter after deactivating to stop hackers posing as him.
On Sunday, Kim created a new account "bornfreeonekiss" and told fans he was back, just for them.
"There were so many of you who wanted me to start tweeting again," said Kim. "So to make you happy, I've come back. To mark my return I give you 'Sleeping JJ,'" Kim joked by uploading pictures of himself sleeping on a couch and basking in the sun.
Fans were ecstatic to hear the news and quick to follow the Hallyu idol singer. His band member Kim Jun-su also posted a quick "Yo" on Kim's update.
Up until Nov. 2, Kim had more than one million followers on Twitter and posted frequent updates and pictures. Then all of a sudden, citing hacking as the reason, he dropped the SNS handle.
Of late, Kim's been in the spotlight for his movie "Code Name: Jackal" and for finally coming to an agreement with former agency SM Entertainment which debuted Kim and his fellow JYJ members under the boy band TVXQ.

If you just bought yourself a shiny new Galaxy Note, you might wanna take it back to the store and demand a refund. Today, Samsung officially announced the Galaxy Note II. Not only has the screen sized been increased, but so has the processor and much more.
First things first. The Galaxy Note II sports a 5.5-inch HD Super AMOLED. That's .2-inches bigger than the first iteration. However, the resolution has dropped ever so slightly from 1280×800 to 1280×720, though we're confident you'll be none the wiser during actual use. That said, the screen technology has changed from Super AMOLED.
The more significant of the bumps in terms of specs seems to come in the way of the processor, which is now a 1.6 GHz quad-core as opposed to the Note's 1.4GHz dual-core. Complementing that is 2GB of RAM, a two fold improvement over last year's model and a 3,100mAh battery (a 600mAh increase). Lastly, Sammy has increased storage, offering 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB flavors, along with support for up to a 64GB microSD card. It would appear that the cameras will remain the same, with an 8-megapixel shooter at the rear, and a 1.9MP at the front.
And in case you were wondering, the S-Pen continues to work with the Note's proprietary premium suite of software. However, physically it has been made longer, thicker and more ergonomically shaped for preciser movements and a natural feel.
Available in Marble White or Titanium Gray color options, the Samsung GALAXY Note II is set to launch in October beginning in major European, Asian, and Middle East markets.

C.J. Miles hits 10 treys as Cavs pummel Sixers
Celevland, OH, United States (4E Sports) – C.J. Miles connected on 10 3-pointers to score 34 and lead the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 111-93 win over the Philadelphia 76ers Tuesday at Quicken Loans Arena.
Anderson Varejao added 18 points and 14 rebounds for the Cavs.
Miles connected five 3-pointers in the first quarter as the Cavs took a 36-20 lead.
His next three 3-pointers and Tyler Zeller's seven points in the second quarter fueled a 64-38 Cavs lead at halftime that allowed them to coast to an easy win.
Miles notched his record-breaking ninth 3 with 9:53 left and drained No. 10 with 9:17 remaining in going 10 of 14 beyond the arc.
Rookie Michael Carter-Williams scored 33 to lead the Sixers, whose perimeter defense was awful and has been a problem all season.

I have it all in a large flat rate box from USPS, so however much that is, I think its $15. Let me know if you're interested! The pants are size medium-short, and the belt is variable size.

Chad Thornton contributed 13 and Calvin Knowles added another 10 to the lopsided win. Joe Desroches led the Bucks with nine points. The win was an opening round victory in the Bob Abrahamson Tournament.
The Phantoms then squarred off against the Black River Presidents on Saturday in the championship game, and they picked up right where they left off on Friday. The Phantoms jumped out to a 20-3 lead in the first eight minutes and cruised from there to an easy 67-25 win. Robinson and Carter once again led the Phantoms attack. Robinson scored 23 points and hauled down 12 rebounds, while Robinson pumped in 15 for the victors. No Black River player scored more than six points.
In other boys opening night aaction last Friday in West Rutland Matt Belnap hit a 3-pointer from the top of the key with two seconds left to propel the Arlington Eagles past the Golden Horde 56-53. It was a disappointing loss for West Rutland who led by ten points at the half, only to see that lead vanish in the second half.
Joey Thorton led Westside with 18 points and Tyler Harte added 15 more.Belnap led the Eagles with 16 points, while Mick Sheldon added 15 and Logan Foster contributed 14 more to the opening night win.
Opening night was even worse for the Poultney Blue Devils who were blown out at home by the Green Mountain Chieftans 54-30. Ian Furer scored 15 points and Ian Carrie added 11 to lead the 1-0 Chieftains, while Derik Kerber paced the 0-1 Blue Devils with nine points.
Yellow Jackets sting Mounties in opener
Opening night didn't go as well for the Mount Saint Joseph Mounties girls basketball team, as they were soundly defeated in their season opener 72-18 last Saturday in Windsor by the hometown Yellow Jackets. Windsor turned their full court press on high and led 29-0 after the opening period. Morghan Farnsworth led Windsor with 16 points, while her teammate Hannah Wierzbicki contributed another11 and Stephanie Dumas added 10 more. Dominque Mercier (nine points) and Ali Shappy (six points) combined to score 15 of MSJ's 18 points.

UK Air Passenger Duty (APD) charges — the fees all passengers flying out of the UK must pay for their outbound flight — rose on 1 November, 2010.
What does this mean for travellers? The amount of duty charged per flight will rise, making the total cost per flight increase. Exactly how much will depend on the destination and seat class — costs are broken into four bands. A short-haul journey of less than 2000 miles (like Berlin or Paris) will see minimal changes: These routes increase by £1 to £11 per person in economy class, or by £2 to £24 in business and first.
Medium- and long-haul flights will be affected the most. For example, passengers flying to Egypt will be charged £60 APD (a £15 increase) in economy class. Those heading to Australia will pay £85 (£30 extra) in economy — an increase of over 50%.
Some bands are unusual — Hawaii is calculated like the US, so passengers flying to the Caribbean will pay more than those heading to Hawaii, roughly 3000 miles further away.
Premium economy class seats will be charged the same amount as business and first class.
For details on the charges, including a breakdown on the four bands and which countries fall into each, go to HM Revenue & Customs.

i play a paladin (all specs) and some of those glyphs are awesome!
divine storm and exorcism are gonna be great for ret in ulduar, specifically since blizz has said that we can use exorcism on ANY target in 3.1 (plz plz make it go live!)
beacon of light, hammer of righteous and divine plea glyphs are gonna rock as well!!!!
just wanna point out that DP was nerfed so us holy pallies woudnt use it on every cooldown... even with the nerf to the healing penalty.. this glyph is going to make us use DP more.. at least IMO... the only change ive seen to my healing post nerf is that my overhealing has gone down from 70% to 55%... which doesnt really bother me
JoeHelfrich said...
But I hate the removal of the interrupt from Exorcism. They were talking about giving the interrupt effect to Exorcism against all targets, even without the damage. With Hammer cooldown modifications being less accessible, Pallies are once again without a meaningful spell interrupt. At least the glyph was usable in Naxx.

Check it, so all my life I've wanted to be beautiful but since that never happened I've realized that being invisible feels so much better. I could get by unnoticed and think of things without people giving me another look. It's so fucking awesome, I feel like an element. Probably earth, since people walk all over me to get what they want and don't give a fuck about me
So this will be my own personal blog. Legitimately without any people knowing about it. 4 real this time

"It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them.

You see I managed to crash my computer and the IT guys at my school forgot about it after I came in with it (even though I went and asked for it every day…). Living without a proper computer for 3-4 weeks is truly agonizing and annoying.

The Cowboys will play the first pre-season game Sunday night against the Dolphins at the Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio. Among the inductees going on to the Hall is former Cowboys head coach Bill Parcells. Parcells was the Cowboys coach when Witten was a rookie and was as hard on Witten as he was on any player.
Witten has put together a Hall of Fame career and credits Parcells for making him the best player he could be. Witten says the fact he made it through that year turned him in to Parcell's "boy" and to this day Witten still contacts Parcells who he credits for making him the player he is today.

10 great low-tax places to retire
Picking a retirement location with low taxes gives you more cash to spend exploring the surrounding scenic beauty, taking in local nightlife or hoarding your hard-earned dough for future expenses. It can also help retirees on fixed incomes better cope with food, gas and utility costs.
Nashville, Tenn. boasts a low state and local tax burden for retirees. © Photodisc/SuperStock
Full-time work is often taxing. Retirement shouldn't be. Americans will spend more on taxes in 2008 than on food, clothing and housing combined, according to Tax Foundation President Scott Hodge. In 2008, Americans worked 74 days to pay their federal taxes and 39 days more to cover state and local levies, the Tax Foundation calculated.
There's not much you can do about the federal taxes if you want to live in the United States, but the state and local tax burden varies considerably. The most expensive state and local taxes are typically sales and excise taxes (14 days' pay), property taxes (12 days' pay) and income tax (10 days' pay).
To find low-tax places to retire, U.S. News & World Report cranked up its Best Places to Retire search tool. U.S. News sifted through more than 2,000 U.S. places to find locales that have relatively low taxes but also offer amenities important to retirees, such as a reasonable cost of living and fine recreational and cultural choices. Many of the low-tax retirement havens have no state sales tax, such as Billings, Mont., or no state income tax, such as Sioux Falls, S.D. There's nothing like zero tax to make your retirement dollar go further.
One low-tax retirement gem, Stafford, Texas, a suburb of Houston, eliminated its property tax in 1995. Texas is also one of seven states with no income tax. (The others are Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Washington and Wyoming.) Stafford also has the lowest sales tax in the Houston area.
Slide show: 10 great tax havens for retirees
Seniors looking to maximize their fixed income may also want to give Manchester, N.H., a look. There is no sales tax or traditional income tax, but New Hampshire does levy a 5% tax on interest and dividend income of more than $2,400 annually ($4,800 for couples). Residents ages 65 and older pay tax only on amounts of more than $3,600, and that's outside your retirement accounts. Withdrawals from retirement accounts are not taxed in New Hampshire.
Many retirement locales offer tax perks specifically for seniors. Nashville-Davidson County, Tenn., for example, was the first jurisdiction in the state to allow homeowners who are 65 or older and who earn less than a certain income level — $35,390 in 2007 — to freeze the amount of property tax due on their primary residence in the year they qualify, even if tax rates increase later. The frozen dollar amount will rise if the owner sells or makes improvements to the house. If the house drops in value and the current taxes become lower than the frozen amount, homeowners pay the lower amount. And like New Hampshire, Tennessee also doesn't tax earned income, just dividends and interest.
Read: How to find a low-tax place to retire
Low-tax towns don't have to be dull. Doral, Fla., is home to the Doral Golf Resort & Spa, which hosts a PGA tournament every year. And Henderson, Nev., Las Vegas' less glittery cousin, is only a short drive from the Strip, Hoover Dam and Lake Mead. Businesses often flock to tax-friendly cities. And thriving local economies are sure to help retirees find second careers and start small businesses. The business-friendly tax structure of Spokane, Wash., is key to attracting prime technology jobs to the area. After work, retirees can stroll along the Spokane River, which runs through the center of town, or hike in the nearby mountains.
Some cities, like Cheyenne, Wyo., try to slash their budgets rather than increase taxes. In October, Cheyenne Mayor Jack Spiker announced a hiring freeze on nonessential personnel, a reduction of out-of-town travel and a review of equipment expenditures. "Just like taxpayers, the city needs to tighten its financial belt during these times of economic uncertainty," he says. By leaving vacant positions open until the end of the year, the city estimates it will save $3,160 a month per entry-level employee and $5,050 a month for each vacant midlevel position.
Perhaps the most tax-friendly state for retirees is Alaska. The largest state in the union is the only one without any kind of income or sales tax. The city of Juneau levies a 5% sales tax, but people 65 and older who have lived in the city for at least 30 days and plan to remain indefinitely in the state can get a Senior Sales Tax Exemption Card for a $20 application fee. Those over 65 may also be eligible for a senior-citizen property tax exemption on the first $150,000 of assessed value. All Alaska residents with at least one year in the state also receive annual Alaska Permanent Fund dividends. The payout was an unusually high $3,269 in 2008, but even more typical dividends have been nothing to scoff at, ranging from $827 to $1,964 over the past two decades. This dividend may be taxed as income on federal tax returns.
Here are 10 great tax havens for retirees:
- Billings, Mont.
- Cheyenne, Wyo.
- Doral, Fla.
- Henderson, Nev.
- Juneau, Alaska
- Manchester, N.H.
- Nashville, Tenn.
- Sioux Falls, S.D.
- Spokane, Wash.
- Stafford, Texas

By Emily Brandon, U.S. News & World Report
Apart from the obvious financial aspect, other important considerations that the seniors should consider before making up their minds whether to buy or rent are: safety, security, proximity to local market place, the attitude and behavior of the younger in the immediate neighbourhood. Structural condition of the house is also an important parameter. Most of the elderly (In 21st century, I consider people in their 80+ to be old. As a matter of fact, there can be a big gap between chronological age and biological age.) like to have peace within and peace without. Proximity to children may not be a priority for many since it depends upon individual's temperament and how good is the relationship between the child and the parent. The matter is further complicated by the fact that nowadays working people are highly mobile.
Dr.Sachidanand Das,Ph.D.
You didn't mention The great little State of Delaware. Where the first $12,000 of your retirement income is not taxed, low low property taxes, no state sales tax on anything. We moved here to retire and are loving the low cost of everything including the wonderful beaches with tons of things to do and see. Mild MidAtlantic weather, lots of golf..the list goes on and on. We could not have found a better place to retire. Lovin' life at the beach!!

Word Press Blog - http://wendenaz.wordpress.com/ - Add your story and pictures !
Residents of Wenden, slammed by its second 100-year flood in 10 years.
"A 2-foot surge of runoff from a powerful winter storm early Friday morning flooded streets and an unknown number of homes in the western Arizona community of Wenden" AP.
Lt. Glenn Gilbert of the La Paz County Sheriff's Office says no one was reported missing or injured. An unknown number of people were evacuated from their homes. The flooding receded late Thursday, but returned several hours later when a surge of runoff came through a nearby wash. The flooding hadn't slackened by 8 a.m. Friday.
Residents were evacuated Thursday by tractor, boat or bus and taken to two shelters in nearby Salome. American Red Cross spokeswoman Tracey Kiest says about 100 people stayed at the shelters overnight Friday.
Yuma Marine Corps helicopters were flying over the area in case anyone had been swept away or stranded. An unknown number of people were evacuated from their homes in Wenden. Per a phone interview with Illene Wood, who lives 3 miles east of Wenden, the helicopters coming in from Yuma used their private airstrip to refuel during the flood surveillance and evacuations.
Scott Jones with the Wenden Fire Department said the Centennial Wash breached its banks and 3/4 of Wenden is underwater. www.BrokenCounty.com
WENDEN - With muddy water flowing right by their home, the Rohrig family secured their dogs Friday and prepared to leave, hoping their property would escape the flooding that submerged most of this tiny western Arizona community. http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/2010/01/23/20100123arizona-weather-flood0123.html
Centennial Wash is a large, normally dry wash which runs through Wenden, AZ. It has been known to collect such large amounts of rainfall that it overflows and causes flooding (as it did in 2000 in Wenden). Considering the severe flooding in Wenden today, we took a look at the flow rates recorded by a sensor in the wash at Wenden. Flow steadily increased from late afternoon through the night and peaked at about 9,938 cubic feet per second at 4:08am this morning. This compares with a peak flow of about 11,883 cubic feet per second in the storms of October, 2000, although as a KLPZ listener points out this does nott mean that the total volume was greater in 2000, since it could have flowed for longer. http://www.parkerliveonline.com/
Centennial Wash swallows near-by farm..
Jack Kurtz/The Arizona Republic - A pickup-truck driver comes to the end of the road submerged in floodwater Friday near Salome.
October 2000 Flood
- Current reports indicate that the 2010 flood is not quite as bad as the flood of 2000.
- On 22 October 2000, an MCAS Yuma, Ariz., SAR unit accomplished a station record-breaking 11 technical rescues during a flash flood in Wenden, Ariz. A technical rescue entails lowering medical technicians out of an aircraft to reach a victim as opposed to landing and picking up the victim.
- The Wenden-Salome area sustained $12 million in damage in late October 2000 when heavy rains sent floodwaters raging through the streets twice within a five-day period. Approximately 100 homes were damaged or destroyed in the flood.

They have zero sugar, zero carb, and caffeine levels of a cup of coffee.....
Red Bull for sure!
If you want a natural energy booster, that also helps your immune system, you should try Astragalus or "Buckay" in Chinese. It comes in either herb form where you boil it or in a pill bottle. I've been drinking it throughout my years growing up and it helps a lot! My mom was super tired and fatigued from work but she drank it for a couple days or so and now she feels much better!
