So I'm looking for ways to optimize my site for user and search engine purposes. I've read several articles and looked at several different plugins. To say the least, I'm thoroughly confused as what are the best practices for managing internal and external links. Here is a list of some of my questions:
- Which internal links should be set to "nofollow"?
- Which external links should be set to "nofollow"?
- To what degree does actively managing links contribute to your PR?
- Should you use "nofollow" blindly on all links in comments?
- If a link to an external site is broken (404 or whatever), should you "nofollow" that link? What about "noindex"?
As you can see, lots of questions. I'm hoping that you experienced webmasters can give a newb some best-practice advice.

I can not get into the College of Winterhold in Skyrim. I know I am supposed to talk to Faralda, but she is nowhere to be found. I accidentally attacked a guard in Winterhold and now she is gone. I can not continue with the Dawnguard quests without getting in there.
She may have gotten herself lost during the commotion. Settle your bounty and wait a day or two away from Winterhold, then come back during business hours (just to be safe). If that doesn't help, follow Halfwarr's advice.
The only option you can do because you are on the Xbox360 and do not have access to the console:
If you have an outstanding bounty, you can skip Faralda straight and go into College of Winterhole... (it's one of the bugs)
There's nothing to say you have ho go into the college to continue with Dawnguard; you can find out the location of the moth priest by asking inn keepers or carriage drivers.
Or, if it's the Elder scroll you're after, you can by-pass the college and go straight to Septimus Signus' outpost.

What are good free and widely used tools for editing 2D sprite-based game levels? I'm looking for one that allows exporting data to a custom format. One that I know of is Blender — a 3D tool, primarily, but can be used for 2D art as well — which also supports Python scripts for exporting data.
Gleed 2D is the most popular tool. It has recently been rewritten and can be found on GitHub.
The output of the tool is a simple XML file. If you're using XNA, there's a small component that'll turn the XML into an object graph. There's versions for Windows, XBox, and Windows Phone.
The new version contains lighting and behaviours:
It's been a while since the last update, but there's Gleed2D. I've used it before and it's pretty straightforward. Basically set up your layers, drag and drop sprites into the stage, and transform them into the correct place. Then export to XML and read on your game.
The best ones I know of are Mappy and TIDE. Both export in open formats, and TIDE while not as well-known also exports in its own XML format and supports Mappy FMP, and Flixel's file format, so you can move back to Mappy or easily port to Flash.
Take a look at Tiled.

STEUBENVILLE - Miracles happen at the Tony Teramana Cancer Center - and not just the medical kind, though those happen with astounding frequency.
On the administrative side, the Tony Teramana Cancer Center is the only place you'll find UPMC medical oncologists working in the same building with Allegheny Health System radiation oncologists.
The unique arrangement has UPMC's Dr. Pervaiz Rahman and Dr. Dennis Meisner working right next to AGH radiation oncologists Dr. Mark Trombetta and Dr. John Hyland to the benefit of thousands of cancer patients every year.

PITTSBURGH'S DOCS IN STEUBENVILLE — At the Tony Teramana Cancer Center in Steubenville, residents will find UPMC medical oncologists working in the same building with Allegheny Health System radiation oncologists.
-- Linda Harris
"This is probably the only place where we're in the same building," Hyland said. "It's been a really nice arrangement. I certainly appreciate the doctors being here, they're very good with patients and what we do. It's nice to have them right next door. If I have a question about a patient I can get an answer in 30 seconds - I just walk over and talk to them. It's a big plus."
Teramana Cancer Center, part of Trinity Health System, was established 13 years ago to address the high incidence of cancer in the area and provide a community-based treatment option. Overwhelmed by the sheer number of patients requiring radiation or chemotherapy treatments - more than 8,500 to date - the hospital commenced a nearly $9 million expansion effort that doubled the size of its treatment space in 2010.
Hyland said there's no disputing the need: Jefferson County leads the state in cancer, and the numbers are just as high throughout other parts of the Upper Ohio Valley. Teramana Cancer Center's patient base is regional.
"It's an older population, and the older you are the more likely you are to get cancer," he said. "And the other thing is the prevalence of smoking in the area. There are more smokers here than in most of the country, that's certainly contributing to the problem."
He said Teramana Cancer Center is equipped to deal with most patient needs, "and if it's something we're not set up to do, it's a simple matter to get people taken care of (in Pittsburgh). But the majority of stuff we can do here, just as well as they can do it in Pittsburgh."
In some ways the UPMC-AGH arrangement parallels Trinity's own story, which began decades ago with the unification of longtime rivals St. John Medical Center and Ohio Valley Hospital into one organization.
Trombetta, in private practice locally at the time, said it quickly became apparent to the powers that be that they needed to show the community all it stood to gain medically by pooling resources and opportunities.
"They had to have a product of sorts that would show the community what we did was valuable," he said. "The hospital system has done a lot of good things here, but the cancer center has to be one of the most successful."
Rahman sees it as the ultimate collaboration.
"A lot of cancer centers say they are comprehensive cancer centers, but they're not," he said. "We are - we provide medical oncology treatments, we provide radiation oncology treatments. We have clinical trials through some of the major consortiums in the U.S. We have patient advocacy, we provide emotional care, we provide financial support. We asked our patients, 'How can we help you more' and they told us they needed help with groceries, so now we have a dietary initiative. We're helping about 35 families meet their dietary needs, month after month."
To make all that happen requires community involvement, he added. The dietary support, for instance, is funded strictly through community donations. Likewise, community support also makes the gas cards, food cards and financial assistance possible.
"This center is a great example of doctors coming together for one reason, for the service of our patients," Rahman added. "We just don't give (medical treatment), we provide all the other support that goes with it - the 24-hour services, the nutritional support, the gas cards and food cards. And we give them hope."
He said most non-patients don't realize that when the cancer center's medical staff leaves for the night, patients with questions or concerns need only call their office and they'll be connected to a University of Pittsburgh medical oncologist who can assist them, no matter the hour.
Likewise, they also have an early morning walk-in service for patients who need immediate attention so they can get the care they need without having to go to the emergency department.
"It's not just about (treating) the patients," Rahman added. "It's about talking to them, counseling them and allaying their anxiety. If a patient
comes to you and says they have colon cancer, they're putting their life in your hands - that's where the relationship starts. There's a responsibility that goes with that. These are very desperate people looking into your eyes and saying, 'Yes, I think I trust you to save my life.'"
Meisner describes what they're doing at Teramana Cancer Center as the ultimate collaboration, allowing the four of them to bounce ideas off each other and work collaboratively on a daily basis.
"We work as a team," he said, pointing out patients can't always travel to Pittsburgh, Cleveland or Columbus for treatments, "so we work with them here. But if they do have a complex cancer that requires intensive treatment ... we can reach out to doctors in different places and make it work for them.
"It's all about our patients, what we do here," Meisner added, crediting Trinity for creating a supportive environment. "Some hospitals just focus on profits, but at Trinity, we have an oncology navigator, a nurse specialist, who solves un-solvable problems - people who have no insurance, or who don't have transportation to their treatments. She does fundraisers, gets them gas cards. The hospital pays her salary, and she's a wonderful liaison for us."
Rahman said the kudos extend to their nursing staff, which patients have described as "angels without wings."
"They're outstanding," he said. "I have a patient I treated 10 years ago, he needed chemotherapy. He could have had his port taken out but he wouldn't do it - he wants to come and talk to the nurses once a month. It's almost like his (security blanket), he wants to come and get hugged every month."
Trombetta said the community, too, deserves its share of the credit.
"I remember back when they were raising money for the second renovation a few years ago, there'd been so much growth we were bursting at the seams," he said. "Bob D'Anniballe was the chief fundraiser, and I remember him telling me it was the easiest money he ever raised. The people in this community saw a need and they have big hearts, and they opened up their hearts."
Trinity, sponsored by the Sisters of St. Francis of Sylvania, Ohio, and part of Sylvania Franciscan Health system, "puts a lot of focus on spiritual care," he adds.
"When I say spiritual, I'm not talking Oprah Winfrey spiritual," he adds. "I'm talking about faith in God, the 'G' word that's not used all the time. Here it's welcomed, it's encouraged. If we think we can do anything without God, we're fooling ourselves."
And he says that when the focus is on patients and their care, "it all works. It doesn't make a difference who you work for, just if you do the right thing."
Rahman, too, sees that what happens at Teramana Cancer Center on a daily basis as a "beacon of light" for their two, often-times combative employers.
"This is how it should be," Rahman said. "It should not be about 'them and us,' it should be about us doing for our patients."

Guest blog: Trevor Francis
- 02 May 2013 09:16
- Posted by @dclayton_MCFC
He was Britain's first million pound player and though he only played for City for one season, he left a lasting impression...
My move to City didn't happen overnight, it seemed to go on for quite a while and I actually started the 1981/82 season as a Forest player.
I know the fans were 100% against me leaving and I probably didn't help matters by scoring twice against Southampton in the opening Forest game, compounding the situation for the management team who wanted me to move on.
I was aware of City's interest and knew they'd obviously just come off the back of losing the FA Cup final against Spurs.
There had been a windfall of money as a result and City had the funds to make the transfer happen and there was clearly a desire to strengthen what was already a good side so I could only see things getting better and better.
I was very surprised by the number of City supporters who had travelled to Stoke to watch my debut – 12,000 I'm told - and to this day, whenever I cover City matches in my capacity as commentator for Sky Sports, I always bump into someone who happened to be at that game – it seems that every Man City fan was at that game and that's all people ever want to talk about.
As an example, one of my great passions in life is music and I was in London near Marylebone when I bumped into Noel Gallagher who I'd never met before – all I wanted to talk about was music and his career but all he wanted to do was talk about my City debut at Stoke! I was quite chuffed in all honesty!
I was only at Maine Road for a short period – much shorter than I would have liked – but I look back on that period with great affection.
As surprised as I was to have left Forest, I was equally surprised to leave City after just one year, too – or a bit less than that, even.
I'd set off for the World Cup in 1982 with England and wasn't aware that I was being watched by Sampdoria. I went on holiday after we'd gone out of the competition and had no idea what was happening behind the scenes or that I was about to be invited to Italy for a possible transfer which eventually went through.
I was really happy at City because the club had such fantastic supporters who I loved playing front of. I didn't have an injury free season and missed a lot of games, but I think my record of 14 goals in 29 games stands up pretty well and like to think I was good value during my time there.
...Trevor Francis...
In my capacity working for Sky, I always have a pass that allows me to go into the tunnel if I want to. Because I'm a former player and manager, I don't particularly relish doing that and rarely take up the opportunity – but at City I always do.
It gives me a chance to chat with one or two people and also means I can pop in and see David Platt and Roberto Mancini before the match.
On my last visit, Mike Summerbee was showing a few guests around and one of the lads who was with him wanted to shake my hand and have his picture taken with me. The first thing he mentioned was my debut at Stoke and the second was the goal against Wolves which put us top of the table in late December 1982!
It's nice that I made such an impression during my time, even, as I say, it was briefer than I would have liked.
I always received a good reception when I returned to City and had mixed fortunes as a manager but I always look forward to my trips to the Etihad Stadium and to going back to a club I only have good memories of.

While plans are in the works to give downtown Bowling Green a facelift, a new plan unveiled Monday focuses on giving the district more face-time.
A group of local business owners have formed the Downtown Merchants Association. The DMA will focus on advertising and marketing downtown businesses.
You'll soon be seeing billboards and brochures luring visitors to the downtown area. Currently, the new group is comprised of 35 businesses. Organizers anticipate the number of members to grow.
The DMA will work closely with the Downtown Redevelopment Authority. The authority has been instrumental in securing thousands in Renaissance Grants and recently announced a $5 million loan agreement with local banks.

I am trying to gather all the information I can about the Salem Witch Trials in the hopes of writing a story, but sadly, sources are scarce. That is why I am calling upon the help of the site so that all these tiny bits of information can be brought together into one source that the whole site can use.
But I do have a few questions specific to my own story.
Was Reverand Parris' wife alive at the time of the Salem Witch Trials?
At what point in the trials did Parris take his children away from Salem to Boston?
I have read that Samuel and Elizabeth Parris had two other children besides Betty; what is known about them?


text: As I said on the thread below: I going to cheat... I have been asked to be part of several of the panels at Swancon in Perth, Australia. So I thought I get some ideas from some of you readers out there... Panel 2: Writers' Workshops: do they work? I'm in an odd position here. I have only attended a single "workshop", if it could be called that, given by a published fantasy writer. She gave a competent talk - the workshop was not designed to look at any of the participants work - but I can't say I learned a thing, other than that one should not indent after text breaks... Everything she said I already knew. On the other hand, I can't help feeling that there is an awful lot of things I learned the hard way, that I could have learned much quicker by attending a workshop early in my career. And now I am actually giving a "workshop" in Perth on 13th March...and in a short 3 hours, I am going to try to impart a few of those "secrets" to help the participants become published novelists. So, what do you people think? Do Writers' Workshops work? (Especially ones that don't actually look at participants' work????)

Twelve-year-old Crispin has lived on the streets since he was nine — with only his wits and his daring to sustain him, and only his silent dog, Harley, to call his friend. He is always on the move, never lingering in any one place long enough to risk being discovered. Still, there are certain places he returns to. In the midst of the tumultuous city, they are havens of solitude: like the hushed environs of St. Mary Salome Cemetery, a place where Crispin can feel at peace — safe, at least for a while, from the fearsome memories that plague him... and seep into his darkest nightmares. But not only his dreams are haunted.
The city he roams with Harley has secrets and mysteries, things unexplainable and maybe unimaginable. Crispin has seen ghosts in the dead of night and sensed dimensions beyond reason in broad daylight. Hints of things disturbing and strange nibble at the edges of his existence, even as dangers wholly natural and earthbound cast their shadows across his path. Alone, drifting, and scavenging to survive is no life for a boy. But the life Crispin has left behind, and is still running scared from, is an unspeakable alternative... that may yet catch up with him.
©2012 Dean Koontz (P)2012 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
I focus on fiction, sci-fi, fantasy, science, history, politics and read a lot. I try to review everything I read.
This is a somewhat short Koontz novel and it lacks the twists and surprises of most Koontz. The development of the two main characters and dog are quite good, but there is not much development of the minor characters and virtually none for the key antagonist (very unusual for Koontz). The story setup and protagonist character motivation was interesting, but everything happens so fast it did not get the satisfaction I almost always get from Koontz. If you really like Koontz this definitely worth the time, just don't expect the full Koontz experience. The narration was slightly monotonous and seemed to be in a scary story around the campfire tone, which was not bad, but did not add much.
I like memoirs and zombies; funny and scary stories... I smell a book!
"whoa! That was short!"
Definitely left me wanting more but still wrapped up the story. Very interesting and as someone described it as "Koontz-lite".
A bit shocked and wanted a sequel or for it to continue!
Performance was good. Liked... nothing I could pinpoint of disliking!
Yes! I feel they could expand on the story... it's never over till the fat lady sings right?
Enjoyed :)
I really enjoy a good 'Mystery/Thriller' but the narrator can cause me, at times, to not listen to what might have been a really good story.
"Okay :("
This story was very similar to a John Saul novel I recently listened to. This one was okay but somewhat predictable and not a 'suspense' novel. In my opinion, not one of Dean Koontz's best by any means. I was a little disappointed by this one.
Missouri Veteran
"An excellent Koontz narrative"
If you like Odd Thomas and the numerous other characters created by Dean Koontz (who feels like an old friend to me at this point), then you'll love this book. The character is a modern Oliver Twist, and his partner a modern-day Mary Poppins (sort of). The characterizations in the book are done in Koontz's masterful style, and the story keeps moving forward. I really enjoyed the way the book was read too.
The World According to JimG944
"Thought 77 Shadow Street was Suspenseful? Try this"
I rate Moonlit Mind: A Tale of Suspense by Dean Koontz 5 of 5 stars. This short story is based on the novel 77 Shadow Street showing a different view of the events in that book. This story was short, strange (in a good way) and quickly built into a real suspense story. If you have read 77 Shadow Street then I can recommend this short story.
"A little disappointing"
It's so unusual for me to give a Koontz novel anything but 5 stars, but I was a little disappointed with this one. It's so SHORT. Riveting story line that draws you in immediately, as is typical with Koontz. But, I'm used to much longer, more involved stories. I didn't realize how short it was when I downloaded it. After 3 hours and 45 minutes, I feel like I'm just settling in to a story and all of a sudden, it was over. I felt like it ended somewhat abruptly. There were ends that were not tied up. This one could've easily been twice as long and it would've still been a great story.
"Short and Uninteresting"
I would have made this book longer, i would have put a twist or something in the book it felt morwe like a short story. Very disappointed in Dean Koontz it seemed like i was waiting for something that never came. VERY SAD AND DISAPPOINTED
Longer, more twists and turns and maybe a few more characters
The m other of the wifes new husband. They did not explain why they couldnt see through water or statues
"Love the story and the performance. Excellent"
My first Koontz book and I will get more. I enjoyed it from start to finish. I loved the strength of the young boy his dogs, and the one friend he makes. I would recommend this to my friends who do a lot of reading. The performance by Peter Berkrot was super. I can see a sequel in the works.
The Moonlit Mind is another great book by Koontz. With a boy, a dog and flight from evil 'parents'. This is a good one, as they all are.
"Just okay in my opinion"
Now let me preface this review by saying that I am a hardcore Koontz fan. I've read so many of his books, both old and new, over the years that I have lost count and I frequently try and persuade others to do the same.
I am not the most eloquent writer and I can't quite put my finger on what exactly my problem was with this book but I can try and explain the feeling it gave off to the best of my ability. First, it felt like the plot lacked the finesse and scary suspense that his books usually have. It seemed almost like this was one of his earlier works and it was written before he had established a style for himself as a writer. On top of that, it also felt like maybe that he wrote this because he had to as he had a deadline to meet and no other works to present. It felt like he was bored writing this almost whereas in his other books his excitement for the storyline is almost palpable in his writing.
Obviously this is just my opinion but overall because of those reasons I found the book to be just okay. I finished it is one sitting as it is short (I'm having a hard time believing this was unabridged.) compared to some of his work.
loved it, story was great and chilling, could not turn it off, my fav author

Ext.grid.column.Action items inconsistency
Please provide a better implementation for the action items of the Ext.grid.column.Action. The current implementation creates IMG elements based on an undefined component spec.

My quesion is: What set theory are the mathematicians who are developing the theory of these numbers working in-or are they, in fact, working outside any of the standard set theories?. Each surreal number is a mapping of an ordinal number into the pair (+,-) so that the collection S of all these numbers is a proper class. Moreover S is a real closed (ordered) field containing sub-collections which are ordinally similar to the class of ordinal numbers and to the set of real numbers (in their usual order). Since S is densely ordered but not order-complete, there exists an order-complete ordered collection C (constructed from the Dedekind cuts of S), which contains a dense sub-collection that is ordinally similar to S. Now the elements of C are proper classes and if we are going to have theorems about sub-collections of C (such as closed intervals), then the underlying set theory (if any) must be one that allows some proper classes to be elements of collections.
As you said, each surreal number can be regarded as a set, but the collection of all of them is a proper class. The set-theoretic issues involved in "developing the theory of these numbers" are the same as those involved in developing the theory of sets. For most purposes, ZFC suffices, since particular proper classes can be handled as "virtual classes" (essentially, formulas with set parameters). If one really needs to quantify over proper classes (whether of sets or of surreal numbers), then a set-class theory like Morse-Kelley becomes appropriate. If even higher types are needed, then I would be inclined to drop this one-step-at-a-time approach and instead assume that there is an inaccessible cardinal $\kappa$ and that Conway was really working in the universe of sets of rank $<\kappa$.
Note that difficulties with proper classes had to be faced in the foundations of category theory, and several approaches have been developed, including Grothendieck's universes and Feferman's approach based on the reflection principle of ZFC. As far as I can see, these approaches can be adapted to deal with the analogous problems that arise in connection with surreal numbers.
Philip Ehrlich at Ohio University has written extensively on Conway's surreal numbers, and somewhere in his work he has the details for formalizing the theory of surreal numbers in NBG set theory. This should qualify as a "standard" set theory despite its use of classes as it's a conservative extension of ZFC, as mentioned above. His forthcoming paper for the Bulletin of Symbolic logic gives his paper
Absolutely saturated models. Fund. Math. 133 (1989), no. 1, 39–46.
as a reference for this formalization.
Why on Earth do you feel the need to coerce Conway's system into some form of Set Theory?
Please go and read the Appendix to Part Zero of On Numbers and Games, which is a manifesto for the Mathematician's Lib Movement.
Conway's games are already formulated in much the same way as set theories are, the only difference being that they have left- and right-handed members.
Why do you think that an official one-handed set theory is any more suitable as a foundation than Conway's system free-standing?
Anyway, if you have coerced it into your preferred set theory, it becomes useless for anybody else's. For example, Mike Shulman recently solved the problem of eliminating the double negations from every level, as part of the presentation of Conway Numbers in Homotopy Type Theory (in the final chapter of the book).
Garabed, I believe the class of surreals can be encoded by a class formula in ZFC.
Surreal numbers are particular kinds of Conway games, and each Conway game can be expressed as a well-founded rooted tree of bounded (i.e., non-class) size equipped with a labeling of the edges by symbols $L$ and $R$. (The nodes are positions in the game, with the root at initial position, and an edge from a node to a child is labeled $L$ or $R$ according to whether the child is a left or right option of the node.) So the full structure of a Conway game is fully specified by a set, and the class of Conway games can be given by a ZFC class formula. The relation $\lt$ on games, and the predicate that says a game is a number, are recursive and can be given by formulas in ZFC. Similarly, the equality predicate on numbers is recursive and given by a ZFC formula.
I don't have On Numbers and Games immediately to hand, but my memory is that Conway discusses these issues.

Reporter's Notebook: Problems, concerns, and dysfunction in New Mexico come across a reporter's desk every day. We often make decisions about how to cover these stories with initially very little information.
When the story about Tierra Blanca Ranch hit my desk, all I knew at the time was that a teenaged boy, Bruce, had died in a truck rollover on the ranch land. My News Director asked that I look into Tierra Blanca Ranch to see if there is anything more to the story…and I'm so glad I listened.
Within hours of taking the assignment, I had built case files with hundreds of pages of documents of allegations in police reports and state documents that showed a pattern of complaints alleging rampant abuse at Tierra Blanca Ranch. At least a dozen boys interviewed at different times by different investigators said they were forced into child slavery by tending the 30,000 acre ranch owned by Scott Chandler. They told stories of working outside for up to 15 hours a day in grueling conditions, sometimes in extreme temperatures. They said they were punished by excessive exercises, food deprivation, threats of castration, and brutal beatings. In a police report, one teen described being forced by a staff member to put rocks and sand in a sock and beat his friend. The boys also described what they called a "firewall." When a teen is "firewalled," he's not allowed to talk to other people or be spoken to, which as you can imagine creates a very lonely existence.
It's important that we question why a man who admits he and his staff have no professional training to work with at-risk kids is taking in dozens of teens with serious behavioral health issues. It's also important that we question what our state agencies have done about these allegations.
The story of Tierra Blanca Ranch represents why investigative journalism is so important. This story gives a voice to teens who once thought nobody would listen to them. Investigative journalism allows us to expose wrongdoing and hold those who we entrust with protecting our children accountable.
I know there are parents and perhaps former or current teens who will contact me and profess Tierra Blanca Ranch sincerely helped them through troubled times. These same people may chastise me for aggressively getting answers about what's going on here. Let me be clear about something. When children claim they were abused while in the care of someone else, I will ask every question necessary to understand the full scope of the truth. To ignore something like that not only goes against the ethics I hold as a journalist, but goes against every part of my soul.
The pressure is on the New Mexico State Police and the NM Children's Youth and Families Department to carefully investigate these claims and take appropriate action based on what they find. The 4 On Your Side team will be carefully watching each step these state agencies make in the days and weeks to come and we'll report back to you—our viewer.

Compiling using Virtual Directory
This may be an incredibly stupid question, but it is possible to compile an app using an extjs library housed in a virtual directory? I have a virtual directory in my app which includes the library I want (currently 4.1.2a).
During development, this setup works just fine. All of the dependencies for my app files are found in the framework, and everything moves along without issues. However, when I compile, I get errors about dependency resolution - e.g., "Failed to resolve dependency Ext.container.Viewport for file..."
Is this possible to do, and if so, what am I missing?
NOTE: I haven't modified either of the .cfg files, and my compile looks like this:
sencha compile -classpath=ext\src,app page -in=index.html -out=build/index.html
I should also mention that:
* When I specify the full path to ext/src in classpath, the compile succeeds, but excludes any app classes
* When I put the library in my application root (no virtual directory), the compile succeeds and resolves all dependencies as expected
I appreciate any help anyone can offer. Thanks!

It has a hard-coded reference to ext at the following location: src="../../../ext/ext-all.js".
Also the config.rb for the sass file is looking in the same place.

The path to the framework we etch in to the SASS world is computed at theme generation time... so it may work to generate a new theme after changing the configuration of your workspace.Don Griffin

Generating the theme after the config change partially works. If you browse the "theme.html" file via the file system, all of the assets will be loaded correctly. However, if you try to access it via a hostname (e.g., dev.somesenchasite.com), your assets may fail to load, depending on where they exist in relation to your site's root.
What I did to get around this is kind of a kludge, but it seems to work. In my theme's config.rb, I changed the $ext_path to the absolute file path for the ExtJS library I want to use. And in theme.html, I set the ext-all.js to a faux-site (dev.senchaassets.com) I setup to allow access to the ExtJS library. This allows me to view the theme.html file via the hostname, but still correctly slices images when compiling SASS during the build process. Sadly, a virtual directory path in theme.html doesn't work when building, even though it works when browsing via the hostname.
While these changes represent a bit more work re: modifying configuration files on a per-app basis, at least it allows me to still maintain an abstract relationship between the library, global assets, and my sites.
If anyone has thoughts on how to better accomplish this, I'd love to hear your ideas.

Fr. Andrew M. Greeley, R.I.P.
Sad news today: Fr. Andrew Greeley, titan of the U.S. Catholic Church, has died, five years after he fell in a terrible accident that caused major brain trauma. He was eighty-five.
His family released the following statement:
Our lives have been tremendously enriched by having the presence of Fr. Andrew Greeley in our family. First and foremost as a loving uncle who was always there for us with unfailing support or with a gentle nudge, who shared with us both the little things and the big moments of family life.
But we were specially graced that this man was also an amazing priest who recently celebrated the 59th anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood. He served the Church all those years with a prophetic voice and with unfailing dedication, and the Church he and our parents taught us to love is a better place because of him. Our hearts are heavy with grief, but we find hope in the promise of Heaven that our uncle spent his life proclaiming to us, his friends, his parishioners and his many fans. He resides now with the Lord of the Dance, and that dance will go on.
The Chicago Trbune obituary recalls a quote he gave the paper in 1992 that nicely captures the man he was:
"I'm a priest, pure and simple," Greeley told the Tribune in 1992. "The other things I do — sociological research, my newspaper columns, the novels I write — are just my way of being a priest. I decided I wanted to be one when I was a kid growing up on the West Side. I've never wavered or wanted to be anything but."
Requiescat in pace.
I'll be updating this post with links to Greeley's Commonweal aritcles, after the jump, so check back often.
His final Commonweal article was published days before his tragic accident in November 2008: "Signs of Life: A Sociologist Looks Ahead."
Here's his review of David Gibson's book, The Rule of Benedict: "The Puzzling Pope."
Here he asks, "Can Catholics Think for Themselves?"

"Precious in the eyes of the Lord are the death of saints. " Greely was basically liberal while he did not satisfy the extremes of the Left and Right. What I like about him was that he was not afraid to call things the way he saw them. He was scrappy, sublime, rustic and poetic. He did not fit into any molds. He was more sensitive than people realized and craved recognition. Cardinal George, I believe, capitaliized on that. He accomplished much. But the person is who I will remember. We are better because he was among us. Thank you Andy. The Lord bless you and keep you. May He show His face to you and have mercy. May He turn His countenance to you and give you peace. The Lord bless you!
One of the issues in the permanent diaconate is that too many deacons cling to a parish-centered mode of ministry, as we have a difficult time imagining what ministry can look like, untethered from the parish. Fr. Greeley showed us one model of fidelity - to the church, to the truth, to one's gifts and talents - that didn't depend on a parish. Fidelity can take us far away from the parish without taking us away from the church.
I once heard him preach to a campus congregation for 20 minutes without a single note, and with about 30 minutes notice that he was to be the preacher. He was absolutely brilliant.
I will miss his tenacity, his wonderfully colorful vocabulary about feckless and fearful bishops, and the creativity, great common sense, and love for the church that was apparent even in his harshest critiques. We shall not see his like again!
The church has lost a great voice. Bill Mazzella said right: Basically a liberal while he did not satisfy the extremes of the left and the right. The saddest question is, do we have anyone to take his place? Over the years he presented many good and challanging ideas. One of the ones that st;icks with me was: could we have priesthood, that after a certain amount of time, someone, remaining in good standing. could decide to leave? God bless Father Greeley for hiis great contributions.
So long, Fr. Greeley. Basically, your priest of integrity. You'll be missed.
The only time I felt a little put-off or unsettled about Greeley was when he started writing those novels. It was like going to a Woodie Allen movie: you could always tell from the film [or the novel in Greeley's case] what was going on in his therapy.
His is a voice that will be missed.
I think that anyone in our church who can remain faithful AND alienate both those of our Church who are on the far Right AND far left is worthy of my respect and (if I had any say in it) is worthy of canonization.
"He was more sensitive than people realized and craved recognition. Cardinal George, I believe, capitaliized on that."
How so? Do you have examples?
"great common sense.."
We need that so much in the Catholic Church.
"what was going on in his therapy."
Come on. How do you rknow that he was in therapy? ( Not that I think that with right kind of therapist it is a bad thing.)
I always wished Fr. Greeley would be made a bishop. Not a chance, of course. May he rest in peace.
I sometimes liked to read his short reflections on the Sunday lectionary and quirky little stories. Here's the one for last Sunday, for example:
PBS did a special on Andrew Greeley on Relion and Ethics NewsWeekly a few years ago. I was not aware of how disabled he was after the freak accident.
Nice long obit (by Peter Steinfels) in the NYT.
From that: "Sometimes I suspect that my obituary in The New York Times," Father Greeley once wrote, "will read, 'Andrew Greeley, Priest; Wrote Steamy Novels.' "
I liked them. I bought them all in hard back and then passed them on to a friend from Ireland who took them home after her visits. They had their flaws, of course. Cave-mannish behavior and attitudes toward women by some/many male heroes. Patronizing and unbelievable notions about the girls who worked in the rectories. Typical priestly dislike of nuns. Etc. But his books were entertaining. Good for long flights. Etc.
I think there was a lot of jealousy of Greeley. And anger about his "articles in Chicago newspapers demanding that the church take action against pedophile priests." (And, imho, about his conclusions about the numbers of homosexual priests.)
(I think there's one aspect that hasn't been written about, but is probably not a mystery to priests: how do/did confessors feel about keeping silent -- honoring the seal of confession -- when they know/knew of predators who are/were destroying the lives of children?)
Funny how many obits use the word "outspoken" in describing Greeley. A shame there aren't more outspoken priests, bishops, laywomen and -men, editors of and contributors to Catholic periodicals, etc. The fear of the bullies is a powerful deterrent.
I saw that "rReligion and Ethics Weekly" and is worth a review to realize the extent of his disability and his lovely care by his family... As Thomas Baker said, we will not see his likes again. That era of sending the best and the brightest for study and allowing them to develop talents in various fields and freely critiquing the church - and writing those novels (!) - is impossible with the present crop of epsicopal "leaders" (sic), As all,perhaps, I didn't always agree with his assessments but appreciated his scholarship, insights, chutzpah, and fidelity to Christ... in or out of the Church.
From the Chicago Tribune:
Fr. Greeley once said "Your religion is the story you tell about your life." He told his story with honesty and courage. The Catholic Church is better for having had him in its midst.
The edited remarks of Peter Steinfels are important- especially regading the neve-discussed publicly aspect of what confessors knew from fellow priest pedophiles. I wuold love to hea the bishops discuss that one!
Rev. Donald Cozzens' works confirm Greeley's speculations regarding gay priest and truly, one of my good freinds is openly gay, celibate, and a tremendous prriest and witness. Yet, the continued non-discussion of celibacy and promotion of clericalism within diocese in the celebration of seminarians is at least lop-sided and often much worse.
Really? "Not that I think that with right kind of therapist it is a bad thing." As long as it's the "right kind of therapist"???
I have no way of knowing [and if you read carefully, I don't exactly say that Greeley was in therapy], but therapy would be one way a priest as brilliant and as self-aware as Greeley could keep his head on straight - having to deal with all those hierarchs of lesser intelligence and ability throughout his life.
I once consulted with a therapist who walked into the room reading one of Greeley's novels which included stories of a Chicago priest befriending three boys from the championship CYO parish basketball team. The therapist acclaimed outloud that Greeley was borrowing this narrative from his own personal history; and the therapist acknowledged that he in fact was one of those boys in the novel, who knew Greeley when he was a curate in his home parish. [I remember that my colleague was not overly impressed with Greeley's attempt to mine his personal experiences for his fiction writing.]
I have a memory that Greeley once publicly discussed that his ventures into fiction writing were at the suggestion of his female spiritual director. I believe that Greeley's fiction writing was indeed an attempt to expiate some of the his more human impulses that are usually denied celibate priests, or at least priests were never suppose to admit to.
Oh how we need more Andrew Greeley's for this time in the church!
Here is a memorable comments about him taken from Friday's NYTimes obit by an unknown writer:
" Exuberantly combative, he could be scathing about the nation's Roman Catholic bishops; at one point he described them as "morally, intellectually and religiously bankrupt." If the church wanted "to salvage American Catholicism," he wrote, it would be well advised to retire "a considerable number of mitered birdbrains." "

The deal would settle two civil lawsuits seeking more than $20 billion in damages, although a criminal case involving Chevron and others will continue, the prosecutor's office said. The deal can be approved if regulators confirm that the spill did not cause any environmental damage.
By JEFF FICK
RIO DE JANEIRO -- US oil major Chevron Corp. has offered to pay
$149 million to settle two civil lawsuits in Brazil related to
an oil spill in late 2011, with final approval of the deal
likely in January, Brazil's federal prosecutor's office said
A settlement would close an important part of a
controversial chapter in the history of Brazil's burgeoning oil
industry, as the country tries to balance the dangers of
offshore oil development with the benefits.
Brazil was criticized for the heavy-handed way regulators
and prosecutors came after Chevron for what the industry
regarded as a minor accident, with an estimated 3,700 bbl
of crude dumped into the Atlantic Ocean.
Huge oil reserves have been discovered off the country's
southeast coast, but development is likely to be costly and
complex, and the threat of such dramatic court action had
worried the industry.
The deal would settle two civil lawsuits seeking more than
$20 billion in damages, although a criminal case involving
Chevron, drilling rig operator Transocean and 17 executives
will continue, the prosecutor's office said.
The deal can be approved if environmental regulator Ibama
confirms that the oil spill did not cause any environmental damage, as Chevron has
claimed, a spokesman for the prosecutor's office said.
The field has been shuttered since March, when oil started
to seep a second time from cracks in the seabed. The cracks
were in a different area of the Frade field than the initial
November 2011 spill, when oil started to seep into the ocean
after a drilling accident.
Brazil's National Petroleum Agency, or ANP, cited Chevron
for 25 infractions related to the spill, with Chevron paying
the agency more than $17 million in fines. Transocean was
absolved of any wrongdoing by the ANP.

[RELEASE] Mega SuperJump Script
This is a complete rewrite of my superjump/dig lua script. The features available in the lua script are also available in this release, but this release has so much more and it's much more stable. It's all thanks to HazardX and his .NET ScriptHook, without it this wouldn't be possible.
This script gives quite a few more options from the lua script. Some of the new options are:
- Infinite Health/Armor/Ammo
- Niko Fling (ragdoll toggle)
- Speed Increase (travel faster than vehicles while on foot)
- Configurable hotkeys and options
NEW in v1.1:
- Added Niko's current vehicle to the infinite health/invincibility functions.
- Fixed the problem of the invincibility overwriting other trainers/scripts. Set the hotkey used to 0 in the "sjsettings.ini" file to completely disable it.
NEW in v1.2:
- Now works for game version v22.214.171.124.
- Added a time scale AKA bullet time option.
The new feature I'd like to point out is the ability to configure your hotkeys, weapons, and values to anything you want. This gives the script complete customization and grants you complete control of how the script will perform.
The keys are assigned the numerical representation of the respective VK enum. I've included a text file with a listing of all available keys, incase some of you don't know the numerical value of the key you'd like to use.
The values and weapons also give you control over how the script will perform. You can change the values to suit your needs, even though the defaults should be just fine. The weapons can be changed according to the weapon indexes. I've also included a text file with all the weapon indexes as well for people who can't find them.
NOTE: You can change the options during gameplay without exiting the game. After you've saved any changes, simply reload the game and the changes will take effect.
Default Hotkeys: Page Up (33): SuperJump1 Page Down (34): Dig Delete (46): Float/Fly/Hover Insert (45): 1: Infinite Health/Armor/Ammo; 2: Invincibility; 3: Normal End (35): Niko Fling Shift (16): Speed Increase Space (32): SuperJump2 Home (36): Bullet Time Options Information: SuperJump1: Positional jump. Increases both player position and velocity. Dig: Positional fall. Decreases both player position and velocity. Float/Fly/Hover: Freezes your Z velocity allowing you to hover in mid air. Infinite Health/Armor/Ammo: Freezes them at max so you never lose any. This will also constantly repair and wash your current vehicle. Invincibility: AKA Godmode. With this enabled you will NEVER die. This will set your current vehicle invincible as well. Normal: Returns Niko's health/armor/ammo/invincibility status back to normal. Also restores your current vehicle back to normal. Niko Fling: Transforms Niko into a ragdoll, and puts a bit of force to push him forward. (NOTE: The amount of force depends on how much momentum Niko has initially.) Speed Increase: Increases your speed as you hold down the button. Speed will begin to decrease when it's released. (NOTE1: If you don't notice any change in speed, jump once or twice while running.) (NOTE2: This also works for your current vehicle.) SuperJump2: Velocity jump. Increases only player velocity and not position. Rapidly press for greater effect. Bullet Time: Allows changing the timescale to slow it down. You can choose to have it speed up if you change the option value. Togglable. Settings Information: [KEYS] POSJUMP = SuperJump1 POSDIG = Dig VELOJUMP = SuperJump2 LOCKVELO = Float/Fly/Hover SPEEDINC = Speed Increase HEALTHWEAPS = Invincibility NIKORAG = Niko Fling [VALUES] POSJUMPPOSINC = Amount of positional increase when performing SuperJump1. (DEFAULT=1.0) POSJUMPVELOINC = Amount of velocity increase when performing SuperJump1. (DEFAULT=3.0) POSDIGPOSDEC = Amount of positional decrease when performing Dig. (DEFAULT=3.0) VELOJUMPVELOINC = Amount of velocity increase when performing SuperJump2. (DEFAULT=6.0) SPEEDINCFORCE = Multiplier of the Speed Increase force. (DEFAULT=1.15) NIKORAGFORCE = Multiplier of the Niko Fling momentum force. (DEFAULT=3.0) BTSCALE = Multiplier of the Bullet Time scale when enabled. (DEFAULT=0.2) [WEAPONS] Each property specifies a certain weapon slot ingame. Entering a value other than the required value for the property will NOT put the chosen weapon into the respective slot. For example, putting a value of 18 for MELEE will NOT give you the RPG in the Handgun slot. (DEFAULTS: MELEE=3, THROWN=4, HANDGUN=9, SHOTGUN=11, SMG=13, RIFLE=15, SNIPER=17, HEAVY=18)
To Install:
First you will need to obtain a copy of HazardX's .NET ScriptHook. After you've installed the .NET ScriptHook simply copy the /scripts folder to the GTAIV root folder.
Optional: If you choose to use the default values, you don't need to copy the "sjsettings.ini" file. However, if you do intend to change some things, you need to copy the "sjsettings.ini" file to the same location as the script, to the <GTAIVROOT>/scripts folder.

This game is awesome! I finished it a couple of months back. If you haven't played it I would jump on this deal. Also, the game has a built in benchmark tool that I found useful when comparing my new video card with my old video card. Awesome game!
i too recommend this game as a source of valuable entertainment.
This deal is a LIE! The voucher code is invalid. The real price is $3.98!! That is 50% more expensive than the listed price here
code seems to work fine for me.
The code worked for me, but not initially. You have to use the "I want one" button to get to Green Man Gaming, then the code will work.
You can tell the game is a little dated, but everyone should play it anyways. It's an FPS with an enjoyable storyline. How often does that happen? And don't forget that the sequel is coming out soon
Metro 2033 is one of the best modern FPS games out there. For this price it is a steal. If only GMG let me buy more than one copy I would buy several copies just to give friends.
@akauffman: The voucher code works. Please do your research before publicizing your misguided criticism. And thanks for the downvote. ;)

Is there a pay-as-you-go web service that provides a "Call Return Busy" service offered by some telcos? It would continuously call a busy phone number until it is free, at which point it calls your number and conferences the call.
It would be very useful, especially if it was not tied to a specific phone service, but could call/connect any number.

My husband and I ride road bicycles and enjoy touring and cycling events. We do not like having to carry cue sheets or directions in our back pockets, or in large cover protectors put on the handbars of our bicycles, since they always blow in the wind, or get in the way of our cycling computers. We saw a women with a cue clip on a tour. And it looked so small but effective that we decided to try it. WE LOVE it!! Even my husband who hates anything like that, will use it. Even in the rain and wind with a plastic baggy, it holds the sheet in place. The owner of our local bicycle shop asked where we got it, so he could get one. What a remarkable item.

Discipline is -at least in my opinion- the key to changing behaviours and increasing productivity. Pomodoro, GTD as well as other techniques are methods that need discipline in order to consistently use them and increase your productivity.
One simple tip to increase productivity is to award yourself after finishing a task instead of awarding your self before executing the task. Again, this requires discipline. This also holds when you want to change a behaviour. Changing behaviours requires you to force yourself to use this new behaviour for 21 to 30 day (depending on how you choose to belief) before it becomes a real behaviour. Once again, disciple!
How to improve your discipline behaviour without having discipline? (Not enough discipline)

WHEELING - The Rev. James Fleming will succeed Richard Beyer as president of Wheeling Jesuit University on July 1 as a result of a unanimous vote by the university's board of trustees on Thursday.
"Wheeling Jesuit University is a great institution possessing even greater potential," said Fleming, who now serves as the university's executive vice president, which will make him the first person to become president at the university after serving there in another capacity. "It has been a great privilege to be a part of this community for the past three years, and I thank the board of trustees for their confidence and the opportunity to continue moving the university forward."
Beyer, who has served as WJU president since 2010, said he decided not to seek another term as president due to what he termed a "family-oriented decision." He will work closely with Fleming on the transition.

PRESIDENT SELECTED — The Rev. James Fleming, center, executive vice president of Wheeling Jesuit University, center, will become the university's next president July 1. Joining Fleming for his announcement are outgoing President Richard Beyer and Board of Trustees Chairwoman Mimie Helm. -- Casey Junkins
"The experience here at WJU has been tremendous, and I am grateful for the opportunity to work with such outstanding people," Beyer said, adding that Fleming is an "outstanding partner."
Fleming, 53, initially joined WJU in 2010 as the institution's first vice president for mission and identity before becoming executive vice president in 2012. He previously served as director of mission planning and assessment for Boston College and was a member of the faculty there from 2000-2010.
A native of Lowell, Mass., and a priest with the New England Province of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits), Fleming also holds a doctorate in education policy, organization, measurement and evaluation from the University of California-Berkeley. He said working and living is such diverse cultures gives him plenty of "real world experience."
Both Fleming and Beyer acknowledged the university's role in the city of Wheeling, particularly as city leaders are in the midst of a significant downtown urban renewal project.
"There is no hiding the fact that we have been working with the city and with the Regional Economic Development Partnership to explore possibilities," Fleming said. "They have been very cooperative."
"The Wheeling community is very important to Wheeling Jesuit University," Beyer added.
The Most Rev. Michael J. Bransfield, bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston, congratulated Fleming on his appointment to succeed Beyer, noting WJU is the "only Catholic institution of higher learning in West Virginia."
"I have known Father Fleming since his arrival on campus, and I have always been impressed with his enthusiasm, keen leadership and exceptional commitment to advancing the mission of Wheeling Jesuit," Bransfield said. "His collaboration with and support of Mr. Richard Beyer was exceptional, and I thank Mr. Beyer for moving the university forward in its enrollment, curriculum, alumni outreach and strategic planning."
Mimie Helm, chairwoman of the university's board of trustees, said Fleming is "ideally suited to serve as president of the university. He is a dynamic and visionary leader who possesses a keen knowledge of the university and, obviously, the Jesuit values on which it was founded and continues to operate."
Helm acknowledged that some may question Beyer's exit, partially due to the controversial developments involving J. Davitt McAteer, former chief executive officer of the university's Center for Educational Technologies and the National Technology Transfer Center. McAteer retired from his post in June, a decision Wheeling Jesuit officials said was planned long before revelations of a federal probe involving alleged misappropriation of funds.
"I understand that some may think we are forcing him out, but he helped us plan for this," Helm said of Beyer. "We are happy with Rick and are sad to see him leave."
"Under his leadership, WJU has achieved record enrollment, tremendous growth in alumni giving, as well as the establishment of new academic programs in fine arts, engineering and health sciences," Helm added.
Helm noted that Fleming is "distinctly qualified to build on the momentum generated in recent years and to lead the university's continued growth as one of the nation's best liberal arts institutions."
"In the months and years ahead, the relationship between the Diocese and WJU will continue to grow. The university already supports our Catholic school system in the Diocese, providing excellent secondary instruction as well as a host of learning opportunities at all grade levels. Our parochial school students are involved in many of the same service projects as WJU students and, of course, we share a deep passion for educating young people in the finest Catholic tradition," Bransfield added.

Playing It Safe is the Riskiest Strategy
Here's another case in point.
Since January, 1997, we've gained 50+ points in SPY, or the equivalent of over 500 S&P points.
So you'd think it was a reasonably good market for daytraders over that time.
Daytraders like to close positions out by the end of the day to avoid overnight risk. But markets don't reward the avoidance of risk.
From the close to the next day's open, from January, 1997 to the present (N = 2402 trading days), SPY gained a total of over 139 points. During that same period, from the day's open to the day's close (the daytrading market), SPY *lost* a total of 88 points.
So, in other words, daytraders who bought the open and sold the close every day during a period of rising market prices lost about 880 S&P points.
But maybe you're thinking this underperformance was just a function of the 2000-2003 bear market.
From 2003 to the present (the most recent bull market), SPY from the close to the next day's open gained a total of almost 36 points. And the daytrading market (open to close)? During the entire recent bull market SPY gained a total of four points. In 2006 thus far, SPY has gained about 6.6 points from the close to the next day's open. During the daytrading market, we've lost about 6.1 points.
It's awfully hard to find *any* recent time period in which the "safe" strategy of closing positions at the end of the day provided traders with opportunity.
Markets are a lot like relationships: Playing it really safe is often the riskiest strategy.

Are you also assuming those traders didn't short the index at any time?
- John Wheatcroft said...
Holy smoke - I started the overnight buy - sell cycle several months ago - buy at 3:45 and sell at 9:45 because all of a sudden it was the only way I could make a buck. Actually the time frame is sometimes a bit longer - I learned to wait until 10:15 and then look at the last three 15-minute bars for the DIA if two of three were green I'd hold my trade and continue holding until 2 of the last 3 turned red. Then I'd sell. Made as good a timing indicator as any I could find.
Glad your research has validated my method. Thankyou.
- Brett Steenbarger, Ph.D. said...
Good point, Dave. There is research to suggest that daytraders as a whole have a bias to the long side, but you're right: if the traders were shorting the index intraday, they might even have an edge! Thanks for the note--
- Brett Steenbarger, Ph.D. said...
Hi John,
That's an interesting strategy. Seems to me that it has been able to capitalize on the relative strength from the Asian and European averages, which then become reflected in the U.S. open.
- John Wheatcroft said...
A lot of day traders these days are playing both sides of the market. The most successful look for set-ups starting about 30 - 45 minutes after the open and take the play as it lies up or down. Set-ups are found most days in gap-ups/downs. Generally speaking a good set-up is always available. Yesterday for example I caught LNN on the 15-minute bars. Made a good entry and clean exit for a few fun bucks.
I play every once in awhile but it is too intense for me to do more than a couple of times a month. My ADD kicks in and I need to do other things than watch a trade develop. I just do it for fun and to try to keep the mind sharp.
- Brett Steenbarger, Ph.D. said...
Yes, good point re: playing both sides of the market. Real-time screening tools (the Trade Ideas program comes readily to mind) can be quite helpful in monitoring setups as they occur.
- longnshortofit said...
Few average investors and most traders are adept enough consistently to keep ahead of the game.
Taking the kids to baseball and other endeavors make it a tad hard.
For the record I think we have a total reversal on the indices today and go higher...Dow and Nasdaq look healthy at about 11042 and 2125...yesterdays close will be tough but I think we get it.
- Brett Steenbarger, Ph.D. said...
I think you have an excellent point. It is difficult to immerse ourselves in markets and market patterns if we also have to hold a full time job, attend to family needs, and so on. There are very few performance fields that allow one to develop expertise as a part-timer.
- Dave said...
Brett: I'd say that most traders/investors prefer the long side, and it's not just day traders. I think if anything day traders are probably more comfortable exploiting the short side as day trading and short selling both involve a higher risk and higher reward.
Also, in regards to the comments to be immensed in this market. I agree there are alot of things out there that we have to do on a daily basis and to follow every tick or every stock market mover of the day is hard, and although this is a different time from when Darvas invested. I believe if he can do it, so can you. It does come down to waning to take the time to do so, a top all the qualities needed to become a sucessful trader/investor.
- Brett Steenbarger, Ph.D. said...
Hi Dave,
One tool that I think helps traders improve their performance is simulation capability. The ability to save market data, replay market days, and practice trading those markets allows traders to greatly accelerate their exposure to market patterns and hasten their learning curves. The NeoTicker (www.tickquest.com) and Ninja Trader (www.ninjatrader.com) platforms stand out in this regard.
- Eddie Offermann said...
Going to start following your blog thanks to this old post.
I'd developed a set of end-of-day metrics that was generating excellent and dare I say "reliable" gains in early morning trading. After running the model for a week and pouring over the charts for the stocks I'd selected from it, I noted a pattern: if I could get in before the close on these stocks, my gain would have been even more substantial.
Since the method involves data that's normally not published until end-of-day, that required some programming this weekend: but now I'm able to generate the same metrics dynamically from live data.
As a trading pattern, I've rarely heard of it: but it was interesting to read someone with long-term analysis to back it up as I've only been following the trend directly for a few weeks.

In the movie Reservoir Dogs, near the end of the film, there's a standoff between three guys. They all end up firing their guns. One was aiming at Mr. Orange, one was aiming at Mr. White, and one was aiming at the boss. When the guns fired Mr. White, the boss, and Nice Guy Eddie fell. No one was aiming at Eddie! Who shot Nice Guy Eddie?
Ah, one of the great movie questions. I'm surprised it hasn't come up here before. This particular Mexican standoff scene has been dissected quite a bit, and the IMDB link provided by @GertArnold gives the consensus:
The only other possibilities are either Mr. Pink or Mr. Orange, but Pink was hiding and Orange had just unloaded his gun into Mr. Blonde:
(The scene can be watched in slow motion here on Youtube.)
Finally, an excerpt from the original script backs up that it was Mr. White:
While the shootout unfolds slightly differently in the script to what is on screen, it is mainly superficial details such as what is said. The characters' intentions are maintained, which clears Mr. Orange and Mr. Pink, who were present but not responsible:
It was Mr. White after he shot Joe.
Larry (Mr. White) shot Nice Guy Eddie.
It's all a bit unclear and very quick (the frames above are from about 0.5 seconds), but thankfully Chris Penn (the guy who plays Nice Guy Eddie) explained it:
