We had been wanting to spend an overnite on Mackinac Island with friends since our last adventure to New York City last January. Which by the way was just so much fun!
This was a wonderful adventure that started with a great offer of tickets for the ferry, breakfast included room price (not just a continental breakfast but eggs pancakes, french toast, fresh fruit, coffee, juice, potatoes...a great way to start the day of strolling the island) and just down the street from the ferry! All of the staff were wonderful. Wait staff was thinning as it was towards the end of the season but more that adequate, and very friendly.
The swimming pool was nice and still open, it was indoors with plenty of seating on the outside and on the deck.
This hotel is the oldest on the Island so the rooms are not huge, but you spend little time in them as you are busy roaming the island, which is a true step back in time. At the end of the day they have chimeneas with a fire going so you can roast marshmallows. The porch is wonderful and you can see the harbor and Round Island Lighthouse from it.
We ate dinner at the Grand Hotel and it was delightful! The desk called us a horse drawn taxi and off we went! Such a magnificient building. Somewhere in time was filmed there with Christopher Reed and Jan Seymour...We took a tour of the Island because it was iffy as far as the weather was concerned and it was worth every penny! Mike was awesome!
The hotel also picks up your luggage from the ferry and will take your luggage to the ferry, although it is a quick walk and not difficult manage on your own
Island House was great for us! Hope it is for you too.

Vai's View: Here's hoping my next 'fiddy' years are as good as the first 50
I'm talking about those homes with small yards for $100,000 — three bedrooms, two baths, maybe 1,000 square feet. A place where we could have barbecues in the backyard with my grandkids, the next-door neighbors, no swimming pool but just enough room for a few picnic tables and a small vegetable garden. A little place for grandchildren sleepovers in such tight quarters that we move the furniture and sleep on the floor in sleeping bags under forts of our own making.
Like Mitt Romney, I'd give anything to break up another fight between my boys or to find my children sleeping on floor of our bedroom because they were watching a Disney movie on our TV. I long for my grandchildren to visit grandparents in a neighborhood of smaller homes, not a show place.
A friend with whom I shared my sentiment asked me, "But eventually, you'll outgrow such a small home as you will surely have more grandchildren," to which I responded, "Then we'll have the barbecues at their parents' place, which will surely be bigger to accommodate their growing families, but I'm keeping my retirement home small and manageable. My parents remained in their small home, and visiting them and sleeping on Tongan mats was among the most memorable things my well-traveled and privileged kids ever did. Why would I cheat my grandkids of that privilege?"
I'd like to be of greater service to my community, church and country. Given my experiences in public school, attending and struggling through a private university from my impoverished and immigrant background, I think I could offer a unique perspective and guidance on a school board.
My wife and I have always planned to serve our church together on a mission someday, as most Latter-day Saint couples do. I'm still literate and fluent in Tongan, so maybe they'll send us to Tonga. Or to South Dakota to work on the reservations as I did 30 years ago. Who knows? Maybe it happens in my 50s or 60s — we'll know when it's supposed to happen — but I expect we'll go multiple times.
A little more than a year ago, I met with Deseret Book CEO Sheri Dew, at her request. She asked me to consider writing a book. There's no timetable, but she graciously offered to assign an editor to me should I choose to do so. I find the task daunting, though writing a weekly column is cathartic. I just haven't been motivated enough to undertake such a project, but that may also be in my future.
In the next 10 years, we expect more of our children to get married, which means they'll be more grandchildren. We are anxious and excited for that possibility. We pray they'll be selective, choose wisely in finding spouses, as I did and as LJ did with Kaylie, whom we love and adore.
I'm closing in on 20 years of employment with NBC Philadelphia. I've had two jobs in my adult life: playing football and talking football. My wife reminds me of that fact whenever I grumble about taking out the trash, scrubbing a toilet or mopping her kitchen.
I've had a charmed life. Fifty years worth.
Already looking forward to the next fiddy.

I finally got back into it...Posted: Apr 26, 2009 12:00AM PST by yoass
after being out of the game for a few months. I needed something in the news to bring me back to this game. I was pretty burned out on the game fro awhile. I've put 29 hours into this game so far, and that is only in race time. I didn't know about all of the new unicorn cars that have been added to the community. I am really excited to get back in to Forza 2. I played it all weekend long, and beat some races in the single player. I am still gunnin' for that Nuremburg race in Semi-Pro. I can't say how many times I have tried and failed.

If painting someones face on a car, ruins a car line for you, then you are not really a worthy fan of that car anyway. What makes a car isnt just the paintjob dude. Nice immature fanboy comment. But considering most ford mustang drivers are immature jock types or fat chicks, I guess I shouldnt have expected more.
Forza 2 is a great game....Posted: Apr 24, 2009 12:00AM PST by BENJIDAWG
If not the best racing (simulation) game out there. If ya haven't played it yet. Give it a shot. Once ya get hang of the sim controls. (driving lines help big time) It is hard to put the game down. I've spent hours just goofing around with the different art tools. Is Major Nellson that bad to warrant not wanting a game that offers a free car with his name on it? If ya hate him that bad ya can make a car with an essay written all over it saying how much Major sucks. The art tools are that good. :)
!hahaPosted: Apr 24, 2009 12:00AM PST by PMS_Legend
Very nice way to get people to put that disc in their 360's. I used to play Forza a lot.. might convince some friends to come join :P
Hmm.Posted: Apr 24, 2009 12:00AM PST by Galactic_Barret
Thank you. Thank you for ruining my favorite car line. The car is still awesome but disrespecting it by painting that fail on it is both disheartening and unacceptable.
wellPosted: Apr 24, 2009 12:00AM PST by ohJTBehaaave
that's just another reason to avoid this disappointing game.

Client Testimonials
Amazing!! Only way to describe Move U! We were quoted by a competitor > $5k using 6 men and 2 trucks. Move U did it with 1 truck and 3 guys for a fraction of the price. The guys were fast, friendly and professional. Nothing was a problem for them and I highly recommend using Move U! Thank you guys, appreciate all the blood sweat and tears today!!
Move u moved us last week and they were fantastic!! If you move yourself it'll prob cost around the same but will take a much longer time!!! They moved our 4-5bedroom house with loads of stuff in four hours, great guys & customer service! Highly recommend!!!!!
We had a terrible move back from NSW to the gold coast recently and to be honest my opinion of removalists was not good….. Let's just say below car salesmen, that was until we enlisted you guys to move us from our storage shed back Into our house, nice hard working and most important honest who also showed time to amuse my young boys, what a pleasure to do business with, I will have no problem recommending you to anyone, thanks.
Could highly reccomend these guys for your next move so quick and efficient! With the friendliest drivers! Will definately be using you guys again.

This is a great as far as pawn shops goes. I don't like it when a store says they are open until a certian time but close 15 to 20 minuets before, but this pawn store stays open until seven. and when i took my computer up there (mind you I got there at 7) they keep the doors open until i had finished being helped. They may not have the the best people answering the phones at times but they do treat thier customers very well.

I called to ask if they stocked a particular item that I was looking for, and the girl who answered the phone made it clear that I was a major inconvenience and that she had better things to do than answer one simple question. I won't be doing business here and wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

I am developing a Asp.Net MVC 4 application using VS 2012. The application when running in local is using the IIS Express as web server.I am facing issues in trying to access a file which is part of my solution. I have the following action method :
public FileContentResult GetImage()
byte[] imageByte = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(@"/MyPics/My.jpg");
string contentType = "image/jpeg";
return File(imageByte, contentType);
In the first line, I am getting the following error :
Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Program Files (x86)\IIS Express\~\MyPics\My.jpg'
I know that the above path is not correct but I am not able to understand what path I should provide in order to solve this problem.

MGM first released "The Howling" in a no-frills DVD that let the movie down: no extras, a cheap and scratchy transfer, and a very dull mono soundtrack. Thankfully, they realized the popularity of the film and are now giving us a nice edition with revamped sound (5.1 Surround), a sharp picture, and a big bowl full o' extras.
John Sayles's script (co-written with Terence H. Winkless) unapologetically drops the classic werewolf legend into the modern-day -- in this case, the world of television news and the fad of self-help psychology. News anchor Karen White (Dee Wallace-Stone), while on a special assignment to lure out a serial killer (Robert Picardo from "Star Trek: Voyager") in the city, is attacked by something bestial. On the advice of psychiatrist Dr. Waggner (Patrick Macnee), Karen and her husband (Christopher Stone) head to Waggner's clinical retreat in the woods. However, there's something very disturbing about the other patients in the colony, and those weird wolf howls at night won't stop...
The werewolf transformations supervised by Rob Bottin still have an amazing effect on viewers.Read more ›
Only a few months before the legendary "An American Werewolf In London" was released, Joe Dante gave us the OTHER best werewolf film ever made, the original "The Howling.Read more ›
Both movies are linked. Contemporaries, they represented a new era. There's no point discussing which one's the better. "AWIL" is more modern in a way, having non-sense humor, bloody scenes and unbelievable effects. THE HOWLING, earlier, has a classical movie profile, surprising plot and ending. Its characters were named after classical werewolf and horror movies directors, like George Waggner, Sam Newfield, R. William Neill, Erle Kenton, Lew Landers, Terry Fischer, Charlie Barton, Jerry Warren and Jack Molina. There are lots of ironies, like THE WOLF MAN quotations during the film and after credits, and the wolf cartoon in a tense scene. John Carradine, Roger Corman, John Sayles and Forrest J. Ackerman appear, giving additional charm. It's the first time more complex werewolves characters emerge, like Eddie (Robert Picardo, the scariest werewolf on movie history) and Marsha (Elisabeth Brooks, 1951-1997). Joe Dante made this classic with $1,6 million and used his own garage for the rated movies scene.
Lots of ideas were borrowed later ("the gift" in WOLF). There were sequels non-related to the original, without the "THE" of the title. Most of them have nothing to do with each other. It's depressing to someone expecting a real sequel to watch HOWLING II.Read more ›

LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO DO...........Get your copy of the FLYER and REGISTRATION Forms for the DOT ROBINSON NATIONAL FIELD MEET taking place August 27, 2016 in Wheatley, Ontario.
To get a feel for the importance of tradition and history you need to look back in time at some of the challenges ladies before us had to overcome.
In 1916, just before the US entered WWI, sisters Augusta (Gussie, age 24) and Adeline (Addie, age 22) Van Buren wanted to prove women could serve as military dispatchers. They rode 5,500 miles in 60 days on motorcycles equipped with gas headlights. Crossing the continental US each on their own bike, wearing military style leggings and leather riding breeches they were arrested numerous times, not for speeding but for wearing men's clothes.
In 1937 Sally Robinson is an 88 pound, 4'11" tall 27 year old resident of Washington that has been riding since 1928 and wanted to get her motorcycle license. After taking the written test twice with scores of 80 and 92, she must bring her lawyer in order to get the opportunity to take the riding portion. Upon completion the examiner announced "Lady, you handle it as well as any man could" but because he had not seen her kick it over, he would not give her the permit. An article written in the Washington post went on to say that Miss Robinson was embarrassed to admit that she had "cussed him out" but left with her permit in hand.
The year is 1940. After an extensive search, Linda Dugeau and Dot Robinson compile a list of 51 female riders that would make up the Motor Maids Charter membership. In 1941 the American Motorcycle Association issues Charter #509 to the club.
Today, 76 years later, the Motor Maids, are one of the oldest continuously operated Women's Motorcycling Organization in North America. Joining the Motor Maids will enlarge the 1,300+ membership that is a diverse group with a passion for riding, promoting safe riding habits and showing the world a positive image of ladies on motorcycles.
Available here are links for our Constitution and By-Laws (designed and voted on by our membership) that we closely follow, along with an Application Form and Liability Waiver Form. All of these forms need to be filled out and mailed-in to join the Motor Maids. Check out our National Officers and your District Director on the Contact Us tab. We look forward to getting to know you.

Dinosaurs: Phylogenetic Chart
Take a look at the fine print. Notice where it says that the "tinted" areas indicate "solid" fossil evidence. So, the "real" evidence shows stasis, not change. Dinosaurs were dinosaurs and did not change into something else or from something else. The "blank" areas again, are a story about the evidence. The evidence does not prove evolution as we are told.

First C1-C5 alcohols which were very important in practical application were analyzed, and the thermodynamic analysis for the synthesis of C1-C5 alcohols can guide the experiment in praxis. In the article the equilibrium constants were used to analyze the thermodynamic of the synthesis of C1-C5 alcohols and verified the calculation results in line with the trends of theoretical analysis. Reducing temperature and raising the pressure is useful for CO conversion rate and the generation of C1-C5 alcohols, as well as different molar ratio of H2/CO influence CO conversion rate. Eventually the optimum condition was confirmed. A new type of catalyst was developed, which can increase the yield of alcohols, then the theoretical analysis's correctness are verified by the experimental data.

????----hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh the worst flu season in decades is having ill-effects on the business world. in today's cover story, mortgage rates are on the rise. how it's framing the overall picture of the economy. plus, will the newly nominated treasury secretary be a friend or foe to wall street? why amazon might be preparing for its 15 minutes of fame with traders. and "new money" is creeping into the market. first business starts now.
4:01 am
you're watching first business: financial news, analysis, and today's investment ideas. good morning. it's friday, january 11th. i'm angela miles. in today's first look: it's an s&p 500 hundred party! the s&p closed at a 5-year high yesterday. financial stocks were among the leaders. just as wall street is making gains, american express is sliming down. the company revealed it's cutting 5,400 jobs. the stock edged up 1% on the news after the close. and vice president joe biden says he will have recommendations on curbing gun violence by tuesday. john brady of rjo'brien joins us now for a closer look at the market. this could get interesting today. the s&p 500 crossing 1470. what does that mean to traders? > > i think from a technical perspective it's suggests the market is strong. we are heading into earnings season, where earnings season expectations are rather modest given so much concern about the fiscal cliff last quarter. so, technically the market looks pretty strong. now the hope is, of course, that the weekend press cycle doesn't shift the subject perhaps back to the debt ceiling debate. so early on in trade today, we will see more
4:02 am
follow-through from the strong wednesday-thursday trade, but perhaps expect a little bit of profit-taking in the last hour ahead of the weekend press cycle. > > what are you seeing as far as volume, and did growth in china have anything to do with this latest rally? > > right, no, absolutely. first and foremost, china. the chinese trade data from wednesday night into thursday morning was exceptionally strong, exceeding analysts' expectations by 50%. it suggests or gives the hint that perhaps the global and domestic economies are both a little bit stronger than what some of the data is perhaps suggesting. that would be welcome news for federal reserve policymakers. your second point, volumes - volumes have been very strong at the start of the new year. even the s&p futures for example, yesterday traded over 1.6 million contracts in its heaviest volume day of the year, so, volumes are strong, and there is a lot of new money entering the market - 401(k)s, pension plans, whatever else - so look for volumes to remain elevated. > john, you enjoy your trading day. have a good one. > > thanks much. you too. the average rate on 30-year fixed mortages rose to 3.4% -
4:03 am
that's the highest its been in two months, a sign that employment is improving. and as our cover story explains, it coincides with new rules for lenders on how they decide who gains approval and for how much? mortage rates ticked up slightly, from 3.31% in november, the lowest in more than 40 years, to 3.34% last week and now, 3.4% - still pretty low. "interest rates are extremely low, home values are good. it's worthwhile to go through the process." and to prevent a repeat of the free-wheeling days of interest- only and no-documentation loans before the housing bubble burst, the newly created consumer financial protection bureau set new rules for lenders. "since the downturn in the economy, lenders aren't accepting state's loans. this just makes official what's already in practice." borrowers will have to prove that they'll be able to repay their loans. "it's not going to be simple. not that it's been that easy because of tight credit." beginning in 2014, a lot of
4:04 am
loans will hinge on whether your debt is higher than 43% of your income. if it is, you may not get the loan. "i think it's reasonable. for fha loans, there's a range. 43% is very comfortable. i think it's realistic." the new standards are part of the 2010 dodd-frank act. they hope to avert another collapse of the housing sector. in exchange for more selectivity, lenders may face fewer penalties if the loans fall into foreclosure. not the wild west, but not a strait-jacket, either. "the 'wild west' is done. this is about rational lending." however, the national consumer law center says applying a 43% debt-to-income ratio to someone making just a thousand dollars a month still invites abuse, yet now gives lenders "cover" from legal action. starbucks is attempting to block actor patrick dempsey's bid to buy tully's coffee in
4:05 am
court today. dempsey's group, global baristas, offered $9 billion for the tully's franchise. now starbucks and agri-nurture, a food producer based in the phillippines, are offering to buy all 47 tully's locations in a $10.5-billion bid. starbucks wants 25 of those stores to rebranded under its own name. the case heads to bankruptcy court today. herbalife's ceo is fighting back. ceo michael johnson defended the nutritional supplements company after hedge fund manager bill ackman called it a "pyramid scheme" with shady business practices. johnson says herbalife is a legitimate company with real products, customers, and solid management. ackman bet one billion dollars against herbalife's stock, and called for the ftc to shut it down. herbalife shares were down 70% at $39 thursday. the nomination process for the next treasury secretary is moving forward with president obama naming jack lew as his
4:06 am
pick. "i trust his judgement, i value his friendship, i know very few people who have greater integrity than the man to my left." lew currently serves as the chief of staff in the obama administration and could become treasury secretary when timothy geithner leaves later this month. joining us now via skype with insights is jim bianco of bianco research. how is wall street responding? > > lukewarm on the jack lew nomination. they're not really that thrilled. > other than lew's poor penmanship, how well will lew's no-drama approach play out in the upcoming debt ceiling talks? > > in the debt ceiling talks it is going to be interesting. other than the no drama, he has got a history of being confrontational with republicans, and that is going to be difficult because that is who he's got to deal with. > didn't he once work on wall street? > > briefly at citibank for a couple of years around the time of the financial crisis. > do you think the republicans
4:07 am
will go along with his nomination? > > i think at the end of the day he will probably get the nomination, but it won't be without a lot of skepticism and a lot of thought about whether or not they could have found a better person. > jim bianco, good to talk to you today. > > thank you. google's executive chairman ended his trip to north korea by endorsing the internet. eric schmidt told reporters this week that the country risks falling out of touch because of heavy internet regulations. the google exec stirred up controversy earlier this week when he flew to the eastern country in spite of criticism from the state department. north korea's citizens are obstructed from accessing the internet. foreign media is also widely illegal. schmidt says the country faces falling behind economically due to the restrictions. a fast food chain owner is apologizing to consumers in china about a recent tainted- chicken scare. yum brands, which owns kfc, pizza hut and taco bell, generates nearly half of its revenue from china. reports surfaced in china last month that chicken suppliers to the restaurants were feeding the birds a steady diet of hormones and antibiotics. yum brands said it was not quick enough to
4:08 am
notify regulators about the drugs. sales at the fast food chains are expected to slip due to the negative pr. chinese officials have accused foxconn of accepting bribes. the manufacturer of consumer electronics for apple and other companies said this week that officials are investigating foxconn for allegedly accepting bribes from within its supply chain. foxconn said the company is working with chinese authorities and plans to carry out a review to avoid such issues in the future. the largest pension fund in the nation is selling off its shares in gun stocks. the california state teachers retirement system voted unanimously to divest from companies such as the freedom group that include the maker of bushmaster semiautomatic rifles. this is in response to the killing of 20 first graders and 6 adults at sandy hook elementry in newtown, connecticut, last month. gun manufacturers make up roughly $12 million in the teacher retirement portfolio. the lull that hit the motorcycle industry during the
4:09 am
recession appears to be over. sales of the bikes rose in 2012 for the first time since 2006. bmw had a stellar year, with overall motorcycle sales rising 2%. studies suggest that more women and younger buyers are lured to head out on the highway. a decade ago, boomers outnumbered gen-x and gen-y riders four-to-one. gm is shifting away from outsourcing. according to reports, the automaker wants to rely more on its own employees for tech projects versus outsourcing jobs. and it will hire around 10,000 workers for tech centers in michigan, texas and georgia and one other yet- to-be-revealed location. meanwhile, general motors predicts a modest increase in u.s. market share this year, along with reducing its losses in europe. honda is also adding jobs in the u.s. and investing $23 million into an ohio plant where
4:10 am
it will manufacture a new hybrid car. honda is hiring 50 people at the marysville, ohio, plant for production of the hybrid version of the honda accord. this will be the third hybrid model built by honda in america and the first in ohio. the vehicle goes on sale this fall. a car collector's dream is happening in arizona. classic cars will be auctioned in scottsdale starting sunday. just be prepared to see your money drive away. bids on collector's items such as ferraris from the '50s and '60s will be available. bids may go up to $10 million on some cars. nokia stock is turning heads on wall street. shares in nokia surged a surprising 18% yesterday after sales of its new lumia smartphone line passed expectations. nokia's ceo said the strong demand for the windows-backed phone means the company is on its way back to profitability. it shipped 4.4 million smartphones in the fourth quarter of last year. nokia's fourth-quarter earnings come out later this month.

4:14 am
a nasty side effect of this year's flu season comes at an expense to businesses. as the worst flu season in nearly a decade continues to spread, employers are warned of the high cost of the virus. the center for disease control is estimating that the flu will cost employers $10.4 billion in healthcare costs. john challenger of challenger, gray and christmas notes that workers are reluctant to call in sick, which is actually making the workplace more of a hot spot to pick up germs. "we've traditionally had a culture whether you were sick or not you just came in. but more and more, businesses are realizing that especially in the flu season, if people come in they may get a little bit of productivity out of that one worker, but if 10 or 15 more people catch the flu, they've actually lost an immense amount of work. " challenger suggests working from home and limiting your contact with other employees. whether you are for or against

obamacare, investors who bought healthcare-related stocks last year are making healthy profits. here's one example: hospital chain tenet healthcare. the stock has gone from $17 to $33, up 61% during the past year. "there's another area that people can start getting into now, and that is hmos that specialize in medicaid. not medicare, but medicaid." among the names on arora's buy list: centene corp., molina healthcare and wellcare health plans. arora's fund made money last year, buying several healthcare stocks including hmo company amerigroup for around $22. the stock soared 315% to $91 and is being acquired by well point. a wake-up call for the makers of some popular sleeping pills. the fda is calling on ambien and zolpimist to lower the dosage in its sedatives. studies say the drugs pose a risk to drivers the morning after. drugs

orginals alan knuckman and jared levy. good to have you both back on the show. let's get it started with round one: 1) gold or goldman? which would you buy? > > i like them both. goldman has already had a 50% run-up in just six months, so i think it is a little rich. but the target is $200 a share. gold i think is undervalued here, long forgotten about. i think we could get a quick bounce up to $1,725 to $1,800. > > it is really a time horizon, and i think alan has a point when it comes to gold. he loves everything that goes back to commodities, but i think goldman is the one to watch here. we have got earnings coming out in a little bit. believe it or not, the analyst action in goldman is looking much better than a lot of the analyst action in gold. > > the financials are going to start getting some big payoffs i'm feeling this quarter. > > i would agree. > > they have led the way. but gold, let's not forget about it. it has disappointed a lot of people. that is when you want to look at it. > you're liking the stock of goldman. moving on: worry warts: the vix, the so-called fear gauge, had record trading volume last year, but dropped 35%-plus in price last week. should investors fear not? > > i think first of all, the
4:22 am
vix, you need to look at it in context. i think a lot of people don't understand the vix - probably like my friend alan here. the vix, remember, measures - it is a complex algorithm between the front month and second month calls and puts in the s&p 500. > > the question is what are you afraid of? are you afraid of inflation? are you afraid of a new election? are you afraid of fires? > > i am afraid of fiscal cliff 2. > > are you afraid of the debt ceiling? what are you afraid of now? the market continues to march on regardless, and i am old-school. i look at bonds as an indicator of fear in the marketplace, and bonds sold off four points yesterday, and yields continue to climb on a sign of stability. > > i think the bottom line is, too, if you want to find fear, you are going to find it in individual stocks - not necessarily in the whole market and the vix. look at the puts skews if you are a little bit more of a savvy trader- > > we need individuals like you. > > that's right. > sounds like this market is bulletproof. moving on to round 3) dot com king?: amazon made all-new highs this week. is this the next apple? > > you are a bandwagon guy. what do you think? > > i would say no. it is at all-time forever highs. they really don't make money. and now you have target that is having price matching. > > here is something to think
4:23 am
about. i actually agree with the guy for once. 3000 times trailing earnings is what amazon is trading for. their margins are this thin. you can barely see them. apple on the other hand, very low multiple, huge margins, and they are getting ready to roll out that cheap iphone, which you can afford. > > let's get back to target. everybody loves going to target. spend $200 minimum when you are in there. the p/e ratio on that is about 15 or so - 13. so, it is a good value. buy the july $55 call, which is almost all in the money, for about $5. we're trading at $60. i am looking for this to get to $70. those are the recent highs a couple years ago. so, target i think is a better play. amazon may continue to go up, but someday, it just doesn't make sense- > > sell the amazon, by the target. if you're fancy, you can call it "targé" for fun. > down to the bonus round: much to the happiness of investors, facebook topped $30 this week. true or false: 70% of facebook users live outside the u.s.? > > that is true. > > i would say that's false, but mr. social media would know
4:24 am
that. he has got many names. look at the one with the mustache. > he is right. you are right jared. it is absolutely true. they are an international phenom. good to have you on the show, both of you. > > thanks angie. thanks guys. we'll be right back!

tim biggam of trading block joins us on this friday for the short and the long on the banking sector. good to have you on the show. good morning. let's take a look at some of these banking stocks. are there any out there you would buy right now? > > really not angie, given more of the relative and big relative out-performance of the banking stocks, especially the big money-center banking stocks have had to compare to the overall market here. if you take a look at citigroup, bank of america, j.p. morgan, they all have been just flying forward here. going forward i think they probably got ahead of the game, so i am very cautious on the banks, certainly in comparison to the market, where i am a little bit cautious as well. > give us an example of a banking stock you would short. > > absolutely. citigroup is a
4:28 am
prime example. taking a look at the chart there, it made a big, big move off that low $30s price point - nice consolidation there. but, the stock is up about 30% in just a couple of months here. this is a big money-center bank, so that would certainly be one name, given the fact that everyone has piled in. as we saw with apple, when everyone's kind of unanimous on one side of the trade, it is usually time to be a little fearful, because who is going to be the next buyer if it does start to drop. > speaking of which, i am hearing a lot of traders that are on the downside of the trade with wells fargo, which comes out with earnings today. you never know though. they could be wrong. > > absolutely. they could be wrong. wells fargo is another one that has certainly moved up in unison with the citigroups of the world here. the thing with banks, the loan-loss reserves, what they can manage to kind of smooth their numbers, it's a little bit difficult to drill down and see what they're actually making. but, the core business of most of these banks certainly is not robust,
4:29 am
whether it is investment banking, mortgage lending and underwriting. so their kind of organic growth has stalled out here. given the fact that these things have run up so much and that interest rates have no room really to fall further, i think these things will be in tough sledding going forward. > thank you tim. tim biggam of trading block. > > you bet. thank you angie. that's our show for today. coming up next week, a former derivative trader from jpmorgan will be here spilling secrets about what really happens on the trading floor. from all of us at first business, thank you for watching, and have good weekend!

Minimum? I think it's full-blown, just under different names.
You are right.
Thank you, Battle Pop.
I throw mewling, cuddly kittens.
You are simply wrong about that. Between Jan of 1863 when the EP took effect and Dec. of 1865 when the states ratified the 13th Amendment, over 3 million slaves were freed by the EP. Nearly 100,000 of those freed slaves served in the US Army. Look up Juneteenth to see how every slave in Texas were freed by the EP with the arrival of Union troops in Galvaston.
"The people of Texas are informed that in accordance with a Proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free. This involves an absolute equality of rights and rights of property between former masters and slaves, and the connection heretofore existing between them becomes that between employer and free laborer."Read about this stuff instead or relying on Marxist propaganda that attempts to paint Lincoln as some sort of demon.
-- Major General Gorden Granger, USA.
June 19, 1865, Gavalston Texas.
The bottom line is that the EP freed millions.
He could not issue the proclaimation in the North. Had he done so, it may have pushed the loyal slave states, such as Missouri, into joining the Confederate states. Emancipation in these places had to be done by Constitutional amendment, which Lincoln pushed for. It did not pass until after his murder by a Southern radical.
In short, President Licoln attempted to free those whom he had no control over and leave those in chains that he did.
Exactly the opposite. To his way of view, he had legal authority to free the slaves in the rebelling territories, but the freeing of slaves in the non-rebellious states was up to the legislatures of those states, or the establishment of a Constitutional provision to do so.
Entire generations (black & white) have become accustomed to the soft, sweet, do-nothing life afforded to them via the socialist support network spawned by FDR and cultivated in the fields of LBJ's "Great Society". These souls will continue to find little incentive to pick themselves up by the bootstraps. Lets face it; its easy to be a victim these days. Pity the person who becomes comfortable with their status as a victim.
Institutional racism continues to exist today; of that I have no doubt. However, its form and presentation is not the same; handouts disguised as hand-ups. Not everyone has a conscience (or a work ethic). The institutional racism prevalent today in its present form panders to that. It becomes all the more insidious by virtue of its disguise . . .
On Jan. 1, 1863, U.S. President Abraham Lincoln declared free all slaves residing in territory in rebellion against the federal government. This Emancipation Proclamation actually freed few people. It did not apply to slaves in border states fighting on the Union side; nor did it affect slaves in southern areas already under Union control. Naturally, the states in rebellion did not act on Lincoln's order. But the proclamation did show Americans-- and the world--that the civil war was now being fought to end slavery. Lincoln had been reluctant to come to this position. A believer in white supremacy, he initially viewed the war only in terms of preserving the Union. As pressure for abolition mounted in Congress and the country, however, Lincoln became more sympathetic to the idea. On Sept. 22, 1862, he issued a preliminary proclamation announcing that emancipation would become effective on Jan. 1, 1863, in those states still in rebellion. Although the Emancipation Proclamation did not end slavery in America--this was achieved by the passage of the 13TH Amendment to the Constitution on Dec. 18, 1865--it did make that accomplishment a basic war goal and a virtual certainty.
The above italicized is from a Lincoln admirer and presents some flaws in your argument that Lincoln only acted "constitutionally". Lincoln acted pragmatically, strategically and politically. He freed the slaves when and where he did simply beacuse he wished to, to sate the Radicals, and most importantly to try to damage the infrastructure of the South at which he was at war.
Authority belongs to the one with the power to make it stick. You can assert anything you please, but if you can't walk the walk, all you've got is talk.
My 7 year old claims I have no authority to send him to bed. I assert I do. We fight it out, and, lo and behold, my kid's secession from my authority is found to be imaginary, and my authority was found to have been valid all along.
So, you see that the Emancipation Proclamation really did nothing: it was a fraud, for all intents and purposes.
So, you see, the secession of the slavocrats did nothing; it was a fraud for all intents and purposes. They proved not to have the ability to impose their authority. Who says war never solves anything?
But slaves that chose to free themselves had a place to go closer than Canada or Mexico. And many did.
The EP weakened the rebellion. Your sophistry is moot.
The idea that the EP was a political, pragmatic move doesn't invalidate that it was done in a legal manner.
Moreover, your source is not a statement of fact, but an analysis by somebody. That analysis is based on the opinions of the author and is not a valid proof.
No one who examines the record will have that opinion. Lincoln said over and over and over that it was Union first. He said it plainly before the war; he said it plainly during the war.
But it is also true that the slave power precipitated the war because they knew that slavery was doomed if a man with Lincoln's convictions could get elected.
The loss of their dominance over the federal government dictated the timing of the rebellion.
It just happens to be anti-white.
I think it was Ann Coulter who said Democrats have always been racists. It's just that they changed which race they would demonize.
Not entirely true. Slaves in Missouri and Maryland were freed when those states amended their Constitutions prior to January 1865. Slavery was ended in the District of Columbia during the war, 1862 if memory serves.
Where did I claim what Lincoln's motivations were? I merely pointed out what he was legally entitled to do as CIC did not pertain to the Northern states that had slavery, such as Missouri and Maryland.
Why did he issue the EP? To help win the war, of course. So what? It did help, and was a great moral thing to do in its own right. I'm sure that Lincoln's motives were not unalloyed altruism, but to insist that they must be is to make the best the enemy of the good.
The EP was a good thing. It was a righteous thing. That Lincoln did it is the important thing.
That's a load of garbage if I ever heard one. Lincoln, to his dying day, believed that blacks should be deported back to Africa and to the carribean for and colonization - not exactly the type of thing a "friend" would do.
His anti-slavery politics were also predicated upon the interest of himself and whites, not blacks. As Lincoln stated in his famous Peoria address, he desired to keep slaves out of the territories because he believed that they should be the exclusive domain of white people.
If you want to find a true friend of blacks in the mid 19th century, try Lysander Spooner. Cause beyond him there truly weren't many - even among abolitionist circles.
