This post touches on a topic that many British transsexual people would regard as anathema: men pretending to be women - for laughs. I look at three such men, all now dead, who dressed up and assumed a female persona in the name of Entertainment. Their assumed personas were each different, but all of them were based firmly on British sterotypes.
So Americans might like to look away now: this isn't for you. It isn't drag as done in Las Vegas, or on Broadway. It's stuff for the British sitting room.
The three people I'm looking at were all big names on stage and TV during the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. We've long moved on from that era, and surely wouldn't want to return to it, but that doesn't mean that the humour of the time has completely passed from popular culture. I'd say this kind of humour, from this sort of performer, is now enshrined in British Nostalgic Memory, which is a powerful thing, greater than the Crown, greater than Parliament, and not to be dismissed.
My first selection is Dick Emery (1915-1983). His life and career, surprisingly varied, is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Emery. I knew him primarily from his TV appearances in the 1960s, and I watched him because Mum and Dad watched him. There was no choice about it. They monopolised the only TV in the house. If I was tired of sitting in my bedroom, and wanted to watch something on the box, I had to fall in with what Mum and Dad wanted to see. In those days kids had to negotiate - or plead - with their parents, usually unsuccessfully, for TV time. It was very difficult to watch a particular programme if your parents wanted to see something else, and of course parents never went out anywhere in the evening. Well, mine didn't. My greatest personal triumph of negotiation or pleading was to persuade my parents to watch The Beatles' 1968 Christmas Special, Magical Mystery Tour. You can imagine how it was for me, with shock-horror vibes and negative comments coming from my parents as the admittedly baffling film unfolded. Why was it so full of incomprehensible drug-induced sequences? What was the plot? Wasn't it sad that the Four Lads From Liverpool had sunk to this state? The Beatles' film rendition of I Am The Walrus, in strange costumes, at a forbidding concrete location, and its mockery of policemen, was almost the last straw. To my parents' credit, we did watch it to the end, but their verdict was not favourable, and I never got away with so much at home again. And yet I was expected to put up with Dick Emery.
Mum loved his programmes, but he made me cringe. Here he is:
Clearly a cheerful and swinging-sixties person. I'm not saying that Dick Emery's humour lacked cleverness, but he had a variety of strange characters such as a rather odd vicar. His clear favourites were female characters, one of them a playful sex-starved creature in a shiny blonde wig:
The catchphrase Ooooh, you are awful! is his, and was the title of a film that Wikipedia refers to, in which nude girls' bottoms are a key part of the plot:
This type of humour was not a million miles away from the sniggering innuendos of Leslie Phillips on the classic 1960s radio comedy The Navy Lark, but was at least lighter and defter in execution than Benny Hill's indescriminate gropings of female flesh on contemporary TV. Dick Emery helped to maintain a prevailing view, also exemplified by comedy series such as On The Buses, that normal men could treat women's body parts as nice plump areas to ogle and fondle at will. Something told me it was profoundly disrespectful and demeaning for men to portray women as ridiculous bimbos, especially by dressing up as one and pretending to be sexy and coy in a blonde wig. Don't think me a teenage prig. I was just empathetic towards girls, secretly on their side, but socially separate from them, and unable to openly protest. I was ashamed to be a party to all the ogling, and very unhappy when it was assumed that I eagerly wanted to do the same.
Although empathetic, I did not idolise girls. They clearly weren't perfect beings beyond tarnish or corruption. After all, I'd seen plenty of petulant and selfish girls about. Plenty of ignorant and loud-mouthed and devious girls too. And I knew from casual observation on beaches that pretty girls turned first into pudgy mums, and then into over-tanned fatties with stretch marks, cellulite and scrawny necks. That seemed to be the reality that awaited any teenage girl, no matter how cute.
I even knew what they really looked like with their clothes off. I had one seedy, late-teens experience, never to be repeated, in the company of friends from work. This was to watch a pair of real-life strippers at a pub in Eastleigh. It was sagging boobs in a smoke-filled bar, tired flesh exposed for the delight of raucus, beery, cheering men who nudged and winked and told very dirty jokes. It was sad and exploitative for both performers and voyeurs. It was a timely reality check, so offputting that it quenched my forlorn aspirations to be female for some time. But not forever - even though I knew that I might, if ever magically transformed into a woman, look blousy and flabby, with poor skin; a mere plaything to be leered at, and pinched, by belching men. I long pondered which was the better (or worse) fate: to be male or female?
Strangely, my Mum did not seem purturbed about Dick Emery's blonde impersonations, and she didn't see what was so bad about women's second-class status in society either. She laughed. How could she do that?
My second choice is Danny La Rue (1927-2009). His life and career are at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_La_Rue. He represents the classic British Female Impersonator, and I think his stage and TV persona, gorgeously attired in gowns and feathered hairdresses, remains the iconic depiction of a drag queen, in British eyes anyway. Here he is:
Another performer that Mum went out of her way to watch on TV. She always told me it was the flamboyant, over-the-top costumes that especially appealed. Yes, I can see why. But Danny La Rue's repartee with his audience was just as well-known. In fact he came up in discussion only yesterday evening, over a drink with friends. How he had dealt with a sulky Princess Margaret at a London nightclub. I have no idea whether this is really true in every respect, but the story goes that one night the princess was there, and not in a good mood. Danny La Rue came up to her table and said something sharp and witty and coquettish to her that made her slap him in the face. He immediately slapped her back, hard. She departed haughtily, clearly outraged. But nothing else happened. Well, the story goes on that later that week she came back to the nightclub, but instead of vilifying Danny La Rue, she asked him to forgive her. Make what you can of that! We thought that it was something to do with being larger than life, with playing a part, and feeling beyond normal rules and constraints. Something that might have applied to both performer and princess.
Danny La Rue made me cringe even more, and I rarely watched him. The problem was that although he made no secret that he was impersonating a woman, and was really a man all the time, in his prime he looked too convincing to be comfortable. There was an ambiguity there that went much deeper. Possibly his gayness was adding something that straight man Dick Emery couldn't put in. Maybe, maybe not. I'm sure than ordinary blokes found him extremely embarrassing, a non-subject. My Dad certainly felt lke that. In fact I never, ever heard any man refer to Danny La Rue in any context. This made me think that if ever I could be a girl, I'd have to contend with the mental image that Danny La Rue had created in the nation's psyche. People would automatically assume that all men who felt they were really girls wanted to be Danny La Rue, and would parade around dressed up, and made up, like that. A notion perpetuated by films such as Priscilla Queen of the Desert:
And, I dare say, by the stage version too. With this kept in the mind of the public, it's still hard to educate people that most trans women are rather different.
My third and last selection is Les Dawson (1931-1993), whose life and career are at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Dawson. Les Dawson was essentially a multi-talented Northern Comedian who got typecast as a lugubrious but lovable comedy act and game show host, such as his appearances on the highly successful Blankety-Blank. He also did panto. And he was fond of putting on women's clothes, an ugly male mug in old-fashioned outfits, complete with hat and handbag, a version of the sort of overdressed woman seen at the seaside in the 1950s. Here he is. He often did smile, and he could look (almost) dapper in men's formal wear:
I had more time for Les Dawson. He was funny, and his female characters did not threaten. But they were grotesque to watch. He wasn't trying to do 'female' properly: there was no illusion intended. He wanted you to laugh at Les Dawson dressed ridiculously, and saying (or mouthing) things no woman ever would. It was anti-drag if you like.
Did it help or hinder the cause of womanhood? The characters he played were certainly not sexy bimbos or glamour queens. They shouldn't have been a threat to any young woman's dignity. But it was certainly a parodying of older women. And as an older woman I would now object.
And what of drag now, in 2013? I haven't a clue. It's not my thing, and although you can regularly see drag acts in Brighton, I've not been to see them, nor would I want to. Not even for a laugh.

Thanks to Karen & Gerard Zemeks for posting about Link Within. It's a cool, free application for bloggers that will show related posts from your archives (along with pictures).
I'm going to try it, but my posts are generally shorter, so I don't know if it will look cramped and crowded.
If I have to remove it, I'll just rely on the site search and blog archives so readers can find older posts.
Ok, here goes !!
Update: After asking about any addtional features since I thought my blog looked too crowded with the additional thumbnails, the LinkWithin people were VERY gracious about activating the widget for the individual stories ONLY. So now, the related posts won't show on the home page, but they WILL show on the separate posts !! I'm very pleased with this and wanted to give them a big THANKS !!

Brazil's Fighter of The Year Luan Santiago calls out Ottman Azaitar - Again!
Brazil's Fighter of The Year Luan Santiago calls out Ottman Azaitar - Again!
Two of the most exciting Lightweights on the Brave roster appear to be on a collision course. Luan "Miau" Santiago, who won the prize of Best Fighter in Brazilian MMA for 2016, wants to settle things with Ottman Azaitar inside the cage. The German-Moroccan fighter won one of the most exciting fights in Brave history against Charlie Leary at Brave 4, in Abu Dhabi. The bout is a run-in for Fight of the Year lists for 2017 and was complimented by the likes of Frankie Edgar, who said the fight was an "incredible battle".
After a strong showing by Azaitar, Santiago was keen on getting a matchup with him and called his fellow Lightweight out over social media. This week, after a post by Brave's official Instagram account asking fans who should be next for Ottman, the Brazilian once again went on the attack.
"I should be next! I've been challenging him for some time now. Ottman Azaitar is very good at talking but he does not want to do anything. I'm waiting for you", claimed "Miau".
After amassing three TKO wins in 2016 for local promotions, and being crowned Fighter of the Year at the Osvaldo Paquetá awards, Brazilian Luan Santiago made his debut for an international promotion at March's Brave 3 in his hometown of Curitiba. He showcased his knockout power, putting Ivan Castillo to sleep with ground and pound in the first round.

Capital markets Authority has prioritized I-REITS whose main objective is to collect income in form of rent over D-REITS which are focused on development, construction and selling of Real Estate at a profit. The capital (Kampala) has a housing deficit close to 300,000 units, 1 million city dwellers are scantily housed with 68.5% housing units classified as slums that can't exist for more than 3 year. The future is D-REITS. email@example.com. +256758096306
D-REITS connote a corporation authorized by Capital Markets Authority to own and develop property to dispose it off or collect rent. D-REITS aim at acquiring eligible real estate, investing in development and Construction of the property for purpose of selling it off or renting it out. Marketing of real estate etc.
D-REITS differ from I-REITS though the two are used interchangeably. The requirements for establishment of each differ. Before approval of a D-REITS the investors must be professionals, a minimum of 7 investors is allowable, the minimum subscription of each parcel is UGX 150m (7500 currency points), minimum value of initial assets shall be UGX 5Billion (250,000 Currency points), 25% of the total value shall be free float before the trust is Authorized by CMA.
I-REITS require a threshold of UGX 9 BILLION value of assets to be set up yet D-REITS call for 5 billion this is almost doubles. Most D-REITS aim at disposing of the assets to purchasers this reduces operational cost; investors get a quicker return on the investment upon sale as compared to rental in I-REITS which come in small bites.
Upon sale of the Property in D-REITS operational costs reduce, Tax and other liabilities are transferred to the new landlord. Uganda's Economy is relatively small; investors need to be smart to minimize the cost of investment in order to get the highest return.
Sauces of Raising funds in D-REITS is open according to the REITS regulations 13 ,a trustee may access funds from the public or through debit financing unlike I-REITS which are limited to public offers. This provides D-REITS with a wider pool of resources.
Most Ugandans do not have titled land; according to the Torrens system they don't own land at all. The main objective of D-REITS is to construct and development real estate for sale, upon sale purchasers acquire ownership of land. Why would CMA focus on schemes intended to make Ugandans tenants rather than Landowners.
Mr. Karugaba (Best Commercial Lawyer ULS) says prohibiting charging rent in dollars and analogy system Land registry is among the key challenges to development of REITS. There is hope; the Ministry of Lands is in final stages of computerizing all titles and documents at the registry. This will means that forged fake documents can be sorted out at ago or online. This will solve the issue of defrauding clients.
According to the 2017 Income Tax Amendment act, section 5 prohibits execution of rental agreements in any other currency other than Ugandan shillings; this is only a challenge to international bodies investing in Uganda through I-REITS because they are Rental based. Charging Rent in dollars isn't a challenge per say because it can be mitigated by setting out a standard currency rate as compared to Bank of Uganda rate. The Income Tax amendment act came after landlords were over charging resident tenants exorbitant rent dues in foreign currencies.
Finally D-REITS only involve professional investors this means they are better managed because participants are experienced, exposed, educated and well informed about the sector. Uganda has very few professional investors, it's worsened by rigid pension sector, and it becomes very hard to solicit for professional investors locally. Save for the above mentioned reason, D-REITS still present a clear picture and solution to housing crisis lin.uuUganda as compared to I-REITS. CMA ought to promote both.

Fun things brewing at Bengaluru's Coffee Santhe
More From Leisure »
The fourth edition of Coffee Santhe (market in Kannada) begins Friday in the city. The three-day event, organized by the Women's Coffee Alliance, India chapter (WCA-I), will showcase coffee in all its formats, as Sunalini Menon, its founder-member, likes to put it.
"Most people think of coffee as a filter drink with milk and sugar; they don't understand that you can paint or cook with coffee or use different brewing equipment to get variations of coffee," Menon says. The WCA-I is affiliated to the International Women's Coffee Alliance (IWCA), an organization with 22 global chapters aimed at empowering and connecting women across the coffee value chain.
Coffee Santhe will have 60 stalls showcasing blends and beans produced by small coffee growers, coffee brewing and roasting equipment, a food and coffee pairing workshop, artworks made with coffee paint, and a yoga workshop. "We started out with 25 stalls in 2014. Last year, we got over 3,000 visitors. There are several second- or third-generation coffee planters who participate in the Santhe to reach out to a new audience," says D.M. Purnesh, a member of WCA-I and managing director of the artisan coffee brand Classic Group.
The highlight of the festival, however, is a brewing contest with 19 women baristas from across India. Over two days, they will be required to make a cappuccino, an espresso and a third drink using a specified brewing device with innovative flavour pairing. "Last year's winner, Poonam Kumari, who works for Cafe Coffee Day in Mumbai, was sent to the IWCA summit in Mexico where she was educated on developments in the world of coffee and trained by champions from the World Barista Championship for team competitions held at the summit. She came back so confident," Menon says.
In Bengaluru, a coffee-brewing demonstration on Day 1 is a must for habitual coffee drinkers. "Merlin Raj, the National Barista Champion of 2012 who works as a trainer for the Lavazza coffee company in Dubai, will demonstrate how to use coffee-brewing devices to get different taste profiles," says Radhika Uthappa, president of WCA-I.
Day 3 will also feature a panel of international experts—Mary Allen Lindemann (co-owner of Coffee By Design, a speciality coffee roastery in Maine, US), Spanish coffee consultant Josiana Bernardes Paes and Guatemala coffee grower Dulce Maria Ralda V.—who will talk about some of the latest trends in coffee. Performances by Chikmagalur-based rock fusion band Brahmara and Bharatanatyam artist Padmini Ravi will mark the conclusion of the Santhe.
The proceeds from the Santhe, other than the operating expenses, will be used for the WCA-I's charity initiatives—the education of the daughters of coffee plantation workers in Bababudan, Chikmagalur, Coorg, Biligiris and Sakleshpur, health camps, and a medical health insurance scheme for families.
The Coffee Santhe is being held from 1-3 December, 10am-7.30pm, at Karnataka Chitrakala Parishath, Kumara Krupa Road. Entry is free.

CSA: The Confederate States of America is not as shocking a film as it thinks it is. CSA imagines how the contemporary world might look if the South had won the American Civil War. Interesting premise, though the premise doesn't really go anywhere.
[spoiler alert...] What does the film imagine as the consequences of a Confederate victory? Slavery is legalized throughout the land. Abe Lincoln dons blackface, is taken into hiding by Harriet Tubman, and eventually is captured and exiled to Canada. The Confederate States colonize much of Latin America. South Africa becomes their chief ally. The late nineteenth century? Pretty much manifest destiny on steroids.
Clever and intriguing but once you know the premise, you pretty much have experienced the film. I will say that the narrative structure is smart and effective. CSA takes the form of a British documentary airing on a Confederate tv station for the first time, complete with commercial breaks. The commercials are brilliant.

Today I am selling a lovely Miriam Haskell choker necklace. The focus is on a large layered brass flower, with petals covered in prong set rose montees and a large clear rhinestone prong set in the middle. It is attached to a thick brass snake chain in an unusual way: two large rings are wired together, crimping the snake chain between them. The front ring is also covered in rose montee stones. The ends of the snake chain are capped with filigree brass bead caps studded with rose montees. One side has a hook adorned with a flower once again studded in rose montees, and the other side features an extender formed from brass beads, rose montee rondelles, and a filigree brass ball at the end. The back of the hook is stamped 'Miriam Haskell' and the back of the flower has a oval plaque on it that also says 'Miriam Haskell'.
CONDITION: Very good. Two rose montees are missing from the flower and one is missing from the ring type bail. The remaining rose montees and rhinestones are bright. Minor tarnish to the brass but no verdigris (greening).
CIRCA: 1950s to 1960s
MEASUREMENTS: a little over 17 inches at its longest and the flower is about 1 7/16 inches wide

I love to snack.
This may not be the healthiest snack, but it's a good alternative to chips or cookies for sure. Shout out goes to my friend Carly Miller who introduced it to me over the summer...and I will admit I liked hers better. It was my first try making granola though, so I'll give myself the benefit of the doubt and will try again soon. For the present time, I'm pretty stocked on granola.
I just threw in what I had around the house, and left out the coconut & wheat germ because I didn't have any on hand. In my batch I put in almonds and craisens and I also threw in plain popcorn because I had just popped some and it surprisingly a good addition and not even soggy. I also had to double the sauce to make it all stick together. Another change I made was to use olive oil instead of vegetable oil because it's better for you and it didn't affect the flavor at all.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
4 cups old fashioned oats
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup coconut
1 cup nuts i.e. sunflower seeds, walnuts( I like almonds)
1 cup dried fruit, any kind(I like unsweetend pineapple, apricots...)
Mix all of the above in a large bowl.
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup honey
2 t. vanilla
Heat oil and honey to a rolling boil. Turn off heat and add vanilla. Pour over granola mixture and blend well. Spread on a baking sheet.
Bake for about 15-20 minutes, stirring the granola every 5 minutes while baking to ensure even browning. Watch it closely as it can burn fast. For softer granola do not bake as long. This is a great basic recipe add or subtract ingredients according to your taste. You can use less sugar if you like, increase the amount of wheat germ, add flax seeds, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, cranberries, raisins, it's perfect for experimenting.

Thinking about what makes people feel "Contemporary" in Art was the point of doing this assignment.
I neither teach painting skills in this class nor see artworks with significant conceptual rigor here, but my students visualized their commitment to the class at this early stage USING THE INTERNET when the class was not meeting. I thought the faculty seminar would be interested in seeing it.

Hello and welcome to my blog.
This is going to be my attempt to keep an up-to-date journal of the movies I've seen while trying to complete the list of 1001 must see movies. For reference here is the list that I am basing my viewings on: 1001 Movies You Must See
Here's a little background before we get started. Let me explain the list, there's a book titled "1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die" as you can see it has a very scary picture of Jack Nicholson on the cover from the movie 'The Shining.' You've probably seen it in a bookstore, it's a book published by Barons and edited by Steven Jay Schneider. I hadn't taken much interest in the book in the past, but I had recently been watching a lot of classic films and decided to see how many of the movies I had seen, thinking I would have an impressive number.
This was not the case, when I first talley-ed up the movies I had seen from the list I had only seen 201 of the movies. I was shocked. I've always been a fan of movies, took a couple of classes in college, but I guess I hadn't seen enough of the bigger, more important films. That was when I decided to make a real effort to see more of the films on the list. That and because one of my best friends had bested me by seeing more than twice as many of the movies as me and I had to defeat him. :)
At first, I was a bit haphazard about how I was going to tackle all these movies. I decided to add movies from the list that I had always wanted to see, but put off watching, to my Netflix queue. Let me take this moment to express my love of Netflix and say that it is the main source for the movies from the list. I didn't want to get too involved and just get movies from Netflix from this list, so I continued getting current movies, or TV shows and just staggered in movies from the 1001 list.
From October of 2006 thru around last week (July 2007) I got my number of seen movies up from 201 to 265 and I was having a lot of fun with the project, seeing movies I had always wanted to see and some that sounded interesting to me. But last week I decided that what might make more sense would be to watch the movies in chronological order, so I take away an experience and see how film has progressed and evolved over the years. And I would have more order instead of a hodge-podge of cinema.
So I felt like this blog would help me do a better job of working through the list in order. So here we go! :)

After a few years of looking for something to wear other than skinny jeans (re: the growing popularity of boyfriend jeans, the resurrection of flares, the launch of the relaxed skinny, etc.) we now have an array of options in the denim category (that will not suffocate your thighs). If you're definitely a regular mom (and not a cool mom serving
cocktails mocktails to your high school daughter, named Regina George, and her friends) then you'll appreciate these jeans.
Because I'm always looking for different ways to denim, these mom jeans are oh so satisfying.
WHAT (am I wearing):
Top: Horses Atelier. Jeans: Frame Denim. Shoes: Zara. Sunglasses: Oliver Peoples x The Row. Bag: The Row. Necklace: c/o Shashi.
WHY (am I wearing it):
If you ever see me wearing jeans (either here on CCF or IRL) there's a 90% chance it will be Frame Denim. There's no other brand that fits me best, plus they come out with styles and washes that just work with my life. But to me, denim is like skincare — what works for me might not necessarily work for you (and mom jeans definitely don't work for everyone…which probably includes myself). I did sort of feel like this SNL skit when I first put them on but as long as you don't pair them with Asics and a cat sweater, you should be good. I decided to make it anti-mom with a crop top and some trendy suede mules (which ironically can be considered old lady-ish). I actually repeated this exact outfit over the weekend in Charleston (although there are no Instagrams to prove it…sorry I was too busy enjoying myself) which is a sign I will be wearing this look many more times this spring / summer. I thought it needed just a few more interesting elements which is why I opted for the tassel clutch (which is super fun to swing around, as you can imagine) and a super dark lip (Kourt K…don't judge).
So if you've ever wanted to get yourself in some mom jeans, here's a little outfit inspo to get you started (FUPA and all!)
WHERE (you can get the look):

Helo Furious: My! My! I do find that monica of yours quite smashing! But about your post sir, 6-20-08 11:14:35 am, conserning your version of elder ray and the kind of money you have amassed trading options....Options: such cunning little beasts arnt they? Studied the things for years. Lost money for years.
In your post to these boards you state:
"Bought 1 x SNP July 105 put @$3.40 8:31 am
Sold @ 7.30 at 8:47 am
Bought 3 x ENER June 80 put @ $.98 8:31 am
Sold @ $3.10 at 9:06am"
Eee Gadds! Old thing how stunning. Larry Macmillan and Teresa Lo claim they buy options that are a week to a week and a half from expiration. Well, of course your feat beats that by miles dosent it? I wonder...dear fellow stock fetcher, if you would mind sharing your know how with us members of the great unwashed. How did you manage to buy and within an hour or less sell, an option and make money?
Did you buy the little devils all the way in the money, or what, dear fellow? And thank you for sharing.

My what a floral address...
Yes, ITM. I've been doing this regularly with low-spread, high volume options (BIDU, for e.g.). These are not the cheap $.10 homeruns people usually associate with options. These are rather expensive (the BIDU ones have been around $16), close to expire, and ITM so the moves are often point-for-point with the underlying.
p.s. Who's monica? Did you mean moniker...perhaps pronounced with a British accent?

C'mon...I haven't bathed in a week.
The general idea behind swing trading options that are close to expire is that they've shed almost all of their time value and retain only their intrinsic value. So an ITM option will often move point-for-point with its underlying.
If I had the capital, I would absolutely be trading the underlying stock as it's easier to overcome spreads and small moves can still be profitable. But with limited capital, this is the best way to get leverage and reduce risk...and it is way easier to go short via buying puts than selling.
Some examples from my trades this week:
Bought one LVS Sept40call on Monday the 25th at $3.90
It's now sitting at $7.00...not a point-for-point move, but it's still nearly a month from expire so there is some time value left in it.
A capital investment of 100 shares of LVS would have been around $4000 and the current gain would be $585 (+15% appx) whereas control of the same number of shares for only $390 sits at a profit of $310 (or +80%).
Bought 4xPGNX Sept12.50calls on Monday the 25th at $.80/each
They now sit at a bid of $1.80/each.
If I had bought 400 shares of the underlying, that would be over $4800 capital at risk and a current $672 gain (+13.5% or so).
With the options, I've risked $320...and the gain sits at $400 (or +125%).
I haven't been doing this very long so I'm still getting used to the anxiety that being down anywhere from 5 to 25% immediately on entering an order invites. But tight spreads (nothing more than $.20) and decent option volume (at least 100 but preferably more) can help limit that. I'm not shooting for huge gains (which is obvious from my small positions) but rather for getting more comfortable with stock selection and finding good entries. A stock can make a decent move in one day but if you've bought an option at the wrong time that day, you might only have dug partway out of a hole by the EOD.

Oh...and before you scratch your head, the PGNX 12.50 call was not actually ITM when I bought it, but sometimes I'll live dangerously if it's close enough and I think there's a pretty good chance it will be there in a day or two.

Furious!....Sence my last post I have been taking more than a good look at the first 2 trades you spoke of on 6/20/08. SNP 105 put. And then, of course there is the "other one"
I must say Furious, that "other one" sent me into absolute fits of laughter for days on end. My neighbors have been looking at me rather strangely ever sence. Me thinks they contemplate having the old boy committed. My pets have been acting strangely also. Bilbo, my canary, very casually open the cage door, took dead aim and threw herself at the cat.
Why all the laughter? It conserns that smashing job you did in purchasing the 80 put on ENER. Cant help loving this war story. Furious, ever sence I read your post on that trade I wondered, how in the name, of all thats, etc., etc., could a stock that was about $66 have a put option of .98. Then I pulled up the chart on sf for that date and WAM'MO! Theirs the answer.

Furious: The puts for ENER were cheap beacause you bought them when close was on the rise--did'nt you Furious? You little devil! Even now I'm still laughing like hell. Close was still 2 days from resistance. That 80 put must have put you itm by about $14. You mentioned tight spreads no more than .20. Did you mean between bid/ask? Also, please give more details, ie., when bought what was iv doing. What was bid and ask on entry. I'm very interested in iv thats very important. Do you have any favorite filters in the archives I could look up. How about ibd100, do you find it good for picks?

ENER opened at $80.38 on June 20th (not $66). I don't have intraday data that far back but I'm guessing it dropped quickly as my exit was within an hour of the open. Low of the day was $76.30 which likely came within that first hour...nearly a $4 move in the underlying and I picked up a $2+ move on the option which was close to expire (note, it was a June put...and on June20th, that was expire day--hence the price) and ITM...the kind of move I was describing before. If anything, looking at it's subsequent move over the next couple weeks, I should have exercised but I'm not in the mode of holding equity liabilities as my goal is short-term gain on near-term options.
W/r/t IBD100: gave up on IBD but used it as a learning tool from back in Sept07 until July08. I couldn't stomach the slobbering tirades they passed off as editorial content plus, it's just not an investor's market atm. O'Neil's books were good for when I was just starting to learn about the markets and I know a lot of that material now and could drop into a CANSLIM mode whenever (and if) the market ever stabilizes.
I have been using some of WSG's filters to find stocks (projection oscillator, absolute bottom) but like every filter, that's only a starting point. I've shelved the Elder Ray as a pullback filter but have really found bullpower/bearpower divergences to be helpful in screening results. TRO's filters are great, especially the big movers as those can really...well, move. I add my own criteria for my purpose which usually involves stocks above $10, above 500,000AV, and obviously optionable stocks. Unfortunately, most of the runners scare the crap out of me because they really swing big in either direction. I'm sure I'll man up one day and actually dive into JRCC...

And w/r/t IV: haven't the faintest idea what IV was doing on ENER back in June; nor do I generally pay much attention to it now. I'm sure as my trading gets more sophisticated, it might play a role, but as it stands, it seems secondary to the way I'm using options (i.e., swing trading). The more important factors are volume, liquidity, and where the momentum of the underlying is pointing. With adequate open interest, volume and underlying move, the IV number won't give me any more important info.

I want to stand up for myself. I want to be me, not someone else. But you never let me. You, of all people, judge me whenever I be myself. I was supposed to trust you. I loved you because you said you loved me, not the person you wanted me to be. You were supposed to love the real me. Why did you decieve me? Why can't I be me? Why can't you love me like before? Why must I be who I'm not? Please, if you loved me you would let me be me. But I guess I was wrong, wasn't I? You just wanted me to be someone else? I deserve someone who loves me for me. Not for what they want me to be. Not for what they want. I will not change for you. I will never change. If you don't like it, then I am sure someone else, who loves me for me, will come along. Then I will be happy. Because there is no way I am changing for someone who wants me to be someone else. No one should change for someone. If they want you to change into something else then you should let them go find the person they want. You shouldn't have to change for someone. This is from the thoughts of someone waiting for the right guy to come along who doesn't want to change her. Because she won't change herself to be accepted. Because she doesn't have to. Period. You are you. Never change that.
Never Change Yourself For Someone Else

Not only is it hard trying
Not only is it hard trying to make sense of these confusing and unkind feelings ... it's usually followed by feeling guilty about having them in the first place! It's so important to recognize and understand what motivates the emotions in the first place. Thanks for your honest and constructive piece.

When Jimmy Kimmel gives celebrities a chance to read Mean Tweets on Jimmy Kimmel Live, it seems like a moment behind the curtain. You're almost certain that some of these celebrities have never actually read any of the hate they've received online before, so it adds to that mystique behind it. Not the same in his latest entry in the series.
Kimmel gets some of YouTube's biggest creators and lets them read some of the meanest, funniest things that have been written about them online. Grace Helbig, Markiplier, The Vlogbrothers Green, and more all stop by to poison their minds with Twitter hatred. And unlike celebs like Sean Penn or Charlize Theron, you can almost guarantee these folks have seen similar or worse during their time online. In fact, just go read any random YouTube comment section on their videos.
The most bitter one here is likely seeing Jesse Wellens and Jeana Smith from BFvsGF right before (or after) they had broken up. It isn't like they've stopped posting videos or anything, but the hate just seems to pile on a bit now that their prank days together have ended.

Taquilla 1 & 2
Starring John Travolta, Nikki Blonsky, Amanda Bynes, Christopher Walken, Queen Latifah, Michelle Pfeiffer, James Marsden and Allison Janney.
Adam Shankman's adaptation of the stage musical Hairspray, itself an adaptation of the non-musical John Waters film of the same name, stars Nikki Blonsky as Tracy Turnblad, an overweight high-school student whose only dream is to be on a local Baltimore teen dance program. While her father (Christopher Walken) tells her to follow her dreams, her mother Edna (John Travolta in drag) reminds her that she doesn't look like the girls on that show. After impressing the show's host (James Marsden), Tracy earns a coveted spot on the program, but when she becomes a popular addition to the cast, she earns the wrath of the prettiest girl in school - a girl whose mother (Michelle Pfeiffer) just happens to operate the local television station. Tracy's visit to detention hall opens her eyes to the racial tension on the show, as does the budding relationship between her best friend (Amanda Bynes) and an African-American boy named Seaweed (Elijah Kelley). Thus empowered, Tracy attempts to integrate the races on her favorite program.

El Club De Los Suicidas
Spain, 2006. Con Lucía Jiménez, Fernando Tejero y Luis Callejo.
Una comedia negra que cuenta las aventuras más o menos cotidianas de un grupo de hombres y mujeres que se conocen en una terapia de la seguridad social para suicidas. Todos los personajes de la película han intentado acabar con sus vidas por diferentes motivos y todos han fracasado en el intento. El rumbo de sus existencias cambia radicalmente al caer en sus manos una vieja edición de la novela "El club de los suicidas", de Robert Louis Stevenson. De pronto, la luz se hace para ellos. Y deciden imitar a los héroes del relato original, creando ellos su propio club secreto. Sólo que en lugar de en el Londres del siglo XIX, estamos en Madrid en pleno año 2006. Y en vez de una mansión entre la niebla, nuestros protagonistas montan su club en un destartalado almacén chino de un "todo a cien". El objetivo del club es muy sencillo: matarse los unos a los otros. Pero dentro de un orden, claro. Se reúnen una noche a la semana. Y juegan a las cartas. El que gana debe morir. Y el que pierde debe matarle en el plazo de siete días. Entonces será cuando descubran que matarse a uno mismo es muy complicado, pero matar a otra persona es aún más difícil. Antonio (Fernando Tejero) se convierte en involuntario maestro de ceremonias del club y debe poner todo su empeño para que la cosa funcione, y para que todos vayan matándose dentro del plazo acordado.

The Invasion
Starring Nicole Kidman, Daniel Craig, Jeremy Northam and Jeffrey Wright.
The mysterious crash of the space shuttle leads to the terrifying discovery that there is something alien within the wreckage. Those who come in contact with it are changing in ominous and inexplicable ways. Soon Washington DC psychiatrist Carol Bennell (Nicole Kidman) and her friend, Dr. Ben Driscoll (Daniel Craig), learn the shocking truth about the growing extraterrestrial epidemic: it attacks its victims while they sleep, leaving them physically unchanged but strangely unfeeling and inhuman. As the infection spreads, more and more people are altered and it becomes impossible to know who can be trusted. Now Carol's only hope is to stay awake long enough to find her young son, who may hold the key to stopping the devastating invasion.
Taquilla 5
Michael Clayton
Starring George Clooney, Tom Wilkinson, Tilda Swinton, Sydney Pollack and Katherine Waterston.
Michael Clayton (George Clooney) is an in-house "fixer" at one of the largest corporate law firms in New York. A former criminal prosecutor, Clayton takes care of Kenner, Bach&Ledeen's dirtiest work at the behest of the firm's co-founder Marty Bach (Sydney Pollack). Though burned out and hardly content with his job as a fixer, his divorce, a failed business venture and mounting debt have left Clayton inextricably tied to the firm. At U/North, meanwhile, the career of litigator Karen Crowder (Tilda Swinton) rests on the multi-million dollar settlement of a class action suit that Clayton's firm is leading to a seemingly successful conclusion. But when Kenner Bach's brilliant and guilt-ridden attorney Arthur Edens (Tom Wilkinson) sabotages the U/North case, Clayton faces the biggest challenge of his career and his life.
Taquilla 6
Superbad (Supersalidos)
Starring Jonah Hill, Michael Cera, Seth Rogen, Bill Hader and Christopher Mintz-Plasse.
A coming-of-age cautionary tale about two socially inept teenage boys about to graduate high school. Theirs is a ridiculously dependent friendship -- but now they've gotten into different colleges and are forced to contemplate life apart. Evan (Michael Cera) is sweet, smart, and generally terrified. Seth (Jonah Hill) is foul-mouthed, volatile, and all-consumed with the topic of human sexuality. This is the story of their misguided attempts to reverse a lifelong losing streak with the ladies in one panic-driven night... that awful, humiliating night you cherish for the rest of your life.
Taquilla 7
Waitress (La Camarera)
Starring Keri Russell, Nathan Fillion, Cheryl Hines, Adrienne Shelly, Jeremy Sisto and Andy Griffith.
When Jenna (Keri Russell), a waitress in a cheery southern diner, discovers that she's pregnant, she doesn't exactly jump for joy. Motherhood was never in her plans, and she's already saddled with her needy, jealous and infantile husband Earl (Jeremy Sisto). At first, things seem hopeless and her dreams for a better life are in ruins, until a good-looking doctor (Nathan Fillion) arrives in town and mixes things up. With the support and love of her friends and co-workers (Adrienne Shelly, Cheryl Hines) at Joe's Pie Diner, Jenna exhibits her skills with crusts and fillings which are particularly appreciated by Joe himself (Andy Griffith). She then gains the courage to create the life of her dreams.

The two sides of the draw at the Florida Spring Break tournament in Tampa, Florida had different quarter finals, as those on top of the draw went three straight and those on the bottom of the draw were five game matches, where the victory came back after dropping the first two games.
The International Racquetball Tour's (IRT's) top player Kane Waselenchuk defeated Tony Carson in three straight games, 11-4, 11-4, 11-4, and 4th seed Jose Rojas also won in straight games, beating Jose Diaz, 11-7, 11-3, 11-2. They'll meet in one of the semi-finals on Saturday.
IRT #2 Rocky Carson and Ben Croft will face off in the other semi-final, after both came back from two game deficits to win their respective quarter finals. Carson beat Chris Crowther, 10-12, 6-11, 11-0, 11-7, 12-10, and Croft defeated 3rd seed Alvaro Beltan, 8-11, 4-11, 11-9, 11-2, 11-7.
Croft's win was an upset by the seedings, but for much of the match it was Croft who was upset, as he felt several calls by the referee were incorrect. His frustration got the better of him in game two, as he was behind 8-6, but then proceeded to be assessed technicals on three consecutive rallies for hitting the ball into the back glass wall in the direction of the referee.
Nevertheless, Croft built a big lead in game three, as he went up 9-3 and then 10-4. Beltran fought back and pecked away at Croft's lead, including fighting off three game points, as he cut the score to 10-8. But that was as close as Beltran got to winning the game and the match, as Croft finished off the third game, 11-8, and then used that momentum to win games four and five.
Crowther started out well in his match with Rocky Carson, as he won the first two games using his strong drive serve, which he often hit to the right side - Carson's forehand. But momentum changed in game three, as Carson ran the table winning 11-0.
In game four, Crowther led 7-5, when Carson was assessed a technical for disputing a call, making the score 7-4. But that seemed to inspire Carson, as he went on a four point run to take an 8-7 lead, at which point Crowther called time out.
The time out was to no avail, however, as Carson closed out the game, 11-7, to force a tie-breaker. In the breaker, Carson led through the early part of the game at 4-1 and 8-4. But then Crowther put a six point streak together to give him match point at 10-8.
Yet Crowther couldn't close it out in two opportunities, as Carson held him off and put a four point streak of his own to win the game, 12-10, and take the match in five games.
The IRT Network will web-cast the semi-final matches from Tampa beginning at 4 PM EST Saturday. The final will be noon on Sunday, but remember that is the day clocks in North America are turned ahead one hour for daylight savings.

"Celia had not spent her afternoon at the parade. Instead, she had been in her small, cold, back bedroom on the third story, attending to various worn garments which needed mending. They had been spread out on the bed in a row, and she had gone steadily down the line putting a few stitches here, a button there and setting in a patch in another, counting every minute of daylight hoping to finish her work before it faded, for the gas in her room was dim, the burner being old and worn out. She tried to be cheerful over the work. She called it her 'dress parade.' She knew it was the best way in which to accomplish as much as she wished to do."

Dear Ann Landers: This is for "Trysting in Texas," who tried to justify her cheating with a married man by blaming his wife.
It's easy to be glamorous when you spend only 5 percent of your time with your married lover. You don't have to wash his clothes, see that his suits are pressed, take care of his mother who has had a stroke or bury the family dog that died while he was away on business.
