Anyone who invests in the stock market knows share prices can go up — and down. That's why they call it a market.
Still, this year, price movements have been fast and furious — shocking investors and prompting many to fear "volatility."
The Chicago Board of Options Exchange tracks the speed of price movements using its Volatility Index, or VIX. The new year has sent the VIX soaring, in contrast to last year's unusually smooth performance.
"People talk about the VIX as the 'Worry Index,' " said Jonathan Lewis, chief investment officer at Samson Capital Advisors. "Volatility rises when people get surprised" and decide they suddenly must change their investment decisions, he said.
"Volatility is the market's way of expressing concern that the data and policy pronouncements aren't coming in the way everyone had been expecting," Lewis said.
A volatile market could be driven by good news or bad, so volatility by itself doesn't tell us much. But combine speed with direction — and you have a tale to tell. At this point, the story of 2014 is just sad.
Lewis said that as January began, most investors and analysts were expecting 2013's trends to continue. That is, they believed stock prices would continue to edge up and volatility remain low.
But on Jan. 10, the Labor Department stunned investors by saying that in December, employers had created only 74,000 jobs. That was far fewer than the 200,000 new jobs most economists had been predicting.
"The year began on a sour note," Lewis said. The bad jobs report "cracked people's certitude about where the economy was going."
Since then, the surprises have kept coming. In recent weeks, reports have suggested that the global economic outlook is darkening. Data showed corporate profits may be weakening, manufacturing slumping, auto sales slowing and home sales cooling. Overseas, China is slowing and many emerging markets seem to be heading for big trouble.
All of that has prompted many investors to try to lock in last year's gains before they shrink too much. So they are selling stock, driving prices are down by roughly 7 percent since Jan. 1, as measured by the Dow Jones industrial average.
Lewis says the next big surprise could come on Friday. That's when the Labor Department will release the job-creation data for January. If it surprises economists on the upside, then the VIX may have another big day — but for good reasons as people race to buy shares.
"It can spike for negative reasons — and it can spike for positive reasons," he said.
Fran Kinniry, a principal of the Vanguard Investment Strategy Group, said small investors should try not to overreact if the Friday report brings more bad news. He noted that exactly five years ago, the Dow Jones industrial average was getting pummeled during the peak of the Great Recession.
The Dow average dropped below 7,000. Even now, after weeks of losses, it is still well above 15,000.
"In 2008 and 2009, we saw volatility that was unprecedented," he said. "It would have been disastrous if you had acted on that" and sold all of your stock at the bottom of the market.
The people who stayed invested and rode out the volatile period got back their money and moved ahead, he said.
Kinniry said the key to successful investing is to put money into the stock market only if "you can stomach the volatility and stay the course for the long term."

When Frog Prince and I moved in to our house 6 months ago today, we had a blank slate in our kitchen. After our remodel, we have been trying out different ways to arrange our kitchen dishes, utensils and small appliances for maximum efficiency.
Please tell me I'm not the only one who arranges and re-arranges trying to find the best use for the space?!
Today, I want to share with you the top three things that have really worked for us to organize our kitchen:
1. Clean utensil drawers.
When I have a limited amount of time to get a recipe together, the last thing I want to do is spend time looking all over for that missing Tablespoon! Or, that missing garlic press I mentioned on Facebook. Which, I did end up finding -- behind the bread machine in the pantry closet. Anyway, I digress. Having clean, organized drawers is a must for us.
We lined our drawers with a shelf liner, and used an old Velveeta cheese box (and by old, I mean 5+ years old, since we haven't had Velveeta in our house for that long!) to hold our measuring spoons and meat thermometer. Corralling those loose items in one space makes the drawer look much nicer.
2. Easy Access Baking Supplies
We use a lot of flour and baking supplies, so I want these items to be easily accessible. Arranged on two pull-out drawers in our new kitchen cabinet are 8 flour storage containers. I find these Oxo storage containers so much easier to work with than torn flour bags. Each 4-quart square canister holds a 5lb bag of flour.
I labeled them using our label maker and have them organized for easy access - with the wheat flours in the front, the bread and all purpose flour behind them, and the sugars, oats and powdered milk on the lower shelf.
3. Menu Plan Central
Tucked along the side of our refrigerator is a posting of our weekly menu plan. Menu planning significantly reduces dinner time stress, decreases our food budget, encourages fellowship of Frog Prince and I in the kitchen, promotes healthier eating and saves us from that dreadful 5pm question, "Honey, what's for dinner?!"
Frog Prince gave me this rotating menu plan dry erase board a few years ago and I love it. Each Thursday night, Frog Prince and I take a few minutes to menu plan. This is often determined by (1) what we have that we would like to use up, (2) what's on sale, and (3) what we're interested in eating. You can read more about how we menu plan here, if you'd like.
We record our menu items on the calendar and place it on the side of the fridge, clearly visible as a reminder (oh, yeah, I need to start the crockpot before work) first thing in the morning.
Over the coming weeks, I'll continue to give you sneak peaks into our kitchen -- how it's organized and how we store healthy foods in our space. But today, I'd like to finish up this post with an organizing kick-start giveaway!
I'm sure many of you know Laura, The Organizing Junkie, and are inspired by her organization. Well, she has just authored a book about organizing called Clutter Rehab, and I have FOUR free, signed copies for you!
In addition, I also have 3 copies of Laura's (The Heavenly Homemaker) book all about kitchen organizing - Do the Funky Kitchen e-book.
Entering is easy. Just leave a comment on this post identifying the area you would start organizing first in your kitchen!

From the April 6, 2009, Princeton Weekly Bulletin
In a rehearsal room in the Woolworth Center of Musical Studies, students are blowing into their instruments, flicking hands over finger holes, shaking heads, and dipping chins up and down to create different sounds. Playing a few basic recitations absorbs all their concentration, as most in the class first picked up the instrument a few weeks prior and only a handful are experienced musicians.
This immersion into new musical territory is the mission of the course "Masterworks for the Zen Flute: Music for Shakuhachi," in which students across disciplines have the opportunity to play the shakuhachi, a Japanese bamboo flute, and to study its history and culture. The class is cross-listed in the departments of comparative literature, East Asian studies and music, and is co-taught by comparative literature professor Thomas Hare and visiting fellow Riley Lee, the first non-Japanese to attain the rank of shakuhachi grand master.
"From the very start, we thought if we were going to do a course on shakuhachi we would have to give the students some hands-on experience," said Hare, the William Sauter LaPorte '28 Professor in Regional Studies.
The shakuhachi traces back in Japanese culture to the eighth century, though its mellow timbre may be unfamiliar to many Western ears. With just five finger holes and no mouth piece, the end-blown bamboo pipe is a simply constructed instrument that can make infinite sounds.
"Learning to play the shakuhachi helps you understand the instrument's role in performance, of course, but it also provides some vantage on social class and social change. It represents one facet of the relation between the arts and Buddhism in traditional Japan and comes to show how these structures in turn have an effect on the music proper," said Hare, who himself began learning shakuhachi nine years ago.
Introduced into the country from China centuries before, the shakuhachi thrived in contemporary Japan, most prominently in the 16th and 17th centuries through its association with Zen Buddhist monks. Shakuhachi means 1.8 feet — the instrument's standard length.
Class lectures are split between Hare discussing the instrument in Japanese mythology, religion, literature and arts, and Lee teaching traditional shakuhachi repertoires through Western and non-Western musicological perspectives. Students also attend weekly music lessons with Lee, an American-born ethnomusicologist who has traveled the world performing and teaching shakuhachi.
"Of course the students are not going to become superb musicians in just one semester, but they certainly will have a much better appreciation for the instrument than they would if we just talked about it in lectures," said Lee, a Class of 1932 Fellow in Comparative Literature in the Council of the Humanities.
Only a few of the 18 students are music majors, with others representing departments including anthropology, comparative literature, East Asian studies and mathematics.
"It's just one of those classes that you have to take after reading the syllabus," said junior Lauren Ledley, who is not a musician. "It's wonderful to have a teacher like Dr. Lee come from outside the community to expand what you're learning and make it more hands-on."
Ledley, an anthropology major, said learning shakuhachi has helped inform another class she is taking about Zen Buddhism.
Mathematics major Siddharth Bhaskar said the class builds upon his hobbies playing the tin whistle and Irish flute.
"The shakuhachi is challenging to learn, but it's a lot of fun. Practicing doesn't feel like class work," said Bhaskar, a senior.
During a recent lecture, discussion moved from references to the shakuhachi in Japanese mythology to its place in historical medieval texts, including an early citation to a piece of shakuhachi music in the diary of a Buddhist priest. Hare noted how the piece "Mujô Shinkyoku" — meaning "that single tune which brings the changing heart of things to mind" — shows the shakuhachi's connection to the Buddhist value of transience.
On the following day, small groups of students experienced firsthand the music's changeable nature while learning the piece "Honshirabe." Unlike much Western music, classic shakuhachi repertory was an oral tradition, leading to changes in the music as pieces were passed down and to imprecise scores that serve as an outline rather than a prescription. The only way to learn traditional shakuhachi music, Lee noted, is to hear a teacher play a piece over and over again.
"Notice I came back up on that note," Lee said as he finished playing a phrase for the students to repeat. "It doesn't say that in the notation, but now you know to do that."
With more weeks of insight into the traditional and technical aspects of the shakuhachi, Hare and Lee hope the semester will culminate with a small student recital.
Senior Folasade John said she values the rare opportunity to gain exposure to the shakuhachi and its history.
"I'm not sure I will be so lucky to have this chance again," said John, a comparative literature major and former flute player. "We are learning how to play an instrument many of us would not have picked up without this course and also are getting an experience that we can build upon after we leave Princeton."

Now streaming on:
Here are three characters in the multi-ethnic Stockholm underworld, each with his own murky idea of ethical behavior, each with his own personal reason for trying to do the right thing, even if that thing might seem immoral to others — and even, of course, if it is illegal.
This tangle of motivations makes "Easy Money" one of the most involving of the many first-rate thrillers that have come recently from Scandinavia. It has additional interest because it stars Joel Kinnaman, known to American TV audiences as the star of AMC's "The Killing." Kinnaman, who is seamlessly multilingual, has been signed to star in a forthcoming remake of "Robocop," and seems on the brink of stardom.
In the movie, he plays Johan Westlund, known as J.W., an impoverished student from a town in the north of Sweden, who feels out of his depth in the snobbish culture of Stockholm's financial wheeler-dealers. But he wants to be accepted by them. He is a gifted student, understands numbers and to impress the upper crust, lies about his family and conceals his poverty. They would be surprised to learn he drives a cab.
The second principal figure is Jorge (Matias Varela), who pulls off a daring prison break and arrives desperate at the home of his pregnant sister. Her husband knows all about Jorge's association with the cocaine business and has banned him from their home, but the sister lets him stay a few days. His enemies find him, and he is beaten by men working for the Serbian crime lord Radovan (Dejan Cukic).
The third protagonist is Mrado (Dragomir Mrsic), who becomes more sympathetic as we learn he was beaten as a child and is determined at all costs to shelter his little daughter, Lovisa, from the brutality he still experiences in his own life.
These three become involved in a labyrinth of dealings with the underworld. After Jorge is beaten, J.W. picks him up in his cab, has sympathy and takes him back to his tiny students' dorm room. It is from here that J.W., always particular about his appearance, always well-dressed, stages his forays into the world of the wealthy. As a cab driver, he often works for two Arab criminals, Abdulkarim and Mahmoud. Now he and Jorge become involved in their scheme to steal a shipment of cocaine the Serbs are bringing in from Germany.
Oh, it grows deeper. At the same time, the financial whiz J.W. is recruited by the Serbs for his money-laundering skills and intrigues them with the idea of purchasing a nearly bankrupt bank and using it as a front. So now he's working both for and against the Serbs.
If this sounds complex, it is. One of the strengths of Daniel Espinosa's film is how much clarity he brings to his story. His underlying interest is always in the motivations of his leading characters. In many crime movies, the characters are inspired by simple greed. Here we have J.W. trying to climb out of poverty and provincial obscurity; Jorge hoping to redeem himself in the eyes of his sister, and Mrado trying to construct a secure future for his daughter.
Always present, if not precisely stated, is that for all three of these outsiders, crime is the only avenue they can imagine to escape from their situation and become independent. The film makes it clear that Sweden is not quite the egalitarian state we imagine, but a nation where money, family and class still function as they do anywhere else. J.W. becomes keenly aware of this after falling in love with Sophie (Lisa Henni), a rich, young socialite. She loves him, too — but thinks he is the son of a diplomat. He knows clearly that if she saw him driving cab, sheltering an escaped prisoner in his dorm room and plotting to intercept a shipment of cocaine, her love would evaporate.
What is it about Scandinavia that has inspired such a stream of top-rate thrillers? Its novelists have been fascinated by the crime genre (this film is based on a novel by Jens Lapidus, soon to be published here). What remains consistent in the thrillers from this part of the world is they remain devoted to characters and their inner motivations. The people in these movies are not simply avatars moving through chases and shootouts. How novel.

Rule #1 - Be Patient - Rule #2 - Don't ask when, if you don't contribute - Rule #3 - You have coding skills - LinuxMCE's small brother is available: http://www.agocontrol.com
That makes sense but why when I touch the buttons on the ipod does it not doing anything? I guess my main problem is I can't do anything on the ipod except see/view the standard linuxmce interface which is what I'm used to on a pc web orbitor or a web browser... The app is nice for full screen viewing on the ipod and would like to control things like I do on the computer.... I turned on the load indicator and when I touch the screen no matter where/what button it just seems to refresh like F5 when refreshing a web page.Thanks.
8.10 final to be specific. thanks again
I wasn't able to get this working yet but I am going to try LinuxMCE 10 as soon as I can get it installed. If it works I'm just going to use that and move everything over to 10. I am sure it's going to be worth the move anyway
Wow... You guys are going to think I'm stupid or something...All along I was selecting iphone(480x320)and I should be selecting iphone4(960x640) since I have the ipod4... Cant believe I spent so much time on something so simple. Works great now.Thanks again for all your time in helping me with this.

Who needs jocks when you've got Jennifer Hudson and Amy Poehler?
That seems to be the message coming out of the White House following a star-studded meeting yesterday led by White House Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett. Its mission: Figure out how to help promote the Affordable Care Act.
Among those reportedly in attendance: Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson, Emmy nominee Amy Poehler, actors Michael Cera and Kal Penn, and reps for Oprah Winfrey, Alicia Keys, and Bon Jovi.
The goal of the meeting, which featured a drop-by from President Obama himself, was to share ways to get Hollywood's help in reaching out to a younger demographic to sign up for health insurance starting this fall.
This comes less than a month after the NFL rejected the Obama administration's plan to recruit pro football stars in the effort. That came after the GOP's top two senators sent what could be deemed a threatening letter to NFL officials.
"Given the divisiveness and persistent unpopularity of this bill, it is difficult to understand why an organization like yours would risk damaging its inclusive and apolitical brand by lending its name to its promotion," wrote Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ken., and GOP Whip John Cornyn of Texas.
Mike Farah, president of the comedy website , told Shots that "I would love nothing more than for them to send us a letter like that."
Farah was at the White House meeting Monday (his first in the actual West Wing, he said) and pronounced it "awesome." He says he finds it odd that senators would "actually send a letter trying to discourage a group from paying attention to a new law."
He said he's personally excited about the impact that FunnyorDie, with its estimated 60 million video views per month, might be able to make in informing its mostly younger audience about the need to sign up for health insurance.
"Kids aren't thinking about health care the way they should," he said. "It should become like safe sex or putting on your seat belt. It's not that big of a deal."
Of course, in the hands of FunnyorDie it's likely to be, well, funny. The writers are known for their topical and sometimes political humor, including (questionably tasteful) 2008 and 2012 get out the vote videos for Obama starring Sarah Silverman.
Farah's on the road this week, but says his writers should get to work next week on their Obamacare videos. He wouldn't disclose any possible stars, but said to expect the first round of health-related humor sometime in mid to late-August.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Devin McCourty made several costly mistakes at cornerback. At safety, the New England Patriots lost both starters to injury.
So they shifted McCourty to safety and, suddenly, the Patriots prospects at both positions look brighter.
A Pro Bowl player as a rookie in 2010, McCourty's athleticism and knowledge of the defense have made the transition easier to a position he played his first two seasons at Rutgers.
"Dev's a great athlete," safety Steve Gregory said. "He's a smart football player. He understands what we're trying to do as a defense and he has the ability to play any position in the secondary, so he's done a great job."
He wasn't doing so great at cornerback this year.
Several times he didn't turn to face the ball when a receiver went up for it. He was called for pass interference penalties — one that led to the winning field goal on the final play of a 31-30 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
But Gregory has missed the last four games with an injured hip and the other starting safety, Patrick Chung, has been sidelined two games with a shoulder injury. Both practiced on a limited basis this week and could be ready when the Patriots (5-3) play the Buffalo Bills (3-5) on Sunday.
If they're not, and maybe even if they are, McCourty would start his third straight game at safety.
He played there a bit last year and said he has no preference — "whatever they tell me to play" — but it's "cool" to get a wider view of the field playing deeper and in the middle at safety.
"It's different," he said. "You get used to seeing more of the field and I think you have more of a responsibility since you have that viewpoint to let everyone else know, because I know when you're playing corner it's not as easy to see the different things that you see on film when you're on just that side of the field. So I try to just communicate and let guys know if I see anything from film study that might happen (and) just send that alert out."
As a first-round draft choice out of Rutgers, McCourty had seven interceptions as a rookie. But he had just two last season before some poor games at cornerback this year.
The secondary seemed headed for another one when it allowed Sam Bradford's 50-yard touchdown pass to Chris Givens on the first series of the Patriots most recent game. But St. Louis didn't score again and they beat the Rams 45-7 in London two weeks ago.
McCourty spent part of the bye week in Montvale, N.J., where Superstorm Sandy knocked out power to his mother's house. He bought her a generator before the power came back on Tuesday. By that time, McCourty was back in Foxborough, preparing to play wherever coach Bill Belichick wants him.
"He's pretty good at everything," Belichick said. "He's a good tackler. He's fast. He's instinctive. He has a good feel for the game wherever you put him in terms of leverage, angles, decisions, that kind of thing. He's smart. He has the mental flexibility to go back and forth between assignments."
And he's willing to do that.
"He's a selfless player who just wants to do whatever he can to help the team win," safeties coach Brian Flores said. "He has all the traits: he communicates, he's a focused player, he's smart, he does a lot of things well. He can make that transition. A lot of guys can't. I'm happy to have him."
He's not the only one.
With three rookie draft picks starting or substituting in the secondary — safeties Tavon Wilson and Nate Ebner and cornerback Alfonzo Dennard — McCourty's settling influence is significant, especially with Gregory and Chung sidelined.
"I feel like Devin helped me out a lot," Wilson said. "He's kind of like a big brother to me back there and he keeps things calm because there's so many young guys back there."
The makeup of the secondary will change next week when Aqib Talib, acquired from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week, will be eligible to return after a four-game suspension for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances.
"This week we've got to just focus on who's here and what we have to do to get a win," McCourty said, "and then, I think, next week when all that comes into play, it'll really help us out."
It also could mean more time at safety for McCourty once Talib gets acclimated — a process McCourty could speed up with his experience at cornerback.
"I have a good knowledge of, especially for our corners, what they're doing," he said. "So I think a little bit of that helps where I can say things and I communicate with them to let them know I'm on the same page as them."

Buster Olney, ESPN:
The Red Sox and Twins are discussing the framework of a Johan Santana deal that would have Boston sending four players to Minnesota in return for the two-time Cy Young Award winner, including center fielder Coco Crisp, pitcher Jon Lester and minor-league shortstop Jed Lowrie, the trio that would to anchor the deal.Bowden's a bigger chip than Masterson, but if we can get (and obviously extend) Johan and still keep Buchholz and Ellsbury ... do that deal! And don't make any plans for next late October.
Red Sox pitcher Michael Bowden has been discussed as a possible fourth player, sources say, but the identity of the fourth player is in flux.
Olney says that Buchholz and Ellsbury "are considered untouchables" in the negotiations, as are Cano and Joba on the MFY side. Does that mean that New York has tossed Hughes into the pot with Milk Dud (and Kennedy?)?
If the Yankees up their offer, Theo can switch Ellsbury for Crisp, but then both Bowden and Masterson would likely be pulled off the table.

Kill the speculator
Sometimes infinite dust is around 1g each. Sometimes it's closer to 2g each. There's money to be gotten by buying it at 1g and selling it at 2g. I do this when I'm tired of all the thinking involved in being productive. I could get a greater profit by making and selling scrolls, but I'd have to see which scrolls are up, track mat costs, figure out demand, etc. Speculation is lazy gold.
It's not entirely worthless as an activity, despite my hyperbole at the start. Buying when there is excess supply helps keep up prices, supporting suppliers when they would otherwise be having trouble selling. Conversely, selling when there is a short supply helps keep down prices, supporting buyers (who are probably crafters, and therefore the productive ones) when they'd otherwise be unable to find profitable crafts.
But the speculator is unnecessary. He does nothing that others cannot. Instead he has a small piece of knowledge which is very valuable: You do not have to sell anything at a given time, nor do you have to buy. Gatherers and crafters could use this too and they'd be richer for it.
You've just farmed ore for two hours and are headed to the AH. Check the prices and... why is it half what it is normally? You'd better sell twice as much, just to break even! Or, don't sell any. Don't add your ore to the obvious over-supply. Hold on to it. Wait a few hours or a few days. Surely you can survive that long. You can keep farming, just don't sell it yet. Let the crafters buy it up. The extra gold you'll get from this would have otherwise gone to a speculator, or a crafter who got a really great deal, either way, you have more gold.
Why is the AH flooded with belt buckles? You can't sell at that price, you'd be at a loss! So don't. Keep crafting if you want, but don't sell. Check if material prices have crashed and that's why the crafted price is so low. You don't have to be part of the problem, in fact you can make more gold by being part of the solution.
You've probably figured out that all I'm really saying is to self-speculate, to "hold low, sell high". In effect, there are still speculators, they're just using their own materials. But there would be no speculator 'class', meaning they will no longer be able to make preachy bossy self-promoting economics posts about how they're brilliant.

Just because people post in an annoying way doesn't mean the entire hobby of playing the AH is wrong.
At the end of the day it's just another way of playing, and these guys pay the bills so Blizzard can spend more $$$ on game development.
In pure game effect terms speculators perform a "correcting" effect on the market. Should someone sell cheap they buy and relist. Should someone sell dear they'll seek stock to undercut him. Because of speculators people looking for quick deals can find them. Certain rarely used items would not be on the AH without speculators.
Speculating and bragging about it is kinda dumb though. It's like kicking the ball into a net while people are lying on the grass reading or something and running around going I scored, I scored. Easy to make gold off people who don't give a rat's arse about playing Monopoly Online with you. - May 24, 2010 at 9:58 AM

I used to speculate quite a bit. I paid for my epic flying (in part) by speculting on ore & bars. I just got tired of monitoring the AH every day. I still have.a ton of ore in my bank toon's guild bank. I basically got tierd of it and now only deal in titanium and Khorium since they are almost always over priced.
I don't think Klep is raging against speculators as much as he is encouraging farmers to be more diligent in their own listing. - May 24, 2010 at 10:19 AM

I think you nail it silk.
I'm actually astounded at the extent to which people in game are anchored by what is currently on the ah, even when they have been selling in a market long enough to know the price is too high or low to last.
"I usually sell these for 10g, but they are on for 7g now, so I'll list for 6g or whatever."
And never asks, "Wait, how many are on there for 7g? Only 2? and nothing after that for less than 12g? Maybe I should just list at 10g anyway and they'll sell after the 2 up there? Or maybe I should buy those out and list them for 10g too?"
When I am buying up mats for stuff I craft (essence of X for twink enchants especially, and pearls etc.), I often leave a couple cheap ones up, in order to anchor the next seller. And it works.
One reason it works is that a lot of people use quick auctions which has a very simple algorithm. But it also seems to work on people at times as well.
On the other side, you get people who buy out everthing except a few bits listed for way over normal price. And then people will come in and just barely undercut the uber high price, even when they have a lot to sell and would make way more profit listing at 150% of normal than 300%. - May 24, 2010 at 1:24 PM

That's exactly what I was trying to get at: farmers and crafters need to think more about their pricing.
I think I touched on the issue of undercutting only one or two items a couple months back. But I'm glad you brought that up. I'm certainly no expert in pricing, and I doubt most people care to be, but just adding a few more guidelines can be a big help; such as not worrying about undercutting one stack of saronite when it's absurdly low. Someone will probably buy it to resell anyway, and the market moves so much product that it's going to be sold.
I should remember that anchoring trick, especially when prices go something like 30, 30g, 30, 35, 60g.
On an unrelated note, do you have a secret hidden blog somewhere? Anytime I see you commenting you seem to know your stuff and have something to contribute, but your profile only lists an empty blog. - May 24, 2010 at 5:43 PM

Do you think your suggestion is in any way shape or form a plausible one? Do you think the elimination of the speculator class IRL through education blog posting is also plausible? Are you going to delete every comment that points out how your ideas are nothing more than unreasonable attempts to troll more successful and reasonable bloggers on a forum where you can control the discussion absolutely? Yes, I rather thought you were.
- May 24, 2010 at 7:13 PM
- Klepsacovic said...
I think my suggestion is perfectly plausible, seeing as I've applied it myself and gotten a good bit more gold. All people have to do is think more about their pricing. It's not at all complex. The speculator class in real life is unlikely to go away any time soon, but in this game, it could be much smaller.
Could you perhaps explain how this is remotely trollish? Perhaps you're not so good with self-deprecating humor.
If you think I seek to control the discussion absolutely, you should look around some more, and see that I am more than happy to leave up and respond to dissenting and disagreeing comments. I'm less a fan of people who worthlessly troll. Oh look, your comment is still there. How strange. - May 24, 2010 at 7:20 PM

You DO realize that this post is almost something Gevlon could have written, right? In a perfect market, there would be no speculators, because everyone would be buying and selling at the prices were supply meets demand, but because there are people too stupid (moron) or too lazy (slacker) to hold unto their stuff and wait for a better price, there is room for goblins to exist and make a profit.
- May 24, 2010 at 8:22 PM
- SlikRX said...
@anon - Um, no, you've completely missed gevlon's tactics: he'd say buy ALL the low priced and re-list, OR he would say to completely undercut, depending on your server.
Gevlon is NOT about controlling the prices, per se. He just wasnt to ensure that his stuff selss.
Seriousl, if you read ANYHING on his blog, you would realize that his main tactic is to undercut.
And, to repeat AGAIN< what is the point of this post: he is asking the FARMERS to list their goods more intelligently, NOT trying to completely put speculators out of business. - May 24, 2010 at 9:19 PM

I don't think you understand Gevlon at all. WoW gold is utterly worthless and Gevlon knows it; he only continues to make money just to show he can.
Why is it important that he can continue to make money? Why do you think Gevlon has a blog in first place? It's not about the money, if it were he'd never have started either the Undergeared or Ganking Projects.
The point is to show Socials (people who are not M&S or Goblins) why they should be more like Goblins, because if you don't act like or tolerate M&S, you can be more successful in raiding, in PvP, or just in making money.
In hindsight, I'm not sure where you got the "controlling prices" bit from. Some basic economic theory: supply is proportional to price (because you can sell something for a lot, more people will want to sell it), and demand is inversely proportional to price (because when something costs a lot, more people won't want to buy it). So, if you graph an item's supply and demand curves based on price, there will be one point where the curves intersect: at that point, everyone who wants to buy the item will be able to do so and there will be none left unsold. Consequently, when you price an item not at that intersection, the difference between those supply and demand curves is where the speculator makes profit. That's what I was talking about. - May 24, 2010 at 10:38 PM

@ Anon - I really have no clue WHY Gevlon continues to do what he does. Boredom? I make no claims there.
But what I WILL assert is that the basic financial philosphy that gets preached on his site can be summed up in 2 words:
Endercut everybody.
There are a couple suppositions that are required and implied:
a) Do so until you control/dominate a particular item. (and, ideally its supply chain)
b) Still make *some* profit, no matter how small
On Gev's virtual "wall of shame" there are tons of examples of folks being riduclued for pointing out a fundamental REAL WORLD point that is completely lost:
-If you don't undercut the prices to such an absurdly low price, you can STILL make the same profit, but with half the work. AND multiple people can do the same.
But that fundamental concept is completely lost on the Gevlon Goblins. Mainly, because clicking the "create all" button takes the same amount of time (player action-wise) regardless if it's 5 items, or 500. (And they automate the auction process as well)
That is price control. Nobody can (or will bother) to try to undercut, since the profit margin is barely there. It's not worth the time or effort for most folks to bother, so they don't.
NOW, there *IS* an intrinsic value that the Goblins get by doing this, which I suspect is their entire reason for doing it: self gratification for the act of control, in and of itself. As you said yourself, the gold isn't their reason. Exerting that control IS the payoff. Its a meta-game.
The big downside, is that everyone else trying to play the game as generally intended (ie, craft stuff for a reasonable profit to fund other game related activities) gets derailed. And this gives the Goblins their second payoff: Making fun of those "M&S" folks that are simply trying to play WoW as an MMORPG, and not as a economic manipulation meta-game.
Don't get me wrong, I can respect the effort, planning and implimentation that makes a Gevlon Goblin successful.
But, as has been pointed out elsewhere at great length, Gevlon, et al don't "get" what the real definition of social is. To them "playing for fun" is nothing more than M&S personified: if you aren't optimizing and maximizing every aspect of the game, you are wasting time.
I didn't follow Gev's other projects, other than tidbits that got mentioned around the blogosphere, so no comment there.
Can I appreciate the methods and implimentation for their meta-game? Yeah. But from a "social" or "societal" point of view, it's fundamentally flawed. - May 26, 2010 at 3:18 PM

That is my real blog (well I have an lj and a facebook under my real name, but they don't talk about wow at all and are still relatively sparse). I'm not much for thread starting, and a sucker for back and forth conversation, coming from my usenet days. I have the blog to give me something to sign with, and as a placeholder for the day I start actually posting to it.
Can I take that as a promise to blogroll if I ever post regularly enough to justify it? - May 27, 2010 at 8:16 PM
- Klepsacovic said...
@SlikRX: On and off I ponder the concept if "fun optimization", basically meaning attempting to maximize fun, possibly with reduced momentary fun. It can' quite be quantified, but if it could, imagine it as having half as much fun for ten minutes which will allow for twice as much fun for ten further minutes, resulting in 25% more fun than without optimization. So you might do a daily you really hate but which offers a good reward, in order to avoid doing other dailies which are just so so fun, freeing up time for something really fun like raiding or PvP.
This shouldn't be confused with the mistaken notion that people who aren't playing the way I'd play must be having less fun and are therefore doing it wrong. Fun is a personal thing, so perhaps that apparent moron camping your alt for two hours is actually having tons of fun and would be stupid to do something else.
@The Gnome of Zurich: Gladly! - May 27, 2010 at 9:44 PM

Your body doesn't move in one dimension. If it did, you wouldn't be able to move your leg away from you, toward you, in front and behind you. Your body moves in three dimensions, and the training programs you design for your clients should reflect that. Designing an exercise program that utilizes all planes of motion will help your clients train their body in the same manner that it moves in real life.
There are three different planes of motion: sagittal, frontal, and transverse. In each plane, several different movements occur at the joints. Here's a rundown of the different types of movement that occur within each plane:
- Flexion: Decreasing the angle between two bones
- Extension: Increasing the angle between two bones
- Dorsiflexion:Moving the top of the foot toward the shin (only at the ankle)
- Plantarflexion: moving the sole of the foot downward (pointing the toes)
- Adduction: Motion toward the midline
- Abduction: Motion away from the midline of the body
- Elevation: Moving to a superior position (only at the scapula)
- Depression: Moving to an inferior position (only at the scapula)
- Inversion: Lifting the medial border of the foot
- Eversion: Lifting the lateral border of the foot
- Rotation- Internal (inward) or external (outward) turning about the vertical axis of the bone
- Pronation- Rotating the hand and wrist medially from the bone
- Supination-Rotating the hand and wrist laterally from the bone
- Horizontal Flexion (adduction)- From the 90-degree abducted arm position, the humerus is flexed (adducted) in toward the midline of the body in the transverse plane
- Horizontal Extension (abduction)- Return of the humerus from horizontal flexion
Let's Examine Each Plane in a Bit More Detail
Dividing the body into left and right halves using an imaginary line gives us the sagittal plane. Any forward and backward movement parallel to this line occurs in the sagittal plane.
With the same imaginary line, divide the body into front and back halves and you have the frontal plane. Any lateral (side) movement parallel to the line will occur in the frontal plane.
Last, but certainly not least, we have the transverse plane, which divides the body into superior and inferior halves. Movement parallel to the waistline, otherwise known as rotational movement, occurs in the transverse plane.
For a clearer understanding, we can view the planes as they relate to exercises performed in a workout session. Below are a few exercises performed in each plane.
- Sagittal plane:bicep curl and forward or reverse lunges
- Frontalplane: dumbbell lateral (side) raise
- Transverse:horizontal wood chop
Once you are able to grasp the concept of movement within the three planes, client program design will be seamless. For further information on the planes of motion as you study, you can view this video.

WASHINGTON – The Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe (U.S. Helsinki Commission) will hold the following briefing today:
Europeans of African Descent 'Black Europeans': Race, Rights, and Politics
Tuesday, November 19
11:00 a.m.
Dirksen Senate Office Building Room SDG-50
Throwing bananas and other racist acts targeting Black cabinet-level officials in Italy and France have put a spotlight on the experiences of the 7-10 million people of African Descent in Europe / Black Europeans. A visible minority in Europe often unacknowledged despite a centuries' long presence in Europe, Black Europeans have increasingly become the targets of discrimination, pernicious racial profiling, and violent hate crimes impacting equal access to housing, employment, education, and justice.
Europe today grapples with the complex intersection of national identity, decreasing birth rates, increasing immigration, security concerns, and a rise in extremist political parties and vigilantism. In this context, the experiences of Black Europeans increasingly serve as a measure of the strength of European democracies and commitments to human rights. The briefing will discuss the work of Black European rights organizations and the efforts of the international community to address issues of inequality, discrimination, and inclusion for Black Europeans, in addition to discussing similarities and work with African-American civil rights organizations.
The following panelists are scheduled to participate:
King C. Asante-Yeboa, President, Africa Center, Ukraine
Hedwig Bvumburah, Director, Cross Culture International Foundation (CCIF), Malta
Salome Mbugua, CEO, AkiDwA, Migrant Women's Network, Ireland
Jallow Momodou, Vice-Chair for European Network Against Racism; Chair, Pan-African Movement for Justice, Sweden
Larry Olomoofe, Racism and Xenophobia Advisor, OSCE/ODIHR, Poland

LYON, France ‒ The arrest in Germany of Luka Rocco Magnotta, a Canadian national suspected of murder and the subject of an INTERPOL Red Notice for internationally-wanted persons, highlights the essential role of international police cooperation and sharing intelligence in fugitive investigations, a senior INTERPOL official has said.
At the request of Canadian authorities, on 31 May INTERPOL issued a Red Notice for 29-year-old Magnotta, wanted for arrest in the killing of a man and posting his body parts to various locations around Canada. German authorities confirmed that Magnotta was taken into custody by police in Berlin today, Monday 4 June.
INTERPOL's 24/7 Command and Coordination Centre circulated the Red Notice in all four of its official languages, Arabic, English, French and Spanish, to each of its 190 member countries after it was believed Magnotta, who is also known as Eric Clinton Newman or Vladimir Romanov, had fled Canada for France.
Thereafter, INTERPOL Canada and the relevant INTERPOL National Central Bureaus began sharing intelligence on Magnotta's whereabouts. In light of the dangerous nature of the suspected murderer, all information on the case was treated as a priority by INTERPOL's Fugitive Investigation Support unit and its Command and Coordination Centre at its General Secretariat headquarters in Lyon, France.
Throughout the case, INTERPOL's General Secretariat headquarters remained in constant touch with the relevant National Central Bureaus worldwide and specialist fugitive investigation units to ensure a seamless flow of intelligence in following up potential leads provided by both law enforcement and the public.
"Magnotta's arrest demonstrates the benefits of INTERPOL's worldwide network of National Central Bureaus sharing information on dangerous fugitives believed to have fled abroad. Police know that the best way to catch fugitives anywhere in the world is to use INTERPOL's tools and services," said the Head of INTERPOL's Fugitives unit, Stefano Carvelli.
"INTERPOL congratulates all of the authorities and its National Central Bureaus in Canada, France, Germany and elsewhere for their collaborative efforts which led to the rapid arrest of this wanted individual," added Mr Carvelli.
INTERPOL Red Notices serve to communicate to police worldwide that a person is wanted by a member country and request that the suspect be placed under provisional arrest pending extradition.

It will be a proud moment when we present Condoleezza and Darla their Green Jackets when the Club opens this fall."
The AP notes that "Augusta National, which opened in December 1932 and did not have a black member until 1990, is believed to have about 300 members. While the club until now had no female members, women were allowed to play the golf course as guests, including on the Sunday before the Masters week began in April."

She was the first woman to be profiled on the cover of Fortune Magazine, and she made a $25 million contribution to her alma mater, South Carolina, which renamed its business school after her."

Elevate Your 3 Patti Game Online - Big Wins & Real Money Prizes - Teen Patti Master
Teen Patti, often referred to as 'three cards' in English, is a popular card game with its roots deeply embedded in the culture of India and extending across South Asia. It's a gambling game that shares similarities with poker and the English game of three-card brag. Teen Patti is traditionally played in a social setting, usually during festivities or family gatherings, reflecting the sociable nature of South Asian culture. The game's simplicity, combined with the excitement of betting, makes it a favorite among card players in the region.
Understanding Teen Patti begins with grasping the basics of the game, including the rules of card ranking and the various actions that players can take during a hand. Experience in the game allows players to develop strategies, bluffs, and counter-moves, making it as much a game of skill as it is of chance. In recent years, the digital revolution has brought Teen Patti to the online sphere, allowing millions to play online, fostering a vast community of players worldwide.
Key Takeaways
- Teen Patti is a widespread card game originating from India, known for its betting and use in social gatherings.
- The game combines elements of chance and skill, with players making strategic decisions based on their hand rankings.
- Online platforms have significantly expanded access to Teen Patti, making it possible to play the game with participants from around the globe.
Origins and History
Teen Patti, an intricate part of South Asian culture, is a traditional card game whose history intertwines with festivals like Diwali and has entertained people for centuries.
Cultural Significance
Teen Patti holds a significant place in the sociocultural fabric of the Indian subcontinent. Often associated with Diwali celebrations, this game is not just about gambling; it's an element of togetherness and festivity. It mirrors the social aspect of gatherings during times of celebration, especially on Diwali, when families and friends unite to play.
Evolution of the Game
The evolution of Teen Patti can be traced back to the English game known as three-card brag, which was a popular gentleman's game during the 16th century. Over centuries, three-card brag spread through the British Empire, ultimately reaching the Indian subcontinent and taking on its distinct version. As it mingled with local cultural practices, Teen Patti became a widespread pastime across South Asia, its rules and methods of play evolving with each locale.
Fundamentals of Teen Patti
In Teen Patti, a game often compared to poker, your goal is to have the best possible hand or bluff successfully. As you navigate through the hierarchy of hands and the betting process, understanding the basics will set the stage for your in-game decisions.
The Deck and The Cards
Teen Patti is played with a standard deck of 52 cards, without the jokers. The cards rank from high to low, with the Ace being the highest and Deuce the lowest. Hand rankings are crucial in Teen Patti, influencing the outcome significantly. From highest to lowest, the sequences are: Trail or Set (three of a kind), Pure Sequence (straight flush), Sequence (run), Color (flush), Pair (two of a kind), and High Card.
Player Roles and Responsibilities
Every player at the table has a role to play. The dealer, chosen randomly or through a draw at the start, is responsible for distributing the cards. The players must deliberate their stakes carefully and understand when to make a bet or fold. In a pot-limit version of the game, there's a cap on the amount players can bet, safeguarding against excessively high stakes.
Understanding Bets and Stakes
Before the start, each player contributes an ante to the pot. During the game, you can opt for a blind bet, where you bet without looking at your cards, or a chaal, betting after viewing them. There are also terms big blind and small blind, which refer to the two sizes of bets that players to the left of the dealer must make before card distribution, setting the initial stakes for the round.
Game Play Structure
The game-play structure of Teen Patti starts with the dealer distributing the cards. Each player gets three cards face-down, kick-starting the round. You decide whether to play blind or see your cards and play as a seen player. Bets are placed and gathered into the central pot, and rounds continue until players either fold or the final showdown occurs, where remaining hands are compared and the best one wins the pot.
Hand Rankings and Game Actions
In Teen Patti, your success hinges on the hands you play and the actions you take at the table. Understanding the ranking of hands is crucial to making strategic bets, whether you're a blind player or a seen player. Familiarity with common game actions guides how you manage your total bet throughout the game.
Ranking of Hands
The hierarchy of Teen Patti hands, from highest to lowest, is as follows:
- Trail or Set (Three of a Kind): Three cards of the same rank. Higher ranks beat lower ranks.
- Pure Sequence (Straight Flush): Three consecutive cards of the same suit.
- Sequence (Straight): Three consecutive cards, not all in the same suit.
- Color (Flush): Any three cards of the same suit that are not in sequence.
- Pair (Two of a Kind): Two cards of the same rank. Higher value pairs defeat lower value pairs.
- High Card: If none of the above hands is achieved, the highest card in your hand determines your hand's strength.
Common Game Actions
As you engage in the game, you'll encounter several key actions:
- Call: When you match the current bet in the pot.
- Raise: When you increase the bet amount, raising the stakes for other players.
- Fold: If you decide your hand isn't strong enough to continue, you fold and exit the round.
- Check: In a scenario where no new bet has been placed, you can check, passing the action to the next player without making a bet.
- Showdown: The final phase of the game where remaining players reveal their hands to determine the winner.
- Sideshow (Compromise): A request to compare your cards with those of a previous player; allowed only between seen players.
Special Teen Patti Hands
Some hands are distinct to Teen Patti and carry unique names:
- Trail or Set (Three of a Kind): A powerful combination that has the highest rank.
- Pure Sequence (Straight Flush): This sequence combines the qualities of both a flush and a straight, leading to a high-ranking hand.
Remember, your hand's strength not only guides your actions but also influences the actions of others, culminating in the final showdown to determine the winner.
Teen Patti Variations
Teen Patti has evolved into a tapestry of engaging variations, each offering a unique twist on the classic card game. These variations can significantly affect gameplay, adding layers of strategy with different rules for betting and the use of jokers or altering the traditional hierarchy of hands as seen in Muflis.
Popular Variants
Muflis: This variation flips the standard Teen Patti ranking system, making the lowest hand the strongest. Your strategy shifts as you aim for the weakest combination to win.
Joker Variants: Games like Auction Teen Patti involve jokers, which can be used as wild cards. Knowing when to play these jokers can be pivotal to your success in the game.
Regional Variations
Each region may add its unique flavor to Teen Patti, mixing traditional rules with local preferences. For example, while a standard game is based on the traditional three-card model, some regional variations might change the number of cards dealt or introduce new betting protocols that could spice up your playing experience.
Innovative Online Formats
With the migration of Teen Patti to the online platform, numerous inventive formats have emerged. Online variations can integrate varied betting styles and can even allow for larger scale tournaments, where you have the chance to play against a wide array of opponents from all over the world.
Auction: In some online formats, Auction Teen Patti increases the complexity of the game. You not only play the cards but also bid strategically on joker cards, adding an exciting economic dimension to the match.
Strategies and Tips
Mastering Teen Patti requires a solid grasp of various strategic dimensions of the game, such as betting wisely, bluffing effectively, and understanding how your position relative to the dealer can influence your play. These components are pivotal for increasing your chances of success.
Betting Strategies
When you're betting in Teen Patti, it's essential to consider the strength of your hand and the behaviors of your opponents. Start with small stakes to gauge the dynamics of the game and increase your bets as you become more confident with your hand. Knowing when to "see", when to "raise", and when to "fold" is critical. Use aggression to your advantage but balance it with caution to avoid transparent predictability.
- Start Small: Begin with minimal stakes to avoid significant losses early on.
- Raise Judiciously: Increase your bet when confident, to incrementally build the pot.
Bluffing Techniques
Bluffing is a powerful tool in Teen Patti, and when used skilfully, it can turn even a weak hand into a winner. Your objective is to create a perception of strength, prompting others to fold. Improve your bluffing techniques by mixing up your patterns and being mindful of your table image.
- Unpredictable Play: Randomize your bluffs to keep opponents guessing.
- Confidence Display: Project confidence regardless of your hand to cast doubt in your opponents' minds.
Player Position and Behavior
Your position in the betting order can provide valuable insights into your opponents' hands. Use this knowledge to adjust your strategy throughout the game. Pay close attention to behavioral cues and patterns that may indicate the strength of other players' cards. And remember, the 'sideshow' maneuver allows you to compare cards with another player once you've seen your cards, adding another layer of strategy regarding when and whom to challenge.
- Early Position Caution: If you're one of the first to act, play conservatively.
- Late Position Strength: Use your position later in the betting order to exert pressure.
- Sideshow Requests: Strategically request sideshows to minimize risk.
