The tired blonde slowly opened the door to his shared apartment with Izaya Orihara. It was 11:00pm, and Shizuo felt extremely exhausted from working almost ten hours in the freezing weather of Ikebukuro.
Shizuo made his way to the leather couch that belonged to he informant and decided to rest there for a while before he went upstairs with his sleeping boyfriend.
Shizuo sat down on the couch, took off his blue shades, and leaned back, closing his tired mocha brown eyes. As he relaxed a while, and slowly started to drift to sleep, he heard footsteps coming near him.
"Shizu-chan~" a velvet voice sang quietly.
The ex-bartender groaned quietly, while his eyes still closed.
"What's wrong Shizu-chan~? Not happy to see me?" Izaya purred, as he stood behind the couch , leaning down next to the blonde's face.
"I'm tired." Shizuo huffed.
"Why didn't you come upstairs to sleep with me?"
"I was too tired to walk upstairs." He explained.
"That's unfortunate..." Izaya sighed and walked around the couch to stand in front of the sleepy blonde, "Why do you work so late?"
" 'Cause there's a lot of assholes who refuses to pay Tom." He replied.
Izaya sat down on the blonde's lap and smiled, "I'm sorry about that, Shizu-chan. But luckily for you, you don't have to go to work tomorrow, ne?" The raven purred.
Shizuo raised a brow with his eyes still closed, "I don't?"
Izaya chuckled, "Does Shizu-chan not know what day it is tomorrow?"
Izaya laughed, "Ahaha, yes Shizu-chan it is Monday tomorrow, but something special is happening tomorrow."
"Hmm?" Shizuo hummed.
Izaya sighed, "You really are a brainless protozoan." He paused, "Someone is turning twenty-five tomorrow~" Izaya purred and nuzzled his head in the crook of the brute's neck and kissing his skin.
With his eyes still closed, Shizuo frowned at the informant's words, and shivered at the sudden cold lips that attached to his warm skin, "Oh yeah...that almost slipped my mind..." He mumbled.
"You seem like you're actually dreading your birthday." Izaya chuckled, "Why is that, Shizu-chan?" He asked, and nibbled on Shizuo's neck.
Shizuo sighed and finally opened his eyes to look down at his boyfriend who was nibbling and licking at his skin, "My birthday is just a reminder on how boring my life is."
"Hmm? How so?" Izaya asked, now giving Shizuo scattered hickeys.
"Hnnn..." Shizuo groaned at Izaya's ministrations, "Nothing exciting happens in my life..."
Izaya paused and looked up at the blonde, "Exciting..?"
"Yeah..." Shizuo sighed.
"You want something exciting to happen in your life?" The informant smirked, "Do you have anything in mind?"
"...dunno...maybe...travel somewhere or something...?" He suggested, and grabbed Izaya's hips, and stared into his lustful auburn eyes.
Izaya smirked and leaned forward and gently pressed his lips against Shizuo's. Shizuo began to kiss back, but with force, making Izaya mewl on his lips.
The ex-bartender licked the informant's lips, asking for entrance, which Izaya gladly agreed too; letting the wet appendage dance with his own. Shizuo roamed Izaya's sweet mouth, before Izaya pulled away, gasping for air.
As Izaya caught his breath, Shizuo gave Izaya the same treatment that he was getting from him earlier, licking and biting his neck.
Izaya threw his head back in pleasure, "Ah, so where would you like to go Shizu-chan~" the informant gasped.
"Hmm?" The blonde purred, whilst still sucking on the raven's skin.
"I'll take you anywhere you would like to go. Mm... maybe Paris...?" Izaya suggested, and captured Shizuo's lips again, while pawing at his clothing.
"Mmnnn-no..." Shizuo chuckled, as he too tried to take off Izaya's clothes.
Izaya managed to take Shizuo's vest off and was working on unbuttoning his dress shirt, "Mmhh...London...? Hawaii...New York...?" He continued suggesting, and ravished the blonde's mouth even more; licking the back of Shizuo teeth and Shizuo the same.
The two were devouring each other.
"No." Shizuo growled lustfully, taking off the rest of Izaya's clothing, creating hickeys all the way down to Izaya's pale chest. Shizuo then took the initiative to attach his mouth on Izaya's pink, erect, nipple.
"Ahn~! Mm...Singapore...? Egypt...Jamaica...Hollywood...?" Izaya moaned the names of famous places.
"No, no...and no." Shizuo chuckled and put his hands down Izaya's pants and palmed Izaya's erection through his boxers, "Aahhh...n-no fair, Shizu-chan..." Izaya moaned, "You're not-ah-! Helping..."
"What do you mean...?" Shizuo smirked, now reaching inside Izaya's boxers, and stroking him slowly.
"Mmm..." Izaya moaned, "You're not telling me...ah...where you want to go...for your birthday...ah!"
Shizuo continued stroking Izaya, and the only noise was Izaya's soft moaning and panting. Shizuo pursed lips, then decided to pressed them heatedly against Izaya's, and once again devouring each other's mouths, and was swallowing Izaya's moans. Once again, Izaya pulled away, with a blush steadily growing in his face, "T-tell me Shizu-chan..."
"Tch. You really want to know where I want to go?" Shizuo smirked, his stroking turned into pumping. Izaya nodded, with his swollen lips slightly opened.
Shizuo leaned next to Izaya's ear and whispered, "To our bed..." He smirked. Izaya smirked back and crashed lips onto Shizuo's; mewling at the warmth of Shizuo's lips returning back to his own.
Shizuo released Izaya's length and began to carry him up the stairs. Once in the bedroom, Shizuo dropped Izaya on the bed; crawling on top of him, and removed the informant's pants and boxers, as well as his own.
As Shizuo finished, Izaya snaked his arms around Shizuo neck pulling him closed to engage in another passionate, hot, kiss. Shizuo returned the kiss with yet another tongue tangling battle, and then Shizuo ground the duo's bare erections together.
"Ah~!" Izaya squealed at the sudden thrust, he too returned the favor and thrusted back at Shizuo.
"Ah...shit.." Shizuo groaned and continued with their heated kiss. The two men were entwined with one another, all they could do was to grab and kiss each other over and over, and they both could barely get enough of one another.
"Nnn...Shi-Shizu-chan~! I-I need you...now..." Izaya moaned, and thrusted their erections together again.
"Sh-shit...ah..." Shizuo moaned as well, and finally presented Izaya with his index, ring, and middle finger. Izaya looked, then smirked at the blonde ruffian and teasingly licked the three fingers slowly and playfully, without losing eye contact.
Impatiently, Shizuo gently shoved his fingers in Izaya's mouth. Now getting the message, Izaya now seriously made the fingers as wet as he could, and had a slight shiver run through his body.
Oh yes, Izaya wanted this badly, and so did Shizuo. Shizuo was relatively rough when it came to sex, which is what Izaya loved. He loved when Shizuo challenged him and became in complete control when fucking him. Not to also mention he was a complete masochist when it came to sex.
"Mmm, what's the rush, birthday boy? Can't wait to shove you cock in my tight hole?" Izaya coaxed, with his trademark smirk on his face.
"Tch. You're god damn right." Shizuo smirked and used his index finger to thrust in his tight hole. Shizuo wriggled his finger around, trying to widen Izaya's entrance, and then finally entered the second finger.
"Nnn..." Izaya groaned. The second finger stung a little but had gotten better after a couple of minutes, and then lastly Shizuo entered the third finger and this one stung the most. Izaya couldn't help but cringe at the third finger. It was always the third finger that Izaya couldn't stand, and hurt the most, no matter how many times he and Shizuo had had sex.
"Shit...you're tight." Shizuo groaned. His eyebrows scrunched with concentration, trying desperately to find Izaya's sweet spot. He curled his fingers upwards until he touched a bundle of nerves that made Izaya go wild, "Mnnnaaaahh!" Izaya moaned loudly. He threw his head back and arched his spine in intense pleasure.
Shizuo smirked at the moaning raven and thrusted his fingers into Izaya's tight hole again; earning more obscene noises from him. Shizuo pulled out his fingers and twisted them back in clockwise, pressing up against the bundle of nerves that made Izaya go crazy.
"Aaah! Sh-Shizuo...! Ah!" He panted, and ran his hands through the blonde mop that belonged to Shizuo. He tugged the blonde strands harshly. He wanted Shizuo to continue, but wanted him to also stop, because he wanted more than just Shizuo's slick fingers.
"Sh-Shizuo...ah...! S-stop...! Haaah...!" The raven protested, but his hips willingly rocked against Shizuo's slick digits.
"You want me to stop?" Shizuo chuckled; poking at Izaya's prostate again.
"Mmmnnn...ah...I need you...haaah...not your fingers...nnnnggh" Izaya moaned.
Shizuo smirked and pulled his fingers out of Izaya; making him feel empty. Shizuo positioned himself at Izaya's entrance and slowly pushed himself inside, feeling the wonderful warmth around his length.
Izaya moaned at the length that entered inside of him, making him feel really full. Izaya wrapped his arms around Shizuo's back; clawing at the skin, and leaving ten red stripes on the ex-bartender's back.
"Nn..." Shizuo groaned, and latched his canines on Izaya's sensitive neck, making Izaya bruise.
"Aah! Shizu-!" Izaya yelled and gasped at the sudden thrust inside of him.
"Hnnn...!" Shizuo groaned and thrusted fully into Izaya's depths, and poking at his prostate.
"Haaah! Shizuo...! H-harder-nnng!" Izaya gasped.
Shizuo thrusted faster inside of the smaller man; fast enough to make the king sized bed to shake. Shizuo kissed Izaya's sweet mouth, devouring his sweet moans and gasps that emit from him.
The blonde wrapped his tongue around the raven's; once again, taking another taste of each other's addictive mouth.
Shizuo pulled away and nibbled the informant's plumped lips, and continued thrusting into Izaya.
"Ah..! Mmnn...Y-you can do better than that...ah..!" Izaya coaxed, "Mmm, c'mon...harder...! Mnnn...ah..!" He moaned.
"Tch. If I go any harder, ah...I'll break you in two..." Shizuo joked, and used his left hand to stroke Izaya's erect member again, and the other hand to tug on the raven's hair.
"Ah..! Nnaaah...! That's fine! Break me in two...aaah! F-fuck me up...!" Izaya moaned, and clawed harder at Shizuo's back.
Shizuo sighed, pissed off that he wasn't satisfying the raven enough. But, Shizuo was up for a challenge, and decided to thrust into Izaya a lot faster and harder, making Izaya's body being harshly moved across the bed.
"Aaahhhh...! Perfect...mmmn...!"Izaya sighed happily.
"Feels good huh?" Shizuo smirked.
"Ahhhn...! Spectacular~! Ah...!" Izaya responded.
Shizuo smirked at the response and now pumped Izaya rhythmically to his thrusting.
"Aaahh...! Shizu-oh! Ahh...!" Izaya moaned and moved his hands back to Shizuo's blonde locks and tugged harshly.
"Fuckk..." Shizuo groaned and continued thrusting and pumping hoping that Izaya would release soon because he was very close to coming.
"Nnnaaah...Shizu-Shizuo...ah...ahh..." Izaya panted. He wrapped his legs around Shizuo's waist, hoping to pull Shizuo deeper inside, if possible.
"Aah...ahh..." Shizuo huffed. He leaned his head down next to the place where Izaya's heart was beating and attached his mouth onto Izaya's pert nipples. He nibbled on the pink skin and earned more noises from the informant.
"Ahhh...Shizu-chan~! I'm...AH...close..!" Izaya informed. Shizuo let out a relieved sigh, grateful that Izaya was close to coming, which meant that he didn't have to hold back.
Shizuo thrusted a few more times until he finally came first inside of Izaya.
The raven moaned loudly, at the immense feeling of being filled, and he too came onto Shizuo's chest. Toes curled and fingers clenched, Izaya was fully spent, and so was Shizuo.
Shizuo pulled out of Izaya and flopped next to Izaya, panting, and closing his eyes, feeling exhausted. He then felt a lithe body crawl on top of his chest.
The two laid together in a comfortable silence, until Izaya finally spoke, "Shizu-chan, I'm starting to get the feeling that you only want me for sex." He chuckled.
"Tch. That's not true." Shizuo sighed; opening his eyes.
"You're always all over me~"
"You were the one who was begging for more. Not to mention that you started it." Shizuo huffed, and put his hands behind his head.
"So the brute is clever~" Izaya chuckled, "Let that be an introduction to your birthday gift. By the way, where do you want to travel to for your birthday? You never told me."
Shizuo shrugged, "Don't really feel like going anywhere..." He replied.
"What? You just said you wanted to travel somewhere." Izaya complained, feeling slightly annoyed.
"I changed my mind." He shrugged.
"I thought you wanted something exciting to happen in your life." Izaya fake pouted.
"I just walked home from work, to have rough sex with you, flea. I think that's pretty exciting." Shizuo said with a small smile tugging on his lips.
Izaya looked up at the blonde's face intently and smiled, "I'm exciting? I'm so flattered." He chuckled.
"Well yeah. You're the most exciting thing that's ever happened to me." Shizuo blushed at his own words, "Just wish that I would've figured that out sooner." He mumbled.
Izaya's heart melted at those words. Shizuo never said anything so sweet towards him ever, "Aww...is Shizu-chan getting all soft on me? How adorable~" Izaya mocked
"Tch." Shizuo blushed more from embarrassment, "Yeah yeah whatever." He sighed; then he felt warm, swollen lips kiss his own gently.
"Mmm..." Shizuo moaned and kissed back.
Izaya pulled away and smiled, "You're so cute Shizu-chan~ Too bad you're getting so old and wrinkly." He joked.
"I'm not old!" Shizuo barked, "Besides I'm not that older than you."
"Really now?" Izaya said sarcastically.
"Yeah, I'm like a year and a couple of months older than you."
"I beg to differ, Shizu-chan." the raven chuckled.
"Oh yeah? Then just how old are you?" He asked.
"I am forever twenty-one, Shizu-chan~ you should know that by no." Izaya smiled.
Shizuo rolled his eyes at the smaller man, "Whatever. You're twenty-three in a half, get it right." The blonde grumbled and closed his eyes.
The two remained quiet as Shizuo was on the verge of going to sleep, until he heard a velvet voice whisper, breaking the silence, "Happy Birthday, Shizu-chan~"
Yes it was now midnight and Shizuo was officially twenty-five years old. Another year full of unexpected events, and another year with his loved ones.
Shizuo let out a soft groan of annoyance, but secretly smiled.
I originally was gonna post this on Monday, on Shizuo's birthday, but I got caught up with time and stuff ; m ;

The lights are on
Veteran Member - Level 13
So this week was a bit slow compared to past weeks. Coming in with only three blogs. But that's okay. We had some great entries. Now an announcement. As much as I like the idea of Phase Two for
this, how about we do away with that. I don't like putting restrictions
like that on people. So how about every week is a free for all. Live,
die, whatever you want. That sound good to everyone? Anyway onto the recap.
The Deep Roads Massacre by DJH
Jolt-This entry consisted of all sorts of badassery. It had GIO members, me
killing those GIO members, Hanna as a puppy dog, and a fool who trips
and falls to his doom. Best of all though, its a continuation of my
first week. I like a story to flow, and DJH seperated the two
ilnstallments pretty well. I didn't expect to be a darkspawn; I assumed
that my demise was pretty much a sure thing once I got Brood'd. It was
good to see a story from the bad guys POV.
The White Void by GoldvsSilver
Jolt- I didn't expect this entry, but it was definitely a welcomed one. It's
always nice to see new participants. This GaMe was intense and thought
provoking. Although I am not completely blind, I can relate to the
feeling, as I am legally blind out of my left eye. GvS did an amazing
job of capturing the panic and despair that had to be occupying the
characters mind. I thought it was cool he picked a game that hasn't been
talked about a whole bunch, too. The downside? I am pretty upset that I
won't be able to play this surefire Indie hit.
The Cynic Of Whiterun by sorryjzargoJolt-I'm not a fan of TES, but the story portion of this entry was fairly
captivating. I continued reading to the end because of his ability to
keep me guessing. The ending was probably the most surprising ending of
any GaMe ever done. It shouldn't have been, especially considering the
author. This was my first experience with teabagging, virtual or
otherwise. I haven't lol'd from anything online in a long time, so this
was fun.
The Winner
Everyone here knows GvS is an awesome writer, but it
doesn't always translate into fiction. It does in his case, however.
This GaMe was unlike any other entry I have read since its inception.
Most of it probably has to do wit the unique source material, but GvS
executed it flawlessly. It was enjoyable to read, and made the reader
think. I'm not sure if this was a one-time entry for him, but I really
hope GvS continues to participate. He has the skills to win with every
So congrats to GVS on your first entry and win! So everyone still doing this, you can find his profile here
As for you Jolt, you can do this one of two ways. You can put another badge on your profile. Or just do this
Everyone have fun with this!

Hello Glenys,
It's nice to hear from you. My family came from Yorkshire in the village of Thornborough. However, another family of Thornboroughs, to whom your John may have belonged, were located in Devonshire.
Descendents of that family are now in Australia.
Please visit my web site, www.thornborough.com. You will find links to the Australian wing of the family as well as the genealogy records of my family.
Let me know how you make out.

Tom Parker Bowles Is Fine With Being A Twit And A Prat
So, the son of Camilla Parker Bowles—you know her better as Mrs. Prince Charles—has a new book out. (That's him in an undated photo with his sister Laura.) The book's something about eating exotic food on his world travels. He's also an editor at Tatler, the cheeky British mag where Tina Brown became editor at the tender age of 25. Also, his wife is an editor at Harper's Bazaar. They live in Notting Hill, which Tom accurately characterizes as the land where everyone's a twat.
"It's such a cliché, and everyone's a twat, but I love it," he said. "Mine's not the posh part but the back part, the All Saints Road. When you were young, you could buy anything you wanted there, and when you were sixteen that was very attractive, but you always got ripped off: a little white boy, very posh."
In other news, this is only the third time, according to Nexis, that the word "twat" has been used in the New Yorker. For the record, both other times they were also in quotes; the first time was in a 2004 review by John Lahr, and the second was in April, in Bill Buford's Gordon Ramsay profile.

Discovering Aberration: A Steampunk Adventure Novel
by S.C. Barrus
File Size: 1477 KB
Print Length: 436 pages
Publisher: Away & Away Publishing (February 17, 2014)
(Barry's score 4 stars out of 5)
Discovering Aberration: A Steampunk Adventure Novel
Product description:
Thaddeus Lumpen's archaeology career is near collapse, thanks to the machinations of rivals who would kill to claim a discovery for themselves. In desperation he turns to Freddy Fitzgerald, a rebellious writer who still maintains connections from his days as a street hooligan. For Lumpen to get ahead of his even less scrupulous competitors he must steal an ancient map and forge a path to an island where a lost civilization waits to be found. For Freddy, it's a chance to sell the story of a lifetime.
But nothing is as simple as it appears from halfway across the world. Old acquaintances become enemies, professional rivalries turn violent, and a notorious gang lord wants his map back. The island itself holds dangers that Freddy and Lumpen couldn't have prepared to face—and horrifying secrets that might be better left buried. Beset by wild beasts, cutthroat competitors, and dangers darker still, the two men fight not for glory, but their own survival… before the island pushes them to the brink of insanity.
My thoughts:
I really enjoyed Barrus' "Discovering Aberration".
On the upside, it's a polished adventure story along the lines of Robert Louis Stevenson or Edgar Rice Burroughs with a touch of steampunk that reminds me of Scott Westerfeld. The characters are solid and well-fleshed out. The story, for the most part, moves along at a fast and enjoyable pace.
One the downside, the pace of the book sputters from time to time.
Having said that, I really enjoyed "Discovering Aberration" and hope to read a sequel some day.
I'm giving this one 4 stars out of 5 and I recommend it. It's a great bang for the buck.

Weather, smeather, notice that the majority of the top ten states are 4 season states? Gallup poll out today. We still have a lot of room for improvement! Here's the story by Gallup:
Hawaii Continues to Lead in Wellbeing; North Dakota Second
Southern states still struggle with low wellbeing
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Americans in Hawaii continued to set the national standard in wellbeing in the first half of 2011, followed closely by North Dakota. West Virginia and Kentucky maintained their status as the states with the lowest wellbeing. Nebraska, which showed the biggest gains in wellbeing rank from 2009 (25th) to 2010 (10th), continued to move up, landing in the top five.
These state-level data, from the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index, are meant to provide a preliminary reading on the wellbeing of U.S. states in anticipation of the complete 2011 rankings, to be released early next year.
The Well-Being Index score for the nation and for each state is an average of six sub-indexes, which individually examine life evaluation, emotional health, work environment, physical health, healthy behaviors, and access to basic necessities. The January through June 2011 aggregate includes more than 177,000 interviews conducted among national adults, aged 18 and older.
The midyear Well-Being Index score for the country so far in 2011 is 66.4, a slight decline from 66.8 for all of 2010. The Well-Being Index is calculated on a scale of 0 to 100, where a score of 100 would represent ideal wellbeing. Well-Being Index scores among states vary by a range of 8.7 points.
Southern States Continue to Struggle With Low Wellbeing
More states in the South than anywhere else in the country have wellbeing scores in the lower range, as has been true in the past. Eight of the bottom 11 states in wellbeing (Missouri is classified as a Midwestern state) are Southern states.
Many Western states, in contrast, thrive in wellbeing, with four out of the top seven — Hawaii, Alaska, Colorado, and Utah — located in that region of the country. Five Midwestern states — North Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota, Kansas, and Iowa — are also in the top 12, as are three Eastern states: New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maryland.
North Dakota's Well-Being Index composite score has moved up proportionally more than any other state since last year, to 70.5 from 68.4. Wellbeing in Wyoming has declined the most, dropping to 66.5 thus far in 2011 from 69.2 last year, though Wyoming has a relatively small sample size at the halfway point of the year, and thus, a larger margin of error. (See page 2 for a complete list of state Well-Being Index scores.)
Hawaii Again Tops List in Emotional and Physical Health
On the sub-indexes that make up the broader Well-Being Index, Hawaii is tops in Emotional Health and Physical Health, two domains in which it perennially leads the nation. Alaska does the best on Life Evaluation, North Dakota on Work Environment, and Vermont on Healthy Behavior, typically its strongest area. Massachusetts, which is always at or near the top in Basic Access, is once again leading on that dimension thus far in 2011.
At the bottom, West Virginia fares worst on Life Evaluation and Physical Health — two areas in which residents of this state have seriously struggled since the launch of the Well-Being Index in 2008. Kentucky performs worst on Emotional Health, and Mississippi is again at the bottom on Basic Access, consistent with three previous years of tracking. Louisiana has the lowest Work Environment score so far in 2011, replacing Delaware for the first time since 2009 in that bottom spot. Oklahomans exhibit the unhealthiest behaviors.

[This information is from Vol. IV, pp. 1543-1546 of Hudson-Mohawk Genealogical and Family Memoirs, edited by Cuyler Reynolds (New York: Lewis Historical Publishing Company, 1911). It is in the Reference collection of the Schenectady County Public Library at R 929.1 R45. Some of the formatting of the original, especially in lists of descendants, may have been altered slightly for ease of reading.]
The Murray family settled in Massachusetts and Connecticut prior to the revolution. One branch settled at Torrington, Connecticut, and it is from this family that Daniel Murray, grandfather of Dr. William H. Murray, of Albany, descends. Through the marriage of Francis M. Murray to Sarah Lockwood, descent is obtained from Robert Lockwood, "the emigrant," 1630, from England. Burke's "General Armory" gives the arms of Lockwood — Argent, a fesse between three martlets sable. Crest: On the stump of an oak tree erased proper a martlet, sable. Motto: Tutus in undus (Secure against the waves).
(I) Robert Lockwood came from England about 1630 and settled in Watertown, Massachusetts, where six of his children were born. He was made a freeman, March 9, 1636. About 1646 he removed to Fairfield, Connecticut, where he died 1658. He was made a freeman of Connecticut, May 20, 1652. He was appointed sergeant of the train band, May, 1657. He died intestate, and the court ordered the division of his property; one-third to the widow, the ten children dividing the remainder. His widow, Susannah, married (second) Jeffery Ferris, and died at "Grinwich," December 23, 1663. Children:
(II) Lieutenant Jonathan, eldest son of Robert and Susannah Lockwood, was born in Watertown, Massachusetts, September 10, 1634, died in Greenwich, Connecticut, May 12, 1688. He signed a paper January 1, 1657, at "Easttowne" in the New Netherlands, promising allegiance to the Dutch governor, "so long as we live in his jurisdiction." He was of Stamford, Connecticut, October 16, 1660, resided there until 1665, when he sold his estate there and removed to Greenwich. He became a freeman there in 1670, was assistant in May, 1671, and in 1672 "one of the twenty-seven proprietors." He became a leading citizen, and represented the town in the legislature four years. He died in 1688, the people met in town meeting and passed resolutions deploring the loss of so good a man and valuable a citizen. He married Mary, daughter of Jeffery Ferris, his stepfather, by a former marriage. Mary survived him and married (second) Sergeant Thomas Merritt, of Rye. Children of Lieutenant Jonathan Lockwood:
(III) Joseph, son of Lieutenant Jonathan and Mary (Ferris) Lockwood, was born at Stamford, Connecticut, 1675, died 1759, at Poundridge, Westchester county, New York, where he removed in 1743. He married (first), May 19, 1698, Elizabeth Ayres, who died December 16, 1715. Married (second), August 10, 1716, Margery Webb, born October 4, 1683, died January 2, 1736, daughter of James and Hannah (Scofield) Webb. Children by first wife:
Children by second wife:
(IV) Joseph (2), son of Joseph (1) and Elizabeth (Ayres) Lockwood, was born at Stamford, Connecticut, March 15, 1699, died at Poundridge, Westchester county, New York, June 15, 1757. He removed with his father to Poundridge in 1743. He was a farmer. He married Sarah, born April 1, 1706, died 1790, daughter of Joshua and Mary (Pickett) Hoyt. Her father was one of the proprietors of the Stamford patent, granted 1685. Children:
(V) Joseph (3), son of Joseph (2) and Sarah (Hoyt) Lockwood, was born at Stamford, Connecticut, June 30, 1731, died at Poundridge, Westchester county, New York, March 17, 1792. He continued on the farm with his father until his death, when the estate of five hundred acres was divided between his brother, Major Ebenezer Lockwood and himself, being the only surviving sons. The farm is located on a beautiful ridge of land on which a pound being located gave it the name, Poundridge. (This property is yet in the family name.) He was elected town clerk in 1760, was commissioned captain of a military company, September 13, 1775. He was at Ticonderoga in 1775 in command of his company. He married Hannah, daughter of Solomon Close, of North Salem, New York. She survived and became the third wife of Captain James Richards, of New Canaan, Connecticut. She died December 22, 1806. Children:
(VI) Solomon, son of Joseph (3) and Hannah (Close) Lockwood, was born at Poundridge, New York, August 28, 1766, died March 9, 1841. He married Mary, born April 16, 1770, died May 6, 1848, daughter of Odle Close, of Greenwich, Connecticut. Children:
Daniel Murray was of Scotch ancestry and may have been a descendant of William Murray, of Amherst, Massachusetts, who was born in Scotland, 1690, came to America in 1720, married Hannah Dickinson, descendant of Nathaniel Dickinson, who came in 1635, one of the founders of Hadley, Massachusetts. Daniel Murray died in Connecticut, at the age of eighty years. He married and had a large family, including
(II) Francis N., son of Daniel Murray, was born in 1810, in Westport, Connecticut. He was educated and grew to manhood in that state. In 1849 he caught the gold-seeker's fever and joined a company going to California. He left his family in Connecticut and traveled westward by way of the Isthmus. Taking ship from there he sailed for San Francisco and died just before reaching that port. He was buried at sea and it was many months before his family learned his fate. He married Sarah Elizabeth Lockwood, born at Poundridge, Westchester county, New York, daughter of Solomon and Mary (Close) Lockwood (see Lockwood VI).
(III) William H., son of Francis N. and Sarah Elizabeth (Lockwood) Murray, was born at Poundridge, Westchester county, New York, December 2, 1845. He was five years of age when his father left home on his fatal California trip, and his early training and education depended upon his widowed mother. He was educated under a private tutor and at Bett's Military Academy, Stamford, Connecticut, where he was graduated in 1863. He entered Union College the following autumn and, pursuing a full course, was graduated A.B., class of 1867. He taught a private school at Bellefonte, Pennsylvania, with much success. At this time a young man in town was striving to secure an education. Dr. Murray, to help him both in his study and slender purse, allowed him to share his room and tutored him in Latin and Greek branches, in which he was unusually proficient and well qualified to teach. This young man was, later, Governor Hastings, of Pennsylvania. He never forgot the assistance rendered him, but always gave Mr. Murray great credit for his success in life. With the capital secured while an instructor he took a course at Albany Medical College, where he was graduated M.D., 1869. In 1870 he began the practice of medicine in Albany, where he yet continues. He is a popular and skilled physician and surgeon, standing high among his professional brethren and highly regarded everywhere. It was said at one time he could call every man in the city by name. He has been much in public life, and is identified with the leading social and fraternal organizations. He is a member of the State and County Medical societies, and was president of the latter. He was an organizer of the Hospital for Incurables, and since its inception has been president of the board of trustees. His desire to be of service to his city and fellowmen had induced him to accept numerous public trusts. He served as supervisor of his ward for five years; president of the board of alderman for one year; district physician; police surgeon; county physician; coroner's physician; penitentiary physician and city physician. During his incumbency of the office, president of the board of aldermen of Albany, the contest occurred between Dr. Swinburne and Nolan over the mayoralty. While this contest was passing the courts, Dr. Murray, by virtue of his office, was acting mayor of Albany. He is a prominent member of the Masonic order, holding all degrees of the York Rite, and is a thirty-second degree member of the Scottish Rite; and a member of the Shrine. He has passed all the chairs in the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias, and the Red Men. His clubs are the University and Albany. He is a Democrat and retains his active influential position in the party he has served so well.
He married, in Schenectady, in 1868 (Rev. Dr. Payne, Episcopal minister, officiating), Martha B., daughter of James M. Bouck, and granddaughter of William C. Bouck, governor of New York, elected in 1842. James M. Bouck was a prominent lawyer of Schenectady, New York, and postmaster of that city. His brother, Colonel Gabriel Bouck, served in the civil war in 1861-65, removed to Oshkosh, Wisconsin, where he became attorney-general and one of the most prominent and wealthy men of the state; was grand master of the Free and Accepted Masons, and a man of sterling character. James M. Bouck married Charlotte Van Vorst, of Burnt Hills, Saratoga county, New York, sister of ex-Mayor Van Vorst, of Schenectady. Dr. and Martha B. Murray have one son,

Alice at Wonderland has once again proved her elite typing talents with a comprehensive transcript of the "Creating parallel experiences between entertainment and MMOs" panel at the Hollywood & Games Summit held last week in Los Angeles. Cool conference, excellent speakers. On this particular topic, the pundits included Corey Bridges from Multiverse, Nick Beliaeff from SOE, Mike Lewis from Cryptic, Rob Pardo from Blizzard and Jeff Yapp from MTV. Choice quotes:
So people are seeing the relationship with the consumer that these games have - 8 years with Everquest! - and people think, Omigosh, an 8 year paid relationship?
from Sony Online Entertainment
...we can take people from watching our show to living our show. That's what makes it inevitable.
from MTV
These are just at the beginning. There are juicy nuggets throughout the talk.
While you're at it, read up on Jesse Alexander's thought on the subject (of course, via Alice). It's mighty pleasing to hear the Executive Producer of personal teevee faves Lost and Heroes talk at length about how important games techniques are to the future entertainment media experience.

The grounds of Burghley House will be transformed into a sea of pink once again this summer as women take part in Race for Life.
The annual event will take place at the stately home, near Stamford, on Sunday, June 2, to raise vital funds for Cancer Research UK.
Registration for the event has now opened and women of all shapes and sizes are being urged to put their best foot forward and take part.
Last year, 2,901 women took part in the event and raised a huge £135,515 towards Cancer Research UK's life-saving work.
Organisers are hoping to get a similar amount of women taking part but have set a fundraising goal of £213,682.
Cancer Research UK's event manager for the east Julie Braithwaite said every day 80 people are diagnosed with cancer in the East of England.
She said: "Come on ladies, please play your part by entering Race for Life in Stamford today. Together, we can hit cancer where it hurts.
"There are over 200 cancers and we won't give up until we find cures for them all. It's fighting talk, and we mean every word we say."
She said women of all levels of fitness can take part in the event, which has 5km or 10km routes.
Women can either walk, jog or run the route alone or with a group of friends, family members or colleagues.
Julie said everyone at the events is united by their determination to beat cancer.
She added: "Race for Life is an amazing way to celebrate life but also remember those who have been lost to the disease.
"Participants may be decked out in pink or fancy dress but what's inescapable is the power and strength that comes from thousands of women joining together to confront cancer.
"Don't be fooled by the tutus and tiaras. Stamford Race for Life is cancer's worst nightmare."
The Stamford event is one of more than 230 events across the country, which includes an evening event at Ferry Meadows in Peterborough on Tuesday, July 9. Cancer Research UK, which works in partnership with Tesco, hopes to recruit 560,000 women and raise £50m in total.

Light fantastical comedy in which Sally Field moves into her old home and bumps into the ghost of her dead husband just as she's about to marry a new one.

Three area wine experts competed in a "sommelier throwdown" at the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's annual Taste of Compassion fundraiser, held Thursday at the Normanside Country Club in Delmar.
The competitors: Joseph Carr, second from right, a local resident and owner of Joseph Carr Wines, which since 2005 has produced vintages in California's Napa Valley; Dominick Purnomo, right, sommelier of Yono's and DP: An American Brasserie in downtown Albany; and Greg Taylor, second from left, assistant vice president and general sales manager of the importer-distributor Frederick Wildman Wines.
The sommeliers each brought different wines representing four categories: rose, "anything but chardonnay," New World reds and "anything goes." An audience of approximately 50 VIPs tasted the wines, the sommeliers offered commentary, and the audience voted on their favorites. I moderated the throwdown.
Carr's wines won by a significant margin. They were Etude pinot noir rose (Carneros, Calif., about $20 retail), Hermann Donnhoff Riesling (Nahe, Germany, $50), John's Blend cabernet sauvignon 2003 (Langhorne Creek, Australia, $40) and Betts & Scholl grenache (Barossa Valley, Australia, $25).
A mixed case of all 12 wines brough by Carr, Purnomo and Taylor was sold for $475 during a silent auction later in the evening. The entire fundraiser brought in about $50,000 for LLS.

Interesting comments... does anyone do homework these days? What good is it to say "I did it professor, here's the assignment" if you did not read it and learned from it. Anyhow, in my opinon it is a good book. It flows easily, shows the harshness of real combat, debasing experiences, mutilations, etc. A must, now that we are at war AGAIN!

Thanks to a team of community members and tradesmen, the great American pastime is alive and well in the City of Destiny.
After 51 seasons of play, the community came together to create a stadium fit for 2010 Pacific Coast League champions, the Tacoma Rainiers. Through one of the wettest winters in local history, 115 of our neighbors and friends took on the challenge to renovate Cheney Stadium before the first pitch of the 2011 season. Their work was complete in only 210 days – a triumph of determination, even by today's standards.
Walking through the new gates into a wide-open concourse, it is easy to see where these efforts were focused. New concession buildings have replaced decrepit old shacks. Turn around and you'll see new ticketing buildings, a team store and a sweet shop selling ice cream.
Take a few steps towards where the old bleachers stood, and the new berm comes into view – my son's favorite spot in the whole park. Below the façade, a new skeleton of steel reinforces the original structure, bringing the whole park to the engineering standards of today's public venues.
Whether you love it or hate it, or find yourself somewhere in between, Tacoma's new ballpark is the culmination of efforts by many in this great city. See for yourself. Visit the park and see what the Rainiers can do.
This building is about baseball – and those of us who love the game will love the experience of the new Cheney Stadium.
(Golding was Mortenson Construction's project manager on the stadium renovation.)

Sports Isn't Newsworthy? Since When?October 1, 2008
The sideways glances. Whispers behind your back. Feelings of distaste toward you so strong you feel like you're wading through them. Snide comments. Rolling eyes.
And no, I'm not talking about a Sooner walking around in Stillwater or a Trojan in South Bend or a Yankee at Fenway. I'm talking about the odd hatred news reporters seem to have for sports writers.
Maybe it's an isolated incident, but even so it deserves comment. I just started with Nebraska's campus paper, the Daily Nebraskan. I was so pumped to get started and totally stoked to be with the sports desk.
I sat in on the budget meeting and listened to the veterans vie for stories. Afterward, like any good sports desk, we started talking about MLB and making predictions (needless to say, my prediction that the Mets could still limp into playoffs didn't quite turn out how I'd hoped).
It was then that I noticed the glances, whispers and distaste. The news reporters were quietly discussing among themselves how simple we sports types are. Then it happened.
"Hey, this is a newsroom, not a sports bar. If you want to talk about sports" (we were currently standing AT the sports desk, the place of talking about sports) "then take it somewhere else."
We weren't talking loudly. There was lots of other chatter—it's a newsroom, for goodness' sake. Other reporters were talking about their stories, engaging in political discussion and the like. We weren't disturbing the news folks.
Why is it then that there's this animosity between "us" and "them"? Is it because our coverage of Brett Favre's post-retirement pre-season pre-unretirement antics doesn't measure up to the newsworthiness of their in-depth investigative breaking news about the girl that rides her unicycle to class?
Sports is news, just like politics or religion or economics. Yet they view us like they view entertainment writers who shovel up the latest celebrity gossip: just a necessary evil to satisfy the consumer mentality of the readership.
I'm still just a newbie in this business, so I ask: Is this the way things will be? Will they hate us for writing about sports for the paper and be angry when a sports story (like something as small as the Super Bowl, national championship or World Series) makes it to the front page? Is it like this everywhere or is this an isolated event of college kids being college kids?
Regardless, I consider my sports desk just as important to the newspaper as anything else. And I think it's low of these people to discredit sports fans everywhere by saying what we love is not news.

Year Founded

1732

Founded By

James Oglethorpe

Early Exploration of Georgia

While Spanish conquistadors were the first Europeans to explore Georgia, they never set up a permanent colony in its boundaries. In 1540, Hernando de Soto did travel through Georgia and created notes about the Native American inhabitants he found there. In addition, missions were set up along the Georgia coast. Later, English settlers from South Carolina would travel into Georgia territory to trade with the Native Americans they found there.

Motivation for Founding the Colony of Georgia

It was not until 1732 that the colony of Georgia was actually created. This made it the last of the thirteen British colonies to be created, a full fifty years after Pennsylvania came into being. James Oglethorpe was a well known British soldier who thought that one way to deal with debtors who were taking up a lot of room in British prisons was to send them to settle a new colony. However, when King George II Granted Oglethorpe the right to create this colony named after himself, it was to serve a much different purpose. The new colony was to be located between South Carolina and Florida. Its boundaries were much larger than today's state of Georgia, including much of present-day Alabama and Mississippi. Its goal was to protect South Carolina and the other southern colonies from possible Spanish incursions. In fact, no prisoners were amongst the first settlers to the colony in 1733. Instead, the inhabitants were charged with creating a number of forts along the border to help protect against invasion. They were able to repel the Spanish from these positions a number of times.

Ruled by a Board of Trustees

Georgia was unique amongst the thirteen British colonies in that no local governor was appointed or elected to oversee its population. Instead, the colony was ruled by a Board of Trustees that were located back in London. The Board of Trustees ruled that slavery, Catholics, lawyers, and rum were all banned within the colony.

Georgia and the War of Independence

In 1752, Georgia became a royal colony and the British parliament selected royal governors to rule it. They held power until 1776, with the beginning of the American Revolution. Georgia was not a real presence in the fight against Great Britain. In fact, due to its youth and stronger ties to the 'Mother Country', many inhabitants sided with the British. Nonetheless, there were some staunch leaders from Georgia in the fight for independence including three signers of the Declaration of Independence. After the war, Georgia became the fourth state to ratify the US Constitution.

Significant Events

In 1733, a group of settlers joined Oglethorpe to found Savannah, Georgia.

Georgia began with the intention to have little landholding and no slavery. However, when it became a royal colony in 1752, the ban on slavery was lifted. Plantations and slavery became a major part of the Georgian economy.

Georgia was in the first group of states to ratify the new Constitution after the Revolutionary War ended.

text: Caroline Ray and Chloe Amour together was like a Latina dream come true. When we caught up to them they were wearing nothing but tiny thong bikinis that exposed their nipples and pussy lips. It was crazy hot. The ladies shook those asses and even did some slip-and-slide in a pool of baby oil. Of course, they rubbed down their incredible gleaming bodies in the sunlight. About that time, Brick showed up. Caroline was being frisky, teased him, and then threw him into the mini-pool where he got soaked. Then the girls stripped down and had their way with him, as they rubbed their pussies all over his face and both sucked his cock at the same time. Although those spicy Latina pussies were a handful, Brock was up to the challenge and banged each one of those pussies deep. The girls took turns taking the pounding from his cock, as they simultaneously ate the others pussy who wasn't getting cock stuffed. It was a wild all-out threesome, and these ladies were cum hungry. After they'd both gotten theirs, they asked Brock to cum all over their faces. Of course, he obliged them and busted a huge load all over those gorgeous faces and hot tits.

One of the popular screen divas in Nigeria, Mercy Johnson has finally responded to those that blasted her for not observing child-spacing after she had 3 children in less than 3 years. In a recent interview, she was quoted as saying:
"I feel that when you haven't gone through life and you don't have a bearing in life, that's when you see certain decisions as unreasonable. Most of these people who make these statements have not even realised what they want to do with their lives yet.
"I had planned my life right from when I was growing up. I arranged my life the way I wanted it to go. And that is why even when I was at the peak of my career and marriage came, I grabbed it because I know age keeps going and time waits for no one.
"It means that I can have all of my four kids and then still get back to shape and come back to what I love to do. So I am not going to say things like, 'I don't want to have kids yet' or 'I am not going to get married and I want to keep acting because the young shall always grow', you are not going to be number one forever. That is why when it is time for you to do something, you do it. Yoruba will always say in their prayers that when the time for a child to talk has come, by the grace of God, she will talk. When it's time to go to school, he will go to school. That's what I'm trying to do. I want to define my life in a way my daughter will want to define her own life," she said.

An extremely rare T206 Honus Wagner baseball card was sold for a whopping $2.1 million at an auction Saturday morning.Never before has a card sold for that much. The previous high was set back in 2008 when the same card sold for $1.62 million, according to ESPN's Darren Rovell.The buyer is unknown."My overall goal on the T206 Wagner from the start was to set a record for a trading card auction," Ken Goldin of Goldin Auctions, which auctioned the card. "My auction house set a new record by close to $500,000."The card, which was produced between 1909 and 1911, was originally included in cigarette packs, but Wagner's card was later pulled for an undisclosed reason. Speculation is he didn't like the message it sent to young kids about smoking. Wagner, however, smoked and endorsed cigars, leading some to believe he was merely upset with not being paid for his image.Only 60 T206 cards were ever distributed to the general public.Wagner played 21 seasons (1897-1917) in the major leagues and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1936. He boasted a .328 career batting average en route to winning eight National League batting titles. His 130.3 Wins Above Replacement ranks as the seventh-most among position players all-time.Other items sold at the auction included a replica 2009 World Series ring ($50,398), and a signed Derek Jeter game-used bat from the 2001 World Series ($37,486).Via Eye on Baseball

George Mason in the News
Posted: September 30, 2005 at 1:00 am, Last Updated: November 30, -0001 at 12:00 am
The following are highlights of news coverage George Mason received during the past week.
Friday, Sept. 23, Washington Business Journal
George Mason University Raises $142M in Latest Fund-Raising Campaign
"A George Mason University campaign raised $142 million in private support for the school. The Campaign for George Mason University began in 2002 with a goal to raise $110 million. 'We are grateful to all of our alumni and friends who have helped establish a new tradition of giving at George Mason,' says Campaign Chair Sidney Dewberry in a release. He is chairman of engineering and architectural firm Dewberry in Fairfax and rector of George Mason's Board of Visitors. The university will use the money for research and academic initiatives, facility upgrades and student programs."
Sunday, Sept. 25, USA Today
EMC Chief Tucci Has Twice Led Turnarounds
"EMC has been one of the most dramatic turnaround stories of the past few years. In 2000, EMC got 74 percent of its revenue from storage hardware, 16 percent from software that managed stored data and 10 percent from consulting services that helped companies figure out how to deal with their data 'They've become quite diversified with a good mix,' says J.P. Auffret, tech business professor at George Mason University. 'They are well positioned for future technology changes.'"
Monday, Sept. 26, Voice of America
Hurricane Aftermath Sparks Debate over Poverty
"In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, the nation was faced with gripping television pictures from New Orleans of thousands of people, mostly poor and African-American, struggling to evacuate and to stay alive in their flooded city. Those images have sparked the beginning of a renewed national debate on the plight of the poor in America's cities, and what should be done about it. 'This is the other America that we do not see that often,' noted Toni-Michelle Travis, an expert on poverty and race at George Mason University in Virginia. 'This is the urban poor, and they are struggling. They are really trying to make a living, have a family and a home, and it is very difficult for them. I think something like 36 million [people] are still below the poverty level.'"
Tuesday, Sept. 27, The Ledger (Lakeland, Fla.)
Hurricane Victims Face Tighter Limits on Bankruptcy
"When Congress agreed this spring to tighten the bankruptcy laws and crack down on consumers who took on debt irresponsibly, no one had the victims of Hurricane Katrina in mind. The law was intended to keep individuals from taking on debts they had no intention of paying off. But many once-solvent Katrina victims are likely to be caught up in the net intended to catch deadbeats. Defenders of the new law note that judges will still have the discretion to waive its strict restrictions on filing under Chapter 7, a faster and simpler type of bankruptcy that, among other things, allows consumers to walk away from some obligations. 'There's nothing in the bill to suggest that you can get blood from a stone,' Todd J. Zywicki, a law professor at George Mason University, said in an interview last week between Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. 'The new legislation is perfectly suited to deal with circumstances such as this.'"

Personal loans: what you need to know

Personal loans explained
Find out how much you can borrow with a personal loan and what the difference is between a secured and unsecured loan.
If you're looking to borrow a lump sum over a fixed period of time, an unsecured personal loan could be for you.
An unsecured personal loan will usually be cheaper than a standard, and you can borrow more than with a current account overdraft.
But you need to know how these loans work, what to watch out for and how they compare with secured loans.
Personal loans: how much do they cost?
Personal loans are a particularly good way to borrow if you need a larger amount – as a general rule, loans tend to get cheaper the more you borrow, up to a maximum of about £25,000.
Loan companies must show the annual percentage rate (APR) charged on loans in their adverts. The APR takes into account any fees and charges that you may have to pay, as well as the interest rate. This is the rate you should use to compare deals – the lower the APR, the cheaper the loan.
Go further: see our round-up of the cheapest personal loans on the market to help you find the best deal
Personal loans: pricing
Bear in mind that all advertised loan APRs are 'representative', meaning that not all successful applicants will be offered that rate. At least 51% of borrowers must get the advertised typical loan rate, but you could end up with one that's higher.
The problem with this risk-based pricing is that because you have to apply in order to find out the rate you'll get, the provider will run a credit search and leave a 'footprint' on your file. Too many credit searches within a short period of time can adversely affect your credit rating.
Go further: check your credit report before applying for any form of credit to get a better idea of how likely you are to be accepted
Personal loans: fixed rate, fixed term
Most unsecured personal loan providers will lend you a fixed amount of money at a fixed rate, to be paid back over a fixed period of time. This means that you'll know from the day you take it out how much you'll have to pay each month, when the loan is due to be repaid and the total amount of interest you'll be charged.
Usually, you can borrow between £1,000 and £10,000 with a personal loan, although loans for as much as £25,000 are sometimes available. Personal loans are generally paid back over a period of between three and 10 years.
Go further: peer-to-peer lending explained – find out about an alternative way to borrow
Personal loans: early repayment penalties
If you want to pay more off your loan each month than is required, or want to pay it off entirely with a lump sum before the end of the term, some lenders might charge you a penalty for the privilege. It isn't unusual to be charged one or two months' interest.
However, there are loan providers who don't charge early repayment penalties. If you think you might be able to pay off your loan early, it makes sense to go for one of these.
Go further: how to cancel a loan – we explain what to look out for if you want to cancel a loan early.
Personal loans: secured or unsecured?
Secured loans are backed by your property, meaning that your home could be repossessed if you're unable to keep up with repayments. For this reason, it's wise to tread very carefully when considering this type of borrowing.
Secured loans might be worth considering if you want to borrow a larger amount, as their rates tend to be slightly lower than unsecured loans. However, secured loans also tend to have higher minimum advances and longer minimum terms. It's important to remember that paying a lower loan rate over a longer period of time can be more expensive than taking out a higher rate loan over a shorter period.
Secured loans have variable rates, meaning that your provider can increase the cost of borrowing at any time. However, because unsecured loans are at a fixed rate, you know from the outset how much you'll be paying.

It's nice to have friends in high places, and when the Pit Bull talks I have to listen.
Whatever your trading method, when the S&P looks the worst you have to fade the trade. That's exactly what happened over the last two days. On Wednesday, the S&P poured lower all day, closing on its low at 1609.50. It then sold off sharply overnight to 1591.75. Then yesterday, it opened lower, but still above the Globex low, and rallied all day.
Just when you think they are no good
Good soldiers hold their ground, and so far this year the S&P has held its ground. What has made this so hard to trade is we can see the sea change, but as soon as it started to develop, new price action started to show something else. The ESU (the September mini-S&P future) — not to mention everything around you — said the S&P would go lower.
That's when you have to start buying. That's precisely what happened on the previous selloff down to 1597, and it happened again this week. This erratic stop-and-go price action has become unpredictable and made for some very large downside false starts.
Trend day up / trend day down
While I have been in the S&P futures since 1985, the current price action is about as confusing and irrational as I have ever seen. Of course it's impossible to catch every twist and turn, but generally when you figure out the trend it becomes easier to trade.
The last few days have not shown us a clear trend. Instead, it has have been a perfect example of something we rarely see: the S&P going from a sharply lower, trend day down to a nonstop trend day up.
Not technically driven
While we fully believe in technical analysis, we don't believe that the last two days had much to do with "levels." Sure, Wednesday's high bounced up against a moving average, but when the e-mini S&P starts moving hard in one direction it's important to remember that 70% of the volume is program and algorithmic trading.
So when the S&P goes sharply lower, most of that 70% is algos searching for sell stops and sell programs. Additionally, it's not just the algos that get turned on at 8:30 and turned off at 3:00. Retail traders are fighting in there as well, reading or not reading the news, reacting or not reacting, each running his own fuzzy mental algorithms.
Pulling the trigger
One of the most important rules the Pit Bull (Marty Schwartz) has taught me is self-preservation. Just because you have the money to risk doesn't mean you have to put it on the line. Over the years I have seen so many good traders both on and off the floor self-destruct. And why? Because they thought they were smarter than the markets. Most good traders are smart, but when the markets prove them wrong, they're also smart enough to get out with money left. They live to fight another day.
On Wednesday the Pit Bull had a big crude oil position on that he had been fighting to protect both on the up and the down side by selling calls and puts. It's a classic spread, not for the faint of heart, but one experienced traders can use effectively. When crude sold off he rolled lower and sold futures.
This is one of the hardest games in the world to play, and Marty Schwartz is one of the best individual players in the game. After watching him get whipped around by what he calls the "crude oil algos," I felt strongly that it wasn't the downside he had to worry about.
The Pit Bull reacted to the down move falsely created by the algo selloff. The next day he was scrambling to get out and start protecting the upside. In this kind of massive adjustment, the only one that wins is the clearing firm.
As crude started to rally this week he started to scramble to the upside. He was trading thousands of contracts. When he got me on the phone I could hear that his voice had changed. I have known him for 25 years so I know how he sounds when he is shaken.
He adjusted his position, in part because he had to fly to France to see his horse race. I congratulated him on a smart move. He had narrowed the position down to making $400 to $500k and risking "only $1mil." I was happy to hear that, but I know that's not how he trades. I told him so and, sure enough, an hour later he called back and said, "I took down all the upside call risk," meaning he had bought back all those short calls, leaving only the puts he had sold down at strike prices of 90 and 88 bucks. If Thursday's uptrend continues, those calls would have increased in price and he'd be at greater risk. He was humble enough to acknowledge that.
He made a hard decision to maintain the winning part of the position going into today's CL option expiration and take off the other side of the spread. Now he can keep the premium he collected on the puts. He made a conscious decision to take down the riskier part of the position before it forced him to react, buy futures and roll higher.
Moral of the story? Let me just paraphrase what Marty chose to write in the final paragraph of his book. That he chose this to be the closing thought says as much about its importance as the idea itself.
He said you have to choose between your need to be right and your need to "hear the cash register ring." The next time (and it will be soon) that your ego tells you to hold on because you're just a few more bars away from being proven right, ask your ego a simple question: How much are you willing to pay for the feeling of not being wrong? Is it worth more to you than the feeling of being out safely with money in your account? You can be wrong a lot of the time about market direction and still be profitable — but only if you master your ego.
Our view: Yesterday's big rally in the S&P has helped push Asia and Europe higher this morning. We have several economic numbers this morning and the Ned Davis S&P cash study shows today being up 16 / down 12 of the last 28 occasions. The erratic stop-and-go price action has made it very hard to predict. Our view is to sell the early rally and buy weakness. As we head into the June quarterly expiration and the Ned Davis S&P cash study showing 4 out of 5 days next week being up, we have to agree with the Pit Bull that the S&P may attempt a run at 1650. As always, keep an eye on the 10-handle rule and please use stops when trading futures.
