Jeff Dean and Gerry Black have been trading as a team for many years and have evolved along with their approach to trading options. The two launched the ITB Capital Management commodity pool in 2006 largely as a naked option writing strategy. It slowly has become more of a volatility value strategy that both buys and sells options on the S&P 500.
"Like most options sellers, we like volatility. It is just getting there, the rate of change of the volatility, that is what caused problems," Dean says.
That rate of change caused some large drawdowns in the early days of the program, particularly in 2008, so the two added long option positions to hedge the risk of volatility spikes.
"When we are buying options it is 1) for risk management and 2) to capture incremental return based on where we perceive the movement is going to be over the next options cycle," Dean says.
In addition to being both buyers and sellers of options, ITB looks at both technicals and fundamentals and uses discretion.
"Jeff and I are never off the desk, we are consistently moving positions," Black says. "Most [option] sellers I've run into are very static, they sell both sides and wait. We are actively running it by the minute. If the risk-reward does not show that it is wise to keep that short position, we are going to move it or we are going to take a long position to counteract it."
Black was introduced to Dean in the 1980s through another customer of the stock and futures brokerage James I. Black & Co., which his father launched in 1964. Black began to trade futures for himself and select customers. "I realized that Jeff and I traded very similarly. We very rarely disagreed on anything," Black says. "When we decided to do the fund, I asked Jeff if he would retire from his [executive position at a building product firm] and go out on a venture with nothing. He said, 'Yes,' and we did it."
While the program had immediate success both in terms of performance and building assets, it returned double-digits in each of its first two years and surpassed $50 million under management in six months. ITB had its best year in 2012, 30.5%, after making two significant changes.
After dropping more than 20% in July and August of 2011, ITB expanded its options buying.
"We [studied the drawdown] over and over to see what went wrong," Dean says. "We figured out that we were lifting our [option buying] techniques too quickly and weren't adjusting the short positions correctly, so we refined our program. It really turned out that we were taking a little upside off of the table."
Most trades are now initiated as ratio spreads, but they can leg into butterflies as well and constantly adjust positions initiated at the beginning of each monthly option cycle.

This nation faces a clear choice this September. President Bush will insist that the Congress continue the war in Iraq and demand another $50 billion for the occupation. That is on top of the $147 billion already pending for Iraq and Afghanistan this year, and that's on top of the $460 billion annual military budget. The United States will spend about as much as the rest of the world combined on its military this year.
At the same time, the President vows to veto any spending on domestic programs that exceeds his budget. He's threatened to veto any increases for children's health care (even as more children go without health insurance), for college loans and scholarships, for public schools, for renewable energy, for basic infrastructure. The difference between the president's budget and that of the Congress is about $20 billion. The president says that's a lot of money - over "$1,300 in higher spending every second of every minute of every hour." His request for Iraq this year is about eight times greater, or $10,400 every second of every hour. The total estimated cost of Iraq now exceeds $1 trillion, and rising.
Democrats in the Congress are virtually unanimous in wanting to get US troops out of the civil war in Iraq. Republicans await the reports of General Patraes, the intelligence agencies, the GAO and independent commissions - all due this month. The reports, no doubt, will differ, with the administration claiming progress and others more skeptical. Supporters of the war will see the glass half full; opponents half empty.
But there really isn't much difference in fact. Occupation of a country is hard, costly and deadly. General Patraes has said from the beginning that it will take 10-20 years to pacify Iraq, to rebuild it, and to create a functioning democracy there. If all goes well, that would raise the cost of Iraq to over $2 trillion and over 6000 American lives. A lot more than $20 billion in this year's domestic budget will be sacrificed to bear those costs.
Already we see the domestic costs of this war and our continuing commitment to police the world. A bridge falls in Minneapolis. An aged sewage valve breaks and terrorizes Manhattan. The levies are still not rebuilt to the needed strength in New Orleans. College is getting priced out of reach of working families. Our schools grow older, more crowded and more in need of repair. Our transportation system - from airports to roads to subways - cries out for investment. Our broadband system is the slowest in the industrial world. Our park facilities are in disrepair. America's domestic investment deficit is strangling opportunity.
In Iraq, the US has a three-point plan. Stop the flow of guns and secure the streets. Consolidate a democracy. Invest in vital infrastructure and put Iraqis to work. The US could use that three-point plan too. It would be a lot more cost effective here since we're not yet in the midst of sectarian civil strife.
The choice this September isn't really about Iraq - it is about the US. Like Rome and Britain and the USSR before us, we face a choice - empire or Republic? We can police the streets of Baghdad, patrol the seas, guard the borders of Korea and Bosnia, build a new generation of more deadly nuclear and space weaponry - or we can invest here at home in areas vital to our social and economic health and well-being. We can be the globocop or the city on the hill - but we can't be both.

Recent Wool Vest Reviews
ExOfficio Micro-Bond Wool Vest
Excellent vest. Keeps me warm on cool spring/fall days. Looks good, doesn't/hasn't pilled. I'm 6'4" 230 and ordered an XXL, seems to bit larger than normal but not baggy. Water resistant to a degree. Full review
Ibex Men's Floe Vest
A first rate vest. I run hot even on very cold days when winter mountaineering, so I am great believer in vests. This one is terrific -- does a good job of warding off the wind and snow, good breathability, very stretchy. I use this piece a lot, both in the mountains and around town. If you are looking for something to keep you warm when standing around, this is not it. But for winter mountaineering or to cheat the wind, it is excellent. A good purchase. Full review

It is a national and state election year and more people than just the candidates are throwing their hats into the ring. Diana Weir, who only last week retired from her job as executive vice president of the Long Island Housing Partnership, will take the reins as manager for the congressional campaign of Randy Altschuler, the likely nominee of the Republicans to challenge Representative Tim Bishop's re-election campaign.
Mr. Bishop, a Democrat, and Mr. Altschuler faced off in 2010 in a hard-fought, sometimes bitterly negative, and very close race that was not officially decided until weeks after the election and then by only 593 votes.
While Mr. Altschuler was targeted as a carpetbagger in the last election, adding Ms. Weir to his team should help allay that characterization. "I know so many people, living here for so long. I hear concerns and will do outreach to all: the community leaders and the different groups I've been working with all of my life. I will provide a very local face to show how Randy really cares about the community," she said.
On Tuesday, Chris Russell, a spokesman for the Altschuler campaign, agreed that choosing Ms. Weir to run the campaign would put a local face on the election effort. He dismissed the previous portrayal of Mr. Altschuler as an outsider, noting that "Randy has been a member of the community for several years along with his wife and is raising his kids here." Still, "Diana is a prominent figure locally and that's a plus for us. She will be able to use those connections across the wide range of public and private entities in Suffolk County," which, he added, is struggling economically in comparison to the rest of New York.
Mr. Altschuler went into the last race battle weary from a late primary battle with two other challengers. This time, he has the endorsement of both state and county Republican leaders, including Edward Cox, the state party chairman and father of Mr. Altschuler's previous primary opponent Chris Cox, and John Jay LaValle, the county party chairman. Other officials who have endorsed him include former Governor George Pataki and the Conservative Party's state chairman, Mike Long.
George Demos, who was the other primary opponent in 2010, is expected to mount another challenge this year should the Republican and Conservative parties endorse Mr. Altschuler. Even so, the primary is now scheduled for June, well ahead of the November election.
Ms. Weir, who was former Representative Michael Forbes's chief of staff before he became a Democrat, played key roles in his campaigns. She is a former East Hampton Town Board member and was the first Hispanic councilwoman to serve the town. Her résumé includes other public sector roles, including serving on the board of Long Island Power Authority, the Stony Brook University Council, and as a county human rights commissioner. She holds various honors from El Diario/La Prensa, the Suffolk County Hispanic Heritage Month, and the United States Small Business Administration. She was also recently appointed to the East Hampton Town Planning Board.
Ms. Weir said that Mr. Altschuler's "pulled-up-by-his-bootstraps" background inspired her and she felt she was needed by the campaign. "He understands what it is to survive tough times. Raised by a single mother, he and his brother had to struggle to get where they are and he is very proud of that."
She said this year's election will be about jobs. In a new rebuff to assertions that Mr. Altschuler's first company, Office Tiger, was a job outsourcer, she said the Obama administration "outsourced the space mission to Russia. It's just the way it is" in the global economy. Still, she said that should not detract from the need for people in government who "have had to make a payroll, make a business happen, make jobs happen." Mr. Altschuler sold Office Tiger in 2006 and now owns a domestic electronic equipment recycling company called CloudBlue that has created more than 300 American jobs, according to his campaign.
Local issues will count, but it is the state of the national economy trickling down to large job losses on Long Island that will be a centerpiece of the campaign, Ms. Weir said. "At different times, we have different needs. Right now, it's the economy. You can't get away from it." Pressures on small businesses from new health mandates and tight credit and a "housing market in shambles" will also be key issues. "We need a major shake up."
And, once again, things could get ugly. Asked about the negative and sometimes scurrilous ads put forward by both sides last time, Ms. Weir said it was possible to see more of the same this time. "It's just the business of things on both sides. We will go on the record with hard facts and build our message."
Since Mr. Altschuler has not been officially designated as the Republican candidate, Ms. Weir said the campaign will continue to work relatively quietly until then. An announcement is possible in the next week or so, according to Mr. Russell.
Although Mr. Altschuler lost last time, she said it's a different election this year and this has always been a swing district. "I figure Tim Bishop has been in office a long time, eight years. We have momentum, we will keep it going."

Given the depressing nature of most "Oprah Book Club" selections, it's a wonder Prozac isn't the talkshow's biggest sponsor. Still, it's hard to quibble with her taste. "The Book of Ruth" comes to CBS with that tony imprimatur, and the result is a taut, uneasy movie, buoyed by Christine Lahti's venomous performance as a woman who needn't worry about being voted mother of the year.
CBS couldn't have picked a more understated production to face off against NBC's flashy disaster miniseries "10.5," but the faults here are no less fractious and poised to erupt, lurking barely beneath the surface.
Told through flashback, the story opens with the title character (Nicholle Tom, quite grown up since "The Nanny") doused in blood and suspected of murder, subsequently re-creating the sad trail that brought her to this point. Neglected by her mother, Maylene (Lahti), she can only watch with resignation as mom showers affection on Ruth's can't-get-away-fast-enough brother while affording her Cinderella-like contempt.
Quiet and awkward, Ruth stumbles into a relationship with the unstable and mostly aimless Ruby ("8 Mile's" Evan Jones). Typical of Ruth's luck, they meet decidedly un-cute: He asks if she wants to see his "one-eyed snake" on their first date, then forces himself on her.
Seemingly out of sheer desperation, romance blossoms, with the two marrying and Ruby moving in with Ruth and Maylene. Mom's disgust with her son-in-law nearly eclipses her disdain for her daughter, who finds herself uncomfortably caught in the middle.
Director Bill Eagles and writer Suzette Couture establish a brooding sense of menace, thanks in no small part to Lahti's seething presence as a woman whose lacerating anger is released in small, repeated pinpricks. It's to Lahti's credit that her horrid character conveys sadness without engendering sympathy as she selectively lashes out at those around her.
Tom and Jones, meanwhile, are nearly as impressive as the hapless daughter and her pill-popping beau, whose childlike qualities include an unsettling penchant for destructive tantrums.
Despite hinting at the not-unusual notes about sacrifices and choices made, "The Book of Ruth" resists easy answers.
For all the talk about the TV movie's gradual fadeout from network TV, CBS' Sunday franchise has managed to weather that storm this season, delivering several solid yarns after setbacks that included the network's bailing out on "The Reagans" and dismal exploitation of the Elizabeth Smart case.
By that measure, "Ruth" offers a reminder of how effectively and briskly such a small, character-driven story can be told in the movie format, honoring the novel that inspired it by becoming the equivalent of a page-turner.

I've been enjoying the replies thus far, but the actual responses, sadly, I've tried looking into. Most of em (all of em) require a driver's license that I don't have yet (I know, terrible of me). I may try and get the stupid license and be done with it instead, but til then anything that requires driving is a no go.Who'd have thought that being a geek squad installer would require me needing a driver's license honestly?
My advice: go back to school, take out loans, do whatever. You don't want to be in your 60s with bad insurance, no retirement options, and doing manual labor.
Also, college at your age is probably ideal. Your finances aren't linked to your parents, which is crucial when you fill out a FAFSA. You'll automatically qualify for subsidized Stafford loans, which the government will pay the interest on while you're in school, and probably even the Perkins loan, which is a fixed, low interest loan.

text: > As an operating system <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_system>, * this is a common use of the word. it's a bit sloppy: Linux is, strictly speaking, just the kernel. why make the distinction? mainly because Linus and the kernel team don't have that much to do with ongoing development of anything in user-space (libc, tools, compilers, X, desktop environments, etc). it's not some kind of major sin to avoid naming the thousands of independent projects which are tossed like a salad to form a distro. > Do you not consider Knoppix a Linux, or do you consider "openMosix" to come > from kernel.org? Linux is the kernel; it is unitary (ignoring versioning). when people talk about flavors of linux, you know they're probably talking about distributions which contain Linux as their kernel. "openMosix is a Linux kernel extension" - that's from their website. the naming is a bit blurry because the extension requires a bunch of user-space stuff to work, too. then again, the bare Linux kernel doesn't do much without, for instance, at least a libc, and probably a bunch of other user-space infrastructure like shells and daemons. openMosix's kernel is a customized version (not really a fork) of the kernel.org "mother" kernel. RH's kernels are too, or Suse's or SGI's or HP's, etc. > me. Perhaps I need to distinguish "kernel, the minimum machine-dependent > component" everything is machine-dependent. besides, most of the kernel is _not_ terribly machine-dependent (it's the drivers which depend on the hardware they're driving - but that's almost a tautology!) "Linux" in the non-strict sense, is a bit of a shorthand for the kernel and all the usual user-space do-dads. perhaps it needs a snappy acronym like LAMP or AJAX, but it would have too many letters! > from "kernel, what is in memory after boot ends" but I would that would be a very strange definition. how about this: apps call libc to do almost everything. libc calls the kernel to do almost everything, but adds some value by providing a slightly higher-level interface (eg printf() rather than write().) the kernel calls drivers to do a lot, but also does the higher-level-interface thing (such as filesystems rather than block-level disk interfaces). strict Linux-ness stops at the user/kernel line, but since most of the lower-level parts of userspace are pretty linux/kernel-specific, they get lumped into the name. this is why certain notable people have advocated for the use of "GNU/Linux" rather than just "Linux". in fact, I use the latter specifically because I oppose this (RMS's) nomenclature. when someone talks about their linux desktop, they're not discounting the contribution of GNU - in fact, there are lots of non-GNU projects which are critical to the linux desktop, many of which predated Linux, some of which are not even Unix-specific. > expect that a kernel optimized for a compute node would vary even in the > first defintion from a single kernel published at kernel.org. there's not much to optimize in the kernel for a compute node. you can certainly omit stuff, but that's a normal part of configuring a kernel.org kernel. what makes a good compute node is mainly user-space, so not strictly Linux, but more in the distro realm. that said, most distros use almost identical parts to their salad - it's mainly the dressing or perhaps just the sprinkles and crutons that distinguish distros ;) this is fun! some distros use slightly fresher greens; others have mouldy old tomatoes. damn, gotta find a way to fit the kernel into that metaphor - maybe the salad's bowl!?!

Mitsubishi is kind of a forgotten automaker. Nothing in its stable is likely to be on most people's list when they are cross shopping a vehicle purchase. And I've even had several people ask me if Mitsubishi is even producing vehicles for the United States anymore.
It is.
And the all-new 2018 Eclipse Cross is a vehicle worth checking out.
Slotted between the Outlander Sport and Outlander, the small SUV is meant to be on the sportier side of the spectrum.
I haven't driven a Mitsubishi product since 2014, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. But in plain terms, I'd say the Eclipse Cross meets or exceeds expectations in all categories.
Eclipse Cross is equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that delivers 152 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. This is a different engine from both the Outlander Sport and Outlander get, and it has greater torque.
This translates into quick off-the-line starts and some fun-to-drive acceleration in curvy road situations.
The Eclipse Cross is a nice handling vehicle, an aspect the folks at Mitsubishi highlighted with drives through mountain switchbacks surrounding the Los Angeles area.
One slight blip in the fun is the flat-out acceleration that you'd experience when merging with traffic on the highway. It's a tad lackluster. However, the SEL Touring models that we were driving during the press launch came equipped with column-mounted paddle shifters, and this helped with faster acceleration.
The standard transmission in the Eclipse Cross is a continuously variable transmission, and it does fairly well for this vehicle and keeps the engine from sounding like it's struggling in all but the hardest of accelerations.
I was also mostly impressed with the interior design and materials. I liked the shiny black lacquered inserts on the center stack, and the available leather seats had attractive reverse stitching.
I particularly appreciated the 7-inch infotainment screen mounted atop the center stack that is touch activated. There is also a redundant track pad next to the gearshift, but nothing beats the visual/tactile relationship of clicking on an actual icon.
The one design element that seemed out of place was the etched plastic attempting to mimic carbon fiber. These accents were both outside and inside of the vehicle, and it came off looking cheap whereas everything else looked nice and clean.
The Eclipse Cross will be available in four trims: ES, LE, SE and SEL and will have a base price of $24,290. This base trim will include features such as Bluetooth phone pairing, rearview camera, heated power side mirrors, cruise control and automatic climate control.
Mitsubishi expects the LE ($25,890) and SE ($27,390) trims to be the volume sellers, so it's no surprise these trims get a higher level of content.
The LE trim adds the 7-inch audio display, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and 18-inch wheel. The SE trim adds features such as blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, heated front seats, passive entry and push-button start.
At the top-tier SEL trim ($28,890), you'll get leather seats, LED headlights, head-up display and a multi-view camera system. The SEL also has a touring package available ($31,390), which adds additional features such as a dual-pane panoramic sunroof, 710-watt Rockford-Fosgate premium sound system, forward collision mitigation, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, heated steering wheel and heated rear seats.
Another point of interest: All of the trims except the base ES are standard with Mitsubishi's Super All-Wheel Control system (which is a fancy way of saying all-wheel drive). The ES is standard with two-wheel drive but adds the S-AWC for just $600. No other trim has 2WD available.
The Bottom Line
I was impressed with the Eclipse Cross. I thought Mitsubishi did a great job with the interior and exterior styling, and I'm particularly fond of the curvaceous tail end – which sets it apart from other crossovers on the road.
Because Mitsubishi has been a bit absent for the past few years (its last new vehicle was the fuel-sipping Mirage back in 2014), the road ahead for this small automaker won't be easy. But putting out an attractive and solid vehicle like the Eclipse Cross is an excellent start.
If the accessible price point isn't enough to have you take a look at the Eclipse Cross, perhaps the Mitsubishi warranty will push you over the edge. It includes:
- 10 year/100,000 mile powertrain limited warranty
- 5-year/60,000-mile new vehicle limited warranty
- 7-year, 100,000-mile anti-corrosion/perforation limited warranty
- 5-year/unlimited mileage roadside assistance
The Eclipse Cross hit dealers in March of 2018, and I can confidently say you should add it to your must-test list if you're looking at the Toyota RAV4, Hyundai Tucson, GMC Terrain, Ford Escape or Nissan Rogue.
Editor's Note: Driving impressions in this "First Look" review are from an invitation-only automaker launch event that allowed special access to the vehicle and executives. Mitsubishi covered our accommodations, meals and transportation costs.

It was a big weekend of soaring and roaring fundraising in Burbank as the Verdugo Hills Council of the Boy Scouts of America staged their 39th Annual Big Strike Auction and the Kiwanis Club of Burbank presented its 14th Annual Car Show.
More than 200 supporters of local Scouting convened at the Burbank Airport Marriot for the Verdugo Hills Council's annual fundraiser on Saturday evening. Presented under the theme Eagles Soar, to pay homage to the 100th anniversary of the Eagle Scout program, the evening was hosted by the event's chairman, Brent Frost, and the organization's president, Dennis Barlow. Notables in attendance for this event, which raises funds that help support more than 3,200 area Scout programs, were Rep. Adam Schiff, City Clerk Zizette Mullins, City Treasurer Debbi Kukta and former Glendale Mayor Sheldon Baker. Among those who made the event a success by their presence and work were Dan Humfreville, Jane Barnett, Steve Smith, Dede Mueller, Anthony Asheghian, Lupe Shubert and Heidi Davenport.
Fundraising continued the following day at the Kiwanis for Fun Club of Burbank roared into Johnny Carson Park for the club's always-successful car show. Presenting more than 200 classic cars, from Rolls-Royces to roadsters, this annual tradition has helped local Kiwanians provide support to numerous local nonprofit organizations including BCR "a place to grow," the Burbank Temporary Aid Center, the Burbank YMCA, Meals on Wheels and the Boy Scouts.
Sunday's car show, kicked off by local singer and John Burroughs High School alumna Caitlan Ary's rendition of the National Anthem, was made possible by Kiwanis Club President Jan Loporchio, Secretary Donna Wade and local Kiwanians including Isabel Adams, Tony Wade and Steve Purcell.

100 pounds overweight, loaded up on steroids and suffering from a debilitating autoimmune disease, Joe Cross is at the end of his rope and the end of his hope. In the mirror he saw a 310lb man whose gut was bigger than a beach ball and a path laid out before him that wouldn't end well— with one foot already in the grave, the other wasn't far behind. FAT, SICK & NEARLY DEAD is an inspiring film that chronicles Joe's personal mission to regain his health.
With doctors and conventional medicines unable to help long- term, Joe turns to the only option left, the body's ability to heal itself. He trades in the junk food and hits the road with juicer and generator in tow, vowing only to drink fresh fruit and vegetable juice for the next 60 days. Across 3,000 miles Joe has one goal in mind: To get off his pills and achieve a balanced lifestyle.
While talking to more than 500 Americans about food, health and longevity, it's at a truck stop in Arizona where Joe meets a truck driver who suffers from the same rare condition. Phil Staples is morbidly obese weighing in at 429 lbs; a cheeseburger away from a heart-attack. As Joe is recovering his health, Phil begins his own epic journey to get well.
What emerges is nothing short of amazing – an inspiring tale of healing and human connection.
Part road trip, part self-help manifesto, FAT, SICK & NEARLY DEAD defies the traditional documentary format to present an unconventional and uplifting story of two men from different worlds who each realize that the only person who can save them is themselves.
You can buy Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead from our official store.
You can stream the movie on Hulu, Netflix and Amazon.

My bad here for not being explicit enough. By "their own hardware", I meant "hardware they put a lot of thought in, that they carefully conceived and designed, and have manufactured according to their own needs and guidelines", not "Supermicro boxes". Not that Supermicro boxes are low grade or not a good fit for the job, just that they generally are multi-purpose components, not necessarily designed with HPC as a first concern. And Supermicro is not quite a small company either. Anyway, I was thinking about companies like Penguin or Scalable, designing their own hardware products, like Relions or JackRabbits, and not just reselling Supermicro boxes. Unless I'm mistaken on the fact that those systems are somewhat different from off-the-shelf boxes. I don't know about Streamline, but AFAIK, Clustervision "just" resells big names hardware, they don't make their own. It's not a bad thing per se, just a way to point out the fact that HPC-wise, the market is pretty different here and there, and that purchasing options seem sparser to me in the EU compared to the US. So, to get back to the original discussion, SGI disappearing from the landscape means one less option to choose from. Considering the fact that those options are already kind of fewer than in the US, the relative loss is more perceptible. Cheers, -- Kilian

NILES, IL, January 15, 2009 — Shure microphones have been a mainstay of rock and roll stages, from the largest arenas and stadiums to the smallest bars and clubs, for decades. Now they're also appearing onstage in the virtual world, compliments of the new Harmonix and MTV Games Rock Band 2 video game.
"How could anyone create a game like this and not include the SM58® and SM57? That would be like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich without the bread," said Chad Wiggins, Shure's Wired Products Category Manager. "We definitely feel that having our mics in this game adds a degree of authenticity for all of the people who'll play it as they dream of being Roger Daltrey belting out 'Pinball Wizard' or any one of dozens of other rock stars. We're very excited to be included."
Shure microphones featured in the game include the legendary SM58® and SM57, along with the
Beta 57A®, Beta 87A, and KSM9…the same microphones used by legendary artists and bands like The Black Crowes, Cheap Trick, Billy Idol, Queens of the Stone Age, and The Who.
"As players earn virtual cash and are able to upgrade their virtual instruments and other gear, the ultimate microphone they can buy in the game is the KSM9," added Wiggins. "It's as if the other microphones are one through ten and the KSM9 is like going to eleven. You know you're a Rock Band 2 expert when you're using that microphone."
The Rock Band online music store recently surpassed 21 million paid downloads since the game's launch in late November 2007. With more than 300 tracks available to date via disc and download purchase (complete list of tracks at http://www.rockband.com/dlc), the massive Rock Band Music Store enables players to preview and purchase downloadable individual music tracks, packs, and albums from the vast selection of offerings available as they build their own custom Rock Band library.
"We believe that working closely with our musical instrument partners is crucial to our mission to deliver the most authentic music experience possible," stated Greg LoPiccolo, Vice President of Product Development, Harmonix Music Systems. "Whether it's picking out your P bass™, finding the right finish and hardware for your drums, or choosing the best microphone for your singer's style, having real world instruments included in the world of Rock Band 2 is essential."
Rock Band 2 is rated "T" for Teen with descriptors of lyrics and suggestive themes by the ESRB.

I recently watched Into The Woods and i expected it to be better than it was.Firstly,Johnny Depp was fucking amazing as always but his role was tiny :( I enjoyed watching Meryl Streep playing the witch but the other characters were kind of boring.I also got tired of the songs.The plot was great but i got confused because of the songs.The prince brothers scene in the river was probably the only song i enjoyed (except for the Johnny ones ofc).
Did anda watch the movie and if yes did anda like it?
Johnny Depp was a big winner at the 2014 People's Choice Awards 2014 in Los Angeles.
The three-time Oscar nominee "Johnny Depp" is picked up oleh 700 million fan vote as favorit Movie Actor at the 40th annual ceremony of People's Choice Awards 2014, held at downtown LA's Nokia Theatre on Jan 8th.
This is the 3rd time for Johnny Depp to win as favorit Movie Actor after winning in 2010, 2011 and this tahun Mr. Depp won over Channing Tatum, Hugh Jackman, Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert Downey Jr.
Walt disney Pictures decided to swap Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales – the fifth installment in the theme park ride-based movie franchise headlined oleh Johnny Depp as the slippery scallywag Jack Sparrow – out from the Summer 2015 lineup this week (right after the studio repositioned Marvel's Ant-Man to takes its place), rather than rush the swashbuckling blockbuster down the assembly line as fast as conceivably possible.
The Dead Men Tell No Tales script is still being written oleh Jeff Nathanson (Rush jam 2 & 3), who took over from Pirates 1-4 co-writers...
hey there!
I've always found it interesting that Johnny collects barbie dolls, so here's what I've managed to find out about his collection!
Johnny says that he has dozens and dozens of Barbies, all of them are limited and special editions.His collection doesn't only include his own boneka from his movies, but also Beyonce, the cast of "High School Musical", Elvis, Paris Hilton, Marilyn Monroe, and Audrey Hepburn, and one of Lindsay Lohan complete with ankle monitor bracelet from her time on house arrest.
(This is a daftar of all the films I could scavenge up that Johnny has coming in the future, including a few rumored ones. I tried to make it as accurate as I could but I apologize if there's a mistake and please komentar below if anda notice a mistake so I could change it. Looking meneruskan, ke depan to all these films! <3)

Alcon Entertainment and Syncopy in association with Evolutionary Pictures and Straight Up Films are in production on the epic Warner Bros. Pictures sci-fi thriller feature film "Transcendence" starring Johnny Depp. Shooting will take place in New Mexico beginning mid-July. Two-time Primetime Emmy Award winner and four-time Casting Society of America Artios Award winner John Papsidera has cast the film's starring and co-starring roles in Los Angeles. Now the extras casting director has issued a casting call for all ages and types in New Mexico.
Just came back from the earliest tampilkan I could get of "The Lone Ranger"! In a few words... IT. WAS. BREATHTAKING. I reserved special seats, called D-Box seats (not sure if they have them in your area), but they are basically seats that pindah with the motion in the movie. For example, if the shot showed men on horses, your kursi would bounce up and down (not too severely though). The seats were expensive, yes ($18.25 US a ticket), but they were definitely worth it. I could feel my jantung pounding in several train sequences. So, if anda can, I would recommend getting D-Box seats.
Hollywood superstar Johnny Depp gave fan in Oklahoma a thrill oleh turning up unannounced at a screening of his new movie "The Lone Ranger" on Friday.
The actor sent locals into a frenzy when he stepped onto the red carpet at Carmike Cinemas in Lawton with LaDonna Harris, a member of the Comanche tribe and president of Americans For Indian Opportunity group, on his arm. Depp was made an honorary member of the Comanche tribe last tahun thanks to his portrayal of the Lone Ranger's Native American sidekick Tonto in the disney adaptation of the classic TV show.
Lucamar Productions in association with Marc Platt Productions are currently in the pre-production phase on the highly anticipated live-action musical feature film "Into The Woods" starring Johnny Depp and Meryl Streep. The movie is an adaptation of the Tony Award winning Broadway musical with musik and lyrics oleh Stephen Sondheim and book oleh James Lapine. disney Casting directors in New York and Los Angeles are auditioning actors/singers for starring and co-starring roles.

text: In my personal experience, I developed long time ago CFD software on a single machine with a single core. Once I started complicating my life with more complex problems (eg. from 2D to 3D), the time it was taking to solve the problems was growing exponentially ( from hours to several weeks). Therefore I required at some point more computational infrastructure despite all the sw and numerical things I would do to accelerate the sw. I required more, ie a bunch of computers, or a cluster to get to my performance or productivity goal (eg. reduce a 3 week simulation to a overnight run time). But it took me my time to _realize_ or to get more demanding based on my evolving computational needs. On other cases, you cannot simply fit the data you are crunching on a single node so that is a capacity problem you can solve by distributing the data among more compute nodes and having the aggregated capacity needed. The performance one, can also be seen as the # of arithmetic operations to solve your problem is growing so much that you need the aggregated computing power of multiple computers, again distributing the computation among more processors and nodes. Given this sort of introduction, my advice would be to grow your computational infrastructure along your needs over the time (eg. every 1 or 2 years, and much better if aligned with your trusted HW vendor provider), from a single node which nowadays looks like a cluster 5 years ago. And then if you need more, start adding computational infrastructure, which could be also more storage or more network gear, or more gpus which these days are also used for accelerating the computation of the multicore processors. Making the assumption of very little knowledge on your computational needs and usage it is nearly impossible to guess if a cluster will satisfy you and even harder to size it properly. The people that use clusters typically have computational needs well understood for many years, so the sizing can be more or less estimated by running "kernels" (the meat) of their applications on a single node and then multiplying the performance achieved on that node by the number of nodes necessary to reach the total performance or productivity or capacity target. Having a cluster without using it for what its been designed/built is a whole waste of money, electric power and time and a bunch of unnecessary headaches on many directions. Finally on your comment on Windows, Microsoft has spent already since 2004 money and people in developing and bringing to the market a HPC solution as well. So yes, there is a windows solution for clusters with same features as you will see on Linux/Unix. You can also run decently on Windows on a single box a compute intensive application.... I hope it helps you clear out whether it makes sense or not for you to build a cluster. This group assumes you are already on it and you need perhaps the analysis/feedback/friendly advice on components or on the way an application stresses that specific component of the cluster (eg. processor, networking, storage, OS, settings), or sw tools for management/debugging of the HW+SW clustered solution, among many other things...

text: When we heard that there was app from Cosmopolitan magazine that moaned, we were intrigued. So we downloaded it! Not only does it moan, it grunts, swears and curses (although the curses have been bleeped out by the Cosmo powers that be). It's all part of a story in the digital issue titled "Decode His Bedroom Sounds," as though these utterances are mysterious — it's fairly obvious that "he" is enjoying himself. And speaking of "him" — who is this guy? A Cosmo intern? Some editor's boyfriend? Or did the magazine actually pay a voiceover actor to pretend to have an orgasm?!

Like many writers, I waver between having the world's biggest ego, and no ego at all. You have to be somewhat narcissistic to believe that what you write will be so desired by readers that they'll pay you for it. At the same time, the unique structure of the creative mind, coupled with the loneliness and isolation of this profession, the reaction (or lack thereof) of readers, and the constant rejection by agents and publishers, makes writers a perfect candidate for depression.
Laura Hazard Owen recently did an article on GigaOm called "Elites or freedom fighters: How the Amazon-Hachette battle took on the rhetoric of class warfare" and there has been some interesting discussion about it at the Passive Voice.
I was going to add a lengthy comment, but it got so long I figured I'd just turn it into a blog post about about rhetoric, narcissism, and motives in this industry.
I originally posted a writer's declaration of independence in 2012, and I was advising authors to self-pub as early as 2010.
At the time, I was considered an outlier, and largely ignored by the mainstream press. But more and more authors began to self-publish, and bit by bit the word spread.
Barry Eisler coined the term "legacy publishing" and he and I have repeated it so many times on our blogs it has become part of the lexicon. As earl as 2009 we were talking about digital self-publishing as a "revolution" and I've recently begun describing indies as a "shadow industry".
This language is deliberate and purpose-driven, as is fisking high profile authors and publishers. In any revolution, getting the message spread is essential, and that has been difficult when the mainstream media is anti-Amazon, treats indie success as human interest stories rather than business stories, and promotes legacy propaganda on a regular basis.
But we're gaining ground. Preston's PR hopes for his letter were largely nullified by the letter we wrote. After five years, some media outlets are actually mentioning our efforts.
Humbling the mighty, burning effigies, and showing data to support conclusions, are all grassroots forms of spreading awareness. Unlike the Tea Party, which Laura compares indie authors to, self-publishing isn't a fringe reactionary movement. It's emancipation. And we have the facts to back that up. My goal is to make writers aware of those facts, so they can make informed decisions about their careers and set appropriate goals.
There is no class warfare between writers. Those with legacy deals have no power over those who choose to self-publish. Those who self-publish have no equivalent of the Authors Guild. We aren't a unified force like the Tea Party. We're just a bunch of individuals with similar goals.
I have no dog in this fight. It doesn't matter to me who wins the Amazon/Hachette dispute. But the dispute is an opportunity to show more authors that there is finally a choice.
Why should I care?
Because no one helped me.
I'm the guy who had five hundred rejections for nine unsold novels before I landed a three book deal. For ten years I busted my butt to break into this business. A business that I soon discovered was archaic, corrupt, and treated authors unconscionably.
I'm the guy who did one of the first successful blog tours. I did this because my publishers weren't doing enough, and I figured it out on my own.
I'm the guy who sent 7000 letters to libraries, asking them to carry my books. I did this because my publishers weren't doing enough.
I'm the guy who handsold 100 hardcovers in a bookstore in one day. I did this because my publishers weren't doing enough.
I'm the guy who visited 42 states, self-promoting. I did this because my publishers weren't doing enough.
I'm the guy who signed at over 1200 bookstores. I did this because my publishers weren't doing enough.
I'm the guy who earned out his advances, got into multiple printings, and got dropped by his publisher because they decided to stop selling thrillers.
I'm the guy who started a second career under a pen name, Jack Kilborn, and earned out that advance before getting screwed by my publisher.
I'm the guy who started self-publishing in 2009, and posted my sales figures. I did this to inform and empower other authors, because my publishers weren't doing enough.
I'm the guy who predicted much of the reality of the publishing industry today.
I'm the first guy to reject a legacy deal and sign with Amazon--a book that has gone on to sell over 100,000 copies. That paved the way for Amazon imprints.
I'm the first guy to buy out my legacy contracts to self-publish. I took that risk before anyone else, and I shared my numbers.
I'm the first guy to hire a lawyer to get my legacy rights back, to self-publish. I took that risk before anyone else, and I shared my numbers.
I'm the guy who sold a million ebooks, mostly by keeping control of my IP.
I'm the guy who continues to bash legacy publishing because I know how harmful it is, and support self-publishing because I know how awesome it is.
I'm the guy who has been thanked over 10,000 times for helping writers.
I've been rejected, mistreated, taken advantage of, lied to, misquoted, bullied, misunderstood, and hated. And I still continue to fight for authors' rights, share what I've learned, and try to make this industry better even though I don't have to. Even though I'm not benefiting.
I do this so authors don't have to go through all the shit I went through. It's my public service.
There is no Us vs. Them. But there is what's best for authors.
I know. I've been on both sides.
I got really lucky with my self-publishing endeavors. But it was luck that relied more on my efforts than on the whims of an uncaring corporation. I'd improved my odds by abandoning legacy publishing, and I'm not the only one. The data on www.authorearnings.com supports my position. Writers are being liberated.
I am an activist and a populist. That is my main motivation. I'm not in it for the money, for the fame, or for the revenge (besides, the best revenge is living well, which is what I'm doing.)
There cannot be class warfare when all writers are in the same boat and want the same things. We all want to be read. We all want to make a buck.
I've explained why I continue to blog. Patterson, Turow, and Preston all have a pretty transparent motive: the legacy system made them rich, and they want to preserve the status quo. That's pure self-interest.
So why are there so many midlist authors who agree with them?
I believe the defensiveness of legacy authors, and the whole legacy industry, is a perfect case of group narcissism.
Here are the symptoms.
I wish other people would recognize the authority of my group
Self-pubbed authors have no group. But many of us strive to be heard because we want to help, not because we want our authority recognized. Whereas the Authors Guild is recognized by the media, and many authors, as having authority.
My group has all predispositions to influence others
Self-pubbers don't predispose to influence. We want to help. Legacy folks believe they are part of a special club. It is an ideology to them.
If my group ruled the world it would be a much better place
And for decades, legacy did rule the world. Which is why they dislike Amazon, and have no respect for indie authors.
My group is extraordinary
You just have to read Richard Russo's letters to see this in spades. Meanwhile, self-pubbed authors are treated as an outgroup.
I like when my group is the center of attention
Patterson's ad is but one example of seeking out media to support their viewpoint.
I will never be satisfied until my group gets all that it deserves
Which is a return to the old ways, when publishers ruled the world. Speaking for myself, I never felt I deserved anything. I simply got lucky.
I insist upon my group getting the respect that is due to it
I personally don't care if I'm respected. I just want to have the choice to publish however I want to. But when legacy authors keep calling for government intervention, they're demanding to have their opinions backed up by lawmakers.
Not many people seem to understand the full importance of my group
Which is why legacy folks keep insisting books are special snowflakes, and the legacy system is the only thing saving our literary culture.
I admit to having some narcissistic tendencies, but the indie revolution isn't collective narcissism. It's a bunch of individuals sharing information. But the legacy publishing world is a textbook example of collective narcissism.
This isn't a good thing. As explained in the Wiki entry, it tends to make legacy folks to perceive negativity against them when none exists (Amazon being the bad guy, indie authors as bullies). It leads to a kind of ethnocentrism, which encourages discrimination. If you scroll to the bottom of the entry, you see links to similar topics, which include: Cabal, Elitism, Cronyism, Nepotism, Old boy network, and Peer pressure. I've seen all of these in the legacy industry, whereas the self-pub world has very little.
In the Russo letter I fisked with Barry Eisler, I said that people tend to value rarity and exclusivity and clubs that don't allow everyone in. Clubs like legacy publishing. It makes them feel special. Amazon is making something that was once an exclusive club into something that is no longer special because anyone can join.
So I disagree strongly that there is class warfare happening right now.
What I see is an archaic industry trying to retain the status quo, and resorting to skeevy negotiating tactics and collusion in order to do so. I see some writers in that industry--the really rich ones--trying to influence public opinion via the media, because they want the gravy train to keep flowing. I see Stockholm Syndrome, and group narcissism. I see legacy authors afraid to jump ship, or criticize their publishers. And I see no good data or arguments to support any of their viewpoints.
And from indie authors I see earnest efforts to inform and help each other, and legacy authors as well. I see plenty of data, and logical discourse.
Class warfare is about the haves and the have nots. With the advent of self-publishing, there are no longer any have nots. Now we are all haves. I'm not a freedom fighter. I already have freedom.
Legacy folks will probably continue to resist change until the very end. And folks like me will continue to offer an alternate viewpoint. But the future is inevitable no matter how much hot air either side spouts. Ebooks will replace print as the preferable method of reading. Bookstores will close. The legacy midlist will vanish. Publishers will merge, and eventually go away. And most authors will end up self-publishing.
This isn't a war. It's a PR campaign unsuccessfully battling the future. Change is upon us, and all the closed-minded establishment players will be forced to adapt, or die.

Distillation is sometimes the only possible for of treatment to purify water. After disasters and during emergencies there are times when there isn't enough fuel for boiling, or there isn't a suitable container available to place over an open flame. In a true end of organized society situation or even just disruptions to the supply chains, replacement water filters will not be available and new supplies of disinfection chemicals will disappear. Even backup sources of water need to be disinfected. This is something everyone with have to deal with and a small solar distiller can be built by anyone. Solar water distillers can be created using household items. What you need is a clear glass pot or bowl. As long as it is oven safe. A cup, also glass and tin foil. The tin foil could be better served with something clear, like the lid to your glass pot. Plastic wrap can work if it is thick enough to withstand the heat generated in the device.
The construction is simple:
1) Place the cup in the bowl.
2) Fill bowl with water. Do not go over the height of the cup. Less water will distill faster.
3) Cover the bowl. With the lid/tin foil/plastic wrap.
4) Place the still out in an area that receives a lot of sun.
This is a solar still at it's simplest, All you have to do is set it up in a sunny area and come back an hour later. The main drawback is the volume of water treated, in this example you only get a cup of water every few hours. There are additional things you can do to increase the effectiveness and the efficiency. The first thing you can do is add another cup, or two to collect more of the distillate. If your bowl has a lid with a handle in the centre, place the lid on the distiller upside down with the handle pointing into the cup. This should look like a funnel (of sorts) and it will direct more distillate into the cup.
Keeping the water shallow will heat it up faster, using a wider bowl or tray will help with this. There is a balance however to be kept to ensure the water condenses into the cup, which is favored by a narrow bowl.
Placing the still on a black piece of metal will also greatly assist in the heating of the water. You could also place something black and metal in the water or paint the bottom of the bowl. The point is, black surfaces heat up faster.
There are specifically designed lab glassware for distillation. If you can buy these, I suggest you do as they will be your most efficient, and can be placed over a flame if you buy the right ones. The piece that is most useful is the condenser tube. The collection of the distilled water is much more efficient with a condenser tube. Collecting the distilled water in another container allows for faster distillation due to a rapid drop in temperature from the heated vessel to the cooling vessel.
There is only one type of contaminant not removed by distillation, those are volatile chemicals with a boiling point less than water. Volatile chemicals are usually dissolved gasses in the water, they aren't removed by distillation because these chemicals follow the water through the phase change to a gas and back again into a liquid.
Distillation has another big problem in my opinion. Distilled water tastes bad. You may have different tastes than I do, if you do then go ahead and drink distilled water. Now taste is a luxury in a survival situation and drinking bad tasting clean water is better than contaminated water. As I say at the end of all my emergency water treatment articles, always drink the safest water possible. This is another water disinfection tool you can use when you really need it.

The Winners and Losers From the Week That Was
Winners & Losers for the week that was in business and deals, Deal Journal's weekly look back and grading system of some of the biggest stories. Follow us on Twitter @WSJDealJournal.
Winner — Richard Branson — The billionaire Brit sold his U.K. cable TV network to U.S.-based giant Liberty Global, which operates an international conglomerate of pay-television owners. Liberty paid a 24% premium for the U.K.'s No. 2 pay-television operator, and Branson gets $316 million.
Winner — Apple Shareholders — The chance that investors in the world's biggest company might get a cash payout increased with week. Hedge-fund titan David Einhorn is raising his voice, and while his idea may not catch on, the broader point that shareholders deserve more of Apple's massive $137.1 billion pile of cash may. Apple responded that it's in "active discussions" on giving more cash back to shareholders.
Winner — Michael Dell — The billionaire founder of Dell gets his buyout, but that's a big risky bet. Michael Dell and Silver Lake are paying $24.4 billion for Dell, the biggest buyout in five years. He's putting in $3.7 billion worth of stock and another $500 million in personal cash and $250 million in cash from his investment fund. Now Michael Dell will avoid all those comparisons to Apple (which has almost 10x as much cash), and try and turn around the company and his legacy.

The verdict came despite repeated calls by rights groups to free Somyot Pruksakasemsuk, who has been jailed since 2011. It also underscored the harsh nature of Thailand's lese majeste laws, which have been criticised as a violation of free speech.
The articles in question were published under pseudonyms in Somyot's now-defunct Voice of Taksin magazine, which he launched in 2009 to compile political news and anti-establishment articles from writers and contributors.
Judges found both articles in question contained content that defamed the royal family and argued that Somyot, as a veteran editor, knew that and chose to print the stories anyway. The court handed down two five-year jail terms – one for each story.
Somyot said he would appeal the verdict but would not seek a royal pardon.
Although Somyot's articles were published in 2010, he was only arrested the following year after launching a petition drive to revoke Article 112 of the nation's criminal code, which mandates three to 15 years in jail for "whoever defames, insults or threatens the king, the queen, the heir to the throne or the regent."
"The courts seem to have adopted the role of chief protector of the monarchy at the expense of free expression rights," Brad Adams, Asia director of Human Rights Watch, said in a statement.
"The court's ruling appears to be more about Somyot's strong support for amending the lease majeste law than about any harm incurred by the monarchy."

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
A nuclear-armed Iran would indeed pose an existential threat to Israel. Despite the efforts of Western officials to paint Iran's religious rulers as ultimately rational, the actions of the ayatollahs over the past 30 years have shown they are on a jihad-fuelled mission.
But the threat is not to Israel alone. Sure, chances of Iran firing nuclear missiles at any nation besides Israel are incredibly small at this time, but simply allowing Iran to possess a nuclear weapon would significantly upset the regional and global balance.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu understands this.
"Everyone needs to understand that if we're worried today about rising oil prices we shall be far more worried if Iran, heaven forbid, gains control over the energy centers in the Persian Gulf," Netanyahu told Israel Radio, referencing the regional Iranian hegemony most Arab states fear should the Islamic Republic go nuclear. "Iran would be able to dictate far higher oil prices and, by so doing, choke the world economy."
Netanyahu continued by insisting that "anyone who is interested in stopping the manipulative use of oil production, its influence on world markets, the threats to the world's economies, must also for that reason enlist to stop Iran's nuclear race."

Thanks for posting, David. I did see this on the MA site, but forgot to post it here.
Congrats to them. OS has proven to be a fantastic replacement for HF, so, hopefully, the nuptials will make this rather a long term thing

Martin Demel, MathWorks
Financial professionals worldwide use MATLAB and other MathWorks tools to rapidly develop financial models and freely deploy customized algorithms to decision makers such as investment managers, actuaries, and traders.
In this introductory webinar you will learn about the capabilities MATLAB offers to experiment and test your ideas by running simulations quickly, ensuring the models are traceable, transparent and documented. Pertly due to the introduction of Solvency II, there is increasing demand of working in a white box environment, being able to customize algorithms, models, and reports on your own.
You will learn how to use MATLAB and related toolboxes to: Easily access historical customer and industry data, perform statistical trend analysis and generalized linear modeling, adjust statistical distributions, run Monte Carlo simulations, view cash flows, and build hedging strategies.
Find out how MATLAB can help you significantly reduce the time it takes to analyze financial data and develop custom financial models, especially for insurance and actuarial science. See what some of our insurance related customers have developed with our tools.
This webinar is relevant to practitioners or academics in finance whose focus is quantitative analysis, risk analysis and projection, pricing and valuation, and modeling - particularly but not exclusively actuaries and professionals in the insurance industry. Familiarity with MATLAB is helpful, but not required.
