I was developing a heavy InfoPath application with custom codes. The form contains around 40 data connection including external data connections, web services, etc… This form is using 'Get User Profile By Name' data connection which come along with the UserProfileService.asmx web services. The user profile web service url comes as follows: http://shpapp:2000/sites/Test/_vti_bin/UserProfileService.asmx
When I try to open the form in the preview mode it pops up below error message:
Error message:
The query cannot be run for the following DataObject: Get User Profile By Name
InfoPath cannot run the specified query.
The SOAP response indicates that an error occurred: A user with the account name MohamedAkb could not be found. ---> An error was encountered while retrieving the user profile.
I started search, almost all the suggestions say set the form in to full trust mode as bellow:
- Go to File - > Form Options -> Security and Trust
- Select Full Trust option button.
The above option is use full to deploy the form at the farm level. If the form contains VSTA code, it is must to deploy as full trust mode. This doesn't help to resolve the user profile issue.
To resolve the user profile issue follow below steps:
- At the create data connection wizard untick the 'Automatically retrieve data when form is opened' option.
- At the form load event create a rule to query the data connection. In the rule, set the query field as Account name = DOMAIN\UserName then query the data connection.
- Save the form and open in the preview mode. You will see no errors now.

Friday used to be my favorite day of the week because I don't work at my real job on Fridays and I get to hang out with my amazing kids. Since living in this trailer home, Tuesday has become my favorite day. It is the day the port-a-potty gets pumped and cleaned! If I forget it is Tuesday, the fresh scent of the port-a-potty reminds me when I get home from work. It's kind of sad what gets me excited lately.
My last post was talking about how July flew by. Well, August, September, and now October are flying by too. Which is a good thing, because if they weren't going so fast, I think I would need to be sedated. In August and September, I had a few weeks off. I had all of these dreams of updating the blog, providing tips on what I'm learning in the trailer, and share all the wonderful things going on at the farm. Reality hit and I was actually extremely overwhelmed. When I get overwhelmed, I can usually really only focus on one thing. In August & September, the one thing was making it through each day.
Having to go outside to use the bathroom is getting very old. As it gets colder outside, it is very hard to send my little ladies out to use the bathroom. Thankfully, we did get water running to the trailer, so we can shower and wash up, but we won't have septic hooked up to the trailer. The construction is on track and we are looking at completion the week before Thanksgiving, so we will have indoor toilets then!
I LOVE cooking and baking, not having a stove/oven has really put a damper on that. When I get stressed, baking (and eating the sweet treats I make) is one of my favorite ways to relieve the stress. No oven = no baking. I did get to make 6 apple pies at my mother-in-laws house though, so that helped. I can't wait for the TWO ovens in the new house. I did purchase a NuWave hotplate through an As Seen on TV ad and have been really impressed with it. The tools we do have to help with warm meals are an electric fry pan, microwave, and a NuWave hot plate that I ordered after seeing an As Seen on TV ad for it. I must say, the hot plate is pretty amazing.
The Laundromat trips have proven to be interesting. If we get behind on laundry at all, we end up with 7-8 washers/dryers full. I try to get early so we can get the machines that take credit cards instead of having to deal with a bunch of quarters. I think the college kids get a little irritated when we fill everything up, but they need to learn that the early bird gets the worm.
The space heater situation has proved to be more challenging than the lack of air conditioning. Sometimes, the heaters get the house to 75 degrees in the middle of the night and I have children come into my bed and start stripping because they are so hot. Other times, it is so cold when I wake up in the morning that I struggle to get myself out of bed. I'm sure that as soon as we figure out how to keep it at the perfect temp, it will be time to move out.
The bathroom, oven, laundry, and space heaters were all "planned" for. The unexpected things are what have really overwhelmed me. A smaller than average refrigerator and TINY cupboards have made storing food, kitchen tools, and just about everything else we need to live very difficult. Frozen water lines when it is just slightly cold out, have surprised us on a few mornings – not being able to shower makes me crabby. Blowing fuses when too many things are plugged in on one breaker frustrates my husband to the point of swearing. And please don't get me started on the critters that think we put a warm trailer in their field for them to live in – that usually brings me to tears.
So, the only tip I really have to share about how a family of seven can survive in a 3 bedroom mobile home without septic or an oven is to just suck it up and get through it one day at a time. Know that there are those less fortunate and that every day is a gift, even if it can feel like a burden. It's a lot about attitude too. If you can always look for the positives, everything seems more bearable. Our positives are that we are on the farm with the animals, we get to see progress on our new home pretty much every day, and we have a GORGEOUS view.
Now that we are getting closer to the big move and I am not quite so overwhelmed, I do hope to blog more. I'll get you all caught up on the farm happenings. I also have been having great experiences with essential oils that I would like to share. Once we are in the new house and I get to cook again, I'll get some more recipes up too.
Also, if you are of the praying type, please pray for my friends that have way more overwhelming issues than I.
– My friend Kellie, her family, and her mighty twin boys in the NICU
– My friend Tia and her family as her dad deals with a brain tumor
– My friend Jesse and his family as his niece begins her journey of living with leukemia
– My friends John and Tara as they complete the adoption of their little guy
– My friends Bridgette and Dianne who both have sons that are learning to live with Type 1 Diabetes
– My many friends that have lost their children or husbands and are struggling through the recent anniversaries, birthdays, and upcoming holidays

When was the last time that you thought of buying nothing? That's a tough question to ask, considering that our thoughts tend to be revolving around buying something or the other all the time; seldom do we think of buying nothing. Buy Nothing Day is a symbolic resistance against the capitalist economy that has been spreading its broad wings and long tentacles across the globe. Buy Nothing Day is the celebration of the right to be without buying, the right to live without yielding to the pressing demands of commerce.
As you would expect of a day that is organised and commemorated world-wide, there are a host of activities that mark the Buy Nothing Day – they are all held on the Friday that follows the American Thanksgiving day in the last Saturday of November every year, all around the world. They invariably involve:
Old habits die hard. Would the consumer realise the cause that drives Buy Nothing Day? Would the word of commerce wear the cloak of social responsibility on account of a day's demonstration? Would symbolism represent change? Now, that's a point of debate and only time will tell.

Press release
Press briefing: morning 14 October 2013
The Prime Minister's Spokesperson (PMS) answered questions on the EU, benefit tourism, energy prices and fox hunting.
EU regulations
Asked about the government's business taskforce report, the PMS said that it would inform the UK agenda for the European Council the following week. The government had a long standing reform agenda for competitiveness in the EU and wanted immediate and on-going action to reduce the number of rules and regulations put on business.
Benefit tourism
Asked whether the Prime Minister (PM) thought benefit tourism was an issue, the PMS said that there was widespread concern in the country about benefit tourism and the government was working to reduce pull factors to the UK. The government had worked with other member states on the rules around habitual residency and was conducting an audit of the impact of tourism on the NHS. Access to the welfare system was about fairness as well as about cost and there were relevant concerns about both.
Asked whether the aim to get net migration below 100,000 was failing, the PMS said that it was not failing and net migration had fallen by a third.
Energy prices
Asked whether the PM agreed that ministers were powerless to do anything about energy price rises, the PMS said that there was a central issue around the wholesale price of gas. There were things the government could do to help, which included improving the competition in the market by helping to introduce new sources of energy. More widely, the government was also doing work to help with the cost of living.
Fox hunting
Asked whether the PM supported repealing the fox hunting ban, the PMS said that the PM's view had not changed and there was a Coalition agreement to hold a free vote on the issue. There were specific issues around pest control and the impact on farmers, which the PM had some sympathy with.

Invasion of the false widow spider
Unless you have been living under a rock (or maybe a small crevice) you cannot fail to have heard that the UK is being invaded by a highly venomous relative of the notorious black widow spider. Over the past year I have read stories in both the tabloid and "quality" press about these fearsome arachnids spreading northwards across Britain and attacking all that dare stand in their way. Stories of pets being killed, limbs almost needing to be amputated and schools shut down have all been attributed to the false widow spider.
A few weeks ago I found one of these critters in the utility room of our house. Whilst being mildly arachnophobic I am also very inquisitive and will never kill anything without a good reason. So, I did some research. It didn't take long to become an 'expert' on all things false widow. I use the term expert as given some of the mis-truths and errors in the media's coverage that is what I feel like.
The False Widow Spiders
The false widow spiders are a group of around 120 species that both resemble and are related to the true widow spiders. They belong to the family Steatoda and there are about six species that are now resident in the UK. Most notable of these are Steatoda nobilis (the noble false widow) and to a lesser degree Steatoda grossa (the cupboard spider). Whilst S. grossa is considered a long time native of the UK it is believed that S. nobilis was introduced to Britain in the 1870s with fruit imported from the Canary Islands.
So that's nearly 150 years these spiders have quietly resided here and then suddenly they become public enemy number one within the space of a year or two. One reason for this is there is no doubt the spiders have increased their range. The first spiders are thought to have arrived in Torquay in Devon. It seems that for a long time the spiders remained confined to this area before gaining a foothold in neighbouring regions along the south coast of England.
More recently though false widow spiders have been turning up as far north as the Scottish border. The given explanation seems to be down to climate change with milder weather. There doesn't seem to be any literature covering when the spiders spread across the UK and it is not entirely obvious why the false widow has become this autumn's media bete noire.
Identifying a false widow
The two species of false widow most commonly associated with the name (S. nobilis and S. grossa) are fairly similar in appearance. Often described as around the size of a 50 pence piece, I'd say S. nobilis is slightly bigger than this. With a maximum body length of around 15mm and leg span of up to 35mm these are medium sized spiders by UK standards.
Perhaps their most notable features are the dark, glossy colouration of the legs and thorax and the cream pattern on the large abdomen. This does give them a fleeting resemblance to the black widow spiders.
The webs of these spiders is also a clue. They make a tangled, seemingly random web that is usually positioned quite high up. During the day they hide away in a nearby crack or crevice, coming out at night to hang in their web.
Cousin of the black widow spider
As mentioned, the false widow spiders are relatives of the infamous black widow spiders, known for being one of the world's deadliest spiders. The black widows belong to the sub-family Latrodectinae and there are a number of similarities with the false widows (Steatoda).
At a glance both groups have a similar shape; bulbous abdomen and fairly long legs. The colouring of the legs and carapace is similar although the black widows tend to be jett black whereas the false widows are usually a dark brown colour. Both groups may have patterns on the abdomen; S. nobilis has cream markings that are said by some to resemble a skull on the upper side of the abdomen. The classic black widow however, has a red hourglass shape marking on the underside of the abdomen.
It is said that the venom of the black widow spider is 50 times more potent than that of the rattlesnake. That in mind though, I know which I would rather be bitten by (well neither actually, but just for this hub...). Whilst the venom is powerful the spider is small and the fangs can only penetrate 1-2mm. It is still an unpleasant experience even if only very rarely fatal. Symptoms start with intense burning pain at the site of the bite followed by muscle aches around the area. In some cases a systemic condition (Latrodectism) may occur with abdominal cramps, fever and tachycardia all common symptoms.
On the subject of the widow spiders, the name comes from the belief that the female spider would often eat the male as a post-sex snack. Whilst this has been observed in one species in laboratory conditions there is some doubt that this is natural behaviour. All the same...!
- Killer false widow spider made my leg explode! | Latest News | News | Daily Star. Simply The Best 7
GRANDAD John Catlin nearly died after being bitten by one of the false widow spiders plaguing Britain.
The bite
There are around 650 species of spider that can be found in the UK. Of these just over a dozen are capable of inflicting a bite on humans. With considerably more potent venom there is little doubt the false widow (S. nobilis) has the worst bite of all these.
The actual false widow bite is usually described as being on a par with that of a wasp or bee sting. A small pinprick followed by burning pain and local swelling. The venom itself is related to that of the black widow but nowhere near as potent. It has been found that using black widow anti-venom reduces the severity of the bite indicating a close relationship.
The venom of Steatoda spiders is a nuerotoxin - it acts on the nervous system, paralysing small prey. Some spiders have another kind of venom called necrotoxins. Most infamous of these is the brown recluse spider who's bite causes the flesh around the wound to die. Nice!
As with black widow bites there is a systemic condition associated with false widow bites - Steatodism. It seems to consist of a very mild version of Latrodectism with a general feeling of malaise for a day or two.
So why all the hype?
As would be expected the media have picked up on several sensational cases. From what I can see these fall into three categories:
- There is an allergic reaction
- There is a secondary bacterial infection
- There is no proof a false widow was involved
It is a fact that bee stings kill in the region of 10 people a year in the UK. As we all know this isn't because bees carry deadly stings and it would be a stretch to describe the average bee as "death with wings"! It is an allergic reaction to the sting in these cases. So, just as with bee and wasp stings, some people are allergic to spider venom. Even so there still hasn't been a recorded fatality from the bite of a false widow spider.
Amongst the most shocking images of false widow bites was a man who's leg had to be drained after becoming massively infected. Other cases describe limbs nearly needing amputating and victims being given antibiotics.
I'd just like to point out that antibiotics are given to fight bacterial infections and not spider venom. From what I have seen these wounds are classic staph infections - the sort you can pick up from a splinter or going to hospital. Very nasty but not the result of a nuerotoxin.
In one recent newspaper article I remember reading about a woman whose garden had become 'overrun' by false widow spiders. The item went on to show a jar with several dead (harmless) garden spiders in it. This is such lazy journalism; false widows don't even live in gardens, they like it indoors.
Other news stories talk about 'suspected' false widow spiders which 'attacked' the victim. Given how poor people are at recognising these spiders and the fact that the false widow is a runner not a fighter I usually dismiss any story where there isn't a firm ID of the species involved.
The UK's most dangerous spider?
So, given a few facts about the false widow spider it might be a bit easier to put the threat into context. As a species that has existed in the UK for at least 150 years it is somewhat surprising to find these quite docile spiders elevated to public enemy number one.
But, without any serious competitor for the title I have to admit these are at least the most venomous spiders in the UK and capable of giving the most painful bite of any British spider. Other challengers would include the woodlouse spider which I think should win on looks alone. There is also the lace web weaver spider which can give a little nip - it also has the concerning habit of allowing its young to devour it on hatching. So at least on table manners the false widows do quite well!
In conclusion I would say treat the false widow spider with the respect it deserves. If you are not afraid of spiders then it is fine to ignore them as they will certainly not come looking for trouble. I am happy to have one out in the utility room, however I would not want one in the house where it could possibly come into contact with my children. In this case I would be inclined to carefully remove the spider and relocate it. You can't simply put the spider out of the door as it will probably come back inside. My top tip here would be to put it in someone you don't like's garden!

The deepening mystery that is the Tom CruiseKatie Holmes relationship evolved again last week, when the action star made pains to make public his engagement to starlet Katie Holmes.
Cruise reportedly was in Paris (the city of love; nothing calculated there) and popped the question atop the Eiffel Tower.
Which would be sweet, if there weren't already so many weird gaps in what we know of the couple.
First, Web rumors report Cruise's reps also felt out Jessica Alba and Kate Bosworth as potential paramours.

One of the big reasons Google won the search engine "race" is that it offered a huge index of web sites in a fast amount of time and through a simple interface.
Microsoft's Bing, Yahoo, Ask and so many other search engines failed to grasp these important concepts. When they did, Google had already taken the lead by so much, there was really nothing they could do about it.
The world of online document collaboration and storage, however, is so much different. There is no clear leader.
The old school battle of Microsoft Word and Corel Wordperfect was so simple. Two fairly similar word processors and one had more market share and dominated for a long time, due to a variety of reasons. But specification to specification both were quite similar.
However, between Zoho, Web Office, Hyper Office, Office Live, Google Docs, Box.net and a few others I'm probably leaving out, there are so many different features, interfaces and ways to share documents online.
I'd like to highlight Microsoft Office Live and Google Docs. Ironically, how the two fierce competitors are producing their respective offerings is quite different.
Google Docs is fairly simple and straight forward and has a minimal feature set – in line with its strategy of simple tools with minimal features, bells and whistles. There are exceptions, like Google Voice, which it obtained through the acquisition of Grand Central.
What I like most about Google Docs is that to collect information online, Google has an easy way to create forms which you can embed on your web site. Other than that Google's platform is simple to use. If you want to create documents and share them with others, you can do this with Google Docs.
On the other hand, Microsoft Office Live does not let you create documents online, you have to create them offline in Microsoft Office, but it does let you save documents online and share them with others. Instead of just sharing individual documents, Office Live lets you share an entire work space comprised of various types of documents. Another aspect of Office Live is that you can upload multiple documents and use Office Live as a backup service.
These are just two of many services available for your use and you can see that there is not one right solution. Comparing Box.net to Hyper Office and Zoho to Web Office is an entirely different set of comparisons as well.
The key is to test the products, see what works best for you and always ensure that you can export and import your data so that you are not locked into one service.

Ever noticed how life just whizzes by sometimes. Since going live with my new website on the 19th April, I've been inundated with well wishers, shop & style bookings and so much more. My wholesale Fashion Agent work has been busy with the release of the new season 17 Sundays samples and I've been on the road enjoying visiting stores around Victoria.
Today I realised that yesterday was a very special day. It is ONE YEAR since I quit smoking!
Now I've never called myself a quitter before, but I'm proud to say I AM A QUITTER and I've stayed a quitter for 365 days straight – cold turkey! What a challenge. This past year included my beautiful dad passing away suddenly in June 2011, to say I'm still shocked is an understatement. Then about three weeks later I became very ill and have been battling a health condition ever since. Not exactly the easiest time in my life to decide to give up a 22 year old habit!
I DID, and I did it successfully. I invite you to re-visit that time in my life by reading my blog The Plus Side of Quitting, written daily at the time for the first 16 days of my journey.
Today is day 366 of being a non-smoker, I've NOT smoked 10,950 cigarettes and I haven't spent $4,368 during that time! AND I feel better for it. Now that's alot of pluses!
I'm sharing this with you all as part of my committment to remain accountable to myself for my personal and emotional wellbeing.
My advice to anyone out there considering quitting smoking, do it when YOU are ready. I agree with the philosophy that the QUIT campaign tout, don't give up trying to give up. This is about the fourth attempt I made to quit, the other times failed, but this one worked. No rhyme or reason, I was just more ready this time. NEVER give up trying to give up.
I'm off to revamp my wardrobe ready for the new season. Stay tuned for some fashion posts coming your way soon. In the meantime, if you have a question on anything curvy/plus-size – email me email@example.com or post a comment by clicking on the speach bubble on the top right of this post and I'll make a point of including the answers in my upcoming posts. I'm loving this new space and it's just the beginning…
Love your shape!

text: I have connected an Apple TV and an external speaker system to my Sony Bravia TV. I am very pleased with it but I have some rear speakers that I dont know how to connect. The 2 external speakers that I have currently working/connected to my TV are from an old (1995 model) Aiwa shelf type stereo system. I have them connected thru the auxiliary audio/video connection on the back of the Aiwa and the audio spot on my TV and then the Audio/Video input selected on my Aiwa. But I have some rear speakers that were used and connected to this Aiwa when it was used as a stereo system back in 1995. I want them to be connected again and use with the working 2 side speakers. I know that even tho I can put them behind me, this will not be a true surround sound but if I can get some rear sound from them, I will be happy. Problem is the speakers are missing the connectors that used to connect them to the Aiwa. There is speaker wire coming out of the speakers but they need a connector end of some type - what is showing where they used to be connected to the Aiwa is a red and white "hole" like RCA connectors go in. Now the "hole" where they connect to the Aiwa is that color but the actual connector on the end of the wire is black. I have a picture of one of the ends that was cut off for some reason. This Aiwa has been sitting in the closet for years. Anyway I have attached a pic. Keep in mind that each speaker, right and left had their positive and minus wires connected to this end. From the picture, can you tell me what this is called so I can possibly go buy speaker wire with these ends already on? This may look like an RCA connector but you cant see in the picture that this end has the 2 speaker wires coming out of it. And then if I find them, is there a danger when connected to the Aiwa and TV, that they will blow anything out - TV or Aiwa side speakers already connected.

BEIJING (Reuters) - Activity in China's services sector expanded at the fastest pace in six months in September as demand grew, cementing a modest pickup in the world's second-largest economy.
The official purchasing managers' index (PMI) for the non-manufacturing sector rose to 55.4 in September - the highest reading since March - from 53.9 in August, the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) said on Thursday.
A reading above 50 indicates activity in the sector is accelerating, while one below 50 indicates it is slowing.
The upbeat reading on China's services sector activity helped market sentiment. Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index .HSI gained 0.8 percent and MSCI Asia ex-Japan index was up 0.7 percent while the Australian dollar also got a small lift.
The sub-index measuring new orders, from both home and abroad, rose to 53.4 in September from 50.9 in August, while input prices and services charges eased, the survey showed.
The services industry, which has so far weathered the global slowdown much better than the factory sector, is an increasingly important pillar in China's economy, especially as the government seeks to expand domestic consumption to drive growth.
Services accounted for about 45 percent of the economy in 2012 and is the biggest employer in China.
China has unveiled plans to open up its largely sheltered services sector to foreign competition and to test bold financial reforms in a new free trade zone in Shanghai.
The survey followed a pair of PMIs which showed slower than expected expansion in activity China's factory sector in September, with the official manufacturing PMI edging up to 51.1 from 51.0 in August, while the final HSBC PMI inched up to 50.2 from August's 50.1.
Beijing has stepped up efforts to head off a sharp economic slowdown by quickening railway investment and public housing construction and introducing measures to help smaller companies.
Recent economic data has shown some of the impact of those policies, with factory output in August hitting a 17-month high and retail sales growing at their fastest pace this year.
Most analysts have penciled-in a slight rebound of economic activity over the July-September quarter, although the outlook from here remains uncertain given global headwinds.
Peng Wensheng, chief economist at CICC, expects China's annual economic growth to have quickened to 7.8 percent in the third quarter from 7.5 percent in the previous quarter.
"We don't expect any big changes in economic policies, and monetary policy is likely to remain neutral, given steady economic growth and benign inflation," he said in a research note.
China's government has set a 7.5 percent growth target for the economy in 2013, a goal officials say would be met, but which would still mark the slowest pace of expansion in 23 years.
A private survey on China's services sector for September will be published on October 8. The Markit/HSBC services PMI hit a five-month high of 52.8 in August.

Should You Change Your Strategy?
12/19/2013 10:30 am EST
Focus: STOCKS
The long-awaited and often-dreaded Fed tapering was finally announced yesterday, and MoneyShow's Tom Aspray explores whether market participants should change their game plan because of it.
The Fed lit a fuse under the stock market on Wednesday as their decision to alter their bond-buying strategy seemed to hit a perfect balance as far as the markets were concerned. I had been arguing that they would not make any changes because of deflationary fears and was clearly on the wrong side of this one.
Does this mean that investors or traders should change their strategy in reaction to the Fed's action? In my opinion, this depends on your time frame as clearly the short-term market momentum is now positive. However, on an intermediate-term basis, there are still signs that we are currently at high-risk levels in the major market averages.
So what does this mean? A rally in the S&P 500 to the 1860-1870 area is clearly a possibility, which would mean a further 2.6% gain in the Spyder Trust (SPY). In order to participate in this rally you may have to be quite nimble as I still think a 5-10% correction is very likely in the first part of 2014.
Therefore, new purchases should be made with strict attention to the risk as those stocks like Lennar Corp. (LEN), which was purchased near the year's lows have less risk than those current market leaders that are already up 50-70% YTD. The homebuilders were one of the big winners, Wednesday, with LEN up over 6% on heavy volume. These stocks peaked in May and have significant upside potential if bought on a pullback.
The long-term impact of the Fed's action, however, should be positive for the stock market. All data suggests that a majority of the public is still under invested, and I think this should be a good year for the asset managers as the group broke out to new highs on Wednesday. Let's look at the technical evidence.
Chart Analysis: The daily chart of the Spyder Trust (SPY) shows a broad range as it dropped below last week's lows before closing sharply higher. The close was just barely below the November 28 high.
- The daily starc+ band is now being tested with the weekly at $187.30.
- A completion of the trading range has upside targets in the $186-$187 area.
- The volume was twice the average on Wednesday but the daily OBV is still below its WMA.
- The bearish divergence resistance at line b needs to be overcome to confirm a new uptrend.
- The market internals on the NYSE were 3 to 1 positive and the S&P 500 A/D line has moved back its WMA.
- The A/D line has next resistance at the negative divergence resistance at line d.
- There is initial support at $179.80 and then at $179.40, which corresponds to the 20-day EMA.
The DJ US Asset Managers (DJUSAG) broke out of its recent trading range with Wednesday's close.
- It is up over 42% for the year as it completed its flag formation, lines f and g, in late October.
- The weekly starc+ band is now at $174.57.
- The upside targets from the flag formation are in the 180 area, which is about 13% above current levels.
- The weekly relative performance is now above resistance at line h after testing its WMA.
- The weekly OBV looks even stronger as it broke out in September and broke out ahead of prices.
- There is initial support now at 160-161.50.
NEXT PAGE: 2 Asset Manager Picks|pagebreak|
Northern Trust Corp. (NTRS) provides a wide range of asset management services and has a capitalization of $14.2 billion with a current yield of 2.10%.
- NTRS is up 20.8% YTD but 13.3% since the October low of $52.40.
- The close Wednesday was at the starc+ band with the weekly at $62.33.
- The 2013 high was at $62.02 with the early 2009 high at $66.08.
- The daily relative performance is trying to complete its bottom formation, lines b and c.
- A move in the RS line above line b would confirm it.
- The daily OBV tested short-term support at line d last week and is back above its WMA.
- The weekly and monthly OBV (not shown) are positive.
- There is minor support at $58.30 with stronger in the $56.60-$67 area, line a.
AllianceBernstein Holdings L.P. (AB) is a $2.0 billion asset manager that currently yields 7.43%.
- It is up 31.9% YTD but is still well below the 2013 high of $25.38.
- The weekly chart shows an apparent continuation pattern, lines e and f, with key resistance at $22.84.
- On the decline into the July low at $18.10, the 50% Fibonacci retracement support at $18.34 was slightly violated.
- The relative performance is testing long-term support at line g and did confirm the recent highs.
- The weekly OBV formed a short-term bullish divergence at the 2012 lows (see circle) and has been acting stronger than prices, line h.
- The OBV has pulled back to its WMA and has stronger support at line i.
- A higher weekly close could cause the OBV to form a bullish set-up.
- Initial support now at $21 with stronger at $20-$20.60.
What It Means: The best news from the FOMC announcement was that they felt the economy has continued to improve and it has always been my view that it will get even better in 2014.
This should convince more individuals to get back into the stock market, and many will turn to asset managers like Northern Trust Corp. (NTRS) and AllianceBernstein Holdings L.P. (AB).
I also think the transportation stocks will do well in 2014 and two of its industry groups, as I mentioned recently, are looking especially strong.
How to Profit: For Northern Trust Corp. (NTRS), go 50% long at $58.56 and 50% at $58.02, with a stop at $55.62 (risk of approx. 4.5%).
For AllianceBernstein Holdings L.P. (AB), go 50% long at $21.24 and 50% at $20.76, with a stop at $19.98 (risk of approx. 4.9%).

Ugandan Opposition Leader Released, Bail Conditions DecriedPublished on Wednesday 27th April 2011
Uganda's top opposition leader, Kizza Besigye, has been granted bail after seven days in jail. Besigye, who is the head of the Forum for Democratic Change, was arrested for leading protests against increases in the cost of food and fuel.He was freed today by the magistrate's court in Nakasongola, 100 km outside the capital, Kampala. A condition of his release is that he not disrupt the peace for seven months. In addition, Besigye and four others may not "engage in conduct that could lead to the commission of crime and destruction of property."Besigye is represented by a prominent Kampala lawyer David Mpanga but was unrepresented in court today."We weren't formally notified of the change of venue of the court," said Mpanga.He said the change was "suspicious and strange" because the venue is on the outskirts of Kampala in the jurisdiction where Besigye's arrest last week took place. Mpanga said he heard about the transfer of Besigye's bail hearing from Kampala to Nakasongola from the media."It's not ordinary, and I certainly haven't seen it in my career for a bail application to be transferred from one magistrate's court to another 100 kilometers away." He said Besigye was forced to be appear without legal representation because his counsel was not informed of the change of court venue. "We are officers of the court," he said, "We act on formality in matters relating to court." Mpanga said although all citizens are legally bound to conduct themselves in a manner that doesn't breach the law and lead to the loss of life or the destruction of property, the bail conditions violate Besigye's rights and could lead to his political persecution. "This whole thing [Besigye's arrest and trial] arises out of my client insisting on exercising his right to free expression as well as to peacefully demonstrate." Besigye has been protesting rising food and fuel prices by walking to work. But on several occasions, Mpanga said, there have been confrontations along the roads where Besigye was not allowed walk to work…. The confrontations, he charged, "have led to police who are armed shooting people with live ammunition, rubber bullets, and tear gas indiscriminately including in health centers and schools." "People have died not only where Besigye is involved but also where other people have [also] attempted to walk to work." Authorities say Besigye and others cannot protest without a permit. Mpanga said it will be hard to enforce the conditions of his bail if Besigye is going to be held accountable for the deaths of people shot by gun-wielding authorities who fire on unarmed civilians.

My 75 year-old house is haunted and I report my encounters on this blog, but since paranormal activity is about as consistent as SD weather, I also post reviews of horror films - the good, the bad, and the zombie.
Saturday, November 6, 2010
My Confession...
I've seen a great many horror films in my life and I can count on one hand how many have actually given me a serious case of the creeps. There is a reason Suspiria is as vaunted as it is. Take the opening sequence...it scared the hell out of me. A young American woman arrives in Munich, Germany to attend a prestigious ballet school. She's walking out of the airport, toward a set of automatic doors. There's a thunderstorm raging outside. She watches as two other travelers pass through the doors into the malestrom, her eyes wide with trepidation. What's so spooky about that, you ask? Nothing at all. That's the point. The camera angles? The acting? I know part, if not most of the chills can be attributed to the music...and I have to say, this was the most crazy ass, scary as hell music I've ever heard. I think that's what probably got me. As the movie progressed and this music would kick in, I knew I was in for something insane and intense. (I just shivered again thinking about it.)
I jumped the gun a little by explaining the spookiness. The opening sequence wasn't just the airport. It kept up for a solid 11 minutes. Now that doesn't sound very long, but think of another horror film where you've been on the edge of your seat or squirming in your seat or hiding your face in your hands while a scene plays out on the screen. The only other movie I can think of that comes close is The Exorcist and the climax scene in Reagan's bedroom. So what happens in those 11 minutes? I'll make it quick: the American girl, Suzy Bannion played by Jessica Harper, grabs a cab, gets to the ballet shcool in the middle of the night just as a terrified girl is running out; Suzy buzzes the intercom but is told to go away; we then follow the terrified girl as she reaches a friend's apartment; she's in the bathroom drying off (thunderstorm, remember) when hands break through one window and pulls her through another (you won't believe how this is done); she's taken atop a huge stained glass window above the building's lobby, stabbed graphically, an electrical cord wrapped around her neck, then she breaks through the stained glass and falls; the cord goes taught and she's dangling there all dead and bloody...and her friend who had been running around screaming for help is lying underneath her, impaled. And this is the appetizer.
You already know this, of course, but the ballet school's staff are a coven of witches and it's up to Suzy to learn their secret and stop them. She manages it, although not before we're treated to a few more creative deaths (the room full of concertina razor wire bothered me a lot). When you read about Suspiria, most folks talk about the use of color (this was the last film made using Technicolor) which is a valid point because it is eyepopping, if not surreal, and only adds to the creepiness. One problem with the color, though...the blood looks like nothing more than red paint. This may have been by design, Argento simply going for a brighter hue of gore, but it doesn't take away from the overall impact.
Another thing I liked about it is that it doesn't bother with a subplot, there's no romantic crap to wade through. Well, there is Mark, a fellow dancer who may have a crush on her, but that goes nowhere. One interesting bit from a fashion standpoint...watch for Mark wearing a tight pair of jeans. Now, I've heard people talk about "camel toe" before, but I never really understood it. I do now. I'd be surprised if the guy ever had kids.
So Suspira...I'm not going to do a normal "breakdown" since the film's too well known. For the uninitiated, I will say that while this is considered an Italian film, the dialogue is all English (not dubbed either) so you have no excuse. If you want to be creeped out and freaked out, or just have the living crap scared out of you, here's your movie.
Now I have to wonder...what else have I been missing? If you have suggestions, please leave a comment.

text: The Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps Teaser Trailer has premiered. Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps is directed by Oliver Stone and stars Michael Douglas, Shia LaBeouf, Josh Brolin, Carey Mulligan, Charlie Sheen, and Frank Langella. Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps' plot synopsis: "emerging from a lengthy prison stint, Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas) finds himself on the outside of a world he once dominated. Looking to repair his damaged relationship with his daughter (Carey Mulligan), Gekko forms an alliance with her fiance Jacob (Shia LaBeouf), and Jacob begins to see him as a father figure. But Jacob learns the hard way that Gekko – still a master manipulator and player – is after something very different from redemption." I am intrigued. The first Wall Street is one of my favorite films evolving the business world. The Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps teaser trailer reminds me of the ending to American Gangster. I loved the parole scene that ended with Gordon Gecko given his cell phone, a giant brick from the 80's. I hope the film is as good as this teaser trailer promises. We have all seen teasers and movie trailers that were great but when it came time for the film, it fell short. I am looking forward to the Donald Trump cameo scene or scenes in the film. Check out the Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps Teaser Trailer below and leave your thoughts below. Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps opens on April 23, 2010.

How BrowserID differs from OpenID
Jul 15, 2011 — by benadida
We launched Mozilla Labs' online identity experiment, BrowserID, only 24 hours ago, and the feedback has been incredibly useful already. At Mozilla, we believe in empowering individuals to shape their online experience. Our work on a decentralized identity solution for the Web matches that mission well. Also, because we believe that transparent community-based processes promote participation, accountability, and trust, we will be posting technical explanations, points of debate, and roadmaps on this blog.
One important question we immediately received from early adopters is how BrowserID compares to OpenID. Both projects have three important common goals:
(a) make it easier and safer for users to log in to web sites by reducing the number of passwords they have to remember,
(b) make it easier for web sites to add authentication features, and
(c) accomplish all of this in existing modern browsers.
Beyond these similarities, we think Mozilla Labs' BrowserID project provides a few key advantages over OpenID. Lloyd Hilaiel has written
an excellent technical primer on BrowserID
, which highlights our key design goals. These have led us to three key differences.
BrowserID uses email addresses to identify users
Users understand that an email address is like a persona. People typically have a work email, a home email, and maybe more. For developers, email addresses are useful, too: they are unique and provide an obvious contact mechanism when developers inevitably need to contact their users. With OpenID, the user's email address may be available to Web sites requesting authentication, or it may be absent. In any case, it's not
identifier. We believe that, for both developers and users, an email address is the right identifier.
BrowserID protects the privacy of your Web activity
With BrowserID, by design, your identity providers are not involved in the login transaction. This means they need not be aware of your entire Web activity, a significant privacy advantage. With OpenID, your identity provider is, unfortunately, a necessary participant in the login flow.
BrowserID can be smoothly integrated into the browser
Web-based login systems may increase the risk of phishing attacks if users become accustomed to typing their password into a dialog that an untrusted web site opens up for them. So, eventually, we want the login activity to happen within an easily recognizable, fully trusted browser UI. Because OpenID was designed primarily for use with zero browser intervention, it's difficult for the browser to step in and provide that more secure login experience: we've tried, and haven't found the right user experience. Mozilla Labs designed BrowserID with the specific goal of making it easy for browser vendors to implement directly, without preventing pure HTML implementations like the one we deployed yesterday. To explore how the integration of a secure BrowserID user interface could work in a browser, we're developing a Firefox add-on. And, in parallel, we are open to working with other browser vendors who want the same functionality, of course.

Eastern Airlines and its flight attendants union are getting close to an impasse in their contract talks, and both sides are quietly preparing for a strike, a top international official of the Transport Workers Union said Thursday.
Union members reacted with dismay to the airline's latest offer, presented on Wednesday, said John J. Kerrigan, International Vice President and Air Transport Division Director of the TWU.
"We're still going to try to negotiate. My own feeling is . . . somewhere down the line the chances of getting into an impasse and a strike are more likely as a result of (Wednesday's) proposal," Kerrigan said.
Kerrigan commented outside a federal court in Miami, where flight attendants were pressing a separate lawsuit against Eastern. U.S. Magistrate Herbert Shapiro heard final arguements from both sides but issued no decision.
Details of the new Eastern offer remain sketchy, but Kerrigan and other union leaders described it to union members as "very bad." Eastern is calling for wage cuts of 40 percent and a complete restructuring of work rules, according to Robert Callahan, head of union Local 553, which is negotiating with the company.
Flight attendants are already losing 18 percent of their pay under a concessionary agreement extended from last year.
Eastern officials aren't commenting on their proposal. But they say new sacrifices will also be asked of Eastern machinists and pilots, who signed contracts with the airline this year.
A severe downturn in business is forcing new austerity measures, Eastern says.
The board of directors of the Transport Workers Union is scheduled to evaluate the company's latest offer today. If either side should declare an impasse and abandon the federally supervised talks, a strike could follow after 10 days.
Asked about a strike, Kerrigan said, "We are going to prepare for that eventuality." Eastern, too, has started a program to hire replacements in the event of a strike, the union leader said.
A key issue in the talks is the 18 percent wage deductions, which were taken in 1984 in exchange for a one-time distribution of Eastern stock. After Eastern extended wage cuts into 1985, the union sued. Eastern attorneys say labor law requires the issue to be resolved by bargaining, not in court.
Shapiro has been trying with little success to push the two sides toward compromise. At one point Thursday, he offered the use of his courtroom for last-minute talks.
"All I'm asking you folks to do is negotiate the peace. If you wish, you may meet in my jury room," he said.
The two sides adjourned for several hours and returned to court, where Eastern attorney David M. Brown declined the offer.
"With respect solely to the (18 percent) wage investment program . . . the parties are not going to be able to reach a compromise agreement with respect to this lawsuit," he said.
Through the pay deductions, Eastern will save about $40 million this year, Kerrigan said.
Shapiro must now make a recommendation to federal judge Eugene Spellman, who has final authority over the case.

. . . just like everyone else who ever lived on the planet, from Alexander the Great to Abraham Lincoln. Failure is what makes success possible. It's how we learn what doesn't work–and therefore how we learn what does.
That's the message of The Up Side of Down, my new book from Viking. Drawing on interviews, academic research, and my own experience with catastrophic life events, I explore why failure is an inevitable–and even beneficial–part of life. And how to make failure a learning experience instead of a catastrophe.
—Publishers Weekly
"An illuminating look at the psychology behind rebounding from defeat. . . . McArdle has found a humble, intelligent way of infusing positivity and opportunity into personal losses. . . . Her message is a significant one with both personal and economic impact: There can be no vast success without initial failures, and it's important to foster a culture of risk-takers who embrace experimentation in working outside of their comfort zones. . . . Sage counsel on how to learn from failure with humor and grace."
—Kirkus Reviews
"The Up Side of Down reveals a forgotten secret to success: failure. This gracefully written, carefully researched book offers a timely and critical message. In a world that's obsessed with perfection, Megan McArdle shows that our accomplishments depend on whether we can make mistakes and learn from them."
—Adam Grant, Wharton professor and author of Give and Take
"This is a vibrant book on a vital subject. It's full of unexpected insights and is a pleasure to read."
—Tim Harford, author of Adapt and The Undercover Economist and the "Dear Economist" column at the Financial Times
"Megan McArdle has written the seminal book about renewal and American greatness: The Up Side of Down will teach you to embrace failure and use it to reinvent yourself and your organization."
—Tyler Cowen, author of Discover Your Inner Economist and The Great Stagnation, co-creator of the economics blog Marginal Revolution
"This is both a surprising and an immensely comforting book. Drawing on academic research, reporting, and not least the failures in her own life, Megan McArdle convincingly demonstrates that avoiding failure isn't what matters, but how we cope with failure. Sparkling with wit and insight in every chapter, The Up Side of Down has something for anyone who has ever failed, or lived in fear of failure—in other words, all of us."
—Greg Ip, author of The Little Book of Economics
"It's time for defeat, not just victory, to have a thousand fathers. In this wise, thought-provoking, and personal book, Megan McArdle makes the powerful case that we have as much or more to learn from our failures as we do from successes. With relevant case studies from Detroit to Hollywood, she seamlessly weaves together strategic and tactical insights into how to make big decisions right—and learn from the many bad decisions we inevitably make along the way. Essential reading for executives, entrepreneurs, and students of life."
—Parag Khanna, author of How to Run the World and Director of the Hybrid Reality Institute

El Nuevo Dia / "De Viaje" section, June 26, 2005, pg. 25
http://www.endi.com/deviaje/2005/06/26/ - article: "Melodia relajante"
Written by Larissa Vázquez Zapata
Translation by Sarah Miles: Spanish to English
"A Relaxing Melody"
The visit was not planned, but curiosity caused me to ask Carlton, the cabdriver, to continue straight on a narrow and long road, very near the airport of Tortola, but surrounded by wild vegetation, as if in a different place; far away from any sign of the city.
A pair of structures appeared to the left, while to the right, behind branches full of leaves, I could make out the water. What could be around here? It was the question that turned all the heads until we arrived at an iron gate and an intercom. A warm and friendly voice answered in English on the other side, the same voice gave us the consent to enter to the property. Carlton cautiously and slowly took his foot off the brake.
What a surprise! The soft breeze, the trill of the little birds that constantly sing almost hypnotizes, the constant whisper of the waves that seem to signify its name, Surfsong Village Resort. Cate Stephenson, with an indelible smile that flowers her lips, slender but with definite muscles in the arms, without drop of makeup, encountered us. She lit up in a wide of cotton skirt, sweater and some sandals. A little later her husband also arrived, equally nice, and both conversed about the resort that they had recently restored together.
Key ring in hand, Cate crossed the interior patio, with its Zen gazebo and a crocodile made of wood that seemed to mount guard in the area.
The four villas that accommodate a total of 12 people, are equipped with a stainless steel kitchen, king beds of many pillows (dressed with white and canopies to achieve a romantic effect), safe deposit boxes, telephones, BBQ in the patio, DVD players, CD player, satellite television (there is internet service in a small office), an ultramodern bathroom with granite and stones, as if removed from a magazine. The candles and accessories create a simple and elegant decor. After opening the doors made of two leaves and solid wood, the other villas looked similar; the difference rests in the size, but all allow the guests to enjoy privacy.
Add to everything else, the view of the sea. After a few steps you arrive at Well Bay, protected from the winds, and with trees for shade, where you enjoy calm water. And if you do not want to take a dip, light the bonfire when it gets darks to enjoy marshmallows and other treats under a cloak of stars. Or perhaps opt to read a book in the library or to take tea in the Zen gazebo.
Sufficiently relaxed? If not take a yoga Pilates class with, who else, but our host, Cate, who is an instructor certified by the inventor of the method. And if you did not travel with your mat, the accessories for this exercises, it does not matter, Cate has more (and she gives the classes to residents in almost any place on the island). With her voice deep and smooth, but with strict discipline, the Canadian that married here in the same pristine place in front of the sea- will guide you through a session in which I assure you that you will sweat.
Then you will be ready for a massage. Proceed to the Spa Pavilion, which is made of wood, set in the sand and next to the beach, camouflaged by an enormous stone and branches of trees. Surfsong also provides the services of a concierge, provisions from the village before you've arrived, the use of a car, laundry services and practically everything you need to be relaxed during your stay. Only children over eight years old are permitted, although you can rent all the facilities if you want to celebrate a small wedding or vacation with all the family. (More details at firstname.lastname@example.com, www.surfsong.net)
As it began to get dark, Cate and their husband said good-bye with hugs and squeezes of hands as if we were old friends. Also, she promised to arrive at eight o'clock sharp the following day for exercise class, on there in the hill, in Allamanda Estate, where we went to stay. And we? To the chorus of the baby, with Carlton on the return trip, also we promised one thing: to return."
