Another Louis Vuitton Dilemma: The Truth About Fake Neverfull Bags!Categories:Louis Vuitton
Some replica handbags are as wildly popular now as they were years back, when they were just released and fake Neverfull bags are the perfect example here.
Many women really want to have their very own replica LV Neverfull but at the same time they are worried that they will get a cheap-looking bag that has all sorts of flaws.
I understand all of your worries just as much as I understand your love for fake Neverfull bags! There are many guides on how to spot fake Louis Vuitton bags but that doesn't mean that all the guidelines you can find there are also true. Some of the people who write these guides don't always know what they are talking about and give misleading information.
One of the oldest myths regarding fake Neverfull bags is that the pattern should always match on either side of the seams. I'm sure you've read about this before. Well, guess what, that's not actually true! And this goes for authentic Louis Vuitton Neverfull bags too!
Please keep in mind that even on authentic LV bags the checkers don't always line up! So if the squares on the sides don't have the same size, are not complete or are not aligned on your fake Louis Vuitton bag, don't panic! That's not a sign that you've come across a cheap knockoff. And this goes for the checkers on both sides of the bottom too.
It's true that LV is very careful with their Monogram and USUALLY makes it symmetrical from side to side in all Monogram types but not always! So stop listening to absolute rules like "the pattern should always match precisely on either side of the seam".
And since I know that photos are more trustworthy than words, here are some pictures of authentic LV bags that don't have a symmetrical pattern:
So girls, worry less and enjoy your beautiful Louis Vuitton replica purses more!

Re-Examining Pick-Up Dogma: Cocky and Funny
Unlike most pick up dogma problems, this one has a clear patient x, and his name is David Deangelo(or Eben Pagen or something). David D started talking about being "cocky and funny" to Cliff of the old Cliffs List back in the early 2000s under the name sisonpyh (or hypnosis backwards) after he had been working with Ross Jeffries and they had a falling out (rumors abounded because RJ touched his girlfriend at the time,but who really knows?) sisonpyh appeared and "cocky and funny" was born.
Now to be clear I'm not evaluating the entire "Double Your Dating" methodology (which consista of getting email addresses like a retard) instead I'm focusing strictly on the idea of being "cocky and funny" which is a GREAT idea for attraction.
In fact it's one of the better frames for attraction period.
But there are some problems which I'll outline in a meandering Peter King style list with mismatched numbers and letters.
1. The Application being taught is terrible. C&F is taught as not answering questions, or giving a woman a straight answer, making fun of women instead of teasing them and a host of other terrible applications. C&F is a frame meaning that it governs behavior in an interaction. OVERALL you want to be cocky and funny in the attraction phase by joking about being awesome and making the woman laugh by being funny.
2. Not everyone can be funny. Sorry I had to say it but I keep it 100. Some people are funny, most people aren't. But luckily the funny part can be changed to playful and everyone can be playful. Playful is about being silly, and childish. But most importantly it's about not taking yourself, the woman or the interaction too seriously, you do that while being 'cocky' and you're doing pretty good.
3. Guys overdo it. C&F is good and it can get a great reaction especially early on, which can be a problem. Guys see that 1 c&f line worked well so they figure 50 must work incredibly. WRONG. Think of c&f as a seasoning like salt. Everyone loves salt, but no one would like it if you dumped a can of it on their food. 1 or 2 C&F comments in the first 20 minutes are MORE than enough.
4. Looking evasive. If a girl asks you a question once and you avoid answering it she'll laugh, but she'll also ask again and at some point you start to look evasive and shady because you're not telling her anything about yourself. It also violates the law of reciprocity.
5. David D is a dork. Unfortunately David D was a dork who didn't really get hot chicks (see my post on his wedding, do a search I'm too lazy to link) so he made up a bunch of overly harsh teases that would NEVER work in the real world my favorite being " That's a nice dress, you buy that new?" These are insults. Insulting women NEVER works write that down.
Anyway in conclusion Cocky and Funny is a great frame for attraction but you can't generate and keep attraction strictly by being cocky and funny, nor is it a complete system for attracting or seducing women.
Boom tho.

hey man would be kind to take a stab to break down some of the RSD new infield videosReplyDelete

Interesting post. Side point: nobody is born funny. It's a skill that is cultivated through socializing primarily. Also, you can learn to become funnier if one was so inclined. Sorry, but the lack of real education about psychology in the pick up community has real world consequences for guys who idolize gurus.ReplyDelete
- Raiton5:59 AM
On 4. Looking evasive: How much Frame Control is necessary? How often/When should I give her answers to her questions?ReplyDelete
You should write something for real beginners like me about qualification and frame control. I've heard your SIC on these topics but people like me need to understand the basics (example conversations are always good).
There should be a Sinn book (a cheap kindle ebook) on the overall system because some things on your blog contradict.
Example: http://sinnsofattraction.blogspot.com/2007/01/product-review-double-your-dating.html
You praised lots of things that you don't praise anymore...
- Anonymous1:15 PM
can you talk about the cocky funny frame "I'm awesome" give some examples. or release a product about it and I will buy for sure!ReplyDelete
this is really good stuff because i'm awesome.
- Anonymous9:01 PM
I think everyone can definitely learn the funny. When I started years ago, I wrote down every C&F line, every backhanded compliment, and every funny sang I could find! THEN I tried them all out! Most of them suck (especially negs, David D lines, and lines that come off try-hard) BUT there are a LOT of great one liners that I use all the time now out of habit. Lines like "you're taking this way to seriously" "this is so why we can't have nice things" "you do that again and I'll tickle you until you pee your pants!" (and of course tickle them next tie) etc. Bottom line: Hard as hell to learn how to improv funny, easy as hell to learn a bunch of one-liners that are funny and widely applicable. Finally, funny movie quotes are the best, because even if she hasn't heard it, you can tease her about not seeing the movie. Furthermore, if you throw out a quote she really likes, you can just keep quoting that same movie or actor throughout the night. I can't even count the number of times a girl laughed about a will ferrel quote and I just keep it rolling all the way up to quotes that reference sex "Magical rainbow-do me on it" etcReplyDelete
P.S. Jon- Might consider making categories of posts (in addition to the timeline list on the right of the page) so that readers can easily view all the posts from "Examining Pickup Dogma" I know it would take a lot of time to sort out but would be very helpful none the less.
- Anonymous9:37 AM
C&F needs to me done more the way Gambler does teaches with Stealth Attraction. GREAT stuff but advanced for a beginning student. The first thing a student needs is a roadmap or structure from which to build and escalate from (Which Jon has the best of without a doubt btw) THEN you just pickup new one liners her and there from Gambler, Sinn, movie quotes, and even gimmicks from pickup material. You slowly start to decide upon ones that work and use those and then of the ones that work, you start to realize which ones fit more with your style and use those even more!ReplyDelete
- Anonymous7:30 PM
A lot of DeAngelo's ideas seem good on paper, but are easy to falsify if you actually try them.
The e-mail thing by the way works as an "upsell" technique - you can take an e-mail - or better a facebook, because nobody checks their e-mails these days - and then have a better chance of getting a phone based on compliance momentum - it is a valid principle and will work in a lot of situations.
But getting JUST an e-mail is HORRIBLE, SUICIDAL idea and you'll learn it very fast if you actually try it.
But almost nobody really uses any advice - especially dating advice which is scary to use - so you can give any bullshit advice you want.
I think a lot of people will agree that DeAngelo is the best for learning some psych theories, advice on structure of learning and great reading recommendations, but for some reason he chose NOT to meet a lot of new women and test his great theories in real world. I don't know why it is, he looks like a hard worker, but seems like he liked reading and theorizing more then going out. So you should seek practical advice on meeting women elsewhere.
PS: Some stuff he thought up was then tested by other guys and actually worked - like "start at your place" idea, that was adopted by a lot of guys.
But you will get a much higher percentage of valid advice from guys who at least really go out ;)

Good stuff Sinn... A particular buddy came to mind when I read this. He really is a cocky/funny bastard, but... He never shuts it off. We'll be in set and the girls will be laughing at first so it just fuels him to keep rolling with it. Eventually, the laughter dies out and he's still rambling on, laughing at his own jokes, and looks like a fucking tool.ReplyDelete
I've had to shoot him a text a few times, mid set, saying something along the lines of "Calm down dude. You're trying to control the frame too much." Or "Dial down the cocky funny a bit, We're going to lose em"
Basic DYD ideas worked for me early on because I didn't have the balls to talk to attractive women the way I talked to my guy friends. As soon as I got past that, all the obsessive munitia about being "dominant" and "unreactive" started to get in my way. The fake alpha BS just backfires horribly with halfway intelligent women.ReplyDelete
And David himself is a perfect case study for the movement to stop high-school bullying.
I like this one, i though do not understand it properly, do i not...ReplyDelete
There is an emotional aspect to it that i seem to understand just a tint:
you're taking this way to seriously" "this is so why we can't have nice things" "you do that again and I'll tickle you until you pee your pants!".
I noticed girls do EC more when you're C&F (busting her "balls" <- this sounds stupid for some reason), she does EC in a magnetically way.. the more tension there is, the more she stares? they can... and its strange, i can't pretend (sometimes) i can't laugh and release tension... ow my bad'

|linac, acceleration, niobium, bunching
|The major part of the superconducting linac at IUAC has been operational for the past few years and the last accelerating module is in the final stage of completion. The full linac system consists of five cryostats, housing a total of twenty seven niobium quarter wave resonators. At present, the Superbuncher, the first two linac accelerating modules and the Rebuncher are operational and ion beams in the mass range 12C to 107Ag from Pelletron accelerator have been further accelerated and delivered to conduct experiments. A method of random phase focusing to select the accelerating phase of the resonators between 70° and 110° has been successfully tried to reduce the final time width of the beam bunch. Presently, to improve the accelerating fields of the linac resonators in phase locked condition, efforts are dedicated towards improvement of the cooling efficiency of the drive coupler, enhancement of the microphonics damping efficiency with mixtures of SS-balls and testing of an alternate tuning mechanism based by Piezo Crystal. The beam acceleration through the complete linac is to be performed by end of the summer of 2012.

Scientists Get Best Look Ever At Water/Life Connection
Unprecedented close-up view shows how molecules interact
COLUMBUS , Ohio -- No one has ever seen exactly how water molecules interact with proteins even though water is the essential element for life . . . that is, not until now.Dongping Zhong
Researchers led by Ohio State University physicist Dongping Zhong revealed these interactions for the first time, and report the results in the current issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Proteins are complex molecules that form the main support structure for plant and animal cells, and they also regulate biochemical reactions.
Zhong's project aims eventually to explain how water helps enable life-supporting biological functions such as protein folding or enzyme catalysis. But for now, this early result ends decades of controversy on what happens in the microscopic realm where water and proteins meet.
The controversy, Zhong explained, stemmed from the fact that researchers across different disciplines used different methods to study the problem. Because of that, they got different answers on the speed with which these essential biochemical reactions take place.
"A biologist will tell you that water and proteins must interact on a nanosecond [one billionth of a second] time scale, because that's how fast proteins move," he said. "And a physicist will tell you that the interaction would happen much faster -- on the picosecond [one trillionth of a second] time scale -- because that's how fast water molecules move. And someone who uses X-rays will give you a different answer than someone who uses nuclear magnetic resonance and so on."
"My feeling is that there is no real controversy -- everybody is just looking at the same answer from different angles," he added.
The answer, revealed in Zhong's lab: water molecules do move fast on their own, but they slow down -- to a speed midway between the nanosecond and picosecond scale -- to connect with proteins.
Zhong, an assistant professor of physics, used ultra-fast laser pulses to take snapshots of water molecules moving around a protein taken from a common bacterium, Staphylococcus.
The key to getting a good view of the interaction was to precisely locate an optical probe on the protein surface. They inserted a molecule of the amino acid tryptophan into the protein as a probe, and measured how water moved around it -- a technique Zhong began to develop when he was a postdoctoral researcher in Nobel laureate Ahmed Zewail's lab at the California Institute of Technology 5 years ago.
Laser studies of the protein while it was immersed in water revealed that far away from the protein -- in a region Zhong called "bulk water" -- the water molecules were flowing around each other at their typically fast speeds, with each movement requiring only a single picosecond.
The controversy, Zhong explained, stemmed from the fact that researchers across different disciplines used different methods to study the problem. Because of that, they got different answers on the speed with which these essential biochemical reactions take place.
But the water near the protein formed several distinct layers. The outermost layer flowed at a slower speed than in bulk water, and the innermost layer even slower. In that innermost layer, each movement of a water molecule to connect with the protein required at least 100 picoseconds to complete.
So when it comes to supporting life -- on the molecular scale, anyway -- water has to move 100 times slower to get the job done.
"The fast-moving water has to slow down to connect with a slow-moving protein -- it's that simple," Zhong said.
"It sounds trivial, I know. But it should be trivial.
"It's an essential biological interaction that has to work just right every time. If the water moved too slowly, it could get in the way of proteins trying to meet -- it would be a bottleneck in the process. And if it moved too fast, it couldn't connect with the protein at all. So I think this is nature's way of getting the interaction just right."
Zhong and Zewail's coauthors on the paper included Weihong Qiu, Ya-Ting Kao, Luyuan Zhang, Yi Yang, and Lijuan Wang of Ohio State and Wesley E. Stites of the University of Arkansas . Zhong is now working with Ohio State chemist Sherwin Singer to create computer simulations of protein-water motions based on these results. That work is being done at the Ohio Supercomputer Center.
This work was supported by the Petroleum Research Fund, the Packard Foundation, the National Science Foundation, and the National Institutes of Health.

Dr. Black is an expert in the care of patients with aortic aneurysms. Dr. Black has been invited to lecture his colleagues, both across the nation and worldwide, on his techniques to manage and repair aneurysms in the abdomen (AAA), thoracic aneurysms (TAA) and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAA). Dr. Black has unique experience with management of aortic dissection and genetically inherited conditions that may predispose patients to aortic aneurysm and dissection such as Marfan Syndrome, Loeys-Dietz Syndrome, Vascular Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, and Familial Thoracic Aneurysm and Dissection Syndrome. His experience in this regard has many important implications for all patients with aneurysms, and through these insights, he advocates for his patients to invoke many non-surgical approaches therapies that can reduce the future risk of aneurysm events and thus improves the length and quality of his patients' life.
Dr. Black is the most experienced surgeon in the mid-Atlantic Region with both traditional surgical, and more recently complex endovascular repairs using the FDA approved fenestrated endovascular devices. Additionally, he is one of the few surgeons nationwide who has FDA approval for next generation devices that may be suitable for patients with all types of aneurysms that involve the chest and abdomen (TAAA). Dr. Black and the Vascular Team at Hopkins take pride in the fact their techniques and results have been published in the flagship journals in the field of Vascular Surgery.
Dr. Black also collaborates with surgeons in the fields of neurosurgery, surgical oncology and urology to provide vascular reconstructions of all territories in the body to allow cure from cancerous tumors. Many patients are often unfairly denied a chance at cure for fear of involvement of nearby vessels. Dr. Black and colleagues have published their results for reconstruction of veins and nearby arteries for pancreatic cancer and renal cell carcinoma cure.
Dr. Black joined the surgical faculty of the Johns Hopkins Hospital in 2004. He completed his General Vascular Surgery Fellowship in the Division of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery at the Massachusetts General Hospital and received his General Surgery Training in the Halsted General Surgery Training Program at the Johns Hopkins Hospital. Dr, Black maintains an active practice in all aspects of vascular surgery. In addition to his interest with open surgical reconstruction of complex aortic disease, he aggressively pursues the application of minimally invasive endovascular technologies for patients with occlusive disease of the carotid, renal, mesenteric, and lower extremity arteries.
His research interests include the cellular and molecular events underpinning the development of aortic catastrophe in both atherosclerotic and connective tissue disorders, as well as diagnosis of aortic dissection and malperfusion syndromes. He has also devised protocols that make surgery safer at Hopkins and these have been shared nationwide for the betterment of the field.

How To Use Your Light Stream Quantum Pendant or Jewelry
EMF Protection You Can Feel (Harmful Electromagnetic Frequencies):
The natural world, including your body produces EMF's or electromagnetic fields. Technology produces much more intense EMFs such as using computer, watching TV, a blue tooth head set, etc, which can all cause health risks. However, using Light Stream™ infused pendants offer powerful EMF protection due to its long-lasting infused Light Stream frequencies and harmonic vibrations.
Meditation - Raise Your Spiritual Resonance:
Stone pendants and meditation stones /gems such as calming blues, healing greens and clarifying amethysts can be used to enhance your vibrational and energy flow. When worn or held between the index fingers and thumbs will foster communication between the left and right brain and will also help balance and deepen energy. Boosting vibrations will bring your desire further into the universe to reflect your inclinations. You can use your stone, necklace or statue during meditation. They can help you meditate with more power. Hold the stone with your thumbs and index fingers left and right hand to get connected left and right brain. As your energy rises, you can then send your manifest desires out to the universe with more power, increasing the law of attraction.
Crystal Healing Massage:
The healing vibrational stones can stimulate energy and integrate auric energies when warmed or soaked in water and positioned along the spine upon certain chakras. These stones, or known as 'laying on of stones', has its own different talent and are often used for divination and meditation purposes. You can warm your Source pendants in warm to hot water and then place them along the spine according to your chakras after a massage. This can help enliven energy along the spine.
Amplify Your Prayers and Ability To Turn Your Intentions Into Reality:
Harmonic balance and escalated vibrations within one's energetic fields are obtained when using Light Stream stone technology which allows healing, communication, and manifestation.
Expand Your Consciousness And Intuition:
The Light Stream stones increase an individual's measurable voltage and broaden its energy field. If used among groups of people, these stones can develop the power, clarity, and energy of Global messages or awareness through prayers of healing and peace. Holding these stones while centering on the objectives as a group will strengthen the message. Global Consciousness: Because the products increase individual's body voltage while expanding their energy eld, we can use groups of people to create Global Healing or to send out Global messages. When these groups send out prayers and messages while holding or wearing the pieces, their messages will be sent with more energy & clarity.
Boost Physical and Mental Performance:
High vibration pendants such as red jasper or hemitate are highly invigorating for athletes and those who are always on the go. These pendants may be used for several days prior to an event or demanding activity and bring it throughout the journey. It may also help restore the system and re-orchestrate your auric fields once held immediately after the events. Athletes benefit best with the combination of natural stone & metal pendants, used during or after a performance, race, or event. If you cannot wear it during, it is best to wear a pendant or necklace for 3-7 days prior to a performance. Wearing or holding apiece afterwards helps rejuvenate the system. Already, athletes use vigorous techniques to raise their body voltage. Our technology will assist with this, showing results on the volt meter.
Better Grades For Students:
There is a great demand for keeping memories for students. Students who have deficits in registering information in short-term memory often have difficulty remembering instructions or directions they have just been given. The stones once carried during exam days and during study lessons will help the student remain focused and grounded.

The San Francisco 49ers got the best revenge possible after last week's humbling loss to the Seattle Seahawks: They clinched the NFC West title.
Relive every game this season online and on-demand with enhanced viewing features, including the "All-22" coaches film. Get NFL Game Rewind.
Michael Crabtree caught eight passes for 172 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-13 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. The win was a typical one for the 49ers, who finished the regular season with an 11-4-1 record.
San Francisco's defense controlled the action, and the mostly conservative offense took time to pull away from Arizona. Quarterback Colin Kaepernick bounced back from a rough outing against the Seahawks with 276 yards and two touchdowns on just 28 passes.
This 49ers team is one of the toughest to prepare for in the NFL. They have proven they are capable of beating absolutely anyone, and they are capable of the occasional stinkbomb. Coach Jim Harbaugh's decision to roll with Kaepernick will be judged on playoff results, but the second-year pro deserves credit for his play.
Kaepernick finished off the 49ers' run to a division title. Now the fun stuff really starts.Follow Gregg Rosenthal on Twitter @greggrosenthal.

As Hurricane Sandy neared East Coast on Sunday evening, Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney canceled his third event of the day to be held in Virginia. Consequently, Romney and his running mate Paul Ryan attended three joint rallies in Ohio, one of the swing states in this election.
"Governor Romney's concern is the safety and well-being of those in the path of Hurricane Sandy," Romney campaign spokeswoman Andrea Saul said early Monday morning. According to her, Romney has been in contact with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell.
Originally, Romney's schedule for today included a morning rally in Ohio, followed by events in Illinois and Iowa, finishing with a rally in Wisconsin. Ryan was expected to fly from Ohio to Florida today, where he was to hold rallies in Jacksonville, Melbourne and Lakeland.
"I want to mention that our hearts and prayers are with all the people in the storm's path. Sandy is another devastating hurricane by all accounts, and a lot of people are going to be facing some real tough times as a result of Sandy's fury," Romney told supporters at his morning rally in Avon Lake, Ohio.
Late Monday morning, communications director Gail Gitcho announced more significant changes to Romney/Ryan campaign schedule, saying that Romney's event in Wisconsin and Ryan's events in Florida for the day have been canceled. As for Tuesday, Gitcho said:
"We are also canceling all events currently schedule for both Governor Romney and Congressman Ryan on Tuesday. Governor Romney believes this is a time for the nation and its leaders to come together to focus on those Americans who are in harms way. We will provide additional details regarding Governor Romney's and Congressman Ryan's schedule when they are available."
While Romney might not be campaigning in the states most affected by the Hurricane Sandy, his campaign is being proactive and in Virginia, North Carolina, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania, the campaign offices are collecting supplies for local relief efforts, reports CNN. In Virginia, the campaign bus is being utilized to deliver such supplies.
The campaigns are taking all necessary precautions to make sure that all of their staff are safe. Obama campaign spokesman Adam Fetcher said:
"The campaign is closely monitoring the storm and we are taking all necessary precautions to make sure our staff and volunteers are safe. Where it's safe to do so, our historic grassroots organization is running at full speed in eastern battleground states to persuade undecided voters and get our supporters out to the polls between now and Election Day."
As early as Saturday, Romney's campaign encouraged its Twitter followers to support the Hurricane Sandy relief efforts by donating to the Red Cross, "Please support the #Sandy relief efforts by donating to the Red Cross. Text REDCROSS to 90999 or click here: http://rdcrss.org/PSpvi2."
President Barack Obama, himself sent out a tweet Sunday evening, saying: "If you're on the Eastern seaboard, please make sure to follow the instructions of your state and local officials today. Stay safe. -bo." Late Monday morning, his campaign sent out a tweet similar to Romney's encouraging followers to donate to Red Cross.

U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
Litigation Release No. 18905 / September 28, 2004
Accounting and Auditing Enforcement Release No. 2112 / September 28, 2004
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION v. JEREMY R. LENT, JOHN V. HASHMAN, YINZI CAI, DOUGLAS WACHTEL and BRUCE RIGIONE, United States District Court for the Northern District of California, Civil Action No. C-04-4088 FMS
On September 28, 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed securities fraud charges against the former Chairman, Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and three other senior officers of NextCard, Inc., a San Francisco, California-based credit card issuer. NextCard, which is now in bankruptcy, was the first major credit card issuer to offer cards exclusively over the Internet.
According to the Commission's complaint, beginning in at least November 2000, NextCard began to suffer higher than expected delinquencies and losses on its credit card loans-a reflection of customers paying their credit card bills late or not paying them at all. Instead of revealing these problems to investors, NextCard's senior officers made a series of undisclosed, after-the-quarter accounting adjustments on NextCard's books. The adjustments - which NextCard's then-CEO described in his own handwritten notes as "accounting gimmickry" - made it appear that NextCard's customers were paying their bills in a timely fashion, a key indicator of the financial health of a credit card issuer.
In fact, NextCard's business model of issuing credit cards over the Internet resulted in NextCard issuing cards to many customers with relatively poor credit who could not pay back their credit card loans in a timely fashion and, in many instances, not at all. Instead of accounting for these as bad loans and writing them off as uncollectible, as NextCard had done in previous quarters, NextCard simply reclassified many of these accounts as "fraudulent accounts," which were not separately reported to the public, and then failed to tell anyone. Thus, defendants led stock analysts and investors to believe falsely that NextCard was meeting its projections and that its late-paying and uncollectible loans were rising only moderately, when in fact they were escalating rapidly.
The Commission's complaint charges the following former NextCard officers with financial fraud: former Chairman Jeremy Lent of Holualoa, Hawaii; former CEO, John Hashman of Danville, Calif.; former President and Chief Operating Officer Yinzi Cai of Palo Alto, Calif.; former Controller, Douglas Wachtel of San Francisco, Calif.; and former Chief Financial Officer, Bruce Rigione of New Canaan, Conn. The complaint, which was filed in federal district court in San Francisco, also charges Lent, Hashman, Cai and Wachtel with insider trading, based on their sale of NextCard stock at inflated prices during the course of the fraud. Lent sold approximately $7 million worth of NextCard stock, Hashman sold $321,000, Cai sold $423,000 and Wachtel sold $105,000. Lent's stock sales were carried out through the Lent Family Trust, which is also named in the complaint as a relief defendant.
The complaint alleges that NextCard failed to disclose to investors reclassifications or changes in its accounting methodology for late paying and uncollectible loans in its earnings releases and periodic reports for the fourth quarter of the 2000 fiscal year and the first and second quarters of 2001. In addition, the complaint alleges that for the second quarter of 2001 NextCard changed its methodology for calculating reserves for its uncollectible loans. This change reduced the amount of reserves the company had to set aside to cover expected losses on its loans by 15% to 25%, and artificially inflated the company's reported net income for the second quarter of 2001.
According to the complaint, in October 2001 the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC"), which regulated NextCard's subsidiary, NextBank, required NextCard to reverse the reclassifications and changes in accounting methodology. On October 31, 2001, NextCard issued a press release stating that it was changing its accounting for uncollectible loans and that the OCC considered NextBank to be significantly undercapitalized. NextCard's stock price fell 84% that day, and the company went into bankruptcy the following year.
The Commission's complaint charges the defendants with committing and aiding and abetting fraud in violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"), and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, as well as aiding and abetting NextCard's violations of the same statue. The complaint also charges Lent, Hashman, Rigione and Wachtel with aiding and abetting NextCard's violations of the reporting provisions of the Exchanges Act, Section 13(a) and 13(b)(2)(A) of the Exchange Act and Rules 12b-20, 13a-1 and 13a-13 thereunder. Further, Lent, Hashman, Cai and Wachtel are charged in the complaint for violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act") and for insider trading in violation of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. The complaint also charges Lent, Hashman and Cai as control persons for NextCard's violations of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder and Hashman and Lent as control persons for NextCard's violations of Section 13(a) and 13(b)(2)(A) of the Exchange Act and Rules 12b-20, 13a-1 and 13a-13 thereunder.
This is the second action brought by the Commission as a result of the financial fraud at NextCard. In September 2003, the Commission charged three former employees of NextCard's independent auditors, Ernst and Young ("E&Y"), for altering and destroying E&Y's working papers for the fiscal year 2000 audit of E&Y client NextCard, Inc.
The Commission acknowledges the assistance and cooperation of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.

Underclassmen Come up Huge in Well-Rounded Team Showing
NEW HAVEN, Conn.—After a tough loss to Harvard in its season opener, the Yale men's cross country team needed a strong performance to help gather momentum and get the team moving in the right direction. Fortunately, the Bulldogs came through with a clutch showing at the 19th annual Brother John "Paddy" Doyle Iona College Meet of Champions in New York City on Saturday. Running on the 8K course at Van Cortlandt Park, the Bulldogs flew by most of their competition, including rival Brown (ranked 11th in the northeast region), Navy (seventh in the mid-Atlantic) and St. Joseph's (12th in the mid-Atlantic). At the end of the day, the Elis finished second overall with 97 points, trailing only meet hosts Iona—a premier program ranked second in the northeast region and 13th in the country.
Despite not having a runner finish in the top 13 overall on Saturday, the Bulldogs cruised to their second-place finish due to a remarkably well-rounded team performance. Navy (third place – 103 points) had two athletes finish in the top 10 overall, while St. Joseph's (fourth – 113 points) had two runners place in the top 13. Neither team, however, was any match for the Bulldog's tremendous depth. The Elis were one of only three teams (Iona and Navy being the others) to have all of their top seven runners finish in the top 50 overall.
"I was pleased with the progress we've made since last week," said Head Men's Cross Country Coach Paul Harkins. "The guys were definitely running a little bit tired, but I was happy with the effort. I thought we ran smart and did essentially what we were supposed to do."
For the second consecutive weekend, sophomore Alex Conner and freshman James Randon were the Bulldog's top two runners. On Saturday, the pair crossed the finish line at the same exact time (25:57.1) to take 14th and 15th in the race. Conner—who finished in Yale's top seven four times last season—appears to be on his way to easily breaking that mark this year. He burst onto the scene at the end of last season, placing second on the team at the Ivy League Heptagonal Championships and fourth on the team at Regionals, and he now seems to be establishing himself as one of the team's top athletes. Meanwhile, Randon—a three-time New Balance Nationals All-American in high school—is already emerging as one of the Elis' most reliable runners in his first year.
Yale's entire top three was actually the same as last weekend's, as junior John McGowan finished in 26:00.52 to take 17th place. One of the team's most consistent runners, McGowan has finished in Yale's top seven in every race in which he has competed during the past two seasons.
Two more young Bulldogs—freshman Andre Ivankovic and sophomore Duncan Tomlin—also finished in the team's top seven for the second consecutive race. Tomlin finished fourth on the team (25th – 26:17.48), while Ivankovic was sixth (41st – 26:33.20).
The two newcomers to the Elis' top seven were sophomore Kevin Dooney (28th – 26:20.83) and junior Tom Harrison (45th – 26:41.50). Junior Isa Qasim (56th – 26:50.25) and senior team captain Ryan Laemel (59th – 26:51.77) finished just outside the top seven.
Yale's great result at Van Cortlandt Park is hardly a surprise—the team has dominated the course throughout the past several years, finishing fourth at the Iona Meet in 2009, third at the Fordham Fiasco (also held at Van Corlandt Park) in 2011 and first at the Fordham Fiasco in 2012.
Now two races into the season, the Bulldogs will have next weekend off before heading to Bethlehem, Pa., to compete at the Paul Short Invitational on Oct. 5.
"We're going to work hard over these next couple weeks to get ready for Paul Short," said Harkins. "We're excited to head down to the Lehigh Valley in a couple weeks."
