Investigations and Arrests:
Early morning October 21, deputies assisted with a multi county pursuit which originated in Salisbury Missouri. The suspect vehicle had been stolen in Michigan and the occupant(s) may have been involved in a business burglary in Chariton County. Our deputies assisted in attempting to lay spike strips for the stolen vehicle but the driver successfully eluded many attempts in this and other counties to flatten the vehicles tires. The two men were apprehended in Putnam County and are being held on alleged felony charge(s). The chase went through Chariton, Carroll, Livingston, Grundy, Mercer, and Putnam Counties. Fortunately no one was injured during this incident.
Last weeks incident in Wheeling where a victim reported his dog was shot has taken another step. The DVM confirmed the dog had a bullet wound. We have not been able to locate any witnesses or reliable information to confirm what property the dog was on when it was shot or by whom. Anyone with information is asked to call the LCSO at 660-646-0515.
On or about October 19 an off duty deputy sheriff allegedly witnessed a bond violation of a person on bond from the Associate Circuit Court for a felony allegation on case number 13LV-CR00351. A report was submitted to the Court regarding the alleged violation. On October 23 we served a Livingston County arrest warrant on Michael James Jessa, 25, Chillicothe for alleged bond violation on original charge of Assault 2nd Degree. Mr. Jessa was incarcerated in the Daviess Dekalb County Jail in lieu of $15,000 cash bond.

October 22 we investigated a report of suspicious activity in the 200 block of East Polk. A potential stalker was reported and further investigation is taking place.
We have begun an investigation of a horse running at large in southern Livingston County. This has turned into an animal abuse/neglect investigation. We are currently seeking a Court order to seize the livestock.
October 22 we served a Livingston County arrest warrant on Jerry W. Tacy, 47, Wheeling for alleged Failure to Appear in Court on original charge of class D felony Non-Support Violation on case number 13LV-CR00099. Bond was set at arrearage being $55,000 Cash. Mr. Tacy was transferred to the DDCRJ in lieu of bond.
October 23 we served a Livingston County arrest warrant on Benjamin Thomas Millazzo, 36, Laredo, for alleged Failure to Obey a Judge's Order on original charge of Hindering Prosecution, class A misdemeanor. Mr. Millazzo was transferred to the DDCRJ in lieu of $500 cash bond on case number 13LV-CR00443.
Early morning October 24 we assisted a Chillicothe resident that was involved in a car/deer collision about 2 miles north of Chillicothe. Fortunately the driver was not injured but her car received extensive damage. The MSHP Trooper assisted the citizen in getting to her employment in Trenton.
Other Court Actions:
Presiding Circuit Judge Thomas N. Chapman held Criminal Law Day on Monday and at least the following people who were in custody were sentenced to the Department of Corrections either to execute their sentence, shock time, or attend treatment or other programs:
Kevin Middaugh, 27, Chillicothe, Probation Violation on Delivering an Imitation Controlled Substance, 4 years DOC with 120 day program.
Shona B. Richey, 49, Kansas City, class D felony Probation Violation DWI, 4 years consecutive to any other sentences.
John P. Ashford Jr., 40, Chillicothe, class C felony Conspiracy to Distribute Controlled Substance, 5 years DOC consecutive to any other sentences.
Lorraine Hatfield, 44, Chillicothe, class C felony Possession of Controlled Substance, 5 years DOC consecutive to any other sentences.
Abby Cooley, 28, Chillicothe, class B felony Distribution of Controlled Substance, 12 years DOC consecutive with 120 day program.
Jeremy Orona, 25, Chillicothe, class C felony Stealing, 7 years DOC consecutive with any other sentences and 120 day program.
Casey Russell, 25, St. Charles, class D felony Conspiracy/Forgery, 3 years DOC consecutive to any other sentences.
Lowell Grimm, 29, Chillicothe, class C felony, Distribution of Controlled Substance, 7 years DOC consecutive to any other sentences.
Other Information:
On Monday we had an extensive amount of Court for both Associate and Circuit Courts. In all we had at least 41 detainees appear before the Honorable Thomas N. Chapman and the Honorable James Valbracht in addition to many other defendants that were not in custody. An additional 2 people were arrested and taken into custody during Court.
On Wednesday we had at least 11 detainees in Associate Circuit Court to appear before Judge James Valbracht. We also arrested and took an additional 3 people into custody during Court.
A case of felony theft investigated by the LCSO earlier this year resulted in the sentencing of Rochelle Ann Coltin, 44, Linn County, to 7 years in DOC, placed on probation for 5 years and orders restitution to the victim(s) in the amount of $13,296.78 in addition to other costs.
On August 22, a MOST WANTED Fugitive was arrested by authorities in Johnson County Kansas. Arrested was Matthew C. Bonnett, 23, on Livingston County arrest warrants for alleged non-support violation(s). Mr. Bonnett will be extradited to Missouri once any Kansas charges are taken care of and/or he waives extradition.
Please pay much closer attention when driving as the car/deer collisions have significantly increased. A combination of Mother Nature, crops being harvested, out door activities, and cooler weather have contributed to deer being much more active.
All persons are innocent unless and until proven guilty in a Court of law. A mere arrest and arrest warrant is only an allegation and does not prove guilt.

The Civic has topped the 'best compact car' lists for decades. With its consistent balance of quality, performance and practicality, that should come as no surprise. The 2016 model-year redesign made big improvements with extensive standard equipment, a high-quality stylish interior and a new powertrain lineup that comes at a range of price points intended to have something for everyone.
Compare the 2019 Honda Civic Hatchback against similar models
The 2019 Honda Civic is refreshed for the new year adding a new Sport trim for Sedan and Coupe models. Both feature a refreshed front fascia, an updated HondaLink infotainment system with easier to use controls and is offered in either the 2.0L naturally aspirated 4-cylinder or 1.5L turbo 4-cylinder engine. The 1.5L engine is no longer available with a 6-speed manual transmission. Honda Sensing is now standard across the entire lineup.
A vehicle's warranty can significant impact your maintenance costs after you drive off the dealer's lot, and it's important to understand the different parts. Typically, a new car warranty includes a Basic warranty, which covers everything except the wear items such as brakes and tires; and a Drivetrain warranty, that covers all the parts that make the car move, such as the engine and transmission
The NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) provides consumers with vehicle safety information based on independent testing, primarily front and side crash rating results, and more recently rollover ratings, to aid consumers in their vehicle purchase decisions.
Below are pictures of the 2019 Honda Civic Hatchback. Select the picture you want to view below
Below are the available colors for the 2019 Honda Civic Hatchback. Select the color to see a close-up view.
The Honda Civic has been around, and successful, for nearly half a century. You read that right, this is its 46th year. Another way of looking at that is that the Civic has been around for nearly half the time that cars have existed.
The sedan and coupe were redesigned in 2016. The hatchback followed in 2017, and for 2018 there were no changes. Now, in 2019, there are new headlamps, and some of the chrome in front has been replaced by cleaner black trim. But a more significant change is that automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warnings, and adaptive cruise control have been made standard on all models. That raises the price by about $500, but last year those features cost about $1,000 as an optional package.
There are so many types of Civic that it's difficult to generally describe the performance, but it can be said that it's a calm car, not a sporty one (except for the Civic Si and Type R), and it feels more like a small luxury car than a compact. It offers fluid handling, a comfortable ride, interior room in the sedan and cargo capacity in the hatchback.
The Civic family includes a coupe, sedan and hatchback, in six trims from base LX to Sport to fully-loaded Touring. They use two engines: a 158-horsepower 2.0-liter four cylinder, or a 174-hp 1.5-liter turbocharged four.
The Civic Si pumps that turbo four up to 205 horsepower, and uses an adaptive suspension; it changes the character of the Civic, offering fun with the frugality, and throws in refinement as a bonus.
The Type R hatchback with its aero styling tosses a shrieking 306-horsepower, 2.0-liter turbo-4 at buyers. Why? Because Honda can. Both the Si and Type R come with a continuously variable transmission (CVT), but a 6-speed manual is available.
Honda says the best-selling Civic is the sedan with the more powerful 1.5-liter turbocharged engine making 174 horsepower, which comes in the three top sedan models, EX-L, EX-T, and Touring (it's standard in the hatchback). Fuel mileage for those models is exceptional, at 32 mpg city, 42 highway, and a satisfying 36 mpg combined. The aerodynamics apparently aren't quite as good on the hatchback and coupe, which get 34 mpg and 35 mpg, respectively.
Civics with the non-turbo 2.0-liter engine making 158 horsepower make 2 mpg less, at 30/40/34 mpg with the CVT.
Even Civic Si with its bump up to 205 horsepower doesn't take a big hit on fuel mileage, at 28/38/32 mpg as either the coupe or hatchback. The Civic Type R is the relatively thirsty one, although 25 mpg and 306 horsepower is still a winning formula.
The 2019 Civic hasn't been crash-tested yet, but the 2018 earned five stars overall for most models, with four stars for the Coupe in the frontal crash test for the passenger side. The IIHS rated the Civic's active safety technology that is standard in 2019 "Superior.â€
At $20,345 to start, the 2019 Honda Civic LX sedan's price climbs to $21,145 when its standard 6-speed manual is swapped for a continuously variable transmission (CVT). A coupe version of the Civic LX—only available with a CVT—costs $21,545.
For $1,700 more, a new Civic Sport trim level swaps a 5.0-inch display for a 7.0-inch touchscreen for infotainment with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, 18-inch wheels, keyless ignition, and a number of appearance upgrades. The Civic Sport is available in both sedan and coupe versions with either the 6-speed manual or the CVT, but it uses the same 158-horsepower 2.0-liter inline-4 as the Civic LX.
Upgrading to the Civic EX pushes the Civic's price another $1,000 to $24,095 for the coupe and $24,295. It loses the Sport's 18-inch wheels but gains a 174-hp 1.5-liter turbo-4, power driver's seat, moonroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, and a right-side camera that monitors the vehicle's blind spots.
Previously, the Civic EX could be had with a 6-speed manual transmission, but that combination disappeared for 2019. On the bright side, the turbo-4 engine was previously optional on the Civic EX.
Leather seats are optional on the Civic EX sedan (turning it into the Civic EX-L) for $1,200.
The Civic Touring tops the lineup for $28,195 in sedan guise and $27,745 as a coupe. It builds on the EX-L with 18-inch wheels, LED headlights, navigation, and a few other features.
The sedan, the most popular Civic body style, doesn't look like an economy car, with its sleek and sweeping profile, and its edgy creases and slits in the sheetmetal. It's low and wide and looks bigger than it is, with flared wheels and a wedged tail with Acura-like taillamps. It might be mistaken for a hatchback at first glance, even with its conventional trunk.
The Hatchback is nearly the same as the sedan, from the B pillars between the doors to the front of the hood. It rides on the same 106.3-inch wheelbase, but it's 4.4 inches shorter in overall length, as its chopped-off tail cuts that amount from behind the rear wheels. Everything behind the pillars is distinctive, and it's downright swoopy for a so-called hatchback, but its styling comes off as busy.
Our favorite is the Civic Coupe, the fashion model of the lineup, with dramatic character lines running the length of its body. It looks especially good in this year's new Sport trim with its 18-inch alloy wheels and additional black accents.
The Civic Si, available as a sedan and coupe but not hatchback, uses different trim and sportier wheels. If you want a more powerful hatchback your only choice is the Type R, hatchback only, but it goes over the edge with its boy-racer looks.
The Civic cabin is fairly conservative, tame and organized, with tasteful trim and a horizontal dash and central touchscreen. The emphasis is on the functional, with a wide center console and a generous number of pockets and bins. The soft-touch materials and low-sheen plastics have a feel of quality.
The dash is low and the front seat raises, so forward vision is excellent. The gauges are clean and crisp, except on the deluxe Touring model, which gets a digital display on an LCD screen.
The standard 5.0-inch screen on the base LX is too small; all other models use a 7.0-inch touchscreen that fits the dash better, while its infotainment has Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.
There's a lot of room inside, enough for a 6-footer in back with an inch of knee room to spare.
The sedan's generous 15.1 cubic-foot trunk is nearly as large as that of a mid-size sedan. Coupes sacrifice space for style and come in with just 12 cubic feet. The hatchback, even though truncated, has much more cargo capacity: 25.7 cubic feet with the rear seat up and 46.2 cubic feet with it folded flat. It can carry a mountain bike with the front wheel removed. It also features an innovative sideways sliding cargo cover that can be stowed on either side.
The non-turbocharged 2.0-liter engine making 158 horsepower comes in the LX, Sport, and EX, with a continuously variable transmission (CVT); a 6-speed manual is available, and we really like it, despite its lower fuel mileage. The engine is quiet enough and has decent power for commuting, but it's boring. The CVT gets the job done well, less flawed than most of its kind.
The turbocharged 1.5-liter engine making 174 horsepower (or 180 hp in other states of tune) comes with the EX-T, EX-L, and Touring models, or any Hatchback. The engine is not only quicker and more responsive than the 2.0 liter, it's more fuel efficient. There is some turbo lag, which the standard CVT can exacerbate. However this CVT feels much better than the one paired with the base 2.0-liter engine. It's smooth and quiet although still not quick or exciting.
Ride and handling is where the Civic excels. Quick, direct steering and a taut and a compliant suspension give the Civic precision and composure both in the city and rushing down curvy roads. It doesn't dance over bumps, it manages them. The suspension uses struts in the front with hydraulic bushings, and multi-links in the rear with a rigid subframe, with hydraulic bushings on EX-T models and above, as well as 17-inch wheels and tires. Same with the turbocharged Civics.
Civics with 17-inch alloy wheels ride the best. The 18-inch wheels on Civic Sport and Touring versions look good but transmit more bumps to the cabin.
The Civic LX and EX ride on pedestrian 215/55HR16 tires that run out of grip and ability to cushion the ride on bad pavement, but still the ride's not bad. Handling is predictable even when grip is not, as we observed on wet roads covered with leaves.
Because the steering column is thicker (for crashworthiness), the Civic uses a sophisticated steering system, a dual-pinion, variable-ratio setup. There's a motor in the steering rack that provides gradual and consistent steering boost. The brakes are firm and fast to respond, with a short pedal stroke.
The Civic Si takes the 1.5-liter turbo engine and boosts it to 205 horsepower. It's a model of approachable performance. A 6-speed manual with short throws is the only transmission choice, and we like it. An adjustable suspension lets drivers toggle between normal and sport modes.
The Type R uses a 2.0-liter making an eye-popping 306 horsepower. It's an engine that loves to rev, and it pairs beautifully to the standard 6-speed manual. It's almost too quick for the street, but that makes it no different from hundreds of other cars. Managing that power is a lot to ask for front-wheel drive, but the Type R displays remarkable balance thanks to a helical limited-slip differential and high-performance tires.
So many Civics, so little time. You'd need at least three personalities to get the full Civic experience. As enthusiasts, we like the Si, but wish it came in hatchback form. The Type R is out there for the Subaru WXR STi and Ford Focus RSR crowd. The 1.5-liter turbo engine is a much better choice than the 2.0-liter non-turbo, for its responsiveness as well as its better CVT. It's still hard to go wrong with the bare-bones LX. It's a Civic, after all.

As you know, pricing cars is particularly complicated. One of our duties at CarQuotes.com is to help our customers comprehend this process better.
CarQuotes.com Estimated Target Price is for research purposes only. It reflects a typical, negotiated price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, license and registration, and where applicable, finance charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. The Estimated Target Price is NOT a price quote from CarQuotes.com or any other dealer. If you request a price quote from a dealer via CarQuotes.com displaying an estimated target price, your price may differ.
Invoice is commonly known as the published amount that the dealer paid the manufacturer for the vehicle. This may or may not represent a close relation to the dealer's actual cost, but can be beneficial as a benchmark. This figure is available on many other web sites however CarQuotes.com adds an estimate of local and regional fees from manufacturer to the dealers to this price, which makes it very close to the actual invoice amount for cars at your local dealer.
MSRP is the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price. This is a proposed price only. For most vehicles, the CarQuotes.com price is below this amount. Some high demand cars may be priced over this amount.
The CarQuotes.com Target Price is to be used as a general guide that reflects a typical, market price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. This price is based on our research and estimates of supply and demand in the marketplace. There are many factors that go into the final price of a particular vehicle including local supply and demand. Your final price may differ.
The 'base' price of the vehicle
All options that you select
Base Destination Charges — this is a charge that is added to the base price for every vehicle
Any related Estimated Manufacture to Consumer Cash Rebates. Note: rebates are subject to change at any time. Please make sure to confirm any consumer Cash rebates with your dealer representative at the time of purchase.
Local taxes, license fees and other local fees, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, and where applicable, finance charges — these fees are also excluded from Dealer Invoice and MSRP and would be excluded from most advertisements you might see.
Random 'special qualification' rebates — i.e., for new college grads only; for customers trading in a specific type of car. Ask your dealer Representative for more information on 'special qualification' rebates.
The Estimated CarQuotes Dealer Price is an estimate of the pricing presented to CarQuotes members from CarQuotes Authorized Dealers in your area, and is calculated by subtracting an estimated savings value from the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price ("MSRP") as well as a value that relates to invoice for the "ideal vehicle" you configured. Dealer documentation, administrative or similar processing fees are not included in the price estimate. Any vehicle configured on the CarQuotes website is an "ideal vehicle" and may not exist at a CarQuotes Authorized Dealer or any other partner dealer. Each Dealer attempts to match a member's vehicle preferences with the best possible selection from current, in-stock inventory.
The Estimated Savings represents the estimated amount of savings off of MSRP available to you from CarQuotes Dealers for a vehicle consistent with your configured preferences plus any customer incentives currently available. This is also true when it comes to CarQuotes estimated target prices. Your actual savings will depend on several factors including market conditions, the style of vehicle you select, installed options, dealer coverage, and applicable manufacturer incentives. Each dealer sets its own pricing.
In most cases, you must choose between these programs OR a customer rebate or a special manufacturer-to-dealer incentive that may or may not already be included in your CarQuotes.com Target Price. So, your final price may go up if you take advantage of special manufacturer financing. Credit Union members should contact their Credit Union loan department to determine what type of loan and financing options are right for you.
Please note that CarQuotes.com strives to include identified manufacturer incentives within the CarQuotes.com Target Price. CarQuotes.com does not administer these programs, which are subject to and often change without notice. Eligibility for these programs is subject to verification by a licensed auto dealer.
Ask your dealer representative for complete manufacturer program details for your area, and how participation in these programs will affect your price.
The base vehicle is the vehicle before any optional equipment or destination fees have been added. All of the standard features are included in the base vehicle.
This is the total charge for all optional equipment included in the configuration of your virtual vehicle. The Options charge varies depending on whether it is calculated based on the Factory Invoice or MSRP. Options are not included in the base vehicle price and are not considered standard features.
A Regional Fee is the fee a manufacturer charges a dealer to advertise and promote the vehicle in the dealer's market. CarQuotes also includes estimated manufacturer preparation charges (manufacturer charges to the dealer to cover any work done on the car prior to delivering it to the dealership) and fuel charges (the charge for the fuel in the tank when the buyer purchases the vehicle) in this total. CarQuotes attempts to include regional ad fees in its Factory Invoice calculations; other sites at times do not.
These are the amounts that manufacturers charge to deliver a vehicle from the factory to the dealership.
Customer incentives are also commonly known as customer cash or bonus incentives. These incentives are offered by manufacturers as a way of enticing buyers into purchasing a vehicle.
Dealer Invoice price may or may not bear close relation to a dealer's actual cost for the vehicle. In some cases, a cost for a vehicle may be significantly less than the invoice price originally paid for the vehicle. Any difference between invoice price and the dealer's final cost may be caused by many factors including factory refunds, rebates, allowances, or incentives which the manufacturer or distributor may provide to the dealer.

For those with fine or flyaway hair we often turn to hair extensions to add volume more than length. We want thicker hair that looks vibrant and has plenty of movement from root to tip. Fine hair might be manageable and can hold its shape but it can also look lifeless.
To boost fine hair extensions can be the ideal solution. But to add even more volume we have a few tips that can help you make the most of your locks.
- If you want to make hair look thicker use waves and curls to add texture. Dream Girl has a range of waves and curls hair extensions that will add bounce and shape to your hair.
- A fringe might seem like a good way to revamp your style but even if you wear hair extensions this can be a problem. You fine fringe will seem quite wispy and might not be the blunt shape you were after. Instead opt for a side swept style to have a longer fringe that covers part of the forehead.
Good fringes that work really well on fine hair are those with slightly longer sections on the sides, like feathering. You can wear hair extensions or a hairpiece to add volume to the roots and use a fringe and side sections to add a more romantic style, like Alexa Chung.
- If you're opting for waves then part in the middle. It will emphasize the texture of the waves and make your hair look thicker.
- A deep side parting is not only totally on trend it will also make you look as though you hair more hair. Simply style hair as normal and ten part from the back and side. Leave hair to look slightly messy. Ultimate grunge look for fashionistas.
- If you like to wear your hair straight then opt for a blunter cut to make hair look thick. Blunt styles are a keytrend for Spring/Summer 2015.
- If you're wearing hair extensions but want hair to look as thick as possible as your stylist to create "hidden layers" These will shape your hair around your face and will give it plenty of movement.
A half-up do is your friend if you have fine hair. Mix it up and add a hairpiece to add extra volume at the crown. Push hair up slightly to create a Bardot effect, like Rachel McAdams.
- Fine hair can take plenty of styling and is workable in different styles but remember to think about the ends. If you're adding texture or waves then do so at the mid-lengths but not at the ends, leave them straighter. This will create an optical illusion where your hair has more texture but looks longer and thicker.
- An up-do can always make your hair look thicker. Plenty of backcombing along with some cleverly placed Clip'N Go hair extensions can add extra volume at the crown and sides for a high-impact style.

The Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum in Los Angeles has launched its season gloriously with King Lear, heralding a summer quintet of Shakespearean productions to honor the Bard's 450th birthday.
This masterpiece has been oft-produced on stage and screen. Theatricum artistic director Ellen Geer has adapted what may well be the most original version of Lear since – if not the First Folio – since Jean-Luc Godard's 1987 film co-starring Woody Allen, Norman Mailer, Burgess Meredith, and Molly Ringwald. What makes the Theatricum's Lear so offbeat is its gender role reversals. Here, the monarch is portrayed by a woman, with Ellen herself in the title role, and Lear's daughters all played by males: Theatricum veterans Aaron Hendry as Goneril and Christopher W. Jones as Regan, and relative newcomer Dane Oliver as a fresh-faced, sweet, if tongue-tied Cordelia.
Now, these actors do not perform in drag and do play roles that match their offstage sex. The gender reassignment flows smoothly. Britain, after all, where Shakespeare's tragedy takes place, has had female rulers such as Queen Victoria and both Elizabeths who reigned for long periods.
As Eden (Shakespeare's Edgar), Willow Geer also switches gears: In the second act her character masquerades as a male beggar, a disguise necessitated by the treachery of Eden's half-sister Igraine (Abby Craden plays the character Shakespeare called Edmond), who cravenly tricks their father, the Earl of Gloucester (Alan Blumenfeld), into believing that Eden is plotting against him.
Lear's characters arguably commit Western theater's biggest, most tragic mistakes since Oedipus plucked his eyes out at ancient Greek amphitheaters. Lear's vanity, puffed up over a lifetime of being susceptible to flattery as the monarch, leads to a colossal error when it comes to her offspring. Gloucester betrays a similar lapse in judgment. If power corrupts, absolute power corrupts the ego absolutely — especially of an absolute monarch. It was Shakespeare's existential genius to make his characters only able to think logically after going mad, or able to see clearly after losing one's eyesight (in what may be a reference to Sophocles' Oedipus the King).
The white-haired Ellen Geer's energetic acting is extraordinary, full of vitality that belies and defies her years. There's only room to mention a few standouts in this large cast. Abby Craden's spiteful, born-out-of-wedlock Igraine is a conniving, cunning schemer, determined to rise on the social totem pole by any means necessary.
As the Earl of Gloucester, Alan Blumenfeld is moving as a man who has been blinded — literally. Willow Geer splendidly comes alive in the second act, with scenes her Eden dominates. Depicting Lear's Fool, Mellora Marshall delivers the goods with an uncanny cross-dressing performance in what is a pivotal role, since in medieval Europe court jesters were the only subjects allowed to publicly voice critiques of the crown and court. And if ever a crowned head needed a sound tongue lashing (albeit with its barbs sugarcoated in humor), it is Lear, whose epic mistakes in judging character wreak havoc.
Ellen Geer's and Marshall's co-direction is likewise inspired, making full use of the amphitheater's space amidst Topanga Canyon's sylvan glade. With much of the action happening all around you, this is a theatrical version of Cinerama — in 3-D and living color! Lear's rooftop madness scene is stunningly staged, and there's plenty of swordplay onstage and gamboling through the surrounding woods.
Works written centuries ago can take on new meaning when put into a modern context, striking contemporary chords. The intercepting of messages, which plays a key role in Lear (circa 1606), has an updated relevance for our century. Although Lear's parchment and ink messages are not the emails and phone calls of our time, we can relate this plot device to any number of modern phone hacking scandals, and to the whole brouhaha surrounding Edward Snowden, with its releases of classified information. Indeed, the online publication that Glenn Greenwald and his First Look Media partners in thought crime have created is called The Intercept.
Lear is being performed in repertory through Oct. 4 along with Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, Much Ado About Nothing, and All's Well That Ends Well, plus Bill Cain's Equivocation, which imagines a Shakespeare-like playwright writing about Guy Fawkes and England's 1605 Gunpowder Plot, at the Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum, 1419 N. Topanga Canyon Blvd., Topanga, California, 90290. For repertory schedule and other information call: (310) 455-3723, or see: www.Theatricum.com.

Cinema has a very close relationship with the status quo. It is no coincidence that the latest productions represent a 'wanting' of something better than what's currently on offer in this age of poverty. In these late films people can perform magic and fly, whilst the dark side of life is shown through vampires and ware-wolves, each with their own fantastical powers. During the Vietnam War films tended to be disaster movies, mirroring the mood of the people by killing hundreds of souls in fires, floods and crashes of various vehicles in silly situations.
The last great Sci-Fi spell was during the release of the StarWars franchise. Although we recently enjoyed a resurgence of Sci-Fi such as Star Trek, District 9 and Sunshine; generally new releases are of a fantastical nature.
EvE Online is the richest game world I have ever experienced. Whith such abundant content I often wonder if it would be a successful translation to screen but, considering Hollywood's often inept handling of the subject matter, perhaps it isn't desirable to allow such a fickle business to interpret our beloved galaxy into a flimsy film. Besides, it takes months to truly understand what's occurring in EvE Online, a luxury that filmmakers cannot afford to portray on-screen.
Recently there was an announcement that one of my all time favourite games was to be given the Hollywood treatment. The thought of various movie moguls discussing the translation of Shadow of the Colossus into a film frightens me; a simple game but with very subtle complexities that I am sure will be missed while hunting for the ultimate colossus effect. EvE Online would surely be handled in a similar ham-fisted manner, a fate for which would border on blasphemy.
If a film ever were to be produced I would be the first in the queue. Not for the reasons you may assume, but to be sure that my suspicions were correct. Who knows, perhaps the impossible could happen where I'd be pleasantly surprised, but I doubt that muchly. EvE Online is beyond Hollywood, and much better for it in my opinion.

"Excellent quality of care from all staff..."
About: Leighton Hospital Leighton Hospital Crewe CW1 4QJ
Posted via nhs.uk
What I liked
From the minute I walked through the doors of the Urgent Care Centre, through admission via SAU, subsequent emergency operation , post operative care on Ward 13 to discharge I was totally impressed with the high standards of care and expertise I received from all staff that I had contact with.
The consultant and team not only did an excellent job surgically but also had time for explanations, advice, responding to my queries and generally exchanging pleasantries that make you feel better.
The nursing team at all grades all worked well together, were very professional and showed high standards of nursing expertise but still found time to view each patient holistically and to ensure that emotional aspects of post operative recovery were taken into consideration. The nursing team appear to be very supportive of one another and this then transfers automatically to patient care where no aspect seemed to be 'too much trouble' and each patient could not help but feel important and valued.
The standards were such that I would recommend Ward 13 as an excellent placement for student nurses to experience surgical nursing and to learn not only the physical tasks of nursing but also the psychological, emotional and spiritual aspects such as motivation, empathy, reassurance and interaction with patients, relatives and fellow professionals.. Thus producing qualified nurses that are knowledgeable, evidence based practitioners who are a credit to their profession and an asset to the NHS .
The standards of cleanliness were good, the food was good and the bed was comfortable. After care from other disciplines such as physiotherapy, pain management team and social support aspects of recovery were explored also.
What could be improved
Unable to think of any aspect that could be improved.
Thank you for taking the time to add your comments to this section of the NHS Choices website.
We have passed your comments to the staff in the areas where you were treated. We are were pleased to receive your positive feedback on the high standards of care you received.

I don't know if you saw my post a few weeks ago about my new favourite past time – colouring in!, but ever since then, I have been trawling Etsy for some gorgeous doodles and colouring booklets by bona fide artists for me to print out and colour in!
I've gone to Etsy because I know how many talented artists there are out there and I believe artists deserve payment for their creations, especially if I'm going to print and colour away to my hearts content. I've found some fabulous little booklets, patterns and pages.
My favourites seem to be florals but I have been saving patterns and ladies to try at a later date.
The Awesome Colouring Pages & Books:
Ok so my favourite is Number 2.. I love the coloured in version you can see a little peek of.
I don't know why but every time I see that 'You Are Strong' poster, I sing Pat Benetars 'Love Is A Battle Field', it may be because my eyes can see 'are' and the ending of 'ong'…. which leads me on to…'we are yooooooung, heart ache to heart ache we stand!'
That will be in my head all day now. I apologise for that ear worm ^_^
Don't forget to get your essential supplies!
1. The Ladies colouring book by SLSLines
(this is advertised as an Adult Colouring book which made me think there were naughty bits but there aren't, it's just for grown-ups. Although there is also a Pin Up version with rude parts available in the store too)
There are 14 pages (each one is 8.5″ x 11″/A4 Size) to colour with a different pretty lady illustration on each page.
Not suitable for under 18's.
2. 'You Are Strong' print by FishScraps
Grab your prismacolor pencils and get colouring! The yellow in this print is so eye catching and I would even love to buy it as a final print without me having to do the work!
3. Printable Quotes Colouring Book from The Shiny Nest.
Do you love colouring for mindfulness?
This book contains 10 motivational/inspirational quotes, Quote #1 to Quote #10 that can be purchased individually too, in my store. These quotes can be purchased individually as well- just look for the yellow previews. Upon purchase, you will receive 1 pdf book containing the 10 coloring pages (in high resolution, without the copyright watermark) via a secure link.
-Info from the listing.
4. Printable Mandala colouring page
Mandala's are my favourite things to draw, but honestly, I have no time for that (running two blogs) so these colouring pages are perfect for me to download and print out!
5. Patterned Delight Colouring Pages
6. 5 Midori Colouring Page Inserts
10 Image colouring book for midori by Robin Mead Designs. If you have a Midori Journal then these colouring books are essential! If you haven't downloaded them yet, what are you doing!?
7. Dia De Los Muertos by SLSLines
I LOVE this. SLSLines is possibly my favourite but honestly.. they're all amazing and they're all on my list to purchase (I've bought two already and working my way through them).
8. Flower Garden by MauindiArts
This is a stunning colouring page and even though I prefer to colour, less intricate designs because I'm incredibly impatient, I do love using my Prismacolor pencils!
9. Flowers by WillowHillArt
I draw flowers, alllll of the time! So, I thought it was a genius idea to scan them in and offer them as colouring pages!
10. She Believed She Could So She Did Quote Coloring Page
I hope you like these! The selections are obviously tailored to what I like but I'm sure you'll like at least one of them!
Have any of you tried any colouring in as a grown up?
I've found that it's great in the evening for winding down before bed. Stops my mind from racing a million miles an hour when I get into bed. You can see some of my favourite colouring tools and supplies here!
P.S – I found a great article if you love colouring things in — How To Colour In
P.P.S – If you have a laser printer or access to a laser printer, you could print these pages on watercolour paper and use watercolour pencils or paint to colour in!

Children's Book Illustrations
Once upon a time (well actually a few years ago), a Grandmother wrote a short children's book. This legendary lore was then obtained by her daughter and was presented to her son, a young, valiant illustrator name Colin. He then took the words and visually represented them in illustrations, drawn in ink, scanned, and digitally painted in photoshop. With these two forces combined, a children's book was born, and it was named "The New Kid on Our Block".
There are only but three printed copies in existence at this point in time. Several aspects will be reworked and tweaked until the final project is complete. Obtaining this book may be a difficult task. A second edition will be printed sometime in the future. They all lived happily ever after.

You've been there yourself -- the tears, the anger, the chocolate. It's better known as a breakup, and no matter who you are, it's hard to deal with. Even though she thought this was the guy of her dreams, it didn't work out and your girlfriend is left feeling sad and lonely. The Mayo Clinic states that, as her close friend, you have the unique ability to help her through this emotional trauma.
Girl Time
Spending time surrounded by girls helps your friend heal after a breakup. In a study published in "Journal of Social and Personal Relationships," authors Heather R. Walen and Margie E. Lachman concluded that women were able to provide each other more support during strained relationships than men. Invite a group of your closest girlfriends over for supper or wine and cheese. If you prefer, go out for a girls' night on the town and dance away the negative feelings.
Encourage Exercise
Exercise, according to the Mayo Clinic, can boost a person's mood thanks to the release of endorphins. Because your girlfriend likely feels sad after her breakup, exercise may help her. Instead of sitting around and crying about the loss of her relationship, she may benefit from a long walk or hike with you. Sign up for a group fitness class, such as Zumba or spinning, and, as an added bonus, socialize with others in the class. Consider a women's-only class if your girlfriend is put off by men so close to her breakup.
Be Supportive -- Lend an Ear
Listening to your girlfriend vent about her feelings allows her to express them to someone she trusts. Women, more than men, need to verbalize their feelings to validate them and move forward. Make an extra effort to call, text or email your girlfriend after her breakup. Remind her that you are there for her but don't force her to talk about the breakup with you if she isn't ready. The point is to give her the opportunity if she needs to process her thoughts and feelings.
Additional Considerations
As you help your girlfriend deal with the breakup, there are additional things to keep in mind. Avoid bashing her ex-boyfriend, even if you want to do so. Instead, stay positive and focus on the benefits of being single, such as having more time for herself and spending more girl time with you. In addition, if you notice that she is having difficulty getting over the breakup, it's your job to tell her that you are worried about her intense reaction. Suggest she seek professional help from a counselor or psychologist so the feelings don't get out of hand.

This one was a tough choice...
But in the end, I had to go with the future Pirate King. Zoro would understand. ;)
Monkey D. Luffy
Roronoa Zoro
That vs. AMV still makes me shiver...nice job Urouge! Excellent choice for including all the opponents they defeated to the final.
On the current match all I can say is they both deserve to be here and deserve to win, since they fought some really hard opponents on the way and prevailed, sometimes by a hair-width. Also, they are both awesome characters and they are the two most popular characters according to every SJ poll, so it's no surprise they made it this far.
Finally, to quote a lot of you from previous matches (just changing the names a bit):
VOTE ZORO...in order to make this match interesting. We all know Luffy's going to win this anyway!
As one of the main people to flaunt the "pimp" jokes, I can safely say Al was completely and totally worn out the pimp thing. No, she wore it out, ran it over with a truck, shot it, urinated on it, then fed it to blind, rabid pitbulls with mental disorders.
Well, time for me to go to bed -- *yawns*-- we Zoro fans need our sleep.
over-analyzing ..."
......-- Tool (from Lateralus)
Nah, I didn't say that.Nami was the only person he thought of after his crew left.
This was special case. He ran and ran and ran, and the moment when Nami vanished appeared in his mind. Not because he needed a boat, medicine, food or direction...-Nami is the only one Luffy think about when he is running in loneliness on Amazone Lily.
Of coure when he need a boat, he won't think about Sanji. But while running, why not somebody else, but Nami?

NO Devil Fruit
NO Devil Fruit
NO Devil Fruit
NO Devil Fruit
no campaign can convince me, yet..
I love that Zoro and the south bird video
How did this topic turn into shipping crap?! Is this final really that boring?!
Zoro doesn't stand a chance, this should have been Luffy vs Buggy. Though this really is only slightly less epic.
I'll just help the campaign XDDDD
I'll vote tomorrow LOL
A VOTE FOR ZORO IS A VOTE FOR GAOMON (Go Nakapan sing you hear out!)
GO GAOMON I mean... GO ZORO!
Zoro just wants to be the strongest swordswoman in the world. Thanks to Ivankov, that dream can finally come true, and it'll be all good.
(His childhood friend was limited by the fact that eventually, sheer testosterome and muscle growth would allow Zoro to surpass her, as would any determined male fighter. SO her goal involved not only being the greatest swordman, but being so DESPITE being female and lacking the sheer muscle. Zoro lacks this... handicap, and so he can never quite achieve her dream properly for her.
Unless of course, he becomes the greatest swordsWOMAN in the world. So obviously, that is his true goal.
To support Viz hosting all Jump manga for FREE and day of release, Arlong Park will now support the official release.
Official chapter discussions now start Sundays at Noon, EST.
Please do not post threads when scan sites release their version, and just discuss those releases in the spoiler thread.
Vote for the greatest COMEBACK EVER !!!
Vote for NO DEVIl FRUIT !!!
Vote for Zoro !!!
Most predictable final match ever :(
If this is it, then I won't betray the official polling's result. Vote Luffy.

If you were to ask me where I thought Educating Earthlings was going to be when I started, I would have never guessed I would be talking about Human Design, the energy of the Universe or offering wellness coaching programs!!
I started Educating Earthlings with the simple intention of holding myself more accountable as a vegan newbie and sharing my vegan recipes as I taught myself all about a plant-based diet and vegan chef skills. It's grown to be so much more than just recipes and vegan tips over the past two years and I'm so grateful for all the opportunities that have come my way.
I hear a lot of other vegans talk about their experience with making this lifestyle change. The major theme I come across is that going vegan was like the gateway to so much more! Some go in the direction of health and others go in the direction of spirituality – and some both!
I've always been a health nut and love how I feel when I take care of my body, but when I started to connect my spirituality with wellness it made a huge shift in my quality of life. Wellness is so much more than just taking care of your body wholesome nutrition. I love to say, "nutrition isn't everything, but it's the first thing." When you start to take care of your body, you create room for your mind and your soul to heal and thrive.
When I discovered Human Design it was like my whole world opened up. I feel like I always knew it was a thing but I had no idea how to explain it, let alone put it into practice. If you don't know what Human Design is, keep on reading and I'll teach you all about it!
Human Design Basics
Human Design is all about individuality and differentiation. Each and every one of us has unique energy design, just like we all have a unique DNA makeup. We all came to this life with a purpose. We came to learn, correct karmas, and share our gifts.
Human Design was created (more like discovered) by a man named Ra Ah Ruhu who 'downloaded' this concept through an eight day meditation. It adopts many different existing energetic theories including the Kabala, the Chinese I'ching, Astrology, and the Chakra System.
To view your chart for free, head over to mybodygraph.com and plug in your birth info. Make sure to confirm your birth time because the portal can change from one minute to the next and can make a major difference in your chart!
There are 9 energy centers, which mirror the Chakra System, that determine your design type and so much more about how and why you are the way you are. Each energy center that is undefined (aka: not filled in or the color white) is a center that is able to easily take in energy around you. This can be a gift, but it can also mean that you can be easily conditioned by those outside energies in that center.
From the moment we were born, we have been conditioned by outside forces (i.e. our parents, siblings, friends, peers, the media) to be a certain way. Human Design is also about de-conditioning ourselves to let our pure unique energy shine through. When we de-condition and are able to unveil our unique energy design, we come into alignment with who we are meant to be. We call this living by your design.
The deconditioning process is as easy as you make it. Some will tell you that in order to reach your higher self or your true self, you must go through and face all your tramas and that it will take more than 7 years of work to do so. I'm here to tell you that it doesn't have to be that hard! You can decondition yourself right now just by learning about your unique energy makeup and living the way you were designed to live.
Design Types
There are 4 different design types that can tell us so much about ourselves. Your design type is determined by the energy centers that are defined (or undefined). This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to your Human Design chart, but it's also the first thing you should look at to start living by your design.
"The Life Force"
If you're a generator (pure or manifesting), you'll see that your sacral or 'gut' energy center is defined. This is the life force of the Universe which also gives you your own little source of energy right inside of you. In order to harness your energy, you must be doing what you love.
As an energy being, you will wake up each morning fresh with a full tank – as long as you are living by your design. When you are living your design, there is nothing more attractive! Your aura is meant to be open and inviting. You breathe life into the room and others love to be around you.
You are designed to respond to anything and everything that lights you up before you do. Some people call generators the worker bees of society, but I don't like that. You (any anyone else for that matter) aren't meant to work your butt off! You are here to do what you love and show others the possibilities that this life can offer us.
Manifesting-generators have a little extra splash of energy. If you're a man-gen, you'll have your throat center defined, giving you the ability to put things into the world without having to rely on others.
Since you're a generator first, you are still designed to respond to what lights you up. The manifesting side of you will want to go and do right away – and you have the power! But before to take action, wait to respond to what your gut is saying to make sure you are truly lit up. You are here to what you love and bring new possibilities to life!
"The Leaders"
If you're a manifestor, you will see that your throat center is defined without having your sacral / gut center defined. This means that you don't have to wait to respond to your gut when getting after something new. You are powerful enough to initiate and act without any help from outside forces.
You are designed to inform those around you before you lead. This will create a sacred bond of trust with those who agree with you, and don't worry is not everyone agrees with you. You're aura is closed and repels others who don't agree with you so you are always surrounded by your tribe.
"The Guide"
If you're a projector, you will see a lot of openness in your chart. You are much different from generators and manifestors because you were not placed on this earth to be a doer. You are here to help others manage their energy and recognize their potential.
You are a non-energy being. This means that you do not wake up with a full tank like generators do. You are able to borrow energy from those around you (especially the generators) and use it while you guide.Your aura is penetrating and is able to see into the other person clearly. Others are able to be themselves around you and will look to your for guidance, so long as you are living by your design.
You are designed to wait for the invitation before you guide others. When you try to impose on the path of those who are not ready for your guidance you will feel resistance and it will be wasted energy. While you wait for the invitation from others, dive into anything and everything that you are passionate about. Educate yourself and become an expert in what you love so you can guide others to do the same.
"The Chameleon"
You have no energy centers filled in. You are such a unique being of energy because you make up about 1% of the population. With all that openness in your chart you might be subject to conditioning more than the rest of us, but when you are able to live by your design the openness can be such a gift.
You are able to absorb and reflect the energy around you. Your gift is to be able to take in the energy of your partner, family, friends, tribe and world around you and share what is happening. You are able to feel and experience what others feel and experience. Your aura is protective to your openness and reflective to those around you. Others are able to see themselves in you.
You are designed to live with patience. You must wait a full lunar cycle before making any decisions or acting on something. This takes time to practice because we live in a world where we are expected to do things right away. You are here to live your life along with the flow of the Universe and allow yourself to be surprised for all it has to offer.
There are SO many other aspects to Human Design charts besides your design type. Each and every one of us is different and have a chart that is unique to us.
Not all generators are the same. Not all projectors are the same. No one is the same! Our charts can tell us so much more about our divine energy, like:
- when, how and where to eat
- how we manifest things
- when and how to sleep
- how to make decisions
- the best relationship(s) for us
- how we feel emotions
- the best career path
- why we desire certain things
- where and how to live
the list goes on…
Are you ready to learn how to live by your design, align to your divine self, harness the power of the Universe, and manifest anything you want?
I offer one-on-one sessions for anyone who is ready to dive deeper!

Yes, "IQ and the Wealth of Nations" should be read for its benefits and insights that it provides. This book describes and explains how the wealth of a nation is directly driven by the IQ of its people. It is a great business model which is why all business majors should be required to read it. It will benefit them when implemented on their lives as well as in the business world to which they will be in.
Immigrant, running from Hispanic culture, the reason so many countries fail is because they do what feels right. Most of hispanic countries do so. The US didn't got to be where it is by being a socialist nation and most problems today have been born out of economical government intervention.
If you don't try to steer markets, they won't go berserk.
IQ and the Wealth of Nations should be required reading for any business major in college. I think it is important to understand why some nations are doing better than others and why that is. Some areas of the world know to value the education system more because the people in school will take over some day.
IQ and The Wealth of Nations is any interesting book and an interesting book to read, but there are for more important books to read. People enjoy compelling, well written books but those books are often trying to get a point across, and aren't totally current or representative of all information.
This book pretends to knowledge it does not have. For example, when it authors
do not know the average IQ of a particular country, they simply take an average
of the IQ measurements of nearby countries that do offer data. Then, they
extrapolate from this made up data to reach the conclusions that suit the thesis
they began with. Rich countries are rich because their people are smart, and
poor countries are poor because their people are not so smart. This is racist
garbage, and no one at the college level should bother to read it.
I do not believe the book, IQ and the Wealth of Nations should be required reading for business majors in college unless professors are going to point out the bias and false facts contained in the book. I do not believe the book is accurate and passing on these biases to college students would be a huge mistake.

It is called Mask White, but it is absolutely BLACK!
I've been using Kose Mask White for more than a year now. Being a mask junkie, I've tried all types of masks: peel-off, wash-off or mask sheets. But Kose Mask White is still my top choice. I'll tell you why.
#1: Extraordinary cleaning and whitening effect
The mask adheres closely with the skin and removes old keratin, dirt, sebum and impurities in the pores to reveal a clear and radiant skin. You can see the effect instantly after just one use!
#2: Eliminates dull complexion
Regular use of Mask White can eliminate dull complexion, enhance translucency and add radiance to the skin.
#3: Dries fast, all set within 15 minutes!
The mask takes about 15 minutes to dry completely before it can be removed from the skin. The whole process from applying to drying up and removing, it takes me less than half an hour. Even a busy working mother like me can afford to use this mask twice a week!
#4: Absolutely no pain when removed from skin
Even though it adheres firmly on the skin, it can be removed from the skin easily without causing any discomfort or pain. It does not irritate the skin.
#5: Refreshing fragrance and a soothing feel
The herbal extracts provide a relaxing fragrance that is so soothing and refreshing.
Kose Mask White is reasonably priced at $35 for a 75ml tube. Available at major departmental stores and selected Guardian pharmacy.
Last but not least, a word of caution for the mothers, please stay away from your toddlers when you are applying the mask white. Otherwise, they may freak out at your ridiculously black face.

In my quest of 'downloading' the 'complete' woman, i have made excessive plans to travel alone. But there is this one country that i would never go by myself solo – Greece.
Ever since i was a teenager, i've always had the idea of preserving Santorini, in particular, to be my honeymoon destination. It is to the extent that i hope i do not win any random contests that would gift me a trip to Greece before i get married (or i would be totally clueless of what to do since i am madly in love with that place)!
Alas, incapable of holding my patience for such formidable awe and admiration, i made a visit to a quaint neighborhood found by the beach; which characteristics is in every bit like Santorini's – from small white houses divided by narrow streets, flakey paper-like paint on aged bricks, the unmistakable bright blue evil eye, to random plants that lend some greens by tiny windows . . . i name this heavenly place Cintorini.

Mr. Marstrand who claims to be a financial professional with 15 years of experience in the investment bank industry, starts with the following paragraph:
"Free money with a few clicks using this Wall Street secret!" Who wouldn't want that? It's the sort of thing often claimed by options trading services. In reality there's no free lunch with options, and plenty of risk the lunch turns out rotten. So let me explain why I never trade stock options.
There are many dishonest trading services. Those claims are not unique to services who trade options. I do agree that there is no free lunch with options, but this is true for any style of investing or trading.
Mr. Marstrand continues with example of his friend "Bill" who worked for Swiss Bank Corporation. Bill had lost about $50 million of SBC's money the previous week trading stock options. Mr. Marstrand's conclusion?
He lost all that money despite him being a highly trained, full time, professional trader in the market leading bank in his business. I just want you to know that even the pros get burnt by stock options.
So? Warren Buffett has lost $4.3 billion in single day on Kraft Heinz plunge. What's the conclusion? Yes, even the pros lose money in the stock market. It's part of the game. But it has nothing to do with options. You can lose money trading stocks, ETFs, futures, commodities, options etc. Investing in a simple S&P 500 index fund would cause a 51% drawdown during the 2008 crisis. Does it mean you should stop investing in the stock market?
Here is Mr. Marstrand's next "gem":
All option strategies - even the supposedly low risk ones - have substantial risks which aren't always obvious. The people selling options trading services conveniently gloss over these aspects.
Well.. NO! This statement is simply false. Some option strategies are risky, but many of them are much safer than stocks. A strategy like collar limits your downside risk, and can be considered much safer than just holding the stock. Naked puts have higher margin of safety than stocks.
Of course if you treat options as lottery tickets, you have only yourself to blame.
And yes, SOME people who sell options trading services don't disclose the risks. But then again, if some people are dishonest, does it discredit the whole industry and the options trading in general?
Going to the next statement:
Oh, and it's a lot of work. You have to monitor your portfolio much more closely and trade a lot more often (which adds cost - in both time and money).
It could a lot of work, depending on the strategy. Some strategies require less monitoring. And yes, it's not for everyone. But that work can produce handsome returns if done properly, so many traders find it well worth it.
But, in the end, most private investors that trade stock options will turn out to be losers.
Correct. Same is true for stock investors. Most investors lose money in the stock market. It has nothing to do with the vehicle they select. It is mostly related to human psychology and human emotions.
Next gem:
Consider this. If you buy or sell options through your broker, who do you think the counterparty is? Who is taking the other side of the trade? Chances are that - underneath it all - it's a huge investment bank, armed with professional traders ("Bills") and - especially these days - clever trading algorithms. And intermediaries like your broker will take their cut as well. Who do you think is getting the "right" price? Or better than right? It surely isn't you.
This statement is wrong on so many levels I don't even know where to start.
First, professional traders or algos don't always get it right. They are wrong many many times. In fact, most funds cannot even beat the market. But the same argument can be made about stock trading as well. If you buy a stock, you bet it will go up. The professional trader of the other side of the trade bets it will go down. According to Mr. Marstrand's logic, you have no chance against those guys.
Second, with options trading, it is likely that on the other side of the trade is a market maker and not some institutional trader. Market makers are obligated to provide liquidity in the options market, and there is a good chance that they will be on the other side of the trade.
Third (and probably the most important), any options trade can be part of a more complex strategy. If you buy a call, does it necessarily mean you bet on the stock to go up? It could be part of a neutral strategy like a straddle. And the guy who is selling you the call (if it's not a market maker), could be doing it as part of a covered call strategy. At the end, you both could be making money. This is why options are NOT Zero Sum Game.
Now to the final "gem":
As Warren Buffett once said: "If you've been playing poker for half an hour and you still don't know who the patsy is, you're the patsy."
Are you seriously comparing options trading to poker Mr.Marstrand?
Options are such a wonderful tool if used properly. It offers great flexibility not only to speculate, but also to hedge, and much more.
As an example, over the past 25 years, the CBOE S&P 500 PutWrite Index (PUT) has outperformed the S&P 500 index, with lower volatility and better risk-adjusted returns. A simple strategy of writing fully collateralized naked puts on indexes, improved the sharpe ratio by over 30%.
Of course if all you do is buying some cheap OTM options as lottery tickets, you have only yourself to blame.
Twitter comments confirm that our followers know better:
One thing I do agree with Mr.Marstrand: if you want to trade options, be prepared to for a steep learning curve. As we tell our members, "learn first, trade later".
The only dangerous part of options trading is the risk-insensitive trader who buys and sells options with little or no understanding of just what can go wrong. The options, by themselves, are not dangerous tools.
It is possible to use options to speculate (gamble), but options were created as hedging, or risk-reducing, investment tools.
An alarming number of financial professionals, including stockbrokers, financial planners and journalists are in position to educate the public about the many advantages to be gained from option strategies, but fail to do so. Many public investors never bother to make the effort to learn about options once they hear negative statements from professional advisors.

I Fell Further Than I Climbed
I had already learned to appreciate the little things in between the devilish moments, fuel vapours motivating me over the next obstacle and towards the next little, pretty moment – this was different. A cumbersome weight lifted and i experienced the joy of expectation, a rare let-go in this sad world of fake promises and selfishness. It was my best 2 weeks in many years! I was high.

Meeting Customer NeedsBy Jessica Davis | Print
Desktop-as-a-Service Designed for Any Cloud ? Nutanix Frame
New CEO Thomas Richards unveils aggressive plans to push into IT services.
Building and maintaining customer relationships are essential to resellers. As Richards says: "If we had to solve an IT problem that required us to get 1,000 notebooks and asset tags, I don't look at that as a reseller, but as somebody who could solve a problem for a customer. We have been—and still are—in the solutions business, whether it's virtualization, audits or implementations."
Basically, Richards describes it as being in the position to provide whatever the customer needs. Kent State University is a prime example.
Mahon, an advocate of cloud computing, wrote an article on alternative sourcing strategies for EDUCAUSE Review Magazine this past summer. In it, he pointed out that outsourcing day-to-day IT services frees up internal IT staff to focus on more strategic work such as development.
Mahon is now talking to CDW about deepening their engagement to achieve just that. "We are looking at the managed PC environment," he said. "It's a way to drive down the total cost of ownership of providing PCs to staff.
"Today, we might purchase a computer and have someone spend a few hours configuring it. But CDW has automated the process. [The PC is] configured at the factory and automated with management integrated in the PC."
That's the kind of valuable solution Richards is promoting. "We're here to help customers take advantage of these great efficiencies, but implement them in a way that doesn't drive their organizational cost structure significantly higher," he said.

Ah, this brings me back to ramen cookoffs in college. If you skip the eggs and add some velveeta and cream cheese you'll actually get a ramen mac and cheese that's pretty good in a pinch. Great write-up man!
Thanks! Ramen is very variation friendly especially in college
