that almost sounds like a prayer Banco Espirito Santo lol
Are you holding a necklace? lol
Nice one, Thanks CVG
Fannie and Freddie should have been phased out. What a failure with very bad consequences.
She couldn't find that part. Did she ever hear of highlight pens?
This is your Congress at work, folks. scm
I got stopped out from MTU. Trailing stop
I should send a bar a soap to this hearing.
I heard the words shitty deal from this GS circus today.
GM Everyone, is this really Stuart Smalley posting?
Nice sweater, YAK. lol hehehe
This has to make the local news, when it gets moved. Plus, traffic reporters must give a heads up, before it gets moving. A helecopter coverage clip would be great to see. It would remind me of a King Kong movie.
Take care, YAK. Good luck. See you on Tues.
How high you think it could go? .01 at least?
Hey, Swabbie!. Wash Rinse and Spin. lol
Glad to be at home. Work today was very challenging. Things got worked out. Had a very frustrating moment, when someone didn't do their task right. Then I had to take charge and fix it. Nice teamwork to solve that problem.
Hopefully a very large vhs tape is found. It represents all the current spending. Put it in a very large vcr. Rewind. Will be a very long wait. Grab a couple of cases of smokes and alcohol. Wait it out. lol
Swabbie!!! No Pinks.
Not that one. It was a much smaller theatre. I wish I could find that newspaper article that I saved. It was named after Jane Addams. It even had a small picture of him acting in it.
There was a small theatre that he performed. When he started. Right in the location of a athletic club is at now. In Chicago.
On Broadway and Belmont Ave area. #36 cta bus passes there.
Nice!, Trueheart. Don't forget to get fresh batteries for your cystal ball. lol Imagine, if there is one more contract in the next couple of days? glta
Checkout this fun at a rain delay lol
That is just one option, what management could do to cut costs. Why is it so hard for them to figure it out? Imagine how their pay, would be in the future? If it increases, without new sales. DPDW would not be worth it to own. imo
That is true. He was in Third division with me. On the USS IOWA BB61. This was back in the years 1983-1986. Stationed on Norfolk, VA. you are going to fall out of your chair on this one. I have an Apple nano. Still don't know how to program it. I have used a walkman at the gym. lol
A fellow shipmate gave me a cassette of that REM record.

I could poke an eye out with my straw. That is one huge straw. lol
Go and buy yourself a Super Big Gulp. The large straw could be handy. lol
Threat of new, larger Icelandic eruption looms
Apr 20 01:44 PM US/Eastern
By CARLO PIOVANO
Associated Press Writer
REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) - For all the worldwide chaos that Iceland's volcano has already created, it may just be the opening act.
Scientists fear tremors at the Eyjafjallajokull (ay-yah-FYAH-lah-yer-kuhl) volcano could trigger an even more dangerous eruption at the nearby Katla volcano—creating a worst-case scenario for the airline industry and travelers around the globe.
A Katla eruption would be 10 times stronger and shoot higher and larger plumes of ash into the air than its smaller neighbor, which has already brought European air travel to a standstill for five days and promises severe travel delays for days more.
The two volcanos are side by side in southern Iceland, about 12 miles (20 kilometers) apart and thought to be connected by a network of magma channels.
Katla, however, is buried under ice 550 yards (500 meters) thick—the massive Myrdalsjokull glacier, one of Iceland's largest. That means it has more than twice the amount of ice that the current eruption has burned through—threatening a new and possibly longer aviation standstill across Europe.
Katla showed no signs of activity Tuesday, according to scientists who monitor it with seismic sensors, but they were still wary.
Pall Einarsson, professor of geophysics at the Institute of Earth Sciences at the University of Iceland, said one volcanic eruption sometimes causes a nearby volcano to explode, and Katla and Eyjafjallajokull have been active in tandem in the past.
In fact, the last three times that Eyjafjallajokull erupted, Katla did as well.
Katla also typically awakens every 80 years or so, and having last exploded in 1918 is now slightly overdue.
That notion is frightening for nearby villagers, who would have to quickly evacuate to avoid the flash floods that would rip down Katla's slopes. Even last week's eruption generated spectacular cascades of melted water and ice chunks the size of houses when burning gases and molten earth carved through the glacier.
Svenn Palsson, the 48-year-old mayor of the coastal village of Vik, said residents are going over evacuation plans now just in case.
With a population of 300, Vik has been covered in 3 millimeters (0.12 inches) of ash from the Eyjafjallajokull eruption, but the real concern is Katla. Residents would have two to three hours to reach the safety of a shelter if the volcano erupted and caused the ice to melt quickly.
"We have practiced and can do it in 30 minutes," Palsson said.
Other areas around the mountain, however, would have no more than 20 minutes to evacuate, he said.
Katla's substantial ice cap is a major worry because it's that mixture of melting cold water and lava that causes explosions and for ash to shoot into high altitudes. Strong winds can then carry it on over Europe.
So far there have been minor tremors at Katla, which scientists believe to be movements in the glacier ice, but the activity from Eyjafjallajokull is making measurements more difficult to read and an eruption more tricky to predict.
"It is more difficult to see inside Katla," said Kristin Vogfjord, geologist at the Icelandic Met Office.
Her team of geophysicists, based in the capital of Reykjavik, use seismometers and GPS units planted around volcanoes to monitor quakes and the swelling of the land, which can indicate magma reservoirs that are pushing up through the crust. The area around Eyjafjallajokull rose up as much as 3 inches (8 centimeters) in recent months and then contracted slightly following the latest eruption.
Vogfjord says Katla's sensitivity to eruptions at Eyjafjallajokull may have to do with pressure shifts in the Earth's crust that are caused by an eruption's magma flow.
There are no clear answers, however, and even fewer predictions about what the future may hold. Volcano eruptions, like earthquakes, are difficult to predict.
"Katla can start tomorrow or in 100 years, you don't know," said Palsson. "All we can do is be ready."

GM everyone. Feeling better.
Petra was one of the villagers in the movie. She liked Chico.
Welcome idFix. Now the SSS board have a Magnificent Seven. By the way, Petra is taking care of me. I hope that none of you don't mind. lol I am feeling better.
Odd, my health is going through a Christopher Walkens phase. lol
GM everyone. I got this fever. Been taking Bayer aspirins. Dring hot tea.
I am still here. There could be one large sale, and boom. That could be a chance for disgrunted shareholders to get out.
I just found this on Scottrade, about options that has following letters being cancelled.
As part of an industry-wide change by the Options Clearing Corporation, options orders only related to underlying security symbols beginning with the letters "D-I" will be cancelled after market close on April 23, 2010 as a part of the symbol consolidation process. If you are entering a Good until Cancelled or Good Till Date order for any option,
Option Symbols
The format of option symbols was created by the Options Clearing Corporation (OCC). Click here for our printable Guide to Option Symbols.
Industry Option Symbols
Options symbols are made up of 17 to 21 characters, depending on the length of the symbol representing the underlying security. Symbols are constructed as follows:
Symbol + Expiration Date (Year, Month, Day) + Call or Put + Strike Price (in dollars to 3 decimal places)
In the following example, you'll see the breakdown of an option symbol for fictional stock XYZ and how many characters are devoted to each part of the symbol:
View Graphic
OCC Option Symbol: XYZ 100320C00027500
XYZ - Symbol (up to 6 characters)
10 - Year (2 characters)
03 - Month (2 characters)
20 - Day (2 characters)
C - Call/Put (C or P)
00027 - Strike Dollar (5 characters)
500 - Strike Decimal (3 characters)
This symbology applies to equity options, yield-based options, short-dated options, exchange-listed flexible (Flex) options and Long-Term Equity Anticipation Securities (LEAPS).
Option Symbols at Scottrade
To keep things simple, the option symbols you see on our trading tools, confirmations and statements, transaction history, watch lists and alerts are shorter and easier to read than the complete OCC symbols.
Given the same example as above, a call contract for XYZ with a strike price of $27.50 and an expiration of March 20, 2010, you will see the following symbol used by Scottrade:
View Graphic
Scottrade Symbol: XYZ 27.50 MAR 10 C
XYZ - Symbol
27.50 - Strike Price
MAR - Month
10 - Year
C - Call/Put
On your Positions page, you'll see this symbol along with a more detailed description: CALL-XYZ CORP MAR 27.500 03/20/2010. Clearer symbols and detailed descriptions are included to help you better track your options positions.
You'll see the simple Scottrade options symbols on our trading tools, confirmations & statements, transaction history, watch lists and alerts. This will be paired with the OCC symbol on your confirmations, statements and transaction history. You will see only the OCC symbol used on your tax statements.
Consolidation
Currently, many option contract root symbols are different than the ticker symbol of the underlying security. For example, fictional symbol XYZ might have several option symbols designating different contracts issued by the company (XYQ, XYA, XYY, etc.). The OCC has initiated a process called consolidation to eliminate multiple symbols and make all option symbols match the ticker symbol of the underlying.
Symbols will be consolidated from March to May 2010 and will be taken in groups designated by the OCC. Other than a small group of special symbols that will be consolidated first, symbol groups are alphabetized by the first letter of the underlying security. Consolidation occurs after market close, and dates are as follows:
March 12 - Symbols ACAS, AUX, CMCSA, F, INTC, MNX, OIH, SPWRB, VIAB, VZ, XDN, XLE
April 9 - Symbols beginning with "A" to "C"
April 23 - Symbols "D" to "I"
May 7 - Symbols "J" to "R"
May 14 - Symbols "S" to "Z"
On the consolidation date for a given symbol, ALL open options orders for that symbol will be cancelled and may be re-entered once consolidation is complete. Even if a particular option root symbol is already the same as the underlying, the option order will be cancelled on the OCC consolidation date for the underlying symbol.
If you have questions about option symbols or the consolidation process, please contact your branch office.

I just think that all of these wrong economic policies are done in purpose. More destruction of the middle class. To lead to a society of serfs and the few very rich. imo
If these officers keep raising their compensation. Even, without new revenues coming in. That would really concern me. imo
Thank you, eastCoastCdn. Jessica Alba has not appeared on a instructional video. lol
