Vaccinium elliottii (Elliott's blueberry) is a species of Vaccinium in the blueberry group (Vaccinium sect. Cyanococcus). It is native to the southeastern and south-central United States, from southeastern Virginia south to Florida, and west to Arkansas and Texas.
Vaccinium elliottii is a deciduous shrub 2-4m (6.6-13.1ft) tall, with small, simple ovoid-acute leaves 15-30mm (0.59-1.18in) long with a finely serrated margin. The flowers are pale pink, bell-shaped, 6-8mm long, opening in the early spring before the new leaves appear.
The fruit is an edible berry 5-8mm diameter. There are two variants one having tart shiny blue black berries and the other sweeter type having a whitish waxy bloom over the otherwise blue black berries; they ripen from late spring (in Florida) through summer (in Arkansas and Virginia).
Vaccinium elliottii produces a particularly large yield of somewhat sour berries. It is popular for late-season fruit.

'Super Freak' Rick James finally gets a doc that takes his music seriously
'Bitchin' on Showtime details his famous line-stepping – and how he expanded the audience for R&B
Up Next From Culture

Kerry Gordy wants to set the record straight about his friend and former client, who also happens to be one of music's most habitual line-stepping hellraisers. In the new documentary Bitchin': The Sound and Fury of Rick James, the late funk god's longtime manager tells a story of how James, incensed by sluggish sales of his 1982 album Throwin' Down, barged into the offices of Motown president Jay Lasker and, um, forcefully demanded action.
James reportedly snorted cocaine off a table, jumped on the label head's desk, and shoved his crotch in the executive's face. "Sell my god damn album!" he screamed, leaving behind a copy of his next release.
"Rick was Rick," said Gordy, whose father is Motown Records founder Berry Gordy. At the time, Kerry Gordy was an executive at the label's artists and repertoire department and later managed James. "But he didn't whip out his privates in anyone's face. I've gotten a lot of phone calls about that one."
Several outlets, including The Undefeated, exaggerated Kerry's recounting of the anecdote in the doc, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in mid-June and premieres on Showtime on Sept. 4. With James, it's easy to get lost in the fog of the off-the-rails antics famously memorialized by his riotous appearance on the Chappelle's Show skit Charlie Murphy's True Hollywood Stories.
Comedian-actor Eddie Murphy's older brother recounted a wild night on the town in the mid-'80s with the drug-fueled performer — hilariously played by Chappelle wearing both a wig mirroring James' trademark African braids and his towering boots. An out-of-control James sucker-punched Murphy, following up with his now-famous catchphrase: "I'm Rick James, b—-!" In the skit, the real James offered a deadpan summation for his reckless behavior: "Cocaine is a hell of a drug."
In Bitchin': The Sound and Fury of Rick James , director Sacha Jenkins made it a point to add substance to James' hedonistic image.
Mark Weiss/Showtime
Born James Johnson Jr., the Buffalo, New York, native was raised by a single mother who ran numbers for the Italian mob, and grew up to become the biggest star at Motown Records for a time. His 1981 Street Songs went triple platinum at a time when the music business was struggling to move units. The album's success and its timing put James temporarily in the same company as the label's immortals: Smokey Robinson, The Supremes, The Temptations, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder and The Jackson 5.
But James had even more ambitious plans. He co-signed and produced blue-eyed soul talent Teena Marie, and her popularity in the 'hood propelled her to two gold albums: It Must Be Magic in 1981 and Starchild in 1984. He disrupted the music business' racial hierarchy, selling out multiple nights at 20,000-seat venues such as The Forum in Los Angeles and Madison Square Garden in New York, a rarity for a hardcore R&B act at that time.
But just months after his unlikely comeback in 2004, James died of heart failure at 56, the result of decades of hard living. A few weeks before his spirit ascended (or descended, depending on whom you ask), James told me just how out of control it got in an interview for King magazine.
"I could have brought Monte Carlo as much as I've snorted," said James. "I've smoked half of Paris and most of Russia. And I've shot up Puerto Rico and drank up Mexico. I [went through] five yachts, three planes, 17 cars, four mansions, any [woman] that I wanted, and had $30 million in the bank. People were disgusted with the way I lived. Let's talk real. I was a dumb motherf—er."
Which is why there's little surprise that the stories detailing James' over-the-top reputation have dominated much of the press coverage of Bitchin'. The orgies, drugs and other excesses of stardom came close to ending his story almost before it began, putting James in the hospital in late 1979 when he nearly died of hepatitis. Watching Bitchin', it's clear that director Sacha Jenkins (who was nominated for an Emmy as a writer on 2019's Wu-Tang Clan: Of Mics and Men) made it a point to add substance to James' hedonistic image. Indeed, the documentary does something that has rarely been attempted before on the subject of James: It takes him seriously as a musical visionary.
In the film, Universal Music Enterprise A&R vice president Harry Weinger breaks down some of James' most celebrated work as well as lesser-known cuts such as "It's My Time," a 1966 folk-rock song released by one of James' earlier bands, the Mynah Birds (which also featured soon-to-be superstar Neil Young). The disco fake-out "You And I," from James' infectious 1978 debut album for Motown, kicks off with a Saturday Night Fever-ish intro, only to abruptly flip into high-powered funk.
"Super Freak," James' signature ode to "a very kinky girl/ the kind you don't take home to mother," gets a well-deserved dissection as well, highlighting just how trippy it was to hear a new wave keyboard riff over R&B production in 1981. The song was given a second life when MC Hammer sampled "Super Freak" for his 1990 radio hit "U Can't Touch This," pushing the dancing rapper's Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em album to nearly 20 million in sales worldwide.
How lucrative were those publishing checks? According to James, the deal with Hammer was somewhere around 80-20%. The King of Punk Funk claimed to have received 80.
Then there's "In My House," a midtempo cut James wrote and produced for his girl group, Mary Jane Girls. In the film, Weinger plays a demo version of James singing the sensual come-on, which became a surprise crossover pop hit in the fall of '85.
James was also a fierce industry activist. When MTV refused to play the video for "Super Freak," he charged the cable network with "taking Black people back 400 years." He and other Black acts didn't buy MTV's claims that R&B didn't fit into its album-oriented rock format. Not when the white duo Daryl Hall and John Oates was getting endless play with a Black radio favorite like "I Can't Go For That."
James accused MTV of "blatant racism." But in an interview with ABC's Nightline, he complained that "I'm a crusader without an army. All these Black artists claim they're behind me, but when it's time to make a public statement, you can't find them … they're going to let me do all the rapping and get into trouble and then they'll reap the benefits."
James' comments turned out to be prophetic. He watched bitterly as Prince, the opening act for his Fire It Up tour (their bonkers rivalry is the stuff of legend), and the future King of Pop Michael Jackson got their respective videos for "1999" and "Billie Jean" played on MTV in 1982.
Prince in his time needs to be seen now
Andre Harrell was hip-hop's blackest record man
How Bill Withers, soul music's quiet man, became a sampling favorite for R&B and hip-hop
Where did the love go? In today's black pop music, love songs are harder to find
How Verzuz is bridging the musical generation gap
By the next decade, James was becoming known more for increasingly disturbing incidents than his music. In 1991, he and his girlfriend Tanya Hijazi were arrested for imprisoning and torturing one woman with a hot crack pipe for refusing to take part in group sex during what was described as a marathon drug binge. He spent eight months at the California Rehabilitation Center before being sentenced to five years, four months in prison.
James maintained he was railroaded by the courts, but admitted he was in dire need of help. "The world knows I'm a addict, a junkie," he told me.
This was a far cry from the young artist who, after scoring a staff songwriting job at Motown, hit the big time with his 1978 gold debut Come Get It! In the documentary, rare photos of his World's Greatest Funk Festival performance in front of more than 100,000 fans at the Los Angeles Coliseum in 1979 offered a glimpse of James' future as a headliner who would command $500,000 per show just months later.
When James was released from prison on Aug. 21, 1996, Gordy found a mature father who was seemingly content with raising his 11-year-old son. It looked like the humbled bad boy had finally cleaned up his act. "And you know what happened? My phone stopped ringing," said Gordy, who today helps clients such as Robinson, Shanice and Teddy Riley in copyright termination cases. "Rick had created this super freak image, so people weren't interested in a clean Rick James."
What the public really wanted was the man who years later defiantly told the world, "I'm Rick James, b—-."
After Chappelle's Show, James was once again a wanted man … but not entirely on his own terms. He quickly capitalized on the public's renewed interest with a sold-out club tour with Marie, fielded an onslaught of media requests and collaborated with hip-hop stars such as Busta Rhymes.
James' show-stealing appearance at the 2004 BET Awards captured the complexity of his comeback. After appearing as a presenter, the singer commandeered the mic and proclaimed, "And for the girl backstage … to make it perfectly clear, never mind who you thought I was. I'm Rick James, b—-!" The celebrity-packed audience roared in approval. James and Marie later gave a surprise performance of his quiet storm duet "Fire and Desire," which was met with a standing ovation. Never mind that the performer, who had suffered a stroke in 1998, was pitchy. Those in attendance were happy to see him in all his middle-finger-waving glory.
"It was a lesson to me in branding," Gordy said. "You have to understand that the brand is not you. And I think that was Rick's biggest mistake. Rick James was never the same as James Johnson."
The original version of this story mistakenly attributed a story to Kerry Gordy that James pulled out his penis in a confrontation with the president of Motown. In the documentary, Gordy says that James shoved his crotch in the executive's face. Gordy said in a later interview that no genitals were exposed during that argument.

I'm sure someone could take that post and try to use it to against me. I'm sure I have a lot of other bad jokes out there that are similar. One of the things I do the most in real life and online is pretend to be the guy who thinks everyone is in love with him. I only do this with people who know me and know that I am the exact opposite of that guy(but everyone really is in love with me). This has probably resulted in a lot of bad jokes that, taken out of context, could be the types of old posts people are digging up to make people look bad online. I'm not really worried about it. I'm a nobody. No one will waste time trying to make me look bad. I can do that without help. I just thought it was interesting to see that post while seeing the Twitter situation.
Really good point. Who knows what stupid comment anyone makes that can be used against you. Too much info…….
Truly, context is so important. Anything can be made to mean something else if taken out of context. I'm pretty sure if someone looked at old posts from me, though, they'd find nothing of interest.
…There will always be someone to take something wrong if they look hard enough. *ALWAYS* The good news is that for every one of those people there are just as many who barely notice if you're even breathing or not! 😂😂😂 And that one I know for certain! I'm always reminded of the quote that says •you can lay down for people to walk on you and they will complain you aren't laying flat enough• Being kind is the best we can do!
I would hate to have my character in total judged not only by any bad jokes I might have made or awful things I've said during the nearly 60 years I've been around but also by some of the things I did decades ago before I got sober at 31 and closer to whatever level of emotional and spiritual health I'm at now.
I've owned my wrongs and done my best to make my amends and not repeat those wrongs, and I'm honest today about my past with anyone whose business it is (which would be everyone, if I was running for or holding office.) But I'm not the person I was even 20 years ago and I don't think I'd particularly like him. That said, when people act today, including lying about or trying to cover up their past conduct, that's showing who they are today, not in the past.


Extract of sample "I am not sure about the subject that i used, but you have to put the right subject for each"
Download file to see previous pages This comes in the wake of different cases around the nation where officers are seen to manhandle or mistreat people from minority groups, with some even leading to the death of the said individuals (Schmidt 1).
The issue of hate crimes has been a topic that is often discussed in hushed tones in various areas in the United States. In yet another different online article, The Guardian dated 10 Feb. 2015, three individuals were sentenced to prison for alleged hate crimes that led to the death of one James Craig Anderson. In the wake of these allegations, it later emerged that a group of white people would go to Jackson to pester, harass, and assault black people. Others were waiting sentencing stemming from the same hate crimes and conspiracy to do the same against nonwhites (AP 1).
After a series of attacks by both white police officers and civilians, it has become necessary for major newspapers around the nation to highlight what is happening, and what should be done about it. It is clear that race is still an issue that most people are battling with, and with the rising number of cases, the attitude and mentality of everyone involved needs to change. This is for the betterment of society and everyone involved in making it prosper. It is my belief that whenever minority groups hear of such cases, there is bound to be traces of anger, bitterness, and resentment towards the other race, especially when perpetrators are not brought to book. It is about time people realize that society is made up of all races, and not just the whites.

Unrest Review
First Released Jul 23, 2014
Against the grain.
By Cameron Woolsey on July 22, 2014 at 3:33PM PDT
In many games where conversational choices dictate plot progression, success is often guided by a system of modern Western morality. Choosing the noble response sends you on a path toward "good," while the opposite is clearly "bad." Sometimes there is a moral gray area, but ultimately, the games are typically designed around the binary concept of good and evil. Unrest, however, steps away from such tradition. Challenging the ancient and uncompromising social barriers of Unrest can yield dire consequences: putting your family in peril, shaking a community apart, or much worse. While Unrest struggles to stay consistent in its message, the lives of its damaged, refreshingly human characters stayed in my mind for many days after the credits rolled.
Against the backdrop of an ancient India rooted in both myth and history, you guide several people as they struggle to survive in Bhimra. Once a thriving city, previously considered the mightiest of all, Bhimra is choked by drought and bridled by poverty, disease, and hatred. The game's unconventional cast members stand as grim reflections of Unrest's dismal world. This point-and-click adventure game is devoid of the cleft-chinned adventurer who approaches danger with a charming quip--or a crack of a whip, when charisma won't do the trick.
Talking to everyone you meet can open new quest options.
Instead, you play as individuals straddling the social divide of India's rigid caste system. They include a peasant girl, betrothed against her will; a priest who bows to new masters for the sake of his family; a mercenary captain, barely keeping the city from tearing itself apart; and a princess, fallen from grace, fighting for survival in the slums. The emotional impact of their stories hits deep. It's hard not to feel sympathy for a young girl whose world was once adorned with flowing drapes, clean clothes, and rich food. This same girl now finds herself filthy, starved on the streets, and standing over a mutilated corpse, contemplating whether she should walk away and save her dwindling pride, or soil her hands with the victim's blood in hopes that a pocket yields a mere crust of bread. Desperation is prevalent, and in Unrest, living to see another day is the greatest victory.
Most of your time is spent in conversations, where your replies shape your fate for good or ill, and discourse is rarely straightforward; Unrest is not a game that provides easy answers to complicated issues. Instead, you are rewarded for your ability to intelligently weave your way through conversations, suppressing any penchant for a brazen response. Yielding to the social laws is hardly virtuous, but it could keep you breathing.
Unrest stars a cast of unconventional characters.
In conversations, characters acknowledge you in three colored bars representing friendship, respect, and fear. That acknowledgment is important in choosing the right person to strike up a conversation with in order to pursue your goals. In one event, a town guard with little respect for your plight shows a comparable amount of empathy for your hunger pangs, refusing you access to a temple that hands out food. A guard in another story, however, can be coerced to step aside if you latch onto his fear and agree to help appease his crippling gambling debt. But not all characters welcome discourse. The reptilian naga, for example, are often blamed for Bhimra's condition, and therefore show no love toward humans. Most interactions with these creatures in the slums involve death threats.
In Unrest, failing in a storyline is worse than the end of a quest; it could mean the death of a character. You might believe that decisions you make are the correct ones--like I did many times. But Unrest is not like games such as Mass Effect or Dragon Age, and assuming the sensibilities of such games could leave you staring down an executioner's blade. As the story draws to a close, the game tells you how your character managed after leaving your care. My first experience in receiving this report card of my actions was a gut punch--despite my best efforts, my character didn't survive. What had I done wrong? I did everything that came natural to me, and so I assumed I would be kindly rewarded. Unrest's cold pragmatism was sobering, and such lessons linger as the game progresses.
Most of your time is spent in conversations, where your replies shape your fate for good or ill, and discourse is rarely straightforward.
Unrest requires much readiing, both in and out of conversations. In games with so much unvoiced conversation, reading several paragraphs with each character interaction comes with the territory. But the game also provides detailed profiles on the people the character knows personally, as well as descriptions and the history of items in your inventory. The game's own exposition, coupled with books and scrolls containing Bhimra lore, has you perusing pages and pages of information. It gets exhausting, and I found that I needed to take occasional breaks to rest my eyes and stave off boredom.
Unrest isn't free of concerns, the most damning of which is its tendency to hinder immersion. The vibrant hand-painted environments are far too cheerful for the theme. Bright splashes of colors and hand-illustrated designs are a jarring juxtaposition to Unrest's somber motif, and undercut the overall impact of the stark, poignant world. There are also technical issues, which range from crashing to desktop following one of Unrest's many loading screens to odd pathfinding problems in which characters oscillate along their path or get stuck on corners. During conversations, making choices drops the menu back to the gameplay screen for a split second, which is distracting to the point of aggravation.
In Unrest, failing in a storyline is worse than the end of a quest; it could mean the death of a character.
With different ways to approach situations, Unrest encourages multiple playthroughs. Unfortunately, in replaying the game, I found myself disappointed by how completed stories affect the overall plot. Unrest claims that characters, left alive or otherwise, blend naturally into the game's narrative after their tales are finished. However, only two individuals were ever mentioned, one of them just in a passing comment. In reality, the characters' plights and their impact on the plot are superficial, existing merely to give you the impression that their lives changed something.
But I found myself most disappointed in the game's central story. Out of the four playable characters, there is one whose placement in the narrative is an anomaly; she experiences the hardships of her world, but no matter your influence on it, you cannot alter her course. I had even tried replaying certain sections in an effort to sabotage the final sequence of events, choosing options that I felt could have affected her path, but to no avail. Unrest ultimately opts for what is almost a fairy-tale-like conclusion, which goes against the messages that paved the way.
You can't make everyone happy, especially the desperate.
At the end of her journey, the character ends up in a situation similar to the one that started it; the ending, uninspired, rang hollow. After I completed Unrest, I spent some time contemplating the circular logic behind the conclusion. I thought, perhaps, that the game was attempting to explain that no matter how hard we try to change our destinies, fate is carved in stone and impervious to our influence. But I could be searching for a deeper meaning where one doesn't exist. A quote by a character near the end of the game seems appropriate: "When you get lost in a happy story, all the other details and consequences are nothing, and anything becomes possible."
Despite the glaring issues, I was swept up by Unrest's unique cast, and I cared about their troubles, enough to even feel responsible if the path I led them down ended up in disaster. Though flawed, Unrest's system of cause and effect is a refreshing change from traditional conversation mechanics and deserves appreciation. In a sea of clearly defined morality systems, Unrest proves that sometimes the best waters consist of infinite shades of gray.
Emotionally broken, realistic characters
Unconventional conversation system
Visuals are incongruent with the dire theme
Some characters do little to change the plot
Uninspiring conclusion
Cameron Woolsey
Cameron Woolsey enjoys the simplicity of traditional morality systems in games, but found Unrest to be refreshing. For the purposes of this review, Cameron spent around 10 hours playing the game multiple times, completing his first run in around four and a half hours.

Q: How to pass Javascript dynamic array to d3 dimple chart I'm trying to build a chart using javascript running in the browser.  The script pulls data from AWS DynamoDB, before using dimple and d3 to construct a chart in the browser.  I am looping through the results of a database scan and adding data to the array using array.push().  The result is that the chart axes are drawn but no data points or lines appear at all.
The aim is to plot a line graph / chart with clientTimeStamp on the x axis and airQ on the y axis.
Here is the javascript code, which is placed within  tags in my simple HTML page:
//Connect to Dynamo via Cognito Unauthenticated
function getDynamoData() {
  var db, tableName, creds;
  var d3Data = [];

  creds = new AWS.CognitoIdentityCredentials({
    IdentityPoolId: "eu-west-1:xxxxxx" //place cognito Unauthenticated ID pool here
  });

  AWS.config = new AWS.Config({
    region:"eu-west-1",
    credentials: creds
  });

  db = new AWS.DynamoDB();
  tableName = "xxxxxxxx"; //insert your own table name here

  db.scan(params = {TableName: tableName}, function(err, data) {
    data = data.Items;
    //Sort the data by timestamp
    data.sort(function(a, b) {
      return parseFloat(a.clientTimeStamp.N) - parseFloat(b.clientTimeStamp.N);
    });

    data.forEach(function(item){
      d3Data.push({"timeStamp":item.clientTimeStamp.N, "airQ":item.airQ.N});
      console.log(item.airQ.N);
      console.log(item.clientTimeStamp.N);
      console.log(item.clientVer.S);
    })
  })
  drawChart(d3Data, "clientTimeStamp", "airQ");
}

// Draw the chart with dimple
function drawChart(chartData, xLabel, yLabel) {
  var svg = dimple.newSvg("#chartContainer", 800, 600);
  var chart = new dimple.chart(svg, chartData);
  chart.setBounds(60,30, 510, 305);
  chart.addCategoryAxis("x", xLabel);
  chart.addMeasureAxis("y", yLabel);
  chart.addSeries(null, dimple.plot.line);
  chart.draw();
}

getDynamoData();

A: I have found the answer to my own question:
Essentially, the call to the drawChart function must be made from within the db.scan function.   I suspect this is because 'data' is not a global variable and thus its scope is limited to the db.scan function.  After that, a couple of minor changes were required to get the date correct displayed on the x axis.
Corrected code is as follows:
//Connect to Dynamo via Cognito Unauthenticated
function getDynamoData() {
  var db, tableName, creds, data;
  var d3Data = [];

  creds = new AWS.CognitoIdentityCredentials({
    IdentityPoolId: "xxxxxxxx" //Insert correct Cognito ID pool here
  });

  AWS.config = new AWS.Config({
    region:"eu-west-1",
    credentials: creds
  });

  db = new AWS.DynamoDB();
  tableName = "xxxxxxxxx";  //Insert correct DynamoDB table name

  db.scan(params = {TableName: tableName}, function(err, data) {

    data = data.Items;
    //Sort the data by timestamp
    data.sort(function(a, b) {
      return parseFloat(a.clientTimeStamp.N) - parseFloat(b.clientTimeStamp.N);
    });

    data.forEach(function(item){
      var dateNum = Number(item.clientTimeStamp.N);
      var myDate = new Date(dateNum);
      var strDate = myDate.toISOString();
      console.log("strDate = " + strDate);
      d3Data.push({"clientTimeStamp":strDate, "airQ":item.airQ.N});
    })
    drawChart(d3Data, "clientTimeStamp", "airQ");
  })
}

// Draw the chart with dimple
function drawChart(chartData, xLabel, yLabel) {
  var iso = d3.time.format("%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%LZ");
  var svg = dimple.newSvg("#chartContainer", 800, 600);
  var chart = new dimple.chart(svg, chartData);
  chart.setBounds(60,30, 510, 305);
  var x = chart.addTimeAxis("x", xLabel,"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%LZ","%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S");
  x.timePeriod = d3.time.minutes;
  x.timeInterval = 10;
  chart.addMeasureAxis("y", yLabel);
  chart.addSeries(null, dimple.plot.line);
  chart.draw();
}

getDynamoData();

I love a great statement coat. My BFF Jessica bought an amazing leopard print coat a few seasons ago and wore it on a girls trip all over New York City. I instantly became obsessed. I think it is such a fun piece and instantly changes up an ordinary outfit. I love this splurge option from Topshop. It is a swing coat and it just so adorable, but comes with a price tag of $170.00. I also fell in love with this Steve Madden version that is almost identical and is only $69.00. Whichever version you prefer I highly recommend adding a great statement coat to your current wardrobe. Which patterns are your favorites? Happy reading!!!!

How to Earn and Use Virgin America Points – Part 1: Introduction to Virgin America Points
March 2, 2015 by Million Mile Secrets Million Mile Secrets
Virgin America is a West Coast based airline that flies to several cities in the United States and a few cities in Mexico. Their flights are concentrated along the West Coast and from their hub cities (San Francisco and Los Angeles) to the East Coast.
A lot of people like flying Virgin America since they've marketed themselves as a very "hip" brand! But most of us here care more about Virgin America points and what you can do with them.
Hip and Tech-Saavy, Virgin America Has Hashtag-Named Airplanes (#nerdbird!)
How to Earn and Use Virgin America Points
Part 1: Introduction to Virgin America Points
Part 2: Earning Virgin America Points
Part 3: Using Virgin America Points on Partners: Singapore Airlines
Part 4: Using Virgin America Points on Partners: Hawaiian Airlines
Part 5: Using Virgin America Points on Partners: Virgin Atlantic and Virgin Australia
Part 6: Using Virgin America Points on Partners: Emirates
Link: Virgin America
Link: Virgin America Elevate Frequent Flyer Program
Virgin America has a revenue-based frequent flyer program, which means that the number of points needed for a Virgin America award ticket depends on the cash price of the ticket.
This is very similar to Southwest Airlines. If the cash price of a ticket is high, the points price will be high too. However, if a seat is available with cash, it will be available with points, so you do NOT have to worry about award seats being available.
Virgin America's Route Map
How Much Is a Virgin America Point Worth?
The value of a Virgin America point varies depending on which Virgin America flight you redeem for. But 2.15 cents per point seems to be most common when redeeming points.
However, they can sometimes be higher. For example, a 1-way flight from Los Angeles to San Francisco booked about 3 weeks before the flight costs between $77 and $287 in coach.
Paid Tickets Vary in Price From $77 to $287 in Coach
If you select "Elevate Points," you see the price with points.
The Price in Virgin America Points Corresponds to the Cash Price of the Ticket
I found that Virgin America points were worth between 2.7 and 4.1 cents in this example.
Here's another example. A 1-way paid ticket from Boston to San Francisco with only 7 days notice costs between $304 and $330 in coach.
Flights Booked Closer to the Date Are More Expensive
Because of their revenue-based system, the same flights booked with Virgin America points are also more expensive.
You'll Pay More Virgin America Points Because the Cash Price Is Higher
For these flights, I found that Virgin America points were worth between 2.3 cents and 2.4 cents each.
In a lot of cases, I found 2.15 cents to be the minimum value I got out of Virgin America points. Often times, I saw slightly better values.
So to estimate the number of Virgin America points required to book a Virgin America ticket, you should multiply the cost of a paid fare by 46.5 (1 point / 2.15 cents).
Where Can You Fly on Virgin America?
While Virgin America has decent point values, they are limited in the routes they fly.
Their main hub cities are Los Angeles, New York (JFK), and San Francisco. And most of their Midwest and East Coast destinations only have flights to 1 of these 2 cities. But from there, you can connect to other cities along the West Coast.
Virgin America's Hubs Are Los Angeles, New York (JFK), and San Francisco
Because of this, Virgin America will NOT be useful for getting between cities on the East Coast like New York to Orlando, unless you fly via Los Angeles or San Francisco!. But they would be useful for flights to or from the west, like Seattle to Cancun via Los Angeles.
Here is the list of cities they serve:
Chicago (O'Hare)
Dallas (Dallas – Love Field)
Los Angeles (hub)
Loc Cabos, Mexico
New York (John F. Kennedy) (hub)
New York (LaGuardia)
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
San Francisco (hub)
Washington, DC (Dulles)
Washington, DC (National)
Virgin America flies to cities in the US and Mexico from their hubs in Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco. Their frequent flyer program is revenue-based, which means that the number of Virgin America points needed for an award seat is based on the cash price of the ticket.
On average, a Virgin America point is worth ~2.15 cents, but that can vary slightly depending on the route.
Now that you know where you can go with Virgin America, you'll learn how to earn Virgin America points in our next post!

This looks like a good article and repost it. VA is no longer severing Philadelphia.
8:50 pmMarch 2, 2015 anon
Virgin hasn't used Philadelphia airport in about 6 months, how old is the information in this post? All the screenshots were clearly taken months and months ago, it's not even Virgin America's new website design.
8:08 amMarch 2, 2015 John
Just an update, Virgin America now flies out of Dallas Love Field (no longer DFW) and they now have direct flights to SFO, LAX, LGA and DCA (and, starting at the end of April, AUS).
7:57 amMarch 2, 2015 Jim
Just a small correction: Virgin America no longer flies out of DFW – they fly out of Love Field – and the flight map is wrong too, they fly to LA – SFO – LGA – Wash (DCA) and starting May 1st Austin from DAL

Any individual or legal person wishing to contribute, to support or simply to join the activities and work of GEOPRAGMA, shall sign and respect the Charter of the Association, which sets out its objectives, its core of beliefs and its methodological approach.
GEOPRAGMA is an independent strategic Think tank that aims at the renewal and the promotion of French strategic thinking based on a realistic, non-dogmatic and ethic vision of the world.
GEOPRAGMA is an initiative of general interest in the service of the public good and of the restoration of fundamentals to preserve our country from strategic relegation.
It is a civic initiative in its essence, free from any ideological or intellectual subjection. Neither « pro » nor « anti » anything or whoever, its object is precisely to free French strategic thinking from all naïve and counterproductive biases that cripple it.
Independence, consistency, pragmatism, authority, power, influence, dialogue, respect, ethics and responsibility are its cornerstones.
The promotion of a new French leadership on a European scale and of a regained influence on the international scene.
A pragmatic geopolitical vision of the world, of the power relations, the economic, cultural and societal phenomena that run through it, and of the desirable role of France as a power of balance and mediation in this permanently unstable chessboard.
States, as sovereign political actors, must remain at the foundation of international relations and of any structuring of global governance. No constructive international dialogue is possible without respecting this cornerstone. Dialogue, cooperation, respect and trust are the key words of any progress in the optimal coexistence between States and peoples.
You can only understand the world and act on it with a long term historical, non-dogmatic, pragmatic approach loosed from all ideological taboos and in compliance with the principles laid down in the first paragraph of Article 1.
The realistic approach to international relations is obviously more fruitful and protective than the moral approach which is a cynical decoy for the promotion of pure interests of power with destabilizing and bloody consequences.
Article 2 – Members declare on their honour that they are not in the service of any power and not linked to any interest that might impair their judgment. They commit themselves to disconnect their contribution to GEOPRAGMA from any other interest.
Article 3 – Membership of GEOPRAGMA does not authorize any speaking or any use of the image of the Association within the framework of a commercial process or for personal purposes. Any planned speech invoking name, image or reputation of the Association shall be submitted to the Board and shall obtain the express authorization of the President of the Association.
Article 4 – Members declare on their honour to act in their personal actions or those of their company within the framework of the law.

On your marks! Joneses are on the run to set new world record
Jones Crisps, sponsors of the Anglesey half Marathon... Pictured are Kyle MacKenzie, Jack Robertson, Always Aim High MD Tim Lloyd and Jones Crisps Director Geraint Hughes.
An appeal has been launched for help in setting a new world record for the biggest gathering of runners named Jones.
Already more than 800 athletes have signed up for the fifth Jones Crisps Anglesey Half Marathon on Sunday March 4 – with almost 10 per cent of them called Jones.
Race organisers Always Aim High, based in Llangefni, are expecting around 2,500 runners to take part in the three races on the day: the half marathon, Ynys Mȏn 10k run and one-mile children's race.
Jones Crisps, sponsors of the Anglesey half Marathon… Pictured are Kyle MacKenzie, Jack Robertson, Always Aim High MD Tim Lloyd and Jones Crisps Director Geraint Hughes.
Together with Jones Crisps, they want to set a world record, by getting as many people with the surname Jones gathered together on the start line at Menai Bridge.
All the runners will receive a bag of Jones Crisps at the end.
Geraint Hughes from Jones Crisps said: "We've worked closely with Always Aim High for some years and it struck me at last year's Anglesey Half Marathon just how many runners with the surname Jones took part in the race and the other events on the day.
"There's already been a lot of Jones signing up for the 2018 race so we thought it would be excellent to see if we can break a world record. As far as we can tell, there has never been an attempt at a world record for a gathering of runners called Jones.
"The main race starts at 9am, so we will be gathering people together just before then – so we are encouraging people to come along to take part in it.
"Once the race starts, for the other runners, it will be a case of keeping up with the Joneses.
"We are proud to support Jones Crisps Anglesey Half Marathon and other events across Wales including the Cardiff Triathlon, Slateman and Tour de Mȏn."
The 13-mile race starts on the world famous Menai Suspension Bridge, then follows the coast road to Beaumaris Castle and back, with thousands of supporters expected to line the route.
The junior runners, split into four age categories, have a one-mile dash over the bridge and through the town ending at the main race's chequered flag.
All the adults across the finish line for the half marathon and 10k run will be handed a packet of Jones Crisps, to help them replenish their carbohydrate and salt levels after their exertions.
Jones Crisps is the only crisp company based in Wales and owned by Welsh food entrepreneurs. The crisps are made with 100% Welsh grown potatoes. Each crisp is hand cooked in high oleic sunflower oil, to produce excellent old fashioned crisps with a proper thick crunch and punchy flavours.
Always Aim High director Tim Lloyd said: "Crisps are an excellent way for runners to stoke up after a run, to help their energy levels and we know that our competitors love them.
"We've had a long partnership with Jones Crisps and we have seen an increase in people called Jones taking part.
"Last year the event saw around 2,000 runners take part, and numbers are up for the 2018 race. Already we have more than 800 entries, far ahead of this time for the last race, so we are expecting a record turnout of competitors.
"As many of those people are called Jones, it would be excellent if we can also set a world record on the day for a gathering of runners, of all ages, named Jones.
"Since we launched the event in 2013 it has been a great boost for Anglesey tourism, with a large number of people staying overnight – the growing number taking part shows that it really is on the map for serious runners.
"The course is over closed roads, so it's suitable for runners of all abilities, and through some spectacular scenery, and the feedback from runners is that it's always a lovely event to take in.
"Many of the runners are doing it to raise funds for charities close to their hearts, with thousands of pounds collected since the first half marathon in 2013.
"It's also a great day out for the supporters – I know it makes a real difference to the runners to have people lining the route, encouraging them on to their personal bests.
"Also, the team from Jones Crisps travel the route beforehand, distributing free packets of crisps, so there's even more reason for the public to get there early and support the runners."

General Hospital 2022 Forecast: Plotline Predictions
Published on January 13, 2022.
Dorathy Gass
It's a new year in the land of General Hospital (GH) with so much opportunity on the horizon. What kind of drama will 2022 bring? Will there be unexpected character returns? Will Peter finally get nailed? Will Maxie and Louise be reunited? Fans just love to speculate on storylines! As such, below are some GH plotline predictions for 2022.
12. The Truth About Louise
The truth about Louise will likely be exposed over the coming weeks. The walls are closing in on Maxie, BLQ and Chase. Tracy's in the know, and it's only a matter of time before Felicia will figure things out. There's also a good chance that Peter will overhear the truth by accident. When he finds out he's been lied to, August will snap.
11. Peter Takes Louise
Peter could find out that Bailey is Louise and snatch the baby. He's cunning, so he will easily come up with a plan to escape guards and take the child. The bad news is that he'll likely be on the run with Louise for at least a couple of weeks. The good news is that the Port Charles heroes and heroines will eventually bring Louise back home.
10. August "Passes" Away
There will probably be a showdown between Peter August and Robert, Anna and Valentin. Hopefully, the baby will be in the safe arms of Maxie at this point, but knowing GH, Louise could be in harm's way. Would Peter threaten to hurt his own child? He is Cesar Faison's son. August will likely pass away during this showdown, in a manner that will convince everyone he's gone for good. But naturally, his "passing" will leave a door open for a potential return.
9. Maxie And Austin Get Closer
It's official: Maxie likes Austin and Austin likes Maxie! They won't jump into romance right away, but they'll get closer and closer as 2022 progresses. Once the truth comes out about Louise, Austin will better understand Jones' friendship with BLQ. The only problem with the truth coming out about Bailey/Louise is that Brook Lynn will be cut off from the child she took care of as her own.
8. Time To Move On!
There may be some conflict between Maxie and BLQ when this happens. Jones will be ready to move on and bring Louise home, after Peter is out of the picture. BLQ, on the other hand, will be heartbroken. Sure, she'll be happy for Maxie and proud of herself over what she sacrificed for the baby; however, she'll miss little BLQ 2.0. She'll likely become down in the dumps, as will the rest of the Quartermaines. Although Brook Lynn will be seen in a new light amongst friends and family, some issues could arise between her and Maxie, as Jones tries to build a bond with her daughter. Louise may even be fussy with Jones. She'll miss BLQ and her old family, too. It'll be hard for all three to navigate through this. But Maxie will have Austin to lean on, and Brook Lynn will have Chase.
7. Anna And Valentin Solidify Their Romance
It's only a matter of time before Valentin and Anna become a bonafide couple. This is great news; however, Cassadine is headed down a slippery slope. Now that he knows he's officially a member of the infamous Greek family (again), with daddy Victor in the picture, he may slowly get into bad habits. Seeking revenge against BLQ is one thing that Anna won't agree with, even if the truth about Louise doesn't come out. This could place a wedge between them.
6. Victor Is A Bad Influence
Victor will become public enemy #1 in Port Charles, now that Peter's gone. He'll intimidate Laura and Drew, as well as anyone else who dares to cross paths with him. More importantly, he'll become a terrible influence on his son. Valentin's come a long way, and he'll finally have the woman of his dreams by his side. Valentin's relationship with Victor could ruin things for him.

5. Sasha Falls Off The Wagon
Considering everything she's been through and losing her baby, no one would blame Sasha if she fell off the wagon. That doesn't mean the character isn't headed for another heartbreaking storyline ahead, as she grieves the loss of her son. This isn't something a mother can just fluff off and move on from. The first half of 2022 will be a hard one for Sasha. She may even push Brando away; however, he'll be persistent, and he may help her overcome these demons. Could the summer of 2022 hold a wedding for these two?
4. Goodbye "CarSon", Hello "Sina"!
It doesn't look good for fans of #TeamCarSon right now. While Sonny's trying to keep his marriage intact, his lies and feelings for Nina are jeopardizing his relationship with Carly. Mrs. Corinthos is not taking this lightly, and the two are headed for a break. They likely won't get divorced, but it'll give Sonny an opportunity to fully explore the feelings he has for Nina. Sonny and Nina will become a thing and may even stay together for the rest of 2022.

3. Carly And… Drew?
GH has been hinting at different relationships for Drew as of late. There were slight sparks when Cain encountered Maxie; however, with her thinking about Austin as of late, this won't go anywhere. There's always Sam, but does that relationship seem too obvious? Drew's other ex is Elizabeth, but she's clearly moving forward with Finn. Could Carly navigate towards Drew as a friend, and get a little closer to him as 2022 progresses?
2. Hayden Returns To Betrayal
Some days, it feels as if Hayden could return at a moment's notice. Her name is brought up a lot! It's clear she's on her way back and should pop up sometime this year. With Liz and Finn on the cusp of making a real commitment, Barnes will likely return during a sweeps month; probably February or May. She'll come back to find her sister with her ex, acting like a mom to her daughter. She should feel warm and fuzzy about Liz taking care of Violet, but "warm and fuzzy" are the last two words that will describe Hayden's feelings about the situation. Let the games begin!
1. Lulu Awakens From Her Slumber
Lulu's awakening from her coma is another guarantee for 2022. Dante and Sam are bonding and getting along great. There's a good chance he'll pop the question this year or they could decide to officially move in together. Will Lulu awaken before Sam and Dante tie the knot? Will she stop the wedding, or will Sam and Dante say their "I do's" only to find out that Rocco's mom is back in the land of the living?

Q: TableView inside Navigation Controller: Zero Edge Insets on the Left and on the Right? I have got a TableView inside a Navigation Controller.
By default, the TableView has edge insets set on the left and on the right. That is, the content's width in the TableView is smaller than iPhone width.
My designer wants me to have the content stretched from left to right on the iPhone without any insets.
So, I tried the following code:
UIEdgeInsets inset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, -10, 0, 10);
tableView.contentInset = inset;

On the left, the content is now really at the iPhone left edge. Fine. It worked.
But on the right, no setting seems to move the content to the right.
Your help is much appreciated!
Thanks a lot.

A: The Clean Solution would be
Subclass the UITableViewCell class, and override the layoutSubViews method like the following.
And also set tableView contentInsets to zero.
mTableView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsZero;

-(void)layoutSubviews {
   [super layoutSubviews];
   self.textLabel.frame = self.contentView.bounds;
}

5 apps Android needs to catch up with the iPhone
by Martin Bryant — in Apps
Despite Apple's newly announced features in OS 4.0, Android is still head and shoulders above the iPhone when it comes to built-in features. What about the apps though?
It's fair to say that the iPhone trumps Android on both quality and quantity of apps. While Android users probably aren't that bothered about missing out on many of the iPhone's low-quality apps, there are others that Android is just crying out for.
Despite a fast growing userbase, many big-name app developers are yet to make the leap to Google's mobile OS. Here are the five apps we think Android is in desperate need of…
Okay, this is going to be a controversial one as the quality of Android's current Twitter apps is improving rapidly. However, the iPhone's Tweetie is widely regarded as the finest mix of features and elegant user experience out there.
As developer Loren Brichter is an Apple boy through and through, we wouldn't have held out much hope for Tweetie coming to Android until this week. Twitter has bought Tweetie to make it the official Twitter app for iPhone. With an official Blackberry app also now available, it's likely that Twitter will want to branch out into the Android Market too. So, why not port Tweetie? It would certainly make a lot of Android tweeters very happy indeed.
Chance of release: Slim, but expect some kind of official Twitter app on Android soon even if it's not Tweetie.
Given Android open, mutlitasking nature, it's surprising that we haven't seen an official Skype client yet. Other VoIP apps are available so it seems crazy that Skype hasn't made the leap yet.
The annoying thing is that there is an official Skype client but only for specific mobile networks. 3UK and Verizon both offer Skype-branded apps but they only work with handsets bought from those networks. We'd love an official client to appear on the Android Market, offering always-on IM and Skype In and Skype Out support to make using the most popular VoIP network around easy from an Android phone.
Chance of release: Slim if Skype maintains its 'network-specific' approach.
Amazon is taking a platform-agnostic approach with Kindle. You can download books for its Kindle device, the iPhone and the iPad so why not Android too?
Reading a book on a phone screen may not be that enjoyable but the Motorola Droid and Nexus One have bigger, brighter screens than the iPhone so it would be nice to have the choice.
Chance of release: Unlikely in the near term but as the market expands, Amazon would be crazy not to.
Bejeweled, Plants vs Zombies and other Popcap Games releases
There are plenty of games available for Android but Popcap is a well-respected brand and their big-name releases would really bring some gaming cred to the platform. Oh, and they're massively additive too – the hours we've wasted playing Bejeweled 2 don't bear thinking about.
Chance of release: In the middle of last year, an interview with Popcap's Garth Chouteau revealed that the company has plans to move onto Android. We've heard nothing since then and the silence, quite frankly, is painful!
We love Dropbox – when it comes to a drag and drop interface for getting files from computer to computer, there's nothing easier.
While it's easy to transfer files to Android and store them on the memory card, lack of access to the root file system means it's not always as easy at it should be to actually get to them unless they're music, photos or video. Dropbox would make the whole process much simpler.
Chance of release: Some good news on this one – Dropbox is definitely on the way to Android in the near future. It's just a case of waiting…

The returns on truffle orchards can vary tremendously, from excellent to ridiculously lucrative. The worst case in a well-maintained one-acre orchard is production of a minimum of 50 pounds of truffles over a three-month period. At a minimum of $300 per pound, this is $15,000 per acre per year. Current wholesale prices are a more realistic $800 per pound, or about $40,000 per acre/per year. Under ideal conditions, up to 125 pounds can be produced per year, which at $800 per pound is $100,000 per acre. The record production is 200 pounds per acre per year, and with a price that has reached $2200 per pound, this would be $440,000!
The entire above aside, we at Garland Truffles are confident that $25,000 per acre per year is a reasonable expectation.


Who can deny the satisfaction in coming up with the right words at the right time to put a rude, insulting, or otherwise unpleasant person in his or her place? For hilarious lessons in the fine art of rapier-sharp retort, pungent put-down, and ego-crushing malediction, we can turn to the master, William Shakespeare. Though more famous for romantic sonnets, Shakespeare also penned some of the most memorably vile personal appraisals, brutal jokes, and lewd, scurrilous insinuations ever to grace the English language. This decimating deck of 48 cards features fill-in-the-blank bawdiness on each front, where the sources are also cited. The completed quip, cuss, or curse is presented on the backside, a familiar target for the bard s more puerile disparagements. Contextual notes--i.e., who is abusing whom, why, and in what play--support each quotation.

I can't help but wonder what happened deep down in the earth to make this stunning stone. Pinolith is made up of magnesite (the white parts), and graphite (the gray parts). It's fitting that these stones are constituted from the same material that makes up a pencil, because the stones LOOK like an illustration. Every artist should own a little bit of pinolith!
This bold bracelet is a one-size-fits-all statement piece. The large rectangular piece of pinolith is framed in silver, with decorative cuts in the corners.
Made from oxidized (blackened) sterling silver, and rubbed with steel wool to give a satin finish.
Stone measures 1 3/8" long and 1" wide.


A new approach to the problem of managing vehicles within a personalized automated transportation system is outlined. Two alternative vehicle management strategies are suggested; each is potentially applicable to either scheduled or demand responsive systems possessing large numbers of vehicles, topologically complicated guideway networks and capacitated stations. The proposed strategies take station capacity constraints into account by guaranteeing that under normal operating conditions (i.e., no emergencies) no vehicle is ever prevented from entering its destination station because of the unavailability of a berth.

Rudolph Valentino (Castellaneta, 6. svibnja 1895. - New York, 23. kolovoza 1926.) talijanski glumac

Životopis

Najpoznatiji filmovi su mu The Sheik i The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse . Poznat je po nadimku "Latinski ljubavnik", kojeg je stekao kao jedna od najpoznatijih filmskih zvijezda 1920-ih godina i jedna od najvećih ličnosti ere nijemog filma. Valentinova smrt u dobi od 31 godinu izazvala je dotada nezapamćenu masovnu histeriju među obožavataljicama, pretvorivši ga u jednu prvih ikona Hollywooda.

Industry Group Dreams And Nightmares
The "Dreams" portfolio represents a simple industry group trend-following approach, while the "Nightmares" portfolio serves as a bottom-fishing strategy made up of the previous year's biggest losers.
For nearly three decades The Leuthold Group has tracked hypothetical portfolios composed of the previous year's industry group "Dreams" and "Nightmares."
2016's Industry Group Dream & Nightmare Portfolios
For nearly three decades The Leuthold Group has tracked its hypothetical industry group portfolios composed of the previous year's "Dreams" (best performers) and "Nightmares" (worst performers).
Annual Industry Group Dreams & Nightmares
A review of the past year's performance of "Dream" and "Nightmare" equity groups from back in 2014.
For more than a quarter century, The Leuthold Group has tracked hypothetical industry group portfolios composed of the previous year's "Dreams" (best performers) and "Nightmares" (worst performers). The former is a gauge of a simple, trend-following investment strategy, while the latter is a crude form of industry group "bottom-fishing." Sticking with tradition, the following pages detail how the 2013 Dream and Nightmare portfolios faired in 2014, and we reveal which industries qualify in the Dream and Nightmare portfolios of 2014.
The Dreams & Nightmares Of 2013
For 25 years we've tracked hypothetical industry group portfolios comprised of the previous year's "Dreams" (20 best performers) and "Nightmares" (20 worst performers).
Nightmare Portfolio Comes To Life, Beats Dream Portfolio
Some of the best and worst performers of 2011 repeated their performance in 2012.
Group Trends of 2010 Persist In 2011—Somewhat
How did 2010's "Dreams" and "Nightmares" pan out in 2011? What are 2011's hypothetical portfolios predicting for 2012?
Dreams, Nightmares & Bridesmaids: Should You Hold On To Last Year's Winners?
Of Special Interest asks "Should You Hold On To Last Year's Winners?" by examining the Dreams, Nightmares and Bridesmaid strategies. This year, our analysis expands beyond equity groups to the sector and asset class levels.
2009 Dreams And Nightmares...A Look Back At What Might Have Been
Based on loud bearish complaints about the "junk rally"—and our commentary on the Revenge-of-the-Nerds (anti-momentum) effect—it should come as no surprise that 2009 marked the most dramatic reversal of industry leadership we have seen in our twenty-plus years of tracking this work.
Even with perfect hindsight, an investor who purchased the 20 best performing groups in 2008 would have generated a 13% loss for the year. The 20 worst performing groups had an average loss of 62.5%.
A Look In The Rearview Mirror
2007's "Good, Bad, and Ugly" of The Leuthold Group research; Leuthold Group Selection (GS) Scores performance review; Weighted index vs. Un-Weighted index performance; and 2007's "Dreams & Nightmares" portfolios.
A look back at the performance one would have achieved by investing in the year's best groups and the pain felt from investing in the worst performing groups in 2006. We also examine the strategy of buying a prior year's winners and losers in anticipation of better performance the following year.
2005 Dreams And Nightmares
The year's best and worst performing groups. Buying 2004 big winners produced good 2005 performance. How will 2005 winners do in 2006?
2004 Dreams And Nightmares… A Look At What Might Have Been
It would have been a successful strategy to buy the 20 worst sectors from 2003 at the start of 2004.
This month's "Dreams & Nightmares" shows the best and worst performing equity groups in 2003. Be careful about buying 2003's big winners. A better strategy can be achieved by buying the year's biggest losers.
2002 Dreams And Nightmares….A Look At What Might Have Been
An examination is made of the previous year's leaders and laggards to see if success could have been attained by buying last years big winners (or the big losers).
2001 Dreams & Nightmares… A Look At What Might Have Been
Per client request, we examine 2001 portfolio early, in order to preview the year's winners and losers.
Dreams & Nightmares: Mid Year Update
Mid-year update how an investor would have done if they had been fortunate enough to invest in the 20 best performing industry groups (and visa versa).
A look at "what might have been".
One would not expect to generate better than average returns by chasing last year's big winners. But this simplistic approach did produce better than average results in 1999, as it usually has over the last eleven years.
1995 Dreams and Nightmares...A Look at What Might Have Been
With perfect hindsight, one could have produced a gain of almost 70% by investing in 1995's 25 biggest institutional stock winners.
1994 Dreams And Nightmares-A Look At What Might Have Been
Among institutional favorite type stocks, the Dream Individual Stock Portfolio was up 23.6%, while the Nightmare Portfolio was down 20.7%
Dreams and Nightmares - A Look at What Might Have Ben
In 1993, it surprisingly paid off to stick with last year's big winners and avoid 1992's big losers.

Dreams & Nightmares
1984's Institutional "dream" portfolio made up of the twenty best performing large cap stock groups was up 20% (excluding dividends) while the aggressive "dream" portfolio was up 33%. The "nightmare" portfolio, constructed of the twenty worst groups was down 49%. See? Things could have been worse…
Each January we present for the preceding year what would have been, from a group standpoint, the perfect portfolios (Institutional and Aggressive). In 1983 the dream Institutional portfolio was up 56%, the Aggressive up 70%. The worst possible portfolio for 1983 was down 18%. Take a look and see where you should have and shouldn't have been.
1982's "Dream" and "Nightmare" Portfolios
If your stock group analysis was flawless, a 1982 gain of 85% was possible, even beating Phil Hempleman. If it was hopeless, a loss of 41% was possible. This annual feature had some weird twists this time.
1981's Dreams and Nightmares
Does it pay to buy last year's winners? Not usually. 1981's best and worst performers reviewed, with an update of what happened to 1980's best and worst in 1981.

So, I want to say that I'm here and ready to start all over again.
That's not entirely accurate, though. Last time I started this journey, I weighed in excess of 200 pounds. Then I lost a bunch of weight — 40 pounds, to be precise — and then I gained half of it back — crazy frustrating.
Now that I'm back in class, my schedule is such that I am going to be able to get back to working out regularly. And, now that I'm going to be getting back to the teaching assistant life, regular paychecks will ensure that my diet improves.
The big difference between this year and last year is that I'm back on my medications now. It is my hope that that won't make much of a difference. As to that, we shall see.
I'll say this: it's nice to feel like I'm getting my life back. It's also nice to be moving around again. When you spend 50 hours a week behind the wheel of a car, you don't get much of a chance to even walk. Now, I'm back to walking all over campus, taking buses and generally moving around. To be honest, it feels great.
I note that I am not the only person out here who is currently struggling with their weight loss goals. I'm also not the only one who has reached a point of saying "Enough of this crap!" (or words to that effect) and making the needed adjustments to return to progress.
To all of us, I say: Way to go!
← Hey, you, get into my car!
Definitely! We can do this.
