Speaking of tail,
King and sockeye were both on sale at the grocer today so I bought a tail of each, a little compare and contrast. Fresh ground black pepper, rosemary from the garden, drizzled in olive oil, grilled to perfection over charcoal and alder chips...WOW! I've got an eagle doing circles over the house now looking for some skin.
Yeah Purl, you stopped posting on Allstocks right before I first showed up. Since you've been back I have learned/am learning a lot from you. Thanks

"heck was that Bob posting at 2 in the morning?"
My presumption is those boys were filing lots of complaints to have me removed from Allstocks. This may happen. I will not back down. I will be truthful at the cost of being unpopular. I will not be intimidated by masculine scare tactics, never.
I will not compromise my dignity for any reason.
Interesting my articles are being deleted in the same manner as I-Hub. Much effort is being effected to conceal truth.
This does not matter. I know truth and that is the only truth which counts.
A while back I PM'd a certain "fan" of yours...to say I thought you were a nut case, before I received the response back, I went thru and read more of your posts...I had "walked" in on an argument that you were having with someone and I relized that I didn't know the whole story..."us newbies" don't know the "famous" Purl...
I now have a deeper respect for you and I see thru some of these "cocky" posts...
I have much to learn about the stock game...and it is from people like you and yes...sorry, some of the guys around here...along with my own stupid mistakes, that I will continue to learn!
From all of those that haven't listened to you in the past...and those that won't listen in the future...thanks for trying...and thanks for caring(admit it lady you do!)
Congrats on meeting your goal!

10, the Whale is always thinking of whats around in the Sea....Whales have the ability to anticipate things, like traveling thousands of miles at Sea with no food source.
There is also fish in the Sea, or you may say Whale food...
Whale is trying to teach fish to be Whales..

"and thanks for caring(admit it lady you do!)"
I will deny this in a court law, while denying a lot of other accusations!
Rather undecided how to approach this. Not my intent to brag but this will seem so.
To validate myself, I do remind myself I have earned a lot of money for a lot of people.
Long ago, I prompted Diane (no longer here) into buying BSIC at .27 per. She made a killing on that one. However, she did not take my advice to hold. After she sold for a handsome profit, BSIC went up two dollars per share. She was swayed by amateurish men to move her money into pump and dump stocks.
Blue and his parents have made and are making excellent profits from ALMI stock, suggested at .12 per share, now around 1.75 per share with bursts up to 2.25 per share. This one, I am very proud. Blue's elderly parents bought a new BMW and paid for a three week vacation in Greece with _partial_ profits from ALMI. Both Blue and his parents still hold.
My reward is creating The Good for Blue through his elderly parents. Their family life is greatly enriched. This type of reward is, again, priceless. Money can never buy me the happiness Blue has given to me. He gives me reason to be proud.
Then there is HOM, NWD and many others I can no longer remember. I have no idea of how many people made good profits on those stocks I introduced here, just as I have no idea of how many avoided losses because of my warnings.
What this all points to is our family does not need more money. We have too much. However, we were once living in poverty, dire poverty.
My sincere feelings is my responsibility is to give to others for our having received so much, through hard work. I periodically drop in here to help others do better in the markets because I must honor our tribal ways by helping others and I want to leave behind a good legacy of being a good person.
Truth is, I do all of this for children. You have noticed I very often place strong emphasis upon the futures of children. By helping the parents, I help children.
Yes, I am firm but fair. Yes, I am very tough on people, at times. I am a teacher and always will be. I have high expectations of people and firmly thrust those expectations upon people, who will rise to whatever expectations are set, just like children in a classroom.
A problem comes about within discussions boards like this. A vast majority of participants are men, and those men are screaming *******s.
Almost always, a person must scream louder simply to be heard.
Those who know me, like you, see right through me. I wear my heart on my sleeve. However, I carry a big stick in my hand.
Your kind words, Ten, are sincerely appreciated.
Too bad boys, no more nekkid photographs of me, and I was about to finally tell where is located my photograph of me wearing only _reddi-wip_ which I told you about a hundred times.
I am wearing no more than two quarter size dabs of reddi-wip. Masculine thinking or lack of; no thinking outside the box.
All you had to do is use the address where I store all my pictures for here at Allstocks. Use the address and change the photo name to,
reddi-wip
My allstock addresses have been the same for years.
I am instructed I can no longer provide photographs of other people. I cannot provide pictures of my husband, my daughter, my Choctaw relatives, George Bush, Rush Limbaugh nor Jesus Christ.
What is the point of my spending so much time creating photographs for your enjoyment? I cannot provide them. That is the rule and I will not violate rules.
A bit of a dig, this is a direct result of men using photographs as a lame excuse to inflict injury upon me. A side effect, with their being exceptionally stupid and hateful men, your fellow gender mates have also robbed you of your enjoyment; no more fun pictures.

A criminal walks into a bank. He pulls a gun and robs the bank. He walks out. No police show up. Nothing happens.
A few days later, he returns to the bank then robs the bank again. No police, none to stop him. He gets away clean.
Next day, he robs the bank again. No sweat.
After this, he robs the bank every single day. Nothing ever happens to him.
He is enabled by lack of action. He knows nothing will happen to him so he continues to rob the bank, continues to cheat his way through life.
Same is taking place here at Allstocks just like all other boards of this type.
Tonight, the man who viciously accused me of being a child molester, with no action taken against him, tonight he decided he did like some my articles, complained, and within a couple of minutes, my articles are gone.
That men and all men who witnessed this are now enabled. They know if they do not like a person's article all they have to do is complain and the article is gone.
No actions were taken against the man for his vile accusations I am a child molester. He turns right around and has my articles, he personally does not like, immediately deleted by whomever.
Last night, the photographs. No more pictures. That man is now enabled. He knows he can complain about any one of you to have your articles removed. He is empowered.
You also witnessed a man instantly leap into insulting me, obvious childish personal insults. No action taken against him. He is enabled, he is empowered. He knows he can insult any one whenever he wants and nothing will happen.
Men are robbing the bank, daily, because they know they can, with impunity. Those men have you under their thumbs. They own you.
Not so if you are a woman. Different standards apply but none have me under their thumb.

And yes, at the end she had to extract the diploma from her PI instead of being given a champagne bash and graduation party...
even after the sob got over a half million$ worth of grants based solely on her independant research...(and still adding on) this was an unusually fortuitous cash cow in her feild.... there aren't many grants this big in insects....
she also had to fight tooth and nail to get some of her thesis published (which she did), and at which time he (IN WRITING) recused himself and demanded that he not be mentioned, cited or referenced...
no, we never sued him or the school, maybe we are fools, but, at this point? i think UCR owes us... it's hard to get the best job when you can't use your most important reference isnt it?
even his own dept chair commented on how irregular the situation is/was....
i guess what i want you and other women to know is that even amongst men there is fierce competition... dirty tricks are not reserved for special groups...
Einsteins own professor blackballed him too yaknow.... we as a species have only ourselves to compete with... top of the food chain and all that...
if we start being too nice to each other? we'll all die off...
keep hitting them hard, we got your back, i dunno why the fools take so long to learn when they are beat just cuz you have a nice smile
the leader of the pack often kills the young that might be able to actually challenge him someday

I don't know the area, but, if it is one with refereed journals, fighting tooth and nail to get that first publication is the norm, under all circumstances. Actually, it remains so for several publications thereafter. Sadly, I have known too many thaat seem to believe it is their job to find reason to deny publication.

I certainly had no interference from any of the faculty under whom I worked as a student, but I have, in more than one area of scholarship been the victim of plagerism and I find it and any that practice it to be worse than loathsome.
I have always found it to be a disgusting practice for a supervisor to publish the work of those under him, even in certain areas of endeaor where that seems to be the standard and even when that supervisor attaches the name of those under him as "obvious" "secondary authors". When evaluating the stature of some other researcher and I have nothing to work with other than his papers, if I find that he habitually has "joint publications" with one or more others (not necessarilly the same set of others) and rarely or never is a sole author, he gets listed, in my esteem, as as secondary scholar.

bdgee, i can only say that the supers supply: the lab, and the funding, and SOMETIMES the inspiration.
the issue for us isn't that the prof got grant money, the issue is that the prof tried to add a few more chapters to a Thesis that was, for all intents and purposes, complete... his position was the old Euro attitude...i am the prof, i am god, do what i say, or else....
he was fresh in the US from Australia... and she was his first American student...
still? his publications wouldn't have impressed you if you have those standards... and apparently? he was granted tenure upon arrival...
we have learned to judge a Prof by his her students that actually go on to become successful... we have noted that quite a few of the guys that get big grant money in the Ent. field have very few students that are successful....
would you be concerned about sending your daughter to a universtiy that had 25 male professors in one dept and no females???

No, scholarship is not gender restrained. Academic quality is the criterion, not gender, religion, color, or about anything else that isn't area specific.

bdgee, you are in Math right? Math and physics are the worst... there are other issues in Math that start at a much younger age than college...... and physics is math dependant... nature versus nuture is still an open debate...
my daughter became anti-math at puberty and i tried my best to work against that before during and after, to little avail... she's not bad at math but it's not her first choice... she's getting a 100% plus scholarship in English tho..
Entomology on the other hand, has plenty of female candidates that are qualified and are not getting hired....

Mathematics is one of the areas I have worked in and has been, in recent years, the area of comncentration.
So long as we continue to provide our young people with mathematical dunces (and that is all we grant teaching credentials in mathematics for lower levels....even in junior colleges and most 4 year colleges they make up the majority of the teachers of mathematics) whose notion of mathematics is to memorize formulas and whose teaching comcern is to cover all the pages of the book (that they really don't understand), we are doomed to destroy young minds.
I never saw any dearth of female students in mathematics. Contrary to popular opinion, the opportunity to study mathematics at the highest levels has been available to females for many centuries. In the very best of schools, that has been the case in the "hard" sciences too for well over 200 years. I point out that Weirstrase lived his life with a female fellow student he met in graduate school; Einstein's first wife was, like him, a graduate student in physics; and the nobel prise winners, Pierre and marie Curie met as graduate students.
Mathematics is a far richer field and opens itself to much greater variety, independence, and creativity than even the vast majority of extremely well educated non-mathematicians understand. A careful investigation reveals that there are more volumes of mathematics in almost every language than any other field of scholarship. It is sad that it is "taught" to be a rigid and crudely unforgiving chore instead of creations of the mind, which it actually is. Consider its etymology. It comes from the combination of two words in greek, one for "the mind" and the other for "the study of", that is, mathematics is the study of thinking.
I'm sorry your daughter wasn't afforded better teaching of mathematics. I offer the following on a man who has been called the greatest teacher of mathematics that ever lived and of whom it was said, "you have to go back 3000 years, to Athens, to find another teacher of his ability":
I cannot offer an absolute opinion, as I never had the opportunity to study from Socrates and so, cannot make a direct comparison, but my experiences do tell me that I feel certain that Socrates would have been thrilled to study from Moore.

bdgee, somehow i think you are missing the point here... if you say women are being offered the same PROFESSIONAL opportunities as men in academia? you are sadly mistaken... # he representation of women in physics and astronomy at all levels continues to increase. At the high school level, almost half of physics students are girls (Figure 2), although fewer girls take AP physics in high school. During 2003, women earned 22% of the bachelor’s degrees in physics and 18% of the PhDs in physics—a record high (Figure 1). In astronomy in 2003, women earned 46% of bachelor’s degrees and 26% of PhDs (Figure 3). # Astronomy has a much higher representation of women than does physics. Although the percentage of degrees awarded to women in physics continues to increase, physics is not attracting women as quickly as other fields (Figure 7 and Figure 8). # There are 18 physics departments that award at least 40% of their bachelor's degrees to women (Table 2). There are 10 physics departments that award more than 25% of their PhDs to women (Table 4). There are also 19 women’s colleges that award at least a bachelor’s degree in physics, although these colleges account for only a small percentage of bachelor’s degrees in physics earned by women (Table 3). # Women are 10% of the faculty members in degree granting physics departments (Table 6). In stand-alone astronomy departments, the percentage of women faculty members is 14% (Table 5). In addition, women are better represented at departments that do not grant graduate degrees and in the lower ranks of the faculty. # Examination of the academic “pipeline” reveals that women disproportionately leave physics between taking it in high school and earning a bachelor’s degree. While almost half of high school physics students are girls, less that one-fourth of bachelor’s degrees in physics are earned by women. After this initial “leak” in the pipeline, women are represented at about the levels we would expect based on degree production in the past. There appears to be no leak in the pipeline at the faculty level in either physics or astronomy (Figure 11 and Figure 12). # Estimates of the retention rates for physics graduate students show only small differences in the dropout rate for male and female students. # African American and Hispanic women earn very few of the physics degrees in the US (Figure 15 and Figure 16). # Internationally, the representation of women in physics is also very low. Most countries award less than 25% of their first-level university physics degrees to women, and most grant less than 20% of their physics PhDs to women (Table 11 and Table 12). # Even when working in the same sector for the same number of years, women’s salaries are lower than men’s in physics and related fields.

i was not joking around about the issues i posted... i am loaded for big game on this one...
the issue is how to go about breaking this sobs cajones on the playing field and not in court, if you get my drift....
PG doesn't whine to Bob and report people that attack her , she kicks their butts on the playing field by being CORRECT...
that's why she has my respect....

Somehow you are missing the point. I did not say "...women are being offered the same opportunities as men in academia".
You found one reason for the statistical results you quote when you noted that your daughter was turned off mathematics at an early age.
Most people, be they male or female, never come close to the level of knowledge required to succeed in graduate school in any area. The culture of the society, not the schools, denies to the graduate schools in mathematics and the hard sciences the chance to ever have most female students. (There is also more than a little possibility that harmones and the resulting compelling desire to procreate sidetracks the vast majority of females that might have the necessary background for academic pursuit at that level of scholarship.) (In another ignored consequence, in our modern culture, of the drive to have more (and more expensive toys) than your neighbors and specially more than those guys across town is that many young males are unemployed and, thus, ignored by shear probabilities as not being "a good catch" exactly when they are of appropriate schollarly achievement and graduate school makes a good place to go wait your turn at the party.
There is no doubt that there are biased faculty members in every school and in every department. Some of those biased faculty members are exactly the opposite of what you are angered by. I don't stand as a champion for ANY bias in the academic world, including that bias that bases it's cause on a claim of bias against females scholars. I've had to deal with those too.
Actually, at the present time, I am far far more worried that the basic structuring of our lower lever education is gender biased so as to cause boys to "not fit in". There is something fundamentally wrong in a system that thinks doping boys to make them accede to being treated like little girls instead of the eager independent explorers of life they were designed to be. (Dope 'em up and keep 'em quiet and heap prasise on the girls right in front of the boys for being what nature made them naturally.)

Fortunately, in all the bunch, there were those that encouraged me not to change and never give in to it. The sad part is they couldn't dare say it aloud so others could hear it. Of all my class mates, I was the only one allowed to join the circle of the male faculty members in the boiler room before the day's classes began. I learned things there that weren't taught in classes.

"PG doesn't whine to Bob and report people that attack her , she kicks their butts on the playing field by being CORRECT..."
This is correct. I have never filed a complaint nor will I ever file a complaint. Additionally, I will not hesitate to critique administration and moderators, if behavior on their part is unacceptable, as you well know. Their behavior is frequently unacceptable.
Fortunately, I am not a sissified man as are a large majority of men participating here and elsewhere; real sissy boys.
Today's new crop of men are simply disgusting; a waste of genetic material.
I stand on my own two feet while today's men whine and cry to momma.
Incidently, Glassman, took me several years, beyond research and dissertation, to be awarded my doctorate. I made a mistake of commenting to my all male committee, "grumpy old men."

Said the professor to the new young graduate student, "Why don't you just jump out my forth floor window?"
Replied the student, as he hastened out the door, "Well, profesasor I am sorry I interrupted you in your office."
Said the professor to the his Ph.D. studentt, "Why don't you just jump out my forth floor window?"
Replied the Ph.D. student, Is there anything I can do for you on the way down, sir?"
