The Streets of Austin I came to Austin on business recently. I always enjoy myself here, there are wonderful restaurants, live music, bats that fly by the millions, old friends and new. I am well paid to come to Austin, a nice room in an upscale hotel, and first class airline tickets to bring me here and take me home to the far frozen north. In my mind it is always ...

I established NC after I reached what I thought was my breaking point with my ex-partner. I asked him to move out, get IC and we would work towards living together again. Initially he refused IC and said if we can't live together we can't be together. I sobbed and cried. Days later he called me back and said he wanted to be together and would seek IC. Of course he didn't, he only stopped the head...

Spike Jonze isn't trying to amuse children with his film adaptation of Maurice Sendak's book; he's warning grownups that self-indulgence threatens our wellbeing The critics were puzzled and faintly irritated by Where the Wild Things Are . So, it seems, were the film's producers . This isn't, however, the fault of director Spike Jonze. He's done his best to provide clues for those who ...

This forum has been very helpful to me and I’ve learned a lot about how I might have tackled this language learning project better. Thought I’d share for the sake of others who are not on an academic track and mainly studying Chinese as a hobby. When I first visited China about 3 years ago I had been exploring East Asia simply because I enjoy foreign travel. In the US I...

a-->g, you might also want to wear several hats and consider teaming up with a Chinese person to do medical translations. However, to be on a school's payroll as the alleged main reason for being in China will make it easier to meet visa requirements (I say alleged as the real reason for living there would be to have a jolly good time). Hope you'll have a grand China adventure (and ...

Popeye - we've done the same thing with beggars overseas. Offer to buy food really makes most of them angry. They are obviously just out there for the money. There are those rare times when you get someone really appreciative of real help. I once bought dinner for a young 16 year old girl who had runaway from home. Ended up driving her 200 miles to her home (after I called my wife and a FBI ...

Hi rondom, I don't follow JFP at all so I can't answer without doing a bunch of digging into their holdings. I don't know if some of the Level 3 assets went belly up. Perhaps those assets were not properly valued to begin with, thus inflating the NAV. That is why I take "management's assumptions" with a grain of salt. No reason to be "scared to death" when considering a CEF. If you ...
