@@@@@BE AN "INDIAN GIVER": This is the power of @@@@@BE AN "INDIAN GIVER": This is the power of getting something for nothingWhen the first white settlers came to America, they were taken aback by a cultural practice some American Indians hadFor example, if a settler was cold, the Indian would give the person a blanketMistaking it for a gift, the settler was often offended when the Indian asked for it back The Indians also got upset when they realized the settlers did not want to give it backThat is where the term "Indian giver" came fromA simple cultural misunderstanding In the world of the "asset column," being an Indian giver is vital to wealthThe sophisticated investor's first question is, "How fast do I get my money back?" They also want to know what they get for free, also called a piece of the actionThat is why the ROI, or return of and on investment, is so important For example, I found a small condominium, a few blocks from where I live, that was in foreclosureThe bank wanted $60,000, and I submitted a bid for $50,000, which they took, simply because, along with my bid, was a cashier's check for $50,000They realized I was seriousMost investors would say, aren't you tying up a lot of cash? Would it not be better to get a loan on it? The answer is, not in this caseMy investment company uses this as a vacation rental in the winter months, when the "snowbirds" come to Arizona, and rent it for $2,500 a month for four months out of the yearFor rental during the off-season, it rents for only $1,000 a monthI had my money back in about three years Now I own this asset, which pumps money out for me, month in and month out The same is done with stocksFrequently, my broker will call me and recommend I move a sizable amount of money into the stock of a company that he feels is just about to make a move that will add value to the stock, like announcing a new product I will move my money in for a week to a month while the stock moves upThen, I pull my initial dollar amount out, and stop worrying about the fluctuations of the market, because my initial money is back and ready to work on another assetSo my money goes in, and then it comes out, and I own an asset that was technically free True, I have lost money on many occasions But I only play with money I can afford to lose | | Saturday, December 18th, 2010 | | 3:02 am |

whom he was observed, Henry @@@@@Finding by whom he was observed, Henry Crawford addressed himself on the same subject to Sir Thomas, in a more everyday tone, but still with feeling “I want to be your neighbour, Sir Thomas, as you have, perhaps, heard me telling Miss PriceMay I hope for your acquiescence, and for your not influencing your son against such a tenant?” 214 Mansfield Park Sir Thomas, politely bowing, replied, “It is the only way, sir, in which I could not wish you established as a permanent neighbour; but I hope, and believe, that Edmund will occupy his own house at Thornton LaceyEdmund, am I saying too much?” Edmund, on this appeal, had first to hear what was going on; but, on understanding the question, was at no loss for an answer “Certainly, sir, I have no idea but of residenceBut, Crawford, though I refuse you as a tenant, come to me as a friendConsider the house as half your own every winter, and we will add to the stables on your own improved plan, and with all the improvements of your improved plan that may occur to you this spring “We shall be the losers,” continued Sir Thomas“His going, though only eight miles, will be an unwelcome contraction of our family circle; but I should have been deeply mortified if any son of mine could reconcile himself to doing lessIt is perfectly natural that you should not have thought much on the subject, MrBut a parish has wants and claims which can be known only by a clergyman constantly resident, and which no proxy can be capable of satisfying to the same extentEdmund might, in the common phrase, do the duty of Thornton, that is, he might read prayers and preach, without giving up Mansfield Park: he might ride over every Sunday, to a house nominally inhabited, and go through divine service; he might be the clergyman of Thornton Lacey every seventh day, for three or four hours, if that would content himHe knows that human nature needs more lessons than a weekly sermon can convey; and that if he does not live among his parishioners, and prove himself, by constant attention, their well-wisher and friend, he does very little either for their good or his ownCrawford bowed his acquiescence “I repeat again,” added Sir Thomas, “that Thornton Lacey is the only house in the neighbourhood in which I should not be happy to wait on MrCrawford bowed his thanks “Sir Thomas,” said Edmund, “undoubtedly understands the duty of a parish priestWe must hope his son may prove that he knows it too Whatever effect Sir Thomas’s little harangue might really produce on MrCrawford, it raised some awkward sensations in two of the 215 Jane Austen others, two of his most attentive listeners—Miss Crawford and FannyOne of whom, having never before understood that Thornton was so soon and so completely to be his home, was pondering with downcast eyes on what it would be not to see Edmund every day; and the other, startled from the agreeable fancies she had been previously indulging on the strength of her brother’s description, no longer able, in the picture she had been forming of a future Thornton, to shut out the church, sink the clergyman, and see only the respectable, elegant, modernised, and occasional residence of a man of independent fortune, was considering Sir Thomas, with decided ill-will, as the destroyer of all this, and suffering the more from that involuntary forbearance which his character and manner commanded, and from not daring to relieve herself by a single attempt at throwing ridicule on his cause All the agreeable of her speculation was over for that hourIt was time to have done with cards, if sermons prevailed; and she was glad to find it necessary to come to a conclusion, and be able to refresh her spirits by a change of place and neighbour The chief of the party were now collected irregularly round the fire, and waiting the final break-upWilliam and Fanny were the most detach | | Monday, December 6th, 2010 | | 3:07 am |
@@@@@After twenty-eight years in this corkscrew @@@@@After twenty-eight years in this corkscrew business, it was my final contribution—with the full authority of the president of the United States and the consent of Congress through the select committees on intelligence in the House and the Senate “That’s heavy artillery, MrConklin,” commented the gray-haired director, sitting motionless, his voice flat, neutral “There were heavy reasons for pulling out the cannonsOne of the sixteen-inchers reached me Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM 14 “You’re damned right he didNow, there’s the question of accountabilityI want to know how that information surfaced and, most important, who got it Both deputy directors began talking at once, as angrily as Alex, but they were stopped by the DCI, who touched their arms, a pipe in one hand, a lighter in the other“Slow down and back up, MrConklin,” said the director gently, lighting his pipe“It’s obvious that you know my two associates, but you and I never met, have we?” “NoI resigned four and a half years ago, and you were appointed a year after that “Like many others—quite justifiably, I think—did you consider me a crony appointment?” “You obviously were, but I had no trouble with thatAs far as I could tell, you were an apolitical Annapolis admiral who ran naval intelligence and who just happened to work with an FMF marine colonel during the Vietnam war who became presidentOthers were passed over, but that happensBut do you have any ‘sweat’ with my two deputy directors?” “It’s history, but I can’t say either one of them was considered the best friend an agent in the field ever hadThey were analysts, not field men “Isn’t that a natural aversion, a conventional hostility?” “Of course it isThey analyzed situations from thousands of miles away with computers we didn’t know who programmed and with data we hadn’t passed onYou’re damned right it’s a natural aversionWe dealt with human quotients; they didn’tThey dealt with little green letters on a computer screen and made decisions they frequently shouldn’t have made “Because people like you had to be controlled,” interjected the deputy on the director’s right “How many times, even today, do men and women like you lack the full picture? The total strategy and not just your part of it?” “Then we should be given a fuller picture going in, or at least an overview so we can try to figure out what makes sense and what doe | | Saturday, December 4th, 2010 | | 3:02 am |
@@@@@"I have another
commitment, please excuse @@@@@"I have another commitment, please excuse me if I leave you now He turned his back on her and walked awayScarlett looked after himShe felt as if he had slapped her faceShe'd made no demands on him, she'd made a gift of the greatest thing she'd learned to give And he'd trampled it into the muckHe'd made a fool of herNo, she'd made a fool of herselfScarlett stood there, a brightly colored, small isolated figure amid the noise and movement of the horse fair, for a measureless timeThen the world came back into focus, and she saw Rhett and his friend near another tent, in a circle of intent spectatorsA different tweed-clad man was holding a restless bay by the bridle, and a redfaced man wearing a plaid vest was swooping his right arm down, in the familiar motions of the horse trade Scarlett imagined she could hear the slapping palms as he exhorted Rhett's friend, and the horse's owner, to come to a dealHer feet moved by themselves, marching across the space separating her from themThere must have been people in her way, but she was unconscious of them, and somehow they melted awayThe dealer's voice was like some ritual chant, cadenced and hypnotic: a hundred and twenty, sir, you know that's a handsome price, even for a beast as grand as this one and you, sir, you can go twenty-five, isn't that the fact of it, to add a noble animal like this to your stables one-forty? Sure, you must add a little reasonableness to your thinking, the gentleman's come up to one twenty-five, it's only the way of the world for you to take a small step to meet him; say one-forty's your price down from forty-two and we'll be making a deal before the day's out
One-forty it is, now see the generous nature of the man, you'll prove you can match him, won't you now? Say one-thirty instead of one twenty-five and there's only a breath between you, no more than can be for the cost of a pint or two Scarlett stepped into the triangle of seller, buyer, and Her face was shockingly white above her green shirt, her eyes greener than emeralds"One-forty," she said clearlyThe dealer stared confused, his rhythm brokenScarlett spit into her right hand and slapped it loudly against hisThen she spit again, looking at the sellerHe lifted his hand and spat into the palm, then slapped once, twice against hers in the age-old seal of deal madeThe dealer could only spit and seal in acquiescen |
