"If you are trading a 30 minute chart...forgedaboudit."

Well, its kinda, sorta nice to have a handle on the daily. :)

Some can trade the 30 minutes charts effectively without having a handle on the daily I guess...but I sure wouldn't wanna try it. ;)

{On a side note, I continue to predict that Terry will revise his daily one more time to return to his original projection from April/May 2009, when he predicted the external high for the entire cycle in late Aug 2010 - just a "hunch"}

And I suppose now you are going to tell me that St. Patrick isn't Irish?

O wait.... :o

:D


Roger I suspect that if I brought to you the evidence that St. patrick is Irish, you would understand he is German. Don' t know what they teach in your schools but we all knew here that Napoleone Bonaparte was French by birth as we are Esquimese. He became French, which is different and so did Lagrange. On the other hand if Napoleon-Napoleone was born to Carlo Maria Buonaparte , italian general and politician and to Letizia Ramolino, an italian noble-woman, as it is reported in the links below, I don' t see how he could have been French. He was more or less an immigrant to France.


BTW ......surely I have more French blood in my veins, from my mother's side, than Napoleon, due to the fact that the little town where I live outside Verona was founded by French immigrants in medioeval times while the pre Alps of the province in which I live in the same period were colonized by people from Bavaria. We know these things here, because they teach us something more than two lines when at elementary school.

End of transmission............it was informative talking with you...................

UHF was filmed here in Tulsa.
My daughter and her friends were in the crowd scene for the Spatula City commercial. (32 seconds into video)
The store is actually a Warehouse Market Grocery at 6200 S Peoria Ave.
They let Weird Al change the sign for an early morning shoot.
It sure confused a lot of grocery shoppers looking for a deal on spatulas. :lol:
My Wife waited on Victoria Jackson at Dillards.
SUPPLIES!

andreas - europeans tend to think of nationality more as blood, because the territory kept being owned by someone else - one day german, then french then italian then russian - whtaever. Americans tend to think of it as blood but more as domicile - where we choose to live - and that is because in part - wehave had few territorial reversions, and we are a nation of immigrants - so blood, obviously, wont work for most except Rogers clan. but really, all of the aristocracy of europe in that time was completely interbred - early 20th C britiish rulers' were really german (House of Hannover) etc etc. in the end, who cares (I dont), it is only important who acts in history and as what - Hitler was austrian but he commandeered Germany - he is German to me, Napolean was born to Italian parents but was French and commandeered France - both brought disaster, so I dont know why you want to claim him anyway. Maybe we all come from Adam and Eva or from a tribe in Africa - nationality and nations come and go - if someone does something that s/he is remembered for, we may as well remember the nation s/he was using at the time. Kosczciuzko helped America but he was Polish (and without a country really) at the time. Many in Sud-Tirol want to be German, My Grandmother was Polish but never set foot in today's Poland, her immigration papers said she was Russian, Russia's papers might have said she was Jew - she was grateful to be an American - so what. You have a special situation and special causum belli about Verona, but it doesnt mean it is universal. All those blue -eyed Normans who are now called Sicilian.
best,

dasein I appreciate your post at an extent you can' t imagine. Anyway the discussion was born around Lagrange who I claimed being, as he was, for 7/8 Northern italian. I am antinationalist by definition and nationalism makes me laugh. I don' t also consider italy a nation but more properly a wrong political project that should have been limited to Northern italy, or Cisalpine Republic, as it was in the intentions of those who built it, at the very beginning (millions of problems would have been avoided). That said let me be proud of a ''cisalpine'' compatriot of mine. We have had so few important scientists in comparison to Germany, France, England, and Lagrange is one that deserves to be mentioned..............not casually I wrote...........a giant like Newton ........who was English. Napoleon is not in my interests, he has never been. Just told Roger he didn' t know that really he was an immigrant. Just told Roger that there are things in this world he doesn' t even suspect. That was the sense of my talking. Cheers.
