Im a huge fan of the pants splorge is talking about, but have yet to come across any good one for reasonable money. If anyone has any ideas on where to pick some up I'd love to know. Also ties are perfect items to buy online as you can frequently get high quality ties for more than 1/2 off.

1. Lose 10lbs and get my 6 pack back for my 34th birthday. It'll be the 10 year anniversary of me having a 6 pack. lol 2. Tough Mudder in 2hr 20min which would be 40mins faster than my previous time. 3. Resume going to crossfit when I'm not traveling.

If cost is no big deal Tumi is obviously awesome and you can probably get it for around $350 at an outlet. Their products tend to have good build quality. http://www.tumi.com/product/index.js...ndSrc=paramNav If cost is an issue this is the laptop bag that I use the most is the Timbuk2...

Could always try iSpy. I don't know how well it works, but it's free. http://www.ispyconnect.com/

Opposed to what Prova says absolutely do not buy pleated pants with your suits unless you're fat.

I'll just post links to places I shop from since that's pretty easy. www.ctshirts.com- These compare favorably to my much more expensive shirts and I enjoy the shirt options www.jackedthreads.com- pretty inexpensive street wear www.gilt.com- most everyone knows what they have on here...

Thanks for the recipes. Those peanut butter bars sound awesome. I'm definitely going to make some.

I'm with you on this. Super tasty protein drink: 1 scoop protein powder (i like chocolate) 1 cup almond milk 1 cup frozen berries 1/2 banana 1 tbsp peanut butter Some ice cubes (6-7) and blend away! That shit tastes awesome. Or... 1 cup greek yogurt a bunch of frozen berries...

I really liked the film stock / effects(?) they used in the scenes when they were riding through the countryside with the buffalo. It very much reminded me of an old western or wildlife movie as it had that grainy feel to it.

The R is just for the removable cable. I had the Shure SE530's and have now busted two cables on them so I wanted to make sure I could replace the most easily destroyed part of the IEM.

Wrong

I'm skimming through that second paper so maybe I'm cherry picking here, but it seems to agree with me that in this day and age the predominant reproductive strategy for males shouldn't by monogamy from a bioenergetic standpoint. In an environment where parental involvement has little to do with...

Where do you work? Large consulting firm What do you do? (Title/keywords) Consultant What field/industry? Financial Services, but I'll do whatever Wages? $130K Bonuses/SEP? Probably around $55k all in this year Benefits? All the normal stuff plus some fun stuff: $500 to...

Now while I don't study it like you apparently do and I don't typically consider wikipedia a valid source, I find it hard to believe that we were meant to be monogamous when no one/few people in human history were until 20,000 years ago when agriculture was invented, and most societies aren't...

I just got my new IEMs. Merry Christmas to me!

I think I see the issue here.

I find the results of this poll to be somewhat interesting as it's estimated that there will be some sort of infidelity in 30-60% of married relationships. So to say that 67% have never cheated which is a much more stringent criteria is interesting. I wonder if there is some sort of selection...

The thing people need to realize is that Bschool is not about grades. In a field like law most students go to law school straight from undergrad and therefore law firms don"t have any better predictors to base your performance on than grades. In business programs everyone has prior work...

I just quoted UT"s curve. UT doesn"t give C"s at the very least it doesn"t happen anymore so unless you can dig up some reference to this grade distribution I"m not buying it. Edit: I"m not dispariging your school. McCombs is a great program. I"m just saying that the facts don"t support what...

My core distribution was: A: 7 A-: 27 B+: 7 B: 19 B-: 7 C+: 1 and a few folks managed to get kicked out for being retarded. For reference from McCombs...

This is pretty much in line with what they say they are going to map to honestly. The B category includes all grades below B. For fun the mean GPA including all crap classes is 3.6 and the distribution of grades is as follows.

Just for giggles I created a histogram of the grade distribution across 3 semesters of classes. To be fair I removed the analytics classes and some other bullshit classes that are pass fail (academy weeks & interview prep). It looks like the grade distribution is over represented in the A-...

If you"re at Harvard you"re probably smart as fuck or at least good at what you do. A curve doesn"t make sense there and that"s why you get banned from recruiting if you ask about grades. At other schools it seems to be enforced pretty well. There are some classes where they don"t enforce it...

GMAT scores are sort of an interesting topic around here lately. You have super high scores coming out of Asia but asians tend to think nothing of cheating on these tests so you don"t know whether they are actually really bright or not. However schools are chasing candidates with really high...

It definitely has a huge impact on admissions. Plus then you can go to NSHMBA and National Black which is big for recruiting. Other random points, everyone at any MBA program is on a forced curve. The typical curve is top 10-15% get an A, the next 25-30% get an A-, 45-50% B+, and then you"re a...

Pedigree > GMAT when it comes to apps. I would do a lot of reading at poetsandquants.com if you really want to get an MBA. There is tons of useful information there. Also your essays are more important than you think, and your resume probably sucks. Not trying to be a dick but it"s the truth...

Not quite the same as the VC market, but the VC guys expect somewhere around 70% of the businesses they invest in to be a bust and that"s after they"ve done due diligence. It worked out well for lyrical but that"s the exception rather than the rule.

I would only offer this sort of deal to larger customers with whom you have to lock up a good portion of your working capital. If you have to finance through the bank then you are getting burned at both ends. You require additional cash to stay solvent and are financing a loan to customers...

You could always offer a discount for paying earlier than the initial 90 days. That way you won"t have so much cash tied up. Something like 2/10 or whatever the standard rate is in your industry.

You could always put an alternate phone number on the billboard. You"ll still run into the problem of people looking you up in the phonebook after seeing the billboard, but you are guaranteed to be able to track some of the business back to your billboard. I actually just worked on a similar...

There are quite a few academic papers out there exploring this. The one I can think of off the top of my head has an alpha of 8%. I"ll dig up the paper later today.

That"s fine and all but stocks that miss their numbers tend to drift downward over time, and tend to miss their next estimate as analysts don"t tend to full incorporate bad news. Interestingly, on longer time horizons there tends to be little correlation between past earnings and future earnings...

Looks awesome! I would think that one thing you might want to do is run arbitrage analysis against a set of stocks. You can determine whether stocks are related by industry programatically by pulling their GICS codes (to some extent, and lacking access to gics codes you could generate a flat...

It"s just the web layout used through Marketocracy. You could probably do the same thing with excel really quickly.

QuantFinanceJobs.org - Quantitative Finance Jobs in New York, London, Chicago Lot"s of options and derivatives stuff there, but it"s probably good to see the algos. There a quite a few lists floating around with code. I know this is a finmath one for R and I"m sure just about any other language.

Sorry about the metatrader thing I totally forgot. What you can do though is get the MB Navigator and link it to Ninja Trader. Though this has been problematic for me as it won"t build charts, but it may be because I"ve been playing with version 7.0 which is beta. The other option is that MB...

My fake portfolio kills the market, and it"s all buy and hold. I"ve been trading this fake portfolio since mid 2006. I need a life. Alpha 9.78% Beta .27 Rsquared .35 Honestly though my timing is pretty killer hahaha. Edit: Fuck Energizer, I overweighted or i guess optimally (risk...

I guess if you are absolutely set on TA you could grab an account at MB trading. Pretty sure you can get free real time values through a practice account and i think metatrader has it"s own scripting engine to let you build your own indicators.

Hi

You need gobs of historical data and the more granular the better. Think of TA as poor man"s quant analysis. I"m with Lyrical just go with fundamentals. I would personally screen the universe of stocks down to a few reasonable options and from there start building some models to explain their...
