Happy Howelloween

It almost became a tradition around here to celebrate Halloween at Blawg Review with Denise Howell. Not so this year, as the tricking or treating eve falls midweek and, as everyone knows, Blawg Review occurs every Monday.

So, this year, as we look back in wonder at these Howell-o-ween presentations — Blawg Review #30 and Blawg Review #81 — we’re shelling out some Halloween treats from other law bloggers who also hosted Blawg Review.

Anne Reed writes, “Trick or Treat, If You’re Lucky.”

Dan Hull says, “If you forgot the candy, turn off the lights and lie on the floor.”

Evan Schaeffer brings another Halloween tradition to an end.

David Giacalone says, “nice costume, dude.”

Jim Maule writes, “It’s Halloween. Somehow, without intending it, I have developed a MauledAgain tradition of focusing on this holiday each year that it rolls around. So I’m going to treat my readers yet again to some spooky thoughts. I might not have a ghost of a chance to amuse anyone or to make them laugh, but perhaps I can trick people into reading til the end.”

Last but not least, “Trick or Treat: Have a Preliminary Injunction to Eat” by David Donoghue, who’s hosting Blawg Review #133 on Monday at the Chicago IP Litigation Blog.

Trade Ideas for Thursday - RIMM , CROX , FSLR

Chart courtesy of stockcharts

The stock on the spotlight today is First Solar. Shares were up more than 6%, closing near the historical highs. Technicaly chart shows the stock is still in a very strong bull market with MACD on top of signal line and 50 day moving average on top of 200 day moving average, so we should see the stock keep going strong for a while. Today, stock opened way to make new highs tomorrow.

RIMM - Since August that stock has found consistently support on its 20 dma, so any movement below this line should mean a possible invertion of the trend. Also a possible breakout over $128.36 is likely. Keep an eye on RIMM.

Shares of CROCS are under a big selling pressure in after-hours after the plastic shoe maker guided for full-year revenue below analyst estimates. Keep an eye in the trend line mentioned in the chart, if stock break down this trend, you should be careful on the long side.

Presto Pasta Night #36

For this edition of Presto Pasta Night I’ve once again gone the filled pasta route and selected these Tortelli di Patate Mugellani

tortelli di patate

and because they have quite a mild flavour, I’ve teamed them with a rather special local dried sausage called Salsiccia di Cinta Senese

salsiccia di cinta sensese

These artisan sausages are made from the Cinta Senese breed of pigs. They are made in these small bocconcini sizes and are quite firm, akin to a salami. I have enjoyed them served on an antipasto platter, sliced in half and lightly cooked so it’s just heated through.

I’m not going to add too much more to form the sauce - just onion and fresh tomatoes as there is enough flavour in the sausage.

Tortelli di Patate con Salsiccia and Pomordori/Potato Tortelli with Sausage and Tomato

fresh Tortelli di Patate
1 red onion, finely sliced
2 Salsiccia di Cinta Senese, diced
3 plum tomatoes, seeded and diced

Place a little oil and butter in a skillet over a medium heat and when the butter has melted add the onion. Cook until the onion has softened and started to colour. Add the diced sausage and cook until coloured then add the diced tomatoes.

Turn the heat down and let this simmer until the tomatoes have reduced to form a thick sauce.

Add the drained Tortelli to the skillet and toss to combine.

Place the Tortelli onto your plate and sprinkle over with just a little finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano.

Split an input text using javascript

This tutorial explains how to split an input text using a javascript function that finds space char between two words and splits them into substring while you type.

Splitted string appears inside a layer below the input text.

Download this tutorial

Step 1: The HTML Code
We have need just an input field and a div layer:

<input name=“tag” type=“text” id=“tag” size=“30″ onKeyUp=“javascript:getTag();” autocomplete=“off”/>
<div id=“splitResponse”></div>

Step 2: The Javascript function
This is the function that split the texi in input inside the html input element named “tag”:

<script language=“javascript”>
function getTag(){
newTagArray = new Array();
// input field
tagInput = document.getElementById(‘tag’);
totalChar = tagInput.value.length;
// layer for the split response
destLayer = document.getElementById(’splitResponse’);
destLayer.innerHTML=;
// optional: format the input field in lower case
tagString = tagInput.value.toLowerCase();
// find the space position between two words
position = tagString.indexOf(‘ ‘);
i = 0;
while(position>=) {
tagStringN = tagString.substring(0, position);
newTagArray[i] = ‘<a href=”#”>’+tagStringN+’</a> ‘;
tagString = tagString.substring(position+1, totalChar);
position = tagString.indexOf(‘ ‘);
// Create a new <span> element to append inside the layer splitResponse
var element = document.createElement(’span’);
element.innerHTML = newTagArray[i];
destLayer.appendChild(element);
i=i++;
}
}
</script>

GOOG $700 so near…….YHOO Keep the faith….

Chart courtesy of stockcharts
Shares of Google were up today nearly 2.5% or $15.54 to $694.77, reaching during the session a new 52 week high at $699.91. The daily chart show a continuation of the trend with MACD and RSI in the Bullish areas, the stock is in a strong bull market with both 50 day and 200 day moving average going up, however in overbought conditions. Stock may find some resistance to break a physiological mark $700.

YHOO - Profit taking continue today but volume decreased significantly, signal of a possible turn around at these levels. I’m still very optimistic on YHOO and on Alibaba.com IPO. This drop is always welcome after a Big run. If you look at the chart, we can see that the uptrend still intact, so in my opinion there is no reasons for alarm neither to have fear. With MACD above 0 and K line above D line, once the profit taking is over we should see the stock continue to go up strong. Keep the faith :-)

CCI may be ready to break !!
Looking at the chart stock has had a nice run over the past few weeks and again stopped at the major resistance $41.70. I’ll be Bullish in this stock if breakout this area.
