If you're looking into sport pilot training, but you're not sure how it differs from private pilot training, we've got a collection of several perks of sport pilot training that should help you decide the best path for you.
In our new article Sport Pilot Training: Four Perks of Learning to Fly Light Sport we discuss several perks of sport pilot training, such as cost savings and no required medical exam. The following is just a sample of the article, be sure to click through to read the whole thing:
LSA of any type are usually light and easy to fly and the newer LSA offer advanced avionics that supplement their delightful flying characteristics. They can require a bit more attention than their larger counterparts, thanks to their quick response to control inputs, but make no mistake, LSA are great aircraft. Their light and efficient designs mean they don't feel heavy or sluggish in the air, which manifests as lighter than normal stick forces required to maneuver. LSA's ease of handling will enhance your flight training and your enjoyment of every flight. Furthermore, most new Light Sport Aircraft feature glass cockpits, which offers a more centralized and efficient display of the primary flight instruments.

Dearest ______,
On the rare occasion my colleagues and I venture out for lunch; climb down our office on a hill, we walk to the Toa Payoh public housing estates nearby where a smorgasbord of dining choices await. Stark contrast to the 2-3 options inside our friendly canteen up the hill.
Amidst hole- in- the- wall barber shops, small convenient stores, a wet market, busy hawker centers, there resides a quaint little ice cream and coffee shop called Creamier.
They have a nice variety of freshly churned ice cream which usually gets the job done after lunch at one of the food stalls around. Signature (i.e. Richest Dark Chocolate Ferrero, Rum and Raisin,Summer Strawberries, etc) Seasonal (i.e. Peppermint Candy, Lemon Yuzu, Earl Gray Lavender, etc), and Limited Edition (Ginger Marsala, White Peach Chardonnay, Chocolate Peppercorn, etc) flavours are there to choose from.
My palate being unadventurous as it is, I usually stick to my favourite Roasted Pistachio. Since Ben and Jerry's has stopped carrying those in those tubs, this is where I get my Pistachio fix! Even Singaporean artist Francis Ooi thinks it's hella good!
It's most interesting to note that while surrounded by what seems to be the simplicity of everyday living (people's fresh laundry hanging above, old people playing checkers, dogs being walked around), Creamier charmingly looks like it belongs in a museum's front lobby. With modern interiors of exposed wiring and bare cement screed floor, it also houses art for viewing and sale. This month shows works from various Singapore- based artists including Francis Ooi (whose work I really like).
I must remember to pick something up from his collection for my parents' house!
If this place weren't so close to work and reminded me too much of the many rushed lunch breaks, I would love to come here more often. I really, really would!
Creamier is at Block 128 Toa Payoh Lorong 1 (#01-836), Singapore.

|Swap & Style: Plaid Tie-Neck Shirt (Tommy Girl)
I'm so excited to post the first Swap & Style of the year! This is one of my favorite series and I'm glad Katrina and I have kept it up the past few years. It's always fun surprising each other with a random piece from each of our closets.
First up: my plaid tie-neck blouse. I've had it for a while (the brand was very short-lived! R.I.P. Tommy Girl at Macy's) and had yet to feature it on the blog, so I figured I'd send it over to Katrina to try it out too.
I kept it pretty preppy with scalloped khaki shorts, a striped satchel from Anthropologie, and boat flats.
Outfit Details:
Red and navy plaid tie-neck blouse (Tommy Girl)
Khaki scalloped shorts (Lush)
Brown leather and navy/white striped satchel (Jesslyn Blake via Anthropologie)
Brown boat shoes (c/o Wet Seal)
Don't you just love how put together Katrina looks even in jeans? I also like how she knotted the necktie instead of tying it in a bow.
|Katrina of The Demure Muse
Stay tuned for Part II, where we style Katrina's pink tulle dress!

Minor thing, but you've mangled up oliv's last name with your commits. Looks like you didn't open it as a UTF-8 file but proceeded to save it as one. "é" should be "é".
Freso commented on 2015-08-04 14:48
Imported previous Git history. Disowning again.
Freso commented on 2015-07-31 08:45
It will get uploaded to AUR4 once I sort out the Git history. Hopefully today, but before week's end at the latest. Use PKGBUILDs from AUR3 for now.
MadPhysicist commented on 2015-07-29 13:37
Please move this package to AUR4 or orphan it. I have already created an updated PKGBUILD, so if you would like to orphan it, I would gladly take over.
MadPhysicist commented on 2015-07-28 14:50
This package is not showing up when I search for it, or when I try to install `ruby-git-up`. Any idea why?
hobarrera commented on 2014-12-27 18:13
Please re-upload the package generating AUR metadata (mkaurball -f).
hcartiaux commented on 2012-04-25 23:31
Please add --no-user-install to the gem install command so the gem will not be installed in the user home directory.
The default now is --user-install (in /etc/gemrc)

The U.S. Census Bureau today unveiled its national advertising campaign for the 2010 Census, which seeks to boost the national mail-back participation rate by increasing awareness and educating the public about the importance of participating in the once-a-decade headcount. The $133 million campaign builds on the success of the 2000 Census efforts, where the Census Bureau used paid advertising for the first time and reversed a three-decade decline in public response rates by mail.

Jennifer Del Castillo, 13, and her family are doing well. She has Ewing's sarcoma, a cancerous bone tumor, but she is holding her own. Jennifer still has not been declared cancer-free. The spots that were detected in her lungs late last year remain a source of concern, but they have not shifted or changed in size, which the family interprets as good news. Jennifer continues to see her doctor every three months.
Her father, Javier Del Castillo, 35, is still only able to work limited hours at H-E-B and her mother Maria Elizabeth, 38, is not able to work in order for Jennifer to qualify for Medicaid.
All the children, including Brother Javier, 17, and twin sister Jessica, carry on with good grades in school. Jennifer, her mom says, has never lost focus on her studies. "She continues to be so strong. She teaches us everyday what strength is."
Mary Elizabeth Del Castillo says it was a lovely experience to participate in last year's Season for Caring campaign. While the gifts were very much appreciated, she says, it was the support they received from so many that made the greatest impact on them all. "We are grateful for all the compassion people showed for Jennifer."
Look for other updates all week and meet a new round of Season for Caring families on Nov. 30. Share your stories of giving on Instagram and Twitter at #seasonforcaring.

I hear momcologists complain about their husbands often. I'm guilty too. The most common complaint: "he has no idea how much I do". This is usually coupled with a feeling of intense burden in taking responsibility for all the care their child is receiving.
For most kids with medical challenges, 90% or more of the treatment plan will rest on the mom. Some of this is by our own design. I don't know a single mother who doesn't want to be sure their child is receiving the very best care. We fall into the control-freak trap pretty easily. We want to know all the details of what to expect and we usually end up shuttling our child to all the appointments and giving all the medication.
So we get in a pinch when we start to feel under appreciated for how much time we invest into our child's care on top of feeling overwhelmed by the responsibility. Bitterness starts to creep in, followed by resentment. This is a yucky place to be in and over time will damage your relationship.
Please understand that men don't usually sense this depth of complex emotion. Most of them think: "Wow, this cancer treatment is working out pretty well, things are ship-shape, my wife's got it covered, no need to interfere." It is not because they don't care. It is usually because they don't have a grasp of the scope. Dumping guilt trips or giving the cold shoulder is probably not going bring progress. So let's create a plan for helping your husband understand.
- The benefits of sharing the burden: Now I agree there is a very strong case to be made for one person having an eagle eye view of the treatment plan. Things will be less likely to fall through the cracks that way. However, this does not mean that same person must facilitate every single part of the treatment plan. If you want to be appreciated for what you do or receive help, then you must first start by creating awareness and delegating responsibility. This also becomes crucial if you are sick or otherwise unable to facilitate the treatment plan for a while. Someone else should be able to to pick up where you left off at any time.
- Creating a visual treatment calendar: Print out monthly calendars for at least the next four months and tape them up on a wall together so that all four months can be seen at once. Divide each day in half (top & bottom).
- In the top box for each day: Write in pencil all planned treatments given at the clinic even if you don't have fixed appointments yet. For example: if you know your child will receive an IV medication on the 10th day of this phase of treatment, pencil it in now and add the appointment time later when you know it. This is your appointment calendar… things you have to leave the house to do.
- In the bottom boxes: Pencil in any home care such as oral medications, supplements or hickman maintenance. Write all the basics that get taken for granted but are required for your child's comfort, safety or treatment plan. This is your medication calendar. As things change, erase and update.
- Creating a medication dosage chart: post next to your treatment calendar a detailed medication dosage list. List each medication or supplement separately and include: the amount given, when to give it and any notes or instructions. So if your daughter will only take her antibiotic in liquid form mixed with chocolate syrup, write that down. When a dosage changes, erase and update. You may need to print & fill out a new dosage chart for each phase of treatment.
- Share it: When your treatment calendar & medication dosage charts are complete, ask your husband to go over them with you. Tell him that you will do your best to keep them updated. Make an agreement that if there is anything he is responsible for, you will but a big star next to it. Let him know that each day at dinner time you will try to remember to give him a treatment update of how the day went.
- Using Cozy to share calendars: I believe the visual calendar is non-negotiable if you really want to see a difference in the level of awareness and reduction in resentment. You can go digital as an extra bonus. Some moms & dads love technology and need to carry the plan with them everywhere they go. If that's you I highly recommend creating a Cozy family calendar for appointment reminders. Once you have any type of appointment scheduled for your child, add it to the calendar and you can set it to automatically remind everyone who is sharing the calendar.
- Delegate things: Usually there will be one aspect of treatment that becomes a sticky spot for you. Maybe you have a very hard time coaching your child through it or it causes you an unusual amount of stress. Sticky spots are great to delegate. Help your husband to take ownership of one particular treatment or type of appointment. Schedule it to his personal calendar and allow yourself to let go of it. It's amazing how kids will respond totally differently depending on whether mom or dad is present. You may be surprised to find that something extremely challenging for you ends up being a piece of cake for him. This does n0t make you a failure, it just means you have different specialties. Nobody can do it all and its good for your child to experience the support of both parents.
These are just some ideas to try. They may or may not work for your family, of course.
PS: What tricks have you found to share responsibility and reduce resentment in your marriage? I'd love to hear what works for you. Leave a comment!

'Generally a bit laggy, but he probably doesn't drop his sticks' - Petr Cech's drumming rated by FFT
The Chelsea keeper has revealed a rhythmic side by posting YouTube videos of him playing along to Coldplay and Foo Fighters. FourFourTwo writer Nick Moore, drummer with Welsh psychedelic beat combo Howl Griff, assesses the Czech's chops…
We are part of The Trust Project What is it?
Goalkeepers are the drummers of football, and this is not a bad bit of tub-bothering from the lanky custodian.
It's fair to transpose the cliche and say that Cech has got a decent touch for a big man – he possesses a nice sense of musical dynamics, playing the quiet bits softly, and walloping the living Jesus out of his cymbals as 'Clocks' comes to a rowdy conclusion.
Petr's technique is reasonable. Drumming is all in the wrists, and as a man for whom ball-parrying joint rigidity is an essential part of the job, he's got no worries there. Having spheres smashed at great velocity into his hands daily by Diego Costa has done wonders for his rapid hi-hat work.
Cech does need to work on his timing, though. He drops the odd beat and is generally a bit 'laggy'. Coldplay may have a reputation as a bunch of bed-wetting mummy's boys, but their drummer, Southampton season ticket holder Will Champion, is something of a monster.
When Champion plays 'Clocks', he punishes his buckets like Wayne Rooney attempting to ward off a swarm of hornets. Cech's version is feebly behind the beat in comparison, and mid-drum, he has the desperate air and tight shoulders of a man narrowly missing an important bus.
That said, Champion would probably be hopeless in a Champions League penalty shootout, so we mustn't be too harsh. Both men are used to having a row of self-important berks prancing around in front of them.
To improve, Cech needs to work on his feet and left hand. Like average football players who don't train up their weaker foot, he has a decent right paw, but needs to drill the other three limbs mercilessly after training to get up to scratch.
Still, it's nice to see him out of his funny little hat, and I also imagine he rarely drops the sticks. Well drummed, that man.

Well, strategy game on PC will consume more resources than its mobile version. However, Clash of Clans does not have PC version, which means there is possible to play only at minimum specs.
Clash of Clans download for PC will need minimum RAM 1 GB and the processor is Celeron or above version. Higher specs are much recommended because they do not have issue for installing and playing. This game for PC uses operating system Windows 7 or new version. Lower one might be capable, but not very convincing.
The key to play mobile device game on PC is emulator. This is what you will do on Clash of Clans download for PC. Developer on this game only releases version smartphone, iPhone and Android. You just need Android emulator to access all apps from smartphone in order to be visible on desktop computer or laptop. There are many emulators to support Android on PC. You just choose one of them and the basic principle is similar each other. Install this emulator, such as bluestack, on PC and you are ready for next step.

How to Download and Install
1. Download from Google Play
- After the emulator is done, you have two ways to get Clash of Clans download for PC. Firstly, open Android OS and go to Google Play. It looks similar to what you see on smartphone.
- Search for clash of clans then install immediately. The process is straightforward then waits until the installation is done.
- Shortcut will be on home screen and tap it to open this game. Therefore, clash of clans are ready to play, but make sure internet is available.
2. APK mode
Second way to install Clash of Clans is apk. Some apps for Android may not be available on Google Play. As popular game, there is no issue for finding clash of clans. If direct download does not work, you may download apk version. This is similar to software before install on PC. There are some reasons why second way is more favorable. Sometimes, Google Play does not work properly when using emulator. Moreover, you can choose any version from clash of clans whether new or old one.
This game requires teamwork to complete quest and task. Player has to know how to build the clans, army, and fortress. Moreover, this game relies on gold, gems, and elixirs to expand extensively. You can enjoy all of them after installing Clash of Clans download for PC. Further information about this game from developer, you can visit http://supercell.com/en/games/clashofclans/.

Today is the first time I post about crystal. I usually don't like heavy crystal pieces but David Wiseman organic series sort o speaks to me. Glacier Collection was created for the Czech company Artêl and the collection include the bowls you see in the post, a vase, and two glasses. More pictures of the bowls can be found after the jump.

Nice glasses. I hear you on the crystal thing in general, but those I can imagine drinking from.
I`ve been following your blog for a while, and I really enjoy it. But my poor knowledge of Swedish prevents me from taking part, so to speak… Thank you for the English translation, may it get you an army of followers so you can kick back an enjoy the good life. 😉

Most Visual Basic developers are aware that they can declare and initialize an array in one statement like this:
Dim csts() As String = {"A123", "B456"}
What you may not know is that, as of Visual Basic 10 (.NET Framework 4/Visual Studio 2010), there's a variation on that syntax you can use to initialize collection: Just insert the keyword From between your collection declaration and the initialization list (the stuff in the curly braces).
For instance, this code initializes a List of Customer objects (each Customer object is defined by passing a CustomerID when creating the Customer object):
Dim csts As New List(Of Customer) From
{New Customer("A123"), New Customer("B456")}
This example does the same thing, but calls a factory method that returns Customer objects
Dim csts As New List(Of Customer) From
To initialize a Dictionary that uses strings for its keys and Customer objects for its values, all you need is a few more curly braces to mark off each item in the list:
Dim csts As New Dictionary(Of String, Customer) From
{{"A123", New Customer("A123")},
{"A456", New Customer("A456")}}
The From keyword can be used with any collection that implements the IEnumerable interface (or has a GetEnumerator method), and has an Add method that can use the From keyword. The From keyword uses the IEnumerable interface as evidence that the object is a collection, and then calls the Add method for each item in the initializer list.
If you're creating your own collection class, you can let developers use the From keyword with your class by implementing the IEnumerable interface and having a method called Add that accepts a single parameter (or however many parameters each item in your collection requires).
If you're working with a collection that doesn't have an Add method, you don't have to rewrite the collection class; just create an extension method for the class that puts new items in the collection, and call that method Add. This extension works with the Queue class to give it the ability to use the From initializer syntax by wrapping its Enqueue method inside an Add method:
Module PHVExtensions
Sub Add (ByVal q As Queue, ByVal itm As Object)
End Sub
End Module
End Module

hello leonardo
I,m not there best person to answer your question here.
I know getting permanent residency i n Australia is very difficult.
You are best to go to the austalian goverment site for immigration.
I know there is a points programe where they give priority to people with sills that are needed here.
I donnot think homeopathy even with a masters degree is high on that list...they favoure medical doctors,and trade skills like plummer, electrician etc.
Google australian immigration....don,t fall for any immigration agaents as that doesn,t really help good luck

Two American couples who say they were trying to adopt children in Egypt were convicted of human trafficking and sentenced to two years in prison on Thursday in a case that highlighted the murky process for adopting in the predominantly Muslim country.
Islamic law observed in Egypt bans Muslims from adopting children, in the name of maintaining clear bloodlines to ensure lines of patrimony and inheritance.
However, adoptions within the minority Christian community in Egypt do take place — including by Egyptian Christians living abroad. But experts say they face enormous obstacles from authorities, so many couples and those arranging adoptions resort to forging documents and bribes.
The case was first time such an adoption case has been tried in Egypt, and lawyers of the two couples have said Egypt was prosecuting because of US pressure on the country to crack down on human trafficking. The couples were discovered when the US embassy in Cairo reported to authorities that it was suspicious of them after they tried to get their adopted children out of Egypt.
The four — Iris Botros and Louis Andros of Durham, North Carolina, and Egyptian-born Suzan Hagoulf and her husband Medhat Metyas — were arrested in December and went on trial in May on charges of child trafficking and forgery.
Andros, Hagoulf and Metyas — who are both from Egypt's Christian community — all hold US citizenship. Court documents said Botros, also an Egyptian Christian, holds US residency.
The four were also ordered to pay a fine equivalent to around US$18,000, each.
Botros and Andros adopted twin newborn boys, while Hagoulf and Meytas adopted a male toddler. They adopted them from a Cairo orphanage that allegedly gave them forged documents stating the children had been born to them.
Two US embassy officials attended the trial but declined to comment on the case.
"The embassy has been following the case and is aware of the verdict," US embassy spokeswoman Margaret White later said.
She would not comment further on the case or on the American nationals, citing privacy concerns.
The Americans were brought in handcuffs to the Cairo court on Thursday, wearing white T-shirts and pants. Once inside the defendants' cage, the spouses hugged and kissed as they had been kept apart in custody.
Their spirits seemed high and they waved to reporters. Andros, who is in his 70s, wore a big silver cross around his neck, hugged and kiss his wife Botros, 40, who still had cuffs on a single hand.
The younger couple, Hagoulf and Metyas, who have been living in Egypt since 2003, also hugged and kissed. Hagoulf carried a photograph of a baby boy she had adopted from the orphanage.
After a swift sentencing, the defendants were taken away. Police prevented the couples from speaking to the media and it was unclear if they would appeal the verdicts. Their lawyers could not immediately be reached for comment.
Seven Egyptians were also sentenced in the case, including a nun connected to the orphanage, orphanage employees and a doctor who provided fake birth certificates. Four of the seven remain at large and were sentenced in absentia. The Egyptians were sentenced to either two or five years imprisonment and their fines were equal to those of the Americans.
As the verdicts were pronounced, a sister of one of the Egyptian defendants cried Haram — Arabic for unfair or wrong.

Assent—and you are sane—
Demur—you're straightway dangerous—
And handled with a Chain—
—from "Much Madness Is Divinest Sense" by Emily Dickinson
I watched the movie Heathers for the first time on Saturday night. I piled on the couch with my family and two dogs and got excited to watch this film that my parents love dearly. Someone pressed "play" and the film opened with the song "Que Será, Será." And then…I was amazed. Not only by how great the movie was, but also by how much things have changed since 1988, the year it came out.
Have you seen Heathers? You should see Heathers. It's about a 16-year-old named Veronica and her relationship with the dangerous rebel JD. Veronica is a new and reluctant member of the most popular and powerful clique in school, the Heathers. The Heathers are three mean girls (plus Veronica), each assigned to their own color to wear, and each named Heather (plus Veronica). They belittle their classmates, and though Veronica disapproves of their bullying, she feels trapped—they'll only make her life more miserable if she defies them. She falls for the new boy, who wears black and doesn't like her "friends" very much, either. In an early scene, when two popular boys come up to JD and hassle him for talking to Veronica, he pulls out a gun and shoots blanks at them. Then we cut to a game of croquet.
My first thought was: "WHAT?! Why wasn't he expelled? Arrested?" But this was pre-Columbine. You could do stuff like that in movies back then, apparently. The faculty smoke during their meetings. And everyone's hair is SO BIG.
When I got over my shock at all of the smoking, guns, violence, and hairspray, I grew to love this film. I related to Veronica. Not because I (spoiler alert) kill people and make it look like suicide—because I don't—but in that sometimes Veronica feels like she wastes her intelligence on choosing what lip gloss to wear. I feel that way a lot—like I'm wasting time and energy on things I don't really care about; or that I know I'm better than the petty, stupid reasons I hang out with some people, just because I feel I'd rather have friends that I don't like than none at all. This logic makes no sense, but it's a very in-the-moment sort of feeling.
After lots of death, the film ended with another round of "Que Será, Será" (whatever will be, will be), and I said, out loud, "Wow." I'd never seen anything like it. None of the teen movies made nowadays are anything like this. Heathers is smart and avoids cheap cultural irony.
The fact that my parents loved this movie when they were teenagers made it less awkward to sit between them watching Winona Ryder play strip croquet and drop F-bombs. I wonder what my generation's Heathers will be? ♦

How to Sort Files by Grouping in Windows Vista
Wading through a large collection of files in Windows Vista can be time consuming. Whether you're looking at a huge list of search results or a large folder, such as Documents, you can save yourself some time by sorting the files by group.
Windows Explorer can group files together based on any of its sort columns in Details view. The biggest timesaver of these is probably grouping by Type.
Open a folder in Details view.
Try the Documents folder since it can contain several different kinds of files.
Click the Type column header.
The list of files gets sorted by file Type.
Click the down-arrow next to the column heading Type and choose Group.
Explorer breaks up the list based on file type. Looking at groups of files of similar type frequently makes it easier to pinpoint the file you want.
Don't forget that you can also group by Name and Date as well. If you group by name, for example, Explorer breaks the alphabetized list into five groups: 0 through 9, A through H, I through P, Q through Z, and "Other" (for files that start with non-alphanumeric characters).

Windows 10 RTM is near
Windows 10 will be released to manufacturing any day. There have been 5 preview releases in the last 10 days, with each release squashing more bugs, refining the interface and improving speed and reliability. As the July 29th release date approaches businesses need to get ready to evaluate Windows 10, if you haven't already, and decide on an implementation strategy. Here are a few resources to get you started.
Install Windows 10 now
If you haven't tried any of the previews, then now is the time to join the Windows Insider program and install the preview. The releases are very stable and you would be one of the first to get the final release of Windows 10. Go over to the Windows Insider site for more information. Sign up is free and so is the Windows 10 upgrade!
Read about it
If you're interested in finding out more about Windows 10 but prefer to read about it then take a look at this free ebook from Microsoft: Exploring-Windows-10 . It covers 8 of the key areas Windows 10 brings to our PC: Start Menu, Cortana, Microsoft Edge, Task View, Virtual Desktops, Windowed modern apps, Snap enhancements, and Notification Center.
Decide on a version
Another good resource to check out is the Windows 10 Comparison site or PDF . Using this guide you can do a feature comparison between the versions of Windows 10.
There is plenty of information out there on this important upcoming version of Windnows. In my opinion it has addressed the shortcomings of Windows 8.1 on the desktop and so much more. Windows XP is no longer supported and Windows 7 with SP1 ended mainstream support on January 18th 2015. So it's time to start thinking about upgrades in your environment.

A fetch is a ruthless opponent, slashing its foes with its wicked claws. Fetches always fight to the death, but are smart enough to flee when presented with fire, if they cannot attack the opponent wielding the fire. If a fetch flees from an encounter because of fire, it follows the one who presented the fire (lurking in the shadows, hiding in cover) and eventually exacts its revenge.

Environment cold plains, hills and mountains

When a murdered person is buried on frozen ground, it often returns from the grave as a fetch, an evil undead monster with a hatred of fire and the living. Fetches seek out living creatures that wander too close to their lair, kill them, and often bury them in hope that they rise from their frozen resting place as a fetch. Slain foes not buried are dragged to the fetch's lair and devoured. Fetches savor the flesh of humanoids and monstrous humanoids, in particular humans, elves, and centaurs. A fetch stands anywhere from 5 to 7 feet tall and weighs between 100 and 250 pounds. Its clothes are tattered and worn with age and exposure. Its rotting flesh is drawn tight around its bones and flushed grayish-white. Its hair is scraggly and frozen and ice crystals cover its skin. A fetch's eyes are stark blue.

We saw focus placed on tighter financial conditions in China, with the PBoC choosing to withdraw liquidity from the system and stepping back from its regular use of reverse repos. A theme to watch in the session ahead as it could promote volatility in China sensitive assets.
We can see that the trade has switched rapidly from one of positioning for outperformance from energy and materials back again into tech again, with fast money moving from one sector to another seemingly every three days. We saw stability in the US tech mega caps yesterday and overnight this stability has turned into outperformance with the S&P 500 tech space up 0.8%, while we have seen materials -0.6% and energy -0.8%. A flatter yield curve is certainly very helpful for tech share price appreciation and again one of the take-outs of overnight trade continues to be buying in the longer-end of the Treasury curve, with the US 10-year now at 2.32% (-2bp on the day).
The broader S&P 500 has seen decent range contraction, with the index trading between 2633 and 2624 and currently up just 0.1%, but on reasonable volume.
Aussie SPI futures are actually indicating a positive feel to the ASX 200 open, with SPI futures sitting at 5948 at 4:10pm AEDT (and the close of the ASX 200) and now residing at 5974. So our call is for the ASX 200 to open closer to 5968 and one suspects Aussie banks should put in the points, with the financial sector likely to be up some 0.5% or so.
In terms of overnight themes, there is still strong focus from traders on the Brexit negotiations and whether Theresa May and Arlene Foster of the DUP party can come to any agreement on Northern Ireland's borders. There continues to be optimistic remarks that all parties are having constructive talks, but the bid is coming out of GBP and GBP/USD is falling under its own weight here. It promises to be a very interesting few days, and recall next Thursday and Friday is not only the day we get a rate hike from the Federal Reserve. However, it's D-Day for Theresa May, with the EU Council making some big calls at its meeting on this same day. Waiting in the wings is Boris Johnson and Michael Gove, who could strike shortly after, if there is no formal agreement, with calls they could lead a highly publicised cabinet revolt. GBP would not like that one bit.
Much of the overnight focus has been on Trump's decision to recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and this has led to some buying of USD/ILS (Israeli shekel), but certainly the news hasn't really resonated through broader markets, as one would expect. Although some will also be watching to see if there is increased tensions between Saudi Arabia and the US from here. Outside of geo-political issues, we have seen the US ADP private payrolls show 190,000 jobs added in November, which was bang in-line with analysts' forecasts and gives us increased confidence that the 195,000 consensus call for tomorrows non-farms payrolls report will be somewhere in-line. Not that the jobs report really makes much difference anyhow, as the market has made it mind up on next weeks Fed rate decision and really if the USD and US Treasury market are to move its really going to be more about the outcome of the average hourly earnings, with expectations this increases 0.3% mom or 2.7% yoy.
As mentioned, the S&P 500 energy sector has lost ground and naturally this will happen when US and Brent crude fall over 2.5%. The large falls have mostly been attributed to the sizeable 6.78 million barrel build in gasoline inventories (as part of the Department of Energy weekly inventory report), although we did also see a 5.61 million draw in crude inventories and oil actually lost most ground going into the inventory report. Either way, oil is lower and Aussie energy names will not find too much inspiration from this.
Elsewhere in commodity land we can see iron ore, steel and coking coal futures lower by 2.6%, 1% and 2% respectively and this may weigh a touch on a few of the bulk plays. Although Vale's US-listing is down a modest 0.5% and BHP's ADR suggests an open 4c higher. Copper was all the talk yesterday after a huge fall, but stability is being seen today, as is the case with gold, which is unchanged on the day.
The AUD has been one of the weaker plays in G10 FX markets, joining the CAD and SEK, with some focus on the Bank of Canada rate decision. There is also somewhat cautious language that has eased the CAD back a touch here. AUD/USD has traded lower into $0.7557 and again, it's the bond market that everyone is focused on, with the yield differential between Aussie treasuries and US treasuries narrowing a touch. The market really didn't like the Aussie Q3 GDP print, specifically the consumer spending element, which was the weakest quarter since Q4 2008. All eyes on China today and whether they again allow liquidity to ebb out of the market.
Bitcoin has garnered further attention with price now through 13,000 and it's march continues to steamroll on. Onwards and upwards it seems and while a wall of money flows into this market every single day it seems the launch, this weekend, of the CBOE futures offering is being taken as a positive and not one where suddenly traders have a new avenue to short Bitcoin. Hedge funds do not short a market that is flying, it makes no sense…However, when price does turn and there is confusion, even panic and the bid dries up, then watch the short sellers come out in droves and this is only going to mean downside moves, when they happen, could be even bigger from here on in.

Since World War II, Europeans have been understandably skittish about doing anything that could lead to armed conflict. Europe, and later the EU, has generally stuck to using negotiations and (in extreme cases) sanctions as the only tools in their arsenal to cajole dictators and despots to get in line.
Not surprisingly, this strategy often fails.
Nevertheless, one can understand the European fear of conflict. Europe was devastated by WWII and the collective memory of the horrors of that war are still raw. Medium-sized towns in Europe lost more people in the war than America lost on 9/11.
All of this makes the recent flurry of stories about European countries being eager to recognize a Palestinian state all the more puzzling.
British Prime Minister David Cameron has said that Britain is prepared to formally recognize an independent Palestinian state in September unless Israel opens peace talks with the Palestinians. (He somehow didn't seem to notice that it has been "moderate" Mahmoud Abbas who has resisted negotiations, not Israel.)
French President Sarkozy has made a similar statement. So has Norway's foreign minister. Spain doesn't look too far behind.
Such a unilateral move is a recipe for disaster.
Negotiations are meant to solve the biggest issues between Israel and the Palestinian Arabs: Israeli towns and villages in Judea and Samaria, Arab prisoners in Israeli jails, water resources, Palestinian Arabs who live in other countries wanting to "return" to Israel, incitement to terrorism in the Palestinian Arab media and schoolbooks, Israel's security, and Jerusalem. By recognizing a state, Europe would not be solving a single one of these issues. On the contrary, they will be exacerbating them.
Today, despite these outstanding issues, there is relative peace. Palestinian Arabs in the West Bank are doing well economically, they are not worried about Israeli army actions, their travel restrictions have been consistently diminishing, and they have more autonomy than they have ever had in their history. Even in Gaza, under the autocratic rule of Hamas, as long as Hamas is stopping rocket fire the Gazans can start to gain a semblance of normal lives.
If "Palestine" is unilaterally declared, all of the gains over the past two decades would disappear in an instant.
Israel's Oslo obligations would no longer exist. Security cooperation between Israel and the new "Palestine" would disappear. The Palestinian state would consider Israel to be its enemy (this language is used daily in mainstream Palestinian Arab media). The peace treaty that the PLO signed with Israel would be null and void because the PLO would no longer exist. Israel would no longer provide electricity to Gaza – part of an enemy state. Tax revenue collected by Israel that make up 70% of the PA budget would disappear.
Most importantly, it would solve none of the issues that are outstanding in the conflict. On the contrary, it will encourage Israel to make its own unilateral moves concerning land, water, Jerusalem and so forth.
"Palestine" would not want to naturalize millions of Arabs of Palestinian descent who now live in Jordan, Syria and Lebanon, and their problem of being forced to remain stateless by the Arab League will remain. In fact, the Palestinian entity would continue to insist that they move to Israel, destroying the Jewish state demographically–a negotiating position that they have never wavered on, and a problem that is kept artificially alive by the Arab states.
Any of these issues–"refugees," land, water, Jerusalem–is enough to spark a regional conflict. Together, such a conflict is inevitable.
Only Israel has made real, concrete concessions during the long Oslo process. The PLO has not only not budged–they have bragged about their own intransigence. If the Europeans decide to recognize a Palestinian Arab state, they would be rewarding intransigence. And if that state includes Hamas, then the EU will also be explicitly rewarding terror.
One thing is certain: if a Palestinian Arab state becomes generally recognized by thttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifhe world community in September 2011, then the Palestinian Arabs who such a state is supposedly meant to help will be in a much worse situation for years, if not decades, afterwards. Terrorism–which has been successfully fought by Israel over the past eight years–will return, as the Palestinian Arab security forces would abandon all cooperation with Israel. Hezbollah and Hamas would be emboldened to increase rocket fire and other terror attacks.
More likely than not, European recognition of a Palestinian Arab state will culminate in another major Middle East war–and possibly a series of them.
Is this what the EU really wants?

Quotes About "Palestine"
Remember: Israel is bad! Its existence keeps reminding Muslims what a bunch of losers they are. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"There will be no peace until they will love their children more than they hate us."
-Golda Meir-
'If the Arabs put down their weapons today, there would be no more violence. If the Jews put down their weapons today, there would be no more Israel'
~Benjamin Netanyahu~
"Peace for us means the destruction of Israel. We are preparing for an all out war, a war which will last for generations.
~Yasser Arafat~
"The Palestinian people have no national identity. I, Yasser Arafat, man of destiny, will give them that identity through conflict with Israel."
~ Yasser Arafat ~
"The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel. For our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of Palestinian people, since Arab national interest demand that we posit the existence of a distinct 'Palestinian people' to oppose Zionism".

just a bit of defense for Lobi - a lot of the starters are used to throwing to him and like him.edit - where's a good set of stats on W/L and era for catchers games started? also how pitchers do with various catchers? By rep, Wieters is a great game caller but I don't know about Lobi. I don't want to lobby to much for jose without the data.
Any measure of a catcher's defense, aside from pop time, is purely qualitative. There are too many variables at play to look at stats such as catcher ERA.
I like this lineup:SS TurnerRF Harper3B Rendon2B Murphy1B ZimmermanLF Werth/Kendrick/LindC WietersCF Taylor
I like this lineup:SS TurnerRF Harper3B Rendon2B Murphy1B ZimmermanLF Werth/Kendrick/LindC Wieters SeverinoCF Taylor
Hard to disagree with you. Except isn't Gio going to fall off a cliff if Wieters isn't catching him?
Lineup - Turner SS - Kendrick/Werth LF - Harper RF - Murphy 2B - Zim 1B - Rendon 3B - Taylor CF - Wieters CRotation - Scherzer - Strasburg - Gonzalez - RoarkBullpen - Doolittle - Madson - Kintzler - Albers - Perez - Romero - BlantonBench - Lind 1B - Kendrick/Werth LF - Difo IF - Lobaton C - Robles OF - De Aza OFGo with longer bench, 7 man bullpen, Werth and Kendrick flip flop for who starts in LF.
Here is mine:Scherzer, Strasburg, González, RoarkDoolittle, Madson, Kintzler, Albers, Pérez, Romero, Blanton, SolísHarper, Taylor, Werth, Robles, KendrickWieters, LobatónZimmerman, Murphy, Turner, Rendon, Lind, Difo
Chelsea JanesVerified account @chelsea_janesFollowingMoreI think Vic Robles might be able to help this team in October.
No doubt Robles has earned a spot. Solis now has as well.
we're going to have quite the battle for our OF starting slots next year.
I like it with 8 RP's and the only question I have is there a chance that it's Cole over Blanton.
We have some nice options. I expect MAT to get first crack as the (mostly) everyday CF with Eaton in LF and Harper in RF. Goodwin can be the 4th OF and be a natural semi-platoon with MAT, although of course he's not going to start against every RH pitcher. Eaton can also get the occassional day off. I think Robles starts the year in AAA, then we'll kind of evaluate where we're at a month or 2 into the season. If everybody is healthy and producing, then I think you could see us shop MAT/Goodwin, or even Eaton and see what the market is and what we could get in return, then possibly deal 1 of them. We'd then roll with Harper, Robles, and 2 of those 3 as our 4 primary OFs.
Back to the postseason roster...If Goodwin and Drew can make it back this week in time to get some ABs and show something will be interesting to follow. Right now, I feel confident that in addition to the Kintlzer, Madson, Doolittle Triumphant at the back end and Albers, that Solis will join Perez as the lefties. That's 6 bullpen slots. I think Romero and Grace are left out as lefties against the Cubs. I tend to lean towards us having only 7 bullpen guys and Blanton being that last guy. I don't think there will be a designared "long man" kept. I also wouldn't aniticpate using anybody but Kintzler/Madson/Doolittle in the games Max and Stras pitch. Gio and Roark I can see being pulled after 5 unless they are really sharp, then turning it over to Albers in the 6th mixing in Perez/Solis against tough lefties.
Semi-agree, except Goodwin and Taylor were both inexplicably better vs. LHP this year. Not sure if fluke.Robles should at least stay down long enough to regain his super 2. Think of when Trea came up last year.This should probably be a breakaway thread for next year's outfield.

Karwa Chauth' is a ritual of fasting observed by married Hindu women seeking the longevity, well-being and prosperity of their husbands. It is popular amongst married women in the northern and western parts of India,...some of my friends are doing the same ,took some time to deck up and fasting whole day for their hubbies and having some good time in the evening with food and rituals!!
I remember in our college days every gurl wanted a handsome and rich husband ...this was their Aim of life ...and to reach this goal they observed many fasts and every other thing...I always wondered who will marry a poor guy?I being a very very emotional person once declared " I will marry a poor Guy"no matter what!!everybody was stunned at my words as if it was a crime I did! ...they looked at both my palms ..I have a beautiful crescent moon if I join both my hands...they said "tumhara pati chand sa hoga " (your husband will be handsome)but with poor guy you will get a ride on bicycle and we will get ride in a car they mocked at me!!...I had tears in my eyes (as if I was really married to a poor guy)I declared after sometime I will also get married to a rich guy ...it was age of innocence and myths,,,,We then went to a baba to know our future(the one sitting on the road)and wanted to know about future ...everybody asked the same question (where is our husband?) the baba was actually surprised looking at us...sayin CRAZY!!one of our friends she was keen on going to Switzerland ..actually asked Baba will I go to Switzerland for Honeymoon?baba had no idea about where switzerland was... baba said"woh kahan hai bacche"(where is that kid?)
another one of my friends smiled and said "HELL"
so all of got married ..to nice guys...but none of the prediction was correct...except mine ..Baba had said "tumhara bahar ka sanjog hai"(you will settle in abroad) I was actually very happy at that time ...(it was a big achievement for me for those who said I would get a ride on "bicycle")I was on seventh heaven..as if I was moving in US itself...ha haa haaa
...so time passed away ..karwa chauth came and went....I never got decked up the way my hubby wants...the very thought of decking up like Indian soaps stars makes me laugh loudly ...he is in Canada right now...called me and asked me again, so this year your are getting decked up like indian soap stars? I laughed..ok but how do I break the fast since you are not right here....
IT CAN BE ON SKYPE ... he said...(LOL)

WOW!!!, nice blog overall. My comment is about your friend Anu's expectations entry. It was an interesting entry. I have to say, I am very lucky to be married to the guy she is looking for. Everything that and much more, that she is looking for. But there is just one issue, I loved this guy when he had none of these. Of course he was tall and handsome.But the riches and doctor and car, and house part was missing. I will be with him and love him, even if he was not all this. True love and life partnerships cannot end and start at riches, physique, degrees, his large family, that I love very much (just becoz that family had him first before me). First you have to love someone, just for them and every thing else comes later. All those perfect things and no true love cannot make a marriage last.
When I am preaching all this, mine is just a 9 yr old marriage. I am not a an old women taking about times that are long gone.
So be honest to yoruself and the other person, and love someone more then yourself,and you can be happy without any thing at all.

-@Anonymous...Okkkkkkkay.sweetie.Got ya...life is like roller coaster ride...all rich people can be poor or vice versa...but...we do have expectations and we r humans...to be true..to myself and honest...I love my guy sincerely ...he says "you are my lucky charm" brought me all the wealth of happiness..thats his love makes him say that...but I jus cant or cud marry someone sitting or begging on the street ..ought to have some family values or something professional ..grounded and if gets poor in future has some talent or zest to get back his stuff,,,I mean all parents think same way for their daughters..
As far Anu is concerned ..she is an IT engineer herself ..why wud she look for someone uneducated as you have quoted her here...every person has right to choose..and has some expectations from life partner...it works both ways for men and women...whats wrong in that?
If you married a guy with no expectations jus love its gr8....but each person is different sweetie..I dun wanna a sound rude..but life runs on many things not jus love...it flies out window after sometime...for a healthy relations all ingredients are essential..
thanks and tC

Did not mean to offend you or your friend. Inspite of all the perfect things in place, marriage is something that needs much more to work. Never mind, Just notifced that you are in Canton, MI, we live pretty close by.

@Anonymous...Oh really..where in Canton?? temme ..I know many indians here!!! personally and by face....whats ur name and Id..we can meet and be good friends..whats ur husband doin?
I wud appreciate if u tell me...it wud be wonderful!!!
- November 4, 2010 at 9:16 PM
We moved to MI recently from Chicago. I donot know many ppl here. My hubby is a doc and me a software engineer. I had a baby couple of months back, so I donot get out much. Hopefully will meet you soon. My hubby is from Punjab too. Hopefully we will meet soon.

Nickel Beer Co.
1485 Hollow Glen Road, Julian
O'Brien's Pub
4646 Convoy Street, Kearny Mesa
Last year, I had the pleasure of collaborating in the brewing of an English-style extra special bitter (ESB) aptly named Bitter Beer Writer. It was the idea of Tom Nickel, the owner and brewmaster at Julian's Nickel Beer Co. Coming up with the beer recipe with him gave me extra appreciation for the brewer's art. For the most part, he and I determined what we wanted the final product to look, smell, and taste like as well as the level of alcohol we wanted to hit. From there, he ran a scan of his award-winning brewing knowledge banks then suggested hops, a yeast strain, and malt varieties and percentages for the grain bill. Though my contribution to the brew day was solely manual labor, it was an educational experience I cherish. So, when Nickel brought up the idea to collaborate again, I eagerly jumped on board for round two.
We kicked around the idea of redoing Bitter Beer Writer, but I wanted to try our hands at a Belgian-style beer. At first, a dubbel seemed the way to go, something caramely and bready to go with the cooler temperatures during its winter debut. But as we discussed brewing the beer, we both started leaning toward the bigger end of the spectrum, craving bolder flavors and higher alcohol-by-volume (ABV). In the end, we opted to brew the largest of Belgian abbey ales, a quadrupel, and dub it Double Dubbel.
As with our previous collaboration, Nickel took the reins in recipe development. He had a healthy batch of Westmalle Trappist ale yeast bubbling away in one of his fermenters and figured it would be ideal to take on the multitude of sugars (brown sugar and candi syrup) and specialty malts (Special B, Midnight Wheat, Dark English Crystal). He was right. Even in the cold of a Julian January, that yeast tore through the wort, which was hopped with German Polaris and contained a touch of nutmeg (grated by yours truly), imparting their flavorful esters along the way. The result is a quad in the high nines, ABV-wise, with plenty of caramel and dark fruit notes.
After deciding to collaborate, I presented the idea of including Double Dubbel in the Beer to the Rescue campaign benefitting the Lupus Foundation of Southern California (LFSC). Nickel graciously agreed and, as part of that charity effort, this beer will debut at a special release event at one of his other businesses, O'Brien's Pub (4646 Convoy Street, Kearny Mesa) at 5 p.m. on Friday, February 6. I will be on-hand (duh, there's an awesome quad there) with representatives from the LFSC, who will have literature on lupus and some really cool Beer to the Rescue t-shirts for sale. And stay tuned, some of this beer is being funneled into rum barrels for aging and will reemerge later this year as "Double Dubbel, Animal Style!"

Celebrating 25 years of fabulous fashion, food
When The Forum Shops opened at Caesars Palace on May 11, 1992, it spanned nearly 300,000 square feet and boasted 70 stores.
"When we opened, it was a different entity and hadn't been proven yet," said Maureen Crampton, director of marketing and business development, who has been with The Forum Shops since its grand opening. "It was dedicated to retail and dining, and was adjacent to a casino, and nothing like it had been done in the retail world."
As The Forum Shops celebrates its 25th anniversary, Crampton said the overall appearance of the Roman-themed destination hasn't changed much.
"We're a destination-driven shopping center that never changes in ambiance, and there's some validity behind that," she said. "Our evolution is really based around the movement and change in our retail experiences."
Since opening, The Forum Shops has undergone two expansions in order to increase its tenant roster.
The first, which Crampton calls "Phase Two," occurred in August 1997 when 35 stores were added.
"When we opened our doors, it was an instant success, so anyone who was interested in the original grand opening and decided not to jump onboard finally did," she said. "We built toward the back of the building and brought in Nike and The Cheesecake Factory, which hadn't been brought to Las Vegas before."
Just seven years later, in October 2004, The Forum Shops expanded toward Las Vegas Boulevard and added 57 more stores.
"We wanted to bring The Forum Shops closer to the pedestrian traffic so we brought it out, and it was more of a vertical build with a spiral escalator and three levels as opposed to one," Crampton said. "By spreading out further, it made it easier for people to access the front of the building."
The Forum Shops now boasts 160 specialty shops and restaurants, including originals Victoria's Secret, Gucci, Versace, Antiquities, Armani Exchange, Spago and The Palm Restaurant.
"We're lucky because we have many of our original tenants, and it gives you that sense of family, which is really fun," Crampton said. "The tenants keep us fresh with their merchandise, store design and displays."
She added that The Forum Shops' success can be attributed to three things.
"It's a combination of our location on one of the busiest corners of Las Vegas and the world; the fact that we're connected to Caesars; and our world-renowned retailers and restaurants," Crampton said. "We're on the list of must-sees when you're in Vegas, and that comes with time and reputation, and we're really proud of the fact that we're recognized throughout the world."
One of the most recent change at The Forum Shops include the addition of a digital pylon marquee on Las Vegas Boulevard, which was recommended by the shopping destination's owner, Simon Property Group.
"We've always been traditional in our approach, and after talking to our corporate team, we recognized it was important to have a visual representation of The Forum Shops along Las Vegas Boulevard," Crampton said.
She added the sign is 85 feet tall and that it's slated to go live in the middle of May.
"It provides that 'wow' factor, and it'll be state-of-the-art and vibrant," Crampton said. "It will make us pop."
The Forum Shops also added new concept stores last year.
"They're not a cart or kiosk," Crampton said. "They're clear-glass stores that are accessible through a door, but the walls are glass so you can see the inventory no matter where you are."
The new concept stores are Creed, a fragrance company, and MCM leather goods.
"It was really to embellish the fact that you have a lot of foot traffic, and it makes sense to add these freestanding boutiques to make it easy for consumers to look and see the inventory, what that brand has to offer, and it's visually appealing and different for us," Crampton said. "It was a perfect fit."
Though The Forum Shops has had a successful 25-year run, Crampton said the 683,000-square-foot shopping center hasn't been immune to changes in the retail industry, which include more shoppers turning to the internet.
"It's affected every retail venue throughout the country, but after chatting with investors a while ago, they said, 'You've got to feel special about your position in the retail world,' and we definitely do," Crampton said. "We don't have any deportment stores to anchor us, shoppers still want an experiential dynamic, and they want to be in awe of the atmosphere and try things on."
She added, "We're also part of the whole experience of visiting Las Vegas and buying something, taking it home and having a memento from your trip."
Of the nearly 43 million visitors who flocked to Las Vegas this past year, 32 million visited The Forum Shops, and many hailed from countries like Japan, India and Brazil.
"We did something different in 1992, and it's withstood all these years, proving our business model to be a true success," Crampton said. "We have new retailers and businesses that want to be part of The Forum Shops family, and it's a great statement after all these years."
