S&P SEPT FUTURES (SPm6)
Contact: email@example.com
2074-6, 2067-8, 2040-2 Support
2086-7, 2092-3, 2100-3 Resistance
S&P Futures: (2-3 days)- Bullish- The rally continued to make ground and breadth has improved a bit to suggest a likely test and move above early June highs in the weeks ahead. For now, Resistance lies at 2079-80, then 2092, 2099-2100.
EuroSTOXX 50- Bullish-Tuesday saw a mild continuation of Monday's advance, and technically it looks like last week's lows probably hold for now and give way to movement back up to 3150.
Hang Seng China Enterprise index- HSCEI looks tobe setting up for a larger bounce which would be confirmed on movement back over 9058
Attractive Technical Risk/reward Equity Longs
Attractive Technical Risk/reward Shorts:
1) US Equities remain "Best in Breed" and the rally still looks to move higher in the short-run, regardless of the uncertainty and fear surrounding the upcoming BREXIT vote. The recent strength in Industrials, Consumer Discretionary and now Technology is important to highlight as the rally starts to broaden out a bit, and breadth continues to rise. Movement up to test and exceed 2110 looks likely.
2) Gold's pullback today was important, and negative, confirming the 1277 level as being important, Additional weakness looks likely in the days ahead, particularly if the DXY gets above 96. Near-term, while many remain fearful of how to position prior to the BREXIT vote, selling gold and Silver here technically makes sense, expecting further trend deterioration in the weeks ahead.
3) Bond selloff supports more weakness in Treasuries which could help Financials. The Selloff over the last couple days has helped the 2-year yield reclaim the area of its former consolidation, which many feared was in jeopardy of breaking down, while 10-year Treasury yields also recaptured 1.70% a big deal given the amount of weakness of late. This bond selloff should be particularly bullish for Financials
S&P has now reclaimed much of what was lost into last week, when prices pulled back to just above May lows. The resulting bounce in the face of BREXIT uncertainty can be called nothing short of resilient for Equities, and has occurred largely on strength in "Good" sectors like Technology and Consumer Discretionary, Industrials, while Financials perked up today on signs of yields rallying back. Overall, breadth has been improving of late and a move back over 2110 is likely in the weeks ahead, so pullbacks into, or after BREXIT vote should be used to buy.
US 10year Yields made decent progress in getting back over 1.70% in Tuesday's trading, which was important before as an area of support and now to resistance, which looks to have been exceeded. Without any guidance as to what the UK vote will be, Yields look to have made a fairly large reversal Tuesday and should continue to trend up, which in turn should be good for Financials and serve as a tailwind for stocks.
The Energy sector looks set for continued gains after rallying right back to former peaks after just a minimal amount of weakness in Crude over recent days which was immediately recouped. XLE vs SPX looks poised to push back to new monthly highs, and in the short run is in better technical shape than OIH when looking relatively to SPX.
Bloomberg Grains index showed more dramatic signs of downside acceleration on Tuesday, which resulted from sharp drawdowns in both Corn and Soybeans. Seasonality suggests this period in June is typically sub-par for Grains, but one should look to buy dips if prices get anywhere near 50-62% of the prior rally, as intermediate-term momentum remains quite positive as a result of the strength from February into early June. ETFs to consider buying on any further weakness in the weeks ahead to capture this dip in the Grains center around DBA.

David Taylor, CM's production editor, visits one of the most impressive car collections in America
The town of Tupelo in Mississippi is probably best known as the birthplace of Elvis Presley. The King grew up in poverty in a 'shotgun shack' (so called because if you opened the front and back doors you could literally fire a shotgun straight through the house) until moving to Memphis, 100 miles away, with his family when he was 13 years old.
Less well known is that Tupelo is also the home to one of the most impressive and expansive private car collections in America, now housed within the Tupelo Automobile Museum. This is the collection of Frank Spain, a local businessman whose obsession with anything on four wheels led him to scour the world for the finest cars ever built, often driving them home across continents.
Opened in 2002, the museum is located in a quite non-descript industrial estate, looking for all the world like a factory warehouse. Once through the doors and you're in a sort of automotive wonderland, laid out like the world's biggest car workshop, complete with vintage period signage and advertising.
Whereas most American auto enthusiasts tend to focus on US marques and muscle cars, Spain was a real Europhile, so the collection includes rare and limited edition examples from Morgan, Rolls-Royce, Alvis, Jaguar, Aston Martin, MG and Jensen, as well as such cult items as Messerschmitt and BMW Isetta bubblecars, a Citroën 2CV and a DeLorean DMV.
The cars themselves are laid out in chronological order, starting with an 1886 Benz (one of the few replicas in the museum) and progressing through to a 1994 Dodge Viper with just 12 miles on the odometer. There are more than ten cars from each decade from 1900 to 1990, with more than 100 cars on permanent display at any time. There's also a workshop for ongoing restorations, as well as a calendar of temporary exhibitions of everything from drag racers to pedal cars.
Among the rarest cars in the collection are the sole surviving 1915 Trumbull, one of only six surviving 1912 Cartercars with its friction drive engine, and one of only 51 examples of the Tucker 48 produced (it's car no 1028).
There's also the Leslie Special Convertible specially built for Tony Curtis to drive in the 1963 movie The Great Race, as well as a Lincoln Mark IV bought by Elvis Presley and later given to Captain Jerry Kennedy, one-time member of the Denver Police Force and the man responsible for handling security at Presley's concerts.
It took Frank Spain more than 30 years to amass his collection and it is currently valued at more than $10 million. Since Frank's death, the museum has been run by his wife, Jane, who has realised his dream of keeping the collection together rather than being sold and split up.

9 GIFs That Sum Up My Feelings About Cheese
Being lactose intolerant, I have an ongoing love/hate relationship with cheese. I love some of it, I dislike some of it, and all of it hates me with the passion of a thousand burning anuses.
Bloating and gas aside, it's irresistible. How do I love cheese? Let me count the ways:
1. Provolone
Two words: Chicken Parmigiana.
I'm rethinking my sanctimonius vegetarian lifestyle choice.
2. Swiss
Behold the holiest of holy cheeses.
3. Limburger
Edibles should not ever smell like rotting corpse feet.
4. Mozzarella
Melty string cheese + fried batter = total mouthgasm.
5. Bleu Cheese
Chunks of penicillin mold are a good thing if you're prone to syphilis, I guess.
6. Gouda
Bad for puns (it's so gooood-a, ha-ha-ha) but great for just about everything else—
7. Smoked Gouda
—including a post-sex snack.
8. American
Nothing finishes a sandwich quite like our own homegrown processed cheese substance.
9. Mascarpone
Like a life without dancing, a life without tiramisu is no life at all.

2015 U.S. Supreme Court State Tax Case Insights and Takeaways
2015 has been a big year for United States Supreme Court state tax cases. It has not been since the early 1990s that the Supreme Court took up so many tax cases.
Supreme Court State Tax Cases of 1992
1992 was a high point for Supreme Court cases concerning state taxes. Four landmark cases were decided. In Quill v. North Dakota, the Supreme Court upheld National Bellas Hess's physical presence nexus requirement for sales tax under the Commerce Clause, but overturned it to the extent that it was based on the Due Process Clause which had previously prohibited Congress from overriding the physical nexus requirement via legislation. In Allied Signal v. New Jersey, the Court held that the Commerce Clause forbade New Jersey from taxing a non-unitary gain on a sale of stock by including it in a taxpayer's apportionable income tax base. In Kraft v. Iowa, the Court held that a statute that taxed dividends received from foreign subsidiaries but not dividends received from U.S. domestic subsidiaries discriminated against foreign commerce. And, in Wrigley v. Wisconsin, the Court interpreted P.L. 86-272 which prohibits states from imposing income tax on an out-of-state company which limits its activities in a taxing state to solicitation of orders to be fulfilled from outside of the state. Obviously, these are high-level summaries of the holdings. The devil is in the details of each.
Supreme Court State Tax Cases of 2015
In 2015, the Supreme Court issued opinions in three cases: Alabama Dept. of Revenue v. CSX Transportation, Inc. (property tax); Direct Marketing Association v. Brohl (sales tax); and, Maryland v. Wynne (income tax). Coincidentally, each of these cases has something in common with a 1992 decision, although the connections range from tenuous to direct.
Alabama v. CSX
The CSX case, like Wrigley, involved an interpretation of a federal statute that restricts a state's authority to impose certain taxes, i.e. 4-R Act which prohibits states from imposing taxes that discriminate against a rail carrier. The Court held that exempting CSX's main competitors from Alabama's sales tax is discriminatory as to rail carriers in violation of the 4-R Act in that Alabama had not offered a sufficient justification for this exemption.
While the CSX case is similar to Wrigley in that it pertains to a federal act restricting states' power to tax, it is quite different in the narrow scope of its direct impact. The 4-R Act is limited to railroads as compared to P.L. 86-272 which has widespread applicability.
Nonetheless, one take away from CSX is that it is very important to identify the comparison class. Oftentimes, but certainly not always, one could observe that the identity of the comparison class can be outcome determinative.
DMA v. Brohl
The DMA case pertains to the Tax Injunction Act which provides that federal district courts "shall not enjoin, suspend or restrain the assessment, levy or collection of any tax under state law where a plain, speedy and efficient remedy may be had in the courts of such state."
Colorado had put in place a use tax information reporting scheme that required out-of-state retailers to: [i] notify Colorado purchasers that Colorado requires purchasers to pay use tax and file a tax return; [ii] provide a report to Colorado purchasers listing their purchases; and, [iii] provide a report listing Colorado purchasers, addresses and total amounts. This scheme also imposed penalties for failure to comply.
Unlike the vast majority of state tax cases, this case was being considered by the federal courts. The question before the Supreme Court was whether the Tax Injunction Act barred the federal court's consideration of Colorado's use tax reporting scheme. The U.S. Supreme Court held that it was not because the statutes did not enjoin, suspend or restrain the assessment, levy or collection of any tax. The Court, however, did not address the Comity Doctrine which counsels federal courts to refrain from interfering with fiscal operations of state governments.
Again, similar to the CSX case, the DMA case would not, at first blush, appear to be of wide spread interest. However, Justice Kennedy, in his concurrence made the following statement:
"Given these changes in technology and consumer sophistication, it is unwise to delay any longer a reconsideration of the Court's holding in Quill, a case questionable even when decided. Quill now harms states to a degree far greater than could have been anticipated earlier."
Obviously, one Supreme Court Justice has some interest in the Court considering whether the Quill physical presence test should be changed. If Quill were to be overturned, then the states could be anticipated to impose a collection responsibility on out-of-state remote sellers with no physical presence in the testing state.
Interestingly, as noted above, Quill itself was a challenge to National Bellas Hess. One can anticipate that the states will attempt to provide the Court with an opportunity to review Quill.
It is one Justice's opinion. Whether or not the rest of the Justices would agree with Justice Kennedy's apparent disposition would obviously be a matter for the Court.
Maryland v. Wynne
The Wynne case involved a challenge under the Commerce Clause to Maryland's "county tax" on all of the income of an S corporation owned by a married couple residing in Maryland, without allowing a credit for tax paid to other states. The Court of Appeals of Maryland, the state's highest court, held that the county individual income tax was not fairly apportioned, in violation of both the internal consistency and the external consistency tests and also discriminated against commerce with interstate activities being taxed more than intrastate activities.
Notably, Maryland's county tax scheme differs from the local tax scheme which is prevalent in Kentucky. Localities in Kentucky subject individuals and businesses to tax on income from sources within the locality. This is different from the Kentucky state individual income tax scheme, which subjects all of a resident's income to tax and provides a credit for income taxes paid to other states. Maryland's county tax scheme is thus somewhat similar to Kentucky's state tax scheme (though without the credit), but different from the local tax scheme. The state model of taxing all of a resident's income and providing a credit for state taxes paid to other states is prevalent in states imposing an individual income tax.
The Court held that Maryland's county income tax scheme failed the internal consistency test, using hypotheticals to demonstrate through the internal consistency test that Maryland's tax scheme is inherently discriminatory and operates as a tariff. This was fatal to the Maryland county tax scheme because a tariff is a paradigmatic example of a law discriminating against interstate commerce. Accordingly, the Court held that the county tax system violated the Commerce Clause.
One can anticipate challenges to state and local taxes similar to that of Maryland's county tax.
After a relatively long drought of considering state tax cases, the United States Supreme Court has seemingly warmed up to providing guidance in this area which is important to taxpayers and state and local governments alike. Hopefully, the Court will continue to consider important state cases like these.

Statutory Notice
Alteration to Stonebridge Primary School
Notice is given in accordance with section 19(3) and 21(2) of the Education and Inspections Act 2006 (as amended by the Education Act 2011) that the Governing Body of Stonebridge Primary School intends to make a prescribed alteration to Stonebridge Primary School (Community), Shakespeare Avenue, Stonebridge, NW10 8NG (Department for Education number 3042057). The school has a nursery which provides 30 places which will be retained.
Stonebridge Primary School is a community school with a planned admission number of 420 places (2 forms of entry i.e. 2 classes in each year group) for boys and girls between the ages of 4 – 11. In addition the school agreed to take an additional 180 temporary places in an Annex building. In summary there are currently 600 places between both sites. The proposal is to increase the places to 630 on one site.
Brent Council in partnership with the Governing Body of Stonebridge Primary School is consulting with staff, parents and the community on the option to expand the school by one form of entry (1FE) to become a 3 form entry school (3FE). The expansion will provide an additional 30 permanent places (1 class in each year group). The increase of places commenced on a temporary basis at the Stonebridge Primary School Annexe in Autumn 2012. In the event of permanent expansion being approved, these places would become permanent and continue to be available each year within the main school site. If the proposal to expand is approved the temporary places will officially become permanent places until there are three classes in each year group.
The enlarged Stonebridge Primary School will continue to offer mixed provision for pupils in Reception to Year 6 and the school will remain a Community school.
The proposed accommodation for the expansion would be of a permanent high quality construction adjacent to the main school building. It will be designed to optimise educational standards and include leading class facilities that will maximise the learning and teaching environment e.g. greater natural light, optimal room sizes, level access, direct circulation both around the building and linking with the outside space. The main building will remain largely as existing with some internal improvements. The one school site will then accommodate all 630 children. Pupils in the Stonebridge Primary School Annexe will move to the main site in the least disruptive way for them and the school organisation. All 630 places will be permanent places.
The Local Authority has completed a feasibility study which confirms that the provision of one additional forms of entry primary provision is possible within the current school site, subject to planning permission. All applicable statutory requirements to consult in relation to these proposals have been complied with. There will be no change to the existing Special Educational Needs arrangements at the school. There will be no change to the current admission arrangements at the school.
This Notice is an extract from the complete proposal. Copies of the complete proposal can be obtained from: Judith Joseph, School Place Planning Officer, Children and Families, London Borough of Brent, 5th Floor, Brent Civic Centre, Engineers Way, Wembley, HA9 0FJ. Email: email@example.com
Within four weeks from the date of publication of this proposal any person may object to or make comments on the proposal in writing by sending them to Judith Joseph, School Place Planning Officer, Children and Families, London Borough of Brent, 5th Floor, Brent Civic Centre, Engineers Way, Wembley, HA9 0FJ. Email: email@example.com. The last date for representations is Thursday 2 April 2015
Signed: The Governing Body, Stonebridge Primary School
Publication Date: Thursday 5 March 2015
Explanatory Notes
- All children currently on roll at Stonebridge Primary School and its annexe will remain pupils of Stonebridge Primary School.
- If expansion is approved all 630 places at Stonebridge School will become permanent places.

Anna "Wildcat" Griffin is the stuff legends are made of and, without a doubt, she is a legend in the annals of Kiado-Ryu history.
Beginning her martial art journey as a young teen, Anna grew to become one of the toughest and most courageous of warriors while still a teenager. During her ascent, her focus and drive were extraordinary, as was her ambition. Wildcat, and she was definitely a wild cat as anyone who ever fought her can testify, hunted her Black Belt rating like a panther in the wild. She was absolutely fearless and indomitable.
Anna's exceptional courage and toughness are revealed in the following story.
One evening while she was sparring with the brown and black belt men, she clashed forearms with her opponent and was knocked out cold, falling to the ground unconscious. She eventually came to, shook off the cobwebs and went home. Unbelievably, the next night Anna was back in the studio fighting again with the brown and black belt men! No one in Kiado-Ryu history has ever rebounded with such tenacity and absolute fearlessness. Pound for pound, breath for breath, Anna Griffin is as courageous as any martial artist in the history of the KIA and is, poignantly, the stuff of legends.
Wildcat's character, not just her courage, is exemplary. She has never asked for special treatment, has been unwaveringly accountable for her actions, is as honest as the day is long, and, to top it off, is sweet and respectful. Indeed, Anna Griffin is a true role model and a major asset in the long and distinguished legacy of the Kiado-Ryu. We are ever grateful to have her as one of our own.

With a critical fundraising deadline approaching on Wednesday evening, a host of congressional candidates in tight races are trying to draw Sarah Palin into the race. And not just Republicans.
At least four different House Democrats, who have been specifically targeted by Palin for their health care reform votes, sent out fundraising appeals on Wednesday using the former Alaska governor to solicit donations.
Rep. Suzanne Kosmas (D-FL.), in a tough race in Florida, emailed supporters the following under the title, "Help Send Sarah Palin a Message":
In a recent attempt to mobilize her Tea Party supporters after they failed to "Kill the Bill," Sarah Palin said "Don't Retreat, Reload."
Now Sarah Palin has literally put my Congressional district in the bullseye, attempting to kill our momentum and take back Florida's 24th Congressional District. She has specifically identified me as one of the top four targets for defeat this November.
Rep. Chris Carney (D-Penn.), a critical vote on health care reform, emailed supporters:
I don't care who comes after me – Sarah Palin can put a target on our district – it's not going to stop me from standing up for what we know is right; bringing jobs and resources to PA-10.
Rep. Kathy Dahlkemper (D-Penn), sent the following solicitation from her campaign committee:
With the first fundraising deadline of 2010 fast approaching at 11:59pm tonight, Wednesday, March 31st, Kathy needs your help. After voting YES on Healthcare and standing up for us, she is now being targeted by Sarah Palin and special interests from outside of Pennsylvania.
Rep. Betsy Markey (D-CO), meanwhile, had a fundraising solicitation sent out from Wes Clark's PAC under the header, "What Palin wants."
Well, last week's passage of the historic health care reform bill provided her some clarity. Immediately after President Obama signed the bill, Palin asked her radical supporters to "target" 20 Democrats, complete with crosshairs taking aim at each of them.
Two of them our Clark community helped elect: Rep. Betsy Markey (CO-04) and Rep. Chris Carney (PA-10). When called upon, they stood up courageously and voted for reform. Now Sarah Palin and the right wing have targeted them for defeat.
Each of these four candidates was placed on Palin's list of 20 House Democrats to be targeted for their votes on health care reform — which it seems they view as a blessing of sorts. Caught in tight races, the lawmakers are using the conservative lightning rod to nationalize the election and draw in more money and attention.
And with little apparent downside — as the prominent Democratic pollster Stan Greenberg pointed out Wednesday morning, Palin, for many, has come to symbolize the edge of acceptable conservative politics (the line of demarcation between Tea Party extremism and mainstream Republicanism).
"Sarah Palin is becoming the face of the Republican Party in part to keep the Republican Party under control," he said, during a breakfast sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor. "But the face of the Republican Party to the country is not the Tea Party, it is Sarah Palin."
Greenberg's colleague, James Carville was a bit blunter.
"Do me a favor, call five Democratic consultants and leave them a message and say, 'I'm doing a story on Sarah Palin'. Then call five Republican consultants and see who returns your call," he said, pausing for laughter from the gathered reporters. "Democrats will be on the phone so fast."

Samsung is celebrating worldwide sales of more than 5 million Galaxy Note II devices just two months after its release.
The electronics giant announced the milestone in a translated news release less than 30 days after the South Korean company reported selling 3 million of the super-sized smartphones.
A Samsung spokeswoman confirmed in an email that the Galaxy Note II has surpassed 5 million in sales since its debut in late September, adding that the original Galaxy Note took about five months to reach 5 million in global sales.
The Note II is now on sale in all regions, the release said, including Asia, Europe, North America, South America, the Middle East, and Africa. The device, which boasts a 5.5-inch, 1,280-by-720-pixel display is available on all major U.S. carriers Verizon Wireless, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and U.S. Cellular, and runs on Google's Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean operating system. For $299, customers also snag a 1.6-GHz, quad-core Exynos processor, optimized for LTE networks, as well as 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage, plus a microSD card for expandable storage up to 64GB.
Samsung's oversized phone/tablet is still lagging behind Samsung's flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S III, which was confirmed earlier this month to have sold more than 30 million devices in five months. The device swept the smartphone market in the third quarter alone, besting the iPhone 4S with 18 million Galaxy S III shipments 11 percent of the smartphone market.
The smartphone maker may have another trick up its sleeve, with rumors of a Galaxy S IV device making the rounds last week. Samsung might provide a first look at the phone during January's CES or February's Mobile World Congress. A Korean newspaper reported that the new phone will feature a high-definition, 4.99-inch screen with a 1,920-by-1,080-pixel display a jump in the pixels-per-inch from the S III.

Salesforce's announcement to acquire AppExchange partner Koral hints at the expansive vision Benioff has for the company's role in the emerging on-demand enterprise applications space (think Enterprise 2.0). While the move has implications for existing on-premise CRM and business apps Gorillas like Oracle, SAP and Microsoft, it also changes the on-premise ECM landscape as well… while strengthening the value of the Salesforce AppExchang engine in the SMB space.
Strategically, it is also a powerful proof-point on the value of the App-Exchange community as a source of inorganic growth for Salesforce… and a move that highlights the complementary differences between Salesforce.com and fellow leader in the on-demand apps – Google.
I believe Salesforce is building a portfolio of on-demand enterprise capability that remains complementary to the Google vision for Enterprise 2.0 on-demand business applications and search. While I agree that sooner or later Salesforce and Google may collide, I believe the introduction of "ContentExchange" is a calculated move to further illustrate the complementary value of a Google-Salesforce view of Enterprise 2.0.
Nick Carr offers his take on the announcement and suggests we should start thinking about Salesforce v. Google competition.
"It's illuminating to think of Salesforce and Google as competitors because their distinctive strengths point to some of the future terms of rivalry in the new IT market. Salesforce's strength lies in the customer interface – not just the friendly interface of its software services but its Benioff-fueled prowess as a marketer to businesses. Google, to put it generously, is relatively weak in those areas. Where Google's strength lies is in the back-end infrastructure. Its network of data centers, and the software that connects them, presents a forbidding technological (and financial) challenge to other vendors seeking to "own" all of a client's data.
Both Google and Salesforce are still small fish in the ocean of enterprise data. But as they swim ahead of the fat bottom-feeders of the old IT market, they may at the moment be the most interesting fish in the sea."

Casey Serin is back!
I'm extremely happy to report that my dear old friend, Casey Serin, is back on the internet, and better than ever.
Casey and me have been friends for a long time. I recall when I used to defend him on the FuckedCompany boards – I always knew the kid had it in him, and being from the same area (Sac) I felt the need to share the wisdom of my years with someone that shared my interests, outlook on life and work ethics.
It seems all my effort wasn't in vain. Casey got a job with Angel Lynn, a Sacramento State Realtor.
I'm extremely proud to report my protege and good friend is now the Marketing Director for her, and has taken over her blog. His extreme passion for blogging and knowledge is apparent on every single post he makes. Plus, and let's be honest here – those girls are extremely cute (not that Casey would ever notice, BTW).
Thinking back, it's good to see kid did so good. How many of you people can claim to have a $600,000 debt (approximately) and not be worried at all about little details like the police, FBI, or mom and dad's retirements funds?
I'm so happy about Casey Serin. And congratulations to Angel Lynn, Casey's next victim success story!
Go Casey Go!

Hi there! And welcome to my blog!
I'm Brenda, and I LOVE my job. Being able to do something for a living that never really feels like "work" is amazing. I am a 2005 graduate of the University of Georgia where I studied art and photography. Since then I started digging my heels into all areas of photography, trying to find my niche. Once I tagged along as a second shooter at a wedding with a friend, I knew I had found it. I love that I get to be a part of such an important day in people's lives and document it for generations to pass on.

We once again worked with NHL on developing the identity for the 2011 NHL Winter Classic in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, hosted by none other than the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Our journey through Pittsburgh to Heinz Field revealed much of the history behind the great "Steel CIty," and led us to the Fort Pitt Bridge, which crowns the primary mark. Other elements of steel and the city's industrious heritage were used to frame the logo and create theme art. After being decorated with ice and frost, the program was ready to go!

My wife gets offers from a company called Savemore that offers Groupon-style deals. She saw an offer to buy $24 worth of coffee from Roaste.com, for only $12; would I be interested?
My coffee-buying habit is to order expensive, really great fair trade coffee from some fine artisanal coffee seller, for something in the neighborhood of $40 (including shipping). For that, I get less than two pounds of coffee. I'm always horrified at the high cost (and since the coffee crop is under attack from global weather changes, the prices always go up). In fact, buying coffee by the cup at Starbucks is more expensive, but I always compare the cost to cheap coffee, which costs six to ten dollars the pound.
I make up for my extravagance by buying the next few pounds at the supermarket, and then I'm ready to buy "fancy" coffee again. I looked into Roaste.com to see what they had.
Roaste is a new (to me) kind of online coffee seller. Their website features many fascinating coffee brands from what Amazon would call affiliates. At the Roaste site, you can buy from such well-known brands as Caribou and even Starbucks, but they feature many, many brands with intriguing names; if you're not careful, your brain will tell you that you have fallen into coffee heaven.
I kept reminding myself that Roaste might not be coffee heaven; what counts is the quality of each affiliate that interests you, and you have to check these brands out for yourself.
I was also concerned about the price of shipping. Ever since coffee has become more expensive, the price of (coffee) shipping has risen even more. You have to wonder whether some of that "shipping" cost is extra profit for the coffee seller. I purchased the Savemore coupon while worrying that the cost of shipping might wipe out the $12 I was saving by buying the coupon. (Actually, I believe I am saving $10, because Savemore charged me two dollars for something.)
So here's what happened when I went to the Roaste.com website, selected my coffees, entered my order and checked out the shipping cost. Here's what I saw on the page (numbers approximate):
24.95 The two coffees I selected, types A and B.
49.95 UPS 3-day shipping.
74.90 Total.
$74.90!! Fifty dollars for shipping! I won't tell you the thoughts that ran through my head, because this isn't that kind of blog. Clearly my "pay $12 for $24" value had been completely wiped out by the outrageous shipping cost.
I called Roaste's customer service and spoke to a helpful person named Tim.
"I see your problem," he said. "There's a typo. It says that Coffee A is twelve pounds of coffee, but it's really twelve ounces."
Problem fixed, here's the bottom line: the Savemore coupon covered the cost of shipping, so my order will cost about 2/3 what I would normally have paid. And, I am hoping I've found a wonderful new coffee company, one of Roaste's affiliates. I'll blog about them if they're real good.

Auroch at Crossover Summit/DocFest/
Tomas was curating/sharing a panel discussion at this year's Crossover Summit as part of DocFest for the Wellcome Trust. Here is the panel information:
Exploiting the Feedback Loop
Tom Rawlings (Chair) / Jon Dovey (DCRC) / Kate Quilton (Channel 4)
Games like Bejeweled, Draw Something or Words with Friends are not one-off media events, but are on-going almost living entities. Being connected to the network they can collect huge amounts of data from players and so feed back to the designers which elements work and which do not. This allows them to respond, changing and improving the project in response. But while this 'bio-media model' clearly works for video games, can it work for filmmakers? By seeing video as data, a number of media thinkers are increasingly challenging the view that a film has to be a one off creation.
Plus there are some notes from the discussion online too:
The idea for the session is rooted in biological processes that happen around us (and in us!) everyday. For example, the image (right) is of 6 linked insulin molecules.
Computer-generated image of six insulin molecules assembled in a hexamer. (Source, Wikipedia)
These are part of a number of biological systems we have that together make up our homeostatic systems. This is a series of monitoring and control systems that measure various facets of the body (blood sugar, temperature etc) via feedback loops and trigger the body to respond to external and internal changes. So while the body is striving to keep a form of stasis (being alive!) the chemical composition of the body is in a state of constant flux.
There are similar ideas going on in how we create, consume and develop media. This biomedia approach sees the media form itself and something in flux, connected and responding to feedback loops. It sees media artefacts themselves (games, films, novels etc) as being part of (and evolving within) a complex ecosystem, a media ecology. ...
There is more here.

Cargo Area Liners are great for SUVs, station wagons, and mini vans. Cargo Area Liners keep muddy paw prints and scratches from damaging the interior of your vehicle. Not only that, it keeps dog hair from getting lodged in the fabric of your interior. As any pet owners who allow their dog in the car knows, pet hair is very difficult to remove from fabric.
The Cargo Area Liner is made of industrial grade, waterproof, heavy-duty vinyl coated polyester fabric. It is double sewn at the seems for exra strength. The Cargo Area Liner from Hatchbag® is easy to install and fits most vehicles. For older cars, the Cargo Area Liner uses Velcro type fasteners. For 2007 and current vehicles, the Cargo Area Liner is attached using hook/tab fasteners which slide between your window and the interior molding.
A long-time user of the Hatchbag® Cargo Area Liner says, "I can only imagine what my van would look like without the cargo liner. I take my dogs to the lake at least twice a month in the spring, summer, and fall. If it wasn't for the cargo liner, my van would be a muddy mess and the smell of wet dog would be overwhelming."

I keep reading that fibbing is a natural experiment by kids in my son's age group.
Still, I was happy recently to see a little maturity with regard to fibbing.
Lately, the things he picks to fib about are things that could actually have happened as opposed to "a monster came in the door and threw those clean clothes on the floor and then ran out!"
Take, for example, tooth brushing.
Me: "Go and get your toothbrush ready, and I will be in to brush your teeth in a few minutes."
Little AB: "Mommy I already brushed my teeth."
This isn't completely unreasonable -- though I do insist on brushing his teeth, he does occasionally give it a go himself. However, quick inspection of his toothbrush -- his DRY toothbrush -- is usually a good indication that no tooth brushing has actually taken place.
I fear the next stage. That stage where the intellectual capacity increases enough so that there is actual thought put into the fibs.

Voter betrayal: FG/Labour to ditch pledges on economy
They will brazenly follow Fianna Fail's four-year austerity plan as Labour protects public sector
The Fine Gael/Labour coalition Government is to implement in detail the outgoing Government's four-year austerity plan as approved by the EU-IMF, the Sunday Independent can reveal.
In what will amount to the most barefaced breach of election promises ever perpetrated by an incoming Government, the coalition partners' programme for government will cause uproar when it is published today.
While an attempt will be made to dress up the programme as a new plan by a new Government, when it is analysed it will be seen for what it is -- the continuation of the economic policies of Fianna Fail and the Greens, virtually in minute detail, as laid down by the EU-IMF.
If anything, Fine Gael will be seen to have capitulated more as it is handing over responsibility for reform of the public sector to Labour, whose core support is drawn from the public sector.
The programme envisages no more than 22,000 voluntary redundancies in the public sector, a long way short of Fine Gael's election promise to reduce the numbers employed by 30,000.
Fine Gael is expected to defend this U-turn by stating that 2,500 voluntary redundancies have already taken place in the public sector since January 2010.
However, the Fine Gael decision to hand reform of the public sector to Labour will provoke fury among many Fine Gael TDs, and cause uproar among the huge numbers who voted for Fine Gael.
Furthermore, it reduces the Government's chances of re-negotiating the EU-IMF bailout since our public spending excess is seen as a chronic problem in Europe.
The new Government will place heavy emphasis on its intention to renegotiate the bailout plan, as imposed on the outgoing Government, but the possibility of such a renegotiation is at least two, maybe three years away.
The omens are not good in this regard as the incoming Taoiseach, Enda Kenny, has already prepared the ground to pull back from his demand for "haircuts" on senior bank debt, saying other ways must be found to cut the cost of Ireland's bank bailout if losses are not imposed on bondholders.
"There is no way we are going to survive as a country unless we successfully renegotiate the EU-IMF deal," a senior Fine Gael source, familiar with the negotiations to form a Government, told the Sunday Independent yesterday.
The new Government will cite briefings on the dire state of the economy, and the banks to explain its decision to slip into the straitjacket imposed by the EU-IMF, just vacated by Fianna Fail and the Greens.
Yesterday, however, a well-placed Fine Gael source did not even attempt to disguise the fact that the new programme for government represents a rip-off of the outgoing Government's four-year plan as signed off on by the EU-IMF.
"Yes, we are going to have to stick with the four-year plan, at least for two or three years, and maybe even go further and deeper than the austerity measures envisaged in that plan," he said. "There is no getting away from that. I cannot deny it.
"The country is banjaxed, worse than we ever imagined. We have no choice."
In effect, the programme for government negotiated between Fine Gael and Labour will represent a middle-ground compromise on the respective election promises of FG and Labour, particularly in relation to the economy.
However, Fine Gael has ceded to Labour the issue of reform of the public sector, which is certain to anger the hundreds of thousands of private sector workers who voted for Fine Gael in the General Election.
An analysis of voting patterns carried out by the Sunday Independent reveals that only 16 per cent of Fine Gael voters gave their second preference to Labour candidates, while Labour transfers to Fine Gael amounted to just 35 per cent.
The analysis, therefore, shows that Fine Gael voters made it clear that they were not supporting a Fine Gael/Labour coalition; while there was greater Labour support for this form of Government, a majority of Labour voters did not favour coalition with Fine Gael either.
In the Sunday Independent today, Independent TD Shane Ross, who had offered up to eight Independent TDs to support a minority Fine Gael Government, writes: "These guys fell into each other's arms months ago.
"Any observer of the camaraderie in Leinster House over the years knows that their 14 years in the political wilderness of opposition have united them in one common mission: power. To hell with policy, it is time to divide the spoils. Spoils first, policy later."
However, it is the specifics of policy, as contained in the programme for government, which are now certain to provoke the anger of the electorate.
In the election campaign, Fine Gael promised to reduce numbers working in the public sector by 30,000, through a scheme of voluntary redundancy, under the Croke Park deal. But Labour said a voluntary reduction of the order of 18,000 would suffice.
The Sunday Independent has learned that the new government programme commits to reducing employment in the public sector by, at most, 22,000 through the Croke Park deal, a concession by Fine Gael which represents a huge victory for Labour.
Yesterday, a senior Fine Gael TD who is not party to the negotiations said: "If we hand over the public sector to Labour the game is up, we will be finished before we start. It is one of the most central issues, if not the main issue. This will lead to deep divisions in Fine Gael."
Another Fine Gael TD told the Sunday Independent: "Already today I have had two businessmen on to me about this. If Fine Gael lets Labour have the public sector, it's over for us, game, set and match."
The Sunday Independent understands that the new government will embark on a programme of the sale of non-strategic state assets, ostensibly to provide for a job stimulus package as promised by Fine Gael in the election campaign.
However, there is growing concern within Fine Gael that the sale of semi-states will take place to spare greater savings in the public sector.
In relation to the economy, both Fine Gael and Labour have compromised their election promises to, in effect, bring them closer to the commitments of Fianna Fail's four-year plan.
For example, the new programme for government commits to reducing the national deficit to three per cent of Gross Domestic Product by 2015: in the election campaign, Fine Gael said its aim was to reduce the deficit by 2014 and Labour said by 2016.
Fine Gael will claim victory insofar as the new programme commits to no new or increased taxes on work, not even on those who earn in excess of €100,000 a year, as proposed by Labour during the election.
However, a raft of stealth taxes will be contained in the government programme, such as water charges and property taxes. Other, more obscure stealth taxes are also expected.
It is also understood that Fas is to be abolished and its functions absorbed into the workings of the Department of Social Protection.
The issue of public sector reform will move centre stage when the new Government is in power. The credibility of Fine Gael and Labour on this issue, however, will be damaged by a decision not to cut the number of ministers of state.
While the new government programme contains a range of proposed political reforms, the Sunday Independent understands that all 14 junior ministers are to be retained.
Further briefings indicate the possible make-up of the Cabinet: the Fine Gael contingent will include Enda Kenny (Taoiseach); James Reilly (Health); Phil Hogan (Environment); Alan Shatter (Attorney-General or Justice); Richard Bruton, Michael Noonan, Leo Varadkar; Simon Coveney; and Frances Fitzgerald. Sean Barrett is expected to be made Ceann Comhairle.
The Labour contingent will include Eamon Gilmore; Joan Burton; Brendan Howlin; Ruairi Quinn; and Pat Rabbitte. The Labour portfolios will include a new department for public sector reform; and Foreign Affairs, Enterprise & Employment and Education. It is expected Labour will also have a 'super-junior' minister at Cabinet, either Jan O'Sullivan from Limerick or Sean Sherlock from Cork.
The Fine Gael parliamentary party is to discuss the programme for government tomorrow; the programme will also go before a Labour special delegate conference in Dublin today.
Shortly before 10pm last night, Fine Gael's chief negotiator Phil Hogan emerged from the talks to say that the parties would reach a deal by the end of the night. He said that there were just "three or four policy issues" remaining to be sorted out, and added that the shape of the Government -- meaning the dividing out of the ministers' portfolios -- had yet to be agreed upon.
Sources close to the talks said that negotiations were prolonged into the early hours because Mr Gilmore was demanding six full ministers at Cabinet table -- while Mr Kenny was adamant that Labour could only have five, plus one "super junior".
Coming close to midnight, both sides were still deadlocked on the issue.

There's a lot of music out there, millions of tracks on each streaming service, with new songs and albums dropping every week. So how do you cut through the noise? Here are six places you can find new music to suit your tastes, based on what you're already interested in.
Last.fm continues to soldier on in this brave new world of on-demand music streaming (it now offers some clever Spotify integrations), and it remains the best place to track your listening history across multiple devices and apps (iTunes, Spotify, Windows, Mac, etc). Once you've 'scrobbled' enough tracks, you get some intelligent suggestions for new music.
It would be a shame if Last.fm fell victim to the in-house recommendation engines now offered by the big names in digital music, as it can prove very useful for those who are always jumping between platforms and music apps. You don't actually have to sign up or do any scrobbling to get recommendations, just click on an artist or search for a song.
A place to share and discover playlists, 8tracks gives you a number of ways to discover new music. You can either have a browse through some of the recently uploaded playlists on the front page, or use the search box at the top to look for particular genres you like. Artists and mood tags help you dive deeper into the content that 8tracks has to offer.
You can browse playlists by uploader too, so if you come across someone with particularly fine taste in tunes, then you can see what else they've been liking, favouriting, and collecting on the platform. To add to the appeal there are mobile apps for all the popular devices.
Shuffler.fm is based around online radio stations, stations curated by DJs, bloggers, music editors, and more. It's one of the best ways of eschewing the algorithm-driven approach to find music picked by actual human beings. It requires some extra effort in terms of digging around, but you can often make better discoveries as a result.
If you're a little bewildered about who to start trusting with your music recommendations, then you can browse by genre instead. Pick out one of your favourite types of music and Shuffler.fm literally shuffles you through a series of blogs and sites to bring you fresh tunes in your chosen category.
If you want something basic and stripped down, then give Gnoosic a go. It's based around a more comprehensive recommendation called Gnod and it asks you to start the process by suggesting three bands you're already into. After that, you can rate the bands that appear (if you've already heard of them) and get a neat summary at the end.
There's no advanced tracking and no built-in streaming or anything like that, but if you just want something that can throw up a few new band names for you (without the need to even sign in) then Gnoostic fits the bill neatly enough. Sometimes less is more if you already have dozens of music apps and services cluttering up your life.
Your music app of choice
Every music app worth its salt comes with a discovery engine of its own these days, picking out new tracks for you based on what you've already listened to. Remember you can often tweak these recommendations further by starring or rating songs that you particularly enjoy (in Google Play Music, for example, you can give tracks a thumbs up or down).
Apple Music has the ubiquitous heart icon which you can find next to just about every album, song, artist and playlist, while Spotify lets you follow other people with similar tastes as well as serving up a Discover playlist every week. Spend more time telling your music service of choice what you're actually enjoying and your recommendations should improve, too.

I have been asked a lot recently about integrating AppTracker with SCCM. "Is it possible to read applications from AppTracker and use them to create SCCM Packages and Programs?" ...yes it is!AppTracker exposes a webservice API that customers can write scripts against quite easily.
To demonstrate just how easy it is I created a little video.(read on for an explanation of the video)
Let me explain what is happening…
I have a folder of executables that contains an xml file describing the applications I want to import. The xml file has some basic properties such as AppName, Vendor, Version and the path to setup.exe. The PowerShell script reads the applications from this xml file, it creates a folder structure [server]\[Vendor]\[Application]\[Version] and copies the installation files to the new folder.
After that it connects to the API and uses the "CreateApplication" method to raise the three new applications. It then uses the "AddApplicationNote" method to add a note to the new application and finally it uses the "SaveDiscoveryQuestion" method to add some discovery information such as the path to the source files.
Now that we have three new applications sitting in the "Discovery" process it's time to move them to the "Packaging" process. We use "GetApplicationsInProcess" to get all of our "Discovery" applications from the API we can then use "MoveApplicationProcess" to move them on to "Packaging".
Finally I create the SCCM objects, again I use "GetApplicationsInProcess" to retrieve the applications I want to publish. I use a mixture of PowerShell and WMI along with my retrieved application info to create the SCCM packages and programs. I then read the new Package ID from SCCM and write this information back to AppTracker using "SaveDiscoveryQuestion". It is as easy as that!
I have now…
- Created three new applications in AppTracker from an xml source file.
- Moved the applications to a different process.
- Added new notes and discovery data.
- Created SCCM Packages & Programs.
- Saved the results back to AppTracker for reporting on later.
All via the API without ever needing to use the AppTracker client.
Be sure to keep an eye out for more posts on our API; with a little PowerShell and the AppTracker API you can automate almost anything in AppTracker.

2015 A year in style
Hi guys,
My last article about memories from the wonderful holidays I had this year (check here) inspired me have a look at my favorite outfits of this past year! 2015 was all about providing you guys with a daily dose of outfit inspiration. I tried to blog as consistent as possible to give you an idea on how I prepare my outfits every day of the year. As you must have noticed I love simplicity. I like to start from one key item and prepare a whole outfit around this item. I tend to keep it simple, match colors, layer with different fabrics and mix or match different style. And although I might have a certain style, "the casual chic dandy look", I am very open-minded to other smart, dapper, urban, minimalistic or flamboyant styles. This all depending on the occasion or mood I'm in. I love to be creative in fashion and to show you this I have selected my favorite outfits of the year 2015. Let me know what your favorite was by commenting below!
Cheers my friends!

How much more money would the UK government get in every year if it managed to collect every penny it was owed in taxes?
There are various estimates of the size of this 'tax gap'. The government's estimate puts it at around £45bn. Other estimates suggest something over £100bn.
That's serious money: look at the chart here and you will see that, even on the lowest estimates, the tax gap could easily cover all our debt interest payments every year.
Clearly a large amount of this is related to corporate tax evasion. However, the more I talk to people about their attitude towards their taxes, the more I think our shadow economy is significantly larger than anyone imagines.
Think about a home wedding. The make-up artist and the hairdresser will both come to the venue. They'll both get £150-£200 in cash. They wont declare it. Nor will the decorator who came to the family house to do a little touch-up painting before the relatives arrived.
Nor will the classic car enthusiast who drives the bride to the wedding in his fancy car or the musicians who play as she enters the marquee (half of the cost of which will probably have been invoiced by its owners for form's sake). The daughters of friends doing the waitressing most certainly won't be declaring.
And if the bride or her husband is, say, a freelance graphic designer, website expert, heating engineer, nanny, builder or eBay salesperson, odds are she and her fiancé will have saved for the wedding out of undeclared income too. And if they are in their late 30s, both own flats and have rented out one so they can live together, they'll be keeping that to themselves as well.
However, it is hardly just the middle classes that are scamming the honest taxpayer. In the New Statesman last week, Alice Miles pointed to work by an anthropologist in a former industrial area of Sheffield. The average family income in the area was shown in the official statistics as £4,000. However once all sources of undeclared income were taken into account he calculated it to be more like £17,000. Add it all up and the World Bank's numbers suggest that tax evasion in the UK runs to about 13.5% of GDP. That's not far off £200bn.
And even that could easily be an underestimate. Like everyone, we worry at MoneyWeek that the average real wage has barely risen in a decade. But if you look at the size and scope of the black economy (which has been growing) you might wonder if it is only those who get their income solely via PAYE who are suffering.
The government recently announced a "Plumbers' Amnesty" with the idea of getting the self employed to confess to non-payment in exchange for lower fines. But while this might bring in a little from those who think they might actually get caught (a similar scheme for doctors brought in £10m), it isn't going to make much of a real difference. Ask a hairdresser if she knows she is supposed to declare the £200 she made at last week's wedding and I suspect she'll tell you she doesn't. And even if she does she probably also knows she isn't ever going to get caught if she just pockets it.

Our History
when Jack Minnow opened Jack's Sign Shop in an old Italian market on the North Side of Endicott, New York in Little Italy. Jack and his wife, Alice, spent their days hand painting signs for local businesses, baseball sponsor signs, and screen printing hundreds of signs for local politicians. Their business grew slowly but steadily, eventually using a computer and a vinyl plotter to apply graphics to company vehicles and store front windows. As they aged, they began to look for an ambitious younger person to take over the family business for them.
In 2001, when Jim Taber came to Jack and Alice to get decals on his work van for the construction company he worked for, he instantly fell in love with the trade. A craftsman at heart, and with an entrepreneurial spirit, Jim was drawn to the creativity and care involved in creating signs. For 16 years, the business grew in leaps and bounds, eventually becoming national sign company JAX Signs & Neon, Inc. Their scope of work included everything from high-rise pylons, to full vehicle wraps, to custom fabricated channel letters, to high definition LED displays.
In 2017 Arch Digital Community Gateways was formed. Borrowing from the years of experience and craftsmanship of JAX Signs, Jim and his son Nathan began working hard to bring their vision to life. We have our first two signs launching in late 2017.

Philippine officials are warning of landslides and telling people to move to safer grounds after typhoon Noul smashed into the northeastern tip of the Philippines on Sunday.
The category five storm packed winds of up to 185 kilometers per hour near the center, with gusts of up to 220 kph.
It made landfall in the rice-producing province of Cagayan about 400 km. north of the capital Manila, Reuters reported Monday, citing the weather bureau.
Power was cut in Tuguegarao City, capital of the province of around a million inhabitants. The typhoon is expected to move northwest at 17 kph and head towards southern Japan on Tuesday.
"We strongly advise pre-emptive evacuation while we still have time. We expect there will be a confluence of events — a high tide, heavy rainfall in the mountains, the possibility of a storm surge and strong winds," Alexander Pama, head of the national disaster agency, told a news briefing before the typhoon hit land.
The typhoon was expected to trigger landslides and flash floods in parts of the Cagayan Valley. Heavy to intense rainfall was likely within the typhoon's 100 km. radius.
More than 5,000 passengers and about 100 vessels were stranded in ports on Saturday, mostly along the eastern seaboard.
Cebu Pacific airline cancelled at least six domestic flights to the northern Philippines.
Officials in northern Philippine provinces have alerted rescue units and positioned relief goods. The government readied trucks to ferry people away from low-lying and flood-prone areas.

Brighton Mini Maker Faire - Makers at work exhibition
It was really amazing to be commissioned to photograph four makers for the recent Mini Maker Faire zine. It connects to my main photographic project Beyond Work, which is my attempt to document as many workers as possible and tell the story of how they got to where they are now.
There is also going to be a small exhibition taking place during the Brighton Photo Fringe. The show will feature photographs of a metal worker, sculptor, artist and puppeteer, electronics maker, artist and teacher. It will be open from the 3rd-5th October and the 10th-12th October at the Circus Street Market.
More details to follow.

It's this time of the year ...
Time to poetry-size articles on this website again! As usual, I google for this site - using site:elkement.subversiv.at/en - and take one continuous, unedited snippet from each of the linked pages. Search results must be processed in the order Google shows them, and they must not be re-arranged later.
the Existence of the Matrix AKA Corporate World
I had literally been asked
Who will take care of my dear website in 200 years?
run off to the restrooms at a party
As all stressed managers and other pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago
Algorithms loom large
look more like a placeholder
I am trying to learn the terminology
Off-the-wall geek humor versus existential philosophical questions
But I was penalized for all this.
Don't think about it too long!
While I gravitated against quantum theory
what I had had in mind but never did
not igniting my entrepreneurial spirits yet
back-to-the-roots stuff will be migrated
I want to challenge my own ideas
in a pang of cheeky self-assurance
a grown-up physicist's biggest ethical dilemma
what I never wanted to know
one more telltale sign of the Siren Server (© Jaron Lanier) resisting subversion by poetry
Global corporations have their brand names tested for potentially unwanted connotations
Especially if they are appealing to your vanity
The proof by contradiction
Our village has changed its zip code
to enter a more detached state of mind
You can turn into your own cliché
I'll pontificate about anything nonetheless.
So after all - it was all worth it.
Each phrase becomes a line in this 'poem'
it is no good rationalizing too much
a small-talk question, innocent and harmless.
Physics or Engineering?
I suck at keeping to my own agenda
Do we need a new attempt?
books trigger some random thougths of mine
you don't know how the story will unfold
Same rules as for search term poetry or spam poetry:
- Search your own site or profile on Google, using: site:elkement.subversiv.at/en/.
- Open each page in the order Google dictates.
- Pick one phrase from this (your own) post or article. Don't think about it too long! Editing is not permitted.
- Each phrase becomes a line in this 'poem'. Re-ordering or re-considering previous lines is not allowed.
I play
reconnected with my roots
just reassembling weird snippets
since the turn of the millenium I have been experimenting
Alas, I stick with
Responsive Design
Which also contains the expected meta-musings
a world taken right out of a gothic movie
We are now going to challenge this, and we will ask Google
I'll pontificate about anything nonetheless
This is done deliberately
I can hardly see a problem at all
pathetic attempts of mine
It turned to a second 'branch' of
a Perpetuum Mobile
Off-the-wall geek humor versus existential philosophical questions
You be the judge on lightness and darkness.
We are flabbergasted
Instead of a 'Bio'
The subscriber may not be happy with that
I rather pick and add what I stumbled upon
created from cookies
as sort of a mental exercise
allusions to the mystical without knowing about
in the glorious era of THE GREAT dotcom HYPE
my post adolescent postmodern gloomy stanzas
boiling down knowledge to the essential information
somewhen in 2003
new counterparts
a combination of my eternal laziness and lack of motivation
I got involved in some serious discussions
No human being on this planet registered the historical event.
I've built
my inner clock
spontaneous outburst of my creativity
the structure is always work in progress
in contrast to standard mantras of modern 'information and knowledge worker society'
We are using the Babylonian system of numbers
in sunny Pannonian Plain
Or could we be subversive all the time?
On the German version of this page you do indeed find my original poetry, written in 1998. In order to allow English readers a glimpse into my post adolescent postmodern gloomy stanzas I resort to Google Translate. This is done deliberately to add that flavor of Search Term Poetry or Spam Poetry.
By the Subversive Element
in the depths of consciousness
on the surface
overdraw my picture of the world
with thousands of multicolored drops
rich like tentacles
in my reality
and tug at unwavering.
Burning streams of lava
apparent safety
Streams of water
wet the parched land
my reason
dig their tunnels
through my mind
let my soul
go on swaying bridges
about locations of past struggles
past monuments
for heroics
whose meaning I have forgotten
flow into my reality
here and now
and satisfy themselves
echoed by
in a world
which has changed
in this moment
This is even worse than the German version. But with more help from Google I know we can do better.
I am running this now through Google Translate again and translate it - using
one result as an input for the next round:
>> to Spanish >> to Italian >> to French >> to Zulu >> to Nepalese >> to Korean >> to Finnish >> and back to German
The result (shown on the German page) is quite remarkable - to me this sounds like a Zen koan.
Now I am ready to translate it back to English - and this is what I call poetry!
