I know. It's not quite Sunday.
But this isn't your average Sunday Snapshot, either.
Today, January 28th, marks six years since I began blogging.
And a few things have happened since then.
Sophie came home.
We moved from the midwest to the southeast.
Jude came home.
The blog went from "Sophie Makes Six" to "Ni Hao Y'all".
Shepherd came home.
We moved back to the midwest.
No Hands But Ours went from a dream to reality.
My crazy friends and I started up our own t-shirt business – Wild Olive.
Vivienne came home.
I became the US Director at An Orphan's Wish.
We moved to the northeast.
Poppy came home.
We moved back to the southeast.
And here we are.
I think I need a nap.
Better yet, since it's my party and – for today at least – I can do what I want to… let's make this really fun.
My sweet friend (and Wild Olive partner in crime) Amie is fundraising to bring home two precious kiddos, Sophie Lu and Kai.
Just look how adorable they are.
And their family is crazy close to being ready to travel. For TWO.
So, to celebrate all God has done in our crazy family in the last six years, I want to join another God-following, crazy family in their efforts to bring their babies home.
I'll be giving away six shirts to six winners. Six "God Is Love" shirt winners will be selected at random from all comments left on this post. One comment per person, pretty please. I'll donate to Amie's fundraiser, and six of y'all will get a rockin' new tee.
How's that for a party?
Since this giveaway is in celebration of six years of my blogging journey, it is open only to followers of Ni Hao Y'all. So if you don't already follow along here, it's a great time to start. Winners will be selected on Tuesday the 31st, so entries will close at midnight on Monday the 30th. Each winner will be able to choose the size they want of this shirt that has been created for Amie's fundraiser.
Isn't it gorgeous?
My girls and I have one. And we love 'em.
We love Amie and her family even more and we sure would be blessed if you'd consider making a donation to their fundraiser as well. I think, if you take the time to read their story, you'll be so very blessed, too.
You can still link up this week on Sunday Snapshot, but you do not have to link to be entered for the giveaway.
To enter to win a God Is Love tee, just leave a comment with the answer to this question:
When did you start following along here at Ni Hao Y'all?
And for an additional entry, click the FB "Like" button below this post, and let me know when you comment.
Happy Six Years to Ni Hao Y'all. It is my prayer that it has been a blessing to a few of y'all on your own crazy, God-following adoption journeys.
If you're ready to link up this week with your Sunday Snapshot, just copy the code under the Snapshot button and paste it into the body of your post where you'd like the button to be displayed.
When you hit 'publish' it should show up just fine. Then add your link below.

My company is sponsoring a Star Wars-themed photography day at our Orlando, FL studio on Friday May the 2nd. I wanted to invite any fans, Fetts, members of the 501st and their families, etc. to come and have their photos taken (in costume, without costume, with just some props, whatever you'd like to do). Just sharing some StarWars love!
The cost is $20 and the digital masters (web res) are yours to keep and use however you want. We'll be shooting on a star field background so it should highlight your gear and look pretty cool.
I don't want to break any forum rules by posting links but I'll keep an eye on this thread and if someone gives me the green light to post a link to the event info I'll do so. Would love to see some fellow fans there!

Samsung Hope For Children Gala: A Star-Studded Benefit
With the stars joining together to raise funds for a well-deserving cause, Samsung hosted their 9th Annual Four Seasons of Hope Gala at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City on Tuesday night (June 7).
As the main attraction, Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony teamed up as multi-tasking guests, speakers and performers - as Anthony is said to offered a rendition of "I Need to Know " while Jennifer sand "Lets Get Loud" as the two ended together onstage with a duet.
With the soiree benefiting the Foundation Maribel - which is set up to help children and women through telemedicine - a grand total of $1.2 million was raised collectively.
Of the effort, Marc told, "The Foundation Maribel has to do with our family, thinking about my sister who died at nine years (brain cancer). It is a foundation of telemedicine, where doctors in the U.S., see patients anywhere in the world through cameras and X-rays, and collaboration with Samsung will help us a lot," he said.
Other stars in attendance included Demi Moore, Kevin Jonas, Padma Lakshmi, Selita Ebanks and former President Bill Clinton.

Payne gas furnace- GAS HEATING LOCKOUT
I have a Payne PG8UAA036065 gas furnace. For the past three years I have had issues with my furnace getting a code 21, which is:
GAS HEATING LOCKOUT - Control will NOT auto reset. Check for: - Mis-wired gas valve or Defective control(valve Relay)
The issue is intermittent, It may run for one cycle or ten before it locks up. Once it locks up I can flip the break off and back on and it will run until it happens again. I called a technician to come take a look but we could not recreate the issue while he was there. He cleaned and inspected all the usual parts. He said the only other thing he could do was replace the control board and hope that fixes the issue. Does this sound like something that would be caused by a faulty control board?
199 Attachment(s)
Moved to HVAC.
Absolutely it could be a failing control board. Remove the board and check for hot spots on the back side.
That code means the board is sensing a flame after the thermostat shuts off which would indicate the gas valve is stuck open or energized. if that happened the furnace would overheat and you would get a burning smell or a very hot house. more than likely the board is faulty and giving you a false code as there is a 1 in a million chance the valve is sticking open.
looked at our service record....payne furnace control boards....replaced a good many boards for faulty codes.....ben sr

Queen's Baton Relay: Designing the Queen's Baton
Constructing an item which will reach a global audience of almost two billion people is not an easy task, but it was a challenge Will Mitchell was excited to accept.
When Glasgow-based firm 4c Design won the tender to create the Queen's Baton, the Design Director knew it was important to find the correct inspiration.
The team always had an idea in mind and a range of traditional and cutting edge production techniques were used to construct the baton.
Direct laser metal sintering was used infuse 4,500 layers of titanium together. This technique is normally dedicated to aerospace prototypes, sculpture and jewellery.
"This has never been done before with a baton design," said Will.
Layers of titanium powder, as thick as a human hair, took 30 hours to form into the baton.
He added: "The process has been around for a long time, we were pushing the technology. The people who made the metal work were pretty sure it would fail.
"This baton is one of the largest items the company has made. The complexity and thickness made the building process very unpredictable. As you built the part, it became very hot and cooling temperatures meant things can warp."
In stark contrast, a traditional boatbuilding technique called bird-mouthing was used to shape the baton's handle.
Elm wood for the handle was sourced from the Isle of Cumbrae, keeping the materials close to the desired Scottish connection. Granite gemstones, which will be given as a gift to each nation, are from Ailsa Craig in the Firth of Clyde.
This is the first time the Queen's message has been a visible element of the baton. Will is proud of the companies achievement and hopes to leave a legacy for future baton designs.
This time around the design has gone back to basics and is modelled on an athletes' baton reminiscent of the original design in the 1958 Queen's Baton Relay.
Will said: "I was very keen to get a story together about the baton. The organising committee at Glasgow 2014 wanted references to Scottish and Glasgow culture."
'Culture', 'sport' and 'message' were the three key drivers for the inspiration of the baton.
"This has been our first mainstream project," added Will. "It is part of the Commonwealth Games and it has been absolutely amazing to make that association."
The baton will travel to Scotland on Thursday before heading to India for its first international stopover on 11 October.

Governor Snyder Leads Delegation to Israel
Governor Rick Snyder is leading a delegation of state officials and business leaders on a nine-day investment mission to Israel in hopes of increasing bilateral trade and investments, academic cooperation and strengthening Michigan's relationship with the state of Israel.
In a statement before leaving Governor Snyder said "Michigan's longstanding ties with Israeli companies and academic institutions have created excellent opportunities to improve trade, increase business investment and scientific research. We look forward to building on these highly productive relationships." Snyder added he would be delivering a message that Michigan "is more business friendly than ever and the best state in North America in which to compete and grow."
This trip will be Snyder's first as governor to the Middle East. He has already gone on missions to Asia, Europe, and Canada. The delegation will travel to Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Nazareth, Haifa and the Galilee region to meet with government leaders, business executives and university officials. The governor will also participate in the Israeli President's Conference, 'Facing Tomorrow 2013,' including a celebration of Israel President Shimon Peres' 90th birthday.
Israel is the only country with free trade agreements to both the United States and the European community and can act as a bridge for international trade between countries.
Some facts about the Michigan and Israel business relationship:
- Michigan companies exported nearly $117 million in good and materials to Israel in 2012, making Michigan the 19th state in the U.S. for exports to Israel.
- Transportation equipment was the largest export item, at nearly $70 million in 2012, followed by machinery, chemicals and food manufacturers.
- Michigan ranks 15th among states for imports from Israel.
The Israel mission is being conducted at the invitation of the Israeli government and hosted by the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit.

I love my on-line savings accounts at HSBC and ING.
Why do I like my on-line savings accounts?
- Their interest rates are competitive with CDs (HSBC's 3.50% is currently better than ING's 3.00%), yet there are no liquidity or penalty issues for pulling money out early. By the way, HSBC just raised their rate to 3.50%. I am betting that ING is pondering a change too.
- There are no fees.
- Their web sites are very user-friendly.
- They are FDIC-insured up to $100,000.
- You can put up to $2,000,000 in an account.
- You can put as little as $1 in an account.
- I can move my money around very easily because it is on-line.
- I can access my accounts 24-7-365.
There are several other good on-line banks out there too. What on-line banks are you using?

Thank you for reviewing this recipe.
My girlfriend LOVES French onion soup. After making this recipe for her, she refuses to eat it anywhere else. I had never made french onion soup before, but this was an amazing meal.
So Good.....Mmmmm
I had never made French Onion Soup before and found the recipe to be very easy. Our dinner party guests really enjoyed it. I will be making this recipe again.
Best french onion soup ever!
This was the most excellent French onion soup I have ever tasted! It was amazingly easy to make. Everyone enjoyed it at our dinner party.
I'm definitely a cooking rookie so I was a bit apprehensive making this but man! It's very easy & very delicious. I put in a few extra bouillon cubes to make it a bit stronger. Deeelicious!
Soups on!!!
I love this soup. I had to use mozzerella cheese, but I prefer that over swiss anyhow. I also used ceaser salad crutons instead of toast, and would highly recomend giving that a try.

I recently inherited a 12g Winchester model 12 from my grandfather and it is a great gun and the gun he grew up waterfowl hunting with. Problem is that the stock has a crack in it and it also has a youth stock on it. At 6'3" it's a little small for me even if it wasn't cracked. I don't know if there is a certain stock that I need to be looking for or anything like that. I have never replaced a stock or anything like that so I have no idea where to start.

The gold price did little in Far East trading on their Tuesday, but rallied sharply the moment that London opened. The rally wasn't allowed to get far---and then at, or shortly before the London p.m gold fix, the HFT boyz showed up and spun the price back below the $1,300 spot mark, with the low of the day coming at 12:15 p.m. EDT. From there the gold price poked its nose back above the $1,300 price mark, but wasn't allowed to close there.
The CME Group recorded the high and low ticks as $1,312.10 and $1,295.50 in the August contract.
Gold closed in New York yesterday at $1,298.80 spot, down $4.70 from Monday's close. Gross volume was north of 350,000 contracts, but it netted out to an insignificant 8,500 contracts.
The price chart for silver was similar to gold's, but the price action was more volatile. The high and low ticks for silver occurred at the same time as they did for gold.
The high and low ticks for silver were $20.845 and $20.505 in the September contract.
Silver finished the Tuesday session at $20.56 spot, down a half a cent. Volume, net of July and August, was around 39,500 contracts---of which, about 3,700 contracts were traded in December 2014 and March 2015.
Platinum also rallied a bit at the Zurich open---and its rally ended an hour later---and it was pretty much all down hill from there, with platinum closing just about on its low of the day, down ten bucks.
It was more or less the same chart pattern for palladium, as its decent rally at the Zurich open also got capped---and then it followed a price decline similar to the one that it had on Monday. The low tick came at 1 p.m. in New York trading---and the subsequent rally didn't get far. Palladium closed down two bucks.
The dollar index closed late on Monday afternoon in New York at 81.00 right on the button. It had a tiny up/down rally that lasted until about 9:40 a.m. BST in London---and from that low, headed higher. I would surmise that someone hit the 'sell gold and silver, buy the dollar index' button at that point All the gains were in by noon in New York---and it backed off a couple of basis points into the close. The index finished the day at 81.21---up 21 basis points.
The gold stocks opened in the black---and then got sold down immediately when the gold price got hit just before the London p.m. fix. After that they chopped sideways, although they did make a rally attempt off the 12:15 p.m. low tick, but that ran out of gas shortly after 2:30 p.m. EDT. The HUI finished down 0.61%---giving back all of Monday's gain.
The silver equities followed a similar price path as gold stock during the first hour of trading, but then rallied quietly back into positive territory, with the high of the day coming at about 1:30 p.m. EDT---and from there the equities slid a bit into the close. Nick Laird's Intraday Silver Sentiment Index closed up 0.22%.
The CME Daily Delivery Report showed that 50 gold and 26 silver contracts were posted for delivery within the Comex-approved depositories on Thursday. Of the 26 silver contracts issued, 25 of them were stopped by the CME itself in order to fill delivery orders in the silver mini contract of 1,000 troy ounce good delivery bars. You can check it all out in yesterday's Issuers and Stoppers Report, which is linked here.
Once again there were no reported changes in GLD---and as of 8:09 p.m. EDT, there were no reported changes in SLV, either.
The good folks over at Switzerland's Zürcher Kantonalbank updated their website with the latest reports on the gold and silver ETFs at the close of business on Friday, July 25. Their gold ETF declined by another 19,737 troy ounces---and their silver ETF shed 430,803 troy ounces.
There was a smallish sales report from the U.S. Mint. They sold 260,000 silver eagles.
There was no in/out gold movement worth mentioning at the Comex-approved depositories on Monday. In silver, there was 600,256 troy ounces reported received---and nothing shipped out. All the silver deposited went into Brink's, Inc.
Just as a matter of interest, here's the 5-minute tick chart for gold from yesterday that reader Brad Robertson sent around. The times shown are MDT, so add two hours for EDT.
Here's a brand new chart that Nick Laird sent my way early yesterday evening. It shows the weekly deliveries into the Shanghai Gold Exchange---and he's presenting it in the same format as he does for the Russian Reserves, which I consider to be entirely appropriate.
Of course China is importing much more gold than this chart shows, but this---and what is imported through Hong Kong every month---is all that's visible
It's another day where I have more stories than I know what to do with---and that's why I just post 'em--and let you sort through them.
More than a third of U.S. adults have bad debt that has been handed over to a collection agency and their average debt in collections is $5,178, according to a study published on Tuesday by the Urban Institute.
The authors of the report by the Washington, D.C.-based think tank said vicious cycles of bad debt can hold back families and entire communities.
"Most people wouldn't blink if told that the majority of Americans carry some debt. But they would be shocked to learn that reported debt in collections is pervasive and threads through nearly all communities," said Caroline Ratcliffe, a senior fellow at the Urban Institute. "Delinquent debt can harm credit scores, which can tip employers' hiring decisions, restrict access to mortgages and even increase insurance costs."
This very interesting Reuters story, filed from Chicago, appeared on their Internet site at 1:43 p.m. EDT on Tuesday afternoon---and I thank reader Harry Grant for sliding today's first story into my in-box in the wee hours of this morning.
Home ownership in the United States fell again in the second quarter to the lowest level since the third quarter of 1995, suggesting many Americans are becoming renters. The seasonally adjusted home ownership rate fell to a seasonally adjusted 64.8% from 65.0% in the first quarter, the Commerce Department said Tuesday.
The residential rental vacancy rate dropped to 7.5% in the second quarter, the lowest level since 1997 and well below the peak of 11.1% in 2009.The increased demand to rent is driving prices higher. In the second quarter, the median asking monthly rent was $756, up from $735 one year ago. In another closely-watched sector, the home ownership rate among those under 35 was 35.9% in the second quarter, down from 36.7% one year earlier. Many analysts say the housing sector will remain weak until first-time buyers return to the market.
That's all there is to this tiny news item that was posted on the marketwatch.com Internet site at 10:27 a.m. EDT on Tuesday morning---and I thank Washington state reader S.A. for sharing it with us.
One of the unwritten rules of modern central banking is that, unless compelled by events on the ground, officials should refrain from making big policy changes during the summer. With many traders on holiday, any sudden moves risk destabilizing markets.
Look for the Federal Reserve to abide by this rule when it meets Tuesday and Wednesday — and the European Central Bank to do the same in early August. Janet Yellen and her colleagues on the policy-making Federal Open Market Committee will maintain their well-telegraphed, gradualist approach, reducing monthly bond purchases by another $10 billion, signaling no urgency in raising interest rates, and reminding us of the importance of looking beyond the unemployment rate to understand what's happening in the job market.
Still, behind this comforting "steady as she goes" facade, Fed officials will be dealing with five complex and inter-related issues, the resolution of which will be months in the making:

While we are busy arguing whether the Fed's exit will consist of rising rates, reverse repos or the trimming of its massive portfolio, the Fed may well be fooling all of us. Investors must have been swallowing lots of blue pills not to see the illusion hiding in plain sight.
Let's assume that we will indeed get a rate hike next year, and that the Fed will have figured out how to implement it. We may get our exit all right, but it's not the sort of exit most appear to be expecting. That's because in our humble view, an "exit" ought to reflect a path towards normalization, away from financial repression, back to an environment where pensioners might once again be able to live off income generated from their savings.
If anyone dares to take a red pill, you will learn that interest rates net of inflation, i.e. real interest rates, have not only continued to be negative, but become more negative of late, meaning inflation has started to inch upward. For normalization to occur, interest rates must move higher faster than the pace of inflation; and not only do real interest rates need to move higher, they ought to move into positive territory to suggest we might be exiting financial repression.

In 2012, Wall Street Journal reporter, Scott Patterson, released his 354-page prescient overview of U.S. market structure titled, Dark Pools: High Speed Traders, A.I. Bandits, and the Threat to the Global Financial System. (For those whose computer prowess is limited to turning on a laptop, like millions of fellow Americans, "A.I." means artificial intelligence – machines teaching themselves to think like humans, but faster.)
Patterson comes to an epiphany on page 339 of his book, writing in the notes section: "The title of this book doesn't entirely refer to what is technically known in the financial industry as a 'dark pool.' Narrowly defined, dark pool refers to a trading venue that masks buy and sell orders from the public market. Rather, I argue in this book that the entire United States stock market has become one vast dark pool. Orders are hidden in every part of the market. And the complex algorithm AI-based trading systems that control the ebb and flow of the market are cloaked in secrecy. Investors – and our esteemed regulators – are entirely in the dark because the market is dark."

JPMorgan Chase will pay $650,000 to settle charges by federal regulators that it filed inaccurate reports on the trading positions of some of its large customers.
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission announced the settlement Tuesday. The CFTC said that JPMorgan continued to submit inaccurate reports to the agency from 2012 through February of this year even though CFTC staff found errors in them and notified JPMorgan.
The New York bank neither admitted nor denied wrongdoing in the settlement. It agreed to certify in writing that it has improved and tested its procedures for filing reports. A company spokesman declined to comment.

UBS has reached a settlement with the authorities in Germany over helping clients evade taxes. The Swiss bank will pay €300 million (CHF364.4 million) in the agreement marking another step in the bank's resolving the problems of its past.
UBS revealed it had settled the investigation in July while reporting its second quarter earnings on Tuesday.
The bank said it had entered CHF120 million ($132 million) in provisions in connection with the German settlement in its second quarter results, where it posted a net profit of CHF792 million.

The Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague has thrown the book at the Russian state, or more specifically at Vladimir Putin and his Siloviki circle from the security services.
The $51.5bn ruling against on the Kremlin unveiled this morning has no precedent in international law. The damages are 20 times larger than any previous verdict.
Lawyers for the Yukos-MGL-Khodorkovsky team tell me that they cannot pursue the foreign bond holdings of the Russian central bank if the Kremlin refuses to pay up when the deadline expires on January 15, as seems likely. Moscow has already dismissed the case as "politically motivated".
Nor can they go after embassies and other sovereign assets that enjoy diplomatic immunity, though they are eyeing a list of Russian state targets that slipped through the net.

Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte has called on Kiev authorities to stop its military operation against independence supporters around the Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 crash site in eastern Ukraine, Agence France-Presse reported Tuesday, citing a government representative.
"The prime minister this morning called the Ukrainian president with a request to halt hostilities around the crash site," Jean Fransman said.
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko told Rutte that he would take all measures "to allow investigators access" to the scene, according to the government spokesman.
"Rutte expressed his concern about the fact it appeared the investigators may today yet again not reach the site. This is important because we want to get to the crash site as quickly as possible to get the victims and bring them home," Fransman said.

In the past two days Kiev's forces have launched several short-range ballistic missiles into areas in east Ukraine controlled by self-defense forces, CNN reports, citing U.S. government sources.
The move "marks a major escalation" in the Ukrainian crisis, CNN said.
"Three U.S. officials confirmed to me a short time ago that U.S. intelligence over the last 48 hours has monitored the firing of several short-range ballistic missiles from territory controlled by Ukraine government forces into areas controlled by the pro-Russian separatists," Barbara Starr, CNN's Pentagon correspondent, said in a live report.
Short-range ballistic missiles can carry warheads of up to 1,000 pounds (450 kg) and are capable of killing dozens of people at a time, Starr said.

Two days of shelling in Gorlovka, in the Donetsk region of Eastern Ukraine, have resulted in 31 civilians being killed there, local authorities say. Ukrainian troops and anti-government forces are blaming each other for the bloodshed.
The town of Gorlovka witnessed more shelling Tuesday morning, RIA Novosti news agency reported.
"Over the past 24 hours 17 residents of Gorlovka, including three children, have been killed in the center of the town, which got under artillery fire. 43 civilians have been wounded," Itar-Tass reported the press service of the Gorlovka city administration as saying.

More than 48,000 Ukrainian citizens have already applied for refugee status in Russia, the Russian Emergencies Ministry press office said Tuesday.
"To date … over 48,000 Ukrainian citizens have asked for temporary accommodation and refugee status, over 27,000 [refugees] have applied for Russian citizenship," the ministry reported.
Earlier on Tuesday, Russia's children's rights ombudsman Pavel Astakhov reported that more than 230,000 Ukrainians have been granted refugee status in Russia.
This is developing into a human tragedy of biblical proportions. This RIA Novosti article was posted on their website at 11:49 p.m. Moscow time Tuesday evening---and it's worth reading. I thank Roy Stephens for sending it.
Russian President Vladimir Putin promised Tuesday to help in evacuating children who require urgent medical assistance from violence-hit eastern Ukraine.
The head of the presidential human rights council, Mikhail Fedotov, told Putin at a meeting that the Kiev government keeps silent on Russia's offer to evacuate the children.
"I expect that we will be able to agree with human rights activists and Ukrainian authorities," Putin said. "We will try to help."
The Russian leader added: "This is an important humanitarian sphere and I would ask you to seek the response of the Ukrainian colleagues in a non-conflict manner."
This commentary appeared on the RIA Novosti Internet site at 5 p.m. Moscow time on their Tuesday afternoon. It's another contribution from Roy Stephens.
Imperial Washington is truly running amuck in its insensible confrontation with Vladimir Putin. The pending round of new sanctions is a counter-productive joke. Apparently, more of Vlad's posse will be put on double probation, thereby reducing demand for Harry Macklowe's swell new $60 million apartment units on Park Avenue. Likewise, American exporters of high tech oilfield equipment will be shot in the foot with an embargo; and debt-saturated Russian state companies will be denied the opportunity to bury themselves even deeper in dollar debt by borrowing on the New York bond market. Some real wet noodles, these!
But it is the larger narrative that is so blatantly offensive—that is, the notion that a sovereign state is being wantonly violated by an aggressive neighbor arming "terrorists" inside its borders. Obama's deputy national security advisor, Tony Blanken, stated that specious meme in stark form yesterday:
"Russia bears responsibility for everything that's going on in Eastern Ukraine" and "has the ability to actually de-escalate this crisis," Blinken said.
Puleese! The Kiev government is a dysfunctional, bankrupt usurper that is deploying western taxpayer money to wage a vicious war on several million Russian-speaking citizens in the Donbas—-the traditional center of greater Russia's coal, steel and industrial infrastructure. It is geographically part of present day Ukraine by historical happenstance. For better or worse, it was Stalin who financed its forced draft industrialization during the 1930s; populated it with Russian speakers to insure political reliability; and expelled the Nazi occupiers at immeasurable cost in blood and treasure during WWII. Indeed, the Donbas and Russia have been Siamese twins economically and politically not merely for decades, but centuries.

Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan says he will gladly return an award given to him by a Jewish-American association a decade ago in a letter released by his office, which also called on the US group to condemn Israel's government policies in Gaza.
The New York-based American Jewish Congress said in a letter to Erdogan last week that he had become the world's "most virulent anti-Israeli leader" and it demanded that he return the prize. He had been given the award partly for his efforts to broker peace between Israel and the Palestinians 10 years ago.
"Prime Minister Erdogan will be glad to return the award given back in 2004," Turkey's ambassador to Washington Serdar Kilic said in the letter addressed to American Jewish Congress President Jack Rosen.

A Chinese industry and commerce agency confirmed Tuesday it is probing US software giant Microsoft for allegedly operating a monopoly, according to The China Post.
"According to legal regulations, the SAIC (State Administration for Industry and Commerce) has set up a case to investigate Microsoft for alleged monopoly actions," the Chinese paper quoted the regulator as saying in a statement.
The inquiry came two month after China banned the use of the company's Windows 8 operating system on government computers, citing security concerns. Up to 95 percent of operating system software in the country stems from Microsoft.

By defaulting today, Argentina may trigger bondholder claims of as much as $29 billion -- equal to all its foreign-currency reserves.
If the overdue interest on Argentina's dollar-denominated securities due 2033 isn't paid by July 30, provisions in bond indentures known as cross-default clauses would allow the nation's other debt holders to also demand their money back immediately. The amount corresponds to Argentina's debt issued in foreign currencies and governed by international laws.
U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Griesa blocked Argentina's attempt last month to transfer the $539 million in interest after the nation didn't set aside money for holdout creditors, who won a ruling that entitled them to full repayment of obligations that Argentina repudiated in 2001. While Citigroup Inc. says there's little chance investors will invoke the pay-back clauses in coming weeks, potential claims are large enough to exhaust the country's reserves.

Goldman Sachs Group Inc's metals warehousing unit is exploring its first foray into China, and privately held C Steinweg has expanded capacity there, sources said, as a financing scandal in a major Chinese port fuels a scramble for market share.
The alleged scam - in which a Chinese trading firm is suspected by local authorities of fraudulently using a single cargo of metal as collateral for multiple loans - has shaken the confidence of banks and merchants in Western metals storage firms that rely on local agents to oversee warehouse operations.
It has intensified a battle between new entrants and entrenched rivals in the multi-billion dollar business of securely storing the world's commodities in China, the world's biggest producer and user of base metals.

The conundrum that is the gold price continues to confound. Last year the gold price dropped dramatically despite an enormous level of ongoing gold flows from West to East – particularly into China. Yet yesterday the reports of the lowest monthly level of net gold imports from Hong Kong into mainland China since January 2013 was followed by the gold price putting on something of a surge – it having been driven down to around the $1,290 level during the week, but then shooting up to comfortably above $1,300 in late trading Friday.
On the face of things the latest gold import figures via Hong Kong certainly suggest a sharp downturn in Chinese demand, which started to kick in after some exceedingly strong import figures around the Chinese New Year. As the table above shows import figures for the four months from March to June are very substantially below those of a year earlier – and overall, for the first six months of the year net imports via Hong Kong are down by 12% - but the trend is rather worse than that figure might suggest with the March to June period net imports down a massive 42%.
The decline in imports via Hong Kong is indeed an indication of falling Chinese demand so far this year and is supported by other data – notably the Chinese Gold Association's recent announcement stating that Chinese gold demand in the first half of the year was down 19.4% year on year to 569.45 tonnes, compared with 706.36 tonnes a year earlier. Thus the latest Hong Kong figures may not be indicative of the true fall in demand any more.
This commentary by Lawrie was posted on the mineweb.com Internet site on Saturday---and it's worth reading.
Sometimes I see an important economic or geopolitical event in screaming headlines and think: "That's bullish for gold." Or: "That's bad news for copper." But then metals prices move in the opposite direction from the one I was expecting. Doug Casey always tells us not to worry about the short-term fluctuations, but it's still frustrating, and I find myself wondering why the price moved the way it did.
As investors we're all affected by surges and sell-offs in the investments that we own, so I want to understand. Take gold, for example. Oftentimes we find that it seems to tease us with a nice run-up, only to give a big chunk of the gains back the next week. And so it goes, up and down…
The truth is—and it really is this simple, but so obvious that people forget—that there are always rallies and corrections. The timing is rarely predictable, but big market swings within the longer-term megatrends we're speculating on are normal in our sector.
This commentary by Casey Research analyst Laurynas Vegys was posted on their website yesterday.
BGG: Precious Metals. And I just wanted to sit down with you and ask you a little bit about the future of gold and the markets. You famously predicted the crash of 2008, 2009, and I loved watching your interviews on television where they would just laugh at you, and just ridicule you, but in the end you had the last laugh.
Peter Schiff: Not yet. Not even yet. Because the people that were ridiculing me back then are still ridiculing me, because I'm still warning that the real crisis hasn't even happened yet. Because everything that the Federal Reserve has done, everything that the government has done since the financial crisis of '08 has just made the problems that they were trying to solve worse. Problems that they caused.
BGG: They've learned nothing. They've learned absolutely nothing because they don't understand what caused it.
Peter Schiff: No, they still don't understand even after the fact. So we're going to live through a worse financial crisis. Next time I think it's going to be a dollar crisis, which is going to be much more painful than a banking crisis. And in that environment gold is going to shine a lot brighter than it did in the last crisis. And so the reasons to own it now are even more numerous than they were then.
There's a 13:11 minute audio interview, or you can read the transcript. It was posted on the birchgold.com Internet site on Monday.
Comex gold market data is likely corrupted to facilitate the paper gold market's domination of the physical gold market, Sprott Asset Management CEO Eric Sprott remarks in his latest interview with Sprott Money News.
Sprott praises GATA's work exposing gold market manipulation, cites GATA consultant Dimitri Speck's book "The Gold Cartel," and says he sees no need for a daily silver price-fixing mechanism. The interview is 24 minutes long but if you can read faster than you can listen, a full transcript is posted with the audio at the Sprott Money Internet site.
I thank Chris Powell for providing the above paragraphs of introduction.
The banks that conduct the century-old gold fixing and the London Bullion Market Association will seek proposals next month for a new administrator to run a revamped process for the benchmark by year-end.
The London Gold Market Fixing Ltd., which manages the procedure, and the LBMA will open a market consultation in late August and plan to announce a third-party administrator by the end of September, the association said in a statement today. The process will be open and not restricted to firms who pitched to run a mechanism that will replace the silver fixing on August 15.
The gold fixing company said July 16 that the LBMA will help with a request-for-proposals exercise and that it's seeking an independent chairman for the price-setting ritual that takes place twice a day by phone. A similar process for silver will be replaced by an electronic, auction-based mechanism run by CME Group Inc. and Thomson Reuters Corp. next month after Deutsche Bank AG's planned withdrawal would leave just two banks to conduct fixings for that commodity.
This Bloomberg article, filed from London, was posted on their website at 12:09 p.m. MDT yesterday---and I found it embedded in a GATA release.
"The central bank imposed interest rates are the source of global financial instability now and in the future," warns Grant's Interest Rate Observer's Jim Grant, adding that "The Fed... has manipulated us into a period of quite eerie stability and measured volatility."
Grant believes, given the values (and aware of the risks) that Russian "stocks stand to do very well," and also likes mining stocks as he warns credit markets are overvalued (especially sovereign debt). His conclusion, own gold as "it stands to benefit from the demonstrated, as opposed the theoretically likely, crack up of the [current] monetary arrangements."
Gold, he explains, "is the ultimate inoculation against the harebrained doctrine of modern central bankers."
This 2:34 minute video clip was embedded in a Zero Hedge piece from yesterday, but the video clip itself was M.I.A. inside the ZH piece, so I've posted it on its own. I thank both Phil Barlett and Elliot Simon for bringing this story/video clip to our attention.

I had to dig around a bit, but here's what it looks like when it finally turns into a Tailed Emperor butterfly.

Can you retire on an annuity?
Annuities are sold as a "set and forget" way to collect guaranteed income in retirement. But what your insurance broker may not tell you is, they also carry hidden risks. Before you commit a dime to an annuity, find out about these 3 dangers in a new independent report from Casey Research. It's a must-read for anyone considering an annuity—and it's free! (Plus: We do not sell annuities. This is completely unbiased research!)
Click here to read this free report, The TRUTH About Annuities.
Including the buying of new long contracts in the managed money category of some 20,000 contracts, the technical funds have bought an incredible 53,000 net contracts in COMEX silver futures since the beginning of June, the equivalent of 265 million oz. It is not possible that the buying of 265 million oz of COMEX silver futures over the course of 6 weeks would not result in more than a rally of close to $2 were it not for collusive and deliberate commercial selling designed to cap the price. Everything about the CME, which oversees COMEX trading, screams out that this is a criminal enterprise.
While this [past] week's COT changes are inconsequential, the same can't be said about the change over the past 6 or 7 weeks; I'm still shaking my head over what has transpired on the COMEX. Simply put, COMEX futures positioning is the sole explanation for the (tepid) price rise---and will, most likely, be the sole explanation for what occurs next. - Silver analyst Ted Butler: 26 July 2014
As I said in The Wrap yesterday, Tuesday was the day for the large traders on the Comex to clear out their August positions unless they were standing for delivery. And as I mentioned at the top of this column, gross volume was around 354,000 contracts yesterday---and with the exception of a few thousand contracts, it was all roll-overs out of August and into future months.
The rest of the traders have to be out today---and tomorrow is first notice day for the August delivery month---and I'll have all the details in tomorrow's column.
Here are the 6-month charts for both gold and silver once again.
I wasn't happy to see "da boyz' 'show up with their trading algorithms and drop the gold price below $1,300 spot at the London p.m. gold fix---but what can you do? JPMorgan et al run the precious metal show on the Comex---and nobody is going to stop them. I've said a number of times that precious metal prices probably fall under the national security umbrella now---and if that's the case, nothing will change from a price perspective unless it's allowed.
As I write this paragraph, the London open is about 30 minutes away. All four precious metals have done sweet tweet during the Far East trading session on their Wednesday. Net volume in gold is barely 6,500 contracts---and most volume is now in the new front month, which is December. Silver volume is hardly worth mentioning at 1,800 contracts. The dollar index isn't doing much.
Yesterday was also the cut-off for this Friday's Commitment of Traders Report---and it will be interesting to see how much of Tuesday's price action shows up in Friday's report. I'm not expecting much change in Friday's report, but my track record at guessing hasn't been that great for the last little while, so I'll just reserve judgment until then.
I'm heading off to bed earlier than usual this morning, because there isn't much going on anywhere. Gold and silver prices are flat now that London has been open about 90 minutes---and platinum and palladium are up a bit. Volumes are fumes and vapours---and that's being kind. As I fire this out the door at 4:25 a.m. EDT, net gold volume is barely 10,000 contracts---and silver volume is 2,800 contracts. The dollar index is now up 7 basis points. Nothing to see here, as the church mouse has obviously left the building.
As I said in Tuesday's column, I wasn't expecting much in the way of price volatility for the remainder of July---and so far this has turned to be the case. There's an FOMC meeting next week---and it will be interesting to see what "da boyz" have in store for us when the smoke goes up the chimney on Wednesday, or maybe sooner.
That's all I have this time. I hope your day goes well---and I'll see you here tomorrow.

I was up in Orlando this weekend with some friends, and one of them had just traded in his WS6 for a new CTS-V, very very nice car IMO.
We went to Old Town to do the skycoaster etc, then headed home........and had some highway fun on the way.
I had myself, and two guys in my car. I weigh roughly 160, friend was 110, and the other was about 170-180.
The CTS-V had two people total. He weighs prolly around 200, and his GF maybe 100. So about 140-150 lbd advantage for him.
It was cold out, prolly in the 40's. We started the race from around 70mph, I was in 3rd. We went up till 120mph, since I havent had a chance to get rid of the speed limiter.
Up until 110 which is the top of my 4th, we were dead even. As soon as I shifted to 5th he started to creep past me a bit. At 120mph there was maybe a 1/2 car between me and his rear bumper.
Looked up the stats and saw that they trap 109-110mph. Which is right where I trapped. Nice car, and has a lot of pull past 100+. Good race, he was suprised that he couldn't pull me until we got over 110.
Good times.

Dave Rapstad
Dave Rapstad's life was tragically cut short on Sunday evening April 27, 2014 in an automobile accident near Winston, Montana.
Dave was a happy, joyful, loving man who will be greatly missed by everyone who had the pleasure to meet him. Dave loved life, loved people, and never knew a stranger. He was full of enthusiasm and had a trademark laugh that came from his soul.
Dave was born in Billings, Montana on December 21, 1956 to Arthur and Loraine Rapstad. He grew up in Custer, MT, where he helped his parents run the Exxon Station. He was a hard worker and always ready to help anyone at any time.
After graduating from Custer High School, he moved to Billings and earned a degree from Rocky Mountain College. He then went to work for ASCS, and was soon promoted to County Executive Director. He supervised the Forsyth office before being promoted to the District Director position at the Farm Service Agency; which resulted in relocation to Miles City before making Helena his home in 1997.
Dave enjoyed boating, racquetball, and his beloved dogs. He is survived by his wife, Debi, sister Myrna, children Heather and Justin, grandchildren Ashly, Hailee, Haiden, Lucas, Logan, Jordan, nephew Michael and niece Michelle.
As a loved one said, "it will take an army to do what Dave did for the people in his life". His life ended fast and with fervor just like Dave lived each day, and our 'Papa' will not be forgotten.
The family invites you to join them in celebrating Dave's life on Sunday May 4th between 1:00pm and 5:00pm at the Rapstad residence, 1270 Lariat Rd. Helena MT, 59602.
Please visit www.aswfuneralhome.com to offer the family a condolence or to share a memory of Dave.

Report/gallery: Gonzalez-Asiku
Andreas Hale at ringside
Photos by Chris Cozzone
Jackson Asiku tried to fight with the heart of a Mexican on Mexican Independence Day, but that strategy played right into Jhonny Gonzalez' hand as the former WBO bantamweight champion claimed Asiku's IBO featherweight title with a resounding 6th round TKO stoppage.
It was a nice 29th birthday gift for Gonzalez who scored the 40th knockout career in impressive fashion in front of 1,153 at the Las Vegas Hilton on the card promoted by Roy Englebrecht and Promociones del Pueblo . . . click here for more

#1: Some of my hair won't curl--even when I wet it.
What should I do? I stopped perming in July 2009, big chopped this June and have a 3-4 inch pony tail but there is some hair in the front that seems permanently straight. Full disclosure--when I was transitioning and a little bit after the big shop I was getting the hair blown out and flat-ironed at the salon. I sopped when I discovered this straight problem but what can I do to get the hair back curly? Please help. I think I'm 3C. Does this mean I can't do blow-outs ever again. I was planning on doing it with the same stylist for Thanksgiving.
I appreciate your response in advance

Fox Pushes Debunked Myth To Attack Obama On Welfare Work Requirements
Fox News revived the debunked myth that President Obama "gutted" work requirements from the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program despite the fact that the claim has repeatedly been shown to be false.
Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy hyped a bill [1] introduced by House Republicans last week that seeks to block the administration from granting waivers to states under the TANF program. Doocy claimed the bill would "make work a condition for receiving welfare," and repeated the debunked myth that those requirements have been "gutted under President Obama."
But the Obama administration has not removed work requirements from welfare. In July 2012, the administration announced [2] that it would comply with governors' requests -- including Republicans -- to consider [3] proposals to create more efficient ways to report on the work requirement for people receiving TANF benefits. According to Health and Human Services, any program that weakened or undercut welfare reform would not be approved, and waivers would only be granted [4] to proposals that "move at least 20% more people from welfare to work."
The Center on Budget and Policies Priorities found that these waivers would strengthen [5] welfare reform by "giving states greater flexibility to test more effective strategies for helping recipients prepare for, and retain jobs." The New York Times reported [6] that the new requirements continued the administration's efforts "to peel back unnecessary layers of bureaucracy and allow states to spend federal money more efficiently."
But despite overwhelming reporting to the contrary, conservative media have repeatedly [2] pushed [7] the false [8] claim [9] that this plan "guts" welfare reform.
As NPR reported [10], following 2012 presidential candidate Mitt Romney's use of the claim in a political ad, "every major fact-checking organization" found the attack to be false. Politifact rated the claim as "pants on fire [11]" and The Washington Post's fact checker gave the claim four Pinocchios [12] (its highest rating). Factcheck.org found no basis [13] for the claim, explaining:
A Mitt Romney TV ad claims the Obama administration has adopted 'a plan to gut welfare reform by dropping work requirements.' The plan does neither of those things.
- Work requirements are not simply being 'dropped.' States may now change the requirements -- revising, adding or eliminating them -- as part of a federally approved state-specific plan to increase job placement.
- And it won't 'gut' the 1996 law to ease the requirement. Benefits still won't be paid beyond an allotted time, whether the recipient is working or not.
The Washington Post's Wonkblog noted [14] that unlike Obama, the Bush administration "pushed for a welfare 'superwaiver' that would allow states to waive just about every requirement, including the work requirement," a proposal which passed in the House three times.

Item Code: B2-FABN
As of 07 October 2016 this product ships with the updated diamond shaped RRS logo.
Screw-knob Clamp, 38mm jaws Mini-clamp with ¼"-20 threaded socket, 38mm jaws. The B2-FABN mini-clamp has one 1/4"-20 threaded socket for screwing onto a 1/4"-20 threaded post or stud. This is also the perfect solution for shoulder straps such as Black Rapid and camera neck straps. Why should you invest in a quick-release system? Because screwing your camera or lens onto a platform with standard ¼"-20 screw is tedious and insecure. Not only is it a hassle to screw your gear onto that platform, but once installed the camera or lens is free to rotate; there's nothing to prevent it from coming loose. Why invest your money in a tripod and tripod head only to compromise your shots with an insecure connection between camera and head? Instead, adopt the Really Right Stuff quick-release system. The Really Right Stuff quick-release system is based on the Arca-Swiss standard and has two parts: a quick-release clamp and a quick-release plate. You always need both pieces of the system. The clamp will stay on your tripod head/accessory all the time, and the plate will stay on your camera all the time. You will need to purchase a separate quick-release plate for each camera or collared, telephoto lens that you want to mount in the quick-release clamp on your tripod head. Clamp jaws open and close in one of two ways: by twisting a knurled knob on our tried & true screw-knob clamps; or by flipping a single lever on our innovative, patented lever-release clamps. Traditional screw-knob clamps are tried & true and can deliver slightly greater clamping force than our Lever Release clamps. "

Wayne Community College graduated its 63rd Basic Law Enforcement Training (BLET) class during ceremonies on Dec. 19. The 13 cadets who completed the college's academy received certificates to work as sworn law enforcement officers in North Carolina.
Certificates were conferred on
Remarco J. Atkinson, James V. Atkinson Jr., and Daniel C. Gurley of Pikeville;

Autumn M. Kahl of Seven Springs;
Joshua D. Leggett of Dudley;
Corey J. Mello of Kenansville; and
Amy L. Parker of La Grange.
Awards were presented to graduates for outstanding performance in various training areas.
Mr. d'Hemecourt was presented the "Top Gun" award for demonstrating the most overall proficiency in use of firearms. Cadets complete 48 hours of firearms work in both the classroom and on the firing range.
The Physical Fitness Award went to Mr. Davis, who excelled in all activities designed to prepare the recruits for the Police Officer's Physical Ability Test and timed runs.
Ms. Kahl earned Valedictorian honors by demonstrating excellence in both practical and academic areas of training, standing out in participation and attendance, and the best overall attitude in and out of class.

Mr. Rozzi and Mr. d'Hemecourt were selected by their peers to speak during the ceremony. Both spoke of the rigors of the program, the dedication and sacrifices of their loved ones and friends that allowed them to complete it, and the respect they have for their instructors and their new profession.
WCC Public Safety Division Chair Beverly Deans acknowledged the mental and physical challenges the cadets had faced during more than 600 hours of training covering 39 aspects of law enforcement and congratulated them for the commitment that got them through it all.
"You have now become leaders in the community. Your leadership qualities should include not just doing things right, but doing the right things," said WCC Law Enforcement Training Coordinator Angie Blizzard. "Always lead by example."
"Don't just be a great officer; be a great person." Mrs. Blizzard said.
With this graduating class, the school has produced 1,013 graduates since its inception as a curriculum program 1987. Currently, WCC graduates work for 51 different law enforcement agencies just in this state.
WCC's academy is accredited by the N.C. Criminal Justice Education and Training Standards Commission and N.C. Sheriffs' Education and Training Standards Commission through the N.C. Community College System.
Wayne Community College is a public, two-year college with an open-door admission policy located in Goldsboro.

"Colfer will be one of the most interesting pop culture voices of this generation." Indiewire
High school senior Carson Phillips (Chris Colfer,Glee) was destined for bigger things than his close-minded small town could ever offer. He was on a path to greatness, but destiny had a different plan when he was suddenly killed by a bolt of lightning in his school parking lot.
Demonstrating that life is what happens while you're busy planning your future, Carson recounts the last few weeks of his life via witty, insightful flashbacks, including a blackmail scheme targeting the popular kids in school that he concocts with his best friend (Rebel Wilson, Bridesmaids), a home life that includes a mother (Allison Janney, Juno, The West Wing) who's more interested in the bottle than her son's future, and an estranged father (Dermot Mulroney, New Girl, My Best Friend's Wedding) who suddenly appears with a pregnant fiancée (Christina Hendricks, Mad Men).

And he took the Sappho from the prytaneum, the work of Silanion!
If Athenian, he was entitled to a place by the magistrates in the prytaneum; if a Spartan, to a prominent station in the field.
The court in the precincts of the prytaneum, to the north of the Acropolis, was only of ceremonial importance.
Here in the prytaneum (Rolland's life is full of such mystical word plays) the young man found a friend.
And if I am to estimate the penalty fairly, I should say that maintenance in the prytaneum is the just return.
A prytaneum in a Greek city was a building belonging to the community, on the altar of which was kept the ever-burning fire.
The leaf was accordingly placed in a vessel of water, to preserve its freshness until Clinias returned from the prytaneum.
The Colacretae, who had done this work before, remained in authority over the internal expenses of the prytaneum.
But no woman is allowed to go into the prytaneum excepting the woman alone who plays the flute.
As Hestia had her home in the prytaneum, special temples dedicated to her are of rare occurrence.

True champions are made, not born. God builds champions and He wants to build you into the champion you were meant to be. Success is defined in today s culture mostly by monetary wealth. Leaders are defined by leading. But champions are in a class by themselves. They are not defined by money or followers, but by how they live and influence people in ways that glorify God and encourage and inspire others. Examining the lives of biblical and modern-day champions gives you the keys to becoming a champion through developing: · Stamina during challenges. · Winning character traits. · Integrity and trustworthiness. · Leadership qualities. · Solid moral values. Author and pastor Kenneth Ulmer offers guidance and advice in a world increasingly bereft of true champions. You will learn how to stay on track to becoming a true champion God s way, and not be tripped up as many self-described Christian leaders have been in recent years. Choose today to be a champion!

Kenneth C. Ulmer, DMin, PhD, is president of The King s College and Seminary, Senior Pastor of Faithful Central Bible Church, and Presiding Bishop of Macedonia International Bible Fellowship (based in Johannesburg, South Africa).
