Gold traded flat when it opened in New York on Sunday night...but early in Tokyo trading on their Monday morning, the price jumped up about ten bucks...and stayed there until 10:00 a.m. in London, where it jumped up a few more times, but ran into the proverbial brick wall shortly after 12:00 o'clock noon BST.
From that high, gold got sold down about twenty-five bucks...hitting it New York low at 10:30 a.m. Eastern time. After that, it slowly gained back some of that loss by 2:00 p.m...and then didn't do much going into the 5:15 p.m. close of electronic trading.
Gold closed the Monday trading session at $1426.30 spot...up $19.80 on the day. Gross volume was around 199,000 contracts...with a large chunk of that occurring early in the trading day...up until the London high of the day.
Silver's price pattern was similar, but the rally into the noon hour London high wasn't anywhere near as impressive as gold's. After that high tick, the silver price pretty much followed the gold price pattern.
Silver closed at $23.41 spot...up a whole 13 cents from Friday's close. Volume, net of roll-overs out of the May contract, was only 32,500 contracts.
The dollar index closed on Friday at 82.77...and gapped down about 10 basis points as soon as trading opened on Sunday night in New York. After that, it rallied to its high of the day...82.89...which came at the open of equity trading in New York...9:30 a.m. Eastern time. From there it got sold off into the close...finishing the Monday session at 82.65...down 12 basis points on the day.
A cursory glance at the gold and silver charts from yesterday shows no correlation between the precious metals and the dollar index.
Although gold's low came at 10:30 a.m. in New York, the gold shares didn't hit their nadir until 12:15 p.m. Eastern. After that they rallied weakly along with the gold price...and then traded sideways after 2:00 p.m. Eastern time. The HUI finished up 1.49%.
The silver stocks traded mixed...and Nick Laird's Intraday Silver Sentiment Index closed up a smallish 0.57%.

For whatever reason, the CME Daily Delivery Report was never updated from Friday's data. I'm looking at the correct page on their website at ten minutes before midnight Eastern Daylight time...and it has not been updated. Normally it's updated by 10:00 p.m. Eastern.
Well, the finally did the update, but it was after midnight Eastern time before the got around to it. I discovered it around 4:30 a.m. Eastern when I was doing the final edit. The report showed that 43 gold and 11 silver contracts were posted for delivery tomorrow...and the link to the current Issuers and Stoppers Report is here.
GLD took another big hit yesterday, as 589,959 troy ounces were reported withdrawn yesterday...and as of 11:55 p.m. Eastern time last night, there were no reported changes in SLV.
There was a decent sales report from the U.S. Mint yesterday. They sold 7,500 ounces of gold eagles...7,000 one-ounce 24K gold buffaloes...and 681,000 silver eagles.
Over at the Comex-approved depositories on Friday, they didn't report receiving any silver...but they shipped 702,149 troy ounces of the stuff out the door. The link to that activity is here.
Monday was another busy sales day at the store...but not quite as busy as Friday. Gold sales were really strong, as one customer came in and ordered an eye-watering amount of gold maple leafs. We still only have 100 oz. silver bars for sale...and there was still no change from the mints or the wholesalers, as none of them are taking orders.
Here's a chart that reader Richard Sypher sent my way yesterday. He borrowed it from yesterday's edition of the "Daily Pfennig"..and I thank him for it.
Here's your "cute quota" for the day...
Being a Tuesday, I have lots of stories from the weekend...and a goodly portion of them are gold related and well worth reading, so I hope you can find the time to spend on them.
U.S. banks won't be rescued by taxpayers, U.S. Treasury Department official Mary Miller said, rebutting investor skepticism that some lenders are too large to be allowed to fail.
"A common use of the too-big-to-fail shorthand is the notion that the government will bail a company out if it is in danger of collapse because its failure would otherwise have too great a negative impact," Miller, the Treasury's undersecretary for domestic finance, said in remarks prepared for a speech in New York late Thursday. "With respect to this understanding of too-big-to-fail, let me be very clear: It is wrong."
A debate from Washington to Wall Street over whether the Dodd-Frank financial overhaul law ends bailouts was re-energized after U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said last month that the size of the largest banks has made it difficult for the Justice Department to bring criminal charges when there is wrongdoing.
"No financial institution, regardless of its size, will be bailed out by taxpayers again," Miller said at a conference in New York. "Shareholders of failed companies will be wiped out; creditors will absorb losses; culpable management will not be retained and may have their compensation clawed back."
The moneynews.com news item from last Thursday falls into "I'll believe it when I see it" category...and I thank West Virginia reader Elliot Simon for today's first story.
From pristine beaches to palaces, entire islands and its London embassy, a nation in crisis is selling its assets, writes Harriet Alexander.
The sale of the coast at Afandou is part of the Greek government's desperate attempts to raise money by privatising its vast portfolio of state-owned assets – the largest fire sale in history. Some 70,000 lots are for sale, ranging from pristine stretches of coast through to royal palaces, marinas, thermal baths, ski resorts and entire islands. Only last Wednesday, bidding closed for a stake in the state gambling company.
On Rhodes, a mountainous island 50 miles long that was the mythical home of the sun god Apollo, huge chunks of prime real estate are now up for grabs. Beside the 1,850-hectare Afandou estate there is the peninsula of Prasonisi, a paradise for windsurfers, and the Mandraki marina in Rhodes Town, where the famous Colossus, a 100 foot high statue that was one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, once stood guard over the port entrance.
This interesting article appeared in The Telegraph at 6:00 p.m. BST on Saturday evening...and it's Roy Stephens' first offering of the day.
With European policymakers and politicians increasingly split over whether to relax austerity measures, Mr Deripaska, who controls Rusal, the world's biggest aluminium producer, said that the turmoil and high value of the euro meant his business would steer clear of investing in the eurozone.
"We need to be practical," he says in an interview with The Daily Telegraph. "With the high euro and the state of the markets in Europe, it wouldn't be reasonable to go anywhere near buying something significant in Europe at this moment."
Mr Deripaska, who is estimated to be worth $8.5bn (£5.58bn) in the latest Forbes rich list, making him Russia's 16th richest man, says he fails to comprehend what makes the euro 45pc more valuable against the dollar than it was at launch in 2002.

In the latest blow to Brussels' key policy, Luc Frieden, who is also a governor of the World Bank, aid Luxembourg was "very sympathetic" to the UK's objections and pledged to support its bid to block the FTT.
"We will certainly bring arguments in support of the case being brought by the UK government," Mr Frieden told the City Week forum, a financial services conference in London.
Thomas Donohue, the chief executive of the US Chamber of Commerce, was even more forceful. "I have news for you: we will not allow the FTT to happen," he said at the same conference.
Like Cyprus, tiny Luxembourg is a banking Mecca as well and, for obvious reasons, it's opposed to this EU-proposed Financial Transaction Tax. This is another story from Roy Stephens...and it, too, was posted on The Telegraph's website...this one from 3:00 p.m. BST yesterday.
Two interest rate benchmarks that banks were fined for rigging should be scrapped and replaced by indicators based on market transactions, a top U.S. regulator said on Monday.
The changes should also include benchmarks linked to gold, oil and other commodities, said Gary Gensler, chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission said.
Regulators from across the world are fleshing out changes to how two key interest rate benchmarks in particular, the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and its continental European counterpart EURIBOR, are compiled.
This short Reuters story, filed from London, was posted on their website early yesterday afternoon Eastern Daylight Time...and it's courtesy of U.A.E. reader Laurent-Patrick Gally.
A few weeks ago, GoldMoney research director Alasdair Macleod gave a lecture in honor of the classical economist Adam Smith, arguing that infinite government strangles the productive capacity of society and that fiat currency destroys economic calculation and private-sector wealth.
True enough, but wasn't that the objective all along?
Macleod's commentary is headlined "My Adam Smith Lecture" and it's posted at GoldMoney's Internet site. I found this posted in a GATA release yesterday...and I thank Chris Powell for writing the preamble for us. It's definitely worth reading.
Last week the International Monetary Fund reduced its global growth forecast and reiterated its call for some European countries to reduce their austerity drives. The harsh conditions imposed on bailout countries, most recently in Cyprus for example, have been vividly evident in affected countries. What has caused the IMF to change its view?
Late last year the IMF made a striking admission in its new World Economic Outlook. The IMF's chief economist, Olivier Blanchard, explained that recent efforts by countries to shrink their deficits through tax hikes and spending cuts have been causing far more economic damage than the experts had previously assumed. IMF forecasts for countries that pursued large austerity programs had consistently been too optimistic. Conversely, countries that engaged in stimulus effort, such as Germany and Austria, did better than expected. As it turns out, a $1 cut in a budget will result in between a $0.90 to $1.70 dollar cut in GDP, rather than the $0.50 the IMF had previously assumed.1 If true, governments globally should be focused on pursuing stimulus measures to boost growth, rather than insisting on major budget cuts.
In economic parlance, the new findings suggest that the fiscal multipliers are higher than anyone had previously estimated. Whoops… sorry Greece, Portugal and Ireland. Perhaps those budget cuts that were imposed as conditions of your bailouts were misplaced. This is a major finding from the body that structures bailouts for countries, but the evidence doesn't stop there.

Typically, gold traders have reported a massive jump in sales on the occasion of Gurupushyamrut, or Pushya Nakshatra on Thursday, considered an auspicious day for gold buying. Though the sales figures have yet to come in, retailers have seen good footfalls at their stores.
Gold buyers have been waiting in the wings to make the most of the dramatic fall in gold prices, and the run of festivals this week is turning out to be an occasion to buy.
In the last three days alone, jewellers have reported sales of around 15 tonnes of gold, double the normal sales. Jewellers expect the trend to continue from Thursday into Friday, April 19th.
This news item was filed from Mumbai on Friday...and was posted on the mineweb.com Internet site. I found this story all by myself!
Gold bars have sold out and gold accessories are going fast at the Caishikou Department Store, the largest gold dealer in downtown Beijing.
"No gold bars are available. Customers who have paid can pick up their bars in one week," said a notice posted at the store's gold sales counter.
Gold had almost exclusively been purchased by wealthy Chinese before the prices plummeted. But with prices dropping significantly, those with lesser means have seen an opportunity to invest in the metal themselves.
"I couldn't wait to buy gold. Many of my colleagues and friends have already made their purchases," said Zhang Jiang, a Beijinger who bought two gold necklaces and a five-ounce gold bar.
This excellent story was filed from Beijing...and posted on the chinadaily.com.cn Internet site on Saturday morning local time...and I thank Hong Kong reader Graham C. for bringing it to my attention...and now to yours.
As we noted last week, all around the world the demand for physical precious metals has soared in the days following paper gold's price collapse. As the FT reports, from Shanghai and Hong Kong to India, one dealer noted, "Older members who have been in the business for 50 years haven't seen such a thing." The feverish buying has left many of Hong Kong's banks, jewelers, and even its gold exchange without enough gold to meet demand.
Record volumes on Shanghai's exchange, lines outside Beijing jewelry stores, and the proximity of Hindu festivals drove "Indian physical demand and premiums," higher as the worlds two largest gold buying nations prompted one exchange CEO to note that we hadn't, "seen this kind of gold rush in over 20 years."
It would seem the concerted effort to collapse paper prices in London and New York has provided the rest of the world a multi-decade buying opportunity.
This piece showed up on the Zero Hedge website yesterday...and I thank Elliot Simon for sending it along. The original Financial Times story from which this ZH piece was derived, is posted in the clear in this GATA release...and is linked here.
The crash of the price of paper gold on Monday has unleashed an unprecedented global frenzy to buy physical gold and silver. All over the planet, people are recognizing that this is a unique opportunity to be able to acquire large amounts of gold and silver at a bargain price. So precious metals dealers now find themselves being overwhelmed with orders in the United States, in Canada, in Europe and over in Asia.
Will this massive run on physical gold and silver soon lead to widespread shortages of those metals? Instead of frightening people away from gold and silver, the takedown of paper gold seems to have had just the opposite effect. People just can't seem to get enough physical gold and silver right now. Those that wish that they had gotten into gold when it was less than $1400 an ounce are able to do so now, and it is absolutely insane that silver is sitting at about $23 an ounce. If the big banks continue to play games with the price of gold, we are going to see existing supplies of physical gold and silver dry up very quickly.
Well, they are now gone. This Zero Hedge piece from Saturday was sent to me by reader Marshall Angeles.
In a sea of unfounded opinions, the only thing missing so far has been an informed opinion on what is really happening in some market - be it the paper of physical, especially in the aftermath of the unprecedented scramble to buy physical, not paper, gold and silver.
So to avoid further speculation, and focusing on fact, here is what the CEO of Texas Precious Metals has to say about the state of the actual physical market, not the one where one can create "gold" and "silver" out of thin air. The bottom line? "The physical silver market is, in a word, ugly" and more importantly, "Last week, we turned away business in excess of 100,000 ozs of silver because of stock depletion." Bottom line: please keep selling your paper metals - the demand in the physical space has never been greater, and is absorbing all the available inventory at current prices.
This letter from the CEO of Texas Precious Metals to their customers falls into the absolute must read category...and I thank Marshall Angeles for sharing it with us.
The United States Mint has the production capacity to strike between 50 million and 60 million American Eagle silver bullion coins annually to meet demand, but ongoing inability to secure sufficient planchets stifles full use of that capacity.
Deputy U.S. Mint Director Richard A. Peterson told Coin World April 18 that the bureau is struggling with a lack of success in its efforts to find additional planchet suppliers. Currently, the Mint secures finished planchets from Sunshine Mint in Couer d'Alene, Idaho; Vennerbeck Stern-Leach in Lincoln, R.I.; and GSM Metals in Cranston, R.I.
Peterson said the West Point and San Francisco Mints combined are striking an average of 800,000 American Eagle silver bullion coins weekly. The San Francisco Mint is executing roughly 15 to 20 percent of the overall production.
Peterson said the distribution of production fluctuates depending on other demands at the West Point Mint. More production can be diverted to the San Francisco facility on weeks that the West Point Mint is producing coins for other programs, Peterson said.
This behind-the-scenes look at American silver eagle production makes for a very interesting read...and it's definitely worth your time, if you have it.
Theories about what triggered gold's recent drop are "cover stories," says Chris Powell, co-founder of the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee (GATA), an organization focused on exposing, opposing and litigating against collusion to control the price and supply of gold and related financial instruments.
The reason the metal fell was because central banks stepped in and gutted gold prices to avert a short squeeze in London, he noted.
Nobody sells gold like that in order to make a profit on a long-term gold holding," he told Yahoo.
"I'm pretty confident that it was a central bank operation. I can't prove it, but too much gold paper was dumped for the crash to be a natural event," he added.
This moneynews.com story was posted on their Internet site early Friday morning...and is courtesy of Elliot Simon.
More than a week after the spectacular attack on gold began, the World Gold Council, nominally the representative of gold mining companies and gold investors, has grudgingly taken note of it with a statement dated Thursday and issued Friday by the council's chief executive officer, Aram Shismanian.
"It has become increasingly clear over the course of the past week," Shishmanian said, "that the fall in the gold price was triggered by speculative traders operating in the futures markets. Their short-term view of generating a trading profit is in stark contrast to the views of long-term investors in gold, as evidenced by the massive wave of physical gold buying that began over the weekend and accelerated following Mondays further decline. The surge in gold purchases is spanning markets from India and China to the United States, Japan, and Europe. Buyers are viewing this as an opportunity to purchase gold at prices not seen in the past couple of years."
Chris Powell really tees up the WGC...and rightly so. There's more in this GATA release from yesterday...and I consider it a must read.
"It is in the interest of any government that wields a monopoly control over the issuance of fiat currency to restrain gold," Davies writes. "A rising gold price signals the debasement -- that is, over-issuance -- of paper money. It is this over-issuance that enslaves you to remain a wage slave until your dying days -- no retirement plans for you at the beach -- as your disposable income and savings are eroded out of existence.
"By suppressing the gold price and reweighting growth and inflation indices to mask the effects of rising prices, a government can maintain stable and lower yields in the domestic sovereign bond markets, thus enabling government to have a virtually endless supply of paper money. Remember, currency in circulation is created by central bank purchases of government debt, which then helps supply the financial system with money and credit.
..."Gold "has been at the mercy of a state-engineered correction using the threat of coerced European gold sales to scare holders into selling, and speculators jumped gleefully on the bandwagon.
I found this story in another GATA release from yesterday...and it was posted on the hindecapital.com Internet site yesterday.
Bud Conrad, chief economist for Casey Research, writes today that the recent plunge in gold prices seems to have been engineered by a single large participant in the market.
Conrad writes: "We don't have the name of the entity that did this. However, the way the gold was sold all at once suggests that the goal was not to get the best price. An investor with a position of this size should have been smart enough to use sensible trading tactics, issuing much smaller sell orders over a period of time. This would avoid swamping the market; and some of the orders would be filled at higher prices and thus generate more profit. Placing a sell order big enough to affect the overall market price suggests that someone with powerful backing wanted to drive the price of gold down.
This commentary from Bud was posted in yesterday's edition of the Casey Daily Dispatch...and it's definitely worth running through...as is the introduction by Louis James.
In the latest edition of his "Things That Make You Go Hmmm..." newsletter, Grant Williams of Vulpes Investment Management in Singapore joins the lengthening line of market analysts who think something is fishy about the recent gold price plunge, a line almost as long as the lines in front of gold shops in Asia.
Williams writes: "During my 30-odd years in finance, I have somehow weaved my way through many crashes, beginning with the 1987 stock market crash and including LTCM, NASDAQ, the Asian Currency Crisis, the Mexican Tequila Crisis, 9/11, and everything in between, and I can promise you that not a single one of those crashes, collapses, or crises ended up with retail investors stampeding to buy the asset that was supposedly cratering."
He adds: "Now, far be it from me to suggest that the central bankers of the world had any sort of hand in crashing the gold price -- I mean they are all such fine, upstanding servants of the public good and are definitely not short physical gold -- but said crash certainly doesn't hurt their desire to amp up the printing presses. ..."
Williams' letter is titled "Bulls Hit" and it was posted at the Mauldin Economics Internet site yesterday...and is today's headline story...and for very good reason, as it's a must read for sure. I thank reader Bob Tankel for being the first one through the door with this amazing essay.

Obviously the U.S. Mint can't keep up with demand for Silver Eagles...placing it in violation of the law which mandates enough bullion Silver and Gold Eagles must be produced to satisfy demand. But man-made laws can't trump the law of supply and demand indefinitely. Many are still quick to point out that any silver shortage is confined to a number of retail forms of silver and not in the wholesale industry standard form of 1,000 oz bars. That seems to be true, but the silver retail shortage is burning intensely and the winds are strong and the firebreak separating retail and wholesale are more likely than ever to be breached. The simple fact is that these retail silver shortages have been flaring up on a recurring basis over the past few years and the current one is the strongest one yet. From everything I've observed, the retail shortage is bound to intensify...and I won't keep it a secret as to what is the underlying cause - the price of silver is too low. - Silver analyst Ted Butler...20 April 2013
In a bifurcated market such as this one, it's always hard to determine whether the hourly and daily charts for gold or silver are remotely close to free markets. At times they have characteristics of a free market...but then a not-for-profit seller shows up...and that's it for the day...with yesterday's price action in both gold and silver being another case in point.
As Ted mentioned in his quote above, the silver price is too low...way too low...and so is gold. And as Grant Williams so exquisitely put it in his commentary posted above..."I can promise you that not a single one of those crashes, collapses, or crises ended up with retail investors stampeding to buy the asset that was supposedly cratering."
As the stories in the 'Crticial Read' section have pointed out...the precious metal markets are a firestorm of buyers...and they have sucked the pipeline clean of all precious metals world-wide over the last week. It will take many months to fill it again, if it can be done at all, especially if JPMorgan Chase et al continue to keep the precious metals at these giveaway prices.
We're still only selling 100 oz. silver bars at the store, as that's all we can get...and I'd bet that even this tiny window that we have into the silver market will disappear soon. There's nothing to buy anywhere, unless you want to pay a huge premium on e-bay.
Well, the Commitment of Traders Report was not changed yesterday, so I doubt very much if it will be until Friday's COT Report. At that point we'll find out whether this now-obvious false reporting from last week will be rectified at that point...or have JPMorgan Chase and the CME Group corrupted this report permanently? We'll find out soon enough.
This bifurcated market cannot...and will not last. The total disconnect between the paper market price and the physical market price has to resolved...and resolved quickly...as the pressure on physical demand has gone supernova. Now that this fire is lit, it will be self-sustaining until prices change...and change drastically.
The bullion banks and central banks are really up against it now...and have been caught in a trap of their own making...a plan that literally blew up in their faces. They discovered in a real hurry that the buyers of 2013 were wise to them...and didn't react the way they had back in 2011 when "da boyz" pulled this same stunt.
If there every was a time for the world's central banks to mark up the prices of all the precious metals [plus copper and crude oil] this would be the time to do it. But in order to kill demand in precious metals stone-cold dead...it will take a big price adjustment to do it...and that's why they're going all-out to rid themselves of as much of their short positions [and/or go long] in these six commodities as they can. And that's why the last COT report was a fabrication, as they don't want anyone to see what progress they're making.
I note that all four precious metals came under selling pressure in the thinly-traded and highly illiquid Far East trading session on their Tuesday, with the lows coming just moments before 3:00 p.m. in Hong Kong...which was just moments before the 8:00 a.m. BST London open. As of 3:30 a.m. Eastern time, gross volumes are already very chunky in gold...over 44,000 contracts...and over 12,000 contracts [net] in silver. The high-frequency traders are definitely out and about.
And as I hit the 'send' button at 5:10 a.m. Eastern time, I see that "Da Boyz" continued to be active even past the London open...and it should come as no surprise to you, dear reader, that silver was hit the hardest once again. As you already know, this precious metal is the biggest problem child of JPMorgan Chase, Canada's Bank of Nova Scotia...and HSBC USA. Gold is down about eleven bucks...and silver is down 65 cents..but was down over 80 cents at its 8:55 a.m. BST low. Gold's gross volume is now north of 58,000 contracts...and silver's net volume is just above the 15,000 contract mark. The dollar index dipped about 15 basis points going into the London open...and then blasted skyward. It's just an eyelash above the 83.00 mark as I write this.
I'm watching the current situation with morbid fascination and, like everyone else out there, I'm making things up as I go along, as this really is a Star Trek-type of precious metals market. Right now we're only at Warp Factor 1...but I don't expect that to last too much longer.
The rest of today's trading action, once we get past the noon silver fix in London, should prove interesting.
See you tomorrow.

Top Social Brands of 2009
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who in the land is fairest of all? Today I came accross a list of 100 top social brands of 2009 put together by a social media management company Vitrue. The top 10 is…
- iPhone
- Disney
- iTunes
- Wii
- Apple
- Xbox
- Nike
…and it looks weird. I really couldn't put my finger on it but then I read that:
Some powerhouse technology brands were omitted from the list as they provide the backbone of many social networks. While Google, Facebook and others are top brands, The Vitrue 100 is measuring companies that are using social technology, not those who are the technology.
So you have to take that with a grain of salt. A list of social brands that excludes Google, Facebook, Youtube, Ophra, etc. So I started to look for a second opinion. It wasn't too hard to find Social Radar Top 50 Social Brands of 2009. Their top 10 is a bit more believable (at least for me).
- iPhone
- YouTube
- Obama
- Mac
- Apple
- iPod
- Microsoft
Maybe it is my tech bias or something else but this list seems more in step with my understanding of top social brands. So what do you think?

I have been wanting a tummy tuck for the past 5 years! I thought it was unrealistic. But the more I tried to lose weight, the less successful I have become, and the more desperate for a TT I have become. Finally, after 2 years of saving, researching and planning, it is really going to happen! Scheduled - finally, 1/22/13
Let me share a little about me:
-I have 3 children. 15, 10, 7. All were large babies; 9 - 10.5 lbs. I feel pretty content with the reset of my appearance, but I have this "pregnant" belly that just won't go away.
-My husband is great about it, saying all the right things. You know, "I love you, you are beautiful to me". Which is fine, but I feel awkward in my own skin.
-My work, I teach preschool gymnastics, and feel awful that while my job is centered around health and fitness, I am so over weight.
- Goal, I want this large seemingly pregnant belly out of my way. I hope to have a flat stomach and that this surgery not only reduces that area, but that it spurs a personal desire to be more fit and healthy.
-Feelings, I am a planner and right now, with the kids, the house, work and everything else, I am way to busy planning to be off for 2 weeks to be nervous. If I allow myself to think about it for too long it will scare me, so I find something else to do. I have found this site, the info, the pictures, the blogs of others experiences sooooooooooooo helpful! I feel really prepared for what I am about to go through. I am excited to finally have this done!
I will post pics soon - before and afters

By Nancy Caivano
Serves 6
Cooking spray
1 lb asparagus
1/2 cup olive oil, divided,
plus olive oil for brushing
1 onion, chopped
5 cloves garlic, chopped (or 1 tbsp jar chopped garlic)
2 cups Arborio rice
1/2 cup dry white wine
4 cups simmering chicken stock
1 cup dried tomatoes, julienned, soaked in
hot water to cover for 30 minutes, water strained and reserved
3 tbsp butter
1/4 cup parsley, chopped
2 tsp basil, finely chopped
3/4 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese (or Parmesan)
3 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 cup Smoked Mozzarella cut in small dice
Spray grill racks well with cooking spray and preheat to medium-high heat. Brush asparagus well with olive oil. Grill asparagus until browned and softened. Remove to a cutting board and cut into thirds.
In a large saucepan, heat 3 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, and garlic. Cook until onion is translucent. Add rice, stirring constantly, and cook 5 minutes more, making sure rice does not brown. Add wine, stirring constantly, and let totally evaporate. When wine is evaporated, begin adding stock 1/2 cup at a time, letting each addition evaporate before adding the next addition.
After fourth addition of stock is added, begin tasting rice. Rice should be al dente when done. You need to keep tasting rice, because, depending on rice, you may or may not have to use all of the stock. Add dried tomatoes and asparagus after fourth addition of stock is absorbed.
After last addition of stock is absorbed, remove from heat, and stir in butter, parsley, basil and Romano. Season with salt and pepper. Lay risotto out on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Cover with plastic and let completely cool in refrigerator.
When rice is completely cold, remove from refrigerator and place in a large bowl. Stir rice to remove clumps. Combine reserved tomato water with vinegar and remaining olive oil. Stir well to combine. Add dressing and mozzarella to risotto, and toss to coat well. Refrigerate, covered until ready to serve.

Did he say he had ruled it a NC at all mate, due to the reasons stated above?
Printable View
Did he say he had ruled it a NC at all mate, due to the reasons stated above?
i worked the UCC show. no one was lied to about any weights. weigh ins were public for all to see
It's been rectified. That's a joke that they'd even attempt that - it's no grounds for NC (and likely only half a tale anyway).
So let me get this right...
He took a fight after a surgery, the opponent changed last minute, he still accepted even though the opponent was over the weight initially agreed, lost and is now asking for the result to be overturned?
If Sherdog are willing to change records because of fighters/managers emailing them then i shall be undefeated by the end of the week ;D
Question: A fighter accepts a fight on the day, against an opponent who he is told by the promoter is a certain weight. It transpires after the fight that the opponent was in fact a considerable amount heavier. Is that grounds for a no contest? Obviously we'd like to think that promoters would be honest about a fighters weight - but is it the responsibility of a fighter/coach to ask to see their opponent on the scales, otherwise accept the fight 'sold as seen'?

Floral Guernsey
Guernsey is a very special place for lovers of flowers and gardens. Packed into this Channel Island's easily accessible 25 square miles, there is just about every floral attraction that you could ask for.
In order to focus the Bailiwick's appreciation and commitment towards this natural beauty, Floral Guernsey was set up in the 1990's. In 2004, Floral Guernsey became part of the Events Group as one of the specialist interest groups. Floral Guernsey oversee, fund and work with the Floral Guernsey Council, which is a local body made up of volunteers.
The main annual activity organised by the Council is the Floral Guernsey Community Competition, which takes place in July. The concept behind the event is to encourage all sectors of the community to work together to improve and regenerate their local environments through imaginative planting of trees, shrubs and flowers, attractive landscaping, conservation and recycling projects and cleanliness initiatives.
Each year a local community represents the Bailiwick in the 'Britain in Bloom' national finals.
Other main events organised by Floral Guernsey include the Spring, Summer and Autumn Festival Weeks. More details on these events can be found on the official Floral Guernsey website, at http://www.floralguernsey.gg.
Who are Floral Guernsey?
There are currently seven voluntary members sitting on the Floral Guernsey Council. These are: Tony Spruce (Chairman), John Woodward (Vice-Chairman), Jane Russell, David Miller, Helen Litchfield and Evan Ozanne. Peter Falla, the Marketing Director for Culture and Leisure works closely with the Council, as the liaison to the Department/Events Group.
If you would like any further details on the work of Floral Guernsey, please contact Peter Falla at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Can this product be used as external antenna of Innovations rfid ID-2 reader?
a question relating to the demonstration video here
Does it read 2 tags/cards one after another, if the tags/cards are not put together in stack?
Also i found another limitation of using 2 or more readers in the same range from http://bildr.org/2011/02/rfid-arduino/
It says "more than one reader right next to each other can cause none of them to work due to interference."
Anyone has a solution for using 2 readers (next to each other) to read 2 cards?
I also would like to know the power limit of this thread. Any one has a schematic for heating circuit, please let me know. Thanks
No public wish lists :(

Outsourced AR Isn't Making The Connection To Their Sales Enablement Value
Posted by Ellen Carney on March 12, 2010
- 438 Recommendations
- 2 comments
A lot of emerging companies think they've "arrived" when they've launched their first analyst briefing "tour." Oftentimes, these start-ups have very small to no marketing function internally, instead turning to outside agencies for public relations, marketing communications, and of course, the debut to the analyst influencers. These small firms feel confident that once they've placed themselves in the hands of the seemingly capable agencies, they'll get all the ink and influence needed to execute the hockey-stick growth curve they've presented to their board and investors. The agency then scurries off, schedules a bunch of analyst briefings, and gives themselves a big pat on the back: mission accomplished! The appointed briefing time comes, the firm's show dog delivers the pitch, and then. . . the promise of a successful briefing fizzles.
Earlier this week, I had a briefing with just such a start-up. The agency dutifully sent me the slides in advance and, as analysts are inclined to do, I took a look. . . and was left wondering just what value this agency was providing to this client. Why? The slide deck, while short, did nothing to sell this company to me, the analyst. Here's the start-up's value proposition:
To this end, Company X seeks to design a system leveraging the latest technologies and utilizing a common processing engine and user interface to provide an integrated, easy-to-use, cost effective solution for financial institution.
The start-up's strategic direction?
Our goal is to provide a product that:
- Reduces costs
- Provides new products and services to attract new customers and create new fee income
- Improves the customer experience
- Helps customers be competitive
Whoa! Buyers don't care about products, they care about outcomes.
When I asked the agency rep, who in this case had the title "Vice President and Group Director," what role they had in helping their client with the content, he told me that he just passed on to me what the client had sent to them. . . I proceeded to spend the next half hour telling the show dog, who's title was EVP of Sales how he should change the deck to catch an analyst's (and prospect's) attention. Hey, wait a minute, isn't that the job of the AR firm?
Let's face it, analyst interactions are fundamentally sales enablement opportunities. The whole idea of talking to analysts is to get them talking about the start-up to potential buyers. PR/AR firms should be doing more as sales enablers to be sure that their clients are all tee'd up with solid slide decks, Web sites, and so forth BEFORE they talk to the analysts. I realize that their clients may not be paying them to look at their decks, but come on; the agency's reputation is really what's at stake here. I may not remember the names of the start-up in a month, but I won't forget the name of this agency that abjectly failed to act in the best interests of this client.
Outsourcing AR
Comment from null on Tue, 03/16/2010 - 13:45
Interesting view on the role of how analyst relations professionals interact with you as an analyst. It surprises me to hear you say that you prefer interactions where you are "sold" on a client. While I agree that presentations need to appeal to an analyst, many analysts I work with welcome the opportunity to show a value-add in terms of how they can bring additional insights to a client and deepen relationships.
I've blogged about it here: http://blogs.hillandknowlton.com/arcade/2010/03/16/outsourcing-ar/ and welcome an open dialogue on how AR professionals and analysts can better work together.
Outsourced AR
Comment from null on Sun, 05/02/2010 - 16:20
I think that many PR Agencies tend to treat analysts like they do journalists and set up meetings as part of their checklist. I agree however that the job of a PR/AR Agency is to educate the customer in the true value of the working with the analyst, do research on the analyst and share with the customer, create a Q&A for the customer and of course edit and customize the marketing materials/ppt for each analyst briefing. We do that for our clients but unfortunately many start-ups and agencies dont understand that they have only one chance to make a first, and lasting impression...

JIM CROCE: Philadelphia Concert to Mark the 40th Anniversary of His Death
A concert marking the 40th anniversary of Jim Croce's death is set for his hometown, Philadelphia on September 21st. The folk-rock duo of Terry Cashman and Tommy West -- who were Jim's producers -- will perform, as will a number of other friends and colleagues from the city's '60s folk music community.
Broadcaster Gene Shay, the founder and original emcee of The Philadelphia Folk Festival, will host.
Though unable to attend, Croce's son AJ supports the event, which will be held at the Upper Darby Performing Arts Center. He says in a statement, "I am very touched that you are celebrating my father's music. I know that my father would also be very touched that you still listen to his music and support it, and that it means so much."
A graduate of Upper Darby High School who was the classic "struggling musician" for years before his 1972 breakthrough with "You Don't Mess Around with Jim," Croce died in a plane crash on September 20th, 1973, near the end of a lengthy concert tour.

Major holiday in Turkey :(: Costa Serena Cruise Review by crunchytaco
Overall Member Rating
Major holiday in Turkey :(
Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean
Embarkation: Venice
The food was average. I always walked away full. However, at the end of the trip I was looking forward to going home and eating something delicious. Desserts at the buffet were not my idea of what a dessert should be (two thumbs down).
The staff was so very nice and helpful.
The ship seemed very clean and I was pleased with my room.
We didn't take any of the excursions. We are used to traveling and we decided to do our own thing. However I heard from an American couple that some of the English speaking excursions were canceled.
I felt as if the entertainment was for older people. I watched more TV on the ship than I do at home. Which oddly enough I was fine with, it was somewhat relaxing.
One thing that I found annoying was the people on the ship. They constantly tried More to cut in front of you. They had no idea how to stand in line. Im sure its just a culture thing, but it was irritating.
My major complaint is that we had two stops in Turkey during Feast of Sacrifice which is a major holiday and lasts four days. Lots of places were closed including the Grand Bizarre and the Spice Bizarre. I felt a little ripped off due to this. Why even have two stops in a county where places are going to be closed? No apologies for this or anything.
Luckily, Ive been to Turkey already...
On these nights we boarded the ship early.
Ive decided that I will go on a cruise again. Overall my experience was pleasant. But Im not sure if Ill go on another Costa Cruise. Less

New Kind of Computer "Never Crashes"

System could be useful for mission critical applications, such as combat robotics
Professor Peter Bentley
of the
University College of London
and his colleague
Christos Sakellariou
aren't impressed with most everyday computers, which aren't very fault tolerant and can only multitask by flipping their cores between various sequential instruction streams in a program.
He describes in
an interview
, "Even when it feels like your computer is running all your software at the same time, it is just pretending to do that, flicking its attention very quickly between each program. Nature isn't like that. Its processes are distributed, decentralised and probabilistic. And they are fault tolerant, able to heal themselves. A computer should be able to do that."
So the pair set out to make a new hardware and a new operating system, capable of handling tasks differently from most current machines, which even if "parallel" deal with instructions sequentially.
The new machine has instruction set pairs that tell what to do when a certain set of data is encountered. The instructions-data pairs are then sent to multiple "systems", which are chosen at random to produce results. Each system has its own redundant stack of instructions, so if one gets corrupted, others can finish up the work. And each system has its own memory and storage; so "crashes" due to memory/storage errors are eliminated.
Comments Prof. Bentley, "The pool of systems interact in parallel, and randomly, and the result of a computation simply emerges from those interactions."
The results will be presented at an April conference in Singapore.
The team is currently working on coding the machine so that it can reprogram its own instructions to respond to changes in the environment. That self-learning, combined with the redundant, pseudorandom nature of the system would make it quite a bit more
similar to a human brain
than a traditional computer.
Potential applications for such a system include military robotics, swarm robotics, and mission critical servers. For example, if an unmanned aerial vehicle sustained damage or was hacked, it might be able to reprogram itself and escape errors thanks to the redundancy, allowing it to fly home.
The computer is somewhat similar to
so-called "probabilistic" chip designs
, which are being researched at other universities.

As all Elvis fans know, our Elvis was the first entertainer to beam a T. V. show around the world via satellite. If this wasn't enough of a feat, he did it for charity--as all proceeds on the show went to the Kui Lee Cancer Fund in Hawaii. This is part of the American Cancer Society. We were all very proud of him. Shortly after the show, some of us came up with the idea of honoring Elvis with a trophy plus furthering the cause for the Kui Lee Cancer Fund.
Coons, Elvis and Tom Diskin. Feb. 17th, 1973
The idea was to present
the trophy to him while he was in his 8th engagement at the Hilton Hotel in Las
Vegas. Since my reservations were for the 17th of February, we made that our
deadline. Of course, at that time, I had no idea that I would be the one to
present Elvis with the trophy, which was probably a good idea since I probably
would have had a nervous breakdown long before the l7th.
I wish there had been
time to contact more fans, but we did well for the time we did have.
The actual presentation
was just before the dinner show on Saturday evening, about 8:30 p.m. It was just
a short time before when I discovered that I would be allowed to present the
trophy to Elvis myself. Close to collaspe over this delightful development, I
soon found myself waiting in the hallway of a large dressing room area,
backstage, just across from the elevator that would wisk Elvis to the stage.
Armed guards admired the trophy, saying it was prettier than an Oscar. But I
wasn't listening to them very attentively for I could hear Elvis laughing and I
knew he was in his dressing room,. down a short hallway and around a corner.
A door opened--there were quick booted steps, and Elvis was walking towards me. Needless to say, he looked his usual, handsome self even though he was sufferizig from a severe touch of the flu. As you can see by the photo, he was already dressed for the stage. Mr. Diskin made the introductions and told Elvis of our $200.00 donation to the Kui Lee Cancer Fund, showing him the check and telling him we were donating it in his honor. ( You can see the check in Mr. Diskin's hand as he handed Elvis the trophy ). That's the plaque, with the list of contributors, that I am holding.

Coons and Elvis on Feb. 17th, 1973 before his dinner show
Elvis accepted the
trophy, very pleased, and held it up high. He turned it around and around for
inspection as he said, over and over, " It's beautiful, just beautiful.
" 1 called his attention to the plaque and he studied it for awhile too as
he said, " Nice-very nice. "
All too soon, he was
given the word that he was due on stage. As he turned to enter the elevator, he
smiled that precious crooked little grin and said, " It was a beautiful
thing to do. Tell everyone ' thank you ' for me. " Then he was gone and a
magic something in the air went with him--to the stage of the largest showroom
in Las Vegas.
He did a fantastic show
that night. As I watched him perform, I kept going over and over the
presentation of a short time earlier. 'There had been a lot of work involved.
Getting it all together had been worth every minute, and more. Elvis seemed even
more pleased over our collection for the Cancer Fund than the trophy for himself.
He's a warm, giving human-being. God bless him.

Commerce, Insurance and Economic Development
Task Force Description
Members of the Commerce, Insurance and Economic Development Task Force believe that economic freedom is the cornerstone of prosperity. The Task Force promotes policies that enhance competitiveness, promote employment, encourage innovation and limit government regulations imposed on business. The Task Force develops model policy to facilitate the implementation of these policies in the states and educates ALEC members through Task Force meetings, issue briefings, policy papers, and special workshops.
Major Issues
Transportation and Infrastructure—The Commerce, Insurance and Economic Development Task Force encourages the use of public-private partnerships (P3s) related to transportation infrastructure. P3s—mutually beneficial contracts between government and private sector entities to deliver public services—accelerate delivery schedules, decrease costs, and transfer risk away from the government. Members of the Task Force also support policies that give states the flexibility to determine how best to utilize their transportation dollars. This keeps decision-making in the hands of those who best know the intricacies of their state's transportation infrastructure needs, thus providing better services at a lower cost.
Labor and Employment Reform—The Commerce, Insurance and Economic Development Task Force's model policies on labor preserve freedom of association for employees while protecting worker choice and taxpayer dollars. To those ends, Task Force model policies promotes collective bargaining transparency, secret ballot elections, and employee choice regarding union involvement.
The Task Force also examines the effects of overly burdensome occupational licensing requirements on the economy and supports policies that allow individuals to pursue lawful occupation free from occupational regulations unrelated to public health and safety.
Financial Services—An area of policy that affects most Americans every day, the insurance, banking and lending industries are home to thousands of complex regulations. Members believe that in many instances, over-regulation of a financial tool lessens its availability and ultimately harms the consumers the regulation was intended to protect. For that reason, members of the Task Force work on model policies that allow free markets to flourish while protecting consumers.
Good Governance Practices—To ensure Americans receive the most return on their taxpayer investment, state governments should operate with transparency, accountability, and efficiency. To achieve these goals, members of the Commerce, Insurance and Economic Development Task Force have passed model policies that identify situations in which private sector involvement can provide public goods and services in a more efficient manner, provide for the detection and elimination of fraud, waste and abuse in government, and require accountability in the regulatory process. These commonsense solutions can limit the size and scope of government by streamlining the process by which the government operates.

Euro Steady at $1.30 As Portugal Looks for 1.3 Billion Euros to Cut
The euro continued to trade at $1.30 on Tuesday morning despite uncertainty following Portugal's rejection of European Union mandated spending cuts.
The common currency has been under a lot of pressure recently as many of the bloc's southern members have begun to openly resist the eurozone's austerity driven recovery plan.
The Portuguese Constitutional Court turned down the next round of budget cuts ordered by the EU which would have slashed spending on state workers and retirees.
Following Friday's ruling, Fitch Ratings released a statement on Monday cautioning that if the ruling stands, it could prove to be a difficult roadblock for Portugal in the future. At the moment, the ruling suggests that spending cuts which affect the city's workers are unconstitutional.
Now, Portuguese Prime Minister Pedro Passos Coelho is tasked with the near impossible feat of finding the 1.3 billion euros elsewhere in his budget.
Portugal was to receive two billion euros this month as part of its bailout plan, but now officials say the earliest the money can be released is May, if it is released at all.
According to the Wall Street Journal, German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schauble told a German radio station that Portugal had no choice but to find the money elsewhere.
When the Portuguese government has come up with a viable solution, they will have to present the plan to the troika, which will assess whether or not it is acceptable.
In Brussels, US Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew met with EU leaders on Monday before heading to Frankfort where he spoke to European Central Bank President Mario Draghi. So far, the meetings have centered on moving forward with plans to create a unified banking system and ways to stimulate the region's recovery in the months to come.

I became 6-year-old on July 4. I can't believe that I am 6 now. The advantage of getting older is that I can get a senior citizen discount.
But.... now my mom changed my food to "Senior" food. It is a sudden change for me. On July 3, I had my regular food, and from July 4, I am eating "Senior" food.
It is too much for me to be a senior...
Today is my mother's day off. She woke up late and ate breakfast with me. I was wondering if she is going out today or not.... I was hoping she goes out so I can spend all day sleeping as usual.
Time passes... she is still here... The clock hit 2 o'clock. She is still here... I decided to go up to her bed and to take a nap... Five minutes passed.... She jumped on to her bed and started bothering me.
Mom.... please go somewhere.... I need a time off.
Wednesday is such a bad day for me...
Today, my mother took me to my doctor's office for my "favorite" nail trimming. During the consultation with him, my mom told him that I haven't been eating well since she changed my food as directed by Dr. P.
Then Dr. P told her "Don't worry about it too much because she is not that skinny."
Dr. P, what do you mean "She is not that skinny" ? Are you talking about me?? I am doing my best to stay fit!!!

A Philippine beauty queen was crowned the new Miss International in a pageant marred by allegations of intimidation that kept her predecessor away.
The new winner pledged to use her title to help typhoon victims in her home country.
"This is my dream. Thank you Japan for giving it to me," an ecstatic Bea Rose Santiago said at the event held Tuesday evening in Tokyo.
In a break with pageant custom, she was crowned by Spain's 2008 Miss International and not by her immediate predecessor, who was barred from the glitzy show.
Departing title-holder Ikumi Yoshimatsu told journalists this week that she had been asked by organizers to stay away from the event.
Yoshimatsu said since winning she has faced a running battle to maintain her independence from the management agencies that form the backbone of Japan's entertainment industry.

Eric Gordon Gives Impromptu Statement About His Injury & Fans' Irritation
New Orleans Hornets shooting guard Eric Gordon is out indefinitely with a right knee injury. The constant knee issue has kept Gordon from playing in 59 of a possible 67 games during his Hornets tenure.
Before the start of practice this morning, Gordon addressed the situation with the following extemporaneous speech to the press.
"First off I just want to say it's an honor and privilege to be part of this organization as a players. I know things haven't been going as well as far as being injured since I've been here. I have had a reoccurring knee injury since I've been here and it's just tough as a player to go through these things. You're looking for the best for yourself and to even look forward to see what's best for the team.
"I look forward as a player to helping this franchise and I always look forward to the best to help this team win. And it has been frustrating. Very frustrating as a player not to do your job every day. I only played nine games last year and I haven't played a game this year. I haven't played any preseason games. So it's been very frustrating watching the guys play and me not being a part of it.
"I know from the fan's perspective, it's frustrating for them. But for a player, it's most frustrating for me and this organization. I wanted to put it out there. I know it's tough. But it's almost all on me. This is an injury I'm battling with. It's just a tough time right now for me, and I'm just going through it.
"This is a great city and a great organization and I definitely want to be a part of it. But being a part of it, for me, is about playing. What's (keeping) me from playing is having this injury. I'll just go on from there."

Just want to ditto on the ring gap. I cant see how KB pistons would negate the common timing practices of performance SBC engines. 34-36 degrees is typically what an engine likes depending on the total package. It seems to me that KB is just trying some CYA since the hypers are much more sensitive to detonation than forged pistons.
I have also delt with dirttrackthunder and they are very good to work with as well as knowledgable about the parts they sell. You could also look into a set of SRP pistons. I am running them with CA Zgap rings in my turbo engine and I must say they are very nice. They are a little more than the wiescos if you count ring costs, but are basically JE pistons in a different box from what I have been told.
Here is where the Kieth Black states below:
"Ignition timing on most KB installations should be 30-34 degrees total with full mechanical advance dialed in. More advance may feel better off the line, but the engine lays down as the combustion chamber components come up to temerature. "
Any thoughts?
I agree with Chris. KB is just covering their butt.
Not really worth discussing or arguing over. The fact is ring gap is the biggest risk to those pistons after that it is detonation. If you had a combo that liked 40* of timing and didn't detonate the KBs would work fine. Changing the type of piston has little to do with your timing curve/amount (IMO).
I think the reason they put that *note in there is because these pistons will mostly be used in street cars or cars that run on pump gas for the most part. With todays pump gas you can't get away with a bunch of timing so they are trying to keep people out of detonation. Not many pump gas engines are running more than 34* of timing anyway.
