Boart Longyear down another 9% LOL
Collins foods (CKF) making me regretful this week! They've jumped out of nowhere! After holding for so long last FY... sold out for moderate profit instead :(
STW Group (SGN) paying a nice div soon in Aug!
Total is 6% (franked up to 8.5%)... good acquisition recently too! Brokers have targets 10-30% higher than its current price! NICE!
strange day on the blog
sort of like being in a fog
looking for tips for a portfolio mix
but only getting politics
mitch set the pattern
but seems to have passed the baton
to our resident blog champ
to give the political rant
still its all good fun
when all's said and done
Time to short on banks ? Banks really struggle to go up on current price. Any thoughts ?
Good luck with that, personally I think they are getting ready for another 10%!
Before you short the banks you should have a talk to the blogger on here who started shorting CBA at $60.
I am sure he would advise you against it!
You are kidding aren't you?
LOL that's what you said when I started shorting FMG for the 3rd time at 3.80. All the way up to $6. Oh and the $60-74 short was closed after CBA plunged back to $65. Sorry.
Renewable Energy Polyanna's think Crescent Dunes Power Project is Base Load Power station. It only produces 110MW and can supply power for only 10 hours. ROFLMAO
I suppose the nonsense going on in the senate will mean the market will return to the uncertain days of the previous Labor/Green Government.
Was enjoying the ride created by a Government that actually has policies outside of running up debt!
Read the Budget. Abolishing the carbon tax wipes out $7bn in gov't revenue pa. Rising unemployment due to gov't cutbacks contracting the economy increases welfare payments and reduces tax collections from lost wages, profits and consumer spending. The deficit is going to increase, not shrink. Don't believe everything Joe Hockey tells you. He trained as a lawyer and knows very little about economics.
Easy to see the bears getting smashed, all they are talking about is politics!
LOL voted down... stings huh?
Mate my portfolio has a beautiful shade of green, the colour that would make any bear envious. But if it makes you feel better keep with the politics, probably gives you something to do...lol
1:43 pm - "fat, infertile roosters...."
I thought the New York Post was talking about NY modern liberals ...
Also translates to libs here?
Gawd for a while there I thought they were talking about moi!
"The government's leader in the Senate Eric Abetz and Environment Minister Greg Hunt are about to do a press conference in the Blue Room at Parliament House.
The holding music for the Blue Room feed is calming and flute-based. With a somewhat bossa nova beat.
Just what we all need right now."
One of the best days in politics in a long long while. LOL
Those who care are probably reading and commenting in the federal politics section.
It a shame we don't seem to be able to trust politicians. What on earth is Clive Palmers game & as for Ricky Muir, well Iam unable to print my comment on that thing.
lets remember the coalition was voted in & lets get rid of prefernce voting - 1 vote to be counted only for who you vote for.
Re Credit Suisse on Alumina seeing reduced costs, actual profits and resumed dividends with a $1.60 price target, I note that Citi today released a report predicting declining margins, no dividends and a price target of 90c. Judging from the performance of my AWC shares today, the market is agreeing with Citi. :(
AGO posts record supply beating guidance and goes down all day while XRO yes zero dividends and zero profits goes up. .
cheer up
You compare a mining company to a software company? No wonder you are confused...
Yest ASX loses 60 points. ASX up 420 points in almost 5 years loses one seventh of it's gains in one day. Dow lost 100 points or one seventieth of it's gains .Down the same in the GFC and down the same every time since.no upside.. ASX is a joke.
Tears are filling up and im drowning slowly.
No point giving you an explanation macca - it would fall on deaf ears. Let's just assume it's all a giant conspiracy.
What a joke. What a sick joke. Etc
Anthony Albanese: "How's that pledge that you would refuse to talk or negotiate with any cross bench MPs or Senators working out for you, Tony?"
He he.... love it!
having a bad day? lol
Sure, Tony A Corp definitely has a BAD day. More to come . Day trader , watch out...lots of opportunities - up, down up down down Up! LOL
The Bronze Age was 3000-1200BC, not 1500AD.
CommenterHistory failLocationTaylor's LakesDate and timeJuly 10, 2014, 12:33PM
This comment encapsulates it all! You have the temerity to suggest I am the history failure when it is YOU who fails with your historically ludicrous suggestion that The Illiad was SET IN 1500AD. GUFFAW!
I suggest your economic forecasting skills are intertwined with your history skills, that is tantamount to ZERO ability.
Consequently we have nothing to concern ourselves with! The Illiad IS from the Bronze Age!!! Back to school with you! GIVE UP FORECASTING ECONOMIC ARMAGEDDON!
Who said the illiad was 1500AD? The Amsterdam study that points to the housing study wasn't in the bronze age was it sunshine. need a hug?
Now you know why Al Gore got up on stage with Clive Palmer. LOL.
Double Dissolution? With Tony Abbott close to the most unpopular pm in Australian history me thinks not.
Carbon tax repeal voted down.
I like it! Good for green jobs, good for the environment and good for Australia's reputation being the highest per capita carbon polluters.
Day trading view:
Approaching BUY level difficult to stay away from because of yield.
Expect further small rises daily.
Value there however could take a while to emerge. I have sold.
Buying cautiously
Agree today's comments
Bought last month and expect surge in next 3 weeks simply because of lack of top quality stocks. As stated IMO $6 by year end.
All my opinion and no responsibility taken
Valid opinions, Harry, and I concur. I bought ANZ on 1 July for $32.97 and was going to top-up today when I saw it touch $33.01. Watching it closely today and may buy if it drifts back down or maybe give it another day.
what is happening in western economies (and Japan) is not even close to a 1 in a 100 year event. It has not happened in centuries and I would argue human civilisation hasn't experienced the sort of monetary conditions we now bear witness to, since the Bronze Age"
The latest archaeological evidence suggests Stonehenge served no religious purpose at all for the ancient Britons. In actual fact it was the meeting place of ancient Brittany's central bankers, where monetary policy was determined for the Isles! Back then , though, they ignored economic conditions back on the European continent!
Hmmmm.... to raise rates or leave them unchanged? The perennial question.
Housing GLOOM!
After reading this Im ay actually go back and audit that procedure for the boss.
I now realise there is far far worse dribble out there to put me to sleep.
So recently I was looking at a career change into financial planning after seeing some of the dubious advice my friends had paid insane amounts of money for (late 20s early 30s) and some of my parents friends had lost all their money to a: bad advice; and b: ongoing fraud on the part of the financial planner in SMSF. With a university degree in accounting and finance graduating on the deans honours roll, I have been variously described as 'too intelligent' and, in a email mistakingly forwarded to me by a firm discussing who to appoint, described as an 'excellent candidate, but I think his concern for the client and honesty means he would be unable to drive growth in the business.' HAHAHAHA. This from a company advertises 'we put your interests before our own.' Smirk. Parents got a letter from ASIC saying their former financial planning firm had had their license suspended after finding they had used internally driven models to provide advice which benefitted the firm rather than providing advice based on the clients need. Sister, a very rich doctor, described her visit to her CBA financial planner recently as a 'sales pitch' and walked away disgusted, and will take $1mil + in loans away from them. In 20+ interviews, the only thing I realised was I wouldn't have put any money with any of them.
Salt, everywhere.
With a university degree in accounting and finance does not make you a good punter , except you are good in card counting, but then you get banned at the casino anyway, and yes, I wonder a lot of times how people can earn 1oo'ds of 1000'ds and have no clue what to to with it
Story time!
Does anyone know why AMC shares have fallen by so much today?
Does anyone know about FTH. 20cents in May now 5.33.
One trade today up 1.06 or 20%. What is going on there.
That chart is crazy....although not much volume..
Spi futures spent 13 hours going up from 9.00pm to 10.00 am and within 1 min 10.09.49 to 10.10.48 managed to lose the lot. What happens to the ASX at 10.10 ??????? Computers ( Big ones is my guess ripping the fork out of the poor little punter.
Today's headline probably reflects where the real value is in the market if you have the stomach for the risk. Many small miners at very good prices, just need to pick the right ones and preferably one the Chinese would like to own too. I have one that is going gangbusters at the moment and am thinking it is a definite takeover target which is also supported by a M@A analyst.
Not game enough to name the little champ for fear of the Mitch effect on its price if I do!
Brilliant article from Nick Hanauer (internet billionaire) on why the minimum wage should be elevated and why the middle class spending is the key : http://tinyurl.com/ondx787
Doesn't that fly directly into the face of Liberal policy and the thrust of the Budget. They just don't seem to realize that the more people have to spend, the healthier the economy and the higher tax collections are.
In a globalised world where international trade is cheap and almost duty-free, the minimum wage needs to be set in relation to the composition of your work-force. A high minimum wage will acutely affect the low-skilled strata of your population, and possibly deem them to a future of no employment.
We can see this phenomenon happening in for example Scandinavia. These countries used to have a highly educated and efficient work force and were quick to jump on the globalising free-trading bandwagon, which allowed them to set high minimum wages. But because of their large immigration of low-skilled and under-educated populations they will now have to lower their minimum wage or face disastrous consequences.
Spend spend spend hey Mitch. That is literally all the Labor governments know how to do. That's why they got booted out of government. Because they couldn't responsibility manage the government's finances. Historically they have shown to do this again, again and again.
Dont forget he is saying the US should raise the minimum wage to $15 US...or about 40 cents less than our minimum wage, so we have dont it already, we can pat ourself on the back and feel good and go about making more money now.
@SI, read up on what contributed to the Great Depression causing world-wide economic misery that lasted 10 years, facilitated Hitler's rise to power and ended only with the start of WW2. Then perhaps you might realise why l;abor was advised by Treasury, the RBA & independent economists to spend, spend, spend in response to the GFC. If even just basic economics was taught in schools Abbott & co would have gotten nowhere near the gov't benches but would have instead been laughed off the election hustings..
Thanks for providing a bit of context Lion. In Mitch's utopia nobody would pay tax and everybody would just live off the same amount of welfare.....and the ALP, unions and the unemployed would rule the world.
"Swiss commodities giant Glencore is understood to have made an informal approach to Syrah Resources that could value the graphite and vanadium junior at up to $2 billion"
Maybe they should pay their taxes instead.
If the govt got 30% tax out of Glencore, Apple, Amazon, Google (the supposed pillars of the future mining and software ) then they could easily balance the budget. Or just collect the FBT rort for leasing foreign luxury cars !
The age of entitlement continues for the big corporates.
comment @11.14 am
Bring on the interest rate cut, make it 50 basis points while you are at it Glenn.
Only way to get the Aussie down, been telling you for months on end!
MMS heading back to four year lows. Salary "packaging" - what a rort.
With all the saving measures getting blown up in the Senate maybe Tony the Tory will abolish the two biggest salary packaging rorts - novated leases and $30K gross up tax exemptions for NFP staff and their unlimited tax deductible meals.
Four years ago MMS was about $4.70.
SBM having a blinder, up 8.7%, another gift.
I like it!
oh dear.
"We are not afraid of China"
Julie Bishop forgetting which side her bread is buttered on.
""In 500 years, Dutch interest rates have never been lower."
How appropriate especially since the study of property price increases over the longest period is also over hundreds of years in Amsterdam. That study proved that real property prices increase at less than 1% pa.
"what is happening in western economies (and Japan) is not even close to a 1 in a 100 year event. It has not happened in centuries and I would argue human civilisation hasn't experienced the sort of monetary conditions we now bear witness to, since the Bronze Age. How and when it all ends, no honest person knows. But I strongly suspect that when it ends, it will end badly."
Housing boom!
@Allan, 500 years ago there was more available land and a lot lower human population...Supply...Demand...but its a good story of yours
Good point Allan - we must understand that there is a big risk - though not inevitable - that the 500 year civilisational boom that started with the renaissance will come to an end now. It starts with the financials but it won't end there.
The crazy financial policies we have are just the symptom of a greater malaise. So sound money policies alone won't solve it, but if we're even to begin digging ourselves out of this we've got to stop printing money, stop borrowing money, stop the artificially low interest rates and the fiscal stimulus, stop the waste, stop the bureaucracy, stop the entitlements, stop the welfare, etc. and then maybe we'll get through this.
Oh dear, I thought it was obvious but that study is over 500 years to today not about 500 years ago. And now we have towers of flats, floorspace from thin air.
even with the lowest rates in 500 years I still couldnt quite afford to live in the 9 streets district of amsterdam. and boy would I love to live there.
Oh and that study was in central Amsterdam where according to spruikers prices should have gone up at 7% pa not less than 1%. The house in the study should be $10 billion by now.
Wow there was monetary policy in the bronze age!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THAT IS AN ABSOLUTE BEAUTY! THE FUNNIEST THING I'VE EVER READ! Did anyone tell Homer? Perhaps the reason Achilles was so pissed was because the Trojans were charging him exorbitant interest on his 30 year mortgage for his palace back in Greece!
Housing GLOOM!
Do you think the Trojans were charging the Greeks 5.25 % interest p.a back in the bronze age, or was it closer to 5.5%.
"@Allan, 500 years ago there was more available land and a lot lower human population...Supply...Demand...but its a good story of yours."
Really Wish? They had modern transportation and communications like trains, cars planes that opened up vast tracts of land to development in the pre industrial era.
Stick to stock picking mate.
The Bronze Age was 3000-1200BC, not 1500AD.
50" TV's now < $490 from online retailers and now using less than an old incandescent bulb in power.
High street, high rent, high markup retail is dead and coal burning electricity is heading is in a death spiral.
Two industries we can do without.
Eds - suggestion - when posting upcoming announcements (i.e.ABS Labour Force or Japanese PPI today) a time for the announcement would be helpful if it occurs within the trading day. (i.e. Interest rates usually @ 2.30 pm)
10 bagger in the making? Discovery Metals DML have made a few very positive announcements of late and tomorrow are due to announce the final stage of re-finance deal. With Cu price up the sky is the limit if this producer can turn itself around.
@happy hippy, I like your thinking tomorrow is the big day, refinancing and its to the moon.
Sounds risky too me, how many units have you bought and what price?
300,000 @ 0.038. Have been in for a while.
good bet, hope it keeps going for you
"Melbourne rents rise as potential buyers bow out.
It is becoming harder to rent a unit in Melbourne, with rents rising for the second consecutive quarter, a new report has found. But some tenants will be feeling the sting more than others.
The median weekly asking rent for units has increased 1.4 per cent to $370, while house rents have remained flat at $380, according to Domain's Australian Property Monitors June Quarter Rental Report released on Thursday.
The senior economist from Domain Group Andrew Wilson attributes the increase to the low number of first home buyers in the local market and strong population growth.
Unit renters in the inner east felt the biggest sting with rents rising by 2.8 per cent, followed by the south east with 1.8 per cent."
"house rents have remained flat at $380"
And apartment rents have only ticked up because of the number of brand new blocks of flats popping up like mushrooms. They drop pretty quick once they shine has rubbed off.
Housing boom!
Strange that you can rent a house for $10 more a week in Melbourne opposed to a unit. Doesn't sound right.
@DR most apartments are inner city, whereas the houses for rent are outer burbs...
What kind of person invests $500k to make $380 a week before expenses? LOL
Yeah I'll go with the official stats from the ABS rather from real estate industry insiders.
"The median weekly asking rent for units has increased 1.4 per cent to $370"
So it went up from $365 to $370. Wow that extra $5 a week will sure come in handy. LOL
I wonder how much strata/property management fees have gone up?
Well, my weekly rental has gone up once over a four year period and that was by a total of..... wait for it........$10............
adjust that for inflation and I'd say it's actually getting cheaper for me to live there!
@ Justin credible. I don't think they invest $500k? Are you ignorant with rage? Your argument should be that a loan for $500k with $385 would leave investor negatively geared, with backside hanging out on a $450K loan. Its the risk porportional to the loan. He/she probably has invested $50-60k. He stands to get locked into loan if value plummets or gets out at a loss of his $50-60K, but not $500k.
Or gets margin called, can't cover the capital loss to restore his lvr and loses $150K.
Housing boom!
Negative gearing supports the unproductive real estate industry and prevents FHBs.
Most goes to the highest earners as well. Tax the poor and give to the rich. Way to go for a productive economy. Or you could look at Germany, which has long term rent, no housing boom,. and the most high tech productive economy in the world.
Close my Navitas position for an easy 5.3% :)
Was way oversold yesterday!
CMG - Another share i quite like.
10% dividend and PE of 12.5!!!
It has a nicely boxed in chart. Ready for breakout?
Dividend coming up in early September.
Yep one I hold too! Surprised the jobs data a couple weeks ago didn't shoot it up! I'm holding for div anyway!
Commsec has the PE at 6.5 which is lower than Amscot stats. Perhaps Commsec sees higher earnings?
I'd go with the Iress stats. It's ~12 with 4eps.
While our RBA is encoraging Australia to take more risk ( because it is reducing fix interest rate ), US FOMC is warning investors are becoming complacent, who is right?
The dow is at record highs so maybe both.

Jack Nicholson's 'glandular' womenJack Nicholson says the difference between men and women is "glandular".
The 70-year-old actor - famed for bedding a host of beautiful ladies half his age - insists "fashionable" theories about the psychological differences between the sexes have no founding.
He confusingly said: "These issues between men and women are not psychological. Look, remember what a gland is. Most of these are glandular issues. A gland is what allows that mother to lift that truck off a child. Whatever intelligent design is, it's not going to leave the continuation of the human species up to fashion crazy, flitting mentalities. It's in those glands."
'The Departed' star also offered his unique musing on why the 'honeymoon period' of relationships only lasts for 18 months.
He added to Parade.com: "The infatuation cycle of 18 months hasn't changed a lot since the monkeys. Look at the numbers. Eighteen months is nine months doubled. A woman's entire system is set so that when you're having that procreative act with a woman, you're dealing with a being whose actual cycle is nine months. It doesn't have to do with her brain. It has to do with her entire bodily system, which is there to overcome the brain. We don't legislate for this stuff. We don't out-think it. You cannot change these fundamental things that we are as human beings - but you can adjust to it."

A Lake Tahoe Wedding That Feels Like Home
Jessie and Nathan met almost 12 years ago at the start of college at beautiful UC Santa Cruz, but it took until graduation in 2004 and Jessie's impending departure to New York City for them to realize they were more than friends.
Eight years, three cities, two grad schools, and two dogs later they have decided to make things official. Nathan and Jessie envisioned a natural, rustic setting for their wedding, where they could dance under the stars and have the freedom to make the event our own. After learning of the Tahoe Tree Company and saw the beautiful garden and layout, the rest fell into place.
Jessie and Nathan love to garden and entertain friends in their own backyard, and felt that a nursery would be the perfect place to celebrate their relationship and "plant the seed" for the rest of their lives together. With loved ones coming from all over the country, it was important to pick a destination where they would all be able to spend time together and relax for the entire weekend.
Tahoe is a one-of-a-kind, magical location, and their absolute favorite spot to spend time as a couple and with friends and families. They opted for family style dining, with local, seasonal ingredients and pie for dessert to continue the feel of a backyard celebration.

On Thanksgiving (November 22) evening, the Spike Lee's Michael Jackson: Bad 25 documentary aired.
The documentary, which focuses on Michael Jackson's record-breaking album Bad, features commentary from Kanye West, ?uestlove, Cee Lo Green, Mariah Carey, Chris Brown, and others.
West referred to Jackson's influence on the rapper's style. "I think the 'Bad' moment outfit-wise was far more influential than the 'Thriller' moment. The 'Thriller' moment might have been more iconic, but the 'Bad' moment was more influential. I almost dress like that today."

Hornswoggle surgery
Since he has not been utilized on television in quite some time now, a lot of fans might have forgotten about Hornswoggle. He provided an update on his condition on social media recently. The man legally known as Dylan Postl recently underwent arthroscopic shoulder decompression surgery. He is not expected to be back on the road with WWE anytime soon. His last televised match was on Smackdown back in the beginning of October.

All I want for Christmas is you – and loads of stuff
'I don't want a lot for Christmas. This is all Drew's asking for. Clothes, a man, a bag, more presents. And some boobs to make you phwoar'
Dear Mr Santy Claus,
I know it's almost Christmas. I know I've been good. And I've certainly bad! So here's my list for Christmas.
1) A great big pair of boobs
Just a big pair of massive, voluptuous, bra popping, eye goggling, pair of boobs. The ones that don't move, the ones that just sit there, the ones that never sag, and the ones that make men… The ones that needs more than one pair of hands, the ones that bounce when you dance.
So, Santa I would love a great big non-hairy pair of boobs!
2) A man
Just a nice, tall, dark, hairy, tattooed, bearded man!
You know the type of guy that is all over me like a rash, the type of guy that worships the ground I walk on, the one that brings me flowers. The one that only ever stares at you.
A guy who can laugh and not cry about how shit his life is. A guy who can actually make the time to call and text you to wish you good morning and goodnight. The type of guy that will buy you a great big diamond rock that you cant even lift of the ground.
So there you go Santa, I would love to have a real man.
3) A bag
Just a lovely leather skull studded great big bag.
You know the one I can carry all my crap in, like 50 types of gloss that I will never use. A bag I can carry old rail tickets in because I'm so lazy to throw them away. The kind of bag that I can find a spare £1 and 1p in. The kind of bag I can fit my life in.
The bag I can fit a bag into, and then another bag inside that. The kind of bag I can get my hand stuck in when there's old chewing gum growing at the bottom of it.
A bag that is so cool it needs a bag of its own.
In brief, I'd love a bag that's like a rucksack disguised as a handbag.
4) Shoes
Just a lovely pair of 12" heeled shoes.
Ones I can break my neck in as I get overly dosed up on liver wrecking tequila.
The kind of shoes I can look like a stripper in but when you stand next to me you are practically talking to my belly button.
The kind of shoes I can be a giant in. So I can be taller than anyone in the clubs. The kind of shoes I can carry as my toes are crippled from the end of the night!
Please Santa, I would love a pair of stripper heels.
5) Makeup
Loads of lovely, glossy brightly colored makeup.
The kind of makeup that comes in a heart shaped vanity case that has about 50 pulley outey drawers.
The kind of makeup that has 50 shades of blue, green, yellow, pink that I could slap on my face to look like an overly bad tranny. Oh wait I can check that one!
The kind of makeup that I can apply with those 'lil heart-shaped brushes that can only hold one brush stroke at a time. The kind of makeup that I will never ever use in my life.
So Santa, I would love a great big vanity case of makeup that I will never use again.
And last but not least, Santa…
6) Clothes
Just a bunch of overly-large clothes.
You know the kind of clothes that never fit or look remotely attractive.
The kind that has a huge reindeer on it. So the kind you will only ever be able to wear it for Christmas only and not even for the year after as reindeers will be so outta fashion.
The kind of clothes that just hang off you that you know there's no receipts for.
The kind of clothes that you are forced to wear and have to parade over every social network site out of guilt.
So Santa, that's my list. Can you please help?
From the blondie you loved sooo dearly last night.
Drew-Ashlyn Cunningham
PS Can you please bring my underwear back too!
Drew-Ashlyn Cunningham won hearts and won over minds against prejudice across the UK when she was one of the stars of Channel 4 show My Transsexual Summer. She now contributes regularly to Gay Star News.

The Best Free Software for Students
We all know school is expensive, and while we have to save our pennies to pay back our student loans, we don't have to spend oodles on software. A lot of software is free online, especially for students. You just have to look past the shiny, expensive boxes. We've gathered a list of the best free software for students for when you need to edit that video for history, create a presentation on "The Catcher in the Rye," learn a new language and whatever else you can pack in your schedule.
Apache OpenOffice (Windows, Mac and Linux)
Microsoft Office Home & Student with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote and OneDrive goes for $139.99 to download on one computer. That's more than a year's worth of Netflix subscriptions. Instead, Apache OpenOffice is a free download and you're not restricted to using it on one computer. OpenOffice includes alternatives to all Microsoft Office applications, plus the ability to draw 3D illustrations and create mathematical equations. Download it here.
GIMP (Windows, Mac and Linux)
Yes, you can do a lot with Adobe Photoshop CC, but it also comes at a cost of $19.99 per month ($240 per year). GIMP is a free download that has long been popular as a substitute for Photoshop, and with good reason. It works. You can enhance, retouch and add to photos in the same way you can on Photoshop.Download it here.
That video project isn't going to edit itself. While Adobe Premiere Pro CC goes for $19.99 per month and Final Cut Pro X is $299.99, Lightworks is a completely free download just for students. Along with all the usual features such as file type conversion, audio manipulation and adding transitions, this software lets you share edits in real time for group work. You know Pulp Fiction and The King's Speech? They were edited with Lightworks. Download it here.
Picasa 3 Photo Editor (Windows and Mac)
Owned by Google, Picasa 3 Photo Editor allows you to organize, share and edit photos with Google+, Blogger and YouTube with the click of a button. Picasa has basic edit tools like crop, straighten, redeye and color correction, but also gives you more than 24 filters that change the look of your photos, and fun photo and movie collage settings. Like Facebook, Picasa has face recognition and makes suggestions based on friends in your Google+ circles. We like it so much we gave it 4 out of 5 stars in our review.Download it here.
Audacity (Windows, Mac and Linux)
Audacity is an open-source, cross-platform software program that media and music majors can use for editing sound. Through Audacity, you can record live audio, convert tapes and records, edit sound files together and more. Your next audition tape will simply blow them away. Download it here.

|NRCS seeks applications for financial, technical assistance
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in Colorado recently announced funding is available to help farmers and ranchers implement conservation practices, as part of the Ogallala Aquifer, Lesser Prairie Chicken and Sage Grouse initiatives.
These initiatives target efforts to address local resource concerns for important Colorado wildlife species and water quality and quantity.
NRCS accepts applications on an ongoing basis. There will be two funding cycles in 2012. The first funding cycle will be March 30 and the second will be June 1.
"The Ogallala Aquifer, Lesser Prairie Chicken and Sage Grouse initiatives are a few of several landscape conservation initiatives that maximize our conservation efforts to address some of Colorado's most pressing natural resource challenges," said Phyllis Ann Philipps, state conservationist, NRCS, Colorado.
NRCS' landscape conservation initiatives use a systems approach that focuses technical and financial assistance to implement a suite of conservation practices to address specific resource concerns. Through the Lesser Prairie Chicken and Sage Grouse initiatives, farmers and ranchers are incorporating conservation practices to improve healthy plant and animal communities by implementing practices such as prescribed grazing systems, fence marking, range plantings, brush/pinon-juniper management and cross fencing into their agricultural operations.
The Ogallala Aquifer Initiative will allow producers to install conservation practices that directly benefit water quality and water quantity issues.
Conservation assistance is available to producers through several 2008 Farm Bill conservation programs, such as the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP).
Producers interested in becoming a part of the Ogallala Aquifer, Lesser Prairie Chicken or Sage Grouse initiative, or any other NRCS programs and services, should contact the local USDA Service Center at 854-2812 or visit www.co.nrcs.usda.gov for more information.

Ashlynn Booker's double in the bottom of the seventh gave Long Beach State their first lead of the day.
Feb. 23, 2014
Cathedral City Calif. - Long Beach State won a wild back-and-forth contest with Syracuse Sunday 7-6 following a walkoff double by Ashlynn Booker in the bottom of the seventh inning. Hannah De Gaetano was also a key contributor, with two hits, an RBI and a run scored against the Orange.
Erin Jones-Wesley pitched a second straight complete game to improve to 4-3 on the year with the win, one where the 49ers never led until the final pitch.
Syracuse (4-6) opened up the scoring with a three-run inning in the first. Shirley Daniels led off the game with a single, and Syracuse was able to load the bases with one out. A hit batter, a single and a sacrifice fly brought across three runs before the 49ers could get out of the inning and spotted Syracuse three early runs.
Long Beach State (9-4) was able to answer back in the bottom half of the inning. Shayna Kimbrough led off with a walk for Long Beach State, and Cya Neal brought her in with a triple, her second of the year. De Gaetano followed with an RBI single to cut the Syracuse lead back to one.
Both teams traded solo runs in the third inning, and the 49ers were able to tie the score in the fourth. After surrendering an unearned run in the top half, Booker reached base on a walk, and Darian Tautalafua homered for the second game in a row to tie the game at 5-5.
After a scoreless sixth fifth, Syracuse once again took again the lead with an unearned run. Down to their final three outs, Long Beach State was able to rally for the win. With a one-out double, De Gaetano kept the LBSU hopes alive, and Ashley Holmes singled to tie the game. Sarah Carrasco singled to move Holmes into scoring position, and Booker's double into the gap in right ended the game in favor of The Beach.
Next up for Long Beach State is hosting duties for the Long Beach Louisville Slugger Invitational, held from Feb. 27 through March 2. The event will be held at three venues, the 49er Softball Complex at Long Beach State, Mayfair Park in Lakewood, Calif., and at Cal State Fullerton.

Featured Essays
Cultural Learning
Patrick Riley, November 19, 2015
Shortly after arriving to Colorado Springs in late December 2013, there was an issue with some family I have here, and I was battling homelessness a week after getting into town. The homeless community is an ostracized, unseen, or ignored culture in the United States. No one wants to have them around, and yet many of them are trying to get back on their feet so they can be productive members of society again. It is very difficult for those trying to get back on their feet. Most cities are not making it easy to do so.
Poetry PPCC Voice
The Mountain's Voice
Tim Garcia, November 19, 2015
I climb the mountain peak, in search of myself, but only found a blind man, wrapped in the lion's mane and nothing else. The mane glistened in the light of the sun, coarse and rough, matted and soiled, he carried the pain of the earth, of those unjustly embroiled.

Nature Serving Man: Man Serving Nature
Jacob Ady, February 12, 2015
My inspiration for the piece was how electronics serve man, and man serves nature, and vice-versa. But again, its how we came from nature, and in turn we help nature, like how a tree grows and gives us oxygen, and we prune the branches to make it stronger. It was a shout out, really, of appreciation for the simple things that are taken for granted.
Drops in the Bucket
Suzanne Calvin-Yim, February 12, 2015
I see a soldier who was brave and strong when others were tearing apart who she was as if it would impact what she offered. Her story is the story of hundreds of soldiers, and countless others who have stories that are different from hers, but are stories nonetheless. Soldiers who joined the military when society still referred to them as "kids." Soldiers who have left their families, their homes, and their ways of life. Soldiers who marry and forego honeymoons for overseas assignments or miss the births of their first children. Soldiers who hold their two year old children on their laps, then do not see those children again until they are a year or two older. Soldiers who kiss the people they love good bye one last time without really knowing it. Soldiers who are fighting for what I, a civilian, stand for.

OK, has anyone here done a 4X 36H rim? Because I think I need to do that.........
OK, has anyone here done a 4X 36H rim? Because I think I need to do that.........
nobody wants to help?
Without listing a hub and rim, it'll be impossible to tell what length spokes you'll need to get. And, yes, I use a 4x 36, front and back, although I didn't lace it myself (why bother if Empire will do it for me for free?).
oops, sorry, ok, i have sun BFR rims with 36H Bulletproof Hubs, front and back, and thanks for the future help, please post some pictures of the rim close up, cuz i really need help.......
I could probably find the innerdiameter of the BFRs pretty easily, but I've never even heard of Bulletproof hubs. Try calling Albes up and asking them what spoke length you'd need, they'd be more likely to know.
either way, can i see pics of your rims and the crossing pattern?
That's a bit old (I'm actually taking some new shots right now), but it's 4x front and back.
thanx, post ne new pics soon
also, can you kinda explain how its threaded up, like the pattern?
This picture will probably help a bit better.
thanks very mucho...
thanks for nothing

Op-ed: Our foes have no answer for Israel's submarines, which guarantee regional stability
Published: 05.04.12, 11:24 / Israel Opinion
Germany also agreed to subsidize the sixth submarine, as it did with the previous ones. The first two were given to Israel for free; the Germans paid for half of the third one, and will pay for one third of the next three. In an era where the Germans are cutting back their own military because of economic hardship, this is not a trivial matter.
Related stories:
While submarines are a powerful weapon of war, Israel's subs are in fact the surest guarantee for maintaining Mideastern stability and order. The subs guarantee that the risk of war will decline, rather than grow. With such power, Israel is the guardian of the sea and of stability in our region, and this is the best investment in regional peace.

Welcome to Social Changes -
This Site is being put together to hopefully with in weeks, months or even years we will see a
change, for the better, come about over here in the Philippines.
Everything begins in a slow process. It is just a spark to form a flame and once the flame
has been ignited it become very hard to put it out.
Just as Alexander L. Lacson shares in a comment "...the answer is in us as a people, that
hope is in us as a people." For if changes are ever to be made, which the people are wanting
to see come about, we need to stop putting all our trust in government and start working
together as people. For, just as one old quote says it well:
"It is not the government that
makes the people but it is the people who makes their government."
So, as you brows through this site, by reading testimonies, encouragements and so forth,
please become a part towards helping to make a difference in the Philippines and hopefully,
or even soon, also to the whole world,
Mr. Lacson makes it easy by giving you "
12 Little Things"
and do not ever think you do
not have time for we all have time to do "the little things" in life.

laws must conform."

Gold hit an 11-week high on Tuesday, bolstered by safe-haven buying on geopolitical tensions as the West edged towards possible military action against Syria, while strong support came from hopes of prolonged US monetary stimulus.
The United States signalled on Monday possible military moves against Syria over a chemical weapons attack in Damascus suburbs for which it said it believed President Bashar al-Assad was responsible.
"Geopolitical tensions in Syria are one of the factors which will be supporting gold prices in coming sessions," Natixis analyst Nic Brown said.
"And you also have the latest data out of the United States over the past couple of sessions that was relatively weak and raised the question mark over the timing of the U.S. Fed tapering," he added.
Spot gold rose to its highest since June 7 at $1,412.30 an ounce earlier and was trading at $1,411.50 by 0950 GMT, up 0.5 percent.
US gold futures for December delivery climbed $18.50 to $1,411.60 an ounce.
The dollar fell against safe-haven currencies but remained broadly steady, while European shares dropped as unease about the threat of a military strike against Syria prompted investors to cash in on recent strong gains.
Gold has gained more than 6 percent this month and almost 19 percent from its year low of $1,180.71 hit in late June.
Recent US data on industrial production, new home sales and durable goods orders has suggested economic growth this quarter will probably not accelerate as much as economists had hoped.
Traders believe the weak data could deter the Federal Reserve from tapering its stimulus as soon as next month. The Fed's $85-billion-a-month bond purchases have helped drive increased liquidity towards gold and other commodities.
An early end to stimulus could hurt gold by drawing investors away from non-interest-bearing assets.
"A lot of people think it is still going to happen in September but if the Fed was going to delay that, then that is clearly supportive for gold prices," Brown said.
Data due later in the day from the United States includes the Case-Shiller house price index, consumer confidence and the Richmond Fed survey.
Dealers said physical demand in Asia remained subdued due to a seasonally weak summer period and the recent jump in prices.
Premiums of Shanghai gold futures to London prices have fallen to about $18 an ounce from last week's levels above $20.
India is considering asking gold traders to provide proof of payment for their jewellery

Indiewire has covered the Toronto Film Festival for nearly two decades, but TIFF 2013 was a first for us: We teamed with Movies on Demand and photographer Daniel Bergeron to create original portraits and video interviews from some of the festival's best actors, filmmakers and other luminaries.
It was the first time, but it definitely won't be the last; this team is planning to do more photos and videos in the months ahead. You'll see the results throughout the upcoming awards season, but for now we wanted to wrap up our TIFF 2013 coverage with a gallery in which directors and actors discuss advice for aspiring filmmakers and actors.
Thanks, TIFF, for another great year. And now, here's Ron Howard, Chris Hemsworth, Dakota Fanning, Amma Asante, Scarlett Johansson and many more.
Denis Villeneuve, Director, "Enemy" and "Prisoners"
"Go home and work. I don't believe in the film festival tour. Myself, I believe that when you go to a film festival it's when you have to show something. I'm a super-bad businessman. My advice is cinema is something you do, it's not something you talk about. I;m a filmmaker. You need to do things. You need to go in your basement, write a screenplay and shoot it. Nowadays, the new generation is so lucky. When I was young, you needed to invest thousands of dollars to buy 16mm film. You ruined yourself before you could shoot a movie. Today you can shoot a movie with $20. It's like, shoot. Don't talk."

Bear conflicts are down by 75 percent this year in the Missoula area, according to Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks.
Bear Management Expert Jamie Jonkel says people have done a better job this year of getting rid of attractants that can bring bears to residential areas. He says the weather and snowpack also play a big role.
"The times that we really see our conflicts go up are in these food failure years," Jonkel says. "And all it takes is a good frost or a real late spring drought. And no matter how clean people are, you'll get bears that are sort of desperate, looking for goodies."
Jonkel says the weather has been good so far, so there is lots of food for bears. But if we don't get more rain, the food sources could dry up and bear conflicts would increase.

The Pacific Islands region has responsibility for 10% of the global ocean surface and hosting the world's largest tuna stocks. Currently, marine protected areas cover just over 2% of the world's oceans, and only about 1% is strongly protected in no-take marine reserves. In this context, small Pacific Island states with massive ocean territory are taking a global leadership position by establishing and effectively managing large scale marine protected areas and others are making similar pledges. …

French director Andre Techine said his new drama which debuted at the Berlin International Film Festival looks at the start of the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s because it deeply marked his personal life. "I lived through this period. And I have the feeling to have been spared a fate which many of my friends were not," he said after a press screening of "Les Temoins" (The Witnesses). "I wanted to talk about it because it changed my life, the way I live my relationships. I realised I was mortal." Emsie Ferreira reports.

text: Converted a Motobecane Grand Record but the chainline is way off, no matter which side of the spider I put the chainring on. There's no room on the hub to put spacers on to move the cog outward, so I figured I'd just go buy a shorter BB spindle to pull the chainring closer. My question is, how can I figure out what length to get? Is there a generally standard size that will fit? Or is there a way I can actually calculate it?

Everything that the seaside, the historical centre, the Castle Hill, the harbour, the main street and down-town have to offer is at your door! Whether you are looking for beach, walks along the seaside, cultural tourism, typical or modern restaurants, shopping or night-life, everything is at few minutes walking distance! (see pictures)
The flat has been renovated in January 2012 with quality materials and furniture. It is very fitted (see list), bright, elegant, clean, have very high ceilings and can receive up to three persons.
We rent several flats in Nice and are very reactive to your requests. We also offer special rates for medium and long-term stay. Feel free to contact us.
With the hope that our apartment will allow you to make the best of our beautiful city of Nice, we are looking forward to seeing you!
Our apartment is located above the restaurant "Café de Turin" at the 2° floor with lift.
Our apartment is easily accessible by most means of transport.
- By car, take the exit 'Port' of the tunnel of the Paillon.
- By train, take the tram that stops in front of the building at the stop "Place Garibaldi".
- By plane, take bus 98 also stops in front of the building at the stop "Place Garibaldi".
Then, whether it is by car, tram, bus or on foot, since Garibaldi Square is extremely well served, going around in Nice is not complicate at all. Visiting all Nice and its amazing surroundings (Monaco, Cannes, Antibes, Italy etc. ..) is therefore nice and easy!
Last but not least, various parking facilities are close by (http://www.nice.fr/Transport/Parking-auto#plan2).
We will meet you directly at the apartment. The arrival times and departure must be agreed in advance. Arrivals are preferably after 5 pm and departures before 10 am. When possible, you will be able to leave your luggage.

The room is ok, clean and tidy, but very simple. The apartment is situated nicely, close to the beach and a couple of shops, and in 20 mins of walking along the sea side you are in the city center.
Unfortunately we had a problem with the shower drain being blocked, which was not fixed during the two days we stayed there.
The apartment complex can be a bit noisy at times, with the only window going to the inner courtyard.
Overall the location made up for the apartment's shortcomings!
Mooi en schoon appartement, maar wel erg klein. De derde slaapplek is eigenlijk niet te gebruiken want dan is de weg naar de douche/ wc geblokkeerd. Leuk dat het midden in Nice ligt aan een zeer gezellig plein. Wel hierdoor veel geluid 's nachts. Vriendelijke gastheer.
The studio that we rented in Nice was fully as expected - clean, located very central. All in all it was a great stay
Salvatore's place is such a space-efficient, clean space in Nice - only a 5 minute walk from the main train station, and about 20 minutes walk to the parts of Nice you want to see (Old Town, Parc du Chateau, the beaches, the markets, etc). Salvatore and his assistant were very accommodating and open to any questions we had. Check-in and check-out were super easy and super smooth. Next time I'm in Nice, I'll surely be staying here! Thanks, Salvatore
A really nice appartment - very spaceous, modern and clean with a well equipped kitchen, and very nice bathrooms. The location is convenient for both restaurants and shopping. Loved the fact, that we had free WIFI. The only minus were some traffic noise, when the windows were open. We enjoyed our stay and would love to stay there again. Thanks to Salvatore, who was really helpful.
Appartement certes refait à neuf mais sans doute rapidement : porte battante de la salle de bains qui ne tient pas, portant de serviettes idem. Un fauteuil usager qui tient grâce à des vis qui tombent régulièrement. Pas assez d'ustensiles (casseroles, etc..) pour cuisiner. Pas de lampe de chevet dans le coin couchage et enfin des blattes !
Par ailleurs, la personne avec laquelle, j'avais un contact avant mon arrivée, ne m'a pas prévenue qu'elle enverrait un cousin pour me transmettre les clés.
Enfin, une odeur particulièrement écoeurante dans l'ascenseur et lorsque l'on se trouve sur le balcon.
Nous étions chez Salvatore en mai dernier; le studio était petit et propre . Il a fallu déboursé 20 euros pour obtenir la literie et les serviettes.....pas très pratique. Il faut également amener son sèche-cheveux. Le studio est très près de la promenade des anglais.
Very nice apartment and flexible host! Thank you!
Studio is small, but clean and a good value for money for one - two person. Beach is 5 min away and a velo station just downstairs. Thera are many food stores around and one is just in front of the house. What is really missing is an air-conditioner-;)
It was a pleasure to stay in this appartment in Nice. It is really in the centre of Nice. Salvatore ist very friendly. The arrival and check in was very easy and well organised. The appartment was very clean. Thank you Salvatore. For the next stay in Nice I would like to book your appartment again.

My little one and I were browsing the DVD section when she shoved a Pilates Bee Twist DVD. 0 1
I read about this site in RealSimple magazine a few months ago, and I went to check it out yesterday. 0 1
I keep seeing posts on this site about girls wanting to diet to lose significant amounts of weight... I think the mentality here has to change. 0 1
Saw this really simple tests for getting a sense of how healthy & fit you feel. 1 1
I was looking at the latest blogs and read one where a girl wanted to crash diet to lose weight fast... I think most of us have been there, done that, and I can definitely say that crash dieting is incredibly, depressingly, counterproductive. 0 1
Weight loss success stories always inspire me... real people, who lose weight the real way... I found this blog link that I thought ya'll might be interested in: http://weight-loss-story.blogspot.com/ It has collections of stories with photos... truly inspirational. 0 1
So in the fitsugar section, there was a Get Motivated post asking for your fitness goals... and these are my current ones: 1) Run for 1 hr. 0 1
So I've decided to really try to lose weight (and more importantly get fitter, healthier, and look better). 0 1
Okay, so if you read my profile, you'll see I lost thirty pounds over the summer... well, someone asked how I did it, so I'm posting this in case you too are interested: Here's how I did it: For three months, I took kickboxing classes two days a week, did a cardio class with weight training in the class for two days a week, and then two other days I would jog or do the elliptical, both for at least a half hour (I built up my endurace/time/speed, etc.). 0 1
Any one else caught themselves scheduling their elliptical time to match tv programs? 0 1
Just thought I'd share a fit tip that gets my butt in gear when I really don't want to. 0 1
When I started going to the gym, I would do, 20 minutes cross trainer (manual, level 2) 5 minutes stepper (like a mini escalator) (level 8) 25 minutes treadmill (manual, run for 4 minutes in the middle @ level 4.5, inclined 1.5 walking @ level 3.5) 10 minutes on the upright bike (manual, level 3) Since I saw the trainer, I have started this program, Start with upright bike - 10 minutes warm up Dumbell fly - use ball as bench - 15 reps with 2 5lb. 0 1
Let's face it, at some point your mother gave you health advice. 0 1

We have a NEWS PAGE - Try it sometime!
Does Hirez even care about this game anymore ( zero updates)? Why should the players then?
Come out tonight and ask them.
The forum has lots of suggestions how to improve pvp. The problem is Hirez never responded. Simple bugs took ages to fix and in the end they didnt care (EU players got stucked on NA servers frequently). All we got was a GM who forwarded it and thats it. Well heres a simple question: "Will we get new pvp maps"?
Well I hope you two get a chance to stop by the stream and hear what the Hi-Rez team has to say.
I played it a little bit, wasn't a bad game by any means just didn't get into it. Havin a ton of fun with tribes ascend and smite though!
i gave up on hirez when they threatened to ban me because i reported a aimbotter to many times.
and the best part is the guy i was reporting was a friend of mine who i know for a fact was aim botting, going 100 kills a round. he told me to report him and see if hirez even gives a crap about cheaters. and their response was to ban me for reporting lol.
my friends acount was never banned he aim botted for about 4 months strait, even in AVA.
all the BS hirez talked about being able to detect cheaters was total garbage and i will never trust them again.
I CBT'd this game, I miss my buddies from HiRez. I remember the Tenacious Gamers coming in and regulating on that game lol
There are times when one must ask themselves is it my passion that truly frightens you? Or your own?
So are we going to get a transcript of the interview or anything?

It is the old training of hitting a swinging heavy bag. Let your heavy bag swing. Try hitting it in various stages of movement. As it moves towards you and loses it momentum your power is increased, until it totally loses momentum and your effort to return it increase its swing and motion.
Aikido does a lot of this same increase in multiplying your strength and the opponents motion.
The other application is the falling log.
Stand a six foot tall piece of wood on end, a four by four should be about right ... be sure to sand off the sharp corners. Now, practice some of the movements of your Aikido class with the log and see what is effective, what is easier to move, and what movements of your body work best?
Two simple tools, and two simple methods of practice in learning to effectively use your body motion, weight, strength to move objects with dissappation of energy.
Hey, Chad, are you going to Morristown for the upcoming seminar?

The winners are shaping up at the Health and Wellness Coalition's "micro clinics," according to organizers. Everybody who learned more healthy habits and can stick to them will earn a prize of better health.
When the Henry County Diabetes Coalition transformed itself into the health and wellness coalition to address more chronic diseases, it set up micro clinics to further support participants in programs like the Biggest Loser.
Selling a bumper crop of tomatoes, peppers and flowers would help the Henry County High School agriculture class grow its greenhouse program, teacher Lindsey Davie said.
The annual spring plant sale, which begins on April 26 this year, typically brings in a lot of green to provide financial support to agricultural classes, she said. At the end of this season, the proceeds could help raise a whole new year-round, hydroponic greenhouse.
In a rather unusual move, defense attorney Alan Zaring has asked the Henry County Circuit Court to order the victim in an alleged rape to be evaluated by a medical expert to see if she is fit to testify in her own case and on her own behalf.
Curtis Sanford was charged with burglary, second degree and attempted rape, first degree after allegedly breaking into a New Castle woman's home and attacking her in an attempt to rape her in September of 2014, according to the arrest report by the Henry County Sheriff's Office.
The fact that New Castle has preserved much of its downtown commercial buildings qualifies it for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places, according to a nomination submitted by the Kentucky Heritage Council to the federal government.
Community members and city leaders have long maintained the well-preserved commercial district that grew up around the courthouse, which gives New Castle a unique identity. The community can capitalize on this rare, virtually-intact 19th century commercial district and use it to help guide the city's future, they believe.
The Legal Aid Network of Kentucky, which includes the state's four legal aid programs, announces the launch of Volunteer Lawyers for Veterans, a program that encourages Kentucky lawyers to volunteer their time and skill to help our state's low-income veterans resolve civil legal problems in the areas of consumer law, family law, government benefits and housing, according to a news release.
From May 6 to 15, three Kentucky women will be traveling on horseback and carriage from Sadieville to Perryville, passing through seven counties on the trip, including Pleasureville in Henry County May 8 to May 10, according to a news release.
It is part of a Cross Kentucky Ride that they began in 2014.
Edith Conyers will be driving her caravan pulled by two Haflinger ponies, Ginny Grulke will be riding her Morgan horse, and Anne Husted will be the crew, moving an RV from point to point for overnight stays.
A Carrollton company has applied for a package alcohol license to expand to the Pendleton area at the request of some Henry County customers, according to Hemal Kumar Soni, a partner in the venture.
"We have three liquor stores in Carrollton," he said. "We have a lot of customers come from Henry County to Carrollton, and they always ask if we want to come to Henry County and open up a store."
With the new wet status approved by voters in December, that opportunity has come.
On April 5, many firefighters from six departments responded to 390 Bart Smith Road, after a report of a house fire near the Henry-Oldham county line at approximately 2 p.m. Volunteers from Lake Jericho, Campbellsburg, New Castle, Eminence, Ballardsville and personnel from La Grange, plus Henry County EMS, spent hours working to extinguish the flames that engulfed the wood structure. Family members on social media said the home belonged to Arvil and Geneva Duncan. The home was a total loss. The cause of the fire is not known.
UPDATE: Kentucky State Police have confirmed that Jordan Mefford, the driver of the passenger vehicle struck by the tractor-trailer in Tuesday's accident, died overnight while receiving treatment, according to Trooper Josh Lawson.
An Eminence man and Henry County Republican Party leader will attend the Republican National Convention this July and help choose a platform and presidential candidate.
Jon Park will serve as one of 46 delegates representing Kentucky in nominating the Republican candidate who will appear on the presidential ballot in November.

>> Russ Meyer's "Sex-Crazed Cinema" Retrospective in LA
"Watching the films of Russ Meyer," begins an American Cinematheque
announcement, "brings to mind what might have happened if the likes of Sam
Fuller, Frank Tashlin, Erskine Caldwell, R. Crumb and Henry Miller had put
their libidos (and brains) together to create a Parallel Universe inhabited
by luscious, loving angels and cat-scratching vixens, bitter old drunks and
borderline psychotics." The press release crossed our desktops late last
week as the Cinematheque unveiled the line-up for a ten-day retrospective
screening the "sex-crazed cinema" of filmmaker Russ Meyer.
Meyer, along with stars Edy Williams, Cynthia Myers, Tura Santana and
Kitten Natividad will participate in discussions following select film
