With just a few days left until the biggest shopping day of the year, Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales and deals are at an all time high. If you're like most of us, wrapping your head around where to go for the best deals can be quite overwhelming.
Fashion Hippo compiled an insider's guide to the finding best deals, steals and prices online. From electronics to footwear and everything in between, here are your top tips to a satisfying online shopping experience.
1. Get the best online deals BEFORE Thanksgiving: This year many top retailers are starting sales either the Day (or should we say early morning) of the day of Thanksgiving, Nov. 25th to entice customers to stock up on products before the big crowd runs an interference.
Banana Republic, Macy's, Old Navy, 6pm.com, and Kohl's are giving us great excuses to get an early start on your holiday shopping.
2. Opt for a one-stop-shop: Amazon and Overstock are great places to finding everything you need for the gift giving season. If you've got your mind set on a flat screen for your hubby or have been eyeing those gorgeous Frye Boots (who isn't?), start the day off right by hitting up one of these all-inclusive sites.
These sites have the lowest discounts due to their monstrous buying power and you'll save time during check out, since you will only be checking out once instead of navigating a myriad of checkouts on multiple sites.
3. Shop before you shop: Make a list of what you need to buy and knowing which online stores you are going to buy it at. Then make your shopping extravaganza easier on your fingertips by looking for the best coupons and deals beforehand.
Websites like bradsdeals.com, couponmom.com and blackfriday2010.com provide customers with a long list of coupons and deals.
For fabulous deal alerts in fashion and chic technology devices, subscribe to a free Fashion Hippo newsletter: get updates about the sales that are buzzing on Thanksgiving Day, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday. Your wallet will thank you.
4. Know where the tech savvy go: BecauseiPods, iTouchs and iPads are such a commodity this season, Apple will more than likely not offer any discounts for these items in their stores. With that in mind, check out Amazon or Buy.com for best prices on these items.
Alternatively, consider checking retailers who are running promotions on similar, trendy tech-y options at discounted rates, such as the Literati E-Reader at Macy's or the Flip camera at Amazon, both of which will be discounted starting Friday.
5. Don't shy away from the big contenders: The usual suspects on Black Friday, such as Walmart, Kohl's and Target, typically have the largest crowds for a reason – they offer some of the best deals.
And when you've got Apt. 9 cashmere sweaters on sale for 34.99 what's not to love? Hit up the online store on the day of Thanksgiving or the day after on Black Friday, so you can be fabulously chic without the mass chaos.
6. Know where to get the freebies: With all the money you'll be spending this holiday season, a few freebies can go a long way.
Places like Best Buy and Walmart are offering free shipping with no minimum purchase, while drugstores like Walgreens, CVS and RiteAid are offering users on CouponMom a comprehensive list of freebies in their stores including beauty and personal products. Great little gifts that are perfect stocking stuffers.
One final fashionista tip…..If you still feel the urge to brave the crowds and hit up your favorite outlets, then be a savvy shopper and head to

New York Knicks Rumors: Mike Woodson To Be Fired Soon?
The New York Knicks, led by head coach Mike Woodson, have been struggling mightily thus far during the first part of the 2013-14 NBA season. To put things into perspective, the Knicks have dropped 11 of their last 13 basketball games.
The only thing keeping the rumors of Woodson being fired from coming true is the fact that the New York Knicks' players seemingly love Woodson. That is certainly the case when it comes to star player Carmelo Anthony.
"When we win, the heat is off. When we lose, the heat is on. That's just our business, that's our society, that's New York," Anthony said after scoring 30 points in an 83-78 win over the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night. "It happens. He can't worry about that. We can't worry about that."
Anthony is the leader of the Knicks and usually speaks out for the locker room. The team claims to be affected negatively by the rumors of their coach being fired, but they do realize that the NBA is a business and the only thing they can do to help Woodson keep his job is to start winning some basketball games.
"Yeah, we're worried about that. But then again, we've got to worry about playing basketball, man," Anthony said.
As for Woodson, he has been a coach for a very long time and he knows nothing is written in stone. Throughout the years he has learned not to worry about his job security and just be the best NBA coach he can possibly be day in and day out.
"I have been at this thing 30 years," Woodson said in an interview on ESPN New York 98.7 radio last month. "And the one thing I never and will never do is look over my shoulder. I won't do that. I got too much pride for that."
If we owned the New York Knicks we would not fire Mike Woodson, at least not yet. He has proven in the past that he knows how to lead a team to the NBA playoffs. What's happening this season with the Knicks is very unfortunate, but it is not fair to put the blame on Woodson's shoulders.
The Knicks have been hampered by injuries and Carmelo Anthony has not been playing like the elite player he is supposed to be. It is quite possible that Anthony is looking forward to becoming a free agent in the summer just a little bit more than he cared about leading the Knicks to the playoffs in 2014

Kaspersky breach exposes sensitive database, hacker claims
A security lapse at Kaspersky has exposed a wealth of proprietary information about the anti-virus provider's products and customers, according to a blogger, who posted screen shots and other details that appeared to substantiate the claims.
In a posting made Saturday, the hacker claimed a simple SQL injection gave access to a database containing "users, activation codes, lists of bugs, admins, shop, etc." Kaspersky has declined to comment, but two security experts who reviewed the evidence said the claims appeared convincing.

That'll be egg on the big K's face, then.
Hard to believe a company specialising in security isn't looking after its own (and its customers).
But...the free trial for W7 is working great (I think) so I'll be sticking with it (I guess their own servers aren't running it )

Vista Ult 64bit - Windows 7 Ult 7264 64bit
This just adds to a long list of issues with Kaspersky in the last 2 years. They had 2 critical program updates last year that virtually made the users AV security useless, and then issues with other updates. There is also rumors that they found malware moles in their program engineering department (not uncommon these days).
All of this has lowered Kaspersky's trustworthiness in many experts eyes and I will no longer recommend it because of all their issues lately. This only adds to that view.

Map of all the Banksy locations in his residency "Better Out Than In"
We followed Banksy every day of his residency "Better Out Than In" in NYC, so we figured we would put together all of his pieces into one article, along with a map of locations. Without further ado, all 31 days for you to take in, marvel, judge, and do with what you will.

The first of Banksy's month-long show, "The Street is in Play" is located on Allen Street, between Hester and Canal, featuring his signature stencil style and the sign "Graffiti is a crime."

The Dixie Ticklers
This six piece ensemble has put today's date on early jazz, placing it alongside groove-based shuffles and fresh modern treatments whilst constantly staying true to the polyphonic approach that shaped the music of the initial pioneers such as Louis Armstrong, King Oliver and Jelly Roll Morton.
The band manages to bring in a deep scholarly understanding of New Orleans and Dixieland jazz without letting it undermine their enthusiasm for performing, and they manage to bring a contemporary London edge to the music while being true to its origins.

Former INS chief says reviving immigration reform difficult
Published 6:00 pm, Wednesday, February 20, 2008
Associated Press Writer
Reviving talks about reforming immigration law will prove difficult even after a new president and members of Congress take office, the former head of immigration services said Thursday.
Doris Meissner, the Immigration and Naturalization Service Commissioner under President Clinton, said the next president will want to first tackle issues that have broad support and are likely to glide through Congress.
"And unfortunately, immigration, unless something changes very dramatically … does not qualify as one of those issues," Meissner told an immigration conference held by the National Council of Jewish Women. "It is a polarized issue."
Strong Latino turnout in the upcoming election could grab lawmakers' attention and get immigration reform back on the agenda, said Meissner, now a senior fellow at the Migration Policy Institute, a nonpartisan think tank.
"It is an issue that is basically in the throes of the extremes and the extreme voices in both parties," she said.
Immigration reform is key to strengthening the nation's economy, Meissner said.
For example, she said, technology and engineering keep the U.S. competitive, but about half the students pursuing careers in those fields are foreign-born. And nearly a dozen of the fastest-growing occupations don't require a high school diploma and attract few American-born workers, she added.
"It is not possible for people to come here legally if they want … to work and if there is a job here for them, particularly if it is in the low skilled sector," Meissner said.

Biffy Clyro are a strange bunch really, their first record was one that spilt opinion, you either got into it after hearing the first chord to the first song or you just didn't get them. This trend continued up until their fourth album which saw the band take a different turn and a mass of new fans flocked along, Biffy Clyro seem to have taken note and carried it through to their fifth studio album 'Only Revolutions'.
'Bubbles' is the fifth single to come from their latest album which shows the faith that the band and the label have in the albums more radio friendly material. It does seem like a breath of fresh air has hit Biffy and everything seems to be falling into place. Simon Neil has hit the vocals like a hammer has hit the nail on the head. At times his Scottish accent comes through and compliment the spiraling guitar riffs, perhaps not as rocky as past tunes but the perfect parting shot to 'Only Revolutions'.

As a writer, I use Scrivener to create my documents—even my blog posts. As an editor, my primary tool is MS Word and Track Changes. While I've never asked other editors what they use, I'd venture they use track changes, too.
That makes it critical for writers to understand what track changes are and how to use them.
So today, I'm offering a video from Lynda.com as a quick tutorial.

NYX Black Label Lipstick Indigo: Swatches & Review
Hi All,
I bought this along with the NYX Black Label Lipstick in Volcano. This is hands down one of the best lipstick ranges NYX has come out with..The formula is amazing and a total winner.
Product Description:-
A creamy, dreamy lipstick with a velvety smooth finish and hyper-glamorous shades for every look and every inclination. NYX's Black Label Lipstick has rich emollient properties that ensures the color glides on and hydrates your pout at the same time. From Extreme Red to Earthy to Frosted Pink, Black Label Lipstick is available in 96 lipsmacking hues.
- Price:6$
- Ingredients: Bees Wax, Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax, Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax Ceresin, Polyethylene, Octyldodeanol, Pentaerythrityl Tetraisostearate, Bis-Digylceryl Polyacyladipade-2, Diisostearyl Malate, B.H.A, Fragrance. MAY CONTAIN: Mica (CI 77019), Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxide Red (CI 77491), Iron Oxide Yellow (CI 77499), D&C Red No.6 (CI 15850), Iron Oxide Black (CI 77499), Carmine (CI 75470), FD&C Blue No.1 Al Lake (CI 42090), FD&C Yellow No.5 Al Lake (CI 19140), or D&C Red No.7 CA Lake (CI 15850).
About NYX Black Label Lipstick in Indigo:
Packaging: This range of lipsticks come in the usual rectangular tubes with a twist. The packaging on these lipsticks is much sleeker and attractive than the others. The lid is a silver metallic grey with the design emblazoned on it along with the ingredients. The top of the lid houses the lipstick name and code. On the bottom, is a transparent cube which shows you the shade you are picking which is a huge plus point if one hoards lipsticks.
- Color: This shade is sheer raspberry with coral-gold undertones. It's this coral undertone that gives it a mild shimmery look, but rest assured, this doesn't have any shimmer in reality.
- Coverage & Pigmentation:Initially when I swatched this, I thought it would be sheer..But Then I realised its the coral gold undertone which gives it a sheer appearance but in reality its quite pigmented. The lipstick gives medium to full coverage and can be built up as well.
- Texture: The lipstick is very silky and creamy. The coral-gold shade gives it a shiny, glossy look whithout being OTT. This lipstick doesn't settle into my lip lines at all and looks very fresh.
- Staying Power: This stays for about 3 – 4hrs on my lips (without hogging) and then fades while leaving a nice tint of pink behind.
What I like about NYX Black Label Lipstick in Indigo:
- Attractive packaging
- No strong fragrance to irritate the nose
- The inclusion of coral just brightens up the lips.
- Doesn't dry out my lips.
- Perfect shade for all occasions. I wear to work sometimes too
- Will suit both warm and cool skin tones.
- The satin finish is a huge plus point.
- Very affordable
- Easily available online.
- 96 shades to choose from….that ain't a joke!
- Doesn't melt like the Round lipsticks
What I don't like about NYX Black Label Lipstick in Indigo:
- Absolutely nothing! I luv this lippy totally!
- Pigmentation: 4/5
- Packaging: 5/5
- Staying Power: 4/5
- Availability: 4/5
- Price vs. Value: 4.5/5

From what I've read, most golf analysts think the Open at Oakmont was a fair test. I agree, but only because everyone played the same course under the same conditions.

Are Private Clubs The Next Dinosaurs?
More golf courses are built every year, but the number of golfers stays the same.

|Index to Entry Control
|MODEL 1838 - PC Programmable Access Controller by DOORKING�
1838 Access Controller is ideal for small businesses, office buildings,
industrial sites or in any application that requires access control and reporting
capabilities. The easy to use Remote Account Manager programming software, card reader
interface and expandability options make this unit an ideal choice for those applications
with a large number of system users and entry locations. Up to 16 card readers can be
interfaced with the 1838 to provide access control. Additionally, our elevator control
module restricts which floors a system user has access to making it an ideal system for
high rise buildings. For additional security, the 1838 allows you to monitor activity AS
IT HAPPENS on your computer display (requires RS-232 connection), and with our anti-pass
back memory upgrade, you can enable a TRUE anti-pass back system in one of three different
configurations; passive, active and trap. This flexible system allows you to control
access by means of encoded cards, 5-digit PIN's (Personal Identification Number), wireless
RF control, or with most 26-bit wiegand devices. When hooked up to computer with telephone line, maximum distance between
controller and door access device is 500' (range can be extended to 1000' when using extra
tracking board unit mounted between 1838 and keypad/card reader - call for details and
prices). When hard wired to computer, maximum distance between controller and door access
device is 25'. Call Hoover Fence Co. with questions concerning your application for
more information.
*The 500MB Memory Chip is the most popular chip for this controller. Larger
chips are available if needed. Inquire while ordering to assure the 500MB chip will work
for your system.
Also... a keypad, card reader, or some type of entry device must accompany the 1838 to make a functional unit. Card readers and keypads must be a Wiegand output device. Our recommended entry devices and accessories are available below.

So, Obamacare has passed, been legally upheld by the Supreme Court and appears to have met its enrollment goals. So how far have we really come? Not that far. Let's look at the statements and actions of some of those who actually run a portion of the system:
We need look no farther than The New York Times, May 26, 2014 for two separate indicators:
First, in an article titled "Hospitals Look to Health Law, Cutting Charity", the author describes how some large hospital systems are reducing the level of charity care they provide, encouraging patients to sign up for Obamacare instead. Or perhaps Medicaid. Or if the patient doesn't qualify for coverage, bill them directly. One big shell game, as long as the hospital doesn't have to eat the costs. (The author didn't say all of this- the author just stated the facts behind the cost shifting).
Then, in the editorial section, same date, we see responses to an earlier article that blamed the pay of insurance executives for the high costs of care, and attempted to shift the spotlight away from physicians. It was the responses (letters to the editor) that interested me.
No less than three physicians wanted us to know it wasn't the doctor's fault. Not to be outdone, a hospital association executive pointed out that it wasn't the hospital's fault. Finally a nurse wrote in saying guess what? If we only paid them more… (actually I do think nurses are the "good guys").
So it's one big shell game, and it's not the doctors, hospitals or nurses at fault.
Here's the news, all of you experts- we know it's one big shell game. Just make the shell (costs) smaller! So the part that falls on us is tolerable.
With all of your expertise and training, you must be able to conceive of a solution to the problems of the health system that is more sophisticated than simple cost shifting! Two children can do that ("make him pay…no, no, make him pay!).
So now that Obamacare has passed, been upheld and met the enrollment goals, do we all now get to sit back?
No. It's time to focus on costs. Aggressively. Now.

What should we make of the news that embryonic stem cell therapy may have helped improve vision in two patients?
Click here for WashPost coverage and here for NY Times coverage.
First, it's not at all clear that the embryonic stem cells were related to the vision improvements.
The WashPost reports:
The researchers initially weren't sure whether her improvement was attributable to the operation or a placebo effect. They couldn't see clear evidence of new cells in their examination, and she said vision in both eyes was better. Further testing, however, has convinced the team that Freeman's sight is better.
Sight may have improved, but it was not attributed to the embryonic stem cell therapy.
The NYTimes reported:
Thomas A. Reh, a professor at the University of Washington who works on retinal regeneration but was not involved in the study, said the results looked encouraging, though the patients needed to be followed for a longer time.
"It definitely looks like the cells are at least sticking around and not causing any trouble," he said.
In that excerpt, the therapy isn't hurting, but there's no claim that it's helping either.
Keep in mind that news comes from Robert Lanza of Advanced Cell Technology.
We covered a Lanza shenanigan previously in "It Might Not Have Been a Clone" — and as it turned out, it wasn't.
The NYTimes reports,
Still, it is hard to judge much from only two patients, especially when there was no control group.
Indeed, Dr. Schwartz said that the improvement in vision of one of the women might be a placebo effect.
Advanced Cell Technology, which paid for the study, has been criticized in the past for overstating results, in part because it has been desperate to raise money to stay in business.
The company's stock rose 3.4 cents, or 23 percent, to 18 cents on Monday.
Dr. Schwartz conceded that it was "extremely unusual" for researchers to publish a study after treating only two patients out of a planned 24.
So in addition to the morality of embryonic stem cell research, we have our doubts as to merits of these claimed results.

you could always phone the wedding coordinators and ask about the availability, that's what I did because I really wanted to book and couldn't wait a couple days for them to get back to me. They may only work Monday - Friday though so you'd have to call right away.

It's a Remington 700 Stainless Special 5-R Milspec Barrel (24 inch). As pictured it weighs 12 lbs.
The scope I wanted (Millett 4-16×50 Tactical) is backordered, so I got a Mueller 4-16×50 so I could go ahead and start breaking it in and experimenting with loads.

The Pregnancy Rubber Band Trick
I usually get excited about something related to office supplies everyday but this trick has probably made me the happiest of all. I had to run across my apt to show my husband I was so excited. I'm about 23 weeks pregnant and none of my pants fit! I tried to buy pants a little bigger to last longer during pregnancy and they just fall off of me. So I'm at the weird stage. Maternity clothes are huge and my normal clothes just don't fit. With the rubber band trick you can still wear your old pants! You loop the rubber band around your button, pull it through the hole and then loop it around your button again. For those who like belly shirts and tight tops, this won't work. You have to wear your baggier, longer tops with this trick.
Here are some longer tops (actually they are really short dresses) that are dressy enough for most offices –
(1) MiH Pie Crust Collar Cotton Tunic ; (2) ASOS T-Shirt Dress with Zip Back ;
(3) Whistles Corinna Shift Dress ; (4) TWO-TONE DRESS (5) RIB KNIT DRESS ; (6) DRESS WITH ELASTICATED WAIST

According to trueEX, Markitserv, an over-the-counter post-trade platform, recently terminated their long-running trading relationship due to trueEX's unwillingness to allow Markit to manage its post-trade processes.
The decision means that Markiserv is no longer able to accept 'drop copy'-only messages from trueEX. The legal complaint was filed in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York on 8 May. It seeks an injunction delaying the termination of their agreement.
It has been alleged that Markitserv's decision to cut ties with trueEX comes in response to trueEX's launch of its own post-trade service provider truePTS in December 2015, which is eating into Markitserv's market share.
In a statement on the decision to file the legal action, trueEX co-founder and CEO, Sunil Hirani, said: "What I have surmised from my conversations with Markit, is they would like us to interact with them in a manner that most closely resembles the way voice broker IDB firms interact with them for voice trades—meaning the transaction would be executed on trueEX (FIX or UI) and then Markit exclusively would perform the matching, clearing and SDR messaging lifecycle events."
"This change requires trueEX to insert Markit in the middle of all of our activities in order to process, clear and report transactions, thereby creating additional workflow steps, potentially slower response times, additional software and connectivity changes and higher costs."
Hirani encouraged mutual clients of the two platforms to lend their voices to trueEX's calls for the trading relationship to be reinstated.
IHS Markit has yet to respond to a request for comment.

This isn't the usual T4T post, for a couple of reasons.
First, instead of giving advice in my usual presumptuous fashion, I'm asking for it. I'm radically redesigning my workflow and need a few intrepid readers to share some successful or dramatic examples of how they're using the cloud. Second, I'm "selling out" by aligning myself with a commercial promotion — cell phone geeks take note. I'll get to the details in a few paragraphs, but first, an explanation . . .
Just as it's often said that true writing is rewriting, I believe that true thinking is rethinking — the ability to step back from deeply entrenched assumptions, opinions and perspectives, and actively look for further alternatives. As a mental exercise, I often find it useful to periodically reexamine the assumptions I take for granted and invert them to see what happens.
A recent starting point for that self-examination was 10 Technologies I Resist. I went down the list and see if there were a few of those technologies I could test drive to broaden or reverse my perspective. There more more that a few that I found worth experimenting with: virtual outsourcing, IM, online finance trackers, mobile email and Office 2.0. That last one is the kickoff point of this post. For the next 30 days I'm going to migrate all of my information into the cloud, and chronicle the progress of the project is a series of posts called "Cloud Studies."
In switching from full self-employment to office work, I've had to distribute my personal and professional work across several platforms: a home desktop, a work desktop, a laptop, a netbook and a cell phone. Trying to reconcile my data by copying locally-stored files, or sharing them by email, was getting ridiculously convoluted. So my goal is to design a virtual architecture that integrates my data in the absolute minimum number of buckets.
I recently, painfully migrated from the Palm OS Treo/Palm Desktop combo — that's been the bedrock of my GTD system since I first implemented it — to the Windows Mobile equivalent: a Treo Pro and Microsoft Outlook. My goal is to sync my phone and various Outlook desktop/OWA clients over the air with a hosted Exchange account, then gradually layer on additional services: Skydrive for mass storage, Live Mesh for file synchronization, Mindjet Connect for mind maps, and possibly My Phone for PIM data. If none of this sounds less convoluted that my previous scheme, I have a pretty good idea that once the infrastructure is set up, my workflow will be dramatically streamlined — essentially accessing one "computer" from any device.
This Is Where You Come In
Here's what I want. I want you or anyone to post in the comments or email me the coolest cloud-based work setup they use on a daily basis, with a least one example of how it allowed you to do something you couldn't do previously. "Coolest" here can mean a few things:
- The most efficient: e.g. how you run your life through a personal wiki or WebDAV
- The most dramatic: how you use Backpack and Twitter to dispatch work to a team virtual assistants in St. Croix (real-world examples please, not creative writing)
- The most elegant: how you eliminated your additional computers and run them as virtual images on Amazon EC2 from your netbook
- The most democratic: how you've replaced all of the files and applications on your hard drive with free and open source web apps
You have 48 hours from "now," 12:00 a.m. Thursday, April 16, 2009, until midnight Saturday, April 18.
What's In It for You
As you've no doubt gathered from the post title, the winner scores a brand new Pantech Matrix Pro. The Matrix is a dual-slider Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard (non-touchscreen) smartphone in the form factor of a feature phone. In simpler terms, it's a phone that slides up vertically for a numeric keypad, and horizontally for a QWERTY keypad. I'll be posting a review of the phone shortly, but the bottom line is that I would probably make it my default phone if I hadn't just renewed my Sprint contract (long story). Included with the phone is a $100 gift card that can be applied to any products and services sold through an AT&T store, online or offline.
If you have everything you need in the mobile space, then don't play to win. Play to share your favorite cloud hacks.

Tord Boontje Charming Pack 1 Gold Butterfly Bird

Tord Boontje Charming Pack 2 Gold Flower Deer
was £29.95
Designed By
Tord Boontje was born in Enschede, Netherlands in 1968. He first studied industrial design at the famous Design Academy of Eindhoven and later got his masters from the Royal College of Art in London. In 1996 he founded Studio Tord Boontje.
Tord Boontje believes in a delicate marriage of design with emotion that is as broadly accessible as it is enticing. He draws from the belief, that "modernism does not mean minimalism, contemporary does not forsake tradition, and technology does not abandon people and senses" His designs often temper edges with softness, borrow inspiration from nature and employ a decor of forms and layers to engage and entice an observer's imagination and emotions.
The Icarus lamp shade by Tord Boontje is a light design with a story behind it. Remember the story of Daedalus and Icarus, who made wings of feathers and wax to escape from the evil King Minos of Crete? Things turned out OK for Daedalus, but less so for Icarus who flew too close to the sun, lost his wings and fell to his doom.
One of the favourite lighting designs from Tord Boontje, the stunning Icarus is a tumbling swathe of feathers - light, ethereal and dynamic. Its size and arresting design mean it will be the centerpiece of any interior it's put in: the pieces form simply demands attention. The idea for the Icarus light shade started as an experiment with cutting paper to create a dimensional form for light, discovering a structure with overlapping feather shapes that resembled a swan's wing.

This post will contain some of my updated counts for Gold and the US Dollar.
Please read these posts first so that you will understand the context for these counts:
-- The Gold Blog. Gold/Silver/GSMs (and a little Oil for good measure) - Sep 11, 09-- Thoughts on the US Dollar, Analysis of the USDX Long Term, Follow up on the Gold Blog - Sep 17, 09-- Thoughts on the Dow/Gold Ratio - Oct 19, 09Some commentary before the charts:I believe the Dollar has bottomed for the short term and the US Equity Markets have topped (for the long term). There is still inverse correlation between Dollar/US Equities. And likely this will come with pronouncements of deflation. As long as there has been and continues to be a Federal Reserve no outcome has ever been deflationary nor will deflation be in our future.Deflation is monetary deflation. The rise or fall of the price of asset classes is NOT inflationary or deflationary. Moreover, the falling price of the most visible asset class (US Equities) is NOT evidence of past or future deflation.Even further, because the outcome is and will continue to be inflationary, many will fall under the theory that this will help US Equities to rise in nominal terms. Again, a very incorrect assumption. Inflation will help asset classes with poor fundamentals (US Equities) from falling as far as they otherwise would. But fall they will. Which is a demand issue not a deflation issue.The long term relationship of the US Dollar to US Equities is positive correlation. Here is an excerpt from my massive US Dollar Post (link above): By and large, there is **far more** positive correlation between the Dollar and Equities than there is inverse correlation. They both go up and down together as evidenced in the chart above.However, many others including myself, have observed that the "weak dollar" is currently fueling the the equity rally right now. So why the discrepancy?Because you need to realize that we are still in the aftermath of the Greatest Deleveraging Event in History (2008)!During the meltdown of 2008, everything was sold / redeemed for the relative "safety" (used exceptionally loosely) of Treasuries: shares in hedge funds, commodities, stocks, etc. As such there was a massive dollar repatriation. The dollar didn't gain value because it was strong! It did because it was "in the way" (you have to buy dollars in order to buy treasuries, it is sort of a necessity that way).In the ensuing months we have seen the Fed ream bondholders through ever more massive QE salvos, intentionally destroying the "value" of US Treasury debt and the US Dollar. Since that time, money has been moving back out of Treasuries (putting downward pressure on the dollar) and into more speculative endeavors (the stock market). You can see here that there is not a "if the Dollar goes down then Equities must go up" relationship here. Money was leaving treasuries and equities were oversold so they were bought. That's it. Another force at work is the fact that the weak dollar and the oversold nature of equities a few months ago made stocks attractive to relatively stronger foreign currency holders, who could "get more bang for their Euro" so to speak.You can see that the current inverse relationship between the Dollar and Equities is a product of a very particular setup and is not a given. In fact, the relative valuation of all of these asset classes (Treasuries, Dollar, Foreign Currencies, and US Equities) has shifted a lot the last few months. Anybody expecting this "status-quo" relationship to persist much farther into the future is going to be rudely surprised.So what about the future? Are the deflationists right? Does all the world's money rush back into Treasuries and the US Dollar during the next crisis? Any claim of a "strong dollar" is bunk. The Fed has made it abundantly clear that QE is not going anywhere and they are getting more aggressive with Treasury purchases, not less. Which brings up the next interesting observation. The POMO fund pool is nearly done. The US Equity markets have also topped and are headed down. There has been a lot of talk about not renewing the Quantitative Easing funding (i.e. money printing). So what are we going to get? A gold star to those of you who answered "Deflation Scare".Yep, deflation will again become the hot buzz word. Everybody will see stock prices plunging and politicians (Congress / Treasury / Fed) will look like they are trying to *do something* (... the Treasury and the Fed are in more desperate straits however. They know that the US Government is insolvent and are just keeping the game going since foreign governments are not buying Treasury debt anymore / to a significantly lower degree. The Fed is the only body keeping the long end of the yield curve down). A nice way to guarantee authorization for QE-II (and no, not the ship) is to allow the long end of the yield curve to rise while stock prices fall.However, whether QE gets renewed, or QE-II is passed or QE comes into existence under a different name, the road of debt monetization is firmly paved. And no side streets are being built.So if you are long the US Dollar to play the bounce for a couple of months - good callHowever if you are long the US Dollar because you think it put in a *major* bottom, and that it is fundamentally stronger (relative to other currencies, including and most especially gold) .... good luck with all that.So a valid question is: will another round of Quantitative Easing and associated POMO be enough to start another large rally? I think the answer is no. The last rally occurred because of highly oversold conditions, huge bearish sentiment, money looking for a move out of "safe haven assets" (after the rush into those assets from the Great Deleveraging Event of 2008) and into higher returns. The Fed and Treasury pulled a rabbit out of the hat for equity investors based on a massive liquidity injection during a very particular set of circumstances.There are no more rabbits. Just a lot of empty hats.

Gold Counts and ChartsI am very bullish on gold... no surprise. Both fundamentally and technically.Undoubtedly, there will be some of you who look at my counts and charts and will say that my Fundamental Analysis is biasing my Technical Analysis.You are welcome to that opinion.I think the fundamentals of gold are strong because a) All of the QE and the Fed buying US government debt with money created out of thin air is not only fiscally irresponsible but shows how *our elected and unelected officials will always take the path of expedience to avoid short term pain at the cost of larger long term pain*, b) that financial shenanigans are the norm, financials will always get bailed out, and are the biggest threat to the US economy, which ties into point a, and c) the result of all these bad decisions will be monetary inflation, in a huge way.And I think the technicals of gold most especially reflect the history of monetary inflation and bad / expedient policy decisions for dealing with economic issues.I fully expect the occurrence of bad economic decisions to increase, not decrease, which again is bullish for gold. If you want to put your faith in government economists, politicians and the US Dollar, then please feel free to interpret the charts and long term counts differently.Again, I am going to ask you to read this post first before interpreting my charts below: The Gold Blog. Gold/Silver/GSMs (and a little Oil for good measure)Long Term Correlations US Dollar Counts and ChartsAgain, I am going to ask you to read this post first before interpreting my charts below: Thoughts on the US Dollar, Analysis of the USDX Long Term, Follow up on the Gold Blog
Look Ma! No beany!!
Sorry I couldn't resist. This is the first time in 6 months I closed the day with a rating above 20. I dont expect for it to stick so I'm milking it for all its worth.
In other news, it seems like the inverse dollar/commodity relationship is starting to break a little bit. Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought I saw a couple days last week and this week where the dollar increase but some commodities (gold and oil) also increase a little. Is this relationship starting to decouple?
outoffocus ,
LOL! I hear you, need to grab the small victories :). binve has barely clung to his while cap (actually lost it several times). But binv271828 is still languishing in single digits :( ... :)
Yes indeed. Also if you look at the middle section of charts above labeled Long Term Correlations (charts 10 and 11), you will see where I identify where gold and the Dollar rise together. This happens during the beginning or in the middle of a crisis. And I think that could easily describe the situation now.
What awesome work once again! I think I'm actually learning how to read some of the charts...The fundamental analysis and macroeconomic thoughts are very valuable. I gave you Rec #10
Deflation first, then inflation later. If you want to buy gold, wait until it's cheaper. You probably have point in the long run, but right now the economic fundamentals just don't support inflation in the short term.
Headlines from the current inflation camp:
"Unemployed workers refuse to work unless given higher wages!"
"Stores raising prices to offset lower demand for products!"
If you want to buy gold, wait until it's cheaper.
If you want to buy gold, consider buying it while it is still in the ground. My favourite gold stock is SA.
binve ... you are building the stiff of legend one incredibly thorough blog post at a time! Great work!!
76 remains the key pivot point on the USDX. It would take a drastic, panic-driven equity sell-off in my opinion just to bump the USDX back up to 80, but that's not say it's unlikely. I've been anticipating an equity reversal for months, and making the call too early has not altered my conviction one iota. So I would say to JStegma, if you want to buy stocks, wait until they're cheaper. :)
Today's break back below 76 doesn't bode well for the greenback, and if it doesn't recapture 76 soon we could see an even more ridiculous extension of the equity rally built atop severe dollar devaluation. There are no significant points of support for USDX between 76 and the all-time low around 71.
It is looking more and more likely every day that $1,000 will now hold as a long-term floor beneath the gold price, so all you Fools waiting around for $600 gold to buy in are assured of missing the boat unless you reassess your outlook. There will be a mountain of buying support below $1,050 where India did its buying last month. $1,023 is further support. And $1,000 is very strong as the "3-times and out" point for the entire 18-month correction. If somehow $1,000 is broken, though I now consider that unlikely, $980 will hold.
Prior to the revelation about India's purchase, when gold was backing away from $1,070 on its way into the $1,020s, I offered further support points below $980 that I no longer consider likely enough to be tested to merit their mention. I have some cash on the sidelines at this point (about 10%), and will be dipping back in at each of the levels listed above.
I remain about 80% long precious metals, about 5-10% energy, and the rest cash. My silverminer portfolio is loving life, as I continue to mimic some of my shorter-term trading that I do as a hobby with only about 5% of my real-life portfolio.
The most important thing for gold investors right now is to be sure you're not getting too cute in trying to time near-term channels. The number of potential headlines that propel gold beyond $1,200 in a virtual heartbeat is staggering. Certainly not a time to pile into miners indiscriminately, but nor is it a time to lack substantial exposure. I think we'll see tons of volaility going forward, but perhaps not another large correction until at least $1,250 ... where another re-test of $1,000 becomes technicaly feasible. $100 daily swings in the gold price will eventually become commonplace. We are in for one heck of a ride.
Silver, by the way, is a coiled spring. Recall that when gold hit its 2008 high some $70 below our present price, silver traded above $20 per ounce. Silver will correct out of this altered ratio and surge strongly back to 50:1 for starters, which makes a $25 12-month target for silver extremely conservative given my expectations for gold ($1,650 by early 2011 ... aligned with Jim Sinclair on that one).
These are just my thoughts on the topic, which I thought I would hastily add amid my mad rush to cover earnings and other developments. :)
Fool on!
TMFSinchiruna, Thanks man, I appreciate that !!
I agree, my near term (<6 month) target for the Dollar is 80-82. It is a reaction move to oversold conditions, nothing more. There is nothing fundamentally making it stronger. And in fact all of the recent policy decisions have guaranteed when it starts falling again, it will fall hard.
Moreover, if you look at the last chart (US Dollar Index long term) you see that we are right in the middle of a huge resistance zone.
So the technicals do not support a *major* dollar rally (just a relatively short term correction) and the fundamentals certainly do not.
The most important thing for gold investors right now is to be sure you're not getting too cute in trying to time near-term channels.
Exactly. That is why my first chart is a 20 year Monthly chart. I like showing this one because it removes the noise of the Daily and Weekly charts (since gold is so volatile because of the emotion it stirs up) and shows the *real* technical bullishness of the rally (several intact long term trendlines, RSI clearly channeling with a nice healthy move and no divergences, Upturn on MACD and stochastics, etc.)
Thanks for the comments my man !! Fool on !!..
Of course, gold remains a coiled spring! :)

This may be right after Labor Day, but the economic reports will be flowing heavily this week and peaking with the U.S. Labor Department report on the employment situation on Friday. With the recent volatility and capital outflows we have seen, Friday's unemployment report could truly rock the markets higher or could take back all of the recovery gains.
As of Tuesday, Bloomberg is calling for unemployment to remain static at 7.4%. The nonfarm payrolls are expected to be up by 175,000 and the private sector payrolls are expected to be up by 178,000. Be advised that the higher-end of both ranges is 234,000 on the total payrolls and 230,000 on the private sector payrolls.
We also will get to see a lot of pre-employment report data from other sources ahead of the report. Gallup releases its Jobs Creation Index on Wednesday morning, followed by the Challenger Job Cuts Report and the ADP employment report on Thursday. Also due on Thursday is the report on weekly jobless claims from the Labor Department. The consensus Bloomberg estimates are likely to change marginally but currently are as follows:
- Gallup and ADP (not covered)
- ADP est. 177,000, with range of 150,000 to 225,000
- Weekly jobless claims 330,000, with a range of 325,000 to 335,000
Another jobs report will be out on nonfarm productivity and unit labor costs, but this has no real effect on official labor Department data as this is from the second quarter. That being said, the estimates are 1.8% higher on productivity and 0.7% higher on labor costs.
Markit already signaled that manufacturing jobs trends was the second month of job creation, while the ISM report on manufacturing showed that manufacturing jobs growth was slower. Those were both covering only the manufacturing sector reports.
Also note that the S&P 500 is currently just under 1,650 and the DJIA is right at 14,900 again. The 10-year Treasury yield is 2.87% and the 30-year Treasury yield is right at 3.80%. The low for the DJIA was 14,762.35 last week, versus a high of 15,049.98 at the start of last week.
As a reminder, pending military action in Syria and unrest potentially hang in the balance as well. And remember that estimates may formally or unofficially change going into ADP or other pre-employment reports.

Teams destined to miss the playoffs put on 60 minutes of hockey devoid of defense and chock full of a dominant performance by winger Wayne Simmonds in a 5-3 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday night.
18 shots in the first period for the Flyers proved the insignificant defensive pressure by the Hurricanes. In fact, Jakub Voracek almost scored within the first 10 seconds of the game forcing starter Justin Peters had to make a desperate save to keep the puck from crossing the goal line.
What a difference two days makes.
Alexander Ovechkin scored a hat trick and added an assist while Braden Holtby stopped 21 of 22 shots as the Capitals beat the New Jersey Devils 5-1.
It was less than 48 hours ago that Troy Brouwer swung his stick in disgust after the Caps gave up two goals and in the third period that started with a 2-1 Caps lead.
Brouwer would net the game's final goal off of an Ovechkin helper in the closing minutes of the third period.
The third period that the Caps played today was as good a period as the Capitals could have hoped for: they stayed out of the box (save a delay of game penalty, the 10th delay penalty in 17 games), outshot the...
With a one-year deal worth $7 million, Alex Semin is headed to Raleigh to frustrate the living bejesus out of Carolina Hurricanes fans join Jordan Staal as part of a new-look offense for the Carolina Hurricanes.
It's a good deal for both parties. Semin, by hook (not the two-minute variety, with which Semin is very familiar) or crook gets his money and the team is only on the hook for one year. Not a bad deal for a boom-or-bust guy like Semin, even if he is coming off a bust season.
Now just where does that leave the Capitals?
They're not exactly up a creek with no paddle because it was pretty clear that Semin wanted to leave from season's end...
Naturally gifted, fluid skater, exceptional puck handling, and devastatingly accurate shooting are some of the greatest aspects of top NHL players.
Conversely, lazy, unmotivated, self centered, and poor locker room presence are the worst possible aspects of an NHL player. With a light load of free agent talent, it is no shock that a player who encompasses all of the descriptions above still remains unsigned. Alexander Semin is easily the most intriguing free agent of the entire 2012 free agent class. In 469 regular season games Semin has acquired 408 total points (197 goals and 211 assists). In comparison Zach Parise, now of the Minnesota Wild, has 410 points in 502 reg...
Now that Zach Parise is off the market and planning how to spend the next 13 years in Minnesota (there's a broken mirror joke there somewhere), free agent Alex Semin is probably getting a few more phone calls than he was a week ago.
He's going to be a second prize to a team that was hoping to land Parise. As far as career stats go, he's about as close a second prize as they come and some team is going to end up with a guy who is not that far removed from a 40-goal season.
But they're also going to get a guy less further removed from a 21-goal season with 56 penalty minutes, a four-year low for him.
It's all about ceilings and floors with Sem...
The "Russian Factor" has become a buzzword among main stream media types of late, especially in regards to the nationality of potential lottery draft picks Yakupov and Grigorenko. Further the Don Cherry's of the world will tell you a Canadian or North American player has heart while a Russian or European is enigmatic. Let's take a look at a couple soon to be UFA's and discuss media perception of these players vs. their actual results.
Jason Chimera leads the Washington Capitals with 8 goals. Not Alex Ovechkin, Alex Semin or Nicklas Backstrom, the man who had just 10 goals all of last year does.
With his overtime winner over the Winnipeg Jets tonight, Jason Chimera now is two goals shy of last season's total after just 20 games. How's that for secondary scoring.
The Caps also got goals from Alex Semin and Nicklas Backstrom in addition to Chimera's two tallies. Semin scored his 6th goal of the season just one game after being benched by coach Bruce Boudreau.
Alex Ovechkin hit the scoring sheet on a beautiful pass to setup Semin's goal in the f...

There r plenty of churches in Italy and plenty of outstanding mosaics in Ravenna. So, why St. Francis? Allright, it's the earliest example in Italy of the decorative use of majolica. It is also very beautiful outside - u can see on other photos here . Plus it stuck between tomb of Dante Alighieri and to Cripta Rasponi (Palazzo dela Provinsia) - both are famose themselves. The significance of this church is that remaining mosaic floor of crypt (9-10C) is under water.

The following information is from The School of Natural Healing's
100 Herb Syllabus
Capsicum annuum
A farmer used to give Cayenne to his chickens and cows when they were ailing, but never to the children when they were sick. One of the sons said, We were worth more to him than those animals! He should have given it to us, too. Dr. Christopher assured us that Cayenne is one of the greatest herbs of all time-though it is also one of the most misunderstood and ridiculed. He said that every home should have a good supply of Cayenne pepper.
When only a young man in his thirties, Dr. Christopher was told by the medical doctors that he could not live past his fortieth year because of arthritis, hardening of arteries, stomach ulcers, and some automobile accidents that had damaged him rather badly. He was so concerned that he started using Cayenne, working up to a teaspoon taken three times a day. By the time he was forty-five years old, he was working in a business wherein the group wanted him to have a $100,000 insurance policy because of the importance of the business deal.
Because it was such a large policy, the company required the examination to be given by two medical doctors, each to examine twice. At the end of one of these physicals, one of the doctors said, This is astounding! You have the venous structure of a teenage boy, at forty-five years of age !
The other doctor kept pumping up his blood pressure equipment over and over again, repeating the blood pressure check. Dr. Christopher began to be perturbed, and asked him if the equipment was broken. It always has worked up till now, but I keep looking at your chart, which says you are forty-five years old, and yet your systolic over your diastolic is absolutely perfect. I cannot comprehend it. Dr. Christopher assured him that it was indeed perfect, and he attributed this clean bill of health to Cayenne.
However, Dr. Christopher needed to be converted to the use of Cayenne. When he was attending the Herbal College in Canada, the teacher announced that they were going to study Cayenne. Why Cayenne? asked Dr. Christopher. It will burn the lining out of the stomach.
Where did you get your information, asked the teacher, Dr. Nowell. Oh, my mother told me, answered Dr. Christopher.
Everybody in the class laughed - except the teacher and Dr. Christopher. Dr. Nowell took Dr. Christopher around Vancouver and introduced him to over a dozen people whose lives had been saved with Cayenne: people with heart troubles, ulcers, asthma, and many other ailments. Wherever they went, the people were full of gratitude for being taught about Cayenne, and from then on Dr. Christopher was sold on it.
While Dr. Christopher was working in the business world, he was taking Cayenne, and on one business trip, he was traveling with an athlete, a man who had a black belt in karate and who was, in Dr. Christopher's words, a husky little guy. Yet he came from a family with a history of high blood pressure, and his uncle had died of varicosity. He was under the care of a doctor at the time. Every morning, Dr. Christopher would take a spoonful of Cayenne in a glassful of water, followed by a few tablespoons of wheat germ oil. The young man wanted to know what Dr. Christopher was taking and wanted to try some. You're probably too chicken, Dr. Christopher told him! This reverse psychology worked; Dr. Christopher noticed that his Cayenne was disappearing gradually. When they returned from the trip, the man continued taking Cayenne, one teaspoonful three times a day. The doctor was astonished at the young man's next checkup - after a lifetime of high blood pressure, he now had a clean bill of health.
Once a child was shot in the abdomen; a bullet hit the spine, ricocheted, and made a second wound leaving the body. One of Dr. Christopher's herbal students, living next door, heard the shot and raced over, as she knew that the parents were not home and that the children, ages eight and four, would not be shooting guns. There was the eight-year-old gushing blood out both sides. She ran to the cabinet and mixed a tablespoonful of cayenne in a glass of water; she poured it down the boy and immediately called the ambulance, which was eighteen miles away. The emergency room attendant said that the boy would probably bleed to death, being that the distance was so great. The ambulance arrived and rushed the child (who had been playing Cops and Robbers with his fathers pistol, which he had found Under the pillow of the bed, to the Primary Children's Hospital eighteen miles away. When he arrived, he was the center of attraction, not because his ease was so dangerous, but because he was chatting a mile a minute - and there was not bleeding. The bleeding had stopped by the time they arrived at the hospital. The chief doctor said to the parents, I have seen many accident victims in my life, but this is the first time in such an emergency operation that I have opened an abdomen to find no blood, except for a small amount that was there before the bleeding stopped so quickly. This has saved your boy's life.
In that same year, Dr. Christopher treated four other gunshot victims, and each ease responded the same, although sometimes the blood coagulates and comes out in clumps before it stops completely. By the time you count to ten, however, the heavy bleeding should stop completely after administering Cayenne. The Doctor even used tincture of Cayenne on open wounds and, as he put it, There may be a bit of muttering about it, referring to the burning feeling of the Cayenne, but the bleeding stops.
Dr. Christopher related the humorous story of a very fine student of his who had begun teaching herb classes on his own. This young man happened to precede Dr. Christopher's lecture one evening in Arizona. The young man said, You know, ladies and gentlemen, that Dr. Christopher has always made me gasp. I've seen him drink two or three tablespoons of Cayenne in water - and I'd just shudder. But tonight I'm going to do something that he may have never done himself. With that, he reached down into a container of Cayenne and threw a pinch right into his eye. Dr. Christopher thought that the man must have gone crazy and he was concerned that one of his students would do such a thing in public, although he knew that Cayenne can never hurt the cell structure, no matter how delicate it is. The tears ran down the man's cheek as he continued talking, and when he was finished, he opened his eye and invited everyone to look. The eye just sparkled; it was by far the brighter of the two, although Dr. Christopher said that he never had seen this antic performed again - and that he never dared to try it himself.
A lady who had been attending Dr. Christopher's lectures over the years told the story of her husband who had a severe ease of stomach ulcers. The doctor recommended that part of the stomach be removed, but the man preferred to suffer the pain rather than risk such an operation. But he also ridiculed his wife's recommendations to use Cayenne and other herbs. Whenever he would see Dr. Christopher in town, he'd bellow, Hello, Doc! Killed anybody with Cayenne today? Naturally, Dr. Christopher tried to avoid him, but one day he came directly to the Doctorbut this time without any sarcasm, instead being very apologetic, telling this story.
He had come home from work one night, so sick he wanted to die, with stomach ulcers. His wife was not home, but he was in such pain that he decided to commit suicide. When he looked into the medicine cabinet to find some kind of medicine poisonous enough to kill him, he discovered that his wife had discarded all the old bottles of pharmaceutical medicines. All he could find were some bottles of herbs and a large container of Cayenne pepper. He figured that a large dose of that would kill him, so he took a heaping tablespoon in a glass of hot water, gulped it down, rushed into the bedroom, and covered his head with a pillow so that the neighbors couldn't hear his dying screams.
The next thing he knew, his wife was shaking him awake the next morning. He had slept all night, the first time in years, instead of waking every half hour or so for anti-acid tablets. To his amazement, all his pain was gone. He continued using the Cayenne faithfully, three times a day, and never had any more trouble with ulcers.
Once, when traveling with a business partner, Dr. Christopher recommended Cayenne to him, as the man had extremely high blood pressure and such bad hemorrhoids that he had to wear a belt. Dr. Christopher used the same reverse psychology on this man - "I don't think you are brave enoughand pretty soon the man was taking the Cayenne and the wheat germ oil, too. In a few months, he did not have to wear a belt any longer, and his systolic and diastolic at his blood pressure examination were nearly perfect. He no longer had to go to the doctorand he lived many long years, for he kept taking his Cayenne.
Early in Dr. Christopher's practice, he was called in the middle of the night by a woman whose husband had just passed out from a heart attack. The Doctor told the woman to heat some water, and he arrived at the house and mixed a teaspoon of Cayenne into the water, propped up the man, and gave him just a little. When he came to, he finished the cup, and within a few minutes felt much stronger. Soon he was well, and became converted to the use of herbs, even buying and running one of the health food stores in Salt Lake City for many years.
One young man had cut his hand deeply, fingers as well as the palm. The blood spurted out in streams. He poured a large amount of Cayenne into the wound, and within seconds the blood flow slowed down, congealed, and stopped. He wrapped with wound, covering it first with a goodly amount of Cayenne. He was so excited about these results that he could hardly wait to attend the next herb lecture to tell about it. But when he unwrapped the bandage to show the audience, instead of a deep, ugly scar, the area was healed and there was no scar at all!
Cayenne can be used on any part of the body and for anybody, Dr. Christopher claimed. He even saved the life of a six-week-old baby who was born with chronic asthma by giving Cayenne tea, from an eyedropper, until the baby was able to breathe again. He said that Cayenne could even be given by enema for chronic constipation (if you are brave!).
At the age of seventy, a few years before he died, Dr. Christopher was asked by a premed student if he could take his blood pressure. The lecture group saw the blood pressure reading of a healthy young man, not the average reading of a seventy-year-old. In addition to a healthy life-style and the mucusless diet, Dr. Christopher attributed this good reading to his thrice-daily dose of Cayenne.
To show what a miracle worker Cayenne really is, Dr. Christopher related the experiment performed by medical doctors in the eastern United Statesand printed in the medical journals. They put some live heart tissue in a beaker filled with distilled water, and fed it nothing but Cayenne pepper, cleaning off sediments periodically and adding nothing else but distilled water to replace that which was lost from evaporation. During the experiment, they would have to trim the tissue every few days, because it would grow so rapidly! Having no control glands (pituitary and pineal), the tissue just continued to grow rapidly. They kept this tissue alive for fifteen years. After the doctor doing the experiment died, his associates kept it alive for two more years before destroying it for analysis. This shows the tremendous regenerative and healing power of Cayenne, especially upon the heart.
