Felix Salmon smackdown watch, European central bank edition
Martin Wolf's column last week was not an easy read. I did my best to turn it into English, only to run into an unexpected source of pushback: not only was I wrong, Martin Wolf was wrong as well.
Enter Olaf Storbeck, the International Economics Correspondent with Handelsblatt, Germany's business daily. He has an explanation of why Martin and I are wrong, which approaches in reading difficulty Martin's original column.
I spoke to Olaf today, and he sent me a bunch of links in German, but since I'm having enough difficulty getting my head around these issues in English, I'm not even going to attempt to read them. (But for the record, start here, and then try here and here; Mark Schieritz here, here, and here; Thomas Strobel here and here; and finally this.)
In English, there's also this press release from the Bundesbank, which says very clearly that "TARGET2 balances" — the things that Martin and I were worrying about — "do not pose specific risks to individual central banks".
And if all that isn't enough to be getting on with, Olaf has many more links within his own post.
Am I convinced that Martin was wrong? No — because a lot of this argument hinges on the idea that there's a bright line between fiscal policy and monetary policy, and my feeling is that the distinction tends to get very blurry indeed in a crisis. If a central bank lends unlimited amounts of money into the banking system to prevent it from collapse, or a finance ministry enters into a fiscal TARP-style operation with the same goal in mind, are they so very different?
But I'll be the first to admit that I'm no expert on any of this, and that when I blogged Martin's piece I didn't know how controversial his position was, and that many if not most central bankers would consider him simply factually incorrect on many counts. I thought his piece was excellent as analysis; as argument, I'm not fully persuaded.
So if there's a central-banking wonk out there who fancies adjudicating this dispute, I'm happy to put it up for arbitration. Wessel? Ip? Is Martin on to something here, or not?
The ECB annual accounts have this passage which should clear things up (?):
"Intra-ESCB transactions are cross-border transactions that occur between two EU central banks. Intra-ESCB transactions in euro are primarily processed via TARGET2 – the Trans- European Automated Real-time Gross settlement Express Transfer system– and give rise to bilateral balances in accounts held between those EU central banks connected to TARGET2. These bilateral balances are then assigned to the ECB on a daily basis, leaving each NCB with a single net bilateral position vis-à-vis the ECB only. This position in the books of the ECB represents the net claim or liability of each NCB against the rest of the ESCB."
http://www.ecb.int/pub/pdf/annrep/ar2010 annualaccounts_en.pdf
Felix, I think Hans Werner-Sinn has the most lucid explication of this issue. Inevitably heavy-going, but clear once you get the double-entry accounting straight in your head.
http://www.voxeu.org/index.php?q=node/65 99
The clearest explanation is linked in Olaf's comments
http://www.aleablog.com/2011/06/06/hoist ed-from-comments-eurosystem/
The Bundesbank TARGET balance has a counterpart in a Bundesbank liability to the German banking system – it reflects the unwillingness of German banks to lend to the interbank market as a whole, net (ie, to recycle the Sparkasse savings deposits).
[If a central bank lends unlimited amounts of money into the banking system to prevent it from collapse, or a finance ministry enters into a fiscal TARP-style operation with the same goal in mind, are they so very different?]
Collateral! If the central bank lends $10bn against $10bn of cash collateral (as the BIS in fact did to Mexico in the 1994/95 crisis), how much actual financing has it provided?
dsquared – Depends on the abiding value of the collateral. (Many people posts their homes v. mortgages in Spain and the U.S. Ask a local caja or FU how that's working out for them.)
Now, you can claim–and I'll agree, given no currency exposure–that $10B in cash is always worth $10B. But that leaves the BIS with $10B less in operating capital. Which is fine until it isn't. (See LEH for the extreme example.)
What appears to have happened so far is that the German/French–er, European–Central Bank has accepted collateral to lend to Ireland, Greece, and Spain (and Portugal, iirc) so that they can repay the German and French banks that made stupid loans at full value, or at least where they were marked when the German government took them over.
So if you believe that the (remaining) German banks are all perfectly solvent and are just "[unwilling] to lend to the interbank market as a whole," then there's no problem at all.
In the short term, that's a good bet. But there's also a good reason that most of the CDS selling on those securities is being done by NON-European banks. They may not know what's going to fall On the River, but they know the hole cards on both sides.
Hi Felix.
I don't know about whether I'm the right person to adjucate definitively but I think I probably do count as a central bank wonk (11 years at central banks, first the Fed, then the Irish Central Bank.)
I had written a piece criticising Sinn's claims over the weekend prior to seeing Olaf's excelletn article. Anyway, here it is, amended to also send people to read Olaf's piece
http://www.iiea.com/blogosphere/professo r-sinn-misses-the-target
To be fair, Martin Wolf is perhaps not to be blamed for reporting what must have seemed very important points made by a leading academic.
He Felix,
thanks for your post, I really appreciate that. Today, I've asked severel leading European economists about their view on the matter. Until tonight, Elga Bartsch (Morgan Stanley) and Holger Schmieding (Berenberg, formerly Bank of America) came back to me.
You can see their view here: http://olafstorbeck.com/2011/06/07/on-ta rget-whats-really-going-on-in-the-euro-a rea-banking-system/
Someone posted a link to this paper in a comment on my blog:
"The Mechanics of intra Euro capital flight", by Peter Garber, Deutsche Bank, published in December 2010.

I haven't had a detailed look at it but it seems to be quite promising…

Future of Online News
Many website designers run their own niche blog, and if the content is unique enough, a designer might be able to sell subscriptions to it. The content has to be very high quality, though, and few design blogs meet that standard.
A List Apart is one that does, and it could potentially turn a profit selling subscriptions. But the subscription route is a risky move because it alienates many users and shrinks ad revenue substantially.
Jeffrey Zeldman, publisher, founder and executive creative director of A List Apart, gives two reasons why A List Apart does not put its content behind a paywall:
- It's against our belief in free online content.
- It wouldn't work unless our competitors also put their content behind a paywall. We appeal to a discerning base of web designers, but if we went behind a paywall, it would be as if we had stopped publishing. Our readers would turn elsewhere."

Who are the competitors of A List Apart? I am not aware of any site that could be considered a peer to A List Apart.

Theo said on 8 March 2010 at 2:56 pm:
Agree with Joe, A List Apart is unique.Free and incredibly good content. Behind a paywall it would not be "Apart" anymore.
Neal G said on 8 March 2010 at 4:15 pm:
The funny thing is, the Financial Times website that limits users to viewing only 10 articles per month doesn't do a very good job at blocking us from viewing the content. Its as simple as using Firefox+Stylish to hide the annoying overlay and display: block the content they are trying to hide.
Evan Skuthorpe said on 10 March 2010 at 8:04 am:
I wouldn't visit if you charged. Quite frankly the internet is a free source of information and entertainment (mostly) that we all use and value.
If a given web site started to charge, another free one covering exactly the same content would popup in it's place.
A case in point: Here in London, a newspaper called The Evening Standard which started way back in 1827 recently became a freesheet. It's a London based paper that many hundreds of thousands of people read on the way home from work. It became free due to competition from other freesheets. It's paid for by advertising.
Old media is adopting the way of the new.
Comments off.

USAGE NOTE Historic and historical have different usages, though their senses overlap. Historic refers to what is important in history: the historic first voyage to the moon. It is also used of what is famous or interesting because of its association with persons or events in history: a historic house. Historical refers to whatever existed in the past, whether regarded as important or not: a minor historical character. Historical also refers to anything concerned with history or the study of the past: a historical novel; historical discoveries. While these distinctions are useful, these words are often used interchangeably, as in historic times or historical times.

Map: The Cheap Beers People Drink Across The U.S.
For the most part, the visualization reinforces half-marketed, half-social stereotypes. Coors really does "tap the Rockies," and people in the Lone Star state actually drink Lone Star. Corona is the beer of beaches—the kids in SoCal love it — though don't tell Floridians and their Yuengling that. And Milwaukee's Best is absolutely a popular drink in Milwaukee.

The Man in the Iron Mask
Though it clocks in at a really strong two hours, the otherwise great movie "Iron Man" does leave some fans wanting more. Luckily there's a corresponding videogame from Sega for every system under the sun to pick up the slack. Besides expanding on the story, what else is packed into the interactive version of the suit? We asked Sega's Andy Alamano, the game's associate producer, for the technical specs on the game.
Crispy Gamer: First off, is the game just called Iron Man or is it called Iron Man: The Movie or Iron Man: The Game or something similarly semicoloned?
Andy Alamano: Just good ol' Iron Man. We didn't think we needed to make it painfully obvious to people that it had something to do with the movie when they both come out the same day.
Crispy Gamer: What kind of game is Iron Man; what is the gameplay like and what is the story's plot?
Alamano: Iron Man is a very fast-paced flight shooter, but it also has a great deal of ground-based action elements. It's third-person, but it's more shooter than adventure game. The game's plot revolves around Tony Stark tracking down his stolen tech and eventually tracking his company's leak to the source.
Crispy Gamer: How does the game's story expand upon the one told in the movie?
Alamano: The beginning of the movie is the beginning of the game and the end of the movie is the end of the game, but everything that happens in between is where we got to create parts to our own story. By using material found within the comics, we were able to create our own side story that still ties in tightly with the events of the film.
Crispy Gamer: How did you decide which of the comic book bad guys you'd add to the game?
Alamano: Aside from those in the film, we were able to add such classics as Whiplash, Madame Masque, The Melter and Titanium Man. There's really so many that we simply picked ones we felt were the best fit to the story we created.
Crispy Gamer: Did you have to consult with Marvel or the people making the movie to make sure that you weren't bringing in a character they were planning to use in a later movie?
Alamano: Marvel has full visibility on all of their titles, and Iron Man is no exception. They get full approval on every step of action we take, especially on decisions revolving around the inclusion of their properties.
Crispy Gamer: How did you decide what the gameplay would be like?
Alamano: We worked to make sure that we included all the flight abilities of the armor early on in prototypes. Once we knew what the suit had to do, we were able to begin creating the massive world around it.
Crispy Gamer: Did you ever consider making it a different kind of game?
Alamano: Being tied to both a Marvel property as well as a major film, the context of what Iron Man should be was pretty set from the start.
Crispy Gamer: One aspect of the game I was glad you included is Iron Man's ability to grab missiles in mid-flight and throw them back at the missile launcher. How hard was it to get to work right and be fun?
Alamano: That was something that we had envisioned, and had worked on, rather early. It took a lot of work to get it to the point where it was practical to do in combat.
Crispy Gamer: Were there any other of Iron Man's abilities that you either considered or even tried to get into the game but, for some reason, weren't able to?
Alamano: In its inception, there was talk about what we could have Tony doing outside of the suit in terms of gameplay, whether it was managing the company or flirting with the ladies. In the end, we had to keep Tony stuck to the combat action of the suit.
Crispy Gamer: So there's no Tony Stark drinking game?
Alamano: Like I said, we had to pretty much keep Tony in the suit to keep up with the game's action design and keep things focused.
Crispy Gamer: Speaking of the suit, Iron Man has had a bunch of different suits over the years, and he's got a couple in the movie. Did you just use the ones from the film in the game, or are there some that are in one but not the other?
Alamano: We had to make sure we got all the movie suits in the game for sure. We also feature several of Iron Man's comic book suits as unlockables that you earn as you progress through the game.
Crispy Gamer: Do any of the stars of the movie do their character's voices in the game?
Alamano: Everyone we worked with was very excited to reprise their roles from the film in the game. Robert Downey, Jr. is so excited about the role that he actually took a lot of his time to go over our game script and help iterate on specific details to make sure our Tony was the same as the film's.
Crispy Gamer: But Downey only does Tony Stark's voice for the cut scenes, not during the game itself. That seems weird to me, why didn't he just do the gameplay stuff when he was doing the cut scenes?
Alamano: Unfortunately, a Hollywood actor's time is very tough to book. Between Iron Man as well as other projects, we simply had to work with the time he could allow us.
Crispy Gamer: How closely did you work with the other people involved in the film, such as director Jon Favreau or the producers?
Alamano: The film producers as well as Jon had visibility on the project as we worked on it. They got to take looks at the game and present feedback so that we knew what we were working on was synching up with what was planned for the film.
Crispy Gamer: Now I've heard that Favreau is actually a gamer. Did he offer any ideas or criticisms of the game that were especially helpful?
Alamano: He had a lot of great feedback in terms of Iron Man's hover animations, telling us what he had planed the SFX crews to do with the CGI Iron Man. We made sure it was as close to his specs as we could get it.
Crispy Gamer: Will the game feature the original version of the Black Sabbath song?
Alamano: It does in fact feature "Iron Man" in several spots in the game.
Crispy Gamer: Did anyone ever suggest using a different version, either something dumb like a P. Diddy remix of it or something cool like the version Metallica did?
Alamano: No.
Crispy Gamer: The game is being published by Sega, which is also doing The Incredible Hulk game, which comes out a month after Iron Man. Is there any crossover planned? Like is there a level in Iron Man where you fight the Hulk? Or even something where if you put in The Incredible Hulk game, it'll look for an Iron Man saved file, and if it finds it, you get something special?
Alamano: As a matter of fact, the games will detect each others' save files. You will be able to unlock the "Hulkbuster Armor" in both games, providing you have a save from the other title.
Crispy Gamer: Nice. The game is coming out for numerous systems: Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, Wii, PSP, Nintendo DS and PC. First off, besides Achievements, is there any major difference between the 360 and PS3 versions?
Alamano: Both the 360 and PS3 each feature a unique armor found only on that system. The PS3 includes "Ultimate Iron Man" while the 360 features "Silver Centurion."
Crispy Gamer: Second, is the PSP version going to be like the PS2 or the DS? And what is the DS version going to be like?
Alamano: The PSP version features similar gameplay to the PS2 but is has its own mini-games. The DS version is an entirely different top-down shooter that uses the stylus for gameplay.
Crispy Gamer: Finally, while most hardcore gamers dislike games based on movies, there seems to be some enthusiasm for Iron Man. Given that, what kind of gamers do you think will like Iron Man?
Alamano: I think anyone who is a fan of the tech and the armor itself will enjoy the game. Being able to control the Iron Man armor is a great experience and will make a lot of people feel like they're in the shoes of Tony Stark.

New Addition To Google's Local Business Center Highlights Competition
A little over two weeks ago Google launched a new addition to the Local Business Center. As one who has followed the Local Business Center progress from the start, I am always curious to see what Google has planned for this awesome platform. The new addition, plainly stated, is disappointing.
After the reviews section on the Place Pages is now a section called "Nearby places you might like" which lists local competitors, even if the owner has claimed the Local Business Center (LBC) page! Looking at an Olive Garden page here in Arizona brings up this result in the "Nearby places you might like" section.
If Olive Garden spends the time to claim the LBC listing, as well as optimize the page to be found better, why should the competition benefit from Olive Garden's work? I was hoping that this section would develop into more of an "accessories" or "additional recommendations" such as a person who shops for a car would see car insurance or car stereo installer recommendations instead of direct competition.
As this appears near the bottom of the page, I would suggest making sure your "Details" section of the LBC be completely filled in. For example a business could add more phone numbers, add more categories if they are a fit, in the additional details add areas serviced or products available. The coupon section appears before the "Nearby places" as well as the hours and payment options. I would highly recommend making sure all the information be added to push the competitive section below the fold.

Puppies Keep Lost Boy Warm in Woods
A Virginia boy was rescued on Saturday after being lost in the woods with his puppies for 21 hours.
Jaylynn Thorpe, 3, had wandered away from his babysitters house the day prior to go "hunting and fishing," accompanied by his two 12-week-old puppies.
"They found him standing; he was wet, but the dogs were with him," said Sarah Ingram, Jaylynn's mother. "I was told that the dogs slept with him. They could tell where they slept in the woods."
Ingram said the puppies slept on either side of her son, keeping him warm through the night.
After the boy was found, he reportedly ate two double cheeseburgers, a hot dog and strawberry ice cream with three Pepsi-Colas to top it off!

Our Home, Planet Earth. Captured by Karen Nyberg, an astronaut aboard in the International Space Station
(1 Aug. 2013) — NASA astronaut Karen Nyberg, Expedition 36 flight engineer, works with the InSPACE-3 experiment in the Microgravity Science Glovebox (MSG) in the Destiny laboratory of the International Space Station. InSPACE-3 applies different magnetic fields to vials of colloids, or liquids with microscopic particles, and observes how fluids can behave like a solid. Results may improve the strength and design of materials for stronger buildings and bridges.

How an Astronaut Faced a Drowning Hazard… in Space
There are few fears that can top the fear of drowning. Actually, there is. The fear of drowning in space. And that fear was a very real and terrifying possibility for Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano during what should have been a "routine" extravehicular activity (EVA) earlier this month. Now, his spacewalking partner NASA astronaut Chris Cassidy explains what happened.
Spacewalk Aborted When Water Fills Astronaut's Helmet
A planned six-hour spacewalk outside the International Space Station came to a dramatic and abrupt end on Tuesday when water started building up inside the helmet of Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano.
Parmitano and NASA astronaut Chris Cassidy were less than an hour into their spacewalk, their second in a week, when Parmitano reported that his head felt wet.
"My head is really wet and I have a feeling it's increasing," Parmitano reported to ground control teams at the Johnson Space Center in Houston.
The cause of the leak was not immediately known.

MADISON (WSAU) Barack Obama is less popular now in Wisconsin than he was last spring.
A new St. Norberts College poll puts the President's job approval rating at 50-percent. It was 10-points higher in the same poll last April.
38-percent of those asked think the county is moving in the right direction. That number was 41-percent 6-months ago.
59-percent of those surveyed did not believe President Obama deserved the Nobel Peace Prize.
The survey was conducted by telephone last week, and involved 400 random participants. The margin of error is plus-or-minus 5-percentage points.

National Transportation Safety Board's Implementation of GAO Recommendations
GAO-12-306R: Published: Jan 6, 2012. Publicly Released: Jan 6, 2012.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
NTSB has fully implemented all of the 21 recommendations we have made to the agency since 2006. After assessing NTSBs progress since our 2010 report, we conclude that NTSB has now fully implemented the 12 recommendations not previously closed.
Among the actions NTSB took since January 2010 are the following:
- developed a strategic training plan that is aligned with its revised strategic plan,
- established a diversity task force and management development programs to address diversity management issues,
- deployed an agencywide document management system that improved the efficiency of its process for closing recommendations,
- implemented an accounting system that tracks the amount of time employees spend on each investigation to allow better management of agency resources, and
- limited users ability to load software or modify NTSB workstations to reduce risk to NTSB computers and internal network.
Why GAO Did This Study
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigates every civil aviation accident in the United States and selected accidents involving other transportation modes, determines the probable causes of these accidents, makes recommendations to address safety issues identified during accident investigations, performs transportation safety studies, and operates a Training Center for NTSB investigators and other transportation safety professionals. NTSB is a relatively small federal agency with about 400 staff and a fiscal year 2011 budget of about $98 million. From 2006 through 2008, we made 21 recommendations to NTSB aimed at improving its management, information technology, accident investigation criteria, safety studies, and Training Center use. In January 2010, we reported that NTSB had fully implemented 9 of our 21 recommendations and made significant progress in implementing the remaining 12 recommendations. NTSBs 2006 reauthorization legislation included language that called for us to annually evaluate NTSBs programs, operations, and activities. As agreed with the congressional committees, this report evaluates NTSBs progress in implementing our remaining 12 recommendations as of December 2011.

During design Miami/ Basel 2010, Dutch artist Tomas Gabzdil designed a glass and aluminum cabinet with a figure of martyred Christ, covered by a wax honeycomb a structure. Over the course of the fair, 40,000 worker bees were released into the cabinet. They first completed the honeycomb skin over the figure filling each cell with honey, then they removed the honey to return it to the beehive, cleaning the martyred Christ back to the wax cells.

Another great book we have in the library from Schilt Publishing!
"Hunters is an arresting exploration of tourist trophy hunting in southern Africa by British photographer David Chancellor. Primarily relying on portraiture, both in the field and in the hunters' homes and trophy rooms, Chancellor delves into the controversial and lucrative subculture. Despite the fact that his camera never shies from blood, the gore is at a notable minimum. Instead, the tension that fills each frame is drawn from his subjects—the foreign hunters, their families, the local guides and the very land to which they have come seeking their prey."

A scathing parody of Telenovela clich�s (as well as of the life of immigrants in the United States), it was produced by a Colombian animation company for the International Telemundo network from 2001 to 2003.

Louisville has been recognized by the nonprofit Arbor Day Foundation as a Tree City USA community for its commitment to urban forestry. The city has earned this recognition for more than a dozen years and Mayor Greg Fischer accepted the award on behalf of the city at the Louisville Arbor Day Festival, held at Iroquois Park.
"We are committed to being a greener city including expanding our tree canopy by leaps and bounds," Fischer said. "Being named a Tree City USA again, shows we are heading in the right direction, but we have ambitious goals for planting 5,000 more trees this spring and summer, then we will set a much larger goal later this year."
Fischer said the One Bright City initiative which will greatly involve citizens in keeping neighborhoods clean and planting and maintain trees will help the community reach its tree-planting objectives.
The Tree City USA program is sponsored by the Arbor Day Foundation in cooperation with the National Association of State Foresters and the USDA Forest Service. Presenting the award was Peter Barber, urban and community forestry partnership coordinator for the Kentucky Division of Forestry.
Nearly 300 students joined Fischer at Iroquois Park and planted trees and engaged in environmental education activities and workshops. The students were from Cane Run, Chenoweth, Portland, Whitney Young Elementary Schools and Frederick Law Olmsted Academy South Middle School. The Louisville Water Company provided seedlings for students to take home, encouraging them to plant the trees and register the plantings at the online Tree Tracker maintained by Brightside and available at www.louisvilleky.gov/brightside
In support of the Give A Day week of service, three tree-care companies announced plans to participate in Metro Parks "Adopt-a-Park" program. Each will donate services by certified arborists to assist Metro Parks in caring for trees in three of the city's parks. Limbwalker Tree Service has 'adopted' Central Park, Blankenship Tree Service will help care for Nelson Hornbeck Park, and Greenhaven Tree Care will provide services to Berrytown Park.
"We're very grateful for the generous support in time and talent that these new Adopt-a-Park partners bring to the program," said Metro Parks director Mike Heitz. "Their contributions will greatly assist and complement the year-round efforts of our forestry division in tree care and management at these parks."
Other tree companies donating time to the Arbor Day event were Abundant Tree Care Company, Bob Ray Tree Company, Nelson Tree Service, Townsend Tree Service, and Wright Tree Service.
In addition to the Louisville Water Company, the Arbor Day Festival received support from Kleinert Kutz Hand Care Center, KFC, and LG&E.

The Time Has Come...
Well...hello everybody! It has been a long time since I last posted anything and I wanted to come on to address my absence. First of all, let me just say that I sincerely appreciate all of you who visit the site, read, comment, and overall support Naturally Leslie. Secondly, I want you to know that if you have sent an email asking a question or making a request of some kind, you were not intentionally ignored! I simply have not been able to devote myself to blogging the way I did in the past.
Over the last few months I have been consumed with work, motherhood, and just life in general. Since the last time I posted we bought a house and moved on top of everything else that was going on. My little baby is now a cruising, babbling, days-away-from-being-a-one-year-old little boy. While it has been a whole year since his birth, to me, time has flown by and I still feel new at this mommy thing. I have found that I simply don't have the time or energy (baby just started sleeping more than 3 hours at a time like a month ago...eek!) it takes to devote to blogging. That sucks for me because I have truly enjoyed the time I spent with all of you in this virtual realm.
I also realized that while deep down I love natural hair and pretty much anything to do with it, I am also a bit bored with the whole thing. I've been natural for 12 years now and honestly I am no longer as fascinated by styles, regimens, products, etc the way I once was. Call me jaded! I totally get how a newbie or even someone a few years in can still enjoy it all but I have to say, I think I've maxed out...for now anyway!
So all in all, I want you to know that while I have not been around, I appreciate you. Your readership, your support, your patience. I am not going to be posting anything else but I wanted to come on a say good bye officially. I am going to put up an away message on my Naturally Leslie gmail account stating more or less this same thing in case people skip reading this and send me an email!
I hope you all have a wonderful journey, both with your hair and in your lives. I bump into readers all the time so please feel free to say hey if we cross paths out in the "real world", lol! I wish you all the best in your personal and/or professional endeavors and it has been a real pleasure sharing this experience with you.
Peace and lots of love!

Aww, it was fun while it lasted! I wish you the best, keep enjoying your life to the fullest :)ReplyDelete
Awww you will be missed. Thank you for sharing your storyReplyDelete
Good luck with everything that now occupies your time. I had my first son 2 years ago and my second son (accident - hubby and I didn't believe the doctor) 13 mos ago. Anyway, I began my natural journey when I got pregnant with my first. Its fun, but babies keep my completely occupied now. I JUST started feeling like I knew what I was doing like a couple months ago with these tots of mine. All that to say, it'll take you a minute being new to motherhood, lol, but its possible you'll revisit us in a year.ReplyDelete
Take care,
xo - Deia@Love&Tangles
God bless you and your family :-}

Welcome International Visitors!
Although this site first and foremost aims at a German climate audience I appreciate international visitors as well.
Please enjoy the blog section. This blog only contains articles about climate, real climate facts (not alarmistic warmist fictions), and its possible REAL CAUSES of climate changes, natural changes in solar particle fluxes, oscillations in ocean currents like El Niño and La Niña, variations in the jet stream, volcanism, and so on.
It does not contain anything about - or against - so-called "green energies". I am skeptical about anthropogenic global warming (AGW) and in particular its supposed source, a major greenhouse effect (GHE) caused by carbon dioxide (CO2), but I like "green energies". Not because they will "save the world" but because they are rather new and therefore exciting for me.
I think we will need some more years to see if they are beneficial or detrimental for human society and our being on earth. I don´t even understand reservations against subventions of green energies since nuclear power also was highly subsidized for more than 50 years all over the world, and since Fukushima now more and more populations of different countries are beginning to dislike this form of energy production. So, apparantly nuclear power was a meander.
Why not dare being on the wrong track with green energies now? I see much potential in them once they will be fully developed and their current drawbacks overcome. Their greatest potential perhaps is their ability to decentralize energy creation which might lead to more competition and thus lower energy prices in the long run whereas oil, gas, and coal are becoming more and more expensive - which is a simple fact.
If you have any questions, proposals or comments, please use the contact form.
I also invite you to contribute to my blog. Please read the Terms of Contribution and send me an email if you wish to publish your relevant skeptical climate article here.
Many Thanks!

Swift Sport bares fangs and claws
[Henrie Geyser: motoring editor] Suzuki has given its popular Swift the go-faster, go-cleaner and go-pull-some-looks treatment and have come up a natty little fun to drive version it calls the Swift Sport which is good enough to give the Fiat Abarth, Ford Fiesta, Citroen DS3 and the Renault Twingo a good dice for their money.
ML: This carriage is fit for royalty
[Henrie Geyser: motoring editor] The Mercedes-Benz M-Class, South Africa's top-selling snooty SUV, has been substantially upgraded so that it looks prettier, feels classier and is now even safer, considerably less thirsty and more fun to drive.
Citroen's classy SUV contender
[Henrie Geyser: motoring editor] Like many other carmakers Citroen has now also waltzed on to the rapidly growing SUV market enticed by the sweet tunes of the Jewish Harp and confident that its new three-model Aircross range is sexy enough to lure SUV-addicted South Africans away from the brands that dominate this lucrative market segment.
CX-5 sets new pace for Mazda
[Henrie Geyser: motoring editor] Mazda's trail-blazing new CX-5 has arrived in South Africa just few months after its international debut and it's easy to understand why it has ignited such a world-wide frenzy of debate, praise and enthusiasm, most of it about its pace-setting new Skyactive technology.
Lexus ready to rumble the Germans
[Henrie Geyser: motoring editor] Lexus has always been a leading stalker of the dominant German three-brand gang but now that it has unwrapped its new GS range its status has moved from amber threat to red attack alert because for the very first time Lexus has the weapons to take on the enemy on all fronts - and to outclass and beat them.
Gizmos and glitter for VW's flagship
[Henrie Geyser: motoring editor] Volkswagen has prettied up and added more glitter to its already good-looking four-door coupé range and this time round the CC might just rattle the comfort zone cages of the Audi A4, Mercedes-Benz C-Class and BMW 3 Series in key departments such as ride quality, comfort, performance and looks.
Floats like a butterfly, stings like a bee

Subaru's soft city slicker
[Henrie Geyser: motoring editor] House husbands have become a common phenomena ever since international belt-tightening sparked off job losses and unemployment with more and more men forced to work from home and take on school run duties, household chores and don aprons while their wives stuffed their iPads and fancy phones into their Gucci bags and headed off to their executive jobs to earn the household's main income.
Scorcher Merc with bad-boy tattoos
