Washington • President Barack Obama is sticking to a fossil-fuel dependent energy policy, delivering a blow to a monthslong, behind-the-scenes effort by nearly every major environmental group to convince the White House that the policy is at odds with his goals on global warming.
The division between Obama and some of his staunchest supporters has been simmering for months, a surprising schism that shows the fine line the environmental community has walked with a Democratic president who has taken significant steps on climate change, and the recalcitrance of Obama's White House when it is criticized, even by its allies.

Days before Obama's State of the Union speech, the heads of 18 environmental groups sent a letter to the president that had long been in the works saying his policy doesn't make sense. They see a contradiction in increased American production of energy from oil and natural gas at the same time the government is attempting to reduce the pollution blamed for global warming.
"We believe that continued reliance on an 'all-of-the-above' energy strategy would be fundamentally at odds with your goal of cutting carbon pollution," they wrote.
But in his Tuesday night speech, Obama proclaimed that embracing all forms of energy, even carbon-pollution fossil fuels such as oil and natural gas, is working.
"Taken together, our energy policy is creating jobs and leading to a cleaner, safer planet," said Obama.
White House officials knew last spring that a letter objecting to their energy policy was in the works. They urged the environmental groups to wait until after Obama delivered a speech on climate change in June, hoping his aggressive steps on global warming would change their minds.
"There is a cognitive dissonance inside the administration. We believe their commitment to fight climate change is genuine, and yet the energy policy goals of the administration make achieving climate change much more difficult," Michael Brune, executive director of the Sierra Club, said in an interview with the Associated Press.
The environmental groups' stance could be dismissed as advocacy groups just doing what they do — pushing the president to go further on an issue important to their members. Already, they have protested a pipeline project carrying Canadian tar sands oil into the U.S., fought to shutter coal-fired power plants and opposed hydraulic fracturing.
But for the major groups, the letter marked new territory, the first time the lobby has been both united and sharply critical of Obama's central environmental issue and one they support in principle: curbing climate change.
"Not a lot of these groups have said it aloud. It does mark a shift in environmental community," said Maura Cowley, executive director of the Energy Action Coalition, who signed the letter.
That shift was clear in the reaction to Obama's State of the Union. Groups that had viewed the June climate speech positively pointed out what they saw as a flaw in logic in the president's remarks Tuesday night.
"An 'all-of-the-above energy strategy' cannot work for the president's own climate action plan and the climate vision he espoused," said Trip Van Noppen, president of Earthjustice, who also signed the letter. "We should not be locking ourselves into fossil fuel dependence that doesn't pass the president's own climate test."
The idea to take on Obama's all-of-the-above energy strategy began to take shape at a retreat in upstate New York in May. As the groups privately pressed the White House to adjust its policy, White House officials pushed them to hold off on the letter until after the climate speech.
The letter was sent Jan. 16.
The White House objected to its substance, arguing that it is possible to control emissions even as fossil fuel production climbs.
John Podesta, an Obama senior adviser, wrote that he was "surprised" the groups moved forward with the letter, especially since the White House has had to fend off repeated attacks from Republicans and the fossil fuel industry on its environmental policies.
No one in the environmental community is knocking what Obama has achieved. He has secured deals to double the fuel economy for cars and trucks, greatly expanded renewable energies such as wind and solar power and has proposed the first-ever limits on carbon dioxide pollution from future coal-fired power plants.
This summer, the Obama administration is expected to take on the largest source of carbon dioxide pollution by proposing limits for existing coal-fired power plants.Next Page >

Comments about Planet Waves Dare Guitar Strap:
This strap has worked well for me for at least 5 years now. It does what it is supposed to do, distributing the guitar's weight across both shoulders. A softer material, such as leather, might be more comfortable. I know there is a leather version being marketed now, but it is very pricey.
The guitar's position does shift to the right with this strap (I play right handed), but I have gotten used to this and make adjustments as necessary.
This strap has saved me on long gigs from shoulder pain.
Best Uses
Comments about Planet Waves Dare Guitar Strap:
Not comfortable.Made for someone with a larger frame.Not a small person.
Comments about Planet Waves Dare Guitar Strap:
i bought this and the other adjustable strap (the slider.) don't bother with the slider. this, on the other hand is the best fifteen dollars i've spent in years. it has multiple adjustments and not only does it do what it says, you can adjust your guitar the that perfect angle you've always wished for. it will actually make you play better. i can reach certain scales with so much more ease and comfort. buy it, you won't regret it.
Comments about Planet Waves Dare Guitar Strap:
I have an artificial disc in my neck and I need two more. Anything that would transfer load to the right shoulder is a big deal for me. In every case when I adjusted this strap so that some weight was on the right shoulder then the guitar was pulled to far back toward my left hip. And even if I was willing to compromise on the guitar position (Which I am not) most of the weight is still on the left side regardless of any attempts to adjust the strap otherwise.
Comments about Planet Waves Dare Guitar Strap:
If you own any of the other planet wave nylon straps, guess what? You can do this already! Shorten your strap so that your loop is big enough to stick your head through. Make sure the loop you stick your head through is large enough so you don't choke. I have been doing this for the past 5 years. You do not need this strap.
Comments about Planet Waves Dare Guitar Strap:
I bought this despite reading the other reviews. It is turning out to be a waste of money.I have a shoulder injury and was hopeful that this strap might relieve that shoulder by spreading the guitar's weight to both shoulders.Using this strap for the last 2 hours, I find that my back is very tired. My left shoulder remained burdened by most of the guitar load. Also, I can't comfortably hold the guitar as I am used to.The fabric used is very sharp on the edges and it would cut into your neck, as suggested by the other reviewers.
Comments about Planet Waves Dare Guitar Strap:
Very rough. Irritates my neck too much. I just wear t-shirts, so.... Wear a hoodie you might be alright, because it does distribute the weight nicely. That is once you get the straps properly adjusted, and if you haven't decapitated your self! Haha :)
Comments about Planet Waves Dare Guitar Strap:
Standard guitar straps aggrevate my thorasic outlet syndrome, so a strap like this is a necessity if I want to play for any length of time. The problem that was most immediately apparent after receiving this in the mail is that the strap holes are waaaay too tight to be used as is. I had to cut the holes open a little just to get it on the strap pegs. If that were it, though, I'd still be a happy customer. It seems that Planet Waves skimped on the button holding the two shoulder straps together. It snaps apart very easily and it requires some duct tape to make it useable. For what it's worth, the thing is damn comfortable. I will be gettings some pads for the soulders, as the material cuts into the neck more than most other straps, but the difference the weight distrobution makes is remarkable. For those of us with back injuries, and those smart enough to want to avoid them, there are few options. For now, this will do, but let's hope more and better products present themselves soon.

very friendly staff and very helpful
I enjoyed working with Jim. He was very helpful.
The facility was closed when I dropped off the truck.
Jim and his Son were very helpful and very friendly, especially since the last location didn't have our truck back in time. Jim jumped right on it and help us out. Thank you Jim for the excellent service. Keep up the good work!
I can't think of anything. I got the equipment I needed and the service was prompt and courteous.
When I checked out the trailer I was told I could return it to any location. When I attempted to return the trailer to a location closer to my home in Arvada I was told I would have to pay an additional and significant fee and that to avoid the fee I would have to return it to the location I rented the trailer originally. I did return the trailer to the Wheat Ridge location, though it was closed on Sunday morning. It was inconvenient that I was given the wrong information at the time I rented the trailer.
Jim and his crew were quick to help and even took time to install the lights kit I purchased. Their service was excellent, professional and friendly.

"The panel is deeply concerned that Treasury has not required GMAC to lay out a clear path to viability or a strategy for fully repaying taxpayers." This, according to a Congressional Oversight Panel that was created as a watchdog for the U.S. Treasury's Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) funds. The fix? Potentially breaking GMAC up into units and merging its auto lending business back into General Motors.
As a refresher, the Treasury invested $17.2 billion in TARP funds into GMAC, after which the financial company lost $8.3 billion on its Residential Capital unit in 2009. For it's part, Treasury has responded to the panel in a statement, saying, "Treasury continues to be a reluctant shareholder and to manage its investment in GMAC in a hands-off commercial manner consistent with the administration's established principles that guide Treasury's management of financial interests in private firms."
And since we've heard from the congressional panel and Treasury, why not from GMAC itself? Again, from a statement as reported to Automotive News: "We appreciate the panel's responsibility to analyze history; however, GMAC's management team is focused on the future. That includes continuing to provide the highest level of service to auto dealers and consumers in support of our auto partners, returning GMAC to a high level of profitability, and repaying the U.S. Treasury."
At this point, there's no clear indication on how Treasury or the congressional panel will proceed. Regardless, this is an issue that we'll be keeping a close eye on in the coming weeks. Stay tuned.

The global energy demand will at least double and possibly quadruple by 2100, energy experts project. As we face the dangers of increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and pass peak oil production, fusion becomes a very attractive option for supplying this future demand.
Fusion is the process that produces the amazing quantities of energy that pour out of stars, such as our sun. It occurs when light atoms such as hydrogen become so hot that they fuse, into new elements, such as helium, in the process releasing large amounts of energy.
The ingredients for this amazing process are abundant on earth, and no greenhouse gases or long-lived nuclear waste are created by fusion. Once harnessed, fusion power will be a nearly unlimited, safe and climate friendly energy source.
The barriers to creating a burning mixture akin to the sun seemed almost insurmountable fifty years ago. However experiments all over the world now routinely create plasmas hotter than the sun, and are perfecting the fine control required to maintain long experiments. European research has had many successes confining plasmas with intricately designed magnetic fields with split-second control systems. An alternative approach, inertial confinement fusion, is also being explored in the US.
The current generation of experiments mostly explore plasma physics using deuterium (heavy hydrogen) as guinea pig. The next generation of experiments is being pioneered by the giant ITER machine, currently being built in the south of France. ITER will use a deuterium/tritium fuel mix, to demonstrate that power can be produced by fusion – although, as an experimental facility, it will not be connected to the grid. Beyond ITER plans are already afoot to build the first working fusion power station, DEMO.
Under the umbrella of EFDA, Europe's fusion laboratories coordinate their research towards this common goal of harnessing fusion processes. With substantial funding, the DEMO power plant could be running in 2030 and a first commercial fusion power plant could be ready by 2050.

Get rid of the commercials
Plz make a paid version for 99c and without those adds. Also it would be great if you guys added more physical examination (for example mitrial regurgitation can be attenuated by hand grip, expiration, etc...). More heart sounds would be great too. Nice little app for practicing your heart sounds.
Better learning!
I really liked the first version of the app, but now with the looping heart sounds, I can really learn through repetition. It`s great. Thanks, Littmann.
Pretty good
The only things that could make it better is lung sounds and a few more heart sounds but thanks littmann this is awesome for nursing students and I <3 my littmann stethescope!

Ken Cuccinelli has made defunding Planned Parenthood health centers and denying Virginia women access to quality, affordable health care top priorities throughout his career. But his attacks on Planned Parenthood and women's health have real consequences for Virginia women like Vanessa who have turned to Planned Parenthood for access to quality, affordable health care.
More than 24,000 women and men across Virginia rely on Planned Parenthood health centers every year, and one in five women in the U.S. has visited a Planned Parenthood health center at least once in her life – not to make a political statement but to get high-quality, affordable health care. In 2012-2013, 17 percent of women aged 15-44 in Virginia were uninsured. But the policies Ken Cuccinelli supports would go even further to limit these women's access to affordable health care.
Ken Cuccinelli's has continually put his extreme ideology ahead of the thousands of Virginians who rely on Planned Parenthood health centers for preventive health services like birth control and lifesaving cancer screenings. If we're going to protect access to health care, for women like Vanessa, we must fight to keep Ken out of the governor's mansion.

Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
Investors at all levels will benefit from Dr. Shilling's impeccable research and lively, easy-to-understand writing style. His numerous charts and graphs give the reader:
-- 13 investing strategies for profiting through deflationary times
-- Low-risk bond investment strategies -- to sustain equity-style total returns
-- Industry sectors positioned to outperform the market
Shilling sees several forces feeding the trend toward deflation, including the end of the cold war, reduced government spending, growing surpluses, the widespread adoption of technology, the emergence of the Internet, deregulation, and the recent Asian contagion. He also believes that the stock market is due for a severe correction that "would destroy enough individual wealth to chase consumers out of spending and into a saving spree," thereby slowing demand for goods and services and encouraging deflation even more.
Among the investments that Shilling recommends for deflationary times are treasury coupons and zero-coupon bonds, utilities, and U.S. stocks (after the correction, of course). Given Alan Greenspan's maniacal focus on fighting inflation, it might be difficult to swallow Shilling's deflationary forecast. Nevertheless, Shilling has done his homework, and it shows: he builds a case that's both convincing and easy to read. No one knows for sure what our economic future holds, but any open-minded investor would be prudent to hear Shilling out. --Harry C. Edwards
"You have to listen to Shilling, who is a consulting economist and columnist for Forbes. He was the first of the prominent U.S. economists to see the winding down of inflation...In 1973, he was almost alone in forecasting a deep, worldwide recession...In early 1988, he predicted that the 1990s in Japan would be like the 1930s in the United States--at the time, an astonishing forecast. It turned out to be right..."--Don Bauder, Financial Columnist, San Diego Union-Tribune.
"After tracking Gary Shilling for over a quarter century, I do not know of any economist who scored more bull's eyes on major turns in the economy--which ultimately affected the stock market. Ignore him if you will, and lament the ravages of deflation later."--Charles Allmon, President, Growth Stock Outlook.
"There are lots of economists making predictions these days about the future course of the global economy, but few are doing the research to get it right. With a clear sense of how the prospect of deflation is drmatically changing the economic environment for consumers, companies, and countries, Gary Shilling stresses the importance of growth."--Jerry Jasinowski, President, National Association of Manufacturers.

Injury Prevention
The sportsman must possess confidence in his or her bones, joints, ligaments, tendons and muscles. The grind of on your feet hunting for 12+ hours on a day-to-day basis can be a recipe for injury due to the repetitive movement and tissue tolerance threshold. The muscles that commonly receive the most use day in and day out are the ones susceptible to overuse injury. As a sportsman, you should be concerned with repetitive loading of the shoulder joint (capsule), lower back, hips and knees. To be appropriately prepared for this type of grueling activity, we must address the smaller muscles that stabilize and keep the body in constant alignment. With injury prevention component of our program the outdoorsmen can rest assure their stabilizer and neutralizer muscles function properly and remain durable. These are the muscles that primarily make up your hips and torso. Keeping these muscles durable means you decrease your injury potential and last longer in the outdoors!
Injuries common to any outdoor enthusiast include muscle strains, tendonitis, ligament sprains, and bursitis. Tendonitis is inflammation of the tendon, or the structure that connects muscle to bone. Muscle strains are tears in the muscle belly or tendon and are also known as pulled muscles. Ligament sprains are tears to a ligament. Bursitis is inflammation of the bursa, which is a flat fluid-filled sac. Bursas are located in places of the body affected by high amounts of movement, IE your knees and shoulders. Bursa aid in reduction of friction and enable the parts to slide and glide more freely. The outdoorsmen are susceptible to bursitis in the shoulder, elbow, hips, and the knees.
To stay healthy requires many types of fitness and specific skills. Pushing too hard before your body is ready will cause injury. Always use good body mechanics in and out of the field. When exercising try to maintain good posture and a neutral spine when you lift, run throw, jump, and run. Good technique doesn't hurt. Also, don't train intensely before your body is ready. The easiest way to get injured is to train too hard, too fast. Getting in shape gradually means allowing your body a chance to adapt to the rigors of training when attempting to build general fitness. You cannot force your body to increase strength, power, endurance and speed overnight. Take your time and let your body adapt at its own rate. The best tool for injury prevention in my opinion is developing a well rounded fitness portfolio. Structure your program so that some days you emphasize endurance and other days you emphasize strength and power. If you are interested in high-skill sports such as tennis or volleyball, structure your program so that fitness development does not interfere with your capacity to learn sports movements. Basically, be good at a lot of things, keep your fitness broad, and your work capacity high.
Injury prevention is basically your proactive approach to protecting yourself from injury. Core strength, which is comprised of hip, shoulder and core stability, is the foundation to efficient human movement and is critical to optimizing performance and health.
Floor T's
Objective: Improves shoulder stability, thus further strengthening your rotator cuffs. Also to improve scapular strength and muscle recruitment patterns.
Movement: Pull your shoulder blades in toward your spine and extend your arms to the sides to create a "T" with your torso. Keep your arms long and straight, 90 degrees to your torso. Your thumbs should be up and pointed toward the ceiling.
Glute Bridge (Both Legs & Single Leg)
Objective: To activate, develop, and improve the firing and muscle-recruitment patterns of the posterior chain ( hamstrings, glutes, and lower back).
Movement: With abs drawn in towards the floor, bridge your hips toward the ceiling by firing your glutes of the leg that is planted into the ground. Only your shoulders and heel of your foot remain on the ground. Maintain a strong hip contraction through the range of motion. Hold, then your lower your hips toward the floor without touching it and then repeat.

Tomorrow is the 50th anniversary of the death of President Kennedy. I, like all baby boomers have "owned" that day for all fifty years. We've reminisced about "where we were," talked of the rage and sorrow we felt toward Lee Harvey Oswald. The controversy rages over whether Oswald acted alone, (Warren Commission,) or in concert with others, (House Select Committee on Assassinations-1979.)
What you are about to hear is a speech given to (at this point,) an unknown audience regarding "secrecy" vs. openness in government. It's called "The Speech That Killed Kennedy." It's only about 5-minutes long, but leaves enough questions to keep us busy for another 50-years.

Why I Drink, Flip to Page 74, Choose Your Own Adventure Edition
By Steven Lloyd Wilson | Trade News | June 12, 2013 | Comments ()
Giving you exactly what you want, in the worst way possible. Sometimes it seems like Hollywood is dedicated to that principle above all else, including profit motive. Nothing else can explain to me why Fox just acquired the rights to the Choose Your Own Adventure series of books.
Oh we say, what we really want are more movies based on books. And Fox then set out on a heroic journey to find the books that they could most ironically acquire the rights to. I guess Universal beat them to 50 Shades of Grey, but it must have been close. At least that has a demonstrated market. One filled with people I don't want to acknowledge exist, who I imagine TK will spend a lot of time with at a midnight showing when he inevitably reviews it.
But Choose Your Own Adventure? You know what a film version of a book looks like where you pick what happens next? We call those video games. Congratulations Fox, you just paid somebody to be allowed to make a video game. I also have a rock I'd like to sell you. It keeps lions away for the low price of one billion dollars.
Fox has excitedly proclaimed that the series will be: "a cross-platform four-quadrant action adventure franchise".
If I was a physician, if a coma patient uttered that sentence, I would consider it medical evidence of brain death and recommend that the family pull the plug. As it is, it's the gleeful press release of one of the largest entertainment companies in the world. So rather than wasting more words, I'm just going to go back to my garage and keep building that atomic weapon.
You would not believe how many relatively common items clogging landfills by the thousands contain minute quantities of radioactive material. Maybe I should sell Fox the movie rights to that fact.

Bourdeilles Holiday Homes & Rentals(5)
Didn't find what you're looking for?
View all 441 Perigord Vert Holiday homes or all 3581 Dordogne Holiday accommodation & villas
Bourdeilles is a wonderfully sleepy little village in the backcountry of Perigord Vert in the Dordogne. Nestled around an ancient chateau on a rock outcrop above the River Dronne, Bourdeilles is best reached by canoe, although if you are arriving for the first time with all your bags, a hire car is probably more use! Whatever you decide to do from your Bourdeilles holiday rental, you will find it very hard to leave, as it is impossible not to completely relax and let it all go when you stay in Bourdeilles.
The Bourdeilles Chateau is a remarkable attraction. Open daily, the chateau is actually two distinct buildings, the 13th century fortress and a beautiful renaissance chateau, which now houses a wonderful collection of antique furniture, with important pieces from across Europe and throughout the ages. The climb to the top of the octagonal keep is hard work, but the views from the top provide instant reward for your efforts. Guided tours are available during the summer months.
Bourdeilles is a fantastic town for sport. There are tennis courts and riding stables available for the public, and there are some beautiful bridle paths to take, especially those that run along the lush banks of the river. Canoeing along the river is particularly special, and there can be no activity as relaxing as gently paddling along the river channel, watching the abundant wildlife and seeing the dramatic chateau and impressive castles from an entirely unique point of view. Walkers will also be thrilled with the range of routes available from a holiday rental villa in Bourdeilles, as you can enjoy everything from a casual after dinner stroll to a full day hike.
There is a wonderfully rich gastronomy in the Bourdeilles area. The famous vineyards of Bergerac are close by, providing the perfect accompaniment to the hearty local cuisine, as well as some excellent vineyard tours and wine tasting experiences. Those wishing to learn to cook Dordogne cuisine are well catered for too, as there are a great range of courses available in the area, and the weekly markets in Brantome and Perigueux provide all the fresh ingredients you may require.
The town of Perigueux is just 15km from a holiday rental property in Bourdeilles, home to much of the most impressive art and finest historic artefact collections in the Dordogne. The museums of Perigueux, especially the Gallo-Roman Museum, are absolutely fantastic, and the golf course is absolutely fantastic.
Whatever time of year you wish to escape to a Bourdeilles gite, the weather will certainly not stop you. Spring and autumn are magnificent times to visit, as you will have much of the area to yourself, and the harvests are just coming in, giving you the best of local food. During the summer months, temperatures hover around 26˚C most days, perfect for canoeing, walking and riding holidays.
Bergerac International Airport (EGC) is just 50km from a self catering Bourdeilles villa. There are a surprising number of direct flights arriving from the UK on a daily basis, with Ryanair and Flybe services arriving from airports throughout the UK, both big and small.

First Majestic Silver Corp.
Consider This Silver Miner That Trades At A Discount To Book
By Vladimir Zernov - August 19, 2013 | Tickers: CDE, EXK, AG
Precious metals have been under pressure this year, and silver is not an exception. The weakness of global economy and uncertainty about Chinese growth have sent silver from $30 at the beginning of the year to under $20 in July. Since then, the prices have shown positive dynamics. The silver mining stocks have been punished even more than the metal itself. Now that the price environment has seen some changes more »
Why You Should Invest in Silver over Gold
By Chris Johnson - August 9, 2013 | Tickers: AG, PAAS, SLW
On Monday, gold futures fell for the fifth straight session, capping the longest slump since May, as a stronger dollar crimped demand for the precious metal. For many, this comes as no surprise. Gold gets all of the press, but what about silver? Silver is not going to remain gold's ugly little brother for much longer.
The last decade was the decade of gold. But it's my more »

Silver Companies Ready to Launch
By Usman Ghani - July 29, 2013 | Tickers: AG, PAAS, SLW
We know the age old rule, right? When the U.S. dollar strengthens, the value of precious metals falls, and when it weakens, we see a surge in the price of these metals. Well, there are other factors too which influence the price of these precious metals.
One of them is the demand for precious metals coming from the two upcoming giants: India and China. The demand for these precious more »

Time for a Turnaround in Precious Metals?
By Jacob Wolinsky - July 16, 2013 | Tickers: AGI, AUQ, AG
After losing tremendous weight in recent months, gold and silver stocks are looking leaner and fit for a rally.

Time to Look at This Beaten Silver Miner
By Vladimir Zernov - July 12, 2013 | Tickers: CDE, AG, PAAS
This year has been a bad one to invest in silver miners. The stocks just kept on falling, following the drop in silver prices. The precious metal seems to have ignored all the positive news while concentrating on the negatives. The last big sell-off in silver was inspired by June's Chinese manufacturing PMI, which has fallen to a nine-month low of 48.3. As a result, some silver stocks more »

3 Stocks for a Silver-Studded Portfolio
By Michael Ugulini - March 11, 2013 | Tickers: CDE, AG, SSRI
"Too many people miss the silver lining because they're expecting gold."
-Maurice Setter
Silver often plays a secondary role to its more illuminating sibling – gold – in the precious metals family. However, the potential for returns for investors exists with companies aggressively advancing their silver programs in diverse regions of the globe. The following are some silver expectations to examine from three enterprises operating in this industry:

Is Silver in Mint Condition?
By Michael Ugulini - February 22, 2013 | Tickers: AG, PAAS, SLW
Every cloud has its silver lining, but it is sometimes a little difficult to get it to the mint.

Is Silver The Next Big Thing?
By Pierre De Vitton - December 17, 2012 | Tickers: AG, PAAS, SLW
I don't know about you but I'm getting tired of gold. Gold gets all the good press and everybody loves to talk about how great gold is (everybody except for Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger). Do the test: choose ten people around you at random with some knowledge of financial matters and ask them what the price of gold is at the moment. I would bet that most more »
Demystifying Silver
By Douglas Ehrman - November 2, 2012 | Tickers: AG, SLW
One of the biggest challenges faced by investors when considering silver companies is the reality that looking at earnings consistency and other common metrics can be seriously misleading. Over the past several years, silver prices have ranged from below $25 per ounce to over $50. What this means for these metrics is that the variability in earnings is likely to be dramatic and not a good forward-looking indicator of where more »
Big Upside in This Silver Mine
By Piyush Arora - October 30, 2012 | Tickers: CDE, AG, FSM, SLW, SVM
Many investors prefer to not invest directly in silver because the commodity's volatility is too high. It is due to this reason that investors are more willing to invest in silver mining companies like First Majestic Silver Corp (NYSE: AG). Unlike silver streaming companies, the silver mining business model is not highly leveraged. Even if silver prices consolidate at inflated levels, the company would make profits.

By Piyush Arora - September 7, 2012 | Tickers: CDE, AG, SLV, SLW
Whenever investors see a problem in Europe, they rush to precious metals like Gold and Silver. The prices of both the commodities are sentiment driven and have risen significantly over the past two years, but in the current year, we haven't seen any fireworks. The reason could be because 2012 has been a less dramatic year, which has kept the prices in range, and commodity investors would not be more »

By Meena Krishnamsetty - August 24, 2012 | Tickers: ABX, CDE, AG, GG, SLW
Gold and gold miners get a good deal of attention from investors who want to invest in precious metals, but what about silver? Over the last two years Silver Wheaton (NYSE: SLW) has returned 55% against about 30% for the SPDR Gold ETF (GLD) and a decline in the Gold Miners' ETF (GDX) which tracks gold mining companies. Over the last five years the silver miner has nearly tripled, narrowly more »

SPDR's Gold Shares (NYSEMKT: GLD) has been offered to traders as a means of trading physical gold without taking delivery. The idea of being able to trade commodities like stocks is a day-trader's dream. However, does it pass the comparison test on all levels?

By Jade Bulecza - bio | email QUITMAN, GA (WALB) –Brooks County brings in millions of dollars in tourism of each year and with a tourism plan some people hope they'll bring in even more.
The Georgia Department of Economic Development provided a tourism strategy for the county and Tuesday night they revealed the results.
Historic buildings and landmarks line the streets of Quitman and that's just a glimpse of the tourism Brooks County has.
"We love the agriculture here of course, the peaches with it being peach season. Brooks County is not only known for their hams historically, but their peaches as well," said Bruce Green, Director of Tourism Development with the Georgia Department of Economic Development.
The Georgia Department of Economic Development is helping Brooks County develop a tourism strategy. They put together a tourism resource team who explored the county and Tuesday night an 18-month plan will be presented.
"It was a gift and we're really the test project in Georgia for the first study of it's kind," said Janie Jones, the Leadership Brooks Facilitator.
The first goal for the county is to establish a vision. They also recommend embracing the camelias.
"Quitman was the home of Betty Sheffield and if anybody knows anything about camelias in America Betty Sheffield is a well known name," said Green.
He says people are already talking about a series of flower festivals since Quitman lies between the Rose City and the Azalea City.
Following through with this tourism strategy will take some work.
"It's going to take identification, unification and vision," said Green. "It's going to take leadership at the local level and of course resources."
"Brooks County brings in about $8.2 million in tourism per year," said Jones. "We'd really like to at least double that."
The Leadership Class of 2009 sponsored this new initiative for Brooks County. They want others to see the hidden treasures the county has to share in agritourism, heritage, and cultural tourism.

Hello again. I'm still here.
This one's a prequel to Spoilsbury Toast Boy and I guess it should make the first one (actually the last one) more understandable. This series goes in reverse order (a bit like Memento)and I've subtitled some parts as some of the voices are a bit hard to understand. I hope you like it.

Next, you'll be asked to connect with Twitter. Rest assured, we will never send a tweet from your account without your permission.
Bars, books, cafes, libraries, squares. Some things are close to perfect as they are, and need no "innovation".
living a worthwhile life is like being the author of your own great book. Hint: it's not easy, and there are no guarantees.
LOL. So there's my little manifesto. All I really wanted to do was tweet twice about books :)
.@Anish_Dave Yes, books will succumb to the "laws of economics". Those laws aren't laws. They're fake. We shouldn't let them rule our lives.
We have this tendency in our culture to accept poor substitutes for the real thing. Let's not do it to books.
So just because a string of text in a plastic box is called "an eBook", doesn't mean it has much in common with...a book.
Books aren't just there to dully consume. They're there to inspire, challenge, infuriate, and free us. eBooks don't do this well.
Furthermore, when I see a stack of books I've read, I remember and connect the ideas in different ways. Doesn't happen with eBooks.
When I read a real book, I flip back and forth, I connect ideas, I dogear, I (literally) feel. eBooks make all this harder.
The form, the investment, the performance, and the experience. RT @halfbyte: @umairh So what, for you, makes a book a book then?
The best thing my Dad ever did for me was, one day, to rip a schlocky kids' book out of my hands, and make me read Dickens.
My point isn't that ebooks don't have a place. But just because they're called "ebooks". doesn't make them a replacement for...books.
There are literally thousands of great books, and you're telling me your kids can only read "Twilight"? #LOL #comeon
False choice. RT @lucasjosh: @umairh I'd rather my daughter a few books from there than not read at all.
We can keep the books discussion going forever, but my take's pretty simple. When real books die, so does civilization as we know it.
RT @OrwellUpgraded: @flamsmark @umairh In Soviet Russia ebooks read you. I want to read books, not have them read me. Paper does this well.
.@flamsmark If all you want from books is "convenience" and "enjoyment", then I suggest you might have missed the point of books.
We had a raging and fascinating discussion about books last night. Check my timeline if you're cool.
Rather than "innovating" books, I'd simply we found better ways to give more people access to more, better...books.
.@chroma Sure, I have a fetish for books. Every thinking human should.

Adventures in cooking: Baked goat cheese in marinara with a garlic french baguette
For the toasted bread we cut a french baguette in half, painted on a melted mixture of butter and minced garlic and then baked it at 350 for 20 mins.
For the baked goat cheese we just poured in a can of marinara, plopped the goat cheese on top, sprinkled with a mix of pepper and oregano and baked it at 400 for 15 mins. Easiest recipe ever! I would try it with pesto, too.
Serves 4
Preheat oven to 400F.
Roll out puff pastry sheet on lightly floured surface. Place brie in center, and fold pastry around it, sealing seams. Transfer to baking sheet, seam side up. Brush pastry with egg glaze. (Can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
Bake brie until pastry is golden, 18-25 minutes.
Combine butter, honey, and garlic in small saucepan over low heat. Stir until butter melts. Place sauce on a plate.
Sprinkle sauce with walnuts and parsley. Place pastry wrapped brie atop sauce on plate and serve with assorted crackers.

Movie: Like Crazy (2011)
Starring: Anton Yelchin, Felicity Jones, Jennifer Lawrence, Alex Kingston
Synopsis: Anna is a British exchange student going to college in Los Angeles. She meets fellow student Jacob and the fall in love. After they graduate, Anna decides to stay in LA and spend the summer with Jacob, rather than return to England. However, she is unaware that her student visa expired at graduation and that overstaying a carries stiff penalties. At the end of the summer, Anna returns to England for a family engagement. However, when she tries to go back to LA she is denied entry to the US for her violation of the terms of her visa, and sent back to England. In England, Anna gets a job and she and her parents hire a lawyer to work on getting the ban lifted. Meanwhile, Jacob is working at his successful design business based in LA- it's not something he can easily leave to move to England. They try to do the long distance thing, but the relationship grows strained so they try to put aside their feelings for each other and move on. However they aren't able to find in other people what they've found with each other. So they decide to marry, hoping that being married to a US citizen will help get Anna back by Jacob's side sooner. But things still aren't that easy for them…
My Thoughts: I don't want to give away any spoilers, but I will say that the end of this film is rather ambiguous regarding Anna and Jacob's future together. I know a lot of people seemed to feel it hinted at an ultimately unhappy ending. But I thought that it was more optimistic than others seemed to think. We see Anna and Jacob's relationship undergo several phases: the initial attraction and passion in the beginning which is sustained somewhat by the separation and the brief reunions. But we also see them argue, we see them split up and reunite. By the end of the film the characters are more mature than they were at the beginning and so is the relationship. No relationship is static All move through phases. At the end we see that Jacob and Anna are moving into another phase in their relationship. No one knows what it will bring because the film ends. It may not be the same as it was early on. But different isn't always bad. Sometimes it's just different! I know that the film was loosely based on an experience the filmmaker had in his own life. But the film is still fiction. It exists independent of the filmmaker's experiences. Why? Because film is by nature a collaborative art. If the director wanted to tell his own experience as it truly happened he would've written a memoir. A film involves many actors who each have their own interpretations of the characters and events. It also involves an editor who takes the raw footage and shapes it into the film we eventually see, a music/soundtrack supervisor who sets the tone for the film musically, etc. It's not just one person's vision.
I think that what this film does is depict a young, long distance, romance in a very realistic way. It would have been fairly easy to "Hollywoodize" this story. You probably would've ended up with something similar to Going the Distance. But this film went for a more authentic tone.
Yup I watched this movie a few days ago and it's amazing!!!
