RBA Seen Cutting Rates to Lowest in 53 Years: Australia Credit
Australia's central bank will reduce its benchmark interest rate to the lowest in the body's 53-year history, according to credit markets that more accurately picked yesterday's cut than economists.
Traders are pricing in an 80 percent chance the overnight cash-rate target will be 2.75 percent or less by Feb. 5, swaps data compiled by Bloomberg show. Governor Glenn Stevens and his board lowered the rate 0.25 percentage point to 3.25 percent yesterday, a decision predicted by nine of 28 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg News. Australia's record-low benchmark was the 2.89 percent set in January 1960, RBA figures show.
Stevens said Australia's record mining boom will peak at a lower level than expected, as he joined peers from Europe to the U.S. seeking to boost growth. That marked a reversal from June, when he said "cheerleading" was needed to rebut pessimists. The nation's benchmark yields are 2.93 percent, almost double the average for top-rated peers, and Australia's dollar gained 7.3 percent over the past year even as prices plunged 39 percent for iron ore, the nation's biggest export.
"This was the first time the RBA has acknowledged the need to provide stimulus as the mining investment boom begins to fade," said Adam Donaldson, head of debt research in Sydney at Commonwealth Bank of Australia, the nation's largest lender. "We'll end up seeing multiple rate cuts that may take the benchmark to about 2.5 percent in the next year or so."
Glass Half Full?
Stevens, in a June 8 speech titled "The Glass Half Full" expressed optimism about the nation's economy and cautioned against monetary policy settings that could reignite asset bubbles. Responding to audience questions, Stevens said he felt the need to do some "cheerleading" for the economy in response to negative commentary on the nation's prospects and weak consumer and business confidence.
Since then tumbling commodity prices have spurred miners including BHP Billiton Ltd., Xstrata Plc and Fortescue Metals Group Ltd. to delay some of the projects in a resources development pipeline the Australian government estimated in June at A$500 billion ($511 billion). At the same time, companies from Bluescope Steel Ltd. to surfwear maker Billabong International Ltd. and the local unit of Ford Motor Co. have been struggling to cope with the local dollar's strength.
November Outlook
Stevens will probably cut interest rates again next month, according to economists surveyed by Bloomberg after yesterday's reduction, in what would be his seventh-straight move on the day of the Melbourne Cup, Australia's richest horse race.
The RBA will lower the overnight cash rate target by a quarter percentage point to 3 percent on Nov. 6, according to 12 of 21 economists polled, unwinding all of the 1.75 percentage points of increases Stevens made in the wake of the 2009 global financial crisis. The remainder expected no change. The median expectation is that the rate will stay at that level, matching the lowest benchmark since 1960.
Swaps are estimating a 75 percent chance of a rate cut for next month, and see a 65 percent chance Stevens will cut the benchmark to 2.5 percent or lower by March. The contracts accurately predicted yesterday's move, pricing in a 77 percent chance of a reduction.
Yield Gap
The extra yield 10-year Australian government bonds offer over similar-dated Treasuries shrank today to a three-month low of 132 basis points as investors downgraded prospects for the developed world's fastest-growing economy. Prices for Australia's commodity exports plunged 19 percent over the year ending Sept. 30 in local-dollar terms, according to an RBA index published yesterday.
The rate on Australian 10-year notes has dropped 142 basis points since reaching its 2012 peak of 4.35 percent on March 20, as Europe headed toward recession and output slowed in China, the South Pacific nation's biggest export market. The Aussie dollar, the world's fifth-most traded currency, came within 2 U.S. cents of falling below parity last month as prices for iron ore, the nation's biggest overseas shipment, dropped to the lowest since 2009.
The Australian currency was at $1.0223 at 12:51 p.m. in Sydney, after earlier touching an almost one-month low of $1.0221. It was still more than 35 percent above its average level since exchange-rate controls were scrapped in 1983.
Weaker Economy
Over the past month, government data indicated a weaker economy: growth slowed in the second quarter to 0.6 percent from 1.4 percent in the first three months of the year; employers unexpectedly cut payrolls in August; the nation recorded a wider-than-expected trade deficit in August; and business confidence declined.
Australia recorded a A$2.03 billion trade shortfall, the widest since March 2008, as coal exports dropped, the statistics bureau said today in Sydney. The median estimate in a Bloomberg News survey of 22 economists was for a A$685 million gap.
BHP Billiton said last month it will stop production at a coking coal mine in Queensland state after delaying a $33 billion copper-uranium-gold project in South Australia in August.
Adding to concern that demand for exports will slow is weakening economic data in China, its biggest trading partner. A quarter of Australia's exports, making up about 5 percent of gross domestic product, goes to China, and 60 percent of those shipments are iron ore. Manufacturing in the Asian nation contracted for a second consecutive month for the first time since 2009, a government survey indicated Oct. 1.
China Manufacturing
"The peak in resource investment is likely to occur next year," Stevens said in a statement yesterday. "As this peak approaches it will be important that the forecast strengthening in some other components of demand starts to occur."
The Markit iTraxx Australia index of credit-default swaps that gauges perceptions of corporate bond risk was little changed at 157.44 basis points today in Sydney, according to Markit Group Ltd.
The extra yield investors demand to hold company notes instead of Australian government bonds was at 202 yesterday, Bank of America Merrill Lynch indexes show. It touched 192 on Sept. 24, the lowest level in more than a year, according to the data.
Australia's 10-year yield still offers 140 basis points more than the average benchmark sovereign yield for its top-rated peers. The country is one of 11 sovereign markets worldwide that hold the top grades from all three of the main credit-rating companies.
Inflation Low
"The global backdrop, the fact that inflation is low and the exchange rate is higher has allowed them to make policy a little more accommodative," Peter Jolly, Sydney-based head of market research for National Australia Bank Ltd., said in reference to the RBA. "I don't think we're starting a big series of rate cuts. The economy is nowhere weak enough to justify that," said Jolly, who predicts the cash rate will be at 3 percent by early next year.
Growth in Australia will probably be at a 3.6 percent pace this year, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg News survey of economists. The rate of expansion in the U.S., where the Fed committed last month to unprecedented bond purchases, will be 2.2 percent, a separate poll showed.
Even after yesterday's reduction, Australia's central bank has the most monetary firepower left among major developed economies. Benchmark rates are near zero in the U.S. and Japan, 0.5 percent in the U.K., 0.75 percent in the euro area, 1 percent in Canada and 2.5 percent in New Zealand.
Hideo Shimomura, who helps oversee the equivalent of $77.3 billion in Tokyo at Mitsubishi UFJ Asset Management Co., estimates the RBA rate will be at 3 percent by Dec. 31 and 2 percent in a year.
"They said inflation is in their target band, the currency is still too high and the situation in China is weaker," Shimomura said. "The conclusion is that there may be another rate cut in coming months."

Incyte ( INCY), which focuses on the discovery, development and commercialization of proprietary small molecule drugs to treat serious unmet medical needs, is trading up 5.2% at $19.17 in recent trading. Today's Volume: 1.56 million Average Volume: 1.35 million Volume % Change: 110% From a technical perspective, INCY is ripping higher here right above its 50-day moving average of $17.30 with above-average volume. This move is quickly pushing INCY within range of triggering a major breakout trade. That trade will hit if INCY takes out some key overhead resistance levels at $19.60 to $19.80 and then once it clears more resistance at $20 to $20.53 with high volume. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in INCY as long as it's trending above some near-term support at $18.14, and then once it sustains a move or close above those breakout levels with volume that hits near or above 1.35 million shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then INCY will set up to re-fill some its previous gap down zone from last August that started at around $26. Prev 1 of 5 Next

Asian Pacific American Heritage Month
Filipino American History Month, also known as the Filipino American Heritage Month, is celebrated in the United States during the month of October. The Filipino American National Historical Society established Filipino American History Month in the year 1988.[1][2] In California and Hawaii, where a large number of Filipino Americans reside,[3] Filipino American History Month is widely celebrated.[4] Many Filipino American organizations in these states often initiate their own independent celebrations.
This month is also officially recognized by the California Department of Education.[5] 2006 was a pivotal year as it marked the centennial celebration of Filipino migration to the United States.[6][7]
In California, Filipino American History Month was first recognized statewide in 2006, when the California Department of Education placed it on its celebrations calendar.[8] In 2009, California State Senator Leland Yee introduced a resolution, which was passed, that recognizes October as Filipino American History Month.[9] It passed the California State Assembly and was submitted to the California Secretary of State.[10][11]
In the 103rd Congress, a resolution to nationally recognize Filipino American History Month was introduced.[12] The House of the 111th Congress introduced a House Resolution 155 (H. RES. 155) to officially recognize this month for Filipinos.[13] In October 2009, the Senate of the 111th Congress passed a resolution recognizing Filipino American History Month.[14] In November 2009, Congress passed the resolution (H. RES. 780),[15] officially recognizing October as Filipino American History Month.[16]

In this critical examination of the state of the American electoral process, Matthew Streb analyzes the major debates that embroil scholars and reformers on subjects ranging from the number of elections we hold and the use of nonpartisan elections, to the presidential nominating process and campaign finance laws. Ultimately, Streb makes an argument for a less burdensome democracy, a democracy in which citizens can participate more easily. This book is designed to get students of elections and American political institutions to think critically about what it means to be democratic and how democratic the United States really is.

The Huskies trailed 21-7 heading into the fourth quarter but rallied for 20 unanswered points to take the lead with less than one minute remaining in the fourth quarter.
The Wolves earned the game winning score with a 34-yard hail mary as time expired in regulation. The extra point was the difference in sending the Huskys home disappointed.

Editor's Note
If there ever was a time to get smarter about philanthropy, this is it. Donations are down, endowments have been decimated, and state and local governments are slashing their budgets. And the number of those who need help are rising rapidly.
The Journal Report
See the complete Philanthropy report.
In that spirit, this report offers an assortment of ways all parties—donors, foundations and charities—are trying to do more in hard times. You'll read about individual donors, for instance, who are shutting private foundations and rolling the money into donor-advised funds. And about charities finding new opportunities in the downturn. And about philanthropies taking advantage of new public-private partnerships.
Most important, I encourage you to read Pablo Eisenberg's cover story about what ails charitable giving. It's an insightful and provocative look at how foundations can heal themselves—and fix charitable giving in the process. It is, in other words, a road map for getting smarter.

Winnipeg and DC are 1500 miles apart. The Capitals spanned that distance five times in the last two seasons, but thanks to the glory of realignment, that number will be just ONE in 2013-14.
Winnipeg is actually closer to LA than DC, but when the Atlanta Thrashers relocated in 2011, Winnipeg kept its spot in the Southeast Division because reasons. That sucked– not just for players, who endured long plane rides to the exotic and un-parked realm of Manitoba, but also for fans who had to wait until
10 PM later for the puck to drop in an interdivisional game. No more. In 2013-14, the Caps will have five 10 PM starts, and they're clustered together in two convenient trips to the Western Conference.
Winnipeg is no longer in the southeast, and all is right in the world. On behalf of the Association of American Geographers, I'd like to thank Gary Bettman for the sudden outbreak of cartographical sanity.

Seat belts can prevent death in about half of these accidents. If you know this and are still not wearing a safety belt,
Background information
Moving objects have momentum . Newton's First Law of Motion says that unless an outside force acts on an object, the object will continue to move at its present speed and direction.[1]
Automobiles consist of several objects, including the vehicle itself, the passengers inside and any other loose objects in the vehicle.[2]
Unless the objects inside the car are restrained they will continue moving at whatever speed the car is traveling even if the car is stopped by a crash.
Changing or stopping an object's momentum requires a force acting over a period of time. If momentum changes instantly, as in a car crash, the force is very, very great! If the momentum can be changed over a period of time, even a fraction of a second, much less force needs to be applied with less damage or injury.[3]
In a head-on collision, if a passenger flies into the dashboard of a car, their momentum is instantly stopped, and serious injury is often the result.[4]
If the passenger is restrained by a seat-belt, their momentum is reduced more gradually by the constant and smaller force of the belt acting over a longer period of time. Seat-belts can reduce the impact of a passenger to one-fifth of the impact suffered by the body of the car.
Seat Belts Affect on Force.....
Did you know that over 40,000 people die each year in car accidents?
Seat belts can prevent death in about half of these accidents. If you know this and are still not wearing a safety belt,
you may need to ask yourself why not. Imagine running as
fast as you can into a wall. You would most likely expect to get pretty well
injured. Do you think you could stop yourself if the wall suddenly softened up[5]
when you were two feet away from it? This is exactly the situation you face
when the front of your car hits something at about twenty miles an hour. The
car stops in the first tenth of a second, but you keep accelerating at the same
rate you were going in the car until something stops you, this could be the steering wheel, dashboard or the windshield, if you are not wearing [6]
your seat belt at
Fifteen miles an hour you would seriously hurt yourself and anyone in the car,
but a thirty miles an hour when you crash it would be four times as bad as if you would at fifteen miles an hour. Or
imagine the impact you would endure from falling three stories.
There are a lot of different factors that come into effect during a car crash.
There are tons of things to take into consideration when looking into a car

crash, but we'll be focusing on momentum, force, inertia, and how the seat belt
affects the passengers of a car crash. All of these factors are considered in
Newton's laws of motion. Newton's first law states that an object in motion
stay in motion (everything in the car not that's not attached to the vehicle.)
unless an equal and opposite force acts on it (This being the seat belt,
slowing the driver down.). A driver of a vehicle has many things against
him/her with this being said they need much more to make sure that they are
safe during a crash and/or an accident. One of the safety measures taken is the
use of the seat belt itself. The task of the seat belt is to stop you with the
car so that your stopping distance is greater than if you had no seat belt.
A crash which stops the car and driver must take away all its kinetic energy.
this shows that a longer stopping distance decreases the impact force. A large
amount of stretch in the seat belt will reduce the average impact force. The[7]
best help a driver has is his or her seat belt. Another important thing about
the safety of a seat belt is that it helps restrain the person in the seat.
Seat belts can reduce the impact of a passenger to about a fifth of the impact
suffered by the body of the car. If the seat belt does what it is made to do
then it would slow you down extremely as soon as the crash occurs. The more the
seat belt holds you back the less momentum you have after making contact in a
crash. With no seat belt to stop the driver with the car, the driver would fly
free until stopped suddenly by the impact on the steering column, windshield,
The stopping distance is about a fifth of that with a seat belt,
causing the average impact force to be about five times as great. The work done to stop the driver
is equal to the average impact force on the driver multiplied by the distance
traveled in stopping during the crash. A crash which stops the car and driver
must take away all the kinetic energy, and the work-energy principle The
change in the kinetic energy of an object is equal to the net work done on the object.[8]
For a straight-line collision, the net work done is equal to the average force
of impact times the distance traveled during the impact. Average impact force multiplied
by the distance traveled is equal to the change in kinetic energy then shows
that a shorter stopping distance increases the impact force. If the car was
going forty-five miles per hour everything inside the car is also going forty-five
miles per hour. This is due to the law of inertia or Newton's First law. Newton's
Law states that unless an outside force acts on the object, the object will
remain with its constant speed and direction.
In this case the object or objects in motion
are the car and the driver. The car is stopped by another car, its
breaks, a tree, etc. For the driver and/or passenger his/her stopping force
would be the force of the seat belt stopping the passenger from hitting the
windshield. Newton's
Three laws of Motion are all physical laws focusing on the
relationships between force,
velocity, mass and acceleration. Newton's Second law can be applied to
understand the effectiveness of wearing seat belts to prevent injury and death
during collisions. Newton's Second Law of Motion is the most powerful and
influential of Newton's three laws because of the equation provided and
quantitative calculations it encompasses, rather than laws that are just a
statement or idea. Newton's Second Law focuses on the relationship between
mass, acceleration and force of an object. This relationship is expressed by
the equation of force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration.
When applying Newton's Second Law of Motion...
to car accidents and the use of seat belts,
the net external force on apassenger's body
is the mass of the vehicle multiplied by the cars
acceleration. The proper use of a seat belt reduces
the external force of an accident and distributes the
initial inertia of the collision across the body. This is
good to have happen during the crash, because this
reduces the force felt by the driver when he or she is
in a high impact car crash and/or finder bender.
importance or seat belts:
Seat Belts are the best protection in a car accident.
Failure to wear a seat belt contributes to more fatalities than any other single traffic safety-related behavior. 63 percent of people killed are not wearing seat belts. Wearing a seat belt use is still the single most effective thing we can do to save lives and reduce injuries on America's roadways.
Data suggests that education alone is not doing the job with young people, especially males age of 16 to 25 the age group least likely to buckle up. They simply do not believe they will be injured or killed. Yet they are the nation's highest-risk drivers, with more drunk driving, more speeding, and more crashes. Seat belts are the most effective safety devices in vehicles today, estimated to save 9,500 lives each year. Yet only 68 percent of the motor vehicle occupants are buckled. In 1996, more than 60 percent of the occupants killed in fatal crashes were unrestrained.
If 90 percent of Americans buckle up, we will prevent more than 5,500 deaths and 132,000 injuries annually.
The cost of unbuckled drivers and passengers goes beyond those killed and the loss to their families.
The Lab:
During my lab experiment, I will be testing the
difference between car crashes with and without my safety belt and/or seat
belt. In doing so I will be able to tell how much safer you are with you seat
belt and how dangerous in can be without one. My hypothesis is that with the
seat belt I will slow down much quicker so that I feel a less intense crash or
displacement. Without I will most likely stop at the same time as the car and
suffer a high injury risk. With this being said, In the lab I will be lowering
the risk of injury by taking my car to a secluded street with my lab
assistants, camera, and lab notebook to record data, a stopwatch and ruler,
yard stick, or tape measure to measure distance needed to acquire the desired
speed to get accurate results and also to know how far I traveled before I
simulated a car crash or finder bender. To simulate a finder bender I will
travel at a speed of 35-45miles per hour, (this will be converted to Meters per
second for my calculations to be more accurate.) I will travel at this speed for a distance
of 50-60 yards, (this will become Meters.) ounce I have reached the end I will
slam on the breaks as fast as possible to represent what takes place during a
smaller scale crash.
During the lab I will have one of my lab
assistants record from both inside and outside. I will run the lab a desired
amount of times to get the best and most accurate results possible. In doing
this assures me that I will be getting the best and precise calculation to
assure the success of my lab and prove my thesis statement to be correct and/or
my hypothesis. In showing that newtons laws of motion are correctly used in
this experiment will prove to me to me that I have gotten closer to understanding
the things around me threw physics.
Planned Procedure
- select car to do lab in.
- take car to a empty street were you can drive without disturbance.
- step into car and secure your seat belt.
- turn your car on.
- accelerate the car up to 25 miles per hour for 10 seconds.
- step onto the break peddle as hard as possible to simulate a small car crash.
- record the time it takes your body to stop.
- do five more trials to make sure you have accurate information or data.
- do lab again, but do not wear seat belt, (remember to wear your helmet.) to see the difference in how long it takes your body to stop.
- in both situations remember to calculate the force the sat belt has on you.
- selected car for lab.
- selected street to run my test on.
- had me and another passenger sit in the vehicle.
- We then secured our seat belts.
- I drove the car at 25miles/hour.
- I drove at this speed for...
- Then to simulate a small car crash(finder bender) I slammed on the breaks.
- recorded data to see how long it took me to slow down.
- then we ran the same test again, this time we did not wear a seat belt.
- we recorded our data and looked at the difference in time it took for us to come to a stop or slow down.
- With the seat belt i found that i felt like i stopped slower and increased my time i had to increase my impact time so that the force i felt was reduced.
- without i nearly face planted into the windshield.
Pros and Cons
CONS: without seat belts
- In a head on collision, if a passenger flies into the windshield of a car, their momentum is instantly stopped , and the passenger will suffer from severe injuries. the reason for this is because the force exerted is stop over a very short period of time.
Example:Cars are designed with crumple zones so they may slow down over a longer period of time, which keeps the force smaller However, this safety feature alone will usually not prevent serious injury or death to the occupants of a car during an accident. The crumple zone only slows the car more gradually. The only way it slows the occupants more gradually is if they are attached to the car. Otherwise, the car may come to rest more slowly but the people come to rest immediately upon striking the already stopped interior of the car. Stopping in a small amount of time means the force must be very large. This video clip shows some very dramatic scenes of car crash tests with test dummies who are not wearing seat belts. Specifically look for cars crumpling and people stopping in very small amounts of time
PROS: with seat belt
- if the passenger is restrained by a seat belt, their momentum is reduced more gradually by the constant and smaller force of the belt acting over a longer period of time. seat belts can reduce the impact of a passenger to 1/5 of the impact suffered by the body of the car.
Example:Seat belts use two main ideas to protect passengers during a car accident. First, they slow the passenger down more slowly than the passenger running into steering wheel or dashboard. This keeps the force required to stop them smaller. It also prevents the person from contacting any of the glass windows in the car or continuing on to be stopped abruptly by the road, tree, or another automobile. The video clip above shows the role of the seat belt during an accident.

MUSIC; A Pilgrim's Progress, of Sorts
By ARIEL SWARTLEY
Published: January 2, 2000
LOS ANGELES— IT is a somewhat surreal experience at any time, the slow, almost noiseless ascent via electric tram from the Getty Center's mandatory off-street parking, up a long dry incline peppered with imported greenery, to the museum's isolated hillside perch. Even more so on a recent night, midway through the American segment of the World Festival of Sacred Music -- the first of five pan-ecumenic, multiethnic and ecosensitive celebrations planned under the aegis of the Dalai Lama to take place on consecutive continents in the coming millennial months. Behind us, vistas of city lights unfolded like star maps. High above, the museum's floodlit walls glowed celestially white against the blackness. I was reminded -- Hollywood, after all, lay just beyond the freeway -- of all those comedies, wishfully divine, in which heaven is accessed by up-to-the minute forms of transportation.
I was on my way up to hear Lila Downs, a singer whose repertory combines an almost documentarian approach to the multiple folk musics of her mother's homeland, Oaxaca, with a voice so vari-colored and many-octaved that it's difficult to imagine it as the product of a single larynx. But I might as easily have decided to attend a ''Sacred Dance for World Healing'' performed by Tibetan monks in a U.C.L.A. courtyard, or a program of chants to Southern Italy's Black Madonna.
Indeed, as defined by festival organizers, sacred music is a term elastic enough to include Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, protest songs from the international labor movement and an audience-created improvisational hum simulcast on the Internet. But if there was a theme to the offerings that for nine days sent a cross section of Angelenos ricocheting across their sprawling metropolis -- Encino to Long Beach, Glendale to Malibu -- like so many electrons in search of a nucleus, it was perhaps a faith that music's power to lift listeners out of themselves could likewise propel them into communion with one another.
And make no mistake: I yearned to be transported.
Like a goodly number of festivalgoers, I am of the age optimistically referred to as midlife. It's not been a Slough of Despond, exactly, but neither would I call it the Delectable Mountains, like those John Bunyan so rapturously envisioned three centuries ago (well, rapturously for a Calvinist) in ''The Pilgrim's Progress.'' More like a predawn stroll down a garden path of badly spaced and wobbly paving stones. Along with the inability to read a menu in any illumination less than 150 watts and a tendency to view every muscle pull as a harbinger of the final collapse, I have noticed with some apprehension a change in my musical tastes.
Given the choice of listening to Pygmy chants in pristine field recordings or sampled and decked out with beats, bass and ambient reverb, courtesy of Deep Forest, I find I vastly prefer the latter. In fact, if it weren't for Eric Mouquet's and Michel Sanchez's French-accented contribution to dance-floor ecstasy, I wouldn't know a Pygmy to hear one. Having been a defender in the past of lean asceticism -- both folk and punk -- I fear this subsidence into synthesis is the aural equivalent of elastic waists and jeans cut fuller in the thigh.
So it was with visions of redemption that I scanned the festival schedule. I was hoping to find music that would broaden my horizons without feeling too foreign, would move me without making me feel too manipulated, and under whose influence I and fellow concertgoers would leave off being an audience and become something closer to a congregation. And, oh yes, I wanted the moon.
Any doubts I might have had that I was asking too much were quickly put to rest by Nazir Jairazbhoy, emeritus professor of ethnomusicology at U.C.L.A. Introducing a program of flute and vocal works from Hindu and Islamic traditions, he noted that the issues central to all devotional music boil down to this: ''What is ecstasy and how is it achieved?'' I had, it seemed, put myself in the hands of experts.
Certainly Lakshmi Shankar was one: a small woman with a sturdy figure, shoulder-length wavy hair and a face gently kneaded by age. Perhaps best known to Westerners from the ''Gandhi'' soundtrack, she has been celebrated for decades in much of the world as a gracefully formidable interpreter of Hindustani and southwest Indian tradition. The language of her texts -- the most recent of which was written by a 16th-century female saint -- was incomprehensible to much of the audience. To my ears, accustomed to octaves marking the ends of Western scales like sturdy bookends, the classical Indian modes seem unpredictable, as if they had been subject to a different law of gravity. But Ms. Shankar's phrasing, like Edith Piaf's, is eloquent testimony to singing's power to separate meaning from language. With expressive movements of head and hand, she seemed bent on including listeners not only in the lively musical conversation she was having with the harmonium player, but in a centuries-long dialogue between worshiper and godhead.

Romney Backed in Republican Race by Tea-Party Favorite Rubio
U.S. Senator Marco Rubio of Florida endorsed Republican presidential front-runner Mitt Romney, saying it's time for the party to unite behind the candidate who has "earned" the nomination.
Rubio, 40, a first-term senator who is a favorite of Tea Party activists and is regarded as a top prospect to be the Republican vice-presidential running mate, announced his backing for the former Massachusetts governor on Fox News tonight.
"We have got to come together behind who I think has earned this nomination, and that's Mitt Romney," he said.
Rubio tonight called the strategy of former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum and former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich to pursue the nomination through a floor fight at the party's August convention "a recipe for disaster."
A series of elected officials, business leaders and party activists have announced their support of Romney during the past week, including former Florida Governor Jeb Bush. Romney is scheduled to receive the official endorsement tomorrow of former President George H.W. Bush, Jeb's father.
Former first lady Barbara Bush has also backed Romney, and recorded calls for voters voicing her support played before the March 6 primaries in Ohio and Vermont. Jeb's brother, former President George W. Bush, has yet to make an endorsement in the Republican race.

Delicious Boomie, just delicious, always looking for other ways to use greek sheep feta, so yummy. The dip was great, loads of flavor with a hint of heat, perfect. Made exactly as written. I also roasted my own sweet red pepper for a lovely burst of fresh flavor. Served with simple tostitos for a lovely afternoon snack. Thanks for sharing this treat.
This was really easy to whip up and once chilled to blend flavors was great. I went to my jar of roasted bells and they had expired, so I threw out the jar and made this without them. I halved the recipe, just blending with a fork, and served with celery sticks. Made for a great appetizer. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Mmmmm, what a creamy, thick and yummy dip! I really enjoyed the sweetness of the roasted bell pepper in combination with the salty feta cheese. The chives added a lovely touch of flavour, too. YUM, I will definitely make this again! I too left out the oil and roasted a bell pepper myself. THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing yet another easy to make and sure to please recipe with us, Boomie! Made and reviewed for Everyday Is A Holiday Tag Game June 2010.
Yummo! Because I used light sour cream as well I took on board JanuaryBride's advice and didn't add olive oil, however roasted a red pepper myself and rubbed with a grenerous quantity of olive oil before roasting to get some of extra flavour in. Really bursting with flavour, loved that hint of cayenne!
A nice feta dip! Very pretty in color. I used light sour cream and next time I will not add the oil since the light version of the sour cream was already runny enough. Served with pita chips and snap peas. Made for Hercules Kids Challenge for ZWT6, Team SSaSSy.

Pick & Fuck is actually two types of porn rolled into one. On the one hand, there are American girls like Haley Paige, Kelly Wells and Jackie Moore, who all get the standard interview before their standard one-on-one fuck scenes. These girls pretty much just go through the motions and moan when necessary.
On the other hand, Pick & Fuck also features two European girls in scenes that cut right to the chase. Jessica Popp gets it in the butt, while Miriam Mir gets d.p.'d.
Pick & Fuck has a split personality and it ought to pick between them.

I like it. good thing i dont have epilepsy hehe. good job
Very Addictive
The song is still repeating in my head and I love it. I love the graphics and the song is catchy as hell. The seizure enduced graphics made the flash really jump out at me and your unique humor kept me watching it over and over again. THe only problem was, at the end there was no replay button, so I had to keep right clicking and pressing play. Those graphics rival against some of the cartoons I see on television. The stlye was awesome and all of the graphics kicked many levels of ass. SOme graphics were anime, others 3d, others cartoonish, together, they made made one lovable flash. Not much interactivity or violence, but this flash is an instant classic. I am putting this into my favorites immediately! Some improvements, needs to be longer and have a replay button. Responses highly appreciated!
Grade: A
Nice long reviews are also highly appreciated.
;) So thankee!
(everyone see Cars, its awesome)
wow your nuts to think of all that stuff. I will now predict the final score using my amazing powers .... 3.89. Good job on the flash. I had to score you low on the humor because I never think anythings funny but I assume Other people will think its funny, but I dont.... but other people will.. I think
boJ dooG
OMG That was Great!!!
Holy Crap!!!! THAT was wierd.... But GREAT!!! Your my new god!!!
I think I saw one of your cartoons once and quite liked it.
It was the one with the plant on the table and then all sorts of crazy stuff occurs!
i usually hate this kinda random stuff, but the song and the movie just fitted so well! almost had an epilepsy attack, but t was worth it.
Good graphs, keep working >_<
