The 30-year-old defender, who joined the Hornets' Academy at the age of nine, made his first-team debut under then boss Gianluca Vialli in 2001.
Doyley has since gone on to make over 400 appearances for the Hertfordshire club, including 39 last season as Gianfranco Zola's side tasted defeat in the Championship play-off final at Wembley.
And the loyal Jamaica international has been rewarded for his impressive form last term with a fresh deal at Vicarage Road.
Zola told the club's official website: "I am delighted that Lloyd will be with us again at Watford next season as he is an excellent professional and he always works very hard.
"He showed last season that he is a very important player for us and I believe he has a big part to play next season."

Bridget Jones's Diary (2001)
My favorite Romantic Comedy
This film I only discovered fairly recently, and just absolutely fell in love with it. It sure seemed familiar and lo and behold then I read about the Pride and Prejudice connection and then it all made complete sense.
This is such a charming, lovely homage to Pride and Prejudice. The three lead characters are just perfect. It is funny, sweet at times, sad at others, and just wonderfully sexy and v. romantic (especially the last 1/4th of it).
Renee is so extraordinary as Bridget Jones, who would have ever thought she could play so believable a modern Brit woman so well. Her accent seems flawless to me. Hugh Grant is hilarious and a charming Lothario throughout. But Colin Firth is who really sold me on this film. His ability to play a guy that you start out not liking but drooling over by the end of the movie is sublime.
I am a big fan of the less is more style of acting that Mr. Firth puts forth in this film...much of his performance is in his eyes and his facial expressions. While Daniel (Mr. Grant's character) chatters on and on and tries to charm with his wit and words, Mark Darcy (Mr. Firth's character) just has a strong and rather silent presence along with an integrity of character that is revealed and he wins us over (as well as Bridget).
This movie has a lot going on outside of the wonderful romance as well. Contemporary events, gender inequities, social differences, work place decorum, fashion, self-image, sex, family, and friendship all come under the scrutiny of Bridget Jones and her diary.
This is a very good adaptation of a beloved novel. The tone, scene selection, dialogue and characters capture the essence of what fans of the book love about it. I cannot imagine it any better cast or written.
Moonlighting (1985)
Chemistry with a capital "C"
OK, turn to the dictionary under the word Chemistry....specifically couple chemistry. There you should find a picture of Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd as David Addison and Maddie Hayes from Moonlighting. This series is a seminal study of sexual chemistry among lead actors and flaunted sharp, sexy, witty writing to match. If you have never seen a single episode of this series, you need to, and be prepared for a real treat. If you start at the beginning and watch this totally wonderful flirty, feisty pair become business partners, then best friends and then so much more, you will find yourself falling in love with these two remarkable characters that head up the slightly dysfunctional Blue Moon Detective Agency. In the process you will flip over how fabulous Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd are in these two roles. I don't think either one of them has ever been better or at least more charming, and that includes movies, other series, guest stints etc.
Equally great is the screwball nature of the whole series, the overlapping rapid fire banter between the two; the convoluted madcap madness of the cases they get involved in; the eccentric, wacky co-workers and relatives; and most of all how well these two play the will they or won't they game. (Pssst! They do; boy do they ever do!)
There have been critics and feminist writers who accuse the series of having a sexist viewpoint and of demeaning the female lead. But I just don't see it. Both David and Maddie are shown to be equally flawed, equally vulnerable, and equally wonderful in their own wacky kind of way. But they are both compelling to watch--hilarious at times, emotionally involving, and smolderingly sexy--especially in their scenes together. Yes, he is a sexist at first and she is an ice queen--but watch them both evolve through the influence of the other. These are two fully developed, wholly created characters, and their relationship and reactions to each other seem as real as real gets.
The peak of this show is the third season when nearly every episode of that season hit a home run out of the park. Of special note, this is the season that brought to our living rooms the famous Taming of the Shrew parody (Atomic Shakespeare), the delightful story told through dance episode of Big Man on Mulberry Street, the Capraesque It's a Wonderful Job, and the riveting four part continuing story line involving the romantic triangle with Mark Harmon guest starring...the storyline that lead to the very very famous consummation scene between Maddie and David. It also had one of the very best season finale episodes (and one of the naughtiest) ever on TV, To Heiress Human.
There are also some very very good episodes early on in the first two seasons as well, one being the critically acclaimed and quite engaging black and white film noir send-off titled The Dream Sequence Always Rings Twice.
The fourth season followed the pregnancy of Maddie Hayes, written into the show following the real life pregnancy of star Cybill Shepherd. That season showed some wonderful dramatic acting by Mr. Willis and several unexpected plot twists following Maddie's return from Chicago where she had gone to make decisions about the direction of her life and her relationship with David.
The fifth season was mostly problematic with a few glimmers from time to time of what made the series so great. Following the departure at the beginning of the fifth season of the show's creative center, Exec Producer and Creator Glenn Gordon Caron, the series never quite recovered its magic from seasons 1-4.
Still when it comes right down to it, this was one of the most creative, original and totally involving TV series ever to grace the tube. And through it, I fell in love with both Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd and still follow both of their careers to this day.
I am so excited that this series is coming to DVD in May 2005 with the release of seasons 1 & 2. Now if they will just follow up with seasons 3, 4, & 5.
Without a Trace (2002)
Best New Series of 2002
I have to admit, I am a snob about TV. There is very little I watch on a regular basis. And I was not familiar with any of the cast here. But one Thursday night, I happened to catch this show, and I have been hooked ever since. Nothing else new this TV season has appealed to me quite like this show has.
It is intelligent, compelling and seems quite realistic. There is a great ensemble of actors here who are the regulars, and each week the missing person case is unique, filled with twists and turns, but also demonstrates the value of hard work, studying the details, and dedication in getting a job done well. I have learned a whole lot about investigative work, something I would have never thought interested me as much as it does on this show. God is in the details here and this show delivers in spades.
Moonlighting: Moonlighting (Pilot) (1985)
A witty, wacky, action-filled introduction to TV's hot couple of the 1980's
When I first watched this pilot episode back in 1985, I tuned in to see Cybill Shephard, and she was wonderful. But what I saw from then unknown Bruce Willis totally blew me away. He was incredible...an original. There was no one like him on tv at that time. The chemistry between the two was more than apparent from their first scenes together, and it kept me and millions of others coming back week after week to watch.
Wacky, witty and action-filled, this pilot gave a nice introduction to the characters and style of the show. Although several of the series episodes of Moonlighting were much better than this first movie, here we get a taste of the fast paced dialog and exciting banter between the two leads that was a hallmark of this great show.
Christy: Choices of the Heart (2001)
A wonderful conclusion to a compelling story--action, adventure, and romance, what more could you want!
At last the answer to the question millions who have read the book have wondered about for over thirty years--just who does Christy marry. This exciting adventure answers that question once and for all.
If you want action, including a life-threatening storm and flood complete with a river rescue, a beloved character trapped under a collapsed building, the lead character suffering from a near fatal fever, and passionate verbal and physical exchanges between Christy and her future husband, then this one is the one to watch.
The acting is the best in the three new Christy movies and Miss Smith gives a convincing performance as the lead character. This movie also contains Finlay-McLennan's as Dr. MacNeil at his absolute best...he has several pivotal scenes with Christy that will move you beyond belief. You will also enjoy both James Waterston as David Grantland and Jacob Witkin as Dr. Ferrand here as they set out on a trek through the storm to aid the others and in the process, you learn a great deal about these two fine men.
The wedding is also just what we had all hoped for for so many years, and it is beautiful, tearful and joyful at the same time.
Other supporting players give great performances--Olivia Kelly as Ruby Mae is a treat, and she adds the light comedy in a charming way. Dale Dickey as Opal McHone is fantastic...she gives a totally real, inspiring performance. And Mike Hickman as Bird's Eye Taylor has a really great moment in this film.
I can not recommend this film enough...especially for true "Christy" fans. There are some scenes here that will leave you breathless. This is also the most spiritual of the three movies and those who watch "Christy" for its religious and moral values will not be disappointed. Your whole family should enjoy this.
Christy (1994)
Enchanting, well-written adaptation of great book with incredible cast.
This classic American novel was beautifully turned into a movie and then a television series. This film has it all for charming family entertainment. Cute, perky Kellie Martin in the title role who has the most expressive eyes of any actress around. Tremendously talented actress Tyne Daly playing Christy's mentor, Alice Henderson. Perfectly cast and playing Dr. Neil MacNeill is Stewart Finlay-McLennan who steals nearly every scene he is in. And then the very attractive Randall Batinkoff that does a pretty good job as Reverand David Grantland. Also outstanding in the cast is Tess Harper as mountain woman Fairlight Spencer and Mike Hickman playing the moonshiner Birds-Eye Taylor. Between MacLennan, Hickman and Daly, it's a wonder any other performances get noticed. But nearly every scene is compelling.
Cute children, beautiful location scenery, moving spiritual themes, unforgettable characters, and a budding romance triangle, these are all found in this film that you will watch over and over.
Christy: The Movie (2000)
Wonderful, fun, and true to the book
If you like the novel Christy, then don't miss this true to the book continuation. Not only are the actors as if they stepped out of the pages of the book, but the story lines and scenery are as they should be in this heart-warming, family tale. Excellent, entertaining script about the idealistic young school teacher Christy (wonderfully played by Lauren Lee Smith) as she struggles to bring change and progress to a resistant backwoods community in 1912 Cutter Gap, Tennessee.
To complicate matters, there is also Christy's personal struggles as she faces a career crisis and a romantic dilemma over two men that seem to want some type of commitment from her that leave her uncertain and confused. Playing Christy's two love interests are Stewart Finlay-McLennan as Dr. Neil MacNeill and James Waterston as the Rev. David Grantland. Finlay-McLennan (who played MacNeill in the original series) is magical in this movie and his scenes here are without a doubt the best of a very good thing. And Waterston makes a likeable, earnest David Grantland.
Also on hand is Diane Ladd giving a strong performance as Miss Alice Henderson. How can you not like this warm, wonderful movie? It carries on the spiritual, uplifting, and family values tradition of Christy very, very well.

Kilowatt Gets $100 Million Citigroup Loan for Energy Efficiency
Kilowatt Financial LLC, a Minneapolis-based provider of solar-power leases, obtained a $100 million loan from Citigroup Inc. that it will use to finance energy-efficiency projects for U.S. homeowners.
Kilowatt will loan as much as $30,000 to individuals for home improvements including upgrades to windows, insulation and appliances, the company said today in a statement. Kilowatt and Citi plan to securitize the pool loans, most of which will run for 10 years to 12 years.
Kilowatt was formed in 2011 and has raised more than $120 million in equity backing, including contributions from from Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Tim Baker, a managing director, said in an interview.

Comic-Con Trailers: The Best of the Best, Ranked
Film, TV
Auctions | Todd McFarlane's original cover art for The Amazing Spider-Man #328 sold at auction Thursday for $657,250, shattering the record for a single piece of American comics art set last year by a splash page from The Dark Knight Returns #3 ($448,125). However, the price falls well short of the $1.6 million shell out last month for the original cover art for Tintin in America. A 9.8 graded copy of X-Men #1 was also sold by Heritage Auctions for $492,937.50, more than twice the previous record for that comic. [ICv2]
Publishing | Lily Rothman takes a look at iVerse's newly announced comics-only crowdfunding platform Comics Accelerator, which will allow immediate delivery of digital rewards in a more sophisticated format than an e-mailed PDF and cap its share of the take at $2,500. As Laura Morley of Womanthology points out, it can go both ways: Being on Kickstarter, a trusted platform with wide visibility, helped boost the project, but on the other hand, "Any site that's able to take advantage of the fact that comics online already work as a big community, as a place where people talk to their friends and promote things they're interested in, is likely to do well."

I really want a Maneet love angle, and yes I haven't forgotten the Taveez, it's defo Maan who's her life partner lekin Who's going to be first and how will it happen? I know this may sound a little impatient on my behalf but this needs to be cleared asap! What do you think might happen?

ur rite, im very worried geet mite not fall in love with maan but the cvs know that dev and geet milan would totally wreck geet because dev is...ermm cant say my feelings in this forum i really really hope they dont strech out maan only liking geet..geet should start liking him too! i hope that geet starts falling for maan, but feels hesitant bc of her past with dev. and maan of course is already falling in love with geet. then geet should disclose everything about her past to maan (in my vision its like pinky's wedding to adi and geet and maan are in a seperate corner outside. geet tells maan about her past and he falls more in love with her). maan tells geet he will always love geet no matter what and then they get engaged (mayb spur of the moment thing). geet finally meets dev and maan supports her to kick his ass!! phew..sorry i had really thought about this
as for the family, i hope they clear up the misunderstandings/raaz soon bc i want to know if im going to like vicky or not

"Grodno - Great City In The Russian Shadow" Top 5 Page for this destination Hrodna by bdro
Hrodna Travel Guide: 113 reviews and 275 photos
I never had imagined that I should visit Belarus. Fisrt time was in April 2007. The language is very difficult for western people, not to say it's "Russian" for us :-). Very few people in Grodno understand foreign languages like English and German. And you can not read and guess what it means.
When you walk in the main street of a European city, you have a lot of windows. The shops fight to get customers. In Grodno you can take a nice walk, look at the signs in Russian ? you don?t understand anything ? there is no shopping windows. You don?t know if it?s a shop with shoes or a butcher shop. Only when you open the door. You see a wonderful shop, with lot of nice things. But the shops don?t do anything for promoting themselves.
Therefore, how can you get on in this country. It's possible to hire a tourist guide for a few days - no problem, but I am in a privileged position. My wife speaks Russian!!!
So thanks to her we visit the city, Grodno and it was a positive experience. We had good conversation with many people and I want to tell you about that later.
OK - now we have been in Grodno two times. Again in Three weeks in July 2007. I begin to understand a small part of Cyrillic lettes and it does everything a little bit more easy. Belarus is a nice country. I just can't understand the political position. Why do Belarus still in 2007 not open their country for foreign people? Why don't they want to trade active with the rest of the world? Why don't they want to normalies their friendship to the rest of the world? Why keep people and bind?
I love this country - but I really don't understand the politic. I am a normal businessman and this is too much soviet style for me.
But maybe one day the country will be more open.
Grodno is a very clean and beautiful city.
Much more clean than many European cities. But of course if you take a closer look - it's clean and nice - but it's a city with huge differences between rich and poor people - between new and old and run-downed buildings.
People from Europe (the western world) must experience this greatness you feel in Grodno. To take a look at the these fantastic old buildings. You must feel the atmosphere in this city, the marketplaces, the many great restaurants with good Belarusian food.
You must see and feel with the poor people from the countryside coming to city to sell a few eggs, a bundle of parsley, a few horseradish root, their homemade socks for children etc. (I will write about this another time).

Hi, I have this problem here, a few days my dashboard showed me that there was an incoming link via technorati or something.
A that moment I could only see the incoming link part of my dashboard. But the rest of the page was blank.
Now, a few days later my entire dashboard page is blank.
But I can see the rest of the admin part of my site.
What can I do to get the dashboard page back?
Thank you very much in advance!

Looks like yesterdays run-up was more of a short-covering rally than anything else. I suspected as much given that it occurred on relatively normal volume.
From Kitco's Jim Wyckoff this morning:
"Comex gold futures prices are trading moderately lower and nearer the daily low in late-morning dealings Thursday. The U.S. dollar index rallied in the wake of a better-than-expected U.S. weekly jobless claims report, which in turn put some added downside price pressure on gold. Gold prices remain trapped below a four-week-old downtrend line on the daily bar chart."
From Kitco's Pete Hug:
"I'm skeptical on the strength of this market however. I don't see a lot of conviction to take these prices higher." Watch video for more info
From The Indian Express (25-SEP):
"Gold, silver prices extended losses for the fourth-straight session here today on slackened demand amid a weak global trend. While gold fell further by Rs 25 to Rs 30,225 per ten gram, silver lost Rs 85 to Rs 48,940 per kg on lack of buying support from jewellers and industrial units. Traders said sluggish demand due to ongoing "Sharads", an inauspicious fortnight in Hindu mythology to make fresh purchases, mainly kept the precious metals lower."
From CommodityOnline. Came across this old article (FEB-2011) explaining gold / silver ratio, interesting reading just google "Gold-Silver Ratio: Silver value highest in five years" More recent article with detailed charts from Hubert Moolman "Silver Price Forecast: Gold/Silver Ratio Signals Much Higher Silver Prices". Google Moolman & title of article. I'm not very knowledgeable on the Au/Ag ratio & not sure about its accuracy as a trend / price prediction tool. Maybe someone familiar with this could comment.

MERCK SUED: HomeAgain® PET CHIP IMPLICATED IN CANCER
New website, ChipMeNot.com, features details on cancer case and other adverse reactions
Nashua, NH (CASPIAN) October 13, 2010
Pharmaceutical giant Merck & Co. has been served with a lawsuit over claims its HomeAgain® pet microchip induced cancer in a cat. Animal rights attorney Steven Wise seeks "reasonable compensatory damages" for a malignant tumor "likely" induced by a HomeAgain® ID chip implanted in his client's cat, Bulkin.
The complaint, "Andrea Rutherford v. Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp. and Digital Angel, Inc.,"(case # 1052CV1147) was filed last week in Cambridge (MA) District Court. The complaint named implant maker Digital Angel Corporation as a co-defendant.
"Based on the alarming number of microchip-linked cancers we're discovering, I predict this lawsuit will be just the tip of the iceberg," said Dr. Katherine Albrecht, a consumer advocate and expert on adverse reactions associated with implantable microchips.
Bulkin's case is featured at www.ChipMeNot.com, a new website launched by Albrecht's consumer group CASPIAN to bring attention to the plight of animals who have developed cancer and other adverse reactions from ID microchips. Albrecht documents several of these cases in "Microchip-Induced Tumors in Laboratory Rodents and Dogs: A Review of the Literature 19902006," a peer-reviewed academic paper she presented at a June conference of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers devoted to concerns about implantable microchips.

The USA rules when it comes to lawyers!
Did Timothy James McVeigh ever sue the Army for the microchip he claimed they implanted in his but-tocks?
Seriously, there might be something to this. I know microchips get soaked in some extremely nasty solvents when the circuit boards go through the etching process.
MERCK SUED: HomeAgain® PET CHIP IMPLICATED IN CANCER FOUND IN CHIPMUNKS
Consider this, if by some wild stretch of reality the RFID tag field in the pet chip is responsible, we'd all be dead already from the RFID tags all around us.
By then there wont be any government.
They are already adding mercury and other molecules that cause cancer and infertility. The FDA changed its definition for what constitutes "safe" vax. Thats why i'm never getting vaxed and I will never vax my kids.
We can hope this lawsuit will prompt more action against gov. chipping making it impossible for the gov. to chip.
I volunteer 'Thundersleeps' as the first human guinea pig for chip implant.
Too late, there are already people that have done it.
Believe it. I had to put down one of my furry friends due to cancer induced by thoe stinking chips.
How do they determine the lifetime earnings of a cat?
Re-read the story. These aren't stinking chips, but RFID chips.
Looking at the cases the site shows, and given the number of microchips implanted, this appears to be just another litigation lottery. Words like "Alarming", etc. show a PR desperation.
My pets have always been chipped, and Yes, if something happened to them, there would be hell to pay- But I know of many, many pets who were recovered and saved by the chip. I know of none who had trouble.
There are a lot of hungry people out there with motives, and all these "issues" must be viewed with skepticism.
They chose an emotionally loaded topic, targeted to an audience easily stampeded by emotion, and did it deliberately, betting that Merck is big enough to pay them off and make them Go Away.
Shhhhh, you're not allowed to make sense.
Well, look at all the TV Ads. We know what's going on!
I just saw one where there is a class action for DENTURE ADHESIVE! Yes, false teeth glue.
There is one after another as the barraters dream up one load of fiction after another.
Let's look at some facts instead of flying off the handle with emotional doomsday reactions.
First, the chips are encased in a glass tube, sometimes with a plastic 'anchor' on one end. These materials are biocompatible.
The chip does not touch the critter. I does not have a battery. It does not send out radio signals. It is passive.
The only time it does anything is when a scanner signal of the right frequency is picked up by its internal antenna. Only then does the energy of the signal allow the chip to send back an identifying signal.
This is most likely a coincidence and a lawyer trying to make himself and his client a lot of money.
Here's a chart showing the 'adverse reactions' to RFID in pets. And this is with over 4 million of them in place. This is from the AVMA website.
>>Well, look at all the TV Ads. We know what's going on! <<
The smart people do.
If breeders chip all their pups or kits, and they have invested craploads of money into those baby cash cows, I think this is all about someone making a bit on the side.
The other question would be, how many times has this cat had to be scanned? I could possibly see cancer forming if the cat was scanned once a week. Moral to the story? Keep your cat inside.
Maybe the woman was scanning the animal every day to make sure the chip was still there!
Through a lot of link clicking I read the Bio of one Voluteers at this anti-chip org. She got involved because her Yorkie didn't live "the 15 years it was supposed to". Well news flash to her -- The life expectancy of a Yorkie is about 12 to 15 years. Operative word being, "about".
Full disclosure: Yes, our Yellow Lab does have a Chip. I had it done when she was spayed at four months old. She's a little over Three years old now and healthy as a
horse a Yellow Lab can be.
People forget or ignore that Pure Bred Dogs are prone to many Breed Specific illnesses. For a Great Dane its Cancer, for a Lab, one is Epilepsy. The onset can occur from 2 to 5 years old. So could I blame the Chip if she does get Epilepsy?
To these folks, you betcha.
There's a ref to Chips and tests with Lab Rats. It states that Lab Rats are a 'hardy' species. That is 100% baloney. A Lab Rat can get sick and die if you sneeze near one as they have almost no immune system. They have to be kept in a sterile environment or 'else'.
That is exactly what I was referring to.
Not to worry, by that time the gov will have found a cure for cancer. /sarc
Aha. I have had Yorkies. That explains it.
Look, it hurts to lose an animal friend..I understand that. But the reality is that my guys used to run around like weasles on crack. They did live about twelve years. And that was almost surprising, since they never stopped.
People, if you love your cats, then don't vaccinate them at all if they're indoor-only cats. Only vaccinate if they go outdoors and are likely to be in contact with wild animals or feral cats. And then vaccinate them only with adjuvant-free PureVax vaccines.
I'm petrified over the vacs given to the military.
Good Hunting... from Varmint Al
Well then. When the epidemic comes, you'll be in a race to see whether you bury your kids first or vice versa.
I agree. There are far more electronically active implants such as pacemakers, implantable defibrillators, and many others. They've been around for decades. If this connection were true, they'd already be suing the medical implant makers for causing cancer. This is just lawyers on a fishing expedition.
You're thinking of RTGs
They don't do that any more.

Hail and farewell, fellow readers. I am quitting the column business-cold turkey. Total abstinence is the only way. As in other addictions, the build-up of tension followed by the release of handing in 900 words on deadline produces a dangerous high.
Manic euphoria is increased if I get praise and reinforcements from loyal Commonweal readers. Criticism counts as reinforcement too, since it proves someone out there has actually read you. One of my proudest moments was to have Walker Percy send a letter taking me to task for some criticism I made of the pope.
But alas, frequent highs have the baneful effect of immunizing me from working harder on longer writing projects that I have taken on. To do what I want in the long run, I have to give up satisfying bursts of steam.
No more excuses allowed now. I must finish my book on suffering. Then on to the book on the challenge of religious experience, to be followed by a rewrite of my 1991 book on conscience. When I wrote it I did not include theological considerations of conscience because I was too ignorant and had enough problems getting the psychological and ethical dimensions integrated.
I recently read an article in Theological Studies (September 2002) by Charles E. Bouchard, O.P., on "Recovering the Gifts of the Holy Spirit in Moral Theology." In it he argues that Catholics must do a better job of integrating spirituality and morality. He is...

Rising Chinese demand for energy that's helped push shipping costs higher may lead to a fivefold increase in the premium of Asian December fuel oil over January.
The extra cost for next-month fuel-oil swaps traded in Singapore compared with January contracts may climb to $5 a metric ton during December from $1 a ton today, according to a survey of four traders by Bloomberg News. The last time the difference, or timespread, reached that level was October 2009.
Rising shipping charges are deterring traders from increasing imports into Singapore, Asia's trading hub. Increased cargoes of below-standard fuel oil from other regions such as Latin America and the Caribbean have also boosted the premium, known by traders as backwardation.
"Imports remain scarce," so the premium is unlikely to dissipate, said Yasuhito Imaizumi, a Singapore-based manager at Petro Summit Pte, a unit of Sumitomo Corp., Japan's third-largest trading company.
The decline in cargo arrivals pushed December contracts above January's on Nov. 11, the first time in three months there has been backwardation in the Asian market for fuel-oil swaps, which traders use to hedge against future swings in prices.
Singapore imports of fuel oil, a residue from crude refining used to power ships and generate electricity, may fall to 3.8 million tons in November and 3 million tons in December, the lowest since May, according to the survey. About 4 million tons may have arrived in October, the traders estimated.
Hiring Ships
Cargoes are sliding as the cost of hiring ships to carry the fuel increases. Rates for chartering vessels that can convey 80,000 tons to Singapore from the Mideast have climbed almost 23 percent in the past month, the most since May, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
China is suffering a shortage of fuels such as diesel as farms increase consumption to drive machinery during the harvest season and factories seek alternative supplies to run generators as the nation limits energy use under a five-year government plan. Premier Wen Jiabao wants to reduce power consumption per unit of gross domestic product by 20 percent in the five years through 2010. A new five-year plan is due to start next year.
Lower-quality shipments into Asia from other regions is increasing amid the shortage. Cargoes from Mexico contained more than 2 percent water, while imports from Venezuela had about 0.8 percent of water, Imaizumi said. Water content should be no more than 0.5 percent, according to recommended levels set by the International Organization for Standardization.
'Another Trigger'
"An increase in cargoes with high water content or high metal content was another trigger for the backwardation," Imaizumi said. "These off-specification cargoes require blending with other fuel but blending material is also getting tighter now in Asia."
Chinese state refiners are boosting imports of diesel to help meet increased use. PetroChina Co., the country's biggest oil and gas producer, is planning additional cargoes after buying 200,000 tons from overseas, China National Petroleum Corp., its parent company, said Nov. 22. China Petroleum & Chemical Corp., the nation's largest refiner, has halted diesel exports, parent China Petrochemical Corp. said Nov. 19.
The widening of the timespread may be limited as gains in the nearest December swaps may be capped by year-end selling, said two of the traders surveyed.
The price of 180-centistoke fuel oil rose 1 percent to $495 a ton this week, while the price of 380-centistoke grade, mainly used as marine fuel, increased 1.5 percent to $486 a ton.
Some European traders and refiners may sell cargoes to cut fuel oil inventories and reduce holdings before the year ends, said Akira Kamiyama, an energy derivatives trader with Mitsui & Co. in Tokyo.
"The tightness may also be reduced when shipping charges start coming down and Singapore imports increase in December and January," Kamiyama said.

Note that aliasing vi itself is a bad idea as many other programs call on it directly, which may cause issues with your system.
751 doesn't make much sense for scripts - it allows "others" to execute the file, but not read it. (For scripts, which don't get setuid honored, this is impossible.)
To set default permissions for newly created files, you can use either umask (per-process) or default ACLs (per-directory). But they both can only remove permission bits; neither of them will add the "executable" bit automatically unless the program specifically asks for it. (For example,

I don't what to sound stupid here but AMCF has formed a beautiful Reverse Head and Shoulder since about June and is now within .20 of a breakout of the pattern with an expect price rise to around $5.30 or more. Even all the technical indicators and buying pressure indicators are positive. I'm honestly kind of stunned by this, since I've been following this POS for quite some time and didn't expect to see this pattern here. I guess I'll have to buy in, set some stops and see if the pattern succeeds. Is anyone else looking at this? TIA and GLTA.
I think that we also just broke the 200dma today.

Study: States Lack Data To Evaluate Transportation Spending
States spent $131 billion on transportation last year. But most can't say fully whether those investments paid off.
Most states lack the ability to measure the payoff of the combined $131 billion they spent on transportation last year, according to a new study that finds states lagging when it comes to performance measurement on their transportation investments.
The conclusion is troubling: At a time when state budgets are tighter that they've been in years, leaders are ill-informed about how to best use their resources, and they lack knowledge of whether their investments are yielding adequate results.
Officials in just 13 states have suitable goals, performance measures and data to help prioritize their transportation spending, according to the study released Wednesday by the Pew Center on the States and the Rockefeller Foundation

Molycorp Surges as China Raises Rare Earth Deal Stakes: Real M&A
China's control of rare-earth metals is providing Molycorp Inc., owner of the largest U.S. deposit of the minerals, with the most-valuable currency in the industry to pursue acquisitions.
Great Western Minerals Group Ltd. and Ucore Rare Metals Inc. may become targets after shares of Greenwood Village, Colorado-based Molycorp tripled since its U.S. initial public offering in July as China curbed exports, Byron Capital Markets' Jon Hykawy said. Molycorp is now valued at 117 times earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization this year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg that includes net debt, the highest of any diversified metals producer.
The surge in Molycorp's market value to $3.9 billion makes takeovers cheaper as it tries to compete with Chinese producers that control 95 percent of the world's supply of elements used to make magnets for Raytheon Co.'s Tomahawk cruise missiles and Toyota Motor Corp.'s Prius sedans. While Molycorp's mine in the Mojave Desert once met almost all the world's demand, it has yet to turn a profit and doesn't have substantial amounts of the "heavy" rare-earth metals that command the highest prices.
"Time is not on their hands," said Brian Hennessey, a Purchase, New York-based analyst for Alpine Mutual Funds, which oversees $6 billion. "Molycorp would do themselves a service by diversifying into heavy rare earth. There are a number of companies with much lower valuations in the marketplace. They can use their currency to do fairly accretive acquisitions."
Periodic Table
Great Western, which plans to start production at a South African mine in 2013, and Canada's Quest Rare Minerals Ltd. and Avalon Rare Metals Inc., which control heavy rare-earth deposits, may be possible takeover targets for Molycorp, Hennessey said.
Ucore of Halifax, Nova Scotia, may also attract suitors for its Alaska mine that contains both heavy and light rare-earth materials, according to Byron Capital's Hykawy and Jack Lifton, an independent commodities consultant and strategic metals expert who has studied mining for almost 50 years.
Ross Bhappu, Molycorp's chairman, declined to comment about potential acquisitions.
Molycorp shares advanced as much as 4.6 percent before retreating $1.56, or 3.2 percent, to $47.70 in New York Stock Exchange trading. Great Western climbed 6 cents, or 7.3 percent, to 88 Canadian cents in Toronto. Ucore slipped 7 cents, or 6.4 percent, to C$1.03.
Today's Trading
Quest increased 17 cents, or 2.9 percent, to C$5.97. Avalon gained 34 cents, or 4.8 percent, to C$7.46. The Bloomberg Rare Earth Mineral Resources Index climbed 0.8 percent.
The rare-earth elements are 17 chemically similar metals, such as lanthanum, neodymium and dysprosium. They are used in magnets for everything from cell phones and electric cars to wind turbines, guided missiles and targeting systems for tanks.
BlackBerrys made by Research In Motion Ltd. of Waterloo, Ontario; Cupertino, California-based Apple Inc.'s iPods; General Motors Co. of Detroit's plug-in Volt; and Toyota City, Japan-based Toyota's Prius all use rare-earth metals.
While rare-earth materials are relatively abundant in the earth's crust, finding deposits large enough to mine is less common, the U.S. Geological Survey said. Global demand for the elements may more than double by 2020 from 125,000 metric tons last year, according to Molycorp's filing last month with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Rare-earth metals are expensive for producers to extract and are often laced with radioactive elements. China has come to dominate the market because it has been able to produce the metals more cheaply and with fewer environmental restrictions than its competitors.
China's Quotas
Prices for rare-earth metals and shares of the companies that produce them have jumped since China said on July 8 that it would reduce export quotas for the second half of 2010 by 72 percent as it attempts to meet domestic needs while closing polluting and inefficient mines.
Prices of many "light" rare-earth elements, including lanthanum and cerium, rose 600 percent to 700 percent on average last year, Matt Gowing, a Toronto-based analyst at Mackie Research Capital Corp., said in a report to clients dated Feb.
8. The price of dysprosium, a "heavy" rare-earth element used in magnets for car motors, almost tripled to $305 a kilogram.
The Bloomberg Rare Earth Mineral Resources Index of 14 companies surged 276 percent since July 8, seven times more than the 37 percent gain for the MSCI World Materials Index of 161 commodities producers in the same period.
Molycorp, which was formed in 2008, had climbed 241 percent since raising $394 million in its July 29 IPO to start its mine near Mountain Pass, California. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index advanced 18 percent in the same period, Bloomberg data show.
Las Vegas
The 2,222-acre site, an open-pit mine located 60 miles southwest of Las Vegas, produced a majority of rare-earth materials from 1965 to 1985, a report from the Government Accountability Office in April showed.
While U.S. deposits also exist in several states such as Idaho, Wyoming and Utah, they are still being explored and could take as many as 15 years before becoming fully operational, according the GAO report.
The rally in Molycorp's shares has left the company a market capitalization of $3.9 billion. Molycorp also had $346 million more cash than debt as of Sept. 30, giving it an enterprise value of about $3.71 billion as of last week. That was 117 times its about $32 million in Ebitda that analysts estimate Molycorp will generate this year, higher than the 42 other diversified metal producers globally that are forecast to have earnings this year.
The median multiple was 6.3 times Ebitda, the data show.
Relative Value
Molycorp, which started its Mountain Pass mine in December for the first time since 2002 and has yet to report a profit on a net income basis, also sold $180 million of convertible preferred shares last month as it plans to increase production capacity to 40,000 metric tons a year by the end of 2013.
"Heavy" rare-earth metals account for only 1 percent of Molycorp's mine, according to Mackie Research's Gowing.
"If I were running Molycorp, I would act as quickly as I could to shore up what must be a light rare earth-dominated output from Mountain Pass," said Toronto-based Byron Capital's Hykawy, who covers rare-earth mining companies and is the only analyst tracked by Bloomberg with a "sell" rating on Molycorp. "The longer Molycorp management waits, the greater the chance the market switches its attention to some other critical material, and presently overvalued companies like Molycorp drop in value."
Molycorp's Bhappu said in an interview on March 5 that the company may still be undervalued. He pointed to estimates that showed analysts project Molycorp's shares will reach $66.25. That implies a 39 percent gain, Bloomberg data show.
'Compelling Argument'
"Rare earth prices where they are today, you can make a compelling argument for Molycorp being undervalued," he said.
Great Western, with a market capitalization of C$322 million ($331 million), and Ucore, which has a value of C$147 million, would be likely targets for Molycorp, Hykawy said.
Great Western, which has posted annual losses since at least 1991, specializes in processing rare-earth elements into alloys used to make batteries, magnets and products for the aerospace industry. The producer said on March 2 it increased its stake in a rare-earth exploration company that owns the shuttered Steenkampskraal mine in South Africa to 93 percent.
In January 2009, Great Western said it was working with the mine's owner to restart the mine, giving it exclusive access to rare-earth metals at the site. The company's shares have advanced 274 percent in the past year.
'Might Look Attractive'
"We are not aware of anyone looking at us as a takeover target," Gary Billingsley, chairman of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan-based Great Western, said in an e-mail. Partly because of the South African mine "we might look attractive to certain groups," he said.
Ucore operates a former uranium mine at Bokan Mountain in southeastern Alaska. The 19-mile Bokan site is estimated to be one of the largest combined heavy and light rare-earth mineral deposits within the U.S., according to the company's website. Ucore mines for "heavy' rare-earth minerals such as dysprosium, which is used to make wind turbines and electric vehicles.
The company met with U.S. lawmakers in February to discuss initiatives that would allow the U.S. to recapture market share in the rare-earth magnet manufacturing industry. Ucore's CEO Jim McKenzie has said his goal is to become the first company to produce dysprosium for magnets entirely on U.S. soil.
Shares of Ucore have more than doubled in the past year.
'Players Out There'
"There are players out there right now that I'm sure would be interested in acquiring our deposit at these levels," McKenzie said in a phone interview. "That doesn't mean we want to be acquired at these levels."
Alpine Mutual's Hennessey favors Quest Rare Minerals and Avalon as takeover targets for Molycorp. The companies hold two of the largest deposits of "heavy" rare-earth elements in the world, according to Mackie Research.
A portion of Quest's Strange Lake project in northern Quebec holds about 1.15 million tons of the metals, according the company's website. About 43 percent are "heavy" rare-earth elements. Avalon controls the Nechalacho deposit near Thor Lake in the Northwest Territories of Canada, its website said.
The site holds an estimated 1.3 million tons of rare-earth elements, with "heavy" types accounting for about 20 percent, according to Mackie Research.
Avalon is forecast to start producing from Nechalacho in 2015, with Quest's Strange Lake deposit reaching production a year later. Quest has doubled in value in the past year, while Avalon has almost tripled, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Neither company has any reported revenue, the data show.
Strange Lake
The weighted-average price of rare-earth metals at Avalon's Nechalacho site is estimated to be $94 per kilogram and $120 a kilogram at Quest's Strange Lake deposit, according to Mackie Research. That's 45 percent to 85 percent higher than Molycorp's Mountain Pass mine, which is valued at $65 a kilogram.
"There should be consolidation because of this valuation discrepancy," said Alpine Mutual's Hennessey. "It makes a whole lot of sense."
Peter Cashin, CEO at Montreal-based Quest Rare Minerals, didn't respond to a phone message outside normal business hours.
"We have no direct knowledge that Avalon is presently a takeover target," said Donald Bubar, Toronto-based Avalon's CEO. "We have heard such speculation occasionally, but to my knowledge, there is no substance to it."
'All Over'
Molycorp's Bhappu said last month rivals approached it seeking investment in their projects. The companies, which he declined to identify, are "all over the world, from Africa, Australia, Canada, the U.S., South America," he said. "The real focus for us is, rather than acquiring, better evaluation and expansion of what we have on our own property."
Companies that rely on rare-earth metals to make their products such as Toyota may also be looking to buy assets or secure supply agreements, according to Lifton. That may hasten consolidation in the industry, he said.
"Our purchasing groups are leading various efforts to mitigate any potential supply disruption and ensure that we have a stable supply for our production needs," Jeff Makarewicz, vice president of materials engineering at Toyota, said in an e-mail.
Rare-earth mining companies are "already talking to each other and to companies like Molycorp and Toyota," Lifton said. "Everybody's looking for heavy rare earths right now."
LVMH, Bulgari
Elsewhere in mergers and acquisitions, LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SA plans to acquire Bulgari SpA for 3.7 billion euros ($5.2 billion) to add the world's third-largest jeweler in what would be its biggest acquisition in at least a decade.
The largest luxury-goods company agreed to purchase the Bulgari family's 50.4 percent stake for 1.87 billion euros in stock and will then make a tender offer for the rest, according to a joint statement today.
Western Digital Corp., the largest maker of computer hard-disk drives, agreed to buy a rival unit of Tokyo-based Hitachi Ltd. for about $4.3 billion in cash and stock to reduce costs.
Western Digital will pay $3.5 billion in cash and give Hitachi 25 million of its shares, according to a statement. Hitachi will own about 10 percent of Irvine, California-based Western Digital after the deal is completed.
Terumo Corp. of Tokyo, Japan's largest medical device maker, agreed to buy Gambro AB's CaridianBCT unit for $2.63 billion, including debt, to become the world's biggest maker of blood-transfusion equipment.
There have been 4,144 deals announced globally this year, totaling $412.9 billion, a 31 percent increase from the $314.8 billion in the same period in 2010, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

The captcha image is not showing up on our website
The captcha image is not showing up on our website
The captcha sometimes is blank (has no characters in it although the background images is there), however if the same captcha image url is reloaded it works.
Salesforce plug-in is working well except for CAPTCHA. Are there dependent plug-ins or edits required to get it to work?
Am just getting background image and can't enter blank CAPTCHA code in that instance. Any thoughts?
WP 3.3.1 User
Everything needed for the captcha is included in the plugin. If you're not seeing text, I suspect your server doesn't support the type library needed by the captcha to generate the image.
There is an automated anti-spam system built in (the captcha is an additional layer of protection if the other solution is not sufficient).
So what is the solution if the type library is not supported?
Akismet Captcha works fine on our server but the SF plugin does not.
Need a solution as we are getting buckets of spam daily.
Anybody able to help on this as I have spent hours trawling the web.
Thank you
Sorry to hear that neither of the anti-spam measures in the new plugin are not working for you. Unfortunately we can't test on every server configuration, and automated anti-spam is hard to test without releasing the code to see how it fares in the wild.
The font library being the issue was an educated guess -- I have no way of knowing what the issue is without knowing more about your server.
The Akismet CAPTCHA is externally generated so it's not an apples to apples comparison. We chose not to go with that library as it had a required size which would;t work in most theme sidebars (making it a non-starter).
Can you tell me about where your site is hosted? (domain, php version, hosting company, etc).
A phpinfo() dump would be helpful (or a link to where I could view one).
If you have a development site (non-public) on the same server that I could poke around on, that'd be very helpful as I could troubleshoot the issue directly and potentially provide an update to fix the issue (if possible with your server config).
I understand if you don't want to post those here. You can email me directly from my contact page: http://thoughtrefinery.com/contact/
Hi Nick
Great response- thank you-
The domain is propertysaints.co.uk

Infiltrative eosinophilia is a condition characterized by a marked relative and absolute increase in the circulating mature eosinophiles and an inflammatory reaction with a profuse infiltration of this cell.
