Thu, Apr. 28, 3:27 AM
- The Nikkei has slumped and the yen has jumped after the Bank of Japan surprisingly held off from increasing its monetary stimulus as it looks to take more time to understand the effect of its negative interest rates.
- The Nikkei is -3.6%, while the dollar is -3.2% at 108.27 yen.
- Specifically, the BOJ let three key easing tools unchanged: its ¥80T ($732) target for expanding the monetary base, mostly through buying government bonds; the 0.1% negative interest rate; and a program to purchasing riskier assets such as stocks.
- The BOJ also put back to 2017 its timeframe for achieving its target of 2% inflation, the fourth delay in about a year.
- The BOJ's lack of action comes despite the strengthening of the yen over the recent period - aside from today - and inflation not picking up.
- Data today showed that March CPI fell 0.1% on year vs +0.3% in February. Core CPI, excluding fresh food, dropped 0.3% after being flat.

- Japanese machinery orders, a leading indicator of capital expenditure, unexpectedly dropped 3.6% on month in July after falling 7.9% in June and badly missed consensus of +3.7%.
- On year, orders +2.8% vs 16.6% and +10.5%.
- "Poor orders, particularly at the service sector, reflect persistent weakness in domestic demand," says economist Takeshi Minami.
- The numbers add to a series of weak data recently and could add pressure on the Bank of Japan to add more stimulus.
- The problem for policymakers is that they were hoping that the weaker yen and lower energy prices would help boost corporate profits, which would be used to increase wages and capital spending. However, this doesn't seem to be happening.
- The Nikkei has tumbled 2.5% after surging 7.7% yesterday, while the USD-JPY is +0.3% at ¥120.84.

- Japan's Nikkei index has surged 7.7% after dropping 2.4% yesterday as global stocks rallied, boosted today by the prospect of corporate tax cuts and further stimulus in China.
- Prime Minister Shinzo Abe pledged to cut rates by 3.3 percentage points from 35% from next year and wants to eventually lower the number into the twenties, "bringing it to a level that compares favorably in the international context."
- Abe's plan comes as the impact of his radical economic reform over the past three years appears to be fading, with GDP falling 1.2% in Q2.
- Today's rise in stocks was the Nikkei's largest single-day gain since October 2008.

- The yen weakened for a few minutes following the news, but has since retaken that ground, with dollar/yen stronger by 0.15% on the session to ¥119.09. JGBs are snoring through the news as well, with the 10-years up one basis point at 0.30%.
- Fitch keeps the outlook stable, but warns of another rating cut if: 1) Evidence that the authorities' commitment to fiscal consolidation was weakening, such as failure to articulate a clear and credible strategy for stabilizing public debt ratios, or slippage relative to targets; 2) Weaker macroeconomic performance than Fitch expects for a sustained period, intensifying the challenge in stabilizing the public finances; 3) A sharp and sustained rise in real interest rates demanded by investors to hold government debt.

Apr. 8, 2015, 4:58 AM
- The Bank of Japan's board has voted 8-1 to keep its asset-purchase target at ¥80T a year, rejecting a call by stimulus critic Takahide Kiuchi to slash the goal to ¥45T. (PR)
- As in the U.S., all that money printing has caused an inflation in assets, if not in consumer goods and services, and the Nikkei rose 0.8% to 19,789.81, the highest close since April 2000. The USD-JPY is -0.4% at ¥119.87.
- Meanwhile, Japan's current-account surplus surged to ¥1.44T ($12B) in February from ¥61.4B in January and easily beat consensus of ¥1.15T.
- The latest figure is the highest in almost 3 1/2 years and was boosted by increased income from overseas investments and the trade deficit narrowing to ¥143.1B from ¥864.2B.
- A main reason for the trend is a drop in oil prices, which has made imports cheaper. The weaker yen is also helping.
- The surplus, the eighth in a row, indicates that Japan has again become a large external creditor following a series of current-account deficits at the end of 2013. (PR)

- The improbable (to most) rally in long-dated U.S. government paper continued overnight, with the 10-year yield dipping down all the way to 1.98%. It's bounced since, and currently stands at 2.00%, off three basis points on the session.
- It's a global rally, with bonds in the BAML Global Broad Market Sovereign Plus Index having an effective yield of just 1.28% - an all-time low (data is from 1996 on). A sampling: Japan 10-years 0.29%, German 10-years 0.47%, Spain 1.55%, U.K. 1.62%, Italy 1.77%, Australia 2.7%.

- Asian stocks trade mixed as a 14-year low in U.S. weekly jobless claims and talk of the Fed possibly extending QE helps provide balance to concerns about a possible recession and deflation in Europe, the Ebola scare, China's slowdown, and Japan's floundering economy.
- The Nikkei closes -1.4% while Japanese bond prices rise, with the two-year yield dropping 3.6 bps to a record low of 0.005%.
- "We need to see a period of better data from the U.S., and especially Europe, for markets to really calm and volatility to cool," says market strategist Chris Weston.
- Nymex crude is +0.2% to $82.86 and Brent is +0.1% to $85.89, but the latter is still headed for a fourth consecutive weekly loss.
- Hong Kong +0.4%, China -0.65%, India +0.25%.

Mar. 14, 2014, 3:10 AM
- The Nikkei leads Asian stocks lower following more weak Chinese economic data yesterday and amid increased tension in Ukraine, with the Japanese index slumping 3.3%. A sharp rise in the yen overnight didn't help matters.
- "Japan stocks often take the first hit on bad Asian news, then when the U.S. markets fall later, they react to that as well, resulting in a 'double whammy' effect," says hedge-fund manager Ed Rogers.
- Hong Kong shares are also suffering as the Hang Seng drops 0.9% and heads for its worst week since May 2012.
- Elsewhere in Asia, China -0.8% and Indian -0.9%.
- Meanwhile, Japanese industrial production rose 3.8% on month vs a prior estimate of +4%.
- On year, output +10.3% vs +10.6%.
- Capacity utilization +5.9% vs +2.2%.

Feb. 20, 2014, 2:42 AM
- Japan's trade deficit more than doubled to a record ¥2.79T ($27.3B) in January from ¥1.3T in December and exceeded consensus of ¥2.49T.
- Export growth slowed to 9.5% on year from 15.3% and sharply missed expectations of 12.6%.
- Imports, though, soared 25% vs 24.7% and 21.8%, driven up by the weak yen and significant energy needs because of the closure of the nuclear-power industry.
- The large trade deficit contributed to GDP expanding at a lower-than-expected 1% in Q4.
- "If the economy weakens further after a sales tax hike (in April), policymakers could resort to fiscal stimulus as early as summer," says economist Yasuo Yamamoto.
- However, the trade figures may have been affected by a rush to purchase foreign-made goods before the tax increase and by the Chinese New Year.
- The Nikkei is -2.15% while the USD-JPY is -0.5% at ¥101.80. (PR)

Feb. 18, 2014, 2:56 AM
- The Bank of Japan has surprised markets by expanding lending facilities that are designed to spur corporate investment by offering low-interest loans to commercial banks in the hope that they will lend the money to businesses.
- At a policy meeting, the BOJ doubled one program to ¥7T ($68B) and said individual banks could borrow twice as much under another facility.
- The BOJ also maintained its program of increasing the monetary base by ¥60-70T a year.
- The boosting of the lending facilities comes after data yesterday showed that Q4 GDP grew a less-than-expected 0.3%. Notwithstanding, the BOJ maintained its view that Japan is recovering moderately.
- The move helped weaken the yen and the Nikkei to surge 3.3%. The USD-JPY is +0.6% at ¥102.57. (PR)

Feb. 17, 2014, 2:48 AM
- Japanese GDP growth slowed to 0.3% on quarter in Q4 from 0.5% in Q3 and missed consensus of 0.7%.
- Annualized GDP softened to +1% from +1.1% and undershot forecasts of +2.8%.
- The GDP deflator, "which measures the change in prices of final goods and services and is considered as a key indicator for inflationary pressures," fell to -0.4% on year from -0.3%.
- Industrial production +0.9% in December vs -0.1% in November and consensus of +1.1%. On year, output +7.1% vs +4.8%.
- Capacity utilization +2.2% vs -0.5%.
- Japan's Q4 economic performance was kept down by strong import growth, which is a negative factor in GDP calculations, and a limited increase in exports.
- Imports +3.5% on quarter, exports +0.4%, business investment +1.3%, consumer spending +0.5%.
- The soft growth adds to pressure on Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to detail reforms that will make Japan more competitive. This is especially the case with the upcoming rise in sales tax in April.
- "This weak export performance gives us a sense of risk that the Japanese economy may significantly stall after April," says economist Takuji Okubo. "Abe really needs to be quick in showing to the market that he can deliver reform."
- The data comes a day before the Bank of Japan is forecast to leave its monetary policy unchanged.
- Despite the disappointing GDP, short covering helped the Nikkei end +0.6% following a day of choppy trading.
- The USD-JPY is -0.1% at 101.73.

Jan. 24, 2014, 4:23 AM
- Asian shares have mostly fallen as investors have seemed to grow more fearful about the significance of poor Chinese manufacturing PMI data yesterday.
- Investors have sought safe havens such as the yen - the USD-JPY is -0.3% at ¥103 - helping to send the Nikkei -1.9%.
- "A correction could occur," says investment strategist Shane Oliver. "We have to expect more volatility. Shares are no longer dirt cheap, meaning the easy gains are behind us."
- The once place where the PMI data didn't seem to to have an effect today was China, whose Shanghai Composite rose 0.6%. Stocks were partly boosted by money market rates falling again following a $42B+ injection of cash this week from the central bank ahead of the Lunar New Year. The seven-day repo rate dropped 77 bps to 4.61%.
- "Bad news has been digested and liquidity has eased," says analyst Du Liang.

Jan. 15, 2014, 3:25 AM
- Japanese machine tool orders, a leading indicator of capex, surged 28% on year in December after climbing 15.4% in November.
- Domestic demand rose 41.6% and foreign bookings 21.9%.
- For 2013, machine tool orders dropped 7.9%, due to a 14.4% fall in exports, although domestic bookings rose 6.6%.
- The Nikkei gained 2.5% following a slump of 3.1% yesterday, with the mood brightened by a better-than-expected U.S. retail sales report.

Jan. 13, 2014, 9:33 AM
- The very crowded short Japanese yen trade continues to unwind (just a bit). Dollar/yen is down 1% to ¥103.13 in morning action. The pair had risen to nearly ¥106 on the year's first trading session. FXY +0.9%.
- Nikkei futures -1.8%. DXJ -1.4%.

Dec. 30, 2013, 4:53 AM
- Japan's Nikkei 225 has closed the day and the year at a fresh six-year high of 16291, representing a rise of 0.7% for the session and 57% for the year. That makes 2013 the index's best annual performance since it jumped 92% in 1972.
- Japanese stocks have been benefiting from the central bank's massive money printing, which has helped weaken the yen and boost exporters. The USD-JPY is +0.1% at ¥105.29 after the yen earlier hit a five year low of ¥105.41.
- Elsewhere in Asia, Hong Kong ended flat and China -0.2%, while India is -0.2%.

Dec. 27, 2013, 10:08 AM
- Barring a big move higher in the next couple of sessions, the yen (FXY -0.2%) appears set to end 2013 pretty close to the year's low, the dollar buying more than ¥104 this morning vs. less than ¥80 in November 2012.
- "We do not believe that the current pace of yen depreciation is sustainable," says JPMorgan's Junya Tanasa, expecting an unwind of the popular Nikkei long/yen short trade at some point in 2014.
- For a contrary view, check out Kyle Bass, who contends the real move lower in the yen hasn't even begun yet. He's calling for dollar/yen rising all the way to ¥200 and - as we've all seen - once currencies get a head of steam going in a certain direction, no one can be sure of where the move will stop. ¥350? Why not?

AN IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT DIAPER BAGS FOR NEW PARENTS: You're supposed to fill diaper bags with CLEAN diapers. Repeat: CLEAN diapers. That is all.
Diaper bags are so much groovier now than they were 19 years ago. It seemed like they were all pastel colors & sissy. I finally settled on a denim one.
As the mother of twins, I found typical diaper bags pretty useless. They were too small and generally not that well made. I used an LL Bean bookpack - plenty of room and it never failed me. But then, this was 8-9 years ago, things might be different now.

MLP The Riddler by AidanInfernoWatch
©2013-2016 AidanInferno
My crossover of The Riddler from "The Batman". I was originally going to draw him when he was in "Batman The Animated Series" but I kinda liked this Riddler more after being inspired by how drew the Riddler as a pony in this picture [link]. I gave him a collar and tie just to kinda add more flow to it. I was also going to draw his cane but I just wanted a straight forward pony drawing instead. But now he's Equestria's most wanted evil genius XP hoho.
The Riddler is © DC Comics

U.K. Tabloid Scandal: How To Watch The Murdochs Testify
Hide captionRupert Murdoch, chairman and CEO of News Corp.: The Australian-born Murdoch controls News Corp., a vast global media conglomerate comprising newspapers, television and electronic publishing outlets. He initially built his holdings largely by acquiring a series of lucrative tabloids that helped eventually subsidize the takeover of more mainstream outlets.
Hide captionJames Murdoch, director and executive vice president, News Corp.: Rupert Murdoch's son, James, is widely viewed as the heir apparent to the News Corp. empire. He handles many of the day-to-day operations at the company and acts as CEO for its European and Asian divisions.
Hide captionLes Hinton, former CEO of Dow Jones & Co.: Hinton was appointed CEO of Dow Jones, which publishes the Wall Street Journal, after News Corp. acquired the company in 2007. At the time of the alleged phone hacking, Hinton was head of News International, the Murdoch-owned company that published News of the World. He testified twice before Britain's Parliament, insisting that a single rogue reporter was responsible for the phone hacking. He resigned July 15.
Hide captionRebekah Brooks, former CEO of British properties; former editor, News of the World: The British journalist served as editor of News of the World from 2000 to 2003, during the same time the phone hacking by the paper's reporters allegedly took place. She later became CEO of the company's British properties and developed a close working relationship with Murdoch. She resigned on July 15 and was arrested two days later in connection with the scandal. Brooks has since been released on bail.
Hide captionDavid Cameron, British prime minister: Cameron — who during his run for prime minister courted Rupert Murdoch — hired Andy Coulson, a former News of the World editor, as his press secretary in 2007. Coulson had earlier resigned as editor at the News after one of the newspaper's reporters was convicted of phone hacking.
Hide captionAndy Coulson, former press secretary to Prime Minister Cameron; former editor, News of the World: Coulson followed Brooks as editor of News in 2003. Four years later, he resigned amid the first revelations in the phone-hacking scandal. He was arrested on July 8 in connection with the scandal. Coulson was subsequently released on bail and has publicly denied any wrongdoing.
Hide captionPaul Stephenson, former commissioner, London's Metropolitan Police Service: Stephenson resigned from the force — better known as Scotland Yard — on July 17. His judgment was being questioned following renewed inquiries about police bribery and his hiring of Neil Wallis, a deputy editor at News of the World, as an adviser to the department.
Hide captionJohn Yates, former assistant commissioner, London Metropolitan Police Service: Yates assumed the post of assistant commissioner at Scotland Yard in 2006 and headed the initial police inquiry into the phone hacking that year. He endured heavy criticism for his handling of the investigation, which some members of Parliament said amounted to a whitewash. He resigned on July 18.
Hide captionAmanda "Milly" Dowler: The 13-year-old British schoolgirl was abducted and murdered in 2002. Her killer was convicted in June 2011. On July 4, Britain's Guardian newspaper reported that Scotland Yard had uncovered evidence that Dowler's voice mail had been accessed by reporters from News of the World. The Guardian said that messages with potential evidence had been deleted by News reporters.

The scandal in the U.K. over how some News Corp. newspapers invaded the privacy of perhaps thousands of people, from the royals to murder victims, is front-and-center in Parliament this morning as company chief Rupert Murdoch appears before the Media and Sport Committee to answer questions about what his company allegedly did.
Also today, beginning at 7 a.m. ET, there's the appearance before the Home Affairs Committee of Sir Paul Stephenson, who this week stepped down as head of Scotland Yard after reports that some police officials may have been paid by News Corp. tabloids for information. He's to be joined by John Yates, who Monday resigned from his post as assistant commissioner of the famed police force.
Murdoch, his son James (a top executive of News Corp.) and Rebekah Brooks (a former editor of the tabloid News of the World, where the scandal began, and who this week resigned her post as the top executive at News Corp.'s European unit), are due to appear before the committee starting at 9:30 a.m. ET.
The sessions are being webcast. (Update at 9:30 a.m. ET: We've embedded Channel 4 News' stream here.)
The Home Affairs Committee's questioning of the former Scotland Yard officials is here.
When the second committee starts questioning the Murdochs and Brooks, the session is to be online here.
On Morning Edition, NPR's Philip Reeves said that among the questions the Murdochs will be asked is "how much they knew about phone-hacking at the now-closed News of the World" and why their company insisted for so long that only two people had been involved.
Whether the Murdochs and Brooks will directly answer the queries isn't known. Brooks has already been arrested for her alleged role in the scandal.
We'll add posts as the news develops.
Meanwhile, The Associated Press reports that "News Corp. board member Thomas Perkins said Monday that embattled Chief Executive Rupert Murdoch has the full support of the company's board of directors, and is not considering elevating Chief Operating Officer Chase Carey to replace him amid a phone-hacking scandal in Britain."

I exchanged this large grill for the next size down. The smaller version is exactly the same material and I have been very happy with it (the larger version was just too long for our needs). The grill is very sturdy and excellent for over a camp fire. I have used it over camp grills that are provided at the camp site and over our camp fires. It is easy to clean and use. My only suggestion would be for the manufacture to provide a carry bag.
Wow, Is this baby huge!! Great size, heavy duty construction. My son requested this for Christmas and this one had the best price. Can't wait for camping season. I sure it will even lay across most fire rings!!
Altho it didn't seem like it in begining, it is a very sturdy product. Did great job holding few heavy items and cooking.
Great large cooking space for a group of 10. Dinner and breakfast were easy with the large surface. I would recommend this item to everyone.
Had to wait a little than usual but it was worth it
We use this grill this past weekend at our camp and it was great. We really like it, it's exactly what we needed and intend to use it a lot more in the coming months.
I thought it would be more heavy duty. I dont think it will last.

Complaining to the FTC, eh? Well, certainly a legal privilege to do so and even though I doubt the FTC will pursue it to the fullest it does draw attention to the fact that there is a sizable number of people who intensely dislike the ending.
As for me, I've stated before how I dislike the ending, but I don't expect there to be a new one. Sure we might whine and complain, but...whenever Bioware rolls out their next RPG whether it be within the ME universe or perhaps a different one, how many of us whiners are not going to buy it because of our ME3 rage?
For as much as I disliked the ending, I found ME3 overall to be a very entertaining game and well worth my 60$, and I'm going to continue to support Bioware's future endeavors simply because of the 4 Bioware games I've played thus far (KOTOR, and the ME triology) all have been extremely entertaining and provided hundreds of hours of game-play. I think at the end of the day Bioware and others involved with the production and sale of ME3 are expecting most of their target clientele to feel the same way and personally I think they are safe in doing so.
Plus, my main beef with the endings was the lack of closure on the party characters and their stories. Probably done on purpose to save for DLC.

Perhaps something in the realm of...I don't know...erm...say you control Grunt in a few side missions where he and his team of krogan uncover a Salarian-Turian plot to create a new genophage or something. Replicate this 5 or 6 times with different scenarios for the other party characters (just had an idea of Jacob and Miranda teaming up to go after remnants of Cerberus, could give Bioware a chance to tell us more about the still shadowy organizaiton)
and you could almost have enough content to make another game.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WBKO) - Bowling Green Independent Schools continue to fight the non-resident agreement approved by Warren County Public Schools.
At Monday's Bowling Green School Board meeting a motion to take possible legal action was approved. It's the latest in the ongoing disagreement between the two districts. Interim Superintendent for Warren County, Kathy Goff, says she has had no conversations with Bowling Green Schools.
"I think our board has been very fair. They have looked at their decision and they've made it so now we will go from here and of course Bowling Green Independent Schools will move forward with everything they have a right to do as well," says Goff.
Goff says Warren County and Bowling Green Independent Schools have always had a great relationship and they hope to continue that in the future.

Excellent work!
I thought it was real for 2 seconds
This is so beautiful. I absolutely love the way the sun is shining over top of the trees directly in the middle, and I also like the light that it gives off. Marvelous piece!
Beautiful picture, really looks like a photo
GORGEOUS! (= I love the silhouettes and the rays of light. The clouds are really nice and the ripples on the water. Really nice effect.
Lovely shot, the scene looks beautiful and the sun looks great behind the clouds Good job
wow apart from the tree line that looks like a photo
Thanks and yeah, they look kinda odd. They've even been called zombies before!
Is this really a 3d ? It's amazing.
Very well photographed and aesthetically pleasing x
Thanks, but it's not 'photographed'.
Looks so....Relaxing.... The sunset(or sunrise) looks beautiful.
The way the sky dramatically zooms in the sun is the best part of this picture. Great work. :]
Wonderful light.
Whoa, is it just me, or the trees looks like people standing on the other side?

Oops, TSMC did it again
Subject: General Tech | October 30, 2009 - 12:00 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
It looks like those who have been holding their breath in the hopes that the HD5890 or 5870X2 would be arriving soon, or that the current HD5xxx cards will drop in price may be waiting a bit longer. The 40nm process at TMSC is having problems again, the same issue that pretty much killed the HD4770 at birth. For a while it looked as if the problems had finally been solved but the news from DigiTimes is that yields are once again dropping.
Print yourself a circuit, stick LEDs on your Coors
Subject: General Tech | October 29, 2009 - 12:05 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Plastics, film, and textiles are all viable substrates for Xerox's new Silver Bullet, a conductive silver ink that at 140 degrees Celsius.
This makes all sorts of interesting tricks possible that are not feasible with ink that melts at about 1,000 Celsius or by printing and etching a regular circuit board. Think RFIDs on cloth, LEDs built into anything, wearable WiFi and bendy plastic tech. Hack a Day is already impatient to get their hands on some.
Be smug with your smog mouse
Subject: General Tech | October 28, 2009 - 06:46 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
The Ozone Smog gaming mouse is a bit odd looking and sport software that claims to boost the 3200DPI maximum to 5040DPI. The removable weight tray sits in the middle of the mouse body as opposed to the bottom and the mouses feet are ceramic. Add the odd look, especially the rear end of the mouse and you have a gaming mouse that seems a little different from the rest. Drop by TestSeek Labs for a look.
A fresh autumn Eve
Subject: General Tech | October 28, 2009 - 02:16 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Eve Apocrypha is the new version of Eve Online, though since we are talking about an interstellar MMORPG, it isn't an additional area as you expect in WoW. Eve, if you have never experienced it is a little different from most RPGs. NPCs are interacted with via in game email and combat is a little different than you might expect. Before dropping money on this new version of Eve, drop by Bjorn3D for an overview. Some will absolutely hate the game but enough love it that it is still around years later.
Cable bills too high, internet too slow. Light up your own!

Now this solution will definitely work better in smaller communities as it could be hard to get the government of a very large municipality to invest the money required to roll out your own ISP, but the effort is worth it. Monticello, Minnesota ended up hiring TDS Telecommunications
to roll out their own fiber to the home
network. Now enjoying 50Mbs for $40/month without having to bundle with other services thanks to a 2007 referendum that the town would roll out its own network. That attempt to build their own network lead to lawsuits filed by TDS, which they lost, so no

A lot of attention has been paid to the coders that are working hard to ensure the latest and greatest GPUs are supported by Linux, especially when it comes to high definition playback. That is not the only area that is being improved, support for higher end audio cards is also a focus for programmers.

The 'other' Bridgestone is at it again, this time in 4,096 colors. They have been at the forefront of e-paper, thanks to their electron powder and granular material
they have been able to redraw an entire screen on their previous products in 0.8 seconds, like an incredibly talented Etch A Sketch on amphetamines. Their new, soon to be released 10.7" touchscreen e-paper device handles full colour and even more interesting it is fully flexible. Take a look at this first over at engadget.
Pulling 100 cores out of a hat
Subject: General Tech | October 26, 2009 - 12:12 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
You can be forgiven if you've never heard of Tilera, but you can be guaranteed to hear about them now. They've just announced plans to release a 40nm chip with 100 cores on board, beating Intel's 80 core prototype we saw back in 2007. The chips are built on a mesh topography as opposed to the on-chip bus interconnect
used in multicore x86 processors; the end result of which is more bandwidth thanks to the lack of a bottleneck. Perhaps the most

Hi everybody,
I'm using the theme WooTube (demo here) to showcase an ongoing series fo videos, it creates thumbnails for each video post and looks great.
However, I would like to include a blog within my site and I am unsure the best way to do this. My thoughts so far are:
-If I use the theme's standard posts system and file all blog posts under a 'blog' category, I don't think I can show a blog index page that isn't just thumbnails (would be good to have excerpts).
-If I use a separate platform for my blog and keep them separate, what is the best way to do this - Set it up in WordPress.com, or WordPress self-hosted under a subdomain or on a site like Posterous?
SEO is a priority and so is having all the standard blog features like tags and categories.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,

Released: Nov 01st, 2002
Running Time: 88
Company: Homegrown Video
Cast: Steve (I), Dawn, Ken (I), Ed, Rene (I), Betty (I), Tarya
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Pro-Am
Five scenes, featuring two solos, three couples. Opener, with scrawny Ed and big Lilah has passion, but not a lot of eye appeal. Tarya vibes herself and plays with her vosburg, then Rene announces her retirement from performing before she does a farewell scene with her new love Steve. Steve is glad to be here, as his early in-the-pussy pop will tell you.
Dawn and Ken do a chiaroscuro (read: dim light) scene under the eye of their camcorder-on-sticks. She passionately sucks his cock, then really passionately bends in half to receive him in a mish that she moans and gasps through, then a standing position and a suck to climax. Very hot. Betty, 23, a dancer working her way through school, strips and masturbates. Watching her undulate on a dildo will make you want to see her dance.
Usual mixed bag of quality and personnel, but the passion shines through the amateurishness.

The ultimate trilogy BD collection!,
This review is from: X-Men Trilogy - Trilogie X-Men [Blu-ray + Ultraviolet Copy] (Bilingual) (Blu-ray)
This X-Men trilogy blue ray pack is basically an updating and refreshing of the original X-Men and it's two sequels into one complete and ultimate Bluray collection. It is NOT like the three movie dvd collection which was nothing more than the original movies shoved into a cardboard sleeve; rather this is a BD redo with new packaging and a ton of extras. It is more akin to the Star Wars or Lord of the Rings ultimate collections in style and completeness!
Each of the three movies comes in it's own individual bluray case and each movie consists of three discs. One for the movie, one for all the extensive extras and one as a digital copy. (Nine discs in all.) Which are then housed in a standard glossy cardboard outer case. It makes for a very impressive collection.
All three movies are in a widescreen format; 2.35:1 for X-Men and 2.40:1 for United and Last Stand and all are on 50 GB dual layer discs for maximum visual clarity. All three look superb!
In audio, X-Men and X-Men United have a full English DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track and X-Men The Last Stand ups this to a full DTS-HD 6.1 track! In addition all three movies have full Dolby Digital 5.1 tracks in English, French, Spanish and Portuguese. Nobody gets short-changed on the audio. Plus there are even subtitle tracks for Korean, Cantonese and Mandarin as well. I didn't bother listening to the other tracks but the English DTS-HD tracks are very impressive. X-Men has never sounded so good.
Each movie comes with it's own separate extras discs which contain numerous documentaries on everything from the history of the X-Men to theatrical trailers. There are too many for me to list. But it's very extensive.
As for the digital copy discs, they are now expired. However, it has been reported that you can go to the main website and download new updated digital copy codes. I haven't tried this, but reports are that it does work quite well.
So bottom line, if you want the ultimate X-Men trilogy collection with nothing left out; this is the set to buy. It has everything you could possibly want, the best visuals and the best audio available and for each individual movie; doesn't cost any more than a plain bargin-bin no extra's DVD would. So if X-Men is your interest, then this is pretty much a no-brainer!
UPDATE - July 30, 2013 - There have been some reports (unconfirmed) that newer boxsets may or may not have the digital copy discs included in the package. Instead you may have to go to the studio's website and use your activation code to download them instead! Everything else appears to be the same.

People inside the echo chamber know about Metacpan and either use it in preference to search.cpan.org or switch to it if, as is often the case at the moment, search.cpan.org is down.
People outside the echo chamber are less aware of Metacpan. If search.cpan.org is down, they just take it as more evidence that Perl is d**ng.]]>
I am also unclear on your reasoning for the problem. Is it: 1) because you don't like how long the module list is with the extra entries? 2) The submissions of Acme:: and related modules are NOT going into Acme:: like they should.
3) Bandwidth or storage space problem for the administration.
4) They are annoying to look at when looking for "real*" modules.
If it is just the 'noise' of looking at Acme::yourname modules, or the annoyance thereof; then should there not be some sort of filter put in place? (more than what exists today) This would be better than to just annihilate the whole category.
If it is the problem of Acme::yourname:: not being used when it should be, then some new policies may be in order.
If it is the problem of bandwidth, perhaps more mirrors are in order, or stricter checks for duplicate or redundant data. Also checking for data that is not to be uploaded. I realize this is being done to a certain degree already, but there is always more that can be done. I would gladly volunteer my time for such a purpose.
To banish experimentation to some other place when it has been done this way for years is something you can only wish for, it's like wishing for developers to all test their modules correctly, it will never happen. There are deadlines, workloads, and time itself to consider.
To quote Buddy Burden's comment, "In a perfect world, I think I'd love to have one of each" of those.
You are always going to have people that will color outside the lines. I could go on and on but I must cut this short, if you require more information from me, don't hesitate to write me an e-mail message.
* The term, '"real" modules' means something different to each of us. Because of this dynamic, it is not possible to please everyone, all of the time.]]>
* might be inside
[...], which would be like Perl's character classes. In that case, you want to leave it alone. :)]]>
And I typically find it easier to reason about stars and pluses than counted repetitions, even if it means I have to count dots.
So I think I would have written this like so:
1 while s/[*]+([?]+)[*]*/$1*/g;
; $1 ? '.+'
: $2 ? '.'
: $3 ? '.*'
: quotemeta $4
That is, first, shuffle around question marks while collapsing wildcards as soon as possible. Then recognise particular wildcard sequences and translate them.
Note how easy it is to modify this to generate counted repetitions and how relatively simpler the generator expression for them ends up:
; $1 ? ( '.{' . ( length $1 ) . ( $2 ? ',' : '' ) . '}' )
: $3 ? '.*'
: quotemeta $4
(Note that I didn't use
([?]*)([*]*) because that would match the empty string. But it's silly (i.e. much less readable) to translate
* to
.{0,} instead of
.* anyway.)
my %convert = (
'*' => '.*',
'?' => '.',
I haven't checked it, but if it doesn't handle the cases discussed here, you could submit a PR tomorrow, as part of your CPAN Day celebration :-)
And while you're there, you could add the github repo to the dist's metadata, so it will appear in the sidebar on MetaCPAN.]]>
# Given a glob pattern, return a regex that has the following behavior when

return $args{tree} ? @alts : qr/^(?|@{[ join '|', @alts ]})$/
It knows about the special significance that directory separators have in glob patterns, and handles brace expansion (by letting bsd_glob expand the pattern without expanding wildcards). Also handles character class wildcards, besides the simple ? and * wildcards.]]>
/ isn't treated specially.
(In one place I use this for matching some HTTP header values, in which case
. is actually
[...] here.]]>
I don't think your version handles the last case with backslash escapes.]]>
* specially, no. But it supports many other features (wildcards don't match a leading dot, curlies, etc) plus it uses a rather C-like approach to converting the pattern (iterating over single characters, state machine) so it would take more than 10 seconds of looking at it to make any major changes to the algorithm.]]>

Great Britain under-20s rounded off their European
Championship B Division campaign on Sunday with a convincing 77-41 victory
against Georgia to take seventh spot.
Led by a 14 point, ten rebound
double-double from Callum Lawson (196-F-96), Andreas Kapoulas' team never looked back
after an 18-9 first period.
That lead grew to 37-21 at half-time,
before Jules Dang Akodo sparked a 14-0 run to effectively end the game as a
contest as Britain took a 63-30 lead into the final stanza. A 14-11 fourth
period wrapped up GB's fifth win in eight games.
Dang-Akodo added six assists to his 11
points while Josh Steel and Sedale Hanson-Young each finished with ten points.
The previous day had seen GB fail to build
on a good first period as they went down 78-74 against Poland in their opening
classification game.
Led by 23 Pharroh Gordon points, Britain
led 28-22 at the first break but saw that lead cut to 43-39 at the first break
and 61-58 at the final break.
The teams traded baskets in the fourth period
before a Dang-Akodo trey with 100 seconds on the clock put Britain back up by
one, but that was the last time they troubled the scorers as Poland replied
with a triple and closed out the victory.

I am planning on adding a Windows Server 2008 R2 box as a second domain controller for a client running an SBS 2003 R2 domain and have two questions.
Are there any "gotchya's" involved in doing this, or do I just run ad and forest prep, promote the 2008 R2 box?
How would CALs work with this setup? Would I need SBS 2008 CALs, Server 2008 CALs or would the old SBS 2003 CALs cover this setup?
My thinking is I will only need Server 2008 CALs

Shaukat Aziz, former Pakistani prime minister and ex-high-flyer at Citigroup, has defended the embattled universal banking model – days before the US government adds to the pressure to break up global finance houses by releasing "stress test" results
Shaukat Aziz, former Pakistani prime minister and
ex-high-flyer at Citigroup, has defended the embattled
universal banking model days before the US government
adds to the pressure to break up global finance houses by
releasing stress test results.
Aziz, once tipped alongside current chief executive Vikram
Pandit as a prime contender for Citigroups top job, said
that too big to fail remains a necessary and viable
model for the banking industry in spite of growing calls
to scrap global institutions given the systemic risk they
Im not in agreement that the days of global
institutions are over, he told Emerging Markets
in an interview. Policy-makers and regulators may not
appreciate that these are global institutions.
[But] while they may be large in size, they have an
economic reason to exist. They have to be managed in a way that
their size becomes a strength, not a weakness, and it is
Although he declined to say whether his former firm should be
broken up, Aziz said that Citigroups various
businesses around the world complement each other. In
theory they can function together very well as one entity
as a large global institution.
He added that global banks still have a role but they
have to be managed differently and managed appropriately. They
are important catalysts for global investment and
Sheila Bair, chairman of the US Federal Deposit Insurance Corp
(FDIC), last week sought authority to close systemically
important financial firms, saying no bank is too
big to fail. US regulators have delayed releasing the
results of stress tests conducted on the nations largest
banks until May 7.
Aziz said that authorities have further to go in weeding out
failed management at big banks. To address the root
causes of what happened authorities must take steps that
include changing the management and boards of financial
institutions which received government capital.
Some have done it, more needs to be done, he said.
Aziz added that he saw more pain to come as the
credit portfolios of banks face new risks.
Since stepping down as prime minister in November 2007 Aziz has
come under fire in Pakistan for what some see as his role in
contributing to the countrys economic collapse last
But he defended his record in office against critics who
maintain his government botched an opportunity to put the
economy on a sustainable footing. The facts speak for
themselves, he said: Our ratings went up, FDI was the
highest ever, the reserves were at the highest levels, the
exchange rate was stable all these were good
The coalition government that took office in March last year
lambasted Azizs administration, for having allegedly
papered over a hole in public finances, which resulted in a
rapid downward revision in GDP targets and a leap in the fiscal
But Aziz attributed the countrys dramatic reversal of
fortune last year which forced the authorities to go cap
in hand to the IMF in November to the sharp spike in oil
prices. Suddenly your whole balance of payments, current
account goes out of whack because energy prices, which are a
core factor for growth, get so high.

Rules for Working at Goldman Sachs
Executives at the bank have asked employees to tone down their behavior in order to avoid further public relations disasters.
Goldman Sachs executives have encouraged employees to tone down their behavior in order to avoid public scrutiny, this morning's Wall Street Journal informed us:
When the company repaid its $10 billion in TARP last month, Goldman President Gary Cohn left a companywide voicemail message reminding employees to keep their focus and not to change what they were doing. Other Goldman officials warned junior employees not to go out to bars near the office and pay with a corporate credit card, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Through our sources,* Daily Intel has obtained portions of a memo that went out to employees earlier this month.
• Try not to be seen smiling. These are grim times and just because you'll probably be making $700,000 this year at bare minimum, at least 10% percent of the country is jobless and thinks it's your fault. When you're walking around, try to affect an expression that suggests you're one of Them instead of one of You. If you have a hard time getting into character, the company has engaged an acting coach, James Lipton, who will teach the Stanislavski Method in the west boardroom during lunch.
• Try not to be seen holding bills over the denomination of $20.
Whenever possible, we'd like you to pay for goods outside the building in change. We've set up a stand in the lobby to convert your bills to coin.
• Careful! The "Ginger Ale" in the soda area is actually Cristal. (We switched the labels to look less conspicuous.)
• Consumption of luxury food items should be confined to the Luxury Foods Suite.
• Don't take car service. If you need to get around, the company has hired an armless taxi driver who will take you anywhere you need to go. He's a bit slippery behind the wheel, but we're offering whomever is photographed using him a $100,000 one-time bonus payment. American taxpayers can't fault you for wanting to help out the armless.
• A representative from UnderCharms, the leading manufacturer of golden underwear, will be visiting the office this week to sell their product, "The Luxury Only You Know About." We suggest you invest in a pair. Not only is gold a solid investment in this economy, but you should be able to hang on to it even in the event you're attacked by an angry mob.
Here's to hoping that won't happen!

Here is how our network is setup: We have one Sonicwall NSA 3500 that feeds internet to the entire campus. Connected to the Sonicwall is a Dell PowerConnect 5548. Connected to that are the 4 main UAP's (Ubiquiti UniFi access points) for the main building. The controller (software) is connected to the Dell through several unmanaged switches. Other buildings are connected directly to the Sonicwall through 2 Rocket M5's and a NanoBridge.
DHCP is handled by the Sonicwall. There are 2 SSID's Staff and Public
Public is by itself on vlan 205 with 192.168.205.0/24 and a 60 min lease. Staff is not on a vlan and that interface on Sonicwall is shared with computers. The network is 192.168.12.0/24 with a 1440 min lease.
Sonicwall handles all routing with the default settings Also Sonicwall only allows traffic from 205 to go to the WAN, everything else is blocked.
We have had this setup for a couple weeks now, and we have had the Sonicwall and the UAP's for several months without issue. For whatever reason, starting the day before yesterday, certain devices refuse to get an ip address when they connect to either of the wireless networks on any of the UAP's. They instead get a link local address (Which is reported on the controller as their address.)
Each device seems to act consistently, and does not seem tied to brand (Some iPhones have difficulty, some don't etc.): Some won't get on at all. Some will get on if you switch networks several times. Some will get on but occasionally get kicked off then get right back on. Some don't appear to have any issues. (That I have heard about anyway. It is possible all devices are having some kind of issues that just aren't getting noticed/reported.)
We have tried rebooting all equipment, and unplugging everything on the Dell switch except one of the UAP's and the issues continued. Any thoughts?

Perfect entertainment for bondage enthusiasts.
Beautiful women, quality lingerie and knotwork artistry make this high-class Jack Banner bondage show a winner. The first hour features three story selections: pouty Frankie Dashwood posing for a bondage calendar, Shannon Kelly disciplined with ropes and ball-gags, and Karina Santos sharing fantasies. Next are vignettes starring more bound and gagged beauties.
The actresses look great, and there's plenty of good camerawork, intricate knots and challenging poses. Best are naughty Nathali Demore hogtied on a saddle and leggy Shannon tied to various scaffoldings for punishment (she's bought $400 panties, and Master Jack does not approve). Jack himself is rather likable as he scolds his bound, naughty girls.

Philadelphia Orphans' Court Judge John W. Herron ruled Tuesday that the Archdiocese of Philadelphia's plan to lease 13 cemeteries to a for-profit company was not a diversion of charitable assets, clearing the way for the deal to go forward.
Under the agreement between the archdiocese and StoneMor Partners L.P., announced in September, StoneMor will make an initial payment of $53 million, with an additional $36 million spread over the sixth through 35th years of the 60-year lease.
Herron noted in his opinion that the archdiocese's leasing plan "implicates delicate issues of faith and mortality." He said those concerns - involving, for example, the "sacred trust of burial" - were reflected in the 200 letters and phone calls on the plan to the archdiocese.

Track: Musical Theatre
Describe a memorable event or image in an ACU play in which you have performed, directed, designed or crewed or one you've seen here.
I will never forget what was said at the talk back of [title of show]. A woman who had attended 'The 39 Steps' had come to see this show as well, raised her hand to ask us a question and instead gave us an incredible moment to cherish as actors. She told us that her husband had recently died, leaving her in a very dark place, but that she had laughed for the first time since the funeral at 'The 39 Steps' and had the same joyous experience during [title of show]. That was all. She simply wanted to thank us for bringing a glimmer of joy and laughter back into her life. That is the power of art- a stunning phenomenon to take part in as an artist.
How has faith impacted your journey as an artist?
My art would not survive without my faith. My faith gives me confidence in God's authority and a subsequent hope for what the future might bring. When asked "Why Theatre?" all I can say is simply, "Because that's what I am supposed to do." There is a foundational faith required to survive in this field- I find mine through the Almighty God who gives me strength. Confidence. Others find it in their training, their connections, or themselves. But I could never consider those things a solid rock to stand on. This industry is demanding and will drain you until you have nothing left to stand on but your absolute convictions, and that's why I have chosen to be convicted of God's authority and master plan. Romans 8:25- "But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently."
What advice do you have for a prospective theatre major?
Be confident in who YOU are. No one is looking for anything more or less. Your professional career starts the moment you get here and you want to start as you- not as a reflection, dream, or hope of something more than what you are at this point in your life. (Everyone knows you are talented. That's why they chose you.) Set goals and you will attain that future "self". Here is where you receive the tools.

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said in an October 1 speech that his U.S. central bank would copy Japanese economic policy to get the U.S. economy moving, despite the fact that the Japanese economy hasn't seen significant economic growth since the 1980s.
In a speech to Arab leaders at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York on Friday, September 28, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton highlighted the economic casualties of intrusive regulations, contending that less government involvement in the economy is necessary because "too many people still can't find jobs" in countries like Libya, Egypt, and Tunisia.
The hyperbole surrounding the White House's announcement yesterday of much higher fuel economy mandates is in sharp contrast to what consumers really want.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke is expected to give his annual Jackson Hole speech on August 31 while the world waits in anticipation. They are likely to be disappointed.
In past years, the invitation-only event hosted by the Kansas City Fed in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, has been an opportunity for Bernanke to suggest future Fed policy actions. In 2010 he said that a second round of stimulus — called QE2 for Quantitative Easing Round Two — was likely, and in November the Fed began its purchase of another $600 billion of long-term debt securities.
Since then little has changed: Unemployment remains significantly above eight percent, the housing market remains largely moribund, gross domestic product remains barely positive, and consumer confidence is waning.
Top Investor Warns of "Financial Armageddon" as Soros Dumps Bank Stocks, Buys GoldWritten by Alex Newman
In what analysts say is another indication that the economy will get worse in the not-too-distant future, recent filings by billionaire financier George Soros show he dumped virtually all his holdings in major financial companies like JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, and Citigroup. His multi-billion-dollar U.S. fund also loaded up on gold, with the portfolio now holding more than $130 million worth of the precious metal.
Meanwhile, other experts like legendary investor Jim Rogers are warning of "financial Armageddon" as governments and central banks continue to print and spend currency they don't have. Some economic analysts even believe food and energy systems could collapse along with the economy in an unprecedented global calamity unknown in human history.
