Stonington —Borough Warden Jeff Callahan said Tuesday that he is working with town officials to determine who owns the property that is at the center of a dispute between pet owners who use the unofficial dog park behind the borough sewer plant and an adjacent homeowner.
Callahan said he has spoken to the town public works department about what he called the central issue — determining the property line between the sewer plant land and the house at 13 Front St.
If the property line is the home's wooden fence, Callahan said the route the dogs have been taking down to water would be on land owned by the town. But if the line is the new fence with a gate installed by the town, then the dogs' route would appear to be on property owned by Laura Ann Gabrysch and Frank Mastrapasqua.
Former Congressman Rob Simmons, whose daughter made one of the complaints Sunday about Gabrysch, said Tuesday that he has researched the deed for 13 Front St. and found that its boundaries are defined by iron pipes and drill holes in the seawall on the property. That would mean the land between the seawall and town fence is public.
As for dogs standing in the shallow water in front of the house, Callahan said that would be in state waters and open to the public. There is also a tiny patch of sand in front of the home that is exposed by the water at times.
On Sunday, police twice responded to the park. The first call came after police say Gabrysch displayed and turned on a stun device while ordering two children to get their dog off the tiny beach below her seawall. The children told their parents, who called police.
On Sunday afternoon, police were back at the park when a resident complained that Gabrysch and Mastrapasqua had placed a mixture of paprika and pet repellent on the rocks that separate the park from Stonington Harbor in an effort to keep the animals out of the water. One dog, whose owner he knows, became ill after eating the material, according to Simmons.
Police said Gabrysch did not threaten the children with the stun device but admitted to putting the mixture on the rocks.
No arrests were made in either of the incidents, but police said they issued warnings and told Gabrysch to talk to town and borough officials about their park concerns. Police also said they informed Gabrysch that state law ensures public access to waters and beaches below the high water mark. The beach area is covered by water most of the day. A sign there reads: "No Trespassing — Violators Will Be Prosecuted.
The couple, who recently moved to the borough from Nashville, Tenn., bought the house at 13 Front St. in April for $900,000.
A few days ago, someone placed a heavy-duty bicycle lock on the gate so it can no longer be opened. Because of the lock, dogs have been climbing up and down the large rocks to the water.
First Selectman Ed Haberek did not respond to questions Tuesday about how the town will address the issue.

This property is ideally located in the center of Ocho Rios just off Main Street. Just a few blocks from newer and more expensive hotels eg. Jamaica Grande and Rooms. At the height of season I paid $85 when Rooms was charging $144. My boyfrirnd described the surrounding area as rough, However it was good because you could walk to several grocery stores and get cheap rum
And beer . Also cheap food and low cost taxis are pleantiful. We had no issues but your taking a chance getting into a unknown taxi. The property has several positives. The location is great, the rooms are huge and appear clean. The view is amazing. I had a first floor unit and it was almost like I could reach out and touch the water. The AC was ice cold and the water was hot. The customer service was mostly good. The front desk people were knowledgable and helpful. The property has a rustic feel, but the rooms are fairly basic. The negatives can be easily fixed. The beds were not comfortable and the pillows were flat. There is wi fi only in the lobby. I would happily pay for wi fi to have it in my room. There are no phones in the room. Which means every time you want to ask a question you have to walk out to the lobby. If you want to call a cab or make restaurant reservation ect. you can buy a phone card and you can use the lobby phone. Makes no sense and is inconvenient. If your going to be in Jamaica for more than a few days i would buy a cell phone or bring a "jail break" Phone with You. I saw phones at DigiCell which is across the street for $25 US dollars. They could also rent phones like they do in Negril. There is no remote for the TV. Which is just annoying. There is no ice machine. Also annoying. The comforter smells musty. When the housekeepers where doing laundry I only saw the flat and fitted cream sheets in the laundry bag. I honestly don't think they wash the comforter between guests. There is a musty odor when you open the drawers. At night there is one unarmed security in front a closed glass door. There is no refrigerator, microwave or coffee maker. Basic stuff that you would see at most 2 star motels. The beach is ok, I saw some of the more well known hotels snorkeling in front of this hotel. If there were no better available options I would go back. Otherwise I would try somewhere else.

The big swinging Puerto Rican managed to drum up plenty of speculation, but in the end, the Chicago Cubs have kept their word on shortstop Javier Baez.
MLB.com's No. 7 prospect was cut by the big league club Saturday and assigned to Minor League camp, as were infielder Chris Valaika, outfielder Casper Wells and pitchers Brian Schlitter, Jonathan Sanchez and Chang-Yong Lim. Pitcher Blake Parker was optioned to Triple-A Iowa as well.
The Cubs announced prior to Spring Training that Baez -- who bopped 37 homers between Class A Advanced and Double-A in 2013 -- would begin the season with Iowa, regardless of his Spring Training performance.
The Cubs made good on that promise despite a standout performance from the 21-year-old, who hit .310 with five homers and a 1.048 OPS in 14 Cactus League games.
"It was better than last year," Baez told MLB.com. "Hopefully, next year I'll be here and stay here."
The news came a day after Baez exited a Cactus League game with a right heel contusion after stepping awkwardly on first base legging out an infield single. The injury was not thought to be serious.
The ninth overall pick from the 2011 Draft impressed the Cubs with the strides he made defensively in 2013, but with Starlin Castro entrenched at short for the foreseeable future, speculation has grown that Baez could end up at second or third base in the near future.
That buzz was fueled when Baez made a few appearances this week at second base. Nothing on that front appears imminent, though, and Iowa fans should expect to see Baez playing primarily at short, at least to start the 2014 season.
"We're sending him down to play shortstop, and that's what we told him," Cubs manager Rick Renteria told reporters.
In addition to his nearly successful pursuit of 40 home runs in 2013, Baez also batted .282 with 34 doubles, 20 steals, a .341 on-base percentage and a .920 OPS with Daytona and Tennessee.
Asked if he was disappointed by the demotion, Baez told MLB.com, "Not really. There are a lot of people here, veteran guys, so I understand."

This is a competitive renewal for the post-doctoral multidisciplinary basic science Trauma and Inflammation Research Training Program at the Department of Surgery, The Alpert Medical School of Brown University. The Program's goal is to identify, recruit, and train the next generation of Trauma Scientists with particular emphasis on retaining MDs in academic trauma medicine careers. Formal training in research involves the acquisition of the technical, intellectual, philosophical and ethical habits and abilities of the scientist. Development of these traits in the trainees is the most important goal of the Program. Faculty from the Departments of Surgery;Engineering;Neurosurgery;Medicine;Molecular Microbiology and Immunology;Molecular Biology, Cell Biology and Biochemistry;and Pathology at Brown University, and their respective laboratories, afford trainees ideal opportunities to select areas for research. The Level 1 Trauma and Burn Centers at Rhode Island Hospital provide clinical correlates for basic research. The Program is led by a Director who is advised and assisted by an Executive Committee in the selection, guidance and evaluation of trainees. A Co-Director assists the Director in the day-to-day running of the program and stands-in in his absence. An Extramural Advisors Panel assures the excellence of the Training Program. Two trainees per year are selected nationally, among residents in any branch of surgery and recently graduated PhDs. Major emphasis is placed on recruiting candidates from under-represented minorities. The Training Program lasts two years. The curriculum includes required courses in Biostatistics, Responsible Conduct of Research, and Scientific Writing, as well as elective courses tailored to the specific needs of the trainees. A faculty mentor and an Advisory Group (modeled after a PhD thesis committee and including an experienced trauma care clinician) provide direction, support and supervision, as well as a clinical outlook.on the research project. Trainees will have no clinical responsibilities during the training period. This comprehensive program provides the trainee with the technical and intellectual tools necessary to pursue an academic career in research areas related to trauma and inflammation. Relevance: Trauma continues to be a leading cause of death and disability in the USA. The Program aims to train surgical residents or recently graduated PhDs as the next generation of Trauma Scientists, capable of bringing advances in the understanding of the underlying mechanisms of "trauma disease" to the bedside and improve the outcome of trauma victims

Well, the big weekend has finally arrived and the afternoon hockey festivities are upon us!
That's right, it's Lindsay Unites this weekend. IE Weldon vs LCVI Alumni Game Day is here! All the preparations that go into this incredible event are in place and we are going to have a blast! My man, John Beukeboom,
will be dropping the puck at the 2pm Sophmore Game at the Lindsay Rec Complex. John's loyalties are somewhat divided. He attended Weldon 'back in the day' and nephew David is playing for the Wildcats but son Scott will be gearing up for LCVI... touch call but I'm pretty sure we have to throw most of our support behind "L" on this one and cheer loudest for Scott. This game will feature Weldon Wildcat heroes such as David Beukeboom (go David!), Jordon Sinclair and Scott Mcguire against LCVI Spartan faves, Scott Beukeboom (go Scottie!), Jeff DeRusha and Matt Barrett to name a few of the fellas bringing the crowds out to cheer and support this amazing event that truly brings our town together. From 4-6 there will be a Junior game, and the Seniors play from 6-8.
The event's proceeds are donated to Jumpstart, which is rather appropriate to help bring all the benefits and character that sports has to offer to kids who deserve that sporting chance.
Hope to see you there and if you do make it out, be sure to say Hi!

The Hayabusa ABS Z benefits from the Yoshimura Hepta Force "titanium" carbon tipped silencer.*
Hayabusa Overview
At the turn of the 20th century Suzuki surprised the world by introducing the Hayabusa. Over the last decade, the motorcycle has evolved while staying true to its concept - the pinnacle of high-performance motorcycles.
Its sensational power, speed, smooth ride and overwhelming presence continue to fascinate owners and onlookers alike. Because the Hayabusa is, and always will be, the ultimate sport bike.
Key Features
Brembo Monobloc Front Brake Calipers:
Lighter and more rigid than conventional bolt-together calipers. The braking system also boasts larger pistons for more powerful and consistent braking with increased initial bite and better rider feedback. Reduced unsprung weight also provides even better suspension performance.
Lightweight, High-performance ABS:
Digital ABS compares wheel speed to road speed every 1/100th of a second to match stopping power to available traction.
Muscular 4-Cylinder Engine:
A powerful 1,340cc engine provides a broad wave of really strong torque and top end power creating a phenomenal power-to-weight ratio.
Slipper Clutch:
Improves rear tyre grip and stability when approaching bends, by reducing the pressure on the clutch pack under hard deceleration.
Suzuki Clutch Assist:
Compresses the clutch pack under hard acceleration to eliminate clutch slip without the use of stronger clutch springs, allowing a lighter pull on the clutch lever.
KYB Inverted Front Forks:
Fully adjustable, the front forks feature a special Diamond Like Coating surface treatment on the fork tubes for reduced stiction, allowing them to react quicker to the road surface for better grip and rider feedback.
Slice Through The Wind:
Extensive wind tunnel testing perfectly merges motorcycle and rider to find the ultimate shape for high-speed riding to maximize the power of the legendary engine. Gives the Hayabusa its unique look, protects the rider from the wind and improves acceleration, stability and fuel efficiency.
Suzuki Drive Mode Selector:
Three separate performance settings give instant control over the power delivery to suit different sections of the road or track.

Check out this week's Danger Zone Interview with Chuck Jaffe of Money Life and MarketWatch.com.
Value investors are in the Danger Zone this week, not because value investing is the wrong approach, but because executing this strategy is becoming increasingly difficult if not impossible for most investors.
To execute a value-based investment strategy, one must truly understand the profitability and valuation of a company. This task requires analyzing the company's annual reports over the last five to ten years, at least. Even professional investors, who spend millions of dollars on and dedicate their professional lives to research, have trouble analyzing the increasingly long and complex annual reports, or Form 10-Ks, published by companies these days. Diligent research takes enormous time and expertise that most investors cannot afford.
More Needles In an Expanding Haystack
Just last week, Justin Lahart of the Wall Street Journal wrote how ridiculously long (152 pages on average) and complex filings have become. Lahart also reported that the stocks were more volatile and the earnings estimates were less accurate for companies with longer filings.
The main issue with today's filings is how companies use them to hide items that distort their true earnings.
Note that the portion of the filings dedicated to financial statements has hardly changed. It is the footnotes, Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) and other complex disclosures that have exploded in length.
Take, for example, AT&T (NYSE:T). T does not even number many of the pages in its 2013 10-K, but the filing runs into several hundred pages, above average, but not nearly the longest filing, which was Trinity Industries' (NYSE:TRN) epic 1,913 page filing. However, what T hid in its filing makes it truly dangerous.
Buried near the end of the filing, T disclosed that it recorded an actuarial gain of $7.8 billion on its pension and post-retirement benefit plans. This gain came almost entirely from the increase in the discount rate it uses for its projected benefit obligation in its pension plans, which are underfunded by about $33 billion.
If we remove this non-cash, non-operating gain, as well as a number of other non-operating items hid throughout its filing, we find that T's true after-tax profit (NOPAT) was $16.4 billion, or $1.8 billion less than its reported earnings of $18.2 billion.
Given the length and complexity of its filing, it's not surprising that investors and analysts often miss these unusual items. I recently found several bullish articles on T in the last month that refer to its unadjusted price to earnings ratio. Investors are looking for value, but without digging through hundreds of pages of financial disclosures, it's easy to be misled.
Widespread Problem
T is far from the only company that poses a challenge to investors. Figure 1 shows the ten companies with the largest difference between GAAP net income and NOPAT.
Figure 1: Companies with the Largest Difference Between GAAP Net Income and NOPAT (in $mm)
Sources: New Constructs, LLC and company filings
Figure 2 shows the 10 companies with the largest difference between GAAP net income and economic earnings.
Figure 2: Companies with the Largest Difference Between Net Income and Economic Earnings (in $mm)

True Value Investing is Difficult
My definition of a value investor is the same as Ben Graham and John Maynard Keynes:
"If you are an investor, your decision to buy and sell is based on the underlying economics of the stock you own."
- Ben Graham
"Investing is an activity of forecasting the yield on assets over the life of the asset…"
- John Maynard Keynes
The challenge today is that applying the true value investing principles as defined above requires analyzing financial reports that are several hundred pages long. Very few investors have the time or expertise to perform proper diligence.
The haystack is getting bigger and there are more needles. Making investment decisions without reading these reports is like driving a car at night without headlights. Due diligence simply must be done to make prudent investment decisions, and it must be done to fulfill fiduciary responsibilities if you provide advice.
There is no other way to get to the truth about a company's profits. Without adjusting the accounting numbers to reflect the underlying economics of the business, you cannot assess the efficacy of management or corporate strategy, and if you cannot measure that, you cannot value the business with any precision or confidence.
In my nearly 15 years on Wall Street, I met very few professional managers who appreciate this fact. Lately, as I meet advisors, they appreciate the fact but recognize they do not have time to do it.
Diligent investing is hard work. If it were easy, everyone would be doing it, because diligence pays.

Change the appearance of a control by using conditional formatting
You can set conditional formatting for a text box or a combo box control. You can change the formatting based on the control's own value, or you can use an expression to change the formatting based on the values contained in other fields or controls. On a form, you can use conditional formatting to disable a control, and you can cause the formatting of a control to change when the cursor is positioned in that control.
What do you want to do?:
*Apply conditional formatting to a control based on its own value
*Use an expression to apply conditional formatting to one or more controls
*Change the formatting of a control on a form that has the focus
*Remove conditional formatting from one or more controls
*Create alternating row colors on a report
Conditional Formatting vs. VBA Formatting
The reason I ask this is that I have a report with quite a few text boxes that currently all have some sort of Conditional Formatting on them (Not all have the same Conditional Formatting). I know that when you only have a few controls that require Conditional Formatting, the built in solution in Access 2007 should be sufficient, however when the number of controls grows and when the report has multiple records that require each control to be handled on each record, the Conditional Formatting becomes very slow (much like receiving 1000 paper cuts) and renders the report as pointless considering a user must run it for 10's of minutes to an hour to complete.
So, with that said, I am really just looking for anyone's suggestion as to whether I should invest some time in the VBA coding to do what the Conditional Formatting does, or do I just go back to the requestor and let them know that formatting all these fields is too much for the system to handle.

Conditional Formatting through VBA: On Undo
Conditional Formatting a date
I am trying to apply conditional formatting to that field so that it turns a different colour if the date is the same as todays date. I have tried using date() in both the expression, and 'is like' section of conditional formatting, but it is notpicking it up becasue of the time value.
I think I need some sort of contains, or find command, but not sure of how to do this
Conditional Formatting in a Sub Report
Basically everything works fine in Report View but conditional formatting disappears in print preview. Any ideas? (Back style is set to Normal

I'm having problems setting the format for the fore color of fields that meet the criteria in conditional formatting. I want the field to be disable. In fact I set the Enabled property for the field to No and the Locked to Yes.
I only want the Fore Color to change if they meet the criteria. But, if I set the field to enabled in the cell formatting the background changes to the back color that is alre4ady set in the formatting.
Is there a way to set conditional formatting without using the Conditional Formatting Rules manager?

Poker competitions online are quick turning into a well known venue to play poker. It is more helpful in light of the fact that you simply need to stay at home. Be that as it may, for the newcomers to this fun and energizing world, it is best to peruse and take in a considerable measure first before playing for genuine cash in poker competitions online. Why so? Since not at all like genuine gambling in casinos or anyplace else, online gambling isn't founded on chance, destiny or good fortune; recall, this is a PC program. So what do you should be effective in playing online poker? It would be founded on real aptitude and your insight into the diversion with less interest from shot.
In playing in a poker competition online, learning about likelihood and chances are expected to decide the following best game-plan. Notwithstanding, contrasted with another round of expertise which is blackjack, poker is somewhat harder on the grounds that there are more players and their objective is to dispose of the others where as in blackjack, the player just needs to beat the merchant. So figuring the chances and likelihood to make a triumphant hand in online poker is much harder.
To reliably win poker competitions online, learning for a fact is essential. At that point, you should have a legitimate methodology arranged out. The technique you would utilize would rely on you and what you are utilized to. Be that as it may, for fledglings here is a methodology to utilize. It is not full verification or nitwit confirmation, but rather it is a basic and simple to utilize system for amateurs.
What you would do depends on the course of events of the amusement; in light of the fact that as a tenderfoot, you would do not have the information and experience to construct a procedure with respect to that. Most importantly, before all else of the diversion we have one objective just, to survive. For the initial few visually impaired levels, you should do nothing more than be inactive; don't be excessively avid. Be patient and sit tight for good hands which are high card sets of ace, ruler, ruler, jack and ten. Either that or suited expert and ruler or lord and ruler, don't play the hand. The following part of the amusement, wherein around 5 or 6 individuals are abandoned, the time has come to switch into a higher rigging and be forceful. This does not mean playing each hand, again you should pick precisely. Hands with a decent risk of winning are pair hands. Be patient and develop your chip stack. At the point when there are under 5 individuals left, the blinds would in all likelihood be an issue for those with littler chip stacks. This is the reason you need to develop your own particular chip stack first before this happens.
It is imperative for amateurs to learn and pick up experience first before entering poker competition online. Reliably winning these competitions would require more than only fortunes as ability and information is the key. Keep in mind to be patient and begin off little utilizing this technique and gradually work into molding your poker abilities into title shape and win a poker competition online.

X-Bionic Energy Accumulator Extra Warm 3/4 tights
The Energy Accumulator EVO range – the latest generation of high-tech baselayers – is particularly suited to activities that involve high levels of exertion in cold conditions.
- Two-Step Front 3D-BionicSphere System: The high-tech mesh knitting technology ensures optimal grip and climate comfort in the shorts. The different ribs and varying surface construction are able to solve the conflict between providing support whilst transporting moisture and heat.Innerlap AirConditioningZone: The inner thighs are less reactive to the cold in terms of muscle performance. This is where the Innerlap AirConditioningZone is placed. It is a fine network of knitted fabric with the zero insulation function
- .ExpansionKnee: A knee can be bent up to 160 °; however, most undergarments can't withstand this stress without being pulled thin and, hence, resulting in a loss of functional insulation. In contrast, the accordion-like construction of the ExpansionRibs retains its insulating properties rather than losing them. A highly flexible system of chambers and channels spreads open with each movement, releasing the warm air stored inside.
- AirConditioning Channel: 30% more fresh air. The AirConditioning Channel is a ventilation system of channels that wrap around the body, continuously carrying away moisture and warmth. It allows air to flow to body regions not normally accessible by fresh air circulation.
- Improved InsulationPads on the upper thigh: Assist in the retention of heat in the thighs. Under-cooled muscles are susceptible to injury, and highly under-cooled muscles can feel numb. Even more dangerous is when the cooling slows the muscle reaction time, leading to the increased threat of muscle injuries and risk of accidents. This increase can be as much as 60% in the case of skiing, for example. InsulationPads reduce such risks. Shaped like waves, their protection lies over a large surface of the most superficial thigh muscle, thereby retaining the necessary heat next to the body to maintain muscle performance.
- AirConditioning Spot: The back of the knee perspires quickly and heavily. A fine, circular knitted fabric has been incorporated there. Perspiration dissipates and is pushed outward with the aid of body warmth so there is no risk of over-chilling.
- 3D-BionicSphere System at the tailbone: Perspiration from the lower back is transported for evaporation via the 3D-BionicSphere System on the tailbone.
- AirGuides: Work like spacers and borders along the AirConditioning Channel.
- Partial Compression: A new benchmark in compression technology. Partial Compression utilizes the advantages of compression without neglecting cooling.The results are revolutionary: reduced muscle oscillations; improved muscle uptake of oxygen and nutrients; faster recovery.
- Enlarged ISO-Pad: In winter, targeted insulation of individual body parts guards against ambient coldness can prevent the body from freezing. This is why ISO-Pads over the hipbones and the more subtle ISO-Pads on the buttocks retain body heat that is necessary to guarantee interior organ functionality.
- SkinNODOR: a particularly soft yet highly robust and exceedingly comfortable yarn with exceptional temperature-optimising properties, which help maintain the skin's natural bacterial environment and prevent the build up of perspiration odour.
- Mythlan: this is a very lightweight high tech fibre that prevents the growth of odour and bacteria, is anti-allergenic and highly breathable. The lightness of the Mythlan fabric means that air can circulate freely and affords superb temperature regulation. It goes without saying that a modern material like Mythlan is easy to care for and colourfast.

Councils are facing a crisis in social housing stock as soaring numbers of homes are sold under Right To Buy, experts say.
Local authorities sold 31 per cent more social housing between April and June this year than in the same period in 2013, Government figures published today show. The rise follows a succession of Government incentives to make it more attractive for tenants to buy their council homes.
Social Housing can now be sold at a discount of 70 per cent of its value, with a capped saving of £77,000 across England and £102,700 in London boroughs. The discounts have been causing many councils headaches as they struggle to find the funds - or time - to replace the sold stock.
Catherine Ryder, head of policy at the National Housing Federation, said: "We support measures that help people buy their home, but not at the expense of affordable housing for those in need and languishing on waiting lists. As these figures show, the discounts on offer now are very high, over £100,000 in London, meaning homes are sold at a price that makes replacing them very difficult. Right to Buy needs to be urgently reformed to make sure every home sold is replaced by a new affordable home, otherwise the consequences for the next generation could be severe."
She added: "There are already nearly 1.7 million people on local authority housing waiting lists across England. Selling off the homes we do have at a price which leaves very little to replace them is making this problem worse. While the Government has promised that every home sold will be replaced, the current figures show this is clearly not happening."
An estimated 2,845 homes were sold under Right To Buy in the second quarter of this year, up from 2,171 in the same period in 2013. A third of these sales happened in London, where some councils have found they are so short of homes they are having to rent back the properties they recently sold.
The problem of ex-council homes being rented out after people used the policy as a buy-to-let scheme became so acute in Camden that the council even tried to ban it.
In Harrow the council now pays more than half a million pounds renting back homes that it has sold under Right To Buy. Councillor Glen Hearnden, Harrow Council's portfolio holder for housing, said: "It is an expensive irony that the much lauded Right To Buy has ended up as a financial straightjacket for Harrow residents. It really does not make sense to pay huge amounts of money to private landlords for houses we used to own.
"We haven't built a council house for the past 23 years, which has further intensified pressure on our housing stock with the London rental market going through the roof. But we are putting right a quarter of a century of stagnation with our proposals to build new homes and regenerate our estates.
He added: "We lose twice with the Government scheme, we lose the property from our stock and then we pay to rent it back. It all adds up to our residents suffering. It feels like we are fighting the fires caused by an overheating housing market whilst the government is stood on our hose pipe."
The average payment received per home in the second quarter of 2014 was £74,000 up from £60,000 on the previous year. This is in the context of rapidly rising house prices, which were up more than 10 per cent year on year in June 2014. In London homes increased in value by an average of almost 20 per cent.
Housing and Planning Minister Brandon Lewis, said: "The reinvigorated Right to Buy is both increasing housing supply and reducing waiting lists, as every additional home sold is now being replaced with a new affordable home for a new social tenant. Overall, the housing stock grows and more people are being housed. Critics of Right to Buy are enemies of home ownership, and fail to appreciate the wider benefits of helping people move on and up the housing ladder.
"So far, Right to Buy sales have generated £420 million in receipts to be reinvested in new affordable homes, and council house building starts are now at a 23-year high. More council housing was built in London last year than all 13 years of the last Government."Reuse content

22 comments on "The Use of Gold Dinars and Silver Dirhams GOES VIRAL!"
Just for a piece of "no-info info";
On the show [272] there was a guy promoting physical p2p networking.
On this program they spoke about Bitcoin (me love) but also about
I had shelved a project of mine, to build a brazilian style open fisher boat, becouse i couldn't find a fabricater that could work with me.
As it turns out; (ofcourse I asked the fabber if he knew Max Keiser… (i wanted to pay w/ bitcoins) … no he never heard of him. The way this site is set up is that the manufactorer of 3d (3 and 4 ax) milling machines kept track of the buyers of these machines.
I'm linked to these machines (and opperator) through this site. Absolutely perfect!
And it is trew; these machines are setup in someones garage and they make small series of customized stuff. Perfect!
I just picked up foam blocks. I'm now making a box to transport the foam in. Fact is, this fabber is located on the otherside of the country… that's p2p for ya, i guess ;D…
Thanks again M&S (+crew) and Michel Bauwens.
P.S. I think the boat next door, that i'm going to wash for bitcoins, is getting internet soon. I think I saw a comcast guy there today.
Keep up the good work!
Great to see these lovely coins preserved in pristine condition, housed in their little canisters. They are little works of art in themselves!
@ Alastair Carnegie
Coins are always more valuable in trades in SE Asia, and I dont mean they fetch more money, but they are preferred to bullion, as is jewellery. So in a sale if you have bullion and the other bidder has these coins they win, because coins are preferred
The spot prices are also different, and so are the grades.
You will not be able to use them outside Se Asia, but they mght be worth more money, and I mean their sale value in US Fiat $ etc. They have an artistic and collectors value unlike bullion.
@ All
two extremely interesting articles by "Dave" … with so much food for thought !!!
Si Senior Soros. Coin Seigniorage Not Inflationary.
…"Most of the time Dave simply listens to George Soros and expects him to do the opposite of what he says. George has been making the rounds attempting to convince the curious that the end has come for the Eurozone. George's solution to the problem is an SPV or Special Purpose Vehicle driven presumably by Senior Soros. It would allow the Eurozone to float bonds while allowing for a workaround of the Lisbon Treaty. What could be better?
Well, unless your the citizens of the Eurozone and you're planning on loading your gold onto the vehicle designed with the special purpose of driving away with your pseudo-sovereign wealth, I would suggest that you don't endorse this plan. If the "This Time Is Different" meme applies to George's latest plan, then is Dave suggesting that we do the opposite of George? Not exactly. Dave is suggesting you bone up on the distinction between Federal Reserve Notes issued by the Fed and coins issued by the U. S. Mint.
You see Senior Soros is suggesting that the Euro license their seigniorage rights over to the SPV. Who would ever think that there is a distinction between coinage seigniorage and Federal Reserve Note seniorage? " ….

Brian Sacajawea
"…What is Dave digging at here? Senior Soros comments on the impending collapse of the Euro nations and his suggestion of a special purpose vehicle that separates the European Central Bank from its seignoirage really got Dave's attention within the context of Bitcoin. You see, if Bitcoin is used to solve the double coincidence of wants for convenience items (let's say the money you spend purchasing gas and a Starbucks and a bit-o-honey candy bar) then it could be established within the realm of "coinage" rather than as a Federal Reserve Note (or dollars). Why would this matter? It would matter big time when you're talking about Seignoirage because since coins are issued by the U. S. Mint rather than by the Federal Reserve the seignoirage accrues to all the people which has great political appeal." …..

Great Cost of Living Chart
If I live another 30 years. I would need 360 dinars (1,530g or 49.2 ounces) of Gold for rent.
And 2 dirham a day for food = 21,900 dirham (65,152,5g or 2,095 ounces) of Silver for food.
Silver in Perspective
Once upon a time (pre 1970s) we had silver currency in England called shillings, florins, half-crowns and crowns. Those were the days! Decimilsation was cover for a currency collapse I tell ya. o.O
So now I want to go to a Persian restaurant, have the salmon shishkabob, and watch the Kanuta woman do her thing.
Maybe they take silver!
Dang it Max! You'd make Stacy cover her beautiful (and mutant hair) if it raised the price of silver, wood-n-cha?
I saw this video on another blog … I wanted to copy a post from there, of a person who lives in Singapore.
"I'm sorry
Im a young stacker in my 20s
Live in Singapore
And does not see anything close to what was described
We start accept dirham and dinars?
Tell that to majority of the population and they dont even know what is a dirham or a dina"
So, things are not what they appear to be it seems.
These ladies seem to have liberated themselves from paper currency economic bondage, so when will they throw off the oppression of the head scarves?

—-So, things are not what they appear to be it seems.—–
Yeah, probably! 😀
I only see about 2500 views after 3 days. Urban dictionary doesn't give any specific numbers but it seems 'viral' would be more than a couple thousand views in a couple days??

Yep .. 100% correct .
Posted that here many years ago.
You can now buy "real money Crowns, Shillings, etc." as a memento on Ebay … "real money memories" !
I can't imagine going to Malaysia. The women are just so damn ugly. It's a country where everyone looks like a computer geek.
Where to get these in Europe at good rates?
On what started off as a quiet newsless day, my heart is now doing somersaults of joy!
This is the reason why.
Jack Straw sued over illegal rendition of Abdel Hakim Belhadj
By prolonging sanctions and the oil for food programme during the Iraq war, it is reported that, this evil and degenerate human being and puppet of the devil worshipping cabal, was jointly responsible for the deaths of around 1.5 million Iraqui people including 500,000 children under the age of 5.
Justice at last! TONY BLAIR next…. Plea…..ase!
Muslim dirhams and dinars are a growing physical currency trend that the SLA/GLA 100% supports. Ask Muslim merchants if they accept dirham and dinars? -and if they do not identify with said physical currency show them what one is. Explain to Muslim merchants your reason (wars, criminal banks, derivatives, 0% reserve currencies, inflation, IMF country takeover) to use dirham and dinars over fiat currency. Explain how a physical currency protects people and their sovereign country from an IMF takeover.
Muslim merchants can set out signs that say they accept dirham and dinar.
I am a big believer in mint coins because coin weight, shape (diameter/thickness) and overall features can be measured to assure authenticity. -A big deal when gold is so $$$$ -and maybe a good reason to choose silver $$ over gold.
If every good Muslim started stacking dirhams and dinars today these physical wars and financial takeovers would end today. If the Libyan people stacked more I would like to think Quadaffi/Gov would have been less of a takeover target for globalists. By having your money/values in fiat you are supporting the financial terrorists who have an unlimited printing capability to support their criminal causes.
People, what the Hell is Max talking about!!! I live in Singapore. There is nobody using anything apart from Singapore Dollars to purchase things here. No shops accept these silver and gold coins. Besides, buying them still requires a 7% GST. I like the idea of accumulating physical gold and silver, but there is a fine line between fighting for your course and outright lying!!!!!!!

These kinds of comments are just uncalled for. The first is racist and the second just appalls me for its sheer lack of awareness and understanding that the ladies choose to put on those head scarves, and whether or not you believe in the ideology or agree with the religion that requires them to do so, they have absolutely every right to put it on and cover themselves as much as the so-called 'liberated' western women have the 'right' to expose themselves on the streets.
gman: those women CHOOSE to wear their headscarve and they seem happy & proud to wear it. banning the hijab in countries like France & such when they preach for FREEDOM of religion, now THATS an oppression

'A story should have a beginning, a middle, and an end... but not necessarily in that order.' - Jean-Luc Godard
A balcony at night. A man sharpens a razor blade. He observes a small cloud moving towards the full moon. The head of a girl comes into view, her eyes wide open. The cloud moves across the moon. The razor blade slices open the girl's eye.
Thus begins Un Chien Andalou (An Andalusian Dog) and the film career of Luis Buñuel. It is one of the most startling images in any film, and still retains the power to shock, over 70 years later. Made under the influence of André Breton's Manifesto of Surrealism (1924), and co-conceived with the artist Salvador Dali, its series of unconnected incidents was intended to follow the logic of a dream: ants emerge from the palm of a disembodied hand (an archetypal Daliesque image); priests are pulled along the ground; dead donkeys lie on two pianos. Although the film defies logical explanation, its rich supply of images from the unconscious can be read as a study of repressed sexual impulses.
Un Chien Andalou - the title is unrelated to anything in the film - was one of many avant-garde classics of the first part of the 20th century, most of them drawing from the other arts but retaining the specificity of cinema. There remained a strong experimental streak in films running parallel to the commercial cinema until the late 1960s, after which there was a sharp decline.
A few decades ago, the names of Luis Buñuel, Robert Bresson, Carl Dreyer, F W Murnau, Sergei M Eisenstein, Dziga Vertov, Abel Gance, Jean Renoir, Jean Vigo, Federico Fellini, Alain Resnais and Jean-Luc Godard, who worked in relatively "mainstream" cinema, could stand beside such diverse icons of modernism as Pablo Picasso, Marcel Duchamp, Arnold Schoenberg, Walter Gropius, André Breton, James Joyce, T S Eliot, Piet Mondrian, Jackson Pollock, Oscar Niemeyer, Bertolt Brecht, Karl-Heinz Stockhausen and Samuel Beckett.
It should be remembered that the birth and growth of cinema was almost immediately parallel to the birth and growth of modernism in the other arts. Film is generally at its best when it recognises its roots in modernism, ie when it rejects conventional notions of realism, disengages from bourgeois values, and questions the primacy of narration.
From the beginning of cinema, film artists working in the new medium understood that its strength was not in straight narrative, something literature or the theatre could do better. While commercial cinema, especially Hollywood, continued with the conventions of 19th-century literature and theatre by producing illustrated novels and "opened out" plays, modernists looked towards non-narrative film form, or considered narrative as secondary to style. They disturbed the accepted continuity of chronological development and attempted new ways of tracing the flow of characters' thoughts, replaced logical exposition with collages of fragmentary images, complex allusions and multiple points of view. They resisted the commercial film in favour of "art cinema", to equal the other arts in seriousness and depth.
As early as 1918, the French poet Louis Aragon wrote that "cinema must have a place in the avant-garde's preoccupations... if one wants to bring some purity to the art of movement and light". Riccioto Canudo, the Italian-born French critic, argued in 1926 that cinema must go beyond realism and express the film-maker's emotions as well as characters' psychology and even their unconscious. The formalist possibilities of cinema were expounded by the French "impressionist" film-makers and theorists Louis Delluc and Jean Epstein, and underlined by the montage theory put into practice by the great Russian film-makers in the 1920s.
Sergei Eisenstein, who wanted to film James Joyce's Ulysses, theorised and demonstrated his "montage of attractions", one of collision, conflict and contrast, with the emphasis on a dynamic juxtaposition of individual shots that forces the audience to come to conclusions about the interplay of images while they are also emotionally and psychologically affected. Eisenstein, whose dynamic montage reached its apogee with October (1928), believed, quoting Karl Marx, that "the bourgeoisie created the world in its own image. Comrades, we must destroy that image", a credo that Jean-Luc Godard echoed and practised 40 years later.
From the early days of the cinema, primarily in Europe, artists working in other forms were happy to contribute to the new art. Film, which Eisenstein envisioned as a "synthesis of all the arts", had become the new gesamtkunstwerk. The theatre guru Antonin Artaud, who appeared in Gance's Napoléon (1927) and in Dreyer's La Passion de Jeanne d'Arc (1928), wrote the screenplay for Germaine Dulac's La Coquille et le clergyman (The Seashell and the Clergyman, 1928). Now considered the first surrealist film, it was refused a certificate by the British censor because "if the film has a meaning, it is doubtless objectionable".
In 1924, René Clair's Entr'acte, an exercise in pure cinema, was conceived by the Dada painter and poet Francis Picabia, who appeared in the film alongside Man Ray, Marcel Achard, Erik Satie and Marcel Duchamp. In the same year, Marcel L'Herbier's L'Inhumaine was a veritable catalogue of contemporary French art. Each set was created by a different designer - Fernand Léger, Claude Autant-Lara, Alberto Cavalcanti, Robert Mallet-Stevens - and the film featured music by Darius Milhaud and dancers from the Ballets Suédois. Jean Cocteau was 41 when he made his first film (Le Sang d'un poète, 1930) and already famous as a poet, novelist, playwright, designer, painter, stage director and ballet producer, having fulfilled his promise to Serge Diaghilev, who had challenged him: "Etonne-moi!"
"Art cinema" included such movements as German Expressionism, Russian Constructivism, Surrealism and Dadaism. Avant-garde artists such as Man Ray, Hans Richter, Fernand Léger, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, Oskar Fischinger and Walter Ruttmann all made films influenced by Cubism and Abstraction.
In the 1940s, a period of experimental film-making began in the USA. Maya Deren's Meshes of the Afternoon (1943) was one of the first independent American Underground films, a movement that later, though rooted in the European avant-garde, was strongly connected to the Beat movement. In the early 1950s, younger directors such as Stan Brakhage emerged, working in a similar mode.
The French nouvelle vague directors took advantage of the new technology - fast film, lightweight camera equipment - that enabled them to shoot in the streets with hand-held cameras and a small team. They deconstructed conventional narratives by using jump cuts, improvisation, and quotes from literature and other films. Alain Resnais rejected a chronological structure completely in L'année dernière à Marienbad (1961).
The most influential of the writers of the nouveau roman in the late 1950s, Alain Robbe-Grillet, who wrote the screenplay for Marienbad, and the novelist Marguerite Duras, screenwriter of Resnais's Hiroshima mon amour (1959), went on to direct their own very personal films, playing with time and the incongruity between sound and images.
Towards the end of 1960, the New American Cinema Group was formed, inspired by the French nouvelle vague, favouring films that were "rough, unpolished but alive". Many, such as Jack Smith's Flaming Creatures (1963), embraced Hollywood even as it defied its narrative traditions. The mode for campness was exploited by the films of Andy Warhol in films such as Blow Job (1963) ,and Kenneth Anger's Scorpio Rising (1964). Michael Snow, in Wavelength (1967), attempted to redefine our way of seeing by exploring new time and space concepts.
However, the experimental elements of the nouvelle vague soon became assimilated into mainstream film. Many of the technical and conceptual advances of Italian, Czech, British and other New Waves were transformed into film-making clichés. The American Underground had also all but vanished by the 1970s. It seemed as though realism, which had dominated film for decades, had finally triumphed over formalism.
According to the Hungarian academic and critic Bence Nanay, "the films of Antonioni, Godard and Resnais are, strictly speaking, narrative films, but more importantly, they represent a fragile balance between non-narrative avant-garde films and narrative films. This fragile balance disappeared by the beginning of the Seventies. On the one hand, not only Hollywood but also the so-called European art-house cinema produced conventional, non-avant-garde narrative films; on the other hand, some non-narrative, uncompromising but hard-to-distribute experimental films (by Steve Brakhage, Michael Snow etc) were being made at the periphery. The middle ground vanished."
What remains of experimentation in film today? One of the most original living directors is the 98-year-old Manoel de Oliveira. Modernists such as Godard, Jacques Rivette and Jean-Marie Straub are over 70. Among the younger generation attempting to challenge aesthetic norms, usually by means of the extremely long take, are Hou Hsiao-hsien (59), Alexandr Sokurov (53), Bela Tarr (49), Pedro Costa (47), Bruno Dumont (46) and Jia Zhang-Ke (34). But where are all the names that would have tripped so easily off the tongue pre-1968?
Now, at the beginning of the 21st century, we are increasingly seeing the avant-garde abandon the cinema for the gallery - a shift made possible by the digital revolution. It is becoming necessary to redefine film without reference to its previous conditions of existence, by reference, not to the narrow context of the history of cinema, but to the wider field of art history. This is demonstrated in a show at the Centre Pompidou in Paris called Le Mouvement des Images: Art et Cinéma, which offers a rereading of contemporary art from a cinematic point of view, by covering the history of avant-garde and experimental cinema, shown in continuous projection on the gallery walls.
Peter Greenaway recognises that films are not seen in the same way as they used to be, and that "films go to people nowadays rather than people go to films". Taking advantage of the new age of communication and a new young audience familiar with the multi-images of the internet, Greenaway's The Tulse Luper Suitcases sometimes splits the screen into fragments, and introduces texts and talking heads into the wider frame in the manner of CNN on television.
A few years ago, the French director Chris Marker, always an innovator, made a CD-ROM called Immemory, only playable on Macintosh computers. Composed of stills, film clips, music, text and fragments of sound, it is over 20 hours long and can be viewed in many different ways. Both Marker and Greenaway are attempting to come to grips with this new way of watching films, and it might eventually bring into being the first masterpieces of this new age, keeping alive some hope that "modernist" cinema will be resurrected.
The film historian Ronald Bergan's Eyewitness Companions: Film (Dorling Kindersley, £16.99) is out now Le Mouvement des Images: Art et Cinéma is at the Centre Pompidou in Paris to 29 January The Luis Buñuel retrospective continues at the National Film Theatre, London SE1, to 28 FebruaryReuse content

'Bob Dylan Hair' Shows Up in Black Keys Divorce
Divorces are never pleasant, especially when you have to wrangle over who gets the money, the car, the house and ... that wad of Bob Dylan's hair. No, seriously. That's something Black Keys frontman Dan Auerbach and his ex-wife recently fought over in court.
Bob Dylan's Maligned 'Self Portrait' Album Gets Reissued
'Self Portrait' isn't Bob Dylan's best album. In fact, the legendary singer-songwriter admits that he made the 1970 LP to anger fans in an attempt to get them off his back. Now a collection of covers and live cuts from the era will be reissued as part of a remastered four-disc box that also includes the original record, which a critic at the time called "s---."

"All Along the Watchtower" Bob Dylan Version- Song Facts And Info
The year is 1968. It was a terrible time for America. Vietnam was at an all time high, Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated, Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated, and it was just a bad time. Three men saved the year, The Apollo 8 mission in December. However, other than the astronauts music came to the rescue too. Bob Dylan released an all time classic in November of 1968, "All Along The Watchtower". It's our spotlight today with the Guitar Pic At Six.
Bob Dylan Reveals New U.S. Spring Tour Dates
After the release of his thirty-fifth studio album 'Tempest' last September, Bob Dylan spent several months out on tour bringing his critically acclaimed live show to the masses.

100 Copies of Bob Dylan Outtakes Record Released to Circumvent Copyright Laws
A set of 86 Bob Dylan outtakes from 1962 was discovered on shelves in European record stores last year. But while albums of unreleased Dylan are nothing new -- 1969's 'The Great White Wonder' is considered to be the start of the bootleg industry -- this is actually an official release, albeit in a limited edition, rare for an artist of Dylan's stature.

A Tribute to the Soo Line
If you are a fan of the Soo Line, you'll love this video! Since the Canadian Pacific Railway took over the Soo Line in the early 1990's, it has become a rare sight to see Soo Line locomotives leading trains, especially on original Soo Line tracks. Most Soo locomotives were being sold or repainted, while others were reassigned to service in Canada. C. Vision Productions has captured the images of these red and white locomotives in, "A Tribute to the Soo Line." Our crew traveled the original Soo Line on the Paynesville Subdivision from Glenwood to Minneapolis, Minnesota to capture the Soo locomotives leading trains. We also followed the Soo on the old Milwaukee Road main line following the Mississippi River from St. Paul to River Junction. Five main locomotive types from the Soo Line are featured in this program. Venerable SD 40 dash 2's, GP 38 dash 2's and GP 40's can be seen pulling freight through the rolling prairies of Minnesota, along with the larger SD 60's and SD 60M's. We even see Soo Line cabooses still in use on way freights and locals! Each train is also identified by its symbol. Don't miss "A Tribute to the Soo Line," as it is one of the last videos to show you these original locomotives in charge of moving commodities across the upper Midwest. Copyright 2000, C.

Agora Excavations 1931-2006: A Pictorial HistoryBy: Craig A. Mauzy (author), John McK. Camp (author)Paperback
1 - 2 weeks availability
DescriptionIn 2006, the American School of Classical Studies at Athens celebrates seventy five years of archaeological work in the Athenian Agora, the civic center of classical Athens. Since the first trench was dug on May 25th 1931, excavations have continued in a series of yearly campaigns, only briefly interrupted by the Second World War. The impact of the discoveries made on our understanding of Athenian history and topography is well-documented, but relatively little has been published about the fascinating history of the Agora excavations from the clearing of one of the most densely settled areas of Ottoman Athens at the start of the enterprise to the reconstruction of the Stoa of Attalos twenty five years later to house the finds. This book fills that gap, presenting a pictorial history of the project illustrated with many archival photographs. Rather than taking a simple chronological approach, the authors focus on some of the greatest contributions of the American School's work, such as the reconstruction of the Church of the Holy Apostles from 1954-1956 and the painstaking work involved in re-building the Stoa. Each section of photographs is preceded by an introductory text, and there are a number of maps and diagrams placing the images in context.
