5 Ways To Blow His Mind In Bed
He'll be the one who wants extra snuggle time after you try some of these moves.
-Amber Madison
Have a new guy? Need to spice things up with an old one? Want to bust out something extra special for his birthday? Or maybe you just feel like going the extra mile tonight? Whatever your reason for wanting to treat your man, here are five ways to blow his mind in the bedroom.
1. Talk dirty.
They say that a man's most erogenous zone is his brain. This means, it really is more important for you to blow his mind than blow his…well, you know. The quickest way to bring him into the moment and add passion to your sex life is to start talking dirty. Don't know what to say? Just start by talking about what you want to do to him, what you are doing to him, what you love doing to him, how good it feels or what you want him to do to you.
2. Play With "The Boys." Few girls will tell you that balls are their favorite part of a guy's body. But like them or not, the majority of guys find it pleasurable to have them played with. Whether you're going down on him, on top of him, or underneath him, go through the trouble of reaching your arm around to play with the boys. He will be VERY appreciative.
3. Hop on Reverse Cow Girl. Nothing spices it up like trying a new position. A popular one that many guys call "the hottest thing ever" is reverse cowgirl. Reverse cowgirl means that you're on top, but flipped around. So you're straddling him on your knees, but facing his feet instead of his face. A little side note: He's going to have a full on view of your bootie, so if you're a groomer, you probably want to be pretty well groomed. This position is very revealing. (Which is part of why it's so hot!)

The Crap We Missed – Thursday 7.12.12
Welcome to Thursday's The Crap We Missed that promises not to look the other way if you tell it you saw kids getting raped in its showers. (Yep, still on that.) Anyway, I saved my favorite shot from The ESPY Awards just for my crap peoples, Stephen Dorff lines up an evening that will be way better than yours, and while U.S. reality television shat out Snooki, France produced Nabilla Benattia. For shame, America. Also, almost forgot this photobomb from a Magic Mike photocall that couldn't make me harder. Laugh harder! — I meant LAUGH HARDER!

The Molesters stayed in port today. I remain unable to grasp the depravity we witnessed in yesterday's kill.
If you have not already seen the video from the November 13 Cove Guardian update, take three minutes now to view it. Be prepared for unimaginable horror.
On November 8, 2010, the Dolphin Resort Hotel received several dolphins from the Taiji slaughter. We have this video, taken by Libby Katsinis, of a dolphin being loaded into a tank. Show this to your friends who like to patronize dolphin shows. Think of this when you visit the annual IMATA conference in Boston this year. Let their members try to tell you this is an aberration. It is not. We regularly witness this type of behavior.
Video credit:Libby Katsinis (3 minutes)
Much has been said lately accusing my daughter and me of being racist. It is a coincidence that the word "Japanese" pertains to a particular ethnicity (race), but it also pertains to the citizens of the nation of Japan. When we use the word Japanese, we are referring to the citizens. I am not aware of any instance where either Elora or I have referenced the Japanese race. Those who have no other argument while they are supporting atrocities, which the government of Japan condones and encourages, are leveling the charge of racism. Because of the Japanese government's support for the barbaric and uncivilized activities against whales and dolphins, the entire people (read citizens) of Japan must bear the shame and the world's condemnation. When Sea Shepherd takes on the baby seal skinners in Canada, no one charges "racism." They are Canadians, and all Canadians must bear the shame and the world's condemnation for the government sponsored seal hunt.
This battle is not about a people or their culture. This is about sanity, our collective sanity. This is about the fact that our oceans are dying and we are allowing the destruction of wild and free creatures who have rights, at least equal to our own, to peacefully co-exist in the world.
Even those who do not subscribe to our position that dolphins and whales are non-human persons, would never support the entire annihilation of a family unit. Deer hunters in North America and kangaroo hunters in Australia know better than to slaughter the entire herd. Even without government regulations, they would have the sense not to do that.
Those who only see the dolphins and whales as a food source, no different than a chicken or a cow, would not tolerate such barbaric torture and slaughter of livestock. When video was leaked of cattle in US slaughterhouses being moved along by means of a forklift, the hue and cry was immense. Changes were made and all over the world; civilized governments enforced strict codes of conduct for abattoirs. Civilized parents do not intentionally poison their children with mercury-contaminated food.
There is no argument, none, which can support the senseless cruelty we witness here on a regular basis. Japan is an otherwise advanced and civilized nation. Why does the government support this behavior and why do the (Japanese) citizens allow it?
stone dolphin (click to enlarge)To borrow a line from South Park's parody of Sea Shepherd, I have to ask why the molesters in Taiji hate dolphins so much? When David was here with his children, he used rocks on the beach to make a dolphin figure. Yesterday, the molesters were not content with shedding the blood of dolphins. They destroyed the rock dolphin as well. This act did not sit well with Glenda so she has rebuilt the stone dolphin.
In addition to Japanese companies, find out which companies support the dolphinariums. Contact those companies and let them know what they are supporting and how you feel about it. Let your conscience be your guide on whether or not you will buy from them.
If you are in Boston in early December, let these molesters know what you think about them. Get their photographs so the world can be shown the faces of those who drive the slaughter and imprisonment. The annual IMATA conference is in Boston this year.
Keep up the barrage on your own government and the embassies and consulates of Japan the world over. Every time dolphins are pushed into the Cove, let them have it. Every time there is blood in the water, let them have it. Do not grow weary for you are being heard. Together we will see an end to the slaughter of whales and dolphins in Japan and by Japanese crews the world over.
We had to say farewell today to Cove Guardians Dinielle and Rosie. They will be missed. Rosie is leaving Taiji so she can join the crew of the Steve Irwin and continue her fight against Japanese atrocities.
It is unfortunate that the reputation of an entire nation is being tarnished by the evil and shameful deeds of a handful of men and women in Taiji. To join us (voluntarily, and completely at your own cost and risk) in Taiji, write to me at firstname.lastname@example.com. I will get back to you, but please be patient. I cannot keep an eye on the Cove and answer email at the same time. Contributions to Sea Shepherd to keep our official presence here are needed and welcome. I am the current official Sea Shepherd representative and will be replaced by Michael Dalton when I leave on December 9, 2010.
For the Oceans,
Scott WestSea Shepherd Conservation Society
The Blog Log:My daughter, Elora Malama West, has been with me here since day one and keeps a blog of her experiences. Current Cove Guardians Tarah, Heber, and Rosie and Dinielle are also keeping blogs. Future Cove Guardians Carolyn, Steven, Bob and Carrie and William have started blogs about their endeavors.

Glenn Beck Misleads on Guns, Stoking Confiscation Fears
Blog ››› ››› CHRIS BROWN
Last week, Glenn Beck's website falsely suggested that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and Explosives' (ATF) Study on the Importability of Certain Shotguns will result in making certain shotguns illegal. In reality, there is little more to this story than Beck advancing another false narrative about President Obama and guns.
Following the lead of RedState.com, Beck's website The Blaze hyped a post titled "Could your shotgun soon be outlawed? Maybe, if the ATF has its way." The article warns that the "implications for all guns are chilling."
The ATF study expressly identifies its purpose as establishing the criteria used to determine importability. A determination of importability is required before a foreign gun manufacturer can import a gun into the United States. Nowhere in the study does the ATF suggest they're preparing to declare shotguns illegal, an action that could not be done using the importability statutes.
The ATF's proposed actions will have no impact on the domestic production or availability of any American-manufactured shotguns. Changes to what shotguns can be imported into the United States would not make any shotguns illegal to own, so owners of shotguns have nothing to fear.
Beck also discussed this story on his Fox News television program. From the April 18 edition of Fox News' Glenn Beck:
Beck: Redstate's reporting today and you can bet that it's got [Obama regulatory official] Cass Sunstein's fingerprints all over it, that the ATF is now seeking to limit firearms, to limit firearms based on their definitions of the of what is appropriate for sporting use. I didn't even think that sporting use was even a consideration for the 2nd Amendment. Firearms for sporting. Who would have seen that one coming when the bill of rights was written
Since the 1968 passage of the Gun Control Act (GCA), "sporting purposes" has been used to define what firearms can be legally imported. It's also been used to legally classify firearms since 1934. As the study explains, "sporting purposes" relates the importability of firearms in this instance and would not result in a ban of the shotguns in question.

THE wish for a five-Test series against South Africa might have been a trifle over-optimistic. Unless Australia can arrest the Proteas' dominance, three Tests will be more than enough, thanks.
Sometimes mistakes and obstacles can limit a team's ascendancy. For most of Sunday, they served to accentuate it. Already stripped of a day and a player, South Africa batted with little urgency, going collectively into what might be called Jacques-mode, meandering along in a contented little bubble, apparently unaware of their surroundings. By the end of play, the gap in experience and confidence between the teams had done much to nullify this, and the Proteas have the advantage. But it came almost in spite of themselves.
Australia's improved bowling, a blustery wind and helpful conditions did some of the work, but South Africa's loss of Hashim Amla told a story. The Australian pacemen had started well, bowling a fuller length and exploiting some lateral movement, and were unlucky not to find a wicket. James Pattinson's outswing repeatedly turned Jacques Kallis inside-out, and had an important effect on the mood, convincing him that batting was going to be tougher.
Fortunes shifted when Amla, struck on the pad by Peter Siddle, was the victim of an iffy decision as umpire Asad Rauf erred in giving him out to a ball passing over leg stump.
Kallis, so fluent on Friday, was lost in his own world on Sunday. Many questions have been asked about the gap between his statistical record and his reputation. Why is he not exalted like Sobers, or even Botham? His batting reaffirmed why. As so often, he chugged along at his own pace. Changes in the match left him unaffected.
It is unfair to be critical of a man who scores 147. But the reputations of the great cricketers are made not on their statistics, rather on their competitive impact and ability to seize control of a match.
By the time Australia batted, it seemed not to matter anyway. South Africa's confidence in its bowlers provided a cover and perhaps a reason for its dilatory batting. Vernon Philander went past the edge more in his first over than the Australian new-ball attack had done in an hour. Dale Steyn was a pleasure to watch for everyone but his opponents, and removed an edgy David Warner.
Rob Quiney has at least looked the part of a Test cricketer, batting like a man determined to stomp all over his nerves with vigorous strokeplay. There would be a fine line - a metre or two up or down or side to side - between hooking a sweet six off Morkel and being caught on the rope. Quiney's luck fell on the wrong side of that line. But what a nice nine it was! And Quiney did appear comfortable. His challenge now is to keep believing.
He and his teammates would have learnt something on those lines from the bright partnership in the last hour between Ed Cowan and Michael Clarke. It is an unusual day when the dominant team loses its way and the underdog shows all the zest and attack, but that is what happened. The last session, an invigorating contest between bat and ball, was easily the best so far and would have given Australia hopes of making South Africa regret its timidity.

Browne could KO Overeem!!
Browne could KO Overeem!!
After such a big loss that's a dangerous fight for Overeem to come back to.
Another loss seriously hurts his future & Browne is tough enough to be throwing back.
If Browne had beaten Bigfoot this may have happened sooner.
I agree though, seriously risky fight.
No riskier than JDS, who he was supposed to fight this weekend.
Fighting, writing and mood lighting.
hope travis remembers not to throw any wild kicks this time.
If Travis keeps his head like Bigfoot and Overeem gets cocky and keeps his hands down, theres a great shout he'll chin him.
Depends which Overeem turns up.

thank you very much my friend i wodner why this isnt a sticky probably people are to lazy or afraid to try this much madness haha
Hey guys,
(Preword: I checked through the forums to see if any have this info to no avail. If this is a repeat, please let me know)
This is merely a bit of info on how to prepare to and finish an install of BackTrack on a Macintosh (running 10.5.x, should work for 10.4.x too) that already runs dual boot with Windows and with no loss of data. I ran into the problem of my Windows XP not booting after I added the partition for BackTrack. You must have enough free space on your primary drive for use in delegating to the BackTrack partition. This is not a complete install guide, as there are more than plenty of those online. I just never found anything specific to my case.
I'm running 10.5.6 on a 2.5GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4GB of RAM. It's also a 9L31a build, which you can find by going to the Apple Menu, selecting About This Mac at the top, and then clicking the gray version information located just below "Mac OS X".
You can also determine your make with the following command in backtrack:
Code:root@bt:~# dmidecode -s system-product-name MacBookPro4,1
Usual disclaimer: Nothing is perfect and few things are consistent in the computer world. Your results may vary, so do whatever you need to so as to ensure you won't permanently lose important data. This guide WILL be rearranging the data on your hard drive.
So, if you already have Windows XP installed via Bootcamp or whatever and want to add a bootable partition for any BackTrack, you need to follow these steps:
Install rEFIt...
rEFIt is a bootloader that will facilitate booting from different partitions... in essence, it gets rid of the need to hold "option/alt" or "c" while restarting and is much more flexible.
You can find this everywhere online. And if you cant.... well...........
Create a partition for Backtrack: open up Terminal in OSX
The "diskutil list" command will show your current partitioning scheme.
Code:~al$ diskutil list /dev/disk0 #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: GUID_partition_scheme *186.3 Gi disk0 1: EFI 200.0 Mi disk0s1 2: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD 119.4 Gi disk0s2 3: Microsoft Basic Data 70.5 Gi disk0s3Now you have to split your Mac HD partition into two, the other one for Backtrack. Mine is "disk0s2" in this case, and it should be for yours as well assuming you have followed previous instructions. The reason you need to split the Mac HD is that Windows MUST remain as the last partition.
Now resize the volume
Code:~al$ sudo diskutil resizeVolume disk0s2 <the size you want your Mac HD to be> "MS-DOS FAT32" Backtrack <the size you want your Backtrack partition to be>NOTE: The two sizes must add up to the shown size of disk0s2 in the "diskutil list" command performed earlier. Otherwise, it will take priority of the size of the first disk.
for example:
where 114.4G + 5G = 119.4G = size of disk0s2Code:~al$ sudo diskutil resizeVolume disk0s2 114.4G "MS-DOS FAT32" Backtrack 5G
If you run into any errors, you may either have to check the sizes you listed or defragment your Mac HD before resizing. I use iDefrag for that: shifting all the data to the beginning of the block. If interested, I can tell you guys to make a MacOSX bootable USB Flashdrive or HD with use of iDefrag (you need the full version)
Install BT and configure your lilo.
What happened: after you re-partitioned your mac, Windows was assigned a new partition label. It became disk0s4 instead of remaining as disk0s3. Now Windows has NO IDEA from where to boot. If you try booting Windows now, you'll get the "Blue Screen of Death" after just a few seconds. If you try 'Safe Mode' for booting, you'll see windows searching "(3)" for all the boot files. That's the 3rd partition. The solution is quite simple actually.....
Go through any install method for BTx (x for any version) you wish until you configure your lilo.conf file. I used this forum post to aid my installation, thanks to steve_baker:
Now this is where the fun starts!
After editing it to your delights, merely add in an extra section at the end:
Then install lilo as directed, usually a command like:Code:other = sda4 label = Windows table = sda
Modify the fstab and install it.Code:# lilo -v -b /dev/sda3
Now shutdown your computer, wait a few seconds, and reboot into Backtrack.
Configure your Mac for Triple Boot.
When the rEFIt menu comes up, select Backtrack for booting. Now all you need to do is edit your "boot.ini" of Windows.
After logging in you need to mount your windows drive for editing.
Go to your mounted windows driveCode:# mkdir /mnt/windows # mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/windows
Now edit your boot.ini to boot from the right partition.Code:# cd /mnt/windows/
All you have to do is change all instances of "3" to "4", and then write the file. With this, you're telling Windows to boot from the 4th partition, since you shifted the partition table to include Backtrack. If you feel uncomfortable doing this, feel free to save a backup copy of the boot.ini by writing it as a different name, like "boot.ini1" before changing the numbers.Code:# nano boot.ini
Restart, and select Windows within the rEFIt menu. All three operating systems should now boot without a problem, and all data should be untouched.
edit:: clarification of code and sentence syntax fixes
thank you very much my friend i wodner why this isnt a sticky probably people are to lazy or afraid to try this much madness haha
I aint crazy just a lil mistaken
thank you for your nice tutorial. Is refit absolutely necessary? I am quite comfy with holding the option key at boot time to pick my OS. The other problem is that I've installed refit a number of times and cant seem to get it to show up at boot time. So I'd rather not use it if I dont have to.
ok so i got refit to work (had to manually bless the folder). but i noticed you dont create a swap partition. or is that part implied in the BT install or does ubiquity automatically do that??
Hi P1llow T@lk,
I followed your "Triple Boot" instructions and also used macpentester's: "Installing BackTrack 3 Final to an Intel Mac" for the actual details of the BT3 installation, however, after several days of trying I still cannot get my BT3 partition to mount or boot
Now I should mention a little about my Mac's hardware. I don't know if it makes a difference, but here are the details:
MacPro 3 GHz Quad Xeon 64 bit with 2 GB RAM
1. 250GB primary: Mac volume with OS X 5.7, Windows XP and Backtrack 3
2. 500GB: OS X 5.0 (haven't had a chance to update it to 5.7 yet)
3. 1TB: Carbon Copy clones of the 250GB and 500GB Mac volumes
This is my output from Terminal's "diskutil list" command after repartitioning my drive using your procedure (which works a lot better than trying to do it with Disk Utility):
0: GUID_partition_scheme *232.9 Gi disk2
1: EFI 200.0 Mi disk2s1
2: Apple_HFS MacPro 250GB HDD 195.8 Gi disk2s2
3: Microsoft Basic Data 5.1 Gi disk2s3 <--This is the BackTrack 3 partition
4: Microsoft Basic Data WINDOWS XP 31.7 Gi disk2s4
Now there's one strange thing about how my drive/volume names are showing up when I use the "diskutil list" command in Terminal... My primary (250 GB) drive changes arbitrarily after a reboot. In the above output it is showing up as /dev/disk2/, but right now (a few days since the above capture) it is showing up as /dev/disk0/ which matches the drive/volume name in your instructions. I haven't done anything to the drives, but the name changes for some reason. Also, rEFIt was working automatically on boot up for the first time yesterday, and now it does not launch on boot up (I have to hold the option ket to get it to work again). So it seems that OS X's boot management software might be (?) acting strangely, and I don't know if this quirky behavior is in some way responsible for the BackTrack partition not showing up...
A little more background on my installation attempts. I had tried to install BT3 a few times unsuccessfully earlier because (for reasons I don't understand) the BT3 Live CD iso would stop (freeze ?) during the installation and I would have to reboot from the ISO and start all over again. The freezes are happening arbitrarily (at random times) during the installation so it doesn't seem to be a CD problem, but I did finally manage to get the entire installation process completed on the partition I created with your method, and I made sure to erase the partition completely (zero out) before doing an installation. Additionally, I modified the Windows boot.ini file, but I did it by simply rebooting into OS X and opening the mounted Windows drive on the desktop and then opened the boot.ini file with OS X's TextEdit and made the changes that way. However, I checked to see how my change worked using your procedure from within BackTrack using nano boot.ini after mounting the Windows partition and it showed up OK with all the 3s changed to 4s.
Anyway, here are a few questions relating to some parts of your instructions:
1. Near the end of your Triple Boot procedure where you describe how to modify the "lilo.conf" file, you say "...merely add in an extra section at the end:" Then you give the 3 additional lines to add. Now I modified my lilo.conf file (as per macpentester's instructions) when I was doing the installation of BackTrack 3, but it's not clear exactly where "at the end" you mean... Is it right AFTER the "label = Linux" line, or AFTER the last line of text that shows up in the nano lilo.conf screen that says something like "#End of file".
Here is how my lilo.conf file is set up:
boot = /dev/sda3
image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = /dev/sda3
label = BT3
So, do I add these 3 lines you listed:
other = sda4
label = Windows
table = sda
right after the "label = BT3" line (e.g.: before the line that says something like "#End of lilo file" or what ?
2. You also say "Modify the fstab and install it"... After Googling "fstab" I found out that "fstab" is a file, and I managed to find this fstab file in the same /etc/ directory as the lilo.conf file... However I have no idea how it should be modified, and what I need to do to "install" it... Can you fill me in on some details here so I can make whatever changes are needed to this file.
Lastly, a few more details on what I have now. If I examine my 250 GB primary drive using Disk Utility I see the volume I created for BackTrack as "disk0s3" in grey letters. If I try to mount the volume I get the following error message:
Mount failed
The disk disk2s3 could not be mounted.
Try running First Aid on the disk and then retry mounting.
Lastly, when I "option" boot my Mac, I am getting all my drives/partitions showing up, including a colorful Windows icon and also a grey Windows icon that says something like "Boot from Legacy OS". I assume that this "Legacy OS" is supposed to be my newly created BackTrack 3 installation, but if I try to boot from it, I get booted into my Windows partition again. So I'm guessing that the "boot.ini" file is not redirecting the boot process to the BackTrack partition (?)...
Hopefully you can provide some clarification on your installation instructions and some ideas on how I might try to get this to work....
Thanks for your time !
Hey there,
Sorry for the late replies; I had no knowledge of additional posts on the thread.
First things first, I should have included my Macbook Pro make. I'm including this in the original post as well. You can determine your make with the following command in backtrack:
It's also a 9L31a build, which you can find by going to the Apple Menu, selecting About This Mac at the top, and then clicking the gray version information located just below "Mac OS X".Code:root@bt:~# dmidecode -s system-product-name MacBookPro4,1
@ bwana:
rEFIt is a very nice tool: it has a graphical interface, allows syncing, and facilitates booting/managing multiple OS's. If you don't like the additional boot time, you can do what I did:
Edit the refit.conf file in your efi folder on your hard drive, and make sure to include timeout:
This gives you 5 seconds to push a key before automatically booting to the default.Code:# Timeout in seconds for the main menu screen. Setting the timeout to 0 # disables automatic booting (i.e., no timeout). # timeout 5
In this tutorial I do not create a swap drive. The Macbook MBR only supports 4 primary partitions, one of which is initially reserved for the system partition. Skipping the swap drive prevents overcomplication. The reason is nicely explained in
where I also learned this information. It goes on to mention how to create a swap partition if it helps you sleep better at night, but I don't see how it's necessary
@ Apple-Z
First off, where exactly are you installing backtrack? Is it on your macbook itself, or is it one of your external hard drives? At first glance, it seems to me that your bootloader (rEFIt) has no idea where backtrack is actually installed. If your partitioning scheme keeps renaming itself, there's no wonder why you're having problems booting. Regardless, i've responded to your inquiries as numbered according to your "Help installing BT3Final.ISO to 3rd partition of Mac OS X" post. I hope it helps:
1. At the end of your lilo.conf file you will have a list of all operating systems that lilo needs to handle. So, immediately after your linux section, put in a line break (for clarity purposes), and add in those 3 lines
2. For my lilo file i've always used "space=space" between boot and /dev. I am not saying this is the right way, i'm just telling you what worked for me. As for the sda3 or sda question.... it depends on where you made the partition in the installation process. Yours should probably read:Code:other = sda4 label = Windows table = sda
3. For the fstab question, refer to:Code:lba32 boot = /dev/sda root = /dev/sda3
Make sure to choose the correct partition number and type, of course.
Lastly, what rEFIt is trying to show you with the "Boot from Legacy OS" along with a grayed windows icon is that there is an unknown operating system detected. It seems to me that this means your lilo.conf of fstab isn't pointing to the right partition. Try referring to the 'link' i posted in 3 to make sure you set up your lilo and fstab correctly.
Good luck and let me know how far you get.
Oh, and thanks for all the positive feedback! If you guys have any more questions, feel free to ask.

BELLFLOWER — A preliminary hearing was postponed Wednesday for a Long Beach transient accused of using a baseball bat to bludgeon a 74-year-old man to death at a Lakewood Walmart.
Richard Lawrence Kalfin, 47, had pleaded not guilty to the Nov. 1, 2011, slaying of David Oakleaf.
He was due to appear for a preliminary hearing, in which the court decides whether there is sufficient evidence to proceed with trial, but the matter was postponed amid questions of Kalfin's mental competency.
The accused will undergo a diagnostic review before returning to the Bellflower Superior Court on Aug. 31, when it will be determined if he is fit to stand trial, court staff explained.
Kalfin is charged with first-degree murder and an allegation that he personally used a dangerous and deadly weapon in the attack. The criminal complaint also alleges the defendant has a prior conviction for arson from 2005.
At the time of the slaying, authorities said the deadly beating appeared to be a random and unprovoked attack.
Witnesses at the scene said Kalfin went after Oakleaf apparently after asking for money outside the store. However, homicide investigators said at the time there was no evidence the two men had ever met prior to the killing.
The accused allegedly selected an aluminum bat in the sporting goods section and attacked Oakleaf inside the store, causing massive head trauma. He was arrested the day of the attack, after Lakewood Sheriff's deputies arrived at the Walmart at 2770 Carson St., which had been evacuated.
If convicted on all counts, Kalfin faces the possibility of 57 years to life in prison, according to prosecutors. He has been held since his arrest in lieu of $1.08 million bail.

I'VE BEEN out for some trout, at last. The mayflies are about, and the next couple of weeks should see some huge hatches taking place – and some giant trout landed.
There's something about these big mayfly hatches that prompts trout to gorge themselves. Fish that would otherwise refuse anything that wasn't placed directly on their nose get a bit giddy, and vortex their way across the river towards an artificial resembling a slightly-reduced Sopwith Camel.
My own efforts were successful, though not in terms of out-sized fish. My first aim of the year when I return to river trout fishing is to find my casting rhythm, and that came back quickly. No-one was more surprised than me. And then I caught a few fish.
If you've never tried traditional river fishing for trout, it really is one of the most absorbing ways of casting a line. There are rules to follow, some defined by the local clubs and others by years of tradition that go back to men like Frederic. M. Halford and G. E. M. Skues who, in the late 19th-century, defined the ways we fish for the spotty species. But these rules are part of the fun.
On the Cotswold rivers, including the one I fished last weekend, one non-negotiable is the direction of the cast. You can roll it, flick it, mend it and wiggle it, but it must go upstream. The style of fly used is as much a matter for those controlling the beat as it is the fisherman. For some, the fly must float. Others permit a nymph, fished sub-surface.
I'm a fan of both, but have to say that the thrill of a trout rising with confidence to a well-drifted natural fly is as enjoyable as anything in our sport. And so I'll be out again soon, with a box full of mayflies for company. Facing upstream, of course. It will keep me busy until the carp lake re-opens.
On the subject of carp, news has just reached me of a young angler landing a 39-pounder from the South Cerney Club's Franklins Lake. Not only is it a terrific achievement for the lad, but it is good news for local anglers, too. After the fish losses I reported on last year, news of 40-pounders – or fish so close to the magical mark that it hardly matters – is very welcome indeed.

Voices of Practitioners: Teacher Research in Early Childhood Education is NAEYC's peer-reviewed, professional online journal. Its main purpose is to provide a vehicle for publishing the research of early childhood teachers, who are often underrepresented as authors in the educational research arena. This publication includes informative articles, resources, and tools to promote the participation of early childhood teachers in teacher research.
In teacher research, teachers engage in the systematic study of their own practice. Deeply involved in the daily lives of children and their families, teachers provide a critical insider perspective through publishing their investigations and reflections on life in their classrooms.
Teacher research is important to the early childhood profession. Teachers grow more competent when they examine their questions about teaching and learning, reflect with colleagues, and make improvements in their teaching practice. Their research benefits the early childhood field by contributing to the knowledge base on how young children develop and learn and by providing insight into the role of the teacher.
We are currently seeking submissions. See the manuscript guidelines to submit to any of the sections.

|Indians. Building improvements conveyed to tribe.
|Sec. 2

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the Secretary of the Interior at the request of any Indian tribe, band, or group is authorized to convey to such Indian tribe, band, or group, by such means as he may deem appropriate, title to any federally owned buildings, improvements, or facilities (including any personal property used in connection with such buildings, improvements, or facilities) that are situated on lands of such tribe, band, or group or on lands reserved for the administration of its affairs, and that are no longer required by the Secretary for the administration of Indian affairs. Any tribe, band, or group to which property is conveyed pursuant to this Act may dispose of such property whenever its governing body determines that the property is no longer needed for its use. If, at any time while property conveyed pursuant to this Act remains in the ownership of any Indian tribe, band, or group, the Secretary of the Interior determines that such property is not being adequately maintained or properly utilized by such tribe, band, or group or that the property creates a health or safety hazard or other undesirable condition, he may declare a forfeiture of the conveyance and the title to such property shall thereupon revert to the United States.

Fox Claims That Declining Minimum Wage Is "Growing Exponentially"
Fox Business correspondent Nicole Petallides criticized President Obama's proposal to raise the minimum wage to $9 per hour with an exaggerated claim that ignores the decades-long declining trend in the real value of the minimum wage.
Petallides misleadingly claimed on Fox & Friends that the minimum wage "really has grown exponentially" by citing increases since 2007 and that business owners say raising the minimum wage "would probably hurt business and raise unemployment":
In fact, the minimum wage's purchasing power has seen decades of decline, and despite increases [1] phased in from the Fair Minimum Wage Act of 2007, is still below the value it had in the late 1960s. The New York Times reported [2] that "the federal minimum wage has failed to keep pace with inflation in recent decades." And Bloomberg explained [3] that the value of the federal minimum wage dropped from 1967 through 2010 even as its "nominal figure climbed to $7.25 an hour." The Bloomberg article included the below chart depicting the drop:
The Economic Policy Institute noted [4] in its latest edition of The State of Working America that this decline in the value of the minimum wage meant that "low-wage workers, despite being older and better-educated than in the late 1960s, had a lower wage floor. The weakness of the minimum wage is more apparent when noting that in 2011 it was just 37 percent of the typical worker's hourly wage, while in the late 1960s it averaged about half the typical worker's hourly wage"
Additionally, contrary to Petallides' suggestion that it would lead to more job losses, economists have found that raising the minimum wage would [5] not [6] negatively affect employment.

|The Maker Movement Manifesto
|Rules for innovation in the new world of crafters, hackers, and tinkerers
MENLO PARK, Calif.
, September 21, 2013 --
Mark Hatch, CEO of TechShop, a membership-based, do-it-yourself (DIY) workshop and fabrication studio, is announcing at World Maker Faire New York (New York Hall of Science, Sept. 21-22) his new book, The Maker Movement Manifesto, (McGraw-Hill Professional; Hardcover and eBook formats: $26).
Hatch is one of the leaders of the Maker Movement as CEO of TechShop, which provides access to a vibrant community of creative people and more than $1 million worth of high quality machines, tools and software. TechShop members have made everything from robots and a lunar lander to successful iPad case and craft businesses. He and his team are literally democratizing creativity and innovation.
Hatch will be giving a book reading of The Maker Movement Manifesto at Maker Faire New York on Sunday, September 22, 2013 at 10:30AM, followed by a book signing immediately afterwards.
The Maker Movement Manifesto is for all the makers, hackers, crafters, and social and economic entrepreneurs leading the Maker Movement trend. Hatch describes the remarkable technologies and tools now accessible (and affordable) to the masses, and shares stories of how ordinary people have devised extraordinary products, giving rise to successful new business ventures. He shows how people can make create new products, bring about positive changes in society, and make money.
Hatch describes the powerful drivers of and the early results from the economic and the social development of the movement, identifies the major trends and enablers that are at work and are catalyzing a rapid change of our world. The book details the path of self-reliance, creative risk, and bootstrapped innovation and ultimately equips individuals to help solve the globe's most intractable problems. In fact, Hatch issues a clarion call to "double down" on our collective commitment and investment to innovation as the best and most likely path forward to solving the world's greatest problems.
About the Author
Mark has appeared on national media including ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, Bloomberg, CNN and Fox, among others. He has been quoted in publications including Bloomberg BusinessWeek, Fast Company, Inc, Forbes, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Washington Post, and more.
Recently, the San Francisco Business Times presented him with a "Bay Area's Most Admired CEO Award." Fast Company recognized him in its "Who's Next" column, and TechShop received the EXPY Award, given to the "experience stager of the year."
Hatch is a sough-after speaker and consultant on innovation, advanced manufacturing, and leadership and has spoken to groups from GE, Ford, P&G, ExxonMobile, Kraft, and other Fortune 500 firms. He's presented at universities including UC Berkeley and Harvard, as well as events such as TEDx, The Clinton Global Initiative, the Council on Foreign Relations, and Singularity U.
A former Green Beret, Hatch held executive positions focused on innovation, disruptive technology, and entrepreneurship at large and small firms alike. At Avery Dennison he launched Avery.co and then helped to drive global technology business development. At Kinko's, he launched the eCommerce portion of Kinkos.com and ran the computer services section at Kinko's stores throughout the U.S. As COO of Health Net's health benefits, he helped to launch one of the early integrated health benefits portals.
He holds an MBA from the Drucker Center at the Claremont Graduate University and a B.A. in Economics from the University of California at Irvine.

It makes me so irritated when people say "I did X, Y or Z and my baby was born fine"! (X,Y and Z being smoked, drank, did drugs, ate or drank something harmful etc) What is the official definition of a baby being born "fine"? If a baby just looks "fine" is that ok? If the baby was born with a weak heart that won't be detected until later in life is that "fine"? If the child later develops ADHD because of something that was done in the womb is that "fine"?
A lot more is determined in the womb than just how the child will appear on the surface when they are born. You are building the heart, lungs, kidneys and brain of this child that they will use for their ENTIRE life. Why take the chance with anything that might put your future child in danger? You are not just growing a baby, you are growing what will soon be a child and then adult. What you are doing now WILL affect you child for a lifetime!!!
Yes I do realize that you can do everything right and still have a baby born with something wrong. But wouldn't you feel better knowing that you did everything you could for that little person. It's only 9 months of your life but it's your baby's lifetime!

GSA Acting Administrator Bibb Elected Chair of Access Board
GSA Acting Administrator Bibb Elected Chair of Access Board
March 24, 2006
Contact: Andrew Gibbons, (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) announced today that GSA Acting Administrator David L. Bibb has been elected as Chairman of the United States Access Board. The U.S. Access Board is an independent federal agency that serves as the coordinating body for government-wide efforts to ensure accessibility for people with disabilities.
"I'm honored and humbled by the Board's decision," said Bibb. "I look forward to working with my Board colleagues as we strive to help provide assistance to all persons with disabilities."
The Access Board works with other federal agencies to directly represent the public. The Board is divided evenly among the private and public sectors. Half of the Board members represent federal agencies, while the public sector is represented by citizens – the majority with disabilities – nominated by President George W. Bush.
According to the Access Board, it "develops and maintains design criteria for the built environment, transit vehicles, telecommunications equipment, and for electronic and information technology. It also provides technical assistance and training on these requirements and on accessible design and continues to enforce accessibility standards that cover federally funded facilities."
James R. ("J.R.") Harding, II Ed.D. was also elected as vice chair of the Board. Harding was nominated to the Board by President Bush in 2002, and replaces Bibb as vice chair, who was previously serving in that position. Find more information at www.access-board.gov.
GSA is a centralized, federal procurement, property management, policy development and information provision agency, created by Congress to improve government efficiency and help federal agencies better serve the public. In this role, GSA acquires products and services on behalf of federal agencies; plays a key role in developing and implementing governmentwide policies; provides services and solutions for the office operations of more than one million federal workers; and encourages a citizen-centric relationship with government by providing a single "point of entry" to the information and services citizens need in a timeframe they can appreciate. This allows citizens to receive accurate, timely and consistent answers and information, and helps federal agencies better respond to citizen inquiries.

Judging by the rising number of independent restaurants sourcing natural products, the year-round farmers' markets that are popping up and the growing exposure of "Local First Utah," buying local was the hot theme for the holidays, which couldn't be a better gift for local artists and food producers.
According to Local First, a non-profit organization that promotes independently owned businesses in the state, spending just 10 percent more at local businesses would keep $487 million in the Utah economy each year.
The study by Civic Economics revealed locally owned retailers return 52 percent of their revenue to the local economy while national chain retailers return just 14 percent of their revenues.
But buying local isn't good only for the wallet, it's often much better for the environment and for your health.
Think about it, why eat bananas that were shipped thousands of miles away to Utah when there are so many fruits that grow readily here, including apples, peaches, strawberries, cherries, raspberries and more.
Eating an apple that is locally grown not only supports the farmer who cared for it, but cuts down on the amount of fuel used to ship it, packaging and so forth.
Buying local also encourages people to eat more seasonally, which is a crucial but often overlooked element of health.
People have a tendency of getting into a food rut, eating the same breakfast, going to the same lunch establishments and eating the same go-to dinner almost every week.
Eating seasonally encourages more variety in the diet and fits in better with nature's cycle. It's natural to turn to watery, cooling foods in the summer and heavier, stick-to-your-ribs meals in the winter.
Buy local and winners abound all around.
So here is my challenge for you, starting now through February. Let's see how local we can all get, shall we?
Think local as you buy your apparel, food and other needed items. Even if the raw products aren't local, supporting independent artists is a great way to give in two directions, to the recipient of the gift and to the artist.
Buy produce that is local from farmer's markets that continue in the winter. Other venues, such as Cali's, Mololo Gardens, Earth Goods General Store, Wasatch Front Farmer's Market store, Liberty Heights and Caputo's all carry locally made goods and local produce and meats. Even larger chains, such as Harmon's, Smith's and Whole Foods are carrying more and more local items.
We'll leave the definition of local up to you. Generally, anything made in Utah can be local, but some staples, such as spices, might not be locally made. However, you could buy from a local vendor or craftsman. Coffee might not be grown locally but we have several great independent roasters you can support, sugar isn't grown locally but we have great independent local bee keepers whose products can be used in place of sugar.
If you need resources, Local First is a great place to start to find products. Get the move going by letting me know the challenges and findings that come your way and the efforts you are making to embrace going local.
More than anything, have fun with the challenge, there is no telling what great findings you'll make in your own backyard!

WE recently lost our rabbit, Ronnie, after months of intensive care.
The Society for Abandoned Animals gave no end of help to us and gave our lovely Ronnie the most fantastic send off when he could fight no more.
They made the afternoon so special and it will be one that we will never forget.
When we arrived they unveiled a lovely plaque which they had mounted at the entrance to the reception area.
On this plaque was a lovely sketch of Ronnie which will be a reminder to us all of such a lovely character.
Seeing this will make everybody smile when they walk past and remember this cheeky character.
After the unveiling, we planted a lovely shrub and lit tea lights as a further reminder to the never ending memory of Ronnie.
To end the afternoon, we were taken on a tour of the new bunny unit which is almost finished but which, without the support of the local people of Trafford, would not have been possible.
I do hope that people will go along to the events at the sanctuary and help them to continue their fantastic work for the community. They work tirelessly to help the abandoned animals in their care and can only do this with the help and support from all of us.
I will never forget my day, especially knowing that there will be permanent reminders present for all to see of the care and dedication by the volunteers and staff at the sanctuary.
The way they made the burial of our last rabbit such a special event will be something that we will never forget.
This is my way of saying thank you for that very special day, to all of the volunteers and staff who make it such a caring environment for all those animals.
If ever an animal rescue deserved the support it is this one. Keep up the good work.
Christine Williams, Trafford

TGIF--Time to laugh 2
Posted 07 June 2006 - 11:40 AM
.......it's butt.
"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results." Albert Einstein
I've been hit by mrsspookypants
Posted 07 June 2006 - 11:45 AM
At a recent computer expo (1996 COMDEX), Bill Gates compared the computer industry to the automotive indusrty by stating: "If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving cars that cost $25.00 and get 1,00 miles to the gallon."
In response to Bills comment, General Motors issued A press release making the following statement: "If we (GM) had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics:
1) for no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice per day.
2) Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.
3) Your car would occasionally stop on the freeway without reason. In order to get started again, you would have to pull off to the side of the road, close all the windows, shut off the car restart it and open all the windows again. For some unknown reason, you would simply do this without question.
4) Occasionally, executing a maneuver, such as a left turn, would cause your car to shut down and refuse to resart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.
5) Only one person could use the car at one time unless you bought "Car95" or "CarNT", but then you would also have to buy more seats.
6) The new seats you would need would force everyone to have the same size butt.
7) You would press the "start" button to shut off the engine.
8) The oil warning light, water warning light, and alternator warning light would all be replaced by a single "Unidentified System Error" light.
9) The air bag would ask ur freshly mangled body "are you sure" before going off.
10) Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you back inuntill you simultaneously lifted the driver side door handle, turned the key, and grabbed the radio antenna.

80% held up their hands. The Minister then repeated his question.
All responded this time, except one small elderly Lady.
"Mrs. Jones? Are you not willing to forgive your enemies?"
"I don't have any." She replied, smiling sweetly.
"Mrs. Jones, that is very unusual. How old are you?"
"Ninety-eight." she replied.
"Oh, Mrs. Jones, would you please come down in front & tell us all how a
person can live ninety-eight years & not have an enemy in the world?"
The little sweetheart of a lady tottered down the aisle, faced the
congregation, and said: "I outlived them."

So Satan opens the first door. In the room there are people standing in cow manure up to their necks. The guy says "No, please show me the next room".
Satan shows him the next room and this has people with cow manure up to their noses. And so he says no again.
Finally, Satan shows him the third and final room. This time there are people in there with cow manure up to their knees drinking cups of tea and eating cakes.
So the guy says, "I'll choose this room". Satan says O.K. The guys is standing in there eating his cake and drinking his tea thinking, "Well, it could be worse", when the door opens. Satan pops his head around, and says "O.K. tea-break is over. Back on your heads!"

McDonald's Advice to Its Workers: Get Second Job
(NEWSER) – McDonald's has a new budgeting tool for its employees, but the advice on "Practical Money Skills for Life" is pretty laughable, critics are pointing out. The site, a partnership with Visa, is supposed to help these low-wage workers learn how to manage their money, ThinkProgressreports, but instead it illustrates just how hard—if not impossible—it is to get by on an average of $8.25 an hour. For example, the sample "budget journal" suggests workers have a second job, and even then budgets only $20 per month for health insurance (the average cost for an independent individual plan is $215 per month, and the company's own plan for full-time workers is $14 a week)—and exactly zero dollars for heating.

Clinical depression can have devastating results so it is a condition that should be taken seriously and treated in a timely manner.

Have you been feeling more down than normal? Have you been feeling less energetic and noticed changes in your sleep and appetite? Is it sometimes difficult to stay focused? Are you easily agitated? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you may be suffering from depression. Sometimes depression can develop in response to a particularly stressful life event, and other times, depression can be a re-occurring issue for certain individuals. I assist clients in tapping into their own individual potential and strengths. If you are looking to find meaning and healing in your life, achieve life goals, and improve your relationships with others, then call today for an appointment.

It has been proven time and again that talk therapy improves, stalls, or halts depression. For much more information contact me today! I will be happy to consult with you free over the phone.

18515 Statesville Road #C-01, Cornelius, North Carolina 28031
The Experiential model for working with and through depression is focused on the treatment outcome of developing client's strength, autonomy, capacity for change, and self-compassion. The experiential process is structured for the client to gain awareness to thoughts, feelings, and behaviors separately but at the same time in the present "here and now" activity or task; the client is thereby able to recognize a holistic sense of "being" in the moment and improve emotional control of negative emotions like anger, shame, and fear.
Kevin Gyoerkoe, Psy.D.
8832 Blakeney Professional Drive Suite 105, Charlotte, North Carolina 28277
If you're suffering from depression, you're experiencing sadness, loss of interest and other painful symptoms. Effective therapy can help you bring back joy to your life, to find vitality and hope once again. Therapy can reduce or eliminate the symptoms of depression and help you discover the keys to preventing these symptoms in the future. If you're feeling depressed, the good news is therapy does work and you can get back to being you again. You'll notice an increase in energy, peace and happiness returning, and a sense of meaning and purpose developing once again. There is no reason to suffer--seek help and find joy in your life once again.
Leslie McKenna, M.S., L.P.C.
Licensed Professional Counselor
254 9th Ave Dr. NE, Hickory, North Carolina 28601
In treating depression, clients are instructed in the concept of neuroplasticity and how they can influence neural firing so that life affirming thoughts and emotions are re inforced in the brain by what clients do with their awareness. All clients are instructed in meditation skills or centering prayer to foster neural integration and improvement in well being and mood. Clients are instructed in the relationship between thoughts and emotions and are given skills to practice between sessions to impact their mood in a positive manner.
Lonnie Mullet, MA, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor
1905 JN Pease Pl, Suite 101, Charlotte, North Carolina 28262
My approach to depression depends greatly on the presenting problem as people become depressed for a variety of situations (anxiety, stress, existential/meaning, grief ). After assessing & evaluating a course of treatment with the client, treatment may involve cognitive behavioral therapy, relaxation techniques, Logotherapy to explore life's meaning, or perhaps an exploration of spiritual depression. Of course, if the depression is judged to be major depression referral to a physician's for medical intervention may be explored.
Blake Clemmons, MA, LPCA
Licensed Professional Counselor Associate
Matthews NC 28105
My approach to helping those struggling with depression is to offer a supportive environment of acceptance where one feels free to share their pain. I primarily use a Cognitive/Behavioral approach. In this approach I work with my clients to help them learn how to increase activities that have given them joy, such as calling a love one on the phone, going on a walk or bike ride in nature and decrease activities that make depression worse such as substance use or watching too much TV. I also collaborate with my clients to help them identify and challenge their automatic negative thoughts about themselves, and replace those negative thoughts with positive and adaptive thoughts and beliefs.
Natalie Huston, MA, NCC, LPC
Licenced Professional Counselor
1126 Sam Newell Rd, Suite A, Matthews, North Carolina 28105
Depression often has biological, emotional, and relational components to it. It is important to address all of those for maximum care. There are very practical ways to address the biological/physical manifestations of depression. Determining how the brain is involved in the depression is important. How the body is functioning plays a significant role. Emotionally, there may be experiences or dynamics that need to be sorted through by addressing how the past affects the present well-being, and the dynamics of how we relate to self and others, and the depression. Being connected in healthy relationships is also an important part of healing. We look at the whole picture in the process.

Collinson FX market Commentary: October 26, 2012
Markets continued to range trade with little of substance in terms of eco-political events to move the dial. In Europe there were no major economic releases and the EUR traded steady at 1.2950 although the GBP surged to 1.6120 after some solid GDP growth.
UK GDP grew 1.0% for the quarter exceeding expectations with the Olympic bounce. In the US, equity markets stalled in the lead up to the Presidential elections although rumours swirled of a Fitch downgrade on the horizon for the worlds largest economy. Pending Home Sales disappointed barely gaining 0.3% after growing expectations for the housing sector. Durable Goods Orders gave some reason for confidence jumping 9.9% and Weekly Jobless Claims falling 23,000.
The KIWI rallied strongly after new Reserve Bank Governor, Wheeler, continued the status quo. Any thoughts of a pro-active Central Banker were dashed with more of the same. Despite Central Banks globally slashing interest rates to zero and recognising the impact this has had on the currency he has decided to maintain the rate differential presumably fearing inflation and a new housing bubble. There can be no significant inflation without growth but he has no intention of even popping the cork on the Genie bottle. He may know something we do not!?!?
The NZD surged to 0.8220 with little prospect of a rate cut thus supporting the currency. The AUD held ground as the RBA ponders a Melbourne Cup/US Election rate cut. The AUD traded 1.0350 as economic circumstances deteriorate and the Government flounders with revenue disease hitting the promised and sacred budget surplus.
This is becoming even less believable if that is possible? The US elections will continue to dominate with a rally on for a Romney vistory and the opposite for more of the same!
Collinson FX market Commentary: October 25, 2012
Markets remain steady awaiting major economic or political events this side of the Presidential election. European economic data continues to disappoint with the PMI falling to three year lows, level with the Post-GFC Recession.
Greece has announced a moratorium on austerity caveats enabling them to continue to blow-out any and all Bailout targets and still receive funding from the EC. The decision must be based on the premise that anything and all must and will be done to prevent the first shoe to drop!
The sheer desperation is astounding and the costs to the EC undisclosed. In Asia the Chinese PMI contracted for the 12th straight month still operating below 50. The AUD contradicted other risk aversion with a strong move back to 1.0350. This was due to a surprising blow-out in inflation data. The CPI rose 1.4% for the quarter and 2.0% for the year.
This is due, in the main, to the flow on effects of the Governments Carbon Tax. The Carbon Tax effects major Carbon producers but necessarily raises the price of electricity across the board. Electricity and Gas have risen over 15% for the quarter, which is the biggest rise ever recorded! It is the flow through of these cost that are impacting the economy as this is a universally pervasive tax. This continued inflationary pressures have increased the cost of living to a struggling citizenship and terminally affected Manufacturing relying on electricity and gas. Ironically, Government reports an increase in future carbon emissions and with rising global coal exports, rising Global Carbon emissions! A planned hatched in Academic Heaven and endorsed by naive liberal acolytes.
In the US, New Home Sales rose 5.7% although Weekly Mortgage Applications fell 12%. The Feds two day meeting ended with no interest rate change and an endorsement of Operation Twist and QE Infinity. Growth was moderate with record low interest rates to continue to mid-2015. Nothing new from the Fed with rumours flying of the impending resignation of Bernanke whatever the election result.
The EUR continued to trade below 1.3000 although the GBP rallied to 1.6030. EU Debt crises developments and the Presidential elections will dominate markets for the next two weeks although many will watch the RBNZ and their penchant for positive pro-active policy!?
Collinson FX market Commentary: October 24, 2012
Equity markets plunged overnight with growing fears from Europe and disappointing corporate earnings from the US. In Europe, S&P downgraded some regional Governments in Spain while news that the economy is contracting at a greater pace than expected.
The third quarter GDP contracted at 1.7% after austerity had hit the second quarter by 1.3%! The enormous collapse in growth as a direct result of austerity measures will push panic buttons across Europe. The medicine prescribed has the collateral damage that will impact these nations socially with citizens rioting the hardship. This should serve as a stern warning to the US and the track they have been on.
It should drive voters away from the failed policies of the left with the spend and borrow mentality fueled by corrupted Keynsian economics. The EUR dropped below 1.3000 and the GBP under 1.6000 as confidence collapsed. The Reserve Bank of Canada left rates unchanged as the Fed met for their two day meeting. Expectations are for no further action reliant on QE Infinity!
The AUD fell back to 1.0250 and the KIWI to 0.8115 with risk appetite hemorrhaging with Australian Leading Index failing 0.8%.
The digestion of the Australian Mid-Year Budget update is seen as the 'shuffling of the deck chairs on board the Titanic' to many commentators!
Collinson FX market Commentary: October 22, 2012
Markets continued to retreat after Fridays big falls. In Europe, Spanish regional elections have done little to impact the EUR which traded 1.0350 and the GBP 1.6000.
Eurozone Debt to GDP rose to 87.3% which is closing fast upon the magical 100% which has lead to many individual national crises. In the US, markets were lower after further weak Corporate earnings and confidence on the slide. The focus is on the fast approaching Presidential Elections and the final Presidential debate overnight.
In Asia the mood was set with deteriorating Trade data from Japan with Exports declining over 10% and Imports on the rise.
In Australia, the Government has released a mid-year Budget update early to avoid inclusion of declining revenues form an economy impacting by falling global demand. The AUD held 1.0300 after the announcement, although does look vulnerable to the Global instability. The KIWI continues to trade around the 0.8150 levels.
Focus today will be political in Europe and especially the US!

School boards have long considered concrete masonry a preferred building material. Concrete masonry structures are fire-resistant, quieter, more durable, and less expensive to maintain than other building systems.
But now, concrete masonry can provide another attribute: Schools built with this material will meet new sustainability guidelines.
President Obama's promise to spend billions of dollars modernizing U.S. schools is still a possibility, so the opportunity for concrete masonry's growth in this market is strong. This is especially true if federal guidelines follow existing state mandates for healthy schools. Further bolstering this effort is the U.S. Green Building Council's recent publication of a sustainable rating system designed for schools.
Concrete masonry producers now have a new ally in promoting sustainable schools. NCFI Polyurethanes, Mt. Airy, N.C., has launched the Healthy Schools for Healthy Children (HS4HC) program. Its focus is to offer a systematic apoproach to improving indoor air quality in new and renovated schools.
"We are making 2009 the year of healthier schools," says Nelson Clark, senior vice president. "HS4HC involves informing and working with the building and education communities to make schools safer and healthier for every child by inhibiting toxic mold."
NCFI's InsulBloc SPF insulation creates an air and moisture barrier that eliminates conditions for mold growth. It is a 2 lb/cu ft density, closed-cell foam that expands and cures in place, forming a fully-adhered, seamless insulation.
Installers apply the foam in liquid form. They can coat exterior walls because it adheres to concrete and masonry. Installers can also apply the foam to interior walls, during renovations where the exterior is not disturbed. "Architects like InsulBloc because it can conform to the most intricate designs, even curved or geodesic walls," says Clark. The spray insulation can be used in combination with core insulation in concrete block.
On double wythe walls, masons can place brick veneer over the foam using standard anchoring techniques. It makes masons' lives easier "by covering the most difficult and intricate things they do, such as bridging gaps in material connections," Clark says. Because it provides insulation and waterproofing, it also saves material and labor cost.
InsulBloc can help schools earn sustainability points in several areas, beginning with improved air quality. The extra layer of insulation reduces energy consumption and extends the life cycle of the building by keeping moisture out.
This also saves schools from spending their maintenance budgets on repairing or replacing walls, Clark says. InsulBloc uses renewable agricultural products, like sugar beets and corn, and contains no ozone-depleting chemicals.
The program will expand in 2009 to include producers, contractors, and design consultants. HS4HC partners can share best practices and innovations in building healthy schools.
"This is not a paid membership or certification program," says Don Schumacher, NCFI's director of marketing. "Kids need a good environment, and that means building schools with the right construction techniques and building materials." Partners display the HS4HC logo to show their commitment to creating healthy schools.
