The stock market is running on fumes. More than a hunch, this is a calculated assessment based on concrete numbers in money supply growth. When "bull markets" are being fueled by quantitative easing, and we all know this one is and has been for a while, then all you have to do to figure out when it's going to end is keep your eye on the money supply figures. This is different from the monetary base itself. Most investors know that the Federal Reserve is increasing the monetary base by $85B a month in mortgage backed security and bond buying, a number repeated all the time in the media since QEternity was announced. But the more important and less reported number is the amount of that money entering circulation as opposed to staying in reserves, which is actual money supply growth. This number depends on banks' willingness to invest that money or lend it out rather than park it back at the Fed.
Calculating these numbers is a bit tedious but it can be done. It involves wading through a sea of Federal Reserve Data and computing it. Here's how. If you go to the Federal Reserve's H.6 release on money supply growth, trek over to the second table to the 13-week non-seasonally adjusted M2 column, what you'll find is that the annualized M2 growth from April 25 reaching back to January 21 is only 3.8%. You take the number released on April 25 (10490.9), divide by the first number (10391.8), subtract 1 to get the pure percent change and then multiply by 4 to annualize. The number 3.8% isn't scary on its own, but being that growth is down from a peak of 11.4% 12 weeks before, shrinking every single week down to 3.8% is what is alarming. Last week's growth number from the May 3 release has ticked up to 3.9% and this week's to 4.1%, but the trend is still sharply down.
A much clearer picture of what has been going on since December can be seen in this chart:
What you see here is total monetary base versus excess reserves non-seasonally adjusted (NYSE:NSA). One thing to notice is that since December, the proportion of excess reserves to total monetary base has gone up from 55% in December to 59% in April. (Divide the excess column by the monetary base column.) That means proportionally more new money is being parked at the Fed rather than being circulated every month. But the starkest column is the last one, which is total borrowings from excess reserves, or the amount of excess reserves actually being circulated every month. It has dropped like a rock, only going up by the tiniest fraction in April by an infinitesimal $6M taking into account the entire U.S. banking system. QE isn't working, not merely in the sense that it isn't improving the economy, but in the more basic mechanical sense: the money just isn't moving.
For investors, that means it's not moving into the stock market either. If that trend doesn't reverse fast, then this cyclical bull is over. Within a month, 13-week averaged quarterly money supply growth could slip under 3% annualized, at which point the money supply cannot grow fast enough to feed inflated asset prices, so even if M2 growth does pick up after a dip below 3%, it will shorten the crash, but it won't stop it.
The implications for this are as follows. First of all, as monetary policy stands now, it doesn't matter how much the Fed increases the monetary base. None of it will circulate if banks do not want to use or lend that money. So an increase of QE from the current $85B a month to $100B a month or even more won't change the M2 money supply growth picture. Therefore, QE by itself can no longer levitate the markets, and traders should buy the rumor and sell the news of any increase in quantitative easing. It's a red herring.
What should be bought, and bought aggressively, is any news of the Fed lowering or eliminating the interest that it pays banks to park excess reserves. Or better yet, any news that the Fed will actually charge banks to park money, thereby almost forcing them to lend it out or invest it. However, I don't see this happening before a crash forces it because the amount of excess reserves parked at the Fed is so colossal that to charge banks to keep money there would be exceedingly dangerous. You can't have $1.8 trillion dollars suddenly flood the system in a torrent. That would be too much even for Paul Krugman. Below is the St. Louis Fed's graph of excess reserves.
Below is a zoom in I created using the Excel data of excess reserves from the moment they started to explode in September 2008.
Now take a moment to look at the data at this link. These are the H.6 money supply numbers for that same fateful month of September 2008 when the Fed began seriously increasing the monetary base in response to the financial crisis. If we do the same exact calculation we did above, namely go to the second table, divide the August 25 13-week M2 NSA average by the June 2 number, we get 7700.8/7703.5. Subtract 1, multiply by 4 to annualize = negative .14%. The money supply was actually shrinking despite the massive money pumping. It just wasn't being moved out of excess reserves fast enough. In an economy based on inflation, that means crash. And that is precisely what happened.
Those numbers were published on September 4, 2008. On that day the S&P was at 1242, having been going steadily down due to declining money supply growth already, but never averaged negative. By September 19, only 2 weeks after those numbers came out, the crash had already begun. By October 2 our number finally went back into positive territory, but by October 10, the S&P had plummeted to 900 and money supply growth was only back up to an anemic 2.9%, still very low and below the crucial 3% mark. That meant there was still more downside to go. By market bottom in March 2009, the Fed finally got the M2 growth numbers high enough, and the key number was up to an amazing 16%. (Just follow the same calculations as before to see for yourself.) At that point, confirming heavy money supply growth averages in the double digits in January and February, it was time to buy.
What this shows is that it takes about 3 months for money supply numbers to affect the markets on the upside. This is about how much time it takes for new money to circulate and get to the stock market. On the downside however, if the number is negative, a crash is only a week or two away. So watch that number carefully. Right now it's at 4.1% and has ticked higher for 2 straight weeks from a bottom of 3.8%.
What will happen from here? It all depends on where that number goes, but here's one guess. The Fed does not have the political clout to start charging banks to keep money in reserve, and it's simply too dangerous to do so. Talk about running through a dynamite factory with your hair on fire. Therefore, the 13-week annualized average may keep shrinking as it has been doing since January when the number came in at 11.4%, to below 3% in about a few weeks, and perhaps even to negative in 2 to 3 months. When the number breaches 3%, start liquidating. If it goes below 2%, you should be 100% cash. If it goes negative for even one week, take a small position in out of the money puts on the SPY S&P 500 ETF and a larger long position in the dollar ETF UUP, which will spike in the event of a crash but still has low volatility. If our number stays negative for two weeks, you may even consider a small position in leveraged bear funds like SPXU or exotic VIX funds like UVXY or TVIX to be held for 2 to 3 weeks only, but only if that key number stays negative for 2 weeks. Never hold a VIX fund for longer than that, and never more than a 5% position.
The way back up will be just as interesting. After a crash, the Fed will have the political clout to do what it wants. Expect the Fed to double down on QE and cut or even eliminate the interest it pays banks on excess reserves. In that case, the biggest beneficiaries of the new inflation will be gold (GLD) and gold miners (GDX), as price inflation will be set on fire as reserves flood the system and miners are perhaps the most undervalued sector on Wall Street.
Another steady climb, however, depends on the Fed's ability to control the amount and rate of money coming out of excess reserves. If it comes out too slowly, as is happening now, it causes a crash. If it comes out too fast, it causes price inflation. And with $1.8 trillion currently in excess reserves out of a total $3 trillion monetary base, that price inflation could be quite heavy indeed.
Of course, banks could decide to lend faster starting now, in which case the crash could still be aborted. In any case, it's the money supply growth number that has the best predictive value, whichever way it ends up going. We'll see what happens in the next several weeks.

Architects Design The World's Tallest Wooden Skyscraper
By Erwan Xiao, 19 Jun 2013
Architectural firms C.F. Møller and Dinell Johansson and consultant Tyréns have recently collaborated on a proposal to build the world's tallest wooden skyscraper in Stockholm, Sweden.
They claimed that the 34-story wooden skyscraper would be "cheaper, easier and more sustainable than typical steel and concrete constructions".
According to C. F. Møller architect Ola Jonsson, "Construction accounts for around 30-40 percent of CO2 produced in the world globally and if you look at the CO2 released in the production of wood it is a lot better than steel or concrete".
Wood is also a cheaper alternative to steel and concrete, because it costs less to transport.
Another benefit to using wood is that it has increased fire resistance compared to steel or concrete.

Bulldog Baseball Continues Grind as Opening Day Approaches Feb. 1, 2013 RUSTON, La. - The Louisiana Tech baseball squad is pushing forward as preparation for the new season continues with the Bulldogs set to begin the second week of official practices with exactly two weeks remaining until the start of the 2013 season. With a mix of conditioning, practice and intrasquads, head coach Wade Simoneaux and his staff is keeping the veteran squad busy in order to prepare the players for the grueling schedule ahead. "We have to get everybody healthy," Simoneaux said. "We are nicked up from all the running, weights and conditioning that we do. We stretch 27 of our 37 guys, so we are missing 10 right now, but they will be back and ready to go by the time the season starts. We have to really push them on the weekends to have them ready for the grind that is in front of us." Two weeks remain until the Diamond 'Dogs begin the campaign Feb. 15 against UT Arlington on the road and the battle for starting spots come opening day has already begun among the players. "There is a lot of competition," Simoneaux said. "When you are putting two lineups and two pitching staffs out there [in intrasquads], it is easy to keep everybody happy. Everybody is getting at bats, a set number of innings, their ground balls, chances and opportunities, whereas when we put nine out there, we have choices to make." As the season approaches, one area of the team Simoneaux is confident with is the middle of the field. The Bulldogs return junior shortstop Ryan Gebhardt and senior second baseman Austin Hedges to anchor the infield, with junior Taylor Burch in centerfield and a trio of veteran catchers behind the plate. "With Gebhardt and Hedges, and we also have (Taylor) Terrasas in the middle, then big Taylor Burch in centerfield; we are very strong up the middle," he said. "We also have three good catchers, Derouen being one of those, and (Kyle) Arnsberg and (Tyler) Qualls. We have three veteran catchers in my eyes that could run the show back there by themselves without us calling pitches."
The Bulldogs will continue to hold daily practices and intrasquads, including this Friday, Saturday and Sunday, up until the season begins in just two weeks. Season tickets for the upcoming season are available now and can be purchased by calling the Tech Ticket Office at 318-257-3631, emailing email@example.com or logging on to www.LATechSports.com.

Global community offers prayers, support after Kenya attack
Sept. 24, 2013
A deadly terrorist attack at a shopping mall in the capital of Kenya has drawn prayers and condolences from across the country and around the world. Auxiliary Bishop David Kamau of Nairobi, speaking for the Kenyan bishops' conference, condemned "the unwarranted attacks on the helpless people and residents of Kenya." "As a nation we share in the trauma of our brothers and sisters who have lost their close relatives and their loved ones during the Westgate attack," he said in a statement, according to the Catholic Agency For Overseas Development, a member of the Caritas International. "We are in solidarity with our brothers and sisters who have been injured in this terrible tragedy and pray that the Almighty God grants them a quick recovery," the bishop said.
On Sept. 21, more than a dozen gunmen entered Westgate Mall in Nairobi, Kenya. The militants reportedly allowed some Muslim shoppers to leave the mall before opening fire on remaining people in the shopping center and then taking hostages. The next four days were marked by explosions and gunfire as government forces struggled to gain control. Current reports indicate that more than 60 people have died at least 175 are injured, with hundreds more being evacuated unharmed from the shopping center. Part of the building has reportedly collapsed and more than 50 are still missing, according to the Kenya Red Cross.
The militant Islamist group Al-Shabab claimed responsibility for the attacks through its Twitter account. The terrorist group, which has links to al-Qaeda, is based on Somalia, where it is seeking to create an Islamic state. Al-Shabaab said the attack was an act of retribution for Kenya's military involvement in Somalia, where it has been working with other countries – including the U.S. – in fighting Islamist terrorist groups. Kenyan president Uhuru Kenyatta announced on Tuesday morning that security forces had "defeated our attackers," ending the multiple-day siege.
Noting that the nation's "losses are immense," he declared three days of national mourning. "Our attackers wished to destroy the essential character of our society," he said, according to CNN. "They failed. Kenya endured. Kenya endures." Five terrorists were killed in the fighting and 11 other suspects are in custody, Kenyatta said, promising that authorities will work to investigate the attack and ensure "full accountability" for the perpetrators. Neither Kenyatta nor U.S. officials could confirm early reports that a British woman and two or three Americans were among the attackers, although investigations into the nationalities of the culprits will continue. Al-Shabaab is known to have recruited in Western countries. Countries throughout Africa and around the world, including the United States, have pledged support for the Kenyan people and government.
"We are providing all the cooperation that we can," said U.S. President Barack Obama in a Sept. 23 press conference, vowing that his government would "stand against" such "senseless violence" and continue to work on "dismantling" terrorist organizations. U. S. Secretary of State John Kerry echoed the president's statements, stressing that the United States will "stand ready to help in any way we can." The Kenyan bishops thanked the people for their ongoing support of the victims. "The donation of blood and other charitable acts; the sacrifices of those working in health services; all who have volunteered in any way to save the lives of our brothers and sisters in danger; let us keep the spirit as we continue to pray for each other," they said.

Wedded Bliss: The Mirrorcles of Love and Slack
There are only seven miracles described in the Gospel of John, beginning with the transformation of water into wine at the wedding at Cana, and ending with the raising of Lazarus. At the conclusion of John, he says that if every miracle attributable to Christ were to be recorded, "the world itself could not contain the books that would be written."
Therefore, Tomberg suggests that the seven miracles of John are intended to be "archetypal," or to summarize certain categories of the miraculous -- of how humans, unlike any other beings in existence, may surpass themselves in the perpetual ocean of love, wisdom, and action.
Might there also be an implicit parallel between these seven miracles and the seven primordial acts of God described in Genesis 1-2? The Gospel writers were obviously intimately familiar with the Old Testament -- which was still pretty new -- and there are any number of places where they attempt to resonate with it -- for example, in Genesis 1.1 and the prologue of John ("In the beginning...").
Tomberg maintains that there is in fact an inverse relationship between the seven phases of creation in Genesis and the seven miracles of John. Thus, for example, the wedding at Cana somehow mirrors the seventh day of creation. But how?
Tomberg writes that the sabbath is the day on which "created being attains the highest level of inwardness: freedom. The seventh day of creation is the 'day' of the meaning of the world." And since it is only in love that freedom is perfect, ultimately divine-human love "is the foundation, the meaning, and the purpose of the world."
Real love is both the alpha and omega of existence, first God to man, followed by man to God, which completes the OntʘlOgical circle. And what is love of God? Schuon says that it is first "the attachment of the intelligence to the Truth," followed by "attachment of the will to the Good," and only then "attachment of the soul to the peace which is given by Truth and the Good" (emphasis mine).
Thus, slack is a side effect, as it were, of Truth and Virtue. Still, we were made for slack, since it is our proper end.
Love is the highest freedom, according to Tomberg, for "it is the sole element in human existence that cannot and may not be demanded. One can demand effort, veracity, honesty, obedience, the fulfillment of duties, but love may never be demanded. Love is and remains for all time a sanctuary of freedom, inaccessible to all compulsion.
"For this reason, the highest commandment -- 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind... and love your neighbor as yourself' -- is not a command, but a divine-human plea. For love cannot be commanded; it can only be prayed for."
This is also the American secret, for it is the one nation that is founded upon the primacy of spiritual liberty, which is to say, the possibility of genuine vertical (agape) and horizontal (caritas) love. Which is why Americans are patriotic citizens and not matriotic subjects. Half of us, anyway.
If the sabbath represents the conslackration of the free union of God and man, then a sort of cosmic divorce occurred as a consequence of the fall. Man was unfaithful to his vows, so to speak.
Thus, Tomberg writes that the wedding at Cana symbolically speaks to the restoration of this divine-human union, for it seems that marriage often "begins with enthusiasm, with the 'wine' of the honeymoon period, and ends with the 'water' of routine habit" (ibid).
The daily renewal of love is indeed a miracle, even though we rarely think about it in those terms. To put it another way, only love can renew the world, oneself, and one's wedding vows. At the wedding, Jesus not only transforms water into wine, but the second wine is even better than the first.
In other words, not only does the higher love not degenerate, but it is miraculously renewed and increased; as such, this miracle is the "sign" of the healing of marriage -- i.e., "healing in the service of restoring the marriage relationship to correspond to the divine cosmic archetype, which is the seventh day of creation."
Note that John 2:1 says that the wedding took place "on the third day." Why is this seemingly offhand comment inserted into the text? And when they run out of wine, it is specifically Jesus' mother who brings this message to her son. Interestingly, Jesus says something very strange, in that he immediately interprets Mary's news about the wine in symbolic terms, asking her, "what does your concern have to do with me? My hour has not yet come."
Thus, the wedding on the third day clearly has resonance with the entire mission of Jesus, in which he will restore the marriage between God and man on "the third day" (which is also the Christian sabbath), by pouring out a kind of infinite, inexhaustible love.
Tomberg notes that there are exactly six "waterpots of stone" at the wedding, apparently referencing the other six days of creation and the other six miracles. The reference to "stone" reminds me of something Schuon wrote, that
"When God is removed from the universe, it becomes a desert of rocks or ice; it is deprived of life and warmth, and every man who still has a sense of the integrally real refuses to admit that this should be reality.... Similarly for the soul: remove faith -- including the element of faith that forms part of gnosis -- and the soul becomes impoverished, chilled, rigid, and embittered, or it falls into a hedonism unworthy of the human state."
Skipping ahead a bit, wine once again comes into play when Jesus' "hour has come." In John 19:28, only after he knows that "all things were accomplished," he says "I thirst." He is given some sour -- which is to say, bad -- wine, which is placed to his mouth. After receiving it, he bows his head and says, "it is finished."
What is finished? One of the soldiers pierces his side, and "blood and water come out." At Cana, water is transformed into good wine. Here, as it were, bad and sour wine -- which is to say, the hateful karma of the world -- is transformed into water and blood. In the Bible -- and in antiquity in general -- "blood" always had spiritual connotations, and was regarded as the vehicle of life, while water carries two distinct meanings.
Back to Genesis 1. On the second day of creation, God separates the upper waters -- the waters above the firmament, or heaven -- from the lower waters. In fact, heaven is placed between the upper and lower waters, as a sort of dividing line. As such -- again, curiously -- heaven is not at the "top" of creation, but is a sort of membrane between upper and lower, or superior and inferior, waters.
But clearly, Jesus seems to be able to mediate between the upper and lower waters -- to bring about their harmonious union, in which the lower is transformed into the higher, and the higher descends into and infuses the lower.
Exacly what is the sacrament of marriage? It is the "inseparable bond between a man and a woman, created by human contract and ratified by divine grace. The nature of the covenant requires that the two participants be one man and one woman" and "that they be free to marry."
Marriage is founded upon consent, which "consists in a human act by which the partners mutually give themselves to each other. Consent must be a free act of the will of the consenting parties, free of coercion or grave external error. If freedom is lacking, the consent is invalid." Interestingly, "it is the spouses who are understood to confer marriage on each other. The spouses, as ministers of grace, naturally confer upon each other the sacrament of matrimony" (Tomberg).
Now, back to the union of God and man. Let's think about some of the constituent components of marriage: freedom to consent to an inseparable bond, absent any coercion; mutual surrender; male (God) and female (the soul); the parties freely choose to confer marriage upon each other, not one upon the other; and the parties become vehicles of grace for one another, through which the regenerative upper waters flow into the world, transforming water into good wine and sour wine into the upper waters of eternal life and love.

Mar 11, 2012 - UW Sports Information
The University of Wyoming men's basketball team has earned a postseason berth for the first time since 2009, as the Cowboys accepted an invitation on Sunday to play in the College Basketball Invitational (CBI) presented by Zebra Pen. UW will face North Dakota State on Wednesday at 7 p.m. in Wyoming's Arena-Auditorium."I've been proud of this team's hunger and edge since day one, so we look forward to adding another game in the Double A to this season," UW head coach Larry Shyatt said. "This is a great opportunity for our Wyoming fans to support the program's first 20-win team in nine years and a well-earned reward for our six seniors this season."
Cowboy fans may purchase tickets through the Wyoming Athletics Ticket Office by going online at WyomingAthletics.com or by calling 877-WYO-FAN1 (877-996-3261) or 307-766-4850. Tickets are $16 for adults, $8 for youth (3-18) and $5 for UW students. The game will not be televised.

The deadline to reserve season-ticket seats is Noon on the day of the game. Season-tickets seats may not be reserved online.
The Pokes compiled an outstanding resume this season that included a 20-11 overall record for their first 20-win season since 2002-03. Wyoming also featured one of the top scoring defenses in the nation, allowing opponents only 55.5 points per game to rank in the top 10 in the nation.
Wyoming is making its second appearance in the CBI after hosting Northeastern in 2009. This is Wyoming's 24th appearance in a postseason men's basketball tournament, including appearing in 14 NCAA Tournaments, eight National Invitation Tournaments (NIT) and now two College Basketball Invitationals. Shyatt also guided Wyoming to the postseason in his first season at UW, with an appearance in the 1998 NIT versus Gonzaga.
Two of the CBI's eight First Round games will commence on Tuesday with the remaining First Round games being played on Wednesday. The Quarterfinal Round will take place on Monday, March 19 with the Semifinal Round games being played on Wednesday, March 21. The best-of-three Championship Series begins on Monday, March 26.

text: Nikita KhrushchevPolitical LeaderBorn: 17 April 1894 Died: 11 September 1971 Birthplace: Kalinovka, Kursk, Russia Best known as: Leader of the USSR, 1956-64 Born a Ukrainian peasant, Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev joined the Communist party in 1918 and in four decades rose through the ranks to become the leader of all the Soviet Union. Nikita Khrushchev first became a member of the party's central committee in 1934. He had a close connection to Soviet leader Joseph Stalin, and after Stalin's death in 1953 Khrushchev emerged as the new leader. He began to reform Stalin's most brutal excesses, and when he denounced some crimes of Stalin in 1956 it was regarded as a stunning development. Nikita Khrushchev also attempted to ease relations with the United States; in 1959 he toured the U.S. and met with President Dwight Eisenhower. When a U.S. spy plane piloted by Gary Powers was shot down over Russia in 1960, Khrushchev grew more belligerent, and he grabbed the attention of the world by pounding his shoe on a conference table at the United Nations that fall. Khrushchev, the U2 incident, and the Cold War all became major issues in the 1960 U.S. presidential contest between Vice President Richard Nixon and John Kennedy, which was won by Kennedy. Two years later, Nikita Khrushchev was forced to back down to Kennedy over the placement of Soviet missiles in Cuba, in what became known as the Cuban missile crisis of 1962. Further domestic and foreign relations disasters weakened Khrushchev's power, and in 1964 he was replaced as Soviet leader by Leonid Brezhnev. Extra credit: Nikita Khrushchev's "kitchen debate" with Nixon was a famous incident of the Cold War; the impromptu comparison of political systems took place while both were touring a model kitchen at an American trade exhibit in Moscow on 24 July 1959.

The finca has a rustic and cosy atmosphere. The rooms have been lovingly decorated with many details and make it easy for you to feel at home. The living room with three sofas invites you to relax with a good book, watching satellite TV or a DVD, surfing the internet (WIFI), or listening music. During cool autumn nights the fireplace conjures up a homely atmosphere in the living room. The kitchen is spacious and provides you with everything you need on holiday: microwave, coffee maker, vitro ceramic hob, cutlery, cooking utensils, fridge and a dishwasher. Of course, there is a washing machine, an iron and ironing board in the house. For the little ones a high chair is available. The dining area has a table and chairs for six people.
On the porch you will find a chill-out area with wicker chairs and a table. It is decorated with many details like plants and old craft items. Also you can organize a barbecue with the whole family. From the veranda you can overlook the 7 x 4 m private pool. There is also an outdoor shower where you can rinse off easily after a bath. All Sun worshipers can get comfortable on one of the four sun loungers. There is also a parasol available.
The house is situated on the outskirts of Buger. There is a neighbour about 50 yards from the house, but you cannot see from the outside of the garden and pool because the property is well protected at the sides by hedges and a small stone wall.

Very nice house and above all beautifully situated right on the small harbor. Everything else has also worked well.
Sehr schönes Ferienhaus und vor allem wunderschön gelegen direkt am kleinen Hafen. Alles Andere hat ebenso gut geklappt.
It has everything uncomplicated and very well.
Es hat alles unkompliziert und sehr gut geklappt.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
The house is really nice and we can only recommend this. It is even more beautiful than in the photos. We stayed 2 weeks in the autumn of 2014 in the Villa Silvina and we did not miss anything. Only disappointment was that we had to clean the apartment on its own after a week and the replacement sheets were put down only at the entrance and we had to do this myself. We're not used to us by Mallorce FINCAS, especially not in this price range.
Das Haus ist wirklich sehr schön und wir können dies nur weiter empfehlen. Es ist noch schöner als auf den Fotos. Wir waren 2 Wochen im Herbst 2014 in der Villa Silvina und es hat uns an nichts gefehlt. Schade war nur, dass wir nach einer Woche die Wohnung eigenständig putzen mussten und die Ersatz Bettwäsche wurde nur beim Eingang hingestellt und wir mussten dies selber tun. Das sind wir uns doch von Mallorce FINCAS nicht gewohnt, vorallem nicht in dieser Preisklasse.
We were completely satisfied and had a good time.
Wir waren rundum zufrieden und hatten eine gute Zeit.

Dear Anna,
we loved our stay in your beautiful villa! We felt immediately at home. You were so kind to show us the entire house when we arrived to early. We will definately return some time when we have the opportunity. The ambiance was so cosy and the facilities where fantastic as well as the view.......stunning! Thank you so much for everything. Goodluck in the future. With kind regards family Bemelmans, family Esseling and family Willems from the Netherlands.
Nice local neighbours, tremendous view and comfortable terrace, tasteful modern furniture. Sea and snorkel area just a view steps ahead. We can absolutely recommend it.
A very nice, big house in the old town. With arches from 1771! We enjoyed it very much.

Keep an Eye on Apple
The tech giant is now Approaching Oversold.
MINYANVILLE ORIGINAL On Friday, my firm wrote, "This morning we got an Approaching Oversold reading for Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) at $525. Now let me stress the fact that our countertrend has three levels: 1 - Approaching Oversold, 2 - Oversold, and 3 - Extremely Oversold... Can we get to an Oversold level? Yes, but we think this is now (at $525) a high probability trade off of this level. Short-term traders: Use a tight stop off the $518 level. Investors: Only start with ¼ positions and never allocate more than 5% of your total investment account to one position."
Besides getting the Approaching Oversold alert for Apple, we really liked the way the stock sold off down to $505.80 and recovered. We now have the stock up 4.58% this morning. We are remaining long our ¼ position and not adding until we get a rating change. We will alert readers once we get a change in rating.

Ferro cement
there is a boat for sale in our harbor made of ferro cement. I have never heard of it before and was hopeing some one on here might be able to give me some insight in to its long term surviability.
Ferro cement
(This is from a previous discussion of Ferrocement)
My take on ferro-cement is that it is, in fact, pound for pound the weakest of all of the commonly used boat building materials. Ferro-cement operates by the same principle as fiberglass, in other words, a high tensile strength reinforcing held by a high compressive strength, low tensile strength cement. The cement in ferro-cement ideally is a high strength Portland cement. The cement in fiberglass is polyester, vinylester or epoxy resin. The tensile reinforcing material in ferro-cement is steel (sometimes with glass fiber, and in fiberglass its glass in a variety of forms, kevlar, carbon and all kinds of new variations on these materials. Ferro-cement''s weight comes from a number of sources. First of all, no matter how small the boat, there is a practical limit to how thin ferro-cement can be. Ferro-cement needs to have a minimum thickness in order to have sufficient depth of material to protect the reinforcement from moisture. Because of this boats below 40 to 45 feet are generally considered too small to use ferro-cement efficiently. (i.e. they weigh more than they would in some other material.) The implication of the weight issue is not readily obvious. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, Weight in and of itself does nothing good for a boat. It does not make it stronger, or more comfortable or more stabile. Weight does increase the stress on the various parts of a boat. It increases the size of a sail plan required to achieve a particular speed. It increases drag and typically means that for a given draft a boat will have a less efficient keel (i.e trading off greater drag for the same amount of leeway.) In order to carry more sail area the boat needs greater form stability, which comes at the price or a choppier motion and greater drag, or greater ballast or deeper ballast which adds more weight and drag and perhaps depth. To keep the weight down, many ferro-cement cement boats have reduced ballast ratios when compared to other construction techniques. This means that they need more sail area because of their weight but they can''t carry more sail area because of reduced ballast ratios without using lower aspect rigs which are by their very nature less efficient. This is further complicated by the fact a higher proportion of the weight in a ferro-cement boat is carried in the in the topsides (and sometimes decks). This means a high center of gravity which has a variety of implications; reduced stability, wider roll angles, smaller angles of ultimate stability, and more prone to excitation rolling (which may be slightly offset by the greater inertial moments due to weight). Then there is maintenance costs. In a study performed some years back looking at the life costs of various materials, ferro-cement-cement came out as the highest maintenance cost material (if I remember worst to best was ferro-cement, steel, conventional wood, aluminum, fiberglass, cold molded wood) Of course as with any generalized study there will be case by case exceptions and given the comparatively small sampling of non-FRP boats it can be easily skewed by a few bad apples. Other problems with ferro-cement are the difficulty of connecting things to it, and prevention of rot in wood in contact with ferro-cement. The difficulty in bolting to ferro-cement is that ferro-cement hates localized loadings. It's hard to glue things to ferro-cement. secondary bonds are greatly weaker than primary bonds. Then there is the market value thing. ferro-cement does have a reputation in the States that does not match the comparatively high regard that it is held in other countries. Some of this is just plain unfair prejudice but some of this comes from real shortcomings in the materials as noted above. A well-built ferro-cement boat can be a good cruising boat. But the image of the crudely finished 'hippie' built cement and rust buckets still clouds the perception of ferro-cement for many North Americans. The other problem is telling whether the boat that you are looking at is a good boat. It is very hard to do non- destructive survey techniques to tell whether the original work was done well and is in good condition. While sounding will reveal any major separations in the cement to reinforcing bond, it does little to determine the affects of fatigue, poor curing practices or cold joints. With Ferro-cement it is particularly important to maintain the ferro-cement parts in good condtion. That can be very significant. People who buy boats because they are priced well below the market, often are overly frugal or just plain do not have the money that it takes to properly maintain a boat. Anotherwise good Ferro-cement boat left to poor maintenance and miss-handling can quickly become a poster child for why North American's don't trust Ferro-cement To me the real cost of owning a boat is the difference between what you paid for the boat, the cost of upgrades and maintenance and the price that you can get when you sell the boat. The problem with a lot of low value boats is that the sales price is always limited no matter how much you put into the boat. This too works against ferro cement boats. I guess my conclusion is if you are strictly looking for an initial up front cost boat and don''t mind putting some sweat equity in, and you can look past the sailing shortcomings, and you actually find one that was well built and well maintained, a ferro-cement boat might work out fine for you. For most of us, they do not. Respectfully Jeff |
Ferro cement
Thanks Jeff for your imput. That explains alot.Looks like the price on the boat is low for a reason .
Ferro cement
This topic is going to attract a few opinions (what in yachting doesn''t) so I will throw in my 2c worth (adjusted for currency conversion and inflation + GST).
Cement boats have exactly ONE virtue to offer. They are cheap. Cheaper to build then either GRP or cold molded timber or alloy. Of course int he modern world, the hull is only one part of the overall investment that equals "yacht"...and that means that quite frequently, cement boats represent a dollar value that can never be recouped. Because the spars, blocks, sails, electrics, electronics, winches, engine, etc etc etc are just like those found on a "real" boat...only bolted to a hull that a majority of sailing folks will never trust beyond staying afloat at the dock. Cement boats suffer from a couple fo issues that give them a bad rep (some of which may not be justified). Many of these boats were "home built" as there was a huge fad for them soem years ago. Quality control is thus a bit...errr...patchy, at beast. They have lumps and bumps and irregular thickness in the hull. The mix is variable, so some areas are more brittle then others (and cement boats are ALL more brittle then GRP or wood). Some mixes of cement are not as water proof as they ought to be and suffer capillery leeching. A lovely state in which you are living on board a seive nd trying to throw the water back overboard faster then it comes in. your major ally in this battle is PAINT. If this thought comforts you, then go for it. Also linked to the above point is the reinforcment of the cement. It is chickenwire. This means that in a grounding, and inpacts or whatever, lots of little concrete hexagons fly from your hull, and leave behind chickenwire to hold back the sea. My favourite worst case scenario though, comes form the possibility of lightning strike! Imagine all of the chicken wire reinforcing suddenly going incandescently hot and blowing off the cement that surrounds it. Up the creek without a paddle does not begin to describe the situation! So what are cement boats good for...well, you can buy a 40 foot cement boat for the same price as a 26foot GRP boat an use it as a live-aboard in oone of the nicest marinas you want to live in and that is it. Your "floating" concrete apartment by the water. Just don''t try sailing it too much or in too hard a weather. Oh yeah, cement is kind of heavy too...so you will have a boat that weighs about the same as a steel hull...but with absolutely none of the advantages. (even your compass will have devation issues like a steel boat, because of the mesh in the hull). Anyway...that is my opinion on the matter. I am more then sure that there will be cement boat officianados along any moment to defend their point of view. Sasha |
Ferro cement
Thank you for your response Sasha.Haveing never heard of Ferro before i was intrested in this boat. Obviously i am much less intrested now. Well Sasha i am really intrested to see how a cement Officiados deflect waht you and jeff had said.
Ferro cement
No cement boat afficionados coming to voice their point of view ???
All the points above are of course right. There are actually a few boats mainly built in Holland which are quite nice. Still even in EUrope where people know about their excellent built quality much cheaper as well. Also, because of their usually low budget restraints, most ferro boats have helplessly undersized components. Now if you add a couple of real big selftailing winches, a couple of other correct sized accessories, your good deal becomes vain in a hurry .. Thorsten |
Ferro cement
i allready own a 33 cal i am prefectly happy with that has some surprisling good speed to it. But i was kinda shocked when this big old 50 footboat was priced what i consider pretty darn low. I am pretty close to makeing a liveabord for finacial reasons , so i just assumed that this 50 footer would be a great boat to do it on. Corse that was last week and i knew nothing about Ferrocement boats. This one looks like a production boat not something some one made in there back yard. But who wants to make that kind of purchase when there is ZERO upside to it. Even assumeing i lived on it for the next 30 years untill i retire i would still more likely then not have to buy a diffrent boat if i wanted to go cruseing. Soooo i just dont see it happening now unless he wanted to give it to me for the price of its engine :)
Ferro cement
Well dshearn, I have to dis agree with some of what jeff and sasha have to say. I for one live and sail on a Ferro-Cement boat. I love my boat. However I have one that was built correctly. Mine is a Stan Huntingford Mapel leaf 60. There were two of these models built. The sister ship is in St. Tohmas called New Horizons and is chartered. I`m in the northwest and cruise the area also the boat has also been in the Trans-Pac race taking third in its class. Not bad for a Rock. Its a shoal draft with a drop center board. The boat is also as fare as any fiberglass boat thats poped out of a mold. As far as maintenance goes. I don`t have the blister problems that glass boats have or rot issues that wood boats have nor corrosion problems that steal boats have. Weight?? It comes in at 58,000lbs (dry). No more than any other 60ftr. Speed?? Well it will sail 10 kts with moderate wind all day long and has been logged @ 18 kts in heavy weather with reasonable comfort down below. I`ve never had the bobbing effect that was described. On one outing I was with two other boat boats, a 58ftr and a 63ftr and they didn`t fare that well when the winds started to kick up. I also had to reduce more sail than normal for them to stay close. So the point of all this? It dosen`t matter what the boat is made of as long as its built well. There is a web site that will give you tons of info on Ferro Boat " The World Of Ferro-Cement Boats". Don`t loose interest on a Ferro-Cement boats. It true that they are less money. However you will pay good money for one thats built right. Don`t let these guys fool you into thinking that all Ferro-Cement boats are trash. Every type of construction has boats that are built well and poorly. They key to it all is education on your part. If you know what to look for, you can get one of the best boats around. Ferro_Cement boats have been around for quite some time. As a matter of fact. In New Zealand, Austrailia and in Europe they are still building them. So They way I see it if they are still in construction then they can`t be as bad as what is led to believe. The biggest problem with this type of boat wasn`t the boat itself it was the builder and marketing. The salesmen tells Joe Shmoe that he can build this nice boat in his back yard with ease. Joe says great and soon discovers its not easy at all and gets fustrated with the results. Soon starts the bad mouthing and it snowballs from there. If you find a properly built Ferro-Cement boat and you don`t plan on re selling any time soon then I would stongly consider it. I`m taking mine around the world and I feel perfectly safe in it. I don`t woory about logs or shipping containers or even whales. My boat was built with intergrated tanks with removeable deck lids. So in the event I was ever holed then all I would loose is some fresh water. It also has a colision bulkhead. The boat was truely design with the ocean in mind. If I sound like I`m proud of my boat, I am! However if I had an equaly built boat in any other construction I still would be. I think I found a dimond in the ruff. Ruff being Media Histeria. There is nothing wrong with having a Ferro-Cement boat. The trick is finding a good one. I would also look over seas for one. Good luck with you search.

There is a huge difference in the relative weight issue between ferro-cement and otehr materials when you are talking about a 60 foot boat vs a 50 or smaller footer. Properly built, ferro cement is a perfectly reasonable material for a 60 or so footer. It still is a comparatively expensive material to maintain over its life cycle if maintained on an equivillent basis to the more common boat building materials.
Just for the record, while blistering does occur in fiberglass boats built during a narrow period of time, it is not a universal problem within the better built boats of the recent past. By the way, what year did your boat take a third in the Transpac and how many boats were in its class? Respectfully, Jeff |
Ferro cement
Thanks for the info ISLANDCHIEF. I have kinda moved away from the FC boats for a couple of reasons. It seems you can buy a bad boat made of anything. the Survyers in my area have little knowledge of FC ..... sure they will do them but they tend to blink funny any get all nondiscript when pressed on differnt points. It seems to come down to there same testing for fiberglass. I myself am quite new to boating and rely greatly on word of mouth and name brand recognition. And or course I am way to ignorant on teh subject of FC. I am also starting to look more at racer/crusieing boats. SO for a number or reasons i am moveing away from the FC boats. But i do appricate your time and thank you for responding.

Fuming over long outstanding payment of about Rs 4.5 crore, dealers have decided to stop giving fuel on credit to defaulting state government departments by December 1.
Punjab Petroleum Dealers Association announced its decision here on Thursday. "We are fed up with supplying fuel on credit to the government departments. The bills are now piled up, leaving us with no option but to deny any more of it," said association president JP Khanna.
March onwards, no payment had been made to the dealers, said Khanna, adding that major defaulters were the excise and sales department, and police. "About Rs 50 lakh is due against the excise and sales department alone," he further said.
The original decision was to discontinue the supply immediately but then the administrations of some districts sought a month's time. Now if the dues are not cleared by November 30, from December 1, there will be no refuelling for indefinite period.
"Owners of the fuel retail outlets are under financial crisis already, as the margin on sale has become very less and the investment has increased because of the cost of the product," said the dealer association president. Since the policy of bulk purchase of petroleum products has made petrol costly by Rs 6 to 7 per litre at state-owned pumps, even state-run Punjab Roadways and PEPSU buses now refuel at private filling stations.

Great looking T/A. A real find...Glad you decided not to rag it out, and save it for future generations to enjoy. I wish more people in the 70s had preserved their cars. But, I understand why the didn't, because they were the badest cars ever.

Your period at a glance:
- When you have your period, a bloody fluid comes out of your vagina for a few days.
- You get your period about once a month.
- Most girls are between 9 and 15 years old when they have their first period.
- Many girls have irregular periods — meaning they don't happen the same time every month.
What's the menstrual cycle?
Menstruation is what most people call "having your period." The menstrual cycle is the time from the first day of one period to the first day of the next. A normal menstrual cycle can be as short as 21 days or longer than 35 days. For most women, it lasts 25 - 30 days. But it's common for your cycle to vary from month to month.
Here are the basics:
- You have two ovaries. Each one holds hundreds of thousands of very tiny eggs — too small to even see.
- During your menstrual cycle, the eggs in your ovaries mature and the lining of your uterus (womb) thickens to prepare for a possible pregnancy. The lining is made of tissue and blood, like almost everything else inside us.
- About halfway through your menstrual cycle, a mature egg leaves the ovary. An ovary releases an egg about once a month. This is called ovulation. Most women don't feel it, but some women feel a little pain near their stomach or have a light spotting of blood around the time they ovulate.
- The egg then travels through one of your fallopian tubes toward your uterus. Usually the egg and lining of tissue and blood comes out of your vagina at the end of your cycle. This is called menstrual flow, or your period.
- If sperm joins with an egg, it's called fertilization. Pregnancy begins if a fertilized egg attaches itself to the thick lining of the uterus. This lining is important for the pregnancy, which is why women don't get their periods when they're pregnant.
- Periods stop temporarily during pregnancy. When you're older, your period will stop for good. Usually, it stops when a woman is between 45 and 55 years old. This is called menopause.
What should I expect when I get my period?
Periods usually last about 3-7 days, but may be slightly shorter or longer. During your period, a bloody fluid comes out of your vagina. The heaviness and color (more red or more brown) of the menstrual flow changes from the beginning to the end of your period.
You may have a brownish discharge at the beginning or end of your period, and even sometimes in the middle of your cycle. This is called "spotting," and it's pretty common.
Many women mark the days they bleed on a calendar or on an app on their phones. Keeping a calendar will help you predict when you'll get your next period. Also, you'll be able to tell if your period is late or early. And you'll have a record if you need to see your nurse or doctor about any problems.
There may be signs you're about to get your period, or there may not be. For some, the signs that their periods are going to start are: tender or swollen breasts, feeling tense, and bloating in your belly (feeling puffy or full). Sometimes there's a crampy feeling in your back, legs, or stomach. Some girls get pimples a few days before. These symptoms are called PMS. As you get older, you'll get better at figuring out when your period is coming.
You can carry pads or tampons in your bag when you think your period is coming. Ask your school nurse for them if you forget. Don't be shy — remember, all women get periods. Some schools and other public places have machines in the bathroom that sell tampons or pads. If your clothes accidently get stained, you can wrap a sweater around your waist or ask to go home. You can also keep a change of clothes in your locker.
No one can tell by looking at you that you have your period. You don't look or smell any different or act any differently. People will only know you're having your period if you tell them. You can still swim, play sports, bathe, and do all the things you usually do.
When will I get my first period?
There's no way to know exactly when you'll get your first period. One day, you'll begin to bleed from your vagina, and that's your period. It means that your body is healthy and normal.
Most girls have their first period when they're between 9 and 15 years old. Your period may start around the time it started for other people in your family, like your mom or sisters. If you don't get your period by the time you're 15, you may want to talk with a doctor or nurse.
There may be signs you're about to get your period (like cramping, bloating, or pimples), or there may not be. As you get older, it will be easier to tell when your period is coming.
If you start your period and don't have a tampon or pad, you can ask a parent, friend, teacher, or the school nurse for one.
What's PMS?
PMS stands for premenstrual syndrome. PMS causes emotional and physical symptoms that may show up a few days before and during your period. PMS most often includes mood swings, tension or dizziness, or feeling bloated, tired, or anxious. PMS is caused by hormonal changes during your menstrual cycle.
Some people get PMS every time they have their periods. Others only get PMS every once in a while or not at all. You may have all, some, or none of the symptoms. For example, you might get bloating and dizziness, but not mood swings or feeling tired. And some people don't get PMS at all.
Many people get cramps before and during their periods as well. You can use a heating pad or take pain medicine to help with cramps. Using hormonal birth control can help with cramps and make your period lighter and more regular.
Talk with a parent or doctor if heating pads and medicine don't help your cramps, or you have other PMS symptoms that are hard to deal with.
Is my period normal?
You're different from every other person in the world. Your periods and menstrual cycles will be different, too. What will be normal for you may not be normal for someone else. Your first few periods may not all be the same either.
You may go between having a light flow and a heavy flow. You might even skip some months. Your period may be late when you get sick, when you're worried or stressed out about something, or for no reason at all. Most likely your periods and cycles will become more regular as you grow older.
Even though it's normal to skip a period every once in a while, if you've had unprotected sex (sex without a condom or birth control) and missed your period, take a pregnancy test.
If your period is so heavy that you have to change maxi pads or super tampons every hour, see a doctor.
How do I use tampons, pads, and cups?
Most women use pads, tampons, or menstrual cups to collect their period flow and protect their clothes from stains. You can buy pads and tampons in most drugstores or supermarkets. Menstrual cups are most easily bought online. Every package has instructions in it. Pads and tampons come in different sizes. Some are for lighter flows (usually called light or slim), and some are for heavier flows (usually called heavy or super).
Using a tampon, cup, or pad takes a little practice. Try different kinds until you figure out what you like best.
Tampons are little plugs of cotton that fit inside your vagina and absorb menstrual blood. Tampons can't get lost inside your vagina or move to another part of your body. They stay inside until you remove them. Most people can't feel tampons if they're placed in the vagina correctly.
How to use tampons:
- Wash your hands and get into the position that's most comfortable for you. Many women squat, put one leg up, or sit on the toilet with their knees apart.
- Slide the tampon into your vagina using the applicator or your finger, depending on what kind of tampon you have.
- Putting a tampon in your vagina shouldn't be painful, but it may hurt if you're not relaxed. Using tampons with smooth, rounded applicators may make it easier.
- If you're still not comfortable, ask someone you trust (like your mom, sister, or another person you trust) to show you how to correctly place it in your vagina.
- Do not flush tampon applicators. Throw them away in the trash.
- Tampons have a string at one end that hangs out of your vagina. Slowly pulling the string removes the tampon. It's easier to remove a tampon when it's fully soaked.
- When you take the tampon out, wrap it in toilet paper and throw it away in the trash.
- Change your tampon every 3-4 hours to prevent odor and stains on your clothes.
- You can wear tampons overnight, but not for more than 8 hours. Change it as soon as you get up in the morning.
- Don't use super or heavy tampons unless you really need them, and change them often.
- You can wear tampons in the water, and during all kinds of sports and activities.
- Using a tampon takes practice. Try different kinds until you figure out what you like best, but don't wear tampons unless you're actually having your period.
- Don't douche or use scented tampons or vaginal deodorants — this can lead to irritation or infection. If you're worried about odor, change your tampon more often.
Unlike tampons or cups, pads are worn outside of your body. Pads stay in place with a strip of adhesive that sticks to the inside of your underwear. Some have "wings" or flaps that fold over the sides of your underwear to protect against leaks and stains. Like tampons, pads have different sizes. Pads can be very thin (for light flows) or cushy (for heavier flows).
How to use pads:
- Peel the backing off the adhesive strip and press the pad into your underwear.
- Change your pad every three to four hours, or when it's soaked, to prevent odors and stains on your clothes.
- You can wear pads overnight.
- Don't flush used pads down the toilet. They'll clog it up. Wrap them in toilet paper and put them in the trash.
- Pads can be used with tampons or cups as a backup in case of leaks.
- You can't wear a pad in the water. If you want to go swimming or do very active sports, use a tampon or cup instead of a pad.
- Don't douche or use scented pads or vaginal deodorants — this can lead to irritation or infection. If you're worried about odor, change your pad more often.
Menstrual Cups:
Menstrual cups are shaped like little bells or bowls, and they're made of rubber, silicone, or soft plastic. They're held inside your body by the walls of your vagina, where they collect menstrual fluid.
Most menstrual cups are reusable, which means that you use the same cup over and over again. Some people like this because it's better for the environment and costs less than using disposable products like tampons or pads.
Cups may look kind of big, but most people can't feel them once they're placed into the vagina. Cups can't fall out, get stuck inside your vagina, or move to another part of your body. They stay inside until you remove them.
How to use menstrual cups:
- There are different types of cups, but each one comes with directions that explain the best way to use it.
- Wash your hands and get into the position that's most comfortable for you. Many women squat, put one leg up, or sit on the toilet with their knees apart.
- To insert a cup, you usually fold or squeeze it so it's easier to put in your vagina. Follow the directions that came with your cup to find the best way to put it in.
- Putting a menstrual cup in your vagina shouldn't be painful, but it may be uncomfortable if you're not relaxed.
- If you're having problems inserting your cup or it feels uncomfortable once it's in, ask someone you trust (like your mom or sister) to help you read the directions and insert your cup correctly.
- Menstrual cups can be worn overnight or for up to 12 hours, but you can empty it as often as you want. The cup will leak if it gets too full.
- To remove and empty a menstrual cup, put your fingers in your vagina, then gently squeeze the cup and pull it out. Empty the menstrual fluid in a toilet, sink, or shower drain. Wash it with warm water and mild, unscented soap (or just wipe off the outside with toilet paper), and then put it back in. Always follow the cleaning directions that came with your cup.
- Menstrual cups cannot be flushed down the toilet. If you have to throw away a menstrual cup, put it in the trash.
- Menstrual cups usually take a little more practice to get used to than tampons or pads. It may take a couple of periods to get it right. You can wear a pad as a backup in case your cup leaks. You can't wear a tampon and a cup at the same time.
- Cups can be worn in the water and during all kinds of sports and activities.
- Don't douche or use vaginal deodorants with your cup — this can lead to irritation or infection. If you're worried about odor, empty your cup more often.

Taken along a rural highway road on a road trip from Texas up to Chicago last year. Being the naive city guy I am, when I stopped to snap some shots of the old cars he had in front of his shop I was surprised when he wandered out and asked me what I was doing. I of course told him how much I liked his vintage cars and thought they deserved to be seen by more people (knowing not many got out where he was). We ended up talking a bit longer. We looked each other straight in the eyes. A few laughs. A few more pictures. Some thoughts on life.
I took this when we were both finally quiet for a few seconds and he shook my hand, told me to have a safe trip and started to walk away. I liked the obvious stance that the car shared with him. One thing I will remember is his resolve to do what he had been doing for nearly 40 years - fixing cars. He said it was the thing he was best at, but that it was taking its toll. I would be proud to say I was still doing the thing I knew best 30 years from now, but I honestly don't know if I'll be able to.

I spent a long time reading here before committing to a pair of klipsch s4 for my girlfriend. I read a lot of posts recommending them as a decent budget iem. up until 2 weeks ago i've never used anything but sennhesier cx300, and now i can compare these directly to the klipsch s4 for people who are now in the position that i was a few weeks ago.
the klipsch s4 wins here no doubt. they come in a metal tin whereas the cx300 just come in a blister pack.
the klipsch s4 came with one medium set of buds already attached, along with a slightly larger set and a set of the 'ear plug' style buds that you get on some shure iems. the ones that were attached fit just fine. i'm sorry but i can't remember what buds come with the cx300s but i do know that they fit me just fine from the off.
this is where i start to frown. the cables on the klipsch phones are absolute rubbish. they are coated in a cheap shiny plastic that does not bend with ease at all. the cables are easy to get tangled and rub on your clothing when you walk. i can't imagine what they were thinking choosing a cable like this for some semi decent phones. the cabling on the cx300, by comparison, is rubbery and maliable and good at not tangling itself up. the sennheiser cabling wins hands down.
sound quality:
the important stuff i guess. now, i'm no audiophile but my ears work well and i am very particular about the kind of sound that i like. i am impressed with the sound of the s4 but after a burn in period i did some back to back comparisons with the cx300 and found the following:
compared to the cx300 the treble on the s4 is clearer and sounds sharper by a small margin. this is nice in some music but i found that it begun to sizzle in some metal and dance music (rage against the machine, fear factory, corrupt souls, black sun empire) and i found myself reducing the treble on my EQ to compensate.
the mid tops are better on the s4, the cx300 seem to lose some clarity around here and in complex metal music with a lot going on you suffer a murky mess in the mid tops. the s4 cope with it marginally better and i enjoyed fear factorys "archetype" a little more because of it.
mids i found fairly hard to distinguish between the 2 sets. both represent them well.
the bass on the s4 is sadly lacking. i find the bass on the cx300 too heavy and muddy at certain frequencies but i prefer this to the lack of kick that the s4 provide. whilst the bass that is present is clear, sub basses found in dance music are not represented well in the s4.
i do like the s4 but given the price difference i would not purchase them over a pair of cx300s. after reading threads here i was under the impression that the difference between them would be immense. colourful descriptions of the s4 and a "look down your nose" attitude towards the cx300 lead me to believe the s4 would blow me away compared to my "ultra budget" cx300, but i was wrong. whilst i don't regret the purchase, and my girlfriend likes them a lot i would not recommend them over a pair of cx300. perhaps if they were £5-£10 more expensive than the cx300 i would consider it, but not at £60.
to summarise:
high end is sharper almost to a fault on the s4 for most music. you may suffer sizzling effect in some (this is not an mp3 compression issue, i tested all with flac) which begins to fatigue after a while.
mid tops are clearer on the s4. they don't get muddy in some music like the cx300 do.
mids are pretty much even on both sets of phones. can't really fault either pair here as i have never used anything that can show me a better representation of mids.
bass is preferable on the cx300 if you enjoy dominant bass. the s4 fails at reproducing sub bass levels very well and overall bass level is too low for me, but the cx300 i sometimes find too much.
all testing was done on my meizu m6 ts.

"Wheel of Fortune" Contestant Loses Chance at Prize After Mispronouncing Word
(NEW YORK) -- Contestant Renee Durette was on a roll toward thousands of dollars on the game show Wheel of Fortune.
She had the winning answer to the word puzzle — "Seven Swans a Swimming" — or so she thought.
Durette, a Navy Intel Specialist from Merritt Island, Fla., dropped the "g" — pronouncing "swimming" as "swimmin'."
Host Pat Sajak had to backtrack and said he couldn't accept her answer, costing her the $3,850 she had accumulated.
"That's kind of how I speak, you know, being from Florida and I asked for the 'g' so I knew it was there," Durette said.
Judges said the answer violated the rules because it was spoken in vernacular.
The decision sparked outrage on Twitter and even the other contestant who was handed the win couldn't believe it.
"It definitely spun the tone of the show and the momentum that I thought I had. And I lost it and it wound up costing me the show," Durette said.
While the outcome did not go her way, it did not dampen Durette's overall experience on the show.
"I had an absolute amazing experience. It's just been so funny to see where I've been and what kind of Internet footprint I have now and it's kind of been so crazy," she said. "I feel like I should be out with big sunglasses and a big hat."

Peri-menopause/menopause and migraines08/13/2007 |
I have never had migraines and have been having headaches on and off for 5 weeks saw a physician yesterday and he thinks that I might have migraines. Sometimes they have been associated with some nausea. I am almost menopausal.
It is not uncommon for headaches/migraines to become more frequent during the menopause transition. It is less common for headaches to start then. Follow up with your physician to be sure nothing else is causing the headaches.

Script Analysis Service - Cineuropa.org
Do you have a feature film project, a series in development or an animation script and would like a professional's opinion? Do you have doubts regarding the development of the intrigue? Are you still unsure of how the characters are portrayed? Would you like to know the commercial potential of your script?
The script editors at the Cineuropa.org Script Analysis Service will provide you with the answers to all these questions and more!
Why are an analysis and a script editor important?
Each piece of writing needs to be reviewed on a regular basis by a critical eye that can guide you in the right direction. But perhaps no one around you has the expertise needed to offer you advice on such points as dramaturgy, for example…
In that case, consult the services of a professional writing expert to improve your script!
Cineuropa.org has put together a team of professional script editors who can help you reformulate your ideas and check your work. Members of this team include: Martin Dale (fiction – English, Portuguese), Colin Davis (animation, English, French), Ana Sanz Magallón (fiction – Spanish, English), Elizabeth Verry (fiction and animation – French), Lucie Mollof (fiction – French, English, Italian, German), Lene Borglum (fiction, animation - Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Icelandic), Adele Dorothy Ciampa (fiction – English). You can read their profile by clicking on their names.
Scripts can be sent in any one of the four languages of the Cineuropa.org site (English, French, Italian, Spanish), as well as in Portuguese, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Icelandic or German. The scripts can be for cinema or television, fiction or animation, single programmes or a series.
How does the service work?
Writers and producers are asked to send our service a synopsis (maximum 5 pages), along with their script specifying the version of the script (1st / 2nd / 3rd version).
You will receive expert advice on the following points:
- Originality of the project
- Treatment of the genre
- Treatment of the themes
- Analysis of the structure
- Analysis of the characters, their portrayal, their evolution
- Dialogues
- Commercial potential, market positioning
Please follow this procedure:
- The writer or producer is asked to send their script and a synopsis of no more than 5 pages to: email@example.com
- On the basis of the synopsis and script, the Cineuropa team will evaluate if the project meets the criteria required for an analysis to be carried out.
- If so, the writer or the producer is informed and asked to transfer the sum of €300 to the Cineuropa account (For companies or individuals based in the EU and not registered for VAT, Cineuropa.org is obliged to charge you for it. In this case, the service will cost €363.).

At first blush a distinguished entry alongside such cleverly constructed and lovingly crafted mockumentaries as Orson Welles' "F for Fake," Woody Allen's "Zelig," Werner Herzog's "A Trick of the Light" and even recent B.O. phenom "The Blair Witch Project," Gordian Maugg's prodigiously imaginative and altogether enthralling "Hans Warns -- My 20th Century" has the added emotional punch of being a true story.
At first blush a distinguished entry alongside such cleverly constructed and lovingly crafted mockumentaries as Orson Welles' "F for Fake," Woody Allen's "Zelig," Werner Herzog's "A Trick of the Light" and even recent B.O. phenom "The Blair Witch Project," Gordian Maugg's prodigiously imaginative and altogether enthralling "Hans Warns — My 20th Century" has the added emotional punch of being a true story. Bravura item is a must for fests, while current popularity of this cinematic approach suggests strong arthouse possibilities and vigorous ancillary life.
Maugg makes dead-on use of Warns' original footage and photos, supplemented with staged sequences faithful to silent and docu aesthetics, in the service of a seafaring story spanning a century of German history. "My photographs don't reveal my thoughts to the people who admire them today," says 94-year-old German seaman and amateur photographer Hans Warns on the occasion of an exhibit of his pictures in 1993. But his modesty is misleading. Born in the seacoast town of Bremen in 1899, young Hans signs on the "classy bark" Herbert in 1914, persuading his mother to shell out five marks for a still camera before setting off for Chile and a life of adventure. As his hobby grows into an obsession, Warns supplements his photographs with primitive motion picture footage, documenting the Herbert's six months of capture during World War I; his study of navigation in mid-1920s Hamburg and subsequent life at sea; the wooing of neighbor girl Wilma and their long but sporadic family life together; German prosperity in the 1930s (including 1936's "summer of the century," featuring the Olympic Games); his courageous wartime feats of blockade running as a merchant seaman and postwar escapades. Warns is played convincingly by a succession of four actors, while Julia Jessen strikes a contempo note as the unflaggingly patient Wilma. Tech credits are first-rate, defying identification as real or staged. Utilizing a panoply of techniques and effects, including sepia tinting, irises, decorative chapter titles and multilingual intertitles, unintentional jump cuts and distressed footage, pic consistently delights in its own premise, with Maugg's innate understanding of the strictures and eccentricities of silent and docu aesthetics lending equal parts dignity and mischief (a baby pulls on projector cord and film obligingly stops) to the proceedings.Hans Warns - My 20th Century
