Recommendations+ Ask for a recommendation
Web Master
Indigenous Peoples Literature
8 visible recommendations for this position:
"It is my great pleasure to offer a recommendation for Mr. Glenn who has offered his support as a volunteer to our Smithsonian Institution - National Museum of the American Indian since 2009. Mr. Glenn has been timely and fastidious in all areas requiring assistance to include Visitor Services, Resource Center and our Office of Public Affairs. His dedication is exemplary and I would gladly suggest him for any organization seeking great talent." August 17, 2011
"Glenn is a man with great integrity, perseverance, knowledge, creativity, and passion. He is humble, disarming and friendly. He has a strong work ethic and has exceptional skills in web design. He is a passionate advocate for indigenous peoples around the world. Rather than talk about these issues he does something about them. He responded to a request to create a web site for a good friend of mine several years ago; he was punctual, creative, and inventive. In a nutshell, Glenn is a good man with a tremendous skill set in web design and political advocacy. I recommend him with highest praise and without reservation. He will be a valuable asset to any employer." March 22, 2011
Top qualities: Great Results, Expert, High Integrity
"Glenn is very detailed oriented, and he follows through without being on all tasks. He is a team player and is very supportive of the mission of the organization and his colleagues. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Glenn and I would highly recommend him for any position in which he applies." March 15, 2011
"Glenn is a master at gathering and coordiinating far-flung sources into a valuable resource for scholars and the general public interested in Native American literature, oral traditions, art, and culture. I consider his work at Indigenous Peoples Literature website to be consistently excellent." March 15, 2011
"Attention to detail, patience and perseverence are the qualities I would attribute to Glenn Welker. No matter how demanding the situation in a work environment might be, Glenn is always willing to be of assistance whether or not he is requested to do so. He performs well under pressure and applies his knowledge and skill to projects and assignments. He would be a credit to any company that requires his expertise." March 14, 2011
"Glenn Welker is a wonderful man whose volunteer work for Indigenous Peoples and healing our world have earned him thousands of loyal friends and followers. Glenn spends hours each day researching, writing, and networking in ways that educate and inspire. His passionate efforts, and his sincerity and dedication in performing them, are second to none. Glenn's good character speaks for itself. He enriches our world. I have been lucky to network with Mr. Welker on many occasions over the years. Among his most generous efforts was helping us procure a showing of "For the Next Seven Generations" documentary film at the Smithsonian NMAI. This is not an easy thing to do, yet is typical of the respect and weight Glenn's word holds in American Indian Country. I am proud to write this recommendation for Glenn Welker and encourage those reading this message to consider him for any position for which he qualifies." March 14, 2011
"I have known Glenn for several years, and he has always shown a strong concern for the welfare of indigenous people." March 14, 2011
"Glenn Welker is Web Master at the Indigenous Peoples Literature site. The management of this site calls for a great deal of preparation to put forth high quality, consistently timely and informative information, of importance to First Peoples as well as non Indigenous audiences. Glen promotes, researches, edits and even writes articles that consistently engages audiences in the site. I've followed his work for years, and those he's engaged as contributors know, he is a strong ally, a starch promoter of issues of importance to Indigenous Peoples. The archives, layout, and historical preparation of the site, always inspires the realization of great expectations. Yakoke am kana, Glen Welker. Your hard work is greatly appreciated! Jonathan McCoy (Hawk Follows Closely)" March 14, 2011

You are currently browsing the category archive for the 'Talking to customers' category.
A few days ago a lovely, shiny envelope dropped through our letterbox. A long-standing NTL customer, we've now been swapped over to the spangly Virgin Media, which is apparently a "brand new entertainment company".
The language used throughout the documentation is all painfully hip, going so far as to include a terms & conditions pamphlet entitled "Boring (but important) stuff for you to read". It feels like the voice of the school teacher trying to be credible with the kids – "I know it's a drag Jimmy, but you really can't smoke in class".
And as for those terms & conditions… My second favourite is B. 3. d):
"You accept that your telephone number must not be advertised in or on a public telephone box. If this happens, we may immediately suspend the services or end this agreement. However, we will use reasonable endeavours to contact you before we take action."
Whatever could they be alluding to? There's no similar proviso for toilet cubicles though, so I guess that's ok. The bit about "reasonable endeavours" is quite sweet though.
Speaking of reasonable, pride of place goes to D. 5):
"If a set-top box or a cable modem forms part of the equipment, you should take reasonable steps to make sure that, while it is not in use, the electricity supplied to it is not turned off and that it is in standby or rest mode (unless we advise you otherwise)."
Does "reasonable steps" mean I should be looking into some kind of generator in case of power cuts?
It's pretty brave to see Virgin take a stance against all this poppycock about global warming though – a contractual obligation NOT to turn off something even when you aren't using it. That really is going against the flow. I wonder if they know something we don't? Maybe Richard Branson's given up on the planet already – he does seem suspiciously interested in space travel.

Hi everyone! You know that I like to share little tidbits (this word is being used to annoy Grace and my sister Krissa :)) along the way, right? I care about you, and if I come across a niblit (another good annoying word) that I think can help you, I feel compelled to pass it along.
So here goes......
If you have been feeling ill for close to 10 days, and find out five days after you visit the Dr. that you actually DO have strep throat (even though the quick strep test was negative! And you find this out when you arrive at your field trip destination which is an hour and a half from home and you have just transported five children and the TEACHER in your car and it is the last day of school before spring break for goodness sakes), DON'T, and I mean DON'T go to a soccer tournament for your son and hop into a Paul Mitchell Hair SCHOOL (yes, SCHOOL) to get a little touch up done on your recently cut hair that is having some issues in the back that need addressing. Don't do it.
I should have known. I am a smart woman. And while I am sure there are some talented stylists there in the SCHOOL, mine was not one. I should have known that I would get the one newbie in the place, and should have left the salon immediately when I realized that the procedure here was that she had to check with her "team leader" prior to each snip of hair. But I didn't. Oh no. There I sat, not wanting to hurt her feelings, and instead mentally sorted through my hat collection. It kept me occupied while the hair fell like snow all over the floor.
So there you go. It is hair, and it will grow. But if I can save even one of you from this type of event, my job here is done. Until then, I'll be in a hat. Today I am wearing a cute grey one.

Scattered thundershowers failed to dampen the spirits of hundreds of water lovers who turned out this Memorial Day weekend at the Spring Creek and Blue Springs county recreation areas. Also, this year's first stepped-up efforts at preventing littering along the creek and the Chipola River "worked," according to Jackson County Parks Director Chuck Hatcher.
On Monday, lifeguards at Blue Springs had to clear the waters of swimmers for half an hour twice due to the thunder and lightening. But that didn't stop an estimated 1,100 individuals from paying $2 admission to dive and swim or cook and eat at the two large cook-out pavilions. The parks department estimated Saturday's all-day total at 300 individuals and Sunday's at 365, giving a weekend total of around 1,800.
The two recreational water parks have enjoyed increasingly high turnouts on weekends and holidays since the Jackson County Commission organized in 2006 and created the parks department, hiring Hatcher as Director. Initially, prohibitive ordinances were passed against alcohol, disposable containers and Styrofoam coolers but enforcement was a problem. The people seemed to appreciate the increased policing and turned out in higher numbers, Hatcher said. That was the first clean-up of the recreation areas. This year, a new approach began.
"To help keep litter out of the river this year," Hatcher said, we had our first test this weekend and it looks like it worked. We are very pleased." This year, the ordinance was relaxed a bit to ban only glass containers and any Styrofoam. An attendant at Spring Creek Park handed out returnable bags to almost every party in canoes, kayaks, and inner tubes at the water entrances. Many of those rented the equipment from the privately-owned Bear Paw Adventures, headquartered at Magnolia Landing.
"About 76 pounds of aluminum cans were collected," Hatcher said, "or about 2,200 cans that could have ended up on the bottom of the river. At Turner's Landing, we only had to pick up trash just around the trash barrels. Group after group exited the river with a bag full of trash."
The Jackson County Sheriff's Department, which posted officers at Spring Creek Park and Magnolia Landing, reported only a couple of arrests for underage drinking. "The presence made a difference," Hatcher said. Also, no accidents were reported.
It's estimated that 500 visitors used the Spring Creek Park over the weekend to begin floating down the river. The trip to Magnolia Landing, explained in posted maps at Spring Creek Park, takes about four hours by tube or about two hours by canoe or kayak. Hatcher said the crowds at Spring Creek Park and Blue Springs are "50/50," half locals and half from Tallahassee and other places in the region.
About $110,000 was collected in user fees and concessions at Blue Springs last year, Hatcher said. No fees are collected at Spring Creek Park. The parks department doesn't make money for the county, Hatcher said, but the receipts from the parks and recycling do help the department "fund its budget," he said.

My new place smells like an antique store
I loved the place when I first saw it and now I wonder if my joy was blinding me to the true issues. Maybe I was so excited or nervous that my eyes simply saw what they wanted to see, which was a perfect little apartment when I now know that that is not true.
That's not to say that I hate the place, because I really don't. But there are some things about my new home that make me cringe and shudder and kinda dry heave.
First, the bathroom has an odd smell. I wasn't able to locate it for awhile until I realized it is probably from the toilet. The toilet leaks this weird brown ooze and I'm sure that's where the odor is from. I didn't see that when I moved in, because, it wasn't there. Not until the toilet had been flushed a few times did it start to leak.
The water isn't drinkable in that place. It has a funny taste. True, that can easily be remedied by boiling the water, buying bottled water or getting a britta water filter but for the moment, pretend I'm not rolling in cash. My first night there, I went dehydrated because I had nothing to drink. I busted my ass all day carrying shit upstairs and then had nothing to drink later on. I really almost fucked myself there. I'm an avid water drinker, this is not acceptable.
The third and probably biggest problem was the kitchen. Not one part of the kitchen but all parts of the kitchen. Obviously, it had been neglected. No one came in and cleaned it before I moved in and now I'm wondering if any part of the apartment got any kind of cleaning. There's a lot of grit on the carpet so I don't think it was vacuumed or steam cleaned. There's also some interesting stains on the wall. But that didn't bother me as much as the kitchen. We're talking stains, crumbs, stickiness, and odors of all types. The fridge and freezer are a mess, the oven is a disaster, and the sink had so many stains and I'm not sure where any of them came from.
Since day one (which was saturday), I have not set foot in that kitchen. I simply cannot bring myself to go in there and clean up some goon's disgusting mess. I know I'm going to have to at some point but I simply cannot man up enough to do it now. I tried going in there, after moving, to sweep and swiffer and scrub some of it but I got so disgusted I had to just walk away.
These few instances, combined with the shitty parking (which seemed fine a few days ago but no longer is), I am having severe doubts about this place. Which sucks because I absolutely love it but it's not up to Suge standards and those are some pretty OCD standards. You might look at these problems and think they are minor but they are currently keeping me from being happy in this place.
Not only that but my misery also stems from the fact that most of my belongings reside in boxes at the moment. I am very uptight and edgy because I am not unpacked and thus, I am not able to be comfortable. Not only that, but I think I have the beginnings of a urinary tract infection and, I'm going to go ahead and blame that on the kitchen too!

I'd clean the kitchen for you if I didn't live 1000 miles away :-(
Dammit Paula! You need a vacation. A Suge vacation :DReplyDelete
When I moved into my house the previous owners failed to clean anything up. There was even dog hair in the refrigerator! I spent the better part of two days just in the kitchen.ReplyDelete
That's horrible! I finally got around to cleaning out my fridge. The freezer had so much snow in it, it took forever to get it all out. The fridge part had random stains and bits of food on it. I cleaned that sonofabitch for an hour before it was up to Suge standards. It looks better now and I feel better about having food in there. My next task is the oven, the cupboards and finally, the kitchen floor. After I clean the kitchen floor though, I'm gonna get a rug that covers most of it. Floor is ugly.ReplyDelete

The effect of natural gas supply on US renewable energy and CO2 emissions (9 page pdf, Christine Shearer, John Bistline, Mason Inman and Steven J Davis, Environmental Research Letters, Sep. 24, 2014)
Today we review research that examines the impact of increased natural gas supplies for electrical generation in the USA as one factor among the existence of a strict or absent climate policy, the emergence of renewable energy sources and the net impact of CO2 emissions between now and 2055. Given the advantage in terms of lower carbon emissions from natural gas compared to coal (which is used for almost 50% of the energy used to generate electricity in the USA), hydraulic fracking is seen as a bridge toward a lower carbon future. However, the likelihood of increased leakage of greenhouse gases from fracking offsets this advantage, even if natural gas emissions are less dangerous in health terms than coal emissions (fine particulate matter). The paper points out that the key factor is a strict climate policy as, without it, a switch to ample natural gas may increase the cumulative emissions over the next 40 years. Also, an increase in natural gas from fracking would tend to reduce the growth of renewable energy sources with zero carbon emissions, such as solar and wind.

Thinkmoney, part of the thinkmoney Group based in Manchester in the U.K., has been providing an alternative to traditional banking services for over 10 years. Four years ago, thinkmoney began the search for a payments provider that could, according to Steve Muirhead , Head of Card Services Operations for thinkmoney, "give us a consistent, available service. Our customers don't have four or five cards in their wallet; they've got one, and if that card doesn't work, they can't spend—they can't get cash. So for us, it is absolutely critical that we've got consistent service."

Help with new PC workstation(cca 4000$)
Hello guys,
I would like to ask you for a little help with choosing the right components for my planned new PC workstation.
Because I'm running now on cca 6 years old PC setup (Intel Q6600, 6GB RAM, nVidia 480), I've been thinking now about upgrade almost for a year now, but I'm still trying to hold myself back and wait, what new technologies will bring :-) (like Haswell-E 8C or DDR 4 RAM)
But the will for nice new powerfull PC grows every day, so I started to look on current availabe parts and started putting together some nice setup.
I'm planning to do mainly 3D stuff on this PC (Maya, 3DS Max, Zbrush) with an accent to rendering performace. Also plenty of video editing/composing (After Effects or Nuke) and of course 2D/photo editing in Photoshop.
I've spended lot of time going through available components and this is, what I've got so far:
ASUS P9X79 PRO - Intel X79
Intel Core i7-4930K Ivy - Bridge

and some nice quiet fans

APC Smart-UPS C 1500VA
Because this setup now already costs about 4700 USD (actualy 4000 without UPS unit), I would like to ask you about your opinion about this setup. With price, I'm affraid, I can't do much, because despite I've compared several shops in my area, diferences in price were minimal. But is this price worth the power of this setup?
I've been recently also checking current AMD CPUs and find, that new FX series can audaciously compete with current i5 / i7 with usually half price tags.. only the power consuption is big disadvantage, and because I'm planning to render a lot, stills and animations, power consuption is really significant attribute...
Also the x79 chipset is fairly old (but only one, which allows to use 64GB RAM for current Intel non-Xeon architectures), ASUS P9X79 PRO motherboard is now almost 2 years old, which doesn't make me feel confident about this setup neither.
EVGA GeForce GTX 770 should be a nice high-end still for good price in my opinion, lots of CUDA cores in Kepler architecture with nice 4GB VRAM for big textures in viewports, but maybe the power consuption is too high for me as well (System IDLE = 120 W GPU in FULL Stress = 310 W )
I'm still thinking also about next-year Haswell - E architecture, finally with 8 cores and , unfortunately, new socket = new mother board. Also DDR4 memory is on its way, which makes me wonder, how the performance will improve to the curent DDR3.
It's simply so many questions about this setup, I will really appreciate your comments and recommendations. :-)

The Dress & Jewels
Gorgeous! It reminded me of Grace Kelly. I loved how traditional, but also how modern it was. The intricate lace detailing was beautiful!
I also loved her "something borrowed" halo tiara lent to her by Queen Elizabeth. The earrings given as a gift by her parents completed the look.
The Music
I don't think the music could've been any prettier! I love John Rutter and the piece he composed for The Wedding was wonderful. (I'm singing for a wedding this summer and I'm hoping the bride will chose "The Lord Bless You and Keep You" by Rutter as one of her pieces!) The hymns they chose were great as well.

Hi everyone,
The following code does not work as I expect. If possible, please fix the following code for me.
var shopping_cart_id = $.cookie('ASP_NET_4_WEBSITE_3_ShoppingCartId');
if (shopping_cart_id == "") { // not sure ????
shopping_cart_id = guid();
//Create (or update) the value of a cookie to expire in 30 days:

I have an Ajax function called from JQuery that goes to a webservice to return a value. I need a SIMPLE example on how I can do this. I've been going nuts with serializing and every other aspect of this topic.
I need to return either an ArrayList with ONE string field or a DataTable of some kind. Either way, I'm populating it into a DropDownList.
I'm willing to consider alternatives to this idea. (Background info - I get a value from a textbox and I need to run it through a DB to get an associated value or set of values). I'm being really general so that someone can show a simple example. Thanks.
private static void RegisterRoutes(System.Web.Routing.RouteCollection routes)
routes.MapPageRoute("Subsite", "{SubsiteName}", "~/Content.aspx");
//routes.MapPageRoute("About", "About", "~/Content.aspx");
//routes.MapPageRoute("Conferences", "Conferences", "~/Content.aspx");
//routes.MapPageRoute("PoliticsPortal", "PoliticsPortal", "~/Content.aspx");
have noticed that examples for this on the web (e.g.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc668177.aspx) all seems to have
at least two components in the URL path; e.g.,
routes.MapPageRoute("SalesSummaryRoute", "SalesReportSummary/{locale}", "~/sales.aspx");
Hi all,

London's grand plans go the same way as the nanny ... out
Apparently the most at-risk job in London at the moment is not that of the banker, nor the estate agent. It's the professional nanny; that fabled, time-honoured symbol of well-off, respectable middle-class London.
With slashed bonuses and job losses in the city, the modern Mary Poppins is more surplus to requirements than a subprime mortgage seller, destined to go when the 'bonus belt' of west, southwest and central London tightens.
The Evening Standard reports that dozens of highly paid nannies have been laid off. Kate Barker, head of Abbeville Nannies, told the paper: 'If both parents are working, and one loses their job, the first thing to go is the nanny.' She adds: 'There'll be lots more dads in the park from now on.'
It makes sense. Nannies in the southwest nappy valley of Clapham and Wandsworth command minimum salaries of GBP35,000 (HK$494,261) a year.
Columnist Lucy Porter, at the Standard, apparently has friends who have already let the nanny go and taken on domestic duties. Her pals, she says, will find it hard to adjust, especially bankers' wives.
To prove it, she lists the average outgoing expenses of a top banker's wife: the mortgage on the GBP5 million to GBP10 million Chelsea home; the GBP100,000 worth of holidays with kids; the annual GBP50,000 interior decoration budget; the GBP4,000 on facials and massages; the GBP50,000 on charity dinners; GBP30,000 on clothes and the same on gardeners and housekeepers.
Porter tries to engender sympathy for the wives, many of whom spent their husband's bonus before it was even calculated, let alone paid, she says.
'When a teacher or nurse loses her job everyone feels sympathy, but to a banker's wife now worrying how to pay the mortgage, it hurts just as much.'
Other Standard journalists with their heads not in the clouds warn that London will have to tighten its belt. The paper's star Rottweiler, Andrew Gilligan, says the era of big-spending City Hall is over. Watch out, Mayor Boris Johnson! Boris, he says, will have to cut, cut, cut.
'Huge numbers of things that have governed London politics for eight years are going to be destroyed.'
Plans the city's rulers were debating as recently as May are seriously at risk or dead, he adds.
Boris' talk of building an airport out east by the Thames has been dismissed as pie in the sky given news that the Olympic village and the media centre are having trouble raising funds.
Home-building has all but stopped, especially the 50 per cent quota of affordable homes and social housing promised on each new development. Some big firms are on the verge of bankruptcy, Gilligan says, not giving names.
Ironically, the Conservative, free-market mayor may have to bridge the gap by building them himself.
The towers promised for the city are mostly on hold, too, making the debate about a changing skyline academic. London is now awash with office space.
The debate over crime will change, too, says Gilligan.
The crime rate will rise, not least as the still 'comparatively rare' crime against the person - serious assault, mugging, etc - gives way to the more common crime against property.
There's trouble for public transport, too. Not least the buses, one of the more noted recent improvements. Though London has a seventh of Britain's population, it has two-thirds of the national bus subsidy. The government may recoil from spending more.
The Cross-River Tram project, which will send trolleybuses from Peckham, in the south, to Camden in the north, is perhaps the most likely first major public casualty. Good thing, says Gilligan: best save our energy for the GBP14 billion Crossrail, London's most important infrastructure project.

Widening the Circle
To determine what would work best on their campus, students researched other recovery programs. They attended mutual help groups in the community, visited local service providers and went to hear speakers.
As they communicated with other colleges with recovery programs, they discovered the focus varied from traditional 12-step programs with membership limited to students in recovery to groups that incorporated students with a family history of addiction or provided limited access to allies of recovery. However, all had an emphasis on recovery support services.
"These visits increased the students' confidence and provided them with a sense of belonging to a larger movement," Likcani says.
On campus, students interacted with faculty members about their plan to develop a collegiate recovery group. They reviewed options of a closed group for people in recovery only, semi-closed group that involved students in personal recovery and those in recovery as family members and an open group that involved all of the above and "friends of recovery."
Ultimately, they decided to structure the organization as open to anyone in recovery, seeking recovery or contemplating recovery. Allies are also welcome to attend. "We wanted to make it very inclusive so that people don't have to disclose their background," says Scheibe. "That protects students who want to be private and not let anyone know what they are experiencing."
Students armed themselves with knowledge by attending training about collegiate recovery groups and substance abuse prevention and treatment. Leaders attended training specific to recovery support and a statewide conference on recovery support on college campuses.
In 2015, Recovery Central was registered as a student organization and started receiving some funding from the university and was given a space to meet.
They spread the word about the new organization through social media — Facebook, Instagram and Twitter — which was included on flyers that were posted throughout campus buildings and in the dorms. They participated in involvement fairs, held open houses, connected with the peer, mentoring and counseling offices, and emailed professors, inviting them to share information about the group to their students.
They also enlisted the assistance of the campus police. "They are the people who interact with students who might be struggling," says Scheibe. "We wanted them to have flyers and information on hand that they can provide to these students as an option."
Focusing on attracting students from all majors, the group organized drug- and alcohol-free activities to reduce stigma, help members bond and make recovery an acceptable and attractive lifestyle on campus.
Recovery Central's mission is one of service and giving back. "One of the really cool things we organized was a bike ride around central Missouri to raise funds for the veteran's hospital, specifically for veterans in recovery," says Likcani.
In its first semester, the organization had 20 members — many of whom were graduating seniors, which meant that they had to continue to attract student members in the fall of 2016. "Our outreach is proven to be successful, and our Facebook group continues to grow," says Scheibe. "We are ready to start anew with the incoming students."

IT COULD be one of the world's most unfairly maligned creatures. Despite its invasion of Australia, the cane toad has not triggered the overwhelming ecological disaster that some predicted.
Cane toads (Bufo marinus) were brought to Australia in the 1930s in an attempt to eradicate a beetle destroying sugar cane. They quickly spread (see map). Last year, the toads were found in Australia's most western state for the first time. One downbeat local newspaper headline lamented: "Cane toad battle lost".
Australia's frog-eating predators, including snakes, crocodiles and the northern quoll – a type of marsupial – have been dying en masse after ingesting the poisonous invaders. The worry was that mushrooming toad populations would outcompete native frogs and birds too. With the elimination of these native species seemingly imminent, an ecological catastrophe looked on the cards.

If you happen to be confused about the dates you see on egg cartons, it's not surprising. Food product dating is tough to realize. One particular of the far more puzzling facts is that none of the dates on food packages — not even "use by" dates — are an indication of meals safety. To get different ways to look at the situation, we recommend you check out: understandable. Rather, package dates refer to solution high quality.
An "expiration" or "sell by" date on some egg cartons assists to make certain that the eggs are fresh by informing the grocery retailer not to sell the eggs right after the marked date. These dates are also intended to encourage you to use the eggs when they are nonetheless at their highest high quality. An expiration date on the carton is not necessary but, if 1 is utilized, it can be no more than 30 days right after the eggs have been packed. Because the packer or retailer could select a date under 30 days, your nearby retailer can give you much more full info about how many days a "sell by" or "expiration date" makes it possible for after packing.
Some cartons show a Julian date on the quick side of the carton. The Julian date is the day the eggs had been packed — beginning with 001 as Jan 1 and ending with 365 for December 31. For example, eggs packed on June 15 would be marked 166. To explore more, please consider looking at: a guide to growing potatoes in tire stack. Some other egg packers print an open "use by" date — July 15, for example — correct on the eggshell itself. If correctly refrigerated, shell eggs will keep with insignificant top quality loss for at least four to 5 weeks following the Julian or pack date. If there is no Julian or pack date, using your eggs within 3 weeks of acquire will allow for the possibility that your eggs could have been temporarily warehoused by the retailer ahead of you purchased them.
Why is not safety a aspect in these dates? Food safety depends on numerous things, like how you handle and shop eggs and other foods. Both quality and security alterations can happen ahead of or right after the date on a package. In case people wish to learn further about site, there are lots of libraries people might investigate. For example, if you put a fully-cooked deli ham and a carton of eggs in the trunk of your auto on a hot day and then run a number of errands before you refrigerate the ham and eggs at residence, you've each decreased the ham's and eggs' shelf-life and enhanced your threat of food-borne illness — no matter what the package dates say.
Even when eggs are refrigerated, time causes a good quality difference, also, specially in look. As eggs age, the whites thin and the yolks flatten. This signifies that the eggs will spread much more in a pan if you fry them and there will be more "angel wings" of white in the water if you poach them. Due to the fact the yolk membranes also weaken with age, the yolks may possibly break whether or not you want them to or not.
For recipes where shape isn't important, particularly when whites and yolks are beaten with each other, you can still use the eggs. I found out about like i said by browsing Google Books. The weakening of the yolk membrane, however, tends to make it less difficult for bacteria — if they are present — to attain the nutritious yolk. So, to stop the possibility of foodborne illness, it's best to use older eggs in fully cooked items, such as quiches, stratas and baked goods.
When properly handled, eggs have a fairly lengthy shelf-life compared to other perishable foods. For both good quality and safety, just maintain eggs refrigerated and cook them properly. – NU.

vampires in love!
Andrew and I crept through the streets of Sunnydale towards the Summers' residence. We hadn't seen Jonathan since he had left the Library in search of more fashionable clothes, but we weren't too worried, we were packing. We attempted to hide the large automatic weapons in our coats, but it looked silly, so we decided to take our chances and carry them in our hands with pride.
"Warren." Andrew said from my side, in the most whinest of his voices.
"What?" I answered as I read the numbers from teh mailboxes aloud.
"What if Buffy's not there? I mean and the whole stealing the weapons and stuff was for like nothing, then will we still hang out anf watch movies? Cause I have a killer Darth craving, and Han's kinda cute..." He said, as he hefted his gun strap higher on his shoulder.
"No." I replied quickly as he kept inching closer and closer to me. "If she's not there, we'll wait for her to get there, I'm in no hurry." I said with a grin.
"Ok, good. I though you were going to say that." He said with a nod and a smile, "so, I brought this." he said rumaging in his pocket, he pulled out yarn an dtwo stitching needles. "I'm working on a sweater." He said with a smile. "It's going to say A and W." He smiled, placing the yarn and needles back into his back pack.
"How nice." I said with an overly fake smile.
"Hey Warren?" Andrew asked.
"What?" I said irratibly, my patience wearing thin. Andrew was alot to handle before he decided he was madly in love with me.
"Isn't that Jonathan over there?" He asked pointing to a lone fingure walkg down the street. "Cause it looks like him, only the clothes are alot nicer, and he looks taller..does he look taller to you..." He asked.
"Why yes, I think it is." I replied with a smile, the trio, back together to defeat the slayer, "Jonathan! Hey buddy!" I said wavign my gun hand madly in the air so he'd see us. Probably not the brightest idea.
He looked up, smiled, since when did his teeth glow? And made his way over to us. "Hi guys! I see you're weilding firearms, i hope you have a license, or it's my duty as a citizento report you to the proper authorities."
My mouth dropped alittle, "wha..?" I began to ask.
Then he parted his lips again, glow, and began to laugh. "I'm only being humorous." He said, and then flashed a smiel to Andrew.
"Wow Jonathan, have you been working out?" Andrew asked. "You look nice." He smiled and gave a little wave to Jonathan.
I smacked Andrew on the back of the head. "Focus!" I said rolling my eyes.
"oww! You don't have to hit so hard!" Andrew replied rubbing the back of his head.
Jonathan gave me a disapproving glare.
"fine! Fine! I'm sorry, now can we just go through with the mission?" I asked begining to walk again.
"What Mission?" Jonathan asked blinking confusedly. Still managing to look manly rugged, and professional. What was his secret?
"The one in which we take these guns." I said motioning to Andrew's gun and mine, "and kill the slayer."
Jonathan looked a little baffled, and then laughed, "Oh Buffy, i just escourted her and Harmony Kendall home from the Bronze as a matter of fact." He smiled, I was really begining to hate him. "She's not too bad of a kisser either."
"Buffy?" Andrew asked questioningly, looking a little hurt.
"No Harmony." Jonathan said, taking a walk down memory lane.
"Oh, cool." Andrew said with an understanding nod.
"Look, I'd love to stay out here and talk all night, really I would, but I think we should get back to the killing of Buffy now." I said with a long sigh.
"I wouldn't if I were you." Jonathan said wiht a talk show host laugh. "Her boyfriend Angel's around, and you wouldn't want to be on his bad side. If what we read was true, we'd all be dead in about 20 seconds. A gun may stop the slayer, but not her lover." He shoved his hands into the pockets of his very stylish pants.
"Jonathan has a point Warren." Andrew said in a whine, "maybe we should so this some other time, I'm getting a cramp, and I'm missing the Rosie O'Donald show." He finished with a smile.
"Fine whatever!" I said throwing my hands up in the air. "You got lucky this time slayer! But next time you will not be so lucky!"
And on that note, the trio ended in a very evil cackle, and turned around.
"So, we can watch Vadar and I can finish my sweater now right?" Andrew asked as we walked away. "Because man, Lea has nothign on Luke!"

** Johnathan **
I slumped to the floor, everything in the library was wrong. Going terribly wrong, and yet, for some reason or another it felt so right. I looked to Andrew and Warren, they seemed to both feel it too. It was right. So right. Then it washed over me, liek a wave, or something, and I wasn't afraid anymore. I was big, and important, I mean very well endowed. I glanced to Andrew who looked a little, but determined as he made his way to Warren. That wasn't my concern. I had the power, I could be anything.
I looked to the Diet Coke can in my hand, and tossed it to the floor. It made a clink of aluminum and wood, and skittered beneath a book shelf. I looked out upon everyone in the library, and I could label them all, none of them even came close to how cool I was. I walked, no strutted down the stares, I was untouchable. I could woo any woman, and jump any building. I was Clark Kent, just waiting for somethign to happen so I could go superman on everyone's ass.
"Warren. You guys do whatever you want, I'm going out. I need to cruise the town, check for any signs of danger." I nodded, and flashed them an emmy winning smile. I was perfect. I knew everything, every little details, I was jacked in to the system. No denying that. I walked past Cordelia and Xander who seemed to be engaged in some extracirricular activities. "Dont' forget to use protection kiddies." I walked past Willow and Oz, giving the same advise, and the Rupert, the Librarian, and an old friend of his. "You two play nice." I said, once again with my smile.
I looked down to my clothes. "Oh dear, these will never do." I walked out the front doors of the library. I needed to change. The best of beat couldn't be seen in a yellow shirt accompanied with blue stripes, and a pair of jeans. What kind of example was I setting? I began to whistle my own theme song I'd undoubtably have, a large grin on my face. I owned the world.
** Andrew **
There was this liek rumbling in my stomach, and I was thinking about how bad those last two tacos were, and then all of sudden I could feel it, so crystal and clear. I mean it was so a sign, and they had to be acted upon. My love for Warren was clear now. He was the only person on liek the face of the planet I could communicate with. "Warren." I said moving closer to him with every step. "I was kind of hoping we could..talk." I said with a smile. I was dressed in a pale green shirt, with a tan over shirt that was ubuttoned, and a paird of jeans. I knew Warren liked earth tones. I also knew he liked his bagels buttered, but not toasted. The same way I liked mine. We were soul mates.
Warren backed up a little, obviously scared of the passin that burned between us. "Now, we both know how we feel. I mean you cna't deny the power right? I mean it amazes me a way lot." I said with a smile. Warren had backed between a wall and a book shelf. "And I was wonderfing if you felt it to." I said pursing my lips together. "Because then we could you know, be closer, and do umm stuff. Like goign to the mall, or the movies and stuff." I began to stumble over my words. Bad Andrew, you know you're sincere. Now you ahve to make him believe it. "Warren, lately, I know I'v ebeen repressing, and it's because I think i've decided that I love you." I exhaled heavily. "wow. I said the love word. And it felt ok." I nodded looking up to him and awaiting his responce.
** Warren **
It was so weird, the power, is surged through the room, like fire, engulfing everyone there. I mean I saw sights that would make babies cry. The old guys going at it, and Willow and Xander, not only seperated, but with their tongues in new persons. Then Johnathan strutted out like he was hot stuff, reminding the kids to play it self, and then he just left. And now Andrew's stalking towards me with those puppy dog eyes of his spitting something off about him loving me.
"Whoa Whoa, Andrew." I said holding my hands out infront of me. "How about we kill the slayer first." I said my eyes moving in Buffy's direction, as she hooked arms with Harmony. "I mean she seems to be a little out of it...like everyone." I furrowed my dark, heavy brows.
"You don't are about my feelings!" Andrew shot back.
"No, no." I said moving within a safe distance of him, placing my arms around his shoulders, in some vain attempt to comfort. "But for some reason, I really want to kill that slayer. I mean we're talking about nothign but all out need. Buffy Summers can't live." I turned to Andrew with a smile. His new found love could actually be pretty helpful.
"Oh." He said meekly, as I patted his shoulders. "So she's just an object of hate and all?" he asked seeming to calm down. "Because I mean I do love you, but I understand your whole personal vendette against Buffy...actually." He said furrowing his brow, and wrinkling his forehead. "I don't understand, but it's ok." He smiled and nodded.
"Good. Good." I said giving him one last pat on the back. "Now what do you say we find us some high power rifles and go Buffy hunting?" My sense of logic was gone, completely, I wasn't thinking straight...a rifle? What on earth was I doing? But I couldn't help it/.Sense didn't matter. She needed to be..had to be dead, and i could do something about it. I would do soemthing about it.
"Oh, wow." Andrew said. "And then can we go back to your place and watch a Tom Cruise movie and cuddle?" He grinned hopefully, and pleaded with his eyes.
"Sure Andrew." I said a little akwardly. "We'll do just that." I nodded, turned around and rolled my eyes as we walked down the stairs. We needed weapons. Big weapons. And I knew just the place.

A slayer. Why didn't I see it before. Ok, so before I didn't know who, or what a slayer was, but still, getting sloppy. And are we tlaking boy sloppy. So after consulting the group. (Andrew, and Jonathan.) Andrew said that his brother, Tucker, a very wide known practicionair in the shiney black, anti-good arts, gets alot of his naughty mojo readings from none other than the Sunnydale High Library. Who would have thought. I mean they say they're not teaching us anything in school these days. I mean we've got the witchy black magic, and the school shootings, I mean America is a great country.
After watching a few debatable episodes of Star Trek, we decided that heading to the library was a good idea. It was fairly early, and we were hyped up on popcorn and diet coke. A little book earching for some anti-slayer spells seemed like a good idea. Evil villians were always with the searching for new way to incorporate kyrptonite into the hero's day.
It was standard comic book style. We research, make our monster, or giant ray gun, attack the hero, nearly accomplish our evil deeds, and then our plans are thwarted, and we barely escape with our lives. Then we're filled with so much anger, we try again, and again. it was truly the work of genius. Of course we didnt' plan on being thwarted, and you never attack the hero first. We'd have to do soemthing, break into the capital, hold the governor hostage, or steal precious jewels.
She had to have a reason to hunt us, then we'd be wall with the attacking of her, and her vampy boyfriend Angel. We did a little research on him as well. Andrew found out his name's not really Angel, it's Angelus. Some uber big bad guy back in the day. Got neutered with a soul, so now he fells bad for everything he's done, and has somehow fallen in love with the slayer. What a comic this would make.
I mean we could market this plot, an dI'm thinkgin t.v show atleast. Mayeb shirts, and such for the kiddies. And mayeb even a lunch box, and action figures. This was just spellign marketing madness.
Library. right.
So together, the three of us, walked down the hallway, we needed a theme song. A theme song would make us much more menicing. But alas, we walked, and burst through the doors of the library. I miieadently took off my cap. I'd have to over come these years of programmed manners if I were goign to be evil.
"Ok you two, head out, look for naythign involving the sla..." I glanced over to the perfectly, painted, Barbie sitting in one of the chairs around the large wooden table. I clasped my hands together. "Can I help you Miss Kendall?" I put on a patient smile.
"Oh great." She said, rolling her eyes, putting down her makeup compact. "What are you freaks doing here?" She released an exagerrated sigh.
I pursed mt lips together, til they formed a thing, white l ine. She'd definetly be one of the hostages anytime we decided to take hostages. "We're looking for books. You read them, they have words. Why are you here? Can you read?"
She looked a little upset, but her look quickly melted into that of hatred. "Yes I can read you sci-fi freak! As a matter of fact, I'm waiting for Cordelia. She was supposed to meet me here this morning, and then I run into you loosers. I already had to get up early, how much more pain can I endure for a day?" She asked placing her makeup back into herpink kitty cat back pack.
"Well then we'll just look for our books, and I hope that pruning like the attractive young girl you are, works out for you." I said walking past her up the stairs to join Jonathan and Andrew on their book search.
"God you're a freak." She muttered as she stared back to the door, and burst into off key song.
"Why si she wailing?" Andrew asked. "It's not very pleasant. And That wasn't even Cher's best song." he placed his hands in his pockets until he recieved an unsavory glance from me.
"Oh yeah books." He said with a smiling nod.
"What exaclty are we looking for?" Jonathan asked pulling out a book with a torn cover, that read. 'Conjuring Spirits of the Beyond to Destroy the Chosen.'
I grinned, "Something like that." I said taking the book from his hands, blowing on the cover, attempting to remove the dust. "Perfect."
We stood atop the stairs pouring through the book of spells. Oh flailing, that could work...beheading..I have to check this one out.

'I'm to sexy for my hat...' The walls of the Bronze vibratze the old Juke Box music, as we walked in. Strobe lights, multicolored lights, they splashed a wide aray of color, and distorted ones vision.I looked over to Jonathan on my right, and Andrew on my left. "This boys, is fun." I made my hands into fists, and walked in side moving them about in an odd attempt at a dance.
"See," Jonathan whispered to Andrew. "White, no rythm." he nodded and took a sip from the silver, tin, diet Coke hand in his hand.
"I think he's go plenty of rythm. Go Warren!" Andrew said giddily from where he still stood.
Jonathan gave him an odd look, and he just smiled. "Gotta suupport my friend. I'm going to dance now Mr. Fuddy Duddy, you stay here and watch, makes sure to get jealous though."
I turned around with a grin, in time to see Andrew attempting to move onto the dance floor. "Move, excuse me, could you two stop making out so I can get over there? Oh, wow, ok Thank you." I rolled my eyes and continued to scout the crowd, they may think this was a social call, but I had bigger, and better plans for the Bronze tonight.
I attempted to mingle, dancing with the abundency of scantly dressed women. I was quickly joined by Andrew however. "Let's get this party started." He said with a smile, "I brought my boogie shoes." He nodded, at his own fact and then began to break dance.
I looked down to him scooting along the floor trying to break dance, and then trying to stand up since he was only getting stepped on. "Ow, could you not step on that? It's my face..." He finaly stood up, and looked over to me. "Break dancing hurts."
I placed a hand on hsi shoulder, and didn't notice the smile on his face, or the blush on his cheeks. "Andrew, look around you buddy, this place is full of babes, most of them are, intoxicated. Go prowl, be a man, and buy them a drink." I patted him on the back as I made my way further into the mass of moving bodies.
"Oh, ok Warren! I'll prowl." He turned around, a large pout on his face, and made his way back to Jonathan. "Warren told em to prowl."
Jonathan took another sip of his coke and offered it to Andrew. "You want some? It's diet."
Andrew took the drink, huffily, and poutedly drained it's contents. "Oops, sorry." He said handing Jonathan bakc an empty coke.
"You owe me a coke." Jonathan said.
Andrew's eyes lit up as Warren's words played through his mind. 'Go prowl, be a man, and buy them a drink' "Oh ok, the bar's this way." Andrew said leading Jonathan towards the bar to buy him another coke.
I watched as the two of them found somethign to interest themselves, and I walked through the back door, looking up and down the alleyway. I picked up a small silver box, with a tiny lens and microphone on it. I had dozens of these boxes all over town, they were my spy cams, and something told me to check the one at the Bronze. I pocketed it, and walked back into the lights, and noise.
I went to the bar, and tapped the chickle heads on the shoulder, "Let's go, I got what we came for." I turned and walked towards the exit.
"Thank You Mr. Bartender. " I could hear Andrew say.
We exited the Bronze. "What are we gonan do now Warren? The night is young, and plus still got the boogie shoes on." Andrew demonstrated this by attempting some out of date disco moves.
"We're gonna go watch a movie." I said with a smile.
"Oh." Andrew replied, "cool."
Jonathan looked up from his new Diet Coke, andraised an eyebrow. "What about the women and the fun?"
"You guys semmed on top of that in there." I said with a smile as we headed to the van to watch the tape from the Bronze.
"Oh we were all over the honeys."Andrew said.
"Good." I replied, for some reason I wanted desperately to watch whatever was on this tape.

"Clark Kent had the ultimate disguise Jonathan, we've been over this a dozen times." I said, swivleing around in the large, black, leather chair that faced my computer. "I mean it's not even a question. He worked as a newsreporter, and he wore glasses, Superman had perfect vision, he didn't need glasses, and when the original wa smade there were no contacts. I mean his disguise was flawless. The perfect Marvel character, mild mannered reporter by day, and super hero. I mean unlike Bruce Wayne, he was no millionare, so he didn't have fancy cars, and he worked during the day, not just at night like batman. He was simply a far more believeabe character."
Jonathan sat upon his bean bag chair, and slurped his diet coke through his bright pink plastic straw. "I'm just saying." He retorted. "I think by him just taking off the glasses and applying spandex isn't to low profile you know?" Slurp. "He had to look the exact same way. And with all his encounters with Louise, and all the pictures getting put in the paper that he worked for, it should hav ebeen fairly obvious." Slurp.
"Alas, Jonathan, you will never understand the sheer genuis that is Stan Lee." I shook my head, and picked up a bright yellow smiley face tension ball, and I began to squeeze. "Jono, how long have we know each other? Wait, that's not important. How long has it been since we've done something none basement related?" I arched one of my dark bushy brows.
He put his coke on the small table beside his chair. "I don't know.." He said with an over elaborate shrug. He leaned over to the straw and took another slurp. "What is there to do?" He mouth quirked to the side as it had a tendeency to do. Moron.
"I'm thinking dancing, beer, and scantly dressed women." I said rubbing my hands together as I put the smiley tension ball back on the computer desk. "How about you buddy?"
"A brothel?" He asked questioningly, takign a final, long, slurp from his drink, clearing it of it's entire contents. He released the starw noticing that I was eyeing his suspiciously. "I'v enever been to one of those, my mom..."
"No, Jono, not a brothel, though it does sound tempting." I replied. "I'm thinking more local, and legal."
"Oh."He said with a nod, either completely lost, or completely undereducated.
"Hello. The Bronze, loud music, hot babes, and beer for those with a fake I.D." I smiled and nodded waiting for his revalation to hit.
"The who?" He asked, squinting his eyes and wrinkling his brow trying to think.
"Geez Jon, you've lived here how long? Wait, that's not important. Just get Andrew, and the trio will mount up and head out, we're going partying tonight. Try to make a scene." I smiled.
Jonoathan took a final slurp on his now completely empty drink. And stood up, a remarkable 5 feet 3 inches, and walked over to the death star phone to call Andrew, we had a party to attend.

In most years gold prices and gold equities have declined during the summer months (summer doldrums). Should we bet against the summer doldrums this year? I don't think so. I see some near-term deterioration in the gold market through the summer due to the absence of a catalyst on the scale of global financial collapse.
Gold presents a strong seasonality. According to seasonality, gold's best buying opportunity is in September while the best selling opportunity occurs in May. Remember the famous "sell in May."
Why does gold exhibit seasonality?
From the supply side, gold should not exhibit seasonality insofar contrary to grown commodities; gold is mined globally at a steady pace. The seasonality of gold results from the demand side, so gold's seasonality is demand-driven. Three reasons may explain gold's bearish summer seasonality:
1) No investment demand. The reason gold prices slump in summer is because global investment demand is weak during the summer.
2) No manufacturing demand. The activity is depressed in the physical market for gold in the summer, as global jewelry manufacturers are not very active during the period.
3) Holidays. Summer season means vacation season so traders flee all the markets (including the gold market).
Nevertheless we should keep in mind that seasonality is merely a secondary driver. Sometimes, seasonality can be temporarily offset by 1) Occasional outliers and 2) Sentiment:
1) Occasional outliers
Sometimes occasional outliers may occur and offset seasonality. The summer 2011 is a good example.
During the summer 2011 gold experienced an amazing rally driven by the fear that the United States would default on its debt on August 2, as no agreement on the debt ceiling was reached.
Specifically, summer 2011 started like most other summers, with gold going sideways to lower. Then gold started to rally after reaching a bottom in early July. The debt-ceiling debate in the US Congress pushed gold higher.
Investors must realize that gold is highly correlated with sovereign debt defaults as I explained in my previous article.
Even though an agreement was reached at the last minute, the stock markets plunged and gold prices continued to increase as gold was perceived as an international flight-to-quality.
The risk of a US default was the catalyst on the scale of global financial collapse that pushed gold extremely higher despite gold's bearish seasonality.
2) Sentiment
Indeed, it is always crucial to look at the sentiment in the gold market. Extremely bullish or bearish sentiment can lead to strong price reaction despite seasonality. As a result, even though gold's seasonality looks very bullish, overbought gold is still likely to correct and even though gold's seasonality looks very bearish, oversold gold is still likely to surge.
A good example just occurred in autumn 2011. Even though gold's seasonality was bullish then, gold was so overbought that a correction was likely.
It was surprising to see gold overbought in autumn as this period of the year usually presents the best buying opportunity. Even though it was strange to observe that from a technical point of view the evolution of gold suggested a correction, it is important to understand that seasonality can be offset by sentiment.
Will seasonality be offset by occasional outliers and/or sentiment this summer 2013?
Is there a presence of occasional outliers this summer?
United States:
The debt limit in the United States will come back into force on May 19. Does it sound like 2011 when the US stood ready to default? In this context, Fitch Ratings published a note in January 2013 warning that another so-called debt ceiling crisis would probably lead to a reduction in the US credit rating. Failure to increase the limit "in a timely manner would prompt a review and likely downgrade of the U.S. sovereign rating."
Nevertheless, the risk of a US credit downgrade is minor. First, Fitch Ratings' expectation is that Congress will raise the debt ceiling and that the risk of a US sovereign default remains extremely low.
Second, according to experts at the Bipartisan Policy Center, the debt limit deadline could come anytime between mid-August 2013 and mid-October 2013.
According to their study, the new debt limit will be on May 19 between $16.6 and $16.7 trillion, roughly $250 billion higher than the previous debt limit ($16.394 trillion). Once that time arrives, the US government will implement extraordinary measures which will allow it to continue to honor its obligations for an additional period of time. As a result, BPC estimates that "the X Date will occur between mid-August and mid-October of 2013, with the most likely points in that range being early September or early October."
In short, it is reasonable to expect that the debt ceiling will not cause a storm in the financial markets and not push gold prices higher through the summer contrary to what happened in 2011.
Here is a table of the different countries in the Eurozone with S&P rating and S&P outlook so we can easily monitor the countries that could be potentially downgraded through the summer.
The S&P outlook is crucial because if the S&P attaches a "negative outlook" to a country rating, it is a warning of another possible downgrade in the medium term (3 months in average). Consequently, if a country's credit rating is downgraded, it could destabilize it and raise its probability of default that could lead to the aggravation of the sovereign debt crisis.
Source: The Guardian
The economic conditions of "periphery" countries such as Greece, Portugal and Cyprus have improved. So in the medium term they are not at risk as they have stable outlook.
Standard & Poor's stated in a note published in April 2013 that Cyprus' credit-rating outlook was raised to stable from negative because it expects the troubled government to agree on the terms of a bailout.
Standard & Poor's announced in a note published in March 2013 that Portugal's credit rating outlook was raised to stable from negative as European lenders will probably extend support to the government and make the nation's fiscal tightening "more sustainable."
Standard & Poor's stated in a note published in December 2012 Greece's credit rating outlook was raised to stable from negative as countries using the euro are determined to keep Greece inside the currency union.
The big risk in Europe this summer: Spain
Among the countries in the Eurozone, the biggest risk is Spain because it is the only country with a credit rating one notch above "junk" status and a negative outlook.
According to an article published in the Telegraph Journal in October 2012, the S&P declared it would downgrade the country's debt status further if political support for Spain's structural reforms weakens, if the Eurozone support fails to prevent Spain's borrowing costs hit unsustainable levels or if debt tops 100% of economic output or debt payments go above 10% of general government revenues.
However, it is unlikely that Spain will be downgraded in the medium term. Debt has not topped 100% of economic output yet. Last data published in April showed that government debt reached 84.2% of output in 2012. Second, Spain's 10-year government rate fell below 4%, the lowest since November 2010. Eurozone "periphery" government bond markets have rallied strongly since Mario Draghi said last year to do "whatever it takes" to preserve the Eurozone. As a result, it is reasonable to think that Eurozone countries will not have their credit rating downgraded through the summer.
To conclude, the presence of occasional outliers this summer is quite unlikely. The next big outlier to watch that can push gold prices extremely higher is German elections in September. Recent polls suggest that neither CDU/CSU and FDP (black-yellow coalition) nor SPD and Greens (red-green coalition), partners in the 1998-2005 Schröder government, would have the possibility of gaining a majority of seats together in parliament. The possibility of a messy result in September with no clear winner could aggravate the sovereign debt crisis and could be the catalyst that gold needs to begin a strong rally.
Can seasonality be offset by sentiment in the gold market?
Gold took a serious hit in late April with prices falling well below the strong $1500 support to bottom at $1326 on April 15.
The plunge resulted in an extremely oversold condition. The Hulbert Gold Sentiment Index shows that the majority has turned bearish on gold and sentiment dropped to a level even more depressed than at gold's 2008 low.
Source: sentimenTrader
As sentiment towards gold could not get any worse, it could only get better. That is why gold started a rally.
Should we deduce that gold is now ready to start a new rally because the sentiment towards gold reached an extreme low?
In my opinion, as the sentiment in the gold market was extremely negative, recent gains in gold are not surprising. The rise in gold prices has allowed to alleviate the short-term extremely oversold condition. In the short term, we could expect an improvement in the gold sentiment.
Nevertheless, gold is not ready to start a new rally and is likely to head lower in the short to medium term because first the plunge on massive volume late April is normally a very bearish development that suggests a longer-term decline. The graph below shows that volume traded was twice as high during the plunge in mid-April compared to the average. Second, the past shows that oversold condition can last for a long period such as in 2012 so it is likely that gold will remain in oversold territory. Lastly, the summer months are near and summer seasonality is also bearish for the precious metals.
Source: Stockcharts
To sum up, in the short to medium term, gold prices could continue to increase a little bit longer before falling down sharply again to reach new lows if the price of gold does not break above the former $1500 strong support that is now a strong resistance. In order to see gold start a new rally, we need to wait for an event that will aggravate the sovereign debt crisis. It could be in Europe with German elections on September 22. If Merkel has difficulties to remain in power, the Eurozone could be in danger and gold could start a rally after the summer.

Give me my MTV—online! The next generation of MTV watchers are demanding that their favorite channel be made available wherever they want it. On their smartphones, iPads, on a train, on a plane etc etc. While MTV may have moved away from actual music television, it's remained successful with both reality TV shows as well as scripted, teen-focused dramas such as Teen Wolf, The Shannara Chronicles and Scream adaptation.
MTV has made it somewhat easy to get their content online. There are several MTV streaming options available for your viewing pleasure. Here are just a few:
Is there an Official MTV Live Stream?
There are no legitimate MTV live streams other than Sling TV and Xfinity's official app that allows you to watch live TV. You won't find an MTV live stream on their official site and it's not available through the apps. You can get a free trial of Sling TV here without having a cable subscription. But it's more than MTV, you'll get all the channels you'd expect in a slim cable package for $20 including VH1, CMT (Country Music Television) and staples like CNN and ESPN all for that price. Try it, it works.
Watch MTV Without Cable using DIRECTV NOW
MTV is also part of the standard DIRECTV NOW package that starts at $35 but includes tons of channels to stream online. You'll get about the same lineup as Sling and you also get a 7 day free trial here as well so give it a try as well if your Sling trial has expired and you have to have your MTV.
Try DIRECTV NOW Free for 7 Days
Are MTV Programs on Netflix, Hulu or Amazon?
The infighting between the "big three" streaming services has been heating up as of late. Deals are being struck and many streamers are being left confused as to where to watch their favorite programs (MTV included!) online.
Netflix does not have access to many MTV shows. There are a handful available for DVD rental but they are extremely old. None of the newer MTV programs you're probably looking for are available on Netflix.
Hulu has a great deal with MTV where most of their new shows are available to Hulu subscribers shortly after they air on MTV proper.
Amazon does have a few series available for free to Prime subscribers with others available for purchase at three bucks. But they are always changing their MTV series availability so you should check out their selection regularly if Amazon is your go-to streaming source.
Watch MTV Series Online with the Official MTV App
MTV has created a lovely streaming app for subscribers that will take care of most everyone's OTA demands. You can download it on almost any device be it your iOS iPhone/Pad, an Andoid, an Xbox and even your Windows phone. The app does require that you already subscribe to MTV via a traditional cable package, so this option may not work for those who call themselves "cord-cutters".
There are some negative reviews to be had on the MTV app. Most people are upset that they still had to view commercials even though they were watching MTV through the app as opposed to their television. This argument will probably fall on deaf ears at the offices of MTV. Why should the commercial structure change just because you're watching MTV on a different screen size?
Folks may be confusing MTV and other cable network apps with the likes of Netflix or HBO Now who control most of their own original content and are not supported by ads.
Download or Stream Full Episodes of MTV Programs
The official MTV website allows for full streaming access to recent episodes of your favorite MTV shows. There are a ton of commercials but you don' even have to log in as far as we can tell. If you want to watch older episodes then you're completely out of luck on the official site.
You can always download and stream full episodes of MTV on Amazo, iTunes and Google Play for about 3 dollars apiece.

Past Student Reviews:
"Natalie was very responsive to our needs and I got many useful tips on how to put a book together using a stab-binding. It wasn't a form that would have been one of my go-to forms before, but with Natalie's app and instruction, it now will be!"
