Daily Market Reports | Sep 08 2017
By Greg Peel
The Dow closed down -22 points or -0/1% while the S&P was flat at 2465 and the Nasdaq rose 0.1%.
Data Drop
On Tuesday and Wednesday, we saw the ASX200 plunge on the open before grafting its way back throughout the session. Yesterday the index shot up almost 30 points on the open and ultimately closed flat.
As to why sentiment swung is unclear, although the afternoon saw most of the selling following two important data releases.
Retail sales were flat in July when 0.2% growth was expected. This follows on from 1.4% growth in the June quarter. Economists point to a falling savings rate, suggesting Australians have lately been dipping into savings to fund consumption while wage growth remains absent. That can only last so long.
The trade surplus shrank to $460m in July from $888m in June as exports fell -2.2% and imports fell -0.9%. Falls in iron ore and coal volumes impacted on exports, as did a fall in gold exports. Volumes notwithstanding, exports should improve in August on higher iron ore prices.
Consumer staples was the worst performer on the day with a -0.8% fall, for which we can point to the weak retail sales number, but Woolworths ((WOW)) went ex yesterday and consumer discretionary closed flat.
Materials only fell -0.1% despite BHP ((BHP)) going ex and despite the weaker than expected trade numbers.
The Aussie hitting US80c is always a trigger to sell the large, offshore-exposed healthcare names, and yesterday saw that sector fall -0.7%. Having been sold down on Wednesday, Telstra ((TLS)) suddenly bounced hard on an upgrade from Credit Suisse and took telcos up 2.5%. Indecisive utilities rose 1.2%.
Everything else was relatively flat.
Earlier in the week the index kept wanting to return to 5700, but yesterday, having broken away from 5700, the index ran scared back down to 5690. The futures are up 16 points this morning for no particular reason. This market is a hard one to pick at present.
Bear in mind earnings season is now over and major economic data releases are behind us. The index is being handicapped by ex-dividends, and there's plenty more of those to come. By next month we'll be into AGM season, which may provide the next catalyst, notwithstanding what happens elsewhere in the world.
Happy to sit tight
You can't get a flight out of Florida now. You can't hire a car and even if you could, many gas stations are empty thanks to strong demand meeting constrained supply due to Harvey, and traffic is at a standstill. Irma is thundering towards the Bahamas, en route to Florida.
Hot on Irma's heels is Jose, which is set to demolish the Leeward Islands that have just been demolished by Irma, before heading towards Bermuda. Over in the Gulf, Katia is brewing. September is the peak of hurricane season, in case you didn't know.
Wall Street is still contemplating the record cost of Harvey, and now this.
News has emerged that in negotiating the deal with the Democrats to extend the debt ceiling deadline, Donald Trump proposed the scrapping of the debt ceiling altogether. He is not without supporters on that front, given the problems the ceiling constantly causes, the inability to break Congressional gridlock, the threat of government shutdown and the fact that invariably, the ceiling is raised. What's the point?
The Fed vice chair Stanley Fischer has announced his retirement, meaning both chair and vice chair positions are now open for new Trump appointees to be put in place for next year. No one has much of a clue who will fill these positions given a number of names being suggested. Former Goldman Sachs executive and Wall Street favourite Gary Cohn is seen fading in the odds. Yellen is yet a chance of reappointment.
Each month there's much anticipation that given the revival of the EU economy, ECB president Mario Draghi will announce the beginning of QE tapering. Last night prove yet another disappointment. The (negative) cash rate remains unchanged and E60bn a month of QE will continue to be pumped into the market until it is decided otherwise.
That decision, said Draghi, will come in October.
Gold thus found another reason to pop last night, rising US$15.10 to US$1348.60/oz as the US dollar index crashed -0.8% to 91.52, as the euro surged. European bond rates fell and the US ten-year yield was dragged down -5 basis points to 2.06% to mark another new low for the year.
The Bank of Japan meets next week. The Fed meets later this month.
North Korea has gone eerily quiet.
And it's September – historically the worst month of the year. Taking into consideration all of the above, there's little incentive to do anything on the US stock market other than hunker down.
Base metals all went to sleep in London last night except for zinc, which rose 1%.
Iron ore fell -US$1.30 to US$75.90/t.
West Texas crude is steady at US$49.12/bbl.
The big fall in the greenback has the Aussie up 0.6% at US$0.8046.
Yet the SPI Overnight closed up 16 points or 0.3%. As to why is unclear. Goldminers can't carry the market and US banks were trashed again last night.
Locally we'll see housing finance data today ahead of Beijing releasing August trade numbers.
Qantas ((QAN)) is on today's list of stocks going ex.

The answer to that is . . .a lot!
I know I am not alone in this as most knitters have multiple projects on needles at one time. However, I was looking at my Ravelry project board and realizing that I have a lot of projects that have been languishing for many years. I finally put some into official hibernation on the site. I do have every intention of finishing them . . . just not right now.
That being said, I started yet another project. This one uses a yarn dyed exclusively for my friend's business, Yarnover Truck. It is Anzula Haiku in Minty Unicorn. So far I love this yarn. It's so soft and slides easily through my fingers. It also highlights the stitch pattern well.
I know, I just recently started the Seascape Stole, but I have come to find that project takes a lot of concentration and I needed one that didn't. I needed some easy TV knitting.
Enter the Vicissitude Tank and Cowl by The Sexy Knitter.
My husband was fascinated watching me knit in the round. I realized I haven't knit many projects in the round, and never anything this large. All the sock knitting I have done is either on double pointed or two circular . . . it just doesn't look the same to a non-knitter as knitting rounds on circular needles.
I've made a promise to myself that I will finish at least one of these recently started projects before starting any other knitting project. Of course, that doesn't stop me from starting a sewing project.

Recently, I can't sleep;
My life's too vibrant for dreams.
A few drops of LSD
Ought to perk me up like high-strength coffee.
I've been witnessing ill-effects.
The crystals and bubbles roll off my breath.
The devil came and fiddled a tune.
God shook his fist from his air balloon.
And all the grass was motioning
Like the blades were one without the wind.
Recently, I can't sleep.
The light just won't let the dark in.
I see the clouds-a-roll
Like they're bantering with such cajole.
I can't help but laugh.
I'm such a sorry waste of mass.
LSD fried my brain.
If I weren't so wired I'd prob'ly feel insane.
I conversed with my animal friends
And the DDT-dead ones rose again.
I had to check my feet were treading earth;
I thought I was in the stirrups about to give birth.
LSD, pass it around.
I'm waiting for Lucy to come down.
I had a vision of Gabriel.
He said Mohammed had been popping pills.
There's no better opprobrium
Than a trip to cloud-cuckooland on opium.
I saw a wicker cow.
Her wicker teats bloodied my mouth.

Today in Sabbath School the teacher was talking about something when Collin quietly raised his hand.
The teacher called on him, but was confused because she hadn't asked any questions and was just going over part of the lessons.
He then proceeded to say, "we are getting another baby"
To which she responded, "oh, are you going to the store to buy a baby?"
"No, it's in my mommy's tummy, we already saw a picture and she is this (fingers together) little"
He went on to tell everyone that this baby will be here around Christmas and that he is so excited!
So, a secret we have been keeping is now out of the bag so I figured I'd share it here as well.
Yes, baby Tarzan is indeed in Collin's mommy's tummy and will be here around Christmas.

|Refugee stories
S Eritrea (Gateshead)
Skills: Economics and Management - Current Employment: Unemployed .
Arrived 2008 I got my status after 3 months in UK. So for almost 1 year and 3 months I have been looking for a job. I graduated in India with BA in Economics and masters degrees in Management. I intended to go back to my homeland to help Africans as well as my own people. Even though I have these qualifications I can't get any job. I have studied the A4E internet and use the computer at the job centre, been to work agencies, and applied to many companies. They call me for interview and their main question is always "Do you have any work experience in the UK?". I don't have work experience here, but I do have work experience in my homeland. I am totally frustrated by this. One day I requested a job for cleaning and they requested do you have work experience for cleaning?. How do you develop your work experience? This problem is affecting a lot of people. I know I'm going to deteriorate instead of develop.
I hate to sign at Job Centre Plus every two weeks, because I have the ability to work but life is pressurising me to go there. I don't feel comfortable to speak with them, they don't have any good reaction with me also. There is a lot of very educated and talented people here and they may contribute something to this country. But they can't get a good opportunity. People in human resources development should understand this complicated problem with refugees. I would organise work placements or shadow working in specific areas.
Then one can get a reference, and create new channels. This is a good opportunity.
F Iran (Sunderland)
Skills: Accountant - Current Employment: Unemployed. Arrived in UK 2003
I used to work in Iran as an accountant for 7 years. I've been in the UK for nearly 6 years, and I'm allowed to work here. But I haven't been able to work as an accountant in the UK as they require UK work experience. I tried to find any voluntary opportunity because I need work experience here, tho I have 7 years experience in my country. But I couldn't find any. Nobody accepted me here as an accountant with my experience and all the certificates I have brought from my country. Nobody gave me any advice on how can I find an accounting job. It would be good if I could have the good advice from the beginning to know which direction I have to take in my life
M Georgia (Newcastle)
Skills: Doctor (GP) - Current Employment: Not working as a GP.Arrived in UK 2003
I used to be a GP for 17 years. I have been living here about 6 years now and because my English is not very good I am not able to work as a doctor. So I try to improve my language skills by attending English classes. However my comment on my English language skills is not satisfactory. I think that the most obvious reason for this problem is not having the opportunity to be focused on studying. There are many things to think about, such as relationship with job centre, housing, difficulty in paying bills, but the worst thing is that you can't get the right direction in the first place, so we are wondering in a confusing and sophisticated system for a long period of time. You can say that the native people also have the same problems but believe me it is much harder for refugee professionals to establish themselves here and use their skills, which I am sure could be beneficial for the country
P Democratic Republic Congo (Newcastle upon Tyne)
Skills: Professional Musician with international artists - Current Employment: Studying for degree in Music Technology.Arrived in UK 2003
I got involved in music 25 years ago and have played with big artists such as Papa Wemba, Koffi Olomide, and Kanda Bongo Man. I have degrees in Jazz, Classical and Vocal Harmony and Music Arrangement. When I had to come to the UK, I wanted to try to teach music, but language was a barrier, I couldn't produce my diplomas, I didn't bring them with me when I fled, and I wasn't allowed to work. When I go my status, I decided to try again but they asked me again for proof of my diplomas. So now I am studying Music Technology and will graduate in 2011. I may be able to teach this way.
Music can take away the depression and all the stress people are going through and it brings people together, in harmony. It can to keep young people off the streets and give them skills and self esteem. I think we need to give the musicians and artists a chance to develop and use their skills. Art is the most effective way of putting people together, in harmony. Professional artists should be able to make a living from it, but we have less chance to perform as we can't afford the venues and equipment. I find it strange that the big arts organisations are not really helping in terms of publicity and getting the refugee community involved. We need the help of proper people and the guidance from them. In the job centre they don't consider the skills you bring to them. They are prepared to give you what they have in the schedule. I'm a musician. The only thing I can do is music. Its what I love.
N Iran (Newcastle upon Tyne)
Skills: Pharmacist - Current Employment: Refugee Community Development Worker
"When I arrived in the UK, my first responsibility was to find a way to support myself and my son. And I had to learn English. I asked some pharmacies if I could work for them voluntarily, just to keep in touch and get some experience and references in the UK, but no one accepted me. I couldn't afford the University. Then I realized I would have to wait for my status, before I could qualify for a student loan. I realized it would take too long (6 years) and cost too much to pursue a career in pharmacy, so I had to start again in another direction."
IB Iraq (Middlesbrough)
Skills: University Lecturer and engineering -Current Employment: Unemployed .
Arrived 2006 I was a lecturer at University in Baghdad. I have an MA in methods of teaching English as a foreign language, and I have a BA in English and Literature, and a diploma in engineering. I had a private institute in Baghdad to teach women sewing and arranging flowers. I have these skills yet here I still can't find a job. I worked for 30 years in Iraq. I am used to working. I am not used to being without a job. Because without a job and without education, people aren't in life. That's my belief. If you work you feel you are in life. If you don't work its like being a dead person, without hope, without aims, without anything. I try to restart my life but the problem of work it makes me depressed. I am upset. Like I live endlessly without hope.
B B Eritrea (Middlesbrough)
Skills: Geologist - Current Employment: Unemployed.
Arrived in the UK in 2001 I have studied mining geology in my home country and soon after graduation I was offered a position to work in the chemistry lab of the university, to help fresh students, for six month. I then secured a job with the ministry of mines and energy for a year and half. Since my arrival in the UK, I have made several attempts to continue studying geology at a higher level, with no success.
The length of time (over 9 years), without practicing as a geologist, means it would make it very difficult for me to restart considering my career, in the field I loved.
I have studied computing (software development) at Teesside University, as this was the only course available to me to take up on part time basis, because of my immigration status.
N DR Congo (Stockton)
Skills: Business and Cisco network engineer - Current Employment: Completing studies. Arrived in UK 2004
"Being a scientist was something I set myself from 12 years old. I was asking questions about life. So I studied chemistry and biology to understand the phenomenon of life. I got my degree and my idea was to become a doctor of research in science, but I couldn't because in 2004 I had to flee from my country.
My degree isn't accepted here. I would have to start undergraduate chemistry all over again. So I started a degree in CISCO networking, but then my support stopped and I couldn't continue. I just got my status last month, and can now finish my studies. Some people have already finished the course, but they haven't been able to find a job in networking. Its not easy for black people. People in the north don't seem to be used to having black people in higher positions. After 3 months the job centre forced them to take any jobs, and are now in factories or cleaning. So I am a bit discouraged about gaining high level qualifications. Personally I won't be able to work on the factory line. I like living in the north east, but I have given myself one year to try to find a job as qualified Cisco engineer, otherwise i will have to leave and go to a bigger more cosmopolitan city. From my own community, for every 200 people getting the right to remain, 150 will move from the North East to London or Manchester because they can't find the kind of job they are looking for, to match their qualifications. I don't know how we can make people aware of what is going on. But at the end of the day there won't be many black people left in the North East. They will just go to cities that are already overpopulated".
J Democratic Republic of Congo (Newcastle upon Tyne)
Skills: Graduate in Industrial Chemistry Current Employment: ICT Project Officer.
"I am from a huge mining area of Congo. I expected to have a long career in mining after gaining my degree in Industrial Chemistry. But I had to leave my country and come to the UK. Whilst I was waiting for a decision on my asylum claim, I was not allowed to work. I could not keep up my work in industrial chemistry, and lost contact with the field. Then I lost confidence that I could continue a career in it. So, as I had some chance to study whilst waiting for my decision, I decided I must start all over again, and train for a career in the growing field of IT."
H Zimbabwe (Stockton on Tees)
Skills: Teacher, secondary school Current Employment: Manager, Refugee Community Development Work.Arrived UK 2001
"I qualified in teaching and taught History for 8 years in a major secondary school before having to come to the UK. I taught European history, including Britain from 1750 to the present. When I arrived here I realised that I would have to re-train again for another year or so. This after spending 6 years studying, 4 years of a first degree and a 2 years post graduate teaching qualification. All my studies where done in English. Our system followed the British one. However, the NARIC comparability scheme reduced my qualifications to NVQ 3, which is equivalent to A – levels, besides the fact that I already had done A- levels with Cambridge University External Board before going into tertiary Education. This actually forced me to switch from teaching, an area that I know I was very good at. Seeing the teaching situation here I realised the classroom wasn't quite welcoming for people who are different."
M Zimbabwe (Newcastle-upon-Tyne)
Skills: IT Current Employment: Trainee Chef
"My qualifications gained in Zimbabwe where not recognised at all here and I was fed-up. I then decided to retrain in something completely different and I hope I am not wasting more time. It's tough here."
A Darfur, Sudan (Stockton on Tees)
Skills: Business and Teaching - Current Employment: Not allowed to work.
Arrived 2006 "I was a businessman for 5 years, and then went back to my village in Darfur and worked as a teacher in my local school for 3 years until I was forced to leave the country. Teaching is lovely, I enjoyed it. I love working with children, they have creative minds. Every day you feel your mind has beautiful things.
When I registered in college here the first thing they asked me what I want to be. I said I want to be a teacher. But still I am struggling to find my way here.
First I need to learn English very well and when I am good in English then I can chose what is possible for me. To be able to communicate with other people you need to learn their language. But as asylum seeker its difficult to study continuously, you don't have peace of mind to concentrate. There is a lot of pressure. I stopped studying for a while".
S West Africa (Teesside)
Skills: Industrial relations and Personnel Management - Current employment: not allowed to work.
Arrived 2007 "I have degree in Industrial Relations and Personnel Management. I worked as a Customer Relations Officer and did courses in marketing and entrepreneurship. Then I was employed as General Manager of a retail outlet, managing various departments. If I'd been able to stay in my country I would maybe I would be a director of my own company now. I would like to continue my career in management. But while I've been here I have not been able to use these skills and experience, as I am not allowed to work.
When I got to the UK I didn't know a lot of things. I went to the college to see what I could do. I enrolled for ECDL level 1 or 2. I wanted to do levels 4 or 5 but they didn't recognise my certificate so I had to start from scratch. It feels like when they see a black person they think you can't measure up. You have to prove yourself again and again. They see asylum seekers as second class citizens. Then luckily I met someone who advised me my country's degree certificates would be recognised here, and that I could apply to Teesside University. I think they contacted my country to check up on my qualifications. So now I have just been admitted to do a Masters in Management, starting next week.
I pray I can apply my skills here, but from the testimony I've heard from others I am nervous. They have found it difficult to settle down and find jobs that match their skills. They have all been offered cleaning jobs and warehouse jobs, which is lower than their skills and what they can give to the community. I'm hoping and praying when it gets to my time things will have changed".
C Southern Africa (Newcastle)
Skills: Telecommunications Engineer - Current Employment: Not allowed to work.
Arrived in UK 2007 "I graduated in Engineering and was a telecommunications engineer for the 17 years, rising to become Chief Engineer of X Post and Communication. I then entered politics and served as an MP for 5 years, during which time I gained a Diploma in Political Science. I served as Deputy Minister of Transport & Communications and Chairman of the Public Appointments Committee of the X Institute of Education
In 2007 I had to leave X suddenly and there was no time to even think about collecting my Degree certificates or other proof of my profession. I cannot prove my qualifications. I can't access University to gain a new one. I want to say "test me out, give me a go, let me show what I can do" then you will know if I am really an engineer or not.
So I have tried to build a portfolio of British qualifications through accessing several further education courses. On the suggestion of the college, I worked for a Certificate in Adult Numeracy Level 1. It can be humiliating
I don't know how many qualifications in how many subjects I will have by the time I get a decision, but I doubt whether any of them will enable me to be a telecommunications engineer again".
S Liberia (Sunderland)
Skills: Business Management - Current Employment: Not allowed to work.
Arrived 2003 "I didn't manage to finish my university course in Liberia, as war started and I had to flee to the Ivory Coast. I set up business there, and then had to flee again when the war started there. I have been in the UK for 6 years. Quite simply, I am not allowed to work and not allowed to set up a business. I am not a young man anymore. I have lost the years in my life when I could be building a career or business."
F Ethiopia (Newcastle)
Skills: Professional Artist - Current Employment: Not allowed to work.
Arrived in UK 2006 "I am an artist. I have a diploma in sculpture and two certificates in ceramics, one is from Japan. The reason I can't work as an artist here is that I am an asylum seeker and not allowed to work, I can't make plans for my life. Please give me permission to work so that I can plan my life"
MB Guinea (Middlesbrough)
Skills: Post graduate Maths & Physics. Cisco Networking Engineer - Current Employment: Refugee Advice worker.
Arrived 2005 "Before I was an Asylum Seeker, but now I am a Refugee everything has changed. Since I started working I say to myself its a big change. When you are on benefits your life is really limited. Now I am on a salary and its a big relief. Its really helped me physically and mentally to think about the future, because without a job you can't think about that. I feel like I'm part of Middlesbrough now. I'm thinking about settling down and having a family. Before I was thinking about having to move down south. But now I am a Middlesbrough man! I like what I'm doing. Now I give advice to new status refugees. Its hard for someone who hasn't been through this process to understand what we need to know, and how to get into the system. I like giving back something and helping those coming after us, so that they don't have to go through what we went through. I feel lucky because I see others here who have been waiting 5 or 10 years, and they have kids to raise too. I think about them and thank God for what I have"

Big Box Birds
In North America, the convergence of bad planning, "ME first" self-interest and the culture of the automobile gave rise to urban sprawl, which is now the hallmark of our urban areas. Adding insult to injury, those factors are also antithetical to creativity and sustainability. One result of the sprawl syndrome is the cookie-cutter "Big Box" mall where sameness, asphalt and cheap stucco are de rigueur. They are everywhere. These scenes could literally be from a suburb in Los Angeles, Calgary, Dallas, Atlanta or Toronto. If you are curious, they were shot in Mississauga, an unimaginative suburb of Toronto where real estate developers effectively had a free hand for 30 years. This image is part of My World Tuesday.

Kingston SSDNow UV400 480GB SATA III SSD Review
The fastest growing segment in solid state storage is the value segment. Kingston already has a significant presence in the value segment of the SSD market and are looking to expand their reach further with their new Ultra-Value SATA III SSD; the UV400. The value segment of the SSD market, like the name suggests, is focused on delivering cost-effective solid state storage to the masses. This segment of the market is much more focused on price than performance, while at the same time reaping the benefits that are inherent to solid state storage.
Kingston has tapped cost effective well-performing components for the UV400. At the heart of it all is Marvell's 88SS1074 4-channel flash controller. We've seen this versatile controller at the heart of several recently released SSDs. Marvel's 88SS1074 controller is essentially a blank slate. Marvell sells the controller and buyers provide their own custom firmware. Marvell's controller-only sales model means we don't see 88SS1074 controlled SSDs coming from small companies, but rather large companies that have firmware engineering teams, such as Crucial, Western Digital, and Kingston.
The UV400 pairs the Marvell 88SS1074 controller with super-low-cost Toshiba 15nm 3-bit planar flash in TSOP packages and an LPDDR3 cache package. By going with super-low-cost TSOP packaged flash, Kingston sacrifices performance for cost. The UV400 is not as fast as similarly configured SSDs that employ higher bus speed BGA packaged flash, but it is cheaper, and that's exactly what Kingston is aiming for. The UV400 is up to 10X faster than mechanical hard drives, it is silent, and uses far less power than a conventional HDD.
Kingston has grown into the world's largest independent manufacturer of memory products, and the UV400 is selling like hotcakes, now let's see how it performs.
Kingston UV400 480GB SATA III SSD:

Cherry Blossoms in South Australia
When I was on a road trip in South Australia, I came across some absolutely beautiful cherry blossoms, or in Japanese: Sakura, and couldn't resist taking some photos.
These are the products of my trusty Canon Ixus 860 (I have too many people asking me this so I decide to post it here, is it not an ad, but if someone wants to sponsor me a free DSLR I would be greatly gratified. :p :D)
These were taken in August, if you're wondering and have no knowledge of the Australian seasons and weather, during the midst of the beautiful winter turn spring moment.
Awe... I love Sakura. They are so pretty. I love love love them.

Total Diet Studies in Japan
The Japanese Government has conducted total diet studies (TDSs) annually since 1977, based on GEMS/Food Programme recommendations, to estimate average Japanese dietary exposure to various pesticides, heavy metals, dioxins, food additives, and other potentially hazardous chemicals. The concentrations of the chemicals in food composite samples comprised of 14 food categories and food frequency consumption data of the National Nutrition Survey (NNS) were used for exposure assessments. In addition, exposure assessment of cadmium was specially fulfilled for risk management purposes in 2006. Approximately 3,600 surveillance data of cadmium concentrations in food items and NNS were applied for probabilistic intake assessment by Monte Carlo simulation.

It is time for a new vanguard of socially conscious Nigerians to create a new narrative that both connects with the aspirations of Nigerians and addresses their most pressing needs. In order to do this there needs to be a profile created for public service. Capability and integrity have to take precedence over wealth and patronage. Public can no longer be seen as a passport to personal wealth.
Successive governments have failed to address security issues with regards extremists and crime and disorder. Public services only serve to entrench deprivation and inequality. Economic policy has been regressive. There is little appetite for investment in sustainable development. Economic regulation is inadequate and poorly enforced. The north east remains isolated, unsafe and underdeveloped. The south remains an environmental disaster zone exploited by oil companies and local militias.
An association of young people supported but not led by some like minded older and wiser hands need to come together to form a viable political party. Nobody with present or past affiliations with political parties or groups in the country should be eligible to take up membership. This new party would campaign on a platform of good governance, transparency, financial accountability, economic development, youth empowerment and open society. This new political movement will start small and look to grow its membership and relevance on a local and national basis. It will seek to develop a solid support base and promote its political values across all states. It would hopefully be able to build this up into a credible national presence.

I hurt, oh my goodness, oh my goodness, the guy said it would hurt but man this hurts. I will give another update tomorrow but wow, I think I will need physical therapy.
Reagan and Lincoln had a dentist appointment a couple of weeks ago and I'm proud to say that both kids are cavity free. Both kids got there picture taken and it is put up on the wall, they get a special coin to get a toy out of a machine....they love their dentist.
Oh, and last year we had 4 trees planted in our back yard 2 jacquemontii birch, 1 red leaf maple and 1 flowering pear. Well, the 2 jacquemontii birch trees are actually paper birch, so sometime this next month the landscaper is coming back to plant the correct trees. We actually didn't know they were different except they started to droop and they had these seed pods on them, so me being the investigator I am, I went to the Internet and solved the mystery. We already have 3 jacquemontii birch trees that Tim and I planted when we first moved in so we did have something to compare them to.
This what the jacquemontii birch tree's looked like when we planted them 2 1/2 years ago.
This is what they look like today, plus another house has been built.
This is what the paper birch tree's look like today, they have been in the ground for about a year. They are the tree's on both sides of the flowering pear in the middle. Very droopy, they do have white bark like the jacquemontii's but it doesn't peal off like the jacquemontii's. Oh, and you can see hopefully the last house that will be built behind our home. If you look at this home do you notice something odd???.....there is a roof on top of the fake chimney.

Hanging wire on back and drilled holes on bottom for optional attachment to a sculpture base.
Robert Kipniss, the extraordinary American landscape painter and master printmaker, experimented with bas relief in bronze early in his career, as both a technical challenge and an opportunity to create true sculptural forms in bronze. Bas relief (A French term from the Italian basso-relievo or low-relief) is a technique in which design elements are more prominent than the overall flat background. Here Kipniss takes this to the extreme reaching depths of almost two inches in some areas.
He is best known for his imaginary and dreamlike landscapes offering recollections of a moment of transient beauty. Upon first seeing a Kipniss work, often the viewer has the distinct feeling of seeing this landscape or interior before, a déjà vu second that seems impossible to forget. As Kipniss describes, "I may be painting trees and houses, but when I look at them, that's not what I see. I see an atmosphere, a moment, a quickly passing experience that I'm trying to capture. My art is an art of intensity, of delving, of exploring the soul." This is a rare and rich work, one of only a very few in this medium, acquired directly from this great American artist.
Kipniss' work is represented in the permanent collections of hundreds of museums including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Whitney Museum of American Art, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the British Museum in London and the Bibliothèque National in Paris.

Sources close to the team reveal hoodoo-voodoo behind Flyer bench. The team doing the revealing was, of course, Your Montreal Canadiens.
The NHL board of directors are seriously considering thinking of the possibilty of maybe appealing towards Gary Bettman to instill "The Flyer Rule", perhaps.
"The Flyer Rule" would be to award victory, no matter the score, to the team that so pummeled its opposition and so demolished any conceivable sense of adversity between them that they should not have to suffer the ignominity of defeat by vengeful Gods.
The puck went this way, that way, the other way around and back again. It went left; it went right, through that guy's legs and between those guys' coverage. It went aside the goalie, over and under him, across him and towards him, side to side and up and down. It chipped off every speck of paint and either net while it explored the bending properties of iron. It sailed; it sallied; it parted the orange seas like a Kovalev through a kindergarten class.
The only place the puck didn't go, was where it was supposed to go.
Some say the talismanic-Tie has aggravated the hockey-gods by its overuse. We accept the remonstrance. however,
Timonen: "Na-na! Boo-boo!"
You unbelievable bastich...
Be prepared.

A blistering run in the fourth period saw Levett Essex Leopards open their NBL Division Two season with an 83-77 victory at Westminster Warriors, on Saturday.
An 11-0 tear from the home side had seen them take a 66-65 lead early in the fourth period but a trey from Jamie Rodwell launched the run which wrapped up the victory for Thomas Baker's team.
Korry Callum and Dougie Bennett led the visitors with 19 points apiece, with new signing John Shodipo marking his debut with 15.
Callum drained a trey to open the scoring and quickly took his tally to five, but Warriors led for most of the first period and despite ten points from Callum, Warriors player-coach Jon Johnson sent his side into the first break with a 23-22 lead.
Bennett hit five straight points to open the second period but there was little to chose between the two sides as they were tied at 41 with 4:27 on the clock before scores from Will Ashby and Bennett gave Leopards a 46-42 half-time lead.
Bennett and Callum kept their side ahead in the second period and the Big Cats were still ahead by four at 54-50 with 3:35 on the clock before a trey from Jamie Rodwell – who finished with nine points – sent the visitors into the final break with a 60-55 lead.
Triples from Bennett and Shodipo helped Leopards into a double digit lead early in the fourth period but any thoughts that the win was secure were quickly dispelled as former Leopard Lawrence Brown used his height to cause havoc in the paint with four straight baskets before Manning wrapped up the 11-0 with a trey to put Warriors 66-65 ahead with seven minutes remaining.
Shodipo broke the run with a trey, and as Leopards tightened their defence and Bennett stole the ball from Johnson and scored on the break. Brown picked up his fourth foul and was taken out of the game, and with Hayes hitting the resulting pair of free-throws and Sodipo dunking on the break, Leopards pulled away before scores from Sodipo and Will Ashby wrapped up the win.
Johnson led all scorers with 22, while Brown added 17 against his former club.

Even if allowed, there isn't a font size large enough for how large I'd like to write "YES!!!" to that!
In addition to the reams of legislation so appropriate to that purpose, I'd like to suggest the 16th & 17th amendments be fervently tied to that thought - Repeal!

The San Antonio senator is confident that Valley veterans are behind her campaign, but veterans say they are so, as long as she keeps her promises.
Texas senator and candidate for lieutenant governor, Leticia Van De Putte visited the valley to speak at the American Legion of Veterans conference in McAllen, where she spoke of her political platform regarding those who have served the country.
In May, controversy surrounded the VA clinics after inefficiencies and backlogs became known, van de Putte has committed to improve the service, by offering educational opportunities to veterans and their families, providing counseling and therapy, improving care for not only serve men but also service women.
But such commitments have ended up being years of empty promises for Placido Salazar, in 2008 he was approached by-then-senator Obama during a campaign tour that he would promise a full VA hospital for the Valley.
For veterans here, primary care, such as surgeries and specialized treatment like oncology are only available in San Antonio.
Felix Rodriguez supports Salazar's idea to add a VA hospital next to the new medical school in Edinburg and hopes the senator will consider it as well.
A word more than 1200 veterans in the valley expect turns into actions.
Van De Putte says that by electing her as lieutenant governor in November she will be given more power to be able to do more for veterans.
Candidate Promises to Improve Valley Veterans' Health

Leaked Documents Expose Stunning Plan to Wage Financial War on Qatar — and Steal the World Cup
A PLAN FOR the United Arab Emirates to wage financial war against its Gulf rival Qatar was found in the task folder of an email account belonging to UAE Ambassador to the United States Yousef al-Otaiba and subsequently obtained by The Intercept.
The economic warfare involved an attack on Qatar's currency using bond and derivatives manipulation. The plan, laid out in a slide deck provided to The Intercept through the group Global Leaks, was aimed at tanking Qatar's economy, according to documents drawn up by a bank outlining the strategy.
The outline, prepared by Banque Havilland, a private Luxembourg-based bank owned by the family of controversial British financier David Rowland, laid out a scheme to drive down the value of Qatar's bonds and increase the cost of insuring them, with the ultimate goal of creating a currency crisis that would drain the country's cash reserves.
WHILE THE SCHEME itself would be an ambitious undertaking, the goal is ultimately petty: It's about soccer.
One of the plan's stated aims is forcing Qatar to share soccer's 2022 World Cup, according to the outline. The strategy laid out in the document calls for using a public relations campaign to point the international soccer body FIFA to Qatar's dwindling cash reserves, making a case that the small Persian Gulf monarchy can't afford to build the necessary infrastructure.
The blockade is already raising prices for infrastructure supplies and recruiting top officials to work in Qatar has been difficult, the slides point out. The outline concludes with the hope that the economic war will make it harder for Qatar to continue building stadiums and other assets needed to host the games: "If Qatar now spends its reserves on protecting the currency and domestic credit markets, there is less dry powder to fund the infrastructure spending."

Happy Earthday, Treehuggers!
1In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
10God called the dry land earth, and the gathering of the waters He called seas; and God saw that it was good. 11Then God said, "Let the earth sprout vegetation: plants yielding seed, and fruit trees on the earth bearing fruit after their kind with seed in them"; and it was so. 12The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit with seed in them, after their kind; and God saw that it was good.
1Thus the heavens and the earth were completed, and all their hosts.
2 Before the mountains were born
Or You gave birth to the earth and the world,
Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.
18 For thus says the LORD, who created the heavens
(He is the God who formed the earth and made it,
He established it and did not create it a waste place,
But formed it to be inhabited),
9 The LORD is good to all,
And His mercies are over all His works.
10 All Your works shall give thanks to You, O LORD,
And Your godly ones shall bless You.
1 The earth is the LORD'S, and all it contains,
The world, and those who dwell in it.
2 For He has founded it upon the seas
And established it upon the rivers.
90 Your faithfulness continues throughout all generations;
You established the earth, and it stands.
1 The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice;
Let the many islands be glad.
2 Clouds and thick darkness surround Him;
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.
1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was in the beginning with God. 3All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.
1God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, 2in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world. 3And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power.
8But of the Son He says,
"Your throne, O God, is forever and ever,
And the righteous scepter is the scepter of His kingdom.
9 "You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness;
Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You
With the oil of gladness above Your companions."
"You, Lord, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth,
And the heavens are the works of Your hands;
11 They will perish, but You remain;
And they all will become old like a garment,
12 And like a mantle You will roll them up;
Like a garment they will also be changed.
But You are the same,
And Your years will not come to an end."
I think you get the idea. These are just a few of the Scriptures which state that:
God made the Earth.
God owns the Earth.
God maintains the Earth.
God is eternal, and the Earth is temporary.
I have no problem with those who want to be good caretakers of God's possession.
God is the Supreme Environmentalist.
"He established it and did not create it a waste place,
But formed it to be inhabited"
Any environmentially-minded indiv who wants to 'Save The Planet'
with his or her own pitiful efforts, without recognizing God's Omnipotence and Ownership of the planet, is like the man who built his house on the sand-foolish.
"37 Who is there who speaks and it comes to pass,
Unless the Lord has commanded it?
38 Is it not from the mouth of the Most High
That both good and ill go forth?
39 Why should any living mortal, or any man,
Offer complaint in view of his sins?
40 Let us examine and probe our ways,
And let us return to the LORD."
Lamentations 3:37-40

text: A few months ago when I decided to take up Sourdough Workshop at Sujit Sumitran's house in Goa, I knew nothing about how my trip would pan out. The only two things on my map that were planned were to take the class and take a train from Goa that crosses over to Belgaum in the bordering state through the majestic Doodhsagar waterfall. As I was researching for a home-stay in Belgaum, travel blogger Elita (@nomadicthunker) told me about this small town in North Karnataka – Dandeli. A quick Googling of pictures of Dandeli were convincing enough and deciding factor in planning the last two days of my 10 day trip.

A new year so a new ranking. This time anticipating the plucking of the Berryz. So in order of preference…
1. Nakajima Saki.
Big shock huh? Ever since Ai-chan's graduation Nacky has been my number one. I don't change oshis very often so I expect the cute, quiet, great dancing, big-gobbed beauty will be number one until C-ute do a Berryz and don't graduate at all. Oh no. No it's a hiatus. Hmm. I have spoken about Nacky so many times on my old blog that I don't have much to add. But the shy little Princess has done so much already in her career and continues to improve as a singer and dancer. Her spirit and hard work, coming from someone who seemed so meek and insecure and who still seems like the quiet type, continues to inspire. Pure beauty! ♥
2. Yajima Maimi.
Maimi has been up there for the past few years. She is absolutely beautiful, athletic, charming, energetic and a little ditsy too. She is just damn cool. Meeting her in handshakes at Japan Expo the past few years has been a wonderful experience. Some idols leave you feeling a bit hmm but Maimi is so sparkling and happy you come away feeling really happy and energised. Her big smile and her warmth leaves you feeling giddy. Perfect! Beauty through and through.
Top two!
3. Hamaura Ayano.
Ayano is cute like a puppy is cute. She's got so much personality, she looks adorable and she's very funny too. It's not often one of the trainees stands out to me so much. The same thing did happen with Maeda Yuuka and Tanabe Nanami though but with nobody else. So it's rare. I'm so pleased she's getting to debut soon. It's just a pity Nanami isn't there too. Anyway Hamachan is a joy to watch. Her expressions and her movements leave you feeling the need to adopt immediately. Her personality flows out towards you in an unstoppable stream of cuteness. It's like pure essence of idol going straight to the heart. Unbeatable!
4. Suzuki Kanon.
I used this ranker here for the results although it didn't include the trainees and still included Berryz. According to the results Kanon is now my favourite Momusu member. Well it's a close thing. There's a few I like but nobody that stands out to me as head and shoulders above the rest like Ai-chan did or Junjun or Sayu or Yurina. No hold on…not Yurina. Wrong kind of head and shoulders. Anyway it is close between the Momusu members and with the addition of the 12th gen it could get even closer. although I have ranked them too it's still early days so I have had to factor in that lack of knowledge to weigh that against favourable first impressions. Time will tell. As for Kanon, well she has shown so much humour since even before she joined. Even her audition was funny and quirky and eye-catching. Since then she has always shone bright whenever they have appeared on tv shows. Sheer force of personality makes a big impression. I'd say the personality is what wins me over most when choosing favourites. Kanon is always entertaining and charming with it.
5. Suzuki Airi.
Really? Ooh she's jumped up. Perhaps it was meeting her in Paris last year. She was so friendly and welcoming. Plus like Kanon she's always shown great humour and charm. She is also cute, a damn good singer and has that unique something that makes you feel really happy when watching her perform. It's clear to see why so many fans love her. She is a unique individual and a perfect idol.
6. Oda Sakura.
Well as expected from an Ai-chan fan Oda gets a high position. She has somewhat similar looks (although not as pretty), a similar voice and in some ways a similar personality too. And if you are going to resemble another idol you may as well resemble the Goddess herself. Ultimately Oda can sing well and seems really unassuming, well-balanced and likeable. I can't help but feel a warmth towards her.
7. Iikubo Haruna.
The Momusu girls continue to make their presence known. Well after C-ute there is still only Momusu that really grabs me musically so it's no surprise. Haruna is pretty, charming and – like with a few of my higher ranking idols – funny too. I also like her cheeks. Puffy cheeks are cute!
8. Ishida Ayumi.
If you had to be eaten alive by one idol what better idol to choose than Bigger Boat? At least you'd know that as your leg disappears down her throat her facial expressions would be big and funny and she'd look really pretty too. She's very good looking, very expressive and can bite through the hull of a small yacht. A unique talent that's perhaps somewhat overlooked by H!P's management. Although what happens in Hawaii stays in Hawaii. Don't mention the missing surfers.
9. Takeuchi Akari.
The first of the AngryS/mileage members to rank is Donald Duck's chubby cheeked tomboy neice Takechan. She's also Maimi's cousin although I see no duck in Maimi so I guess that comes from the other side of the family. Anyway there's something quite attractive about her tomboyish looks and I like her competitiveness. I think my liking for her came from some idol game show I watched several years ago. I can't remember it's name but it had the guys from the classic Momusu idiot and sports test shows. In this show S/mileage, Berryz and several non-H!P idol groups battled it out in several games. I remember the second gen had only just been added to G/rimace. Takechan was the only one to really stand out positively from the second gen then as now. On the show she won a flag race type thing and while that may seem an odd reason to like someone it was more the way she did it. Competitiveness, determination and happiness. She beat older, bigger idols with the kind of athleticism, competitiveness and sense of fun you'd expect from a relative of Maimi. ^^ I also like the fact that she doesn't have the typical type of idol look or personality. There should be idols for everyone and Takechan is a great idol for tomboyish types or half ducks to look up to. Oh and she can look really attractive too. Take the Mystery Night pv for instance. I'd eat her up in a spring roll!
10. Hagiwara Mai.
C-ute's youngest member still has a personality that seems almost a bit yankii at least in attitude if not looks. Yet despite her nearly being 19 now she still seems like a baby so I sort of forgive her it. Maimai has something about her that makes you want to encourage her and support her. A slight vulnerability or lack of confidence maybe? Mixed in with a very un-idol-like straight-forwardness and sense of mischief. She sort of has the air of a young neice. You've got to like her really.
11. Wada Ayaka.
Dawa is obviously a very intelligent young woman. She is studying art and is clearly very passionate about the subject. Her writings on the subject have been very interesting. In fact if you don't know what I'm talking about you can read the English translations here. Wada is a very cheery and likeable idol. Smart, pretty and happy. Pity she's in Angry Girls then. >.>
She's moved up a bit! Kudo is starting to remind me of Yossie due to her tomboyish nature mixed with some similarities in personality and sometimes even expressions. There's definitely always room for an idol like that in Momusu so I am not complaining. However it is not the kind of personality that interests me all that much. Even so she is an idol I do like. Not my favourite type of idol but that's fine. There should be many types of idol and she fits in Momusu well. I do always respect a strong tomboyish type though. I always have this feeling of "you go girl!" Also her husky voice is quite unique and I like it. It's good to have a bit of variety in there.
13 (Deep breath) Sayashi Riho, Okai Chisato, Miyazaki Yuka, Kanazawa Tomoko, Miyamoto Karin, Ogata Haruna, Nonaka Miki, Haga Akane and Makino Maria.
Sayashi Riho.
Okai Chisato
Karin (centre), Yuka (second from right) and Tomoko (right).
Momusu's 12th gen.
Hey the ranker doesn't lie. What this says About Riho I don't know. She's a strong performer but her personality doesn't grab me I guess. Chisato has a good voice but still gives me the impression of being a bit grumpy. Her diet obsession is wearing a bit thin too (pun intended). I don't dislike her but I have never really been engaged by her even after meeting her several times. I don't know much about Juice=Juice but I suppose the three members mentioned are the three I like the look of the best. Yet after two or so years of activities and some good singles I don't really have much to say about them individually. Meanwhile Momusu's 12th gen haven't even released a single yet so it's early days. I'd say early indications are that Miki could be my favourite but without knowing anything about them I don't want to decide yet. At this moment I'd say I find them at least as likeable as the three Juicer=Juicer members and Riho. This is very much the middle ground. The "don't love them but don't have anything I dislike either" area. So why aren't the new Angerme and Country Girls members here too? It's odd isn't it? Best answer I can give is that I'll be far more interested in Momusu and so will see these girls so much more. Therefore I'm already more excited by their possibilities and thus more engaged already. So 13th is very much a holding position for them whereas 13th is very much a much of a muchness position for Riho and the Juicers.
22. Ikuta Erina
Erina used to be so much higher. If this was a football team she'd be sliding towards relegation and her manager would be facing the sack. I don't know. She just doesn't interest me. I find her voice annoying which doesn't help and her personality seemed mainly based around liking Gaki. I just don't find her interesting. Talking of which…
23. Fukumura Mizuki.
Apparently she's always been a big fan of Momusu. Good for her. She at least has good taste. I find her quite boring though.
24.Takagi Sayuki.
I have liked several Juice=Juice singles yet have never really been engaged by the individual members. I have nothing against Sayube but she engages me less than the three previously mentioned.
25. Uemura Akari.
See explanation to 23. Only more so. Maybe it's a looks thing. Well when personalities haven't leaped out at me yet I suppose looks is all there is to go on. Of the five members I think she's the least interesting looking. She's the youngest but looks the oldest and kind of bland too.
26. Mitsui Aika.
Mitsui finds a way to deal with the hectic idol lifestyle she still lives. Because obviously she's still a really active member of H!P. "More booze! No. Two! I want two glasses!"
Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Well not really but I never actually disliked her as a person…I mean dog. I just didn't think she fitted in Momusu. Or any other group I'd be interested in for that matter. She seems nice though and was entertaining when Momusu went to Paris back in 2010. I wish her no rabies. However I'm glad she's no longer in Momusu. She did once give me a great day though. It was the day she graduated. What a party that was. >.>
27. Pretty much everyone else. Well Aikawa Maho, Nakanishi Kana, Katsuta Rina, Fukuda Kanon, Sasaki Rikako, Tamura Meimi, Murota Mizuki, Yamaki Risa, Inaba Manaka, Morito Chisaki, Shimamura Uta, Ozeki Mai, Taguchi Natsumi, Ogawa Rena, Nomura Minami, Wada Sakurako, Fujii Rio, Hirose Ayaka and Inoue Rei.
The Country Girls.
Angerme. Two members I actually like back right.
H!P's newest group. Still no name. One adorable idol fourth from right.
So…I know nothing of the new Angryme girls or the Country Girls. Something tells me I won't be that interested either but time will tell. Ayano's unnamed group will interest me more just because of Ayano. On first impressions the two other members that I have good vibes for are Wada Sakurako and Inoue Rei but it's still too early to lift them up above the rest. Meanwhile Angerme's remaining members are all a big load of blandness. Except Vampire-chan who I still don't like but I won't put her below the others because A. She can sing and B. Her lack of blandness is actually a bold move for that group. It deserves at least something and not being last is that something.
46. Momoko Tsugunaga.
Tsugunaga Momoko
Norman Bates.
46? Really? H!P is frigging huge now. Anyway This is a placing not so much for Momoko Tsugunaga but for Momochi. Like Norman Bates' mum Momochi has pretty much entirely taken over now. There is very little left of the real Momoko. "My name is Momoko. I'm just a normal girl" said the one-time idol as she rocked back and forth before the last vestiges of her personality were cruelly taken away and all that was left was this evil psychotic being called Momochi. A name that could strike fear into the hearts of any aspiring young idol. I hope to
God Tsunku none of the Country Girls ever piss her off. If they do they'd better lock the door before they shower. Still it could be worse. At least she's not…
47. Sato Masaki.
There's weird, there's very weird, there's Momochi but then beyond even that caricature of an idol persona there is something far more unsettling. Unsettling not because it's so absurd but because it seems like a real person. Yes beyond Momochi we have Masaki. Her personality worries me. It can't be good for her to be in the spotlight surely? Did H!P learn nothing from Kago Ai (well I mean nothing wholesome. I'm sure she could have taught them lots of other things though). Masaki has an annoying voice and a face that just isn't my kind of thing but that's not why she's down here in last place. No it's her personality. It's terrifying. Not in a rip your throat out kind of way like with Vampire-chan (who has calmed down a lot anyway these days thank goodness…and his holiness and the garlic and holy water he supplied) but in an uncomfortable "I don't know whether to find her seriously annoying or be worried for her mental health" kind of way. Too harsh? well even if so that's my gut reaction. Like fingernails on a blackboard. She's worse than Mitsui. Mitsui at least seems like a happy dog. Masaki just seems…bonkers. Oh and annoying. Did I mention annoying?
Well that's my ranking. Obviously it goes without saying these are my own personal opinions and are not meant to be taken as statements of fact. I'm sure the ranking will be different in a year's time too. There are so many new members and who knows maybe I'll suddenly get the attraction of some of the lower ranking longer serving members. That's one thing with these rankings. It's like a time capsule of thoughts and feelings. Take Eripon for example. When I look at earlier rankings I see my enthusiasm for this exciting new idol. Now she's going down quicker than a punch drunk boxer (I had other going down quickly examples but I'd better not. I should try and keep the blog at least a bit clean. Besides I've already skitted at Kago Ai once this post). Meanwhile BiggerBoat is going up like a hungry shark that's just spotted some surfers. Mostly my opinions don't differ that much though so if you're expecting Masaki love at some stage you will probably be very disappointed!

Having spent a month working toward a 50,000-word goal, I'm finding it hard to stop.
Rather than fighting it, I'm giving in to what seems to be common sense and setting a new goal: 100,000 words in however many days it takes for me to get there.
I'm still trying to get all my characters to their proper spots for the climax, and they're coming along. However, it's taking some words and some time to get them from their respective point A to point B.
The weather, however, is cooperating beautifully. If there's one thing the weather around here can do, it's whip itself into a frenzy of a thunderstorm. I've lived through quite a few and there were one or two that I wasn't sure I would. So let's just say that I'm going to pull out all the stops and gleefully rain on my own parade.

FORT WORTH (CBSDFW.COM) – Authorities are searching for two men who are suspected of committing several vehicle burglaries in a far north Fort Worth neighborhood earlier this month. All of the incidents took place last Tuesday, April 10, in the Sendera Ranch area.
The men got away with sunglasses, guns, wallets, credit cards and change from several vehicles. Officials have not said exactly how many cars were hit that night.
A home surveillance camera recorded the two men walking along the sidewalk as a car started to approach. The suspects then ran to hide from the driver's view. Police have released that video.
The suspects have only been described by officials as heavyset white males.
Anyone with information about these crimes is urged to contact the Fort Worth Police Department at 817-392-3183.

Troegs Nugget Nectar
Squeeze those hops for all they're worth and prepare to pucker up: Tröegs' newest single batch brew, Nugget Nectar Ale, will take hopheads to nirvana with a heady collection of Nugget, Warrior and Tomahawk hops. Starting with the same base ingredients of our flagship HopBack Amber Ale, Nugget Nectar intensifies the malt and hop flavors to create an explosive hop experience.
While the brewery considers this an "Imperial Amber Ale" RateBeer considers it an IPA due to the hopping rate. There is no need to send any other corrections on the style.
Victory Sour Monkey
Aroma is very varied with lemon, sour, and mild brettanomyces notes. Flavor follows with a tart acidity. Not dry as it finishes with a malty grain flavor.
Sour Monkey puts a tastefully tart twist on our Golden Monkey's sweet, fruity essence. A sharp, citrus-laden tang makes this brew a Monkey all its own!
Victory Golden Monkey
Enchanting and enlightening, this golden, frothy ale boasts an intriguing herbal aroma, warming alcohol esters on the tongue and light, but firm body to finish. Exotic spices add subtle notes to both the aroma and flavor. Strong, sensual and satisfying.
Victory HopDevil
Bold, spicy and menacingly delicious, this American-hopped India Pale Ale offers an aromatic punch and then follows through with a lasting, full-bodied finish.
Victory Kick Back Variety Pack
A variety pack consisting of:
Home Grown American Lager
Prima Pils
Hop Devil
Vital IPA
Victory Summer Love Golden Ale
Enjoy the easy days of summer with this refreshing and aromatic golden ale. Enticing earthy and citrusy hop aromas give way to flavors of lemon and pine.
Brewed locally at the Victory Brewery in Chester County, the Summer of Love Ale is a golden ale made with pale malts, German hops and Brandywine River water. This specific style of beer was chosen because it has a broad appeal and will be accessible for casual beer drinkers, but will still retain exciting hop notes.
Young's Double Chocolate Stout
Chocolate malt and real dark chocolate are combined with Young's award winning rich, full flavoured dark beer to craft a satisfyingly indulgent, but never overly sweet experience.

The Bailey Brooks Breast and Everything Else Tickle Experiment - M/F (HD)
Since Bailey Brooks has HUGE boobs, we sooo wished that they would be ticklish (and I'm sure you do, too!) Unfortunately, as is the case with most breasts, they are NOT. We wanted to prove that to all you boob tickling lovers...it's a pretty rare thing. But fortunately, just under Bailey's breasts happens to be very ticklish...in the ribs and muscles right below them, which is a really fun place to tickle! Psymon explores the rest of Bailey's body and finds that many spots are super ticklish - her fit stomach, her sides, her ribs, her inner thighs, her knees, her feet, her underarms...but none of them seem to be CRAZY ticklish. She doesn't seem to particularly enjoy being tickled and it definitely makes her squirm and yell at us, but she doesn't seem to be overwhelmed with laughter. Still, she's a really fun ticklee and Psymon really enjoyed himself!

Kenna Hates Being Tickled! - M/F (HD)
Gorgeous Kenna Valentina is back! This time restrained in a chair and ankle stocks, wearing a pretty purple bra and panty set. Kenna has one of the most interesting laughs we've ever heard; it's almost like crying! Lots of gasps and pained expressions. She said "red" a number of times (well, she said "stop", but we knew she meant "red"!) because she's just THAT painfully ticklish. She's one of those girls that truly HATES it, so she was a very good sport for us! After tickling her ticklish tummy and sides, Psymon moved down to her thighs and finally her feet; trying various implements out on them. A spiky blue comb seemed to do the trick, as well as the ever-dreaded shrimper. Yikes! All in all, I like seeing Kenna's belly get tickled the most because she just FREAKS out. She's just a damn sexy lee! I (Addie) can't WAIT to tickle her next time... :)

Chinese Exchange Student Gets Tickle Bribed by Addie and Dakota (HD 1080p)
Poor little Asian Foreign Exchange student Mina is hard at work studying when brat girls Dakota and Addie come in to con Mina into doing their homework so that they can hook up with their boyfriends. Mina is so small and puny, so it's not like she can fight back. Fed up with the "dumb act," Addie and Dakota pin her down to the bed and tickle her until she says "Okay, I'll try." But that's not good enough! Addie tickles Mina in between her thighs and her kneecaps while Dakota holds her wrists together above her head. All the while, Chinese Mina is squeaking with laughter. Her belly button definitely tickles, and when Addie pins her legs down and starts tickling her feet, Mina cracks and says she'll do all the homework and their tests. These mean girls won't let up- really driving the point home that Mina is these mean girls' bitch. Flailing around, Mina giggles while the girls pull up her top and tickle her nipples with their fingers and tongues. Poor little Mina!
Shelby Paige Thinks She Isn't Ticklish (HD 1080p)
"I'm a pretty good tickler," says Addie and proves it to Shelby Paige as she strokes her armpits and belly with her fingernails. With each stroke, Shelby quivers and jumps making her leopard and lace bikini bounce. Even though the backs of her thighs aren't ticklish, her feet certainly are! She is giggling an awful lot for someone who isn't ticklish. You also get a great view of her perky breasts as Shelby begs Addie to stop. If you liked this, then you'll love it when Shelby gets payback in the video "Shelby Paige Gets Her Tickle Revenge on Addie Juniper."
Paige's Feet Get Tickled by the Boss (HD 1080p)
Secretary Paige Erin Turner is diligently working when her boss comes in and keeps eyeing her feet. She looks at him strange, but he still reaches under her desk, slips her shoes off and begins to tickle her nylon-covered feet in his lap! She tries not to laugh and pretends not to notice, as she doesn't want to lose her job. Finally, she can't take it any longer and tells him, "Look, I really do like having my feet tickled, but I prefer for them to be bare." Then she slips off her nude stockings and puts her feet up on her desk, allowing him to tickle her bare soles all he wants! She laughs and laughs and shrieks, scrunching her pretty soles up as he tickles her senseless!
Prisoner Paige is Tickled for Information (HD 1080p)
Miss Paige Erin Turner is escorted to the holding chamber before the enhanced interrogation techniques will begin. Paige is insistant that she's not giving up any information, so the agent needs to resort to the most extreme measures: tickling! Expertly trained in tickling, this agent has Paige cornered at the wall, handcuffed, while he squeezes her sides and tickles between her ribs. She acts tough, but listen to that girl laugh! There's no way that she can hold out much longer, can she? Taking her restraints off only long enough for her to strip down and get into the chair, the agent rope ties her ankles and slides her feet onto his lap so round 2 can begin! Even though she tries to hold out as long as possible, biting her lips, Paige quickly cracks as the agent tickles her feet and toes. Digging his fingers into her soles, he is very adamant about getting this information! Even though she doesn't crack yet, he's got a few tricks up his sleeve- lying her on her stomach and spreading her legs wide apart, Paige is tied to the bed. Now at her most vulnerable, there's no way she can withstand the tickle torture! As her rubs her belly, sides, and under her arms, she flails and squeals as he gets all the right spots. Since her feet are rope tied to the bed, he moves down and scratches at the soles of her feet while she giggles. Moving up her legs and behind her knees, he'll keep tickling her inner thighs and upper leg. Man, this girl can take a LOT of tickle torture!
Heather Silk Gang Tickled with Implements - FF/F (HD 1080p)
After being tickle tortured and teased relentlessly by Heather, it's time for Alexis to exact her revenge! She has Heather's arms tied above her head and her feet in metal stocks. Now Heather is probably one of the most ticklish chicks EVER; she just freaks out at the lightest touch or anticipation of a touch! So it was easy for Alexis to get her good (except that the bondage kind of sucked...sorry guys!). Addie arrives with the tickle tools that Alexis ordered. "Um..they're just sex toys!"Alexis lies; but Addie has given it away. Addie joins Alexis in holding Heather down and tickling her mercilessly in every possible area. Addie sits on her legs and tortures her feet with fingernails, an electric toothbrush, a hair brush and Alexis joins in with a feather! Addie holds Heather's arms back while Alexis tickles her good! Heather does manage to break her arms free at the end due to her constant thrashing, but no matter, she's still being overpowered by two girls! She even continues to laugh after Addie and Alexis walk away! Just the idea of it keeps her going. Can't wait to get Heather in our new tickle furniture...next time, guys!
First Time Tickled Alura Jenson is Held Down by Cheyenne Jewel (HD 1080p)
Just when Alura Jenson tries to say that she hasn't been tickled before on camera and that no one has made her giggle before, then Cheyenne Jewel makes her squeal! She's up to the challenge, knowing that no woman big or small, young or old is immune to her feverish fingers! Cheyenne straddles Alura in bed, and she starts breathing heavily and laughing out loud! When she thrashes around, you can tell she is totally ticklish! A few times her big tits slip right out of her bra and you see several nip slips :p This doesn't deter Cheyenne who has to hold her down between her legs and work her skin. Lovely girl on girl tickling time!
Addie's Upside Down Tickling from Star (HD 1080p)
With Star Nine hovering over Addie Juniper who's suspended by her ankles, both girls are basically naked apart from their pantyhose and bras. Addie's legs tied above her head to the wall behind her leaving her in quite a predicament! Star wants to tickle Addie as punishment for falling asleep on her. Turns out that the pantyhose only adds to the tickle sensation.
Rubbing a hard hair brush all over the soles of Addie's feet, Star makes her scream out laughing. No area is safe- Star gets Addie's feet, her ribs, and the backs of her knees. Star even finds a new super sensitive area- the crease formed where Addie's leg meets her hips. After threatening to gag Addie who is giggling too loudly, Star has to hold her hand over Addie's mouth to control her yelling out! What a great tickle fantasy!
Amber Daisy Rae Blindfolded Upper Body Tickling - F/F (HD)
Amber Daisy Rae has been blindfolded and tied down with her boobies exposed! Gasp! And now Psymon is gonna give her upper body a good workout with some merciless tickling! The great thing about blindfolds is that the victim...I mean, um, model...doesn't know when it's coming! Amber's underarms are CRAZY ticklish, she does NOT like it when Psymon teases her there. She tries desperately to squeeze her elbows together to shield herself, but it doesn't work! Psymon also tickles the hell out of her sides, ribs, and tummy. Poooor Amber!
