Science at work! My friend Pat and I just solved one of the great mysteries of our time. I'll let you see it unfold in real-time via our Instant Messager conversation:
- Pat: actually, what time is it there
krisinsydney: it's 10:16 a.m.
Pat: oh
krisinsydney: We're, what, seven hours behind Chicago?
Pat: but its tomorrow
krisinsydney: right.
Pat: crazy round earth
Pat: so, does the toilet swirl the other way down there?
krisinsydney: i think that's a myth.
krisinsydney: i haven't watched though.
krisinsydney: okay, so flush yours and see which way it goes.
Pat: ok, i'll be right back
krisinsydney: i'll go do mine.
Pat: right to left
Pat: counter clockwise
krisinsydney: no way!
Pat: what does yours do
krisinsydney: well, ours doesn't actually swirl. it just whooshes straight down. but i filled the sink and pulled the stopper and THAT goes clockwise!
Pat: haha
Pat: i told you
Pat: mr wizard wouldnt lie to me
See? Conclusive proof that drains swirl one way in the Northern Hemisphere, and one way in the Southern. Now we just need someone equatorial to tell us what they do in the middle. Kristen??

Looking out of the aircraft window at night I marvel at all the tiny lights that make up the tiny towns below. In between the pockets of brightness looms the shadows in between. Every place I fly over is different. Leaving LA is a spectacular sight of glowing colors and tangled streets. All roads leading somewhere, anywhere. Other unknown towns I pass on my journey in the sky have lights strewn far and few between, darkness more prevalent than the light. I am the little town, mostly full of darkness with patches of light, enough to illuminate some of the blackness within. Sometimes the lights burn out and dim, no one can tell from far away. Through the tiny window in a plane I observe the impossibly small world below. So tighty and everything in order. Everything always looks better from far away. That way no one can see what hides in the crevices, no one can see the chaos in the states, counties, or cities. From up here all I know is that time is suspended, on pause for a moment while life spins round down on the ground below.
Sometimes I want to stay in the sky never to land. Avoiding life and the weight of the unknown. I feel safe here, away from the craziness of the ant colony, us humans call home.

This is fantastic Diane - I liked it when you first showed it, but seeing it as the backdrop for the snowmen really brings it to life. Next it will be penguins, maybe a nice tropical backdrop for someone who wants to lie on the lounger and sip tropical drinks!!!

The Silver and Gold bubble
Folks, we are at 5000 years highs in both metals. I look back to the tech bubble to try and compare this. My colleague said, "Shit man, on any given day anyone I talked to knew the closing price of nortel."
I ask you this: if I was to go downtown right now and ask 100 random people, how many would know the closing price of silver for friday?
Then we got talking about banks, hedge funds, etc. Are they buying? No.
So if banks, sheep, hedge funds, and JP Morgan are not buying...who the fuck is sending this into "bubble" territory?
Will we have some sort of gay, psychological, algo black box selling at $50 and $1500. Sure. Does this mean its over. Fat fucking chance. Bottom of the 4th tops.
I'll stick to my $75 silver by New Years Eve. And guess what? Thats still lights years away from its inflation adjusted 1980 price. We are getting fucked here people so bad we dont even know it. I mean, do you know how easy it was for a stock to go from $1-$200 in the tech boom? Did you know that Amazom was a Billion $ company before they even had there first quarter report?
Stick with the guys that know whats going on. Look at it this way; those that know whats up will be praying for a selloff to buy more physical, NOT waiting for it to go up to buy more. This is clearly NOT a bubble or anything anywhere near it. The only bubble remaining to be pooped is the $US as, that, in my humble opinion is still overvalued by 100% of its current value.
Keep stacking, and keep praying for a selloff to buy more. $50 will look like pocket change a year from now.

Owning physical is no longer a luxury ...it's necessity.ReplyDelete
When the Chinese openly declare they are selling off 2 trillion in paper and PIMCO has already sold all of its US treasuries...why do we seen the think we know better?
These folks will be taking their TRILLIONS and buying hedges with the money they get back ...gold and silver are already announced...expect them to invest in source companies so they own the commodites from the ground up... all across the commodity spectrum.
The only move that is a loser is sitting on paper money or heaven forbid locking it into a fixed return instrument of any kind!!!!
SGS - Keep stacking, and keep praying for a selloff to buy more. $50 will look like pocket change a year from now.ReplyDelete
I have been waiting for someone to say this. I'm buyin more physical and prayin for a pullback at the same time. I'm selling everything thats been schlepin along in my IRA and increasing my PM exposure to about 70% and the rest is going to Ultra short QQQ. Ride the waves !
Hey the TV talking heads are claiming its a bubble and to sell. George Soros says its a bubble too, but he quietly has been buying it up lately.ReplyDelete
I don't know anyone who owns silver, and when you suggest it they look at you like your waving your penis at them.
Everyone is buying mutual funds and RRSP's, I know one who is buying Treasury bonds haha.
Listen to Lindsey Williams, he says buy every bit you can get your hands on, you would be wise to do it.
I wonder if the Fed is going to bump us the US$ because of the news/warning from China. Hmm...?ReplyDelete
Soooo, got a 0% APR until April 2012 credit card coming in the mail. Is it a no brainer to load up on silver on this CC with a year to go before having to pay any interest or is that insanity buying physical on credit...kicker is the bank is JPMReplyDelete
SGS, as always I appreciate your rough, but coherent analysis. Bravo sir.ReplyDelete
I was asked by people who's driving silver price this high while they could not find a source in COT or sth. Well big guns no longer shop at CRIMEX no more knowing it's all fraud. They do deals under the table directly with the mining companies so they choke Morgue off right at the source, which is why there's tightness everywhere.ReplyDelete
OT ---ReplyDelete
I recall reading a comment on a top science web site a couple months ago and they asked how will we communicate to aliens when they finally land, presumably they will be a million years more advance than us. What will be some of our cultural, philosophical, technological and artistic accomplishments and who will represent human civilization when they land. Some bright very, very, very bright light said Lady Gaga should be our ambassador because she represents the human race and all our accomplishments! I said I am not worthy to unstrap her sandals! Please let me clip her toe nails and paint her nails in preparation and let me lie down so she can step on my head as she leans forward to greet them. This is the society we live in, so don't be disappointed when the dollar rises tomorrow when the world finds out China is Selling $2 Trillion in Treasuries. This should be followed by a record triple digit jump on the NY Stock Exchange. Welcome to the Wonderful World of free FED money. A world where all your dreams come true!
I've been buying physical since $14 and made my last purchase at $41. It has been a fun ride so far and always nice to be on the right side of what should be the best investment this decade. Unfortunetly, I still have to go into my shot job tomorrow because I don't know how to maximize my silver trade with options etc. Any advice from anyone?ReplyDelete
I've made a total of 3 converts in 10 years in the "outside" world. One of them took 3 years of persuading to convince to buy gold and silver.ReplyDelete
I've always said I'll know a top is finally near when the guys at the gym start telling me to invest in gold and silver. They're all still talking about football and watching Cramer now.
Did anyone ever get their Canada Box of Bears? How long did it take?ReplyDelete
Irrational exuberance? I think not. Over bought? Over owned? Over speculated? Right.ReplyDelete
In celebration of Easter, the wife and I watched Passion of the Christ. How fitting is it that Judas sold Jesus out for bag of 30 silver coins? Amazing timing I must say.
Max said $47 would be Morgue's Achilles heel and Bob Chapman said $55-60. Fourth inning? We're still in warm ups.
Well, history is littered with the corpses of dead currencies, so...ReplyDelete
dude, it makes me sooo sad that the V A S T majority of Americans & Canadians are clueless as to what is really up with the currencies. I use to spend time trying to explain what is up with the currency devaluations and it got to a point I was staring at goats... I have now simplified it to; "read your bible". I am now keenly aware of the fact that the "ordained" are bringing forward the 1WO for ol' Beelzebub to rule... yawn. If the "rapture" don't happen first, we're going to witness an utter collapse of the system and 99.9% of folks will be totally unprepared.... tragic! Thanks for the continued insight and I look forward to reading more...rock on!ReplyDelete
I was reading an article ( ofcourse i can't remember who wrote it) mabey about a month ago and it said only about 10,000 people in all of north america have physical silver.... so yes we are a very small group of people.ReplyDelete
I've only managed to convert 1 out of 3 my best buddies.ReplyDelete
Within my family, I managed to convert my Mom, my sister but not my younger brother.
Luckly, my mom still remembered vaguely her parents(my granma) struggling for basic necessities in the hyper inflation back in 1945-1950. This is in Hiroshima, Japan.
I carry full presentation kit (Japan budget, US budget, Old silver coins (both from Japan and US), Future market facts (backwardation) to explain how government kept stealing people's wealth by diluting value of fiat paper.
Over the weekend, I saw 2011 Canadian Maple being sold at more than 5,000 yen (US$60.97) on Yahoo Japan auction site. Physical will dissapear very soon no matter how much price.
Don't know one pal who has bought metals ... Live in seattle, asked all of my pals in last week if they know anyone or if they even bring it up or hear about it, and they say NO.ReplyDelete
Kinda funny i got into this after figuring out that muslims had nothing to do with 9/11, neocons and mossad fingerprints all over it, so sadly via those rogues I was waken up enough to delve into PMs ...
ironic where twists lead us
red pill addicts with grip their "seeing eye" spondulix even falling off a cliff ...
if 5% wake up the metals will go to moon.
the line shoulda read:ReplyDelete
red pill addicts will grip their "seeing eye" pyramid spondulix even falling off a cliff
By the way, in Japanese (and in Chinese), how we write money and bank is:-ReplyDelete
Bank--->Silver House
I mention this in my presentation to my close friends but still doesn't work...

With what we know about JPM and their machinations can you fathom them being the custodian of record and holding SLV's metal in their vaults. Common sense tells me there is no silver in SLV. Just IOU's by JPM. Typical bank fraud or Ponzi scheme and I think that goes for GLD as well. In Roman times 20 pieces of silver was a lot of money. The way it should still be today. Let's see what Bernie has to say at the first press conference to be held in the history of the Fed. Maybe he is going announce printing $2 trillion to purchase the bonds held by the Chinese that they propose to divest. Another $1.2 trillion for the Japanese to be used to rebuild their country. An what else....ReplyDelete
Jesus had to take a Whip to the Bankster of his day, to drive them out of His Fathers Temple.. We need to look at the Trash they Call Money and Trade it for REAL MONEY ! And Use it as Our WHIP! Fit these Banksters for Orange Jump Suits.. All my adult kids are buying.. Have talked many into buying.. I keep spreading the word.. North America needs to keep all it can.. Don't give up on Family and Friends.. And don't beat them over the head either.. Be Humble.. Our Governments have been dumbing us down for Years ! And of course treating our water supply with Fluoride and such ! Give them a Break ! The Nazis used it on the Jews to keep them Dull! Feel Privileged to be on the in crowd !ReplyDelete
Moon shoot spike went up $0.30 cent in like 15 seconds.
Excellent post SGS, very valid points.
I ask one question to people now:
Can you name one reason, one fundamental for silver not being priced over $50?
I have never got a response.
Can you name one reason, one fundamental for silver not being priced over $50?ReplyDelete
I have never got a response.
Nope. And once it gets over it's all time high, it's game over.
ONE fundamental reason, and the ONLY reason(is obvious)is JPM, GS,HSBC,etc...have carte-blanche to write more shorts without a deposit like regular investors.
I agree, after all-time high is taken out, there is no ceiling.
One guy I respect just gave his case for silver at $750. I thought Keiser was crazy calling for $500 eventually.NOW, it looks rather obvious as all the TRUE information has been finally out in public domain this last year.
Man, I love these posts! I am a new to buying physical. It's about a month since I purchased my first few ounces. I am so into it now and trying to learn everything I can. My therapist warned me to speak to my AA sponsor as it might be an addiction! Ha! She doesn't understand. :) But anyway. Thanks for the comments and the blog because it helps us newbies stay focused and not sweat the dips. I bought two more times after the first buy and both were on dips. Love Silver! I even bought an Ag T-shirt: http://www.cafepress.com/+silver_ag_dark_tshirt,194535115ReplyDelete

Our trip to St.Mary's and Cumberland Island was wonderful. Stayed at the beautiful Emma's Bed and Breakfast again. Their garden was full of Ginger Lilies, it smelled like heaven, so I came home and ordered a bunch for my garden. It says they love water so they should love my garden, it's a part-time swamp. There was something really cool going on in St.Mary's, all the business's make Scarecrow displays that are on the divider down the main street of town, it looked great.
Cumberland Island was gorgeous, as always. Mac spent his day looking for shark's teeth and found over a 100 of them. I spent the day painting, I'll post about that tomorrow.

In club football anywhere in the world, there are few games that command the attention and pedigree of the El Clasico. The world stands at attention anytime Real and Barcelona lock horns whether in La Liga or any other competition.
In this latest encounter in the long line of El Classico matches, this particular one means much more in the scheme of things to one side than it does to the other side. Real Madrid are in a difficult situation when it comes to their current standing in La Liga. They're currently 11 points behind their rivals, and playing them at home make this game a must win for Los Blancos.
Anything less than three points would be a disappointment for Real and make things all the more difficult when it comes to their attempt at climbing back towards the top of the Spanish top flight.
When it comes to tactics both sides are looking like they'll deploy a similar variation of a 4-4-2 system, at least on paper. Real Madrid are looking like they'll play a 4-4-2 or some variation of it with Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema sitting up top. The variation to this could come with Isco playing the false attacker role where he has more freedom in the midfield behind Benzema and Ronaldo.
Real Madrid captain, Sergio Ramos said it best when he said: "It's a really big game, no words can do it justice. It's a different sort of match. It's the most important one in world football, and given the points difference ahead of kick-off, we've got to win it to keep ourselves in the hunt in La Liga."
Barcelona are unbeaten in La Liga this season and have managed to turn around the earlier sentiments that power has shifted in Spain after their two legs defeat in the Spanish Super Cup. They will be seeking to maintain that record and ensure they leave the Bernabeu with their sterling records intact.
Ronaldo has struggled a bit this season in comparison to his arch rival, Lionel Messi. These two guys are match winners and this game represent the biggest field through which they highlight their importance to their respective teams.
Whoever wins this match would have taken a giant step towards regaining the league title or stopping the determined match of the other.
As always, El Clasico is there to enjoy with the array of top talents in the world on play. We will do just that!
Projected starting XI:
Real Madrid: Navas, Carvajal, Ramos, Varane, Marcelo, Casemiro, Kroos, Modrić Isco, Ronaldo, Benzema
Barcelona: Ter Stegen, Roberto, Pique, Vermaelen, Alba, Busquets, Paulinho, Iniesta, Rakitic, Messi, Suarez
Real Madrid 2 – 2 Barcelona

Flogging now illegal in Europe
Commercial Blogging become illegal on Monday night in Europe. Those pesky people who wax lyrically and effuse wondrous statements about hotel sites and restaurants will now face the ire of the European Commission.
Not quite sure how it will get enforced but... oh well you have now been warned.
So ANYONE doing this is committing an illegal act.
This practice has some wonderful names:
So you have been warned hoteliers.
Does this mean that we will be clear of content that is not commercial in blogs. Far from it. But anyway... lets hope Tripadvisor and its ilk clean up their act(s) accordingly.

Investigative reporters at GotNews uncovered claims of massive voter fraud in Mississippi in the Thad Cochran-Chris McDaniel primary election. Chris McDaniel who plans to contest the primary has not yet presented any proof of fraud.
A Democratic black reverend, Stevie Fielder, associate pastor at First Union Missionary Baptist Church and a former public official, says he was paid by a black member of the Cochran campaign to buy hundreds or even thousands of black votes. The reverend was told that Cochran's opponent, Chris McDaniel was a racist.
Reverend Fielder, he saved the text messages.
The reverend was told by campaign worker Saleem Baird that Cochran needed to get 10,000 votes to beat the alleged racist McDaniel. The reverend delivered hundreds of votes.
The campaign agreed to pay $15 a vote. The reverend went door-to-door telling the voters that McDaniel was a racist and they'd get paid.
The reverend received the money for the votes but the reverend was stiffed for the $16,000 he was supposed to get.
The campaign gave him $300 in cash separated into envelopes to pay 20 people on numerous occasions.
Baird asked the reverend to delete all texts between the two of them but he didn't.
In addition to Baird, Fielder says he spoke with Kirk Sims, the Cochran campaign manager, and a woman named "Amanda" with the campaign, most likely Amanda Shook, director of operations to re-elect Thad Cochran. All refused to pay him the agreed upon amount of $16,000.
Reverend Fielder did what he did to keep a racist out of office, he said, and the voters were happy to get the $15.
The reverend said this was going on throughout the state. He discovered the weekend before the election that McDaniel might not be a racist.
He said he wants to right a wrong.
It's against Mississippi law and federal law for campaign officials to bribe voters with cash and punishable up to five years in jail. (MS Code 97-13-1; MS Code 97-13-3 (2013) (Federal Code 18 U.S.C. 597, U.S.C. 1973i(c)).
In addition, volunteers working for Chris McDaniel say they have already found 20 percent of invalid double-votes in one country alone – Hind County.
If there is enough doubt about the election, McDaniel can force another runoff.
If this is true, some people need to go to jail.
Mississippi has seen massive voter fraud before according to the Daily Caller.
Go to Got News for the details.
Listen to Reverend Fielder:

But our politicians, and probably more importantly the media, slavishly follow the EU barely criticising or questioning its trampling underfoot of basic democracy. How can they just sit back and allow this to continue? If Brown loses the next general election, but decides to adjust his party manifesto and re-run the election, would this country be as docile and subservient as to allow it, as we have repeatedly allowed it in the case of the EU? Have we lost all sense of decency and honesty?
So where are the politicians, especially those who supported bombing Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere into submitting to 'democracy'? Well it could be said that people like 'Woy' Jenkins, Leon Brittain, Kinnock, Lady Mandy of Mandelson and others have been bought off, they became very wealthy as EU Commissioners. But why have all the others, and the media, merely rolled over?
My opinion is that the anti-EU movement, those whose sole focus is on getting out of the EU, has attracted too many freaks, oddballs and conspiracy theorists. Serious opponents of EU membership eventually become tired of having to share groups, platforms, meetings with the nutters who see a conspiracy around every corner, be it the Illuminati, Common Purpose or some other figment of a paranoid and hyper-active imagination.
This causes a couple of problems. It drives real Eurosceptics away from organisations campaigning against continued EU membership, and provides easy material for opponents who want to blacken the name of people and organisations campaigning against the EU. Your everyday voter on the street does not want to be told that we are being controlled by 6 foot lizards by a man in a dodgy lilac, or whatever colour shell suit, he will run a mile.
So where now for Eurosceptics? Well, UKIP sold out a long time ago. Compared to the Greens and the BNP they have not progressed since 1999. The resources that came with three MEPs from 1999 to 2004, twelve from 2004 to 2009 and now thirteen MEPs, have been squandered. Where it counts, in UK elections, they have been a disaster. Indeed, in my view the media intentionally backed off criticising UKIP in the Euro election campaign in order not to drive the protest vote to the BNP. Why else was virtually no mention made of Ashley Mote or Tom Wise when the expenses of MPs were in the spotlight? Indeed around 23 May 2009 Peter Oborne in his Daily Mail column said:
"NIGEL FARAGE'S United Kingdom Independence Party is shaping up as the major beneficiary of the European elections to be held next month. There is talk that it could even demote New Labour to a richly deserved fourth place. Yet UKIP's record on expenses-fiddling is at least as bad as the Tories' or Labour's, as I will reveal on this page next week. Don't vote for them".
Strangely Oborne's expose of UKIP's scandals did not appear in his column the following week. I wonder why?
My conclusion is that people who oppose EU membership must support a party that has EU withdrawal as part, but not the be all and end all, of its manifesto. Less than 8% of those who would like us out of the EU would put that number one on their list for a general election, they vote on health, education, law and order and other issues. So I urge you to consider the Libertarian Party if you value our traditional freedoms and liberty.

As our last Opening the Space event arrives, we ask George Staib, Senior Lecturer, to delve into his experience with Gaga technique after journeying to Tel Aviv for a Gaga intensive. Staib shares with us how Gaga has influenced his technique classes and helped shape his upcoming evening length piece, Versus. Staib will be teaching a technique class next Tuesday, November 6 at 7:30 pm in the Schwartz Center Dance Studio.
Gaga is an improvisational technique developed by Ohad Naharin, the current artistic director of Batsheva Dance Company in Tel Aviv, Israel. The technique is founded upon vivid imagery, used to provoke specific movement qualities and assist in developing a keen awareness of the entire body while moving. Participants are asked to work internally, always using sensations as a source for movement, rather than psychological triggers. This allows for greater individual exploration and helps the mover become acutely aware of his/her habits, offers keys to new movement inventions, and strengthens the performer's ability to communicate physically.
When did you first come across Gaga? What was your initial reaction?
My first experience was in New York while watching the Cedar Lake dancers perform Naharin's work Deca Dance. I was transfixed; moved by their physicality, intrigued by their ferociousness, and in awe of their command over their bodies. Since that experience, I stalked Batsheva on-line and became obsessed. Never having been an improviser myself, I was skeptical; but having had the experience in Tel Aviv, I must admit that I am a believer.
I found that since studying, my eye is now more focused upon subtlety. I believe that I am gaining more insight where finding "glitches" might be concerned, and I feel better suited to offer advice. Certainly, I do not wish to turn everybody into a Gaga inspired dancer, I simply wish to provide a different perspective from the things I am able to understand more fully now. I do use imagery I obtained in Israel, and use the freedom I felt as a point of departure. When something is especially wonderful to you, you want to share it. And although I am by no means a certified Gaga teacher, I can offer a little of what I learned while studying in Israel. I must admit, that becoming certified is on the horizon for me, and I will be returning to Tel Aviv this summer for the Gaga Intensive.
Has Gaga inspired any of the movement in your upcoming work, Versus?
Gaga, or rather the study of Gaga, I guess you could say, has certainly opened my body to new movement and that freedom has brought new vocabulary. I would say that, yes, I do feel as though "Versus" will look and feel different, not only because of the subject matter, but because my dancers are moving differently and we are all feeling ideas differently. It is an exciting time. I believe we will always like what reminds us of home, but sometimes, it is nice to redecorate - for me that's what Gaga has done - like fresh paint on familiar walls.
All Opening the Space events are free. Please see our Facebook page for more details. For information on the Emory Dance Program, please go to our website.

That Thing You Do
My best friend, Tamra and I (and I think I've mentioned this before) began noticing that he was increasingly everywhere! Shopping in the store, he was on a box of candy. Shopping for clothing, he was on T-shirts and souvenirs. Magazines, Books, Calendars, Wall Hangings, of course CDs and on the Radio! Since we couldn't shake him, we decided to make it a huge joke. We sent each other silly Elvis post cards "written by the king himself", letters, funny voice messages (It got to where I was pretty good at doing an Elvis impersonation myself!) We even stopped off at a photo booth and posed with him in his Pink Caddy.
The madness continues even today, although Big E has let up a little bit, but he always lets me know he isn't far... He's still watching, waiting and reminding.
I was thinking about this phenomenon of being "Stalked" by certain things like that this morning when I woke up to the movie "That Thing You Do" on T.V. Not that it's a bad movie, I kind of enjoyed it the first couple of times I watched it and my niece Jolie, she used to love it. So I scan over the movie briefly, go about my business and leave for work. Get in the Elevator to head up to my floor this morning and the song, "That Thing You Do" is blaring from the Musak in the elevator. I begin to get that 'creepy' feeling once again. Is someone trying to tell me something? ;)
|Your reaction?

I get stalked by certain songs all the time. I'll get in the car and some song will be on so I'll change radio stations and moments later they'll play the same song. It's usually a really crappy song too. LOl
Elvis was okay, I guess. His movies sucked though. LOL

I watched a bunch of Elvis footage during Elvis Month on TV Land and I think that Elvis now owns a painting company in DC because I think I worked for him for 4 years in the 1990's. I could be wrong though.

The Routeburn track is an attractive multi day trip for both Nate and myself. I need to check this "walk" out as I am meant to run it in less than a month now. It's attractive to Nate as it is one of the Great Walks and is reportedly spectacular by pretty much everyone who has done it. I've never spoken to someone who has done Routeburn and not raved about the experience. So after a few weeks of missed opportunities we finally both got the same days off work and booked beds at the Mckenzie hut for last Thursday and Friday. We had all our travel arrangements worked out and I had gotten all the camping equipment we needed on loan from my roommate, Mark. We were set, and getting damn excited about the trip. On Tuesday Mark sent me a text that read "Don't get too excited about R-burn, the road to Milford is closed due to a landslip, they don't know when it will reopen".
The DOC confirmed what we already suspected. We could start walking from Glenorchy as we planned, but we would not be allowed to walk out to the Divide. We were given two options: Spend the night at the Mckenzie Hut and then turn around and walk back out the way we came (not very appealing). Or spend the night at the Mckenzie Hut and then take the Greenstone Caples track out (very appealing, but turning a 1 night two day trip into a 3 night, 4 day trip). Forever optimistic, and not about to let two days off in a row get wasted, we started to investigate our alternatives.
You may be asking yourself why I provided you with a boat load of background info about a trip that got cancelled. And there is a good answer to that very good question. All of the information will be very important when the Routeburn Classic rolls around at the endof April. On that note here's a quick training update. I ran 15 miles today in about 2 hours and 40 minutes. This includes 4 bathroom stops (ridiculous), two waters stops and about 7 minutes I spent trying to find my dropped car key on the track. This is the furthest distance I've run in my training and I'm very pleased with how I feel today. I'm confident that I'll be ready on race day. The next two weeks will be the most important as far as training and nutrition are concerned. After that I will start to taper down my weekly mileage and focus on resting up for the big day. I am bubbling with excitement.
Back on point. We quickly narrowed our potential destinations down to a couple of choices. Drive south to the Catlins, or North to Mt. Cook. In his pre-travel research, Nate became particularly fascinated with this website http://www.mountainphotographer.com/ (click on the New Zealand category) and grew a little obsessed with this one photo http://www.widerange.org/photo/mueller-hut/. The picture shows the Mueller Hut. I took a look at the picture and the decision was made. We were heading North to Mt. Cook to stay at the Mueller Hut. If you really have too much free time on your hands at work (and I know some of you do), you can read about the Mueller Hut here: http://www.doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recreation/tracks-and-walks/canterbury/aoraki-area/mueller-hut-route/.
No surprises here, I have completely outdone myself and written a whole lot about nothing at all. It's gotten late on my end and I need to get some rest. But the Mueller Hut story is soon to follow.

Friends and teammates of Kent Winberry, who died Oct. 27 after being hit by a car while riding his bicycle on Duke University Road Oct. 18, rode in his memory Sunday.
About 15 to 18 members of the Triangle Velo cycling team met at Wilson Park in Carrboro to ride to the funeral in Durham and then to the cemetery. Some wearing black ribbons, the riders served as a graphic reminder of the perils that face cyclists in Durham and elsewhere, a problem that civic and nonprofit leaders here are working to confront.
"For me, this is just about Kent," said Paul Smith of Chapel Hill, a Velo member. "He was one of ours. It could have been me out there."
Philip Azar opened the most recent meeting of Durham's InterNeighborhood Council with a moment of silence for Winberry.
A few minutes later, the group heard Assistant Police Chief Ed Sarvis describe the department's efforts to make Durham's streets safer for cyclists and pedestrians.
There is a new emphasis on enforcing traffic laws, Sarvis said. For one thing, the department is spreading responsibility for traffic enforcement across all five of the city's police districts.
"Everything right now is done primarily in the central district," he said. That district covers downtown and the neighborhoods around it.
"The central district has a very small (geographic) beat," he said but it also has had authority over specialized traffic services such as the motorcycle unit (most often seen as funeral escorts) the bicycle patrol and a traffic and crash unit.
"We see the need to really start to broaden that," Sarvis said.
"We're going to design and implement more enforcement operations in neighborhood crosswalks," he said. A recent project was extra enforcement on crosswalks near the high schools.
"We wrote a good number of citations; hopefully they got a lot of attention," Sarvis said. "Hopefully that visibility helped, and (drivers) realizing that we do take that seriously and they're rolling the dice if they go through there fast."
Sign rules
John Martin, representing the Old North Durham neighborhood, said he sees motorists generally heed signs at mid-block crosswalks that state "Yield to pedestrians in crosswalk state law."
However, he said he knew of only three – at Brightleaf Square, on Ninth Street and on Foster Street at the Durham convention center – and suggested installing more.
Dale McKeel, the city traffic department's bicycle-pedestrian coordinator who attended the INC meeting, said rules restrict where those signs may be placed: for example, only in the middle of blocks and where speed limits are 35 miles per hour or less.
Building pressure
After the moment of silence there was no more mention of Winberry's death, nor that of Durham resident Pamela Lane, who was hit and killed while riding her bicycle in Chapel Hill Oct. 3.
Nearly a month after Lane's death on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, Chapel Hill has begun making several changes, including digital "high-crash area" warning signs, a WikiMap application, pedestrian-activated crosswalk lights and cutting back brush at intersections.
In Durham, the INC, the city-county Bicycle and Pedestrian Commission and individual citizens have been pressing police for stricter enforcement of speed limits and right-of-way rules, particularly on major roads through long-established residential areas.
The current pressure began building in 2012 when a Durham School of the Arts student was hit by a car as she was crossing Gregson Street in Trinity Park. In 2013, bicyclist Seth Vidal died after being hit by a car on Hillandale Road, a primary connector between Interstate 85 and the Duke and VA medical centers.
According to the latest state DOT pedestrian and bicycle crash statistics ( bit.ly/1zKpp5a), the city of Durham had four cyclists killed and 30 disabled in collisions with motor vehicles from 1997 through 2012. In the same time, there were 62 pedestrian traffic fatalities and 192 who suffered disabling injuries.
Both figures have trended upward. In 1997, Durham had 76 pedestrian-motor vehicle crashes and 27 involving bicycles; in 2012 there were 149 and 48. Most took place in zones with speed limits of 30 or 35 miles per hour, and in very few cases was the motorist intoxicated.

The UN human rights agency has welcomed a court decision to suspend a ban in one French resort
The United Nations says bans on burkinis in parts of France are "stimulating polarisation" between communities.
Around 30 French towns have outlawed the full-length beachwear.
Last week, France's highest administrative court suspended the ban that had been in effect in the resort of Villeneuve-Loubet.
The ruling is only temporary, and will give the court enough time to prepare a longer judgement.
The appeal was brought by the Human Rights League and a group campaigning against Islamophobia.
Several prominent French politicians have come out in support of the bans, including prime minister Manuel Valls and presidential candidate Nicolas Sarkozy.
Rupert Colville, spokesperson for the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), says his office welcomes the court decision.
He said the rule is a "grave and illegal breach of fundamental freedoms", and noted that the agency is calling for all other burkini bans to be repealed.
In a statement, he explained: "These decrees do not improve the security situation but rather fuel religious intolerance and the stigmatization of Muslims in France, especially women. By stimulating polarisation between communities, these clothing bans have only succeeded in increasing tensions and as a result may actually undermine the effort to fight and prevent violent extremism, which depends on cooperation and mutual respect between communities.
"Dress codes such as the anti-burkini decrees disproportionately affect women and girls, undermining their autonomy by denying them the ability to make independent decisions about how to dress, and clearly discriminate against them."
The statement adds that the manner in which the bans have been implemented in some resorts "has been humiliating and degrading".

Considering District and School Factors and Their Relationship to ACT Performance in North Carolina: An Examination of the ACT Pilot Results
Fayetteville State University, USA
Received 6 November 2013; Accepted 18 January 2014; Published 4 March 2014

Since 2001 several states have adopted the requirement that high school students either take the SAT or ACT to assess high school programs or assist students in accessing post-secondary-educational opportunities. In 2012 the state of North Carolina adopted a new accountability program that included the ACT as a measure of college readiness. Previous research on the relationship between school districts and school level performance found that district size had a role in school achievement. This study looked at how district factors influenced the ACT performance of students across North Carolina in an effort to better understand if there were district factors other than size that may be influencing student performance and how high school reforms, given the influence of district factors is meeting the goal of increasing student college readiness. The results of this study are as follows. (1) District factors are related to school level performance, where student race and parental education levels were found to be significant predictors of achievement, (2) the traditional school level factors of race and student socioeconomic status did significantly predict ACT scores, and (3) as a high school reform model, students attending early college high schools did score higher on the ACT as compared to traditional high schools.

By Noel T. Braymer
Since the California High Speed Rail Project kicked off with the passage of Proposition 1A with almost $10 Billion dollars in bond money in November 2008, much has changed. Between 2009 and 2012 the planning was often needlessly expensive with few connections to other rail services. Since the major overhaul of the High Speed Rail Project's Business Plan in 2012, the planning has increasingly become more realistic. The California High Speed Rail Authority(CHSRA) is learning to use existing facilities and Rights of Way as much as possible. That includes sharing improved tracks in urban areas where it was never an option to go faster than 125 miles per hour between San Jose and San Francisco as well as between Burbank, Los Angeles Union Station and Anaheim. We are also seeing planning for better connections with California High Speed Rail to regional rail services such as the San Joaquin trains, Capitol Corridor, Altamont Corridor Express, Caltrain, BART, Pacific Surfliner and Metrolink.
The current planning for the Initial Operating Segment (IOS) is for service at least between San Jose and Wasco which is just over 200 miles of track. Including plans to create a branch to Merced adds another 30 miles or so. This is basically what the California High Speed Rail Authority can afford right now with about $21 Billion dollars it will have available over the next 8 years or so. What the CHSRA wants to do with the IOS is build and run service from San Francisco to Bakersfield. This would add almost another 80 miles of route to the IOS. To extend service to Bakersfield and San Francisco will require in the estimation of the CHSRA another $2.9 Billion dollars. These extensions will also add many more riders and increase revenues for the IOS. The better the performance of the IOS, the sooner the CHSRA will be able to to raise additional funding from both public and private sources to expand High Speed Rail south of Bakersfield to Anaheim and then to the Inland Empire, San Diego and Sacramento as part of their ultimate plan.
In the final draft of the 2016 Business Plan now awaiting approval by the Legislature is service to Merced. This will for now be a stub service to San Jose without connections to Fresno or Wasco. Between Fresno and Merced an additional High Speed Rail station will be built in Madera at the current Amtrak Station for the San Joaquins. This will allow transfers between High Speed Rail and the San Joaquins for passengers going to and from Merced via Fresno as well as to Modesto, Stockton, Martinez or Oakland. As part of the plan additional San Joaquin trains will be run by the time the IOS is running in 2025 including additional service to Sacramento. There are also plans to run the San Joaquin trains faster in the near future. Some of these improvements will be paid in part by the CHSRA. There are also plans to extend the Altamont Corridor Express trains or ACE to Modesto and Merced. Most of the transfers on ACE with High Speed Rail are expected at San Jose to the East Bay and Northern San Joaquin Valley. With these improved connections on High Speed Rail to the Northern San Joaquin Valley and Sacramento Metro area will add about 3.5 million Californians to the HSR travel market.
Running HSR trains to San Francisco and Bakersfield will also add millions of Californians with direct service to high speed rail. The problem is finding another $2.9 billion dollars in the next couple of years to build it by 2025. The CHSRA makes the point that the planning for this project has always been for it to be funded by a third each with State, private and Federal funding. The CHSRA points out that recently the Federal Government promised to pay half the cost of Amtrak's $24 billion dollar Gateway Project between New York and New Jersey. The other half will be loaned at a low interest rate to the States of New York and New Jersey to be paid latter. What makes Federal Government loans attractive in Washington is they are not part of the Federal Budget and not included in the budget deficit. Federal Loans are easier to get than passing legislation with an appropriation. The fact is it is often cheaper to borrow and build now, than to wait to build while inflation drive costs up.
If New York and New Jersey can get loans of roughly $6 billion dollars a piece, what about California? California has a better credit rating than either New York or New Jersey. How would such a loan be paid off? That could come from future Cap and Trade revenue or from HSR service revenue after the trains are running. Or the legislature could add it to the budget. That might depend on the outcome of the 2016 elections. In a presidential election with high voter turnout, this often works in the favor of the Democrats. If this returns the super majority to the Democrats next year, it will be easier for Governor Brown to get more money for High Speed Rail. Of course other countries can lend California money for High Speed Rail too. Most major countries have some form of Import/Export Bank to create business for their country. There is no shortage of countries interested in getting contracts with the California High Speed Rail project. This money could be used to buy rolling stock, electrification, signalling or anything which will create jobs in the lender's country.
The San Joaquin Valley is experiencing the impact from construction now underway for High Speed Rail and the spending for it. The last thing that many people in the San Joaquin Valley want to see now is for work to stop and be left with abandoned unfinished construction sites. The potential of passengers being able to get to San Jose in about an hour from either Merced or Fresno has many local business leaders excited at the prospect of becoming bedroom communities for the Silicon Valley. It is critical to increase support for High Speed Rail construction by creating connections to it as quickly as possible to every corner of the State. This can mean good connections to the IOS with other expanded rail services and express connecting buses to High Speed Rail and with other rail passenger services. The more places in California that people will be able to connect to High Speed Rail from the start, the more popular support there will be for it. Most voters support services that they expect to use and oppose those they don't expect to use.
This is why connecting the San Joaquin trains to High Speed Rail is so important at Madera to the northern San Joaquin Valley and Sacramento. The same is true of connections at San Jose to Caltrain, Capitol Corridor, ACE and BART. Good bus connections to the rest of Northern California from Sacramento connecting to High Speed Rail via the San Joaquin trains is important. Also bus connections from day one from Southern California train stations to the IOS is critical to ridership and political support of High Speed Rail. Having service to downtown San Francisco on the IOS from day one will greatly improve ridership for the IOS. High Speed Rail, or any transportation service is not about serving just point A to point B. It is about creating a large network of services to feed multiple travel markets and increase operating profits.

Let Me Think
You ask me about that country whose details now escape me,
I don't remember its geography, nothing of its history.
And should I visit it in memory,
It would be as I would a past lover,
After years, for a night, no longer restless with passion,
With no fear of regret.
I have reached that age when one visits the heart merely as a courtesy.

Breathing is an elegant access point to Alignment.
Close your eyes, close your ears, and take a slow breath and ;) do it again and again.....it works perfect!!
But sometimes someone must remind you!!
Breathing: such a physical function and so allegorical at the same time...
breathing is life and light and love ...
trouble breathing like in pneumonia you ember your own fragility...breathing is you
When I pay attention to my breathing I pay attention to myself, get to know my strengths and limitations. It makes me feel much better.
Every breath makes the connection between the world in manifestation and the one beyond manifestation.
Every breath brings us life. So take a moment and be aware!
Peace, stillness, mindfulness.... BIG Smile
Take a deep breath in – this moment is free, clear and ever-open.
You take over 20 000 breaths daily, how many are you present to?
Probably pretty few, as breathing is a totally automated process.
We might be aware of it when exercising, meditating, being stressed out, focusing on something, during childbirth, swimming under water, or when kissing with a stuffy nose.
When I was awake in the middle of night, noticing how relaxed I am – I breathe consciously, and it feels good.
I believe that conscious breathing is a divine key,
a local point of access to our natural state of awareness.
I breathe with my belly, usually both in and out through the nose. I let the rate flow naturally, and use focusing on my breath as a "reset button" when negative thoughts enter my field.
Some days I am in tune with my breathing, other days I totally forget.
Before going to bed tonight, I will look out on the stars, have a glass of wine,
and listen to Abraham-Hicks; Getting into the Vortex, a guided meditation.
Cheers my friends, I appreciate you all being here.
In this post I want you to share your advice on Breathing.

"could i have done something better?", the question keeps burning in my heart? my friend introduced me to a guy at church whom he's been talking about for so long. but the moment we shook hands, i was suddenly a mute girl. i don't even know his name. he's a youth leader…and a man with his own style. what i liked about him the most was his acoustic electric ebony guitar and how his fingers created beautiful sound from the instrument. there, i said it. i already took a liking to him when i barely know him or anything about him. what i knew was that he knew me beforehand too, that my friend must've told him he would introduce me to him.
this was so depressing. suddenly, i felt a sense of inadequacy. the phrase "not enough" constantly flushed over me. maybe i'm not good looking enough, thin enough or smart enough. satan took the moment of uncertainty into doubt. it made me wonder if i'm ever good enough to experience love.
but as this man shared the scripture from proverbs 3:5-6, God was reminding me that He is in control and that i belong to Him, the King of all kings…the Beauty of it all.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
i don't have to worry about whether or not he'll make a move. all i need to do is to trust God and watch His miracle. there could be nothing coming out of this meeting at all. or perhaps vice versa. but i'll wait and see because i want to be in His will.

System for Presenting the Most Optimized Interest to a User Based on an Interest Stream and Enabling Users to Follow other Users' Interest Streams
Publication Date: 2015-Jun-18
Publishing Venue
The IP.com Prior Art Database
Disclosed is a system that uses various inputs to automatically select the optimal ordering of an interest stream, or a list of relevant interests based on a number of factors, for a user.
Page 01 of 4
System for Presenting the Most Optimized Interest to a User Based on an Interest Stream and Enabling Users to Follow other Users ' Interest Streams
Systems exist to capture a list of interests relevant to a user; however, these interests are merely stored in memory. A method is needed to then determine which interests to return to the user, and in what order.
This article refers to this ordering of interests as an interest stream , and looks further into a system that is capable of optimizing this interest stream in order to keep the user engaged. Furthermore, an intelligent system is needed to not only return the optimized interest stream, but also include resources to facilitate interest within the specific subject and intrigue the user as quickly as possible.
The novel contribution is a system that uses various inputs to select the optimal ordering of an interest stream. These inputs include, but are not limited to:
Context of when the interest was documented
User's interest database and relationship to current interest
Current emotions of the user
Level of emotion displayed when the interest was first documented
Previous interactions with similar interests and similar environmental stimuli
In conjunction with these inputs, the system applies predictive analytics, natural language processing (NLP), and correlation analysis to help determine an overall score for the particular interest in the interest database. The system continues by providing resources to help the user further explore Interest2. The system leverages analytic capabilities, predictive modeling, and web crawlers to provide a list of resources to the user. For instance, a queue such as Interest2:= [Resource1, Resource2, Resource3] is generated because it is relevant for the user based on the user's current emotional state.
When users further explore the interest context, the system only utilizes the associated user profile information. In addition, overlap of interests between User-A and User-B, who have similar profile databases, prompts similar items in each person's associated interest stream. For example, User-A is interested in Brand-X speakers and Brand-Y speakers. User-B's stream includes Brand-A speakers and A/V receivers. Thus, the system includes A/V receivers in User-A's stream and includes Brand-Y speakers in User-B's stream, assuming that User-A and User-B are like-minded individuals.
This is in direct contrast to the recommended items function available to a user while shopping online, which offers alternate and additional products in the same product category. The novel system uses similar functionality, but different product categories, which enables users to leverage products that fill the same need, but exist in a different product classification. Therefore,interest experience is not the same as shopping experience.
The novel system focuses on solving the underlying interest of learning about specific

This was the discussion starter:
i wondered...is science wrong???or is god wrong???i believe in god, but what i'm wondering, is that how come that science is more believable than god? whats the difference? (have pity i'm 14 years old) science was created by mankind... so how come mankind isn't wrong?we've been wrong before... tons of times hell we may even be wrong about everything...haha just realized science made computers...but still... we think the big bang made everything, and it did...it also made godBTW!!! god didn't make mankind... if you've been to church you'd realize that.one last thing before people start telling me i'm wrong with huge explantations and what not. the bible was written, science was also written, or learned, or w/eguess who wrote/taught both?mankind
From that a huge argument broke out about evolution vs. creation. Some of these people have done a LOT of homework on this subject and argue very well...both ways...by the end I was frustrated so here is what I wrote:
I think the issue here is not to prove who is right and who is wrong. When it comes to the beginning of the world (something that happened at least thousands of years ago), it is not possible to have hard evidence. I would agree with Cameron, that there are some significant things left unproven in the theory of evolution leaving some serious holes...that is why it is called a theory, it is based on some facts that have been tested in some ways, but it still takes faith to put your trust in that theory because some things don't seem to add up. I would agree with Arash in that it is also obvious that there are some things that are unproven in the creation story...it takes faith to put your trust in a God creating the earth. I don't think either is provable, so to a certain degree this argument is pointless, except to show that neither can be proven.I would suggest that Christians should concentrate more on the evidence that God is real in their own lives. If God is real in my life, according to the Bible, he should make a difference in the way I live my life and in how much I care for
people...I think there is plenty of evidence for that...the sad reality is that there is plenty of evidence to the contrary as well. I would suggest that Christians (of which I am one) should concentrate more on the evidence that can actually be seen...in the way I love and care for God's greatest creation, his people.
What do you think?

Hola from Espana!
This is going to be a short email, I do not have much time. I just have enough time to say hi and that I love you, and I am safe. I am in Madrid can you believe it? Jetlag is fun, I am 8 hours ahead and I feel like a should be sleeping right now but it is so great! I feel so blessed becuase I was so nervous to say goodbye to family and leave so much behind. It can still be hard, but I have felt so comforted. It is amazing!n Ever since I walked into the MTC I have felt at peace. Wade, YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE IT! Even though I was only there for one night, and everyone was looking at us funny becuase we arrive on a day that wasn´t normal and even though we didn´t have nametags, there is such a spirit there, and you will meet some incredible people. I am so excited for you! My night at Provo was interesting, I´m sure your wexperience will be MUY MUY diferente. Haha. We felt like no on eknew we were there, and we didn´t have a schedule just because it was so last minute. But the spirit was so strong, and the people are so kind and welcoming! I can just picture you there and I love it! I was sad to leave Provo! So we met with the Spain consulat and he gave us our visas and told us about Spain! We were able to walk around, eat and go to bed becuase we ahd to wake up early. June 11 I woke up at 5 am and our journey began. It was an adventure of packing up and getting on a bus, then the frontrunner, then the trax system, and to teh airport where we waited for a couple of hours, flew to new york, and then to Madrid! all of my days are mushed together and I am just glad I know which way is up right now. Haha.
Holy cow Wade. I love what you said about me seeming confident and you felt like I was ready to go at that point at security. That is the point in the airport that I felt a strength that was not my own. I felt at peace and ready to go, with confidence that the Lord would give me more strength once I could take that leap of faith! Thank you for telling me that!
The flights were long and I didn´t even feel nervous on them! What a tender mercy. Also, on the way to Spain, I sat next to a guy that didn´t speak English very well and we spoke in spanglish for 2 horas. Haha! We was asking about religion and telling me his opinion and I wanted to badly to share my testimony so badly, but I am not sure hwo it came out. I can´t wait to speak clearly. Speaking of sharing the gospel, we will already be going proselyting on Saturday in the park! I love it here! It is so personable and very small. The mission president has a voice like president Monson. If I close my eyes I feel like I am in general conference. I love it.
I did see Elder Stolk and a few other friends, but Elder Stolk is no longer at the MTC, he is in the field!
Wade, I wish I had more time, but I am so excited to hear about your setting apart and everything! My love for the family grows while I am away and I know they will be blessed for our service.
I loved reading your notes in my transfer journal, thank you for the kind words of encouragement. I really wish I had more time right now to tell you how much it meant to me and write notes to each of you personally :) I will try, but if not today, my Preparation Day is every thursday so I can next thursday. Which means this is the last time I will send an email to Wade before he is a missionary! I can´t wait to hear about the setting apart, and the MTC. I love you all so much! there are more pictures and stories to come next week! I wish I could tell you more, but just know that I appreciate all of the sacrifices that you have made and I love you so much. I look forward to hearing from you next Thursday!
I Love you!!!!!
Hermana Mather
p.s. My companion, Hermana Heims and I are so similar, I love her! And we were just called as Sister Training Leaders today!
p.p.s. sorry the grammar si bad, these keyboards are weird!
p.p.p.s. WWWWOOOOOWWW
