A tremendous and timely A2A today with Steve St. Angelo, better known as SRSrocco. As an independent energy, metals and mining analyst, Steve brought a lot of wisdom and knowledge to the call. Please be sure to give it a listen.
Over the course of this 58-minute presentation, Steve addresses a number of topics, including:
- The concept of "Energy Returned on Invested" and why it is so important
- The surging US silver import data http://srsroccoreport.com/major-buyers-continue-to-stockpile-silver-as-u-s-imports-surge-in-april/major-buyers-continue-to-stockpile-silver-as-u-s-imports-surge-in-april/
- The growing US gold export deficit http://srsroccoreport.com/how-large-was-the-u-s-gold-market-deficit-in-q1-2015/how-large-was-the-u-s-gold-market-deficit-in-q1-2015/
- How investment demand is a key fundamental driver for both metals going forward
- A whole lot more
In the end, I felt like this had been a really good call and an excellent use of time. Please give a listen. I'm confident you'll feel the same.
Steve St. Angelo
Independent researcher Steve St. Angelo (SRSrocco) started to invest in precious metals in 2002. Later on in 2008, he began researching areas of the gold and silver market that, curiously, the majority of the precious metal analyst community have left unexplored. These areas include how energy and the falling EROI – Energy Returned On Invested – stand to impact the mining industry, precious metals, paper assets, and the overall economy. Steve considers studying the impacts of EROI one of the most important aspects of his energy research. For the past several years, he has written scholarly articles in some of the top precious metals and financial websites. You can find many of Steve's articles on noteworthy sites, such as GoldSeek-SilverSeek, Market Oracle, Financial Sense, GoldSilver.com, SilverDoctors, TFMetals Report, Outsiderclub, SGTreport, BrotherJohnF, Hartgeld, Der-klare-blick, PeakProsperity, SilverStrategies, DollarCollapse, FurtureMoneyTrends, Sharpspixley, FinancialSurvialNetwork, Pmbull, Deviantinvestor, PmBug, Wealthwire, and ZeroHedge.

Superb Interview
One of the best I've heard on here since becoming a subscriber to TFMR. I have been feeling really down about holding the miners off late but that interview has got me all fired up again. I don't doubt the knowledge of other commentators such as Willie , Hoffman, McGuire et al but understanding the level of analysis SRS undertakes specifically for the Silver market in much the same way way Koos does for Gold is extremely reassuring. Sometimes I have a tendency to focus on the geopolitical situation as its off great interest to me a little too much which following the Greek Bailout has culminated in a great degree of persimmon. I've specifically structured my portfolio to contain a heavy weighting of primary silver producers based on previous SRS commentaries I've heard and it's nice to be reminded why.
Might even pick up some silver phizzy today despite the VAT!
China gold holdings updated
Re: China gold holdings updated
What's the point in China announcing there Gold Reserves to a level which will cause a spike the PM price when they can buy it at these low prices...likely they have a role in the current smash down in prices.
Question is how long will it take for China to revise this figure again?
Re: China
They'll probably update periodically prior to the IMF meeting at which it'll be decided whether or not to include them in the SDR.
They don't want to create waves, so small, quiet noted increases plays to the Chinese norm.
Regarding the insane OI. I believe there is something far more significant going on with this.
JP Morgan is short, citi is long. A reset would save citigroup (a co-fed member bank) and Morgan is long physical to offset the derivatives short.
This is the banks showing their cards as the game has just ended.
I believe a reset is imminent.
All of this happens to coincide the same year China announces increased holdings for the first time in 6 years?
Things that make you go, "Hmmmm?"
I'm gonna puke
So I open up Yahoo Finance this morning to check the markets and here's the lead story. It's the picture that makes me want to vomit
Citi long JPM short
I had it figured the other way around. Citi has been a heaping pile of shit for so long. I figured JPM was sticking Citi with the shorts, so that they would be bailed out (again) in the future. Morgan would profit both on their paper and their physical. That would be maximum profit extraction.
I think your theory is just as valid though. If this is the big one, then the main goal could be survival and not just profit.
Nice smack down to start the morning
Beat me to it Chuck
Just beginning to wonder if paper will indeed go to zero.
Bring it on I say.
BTW Steven - Your one fine looking Horse!
What's the bet that
China up their gold reserves by 600 tonnes in August too?
And September, October, etc...
Sometimes you have to go through hell, to get to heaven. Nothing represents that better than a precious metals buyer/stacker/investor!
Retail silver prices are actually going up
I've been watching prices on comparesilverprices.com for the last few weeks. Each day, retail prices continue to creep up, even with today's smash. Premiums are now 24% minimum on ASEs and if you buy on ebay you're going to pay almost a 50% premium
fake silver chart dropping.. what to watch for
2 things . . .
- public phyzz demand increase
- retailer tightening (premiums/availability)
threshold reaction (#SCDDIT) last seen in mid 14s (about 10 days ago? ...don't feel like looking it up)
too far below threshold and chart loses phyzz price control relevancy (dies)
all hidden in plain sight
"system is real" worldview crowd o b l i v i o u s
China's gold reserves
Not that I believe tht official announcement, but am I the only on who see's this?
Almost 4 trillion in foreign exchange reserves
57% increase in 1 month, June 2015(ZH say's not possible, but what if that's the reason for the increase in derivatives by JPM and C)
Admission that gold is extremely important strategically.
Just speculating, but how can this not be bullish for the support of bullion?
One of Cliff High's comments in his latest ALTA report
was a bifurcation of the silver price between physical and Paper increasing.
Bottom Line, suppliers / middle-men start refusing to sell at spot.
If you owned the silver, would you sell at spot when the price is declining, the demand is increasing and supply was questionable?
rdwong re: gold question
Just speculating, but how can this not be bullish for the support of bullion?
If by bullish support you mean higher chart prices... it's because, in the far away land of reality, there is no connection between the pm charts and all the silly stories and reports you read in the media.
No, not talking about chart prices, but just how bullish those figures are for long term fundamental support for Bullion price in general. I completely understand the BS going on in the paper market, but if China hasn't already accumulated, the paper game is over with that kind of firepower.
From the comments lately, more market participants are giving up on the metals.
This mornings drop could initiate a true capitulative phase.
Rationalize your capitulation here....
How can you have capitulation when nobody is bullish?
Except for, India, China, Russia, Turkey, Singapore etc.......
just waking up here, still haven't had breakfast, but...
No, not talking about chart prices, but just how bullish those figures are for long term fundamental support for Bullion price in general.
aren't chart prices and bullion prices the same thing?
I completely understand the BS going on in the paper market, but if China hasn't already accumulated, the paper game is over with that kind of firepower.
my point, with which you might not agree, is that THERE IS NO PAPER MARKET. China/PBOC Accumulation, Cartels, Squeezes, Manipulation, CoT Reports etc etc. is all a bunch of nonsense spewed out to make the chart prices appear to be the results of "markets" and "trading". ...they are not.
2 eggs and toast, here i come!
China's gold holding
The big figure we were lead to expect has not materialised and prices drop. We are running out of catalysts!
I tried to warn you guys...
This has so far played out exactly how I predicted (Euro collapse surges USD and kills Gold). We will not see total capitulation until we've gotten into the 900s and retraced 50% from the top. I've sat here for 10months saying this and have advocated physical cash and my plan remains unchanged. Everything will be on sale this fall and the dollar will top - that will be the time to buy everything you can at fire sale prices, gold or otherwise.
Until then accept that the bottom is close in terms of time. We've waited through years of this shit only a few more months now before the wave flips back.
Another Time on Capitulation
I've posted at least 10 times on capitulation over the last few months/years.
I've never had anyone debate me on my thoughts.
If you disagree with my assessment then please show me the error of my ways. I'll try this again.
Capitulation is an event when investors throw up their hands in an emotional "get me out no matter what!" moment and hit any bid they can find in a normal market. This results in the last of the week hands selling what is then undervalued to stronger hands and due to limited supply the price of whatever security begins to rise marking a long term bottom.
IN THE METALS "MARKET", capitulation is a unicorn. Supply and Demand have NOTHING to do with this paper price. When the paper markets have been rejected utterly then we will see the true prices for Au and Ag. It can be argued that supply/demand are not the primary drivers of high stock-to-flow elements, but that's aside from my main point: because actual Au and Ag are the tiny equity positions in a 112+ to 1 paper to equity fractional reserve gold and silver "market" any selling by weak hands (like in the paragraph above) has the opposite effect vs a normal capitulation event. So let's say this is a capitulation moment, is that going to end the paper alchemy? Nope, because the manipulative monkeys will gladly scoop of any Au and Ag offered by weak hands to then lever 112 times over in paper form.
So last time I'll post this, capitulation in paper metal markets extends, not ends, the game.
If I'm wrong, show me. If I'm right then can we look for something else besides "capitulation" every time paper gold gets dumped?
The Chart Owners
The chart owners are having a field day with the charts this morning of the China announcement. I would have never guessed China would release this low of number, whether it is true or not does not matter to the charts right now. All of the speculation the past years is that the number should have been much higher so I can only see this announcement as a means to push price lower so they can buy more. WTF, personally I think the numbers are bogus but what do I know.
In an interview a while back Jim Willie was discussing the use of gold as a trade settlement and that they would acquire gold for their trading partners at a good price. Perhaps this could this be what is going on, and if it is, how long will that take? Not a good day for PM believers.
This may very well create the washout bottom Rick Rule has talked about where a good number of people will finally throw in the towel. I'm a contrarian to a fault so I gotta see how this plays out. This bottoming process just got much uglier.
I wanted to thank Turd for the interview and I appreciate the comments by the members. I no longer care about the paper price of gold and silver. While I imagine precious metals investors are becoming increasingly frustrated about these lower prices.... there really aren't better STORES OF WEALTH to hold onto than gold and silver.
The Fed & Central Banks are throwing everything into the POT to keep the system from imploding. However, this is not a long term viable solution. As I mentioned in the interview, U.S. Shale oil production peaked in March, 2015:
EIA August Forecasts for Top 2 Shale Fields
BAKKEN March 2015 = 1.33 mbd
BAKKEN August 2015 = 1.18 mbd
EAGLE FORD March 2015 = 1.73 mbd
EAGLE FORD August 2015 = 1.53 mbd
By 2020, U.S. oil production will likely be down 33+%, and by 2025, 60-80%. The Fed will no longer be able to prop up the system with paper by 2020.
WTF Eric?
Eric King: what happened to your KWN predictions?
is it 10,000 T or is it 30,000 T or is it 50,000 T
Many bet their precious farms on ya dude.............
If you bet the farm
On Eric King, you are a fucking idiot.
I agree. Capitulation doesn't matter. What us little guys think-- hugely bearish or hugely bullish-- does not matter since we don't drive the market, the manipulators do.
Holy S**T
Hui 130.
Oh my goodness. No amount of alcohol or drugs on Earth can alleviate this pain.
Holy Lord.
Thank goodness for JDST or I'd have a noose around my neck.
@horse and pforth
Nice new pic Horse!
@pforth it's not that we are little fish (though we are), it's that if I sell an ounce of Au right now it impacts the market by giving the monkeys 112 "ounces" of paper "gold" to throw right back in a sell order after buying my 1 real ounce. So my selling has the opposite effect vs a normal market. My selling would prolong, not shorten, the manipulation.
The manipulations end when there are no more real ounces to sell, only paper.
Gamble gamble
that's 5 years of pain!

Sparks, insults fly as Mayweather, McGregor face off for first time
A day before they're set to take the stage in Toronto, Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor squared off across from one another for the first time.
As far as a preview of what Toronto fight fans should expect, well … not much more than a whole lot of trash talk and two very rich men bragging about how much money they've earned.
McGregor, the UFC lightweight champion, and boxing great Mayweather were in Los Angeles Tuesday afternoon for the kickoff of their international press tour — it stops off in Toronto for a Wednesday evening event at the Budweiser Stage at 5:30 p.m. — and delivered an at-times awkward, at-times intense back-and-forth.
After a couple speeches from executives who helped bring the fight together, McGregor took the microphone and mocked Mayweather's supposed financial troubles.
"He's in a f—ing track suit," the Irishman said. "He can't even afford a suit anymore."
There was nothing particularly notable about the exchanges between the fighters.
McGregor said he'd knock the 40-year-old Mayweather out in four rounds.
Mayweather called McGregor a quitter.
Despite all the pageantry surrounding the Aug. 26 fight at Las Vegas' T-Mobile Arena, Tuesday's press kick-off delivered few surprises.
But Mayweather and McGregor are two of the more aggressive trash-talkers in the fight game, and once they got on stage, they each delivered their fair share of one-liners.
Going forward, the promoters would be wise to get the behind-the-scene executives out of the way and ensure that both men have working microphones that allow for more of a verbal back-and-forth.
Next stop, Toronto.

Doctors treat chronic osteomyelitis with surgery, antibiotics and, in some cases, with casts or splints, notes the University of Maryland Medical Center. Doctors prescribe specific drugs and perform different surgeries based on the underlying cause of the bone infection.
Chronic osteomyelitis is a bone infection that lasts for longer than a few months, states the University of Maryland Medical Center. Bacterial or fungal infections can cause osteomyelitis, and it is most commonly diagnosed in children and adults over the age of 50. Doctors conduct bone scans, blood tests, X-rays, magnetic resonance imaging and other tests to confirm a diagnosis of osteomyelitis. People suffering from chronic osteomyelitis may need to take antibiotics for years and in some cases for the rest of their lives. Doctors may also prescribe anti-inflammatory medications to help patients deal with pain.
Doctors perform several types of surgeries to treat chronic osteomyelitis, including draining pus and fluid around the infected bones, states the University of Maryland Medical Center. Doctors may also perform surgery to treat chronic osteomyelitis by removing bone and tissue or removing objects such as screws or pins that were put in place during a previous surgery that may be the cause of the infection. Doctors also perform bone or muscle grafts to restore circulation to the bones of those suffering from chronic osteomyelitis.

Boston Marathon 2014: Married bomb victims cross finish line year after both losing a leg
A LOVING couple who both lost their left legs in last year's Boston Bombings finished the 2014 Boston Marathon hand-in-hand in their handcycles.
Jessica Kensky, and her husband, Patrick Downes, wheeled over the line together in a day that meant so much for the two of them.
Finishing with a time of 2:14:13, Jessica was fast enough to win the women's category - out of the small field of just two.
While Patrick finished in 17th place but that didn't seem to affect the happy husband.
Talking to the Boston Globe, he said the two have been through so much and that they helped one another their recovery so much.
He said: "We've been married a year and a half.
"But it's like we have the knowledge of a couple that's been married 10 years."
"It's like we have the knowledge of a couple that's been married 10 years."Patrick Downes
Patrick and Jessica had been standing close to the finish line on April 15 last year when two bombs went off within seconds of one another.
The two pressure cooker bombs killed three people and 264 people were injured.
Newlyweds, Patrick and Jessica, both lost their legs and were faced with the huge challenge of working through each day at a time to adapt to their new lives.
One year on and the two proved just how far they had come.
Hand-in-hand the proud couple came together to share a moment they will never forget.
A spokesman for Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital said the couple ''wanted to make sure they finished together.''
Last week, Patrick addressed the crowds at a Boston Red Sox baseball game, saying: "We chose to love and that has made all the difference.
"Peace. That will be their lasting message to us."
The two competitors were joined by 36,000 others on the route around the city with as many as 500,000 supporters on the sidelines.
"Boston Strong" T-shirts were worn by thousands as runners paid their respects to those affected by the bombs in a minutes silence.
US runner Meb Keflezighi and Rita Jeptoo from Kenya won the men's and women's races.
Keflezighi became the first US runner to take the title since 1985.
Bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 20, is due to stand trial in November. He has pleaded not guilty to 30 charges, including 17 that carry the death penalty.

1887 N690-1 Kalamazoo Bats Philadelphia BBC Team Cabinet with Harry Wright
Starting Bid - $2,500, Sold For - $15,275
Presented is an extraordinary example of one of the rarest and greatest prizes of all nineteenth-century card collecting: an 1887 N690-1 Kalamazoo Bats team cabinet card of the Philadelphia Nationals, featuring the "Grand Old Man" of the game, the legendary Harry Wright, surrounded by twelve Philadelphia players. We can count on one hand the number of Kalamazoo Bats team cabinet cards we have seen over the past forty years! They are virtually nonexistent! This is the first and only Kalamazoo Bats team cabinet-card example we have ever offered, and the first and only Philadelphia Nationals example we have ever seen. With reference to Kalamazoo Bats as an issue, it is also arguably the most significant of all the teams in the set (five different are known), as it is the Philadelphia players that provide the foundation of the individual player N690 Kalamazoo Bats set; and of the Philadelphia individual player Kalamazoo Bats cards, Harry Wright is the key Hall of Famer. Kalamazoo Bats cabinet cards are known to exist in two styles: 1) with no advertising on the mount, but with a small embossed "Chas. Gross & Co." stamp on the surface of the photograph (it is possible that these are proof cards of some type), and 2) with gilt-lettered advertising that prominently reads "Smoke Kalamazoo Bats" on the mount. The style with advertising (as is the case here) is a huge version of a smaller Kalamazoo bats team card, but with a black mount, and is by far the more desirable style. Though Kalamazoo Bats are among the rarest of all nineteenth-century baseball cards, it is unknown exactly how they were issued. It is likely that they were issued by mail, perhaps in exchange for coupons, as this was the case for many other premiums available from Kalamazoo Bats and other tobacco companies in this era. Kalamazoo Bats are particularly noted for the distinctive style and quality of their images. Though the contrast on this example is a little light, it is an extremely attractive card that still provides great detail. The card has been harshly graded FAIR 20 by SGC due to having the date notation "1887" written in black ink along the bottom right of the photo. It is otherwise in Very Good to Excellent condition, with no major creases, and very little wear on the corners and edges (the corners are naturally rounded as made). The blank reverse has some light soiling and foxing. This is an extraordinary Kalamazoo Bats team-card example and one of the nineteenth century's rarest tobacco advertising cards. Reserve $2,500. Estimate $5,000++. SOLD FOR $15,275

Review: A Single Sky
by Jeff Foust
|Notably, it was not conventional optical astronomers leading the way in radio astronomy so much as physicists who had worked on radar technologies during the war and were now seeking new applications for their work.
Such cooperation, though, is hardly novel in the field of radio astronomy. (ALMA, technically speaking, operates at slightly shorter wavelengths than what is normally considered radio astronomy, but shares many other attributes with it.) Since the field's origins in the mid 20th century, astronomers around the world worked closely together to develop radio telescopes and share scientific and technical insights, historian David P.D. Munns notes in his recent book A Single Sky. This cooperation across borders helped create a community, and ultimately, a new scientific discipline.
While Karl Jansky made the first radio observations of the sky in the early 1930s, detecting by accident radio emissions from the Milky Way, the field of radio astronomy didn't start in earnest until after the end of World War II. Notably, it was not conventional optical astronomers leading the way so much as physicists who had worked on radar technologies during the war and were now seeking new applications for their work. In many cases, astronomy was not their first choice: in Australia, for example, physicists initially planned to work on linear accelerators, only to withdraw when they found they would not be able to keep up with the massive investments Americans were making in the field.
Radio astronomy, on the other hand, was new enough that modest investments could make real progress. Radio astronomy did not have the sensitivities of nuclear research, making international cooperation more feasible. The field also developed at a time when astronomy in general was struggling to attract students and retain researchers given the increased demand, and money, in competing fields like nuclear physics and electronics. While some astronomers treated the new field of radio astronomy skeptically—Australian astronomer Richard Woolley, asked in the late 1940s where radio astronomy would be in ten years, replied, "It will be forgotten"—other embraced it, welcoming the physicists into their fold. Nomenclature demonstrates this: by the 1950s, "radio physics" had become "radio astronomy," with the antennas it used called "telescopes" and located at "observatories," like their optical counterparts, even though many early practitioners of radio astronomy had little experience or even formal training in astronomy.
Munns argues in A Single Sky that radio astronomy was an exception to the competitive nature of most other realms of science. "The radio astronomers understood science as an open, inclusive, international, interdisciplinary process, and their community succeeded because of cooperation," he writes. Throughout the book, he cites such examples of cooperation among American, Australian, British, and Dutch pioneers, ranging from the exchange of scientific and technical data to frequent visits by astronomers to one another's facilities.
Yet, even Munns acknowledges that early radio astronomy was not an entirely "edenic open community." Competition played a role as well, both across national boundaries and within nations. Plans for a radio telescope at England's Jodrell Bank were supported in part on the giant dish being "a symbol of national leadership" in an emerging field, one that could be more capable than the optical telescopes dominated by the US. Within Britain there was competition as well: Bernard Lovell, who led the development of the Jodrell Bank observatory, sparred with Cambridge's Martin Ryle, who eschewed giant parabolic antennas in favor of linear arrays of antennas. "The giant parabola offended the Cavendish tradition through waste, extravagance, and inefficiency," Munns writes.
|"The radio astronomers understood science as an open, inclusive, international, interdisciplinary process, and their community succeeded because of cooperation," Munn writes.
One question unanswered by the book is just how different this spirit of cooperation in radio astronomy is from other branches of astronomy or other sciences, for that matter. Munns plays up the various exchanges of information among early radio astronomers, from the sharing of data to helping find postdoc positions for students completing their doctorates. Yet, such collaboration does not seem foreign to astronomy today, where researchers frequently work together (and, of course, sometimes compete against one another.) Did early radio astronomy's cooperative spirit infect astronomy as a whole, or did it already exist?
For those looking for a history of the science of radio astronomy, A Single Sky is not the best choice: Munns doesn't delve into the science beyond what's needed to explain the early developments of this field. Instead, this book is a history of the development of radio astronomy as a scientific discipline, one that involved collaboration, particularly on international scales, far more than competition. While the unique role of cooperation in radio astronomy might be overplayed a bit in the book, it's clear that collaboration is here to stay, as the desires of astronomers for bigger and better telescopes, like ALMA, reach scales beyond the ability or willingness of a single institution, or even a single nation, to support them.

The days of dioramas and book reports may be long gone. (Is it wrong that I'm a little sad about that?) Yet the expectation that students read and express their understanding of what they've read remains as strong as ever.
So what's a teacher to do? More specifically, what's a creative teacher to do, when she doesn't want to rely on worksheets? Get creative, of course!
I've compiled 9 Fun Book Projects for you. They're quick and easy to prepare, and best of all, they're engaging – for both your students and you. No more slogging through piles of "Why I Liked This Book!"
Take a look:
Write a different ending -- What if the main character didn't make it in the end? Or the dogs had lived? Or the culprit was the best friend? Your students' imaginations can really wander with this assignment. Maybe their alternate ending will be even better than the original! Offer to let students draw their new ending as a bonus.
Give a book talk --- Book talks are a wonderful way for students to demonstrate their understanding of books that they have read while practicing their writing and speaking skills. They're a great book project because they combine so many skills...and students love listening to one another. Oh, and the added bonus is that students can learn about books that they're interested in reading as they listen to the book talks.
If you'd like to give them a try, then check out this FREE BOOK TALK GUIDE. It includes an overview of book talks, pre-write, final copy, and tips and tricks for presenting a book talk. Find it HERE.

Write a sequel -- If you have the time, your students may want to extend their alternative endings into a whole second book (or at least a few pages or a chapter). After all, who hasn't reached the end of a great read and wished for more? This will be a challenge, as students will have to build on the original plot lines and character outlines. Refer them to some famous book series for inspiration.
Write a letter to the author -- Take a page from Beverly Cleary's classic Dear Mr. Henshaw and have students write a thoughtful letter, with questions for the author of their current reading selection (or a favorite book). Most authors love to write (of course!) and appreciate opportunities to interact directly with their readers. Address letters (or e-mails) to the publisher, or see if the author has contact information on his or her website. It never hurts for students to practice their letter-writing and envelope-addressing skills, either – at least as long as snail mail is still around. Your students will be thrilled to get a response, too.
Great news! I've put together three stationary templates that students can use when drafting their letters. They're a special FREEBIE just for you! Click here to check them out...and download them for free!

Choose a response --- Here's an idea that students love...give them choices! It's amazing how giving students the ability to select the response or project that they would like to complete instantly increases their engagement. With that in mind, I created a series of "This or That" reading responses. Each This or That Reading Prompt includes instruction at the top of the worksheet and then 2 reading response choices for students to showcase their learning. After reviewing the choices, students can choose to do the "This" prompt or the "That" prompt.
You can easily turn this into a book project by having students complete 5 (or so) different prompts while reading the book and submit them all as a final project when they finish reading the book. Learn more HERE.
Set it to music -- Have your students capture a pivotal scene from the book in a song set to familiar music. It can be a ballad, a pop song, a rap – whatever speaks to them or best works with the scene. Encourage students who select this option to put on a concert. For students who are shy to perform, give them the option of recording their song privately, so you can play it without them having to get up in front of the class.
Doodle it --- This is my FAVORITE type of book project! That's because it combines reflection, thinking and DOODLING! You can instantly take book reports and book projects to a whole new level with a Doodle Book Review! First, students complete a planning guide. Then, they design a Doodle Book Review! Check it out HERE!
Create a File Folder --- I first developed this book project idea many years ago as a summer reading project. Then, I altered it slightly so that it could be completed during anytime of the school year with any book. With this project, students compile critical information from the book they read including the plot, characters, setting, and a reflection in a manila file folder. The file folder book report includes detailed instructions so that students can complete it all independently. The end result is a compact project that students love! Oh, and you can store the file folders by your classroom library for students to reference when picking out a book! Find more details HERE.
Blog about it -- If you have a classroom webpage, it can be fairly simple to create a live (and private) blog that students can use to discuss and debate the merits of their favorite books. This option might work best for students who have read the same book. Make sure you establish expectations for a civil online conversation. You can get in on the convo, too!
Focusing on nonfiction in your classroom? Try one of these book report alternatives:
Ø Create a scrapbook with images and facts about the book topic.
Ø Write interview questions for the main character (if reading a biography, for example). Extend this assignment by allowing students to dress up as the character and record their responses to the interview questions.
Ø Write a diary that one of the story's main characters might have kept before, during, or after the book's events. Make sure students emphasize what the character is thinking and feeling to give it an authentic feel.
Ø Write a news story about the main event in the book (for example, the sinking of the Titanic). This is a good opportunity to practice this very specific form of writing. You'll want to review inverted pyramid style and how to use quotes if you go this route.
Here's some links for some of the project ideas above:

The Last Waltz was a concert by the Canadian-American rock group the Band, held on American Thanksgiving Day, November 25, 1976, at Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco. The Last Waltz was advertised as the Band's "farewell concert appearance," and the concert saw the Band joined by more than a dozen special guests, including Bob Dylan, Paul Butterfield, Neil Young, Emmylou Harris, Ringo Starr, Ronnie Hawkins, Dr. John, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, Muddy Waters, Ronnie Wood, Neil Diamond, Bobby Charles, The Staple Singers, and Eric Clapton. The musical director for the concert was the Band's original record producer, John Simon.The event was filmed by director Martin Scorsese and made into a documentary of the same name, released in 1978. Jonathan Taplin, who was the Band's tour manager from 1969 to 1972 and later produced Scorsese's film Mean Streets, suggested that Scorsese would be the ideal director for the project and introduced Robbie Robertson and Scorsese. Taplin was the Executive Producer of The Last Waltz. The film features concert performances, intermittent song renditions shot on a studio soundstage, and interviews by Scorsese with members of the Band.

Universal Paste Extruder
Printing with other materials -
This particular 3D printing adventure started last August (2011) after seeing a few news reports on 3D Chocolate printing, it had always been on my list of things to try, after reading the reports and looking at the rather over marketed video of a machine doing essentially nothing… I was really frustrated that the technology didn't seem that accessible or even that revolutionary considering they described it as the "worlds first Chocolate printer"
It looked like the University of Exeter had decided not to show any videos of the printer actually doing anything to do with the printing process. – See the PR page and video Here. It does make a reasonable point about the end user specifying the custom design for themselves, much as we already see with 3D printing.
So they were giving no clues to how fast they had it running, or how long they cooled between layers etc. Just what you can see in the pictures. I decided not to go down that route of molten chambers of chocolate being pumped to a nozzle, it seemed overly complicated and limiting of what foods you could print with. It could be fine for industrial scale custom manufacture or a more adventurous Chocolate shop, but not that great for people with 3D printers to experiment with – and that was my angle.
Various paste extruders existed for RepRap, Makerbot and Fab@Home and both peristaltic pumps and moineau pumps were being experimented for paste extrusions, I looked at some of these, but went a different route.
I was quite aware that paste printing and especially Real molten Chocolate was a very difficult material to print with and I also didn't want to have to use a Air compressor or other types of valves to achieve my food printing.
I decided on two development paths, both of which I'm still working on for different reasons you will see below.
1) – The Universal Paste Extruder
Chocolate was not the only Goal, I really wanted to be able to experiment with lots of pastes, foods and especially Ceramic materials.
So I designed this mechanical paste extruder, it is designed to fit on any RepRap or most 3D printers, you only need a normal Extruder motor connection, that's all ( I know I have other wires in this Photo, that's for part 2 – the heated paste extruder)
It uses my Quick-Fit X carriage mounting, so can be swapped over in seconds, you can also fit it to a normal Greg/Prusa style X carriage and most other designs.
It's geared and uses a driven belt to press down on the Syringe. The main reason for this arrangement is to keep the height to a minimum and as the carriage goes higher the syringe goes lower so you get maximum build height.
Assembly video -
Printing with Sugar paste (Icing sugar)
Printing with melted Chocolate, Yum, Yum…
Printing with Chocolate and Muffin Mix video is shown here and also on my YouTube page in HD here
Chocolate is a tricky material, quality dark Chocolate is harder to print with than white Chocolate, I didn't try milk Chocolate yet.
Printing with Masa (Corn chips), Crunch, Crunch, Crunch…
Printing with Chocolate muffin Mix and sponge cake , spongy…
Well I did say it was what I had around the house, this was a little bonkers, but good fun.
Printing with Ceramic porcelain clay, Arty and Crafty…
I'm using porcelain clay for this experiment, slightly watered down to form the consistency of toothpaste.
And I'm thinking that it needs to be slightly thicker next time around.
Clay sticks to most things, but unless you can remove it, your part will be stuck to your print table.
If you leave a printed ceramic object on the bed it will warp as it dries and usually break up.
Do NOT be tempted to use the heated bed to dry the clay, it will ruin the print.
The best way I found to print clay objects is on a piece of aluminium foil taped down, this can be removed and the part dries slowly.
If you use anything with an absorbing surface (like paper, card or baking paper) the part will warp.
I have tried both Blue and pink nozzles (0.6mm and 0.4mm) with a 0.2mm one to try next time.
Just after I had my universal paste extruder running, a rather interesting Chocolate extruder also popped up on thingiverse, Created by ttsalo I have yet to try it as it needs warm air to keep the chocolate molten, but I'm going to try this out at some point. I can imagine a dedicated DIY Chocolate printer based around a design like this.
Some time later… I had my Ceramic parts back from being Fired -
An update for May and some pictures of my first ceramic objects that have now been fired -
I had my first Porcelain ceramic prints back from being fired a few weeks back, they turned out well considering these were my very first prints using the universal paste extruder. And I didn't really know what I was doing with Porcelain clay.
They have been both first and second fired, so are now very strong and hard, and a little smaller than when first printed.
During the two stage firing they have shrunk about 15 – 20% from the dried out size, and are now real solid little pots.
All the parts were printed with a 0.6mm nozzle, I now have 0.4 and 0.2mm nozzles working well, so much smaller and finer details should well be possible.
Many of the small features have fused together, giving a very nice and smooth finish, this bunny is partially hollow with just a small pin-prick hole in the bottom, I was expecting him to explode, but he looks fine.
None of these were glazed or altered during the firing process, next time I may try some glazes and some smaller pieces.
I'm also going to try to calculate how much they shrink for a given infill and water content next time around.
The only casualties were the Frogs, two were damaged in transit to the first firing so one didn't get fired, the other one was first fired and some of the feet fell off… it was second fired along with the rest and didn't suffer any further damage.
Even this one above was squashed on his head before firing, you can see his squashed eye so I'm not exactly sure if his feet were damaged before getting to the kiln. So I'm going to try more frogs next time.
I have a very friendly potter now with her own kiln close by, so I can get things first fired very easily, then the local college can provide the glazing and second firing process, so it's going to be lots of fun experimenting with this aspect of 3D printing.
Clay Update Aug2012 -
I'm also looking into printing with Paper-clay, many thanks to everyone that has pointed me in that direction, looks very interesting indeed. I'm still reading about it and have some more people to contact, so I'll try to do another update on that when I have done some printing with it.
I also ordered some Precious metal clay (copper) but have not yet had a chance to test it out, should work well, but has some special requirements to fire copper clay, so I'm still working on that. If it does I may even order some silver-clay (really expensive, but very nice for jewellery), that looks quite amazing when fired, again thanks for pointing me towards that.
I do have Metal clay to try and also Paperclay (very good for low warp – perfect 3D printing material)
Thanks again for all the great comments and feedback from my universal paste extruder, it's great to know people like it and are using it to make awesome things.
This development was first posted up on my Blogger blog (Universal Paste extruder – Ceramic, Food and Real Chocolate 3D Printing…) 6th April 2012

Yehaw! Giant's Causeway
Image Posted on
I know I was suppose to write a part 2 for my trek this past weekend. (I am getting around to it). But I got distracted with having Lightroom and 10 gigs worth of RAW files to edit.
iPhoneography is certainly nice to experiment with, but it's way past time for me to be dealing with RAW files. There's just something to be said when you're out with the DSLR, working away to get that shot. Then you bring it back home, work on it, and make it perfect.
It took me about 10 minutes to slip and slide over rocks to get to this point in a low tide. I knew what I wanted to capture, premeditated how I would get it, and then plugged in the settings and just waited. The tide was coming in, so my heart was racing. The 50mm is not accurately showing how close I felt, even though 50mm lenses are typically considered to portray what the human eye sees.
One thought on "Yehaw! Giant's Causeway"
Jack, its the most beautiful picture you have taken. Love you

An HSA can only be contributed to if one is not currently covered by health insurance. No. Not even close.To contribute to an HSA, you MUST have a health insurance policy that qualifies you to make the HSA contributions. They call it a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP), but there's a lot more to it than just a high deductible.--Peter

This recipe is super easy AND tasty that even your teenagers can help with!
What you'll need:
1 pound of boneless skinless chicken breast (cut into pieces)
1 cup of chopped carrots
1/2 bag of steam fresh broccoli
2 stalks of fresh zucchini
1 small onion
1.5 cup of teriyaki sauce
2 cups of brown rice (cooked)
The first thing you'll want to do is to marinate your cut chicken pieces in the teriyaki sauce overnight. The next day, pour your teriyaki chicken mix into a fry pan and cook thoroughly. No need to add any salt, the teriyaki sauce will serve for your seasoning. Remove your chicken from the pan. Toss your veggies (carrots, onion and zucchini) into the pan and cook until soft. While your veggies are cooking, put your steam fresh broccoli into the microwave for 5-7 minutes. Once that is done, you can add ½ of the bag to your veggie mix. You can use the other half of the bag for another meal! Once your veggies are to your liking, you can add your chicken back to the pan. Mix together and simmer on low. Fix your brown rice according to the package.
Plate your brown rice and pour some of your teriyaki chicken and veggies on top. ENJOY!
Notes: you can also use any other veggies that you like to the stir fry! You can sub your chicken for shrimp as well! Make it your own. Cheers to healthy and fresh eating!

This program offers companies the ability to defer a leasing payment for up to six months. Start-ups, second locations, satellite offices and others find this unique option a perfect solution to maintaining cash flow. With this program we feature 90-days of no payment, followed by 90-days at $99 a month, then followed by your desired term of repayment.
Customers find that having the first 6 months of almost no cash out of pocket gives them a great head-start.
Where the lessee assumes ownership of the equipment at the end of the lease term for one dollar. This popular option means at the end of the lease, your company owns the leased equipment outright.
Businesses that utilize this option would take ownership of the equipment after paying a pre-determined amount (10% of the purchase prices at the end of the term). This desirable option takes away the uncertainty of a FMV (Fair Market Value) scale.
Here lessees assume ownership of the asset right from the beginning of the loan, with no buyout options at term's end.
With so many flexible lending options at hand, Univest Capital makes business challenges smaller and opportunities larger.

Doing some searching I found that there is also a Palestine, Texas
If you visit the Visit Palestine webiste, you'll discover that
- It was the early home of Daniel Parker and was named after the Parkers' former home of Palestine, Illinois.
- The discovery of oil in 1928 at Boggy Creek, east of Palestine, diversified the town's economy and carried Palestine through the Great Depression.qv Several producing fields were later found in Anderson County, and Palestine became a center for oil-well servicing and supplies.
In case you're wondering how Palestine, Illinois got its name...
- It was named Palestine by John LaMotte because it reminded him of the biblical land of "milk and honey".
- Palestine is located along the west bank of the Wabash River [hmmm, figures...]
Back to work.
(You too.)

Staff at West Midland Safari Park are celebrating the birth of two Rothschild's giraffes — one of the rarest sub-species of giraffe in the world.
The exciting new youngsters, standing at six feet tall, are the first successes of a breeding programme for Rothschild's giraffe, put in place with the arrival of five adults three years ago.
The first news came on 9th August when, after a pregnancy lasting 15 months, five-year-old Bwindi gave birth to the first new arrival. Within 20 minutes, the not-yet-named baby boy had managed to co-ordinate his four long legs and was standing — a vital stepping stone for all giraffes in the wild.
Giraffes give birth standing up, so the second cute youngster arrived with a bump on 4th September. Mum, five-year-old Akacia, went straight to work, attentively cleaning her newborn baby girl and encouraging her to stand.
The news has given a boost to world-wide giraffe conservation efforts. Rothschild's giraffes used to roam in large numbers across the plains of Sudan, Kenya and Uganda, but it is thought that there are fewer than 2,500 individuals left in the wild today.
Deputy Head of Ungulates, Lisa Watkins said, "This is fantastic news not only for the park, but also for Rothschild's giraffe conservation. The IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature) lists them as 'endangered' and with numbers declining every day, due to habitat loss and poaching, we hope that our adorable leggy newcomers will help highlight the very real danger the species faces."
She added, "It's absolutely brilliant to have two healthy babies — the staff are so pleased. Whilst the babies find their feet, the public will be able to view them in the giraffe yard, but we hope that they will soon be roaming the safari, weather dependent. Both mums and babies are doing well and I'm sure dad, five-year-old Rufus, will be keeping his eyes on them when they are out and about, causing mischief."
Although the new babies are less than a month old, they are already taller than most of their keepers, but still have a lot of growing to do — giraffes are the tallest land animal, reaching a height of up to five metres.
West Midland Safari Park is home to a small herd of Rothschild's giraffes, introduced three years ago with the arrival of four females from zoos around Europe and male Rufus, from Flamingo Land in Yorkshire. Keepers hope that the success of these births bodes well and they can look forward to welcoming some brothers and sisters in years to come.
The giraffes can be seen in the four-mile self-drive safari, included in the standard admission charge of £22 for adults, £17 for children aged 3-15 years and £20 for concessions. Children under the age of 3 years are admitted free of charge and admission includes a free-return ticket. Adventure Theme Park rides are charged extra.
Further information is available from the park's official website, www.wmsp.co.uk, or by telephone on 01299 402114. You can follow the progress of the baby giraffes on the Safari Park's official Facebook page: http://www.wmsp.co.uk/facebook

Winter is on the way. Late on Monday night, NZSki fired up its 217 snow guns at Coronet Peak for the first time this year when temperatures dropped to -7degC in the Wakatipu.
That was coupled with a 5cm natural snowfall at the summit and a "skiff'' of snow down to the base area, ski area manager Ross Copland said.
"Once the wild weather passed and the winds died down, we were in full snow-making mode, making about 600 cubic metres of snow in 12 hours on main trails.
"The first snow is always a huge boost for staff and there's a real sense of excitement and anticipation in Queenstown.''
Mt Hutt is due to open for the 2016 season on June 10, with Coronet Peak and Cardrona scheduled to open the following day.
The Remarkables is scheduled to open on June 18, followed by Treble Cone on June 23.
A spokeswoman from Cardrona Alpine Resort said it had been snowing off and on there for the past week.

Fascinating Kinmen, Taiwan
Ken Jackson 3:38 p.m., Oct. 14
(Page 2 of 2)
Strassle is aware of opinions such as Mikesell's among his Campo neighbors and says he understands why people view his group as such. In fact, he believes God Unlimited has brought some of it upon itself. "Over the past years that we've been here," he says, "we were sort of incognito; we were doing our own thing at the end of the valley here, and we were busy with what we did."
But in recent months, Strassle and the other monks -- both men and women -- have gone visiting with neighbors. One neighbor they met was Jan Foster, a 4-year Campo resident and a 12-year Mountain Empire resident. "They're very, very nice," Foster says. "When they came to visit, they stopped by and said they wanted to introduce themselves. They weren't trying to convert me, they didn't want to know any gossip, they didn't ask questions about anybody. That's fine with me because, up here in the mountains, rumors are rampant. You don't believe anything you hear and only half of what you see. When they were getting ready to leave they said, 'If you need anything, just call us. If you need help, call us, we'll be here.' That's what you like in a neighbor. If you needed to call someone, you could call them, but otherwise they're not going to bother you, they're going to leave you alone. You couldn't ask for better neighbors. They're very quiet, they keep to themselves, and they do not generate any extra traffic. That's the mountain way, and they fit into that very well."
People in Rancho Santa Fe described the 39 Heaven's Gate cult members who committed simultaneous suicide in 1999 as nice, quiet neighbors too. But Strassle wants to assure the community that that won't be happening at God Unlimited. "No," he chuckles, "we enjoy life. We believe in the inner presence of the divine, not something out there; no spaceship or a God out there on some cloud that is going to take us away. But I can understand people being concerned about that. The media is into selling stories about [cults such as Heaven's Gate], and they do happen. But we definitely aren't like that."
Talk to any Campo resident about the University of Healing, and the word naked or nude will come up before long. In addition to the motorcycle and mailbox/school bus incidents in the '80s, which Mike Mikesell mentioned, neighbors have occasionally caught glimpses of naked monks sunbathing or walking the paths through the chaparral. Word of it has spread. Brian Elmore's 10-acre plot borders to 200 acres God Unlimited used to rent before they moved to the Far Valley Road property. "I met Herb Beierle on a few occasions," he recalls. "He came by once and asked my wife and me if we minded if he walked around in the buff. We said we didn't mind as long as he stayed out of our sight."
Strassle admits that outdoor nudity goes on at God Unlimited but insists it's not part of their religion and that they are not a nudist camp. "It's just that the sun is there," he says. "We enjoy nature, we like the sunshine, and some of us like to go out and sunbathe naked and even walk around naked. It has nothing to do with the inner divine. We feel it's natural, and the body should be something sacred and beautiful, and we shouldn't feel any part of it is bad in any way. Nobody has to go naked here. Some do, some don't. Nobody is offended, and it's not misinterpreted for anything else like free sex or anything like that. But we recognize that in American culture, things are a little different. That's the reason for the fence."
Which brings up another bit of meal from the Campo rumor mill. In the Mountain Empire, fences are discouraged because they detract from the wide-open feel of the area and prevent the free movement of wildlife. So when the cedar fence was being built across the front, or north, side of the God Unlimited land, close neighbors and other Campo people worried that the whole 90 acres would be fenced off. Strassle says they shouldn't worry. Only the side that borders neighbors will be fenced "as a courtesy to them," Strassle says. The rest of the campus adjoins Bureau of Land Management land.
Along with neighborhood visits, God Unlimited is planning a neighborhood party around its swimming pool in an effort to improve relations with the Campo community. And Strassle invites anyone from the community to visit the God Unlimited campus anytime. "I believe it's good for us to get to know our neighbors," Strassle says, "and for them to get to know us to realize that we are normal people who enjoy nature and like to take time to find the inner self."

Voices That Carry--Advocating for Carbon Caps in China
An influential voice from within calls for hard carbon emission targets.
A prominent policy academic has urged China to bind itself to carbon emission reductions. The substance of the academic's message is not new–that as a (the?) world's leading emitter of greenhouse gases, China should take active steps to curb emissions. What is new is that the messenger is coming from within, in a break from the official stance of Beijing, whose national climate policy focuses on reducing emissions intensity, i.e. emissions per unit of GDP, rather than reducing absolite emissions.
Tsinghua University public policy professor Hu AnGang (pictured right) argues that China stands much to gain, both economically and diplomatically, in imposing absolute emissions targets, even if the likes of the US continue to hold out in the global climate negotiations, reports Reuters. Indeed, we've already examined how China is beginning to cash-in on the low carbon game. In a climate plan proposed by Hu, China's GHG emissions would continue to rise until 2020, as China climbs up the Kutznets curve, then enter a period of dramatic emissions reductions to 1990-levels by 2030, and then half that by 2050.
Sometimes, the messenger is as or even more important than the message. A quick background check reveals Hu to be a highly influential policy adviser to the central government. According to his biography on Tsinghua's School of Public Policy & Management's webpage:
Dr. Hu has important influence to China's public policy making, as one of the most well-known policy advisers and Chinese economists to push China's reform and development. Earlier in 1990s, he propounded many important suggestions that had been adopted by the central government, for example, establishing tax share distribution system between central and local government (1993), reducing the disparities of regional development (1994), prohibiting the army of engaging in commerce (1994), creating jobs as most priority goal of economic development(1997), balance between social development and economic development (2000),new conception of development based on people-centred (2000,2004).
I've argued before (in an interview with Social Bridges) that in order to win the battle of ideas, we need "visionaries who can be champions of the sustainability cause. It is these people, who either by themselves or through innovative organizations at which they work, who are going to spread the green message globally." Many voices are calling for change, but some voices are heard louder than others, and when it comes to policy making in China, we expect that voices from within, especially amongst those who have the ears of the central government like Hu, are probably the best heard.
Despite China's hitherto unwavering adherence to the concept of common but differentiated responsibilities (i.e that developing countries such as China should not be bound by hard targets and that developed countries, who are historically responsibile for the largest emissions cumulatively over time, should lead the way), Hu argues:
It's in China's own interest to accept greenhouse gas emissions goals, not just in the international interest…Like joining the WTO [World Trade Organization, in 2001], this should be used as international pressure to spur our own transformation…If China makes a 1 percent error in handling climate change, that could mean 100 percent failure in making [an international] agreement [on climate change].
When it was pointed out how radical it was to advocate binding caps on emissions given the history of the international climate negotiations, Hu responded philosophically, in reference to his own experience in policy advocacy on various issues over the years:
I've always started out in the minority but ended up as the mainstream.
Indeed, Hu's clarion call to Beijing's policy makers reverberates across the pacific where a different visionary, renown journalist and leading globalization commentator Thomas Friedman (in his new book Hot, Flat and Crowded) has also called upon his fellow Americans to turn the challenge of fighting climate change into an opportunity to generate new wealth. The US and China, after all, should have a lot in common when it comes to energy security issues. Both are economic powerhouses that are heavily reliant on foreign sources of oil (70% of US's and 50% of China's oil consumption is met by foreing sources of oil), and use coal as a predominant source of electricity generation (50% for the US and 70% for China). These observations make cooperation on energy issues between both countries is a sensible and urgent foreign policy agenda.
They also make voices of "visionaries" like Hu and Friedman a little louder, and little clearer.

hey julian – came across this interesting post by richard stuebi on his first visit to china and his ideas about cleantech there.
best bit is his observation about language… i think that's pretty spot on. but then again, people do manage, even without great interpreters. and, who's to say china will need massive cleantech transfer anyway?

If, like us, you are motivated to reduce the suffering of all sentient beings, you may be wondering where to start. We believe that it is crucial to rationally consider the ways that you can reduce suffering through your own actions. For many people, the logical first step in helping is to adopt a plant-based diet in order to stop causing direct harm and suffering. We believe that it is also important to concurrently consider other actions that can have an even greater impact than our dietary choices.
"Although it may not seem intuitive, there is much more at stake in deciding where to donate than in deciding what to eat. The impact that your giving choices can make is much greater than the impact of your dietary choices."
Adriano Mannino, President of the Effective Altruism FoundationMore on Effective Giving
There are several ways get involved with Sentience Politics:
- Become a member in order to enable us to have reliable funding.
- Donate, in order to allow us to continue our projects.
- Volunteer and take an active role in our projects.
