"Yosemite National Park, in California's Sierra Nevada, is celebrating the 150th anniversary of the law that preserved it — and planted the seeds for the National Park system. At the same time, the park faces the challenge of protecting the natural wonders from their own popularity.
Since President Abraham Lincoln signed the 1864 law that protected this land, visitors have been enjoying the park's spectacular features, from Half Dome to the giant sequoia grove — and the moonbow at Yosemite Falls.
The moonbow is like a rainbow, but at night. Some photographers time their visits to the park so they can catch a glimpse of this rare phenomenon, which is only visible when the moonlight catches the mist at the waterfall."

There were two serious road traffic collisions in Milton Keynes on Saturday evening.
The first involved two cars colliding at the junction of Chaffron Way and Saxon Street, Fishermead, at 5.50pm.
Firefighters and paramedics removed a woman, injured, from one of the cars.
The second incident happened at 6.30pm on the A5 southbound between Portway roundabout, Central Milton Keynes, and Redmoor roundabout, Bletchley, when four cars collided.
Firefighters released a woman, injured, using hydraulic rescue equipment, and made the vehicles safe.
Four men and two women were out of the vehicles on arrival and in the care of paramedics.

This is surprisingly way more fun than expected. If I was told the gameplay, I'd be bored to death listening. But it's actually entertaining and a relief from shooters and the like.
Higher levels could be harder and graphics would require more work to be art, obviously.
Thanks fo sharing!
This game... THIS GAME! GOD DIGLETT IT'S WAY TOO ADDICTIVE! THE ART IS DECENT THE ANIMATION IS GOOD THE SONG SOUNDS GREAT THE IDEAS ARE CREATIVE AND I LOVE IIIIT!
this game is impossible. why cant we just use the w,a,s,d keys?
Wow. I have never had a game suck me in so fast. It was addicting! I loved the artwork.. made me laugh a few times. Great game.
well i can tell a couple things are liek the original spore game. But as far as th game itself ilieked he music. but there is moe u could do. i hated the way of movement. this might be jst me but i think it went to fast for it to be easy to control. maybe arrow keys or having the organisim move slower. I alos though it would be nice for us (im kinda thinking os whats in spore) for there to be away to see what ur ighting health and atack and defence and what not. Or have a health bar of ur own so u can see how you are doing. It was a bit long and do to the fact our animal only changed color i got a bit unhapy bou that. as i mentioned this idea is from spore but shouldnt we be ablle to alter the naimals around it and itself? so we an change its colors or secide what they have on it. other then the music the lack of any other noises bothered me bit. no sound of movement or the sound of other ofrganisms fighting eacheother or eating. whitch what i noticed none of the organisms avoided eachother or fought eachother. so the gme was not relistic either. the other aniamsals were not any better as some of them looked liek smilyes and tydy blobs. i was able to makea game using paint that could only be used on the conputer its on that aloud u to makea critter and havelife a food ba and enimies. it was a spore maker idea but the "game" part was not real game anyways. it took more of your own timing and thinking then the acaul gam. for example you had to change and update your food bar. the game did not. but i think the idea was ok but alot of improvemnt is needed.

Garden Fresh designed by Marcella Hawley. With a healthy bunch of radishes or beets, deliciously sweet snap peas and fresh-picked carrots, this set is ready to plant itself onto your creations! Three main images plus a series of sentiments that will help you deliver some of summer's best - not just in cards, but in gift tags, recipe cards, canning labels and more!
Speaking of Recipe Cards.... Flourishes has two new digital downloads that are PERFECT for labels and recipes! Be sure to check out their new Fresh Labels and Fresh Recipes downloads! I used both on my creation today.
On to my creation! I wanted to make something that would be good for potlucks or for barbecues that you could make and give to honor the hostess. So, I put my thinking cap on. You might think this is just a regular card, but you'll find out, it's a little more.
For my creation, I used a portion of Flourishes new 123 Create Kit called Yacht Club. The paper and brad are in this fabby kit! I used the new set Garden Fresh for the front and stamped it on Flourishes new Fresh Labels digital download that I had printed on Flourishes Classic White. After stamping once over the entire label, I stamped the sentiment 'What's Cookin'?' from the set on a second label, cut out and popped up the sentiment window. I colored my radish (or beet) with Copic markers and used the Creamy, Spring Greens, and Dahlia Collection and then added some highlighting with the Flesh Tones 1 Collections grouped by Flourishes.
Here's a close up!
And, here's a peek at the inside! I printed off one of the Fresh Recipes cards and stamped Flourishes Strawberries set on the edge coloring with the Poppy, Daffodill and Spring Greens Copic Collections. I thought this was perfect for my Strawberry Salad recipe. I created a pocket from my decorative paper and thought the recipe plus a cook book book mark would be a fun little extra!
For the book mark, I used one of the Fresh Labels digital downloads, stamped some of the veggies from the Garden Fresh set and colored them up with Copics. Add a heavy duty eyelet, a book mark tassel and... good to go! On a portion of the pocket, I stamped one of the sentiments from the set, which says "From Our Kitchen." I thought that'd be a fun little addition.
And that, my friends, is it! A fun little card that acts as a homemade "gift" of sorts! You won't believe the creativity that our design team cooked up using this set. You'll have to hop on over and see what they whipped up!

Meet Razer Nabu X, the sleek everyday smartwear packed with a host of fun and intuitive features to help you get more out of your day: A discreet notification system using vibrations and three bright LEDs, activity tracking with a precise accelerometer and algorithms, band-to-band social connectivity and more. The Razer Nabu X is easy to put on and comfortable to wear all day long. It is also IP67 water resistant for peace of mind on all your adventures.
The Nabu X comes with band-to-band communication capability which lets two or more Nabu wearables talk to one another. This allows for social discovery, data exchange, multiplayer gaming and more. Lastly, the Nabu X's open development platform allows third-party app developers to harness the power of the smartband to create new and delightful apps for you to have fun with.
Discreet and Colourful Notifications
Stay on top of everything when the Nabu X notifies via a gentle vibration, of incoming calls, texts, emails and other app alerts without distracting you in the moment.
Three LEDs light up in either red, blue or green to denote specifically whether you're receiving a call, alarm or app alert. With the accompaniment Nabu X Utility app, customise the colours to match incoming notifications, so you always know what exactly you've received.
Stay Active
With an enhanced accelerometer and algorithms built in, the Razer Nabu X tracks exactly how far you've walked, how long you've slept for, how many more calories you need to burn to hit that personal goal and more.
Download the companion fitness app of your choice from the Nabu X App marketplace to view your tracked data.
Adventure Together
The Razer Nabu X is a social wearable. Two or more Nabu wearables in a specified proximity can automatically exchange tags, which can be used by third-party apps to help users make new friends, discover people with similar interests, play multiplayer games in real life and more*.
*Third-party apps to utilise this feature will be built out over time.
All-Day Wear
The Razer Nabu X lasts up to 7 days on a single charge and can be charged quickly using the included proprietary charging cable. All this is designed to keep the Nabu X on your wrist for longer.
The Razer Nabu X is also water resistant – meaning it stays on your wrist keeping track of your activity, rain or shine.
Double-Tap to See Your Goals
The Razer Nabu X can be customised to display your progress towards achieving a personally set goal. How far you've walked, how many calories you've burnt, the remaining battery life and more is shown via the three LEDs, just by double-tapping the sensor module in the band.
One-Size-Fits-All Strap and Two Colours
The Razer Nabu X is designed with a easy-to-wear strap that fits most wrist sizes. It also is made from really comfortable soft-touch material.
Nabu X is available in two colours: Black and white, with a detachable sensor module for future strap interchangeability.

CLEVELAND Ken Griffey Jr. moved within one swing of history with his 499th career home run, but the Cincinnati Reds' losing streak reached season-high six games with a 10-8 loss to the Cleveland Indians on Sunday.
Griffey connected for his 18th homer his 10th in 21 games in the third, pulling a 1-1 pitch from Indians starter Cliff Lee over the wall in right.
Matt Lawton hit a two-run homer in the seventh inning as the Indians down 7-1 in the fourth completed a three-game sweep with their third come-from-behind victory over Ohio's NL squad.
Matt Miller (1-0) pitched the seventh for his first major league win, and Jose Jimenez worked the ninth for his fifth save in eight tries.

Giants 7, Orioles 3

Baltimore pitched to Bonds four times in five trips to the plate, and twice the slugger made the Orioles pay. He hit a two-run shot in the third and singled in a run in the sixth to make it 4-2.
Bonds' homer gave him 500 with San Francisco, making the Giants' franchise the first in baseball history to have three players hit 500 with the club. Willie Mays had 646 and Mel Ott hit 511.
Jerome Williams (6-4) allowed three runs and six hits in 7 1-3 innings, and Tyler Walker got four outs for his first major league save.

Mariners 8, Expos 1
SEATTLE Joel Pineiro ended his seven-game losing streak and the Mariners completed their first sweep of the season.
Pineiro (2-8) won for the first time in 10 starts since April 18. He pitched eight innings and gave up one run and six hits.
The right-hander allowed only a solo homer to Terrmel Sledge in the fifth. That ended a streak of 28 consecutive scoreless innings by Mariners pitchers, including 24 by their starters.
The Mariners scored their most runs since an 11-0 victory against Baltimore on May 20.

BOSTON Pedro Martinez pitched seven strong innings to beat the team he started his career with, and Pokey Reese hit a two-run double and made a leaping catch that saved a run for the Red Sox.
Martinez (7-3) withstood several Dodgers threats after allowing a run in the first as the Red Sox won for the sixth time in eight games. He allowed one run, seven hits and two walks and struck out five.
Astros 5, Brewers 4
MILWAUKEE Jose Vizcaino and Jeff Kent each hit solo homers, and the Houston Astros held on for a 5-4 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday.
Vizcaino went 3-for-5 for the Astros, who salvaged the final game of their three-game series at Milwaukee. The Astros have won just nine of their last 22 games.

Solar panels will line up next to toasters and dishwashers for sale on the British high street for the first time today, after Currys announced a pilot scheme to sell the green technology in its stores.
Branches in West Thurrock, Essex, and Fulham and Croydon, London, will stock the panels. A typical £9,000 system, with nine panels, can generate about 40% of an average household's annual electricity demand, cut bills and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by two tonnes a year. Currys said soaring electricity prices and greater environmental awareness had created consumer demand. Fewer than 2,000 homes in the UK have the photovoltaic (PV) panels fitted.

Customers would get an in-store consultation followed by a free assessment to check whether their properties were suitable, Currys said. Consumers who generate more electricity than they use can sell the excess into the national grid.
PV panels are already available through specialist suppliers, but Currys said people would be more willing to buy them from a major brand.
Householders could get up to half the cost refunded through a government scheme to help people green their houses. Kirk Archibald, who administers the grant programme for the Energy Saving Trust, said some £1.5m of the £6m set aside to pay for projects over the next three years has been spent since it started in May.

I think you want xsi:type for compatibility with the schema recommendation (though SOAP uses it even when schemas are not in force.) This way you can assert at the schema level what the type of an element is. Indeed, one could imagine doing things in the schema like fixing the value of the SOAP-ENC:arrayType attribute. You could then make, I think, a schema level arrayOfInt type. Schema tools then understand the xsi:type; SOAP level tools understand the relationship of the two attrs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Noah Mendelsohn Voice: 1-617-693-4036 Lotus Development Corp.

True Life Introduces America To An NF Victim Who Dreams Of Skinny Jeans
Meet Amber, a nineteen year old college freshman with a debilitating genetic disorder called Neurofibromatosis that affects her nervous system and one very big dream: to wear a pair of skinny jeans. Video of her heart-warming tale inside.
Neurofibromatosis—or NF—is a disease which causes tumors to grow at any time on any part of your body. I'd never heard of it before tonight—as I'm sure a lot of people watching hadn't—but it looks and sounds as awful as you'd think. Though the other two subjects of tonight's NF-focused True Life also had amazing stories to share it was Amber's that really stole the show. After watching her father undergo surgery to get rid of some NF tumors of his own, Amber headed to Austin to get a large tumor on her torso removed. After years of having doctors tell her they couldn't, she finally found a doctor who would consent to the procedure and put her one step closer to her making her sartorial dream a reality.
And, alas! Success! The tumor was removed! And through the magic of
television modern medicine, our girl Amber would finally get the chance to have the body and pants she'd always dreamed of.
It may not seem like much, but a big part of the reason why this story is so great is because, hey, who doesn't like a good pair of skinny jeans? And to see a girl who is kind and ambitious and so clearly devoted to her family successfully fight a disease like NF and get the pants of her dreams? Well, let's just say I'm going to need to run out and get another box of kleenex in the morning.

Music Beat: Broken Buffalo
Updated 3:40 pm, Tuesday, June 11, 2013
Décor's loss ended up being a band name's gain.
"We wanted a name that meant something to us," said lead guitarist and vocalist Ruben Duenez.
"We had this decoration in our rehearsal studio, a ceramic buffalo from Buffalo Trace Bourbon that Adam had put up," drummer Zac Saunders said. "I think he stole it from a bar."
"Hey, I won it playing beer pong at a bar," replied bassist Adam Herzig.
"During a rehearsal, the vibrations knocked the buffalo off the wall. It broke," Saunders said. "So we're Broken Buffalo."
Broken Buffalo — Duenez, 28, Saunders, 23, Herzig, 24, and guitarist/vocalist Kip Montgomery, 25 — came together on New Year's Day 2012. Its members played in bands including Northern Lights, Glory Automatic, the High Class and New Kicks.
"Patience" (Gondwanaland), Broken Buffalo's new CD, came out locally in March. This month the band is making a push for national radio airplay. It will work "Rock Lobster Festival" at Josabi's on June 22 on a bill including Mutemath, Girl in a Coma, Vallejo, Carlton Zeus and Hydra Melody.

A melodic indie rock band with influences that range from big band swing to Minus the Bear to Red Hot Chili Peppers, Broken Buffalo crafts songs built around the tasteful, rocking front line of Duenez and Montgomery and inventive, but rock solid, rhythm from drummer Saunders and bassist/beer pong champ Herzig.
"Our influences are different, but we both sing in that jazz style," Montgomery said of Duenez.
"Kip is the high end of the voice I wish I had," Duenez replied. "I come up with vocal parts I can't sing but Kip can. He's got an incredible ear. It's easy for me to come up with parts on the guitar that he can sing."
"Ruben is a far better guitar player," Saunders said. "Ruben is more the lead guitar player and Kip is the more prominent vocalist."
"We don't all have this big ego," Duenez said. "What we're doing is still a process. Our sound is still evolving."
At Fredstock, a concert staged in May by students in the San Antonio College music business program, Broken Buffalo stood out because of its melodic rock and because of the easy way the band entertained, and interacted with, the audience.
"When we see smiles on people's faces, it makes us feel good," Herzig said.
"It's about the music and about people enjoying what we do," Montgomery added. "If it wasn't about people enjoying what we do, we could just stay in the garage."
Duenez grew up around conjunto and rock. His grandfather, Conrad Cruz, is an accordionist. His parents introduced him to the music of Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, Earth, Wind & Fire and Chicago. Among the first things he played were Jimmy Page licks on acoustic guitar.
"My parents would tell me, 'Listen to this solo. This is what's cool,'" he said. "I'm a visual learner. I can watch people and mimic what they're playing. When I watched my grandfather play accordion, I knew that when he went out to play he would make people happy."
Bass man Herzig started as a guitarist.
"Zac had an epiphany. He handed me a bass," Herzig said. "I was into Sublime, Bob Marley, Incubus, the Chili Peppers. I always loved that soulful funk that can still be heavy and smooth."
"We say Adam plays lead bass," Montgomery said.
Drummer Saunders' dad, Tim Saunders, played drums with Nightwork.
"I grew up playing in my room with giant speakers trying to emulate Travis Barker," Saunders said, laughing. "I like to play loud and fast, but lately I've been trying to tone it down a little."
Montgomery's first gigs were on jazz trombone.
"I played Count Basie, Fletcher Henderson, Maynard Ferguson charts," he said. "I listened to Mingus, Wes Montgomery, Miles, Sonny Rollins."
There's no set pattern for the way Broken Buffalo songs come together.
"There's a lot of improvisation," Herzig said.
"Ruben comes up with a chord structure and we riff on it," Montgomery said. "Then we ask ourselves, 'Where do we go from here?'"
"We practice our songs ...," Saunders said.
"But we always create," Herzig added.

Thanks for the translation CronuZ, and welcome to posterhood (not welcome to the forum since as a lurker you're already familiar with it)! If it really does mean "it is thought", then.. well, that still sounds weird, but since no one else notices what I mean maybe I'm just crazy. (I agree that he must have found all that out through research, since they probably wouldn't fail to mention it overtly if the information existed elsewhere, but still, as a wording nut I remain unsettled, just a bit.)
kakekiri, good point about Euphemia (I put Yuffie because that's what gg initially subbed it as, bad habit I guess) mentioning Shinjuku. When I first noticed that line, since I was still thinking of her in context of the slap (that was an academy student? I didn't realize, I thought it was just an ordinary Japanese), my impression was: perhaps she has a sense of justice and idealism, but doesn't realize that she doesn't understand what it's like to live terribly and what the cause is, and her request of Suzaku was just so she could analyze the situation and make judgment herselfs, not her attempt to experience the lives of elevens; someone who has been sheltered like her could have been taught morality in theory and could out of pride perhaps believe themselves an expert on such matters who only needs to survey the situation to make an accurate judgment. But yeah that definitely may not be who she is, especially since her tone of voice is impressively sensitive as she asks him to show her that area, so it's excellent you prompted me to reexamine this. I'll review some of the details of her conversation with Suzaku a bit later, too, I think.
As for Suzaku's catch... that kind of situation is such a time-honored cliche that I don't think the writers imagined he wouldn't have caught her, though that's just my sense. Thank you, and I really hope I do like the next episode. In fact, I was thinking about it earlier and realized that it could be very probable that Suzaku will keep to himself at first, and only "truly" (that is, he could meet them, but he wouldn't initially become close to them) make friends slowly through circumstance (which is what seems ideal to me).
On the subject of speculation about the Geass, Lelouch should test its introspective power, as well. He could control strudents and ask them to answer questions such as, what concepts do you associate with a particular term, what do you think is your purpose in life, and most importantly, how do you feel and what do you think is occuring to you at the moment. If it permits a high degree of introspection, then he doesn't need to wait for that experiment to end, he can just control people such that they respond to certain codewords/events and also subtly convey to what degree they feel they are still under his control and willing to do his tasks, so he can detect when he is losing his hold over various sleeper agents. Of course he still needs to test its duration, but if he test the other, then every time he has to Geass someone for whatever reason, if he has the opportunity, he can also turn them into his puppet. Hmm, there's no way that his identity could be found by scientific examination of a person if that person is believed to be under his passive control, is there...? Actually there very well could be, so perhaps that would be risky. Although he could order them to no longer be under his control if he felt they were under suspicion. Anyway, if his comment about "reflection" is what we assume it to be, then he should test out Geass-by-mirror sometime soon, I'd think.

The person Euphemia slapped was a Britanian student complaining about his camera. The angry Japanese folks had already been driven off by Suzaku.
Anyway, I'm not sure what introspection has to do with what you're talking about (which sounds like hypnosis or something). Anyway, I'm under the impression that Geass is limited to a single order, and that's the only limit. On the other hand, this means he couldn't tell someone to "periodically make this signal" and "listen to me when I do this" and "do ____ (whatever task Lulu Geass'd the person for)" because that's three different orders. I guess he could order some random person to "join Zero's rebellion when Japan gains independence" or something generic like that, but in general it seems like he'd have to plan ahead in detail, and couldn't just make a bunch of generic puppets with no preset purpose.

I see (on who Euphemia slapped).
Testing for introspection would verify if a person under the influence of Geass is capable of accurately knowing when they are becoming less influenced so that people programmed to be under Lelouch's control could indicate when they are close to breaking free of his control, if there's a limit, without any awkward situations.
The Geass does in fact seem very close to hypnosis, in that it produces a mental state in which the subject is (ordinarily) cooperative and doesn't initiate action (but of course, the Geass completely subjugates a person, so it's entirely unlike hypnosis fundamentally). Oh... wow, it's very clear now, but I'm dumb to not have realized before that the Geass has always been just one command, not one period of time during which a person can be influenced; thanks for pointing it out. But I don't see that the one order must be simple or concrete. Lelouch's order for Karen to answer his questions didn't specify the nature of those questions, and no doubt Jeremiah interpreted for himself what "with all your strength" meant. So, there's the "subjective" element there, and there's the "programming" element in what the girl with the stick is doing. And if there's a limit to how elaborate the order can be, then I think that dialing a specific phone at a specific time and play specific messages in specific order (Nanaly's maid) would show that it's broad limit. Also, I just took a look at episode 4 at 03:49, and there's a man who says, while under control, "All that's left is for me to erase the evidence and forget about everything, right?" so that must have been pretty complicated an order. All in all, I think that it's worth a shot for Lelouch to try what I described. By the way, we have very similar writing styles, Bahamut.

Finished ep5 ...and i have to say - lol. Wellcome to Kira v2.0 - Suzaku. And he even got himself a Lacus v2.0 - Euphemia. Up to this point it seems that Suzaku is going to annoy me till no bitter end, just like Kira did with goodie-two-shoes attitude. And he gets himself a Freedom v2.0 (lanceloth)Lets see if he will also get Lacus dust from Euphie...
Lulu is a pretty decent character - finaly some one who is not afraid to pull the trigger and actually can think instead of relying on imba hacks and zomgpower. I prefer the dark hero type over the champion of justice any day. And i do hope they have a good explaination why Suzaku entered the school. Now all we need is for CC to enlist as well and we will have some one from each faction under the same roof.
CC... lol, i liked how she marched in to Lulu's room and declared he is sleeping on the floor :P I hope they explain her story and her powers well instead of leaving her as some enigma plot device.
Mecha design is pretty ok... (reminds me of Wanzers from Front Mission(PS game) because of the way they move with their wheel-boots. Tho they are overusing the grappling hook things in battles too much - firing a gun in a direct battle is much more effective imo because im sure a bullet is faster.
Im not that fond of the character design... they are so skinny i can't help but think they would fall apart if exposed to stronger wind... seriously, is it a crime in CG universe to be > 40(35)kgs ?
Seems like pretty medicore series thus far, but it is keeping my interest so i will continue to watch it... if only for more over-the-top dramatic and theatrical Zero entrance in his count dracula outfit. That, and because i want to find out some more about CC.
On to ep6...

Top 10 Significant Motorcycles Designed By Massimo Tamburini
1. Ducati 916
Duh. You knew before opening this list the 916 would be the headliner. Still, you're probably drooling over the picture above the same way you did when your first saw it. Simply put, the 916, introduced for the 1994 model year, was unlike anything before it. Elegant and sexy, yet purposeful and aggressive, all at the same time. Underseat exhausts became popular because of this bike, mass centralization be damned. You couldn't help but follow the exhaust pipe routing to see where it terminated, and in doing so your eyes would momentarily be diverted by the unobstructed rear wheel, made clearly visible thanks to the single-sided swingarm. The 916 showed that even elements like the twin headlights, which until now were either square or round pieces seemingly sourced from the local auto parts store, could be finely sculpted pieces.
Of course, the success of the 916 (and later the 996 and 998) would be a gift and a curse for Ducati, just ask Pierre Terblanche, who followed up the 998 with the little-loved 999. Some of Tamburini's styling elements born on the 916 continue on in the Panigale of today. Both the MV Agusta F4 and Ducati 916 deserve to jointly hold the top spot, but historical significance gives the 916 the nod.
While we mourn the loss of Massimo Tamburini, we wonder what else he had doodled in his notepad during the last few years of his life. Is it possible we haven't seen the last Tamburini design?

'To make a film on the life and times of faction leader Paritala Ravi is not an immediate thought of mine. It had been in my mind for the last five years. I did some research for this film. I also met the family members of Ravi and learnt so many things. The purview of the faction subject is vast and we cannot say it in just two hours,' says RGV. Hence, he is planning to release the movie in two parts, both of which would be released this summer.
RGV explains why he has taken Vivek for Parital Ravi's role.'After thinking hard on every actor both known and unknown I have finally zeroed in on Vivek Oberoi as the most ideal choice to play Paritala Ravi. He has remarkable intensity in his eyes which I noticed during the making of Company, a voice which commands attention, an arrogance in his demeanour, an enormous power in his stance, and also a certain vulnerability which makes one instantly warm up to him, which is what is needed to fit in a role of Paritala Ravi's profile'.

"This thoroughly researched book convincingly constructs a theoretical thread around Ferreira Gullar's 1959 'Theory of the Nonobject,' a seminal text from the Rio de Janeiro neoconcrete movement. Amor's extrapolation applies it beyond the immediate regional context, producing a persuasive historical account that avoids the pitfalls of cartographic or teleology-based narratives."—Michael Asbury, Deputy Director, Research Centre for Transnational Art, Identity and Nation, University of the Arts, London
"Amor has located a conceptual trope (nonobject) that allows her to trace a theoretical path for interpreting a wide and diverse range of modernist practices in Brazil, Venezuela, and Argentina in their artistic search for transformation and their eventual clashes with ideological public agendas. Her book is a thoughtful attempt to create a comparative model of art history framed by the always thorny relationship between art and the sociopolitical utopias reinvented in the region."—Gabriela Rangel, Director of Visual Arts and Chief Curator, Americas Society

How Old are Ben and Kris?
Date: 10/17/1999 at 17:44:56 From: Emily Subject: Age word problems I have been given several word problems on age like: A man is 13 times as old as his son is. In 10 years he will be 3 times as old as his son will be. How old are they now? The book does show how to solve that particular problem, but gives a new twist on the problems they solve! Here's one. Please give me a step-by-step on how to solve: Five years ago Ben was 2/3 as old as Kris. Ten years from now he will be 5/6 as old as Kris. How old are they now? Thanks.
Date: 11/28/1999 at 10:21:29 From: Doctor Aileen Subject: Re: Age word problems Hi Emily, One way to solve this problem is to write a system of equations with two variables. Let x be Kris' age now and y be Ben's age. Then x - 5 is how old Kris was 5 years ago. Since Ben was two thirds of Kris' age 5 years ago, then 2/3*(Kris' age five years ago) = Ben's age five years ago. Therefore 2/3*(x - 5) = y - 5 The problem also tells you that in 10 years from the present time Ben's age will be 5/6 Kris' age. In other words 5/6 * (Kris' age in 10 years) = Ben's age in 10 years or: 5/6 * (x + 10) = y + 10 You need to find an x and y that will be true for both equations. To do this you need to solve for the variables one at a time. By subtracting the second equation from the first you can formulate a third equation that has only one variable. 2/3*(x-5) = y - 5 - 5/6*(x+10) = y + 10 -------------------------------- (2/3*(x-5) - 5/6*(x+10) = -15 The equations can be either subtracted or added, whatever works to eliminate one variable. Now you can find the value of this variable. After doing so you can substitute it back into one of the original equations. Setting up the equations is the most important aspect of the problem. Once you have the proper equations it is simply a matter of solving. Also, if you are uncomfortable with the method of eliminating a variable, you can try graphing both equations. The intersection point represents the x and y values that satisfy both equations. I hope this helps. - Doctor Aileen, The Math Forum http://mathforum.org/dr.math/
Date: 1/20/2002 at 13:01:58 From: Judy Ann Brown Subject: Re: Age word problems Here's the same problem done in two more ways: Five years ago Ben was 2/3 as old as Kris. Ten years from now he will be 5/6 as old as Kris. How old are they now? We can set up a chart: 5 years ago now in ten years Ben (2/3)x (2/3)x + 5 (2/3)x + 15 Kris x x + 5 x + 15 From the problem we know that Ben's age in 10 years = 5/6 Kris' age in 10 years (2/3)x + 15 = 5/6(x + 15) 4x + 90 = 5x + 75 (we multiplied both sides by 6 to get rid of the fractions) 15 = x If we know that Kris was 15 five years ago, he is now 20. Ben was 2/3(15) or 10 five years ago, so he is now 15. In ten years Ben will be 25 and Kris will be 30. There is also an elementary guess-and-check approach to solving this problem that does not use variables. Five years ago Kris had to be an age that was a multiple of 3. The 2/3 for Ben's age tells me so. Let's make a chart and guess: Let's start with 3, because that is the youngest Kris could have been 5 years ago. GUESS 1: Kris is 3 5 years ago now in ten years Ben 2 7 17 (more than 5/6 of 18, so 3 is too little) Kris 3 8 18 GUESS 2: Kris is 30 5 years ago now in ten years Ben 20 25 35 (less than 5/6 of 45, so 30 is too much) Kris 30 35 45 I can also tell that Kris' age in ten years must be a multiple of 6. But that's only going to happen if I start out with an odd number for his age, because I will have to add 15, and the only way to get an even number when one of the addends is odd is to have the second addend also odd. GUESS 3: Kris is 21 5 years ago now in ten years Ben 14 19 29 (less than 5/6 of 36, so 21 is too much) Kris 21 26 36 I know that I'm getting close in my guesswork, but I need a smaller number for Kris' age, and it must be an odd multiple of 3. I choose 15. GUESS 4: Kris is 15 5 years ago now in ten years Ben 10 15 25 (this is exactly 5/6 of 30) Kris 15 20 30 I know I have a correct solution. But what was the question? How old are they now...? Ben is 15, and Kris is 20. - Judy Ann Brown

Today in Kate Moss & Cocaine: Au Revoir, Chanel
Things just keep getting worse for (former?) supermodel Kate Moss. After her coke-sniffing mug was featured on the cover of the UK's Daily Mirror last week, mega-retailer H&M has dropped Moss from their upcoming campaign and it seems that Chanel is following suit, refusing to renew Moss' contract in October. Moss still has a deal with cosmetics company Rimmel but, at this rate, we doubt that'll last much longer.
Since when did the fashion industry suddenly turn against cocaine use? Models such as Naomi Campbell have openly admitted to their drug problems and continue to work. Alas, satanic intervention might be involved: We hear that Anna Wintour might be to blame. Word from Europe is the Vogue editor has been campaigning against Moss ever since the story broke, thus the sudden Moss backlash. Is there any evil in this world not related to Wintour?

The book says that the problem with Christianity is that it won't tolerate other religions. It implies, however, that the problem with Christianity is that it's a stupid jerk religion for assholes. The ladies in Avalon get psychic powers and meaningful jobs and top-notch liberal arts educations, whereas we manage to make it about three whole chapters into the book before a Christian dude beats his wife and things get all "be silent, you accursed scold" this and "have you put some spell upon my manhood, you accursed bitch" that and "you see what comes of your willfulness, my lady" the other. To argue that the book ultimately teaches religious tolerance is like arguing that old movie serials ultimately taught the importance of cooperation between virtuous maidens and dudes with capes and handlebar moustaches who enjoyed tying maidens to train tracks. Of course, medieval Christianity was deeply misogynist and intolerant, and so was medieval Britain. The crucial addition is a magic island full of twentieth-century Women's Studies majors who can tell everyone else what they're doing wrong and allow readers to feel superior in between the many sex scenes.
YES THIS. This sums up all many of my problems with Mists, in a humourous yet eloquent fashion. Ten points to Sady Doyle. (Link goes to an article entitled 'The Fantasy of Girl World: Lady Nerds and Utopias, which does have one major flaw, and that is the assumption that all spec-fic is escapist nerd wish-fulfilment. Which, er, leaves me wondering what to do with The Handmaid's Tale.)
The thing is, I loved Mists as a teenager! LOVED IT! For some reason I never really questioned the "pagans good / Christians evil" logic of Mists (and much other historical-fantasy lit). Despite being a very devout little Christian, it wasn't until my last year of high school that it crossed my mind that there was anything odd about this paradigm at all. Mind you, nor did I question the weird mythologies surrounding "Celtic" Christianity in some religious circles (whack some knotwork on it! Mention St Bridit! Lo and behold you're cool and feminist now!), so I think we can just call all this critical-thinking-fail on my part.
Then I went to university! And learned the error of my ways. The Celts are not magical, my friends. Also, not all Christians are evil. And being a Celt does not exempt you from the putative evils of Christianity and/or the patriarchy.
Other fun things about my experience with Mists as a teenager:
-I was really, um, surprised by the Arthur/Guinevere/Lancelot scene. And I thought it was really cool and edgy and boundary-crossing and a fascinating concept, this idea that each of them was really as much into the other as they were into the woman they supposedly wanted! And yet for some reason it took me until last year to read Between Men. This was clearly an opportunity lost.
-I got really annoyed with her handling of Guinevere! And everyone's else's (that I could get hold of; so, Malory and onwards). She's always such a wet blanket!* And I was really peeved that MZB, who spent so much time and effort rehabilitating Morgan, basically wrote off Guinevere and used her as a cipher for Teh Evils of Teh Patriarchy.
So I set out to fix this! I was going to write an Arthurian novella about Guinevere, and she was not going to be a wet blanket! This turned out to be way too hard to do when I had little to no access to medieval sources and was getting tangled on the idea that there was a "real" Arthurian legend. So I gave up and wrote terrible teenage poetry instead.
And now I am at university, and I am trying to wrangle a chapter into shape, and it is about how Guinevere is actually more interesting than Arthur. In short, the main thing that's changed since I was sixteen is that I now hate Mists much more than I did before.**
*Another reason to love the BBC's Merlin. Gwen is not a damp rag!
** Also, my poetry is worse now than when I was sixteen. Disappointing.

The Amazing Frida Kahlo
By Bridgett
Frida Kahlo Self Portrait recreated by Bridgett
Magdalena Carmen Frida Kahlo y Calderon
July 6, 1907-July 13, 1954
Frida Kahlo was born on July 6th, 1907, in Coyoacan, Mexico, to Guillermo Kahlo and Matilde Calderon y Gonzalez. Her fathers' real name was Carl Wilhelm Kahlo. He was a Jewish German, son of Jakob Kahlo and Henriett Kaufmann. He had two other children from his first marriage. Because of Frida's German heritage, she decided to spell her name like "Frida", which means peace. Her mother Matilde Calderon y Gonzalez was a Catholic Latina. She had four kids, Frida was their third child. Frida once said that she was always surrounded by females. She attended an elementary school and joined a gang. She fell in love with a guy named Alejandro Gomez Arias.
The Mexican Revolution began in 1910 and Frida would sometimes say that she was born that year so she could be associated with the revolution. Revolutionaries would jump over their fence to get a meal.
Kahlo had two dangerous diseases like Polio and spinal bifida. But those diseases never stopped her attending sports like boxing. On September 17, 1925, Frida had another problem on her hands, she was in a bus and it suddenly hit a trolley car. She suffered serious injuries, including a broken spinal column, a broken collarbone, broken ribs, a broken pelvis, eleven fractures in her right leg, a crushed and dislocated right foot and a dislocated shoulder.
Although she recovered from her injuries and eventually regained her ability to walk, she was always having extreme pain for the remainder of her life. The pain was intense and often left her going to a hospital or bedridden for months at a time. She underwent as many as thirty-five operations as a result of the accident, mainly on her back and her right leg and front foot.
After her terrible accident, Frida could not accomplish her dream of studying medicine; instead she stared painting self-portraits. Her mom got her a custom made easel and her dad let borrow his paints. Of her 143 paintings she painted, 55 of them were self-portraits. Many of her paintings symbolized her pain. She also used many cultural ideas in her paintings. She went to Paris and sold the first piece of artwork in the 20th century that was painted by a Mexican. Her art was also the first [20th century Mexican artist] to be purchased by an internationally renowned museum.
As a young artist, she met painter Diego Rivera, who she asked for advice. He encouraged her and they soon began an intimate relationship. They eventually got married! Frida Kahlo's father would call them "the elephant and the dove". Frida openly was bisexual and had affairs with men and women. Diego had an affair with Frida's younger sister, Cristina. Frida and Diego's relationship was not a good one. They divorced, but got remarried in 1940. Frida died at the age of 47. Doctors suspect it was of a sickness or overdose.
Frida Kahlo influenced many people like Edward Weston, Hector Garcia, Imogene Cunningham and Manuel Alvarez Bravo. Frida was not really that important as artist until the early 1980's when the artistic movement in Mexico known as the Neomexicanismo began. I feel that Frida Kahlo was and still is an amazing artist. I can kind of relater to her, but there were so many serious things that went on in her life – like the bus accident. She inspires me in so many ways, like to follow my dreams no matter what. I think that in her lifetime as an artist she was very strong and never gave up – not even when she had pain and her leg hurt her. Today many people know about her. Her painting called The Little Deer is worth more than 200 million dollars. I will never forget about Magdalena Carmen Frida Kahlo y Calderon.

Reading Glossies Can Keep Our Streets Safe
Breaking news on the always-important beat of pretty people vs. the uglies:
Not only are physically unattractive teenagers likely to be stay-at-homes on prom night, they're also more likely to grow up to be criminals, say two economists who tracked the life course of young people from high school through early adulthood.
Wow, we had no idea. We suppose this makes Seventeen editor Atoosa Rubenstein's enthusiasm for starvation much less offensive. Clearly, the woman is a crime-fighting vigilante.

As Game of Thrones fans know, winter is coming.
Wait, it's already here. And Santa Fe residents may already have noticed that snow and ice are lingering on some streets far longer than they should, thanks to the city's financial woes.
This raises questions about what city governments are supposed to do for citizens, and how poorly they can do it before a place no longer seems like a city at all.
I live in a subdivision that the snow plowing people say is a Priority 3, out of, let's see, three priorities. That isn't where you want to be on the list, in a department that tells me it has had to shed nine workers since last summer.
For this reason, I've recently had telephone and personal contact with the snowplow people, and while they have been unfailingly polite, they are clearly up against it.
After learning that I live in a Priority 3 neighborhood, which roughly translates to, "We'll get to your street when we've finished watching Longmire," I asked about our side streets.
"We do those as we have time, when we get requests," one official said.
I must have misunderstood him. "You don't automatically plow residential streets when you see snow?"
"No, somebody has to call and put in a request."
Mr. Mayor, let me tell you something very intimate about myself. If there's snow on my street, you may presume I would prefer to have it gone, as soon as possible. I think this requirement for specific citizen requests could get out of hand.
"Hello, Fire Department? My house is on fire!"
"Thank you for calling, sir. Do you have a request?"
"I want you to put the fire out!"
"I'm making a note of your request, sir, but we do have some higher priority conflagrations ahead of you."
A cynic might wonder if the worker assigned to taking requests might be put to better use actually plowing.
You have to question the wisdom of city officials. It's not as though the city shrank in size by 30 percent, rendering many snowplow crews superfluous. We have the same streets we always did. Maybe more.
So why can't the city go ahead and presume every snowy residential street needs to be plowed, unless the residents ask to have their snow left alone? (And who is going to do that except for the criminally insane and landscape artists?)
Those parallel situations just keep popping into my mind. I can't help it.
"Good afternoon. I want to report that no new mail has shown up in my mailbox for two months."
"Well, Mr. Basler, the reason for that is, our records indicate you haven't requested any new mail."
"Hello, Pentagon? I'd like to report Russian tanks are rumbling down Marcy Street this very moment, guns blazing! Oh, the humanity!"
"I see. And do you have a specific request?"

We had a lot of fun lazily strolling around the streets of Key West. I fell in love with all the old houses, the lush greenery, and the offbeat street scenes, of course. (Hello, a trash can for coconuts only!)
Hemingway's casa is right there in the middle of the historic district of downtown Key West, and around the corner from our hotel. This house was so enchanting… big wrap around verandah, large open windows to let the ocean breeze through, and unique mementos from his travels around the world.
I would absolutely love to live at this estate and have my own personal writing room (pictured above). That's where the magic happened, folks.
Hemingway was so focused on his writing that he built this work area in a separate adjacent building to his house. So that he absolutely could not be disturbed by anyone, he had a wire suspension bridge built between his bedroom and the workroom, which was the only way in.
In its day, this estate was considered so luxurious and expensive… I especially enjoyed the custom gold and black decorative tile in the bathroom.
I was actually somewhat surprised that the Hemingway house was so charming. I didn't expect to love it, as I've read tons of Hemingway in my life and formed all these negative opinions about him and his relationship with women. I also read The Paris Wife a while back and really hated him after that. Of course, I know that has nothing to do with his home, but I sort of thought his home would be like a man cave or bachelor pad, but it was a lovely oasis. (he only lived there for 13 years while he was married to his second wife) Once he left, he never returned, which is a real shame.
The next post is all about food… I'm still thinking about that frozen key lime pie on a stick!

The above comment really hits home for me as I have officially turne 60 years of age. Now when I look back at things in the past and of course wish I could change some of them there is one that has been beneficial to me and that is home OWNERSHIP. I really think we all know that and for me even before I was a realtor and that was many years ago, my friends were buying homes. I think all people should explore that option, talk to the right professionals and explore all you options. Please do not be discouraged if for some reason you may not qualify but strive to achieve that and any other goals you may have, Good Luck, Bill

This time the fifth- and sixth-grade Cheetahs had a fight on their hands in order to keep their perfect season intact. The Cheetahs used aggressive defense in order to overcome a six-point Spur halftime lead en route to a 26-16 win Saturday at Langston Hughes Elementary.
It was the tale of two different teams for the Cheetahs. Early in the game, the fast-paced Cheetahs struggled to get on track because of problems with turnovers. However after the half the Cheetahs found their stride and overcame the first-half deficit.
After a week of practice the Cheetahs looked to assert their offense with screens and movement.
"At practice we worked on picking and setting one another up," Cheetah guard Ethan Miles said.
Miles and the Cheetahs used their speed and constant movement to break apart the Spur defense. Miles led the second-half charge with his ability to find the screen, work around it and use the open space to bury the shot. Midway through the third quarter, Miles snuck through the defense and dazzled the fans with a reverse lay up. Defensively, Miles was all over the court, using a quick burst to jump into the passing lanes for the steal.
Point guard Lamonte Ephriam was the offensive force for the Cheetahs. The combination of size, speed, and ability to cut to the basket led to Ephriam's 14 points on the day. Ephriam was not only a scorer but also a playmaker. Ephriam's ability to drive to the basket and draw the double team enabled his teammates to find the open spot.
However, it was the Spurs early on who appeared to play like the undefeated team. Guard Rami Safadi, who like Miles had a motor that never stopped, led the Spurs.
The Spurs' offense was fortunate to have the height and wingspan of Ade Ojeleye, who cleaned up on the boards. Ojeleye was a force down low for the Spurs, tallying eight rebounds with four being offensive.
Despite the strong performance turned in by the Spurs, the Cheetahs' guard play secured the win. Defensive specialist Luke Matthews swarmed the ball, making it difficult for the Spurs to form any presence down low. Matthews was able to contribute offensively with a couple of lay ups and a nice fade-away jumper that secured the win for the Cheetahs.

I know what you're saying: "Rob," you're saying, "It has been a month since Amanda's and your last podcast. What's the occasion?" Which would be an excellent question had Avengers not opened in American theaters last Friday, so asking it makes you look foolish. So stop it. You're better than that.
Here is the pure hell of being editors of a comics Web site: Amanda and I watched Avengers together Saturday afternoon, and rather than discuss it, we agreed to see it again on Sunday… and still not discuss it until we got home and did it into microphones. And discuss it we did; in this Avengers podcast, we discuss:
- The Avengers 3D vs. 2D Experience from the point of view of people getting old with slowly failing vision!
- The Hulk: Great Avenger or Greatest Avenger?
- The Hulk can lift tanks, so why can't he carry his own movie?
- Our Friend, The Thrice-Nightly Screening, or: Why Can't Johnny Edit?
- Black Widow as best developed Avenger (insert your own boob joke here)!
- Hawkeye: Redundant Avenger or Redundant Avenger?
- I Can Has Justis Leeg Moovee Nao?, and:
- AAAvengers: who do we want to bring up from the minors?
As always, if you intend to listen to this at work, we recommend you wear headphones unless you want your boss to hear phrases like, "Lokif***er," "Mjolnir… is not the hammer," or, "You just want a Dirty Ruffalo!" Besides, with headphones, if you listen really close, you can hear two grown comics geeks misidentifying S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Sharon Carter as Ms. Marvel!

Find the perfect place from the worlds best selection of vacation rentals on HomeAway.
Our 2018 property listings offer a large selection of 9,615 vacation rentals near Rome. From 8,022 apartments to 614 houses, find a unique house rental for you to enjoy a memorable stay with your family and friends. The best places to stay near Rome for a holiday or a weekend are on HomeAway.
Like the B-52s said, Rome if you want to—and want to you most certainly will. Everywhere you look in this fabulous capital of Italy, you can see the vibrant intersection of the ancient world and the modern day—you can go from 3,000-year-old structures to cutting-edge art museums in just a few steps. A cosmopolitan city with plenty of live entertainment, chic dining, and contemporary cocktailing, a central Rome vacation rental will also put you close to local landmarks like the Macro Museum, the Pantheon, and the Terme di Caracalla bathhouse.
If there's one thing everyone can agree on about Rome, it's that you'll never be at a loss for something to do. Whether your idea of a good time is window shopping along the Via Condotti or filling up on thin-crust Roman-style pies at the city's plentiful pizzerias, you'll be able to find your heart's desire in Rome. Culture vultures can catch a Fellini retrospective at one of the city's venerable arthouse theaters, or you can head to the vibrant Pigneto neighborhood, where you can check out live music by local bands.
Since you'll be checking off major sites like some jet-setting bingo player, a trip to the city's historic center will put you close to a vast swath of them in one fell swoop. Here, ancient attractions like the Colosseum, the Pantheon, and the Terme di Caracalla rub elbows with loads of other worthwhile (and equally Instagrammable) local landmarks. A short walk, metro ride, or Vespa trip away, the Villa Borghese boasts nearly 200 acres of landscaped gardens, complete with walking paths, lakes, and an art gallery.
Rome has a Mediterranean climate (literally), which means warm, dry summers, and cool winters with regular rainfall; the city also gets more hours of sunlight than most other European destinations. Average summer highs peak around 78 degrees in July and August, while the top winter temperatures hover around 55 between December and February. Winter lows dip into the 30s, so a trip to the Via Condotti could be in order in case you "forget" your winter coat. Since the city is packed during the summer season, you'll find that prices for Rome vacation rentals tend to be lower during the slower, cooler winter months.
Rome is a densely urban city on the banks of the Tiber River, with a number of narrow cobbled streets and old, stone buildings throughout its historic center. Farther out, other neighborhoods and the surrounding suburbs offer more breathing room, with broader thoroughfares and fewer structures. Throughout the hilly city, you'll find plenty of pedestrian-friendly streets, and bikes and mopeds are popular methods of getting around, too. Rome boasts a number of parks, so no matter where your Rome vacation rental lies, you'll never be too far from a tranquil, leafy oasis amid the city's non-stop bustle.

Heard they have only allowed (35) readers for the first leg and the same for Part 2 and 3! Hope we can cook together soon... ;)
During the workshop, participants were paired up with selected top Philippine food bloggers and each pair had the chance to create their own version of the Triple Chocolate Parfait at specially equipped KitchenAid Stations that were purposely set up for the event.
One KitchenAid Hand Mixer was raffled off for the best photo uploaded on Instagram with the official hashtag #YummyKitchenAidEasyRecipes
Using various KitchenAid products, Chef Jackie walked the participants through the processes of creating (3) delectable recipes -

Weldon's Money Monitor
Hawkish or dovish ? Bullish or bearish? Necessary or over-kill ???
Indeed, our long-held core-secular theme comes to light, exemplified in the micro-analysis of today's FOMC pow-wow results, as global markets attempt to decipher the smoke signal rising from the Fed's campground.
It's the spectrum-stretch.
Reflation or deflation? That is the question, and it is the lack of a clear-cut answer that causes the Fed's conundrum.
The stretch, the intensity of the pull from each direction, has never been more intense, than it is right now.
Hawkish is the rate hike, leaning into the wind of dovish hope.
Hawkish is the implication that the Fed will continue to raise rates at a measured pace.
Hawkish is the implication that a potential rise in inflation pressure, emanating from rising energy prices, could be dealt with ala an appropriate policy response. In other words, if inflation gets loose thanks to energy, the Fed reserves the right to raise rates by more than a measured pace.
Hawkish is the thought that unfortunate developments (ie: the single worst natural disaster in the nation's history) does not pose a more persistent threat.
Hawkish 4 ... Dovish 0.
But, hold the press, the doves are making a strong comeback bid, amid the later-news-wire revelation that the Fed was not unanimous in its decision to raise interest rates.
There was ... gasp ... a dissenting voice.
This holds out hope to the doves, yes ?
Hope, that the Fed will be swayed away from further rate hikes, thus rekindling reflationary sugar-plums dancing in the heads of global equity and housing markets ... if ... the Fed is beginning to shift towards the dovish side, right ?
In fact, potentially, maybe, could be ... way wrong.
What we see here ... is a crack, a division in the Fed, at the worst possible inflection point in its history, amid the impending departure of Alan Greenspan, who has cemented the Fed's opinion into one single voice, his.
Moreover, we might go so far as to suggest that the mention of the potential increase in inflation pressure that could emanate from the action in energy prices, could be meant to appease hawks on the FOMC who are likely arguing for inflation vigilance.
Hence, what appears as hope ... could be a crack in the Fed's solidarity, at least as presented by its ultimate puppet-master. A Fed policy-puppet, with strings being pulled in a variety of different directions as a result of dissenting opinion made public ... could be disastrous for confidence, when confidence is feeble at best.
Let's talk catalyst ... for a serious retrenchment in the US consumer ... in the form of a Fed that is divided, publicly.
Hawkish wins, but confusion is about to reign.
Again, we continue to keep the technical spotlight on the evolving upside breakout in gold and mining shares relative to the broader US stock market.
Indeed, this is usually an ominous sign for US stocks.
We need only two words, a question, we ask you ... "Got Gold" ?
How about, gold stocks, as we note the simple facts of life in the bullion sector, as per the progressive-bullish structure of the inner-sector, inter-market dynamic. In other words, the market is set up such that ...
... Gold is rallying in USD terms ...
... and ... gold is rallying, at the same time, against almost every other currency in the world ...
... while ... the Philly Gold and Silver Index (XAU) is beginning to outperform the underlying bullion market ...
... and ... the AMEX Gold Bug Index (HUI) of unhedged gold-specific mining shares is leading the XAU higher, while outperforming bullion by a greater magnitude than is the Philly index.
AND NOW ... the icing on the cake ... as gold, along with both hedged, and unhedged mining shares, are breaking out, and outperforming the broad U.S. stock market...
... implying a secular, big-bigger-picture dynamic, as per the continuation of the new bull market in gold, versus all paper currencies, specifically the monetarily reflated U.S. equity market 'paper-currency' as a whole.
Note the charts below, first revealing the sharp upside breakout and trend reversal in the XAU / S+P 500 Index Ratio, seen directly below ... and ...
... the potential major move underway, as per the upside violation of the 15-year downtrend line, following a text-book 50% Fibonacci retracement of the first bull wave from the 2000-01 secular low in gold, relative to stocks.
We conclude with two final words, we ask, again ...got gold ???
