There are two kinds of men in the world – those who know that they don't know what is on a girl's mind, and those who don't know that they don't know. On the other hand, there are two types of women in the world – those who are quietly satisfied about the fact that men know nothing about them, and those who get increasingly frustrated about the fact that men know nothing about them. I had my feet firmly planted in the first category of men, while Reva quite clearly belonged to the second category of women. So, it wouldn't have taken an overpriced psychologist to predict that Reva and myself were never really on the same wavelength. Ever.

Six weeks to go and one room done!!! Well, that's not really fair to say. They're all livable except the living room, but I've actually finished all the plans I came up with for one room! And I'm trying not to add to that list at this point, just so I can bask in the done-ness of my to-do list. So here's what happened:
This room went from living space to office space. It gets used SO much more now! We really didn't need two couches, so moving the real couch to the main living room and the desks out here is working for us. And, I feel like I'm more centrally located, so when I check to see who im'd me in the middle of playing legos, I'm only cut off from the game for a minute or two, instead of being back in the blue room. When I moved the black desk in here, I took care of a few organizational issues my favorite way… New baskets!
That little area in the black table that is actually for a vcr was a magnet for clutter… now it's nicely concealed in the cute white baskets from Target. Oh, and I actually wrote on my to-do list to remove the tags from the baskets… both the new ones and ones I bought six and 12 months ago… apparently all I found it necessary to do was rotate them so the tags were against the wall and forget about them. =) And I got some plastic tubs for the inside so that all the stuff I piled next to the printer was contained. It's mostly educational games and toys that we only get out occasionally, like our pumpkin game.
I really don't like any of the woodwork in my kitchen, but I thought of something fun to do with the island. I bought a white dry-erase board with a nice black frame and used super duper Velcro to attach it to the wall. Now we have a nice little space to color together! Serenity's even getting pretty good at putting the lids back on =) She's getting a lot better at writing and making deliberate shapes, but we're miles away from actual letters and such, I wonder when that happens?
And then the final item on my to-do list for this space… concealing all the cords under the desk! Serenity's not that interested in them, but I hated the look of it and I'm sure the new baby would have been curious about that pile of twisty cords and electricity. So I hung a simple black curtain up to hide them. It's just stuck to the underside of my desk with the magic double stick Velcro, so it'll be easy to take off or take down if Eric needs to work with the cords. I say Eric because I'm not crawling under there again for at least the next six weeks, it was a tight squeeze ;)

There is something to say for God's work in me over the course of my time at Boots and Hearts Music Festival.
There is a lot to say, actually.
But shortly and boldly: He is great. Nothing is impossible with Him.
I prayed over a lot while at my time there. I prayed for the artists, for my friends, for Johnny, for my family. I prayed over the place and I prayed that God would shine a light in me and through me.
Now, every time since my anorexia developed that I have tried to incorporate other foods, foods that "scared" me, my stomach didn't agree just as much as my disorder didn't. That would be a push to stop. But at Boots and Hearts, I ate Freezies, I ate white bread, I ate chips.
My stomach was fine. My stomach even growled. I told Krystal, my big sister, multiple times, I think I'm hungry. I think I need to eat something. And by God's grace I just would. There was a moment I was chillen at our campsite eating tortilla chips with salsa, casually drinking my favourite drink (vodka and Diet Coke) thinking, God thank-you, thank-you that you are working to do what I never could do on my own.
My soul is weary with sorrow. Strengthen me according to your word. PSALM 119:28
In my conversations, He lit the path to righteousness. And sometimes that involved talking about His good name; other tims it involved enjoying a beer with friends without thinking about the calories; always He got my praise and thanks, and I knew in the midst of what could have been a stressful atmosphere He had given me peace beyond words.
I think I'll be seein ya next year, Boots and Hearts. 👢❤

Well, well, well, a Reddit user has apparently found some House of Wolves content in-game and according to a screenshot he posted (which you can see above), the next DLC promises to add a bunch of content to the game.
The description reads:
The Queen's Fallen have purchased their freedom with Awoken Blood. Hunt down the traitors and your debt to the queen will be paid.
"What debt?"
You will need to play through the base story to know that. The description also adds that there will be "hundreds of new weapons, armor and gear" a new raid, three crucible maps and a strike.
Most of the datamined info can be found in the link, but what's interesting is that the user says the DLC will come out on May 19th.
Since the first DLC, The Dark Below, came out on December, May is an awful long time to wait for new content.
The Nightfall strike has been bumped up to 32 which is logical and the level cap will probably be raised to level 34.
Tell us what you think in the comments section below.

I have started a new endeavor...
UnFables (name subject to change)
I will be drawing a fable every day. The lesson, sadly, can be lost by the subjects.
UnFable #1: The Fox and the Grapes
Original: ONE hot summer's day a Fox was strolling through an orchard till he came to a bunch of Grapes just ripening on a vine which had been trained over a lofty branch. "Just the things to quench my thirst," quoth he. Drawing back a few paces, he took a run and a jump, and just missed the bunch. Turning round again with a One, Two, Three, he jumped up, but with no greater success. Again and again he tried after the tempting morsel, but at last had to give it up, and walked away with his nose in the air, saying: "I am sure they are sour."
Well... he got the grapes...

In Killology, players are rewarded for torturing victims, scoring points for "creativity".
But Killology isn't sick. In fact it's marketed by its millionaire creator as a deeply moral experience. Because yes, you can live out your darkest fantasies, but you don't escape their consequences.
Out on the streets, not everybody agrees with him.
"There is an instinctive revulsion against taking a human life. And that revulsion can be conquered."
'Killology bills itself as being about a shockingly violent video game, but this is really by-the-by. It could have been called 'Violence & Sons', being a play about the terrible, damaging gap that fathers can leave via their absence, physical or otherwise... a faced-paced, deeply troubling affair that thrums and crackles with the horrible thrill of violence. It is shown as a sort of drug to numb emotional pain; but the play is not afraid to embrace its adrenalinised thrill, either. Certainly Owen is too smart to cobble together some trite universal thesis about how violence only comes from a lack of paternal love: there are far nastier characters in Killology – only described – whose lives and motives remain unknowable... Owen writes remarkably as ever, with exquisite tenderness and seductive savagery.' Time Out ★★★★
'A Masterpiece' ★★★★★ Buzz Magazine
'interconnected stories swirl around each other in the monologues in this heartbreaking, painful three-hander... Owen's jaggedly tender script plays with fantasy and reality, and like an online game it offers alternate possibilities as it explores what really happens alongside what could have happened... More than one kind of revenge is played out in this gripping evening, which never shirks the terror of love – particularly parental love – and which connects fatherhood and taking care of family with looking after each other in the wider community. It's an open wound of a play – raw and sore – but full of compassion too.' Lyn Gardner, The Guardian ★★★★★
'If Gary Owen's new play Killology shares one thing in common with his acclaimed Iphigenia in Splott, it is a fierce compassion and respect for the neglected and overlooked... While tension, testosterone and aggression all feature, the real focus is on fatherhood and legacy... Gary Owen's intelligent new play unpicks a destructive father-son relationship with precision and empathy.' The Stage ★★★★
'Confronting us with three male characters who mostly speak in monologues, Killology is haunted by the responsibilities and failures of fatherhood about which it is heartbreakingly eloquent... [it] is a subtle and searching examination of the obligations of father to son and vice versa. The stories are interrelated but there is also an aching sense of disconnection... Strongly recommended.' The Independent ★★★★

" . . . recommend to the whole population of the State that they lay aside their usual avocations, and come together to consecrate this day for ever [sic] to the cause of popular freedom, by eulogistic speech, martial airs, and solemn procession. Let us add our contributions to the offerings of our citizen soldiery. Let us tenderly and lovingly lay the flowers of early spring upon the graves of our sons, and place above their ashes the flag, which, living, they covered with imperishable luster. Let us recall the virtues and the deeds of those who sleep where they fell in the hour of battle . . ."
The Civil War's scale of participation and loss, the manner of death and disappearance, and the social context during which it all occurred influenced how mourning was perceived and carried out during and after the war years. How does an activity as personal as mourning the death of a loved one become, eventually, a national movement?
|"The Soldier's Memorial," New York, NY. Lithograph created by
Currier & Ives, ca. 1863. From the collection of the Library of
Congress, http://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/91732572/,
accessed on May 9, 2012.
By any standards, the death toll in the Civil War was immense. It has been a long-held truth that approximately 620,000 soldiers died in the Civil War, about the number killed in the seven wars between the Revolutionary War to the Korean War combined. Recent research reveals a new estimate of Civil War dead – 750,000 – 20% higher than previously believed.
Of approximately 33,000 soldiers who joined New Hampshire units (about 10% of the State's total population in 1860), approximately 4,300 died on the battlefield, shortly thereafter of mortal wounds, or of disease. About 13% of those who left their homes and families to join the Union cause were known to have lost their lives. The status of another 1,600 or so soldiers, 5%, were never accounted for or known by the military or their families.
Death and Disappearance
Intimate experience with death was not a concept foreign to 19th century Americans. Before the war, dying often occurred at home surrounded by loved ones. Family witnessed the dying one's final moments and cared for their final needs before internment, infusing the death experience itself with religious and cultural meaning.
The scope and circumstance of death during the war drastically changed. Far from home and family many died unattended, contrary to the manner that meant so much to them. In addition, many died unidentified or were hastily buried in undocumented mass graves, leaving their fates and the nature of their final moments unknown.
The town of Milford sent 196 men to the war, 60 (31%) of whom died. Of the 60 who died, "forty of these were never brought home to be buried;" and "all supposed to be dead" of the five who were reported missing (Ramsdell 1901: 141-143). Milford also lost a young nurse, Carrie Cutter, who died at the age of twenty from disease contracted while caring for soldiers (Wright 1979: 15).

Decoration Day
As logistics and circumstance made individual care of the dead more difficult, the Civil War spurred a number of national activities related to the collective care and memory of the country's war dead that continue to this day. Although initially carried out differently through the North and the South, formally and informally, the war led to the establishment of a national cemetery system and a national day of remembrance.
Women in the South began decorating the graves of soldiers with flowers before the war was over, and towns in the North began observing formal occasions for decorating the graves of war dead. Decoration Day – so named in reference to these early activities – eventually evolved into the holiday we know today as Memorial Day.

In 1881, New Hampshire Governor Natt Head issued a proclamation that formally established the holiday in this state. While some states still follow other Memorial Day traditions, New Hampshire currently observes the holiday on the last Monday in May, following a change by federal law in 1971 that also broadened the honor of the holiday to all soldiers who died in American wars.

Hampshire State House. It is displayed there on the third floor.

APX Group Holdings, Inc. is the parent holding company and 100% owner of Vivint, Inc., a leading provider of smart home technology.
Full Year 2015 Highlights
Quarter 2015 Highlights
PROVO, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
APX Group Holdings, Inc. ("APX Group," "Vivint Smart Home,"
"Vivint" or the "Company") today reported financial and operational
results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2015.
"We had a remarkable 2015 that firmly secured us as the smart home
provider of choice," said Todd Pedersen, CEO of APX Group. "In adding a
record 236,562 net new subscribers, we surpassed one million customers
and 78% of our new customers chose advanced smart home products and
services. Both of our sales channels demonstrated strong growth; in
particular, inside sales grew 34.2% for the year and exited fourth
quarter with a 53.1% year-over-year growth rate. In terms of innovation,
2015 marked the launch of a two-way doorbell camera, Vivint's personal
cloud storage solution was brought to market, which now has over 88
petabytes of data storage in the network, and our Sky Smart Home cloud
platform is generating and processing 280 million pieces of data per
day." Mr. Pedersen continued, "We carried this momentum into the 2016
Consumer Electronics Show, where Vivint received numerous industry and
media awards as a leading smart home technology platform. We are very
much looking forward to 2016 as another successful year."
Revenue and Subscriber Data
Total revenues for the fourth quarter increased 14.8% to $175.0 million
over the same period in 2014. The increase in total revenues was a
result of a 16.7% growth in recurring revenue, higher Average RMR per
Subscriber, and a reduction in refunds and credits of $1.9 million. The
increase in Total Revenues was negatively impacted by foreign exchange
rates and a decrease in service and other revenues.
The Company added 33,162 net new smart home subscribers in the fourth
quarter of 2015, a 53.9% increase compared to 21,545 in the fourth
quarter of 2014. Inside sales originated an all-time record of 21,965
net new smart home subscribers in the fourth quarter, up 53.1% as
compared to the fourth quarter 2014.
Total revenues in 2015, were up 16.0% to a record $653.7 million.
Normalized for an $8.3 million year over year negative foreign exchange
impact, total revenues grew 17.4%. The increase in total revenues was
primarily driven by a 13.4% increase in Total Subscribers. Additionally,
customer credits decreased by $7.8 million year over year primarily from
customer experience improvements which were driven through our new CRM
and billing platform.
The Company added a record 236,562 net new smart home subscribers in
2015, including 65,871 from its inside sales channel, up 15.7% and
34.2%, respectively, over 2014. Adoption of advanced smart home services
for the year was 78.0% producing an Average RMR per New Subscriber of

"Strategic execution is driving differentiated results, highlighted by
25.1% growth in Adjusted EBITDA on 16.0% growth of total revenues," said
Mark Davies, CFO of APX Group. "Vivint's integrated platform, which
includes complete control of our cloud operating system, hardware,
sales, installation, and service, is driving operational efficiency,
improved customer satisfaction, and lower attrition. More specifically,
Net Service Cost per Subscriber dropped from $15.65 in 2014 to $14.33,
driving Net Service Margin to a record 73.8% in 2015 versus 71.3% in
2014, and attrition dropped 30 bps year over year to 12.2%. I'm also
pleased with the scale we're seeing in our previous R&D, IT and
marketing investments. We expect these structural initiatives will
provide a sustaining foundation for continued productivity into 2016 and
Costs and Expenses
Operating expenses for the fourth quarter decreased 7.5% to $56.9
million. The decrease in operating expenses in the quarter was primarily
related to lower equipment and third-party monitoring costs in our smart
home business. The repositioning of the wireless internet business also
contributed to the lower operating expenses in the quarter.
Operating expenses in 2015 were $228.3 million compared to $202.8
million in 2014. Excluding the operating expenses directly associated
with the wireless internet business, operating expenses increased $12.9
million or 6.4%, while the subscriber portfolio grew by 13.4% in 2015.
The $12.9 million increase in operating expenses was attributable to
growth in the subscriber base, including equipment cost and personnel
costs within our monitoring, customer support and field service
functions. Net Service Costs per Subscriber in 2015 decreased $1.32 per
month to $14.33, driving a Net Service Margin of 73.8% for the year.
Selling expenses, net of capitalized subscriber acquisition costs, for
the fourth quarter of 2015 were $33.2 million compared to $26.2 million
for the same quarter in 2014. The 26.7% year-over-year increase was
primarily related to digital marketing lead generation costs to support
the 53.1% growth in net new smart home subscribers through the inside
sales channel.
Selling expenses, net of capitalized subscriber acquisition costs, were
$122.9 million in 2015 compared to $107.4 million in 2014. The 14.4%
year-over-year increase was primarily attributable to higher personnel
and digital marketing lead generation costs associated with the 34.2%
growth of net new smart home subscribers from our inside sales channel.
The Company's Net Creation Cost Multiple for 2015, excluding all costs
associated with new subscriber originations in the wireless internet
business, improved 40 basis points over 2014 to 30.9x.
General and administrative ("G&A") expenses, net of allocations, for the
fourth quarter were $36.4 million compared to $33.8 for the fourth
quarter 2014. The year-over-year increase in the quarter was primarily
due to an increase in legal and professional services. The increase was
offset by lower spending on brand marketing and in the wireless internet
G&A expenses, net of allocations, decreased by 15.0% to $107.2 million
in 2015 compared to $126.1 million in 2014. The $18.9 million decrease
in G&A includes a $12.2 million one-time non-cash gain on settlement of
merger-related transaction expenses released from escrow and recorded in
the second quarter of 2015. Excluding the gain on settlement, G&A
decreased 5.3% from year-over-year reductions in brand marketing and IT
Adjusted EBITDA – Net Loss
Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2015 grew 20.7% to $101.5
million on a net loss of $62.4 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of
$84.1 million on a net loss of $65.6 million for the fourth quarter of
Full year Adjusted EBITDA was up 25.1% to $387.1 million on a net loss
of $279.1 million. The net loss of $279.1 million included $59.2 million
of restructuring and asset impairment charges related to the
repositioning of the Company's wireless internet business. Excluding the
impact of the wireless internet restructuring and asset impairment
charges, net loss for 2015 would have been $219.9 million compared to a
net loss of $238.7 million in 2014.
As of December 31, 2015, the Company's liquidity position on a
consolidated basis, defined as cash on hand, marketable securities and
available borrowing capacity under the Company's revolving credit
facility, was approximately $267 million.
Certain Credit Statistics
Our net leverage ratio, defined as the ratio of net debt to LTM Adjusted
EBITDA, was 5.6x at December 31, 2015.

forward-looking statements. These statements are based on the beliefs
and assumptions of our management. Although we believe that our plans,
intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by these
forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that we

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. You should
not put undue reliance on these statements which speak only as of this
date hereof. You should understand that the following important factors,

annual report on Form 10-K, and other reports filed with the Securities
Exchange Commission ("SEC"), as such factors may be updated from time to

SEC's website at www.sec.gov, could affect our future results and could
cause those results or other outcomes to differ materially from those
expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements:
In addition, the origination and retention of new subscribers will
depend on various factors, including, but not limited to, market
availability, subscriber interest, the availability of suitable
components, the negotiation of acceptable contract terms with
subscribers, local permitting, licensing and regulatory compliance, and
our ability to manage anticipated expansion and to hire, train and
retain personnel, the financial viability of subscribers and general
economic conditions.
These and other factors that could cause actual results to differ from
those implied by the forward-looking statements in this press release
are more fully described in the "Risk Factors" section in our most
recent annual report on Form 10-K, and other reports as such factors may
be updated from time to time in our periodic filings with the SEC. These
risk factors should not be construed as exhaustive. We undertake no
obligations to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements,
whether a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except
as required by law.
Certain Definitions
The following definitions are used in this press release for purposes of
describing the results in our home security and automation business and
except where noted, exclude our wireless internet business.
"Total Subscribers" means the aggregate number of active smart home and
security subscribers at the end of a given period.
"RMR" means the recurring monthly revenue billed to a smart home and
security subscriber.
"Total RMR" means the aggregate RMR billed to all smart home and
security subscribers.
"Average RMR per Subscriber" means the Total RMR divided by Total
Subscribers. This is also commonly referred to as Average Revenue per
User, or "ARPU."
"Average RMR per New Subscriber" means the aggregate RMR for new
subscribers originated during a period divided by the number of new
subscribers originated during such period.
"Attrition" means the aggregate number of canceled smart home and
security subscribers during a period divided by the monthly weighted
average number of total smart home and security subscribers for such
period. Subscribers are considered canceled when they terminate in
accordance with the terms of their contract, are terminated by the
Company, or if payment from such subscribers is deemed uncollectible
(when at least four monthly billings become past due). Sales of
contracts to third parties and certain moves are excluded from the
attrition calculation.
"Net Subscriber Acquisition Costs" means direct and indirect costs to
create a new smart home and security subscriber. These include
commissions, equipment, installation, marketing and other allocations
(G&A and overhead), less activation fees and up sell revenue. These
costs also exclude residuals and long-term equity expenses associated
with the direct-to-home sales channel.
"Net Creation Cost Multiple" means total Net Subscriber Acquisition
Costs, divided by the number of new subscribers originated, and then
divided by the Average RMR per New Subscriber.
"Net Service Cost per Subscriber" means total service costs, including

1 This earning release includes Adjusted EBITDA, a metric
that is not calculated in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles in the U.S. ("GAAP"). See the "Statement Regarding Non-GAAP
Financial Measures" section at the end of this earnings release for the
definition of Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation to its most directly
comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP.
APX Group Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Statement Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This earnings release includes Adjusted EBITDA, which is a supplemental
measure that is not required by, or presented in accordance with,
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP").
"Adjusted EBITDA" is defined as net income (loss) before interest
expense (net of interest income), income and franchise taxes and
depreciation and amortization (including amortization of capitalized
subscriber acquisition costs), further adjusted to exclude the effects
of certain contract sales to third parties, non-capitalized subscriber
acquisition costs, stock based compensation, the historical results of
Solar and certain unusual, non-cash, non-recurring and other items
permitted in certain covenant calculations under the indentures
governing our notes and the credit agreement governing our revolving
credit facility.
We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate to
provide additional information to investors about the calculation of,
and compliance with, certain financial covenants in the indentures
governing our notes and the credit agreement governing our revolving
credit facility. We caution investors that amounts presented in
accordance with our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable
to similar measures disclosed by other issuers, because not all issuers
and analysts calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of our financial performance under
GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss)
or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as
an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of
our liquidity.
See the following table for a quantitative reconciliation of Adjusted
EBITDA to Net Loss, which we believe is the most comparable financial
measure calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Three Months Ended
Reflects subscriber acquisition costs that are expensed as
incurred because they are not directly related to the acquisition
of specific subscribers. Certain other industry participants
purchase subscribers through subscriber contract purchases and, as
a result, may capitalize the full cost to purchase these
subscriber contracts, as compared to our organic generation of new
subscribers, which requires us to expense a portion of our
subscriber acquisition costs under GAAP.

Off to the Cape
Every year my in-laws go to the Cape (Cape Cod, MA). They manage to pull my wife who manages to pull me along for the ride.
It was pretty miserable until I finally convinced the clan that air conditioning wasn't a privilege but a requirement. Now I kinda look forward to it every year, though not nearly as much as my wife.
11 hours in the car tomorrow with four adults and two children under the age of 3. Yikes! I hope it's worth it.

Posted on Dec 2, 2016
Reflecting on 2016
This past year saw tremendous economic pain and anxiety in our province due to the global collapse in the price of oil. This left Albertans with a choice. We could cut public services, slash spending on schools, hospitals and roads, and fire thousands of front-line workers, or, we could choose to control spending and protect vital public services, while creating new jobs and diversifying our economy.
With the adoption of Budget 2016 and the Alberta Jobs Plan, our government has worked to encourage job creation, business capital investment, and economic diversification. Increasing the minimum wage from $11.20 to $12.20 brings workers closer to a living wage, which benefits us all.
Alberta is Canada's best place for entrepreneurs and we're providing supports they've asked for by creating an Alberta Investor Tax Credit of 30%, and doubling supports to help small businesses plan, develop, test and prototype technology products. Starting January 1, 2017 the Small Business Tax will be cut from 3% to 2% - the lowest overall in Canada.
As of January 1, Alberta's carbon pricing policy will be implemented, starting at a price of $20 per tonne of carbon emissions, rising to $30 per tonne in 2018. This levy will be included in the price of all fuels that emit greenhouse gases when combusted. It will not, however, apply directly to consumer purchases of electricity. 60% of Albertans will receive a rebate that will cover the average cost of the levy. Energy Efficiency Alberta will be launched in early 2017 to aid Albertans in reducing their carbon footprint.
In May of this year we witnessed the largest wildfire evacuation in our province's history, as nearly 590,000 hectares north of us and 88,000 people were evacuated from Fort McMurray. As 2016 draws to a close, the heroism and bravery of the first responders, fire fighters and countless volunteers comes to mind. Almost 12,000 individuals were directly involved in the wildfire emergency effort, and countless others from across the province continue to lend a hand during ongoing recovery efforts. The scale of the fire and evacuation efforts is unprecedented, but the response from the community exemplified who we are as a province.
I look forward to the work that awaits us in 2017, and welcome your thoughts and comments at any time. We will continue to work hard to protect Albertans, create jobs, and diversify our economy. I wish you and your family a happy holiday season with time for reflection and celebration, and a very happy new year.

A Reversal Coming To U.S. Major Stock Indexes?Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017 Aug 01, 2017 - 06:21 PM GMT
Technically speaking, this week could be very important for the major U.S. equity markets. There is an appearance of a "TOPPING PATTERN" forming. I am now awaiting confirmation by the actions of the equity markets, this week. Expect downward pressure beginning this month of August of 2017.
The Only Chart You Need To See!
There is currently limited upside potential in the SPX relative to potential downside for the months of August, September and the early part of October 2017. There are signs for the short, intermediate and longer-term trends returning for the best six months of trading officially inaugurated in November of 2017! This is the timing framework when 'The Next Runaway Leg Up In The Stock Market Will Resume.'
In last weeks' market action as the profit taking rotation out of the high-tech sector rotated into the Dow Industrials, it reflected a more defensive approach while being invested in "Blue Chips" during which time it achieved a new high. Sector rotation increased especially noticeable in the transports and technology sectors that were leading the markets higher. If they continue lower, more sectors will join the decline. I am expecting a coming pop in the VIX on Aug 4, Aug 23, Sept 11 or 12 and finally Sept 28 or 29. 2017. There was a flight to safety in the Yen as well as a strengthening of the price of Gold, Silver, Bitcoin and WTI Crude Oil.
An Unusual Anomaly:
Over the past couple of weeks, there was this unusual Anomaly which occurred, as you can see in the chart below. It now makes me more cautious about our long understanding of "risk inter-connectivity".
How can the equity, gold, silver, crude oil and bitcoin markets ALL go HIGHER together?
Tune in every morning for my video analysis and market forecasts at TheGoldAndOilGuy.com to now where the main 'asset classes' are headed tomorrow, this week, and next month.
In short, the major equities trend remains to the upside but its likely to take shape in a slow grinding process with downward pressure starting in August fora couple months.

This Thursday I was invited to the Opening from the Open Lounge at the Holiday Inn. They presented a new concept of their hotel, the new concept unites reception, lobby, business center, bar and restaurant in one place to create a living room atmosphere.
Holiday Inn had 9 stations to show us, what we can expect in that living room concept. They had a beer stand, salad bar, burger bar, play station with Wii U and a PS4, a wine bar, a cocktail bar, a Starbucks corner and a corner with little food bites. My friend, who accompanied me, and I, we tried everything out and I have to say: the food is really good! Holiday Inn Munich wants to offer their guests food and beverages from our region, so there was a selection of beers and food you know from the Munich beer fest. But they also offer other snacks too and they are delicious!
The event was also attended by a music band, but it wasn't too loud like in a bar, it was really more relaxing and an atmosphere to connect with new people. I got to know Sissi from the blog Bananenschneckerl and she is such a nice and fun person! We hung out together from the beginning until the end, but my friend and I left before her.
All in all it is a good concept to combine the spaces, so you can work, relax and eat in one place.
If you are planning on visiting Munich over the weekend – I am giving away a coupon for two overnights at the Holiday Inn Munich City Center including breakfast for two!

In the being he states that scientist believe in animal experimentation for its natural medical process.

Elizabeth Bates (July 26, 1947 – December 13, 2003) was a Professor of psychology and cognitive science at the University of California, San Diego. She was an internationally renowned expert and leading researcher in child language acquisition, psycholinguistics, and the neurological bases of language, and she authored 10 books and over 200 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters on these subjects.[1] Bates was well known for her assertion that linguistic knowledge is distributed throughout the brain and is subserved by general cognitive and neurological processes.
Bates earned a B.A. from St. Louis University in 1968, and an M.A. and PhD in human development from the University of Chicago in 1971 and 1974, respectively.
She was employed as a tenure-track professor at the University of Colorado from 1974-1981 before joining the faculty of the University of California, San Diego, where she worked until 2002.[citation needed] Bates was one of the founders of the Department of Cognitive Science at UCSD, the first department of its kind in the USA. She was also the director of the UCSD Center of Research in Language and the co-director of the San Diego State University/UCSD Joint Doctoral Program in Language and Communication Disorders. Bates also served as a visiting professor at the University of California, Berkeley in 1976-1977 and at the National Research Council Institute of Psychology in Rome on a regular basis.[citation needed]
On December 13, 2003, Elizabeth Bates died, after a courageous year-long struggle with pancreatic cancer. In passing away, Liz leaves an enormous hole, both in the field and in the lives of her many friends. But she leaves an enormous legacy as well. Over the course of more than thirty years, Liz established herself as a world leader in a number of fields – child development, language acquisition, aphasia research, cross-linguistic research, and adult psycho linguistics. She was passionate about science and about ideas. Fearless and bold in following these ideas wherever they took her, and unafraid of controversy, Liz inspired many to follow in her footsteps.[2] She is survived by her husband and daughter, George and Julia Carnevale.
The Elizabeth Bates Graduate Research Fund was established at UCSD in her memory to assist graduate students' research.[citation needed]
In general terms, Bates was an authority on how the brain processes language. More specifically, Bates' research focused on child language acquisition, cross-linguistic language processing, and aphasia, investigating the cognitive, neural, and social factors subserving these processes. Through her research, Bates demonstrated that neural plasticity allows children with trauma to Broca's and Wernicke's areas to learn and use language normally.[citation needed]. Research in her lab also showed that adult aphasic patients' deficits were not specific to linguistic structures theorized to be localized to specific brain areas,[3] nor were they restricted to the linguistic domain.[4]
Some of Bates's other major contributions included demonstrating that distinct characteristics of different languages determine the way that the brain organizes this information and incorporates it during development, adulthood, and in cases of disease, and illuminating the profound and lasting links between language and evolutionarily more ancient non-linguistic skills. With Brian MacWhinney, Bates developed a model of language processing called the competition model, which views language acquisition as an emergentist phenomenon that results from competition between lexical items, phonological forms, and syntactic patterns, accounting for language processing on the synchronic, ontogenetic, and phylogenetic time scales.[citation needed]
Bates was well known for her belief that linguistic knowledge is distributed throughout the brain, rather than in one center for language development, and that language is dependent upon basic cognitive processes such as memory, pattern recognition, and spreading activation. This perspective runs counter to the theory of Noam Chomsky, Eric Lenneberg, and Steven Pinker that language is a special stimulus that is processed by a specialized language module in the mind, which can be localized to Broca's and Wernicke's areas.[citation needed]
Frequent sparring between the two sides, one based in California, the other in Massachusetts, led to the aphorism that much of cognitive neuroscience lay within the dynamic pull of a west pole and an east pole. Jeffrey Elman, a colleague of Bates, called her the "queen of the west pole".[5]

May 401(k) loans be suspended when an employee is on military leave?
May 401(k) loans be suspended when an employee is on military leave?
One of your employees is on leave to serve in the military, and you are not sure how to handle her 401(k) plan loan. Can you suspend her loan repayments during the period of military leave?
A 401(k) plan may (but is not required to) permit a participant to suspend loan repayments during a leave of absence for military service. When loan repayments are suspended, the usual level amortization requirement is not violated even if the suspension exceeds one year and even if the term of the loan is extended beyond the statutory maximum period limit.
Loan repayments must resume upon completion of military service, and the frequency and amount of periodic installments may not be less than what was required under the terms of the original loan. The loan must be repaid in full (including interest that accrues during the period of military service) by the latest date permitted under the rules. This is typically five years, assuming the loan was not made for a principal residence, plus the period of military service.
Limit on interest rate charged. A maximum interest rate of 6 percent may be charged on a loan during a period of military service. A loan is subject to the interest rate limitation if:
(1) the loan was incurred prior to the military service; and
(2) the participant provides the plan with a written notice and a copy of the military orders within 180 days after the date of the participant's release or termination from military service.
Interest exceeding 6 percent must be forgiven. Note that "interest" includes service charges, renewal charges, fees, and any other charges (except bona fide insurance).
Adjustment may be necessary. If loan repayments are suspended during military leave, the plan must make an appropriate interest adjustment to the beginning of the military service. If, at the time notice is given, payments at a higher rate have already been made during the participant's period of service, the plan must make an appropriate adjustment (such as considering any excess payments as a prepayment of future interest).

This article is part of our Rising Star Portfolios series.
True, Timberland's trading at 24 times earnings, far higher than the trailing multiples attached to rival shoe companies like Steve Madden
Here's my hold rationale: I'd still believe that Timberland's future remains bright, whether its stock price went up, down, or sideways since November. It possesses a well-known brand name, and more importantly, big ideas. At 1.24, its PEG ratio makes the stock seem reasonably valued compared to growth predictions. I also suspect that analysts haven't fully figured Timberland's competitive strengths into their estimates, so that ratio may not adequately reflect the growth Timberland's got coming. In other words, the company could be even cheaper than it looks now.
I designed this portfolio to be inspired by socially responsible, or impact, investing; it's also meant to reflect being a stock buyer, not a renter. I'd rather not sell unless a stock seems insanely overvalued -- in which case the money might be better utilized elsewhere -- or if something seems to have gone very wrong with a company's business prospects. I plan to do my best to practice the art of patient stockholding, even if the ride occasionally gets a bit bumpy.
When I bought shares of Timberland for this portfolio, I never tried to argue that its price would double in such a short time. I bought Timberland because its management pursued a green, environmentally conscious ethos far before that thinking was "hip." Timberland has held that authenticity in its corporate DNA for years; its pioneering attitude carries greater weight than any desire for a quick double.

Religious Hope
In my hospice ministry, the majority of people I serve identify themselves as some sort of Christian. And most of those are Protestant. It may have been 30 years since they darkened the door of a church, but they believe in God and heaven and express hope in going there. When you are facing death, this belief is quite helpful. When you life is measured in days or hours, there is not much left on earth to hope for.
About 20% of my patients are Catholics. They may be active in a parish, or may not have attended mass since their Confirmation, but either way they often want "last rites" when the end is near. By the way, if you are Catholic and reading this, please tell all your friends that since Vatican II the rite is has been called "The Anointing of the Sick" and is a blessing and prayer for healing. It is risky to put it off to the last minute. Not only is the sick person is missing out on what can be a beautiful sacrament, you may have to scramble to find a priest. If it is outside business hours, Good Luck! Many parishes don't have answering services. And even if you do, not all priests are willing to make the visit if they don't know you.
Those of my patients that are not religious are typically secular. Despite what you hear in conservative churches, most people are not turning to "New Age" religions. People just sort of end up "undefined" without a formalized worldview. They either believe in God or a Higher Power or they don't. We die the way we live.
It doesn't really matter to me what people choose to believe. I just hope they have some hope. I find our thoughts are often our greatest source of pain. Sometimes religious thoughts cause suffering. Even religious people can have an idea "I hope God forgives me."
One man recently told me, "I'm so afraid. My girlfriend is not right with the Lord." This image of God, as judge, is consistent with the Bible. The Bible promises a final righting of the scales. The wicked (unbelieving goats) will be sent to the left into eternal fire and pain, the just (believing sheep) will be sent to the right into paradise.
I join people where they are. I don't try to change anyone's religion, but point them to some source of hope within their tradition. Christians need to be reminded of God's mercy and love. They don't need to hear anything about God's wrath at that point.
What I do say to people is this. What you see now, what is important to you now as you get close to life's end, is what is really important. Don't forget what you learn here. Don't ever go back to "normal."
At the end of your life you won't be thinking about how much you made or what you did. You will be thinking about your family and friends. And hopefully, they will be there for you when it is your turn to die. It all depends on how you live between now and then.


text: Mr_Dupri Report post Posted December 18, 2014 "We are deeply saddened at this brazen effort to suppress the distribution of a movie, and in the process do damage to our company, our employees, and the American public. We stand by our filmmakers and their right to free expression and are extremely disappointed by this outcome." Sony's decision caps a whirlwind day, which saw the nation's five biggest theater chains cancel plans to screen "The Interview" on Dec. 25. Regal Entertainment, AMC Entertainment, Cinemark, Cineplex Entertainment and Carmike Cinemas pulled the comedy following a terror threat made Tuesday by hackers who had attacked Sony Pictures. "Due to wavering support of the film 'The Interview' by Sony Pictures, as well as the ambiguous nature of any real or perceived security threats, Regal Entertainment Group has decided to delay the opening of the film in our theaters," a representative for Regal said in a statement to The Huffington Post. Sony had previously placed the decision to cancel showings of "The Interview" at the feet of theaters owners. On Tuesday, the hackers referenced the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in a statement that threatened "the very time and places 'The Interview' be shown." Officials for the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Homeland Security acknowledged they were aware of the threat, but downplayed the likelihood of an incident.

After I did the first Born Pretty Brush Kit review I realised I didn't have many detailing brushes. So I got some...
I painted these nail art wheel nails and then I trimmed the brushes down, they are thin, but I prefer thinner. Keep reading for a closer looks and some more about the paint I use.
|from left to right: #0 Red, #000 Dark Blue, #00 Light Blue, #0000 Yellow
Above you can see they came protected by plastic tubes, and then the colours and numbers.
You can purchase this kit online at Born Pretty Store for $3.51, ID #465, shipping worldwide. Don't forget to use a coupon code for 10% off: HBJ61.
I don't have many designs painted with these to show you, but I did some on my nail art wheel also using acrylic paint from Born Pretty.
If you use acrylic paint as well, you probably know how fast you run out of these two colors - black and white. After I finished those from my acrylic paint set I bought some new in local craft store but I was curious about the paint they have in BPS. This means I have tried three brands so far.
I love this black, it was perfectly opaque, I wasn't so excited about the white, it's as good as the one I have from local craft store, I would expect it more opaque, but as you can see in the photos it's opaque enough. There is nothing I could complain about otherwise.
You can purchase this paint online at Born Pretty Store for $1.99, ID #7615, shipping worldwide. Don't forget to use a coupon code for 10% off: HBJ61.
I feel like the price is too high for a 12ml bottle, but then that's what happens when you want to buy just ONE piece instead of the whole set, right?
I have all the brushes I wanted know, so let's do some nail art! Stay tuned for next time. (Although I don't know what I'll be posting yet.)
Bye bye!

New Manga releases: Amazing Fantasy Manga Time!
By Mat K.
Okay, so this week is a bit on the short side, especially compared to last week which was fairly massive. There are a few gem selections, even though there are less than ten titles showing up. As far as stuff you will want to know about, in terms of continuing releases, Naoki Urasawa's 20th Century Boys Volume 9 is at the top of the list. We are almost half way through the series and Kanna has decided to stand up and avenge Kenji-will she be able to muster up enough support for her cause? Kanna makes her way to a mafia-operated casino and quickly finds herself at a high stakes table. Is she lucky (and smart) enough to turn the odds in her favor at the bizarre and fast-paced game of Rabbit Nabokov? Either way, Monster is getting harder to come across, so it's time to make the switch to either 20th Century Boys or Pluto while they're still readily available.
So for some pretty sweet fantasy Children Of The Sea by Daisuke Igarashi is great. Volume 3 comes in this week, the issues are a little far between, but at least now you have a good jump off point. After Ruka sees a ghost in the aquarium her dad works at, and meets two strange boys and they all get caught up in a mystery surrounding why the ocean's fish are disappearing. In book three Ruka is traumatized when Sora disappears into the night sea right in front of her. But although she refuses to speak of the incident, the meteorite Sora made her swallow is not so silent. It whispers to her from inside her body, and with its guidance she leads Umi and Anglade into the open ocean in search of answers. Between all that, the art is also really unique, which is always refreshing, especially the covers which all have watercolor, underwater, reflectiony-ness to them.
Also of note this week, there is one series premier which actually looks pretty sexy. Afterschool Charisma by Kumiko Suekane is about St. Kleio Academy, which is a very exclusive school. All of the students are clones of famous historical figures such as Beethoven, Queen Elizabeth I, Napoleon, Mozart, and Freud. All of them, that is, except for Shiro Kamiya. As Shiro struggles to adapt to this unusual campus, St. Kleio's first graduate, a clone of John F. Kennedy, is killed. Are the clones doomed to repeat the fate of their genetic progenitors, or can they create their own destinies? And how does a normal boy like Shiro fit in? Neat, right? Like Clone High from Mtv back in the days of it's animation programs, except Afterschool Charisma also includes murder, mystery and intrigue.
All I can say other than all that is that if nothing this week interests you, then this is the catch up week you've been waiting for. Time to stop reeling over the massive new releases and get back to series you've fallen behind on. School's almost out, or already out for everyone, especially for those of you who haven't been in school in years. Either way, we got your books. Come get 'em. See you all next week!
Ja Ne!

David awoke with a start in the darkness of his bedroom, not quite sure where he was at first. He felt alone. So alone. There was an aching emptiness so deep inside him it might have buried itself there and taken root. As he sat up, and swung his feet over the side of the bed, groping around for the switch to his bedside lamp, he heard the voice again. Her voice: "Promise me! No matter what happens, you must promise me!"
The words were out of his mouth before he even knew what he was saying: "I promise! I promise!" He could feel the emotion rising in him and was powerless to stop it. Hot tears sprang instantly from his eyes and a cry of anguish erupted from his throat. He began to weep uncontrollably, head in his hands, and cried out, "Oh my God ! Why? Why? WHY?!"
David fell from the bed onto his hands and knees, crying with such violence that he began retching. His head was pounding, and his heart was racing. The arcs of electricity had returned, and there was a rubbery taste in his mouth. Images were running through his head like a videotape on slow rewind: A hospital ward. Now a house with a rustic wooden fence outside it. Then an ice skating rink. A darkened cinema. Now Gary and Debbie at the Freeman house. The séance. The blonde girl sitting next to him, holding his hand. She was the fourth person at the séance! Now the blonde girl looking at him and smiling. Gary introducing her to him, "This is Debbie's sister, Lisa."
There was a brief moment of eerie stillness, and then something clicked in his mind. An overwhelming tidal wave of memories hit him all at once. Lisa! Her name was Lisa! Lisa Morgan! "Oh my God ! I remember you now!" He was at once pounded by a fresh wave of intense emotion, and he rolled over on to his back crying out in an agony of grief. "What happened? How could I have forgotten you so thoroughly?"
