Gold pushes higher despite stronger dollar
China's promise to buy euro-backed assets and a bounce in the French economy help bolster the metal.
Updated at 2:44 p.m. ET
Gold prices were rising Wednesday along with the euro after China promised to keep buying euro assets and as France's economy bounced back modestly in the fourth quarter.
Gold (-GC) for April delivery settled up $10.40 at $1,728.10 an ounce at the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. Gold traded as high as $1,739.20 and as low as $1,720.30 an ounce while the spot price was adding $6, according to Kitco's gold index.
Silver (-SI) closed 4 cents higher at $33.39 an ounce while the U.S. dollar index was up 0.2% at $79.59.
Although not a big celebration, France's economy grew 0.2% in the first quarter and 1.4% versus a year ago. The numbers were a positive surprise, as was China's announcement that it would continue to buy euro-backed assets like bonds from the European Financial Stability Fund (temporary bailout fund) or the European Stability Mechanism (permanent bailout fund).

The news lifted the euro somewhat, taking gold along with it, but the metal has still been stuck in a trading range between $1,700 and $1,750 an ounce. Both gold and the U.S. dollar gained traction as haven assets later in the day, after U.S. industrial production came in flat for January compared with a 0.4% gain the month before.
"Gold faces further overhead technical resistance between $1,742-$1,763," says James Moore, analyst at FastMarkets.com. Moore also says that physical demand has been waning of late and it might drag the metal down to $1,700 an ounce.
Stan Dash, vice president of applied technical analysis at TradeStation, thinks gold looks really good technically. "Gold has worked off its overbought conditions and remained positive." Dash thinks gold will make it up to its recent high of $1,765 an ounce. "It probably needs to pick up some steam to really punch it, but I think its set up to do that."
Dash warns that gold prices may stall again at some point especially with traders gearing up for a long weekend in the U.S., but that within the next week gold could test those recent highs. "If we can get through these highs the next level is $1,805, but let's take it one step at a time."
"It looks to me like gold is just trying to form a real strong base to move higher," argues Chuck Butler, president of EverBank World Markets. "I still think that gold is going to come back to at least its previous highs of last year . . . I really do think that gold is the anti-dollar if you will."
Butler firmly believes that as long as the U.S. doesn't have a balanced budget or rising interest rates then gold will be the de facto haven currency of choice. "The people who really buy gold look at it more vs. the dollar more than anything else."
Butler thinks any signs of another quantitative easing program from the Federal Reserve will break gold out of its "slumber." Many experts are looking for more bond buying between April and June, but others are more skeptical. Deutsche Bank thinks there is a good chance the unemployment rate could drop to 7.6% by year end, strengthening the case for a rate hike in 2013. Also, weekly initial jobless claims have been falling steeply -- as low as 358,000 for the week ending February 4th, the lowest reading since April 2008.
"In the past, claims have also been an excellent signal for when the Fed tightens, although monetary policymakers would surely argue this time is different," says Joseph LaVorgna, managing director and chief U.S. economist at Deutsche Bank.
LaVorgna says that for the most part the Fed has tightened when claims have broken below 350,000, albeit maybe not immediately. "The economic backdrop is much different than any (other) period, but another three years seem too long to stay on hold with negative real rates if claims break that critical 350,000 mark."
On the other end of the spectrum, the Federal Reserve in its latest FOMC minutes said that a few members think more asset purchases, or quantitative easing, could be warranted this year. More money in the system coupled with low rates is typically good for gold as a safety play against a weaker currency.
Gold investors were also digesting news of big-name fund managers dumping some gold positions in the fourth quarter. John Paulson sold 2.9 million shares of the SPDR Gold Shares (GLD), but remains the largest holder with 17.3 million shares. The move does help explain gold's 5% selloff during the same time period. He also sold some shares in gold stocks like AngloGold Ashanti (AU) and Gold Fields (GFI), but ramped up his shares in NovaGold (NG), Randgold (GOLD) and Barrick Gold (ABX) as well as some others.
George Soros, on the other hand, added 37,100 shares to his GLD position, which is still small at 85,450 shares. On the whole JPMorgan (JPM) was a big seller of gold dumping positions in the GLD as well as the iShares Gold Trust (IAU) for a total of 6.1 million shares, while Bank of America (BAC) added 8.3 million shares combined to both ETFs.
Gold mining stocks were mostly higher Wednesday. Barrick Gold (ABX) was up 0.1% at $47.66 while Newmont Mining (NEM) was adding 1.9% at $59.86.

Sex-positive, a term that's coming into cultural awareness, isn't a dippy love-child celebration of orgone – it's a simple yet radical affirmation that we each grow our own passions on a different medium, that instead of having two or three or even half a dozen sexual orientations, we should be thinking in terms of millions. "Sex-positive" respects each of our unique sexual profiles, even as we acknowledge that some of us have been damaged by a culture that tries to eradicate sexual difference and possibility.
Interview with Carol Queen at the Center for Sex & Culture
Center for Sex & Culture intern Marilyn Roxie interviewed Carol Queen, author, sexologist, and founder of the Center, in March 2011 for an LGBT American History class assignment. Here now are the contents of the interview, ranging from youth group organization in the '70s to sex-positivity, from her involvement with Good Vibrations to the founding for the Center for Sex & Culture, plus a guest appearance from her partner, Robert Morgan Lawrence!:
Marilyn Roxie: In the '70s, you had founded a gay youth organization and I wanted to know what was the process for starting that out and how did you get going on that?
Carol Queen: Well, in 1975, actually 1974, I was 17 and I started college a year early, and I wanted to go to college and come out. I was already bi-identified and really there was nothing for me to connect with in my small mountain town that I grew up in Oregon, except figuring out who the gay teachers were and trying to get them to give me support and that, then as now, is dicey because teachers are often a little fearful of reaching out to queer kids. So, I mean I did get some support, but I went to college, and at college it turned out, not only was the bisexuality part a little challenging to people, but, I was too young to go to the bar, which is where all the other people really came together and connected. The bar scene, this was in Eugene, Oregon in the '70s, and it was not the only LGBT space in town, but it was almost the only LGBT space.

Exploring the New Internet
Modern websites bear little resemblence to their legacy predecessors. We'll show you why the new web is different and how you can benefit from the system of technologies we know collectively as Web 2.0.
Wikipedia, Google, and Myspace are shooting stars in the constellation of web content providers as we move on into a new millennium. These sites have one thing in common: a radical renunciation of the legacy concepts associated with the old World Wide Web. The companies embrace new technologies, and a new way of thinking that has come to be called Web 2.0. You'll see some examples of new Internet technologies in this month's Linux Magazine cover story. A Brief History Academics were the first users of World Wide Web; the web rested easily upon the foundation of preceding technologies, such as archie and gopher, and it provided an efficient means for scholars to share their work. In the mid-90s, private companies started using the web as an inexpensive and highly effective platform for sales and marketing.

Loaded language
| We will control
what you think with
|Here's how we do it
Loaded language is language intended to produce an emotional response in the mind of the audience, in order to directly affect their views on a topic.
The use of loaded language confers certain qualities to a statement that often amount to an emotional appeal. "Liberal", for instance, may be (and often is) used among Conservatives in the United States as an insult, implying that the person so-labeled disregards normal moral standards. The true meaning of such a term often becomes obscured due to the prevalence of the coded meaning.
When the meaning is intentionally obfuscated in order to disparage a particular minority or belief without raising an alarm among those who would be offended by the meaning, it is sometimes called dog whistle politics, after the idea (often not actually true) that the out-group can't hear the meaning in the hidden message behind the words. Whether or not the out-group gets it, the in-group knows exactly what is meant by the code. For example, in certain settings in US politics, claiming to be "tough on crime" might be intended to subtly convey or take advantage of racism. Code words and dog whistle politics often use loaded language to convey their meaning to the in-group.
[edit] Examples of loaded language in politics
- The "First home buyer's scheme" in Australia might equally well have been called "The house price support scheme" - reflecting the effect of giving free money to home buyers with which to buy homes, which is simply that house prices uptick by precisely that amount.
- The abortion debate invariably evokes emotionally charged language and questionable analogies. Opponents of abortion describe it as "child murder" or "infanticide", and describe themselves as "pro-life", implying a false dichotomy in which those who do not agree with them are seen as being opposed to life itself. Similarly, the pro-choice side couches its language in terms of freedom in general, a strong element in the American mythos, deflecting as much attention from the specific freedom of abortion as possible.
- "Class warfare" is another one. While one might imagine it as double-sided affair, the reality is much different—meaning, it invokes negative images of filthy, lazy laborers attacking hardworking rich folks. In recent years, especially with the advent of OWS, it's now a cop-out against criticism and tax hikes for the rich. Many conservative pundits use the term to explain the war against the "job creators", not realizing they are invoking arguments penned by Karl Marx every time they do.
- "States' rights" is a loaded term, because it has been used politically to raise race as a wedge issue. While it's occasionally mentioned by libertarians for other reasons, it's still heavily associated with racism elsewhere.
- "Affirmative action" is also a loaded term, and is frequently used to disparage the achievements of non-whites, e.g. Barack Obama being referred to as an Affirmative Action President.
- Of course, everyone's favorite is "family values", which immediately invokes the feelings of warmth, security, honesty and support that a family brings. Even though the term really means a few vicious pet social issues - hatred of gays, being anti-abortion, and restricting roles for women. (See also "traditional values").
- "Job creator" is yet another one, and it has begun to see common usage after the recent recession. It tells people that companies give them employment, often out of the goodness of their hearts. The term is often euphemistically used by Republican politicians in order to fight corporate taxation (mainly because outright praising corporations isn't good PR).
- "Separatist" and "self-determination" evoke negative and positive responses respectively to an independence movement. One suggests "separation", which is linked with relationship difficulties in many people's minds; the other suggests responsibility and fairness. The Chinese government goes one further and uses the term "splittist" for Tibetan nationalists.
- Insurgent, freedom fighter and terrorist can all be applied to the same group depending on the speaker's perspective.
- "Indoctrination" or "brainwashing" in reference to perceived liberal bias in public education and higher education institutions. These words have been used by right wing groups like Eagle Forum, Campus Reform, David Horowitz Freedom Center, etc.
[edit] Legislation
- The "Estate Tax," which is only levied on very large bequests, was spun and renamed as the "Death Tax", because the listener would assume it was a tax on anyone who died (well, on their survivors), without realizing it only applies to a very small number of people.
- The phrase "No Child Left Behind" emphasizes the innocence of children, and the feeling of isolation at being left behind, rather than the same program which could have been called "Helping students
pass standardized testssucceed in school", the "charter school support act", or simply the "public education reduction act" - reflecting the main effect of the legislation, which is to penalize and ultimately close schools in poor districts owing to the infamous practice in the USA of financing schools via local property taxes.
- The "Defense of Marriage Act" intentionally invokes the image that marriage is being attacked, rather than a more straightforward name like "The Marriage for Heterosexual Couples Only For Federal and Interstate Purposes[1] Act".
- The "USA PATRIOT Act" is a (brutally forced) acronym for Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act, but due to the title, it implies that those opposed to the Act are inherently unpatriotic.
[edit] Neologism
Nobody is sure exactly what it is, but whatever it is, it sounds bad and needs to be banned.
- "Partial-birth abortion" - politicians seem to know more about what this term means than the doctors that perform it.
- "Assault weapon" - scary black guns, which may or may not be related to assault rifles.
[edit] Loaded questions
Loaded questions come in two forms:
- Trick questions force the respondent to either admit to an opinion or fact they do not share, or deny a factual premise. The most famous example of a trick question like this is: "When did you stop beating your wife?" In this form, an answer that does not directly refute the premise of the question (e.g. "I've never beaten my wife.") admits the truth in it, implicitly at least.[2] An example of forced opinion: "So, you are going to vote for that lazy Obama?" If one says yes, they admit to Obama being lazy, if they say no, they are lying about voting. Another option would be to reply in a way that implicitly rejects the loaded language by substituting more neutral language: "I am going to vote for Obama." An example of forced fact: "So you are one of those god-denying evolutionists?" The interrogee may think evolution is a fact, but also could be, say, a Christian.
- Leading questions supply the answer in the question. They often invoke arguments of association such as: "Smart people have been shown to like Obama. Do you like Obama?" "It's been proven that good and righteous Christians such as you like banana cream pie; do you like banana cream pie?" While these examples are obvious, if the topic is in an area one is unfamiliar with, and the "associations" use what appear to be expert opinions, one may well be moved to agree without even realizing what one has done. Amendment 2 in Colorado was a prime example of this. Few people understood the language of the bill, including many people in the legal profession. Polls would say to people "Experts analyzing this bill agree that it protects workers like yourself from being the victim of special rights groups. Workers all over the state are saying they feel threatened by this move, since it means someone can be hired who isn't qualified simply due to these special rights. Knowing that, and understanding how hard it is today to find a job, are you with us in our support of Amendment 2?"
[edit] Snarl words
A snarl word is a derogatory label that can be attached to something, in order to dismiss its importance or worth, without guilt. When used as snarl words, these words are essentially meaningless; most of them can be used with meaning, but rarely are.
While not actually using the word, liberal comedian/pundit/U.S. Senator Al Franken went into great detail about the "Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy"'s use of snarl words and other forms of emotional appeal in his first political work, Rush Limbaugh Is A Big Fat Idiot, specifically referencing Newt Gingrich, Frank Luntz, and Lee Atwater's political activities and conservative pressure groups' reliance on such tactics to slam through the 1994 Contract With America program.
Words frequently perceived and/or used as snarl words include:
- Atheist
- Bourgeois
- Capitalist
- Collectivist
- Communist
- Conservative
- Corporate
- Creatard
- Cult
- Darwinism
- Deceiver

[edit] Glittering generalities
A glittering generality, sometimes called a "virtue word" or "purr word," is the opposite of a snarl word. It's a vague term meant to invoke warm fuzzy feelings as in some of the examples given above. (Who could be against the children?) Some common glittering generalities:
- American values
- Children
- Democratic
- Enlightened
- Ethical
- Family values
- Fairness, or "fair share"
- Freedom
- Human Rights
- Job creators

Comments about Cantina Gal Adult Womens Plus Size Costume:
I loved it; it had a great fit & was super cute. Its adjustable so you can have it short or long. The over coat makes it comfortable so your not completely showing off your legs(I have short legs lol), it is low cut though so if your not confident with your chest area you could just throw a tank top underneath. The rose for the hair is so cute. I would definitely recommend this costume to anyone. It was fun, sexy, comfortable & there was no one else with it on!!

Comments about Cantina Gal Adult Womens Plus Size Costume:
I wear a size 12-14 and am a 38 C. I tried the large and extra larges (in other costumes because this one was only sold online) and felt they were just a tad too small for my comfort. The plus size label says 18-20 on the dress. It's a bit large in the chest area, but the corset part covers it so you can't tell. The corset is an elastic band, but looks authentic enough, and because it's elastic, it's comfortable. It also is a tad too large, but i laced it as tight as it goes and it's a decent enough fit. It's very sexy on and not too short like most other costumes. I absolutely love it!

Comments about Cantina Gal Adult Womens Plus Size Costume:
I ordered this costume on-line in 3x. I was worried about fit as I'm a 20/22 and what I would consider hourglassy. I'm also 5'10" so I thought it might be a bit short in front[...]I was pleasantly surprised to find it fit perfectly!Not only that but it looks sexy, it's actually a bit longer in front than it looks in the picture.

This issue of Perspectives focuses on the assessment and management of gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) and laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) in children and adults. Authors whose specialties include gastroenterology, laryngology, speech pathology, laryngeal epithelium function and pediatric voice and swallow disorders describe the latest approaches in evaluation and intervention to this increasingly prevalent disease. Advances in assessment-- from laryngoscopy to electrophysiology—are reviewed and discussed. A lively debate on interpretation of data and subsequent intervention approaches suggest to the reader that differential diagnosis of the disorder is paramount.

Faith Middleton Show: Fraser's Penguins
A journey to the future in Antarctica
The towering mountains and iceberg-filled seas of the western Antarctic Peninsula have for three decades formed the backdrop of scientist Bill Fraser's study of Advélie penguins. In that time, this breathtaking region has warmed faster than any place on earth, with profound consequences for the Advélies, the classic tuxedoed penguin that is dependent on sea ice to survive. During the Antarctic spring and summer of 2005-2006, author Fen Montaigne spent five months working on Fraser's field team, and he returned with a moving tale that chronicles the beauty of the wildest place on earth, the lives of the beloved Adélies, the saga of the discovery of the Antarctic Peninsula, and the story—told through Fraser's work—of how rising temperatures are swiftly changing this part of the world. Captivated by the tale of these polar penguins and a memorable field season in Antarctica, readers will come to understand that the fundamental changes Fraser has witnessed in the Antarctic will soon affect our lives.

Revolution! ... or peaceful protest? What is the best method for change, and why should we be talking about it?
So, you want a revolution.
Is America due for radical change? What changes would you make? How would you go about making them? What methods bring real results?
And finally, what do you believe is the breaking point for revolution/rebellion?
My opinion to come shortly.
Closing Statement from Mandy Fisher
The conversation may be closed, but the topic is only beginning to brew. Thank you all for your comments. Let's continue the conversation, and perhaps we'll find we arrive at a feasible solution.
Until next time...

Justin ElkinAug 25 2013: Hi Mandy. I've wondered about the same thing. I like Revolution. Peaceful protest isn't enough. A real revolution begins inside; at the individual level. You have to be the change you wish to see in the world, to paraphrase Ghandi. Education would need more attention. Change has to have some practical aspects and respectable references that can appeal to the most people. An example may be to track all your personal financial transactions to the penny and only spend primarily on necessities and as frugally as possible. I'd say wasteful and non productive businesses would start dropping out first. The government and businesses will be forced to conform to a well informed public once educated and able to a critical point.
Mandy Fisher
Justin ElkinAug 28 2013: You bring up a good point. What could stir the pot? I would say the last thing we need is another group saying "change". Knowledge abounds in this modern world with no practical system to implement what knowledge suggests. Maybe a lack of empathy is the culprit, and with empathy the pot could be stirred in the most ethical way. Maybe with empathy a movement can disarm all the cliques that may claim ownership to a certain set of intelligent ideas under the banner of empathic reasonability.

Throughout the month of August, Tribune writers are tasting our way through some of Utah's finest frozen confections including ice cream, gelato, frozen yogurt and shave ice in an effort to beat the heat. Today's pick:
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Watermelon basil and coconut lime mint pops • The pairings of fruit and herbs aren't your average frozen pop, but the mixtures are both sweet and aromatic — and the ingredients are all organic and natural. (There's also shaved ice with naturally made syrups in a variety of fruit flavors, and four herb-based syrups as add-ons. The strawberry/basil and raspberry/rosemary combos are particularly tasty — but the serrano chile, best mixed with mango or peach, is for daredevil eaters.)
Wasatch Pops and Snow Shack • Parked at 3981 S. Wasatch Blvd., in front of the Dan's supermarket at Olympus Hills, Tuesdays-Saturdays, 2:30 to 8 p.m., through the end of September. The mini-trailer also travels to farmers' markets at Millcreek and Park City, as well as community events (such as the 9th & 9th Street Festival on Sept. 15).
Price • Pops are $2.75; shaved ice is $1 for a cone, $2.50 for a cup.
Shop talk • Amber DeBirk's two daughters have severe food allergies, and had difficulty finding sweet treats that didn't have artificial colors or other additives. So DeBirk (who's also a fused-glass artist) started mixing her own fruit flavors to pour over shaved ice. That morphed into a food-truck business which worked farmers' markets in 2011, and now has a regular location in the Olympus Hills shopping area — where buyers can enjoy a treat while watching the sun set over the Salt Lake Valley.
Look for our daily picks in The Mix section every Wednesday and Friday. On other days of the week, you'll find our suggestions at sltrib.com/Lifestyle

The 2009 iPhone and iPod Touch SDK Competition has now closed. Many thanks to those who entered.
As this was the first year of the competition, entries were limited, but the judges did award two prizes to the following. The first is by Arfon Smith (Astrophysics) which demonstrates linking key college and departmental information together. The judges thought this met the criteria of meeting a need of Oxford students - and noted that it also highlighted the importance of emerging services like Mobile Oxford (http://mobile.ox.ac.uk). The second was from Joe Zuntz (Astrophysics) which showed how the iPhone could be used for crowd-sourcing to assist with a research project - Galaxy Zoo.
Video demos of both applications can be viewed/downloaded here:
We will consider running the event again in 2010.

This is awesome.
Author: Laura Morgan
On being a cycling anti-cyclist
I am rude about cyclists. I'm not rude to them – that would be rude – but when they sail through red lights when I'm at a pedestrian crossing, or cycle into me on the pavement, or ignore the existence of one-way systems, I mutter grumpily after their retreating backs and then retire to the internet to post mean-spirited anti-cyclist jibes.
So I'm as surprised as you are to discover that since starting a job that's just too far away to walk to on days when I struggle to get out of bed (which is to say, all the days), I have found myself travelling to work by bike. Even more unexpectedly, I'm using Boris bikes, which should really be named after Ken, whose idea they were, and which are ridden not by the arrogant, hands-free, fuck-you cyclist who commits the above sins, but by a breed almost as bad: the wobbly, incompetent part-timer who weaves down the middle of the road and/or pavement, blissfully unaware of distractions like cars, and other people.
As it happens, wobbly and incompetent is an accurate description of my skills in all sorts of areas, and it's certainly how I'd have described my cycling ability until recently, but an amazing thing has happened: in a very short time, I have become someone who swoops and zooms my way around the back streets of London, gaily clad in a silver helmet and garish neon yellow tabard, attracting the killer glares of white van drivers everywhere I go.
And I've realised that some of the dick-moves that cyclists pull aren't quite the dick-moves they seem. I don't run red lights, but I do sometimes fail to stop at zebra crossings, because when you are cycling on rush-hour streets you are using all your conscious thinking on staying upright and alive, and so you start to edit out things which aren't a potential danger, and that sometimes includes people waiting to cross the road. I don't do it often, and when I do I stop hard if I can, or wail out an apology if I can't, but it happens.
And when I'm waiting at a junction and the light goes green and someone looks like they want to cross the road, I don't sit and wait for them to do it, but that's because those few seconds where you can get away ahead of the cars angrily revving their engines behind you are the safest time to negotiate a busy road, and if you wait the cars start beeping their horns at you, even though they wouldn't have gotten away any faster, being cars. So you evade the rage by dashing off just as soon as you can.
And those times when you're crossing the road and a cyclist seems to be trying to hit you? They're not trying to hit you. They're trying not to hit you, because you are crossing the road at an unexpected place and you can't hear them and you didn't look for them and the reason they've swerved around you at speed is because their alternative was to knock you over, which would be about as unpleasant for them as it would for you.
So I have had to grown-up-ly remind myself that I don't have automatic right of way just by virtue of being me (my journey is more important than anyone else's, the unconscious thinking goes, so I should automatically get to go first), that people pulling dick-moves might just be trying to stay upright and alive, and that the world turns more smoothly when we all try being a little bit nicer to one another.
I'm still going to mutter grumpily after the retreating backs of cyclists who run red lights, obviously, but now I'll do it in a self-righteous "you're giving us all a bad reputation" kind of a way, which might be even more fun.
Love 1 – 0 Romance
Earlier this year, when Crystal Palace were still in the running for the FA Cup but looking pretty poor in the Premier League, someone asked me whether I'd rather win the cup or stay in the league. Now, no doubt you remember just as well as I do that our 1990 cup run, which saw us take Man Utd to a thrilling 3-3 draw before losing 1-0 in a heartbreaking replay, was one of the most exciting times there has ever been to be a Palace fan. What's nice about the cup is that winning it is its own reward: when we won the playoff final at Wembley a year ago today we knew it meant we had a tough season ahead. But a cup victory is pure, sweet joy. (I am guessing, we've never won the cup. I'm not, for the purposes of this discussion or indeed any other, counting the Zenith Datasystems Cup.)
But winning the FA Cup over staying in the Premiership for the first time ever? No contest. Winning the cup would give us a point in history, a lifetime's worth of memories, a shared experience that we would treasure forever. Staying up would keep the club in business and stave off ever-present fears of bankruptcy and administration. The club is well-run these days, but if you watched that game at Hillsborough four years ago and spent the last ten minutes not breathing, knowing that if we conceded another goal there was a good chance we'd go out of business altogether, you know why the chance to consolidate a top-division presence is worth ten cup finals. It's not as exciting, it's not as romantic, but survival trumps sentiment every single time for us fans of small, struggling, teetering-on-the-brink clubs.
Of course, the problem with being a football fan is that you're never satisfied. I got my wish and we stayed up for the first time ever, and now I want a top-ten finish and a cup run for 2014/15, and if I don't get it I'll be disappointed, even though a year ago all I was hoping for was to finish in 17th. If I start to become one of those supporters who approaches every competition with a planet-sized sense of entitlement you will let me know, won't you?
Is this thing on? <Blows away dust>
I have a whole bunch of stuff to tell you about, but I keep accidentally going on holiday and not having time. In the meantime, though, here is a review I wrote of a film called Touchy Feely for those nice people over at MostlyFilm.
Oscar predictions
For the third year in a row, I will be attempting to stay up as late as possible this coming Saturday night in order to adjust my body clock such that I can liveblog the Oscars for MostlyFilm, and wonder again why they can't hold the ceremony in New York or, ideally, London, so as to make the task less arduous for us European filmwatchers. Traditionally I have enlisted the assistance of sweets, crisps and fizzy drinks to keep me going, but what also helps is having an investment in the outcome and since YET AGAIN I haven't been nominated in a single category, I am reduced to trying to beat my record for the highest number of correct predictions. And in order to stop me cheating, I am bringing you along for the ride…
Best picture
Nominees: American Hustle, Captain Philips, Dallas Buyers Club, Gravity, Her, Nebraska, Philomena, 12 Years A Slave, The Wolf Of Wall Street
This is, I'm sure, between Gravity and 12 Years A Slave, and I think the latter will win because being accidentally turned into a slave in real life beats losing a fictional daughter in the heartstring-tugging stakes.
Nominees: Christian Bale (American Hustle), Bruce Dern (Nebraska), Leonardo DiCaprio (The Wolf Of Wall Street), Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years A Slave), Matthew McConaughey (Dallas Buyers Club)
Matthew McConaughey ought to win; Chiwetel Ejiofor will, which I am also OK with because he is a Palace fan and we rarely win anything. (Leo, whom I love, is fantastic in WOWS, but it's not a fantastic film and his character is so desperately unsympathetic that I don't think he has a chance.)
Nominees: Amy Adams (American Hustle), Cate Blanchett (Blue Jasmine), Sandra Bullock (Gravity), Judi Dench (Philomena), Meryl Streep (August, Osage County)
Cate Blanchett has this nailed on, I think.
Supporting Actor
Nominees: Barkhad Abdi (Captain Philips), Bradley Cooper (American Hustle), Michael Fassbender (12 Years A Slave), Jonah Hill (The Wolf Of Wall Street), Jared Leto (Dallas Buyers Club)
This is a really strong category. I'd be happy with a win for Abdi or Cooper, but Jared Leto's turn as Rayon in DBC is a career-best piece of loveliness and I hope he takes it. I would also like to point out that had Behind The Candelabra been eligible for Oscar nominations, Matt Damon and Rob Lowe would both have deserved nods in this category, as would Michael Douglas in Leading Actor.
Supporting Actress
Nominees: Sally Hawkins (Blue Jasmine), Jennifer Lawrence (American Hustle), Lupita Nyong'o (12 Years A Slave), Julia Roberts (August, Osage County), June Squibb (Nebraska)
I didn't love J-Law in American Hustle. Or maybe I mean I didn't love her as much as I love her in Silver Linings Notebook or Real Life™ – but she will win this regardless.
Animated Feature
Nominees: The Croods, Despicable Me 2, Ernest and Celestine, Frozen, The Wind Rises
From the buzz it's generated among under-eights of my acquaintance, I'm saying Frozen.
Nominees: The Grandmaster, Gravity, Inside Llewyn Davis, Nebraska, Prisoners
I can't imagine a world in which this won't go to Gravity.
Costume Design
Nominees: The Grandmaster, American Hustle, The Great Gatsby, The Invisible Woman, 12 Years A Slave
It should be nominated for hair and makeup but since it isn't, I think American Hustle will take this one instead.
Nominees: David O. Russell (American Hustle), Alfonso Cuarón (Gravity), Alexander Payne (Nebraska), Steve McQueen (12 Years A Slave), Martin Scorsese (The Wolf Of Wall Street)
Cuarón will lose out on Best Picture but I think he'll pip McQueen to the winning post in this category.
Documentary Feature
Nominees: The Act Of Killing, Cutie And The Boxer, Dirty Wars, The Square, 20 Feet From Stardom
I will admit to not having had the guts to watch The Act Of Killing when I had the opportunity, but everything I've heard and read about it makes me think it has to win out here.
Documentary Short
Nominees: CaveDigger, Facing Fear, Karama Has No Walls, The Lady In Number 6: Music Saved My Life, Prison Terminal: The Last Days Of Private Jack Hall
How far ahead of the ceremony does voting happen? Only the cynic in me wants to say that since Alice Herz-Sommer, the 110-year-old holocaust survivor who is the subject of The Lady In Number 6, has just died, the already-good chances that it would win have just improved.
Film Editing
Nominees: American Hustle, Captain Philips, Dallas Buyers Club, Gravity, 12 Years A Slave
Gravity is so sparse and elegant and beautiful that again, I can't imagine it not winning here.
Foreign Language Film
Nominees: The Broken Circle Breakdown, The Great Beauty, The Hunt, The Missing Picture, Omar
Right, so, uh, I was going to predict a win for Blue Is The Warmest Colour but I've just noticed it hasn't been nominated. So in the absence of any other information I will employ my traditional method of closing my eyes and stabbing at the screen, which gives me The Broken Circle Breakdown. You heard it here first.
(One rule I have when I make my predictions, by the way, is that I can't go googling for betting odds or anyone else's views. It has to be based on my own knowledge. Which is why I am often wrong!)
Makeup and Hair
Nominees: Dallas Buyers Club, Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa, The Lone Ranger
I've only seen one of these, but Jared Leto is so breathtakingly beautiful in Dallas Buyers Club that I hope it wins. Mainly, though, I just hope Jackass doesn't. There is a time and a place for Jackass, and the Oscars ain't it.
Original Score
Nominees: The Book Thief, Gravity, Her, Philomena, Saving Mr Banks
The rules are, when someone you know is nominated you have to say them. Now, nobody I know is nominated in this category, but someone I know knows someone who is, and so I'm going for Gravity (which also has a really good score).
Original Song
Nominees: Happy (Despicable Me 2), Let It Go (Frozen), The Moon Song (Her), Ordinary Love (Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom)
Yeah, I haven't heard any of these. Also, when was Tangled? There's a good song in that. Let's say Frozen.
Production Design
Nominees: American Hustle, Gravity, The Great Gatsby, Her, 12 Years A Slave
Well actually this should definitely go to The Great Gatsby, but I think Gravity will win.
Animated Short
Nominees: Feral, Get A Horse!, Mr Hublot, Possessions, Room On The Broom
Cough. Well, Get A Horse! has the best name, right?
Live Action Short
Nominees: Aquel No Era Yo, Avant Que De Tour Perdre, Helium, Pitääkö Mun Kaikki Hoitaa?, The Voorman Problem
I wonder whether you tick a box or have to write in your answers, when you vote? Because nobody's going to take the time to write out Pitääkö Mun Kaikki Hoitaa? by hand if they don't have to. But it's bound to be checkboxes, isn't it? So let's go with that. One day, when I grow up, I will be a person who watches the short films ahead of the Oscars (or even afterwards).
Sound Editing
Nominees: All Is Lost, Captain Philips, Gravity, The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug, Lone Survivor
Sound Mixing
Nominees: Captain Philips, Gravity, The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug, Inside Llewyn Davis, Lone Survivor
I think Gravity will take both of these.
Visual Effects
Nominees: Gravity, The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug, Iron Man 3, The Lone Ranger, Star Trek Into Darkness
I can't remember whether the argument over possible or desirable punctuation in the name of the latest Star Trek movie came to a conclusion, so I'm leaving it out rather than get it wrong and risk the wrath of…well, you know. Obviously this will also go to Gravity.
Adapted Screenplay
Nominees: Before Midnight, Captain Philips, Philomena, 12 Years A Slave, The Wolf Of Wall Street
Before Midnight is an adaptation? Who knew? Well, the Academy, it would appear. I'm racing through these last few categories not because I want to go to bed, although I do, but because I think there's barely any debate to be had about most of them. 12 Years A Slave will win this.
Original Screenplay
Nominees: American Hustle, Blue Jasmine, Dallas Buyers Club, Her, Nebraska
Whether he did or whether he didn't, Woody will take this for Blue Jasmine, although I would give it to Dallas Buyers Club. But for some reason, nobody asked me. I know!
Best date story ever
As you know, I'm very busy and important, which is why I've just been reading this Mumsnet "worst date ever" thread. There are some humdingers on there, but my favourite so far is this:
I briefly did internet dating, and found out we had a mutual interest in cycling so arranged a cycle ride for our first date. He was rather monosyllabic when he turned up but nevertheless we headed out of town on our bikes. The minute we got into the countryside, we headed up a steep hill (pre-agreed route) and he disappeared into the distance, never to be seen again.
On Middle Eights
I am, right this second, listening to a R4 programme on musical middle eights. It's interesting, and you should listen to it when you get the chance, but it's made me wonder what the definition of a "middle eight" really is. (I looked it up on the internet, but nobody on the internet agrees with anyone else on the internet.)
Obviously it needn't be eight bars long (and if you feel sniffy about that, you can get around it by calling it a bridge), but it does probably need to be somewhere in the middle of the song, which is to say it can't be the intro or the outro. And yet one of the first examples given by Helen Caddick, a composer and lecturer in songwriting at Goldsmith's College, was Eleanor Rigby, which I don't think has a middle eight at all, but Caddick thinks the "Ah, look at all the lonely people" section is a middle eight; and if your definition is that it's not the verse or the chorus (I think that bit is part of the chorus, but I'm not a lecturer in songwriting) and that it has a different melody or theme from the rest of the piece, then I suppose she could be right.
But then her second example was Pulp's Common People, and her middle eight was this section:
Rent a flat above a shop
Cut your hair and get a job
Smoke some fags and play some pool
Pretend you never went to school
Still you'll never get it right
Cause when you're laying in bed at night
Watching roaches climb the wall
If you call your dad he can stop it all
Now, the vocal is certainly different, and emotionally it's the punchy centre of the song for sure, but the music playing behind it is (I'm going by memory, I can't seem to be bothered to give it an actual listen; feel free to tell me I'm wrong) the same as the rest of the song.
So I'm still not sure what a middle eight is, but I do know what my favourite middle eight is (today). What are yours? And what's your definition of a middle eight?
100-Word Fiction: 'Fare Thee Well Pete Seeger'
I would like to write about Pete Seeger, but MWB's done it so eloquently and elegantly that I have nothing to add.

Happy birthday to meeeeee
Gladallover is six today! When I was six I got a new baby sister AND a realistic baby doll, and I can't remember which I was more excited by. Whilst I don't anticipate any arrivals of quite that import on Gladallover, you never know; I might find something new to write about. But not today! So in the meantime if you are new, or bored, or amnesiac, you can read my most popular posts of the last six years, in ascending order:
10. A poll on the best Oscar dresses from the 2012 red carpet
9. A post from last week about Beth Tweddle, Twitter and sexist idiots
7. Some musings on the love life of Andrew Lloyd Webber
6. Another rant about the Olympics
5. A link to some stuff written by more interesting people than me
4. Last month's advent post featuring Lou Reed singing White Christmas (thank you Suzanne Vega, whose Twitter link to that post is entirely responsible for its high placement)
3. A photo of a baby baboon (if you only click on one of these links, I recommend this one)
2. A very old link to Failblog
1. A post about swimming pools. No, me neither.
Perhaps this year I will try to write about football. I mean, don't hold your breath.
…and this is why we still have a long way to go
Sorry to harsh your buzz, but although this made me heavy-hearted, this sort of thing needs to be shared and talked about, if only so those responsible learn that they will be challenged, every time they do it.
I'd also love to know how many of the men (they all are) who've taken the brave step of tweeting misogynistic abuse at Beth Tweddle can do this:

This week we cover some of the recent news in the Palm community. [details (http://www.1src.com/?m=show&id=2162)]
Good to have you back.
I think best case is that Palm will come out with a utility that helps get your data from PalmDesktop/Outlook to the Web. It's clear that webOS breaks the old sync'in model on POS to the pc.
Also I think it was mention or verified that it was using wifi when they demo'd the browser.
Alan G
Hey Miles.
I'm sure that there will be some sort of utility. The important thing is that it needs to be easy to use just like webOS will be.
Alan G
This podcast is not appearing in iTunes.
Alan G
It should be there now.
Alan G
Thanks a lot!
Jimmie Geddes
Very glad to have the podcast back!
This Press Release came out today regarding syncing from Outlook to Google and then using Synergy to get the data on the Pre.
"While Palm has made few concrete announcements about Palm Synergy capabilities, the recent demonstrations with the Palm Pre and Palm Synergy show a viable Outlook solution of which CompanionLink is a part," says Wayland Bruns, CEO of CompanionLink Software. "Tim Pettitt, Product Manager for Palm Pre, at CTIA 2009 showed the Palm Pre Calendar application and discussed sync capabilities to Google. Since CompanionLink already supports Outlook to Google sync, it means Synergy/Outlook users will have the ability to get their desktop contacts and calendar information on their Palm Pre phones on the same day that the Palm Pre launches."
The software is going to be $29.95. I really think that Palm needs to ship the Pre with a FREE solution like they have always done with Palm Desktop and Outlook support via Chapura.
Don't get me wrong the more developers making and selling software for webOS is GREAT, but Palm really needs to include support for getting current Palm OS users who use Palm Desktop a way to get their information on to the Pre (those users are going to be the first ones buying the Pre).
I'm glad to see support for Classic Palm OS apps via "Classic", it really surprised me that Palm went with a 3rd party company to do it, and also there's no information about how much Motion is going to charge. IMO I Palm they should have included that as a standard app on the Pre. ACCESS is giving away Garnet VM for Nokia devices, just rubs me the wrong way a bit. I will be buying it though, and I'm glad we can still run our favorite apps while waiting for them to be ported to webOS.
I gotta go listen to the podcast, looking very forward to hearing Alan's thoughts. I've been noticing he's been having a little affair with a BlackBerry;)
Hi Jimmie. I agree that the syncing software *must* come free with the Pre together with Classic. I guess it's not too late for Palm to come up with a Pre Release Promo bundling these "demo" apps for free.
Jimmie Geddes
Joel will you be getting a Pre?
It seems that Palm and MotionApps like to work together. When I was beta testing the Foleo, MotionApps was creating the PIMS for the Foleo.
MotionApps Provides Calendar, Contacts and Tasks Application for New Generation of Mobile Device
SAN FRANCISCO & SUNNYVALE, Calif., Jun 18, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- MotionApps and Palm, Inc. (Nasdaq:PALM) today announced that mDayscape Personal Information Manager will be available for the new Palm(R) Foleo(TM) mobile companion. mDayscape lets customers manage calendar, contacts and tasks on the Foleo and synchronizes with a Treo smartphone to access personal information on the go.
Jimmie, there's no Sprint here. So I'm either hoping for one of our local providers to support it or hopefully get an unlocked version. Yes, I'd like to get one too.
I think MotionApps was chosen again because of the botched up deal with the Foleo ;)
Alan G
Jimmie is correct, I have been carrying a BlackBerry Curve 8330 since December 2008. I have been telling people it was an opportunity to learn about the BlackBerry while I was waiting for the Pre to ship. That was the true, but there was another part to the story: I had become board with my Treo 755p. For all intents and purposes, I have been using the same mobile operating system since 1999 and I needed a change.
But there is an upside to all of this. By playing with the BlackBerry, I learned of a spiffy little *free* utility from Google called Calendar Sync (http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=89955). Guess what that does. Yep, it syncs your Outlook 2003 and 2007 calendars with your Google account. (You must also be using either Windows XP or Vista. No, Windows 2000 nor Outlook 2000 is supported.)
It sounds like Palm may not be providing free sync software anymore, that we know about anyway, there is still a good (free) way to sync Outlook to Google.
I have been using Outlook Calendar Sync for a few months now and it has been working well. Google also has Google Sync for Mobile (http://www.google.com/mobile/default/sync.html) that allows you to sync your BlackBerry or Windows Mobile device to your Google Calendar. So if you have multiple devices like Jimmie and I, you still have some free options for keeping all of your devices sync'ed up with Google. (I sync my iPod touch with iCal, which is using the sync with Google Calendar option (http://www.googletutor.com/2007/01/24/syncing-google-calendar-with-ical/).)
These are just a few Windows, Mac, Outlook, Google, mobile options that are out there. The good news is that you can start playing with them today, um, while you're waiting for the Pre to ship.
See, I really did plan this BlackBerry thing out from the start. <G>

Alan G
Foleo?! Did someone say the "F" word?
Alan G
I couldn't agree with you more about PIM data transfer. I have hundreds of memos, repeatable events and contacts that cannot be ignored! I will not do a manual transfer. I can do without most Palm apps but my data is all important to me.
I still use the Palm Desktop and find it so much better than anything from Google, yahoo or Microsoft.
please clarify: are you saying that I cannot run v6 of the Palm Desktop in a 64k bit system of Windows? Or is it that the 32K bit version will run but is not optimized for 64K bit system?
Glad to hear your voice again and am looking forward to #207!

Glad to hear your voice again and am looking forward to #207!
To clarify, Palm Desktop 6.2.x will run on both a 32-bit and 64-bit Windows XP or Vista install. What doesn't work is the USB driver for Palm OS devices to sync with a 64-bit version of Windows.
I have a 32-bit version of Vista Business installed on my Dell Optiplex 755 and I can sync my Treo 700p and 755p just fine to Palm Desktop 6.2.2 by ACCESS. If I had purchased a 64-bit edition of Windows (assuming that I also had a 64-bit processor) I would have been in trouble. The only way to get a Palm OS device to sync with a 64-bit edition of Windows is to setup a Bluetooth sync.

Hi -
I was wondering if anyone here is familiar with Facebook business page setting up/ options?
Basically, I created a Facebook business page for my friend's company, uploaded some pics, got few friends to "like" it and etc., but then I realized that you can't do much with it. It doesn't show up in search results, you can't add/ invite people, "like" other pages and etc. Even if you get lot of people to "like" it, it still means nothing since you cant comment "like" other business pages or leave comments. Apparently the way to go about it so to turn one's personal Facebook profile into a Facebook business page. I never had Facebook profile and my friend who owns the company has one, but he uses his own username/ email and password to log on to it. Facebook business page that I created for him has different username/ password? There are also some rules imposed by Facebook about not operating private profile and business page at the same time, since they can then shut it down.
Can anyone share some insights on this, please? Thanks

2012 was a big year for Jack White as the singer went solo with his debut album, Blunderbuss . The album was written, recorded and produced entirely by the ex- White Stripes frontman, which White says was the only way he could ever consider making a solo record.
"I have an obsession with being hard on myself because I really need to feel proud of what I do," he tells U.K. newspaper The Sun . "If I look back and see that I got the best engineers, that someone mixed the record for me, that it was just a bunch of people playing the parts, I couldn't live with throwing my name on top of it."
Fans can look forward to more solo music from him in the near future, as White reveals that "another album is on the way already."

About The Owner
My husband and our family really needed a place to go where we could just hear the wind and the birds, relax, play games,go for walks without having to worry about cars, people, just be alone and rest.
The Owner purchased this house in 2006
Why The Owner chose Bastrop
We had looked every where from Galveston, to Austin, and finally by luck we found this remote property , the owner had it on the market for a while as he refused few prospects, and after meeting with us and finding out that we just wanted to enjoy mother nature like him, he sold the place to us!
What makes this house unique
And what a place, so quite, peaceful, like time did not touch this place( except for the comfort of the house), all seems to be like the old days before, cell phones,computers,take out, just a nice slow life you'll experience there, and can enjoy reading the book you never finished, or bake that cake you just never had time to make, or just sit and listen the out door, look at the stars.... when you come back to town we just feel like we were away for so long, and had forget about every else, except one an other, and the memories we had just created on that weekend! The Cottage is just a simple place were you can recharge your batteries , do whatever you never time to
do ( reading, baking, cooking, scrap booking, sleeping,playing games, instruments,fishing,talking,relaxing,make a fire, BBQ on a real fire,praying,writing.......) and it goes on and on. We had so many different guests, from priest retreat to divorce negotiator weekend, baby news, wedding anniversary weekend,ladies get away,.... just a great place, and thank you for your interest in the place, we can't wait to hear your story!

Awesome zip up hoodie which I got it red. Love the feel, size and style. Holds up much better in the wash than many other sweatshirts i've had. Most shrink up, this did not.

Album of the Month AUGUST 2014
It All Stems From Childhood
Pretty Addicted
Dark Electro
Released 2014 by Off Label
The Swedish summer has come and gone and now we are looking forward until the Album of the Year countdown in a few months. One of the big candidates for that award is Pretty Addicted with the highly rated album 'It All Stems From Childhood', reviewed by Steven. Dark Electro at its best.
Among our contenders, we find Tangent's ambient piece 'Transience' and also some more of the darker side of Electro with British Cyferdyne.
