I don't know where to look for this. My system is a new(ish) motherboard, MSI FM2-A75MA-E35 with on board sound and AMD A75 chipset. Although capable of 4/5.1/7.1 channel modes, I use only the green line-out socket to feed a set of Logitech speakers. 2+bass.
The sound works pretty well in everything except the Skype notification tones, which are broken, horrible and crackly. Very occasionally, it comes through cleanly, but mostly it's horrible, sometimes just a harsh white noise. I thought I had cured it by installing the pulse volume control, and adjusting the system sounds, but it was only a temporary fix. Other system sounds seem clean enough now, although none last as long as a Skype notification. Music sounds very good, as does audio from Youtube etc.
Maybe this is a case of inappropriate drivers for the motherboard, or simply because the non updated Skype doesn't work well in Linux any more (but I didn't notice a problem before I changed the Mobo). Can anyone point me in a suitable direction to look?

Demivrgvs, on 26 January 2012 - 03:29 AM, said:
3rd lvl Haste:
* +1 apr, AC, THAC0, and speed factor (the latter would be a new entry)
* if possible something like +50% movement rate instead of th current +100%
* last 10 rounds
* whole party, but 5 rounds fatigue after it (note that SR's fatigue also affect spellcaster's casting speed factor)
6th lvl Improved Haste:
* +2 apr (finally affecting non-warriors), AC, THAC0, and speed factor
* +100% movement rate
* last up to 20 rounds
* single target, but no fatigue after it
Good suggestions, but here's how I think these spells should more-or-less be :
3rd level haste :
Effect : +1 APR / +50% movement / 5 rounds fatigue after the spell ends.
Duration : 1 round / level up to 20 rounds (Why set the duration to 10 rounds ?)
Affects : Whole party
Basically, same as Vanilla except the fact that speed is only improved by 50% / fatigue uses your (much better) system.
In advanced D&D, haste doesn't grant AC/THACO bonus, but doubles attacks / speed and ages the recipient of the spell
Since the drawback is not as huge, the benefit is much lower, and only grants +1 APR : original version sounded fair... the +1 THACO / +1 AC comes from DnD 3.5, and doesn't really belong here... the spell is powerful enough without that bonus.
Regarding Improved Haste, this is a completely made up spell, so, I'd instead turn it into the following :
6th lvl Improved Haste:
Effect : +2 apr / +100% movement rate / -1 Spell Casting Time
Duration : 1 round / level up to 20 rounds
Affects : Single target
Single target haste, more powerful and more versatile (adds a nifty bonus for spell casters, and the same APR for all classes, better for non-fighter classes).
Granting additional APR & speed is more than enough power for that spell, I really don't understand the reasoning for boosting these spells even more by granting THACO and AC, beside having the spell look more "D&D 3.5-like", which is not what your mod is trying to achieve (?)
These spells were already "bread & butter" of Baldur's Gate I & II before even boosting them. It's like granting bonus to other very powerful spells, like PFMW or Time Stop, or Improved Alacrity & so on..
Another thing that you could do would be to rename the spell into "Alacrity" rather than Improved Haste, and have it grant the same bonus as Improved Alacrity, but for the duration of 1 round, which would make it balanced, I guess ?
Edit.: Forgot PnP haste also grants -2 bonus to initiative, might want to add it if you want to stay true to PnP, but it's not like initiative is *that* important in baldur's gate (?)

These articles in The Star prompted me to write this letter. The first indicated that the Anniston Board of Education is considering spending $9 million (possibly revised to $16 million) for a new school for our seventh- and eighth-graders. However, the enrollment for these grades has been steadily declining for many years, and last year we had only 143 seventh-graders and 157 eighth-graders, a total of 300.
The second article seemed much more prudent in that 12 classrooms and a science lab will be built at Ohatchee by the Calhoun County Board of Education. The "high-end" estimate for this project is $3.6 million, and assuming 25 students per classroom, it will also accommodate 300 students.
I strongly agree with Anniston Board of Education president Donna Ross when she expressed her misgivings regarding the $9 million project, and I strongly agree with board member Bill Robison, who called building a $16 million school a "ridiculous waste of money."
Since we the taxpayers must ultimately repay a $9 million or $16 million bond issue, and since we should spend our money as wisely as possible for the benefit of our school children, please urge the Anniston Board of Education to heed the advice of Ross and Robison. Adding some classrooms for the seventh- and eighth-graders on the Anniston High campus makes a lot more sense.

Her name was Betty Stoddard Muncie, and she passed away on Sept. 15 at the age of 90.
As a radio and TV personality she set the Nevada standard of excellence for all of her gender that followed. Arriving here in the 1940s, she started her career in radio along with her husband, Bob Stoddard, at station KATO, which was located for many years on the mezzanine of the Mapes Hotel. As soon as TV became available hereabouts, she quickly and easily made the transition to the tube. Possessed of an engaging personality and mellifluous voice, she had been an instant hit on radio as she conducted interviews with the vast array of celebrities that used to make Reno a regular stop on their itineraries. Names like Liberace, Clark Gable, Max Baer, Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy were just a few of those she entertained mic-side. Unlike present day interviewers on network TV, she did not do frame-long, rambling questions in such a manner that the interviewee could only answer yes or no. Betty had the intelligence to pose interesting questions with brevity so the guest could ramble in his or her own style.
Even though early-day television here was in grainy black and white – and was often off the air as much as it was on – the pictures gave Betty the opportunity to showcase her other great talent, which was good looks, topped off with an easy and winning smile.
Also, unlike many of today's femmes on TV, Betty's talents did not stop when she was off camera. For then she would set out to personally sell the sponsors for her show. She never failed to deliver and usually reappeared at the station with check in hand for her spots. One early day, a TV station manager was quoted as saying, "If we didn't have Betty's show and the business she brings in, we might not be able to stay on the air!"
A tireless and energetic person, her day did not end when she left the studio. She was responsible for the majority of the fashion shows that were staged in Reno in those days and could be spotted all over town picking up outfits from her sponsors' stores. Then she would recruit her models, show them how to model the gowns and then take the mic to emcee the show.
If there were any charitable causes that needed her help she was the first to volunteer and a marvelous recruiter to get other ladies to also pitch in.
During the 1960s, my office at the Mapes was adjacent to the KATO studios, which later became KBET, and so I would see both Betty and Bob on a daily basis as we all traipsed the long hallway to our respective offices.
The local media in the middle of the last century here was a male-dominated business for the most part, with women basically relegated to receptionist or secretarial duties. Betty changed all that as she broke the gender gap and could hold her own with any man on the air or in salesmanship. By so doing, she set the stage for many young women who followed in her footsteps.
On particular example of how easily she stepped into the previously all-male strongholds was when she unexpectedly showed up at an early day meeting of the area's Good Old Days (G.O.D.) club. That group had originally been formed by local PR, publicity and newsmen to meet once a month and discuss stories that had never seen print. The language was usually salty and biting – much like that of the GI barracks in World War II. That quickly changed after Betty's first visit and by breaking the gender line for other women. Today's G.O.D. meetings are attended by as many female members as they are by men.
Most of the media people in Reno during those bygone days were of the opinion that Betty would move on to larger markets and even to network assignments. Fortunately, that did not happen and she continued on at the very pinnacle of her profession for years.
I remember that whenever I needed a female voice for radio or TV commercials the only person I ever called on was Betty. She would look at the copy once, do a read through to check the timing and then deliver it perfectly — on the first take — as Tad Dunbar, the eulogist at Monday's affair noted.
In his well-prepared and moving eulogy, Dunbar noted that when he first arrived in Reno to begin his stint on KOLO-TV, Betty was already a well-established figure and actually the star of the station.
Other family members delivered poignant personal remembrances on Monday and they were capped by the emotional tribute delivered by son, Dick Stoddard, himself a current TV and radio personality. Emcee for the service was Betty's son-in-law Dr. Kenneth W. Kizer. Following the church ceremony everyone was invited to a reception at the Atlantis Casino Resort Spa.
In order that her breakthrough status will continue to be remembered locally an endowed scholarship has been established in her name at the Reynolds School of Journalism at the University of Nevada, Reno. As stated in the description of the scholarship, "The Betty Stoddard Muncie Scholarship will be a lasting legacy for the courageous woman who became the guest in so many Northern Nevada homes via radio and TV."
Gifts and donations can be sent to: The Betty Stoddard Muncie Scholarship Fund, c/o UNR Foundation, Mail Stop 0007, University of Nevada, Reno, NV 89557-0007.

Houston >Red Cat Jazz Cafe
711 Franklin Street, Houston, TX | Directions 7700229.764452651143074 -95.36244660615921
M Closed, Tu-F 6pm-2am, Sa 8pm-2am, Su 11am-2am
Neighborhoods: Downtown, Central
It Was Once A Great Place – Red Cat has totally taken a turn. I took my parents there a few years back and it was an awesome experience - great music, ambiance, food and service, however I revisited a couple months ago and it was a big disappointment. The service was way too slow, despite there being very few customers. We were charged a fee at the door, which was not worth it - depending on how much you paid determined where you could sit, but it was once open seating. The band was decent but definitely ruined by the acoustics and host which were both way too loud and overbearing, and the waitress was inexperienced and had no clue how to serve. A big waste of money in such a short period of time; we couldn't wait to finish our food and drinks so we could leave and never return. The food was decent and very affordable, but all other factors of the experience outweighed this positive. Red Cat was once a good place... not sure who's managing now, but they're doing a terrible job... so sad to see a place I once loved and recommended to all my friends and Houston visitors become such a disappointment.
Horrible Service, Food, Drinks – My girlfriend and I went on last Saturday to receive a drunk radio personality talking way tooo long and a late musician. We paid 20.00 to get in and they didn't have any pineapple juice, I ordered a seafool platter that didn't have any shrimp on it, but they substituted with wings. HORRIBLE. If you want to listen to jazz visit Joe Carmouche Jazz Cafe, not the Red Catt, Horrible experience every time I go and its getting worse.
Terrible service, second rate food – We went there on a Sunday when no band was playing yet and they still tried to charge us $10 to get in. Although we were the only people there who were eating it still took us 30min to get our food. To top it all off the server brought us our appetizers and entrees out at the same time!!! The counter top was sticky and gray with some kind of residue. Right within my line of vision I had a great view of what must have been the service entrance which for some unfathomable reason they had propped open with a trash can. I could see gross mop buckets, dirty floor and disgusting aprons while I was eating. Plus the drinks were way overpriced $14 for a captain and coke. Don't expect the bartender to know how to prepare any complicated drink either. I don't know what he thinks a long island is but it wasn't the crap he tried to give me. All in all it was a TERRIBLE experience, and I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy.
Horrible... – Everytime we go to the Red Cat we say we will never go back, but I love live music and it is hard to find in Houston so....I had made a reservation for a centerstage table and was told that if I didn't get there before 9:00 PM that I would lose the reservation. Got there before 9:00 PM and there were people at our table and the "manager" (who was also the sound guy) ask the people to move. So my friend and I were thirsty and we waited on our waitress..and waited and waited. When she emerged she came with A menu (meaning ONE), that my friend and I were to share, wtf? Waitress took our drink order, and to be honest I keep it simple there because the bartenders are novices (just know that from experience) I ordered a margarita on the rocks and my friend ordered kettle one with pineapple and cranberry juice. So we get our drinks and hers looks like red koolaid! So my friend takes her own drink back to the bar to be told that they don't have pineapple juice! On a Friday night! Are you kidding me???!!! Food was Sysco branded food and came out cold. The performer of the evening was late and then only performed for an hour. My friend attempted to get Sam's (the owner) attention about the bad experience, but it was just like the reviews...I will definitely not go back...ever. He pretty much has children running his club, from the hostess to the waitstaff and bartenders. There was not one seasoned professional in the house, and that includes Sam Pink.
Before You Park...Good Luck... – So...it all started Friday night when I attended a party for some friends at Hotel Icon (across the street from The Red Cat). We pulled up to the valet in front of The Red Cat since they were the closest parking service (Front Row Valet) to the side of the street on which we were. There were no retrictions posted to indicate they only parked for The Red Cat. As the attendant took my key, I asked what time they closed to which he responded, "We close when they close."
We emerged from Hotel Icon at 1:15 a.m. only to find ghost town across the street...business had completely shut down at The Red Cat and Front Row Valet.
While my vehicle was parked in front of the strip, with no key on hand, that did me little good! I enlisted the help of two HPD officers. Not One Single Phone Number or Hours of Operation were listed Anywhere!
Friends of ours that live in Champions & were at Icon, drove us home to Sienna Plantation.
I called the manager (Amora) placed me on hold 3 times while she seated guests and apparently spoke with the owner.
She then apologized for "the inconvenience" and asked what I would like. I exclaimed that I would LIKE to get my key back & for them to post some accurate and updated information to better communicate their hours of operation and services.
She said I was welcome to stop by and pick up my key the next day, Sunday, at 8:00 p.m. (!...not 11:00 a.m. like the voicemail stated).
I changed my Saturday evening plans and went to The Red Cat to retrieve my key and have my face-to-face conversation with the ever-elusive, Mr. Sam Pink.
Mr. Pink himself descended from his throne to speak with me. He rudely brushed by me to walk outside indicating that I should follow him. I proceeded to share my disgust at the procedures in which his affiliated parking service closed early with no means of contact and the inaccuracy of information posted online and on their voicemail. He claimed the valet did not close early Friday night to which I replied, "Bullsh***!" I know what time the officers and myself were peering with flashlights into his establishment looking for signs of life.
Needless to say, the rest of the conversation ensued in a like manner with this arrogant, smart-aleck not taking any responsibility at all for the actions of his valet service or his miscommunication of business operation.
I mentioned that a review I read on CitySearch was, in fact, right on with the interaction I was receiving. Sam Pink replied with a statement to the effect of, "I don't care about CitySearch...that's a paid subscription." Really?! All I did was create an account and log on...!
While Mr. Pink implied that I was the only one that took issue with his means of communication and operation, it is evident from the recent reviews listed here that I am truly Not The Only One. When I visited The Red Cat almost a year ago, I concur that the service was just as slow and inefficient for mediocre food as the other reviews state.
My parting comment to Mr. Pink was that if he was interested in attracting and maintaining a professional crowd of clientele who could spend money in his establishment, regardless of the economy, he may want to consider revising his practices. His reply was, "Ya'll have a good time."
It is truly a shame that Mr. Pink's lack of empathy and humility will now exclude patronage of my professional and social associates...because there are all those other patrons beating the door down until...hmmm, 1:00 a.m. on a Friday night.
Incredibly rude management and owner!!!! – My man and I were looking for a place to enjoy nice live music and thought that Red Cat was the place to go. We were so wrong! We arrived at about 7:15 and were seated by someone at the hostess stand (not even sure that he was a host). He gave us a booth right in front of the stage and proceeded to tell us about the performer that night, that we were in for a treat, and to enjoy the show. So we ordered drinks, appetizers, and dinner. During the course of the meal, the wait staff and management seemed to be behind in opening and were still setting up for the night. Someone actually climbed up on a booth directly behind me to light a lantern as I was eating. We were close to finishing our meal around 9pm when a man came to our table and asked us if we were staying for the show. We replied, of course (that's why we came). He then told us that we would have to pay $20 per person and that we would have to move b/c the table that we had been sitting at for the past 1.5 hours was reserved. I told him that that was absolutely ridiculous and extremely tacky. I asked to speak with the manager, which turned out to be him. A cover charge was never relayed to us, nor the fact that we were seated at an already reserved table. He was not accomodating at all and it took him about 15 min to apologize for the mishap. He then told us that we could stay if we shared one side of the booth with another couple and still paid $20 per person, which was not a compromise b/c my man is 6'4" 250lbs. How would we be able to share our booth??? We then asked to speak with the owner. At first we were told that we would have to wait a few minutes, which we did. The the "manager" came back and told us that the owner was TOO BUSY AND WOULD NOT COME OVER TO SPEAK TO US. I couldn't believe it!! How is it that the owner who was standing about 20 ft from us refused to talk us??? At that point we realized that they were only concerned about the money they made and we left immediately.
We ended up at Legends Jazz Cafe, which did not have a cover charge, had great music, and exceptional customer service.
Great atmosphere, food and music!!! – I took my family to the Red Cat last Friday for my daughter?s 21st birthday, and we had a fantastic time. The cover was $20 which surprised me after reading the other reviews, but the service was fantastic and the music was great.
The owner came over and introduced himself and was very cordial. Music was outstanding and the band and performers played long sets. The food tasted very good. The only suggestion for improvement is the food was served warm and not hot.
We will definitely be going back.
Not enough Jazz for your $$ – Visited 1/2/2009. Paid cover charge of $10/pp. If you arrive later than 9:30pm expect to stand. Very good band but speakers were "too loud" for such a small space - you couldn't talk with your guests. The decor is nice. We ordered the sampler $24.95 for a 2-3 pieces catfish, boudain ball, hot wings and fries. Catfish strips - Good! Stay away from boudain ball & wings! - Not Good! Drinks are watered-down and soft drinks just as for carbonated water.
Try for yourself though - don't forget to post your experience
Poor Service – My fiance and I went to the Red Cat, Saturday (around 9:30 pm). The cover charge was $10.00 per person which is fine as long as I have a place to sit, Well, we paid to get in and the place was over packed. There was absolutely no where to sit. I went back to the hostess stand and asked her what were we suppose to do because we definitely were not gonna stand up. She looked around (from her station) and proceeded to tell us to check upstairs (which my fiance did again). Finally, I had enough and recieved a refund and we left. I had been at the Red Cat before (2 years ago) and it wasn't this bad, In my opinion all they're worried about is making a dollar. Why in the hell would you allow people to inside when you know you don't have enough room to seat them? For the people that were standing on the wall I can't see how they were doing it. The music wasn't that damn good.
Don't go for the food – We went tonight mainly for the food which we had to pay a cover charge-no biggie-it's a jazz club. We waited over 40 minutes just for appetizers which I paid 7 or 8.95 for 4 pieces of the chicken wing (1 wing +1 piece of the wing). It was also suppose to be hot buffalo wings not knowing they were just fried and you put your own sauce on it. Then I ordered the Bourbon Broil Steak which was the most tasteless piece of steak I have ever had and a dallop of garlic mashed potatoes which were cold. It was suppose to be served with dirty rice also but instead received green beans-which I do not eat-and was later told they did not have any dirty rice. I was never offered anymore to drink and my friends food was cold also. On top of that there was an 18% gratuity added to the bill which I can't understand why when it was only two people. Needless to say they will never have to worry about me again. Very disappointing.

Q:Acanthus - 'Bears Breeches'
I bought this plant from you last year and although it is still alive it doesn't grow very big and has never really formed any breeches. What am I doing wrong? Thank youAsked on 4/15/2010 by Lis Wallace
1 answer
A:Hello There, I am not really sure why your Acanthus is not thriving, although it is worth keeping in mind that they die right back in autumn and wont really have started growing much (if at all) just yet this year. If you planted yours later in the year last year, then this would explain while there has been little growth, but if it was planted in the earlier part of the year then perhaps the plant was concentrating on putting on root growth rather than top growth. They like a spot in full sun or partial shade with deep, fertile, well-drained soil and given time they are quite boisterous, so I would try to improve the growing conditions if you can and hopefully you will see some action soon. I'm sorry not to be more help. Helen Plant DoctorAnswered on 4/15/2010 by Crocus Helpdesk
Q:Why won't my Bear's breeches flower?
It's in a half sunny/half shaded spot and it's leaves seem healthy enough - altough some of them have brown edges - and I've been feeding it. Yet it just won't flower. Any ideas. Thanks, AndreeAsked on 6/22/2009 by Andree Frieze
1 answer
A:Hello Andree, The most likely cause is either too much shade, or not enough of the right nutrients. To encourage flowering, you can feed it with a high potash fertiliser, which should give it a bit of a push. I hope this helps. Helen Plant DoctorAnswered on 6/22/2009 by Crocus Helpdesk

If London contained only its landmarks it would still rank as one of the world's top destinations. But England's capital is much more. It is a bevy of English bobbies, an ocean of black umbrellas, and an unconquered continuance of more than 2,000 years of history. Now an uber-cool city, London remains history-steeped. Drop in on Buckingham Palace, delight in Pollock's Victorian toy museum, then get Beatle-ized at Abbey Road. You'll find London is a Dickens of a place.

Study looks at the use of personal encouragement in regulating the behavior of preschool students.
Shelly Patrick '09 presented, "Personal Encouragement in Preschool Students" at the Symposium for Artists & Scholars on April 17, 2009 at Randolph College.
Patrick conducted the research project with her faculty mentor, Peggy Schimmoeller, associate professor of education, while an undergraduate student at Randolph College.
An abstract of her project follows...
The ability to regulate negative emotions and impulsive reactions is one of the important components for children's social-emotional competence. This action research project was designed to minimize noise while preschoolers moved through the halls in a public elementary school. Baseline data that recorded behaviors that occurred while lining up and walking down the hall was collected ten times over a period of one week. Personal encouragement was then used with a subgroup of children to determine if the encouragement would decrease inappropriate behaviors. Preliminary analyses on preschool data indicates significant differences between the baseline data and the intervention data. Personal encouragement reduced acting-out behaviors, resulting in students' ability to self-regulate while encouragement was given by the teacher. However, children found it difficult to sustain self-regulation without adult support.
The Student Symposium of Artists and Scholars provides Randolph College students from all classes and disciplines the opportunity to present the results of their research, scholarship, and creative work to the entire College community and beyond.
The two-day symposium, modeled after a typical academic conference, features oral presentations of student research, readings of creative work, musical performances, and exhibitions of student artwork. The symposium also includes a poster session, reception and a keynote address from a noteworthy academic speaker.

Short one this week…
Capital Markets
Equity markets rallied sharply from this week's lows, and they've sustained the rally for two days. If I'm not mistaken, it also breaks a series of Friday declines. The reason for the rally is a general swing to optimism by investors on the comments of one man, European Central Bank chief Mario Draghi, who said–during our waking hours the morning of July 26th–that…
Within our mandate, the ECB is ready to do whatever it takes to preserve the euro. And believe me, it will be enough.
Those are pretty strong words, and the market took part of them at their face value. Unfortunately, the markets neglected two key things.
A couple of things belie the rally of the last two days. From the table above, one can see that Emerging Markets were down on the week, while they would be big beneficiaries of a healing of the Europe problem. Second, I did not confirm this, myself, but I had heard that sovereign bonds had not responded with as much vigor as the [what seem to me to be just oversold] stocks.
Gold responded as strongly as any of the major (i.e. non-country) equity indexes above, and that suggests that the notion of quantitative easing (in the U.S.) and the ESM becoming a bank (in the end, money printing, aka quantitative easing) are getting some traction.
Oh, and wouldn't you think that an open-ended, final-answer promise to "save the Euro," would have prompted a rally in…uh…the Euro?
This Week
Eight economic releases stood out this week. In chronological order…
So the tally is four worse than before; two unchanged; two better than the prior release. Versus expectations, it was almost a flip-flop, where five were better than expected; just three were worse than expected.
It's the comparison against expectations that allowed the Citigroup Economic Surprise index to turn up, and the stock market with it, as is on display below.
The whole money game is about expectations–from earnings estimates to economic forecasts. Those guesses about the future get priced into securities and markets, while actual results either surpass, meet, or fall short of the estimates, leaving markets to recalibrate their assessments of securities, markets, and economies.
As can be seen from the top panel of the chart above, there is a pattern to economists' estimates. They aren't entirely a random walk. Instead, economists–for extended periods of time–consistently over or underestimate the strength of the–in this case–U.S. economy. We've just gone through one of those stretches of underestimating the strength of the economy, and it appears that the economy is transitioning to a period of better strength than economists are expecting. That says nothing about whether the economy is strengthening, just whether or not it's beating economists' consensus forecasts.
Next Friday, we will see the release of what will arguably be August's biggest economic release, Nonfarm Payrolls. From July 2011 through February 2012, the number of jobs added exceeded what economists had forecast, so economists ratcheted up their forecasts until the number of jobs started coming up short, and from March 2012 through July 2012, the number of jobs created was less than expected; i.e. economists have been too optimistic, and that has to be getting old.
As a consequence–as of today–economists think that 100,000 jobs will have been added to the establishment payrolls. They will revise those estimates through next Thursday, and the consensus estimate will likely change after Wednesday, when ADP releases its Employment Change index.
I've talked to a number of folks
who believe in aliens who believe that everything is a conspiracy, and the conspiracy du jour is that the figures are all bunk (I don't necessarily disagree, per se, but they've been bunk because they're faulty measures for some time) and the White House will pull out all stops to ensure its present resident gets to renew his lease on one Pennsylvania Avenue set of digs. So, combine that with chastened economists who want to get a forecast right–they've been on the wrong side (optimism) and need to get on the right side (currently, pessimism)–and you've got a recipe for a positive surprise in the Nonfarm Payrolls–August's biggest release–which kicks off the second half rally that is typical of election years. I'm just guessing, not promising.
