The living room is the hub of most modern homes, and as such it typically houses the most impressive furniture. Italian furniture manufacturer Tumidei created these modern living rooms using their Laltrogiorno furniture system.
Another very popular element in most modern living rooms is modular furniture. It allows you to have a flexible interior and to reorganize the decor according to your needs and preferences. It is also practical and versatile.
For starters, the pull out the coffee table modules (which double as footstools) reveal a three-seat couch with padded cushions. Side wings flip up and out to make additional side-table space. A few quick conversions and the available surface area is multiplied a few times over – making room for you to take a seat with a few guests and kick up your feet as well.

By DENNIS WASZAK Jr., AP Sports Writer
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — New York Jets wide receiver Jermaine Kearse says the NFL should get rid of Thursday night games because they are detrimental to players' health.
Kearse was asked about the short weeks after he watched former Seattle teammate Richard Sherman suffer a season-ending Achilles tendon injury in the Seahawks' win against the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday night.
The veteran receiver says Friday that he can't speak for all players, but thinks games on Thursday nights aren't helpful because of the short recovery time after playing on Sunday.
Kearse says the NFL Players Association needs to address the issue during its next discussions with the league.
He adds if players gets banged up Sunday, they often aren't ready to play until the following Saturday.

Bureaucrats become slaves to the system they enter, feeding on mankind's primal instinct for order.
In Biblical times, tax collectors of the Roman Empire were hated and despised, reviled as collaborators who extorted tax from their fellow citizens on behalf of the local Roman governor. In the provinces of Syria or Judea, aside from gathering the prescribed tax levies, collectors could even accost a man in the street and tax him for what he was carrying. They became very wealthy through the fees they added on top of the tax.
With a logic that would warm the cockles of a modern investment banker's heart, the Romans imposed governance and infrastructure protocols on territories they had invaded, saddling the recently acquired dominions with the cost of their invasion and colonisation.
Rome regarded their rule as a privilege to be bestowed and decided its expense should be borne by the conquered provinces. In Judea, for instance, every man paid one percent of his income in tax, but there were also random sales taxes, import and export taxes, 10 percent crop taxes, 20 percent taxes on wine and olive oil, property taxes, and special taxes used for raising armies and militias.
It was a big money-go-round, with the rights to extort tax going to local collectors who put in the highest bids. The Romans were happy, the tax collectors were happy; in fact, the only people who weren't happy were the long- suffering Jews, who hated not only the Romans, but their tax collecting toadies, too. The latter were regarded as being in the same class as outcasts and prostitutes.
Fast-forward to today and not much has changed, except that supposedly respectable accountancy firms are now doing a lot of the tax-gathering work, enriching themselves in the process. No wonder accountancy firms regard the IRD as their best friend.
The more complex our governmental regulations, the more accountants have emerged to manage compliance, which is why the Inland Revenue Department has been able to conscript the support of the profession.
Our cities' skylines are dominated by office towers occupied by service organisations that don't make or do anything; instead, they record, hoard and administer. We've been taken over by bureaucrats, be they in accounting, law or banking.
It's an indication of where the money flows most freely. Bureaucracies grow by feeding on themselves. The more rules and regulations we have, the more paper-sliders we have to administer them.
Imagine a world where artists and writers are paid at a rate of $500-$750 per hour – and by law, citizens are required to buy one of their original works each year, or risk going to jail.
Who'd have the tall buildings then? But that is precisely the regime under which accountants work. If companies (or non- PAYE-paying individuals) don't pay tax, they get taken to court and can get put in the slammer! How many occupations are supported by that kind of threat?
Bureaucrats, many of whom enter the organisational labyrinth as clever, caring and dedicated human beings, become slaves to the system they enter. Consciously or unconsciously, they feed on mankind's primal instinct for order, justifying their existence by identifying problems that need solving, arguing or assuming that they can't be solved by common sense and unspoken civil consent, but rather by rules, regulations and compliance protocols.
There was a time when the tallest buildings in town were occupied by manufacturing companies, the powerhouses of commerce who made and sold stuff, creating wealth in the process.
Now commerce is dominated by non- productive and inherently inflationary activities that involve sliding money around, adding cost but little value.
For example, we know of cases where accounting firms, appointed as receivers or liquidators, have used preferential creditor claims to induce defendants to settle out of court. While ostensibly claimed on behalf of the IRD, the amounts recovered from the out of court settlements can be completely taken up as fees by liquidators and lawyers – sanctioned by the IRD.
It's a game liquidators play. The dilemma for the defendants is that the cost of going to court is roughly the same as settling, with the hollow benefits of avoiding the distraction of the process, and the possibility of an adverse court decision.
This is a legalised rort, enabling those with special knowledge of legal process to put their snouts in the public trough, but I believe it is also an abuse of a professional responsibility that should be brought to public attention and curtailed.
The Romans had a saying, 'Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?': Who will guard the guardians?

recycling bottle necks and batteries
Submitted by sproutingforth on Tue, 2008-07-01 11:30
The good news is that Pick n Pay is providing recycle bins for energy-saving light bulbs and rechargeable batteries. Philips, who have a recycling plant going up in Lesotho, have teamed up with Pick n Pay to recycle CFLs (compact fluorescent light bulbs). Without this facility, the mercury from these lamps would leach into landfill and our environment. Pick n Pay has teamed up with Uniross to recycle batteries, also responsible for leaching hazardous substances. You can now throw your rechargeable batteries into bins provided throughout Pick n Pay stores. Pick n Pay is mounting an awareness campaign to encourage people to buy rechargeable, as opposed to disposable, batteries – SA consumes some 50 million batteries a year, 95% of which are disposable.
No sooner do we write our green your recycling guide , then we read about a recycling bottleneck. Why? It appears that one of the country's major glass recycling companies, Enviroglass, has stopped emptying bottle banks. They've decided to concentrate on recycling scrap metal rather than glass. Consol has estimated that there are about 1500 bottle banks across the country, mostly in Gauteng and Cape Town and that Enviroglass is the largest of three service providers responsible for emptying them. They are being generous though: they're donating the bottle banks, most of which they own, to the community…![business day]
Finally, the government is in favour of recycling hundreds of tons of highly-radioactive spent uranium fuel. The uranium is from the country's three nuclear reactors. Naturally, there are international concerns as one of the components is plutonium, even though it isn't weapon-grade. But what about the environment? What are the possible impacts of recycling and potentially exposing the environment and us to uranium? At the moment, low and intermediate-level waste from Koeberg is sent to a storage facility at Vaalputs in the Northern Cape, whilst high-level waste, mainly spent fuel rods, is kept at the power station. The motive behind the recycling is obviously the high cost of fuel, as by recycling 95% of the used fuel can be re-used. [IOL]

Jo Pavey and the British men's 4x400m team win silver medals as the European Championships in Helsinki draw to a close
With two more medals on the last day of action at the European Championships in Helsinki, Great Britain ended the week by finishing sixth on the medals table.
Although Britain did not field a full-strength team, the tally of seven medals was somewhat disappointing given that it was not a global championships and entries in many of the events were severely diluted. Britain have been set a target of eight medals – one more than they won this week in the Finnish capital – for the London 2012 Olympics.
Of the small handful of genuine Olympic medal hopes that were in action in Helsinki, a few of them performed well, including Mo Farah in the 5000m and Robbie Grabarz in the high jump, both winning gold. But others – such as discus thrower Lawrence Okoye and most of the relay teams – had a disappointing championships.
Nevertheless, there were numerous surprise performers throughout the week, not just from the British team, but from other nations across all events.
In today's 10,000m final, Jo Pavey continued her renaissance on the track to win her first European medal, ten years after making her debut at the championships. Portugal's Dulce Felix broke away from the field after the sixth kilometre and opened up a lead that at one point grew to roughly ten seconds.
With a few laps to go, Felix was clearly on her way to an assured gold medal. Pavey was sat in behind Ukraine's Olga Skrypak, having dropped European cross-country champion Fionnuala Britton. Coming into the final home straight, Pavey kicked past Skrypak to sprint into a clear silver medal position, hacking Felix's lead down to five seconds.
Felix won in 31:44.75 with Pavey clocking 31:49.07. Pavey's team-mate Charlotte Purdue, in her final chance to achieve the Olympic 'A' standard of 31:45, was sixth in 32:28.46, while fellow Brit Gemma Steel was ninth in 32:46.32.
There were mixed fortunes for Britain in the relays. Having crashed out of yesterday's semi-finals, the British women were absent in the 4x100m as a well-drilled German team struck gold in 42.51 from the Netherlands, who set a national record of 42.80. Pre-race favourites and defending champions Ukraine messed up their first changeover and did not even make it to half way.
The British men suffered the same misfortune, though, as Christian Malcolm and Dwain Chambers failed to complete the first hand off, despite being the two most experienced members of the GB team. Netherlands went one better than they did in the women's race to win a surprise gold with another national record of 38.34. Defending champions France did not have individual silver medallist Jimmy Vicaut on the team and finished third (38.46) just a fraction behind Germany (38.44).
But the two countries who fumbled their exchanges in the 4x100m – Ukrainian women and British men – went on to make amends in the 4x400m relay. Nigel Levine ran a storming opening leg for Great Britain with Conrad Williams and Rob Tobin both maintaining the big lead.
Anchor leg runner Richard Buck did his best but it was not quite good enough to hold off the might of Kevin Borlee, who made up significant ground to pass Buck in the home straight, giving Belgium victory in 3:01.09. Britain clocked 3:01.56 to take their third successive silver at the Europeans, with Germany finishing 0.21 behind in third.
Ukraine, meanwhile, won the women's race in 3:25.07 to hold off France (3:25.49) and the Czech Republic (3:26.02). A half-strength British team that was lacking the likes of Christine Ohuruogu and Perri Shakes-Drayton narrowly missed out on bronze, finishing just 0.18 behind the Czech Republic.
Renaud Lavillenie successfully defended his European pole vault title with a world-leading 5.97m – his second-best outdoor clearance to date. Germany's Bjorn Otto, who at 34 is enjoying arguably his bestever year, took silver with an outdoor PB of 5.92m, defeating team-mates Raphael Holzdeppe and Malte Mohr, both clearing 5.77m.
Britain's JJ Jegede finished an agonising fourth in the long jump final, made all the more gutting by the fact that he was in a medal position until the penultimate round, courtesy of a marginally wind-assisted 8.10m. Spain's Luis Felipe Meliz led at halfway, having produced his best jump for 10 years with 8.21m to place four centimetres ahead of Sweden's Michel Torneus.
Two-time European indoor champion Sebastian Bayer, having leapt two big fouls in the opening rounds, kept in the competition by virtue of his third-round 8.03m. On his fifth attempt he sailed out to 8.33m to take the lead, and improved by one centimetre in the final round to seal the gold medal.
The men's 110m hurdles proved to be one of the highest-quality track finals of the championships, but the semi-final was even more surprising. Despite having to run into a -1.1m/s headwind, 21-year-old Sergey Shubenkov broke his own Russian record with 13.09 – the fastest time by a European athlete since Ladji Doucoure won the 2005 world title. Shubenkov went on to win gold in the final with 13.16 with Garfield Darien defending his silver medal (13.20) and Poland's Artur Noga returning to form in third to equal the Polish record (13.27)
World indoor bronze medallist Asli Cakir led a Turkish 1-2 in the women's 1500m, winning in 4:05.31 with the much-improved Gamze Bulut taking silver in 4:06.04. Ukraine's Anna Mishchenko won bronze (4:07.74) ahead of Russia's sub-four runner from this season, Yekaterina Gorbunova, and defending champion Nuria Fernandez.
Norway's Henrik Ingebrigtsen, winner of the men's 1500m, was one of the biggest surprise champions of the week. The 21-year-old finished 13th in his heat at last year's European Under-23 Championships, but today in Helsinki he out-sprinted European cross-country champion Florian Carvalho of France to take gold in 3:46.20. David Bustos of Spain took bronze in 3:46.45, just 0.12 behind Carvalho.
Croatia's Sandra Perkovic became the first woman since Ilke Wyludda in 1994 to successfully defend a European discus title. Having served a sixth-month drugs ban for a stimulant since winning gold in Barcelona two years ago, Perkovic overcame two early fouls to unleash a 67.62m throw in round three to edge out world silver medallist Nadine Muller (65.41m). Ukraine's Nataliya Semenova took bronze with 62.91m.
Having seen Betty Heidler – the woman who last year took her world record – crash out in qualifying, Anita Wlodarczyk was a class apart in the women's hammer final. Her opening mark of 74.02m would have been enough to take gold, but she improved to 74.29m in round four. Slovakia's Martina Hrasnova was almost a metre behind with 73.34m for silver, while Anna Bulgakova of Russia secured the bronze with 71.47m. British record-holder Sophie Hitchon, competing in her first major championships final, was 11th with 67.17m.

I've played Paradox games for years, ever since i found the first HOI. I've owned all the HOI series, EU II, III and IV. Victoria I & II and now just jumped in to CK2 with both feet buying all the DLC's. I really enjoy it so far, the intrigue and close attention to managing people. my experience is still limited and i haven't played to the 1000s yet but I think it could be improved upon by having more options through war and diplomacy. Also, as I learned through the podcast, the Francs naval patrols discouraged the Vikings from raiding and I'm suprised there is no naval combat. even if it's just grappling and boarding.

1.0 Marketing: An Introduction
There are several definitions for marketing mentioned in marketing textbooks. A general thinking about marketing is only selling and promotion. Every day we see so many television commercials, newspapers ads, and sales calls, which shows that someone always try to sell something. A general definition of marketing: the act or process of buying and selling in a market.
During the past three decades, marketing concepts has been changed. The focus of marketing from the product to the customer, but objective was still profit, and the means of achieving the objective was selling or agree the potential customer to exchange their money for the company's product. So, the marketing is a social and managerial process by which groups and individuals obtain what they need and what they want through creating, offering and freely exchanging products and services of values with others. For managerial definition, marketing as 'the art of selling products.'' Peter Drucker has defined marketing as:
There is always, one can assume, be need for selling. But the aim of marketing is to make selling superfluous. The aim of marketing is to know and understand the customer so well that the product or service fits him and sell itself. Ideally marketing should result in a customer who is ready to buy. All that should be needed then is to make the product or service available.'' (Kotler, P., 2000, pp. 7-8)
Peter Drucker also makes clear that: 'Marketing is so basic that it cannot not be considered a separate function within the business.. it is, first, a central dimension of the entire business. It is the whole business seen from the customer's point of view. Concern and responsibility for marketing must, therefore, permeate all areas of the enterprise.'' He also makes an emphasis on the basic function of the marketing is marketing and innovation. 'Marketing and Innovation are the two chief functions of business. You get paid for creating a customer, which is marketing. And you get paid for creating a new dimension of performance, which is innovation. Everything else is a cost center.'' His concept of marketing as a philosophy is valid, but that philosophy must be operationalized. The firm must undertake a set of activities or tasks to create a customer or defeat competitors. A definition given by Tim Cohn (Marketing Consultant and Author):...

Jews pushing to blackwash James Bond
report from smoloko
The other day I stumbled upon an interview in which Barbara Broccoli, the owner of the Bond movie franchise, said she was open to the idea of making Bond a black man or even a woman lol. There is no doubt about it that the Jews who control Hollywood, the motion picture and entertainment industries of both America and Europe are applying heavy pressure on the Broccoli family to make Bond black. I very much doubt that Barbara Broccoli really wants to go in such a direction which would spell the end of the Bond franchise but this is exactly what the Jews want because it's just another piece of the puzzle to their White Genocide Project. They want to totally destroy the White race and that even includes our most precious entertainment icons and symbols such as James Bond who for years has been a masculine influence for young white males. But the Jews wish to feminize white males as to minimize a backlash against them. The rat kike movie director Steven Spielberg known for his big budget holohoax propaganda films such as Schindler's list and Saving Private Ryan, has publicly stated he hopes Bond becomes black. Fuck you Spielberg.
As a child and teenager I was a huge James Bond fan and there's no doubt about it that Bond had a big impact on me and it was a positive impact. Let me explain why. Bond is a man of class who dresses well and takes immense pride in his wardrobe. He projects strength and asserts himself with women, has mad game and is a man of action who sets high goals for himself and accomplishes his objectives no matter what the odds are. All these things had a positive influence on me growing up and helped mold me into the classy and masculine young man I am today.
A man who presents himself with class and projects strength to those around him
Here's a classic scene from Goldfinger (1964) where Bond smacks a woman's ass and tells the bitch to get away while he discusses serious matters with his male colleague. Such a scene would not be permitted in today's judeo-feminist dominated western culture.
The Jews want to take this classic movie icon away from young white males and if they do succeed in pressuring the Bond producers into niggerizing the Bond character then I will be very, very sad.
The Bond producers have already capitulated on blackwashing many of the once white characters in the 007 franchise such as Miss MoneyPenny and Felix Leiter, but that's not good enough for the kikes.
left side – Bond's CIA friend felix leiter from white to black and on the right side – MI6 secretary Miss MoneyPenny from white to black…it's just a (((coincidence))) though goyim…
How would the blacks feel if their iconic movie character known as Shaft were to be changed into white man? Such a transition would surely cause anger among the jews, blacks and liberals and be hailed as 'racism' and intolerance. But strangely a different standard applies to traditional white literary and movie characters. Actually it's not strange and the hypocrisy and double standard only begins to make sense when you realize that this is all about the Jews grinding down and destroying the White race and European White culture.
Already the JEWS have manged to trash the classic White TV icon known as the Equalizer. The Equalizer was a cool 80's TV series drama about a retired CIA agent Robert McCall nicknamed 'The Equalizer' played by British actor Edward Woodward who would go around New York City
helping everyday people with serious problems. But in 2014, Jew run Hollywood remade the Equalizer into a movie and casted Denzel Washington as the leading role. This is nothing but pure unadulterated anti-white hatred and the intentional displacement of traditional
white characters.
by ms king
This isn't about hating other races. It's about saving European Man from deliberate destruction!
Political puppets generally have a personal buffer between themselves and the big masters. Woodrow Wilson had Edward Mandell House; FDR had Henry Morgenthau; Barack Obama has Valerie Jarrett.
For Winston Churchill, the personal handler, and a probable homosexual lover (here), was Frederick A. Lindemann a physicist whose German-Jewish family arrived in England when he was about 14 years old. He was known to friends as "the Prof" in reference to his position at the University of Oxford, and as "Baron Berlin" to his many detractors because of his German accent and haughty aristocratic manner.
Lindemann believed that a small circle of elites should run the world, resulting in a stable society, "led by supermen and served by helots." He believes that science can yield a race of humans blessed with "the mental makeup of the worker bee."
In Lindemann's Jewish supremacist worldview, the "worker bees" would be mixed race and the "supermen" would no doubt be the Zionist elite. Naturally, before this New World Order can emerge, the 'White Man' would have to first "abdicate" his leading position on Europe and America.
A brief excerpt from 'The Prof' –one of the many the biogarphies written about Lindemann:
"Professor Frederick Lindemann, the Chief Advisor to Winston Churchill and the inspiration and architect of the air crucifixion of Germany was in a reflective mood after the war. Toward the end of his life, Lindemann made a remark on more than one occasion with such an air of seriousness that he seemed to regard it as his testament of wisdom, and I accordingly feel it incumbent upon me to record it here, although not.in.perfect.sympathy withit.
'Do you know,' he asked, 'what the future historians will regard as the most important event of this age?'
'Well, what is it?'
'It will not be Hitler and the Second World War; it will not be the release of nuclear energy; it will not be the menace of Communism.'
These negatives seemed very comprehensive. He put on an expression of extreme severity and turned down the corners of his lips: 'It will be the abdication of the White man.' Then he nodded his head up and down several times to drive home his proposition."
* The Prof' — R.F Harrod, McMillan, 1959. Page 261/2. A Personal Memoir Lord Cherwell
Lindemann was the true architect of the Dresden Holocaust of innocent Germans. — all part of the "abdication" of "The White Man" to his Tribe.
Understand Professor Lindemann — and you will understand the higher purpose behind the "politically correct" madness of "diversity" that is sweeping away European Man and European culture.
White Man! The Masters of the New World Order, having already obtained your "abdication". They are now targeting you for final elimination in so many little ways that you may not have noticed – as illustrated below.
The British School System has "abdicated" to diversity.
The Education System has "abdicated" to diversity.
The culprits behind the "abdication" have been named — straight from the horse's own mouth:
"The transformation (to multi-culturalism) must take place. Europe is not going to be the monolithic society that it once was in the last century. Jews are going to be at the center of that. Its a huge transformation for Europe to make. They are now going into a multi cultural mode and Jews are going to be resented because of our leading role. But without that leading role and without that transformation, Europe will not survive." (here)
– Barbara Lerner Specter
Specter's "migrant" friends are fueling an epidemic of violence and rape in formerly peaceful Sweden; an emasculated nation of only 10,000,000 with a birth rate below replacement and 100,000 virile, fertile immigrants pouring in each year.
For the complete story of who is behind the GENOCIDAL 'War on Whites" and why, read PLANET ROTHSCHILD — available as a pdf, Amazon paperback or Kindle. It will change the way you look at the fake world that has been pulled over your eyes.

How to kill an entire population without them resisting you?
by alicia frischmann
How to kill an entire people without them resisting you?
Step 1: Convince these people that race does not exist but all humans are one race with different skin colors, so they will believe they will be replaced "by themselves but different skin color"
Step 2: Create fake reasons why immigrants should come to live with that people (skilled workers, guest workers, refugees, students, family reunification…)
Step 3: Ban statistics on race and religion among different age sections of that nation
Step 4: Repeat the same lie that foreigners are just 5 or 7 percent and will not change your nation
Step 5: Give huge welfare money to foreigners to finance their useless presence or finance their breeding like rabbits of children
Step 6: allow every foreigner to bring his brothers, sisters, parents, cousins, wives and all family, who also will bring their relatives as well
Step 7: Give nationalities to all these foreigners
Step 8: promote all the movements that reduce the birth-rate of the natives such as anti-family movies, abortion, easy-sex, homosexuality, transcendentalism, individualism, easy-sex…
Step 9: Inflict poverty conditions on the native people by stripping them from their hard-work money to finance the welfare system. In France, Germany, Sweden, a young person who works will loose almost 32% of his/her monthly salary to the government which will make him/her reluctant on making Children or forming couples
Step 10: Promote race-mixing, miscegenation between the foreigners and the natives in every movie, every TV show, every cartoon for children, every education book, every publicity
Step 11: Ban free -speech about foreigners, Islam or race by imposing political correctness and social organizations that fight "racism" so the natives will shut their moths and accept their own genocide
Step 12: Promote the cultures of foreigners, promote Islam, promote all other races cultures and identities except the culture of the natives and Christianity
Step 13: Jail the leaders, the thinkers, the intellectuals & writers who are trying to awaken the masses by labeling them far-right Nazis who are spreading "hate" or "terror"
Step 14: Make the natives hate themselves, their history and all the great achievements of their ancestors. Re-write their History to destroy their pride in their race, ancestors or culture so they will not care about being replaced
Step 15: Promote Guilt in the brains of natives, that they are responsible for all the miseries of other races & nations
Step 16: Promote individualism, the lies of global warming & overpopulation and promote humanitarianism. So the natives will stop having babies, instead they think about global warming or they want to adopt children from other countries of different races
Step 17; Ban free-speech about the real rulers of that nation, the JEWS who are behind this sophisticate Genocide that will take just few generations to be accomplished
JEWS explained in 1883 their final goal
It's crazy no? Think about it. It is happening slowly so the Goyim will not notice. It is like putting a frog in cold water than increasing the temperature but very slowly so he can't feel the heat till he gets cooked. In fact we have to become like the Jews in our way of thinking, we have to think in terms of phases, every phase is a preparation for the next phase but the final goal remains the same. This is the main difference between the Jews and the non-Jews. Jews think in terms of decades, generations, centuries, even a thousand years. They are fanatically patient and work for their future generations while we even don't work for ourselves if not for our kids and grandkids. When will the Goyim start thinking in terms of generations? Take this simple example: When the Jews in USA opened the gates for non-Whites immigration after USA was accepting only European descents; nobody thought at that time that the non-Whites will outbreed and replace the Whites. It was too much unreal at that time. But Jews knew well what they will do in the 2nd phase. The 2nd phase was to create anti-racism laws and forced integration, forced assimilation of non-Whites in all White companies and housing, then the creation of a generous welfare system under the noble values of caring about others while the true goal was to finance the non-Whites so they can make too much children and accelerate the decline of Whites. Now the Jews say America is not a White country and is not a Christian country and was never evn, and they are removing all the monuments of the White history because they are "offensive" for non-Whites and "racist". See? Keep focusing on the final goal of the Jews: It is the complete destruction of races and cultures in top priority the White race and the European culture of America, and all what they do is to reach that goal. We just have to learn how they operate.

Sleepy girl right here.
Last weekend I purchased four solid wood dining chairs off of Craigslist for $35. Total score. We've been needing some solid chairs in our dining room, ones that don't feel like they're gonna fall out from under you. But with great savings can come great tribulations. So this week after Finn's in bed, I've been prepping the chairs for a new coat of white paint. And let me say this, prepping sucks.
Sanding and sanding and sanding some more. As you can see I couldn't find a mask so I had to go with Rob's bandanna...totally looking hardcore right? But really not at all. Just look at my girly punch. ;)
So with sanding finally complete, tonight I applied a liquid deglosser that is just an extra step to prep the surface of the chairs before painting. I'm really hoping the finish will last for a long time. Next up will be primer and paint. So I'm looking forward to getting this project done (hopefully next week?) and will share on here the subtle but welcomed transformation..
Earlier tonight, Finn and I went to the grocery store. Now Rob and I are both not fans of grocery shopping. It's usually accompanied with dread. But when Finn is added to the mix, he makes it a lot more fun. Waving at people and spreading his general cuteness all around. He's nice like that.
I remember my first trip to the store with him. At that point I was a strict user of those fancy shopping cart seat covers. But somehow it phased out quickly and now I just plop this boy in his seat and buckle him up. Yeah, sometimes he puts his mouth on the gross handle, and I say a desperate prayer under my breath, but overall he does well. So much to see in the grocery store...AND he can help pick out his food, hello...who doesn't like that?
Me: Vegetable turkey dinner, Finn?
Finn: No thank you mother dearest, I'll take that box of banana cookies instead.
He's "borrowed" that pink toy cell from his cousin and love-love-loves the thing. I tried taking it from him after getting out of the car but he had an anaconda grip on the thing. So into the store it came.
So anyway, I guess my type-A personality wishes I had taken more photos this week or did a quicker project to share with you, but I've got nothin. But that's alright. Random posts tend to be my forte. My cup of
I'm ready for you weekend...off to bed for now. Happy Friday, friends!
And a happy birthday to my beautiful sees!

LGBT activists in Russia announced that a May 17 rally in St. Petersburg will focus on victims of homophobic hate crimes, including Vladislav Tornovoy, who was raped with a beer bottle, stabbed and beaten to death in Volgograd last week, apparently because he was gay. Here is the announcement of the rally:
The annual St. Petersburg International Day against Homophobia and Transphobia rally will take place tomorrow, May 17, at 2 pm on Marsovo Pole – the "Hyde Park" of St. Petersburg, in the city center. Traditionally, a joyful celebration of our pride, during which we release rainbow balloons in the air as a symbol of our wish for a world free of homophobia and transphobia, this year's event will be dedicated to the memory of Vladislav Tornovoy, brutally murdered in Volgograd on May 9th of this year, and to all victims of homophobic hate crimes.

Vladislav Tornovoy (Photo courtesy of Gayrva.com)
In recent months, regions of Russia have been rapidly adopting the infamous "propaganda of homosexuality" laws, inscribing discrimination of LGBT into law and leading to growing violence against LGBT in society. Vladislav's murderers are allegedly trying to justify their actions by victim's assumed sexual orientation "offending their patriotic feelings". Members of extreme right groups refer to propaganda laws in their calls to violence. Yet, to this day, not a single homophobic crime in Russia has been qualified as hate crime, and LGBT is not officially recognized as a "social group". Tomorrow we want to say loudly and clearly NO to homophobic violence, NO to hate crimes against LGBT, and NO to homophobic politics.
The rally will take place despite numerous threats from members of extreme right and clerical organizations, such as the "Russian joggers" (Russkaya probezhka) and the "People's Council" (Narodny sobor). At last year's IDAHO rally, around 100 counter-protesters showed up to intimidate and attack the participants. Organizers hope that tomorrow's rally, permitted by city authorities, will have sufficient police presence to protect the participants. Other safety measures have also been taken.
The rally is planned to last one hour, with members of wider civil society and human rights organizations of St. Petersburg addressing the participants, after which, black and rainbow balloons will be launched into air. A minute of silence in memory of the victims of homophobic hate crimes will be observed.

Have you ever noticed this lovely dancing fountain at Epcot located just behind Spaceship Earth ? It's the Fountain of Nations and in addition to being a lovely point of interest for guests, it has been an important part of park history since Epcot opened in 1982.

Wednesday on ABC's "The View," while discussing if race payed a role in Republican President-elect Donald Trump's victory, co-host Whoopi Goldberg got emotional, saying there was a "whitelash" against the first black president.
Goldberg said, "You can say that there was no whitelash; there was a little bit of whitelash. I remember. I was there. I watched what's happened in America over the last eight years. Yeah he did win four years ago, and from that time also came all of the jokes about he's not American, he's not this, he's not that. And you know, hearing people make sort of the kind of off-center racist joke."
When co-host Jedediah Bila disagreed, pointing to President Barack Obama's popularity numbers and speculating he would have won a third term if he ran against a Trump, Goldberg said, "You're missing the point. You're missing the point. It's not whether — whether President Obama is running. What you've heard for the last four years is, you know, he doesn't speak for us, he doesn't know anything about us, he doesn't have our best interests at heart. Who are they talking about? He's an American president trying to help you."
She added, "This is why black people don't want to talk to white people because you can't — I'm sorry. Y'all just have to hold on because any time you say hey, this is what it feels like, people say, 'Oh, you're bringing out the race card.' So it makes you not want to have the conversation…because what you make me feel like is I'm not — I'm not — what I'm saying doesn't make any sense when I'm telling you this is why I feel like this and this is what's happening and this is why. So when you say it's all about, it's not ever all about. as Van said, in part, 'This is what it feels like,' so that's what I'm talking about."

The main event in the market this week was the release of the Fed minutes on Wednesday. The Fed minutes came and went with market participants parsing every syllable in the minutes in order to ascertain when tapering would arrive. That explained the weakness through Wednesday. But the schizophrenic market woke up on Thursday and brushed off those concerns only to rally into the week end. All the major indexes gained again this week with the Dow Jones Industrials, S&P 500 and the Russell 2000 small cap Index making new all time highs. The "melt up" continues and my target for the S&P is still 1860 although I am now considering that there's a fair chance that target will be exceeded by New Years.
Here's a daily chart of the Russell 2000:
It appears that small caps are resuming their leadership and their performance this week was incredible! When more speculative stocks are responding like this it is a very good sign for the market going forward.
The Dow cracked the 16,000 mark this week as the S&P broke through the 1800 level. Here's a weekly chart of the Dow Jones Industrials from the March, 2009 bottom:
Here's a daily chart of the S&P 500:
Notice the bottom panel under the price action. The MACD (Moving Average Convergence-Divergence) is flattening out which is indicative of a stock market that is slowly grinding higher. This is the "melt up".
Overall, breadth indicators are positive and depending on how you want to read them you can come away bullish or with some reservation on the markets inner strength. But we must all understand that the main driver for equities, either directly or indirectly, is central bank liquidity. Directly, money is finding its way into the market through the Fed and it's dealers. Indirectly, individual investors are starting to capitulate and funds are starting to move into the market from those who cannot find yield anywhere else and don't want to miss the ride higher. There seems to be no catalyst that can stop this market from steamrolling higher.
Treasuries are settling down and actually had a modestly positive week as it is starting to sink in with market participants that the Fed isn't tapering anytime soon and that when the tapering finally comes it will be with added "forward guidance" tools in the form of a possible lower threshold target for the unemployment rate to 5.5% and continued "jawboning" about anchoring the short end of the yield curve by keeping the Fed Funds rate at 0 for years to come. Indeed, as the Fed methodically repeats this mantra through Fed governor speeches the market may end up taking the tapering when it comes, in stride. Here's a weekly chart of the Ten Year Treasury yield :
What's noteworthy about the chart is that the Ten Year yield has not been able to decisively penetrate a long term resistance line going back to June 2007. Until it does no one can state that the epic thirty year bull market in bonds is over. Sure, we've seen the lows in interest rates; for some of us in our lifetimes. But until that resistance line is penetrated we can be comfortable with the notion that long term interest rates will stay low for some time to come.
A stable low interest rate environment is bullish for stocks in any market environment as investors will move into equities in search of the yield they cannot get in interest bearing instruments. So much more in our present environment where interest rates are at historic lows not seen since the depths of the Second World War.
Gold declined again this week and we're moving closer to that "make or break" $1,200.00 level that the yellow metal must hold. Here's a weekly chart of the precious metal with key support and resistance levels:
Regular readers of my commentary know the importance I've attached to gold not only as a prime inflationary indicator but as a leading deflationary indicator. A break below $1,200.00 will be a signal that deflationary forces are building momentum and a penetration of the $1,100.00 level will serve as correlating proof that those forces have a stranglehold on the global economy.
Commodities are still flat with only the slightest positive movement in spite of avalanches of liquidity emanating from the Fed and the BoJ (Bank of Japan). Here's a daily chart of the S&P GSCI Industrial Metals Index:
A case can be made that industrial metals are building a base and I would not take a position against that thesis. However, until industrial metals decisively break out above the black dashed resistance line on the chart above all we can say is that they are going nowhere.
Finally, I'm going to post a chart of the Japanese Yen which has been inversely correlated with global equities:
As the Yen rolls over again this recent inter market relationship continues to provide a tailwind for global stocks and especially US equities in the short term.
As stated in the title of this commentary, the market is melting up. We're experiencing that slow, steady grind higher in the averages where every short term weakness is met with the "buy the dip" mentality. Many pundits warn that this mentality and the complacency behind it is a sign that we are "near a top". But just the articulation of such a warning by so many market prognosticators is an indication of the very opposite; that this market has more room to head higher.
Just this week I received a call from a client asking, "when is the correction coming?" These type of concerns from the general public are NOT indicative of a market top. When I start getting calls asking, "How high are we going?" then I start worrying about a top.
On a short term basis the AAII Sentiment Index, which measures the percentage of individual investors who are bullish, bearish, and neutral on the stock market for the next six months has evened out and is no longer lopsided toward a bullish persuasion which, as a contrarian indicator, is good for the market going into year end.
The ten day moving average of the ISE Sentiment Index, which measures opening long customer transactions to calculate bullish/bearish market direction is the highest it has been this year and although I haven't researched it may be the highest it's ever been. I have followed this sentiment indicator for a few years and generally speaking, a high reading has been predictive of rising equities. So this is giving us a very bullish signal moving into year end.
The only "bump" I see in the road going in the short term is the monthly employment report due to be released on the first Friday in December. With all the worries that the Fed may start tapering after their December meeting, a strong non farm payrolls number may spook the markets and we may see some volatility. And, of course, the actual meeting and it's announcement on December 17th will be closely watched by market participants.
I am still very confident that with the dangerously low inflation rate in this country, regardless of how strong the employment report may be, the Fed will wait until their March meeting to start tapering. There are other reasons the will not move this year that I've addressed in a previous commentary.
In the meantime, enjoy the melt up! Bad news remains good news and good news seems to mean good news also. This is still the bull market everyone loves to hate! And for that reason his bull still has room to run ...
There will be no commentary next week. Happy Thanksgiving!
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

We live in a three-bedroom house. It's not large, but it's just right for the four of us. Thoughtful Husband and I have one bedroom, Tom and Huck share another bedroom, and the third bedroom is called "the playroom". It's a repository for thousands of Lego pieces, various toys, and Tom and Huck's music instruments. The playroom is usually a mess, and other than making the boys straighten it up about once a week, I just close the door on it at the end of the day. As the kids are getting older, we are gradually phasing out the little boy toys and replacing them with music instruments and Legos. Tom takes guitar lessons and Huck takes drum lessons, so perhaps one day they'll have a band! Right now, they practice their instruments in the playroom and they have "band practice" with our triplet neighbors (hence the keyboard). Yes, they're noisy and quite out of tune, but they have so much fun and I'm glad they want to play here, so I try to tune out the cacophony and fantasize about making this room my office and library when the kids move out someday.
Today, a good friend gave us some children's furniture — two corner desks with hutches, two work tables, and two end tables with drawers. He'd been planning to use them for his own kids but a last minute move meant they wouldn't fit properly in the bedroom his kids would use. We thought it would be great to give our kids a space for homework that they can use as they get older and we figured the furniture could also be used to store some toys and school supplies, so we accepted it gratefully.
This evening, Thoughtful Husband, Tom, Huck, and I unpacked and assembled most of the furniture. Here are a few "before" and "during" shots. When we're finished, I'll show you the "after". We've still got a ways to go before there's a place for everything and everything in its place.
The playroom on a normal day. Cluttered and messy.
My creative solution to storing Lego sets. I bought these scrapbook supply holders on sale at Michael's Crafts for less than $20 apiece. Each plastic drawer holds one set of Lego plus its building instruction book. This way, we avoid the Star Wars Legos getting mixed up with the Aqua Raiders Legos or the Mars Mission Legos. It's not the most beautiful set-up, but it looks so much better than 10,000 tiny plastic bricks on the floor.
Thoughtful Husband and Tom assembling one of the work tables.
In case you're thinking I didn't get much book work done today, you're wrong. I spent a few hours at my local library doing bibliographic research on a recent acquisition!
See you in the stacks!

It appears to be that time of year again–when people are reading and recommending stories for various awards and whatnot. I'm terrible at self-promotion, but I thought the least I could do was put together a handy little post with all of my award-eligible stories from 2015. I've added excerpts just because they're fun! So without further ado, here we go…
"Be Not Unequally Yoked" — Shimmer Magazine — January 2015 (Fantasy)
Things used to be pure inside me. Separated. When I was a boy, I was wholly a boy. When I was a horse, I was wholly a horse.
Things used to be simple inside me. I was all one thing or I was all another. And the two only got close when the change was happening.
But things aren't so simple anymore. The lines inside me feel blurry, more and more every day.
"Gold Dress, No Eyes" — Flash Fiction Online — February 2015 (Science Fiction)
All That Glitters
A ball gown of matrimonial grandeur, fashioned after images of long-lost Earth. Swathes of gold taffeta cocoon her as such finery always had, tight enough to suffocate. Ruching rises in silken folds from narrow hips to narrow bust. Gold braid trims the decollete neckline as it rounds her shoulders.
One cream glove rises to her elbow, the other has rumpled down her forearm to pool in eternal ripples at her wrist. Polished tungsten glints, a dark screen is inlaid in her forearm, with spider-webbed cracks — too damaged to warrant removal.
"Molten Heart" — Fantastic Stories of the Imagination — April 2015 (Fantasy)
They didn't want me to look human, so they didn't give me eyes. They thought if they shaped me like a monster — a hulking ton of red Mars clay, mute and blind — that she wouldn't love me.
They were wrong.
"Coming Undone" — Apex Magazine — August 2015 (Science Fiction)
Entry #070-698
I was born incomplete, unfinished.
My right leg ends in a stubby knee. The corresponding arm never developed past the shoulder.
People always think these undeveloped limbs are the error, but it's the full-length, 'healthy' limbs that make me wrong.
I've spent my whole life trying to fix God's mistake.
"Some Men Break" — Daily Science Fiction — September 2015 (Fantasy)
He had a driftwood heart; he had sleepy-ocean eyes.I lifted my bloodied head from the sand and there he was, standing on spindly branching legs. Battered wreckage that had long since been washed thin and worn by the waves. I felt the pound of the surf in my temple, in my throat, in my groin.I coughed up the salty sea and he only stood watching.As my vision blurred out, I began to think he was only flotsam. Only jetsam. Not a man at all.
Thanks for stopping by and happy reading!

From Vivian Bregman, (email@example.com)
To teach a left finish, start by putting a lure of some kind (food, toy, etc) in your left hand. Bring your left hand in a BIG circle from in front of you (by the dog's nose) out to your side and then your back as you step BACK with your left foot, This should bring the dog behind the heel position. Bring your hand up to the heel position as you bring your left foot foward. If needed, take a few steps.
Take several steps to do this --- that is, give the command, move your hand with the treat and as the dog gets up and takes a few steps reward. Ask for only this much for a few times before you go a bit further. Then step by step.
From Darby Lewes, (email@example.com)
With the dog in front position, say "heel" and move your left leg a BIG step backwards, drawing the lead toward your left side. Then, when she's standing next to you facing backwards, bring the leg back up again and she'll follow you into heel position. The whole thing should be one long slow swoop -- rather like a dance step. Gradually shorten the backward step, and then eventually eliminate it.
Courtesy of the non-trendy but still very useful Milo Pearsall and Blanche Saunders.
From Laurale Stern, (email@example.com)
Here's some more ideas for teaching the left finish:
- Find heel games - With the dog anywhere at the end of the lead, but not on a formal sit or heel command, say 'heel' and immediately take a large step backwards to the left, as large as possible, driving your dog behind you. Then, bring him up to your side and tell him 'sit'. Release and reward or give a treat while in the correct heel position. It helps to have a treat in your LEFT hand for the dog to follow while you are going behind with your leg and forward to heel position. Make these fun and do lots of these.
- Formal finish -- After doing the 'find heel' games for a couple weeks, begin the formal finish training. Tell your dog to 'sit and wait'. Step into the front position. With your lead in your left hand as well as a treat, tell your dog to 'heel'. Immediately take a LARGE step backward with your left leg while guiding your dog back with the lead and treat. If he prefers a toy, use his favorite toy for him to follow. Turn him into you and step up with your left leg so that it is even with your right as you tell your dog 'sit'. Give him the treat while in correct heel position and then break him off with a ball toss and play. Try to keep your arms as they will be when in the ring as soon as the dog is in correct heel position so that he learns to see you as you will be in the ring. Keep your shoulders straight, not tilted towards the dog, since this will cause most dogs to sit back or, when you finally straighten up, cause a huge forge on the finish.

Even if you're great at your job, delivering quality work, meeting deadlines, and working well with colleagues—when promotions are discussed, chances are your name never comes up . . . .
No, there's nothing fair about it. But getting passed over is a problem with a solution. Grace Killelea, an expert in women's leadership, sees confidence as the main roadblock holding women back. We've been socialized to wait to be noticed. We're reluctant to speak up, take risks, and project an image that is as capable and strong as the work we produce.
The Confidence Effect shatters this "good girl" conditioning, and provides the practical tools you need to showcase your qualities and skills—without being cocky or annoying. Instead, you'll draw from your core of competence to build a professional brand that attracts attention, resources, and promotions.
Packed with personal stories and lessons learned, key findings from the new science of confidence, and interviews with a diverse group of high-profile women, The Confidence Effect breaks down this elusive quality into a set of concrete, easy-to-practice skills—the Four R's of Success:
1. Relationships: Build a supportive network of managers, peers, mentors, advocates, and others—and help each other achieve personal and career growth.
2. Reputation: Cultivate a reputation as a dependable, trustworthy person with whom others want to work—and repair any dents in your brand.
3. Results: Deliver the stellar results that fuel your confidence—and avoid empty promises and underwhelming outcomes.
4. Resilience: Overcome obstacles, process disappointment, adapt to change—and put learning from challenges at the heart of your leadership.
Confidence is the X Factor in career decisions and job offers. You have the power to change the way others perceive you. The Confidence Effect helps you stand out as both competent and confident, and assume the leadership positions you deserve.
