'Like' the Newport Beach-Costa Mesa Current to see more news, photos and conversation.
By MIKE REICHER / THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER
Costa Mesa residents, churchgoers, officials and others are helping the homeless off the streets.
That's magnanimous by most accounts, but there's a catch: They want to mostly help Costa Mesa residents, and discourage others from coming to town.
To qualify for city homeless services such as planned housing, a chronically homeless individual has to demonstrate they are a "Costa Mesa homeless resident." This is someone who, for the 18 months immediately prior to a given date, had strong ties to the community. These ties include:
•Residency of an immediate family member
•Proof that the individual and/or dependent(s) attend or attended a Costa Mesa K-12 school
•Knowledge by police that an individual has been a member of the homeless community
•Other demonstrable ties to the community, e.g., through qualified service providers
•Previous lease, utility bills or other written confirmation of residency
•Excludes people who live in a motel or recovery home, and those "intentionally homeless"
•Exceptions are made for people who are "medically compromised" or age 60 and older
Laguna Beach
The city opened an overnight shelter in 2009 and provides transportation there. Access is limited to homeless people who can demonstrate residency or long-term ties to Laguna Beach. One or more of these criteria must be met:
•Immediate family member currently a resident
•Proof of attending a K-12 school in town
•Proof of previously living at a residential property in town, including a lease or utility bill
Santa Monica
The city's Chronically Homeless Project connects people to services and housing.
Santa Monica developed a registry that tracks length of time on the streets, age, and both the physical and mental health of participants. It includes a "vulnerability index," and higher rankings are prioritized by the city for services and housing.
The city also helps reunite Santa Monica homeless people with friends or family in their original community.
The first step in their process, a census and survey by Vanguard University, found a stable population between 100 and 120 locals. The homeless hot spots were mainly on the city's Westside, near nonprofits and churches. Now, officials are finalizing their list of residents while stepping up their enforcement measures.
"We want to take care of our own, but we don't want to be an attractant," said City Councilman Steve Mensinger.
Click here to watch a video about a Costa Mesa church helping the homeless.
One of the men they are focusing on is Don, 50, a regular at the Lighthouse Church. Like many homeless, he prefers to use his first name because of the stigma.
On Monday, he met with city social worker Rosemary Nielsen – an impromptu chat about where he could live. A recovering addict with two dogs, Don is hard to place into limited housing.
Nielsen may soon have a new option: Officials are planning to convert an old motel into supportive housing and create an "adoption" program for people like Don – homeless with long-standing ties to the city.
But not everyone believes in the plan. Without other cities taking the same approach, some argue, Costa Mesa will just be pushing people around, to places with fewer resources. Some see the city's social services as the big magnet – if they aren't as selective as the city, why would people stop coming?
The city is finalizing a list of roughly 100-120 chronically homeless people it considers Costa Mesa residents.
If they make the cut, homeless individuals may qualify for city-coordinated services like housing.
If they don't, they have to rely on county, private or other resources.
Either way, people living on the street face heightened law enforcement and other measures designed to make Costa Mesa less inviting to them.
Officials call this a "carrot and stick" approach to ending homelessness in Costa Mesa. Here are some of the city's actions:
•Contracted with a mental health worker to assist police
•Worked with churches to open a storage facility for personal belongings
•Hired a part-time social worker, with plans to hire two more
•Working with faith-based community to "adopt" a homeless family or individual
•Seeking a developer to build supportive housing with mental health, job referral, and medical services
•Working with churches to reunite individuals with families in other cities
•Seeking funding for emergency motel stays, bus and airline tickets
•Police issued 190 citations in Lions Park this year and made 52 arrests, more than doubling last year's numbers
•Hired park rangers that patrol Lions Park and other parks, looking for violations
•Banned smoking in parks
•Banned extra belongings stored on bike racks
•Demolished shade structure in Lions Park
•Drafting a law against leaving unattended belongings in public
•Considering surveillance cameras in Lions Park
•Planning heightened enforcement of anti-camping laws
Can it work?
"It would work if every one of our cities that border Costa Mesa embraced the same approach. Without that, we're just taking homeless people somewhere else to be homeless." -Ed Clarke, Vanguard University sociology professor
"I think the biggest obstacle is to keep them from coming. There are so many services...I don't think they can ever stop the massive influx." -Marisa David, resident of the Vendome Condominiums, adjacent to Lions Park
"A key aspect has to be housing and getting them off the streets. Something beyond providing meals." -David Snow, UC Irvine sociology professor
Is it right to exclude outsiders from some services?
"It's something we had to wrestle with as churches. Our mission is global, but you have to be realistic with how much you can achieve, how many resources you have." -Becks Heyhoe, director of the Costa Mesa Churches Consortium
"Where's the Christianity when they say, 'get out of my city?'" Don, homeless resident
"I was struggling to say, 'we're not going to help these people.' As a human being, it was strange. But we can't do it all, and we know that." -Tom Hatch, city CEO
Why does Costa Mesa have more than a hundred homeless people spend their days and nights here?
"You've got SOS, the Soup Kitchen. You have all the people who come here to help homeless out." –Joanne Livingston, homeless resident
"This may be a friendly environment where people won't get hassled for the day." -Ed Clarke, Vanguard University sociology professor
Outside organizations sometimes send the homeless and those at risk of homelessness here, in part because Costa Mesa has a libertarian tradition "that has led to a little more tolerance and us being a doormat." -Tom Hatch, city CEO
What is behind this push to manage the homeless? A group of angry residents?
"I don't know if it's of great value to simply operate your city based on who cries the loudest. Is the solution to pander to the population?" -Karen McGlinn, executive director of Share Our Selves
"I don't think that's the only reason. If you want to truly end homelessness, I think you have to be realistic about what you can achieve." -Becks Heyhoe, director of the Churches Consortium
"It was an embarrassment as a city that we had a park where we didn't feel safe." -Tom Hatch, city CEO
Isn't this just ignoring a regional homeless problem?
"I don't think Costa Mesa is pushing the problem somewhere else. I think other cities need to step up and be responsible for their residents." -Becks Heyhoe, director of the Churches Consortium
"You can't define what you do because someone might not step out...I think every city needs to do its fair share." Tom Hatch, city CEO
"You have to have a regional approach to this. There is no moat." -Karen McGlinn, executive director of Share Our Selves

I've been using Emolga over wifi, and I keep seeing zapdos and thunderus, and its making me mad. I've been fast enough to set up light screen then volt switch to musharna, but thats just babbling, even with a good nature, is he really worth keeping?
Since you're using Emolga on Wifi, I'll put my full critique into it since I don't have to consider in-game aspects.
Emolga has a terrible time trying to compete with the other Electric/Flying types, both of which are legendary. Emolga, when compared to them, just can't compete.
Even as a Pokemon in general, it's just a terrible choice. I've seen many Pokemon with low stats still be used on Wifi because of their niche (Mawile and Weezing, for example). Emolga has low stats but that's not what makes it bad: it's stats re so horribly placed that it can't do anything!
This thing has nothing to set up with that Speed, its typing is pretty good, but most Pokemon online who learn Earthquake also learn Stone Edge. It has 75 attacking stats, 55/60/60 bulk, which is a joke, and Speed that still lets it get outrun by many threats.
Its movepool is pretty fair, intertwining two useful movepool aspects that come from Electric AND Flying-types. The problem is that, with its stats, it can't put any of it to use. Even with that Speed, it could be used to set up stuff in NU. Too bad it can only set up Light Screen, though.
So yeah, in short: Emolga is far from worth using. In fact, I'd recommend to never use it. Ever.
Dude try to understand this. EMOLGA IS WASTE. It has MUCH LOWER than acceptable stats and I really recommend not using it . Rather get EELEKTROSS because it has NO disadvantage the ground is covered with levitate .
Well Emolga can be a good help later, because in the Elite Four, you have to battle a guy who only has fighting type pokemon. Flying type is fighting type's weakness. Emolga is not only a flying type, but an electric type too.

How to fit a Samtid floor lamp in a corner
Materials: Samtid floor lamp
Description: Not much to describe actually, since there's not much of a hack, but still - you can see everything on the photos - in order to put the lamp in the corner get rid of the footing, drill several holes, and attach the stand to the wall with perforated interconnect tape.

Watch your cable on the bottom of pipe. It's potentially dangerous when pipe will pile the cable. Anyway, nice hack. :)
ReplyDelete If you intend to leave the lamp in that corner for any length of time I'd consider re-making that cable to the required length, much better than having the unused cable coiled up. In addition, consider cutting a notch in the bracket under the end of the lamp for the cable to exit - as mentioned above the pipe could slowly cut through the cable.
Otherwise, very nice, I'll take a look at the couple of NOT uplighters I'm currently using, see if I can adapt this hack.- AnonymousOctober 30, 2010 9:50 PM
Wow, nice and simple minimalism. We also have a tylosand couch in a corner, and have tried several arrangements in an attempt to bring sufficient reading light to that space. Gotta love Ikeahacker for suggesting enviable and attainable solutions!

We're proud to be able to help families through one of the hardest times anyone can go through."

Each month, the firm donates to five Dallas-area nonprofit organizations in an effort to improve the quality of life for people living in the Dallas metroplex.

Very Stylish - Love It!
By ANDREA
from NEW GLASGOW
I have loved this sweater/coat since I first saw it, and finally broke down and ordered it. So glad I did! It is beautifully made, and looks great both with and without the collar. The narrow belt could be a bit more flexible and softer, but once it's on - it looks just right with this coat. Love it so much, I bought my daughter one in black! Would love to see a spring/summer collection from "G", but if not, hope she's back with a new collection this fall!

I purchased french roast -- which is a paler colour than it appears on the website. I agree that the faux fur colour does not sit right - but I intend to wear the sweater without it, so I am okay with that.
By XingBe
from Calgary, AB.
I love my Cardigan, it is so versitile and comfortable. I like the fact that is can be worn with, or without the collar.It is a lovely addition to my wardrobe and of very good quality. I thank Giuliana for introducing this luxurious cardigan to TSC and so happy I was able to own one.
Good Move!
By BevyB
from Winnipeg, Manitoba
I bought this to wear under my winter coat.I work evening shift so need something warm for the trip home. This does the trick. Nice fit, sleeves generous but roll up once and they are fine. Collar has hook and eye of furrier quality. Not crazy about the snaps on the knitband. They are a bit too heavy, hard to undo, too.Overall, this was a good move!
Knit coat
By GRCambrin
from Banff/Cochrane ,AB
Very comfortable and useful for day or evening. Have had many compliments.Suggestion! Would be to put a belt loop on back of coat to hold belt on garment. Almost lost the belt while out for lunch the other afternoon.
Love, love, love this !

When I opened the box I was stunnned by the luxuriousness of the fur colar and the rich colour. It fits perfectly and is soft, soft, soft. I love the pockets - lay flat when you have it on! The fit is perect and makes you look slim - I would recommend this to everyone!

Nice looking, fits well
By KATHY
from CALGARY
I ordered this sweater in the dark brown, I like the color and the faux fur is very realistic looking. My only concern is the collar will not lay flat and I am not sure what the remedy would be. I will probably wear it more often with out the faux fur collar, need to work on it a bit more.

Cardigan /w Faux Fur Collar by G
By McCafe lover!!!
from Moncton,New Brunswick
Purchased sweater in Black. Collar is nice,but quality of sweater could be better! Faux Fur collar does not stay in place when you have the sweater on. Snaps take away from the sweater;cannot wear sweater open as a result. Belt is cheap looking. Sorry G I was hoping for so much more from your line!!! I am a fan of your Show, G & B!!!

For this price the sweater didn't match the quality of the faux fur, which was excellent. I fear this sweater could pill. Also, it was just too much collar and two much going on with the hooks, buttons, etc. Besides, if the collar doesn't sit right the buttons show. Finally, the belt was cheap looking and would have been better left off or the use of your own belt would be better than that one. All in all, it was an impluse purchase, and I shouldn't have ordered it.

Love It
By glassiegirl
from Mississauga, Ontario
Received the sweater yesterday and I ordered the chocolate brown in small. It fit perfectly. Was amazed at the quality of knit and was a little worried about the fur collar but Guiliana was correct, it does look and feel like real fur. The fit was exactly what was stated on the size chart. I will not hesitate to order any of her other products. Pure luxury for the money!

Hardy Amies, perhaps the first men's clothing designer and the man who had more influence on my dress than any other, wrote that a man should select his clothes with care so he can forget about them for the rest of the day.
Choosing the day's clothes starts with the suit rotation. Suits are not meant to be worn on consecutive days, and one way to ensure that is to rotate them in the closet. I hang recently worn clothing on the right of one closet bar, and take clothes that I'm going to wear from the left side. Moving them along the bar isn't much of a job - I have quite a few suits but there are no more than a dozen in my active city rotation at any particular time.
I start my selection by considering the formality of the day I expect to have. If it's got at least one serious event, I'll choose the first serious suit at the left hand side of the bar. Or, if it promises to be less formal, I'll pull a Friday suit that's less somber.

New to paintball and the area LF for a feild
Posted 05 October 2008 - 09:19 AM
There are a good bit of fields in georgia. Unfortanetly for you, most are scenario/ woodsball. There is a field called wildfire near your area. Its all indoors and it has like 4 airball fields. The rest is spools and other junkyard fields. That would be the best bet for where you will be in columbus.
Everyone Knows, the bad ideas always tell the best stories.

Macon Co. vs. Goodpasture
Last Friday, the Macon County Tigers did battle against the Goodpasture Cougars. The Tigers didn't bring it on offense or defense and were defeated 77-57. A slow first half doomed the Tigers.
The first quarter was Goodpasture's best quarter. The Cougars came out on fire, scoring twenty-three points. The Tigers did score fourteen points in the first quarter. The score after one quarter was 23-14. The second quarter was when the Tigers fell and couldn't come back. The Tigers scored only six points in the second quarter. Goodpasture, however, scored eighteen points in the second quarter. The score at halftime was 41-20 Goodpasture.
The Tigers played considerably better in the second half. However, they couldn't overpower Goodpasture. Goodpasture scored twenty points in the third quarter, while Macon County scored nineteen. In the fourth, Macon County outscored Goodpasture 18-16. However, the Tigers lost this game 77-57.

Dalton Shrum had 14 points, while Tyler Clark had eight. Dillion McCormick and Justin Tucker had four points each, while Peyton Clark had three points.
Macon Co. vs. White House
The Tigers looked to rebound on Saturday against White House. The Tigers came out hungry for a victory after being beaten by Goodpasture. White House played a tough game, but Macon County would slip by White House late in the game to win 66-64. A strong fourth quarter propelled the Tigers to a close victory.
The first quarter showed that both teams came to play. Both teams scored eighteen points in the first quarter. The second quarter was extremely close as well. White House would score fifteen points in the second quarter, while Macon County scored thirteen. The score at halftime was 33-31.
The second half was Macon County's half. They did, however, start off slow. Macon County only scored thirteen points in the third quarter. White House, however, scored seventeen points. The score after three quarters was 50-44. The fourth quarter, however, was all Macon County. The Tigers put up an incredible twenty-two points in the fourth quarter. White House only scored fourteen points. White House attempted to march down the court and score as time was winding down, but the Tigers played lockdown defense and went on to win 66-64!
Macon County only had four three-pointers in this game. White House had six. Dalton Shrum led the Tigers in scoring with 26 points. Tyler Clark and Trey McPherson had 11 points each. Daniel Gregory and Peyton Clark both had three points, while Dillion McCormick came off the bench with 8.
The Tigers' next two games will be at home on Tuesday, January 29 against Greenbrier and at Sycamore on Friday, February 1. Come out and support your Macon County Tigers.

Some Gallia County residents, however, are not quite ready for the man in red. This is evidenced by the many fall decorations peppered all over Gallia County that adorn homes and farms. The friendly, autumn scarecrow can be found along Third Ave. in the city of Gallipolis while the beautifully creative round bale turkey stands along Ohio 775.

The state's community colleges don't have the worldwide fame or prestige of the California State University and University of California systems. But they do the heavy lifting of public higher education.
Without them, many Californians would not have the practical training to secure and perform their jobs, and many others would never had access to a four-year degree. California's community colleges provide economically efficient alternative for freshman and sophomore general-education courses. And, in years past, many people have had the opportunity to take enrichment and refresher courses - Spanish conversation before a trip to Madrid, art history to understand those Old Masters at the Norton Simon.
The enormous budget squeeze in recent years meant something had to give, and one of them is unfortunately the roster of enrichment courses. In a better economy, the colleges may have the resources to add back these types of classes. Right now they are luxury we can't afford; the priority must remain with younger students seeking the most affordable start to their higher education.
Since budget problems began with the
That's why Brown's current push to prioritize enrollment for full-time students who are successful in their studies makes sense. The governor wants to limit the wholesale re-taking of classes, often done by students to get a better grade, and he wants to cap the state subsidization of tuition after a student has taken 90 units, as an incentive to move on. Students now pay $46 a unit for an education that costs about $190 per unit. Brown's proposal is a reasonable alternative to simply raising tuition altogether.
Where Brown's suggested changes falter is in the proposal to forward state funding to individual campuses only after students have completed courses rather than, as currently, paying for students enrolled a month into the term. There would be too much incentive for colleges to offer easier courses and for students to take the less-demanding ones, dumbing down the system.
Under changes previously approved by the Legislature, students already have to maintain good grades to get fee waivers and enrollment priorities.
But Brown's reformist impulses are welcome. Efficiency at our community colleges means they will continue to play the crucial entry-level role they were designed for.

Stocks Slide, VIX Ends At Highest Weekly Close In 2013
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/14/2013 - 16:11
Equities closed red for the third week of the last four with today's selloff reducing about half of yesterday's gains. The 5.25% high-to-low drop (in the S&P 500) was bid on low volume yesterday but heavier volume today was to the downside. While stocks were sold, Treasuries were bid and had their best week in over two months (as some level fo safe-haven Syria bid was evident - as well as de-Tapering chatter). What was interesting is that the USD - typically bid when war tensions rise - is weaker - its worst 3-week run since October 2010. JPY strength (+3.25%) was the main driver of USD weakness. Precious metals were bid instead as Oil and silver coincided up around 2% on the week. Financials were the worst sector on the week as, thanks to yesterday's ridiculousness, homebuilders went from zero to hero and ended the week +1%. VIX rose 0.5 vols on the week with its highest close of the year.

Time For Abe To Start Worrying About His Approval Rating?
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/14/2013 - 15:26Has Abenomics failed? Impossible, Abe's fans will say: he has barely had a chance to explore his policies. That maybe true, but one major problem with Japanese society is that it is very impatient when it comes to its politicians. In fact, the median tenure in office of each of its last 10 prime ministers is precisely 419 days, or just over 1 year. And Abe is already six months into his term (his second term, of course: let's not forget he quit his first stint as PM after exactly 365 days due to diarrhea). What is worse is that the key variable that has kept his approval rating high has been the stock market: worse, because the stock market is now in freefall, and with few favorable things Abe can point to in the economy (recall that his entire policy is based on a stock-market driven wealth effect - no Nikkei ramp, no wealth effect, no inflation), he suddenly finds himself in a support vacuum.

Guest Post: The Endgame Of State/Local Government Pensions
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/14/2013 - 15:01There is no way the pensions and benefits promised in an era of financialized abundance can be paid once the wheels of financialization fall off. During the past 30 years of financialized abundance, the benefits and pensions promised to public employees were increased substantially. Public unions are a powerful political force in many states, and in eras of rising tax revenues, it's an easy political decision to increase public employee benefits and pension payouts. The rising stock and bond markets generated huge profits for the public-employee pension funds, enabling them to grow without taxpayer contributions. Alas, the 8+% annual growth rate of the boom era is now structurally unrealistic. The New Normal is bond yields of 2% or 3% at best, and equities markets that are increasingly at risk of significant sell-offs. The endgame of promises made in an era of illusory, financialized abundance will be hurried along by a collapse in the equities and bond markets.

PIMCO's Bill Gross "Which Way For Bonds?"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/14/2013 - 14:36"While we are not likely to see a repeat of that type of [30Y bond] bull market any time soon, we also do not believe we are at the beginning of a bear market for bonds."
"We are concerned by the growing downside of zero-based money and QE policies – among them a worrisome distortion in asset pricing, the misallocation of capital and ultimately a dis-incentivizing of risk taking by corporations and investors."
"We believe caution is warranted not just for fixed income investors, but for investors in all risk assets; avoiding long durations, reducing credit risk away from economically vulnerable companies and sectors"

Spain's Debt Surges To Record High At Accelerating Pace
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/14/2013 - 14:13Somewhere deep down inside the European Union's leaders must know how foolish they are with their constant proclamations that the worst of the crisis is over and that growth will return any moment now. For now, the realists in the market have to be content with hard data, and as AP reports, Spain's central bank reports the troubled nation's debt jumped to a record 88.2% of GDP in Q1 2013. The year-over-year rise is also the fastest on record - so no green shoot there as the bank notes it expects the debt burden to rise to 90.5% of GDP by the end of 2013 (but may revise that forecast - up). The raw numbers are awesome. Spain's debt was EUR 922.8 billion at the end of March - up 19.1% from a year earlier and with unemployment at 27.2% and a fourth year of recession, the more-than-doubling of debt-to-GDP in the last five years suggests the 'OMT call' may be getting closer. The stagflationary slump in Europe (inflation rising faster than expected as growth lags) continues with nearly 20 million people out of work across the region.

How A Congress-Sanctioned Tax Credit Rescued Q1 Earnings
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/14/2013 - 13:17A 25-year-old research-and-development tax credit that was extended by Congress - following its expiration at the end of 2011 - lifted profits for many firms in the S&P 500 by over 10%. While top-line revenue growth was a damp squib, earnings grew a more robust 6.7% thanks, as the WSJ notes, in large part to this tax-credit's 'accounting' gains. This stock-market-saving tax-gimmick, however, is only for "big corporate America," since, "small firms aren't profitable enough to get the credit." Looking ahead, however, the unusual benefit from extension of the tax credit won't help corporate profits for the rest of this year as it is set to expire at the end of this year (having cost the taxpayer over $7 billion).

Detroit To Default Today, "Shared-Sacrifice" To Follow
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/14/2013 - 11:58And so the next casualty of the inevitable municipal collapse appears, which is, as expected, that one-time symbol of all that was right with a (once upon a time) manufacturing America, having since been replaced with the anti-symbol of all that is broken: Detroit. DETROIT BEGINS MORATORIUM ON ALL DEBT SERVICE PAYMENTS FOR UNSECURED FUNDED DEBT; DETROIT TO DEFAULT ON CERTIFICATES OF PARTICIPATION DUE TODAY. And, true to from in the New Normal America, where the "fairness doctrine" rules supreme under Big Brother's watchful eye, the premise of the upcoming glorious recovery is a well-known one: "the shared-sacrifice." To wit: "The City currently faces approximately $17 billion in total liabilities. Detroit is insolvent and cannot meet its financial obligations without a significant restructuring. Mr. Orr's plan provides for shared sacrifice among all creditor groups – from Wall Street and Main Street consistent with their legal rights – in order to return Detroit to a sustainable financial foundation and to permit much-needed reinvestment in the City." The punchline: "Detroit's road to recovery begins today"... By defaulting.

European Stocks Drop Fourth Week-In-A-Row; Worst In 12 Months
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/14/2013 - 11:47For the first time since April 2012, the broad European equity markets have dropped for 4 weeks in a row. The drop of almost 6% is the largest since June 2012 and brings European stocks to almost unchanged on the year. But while stocks have been battered this week (even with yesterday's bounce), sovereign bonds are relatively calm still.

Guest Post: How Does It End?
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/14/2013 - 11:32The days of reasonable economic forecasting are over. Today, an economic forecast is more like the analysis of a criminal mind than the evaluation of economic data. The dominating role of government overpowers markets intentionally. In the short-term that will continue. Reactions to Federal Reserve minutes referencing continuation, alteration or cessation of quantitative easing cause stock markets to move by over 100 points. Other markets are affected by government interventions, just not so noticeably. Long term, markets will overpower government. Welfare states can no longer maintain their level of spending, services and welfare. However, they dare not stop lest civil unrest and violence break out. The bind they are in has no solution. Governments around the world are doing whatever is necessary to survive. Lying, stealing and outright confiscation will begin in order to support their bankruptcies. Cyprus was a minor precursor of what is coming.

Bob Janjuah: Markets Are "Tepper'd Out So Don't Get Sucked In"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/14/2013 - 10:51There can be no doubt that the global growth, earnings, incomes and fundamental story remains very subdued. But at the same time financial markets, hooked on central bank 'heroin', have created an enormous and – in the long run – untenable gap between themselves and the real economy's fundamentals. This gap is getting to dangerous levels, with positioning, sentiment, speculation, margin and leverage running at levels unseen since 2006/2007. 'Tapering' is going to happen. It will be gentle, it will be well telegraphed, and the key will be to avoid a major shock to the real economy. But the Fed is NOT going to taper because the economy is too strong or because we have sustained core (wage) inflation, or because we have full employment - none of these conditions will be seen for some years to come. Rather, we feel that the Fed is going to taper because it is getting very fearful that it is creating a number of significant and dangerous leverage driven speculative bubbles that could threaten the financial stability of the US. In central bank speak, the Fed has likely come to the point where it feels the costs now outweigh the benefits of more policy.

It's a Wrap Shawl!
I've followed the "It's a Wrap" pattern, just making less rows and fringe.
I adore it, it's so cozy and warm.
Here you can see the stitches pattern:
I can say it was very easy to make, but it takes some time, especially for the last rows which seems to have no end!
Anyway, a great easy pattern and a great shawl!
Have fun!

ScottBarger wrote:This line of argumentation is sub par for you. Just because people claim Christianity, does not mean they represent Christianity. Nor does it mean that their actions negate the mission of Christianity. IMO, this would be the case even if %99 of people who claim Christianity behaved as poorly as the examples you cited above.
Alright, now I am really confused. I cited real-world examples of Christianity. But in the quote highlighted above, you have apparently discounted all real-world manifestations of Christianity in one fell swoop ... except for that 1% you know to be genuine, whatever that means.
Does the existence of the Christian religion in this life count for anything? Are you defining Christianity entirely out of reality and into some Platonic essence? (This is, after all, the basis for the Catholic belief in transubstantiation.) Does Christian-ness exist on a different plane in the same way that the Greeks believed chair-ness and rug-ness were said to exist? Just because what I'm sitting in looks & operates like a Windsor chair, is it really not because its essence is devoid of chairness? Even though Pat Robertson claims to be motivated by his Christian faith, you can somehow personally discern that he lacks that Christian essence?
My post pointed to real examples of Christianity at work: Folks defining their mission and motivation by their faith in the Jesus. And yet you dismiss them as not Christian, for some reason that I simply cannot yet fathom. Do you guys honestly think that these folks were NOT acting based on their Christian faith?
And if instead they ARE motivated by their Christian faith, are not their acts just as much (if not more) a reflection of Christianity as Habitat for Humanity?

Common Law: Ride-Along
Wes and Travis get a surprise when they learn that Dr. Ryan will be riding along with them for a full day. It's news that annoys Wes, who sees the interference as counter productive. Travis, on the other hand, sees the ride along as an opportunity to learn a little more about Dr. Ryan – mainly, if she's single.
Meanwhile, Travis and Wes investigate a suicide at a local hotel, but the seemingly open and shut case is complicated by the discovery of two hundred thousand dollars and a bloody earring at the scene. However, the real surprise comes when the detectives notify the husband of the deceased: it seems the victim, one Justine Winfield, is actually alive and well.
Digging deeper, Travis and Wes soon uncover a tangled web involving identity theft, failing marriages, and an accountant who isn't as adept at hiding his indiscretions as he thinks he is. The detectives soon learn that the answer was right in front of them the whole time, but that may not be enough to save Justine Winfield from becoming a victim for a second time in this complicated case. -

Xcyz's Hatsune Miku and Nakano Azusa Nendoroid Rocketdock Icons

Livingstone Gold is a distinctive, full flavored cheese from North Otago, produced in a traditional open vat. A natural additive, annatto, is added to provide its golden color. This color was chosen to relate back to North Otago's historic Livingstone gold fields.
