FxPro Daily Forex Brief - A light in a very dark tunnel
Friday, 13 January 2012 | 09:44
It is just possible that the worm is slowly turning for the single currency. After a possible double bottom on Wednesday at 1.2660, the single currency has climbed ever so gradually. Those extraordinary difficulties that many European banks had obtaining dollar funding late last year have eased to some degree, with the 3mth cross currency EUR/USD basis swap now down to -85bp from near -160bp late in November. Traders are carrying record short positions in the single currency, while money managers, sovereign wealth funds and retail investors have been avoiding the euro and/or reducing exposure to it for monthsAs such, there is huge potential for a short-covering rally on merely a whiff of good news. EUR/CHF is inching towards the 1.20 level which the SNB has vowed to vigorously defend. Both Italian and Spanish bond yields have fallen very sharply over the last few weeks, and yesterday's auctions went well. The fiscal compact appears to have more teeth than many suspected when it was first announced last month. Both the UK and Switzerland might just be heading back into recession, which makes investors more reluctant to park money there; in recent days, EUR/GBP has started to head higher. Perhaps the euro will defy the doomsters and reach 1.30 before too long.
Draghi deserves some praise. ECB President Mario Draghi continues to gain some deserved praise from both the forex and bond markets for his bold initiative to conduct an unlimited 3yr LTRO. With some justification, Draghi claims that it has helped to unclog some of the financial plumbing that was threatening to wreak Armageddon on many European banks which otherwise were being denied access to liquidity by the rest of the planet. However, his assertion that funds borrowed from the ECB are not being re-deposited is contrary to the evidence which suggests that the bulk of it is, for now at least, residing back at the ECB. Also providing the euro with a minor boost was his suggestion that there were tentative signs of recovery, although the backdrop is still highly uncertain. Separately, Draghi again applauded the progress being made in both Italy and Spain regarding fiscal austerity and structural reform, stating that markets were already buoyed by the steps taken. The ECB President also expressed encouragement on the question of the fiscal compact; he hopes that it will be signed by the end of the month. Draghi is clearly a different proposition to Trichet. His approach is refreshing, thorough, and brave. Given Europe's economic sclerosis, he needs to be.
More Fed QE still on the table. Notwithstanding recent signs that the US economy is actually fairly robust, it is clear that a number of Fed officials want to keep the option of implementing further QE firmly on the table. The Fed's über-dove, Chicago Fed President Charles Evans, is not convinced the economy is in the clear, claiming that the recent improvement is only modest and that 'substantial' accommodation is still required. Some other senior Fed officials, such as New York Fed President McDonough and Boston Fed President Rosengren, are similarly disposed towards further consideration of quantitative easing. In contrast, über-hawk Charles Plosser continues to sound off on the risk of higher inflation, while Richmond Fed President Lacker is more worried that the Fed's QE program compromises their independence. Of interest, Plosser does not get to vote on Fed policy this year, while two Fed Presidents who do get to vote in 2012, Sandra Pianalto and Dennis Lockhart, both seem inclined to support more asset purchases. It could be contended that dollar investors are far too sanguine that QE3 will not be needed and/or implemented.
Problems for the pound. Many of the UK's major retailers have been providing updates on Christmas sales over the last few days and, for the most part, it confirms what most already suspected, namely that the British consumer remains extremely hesitant. Tesco suffered a 2.3% decline in UK like-for-like sales in the six weeks ended January 7th, much worse than expected – the share price of Tesco fell by more than 13% at one stage yesterday. Last week, Visa reported that UK retail sales fell by 1% in the month, a very poor outcome for the most critical month of the year for retailers. Separately, industrial production fell by another 0.6% in November, after a 1% decline in the previous month. Even if production jumped by 1% in December, for Q4 as a whole production would still be 1% lower than Q3, which on its own could chop up to 0.2 percentage points from GDP. Because of the incredibly mild weather, utilities' output fell sharply in November (by more than 2%), an outcome likely repeated last month as the weather was again remarkably warm. The (unsurprising) revelation that festive season sales were very soft is not doing the pound any favours. Cable fell below 1.53 for a time yesterday whereas a week ago it was threatening 1.57. The pound is also underperforming the euro – EUR/GBP is now well above 0.83. With the Chancellor admitting to MPs that an extra GBP 10bln may need to be provided to the IMF despite the UK's desperate fiscal plight, it is little wonder that the currency is under pressure.
Chinese inflation to fall further. The decline in Chinese inflation last month (from 4.2% YoY to 4.1%) may have been modest but it represents the fifth consecutive month that prices growth has slowed. Furthermore, we can be fairly confident that there is more to come, based on the base effects from last year's sharp increase, the recent softening of food prices and the easing of domestic conditions. Food prices are still running at 9.1% YoY, but this is down sharply from the large double-digit gains seen in the middle of last year. Also of interest overnight was a further weakening in auto sales' growth, up 4.6% YoY in December. Part of the explanation for weaker demand is due to the ending of subsidies but nevertheless it reaffirms that there is some moderation in consumer and business spending. Hopes for some further policy action, either on interest rates or bank reserve requirements, remain very much alive. However, at the same time any relaxation is likely to be gradual. The slowdown in lending, especially to the property sector, was a key objective of policy last year and thus far the measures taken have proved successful. The yuan remains modestly weaker so far this year, although it's notable that the disparity between on-shore and off-shore rates (as wide as 2% towards the end of last year) has narrowed in the past few sessions.

SCOTTSDALE, AZ -- (Marketwire) -- 01/30/13 -- Sage North America today announced F.A. Davis Company, an independent nursing, medicine and health sciences publisher, is using Sage SalesLogix on Samsung® Series 7 Slate PC tablets to support field sales operations. The CRM implementation is helping the F.A. Davis staff eliminate 250 hours of weekly data entry and has reduced the organization's reliance on laptops while increasing sales. F.A. Davis recently received the Sage SalesLogix Inno Award for its approach to mobilizing CRM.
"We have 25 sales managers and representatives who visit college, university and health institution instructors throughout the U.S. promoting selection of our textbooks and resources for their classes," explains George Ricciardi, F.A. Davis director of MIS. "We wanted to further leverage our CRM system and improve time spent with customers. Extending Sage SalesLogix to Samsung tablets delivered."
F.A. Davis reps previously carried laptops, which often required them to enter call notes and product sample requests into the CRM system at night for synchronization with a shared database.
The F.A. Davis MIS team and its Sage SalesLogix business partner, Infinity Info Systems, replaced laptops with PC-based Samsung tablets to help reps better access and enter data into Sage SalesLogix right as they meet with customers and eliminate the cumbersome routine of unpacking and booting up laptops for product demonstrations.
MIS piloted Sage SalesLogix on Samsung tablets with a selection of F.A. Davis sales reps for one month. Reps found they could more easily review accounts before and during meetings with instructors, and complete more actions like entering sample textbook requests while visiting customers. Multiscreening was also possible using monitors that were issued, so reps could work in Sage SalesLogix and another application like email at the same time in office settings.
Mobile CRM facilitates sales, naturally
Reps now accomplish the majority of sales tasks in real time while meeting with customers. Face time with customers has increased and product information pertinent to each customer, such as what books schools previously purchased, is readily at hand through the tablet CRM format.
F.A. Davis and Infinity Info Systems integrated Sage SalesLogix with the company's Oracle-based ERP system to handle all sample and product fulfillment, including UPS® shipment tracking, which is also accessible in Sage SalesLogix on the Samsung tablets.
Two lengthy account status reports are no longer needed with Sage SalesLogix operating on tablets, and each rep saves about two hours nightly by no longer needing to enter a day's worth of call notes. Reps can also easily show digital versions of textbooks to customers on the tablets and demonstrate resources like DavisPlus, an online library of teaching tools that correspond with specific textbooks. DavisPlus customer passwords can now be activated right within Sage SalesLogix on the tablets.
"Using Sage SalesLogix on Samsung tablets has certainly expanded how CRM benefits our organization," says Ricciardi. "Our sales team is no longer bound to heavy laptops or static reports, is conducting more natural and productive sales visits with customers, and is profiting from sales insights that more precise data management provides."
F.A. Davis next plans to customize a Sage SalesLogix tablet module that identifies which textbooks and supplementary learning materials are ideal for instructors based on their agendas and historical data, as well as transition from an on-premises to web version of Sage SalesLogix.

First of all, it is not possible to follow the logic of higher importance when considering health and well-being. Both food and water are equally important as fundamental building blocks of health. Without proper food and water intake, people cannot rely on medical treatments and obtain their full advantage.
However, water is obviously more important than food because we can live without it less than a week while we can live up to three months without food. If you want to make positive changes to your health, improve your water quality and diet for maximum benefits. But if you do not have time or energy to work on both aspects at once, always choose improving your water quality and restraining from other drinks (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) over diet changes.
Even with the best diet, you cannot use its complete potential without quality water intake because some facts indicate that water accounts for more health than food.
Water Builds More Tissues than Food
A common traditional concept about diet is that protein intake is essential for building tissues. Proteins are the main building blocks for our muscles, they say. However, this is the situation – the body cannot use animal proteins to build human tissue. It has to break it down into less complicated components and synthesize new proteins suitable for human tissue.
There are two downsides to that concept. One, the body loses more energy to break down the proteins first and convert them back. Two, proteins build mainly muscle tissue, and the muscles compose only 40% of our constitution. In reality, individuals usually neglect water in daily life, and that is a big mistake because water builds the following:
- 75% of the brain
- 83% of the blood
- 22% of the bones
- 75% of the muscles
If you neglect water intake and focus on your diet, you will obviously develop only 25% of the muscles, 25% of the brain, and 17% of the blood. Sure, water does not build a lot of bones, but it builds approximately 75% of your total body mass, and that is why quality water gives you more health benefits than a proper diet without proper water intake.
Water Protects the Joints and Vital Organs
In modern strength training, vital organs are the most neglected aspect of health and energy. Ripped muscles are not a sign of good health if internal organs are misplaced, damaged, or exhausted. Water builds and strengthens most of the fascia around organs that acts as a cushion to protect them.
Although water builds only 22% of the bones, it allows joints to function better. It lubricates the joints and prevents any sedimentation that will damage joint health and range of motion. Keep in mind that scientific research indicates that fluoride in drinking water actually inhibits calcium absorption, so you will need clean water to make your joints and bones healthier.
Water Increases Nutrient Absorption and Cleans Toxins
With proper water intake, the body requires less nutrient intake because it maximizes absorption. Less is more only when you drink quality water and avoid artificial beverages. And when you avoid junk food without any nutrients, of course.
Even when you eat junk, water will help you clean toxins and other pollutants from the body. Pollutants account for an acid pH environment in the body which is the cause of 90% disease manifestations. When you clean them out, the immune system becomes stronger and gains an environment to its advantage.
Water Regulates Breathing and Temperature
Water is an essential factor for thermoregulation. When you sweat, you won't overheat during physical activity, or at least your endurance will increase. But if you don't have anything to sweat out, your body will overheat fast, and you will become exhausted quickly.
Breathing is more important than water, but water increases breathing potential. It moistens the oxygen and helps the lungs perform better.
Water is clearly more important than food. Though they are equally important in reality, it appears that better progress can be made if you improve the quality of your fluid intake than your diet habits. If you cannot work on both at the same time, work on your fluid intake first. Drink pure and clean water while avoiding junk drinks, and 75% of you will feel better after some time.
Many falsely assume that methods do not work if they do not bring immediate progress or create opposite reactions. I have already stated that water cleans pollutants from the body. When that happens, the pollutants have to re-enter the blood, so they can leave the system. Water cannot vaporize them immediately. They have to leave, and that takes time.
During that period, it is possible to feel nausea, fatigue, and sleep 12 hours per day. Once, the toxins are out after years of chronic poisoning, think twice before you come back to unhealthy habits and suppress the toxins back to your tissue. Remember, water does not create them; it just brings what you already contain to your attention.

HAVERHILL — Affordable rents and available office space in a downtown that is looking to transform itself attracted the kind of business no one expected: A massage parlor where the extras included sexual favors, police said.
Shortly after 2 p.m. yesterday, police raided a second-floor suite in the Franklin Block at 200 Merrimack St., and arrested Daniela Moore, 29, of 34 Broadway Plaza, Malden, and Malissa Machado, 29, of 52 Aborn St., Peabody. Police charged both with operating a house of prostitution. Machado also was charged with providing sexual conduct for a fee.
Police said the women opened their Star Touch Massage business four months ago because of the "cheap rent and nice buildings" downtown. Police said the women advertised on Boston's Craigslist offering half-hour professional massages for $60 and full-hour massages for $80. Police said once inside the parlor a customer could pay for sexual favors as well as massages.
"New location - Plenty of Parking," the ad on Craigslist read, and "Satisfy all of your senses with a sensual massage!"
Police Deputy Chief Donald Thompson said several phone calls from members of the public alerted police to what was really going on and led to a five-week investigation by the department's narcotics/vice squad. The investigation culminated in yesterday's prostitution sting. The two women were scheduled to be arraigned in Haverhill District Court today.
Police spokesman Sgt. John Arahovites said officers posed as customers of Star Touch Massage during the investigation.
"We're putting them out of business and hopefully the landlord will evict them," Arahovites said.
The city's Board of Health charges $50 for a massage therapist license and $100 to operate a massage business.
Suite 201-C of the building where Star Touch Massage operated is owned by NW Merrimack Realty Trust, according to police.
The four-story brick building, next to busy Washington Square, contains 20 office condos owned by nine different individuals or businesses, according to city assessor records. Several marketing, counseling, real estate, investment and other businesses are in the four-story building — known as the Franklin Block. As for a house of prostitution operating right in the middle of downtown, Thompson said, "This is the first one that I'm aware of."
Police have said they are committed to ridding the city of as many as 20 prostitutes who are working the streets, most north of downtown, and that they conduct prostitution stings periodically.
From hundreds of new apartments and condominiums in old shoe factories to an influx of restaurants and other businesses, Haverhill's downtown is experiencing a rebirth.
Alan Boisvert, owner of the award-winning Keon's at 105 Washington St., said he does not think yesterday's raid will tarnish efforts by store and property owners, as well as organizations, who are working together to maintain attractive storefronts and keep downtown clean.
"Something like this sneaks in, but it was taken care of immediately," Boisvert said. "The police did a good job and they deserve credit for not allowing it to go on for long."
He said yesterday's arrests should deter future businesses of this kind from coming to Haverhill.
License Commission Chairman Joseph Edwards said his commission oversees establishments selling food and liquor, including function halls, clubs, package stores, restaurants as well as motor vehicle dealers, but not massage parlors. Still, Edwards was disturbed to learn a house of prostitution had been operating in the heart of Haverhill.
"This type of business definitely does not belong downtown, or anywhere else in the city," Edwards said. "The mayor and City Council have worked very hard to create a real nice business and restaurant atmosphere downtown, and we definitely do not welcome a massage parlor."
"You wonder how anyone can be so brazen to do something like this," Edwards said. "It's bizarre."
City Clerk Margaret Toomey said anyone who conducts a business under a title other than the real name of the person must file a business certificate, unless incorporated at the state level. She said there was no record of Star Touch Massage having filed with her office.

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Architecture of the Language Faculty (Linguistic Inquiry Monographs)'
Since the 1970s, Ray Jackendoff has investigated many complex issues in syntax, semantics and the relation of language to other cognitive domains. He steps back in this book to survey the broader theoretical landscape in linguistics, in an attempt to identify some of the sources of the widely perceived malaise with respect to much current theorizing. Starting from the "Minimalist" necessity for interfaces of the grammar with sound, meaning and the lexicon, Jackendoff examines many standard assumptions of generative grammar that in retrospect may be seen as the product of historical accident. He then develops alternatives more congenial to contemporary understanding of linguistic phenomena. "The Architecture of the Language Faculty" seeks to situate the language capacity in a more general theory of mental representations and to connect the theory of grammar with processing. To this end, Jackendoff works out an architecture that generates multiple co-constraining structures, and he embeds this proposal in a version of the modularity hypothesis called "Representational Modularity". Jackendoff carefully articulates the nature of lexical entries, including idioms and productive affixes. The resulting organization of the grammar is compatible with many different technical realizations, which he shows can be instantiated in terms of a variety of current theoretical frameworks. [via]

Already hailed as a masterpiece, Foundations of Language offers a brilliant overhaul of the last thirty-five years of research in generative linguistics and related fields. "Few books really deserve the clich� 'this should be read by every researcher in the field,'" writes Steven Pinker, author of The Language Instinct, "But Ray Jackendoff's Foundations of Language does."
Foundations of Language offers a radically new understanding of how language, the brain, and perception intermesh. The book renews the promise of early generative linguistics: that language can be a valuable entree into understanding the human mind and brain. The approach is remarkably interdisciplinary. Behind its innovations is Jackendoff's fundamental proposal that the creativity of language derives from multiple parallel generative systems linked by interface components. this shift in basic architecture makes possible a radical reconception of mental grammar and how it is learned. As a consequence, Jackendoff is able to reintegrate linguistics with philosophy of mind, cognitive and developmental psychology, evolutionary biology, neuroscience, and computational linguistics. Among the major topics treated are language processing, the relation of language to perception, the innateness of language, and the evolution of the language capacity, as well as more standard issues in linguistic theory such as the roles of syntax and the lexicon. In addition, Jackendoff offers a sophisticated theory of semantics that incorporates insights from philosophy of language, logic and formal semantics, lexical semantics of various stripes, cognitive grammar, psycholinguistic and neurolinguistic approaches, and the author's own conceptual semantics.
Here then is the most fundamental contribution to linguistic theory in over three decades. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Simpler Syntax'
This groundbreaking book offers a new and compelling perspective on the structure of human language. The fundamental issue it addresses is the proper balance between syntax and semantics, between structure and derivation, and between rule systems and lexicon. It argues that the balance struck by mainstream generative grammar is wrong. It puts forward a new basis for syntactic theory, drawing on a wide range of frameworks, and charts new directions for research.
In the past four decades, theories of syntactic structure have become more abstract, and syntactic derivations have become ever more complex. Peter Culicover and Ray Jackendoff trace this development through the history of contemporary syntactic theory, showing how much it has been driven by theory-internal rather than empirical considerations. They develop an alternative that is responsive to linguistic, cognitive, computational, and biological concerns.
Simpler Syntax is addressed to linguists of all persuasions. It will also be of central interest to those concerned with language in psychology, human biology, evolution, computational science, and artificial intelligence. [via]

Robert Evans (PSAS), a longtime member of the deviantART community, has succeeded in making a radical artistic statement about turning artists' visions into actual realities.
Robert's pathway to actualization of his vision was facilitated by forward-thinking executives at Lexus who reached out to the creative cutting edge, to deviantART artists, for new revolutionary design ideas for the production of their 2014 Lexus IS. The Lexus IS Design Contest was born and dA's Robert Evans has come away with the prize: experiencing having his personal artistic conceptualization of how an automobile should look and roll become a real world reality. As Grand Prize Winner, the new Lexus built to Robert's design was debuted at the SEMA auto show in Las Vegas before 60,000 US and international buyers and then featured at the Los Angeles Auto Show before 12,000 industry decision-makers and 4,000 media correspondents from 50 countries.

I'm not saying these people are "evil" are anything derogatory, I'm just saying that some people are genuinely unaware of how they work and can make mistakes and assumptions if things aren't explained.

Liam Sharp was and is one of the most sought after comic artists in the business. After bursting on the scene by drawing the bestselling Marvel UK title of all time, Death Head II, he was back in America illustrating top line comics like Superman, Batman and Spiderman as well as special projects for people like Stan Winston. For anyone unfamiliar with his amazing work, his galleries can be found on deviantART. I recently got lost for an entire day perusing a single file of his Conan illustrations.

Ladies and Gentlemen
After almost 18 months, we're finally proud to announce
The Grand release of Omnimo 6.0.
The biggest
Most important
And likely, the last major update
In the lifecycle of this project.
Life's circumstances have a tendency to change rapidly, and indeed, both of us (me and Xyrfo) had experienced rather significant changes which kept us from activelly working on this project. We started it as we were teenagers, but we've grown up and our new lives have begun. Perhaps Omnimo is a tribute to this transition; a hobbyist project that had become more serious with every release. We put our faith in the hope that our efforts were not in vain, and that the long wait had been worth it.
In our previous releases, we hesitated making the changelog out of fear that we won't cover everything that we've worked on. Incidentally, it's also the case for Omnimo 6.0 - we've improved it so much, I

So Sunday morning, after arriving the previous night from 4 consecutive gigs in other states, I made it to at the tiny airport in my home city of Shreveport LA to find that (of course) it was overbooked! This was a wonderful start to my already convoluted journey to my final destination – Chengdu, Sichuan, China – that involved 4 flights, 4 bus rides, and countless taxis and subway exchanges.
Well I rescheduled first leg of the trip within enough time to make my second flight out of Atlanta, GA without messing up any of my other flights...miraculous!
After a quick (and I mean very quick) layover, I boarded my first ever double-decker flight!
The routing of these flights, by the way, made absolutely NO sense whatsoever lol I went from Shreveport,

Page Views - What Do They Really Mean?Page ViewsPage Views - What Do They Really Mean?3 years ago in Art Features More Like This
Page views are a huge talk on deviantART. For many they represent who they follow, who they talk with, and even who they are willing to be friends with.
As of January 5, 2011, I removed viewing page views from my page and on others.
I replaced it with a message that said:
"Page Views - You may notice that I don't view page views. Not only was my page view count once destroyed by a bot, but I have come to realize page views should not represent the face of a deviant. Who they are as a person and an artist should.
As of January 5, 2011, I will no longer be paying attention to my own page views, and in addition I have vowed not to follow deviants based on page views, but instead based on ability and personality.
Thank you"
At that point I had 315,730 Page Views.
But I thought I would take this as a chance to write a little something about page views as well.

The Idea
Basically, I noticed a part of my profile seemed a little blank, so I decided to create a custom box on my page dedicated to featuring deviants of all talents weekly . The box will feature a recommended friend, and the deviant that recommended them. It will also include a tidbit about the recommended friend, including why you should check them out Each duo will be up for a week, and at the end of the month, I will collect all of the features and create one big journal feature, with everyone that participated that month.

Fan art includes those artworks that are based on or contain material such as characters, settings, concepts or universes in general that are copyrighted to someone else other than the artist creating said Fan artwork. According to aunjuli "Fan Art is a way to show appreciation for someone else's creation.The root of it all is love, gratitude, and the desire to create more than what was originally handed to you."

Posted: 12:00 a.m. Saturday, May 11, 2013
By Debbie Travis
Question: We are doing a quick kitchen makeover and would like your advice about decorating the backsplash area to give the space some character. Will glass tiles eventually become dated? We might be transferred in a year or so and are hoping to make a few upgrades that will help us sell.
Answer: Decorating with tiles is a timeless tradition. All types of tile, from elegant marble or rustic terra-cotta to ceramics in transitional patterns, have been utilized to beautify kitchens and baths. Apart from a few color choices that do become dated, their allure continues to grow.
Glass tiles have reached a new high in popularity. Colored glass is being used in large sheets on countertops as well as in the dazzling array of glass tiles available for backsplashes. The sparkling, translucent properties of glass in both clear and colored states make this material a designer's dream.
Colored glass tiles can add a surprising accent in a kitchen that is monochrome, or that is mostly stainless steel or wood. Glass mixes well with other tiles, including stone and ceramic, to offer a wide variety of design patterns for a backsplash.
Be inspired by the choices available on sites such as www.interstyle.ca
Icestix are one-half-inch-by-2- or 4-inch glass tiles that sparkle in a mosaic of textures and finishes. They can be run vertically or horizontally, to form unique patterns.
Agate glass tiles are made from recycled glass, and their rounded shapes add a jewel-like character to a surface. Dewdrops — a mix of 1-by-1-inch glossy, iridescent and matte tiles in brilliant hues — are mesh-mounted for easy installation.
Modern, crisp Glasshues tiles are shown in the photo. They come in matte or glossy finishes, or mix them, as shown.
In addition to backsplashes, glass tiles can be applied to walls, tabletops and islands as an attractive detail. They can carry a color or theme around a room if you match them up with colors or patterns found in other materials.
My bet is that you'll hate to leave your kitchen. Good luck.
'Un-solid' that teal
Q: I have a large, bright bedroom that I want to paint teal. I love the color, but it is very solid. Can you recommend a paint method that would give me a translucent effect and make the color more airy, but without losing the vibrancy of teal?
A: This is where glaze becomes your best friend. A glaze is a clear translucent medium that, when mixed with paint, allows some of the undercoat to shine through. It does not dilute the color, but the translucent quality adds depth to the finish.
Start with a light-blue base-coat. Then mix your favorite teal shade, half and half, with glazing liquid. Roll this over the light base-coat with a sponge roller. Allow it to dry, and add a second coat of the colored glaze if you prefer a deeper color.
It's best to experiment, first, on a board until you achieve the vibrancy you are after.
To replace carpet on stairs …
Q: The carpet on the stairs in our 20-year-old ranch home must be replaced. But we do not need to replace the carpet it connects to, which is in the living room. When we take up the carpet, how far back do we go when we get to the top? Do we stop at the bottom, or top, of the riser?
A: The carpet you are replacing on the stairs should stop at the top of the last riser, as it is part of the staircase. It's best if you choose a shade for the stairs that complements, but does not match, the living-room carpet.

Cruel To Be Kind
The best way for aid groups to help Zimbabwe is to halt donations until after Mugabe's gone.
Last week, Zimbabwe's government asked international donors and nongovernmental organizations to step in and assist the hundreds of thousands of families it has made homeless since May 19, when it began a controversial "clean-up campaign." Using bulldozers, the Zimbabwean army has destroyed the makeshift houses and flea markets that were the homes and businesses of Harare's urban poor.
On the surface, such a request might appear to be an embarrassing U-turn by President Robert Mugabe's government, which initially insisted it could re-house the urban poor it was making destitute. Indeed, for the first three weeks of the campaign, aid organizations were forcibly prevented from assisting those left to live in the open at the onset of winter, without food, their belongings piled up on the roadside beside them.
But it would be naive in the extreme to believe the ZANU-PF-led regime has miraculously woken up to its self-made humanitarian disaster, and, overwhelmed by guilt or compassion, is now asking for help. ZANU-PF has masterminded the theft of three elections—two general and one presidential—over the past five years; retention of power at all costs is its sole modus operandi.
To ensure the party's political superiority, it must keep the opposition weak. The Movement for Democratic Change, the leading opposition party, has its support base in poor urban neighborhoods, so diluting their numbers by moving people to rural areas makes it more difficult for the MDC to organize.
The economic policies that have been implemented since Mugabe began to forcibly dispossess white farmers of their land as part of his controversial land redistribution campaign six years ago have left the country on the verge of collapse. And one of the main consequences of the economic meltdown has been Zimbabwe's growing reliance on the food and financial aid provided by donors.
Currently, most international and local NGOs attempting to alleviate the people's suffering must do so under the watchful eye of the government's Provincial Social Services Committee, which approves all aid programs. Effectively, this allows the government to control a significant amount of the aid. In the run-up to the recent general election, ZANU-PF was accused of withholding food from rural residents unless they voted for the ruling party. Even today, food, blankets, and other essential items meant for distribution in many of the Harare constituencies affected by Mugabe's latest campaign are being withheld from people who supported, or are even suspected of supporting, the opposition party in the March 31 general election.
Many despots who have wreaked havoc across Africa over the past few decades have sought to control who receives aid. Donations have repeatedly been stolen and used to support armed conflict in Somalia, Sudan, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Using international donations as a political weapon to retain power is a blatant abuse of donors' resources. While no one wants to see hundreds of thousands of Zimbabweans starve, in this situation, it may be more ethical for NGOs to withhold aid if they know it is being used to further the goals of the ruling regime. Allowing food and shelter to be distributed selectively only prolongs the tyranny under which all Zimbabweans live.
The situation will worsen once the government's NGO Bill becomes law. The bill, which has been passed by parliament and awaits only President Mugabe's signature to take affect, will give the Zimbabwean government absolute authority over how NGOs operate in the country, will subject groups to political loyalty tests, and will eventually be used to ban organizations who do not demonstrate their political allegiance to ZANU-PF.
The proposed law also prevents international organizations from working explicitly on human rights and makes it a crime for the directors of local organizations to accept foreign funding for work on human rights. In an economy that has been contracting continuously in recent years, there is no possibility for human rights organizations to raise funds locally. The bill effectively bans any human rights work in Zimbabwe.

Tyres of quality and great service too
Review by confirmed purchaser
It's so great to deal with a company that takes the hassle out of buying stuff. I hate having to go out to the shops. As a busy copper I really don't have the time. Originally found TYREMEN as they appear to be the only place you can get Vredestein tyres despite the fact the Warehouse is right near me! Easy to use the website and when I call them or email them i get called 'Sir' which is always nice and everything is sorted easily and painlessly. Love 'em. Use 'em. All good 😎

Set an Email Reminder for NBA Playoffs: Los Angeles Clippers at Memphis Grizzlies
When: Saturday, April 27, 2013
The shift of venue seems to have lit a fire in the Grizzlies as they took Game 3, and cut into the Clippers' series lead. Memphis returned to what worked during the season, strong inside play and great defense, and it worked. Los Angeles could not get things going most of the night, and simply looked outmatched in this one. Game 4 could go either way, and this series is shaping up to be one worth keeping an eye on.
