Holy Crud!
Not that this is a newsflash but these numbers are a reminder of how FUBAR the stock market is these days and it may be a while before things get back on track. While I was struck by a lack of (relative) negative sentiment the other day in the 4.5% drop and yesterday's action didn't seem to cause panic exactly it feels like the anxiety ratcheted up some.
From 30,000 feet it is fascinating how long this has been going on and how fast the decline was (38% in just one year is huge) and understandably people are very worried. If the SPX going to 600 crowd ends up being right that will scare a lot more people but at 778 the market is down 50% from its peak. Another 178 points from here is 22% more (11% as measured from 1565) so in that light we have already endured the worst in terms of numbers. I imagine that another 178 points from here would be worse in terms of fear created. I don't know about you I think these numbers are important.

I'm taking just a bit of solace in the fact that the market declines are being driven primarily by the financials. The Bespoke guys had a couple of good posts recently showing that the average stock is doing much better (that's relative) than the indexes would imply. Emotions are driven by the headline numbers for sure, but I'm trying hard to stay rational as my port just bumps along...too late to sell and too early to buy.

Been thinking the same thing. We're more than half way to the bottom. Isn't great to be an optimist?
I'm hoping that this economic dislocation brings some manufacturing back to the United States. This country needs to start making more products with real, tangible value. Not promoting protectionism for sure. - 6:39 AM

Anon 6:34, take comfort in the fact you are not alone. I have not sold anything and having been buying equities with earnings from current holdings. If history repeats itself, it will be a satisfactory move. If history doesn't repeat itself, it won't really matter. The best move I made was having a sensible asset allocation to begin with.

If we see a SPX 600, count on a few soviergn defaults, currency runs and as Roger said, increased fear and panic. Throw in C, BOA and other global banks failing and you get more free fall, which adds to more fear, panic, currenct runs, etc. World leaders are incompetent/corrupt to the degree they f$ck things up during good times. If the bottom drops, their initial responses will be horrible for some time.
- Anonymous said...
6:39: Do not hold your breath about manufacturing coming back to the US. The reality is the rest of the world is willing to work harder for less pay and benefits than we are in the US. Manufacturing is their opportunty to build a middle class like the US has over the last 50 years. We in the US should be focused on getting the right education so we can move up the food chain to higher value jobs (software, complex manufacturing, etc.). The sooner we realise this and refocus the better.

roger - not to go back to the Santelli Chicago Tea Party comments from yesterday but I think this plan is really hitting a nerve with average americans. Here's my idea (and I am serious about this)...I think someone should start a boycott where on a specific date, everyone should not paying their mortgage. It doesn't matter if you can afford it or not, just stop paying. This would send a clear message that ordinary, hard working Americans who are responsible (which despite the media reports are most of us) will not stand for bailouts of deadbeats and morons who couldn't understand that their $30K a year salaries couldn't cover a $500K mortgage.
I am absolutely serious about this idea. If enough people were behind it, what could the banks do? Foreclose on everyone?
Ever read that book tipping point? All it takes is one idea and a lot of momentum - 7:00 AM

No offense, but I'm sure some will be taken, but the average American is apparently stupid then. Obama is doing exactly what he said he was going to do. He was going to "spread the wealth". With a majority in congress, we all knew his bills would breeze right through. So we got the government we deserved, apparently. Why are we getting mad now? Should've been mad in November and points before.
Back to the numbers, this is sooo reminiscent of the dot bomb days. I can remember everyone looking at Lucent when it was below a buck. We all couldn't believe where they were after where they had been. That was about the days of the bottom ... Octoberish 2002. I'm not saying we're done doing down appreciably, but this is deja vu all over again. This time, financials. - 7:07 AM

Roger, why do you suppose that GE doesn't take some steps to somehow quarantine GE Capital, like GM did with GMAC? I'm a long way from an investment banker, but it seems to me that they've got some healthy businesses (unlike GM) that are being held hostage by the financial woes of GE Capital and they're not being very proactive in addressing the issue. Maybe some kind of spin-off with a majority investment from a hedge fund instead of money from Buffett?

bill b - obama ran on a platform of helping 95% of americans. The new mortgage bill will help less then 5% and is truly aimed at deadbeats.
I hear you that people should have known what they were getting themselves into. Just for the record, I saw right thru his 95% promise and voted for mccain. but that is what he ran on - 7:15 AM

6:56 Agreed. Seems like many of the brightest in the U.S. are majoring in financial or legal engineering. As an engineering major myself (Go Boilers!) from mid-80s, many >60% of grad students were from outside the U.S. I wonder if things have changed? Locallly, most of the M.D.s around here have Indian surnames and speak with an accent. Unfortunately, the rewards for some of the most demanding formal educations have been way less than those in the financial arena. Maybe things will change.

I think all this is sort of comical is some ways. Middle class America will see what they got in Obama over the next couple of years. Think of all the boomers who worked their entire lives, paid down their mortgage, etc who will not be able to retire because their savings have been devastated. Now they are being asked to pay more to keep irresponsible people in homes they can't afford. Gotta love it…..people are getting exactly what they elected

I find it utterly amusing that the same people who did not whisper a breath when the republicans were busily concentrating the "paper" wealth of the nation in the hands of the few are now upset that the democrats are spreading the "paper" wealth of the nation to the hands of the many. - 11:20 AM

born - allowing people who create businesses, run businesses, etc allows job to be created and wealth to trickle down. spreading "wealth" to deadbeats who will default in the end anyway is just plain idiotic
- Born2Code said...
very true...
that's why when the republicans pretty much shut down all funding to the SBA and worked feverishly to manipulate SEC rules so that a handful of investment banks can rape the nation we ended up concentrating the "paper" wealth of the nation in the hands of the few.

The technical structure of the equity markets is becoming increasingly chaotic but volume and volatility are not telling the whole story: The divergences are more reminiscent of the feeble thrashing of a drowning swimmer; either the swimmer's hand will encounter something buoyant that it can seize and rise to or the final drop into the depths begins.
Could we be headed for a double bottom? Man, I don't know, but a market this oversold should have initiated some kind of rally so I'm paying very close attention. I enjoy self-righteous moralizing and bashing brown/immigrant/welfare-types supported by pinko/socialist/liberals and my taxes as much as the next red-blooded American jackass but I'm really busy and cursing the grass for being crushed by elephants just seems like a total waste of time. On a par with trying to explain to tyros why supporting the underlying assets of derivatives may be considerably more cost effective than supporting the derivatives themselves.
Okay, enough fooling around, back to the game: I'm rolling SKF, SDS, GLD and am on the verge of adding more long F (have you seen the reviews of the Fusion? Now that's a hybrid that will get some market share when oil inevitably rises again). - 11:46 AM

Thankfully my timing model has done a good job of insulating my portfolio against this bear market, but now, for the first time, I'm getting worried about the specter of inflation and possible default of the debt in the coming years.
I pretty muched stopped doing market research a few years ago, but now I feel like I have to start over again working on a model to help me determine a strategy to protect myself against a once in a century calamity. This recession isn't the calamity imo. - 12:41 PM

We are in the midst of totally uncharted waters. Predictions cannot work at this point and are irrelavent. As I mentioned a few weeks ago, we can drift down to 3000 on the DOW over the next few years, or we may not.
What this era really brings to the forefront.....is that our leaders in business and politics are not really as smart as we thought. Or maybe they are living the American dream, and gathering as many acorns for themselves as possible.
I think this may be the time to exit the market for good and protect what little is left. How can the US ever expand again with debt levels that can NEVER be paid.
Concerning "stop paying mortgages". The banks would go after the 1st 10% and I would be one of the 10%.
Why doesn't the government offer 3% mortgages for everyone?
My goal in life is to see that all of the unethical, lying CEO's and their respective boards end up in extreme poverty. If the socialists help me, so be it. - 12:51 PM

What I see on these boards is a bunch of smug folks who think their hands are clean of the excesses of the real estate/credit bubble - what a bunch of nonsense
Who got the money that the banks are unlikely to get back - EVERYONE - at least everyone that made, sold, serviced, worked, or hired anything in the past.
Sorry bubs, but everyones paycheck and business was pumped up by the merry go round, so the fact that we all pay is hardly unfair.
A fractional banking system always has a stability limit, in a big enough pull back - it fails - and it is all of our problems, not just the folks left holding when the music stops...the guy that gets out of a ponzi scheme the day before it folds is not "innocent"

I don't see that. The 401k choices at my work and their performance since July:

oh, and the commenter two previous is full of it. Taking money for a service or a good is NOT the same as speculating, and it was speculating that brought this down on us. Don't try and make some sort of moral equivalence. There isn't one. That is like saying because thieves use money and non-thieves accept money we are all thieves. It simply isn't true.

YMMV - with all due respect, you're an idiot. I bought a home that I could afford with a fixed rate mortgage. I have no other debt to my name besides my mortgage. Remind me how I benefited from this?

LOL, as I said, everybody has clean hands, but the "other guy".
As a matter of fact, I have no mortgage debt at all - but I am not so blind as to believe that that the trillions of $$ now lost did not do me some good as well - better car sales, big TVs, retail of all kinds, tax receipts for my town and state, construction businesses - EVERY business (and gov.)did better from the grease the bubble pumped out.
Sure some got "more", but the vast majority got "some".
ps. the last bubble I don't see how it stays inflated is college ed tuition - 20-40k per year without HELOCs to tap ???? hmmmmm. - 4:55 PM
- Anonymous said...
I agree with what the above two posters said to you. Obviously, the "money" from these deals worked their way through the entire economy. But that does not make all of us guilty of the speculations that went on. If some people were stupid enough to buy a $500,000 house on a $50,000 salary, why should we bail them out? I don't mind helping those in need, but I do mind rewarding bad behavior. And that applies to the bank and auto industry CEO's as well. - 5:18 PM

Except that these people didn't create jobs here, they moved them offshore to increase profits. Workers here lost their jobs in record numbers. In the last eight years, we've seen a massive transfer of wealth upwards to the very few. I've heard that theory about "trickle down," it's in the same ballpark as unicorns. - 10:58 PM

Anonymous, you digress. The fiction that lowering taxes on business results in domestic job creation has been refuted by the massive off shoring of jobs. Bush's tax cuts benefited predominantly big business and the uber wealthy. But he created only a net three million jobs in eight years, the fewest of any president since 1939 when the Labor Dept. began tracking these figures. - 10:10 PM

This holiday season I discovered that Comcast OnDemand had a hi-def Yule Log.
Because she's a busy person (but loves Christmas), I immediately emailed my buddy Kathy Schrock to take a look at it. It is a rare even that I can find out something "technology" that she doesn't already know about.
TV Guide must read Kathy's blog, because there's a mention of this Yule log in this week's magazine!
I took this photo of my Sony Bravia TV Screen while waiting for Santa to arrive. Looks real, doesn't it?

text: After reading your ramblings GoldSpirit I have came to the conclusion that perhaps your love for pro rasslin is no more. You seem to complain about damn near everything. I understand some people can't afford paying for ppv's, its a tough world out there. But if you do watch Wrestlemanina the next day like you said, I'm pretty sure your not going to like what happened regardless. You seemed to have "grown up" and pro rasslin isn't as entertaining as you once thought it was. It's ok, it's a different product nowadays not to mention the internet damn near took all the fun away from it. Ask yourself this question, when was the last time you were really surprised?? I'm sure it's been awhile, I know it has been for me and I rarely read the spoilers. That's what keeps it fun for me but pro rasslin is also in my blood. I read where you said ppv's are just a continuation of Raw and Smackdown, thats just not true my friend. Raw and Smackdown build up f-e-u-d-s to the ppv. At the ppv's thats where the conflict usually ends. Its episodic television at its best. I try to look at the good parts of the show and not really dwell on the bad, it makes for a much more pleasurable viewing experience.

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) - Marshall coach Doc Holliday doesn't want to see a repeat of last year's floundering defense.
While Marshall thrived behind quarterback Rakeem Cato, opposing offenses ran up 43 points per game on the Thundering Herd, which allowed at least 50 points five times.
Chris Rippon resigned as defensive coordinator a day after Marshall finished the season 5-7. The widely traveled Chuck Heater, who was on Urban Meyer's staff at Florida along with Holliday last decade, was hired by Holliday from Temple to try to straighten out a unit that returns seven starters.
"Offensively we took some strides. We got better a year ago," said Holliday, Marshall's fourth-year coach. "Defensively, we didn't. We've got to make sure that happens this year."
He'll try to turn things around with Heater, who's at his 12th school in a college coaching career that began in 1976. Heater earned two national championship rings while on Urban Meyer's staff at Florida and another in 1988 at Notre Dame.
"Seeing from last year to this year, you can tell the attitude of the defense changed," said Marshall defensive end Jeremiah Taylor. "When somebody makes a play, you see the whole sideline up and cheering, rooting them on."
Marshall has yet to earn a berth in the Conference USA championship game since joining the league in 2005. The key to getting there this season could loom in the regular-season finale Nov. 29 at home against East Division favorite East Carolina.
Marshall opens the season at home Aug. 31 against Miami (Ohio).

My nephew and I spent a great week in Dublin staying at the Westin. From check-in to check-out our stay was outstanding. Everyone from front desk to concierges to doormen to wait staff were professional, knowledgeable, friendly and actually seemed to enjoy their jobs. Rooms were quiet and tastefully furnished.
Kudos to you all and thanks for a very memorable visit!

We have just come back from a wonderful stay at the Westin, Dublin. It was the perfect location to be able to visit everything on foot. As it was our anniversary, our room was upgraded and a Happy Anniversary message was left in our room together with chocolate cake to share - what a lovely touch. The room was clean, well maintained and very luxurious. Every member of staff we came into contact with was very helpful and pleasant. On the last day, before leaving for the airport, we had lunch in the Mezzanine bar, which was the perfect way to finish off our visit to Dublin.

We spent our final day/night in Dublin pre Christmas at The Westin. The festive feeling was certainly alive and well and we immediately felt a warm, tasteful Christmas atmosphere upon arrival.
Reception staff were fantastic, and Karl and The Mint team (not to mention drinks and food) were amazing. We ate in the Exchange and the service and staff were again, flawless.
I would most definitely recommend The Westin Dublin to a friend or colleague, either for corporate or personal usage. A must visit you might say!

Rated 5 out of 5 by JohnBoston123 Great hotel, great location, great staff
I stay in hotels about 80 nights a year of which about 40 are at various Westin properties. This is by far the nicest Westin I've ever visited. As SPG Platintum, I was upgraded to a writer's room overlooking the front of the hotel and the old Bank of Ireland. The room was immaculate, bathroom was huge and brand new, and the bed was heavenly. The staff were friendly, the breakfast was excellent and I really loved the fireplace. I can't think of anything negative to say about this place. Even the location is perfect. Close to shopping on Grafton St, very close to Trinity and Temple Bar and there are multiple buses that run right next to the hotel. On top of that, I was looking for a particular bottle of liquor and emailed in advance asking if they had any recommendations. The concierge, Ross called around to local shops before I arrived and emailed me with a response. I didn't meet Ross on my stay but I really appreciated his effort. Stay here, you won't be disappointed. I wish all Westins were like this place.

In the week before Christmas we had an excellent celebratory meal in the Exchange Restaurant. The mixed age group found plenty to choose from on the very well priced Festive dinner menu. The buzz in the restaurant added to our mood on the occasion and staff were friendly and attentive, even though very busy on the night. It was first visit for many of us to this venue and would gladly recommend to friends. Thank you.

Bottle: The aroma consists of milk chocolate, dark chocolate, vanilla, and a touch of roast. It pours a dark brown with some faint orange highlights and a small beige head. The flavor starts with a quick dose of sugary chocolate. The finish has some light roast and cream. It's medium bodied with light-moderate carbonation.

A: Pours with 3 fingers of bubbly tan head over a dark brown body. Head recedes slowly.
S: Slight cocoa and burnt.
T: The first sip was "woody". I got very little stout or chocolate flavor. It was surprising - not happy birthday surprise - like you have an STD surprise. The second sip was improved slightly - but still not enjoyable. I went for a third...
M: Very light and frothy feeling. Not a good mouth feel.
O: Between the taste and mouthfeel I just couldn't get into this one. I have to admit it is the first beer I didn't finish. (I only had a single bottle - I leave open the possibility that I got a bad one). I am not going to get another and find out.

I picked up a bottle of Rhinelander Chocolate Bunny American Stout last week for $3.69 at the Beer Depot. I've never seen this beer before and I haven't had any Minhas beers before, but it was pretty cheap and I thought it was worth the risk, so lets see how it goes. No visible bottling date. Poured from a brown 22oz bottle into a imperial pint glass.
A- The label looks ok, it's a little cheesy looking and it isn't too eye catching. It poured a very dark brown color that was right on the border of being black and it didn't let any light come through with a finger and a half of darker tan head that died down to a thin ring that eventually faded away and it didn't leave any laving behind. This was a decent looking stout, but i wish it had some lacing.
S- The aroma starts off with a slightly higher amount of medium sweetness followed by the roasted malts being the first to show up with some pretty grainy and a little stale smelling malts with a light caramel like aroma with the chocolate showing up the most but it had a weird watery and cheap chocolate like aroma to it. Towards the end there's a real light coffee aroma. The aroma wasn't that great, it was pretty close to average but that weird chocolate aspect knocked it down a notch.
T- The taste seems to be pretty similar to the aroma and it starts off with a slightly higher amount of medium sweetness followed by the roasted malts still being the first to show up and they impart all the same aspects that I got in the aroma with a little more of those grainy and stale aspects with that weird chocolate aspect still coming through the most and there's also a slight cocoa powder like flavor. On the finish comes a very light coffee flavor with pretty much no bitterness with a stale malt and weird chocolate aftertaste. This beer didn't taste that great, it had the same problems as the aroma.
M- Smooth, watery, a little crisp, on the very light side of being medium bodied with a medium amount of carbonation. The mouthfeel wasn't good, the carbonation was ok, but it was very thin and watery.
Overall I thought this beer wasn't that great and I thought it was a below average example of a chocolate Stout, the two main problems were the stout base being too stale and watery and the chocolate aspect wasn't that enjoyable. This beer didn't have the best drinkability, it was smooth, but the flavors did not keep me wanting to drink it so one glass is a little more than enough for me. What I liked the most about this beer was the appearance, it looked fairly true to style. What I liked the least about this beer was the stout base and the chocolate aspect, they both need a good amount of work. I wouldn't buy this beer again, but I'm kind of glad I at least tried it, I didn't expect it to be that great anyway, but for $3.69 it wasn't a huge disappointment. I wouldn't recommend this beer. All in all this one just wasn't for me, the main thing I look for in the style needed some major work. This might be an old bottle, but with no bottling date I can't tell. This didn't make for a good first impression of Minhas. Better luck next time guys, this one needs some major work.

1.98/5 rDev -35.7%
look: 3 | smell: 3 | taste: 1.5 | feel: 2 | overall: 1.75
I've had a couple different chocolate stouts, and this one has easily been my least favorite. It was on sale at the craft beer store I usually go to so I thought I'd give it a try, but I can now see why it was so cheap for a 22-ounce bottle.
Appearance - Looked decent enough. Really dark with a nice dark tan head on it. Head dissipated really quickly though, and there was zero lacing, so after about 5 minutes the appearance wasn't particularly great either.
Smell - I got a lot more of hops in the aroma than I did in the beer itself. You can pick up a lot on the chocolate and it doesn't smell like particularly good chocolate.
Taste - Just not good. The chocolate is overpowering and like I mentioned before, it's not even a good chocolate flavor. A lot of nice, rich dark chocolate would be one thing, but this feels like they just dumped a lot of Hershey's Chocolate Milk Mix into the kettle.
Mouthfeel - Surprisingly thin for a stout. Very little carbonation, honestly a little flat feeling. It's possible I got a bad bottle (there wasn't a bottle date) but I'm not gonna risk it by buying more.

look: 3.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 3.25 | overall: 3.5
Came in a 22-ounce bottle and chilled to 36 degrees in my beer cooler. Pours a pitch black with a 1-finger tan head that leaves good lacing when sipped. The aroma is of roasted malt and chocolate. Actually it is brewed with cocoa powder. The taste of chocolate hits you with the first sip along with a hint of caramel. Smooth overall with no harsh finish. Not a bad stout but should be a tad thicker. Overall it wasn't bad.

3.04/5 rDev -1.3%
look: 3.25 | smell: 3.25 | taste: 3 | feel: 2.75 | overall: 3
purchased this from Half Time, enjoyed chilled in a goblet.
The color is black, clarity opaque with thick medium tan cap which collapses to a ring of tight beads. The lace sticks in strings to the glass. The smell is kind of vegetal and very roasty, but not exactly sweet with mild toasted bread aroma. The feel is not great a little too much roast/char and mild sweetness with a slightly slick feel with mild carbonation and semi-dry finish.
The flavor is not bad at first with some malt flavor which is roasted with a mild caramel sweetness in the background with some light vegetal tastes in the mid palate. The taste is not very chocolatey, but it is dry and herbal with some mild yeast accents which give a subtle fruitiness to the taste. Overall I guess this is not all bad, but it lacks what you are looking for most in a chocolate flavored stout which is chocolate taste- this doesn't have much stout in the flavor either really just roasted malt so I would definitely not buy this again.

Pours a pitch black with a creamy tan head. One of the darker beers I have seen.
Mainly smells of chocolate, there is also toffee and brown sugar.
Chocolate dominates, no surprise there. It is more a sweet type, with undertones of coffee to add some bitterness. Also hints of brown sugar.
Feel is a bit thin for the style, a beer like this should be thicker.
Not great, but better than I expected for the price. Usually I think of stouts as cool weather beers, but this one would be good on a hotter day. It goes down easy, and has a decent flavor, and isn't as filling as a heavier beer. Definitely worth a try at this price, just a decent beer at a good price.

Sheriff Has Right Stand On Gun BillFebruary 1, 2013Chautauqua County Sheriff Joe Gerace took the high road when asked of his opinion of New York's controversial SAFE Act law regarding assault weapons and magazines.... critixif you have a 10 round mag, you are only allowed to put 7 in. comical. bad guys are you listening?????????? only the braindead left could come up with such idiocy. 13 Agrees | 4 Disagrees | Report Abuse » askwhyOnce they put fines, fees and revenue genraion behind the law ...Joe will be all over it if it fills his coffers and expands his power and empire. Anthing to legitimize his prison guards as real police in NYS. 4 Agrees | 11 Disagrees | Report Abuse » Larry1A Bushmaster is NOT an assault rifle! It is a normal semi-automatic rifle that has cosmetic features to make it LOOK like a military rifle. Pistol grips, bayonet lugs, flash-suppressors do not enhance the bullet energy nor the rate of fire. Also, it is not "powerful". The .223 has 1293 FtLb. Here are some rounds for popular hunting rifles: .22-250 1741 FtLb, 7mm-08 2339 FtLb, .243 2080 FtLb, .270 2706 FtLb, .30-06 2820 FtLb, and .308 2648 FtLb. Every one of these are a lot more "powerful" than the .223 15 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse » keyastrokeThe law was passed week ago, there has been plenty of time to read the bill and come to a decision. The Sherriff and the Sherriffs association have take no stand on the issue at all. They have only said that there must be refinement to the law, essentially a provision that no longer makes it illegal for the police in New York to carry their wepons. It is time to take a stand, will you or will you not force law abiding citizens to give up their right to peacefully own a gun? Now it is "assult" wepons, and number of bullets in a magazine. But in a few years it will be something else entirely as we have seen in every administration to be in Albany. We are still not safer after years of gun law and registrations and buy backs. This system does not work, time to try something else. 8 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse » SeadogDept. of Homeland Security is advising people in the work place to use scissors to stop an armed nut case. Yes, instead of pulling out a concealed weapon to protect yourself, get a pair of scissors out of your drawer. What a country this is becoming. 10 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse » johnee"I am obviously a strong supporter of the Constitution and the Second Amendment, and part of that is people should have the right to bear arms," Gerace said. "But I have a serious problem about high-capacity, high-powered assault rifles." but he forgot to say I am againist law abiding citizens from owning them. I agree with him about criminals not having them, but then again they do not follow the law. That is why they are criminals. 10 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse » patriotsfanReally a pair of scissors? Now you know what kind of idiots we have running this country. This has nothing to do with guns it has evrrthing to do with the left trying to take our guns away. So please quit trying to say otherwise. If our sherriff were telling the truth he would tell you Coumo broke the law and the constitution when he went behind closed doors at night and put his safe act into effect. The state constitution clearly says you cannot do this at night with the doors closed to the public. But like King Obama the constittution does not apply to them. I know you leftys are cheering for them . But what ya gonna do when Obama comes for your rights and you can bet he will. Thats how kings work. 12 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse » SeadogYour Tax Dollars at Work: DHS Public Service "Active Shooter" Video Urges Defend Yourself with Scissors or Hide under a Desk! – Video 1/25/13 There are no words for this! It is a perfect example of why Government should be kept as small and limited as possible! This Department of Homeland Security public service video on how to deal with an "Active Shooter Situation" actually says at one point "you might want to consider overpowering the intruder by any means possible" –and shows a person grabbing a pair of scissors! Scissors! Yet, the Obama Administration would never consider supporting having people with concealed weapons in buildings all over America to take down an intruder before they can kill so many victims! It would be very interesting to know how many tax dollars and how many man hours went into making this video.

It is commonly viewed a being only minimally sufficient for use on deer sized game, something which should be used only by the most expert of shots for such purposes. Even the old, but stll popular 30-30, 1st developed in the late 1800's and used chiefly in "John Wayne" lever action "cowboy" rifles("as seen on TV!); is far more powerful. Of course the .223 can be made into an excellent target round. If you attend local highpower target shoots you'll find that a majority of the rifles used are "tricked out" AR's. 7 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse » KabobBillyThru all of this rhetoric, it was determined that all rounds fired in Connecticut were from a pistol and the .243 weopon was found in the assailants trunk, despite the fact that the coroner publiclly stated otherwise.

The 5.56 (.223) may be a varmint cartridge, but the US military decided to use it as the primary people killer. It doesn't know the enemy from a school child. Sure there are many with more foot lbs of energy on target. Only matters at distance and through obstacles. The AR15 is the primary platform for lots of accessories and even changing calibers. Who cares if a .22 rimfire has the look of an M-16. It means nothing except in the mind of the wannabe badazz or uninformed gun hater. 8 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse » loneriderrr1Dang there might be some "good" democrats after all "This week, it became apparent that the fight in Congress will most likely center on two issues: background checks and mental health concerns.

ATT SIM - iPad / iPhone Compatible
Ok so I have an ATT account and an iPhone 4.
No knowledge of the SIM card slots on current iPad so I am wondering. Can I remove the SIM from my iPhone4, pop it into the iPad and use it without issues from ATT? Seems I never use the iPhone for voice calls anymore, just email / browsing and my eyes would love a larger screen. I have a 'grandfathered " Unlimited Data " plan so do want to go to ATT to have this done and risk losing that plan at the moment.[COLOR="#808080"]

I'll forget about this ....
Found an old thread and yeah it might work, but ATT will catch it faster than one might think. I just want a larger screen phone and Apple has disappointed with the iPhone 5. At this point my only options to keep my unlimited plan intact with ATT and get a larger screen will be with Samsung. Either the SIII or Note 2. I'm trying hard not to do that though.
Awwwwwww! |

Will get blind forever on that eye
EMS wont lose its light. Rinnegan on a even higher level than EMS.
We dont even know if rinnegan allows you to use izanagi and defo not izanami. Izanami was created by the uchiha to stop izanagi so the so6p didnt know anything about it. Izanagi was created by the uchiha by seeing how creation of all things jutsu works kinda like how minato made the rasengan by getting his idea from bijuu bomb. So basicly no, you cant use izanagi or izanami with rinnegan.
Rikudo Sennin used Creation of all things, I'm pretty sure no one can use it aside from Rikudo Sennin himself, Izanagi is just a "weaker" version of Creation of all things let's just put it as that. And as far as we know we have only seen Sharingan's cast Izanagi, we don't know for sure if Rinnegan can actually cast Izanagi.

Isnt this proven by the fact tobi took 1 rinnegan instead of 2. Obviously sharingan has occular techniques that rinnegan doesnt have. Having both sharingan (his T/S justu, all others) & rinnegan (multiple views / hosts / paths) would be a good mixture.

So as falir why tobi and madara cannotbuse is because they havnt had it for near long enough as for nagto .. we dont know hpw he got the rinnegan and he is defiently not an uchiha even if he is the best rinngan user we have seen so far . he does not have knowlage of the tech like uchiha do but are at a limited use because theur form of it isnt perfect thus making them go blind . but with knowlage of the justsu and being well vesed in rinnegan it is possible to use this justu and not go blind . We can well assume tht most of the powers used by the so6ps were used through rinnegan . which with enouhh training in rinnegan it it is possible to acheive . also the so6ps was usibg the creation if all things tech which using yin and yang charka by the rinnegan and this is a more powerful version of the izanagi and he did not yet go blind .

If the Rinnegan was the end-all-be-all Sharingan spamming eye technique, why wouldn't Tobi just pick two of them? But, on the flip side, Edo-Madara was able to activate Susanoo with Rinnegan active, and his EMS deactivated. Answer is simple: There isn't enough information/data available yet.
Originally Posted by Klubargutan allows rinnegan you to multiple use of izanagi?.... or will you get blind forever? or will you get blind for short time like 1 day or some hours? its said in manga that rikudou used it to create techniques and then to split tailed beasts.... was the reason of not showing his eyes that he was blind, or just to hide his identity for a short while? or had he some addictional eyes to use after jutsu creation? i think that when you use it, you must wait like day or so to use it again, to regain your eye, because i dont think that rikudou used it just twice and that he would steal someone's eye in the manga it was stated that so6p used the parent jutsu, which has been identified as creation of all things (banbutsu souzou), izanagi is based on that jutsu. there is a problem with the translations in different sites, for example here what Tobi says to Konan is that Izanagi is the original jutsu but in other translations it appears that Izanagi was a secondary form of the original jutsu considering that in narutopedia it also appears like they are two separate techniques and the article in question is properly referenced http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Creation_of_All_Things I do believe they are separate jutsu. furthermore, the relationship between the sharingan and the rinnegan is that between a parent occular jutsu(dojutsu) -> rinnegan and a derivative dojutsu -> sharingan. so, it makes sense that the techniques are also related in a similar way. which means that the rinnegan's jutsu possibly works differently from the sharingan.

You all are right! I did a lot of Research & Found it! But! You guys are missing the point here! It can only be done by Eternal Mangekyō Byaku-Rinne-Sharingan! I found a image of it! Here it is: :rofl:

Originally Posted by al3xsmith13 you cant compare them to the sage of the six paths!!! no one is anywhere close to him! and ems doesnt lose its light from using ms techniques like susanno or amatasaru.... using izanami/izanagi WOULD MAKE THEM GO BLIND!!! I dont know why you think its logical to make up ideas that rinnegan can use these techiniques with going blind, and imagine if they could itd be OP , Madara and tobi would never lose and seeing that madara already lost.... its not possible Where in the manga does it specify that while having EMS or Rinnegan and using izanami or izanagi will make the eye go blind? There's a reason why EMS is known as ETERNAL, meaning it does NOT lose its light.
If I remember correctly after tobi used Izanagi against Konan , he said one will go blind after using a forbidden jutsu , however If he or she has both uchiha and hashirama blood those jutsus can be used without going blind ... so as all of u know madara took out rinnegan after getting hashirama flesh from senju hashirama , I think it means they wont go blind by using Izanagi or Izanami . It's in Manga chapter 510 u can go check it out . :P
