Twofer Thursday
In just over five months the S&P 500 is up 51% and while may people think it can go higher Michael Kahn mentioned yesterday that the bear market down trend line doesn't come into play until SPX 1100. When the market was at its lows I commented that it is not as bad as it seems. Up here I would say things are not as good as they seem. It doesn't take much to think the crowd may not have it exactly right or that the people who completely missed the crisis before won't correctly declare it over now.
For a little historical perspective that I concede may not be apples to apples, from the March 2003 low of 800 the SPX was at 980 five months later which is a 22.5% gain on its way to a 38% gain from that low to the end of the year before flattening out. We are now up 51% in five months.
There was a low in October 2002 of 798. It went up to 938 by Thanksgiving only to go back down again by March. The fall 2002 rally was 17.5% in two and a half months before turning back down. We are now up 51% in five months.
The rally off of the 1998 double bottom took the SPX up 32% in three months before going sideways for a while. We are now up 51% in five months. The Asian contagion of 1997 barely shows up on the chart. The rally that ignited after the start of the first Iraq war took the market up 18% in a month before going sideways for a while. We are now up 51% in five months.
Of course the current rally has been impressive for its duration and magnitude but it has exceeded reasonably visibility in terms of where revenue is headed, the reality of the jobs situation (unemployment went down due to workforce contraction), the real state of the consumer, the real health of the banks, the reality of the real estate market, the sheer massiveness of the budget and ensuing deficit and more. None of this precludes the market from going higher but the declining volume tells us there is some air under there and I for one am glad to have some cash built up in case these things turn out to matter.
As a follow up to yesterday's post about Canadian investment trusts I stumbled across the Liquor Stores Income Trust LIQ-UN in Canada and LQSIF on the pinksheets. It owns over 200 liquor stores in Canada, a bunch in Alaska and just bought several Liquor Barn stores in Kentucky. I did not look under the hood but like many of the trusts it got pasted in the bear market, has come back some but has held the dividend steady. If you're thinking that liquor store traffic would hold up during a big economic contraction (I would think so) then the decline, more than 50%, might surprise you. If I have time I'll try to learn a little more.
Liquor stores! Wow.

RR: I was already feeling a bit of vertigo, but your numbers give me pause. Don't get me wrong, it was nice to open my wife's 401k and finally see it making upward progress (getting me somewhat off the hook for some stupid moves last year)...but the wall of worry is seeming awfully steep.
Wanted to give you a data point with regard to the Canadian liquor stores: We're from Phoenix, but happen to be living in Fredericton, New Brunswick, for the year. The liquor taxes here are absolutely outrageous--a bottle of wine that would be $4 in the States is about $12 here, "cheap" beer is $25+ a case, and a liter of decent rum is $35. It certainly has cut down on our consumption, regardless of outside economic realities.
That said, if LIQ's business plan includes acquiring more stores (and arguably more room for profitability) in the States, they might be onto something.
Thanks for always bringing new ideas and an interesting perspective to the table! - 5:36 AM

Rally??? or Bull market?
Just because the market is up 51% does not stop it from going up another 51%.
Of course it does not mean it will either. But constantly repeating 51% is not particularly predictive. - 6:26 AM

Well I can only surmise that we won't get a pullback unless I declare my intentions. So I formally announce that:
1) we are going straight up to new highs.
2) Pullback and backing/filling are a thing of the past. This time it really is different.
3) I am going 100% long 3x ETFs.
4) No bonds or any form of diversification for my portfolio! Equities and commodities only baby!
There, that should result in a correction within, or quite likely - under, 24 hrs.

Roger, I'm curious: What's the difference (if any) between investing in the pink sheet and via the Toronto exchange?
- Anonymous said...
I am in your camp. My system gave me a number - 1166. It just showes how oversold we were in march. For me, Roger, It has been a great learning period. I started investing in early 2007 and in Oct.2007 was so scared that I froze. In dec.2008 started investing again and froze in jan.2009 to pick up in march - Thanks to you and your blog. Now Roger, the system that I have developed gives me 1166. And planning for the worst. But If I see a good deal I jump in. In liquor a grat company is Campari - Grat Managment. I have been looking to get in but have not liked the numbers. I like to pick it up for less.

C'mon, Roger, you need a pep talk.
We're up so much because we were down so much. The first battle, systemic risk, has been met and we're back to pre-Lehman levels. The next battle, the economy, is now turning in the market's favor. Look at Germany, France, and our own Fed's pronouncements.
Don't be afraid of big round numbers. Interest rates are accomodative, the yield curve is normalized, and demand for stocks is healthy (above the 200 dma.) Cash pays you nothing.
Go look in the mirror and repeat this--I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, people like me. There now, don't you feel better :) - 7:08 AM
- Anonymous said...
You are looking at it wrong. Stop looking at how high we ar off the bottom.
Wouldn't a 1/3 to 2/3 retracement be normal? If government stimulus is over 1 trillion possibly 2 trillion or more depending on what the fed is not disclosing would you expect the high end or the low end for the retracement?
You are showing your bearish bias instead of increasing your allocations and selling your sds as we move higher above the 200 dma (which has turned up)
Go ahead and continue to explain why the market is wrong and you are right, fight the trend, and lots of luck succeeding because you are going to need it.
Sorry if this is rude but I honestly think you need to get a more neutral as opposed to bearish attitude. The market will do what it does not what we think it should do. - 7:14 AM

high booze tax? gotta pay for the healthcareXD
in most brokerage accounts there is no diff that i know of between buying direct in Canada vs the pinks.
I believe most firms require the pink sheet route. i know there a couple of firms that let you go direct.
6:26, not trying to be real predictive so much as point out that just as things were not as bad as they seemed before i doubt they are as good as they seem now and that a decline would not be a shock and i hope that our clients realize this.
7:14 I can't refute your comment, I can only say that the way I am coming at it is to temper enthusiasm in case there is a big decline. I am very close to the market YTD cash and now tiny SDS notwithstanding. I went down MUCH less, went up much less and close to even which is what I spelled out ahead of time if this was the scenario that played out.
8:26, never thought about that--good stuff. maybe there is a legalized marijuana trust we can buy. - 8:45 AM

Doesn't seem to do much good explaining that going down a little during a crash means you don't need to stress out going up ...or worry about what label to hang on the current trend if it comes to that (shrug).
Overall trend's up on weak sponsorship, government supported earnings and speculation. Big financial outfits are clearly feeling better given all the goodies and slack they've received but the regional and smaller financials are pretty much in the same place the rest of the country is: Nervous, depressed, angry or some combination thereof.
Those of us who added more long exposure this Spring based on fundamental values (while maintaining hedges) aren't fretting too much; mildly bemused by the moderate opportunity cost of remaining strategically defensive during a big rally (sure had bigger legs than I figured) but strategic accounts are in positive territory (above their last peak) so it is what it is and we are where we are; obeying the first rule of investing and avoiding "down a lot" does extract its moiety from time to time.
On the tactical front, my real estate short is still working (up by 12% as of an hour ago) and it looks like yesterdays pop couldn't muster a repeat today but if it does I may have to cover with a small profit until next time: The sector was strenuously overbought and commercial RE fundamentals are under water with 100's of regional banks entangled but there appears to be one devil of a lot of money that wants to believe otherwise. Can't fight liquidity when swing trading so I'll read the chicken entrails and decide at end of trading today (if it's a young chicken I might slap the carcass on the grill afterward though). - 10:53 AM

Hi ROger/readers: Wondering if anyone would care to share their thoughts on the strategist in Barrons who said he buys when the index is greater than 5% above the 200 day MA and sells when it is greater than 5% below it. Am wondering if this reduces whipsaws. Thanks..

after taking today's numbers some key indicators are breaking down. We are in a retracement, perhaps to make a final push to 1166. However I have sold another italian stock. Granitifriandre(grf.mi). So I am converting some gains that I stored into stocks into cash. This has been a bull since march. The suprise will be in 2010 when everyone will be looking for a recovery and we will have what you where looking for a down push to either a new low or touch the march bottem. It would be funny if the yamada turns bullish at 1166 before we begin a new bear(hope final). That would be hillarious. Mike C. will start become a believer not to believe any"PRO" - I am just joking Mike C.
Do not take it sirous. Hope you are doing well Mike.

Any thoughts on nuclear energy as a "theme"? I recently read that China is expected to add 100 new nuclear plants in the next 10 years. - 2:32 PM
- Roger Nusbaum said...
it seems pretty clear that nuclear will be part of the solution over the next decade. I do not know the best way in. if memory serves the two ETFs have a lot of uranium miners and japanese industrial companies (plant builders).

In 2006 and early 2007 you could not justify the price of the S&P or other indicies on fundamentals but Roger and I were bullish. The prices were based on liquidity from the fed.
Today the price on the S&P can not be justified on the S&P and Roger has become bearish, but the fed liquidity makes me bullish.
IMO this defines the rally vs. bull market debate or as RW has decided we no longer need to give it names - which is a cop out IMO which is typical when you are in very confusing times and we are in very confusing times so I probably should not be so difficult - but tell me when it is easy?
I think you need to be bullish when prices are low and/or there is a lot of liquidity from the fed (don't fight the fed)
There is a lot of liquidity from the fed and this bull market will continue (with some scary pull backs that we have not yet experienced) - 2:41 PM

Despite his taunting tone, anon 5:09 raises an interesting question. What is our role in the world going to be without a manufacturing advantage? I suspect think tanks inside the beltway spend lots of time pondering stuff like that. Aside from geopolitical implications, it raises some interesting long term investing questions.

I have two other pairs of Crocs boots in size 9, so I figured these would be a similar fit, even though the bottom of the shoe looked different. They are more narrow than a regular Crocs boot. I do not have a wide foot, but these were just a little too snug on the sides of my foot. The length was fine for me, but if you wear a 9 1/2, I'd order up. I have large calves and these fit finein the calf rolled up or down, the slits on the side give lots of give. Tried on with a skirt, but I do not think they would have worked for me with jeans tucked in. Very cute, came with the tops folded down (they should be shown that way in the pic), but just not the Crocs fit I was used to. I'd recommend them to someone with a more narrow foot, or who is used to snug boots, but just not for me. Back to the store they go, trying the new Berryessa instead.

The Institute has a network of laboratories and observatories located in various places in India, including Kodaikanal (the Kodaikanal Solar Observatory), Kavalur (the Vainu Bappu Observatory), Gauribidanur, Hanle (the Indian Astronomical Observatory) and Hosakote.
The origin of the Indian Institute of Astrophysics can be traced to a private observatory established by William Petrie (died: 1816), an officer of the East India Company. He set up that private observatory in his residence located in Egmore, Chennai (formerly Madras), India. The main aim of the observatory, according to Petrie, was "to provide navigational assistance to the company ships and help determine the longitudes by observing the eclipses of Moon and satellites of Jupiter". In 1790, this private observatory was taken over by the East India Company, with Michael Topping (1747–96) as an astronomer. In 1792, the observatory was expanded and shifted to a complex in Nungambakkam area of Chennai. This was the first modern observatory outside Europe.
Presently, the Indian Institute of Astrophysics functions under the control of the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India.

The Indian Institute of Astrophysics offers graduate and doctoral programs of study and research. It has recently signed a memorandum of understanding with the University of Calcutta to offer an integrated M. Tech-PhD program in astronomical instrumentation. The degrees would be awarded by both institutions. [2]

"Even if we found items that looked the same, they wouldn't have the same sentimental value," she said.
One item, a ceramic piggybank that belonged to her mother, did survive the blast.
"It was in an outbuilding with some of my daughter's stuff that was in storage," she said. "It was just sitting in some ashes."
As for pictures of loved ones, McMillion has been able to obtain most of what was lost by contacting other family members for copies, she said.
NiSource is working with the American Red Cross to offer counseling to people suffering from anxiety related to the explosion, Mayes said.
McMillion tries not to think about the incident. She admitted she has good days and bad.
"There are days that it's all I can do to keep from crying," she said. "But I try to keep a positive attitude and put this all behind me.
"And I feel like getting into another house will be the first step."
The American Red Cross worked with 13 families, including 34 individuals, affected by the explosion, said Cheryl Ingraham, regional emergency services director for the West Virginia region.
Of those people, 13 were children, one was elderly and one had special needs, she said in an email.
As of Friday, only three families still were staying in hotels.
"Others have found alternative rental housing, have returned home or have relocated," she said.

Two people were injured after a crash Thursday afternoon on Little Richmond Road.
Rain may have been a contributing factor in the crash, which happened at approximately 4:20 p.m. on Little Richmond between Gettysburg Avenue and James H. McGee Boulevard.
Both vehicles sustained minor damages and the two injured were taken to the hospital.
The intersections at Gettysburg and at James H. McGee were closed for about one hour.

In the Edit Media (edit image specifically) box, you can crop, flip, rotate, among other things. On the right sidebar, there is an option to
Apply changes to:
- All images sizes
- Thumbnail
- All sizes except thumbnail
I have a ton of image sizes available, and in one particular meta box, just want to override one particular size.
Example: Somebody uploads a 2000x1500 image. This automatically creates a 990x620, 654x420 and a 317x200 for me. I want to be able to edit the image, cropping EXACTLY to 654x420 but then to only override that specific size: 654x420. I don't want the original 2000x1500 to be affected, and I don't want the automatically generated 990x620 and 317x200 to be affected. If it helps, my crop options in code form:
add_image_size('grid-1x1', 317, 200, true);
add_image_size('grid-2x2', 654, 420, true);
add_image_size('grid-3x3', 990, 620, true);
Is this possible?
Furthermore, is there a hook (I searched, couldn't find it) that would allow me to set the image crop aspect ratio and/or selection to some default value?

Japan Display Inc. announces 651ppi display
Not to be outdone by LG's recent announcement of a 440ppi mobile display, Japan Display Inc. says they have managed to double the number of pixels per square inch found on the iPhone's retina display, resulting in 651ppi and an image that is much sharper than anything else currently available.
The JDI display in question measures only 2.3-inches but features a resolution of 1,280 x 800. VR-Zone points out that the company used polysilicon TFTs as the driver element and that the panels had to be manufactured in a low-temperature environment.
The company claims that image quality on the screen is comparable to film-based photographs. There's no doubt that packing more pixels into a display will result in sharper images and text, but can the human eye even distinguish the difference? JDI says yes and they even claim to have results from a study conducted on the sensory evaluation of letters appearing on the screen.
It's unclear how JDI plans to use these screens or how long we will have to wait to see them hit consumer electronics but one thing is for sure; 2.3-inches isn't large enough to make an impact in the smartphone market. But if they can make a display of this size, then surely they could double it to 4.6-inches, right?
JDI launched in April 2012 as a joint effort between Sony Mobile Display, Toshiba Mobile Display and Hitachi Displays. The company will demo the new display and results from the aforementioned study at the Society for Information Display's Display Week 2012, an event that runs through tomorrow in Boston.

Reading this on my 2560x1440 27inch monitor and I can't imagine needing a higher pixel density. Especially not on a 2 inch screen. hmm
I think higher pixel densities is starting to prove more and more useful/important. Although not required I think it makes a big difference.....maybe not on a 2" screen but I'd still love to see how it looks in front of me compared to something else that's normal.
Reading this on my 2560 X 1600 U3011 and I can imagine needing a higher pixel density. Especially on a 2 inch screen. Hmmm.

Reading this on three Dell U3011 displays at 7680 x 1600 and it looks really stretched lol
@amstech: You could be right. My 27 inch 2560x1440 has a higher pixel density than your 30 inch 2560x1600, and it really is prettier, I have seen both monitors side by side. On a 2 inch screen however, you wouldn't even be able to see the pixel. I'm just saying it's not useful unless you use your device from a millimeter away from your face - even then. I'm not saying that's a bad thing though.

reading this on my (800 x 480) Super AMOLED Plus capacitive touchscreen and I can see the pixels. hmmm
30 inch 2560x1600 is 100ppi.
27 inch 2560x1440 is 108ppi.
2.3 inch 1280x800 is 651ppi.
A 651ppi screen is 6.02 times the pixel density of a 27 inch 2560x1440 monitor and 6.51 times the pixel density of a 30 inch 2560x1600 monitor.
I have a stuck pixel on my 108ppi monitor, and without knowing where it is I would never see it. In fact I literally have to set a black background and search from a few inches away just to see it. I have perfect vision (according to my last eye test a few months ago).
I'm not saying stop advancing in technology, I was merely pointing out the obvious. Maybe they should be focusing on high resolution screens with high refresh rates instead.
Rather than having to settle on a TN monitor with horrendous viewing angles to have 120hz for gaming. Luckily for me I picked up a Yamakasi Catleap 2B monitor and am running my 2560x1440 IPS screen overclocked at 120hz.
@Steve - send me two of those Dell 30's and it'll stop looking so stretched
@Guest - Wow - I hadn't seen folks getting those to 120 yet - was it a difficult OC? I've been reading up on those Catleaps and A***** ( don't remember the exact name) and they're very, very interesting.
double the number of pixels per square inch found on the iPhone's retina displayshould read
double the number of pixels persquareinch found on the iPhone's retina displayor
doublequadruple the number of pixels per square inch found on the iPhone's retina displayTwice the pixels per inch (651 vs the iPhone's 326) is four times the pixels per square inch.
@LNCPapa: See 120hz.net
Since the 2B versions are no longer being made, 120hz.net organized a group buy and I was lucky enough to get one. They're expecting more in week or two. The important component is the PCB, they are also having it reverse engineered and plan to reproduce them. So if you're not lucky enough to buy one, you can get a regular Catleap and swap the PCB later. The PCB should theoretically be compatible with Dell and even Apple displays since they all use the same LG panel. Of course those could require some modding.
Your best bet is finding a good Catleap and then swapping PCBs will be simple. Make sure to stay away from multi-input versions, as they cause extra input lag, stick with the basic model (Catleap Q270 SE).
The limiting factor to the overclock is your graphics card. Some cards can hit 135hz, some can only hit 85hz. However an AMD driver was recently released that should let most AMD users hit 125hz. Check out their site, read up about it. Gaming at 2560x1440@120hz with a constant 120fps is unbelievable!
That's precisely why I've been looking at these - I want to get a 120Hz monitor but I'd also really like something higher than 1920x1080. I thought I read that most people are getting 2C models now so I guess that's why they're only talking 97-104Hz with those.
Ha ha, here I am with my U2410 and my U2211H and I go "ooh ah, this 2410 is biiig compared to my 2211 and my old syncmaster 914..." and Steve goes and talked about his triple 3011s. I too would love to see higher density screens. I am afraid 27"+ screens would be too big for my desk space (let alone multiple ones), but at the same time 2560x#### screens sound so appealing.
Guest said: "Reading this on my 2560x1440 27inch monitor and I can't imagine needing a higher pixel density. Especially not on a 2 inch screen. hmm"
Obviously you have no clue what the difference is between pixel density and resolution.....sigh
Guest said: "I'm not saying stop advancing in technology, I was merely pointing out the obvious. Maybe they should be focusing on high resolution screens with high refresh rates instead."
Another one who doesn't get the difference between resolution and pixel density....sigh
A higher resolution for the SANE sized monitor IS(!) a higher PPI. Why on earth would you like to have a higher resolution with the same PPI? Who likes to look at a 40" screen while sitting at a desk? Who likes to have a laptop with a 23" screen? You obviously never looked at a retina display and then at your 100ppi monitor to understand what kind of a huge difference it makes.
Guest said: "2560x1440 IPS screen overclocked at 120hz."
120hz is pure overkill and only reduces the life cycle of your monitor.
We all know this was done so that they can make the pixels covering genitals in JAV even smaller.
Would love to see this implemented, bet multimedia on a display with that pixel density would look superb.
**** off.
@Guest, Today at 4:00 AM & Guest, Today at 4:07 AM: Thank you captain obvious, would you like a gold star? The fact that I specifically mentioned the ppi along with the monitor size and resolution shows I know what I am talking about. Then you pick one poorly worded sentence below that. You're a troll, go away.
lol@trolling guest above:
100PPI would look the same on a 2 inch screen as a 50 inch screen, the resolution would just be larger. However you wouldn't be looking at a 50 inch screen from the same distance as a 2 inch screen.
@guest who thinks 120hz is overkill: Use a 120hz monitor for fps gaming on a computer that keeps a constant 120fps, then try playing that same game on a 60hz monitor with 60fps. You will buy a 120hz monitor on the spot. You don't realize you missing out when using a 60hz monitor, not until you see how fluid a 120hz monitor is.
^ I have a 120hz 23" and while its overall a little smoother, the difference isn't much if you have the power to lock games at 60FPS. My U3011 offers a far superior gaming experience.... It's 95% as fluid/smooth.
With a 120hz panel, your stuck at a lowly 1080p as well.
You get what you pay for.
For an eyefinity/3DS setup I wouldn't use a U3011. The bezel is too thick and those large resolutions are still a little ahead of its time. Maybe in a couple years when they have 4K 120hz panels :P
Think you should read the rest of the thread first amstech. First, your U3011 is only 50% as smooth... technically. Second, the discussion we're having is about a Catleap running at 120Hz - the Catleap 27 is a 2560x1440 monitor.
This comment "First, your U3011 is only 50% as smooth... technically" doesn't address anything I said nor does it counter any points I made.
You carefully read before your post.
Anyways, not trying to be prick just saying!
"Edit on last post"
"You should read carefully before you post"
Shouldn't the "pixels per SQUARE INCH" read instead as LINEAR inches?
Why do people get ppi mixed up like that? After all, even FAX machines are 200 dpi, but if they were 200 pixels total per square inch they would only have 14.14 pixels on each side from top to bottom! Let us just test that here for a moment-
There you go, 14 pixels, if a person wants to check it out, the "dpi" (or "ppi) concept is not the same as pixels per square inch. One letter of the alphabet alone could use up 14 or more pixels. Square inches are not the same as dpi.
sorry last guest you are mistaken, dpi stands for dot-pixel-inches and is the SI unit for splungeness in color printing
I guess people forget about the IBM 22 inch 3840x2400 LCD monitor from like 2003(?) that is over 600ppi. We did this nearly ten years ago (of course it was probably 20k to buy, now like $350). Why can't we see just 2560x1600 or x1440 monitors with 120hz... bah.. oh well.
You're gonna want that PPI when you upgrade your 'iContact Lenses'.
I missed that before..... DPI stands for Dots Per Inch. :/

OCEANA, W.Va. - It's a tale of two cities.
In Oceana, hardworking, God-fearing people try to make ends meet with what they have. As in many West Virginia coal mining communities, production in Wyoming County isn't what it used to be. But there is hope.
In Oxyana, drugs have precipitated the slow decay of a small, struggling town. There are drugs. There are prostitutes. There are dead bodies in pools. There's the inevitable sense that nothing can stop the runaway train that is prescription pill abuse.
Both are true. Both are false.
Critics herald a documentary film chronicling the worst in this isolated town as a gritty look at a larger problem. Residents decry a film most haven't seen as the parachuting cheap shot all too familiar to West Virginians.
Both are right. Both are wrong.
There is a common thread between the perceptions and realities of the town: There are problems. Residents hope a town hall meeting, outreach programs and awareness will help the county find solutions. It won't be easy.
Related: Oceana officials admit drugs a problem, seek solutions.
Film and reception
Last summer, documentary filmmaker Sean Dunne came to Oceana for a project. He had received more than $50,000 through the crowd-funding website Kickstarter to look at the town's problem with a highly addictive prescription painkiller called OxyContin.
He called the resulting product "Oxyana," a nickname he had heard for the largest town in Wyoming County. The film earned a spot at the Tribeca Film Festival in Brooklyn, N.Y. The Wall Street Journal said the film was "fascinating in its raw honesty."
Dunne, through a spokesperson, declined several requests for an interview or copy of the film. The spokesperson said he's working on another project while trying to get a distribution deal for "Oxyana." Without such a deal in place, most Oceana residents have seen only trailers or teasers of the film.
In the trailer, one man who says he is 23 years old claims half of the people in his high school graduating class are dead. Another man says he has seen children as young as 8 "shooting up dope," and viewers see a small child wearing nothing but a diaper grabbing a wire fence.
On the film's website, Dunne calls the town beautiful and full of honest, welcoming people. In other descriptions on the website, Oceana is called a "nightmarish dystopia" in the "valley of Death" that sits in "one of God's blindspots."
More than half the residents are addicts, it says. It equates life in the town of roughly 1,400 people "to the world of a medieval plague." The town's story of losing hope is a "nearly Biblical narrative of American forsakenness."
Some people who say they are Oceana residents on social media say they're happy about the film. They say they hope it brings attention that spurs change.
Many Oceana residents don't feel the same and don't even like to use Dunne's name.
"They weren't looking to talk to me really; they weren't looking to talk to the dentist or the doctors and the preachers," said small business owner Stephen Anderson.
"They were looking for the most horrible-looking creatures they could find down here to pimp that trailer out so they could get some money to shoot what they wanted to shoot."
Anderson, 42, is an Oceana native who returned home after years on the road as a golf pro. In 2007 he started a business giving ATV tours of the Hatfield-McCoy trails. He said he gave Dunne and his crew a tour of the mountains. He took them to a local vantage point to catch a sunset.
He said they told him they wanted to capture the natural beauty of the area along with its problems. That didn't prove true in the trailer Anderson saw. He thinks the film will exaggerate the problem and focus on exceptions to the norm.
Gritty but true?
Local dentist Michael Moore appears in tears in the trailer. He says the town has a problem but he loves the people and place too much to leave.

Renal coloboma syndrome
Other Names for this Disease
- Coloboma of optic nerve with renal disease
- Optic coloboma, vesicoureteral reflux, and renal anomalies
- Optic nerve coloboma with renal disease
- Papillorenal syndrome
See Disclaimer regarding information on this site. Some links on this page may take you to organizations outside of the National Institutes of Health.
Renal coloboma syndrome is a rare condition that affects kidney and eye development. It is characterized by small underdeveloped kidneys, malformation of the optic nerve, and sometimes a hole (coloboma) in the retina. People with renal coloboma syndrome may progress to end stage kidney disease and some people experience vision loss. Less common symptoms include vesicoureteral reflux, multiple kidney cysts, loose joints, and mild hearing loss.[1] The syndrome has an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance and can be caused by mutations in the PAX2 gene. In about half of cases, the underlying cause can not be determined.[1]

The importance of registry cleaning
In : Registry Cleaners, Posted by admin on Jan.01, 2013
Cleaning the registry of your computer is not something to be taken lightly. A mistake while performing this task could cause some very important files from your computer to be deleted. When that happens you might not be able to use your computer at all. So why should you still bother to clean the registry? Is it worth the trouble and the potential problems that might happen?
What's a Registry?
The Windows registry is a database on your computer where Windows stores settings. All the applications that are installed in your computer also stores setting there. This database can become outdated after some time. Applications that have been removed and uninstalled from the computer might still retain a few bits of data there. As you can imagine, this database can pretty soon acquire a great deal of information within it. It can have hundreds of thousands of entries and not all of those are needed.
The Importance of Registry Cleaning
These outdated bits of data could sometimes cause your computer to go slow and it would be a good thing to have all of those removed from the registry. That is what a registry cleaner would do. It would go through all of the data inside the registry and offer to remove those that are outdated. After the process, your computer is supposed to run more smoothly.
The problem is the fact that the cleaner might remove data that is still vital to run the computer or a particular application. This problem could stem from the fact that there are so many entries in the registry that it would have to go through each and every one of those.
While cleaning the registry of your computer has some undeniable benefits, the catch is that the improvement in your computer's performance by removing a few kilobytes of data is imperceptible. You can't really notice the improvement. The claim from ads on the internet that cleaning your computer's registry will make it work like new is simply unfounded.
If you want to try a registry cleaner, it is better that you should just use the ones that are free and available online. The ones that you have to pay for are actually more risky since they are more likely to delete something that is important and vital in the function of your computer. You can save money and stay safe by using a free registry software that is currently available.

text: okay....So I have been dating my boyfriend for 2.5 years and he is 45 years old. He's a home owner and has 3 children 2 children live with him ages 18 and 16(boys). Now when we met he knew he had things to fix in his home but since then the only thing he has done is put mini blinds up yo his bedroom windows. He needs a total gut job to the bathroom and kitchen and cosmetic repairs to the rest of the house. The house is on the smaller scale so I keep telling him it won't cost that much. Now I have 3 children of my own 2 girls and the youngest a boy 15,14, and 10. I live in a nice sized apartment so when he comes up he brings the boys bc he can't trust them home alone over night. Now he sees how I live and how my place can accomodate him and the boys so why won't he do the same so that my kids can come to his place. To date my kids have not spent the night over there due to the issues of the home and may have been there about 2x in 2.5 yrs. I tried to buy him a toilet and floor tiles for his birthday in the past and he said no bc thats a gift everyone can use! Now we see each other every weekend and we go out with the kids and spend money so I KNOW HE HAS MONEY SO WHY WON'T HE FIX THE HOUSE UP TO ACCOMODATE US SO WE CAN COME DOWN THERE. WE LIVE ABOUT 45 MIN AWAY FROM EACH OTHER SO THIS IS WHY HE COMES UP WITH THE BOYS ON THE WEEKENDS. we discussed marriage and living together but he has a city job and can't move out of the city and I refuse to bring my kids into the city(Philly). So until this is ironed out he has to do something with his home. Isn't this a long time to keep hearing ima fix it?

GTL Bro
Why is it so dark and discolored? I don't care how many abs you have, if it looks like you're peering into an alligator's asshole I don't think anyone finds that sexy. Now granted I have a total of 0 abs, but I think I speak for the masses here.
GTL Bro, -
Just a thought, I took my girlfriend to Walmart last week and she got to ride a scooter, she has a broken ankle. Maybe this guy has an injury, seems possible as he looks like an active dude, and those are his abs, look at his arms, the guy is fit.. I think the photo is just a little bit poking fun that someone is riding the cart that isnt 500 lbs.
EW! That HAS to be fake! There's no way that anyone has a 4 pack with gaps that huge between their abs.. It's so weird and oddly dark for a white man. I'm sure it's all fake tan and maybe some weird halloween costume..and what's with the scooter? If you're that handicap I doubt you can do 10 billion situps and get spray tans as dark as that nasty tanorexic woman. UGH
The sad thing is those are real. I see him come in all the time, I think this was probably taken when he broke his foot. (Something about a weight dropping on it). He is one of the more interesting creatures that walk the aisles at night, always good for a laugh. (just don't start off the 'roid rage)
Impossible to have abs with a beer belly underneath; and those aren't naturally shaped abs positioned in the right places anyway; and he wouldn't be able to look that cut and be fat elsewhere (i.e. his belly, face and arms) – body fat percentage would need to be much lower.
If not a costume-type fake (which I think it is) they are probably implants. While these types of surgeries are much less common among men than women they do exist. I've seen them mostly on men in the entertainment industry, but no doubt more men will start to do these surgeries. Yech.
Maybe some of you don't know what it looks like to be fit. If you know the fitness world, those are real abs, your lower abs aren't going to show when you are sitting, the side that someone called muffin tops, are called obliques. People who compete in bodybuilding get spray tanning. He fits the bill for all of these. Stop being jealous, get off the computer, and go to the gym.

So far we have tried some easy bolt ons like a manifold spacer, headers, high flow cats and exhaust on our 350Z all with good results. Naturally at this point it is time to change camshafts to get more bolt on power out of our VQ35DE engine. One thing that discourages many people from going this route is that changing cams on a VQ engine is quite a big job. Having two banks of cylinders and 4 cams is a lot of the reason. It's not super hard technically but it requires at least a couple days of wrenching and some care has to be taken to avoid problems.
Time consuming or not, camshafts are the next logical progression in the evolution of Project 350Z so we asked our friends at Jim Wolf Technology or JWT to provide us with some of their excellent C2 cams. We chose the C2 because they were probably the biggest practical camshafts that would work in the stock bottom end engine.
In looking for more low hanging horsepower fruit for Project 350Z, we decided to try an intake manifold plenum spacer from MotorDyne Engineering. The 350Z's VQ35DE engine has a very thin intake manifold plenum that slopes toward the front of the engine to clear the low hood line. Although this is good for styling, the engine would prefer more plenum volume and the flow to the front most cylinders is somewhat choked off due to the low overhanging plenum wall.

Toyo has been a staple in the R-compound world ever since it introduced the RA1. Until now, they didn't offer a true DOT dry weather track tire. With the Proxes RR, Toyo makes a run at this hotly contested field. We tested a set to find out if they succeeded.

It only takes a short glance at any car I've ever owned (or any house, or my closet…) to realize I'm the wrong person for this third step on Project Silvia's Girlfriend. Nevertheless, Sarah wanted a car that was up to her borderline obsessive standards of cleanliness and perfection, so I had to do my best to at least look like I was trying to achieve that. I've seen lots of pretty cars before, and I have a reasonable theoretical grasp on how they got that way, so I considered myself up to the task… at least at the beginning.
In the past installments of Project 350Z, we took a look at getting the car's suspension and brakes up to snuff. With the car handling and stopping well, we turned our focus to freeing up some more power. Since the car is mostly a budget track day beater, we decided against forced induction options for now because making a high power forced induction motor reliable under continual hot lapping conditions is a somewhat expensive proposition.
To keep a decent budget balance, we decided to focus on some good bolt on's to see what we could get from our 350Z. For our first step we decided to free up the exhaust side of things with headers and an exhaust from DC Sports and free flow cats from Berk Technology.
Seems like this would be a re-hash of Project Silvia's suspension, doesn't it? Turns out turning a tight budget into a civilized daily driver that can play track warrior without a single setup adjustment requires a whole different setup.
This S13 project set out to do something that has never been done before. Build a civilized, mature, daily-drivable, air conditioned, totally-under-the-radar S13 that can still raise hell at track days.

In this installment of Project 240SX LSR, we'll follow Nick Hunter of 5523 Motorsports as he completes the build of our record breaking engine dubbed the SR15VET 20V. Read on for more on our de-stroked SR15VET, the VVL head swap, and the completion of our engine.
In our last story, we covered the basic design of our land speed record breaking engine we've dubbed the SR15VET 20V. This time around, we'll take a deep look inside the engine and detail its build with none other than our resident Nissan guru, Nick Hunter of 5523 Motorsports.
by Chuck Johnson In the last three years, it seems that I've said it over a thousand times. When it comes to land speed racing, take most everything you know about racing and throw it away. There are so many generally accepted practices in motorsports and preconceived notions about racing that just don't apply when it comes to land speed racing. In fact, much of the time these common practices are the polar opposite of the practices standard to that of building a car for Bonneville. Where most racers would consider changes in displacement only in one direction (larger), the land speed racer will do whatever it takes to set a land speed record even if it means decreasing an engine's displacement. Why did we choose this route? Read on to find out!

Oxon Hill police shooting injures one
A Prince George's County Police officer has been placed on administrative leave following the shooting of a person, allegedly high on PCP, who threatened to kill the officer in Oxon Hill.
Police spokesperson Cpl. Larry Johnson says officers responded to the 5000 block of Barnaby Lane at about 10:22 p.m. Sunday for a report of a suspicious person in the area. Upon arrival, they found a male who was bloody.
Johnson says the suspect became combative as medical personnel tried to help him. He says an officer tasered the suspect, but it had no effect on the him. The suspect pulled the taser prongs from his body, then charged at the officer while saying that "he was going to kill him." The officer shot the suspect one time.
The suspect was taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Two officers also suffered minor injuries.
Johnson says the officer who shot the suspect will remain on paid leave pending the outcome of an investigation.
