"Being a member of crew on a ferry can be stressful at the best of times," he explained.

Pours a deep brown with lighter brown highlights when held up to the light. Nice white head that settles to a cap which covers the entire beer.
Nice caramel aroma, lots of sweetness with a lot of sweet fruits. A little nutty but dominated by caramel.
Taste follows suit with the nose with the caramel dominating and a bit of a nutty flavor in the after taste. There is a detectable alcohol heat but it is not overpowering by any means. Just lets you know that the alcohol is there.
Body is a little thin and the carbonation is a little high for the sweetness of the beer.
Overall this is a pretty good beer, I've had better examples but this one is pleasant and even a little alt like.

Half pint from JDW real ale festival. Dark amber colour, clear, one finger head, faded fast, kept tiny amount of lacing. Aroma was malt, caramel, rasperry with notes of Hallertau hop. Tasted brown suger, caramel, sweet rasperry, alcohol burns at the finish. Syrupy texture, minimal carbonation, booze gave it a coarse edge. Overall decent Bo(c)k but there are better examples around.

|Buckeyes take on Hoosiers and history on Saturday
|Friday, November 22, 2013 9:08 PM
By RUSTY MILLER
Associated Press
COLUMBUS — Hoosiers and history are on the checklist for No. 4 Ohio State this Saturday.
The Buckeyes carry a 22-game winning streak into their one-sided series against Indiana — the longest active major-college streak.
On top of that, however, if the Buckeyes win they'll eclipse the school record set by the 1967-69 Ohio State teams.
That accomplishment comes only if they take care of business, however.
"Right now, we're just focusing on beating Indiana," center Corey Linsley said. "Because Indiana doesn't really care about our winning streak."
Even coach Urban Meyer, who runs screaming from just about anything other than the X's and O's of the next game, says it would be an impressive accomplishment.
"Any time a player plays at a place like Ohio State and you can make a name for yourself or a dent in this great tradition, that is certainly worth being recognized," Meyer added.
The Buckeyes (10-0, 6-0) can also clinch a division title and a spot in the Big Ten championship game.
Here are five things to watch for in the game:
GET YOUR POINTS HERE: Ohio State won last year's matchup, 52-49. This year, the two offenses may be even better — they're combining for more than 1,000 yards per game. Plus, the defenses may be worse.
"Defensively, it's a couple teams that have given up some points," Indiana coach Kevin Wilson said.
Don't be shocked if 40 points are scored — by the end of the first quarter.
FAILING HISTORY: The Buckeyes have made it an almost annual occurrence to beat the Hoosiers. Not only are they a 32-point favorite this time around but they've won the last 17 meetings with Indiana.
Amazingly, that's still not their longest streak in the series. The Buckeyes did not lose to the Hoosiers from 1952 to 1986, going 31-0-1 and winning the last 23 in that span.
MOVING ON UP: Ohio State is third in the BCS rankings and needs to impress voters and the computers over its final two games plus a potential date with Michigan State in the Big Ten title game.
Meyer is angry with himself that he's been distracted by all of the BCS talk and that in turn his players have been distracted by it.
"When I started getting asked questions about the BCS, (I should have just said), 'Move on'," Meyer said. "Because (the players) watch me and I'm saying, 'Don't pay attention to it' and I'm paying attention to it. Then it's a mixed message. But the best thing they can do is just play."
CLOSING STRONG: The Hoosiers (4-6, 2-4) need to win their final two games — they finish up at home against archrival Purdue on Nov. 30 — to be bowl-eligible.
If they were to accomplish that, it would be Indiana's first bowl trip since the 2007 Insight Bowl and only the second since 1993. But it'll take a huge upset, first.
"With two weeks to go, (we still have a) chance for a bowl opportunity," Wilson said. "Our goal is always constant improvement. I just met with our leaders, our seniors. I need their best two weeks. We need to get better on offense from a week ago. We've got a great challenge this week and we have to bring every phase of our defense along."
SENIOR LIVING: Ohio State bids a fond adieu to 18 seniors, along with redshirt junior CB Bradley Roby who has already announced he's giving up his final season of eligibility to jump into the NFL draft.
"It's been a great ride," said OL Jack Mewhort, who was on a 2011 team that went 6-7 and then experienced the other extreme by not losing since. "I owe everything, I owe who I am to this university and this program. It's going to mean a lot to me running out for my last time."
BUCKEYES BUZZ: President John F. Kennedy's assassination shocked the nation and left millions grieving on this weekend in 1963.
Unlike the NFL, which played its regular schedule as if nothing had happened two days after the young president's murder, college football reacted differently.
Ohio State had lost its previous two games, both at home, heading into the season-finale at archrival Michigan on Nov. 23. The Buckeyes took buses headed north to their hotel in Ypsilanti, Mich., on Friday the 22nd, according to Ohio State football historian Jack Park in his book, "The Official Ohio State Football Encyclopedia."
Word quickly spread about the tragedy unfolding in Dallas.
The Buckeyes spent the night at their hotel, preparing to play a game the next day. While the team was traveling to Michigan Stadium at 10 a.m. on Saturday morning, however, officials announced that the game would be postponed for one week.
The American people — and college football — were in mourning.
Illinois was set to play at Michigan State for the Big Ten championship that Saturday but the game was moved back to the following Thursday, Thanksgiving Day.
Ohio State returned to Columbus and repeated its trip a week after originally scheduled.
The game was played before a crowd of just 36,424 — Michigan's smallest crowd in 20 years and the fewest fans to see a Wolverines home game since the opening of the stadium in 1927. The sparse turnout may have been due to fans who remained traumatized by the events of the preceding week but also because neither team was having a vintage year. The Wolverines came into the game just 3-3-2 (2-2-2 in the conference), while Ohio State was 4-3-1 (3-1-1).
Michigan took a quick 10-0 lead but just before halftime Buckeyes QB Don Unverferth tossed a 35-yard touchdown pass to future NFL Hall-of-Famer Paul Warfield. Midway through the fourth quarter, Unverferth rolled out and skirted left end on a 5-yard touchdown run.
The Buckeyes led 14-10 when Michigan drove to the Ohio State 6 with under 2 minutes remaining but the drive stalled there and coach Woody Hayes' team captured their fourth straight win over the Wolverines.
SAYING GOODBYE: Eighteen seniors will be playing their final home game on Saturday.
They are Linsley, Roby, S C.J. Barnett, K Drew Basil, OG Ivon Blackmon, S Corey Brown, WR Corey Brown, S Christian Bryant, WR Chris Fields, CB Adam Griffin, QB Kenny Guiton, RB Jordan Hall, OG Marcus Hall, RB Carlos Hyde, LS George Makridis, OT Jack Mewhort, OG Andrew Norwell and S Jamie Wood.
Basil, Corey "Philly" Brown, Bryant, Hyde and Norwell are true seniors. The rest have spent at least one year as a redshirt.
THEY CALL IT A STREAK: Of course, Ohio State can lock up the longest winning streak at the school with a victory against Indiana on Saturday (3:30 p.m., ABC).
Should the Buckeyes win, it would also be the fifth-longest streak in Big Ten history and the longest by a conference team in more than 40 years.
Also, Meyer's 22 straight victories with the Buckeyes are the fifth-most by a coach to begin his tenure at a school, behind Pop Warner's 30 at Pittsburgh, Fielding Yost's 29 at Michigan, Walter Camp's 28 at Yale and Larry Coker's 24 at Miami.
LOOKING AT IT THE OTHER WAY: The only way the Buckeyes would not play in the Big Ten championship game as the Leaders Division champion is if they lose their final two games while Wisconsin wins twice.
The Buckeyes are a 32-point favorite over Indiana and will likely be favored again at Michigan next week.
Wisconsin plays at Minnesota before hosting Penn State.
Three teams remain in the running in the Legends Division, although Michigan State is in the driver's seat. All the Spartans have to do is win one of their next two games to seal the deal and meet Ohio State on Dec. 7 at 8 p.m. in Indianapolis.

Best Rhubarb Pie Recipe
MY MOTHER always made Rhubarb Custard Pie with the first rhubarb picked. It's one of my earliest memories of a favorite treat, so I feel lucky to have this recipe. Mother was famous for her gorgeous pies. Unfortunately, she didn't write down most of her recipes...just "a handful of this" and "a dab of that" until it feels "just right" guided her creations. -Dolly Piper, Racine, Wisconsin
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 1/4 cup cold water
- 3 to 4 cups diced fresh or frozen rhubarb, thawed and drained
- 1-1/2 cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle with water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and toss lightly with a fork until the dough forms a ball.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to fit a 9-in. pie plate. Transfer pastry to pie plate. Trim pastry to 1/2 in. beyond edge of pie plate; flute edges. Spoon rhubarb into pie shell.
- In a small bowl, beat the sugar, eggs, cornstarch and nutmeg. Pour over rhubarb. Bake at 375° for 45 minutes or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Yield: 6-8 servings.
Editor's Note: If using frozen rhubarb, measure rhubarb while still frozen, then thaw completely. Drain in a colander, but do not press liquid out.

Would you consider flash with high speed synch, and a better beamer? This is a difficult scenario indeed.
You could get lower to the ground and use the sky as a giant White seamless. I've used that many times before.
With flat light I sometimes use split toning in LR4. On your pic I gave highlights a yellow cast and shadows a blue cast. I also cranked the clarity slider up to 70, darkened the sky and added a blue cast, turned down the green and yellow channels and added some vignetting. It probably took 5 min. Clearly all these things can be done with the software you have but maybe not as quickly.

Good evening everyone.
I have arrived at the stadium and I'm getting settled into my seat in the press box. It was an easy drive in since I got here so early. And the best part of the drive in was this guy:
There are a few players on the field warming up right now. I don't see Alex Smith out there throwing balls around so I'm wondering if he might be sitting tonight. Thomas Gafford, however, is on the field working on some long snaps. (Also: The only long snapper on the team!)
It is hot, hot, hot out here. Just brutal walking into the stadium on that hot pavement. Stay hydrated out there, tailgaters.

NEW ORLEANS - Sharon Martin is a well known and well respected jazz singer in New Orleans, but who knew she could transform herself into one of the greatest jazz singers of all time - Billie Holiday.
"Lady Day at Emerson's Bar and Grill" is a theatrical presentation on the latter years of the tragic singer's life.
Because it received such rave reviews in May, the show has been extended through the month of June.
The star of the show, Martin, and the director, Tommye Myrick, were in the studio to tell us more about the show.
You can hear Martin's tribute to Holiday every Friday in June, and the Friday, Saturday and Sunday of Essence Fest, at the JuJu Bag Cafe' at 5363 Franklin Ave. The show starts at 8pm. For reservations, call 872-0969.
We were lucky to hear a sampling of the production in the studio on Monday.

Three Florida men face multiple charges after they led Lowndes County Sheriff's deputies on a high speed chase.
Steven Toussant, Patrick Noel, and a third man who is still recovering in the hospital were stopped THurday around 4:15 p.m. on I-75 for a window tint violation.
Deputies say Toussant pulled over then sped off, got off the interstate at exit 22, and collided head-on with another car on Highway 41. Then flipped several times before landing in a ditch.
Officials say they ran because that third man had warrants out for his arrest in Florida and because they had multiple stolen credit cards and drivers licenses in the car.
"We're still investigating the background of the other two potentially that they're wanted as well. But we think the credit cards was the main motivator for them fleeing," said Lt. Stryde Jones, Lowndes County Sheriff's Office.
Toussant and Noel are charged with financial transaction card theft. Toussant faces multiple other charges including fleeing and driving under the influence.
Deputies won't release the third man's name until he's released from the hospital and they arrest him.

Three men traveling through Lowndes County are in trouble with the sheriff after they led deputies on a high speed chase Thursday.
The driver who took off when he saw the blue lights said he ran because one of the men in the car had a Florida warrant.
He flew off the Interstate and then onto Highway 41, where he struck another car head-on. Thankfully, the driver of the other car was not badly hurt, but his car was totaled.
Lowndes Co. Sheriff Chris Prine has released the following;
On Thursday afternoon, around 4:15 a deputy assigned to the Interstate Criminal Enforcement unit of the Sheriff's Office observed a Toyota Camry traveling north on Interstate 75 with window tint clearly in excess of the allowed limits.
The deputy performed a traffic stop near the 15 mile marker and as the deputy began to approach the vehicle, the vehicle sped away leading to a chase north on the interstate.
The vehicle exited the interstate at exit 22 and proceeded toward Valdosta and after a couple of turns eventually turned onto Old U.S. Highway 41 North where they struck another vehicle head-on.
The fleeing vehicle left the roadway and flipped several times. The three {3} occupants of the vehicle, who were not seat belted, were injured and were transported to South Georgia Medical Center for injuries sustained in the crash.
The driver of the other vehicle, which was struck, had minor injuries but was not transported for treatment. His vehicle sustained extensive damage.
During investigation, it was learned that the driver had fled because one of the parties in the vehicle was being sought for arrest warrants in Florida. Deputies also located a number of driver license and credit cards that were not issued to any of the persons in the vehicle. Investigators confirmed that the items had been stolen from various locations in south Florida.
Additional investigation is being conducted and the rightful owners are being contacted. Two of the occupants were released from the hospital and were transported to the Lowndes County Jail. The third person was hospitalized for additional treatment of his injuries.
The two {2} in jail will appear for an arraignment hearing in the Lowndes County Magistrate Court today where a bond will be considered. Additional charges on the trio may be forthcoming as this investigation progresses.
Steven Toussant, 23, from Pompano Beach, Florida is charged with: Fleeing and attempting to elude Financial transaction card theft Driving with a suspended license Driving under the influence Weaving over the roadway Failure to wear a seatbelt
Patrick Noel, 26, of Wilton Manor, Florida is charged with: Financial transaction card theft Failure to wear a seatbelt
The third person, who is being sought by Florida authorities, is not identified because he has not yet been arrested.
Upon his release from the hospital he will be arrested and an update to this release provided.

Health Law
Chartering Plane to Take Patient Home Could Cost Hospital Big Bucks
Posted Jul 23, 2009 1:06 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
During the three years he lived at a Florida hospital after suffering a severe brain injury in an automobile accident, Luis Jimenez racked up a $1.5 million medical bill.
But now the uninsured illegal immigrant could potentially cost Martin Memorial Medical Center a lot more. In closing arguments today in a state-court false imprisonment case, his counsel sought a jury verdict "well into the six figures" for his alleged false imprisonment and the lifetime costs of his care, according to the TC Palm.
Although the hospital obtained a court order before chartering a plane to take Jimenez home to Guatemala in 2003, it did so without notifying his relatives and against the objections of his legal guardian, reports the Associated Press. He is now cared for by his 73-year-old mother in her one-room home.
The hospital contends it followed Jimenez' wishes in sending him home. His counsel says the medical center paid for the $30,000 chartered flight to stop the meter on his medical care costs and circumvent what would otherwise have been a lengthy appellate process, the AP recounts.
Also at issue in the case is whether a hospital and state court should have, in essence, the power to deport an immigrant, which ordinarily is exercised by the federal government.
The case is being watched throughout the country by those with an interest in health law, the news agency reports, and "regardless of the decision, it will heighten the awareness of hospitals nationwide," says Steve Larson of the University of Pennsylvania's School of Medicine.
"The next time they debate shipping a patient overseas, they're going to have to do their homework," he says, "because it's going to leave them open to a lot of legal challenges and questions."

Found these at a thrift store several years ago for $30 when retail at the time was $250, as per internet at the time. I would not have paid the retail price but for $30 they've been fabulous.
- Lightweight

- Not for deep snow
Found these at a thrift store several years ago for $30 when retail at the time was $250, as per internet at the time. I would not have paid the retail price but for $30 they've been fabulous. Lighter weight by far than my real snowshoes, my Browning rawhide and wood beavertails, my go-to shoes for deep snow.
The Discovery's are not good in deep snow. I'm a 150 lb. woman, 5'8" tall. The Discovery's are 27". The Discovery's sink way further down into deep soft snow and snow builds up on the decking so I have to tip my foot every step to dump it off. The solid decking also provides a spot for my Labrador Retriever's feet to land, something he can't do on the tail of my beavertails, and he causes me to face plant — all part of the fun. :)
I received these snowshoes as a gift, For an inexpensive…
Price Paid: $75
I received these snowshoes as a gift, For an inexpensive snowshoe they can keep up with the best of them in all conditions. I have trekked miles and climbed mountains and they have never let me down. I cannot see myself needing more snowshoes for a long time.
Features: Non-anodized aircraft grade aluminum frame.
Price Paid: $135
Features: Non-anodized aircraft grade aluminum frame. Waterproof and durable maintenance free decking. Quickdraw bindings, recreational toe and heel crampons. 9"x27".
The best feature of these snowshoes is the quickdraw bindings. Just place your foot in the binding, pull on the two straps, and your toes are secured. The tricky part is trying to secure the heel strap while wearing gloves. It's not gonna happen. You might as well take your gloves off, and tighten the strap.
Walking around with a pack, I end up on the upper limit of these shoes. Going through powder and packed trails seem to be a breeze. Small hills are easily handled by these shoes, however do not take these shoes to go up steeper slopes. You will slip and fall, as the crampons are not aggressive enough to bite into the snow.
Getting out of the snowshoes is even easier than getting in. Reach down, pull the tips of the two ladder locks together, and pull up, away from your toe. Scoot the entire foot forward, and you're cleared of the heel strap.
Only things I don't like about the binding:
* Ice tends to form in the pocket created by the forward crampon (I suppose all of them do this), but in order to get it cleared you almost need to whack the things against a tree.
* They're not the lightest snowshoes in the world. 3.0 lbs a pair starts getting on my nerves after a while.
* The straps from the quickdraw system tend to "flop around" while I'm walking. It also starts grating on the nerves, particularly when you've been hiking for awhile.
* At 9 inches wide, your stride is severely affected. If you're looking to hike AND run with these... I'd suggest something else.

LONGVIEW, TX (KLTV) - For over twenty years, Bill Calhoun served in the U.S. Navy, traveling throughout the world in defense of our country.
Calhoun joined the Navy at the age of eighteen, soon after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Aboard the U.S.S. Salem, Calhoun laid highly explosive mines in South African harbors and then was sent into the Pacific theater of war.
In the South Pacific, Calhoun's boat laid submarine nets to protect the American Fleet.
In 1950, when the Korean War broke out, Calhoun was assigned to the U.S.S. Wasp off the coast of Korea as backup for American troops. Bill Calhoun retired from the Navy in 1961 and spent the next twenty years working at the Kelly Springfield plant in Tyler.

It's so easy with the new Fiskars® Duck® Edition scissors!
Jazz up your bake sale by using a variety of tools from Fiskars.
Create signs, tags, labels and packaging for your bake sale goods.
Use the Fiskars SureCut Deluxe Craft Paper Trimmer (12") and Micro-Tip Scissors (No. 5) to make simple food category signs. Print the food categories on cardstock and trim each to size with the SureCut Deluxe Craft Paper Trimmer (12"). Trim the ends of each banner with Micro-Tip Scissors. Mount a piece of patterned paper on cardstock and add the category banner on top of the rectangle. Glue a stick on the back of the sign.
To make a larger bake sale banner, use the Comfort Grip Rotary Cutter, 12 x 18 Cutting Mat and a 6 x 24.5 Acrylic Ruler. Measure and cut the banner design from a roll of paper with the rotary cutter, using the acrylic ruler as a guide. Cut out computer-generated lettering with the Micro-Tip Scissors and Fingertip Detail Knife; affix to the banner.
Create price tags with the XX-Large Lever Punch tag and Pop-Up Heart Punch. Embellish the tags with a dotted line stamp from the All Year Cheer Simple Stick Repositionable Rubber Stamp set.
Make toppers for snack bags by simply cutting a piece of paper the same width as the bag and folding it over the top of the bag. Attach the topper with a staple and add a heart price tag on top. Punch the hearts from cardstock with the Extra Large That's Amore Squeeze Punch. Add a decorative trim to the bottom of the topper with the Scalloped Sentiment Border Punch.
To showcase food products in bags, use the Scallop Paper Edger to cut paper bags to size. Place a plastic bag with your food product inside the smaller paper bag. Add a heart price tag made with the Extra Large That's Amore Squeeze Punch.
Using the Large That's Amore Squeeze Punch, create heart price stickers by punching the shapes from a sheet of self-adhesive labels.

Also, as you can clearly see from the picture, the music player is different. Is this just a skin, or is it due to some different software or something?

Temperatures dipped to one degree below zero in the Chicago area overnight for the first time this early in the winter season since Dec. 9, 1995.
Many people are going about their daily lives during this unseasonably cold weather, some bundled up more than others.
The REI store on Halsted Street has had plenty of business over the past few days.
Martin Mortimer, the Sales Manager at REI said, "We had a pretty big push of people looking for base layers, insulated layers, something for their face, balaclavas, warm gloves, hats, whatever we had."
Winter jackets have evolved now from big and puffy to sleek and toasty.
"This is the REI Chilly Parka. It's 700 fill power. Winter jackets range typically from 550 all the way to 800. The higher the number the thinner the jacket becomes and the warmer it becomes," Mortimer explained, showing off the parka.
A Columbia jacket featuring Omni heat technology on the inside, serves like an emergency blanket, Mortimer explained, because it reflects body heat back to the person.
And for ladies who want to keep the cute dresses on during the chilly weather, local boutique Akira offers fleece lined tights that are flying off the shelves.
Mayra Estrada, Akira Store Manager, shows off the tights saying, "We had completely sold out. We sell maybe about 10 pairs a day."
For those that think these items are just fashion statements, think again. A quick errand outside could hurt more than you think.
Dr. Suzet McKinney of the Chicago Department of Public Health Dep. Commissioner said, "You may not be able to immediately feel the impacts of the cold weather, but your body is responding before the connection is made to tell your brain that tells you, oh boy I'm cold."

Send your daughter or son off to university with money pre-loaded on their Campus Card – it's safe, secure, and practical. The UFV Campus Card is not only the official university ID, it's packed with services. It's a meal plan, library card, photocopy card, transportation card, gym membership, and campus debit card -- students can use it to buy their textbooks too!
Meal PlansParents and students can choose from a variety of meal plans to best meet individual needs. Each meal purchased using a meal plan saves 5% GST and is valid for the semester. Plans are available for students who live on or off campus. For more information on how to choose the best meal plan, consult the meal plan web page.
Cascade FundsCascade funds are flexible: students can use them to buy textbooks, food, or to do their laundry (if a student lives in residence). Cascade funds carry over from one semester to the next and can be topped up anytime.
The difference between the two funds: meal plans save tax and are valid for one semester while Cascade funds roll over each semester however taxes apply.
How can I add funds?Add funds to your son or daughter's Campus Card either in person or by calling the card office at 604.851.6363 (toll free 1-888-504-7441 ext. 6363).

Allen West, you the dumbest man walking around America today. You ugly inside,
your soul is tarnished. You are an embarassment to Blacks.—
Andre Leon Talley (@OfficialALT) November 21, 2012
André Leon Talley is the former American editor-at-large for Vogue magazine and a current contributing editor. When we last checked in with Talley, he was calling for progressives to boycott a Clint Eastwood film. Today he slithered further into the progressive gutter and joined the other foul-mouthed libs who attacked Rep. Allen West in racial terms when he conceded his House race.
Talley took to Twitter to tell his 128,000 followers that West, a decorated combat veteran, is the "dumbest man walking around America" and an "embarrassment to Blacks." No, wait, actually he called West an "embarassment to Blacks." That's right, he spelled "embarrassment" wrong while calling someone else dumb.
But he wasn't done. The repulsive Talley also tweeted that West's mother must be "ashamed" of his "Coon Minstrely Theatre."
Coon Minstrely Theatre!
If your mother is with you, she must be ashamed of you.
You barks were / are sad Allen West!—
Andre Leon Talley (@OfficialALT) November 21, 2012
Time and again, this is how conservative minorities are treated when they stray from the Left's ideological plantation. March in lockstep with the liberals or else!
If West parroted the Left's talking points and promoted crushing liberal policies that cripple all Americans, Talley would celebrate him as an American hero. Instead, he brands West as a race-traitor and insists race and politics should dictate politics.
Typical and despicable.

Many have noted the disconnect between the restrained strength of the recovery of the U.S. economy from recession and the elevation to near record levels of the U.S. stock markets. A sort of equal and opposite event may have been occurring in China. Chinese stocks have broken out of a severe downtrend: See LINK to interactive Bloomberg.com chart. Click on 5Y on the top right to see the scale of the collapse. Of course, there had been quite a boom preceding it, as this chart from Alsosprachanalyst blog shows:
The blogger wrote in the same post written on December 4 titled On the (absurdly) weak Chinese stock market (LINK):
Hong Kong/China investors have certainly learned in a hard way in the past two years that the rate of economic growth may have very little to do with stock market return. However, we, as everyone else, are amazed by the weakness of Chinese stock market. It was as if even bears were not bearish enough.
While we are very notably pessimistic on both Chinese economy and its stock market in the longer timeframe, we are at the same time constantly surprised the the failure of Chinese stock market to produce any respectable bounce. This comes as an even bigger surprise for optimists as everyone seems to be convinced (much more convinced than we are, obviously) that the Chinese economy has somehow bottomed, with incoming data improving. Shanghai Composite simply does not care, while the H-share counterparts are doing significantly better in the recent months, but still underperforming the developed market for the past 2 years or so.
This may have marked a meaningful, even if intermediate bottom. The above-linked Shanghai Composite Index in fact made its bottom on December 3 and closed today, Dec. 14, at 2151. Its one-year high was near 2440 at its high in late 2010 was around 3200. Even though China is similar to Japan in that it is a relatively resource-poor country with a rapidly-aging population, and thus might catch the "Japanese disease", 4% up-moves such as Chinese indices exhibited overnight off a bottom so severe that even a bearish analyst is floored by the extent of the price declines often are a harbinger of a strong vertical move upwards.
There is enthusiasm over a middling good monthly flash PMI survey (LINK) which showed:
Flash China Manufacturing PMI™ at 50.9 (50.5 in November). Fourteen-month high.
Flash China Manufacturing Output Index at 50.5 (51.3 in November). Two-month low.

When the late Marguerite Ross Barnett became Chancellor of the University of Missouri-St. Louis in 1986, she went to visit the CEO of a major corporation headquartered here. Whats your vision for UMSL? asked the CEO. To be a world-class university, said Chancellor Barnett. Whats wrong with just being good? was the executives reply.
Risking adequacy to seek excellence is all too rare in our region. We find it difficult to pay the price to be on top. Thats why we have been so fortunate to have Dr. Peter Raven leading the Missouri Botanical Garden for the past forty years. He transformed a pretty good garden into a world-class cultural and scientific institution, one of the three best on the globe along with the New York Botanical Garden and Kew Garden in London. Thats impressive company to keep.
Dr. Raven is also the regions preeminent scientist, an internationally acclaimed scholar. Long the home secretary for the National Academy of Science, he also received the National Medal of Science, the countrys top prize. He modeled world-class performance for the rest of us who do research.
Thanks, Peter, for showing St. Louis that there are higher steps on the ladder and that, with superb leadership, we can reach them.

When the news came out earlier in the week that Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick revealed he had broken two ribs in their loss to the Arizona Cardinals last week, it was unclear if Vick would play in Week 11. According to an AP report, everything is cleared up now: Vick will not play, and Vince Young will receive the start.
Vick didn't practice all week, and Eagles head coach Andy Reid said that he'd never played without practicing the week before, so this news wasn't exactly a shocker. Young took all the reps on Thursday, and considering how awful third-string Mike Kafka looked when filling in for Vick early in the season, that news doesn't exactly come as a huge surprise either.
For fantasy purposes, all Eagles look like a solid downgrade, especially WR Jeremy Maclin, who will also miss the Giants game. Perhaps only LeSean McCoy will not have a drop-off in production, but chances are there will be a few more linebackers and safeties in the box against him without the threat of Vick taking snaps.
