My husband, Dee Brausch, took this picture of the Albany papermill in July 2011. It closed down for good in December 2009. The white building, recovery boiler, in the picture was demolished in July 2012. This landmark identified Albany as the "armpit of the Wilamette Valley". I've lived in Albany all my life and remember that smell well. I think a new identity is in order for our town. I'm hopeful that the Albany carousel project will help form that new identity.

In both Ferguson, Missouri and the Gaza Strip, the use of excessive and unnecessary force by the police and the Israeli military have only served to heighten and exacerbate hostilities that will ultimately only be resolved when justice comes to both communities.
Since 1890, the U.S. has invaded or in some way militarily intervened in over 150 countries around the world.
Nevada cattle rancher Cliven Bundy may not be the "domestic terrorist" Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid called him, but with his refusal to pay grazing fees to the federal government for the privilege of feeding his cattle on public lands, he most assuredly is a "welfare rancher."
It sure didn't take long for the military-industrial complex boosters to begin their criticism of Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel's recently proposed plan to shrink the size of the army and marines and reduce the rate of growth in the Pentagon's budget.

15.g. explain how economies of scale and diseconomies of scale affect costs;
CFA Program Curriculum (2014), Volume 2, Page 125.
The short-run analysis relates costs to output for a specific size of plant. In the long-run, all resources used by the firm are variable.
For each plant size, there is a set of short-run, U-shaped costs curves for MC, AVC, and ATC. This diagram shows the ATC curves of three (of many) possible plant sizes - small, medium and large.
Using this information, firms can plan when in their blueprint stages the optimal plant size they should be relative to the output they want to produce. For example, if a firm wanted to produce more than Q1 units of output, it would make sense to build a large firm since costs per unit would be less than they would with a small or medium firm.
Long-Run Average Cost Curve
To explain this, imagine the output level Q2. Looking at the relevant costs on the vertical axis, the large firm is far cheaper per unit than both the small and medium sized firms.
Thus should a firm be planning for output in excess of Q1, a large firm should be built. For levels of output between Q0 and Q1, it would be cheaper per unit if the firm was of a medium size.
The long-run average total cost curve is indicated in black.
It shows the minimum average cost of producing each output level when the firm is free to choose among all possible plant sizes. It can best be thought of as a planning curve, because it reflects the expected per-unit cost of producing alternative rates of output while plants are still in the blueprint stage. No single plant size could produce the alternative output rtes at the costs indicated by the planning curve.
Since in reality, there are an infinite number of firm sizes:
Economies and Diseconomies of Scale
Economies of scale are reductions in the firm's per-unit costs that are associated with the use of large plants to produce a large volume of output. They are present over the initial range of outputs when the long-run ATC curve is falling. There are three reasons why economies of scale exist:
It is also possible to have constant unit costs as the plant size changes. This is known as constant returns to scale.
Economies and diseconomies of scale are long-run concepts. They relate to conditions of production when all factors are variable. In contrast, increase and diminishing returns are short-run concepts, applicable only when the firm has a fixed factor of production.
The downward sloping portion shows economies of scale. The horizontal portion shows constant returns to scale. The upward sloping portion shows diseconomies of scale.
Minimum efficient scale is the smallest quantity of output at which the long-run average cost reaches its lowest level. If the long-run average cost curve is U-shaped, the minimum point identifies the minimum efficient scale output level.

text: No joke! It actually happened! We were going to get our coats when we saw two of the dancers start to walk down the spiral staircase in front of us and then Adam popped his head over the top to tell them to 'bring some girls back'?! Anyway, we were in shock that we had just seen him so us and two random girls who had also witnessed this decided we would walk up the unguarded staircase to see what happened. So, as we got to the top Adam was there having a drink with about three other people and they seemed to be disgruntled that we had spotted him but Adam was happy to see us. I said I knew we were not supposed to be up there but we wanted to say hi and Adam asked if we had enojyed the show to which we of course responded 'yes'. Then Laura said that she couldn't believe that Camilla Grey was in his band and then Adam said that he too thought Camilla was amazing and asked Laura if she had heard 'Dreamer' as that is beautiful. He then said that he was glad we had enjoyed the show and we were politely asked to leave by his tour manager and informed that there would be no pictures. INSANE! He handled it very well and wasn't fazed at all. Lovely.

ProLike Butler, eventual Champion Kevan Moore's season began with a title at Columbus. Moore's ride is a late-model type altered, and it runs down in the 10-second zone. Pro is a class for cars running 9.00-13.99 that doesn't allow electronics. He wasn't able to post another final round showing during the season, but attended all of the events and went far enough in the elimination rounds to get the honors.
At VMP, the title in the division for the Pro category went to die-hard racing couple Laura and W.C. Glasscock. Laura used her "home-track advantage" and drove her show-quality '71 Dodge Challenger to victory over a solid field of competitors, beating Bill Bourguignon's '74 'Cuda for the event title with a 12.34 on a 12.32 dial-in.
Hemi Super StockOne of the most popular classes at the Classic Events series is Hemi Super Stock, and this year's champion was Don Edelstein from Addison, Illinois, whose '68 Dart shows as well as it goes. Edelstein was another eventual champion who won at Columbus. He also took the crown at Norwalk, with class honors both there and at VMP to round out the season. His nearest competitor going into that final race was Kevin Krejci, whose '68 'Cuda had taken home the honors at Hamilton, Ohio.
On an aside, fellow racer Larry Rife posted a runner-up to Don at Columbus. Rife's original Hemi Barracuda was totaled over Labor Day weekend when he had a nasty top-end accident at Bobby Roger's Mopar Southern Classic in Clay City, Kentucky, and Larry ended up in the hospital with some head trauma that he's still recovering from as of this writing.
Max Wedge ShootoutWhile his brother Dennis was busy winning the 2001 Best of Show trophy and prize with Joe Stentella's black four-speed Hemi Road Runner (more on that car next month; stay tuned), Allen Kohr was in hot pursuit of the crown in the Original Max Wedge Shootout division. Allen's machine is a magenta-hued '63 Dodge based out of Fredricksburg, Pennsylvania, and when the smoke cleared for the season, it came down to Kohr and veteran pilot Harley Day from Dellroy, Ohio, in a '64 Savoy. Kohr won in Kansas City and posted runner-up honors in Norwalk. However, he fell out in round one, opening the door for Day to make up lost ground. As it happened, Day went to the final before falling to Bill Krause's Dodge, but it wasn't enough to make up the difference, and Kohr took home the accolades. To his credit, Day posted a runner-up finish in Columbus as well.
SportsmanThe Sportsman racing division is for any car running 14.00 and up, and like Pro, is a no-electronics class. At Columbus, it was Lester Johnson who took home runner-up honors, and he would return to post a victory at VMP. Johnson's '68 Satellite is a four-door machine, but has enough motivation under the bonnet to run high-14-second passes.
However, the season title went to the man who lost to Johnson in that final, Gordon Stevens. Stevens' efforts, which included wins at Kansas City, Hamilton, and Norwalk, prior to the VMP race had given him an almost insurmountable points lead, with Johnson at his heels in Third. This very credible effort was accomplished by victories at his titles at Hamilton (which was a no-points deal due to using a buy-back in earlier rounds), Kansas City, and Norwalk. Gordon campaigns a '76 Dart Sport powered by a slant six and also won the Slant Six crown for the season as well.

Indianapolis, IN (Sports Network) - Chevrolet will replace engines in all 11 of its entries in the IndyCar series.
A problem was discovered during testing earlier this week at Sonoma and the decision comes just days prior to this week's race in Long Beach, California.
It will also force all teams to start with a penalty of 10 qualifying places because IndyCar has a rule prohibiting engine replacements before running 1,850 miles or if they sustain a failure during a race.
James Hinchcliffe's Chevy engine blew during the test session earlier this week and it was already announced that he would be penalized 10 spots because of the engine change.
Just two races have been run thus far on the circuit and both were won by Chevy drivers. Helio Castroneves captured the opener in Brazil and Will Power claimed the checkered flag in Alabama.

First off i've tried pretty much every facial cleansing product out there, i do product review for skin care so i get samples of just about everything at sephora, in the mail, from friends and so on. I've tried stuff ranging from 3 $ to 200$ and let me just say that this is the only thing i use on my skin along with a facial sponge. It cleans skin throughly and doesent dry or irritate your skin like a lot of other products. I gave it a 4 because of course it could be better but for the price its an awesome quality soap. I would not recommen spending your hard earn money on other cleansers bcs this does it all i use it along with the clinique moisturizing gel and my skin has never been better, i only brake out a bit around that time of the month.
This is the only soap that has actually cleared up my zits. (I get PMS breakouts still, but they are less severe. I know that no soap can truly combat hormones.) My face never feels tight after washing either. The soap itself has a scent, but it's pleasant and disappears after toweling off.

I have very dry, acne prone skin. I've always had acne since my teen's but after I had my daughter, it got worse. Especially the dry skin! I've tried scrubs, gel and liquid cleansers and every other product at the drug store. Nothing really worked and if it did, maybe for a week. Then I would break out horribly!
I read up on this and finally took the plunge. What did I have to lose? I didn't wash my face with anything before hand, I just used the cleansing bar. It took my make up off great and my skin felt so good afterwards. Like somebody mentioned in a review that although it helped moisturize their skin, they couldn't skip their moisturizer afterwards. That's how my skin was. The BIG difference was, I didn't have to use as much moisturizer! My skin soaked it up and felt wonderful! I woke up the next morning and my skin still felt moisturized. That's not something that happens with my extra dry skin! I'm in love with this stuff! I would recommend this to anyone with dry and acne prone skin!

After so many years of trying to find the "right" acne wash I finally found the best solution.... a bar of soap!?
I was skeptical at first. However, after using this bar on my face and body for two weeks I'm a believer! This is coming from a 22-year-old who hasn't left the house without makeup since middle school. My face has always been red and had a fair amount of acne. This bar has made 95% of my face and back acne disappear. I looked in the mirror today and was shocked. Please give it a try!
4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I don't know the difference between the normal gentle bar. It feels the same as the normal bar, and smells a bit different.
I like the way my skin feels cleaner after each use. It doesn't dry my skin and after each use I like to run my hand over my body and feel the smoothness. It's unlike other bars.
I used this with noticeable results after just ONE DAY! My face is smooth and all that's left is some scarring from the hellstorm that brewed there from the last two months. I know bacteria is just one of the causes of acne but it really just got rid of it all and it keeps getting better. Now looking for something to fade the scars!
The downside is, they test on animals and are not vegan as they do not strictly monitor and cannot give a "100% guarantee" that the ingredients they buy are "100% of non-animal origin." (via an inquiry email to Galderma.) Once it runs out I will not be buying again due to this. It does work wonders but based on this it's an absolute 'no' to buying again.
I will be honest and say I bought this out of sheer curiousity and cringe at the thought of anyone using bar soap to cleanse their skin ( as a skincare fanatic) however, I caved in, took the plunge, tried something new, AND fell in love. It was pretty instant for me. I'm used to using just cream cleansers and usually stick to Origins Mushroom Line, but at first use I knew it was going to be holy grail product. It smells clean but somewhat mild and not too fragrant. It is milky and rinses off wonderfully clean--I usually massage the milky bar into my skin to soothe it. It truly is a great product and I will repurchase it. It has made my skin become more balanced and my clogged pores...probably due to makeup use..are cleared up again. I used to extract my pores regularly and now even in a 3x mirror they look clean. Still have to get used to using soap on my face though, seems so taboo to me still.

I LOVE LOVE THIS! I had horrible acne on my entire face chin, forehead,cheeks... I started using this after I had gone through so many drugstore scrubs/washes, claiming to clear my acne but they only irritated it and did nothing to cure it..My aunt recommended it and It's the best thing ever! I do have oily skin (esp. in the summer I have extremely oily skin, which is when I began using this) and although It says its for dry sensitive skin, It works for me! I use it with my acne medication (clindamycin solution and retin A generic version and anitbacterial pills). I have one in my shower and near my sink.. It melts a whole lot faster in the shower but the one by my sink lasts months! I just place it in a soap dish that you can stick to the wall- got mine at walmart for a few dollars) and It lasts and stays clean.. The bars also come in packs of four our five for like $15? it's worth it!
P.S if you are struggling with acne GO TO THE DERMATOLOGIST it really helps, I spent probably 100's of dollars looking for the perfect face wash, toner, moisturizer when it was all a waste! Go to the professionals, Its worth it. my clindamycin solution is only $35, retin A generic is only $40 at most and the pills are $4! all at walmart! about $80 total for lasting results!

Woo-freaking-hoo! This product rocks. I have been struggling to get my skin healthy, cleared up, and back to normal after a bad allergic reaction I had, and this product did it. It cleared up the acne I had coming in and really balanced/calmed my skin without overdrying it or making it too greasy. I have been using this product with the Cetaphil facial moisturizer during the day and the moisturizing lotion at night. So far, this wash is helping to control my oil production when using the moisturizers because using them previously with the gentle cleansing bar made my skin too oily and clogged my pores. However, would not suggest this for those with dry skin as I could see how it would be overdrying. I do know that it's working great on combo/sensitive for now though! Overall, this is magic in a cheap $3 bar and has visibly improved the look of my irritated/broken out skin overnight.

I have the most annoying skin. Greasy with large pores (read: Italian!), yet dryer than sheet rock the second I wash it. At 32, I have aged very well - my skin is still pretty plump and I have very few deep wrinkles - but the dryness produced by most cleansers ages me 10 years. To top it off, I am prone to small, rash-like pimples on my forehead and chin, and have a generally uneven texture as a result. I have tried pretty much every single cleanser out there...department store brands, organic, home made, desperate-ebay-orders-from-japan, made for acne, made for oily, made for dry, made for sensitive, and (literally) every single option available in drug stores/Wal-Mart. I've spent as little as $3 and as much as $100. Nothing worked. Either I broke out even worse or my skin dried up so much it looked like I took a cheese grater to it. I finally, out of desperation, decided to try the antibacterial Cetaphyl bar...I figured I had nothing to lose, especially for $3. I had heard good things about triclosan on my particular kind of acne, but to be honest, I wasn't expecting it to work too well...nothing ever did, and an experiment with the liquid Cetaphyl for oily skin a few years back fried my face. Boy, was I surprised. THIS IS THE BEST!!! This bar produces a surprisingly creamy foam but leaves no residue. I find that if I use it in the hot shower, my skin does dry a bit, but if I use it at the sink, it leaves my skin supple and healthier looking than it has been since my teens. My breakouts have diminished significantly, and the tone and texture of my skin overall is 100% improved. I have been using it every night (in the morning I just swipe with a warm washcloth...i mean, let's face it, there's really no need to scrub your face the second you crawl out of bed as long as you washed it the night before...unless you sleep outside, that is) for two months with consistently amazing results. The scent may be strong for some, but I like it - very clean, though perhaps too strong for super sensitive skin types. I swear, if you have finicky skin that you can never get balanced for more than a few days at a time, try this stuff. Combined with the Equate brand versions of classic Oil of Olay and lots of water - nothing else - my skin is completely transformed. And having such a simple skin care routine is pretty great too : ) PS - I do not wear foundation of any kind (they all feel so gross), so I can't comment on whether or not this is effective at makeup removal).

I wish I could afford these suckers with the budget my school gives us for laptops. We are using Dell Latitude 2100's and 2110 netbooks which are terrible. Thankfully we have full accidental damage warranties on the machines which is the only reason why we can use such a flimsy machine.
Now if only there was a comparison to those Panasonic ToughBooks.
Those things have been saving lives before these babies were invented.
That's for sure the Panasonic ToughBooks seem like they have been around forever.
I can only imagine certain industries would require such a rugged laptop for use like mining or disaster response personnel. I wonder if they offer discounts to the groups that really need them to save lives and protect their owns. Any technology that can save a live is top notch in my book.
I was skimming the highlighted features and came across this, before fully digesting the rest of the details: "...subjected to a full round of 4 and 5..."
For a split second, I thought they unloaded a full round of bullets into the notebook... and I thought wow!... that's one tough ass notebook. Sadly, I was wrong. :(
Wonder how these would hold up in say Iraq?
One of the bullet points said heat, dust, and immersion protected so I expect it would hold up well. My expectations is that it was built for that type of use, by soldiers that need their intelligence on a reliable piece of hardware.
Just make sure it doesn't get shot at with guns. :P
As LBowen stated it was designed for that type of use so it should hold up well. Though I would not want to be calling India for tech support in the field when it fails.
Have not been in a police squad car or ambulance lately and def not planing on it.
but would not be surprised to see these rugged notebooks there.

NSA mass surveillance leaks: Timeline of events to date
Summary: The U.S. government mass surveillance scandal may be the biggest ongoing story of the year. In this updating timeline, you can explore the full scope of the Edward Snowden leaks, which have implicated the world's most powerful nations in the worldwide spying operation.

U.S. and U.K. struck secret deal with U.K. to monitor British citizen data
Fresh information suggested what the NSA was telling the Brits might not have been all it was letting on. According to the Snowden-leaked documents, the "Five Eyes" group of countries, including the two superpowers, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, may not have been as binding as first thought.
A 2005 secret draft directive said the NSA could spy on its allies without informing them -- though, it's not clear if it was ever enacted. A 2007 NSA memo provided, according to The Guardian, the "first explicit confirmation" that Brits were caught up in the U.S. surveillance dragnet.

NSA malware infected over 50,000 computer networks worldwide
The NSA infected more than 50,000 computer networks worldwide with malware, according to new slides leaked by Snowden to Dutch media outlet NRC. A presentation dated 2012 showed a spiderweb map dubbed "Computer Network Exploitation," citing more than 50,000 locations globally.
The division of the intelligence agency, Tailored Access Operations (TAO), describes the operation in which includes, "enabling actions and intelligence collection via computer networks that exploit data gathered from target or enemy information systems or networks."

U.S. hooks Singapore, South Korea as players in "Five Eyes" pact
Reports in Australian media cited new documents leaked by Snowden that point to Singapore and South Korea as playing "key roles" in helping the U.S. and Australia, two members of the so-called "Five Eyes" pact of spying partners, to tap into other South Asian countries.
The map, leaked by Dutch media earlier in November, showed Singapore as a key telecoms hub in the Pacific region, as an important "third party" working with its U.S. partners. The operation helps the U.S. and other allied nations tap into the communications of other countries in the region, notably Indonesia and Malaysia.

Nicholas Confessore, political correspondent for The New York Times, wrote this week's cover story about the political battle over school lunches. He answered readers' questions in a Facebook Q. & A. last week. We had a few more for him.
How did you first get interested in school lunches?
One day this spring I was chatting with Sam Sifton, our dining editor, who noted that there were a lot of Times reporters writing about restaurants, cooking and nutrition, but not as many writing about the politics of food — the hidden battles in Washington that shape what ends up on our plate. This was a topic I found pretty intriguing. I spent some time talking to lobbyists, food activists and government officials, and it quickly became clear to me that the Obama administration's school-lunch experiment was one of the biggest stories in food politics. I spend a lot of time writing about the intersection of influence, money and power, but it was fascinating to be able to tie those themes to food — something even politically apathetic people care about and have a stake in.
I remember lunch ladies fondly. What do officials call them in public?
There is a bit of a stigma around the term "lunch ladies," a term some find faintly disparaging or dismissive, and others have tried to reclaim as a term of pride. The polite or safe term is "school nutrition professionals." The Obama administration's top food-policy adviser, Sam Kass, likes to call them "school chefs" — these are, after all, the people who have a very tough job feeding our kids, and most of them are working very hard to come up with creative, tasty, cost-effective meals.

FILLMORE, Calif.—Firefighters say they have a window of opportunity to put out a wildfire that destroyed two homes and threatened 160 others in Ventura County. Powerful winds pushed Monday afternoon's blaze in Fillmore but county fire spokesman Mike Lindbery says they eased at nightfall and evacuation orders were lifted at around 12:30 a.m. Tuesday.
The fire, which is burning in light grass and brush, held steady overnight at around 170 acres.
Lindbery says winds are going to be light for a day, giving some 400 firefighters a chance to swoop in and douse the blaze, which was sparked by a mobile home fire. Nobody was hurt and the cause of the original blaze is under investigation.

Daily in Your Presence - June 24
Day 174
"One who breaks open the way will go up before them. . . .
Their king will pass through before them,
the Lord at their head."
Micah 2:13
My child, are you discouraged at times because of the evil you see around you? My enemies have assembled their troops and planned their strategies against Me ever since the beginning of time. And they will do the same to My children. But I am your breaker — your power source to blast through their rocky intentions. My name and power are a dynamo within you. And they are stronger than the forces that come against you .
When I'm facing mountains too difficult to move, I remember Your promises to those who have gone before me. I've seen Your power as the breaker. Just as You delivered Israel, You are gathering Your people around the world to break through the evil and make Your name known .
There is no mountain too big for God to move.

German yields rise as Fed's Bullard adds to US taper uncertainty
By Ana Nicolaci da Costa and Marius Zaharia
LONDON, Sept 20 (Reuters) - German bond yields rose on Friday after a Federal Reserve official said the central bank could still curb stimulus in October, making investors increasingly uncertain about the timing of any tapering.
St. Louis Fed President James Bullard's comments gave investors a window of opportunity to cash in on hefty gains made in the previous session after the Fed surprised markets by keeping its asset-purchasing program intact.
Against this backdrop, analysts expected trade to remain choppy as investors try to preempt the Fed's future action based on the incoming data. In a sign of investor uncertainty, German bonds fell but fellow safe-haven U.S. Treasuries were largely unchanged on the day.
"Tapering is back on the agenda," one trader said. "I think people generally don't know what to do now. Central banks ... change their message everyday and therefore how can you justify having a position?"
Ten-year German yields were 2.3 basis points higher at 1.90 percent and German Bund futures were 24 ticks lower at 138.32.
The 10-year yield spread between U.S. Treasuries and German Bunds were 2 bps narrower at 79 bps.
"At least, as far as the Treasury market is concerned, the market is now more in line with what the Fed has as a guidance...," Alessandro Tentori, global head of rates strategy at Citi said.
"Still, when it comes to the euro zone, I guess we need to wait for some data and see whether this uptick in sentiment data we've seen in the past couple of months is really confirmed by activity data."
Consumer morale in the euro zone improved to a two-year high in September, the European Commission said on Friday, with confidence in the wider European Union surpassing its long-term average for the first time since the summer of 2011.
Greek government bonds outperformed other periphery issues, with ten-year Greek yields 19 bps lower at 10 percent benefiting from the first quarterly drop in almost four years in Greece's unemployment rate.
"Greek bonds are rallying because of a combination of things: first, the (lack of) Fed tapering; second, more good data; and only third, the absence of any nasties in the German election campaign," said Gabriel Sterne, an economist at distressed debt brokerage Exotix.
Chancellor Angela Merkel looked on track to win a third term in a weekend election in Germany but faced a battle to preserve her centre-right majority and avert a potentially divisive coalition with her arch-rivals, the centre-left Social Democrats (SPD).
Funding gaps facing Athens and the risk Portugal may not return to markets when its bailout runs out next year will be among European policy challenges for Germany's next government.
Investors did not expect the election results to have a major impact on the debt markets.
But, at the margin, they said a scenario where Merkel forms a grand coalition with the Social Democrats, seen as more open to European integration and liability-sharing than she is, would be supportive for periphery and hurtful for safe-haven Bunds.
Other periphery prices were range-bound, with Italian yields flat at 4.29 percent and Spanish yields 2 basis points lower at 4.31 percent.

Still, Obama said: "We can't just keep subsidizing skyrocketing tuition. We'll run out of money."
The Democratic minority on the House Education Committee and Workforce Committee released new figures showing that more than seven million students will incur an additional $6.3 billion in repayment costs for the 2012-2013 school year if student loan interest rates double on July 1.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Obama also asked Congress to extend the current tuition tax credit, double work-study jobs over five years and let borrowers consolidate multiple student loans at reduced interest rates.
But in this intensely partisan year, any congressional action seems dubious.
"I wish I could tell you that there's a place to find really cheap money or free money and pay for everyone's education, but that's just not going to happen," Romney says. "Now the government is taking over the student loan business. I think you'll get less competition."
The government has not taken over the student loan business. The private loan industry is still writing student loans, usually at interest rates far above the government ones.
What the Republicans are zeroing in on is a section in Obama's health care overhaul that eliminated big banks as middlemen in managing federal school-loan programs. Also, the new federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is clamping down on the lightly regulated private student loan industry.
Santorum, who now says calling Obama a "snob" for promoting higher education was "probably not the smartest" choice of words, has been seeking to rally blue-collar support by emphasizing that many jobs do not require college degrees — and suggesting many colleges are liberal bastions.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Love this card. It is the perfect combination of polite and charming which is exactly why we chose it. It came out adorable and made it a little less painful to fill out all of those Thank Yous! ; )"
"I loved the way that my thank you cards turned out! It was worth the wait to get the pictures back from my photographer so that guests who couldn't travel in were able to see some exciting shots from our special day. The site is super easy to use and delivery was shorter than quoted!"
"Great way to say thanks and also send a photo to your guests (or in this case, 3) for one price. The card stock is slightly textured and is nice and thick (thicker than a standard greeting card). The photos come out matte and as long as you use your high quality photos from your professional photographer, the color quality and resolution look great. Love that I was able to customize the text on the back and choose whether I wanted it printed with text lines or blank. Very satisfied and would highly recommend!"
"The quality of the card (paper and printing) was fantastic. I was extremely happy with the finished product and have had so many compliments of how classic and elegant it was. I was also thoroughly impressed by the service provided as I was emailed when the original picture I used was too grainy to give a good finished product. As soon as I submitted a new picture I was contacted to be told this was a better quality. I thought this may delay the printing process and therefore the delivery date but the cards arrived a day earlier than anticipated. I would definately recommend this product and also wedding paper diva services, even to those in the UK like myself, it's better than anything you will find there :-)"
"creating it is so easy....they have great options and you get to try several pictures till you find the ones that works....the process was so easy..."

Unemployment Claims
Markets & Ebola: Confusion, Containment, & ComplexitySubmitted by Tyler Durden on 10/18/2014 18:14 -0400
The level of micro-management by the Fed appears to have reached a new shockingly high plateau. Recently prices have been driven more by liquidity, fear, greed, and Fed policy, than by valuation. It is time that the Fed stops being a source of interference and confusion. There are also two less obvious or less discussed economic reasons why the Obama administration may be urgently focusing more on the Ebola crises.

Hiring In The US Remains Far Below Pre-Recession LevelsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 06/10/2014 10:34 -0400
As the chart below shows, while the US may have, somehow, recouped all of its post-recession job losses as was widely trumpeted everywhere on Friday, it sure didn't achieve this courtesy of a vibrant hiring labor market. In fact, as the chart below show, while the US may have recovere its annualized job change number, per the non-farm payrolls survey, of just about 2.4 million, or about 200K per month, the pace of US hiring is still just about half of where it should be based on the pre-recession trends.

ECB Historic Negative Interest Rate Make Non Yielding Gold More AttractiveSubmitted by GoldCore on 06/05/2014 13:35 -0400
Gold surged 1.6% in euros to €928/oz after the historic ECB announcement to adopt negative interest rates. Cheap money, financial repression and currency debasement are classic recipes for short term financial and economic gains. Throughout history, they have been the easy options for emperors, kings, queens and governments. They are the easy option for the ECB and central banks today.

Goldman's Payroll Postmortem: "Confusing", "Disappointing", "Little Negative Weather Impact"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/07/2014 10:52 -0400
BOTTOM LINE: The January employment report contained a confusing set of data, as payroll job growth significantly disappointed, but the unemployment rate declined by one-tenth, reflecting large gains in household employment. Overall we see the report as slightly weaker than expected. Nonfarm payroll employment rose a disappointing 113k in January (vs. consensus +180k). By industry, retail trade declined 13k (vs. +63k in December), while health and education services?normally a consistent support for headline job growth?declined for the second consecutive month (-6k). Construction employment, which declined 22k in December amid adverse weather, added 48k, suggesting little negative weather impact in the January report. Government employment fell 29k, the worst performance since October 2012, split between federal (-12k) and state and local (-17k). Payroll job growth in November and December was revised by a cumulative 34k, consistent with the general tendency for positive back-revisions in the January report. Over the past three months, payroll employment rose an average rate of 154k per month.

Unemployment Rate Set To Plunge As Bill To Restore Jobless Benefits Fails To Pass SenateSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 01/14/2014 18:24 -0400
Following last week's surprising passage of the preliminary approval to extend emergency unemployment claims, i.e. emergency jobless claims, for 3 months, when six republicans sided with democrats and gave approval to the original $6.4 billion legislation, there was an expectation that up to 1.4 million Americans would get their benefits extended once again (despite the so-called recovery in the economy, and the job market, instead of just all time high S&P500). Moments ago such hopes were dashed, when a Senate plan to restore long-term jobless benefits hit a wall Tuesday after Republicans withdrew their support amid complaints over cost and other issues.

Americans React To End Of Jobless Benefits: "I Just Don't Know What To Do, Except Pray"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/30/2013 11:28 -0400
"It's going to put my family and me out on the streets," is a perspective shared by many of the 1.3 million Americans about to lose their emergency unemployment claims. The program, started during the recession, was intended to help jobless people after they exhausted state benefits, typically lasting six months. House Republicans resisted continuing the benefits without budget cuts elsewhere to cover the cost. As Bloomberg reports, opponents say the extended benefits discourage the unemployed from accepting jobs and that the program should be curtailed, given the recovery in the nation's labor market.This has profound implications for the oh-so-important unemployment rate that the Fed is so dependent upon...

Cowgirls Wearing Pink ShadesSubmitted by Tim Knight from Slope of Hope on 12/29/2013 15:23 -0400
For the New Year, it seems that SOH, that last true refuge for pensive brooding bears, has been overrun with pompous bulls peddling & pumping a new 21st century high tech plateau of permanent prosperity, that would make even Irving Fisher's rose twittering cheeks blush.

Initial Claims Still "Idiotic", Still "Rising Above" As California ObamaVista Glitch PersistsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 10/24/2013 08:41 -0400
With claims from the backlog in California's systems "glitch" (which began in September) still working their way through the system, one can only imagine the debacle that this data really is as more people filed for unemployment claims that expected for the 3rd week in a row. 44,100 Federal workers applied for claims two weeks ago (and received it we presume as well as their back pay now) but the Labor department notes these claims are not reflected in the total. At 350k, vs 340k expectations, this is the first time since early January that we have seen 3 weeks in a row of missed expectations...

It Is Happening Again: 18 Similarities Between The Last Financial Crisis And TodaySubmitted by Tyler Durden on 07/26/2013 20:08 -0400
If our leaders could have recognized the signs ahead of time, do you think that they could have prevented the financial crisis of 2008? That is a very timely question, because so many of the warning signs that we saw just before and during the last financial crisis are popping up again. Many of the things that are happening right now in the stock market, the bond market, the real estate market and in the overall economic data are eerily similar to what we witnessed back in 2008 and 2009. It is almost as if we are being forced to watch some kind of a perverse replay of previous events, only this time our economy and our financial system are much weaker than they were the last time around. We have been living so far above our means for so long that most of us actually think that our current economic situation is "normal."

Bernanke today testifies on monetary policy before the House Financial Services Committee (formerly the Humphrey-Hawkins). The testimony will be released at 8:30 am NY with Q&A after his testimony. Tomorrow he testifies before the Senate Banking Committee but the prepared remarks are the same for both days. Indeed it's likely that the Q&A will be where all the fun starts. As DB says, he will likely try to pull off the trick of continuing to prepare the groundwork for tapering but try to give bond markets something to help them fight off the pressure of higher yields. With no post-meeting press conference planned for the July 30th/31st FOMC, and Bernanke not scheduled to speak publicly until he appears at the Global Education Forum event on August 7th, this week's testimony may well be the only remarks we hear directly from the chairman for some weeks.

Initial Claims Spike To 360K: Highest In Two MonthsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 07/11/2013 08:42 -0400
Now that Bernanke has thrown in the towel and reverted back to the old bad news is good news regime (or did he - GETCO's vacuum tubes at least sure seem to think so), there was hardly anything more the market could ask for than a horrible Initial Claims print. It got just that with today's initial unemployment claims which soared from last week's upward revised 344K (only +1k revision this time) to 360K, well above the consensus (and Joe LaVorgna) forecast of 340K. Sure enough, the BLS said the July claims were difficult to seasonally adjust, so let's look at the NSA claims which jumped by 49,778 in the week ended July 6 to 384,829 making one wonder if the BLS' instruction in the holiday shortened week was to actually represent a worse economic reality unlike during the Obama pre-reelection months. The only other notable item in the report was the ongoing drop in Extended claims, with EUCs down by 23K to just 1.6 million, 1 million less than a year ago as claims exhaustion means ever more people drop out of the official labor pool. Permanently.

President Nixon and the Role of Intelligence in the 1973 Arab-Israeli War
This collection highlights the causes and consequences of US Intelligence Community's (IC) failure to foresee the October 1973 Arab-Israeli War, also known as the October War or the Yom Kippur War. A coalition of Arab nations led by Egypt and Syria launched a surprise attack on Israel on October 6, the day of Yom Kippur. Prior to October 6, the CIA concluded that the Arabs would not attack, so the offensive surprised US policymakers as well as Israel. Directorate of Intelligence (DI) analysts believed that Arab military inferiority would militate against an attack on Israel. DI analysis did not explore the possibility that leaders might go to war--even at the risk of losing--to pursue political objectives. According to an internal postmortem, Agency analysis was impaired by preconceptions about Arab military capabilities, information overload, rational actor modeling and groupthink.
