Indicator Taichi - a Simple Idea of Formalizing the Values of Ichimoku Kinko Hyo. [ ru ]
What forced the creation of the indicator Taichi and a trading system based on this indicator?
Let me start with a small prehistory. First I invested much time into reading special
literature and analyzing a large number of indicators and their combinations. I
suppose, this is a common way to begin for if not everyone, for at least 90% of
those starting to work in the financial market independently. Simultaneously I
had several attempts of manual trading using generally accepted and widely known
trading systems. The conclusion was simple - without a serious psychological training
no indicator or trading system can be profitable in practical application, a deposit
is invariably lost.
While my previous experience allowed to learn MQL4 rather quickly, the idea of using
the possibilities of automated trading for eliminating the psychological factor
seemed very tempting. This was the beginning of the long process of defining principles,
formalizing and writing my own trading system. At that moment I unexpectedly made
a conclusion that may seem simple - all indicators (or at least the majority of
known indicators) in a graphical way draw one and the same thing. It is price.
Price at the current moment, price an hour ago, price in its historical presentation,
different price aspects and characteristics.
We always know how a price behaved in the past, which enables "analysts"
to explain authentically why an event on a chart happened or did not happen. It
is a common opinion that a price is the last thing to change in the market. Probably
it is true, but for the automated trading this does not matter. Automated trading
is based on technical analysis and data from indicators. And this is actually an
attempt to formalize a price behavior in the past and to project this behavior
onto a probable price development in the future. And that is where the most interesting
things start - the possibility of seeing exact entry and exit points is a dream
of any trader. Defining flat zone and its end in an automated mode is also a very
important task. Perhaps the indicator Taichi will help you to detect the most important
events on a chart not in the past, but at the moment of their appearance.
Wanted: Exact Entrance! Is it Trend?
From the large amount of existing indicators the most interesting for me seemed Ichimoku Kinko Hyo. The reason for this is quite simple - its workability that is proved by years. Still there is nothing ideal in this world, and the indicator itself was developed not for Forex. Of course, Hosodo contributed greatly to trading. Moreover, all the indicator principles are actively used in the suggested variant of the indicator Taichi. Actually the indicator Taichi is an evolutionary mutation of Ichimoku Kinko Hyo.
I suppose, I am not the only one who faced problems when interpreting Ichimoku values. Operation methods and setup parameters are described in the library of technical analysis Ichimoku Kinko Hyo, so I will not dwell on them in this article. The main idea of the indicator Taichi is formalizing signals of Ichimoku Kinko Hyo and detecting a prospective flat/trend.
What do we need for a successful trading? The first thing is detecting an entrance point. Let us try to detect it using the indicator Taichi.
Principle and lines of the indicator:
Below is a chart with a possible entering point into a short position and a possible position closing point.
Viewing the above chart, we can conclude that for entering a short position we need
the following combination of indicator values with no painted flat zone:
But it is not so easy. It is not as definite as we would like it to be. No one can guarantee that a situation is favorable for getting good profit. I suppose many of you have noticed that favorable indicator combinations occur when a price achieves pivot points. It is quite a hard task to define pivot points, besides it is hard to implement in an automatic mode. That is why for trying to filter out false signals, I recommend using an additional indicator.
You can use any indicator you wish (or a combination of several indicators - indicators show some aspects of price states). In our variant we use DeMarker attaching two MA lines to it.
What we expect from DeMarker is the moment, when DeMarker crosses fast and slow MA lines somwhere about 0.7 for a short position. This is the first preliminary signal. Then we need the intersection of MA lines. This is the main signal after which we start working with the values of the indicator Taichi. If MA lines did not intersect, the signal is considered to be false and the price movement is expected to continue.
Offered parameters for H1: DeMarker 64, fast MA 42, slow MA 86. The parameters were selected in an experimental way, so in you personal case the values may differ.
Wanted: Exact Exit! Is it Flat or Pivot?
Well, we have entered. But you understand that it is not all we need. Position closing
is probably the most difficult moment in terms of psychological tension. Let us
try to close a position with minimal loses of a possible profit, besides we should
not face the situation, when after waiting too long the position stops being profitable.
Closing a position at a first negative signal may result in a strong disappointment
if the price then will continue its movement in its previous direction. After that
you may try to reopen the position (quite an often case), which is likely to result
in losses.
A position closing technique, offered for a certain variant, is quite simple and has several aims. The first one is defending the profit acquired from a position. But when should this be done? Price movement is almost unpredictable and has quite a large deviation at a movement in one direction. The values of the indicator Taichi are too late for this purpose, that is why let us try to use the filtering combination of the indicator DeMarker with two MA lines, as described above.
After opening a position (in our case it is a short one) check the value of the
fast MA line on DeMarker. When the fast MA line upon DeMarker makes an attempt
to turn upwards, activate a trailing stop and set stop level at 25-30 points away
from the current price. On hour charts this level is quite enough for eliminating
a quick stop activation and prevents from losing already acquired profit.
There is a high probability that we reached a true pivot point, or a point of turning into flat, so it is reasonable to close part of a position together with setting stop level. If a lot size is decimal and a brokerage company allows a partial position closing, we can close 20% of the position. As a result we have the following: we have acquired profit, protected the remaining part of the position by a stop and allowed the position to get more profit in case if the signal was false (fast MA line and slow MA line did not intersect). What is more important, we do not have to bother and be nervous.
Experience shows that the above described situation most often leads to a pivot or passing into flat. So when the pivot combination occurs (fast MA line and slow MA line intersect), close the remaining part of the position.
Flat - Time to Rest?
And what should we do, if the combination was formed, but values of the indicator Taichi are still directed into the same direction. The advice is simple - wait.
Do not be in a hurry trying to win a little profit. Today is not the last day of
trading and Forex will not cease to exist tomorrow. The experience showed that
after the pivot combination on DeMarkeris formed, Taichi is likely to enter the
state of flat zone indication. In such a period, despite the values of a filtering
indicator, it is not recommended to enter the market.
Although, there are exceptions. The flat zone may last very long. In such periods
you may try to trade using a system of an equidistant channel. But this is not
the topic of this article, so we will not dwell on it.
The main idea I wanted to share with you is the following: despite the fact that
the market exists already for a long time and one could think everything is already
invented, the market itself is a very interesting object to be investigated. We
should not take on trust everything that was written earlier - check it, try to
use all the developed earlier as the basis of your own ideas. I cannot guarantee
that you will find something new. But I am sure it will be interesting for you
and will help to develop your own understanding of the Forex market.
This article contains an example of an attempt to find my own way in trading based on development and ideas that were expressed long ago. Perhaps, this will be useful for you.
All the written in this article is only my personal opinion and my own view on processes and events.
Attached is the indicator Taichi and the indicator DeMarker with MA attached to it. Prefix Cronex in the names of the files is used only for the identification of indicators upon their belonging to a trading strategy.

Hi !
Can you make CRONEX TAICHI indicator a MTF indicator?

I call this Cronex Taichi line The money line. :) I have a select few SMAs that I follow and when I see the Taichi rolling over or lifting off with my SMA squeezing it, it is guaranteed to be a big move. It's the most impressive squiggly you can add to any chart. :) It is also amazing how the yens cascade then you get a small bounce and the market comes up and tags taichi to the tick then continues its journey. I never can get enough of it.

A Tuesday Number direct from the raid that killed terrorist leader Osama bin Laden:
Thats the average age of the Navy SEAL Team 6 member involved in the Pakistan action, according to foreign policy expert Frederick Kempe, who said on MSNBCs Morning Joe he got his information from a dinner he had with a three-star admiral Navy SEAL.
Now, I know Special Forces soldiers are older because, among other things, the job requires experience and maturity.
But thats still really cool (said the 40-year-old).
The Daily Mail says about Team 6, its members are chosen from among other SEAL teams after years of exemplary service to hunt and kill terrorist targets anywhere in the world.
FYI: Like Delta Force, SEAL Team 6 does not exist.

Are Too Many Social Enterprises Adding To Our Problems?
If you want to change the world—whether locally or globally, big or small—you've probably thought about starting up your own social enterprise or nonprofit. Think again. Author and Columbia University instructor Brian Reich says that too many organizations impede progress toward solving the world's most pressing problems. He argues that people need to use existing models to target specific needs or issues, through flexible structures rather than permanent ones.
Reich founded his marketing company, "little m media" in 2009 to help organizations focus on "information experience," which Reich says "is the stuff we consume that shapes our behavior and defines how we function as human beings." Reich teaches consumer behavior and marketing strategies in a Master's of Communications program at Columbia University.
Dowser: Your recent book, Shift and Reset, recommends certain approaches to new media that allow organizations to take advantage of what it offers, without being too wrapped up in it. Would you say you're arguing for the use of new media in moderation? Are we placing too much emphasis on its value?
Reich: We live in this amazing time where for the first time in human history we are connected. Technology has such a significant influence over all aspects of design. This creates a massive and exciting opportunity. We used to only understand problems as they related to whatever community or geography we had a direct connection to, and now we have the ability to know what's happening on the other side of the world. We can access expertise and knowledge beyond the immediate network that we are involved with.
But as we are more connected and info moves faster, the challenges in the world are getting worse. And there's an acceleration of things getting worse, because we're all connected. So, if we don't shift our thinking and address these problems now, then they're going to get worse at a rate that's faster than we're able to solve them. And we don't want to lose the belief that individuals can address these problems. What's lacking is an understanding, a capacity to do anything. We're using old models, old lines of thinking. And that, I would argue, is potentially making things worse.
Are we relying too much on technology and social media?
The issue is less about social media, and more about recognizing what it means to be a social human being. I'm platform-agnostic. I don't think you need to be in-person to influence behavior or educate someone. But I do think you have to recognize the way the human brain works, and the way we act as individuals and in groups.If we're going to use digital tools to connect, we have to take into account some of the analog, off-line ways of doing things. Social media isn't bad, but we have adopted a set of behaviors through social media that aren't sophisticated enough—we don't listen well enough, we don't stay engaged on issues for extended periods of time. Human beings can adjust to things on the fly. But we're focusing on the efficiency and the scale—how many followers we have, how many clicks, how many 'likes'—instead of measuring the substantial shifts in behavior. It's not the tool–it's how you use it.
Sounds like we have a problem of focusing on quantity over quality?
Right. And it's not surprising because we want efficiency but it's only great for certain things. When you're looking at a real substantive societal problem, more is not always better. In many cases we need to eliminate things and focus on one, small tweak to effectuate change. It doesn't matter how many people are looking if they're looking for the wrong things.
Can you give an example?
For two decades, scientists have been trying to solve a genomic challenge related to the AIDS virus and they hadn't been able to figure it out. So they asked a bunchy of gamers—people who play and develop games professionally –and in less than two weeks, the gamers cracked the challenge. So the bad way–the social media-age way of thinking about this would be that gamers are the solution to everything. We hear about one interesting solution resulting from gamers being involved and everybody wants to have gamers solve everything.
So the better way would be to say, we've been looking at this problem one way for twenty years and now we looked at it in a completely way, which we never would have considered if we weren't living in a connected society where we're aware of these different ideas. At its core, the argument is to think and do things differently. But it's a problem when we start focusing on outcomes instead of activity, and then we build massive institutions and lists—those things change the game inherently.
At Dowser we might look at what the gamers actually did. It may not be about gamers necessarily, but we'd want to know what they did that cracked the code. And then we'd ask about replication and scalability.
Here's where I disagree with you. That AIDS challenge was unique. And thinking about replication makes people say, let's bring in gamers for every problem, no matter what it is. And then two or three problems down the line, when gamers can't solve it, people say, screw it, gamers can't do it; they aren't the solution. It's not about scale or replication, it's about adaptation, and accelerating our ability to learn from everything and apply the lessons learned in appropriate ways.
Right, it's not about looking for the one solution.
When you have a complex problem, there's no way there's only one solution. There's certainly more than one cause, so there can't be one solution. In something like marketing, the simpler you make it, the better—but I'm not talking about fundraising or branding, I'm talking about solving the problems. But we're operating under organizational approaches that we used in the past. Even the flattest organizations are still largely hierarchical and they establish a structure, get comfortable with it, and stick with it. But in a world where things are constantly changing, we need to operate in a much more fluid way.
This reminds me of something you said on a panel at the recent Green Festival, about the need for fewer new organizations. At Dowser, we highlight new organizations on a regular basis. Tell us more about your thoughts on social enterprise creation.
People shouldn't start an organization. They should pick a problem, and try to solve it. You've got to do whatever it takes, structurally, to solve a problem. That may mean replacing your team—or not forming an organization at all. Once you start an organization you've got to keep it alive—you have to have staff, volunteers, an office space–and that takes time and is a distraction from the real work of solving a problem. And if you have a new organization, it's probably in competition with a similar organization that's doing the same thing. The most successful projects on Kickstarter do something specific: we are going to create a book about 'x', and it identifies a need in the market, or something people want, and it goes and does it. Ideally it's socially-focused, rather than just money-making. But what does an organization solve, besides a global desire to be a part of something? Your goal as an organization should be to one day not exist—to solve your problem and then have no more work to do.

ODAC Newsletter - 7 December, 2012
Welcome to the ODAC Newsletter, a weekly roundup from the Oil Depletion Analysis Centre at nef dedicated to raising awareness of peak oil.
If last week's energy bill announcement was about building the low carbon power system of the future, this week's gas strategy and autumn statement felt like a blast from the past. With Energy and Climate and Change Secretary Ed Davey away at the COP 18 UN climate change talks in Doha, it was left to the Chancellor (increasingly the unofficial minister for gas) George Osborne to deliver the strategy which opens the way to 26 GW of new gas powered plants by 2030, with a second scenario which could generate as much as 37GW "should the 4th Carbon Budget be revised upwards".
So here is the rub – there are two gas policies – the DECC one and the Treasury one. Just a week after a major energy strategy release to provide a clear framework for investment, here we are with huge question mark hanging over everything. The growth in gas would be dramatic even under the lower scenario with 26GW at the high end of previously proposed figures– just in September the leaked figure was 20GW. Greenpeace warns that even the 26 GW build will put severe pressure on emissions targets.
The increased role for gas shows the government backing the highly questionable scenario of a domestic shale gas boom in which "we make the best use of lower cost gas power". Given that even the government's own documents point out the very different circumstances around drilling in the UK to the US experience, this is a huge assumption. The renewed backing for gas is however likely to confuse the investment picture for low carbon power making the UK more reliant on volatile gas prices. The announcement also shows strong signs that any Conservative government after the next election would back away from UK climate commitments.

Oil Snaps Three Days of Losses on China Output Growth Outlook
Oil rose in New York, snapping three days of losses and trimming a weekly decline after forecasts showing China's industrial production rose at the fastest pace since March boosted speculation fuel demand will increase.
Futures advanced as much as 0.5 percent before a report Dec. 9 that may show China's output grew 9.8 percent in November from a year earlier, according to the median estimate of economists surveyed by Bloomberg News. The country's retail sales are forecast to have increased 14.6 percent last month, compared with a 14.5 percent gain in October. Oil slid to the the lowest price in three weeks yesterday after the European Central Bank cut its forecast for euro-area economic growth...
EIA: AEO 2013 reference case projects faster US production growth
Advanced technologies will increase US oil production more quickly than previously forecast, the US Energy Information Administration said as it released its 2013 Annual Energy Outlook reference case. Production will rise more quickly than demand as more stringent motor vehicle efficiency standards take effect, it indicated.
"EIA's updated reference case shows how evolving consumer preferences, improved technology, and economic changes are pushing the nation toward more domestic energy production, greater vehicle efficiency, greater use of clean energy, and reduced energy imports," said Adam Sieminski, EIA administrator...
North Sea oil production 'could rise in short-term'
North Sea oil and gas production could confound expectations by rising significantly over the next few years - but may fall short of government hopes in the longer-term, a new study has claimed.
With high oil prices of at least $90 per barrel, output from the UK could rise to 1.4m barrels per day (bpd) in 2017 as large new fields are developed, the University of Aberdeen study found. Last year production fell more than 17pc to 1.04mpbd...
U.S. Feels Less Gasoline Pain as Pakistan Tops Ranking
The U.S., the world's biggest oil consumer, is among the nations feeling the least pain at the gasoline pump, while Pakistan tops the list of 60 countries ranked by Bloomberg.
A gallon of premium gasoline cost Americans 3 percent of their daily income in October, 55th out of 60 nations, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. In Pakistan, a gallon cost 46 percent more than a worker's daily wage. Venezuelans paid 0.3 percent of their income to buy each gallon, the least in the world, the data show...
Gas strategy unveiled by George Osborne
George Osborne on Wednesday fired the starting gun on a new "dash for gas" that will partly use tax breaks for shale production, though the government admitted it did not know whether future gas prices would rise or fall.
The chancellor used the autumn statement on the country's finances to unveil a long-awaited but highly controversial gas generation strategy that critics believe will lock Britain in to a high-carbon future...
Gas strategy should be 'plan Z', government's climate adviser warns
George Osborne's dash for gas is "completely incompatible" with the nation's legally binding carbon emissions targets and should be "plan Z", according to the government's official climate advisers.
The gas strategy, due to be published alongside the chancellor's autumn statement on Wednesday, envisages far more gas power stations than the limit recommended by the energy secretary, Ed Davey...
Autumn Statement: More gas plants 'needed' - but doubts over incentives to secure investment
The number of new gas power plants needed will be greater than previously thought because of rising electricity demand and old plants closing, ministers said.
In a gas strategy published alongside the Autumn Statement, the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) said gas will play "a major role in our electricity mix" for decades to come....
Cuadrilla's Francis Egan on why fracking is the future
Depending on who you believe, Francis Egan, the private equity-backed chief executive of energy firm Cuadrilla, is either an energy maven shaping the future of Europe's embryonic fracking industry, or an environmental criminal who won't stop drilling until Blackpool blows up.
In April 2011, more than a year before Egan was hired by Cuadrilla chairman and former BP chief Lord Browne, exploratory drilling by the company on Lancashire's Bowland shelf was found to be the cause of two small "earthquakes" in Blackpool...
Osborne's dash for gas won't happen – yet
The gas strategy, unveiled yesterday to much fanfare from the Chancellor, was in fact no such thing - it was two gas strategies.
The decision to model two such divergent scenarios for the future of gas in the UK - one based on plans deemed acceptable by the Committee on Climate Change to deliver 26GW of gas capacity in 2030 and one based on plans for an historic surge in gas investment that would deliver 37GW of capacity and almost inevitably breach the UK's carbon budgets - invites onlookers to interpret them for what they are: a strategy developed by DECC and endorsed by Ed Davey and a strategy developed for the Treasury and designed to appease Osborne. Forget Plan A and Plan B, here we have a Plan D for Davey and a Plan O for Osborne...
Chancellor's cheap gas strategy 'undermines investment and jobs'
George Osborne has come under heavy criticism from green businesses and NGOs, after unveiling a raft of measures to stimulate investment in up to 37GW of new gas capacity alongside today's Autumn Statement.
The Chancellor told the Commons the government's new Gas Strategy would "ensure we make the best use of lower cost gas power, including new sources of gas under the land"...
Fossil fuel subsidies 'a disaster' for economy and environment
The Chancellor's widely touted decision to provide more tax breaks to the fossil fuel industry represents a "desperately short-termist" approach to energy policy that will harm the UK's economy in the long term, campaigners have warned.
George Osborne is due to announce plans to build up to 36GW of new gas capacity in his Autumn Statement and consult on tax breaks to encourage controversial shale gas developments...
Why we need a green gas strategy
The publication of a Gas Strategy alongside yesterday's Autumn Statement showed the Chancellor's support for gas is focused in one clear direction: supporting shale gas extraction in the UK.
Even leaving aside concerns about environmental impact and the true lifecycle emissions released by shale, this focus risks missing a huge opportunity: to reduce the carbon footprint of the gas grid through domestic green gas...

Paris Faces Darkness as City Set for Illumination Ban
Paris's legendary label as the "City of Light" may soon lose some of its luster.
The French minister for energy and environment unveiled last week a proposal for lights in and outside shops, offices, and public buildings -- including the flagship Louis Vuitton store and the Lido cabaret house on Paris's Avenue des Champs Elysees -- to be turned off between 1 a.m. and 7 a.m. starting in July. The plan, to be applied across French cities, towns and villages, is aimed at saving energy and money and showing "sobriety," Minister Delphine Batho said...
EDF to extend life of nuclear power plants
EDF Energy is to extend the operating life of two UK nuclear power stations by seven years, in a move that should help curb greenhouse gas emissions and buy the country more time as it works on plans to deliver a new fleet of nuclear reactors.
EDF Energy chief executive Vincent de Rivaz confirmed today that Hinkley Point B and Hunterston B power stations are now expected to remain operational until at least 2023, instead of closing in 2016 as originally planned...
EDF France Reactor Cost Rise May Pressure U.K. Power Price Talks
Electricite de France SA's 2.5 billion-euro ($3.3 billion) cost overrun at a French reactor will probably influence talks with the U.K. government over paying for nuclear projects in England.
The announcement earlier this week may be a tool to secure a better power price for a reactor in the U.K., Liberum Capital Ltd. said. The cost of building EDF's EPR reactor at Flamanville in Normandy has more than doubled to 8.5 billion euros because of changes to its design after Japan's Fukushima disaster...
Report: Decentralised energy needs a central role
Businesses and academics have said the government must establish a "clear vision" for distributed electricity generation if it intends to build a sustainable, secure, and affordable energy system.
Around 11 per cent of the UK's generating capacity – or 9GW – is made up of small units producing electricity near to where it is consumed, and just over half of this comes from renewable technologies such as solar panels and wind turbines, according to a new report by Carbon Connect, part of the Policy Connect think-tank...
UK's failure to win CCS funding 'a slap in the face' for developers
The government has been warned its failure to secure €600m of EU funding for UK carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects has "dealt a slap in the face" to developers and could delay the deployment of the technology.
Energy and Climate Change Secretary Ed Davey confirmed last week that, as expected, the three UK projects put forward have not been awarded any funds from the first tranche of the €1.5bn NER300 fund set aside by Brussels for CCS and renewables projects...
Lord Deben: Thatcherite turned green warrior defends Climate Act
The former Tory environment secretary and now head of the UK's climate change watchdog, John Gummer – now Lord Deben – has vowed to protect legislation underpinning the UK's climate commitments, bringing him into conflict with many in his own party.
The simmering row in the coalition is set to be reignited when George Osborne announces tax breaks for shale gas drilling in the autumn statement. The new gas strategy is intended to promote a huge rise in gas exploration and power generation. This emphasis on gas, and the split in the Tory party over green policy, threatens to derail tens of billions of pounds of investment in low-carbon energy and transport infrastructure and the creation of thousands of green jobs...

"Very good flavor. I also added black beans and corn. I browned two large chicken breasts in my soup pot to get those delicious crusts in the bottom of the pot and finished baking in the oven..Juices from that pan were added back to the soup pot along with the chicken...skin on and bone in. While I was browning the onion/celery/carrot/jalapeno's "
"This was very good. I used ground turkey as well, and more beer and beef broth than the recipe called for. Because of this, I may consider thickening with a little flour next time, but the flavor was great. Not the same old, same old chili recipe."
"These were delicious!! The coating was light but crunchy and flavor was wonderful. I think if one is looking for a thick coating they might be disappointed but it was just what I like. I marinated the onions in the buttermilk for several hours and had no problems with the coating staying on. My only problem was keeping the oil at a steady temp"
"I was not pleased with this one. Wish I had put jalapenos in it. Not much flavor. On the other hand, this would be good for small children that don't like strong flavors."
"This was ok but I've had better corn and black bean salads. I didn't cook mine because I wanted cold salad with all the crunch factor. I left out the bay leaf but every thing else was the same. Maybe cooking would bring out more flavors but I took one reviewers suggestion that hers/his was a bit mushy. It does make a ton so half the ingredient"
"This marinade was terrific!! I used brown sugar as one of the previous reviewers recommended and other than that I didn't change a thing. I marinated the meat separately. I doubled the marinade recipe and boiled the beef marinade. I too have chicken juice fears...silly or not. I'm my worst critic but I have to say this was a big winner. I'll"
"We made this green chile sauce for our burgers yesterday so this rating has to do with that. We followed the recipe to a T and found it way too wet to put on a burger. The fix was simple....we strained the water out. If we make it again, I'll omit the water altogether."
"This slaw was really good. I tweaked it a bit after reading other reviews. I didn't add any salt as soy sauce is all the salt needed. I added fresh mint and cilantro chopped, and a little less brown sugar and ginger than called for simply because I had very little of those two things. I will absolutely make this again!""
"These were absolutely delicious!! My husband enjoyed them as well and he usually doesn't like a burger that isn't ground beef. I'll surely make these again!""
"This brought rave reviews and I was pretty pleased myself! Followed the roasting part almost to a T but used my immersion blender to thicken the gravy with a little corn starch and beef stock. The best!! My husband always makes his pulled pork with a boston butt so I used one too. Could not have been any better. I used Paula Deen's recipe for""
"This was a home run!! I got compliments from my most critical guests. I don't like the taste of raw fennel but cooked is nothing like raw. I used more bacon than the recipe called for and more beer also. I thickened using a little sour cream. Absolutely delicious! I will make it again for sure.""
"The taste was wonderful. I omitted the milk as others have said. I had too much sauce (my own recipe) so that made it difficult to turn over but that was my fault. I'll absolutely make it again but will be careful to use less sauce. Who couldn't like fried spaghetti?"
"This was a brilliant method!! We used my husbands dry rub mixture(similar to Anne's and slow cooked with beer in the oven and finished on the grill. Best we've ever had much less made. Can't wait to do it again."

The one small negative was "too loud", however it's a brewery and the openess attributes to that. Makes it difficult to have any dinner conversation~but we won't let that stop us from returning or recommending it.
Great service, friendly waitress~definitely "customer service" oreinted~Jen (in the dining room) did a wonderful job.
Sincerely Bea & Bob Beuth
The food was expensive, but good. The atmosphere was too noisy and uninspiring. The service was absolutely terrible.
I really can't recommend it to anyone, unless I hear that management is prepared to start focusing on a little customer service. I paid my bill that overcharged me, even left a $5 tip, and walked out without a scene...but I won't be back. If you go, I'd recommend just sit at the bar, get a pint of heavy keavy, and then go elsewhere for dinner.
Other notes: I got the beer sampler. There were 7 beers. 2 of them were amazingly good. 2 were good. 3 were pretty darn bad! :) Oh well, that's the fun of samplers.
The homemade rootbeer was bland and fizzless, but it's cool that they make their own rootbeer, just the same.
The environment is nothing to brag about. It's small, cramped, and noisy.
The food isn't anything unique, but the dressings on the salads and sandwiches are bursting with flavor and are all homemade. I did like their dressings.
All in all, I can't recommend this place, you pay a lot for mediocre meals, average beers, and terrible service, and then get overcharged and get brought stuff you didn't order and then charged for it. Eh, go at your own risk.

England completed a clean sweep on day one of the FIRA AER Moscow Grand Prix Sevens with victories over the Netherlands (33-14), Wales (35-12), Georgia (47-7) and Russia (19-14).
Photo: Getty Images
England's sequence of wins came despite being reduced to nine available players after knocks to Bristol's Matt Williams (hamstring), Nick Royle (hand) and Jack Preece (knee).
And Head Coach Ben Ryan was particularly impressed with the positive performances from his mix of HSBC Sevens World Series regulars, new signings and triallists.
"It was a case of job done despite picking up three injuries and the nine left in the squad did very well.
"Russia are a strong side so to beat them was very positive and against Wales and Georgia we produced some great attacking play."
England opened the day with tries from captain John Brake, Dan Bibby, Tom Mitchell, Mike Ellery on his debut and Jeff Williams in the 33-14 win over the Netherlands.
They exceeded that points tally in beating Wales 35-12 with Jeff Williams, Tom Mitchell, Chris Brightwell, Royle and Ellery touching down.
Sevens tries in the 47-7 victory against Georgia came from Royle (2), another debutant in James Lightfoot-Brown (2), Mitchell, Jeff Williams and Ellery.
Russia were the toughest opponents and England led at the break through Brake and Mitchell tries with Ellery striking at the start of the second half to make sure of the 19-14 win.

Organization: East Omak Elementary
Subject: Language Arts
Category: Writing
Grade Level: Fourth - Sixth
Duration: one 45-minute period
This lesson teaches students how to properly use quotation marks in conversation in their writing.
I hope to get the students to use quotations in conversation appropriately in their writing.
Students will be able to use quotations around conversation appropriately.
Punctuation marks made on 9" x 12" construction paper. I make two sets of quotation marks, two commas, one period, one question mark, one exclamation point. Sentences written out one word at a time on 5" x 7" index cards. I use a different color for each sentence. I have 7 sentences that I use. Be sure to use sentences where the person talking is at the beginning, middle and end of the sentence.
1. Randomly pass out all of the punctuation cards.
2. Pass out one color of sentence cards to students who do not have punctuation cards.
3. Read the sentence. Students go to the front of the room and place themselves in order without talking.
4. Students from the audience get to move them around one student at a time until they are satisfied the sentence is correct.
5. Do the second sentence, third, and on through the 7th sentence.
6. After you are satisfied they have the idea, have them take out a piece of paper. You read each sentence and they write it correctly on their papers.
Hands-on learning.
If the students can write the sentences correctly after the game, then they have the idea of punctuating conversation, using quotations.

[Federal Register: July 10, 2000
(Volume 65, Number 132)] [Proposed Rules]
[Page 42304-42305]
Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service
9 CFR Parts 1 and 2
[Docket No. 00-005-1]
AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, USDA.
ACTION: Request for comments.
SUMMARY: We are considering several changes to the Animal Welfare regulations to promote the humane treatment of live animals used in research, testing, and teaching and to improve the quality of information we report to Congress concerning animal pain and distress. Specifically, we are considering adding a definition for the term distress. Although this term is used throughout the Animal Welfare regulations, it is not defined. The addition of such a definition would clarify what we consider to be distress and could help assist research facilities to recognize and minimize distress in animals in accordance with the Animal Welfare Act (AWA).
We are also considering replacing or modifying the system we use to classify animal pain and distress. Professional standards regarding the recognition and relief of animal pain and distress have changed significantly since we established our classification system. Some biomedical research professionals and animal welfare advocates believe our classification system is outdated and inadequate. A different categorization system could produce data that more accurately depict the nature of animal pain or distress and provide a better tool to measure efforts made to minimize animal pain and distress at research facilities.
We are soliciting public comments on the changes we are considering. We are also interested in obtaining information on specific pain and distress classification systems other than the one we now use.

Under the Animal Welfare Act (AWA) (7 U.S.C. 2131 et seq.), the Secretary of Agriculture is authorized to promulgate standards and other requirements regarding the humane handling, care, treatment, and transportation of certain animals by dealers, research facilities, exhibitors, carriers and intermediate handlers. The Secretary has delegated responsibility for administering the AWA to the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Regulations established under the AWA are contained in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) in title 9, parts 1, 2, and 3 (referred to below as the regulations). Part 1 contains definitions for terms used in parts 2 and 3. Part 2 contains general requirements for regulated parties. Part 3 contains specific requirements for the care and handling of certain animals.
We are soliciting comments on an approach, discussed below, for amending the regulations by defining distress in part 1 and by modifying or replacing the animal pain and distress classification system in part 2.
In the regulations, we define a painful procedure as any procedure that would reasonably be expected to cause more than slight or momentary pain or distress in a human being to which that procedure was applied. Although we use the term distress in this definition and elsewhere in the regulations, there is no definition for distress in the regulations. We are considering adding such a definition because of requests from the biomedical research community and animal advocacy groups. These parties have asked USDA to provide guidance on what is considered to be distress in a procedure involving research animals in order to improve recognition of animal distress, to classify and report it more accurately, and to create a heightened awareness of the regulations requirement to minimize animal distress and pain.
Section 13(a)(7)(B) of the AWA requires research facilities to annually provide information on procedures likely to produce pain or distress in any animal. In accordance with the AWA, the regulations at Sec. 2.36 require facilities that use or intend to use live animals for research, tests, experiments, or teaching to submit an annual report to the Animal Care Regional Director for the State where the facility is located. Among other things, the report must state the common names and the numbers of animals upon which teaching, experiments, research, surgery, or tests were conducted involving: (1) No pain, distress, or use of pain-relieving drugs; (2) accompanying pain or distress to the animals and for which appropriate anesthetic, analgesic, or tranquilizing drugs were used; and (3) accompanying pain or distress to the animals and for which the use of appropriate anesthetic, analgesic, or tranquilizing drugs would have adversely affected the procedures, results, or interpretation of the teaching, research, experiments, surgery, or tests.
To provide these data, each research facility must assess the potential for animal pain or distress associated with the proposed procedures. This assessment is performed prospectively (i.e., before the procedure) and typically forms the basis for the pain and distress report provided by the facility to USDA. The assessment, therefore, is an estimate based on professional judgment, knowledge, and experience, and the resulting report may or may not accurately reflect the conditions the animals actually experience. The research facility can, as an option, retrospectively (i.e., during or after the procedure) assess the animal pain and distress observed and report these results. We do not know how often facilities perform retrospective reporting.
There is no provision in the current classification system to address some areas identified by the research community and animal advocacy groups. For example, the current system does not include a means to report:
We are aware of several alternative pain and distress classification systems. For example, the system adopted by the Canadian Council on Animal Care, Categories of Invasiveness in Animal Experiments, may be viewed on the Internet at http://www.ccac.ca/english/gui_pol/policies/CATEG.HTM
The system proposed by the Humane Society of the United States may be viewed on the Internet at http://hsus.org/programs/research/usda_proposed_scale.html.\1\
Other classification systems, varying greatly in complexity, are in use in other countries, such as Switzerland and Sweden.
\1\ If you do not have access to the Internet, you may obtain a copy of the system adopted by Canadian Council on Animal Care or the system proposed by the Humane Society of the United States by contacting the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT at the beginning of this document.
Modifying the current USDA system, in lieu of replacing it, could also be an option. This could involve replacing or redefining the existing categories to:
We invite your comments on adding a definition for distress to the regulations and replacing or modifying our animal pain and distress classification system. We are particularly interested in soliciting comments addressing the following questions:
Written comments should be submitted within the 60-day comment period specified in this document (see DATES and ADDRESSES).

Without all our volunteers the RNLI simply would not be able to operate the way it does today. Volunteers are one of the RNLI's most valuable assets and they give us not only time and support but access to a huge range of skills and talents that would be beyond our reach in any other way. The RNLI has over 42,000 volunteers, performing over 200 different roles within the organisation – no matter what your interest is or experience you have, we have something for you.
'If you want to be involved with the RNLI then you should try your very best to make it happen. Being part of the organisation in any way is a unique opportunity.'
Please take a look at this inspirational video clip to give you ideas of the roles available, and click here for an overview of the RNLI Volunteer Commitment.
So you want to be a ...
'How many other people, when asked what they did at work that day, can say: "I saved a life"? It's the ultimate in job satisfaction.'
Imagine for a moment that you're part of Poole lifeboat crew. It's 2.30am on a freezing January morning and the pager's just woken you from a deep sleep in a snug warm bed. You then head out to sea in complete darkness in winds gusting to hurricane force. High waves rise and fall around you, ready to swamp you at any moment. The lifeboat is tossed around like a toy but you can't turn back as a fishing trawler is in difficulties 23 miles out to sea.
'You come off the lifeboat physically wrecked and bruised but you still come back for more, and after a successful rescue you're on cloud nine for days. It really is a hell of a feeling.'
Please click here for information on joining the lifeboat crew.
Also, watch a short documentary Time with the Crew that examines the thoughts and motivations behind six volunteer crew members.
More than 1,000 fundraising groups with 35,000 volunteer fundraisers underpin everything that the RNLI does through their local events and activities. Hundreds of volunteers also abseil, dive and run marathons for the RNLI. Fundraisers are vital to help the RNLI raise the millions of pounds needed to keep our lifeboats and lifeguards operating.
Poole has an active group – Poole and District Fundraising Group – that is always looking for new members to join their team of volunteers. If you would like to volunteer, with a one-off event, maybe just for one or two hours, or with local fundraising collections or maybe something more challenging, please contact us for further information.
Poole Lifeboat Station is open to visitors by appointment only and volunteers are needed to talk to and show around the young people and adults who visit. Our volunteers guide them around the station and help make sense of what they see. If you would like to volunteer to help, please contact Brenda John, Lifeboat Visits Officer.
From yacht clubs to golf clubs, many groups and societies are keen to know more about the work of the RNLI. If you feel you have the ability to communicate the RNLI's core messages and tell them about the ordinary people doing extraordinary things at Poole Lifeboat Station, then contact Brenda John, Lifeboat Visits Officer.
The Poole Quay Old Boathouse needs you! Housing one of Poole's historic lifeboats, Thomas Kirk Wright, we are always looking for volunteers to assist with showing around the large numbers of adults and children that visit.
Volunteers do not need to be experts on museums – we are looking for people who have some experience of working with children and adults and/or the ability to engage with them on their level.
The Old Boathouse also has a shop on site selling RNLI memorabilia, cards, gifts and nautical-themed items.
Hours of volunteering are flexible and can be designed to suit your individual needs. You will have the opportunity to meet new people, utilise your existing skills, and gain new skills and experience.
If you are interested and want to find out more, please contact Dave Bowman, Museum Coordinator.
Poole Lifeboat Station has an active Sea Safety Team headed up by Sea Safety Officer Chris Holloway. Part of their brief is to carry out checks and talks on sea safety to individuals and clubs, providing advice on man overboard techniques, lifejackets, flares and many other safety topics.
If you would like to help the RNLI carry out these checks and share safety advice and guidance then please contact Chris Holloway, Sea Safety Officer.
The RNLI is committed to educating young people about how to stay safe, with a proactive approach to sea safety.
As an RNLI education volunteer you can make a difference in reducing the number of young lives lost at sea. There are many ways that education volunteers can make a difference. It doesn't matter where you live, how much time you have to spare or what experience you have of working with children, we still need you!
To find out more, please check out the Education Volunteering section of the main RNLI website.

I've purchased quite a few...
I'm making a tour/sampling of more recent science fiction novels. Particularly space opera style novels. Asimov was my first love with science fiction, and once I exhausted his novel supply as a teenager, I never really moved on save for Herbert's Dune series up to a point, some H.G. Wells, and a few other classics. Well, my father inspired me a while back by purchasing Pandora's Star by Peter F. Hamilton and reading the Commonwealth saga. He then went on to the void trilogy. I have sampled those books and eventually want to read them.
Thanks some assistance from the amazing book store I visited, I was able to branch out from the notion of Hamilton and make some more semi informed purchases. Additional Alexander Hamilton, Alastair Reynolds, Eric Brown, Stephen Baxter, Charles Stross, Ian Banks, Allen Steele, and Kim Stanley Robinson purchases came as a result. Now I'm set for a while.

I have all of the Commonwealth Saga, but mostly just to complete out the series on my bookshelf. They're very in-depth reads, but I haven't finished them yet.
I also hear so many good things about Alastair Reynolds, but I find his novels far too wordy, with a little too much detail on.. well, pretty much everything. Might be your cup of tea though.
Some of my first series were the Priscilla Hutchins novels from Jack McDevitt, as well as Old Man's War (and it's sequels), by John Scalzi. Also, you can NOT go wrong with Rendezvous With Rama, but stay far away from their sequels.
