"oh no its just i didn't know anything about it"i said then i ran inside the bag i had and there was a sack of gold "well she can have this i just brought this gold just in case i wanted to buy something"i said to him.
"Then go with the rest of the soliders i am just here for protection." I said to him the air in this place making me crinch my nose.
i then saw the large kingdom "okay ill go"i said as i walked to the kingdom and went thru the door to see the queen and princess.
i watched my younger brother walk away into the kingdom and a small drop of hate boled in me. It wasn't even a year before father was with another woman, he didn't morn my mother's death and i hated him for it and my brother for having his mother. i wipped these thoughts from my mind and continued my practive with my spear.
as i had left my brother i felt hated and felt as if everyone in the world wanted to kill me and didn't want me in this world.
Denmar rubbed his head. That girl had a mean right hook. She had realized what he was doing and put a quick stop to it. He would have went and talked to one of the princes, but they were out. They should be back soon, though. What to do until then... His stomach grumbled. He remembered that they were having Clam Chowder today in the dining hall! He hurried off to get his fill.
Selene had sensed someone noticing her. " You can come out in the open, I don't bite." She had been walking looking for the guards who were supposed to guard the assembly hall and throne room. She had heard the whispers of the ladies in waiting on her way here. She noticed a young man as well who looked a little like her uncle but she didn't dwell on that either. She had been so preoccupied with thinking who to train with next." Maybe it was all just my imagination"She thought to herself since the unseen watcher didn't come forward. She contiued walking up to her room to change to her training clothes.
" You know if you keep frowing like that no matter how pretty you are, you'll get ugly." Selene's brother Darshin had hollered to her as she walked past him. His sister had been the more serious one. Too bad that there was never a woman ruler in the empire she could have given him a good fight in that. He knew what was bothering Selene this past three months and he knew some how his head was in the chopping board eversince their uncle had been eyeing their mother and it was iminent that Soujiro wanted the empire for himself and his son, question is which of them did he want on the throne.
I then started walking around and i saw a girl then i walked up to her.

McCain on 'The View': I haven't changed
The Republican nominee for President may have appeared on The View four times in the past, but that didn't mean he got a free pass on visit number five.
John McCain appeared on the popular daytime talk show this morning and they peppered him with questions from the get-go.
There were some niceties at first, before Barbara Walters hit him with a question about his running mate Sarah Palin.
The greatest ever?
"You have said that Sarah Palin is the greatest vice president [candidate] in the history of the United States," Walters said. "Greater than John Adams who became President? Greater than father George Bush who became President? The greatest vice presidential candidate? Isn't that a little strong?"
McCain, who appeared comfortable throughout the session, laughed and said, "We politicians are never given to exaggeration or hyperbole. But the fact is, she's a great person, a great governor, she's the most popular governor in America, she understands energy issues which is a fundamental challenge...
"I'm going to be sorry I asked the question," Walters droned.
Maverick no more
Co-host Joy Behar seemed disappointed with McCain lamenting, "You used to be more of the maverick, then you sort of turned."
"In what way," McCain asked.
"Well, you became much more lockstep, I think, with your party – with George Bush's policies," she said. "I don't see the old John McCain who used to really buck the system as much."

The Standard & Poor's 500 Index erased an earlier loss as a rally in Apple Inc. (AAPL:US) sparked a rebound in technology shares.
The S&P 500 rose less than 0.1 percent to 1,406.91 at 2:36 p.m. New York time, reversing a decline of as much as 0.7 percent.
Apple jumped 1.3 percent as it sent out invitations to a Sept. 12 product event in San Francisco, where the company is expected to introduce a redesigned iPhone.
U.S. stocks fell earlier as data showed American manufacturing contracted in August, fueling concern the economic recovery is slowing.

Well this morning I finally picked up my new Kel Tec PF9 in OD Green and Parkerized finish. I paid 320.00 which is as low as the manager would go . But he did throw in a Uncle Mikes pocket holster so I don't think it was a bad deal.
I broke it down, cleaned, and lubed then off to the range I went! I was shooting WWB and some Hornady Critical Defense 115gr which will be my SD load.
It shot perfectly! It ate all ammo and asked for seconds! I'm only here now typing instead of still shooting because what many say is true. This gun you shoot little and carry ALOT. All I can say is "OUCH". Not a fun gun to shoot many rounds through. The missing skin on top of my thumb that was thoroughly rubbed off can attest to that.
My only concern was that I was hitting low and to the left. I thought it might be me so I pulled out my carry gun and put a mag full through it and took the center out of the target at 7yds so I know it's the gun.
All in all I'm very happy with my purchase and will be carrying it as much as possible which is always except while at work.
Before I have the smiley's attacking me here's a pic I pulled off the internet. It's identical to it since right now I don't have access to a digital camera.

Victoria's Secret • Love Me Wild Perfect Lipstick - Instinct • Lipstick

I'm seriously considering buying a backup of this lipstick. That's how amazing it is. I cannot wear many nudes, but my drugstore HG a couple years back was CG's TruShine in Petal (conveniently now discontinued). I haven't tried any nudes from MAC yet, (I have Creme Cup, but that looks far from MLBB on me, gorgeous on though; review on that later).
A few weeks ago I made my first VS makeup purchase: so Instinct is my first lipstick from VS, and will not be the last! First, the shade itself: a beautiful pearlescent neutral with pink and peach undertones. Not too warm toned; it leans a bit more cool toned, but not too much. (I'm in MAC NW15). The silver shimmers in this lipstick provide that beautiful gleam effect when on the lips; this color will NOT make your lips look flat and dull like some nudes, trust me. It brings more dimension and definition to them actually, and my, oh my, is it moisturizing! The entire time that it's on my lips, I feel like it's hydrating them, and never feels drying or makes my lips feel, er, tight, like other products do. I would give the packaging a 3 out of 5. It's cute, but the way it clicks shut, it just feels cheap. It's not that important, though, just thought I would point it out.

Wow how i love this lipstick! In general i tend to think that the VS perfect lipsticks are awesome and very under rated for the great texture and colors but this color is just out of this world beautiful. So far it is my favorite color they have ever carried. Instinct is a neutral rose tinted beige that has a very slight silver metallic sheen to it. It is perfect as a nude against my very pale complexion and I love the slight silver sheen because it keeps it from being just another nude. It is an incredibly sexy color. I think it would look killer on any ladies nc 25 or lighter - not sure how well it would do on more tanned skin. very moisturizing and has the VS yummy vanilla smell. I'm going to go by a few backups tomorrow because sadly this is LE.

This is a limited edition shade and the texture and wear is the same as the normal line of Perfect Lipsticks. It really is a lovely cool toned light pink shade, but it simply doesn't look great on my complexion. I am NC30, light tan with yellow toned skin. This lipstick looked too light on me, but it is such a great shade and I recommend it for paler complexions.

Bob Beauprez lacks a plan to lead
Re: "Candidates differ on steps for Colorado's 'energy revolution'," Oct. 15 news story.
Bob Beauprez's statement that the fracking issue should go to the ballot, where less regulation would have won, again demonstrates his naivete about energy issues and politics. Does Beauprez really want the same electorate that favored President Obama twice and gave us legal marijuana deciding Colorado's oil and gas policy?
This is just one more example of Beauprez's lack of a credible plan on how to govern Colorado. During most of the debates and discussion in this election, he has purposely taken the opposite position of gov. John Hickenlooper without thinking of the consequences. Add this lack of a credible plan to his extreme far right actions and positions, and there is an overwhelming set of reasons for independent thinkers to support Hick.

By Shea Bennett on March 11, 2014 12:00 PM

Capital Bank Financial Corp. Reports Fourth-Quarter Net Income Of $0.10 And Core Net Income Of $0.17 Per Diluted Share
CORAL GABLES, Fla., Jan. 30, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Capital Bank Financial Corp. (Nasdaq:CBF) today reported fourth quarter 2012 net income of $5.3 million, or $0.10 per diluted share compared with net income of $37.8 million or $0.75 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2012 (which included a $34.0 million tax benefit) and net income of $1.4 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2011. Results for the fourth quarter of 2012 included $3.8 million of non-cash equity compensation associated with original founder awards, $2.4 million of severance and conversion related expense associated with the acquisition of Southern Community Financial Corporation, $0.2 million of non-cash impairment charges related to intangible assets of Naples Capital Advisors and $0.1 million of merger expenses. Excluding these items, core net income, a non-GAAP measure, for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $9.3 million or $0.17 per diluted share as compared to core net income of $8.7 million, or $0.19 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2012. The reconciliation of non-GAAP measures, which the Company believes facilitate the assessment of its banking operations and peer comparability, is included in tabular form at the end of this release.
Gene Taylor, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Capital Bank, commented, "We are pleased with Capital Bank's earnings performance for the fourth quarter of 2012, which reflected both an improved credit performance and the acquisition of Southern Community. We also produced a strong increase in loan originations for the fourth quarter compared with the third quarter and significant growth in core deposits.
"During the quarter, we successfully completed the integration of Southern Community. Capital Bank now operates 164 branches on one core processing platform, under centralized management, and with consistent products, rates, and branding across the entire footprint. Looking ahead to 2013, we are continuing to assess selected acquisition targets focusing on those that are additive to our Southeastern franchise without presenting material dilution. Our top priority for 2013 is to improve our core profitability."

CINCINNATI — The Kroger Co. reported Tuesday an $875 million loss in its third quarter, blaming tough price competition and the struggling California economy's hit on its grocery business.
The nation's largest traditional grocery chain, which operates Fry's and Fry's Marketplace grocery stores in the Valley, also cut its profit and sales forecast for the full year, with Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and club stores such as Costco Wholesale Corp sharpening industry price-cutting efforts to lure recession-pinched grocery shoppers.
Kroger shares plummeted 12 percent in early trading, down $2.85 to $20.
Kroger took a $1.05 billion writedown on the Ralphs division it acquired a decade ago, saying the 263-store group in California has been battered by the state's rising double-digit unemployment and housing slump.
Kroger reported a loss of $1.35 a share, compared with profit of $237.7 million, or 36 cents a share, a year ago. Sales rose less than 1 percent to $17.7 billion.
Without the Ralphs writedown, profit would have been $176.7 million, or 27 cents. Analysts expected 36 cents a share on $17.7 billion.
The company said sales at stores open at least 15 months, a key retail gauge, rose only 1.3 percent, excluding fuel sales. Kroger cuts its full-year sales forecast for the measure to 2-2.5 percent, without fuel, from 3-4 percent for stores open at least five quarters.
For the second straight quarter, Kroger also cut its full-year earnings forecast, from $1.90 to $2 down to $1.60 to $1.70 per share.
Analysts were expecting $1.94 per share.
"The operating environment we saw during the third quarter was more challenging than we anticipated," David B. Dillon, Kroger's chairman and CEO, said in a statement. "In the near term, our financial results are being pressured by factors including persistent deflation, unusually intense competition, and the cautious mindset of customers."
Kroger has said shoppers are focused on promotions and price to stretch their food budgets. With an unprecedented number of Americans using food stamps in the recession, big-box stores have begun competing with grocers for their business, too.
Kroger has some 2,470 grocery stores in 31 states under two dozen local banners that include City Market, Dillons, Food 4 Less, Fred Meyer, Ralphs, King Soopers and Fry's.
Kroger shares traded as high as $27.65 last December before falling to $19.39 in March.
Kroger sales so far were $58.2 billion, down from $58.9 billion for the first three quarters of last year. It has a net loss $185.4 million for the first three quarters, or 28 cents. Excluding the Ralphs writedown, profit would have been $866.2 million, or $1.33 per share.
Earnings for the first three quarters last year were $900.2 million, or $1.36 per diluted share.

join us. We are a multitude, and we have been on the increase for
forty years. Forty years, and now our time is at hand.
You looked
for us when you sought an object for your ill-conceived charity,
but we quietly sent you away. We who will not vote, who will not
gratify you with an opinion of your foolish and indistinguishable
pretenders to this or that throne, we infuriated you. You called
us apathetic for refusing to play the game. Refusing even to register.
You said it was the only game in town.
But if we're
so apathetic, why have you sought us so desperately, coveting even
our style, asking our barbers if you are real, begging us to hold
the mirror for you while you compose yourself? You have courted
our swingers, but we have seen your anxious eyes in the rear-view
of your Volvo.
You like statistics,
go see if it isn't true: voter turnout has been decreasing in the
established democracies since the 1960's. You're desperate for a
mandate, but it's flowing away from you.
Your empire
flunkies are banging at our doors, telling us we're red or blue,
or striped with white bars, and we should go to our color-coded
stations. Greens, now there's a hue for you. Use 'em for a side
salad while you get on with dinner. Or get them to do the washing
up. Greens are excellent for washing things. And you know how they
just love to be included.
What's driving
you nuts is, we're not even refusing. We're not saying anything.
And we know you're nuts. We've seen your conventions. Also, your
good wars, and your bad ones. Your Motor Voter legislation so you
can register to kill twice at one convenient location.
You are a computer
virus. You thrive on attention. Say no to you, and you preen because
someone noticed. We say nothing.
You probably
think this song is about you. Don't you?
You have immense
standing armies, and they wish to march left, right, left, right.
We are more than forty percent of the adults in America, fifty percent
in Europe. If we would just say something, anything, left, right,
left, right, you could get a stronger mandate, get these armies
working efficiently, instead of going around losing wars to tiny
countries. But like you say, it's hard to fight a war if we don't
all stick together.

I'm a satisfied owner of a 2013 Model S P85 - the other day I was going to take a long day trip with iffy charging options so I opt'd for a range charge. Now I have experience with a range charge as I've done it multiple times at various super chargers…and I can stuff 274 miles of rate-range-electrons into the battery.
But the other day I was only able to get 269 miles of rated range into the battery from my HPWC…
have I already lost 5 miles (1.8%) of my battery in the 5 months/7500 miles I've owned the car?
this does not bode well if this is a trend.
anyone have any thoughts - similar experience?
I've never gotten 274 on the 8-9 times I've range charged. 265-269 is more the norm for me. I wouldn't worry about fluctuations in charging numbers. Every once in while I get 245 on a standard charge, but it's usually 242.
Also, these are just estimates so they are going to bounce around a little bit.
Check out volkerize.com to search the numerous threads on this. Consensus is no loss of range, just fluctuations in readings and the fact that you'd have to catch the car right after it hit full charge to see the true max because leakage then kicks in.
Those 5 miles could just be intermittent vampire losses and weren't "topped off" by the charger since the threshold wasn't triggered, i.e. it might have just been a timing issue.
I assume the HPWC wasn't charging at the time when you got into your car that day?
Also, based on the battery stats it could indeed be a permanent loss (estimating 10% after ~50K miles). I posted in another thread the Panasonic image for reference earlier today.
THe battery when new looses a bit then is supposed to level off for a long time.
So yes you may loose a bit with break in.
Thats what i have read.
I have 4500 miles on my 60 and have went from 191 to 185 on average.
But it does seem to be leveling around 185-188.
When I first got the car, it would charge to between 165 and 170 rated range when I told it to do a maximum range charge, and to between 135 and 145 when I told it to do a standard charge.
About a week ago I got upgraded to firmware 1.5 and the charging window now has a slider (and no standard or maximum range buttons so unless I can find them somewhere the only way to select between the two is on the iPhone app).
The only time I charged to maximum range since it charged to 171 rated miles and I stopped it. When I looked at the slider, it looked like there was still a little capacity beyond the green bar indicating how much was filled.
So I have no idea what is going on but I suspect it has nothing to do with lost capacity and more with how willing the software as to how much it is willing to push the battery.
this was right after "stopping" the HPWC charge - since I was waiting for it to be topped off before I left...so it wasn't vampire - I'll keep an eye on it and see where it goes from here.
Exactly the same experience with my S60. Simultaneous with the last software update, the "daily" charge limit clearly changed (discussed extensively elsewhere), before it was a bit more than 80% of max capacity and now it's roughly 80%. On the other hand, I note that driving over my daily route the energy consumption seems to have decreased significantly. Before the update, I rarely fell below the rated energy consumption and now it's generally below or equal. I swear my driving style hasn't changed...
@ dortor, why don't you look at things this way instead… your P85 is EPA rated at 265 miles. At 274 miles you were getting better than the rating. Even at the reduced 269 miles you are getting better than the rating. So your car is still performing better than what the EPA rating indicates. Why are you unhappy?
I personally don't care if my car starts out with 270+ or even 500+ miles of range - the car, as purchased, is EPA rated to provide 265 miles. As long as I'm getting the 265 miles, I'm getting what was represented at the time of purchase. Anything above that is bonus and not guaranteed or expected.
I don't have the latest 4.5 software yet but my charge for range goes to 274 but if I don't drive right away it will go down to about 265 before the charger turns back on. So I always make sure to not fully complete a range charge until right before I plan to leave.
We have noticed a steady degradation in the charge since delivery of our 85 Model S on March 28th. The Standard Charge was initially at 245; we are now down to 238 with each full standard charge. I have sent an inquiry to Tesla and awaiting their response.
Just to check: have you received an upgrade during that time to 4.5.x and - if that's the case - did the charge change after that noticeably? Or was it consistently, slowly decreasing till now?
85 model S 6000 miles. Before the update got 270 ideal miles on standard charge. After update have it on the last notch before max and switched reading to rated miles. Get a consistent 232 miles but could drop 5 miles with vampire loss depending on what time charging ended.
Just because your rated range says 274, miles, this doesn't mean you will get it, even if you drive the 308 Wh rate. There is measurement error in the system that is unavoidable. The actual measurement is a voltage difference across the battery pack terminals. This voltage difference is then turned into a charge (kWh) by an equation that was developed using measured correlation between voltage differences and kWh used. So here are the steps of uncertainty:
1. On a given day, your battery may accept more or less charge, depending on temperature and other variables.
2. There is measurement error in the process of measuring the voltage drop across the battery
3. Potential error or drift in the empirical equation that calculates energy storage (kWh) from voltage drop - the equation was developed from measured data that was subject to specific temperature conditions which may not be the same.
4. Further potential error in calculating Rated Range Miles from energy storage.
The bottom line is not to get too worried about, well, let's say about plus or minus 5% of the maximum rated range. So, about +/- 15 miles. Differences of less than this are most likely not "real", but just due to the measurement/conversion process.
Thanks wheatcraft, great information.
@wheatcraft - super info - thanks!
@Dortor...no worries, the best guide on this issue is the Roadsters...after 5 years those with less than 100k which are the vast majority still have about 90% of their capacity.....and those who have driven over 100K have around 80% of their capacity!!
I used to think I had lost several percent on my Roadster after just half a year, but, now it's summer again and I'm back up to just 2km below what I saw last summer (299 vs 301 or thereabouts in standard mode). I figure it was just the cold Norwegian winter that caused the battery to read a little lower a couple months back.
I've stopped worrying about it. :-)
I own a 2013 Model S and have also become concerned with the reported loss of range in my 40kwh version. When I picked up the car on 5/19/13 at the factory, it had 144 rated miles of range. For the first few weeks I would wake up in the morning and have 142 - 144 rated miles available. Then a few weeks later 140 - 142. Now I am getting 138 - 140. While it is somewhat comforting to know a loss of 6 miles of rated range falls within 5% of 144, I am becoming concerned with the trend. I have a total of 1,800 miles on the car and drive an average of 20 - 25 miles a day with an occasional day of 80 - 100 miles.
I have no evidence to back this up but in the odometer is the average kw/h used by the lifetime of the vehicle. For instance, mine is at 314 kw/h. I think rated range is based on your driving habits. As you kw/hr gradually go up your rated range goes down. Isn't rated range based on your average kw/hr?
@ZoomZoom -
If you charge your car at 7PM in the evening after a 25 miles usage then it would finish charging by 8:30PM. After which the onboard electronic will slowly drain the range until you drive the car the next morning. That might explain the loss of range you mentioned.
The ideal charging time is to set it to the same time each day and have the car stop charging an hour before you use it each day.
You can schedule a preset charging time every day - say starting at 3AM (ends around 5AM) and drive to work at 6AM.
Then you can compare the range at the same time each day for an apple to apple comparison.
Already done, I start charging at 2am and head to the gym at 5am. I believe I am comparing apples to apples...
@ZoomZoom - Did you noticed the drop before or after v4.5 upgrade?
Just the software trying to estimate based on your usage patterns what you have. I don't worry much about the numbers. In Arizona airconditioning usage can bounce it all around.
That and lead foot wives can change the number.........
@wheatcraft I don't agree with your reasoning above. You cite measurement error, daily temperature fluctuations, drift, etc. So if you were right, we'd expect to see ups and downs. Wouldn't somebody in this thread have chimed-in with numbers that were increasing?
But what we see are just downs and no ups.
I'm not overly concerned, because I understand my battery will age a little. But I'm taking note of it.
I started with 244 miles on the dial in March, and now get about 237.
I have a 60kwh battery pack and I have seen a slow, consistent downward trend in my rated miles after a standard charge. I have 7000 miles on the car, I have software v4.5, and I have made it a point to check the numbers within 30 minutes of charge completion. When the car was new, I was getting 190 miles. Now I am getting 179. A "loss" of 11 miles in four months. I agree with ZoomZoom, I don't like the trend.
A couple questions I am going to ask Tesla:
- Does supercharging use--over time--knock down the rated range?
- Does plugging the car in every night, reduce the amount of battery cycles over time and therefore reduce range? In other words, is it better for battery life not to charge the car every night if one does not foresee a need for those miles the next fay?
"day", not fay.
Just following up on the earlier question. Is the rated range individually calculated? So if I'm driving at 370 w/m, then I have less range than someone at 300?
Tesla has said rated range has nothing to do with your driving habits. The only thing calculating off of driving habits is the info in the energy app that shows a projected range. Both rated and ideal ranges are fixed formulas, per Tesla.

Amazon.com ReviewAllen Ginsberg made his mark, along with Jack Kerouac, Gary Snyder and others, in the Beat movement, a poetry of social protest that refused perceived elitist boundaries. Tortured by the paranoia and mental illness of his immigrant mother, and by his own homosexuality in a society that was homophobic, Ginsberg's early work was as much a measure of his self-loathing as his detestation of social hypocrisy and injustice. His poems reached depths of humiliation and shame that presaged a mental breakdown, followed by recovery with the help of Buddhist philosophy. His best poetry rises above both personal despair and political propagandizing with satiric comedy, and cheerful self-parody, and is most readily appreciated when read aloud.

I have been with my boyfriend for 10 yrs now, since the birth of our 2nd child he has gone off having with me. I have tried everything to get him to take notice of me, I have initiated sex only to be rejected, I wear sexy clothes and underwear but nothing will get his attention. I know relationships aren't all about sex but even a little bit of intimacy wouldn't go amiss. He finds it difficult to talk about it, first he said it was depression, now he says he can't get an errection, but refuses to go to the doctors or try to resolve it.

Welcome to the board. What I'm about to say will be painful, you are going to have to tell your SO about the affair before your AP does. The story will be better coming from you than him. Obviously your SO is feeling inadequate sexually, and for men that is almost always the death knell to the intimacy. Revealing the affair to him will probably make him feel even more inadequate. He may get angry and throw a tirade, he may stew in silence and cut you off completely. You know him better than I do, but you must be the one to tell him about the affair. Don't let the other man tell him, he will embelish the story to suit himself which will make you look bad.
|Mon, 04-16-2012 - 1:32pm
The right way to handle this would have been to negotiate an open relationship BEFORE you went and had sex with someone else. That way you wouldn't be caught in lies as you are about to be. If you couldn't succeed in getting his permission, then you would have had a choice to make. You're in a pickle now though, because it is unlikely that you will be able to get his permission after he finds out. He won't be able to trust you (and rightly so, since you lied to him and took advantage of his trust.) The best that you can hope for is that he will go to couple's counseling with you to try and repair the damage that lying and cheating has done. If you aren't willing to be totally honest and open with him and follow up with that for a long time, to restore trust, you are better off leaving him. You'll both heal quicker and move on sooner.

The rand weakened after a report showed mining production slumped, increasing speculation of slowing growth in Africa's biggest economy. The bond due 2021 rose for a second day.
The currency depreciated 0.2 percent to 7.5583 per dollar as of 4:51 p.m. in Johannesburg. The yield on the nation's 77 billion rand ($10 billion) of 6.75 percent bonds due 2021 fell two basis points, or 0.02 percentage point, to 7.82 percent.
Mine output dropped 2.5 percent in January from a year earlier, Statistics South Africa reported, while gold production slumped 11 percent. Retail sales growth slowed in January to the lowest rate in six months, a report tomorrow will show, according to the median estimate of nine economists in a Bloomberg survey.
"The lackluster performance in mining production bodes ill for our growth," Tebogo Mosepele, an analyst at Standard Bank Group Ltd. in Johannesburg, said in e-mailed comments. "The contraction of mining production is rand-negative from both a growth differential and a balance of payments perspective."
Metals and other raw materials account for 65 percent of South Africa's exports and the mining industry is the biggest private-sector employer, according to government data. South Africa has the world's biggest mineral reserves, according to Citigroup Inc., and is the biggest producer of platinum and chrome.
Mining plays a "critical role" in South Africa's economic development, President Jacob Zuma said Feb. 10, when he announced a 300 billion-rand ($40 billion) program to upgrade roads and railways. South Africa has a 24 percent unemployment rate, the highest among more than 60 countries tracked by Bloomberg.
The U.S. Federal Reserve meets today to review monetary policy after a report showed American retail sales rose in February by the most in five months.
"It is usual for markets to go into hibernation before a Fed meeting so market moves today might be limited," John Cairns and Josina Solomons, currency strategists at Rand Merchant Bank in Johannesburg, said in e-mailed comments.

(Updates to add Bank of America's forecast in 10th paragraph.)
July 13 (Bloomberg) -- JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Citigroup Inc., which report earnings this week, are under pressure to show that banks can increase revenue as the U.S. economic recovery sputters.
JPMorgan, set to announce results tomorrow, may say second- quarter revenue declined 0.8 percent to $24.9 billion, according to the average estimates of analysts surveyed by Bloomberg. Revenue at Citigroup, which reports results a day later, may fall 10 percent to $19.9 billion, with more than half the decline tied to assets the company has tagged for sale.
"The street is going to be looking at revenue growth" that will be difficult for banks to produce in the current economic environment, Paul Miller, an analyst with FBR Capital Markets, said in a phone interview. "You need the economy to work, you need rates to go higher and you need to see continued improvement in credit."
Boosting profit won't be enough to impress investors, according to analysts including Miller, a former examiner at the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia. They already know that fewer borrowers are defaulting, allowing banks to bolster profit with funds that had been set aside for future loan losses.
JPMorgan, led by CEO Jamie Dimon, 55, may say second- quarter profit climbed 6.2 percent from a year earlier to $5.09 billion according to the average estimate of analysts surveyed by Bloomberg. Citigroup may say profit rose 14 percent from the same period last year to $3.07 billion.
Bonds, Equities
The sovereign debt crisis in Europe and slowing economic growth in the U.S. depressed trading volume and curtailed revenue in the second quarter as investors bought and sold fewer bonds and equities, according to analysts including Chris Kotowski at Oppenheimer & Co. in New York.
U.S. central bankers said last month that the economy will expand 2.7 percent to 2.9 percent this year, down from forecasts ranging from 3.1 percent to 3.3 percent in April. The revised outlook was the second time this year that Federal Reserve officials lowered their forecasts for growth.
Home prices have fallen since mid-2010 and will continue to suppress bank revenue and earnings for the foreseeable future, analysts said. A further decline in property values of 10 percent to 25 percent over the next five years "wouldn't surprise me at all," Robert Shiller, who helped create the S&P/Case-Shiller Index of property values, said last month.
'Going to Struggle'
"If you're a short-term investor, banks are going to struggle, probably for the next six to 12 months," said Michael Yoshikami, chief executive officer and founder of YCMNet Advisors in Walnut Creek, California, which manages about $1.1 billion, including Citigroup shares. "When you have slow economic growth and you have more stringent credit requirements, they're just making less loans."
Earnings at Bank of America Corp., the nation's largest lender by assets, were wiped out during the quarter by expenses linked to mortgages that soured during the housing crisis.
The bank said June 29 it expects to report a second-quarter loss of $8.6 billion to $9.1 billion driven by $20.4 billion in charges, including a settlement of disputes over home loans, provisions for future claims, legal costs and a writedown of mortgage-unit goodwill. Excluding these expenses and gains from asset sales, the Charlotte, North Carolina-based lender said it would have posted as much as $3.7 billion in profit.
Goldman, Morgan Stanley
Total trading revenue at the five biggest Wall Street banks -- Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan, Citigroup and Bank of America -- may have dropped 4.4 percent to $21.7 billion in the second quarter, compared with the same period last year, and 17 percent from last quarter, Kotowski said. Trading accounted for almost a quarter of the firms' revenue last year.
"Investors are likely to be disappointed with second- quarter results for the universal banks as the combination of challenging trading and interest rate environment is likely to result in declining revenue trends," KBW Inc. analysts led by David Konrad wrote in a June 29 research note. They projected an 8 percent drop in industry revenues from last year.
JPMorgan and Citigroup may counter declines in trading revenue with an increase in fees from investment banking, which includes managing sales of equities and bonds as well as advising on mergers and acquisitions.
Expanding Abroad
James Staley, JPMorgan's investment-banking chief, may increase revenue from those businesses by 28 percent to $1.8 billion, according to Moshe Orenbuch, a New York-based analyst at Credit Suisse AG. Citigroup's investment-banking unit, run by Ray McGuire, may also post a 28 percent gain to $865 million, estimates provided by Orenbuch show.
Citigroup CEO Vikram Pandit, 54, aims to mitigate declining U.S. revenues by expanding abroad, according to Richard Staite, a London-based analyst with Atlantic Equities LLC. Citigroup got 62 percent of first-quarter revenue outside North America.
Revenue from Latin America, Asia, Europe, the Middle East and Africa may climb 7.7 percent to $4.67 billion at Citigroup's regional consumer bank while dropping 10 percent to $3.31 billion in North America, according to Staite.
The lender's Citi Holdings unit, which includes assets Pandit tagged for sale in January 2009, may post a $1.59 billion plunge in revenue, accounting for more than half the bank's overall decline, according to Staite.
'Slightly Skeptical'
Citigroup's increased lending abroad has been accompanied by higher expenses, which are eroding profit, Staite said in a phone interview. Consumer banking income from continuing operations in international markets may fall 7.1 percent to $1.01 billion in the second quarter compared with the same period last year, Staite's estimates show.
"For the time being, they're still in investment mode," Staite said. "That's why investors remain slightly skeptical about whether Citigroup can be successful in those countries."
The release of loan-loss reserves accounted for $2.55 billion, or almost half, of JPMorgan's record first-quarter profit of $5.56 billion. Citigroup would have reported a loss for the three months ended March 31 if it hadn't drawn down $3.37 billion in reserves.
When banks beat profit estimates by continuing to release reserves, investors view the earnings as being of "poor quality" and focus on the banks' "underlying fundamentals," Miller said.

I've admired the 429 from afar, and wonder if anyone my height is riding one. If so, then I'd love to hear from you about your ride impressions. The small frame has a 23" TT, which would mean that I would pair it with a 50mm stem to maintain the same saddle-to-bar-length. ...Thanks!

When Kathy was a teenager, her mother and several younger siblings died in a car accident. Kathy and her remaining siblings were devastated. Their mom had a robe she wore in the mornings when getting ready for work. It still carried her mom's perfume. Kathy found a measure of comfort wearing the robe, embraced by her mother's lingering scent.
After the first week follower the accident, while the kids where at school, neighbors washed all of Kathy's mother's clothes, including the robe. When Kathy came home to discover what happened, she sank further into despair. She lost that precious reminder of her mom. Thirty years later, when she is telling me this story, tears fill her eyes as she recalls the pain of what those neighbors had done.
When a loved one dies, "things" are no longer "just things." We hold on to special items as a way to keep memories and stay connected to those who died.

A request was made to start a new post on Zero Clients, so as forum sponsor wed thought wed start it...!
The first thing to point out is that if you ask 5 different thin client manufacturers for a definition of a Zero Client you will get 5 different answers. I will let the other manufacturers add their interpretations as they see fit.
As it is a marketing buzzword there is no definitive definition
Axels description of a Zero Client is a terminal that:
1) Has no operating system (stateless)
2) Has no local intelligence
3) Has no local browser
4) All applications are run on the server, or virtual machine
5) Does not need to pull an operating system over the network to boot
As such they are very small, low cost, low power consuming devices, typically 5 watts max.
Zero Clients are a natural response to conventional thin clients which have evolved in many cases to be very similar in complexity (and price) to entry level PCs the very products thin clients were supposed to replace as much simpler devices.
Our definition applies to the terminal connecting to a conventional Terminal Server/Citrix Server or to a virtual desktop. (ie VM Viewer or Citrix XenDesktop).
As Virtual Desktop Infrastructure is allowing thin clients to operate in areas conventionally proscribed to PCs, this is an area of great interest to many parties. Some of the areas where PCs were traditionally deployed (ie multi-media) will start to be available to thin clients.
Specifically for multimedia there are many competitive and incompatible products vying for this new market, but there are two basic architectures.
1) Connection at a VGA level (such as RDP & ICA)
2) Connection at a GPU level (such as VMwares PCoIP, Microsofts announced Calista, Citrixs HDX(?) and various other proprietary offerings).
Microsoft's plan to enter this market next year with their Calista technology will be very significant to all involved - love 'em or loathe 'em - what they do effects everyone. In brief it seems this product will directly support multi-media without the need to have embedded or downloaded codecs in the client . More information below for those interested.
As I am starting to wander off topic Ill leave the multimedia/VDI discussion for another post.
I look forward to a lively and hopefully constructive debate on the subject of Zero Clients...!
