Prince Albert, South Africa (spelt Prins Albert in Afrikaans) lies on the southern edge of the Great Karoo, nestling under the majestic Swartberg mountains.
Prince Albert was founded in 1762[3] on the loan farm De Queek Vallei with Zacharias De Beer as its first incumbent.[4] Originally known as Albertsburg, when it obtained municipal status in 1845 it was renamed Prince Albert in honour of Queen Victoria's consort, Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg.[4]
Prince Albert enjoys a beautiful healthy climate with high temperatures in summer and comfortable sunny but crisp conditions during winter with cold nights, reaching midwinter minimums of 2 °C, with frost in places. Summer and winter blend into one another, leaving only a matter of weeks for spring and autumn. Prince Albert's dry heat is ideal for anyone suffering from chest conditions and many people feel the health benefits of living here. This dry heat may spike up to 40 °C on a few days in the summer with an average of 33–35 °C, and 17 °C in the winter months.

I assume you are on a MacTel machine, as why GCC won't build. As for the userland, yes we aim for a GNU userland, because I have the opinion that the Gentoo mainline tree is written for that userland. Diego does a great job making the tree able to cope with a BSD userland, but to avoid all these little annoyances with find, awk, etc. in prefix it is only a small effort to make it a GNU userland. -- Fabian Groffen Gentoo for Mac OS X Project -- firstname.lastname@example.com mailing list

On 29 August 2011, over 200 information technology specialists, primarily web programmers, gathered at the Keyboard Monument in Ekaterinburg to celebrate the "IT Day".
During the festive event, programmers had to decide on the future of the Keyboard Monument by voting, news website 66.ru of Ekaterinburg reports.
The Keyboard Monument in Ekaterinburg is the first art sculpture in Russia dedicated to the computer keyboard. The monument was created by Anatoly Vyatkin in 2005 and is located on the bank of Iset river in the city of Ekaterinburg, the so called capital of Russian Urals. The monument looks like a real computer keyboard, increased in scale 30:1, with 86 concrete keys, each of them weighing up to 1,000 pounds.
Residents of Ekaterinburg are worried about the future of the keyboard expressing their fear regarding the soil and vandals. The Keyboard Monument is build on the river bank and the ground is unstable. As for the vandals, residents of Ekaterinburg reported several cases when some of the heavy monument parts, the keys, were either stolen or intentionally destroyed.
During the voting, Ekaterinburg web programmers had to decide either to put the monument on solid ground and restore the keys, or to move the monument to another city, suggested to Perm.

Hi, I have several seedlings of a dwarf hogplum species, about 8 inches tall. They are fast growers and will start flowering in about a year. The botanical name is Spondias cytherea and they are strictly tropical trees (zone 10 or above). But they will grow and fruit very well if planted in large containers and kept in green houses in zones 9 or below. They will grow no more than 6 feet tall. Fruits are about the size of large egg, yellow on the outside when ripe and have a nice sour-sweet flavor. I am looking to trade for other not so common tropical fruits. Please check my list or make an offer. Thanks. |

Biographical Information: John Bowie Strange was born in 1823 in Fluvanna County, Virginia, the son of Gideon Alloway Strange and Harriet J. Magruder. When the Virginia Military Institute opened its doors to cadets on November 11, 1839 Strange was one of the small group who enrolled that first day. He had the additional distinction of serving as the first cadet sentinel assigned to guard duty, replacing the militia guard that had previously been charged with guarding the stores held in the Lexington Arsenal. Following his graduation on July 4, 1842, he pursued a career in education, serving as a teacher, as Principal of Norfolk (VA) Academy, and as Superintendent of the Albemarle (VA) Military Academy. Strange married Agnes Gaines in the early 1850's and the couple had four children: Agnes, Henry (VMI Class of 1873), Willoughby, and James (died in infancy). During the Civil War, Strange served as Colonel of the 19th Virginia Infantry Regiment. He was killed at the Battle of South Mountain (Maryland) on September 14, 1862 and is buried at Maplewood Cemetery, Charlottesville, VA.
About the letter:Strange's letter to his sister Anne was written just a few months after the Institute's opening day, and is one of the oldest personal cadet letters still in existence. Strange mentions several aspects of cadet life that were common during the pre-Civil War era: Final examinations were given orally rather than as written tests, presided over by faculty and the VMI Board of Visitors and open to the public; summer furlough was not automatic, and many cadets stayed at the Institute throughout the year, going into a summer encampment on the Parade Ground from late June until the beginning of the next academic session; and obtaining extra clothing and other goods from home was a serious matter to most cadets.

[Addressed to Miss Anne M. Strange, Oak Hill, Fluvanna. Politeness of Mr. Minor.]
Virginia Military InstituteJune 26, 1840
Well Sister Anne I have passed my examination and as you all are anxious to hear the result of the same, I have concluded to write to you. I received your letter the other day, but as you predicted I had not time to answer it before my examination which ended on Saturday last. There were a great many people at the examination, as a public invitation was given through the papers which I have not doubt you saw, but notwithstanding we nearly all passed. Two were sent off, the names of whom I think it best not to mention. Six were turned back to go over the same course next year, as for me I passed fifth, i.e. my general standing including Mathematics, French and conduct. I expected to pass higher, but at the examination I got a very hard principle to demonstrate and for that cause I suppose the others got the start of me: but if I can always pass as well, I need not grumble.
The Board of Visitors have selected the other cadets. I believe they are required to repair here by the twentieth of next month, as we expect the camps about that time, and if we are disappointed in getting them, I know not where they will take up their lodgings as there is not room for them here, but there will be by next September as they are building a house across from the Institute for the Steward, who now occupies four rooms. The Institute is improving rapidly. The Principal Professor has his house adjoining it [words missing]. Adjutant intends having his put up on the [words missing] to the Principal's this summer and then the old [word missing] will make quite a display.
About half of the Cadets are going home this summer I believe, and stay until the fifteenth of July, then I believe the remaining half have the same privilege, that is when they return. Two of my roommates, Messrs. Winn & Pendleton, intend leaving on Friday next if they can get off, they have both obtained permission.
Anne permit me to ask you to make me those drawers, socks & c. which I wrote to you about at least a month since. I was astonished Sister Anne that you did not attend to my letter. I thought that you knew that I have no opportunity of having them made here, so I will be glad if you will make me four pr. of drawers, about half doz. pr. of cotton socks, and also some sewing appurtenances as this is the only opportunity I expect you will have before next summer. You can get Brother to fix them up in a small bundle and send it to Capt. Winn's by one of the little boys. I have no doubt but that you are very busy making the Negroes summer clothes but if you do not send me the things I request, you will disappoint me very much. I am afraid you pay too much attention to your numerous beaux to think of much else, but I dare say it is a good plan after all, if you can succeed. And as for Hatty, I suppose she has become quite the Bell, if she visits much, which I suppose [she does] every chance she can get. I am not astonished [missing] Brother not going with you all to Miss [missing] wedding, that he might not like to [illegible] in such circumstances. I judge that he had rather more important business to attend to at the house, as this is a very busy season of the year with farmers, and the latter may be the only reason for his not going.
I have not received a letter from Sister lately. I am sorry to hear that she is disappointed in making you all a visit this summer. I reckon she would like very much to see O. Hill once and a while. Have you heard from Uncle Billy lately? I would be glad to hear from him and his family, whether he intends taking up his abode in Missouri or not.
I suppose the Dr. is still living with you all. You did not mention him in your letter. I wonder he did not go with you all to the [B____] but I reckon he was most too lazy.
I have concluded not to come home until next summer, as I do not expect I could get off now if I wished, as the Guard duty would be too hard on the Corporals. I shall have to go on Guard every third night after Messr. Winn & Pendleton leave and if I were to leave the remaining two would have to go on every other night, which would be very hard to sit up half the night so often these short nights. I send with this letter a copy of the Regulations as it is your request. I wish you had sent me a copy of my circular as I asked you. I hope however [you will send] a copy of it yet. I have never heard from [missing] them yet. I have gotten only one letter from Uncle since I have been here. I wonder he does not [write] to me oftener.
I believe that I have written all that I can think of at present, and perhaps more than will be interesting; therefore I must conclude. Give my [best] love to all and believe me your affectionate Brother, J. B. Strange.
P. S. I wish you not to mention to any one that any have been sent off or turned back. Our debating society is improving very fast, and our Library is increasing very fast. The Board of Visitors made us a present of five dollars each for the purpose of buying books. I'll be glad if your make my drawers rather tighter than [are now], or fix them in such a manner that I can tighten them for we have to wear our pants very tight and if the drawers are not as likewise I can't get the pants on.
N. B. Tell Brother I think it would be best if [missing] send me two or three pr of shoes if can [missing] good ones from Palmyra, for this is [missing] the dearest place I ever saw [missing] have to pay [missing] dollars for very common shoes. No. 6 fits me. J. B. S. You may think that we are required to wear shoes of a peculiar kind, but if they are tolerable high quartered that is all that is necessary.
Note below the address: This letter was misplaced and consequently it has never been sent to the person to whom it was directed.

text: What if a live-action version of the Simpsons was created? Like the Flintstones and Transformers movies, many cartoons have been adapted for live characters. But, in the case of the famous yellow family in the long running hit from Springfield – who could possibly be chosen to portray such memorable characters as Homer Simpson and friends? Artist Brad Anderson gave the question a stab, photoshopping versions of the family and other famous characters from the show using famous celebrities to fill each roll. [Read more…]

VERETSKI PASS By Paul-ÉmileComeau Published January 20, 2006 Veretski Pass Golden Horn
Veretski Pass is a trio that plays "village style" Yiddish music from Ukraine, Medieval Poland, Romania and other regions of Eastern Europe, some of it tracing its origins to the Ottoman Empire. Each of the three musicians (Cookie Segelstein, Joshua Horowitz, and Stuart Brotman) has extensive experience with such groups as the Klezmatics, Kapelye, Brave Old World, the Klezmorim and others. On their self-titled debut album the group's musical choices, whether raw, serene, or mournful, are mostly brief, over half of the 30 tracks being less than two minutes long. One selling point that makes this stand out from other Jewish albums is that the tunes, many of which had never been recorded until now, are played on 19th century versions of such instruments as violin, viola, two tsimbls (Jewish hammered dulcimer), button accordion and several other old and seldom heard instruments. The 34-page booklet features interesting essays by the musicians, one of which is a fascinating 12-page resolution of the perennial age-old riddle of which came first, the chicken or the egg.

This wasn't supposed to happen.
Yes, Phil Mickelson was installed as the second favourite behind Tiger Woods coming into Open Championship week, but that was mostly because of a win the week prior against a lesser quality field in Scotland at Castle Stuart, a course that several players, Graeme McDowell most notably, decided to avoid as they declared it not being good preparation for the Open.
Golf has always been a game about comfort, whether we're talking about a swing, apparel or a course. Every player has favourite and least favourite venues. Woods has won eight times at Torrey Pines, Steve Stricker loves TPC Deere Run and Mickelson hates links golf. In 19 previous Opens, Mickelson had finished inside the top-10 only twice, an astonishingly low number considering his vast skill set, and it's something he's well aware of too, noting that he's just never seemed to figure it all out.
But this was a different Mickelson, he claimed, in the lead up to the event. After he won at Castle Stuart, he said he felt more confident than ever before when it came to links golf and that he had actually learned a thing or two. He was going to be smarter, a huge departure for the man who once said that "a great shot is the one you pull off, and a smart shot is the one you hit when you don't have the guts to try it." So, the driver was out of the bag this week. With the distance he'd get from his 3-wood and the run from the rock hard fairways, he wouldn't need it anyway he said.
After his third round on Saturday, Mickelson told ESPN's Tom Rinaldi that he thought even par would win the tournament outright, with 1-over forcing a playoff. To do that, he'd need either a 69 or 70, as he entered Sunday's final round five shots back of England's Lee Westwood.
A few weeks ago, it was Mickelson who held a lead at a major heading to Sunday, carrying a one-shot advantage over Hunter Mahan, Charl Schwartzel and Stricker at his country's national championship at Merion. That lead would eventually be lost as another Englishman, Justin Rose, triumphed for his first major win.
Mickelson started solidly on Sunday, playing the front nine in 2-under par, which put him right in the mix, especially after Westwood went out in 38 with one birdie and three bogeys on the front. Challengers came and went, all big names too, with Woods, Adam Scott, Hunter Mahan, Henrik Stenson and Ian Poulter all threatening, but Mickelson remained constant, even after a bogey on the par-4 10th.
With Poulter already in the clubhouse at 1-over par, Mickelson had a number that he knew he had to top. Birdies came on 13 and 14, and just as importantly, no dropped shots through a stretch of holes that had been making the best players in the world look like a bunch of weekend hackers.
Mickelson saved par again on 17, heading to the final hole at 2-under par. Those contenders mentioned earlier? Muirfield's howling winds, deep pot bunkers, thick fescue and baffling greens eliminated all of them. Save for that bogey on 10, Mickelson avoided those same pitfalls, playing the course like the smart tactician that he's always claimed he could be.
He stepped to the 18th tee, two shots clear of his nearest competitor. Talk of the U.S. Open at Winged Foot in 2006 started up. Back then, Mickelson needed just a par to win his first U.S. Open, and he decided to hit driver from the tee. It went so far left that he drilled the hospitality tents, and then made it even worse when his second shot hit a tree, only advancing the ball 25 yards. He would later call himself an idiot in the post-tournament press conference, knowing that it was a mental error that cost him the tournament. There would be none of that on Sunday.
He took out his Phrankenwood, yes, that's what they call it, and split the fairway. His approach into the green kicked off the mound guarding a greenside bunker, landing his ball about twelve feet from the cup for birdie. He stepped up and knocked it in, raising his arms in victory and embracing his caddie, Bones, who was in tears. There were still players on the course, but they were too far behind. It was over. Phil Mickelson had won the Open Championship.
After the round, Mickelson spoke with Rinaldi again, talking about the way he went around the course, doing his best to avoid certain areas that would leave him in tough spots. He knew about the bunker on 17 that cost Paul Azinger the win in 1987, giving it to Nick Faldo who made eighteen pars for the victory. He knew that links golf is sometimes more about what you avoid than what you hit. This really was a different guy. It may have taken him twenty years, but he figured it out.
Mickelson was supposed to win his first major much earlier in his career, but he didn't. He was supposed to win a U.S. Open by now, but he hasn't. He probably should have been the number one player in the world at some point, but that hasn't happened either. The best thing about Phil Mickelson is that we never know what to expect. Five major championship wins later, he's still leaving everyone guessing, himself included.
Phil Mickelson winning the Open Championship wasn't supposed to happen, but with him, we really shouldn't have expected anything else.

Born in Paris and raised in Los Angeles, the sultry and curvaceous woman now known as Natasha Nice must've seemed like most other good looking European-American women, but inside she was hiding a lust for sexual adventure that could only be satisfied by entering the adult hardcore industry. Now a five-year veteran after starting at just 18-years-old, Natasha Nice offers her fans an up-close look at some of her most powerful work. With promises of HD videos that show Natasha's naughty and nice sides in equal measure, this, her only online home, makes for a truly tantalizing proposition.
With twelve AVN Awards under her belt, Asa Akira is now a bona fide porno superstar and one with her very own website, to boot! Asa Akira (the site) tempts Asa's fans with promises of supremely hardcore sex. Boldly listing her favorite position as "double penetration" Asa is a ravenously horny and endlessly kinky woman and her site caters to her particular tastes by serving up anal, DP, DAP, and even anal fisting scenes. Asa's not just a rampant pole-riding cum-chugger, though, she also enjoys the odd sapphic romp with an equally sexy co-star. Although it certainly has a number of issues preventing it from reaching the pinnacles of success recently attained by its subject, Asa Akira dot com is nonetheless worthy of consideration and could be exactly the site to put your Asa addiction over the edge.
Do smoking hot women with large breasts, plenty of tattoos, a few piercings, and a craving for deep, hard, long bouts of ferocious fucking make you salivate? Well, friend, it looks like Big Boobs Are Cool might just be the Burning Angel site for you. With supremely stacked alt.porn hotties gracing its 20-odd scenes, Big Boobs Are Cool presents typical Burning Angel-style sex (that is: incredibly hot and kinda punk rock) but focuses on everyone's favorite female body part: boobs.
When a site calls itself Gigantic Natural Breasts, there's no mistaking what's inside. Tits. Big, huge, gargantuan, enormous fucking tits. The kind of tits that need expensive custom ordered bras and nightly deep tissue massages. The kind that cause horrendous back pain to the barer. Tits so big you'll stare, mouth agape, at these inhumanly oversized mammarian oddities. Tits so ridiculously large you'll promptly hand over your credit card information to a just to ogle them some more.

A site with limited appeal but apparently nothing even resembling shame or embarassment, Femdom Strapon & Fisting comes right out and tells you where its focus lies: in dominant women subjecting their slaves to anal penetration from strapped-on dildos, hand-held plugs, and, naturally, a few well lubricated fists. Femdom Strapon & Fisting might not be the most sophisticated extreme kink site on the 'net, nor is it likely to keep you entertained for longer than a week or impress you with its stunningly sexy dommes, but it's nothing if not intriguing.

Those of you who've kept your physical loving within your own racial community are really missing out on a world of pussy that's to hot to ignore. Take the African American girls of Black GFs, for example. With thick thighs, phat asses, and curvy, athletic bodies, they're beasts in the sack and show little hesitation in shooting homemade porno as hardcore as anything the ass-fucking mainstream deals in. Just like navigating your first interracial relationship, Black GFs isn't entirely smooth sailing, though, so why not take some free advice from your pal Pink?
Any adult website titled 'Fun Movies' is bound to attract plenty of attention, especially with tour pages filled with naked women and men cavorting in groups on living room floors. If it's not the only Austrian amateur hardcore site on the 'net, it's one of very, very few, but Fun Movies is as Austrian as the Von Trapp family and as kinky as Ava Devine's filthy, filthy mind. It'll be fun here, I'm sure of it.
It's hard enough trying to figure out how women think about everyday trifles, but when it comes to sex it's near impossible. That is, unless you take the opportunity to peek inside the wantonly slutty all-girl world of Hungarian sexpot Sandy. Sandy's Fantasies, a DDF Network site with an exclusive collection of sapphic sex and solo masturbation content. Sandy may have vanished a few years ago, but that doesn't make her site worthless… does it?

The Journey to Kenya
An airborne view of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, from the Kenyan Airlines jet I took to Kenya.
One of a few volcanoes I spotted from the jet, not too far south of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. You can see a lot of extremely old volcanoes on the flight down south until you hit the Great Rift Valley.
This is a shot of the Great Rift Valley's edge. Honestly, it's hard for anything short of a satellite shot to give you a good sense of its immensity. Eventually, the Horn will break off from the continent and will be set adrift, but that's a very long time into the future.
I gave a speech at the Kenyan National Defense College -- they gave me that aforementioned coin with the new command shield engraved on it in return. This is a shot of the student body -- generals from all over Africa but heavily slanted, naturally, to the Kenyan military. By the time the room filled up, there were about fifty in all. The senior Kenyan military chiefs I spoke with before the talk eventually took seats in the back row on the right, along with the commander and deputy of Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa, or CJTF-HOA for short. They thought it was pretty funny to see me taking shots of the audience.
This is my hotel room at Safari Park in Nairobi, Kenya. It was closed to U.S. personnel for a few weeks due to terror concerns and was just reopened for HOA use the week I arrived. It's much nicer than Lemonier quarters and even had a can of Raid in the closet, which I much appreciated.

Going Back in Time at Everglade City's Rod and Gun Club
Our mission today was to leave our anchorage in Russell Pass somewhat early in the morning and head over to Everglades City (located along the Barron River on the boundary of Everglades National Park), about a seven mile run. We've been hearing about the Rod and Gun Club since our first Great Loop boat trip in 2005. We never quite made it there during our other two trips through the Everglades due to an unalterable schedule. One of the nice things about having a trailerable trawler is you can get to places quickly with a lot of flexibility.
The club has ample docking all along the front of the club. We tied up just as the restaurant was opening for lunch. Lots of room for more boaters on this long dock.
Of course we had to check out the boat ramp while we were there (above-left)
As we were leaving Rich and Cheryll, on another Ranger Tug called Roam (above), passed us on their way to Everglade City. It's a small world. Although we've been in communication with each other we hadn't seen them since we left Fort Myers Beach last week. We plan to meet up again soon in Marathon. We also passed this tour boat on our way back to Goodland.

Recently bought a LaserMax Uni-Max Laser for mounting under the front slide of my Sig Pro 2022. I can't seem to find a holster to fit this configuration & all my other holsters stop at a full insertion.
Any ideas are welcome...I would like a paddle holster with forward cant, but will be happy with anything that works while concealed!
Thanks for any help!,

My son Matthew Medina who has lived in Las Vegas nevada since getting out of prison 6 yeats ago, will be starting your program Hope for Prsoners . He will be going to orientation on April 29. I came out to see him for a month and while I was there through Catholics Services I was told about your program. He signed up for the program and for the first time in years I saw a glimmer of Hope in his eyes. I have never Prayed as much for Matthew to keep his Faith in God because all things truly are possible in God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit! I have explained that God is always listening but but it is He's plan in His time . So be patient!!!!!! When it came time for me to come home to Ohio, I felt a reassurance that Matthew was in good hands with God and the Hope of your program. Thank You and all the people who have dedicated their lives to the people who only need for someone to believe in them again!!!!!! God Bless all of You! Jeannie and Chris ( a mom and dad who refuse to give up)

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Raisin!
Facts about Raisin
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Black (All)
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Raisin's Info...
I am already neutered, a special needs pet, in need of an experienced adopter, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with cats.
Raisin, oh Raisin. Everybody loves Raisin. It's true. He's a volunteer favorite. While he may look like a big rough and tough guy, Raisin is actually very sweet. The majority of his time is spent cuddled up with fellow FIV resident, Susy. Yes, Raisin is FIV positive. FIV is a disease that only cats can get, and it is spread through bite wounds, mating and from mom to baby. Typically, FIV positive cats can live with negative cats, but in Raisin's case, he should probably be with other FIV positive cats, or by himself. Another docile cat, like Susy, would suit him well, as he is the big kahuna. Raisin would make an excellent couch buddy, as he likes to lounge and rest, and loves to be pet. Older children and a more quiet household would do best for him. Come in and meet Raisin!
Other Pets at Branford Compassion Club
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Raisin, a North Branford Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in North Branford, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in North Branford.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in North Branford already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a North Branford breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in North Branford paves the way for another one to be saved.

It's hard trying to find a fun quirky design that will appeal to multitude of people. The pistachio container will appeal to gamers and posh people alike, with its pistachio-shaped container that resembles a pale skinny Pac-Man.
The nut-designed holder has the same characteristics of an actual pistachio, except for being edible. Just like a pistachio the container can be split into two trays that can conveniently store all those pistachio nuts.The container isn't just designated for pistachio nuts, but also for other small nuts that might fit in the container.
With designers taking inspiration from objects such as nuts, it makes you wonder about what other food items in the produce section they'll used to create another food-shaped container.

House girds for second try on financial rescue (AP)
So now it goes down to the House of Commons, where all the principled right-wingers who voted against the first package, can now explain their desire to see a way more bloated, ridiculous bill pass. Yeah, that should be real fun. No doubt the Republican leadership Boehner and the other guy and Cantor are going to have one hell of a time whipping their base on this one. We're not convinced it passes.
Futures pull back after Senate bailout plan vote (AP)
2008 Presidential Election Winner (Intrade)
Now this is starting to hold fairly steady — McCain has stayed at around .35 on the dollar for awhile, as his chances slip away every day the Iraq War is not the central issue of the election. That being said, we've totally bought into the "Palin can't lose" notion for tonight's debate. You know, cause of lowered expectations. It also signals what media wonks we are. As soon as we're done with this, flippin' over to some MSNBC.
UBS Has `Small' Profit, Reduces Mortgage Holdings (Bloomberg)
We wish we could say this felt like an "end of the tunnel" moment. But unfortunately it feels more like a "cracks in the tunnel" moment, and the light is shining in where it shouldn't be. Anyway, UBS (UBS!) actually reported a profit. Not a profit once you factor out the losses, but a small, sliverish profit. Ostensibly that means they ended the quarter with more money than they started with. The company said it's reduced its exposure to the US mortgage market. It was UBS' first profitable quarter in over a year. Sidenote: despite all of this, more layoffs are still coming.

Most Asian markets recover on hopes for US bailout (AP)
Really, do we even need a bailout anymore? We had an awesome day yesterday, the Asian markets did great last night, consumer sentiment is back on track, the rate of home price declines is slowing, and Christmas shopping is right around the corner. It's starting to look like we can just tighten the belts, get a few folks to stay in their homes, and then that $700 billion can be used on other stuff. Like bombers and spaceships and weird science projects. Or even just dedicate it directly to inflation, with no specific purpose. By the way, October already? Really?
U.S. Stock Futures Drop on Economy Concern; GE, Citigroup Fall (Bloomberg)
On the other hand, we may not be able to follow through. After paring some losses yesterday, today might be about paring that paring. It's all very geometric and Fibonacci. Still, nothing too major or drastic at this point. Just like a percent or so for the major indices.
WWE Maintains High Dividend Yield
Some vital info here: World Wrestling Entertainment would like you to know that it won't be chopping its dividend anytime soon. Got that? Some weaker companies, like banks, can do whatever they want, saving their money for purposes of capital preservation. But not so the WWE. If it may say so itself, in an actuall press release that came out last night: "The more than 9% dividend yield on WWE stock is 280% higher than the S&P average. WWE considers itself a safe harbor in the current volatile marketplace." From their lips to god's ears.
Futures indicating rebound after historic sell-off (RTT News)
Oh, see. We're still here. The world hasn't gone anywhere. In fact the stock market is looking up this morning. A few hundred points. Sure it's just a sliver of what we lost yesterday. But did any banks fail last night? (Don't answer). Seriously though, Wall Street better cut out this "buying" stuff if it wants a deal to happen (just kidding!). Of course, others will say that the market is only up on high expectations of a deal. See: Next story.
Senate May Try to Revive Bank-Rescue Bill by Tomorrow (Bloomberg)
Ah, the swift discipline of the markets. Despite the "death" of the bailout bill, the Senate plans to vote on something tomorrow, and pundits increasingly expect a deal by the end of the week. Basically, conviction is one thing, but it's no match for diminished 401(k)s.
Market Drop Pressures Hedge Fund Managers (WSJ)
As part of that ideological gun being held to dissenting Republicans was the threat of end-of-quarter hedge fund redemptions, triggering a "cascade" of selling. Well, we're getting to the end of the quarter here, so we'll see if there's anything to it. Though we can confirm to you that some dude on CNBC just said he didn't think it was a real big deal.
2008 Presidential Election (Intrade)
Besides stocks, the other big loser in the markets was McCain. He's not at 37 cents on the dollar. And just look at the state-by-state map. He's basically losing everything that might be considered a tossup, from Florida to Ohio. We're talking Reagan-Monday here. Ok, not that bad. Prediction: This will tight up. Were we betting, we'd be more bullish on McCain's chances.
World markets fall as US bailout seen taking time (AP)
Look, we're going to pass it, alright. Just hold your horses, and stop it with these nightly selloffs. We're spending like $1 trillion of our own money here. And it's pretty much a done deal. And after that the markets will be stablized. Pressuring us into passing it faster by selling off each night isn't going to help. Unless. Unless the market is saying that even a bailout won't help matters. Eh. Nah.
Credit Crunch Squeezes Franchisees (WSJ)
Sorta gotta feeling that the "Credit Crunch Squeezes _________" article could be a staple of business journalism for a while. You can pretty much fill in the blank with whomever you like: shipbuilders, farmer, sommeliers, basketball players, whoever. Anyway, today its franchisees, of all people.
Merkel's Bavarian Allies Lose 50-Year Grip on Power (Bloomberg)
A little politics note that has nothing to do with the two candidates here: Angela Merke's conservative majority in Germany has suffered a major blow, losing its grip on parliament. The news comes as the German economy (and the rest of Europe) pretty much goes to the tank. All around the world, parties in change are going to get whacked.
2008 Presidential Election Winner (Intrade)
And on the domestic politics front, Barack Obama now holds decisive leads in the polls and in the Intrade market he's up almost 60-40. So, two questions then: What's the October surprise, and how does he inevitably blow it? And if you really love the "Mac" here's William Kristol on how he can revive his campaign. We're not convinced that the answer is really "straight talk".
Wild day, no deal (Politico)
We're still really confused by what's going on. They keep saying the deal is dead (fair enough), but it's the Republican reps who are recalcitrant, but the Democrats have enough votes to pass it on their own, right? So why don't the Dems — if they believe in it — just pass the damn thing. You know, man up. Anyway, apparently Treas. Sec. Hank Paulson actually got down on one knee in front of Speaker Pelosi. How odd.
Asian markets drop amid reports of U.S. bailout plan stalling (CBC)
Yeah, nobody in any market is going to be happy for awhile until they just go ahead and do something. Asian markets fell last night, as it became obvious that they're farther away from a deal now than they have been yet. It's a good thing McCain suspended his campaign, so politics wouldn't interfere. That sounds sarcastic, though actually, we're happy that they haven't ramrodded some nonsense through all the name of bipartisanship, and the need to wreck the rule of law in times of crisis.
Sarkozy Stresses Global Financial Overhaul (NYT)
The Europeans are LOVING all of our problems, which is fine, since we've been known to laugh at them from time to time. Like, did you know that in Germany, because of socialized medicine, some dentists office have equipment from the 70s? HAHAHA. Anyway, Sarkozy says the age of global unregulated markets was over. Good for him. Also in Germany, a Minister said the age of "Anglo-Saxon banking" with its "fixation on returns" is over.
Money-Market Rates Rise Globally as U.S. Talks on Bailout Stall (Bloomberg)
Of course, they're having their own problems over there, in the land of the Third Way. Interbank lending rates in Europe have spiked to their highest rate since the Euro was formed. One analyst called it a total breakdown of interbank lending. It's like Warren Buffett said on CNBC the other day: The economy is like a bathtup: Can't have warm water in the back and cold up front.
Survivor: theoretical physics (Information Processing)
Wall St. has long been a home to physicists that are more interested in dollars than reconciling quantum and astro physics. So with Wall St. jobs growing scarce, will we suddenly get some breakthroughs in the realm of the theoretical physics? It seems tough. Positions are still hella scarce — particularly the cushy tenure track ones at prestigious universities. A hedge fund still seems like a more promising career choice, after reading this.
Beavers ride Rodgers' 186 yards to stunner over No. 1 Trojans (ESPN)
One word: Awesome. One other word: Hook 'em.
General Electric revises 3Q, full-year outlook (AP)
It's a good thing they're on the no short list, cause GE has just lowered its quarterly and full year outlook. The predictable reason: gyrations in the financial market. The good news though, GE says it's committed to maintaining its AAA credit rating — so presumably it won't be reluctant to raise capital at the first signs of rain.
Buffett Drove Hard Bargain With Goldman (WSJ)
Oh gosh, the Buffett the mythology lives on: "For six months, as the credit crisis deepened, billionaire investor Warren Buffett turned away a string of Wall Street firms that came hat in hand looking for help. On Tuesday, Mr. Buffett says, he was sitting with his feet on his desk in Omaha, drinking a Cherry Coke and munching on mixed nuts, when he got an unusually candid call from a Goldman Sachs Group Inc. investment banker." Really? Like, really? He was actually drinking Cherry Coke, his beloved soft drink, right when they called? It's only surprising that he wasn't eating See's candies as well, but then that would've just been too ridiculous.
Initial Thoughts On MySpace Music (AVC)
Fred Wilson's been advocating music sharing and social discvoery services for long than anyone, so he's as good a person as any to give his impression of the new MySpace Music, which just launched last night — going head to head with Apple, and other big music sites. We saw a demo, it looks potentially interesting, but obviously we'll need to sing our teeth in it some more, to know.
Marc Faber: 14% S&P 500 Rally Post-Paulson (Paul Kedrosky)
It sounds like Mr. Gloom, Boom, Doom, is predicting a short end to the gloomb, a decent-sized boom… but then a return to doom (that's always how it is in th end). Should the Paulson plan go through (and it probably will… now that McCain is coming back to Washington, the Dems want to rush it through so it can't look like he's taking credit), he's predicting a 14 percent S&P 500 rally. Not sure where he pulls that number out of, but doesn't really matter? Doom lies just beyond that.
Short-Sale Ban Fails to Save Ambac, Farmer Mac From 50% Plunge (Bloomberg)
Yep, even with the no shorting rule, some financials have been getting absolutely crushed, Farmer Mac chief among them. It's just the curse of the Macs really. Nothing can save 'em. Ambac though, we were sure they were strong and can't believe that the stock might actually be falling on fundamentals.
Asian Markets Are Jittery as US Bailout Doubts Persist (CNBC)
By jittery, the article must mean "not every single stock on the market soared", cause for the most part, it seems the Warren Buffett injection actually brought some cheer to the other side of the earth. Financial shares were up, and generally the indexes ended in the green. In Europe it sounds like stocks are up marginally.
Pickens Funds Down About $1 Billion (WSJ)
Spending too much time filming commercials advocating wind? Apparently T. Boone Pickens hasn't done so well at his fund, having lost $1 billion on the steep decline in energy. Personally, he's lost $270 million, and he admits that this is his worst run in 10 years. Like many money losers, Pickens has an explanation for the decline in energy that makes him feel better: "I'm not willing to accept that [the downturn] was due to a global slowdown" reducing energy demand, he says. "When there's deleveraging in markets it will affect everything." We've all been there on that one.
Exec pay limits gain support as bailout questioned (AP)
We'll see if this is just posturing, or if this is something the Dems are really able to stick with. The opposition is right, but you still have a hard time making the case politically that firms who might be dead but for the largesse of the American taxpayer, ought to be paying multi-million bonuses to top brass. In the end, it's hard to see something like this going through. But it's also hard to see a plan going through that doesn't have a lot of strings. And it's also hard to see a plan not going through at all. So there you go.
China Withdraws Milk as Fonterra Decries Sanlu Delay
There's some joke in here about China scrambling to withdraw tainted milk and comparing it to money market redemptions. At the moment, we don't know what that joke is, exactly. Too early.
Weakest holiday sales since '02 seen (CNNMOney)
Well this is really predictable… The National Retail Federaton predicts weak holiday growth this year, just 2.2 percent. Hey at least it's up. But apparently it usually grows by about 4.4 percent per year. Growth of 2.2 percent would represent the most anemic growth since 2002. And realistically, with these things, doesn't the final number usually come in weaker than all the forecasts. At least gas prices might be down (well, before yesterday they might've been).
Bristol-Myers launches sweetened bid for ImClone (AP)
At least someone out there is getting paid. It's not anyone you or we know, but rather some folks working for and investing biotech ImClone, which so far has successfully resisted a takeover attempt from Bristol-Myers. It's paid off at this point, as the big drugmaker upped its offer from $60 to $62. That being said, ImClone claims it has an offer of $70 out on the table from some unspecified gentleman caller.
How close was the financial system to melting down? (Megan McArdle)
Remember last Thursday night? When Senators and Congressman got to meet with Bernanke, Paulson and Cox? Apparently their jaws just dropped, though it was never completely clear what was said at the meeting. Well it was probably something like this. Though we're still skeptical that armaggedon was truly right around the corner, here's an explanation of how it might have been.
Bailout Prevents Great Depression 2.0 (USNews)
While Megan's post is excellent, this guy explaining how sans-the bailout, we'd have spend $30 trillion, sounds a little more off the rails.
Stocks in Europe, Asia Drop; Barclays, Macquarie, Vedanta Fall (Bloomberg)
Not a good night overseas while you were sleeping, though nothing to get too worked up about. Europe slipped a couple of percent (you can't blame 'em, since they were following our lead). Asia fell just .6 percent.

If you are a songwriter who wants to be heard, try out new material or meet people in the industry, writers nights and open mics can be a great place to start. It is not likely there will be publishers, producers and record labels there – they are bombarded with songwriters and singers trying to get to them so they don't usually go out looking for new talent. But if you're good, people will notice and it may lead to introductions. Plus building relationships with other songwriters in the community is an important ingredient of any successful career.
You may be wondering what the difference is between a writers night and an open mic. On this page the term "open mic" to refers to a show you do not have to audition for and that anyone can play. Some of them require advanced sign-up; for others you simply show up that night at the sign-up time. The term "writers night" refers to shows that have a line-up of multiple writers who are scheduled in advance.
When approaching hosts about booking it is important to remember that the clubs are in the business of selling food and drinks, and they rely on the performers to draw an audience. Be prepared that you may have to play open mics or just visit the writers nights and get to know some people before you get booked to play
See the Bluebird page of this website for detailed information about the club.
Monday 6 to 9 PM Open Mic – sign up at 5:30 – come early to get a seat
Sundays 8 PM Writers Night – scheduled by audition only
Tues through Sat – Early shows feature some of the best up-and-coming writers.
Late shows feature hit writers and established bands.
