This is amazing, but Jupiter upside down is not good for astronomy.

This is absolutely amazing; I cannot believe that you can actually see details on the satellites, in addition to noticing the difference in sizes!! Phenomenal image.
Posted 21 January 2012 - 05:39 AM
Is the upside down because you can only see inverted through the eyepiece of a reflector telescope? Anyway the image is simply awesome.This is amazing, but Jupiter upside down is not good for astronomy.

We hit the streets of Hollywood to get fashion advice from ordinary girls with extraordinary style. Watch what happens when we ask four girls to define their look and tell us where they like to shop
First, we talked to Alyssa who described her street style as casual -- she just puts on whatever she can and goes. Her jacket features shoulder pads which Alyssa likes because it gives definition to her sleeves. She also sports some very creative nails and wears a bracelet as a memento of a close friend. Her style advice: be yourself.
Lei's priorities are comfortable, colorful and trendy. She gets inspired by magazines and blogs to mix expensive and affordable pieces, she even made her necklace herself. As a petite person, she stresses the importance of focusing on proportions. Lei's trick for elongating her lower body: skinny jeans.
Taelyr and Monroe are friends who both have serious style. They're are both girly, but Monroe models her look after the pin-ups of years past while Taelyr uses pieces from several different stores, but alters them to fit her. Monroe loves to make fashion her own, customizing her personality along with her style. Monroe's advice: always rock it.

Richard Branson bemoans 'overeducated,' risk-averse entrepreneurs: WikiLeaks
"There is a growing urgency to teach entrepreneurship and innovation that is directly related to the decline of innovation in the American economy," says Dr. Dennis Ceru, who teaches courses on entrepreneurship and business strategy at Babson College in Wellesley, Mass.
"I think Branson's on to something," agrees Jeffrey Bernel, a business owner and professor at Notre Dame's Mendoza College of Business. "Education is really important. On the other hand, if it stifles your creativity and ability to innovate and look deeper into opportunities. It's not good for entrepreneurship."
Branson's off-the-record comments came in January 2008, when he and other high-ranking British businessmen accompanied then-Prime Minister Gordon Brown to Beijing and attended a lunch conference with Chinese businessmen entitled "What Makes a Good Entrepreneur?"
Too afraid of failure?
According to the cable (read here), Chinese participants criticized British entrepreneurs as being "overeducated, too conservative, lacking passion for entrepreneurship, and too afraid of failure."
Branson – who dropped out of school at age 15 but went on to found Virgin Group Limited, a conglomerate of more than 400 companies from Virgin Atlantic airline to Virgin Records music label – agreed with the criticism "that British entrepreneurs are overeducated and that schooling does not prepare one for entering the business world."

VTA Light Rail Now Offering Real-Time Tracking And Mobile Apps
SAN JOSE, Calif. and DURHAM, N.C., Feb. 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Real-time technology is elevating the public transit experience in Santa Clara Valley for almost 11 million light rail riders through a partnership between TransLoc, SinglePoint Communications and Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140219/CL67883-a)
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140219/CL67883LOGO-b)
The addition of real-time transit information through TransLoc allows riders to know the location and arrival time of their train at any point along the route. This puts riders in control of their schedule by minimizing wait time and helping them avoid missing trains. The information can be accessed in real time from a web browser or smartphone using TransLoc's top-rated mobile apps.
"VTA is committed to making light rail a more convenient and compelling alternative to driving, and real-time information helps make our system more accessible to riders," said Bernice Alaniz, VTA communications. "We're dedicating resources on Thursday to help current and future riders learn how TransLoc can help them get where they need to go." In addition to knowing exactly where their train is, riders can now receive alerts when their train is arriving and easily plan around personal schedule changes or non-routine trips. Riders with access to real-time passenger information commonly report improved travel efficiency, ease of use, and feelings of security and trust in the system. The partnership was made possible through VTA's long-term relationship with SinglePoint Communications, which provides high-speed Wi-Fi to VTA light rail, and their existing commitment to their passengers. "We are honored to have worked with VTA since 2011, when our Wi-Fi In Motion Moovbox vehicle connectivity solution was installed throughout their entire fleet of light rail trains and a portion of their buses," said SinglePoint Communications CEO Rob Taylo. "The addition of real-time technology will offer an unprecedented level of convenience and connectivity to VTA riders." To see the real-time data, available for light rail throughout the Santa Clara Valley, visit vta.transloc.com or download the rider app now for iPhone or Android (transloc.com/app).

My host is an out-of-the-box Ubuntu 12.10 simply connected to Wifi.
I installed VirtualBox, and then a few Linux and Windows 7 Pro guests on it, all with default VirtualBox options (NAT).
I reboot them every day.
Yesterday all had network access.
PROBLEM: Today all the Windows guests says "No Internet access".
Linux guests still have network.
As an experiment, I created a new guest VM, installed Windows inside. Result: no network.
All Windows and Linux guests are out-of-the-box, I did no network tweaking whatsoever. Below is their VirtualBox-side network configuration just in case:

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Irrefutable evidence of his death is imperative before one can claim any sort
of victory in the war on terror but this is not the end of the war by any
means if one has to learn anything from the history of Islamic terrorism
throughout the world. To think that America can now just pull out of
Afganistan would be utter naivety. The war is far from won! This can only be
seen as a psycological victory against a very elusive and determined enemy.
Like fighting cancer it requires constant vigilance and attack wherever it
pops up its ugly head. This religious fanatacism will only understand one
thing and that is when the cost of their violence against others is more
expensive than it is worth. Israel and Russia understands this very well
after all their dealings with Islamic terrorists. The American public need to
wake up to the realities on the ground that this is not a utopian world and
that they cannot just ignore this war on terror hoping that it will just go
away. Nothing could be further from the truth. The other erroneous thinking
that the American puplic must learn and accept is that by walking away or
downsizing their efforts against these radicals will stop the war on terror.
They are living in dreamland if this is the way they continue to think. Obama
is learning this fact by being given the facts on the ground as President and
continuing with Pres Bush's strategies of Surge and Escalation. The reality
is there is no other choice. Any backtracking by the American military will
be seen as weakness by the Radicals, which will only embolden them to attack
Americans more. If Osama bin Laden is dead at the hands of the Americans then
they have struck a huge psycological victory and now they must make sure that
they maintain this advantage and keep on stricking at the heart of the
fanatics. Victory in this war will not neccesarily mean Closure but

There was a moment, standing there on Captain Alvaro's boat, The Melmoth, in which Biondetta and I locked eyes. She was defiantly glaring at me, perhaps trying to ward me off by letting me know I was not welcome, but at the same time, deep within the dark brown of her eyes, there was a pleading. Was she telling me to leave or was she asking me? I didn't have time to think about it for very long as the Captain, with his hand still on my shoulder, started pulling me along with him to the front of the boat where Ikemael and the two girls were talking.
"And here is where the party is at!"
The Captain's bellowing voice had the tone of a circus ringleader or a pitchman for an 'As seen on TV' product. He definitely resembled John Waters but he had the feel of some kind of shuckster, a smooth talking gentlemen with a great offer that will only be available for a limited time. He was almost too polite and spoke with a casual formality that seemed more like a presentation and less like conversation.
Ikemael and the two girls, both of whom were now dancing to Kanye's Gold Digger, looked over at us and smiled. Ikemael raised a flute of champagne to greet us and I saw the girls were holding similar flutes and there was a bottle of Dom Perignon off to the side. Obviously our new friends had more refined palates than the Tecate tainted ones we were sporting. Ikemael raised his right hand and the Captain gave him an enthusiastic high-five. During their exchange the other girl, not Ikemael's new love, walked over to me and handed me a flute of champagne brimming over with bubbly.
"You look thirsty, Starbuck."
While I gladly accepted the champagne I cringed slightly at the 'Starbuck.' This Moby Dick routine was getting old. As you may expect, there is another Jackson Panic law dealing with attractive women in bikinis who offer you a flute of Dom Perignon. You graciously accept while allowing her to call you whatever the hell she wants.
This new beauty, wearing only the slightest red and white striped bikini, then took my Tecate from my hand and threw it overboard. We then clinked glasses and took a deep drink of the cold champagne. It clashed momentarily with the residual Tecate lingering in my mouth but the fizzy sweetness then came through and it seemed like the perfect drink for this very moment. The bearer of my champagne was playfully smiling at me from behind the glass she held pressed against her lips.
"Thanks for the drink, but my name is not really Starbuck. It's -"
"It is today, Starbuck. I rather like that name."
There were strong tones of Italian in her accent. The kind that made you think you could listen to her read the dictionary and find it pretty hot. Of course, it helped that she was standing in front of me in a bikini holding a bottle of Dom Perignon and looked damn fine doing it. Fuck it - if she wanted to call me Starbuck then who was I to argue any differently?
"Okay, Starbuck it is, but I didn't catch your name."
"That's because I didn't offer it."
With this she broke into a girlish giggle and took a pull directly from the bottle of Dom and then handed me the bottle, indicating I should do the same. I raised my glass to tell her I had enough of my own but she pushed the bottle playfully into my chest, giving me a look that told me to just do it.
"Forgive Desdemona, young Starbuck, she's lacking a certain sense of refinement. She loves to drink fine champagne but does so like an eighteen year-old girl at a keg party."
The Captain was flashing me his incissor-heavy smile once again, with his cigarette firmly clenched and still dangling an extraordinary amount of ash. I looked back at my new lady-friend.
"Desdemona eh? That's not really one I come across very often."
I then proceeded to drink directly from the bottle myself, a much bigger drink than Desdemona had.
"Well, now you've come across me. Or at least you will if you're lucky."
I admit it - I choked, literally. I coughed up champagne onto the back of my left hand that was holding my flute. My eyes watered up and I felt the champagne seeping down the wrong pipe. My current predicament wasn't eliciting any sympathy from Desdemona though, as I heard her peals of laughter coming from beyond my now blurry vision.
"Careful Desi - you don't want to kill our new friend with champagne."
There was something about the way the Captain said it that I didn't like.
"Are you okay baby?"
Desdemona, or Desi, walked over to me, still giggling, and began rubbing my face.
"Yeah, I just choked a little."
"Here, I'm sorry for making you choke."
With that she gave me a quick kiss on the lips. I would have been more grateful had I not still felt the need to cough and were my eyes not still watering, but the kiss was a nice gesture. She remained close to me as I blinked and sniffled a few times.
"I guess I'm not good at holding my liquor."
"So what are you good at holding?"
It seemed like everything she said was purred forward bursting with double entendre.
"Ah, well, certainly not my own since you definitely got the better of me just then."
"I'll let you in on a little secret, Starbuck. I'm going to get the better of you every time. I always end up on top."
So there I am, a foot away from an attractive woman in a bikini who is feeding me champagne and throwing me lines that carry naughty little promises of promiscuity and the whole thing is playing out next to a group of people who have stopped their conversation and are clearly eavesdropping on ours. I looked past Desi and saw Ikemael, the Captain and the other girl staring at us.
"Do you guys need to be alone? I can take the Captain and Cindy back to our boat if you'd like."
I couldn't do anything but blush. The happy threesome was over there laughing and Desi was amused as well and I felt like an awkward asshole unsure of what to say, which doesn't happen all that often. Desi broke up the stilted moment on my behalf by bending over and picking up a bowl that was sitting off to the side.
"Would you like some pomegranate seeds to go with your champagne? They're the perfect complement."
I am not a huge fan of pomegranate seeds but I was just fucking thankful that we might direct the attention to something else besides my choking on Desi's flirtations. As I was reaching for the bowl, a hand reached past me from behind, grabbing the bowl. I turned around to see Biondetta throwing the bowl overboard. What is it with these people just throwing things into the water?
Biondetta icily glared at me again, "Those things are nasty."
"Biondetta! What on earth are you doing?"
The Captain's voice sounded shrill this time and tinged with an unexpected anger. Biondetta wasn't looking at anyone other than me.
"Believe me, you didn't want any."
"I guess I will take your word on that."
She then turned and walked back to where she had been sunning herself. I pivoted back towards the group and gave them the universal 'what the fuck' look. Our three new friends looked very agitated but Ikemael was his usual self, bordering on cackling.
"What the hell was that?"
The Captain looked at Ikemael and smiled a close-lipped smile, excused himself and walked back to Biondetta, leaving me and Ikemael alone with the girls. Cindy, the one person I had not yet met, then extended her hand.
"Hi, I'm Cindy."
Whereas Desi was clearly from another country and Biondetta and the Captain also seemed foreign, Cindy was without a doubt an American girl. She was tanned, blonde and lacking the subtle beauty of the other two - less mystery but more breasts. I shook her hand and introduced myself.
"So where you girls from?"
Ikemael then slapped me on the back and laughed.
"Good luck with that one brother. I've been trying to get that out of them for ten minutes!"
I felt Desi's arm slink its way around my waist. Quite frankly I didn't care where they were from at this point, though in hindsight I probably should have. Regardless, when you're standing on a gorgeous sailboat drinking Dom Perignon and an attractive woman in a bikini has her arm around you - you don't ask too many questions. That's a Jackson Panic law.
So how did I get from that point, a virtually perfect one, to hovering over a toilet, sweating bullets and hoping I didn't die?

Great palette box. Well designed with glass palette and sliding assembly. Lots of storage space, well crafted, and easy to set up. Only possible disadvantage is the weight; but, that would depend on how it's used. Great alternative to the standard art box.

Everything about it is pleasing to the eye – the scene, the composition, the color, light – it's all too lovely for words.

Additional Information
Sky in search for F1 sponsor to replace Santander
Sky is seeking a sponsor for its Formula 1 coverage to replace last season's sponsor Santander, following the ending of discussions about an extension of the sponsorship.
Santander: Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button in bank's F1 sponsorship ad
The broadcaster struck a six-year deal to broadcast every F1 race in the summer of last year and signed up Santander as the launch partner for its coverage.
Santander has confirmed it has ended discussions about extending its one-year sponsorship deal, which it struck in order to promote its 123 current account.
A Sky spokesperson said: "We have just reached the conclusion of Santander's successful one-year sponsorship of Sky Sports' F1 coverage. Several brands have already approached us about sponsoring next season's coverage, and discussions are ongoing."
Santander claims it will continue to support F1 through its other sponsorship assets. A spokesman cited its existing "multi-year" deals, which span its corporate partnership with Vodafone McLaren Mercedes and sponsorship of Scuderia Ferrari.
The bank will also continue to sponsor individual F1 races next year, including the British, Chinese, German and Spanish Grand Prix.
A Santander spokesman hinted that the UK-based business will continue to use McLaren driver Jenson Button in upcoming advertising campaigns, because the bank "has a track record of using sponsorship assets in advertising and that will continue".
Sky has claimed its F1 coverage had a reach of more than nine million people in the UK last season.

Written on: 15/01/2013
I bought a cata static oven on offer at B&Q and it looked very robust. After a few months though I had problems with regulating the temperature, it overheats and you need to watch your food all the time. The whole oven heats up on the outside so much you cannot even touch the handle or control knobs with your bare hands. I have had an engineer out but now they need more temperature tests and trying to get someone to commit or call you back with a definitive answer is not possible. I am trying to get an address to take this further but again have been unble to get one so continue to phone.

Kings Park & Botanic Garden
Perth's sprawling Kings Park crowns a hilltop of natural bushland on the city's western border. Taking up 1,000 acres (400.5 hectares) of parklands, botanic gardens and bushland, the park was established in 1872.
Western Australia is known for its superb array of wildflowers and flowering trees, and Kings Park is one of the best places in the state to see them.
Visit during September for the spring wildflower display, or year round to take the elevated Federation Walkway across the treetops.
Take a free guided walk, or follow the signs to see the state's iconic trees, including karri, jarrah, native Christmas trees and pines. The restaurants, cafes and kiosks in the park offer a range of meals and refreshments to recharge your batteries.
Practical Info
Free buses run to Kings Park from the city center, or you can walk there in around 15 minutes via St. George's Terrace.

I'm a beginner brewer looking for some advice on a recipe. In the joy of Home Brewing book there is a recipe for a Weizenbier. It calls for 6.6#'s of 1/2 n 1/2 wheat/barley syrup 3/4 oz hallertauer hops German Wheat beer yeast 3/4 cups DME Just wondering if I should be adding any kind of grains to this recipe such as wheat malt or malted barley. Seems like every other recipe I see has some kind of grains in it. Any information would be helpful. Thanks!
Cheers! J.R.
I'd go with Papazian's recipe if you have the means, he seems to know what he's talking about. That being said, use your imagination. Go to howtobrew.com and learn what all the specialty grains do, and use Papazian's recipe as a base and make what you feel like! Try beerrecipes.org there are lot's of ideas there.
Once the wind has been broken, it cannot be fixed.
check out the BYO site like posted above and look at the grains and yeasts strains to get an idea. Another place I like to go for a bit of help on what I may want to use is http://hbd.org/recipator/
What he means is the 6.6 lbs refers to 2 - 3.3 lb cans of Wheat malt at 50/50 mixture (50 wheat/50 barley). Those cans are the grains...in a different medium - syrup. Your recipe is already pre-determined by using the canned liquid malt.
The yeast I just used for my wheat is Hefeweizen ale yeast WLP300 and it worked out real good. Fermentated out wel and has the traditional wheat haze.
Whether you want to add grain to this batch in lieu of LME is up to you. The recipe you posted is a classic all-extract version. If you go partial grain or mini mash or all grain will be your decision, any will make a great beer. Traditional hefeweizens are 50% malted wheat, 50% malted two row barley, with very light hopping and a special yeast to give the clove/banana esters. Ferment warm to bring out the esters if you like them. Mike
That recipe looks pretty good...I recently did an all-grain hefe that was essentially the same...nothing more than pilsner malt and wheat with hallertau hops. You wouldn't need to steep any grains at all to do the same recipe with extract. I would go for 4.5 AAU's of the hops as opposed to a concrete weight measure as the alpha acids change from crop to crop. Just divide 4.5 by the alpha acid % of your hallertau hops and that will give you the ounces you need. That will basically be a clone of Weihenstephaner Hefeweizen. The other thing I would note is that the 3/4c DME is not nearly enough to carbonate 5g in bottles. I would bump that to 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 c DME for priming as hefe's are generally very well carbonated.
thanks for all of the information, helped a lot. it's great to have a forum like this to find good information
OP - how did your wheat beer turn out? I've been thinking about trying the same recipe.

June 29 (Bloomberg) -- Mauritius's State Trading Corp. plans to invest more than $200 million in a new oil terminal to build the country's reserves and service both the region and maritime traffic, Chief Executive Officer Megh Pillay said.
"Our current reserve for gasoline, for example, is merely one week's demand between two shipments," Pillay said by phone yesterday. "The government does not want to see a piecemeal approach to such investments."
The Indian Ocean island nation, with a population of 1.3 million people, will need 1.23 million metric tons of petroleum products, including 270,000 tons of jet fuel and 460,000 tons of fuel oils in the year through July. It consumes an average of 65,000 tons of liquefied petroleum gas annually, the STC, which also imports cement and rice, said on its website.
The initial phase of the project, approved by the government, will require investment of about $45 million, Pillay said. Two hectares of land (four acres) have been secured for the terminal near the harbor in the capital, Port Louis, close to the new oil jetty.
"Mauritius remains the major consumer and buyer of fossil fuels and LPG in the region," Pillay said. "It thus can influences final price by achieving economies of scale in freight, which represents a major cost component."
The Port Louis-based STC issued an international tender on June 27 for expressions of interest by companies to advise on a plan to address "basic strategic and operational requirements and take advantage of trade opportunities," Pillay said. The open bidding process will close on July 25.
The STC has a three-year agreement with India's Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Ltd. for its fuel requirements, expiring in July 2013.

Hi- we planted a bunch of salvia may nights pretty late in the season last year (very close to winter).. all of our plants have madew it except for this one it seems. They were pretty small in size but I don't see them anywhere where we put them.. Are they dormant at this time of year or can I assume they are dead? I live in DC area- zone 6. Please share any experience if small plants crop up later on (?) since I want to fill that area (I hope they are not dead).
Thank you so much, Laura |
Follow-Up Postings:
I did the same thing a few years back when they were dirt cheap late in the season. I lost all of them. I think mine didn't have enough time to settle and establish and then I think the damp winter took care of them. You should have something growing there by now, if not, I think there are dead. Sorry.

Hello all, this is my first attempt at a post, so figured I would share some work ive been doing on a bar for my buddies and I to drink at this summer! Well to start I recently finished college, and found myself with a surplus of time while looking for a job... Thus far this has been the result of said excess time on my hands (and of course my old man being willing to let me build a bar up in his 200 year old barn!) so here it goes First task was to rip out the old floor that had rotted away to alomst nothing (saved the old board for later in the project) Then had to rip out an old beam that was rotten and cut/put in a new one (this was a hell of a task) Then Dragged some logs from the bush to fix the floor And took them to a rather dodgy sawmill, hahaha. Great guy, but he is crazy (72 years old and crawling around a 54" diameter open blade)
And now, some more stages of the bar construction! After a day at the sawmill this is what my buddy (pictured) and I ended up with Then we took it home and screwed it all down to the beams! now the real fun begins My brother in law and myself roughed in some new vertical and horizontal beams to build the bar around Next was framing in the bar, and getting the fridge in and level..... no easy task (apparently builders were less then concerned with squareness and level 200 years ago) This is where the old floor board that had been stripped of nails came back into play, were using it to cover the front of the bar to stick with the barn theme
Very Nice look forward to more photos! What size fridge are you using?
Sorry but here is where the pictures of every stage stop, there will be some large gaps between stages (we were going hard at it all weekend and little time for photo-ops) Its really starting to come together now, Well the front is now covered and the top plywood base for the bar top is on, Sink area tiled in and sealed Lights and wiring all installed and pine up on walls Same as before, but a different angle At this stage I also decided I wanted to build a coffin box, but didn't take many pictures of the process, none the less here it is assembled and almost ready to get stained and lacquered That is going to be it for a few days as far as pictures go, going to be working up there hard and hoping to have the bar done and the coffin box mounted by Sunday so the coffee porter, wheat beer and pilsner I have carbonating right now can get pouring!
great work!!!
This looks awesome! what are you going to do to the bar top? not leave it as plywood i hope
Man that id awesome! I cant wait for more updates.

It is well agreed that Jcr and Honda have a great pit system.
But you need riders and a bike.
This years 1000 was billed as the closest ever due to the racing before hand.
Arguably the form of Caselli, Pearson and then bell and henge veld was better than Colton Timmy and Kamo.
Colton was a standout. He rode the wheels off the bike to build and maintain a lead.
According to that completely unreliable crappy tool called the Internet, Timmy had been spending weeks pre running the night section at night.
For him to put time into the night master in henge was unbelievable.
Ktm have been trying to get Baja for a decade now. They just can't crack it.
What's incredible is the privateer Kawi team - bell is an awesome rider and they were the real contenders to dethrone the 450x.

Dear Reader,
Short and sweet here. We're not gold bugs, in the sense of gold being the only thing we care about. We do, however, still see gold as an absolutely essential wealth preservation vehicle. We also see more upside in precious metals stocks as a class than almost anything else in the financial world.
That said, various indicators are still bearish for gold in the very near-term, so we've recommended more GLD puts as "insurance" for the downside, and are looking for opportunities to diversify. We've written about platinum and palladium as vehicles for doing so before, but now the upside in both is looking increasingly imminent.
Jeff Clark has an update on the "other" precious metals below. Whether or not you want our recommendations on how to play it, the analysis should help guide and support your investment strategy.
Good hunting,
Louis James

Can you name a commodity that's currently in a supply deficit—in other words, production and scrap material can't keep up with demand? How about two?
If you find that difficult to answer, it's because there aren't very many.
When you do find one, you might be on to a good investment—after all, if demand persists for that commodity, there's only one way for the price to go.
At the end of 2012, the platinum market was in a supply deficit of 375,000 ounces. Much of it was chalked up to the sharp decline in output from South Africa, where about 750,000 ounces didn't make it out of the ground due to legal and illegal strikes, safety stoppages, and mine closures.
The palladium sector was worse: It ended the year with a huge supply deficit of 1.07 million ounces—this, after 2011, when it boasted a surplus of 1.19 million ounces. The huge reversal was due to record demand for auto catalysts and a huge swing in investment demand—going from net selling to net buying in just 12 months.
What's important to recognize as a potential investor is that the deficit for both metals isn't letting up, especially for platinum.
Let's take a closer look…
According to Johnson Matthey, the world's largest maker of catalysts to control car emissions, palladium supply will decline to 6.43 million ounces this year, largely due to lower Russian stockpile sales. But the company claims the decline will be made up by a 7.4% increase in recycling.
Ha. Projections on scrap supply are almost always wrong. Analysts said in early 2012 that supply from recycling would grow 10-12% that year—but it declined by 4%.
There are critical issues with scrap this year, too, especially with platinum…
Some of these declines are offset by scrap from auto catalysts in the US, but this obviously hasn't made up for all of it.
Platinum demand is driven mostly by the automotive industry and jewelry, which account for 75% of world demand. What happens in these two sectors has a significant impact on the metal.
We'll let you draw your own conclusions from the data…
The Cars
The Politicians
Both platinum and palladium will benefit from new regulations that take effect in 2014 in Europe and China:
The Investors
NewPlat, a platinum exchange-traded fund, launched in South Africa on April 26 and has already seen an inflow of 600,000 ounces through the end of September. This unprecedented surge is expected to lift platinum investment demand by 68% to a record 765,000 ounces.
The Jewelers
Jewelry is the second-largest use for platinum, representing 35% of overall demand.
China dominates this market, and demand has doubled in the past five years. According to ETF Securities, China is well on its way to make up around 80% of total platinum jewelry sales in 2013—their report calls Chinese platinum demand "a new engine of growth."
Johnson Matthey expects the interest for platinum jewelry to soften in China this year. However, a recent article in Forbes suggests the opposite may be happening:
A good proxy for Chinese platinum jewelry demand is the volume of platinum futures traded on the Shanghai Gold Exchange. Average daily platinum volume on the exchange in 2013 is running near 45% above 2012 levels, recently reaching a new record high this year.
Another indicator of Chinese platinum jewelry demand is China platinum imports. The latest data on China platinum imports for September showed the highest level since March 2011 at 10,522 kilograms (or approximately 338,300 ounces).
And this from International Business Times…
Net platinum inflows into China hit their highest levels in two and a half years … China's net imports of platinum rose by 11%, to hit almost 70 metric tons for the first three quarters in 2013, higher than the 62 metric tons from the same period last year.
Overall, platinum demand is expected to be greater than ever before, reaching a record 8.42 million ounces this year. And this while supply continues to decline.
This supply/demand imbalance will likely continue for at least several years, perhaps a decade. Prices haven't moved all that much yet, but that doesn't mean they won't. Prices of commodities with a supply/demand imbalance can only stay subdued for so long before reality catches up. Either prices must rise or demand must fall.

China to Start Gold Swaps Trading (Reuters)
The Shanghai-based "China Foreign Exchange Trade System" began gold swaps trading today, November 25. Swaps trading, which gives additional hedging tools to bullion banks, comes in line with other steps China has taken to open up its gold market and increase financial investments. The measures are timely, as the country is set to overtake India as the world's top gold consumer this year. Demand is predicted to reach 1,000 tonnes (32.1 Moz) from gold jewelry, bars, and coins.
Germany Cuts Gold Holdings for Second Time in Five Months (Mineweb)
Germany, the world's second biggest holder of gold reserves, cut its bullion holdings in October for the second time in five months, the latest data from the International Monetary Fund shows. Last month the country sold 3.421 tonnes (0.1 million ounces) and now holds 3,387.247 tonnes (108.9 Moz) of gold in Reserves.
Gold holdings by central banks are closely watched since the official sector became net purchasers in 2010 after two decades as net sellers. Changes in central banks' buying and selling patterns tend to affect global gold prices.
It should be noted, though, that the Bundesbank said it sold the gold for coin minting.
Gold Rush in Space? Asteroid Miners Prepare, But Eye Water First (Reuters)
Could mining in space move from science fiction to commercial reality?
Two companies, Planetary Resources and Deep Space Industries, will launch prospecting missions to passing asteroids within three years. Meteorites—pieces that survive and fall to earth after asteroids disintegrate in the atmosphere—have been found to contain significant amounts of precious metals like platinum, rhodium, iridium, rhenium, osmium, ruthenium, palladium, germanium, and gold.
Some asteroids are very rich in resources. For example, according to estimates by Planetary Resources, some platinum-rich asteroids just 500 meters across could contain more than the entire known reserves of platinum group metals. However, experts say before going for gold or platinum, the mining industry must find the most precious resource of all—water.
Fun to read about, but mining in space is still in a galaxy far, far away.
