Latest Roy Morgan poll shows National Party with 47% support; Labour and Greens both slide
The National Party's inching ever closer to being able to govern the country alone, with its support edging up to 47% from 46.5% in the latest Roy Morgan opinion poll.
The Labour Party on the other hand is continuing its downward trajectory, dropping to 31% from 31.5%, while the Greens, after rising in the previous poll, have slumped to 11.5% from 13%.
The latest poll of 956 electors, conducted by telephone between July 1 and July 14, is the fourth straight poll in which National has improved its rating. It has gained six full percentage points in the past two months from 41% to 47%.
Over the same period Labour, under the beleaguered leadership of David Shearer, has slumped from 35% to 31%.
Among the minor parties, New Zealand First bounced back to 4.5% after dropping sharply to 3.5% in the previous poll. In the wake of co-leader Pita Sharples standing down and the election of Te Ururoa Flavell as new co-leader, the Maori Party enjoyed its best result since April, lifting to 2% support from 1.5%. The Mana Party, likewise, enjoyed a lift in support - up to 1.5% from 1%.
Roy Morgan executive chairman Gary Morgan said the latest poll was "good news" for National.
"[It's] now at its furthest ahead of a potential Labour/ Greens Coalition (42.5%, down 2%) since late February.
"The rise in support for National comes as Prime Minister John Key has thrown the Government's support behind a second Waitemata Harbour Crossing in Auckland and other major Auckland transport projects – which are estimated to cost up to NZ$10 billion."

Morgan noted that Mana Party leader Hone Harawira had once again raised the possibility of a merger between the Mana Party and Maori Party in the wake of Sharples' resignation, if the Maori Party ended its support of National.
"However, Te Ururoa Flavell's election as the new Maori Party co-leader means this is unlikely with the two men both expressing doubts about whether they could work together."

It is about time Labour
It is about time Labour dropped its capital gains tax policy. This silly decision to support caiptal gains tax is eroding Labours chances. When David Cunliffe brought up capital gains tax I warned him clearly that it would mean signing Labour's death warrant. He did not believe me. I predicted that he would need to seek a new job. Sure enough Labour went down the gurgler. Same will happen with David Shearer and David Parker. Stop being foolish and drop capital gains tax. No one wins on a policy platform of taxing an already overtaxed public.
Heck kimy, your vested
Heck kimy, your vested interest is showing. We've got to get some tax out of you somehow. With your negative gearing at 50% do you pay any income-tax at all?
Personally, I support capital
Personally, I support capital gains tax. But NZ has 300k property investors and growing. Most of these are ordinary working people who traditionally support Labour. Each of these investors have at least 5 friends, that makes potentially 1.5million people that would not likely vote Labour because of Capital Gains Tax. Simple mathematices. Labour is shooting themselves in the foot. They need to get rid of the Capital Gains Tax policy or face extinction as a party.
How about I rephrase the
How about I rephrase the question. Would you still undertake your investment program in the way you are doing it if rental losses were quarantined and carried forward each year against future rental profits. Quarantining could be either (a) as an omnibus bulk arrangement by grouping multiple properties by taxpayer, or (b) explicitly quarantined by each unique property.
Of course. It is all about
Of course. It is all about passive rental income to look forward to a comfortable retirement in the future.
animal lover, you can put
animal lover, you can put that across to Labour as an alternative and they can lose more votes. Great suggestions for a National landslide victory next election. You are dreaming if you think National would introduce any form of Capital tax or land tax. Anyway I already pay $40k in rates which is equivalent to land tax. What do you pay? nothing?
Best you get a decent tax
Best you get a decent tax accountant then. Poor fella.
...before you support a CGT
...before you support a CGT go and do some research and find a counrty where it works as intended. You won't.
The cost to the tax authority in chasing such tax is horrendous. This is becasue there are so many ways around it, deferring schemes and so on. That, coupled with the risk involved to Gvt revenue when it is needed (if gains are taxable..losses are deductible...so a property crash = tax losses) makes this one of the worst taxes and full of risk when you look at Auckland!
The IRD already has the ability to tax property developers and so on. This is delivering significant tax revenues already.
Someone has to balance out
Someone has to balance out the small army of paid Green party supporters posting on here.
kimy, I disagree, the only
kimy, I disagree, the only people who are over-taxed are the people who don't own property... You know that, I don't have to explain why.
The reason Labour has dipped is because instead of trying to consolidate under their leader and make good policy, they decided to get all kooky and enforce a man ban in a party that is virtually 50% gender split anyway... That simple. Punters saw a party of nutters... sigh!

Nothing to consolidate. When
Nothing to consolidate. When Phil Goff and David Cunliffe introduced Capital Gains Tax they lost 1million traditional labour voters and as a result lost the election. David Shearer and David Parker never even got close to winning any of that originally lost voters. They are just loosing more voters with their kooky man ban.
Yet again a poll conducted by
Yet again a poll conducted by telephone. Was it landline? I'm led to believe they've found a bias towards the wealthier citizens when doing landline polls; the poor are using cellphones as it's cheaper (believe it or not !!).
And the wealthier you are the more likely you are of voting 'right wing'.
Plus, wait until John Key has been shown to have be 'economical with the truth' over spying issues (e.g. Kim dot Com) etc, and then let's see where Nats are in the poll. His vacant-crocodile smile will then no longer be all that's needed to convince all too many, to vote for him whilst they ignore the runinous National policies.
Question is, will New Zealand still own enough of it's infrastructiure (land sale to wealthy fireigners, house to the same, water-electricity etc etc to overseas printed-worthless money) to still function independently after the public have seen through this Trojen horse.
yeah.. good point.. except
yeah.. good point.. except poor people have iPhone 5, Samsung Galaxy 4, HTC One.. rich people have 50 bucks Nokia mobile and a landline..
What they will have is the
What they will have is the freebie that came with the new vodafone or 2 degrees plan. And I am far from rich but I'd be very surprised if my phone was worth $10, it is after just one remove from being steam powered. Then again
If ever I am in the market for a new plan I may find myself with one of those Android phones.
And as far as the poll goes, I think they all may be a bit skewed by the landline/cell phone thing now, except that many of the cell phone onlies probably don't have a lot of interest in politics, if they woke up.........
The freebie plan costs only
The freebie plan costs only $20. They are paying $120 a month. eeeerrrr there is no freebie. Just a form of finance/loan package with montjly repayments. ie HP.
Oh well buggered if I know as
Oh well buggered if I know as I said I have the next generation phone up from steam powered and spend about $30 a month, but it is my only phone as I am mobile. Might stick with it now even though I can barely read the number any more
NZ is a sovereign nation, if
NZ is a sovereign nation, if it comes down to it we vote in a Govn who natioanlises all what foreigners own, simple. Though a better way would probably be put a foreign ownership tax on things, say 25%......that way it isnt taken off them, they just hand it back.
I suspect it will happen, though mainly I think we'll see migration of rich ppl here aka a lifeboat as the rest of the world enjoy anarchy...they'll just try and buy everything and NZers will sell.
People, Australia has CGT,
People, Australia has CGT, stamp duty and a range of other levies when buying and selling a house.. did it do anything to slow the properties boom?
Anyway, who is David Shearer?
Chairman: You forgot "State
Chairman: You forgot "State Land Taxes" when owning multiple properties, including the family home.
When you have been there a while you will find CGT doesn't apply to the family home, and doesn't influence peoples mobility or their behaviour. But Stamp Duty sure as heck does. I really slows people down. When you are in a $500,000 home and want to ratchet up to a $1,000,000 home and find the Stamp Duty is $70,000 it is cheaper to stay where you are and extend upwards or outwards. And that's what people do. Usually end up over-capitalising the property. High asking prices yes, Not so high realisation prices. Alternatively, if they are in an old house it's cheaper to knock it over and re-build. In the more expensive areas, most of the cost is in the land anyway.
Yes it does if you
Yes it does if you selling family home within 2yrs of ownership.
Doubt if CGT will be much of
Doubt if CGT will be much of a concern at 2 years. Not in Brisbane anyway. Two options. Main one is 50% of the gain at normal marginal rates, or use the indexing method on the full amount at a fixed rate, whichever is the cheaper.
tahs all teh CGT is suppsed
tahs all teh CGT is suppsed to do, slow it down a bit...its not a fix. The interesting thing is stopping the tax dodge...
Labour is losing in the polls
Labour is losing in the polls for three key reasons:
1. they have a terrible leader, the guy has the charisma of moldy cheese. I regularly see labour party MPs publicly speaking out against him, he has no control of his own caucus.
2. National are doing a good job, the economy is improving, govn debt is dropping and they're getting stuck into beneficiaries (a very popular move with the working class).
3. NZ politics (and most of the developed world) is a race to the centre, National is already there which leaves Labour only one good option, go further left. So they are talking about more taxes, bigger govn, more spending but unfortunately for them, post GFC, even the average Joe knows we can't spend, spend, spend without consequences.
It's a huge opportunity for the Greens, if they drop the most bat sh!t crazy policies and re-focus on environmental changes they have a real chance of becoming the 2nd major political party.
Our incumbent opposition
Our incumbent opposition parties don't present the issues. They are a disorganised army because the activists are incumbent and out of touch. Take the housing issue, neither Labour or the Greens do more than fiddle with issues relating to demand. NZ First seems to concentrate on Chinese.
We need something like an organised public think tank rather than those occuring within political parties. We need a clear (Bill Bryson) setting out of agruments and policy choices unconstrained by elite views.
Watching Q+A today the furthest immigration policy (demand) gets in relation to housing is the comment stream along the bottom, while the big cheeses tout "land supply" or some hand wringing from the left. On an earlier program Professor Paul Spoonley proclaims that "as Aucklands population grows it becomes a better place to live"
You'd think with so much information out there the public are well served but the opposite is true; we get the world view of elites whose lives are nothing like those of ordinary battlers.
It would be interesting to analyse the problems from an unbiased (as possible) and informed stand point and then see how that view point was presented to the public after passing through elite hands............
It has been done - the Savings Working Group and was totally ignored by National Radio, TV1, TV3 etc,etc. National, Labour, Greens... (even NZ First has been told to keep quiet by potential coallition partners).
Background of housing in
Background of housing in NZ
1.4 million houses
Most houses inhabited for 70 to 90 years
Many houses are old, cold and damp
High level of deferred maintenance
Relatively low building code standards
Declining home-ownership rate
Mäori home-ownership rates remain lower
No wealth tax, capital gains tax or death duties
Around 30% of people rent from private landlords
5% of people rent social housing
Public consequences
• Untaxed increase in house prices helping to fuel
wealth concentration and income flow
• Increase in relative inequalities has social and health
consequences at both individual and neighbourhood
• Housing is probably our poorest maintained
• Poor housing leads to health problems that lead to
greater health care utilisation
• Poor housing leads to inefficient use of energy

So, there are lots of things I ought to be writing about right now but there is one thing that I've read a lot about recently and it's something I feel I have to write about before anything else.
It is REBEL HEART.
Everyone has an opinion on it, and I do too. One I would like to share.
Now, I'll be honest, I never have and never will undertake such a daring adventure as the Kaufmans. Crossing an ocean in a small boat is something I couldn't do.
But note the wording… COULDN'T. I couldn't do it because I don't have the skills and, quite frankly, I don't have the courage. Taking the kids to sea is something I would very much like to do… though when we do, it will be in a much bigger boat!!!
So, while I don't envy their decision to sail around the world in one small boat with two small children, I do understand it. What I don't understand is the sheer number of people who feel they can sit in judgement of them.
In almost every single article I have read criticising the Kaufmans' decision to take their children away, I am left with the distinct feeling that it says more about the writer. Almost as if one wrong ending justifies a lifetime of sitting on a sofa so as not to incur a 'risk'. As if nothing bad ever happens if you just stay at home. We all know that's not true.
The people who defend them are those who have been out there and done it…. And understand that their predicament could never have been foreseen or planned for. It's ironic in the extreme that those who judge most are usually those who know least.
The Kaufmans took a risk, undeniably. But it was a calculated risk and they had a back up plan. They needed their back up plan; They implemented their backup plan; It was executed perfectly.
The age old argument as to why they shouldn't have gone gets wheeled out every time: The children won't remember it. It's just the most ridiculous argument ever. If I shouldn't travel with them… should I not read to them? Cuddle them? Tell them that I love them? Is there a magical age at which you should start to 'do' things with your kids?
There are quite a few people in the world who thought (and possibly still think!) I was crazy to complete Lands End to John O'Groats with a 2 and a 4 year old or to cross America and Canada on a train with a 3 and a 5 Year old; To go to the Arctic Circle on a train or travel to the northern Orkneys just to take a flight….
Of course, for us, it's all gone under the radar because our adventures have been incident free… but if they hadn't, I am sure I would have felt the wrath of those who felt I should not have put myself in that situation with young children.
We each have to decide what we feel is a risk and what is not.
And remember that the greatest risk of all is not following our own heart. Rebel or not.

Prayers for my financial situation,
February 12, 2012
I have been out of work for 9 months now and my unemployment insurance ran out last month. Right now I have no income and no savings plus I don't have a car and live in an area that has no public transportation. I live 10 miles from the closest business so there is no way I can walk. I am very discouraged and see no end in sight to my struggles. I don't know anyone and feel so isolated with no one to talk to or share my problems with. Please pray for my transportation and financial nees and for some Christian fellowship. Thank you!

A settler named Joseph Chapline settled in the area around 1740. After the conclusion of the French and Indian War, he founded the town in 1763, naming it in honor of his friend Horatio Sharpe, the Proprietary Governor of the Province of Maryland.
Situated to the east of the Potomac River and its water power, the town attracted industry in the early 19th century, particularly after the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal was extended to Sharpsburg around 1836. It was incorporated in 1832.
Confederate General Robert E. Lee invaded Maryland in the late summer of 1862 and was intercepted by Union General George B. McClellan. Their armies met in the Battle of Antietam (or Battle of Sharpsburg) on September 17, 1862—the single bloodiest day of the American Civil War and all of American military history, with nearly 23,000 casualties. The inconclusive but strategic Union victory politically enabled Abraham Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation.
This victory was a turning point of the war because it stopped the Confederacy from advancing and winning an important battle on Northern soil. Sharpsburg claims its Memorial Day commemoration as one of the first in the U.S., having their 142nd consecutive celebration in 2009. The city also celebrates an annual Heritage Festival in mid-September.
The town core was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2008 as the Sharpsburg Historic District.

Marginal notes approach — Copious notes instead of underlining. Ask the students to write why they think the passage is worth underlining. Show them how to use the margins to summarize the text, ask questions, disagree or agree.
Focused Reading notes — Give students a sheet with four or five columns, each with a keyword at the top. Students write reading notes under the keywords as they read the text through.
Reading Logs – Students may write regularly about readings but are free to choose what to say: summarize text, connect to personal experience, argue with it, analyze it, evaluate it.
Summary/Response Notebook — Students keep a reading log with two opposing responses to a text. First page is a restatement of the passage in their own words (summary, flowchart, diagram, careful notes). Second page is personal reflection on the article. This calls for serious effort and engaged thought.
Guided-Journal Questions — Build these into the course; provide questions for their journal assignment.
Imagined Interviews with Author — Students write dialogues in which they interview the author, argue the points and invent the resulting dialogue based on the text.
Summary writing — Students write summaries or abstracts of articles or texts. Separate main ideas from supporting details to find the hierarchical structure of the article or text.
Multiple-choice Quiz Designed by Students — Instructor provides the guidelines. Students read more perceptively when they have questions in mind.
Writing 'Translations' — Students translate a difficult passage into their own words. Activity focuses attention on precise meanings of words, shows the use of syntax in complex texts.

Atlantic is a biography of a tremendous space that has been central to the ambitions of explorers, scientists, and warriors, and continues profoundly to affect our character, attitudes, and dreams. Simon Winchester makes the Atlantic come vividly alive. Spanning the oceans story from its geological origins to the age of explorationcovering the Vikings, the Irish, the Basques, John Cabot, and Christopher Columbus in the north, and the Portuguese and the Spanish in the southand from World War II battles to todays struggles with pollution and overfishing, his narrative is epic, intimate, and awe inspiring. More than a mere history, this is an unforgettable journey of unprecedented scope by one of the most gifted writers in the English language.

Henrik Stenson was the first man to secure his place in Europe's Ryder Cup team and he plans to be the first to arrive at Gleneagles.
European number one Stenson's brilliant form at the end of last season saw him make history by winning the FedEx Cup and Race to Dubai in the same year, not to mention gathering enough world ranking points to effectively qualify for the Ryder Cup with nine months to spare.
The 27-year-old, whose last appearance in the event came in 2008, has accrued 240 points, almost 70 more than Martin Kaymer needed in 2012 to secure the final qualifying berth on the world points list.
But he has not played at Gleneagles since 2004, or seen the alterations made in recent years under the supervision of course designer Jack Nicklaus, and will therefore get there as soon as possible after playing in the Tour Championship in Atlanta - assuming he qualifies for the event he won last year.
"It's been quite a few years since I played the Gleneagles tournament," said Stenson, who shot an opening round of 81 in 2002 as he went through the first of two major career slumps.
"I'm thinking about maybe making my way over a little bit early to get rid of some jet-lag and possibly get another round in before everybody else gets there. That's a more likely scenario than making a trip there while I'm in Scotland because we've got both the Scottish Open and the Open Championship to look after in the summer."
Stenson begins his 2014 campaign in the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship this week, an event he has played every year since it started in 2006 but has yet to win.
"I've got two second places and it's the one tournament down in this part of the world that I haven't won," the world number three added. "I managed to win in Dubai in November (at the DP World Tour Championship), the Desert Classic in 2007 and Qatar in 2006.
"It would be a nice one to add to the collection here having made Dubai my home for almost 10 years. It's nice to be back and it's going to be a challenge of course. Preparations are a little bit shorter than they would have been otherwise but hopefully it won't impact it too much and we'll get going sooner rather than later."
Those preparations were at least interrupted for a good reason, with Stenson flying from Dubai to Stockholm on Monday to collect two prestigious sports awards in Sweden.
He was named male sports athlete of the year and also became the first male golfer to win the Radiosportens Jerringpris, an award for the top sporting achievement of the year as voted for by the Swedish public.
"I travelled back on Monday morning, picked up some nice awards and headed back at 1pm on Tuesday, landed about 10pm in Dubai and drove here and went to bed at 2am," Stenson added.

Product Description
For ancient Egyptians, burning incense was a daily celebration of fragrance, and their favorite incense of all was Kyphi.
On a daily basis, the ritualized burning of incense in ancient Egypt consisted of frankincense in the morning, myrrh during the day, and Kapet (Kyphi from the Greek translation) in the evening. According to Egyptologists, Kyphi played an important role as a sacred fragrance in many ceremonies. It was also believed Kyphi could revive the sexuality of the dead.
Various Kyphi recipes were made, some using about a dozen ingredients while others included over fifty. Kyphi recipes are inscribed on the walls of the ancient temples of Edfu and Philae, with pictographs of Kyphi being used and recipes for making it.
Kyphi produces a beautful full-bodied, rich multi-layered bouquet with a warm, relaxing, sweet, spicy and sensual aroma. Here we present our own recreation of this ancient Egyptian incense.
Made of only the finest natural organic and wildcrafted ingredients; red wine, tupelo honey, sultana raisins, storax bark, saffron, sandalwood, aloeswood, frankincense, mastic, benzoin, cardamom seeds, galangal root, lemongrass, rose petals and more.
Kyphi is one of our favorite mixtures to heat on

Archos 3 Vision 8GB review
Archos's 3 Vision is one of an increasing number of portable audio and video players to have a touchscreen.
Playback controls and menu commands are activated by simply tapping the screen, but a very precise aim is required, especially when adjusting the volume slider.
A virtual scroll wheel in the bottom corner of the screen is used for navigating menus and track lists. Although it's reasonably responsive, it doesn't feel as accurate as a physical wheel when scrolling through a long list to find a particular item.
Music sounded muddy and flat, with very little bass using the included earphones. Audio quality improved greatly using a replacement set of earphones, but music still wasn't as rich and warm as we'd like. Backing vocals in pop tracks sounded a little muffled, too. The 3 Vision lasted just under 11 hours when playing music, which is disappointing, especially for a player at this price.
The lack of physical volume controls means that you'll have to fish the Vision out of your pocket and unlock the controls to use the onscreen volume slider when out and about, which is a little inconvenient. There's an integrated FM radio, but we had some trouble getting static-free reception in our central London offices.
The 3in display has a relatively high resolution of 400x240 pixels. The Vision can play DivX files, while the included conversion software can batch-convert multiple video files to the right format. However, despite the screen's relatively large size, watching video is difficult due to the dark and grainy image quality. The battery lasted for just three hours and 38 minutes when playing video, which is the shortest time we've seen.
The Archos 3 Vision is flawed in numerous ways, from its slightly cumbersome interface to its less-than-perfect audio quality and battery life. These flaws would be easier to accept at a lower price, but at £89 the Vision is just too expensive to recommend. Sony's Walkman NWZ-E443 and iRiver's E200 8GB are both better choices.

My wife is pregnant right now and she is due at the beginning of April. I am really excited, this is our first kid, but I am also really nervous. I am trying to prepare myself as much as possible for being a first time daddy.
I have been thinking that I should learn infant CPR. Is there a dedicated class for infant CPR or is this a part of all CPR courses? There is a place close to my house that offer Red Cross CPR certification classes. I am hoping that they can give me all the training I need in both cpr and probably first aid too. Wish me luck guys.

Goyo El Pollo Peruvian Rotisserie Takes Over Old Alligator Alley Spot
Categories: Food News, Openings/Closings
See you later, Alligator. |
But now the stage is gone. In its place, a sunny dining area with modest wooden tables. On the walls where beer signs and posters once hung, vintage Peruvian football jerseys and framed black and white photos of footballers posing on the pitch. And instead of a Southern-fried assortment of Cajun and native Floridian grub, the smells of rotisserie chicken with clove and slowly grilling anticuchos marinated in cumin waft from the kitchen.
Yep, in that spot where the legendary Alligator Alley once stood is Goyo El Pollo, a quaint Peruvian restaurant and rotisserie serving authentic South American cuisine seven days a week.
The quiet restaurant draws in Latin families who eat a wide range of Peruvian specialties. The menu features big on authentic dishes like fresh-made ceviche and papas a la huancaina made with aji amarillo and soft white cheese. The menu is modest and skews towards light fare like fish sandwiches and grilled chicken breast. More rustic options like aji de gallina (stewed chciken) and lomo saltado compete alongside fragrant rotisserie chicken spiced with cloves and cumin, cooked juicy with a golden-crisp skin that would smash anything whipped up at Boston Market.
The space has received a little makeover as well, shortening that long bar to enclose part of the kitchen that was exposed and putting in a few flat screen TVs tuned to sporting events. Friday through Sunday the restaurant offers two for one beers including Peruvian imports like Cusquena and Cristal. And on July 28 the place is celebrating Peru's Independence Day with live music and beer and food specials all night. It probably won't be the Pastorius brothers and La Fin Du Monde, but here's to living in the future.
Goyo El Pollo
1321 E. Commercial Blvd., Oakland Park 33334

When the market is as wild as it has been these days, I would actually rather place on basic tiny binary alternative (or digital options) trades to pull trade rush income from the industry, and minimize my danger.
It is accurate, that with Index or futures trading, you have unlimited upside likely. But, in these wild binary options trading instances, I like the reduced Risk with my binary trades.
The superior information is that I'm hitting most of them! You could do the identical. It just stocks to buy takes a very little training, and some persistence.
Some traders have instructed me that they do not like the sluggish tempo of selections investing, in contrast to what they do online currency forex in say Forex trading or the futures markets. I disagree. If you want the fast pace life style, just appear for options that are about to expire. Some binary pennystocks4509.com platforms will allow you get the alternative up to 5 minutes before they expire.
The reduced threat features created into options trades need to additional than make up for any online trading reduction in action. Personally, I like to trade the index futures current market, and binary options. But, I am going to just take the reduced chance and calmer action any day daytrading6636.com above fast tempo losses!
How about a trade the place you have $27 at risk - BUT if you hit, you make $486! That is just the type of penny stocks point you can do with binary choices!!!
Or how about this. How a lot of moments would you get this trade? The moment you have it set up (it would demand two choices with a pass on, and one particular in the dollars), you have at danger $forty five. BUT, if you strike, you would bring in $810 on the penny stocks trade! I'll take that just about every time it lines up. Most days that is three or four moments, during the US investing session. If you also want to day trading trade the Asian and/or the Europe markets, that trade could line up ten days a day or far more.
Glance at it this way, if you hit that day trading trade just when, but missed it 2 moments just before you did, you would have $810 minus the two losses or $90 for a whole of $720. You optionstrading1982.com can do that in a day with binary options. What if you have been ready to strike two or three or 4 of individuals a week!
For most people market trading , that would be everyday living changing. Are these pie in the sky figures? No! Traders are building a Whole lot additional than that with binary choices, but I wanted to be conservative.
A person point is for certain, with binary selections you can reduce your threat (and probably enhance your income) throughout wild days in the markets!

Manning missed that season with a neck injury and the remaining roster – including passers Curtis Painter and Dan Orlovsky -- put together by then-GM Bill Polian put up a 2-14 record to secure the top pick in the draft and another generational talent at the quarterback position.
Fast forward a couple years and the Patriots selection of
And in making that point in his final draft press conference Saturday night at Gillette, Belichick chose to the Colts as an examples of exactly what he'd never want to see with his own team.
"I think organizationally, in our organization I don't think we would put together a team the way Indianapolis did it when they lost [Peyton] Manning and they go 0-16, 1-15 or whatever it was [2-14]. I don't think that's really what we're looking for," Belichick said in an unsolicited reference to the Colts. "Unfortunately when we lost Tom [Brady] in 2008 – we had a player that could step in and we won 11 games. We want to be competitive even if something happens to a player at any position. I think depth is always important. You never know when you're going to need it. But I don't think we'd be happy going 1-15 if we had an injury at one position. But other people have different philosophies. I'm just saying that the contrast to that example. I don't think that's really what we're trying to do."

I didn't write the blow by blow of what transpired on this particular summer morning, my Daddy did. I did however stand in shocked horror reading it in my kitchen just a few minutes after it all happened:
When I got to the barn, both doors of the blue Ford pickup, aka,
Papa Smurf, were standing open. I
thought that was a little odd.
Odder still, our farm helper, Chris was standing there, wet from his neck to his
shoes, and laughing. My son, Wright, was also wet, and grumpy. Curious,
I asked for the explanation.
The cool morning of 30 August 2011 promised the autumn to
come. Early in the day Wright and
Chris were out in Papa Smurf. So
were the buzzards, those notorious early risers.
Wright was driving Papa Smurf with a load of pig buckets in
the back, filled with swill. Of
course, they drove with windows open in the cool morning air. Beside the road, buzzards were feeding
in the cool morning dew.
Without warning, a buzzard took off on the passenger side, lost
his way, and flew clean into the Papa Smurf's window, practically into Chris's
lap. At this point you must bear
in mind that buzzards have only one way to protect themselves. Not claws, not beaks, not beating you
with their wings, only projectile
vomiting. It usually works.
Judging from the pink & white patches of stuff still
clinging to the inside walls of Papa Smurf, this particular buzzard projected
quite a bit of vomit. At this
point, you must also know that Wright has a very sensitive gag reflex. He can't even change a diaper without gagging. Suddenly into his lap jump clots of
odoriferous buzzard vomit.
Which set Wright to vomiting, erasing all benefit of his
Really odd. I
never heard of a buzzard doing that before.
Wright was not amused hours later when I asked him to recount the entire event, again.
I dare say, even your #1 worst morning ever cannot come close to an encounter with vulture vomit.

AP and CBS: O'Brien staying at Penn State
From CBS Sports: Penn State head coach Bill O'Brien was a hot name for many of the coaching vacancies around the NFL but he won't be any longer: CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora reports O'Brien is staying put and withdrawing his name for consideration from any NFL openings.
O'Brien interviewed with at least one NFL team recently, as CBSSports.com's Mike Freeman reported on Thursday that the Nittany Lions coach met in secret with the Browns.
"I'm not a one-and-done guy," O'Brien told PennLive.com's David Jones. "I made a commitment to these players at Penn State and that's what I am going to do. I'm not gonna cut and run after one year, that's for sure."
The Browns, Freeman reports, were "incredibly impressed" by O'Brien in his interview. O'Brien also reportedly interviewed with the Eagles this offseason as well.
His work during his first year in State College — 8-4 overall and 6-2 in Big Ten play — speaks for itself, given the circumstances under which he came to the Nittany Lions.
Much of the belief around the potential departure of O'Brien surrounded rumors that he felt misled by Penn State officials and didn't expect to stumble into the sanction-filled nightmare that he faced when he departed the Patriots for Penn State.
During O'Brien's tenure as New England offensive coordinator, the Patriots made the Super Bowl and came within a play or two of toppling the Giants.
It's an example of extreme loyalty on O'Brien's part to stick with the Nittany Lions. They're going to be at a major recruiting disadvantage for the next few years and O'Brien's name couldn't have been much hotter.
One major problem he did face in this coaching market: if teams like the Browns and Eagles were waiting to speak with Chip Kelly following Thursday night's Fiesta Bowl, O'Brien might hang in the wind with his job situation and cause things to get awkward with his current employer and Penn State fans.

Paradox | |
Portrayed by Tom Konkle | |
First seen | For A Few Paintballs More |
Hometown | A cardboard box in shanty town |
Occupation | Unknown, he appears to be unemployed and homeless |
At Greendale to... | ...Agree to disagree |
- "Magnitude is a one man party, and a one man party can't be in an alliance. That's a paradox."— Magnitude
- "I agree to disagree."— Paradox
- "Easy, Paradox, we're on the same side here."— Troy
Paradox is presumably a student attending Greendale Community College. Based on just his appearance, he seems to be much older than most of the other students, possibly alcoholic, and maybe homeless as well. His first, and so far only, appearance is in the Season Two season finale episode "For A Few Paintballs More".
Character history
There is none. His first and only appearance was to be the punchline to a joke. His slurred speech as well as his holding and drinking a beer suggests he is possibly an alcoholic. The tattered and dirty clothing he wears may also indicate he is homeless. After he "agrees to disagree" with Magnitude, he doesn't appear in the rest of the episode and has not been seen since. If someone were to mention the word paradox again, he may show up, turning him into a running gag. Until then, his history is fair game...
The man who came to be known as Paradox was originally from an alternate reality where the TV show known as Inspector Spacetime was actually real. All the adventures that were televised had leaked through the dimensional ether and inspired it's creation. The man seen in "For A Few Paintballs More" was once a P.A.R.A.D.O.X. (Protector of Alternate Realities And Dimensions from Otherworldy Xenoforms) agent. His job was to prevent any illegal trans-dimensional incursions. Many times he had assisted Inspector Spacetime on various adventures and was even asked to become an associate at one point. However his duties with the SpaceTime Agency came first, a powerful organization set up at the dawn of time by the being simply known as The Creator. Existing outside of continuity it was tasked with overseeing the flow of time and space and making sure everything was moving in accordance with fate or as The Creator called it "The Grand Design". One of his fellow agents, an esper from the prescience division, warned him that sometime in 2011 a major transdimensional occurrence was going to happen between two parallel earths. Her warning was both cryptic and ominous:
"From one comes six and from six comes the one who will end creation and throw all of reality into a bedlam of chaos and entropy."
After consulting the Space Chart he narrowed it down to Earth 917200. He uploaded the coordinates of that reality into his Maelstrom Operator, a device used by agents to travel to any point in time, space or reality. With it, agents were able to navigate The Dimensional Ether, a dark matter wall that separated all realities from each other. Before he could take the matter to his superiors, Blorgons invaded the STA headquarters. During the battle with enemy forces a stray eradicator beam hit his Maelstrom Operator inadvertently activating it. The device sent him to Earth 9172009 but the eradicator beam destabilized the units matrix. It's temporal circuitry, chronal buffers, and spacial convertors were severely damaged. None of the usual safety protocols were activated and he experienced the transdimensional journey through the Dimensional Ether completely unprotected. His mind and body underwent severe trauma, he emerged form the ether much older physically and with memory loss. To make matters worse, although he safely arrived on Earth 9172009, he was in the wrong time several years before the major transdimensional occurrence was to happen. His Maelstrom Operator and clothes were ruined, the only identifiable remnant of his former life was an STA identity card that barley survived the trip. On it only one word could be clearly made out: PARADOX.

Why arrest of Taliban No. 2 could undercut peace talks
Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar was the Taliban's operational leader. U.N. officials say that Mullah Baradar facilitated a meeting last month in Dubai between mid-level Taliban commanders and Kai Eide, a top U.N. official in Kabul.
The arrest of the second-ranking Taliban leader last week in Pakistan is likely to throw the Islamist movement into disarray and disrupt the Taliban military campaign, and it could mark a strategic U-turn for the government in Islamabad, former Taliban and Western analysts said Tuesday.
A U.S. counter-terrorism official said the arrest of Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar would be "a shock to the rest of the senior Taliban leadership" because of his close relationship with Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar and because it came as U.S.-led forces pressed their military offensive in Helmand province.
"Mullah Baradar is a major terrorist, whose removal will disrupt anti-coalition attacks in Afghanistan for a while," said the official, who refused to be identified.
A senior Western military official in the region said Pakistani cooperation in the capture "is a very big deal" and "the loss of the organization's top strategic and operational figure is a big deal, a huge blow to the enemy at this particular moment in time. Continuity in leadership is going to be extremely difficult," said the official, who spoke only on the condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to discuss the issue with journalists

I spent this last weekend in Sun Valley, ID to run the Elephant's Perch Backcountry run on Saturday. It is one of my favorite "local" races and we were lucky enough to be running in the mountains while it was 106 degrees at home in Boise! The run has a 10 mile and a 16.5 mile option with an awesome course of nearly all single track with great climbs and steep, rocky decents. The event drew about 260 runners, including the Olympic development nordic team. I wasn't in the front at the start and ended up behind lots of runners when we hit the first single track. I had to wait until we jumped out on a wider road to try to gain some ground. The first long climb was great as I continued to pass runners and make my way up the mountain. On the downhill I let a few of the 10 mile runners pass as they were going all out to get to the finish. After the turn for the 16.5 mile runners the next climb is always tougher after the long downhill but some friends at the summit were cheering and gave me a boost. The next downhill went through a section that was burned 1 1/2 years ago and now was covered in shoulder-high wild flowers, it was breathtaking. I was running alone for the 2nd half of the race until a local, Hank Dart, caught me near the end as I was just catching another runner. I won the women's 16.5 mile race while the male winner blazed the course, nearing the course record. It was a great day in Sun Valley!

Well considering the heavy rain hit and washed all but one of the races off the turf and the main track was a mess, we did well to have 8 of 12 winners on the sheet at Saratoga. We got hot towards the end of the day and had 4 of the last 6 races with our top pick including a big $32.40 top pick winner in the 9th race.
The front speed at Saratoga started to dominate again later in the day which is why the sheet caught fire. From the 5th race on no winner came from further back than second and there were 4 wire to wire winners.
If front speed holds again on Sunday we will kill them!

Cheeky Illustrations
La Parisienne
Today we talked to illustrator Malika Favre about her and her fantastic illustrations, enjoy:
"I have always drawn as far as I can remember. I was very obsessive as a kid and I would draw for hours every day. I never stopped and it became fairly obvious by the time I graduated that I had to pursue illustration and design as a career. I draw a lot of girls and curvy animals because I love the curves and shapes they create.
"I am more instinctive than conceptual with my approach to illustration – I draw things that please me at a certain moment in time. Things that catch my eye.
This illustration "part of the Lust Triangle series that I am currently developing. I am looking into animal postures and trying to translate them as hybrid creatures part female/part animal. I am very intrigued by myths and gods. This is an ongoing project.
"Esquisses were originally sketches used to create the Wallpaper alphabet for the magazine. I started exploring a couple of positions very roughly and towards the end of the project, I collated all of them and created a limited edition screen print to sell on Airside Shop a couple of years ago. I like their spontaneity and lightness.
Wallpaper Alphabet
"This alphabet was commissioned by Wallpaper for their sex and Art issue last year. I had pretty much free range to do something naughty and a bit cheeky for the magazine. They originally came to me because they saw the alphabunnies I previously did so I decided it was time for a new alphabet of pin ups. I am also developing a new alphabet, with men this time (imagine that…)
"I currently work at Airside design studio in Angel and I am setting up on my own in a couple of month to dedicate myself fully to illustration and animation direction. Pretty exciting times ahead really! I am currently working on a really naughty book cover project with Penguin and taking part in an exhibition with Little White Lies but I can't say more about those…

Keeping passwords, bookmarks, and other things synced across the internet is a pain. There are third-party services like LastPass and Xmarks, but none of them sync all of your data, leaving you with shreds of data across each device. Luckily, Mozilla has seen the problem, and in Firefox 4, introduced syncing of things like history, bookmarks, passwords, and even open tabs across your computers and even your mobile phones.
Image Credit: iPod, Nexus S, Firefox 4
Setting up your first computer
To start using Firefox Sync, go to Firefox>Options>Sync and click Set Up Firefox Sync:
You'll need to give them your email, a password, and a server to sync to:
After signing up for a new account, you'll be given a Sync Key–a code known only by you and your computer, not theirs, that is used to encrypt all of your data.
After seeing your sync key, you'll be asked if you're a robot or not.
Select what you want to sync and you're done!
Setting up additional computers
To set up additional computers, you'll need to go through relatively the same process. Before setting up sync on a new computer, make sure that your data is synced by going to Manage Account>View Quota:
After waiting, open up the syncing wizard on the second computer.
It will show you a screen with a series of numbers on it.
Now go back to your first computer. There, click the Add Device button:
Type in the code shown on the other computer:
Once it's accepted you can close the window. Your bookmarks, passwords, and settings are now on both devices!
Setting up your mobile device
To get all of your synced data on your mobile device, you can simply set up sync on Firefox 4 Mobile on Android or Firefox Home on iOS.
To set up Firefox Home, you simply have to go through the Add Device process above, using the codes given by your iPhone:
You can almost instantly view all of your bookmarks, tabs and history!
Firefox Sync is a great new integrated way to sync all of your passwords, bookmarks, and most other data between all of your computers–your work computer, your iPod, and your Android phone. It's good to see browser makers continue to add cool features that make each browser stand out.

"What I like in FF Sync from screen shot is ability to sync preferences; too bad there's no Export of settings." ==> "What I like in FF Sync is apparent ability to sync preferences. Too bad FF3 doesn't have an Export of settings; however"…
[when I click Edit screen darkens but I don't see a Comments box; sorry… any ideas how to fix? i use noscript, requestpolicy, among many other addons]
I also use FF3+XMarks and love it. Main purpose is to sync to IE. What I like in FF Sync from screen shot is ability to sync preferences; too bad there's no Export of settings. FEBE/CLEO/OPIE fills that need. Doesn't sync but can backups and those can be scheduled.
Jim Van Damme
Is there any compelling reason to switch from XMarks? That is cross-browser, and has a rating system for websites (DotTech is #3 among freebies). Although it seems to be a memory hog when it's syncing.
I'm using it since FF 3.x and it was working properly -
Too bad FF3 doesn't have this feature..
Most of the machines I use only use FF3.. -
Yes, it is a very nice tool
I use it to sync my Bookmarks to FF server..
But in FF4, the status bar (Addons bar) is too static and frozen and it doesn't display the Sync icon animation and doesn't allow to interact.

Swisse still expanding offshore, despite cashflow issues
PUBLISHED: 02 Sep 2013 09:44:06 | UPDATED: 03 Sep 2013 02:34:43PRINT EDITION: 02 Sep 2013Radek Sali will use a speech in Melbourne on Monday to outline Swisse's overseas strategy and admit to past mistakes. Photo: Luis Ascui
Joe Aston
Swisse chief executive Radek Sali claims the privately owned wellness company is just breaking even and is persisting with its rapid international expansion plans.
Swisse ranked at No. 242 on the 2013 BRW Top 500 private companies list.
A new joint venture with one of the world's biggest consumer brands, to be announced within three weeks, will launch the Australian vitamin and skincare products into 40 new European and Asian markets.
Sali will use a speech in Melbourne on Monday to outline Swisse's overseas strategy, explain its cash flow challenges and admit to past mistakes.
Swisse has reported 2013 revenues of $232 million and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation of $2 million.
Its 2014 forecast of $16 million in EBITDA is tied to ambitious margin growth projections – through planned cost reductions in marketing, better commercial terms with retailers and efficiencies from greater scale. The figures are yet to be audited by KPMG.
It is the first time Swisse has disclosed its financial position.
Sali's address, to business chamber VECCI, comes three weeks after Swisse raised $70 million in high-interest mezzanine debt from a Goldman Sachs fund and as major media outlets report it has drastically slashed its local advertising spend.
"I think we've got best-laid plans," Sali said. "The cost of growth is always significant and we've had very significant growth. It's not easy growing a brand. We know we can pull back and consolidate when necessary. It's not as if we haven't been through this territory before."
