3-2-2015 *** Dinar Guru NEWS FLASH *** The CBI has announced the 50 dinar note will be retired and worthless after April 30th. This means if you have a significant number of 50 dinar notes you MUST exchange them by then or lose their value. Most online brokers are offering exchange procedures...do your research and pick the one that works best for you. Read the guru updates from the 28th and 1st to see how the gurus feel retiring the 50's effects the overall dinar investment...Guru Breitling's posts offer a very interesting perspective. Stay tuned as more light is shed on this BOMBSHELL of an announcement by the CBI...
3-4-2015 Intel Guru TerryK DONG WILL COME OUT AT THE
PICTURE WHY IT HAS NOT GONE YET. [post 2 of 2]
3-4-2015 Intel Guru TerryK HERE IS WHAT I WAS TOLD TODAY...4 SOURCES. 1. WE ARE TO SEE THE RV THIS WEEK...NO DOUBTS... MAYBE...(2) AM WED MORNING...I DOUBT THAT ONE...BUT HAS LEGS. 2. MOST LIKE THURSDAY NO LATER. RATE BEING TOLD IS 3.90. THE HOLD UP WAS...CBI WANTED SUCKER RATE. IRAQ GOV SAID NO WE HAVE TO MANY COMMITMENTS WE NEED 3.90. IT WAS AGREED TODAY. 3. IRAQ WILL COME OUT AT 3.90 AND HOLD FOR A FEW DAYS TO A WEEK THEN IT WILL CLIMB PAST 8.00 NO MORE THAN 9.79. IT WILL HOLD FOR MAYBE A WEEK OR TWO THEN DROP TO WHATEVER RATE KUWAIT IS AT PLUS .50. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned] 3-3-2015 Newshound Guru Aggiedad77 Article: "New mechanisms for auction currency in the Central Bank" The CBI governor spoke today and declared there is no decline in hard currency in Iraq today and there are no worries in this direction...the IQD is COVERED AT 150% BY HARD CURRENCY...strong words...that we've heard several times...words that convey a surety of things to come...and he did say there is no longer a daily auction window.
3-3-2015 Intel Guru EXOGEN LOOK FOR THE RI/RV, LIBERATION OF TIKRIT, DELETION OF ZEROES, HCL, IRAQ BEAT THE BAD GUYS NEWS TO ALL TAKE PLACE SIMULTANEOUSLY. 3-3-2015 Intel Guru Delta CBI announcement about the 50 IQD note...surprised everyone. It's not a bad thing. The Iraqi coins and the 50 dinar note has never been popular in Iraq. (Equivalent of 4 cents USD - at the 1166 rate). IMO, the rate is going to come up around 10 cents. So many indications showing that. The reason...if you do it at 10 cents...the 500 dinars would be equivalent to around 50 dollars. Because Iraqi's use a lot of US currency there is going to be a lot of confusion in the marketplace with this 50 and the 500. You hardly see 50 dinar notes in Iraq. Most people who hold 50 IQD notes are investors outside of Iraq. About 90% of those 50 notes are outside of Iraq. People have 2 months to redeem 50 dinar notes. The CBI knows exactly what they have outside of Iraq. Most people won't bother to cash-in the 50 dinar notes because they are only worth about 4 cents. 3-3-2015 Newshound Guru sczin11 IMHO, MONETARY REFORM CONTINUES ... SMART CARDS FOR MANY PENSION RECEIVERS, WENT LIVE TODAY... DELETION OF THE ZEROES PROJECT WAS GIVEN THE "GREEN LIGHT" BY ACTING GOVERNOR OF THE CBI, TODAY...TAKING 2 YEARS TO REMOVE THE NOTES FROM THE STREET IN IMF STANDARDS AND PROTOCOLS...TARIFFS AND TAXES SUPPOSEDLY BEING IMPOSED, NOW...THEY ARE NECESSARY AS PER THE BUDGET, IN ORDER TO REDUCE THE BUDGET DEFICIT...THEY CAN NOT AFFORD TO DELAY THE IMPLEMENTATION/COLLECTION, OF THESE VERY INTEGRAL REVENUES, IN ORDER TO BALANCE THE BUDGET...THE 50 DINAR NOTES COMING IN ALREADY...NO VALUE NOW, BUT WITH A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN VALUE, THEY DONT HAVE THE NECESSARY SECURITY NEEDED TO COMPLY WITH THE INTL REGULATIONS AND STANDARDS FOR ANTI MONEY LAUNDERING AND COUNTERFEITING, THAT ALL THE OTHER DENOMS POSSESS...DE-DOLLARIZING HAS BEEN PROGRESSING...MAINTAINING STABILITY OF THE IRAQI DINAR HAS BEEN A PRIORITY...FOLKS...THERE IS A PLAN, IT IS IN PROCESS, WE DON'T HAVE A CHECKLIST...BUT, WE ARE A PART OF IT! 3-3-2015 Newshound Guru Aggiedad77 The news is full of green lights ...PM Abadi has even been given a green light by the COM to do some things to the budget, this is probably why the delay in us seeing the budget...looking for laws associated with the budget still...but am starting to believe they may show up when the budget is completely unveiled to the world...DAASH is taking a pounding from the air and now from land in the Salahuddin province and specifically Tikrit...so says the news... 3-3-2015 Intel/Newshound Guru tman23 IMO, PM Abadi has what he needs...The Currency Reform Board at the CBI has what they need...Barzani last week borrowed 500 million dollars from Turkey to pay salaries and is in Italy cutting more deals...The Kurds had said they will not open their economy dealing with 3 zero accounting...Abadi told his Ministers to prepare to resume work in the liberated areas...The CBI has given the green light...For what we are interested in...CURRENCY VALUE... Forget about Parliament...they are now riding in the back seat of the RV vehicle. 3-3-2015 Newshound Guru sczin11 [ISN'T THE ISX SUPPOSED TO DO SOMETHING ON MARCH 5TH...?] MORE MISUNDERSTANDING OR MISINTERPRETATION...ISX HAS BEEN OPEN SINCE 1/11/15. 3-3-2015 Intel Guru Frank26 Article quote: "delete the zeros existing project and we have given the green light for its implementation announced the Governor of the Central Bank" It is a GREEN LIGHT...Given by a GREEN ZONE effort that history will never show. They are READY...Well alright alright then ...Let's Roll! I like numbers ...31415. 3-3-2015 Newshound Guru Enorrste Article quote: "Governor of the Central Bank announced...on Tuesday, the deletion of zeros existing project, as pointed out it was given the green light for its implementation..." I am literally "tickled pink" at this announcement. We get a green light on starting the process and, in the same article, a statement that it will take up to two years to implement. That means that a LOP is out of the question and that the float will begin shortly, in my view. I can't wait to see the first tick up on the official rate! 3-3-2015 Intel Guru Delta ISX – finished testing the system...waiting to go...waiting on the rate...waiting for the feed to go Int'l. Qi Card – they said by the middle of March...they will start distributing the money. They have a global contract with MasterCard. You cannot do business with MasterCard unless your currency is international (Article 8 compliance). ...they cannot implement taxes...which were supposed to go on the 1st...without a better rate. They said by the end of this month – the market economy will "kick-out". Everything is lined up very nicely. We don't care about the rate because it can come out at 10 cents and free-float from there. We are expecting something big to happen! All indications are that we are very, very close. [post 2 of 2] 3-3-2015 Intel Guru Delta [via Frosty the Snowman] They are not going to delete the 3 zeros right away. Based on Abadi's statement the rate could come out around 10 cents and free float over the next 3 or 4 months. Not sure. If the CBI increases the value to 10 cents they can bridge the gap in the budget with the revaluation. The meeting that took place about 24 hours ago between the acting financial committee and the acting governor of the CBI...talked about the deletion of the zeros. They talked about a lot things...and we don't have a lot of details but it appears that the CBI is about to pull the trigger. They don't know exactly when but the financial committee knows that when they are ready...in the next 24-48 hours the ministries will start the distribution of the money. Very powerful confirmation. They might drop the 2 zeros and come up with about 10 cents. IMO -- It will start from there. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned] 3-3-2015 Intel Guru Frank26 [via Frosty the Snowman] Article: "Parliamentary Finance hosts the Governor of the CBI and looking him Cancel zeros from currency." ...looking for ways to cancel the 3 zero's on the Dinar. Good clarity...no confusion about this article. Abolish the 3 zero's! They are going to raise the value of their currency. The evidence is pouring in daily. The GOI and CBI are doing this together. We told you the budget is not yet for your eyes ...give it at least 2 weeks because a lot of little things are still being done. Will it take another 2 weeks? I don't know. The reinstatement of the value of the dinar will be done "electronically" – and so will be the budget. There is a reason why the budget isn't opened up yet. The price of oil is one of them. We were looking on March 1st for the laws. They are in position but not approved (yet). Once we see the budget opened (exposed) you will see a bunch of information. IMO – we are very close to seeing the MR of the IQD. 3-3-2014 Newshound Guru Breitling Is it possible the CBI is pulling the 50 dinar note to replace it with the 25 and 100 coins? No! They are supposedly going to mint coins mixed with precious metal…they are not going to mint coins with a precious metal at a tenth of a penny. What happens to those 50 dinar notes? There is a certain amount of wealth …and there is a certain number of notes that represent that wealth. If they pull notes out of the market that same wealth is still there and it's got to be represented by what's left over. And it goes in reverse if they add [notes]… 3-3-2015 Intel/Newshound Guru Poppy3 KEEP IN MIND THINGS CHANGE GOOD AND BAD IN IRAQ IN MINUTES. ALL INFO STILL SHOWING THEY ARE IN A HURRY AND KNOW WHERE THEY NEED TO BE TO BECOME GLOBAL AND HAVE SHOWN NO SIGNS OF SLOWING DOWN IN MEETING THEIR GOALS AS FAST AS POSSIBLE. I HAVE SEEN THEM NO LESS THAN 10 TIMES IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS...SAY THEY ARE NOT COMING BACK FOR DAYS OR WEEKS AND DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY DAYS THEY HAVE TAKEN OFF ---- ZERO --- THERE HAVE BEEN COMMITTEE MEETING S EVERY DAY PERIOD. 3-3-2015 Newshound Guru sczin11 TODAY [MONDAY] THEY ANNOUNCE THEY WILL BE LOADED FOR USE TOMORROW [TUESDAY]...INTERESTINGLY, NOTHING STATING INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF COUNTRY...LEFT TO OUR IMAGINATION...IF THE CARDS ARE LOADED TOMORROW [TUESDAY] IN SAUDIA ARABIA ETC.. IT WOULD MEAN TO ME THEY ARE INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED... PLAIN AND SIMPLE. AND IF THAT HAPPENED, AT 1166, THE COUNTRY WILL IMPLODE...IMHO...THERE IS NOT ENOUGH DINAR IN THEIR COUNTRY TO MAINTAIN STABILITY AS THEY CLAIM THEY WILL HAVE NO PROBLEM DOING. THEY WOULDNT BE ABLE TO REDUCE BUDGET DEFICIT WITH TARIFFS AND TAXES, AS THE AMOUNTS THEY WOULD RECEIVE WOULD BE NEGLIGIBLE...WOULDNT HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THEIR DEFICIT. [post 2 of 2] 3-3-2015 Newshound Guru sczin11 SINCE THE RAISING OF THE VALUE OF THE IRAQI DINAR, HAS LITTLE DIRECT BEARING ON THE CITIZENS OF IRAQ, I DO NOT THINK THE SALARIES, OR MONIES SENT BY BAGHDAD TO KURDS IS A SIGNIFICANT EVENT TO MONITOR... THE BENEFIT TO THE CITIZENS WILL BE THE PURCHASING POWER OF THE COUNTRY...MORE CURIOUS TO ME IS, THEY HAVE BEEN ANNOUNCING FOR THE LAST 30 DAYS OR SO, THE RELEASING OF PENSION MONEY ONTO THE SMART CARDS, TO BE USED "INSIDE AND OUTSIDE" OF THEIR COUNTRY...OVER THE WEEKEND WE SAW, THEY WERE GOING TO RELEASE IN NEXT FEW DAYS, IN 4 COUNTRIES... LEBANON, JORDAN, UAE, AND SAUDIA ARABIE, I THINK... [post 1 of 2....stay tuned] 3-3-2015 Newshound Guru Millionday CBI HAS BEEN ASKED TO MAKE THE CHANGES FOR THE STOCK MARKET...THERE ARE MANY CHANGES THAT HAVE TO OCCUR FOR THE REFORMS AND THEY ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF SHIFTING CBI TO THE PROGRAMS FOR THE PRIVATE SECTOR. THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF THE MONETARY POLICY - WHOOPOW. THIS IS A HUGE STEP TO MOVE FORWARD FOR THE IRAQI REFORMS. THE MOVE NOW IS TO ACTIVATE ALL ECONOMIC LAWS. [THEY ARE TOLD TO ACTIVATE, DO THEY HAVE A TIME FRAME TO DO IT IN?] THEY ARE IN THE STAGE NOW TO ACTIVATE. [Did they activate the smart cards yet?] NO ACTIVATION YET. [...is the HCL finalized... ?] THEY MET ON IT YESTERDAY AND HAVE REACHED AN AGREEMENT. THEY ARE PREPARING EVERYTHING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH REFORMS AND ALSO WITH THE MARKET ECONOMY.

Intel Guru MarkZ I know many are wondering what happened this time,
why is it Monday and we do not have this finished yet...None of us, even the
VERY connected will nail the timing. The event is designed that way for safety.
On the positive side we still have great progress... Are we close?
I think so, I am told so but at the same time I am still looking for an event or
two before I let myself get all giddy. In the sandbox they look to
be poised more for a RI and a float than a true RV. My best advice is just to
buckle up, grab your popcorn and watch closely as we progress.
3-2-2015 Intel Guru TerryK I WAS TOLD... WE WOULD SEE THIS WED OR THUR MORNING. BLAME IT ON IRAQ...THEY POSTED THE HCL IN THE GAZETTE AND IT WAS NOT FULLY AGREED UPON WITH THE KURDS...3% DIFFERENCE FROM WHAT WAS POSTED...KURDS 14% NOT 17%. SO MY UNDERSTANDING THAT IS TO BE COMPLETED TOMORROW AND OFF TO THE RACES WE ARE TO BE GOING. IT WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF...A MIS UNDERSTANDING. 3-2-2015 Intel Guru TNT Tony [via Adept1] Everything has been completed. IN the US everything is done. The military did get paid at the new revalued rate, all the way back to January. The Iraqi citizens know that, and they are waiting to get their own checks and cash. All the merchants know it as well. They didn't want to do this as the initiative started in Tikrit, on the day they started taking back the city. [You said the Iraqis are waiting for the right time. There will never be a perfect time because there is always something going on.] It will never be perfect, so they will choose the time with the best advantage for them. The taxes and tariffs are already in effect, and they have paid their military for the last two months. The people are now waiting to go to the bank. Rates were changed, and they are on screens all around the world... Everything is done, and this is about to get real. I do believe there is a plan for this to go out this week. We are just waiting for a flip of the switch. 3-2-2015 Intel Guru DC [It's been mentioned a few times that they are trying to clear out these large bills. Is there any chance that the people who don't want us to have this will leave us hanging, that we cannot exchange these large bills?] It's a very faint possibility. Those who have exchanged, especially since 30. October or with SKRs, if they were able to exchange and make a ton of money and the rest of us cannot, that will cause all sorts of troubles. I think that is insurance on that. All the major banks are ready to go through and this is a massive stimulus for the economy. The five million in this are an essential part of the plan to stimulate the economy and the oil credits. We are part of the plan, just the last to get off the bus. Many get worked up about this, and because this is wildly speculative investment, it invites a lot of conspiracy-minded people. But we are part of the plan and we are going to be paid. [post 2 of 2] 3-2-2015 Intel Guru DC [via Adept1] Iraq got up to the plate on Saturday night, lined up and ready to go, and they had a meeting about the RV, taxes, customs rules and enforcement ready to go on 1 March. They agreed to keep the tariffs and customs rules in place, and not to restart the auctions, but to hold off on the public side of the RV. They are holding off on who can exchange in Iraq for a few days. The tariffs are in place throughout the country. They decided several things in that Saturday meeting, and we have some confirmation on one of them. Abadi and his Council of Ministers decided that it would be better to take back a part of Iraq, Tikrit? That might take weeks or even a few months. They don't need to have the entire town be re-taken, they just need some wins on the board. That was not part of the equation until Saturday night. The RV is absolutely part of their military plan. They want to announce it at the end of the military action, not the beginning. We may have to wait a few days... It will happen when Dr Shabibi gets comfortable. I know this is not the news you wanted, but this is another step towards this being done. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned] 3-2-2015 Newshound Guru Aggiedad77 Article quote: "Iraqi Oil Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi, said that his ministry will ask the government to issue treasury bonds (Treasury) worth $ 12 billion broadcast reassuring foreign oil companies that will reach their dues by the end of this year to 27 billion dollars." How can the government issue $12 billion dollars in treasury bonds today payable at the end of the year for $27 billion dollars unless they have a currency at the time that will allow such a gain to be made...HUGE HUGE news...add this to the contracts they work under that were set in place in 2009 and 2010...remember those days old timers...that would complicate the apple carts for them...to say the least...but am still working those bond numbers...incredible. 3-2-2015 Intel/Newshound Guru Poppy3 ...CAN NOW SHED MORE LITE ON MY GOOD NEWS I AM EXCITED ABOUT. I WAS TOLD IN THE FINANCE MEETING THIS MORNING THAT THE ARGUMENT WAS ABOUT A RATE THAT IS BEING ASK FOR AND DISCUSSED TO DEAL WITH THE VALUE OF DINAR AND THAT RATE IN DISPUTE IS IN THE $3.90 CENT RANGE. THE ARGUMENT IS THAT THE OIL MINISTERS ARE WANTING A HIGHER RATE AND THE CBI IS ARGUING TO BEGIN AT A MORE NOMINAL MEDIAN RATE BUT THE OIL MINISTER SAYS THEY CAN'T MEET PAYMENTS TO THE PRODUCERS WITHOUT THE HIGHER RATE. NOTHING HAS BEEN SETTLED AND IT IS GOING TO REQUIRE MORE DISCUSSION. THEY ARE LOOKING FOR MIDDLE GROUND AND THE WAY TO ACCOMPLISH WHAT BOTH NEED...MEETING NEEDS AND REMOVING THE THREE ZERO'S WITHOUT CAUSING UNCONTROLLED INFLATION. THIS IS EXCITING NEWS TO ME BECAUSE WHAT WE NEED THEM TO DO IS FRONT AND CENTER AND THEY ARE IN A HURRY. 3-2-2015 Intel/Newshound Guru Poppy3 ...NO RV YET BUT CLOSER THAN EVER AND COMPLETELY A FOREGONE CONCLUSION ITS JUST AROUND THE CORNER. I AM SO HAPPY TODAY AND IF YA'LL KNEW WHY YOU WOULD BE FULL OF JOY ALSO. 3-2-2015 Newshound Guru tlm724 Article: "Parliamentary Finance searching with the Governor of the Central Bank of the issue of the Iraqi dinar and the abolition of zeros" we have several diff source articles for this...basically all the other articles are saying the same thing...lets have a talk about getting rid of the zero's. you all do realize how fast things are happening don't you? I am talking about the fact that we are smack dab in the middle of the currency reform. 3-2-2015 Newshound/Intel Guru BGG the one thing our Baghdad contact has maintained is Baghdad needs money to fight ISIS. Period. He felt like one of the main ways to get it was via currency reform - ''removing the 3 zero's"... it seems a little early to me based on the press releases over the last few days - but what do I know?? This is an emergency. 3-2-2015 Intel Guru Hocus Pocus [via Guru Jester] NO CHANGE OVER THERE... BUDGET NOT IN THE PAPER... THEY ARE STILL OPTIMISTIC AND THE NEWS FEED SAYS SOON THEIR MONEY WILL BE WORTH MORE... SAME INFORMATION WE HAVE BEEN GETTING FOR A WEEK. 3-2-2015 Newshound Guru My Ladies DINAR LAND THINKS THE OPPOSITE, THEY THINK LAWS NEEDS TO COME FIRST, AND SALARIES ARE PAID THEN WE ARE NEXT, BUT NO, NO NO NO NO NO, YOU CAN NOT DO THINGS IN REVERSE LIKE THAT, BASIC BANKING PRINCIPLES. IF THEY GO INTERNATIONAL AT 1166 THEY ARE NOT GOING TO "RV" OR "RI" AFTER THAT. THE SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK LIKE THAT. IF THEY GO INTERNATIONAL AND PASS LAWS AND PAY SALARIES AT THE IMPOSED RATE THEN THEY HAVE DEFIED ECONOMICS AND WE ARE IN FOR ANOTHER 10 YEAR WAIT. WELL 5 AT LEAST BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT THEY SAID THEY NEED TO FINISH THEIR MONETARY REFORM. WE ARE STILL IN THE GAME AS OF TODAY. [post 2 of 2] 3-2-2015 Newshound My Ladies THE WAY I SEE THINGS AS LONG AS NO LAWS REQUIRING FUNDING ARE PASSED AND NO SALARIES ARE PAID, AND NOTHING IS HAPPENING CAUSING IRAQ TO CROSS BORDERS WE ARE OK. YES WE ARE STILL WAITING, BUT WE ARE STILL HOPEFUL THE WAIT IS SHORT. NOW IF WE SEE MONEY MOVING, AND INTERNATIONAL OBLIGATIONS BEING FULFILLED, AND THE SMART CARDS BEING ACTIVATED WITH NO RATE CHANGE THEN WE WILL NEED TO BE REALISTIC WITH WHERE WE ARE. SO HERE IS HOPING FOR IRAQ ADOPTS A CURRENCY VALUE OTHER THAN 1166 AND DOES IT BEFORE MAKING ANY MANY CHANGES IN MONEY AND POLICY. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned] 3-2-2015 Intel Guru Jester THEY ARE WAITING ON SOME THINGS TO BE SIGNED WITH THE US... ALL INDICATIONS ARE THE BUDGET IS READY TO GO... THIS IS JUST SOMETHING THAT HAD TO HAPPEN WHEN THE BUDGET WAS READY TO GO... OTHERWISE IT WAS A MOOT POINT...LOOKS LIKE THINGS ARE GOING THE RIGHT DIRECTION.... I BELIEVE THIS IS JUST A SMALL HOLD UP... THAT THINGS ARE STILL GOING JUST FINE... THE BUDGET JUST NEEDS TO BE PRINTED INDICATING THINGS ARE DONE AND THEN POOF... IRAQ WILL BE ON IT'S WAY. 3-2-2015 Newshound Guru Millionday [They can't RV without the Article 140 implemented, right?] UNDERSTAND THAT THE BUDGET DISTRIBUTION IS IMPACTED BUT CBI HAS REPORTED THAT INVESTMENT FUNDS COULD BE USED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE MONETARY POLICY. SO AS FAR AS AN ACCURATE EXACT TO THAT ANSWER -- IT CANT BE GIVEN UNLESS BY CBI WHO HAS THE INDEPENDENCE IN THE MONETARY POLICY. [post 2 of 2] 3-2-2015 Newshound Guru Millionday Article quote: "Office of the Prime Minister Saad al- Sabri, that the application of Article 140 of the Constitution after the procedure will eliminate Daash terrorist gangs in the disputed areas." THEY ARE NOT ACTIVATING ARTICLE 140 UNTIL DAASH IS ELIMINATED PER THIS REPORT. IT IS NOT THAT THE BORDERS ARE NOT BEING DEFINED -- IT IS THAT IT IS NOT AN EASY TASK WITH DAASH ON THEM OR IMPACTING THE PROCESS. [What is article 140...?] ARTICLE 140 IS PART OF THE CONSTITUTION THAT DEFINES THE AREAS THAT ARE PART OF KURDISTAN... IMPORTANT FOR COSTS AND BUDGET ETC. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned] 3-2-2015 Intel/Newshound Guru Backdoc ...A FEW MORE LAWS WILL LIKELY BE READ SO THAT ALL IS IN PLACE FOR THE ONE BASKET! THE LAW OF PARTIES MAY BE ONE OF THOSE GETTING FINISHED! WITH THE MARKET ECONOMY READY TO LAUNCH AT THE END OF THE MONTH, THEY ARE IN A HURRY TO PUT THINGS IN ORDER! IT MAKES SENSE THAT A RATE WOULD PRECEDE THE LAUNCH OF THE MARKET ECONOMY SINCE IT WILL TAKE A FEW DAYS TO ADJUST TO THE NEW CURRENCY! [post 2 of 2] 3-2-2015 Intel/Newshound Guru Backdoc WE ALL EXPECTED TODAY [SUNDAY] TO SEE THEM START TARIFFS AND TAXES AS THE ARTICLES INDICATED! EITHER THEY HAVE ACHIEVED THEIR GOAL ON REDUCING LIQUIDITY FROM THE PUBLIC FLOAT AND ARE SIMPLY WAITING TO LAUNCH EVERYTHING ALL AT ONCE OR POSSIBLY THEY ARE WAITING TO SEE SECURITY IMPROVE IN THE NEXT WEEK OR TWO BEFORE A RATE CAN BE RELEASED! WE KNOW THAT THE KURDS ARE NOW VERY HAPPY BUT THE SUNNIS HAVE ONE MORE REQUEST BEFORE THE NATIONAL RECONCILIATION IS COMPLETE, ARREST MALIKI AND BRING HIM TO JUSTICE! [post 1 of 2....stay tuned] 3-1-2015 Intel Guru WILDDUCK ...WARKA BANK IS GIVING OUT CARDS TO ACCOUNT HOLDERS, FIRST TIME EVER ...SO HOW DO THE DO THAT WITH OUT AN RV? [...guess something changed?] SO OVERSEAS ACCOUNT HOLDERS CAN ACCESS THEIR RV'D DINAR. [So we can really see the light at the end of this tunnel?] YES... LET'S SEE WHAT OVER NIGHT BRINGS AS BANKS OPEN AROUND THE WORLD IN A FEW HOURS.
3-1-2015 Newshound Guru BondLady "The World Gold Council announced (WGC), said that "the Iraqi Central Bank had bought 48 tons of gold during 2014, bringing the country's reserves of gold material by three times what it was during the year." Remember they already said they had enough reserves to cover one and a half right? "The Iraqi Central Bank to invest cash reserves of hard currency through the purchase of gold" So now they have more. 3-1-2015 Newshound Guru tlm724 "The Iraqi Central Bank to invest cash reserves of hard currency through the purchase of gold" Kinda looks like the CBI is heading (maybe considering) buying even more gold especially after the decline in gold prices in world markets over the past months. Gold is gonna cover everything the CBI wants to accomplish with currency reform including the deletion of the zeros. Brings the dinar up front with dollar allowing them remove the dollar imo. Gold has the value needed to protect and guarantee the economy...it's a safe haven for Iraq which contribute to maintaining the value of the dinar Iraqi. The decision to buy gold is to protect the dinar not the dollar! The dinar is safe no matter what the currency baskets does because it is protected! 3-1-2015 Intel Guru EXOGEN GETTING MONEY AND HAVING A FULLY IMPLEMENTED AND ACTIVATED HCL ARE 2 TOTALLY DIFFERENT ANIMALS. WHEN THE KURDS ARE 100% HAPPY, THEN IQD LAND WILL BE HAPPY! ARE WE CLOSER THAN EVER? 100% YES. 3-1-2015 Newshound Guru Millionday Article quote: "...The Iraqi government has bought 36 tons of gold bullion to raise the value of the Iraqi currency in the global markets..." CBI HAS BOUGHT MORE GOLD TO RAISE THE VALUE IN THE GLOBAL MARKETS --- THIS WOULD MEAN THEY ARE GOING TO THE GLOBAL MARKETS... IN THE NEAR FUTURE...WHOOPOW. [so where is the money coming from to buy this gold?] CBI HAS MONEY AND FUNDS THEY HAVE NOT DISTRIBUTED FOR BUDGET AND ALSO HUGE RESERVES...CBI INVESTED IN MORE GOLD TO BACK THE VALUE OF THE DINAR PER THIS REPORT. 3-1-2015 Newshound Guru My Ladies THE GLOBAL MASTERCARD WILL BE IN EFFECT IN PLACES OTHER THAN THE 4 ARAB STATES. THEY WILL BE GLOBAL, AS SOON AS THE GOI DEPOSITS THE MONEY TO RAFIDAIN THE CARDS ARE INTERNATIONAL. THEY HAVE BEEN EXPERIMENTING WITH TRIAL CARDS IN ABU DABI AND EVERYTHING IS WORKING FINE. ALL THEY NEED NOW IS TO FUND THE ACCOUNTS..THE CARDS WILL GO LIVE AS SOON AS THEY DO. 3-1-2015 Newshound Guru Millionday Article quote: "Rafidain Bank, announced its intention to issue smart card, in the coming days for retirees in four Arab countries." THE SMART CARD IS TO BE ISSUED IN THE COMING DAYS AND IT IS USED FOR BENEFITS FOR IRAQIS AS PROMISED -- SO IT WILL NEED TO BE ABLE TO BE USED THROUGH THESE COUNTRIES BUT -- PREVIOUS REPORTS HAVE STATED THAT THE SMART CARD WHEN ACTIVATED WILL BE ABLE TO BE USED GLOBALLY. THIS IS A HUGE STEP FROM THE BANK AND ALSO WILL BE ORDERED FOR ACTIVATION BY CBI PER DISTRIBUTION OF BUDGETED BENEFITS. [Will the rate attach to the Cards?] THEY WILL HAVE TO HAVE AN EXCHANGE RATE FOR THE CITIZENS TO USE THE CARDS OUTSIDE THE COUNTRY FOR THE LOCAL CURRENCY THEY STAND IN. 3-1-2015 Intel Guru Jester A BUDGET HAS NOT BEEN PRINTED YET... THAT IS WHAT WE ARE WAITING FOR...THAT IS STILL SIMPLY AN INDICATOR OF THINGS TO COME. 3-1-2015 Newshound Guru Breitling We're in a very very good spot. the 50 dinar note being taken off the market means more notes being taken off the market period end of story. The last report we got they were at 4 billion notes…at it's height they were at 9 billion notes. 3 things we know. We know the number that they're at…so they can raise the value whenever they want. 2. They're taken away even more notes by taking the 50 dinar note off. 3. They stopped the auction floor which is what they used to help keep the value of the note down…NOT up…they kept it down that way. What would be great to know…is remember the US dollar represented 30% of the markets inside Iraq. Who knows where they are at today. I would LOVE to see those numbers cause that would tell us a lot. [Post 2 of 2] 3-1-2015 Intel Guru TerryK IM PRAYING THAT WE RV TOMORROW [SUNDAY]...WHAT IM HEARING IS THIS...SUCKER RATE...RI...THEN RV BETTER RATE...THEN FLOAT...BELOW 3...HIGHER THAN 2...RV RATE BELOW 4...HIGHER THAN 3.50. 3-1-2015 Newshound Guru Tlar Some very intelligent people IMO got stuck in the float theory and haven't ever come around that the program to delete the zeros is back on. All the safe guards in protecting the currency also support that the deleting the zeros program is back on. It is very telling that the 50 is being removed, and the 250, 500, and the 1000 all are in the process of being replaced by expensive high security notes. All are less than a dollar and are not worth being counterfeited as witnessed by the fact they have never been counterfeited. It is only in a situation that the rate changes significantly that these not would need to be protected. And IMO we are seeing just that. The precursor to the deletion of the zeros project being implemented. [post 3 of 3] 3-1-2015 Newshound Guru Tlar Maliki then promoted Turki to be the Governor of the CBI thinking he could control him. Turki did not play ball with Maliki and went right back to supporting removing the zeros program within 30 days. IMO we know this because the articles that had been talking about deleting the zeros earlier under Shabibi had all but disappeared, having been replaced by articles stating the CBI intended to release the dinar at 1166 and float it up from there. But when Turki took over, within a month articles started to resurface again talking about deleting the zeros and have continued since then using the name deleting the zeros. [post 2 of 3....stay tuned] 3-1-2015 Newshound Guru Tlar ...the "delete the zeros" program is a real program. There was about a four month period in 2012 that Shabibi decided to change the program and we saw articles attesting to that decision. The decision had been made by Shabibi to just release the currency at 1166 and "let the market decide its value". He had stated that he was going to do this whether or not the government was on board. The float theory was not a theory but a real change in policy in late 2012. Shabibi had done this because every time he tried to implement the delete the zero program it was thwarted by Maliki. As we know, Shabibi did not get a chance to just float the currency because he was charged with crimes and removed by Maliki before he could do it. [post 1 of 3....stay tuned] 3-1-2015 Newshound Guru Breitling The intent of the CBI is EXACTLY the same…what do they want to do? They want to get it to a US dollar and after that they want to change the economic policies a little bit and get it to $3.00…and that's that. This [50 dinar note retirement] revealed to us the time frame…they are not going to come out at a buck…this tells us they are going to come out as a float. There is always a couple scenarios so we'll see how it goes…the wealth of the 50 dinar notes is going into your dinar coming up pretty quick so Happy Birthday! [post 1 of 2 stay tuned for the rest of the story] 3-1-2015 Intel/Newshound Guru Poppy3 RICH FRIENDS, EARLY THIS MORNING [SATURDAY] PARLIAMENT MEETING REPORTS SEVERAL OF THE MAIN LAWS WE BEEN WAITING ON WILL BE FINISHED AND IMPLEMENTED TODAY [SATURDAY] AND TOMORROW [SUNDAY]. THE ABSOLUTE RUSH IS STILL ON TO COMPLETE THE FINANCIAL REFORM AND CURRENCY REFORM AND I AM MORE ENCOURAGED THAN EVER. ALL INDICATIONS ARE THE NEW RATE WILL SHOW ANY DAY NOW AT ANYTIME. ANY SPECIFIC DATE WILL NOT MATTER WHEN THEY FINISH THEIR CHECK LIST THEY HAVE TO COMPLETE...WE WILL SEE THE NEW RATE AND ALSO THERE HAS BEEN MANY REPORTS THAT THE NEW RATE WILL BE CLOSE TO WHAT I HAVE ALWAYS STATED I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE IN THE $3.00 PLUS RANGE... 3-1-2015 Newshound/Intel Guru BGG [...can you tell us...what they are doing with the 50s over there...replacing for better security ones. or removing the 50 note for good?] ...that I do not know for sure...however, the change under the cover of a possible removing of the 3 zero's implication is VERY, VERY GOOD NEWS. 3-1-2015 Newshound Guru Backdoc [WE FELT VERY STRONGLY THAT THE TARIFF AND TAXES WERE TO START MARCH 1 ...DO WE STILL THINK THAT WILL HAPPEN?] HERES MY TAKE…IF WE DONT SEE THE RATE AND THEY LAUNCH THE TARIFFS AND TAXES IT WILL ONLY ACCELERATE WHAT WE WANT TO HAPPEN UNDER THE NEW MECHANISM. THE POINT HERE IS TO PULL OUT ANY REMAINING LIQUIDITY OR CASH OUT OF THE ECONOMY. IF THE RATE IS NOT GIVEN ITS BECAUSE THEY WANT MORE OUT!!! THIS WILL MAKE THE RELEASE OF THE LOWER DENOMS EVEN MORE SUCCESSFUL. 2-28-2014 Newshound Guru Aggiedad77 Article 140 is said to be delayed until DAASH issues are over...Former President Talabani has visitors...CBI is still in the news, slightly...Sunday still appears to be the launch day for the removal of the 50 dinar notes.
2-28-2015 Newshound Guru Millionday [do you think our back wall is now pushed back 60 days to get the 50's in?] NO I JUST THINK THAT THEY ARE BEGINNING TO REDENOMINATE PER THE REPORT WE HAD TODAY...TO REMOVE THE THREE ZEROS IS WHAT WAS SAID AND THE LACK OF USE OF THESE THAT WERE FROM THE 2003 SERIES... JUST A FIRST STEP. 2-28-2015 Newshound Guru Breitling 2. This tells us that instead of coming out at a certain rate, they are going to float it up little by little. 3. They are going to get more notes out of the market by doing this. The wealth that WAS in the 50 dinar notes goes into YOUR dinar…that's not bad news that's good news. The wealth of Iraq is not going anywhere it's just going to be crunched up and represented in the remaining notes. This is the way it works with every currency…With every country if they reduce it [Their currency]. [Post 2 of 2] 2-28-2015 Newshound Guru My Ladies MANY THINGS ARE TAKING PLACE IN IRAQ BEGINNING TOMORROW AND MOST OF THEM POINT TO THE COUNTRY BEING INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED. THE QI CARDS ARE GETTING READY TO REACH OUT AND TOUCH SOMEONE! THEY'RE SAYING THAT STARTING VERY SOON THE RETIREES LIVING OUTSIDE WILL RECEIVE THEIR PENSIONS ON THE CARD. UP TO NOW THEY HAVE BEEN SENDING THEM PHYSICAL MONEY. SO HERE IS ANOTHER SIGN THAT SPEAKS TO BEING INTERNATIONAL...THEY ARE SENDING THESE CARDS TO 4 COUNTRIES TO START. WE HAVE DONE SEVERAL COUNTDOWNS OVER THE YEARS, LET'S HOPE THIS OUR LAST ONE. 2-28-2015 Newshound Guru Breitling The CBI announced they are going to retire the 50 dinar notes at the end of April…we basically have 2 months [to exchange them]. Is this something BAD that's happening? NO…nothing of the sort! This does not effect everyone, but this effects me cause I have a ton of 50 dinar notes. Here are the 3 things that this reveals: 1. The reason they are taking the 50 dinar note out of circulation is because it's value is so low that it's not efficient. [Post 1 of 2 stay tuned for important points two and three coming shortly] 2-28-2015 Intel Guru Jester WE BELIEVE THIS THING IS CLOSE. WHEN SUNDAY ROLLS AROUND I AM HOPING TO BE ABLE TO UPDATE YOU ALL QUICKLY ON WHAT WE ARE HEARING...IT MIGHT TAKE SOME TIME FOR US TO SEE IT... BUT I AM BETTING WE WILL HAVE A GOOD IDEA... 2-28-2015 Intel/Newshound Guru tman23 AS FOR ANYONE SAYING THAT HERE IN THE USA THEY WILL STILL HONOR THE 50 IQD NOTE EVEN THOUGH THE CBI SAYS THEY NO LONGER WILL.......WELL THAT JUST ISN'T SO.....AND IF THEY SAY IT IS THEN ASK THEM IF THEY WILL EXCHANGE SOME OLD IRAQI SADDAM NOTES! 2-28-2015 Newshound Guru Kaperoni Article quote: "...the 50 dinars born "dead" because they are too small and can not be accepted compared to other groups." [I take this as just more confirmation of good things to come and it has started.] I do agree..and the time limit of only 60 days seems to tell me that they wanted to get this over with quickly so they can pursue that new policy. Quote: "A source in the CBI told the "term" that "the Bank does not want a conflict between the currency category of 50 dinars and 500 dinars in case of deletion of zeros from the last." I think the very fact that they mention deletion of zeros as a possible reason in this article implies that process is coming sooner than later. Especially when they are only providing 60 days to redeem. [...if an initial revaluation was coming first, the 50 note would definitely have value. to see it being removed leads me to believe the plan is already in place to come out with a float which means at least for a stretch of time the 50 note will have no significance and should be removed.] ...it will come out at 1166 and rise. Not including any correction that may occur. 2-28-2015 Newshound Guru Millionday THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING ALL DAY [FRIDAY] TO FINISH THE ENTIRE OIL AGREEMENT WITH KURDS AND IRAQI FED. THEY HAVE STATED THEY ARE VERY HAPPY WITH AGREEMENT ON BOTH SIDES. THEY HAVE FORMED A GROUP OF KURDS AND IRAQI MINISTERS THAT WILL MONITOR THE AGREEMENT. AS WE KNOW THEY HAVE ALSO AGREED ON FINANCIAL DISTRIBUTION SO NOW THEY ARE GOING OVER THE POINTS AND ENSURING THAT THE AGREEMENT IS ALL THAT BOTH SIDES WANT AND EXPECT. THEY ARE SPENDING A LOT OF TIME FORMING GROUPS TO WATCH ALL ASPECTS OF REFORM AND ADVANCEMENT -- IT HAS TO BE FOR SOMETHING OR THEY HAVE RUSHED AND WORKED LIKE THIS TO SIT IN A CHAIR AND THAT I DOUBT. PARLIAMENT MEETS TOMORROW [SATURDAY] AND THE NEWS IS NOT REPORTING MUCH AT ALL BUT WE HAVE HUGE LAWS ON THE AGENDA... 2-28-2015 Intel Guru Frank26 On Sunday the 1st of March in this 2015 ...History will change in Iraq. 2-28-2015 Intel Guru TerryK HOW CAN THEY JUST DUMP THE 50 DINAR NOTES...IS IRAQ MAYBE WANTING US TO PANIC AND DUMP THE INVESTMENT ALL TOGETHER...MAYBE. THINKING BACK TO THE DAYS OF KUWAIT, AND WHAT I LEARNED AFTER THAT BLESSING IS THIS...A LOT OF THINGS TO SCARE EVERYONE WAS BEING SAID. SO IF WE HAVE THE BLESSING THIS SUNDAY WHICH IS A STRONG POSSIBILITY THEN THAT WOULD NOT MATTER...JUST DUMP THE 50'S RIGHT. |

Highly aromatic, displaying lively grapefruit and citrus characters. Medium bodied and intensely varietal in character, dripping with green apple, lime and grapefruit flavours with subtle hints of honey and finishing with a steely, mineral streak.
Bright and lively with distinctive aromas of fresh peach and apricot, with some harder notes of minerality. Full and intense on the palate with the same fruits. Good length with a vibrant, precise finish of fresh grapefruit.
Riesling gives the finesse and class to this wine, Sauvignon blanc adds loads of aromatics, and the Marsanne and Roussanne provide complexity, weight and nuttiness to the palate.
The resulting wine is an exotic mix of citrus, stone fruits, passionfruit, guava and tinned pineapple which develops into a long savoury, nutty like finish.
The mouthfeel is rich and luscious without being overly oily, kept in check by a fine line of mineral acidity. -
Off-dry. Fragrant, pungent orange blossom and lime character that is sweetish on the palate, and has a long finish. Will reward cellaring.

Pretty sure it's steel, not iron. All of the tubing is hollow and has vent holes near the welds. That's common on cheap bike frames, but kind of off-putting on something decorative. They're not that easy to see because there's so much going on. On mine, some of the studs that hold the arms with the balls were not straight, so their spacing is a little irregular. Again, hard to tell. Also, one of the nuts stripped out, when I put it together. Mine also had a random extra loop welded on (little loops hold the balls). The glass balls make up for all of the poor Chinese construction. There are 35 of them and they make the whole thing look amazing! When assembling, do yourself a favor and use some small wire nuts when wiring the five light arms to the main wire. The instructions just say to twist them together, which is a fire waiting to happen.
We thought we were getting a real wrought iron light fixture and this is just cheap tubing that's has an antiquish paint spayed over it to make it look like real wrought iron. But, that is our bad. The real problem is the quality. There are 10 nuts that come with this light so you can assemble it. They are all supposed to be the same size and style and they are decorative nuts because they are part of the exterior assembly. Well we only had 9 and of those 9 only 4 were identical. THe 4 that were identical were too big. They just slid over the studs they were supposed to screw and tighten down on. I had to use JB Weld inside the nuts and then shove them over the studs. I had to let that epoxy cure overnight to guarantee they didn't fall off. The remaining 5 nuts were the correct size but the wrong depth. You could not tighten them down all the way because either the studs were too long or the acorn style nuts were too shallow. So the entire assembly flops around and you can't align the 5 arms to make it look symmetrical because it is all loosy-goosy. Total waist of money. They have since updated the description, but when we purchased this light it was advertised as having a 72"lg chain. Ours came with a 36". Our ceiling over our breakfast table is vaulted. So I had to buy 72" of antique brass chain and more electrical cord so I could modify this light to fit our needs. Do some research. We already replaced this 5-candlier fake wrought iron light fixture with a REAL wrought iron light fixture that is bigger for ***
I fell in love with this chandelier from the moment I spotted it on Overstock's website. It was one of the first items I ordered for our new home and although it stayed packed up in our old apartment for more than month, I knew it was perfect. I bought items for our new home from a variety of websites, including one very popular name brand store with pretty high prices. I was delighted to find this EXACT chandelier on that company's site for almost twice the price! As some have noted in their reviews, it took me about an hour or an hour and a half to assemble it, but it wasn't beyond me. I am not an electrician, but I have assembled just about all of the furniture in our home. And it doesn't matter what store/website you buy something, there will likely be some kind of assembly for it (even if it's just screwing on the legs/feet). I suggest assembling the frame, have an electrician hang it, and then put on the glass baubles and light bulbs. One person talked about it being cheaply made. I don't agree. Yes, it's isn't heavy and solid like traditional wrought iron. If it were, it would be a MAJOR pain to hang from the usual type of ceiling found in modern homes. You would have to find a beam in the ceiling and that would severely limit where the chandelier could hang and thus might put you at odds with your dining table or other furniture in the room. The arms are hollow and painted. Trust me when I say, you�and anyone else who sees it once assembled�will never believe it to be cheap or low-quality, at all. It's lovely in our kitchen. We have a simple, small kitchen with a cathedral ceiling and this is what makes the room. Every single person who's seen it comments on how beautiful it is.
The chandelier I received was missing the mounting bolt/plate, but there was (thankfully) two extra crystal balls in their place (packing error?). The packaging needed to be better--two pieces were slightly dented and one crystal had a broken loop, but in the end, after finding replacement pieces at the local hardware store, and using one of the extra crystals (what luck!), it all came together and is just what I wanted. It puts out alot of light! (5x60 watt bulbs) I gave it good rating because I think it's worth exactly what I paid for it, and having to find replacement parts was extremely annoying, but I love the design.
I highly recommend this chandelier to anyone considering it. It is exactly the same product as seen in the new Fall 2011 XXXXXX. catalog. My husband put it together in no time without any difficulty. It is heavy, color is fantastic and the glass balls are beautiful. You won't be sorry.
Its often hard to purchase something online like this, without seeing it in person. I was hesitant to order, but am very happy with it. It was fairly easy to assemble. The 25 crystal bulbs were a bit tedious to hang, but it just took a little patience. Two of the crystals were broke, and Overstock is supposed to be sending a replacement. Overall, its a great looking piece and I'm VERY happy with it ! Perfect for our dining room - not too big, just a classic look !
Very pretty chandelier.. I would give it a 5 if the metal was of better quality..it is still beautiful. I am very happy with this purchase.
I wanted the one from Pottery Barn, but this was so close to the same and less expensive. Looks great over my 48" round kitchen table
I loved this product from the time I saw it and it looks great in my dining room however big draw back is one of the lights doesn't work no matter what bulb I put it there it doesn't light up. it's frustrating but it's up there now I have to learn to live with it.
This chandelier is identical to "others" I was looking at. It was a small pain to get together and to attach the globes. Once it was installed it looked great until the heavy glass globes started falling off. One almost dropped on my daughters head! The tiny glass loop broke and the metal hanging device slipped through and it fell and broke! This has happened twice now. At first I was surprised that they sent 4 or 5 extra glass globes but not anymore. I recommend you check all of your globes before installing them to check for tiny cracks along the attachment areas.

I have a water housing for my D70 that I would like to sell.SPL Waterhousing for D70 camera plus three ports. This waterhousing was specifically designed for surf photography (see www.splwaterhousings.com for more info and photos) but works well photographing kids, waves, snorkeling, etc. It is waterproof to around 10 feet or so and is all you need to start photographing in the water. The camera or lenses are NOT included.I have owned this housing for about six years and it has served me well and produced some great shots. The housing includes a wide angle (or fisheye) port and a telephoto port. I am also including a second wide angle port that has some scratches. Unlike many of the dive housings out there, you do not need to buy a custom port for each lens that you own (a huge plus for this rig). The wide angle ports can be used with a Nikon 10.5 fisheye (or equivilent) and also works great for other primes like the Nikon 20mm, 28mm or 50mm standard lenses. The telephoto port was designed for the Nikon 105 (which I do not own), but this port works well with an 85mm or equivalent lens. $510 shipped. Want to give Nikonians a shot at it before I put it up for auction. The newer models go for $1500 and include only one port. Ports can be a few hundred bucks each, so I think this price is fair, but I'll entertain offers & feedback. I live in the East Bay, CA.- Scott

text: I've been lurking and reading. Allow me to apologise for the obvious offence caused by my rabid feelings about cups. It seems clear to me that those with happy cups experiences mainly seem to have postscript printers. If I had a postscript printer, I'd have been happy with it - It would have seemed easy to set up, reliable, etc. As it is, you got the pmr version 1 instead. And it was a minority report - for non postscript printers (1st sentence IIRC). I had wasted the Christmas holiday compiling it and ghostscript, trying every conceivable driver and setting, and all I got was 100 test pages of crap. For the uninitiated, can anyone demistify cups? Can anyone lay out exactly what cups does as it prints on to a sheet of paper? Not vague terms, but in an explicit fashion that will allow someone with an installation that doesn't work to test the various bits? If someone can do this, please undertake it urgently.We can test 'echo > /dev/lp0', kernel config, 'gs > /dev/lp0', and a2ps > dev/lp0, but when we give everything to cups, we can't check what it does. Either it comes out the other end or it doesn't. The web interface finds nothing. In the event of ghostscript using it's ppd file to write output for the printer, why does cups need a ppd? If it uses a2ps, why does it have ascii to ps filters itself? People can explain operation with every reliable program. As soon as something stops working, you can get it, make a few tests, and find the broken link in the chain. This feature seems lacking with cups. Hence the mixed opinions. -- Unsubscribe: send email to listar at linuxfromscratch.org and put 'unsubscribe blfs-support' in the subject header of the message

It was just a little kiddie pool in the backyard, unlovely pink-and-yellow plastic under the hot summer sun. But on those nights when Mom came home from the swing shift tired and met Daddy sitting in the kitchen angry, it was Amy's only sanctuary.
She wasn't a sound sleeper. Her parents still talked about how it had taken her infant self six months to sleep more than two or three hours at a time. During the school year, when her life was full of classes and friends and sports, it was easier to drop off, but summer nights were always more difficult. They were hotter, for one thing, and the long, indolent, inactive days often left her feeling too tired to sleep.
But mostly, it was because her parents had their arguments at night, right when Mom got back from the station. Daddy would send Amy to bed -- or at least her room, to pretend to sleep -- hours before. Then he would wait, sitting at the kitchen table and facing the door like a judge, hands folded in front of him, his massive shoulders and big, bald head stretching a hunched shadow across the wood. He always sat this way, when he waited.
Some nights Amy managed to drop off in the silent space of her father's waiting, accompanied by the light from the fixture over the sink that shone beneath her door. Some nights Daddy gave up waiting for Mom to get home, and left the light on while he went to bed himself at ten or eleven.
But most nights her father and Amy were both awake for her mother's return.
There was a pattern to it. The sound of car tires on the gravel driveway down the side of the house; the glance of headlights across the back fence, a flash of light visible through Amy's open window. After she killed the engine Mom would sit in the car, sometimes just for a few minutes, sometimes for ten or fifteen. The longer the silence, the worse Amy knew the coming storm would be. Then the car door would open and shut, and then screen door, and finally the house door. And then the voices would start.
Tonight Mom had sat in her patrol car for at least twenty minutes. And Daddy had told Amy to get ready for bed a whole hour earlier than usual. It was obviously going to be bad. So she was ready.
At the first rumble of her father's voice, Amy threw off her blankets and put her bare feet on the floor. She used her toes to find her suit, hidden under the bed. She shucked her thin cotton pajamas and pulled on the suit. Then she crept to the end of her bed, put one foot on the windowsill, and stepped through.
Amy landed in a dirt-filled flowerbed. All the flowerbeds around their house were barren and dry. Daddy watered the lawn, but Mom didn't like gardening and Daddy didn't want to pay for landscapers. One of Amy's chores was to make sure that the stringy green weeds that popped up and somehow flourished in the dirt were pulled, bagged in big black plastic bags, and thrown in the green garbage can. She had to wheel the can out to curb, too, every Tuesday morning. It was almost as tall as she was, but she'd learned to handle its bulk. She hadn't accidentally tipped it over in months.
Under her bare feet the dirt was a curiously neutral temperature -- not warm from the summer sun, not at this time of the night, but not cold yet, either. The grass was cold, though, stiff and prickly as she crossed the yard to the pool, in a clear spot by the back fence between the yard's two small trees.
A rectangle of light on the patio marked the kitchen window. Amy glanced over, saw her mother standing with her back to the sink, peeling her hair out of its tight bun. She had taken off her blue uniform shirt, and the white tank top she wore underneath only accentuated the hard muscle of her biceps, the solid strength of her torso. Daddy was big, but Mom was strong. Amy had seen her parents through this lens ever since the day that Daddy had joked about Mom never needing him to open a jar. Amy had been smaller, then, and so had the anger between her parents. Something to joke about instead of something to stay up because of, something to spend ugly words on, something to disturb the night with.
Amy slipped into the kiddie pool with barely a ripple. She was always careful, had never slipped on the slimy, uneven plastic bottom. She knelt in the shallow water, feeling its coolness creep up the fabric of her suit. Then she laid back. The coolness covered her, washed over her sweat-sticky body and her hot face. It turned her thin hair into a cloud of gently waving seaweed.
She bobbed up, her limbs floating to the surface, her bottom sinking. Amy arched her back and raised her arms over her head, skimming the water. The pool was big enough that she could almost do a full spread-eagle without touching its sides.
In her ears the sound of the water sloshing within the little square of the pool was magnified, modified. It was like the waves on a beach at low tide, gently sliding over the sand, frothing and bubbling, and gliding back to rejoin the sea. She combed her wet bangs out her eyes and blinked water out of her eyelashes. The night sky quivered above her and around. Darkness pricked with light, like a backlit canopy with holes punched in it.
Pull it away, Amy thought, that layer of darkness, and the universe was full of light. Full of stars, and glowing planets, and spinning galaxies which had nothing to do with little things like graveyard shifts, or anger, or shallow water on sleepless nights.

Nugent happy to bide his time
22 Jan 2010 - 09:40:27
On-loan striker David Nugent has told Burnley he will not consider making a permanent move to Turf Moor until the end of the season.
Nugent joined the Clarets on loan from Portsmouth in August and has scored three goals in 20 appearances so far this season.
Newly-installed manager Brian Laws is keen to land the 24-year-old frontman on a permanent basis.
However, Nugent has told the Clarets that he will only consider a permanent move away from the south coast club in the summer.
"He wants to stay here for the rest of the season," explained Laws.
"He wants to leave everything about his future until the end of the season and concentrate on playing.
"We are trying to talk to Portsmouth to sort out some kind of deal but that is taking its time at the moment."

Thursday, December 12, 2013
BOSTON (AP) — Doc Rivers picked up another win in Boston.
Jeff Green scored 29 points against his former coach, who was traded to Los Angeles last summer for a first-round draft pick. Jordan Crawford had 20 points and nine assists, and Brandon Bass had 17 points and 12 rebounds for the Celtics, who lost their second in a row.
Los Angeles led 73-71 midway through the fourth quarter when Darren Collison scored six straight points. The Clippers had an 85-83 lead with under 3 minutes left when Crawford made back-to-back 3 pointers. Boston cut it to five on Jordan Crawford's 3-pointer, but never got closer. |

Don't ask the kids unless you can handle the answer, and other truths about motherhood
I'm sort of fascinated by the upcoming movie, Mars Needs Moms.

So I asked them, just out of curiosity. […]

When you write about personal finance for a living, lots of folks ask for your advice about their own money issues and problems. That places me in a difficult position because, while I'd like to help, in many cases there are just too many variables when it comes to offering good financial advice to people I barely know. And then there's the "How dare you!" factor. That's especially common when you primarily give advice about the spending side of people's finances, …

BEIJING -- Pizza Hut plans to invest at least 200 million yuan (U.S. $24.1 million) to open 40 restaurants in southwestern China within two years, a company official said.
The company currently has 100 units in China, all of which are corporate owned restaurants (See "China Pizza Huts remain corporate units for now.")
Beijing Business Today reported that Pizza Hut spokesman Tong Ruoming said the chain has 10 restaurants in the region and wants more in the southwestern municipality of Chongqing this year.
Pizza Hut opened its first China restaurant in Beijing in 1990.

Jimmy Fallon Transforms Into Neil Young to Sing "Fancy"
'Tonight Show' host Jimmy Fallon loves transforming himself -- quite fully, and often kind of unnervingly so -- into famous musicians to sing unexpected jams to his audience. He last did it with Stevie Nicks, outfitting himself (both in look and sound) to resemble Tom Petty so that the duo could belt out "their" hit song "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around," and now he's brought that kind of attention to Neil Young.

Aliens are always en vogue when it come to blockbuster offerings -- after all, why else are audiences still clamoring to see another 'Independence Day' nearly twenty years after the original hit theaters, complete with one of cinema's best (and most misheard) line deliveries and an already embarrassingly dated take on how computer viruses work? -- but as much as we love to yell "welcome to Earf!" to nefarious alien intruders before a good old-fashioned face punching, there's one thing we love more: befriending them

Scarier Than Fiction: Which Recent "Based on a True Story" Horror Movies Are Actually True Stories?
Tacking on a "based on a true story" tag has always helped bolster the scare factor of horror films, but its usage has become increasingly more frequent (and less fact-based) in recent years – though that doesn't mean we're suddenly in the golden age of reality-based horror films. Just because a film boasts about its real world roots doesn't mean it's always true. What's really scary is how often it's not.
Andy Serkis Improvises a Conversation Between Gollum and Caesar the Ape on Conan

Jenny Slate's Accidental Anti-Drug Public Service Announcement
College is a time of exploration, adventure and self-discovery. For some people, that means "doing drugs."

Pitbull vs. Fallon in Giant Duff Beer Pong Game
Jimmy Fallon's love for turning basic drinking games into outsized (often, quite literally) versions of themselves is well documented, but the 'Tonight Show' host just might have reached the apex of his drinking game adoration when he challenged Pitbull (Mr. Worldwide, please) to a round of Giant Duff Beer Pong. Wait, why Duff? Because Fallon and his show have been camped out at Universal Studios in Orlando all week, and yes, this game is all about Duff Beer, the favorite fictional beer of 'The Simpsons.'
'Harry Potter' Trivia Is Not These Parents' Strong Suit
'The Tonight Show' is down in Orlando for the week, and although the 'Harry Potter' theme park they overtook is packed with families, it's really for the kids, because it doesn't seem as if any of the parents in attendance have ever even picked up a book. Need proof? Jimmy Fallon sent out a writer to quiz some park-goers (no kids!) about some basic 'Potter' trivia, and the results were kind of dismal.
Jason Momoa on Aquaman in 'Batman v Superman,' His Gruesome 'Game of Thrones' Death
Jason Momoa is tight-lipped. Sure, the former 'Game of Thrones' and future 'Batman v Superman' star is happy to be on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' to chat it up with professed big fan Jimmy Kimmel, but he's not going to let anything slip about the worst kept secret in Hollywood right now -- that he's playing Aquaman in the next major DC comic book movie. Admittedly, though, he sure looks nervous about it.

Some Celebrities Don't Think Jimmy Kimmel's Mean Tweets Are Mean Enough
'Jimmy Kimmel Live' host Jimmy Kimmel likes to have fun with his recurring "celebrities read mean tweets about themselves" segments, which always manage to be fun and strange and not too painful. Of course, if you know anything about Twitter trolls, you know that the tweets the Kimmel team picks are not nearly the meanest of the mean, they're just the right mix of rude and amusing. There are certainly much meaner tweets out there, and some celebrities actually want those.

I agree with this...because a person that is self rated is wasting his time playing usta. you basically have to watch who you play and beat. If you are self rated and go out and kick in some computer rated bench mark player...you are hosed up. That was part of my arguement to the woman. If it is already decided by computer who should win and who shouldn't, why are we even going to show up in SC or whereever and play. You've already decided who is going to win basically and if it doesn't go that way, you are going to punish the so called underdog. it's bs and that's why people do a lot of things they do, they need to clean their stuff up before trying to tell players to clean their acts up. Personally, I'm not going to go do 3 hours of reasearch on a team to figure out who is bench mark and who isn't but I know a lot of captains and teams that do and that's why they win.

But that is my exact point, that because it is such an obvious loophole to avoid strikes, I doubt the USTA would implement it this way. A more reasonable way to do it is to have strikes occur when individual match dynamic ratings exceed a threshold. That way, it is harder to game the system.

The British period
The area of present-day Uttar Pradesh was gradually acquired by the East India Company (a British trading company) over a period of about 75 years, from the last quarter of the 18th century to the mid-19th century. Territories wrested from a number of powers in the northern part of the Indian subcontinent—the nawabs, the Sindhias of Gwalior (now in Madhya Pradesh), and the Gurkhas of Nepal—were first placed within the British province known as the Bengal Presidency, but in 1833 they were separated to form the North-Western Provinces (initially called the Agra Presidency). The kingdom of Oudh, annexed by the company in 1856, was united with the North-Western Provinces in 1877. The resulting administrative unit had borders almost identical to those of the future state of Uttar Pradesh. In 1902 the name was changed to the United Provinces of Agra and Oudh (later shortened to the United Provinces).
The Indian Mutiny, a widespread revolt against the East India Company in 1857–58, was centred in the United Provinces. Sparked by a mutiny of soldiers at Meerut on May 10, 1857, the revolt spread within months to more than 25 cities. In 1858, with the revolt virtually crushed, administration of the United Provinces and the rest of British India were transferred from the East India Company to the British crown.
With the rise of Indian nationalism beginning in the late 1880s, the United Provinces stood at the forefront of the movement for independence. It gave India many of the most important nationalist political leaders, such as Motilal Nehru, Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya, Jawaharlal Nehru, and Purushottam Das Tandon. Mahatma Gandhi's noncooperation movement of 1920–22, designed to shake the foundations of the British Empire in India, spread throughout the United Provinces, but mob violence in the village of Chauri Chaura (in the eastern part of the provinces) caused Gandhi to suspend the movement. The United Provinces was also a centre of Muslim League politics.
Throughout the British period, there was extensive development of canals, railways, and other means of communication within the provinces. The British also promoted the growth of modern education, and a number of colleges and universities were established.
Uttar Pradesh since Indian independence
In 1947 the United Provinces became one of the administrative units of the newly independent Dominion of India. Two years later the autonomous states of Tehri-Garhwal (now in Uttarakhand), Rampur, and Varanasi, all within its borders, were incorporated into the United Provinces. With the adoption of a new Indian constitution in 1950, the United Provinces were renamed Uttar Pradesh and became a constituent state of the Republic of India.
Since independence, the state has maintained a dominant role within India. It has given the country several prime ministers, including Jawaharlal Nehru; Nehru's daughter, Indira Gandhi; and Atal Bihari Vajpayee of the Bharatiya Janata Party. Prominent leaders of national opposition (minority) parties, such as Acharya Narendra Dev, one of the founders of the Praja Socialist Party, also have hailed from Uttar Pradesh. At the state level, politics have tended to be fractious.
Soon after the formation of Uttar Pradesh, unrest developed in the Himalayan regions of the state. The people there felt that the state's very large population and physical dimensions made it impossible for the government, seated in Lucknow, to look after their interests. Widespread unemployment and poverty and an inadequate infrastructure contributed to their discontent. Their demand for a separate state gained momentum in the 1990s. Agitation was heightened by a violent incident in Muzaffarnagar on Oct. 2, 1994, when police fired at pro-statehood demonstrators; a number of people were killed. Finally, in November 2000 the new state of Uttaranchal (renamed Uttarakhand in 2007) was carved out of the northwestern part of Uttar Pradesh.

Striking a conciliatory tone, agitating Air India unions on Wednesday decided to hold talks with the management over the gag order issue.
"We have been invited by the management for talks and we are going to attend it. We will also meet the Chief Labour Commissioner and place our demands," Air Corporation Employees Union (ACEU) General Secretary J.B. Kadian told PTI here.
Over 20,000 employees, including engineers, went on a nationwide flash strike on Tuesday to protest Air India's gag order — a circular prohibiting union leaders from going public with their demands.
With the striking employees unrelenting on their demand for withdrawal of the gag order and the show cause notices to union leaders, the AI management toughened its stand late Tuesday threatening to even terminate service of the employees if they did not call off the stir.
Passengers faced a harrowing time on Wednesday as the airline cancelled 76 domestic and international flights across the nation.
On Wednesday, over 50 domestic and international flights were cancelled while several others were delayed by over two hours.
Air India has announced full refund to those whose flights were cancelled and made arrangements for hotel accommodation and local transport to those in transit.

Please Register or Log in to Remove this Advertisement! I wasn't able to watch. What happened to Blanchard? Damn... I wanted that kid to get some time in.
No offense, but is this a big deal? Our season doesn't rise or fall depending upon Blanchard or McCown. We are done if either has to start more than say two games. And just like no one is going to pick up JM if he's cut, no one is going to poach MB off the practice squad either if he's sent there (and he does have another year of eligibiliy). These two players are not "key", either of them.
It's been discussed almost to the point of beating it to death that McClellin won't hold up as an every down end on either side of the line playing at 245-250lbs which is where he is again. He put weight on only to lose it right back again once camp started. So you are right when you say they need to move him around and use him much like GB uses Matthews but still within the context of a 4-3. He wouldn't have played as much RDE as he did if Pep was playing but on that sack he showed exactly what makes him dangerous. He's very quick and elusive and nearly impossible to block in space but at 250lbs or less he's not gonna win that many battles in hand to hand combat with 320-350lb OTs. He's a pure penetrator and playmaker and that's how he needs to be used. As a bullet and not a sledgehammer. That kid Whiteside is more of a sledgehammer because he's playing at a weight that McClellin can't seem to reach or keep on. But how do you label a guy as a bust that made a key sack and created a turnover that got you points? Come one man, that's not at all correct. You and everyone else who think he's a bust just because he isn't the every down DE he was promoted to be need to drop that kind of thinking. He's exactly what he was drafted to be, a playmaker whose gonna make impact plays all game long but isn't gonna be your typical four down LDE. If he can eventually add bulk and keep it on he may hold up better playing manned up on an OT but if not then you keep using him that way we have and if we do end up playing some 3-4 he becomes an every down OLB much like Matthews. I'd still rather have him playing for us than against us wearing green and gold which is where he may have ended up if we didn't draft him.
We should trade Webb to a team that plays the Bears. That would help Shea get a sack or two. I think its a good idea. Why not? We came here to win right?
It was disappointing that we didn't get a chance to see more of him. He got hurt on a sack trying to throw the ball away probably when he landed on his left hand or someone else landed on it. It's not his throwing hand and all they said on ESPN was that he was taken to the locker room for Xrays. I didn't hear any further reports after that but we'll know more in the AM. I didn't get a chance to see last weeks game but from what little I saw tonight the kid has good pocket presence and can make plays with his feet like Cutler can. We only saw it once tonight but as time goes by I think Trestman will use a lot more roll outs and naked boots with Cutler because he can do that very well. I don't see McCown having the kind of stuff it takes to throw on the run but I do think Blanchard does and with some coaching and more experience he looks like a kid who can step into a #2 spot and HE may be the guy we build some "read option" stuff around. He can run and if his college career and last weeks performance is any indication he can throw pretty well too.
Blanchard was given high praise last week, outside of the one bad int, and while running for his life, he made some really nice downfield passes.
No offense taken. Yes, personally, I think it is a big deal for the following reasons. 1) I have been a proponent of Cutler. I still am, but judging from this game, the things he needs to correct have not been excorcised yet. They may never be. There is a chance that a new QB will be needed. I don't give a damn where a person was drafted... only how that person performs Blanchard has done well in college and seems to be able to play well in the NFL. At the very least, I think we are looking at a competent backup QB. His only reps are going to be 4 times in preseason games. 25% of his possible reps just got eliminated. In addition, for the second time, the guy has been running for his life. That means the depth we have at OL sucks. Not that we didn't know it, but we got to see it in living color. Twice. So that is more bad news as it pertains to a possible injury of the players on the OL. So when you have a good player that needs reps to get better and now he can't... Well, yeah, that's a big deal. We really don't have a longer term BU solution at QB. McCown is not long term and he just is a solid guy that will keep you in the game and MAYBE win it. Blanchardhas the potential to be a guy that can win games for you and after this preseason chances are he won't be able to continue his development until next year. He will practice on the third team, but that won't make him better by much. More just keeping him in football shape and upping his football IQ for next year.
