U.S. Auto Sales Estimates Cut as Confidence Slows Rebound
Analysts are reducing estimates for U.S. automobile sales for 2011 and 2012, citing weak consumer confidence that has slowed the pace of recovery since May.
J.D. Power & Associates lowered its estimate for U.S. auto sales in 2011 by 300,000 light vehicles to 12.6 million, the Westlake Village, California-based researcher said today in a statement. J.D. Power reduced its estimate for next year by 600,000 cars and light trucks to 14.1 million.
The reduction by J.D. Power follows analysts at IHS Automotive in cutting expectations below the sales forecasts given by General Motors Co. (GM) and Ford Motor Co., the largest U.S. automakers. JPMorgan Chase & Co., Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and RBC Capital Markets LLC also shaved estimates this month.
"The thought of a second-half recovery is just not in the cards," Jeff Schuster, J.D. Power's executive director of global forecasting, said today in a phone interview. "It really comes down to consumer confidence and consumers just don't have any right now. There just really isn't a strong reason to go make that big-ticket purchase."
Consumer confidence in the U.S. economic outlook slumped in August to the lowest level since the recession, raising the risk that spending will dry up. The Bloomberg Consumer Comfort Index's monthly expectations gauge dropped to minus 34, the weakest since March 2009, from minus 22 in July.
Applications (INJCJC) for unemployment benefits climbed last week to the highest level in a month, Labor Department figures showed today in Washington.
Goldman Cuts
Goldman Sachs today lowered its 2012 U.S. auto sales estimate by 1 million light vehicles to 13.5 million. The New York-based investment bank sees 12.8 million deliveries this year. RBC Capital earlier this week lowered its estimates for 2011 by 200,000 units to 12.5 million and by 700,000 to 13.3 million for next year.
"Fragile U.S. consumer sentiment and recently tempered economic expectations" led to the reductions, Seth Weber, an RBC Capital analyst based in New York, said in an Aug. 16 research note.
IHS Automotive reduced its estimate for U.S. auto sales in 2011 by 200,000 units to 12.5 million light vehicles, Rebecca Lindland, an IHS analyst, said in an Aug. 11 phone interview.
IHS cut its estimate for 2012 deliveries in the U.S. to 13.5 million vehicles, from 14.7 million, Lindland said. The Lexington, Massachusetts-based researcher also lowered its estimate for 2013 light-vehicle sales to 15 million from 15.5 million.
Himanshu Patel, a JPMorgan analyst, lowered his 2011 and 2012 estimates by a combined 700,000 vehicle sales, to 12.8 million this year and 13.5 million next year, in an Aug. 5 note.
GM, Ford Estimates
GM and Dearborn, Michigan-based Ford forecast at least 13 million new-vehicle sales in 2011, including medium- and heavy-duty trucks. The U.S. averaged annual light-vehicle deliveries of 16.8 million vehicles from 2000 to 2007, according to Autodata Corp., a Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey-based research company.
"There's a lot of turmoil in the business and turmoil means uncertainty, so we're a little unsure of these numbers," Chief Executive Officer Dan Akerson of Detroit-based GM, told analysts Aug. 9.
GM fell $1.34, or 5.4 percent, to $23.60 at 4 p.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite trading, the lowest since its initial public offering in November. Ford (F) declined 73 cents to $10.38. The shares have plunged 38 percent this year.
No 'Snap Back'
J.D. Power sees a 12.1 million seasonally adjusted annualized rate for August. Analysts and automakers had been predicting a "snap back" in demand once inventories recovered from the March earthquake and tsunami in Japan, which disrupted production and led to shortages of parts and finished vehicles.
"We're not seeing that snap back, and given all the variables out there it's a lower probability that we're going to see that happen this year," Schuster said today.
Sales ran at a seasonally adjusted annualized rate of 12.2 million through the first two weeks of August, Edmunds.com said in an e-mailed statement. The Santa Monica, California-based researcher still predicts 12.9 million deliveries this year and 13.9 million in 2012.
J.D. Power's estimate for full-year sales assumes that the industry will average a 12.8 million seasonally adjusted annualized rate in the last four months of the year, Schuster said. Lower gasoline prices and higher spending on sales incentives may help the sales pace accelerate to those levels late this year, he said.
If the pace of deliveries stays about flat, sales may finish the year at 12.4 million, according to J.D. Power's estimates.
"If August comes in at the level we're expecting, that gives us a really clear indication that we're running out" of time in 2011 "to get going again," Schuster said.

"There are a number of volunteering opportunities in Sutton and schemes like this will let more people take part in them." Ann Kinahan, Director, Sutton Citizen Advice Bureau, said, "We are so grateful to the volunteer team from the Council for coming in to do this, especially during the school half term week. Our interview rooms have no windows and are always rather gloomy. This facelift will be very much appreciated by both our clients and our volunteer advisers." The CAB has seen a dramatic rise in the number of clients during the recent economic recession and has received more than 5500 requests for help in the period between January and March 2010. Volunteering opportunities in Sutton include working with the CAB, the Refugee and Migrant Network Sutton and The Volunteer Centre. Other opportunities include becoming a Young Advisor, taking on a Civic role or simply helping out in a variety of community settings. Volunteers Week is an annual event which celebrates the fantastic contribution that millions of volunteers make across the UK. The week plays a huge part in raising the profile of the millions of volunteers who regularly contribute to society, while inspiring others to get involved too.

Workshops - General InformationThomas Ashley-Farrand (Namadeva Acharya) (1940-2010) was the author of Healing Mantras, Shakti Mantras, and Chakra Mantras as well as The Ancient Power of Sanskrit Mantra and Ceremony in three volumes, and more than a dozen other audio and video programs. After searching for a spiritual home, he met Satguru Sant Keshavadas in 1973, moved into his temple and shortly thereafter became an ordained Vedic Priest, practicing and teaching mantra practices and performing Sanskrit ceremonies since 1973. He wrote most of the workshops listed below, and since his passing, his widow, Satyabhama (Margalo Ashley-Farrand) has been traveling and presenting them. She has also written the Shiva-Shakti workshop described below. A standard workshop is two days in length with a preceding Friday night puja open to the general public. The cost of the workshop is $175.00 per person. For those who cannot attend both days, a single day rate is $95.00. While the Friday night puja is included for attendees of the workshop, the requested donation from the general public is $35.00. The Friday night pujas are often one or 2 astottaras of 108 Names and Powers, and rarely1,000 Names and Powers ceremonies with some variations. Those usually conducted are for Lakshmi, Vishnu, Shiva, Ganesha, Dattatreya, the nine planets, Lalita, and Gayatri. Attendees are given an opportunity to participate in the ceremony which is a departure from traditional Hindu pujas where the priests alone conduct the ceremony with minimal participation even by sponsors. To schedule a workshop in your area, you will need to have a minimum of twenty (20) paid attendees. Satyabhama arranges and pays all of her own travel and accommodation expenses, including travel, accommodation and workshop materials expenses. One day workshops must have thirty-five (35) paid attendees at the rate of $95.00 each unless two, one-day workshops are scheduled back-to-back on the same weekend in the same location for a joint fee of $175.00. Then the number of attendees can be cut back to 25 required paid attendees. Any scheduler of any workshop has complete authority to award partial or full scholarships to those who need it. Each workshop attendee receives a detailed handout and an audio product with all mantras chanted during the workshop. At the close of all Two-Day workshops, all will participate in a healing session of Dr. Wright's Cleaning Out Technique Two-Day WorkshopsMantra - A Path to Abundance and Spiritual EvolutionThe mystical Sanskrit language works directly through the chakras. Directing energy into the subtle body, Sanskrit mantras prepare us to receive higher amounts of kundalini energy into the spine. This energy solves problems, eradicates karma, and aids us in fulfilling our desires. During the workshop, you will learn mantra methods for addressing life's problems in the areas of health, relationship, abundance, employment, family issues and others. In addition to solving problems, most us want to advance spiritually. Mantra methods for quickening spiritual evolution will be presented. Group Mantra practice will take place at all sessions. Highlights: Participants will…
Myths and Mantras of GaneshaGanesha is the pot-bellied, benevolent son of Shiva and Parvati that is a favorite among many who read or are told the mythical stories from India. For the advanced sages and mystics, he takes on epic proportions. He is the entire universe contained in a single form. He is Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva unified into one figure. In some of the Puranic scriptures, he is an aspect of Krishna as Parvati's older brother. When Brahma can't create the universe, Ganesha comes to his aid. When Vishnu is asked to destroy demons, it is Ganesha who shows him how to accomplish the task. In us, he sits at the base of the spine where every energy channel in the subtle body is connected to his location there. This workshop will teach Ganesha mantras that even experienced practitioners have never seen before. These mantras to invoke his help in every aspect of life will be taught while folded into enjoyable myths and stories from a variety of scriptures, along with Bhajans and Kirtan. Here is a sampling of what kinds of mantra attendees will learn:
The Adventures of Sita and Rama, Co-Starring HanumanSeven thousand years ago, the Seventh Avatar of Vishnu arrived on Earth to restore divine order by defeating two demons repressing saints, sages and the general population. Rama and Sita, representing the Divine Self and the Pure Kundalini Shakti, manifested to defeat the evil ones and show the way for individuals to live a truly spiritual life while living in the world. This workshop will give the set-up of Rama's appearance that occurred thousands of years before his arrival and then convey the adventures of these Divine Ones. The allegorical lives of Sita and Rama, with Divine Servant Hanuman, are filled with adventure, mystical mantras and dramatic struggle. Rama is the Self within. Sita is the Kundalini Shakti. Ravana (the villain) is negative, selfish ego. Bharata, Rama's brother, is the mind. Hanuman is the Prana, or life force within. The entire program is a fun, entertaining way to learn many new mantras and solve problems. Mantra Discipline Taught to Attendees Attendees will learn the Secret Bala Atibala Mantra Discipline for great strength of spirit. You will not find this mantra in books about the Ramayana in English. Texts by saints, sages and scholars refer to it, but do not divulge it. General Description
Other Highlights
This workshop is usually second in a series after: Myths & Mantras of Ganesha. The story is terrific and the mantras especially healing. Lakshmi: Shakti (Power) of Success, Abundance, Royalty, and RealizationThe workshop will begin with a powerful Lakshmi puja/worship ritual in Sanskrit. The ancient rishis of eons past and present-day sages worship the Great Feminine. It is She who powers and empowers everything and everyone. There is no dispute about this among all the diverse Eastern paths to spiritual and material attainment. Today, we seek to improve our lives in every way. Why not go directly to the source of all improvement? Whether it is spiritual or material abundance, success in running our lives or a corporation, protection of ourselves or loved ones, healing though elimination of obstructing agents, or realization of the Supreme Truth, Lakshmi mantras present an easy, expeditious, pleasant and effulgently fulfilling way to achieve whatever end we have in mind. In the Laksmi Tantra, Laksmi teaches us in the first person. There she makes an amazing statement: "When you look out at the world, it is really me looking at myself through your eyes. So why not identify with me and become . . . everything?" The last part of the workshop will focus on development of a platform of understanding for the ideas and methods of the Lakshmi Tantra. This will be summary of the philosophies and practices of three great thinkers from India's rich history: Shankaracharya, Ramanujacharya and Madvacharya. Then the philosophy of Pancharatra will be summarized. With this as an in-depth preparation, study of the Lakshmi Tantra will commence Attendees will learn:

TD-Complete Submission
What to expect when you're expecting (an acceptance letter)
4.15 / 5.00 3,907 ViewsNote: The mouse and quality control buttons are invisible during the movie, but they will appear if you hover over the lower left-hand corner.
well, I've been retired from making real flash for a while now, and I figured that now was as good a time as any to jump back in. I spent quite a long time animating this, it's 5400+ frams not counting the credits, animated at 24 fps. personally I'm proud of the way it turned out, but I'll let you be the judge of how well you think it turned out. Well thats all that can be said, so this is DarkMatterClock submitting at midnight and wishing you a Merry Clockmas.
Merry Clockmas!
A very nice flash. My only real comment is that I feel that the clocks were not truly hopping... It didn't look like they were jumping, it looked like they were just mushing every two seconds.
i know it didnt look the way it normally does..i was trying to do something different...maybe it didnt go over the way i thought it would, i dont know.
That was the perfect animation. I usually do not enjoy clock crew movies, but that was just fantastic. A great way to start off Christmas morning, and a really entertaining animation. Every aspect of that flash was what I expect or wanted to see. Great shading, too. Wow. I really liked that! Keep making these, that really put me in the holiday spirit.
thank you very much for actually including something relevent to the way i make flash in your review, it really helps me plan for my next movie, if i make one. i appreciate it more than you think. anyway, have a merry christmas and a happy new year.
Heres the deal
I hate clocks but heres the deal is a decent flash so merry clockmas man
I'm willing to accept that compramise, merry christmas.
I liked it.
Nice job, and Merry Christmas.
thank you very much.
Good job, I read a review posted by DemonMessiah. I do agree with the clock stuff getting old, however; what I didnt like about them was the "computer voice". Since your flash was a music video, it completly by passed it. Im happy, liked the work.
And dude what was the music from? I think I remember it in a film but I cant remember.
This recording is from "Love actually" and thank you very much for the review!

Some of the World's events of late, leaves us drained of our hope for a better world, it is a test of our faith. We know that our Savior Jesus Christ is still in control,but we some times wonder -what we - can -do to help others. To keep ourselves encouraged and moving on each day,for me I have found listerning to The Gospel, be it , sermons in Churchs,reading articles in Faith materials, listerning to Gospel CDs and watching " Gospel's Videos.
Take the time to refresh your faith,by checking out this special website that I found, and here it is http://www.edwillmusic.com/ This young man is one of GodsPoets,I find listerning to his music -CD is very uplifting.. Check it out my fellow Care2 family. You will be truly blessed.......
Network Friends, I must share this awesome mind blowing site with all my new and old friends. A young lady asked me this question, " who controls your mind?" " are we in control or our parents or our friends. My first thought was , we control our minds, and then I referred her to a very enlighten site created by my internet mentor, now I will share with you and family and friends. The site is : www.ashegals.com ,There you will find a "Plaque" title " My Mind Is Mine. Friends this is great stuff, read and pass it on.
Memorial : Mr.Charles W. "Chaz" Williamson , Passed March 21,2007 in Naples Hospital ,Naples,FL. He will be remembered as a karate instructor and member of " The Williamson Brothers Band, of Bayshore, L.I. New York, And for his beautiful smile and one person who never met a stranger, a fun loving man, a father and good son. " Chaz" was also a writer and loved his children and family. We loved him , but God loved him more.We miss him, and thank God, we had him in our lives.


text: Started to send to support, but then decided it better for dev given that I already fixed my problems, but the third one that I ran across... Hola peeps, got a strange little problem. Googed and checked the archives, but couldn't find a resolution. Probably something minor, but can't put my finger on it. At anyrate, I installed XFree86-4.3.0, and got a small error: root at Name2:/usr/sbin# startx hostname: Unknown host Using authority file /root/.Xauthority Writing authority file /root/.Xauthority Turns out I was using the hostname from coreutils. Deleted it, forcing the use of the one from net-tools, in /usr/bin. That problem was fixed. Then I got this: root at Name2:/usr/sbin# startx Using authority file /root/.Xauthority Writing authority file /root/.Xauthority xauth: (argv):1: bad display name "Name2:0" in "list" command Using authority file /root/.Xauthority xauth: (stdin):1: bad display name "Name2:0" in "add" command So, I went back and checked the /etc/hosts file, from a quick clue handed me by google. Sure enough, due to my truely creative naming scheme, I had the wrong name there (Name1), and the wrong IP address because I'm using DHCP. Changed the name there, and problem solved. Now, the part that goes to dev: The error is gone, but what to do about the wrong IP address in /etc/hosts? Using dhcpcd to grab an IP and not sure whether this is a problem or not. If X is looking at the wrong IP address in that file, what harm can this cause? To set up the hosts file dynamically, where in the init scripts is that file going to be used (by anything), or is it even necessary to fix this? I touched on this a long time ago in a hint, but I never saw any problems with it, so it was forgoten. It wouldn't be that difficult to add 3 commands, a hostname command, source the .info file, and a do a sed on /etc/hosts, to ifup-eth0 to fix the file, I just need to know where it's important that the IP be correct and be certain that this does no harm and only good.

U.S. Cellular Field, Chicago, Illinois
CHICAGO -- Cesar Ramos helped keep his teammates off the field on a cold night.
Ramos and two relievers combined to five-hit the Chicago White Sox in a 4-0 win by the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday night.With a first-pitch temperature of 36 degrees, Ramos (1-1) pitched short, efficient innings. He gave up all five hits over five innings in his first scoreless start of the season. He started in place of Matt Moore, who had Tommy John surgery on Tuesday.It's cold. It's tough to get a grip on the ball," Ramos said. "But it's just about getting in and out quick and getting my defense off the field as quick as possible, and the only way I can do that is throwing strikes and putting the ball in play."James Loney had three hits for the Rays, who snapped a three-game losing streak. Ryan Hanigan hit a two-run double to give the Rays a 2-0 lead in the second after Loney singled and Logan Forsythe walked.Loney's single extended the Rays' lead to 3-0 in the third. Wil Myers scored after he doubled.White Sox starter John Danks (2-1) struggled with his command and a high pitch count. He allowed four runs and seven hits in 5 2/3 innings. He struck out four, walked four and threw a career-high 123 pitches.Danks said none of his pitches were working."I had moments where I was able to throw only one of four over the plate but none nearly consistently enough," Danks said. "It's hard to pitch 2-0, 3-1 to these guys. It's something we're definitely going to have to work on."The White Sox threatened in the fifth, loading the bases with a walk, a single and another walk. Jose Abreu grounded out against Ramos to end the inning. Abreu hit a walk-off grand slam in the White Sox's 9-6 victory over the Rays on Friday."If he gets a hit, they're right back in the game," Ramos said. "That's their big guy. I made a pretty decent pitch and (Evan Longoria) made an amazing play, charging for the ball and hit Loney right in the chest."Danks exited in the sixth after allowing a two-out, RBI triple to Desmond Jennings that made it 4-0. Danks has walked 17 and struck out 18 in 31 innings this season.Ramos departed after he allowed a leadoff single in the sixth inning in his sixth career start. He walked two but didn't record a strikeout. Ramos has started three games this season after making four relief appearances. He allowed one run in five innings against the New York Yankees in his previous start.Ramos threw just 65 pitches, but Rays manager Joe Maddon said he wanted to pull Ramos with Paul Konerko coming to the plate."He kept the ball down," Maddon said. "He didn't make a lot of mistakes up in the strike zone. They put the ball in play. They didn't hit him hard."Brandon Gomes threw three shutout innings and Juan Carlos Oviedo pitched a scoreless ninth.Maddon was ejected in the bottom of the eighth for his first ejection of the season. Home plate umpire Tim Timmons ejected Maddon after he appeared to protest Timmons' check swing call on leadoff batter Adam Eaton. Timmons called a ball after Eaton checked his swing on a 2-2 count. Eaton grounded out.The White Sox were shutout for just the second time this season. They were averaging 5.58 runs per game, second in the majors entering Saturday.Game notes
Before the game, the White Sox placed 3B Conor Gillaspie on the 15-day disabled list due to a left hand contusion, retroactive to Tuesday. Gillaspie is batting .302 with 12 RBIs in 16 games. He said he has been battling the injury for 2/3 weeks and hopes to swing a bat within 5-6 days. Marcus Semien started at third base. ... The White Sox added RHP Hector Noesi to the roster after they claimed him off waivers from the Texas Rangers on Friday. He was 0-1 with a 14.21 ERA in 6 1/3 innings with the Rangers and Seattle Mariners. He threw 1 1/3 scoreless innings Saturday. ... Rays RHP Grant Balfour stressed he was frustrated with himself and was not directing anger at Konerko when they exchanged words after Balfour walked Konerko in the ninth inning Friday. "It was competitive stuff coming out," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "I think Paul might have been watching the Blackhawks game." ... RHP Scott Carroll will make his major league debut for the White Sox on Sunday. He is 3-1 with a 1.57 ERA for Triple-A Charlotte. LHP David Price (3-1, 4.04) will start for the Rays.

For kids 4 and under this is a really great activity! There are quite a few kids there depending on which day you go and sometimes it can be a little loud. BUT, they usually get to see an animal (but not touch it). The kids always enjoy themselves and it's a nice excuse to go to the "other" side of the aquarium. This is an especially nice thing for an aquarium member to do- really helps you get the most bang for your buck! My kids loved it.

Art Place Hosting Peter Ferber Gallery Show
WOLFEBORO — The Art Place in downtown Wolfeboro will hold its semi-annual Peter Ferber Gallery Show featuring local well-known artist Peter Ferber's collection of new original paintings on Saturday, February 15,. The unveiling and artist's reception will commence at 9:30 a.m., and all are welcome to attend and meet the artist.
Ferber says "This show presents a variety of contrasts, not only among the various pieces, but also within individual paintings. The piece featured on the postcard for the show depicts a collection of old leather ice skates I found hanging in the cupola of a cottage on Meredith Neck, while the view out the windows is of a warm summer day. Upon entering an old lake's-edge camp, next to the old wood stove and granite chimney there stood an elegant Steinway grand piano. The delight of that unlikely discovery, combined with the sunlight across its ebony finish gives me the fuel I always hope for in a painting."
The owner of The Art Place, Barbara Gibbs, talks about her relationship with Peter. "I first met Peter Ferber in the early 1990's after he had moved to this area full time. I could tell that he was a gentle soul and a gentleman from our first meeting. Little did I know, however, that we would develop a wonderful personal and working relationship that has enriched my life and added a special dimension to my gallery. If you are one of the fortunate people who know Peter, then you know his kind nature and exceptional spirit. You also know that he has a love for nature, nostalgia, and the environment. His paintings seem to represent a nod to the past and a respect for the future."
Since 1994 Peter Ferber has painted the official posters for the New England Chapter of the Antique and Classic Boat Society's annual show, which also come as highly collectable artist proofs. Peter has exhibited in over 50 shows in New England and the Midwest. More than 100 reproductions of his work have been made, including over 70 limited edition prints. At The Art Place alone, he has had shows for the past 15 years. As his popularity grew, the shows were increased to be in August as well as February of each year.
His illustrations have appeared in national magazines, including Yankee, Antiques, and Connoisseur; and a number of books including: a retrospective of the poetry and prose of Doris Peel, entitled Journey To A New Day, and a children's book written by his wife, Jeannie Ferber, entitled The Tails of Quince and Flute in Semer Wood.
The artwork will continue to be displayed through March 1 or as long as available. The Art Place is the exclusive gallery for Peter Ferber's original artwork, and produces many of his limited edition prints. The Art Place is located at 9 North Main Street, downtown Wolfeboro. Visit on the web at www.theartplace.biz and facebook at www.facebook.com/theartplacewolfeboro. For hours or more information, call 603 569-6159 or toll free 866 569-6159.

Video: Bizarre Magnetic Ferrofluids Will Blow Your Mind

There is no CG in these videos. What you see is pure, awesome science. The black liquid mixture is known as a ferrofluid, and is made up of nano-sized iron-containing particles suspended in water or an organic solvent. When a magnetic field is applied, the particles puff out, creating some alien-looking shapes and formations.

Full user review
"An EXCELLENT timer for your computer!"
Visualization images are super for young children just learning about time.
Ability to make user interface smaller is also a great feature.
Anything free is a blessing in today's tight economy.Cons
Wish it would allow a user interface size adjustment method similar to other MS Windows® (dragging a corner of the window to re-size it) would be nice.
Those considering installing this program should be aware that the program's install screen comes with a couple of separate 3rd party program offers which require you to "deselect" the offer if you don't want the extra 3rd party program installed. (Might be why one user thought this program had malware included) Wish the offers could be included into one and wish it was an "OPT-IN" offer not an "OPT-OUT" as each update you have to remember to remove the check-marks otherwise you've installed an extra browser bar when you might have not wanted to. It's very understandable why the offers are being included since the program is free and the programer is trying to recoup some of his hard work and time through 3rd party revenue.Summary
I've been using this timer program for a long time now. Kyle (whom I don't know personally) has done a super job of creating a program that is useful and handy. He's very quick at pushing updates to resolve bug issues. It's seldom that you see someone update a program as often as he does much less when the program is free. Offering the program for free is what allows me to use it and I'm very thankful for that opportunity.
Recently adding the visual image was a great touch as it's made it easier for us to teach our grandson about time.
On a side note, the fix just made for the full screen bug seems to work but there's still a tiny second where the transparency overlay pops up (it disappears quickly so it's not a big deal)
It's a great program that does what it says it will do and then some. It's simple and free and well worth considering if you have a need for any sort of stopwatch, countdown timer, egg timer etc.

Niall Ferguson: More mistaken musings from the land of the Excel spreadsheet error
from Dean Baker
Harvard's standing in economic policy debates took a big hit when the famous Reinhart-Rogoff 90 percent debt-to-GDP growth cliff was shown to be the result of a simple spreadsheet error. Niall Ferguson's strange rant in the Wall Street Journal about the United States becoming the land of government regulation continues the downhill slide.
The gist of the piece is that the country is going down the road to economic stagnation and suffocating bureaucracy because of excessive regulation. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) is the main villain in this story.
It's fair to say that just about everything in the piece is wrong. Starting with the meat, rather than being some horrible burden for small businesses, the main effect of the ACA on the vast majority of small businesses will be to provide them with a subsidy if they offer their workers insurance. The mandate only applies to firms that employ more than 50 workers, most of whom already provide insurance that would meet the mandate anyhow. So these engines of innovation will grind to a halt if the government offers them subsidies for insurance? Interesting theory.
Ferguson then cites a number of hack studies that find enormous costs to regulation. The main trick in this sort of study is to add up every possible cost associated with restrictions without taking account of the benefits of these regulations. Read more…

best looking natural piink! looks good over bare natural nails. it makes my white tips pop. recommended to anyone looking for a natural look or pink for a french.
Absolutely the go-to pale pink for nails. If I want a subtle improvement to the appearance of my hands, this is all I need. It makes nails look whiter and healthier, and the shade is a sophisticated pink (it's easy to go too bubblegum). It could look like the natural shade of my nails if it weren't for the shine.
I don't have any interest in trying other pale pink shades because this is perfect. Easy to see why it's a cult favourite. Even my grandmother uses it on a regular basis.
Personally I only like one coat, two is a bit too white for me and not as natural-looking.

RIP beautiful Bubble Bath. OPI had to go and mess with you and turn you from a lovely milky pink to a milky peachier shade. I loved you so much before they ruined you. This was an awesome French manicure pink and I even liked a few coats of it on its own as a pretty, barely-there neutral or as a base shade under $OPI's Only Gold For You glitter topcoat. 5 lipsticks for the former shade, lost one for its current colour - I hate reformulations! If you can find an older bottle where it's more pink than peach, get it! Highly recommend...can't speak for the current bottle.
4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
A little bit too sheer for me. I wanted something more intense. However, it looks quite nice with several coats, or layered over a pale pink. Probably will not repurchase.
More reviews by californiagurlss24
i bathed in this, and let me say smoothest skin of my life...and sooo glossy!
Its better than having no nail polish on, so I wear it when I'm in a rush and my nails are not done. Other than that, blah.
***UPDATE*** A much prettier replacement is Essie's Mademoiselle.
i love this colour on me and i think it's so chic.
but i wouldn't repurchase because i'd rather look for a creamy pink.
id opi doesn't have an opaque of this then and only then would i repurchase
This is a beautiful pale, barely there colour. It's perfect for any occasion, because it's a totally neutral shade that adds a feminine, subtle touch.
It's very sheer, and I normally need 3-5 coats for opacity. Personally, I hate having a VNL (visible nail line), so it usually takes me a lot longer to paint my nails when I use bubble bath. I'm not too patient, so that's why I'm taking off one lippie.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I really like this color. Very elegant and feminine I really like it. The only thing that I found strange was that this past summer I got a pedicure and I choose this colour at the nail salon and it was a lot whiter than the one I have in my collection, so I am not sure if they had a different color before or what but either way I really like this color.
Beautiful subtle pink color, very light and looks great with my skin color (nc25). Works great with a french manicure, but also looks wonderful alone. It's just a very polished, elegant looking pale pink that is easy to pull off.
As for streaking, I only encountered that once it started to get old and seemed to dry up, that's the only reason I took one lippie off. Other than that it's my HG nail color.

50ml Size for all different types of leather.
Scratch Doctor's Leather Colour Restorer is an easy to use solution for restoring colour to faded and worn leather. The restorer is simply rubbed into the leather with a soft cloth (supplied). Restorer soaks into the the leather restoring the colour of the leather.
This product renovates the colour of leather items, both new and old. The colour restorer absorbs 100% into the leather so will not rub off.
First ensure the leather is clean. Apply Colour Restorer with a clean cloth (supplied) in a circular motion to ensure penetration. This is enough to completely restore the colour.
Take a clean cloth and buff the surface of the leather, ensuring there is no excess left on the leather.
Leather Colour Restorer can be used on all different articles of leather, from furniture and car interior to clothes, shoes, handbags and even equestrian leathers. It works on all colours of leather and all different grain types.
For Scratches. The restorer achieves best results on scratches that are a lighter colour than the leather, if the scratch is darker you will need one of our Leather Dye Kits
For Lighter Patches. The restorer needs to soak into your leather – to test this, put a tiny drop of water onto the damaged area and see if it soaks in. If the leather isn't absorbent, you will need one of our Leather Touch Up Kits (for small areas).

Elevenses - The Burmese dictator who wanted to buy United
Published: 07 Dec 2010 - 10:49:26
Elevenses has a heavy Manchester United theme today, leading off with the story linked Burma's dictator to a bid for the club.
According to a report in The Sun, Than Shwe contemplated a £634 million offer for United - in an attempt to win over the Burmese public and lift moral.
The news comes courtesy of WikiLeaks, and suggests Shwe's grandson was pushing him to make the offer in 2009. But Shwe ultimately decided it would be inappropriate so soon after 140,000 people died in a 2008 natural disaster in Burma.
- - -
Meanwhile, Manchester United have planned a James Bond themed party for their Christmas doo.
The bash will be called 'A Night in Monte Carlo' and come complete with casino tables. Wags will also be invited.
Elevenses can only assume Sir Alex Ferguson will sit in a large chair stroking a cat.
- FOOTBALL.CO.UK BLOGGER:Elevenses
- Elevenses is a high-energy performer who bites at the ankles of football and is not afraid to put a boot in. If it's in the game, it's fair game. Unsurprisingly Elevenses is served at 11am every weekday morning. So come and join us for a cup full of opinion and hilarity, and don't be shy if you've got a story you think we should cover.

I have Celiac Disease and have eaten lots of Gluten free pizza around the US. This is one of the worst pizzas I have experienced. The crust was tough and I didn't care for the sauce.
Excellent gluten free pizza. Sauce is very tasty. The pizza is only available in a small. It is a bit pricey, but makes a great treat.

A fun place to go. The pizza is really yummy, but you might want to dab it with a napkin before you eat it because it is a little greasy

Didn't get sick!! But ouch - $21 for a 12" inch pizza with 3 toppings.

Best gluten-free pizza I've had (aside from the crustless at Lou Malnati's in Chicago... but this is Houston!). Pretty pricey but worth it.

best pizza I've had since going gluten free. manager was knowledgeable about celiac disease and was very helpful

I long for a life of not a single responsibility, but your precious frail heart.
As we'll stumble upon each other, like onto an atlas of a forgotten district - you'll appreciate the lines on my face for they are an estuary of an ancient river, and I'll cherish the working blisters on your strong hands for they stood out proud of their diligence.
I haven't any other propositions. Affections shouldn't be afflictions, they should be easy and painless, smooth and transparent.
Complexity's never on the table.
Perfection of Monotony is.
Bon Appétit
