Honored Enemy: Legends of the Riftwar, Book 1 (Mass Market Paperback)
Not in stock. Usually ships in 1-5 days from the warehouse.
In the frozen northlands of the embattled realm of Midkemia, fate can form strange alliances.
It is nine long, bloody years into the ongoing Riftwar that is tearing Midkemia asunder. Having survived a disastrous encounter with their sworn enemy, the Tsurani, Dennis Hartraft's cold, hungry, and exhausted Marauders arrive at a frontier garrison—at the same time as a Tsurani patrol. But a more devastating threat resides within the stronghold: moredhel, a migrating horde of dark elves so deadly and vicious that the only hope for survival is if bitter enemies band together and fight as one.
Now two hostile groups must make their way to freedom, facing a common foe, braving the merciless elements, and haunted by the voice of conscience demanding, "what is more important, a man's life . . . or his honor?"

Because all 4 of these episodes were previously released, and the previous release(s) were referenced in the article, was hoping for comments on the packaging. I doubt that it's stackpack, but are each episode on their own DVD/BD? Did they group them? How are the discs in the case? Obviously, it's not going to be the same as 4 individual steelbook discs, but just something on how the release was done would be nice.
Additionally, in regards to the extras, are these the same extras from the original release(s), or are there new ones? If someone's debating double-dipping to get matching sets with the later volumes, this information is quite important.

|5 discs altogether, 3 dvd 2 blu-ray. The case is one of those slightly thicker blu-ray cases with two flippable pieces inside so none of the discs are stacked on top of one another. I haven't actually put them in yet so I can't tell you how the episodes are divided.

Speaking of special features, that Anime Expo panel was so cringe worthy. Some of the questions you would realize clearly couldn't be answered by the panel but Jaffe did his best. I wonder where all those guys are now
Really love this series nevertheless and all the special features are fun to watch. Heres hoping Funi don't skimp on the special features for the next set.

The blu ray sound and pic quality are more than reason enough for anyone to want to buy this again. At least that's why I doubled on it. Sure the first four pretty metal cases, plaque figurines, book and whatever else I can't recall at the moment that came with the dvds are nice but I've waited years for this to come back to life in blu! It was worth the wait. If you like anything about how comics are drawn with thick black line and the sight of blood makes you squeal with glee, then this is the shit to get. On blu-ray. And even I love the dub on this puppy. Just in time for Halloween too.
The 5 disc set comes in fat blu-ray case with a slip cover
Artwork on the case proper is reversible
The three reddish brown discs are dvd - sorry, I haven't even touched them.
The two black discs are blu-ray
Blu-ray disc 1 contains 4 episodes, 4 commentaries (Crispin and Talisan provide the commentary on ep 1 - which is the only one I've had time to listen to so far)
Blu-ray disc 2 contains

|I have the first 4 Steelbook volumes from Geneon and I love them dearly so I am not double-dipping. However, I may consider picking up the next set which comes with episodes 5-8 but ONLY if there is assurances that the set after that comes with episodes 9 and 10. I want to be assured that FUNimation will follow the releases through.

Completely agree lem, this was an easy double dip for me too for the BD upgrade and the extras. Can't wait for the next set.
Like everyone else still keeping the sweet steelbook originals with the books in my collection too even if those discs won't get played as much thanks to the remastered BDs.
Awesome, great news

It has dubtitles? Sweet! No way am I not buying this now. I've always wanted dubtitles to be standard, so the fact that they're on a release I was already intending to buy makes it easy to make the decision.

The only reason I missed the single releases because I really don't want to pay for content that contains only approximately less than an hour of material and with this brand new material, now I definitely want to go get it!
Yeah, Alucard is bloody insane but who doesn't love how incredibly badass he is as a vampire? With this coming out on Blu-ray for the first time and looking at the pretty picture, I know that I will get this into my collection real soon!

lem and NJ_, thank you for the information on the sets.
However, I do have to take issue with this comment:
I love how you assume that people have BD players, HD TVs, and want BD over DVD.[/sarcasm] My roommate, who is the one who wanted to know, nor I, have access to a BD player, and our TV has problems with clarity off of an Xbox 360's output. Neither of us can afford a new TV, nor BD player, nor do we have room for a HD TV. We're perfectly happy with DVD, and she's actually rather annoyed/upset that companies are forcing her to buy BDs just to get the DVDs she wants. And she regularly rants to me on how, for most releases, the picture quality is so minimally improved that it's not even worth it.

Where did you get the idea that it has dubtitles? What lem meant is that the Blu-ray subtitles are not locked to the Japanese audio like some of FUNi's BDs are.

It would be if I were still interested in Hellsing Ultimate, but it's taken far too long, and my interest has waned. Heck, I imported the first three or four OVA DVDs, but I didn't continue that after the US release died. US DVD v4 came out four years ago. _If_ I buy the new OVAs again at all, it'll be as a complete 10 OVA BD set.
I pulled those out of a drawer a month ago in order to give 'em away (or throw them away if no one at the local anime club is interested).
Three discs too many, but that's Funimation's way of doing things. At least Sentai would probably have been releasing the DVDs and BDs separately.
Yeah. Not much in the extras department to grab my attention, so I wouldn't object if the extras were stripped for a complete set (not that I expect Funi to do that at all).
I should hope that all of those would be there.

New Gardenia Help!
Hi, I have a few questions about my gardenia Jasminoides, that I purchased from an online vendor along with 2 other plants. I've had them for about 10 days so far under a grow light and they are all in Al's 511 mix.
1. The gardenia's leaves (smaller ones at the top) are kind of lighter green on the edges, splotchy-like in pigmentation. Why could this be?
2. There are white spots on the back of the leaves that are closer to the base. Could this be a fungal issue? The spots come off when I rub them.
3. There are some tiny holes that seem to form from once brown spots that have appeared on a few leaves. Is this a problem? I haven't seen any bugs on the plant.
4. It came with a yellowing big leaf at the base and so far there has been no spread of the yellowing to the entire leaf or other leaves, could this be normal?
Can anyone check these pics out and tell me if there is something wrong with my new gardenia? BTW, there is new growth emerging.
Sorry for rambling on and asking too many questions...
Thanks for looking! I wanted to make sure that this plant is in good health.
GrnThum. Not that I have great experience with Gardenia...but I do have a couple that I have had for 10 years or so and I have experienced periods where they have the colouration that you have mentioned!. I might just think that your plant is adjusting to being repotted and to a new environment. Gardenias are rather fussy and require a slightly acidic soil and also a humid environment. I would suggest you start feeding your plant with a balanced fertilizer and try to mist it daily if possible. As far as the white spots...I know mine often get white flies during the winter indoors..so do check on that being the possible cause?. Other than that you have a good looking plant there. Keep up the work and enjoy the fruits of your labour. I am sure the gritty mix will also serve it's needs well Hope this helps a bit. Ross.
I've had good luck with gardenias several years ago, and those I bought this summer are still alive and thriving.
I find they are quite vigorous if I start with a good small plant from an established vendor (not a Big Box), put it in something like Miracle Gro Moisture Retention Potting Soil, in a *small clay pot*, and grow it up from there. They grow quite fast in summer in this regime, and a plant received in a 4" pot might be in an 8" pot 6 months later. But it is moved up just one size at a time, and repotted only when the roots fill the pot.
You can tell when it needs repotting because it begins to dry out from a watering very rapidly. Then just pull it out of the pot and look at the roots. If the roots are vigorous, the whole rootball, soil and all will come out in a tight ball.
About fertilizer, I would go easy on that this time of year. Fertilize when the plant is actively growing and getting lots of light outdoors. Indoors, in winter, fertilizer stimulates weak, unhealthy growth that is susceptible to pests. You can burn the roots with too much fertilizer.
Remember that light, moisture and fertilizer have to be in balance. More light, more moisture and fertilizer. Less light, *less* moisture and less fertilizer. A plant can only grow to the limit allowed by the *least* available resource. In winter, that is definitely light.
What strikes me about your gardenia is that it seems so small and twiggy for the size of the pot. A gardenia I would put in a pot that size would be 6-12 inches taller and fuller, with many branches and so many leaves you could hardly see the stems. You would not be able to see all that pot around the two stems-- just the very edge of the pot.
A too-large pot is a death sentence for gardenias, because the most frequent cause of death for them is plain old root-rot. A too-big pot stays too wet and gets wetter and wetter, because soil that is empty of roots doesn't dry out fast at all. A pot even a few inches bigger will hold a volume of soil maybe four or more times as large as the smaller pot, and this empty soil gets soggy and sour in a very short time. The too-wet soild deprives the roots of needed air and they rot away. As the roots rot, the pot becomes even more "too big" and the rot accelerates in a death spiral.
When repotting a gardenia, it pays to pot it in a clay pot, as this helps keep the soil from becoming soggy and discourages rot. I keep them in a clay pot til they reach a size where the pot is too big for me to handle. For me, this is a 12" clay pot.
Use a pot that is not more than an inch or two wider than the actual root ball, and not too deep. If the pot is too deep, soggy soil accumulates at the bottom, even if the top of the soil seems dry, and yes, this encourages rot. If the pot is too deep, use 1-2" of white foam packing peanuts at the bottom of the pot.
At all costs, avoid the reasoning that the roots "need room to grow". Yes, they do, but they will die if there is too much empty soil around them. An inch of empty soil all around the root ball is planty of room to grow.
Honestly, your grdenia looks to me as if it should be in about a 6" pot, maybe 8" if the root ball is unusually big for the top.
About the pests, you can hose them off every few days if you are in a benign climate, or spray with something like Safer's pesticide. Or, if you prefer, spray with a solution of 1 tbsp of alcohol, 1-2 tbsps of dishwashing liquid like Ivory liquid to a quart of water. The soap softens the exoskeleton of the pests, and they drown. Repeat the treatment every three days until you don't see the pests any more.
Good luck.
Wow! Thanks for your advise guys, I like to hear other people's success and will take it into consideration. The container I have it in is big for it, but I purposely put less mix and planted it deeper in the medium.
I used Al's mix from the container gardening forum on this site since it does not allow for water to remain in the mix and drains very rapidly. When I got this plant, it was in a very tiny container and the root ball was so compressed, that I was unable to remove all the peat moss from the root mass.
I placed it in this container in order for the roots to stretch out and expand. I figured that since the mix drains so quickly, it would be ok to use a bigger size.
GrnThum. You'll have much better luck with it in a smaller pot. I couldn't emphasize this enough. Also, don't try to force growth. That will come all by itself as the light lengthens and strengthens this spring.
About the tight rootball -- I would still use a pot just one size up. Better to repot again in a couple of months than to use a pot too big now. If you have it, Superthrive in my experience does help roots get established in a new pot faster. But I don't think Superthrive will correct for a too-big pot.
Actually, with lights, you have a good setup for indoors growing.
I find a dose of Epsom Salts (magnesium sulphate) every couple of months (1 tbsp per gallon of water or just put on the surface of the medium and watered in at watering time) helps green up and toughen the leaves. Hard water + winter here = chlorosis for gardenias and jasmines. That might help your yellow-edge leaves.
Or, use *chelated* iron. Chelated simply means in a form for plants to take up. I have used both with good effects.
Hi, GrnThum. Here is a quote from the e-mail Almost Eden sends about an order. It discusses the too-big pot problem in a general way. Just remember that the problem is more severe for gardenias, which are very sensititve to root rot.
Just got this today with my spring order:
>>The best rule of thumb, is to up-pot plants to a size NO LARGER than 1 or 2
inches taller, and wider. You would not try to make a 1-year-old kid wear
size 13 man's shoes, would you? You would want a shoe size that fits, maybe
a size larger. What happens when you put a plant in a pot too-large is that
the roots grow right out to the sidewalls, and do not fill the soil as they
go, leaving a lot of soil in the center without many roots. If pot is taller
than needed, due to capillary action water stands in the low part, and can
cause the lower part to sour and hurt the roots. So you can get away with a
tall pot, IF you fill the lower part with styrofoam, or such, and shallow up
the soil. There can be exceptions! Fast-growers, like tomatoes, DO like the
large, but not too deep, pots. Plants do not mind getting some fresh soil.
When watering, remember plants should use their moisture in 3 to 4 days, or
it can sour.
Roots need oxygen, and they get that when water passes through the soil,
acting like a PUMP TO PULL FRESH AIR IN, AND OLD AIR OUT.I hope hearing this advice from another source will cause you to reconsider your pot-size decision.
BTW Almost Eden is an excellent source for jasmines and gardenias.
Lighter green on the edges indicates some sort of chlorosis. If you are using tap water I would suggest adding vinegar to your water. I mixed 1 tablespoon/gal of water for mine but your rate might vary.
I agree with mehitabel about gardenia and overpotting. It's always safe to use a small pot then potting up approriately than to use a big pot no matter how fast draining your soil might be.
The white spots you mentioned, could they be perlite from your soil? If not they might be pests, I would spray a mix of rubbing alcohol/water (50:50) just in case.
Although it is a bit difficult to tell for certain what those 'white things' might be, they sure look like whitefly nymphs to me. Would it be possible for you to take a clearer image for positive ID? Gardenias and whitefly go hand in hand. IF these are whitefly nymphs (or any other kind of pests like aphids) you have every reason to place a complaint with the online vendor.
The coarser your potting mix is, the less you have to worry about the size of the container. You are right about that. I would avoid (like the plague) any moisture control potting medium. Leave the plant as is and see what happens. Just make sure that you are watering sufficiently...the entire soil volume needs to be drenched. You needn't worry about root rot in that mix, unless the pot is sitting in drainage water, something that I know you will not let happen.
And with the days getting longer, this is a very good time to fertilize...especially since you are using a very coarse textured potting mix. I'd suggest that you find a soluble product (powder or liquid) for acid loving plants. Did you add the gypsum when you created your potting mix?
I will see if I could take a closer pic. But so far there seems to be no pests as far as I can see. I used Lime which I put into the mix about 2 days ago, a week after putting it into Al's mix. I am using Miracid but I have ordered Foliage Pro, it should arrive today.
Oh yes, I found that it must've been some residue from the nursery because I can see no damage to the plant. It was only isolated to a couple of leaves on the base of the gardenia.
The reason I limed was because the lime would provide Calcium and Magnesium. Even though the ph of the soil would rise, I will add vinegar with each watering and fertilization.
Hi Sam:-)
I had a feeling that is what it was when we last talked. That is what I see on any gardenia I buy, residue from pestisides...If it just wiped off, fantastic.
Wash all the leaves nice a clean with water.
As for pot size:
Many are right about watching pot size when growing in mixes that breakdown rapidly like bagged mixes, or anything you use with a majority of the ingredients being very fine particles such as peat.
This type of mix restricts you in many ways. A couple being that that kind of mix can take too long to dry out and accumilite salts in which you have to fluch at regular intervals.
Many more disadvantages can be found and explained at the container forums, which I think you are starting to grasp.
Good choise in mix, being the gritty that is;-) Once you get use to how it works and why it is your best choise, you can grow a 2 inch plant in a 2 gallon container or higher if you wish!
Again, your gritty mix affords you the opportunity to grow any small plant in any size container you choose without fear of 'root rot', 'stunted slow growth', and gives the plant a chance at growing bigger rapidly while it thrives.
One thing that no one has mentioned though, or at least I did not see, is that the 'salts' that can accumilate from fertilizers and or faucet water in thick soil mixes are deadly to gardenias..They are intolarable to these salts which will cause a slow to rapid decline in vigour of these beautiful plants by building to the point of toxity to fine roots.
Someone mentioned vinegar? GREAT idea! Reread that post.
Your gritty mix will help you avoid this issue too.
I would of used gypsum as Rhizzo explained, and not lime.
Here is a link for further info:

Sam: I just realized that you are growing in the 5.1.1 mix!
I was thinking 1.1.1 for some reason. All principles are the same except one thing: You would use LIME and NOT gypsum in that mix. Use the gypsum in the gritty mix.
Turns out that this Gardenia was sickly to begin with, some mosiac like yellowing kept appearing all over the plant.
I was not pleased with it since day 1 when I received it, it was a pale green and it was deeply root bound in a tiny container of compacted peat.
I was not able to remove the compacted peat from the roots which looked like a black songe, but transferred it anyway, to the 511 mix.
I managed to take some of the peat off but the roots were so attached to the peat, that any clumps that were removed, tore the roots along with it. Plus, there wasn't a lot of root material to work with anyways.
It did put out new growth but I noticed it was getting yellow on random leaves, I sprayed for bugs and waited a little longer.
Taking no chances, I checked the root ball almost a month later from repotting, and as I suspected, there were no new roots growing out of the peat mass. I don't think its going to make it but I will see what happens.
The other 2 plants I ordered from Almost Eden are very healthy and putting out new growth, the gardenia on the other hand, was not as I hoped it would be. You can't always win!
I did manage to find an excellent gardenia at home depot the other day and I took it home! It is full of buds and looks so healthy and vibrant. I definitely went ahead and barerooted this one, it was much easier to do because the roots were in soil.
The process took about an hour and I potted it in some 511 mix and watered it and used a little bit of vinegar in the water. It seems to have fared the repotting ok, and I noticed that 2 more buds are turning white and hopefully I will be able to finally enjoy this amazing plant!!
I was not gentle with the plant and while I washed away the old soil from the roots, I was anticipating that some buds and leaves would fall off, but to my surprise, it has not lost one so far! (fingers-crossed!)
Some Pictures of my new gardenia:
Thanks for looking!
Wow! What a difference some water makes! I woke up today to a droopy plant and saggy buds and was frightened that I may have a dying plant on hand. It turned out that it was thirsty, I watered it 2 days ago and didn't think it would need more water so soon.
I realized that since it was recently transplanted, it needs more water so that the roots will establish themselves. Now the whole plant has perked up nicely and the leaves feel normal as opposed to feeling soft.
So far the new gardenia has survived and is producing new growth and buds. It is doing fine, although it lost quite a few bottom leaves, which was either from overwatering or transplant shock. They were yellow before they dropped.
It hasn't shed any more leaves lately, so that's a good sign.
I threw out my first gardenia which I ordered online because it never picked up and seemed very sick. I didn't want to deal with it since I had a new one which is healthy.
Hey Cambellms,
You should read the post on this link and consider using one of the 2 soil-less mixes to transplant your gardenia into.
If the gardenia you have is still alive then try to repot it and wait and see.
This post explains the need of container plants and will help you save your plant.

Nullify NDAA: NH bill a big first step towards blocking indefinite detention
Three Democrats and two Republicans in New Hampshire are working together to push back against indefinite detention in that state.Details
Three Democrats and two Republicans in New Hampshire are working together to push back against indefinite detention in that state.Details
On Thursday, Snyder signed bill prohibiting any state agency in Michigan from cooperating with the U.S. military if it attempts to indefinitely detain a U.S. citizen without due process.Details
Scott Landreth of the Ohio TAC testified at the state house in support of resolution HCR41 – against NDAA indefinite detention powers.Details
HCR41 has had its Sponsor Hearing (12/3) as well as its Proponent/Opponent Hearing (12/10). Now it's time to vote it out of committee.Details
We were just alerted that there could be a committee vote on SB999, the Liberty Preservation Act, this week!Details
A bill that would prohibit any state agency in Michigan from cooperating with the U.S. military if it attempts to indefinitely detain a U.S. citizen without due process passed both houses of the legislature this week and will now go on to the governor's desk.Details
Ohio Representatives Jim Butler and Ron Young introduced HB354 on November 19, 2013. This bill specifically prevents state and local law enforcement officials in Ohio from assisting the federal government in any investigation, prosecution, or detention of any person in Ohio that would result in that person's loss of the right of due process.Details
Bill Sage didn't expect to become a leader in a fight against unconstitutional indefinite detention written into the National Defense Authorization Act.
But he did.
Like most local elected representatives, Sage took an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States when he was sworn in as County Supervisor in Allegan County, Michigan, Feb. 14, 2011.
Would Sage uphold his sworn constitutional oath?
Indeed he would.Details
Just days after Albany, New York passed a resolution as a statement of intent against indefinite detention, the Town of Oxford, Massachusetts followed up with another.
Under Massachusetts home rule law, a local community organized as a town preserves the open town meeting or the representative town meeting as their governing body rather than by the vote of an elected body like a town council. On Wednesday, by popular vote, the People of Oxford approved – nearly unanimously – a strong resolution primarily drafted by People Against the National Defense Authorization Act (P.A.N.D.A).
Like the one passed in Albany, the resolution in Oxford is not legally-binding – it is a mere statement of opinion and intent. It holds no force of law over the activities of town employees, or anyone else for that matter. But, it is a strong first step towards resisting and eventually nullifying indefinite detention (and other) unconstitutional federal powers within the Town, and the state of Massachusetts. As noted in our report on the Albany resolution, a non-binding resolution – with no force of law – is an important step because it follows James Madison's blueprint to resist federal acts within the states. There are 4 steps which James Madison advised for us to take to stop federal powers, and such a resolution is an important piece of that puzzle. (learn more below)Details
Albany resolution against NDAA indefinite detention is a great first step, even though it does not ban indefinite detention as one organization has claimed.Details
The Constitution. Every issue, every time. No exceptions, no excuses.
GET ACTION STEPS to support nullification in your state today.
Choose the issue important to you in your state, and get the tools you need to push back against federal overreach.

At the time of the Merger the share price was $6.35 and now is $2.73, a DECREASE in share price of 57%. So over almost the last nine years they have not created any shareholder value, but only have destroyed it. They have paid no dividends since September 7, 2005.
The company has made some good moves in restoring tobacco operating talent in the CEO seat as well as other key management positions.
Now with the recent moves in Finance by appointing Mr. Thomas as CFO and his experience as an investment banker it will hopefully now be a businessperson in the CFO seat and make the CFO position more impactful in running the business, not only just keeping the books. Operations cannot do it by themselves, it does need to become a partnership between operations and finance.
It is unusual for both the CFO and Corporate controller position personnel to be replaced at the same time, but hopefully this is a clear signal to everyone by Mr. Thomas that business as usual is over. I hear that people at the operating units are pushed to make difficult decisions, not sure if re-allocating the Vice President -Corporate Controller to a newly created position of Director of Supply Chain is walking the walk.
the total outstanding debt has not decreased either. Unfortunately this was always going to be the downside of a "merger" that should not have happened. The main players in the company are all ex STC and we all know how that company struggled over the years.....TC and HARKER dug this hole for their gain it would seem? While AOI's compertition ULT, make great gains and looks forward to bigger things, AOI retreats into a bunker. Why are they continuing with poor market return like Zambia? Get out of that market .
Don't see dividends anytime soon.
Then just go away and bother some other board. You add nothing here. Get bent.
the market is on fire and this stock has been on long term decline slope. No concrete plan to build value. what gives?they should invest in e-cig legalized pot etc

Unique scannable bar codes will start to show up in May 2009 on business- and first-class mail and packages. The codes should speed up processing of that mail and will allow businesses as well as post offices to track the movement and delivery of each piece sent.
Businesses can expect the bar codes to bring the same kinds of efficiencies in data mining and management found online to snail-mail billing and direct marketing.
The digital mail revolution, named "Intelligent Mail" by the USPS, will help companies zero in on their best sales prospects by much more quickly gauging response rates to mail offers and tweaking pitches if they flub.
It'll be a huge improvement over today's system of not knowing for weeks whether an ad or promotion was a hit or a dud. "By knowing exactly when a piece of mail has arrived, a company can use e-mail to follow up with the customer and make another offer," says Jerry Cerasale, a senior vice president with the Direct Marketing Association — assuming the person hasn't opted out of receiving e-mail from that company.
Intelligent Mail will deliver benefits on the businesses operations side, too. Customers won't be able to brush off collections calls by saying "the check is in the mail" because companies can verify that instantly. Analysis of mail and bill paying patterns can save businesses big legal bills, as well.
One company that participated in a test of Intelligent Mail reported saving $1 million by using digital mail feedback to determine when it shouldn't send past due bills to the collections department.

However, cable found some support there and rebounded to 1.4866 and continued to trade with a firm bias.
Bids are now seen at 1.4820/30 and more below at 1.4800/10 with stops building up above there whilst initial offers are noted at 1.4890/00, this suggests further choppy trading would be seen till NY open.

GBP/USD - .... Cable briefly rebounded to intra-day high of 1.4901 ahead of Asian open on Monday on news of ruling Conservative party has a 4- point lead ahead of the Labour party.
Reuters reported earlier British PM David Cameron's Conservatives have taken a 4 point lead over the opposition Labour Party on the eve of the start of official campaigning for a May 7 national election, a poll showed late on Sunday.
The poll, by ComRes for ITV News and the Daily Mail newspaper, gave the Conservatives their largest lead in the polling series since September 2010.
It put them on 36%, up 1 point from last week, Labour on 32%, down 3 points, the Liberal Democrats on 9%, UKIP on 12%, n the Greens on 5%.
Underlining how volatile the election is, an earlier poll on Sunday showed Labour Party has taken a 4 point lead over Cameron's Conservatives after the first TV encounter of the campaign.

This is an event filled week but generally not one that sees big bets ahead of the long Easter break. This week also includes month.quarter end so one thing seems for sure, expect more volatility, Whether there will be follow through is another issue as we will have to wait until a thin Friday when the US March employment report is released. This comes in a market where the focus is on the timing of a Fed rate hike, which the central bank has indicated is data dependent.

This past Friday saw what many like myself can only describe as a blatant example of just whats wrong with both the economy as well as the markets.
At precisely 15 minutes before the closing bell on Wall Street the now Chair of the Federal Reserve, Janet Yellen gave a press conference detailing further insights into upcoming monetary policy. I guess two days worth of FOMC discussions, along with a press conference detailing all that was discussed immediately after, followed by a question and answer session about all those insights and decisions wasnt enough. For the markets remained red for the week while losing all its post FOMC pop which in itself is an ominous sign.
I concluded: there was no other intent for this presser other than to signal the In Crowd You better get the heck out of Dodge because weve painted ourselves so deep into a corner this is probably the last time youll have a chance as to paint the tape in any upcoming quarters. For we might actually have to do what we implied (e.g., raise rates) regardless just to keep up the appearance that well do what we say. Even if so doing means creating turmoil. So dont say we didnt warn you. (i.e., Weve changed the meaning of data so many times now even we cant figure out what it means or, what we should do any longer!)

Reiterates must be mindful that effects of policy are felt with a lag.- If inflation fell further than it could weigh against rate rise- Labor market gains have been substantial and are likely to continue, there could be some value in allowing the jobs market to run a bit hot- Reiterates the expected path of rate rises is more important than the date of rate liftoff; rate liftoff like to be followed by more rate hikes- There is the possibility that GDP is likely to expand at a faster than potential rate in the coming quarters- Markets have been more pessimistic than the Fed- Reiterates that holding rates too low for too long could promote excessive risk taking. - Source TradeTheNews.com

At the fundamental level, to fall for and adopt FED's proposition of being hooked on some incoming data whose goal posts are forever flexible as guides for FED policy decisions is flawed at the core.
What it means is to unwittingly fall into same fog of confusion responsible for not recognizing the reasons for which their policies do not work in the real economy as peddled as stimulating consumer spending... and instead destroying purchasing power via debasing the currency, and now being peddled as "forcing" folks in a misguided theory that suggests to go out and spend it before it gets eaten up by bank deposit nega charges.
The FED and the rest of the CB crowd is unwilling to recognize that the common folk are debt saturated and that they are either unable or unwilling or both to take on more.
The zirp / nega rate policies are misguided in the measure that they aim to support the marginal folks of societies. Folks with money do not need zirp coz thy can afford to pay more.
Economic Beat: Slow Rise In Inflation Delays Fed Rate Hike

An interesting Saturday Fed Focus we have - watch what they do; not what they say - used to be the Fed didn't want to be the market focus on a day to day basis
How did we get here? What a difference from some years ago - we accept terms like Dual Mandate, Inflation Target, Normalization as Wisdom from the Mount rather than incomprehensible mutterings of an Oracle
Inflation is one of the most difficult economic concepts - it comes in many flavors and shows itself in different places (JP's oft asked question re: Money, Prices, Asset) - the Fed says it is trying to raise inflation but that conflicts with its actions over the past 5 years // Fed used to measure inflation by the GDP's implicit price deflator but G'span changed that in 1988 to the CPI and then again in 2000 to the PCE until PCE was restricted even further to PCE Core in 2004 -- there was usually a political element to such changes but the transcripts always show a long running wonky debate over many meetings // the PCE is very much different and even more flexible than the CPI (used by most inflation adjusted contracts, benefit plans and support agreements - try to find a lawyer that is willing to incorporate PCE in a divorce agreement, good luck!)
Then Ben showed up - his claim to fame was Inflation Target (now the dreaded 2%) that many CBs used and he wished to install at the Fed - But an official target was always anathema to non-elected policy makers - much of this was tied to the NAIRU cult (inflation and employment are joined at the hip) and one of its adherents was Janet Yellen - gradually the price stability goal of the Fed was supplanted by Ben (Mishkin was a collaborator in an 1997 NBER piece and 2001 Book INFLATION TARGETING) and became FED policy in January 2012 - But Ben assured one and all that we still had a DUAL Mandate
So now we have a target for inflation (precision without definition) and the second mandate even murkier, Full Employment - Congress in its Wisdom said 3% was the much ignored goal by every Fed, including Yellen - so we have the perfect foil for the economist heavy Fed because you can't get a numeric target for Full Employment (it's like Dark Matter or, if you prefer, Pornography, described by one Supreme Court who said he couldn't define it but he knew it when he saw it) -- the Dual Mandate language as a politically acceptable excuse for all the Fed's unconventional monetary policies was likely foisted on Ben by Janet - if you have the inclination see the FOMC Transcript from July 1996 wherein the wonkiness of Janet is on full display when she emphasizes the employment component of the mandate, tries to tie it to inflation and debates w/ G'span over Price Stability, long before Ben
Normalization - the fact that this Fed is still afraid to move at a time when interest rates are so out of touch with any other period of similar GDP, employment and inflation should be chilling to any of us involved in markets

The bottom line for Fed Chair Yellen's key policy speech late Friday is that the bias of the Fed is to move to normalize policy as soon as possible, but that decision is data-dependent. She warned that since inflation often arrives with a lag that the Fed may act BEFORE the Fed's inflation target is reached, but that the policy tightening will be gradual.
"To conclude, let me emphasize that in determining when to initially increase its target range for the federal funds rate and how to adjust it thereafter, the Committee's decisions will be data dependent, reflecting evolving judgments concerning the implications of incoming information for the economic outlook. We cannot be certain about the underlying strength of the expansion, the maximum level of employment consistent with price stability, or the longer-run level of interest rates consistent with maximum employment. Policy must adjust as our understanding of these factors changes..."

Economic Beat: Slow Rise In Inflation Delays Fed Rate Hike
Syd 06:31 GMT 03/28/2015
When will Janet Yellen & Co. finally declare victory over inflation?
Such a victory by the central bank used to mean curbing inflation's rise. Today, it means nudging inflation high enough so that prices start increasing by 2% a year, the hurdle that inflation must overcome before the Federal Open Market Committee begins hiking the short-term interest rate from the current target of 0% to 0.25%.
As noted last week ("The Ugly Side of the Fed's Reluctance to Raise Rates," March 23), vast numbers of investors and savers are getting hurt by this punitive policy, especially senior citizens who normally park their funds in bank certificates of deposit. If the victims were to stage a mass protest in front of Yellen's office to declare their grievances, one of their placards might read: "When will your FOMC finally decide that it's seen the whites of 2% inflation's eyes?"
In fairness, 2% annually amounts to a slowing of inflation over the long run. It translates to a doubling in prices every 35 years, and, in fact, over the past 35 years, prices as measured by the personal consumption expenditures price index have more than doubled, climbing by nearly 2.6 times. According to the better-known consumer price index, prices are 2.8 times higher than those 35 years ago.
I cite the PCE price index because Yellen herself has stated that it's the measure of choice. In recent testimony before the Senate, she was clear on this point: "The Federal Open Market Committee's 2% objective refers to the increase -- the annual increase in the total PCE price index that includes food and energy."
And in written testimony, she observed that "U.S. inflation continues to run below the committee's 2% objective," citing "the recent softness in the all-items measure of inflation for personal consumption expenditures (PCE)."
The bad news is that the PCE price index generally rises more slowly than the other index of choice, the consumer price index, as indicated by the numbers cited earlier on 35-year increases. So if Yellen had instead chosen the CPI, she would likely be able to declare victory for the 2% objective sooner than with the PCE.
That's because the CPI tracks a basket of goods and services that is generally fixed from one period to the next (at this point, based on consumer expenditure surveys for 2011 and 2012), while the PCE price index is necessarily more flexible. Designed to deflate nominal consumer spending and turn it into inflation-adjusted outlays, it must keep readjusting its weightings to reflect what consumers actually buy from one period to the next. Since consumers tend to shift from higher- to lower-priced goods and services when the opportunities present themselves, the personal consumption expenditures price index will generally rise more slowly than the consumer price index.
As Yellen has observed, "The PCE price index edged down during the fourth quarter of last year and looks to be on track to register a more significant decline this quarter because of falling consumer energy prices." Given her stated loyalty to the "all-items" PCE, it would appear that achieving the 2% target is unusually dependent on the trend in the price of energy. Weighed down by low energy prices, both the CPI and PCE have been running at around a zero rate.
But happily and not surprisingly, the Fed chair leaves herself a lot of leeway to interpret the trends according to her own lights. Since the effects of Federal Reserve policy generally take some time to be felt, changes in policy are supposed to be pre-emptive. And in that regard, Yellen specifically endorses "so-called core inflation that strips out" food and energy prices "in order to get a better forecast sometimes of the underlying trends in inflation." She even stipulates that, in order to get a handle on the future, "we look at the CPI, which is well known to most Americans."
The 12-month trend in the core consumer price index through February, released last week, ran at 1.7%, while the 12-month trend in the core personal consumption expenditures price index through January, was 1.3%; the February update on PCE will be released Monday. So bondholders take note: Based on either measure, we're more than halfway toward the 2% goal. Barron's

rather what it is not .. is it inconvenient ?
yeah, keeping it in a bank account in the form of digi-chitts it is inconvenient in more ways than one.
The day that social media world makes "demand physical cash at your local bank" trending will show Yellen and her crowd what "not convenient" is.
dc CB 23:28 GMT 03/27/2015
we found it remarkable that during the Q&A after her speech today that Janet Yellen, when asked about negative rates, admitted that
"cash in not a very convenient store of value,"
Rick Santelli then sums it all up perfectly...
"deflation is clearly the boogeyman... and the only thing that will save the middle class."

Q: can you help me convert 5 leaves/sheets of Gelatine to Vegetarian Gelatine?
Sheet gelatin comes in different strengths so there's no way of doing an accurate conversion without knowing the specifics. I would read the instructions on the box of gelatin you want to substitute and calculate how much to use based on the volume of liquid you need to thicken.

Anna Kendrick has a new interview with Collider promoting her movie, 'Pitch Perfect'. In the interview, one of the questions she's asked is whether she watches any TV show and wishes that she could be on it – Kendrick replies to this by saying, "I guess my silly dream is to be on Game of Thrones. I don't think that I can do that, but that's my silly dream. And there are a lot of American comedies, particularly on NBC, that I would, I would love to do."
She also talks about preparing for the role and doing in-depth rehearsals, saying, "Well, we had like a month of rehearsals and I actually showed up late for rehearsal because I was promoting 50/50 and probably shooting something. I think I was probably shooting End of Watch, actually. But I was nervous coming into it because a) I was late, and B) being the lead of the movie I wanted to show up and sort of prove myself and be good enough, and show the rest of the cast that I was going to be able to support them and I wasn't going to be the dead weight that they had to carry. So I really threw myself into the music and dance rehearsals. So I'm glad that we had that time period to do it. But, it was really just rehearsals. In the press notes they were saying it was like a cappella boot camp, but no. They taught us the music and they taught us the dancing."
Pitch Perfect is currently in theaters.
