Links to the best reading in funds investing:
Global stocks bounced back on Tuesday, but U.S. stock exchange-traded funds have been sluggish through the first half of 2015. Small-cap and growth stocks are doing best. Bonds are doing badly.
Here's a snapshot at how the largest U.S. ETFs fared over the past three and six months:
Bill Gross, the legendary bond investor now working for Janus Capital (JNS), weighed in on the market's fear du jour: bond market liquidity.
Gross says in his most recent, sprawling market commentary that markets haven't been tested in a long time and that investors should hold enough cash to avoid getting caught with a need to sell into a panicked market.
Bond market liquidity has been a hot topic of late. Investors including Howard Marks have voiced similar concerns in recent months. BlackRock (BLK) CEO Larry Fink recently shared some of his thoughts with Barron's. Bloomberg View's Matt Levine did a link-heavy deep dive earlier this month.
The debate mostly surrounds two facts, and their possible implications: Regulations intended to reduce financial-system risks have left bond dealers — banks — with less incentive to facilitate trading in corporate bonds. At the the same time, money has been pouring into mutual and exchange-traded fund that own bonds. What happens when there's a rush for the exits?
With that, here are some abridged highlights from Gross:
"Mutual funds, hedge funds, and ETFs, are part of the 'shadow banking system' where these modern 'banks' are not required to maintain reserves or even emergency levels of cash. Since they in effect now are the market, a rush for liquidity on the part of the investing public, whether they be individuals in 401Ks or institutional pension funds and insurance companies, would find the 'market' selling to itself with the Federal Reserve severely limited in its ability to provide assistance.
While Dodd-Frank legislation has made actual banks less risky, their risks have really just been transferred to somewhere else in the system. With trading turnover having declined by 35% in the investment-grade bond market and 55% in the high yield market since 2005, financial regulators have ample cause to wonder if the phrase 'run on the bank' could apply to modern day investment structures that are lightly regulated and less liquid than traditional banks. …
Aside from the obvious drop in trading volumes shown above, the obvious risk – perhaps better labeled the 'liquidity illusion' – is that all investors cannot fit through a narrow exit at the same time. …
While private equity and hedge funds have built-in 'gates' to prevent an overnight exit, mutual funds and ETFs do not. That an ETF can satisfy redemption with underlying bonds or shares, only raises the nightmare possibility of a disillusioned and uninformed public throwing in the towel once again after they receive thousands of individual odd lot pieces under such circumstances.
Long used to the inevitability of capital gains, investors and markets have not been tested during a stretch of time when prices go down and policymakers' hands are tied to perform their historical function of buyer of last resort. It's then that liquidity will be tested. …
So what to do? Hold an appropriate amount of cash so that panic selling for you is off the table. A wise investor from nearly a century ago – Bernard Baruch – counseled to 'sell to the sleeping point.' Mimic Mr. Baruch and have a good night."
Now you see me, now you don't.
Guggenheim Investments has sold its entire stake in troubled Hanergy Thin Film Power Group (566.Hong Kong), the formerly high-flying stock that's remained frozen from trading since the company lost $19 billion in market capitalization on a single day last month.
The sale means that owners of the Guggenheim Solar exchange-traded fund (TAN) appear to be finished with a six-week ordeal that's raised questions about the risks posed by niche ETFs. Two other Guggenheim ETFs that recently held smaller chunks of Hanergy, the Guggenheim China All-Cap ETF (YAO) and Guggenheim China Technology ETF (CQQQ), no longer own the stock either.
Guggenheim was able to sell its shares of Hanergy, which remain halted, via an over-the-counter transaction, a spokesman for Guggenheim confirmed. For the Guggenheim Solar ETF alone, that sale would have been worth about $20 million, based on this blogger's estimate.
See for yourself in the ETF's holdings, which are disclosed daily: no more Hanergy. As recently as April, Hanergy was the Guggenheim Solar ETF's top holding, representing about 12% of the portfolio. A Guggenheim's spokesman explained the motivation behind the transaction to Barron's, but declined to give additional details:
"We felt it was better to find a price now than try to seek liquidity later, and run the risk of it going all the way to zero."
Hanergy's blistering price gains — shares jumped nearly seven-fold over the span of a year — vaulted the company from near obscurity to become the largest solar company in the world by market value. Hanergy's price gains alone were responsible for half of the solar ETF's 40% year-to-date gain through early May, according to research firm Markit.
Then, as inexplicably as it rose, Hanergy tumbled 47% in less than an hour on May 20, and trading in the stock was halted. American investors awoke to find the Guggenheim ETF under heavy pressure: It ended the day down 7.8%, the biggest one-day slide since August 2013
The index provider, MAC Global Solar Energy, had originally said it would boot Hanergy on the day shares resumed trading in Hong Kong. That day hasn't arrived yet. Guggenheim's spokesman explains:
"Once the underlying index providers decided that it was in the indexes' best interest to drop Hanergy, Guggenheim did everything it could to seek liquidity for those shares in the best interest of our ETF shareholders."
Guggenheim's Solar ETF is down about 18% since its May high. Why not? It's tough to get excited about buying an ETF that appeared due for steep decline once Hanergy's shares resumed trading. For now, it appears that Guggenheim found a way for the ETF to dodge a second hay-maker. In the end, it even looks like the ETF was able to benefit from Hanergy's frenetic rally.
Activist billionaire investors Nelson Peltz is giving a boost to a cadre of water-themed exchange-traded funds on Tuesday.
U.K.-based Pentair (PNR), whose shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange, jumped 5% after Peltz's Trian Fund Management revealed a 7.2% stake in the company. Barron's Ben Levisohn notes that at least one analyst is less than enthusiastic.
Pentair, which makes pumps and valves, is a top holding in water-themed ETFs including the PowerShares Global Water ETF (PIO), PowerShares Water Resources ETF (PHO) and Guggenheim S&P Global Water Index ETF (CGW), all of which are edging the SPDR S&P 500 ETF's (SPY) gains.
Water-themed funds have been increasingly touted by Wall Street firms as a sound, long-term investment idea. Barron's Dimitra DeFotis chatted with a money manager about water stocks last year.
That's an easy-to-understand theme, given issues of global scarcity and droughts in places like California, but the ETFs have either clung to or performed below benchmarks including the MSCI World Index over the past five years, according to Morningstar.
Brokerage Charles Schwab (SCHW) said on Tuesday that it added nine exchange-traded funds to its suite of funds it offers without trading commissions.
Trading costs add up, and brokerages have been scrambling to boast more ETFs that come with $0 trading commissions in order to capture investors. Schwab's "OneSource" platform for the first time includes ETFs from J.P. Morgan Asset Management, as well four additional currency-hedged ETFs sponsored by WisdomTree (WETF). See the complete list here.
Who pays? Fund sponsors. Schwab's release notes that the brokerage "receives remuneration" from participating third-party ETF companies.
Fundamental indexing is great, but bolting on a price momentum component is best.
Gregg Fisher, chief investment officer at New York-based investment manager Gerstein Fisher, is out with a white paper on Tuesday that concludes "smart beta" strategies that incorporate both fundamentals metrics and price momentum perform best in historical models.
Fisher keys in specifically on a smart beta strategy know as fundamental indexation, a method advanced broadly advanced by Rob Arnott and Research Affiliates. Fundamentals-based indexation ranks stocks based on factors such as revenue and cash flow instead of by market capitalization, like the S&P 500.
"Proponents of fundamental indexation argue that market-cap weighting will tend to inherently favor high-priced stocks (recall the effects on market-weighted indexes of the tech bubble of the late 1990s) and discriminate against stocks that might be temporarily undervalued.
Indeed, the fundamental indexes we constructed in our study for both small cap and large cap stocks handily outperformed their benchmark market indexes during the 40-year period, with lower volatility than the indexes."
So, weighting by fundamentals is pretty good, both in small- and large-caps, according to Fisher's models. Index weightings by fundamentals helps exclude the market's priciest stocks and introduces a tilt toward value. But Fisher says layering in price-momentum components, in addition to fundamentals, work best. He takes an example of Lehman Brothers' shares, which famously flamed out during the financial crisis in 2008:
"A smart beta strategy such as fundamental indexation would not only ignore information in the market price but, because it's focused solely on the fundamental of book value, would actually signal to double down and buy more Lehman stock."
Fisher tested a couple other indexation methods and found the best performance for one that included value, profitability, asset growth, and momentum. Here's the conclusion:
"We decomposed fundamental indexation, a leading smart beta investing strategy, during a 40-year period. We find that this modified index has a strong value bent and does indeed outperform the market index by several measurements. But we also find that two alternative portfolio strategies that incorporate market price information generate even stronger risk-adjusted performance results."

U.S. stocks suffered their biggest one-day slide in 14 months, while the yield on benchmark 10-year Treasury notes fell more than on any one day since November 2011. No. 1 on the growing list of concerns is Greece: Voters are expected to hit the polls this weekend in a referendum that may well determine the future trajectory of the euro zone. All stock styles was hard hit: financials, technology and health-care and materials stocks each fell by more than 2%.
With stock trading in Athens closed, the Global X FTSE Greece 20 ETF (GREK) plummeted an astounding 20%, and on record trading volume. Meanwhile, stocks in mainland China continue to be under fire. Closer to home, there's hand-wringing over whether Puerto Rico will be able to pay its bills. The CBOE Volatility Index, or VIX, shot up a whopping 34%; the iPath S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures ETN (VXX) shot up 17%.

Principal Financial Group (PFG) has petitioned regulators for permission to launch an exchange-traded managed fund, the hybrid fund structure advanced by Eaton Vance (EV).
The filing illustrates how active-management-oriented fund companies are keeping their options open when it comes to planting flags in the fast-growing exchange-traded products industry. Principal's ETMF filing arrived as the company puts the finishing touches on its first actively managed ETFs.
A spokesman for Principal declined to comment on the ETMF filing.
What's an ETMF, you ask? Eaton Vance won approval from regulators last year for hybrid funds that don't need to disclose their holdings on a daily basis. Branded as "NextShares," Eaton Vance's ETMFs offer tax and intraday trading perks similar to exchange-traded funds, but, like mutual funds, these will be bought and sold at prices linked to the fund's end-of-day net-asset value.
An actively managed ETF, meanwhile, must disclose its holdings on a daily basis.
On Friday, Principal asked the Securities and Exchange Commission for "exemptive relief" for an ETMF, essentially an application that would allow for an eventual launch. That filing names the Principal Global Value NextShares Fund, which would own a diversified mix of stocks from developed markets.
Des Moines, Iowa-base Principal first filed for actively managed ETFs back in 2013. A regulatory filing updated earlier this month outlines the Principal EDGE Active Income ETF, which has been assigned a ticker (YLD) and operating fees (0.85%, including fee waiver). This actively managed ETF will be subadvised by Edge Asset Management, according to the filing.
As exchange-traded funds and other investing vehicles have ballooned in number, the task of figuring out what works well and what doesn't has only gotten harder.

Romulus Pumpkin Festival
You can watch them roll, soar through the air, or simply sink your teeth into the pie variety. We're talking, of course, about everyone's favorite autumnal orange veggie – and it's taking over once again during the Romulus Pumpkin Festival, back in town Sept. 19-21, 2014.
This family affair kicks off in earnest on Friday night. Head down to Goddard Road at 8 p.m., when a dazzling parade of lights steps off. Visit the Romulus Senior Center, too, for a rousing round or two of bingo, which happens 6-11 p.m. and benefits the city animal shelter.
The weekend is when all fun breaks loose! Start your Saturday with a pancake breakfast (8 a.m.-noon). There's also the Cruisin' 2014 Car Show on Goddard – and loads of kids' fun at Historical Park, including pumpkin rolling, sack races, sand darts and a treasure hunt (times vary).
Saturday also has "punkin' chuckin'" for cash prizes (3 p.m.) and spaghetti dinners (5-7 p.m.) at the Community United Methodist Church, where kids under 5 eat free.
Plenty more is in store on Sunday. Check out the sixth annual tractor and lawn-tractor show (9 a.m.-6 p.m.), giant airplane races (noon), marshmallow races (12:30 p.m.) and 1:30 p.m. pumpkin pie-eating contest, all at Historical Park. Looking for something fresh? Newer events include a beer tasting for mom and pop (1-5 p.m., $10/person) and "crazy shoe croquet."
All in all, expect lots of delicious eats, games, prizes, musical performances, food and fun at your fingertips. Both weekend days, you'll also find a "white elephant sale" at St. Aloysuis.
This yearly fest, around since 1997, has turned into a popular event with the locals. Come ring in fall with the entire family.
Check out the Metro Parent listing for more information about the 2014 Romulus Pumpkin Festival.

I am originally from a small town in North Carolina. Our farm has been in the family close to 100 years. My grandfather, saved enough money to buy the farm from a white owner. The white owner agreed to sell him the land on time. Granddady put $800. down on the farm and agreed to pay $500. a year until it was paid. He went to the white man house and overheard him tell another white man, "I'll have the farm back from him in less than 3 years. When he looked around, he wanted to know how long he had been standing there? He told him not long. Then he went to an old school teacher who took him to apply for the Federal Land Grant money. My grandfather got the money, presented the check to the white man and he REFUSED TO TAKE THE CHECK. He eventually had to take it. To get even, the white people in the neighborhood got a truck full of white men and shot 10 of my grandfathers hogs. There was nothing you could do about it in that day.
Years later, the farm was passed on to my father, and uncle. As a little girl, I would go with my father and the people would never lend him enough money to operate the farm. (All six of the children was born and raised on this farm in the family house) They would lend him a small amount and send him down the road to borrow from someone else at a higher rate. Farmer's Home Loan told my father that he did not have to take out insurance on the land (so the loan would be paid for if he died) so when daddy died Farmers Home Loan tried to take everything including the house. They said that daddy owed $75,000 on the 26 acre farm. They sold it on the court house step AND WOULD NOT ALLOW THE CHILDREN TO BUY IT. A REAL ESTATE PERSON BROUGHT IT AND SOLD IT TO A DEVELOPER WHO SOLD TRAILER LOTS IN THE AMOUNT OF $12,500 each. It hurts us to see the farm turned into a trailer park. My sister refuses to come home any more. My brother had to buy the family home back and pay for the house another 20 years. My white lawyer in told me that Farmer's Home Loan might still come and take it. I told him, "No Way!" Some developer has made over $500,000 off our land that should have gone to us. Thanks to USDA.
We are a part of the the Black Farmer's Lawsuit, but $50,000 will never compensate for the hurt, shame and lost of income that we suffered. As we walked into the stores in that small town the White people would point us out and say, "There's his kids. Are y'all going to farm this year?" and laugh. We were humiliated. We were in our 20' and 30's. I would like to know the following:
What group of lawyers would take this case to get back what we rightly deserve?
What steps do I take now and who do I contact? I need names and phone numbers.
I AM HURT. I CAN NOT GO BACK TO MY ROOTS. There is a trailer park there. How can I share the good memories with my children and grand children? We need to bring closure. My parents and grandparents worked hard for that land only to have it fooled out of them by white people with the help of the United States government. I have a lot to say. Thanks for listening.
Fort Worth, Texas
Yes, I have lived on the farm. I am 53 years old and the best time of my life was doing those time in the country. I grew up in Fort Worth, Texas the city, however my grandparent lived in a small town (Mexia, Texas and Sandy Community) . I would live with them when school was out doing holiday and summer broke. My mother parent lived in town (Mexia) and earn a living working for white folk in their home and business. But my father parent lived 7 miles out in the country and farmed land they own which I own today. I personally do not farm the land, but I do have 15 horse and had cattle until 1994 which had to sell. Everbody living in this community is of the same family of 54 ex-slave who purchase some 15000 or more arces. Their is traces of farm life still in evident their. I have family members who plant feed and harvest at for their stock and to sell.
The land I have mean the world to me because my great grandparent went thought a lot ! to get and keep it. The land their mean a lot to everyone who came from this community. So much that to keep the white man from every getting it we, as a community, sell the land within the community if a need to sell come about.
I was 19 year old when I left home and move to L.A. to stay with family that had left the country. The Watt Riot and poor life style ran me into the Army and oversea. After Vietnan I came back and try L.A. city life one more time , It took 12 years to get home. Now I live and work in Fort Worth but on weekend I take my 100 mile drive to the farm to get my head stright out . It is home to me , people do not worry a nothing there and I can leave my house in country unlock for weeks at a time. Come back and every in place ,however I never left it unlock because I want to. But when I did someone would call to tell they will watch it. By the way this community ! I am from is the great great grandfather of the 19th of june in the state of Texas which we in Texas at as our 4th of july. It has the only State park issue for Black.

My mother died 2 yrs ago at age 93. I miss her and her storys. I have a tape with the sound of voice telling about her life in Georgia. "I grew up in Funston Ga. lived on a farm and worked hard. Played the piano at church and sewed my own cloths. No inside plumbing or running water. Married your dad my neighbor when he got out of the navy in l927. He was discharged in New York State so we took a train and came up north to live. How I missed home and my family. But with three kids to tend I stayed." My parents were white and good parents. I was born in 1929 and we were poor. Mom sewed our cloths on the treddle Singer sewing machine and we ate from the garden so we were never hungry. I remember one Sunday when three little kids were waiting to share one chicken and a old man came to the door asking for food. Mom told us kids to stand back and wait. She fixed him a plate of food and we watched him eat. When he was on his way we sat down and had our dinner. There was enough to go around. What wonderful memories. We lived in Montour Falls in Schuyler county most of our life. Most every day I think of my parents and my life as a child. What lessons they taught us by how they lived. Wilma

This program bought tears to my eyes, because the subject is near and dear to my heart. I'm in my 40s and I was one of the last generations in my family to live on our land that has been in my family since the end of the civil war. The homesite is trash strewn and weed covered and for now still in the family. Most of my cousins stayed on that farm from time to time while their (and my) parents were struggling to make up north and out west. I learned how to hunt, fish, how to have respect for the land, how to care for animals, responsiblity for others and a work ethic that has served me well through some thin times. I have many times expressed interest to my family about moving back to the farm, and that appeal has fallen on deaf ears, and I fear that when my parents generation passes on, there will be no one in a position to save it. It is too small to farm for profit, but because of it's proximity to a large city, I thought it would make an ideal base for a small business, and the land could be developed for use by others in the family. My grandparents lived there most of their adult lives and it was a struggle and a sacrifice for them financially trying to farm the place. But, one thing that I will ALWAYS be grateful for is that several years ago, I went through some hard times, and that place supported me and my grandparents. To this day, I don't know what would have happened to me if it wasn't for that place and for that I will be always grateful. No one appears to see that value in the place (other than selling it) but me and a few other relatives. I'm doing better now and I would like to return the favor by developing the place SLOWLY (being very careful of debt like my grandmother preached to me, and because of some of the chicanery in some of the stories I saw on your program, and some things I went through later in life, I see where my grandmother was coming from.) There is a lot of mistrust, and infighting about that place and I'm resigned to the fact that the land several years from now will be auctioned, after my parents generation passes away. It will be a damn shame.

Between 1905 and 1908 my Great Grandfather moved his 12 children to Sylvester GA. Now a widower, he chose a wonderful farm to raise his family......alone. When we were little, we traveled from California to Georgia. I can remember the fresh bacon, ham, eggs, the yeast rolls, the biscuits and cane syrup....the long long picnic table that sat in the middle of the kitchen, so we could all eat at the same time, the fireplace in every room, the long long hallway where the pump organ stood, the peafowls prancing...... ...the outhouse still there that I would only use once!! After having not been there for 20 years, I began going back once a year 6 years ago. The first time I set foot on the farm again, I wanted to get on my knees and kiss the ground. It was as if all the souls of those gone before were there to welcome me back. Every year when I go back I am still overwhelmed by the feeling and one day God willing there will be those coming to visit me as I try to recapture some of what has been lost and gone. There are over 150 acres we still farm, the old house is still there,much worn, but liveable if need be. I pray for those of us who do not want to see the past forgotten and paved over.

My husband and I are very fortunate -- we still live on and work the same family farm purchased by his great great grandfather after the Civil War. It is a 14 acre farm, raising Holstein, Hertford and Angus cows, hogs and grain, and we are still surrounded by a few other small family farms owned by black families. Of course, in this day and time, we cannot afford to be totally dependent on the farm for a living. Independent farmers are being bought out daily by large conglomerates. My husband and I are both college graduates, and he is a teacher by trade, but he made a decision to return to the farm after college and following his father's illness to continue a family tradition. None of his brothers chose to do so, but he just didn't want to see it lost to taxes, overgrown with weeds, or sold. So he teaches during the day, and runs the farm in the evenings and on weekends. It still gives me a strange feeling to walk over the land, knowing that four generations of Lees have walked over it before me, and I wonder what it must have been like for them, trying to hold on to the land and work through trying times and undesirable circumstances. I know they would be proud of my husband. We have three daughters, two of whom are college students and away at school, and no sons, so it is questionable how long this tradition will continue. Pray for us that four generations from now, this will still be Lee land.
St. Louis, Missouri
I spent eight years living in Alto, a farming community in Northeast Louisiana. My family members owned or rented land to farm. During harvest time all families pitched in to help each other. One year, maybe 1967 or 68, all the kids were taken to the fields and given huge long bags. We were given instructions on how to carry (drag) the bag. We were told that this was the last year they were going to hand pick cotton. Our parents and grandparents wanted all the children to pick as much cotton as we could and they were going to pay us. I suffered for about an hour under the hot sun. The bag was heavy, my fingers and back hurt. I carried my bag to the scale, so they could weigh it and I could get paid. My uncle sifted through my cotton bag and hung his head. He gave me a quarter and said "It good we getting a machine to do this, cause these children don't know nothing 'bout picking cotton. They picked mor' seeds, leaves, stems, than cotton.
My mother's description of what a typical cotton season was like in the late 50's: "Cotton was planted March or April and all summer you tended to it. Then in August you started picking it, that lasted until maybe November. Once the land owner got his share and other expenses were paid we got anywhere from $500.00 to $700.00 for the season."

When my grandparents retired from farming and moved to town, the farm - complete with barns to play in, woods to tromp in and a creek to swim in - was no longer ours. We sadly watched as the new owner burned the barn, bulldozed the house and destroyed the place that was in our hearts. Living on the farm was magical. The sounds you heard made you listen, the food was fresh and the air was clean. Whenever you have something in life that gives you so much pleasure, you never want it to end. And although the structures are gone, the memories remain.
I think about the farm a lot. What it gave me has not been found anywhere else. My family doesn't look at it as what we lost, but the memories we have.

Encore et toujours un magnifique travail ! Bravo
Celui-là, je crois que je vais vite me l'acheter !
Bonnes ventes !
Merci à toi xywe !!
Encore moi !
Quelques questions (peut-être bêtes !) :
1. Est-il possible d'élargir facilement la sidebar ?
2. Est-il possible de changer facilement le terme "album" des customs posts dans les liens afin de le remplacer par "livre" par exemple ?
3. Tu as prévu des formulaires de login, le thème est-il facilement adaptable à BuddyPress ?
4. Pour finir, peut-on facilement remonter le contenu (body) pour qu'il colle à la barre de navigation ?
Merci d'avance
1/ La taille de sidebar est editable via css. Maintenant si tu changes cela, il te faudra penser aux éléments internes a la sidebar et aussi a la partie de gauche.
2/ Tu peux changer cela dans le code du custom post type.
3/ Et bien je ne suis pas familier avec Buddypress ( pas eu encore trop de temps pour checker tout cela ) donc, je pense que oui mais il faut tout de meme faire les changement necessaire pour Buddypress.
4/ Oui un simple changement de valeur sur une class css et c'est fait
Merci d'avance !
This is a beautiful theme and all I could think was WOW , can this be extended for Buddypress? It would be superb in BP? Are you considering making a Buddypress compatible/extended version?

A Pioneer for Her Time: Musine Kokalari
I am on a mission to revive the story of a little known Albanian writer and political dissident.
In 2012, when I first began my research in Tirana on the Enver Hoxha dictatorship and the way in which Albania is examining its dictatorial past, I was confronted time and time again by image above, in films and exhibits. (Taken from International PEN. Musine Kokalari at the 1946 Trial.)

From the Publisher
"That Rheingold has written a smart and enjoyable guide is unsurprising....Rheingold does us an important service by offering a number of insights into, and strategies for, the 'net smarts' we need to function more efficiently in our increasingly online world."--James
Hendler, Science
The MIT Press
"Here, I'd point to the work of my friend Howard Rheingold and his new book Net
Smart, which is an excellent guide for how to be a digitally fluent user of all the technologies we have available to us now. It's an excellent book and I think the FCC should include it in their plan for training the digital educators going into schools!"--Christopher Mims,

"If you are going to purchase one book about using social media, this is the one to read. It's for people who want to go deeper and get practical know how, improved productivity, and integrate physical and virtual lives."--Beth Kantor

''Berlin gave me the blues . We have destroyed what could have been a good race, and we are about to replace them with Mongolian savages .And all Europe will be communist .It's said for the first week they took it [Berlin],all women who ran were shot and those who did not were raped . I could have taken it [instead of the Soviets] had I been allowed.''
July 21,1945
''It is my present thought...that when I finish this ,which shall be around the first of the year, I shall resign, not retire , because if I retire I will still have a gag in my mouth..I should not start a limited counterattack,which would be contrary to my military theories, but should wait until i can start an all-out offensive...''
Two months later , on December 23,1945,General George S. Patton was silenced forever .
Patton was about to issue war crimes against Eisenhower and Truman for the Slaughter of 9,000,000.00 Germans after the war .

Nice place where to stay. Warm and friendly hosting. Felt like home living there for a while. Location is good, in the center Everything you need like shops/restaurants/bars just across or the next streets. Nothing luxurious, but all you need like equipped kitchen, hairdryer, warm shower, clean towels, comfortable bed etc. Go our mind mixed a little because privat rooms for 2/3/5 are in other building, but when you see it it is easy to find and however staff shows location.

Councils make nearly £3,000 selling your details to firms
Posted: August 28, 2014|
COUNCILS in Nottinghamshire have made nearly £3,000 selling details of voters.
Edited versions of the electoral register are available for individuals and businesses to buy. It contains information such as each voter's name and address and whether they have opted for a postal vote.
The eight councils that collect voters' details in Nottinghamshire have sold on the information 34 times, with Rushcliffe selling parts of its register 14 times. Nottingham City Council made most, with £1,025 raised from businesses like Loughborough University and A1 Windows.
Ashfield's council made £573.79 between May 2017 and 2012 and Bassetlaw £41. Broxtowe Borough Council did not sell its register.
Mansfield District Council made £229 and Newark and Sherwood £211, the figures from Big Brother Watch showed.

Fill Form Overview
Using LastPass to store the data you typically have to type into web forms is both easy and secure. Your data is encrypted locally on your computer with the key that only you know before it is sent to LastPass, so you can securely store your credit card, Social Security Number, phone number, and other sensitive data you wish to easily access.
Adding a Form Fill Profile
LastPass recommends you create different profiles for each Name, Location, and Credit Card. To do this, click on the LastPass Icon and choose 'Form Fill' icon and then 'Add Profile' or 'Add Credit Card':
LastPass will then launch a Form Fill edit dialog box, where you can fill in all relevant fields:
When you see a Form Fill field icon :
You can click on this icon to bring up the Form Fills Profile menu:
Selecting the profile will then autofill the fields on the page matching with what is stored in your profile. This reduces shopping checkouts, vacation reservations, shipping, and site registrations to just a few easy clicks.
Setting Your Default Fill Form Profile
To set your default fill form profile, click on your LastPass browser Icon and select 'Preferences' to launch your LastPass Control Panel. In the last section on the General tab, labeled 'Form Fill', you can select a default profile from the dropdown menu and select 'OK':
The Default Form Fill profile is useful when you are using the Form Fill hotkey for web forms.
Watch the Form Fill Tutorial
Selective Form Fill
By default, all form fields on the page are filled. However, LastPass also supports selective form filling.
To selectively fill forms, use your mouse to highlight only the form fields you would like to fill:
Then, use form fill as you normally would, and only the fields you selected will be filled in:
Using Custom Fields
LastPass Form Fill provides many built-in fields. However, you may find yourself wanting to fill other fields as well. You can do so using Custom Fields.
When editing a Form Fill profile by clicking on the edit icon , click on the Custom Fields tab:
Each row corresponds to a single Custom Field. Every Custom Field must have its Text and Value boxes filled in.
Text to find contains the descriptive text next to the field you wish to fill on a website. In case there is no text on the website, it can also match the field's name or ID. Matches are case-insensitive, and partial matches are allowed. For example, 'MSN' would match both 'MSN' and 'msn id'.
Value to fill contains the value you wish to fill into the field. It can be multi-line, but keep in mind that multiple lines can only be filled into a multi-line text box on a website, not a single-line text box.

Hi, looks like you're finding your way around this place
Nope, no one's in charge, it's really kind of a loose association based on who's wants to make the effort.
This thread is set up as a way to organize a group dinner/gab session for East Bay riders. You're closer to the East Bay than me, and they let me join once, so you should be good too
What kind of riding experience do you have? Do you like off-road stuff? I checked your profile but couldn't really tell...
I tend toward solo riding & off-road myself, but there are often people posting in the West regional threads looking for people to join them on rides.
Group rides are often less enjoyable for my tastes, mostly because I prefer to set my own pace and find myself focusing more on staying with the group than enjoying the ride, or improving my riding skills, as I can when I'm by myself. But that's just me. There's probably a hint in there as well as to why I've only made one of these meet & eats...
There seems to be a pretty active BMW NorCal owner's group that schedules monthly rides--have you checked there? Also, Adventure Designs in Hayward has monthly rides on Saturdays leaving from their shop.
Anyway, welcome, and enjoy the ride!

Report: Ex-NFL 'bust' Russell draws interest
JaMarcus Russell, the former No. 1 overall pick of the Oakland Raiders who has been widely considered one of the biggest draft busts in NFL history, might be on the verge of getting another shot.
NFL.com reported Russell has shed 50 pounds in recent months, and there is now "significant" interest from more than one team, according to a source. Russell is at 265 pounds, the same weight he was at when the Raiders selected him first overall in 2007.
On "NFL Total Access" on the NFL Network, it was reported Russell would like to sign with a team where he can learn under a veteran quarterback. If Russell doesn't sign with an NFL team within the next 30 to 45 days, he also would be open to signing with a CFL team.
In January, Russell told Yahoo! Sports that he didn't want to be remembered as a "bust" and that he would attempt a comeback. In addition to working at the TEST Football Academy, Russell's comeback was to include tutoring by former NFL quarterback Jeff Garcia on technique, Hall of Fame running back Marshall Faulk on reading defenses, and several other former players, doctors and trainers.
Russell, who last played in the NFL in 2009, won only seven of his 25 starts during his career with Oakland. He completed just 52.1 percent of his passes with 18 touchdowns, 23 interceptions, 15 lost fumbles and a passer rating of 65.2.
He was paid approximately $39 million for his three seasons with the Raiders.
Russell was charged with felony possession of a controlled substance, a drink containing codeine syrup, when sheriff's officers raided his home in July 2010. A grand jury, however, ultimately declined to indict him on the charges later that year.
Former NBA player John Lucas had been serving as Russell's life coach in late 2010, but the pair severed their relationship in 2011.
Fun Gus' hypothetical: If we hadn't signed UDFA Seth Doege, Id almost say we should kick the wheels. But since we currently have 4 QB's on the roster, I'll say forget about it
the bust is back!

Re: the bust is back!
Why are there quotation marks around, "bust?" Seems to me that he was, in fact, a bust, of the highest order. Here's hoping that the kid has gotten his act together.

1821 Capped Head Left Quarter Eagle, BD-11821 $2 1/2 AU58 NGC. Breen-6126, BD-1, R.5. The 1821 quarter eagle has one of the "larger" mintages of the Capped Head Left type with 6,448 pieces struck. However, even this mintage is misleading when trying to gauge availability since so many coins were melted over the next 13 years as their intrinsic value exceeded their face value. As pointed out by Garrett-Guth, the 1821 is actually one of the scarcer dates in the series and is only exceeded in rarity by the 1826 and 1834 With Motto issues. This piece is similar to almost all known 1821s with its noticeably prooflike fields, a result no doubt of being struck from the same dies as proofs of this date. The diagnostic depression is also present on Liberty's cheek. The surfaces are bright yellow-gold with a faint outline of reddish patina around the devices. Numerous small abrasions are scattered over each side.(Registry values: P6) (NGC ID# 25FE, PCGS# 7662)

BUSHTON – Farmers like to say Mother Nature has to kill a wheat crop a few times before harvest. And Bushton farmer Kyle Kaiser would agree.

"It's something really hard to live with," Gayle said. "I remember … coming down the stairs and someone outside was playing that music loud in a car and I remember falling down the stairs, and that's it."
Unable to walk down the street, go shopping, eat in a restaurant, ride the subway, drive a car or do anything where she might hear a song playing, 24-year-old Gayle had no choice: she quit school, her job, and stopped going to church and singing in her beloved choir.
Gayle was a prisoner in her own home. Even her TV became a danger.
"She could be watching like a movie and if it has music and she doesn't realize it's coming on, she would pass out," said Gayle's mom, Marhlan Nelson.
Gayle began to become depressed, and considered suicide.
"Everything that I love was taken away," she said. "Everywhere there's music going on."
In the midst of the dark moments came a new danger. Doctors told Gayle that if they couldn't find a way to control her seizures, she could suddenly have a heart attack.
"When people have seizures over and over again, and you can't get them under control, there's a risk of, of dying from the epilepsy," Dr. Mehta said.
An unusual case of epilepsy, Dr. Mehta decided, required an unusual treatment: brain surgery. If they could take out the part of the brain where the seizures were originating, Gayle might be seizure-free.
"What we found is, there was a little island of activity, shown in light blue, where there was in fact a little more increased activity," said Dr. Mehta, pointing to an image of Gayle's brain. "And that leads us to think that that's where the focus was."
The doctors also found another area where they thought the seizures were coming from – that was the part they needed to remove.
It was a risky surgery. Stacey would only be the fourth known patient to undergo the operation. Doctors would remove about a half dollar sized chunk of Gayle's brain. Frightened, at first Gayle and her mom said they didn't want to do it. But after looking at her now empty life, both decided it was a risk she had to take.
Today, five months later, Gayle said she hasn't had any seizures. "Every day — every day living seizure-free is like another day, is a cure for me," she said.
For the first time in five years, Gayle could listen to music, without seizures. She was nervous the first time she played music to test and see if the surgery had worked.
"I decided that I really had to do it. So yes, I didn't have a seizure, so I was so happy.
Now Gayle feels good when she enters a story, lobby or an elevator and hears music.
"I go in the store and smile and they just be thinking I'm crazy," Gayle said. "It feels good to be back, back in school, back in church … you know, get my life back on track finally."
