The Song Remains The SameSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 07/20/2015 09:21 -0400
We love reading quotes from Hussman in 2000 and 2007. The air is getting pretty thin up here. A stock market driven by Google, Apple, Netflix and a few other tech darlings with no earnings does not make a market. Time is running out for the bulls. The same morons on CNBC ridiculed and scorned his facts then and they scorn and ridicule him now. Do we trust Jim Cramer and Steve Liesman or John Hussman? Guess.

Chinese Saturation Reached: World's Largest Smartphone Market Suffers First Drop In 6 YearsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 05/11/2015 20:00 -0400
Less than two years ago, the number of smartphone shipments in China soared by roughly 100% year over year, rising over 80 million for the first time. Fast forward to Q1 of 2015 when according to IDC, the Chinese smartphone market - the largest in the world since 2011 when it overtook the US - has not only reached maturity but is now also fully saturated and as a result smartphone shipments suffered their first Y/Y decline, dropping 4.3% on an annual basis. As IDC notes, "this is the first time in six years that the China smartphone market declined YoY as the market continues to mature." Worse, on a quarter over quarter basis, the market contracted 8% on the back of a large inventory buildup at the end of last year.

Exactly 15 years ago today, who said it?
"You want winners? [This] is what my fund is buying today to try to make money tomorrow and the next day and the next? You want my top 10 stocks for who is going to make it in the New World? You know what? I am going to give them to you. Right here. Right now. OK. Here goes. Write them down..."

The Prison State Of AmericaSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 12/30/2014 21:30 -0400
Prisons employ and exploit the ideal worker. Prisoners do not receive benefits or pensions. They are not paid overtime. They are forbidden to organize and strike. They must show up on time. They are not paid for sick days or granted vacations. They cannot formally complain about working conditions or safety hazards. If they are disobedient, or attempt to protest their pitiful wages, they lose their jobs and can be sent to isolation cells. The roughly 1 million prisoners who work for corporations and government industries in the American prison system are models for what the corporate state expects us all to become. And corporations have no intention of permitting prison reforms that would reduce the size of their bonded workforce. In fact, they are seeking to replicate these conditions throughout the society.

US Pension Plans Need Massive $110 Billion In 7 Years, Moodys WarnsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 11/05/2014 23:01 -0400
Thanks to improving life expectancy and the Federal Reserve's financial repression lowering yields, US company pension funds have been hit by a double whammy. As Moody's warns, companies will have to find $110 billion in the next seven years to fund pension liabilities shortfalls. Moody's adds, "given these increasing liabilities and cash drains, we expect to see an acceleration in lump sum offers," as firms try to derisk. Of course, if the pension funds just followed Japan's lead and went all-in on stocks, there would be no problem, right?

The Era Of Widespread Biometric Indentification And Microchip Implants Is HereSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/10/2014 22:45 -0400
Are you ready to have your veins scanned every time you use your bank account? Are you ready to use a "digital tattoo" or a microchip implant to unlock your telephone? Once upon a time we read about such technologies in science fiction novels, but now they are here. The era of widespread biometric identification and microchip implants is upon us, and it is going to change the way that we live. Proponents of these new technologies say that they will make our private information and our bank accounts much more secure. But there are others that warn that these kinds of "Big Brother technologies" will set the stage for even more government intrusion into our lives. In the wrong hands, such technologies could prove to be an absolute nightmare.

The Stealing Of America By The Cops, The Courts, The Corporations And CongressSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 07/22/2014 22:30 -0400
"What the government is good at is collecting taxes, taking away your freedoms and killing people. It's not good at much else." —Author Tom Clancy Call it what you will—taxes, penalties, fees, fines, regulations, tariffs, tickets, permits, surcharges, tolls, asset forfeitures, foreclosures, etc.—but the only word that truly describes the constant bilking of the American taxpayer by the government and its corporate partners is theft. What Americans don't seem to comprehend is that if the government can arbitrarily take away your property, without your having much say about it, you have no true rights. You're nothing more than a serf or a slave.

New Zealand Flax, Coastal Flax
New Zealand flax can be grown along the seashore or as a houseplant.
Plant type: Herbaceous perennial
Botanical name: Phormium tenax
Hardiness: USDA Zones (7)9 to 10
Hardy to the West coast. Striking rigid, swordlike leaves provides an impressive vertical accent to any garden. Clump-forming. Available in different leaf colors, including green, brown, purple, red and yellow with contrasting leaf margins in yellow, pink or purple. Foliage can have rigid upright to gracefully arching habits. Where grown as a perennial, it will be evergreen. However, it can be a deciduous perennial in Zones 7 to 8, dying back to the ground in winter. Used as an annual in colder climates where it won't overwinter outside. Produces clusters of orange-red to red tubular flowers on sturdy stems. Blooms from spring to summer. May not bloom if planted in a container. Plant size ranges from one to six feet tall and one to eight feet wide.
How to use it: For dramatic effect, plant in masses or as a specimen. Use in containers or a sunny, mixed perennial border. Can be grown along the seashore. Good for xeriscaping. Houseplant. Fruits and leaf spikes can be used in flower arranging.
Culture: Tolerates a variety of site conditions, including dry and rocky soils. Plant in (ideal) full sun to shade; in hot, sunny areas, provide afternoon shade to prevent leaf scorch. It may be root hardy in USDA Zones 7 and 8 if provided with winter protection, including a thick layer of mulch, to help it overwinter. This means its foliage will die back to the ground and will come back next growing season. Propagated through seed and division. No serious problems with pests or diseases. May have problems with mealy bugs or rot if it sits in poorly draining soils for too long.
Special notes: Valued as a textural accent plant. A member of the Agave family (Agavaceae). Native to New Zealand. The genus name Phormium means "basket" in Greek, denoting its use in weaving. Leaf blades used in traditional Maori weaving. Deer resistant. Drought resistant. Fire resistant. Tubular flowers attract birds, especially hummingbirds.

A long-serving Corrections officer has admitted smuggling tobacco into prison in his underwear in exchange for thousands of dollars.
Raymond Heperi Harris, 60, resigned from his job at Christchurch Men's Prison last May after he was confronted with allegations of corruption.
He had been employed as a Corrections officer since 2001.
He initially denied taking tobacco into the prison with the intention of giving it to an inmate.
However, in Christchurch District Court yesterday he pleaded guilty to the offending - a breach of the Corrections Act.
Judge Jane Farish said she would consider a sentence of home or community detention for Harris, who was freed on bail to appear in the court again on September 10.
According to the police summary of facts, the offending began after Harris struck up a relationship with an inmate.
In total, he was paid up to $3000 by the inmate for bringing him the tobacco.
Corrections Department figures showed that more than 6000 banned items were seized coming into prisons in the 11 months to May 30, 2012.

Comment Re:Not with a console they won't. (Score 1) 93
I'm trying to think of what games people play competitively on consoles, and none come to mind. Keyboard and mouse flat out destroys controllers when it comes to competitive play. Sure you'll have the occasional console player swear how much better they do with a controller, but the fact is they'll get trashed if they try to compete against a legit keyboard/mouse user.
Actually, Halo's been pretty big at the online competition arena - there's at least a couple of tournaments a year for it. (MLG, anyone?). It's not as bright as it used to be, but there's still some hardcore players and teams who compete. I know my Xbox still has highlight reels from the various Halo tournaments that were held.
And while PC or keyboard/mouse can trounce controller any day, things may be more evenly matched if the players all used controllers.
Basically, this is Microsoft getting behind competitive game playing and being a sponsor to promote their Xbone. And it really isn't unusual - Microsoft has done similar things in the past. I think right now there's a Halo tournament online going on in the leadup to Halo 5.

SaaS-based application performance monitoring start-up New Relic, which has already raised $34.5 million in venture capital, has gotten a whopping $80 million in mezzanine financing to move into native mobile applications, open an office in Europe, add staff and prepare to IPO.
The handsome sum, which gives it a total of $115 million and a reported valuation of $750 million, comes largely from Insight Venture Partners and T Rowe Price, marking the first time since Twitter that the pair has funded a start-up together.
Other participants include Dragoneer Investment Group, Passport Ventures and the company's existing investors Allen & Company, Benchmark Capital, Trinity Ventures and Tenaya Capital.
New Relic says it saw 200% year-over-year revenue growth including 18 quarters of consecutive growth from playing in the data center and cloud markets monitoring deployed web applications implemented in Ruby, Java, .NET or PHP.
It also doubled its customer base, pushing the number to 35,000 active customer accounts in five years, adding over 1,200 paying customers in the December quarter.
It's supposed to be the industry's largest installed base for an application performance management solution. It does 85 billion metrics a day and a million app instances are sent to New Relic at any given time.
The money will help New Relic increase its enterprise footprint.
It says its widgetry has been adopted by thousands of companies worldwide, including significant deployments with ESPN, Nike and Sony. Collaboration, e-commerce, gaming and social media businesses such as Comcast, E*Trade, eHarmony, GitHub, Groupon, Mashable, MercadoLibre and Zumba also use New Relic to lower the costs of maintaining and optimizing business-critical software applications.
The company figures it's looking at a $20 billion market and that - with its unspoken "grander plans" beyond application performance management - it can be as "just as important as VMware or Salesforce.com.
New Relic CEO Lew Cirne sold Wily Technology, which monitored on-premise Java apps, to CA in 2006 for $375 million and started New Relic in 2008. In November, CA sued New Relic for patent infringement seeking "undisclosed damages" and an injunction to prevent misuse of its IP.
The three patents allegedly infringed were part of the Wily acquisition. CA said in a statement that it "will not allow its patents to be infringed, especially by those who have already profited by selling to us the very patents in question."

Delicious! I doubled the recipe so we'd have plenty. Used toasted sesame oil. I bet it would be a good chicken marinade, too.
This is NOT a vinagrette. It is a creamy salad dressing. Flavor was okay, but I'd rather have a REAL vinagrette next time. I love the sesame and rice wine combo...mayo just made it gross.
This was easy to prepare and tasted really unique. I used the horseradish dijon to give it an extra kick. Although not really a vinaigrette, I would absolutely make this again. Good on bibb l...
This was delicious. I was trying to find something that was similar to Applebee's oriental vinegrette, and this is it. Thanks for the recipe.
Very nice dressing. I used it on a regular dinner salad, but will try it on chicken salad next time. It does remind me of the Appleby's chicken oriental sald like someone else mentioned.
Very Good. This is not a vinaigrette, though, it's more like a honey mustard dressing with an Asian twist. Good nonetheless. I drizzled it on a salad consisting of romaine lettuce, baby spina...

Shakeeta Winfrey, click
here to update your pages on AuthorsDen.
The institute of family is defined as the oldest societal entity, generally consisting of blood relatives such as parents and their children. In the American tradition, the extended family can be defined as the relatives of an individual, both by blood and by marriage, other than its immediate family, such as aunts, uncles, grandparents and cousins. However, African Americans know that the definition of extended family is actually inclusive of their definition of family. Helming from a rich heritage wherein families had to stick together, there has been no regard for a differentiation between family and extended family. Many times, aunts and uncles have had to step in as mothers and fathers; grandparents have become parents; and cousins have become sisters and brothers. The ties that bind are priceless, yet they can be as sharp as a two-edged sword, causing just as much joy as pain.
Such is the case in the life of Shakeeta Winfrey, which is candidly chronicled in her autobiography, The Other Winfrey: Life in the Shadow of O. Born to a single mother who was dually diagnosed with schizophrenia and borderline personality, she immediately was taken into the loving arms and home of her grandparents, James and Millie Winfrey. Devout Christians, the Winfreys provided Shakeeta with everything that a two-parent household could offer a child: a safe environment, a roof over her head, food and clothing, but most importantly love. Yet, there was still something missing. The pain of being raised by one�s grandparents was ever present, although greatly appreciated. Shakeeta longed for the mother-daughter relationships that she had to sit by and helplessly and hopelessly watch as her friends enjoyed them with their own mothers. Although she knew who her mother was, her mother�s mental disability prevented her from really knowing her intimately. She wondered what it would be like if she would have had her own mother with her during her upbringing.
To add to this feeling of emptiness, Shakeeta struggled with the pain of never knowing who her father was. Her mother�s illness created a puzzle that is still left unsolved. In fact, Shakeeta�s grandmother didn�t even realize Pat (Shakeeta�s mother) was pregnant with her. Just the day before Shakeeta was born, her mother was outside riding a bike and playing basketball. Grandma Millie had some speculation of who the father might be, but there were never any confirmations. Before Grandpa James passed away, Shakeeta remembers that he always encouraged her to make an attempt to find her father.
Shakeeta�s parental challenges were only one part of her dilemma. As she grew older, she found that the name �Winfrey� itself would serve dually as a curse and a blessing. Because of the fame of Oprah Winfrey, Shakeeta�s cousin (her grandfather and Oprah�s father are first cousins), Shakeeta found herself being perceived to be just as rich as Oprah. She became a magnet for people to befriend her with subliminal intentions. Because of the void in her life with her family, Shakeeta longed for the extra attention the Winfrey name gave her.
However, the attention, coupled with her own inner struggles, became more of a problem than a privilege. In The Other Winfrey, Shakeeta shares her journey of life, disclosing personal family issues such as crime, drugs, incest and infighting. Shakeeta�s journey has taken her on a path that included promiscuity, stripping, and failed marriages. An emphasis is placed on the enormous pain, guilt, sorrow and regret plagued by the entire family, especially her. A key part of her pain lies within the fact that she so longed to get just a glimpse of the mighty woman who is her cousin. Yet, it never happened.
Travel with Shakeeta as she takes you on a journey of what it is like to live �in the shadow of O.�
I believe my living in Oprah's shadow really began by the time Iwas 14. It was then that I got my very first car, a red Geo Storm. For some reason, everyone thought that Oprah bought it for me. Truthfully, I really did want everyone to think that I had the things that I had because of the fact that I was related to Oprah, and as such, I tried to buy my friends that way. To my dismay, though, my little strategy created a disaster. My friends started to use me for whatever free rides they could get. As the years passed, I felt that I needed to uphold the ideology ofbeing a "Winfrey." Not only was I expected to be a person with money,and a person of power and influence, but I also found myself being caught in the fad of being thin and hip by the time I got to high school.
Oprah's dad, Vernon, blamed my grandfather for all that they didfor me. Unfortunately, the things they did for me not only put them in debt, but it made them a spectacle around the church as well. This was the case when my grandmother borrowed money from the church forsomething I wanted her to purchase for me. Because she was thechurch's treasurer, no one even knew that the money was gone. I didn't find out about her "loan" until years later. When I did make thediscovery, it was painfully clear that I put them through so much pain and destruction.
I became sexually active when I was 15. The onset of my sexualactivity began with the fascination I had with the older guys that wouldhang out at my middle school. During this time, I started dating a guywho was 27, although he lied and said he was 19. Little did I know that this same guy would later rape me.

Adele to Perform "Skyfall" at the Academy Awards
Adele will be attending the 85th Annual Academy Awards, where she will perform her nominated song "Skyfall."
Adele will be in Los Angeles on February 24 to perform her Oscar-nominated song, "Skyfall," from the latest James Bond movie. This Oscar performance will be Adele's first performance of the song, as well as her first public appearance since last year's Grammy Awards.
The news was announced this morning via Adele's official website.
"Skyfall," written by Adele and Paul Epworth, is nominated in the Original Song category, the first Bond theme nominated for over three decades. Adele won this award at the Golden Globes a few weeks ago.
Who is excited to see Adele make her comeback performance???

I think this is where maybe a good Dawn soaking might help.post #37 of 4411/26/11 at 8:18pm
I have a set of rs1i phones and i do agree that they are not the most comfortable to wear phones.But as far as the sound quality I must say that the rs1i phones are very musical even compared to the audeze they are pretty musical sounding.They also seem to sound pretty dimensional with my ray samuels raptor otl amp.They are also not as demanding to drive as some of the other phones.I guess my real only complaint is the headphones somewhat uncomfortable feel when you are wearing them especially with the stock ear cushions(bowl type).I have replaced the earcushions with replacement comfort pads purchased at radio shack at ray samuels suggestion.The grados are now somewhat more comfortable to wear for longer listening periods.I also find the phones sound to be smoother and less bright sounding with the comfort replacement pads.

The larger ones, of course. You'll need to cut a hole out of the center though. The foam will impact audio quality big time.
You should also consider checking out the yellow sennheiser 414 pads, pretty easily found on eBay. Cut a hole in those too. They're silly looking, but will last way longer than the RadioShack ones. Comfiest foam too.
Now, I must say... The rs1i doesn't sound as good with a flatter pad. You will get an increase of bass but lose spatial positioning. Early rs1 in transitional phases sounded better with a flatter pad, but the significant driver changes to the rs1i really improve these inequities and I'd say try to just tough out the bowls. At this point I actually think the rs1i is superior to previous rs1 "classic" buttoned and unbuttoned models. It's a different flavor than the vintage series (see my linked guide for info). I'd still rank the vintage higher, but the gap has closed a bit in personal preference.
I swear, my ears are so calloused that they feel great to me. So, just use grado phones for a few years and your ears won't have any feeling anymore... I uh, guess that's the lesson.
There is the guide, looks like the link in my sig was broken.

I purchased the replacement pads at a radio shack.I took my rs1i phones to the store and the salesperson opened the package and put on the the replacement pads on the phones.They fit well and I purchased them.Go to ray samuels website and contact him and ask him about the comfort pads he purchased at radio shack to replace the stock bowl pads on the rs1i phones.post #41 of 444/15/12 at 1:16pm
If someone is looking for an amplifier that works with the grado rs1i phones might I suggest the ray samuels raptor.I have found this combination to be very satisfying.The sound of this pairing is pretty dimensional with good tight bass (especially for a tube amp) with good dynamics. I have to say that you have to provide your own power cord because they did not provide one when I purchased my amp a couple of years ago.May I suggest the emotiva power cord ftrom the emotiva website. I just purchased one very recently and have hooked the cord up to the raptor.The sound of the raptor with the rs1i is just amazing imho. The sound for one has taken on a more neurtral tendency with much better low level details.The bass from this pairing is excellent with good power and definition.Dynamics have also improved.Everything just sounds more natural with plenty of speed, especially for a tube amp.I was using a nine hundred dollar power cord (the kubals sosna emotion) with the raptor before and I had thought it was a good match.But simply, I thought I would try one of these fairly inexpensive power cords and I was not prepared for the dramatic change that the emotiva cord produced with the raptor amplifier.I was in utter disbelief that this eighty dollar power cord could sound so much better than my emotion power cord. But that is hi-end audio I am sure that at the time the kubala cord produced very satisfying performance when I bought them two and a half years ago.But things change and new products emerge sometimes at a astoundingly affordable price.I implore anyone that is considering the raptor they have to purchase a emotiva power cord to get the best out of the amp.I imho believe this is a no brainer considering the eighty dollar pricing for a two meter power cord.
p.s. you have to order the emotiva power cord from their website.

I agreed, although I did change the stock ear cup for the larger GS model ear cup for comfort. Have you found any issues with comfort on the stock ear cup?post #44 of 441/26/13 at 2:11pmIt is perfect but after i add the headband cushion the cup start to clamp in my ear however if i take the cushion off the stock cup surround my ear perfectly.... As for the sound i put it through iphone only and i loved it so much!!!! The vocal are super clear!!! And the jazz with saxophone is superb!!! But i will order some other style cushion to try and see which one has the most confort... Overall i love it!!! And well worth the money lolz.

The packs are now out for Fonterra's Trading Among Farmers (TAF) – perhaps a little earlier than the co-operative would have liked.
I encourage everyone to read through the information thoroughly and make sure they understand all the implications of a yes or a no.
The vote is a simple majority rules vote. Given it has become a very emotive issue for many people, I would say every vote, either way, will count.
People who have read my column over the past few weeks will know I support TAF because I see it as a way to secure Fonterra's future. I thought it was a bit ironic that days after I talked about the possibility of a Kiwi Jed Clampett striking oil in the paddock, there was an announcement of plans for a massive coal gas operation in Taranaki. This may not have quite the same effect as a big oil find but shows it could happen.
However, I know there are people who have a very different view on TAF, which I respect. What I ask every Fonterra shareholder and supplier to do is sit down with the information and make sure they understand the facts.
Then, and only then, they need to make sure they have their say.
Hamilton ratepayers will not be happy if their council is handed a $600,000 fine after pleading guilty to a charge following last year's sewage spill from the Pukete wastewater treatment plant.
However, I hope the council is treated the same way any dairy farmer would be if they allowed effluent to get into a waterway.
This is an interesting case, because despite a number of treatment plants around the country having similar spills on a fairly regular basis, regional councils are usually shy about following through and prosecuting a city or district authority.
In the Manawatu catchment, Horizons has shied away from taking various councils to court over repeated sewage spills into waterways. This has struck dairy farmers as grossly unfair for a long time, so I congratulate Waikato Regional Council for forcing Hamilton City Council to admit its guilt in allowing 90,000 litres of sewage sludge to enter the river. We also appreciate whenever anyone pleads guilty, as this reduces the cost of the prosecution.
However, with Hamilton council still trying to downplay the size of the spill, I hope the admission is followed up with something more than a slap on the hand.
Hopefully, Waikato Regional Council's action will encourage other regional councils to hold more urban councils to account, thereby encouraging them to fix up their faulty sewerage schemes.
Next week is the 2012 New Zealand National Agricultural Fieldays. This year Federated Farmers has partnered with rural insurers FMG to make sure we have a presence at New Zealand's biggest agricultural event.
This means there will be a member of the federation's Waikato executive on hand on the Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday to answer queries you may have on membership or any other concerns. There may be members from other nearby provinces on hand for the other days. I hope to see you there.
James Houghton is Federated Farmers' Waikato provincial president.

...Getting students to develop their ability to think about and use higher levels of abstractions in math is key, and a second course in algebra is an important part of that process. Chemistry is among my most tutored subjects. Some students find the ideas in this course difficult, but my fresh approach to the material makes it accessible to all types of learners.

From cyberspace to reality: Google's £650m British HQ
Camden Council set to approve plans for the search engine's new base in King's Cross
Thursday 05 September 2013
Google employees will soon enjoy a rooftop swimming pool, running track and gardens at the internet giant's £650m new base in London.
Camden Council was tonight set to approve plans for the search engine's UK headquarters in King's Cross.
The development will range from seven to 11 storeys, and has been described as a "groundscraper". While it is not particularly tall, its 330m length is greater than the Shard's 310m height.
Designers say the building pays homage to the industrial history of the local area, including steel columns, pre-cast concrete panels and low-iron glass.
Bolder colours will be introduced through painted steelwork taking inspiration from metalwork at St Pancras International, they added.
Construction is set to begin early next year, with a completion date of late 2016.
Google is renowned for its office environments which cater to staff's desires. The company aims to allow employees to dedicate 20 per cent of their time to non-work activities. Employees will be able to use a gym, "wellness" facilities, an audio-visual studio and a multi-use games area.
However, the plans are unlikely to top Google's San Francisco campus, where despite a one million square foot surface area, every employee is within a two-and-a-half minute walk of every other colleague.
Some 35,000 people are expected to work in the wider development of King's Cross once regeneration is complete.
