"The power of attention is much greater than the force of self-restraint."
Charles Eisenstein – The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know is Possible
"Our addictions and superficial pleasures aren't only substitutes for something else – they are also glimpses of that something, promises. Shopping does give many people a fleeting experience of abundance or connection. Sugar does give many people a feeling of loving themselves. Cocaine offers a moment of knowing oneself as a capable, powerful being. Heroin offers a brief surcease from the pain that one had experienced as omnipresent. A soap opera produces the feeling of belonging, which properly comes from being enmeshed in the stories of the people one sees every day … Over time, their palliative efficacy diminishes while their destructive side effects grow. The drug stops working. We up the dose. Eventually that doesn't work either.
The same dynamic currently afflicts our civilization. We constantly up the dose of technology, of laws and regulations, of social controls, of medical interventions. In the beginning, it seemed, these measures brought great improvements, but now they barely suffice to maintain normality and keep the pain at bay …
In both cases, the personal and collective, the fix masks an underlying malady. In both cases, when the fix stops working, the underlying condition comes to the surface, and there is no choice but to confront it. That is what is happening to our society today."
Charles Eisenstein – The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know is Possible
Shortly after my previous on-the-mat update I asked my teacher to take my practice a step forward. To my understanding, the direction he took was changing from a langhana to a langhana-somewhat-brahmana practice. The previous practice was a healing practice, this practice has been a continuation of that healing togather with a sense of renewed vitality.
After I was given the practice I had a period of ~2 weeks of undisturbed practice. Then almost a month (a two week visit by Annelieke and then recovering from illness) of disturbed practice followd by almost daily practice (there was a 2nd visit by Annelieke with some, though less disturbance to my practice).
Followed by the following pranayama sequence – using Anuloma Ujjayi:
220.127.116.11 x8
188.8.131.52 x8
184.108.40.206 x8
and then a short counter-posture sequence.
Some clarifications:
#1: I was intrigued to find how subtle variation effected me. I started by practicing alternating front and side (up side, down front, up font, down side, etc.) – and it anoyed me. I changed it to only up side (preferring to raise my arms on the side as a continuation of the movement generated by the breath), down front and I felt much better with it. In recent weeks I changed to 3 times up-side, down-front and then 3 times up-front, down side … which felt like a smoother connection to the 2nd posture.
#2: at first there was stifness, but I quickly found myself returning to (a) past movement range; (b) variety in range depending on my general well-being.
#3: At first the open twist seemed to continue the work I'd been doing in the previous practice in opening and softening the shoulders/shoulder bladed. Similar pains appeared at first … though not for long. I think I have arrived at an unprecedented relationship with trikonasana (both open and twisted).
#4: I was surprised to find physical strength, most of the development has been in the breath.
#6: The part of me that still likes and dislikes, dislikes downward facing dog very much. There is a kind of mini-trauma for me with this asana. My arms don't straighten fully, which means they never arrive at a place where I can benefit from skeletal support, which means I have to rely heavily on muscles. This demands all of my attention. If I divert any attention away from my arms and shoulders I feel like I am going to collapse. So I have never (in all my years of practice) have really experienced a sense of settling in the posture. Having said that I started this practice barely holding 4 breaths of ~184.108.40.206 and am now holding 4 breaths of ~126.96.36.199 peacefully.
#8: Surprised to find I still had this range. Experiencing for the first time with such stark clarity an interplay between strength and flexibility.
#9: Again, surprised I had the core strength to contain this asana with quality.
#11: I moved savasana to after the raised leg postures where I needed it (I did not need it after lying twists). I've been needing it less and less as my breath is redeveloping.
#10: Subtle yet clear development – finding consistently more range regardless of general well-being. Previously tight-life directly manifested in this posture and limited my range. Also breath has become more peaceful.
#14: Reconnected with past range of movement. I started with two blocks and am now practicing with just one.
There is an overall sense of improved strength and vitality, though vitality is still very much linked to general well-being. There are few days when my general being is not well and I either do not practice or practice only partially.
Breath has really developed over this period of practice.
The most challenging postures have been: utkatasana (4), downard facing dog (6) and raised legs (9). In all three there is much less forcefulness in my breath after the sequence and a much shorter recuperation period.
In recent weeks I have reconnected with a softness that comes from aiming to complete these three postures with a settled breath. I began this journey coarsly by shortening the breath from a typical ~220.127.116.11 to ~22.214.171.124 … and I find the breath is gradually expanding again (though also with sensitivity to my general vitality and well being).
I have re-connected with a softer and more peaceful presence in B.K.
The pranayama practice has been fine though initially the 188.8.131.52 ratio was surprising. Now it is fine and even welcome.
Generally when I began with this pranayama sequence I felt like my energy channels were dead. The only sensation available to me was the flowing air out of my nostrils – it wasn't connected to anything inside. I would describe the place I am currently at in this relationship as "undead" … not quite dead and not yet alive.
The illness with which I met the new calendar year manifested in my mouth: no eating, no talking, etc. The healing period after the illness had the typical coughing that lasted two+ weeks. However during this healing period I had for a couple of days clear nostrils like I have not experienced in many years. This did not last long. I believe that my nostrils may be slightly clearer then they were a few months ago, though not categorically different.
I'm surprised to find that even though it is a short pranayama sequence that I still experience some discomfort in the raised (nostril controlling) arm.
There is an overall sense of steadiness though of-course diversion and wonderings are there.
However there has been a noticeable change at the end of the practice. During the previous practice I'd arrived at an ending that felt meditative. This period has brought me to an ending where I, though steady, want to move on to a doing … not escaping, not agitated … more ready to move on … less ready for stillness.
As I've been practicing I found my body wanting to go places that are not yet in the practice. Rather then speculating where my teacher will guide me next, I thought to make a note of the wishes that my body has expressed and then see how those wishes align with how my practice will evolve. I have given a little thought to these wishes and I could reflect on their qualities and relationship to my perception of the practice evolution, but I have mostly opted to receive them as direct expression and wisdom of the body.
I usually start my practice with some Shakuhachi. I always go through some series of "technique" practices focused on quality of breath and sound. Sometimes, when I feel an invitation to do so, I venture into playing exploration.
It was at this junction that I first realized something that then seemed to be present on the mat and off it. For me to play something there needs to be an active wanting. The technique practices do not require this. For playing I need to want to express myself, to speak-out … to say something, if there is nothing I want to say, there is nothing for me to play … there is silence.
I think this describes a general change in my quality of energy. I am more alert, more looking for doing, more wanting. It is a delicate place for me given where I am. Though spring is here and physical work is available and inviting my inclinations of doing point in other directions … to places I do not yet have access to.
So on the one hand I welcome the vitality, on the other hand I do not enjoy the unfulfilled temptations it brings with it. For the time being I am able to feed this energy with physical work that is available to me. I have also been able to resume some website work … though it is expressive work … I feel it is not a healthy doing for me.
During the last few weeks (3 or 4) I have been experiencing a two-day cycle. One day of vitality and then a day that starts well but then crashes by mid-day … the crashes are unpleasant and I basically wait for the day to end.
Over the last week the crashes have been softer and generally coming later in the day. I've been able to sometimes softly go through them and rise again … delicately and patiently. I have surrendered to a short nap when it comes on (I used to avoid mid-day napping, because I could never quite resume sharpness afterwards).
When reflecting on this I also realized that is may be associated with another two-day cycle. Ffor a long time (I don't remember how long) my cleansing cycle – bowel movements – have also been on a steady two-day cycle instead of once a day. This has been disrupted marginally during the last few months … but for the most part has remained a steady pattern.
I should say that this is noticeable time of change. The days are getting longer (by ~30 minutes every week). Winter is making room for an early spring. The longer days combined with more activity require more food. Very powerful winds. Much is shifting. Spring is a time of change and I seem to be half a beat behind the tune … so somewhat out of tune … in a constant catching up. Hoping, over the coming years, to find more internal resiliency which will manifest as a more stable external connection.
Yet overall this has been a period of very regular practice … I'd say 95% of the days … compared to ~80% during the previous practice period.

If you want to shoot your data in a different direction, you have new switches to choose from.
Hewlett-Packard Co. has introduced two entries in its ProCurve series of managed switches. The 2626-PWR and 2650-PWR are both stackable, multilayer switches, compliant with Power-over-Ethernet features to ensure protection against power disruptions.
The 2626-PWR is a 26-port switch with 24 autosensing 10/100 Ethernet ports and two dual-personality ports for either 10/100/1000 or mini-Gigabit Interface Converter connectivity. The 2650-PWR offers 50-ports, 48 autosensing 10/100 and two dual-personality ports.
Multiple personalities aside, the switches also support IP phones or other devices with
internal power supplies, eliminating the need for a separate one. HP is planning to introduce an external redundant power supply for additional protection. The switches feature a variety of security and advanced performance capabilities, including prevention of unauthorized access using Media Access Control address lockdown, and Secure Shell and Secure Sockets Layer for controlled access.
ReefEdge Networks recently released its EcoSystem wireless local-area network product family, including wireless switches and software. The company is positioning the product line as ideal for large enterprises with multiple sites.
EcoSystem features multivendor access point and switch support to avoid locking
customers into a single vendor for access points — the hardware that connects an internal network to the Internet or a dedicated network. The company has also created branch office solutions, including an integrated switch and access point, and centralized management software so that organizations don't need to staff their branch offices with network
And speaking of access points, SMC Networks Inc. has begun shipping EliteConnect, a universal wireless access point. The device conforms to 802.11a, 802.11b and the newer 802.11g standards to provide near-universal wireless connectivity.
It can support up to 64 simultaneous users and offers a choice of Web-based, command-line or proprietary software management interfaces.
The access point supports encryption up to 152 bits, along with other security features. SMC has also released two new wireless print servers, both called EZ Connect — one for parallel port and one for USB port connections. The print servers support the 802.11b standard and offer a maximum data transfer rate of 11 megabits/sec.

Content management systems that don't ensure accuracy and consistency among channels can create frustration for shoppers.
In the early days of online retailing, content management entailed little more than writing descriptions of merchandise and teaming them with the right photos. But with growing evidence that web site content plays a major role in customers' purchasing decisions-whether online or in store-content management is taking on an increasingly important role.
With customers jumping back and forth between retailers' multiple channels-web sites, stores, kiosks, e-mail and call centers-content systems that don't ensure consistency among channels can create frustration for shoppers. Customers who find conflicting information between a web site and store, for example, may give up and turn to another retailer.
Outdated product listings, descriptions, prices or photos also can turn off shoppers, blunting the impact of expensive marketing and merchandising promotions. And if content management systems don't clearly outline a retailer's policies on fulfillment, refunds and protecting a customer's privacy, the retailer can run afoul of Federal Trade Commission regulations or other consumer laws.
"People are realizing their old web content management systems are antiquated," says Stephen Powers, senior analyst at Forrester Research Inc. "Back in the late 1990s and early 2000s people put them in place without really understanding what the business goals were. Now they want to be able to do things like create a personalized experience for their customers, or maybe they need to manage multiple sites."
A good content management system enables a retailer to respond quickly in all channels to changes in market conditions, such as a competitor launching a new product. Systems that deploy content into channel-specific silos slow the process, making it difficult to update content in a timely fashion across all channels.
"Marketing wants to provide that kind of consistent customer experience through all channels, whether it's web, e-mail, wireless or integration with print," Powers says. "They want a system that manages that experience for all those channels."
For retailers operating multiple web sites serving different market niches, there's a need for content management systems that enable them to differentiate sites for each market while maintaining consistency in the appearance of online shopping features and corporate branding. And multi-channel retailers want a system that enables them to maintain site images consistent with images displayed in stores and catalogs.
"E-retailers want to have one high-quality original asset in a centralized repository that can be repurposed and delivered anywhere on demand," says Sean Barger, CEO of Equilibrium Co., a vendor of automated media production.
Dynamic, interactive content
Moreover, with consumers increasingly accustomed to the dynamic, interactive content found on industry leading sites such as Amazon.com and Yahoo, straight text and photos just aren't enough. Content management systems must be able to handle industry trends such as developing web pages customized to shoppers' known interests, managing multiple language content, developing more effective landing pages for customers arriving via Internet search and managing brand content fed by manufacturers.
Online retailers, for example, are asking for scalable video preparation solutions so their vendors can supply them with advertising to promote their products. They also want to insert video advertising into user-generated content, Barger says. "Almost everybody we're talking to in e-retailing is interested in empowering their next-generation streaming content options," he says.
Online retailers also are seeking user-friendly content management systems that don't require the involvement of I.T. staff for every change. "Marketing wants to be able to build personalization rules themselves to manage campaigns, and they want to be able to do A/B testing where they can test content changes on certain parts of the site and deliver it to certain audience segments," Powers says.
Content management technology will continue to grow increasingly more sophisticated. And that's good news for retailers seeking to meet the growing demand from customers for dynamic and interactive web sites.

Rents in both Abu Dhabi and Dubai continued to fall in the second quarter of the year, according to new data.
Gulf News reports the findings of property consultants CB Richard Ellis, who found that residential lease rates showed minial movement over the quarter but have eased by as much as 33 percent over the same period in 2009.
The company said that areas such as Barsha, Bur Dubai, Shaikh Zayed Road, Marina, Greens and Jumeirah Lakes Towers saw rents ease as new supply came into the market. Apparently the highest drop in the freehold category has been in JLT and the Greens, which saw lease rates easing by 40 and 36 percent respectively. Among non-freehold locations, Barsha witnessed the biggest drop in lease rates with a decline for 44 percent from the market peak.
Meanwhile the latest figures from Jones Lang Lasalle say that prices in Abu Dhabi continued to fall in Q2. Average rents of a prime two bed apartment dropped 6 percent, with average rents of around AED 153,000. The year on year decline is around 16 percent.
"Forthcoming over–supply in the upper segment of the market is expected to result in a continued decline in average rentals," said the JLL report. "Lower and mid-market segments will remain expensive relative to affordability due to an overall shortage of supply in these segments."

Golden Gate has made an investment in Ecometry Corp. that will buy out founders Will Smith and Allan Gardner. The company did not reveal the size of the investment.
Will Smith and Allan Gardner, two pioneers of the e-commerce software industry, are retiring with the recapitalization of their company.

Lawmakers eager to stem the tide of U.S. corporate intellectual property flowing to lower-tax shores are borrowing a strategy that has already been employed by European nations to lure valuable patents into their jurisdictions.
Chinese shares finished lower Thursday, swinging wildly in the last hour of trading, and extending a pattern of intraday volatility that started with mid-June's selloff.
Samsung Electronics reported a net profit of 5.75 trillion Korean won in the quarter to June, down 8% from a year earlier.
Sony's net profit more than triples in April-June on strong sales in its videogame and smartphone image sensor divisions.
Samsung reported a drop in second-quarter profits as the company struggles in an increasingly crowded smartphone space, with more price cuts expected.
South Korean electronics giant LG posted a steep drop in second-quarter profit, underlining its vulnerability to cheaper Chinese smartphones and TVs.
Share prices of Japanese electronics-parts and machinery suppliers plunged on concerns over a slump in demand from mobile-phone makers and China's economic slowdown.
Europe last quarter was less risk averse when it came to investing in new companies, which suggests a shift in attitude and also creates a potentially larger source of new tools making their way into the enterprise. Is Europe on the cusp of having its Silicon Valley moment?
Companies that have taken advantage of the ability to confidentially file for IPOs are sometimes becoming the object of acquisitive gazes as a result.
Samsung is revamping one of its most important product releases of the year, underscoring the pressures the company faces as its mobile earnings take a hit from Apple and Chinese rivals.
Samsung Electronics Co. is scheduled to report results for the second quarter ended June before the market opens on Thursday. Here's what you need to know.
The days of it being all business at Business Insider are over.
Former executives of Japanese companies maintain clout at their old employers long after they step down, one reason analysts say so many have been slow to change.
Twitter trust and information security officer Michael Coates says that an effective cybersecurity strategy begins with paying attention to the basics. "You don't need to worry about someone parachuting through your chimney when you don't close the back door to your house," he said.
LG Display said it would build a new plant in South Korea to produce flexible displays, citing the need to prepare for an expected rise in demand from smartphone makers.
China's best-selling smartphone maker these days isn't Xiaomi but Huawei Technologies.
Qualcomm disclosed plans to cut 15% of its workforce, reduce costs by $1.4 billion and consider changes to its corporate structure such as splitting its chip design and patent licensing businesses.

One of the construction trades, traditionally considered unskilled manual labor (as opposed to skilled labor). In the division of labor, laborers have all blasting, hand tools, power tools, air tools, and small heavy equipment, and act as assistants to other trades , e.g. operators or cement masons. The first century BC engineer Vitruvius writes in detail about laborer practices at that time. In his experience a good crew of laborers is just as valuable as any other aspect of construction. Other than the addition of pneumatics, laborer practices have changed little. With the advent of advanced technology and its introduction into the construction field, the laborers have been quick to include much of this technology as being laborers work.

Congress top brass meet, Khurshid, NSA too present
New Delhi: Congress top brass including Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and party president Sonia Gandhi on Wednesday discussed the strategy ahead amid the controversy over India`s participation in the CHOGM summit in Sri Lanka next month, which has been opposed by Tamil Nadu parties.
The Congress Core Group meeting, which lasted for one and half hours, was also attended by External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid and National Security Advisor Shivshankar Menon. Both are not members of the Core Group.
Scaling up pressure on the Centre, Tamil Nadu Assembly had last week passed a unanimous resolution demanding that India "completely" boycott Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Sri Lanka next month.
The resolution had demanded that Sri Lanka be temporarily suspended from the league of Commonwealth till the Tamils there were accorded equal status on par majority Sinhalese.
Describing as "extremely shocking and disappointing" External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid`s reported remarks assuring his participation in the Commonwealth summit, DMK had also urged the Prime Minister a couple of days back to categorically announce India`s boycott of the 53-nation group`s meet.
The Tamil National Alliance (TNA) that won the northen provincial election in Sri Lanka recently had decided to boycott the event.
Parties in Tamil Nadu have been opposing India`s participation in the Commonwealth meet citing alleged human rights abuses in Sri Lanka.
The Core Group meeting is usually on Friday but it was advanced apparently as Khurshid is set to leave the country tonight for a foreign visit.
The meeting also comes days after bomb explosions rocked BJP Prime Minister Narendra Modi`s rally in Patna on Sunday evoking condemnation from the entire political class ahead of the next Lok Sabha election.
There is concern in all parties as it is first of its kind of violence during a political rally in last few years.

I've noticed a very interesting phenomenon while comparing the Ha'aretz print edition with the web edition: News items that make banner headlines on the web edition are often minor news items buried in the inner pages of the print edition. There may be some truth to the claim that what appears as front-page news on the web edition is placed there to stir up controversy and garner readership for the print edition.

Scam Alert!
Some WAG artists are getting quite a few scam emails about buying paintings. The scammer asks to buy a painting, but sends a check for 3 or 4 times the value of the painting, and asks for the additional money to be sent back in cash. Robert Abele suggests that artists only accept Paypal for internet sales. If you reply to any inquiries with "I only accept Paypal because of scams", you usually will not hear from them again. Artists have gotten 2 or more of these emails with the exact same wording from different names. There are many different scams that target artists, so please be alert. Be sure you have payment for the art and shipping costs in hand before you ship a piece of art!
WAG Adds a Wing!

NASCAR's 12 Chasers to answer fan questions in Contenders Live Chicago event
Aug 22, 2013, 9:00 AM EDT
The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series enters the final three race weekends before the 2013 Chase for the Sprint Cup, starting this weekend at Bristol. As the field is narrowed down to the 12 drivers that will qualify over these three weeks, the drama intensifies.
Fortunately before the Chase starts, NASCAR fans will have a chance to interact with all 12 drivers – plus NASCAR President Mike Helton – in a lighter setting: the second annual NASCAR Contenders Live Sponsored by Toyota and Sprint event to be held September 12. It will be at Navy Pier in Chicago from 1:30 to 3 p.m. CT, just a few days before the 2013 Chase begins at Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet. Further information is available at www.nascar.com/ContendersLive.
Matt Kenseth is among those who will be participating for a second year running. He's not officially locked into the 2013 Chase, but with four wins thus far this season, he'll make it in either via the top 10 or as one of the two Wild Cards in his first season driving the No. 20 Dollar General Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing.
"The Chase has been going on for nine years now, and now it starts at Chicago, but for me it's always fun and always great to be in the Midwest," Kenseth told MotorSportsTalk in a Tuesday interview. "For me, it's the closest track to where I grew up (Cambridge, Wis.) It's fun to have the chance to see the fans and interact with them for a little bit, and get going for the weekend."
Miss Sprint Cup, Kim Coon, will be on hand for a second year in a row in the crowd, relaying fan questions to drivers and Helton.
"You have the drivers here that are so accessible, and you have the president that's here, answering questions and bantering; it's very unique," she said in an interview. "NASCAR fans are so passionate about their sport. I'll go to a NASCAR race and see people who have traveled from across the country or around the world. My last race was in Watkins Glen, and people had traveled from Australia, Germany and Japan to come to this race. It's not something you see in any other sport with regularity."
- NASCAR Contenders Live sponsored by Toyota and Sprint will be making its return to Chicago at the historic Navy Pier on September 12.
- This year's event will feature the top 12 drivers on stage to discuss the most competitive time of the season, The Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup.
- The event provides drivers with a great opportunity to interact with our passionate fans and answer their questions. Miss Sprint Cup and Mike Helton will also be in attendance.
- Fans can visit www.NASCAR.COM/ContendersLive to purchase tickets for $10 dollars and enter the Contenders Live sweepstakes for a chance to win an all-new 2014 Toyota Tundra CrewMax Limited and more great prizes.

Good one
it's all about the first move
why black did not take white queen for nothing
White is poised to win, but must start out with a check (else, ... Qd5+ will destroy all his opportunities). 1. Qb8+ or 1.Qa3+ will force a win, and I think 1.Ba3+ will force it as well, but only 1.Qb4+ will force it in 3 moves.
1. Qb4+
Am I not seeing something here, cause I have a major problem with this first move. I understand that this way is the only way to get the mate in 3, but the Black queen can take the White queen at this time, ruining White's chance of winning the game.
To EVERYONE that wants to say 1... Qxb4:
Please take a second to look at the position. It's a puzzle, there's a reason why White's queen is poisoned after 1. Qb4+ Puzzle makers have made bad mistakes before, but never anything egregious like just leaving a queen hanging for no reason.
First, look at the pawn that is about to promote.
Second, look at what redirecting the Black queen off the promote square and the a5-d8 diagonal does.
After that, you shouldn't think Black's queen can take White's anymore.
Nice checkmate
Clever first move.
no its not queen can get taken
Then, it'l be mate in two.( Safe pawn promotion )
By offering up the Queen to remove it from defending a key square on the bank rank are we employing the concept of DECOY or DEFLECTION? Anyone know the "proper" answer? I know they are similar. Wondering what the defining difference is between the terms.
Go on Zac.
Boo! I should have gotten that one, didn't put the pieces together right. Nice puzzle.
wtf? first move?! don't understant someone to help me?
why didnt the black queen take ?

Video: Fitz and the Tantrums Tonight!
Friday, December 17, 2010
The LA soul band Fitz and the Tantrums will have San Diegans dancing tonight at The Belly Up in Solana Beach. I talked to my contact there and she says there are still tickets left for the show.
Michael Fitzpatrick (the titular Fitz) and the Tantrums (such a good band name), along with their vintage soul vibe and their snazzy suits, are the perfect antidote to the piped-in holiday music plaguing us all. Go get a little soul on for the holidays.

Trumpism: The IdeologySubmitted by Tyler Durden on 07/18/2015 19:45 -0400
It's not too interesting to say that Donald Trump is a nationalist and aspiring despot who is manipulating bourgeois resentment, nativism, and ignorance to feed his power lust. It's uninteresting because it is obviously true. It's so true that stating it sounds more like an observation than a criticism. However, 'Trumpism' is an ideology that is very much present in American life, though hardly acknowledged. It lives mostly hidden in dark corners, and we don't even have a name for it. You bump into it at neighborhood barbecues, at Thanksgiving dinner when Uncle Harry has the floor, at the hardware store when two old friends in line to checkout mutter about the state of the country. The ideology is a 21st century version of right fascism - one of the most politically successful ideological strains of 20th century politics. Though hardly anyone talks about it today, we really should.

Is Saudi Arabia Leaving The U.S. Behind For Russia?Submitted by Tyler Durden on 07/02/2015 09:17 -0400
The news from the recent St. Petersburg Economic Forum, which took place from June 18 to 20, inspired a torrent of speculation on the future direction of energy prices. But the real buzz at the conference was the unexpected but much publicized visit of the Saudi Deputy Crown Prince, as an emissary of the King. The unusually high level delegation from a long-time ally and protectorate of the U.S., like Saudi Arabia, visiting a Russian sponsored economic conference, in a country sanctioned by the U.S. was news enough but could be the first sign of an emerging partnership between the two greatest global oil producers.

Putting The 'Great' In Great Depression, Stephen Roach Warns On TPP's Currency RulesSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 05/28/2015 18:30 -0400
History has not been kind to major trade blunders. Just as the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930 sparked a global trade war that may well have put the "great" in the Great Depression, Congressional enactment of enforceable currency rules today could spark retaliatory actions that might devastate the free flow of trade that a sluggish global economy desperately needs.

Colonel Kuroda has gone up-country into the Heart of Darkness, and all we can do is await the Apocalypse now.

Gold Lock Down Despite Aggressive Plan To Ban Russia From SWIFT, Terrorism & War Risk; Palladium At Multi-Year High Over $900Submitted by GoldCore on 09/01/2014 16:14 -0400
The 13 year anniversary of the 911 attacks in 2001 looms next week and given developments in recent days and weeks, one must be wary of new attacks in the UK , U.S. and other western nations. The UK has raised the country's terror threat level from substantial to severe, its second highest level. MI5 and MI6 said there was no information to suggest an attack was imminent.

Ebola Devastates West Africa: Revenues Down; Markets Not Functioning; Projects Canceled; GDP Plunges 4%Submitted by Tyler Durden on 08/27/2014 17:01 -0400
The market, in its infinitely rigged wisdom, has concluded that the worst Ebola outbreak in history is a non-event, even though it has put virtually all of western Africa on indefinite lockdown, and as Reuters reports, is "causing enormous damage to West African economies and draining budgetary resources." In fact the damage from Ebola to Africa is already so acute, it is expected that economic growth in the region will plunge by up to 4 percent as foreign businessmen leave and projects are canceled, according to the African Development Bank president said. Revenues are down, foreign exchange levels are down, markets are not functioning, airlines are not coming in, projects are being canceled, business people have left - that is very, very damaging," African Development Bank (AfDB) chief Donald Kaberuka said in an interview late on Tuesday.

Iceland's Bardarbunga Volcano Begins To Erupt, Ash Cloud Imminent After Aviation Warning Raised To "Red"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 08/23/2014 11:07 -0400
Moments ago Iceland's meteorological service reported that the island's Bardarbunga volcano, having been closely observed by volcano-watchers for the past month due to heightened seismic activity, has begun to erupt which means in addition to Russia's trade war, Europe now has another volcanic eruption to blame its latest GDP contraction on. As the local Met office summarizes, a "small" eruption of lava has occurred to the northeast of the volcano leading the Icelandic National Broadcasting Service to declare that "all air traffic is now prohibited in a large radius around the volcano."

The hammer finally hit for Europe when overnight both Germany and France reported Q2 GDP prints that missed expectations, the first actually contracting at a 0.2% rate with consensus looking for -0.1%, while France remained flat vs expectations for a tiny 0.1% rise. As a reminder, this GDP is the revised one, which already includes the estimated contribution of drugs and prostitution, suggesting the actual underlying economic growth is far worse than even reported. Then again, this is hardly surprising considering all the abysmal data out of Europe and the rest of the world in recent weeks, and with the Russian trade war sure to trim even more growth, look for all of Europe to join Italy in its first upcoming triple-dip recession in history.

Starbucks is on a roll.

The company that provides you with delicious (if pricey) coffee, as well as free Wi-Fi, is trying to provide you with something else -- a personal relationship.

A new online database created by the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy and the George Washington Institute of Public Policy provides information on local property taxation in all 50 states. The website also provides data from the Census of Governments on state and local property taxation. The online database, in the Resources and Tools section of the Lincoln Institute website, is called Significant Features of the Property Tax. The name pays tribute to Significant Features of Fiscal Federalism, a flagship publication of the Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations (ACIR). The website allows users interested in a specific state to view the information through state summary tables, while those wishing to compare information across states can generate customized tables for multiple states on a specific topic. The site is organized in these major categories: General Characteristics of Local Taxation of Property, Property Tax Relief and Incentive Programs, Structural Arrangements of Property Assessment, and Census Data.

Illogical Extremism of the left
Recent events prove beyond reasonable doubt that members of the institutionalized "progressive" left are more than enthusiastic about attacking guns and gun owners.: True to their Alinsky roots, they are ready, willing and eager to demonize gun owners and Second Amendment proponents by disparagingly using the term "gun lobby" to describe them.: It is no secret that they are openly hostile to the Constitutionally protected Right of Americans to keep and bear arms.
They are also primed and ready when it comes to attacking Capitalism.: "progressives" persistently promote the notions that guns kill people and that Capitalism is inherently greedy and corrupt.
By applying this illogic to other situations, it would be required to conclude that computers keyboards are responsible for misspelled words and silverware causes obesity in America.
It would be quite entertaining to hear a "progressive" attempt to relay, in minute detail, the sequence of events on that monumental day when an unattended gun jumped up all by itself and shot an innocent child.
It would be equally fascinating to hear a "progressive" convey exactly how an economic system, without the benefit of human involvement, engaged in illicit price gouging, ponzi schemes or criminal quid quo pro transactions.
The fact of the matter is, the way a gun shoots anything is by a human being picking it up, aiming it and pulling the trigger.: The problem is not the gun, it is with the killer behind the gun.
In similar fashion, the only way any economic delivery system leads to unlawful behavior is through the involvement of the criminal mind.
The answers are not found in gun control or ending Capitalism.: The answer is to catch the perpetrators of the crimes and lock them away from society.

The son a well-to-do British Army captain who died in the battle of Gallipoli in 1915, David Niven was shipped off to a succession of boarding schools by his stepfather, who didn't care much for the boy. Young Niven hated the experience and was a poor student, but his late father's reputation helped him get admitted to the Royal Military College at Sandhurst, and he was later commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Highland Light Infantry. Rakishly handsome and naturally charming, Lt. Niven met a number of high society members while stationed in Malta, and, through their auspices, made several important contacts while attending parties. Although he later claimed to have been nothing more than a wastrel-like "professional guest" at this stage of his life, Niven was actually excellent company, a superb raconteur, and a loyal friend, and he paid back his social obligations by giving lavish parties of his own once he become famous. Niven also insisted that he fell into acting without any prior interest, although he had done amateur theatricals in college.
Following his military discharge, Niven wandered the world working odd jobs ranging from a lumberjack to a gunnery instructor for Cuban revolutionaries to (by his own account) a petty thief. He became a Hollywood extra in 1935, and eventually came to the attention of producer Samuel Goldwyn, who had been building up a stable of attractive young contract players. Having made his speaking debut in Without Regret (1935), Niven quickly learned how to successfully get through a movie scene. After several secondary roles for Goldwyn, he was loaned out for a lead role in the 20th Century Fox feature Thank You, Jeeves (1936). The actor formed lasting friendships with several members of Hollywood's British community -- notably Errol Flynn, with whom he briefly lived -- and was quite popular with the American-born contingent as well, especially the ladies.
Although he worked steadily in the '30s, it was usually in support of bigger stars; he was seldom permitted to carry a film by himself, except for such modest productions as Dinner at the Ritz (1937) and Raffles (1939). Anxious to do something more substantial than act during World War II, Niven re-entered the British service as a Lieutenant Colonel, where he served nobly, if not spectacularly. (His batman, or valet, during the war was a Pvt. Peter Ustinov, himself an actor of no mean talent.) Married by the end of the war, Niven went back to films but found that he still wasn't getting any important roles; despite ten years experience, he was considered too "lightweight" to be a major name. His life momentarily shattered by the accidental death of his wife in 1946, Niven's spirit was restored by his second marriage to Swedish model Hjordis Tersmeden, his wife of 37 years until the actor's death. Once again, Niven took a self-deprecating attitude towards his domestic life, claiming to be a poor husband and worse father, but despite the time spent away from his family, they cherished his concern and affection for them.
After his Goldwyn contract ended in 1949, Niven marked time with inconsequential movies before joining Dick Powell, Charles Boyer, and Ida Lupino to form Four Star, a television production company. Niven was finally able to choose strong dramatic roles for himself, becoming one of TV's first and most prolific stars, although his public still preferred him as a light comedian.
