A special something for her main man! Jessica Alba and daughter Haven buy groceries for Father's Day meal for daddy Cash Warren
She's been travelling across the country promoting her new book The Honest Life.
And now that she's back at home, Jessica Alba is making sure to mark the Father's Day holiday with her husband Cash Warren.
On a mission: Jessica Alba carries her baby girl Haven in her arms as she heads to Whole Foods in Beverly Hills, California on Sunday to pick up groceries for a Father's Day meal
The mother-of-two was spotted shopping at the high-end grocery store Whole Foods in Beverly Hills, California on Sunday with her daughter Haven by her side.
The 32-year-old dressed casually for her outing in a pair of rolled up denim trousers and a loose fitting patterned green vest top that allowed just a sliver of her lacy white bra to peek through.
The Los Angeles native piled on a handful of necklaces which she matched to her delicate rings and bracelet.
A quick wipe down: The mother-of-two grabbed a cleansing cloth as she walked in the store
Something for the home: The pair first perused through the floral department
Jessica finished up her outfit with brown leather studded cowboy boots that perfectly matched her shoulder bag.
The Dark Angel star wrapped her honey brown locks in a tight bun, tucking her fringe under a studded leather headband.
The Sin City actress took advantage of a display of cleansing wipes to hose off her cart as they spied through the flower shop.
Healthy choices: Jessica inspected a bag of cherries as they made their way through the fruit section
Later the pair walked through the fresh food section, grabbing up a bag of cherries and picking through a display of leafy greens.
After piling up some goods in her cart the mother-daughter duo left the store with a bounty in their colourful reusable shopping bags.
The day off is a rare one for the jet-setting star as she's been travelling the country on a press tour for new book The Honest Life.
Organic: The 32-year-old opted for organic ingredients -- a topic she writes about in her book The Honest Life
Jessica also just returned from Colorado where she was filming her upcoming feature Dear Eleanor.
Dear Eleanor is set in 1962 and centres around two best friends, played by Liana Liberato and Isabelle Fuhrman, who embark on a search for Eleanor Roosevelt during the chaos of the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Kevin Connolly, who is most known for his role as Eric on HBO's Entourage, is directing the film.

The drama will continue to film all summer and is set to be released in 2014.
Aside from promoting her book and making fashionable appearances, the actress can next be seen in Machete Kills, which is due out on September 13.
She stars alongside the likes of Mel Gibson, Charlie Sheen, Sofia Vergara, Lady Gaga, Antonio Banderas and Vanessa Hudgens.

TEHRAN - Iran on Wednesday freed two American men convicted of espionage on bail and turned them over to the Swiss embassy in Tehran, a US official has confirmed.
Earlier today, a convoy of Swiss embassy cars entered Iran's Evin prison where Josh Fattal and Shane Bauer were being held, a Reuters journalist reported, signalling that their release was imminent.
"I have got necessary signatures from judiciary officials for their release on bail ... Hopefully the two will be freed today," their lawyer Masoud Shafie said.
Bauer and Fattal were arrested in mid-2009 along Iran's border with Iraq where they said they were hiking. They were found guilty of illegal entry and espionage and were sentenced last month to eight years in prison.
Iran's judiciary, which had said last week that their release was under review, has now confirmed that the pair will be freed on bail, Iranian state television reported.
"Until the final verdict is issued by the appeals court regarding the two American citizens' eight-year jail terms (each) ... they will be released on $500,000 bail each," it quoted the judiciary as saying.
The semi-official Fars news agency quoted the lawyer as saying that the two would be handed over at 1030 GMT to the Swiss embassy, which has represented U.S. interests in Iran since Washington cut off diplomatic relations with Tehran shortly after its 1979 Islamic Revolution.
Ahead of his annual trip to the United Nations, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told U.S. media last week that Bauer and Fattal would be freed "in a couple of days" as a humanitarian gesture.
But the Iranian judiciary, controlled by conservative hardliners at odds with Ahmadinejad, immediately rejected a swift release on bail and said that the president lacked the authority to free the men.
Shafie said last week the men would be freed on $500,000 bail each. A third American, Sarah Shourd, was arrested with the men but allowed to go home on $500,000 bail in September 2010.
"There were some problems regarding depositing the bail ... We are trying to resolve it with the bank ... It will be resolved," the lawyer said.
The release was delayed twice, according to the lawyer, because a judge whose signature was required on the bail paperwork was away on vacation.
Analysts said Ahmadinejad's announcement was an attempt to improve his international standing ahead of the U.N. General Assembly meeting that starts on Wednesday.
Iraqi President Jalal Talabani helped to mediate the pending release of Fattal and Bauer, according to Iraqi officials.
The U.S. government denies that the three Americans were spies and their supporters complain that no evidence against them has been made public. Their trial was held behind closed doors.

(March 25, 2013) -- Three years since it opened, the nation's first completely bookless library on a college or university campus is thriving. The Applied Engineering and Technology (AET) Library at The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) caters to the research needs of its College of Sciences and College of Engineering and has become an essential resource for its students and faculty.
The library has served more than 161,000 students and faculty since it opened its doors as a satellite library in the Applied Engineering and Technology Building on the UTSA Main Campus in March 2010. On average, the library welcomes 1,900 visitors per week when classes are in session.
Designed to engage students in an online format, the AET Library features ultra-modern furniture and decor with 10 desktop computers, a printer, a scanner and five large LCD screens. To support student study sessions and collaboration, the library also offers a series of group study niches and three group study rooms outfitted with whiteboards and glass walls on which students can write. The spaces encourage teamwork, communications and problem solving, skills integral to the success of professional engineers and scientists.
"This isn't like an ordinary library where you're expected to be quiet and stick to yourself," said David Cruz, a junior mechanical engineering student who also works part-time at the AET Library. "The study areas plus the fact that we can write on the walls and have immediate access to tons of scientific materials make it the perfect place to work on projects and solve problems as a group. This library is always full of people."
The AET Library subscribes to approximately 50,000 e-journals and 470 databases providing UTSA students and faculty with full-text access to millions of articles, data sets, videos, conference proceedings and much more. Students can access these materials from any computer, tablet or smartphone with Internet access, whether they are at home, on campus or on-the-go.
With more than one million e-books available to UTSA students for checkout, library officials report that e-book circulation was just over 500,000 in 2012.
For those who don't have an e-reader of their own, several types of e-readers are available for checkout that are pre-loaded with several popular and research STEM titles. Patrons also can request content to be purchased for the e-readers.
"This library has made a tremendous impact on the research and academic success of our science and engineering community and serves as a model for student engagement," said Krisellen Maloney, UTSA dean of libraries. "As UTSA becomes a national research university, we strive to create spaces where students and faculty have access to the academic resources they need in an environment that is designed for collaboration."
Librarians with expertise in the fields of engineering and science are on-call for reference and research consultations, strengthening connections with UTSA students and faculty. This includes partnering with faculty to develop assignments that help students learn the critical thinking skills necessary to find and evaluate information in the digital environment. The AET Library has a dedicated staff of science and engineering student library assistants who have been trained to answer reference questions and assist with locating specialized books, articles and reports online.

A revolution in cloud computing is underway, and Ravi Sandhu believes it will be much bigger than the PC and Internet revolutions that have already changed the way we live. Sandhu, director of the UTSA Institute for Cyber Security, says UTSA is taking a leadership role in tackling three fundamental cloud technology problems: how to build and operate the cloud, how to use it profitably for diverse applications and how to keep it secure.
Sandhu, the Lutcher Brown Distinguished Chair in Cyber Security in the College of Sciences, and Ram Krishnan, assistant professor of electrical engineering in the UTSA College of Engineering, are funded by a $500,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to improve cloud security.
Did you know? Sandhu, a world-renowned cybersecurity expert, holds 30 patents, has authored more than 250 papers and been cited more than 30,000 times.

The Giants aren't necessarily committed to Angel Pagan
Nov 23, 2012, 1:50 PM EDT
One of the assumptions about the Giants heading into the winter was that they were going to basically keep the roster together, and that included re-signing Angel Pagan. But you know what they say about those who assume. From Buster Olney:
The San Francisco Giants have been talking with Angel Pagan, but aren't sure they want to give him as many years as he wants in his next deal…
Probably just posturing — it's hard to see how the Giants don't basically reassemble their 2012 roster for 2013 — but it's not like there are a shortage of veteran outfielders out on the market right now.
- ezthinking - Nov 23, 2012 at 2:21 PM
Signing Pagan would be like signing Huff after 2010. The wisdom to let Uribe and Renteria walk should be exercised on Pagan. Don't let one good season overwhelm his track record of mediocrity.
- lazlosother - Nov 23, 2012 at 2:23 PM
Pagan would be nice but I've got to think if they keep the rotation in tact, and Timmy & Brian bounce back a little…… Well, Pagan would be nice, but not required.
- proudlycanadian - Nov 23, 2012 at 2:58 PM
How good are Olney's sources? This is the guy that claimed that Acta, Tracy and Riggleman were the finalists for the Blue Jays managerial job and was totally off base. For now, I view his credibility as dubious.

Senior citizens in nursing homes in Kfar Saba will be able to vote in the
January election without having to leave the institutions, following a request
by Mayor Yehuda Ben-Hamo.Ben-Hamo sent a letter earlier this week to
Supreme Court Justice Elyakim Rubinstein, chairman of the Central Elections
Committee, asking him to allow elderly people living in nursing homes and
assisted living facilities in Kfar Saba to exercise their right to
vote."We are talking about thousands of residents who want to exercise
their fundamental democratic right and will not be able to if you do not make
polling station accessible to them," Ben-Hamo wrote. "It should be noted that
the voting polls in senior housing can also serve all residents in the area
surrounding the facility, which can allow not only residents but also other
citizens who need more accessibility, to vote."He explained that many
senior citizens in Kfar Saba had complained to his office about the issue saying
that poll stations were too far from nursing homes and that the distance was
difficult for them to travel.According to the municipality, there are
other people, including some who are wheelchair-bound for example, who are also
physically unable to get to the regular polling locations by
themselves.Following the mayor's letter, which was the latest step to a
long struggle for the advancement of this matter, the Central Elections
Committee allowed the Kfar Saba Municipality to install stations inside the
assisted living facilities and nursing homes."This is an unprecedented
step that respects the thousands of elderly in Israel," Ben-Hamo told The
Jerusalem Post on Wednesday. "To me it is actually fulfillment of the Bible
saying 'honor the face of the old man,'" he added.As of now, three
assisted living facilities in the city are set to have polling stations for next
month's election. Ben-Hamo believes this step will have an impact beyond his
city."I am proud of this step and my initiative, which could be paving
the way for seniors and the elderly in other cities to also be able to exercise
their fundamental right as citizens of the state without complications, and I
certainly hope that many of them will actually take advantage of it to the
fullest," he said.Voting polls accessibility has been a large area of
concern in Israel ahead of January 2013 as NGOs, such as Access Israel, continue
to advocate for making voting possible for the disabled as well as for people
with special needs.

Tom Stoppard > Quotes > Quotable Quote
"Because children grow up, we think a child's purpose is to grow up. But a child's purpose is to be a child. Nature doesn't disdain what lives only for a day. It pours the whole of itself into the each moment. We don't value the lily less for not being made of flint and built to last. Life's bounty is in its flow, later is too late. Where is the song when it's been sung? The dance when it's been danced? It's only we humans who want to own the future, too. We persuade ourselves that the universe is modestly employed in unfolding our destination. We note the haphazard chaos of history by the day, by the hour, but there is something wrong with the picture. Where is the unity, the meaning, of nature's highest creation? Surely those millions of little streams of accident and wilfulness have their correction in the vast underground river which, without a doubt, is carrying us to the place where we're expected! But there is no such place, that's why it's called utopia. The death of a child has no more meaning than the death of armies, of nations. Was the child happy while he lived? That is a proper question, the only question. If we can't arrange our own happiness, it's a conceit beyond vulgarity to arrange the happiness of those who come after us."

Keep an eye out for the following this Saturday at Notre Dame Stadium:
More music?: OK, maybe this should be what to hear. Still, I'm interested to see how much music is played again. Some of it was a pleasant surprise (Dropkick Murphys for opening kick) and some of it was a tad annoying (Ozzy, anyone?), but the game-day atmosphere has generated plenty of talk throughout the past week. I'm curious to see if there are any new -- or as many -- tricks rolled out for an afternoon game against Navy as there were for a night game against USC.
Michael Floyd returning punts: He has to at some point, right? Granted, there weren't too many punts the last time Notre Dame played a team that likes to run the option, in Week 6 against Air Force, but at some point a situation must arise in which we get to see what the dynamic wide receiver can do on special teams. The long wait has many anxious, and the Irish could certainly use the boost back there.
How Trey Miller responds: Navy's sophomore quarterback is making his first career start, and it is coming at one of the game's most legendary venues. He led a valiant second-half comeback attempt last week against East Carolina, but he also misfired on a potential game-winning touchdown pass on the final drive. How he responds in a vastly different environment against an Irish defense looking to bounce back from last week's showing at USC is anyone's guess.

Relatives of victims from a train crash in northwestern Spain sobbed and hugged each other near a makeshift morgue in a sports arena for the victims as the death toll rose to 78 and investigators tried to determine the cause.
The train jumped the tracks and at least one passenger told a radio station that it appeared to be going very fast as it went into a pronounced curve while approaching the station in this Catholic shrine city on the eve of a major religious festival.
Seventy-three people were found dead at the scene of the accident and four died in hospitals, said Maria Pardo Rios, spokeswoman for the Galicia region's main court. Another person also died, bringing the toll to 78, but no information was immediately available on where, said an Interior Ministry official who spoke on condition of anonymity because of ministry policy.
At least 141 people were injured - some critically - after the eight-carriage train carrying 218 passengers derailed about an hour before sunset Wednesday night.
Authorities did not identify any possible accident causes, but a spokeswoman with Spain's Interior Ministry said Thursday that the possibility that the derailment was caused by a terrorist attack had been ruled out. She also spoke on condition of anonymity because of the ministry policy.
It was Spain's deadliest train accident since 1972, when a train collided with a bus in southwestern Spain, killing 86 people and injuring 112. Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, who was born in Santiago de Compostela, toured the crash scene Thursday with rescue workers and then went to a hospital to visit injured passengers.
A grim Rajoy told reporters that "for a native of Santiago, like me, this is the saddest day." He said investigations had been launched by judicial authorities and the Public Works Ministry to determine the cause as quickly as possible but declined to take questions from reporters.
Officials in the city cancelled ceremonies for its annual religious festival that attracts tens of thousands of Christians from around the world.
"July 24 will no longer be the eve of a day of celebration but rather one commemorating one of the saddest days in the history of Galicia," said Alberto Nunez Feijoo, president of the region of Galicia where Santiago de Compostela is the capital.
Rescue workers spent the night searching through smashed cars alongside the tracks, and Pardo said it was possible that the death toll could go higher. Many of the dead were taken to a makeshift morgue set up in the city's largest indoor sports arena, where police and court officials were identifying the bodies. Relatives of victims sobbed and hugged each other outside at a nearby information point for families seeking news about their missing loved ones.
A regional Galicia health official, Rocio Mosquera, told reporters at a press conference early Thursday that 141 passengers from the train had been treated at area hospitals, with their conditions ranging from light injuries to serious. Some were still in surgery hours after the crash, while others had been treated and released.
As dawn arrived, cranes brought to the scene were used to lift the cars off the tracks and rescue workers were seen collecting passenger luggage and putting it into a truck next to the tracks.
The site itself was a scene of horror immediately after the crash. Smoke billowed from at least one car which caught fire; another broke into two parts. Residents of the urban neighbourhood alongside the tracks struggled to help victims out of the toppled cars.
Rescue workers lined up bodies covered in blankets alongside the tracks and some passengers were pulled out of broken windows. Television images showed one man atop a carriage lying on its side, using a pickaxe to try to smash through a window. Residents said other rescuers used rocks.
State-owned train operator Renfe said in a statement an unspecified number of staff were also on board the train during the 8.41pm (6.41am NZT) crash on a section of tracks about 4 kilometres from Santiago de Compostela that came online two years ago. Spanish media said the train had two conductors aboard and that both survived.
Renfe and Adif, the state-owned company which manages tracks, signals and other railway infrastructure, were cooperating with a judge who has been appointed to investigate the accident, Renfe said.
It was the third major rail disaster this month. On July 12, six people were killed and nearly 200 were injured when four cars of a passenger train derailed south of Paris.
On July 6, 72 cars carrying crude oil derailed in Lac-Megantic, Ontario, setting off explosions and fires which killed 47 people.
Catholic pilgrims converge on the Santiago de Compostela annually to celebrate a festival honouring St James, the disciple of Jesus whose remains are said to rest in a shrine. The city is the main gathering point for the faithful who make it to the end of the El Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route that has drawn Christians since the Middle Ages.
The accident created a scene that was "Dante-esque," Feijoo said. He declared seven days of mourning to honour the victims.
Several injured passengers said they felt a strong vibration just before the cars jumped the tracks, said Xabier Martinez, a photographer who talked with them after arriving at the scene as rescue workers were removing dozens of bodies.
Passenger Ricardo Montero told the Cadena Ser radio station that "when the train reached that bend it began to flip over, many times, with some carriages ending up on top of others, leaving many people trapped below. We had to get under the carriages to get out."
Another passenger, Sergio Prego, told Cadena Ser the train "travelled very fast" just before it derailed and the cars flipped upside down, on their sides and into the air.
"I've been very lucky because I'm one of the few able to walk out," he said.
The Alvia 730 series train started from Madrid and was scheduled to end its journey at El Ferrol, about 95km north of Santiago de Compostela. Alvias are high-speed but do not go as fast as Spain's fastest bullet trains called AVEs.
The maximum Alvia speed is 250 kph on tracks made especially for the AVEs, and they travel at a maximum speed of 220 kph on normal gauge rails.
Other major train crashes in Spain over the decades include a 1944 accident on a train traveling from Madrid to the Galicia region that killed 78 people. A subway crash in the southern city of Valencia killed 43 people in 2006 and was blamed on excessive speed. The Madrid train bombings carried out in 2004 killed 191 people.

text: We absolutely loved our recent stay here at hotel Marengo! It's great value for money and for the position it's in was worth every penny! It's not near the crowded tourist area, yet 5 min walk to the most beautiful beach and 2 min drive to the main street. Basically you've got great clean rooms with plenty of space ( and most comfy beds!), the use of a fantastic outdoor bbq area and a great outdoor pool with a heated spa bath ( and do remember this motel only has 10 rooms so never crowded!) It also counts that all the staff were lovely and always helped ( was stormy most of the time we were there but James advised us with lots of fun adventures to go on!) Will definitely return!

Bobcat Goldthwait makes a daring assault in "World's Greatest Dad" against our yearning to mythologize the dead. But he loses his nerve just before the earth is completely scorched. I have a notion his first draft screenplay might have been unremittingly dark and cynical. It might not have been "commercial." This version may have a better chance. Audiences think they like bleak pessimism, but they expect the plane to pull out of its dive and land safely.
Robin Williams is the star, demonstrating once again that he's sometimes better in drama than comedy. He has that manic side he indulges, and he works better (for me, anyway) when he's grounded. Here he plays Lance, a high school teacher, the divorced father of a loathsome teenager. His son dies by hanging and becomes the object of a cult of veneration and mourning at the school where he was a student and his dad still teaches.
This premise is well-established because of a disturbingly good performance by Daryl Sabara as Kyle, the disgusting son. Kyle is a compulsive masturbator who makes no effort to conceal his pastime from his father. At school, he's a vulgar sexist, insulting girls in the corridors. At all times he is as angry and hostile as he can possibly be, and is genuinely disliked by the student body -- with the sad exception of Andrew (Evan Martin), his "friend" and victim.
Lance comes home to find his son has strangled himself. He has loved the boy despite everything, and now he attempts to rewrite the story of his death. He manufactures misleading evidence for the police to find -- and although he is a failed author with five rejected novels in the drawer, he now finds his perfect genre by forging a diary allegedly left behind by Kyle at his death.
This diary he posts on the Internet, it goes viral at the high school, and the student body is overtaken with remorse about the way Kyle was treated. Soon he becomes the deity of a death cult, led no doubt by "Twilight" fans, and students start wearing his photo. Lance is now seen as a heroic father.
The way this becomes an obsession is possibly the real point of Goldthwait's film. There's nothing like death to stir the herd instinct. For example, yes, Michael Jackson was a creative and talented artist. But was he as venerated a week before his death as he was a week after? Would anyone have foreseen the state funeral? What exactly did it mean when fans staged an all-night vigil at Neverland? Some were motivated by grief, more perhaps by a desire to participate vicariously in fame. Like sports fanatics, they seek identities through the objects of their adulation.
The Kyle cult becomes a tiger that Lance, the hero's father, has to ride. As he passes through the corridors, the path clears before him and a hush falls. He becomes much more interesting to his girlfriend Claire (Alexie Gilmore), a fellow teacher, who had shown alarming signs of growing sweet on Mike (Henry Simmons), a handsome, younger faculty member.
The only character who doubts the story about Kyle's death and his diary is Andrew -- the only one who knew him, and his onanism, at all well. Lance otherwise triumphs as he creates a fake son in place of his real son, and it all leads up to Kyle Clayton Day at the school. It is quite true, as New York Times critic Stephen Holden points out, that the phony death story has brought out the better natures of the survivors. My question is whether Goldthwait, the creator, after all, of "Shakes the Clown," started out with that intention. There is an inexorably black satire somewhere inside "World's Greatest Dad," signaling to be saved.
This message came to me from a reader named Peter Svensland. He and a fr...

Just tried posemaniacs- 30 second drawings. Some of them are really bad, but it's just practise so I don't care. Anyway, I think they will become better after I've done some more
More posemaniacs.
Here's a quick cube practise. Tried to make good colors.
Good job with the cube, nice use of reflected color.
I think out of all of your work, I enjoy your paintings the most.
Post again soon.
Please visit my sketchbook.

AbstractHigh altitudes both make heat rejection difficult and impose power plant constraints that add significant waste heat to be rejected. The result is a challenging transport problem we can most effectively attack by making use of the longer mean free paths at stratospheric altitudes and the short length scales of particular multiphase ceramic materials to enhance electrically the natural heat convection processes. The initial survey will identify and attempt (i) to optimize the physical dimensions of these devices relative to typical boundary layers and accommodation lengths, and (ii) to establish the electrical operating points, duty cycle, and dynamic ranges.

APPLE launched a new version of its iPad tablet with double the memory space of its current largest model.
The beefier 128GB fourth generation iPad will go on sale online and from Apple stores on Monday, with more storage space for users' music, games and apps.
The most expensive version with wifi and 3G mobile connectivity will have a recommended retail price (RRP) of AU$1123, just AU$167 cheaper than Apple's MacBook Air laptop computer.
The cheapest model with the 128GB memory launched by the company at its headquarters in Cupertino, California, will have a RRP of AU$971.
The upgrade to the fourth generation iPad, which previously stopped at the 64GB version, comes after Microsoft launched its Surface Pro tablet with a 128GB memory.
Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of worldwide marketing, said: "With more than 120 million iPads sold, it's clear that customers around the world love their iPads, and everyday they are finding more great reasons to work, learn and play on their iPads rather than their old PCs."
The new version includes a 9.7-inch Retina display and an HD FaceTime camera.
Apple shares plunged 10 per cent last week after the company reported quarterly results that point to growth slowing after five fat years.
It reported October-December earnings that were flat compared with the year before. Sales grew 18 per cent from the year before, but the start-up of production lines for multiple new products like the iPhone 5 and iPad Mini held back profits.
Apple's sales growth forecast for the current financial quarter of around 7 per cent was also far below the 50per cent-plus rate it is often hit in recent years as it has seen its popularity surge..
The announcement comes during a busy week for computer and mobile phone companies.
Research in Motion (RIM) will tomorrow launch its new BlackBerry 10 handsets and software system in a bid to recapture a large chunk of the mobile market.
And Microsoft today launched a new touchscreen version of its Office software, the first update in three years, as it tries to extend its reach past its traditional home on PCs onto smartphones and tablets that run its Windows operating system.

Gold and silver prices sold off as traders booked profits Thursday following a rally the prior session sparked by the Federal Reserve announcing more economic stimulus.
In afternoon trade, spot gold prices plunged 0.98% to 1,695.80. SPDR Gold Shares (ARCA:GLD), tracking a 10th of an ounce of bullion, gapped down 0.94% to 164.21.
This could be a classic case of traders "selling the news" in the wake of the Fed pledging to more than double its monthly asset purchases from $40 billion to $85 billion until the unemployment rate falls below 6.5%.
AP View Enlarged Image
"Gold and silver follow a pattern of running up ahead of quantitative easing announcements and then having sharp multiday sell-offs afterward, so there might be more selling for a couple more days," Mark Thomas, founder of Silver Price Advisor, wrote in an email. "This same pattern happened in September when QE3 was announced. It shows ... this insane monetary policy is losing its effect and financial markets have become addicted to liquidity injections."
He also believes traders are booking profits ahead of year's end to save on taxes, which are expected to increase next year.
Christopher Blasi, president of gold and metals dealer Neptune Global Holdings in Wilmington, Del., sees a deflationary angle. "It is a pretty sure sign that deflationary forces are in place and the Fed's play book is wanting," he wrote in an email. "Investors understand that gold will appreciate vs. the dollar in an inflationary environment, but many don't know that gold will outperform in a deflationary environment relative to other assets and when calibrated in real purchasing power."
Gold is forming a base or consolidating in a price range below its 50-day moving average but above its 200-day moving average. That indicates it's in a weak long-term uptrend. It has to break above its 50-day line "to get any traction to the upside," says Janice Dorn, co-founder of Jtrader.us. Until it breaks above the 50-day line and holds, any short-term rallies approaching that level will be met with selling, she says.
Gold could consolidate for a few more weeks before continuing its uptrend, says Peter Spina, president of GoldSeek.com in Littleton, Colo. The fundamental catalysts to drive prices higher remain intact, he says. The Fed's continuing policy of printing money to buy bonds will devalue the dollar, making dollar-denominated commodities more expensive. He expects gold to find buying support at $1,650 to $1,675 an ounce.
PowerShares DB U.S. Dollar Index Bullish (ARCA:UUP), measuring the greenback against a basket of major foreign currencies, ticked up 0.14%. It usually moves opposite from gold. It's trading below both its 50- and 200-day moving averages, reflecting severe weakness and a strong downtrend.
Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (ARCA:GDX) fell 3.10% to 46.15. It failed to break above its 200-day moving average during Wednesday's pop. Its chart shows a strong downtrend.
Silver Prices
The price of silver, typically more volatile than gold, dropped 3.23% to 32.47 an ounce.
IShares Silver Trust (ARCA:SLV) fell 3.10% to 31.37.
Global X Silver Miners ETF (ARCA:SIL) gave back 2.89% to 22.82.
Thomas of Silver Price Advisor projects silver will soar to $42 an ounce next year.
In the meantime, commercial traders are overwhelmingly trading silver short, in hopes of profiting from falling prices. Terry Sacka, chief strategist at Cornerstone Asset Metals, in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., expects silver prices to rally once the short sellers close their positions by buying back the contracts they borrowed.
As of late November, the commercial traders had sold short 99,317 silver futures contracts, totaling 496,585,000 ounces of silver. That amounts to about two-thirds of 2011's worldwide mine production and is the highest level of short exposure since 2009, according to Sacka.
"The pressure is on the shorts. When they have to cover, watch out," Sacka wrote in an email. "Wait until the fiscal cliff is resolved and you should see some interesting fireworks."

Active Media Products Intros Penguin Linux USB
Active Media Products Introduces Penguin Bootable Linux USB Drive
Silicone Rubber Penguin USB Drive Boots into Linux on any PC and Benefits World Wildlife Fund (WWF)
Fremont, California, July 28, 2009 - Active Media Products (AMP), manufacturer of SSDs and WWF series USB drives, today announced immediate availability of a bootable Linux USB (BLU) drive that is compatible with Windows® 7 and benefits WWF. These new penguin BLU drives are preloaded with the full installation of Ubuntu Linux 9.0.4.
BLU drives allow booting into Ubuntu Linux from the USB drive regardless of what operating system is installed on the hard drive. Because the hard drive will still be fully accessible when booting from the BLU drive, it's an excellent disaster recovery solution in the event of problems with the operating system on the primary hard drive, because important data files on the hard drive can be backed up onto the BLU drive or another USB storage device.
This BLU drive is designed in the likeness of an emperor penguin with exacting detail, and is made of non-toxic silicone rubber. This drive is completely free of PVC, lead and mercury. Every purchase of a penguin drive benefits World Wildlife Fund. Under its licensing agreement with WWF AMP develops and sells a series of portable USB flash drives in the likeness of endangered species, which now includes penguin, panda and polar bear drives, and contributes five percent of the retail price of this product line to WWF.
WWF Penguin BLU drives are offered in up to 16GB capacities. Ubuntu is a community developed, Linux-based operating system that is perfect for laptops, desktops and servers. The Ubuntu operating system occupies about 700MB of the drive, so there is still plenty of usable storage space for carrying photos, music and other data.
"These bootable Linux USB drives are handy for users who need flexibility in an O/S, and will be an invaluable tool for disaster recovery and system maintenance." WWF penguin BLU drives are available today through Amazon and AVC Distributor.
About Active Media Products
Based in the heart of Silicon Valley, Active Media Products LLC is dedicated to developing creative new media products that improve performance and enhance the user's experience.

Lewis Black 'The Rant is Due Tour' Tickets on Sale Today
Following the highly successful spring leg of his 2013 "The Rant is Due Tour"; tickets for Lewis Black's 2013 fall leg go on-sale today, May 17(th) at www.livenation.com.
LEWIS BLACK, Grammy Award-winning stand-up comedian, is one of the most prolific and popular performers working today. He executes a brilliant trifecta as stand-up comedian, actor and author. Receiving critical acclaim, he performs over 200 nights a year to sell out audiences throughout Europe, New Zealand, Canada and United States. He is one of a few performers to sell out multiple renowned theatres including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Brooks Atkinson Theatre, New York City Center, the Main Stage at the Mirage in Las Vegas and most recently a sold out Broadway run at the Richard Rodgers Theatre in NYC.
His live performances provide a cathartic release of anger and disillusionment for his audience. He is a passionate performer who is a more pissed-off optimist than mean-spirited curmudgeon. Lewis is the rare comic who can cause an audience to laugh themselves into incontinence while making compelling points about the absurdity of our world.
LEWIS BLACK came into national prominence with his appearances on THE DAILY SHOW in 1996. Those appearances on THE DAILY SHOW led to comedy specials on HBO, Comedy Central, Showtime and Epix. In 2001, he won the Best Male Stand-Up at the American Comedy Awards. He has released eight comedy albums, including the 2007 Grammy Award-winning "The Carnegie Hall Performance." LEWIS BLACK won his second Grammy Award for his album "Stark Raving Black." Lewis has published three bestselling books, Nothing's Sacred (Simon & Schuster, 2005), Me of Little Faith (Riverhead Books, 2008) and I'm Dreaming of a Black Christmas (Riverhead Books, 2010).

Reviews From Guests
We had a great stay in this open and light filled apartment. The location of the place is great and Justin was very easy and helpful with arranging the pick up of keys. I loved the style and layout of the studio and we will definitely try to stay again when we're back in NY!
Justin was a great host & very helpful. The view of the Manhattan skyline beats any other. Good location, near a supermarket and a 10min walk from a train station.
We had a great stay at Justin's apartment. It's cosy, comfy and in a quiet area which makes it a nice retreat after a long day. The views from the rooftop over Manhattan are spectacular too. We had a problem with a leaking tap at one stage and messaged Justin- he was quick to reply and sent someone over to fix it straight away. He was a great host and we would stay here again when returning to Williamsburg.
Justin's Loft is exactly what you can expect from the pictures - artsy, spacious and of course with an amazing view from the rooftop. The neighborhood ist great and the people in the house are very friendly. Justin is a quickly answering and caring host. I would definitly come back and recommend a stay to everyone who thinks about visiting New York City.
Justin's place is in a great location, close to the L metro which goes direct into manhattan. The area has tonnes of shops for all your needs & the apartment has a kitchen area you can store bits for breakfast. The building has a great rooftop you can see the manhattan skyline from - beautiful at night! We had some issues checking in but he fixed this for us quickly. The building had a great vibe & perfect mix of helpful people to make you feel at home. We'd stay here again & recommend it!
Le studio est conforme à la description. Il est très agréable, propre, fonctionnel, très lumineux en journée et calme. En revanche le lit est posé sur une mezzanine exiguë pas très pratique. L'immeuble est un vieux bâtiment industriel reconverti en lofts très sympa. Nous avons adoré le rooftop et sa vue incroyable sur Manhattan, parfait pour prendre un verre et admirer le coucher de soleil. Justin a été flexible pour notre heure d'arrivée. Seul point négatif, le studio est d'autant moins éclairé le soir que l'ampoule principale ne fonctionnait pas et Justin ne l'a pas remplacé pendant notre séjour.
We had a very nice stay in Justin's studio. He send us all necessary information in advance so we had a smooth arrival. The place was clean, well located and nicelly decorated. We also would like to thank Justin for his flexibility and help with organising our departure.
Great apartment in A great location. The apartment was very clean and is a perfect for a couple looking to explore Williamsburg. Everything was easy and clear. Thank you Justin.
Really authentic Brooklyn Appartment. Good karma and a very comfortable bed! Everything was clean and nice. Supernice view from the huge window. Bathroom was with nice bathtub and shower. The rooftop was awesome to go to to relax. We loved our stay.
