By KEN LARSONSun Advocate publisher
Jim Kelly may be only 72 years old but he's been perfecting his craft for 63 years, something he started at eight years old living in the hills of Louisiana. Jim was raised by his uncles and a grandmother and their business as bootleggers brought them into town every Saturday to peddle their whiskey.
As a boy Jim says he got bored and tired of the old drunks and asked if his family could drop him off at the local cattle sale yard in Alexandria, just across the river from Pineville, where they sold their moonshine. Next to the sale barn was a saddle shop, western wear store and a restaurant. Jim walked into the saddle shop that first Saturday, pulled up a stool and watched Smokey Johnson repairing saddles. He recalls sitting there watching for three Saturdays in a row before Johnson spoke to him. On the fourth week the old saddle maker grunted, "Kid, if your going to hang out here you're going to have to help out." Thus started a career that has spanned over six decades.
"Saddles weren't new to me," says Kelly, explaining that he used to clean and oil them for his uncles and already knew how to tear them down or disassemble them and had put lots of saddles back together again.
At 14, Jim Kelly headed west, looking for a new life as a cowboy, taking with him six years of saddle making experience but a lifetime of hard work.
"Horses and saddles were my only interests and besides a little construction and truck driving along the way, I have been around them all my life," he says.
"I have always had a saddle I was working on and started gathering the tools when I was just a kid," he smiled as he pointed to several handmade tools he has worked with for over 50 years.
Walking into Jim's saddle shop, which takes the better part of what was once the family room of Jim's home that he shares with his wife Char, saddles in all states of construction crowd the room. Naked rawhide hangs on the walls, plastic bags are draped over the horn of a saddle he is currently building, while elaborately tooled cuffs, chaps, and spur strands hover the walls. A sewing machine, made in 1912, that is essential in the saddle making business sits behind his work bench. The counter is filled with jars, cans, tools all piled high among the beautiful shades of tanned leather.
One of Kelly's first destinations after he left home was Denver, Colo. where he explored the mile-high city. Along the way he worked with saddle makers like F.O.Baird, H. H. Heiser and Roy Barney. Colorado was home for many years, operating the Trails End Saddle Shops in Colorado Springs and Monta Vista, he eventually took his business to Cody, Wyo. In 1986 he opened a shop in the corner of the historic Irma Hotel, named after Buffalo Bill's daughter.
The round face, talkative Irishman loves to share his stories of working cowboys and cattlemen of the west. He estimates that he has built more than 3500 saddles in his lifetime and most of those have a story behind them.
Years of riding bucking horses took their toll causing Jim serious knee injuries. His days of riding the traditional Western saddle was over and forced him to ride English or side saddles. In the late 1960s he incorporated the comfort qualities of an English saddle into the design of a Western saddle that was easier on his knees. He designed a skirt or fender that fit the horse better, with flexible stirrup leathers that bring the rider's legs forward. This style became so popular that cowboys started asking for it and Kelly estimates that he has sold over 700 saddles of this design.
Kelly's success as a saddle maker was given a shot in the arm when one of his designer saddles was purchased by Arizona entrepreneur Morton H. Fleischer. Fleischer's collection of Western memorabilia, including Kelly's saddle, is featured in the museum of Perimeter Center in Scottsdale, Ariz. "Tribute to a Working Cowboy," a 1995 work by Kelly is titled like the artwork it is. A masterpiece of leather carving, it depicts the workaday life of a cowboy in scenes etched into the saddle's fenders, jockeys, and skirts.
His original western scenes have inspired him to create number two in his collection series. The current masterpiece he is constructing is titled, "It Ain't Been Easy," and will be part of an invitational saddle show at the PRCA (Pro Rodeo Cowboy Association) Hall of Fame in Colorado Springs, Colo. Only 12 saddle makers from United States and Canada have been invited to the juried show, which begins in mid-September. Kelly explains that the name stems from the numerous wrecks and storms a cowboy gets into in his lifetime.
That newest scene consists of an old cowboy, perhaps 75 or 80, bowlegged, broken up from years of hard work, no teeth, arthritis, wearing the expression, "boys, it ain't been easy," on his weathered face.
Other scenes he has created range from a young boy who struggles to climb up a horse and once in the saddle realizes one of his reins has fallen to the ground to another of a tired old cowhand sitting in front of his wood fire on the prairies sleeping with a cup of hot coffee in his hand after an exhausting day on the range.
Chuck wagon scenes, scenes of weathered cowboys biting the dust, a cowboy's wife hard at work cutting wood, while her husband trails cattle, are some of the others.
The saddles in the Colorado show will go from $20,000 and up, but Kelly explains that a good working saddle often runs around $2500.
Sitting there among his homemade tools like the swivel knife, burnisher, club bevel, crow's foot, undercut and mat backgrounder, Jim Kelly represents a dying trade.
"There aren't many of us left," he says, holding up one hand to make a point. He did, however, throw in that he has a couple students that are doing well in their saddle making businesses.
Kelly's experience as a cowboy gives him the knowledge and ability to tell the cowboy story on his saddles. The trials and tribulations that are etched on his masterpieces are preserving the cowboy story. His business is one that will be a showcase for generations to come.

In the United States, your child's daycare center, preschool, or school can require you to provide proof that your child has had certain diseases or been immunized against them. All public elementary schools require proof of vaccination for children entering school, and most private schools do, too.
Exemptions from the law are permitted for medical reasons, however. All but two states (Mississippi and West Virginia) also allow people to refuse vaccinations for religious reasons. To qualify, you may be asked to prove that you're a member of a church (such as the Church of Christ, Scientist) that's known to object to vaccines.
More than 20 states permit exemptions for personal or philosophical reasons, according to the Institute for Vaccine Safety at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. (Not coincidentally, these states have higher rates of measles, chicken pox, and pertussis.) The definition varies from state to state, but typically parents must write a letter or fill out a form (or in some cases sign a waiver on the back of the standard health form) explaining that they have strong personal philosophical objections to vaccinating.
State health agencies and schools require proof of immunization because most diseases that can be prevented by vaccine are transmitted more easily when children congregate, as they do in schools. In the late 1970s, school nurses, public healthcare providers, family physicians, and parents realized the potential for diseases to spread rapidly in schools and vigorously sought laws requiring that children be vaccinated before entering school.
More recently, as a result of parental and community pressure, an increasing number of states have begun to allow exemptions for personal and philosophical reasons. But this doesn't mean that all daycare centers or schools are required to accept all children. A private center or school may refuse entry to an unvaccinated child.
Note: Not all places require every shot. For example, some don't yet require the hepatitis B or chicken pox vaccine.

It's official: This winter was a bad snow year. Not that we really needed NASA to tell us this, but alas, a report comparing last year's plentiful powder with this winter's sad snowfall amounts blames the mild winter on a La Niña pattern that pushed the precipitation northward. That was compounded by something called an Arctic Oscillation, a strong one in this case, that kept all that cold air circling the North Pole rather than drifting down to more southerly latitudes.
Winter storm warnings can be a happy sign your ski vacation is going to be a good one. But they can also mean a delay -- or, at worst, the end -- of a long-planned and long-anticipated trip to the hills. And now things are getting worse. As the rough economy has shrunk demand for travel, airlines have shrunk their capacity for travelers. And as that capacity has shrunk, the New York Times reports, the airlines' ability to accommodate weather-stranded travelers has also receded.
We don't want to jinx anything, but the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (the guys and gals who watch the weather for the government) tells us the climate is in an El Niño pattern at the moment -- and will be through the upcoming winter. Typically, El Niño years mean big snowfall for the Sierras (Northern California and Nevada), the Rockies (Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona), and the northern and southern tips of the Appalachians.

The Carbon County Sheriff's Office intends to continue the search for a 1-year-old boy who was lost when a vehicle was overwhelmed by flood waters in Garley Wash two weeks ago.
"We realize how important it is for the family to have some idea of what happened so we will continue to search," pointed out Sheriff James Cordova last Thursday.
The search for the boy included almost 100 professionals during the first week after the tragedy. But on Aug. 7, the command post at the old Pinnacle Canyon School was closed and the search teams from outside the area left the county.
"I would like to know what happened to my baby," said Jayden Seal's mother, Courtney, during a telephone interview Thursday. "I need to know."
Cordova indicated that the river and other areas are still being watched by officials. In addition, dog teams will return to Carbon County in the next week or so to search the Garley Canyon area again.
During the initial emergency effort, as many as 10 canine teams from Rocky Mountain Dogs, American Search Dogs and the Duchesne County Sheriff's Office were in the area searching for the missing youngster.
During the search of Garley Canyon, dog teams found a diaper the child may have been wearing, but discovered no signs of the little boy.
The next day, recovery teams began digging through the silt piled up behind a culvert cossing under Rim Rock Drive to look for remains because a number of the dogs got "hits" in the area.
All that was found after a couple of days of digging were some pieces of the vehicle that had been washed down during the deluge and a case of compact discs.
When the Bronco was hit by a wall of water just south of the Wildcat Loadout on Trestle Road it dragged the SUV down the wash almost a mile. Both parents survived, as well as Brooklyn, their little daughter. The next day 5-year-old Levi Seal died at Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake from injuries he received in the accident.
Courtney said that she and her husband, Josh, brought 3-year-old Brooklyn home from the hospital last Wednesday and that she is doing well.

In the wake of the Senate defeat of a measure to expand background checks on gun purchases, an AP/GfK survey shows that, contrary to Obama's insistence that 90 percent of Americans favor tightened gun laws, there is a healthy — and increasing — resistance to the president's gun control plan, which includes a universal background check, a provision Second Amendment advocates warn will ultimately lead to a national registry of gun owners.
While 49 percent of those polled in the survey said they think gun laws should be tightened up, the Associated Press noted that those numbers are down from 58 percent in January — just a month after the tragic Newtown, Connecticut, shootings, when the president and congressional Democrats were capitalizing on the emotions of the moment. Over the past three months, even as the White House has trotted out Newtown parents and others impacted by violence committed with guns as props in its gun control strategy, Americans have begun reconsidering the implications of increased federal gun regulations. The AP poll noted that a total of 52 percent of Americans now disapprove of Obama's gun control efforts.
Overall, a total of 38 percent of those surveyed said they think America's gun laws should not be altered in any way. Second Amendment advocates note that the number strongly contradicts Obama's road-stroke declarations of universal approval for his gun control package. "By now, it's well known that 90 percent of the American people support universal background checks that make it harder for a dangerous person to buy a gun," said Obama following the Senate defeat. He insisted that "we're talking about convicted felons, people convicted of domestic violence, people with a severe mental illness" who would be denied guns through the check. "Ninety percent of Americans support that idea," he declared.

BRASHER FALLS - The St. Lawrence Central varsity lacrosse teams made an overpowering recovery from a fast Colton-Pierrepont start en route to posting a 14-1 win in the first round of the Section 10 Class C playoffs on Monday.
Cody Green gave the visiting Colts the early lead when he converting on an assist from Gyle Dominy just 1:30 into the game. The Larries worked their back with a pair of goals in the first quarter then took control with six more unanswered goals in the second.
Cody Burns anchored a balanced SLC attack with two goals and four assists. Lukas Arquiett chipped in two goals and three helpers. Blake Baldwin fashioned four goals. Styles Arquiett broke through for another three goals. Marshall Burninghausen finished with two goals and one assist while Brody Simonds tallied a goal as the Larries improved to 13-2 overall. Ian Lynch (2 assists), Eric Lynch (1 assist) and Nick Randall (1 assist) also contributed toward the winning effort.
Kody Kocsis also logged an assist while working the crease for 10 saves in the win. Craig Miller turned aside 15 shots for the Colts (0-16).
The Larries will now play host to Canton this afternoon at 5 p.m. in the semi-final round. The Bears advanced via a 12-2 win over OFA at the SUNY Canton turf while Potsdam turned back Saranac Lake 10-7 in a Monday evening playoff opener.
Potsdam 10, Saranac Lake 7: After battling to a 3-3 tie through the first quarter, the Sandstoners outscored the Red Storm 5-1 in the second en route to earning the hard-fought win.
This was a tough game. They did a good job of packing things in defensively and it took us a little while to get going, noted coach Kevin Talcott afterward. I was happy with the way we played.
With the win, the Sandstoners (8-9) earned a chance to take on undefeated top seed Salmon River in the semi-finals this afternoon in Fort Covington starting at 5 p.m.
Hayden Hart tallied a goal and six assists in the win over the Red Storm. Garrett Kilgore struck for three goals and one helper. Steven Lewis (1 assist) and Kyle Grant each netted a pair of goals while Chris Stone (1 assist) and Sam Woods both notched singletons.
Seth Pickering sparked the Red Storm offense with five goals while Jeff Stevens contributed two goals and an assist.
Jason Cardinal made 10 saves backstopping the win and Mike Burpoe stopped 13 shots in the loss.
Canton 12, OFA 2: Peyton Vanbibber generated three goals and Garrett Glasglow connected for two goals and two assists as the Bears steadily pulled away from a 4-1 first-quarter lead. Jake Facey also netted a pair of goals while Ryan Huiatt, Jack Elberty, Josh Pierson, Isaac Thrasher and Cody Moore all scored once.
Andrew Roddy connected for the two Blue Devils goals.
Nate Gibson and Andrew McCormick combined to backstop the win while Spencer Lawrence provided 15 saves for OFA.
A promisng season ended on a disappointing note for the Potsdam Central varsity girls lacrosse team.
After contending for the regular season title after handing Massena its first NAC loss in three season, the Lady Sandstoners saw their hopes of playing for the Section 10 Class C title end in a 6-5 loss at home to Heuvelton.
It just wasnt our day, noted coach Sarah Bullard after her third-seeded squad was knocked off by the sixth-seeded Lady Bulldogs.
Olivia St. Pierre scored the first goal of the game with 13:42 left in the first half for Heuvelton but Hannah Drechsel tied the game with 12:08 for Potsdam. Jackie Sovie, a Lisbon student and Heuveltons leading scorer, went on to score the next two goals at 10:11 and 2:46 left in the first half followed by goals by Olivia St. Pierre (1:06) and Maddie St. Pierre (:41.9) as the Lady Bulldogs worked their way to a 5-1 halftime lead.
The Lady Sandstoners began to find their offensive stride in the second half scoring with 18:23 and 10:05 remaining to cut the deficit to 5-3 on goals from Jenny Tardelli and Ally Miller. Sovie scored her third goal in the game with 9:00 left to put Heuvelton ahead 6-3 and the Lady Bulldogs held to the Lady Sandstoners to a pair of goals in the final 20 seconds by Michaela Cole (:19.1) and Miller (:02.5).
We really played a great first half. Defensively, Heather Thompson made some great stops early and Kylie Piercey, Danielle Moyer and Ashlyn Foster marked up well but Potsdam came right back at us in the second half, said HCS coach Becky Kelley who won her first game against Potsdam as head coach.
Thompson finished with seven saves backstopping the win while Katelyn Bloom turned aside seven shots for Potsdam, which closed its season at 10-7.
Heuvelton (4-12) will now get set to play at second-seeded Canton in the semi-finals on Wednesday at 5 p.m.
Saranac Lake 10, OFA 9: In the other Class C opener on Monday, the host Red Storm rallied from a 7-4 halftime deficit to claim the win over the Lady Blue Devils. Kylie Sappone netted four goals in the winning effort and Sheila Decker made 12 saves backstopping the win.
Nikki Holmes scored three times for OFA while Mackenzie Bresett (2 assists) and Kaitlin Sheppard (1 assist) each finished with a pair of goals and Erica Chase turned aside 12 of the shots she faced.
The Red Storm (6-7) will now travel to Massena on Wednesday to take on the top-seeded Lady Raiders at Mike Nicholas Field starting at 5 p.m.

I'm Building a Hotel. Will You Help Me?
Let me begin by saying that it will be like no hotel you've ever seen in your life. It's going to be a big Hotel – a massive, super big Hotel beyond belief – so big that humans will almost never be able to reach the outer walls and fences of the property. Yes, it's going to be BIG!
As surely as it is going to be big, it's going to be expanding in all directions all of the time. We'll never quit building onto it. It will have many rooms, so many rooms that they will never be used or serve any constructive purpose, but I want to have them anyway. I like empty, unused space. There will be lots to look at…lots of lights and chandeliers and bright ornaments…and they'll always be running, even when no one is around.
If you call the front desk and ask for a bucket of ice, a couple of extra blankets and a pillow, or perhaps a towel, I may have the items sent to your room…or I may not. I may send 10,000 blankets, so much so that the room can't hold them, or I may just send one. There's always a 50/50 chance that I will grant your requests.
Some of the rooms and wings of my glorious Hotel will be either hot or cold. Some guest rooms will have either air conditioners or heaters. Some will have both, but others will have neither. There are rooms in this Hotel that are kept so hot that no human could enter them without being disintegrated. And there are rooms kept so cold that guests entering them would freeze solid in under 30 seconds of exposure. Registering guests have no control over whether or not they will get put in a room with moderate or extreme temperatures. It is based on the accidents of registration that determines who gets what.
You'll have to prepare yourself when staying at my Hotel as some of the doors and stairwells open to unfinished hallways and rooms. You might take a single step and plummet to your death, so be careful. And once you check in, there is no leaving. You can't step outside of the Hotel, so make the best of it and try to enjoy the good that there is.
The kitchens in my Hotel are exquisite. There is no food I won't offer, except in certain places of the Hotel where guests will be left at or near starvation, but for everyone else, there is plenty to eat. My cooks are not what you would expect. They offer such a huge selection of dishes that you have to be careful what you order. My kitchen has herbs and spices and ingredients that are toxic, as well as nourishing and tasty. The cooks might serve you poisonous mushrooms at the breakfast buffet. Only experience can inform you of what foods will nourish you and which will poison you. You can watch other guests get sick and die, and over time, you'll learn what to consume and what never to consume.
My Hotel does have a maintenance crew, though you wouldn't know it. When something breaks, the guests usually have to fix it. You can put in a work order to have a door or a safe or your TV remote replaced, but that rarely works. If you want something done, do it yourself! I've given you the permission to do as you will. Just so that we're clear, remember that once it's done, I want the credit for doing it!
There are no police or security at my Hotel, and so any domestic disputes that arise must be settled in-house by the guests as they set up systems of government to try and keep order themselves. But remember, once law and order has been established by whichever dominant party made it to the top, I want credit for it! I will speak and keep order through that party.
The complaint system is a little different around here—there isn't one. I hate complainers. Everybody always has something they don't like, so I don't want to hear it. It just angers me. If you're not satisfied with the way things are, that's too bad. It's my Hotel. I can run it the way I want.
Guests will be provided with an instruction manual on how to be better and more informed guests of my Hotel. Please try not to fight over how it is interpreted, but use it to show others how to be an effective establishment of good guests.
So…will you help me?
Dig deep now, my dear investors! ☺
Come on!
No one?
Well, I knew the atheists wouldn't help me…but you Christians?
Why won't you help me?
I will operate my Hotel just like your God operates this universe.
How is it you find fault with me, and not with your deity?
I don't understand...shouldn't we resemble our Creator in the ways we operate?
Why do I get faulted for doing the same things God does?
I even ask for money like your God does!
Why can't you support his works by supporting my Hotel?
"Do as I say, not as I do," huh? Is that how God is? Needless to say, I am very disappointed!

LOL! Looks like the wheels are falling off the Obama hope & change wagon. Joel Gilbert, once an Obama supporter, has created a full length documentary called " There's No Place Like Utopia" that blasts Obama's hope & change. More and more people are beginning to realize what a phoney he really is and that he lies to everyone.
U.S. Generals Start Citizens Commission Against Obama
I saw the following on the Reagan Coalition and thought it is about time we, the American People, expose Obama's actions;
"Two retired U.S. generals are now making it their top priority to monitor the actions of President Barack Obama. Army Gen. Paul E. Vallely and Air Force Brig. Gen. Charles Jones have created a citizens' commission to look at the Obama administrations actions on national and security issues." (Reagan Coalition)
Read "The Americans" Project by MG Vallely & BG Jones
Obama and Kerry Have a Chamberlain Moment
Last Saturday, Secretary of State John Kerry, using a well-known tactic of President Obama (appeasing our enemies), signed an "interim deal with the terrorist leaders of Iran. In a recent email from Brigitte Gabriel of Act For America, Brigitte compares Obama's puppet, John Kerry to "British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain coming back to Britain from Munich in the fall of 1938 waving a piece of paper with Adolf Hitler's signature on it declaring "peace in our time." (Brigitte Gabriel)
Obama has turned his back on Americans in Benghazi, our Military & Veterans, allowed conservatives to be harassed by the IRS, sent the DOJ after reporters his administration disagrees with, allowed the NSA to spy on Americans. Caused millions to lose their health care and is well on his way to destroying our economy. He has also turned his back on our allies in the Middle East, mainly Israel with this latest round of appeasement to Iran.
From day one, when Obama came on the scene, he has made it clear that his goal was to tear down America and change its arrogant ways in the world. This man, who was raised by Communists, sought out Marxist professors is fulfilling his father's dreams he wrote about in his biography "Dreams of My Father".
It is well past time that America wake up to this fraud. American's failure to see the direction this man is taking our country will make what Hitler did to Europe look a Boy Scout Jamboree.
For more info on Obama, I suggest the following:
The Obama Time Line The Obama File and Discover the Networks
Obama's Leadership Image in Syrian Opposition Probably at an All-Time Low
According to ABC's Terry Moran, "Obama's Leadership Image in Syrian Opposition Probably at an All-Time Low" Really? I would say Obama's leadership during the Syrian civil war has been no existent. There has probably never been such an incompetent amateur leading a nation as this man.
The Truth About George Zimmerman, Trayvon Martin, Skittles And Iced Tea
The Truth About George Zimmerman, Trayvon Martin, Skittles And Iced Tea is hard for race baiters, but facts do not lie.
President Obama: 'Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago'
President Obama said the other day, "Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago" and I think there is probably some truth to what he said. After all, we know Obama was a pot smoking, coke snorting young man who sought out radicals so he "would not be mistaken for a sellout". This does seem very close to the life of Trayvon who used drugs and tried to imitate the thugs so many black teens look up to today.
What the President missed in this opportunity was to condemn the gangsta life style so many teens try to copy today. I'm not saying this was Trayvon's fault. Anytime a young person dies, it is a tragedy and we really need to be outraged about the thousands of teen deaths brought on by black-on-black violence. We do not need to manufacture strawman arguments on how this was racism. Instead of stoking the fires of racial tensions, the President should focus on the factors that are contributing to violence within the black the community. How about taking actions to create jobs, promoting family values? How about creating an environment of independence and not dependence? How about condemning the gangsta hustlers and race baiters, instead of inviting them to the White House?
We have allowed, and in some cases, encouraged a culture that glorifies violence and racial divide. The events of that night could have been a lot different if Trayvon would have just called 911 to report someone following him. However, Trayvon reacted in the way so often repeated by young blacks today. He did not want to "be mistaken for a sellout" and show some civility. He had to go "gangsta" on that "creepy ass cracker".
The sad part of this story is the President is no different from Al Sharpton, Jesses Jackson and other race baiters who make a living stirring up trouble between Americans so they can be seen as relevant. The fact is a black teen is safer walking through an all-white neighborhood in America then in some all black neighborhoods in Chicago or Detroit. Until the black community stands up and recognizes they are being lied to by these so called "Black Community Leaders" who are actually taking advantage of them, we will continue to see young blacks killing each other, while being told Americans are racist.
Understanding the Need for High Capacity Magazines
As a member of the NRA I'm strongly against all of these knee jerk reactions to ban assault weapons and high capacity magazines. I received a recent email from the NRA that had a link to a short video Understanding the need for high capacity magazines by Rob Pincus,Managing Editor, Personal Defense Network. You can click on the link to read more and watch the video. This is good stuff for folks who may not understand personal defense tactics or may not know anything about the term "high capacity magazines"
Low Info Americans Are Destroying This Country
In an another example of how low info Americans are destroying this country, Jimmy Kimmel asks the Confusing Question of the Day, should Obama pardon the Sequester and send it to Portugal? These people are voting and they do not have a clue about what is going on in our country and around the world. Now there have been too many of these type of videos, from Jay Leno to John Stossel. They are funny, but really it is sad that many Americans really are this stupid and vote. If you need any more proof, just consider who we have in the White House serving a second term and the last two ladies in the below video or you can see all the well informed Americans here.
Is Joe Biden Hearing Voices In His Head
In another display of total BS coming from our delusional VP, Joe Biden is reported to have wrote the following in a fund raising email.
"When I asked several Republican senators after they voted against background checks, not one offered an explanation on the merits of why they couldn't vote for them. But almost to a person, they said, "I don't want to take on Ted Cruz. I don't want to take on Rand Paul. They'll be in my district." Breitbart
So do you think Joe Biden is hearing voices in his head?
Reid and Heller Insert Crony Kickback Into Immigration Bill
"Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and Sen. Dean Heller (R-NV) have inserted a provision that amounts to little more than a handout to Las Vegas casinos into the repackaged immigration reform bill…" Breitbart
At what point will the folks in Nevada realize that Harry Reid is a crook? More importantly when will Americans begin to hold politicians accountable for their back room deals that cost all Americans our hard earned tax dollars, and I'm not just talking about Democrats? This type of crony deal making only hurts the country.

LONDON (MarketWatch)—Worries that euro-area ministers might delay the disbursement of aid for Greece weighed on European stocks Thursday, overshadowing stronger-than-expected data on U.S. jobless claims.
Both the ECB and the Bank of England made no changes to monetary policy, as expected.
The Stoxx Europe 600 index SXXP, -1.49% fell 0.2% to close at 270.58 in choppy trading, adding to a 1.4% loss on Wednesday.
Did social media swing 2012 vote?
University of North Carolina professor Daniel Kreiss discusses how twitter was used in the campaigns and by voters during what's considered the first "social election." (Photo: Getty)
The index started the session on a strong footing, after the Greek parliament late Wednesday narrowly approved a batch of austerity measures. See: Greece passes fresh austerity measures: reports
"The vote in Greece is potentially a step in the right direction, but as always [Greece] is an issue that refuses to remove itself from the agenda," said Keith Bowman, equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown.
"For the time being, markets look as if they are going to remain range bound. The degree of uncertainty [about the euro zone] is still there," he said."We have these nagging factors in the background that are not providing us with any direction."
Siemens AG SIE, -1.63% US:SI rose 1.8%, after the industrial group said it would cut 6 billion euros ($7.67 billion) of costs by 2014. See: Siemens announces €6 billion cost-cutting drive
Shares of HeidelbergCement AG HEI, -1.69% gained 3.4%, after the cement maker posted higher profit from continuing operations for the third quarter and affirmed its outlook for improved 2012 revenue. See: HeidelbergCement backs 2012 view as sales rise
KBC Group NV shares KBC, -0.40% jumped 6%, as the Belgian bank swung to a €531 million third-quarter profit from a €1.58 billion loss a year earlier. See: KBC swings to profit as loan volumes grow
Also on the move, shares of Skanska AB SKAB, -1.81% lost 1.1%. The Swedish construction company reported softer-than-expected third-quarter earnings and warned of weak demand in the Nordic countries. See: Skanska sees weak Nordic demand as profits fall
U.S. data and central bank decisions
European stocks spent most of the session in positive territory, but erased gains after Bloomberg News, citing a European Union official, reported that euro-area finance ministers may delay a decision to pay out Greece's next bailout installation until late November.
The Athens General Index GD, -0.14% slid 3.8% to 794.67, with National Bank of Greece SA ETE, +2.49% off 10.5%.
In the U.S., data showed first-time jobless claims fell by 8,000 to 355,000 last week, although the data was distorted by superstorm Sandy. See: U.S. jobless claims drop 8,000 to 355,000

Many pulmonary hypertension patients are diagnosed with PH in association with one or more related conditions. Research shows that up to 30% of scleroderma patients, 20-40% of sickle cell patients and one out of every 200 HIV patients develop at least mild PH.
Other conditions commonly associated with PH include mixed connective-tissue disease, congenital heart disease (CHD), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), sleep apnea, liver disease and lupus. PH has also been linked to the use of certain drugs and toxins, including fenfluramine, dexfenfluramine and methamphetamines.
If you're juggling multiple conditions and the symptoms, specialists and medications that accompany each, you're not alone. Many patients and caregivers in our community understand the uncertainty and stress that go hand-in-hand with a diagnosis of PH related to another disease. Whether you're living with PH plus scleroderma, PH plus liver disease or PH plus another condition, you can share information and connect with people who understand.

Jacob S. Johnson vows to keep fighting to keep the chain link fence he installed at his Mullin Street home.
The problem?
Mr. Johnson put up the fence at 261 Mullin St. though he absolutely knew that it would violate the citys fence ordinance, he said Wednesday. And the city has since notified him that the fence does, indeed, violate parts of the ordinance.
For one thing, he failed to obtain a permit for the fence, the city code enforcement office said. The fence also violates the ordinance because chain-link fences are prohibited in residential areas within 20 feet of the street and because the fence is within 5 feet of Mr. Johnsons two neighbors driveways less than 20 feet from the street.
So Mr. Johnson went to get advice from Mayor Jeffrey E. Graham after the code enforcement office put him on notice.
He knew it violated the ordinance and put it up anyway, the mayor said, adding that he told Mr. Johnson there was not much I could do.
But Mr. Johnson insisted he improved the neighborhood by completing the project, which includes an in-ground pool with a waterfall, a spacious patio area, decorative stone and elaborate landscaping. It replaces a side yard hidden from the street by a row of overgrown bushes.
Mr. Johnson, who owns Jakes Lawn Care, wont divulge how much he spent on the project, saying only that it was expensive. He purchased the home last October with plans to remodel it and then flip it, he acknowledged. It is currently on the market.
Needing to conform with state safety regulations, Mr. Johnson said, he had to put up the fence because of the pool. He ordered the chain-link fence and other materials in June and went to inquire about the fence requirements with the city before starting to construct in August.
By then, it was too late. The fence was ordered and Alpine Fence, Route 3, Hounsfield, was ready to complete the job.
Mr. Johnson blamed the problem on an amendment that the Watertown City Council passed nearly two years ago that prohibits a fence less than 5 feet from a neighbors driveway when the fence is within 20 feet of the street. It was passed to appease a single Haley Street resident who complained that her neighbor installed a fence so close to her driveway that she could not safely back out of it.
Mr. Johnson called the amendment illogical, irresponsible and irrational.
And he said he intends to do whatever he can to keep the fence.
Im standing my ground, he said, maintaining that the city is just giving him a hard time.
But Code Enforcement Supervisor Shawn R. McWayne said his office just followed what the City Council passed in 2011. His office had no choice but to enforce it, he said.
Mr. Johnson plans to go to the Oct. 7 council meeting to present his case. He also intends to seek a variance from the Zoning Board of Appeals.
Asked why he proceeded with the fence knowing it did not follow the ordinance, Mr. Johnson said, I am just standing up for whats right.

PORTLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - Hundreds of Maine people were in Boston for the marathon today, Many others were there just to enjoy the holiday. As they came home tonight, people are telling stories about what they heard and saw.
The overwhelming comment we heard was- it's good to be home. We talked with Mainers coming back from their Patriots Day in the big city - a day that turned out to be very different from what they expected.
Surprisingly perhaps, the bombing and confusion in Boston did not interrupt Amtraks Downeaster service or the Concord coach lines buses to and from the city. But people did feel the shock and confusion caused by the bombing.
People said police were searching trash cans at North Station, and the PA announcer was telling people to keep watch for anything unusual. As we mentioned before, many of the folks we talked to said they were relived to get home...and get home on time.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. Clarkson finally found its scoring touch Saturday night but it came too late and its season ended in a 4-3 loss to Brown in the second game of an ECAC Hockey first round series Saturday night.
The seventh-seeded Bears (13-12-6) scored the first three goals of the game and built a 4-1 lead by the end of the second period.
Clarkson (9-20-7), the No. 10 seed, rallied with two goals in the third period to cut the deficit to one, but could not find a tying goal as time expired. The Golden Knights had not scored in three games.
We were jumping in the first (period) and we took a bad penalty and it sets us back and we didnt handle adversity well, Clarkson coach Casey Jones said. You cant play playoff hockey and give up five odd-man rushes in the first period. Ultimately we got what we deserved.
Brown took the lead for good with a power-play goal from Matt Lorito at 8 minutes, 16 seconds of the opening period.
Jake Goldberg scored a second goal for the Bears at 12:31 and Dennis Robertson made it 3-0 with a goal at 16:28 of the opening period.
Clarkson snapped a scoreless streak that reached 218 minutes, 50 seconds with a goal from Joe Zarbo at 17;21 of the first to cut the lead to 3-1.
The Bears regained a three-goal lead at 13:10 of the second period after another power-play goal, this one coming from Goldberg.
Their power play was better than advertised, Jones said.
Clarkson finally found a way to get past Bears goalie Anthony Borelli in the third period, firing 17 shots and scoring on two power plays.
Jarrett Burton scored both goals for Clarkson, his first coming at 5:49 of the third with Ben Sexton and Pat Megannety assisting. Sexton also assisted on Burtons goal at 16:41.
I thought (Borelli) was a major difference in the series, Jones said. Friday night I thought we outplayed them. I thought we deserved a better fate and we were snakebitten scoring goals.
Jones pulled freshman goalie Greg Lewis after the second and let senior Cody Rosen close out the game.

The Childrens Home of Jefferson County has appointed psychiatrist Robert M. Woznicki as medical director of the Community Clinic of Jefferson County, effective in mid-July.
Dr. Woznicki will be the first full-time psychiatrist the clinic has had on staff since the Childrens Home opened it in 2011.
Weve always intended to have a full-time psychiatrist on staff; it was always the intent from day one, said Barbara J. Peck, Childrens Home administration services director. It was definitely a process and took a while. Theres no pool to draw in locally, so you have to draw from outside.
The Childrens Home had an outside recruiting agency find Dr. Woznicki, she said.
Were very excited, and he is as well, Mrs. Peck said. Hell be a good fit.
Since 2007, Dr. Woznicki has been involved with a state Office of Mental Health comprehensive recovery-oriented program for people with severe and persistent mental illness. He ran a private practice on Long Island and was an attending physician at three hospitals on or near Long Island.
He received his medical doctorate from Jagiellonian University, Nicholaus Copernicus Academy of Medicine, Krakow, Poland, in 1985. He completed his psychiatry residency in 1989 at Stony Brook University, and in 1990 completed a psychosomatic medicine fellowship program at Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston.
Dr. Woznicki is board-certified and licensed in New York state.
Until the summer, a part-time psychiatrist will oversee the medical director obligations. Other staff includes two half-time nurse practitioners, one full-time nurse practitioner and nine counselors/therapists. Mrs. Peck said it is unclear at this time whether the clinic will continue with a part-time or temporary psychiatrist in addition to Dr. Woznicki.
The 5,100-square-foot Community Clinic is at 167 Polk St., Suite 300.

|A Carbon County resident figures his taxes on a financial calculator. Many U.S. residents will receive an economic stimulus package this year for simply filing a tax return. The funds will be sent out automatically by the IRS.
With the promise of an economic stimulus payment from the federal government and changes to the Utah tax system as well, Carbon County residents have the opportunity to make use of the vast amount of information available before the April 15 tax filing deadline.
One change taking effect for 2007 is local residents may elect to pay individual income taxes under a flat calculation or under the traditional multi-rate method.
On the state's 2007 Utah individual income returns, filers calculate the tax using both methods and pays the lesser of the two, according to the Utah Tax Commission.
The commission reports that taxpayers should know that the flat-tax option calculated on the 2007 return is not the same single rate system in effect beginning in 2008.
For local residents, changes of federal returns include claiming the child and dependent care credit.
"If you paid someone to care for a child under age 13 or a qualifying spouse or dependent so you could work or look for work, you may be able to reduce your tax by claiming the credit on your federal income tax return," explained the Internal Revenue Service.
To qualify for the federal credit, a taxpayer's spouse, children age 13 or older and dependents must be physically or mentally incapable of self-care.
The IRS also indicated that, to claim the credit, a taxpayer must meet certain conditions including:
Income, residents must have earned income from wages, salaries or tips.
The payments for care cannot be paid to an individual being claimed as a dependent on the same return.
The filing status must be single, married filing jointly, head of household or filing widower with a dependent.
The care must have been provided for one or more qualifying persons.
The qualifying person must have lived with the filer for more than half of 2007.
Following tax season and starting in May, the treasury will begin sending economic stimulus payments to more than 130 million individuals.
The stimulus payments will go on through the spring and summer, according to the IRS.
The service reports that the vast majority of Americans who qualify for an economic stimulus payment will not have to do anything other than file their 2007 individual income tax return to receive their payment this year.
Taxpayers will not have to complete applications, file any extra forms or call the IRS to request the payment, which is automatic.
The IRS will determine eligibility, figure the amount and issue the payment.
The IRS will use the 2007 tax return to determine eligibility and calculate the basic amount of the payment.
In most cases, the payment will equal the amount of tax liability on the return with a maximum amount of $600 for individuals, $1,200 for couples filing jointly and a minimum of $300 for individuals.
"Even those who have little or no tax liability may qualify for a minimum payment of $300 if their tax return reflects $3,000 or more," indicates the IRS website. "However, supplemental security income (SSI) does not count as qualifying income for the stimulus package."
Additionally, low income workers who have earned income above $3,000 but do not have a regular filing requirement must file a 2007 tax return to receive the minimum stimulus payment.
Similarly, Social Security recipients, certain railroad retirees and those who receive some types of veteran's benefits must also file a return to receive the package.
The IRS has placed several limitations on who may be eligible for the stimulus.
Residents must have valid Social Security numbers, including people who file using an individual taxpayer identification numbers, adoption identification numbers or any other identification numbers issued by the IRSt.
Both individuals listed on the married joint federal income tax return must have valid Social Security numbers to qualify for the payment.
Eligibility for the stimulus is subject to a maximum income limits, according to federal officials.
The payment including the basic amount and the amount for qualifying children, will be reduced by five percent of the amount of income in excess of $75,000 for individuals and $150,000 for those with a married filling jointly status.
Individuals who pay no tax and who have less than $3,000 of qualifying income will not be eligible for the package either.
A full list of the eligibility and limitation statutes is available at www.irs.com. The full scope of state filing information is available from the Utah Tax Commission.

Dr. Podlone is a very skilled and knowledgeable Doctor. He takes the time to communicate effectively and he gets his diagnosis and treatment correct the first time.

Excellent doctor!!! Very easy to talk to, takes his time with you and does not make you feel rushed one bit! Soft spoken, gentle and compassionate. You can really tell he cares for you. Every problem I've had, he's resolved. He initially screened me for thyroid problems during my annual health exam and after an ultrasound found some nodules, he referred me to an endocrinologist who then did a biopsy which confirmed thyroid cancer. Dr. Podlone fully supported me on a second opinion and was with me the whole round. While in the hospital on the morning after my thyroid surgery, he surprised me with a visit saying he wanted to check in and see how I was doing....wow!!! He had just attended a meeting and was on his way out for his day off...now what doctor does that! He is just a wonderful doctor and is so well rounded in all respects. As busy as he is, he always makes the time for you and is very calming which is how a great doctor should be! I highly recommend him!!!

Podlone listens, making talking to him about problems easy. He seems to know the limits of his knowledge, referring me on more than one occasion to specialists when my problems seemed beyond his ability to diagnose. As the current Chief of Staff, his time is short, but he still sees patients to stay involved. I've recommended him to several friends, who also see him as their primary care physician.

Hey, I'm Jess! I'm a small-town Cali girl looking to spread a little sunshine wherever I go.
As the youngest of three kids and the only girl, I had to find my voice. Despite driving my brothers nuts, that voice carried me to broadcast. I'm a proud alumna of Baylor University and married my best friend in 2013. I am an avid sports enthusiast and like to fly my nerd flag with pride when it comes to jigsaw puzzles, crosswords and brain games. I like to pretend I'm a great singer, usually at the expense of my husband. Staying active is a priority for me, especially since I love food… like really, really love food… and dance parties in the car are a must.

McSweeney's Quarterly Concern Issue 13by Chris Ware
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
This issue is all comics. It is edited by Chris Ware (author of Jimmy Corrigan: Smartest Kid on Earth), and features so many artists to know and love: Lynda Berry, Mark Beyer, Chester Brown, Jeffrey Brown, Ivan Brunetti, Charles Burns, Malachi B. Cohen, Daniel Clowes, David Collier, Robert Crumb, Kim Deitch, Julie Douchet, Debbie Drechsler, Bud Fisher, Ira Glass, Glen David Gold, Milt Gross, Philip Guston, David Heatley, Gilbert Hernandez, Jaime Hernandez, Goerge Herriman, Ben Katchor, Kaz, Chip Kidd, John McLenan, Joe Matt, Richard McGuire, Mark Newgarden, Archer Prewitt, Gary Panter, Charles Schulz, Joe Sacco, Richard Sala, Tim Samuelson, Seth, Art Spiegelman, Adrian Tomine, Micheal Chabon, Rodolphe Topffer, John Updike, Chris Ware, and Jim Woodring.
"Guest-editing Dave Eggers's literary journal, Jimmy Corrigan cartoonist Ware has assembled a beautifully designed anthology of contemporary art comics, with a few vintage treats thrown in, including an excerpt from 'Obadiah Oldbuck' — an 1842 publication that's arguably the first American comic book — and a series of very rough sketches by Charles Schulz. A few pieces have recently been published elsewhere (including excerpts from Mark Beyer's loopy, design-heavy Amy and Jordan and Joe Sacco's comics essay on Sarajevo, The Fixer), but the book is a superb introduction to the best American cartoonists working today. Some of them, including Richard McGuire and Mark Newgarden, haven't published much since the heyday of RAW in the late 1980s and early '90s; others, like Lynda Barry and Jaime and Gilbert Hernandez, are prolific creators at the top of their form. As Ira Glass points out in his introduction, Ware seems to believe cartooning gets no respect at all, and his McSweeney's is a passionate defense of the medium. Ware has included work by artists with an impressively varied range of visual styles and narrative techniques. And Ware's own contribution is brilliant: the book's cover unfolds into a gigantic 'comics supplement' of his bitter little cartoons, with extra, tiny comic books by Ron Reg Jr. and John Porcellino tucked into its folds. (June)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"McSweeney's 13, a humane and passionate gathering of the medium's contemporary best, also casts an exacting and unblinking eye on its past." Dan Nadel, The Washington Post Book World
"[G]oes far beyond anything McSweeney's has ever done....Inside is a feast of work: beautifully wrought pages....In a hostile, uncaring world filled with senseless wrongs, McSweeney's No. 13 provides a moment of exquisite, gorgeous revenge." Michael Bierut, Design Observer
McSweeney's Quarterly Concern #13 is all comics. It is edited by Chris Ware (author of Jimmy Corrigan: Smartest Kid on Earth), and features so many artists to know and love: R. Crumb, Art Spiegelman, Daniel Clowes, Lynda Barry, Los Bros Hernandez, Adrian Tomine, Julie Doucet, and on and on. The issue also includes essays from Michael Chabon, Ira Glass, John Updike, Chip Kidd, and others. A hardcover, clothbound edition, this quarterly comes with an enormous dust jacket that does much more than guard against dust. This one makes our throats go tight.

I'm looking to buy a Skylight filter leave permanently attached to a lens for the primary purpose of protecting it. I don't really understand the difference between Skylight 1A and Skylight 1B filters. So, which of the two is the better choice for a general and always on filter?
The difference is that Skylight 1B has a slight pink tint, to add some warmth to the images.
If you have a digital camera and use automatic white balance, there will be no practical difference at all between the filters as the white balancing compensates for the color tint. I would choose 1A as it has no tint, so it affects the incoming light less.
The value of any UV filter for a dSLR is questionable. On the lens protection front, a filter that is broken, as noted, can scratch the lens, thus undoing any protection it may have offered in the first place. The other downside is that the filter can cause unexpected ghosting of light sources in your image as a result of reflection, something that will annoy the heck out of you.
In any case, cameras and lenses are not as delicate as some make them out to be. Photographers have been running around with these in everything ranging from extreme weather to extreme violence without destruction of their gear, so unless you're extraordinarily clumsy and likely to bounce your camera and lens off of hard surfaces on a regular basis, I wouldn't worry about it. Buy your filters for photographic effect, not protection.
1A is clearer than 1B, which will tint and add warmth.
Best filter to always have on is none.
I like to use cling wrap around my lenses, all the way round both objective lens and lens mount. Give it a couple of wraps and it keeps out weather and dust altogether and doesn't really degrade image quality as far as I can tell - believe it or not. I strongly recommend trying it.

The editorial also states that "the deal would not include ads from regional or local advertisers." It also says that the deal will be "limited to ads for durable and semidurable goods, including apparel and appliances, by national retailers with stores in the 30 or more states where Valassis operates.
So I don't know how this deal effects "our Sun Advocate."
I understand the papers dilemma, but its no different than others face in this country, or Carbon County for that matter.
The U.S. Postal Service is a government agency that has been around since the beginning of this country. It's roots go back to the U.S. Constitution. Is it a bloated and poor run agency that relies on government subsidies? Yes. Does it need to handle it's business better? Yes. Does it need to shut down offices and lay off workers? No! Not in this economy. It needs to survive and it's trying to do that buy acting like a private business and giving its biggest customers discounts. Mr. Shaw would agree that isn't a new thing, and I would venture to guess that he would also agree its a very "free market" move.
I see two things that motivate Mr. Shaw's attitude. First, the whole "Government shouldn't be in our lives as much as it is" train of thought and second, he is upset because he feels it will hurt the newspaper directly.
I also see him going over board. A common thread would be how coal mining has changed since the advent of the longwall technique of mining which made it easier to mine massive tonnage with a smaller work force. Also, when Reagan got into office in 1980 the first thing he did was make it easier for U.S. business to buy foreign coal. That was government meddling and it affected central eastern Utah coal mining greatly. And don't even get me started on the anti-union movement that gave birth to guys like Bob Murray. Many said, "Hey, the times....they are a changin" and I saw men like my father and uncles in the mines and the Rio Grand railroad lose their jobs.
I could say the same for the Sun Advocate. Online readership among news papers across the board is up, I know that and many newspapers have had to deal with that adjustment. I have a feeling that many of those readers who complain about the mail are older and don't have computers. Soon they will be gone and my guess is so will the Sun Advocate's mailing out paper editions.
Which leads back to the Post Office. I know people are not using mail near as much as the used to so that is a big problem for the USPS. Also the cost of fuel hurts. But, bottom line ......I guess I thought he went too far into "the sky is falling" mode and pretty much copied the National Newspaper of America's statement.
I read the Sun Advocate online. I don't get it mailed to me. I don't need local inserts. I'm 45 and most everything I do is online. I know its even more for folks younger than me. My advice would be to start charging a nominal fee for the online version make it easy to pay for.
Again, I really don't see how this will affect the paper in a major way. Yelling "the Government is on our backs" in Central Eastern Utah is like me yelling "How about those Cowboys" at one of my local gigs.

LOWELL - An armored truck took out a utility pole and rolled onto its side before bursting into flames in Lowell yesterday.
The Vermont State Police, the Lowell Fire Department, and other responders were called to this rollover Thursday morning.
State police say Eric Jones, 43, of Burlington, was driving this Loomis Armored Truck on Route 100 in Lowell when he lost control, went off the east side of the roadway and collided with a utility pole before coming to a rest on the passenger side of the vehicle.
The engine then burst into flames. The driver escaped.
The crash snapped the pole in two.
Jones was driving about 50 miles per hour. Company officials could not be reached as of press time.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Commodity markets, particularly gold and oil, have been clinging to hope that the U.S. government will strike a deal to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff, but starting to trade as if it won't.
Gold US:GCZ2 and oil US:CLF3 prices marked their third-straight losing session on Wednesday, in part due to uncertainty linked to the fiscal cliff, which refers to a combination of hundreds of billions in spending cuts and tax hikes that take effect at the start of the year if the nation's lawmakers can't reach a compromise.
"As we get closer and closer to the end of the year or, more importantly, when Congress goes home for the Christmas holiday, buyers in all markets will not commit to the market," said Tariq Zahir, managing member at Tyche Capital Advisors. "We are already starting to see that. But as we get closer, we feel shorts will start to put some money to work."
So as the wrangling in Washington wears on, so will the volatility in the commodities markets.
"When it looks like a deal will be reached, all markets react positively and when it looks like a deal will not be reached, the markets react negatively," said Bradford Cooke, chief executive officer and director of Endeavour Silver Corp. EXK, +4.02% That's because "slashing spending and raising taxes reduces economic activity … and pushes the U.S. economy into recession or even worse — deflation and depression."
But right now, there are many different variations on potential deals to avert the cliff.
They include a $4 trillion deficit reduction over 10 years, plus some reform to entitlement programs such as Social Security or Medicare, and an extension of the former President George W. Bush-era tax cuts and either preventing or spreading out the time period for cuts to defense and non-defense spending.There's also a proposed deal that would pursue tax reform and possibly entitlement reform in another six months.
But for commodity traders, the details aren't quite as important as simply finding out whether a deal is reached or not — and if there's a deal, whether it's a short-term or long-term fix.
A no-deal scenario isn't likely, while the chances for a complete resolution with far-reaching decisions about higher revenues and spending cuts, including cuts in entitlements, are slight, said Malcolm Gissen, co-manager of the Encompass Fund US:ENCPX
He expects to see a partial solution that will leave many issues unresolved. That can be viewed as a positive as the cliff would be avoided, he said, and would, in the short term, be good for the dollar and negative for gold.
Gold's safe-haven tendencies
Even so, for gold there's potential for price climbs under just about every fiscal-cliff scenario, depending on who you ask.
"The biggest impact the fiscal cliff issue has on gold is its effect on risk taking in the markets," said Brien Lundin, editor of Gold Newsletter. "When there's hope of a deal in the air, a 'risk on' sentiment takes hold that buoys the gold price."
"Conversely, when pessimism reigns supreme, speculators pull their horns and go to cash, which hurts gold on the margin," he said.
