Ordos culture
The Ordos culture was a culture occupying a region centered on the Ordos Loop (modern Inner Mongolia, China) during the Bronze and early Iron Age from the 6th to 2nd centuries BCE. The Ordos culture is known for significant finds of Scythian art and is thought to represent the easternmost extension of Europoid Eurasian nomads, specifically the Scythians.[2] Under the Qin and Han dynasties, the area came under at least loose Chinese control. 6th to 2nd centuries BCE.
Equestrian nomads occupied the area previously settled by the Zhukaigou culture from the 6th to the 2nd century BCE, which appears to have been predominantly Mongoloid, as known from their skeletal remains and artifacts,[3]before being driven away by the Xiongnu. The Ordos culture is thought to have been the most eastern extension of Eurasian nomads who were Europoid or at least partly so.[4][5][6] At the time, it contained the best pasture lands on the Asian Steppe at this time.[7] The Ordos Plateau was covered by grass, bushes, and trees and was sufficiently watered by numerous rivers and streams to produce rich grazing lands. However, it has now mostly turned to the Ordos Desert through a combination of overgrazing and climatic change, with modern interventions by the government of China being especially harmful.
The Ordos are mainly known from their skeletal remains and artifacts. The Ordos culture of about 500 BCE to 100 CE is known for its "Ordos bronzes", blade weapons, finials for tent-poles, horse gear, and small plaques and fittings for clothes and horse harness, using animal style decoration with relationships both with the Scythian art of regions much further west, and also Chinese art. Its relationship with the Xiongnu is controversial; for some scholars they are the same and for others different.[8] Many buried metal artefacts have emerged on the surface of the land as a result of the progressive desertification of the region.[9]
According to Iaroslav Lebedynsky, they are thought to be the easternmost people of Scythian affinity to have settled here, just to the east of the better-known Yuezhi.[10] Because the people represented in archaeological finds tend to display Europoid features, also earlier noted by Otto J. Maenchen-Helfen,[1] Lededynsky suggests the Ordos culture had "a Scythian affinity".[11] Other scholars have associated it with the Yuezhi.[5] The weapons found in tombs throughout the steppes of the Ordos are very close to those of the Scythians, who known on the Asian Steppes as the Saka.[12]
The Ordos were in contact and often at war with the pre-Han and Han populations of the period. Their former territory is now located just north of the Great Wall of China and on the south bank of the northernmost hook of the Yellow River. The western neighbours of Ordos may have the Yuezhi, who, after being vanquished by the Xiongnu, migrated to South Asia to form the Kushan Empire.
The Ordos culture were also culturally related to another nomadic tribe to the east, the Donghu people (Chinese: 東胡), who shared a similar art but appear to have been Mongoloids.[13] They may also have been related to the Di (Chinese: 氐) of Chinese annals.
Appearance of the Xiongnu[edit]
In Chinese accounts, the Xiongnu first appear at Ordos in the Yi Zhou Shu and Classic of Mountains and Seas during the Warring States period before it was occupied by the states of Qin and Zhao. It is generally thought to be their homeland; however, when exactly they came to occupy the region is unclear and archaeological finds suggest it might have been much earlier than traditionally thought.[14]
As the Xiongnu expanded southward into Yuezhi territory around 160 BCE under Modun, the Yuezhi in turn defeated the Sakas and pushed them away at Issyk Kul. It is thought the Xiongnu also occupied the Ordos area during the same period, when they came in direct contact with the Chinese. From there, the Xiongnu conducted numerous devastating raids into Chinese territory (167, 158, 142, 129 BCE).[15]
The Han–Xiongnu War began with Emperor Wu of Han, and the Han colonized the area of the Ordos as the commandery of Shuofang in 127 BCE. Prior to this campaign, there were already earlier commanderies established by Qin and Zhao before they were overrun by the Xiongnu in 209 BCE.[16]

What is the inter-relationship between Housing, LBOs & Stock Buybacks?
Last month, I noted 6 reasons why rising yields were a threat to equity prices:
The M&A/LBO Put
Share buybacks
Consumer spending
As of late, we have seen the threat of two of these issues increase dramatically: The M&A/LBO Put and
Share buybacks are being pressured by the increasingly expensive credit.
Much of this is derived from the mess in Housing: As many of the ARM/liar loans in the Sub-prime and Alt-A mortgage group increase their default rates, the residential mortgae backed securities (RMBS) that were packaged into CDOs have begun to unravel (See WTF is going on in the ABX Markets?). All told, the many variations of these were a prime source of cheap financing. This was what has been driving private equity buying frenzy and many share buybacks. That financing source is rapidly fading.
How much is the credit drying up? According Merrill's Richard Bernstein:
"Bloomberg Radio reported this morning that the monthly issuance of Collateralized Debt Obligations (CDOs), or packages of debt instruments bundled together to form a "portfolio" of debt, dropped from $42 billion to $3 billion in the latest month. That 93% drop represents a significant tightening of liquidity that is starting to ripple throughout the credit markets. The fixed-income markets appear to be starting to understand that the days of free-flowing liquidity are likely to be behind us. Most credit spreads are widening."
See Bill Gross latest for further discussion of the great credit contraction of 2007.
Lastly, for those hoping this marks the bottom of the Housing derived credit crunch, according to the UK Telegraph, "some $2 trillion of subprime and 'Alt A' mortgage debt is falsely priced on the books of banks and funds worldwide."
And to imagine: Some tv pundits — cretins of the lowest order — actually have been insisting that the Housing market would have absolutely zero impact on credit, the economy, markets and retail. What a bunch of tools . . .
UPDATE July 25, 2007 10:47am
Both CNN/Money and Reuters are confirming what the WSJ reported this morning, that Chrysler's bankers could not sell the $12B in loans for the auto business and they are getting stuck with $10B of it with Daimler and Cerberus likely responsible for the balance.
The expectation is that the finance unit will eventually get done — but at terms that are considerably more attractive to investors. Bloomie is reporting that KKR was forced to accept much higher loan costs on the Alliance Boots deal.
Expect more term deals to falter like this in the near future . . .

I would like some of what Poole is smoking!!!!!
Poole Says Moderating Inflation Doesn't Need Quick Fed Response
By Anthony Massucci and Vivien Lou Chen
William Poole of the the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis July 24 (Bloomberg) — Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis President William Poole said he sees signs that inflation is "moderating just a bit" and suggested the central bank can afford to wait before lowering interest rates.
"Given that the real economy is doing quite well, there is certainly no reason to believe we have to quickly respond to signs of moderation in inflation," Poole said in response to questions from reporters following a speech in Wilmington, Delaware.
Poole, 70, voted with all other members of the Federal Open Market Committee last month to leave the benchmark lending rate at 5.25 percent. Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke last week told Congress that economic growth will pick up slightly next year and inflation will recede.
"There is no necessity to make any tradeoffs at this time," Poole said. "That clearly would be more difficult if the economy were to stall out."
In his speech to the Wilmington Club, Poole said the U.S. economy has "performed well" in the face of rising energy prices and inflation remains "contained."
"Consumers have reduced their consumption of more expensive energy," he said. "Yet they have been able to maintain strong overall demand for consumption goods."
Oil Futures
Crude oil futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange reached $76.13 on July 20, the highest intraday price for a front-month contract since Aug. 10. Prices are up 20 percent this year. A report tomorrow may show refineries operated at 91.6 percent of capacity, a 10-month high, according to a Bloomberg News survey.
"Although economists are a bit nervous about this situation, the U.S. economy has performed well despite the oil price increases," Poole said. "We are nervous because those of us of a certain age remember well how different the situation was in the 1970s."
The recent increases are "roughly comparable" in percentage terms to those in the 1970s that led to recession, Poole said. This time, though, "overall inflation has remained relatively contained" and "energy in the United States remains quite inexpensive" relative to the cost of other goods, he said.
"The impact has been real, but the magnitude small enough that price increases have not disrupted the normal processes of economic growth," the bank president said.
"There are certainly strains from the high price of energy," Poole said. "However, there is no energy crisis and households and firms are adjusting in a sensible way to price increases."
"In my judgment, markets will continue to handle energy problems well and the future for the U.S. economy is bright."
Subprime Mortgages
In reply to another question from reporters, Poole said he doesn't expect losses from defaults on subprime mortgages to spread beyond the real estate industry.
"The damage, I think, is going to remain primarily in the real estate sector," he said. "We do not have a bank involvement and therefore bank lending for the normal sort of economic projects is alive and well."
The bank president is a former economics professor at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. He joined the St. Louis Fed as its president in 1998.
To contact the reporters on this story: Vivien Lou Chen in San Francisco at firstname.lastname@example.com ; Anthony Massucci in Wilmington
Go Barry!
Does this have any implications for purchasers of high yield debt in the coming 6 months. I don't want to miss out since the 2002-2003 period when junk debt was a value play.
Truly, what is Poole smoking?
How would the St. Louis Fed know the severity of this yet undefined problem when the principals don't?
There isn't anyone that yet understands how deep this problem is, most especially the Fed. who would lie or jawbone it anyway.
So, what are we going to find after we drain the swamp?
The creature was really a Zombie all along.
…and how are those CPDO monsters doin' right about now? Anybody got the balls to double down?
Per an article in the UK Telegraph, Morgan Stanley points out that every equity market correction of 10% or more in the past 20 years was preceded by a widening of credit spreads.
A top banker told me a couple of years ago that if you added up all the accounting gains and losses from derivatives you'd end up with a positive value while we all know that derivatives are supposed to be a zero sum game.
The new FED is saying do not expect lower interest rate (it has accomplished silently an incredible task which commands great respect)
"Vox populi vow Dei" is the finance industry, where LBO's is the carrot stick (who cares if Chrisler is going to compete with an undervalued yen as long as Chrisler buy out is funded,has anyone read the Chrisler's engineering and business plan?, the same for KKR Boots?)Has someone stood up and explained that where Daimler has failed the new owners will succeed?
According to Moodys (via Bloomberg this morning), the biggest danger from the subprime mortgage issue is that it will be so easily overcome that the ease of overcoming may lead to over-confidence when we come to face more serious threats to the economy!!
The Fed does not care, and will not. They have been saying it out loud for quite awhile that risk is mis priced in the credit markets. What you see now is not the problem, but the solution to what they have been repeatedly asserting was the problem.
Enjoyed reading Bill Gross… OMG I can't live in a world where Ken Griffin (or Jim Cayne) doesn't work as hard as he does today!
all this and a morning buy program to get our gap up and then fade it back about halfway and then take it back up again.
This market has ADD is the worst way…..
With what is seeping through the cracks (it's not flowing)and we still get the morning push by the fools who continue to be in total and utter denial. Credit spreads?? nope…..foreclosures getting worse??….nope.
What happened to the earnings driven market??
We are just exchanging one bubble for another.
Derivatives aren't a zero-sum game any more than stocks are. Stocks are zero-sum only if you include the companies issuing the stocks. Derivatives are zero-sum only if you leave out the arbitrage trades. Arbitrage trades can either lose or make money on the derivatives side, so it is difficult to determine whether the pure derivatives trades have net losses or net gains. I would guess the arbitrage trades lose money on the derivatives more often than they make money on them.
great points, barry.
but the question remains, is credit really tight, or just merely tighter?
the buybacks are still going through, the LBOs are still going through; they're just on less favorable terms.
it'll be interesting to see if this does turn into an inflection point… but it's too early to tell.
good post.
As reported on CNBC:
"Cerberus Withdrawing $12 Billion Financing Deal for Automotive Portion of Chrysler Buyout"
Fun stuff
The only real problem is the over-leverage on some instruments isn't it?
Yen carry unwinding caused the drop yesterday after 3PM (due to BRL/JPY). Just now was the drop in the DAX, forcing EUR/JPY, which forces USD/JPY which in turn forces some desperate liquidation on the US markets.
Prices are in a role coaster by the VIX is not going much higher… why?
Oh really?…look past the headline.
This deal will be done….that's why the mkt's rebounding.
What happens when the Unions agree to more reasonable comp packages? The banks will be able to sell these commitments at much higher prices.
Emotional trading is unhealthy to one's portfolio performance. Fear is your friend.
Here's a great quote from Sentimentrader.com: "Since the bull market began in March 2003, the (sentiment) score has reached this kind of extreme 26 times, and the S&P 500 reacted positively the next day 70% of the time. The 8 times that it showed a negative return the next day, then the day following that was positive all 8 times by an even larger average return. Meaning that if the signal "fails" today and the S&P declines again, then it's an even higher-odds buy signal for tomorrow."
The Chrysler deal is a bellweather deal. If it falls through, Katie bar the door.
March 2003……hmmmmmmm I wonder what went on during that month???? and more importantly what was discontinued that month followed by who got jobs during that time frame as well.
you can talk statistics all you want however the underlying reason for said bull market is all too apparent once the "other" factors that you chose to ignore are thrown at it.
Yes MS, you're right…""other factors"…I didn't mention that Earnings have driven this bull market.
S&P EARNINGS have gone from $54.15 (2003) to $81.96 (2006) and is estimated to be north on $100 in 2007…lol
Earnings have not driven this bull market. It is all about cheap debt and a devalued dollar.
earnings…..yea there's a wonderful story. Don't you think the dollar collapsing has anything to do with that???? Especially in the face of the Bush Admin. wanting a "strong dollar" for the last three years???
The only winner in that scenario is profits however I will agree that they exist but in financial engineering terms only. They are not organic and have not been for quite some time.
Earnings…..nice try…
Where are those precious earnings now???
and while you're at it I really want to know how come international earnings (that you've offered up as a catalyst several times) do not seem to matter at YUM, HOG, and several other high profile stocks.
Hey, we agree to disagree! News flash!
Money market since '03 has been a very safe investment.
Sold my MERFX holdings in my 401(k) which I held purely based on credit expansion. I'm with Fred in expecting capex to improve due to tech productivity improvements, and I recently bought AKAM and CSCO. I am banking on organic growth and real earnings now.
RVBD is a great buy right here, TH…
Good luck.
agree to disagree??? no you're (as usual) backed into a corner with no way out and you just ignore the issue.
Just like the (several) other questions you can't or won't answer.
Typical and expected….
what impact is the tightening of credit have on some of the private equity buyouts that have yet to be finalized? I have a decent stake in alltel, should I be worried that the buyout may fall through?
slapshot (one of my alltime favorite movies-who own da chiefs????
the deals will still get done but at terms more favorable to the debt buyers. A few billion here or there won't stop it from happening however the repercussions of taking on that debt…well….we have some great examples of it in the last few weeks don't we??
specific examples need to be looked at pretty hard to see where the risk is placed, even that's hard to do with the entire debt market playing "hide the losses" so to speak.
Bottom line: the deals will go through but on much less borrowed $$ and at higher rates, this "may" kill deals but these bankers still want that Y/E bonus…..
Thanks Fred (re: RVBD) – I think I'll pick some up tomorrow before earnings but it looks like there's still lots of profit-taking currently.
Also you may be interested in RVSN:
there goes the move higher…
way too easy…
all news is good
if a credit crunch is coming, what asset class or sectors would benefit?
This from Kevin Depew at Minyanville:
"First, Chrysler (DCX) said this morning it is scrapping a planned sale of $12 billion of loans for its automotive business.
Chrysler was to use the financing to help fund its buyout by Cerberus Capital Management.
The company still intends to move ahead with a plan to raise $8 billion for its financing division… probably because the company has no choice.
Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co.'s banks, led by Deutsche Bank (DB) , failed to sell $10 billion of senior loans to fund the leveraged buyout of Alliance Boots, according to Bloomberg.
What does this mean?
In both cases, the financing plans were scrapped due to a lack of buyers.
They simply couldn't find anyone willing to offer credit for the terms they were seeking.
What do you call a situation where investment capital is increasingly difficult to obtain as banks and investors become more risk averse, perhaps wary of lending money to corporations and firms and consequently driving up the cost of debt products for borrowers?
Oh yeah, that's called a credit crunch."
It might be a good time to reflect on the consequences of a credit squeeze. Here are some possibilities: 1) reduced share buybacks – earnings will not be increased by the expediency of borrowing to reduce shares. 2) A decline in buy outs – buy out expectations won't be a factor in stock prices.
Seeing that the past few months increases in the markets have been driven almost entirely by buybacks and buyout speculation, it is hard to imagine a continued runup on nothing but earnings power. Especially when you realize that the entire scheme is contingent upon debt financing additional debt: Mr. Ponzi, meet Mr. Reality.
Interesting this was 8 months ago…. And now things seem to be really going down the toilet.. Unless the reserve gives us a quick and painfull recession with some tight fiscal discipline we will prob get a Depression .

A couple of years ago I came across the Healing Codes and wanted to give them a try, but didn't want to spend the amount of money being asked at that time without understanding more about the codes. I didn't get them and eventually forgot about them. That changed when I came across the Healing Codes in a downloadable version for a lot less money. (Other Healing Code Products also Available.) I bought the Codes and also the book, The Healing Code, which was published in March of 2010.
After reading the book, I now consider it to be a "Must Read" for everyone. It contains a "universal code" that is kind of a one-size-fits-all healing code that everyone can use and get started with healing. As wonderful as that is, the book also gives the clearest and most complete explanation of what the source of all illness is and what is behind that source of any book that I am aware of. This book ranks within my top five self-help healing books.
If you have ever wondered what the source of all illness is... Read this book!
A healing code consists of four healing centers located on your neck and
face. You are taught to hold your hands in a certain position to
activate each center. This is done in a specific order or sequence
which is the "code".
In the case of The Healing Code there is just one code given that can be used by anyone to activate some degree of healing. The Healing Codes have more involved codes which are more powerful as they are more directed and specific to certain issues. They are quicker than The Healing Code alone.
Maybe you have held off on getting The Healing Codes (full version) for
the same reason I did. You might be wanting to know a little more about
what the codes are. If so, then start with the book and go from there. I believe you will find the book to be worth every penny you spend for it.
If you want to jump right in to the more directed Healing Codes then I would recommend going ahead and getting either the digital version or the full package version.
The book will give you many valuable insights into yourself and it will also give you the "universal healing code" that you can begin using right away. I recommend the book even for those who have The Healing Codes already.
A sample of the book is available by clicking here: The Healing Code Book - Sample Book PDF.
Either before, during, or immediately after reading the book you can go to the Heart Issues Finder to determine what heart issues you need to work on. After using "The Codes" for a weeks you can then go back and recheck again where you are with the Heart Issues Finder.

Former X Factor finalist Christopher Maloney has stripped completely naked for a new photoshoot.
The singer, who released his debut single last month, appears without a single item of clothing on his body in the annual Naked Issue for Gay Times.
Screengrabs of the shoot have been making their way around Twitter... and, unfortunately for poor Chris, it doesn't seem like there's a lot of love for it.
Christopher Maloney has shocked (WENN)
In one picture, the Liverpudlian's backside can be seen as he looks over his shoulder, and in another he is sat on a chair, masking his genitals with a raised leg.

Sean Summers, Albert Snyder's attorney, at his York office: "Obviously, it's not the decision (Snyder) wanted."
Albert Snyder, Matthew's father: "Matt probably wouldn't like the decision because he knows it affects all of his brothers and sisters in the military."
Margie Phelps, who argued Westboro's case in October before the Supreme Court: The court "made it clear that someone saying your feelings are hurt cannot trump the right for anybody to be in the public debate."
U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa.: "I am disappointed that the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled against the right of families of fallen troops to commemorate and grieve peacefully and privately. I supported the case filed by Albert Snyder through an amicus brief filed with the U.S. Supreme Court. In light of this ruling, I hope that protesters would change their minds and respect the brave men and women who sacrifice their lives to protect our freedom."
Justice Samuel Alito, who cast the lone dissenting opinion: "...our profound national commitment to free and open debate is not a license for the vicious verbal assault that occurred in this case."
Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt, whose predecessor Steve Six had filed an amicus brief in the case supporting Albert Snyder: The decision is "a disappointment for Kansans who have endured for so long the embarrassment brought upon our state by the shameful conduct of the Westboro Baptist Church."

REVIEW: Black Powder War by Naomi Novik
Dear Ms. Novik,
I've now found out that even a lesser Novik book is still pretty good. But this one should come with a warning to load up on lots of chocolate, a glass of wine or some Prozac before starting. Jaysus, there were a lot of depressing events to read and, for a while, every time I started a new chapter things just seemed to get worse for our intrepid British Aviators and their marvelous dragon, Temeraire.
The story starts off well enough in China were book two had ended with Temeraire and his crew, including his Captain Will Laurence, defeating the sinister plans of a Chinese prince to overthrow the throne. By doing so, they've made an implacable enemy of Lien, the Celestial dragon companion of the prince. Her rage extends past Laurence and Temeraire to include anything British. While waiting for favorable winds, Temeraire's dragon transport is badly damaged by fire soon followed by a letter instructing Laurence to proceed to Istanbul with all speed to collect three dragon eggs which the British government has bought from the Sultan. What follows is an interesting yet seemingly interminable trip via the old Silk Road for Temeraire and his crew as they race to get the eggs before any can hatch.
There's some fun as they run into a herd of feral dragons who follow them, and make nuisances of themselves, to the Sultan's palace. Then things sort of bog down again during the (literally) Byzantine negotiations to get the eggs, find out what's gone wrong about getting the eggs, find the eggs and make off with them. Then, just when things get moving again, Temeraire and crew arrive just in time to be conscripted into the Prussian Army as it readies itself to face Napoleon. More bogging down (at times again, literally). And waiting….and a few fights which go badly, then waiting and things going still worse for those who are trying to rein in the Corsican. Then at last some more fun when one of the eggs is ready to hatch. Then, oh help us, more things going badly and the end in sight for our boys before you pull it out at the end.
I was delighted to read more about the fabulous Temeraire and loved the bond of emotion between he and Laurence. I enjoyed the way you snatched victory from the jaws of defeat (kind of like a dragon grabbing his next meal) in the final few pages. The firebreathing Kaziliks are a nice addition to the growing list of dragon breeds in the stories, though I wonder if they're all as bloodthirsty as
I think you did a marvelous job of inserting dragons into the Napoleonic battles, Laurence's sense of duty and honor are never more evident and as I said, the way you ended the story was inspired yet, it does drag somewhat. Not enough to go lower than a B- but it's not what I'd hoped for.

Reviews for Pumpkin-Shaped Cheese Ball
Sort By :
"Great flavor. After initial taste, I thought cheese ball would be spicy but the flavors settled after refrigeration. Will do again next year."
"One of the best cheese balls that I have had. Nice nip with the cayenne, but not too much. Always asked for the recipe when I take it places. Like others don't do pumpkin shape and I rolls in crushed pecans"
"Great recipe. Made it for my husband's Halloween Birthday dinner. I added orangepaste food coloring to make it more orange in color.Will definitely make it again and again."
"Loved the zippy recipe and the cute pumpkin shape. I added a teaspoon of turmeric to give it a brighter orange color."
"This spread was excellent. I usually do the one with pineapple, but I wanted to give another one a try. My picky husband loved it. I didn't need a pumpkin, so I just made it into a ball. Like a other reviewer I coated the ball in crushed pecans. Served with Triscuits."

text: I've run into a n annoying issue with my Campy Centaur derailleur and chain. Over the winter I did a complete bike overhaul and all parts were stripped and cleaned, adjusted and lubed. But now I noticed a problem (i.e. noise in the rear). Namely, I adjusted the derailleur according to Campy specs and it shifts flawlessly. However on two (sometimes three) gears the chain gets very noisy. In the 3rd and 4th smallest cog the chain makes noise but in all other cogs it's quiet. I tried multiple times to readjust the whole thing but to no avail. I am now at the point of buying a new chain but I still think that the chain is fine. Does anyone have any ideas what could be going on here?

I strive for balance - JennerComment on this story
London - Kris Jenner has hit back at allegations that she "exploits" her children.
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star - who oversees the careers of her six children including daughters Kim, 32, Kourtney, 33, and Khloe Kardashian, 28, - admits she feels "guilty" and finds it difficult dividing her time equally between all of them but tries to strike a balance between her roles as their mother and manager.
She told US Weekly magazine: "I feel guilty all the time because I can't be everywhere at once. I feel like I want to be there for everybody, whoever needs me, I just worry about them all.
"One moment I'm talking to Khloe as her mom. Suddenly, she'll turn around and says... 'I'm your client and you didn't do this.' I get scolded or, you know, they're not happy about something and I have to fix it."
The 57-year-old reality TV star earns 10 percent of her daughter's pay cheques and thinks they are happier when she pushes them to work harder but insists she has never exploited them.
She said: "My girls are not pansies. But I think everyone needs direction. My family could have said, 'Are you out of your mind?' But everyone was excited!"
Kris also hit back at her critics for accusing her of sexualising her youngest daughters Kendall, 17, and Kylie Jenner, 15 - who are carving out careers in the modelling industry and recently launched their own clothing line - and branded the accusations "ridiculous".
She also insists her marriage to Bruce Jenner isn't on the rocks despite constant rumours he is preparing to file for divorce.
She said: "I've been divorced 17 times. I'm married to the best guy. Bruce lets these things go like water off a duck's back." - Bang Showbiz

Sochi Olympic silver medalist Gus Kenworthy gets stuck in Sochi trying to adopt stray dogs
SOCHI, Russia - Gus Kenworthy's party back in Colorado to celebrate his silver medal in men's slopestyle skiing is going to have to wait.
He's still waiting for Russia to let his dogs out.
The 22-year-old, who lives in Telluride, was scheduled to return home from Sochi on Monday, nearly a week after he was part of a historic sweep by the U.S. as slopestyle skiing made its Olympic debut.
Yet Kenworthy's medal in some ways took a backseat to his decision to adopt four puppies -- along with their mother -- he discovered near the media center at the base of the mountain that features the Rosa Khutor Extreme Park.
Kenworthy wasn't kidding. He is taking all five dogs back to the U.S. with him, but getting the paperwork done is taking some time.
A U.S. skiing official says Kenworthy had to push back his plans so the dogs can join him for the long trip halfway across the world back home.
The reaction to Kenworthy's decision to adopt the canine family has gotten perhaps more attention than the medal he claimed alongside gold medalist Joss Christensen and bronze medalist Nick Goepper.
Pop star Miley Cyrus tweeted at Kenworthy on Sunday, saying there were "4 reasons to follow @guskenworthy" while forwarding a picture of Kenworthy playing with his new pooches.
A forlorn picture of Kenworthy holding the dogs has been circulating on social media since Kenworthy tweeted it last Tuesday.
"Oh my glob [sic], look who I just found! :)," Kenworthy tweeted.
A day later he tweeted, "Also, for the people wondering, I've lined up kennels 4 the pups & made vaccination appointments. Doing all I can to bring them home w/ me!"
Kenworthy said family members back home are already lining up to adopt.
"I'll keep one for myself," he said.

A 25-year-old patient at Baptist Hospital died from meningococcal meningitis.
This type of meningitis is a bacterial version. Symptoms of meningococcal meningitis include nausea, vomiting, increased sensitivity to light, and confusion.
This meningitis is not the same type as last month's nationwide outbreak, which was fungal and traced to the New England Compounding Center.
Baptist Hospital released a statement Wednesday, saying: "We extend our deepest condolences to the patient's family. The patient died at Baptist Hospital, but due to patient privacy laws, we cannot provide specific information about treatment. We continue to work closely with the Miami-Dade County Health Department."

QUINCY, Ill. (KSDK)- The survivor of an atrocious Missouri crash was reunited with the mystery priest who appeared at the scene to pray with her in what she thought were her last moments to live.
Katie Lentz, a sophomore at Tulane University, was critically injured in a car accident in early August. Lentz was on her way to her summer internship and to attend church with her friends in Jefferson City, Mo. She was driving her Mercedes from her parent's home in Quincy Ill., when it collided with another vehicle near Center, Mo.
Lentz's vehicle was crushed into a ball of sheet metal that lay on the driver's side, according to Raymond Reed, fire chief of New London, Mo. For about 45 minutes, emergency workers and Reed's team tried to remove the sheet metal from around Lentz. Lentz appeared fine but her vital signs were failing, Reed said.
Reed was told by the evacuation team that Lentz's chances of coming out of the vehicle alive were grim.
At that point, Lentz had asked if someone would pray with her and a voice said, "I will."
That voice was that of the mystery priest who is now identified as Father Patrick Dowling. At the time of the crash, Dowling was thought to be an angel because of his sudden appearance then disappearance at the scene.
Dowling is a native of Kilkenny, Ireland. He has served at many parishes including diocese's mission parish, in Peru. Currently, he serves in prison ministry and to Spanish-speaking Catholics parish ministry. He traveled to Quincy to meet and talk with Lentz over the weekend for her 20th birthday.
Lentz says she's happy to meet Dowling and she is thankful he was there the day of the crash.

Draper homicide suspect remains jailed
A man accused of killing a Riverton teen remained behind bars Wednesday, despite not being charged with her killing more than a month later.
Salt Lake County jail officials said Wednesday that Daniel Robert Lehi Ferry, 31, of Sandy, had successfully served a 30-day sentence for traffic warrants, but remained in custody because his bail bond company had revoked a $10,000 bond on drug charges he's facing in an unrelated matter.
The felony drug charges were filed in November 2011. Court records show Ferry was out on bond when police allege he killed 15-year-old Anne Kasprzak.
As of Wednesday, Ferry and his co-defendant Veanuia Vehekite, 30, of Stansbury Park, had not been charged with the bloody slaying.
In a statement earlier this week, Draper police said they were not commenting on the homicide, but noted the investigation was ongoing.
Authorities found Anne's body on March 11 after a passer-by spotted blood and a shoe near a footbridge over the Jordan River near 12600 South in Draper.
The girl's face was so badly beaten that she was nearly unrecognizable and investigators had to use scars, clothing and cosmetic dentistry to identify her, according to search warrants. Anne had a fingernail that was pushed back and she appeared to have defensive wounds on her hands, the warrant shows. Investigators hope the girl got some of her killer's DNA on her hands during the struggle, the warrants state.
Anne's family said they last saw her alive the night of March 10, when she went to her bedroom to listen to music. At some point, she apparently sneaked out and her family reported her as a runaway.
A witness told police that Ferry made a sexual advance toward Anne, the warrants state. But when Anne laughed at him and told him, "No," the witness alleges that Ferry grabbed Anne and "smashed" her head into the wall, knocking her unconscious, the warrants state.
Police allege Ferry, Vehekite and a man identified in the warrant only as "L.J.," who has not been arrested, moved the girl into the garage, where they changed her clothes, placed her in a tarp and put her into a vehicle parked out front.
"A couple of hours later," the three returned to Ferry's home and "they all had blood on their clothing," the witness told police.
When the witness asked what happened to Anne, Ferry allegedly said "she went swimming," and that "she put up one hell of a fight," according to the warrants.

FRUITA, Colo. (KKCO) - It was the main link to carry fruit from Fruita to Grand Junction: railroad. One of the old-fashioned rail cars is still in use today, but it's not moving at all.
The old rail car and thousands of others played a big role in our area in the early 1900's, but for the last decade, this one has been just sitting around, housing offices.
City officials are now looking for some new options to get it rolling again.
Fruita Resident Yvonne Peterson says, "I just want to save it, I don't know what the future is going to bring, but we will just have to see".
It's carried a lot of fruit, and that'll leave a mark, especially on a structure more than 100 years old. It was one of a fleet that peddled fruit from Fruita to Grand Junction and beyond.
"It would zig zag through the orchards on the way to Grand Junction and pick up the apples and then it would go from there to the cities around the nation", said Steve Hight, of Fruita Historical Preservation Board.
It's a piece of our past, that movement brought to Fruita, though steam for the project ran out and it eventually derailed outside dinosaur journey where the car has sat housing offices for years.
"We've got the rail car and it's expensive to upkeep so the city council has opened up the field to the public for new proposals", said Clint Kinney, Fruita City Manager.
So far two proposals have been offered: one to turn it into a Fruita history museum, the other makes it into a beer garden.
City officials are weighing their options, and don't plan on closing the door on any ideas
"The city does own it, we know there is value to it, we've maintained it for years and there are no plans to tear it down at all", said Kinney.
Reassuring words to residents who believe preserving the past is vital to our future.
"From the stand point of the history of Fruita, I think it is a lovely pieces, but from a stand point in history in general it's very important , there aren't many rail cars like it still in existence", said Hight
The rail car has been leased to Colorado Discover Ability for the last 10 years.
City officials say they don't have a timetable set on when a proposal may be accepted or what will ultimately happen to the rail car.
The next city council meeting will be held august 27th with possible updates.

It was a no-brainer given geography, history and budgets for both teams.
With the dissolution of the four-team College Hockey America League, effective the end of last season, the Bemidji State Beavers in Minnesota were quickly granted admission by the Western Collegiate Hockey Association as that league's 11th team.
Shortly after Bemidji's move, the CCHA's Nebraska-Omaha Mavericks petitioned the WCHA for a transfer to become the 12th team.
Permission granted.
A combination of major factors brought the CHA demise: Findlay and Wayne State had dropped men's hockey; significant travel costs and loss of class time for Bemidji State (Minnesota), Niagara University (upstate New York), Robert Morris University (Pennsylvania), and Alabama-Huntsville; the undercurrent of dissatisfaction across the other leagues that one team in a four-team league automatically qualifies for the 16-team NCAA tournament by winning the two-day CHA tournament.
Niagara and Robert Morris were admitted to Atlantic Hockey to create a new 12-team alignment there.
Alabama-Huntsville plays an independent schedule this season.
"No question, both programs make us better," WCHA commissioner Bruce McLeod said. "The addition of Bemidji State and Nebraska-Omaha not only make us better, they also make us tougher. Bemidji is hockey country. Their entry into the WCHA and their new building are both generating a tremendous amount of enthusiasm.
"Nebraska-Omaha lies in a great metropolitan area that brings new interest to the WCHA. They are a newly-energized program and are committed to a quality program as evidenced by their hiring of Dean Blais and the future addition of a new on-campus facility that will seat nearly 8,000 fans."
Blais is no stranger to the college game. Before taking over at Nebraska last year, he served as assistant coach with the Columbus Blue Jackets.
From 1994-2004, he coached the North Dakota Fighting Sioux to five trips to the Frozen Four, including two scintillating come-from-behind wins for national championships in 1997 over BU and 2000 over BC.
His charges posted a 20-16-6 record last year in CCHA play.
They are off to a stellar start at 4-0 with back-to-back wins last weekend over Blais' alma mater, Minnesota, all good for a top-10 rank this week.
"We can pretty much bus everywhere between five and eight hours," Blais told NHL.com about the move. "Last year, we ended up flying for half of our series. Also, our fans are going to be able to get to more places easily and see us play.
"I think when you look at the top 10 teams in the country every year, there could be up to five WCHA teams, so we know that we're entering the toughest, most elite conference in the country. The players know that being in that league means that we've got to be committed to excellence."
The new season also brings emerging rivalries.
"Certainly Mankato, [also] being the Mavericks," Blais said, "because we've played them so much over the years and being only four hours up the road. I think also North Dakota because of my ties. Whether we're in that category and can compete with them on a year-to-year basis, we'll see. I really think down the road it will be Colorado College and Denver just because of the location -- being west. We're basically a straight shot down the interstate."
Ten-year Bemidji coach Tom Serratore's Beavers are a variety of interstate routes from the four other Minnesota-based teams, all in the WCHA.
Serratore's track record of five CHA titles, three league tournament titles, and four NCAA appearances, including the league's only Frozen Four entry in 2009, add up to a smooth transition to the historic league.
The Beavers are winless at 0-2 to begin the new season. Last weekend they opened their new arena -- the Bemidji Regional Event Center.
What's best about the move to the WCHA according to Serratore?
"The exposure we will get nationally as well as in our own state of Minnesota," he said. "I think North Dakota and all the Minnesota schools will be rivals because of proximity. We already have established rivalries with Minnesota State and Minnesota-Duluth because we have played them twice every year since 1999."
How will his Beavers react to their new league?
"I really can't tell early on because we have went about our business the same as we always have," he said. "The players do understand having to play a WCHA schedule for 28 games will be challenging. The thing about the WCHA is that you can play very good and lose. We have played quite a few WCHA games and the mistakes you make in those games are more magnified because of the high-end talent and depth of the WCHA teams."
The WCHA has won an NCAA-best 36 national titles since 1948. Bemidji and Nebraska now aspire to add to that total.
New WCHA "Final Five" Tournament format: The WCHA's historic "Final Five" will live on in name, but with the admission of Bemidji State and Nebraska-Omaha, the tournament will now become a six-team event.
All 12 teams will take part in the postseason with six first-round series played on campus sites.
The six series winners will advance to the Final Five in St. Paul at the Xcel Energy Center, with the top two remaining seeds getting a bye into Friday's semifinals. The 3 through 6 seeds will play in Thursday games to pare the field to four for the weekend.
The third-place game will be eliminated.
Former UMass-Lowell great passes away: Greg Charron died Monday night after a courageous battle with stomach cancer at the age of 42.
"UMass Lowell has lost a great friend and former student-athlete," UMass Lowell Athletic Director Dana Skinner said. "Craig was a hero on the ice and in every community in which he played or lived. He was such an inspiration to so many throughout his young life. His passing will be mourned by all who knew him. We share our deepest sympathies with his wife, Wendy, and their four courageous children."
Charron was a standout forward for the University of Lowell from 1986-90, serving as captain during his senior year. Upon his graduation, Charron was the second-leading scorer in the program's Division I history with 148 points on 64 goals and 84 assists in 142 career games. His accomplishments in a Chiefs' sweater still stand the test of time as he ranks 13th among all scorers in school history. During his sophomore season, ULowell appeared in its first ever Division I NCAA Tournament in 1988.
On Campus Clips: Robert Morris is off to a nation's best 4-0 start, matching Nebraska-Omaha's same slate. Led by a 3-1-4 scoring line from senior forward Carter Camper, the RedHawks beat and tied St. Cloud State on the road in a series featuring the nation's top two career scorers. Camper now has 135 career points while the Huskies' Garrett Roe was held to one assist and has 145 career points. … Jeff Jackson recorded his 300th career win as a Division I head coach with Notre Dame's 4-2 victory over Lake Superior State last Thursday. From 1990-96, Jackson won 182 games for the Lakers and since 2005 has added 119 more behind the Irish bench for a career mark of 301-118-47. … The six Ivy teams -- Cornell, Harvard, Dartmouth, Brown, Yale and Princeton -- begin play the last weekend of October. Ivy schools prohibit playing until the weekend entering November.

In college, the two teamed up with new friend Robert Tapert to shoot the horror short, "Within the Woods," which was used to show investors their filmic abilities while raising money for their first feature.
A Raimi film is punctuated by a refreshing mix of horror and slapstick comedy, but the most identifiable element of his style is his kinetic and experimental camerawork, from the creepy all-seeing POV shots to the wild use of wide angle lenses. His childhood love of filmmaking clearly coming in handy, Raimi's films are pure entertainment, rarely going beyond a good thrill ride (an intentional choice). Most people nowadays probably know him for his work on the Spiderman trilogy, but much before that came three films that truly revolutionized the horror and comedy genres — The Evil Dead trilogy. Each of them is wonderful in their own way, but "Evil Dead II" for its grim sense of humor and confined sense of space and story is my favorite. It's an unforgettable symphony of blood and laughter.
"Evil Dead II" opens with Ash (the best thing Bruce Campbell has ever done), a thick-chinned bumbling hero, riding out into the woods with his girlfriend to stay at a seemingly abandoned cabin in the woods.
Once in the cabin, Ash finds a tape recorder with an archaeologist reciting words from a book he's found, the Necronomicon (the book of the dead). The recorded recitation awakens something evil in the woods, and it comes for Ash's girlfriend. What follows is probably one of the strangest horror films you've ever seen; a gust-busting and gut-wrenching one-of-a-kind film, one that would go on to influence a new generation of filmmakers.
"Evil Dead II" owes much of its success to the virtuoso comedic performance by Bruce Campbell. From his legendary uttering of the word "groovy" whilst donning a chainsaw on his arm to his hilarious battle with his own severed hand, Campbell does wonders acting only against himself for most of the movie. Add onto that the inventive camerawork and vision of Sam Raimi, and you have one of the most enjoyable films of our generation.
From start to finish, this film will have you laughing and cringing at the same time. It's a not-so-serious assault on the senses in every way of the phrase.
After the Evil Dead trilogy, Raimi would go on to make a bizarre Western and the Spiderman films, but his greatest contribution to the cinema will always be the Evil Dead trilogy. Each one of them is a raw, rough-edged example of what happens when a filmmaker gives us what truly excites them. Spiderman will be rebooted again and again, and the Evil Dead will be remade, but time will have trouble erasing the indelible imprint the original Evil Dead films have left.

"On June 7 (1863), 1,500 Texans attacked a smaller force of black and white Union troops at Milliken's Bend, LA; it was the 1st important engagement in which black troops took part. "After it was over," a Union officer wrote, "many men were found dead with bayonet stabs, and others with their skulls broken open by butts of muskets." - p. 247-48, The Civil War, by Ward, Burns, (Ken) Burns(74=B2+U21+R18+N14+S19),
Google: President Lincoln decided to offer command of the Union Army to Colonel Lee on April 17, 1861. I'll look in my library. You're not questioning that Lee was offered command on April 18 at Blair House, correct?
Google: 74 generals Continental Army. "Revolutionary generals" is incorrect since that would include the British as well. I would be curious to see a list that does NOT have 74 generals.
Mary Todd Lincoln was at Mr. Lincoln's bedside right after he was pronounced dead. I'll change the wording in the op to reflect this.
Like I said, I'll follow the link re: the surrender of Johnston's army. If I need to change the wording to "surrender terms were first discussed on April 17th", I will.
You are quite WRONG about my not wanting to be historically accurate, but it was a good 'attack the messenger' ploy. I've presented some connect(74)ions in the op that was all by memory(74=M13+E5+M13+O+R18+Y25) and you have nitpicked a couple of minor wordings of facts, and have not mentioned once that I presented a shite-load of important data and Masonic(7,74) secrets* including GOD=7_4, 7/4=July 4th that you had never heard before! And you failed to acknowledge the main point(74=P16+O15+I9+N14+T20) of "4 score and 7 years ago, our fathers" referring to Genasis 16:16 (KJV). Had you ever heard that before?

This was a forgery or an April Fool joke,
or both. Obviously Kenneth Grant was not aware of its existence. Where did I come across this document?
It was sent to me by Robert Taylor in early 1999 who wrote:
Dear Peter,
Early in 1998 I received through the STARFIRE mailbox a computer disk accompanied by a letter, which read:
The document has recently come to light in peculiar circumstances that dictate the need for secrecy at the present time. It would be prudent, for the time being, not to mention the existence of this document to either Kenneth Grant or Michael Staley, as a premature disclosure may jeopardize an imminent legal action. For this reason, my identity must also remain secret until after the document's publication.
Best wishes,
A Friend
I assumed at the time that the legal action referred to was the never-ending one the Caliphate was engaged in over the Crowley copyright issue, and initially thought that the anonymous sender was either yourself or Antony Naylor! Although I did not mention receiving advance copies of the document to Kenneth [Grant] or Michael [Staley] (and it did not matter after it appeared on your site, anyway), I nevertheless made 3 copies onto disks which I had lying around in my drawer at work (at that time, I worked for a company called TMP Worldwide). I then sent these disks to some friends of mine that I thought would be interested. One of them informed me that they had already received a copy of the document, in the same anonymous fashion as I had. Obviously, I was not the only person to whom it had been sent, and there may have been more. The three people I have referred to have asked not to be identified, however, all admit to forwarding the document to friends of their own, although all insist that they did not send it to you. Clearly, as Michael informs me, the actual disk you received was one of the copies I had made, although it was not I who sent it to you. I cannot explain exactly how it came into your hands, as I simply do not know. I have never received anything further from the anonymous sender, and still do not know his/her identity. A month or so later, the document appeared on your site, and later we published it in Starfire. The rest, as they say, is history.
For your information, I counted Frank Letchford as a personal friend, having met him several times and corresponded over a number of years. Despite the fact that he did claim to have known Vernon Symonds, the owner of Netherwood, and that it is true that he and Kenneth Grant did not see eye-to-eye over Spare, I personally cannot believe that Frank would have been capable of anything with malicious intent. Furthermore, although I doubt he would have known about the documents appearance on your site, he was certainly aware of its appearence in Starfire, for he ordered (and insisted on paying for) a copy of that very issue.
I hope this clears up the question of my involvement in this matter. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to write.
Kind regards,
In August 2001, Taylor wrote:
I suppose it is possible that someone deliberately
used my name, but it seems from the material that Michael showed me that
some of the 'hidden' files are definitely from the company I used to
work for. I can only assume that either the disks have been copied and
recopied several times by several different people (there is no way of
telling how many) before you received them, or that they are the actual
original copies I made.

A little more than a year ago, we asked for your help in putting the Worldchanging book at the top of the Amazon.com charts, explaining that a big, optimistic book on serious subjects from a smaller publisher was unlikely to survive long enough to make a difference unless readers showed that the book had an audience.
Together we succeeded. We didn't just put it on the best-seller lists: over the last year, the book has really taken off, garnering hundreds of rave reviews, being adopted as a textbook in college classes, being translated into other languages (the French edition is already out) and winning awards for its content and design.
Now we need your help again. We need the book to do well again this holiday season in order to keep it on the shelves and in people's minds over the coming year.
Please consider giving Worldchanging as a holiday gift this year (or, if you don't yet have a copy, buying one for your own library). If you act soon, there's time to make sure it gets to friends and family in time for the holidays!
We think this book matters. Hundreds of people have taken the time to tell us that Worldchanging changed the way they think -- about the planet, about its problems, and about how to play a part in solving those problems. But don't just take our word for it, or theirs. Listen to some of what Al Gore has to say in his foreword:
Today, facing so many problems, many of us find it very difficult to envision a better future, much less the kind of solutions that might make such a future possible. That's why this book is so vitally important. Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century is a compendium of solutions, some little known but well proven, some innovative and new, some bold but as yet untried. This book not only shows what is already possible, but also helps all of us imagine what might be—in our own homes, in our communities, and for the planet as a whole. Taken together, these solutions present a picture of a future that is not dark or catastrophic, but one that is full of hope and within our grasp.
To build that future, we need a generation of everyday heroes, people who—whatever their walks of life—have the courage to think in fresh ways and to act to meet this planetary crisis head-on. This book belongs in the library of every person who aspires to be part of that generation.
We're still a tiny NGO. We don't have a publicity agent or a PR company or even a marketing department. Our publisher (while wonderful) is still a fraction of the size of the big publishing corporations and there are some real limits to what it can do. If this book is going to continue to find its readers, it'll do so in large part because the people who already know it's good help keep it successful.
So, please, help us keep this book front and center this holiday season by showing that it has strong support and buying it today on Amazon, Powell's, B + N or at your local independent bookstore.
You'll feel good, your loved ones will score a great (and ecologically sensitive) gift, and worldchanging ideas will continue to spread.

AMD adds new parts to A-series notebook APU range
AMD has been working to update many of its CPU and APU lines to bring them up to par with Intel counterparts. One of the lines of new products that AMD has updated recently is the A-Series notebook line of APUs.

Hotel's setting in Dubrovnik, Croatia is ideal for sightseeing
The Adriatic coast's awe-inspiring landscape spurred playwright George Bernard Shaw to declare: "Those who seek paradise on earth must come to Dubrovnik." Citrus groves and palm trees characterise the varied terrain, which benefits from the agreeable climate of the country's southern region. Our hotel's setting in Dubrovnik, Croatia affords easy access to the city centre, where medieval stone palaces and Renaissance-era parks have earned the locale its UNESCO World Heritage designation. An ancient defensive wall encircles this town of historical treasures and flowering gardens.
