Denver spent at least $431,500 on the Occupy Denver protest between early October and Nov. 13 since it began in Downtown in early October, Mayor Michael Hancock's spokeswoman Amber Miller said today.
The numbers represent total additional costs to the city for the demonstrations and do not include regular staffing expenses, which are accounted for within each department's budget.
From Sept. 13 to Nov. 20, the Occupy Denver related costs for Colorado State Patrol were $351,189 which includes overtime pay, regular time pay and logistical expenses, according to CSP spokesman Trooper Nate Reed.
That brings the total cost to taxpayers for the more than two months of Occupy Denver to $782,689.

Protesters have challenged the necessity of the security around them, including officers or troopers watching the Occupy site at all hours. But police say the monitoring is necessary because the protesters have tried to erect tents in the parks, in violation of state law or city ordinance, if left unwatched.

Newly elected officials in Cape Coral can put away their campaign slogans. It's time to cut the cake, pass the gavel and get down to city business.
The newly minted City Council will have a variety of issues to tackle in the coming months, many of which involve the fire department, from the fire services assessment to the fire union contract to the investigation into the fire chief's qualifications.
Among the first somewhat controversial issue to address, however, may concern the lease of city property to the South Florida Canoe Kayak Club, which is on the Dec. 2 agenda. ...

Reese Witherspoon Promotes Monsters vs. Aliens in Prada and Valentino
Which Reese Witherspoon Monsters vs. Aliens Look Is Most Fab?
by Fashion
Like us on Facebook
Reese Witherspoon has temporarily traded her jeans for pretty frocks to promote her latest 3-D flick, Monsters vs. Aliens. From Berlin to London to Madrid, the smiley actress mostly opted for knee-length dresses by the likes of Prada and Valentino. All of her choices are very Reese — ladylike, chic — but which look is most Fab?

These are all so BORING to me. I guess I'd go with the first ruffled look if I had to choose...really not excited by any of them though.
LolaSvelt 6 years
Her style is really, really dull. I picked the last one because she looked cute, but she also looked good in the Prada dress because it was different.

I like all of them except the Prada. Not into the big shoulders. I think my absolute favorite was the black or gray. I think they ARE the same dress. Just very classic and flattering.

More than eighty years old but still in its prime. The first Bergstrasse Vintners' Festival may have been held in Bensheim back in 1929, but it remains a firm favourite for all ages and among wine enthusiasts from the local area and beyond. South Hessen's biggest wine festival has a young, fresh and modern image – but it still retains its traditional charm.
Nordheim Food and Wine Festival, held beneath a canopy of chestnut trees, is a wine lover's delight. Visitors to the lavishly decorated marquee can sample a broad range of wines produced by Nordheim vintners and the DIVINO wine cooperative . Also featuring typical Franconian specialities and light international dishes, it is one of the highlights of the Franconian wine calendar.
The Ortenau vineyards showcase the full variety of their fine wines on the last weekend in September. The spacious setting of Offenburg market square, a host of music groups – some from neighbouring Alsace – a farmers market, barbecued food and speciality cheeses, tarte flambée and zwiebelkuchen make this a traditional wine festival with a cosmopolitan feel.
Strolling around the streets of Freiburg in a superbly atmospheric setting, visitors get to know the region and its people, enjoy the local specialities and feel inspired by the Badensian zest for life and wine. Stalls packed around Freiburg's famous landmark are full of traditional and regional specialities from wine cellar and kitchen.
A very special wine festival with a variety of stage shows, showbiz celebrities, cool live music, acrobatic displays by Europa-Park performers and the traditional barrel-tapping ceremony. Many award-winning regional wines are uncorked and poured in the charming setting of the historical Balthasar Palace garden in Europa-Park .
Wine and sekt from the Ahr region are the centrepieces in Ahrweiler market square, where more than 200 wines grown in vineyards from Altenahr to Heppingen are ready to be poured. This wine festival has been a firm fixture in the Ahr region for years. Its special atmosphere, excellent music and entertainment, and outstanding setting attract the crowds. It culminates in the coronation of the new Ahr wine queen.

Install IonCube Loader
ioncube loader
Wondering if you ever installed the ioncube loader in the LAMP stack? I'm hoping to do the same, any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!
Google is your friend...
I just googled "install ioncube loader debian wheezy" (because TurnKey Linux v13 is essentially Debian Wheezy under the hood) and plenty of the results look pretty promising:
Install Ioncube Loader For All PHP Modes (CLI, CGI, FCGI And FPM) On Debian Wheezy - on the well respected 'HowToForge' site.
This (the first result) at a glance looks like it should do the trick. It's a (relatively) recent article and appears to pretty much spell it out, although I note that it doesn't include installing some things (which may be necessary depending on exactly what you are trying to achieve e.g. php5-fpm, php5-cli). Having said that, what's needed should be fairly self explanatory and a simple 'apt-get install' should fix it. It may be necessary to tweak the version (and architecture) of the Ioncube Loader too (there is possibly a newer version now and you may be using a 32 bit server). Also note, if you can't work out the vi/vim text editor then replace 'vi' with 'nano' on the instructions (IMO nano is much more intuitive for the 'average Joe')
There are plenty of other promising looking results though and anything you don't understand should be easily resolved with a little more googling...
Good luck and post back and let us know how it goes... If you find something helpful, perhaps share it to help others...
Google, of course!
Of course! I should have started with some research. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I'll keep you posted on my progress.

If you're in search of the infamous monster, the Loch Ness Centre & Exhibition documents the fuzzy photographs, the unexplained sonar readings, and the sincere testimony of eyewitnesses. It's said that the loch's huge volume of water has a warming effect on the local weather, making the loch conducive to mirages in still, warm conditions—but you'll have to make up your own mind. Whether the bestia aquatilis lurks in the depths is more than ever in doubt since 1994, when the man who took one of the most convincing photos of Nessie confessed on his deathbed that it was a fake. From late spring to early fall you can also take hourly cruises of the loch.

In large scale silver recovery silver is plated out of recirculating fixer or bleach fix (blix) using sophisticated plating units that control the ampage precisely, too much current and the fixer is destroyed.
Colour processing:
On a smaller scale usually mixing the bleach fix (prints) with the fixer from films after colour processing and also the rinse/wash water is sufficient before passing the solutions through a device like the Silver Magnet units. This will remove most of the silver however the remainder should be removed by then passing the solutions through a Steel/Wire wool cartridge.
The Silver magnet should reduce the level of Silver to 10-15 ppm (very approx) with the cartridge as well to below 1ppm. With just a Silver Magnet then the spent solutions should be diluted by about 10 -20X to comply with the legal 1ppm discharge limits (most areas UK/EU/US).
Black & White processing:
With B&W fixer the Silver Magnet will work more efficiently even with undiluted fixer - which it's designed for.
It needs to be remembered that the small volumes used in home darkrooms are normally very heavily diluted by domestic water wastes and are of little or no concern to waste authorities, but you need to be aware of local regulations.

I got a new job!
After spending the last 4 years trudging along at FedEx Office (what used to be Kinkos) I received a call while on vacation from a print shop that I had applied to on Craigslist looking for a graphic designer. I got my degree back in '09 and had only been doing freelance work on the side while having my skills almost entirely wasted at FedEx. They would take advantage of my knowledge in a pinch, but all of their design services were farmed out to some place in India. It was really frustrating because I was basically just the middleman while someone else did all the work. It was also frustrating because the place was still technically retail, and some of the people we would deal with had ridiculous expectations and even worse treatment of myself and the staff.
I was able to put my two week notice in for the first time once I got the job, which felt amazing. I am in a much different environment now, as the place is a franchise and is much more of a commercial print shop with very little customer facing time for me as the designer. The owner does most of the front counter work and I only talk to customers if they need to consul with me. I'm only one of 3 people at the shop and the only one who has has responsibility over the graphics, so it's been awesome to go from being told that I can't work on graphics to being solely in charge of them. The best part...my job title actually matches my degree which should help out nicely in the future on my resume. The guy I'm replacing was there for 5 years and moved on to a much bigger company as their designer, so I see him as being a glimpse into my future.
I also love the set schedule. At FedEx, since we were a 24 hour store, my schedule was all over the place, and since I knew how to do everything, it was usually a swing shift from 4:30p to 12:30a shift, usually on the weekends...which as you can imagine takes away a lot of chances for a social life or any time spent with your significant other who works regular hours.
Now I work 8:30a-5:00p Monday through Friday, all the time. It's also really flexible in that if I am running late I can just make up for it on the back end and stay later. There's even the possibility that I can work from home if something where to come up where I couldn't make it in.
The only drawback has been the commute, as I went from a 3 mile trip to work during non peak times to a 22 mile commute during rush hour, both ways. Being on my motorcycle has helped a lot, being able to use the HOV lane and other methods which I dare not speak of to get through traffic faster. My main issue has been the cold, but seeing as I'm in California and the worst it's gotten is about 35F with zero snow and just a bit of ice, I can't complain. I simply bought some good cold weather gear and utilize a space heater at my desk to warm up.
I also don't have benefits, as they aren't offered but I was able to get on my wife's plan, which is even better than FedEx. I am going to have to roll my 401K over to an IRA or something, too, but in the long run that's not a deal breaker. Being able to come in, not have to deal with a uniform or a name tag, sit down at my desk every morning with a hot cup of coffee and just get to work has been great. A lot of the time it doesn't seem like work at all. I got to add some Santa hats to a photo of ducks for a Christmas card last week, and tomorrow when I go in I have an old 1950's arcade shooting gallery graphic to restore. Some of my tasks can be monotonous (setting business cards 18-up for press or changing prices on a deli menu) but I don't mind because I also get to do some really fun stuff as well.
Anyway, I wanted to try my hand at a good positive thread for a change where there's not really any chance of differing opinions. The only question I pose is what has been your best, most rewarding change of employment? For me this was a new feeling since all of my other new jobs have been out of necessity (I seem to have a knack for working for places that lay people off or go out of business) and this is the first that's actually in my field of study.

There have been plenty of amazing jobs since I moved to Hollywood and started working on TV shows for the various networks, but in terms of meaningful work I am actually proud of, my time in university admissions and recruitment easily tops all the other jobs I've done.

Re: I got a new job!
My most rewarding job change? N/A. The one job I put in my two week notice on was as a video game tester, I felt bad about it even though it was high school graduate level work (while I had my 4 year degree) and paid pretty poorly. It was pretty tedious, but it wasn't overall a bad work environment. But I got a "real" testing job at over double the pay. Besides the video game industry is well-known for shitty amounts of forced overtime, so if I did work my way up in that industry, it might not have been a good thing.
Anyway, other job changes were more of the getting downsized variety, so they didn't feel very rewarding at the time at least. General pattern has been 'less fun on the job but more money' for me.
Next time I change jobs will probably be the first time I really feel good about it, because I think I'm done working for anyone else. I feel like I've developed my skills to where I can get by as my own boss, and even if I can't, I can easily last at least 5 years off my savings if I really need to.

Re: I got a new job!
Can't really say what's been my best/worst job as for the last 25 years I've had the same one. Well, not exactly the same, of course. Promotions etc bring more responsibilities and all that, but I'm still a Limnologist and occasionally a forensic entomologist if they need a specialist for water insects. I love it. It's never boring and every day brings new surprises. In summer it's great to be out sampling. And I may drive in the National Park where ordinary humans are not even allowed to hike, heehee. In winter, sampling is less pleasant (ever put your hand in water that's close to freezing point? Don't - it hurts like hell) but there's a lot of lab work instead which admittedly is mostly boring but every now and then you find an interesting or very pretty species (or both, even!) LOL I guess it shows that I like my job
Only the paperwork gets worse every year. But to make up for it, I have the nicest colleagues you can imagine =) Called in sick with flu last week and upon my return today I found a big and two small chocolate santas on my desk, a snowman made of sugar and a note "welcome back!"
And today I get my new filing cabinet! And the sun shines for the first time in 3 weeks. Life is good

My most satisfying letter of resignation was when I quit my job working for Taco Bell corporate as Director of IT and went to work for myself full time as a Video Editor. It was very scary, not having a reliable paycheck and hustling now to earn a living.
More science, less fear.

Re: I got a new job!
My current job is easily my best ever - my title is web developer, which I'm just barely qualified for, but I'm in the world's smallest IT department in a private college that's smaller than my high school, so it's really casual and I get all the time I need to figure out whatever weird Sharepoint thing people want this week. I even got an award at our holiday potluck last week! (For being "always ready for anything".) We're switching our website over to Drupal next year, and I haven't used Drupal in about 5 years, so that should be fun.
Worst job was probably Dunkin' Donuts. I was a manager, but that meant a 4am-noon shift and going home covered in powdered sugar every day. Ugh.

And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.Colossians 3:17 NIV
Today we mourn and pray for our brothers and sisters in France—for those who lost loved ones in yesterday's terror attacks, and for the millions of French citizens who must now try to process this brutality.
What if the essence of the story of God can be understood, applied, and shared in just four small words: Of. Between. With. In.
Bible study is a process of discovery and that's one of the reasons it's exciting.
Difficult life experiences have a way of keeping a person from walking in freedom. How can a person redefine their life and release thoughts, feelings, and patterns that have dragged them down?

Genre: Action/Adventure
Rating: (PG-13)
User reviews on Three Musketeers (2011)
This film was really bad and i do not recommend seeing it in the theaters for the sake of your wallet and your brain cells. The movie was all about big appearances and a lot of special effects and beautiful costumes but it had no purpose, no context and overall it was a complete failure. I hope that there will be no sequels, unless a different director takes up the challange because Paul W.S. Anderson failed miserably. The film has absolutely no charm and on top of that the performances were pretty bad, it seemed that the cast gave up on this film and it was very much evident. Overall, the film was almost unwatchable and I really regret seeing it.
What a terrible horrible film this was, I wish i did not waste my time and my money on this mess of a film. I think that everybody who was involved with this film damaged their careers if not a lot then a little bit. The film is all glitter and no substance, all the special effects in the world can not make up for the fact that the director has no talent and i do not say that lightly. The acting was pretty terrible as well, it felt like the actors do not care at all about this film and i can understand why. Overall, do not waste your time and your brain cells on this horrible film.
Ugh. Just seeing the name Paul W.S. Anderson in the credits, I knew what I was in for. But not even that warning was enough to stop me from seeing this dreck. The Three Musketeers have been the subject of some excellent movies, but this isn't one of them.
Anderson is known for over-adrenalized action and video game movies, and brings his "style" to the classic story, which is tricked out to include a steampunk zeppelin. There's also bullet time acrobatic fighting. Note to filmmakers: The Matrix was the first time, and last time, this was cool, and that was back in 1999.
The casting is ridiculous as well, with Anderson's wife and constant collaborator playing the female lead, and Logan Lerman, an American in a French story, playing D'Artagnan like he's auditioning for a boy band. There's Oscar winnner Christoph Waltz, scoring a paycheck. It's a ridiculous exercise in how to turn a classic story into a total mess.
As a child I read all the books about the three musketeers and I have watched all the old films, I was very excited when I saw the previews for this film, however I was greatly disappointed. The film was not good at all and it made me angry that the makers of this film did such a poor job. Most of the scenes in the film were ridiculous and overdone. The film is all about dazzle but it does not engage the audience at all, I did not care about the single thing that was going on in this film, it is really sad to say that. Overall, I do not recommend seeing it in the theaters.
This is an action/adventure film about young D'Artagnan and three musketeers batteling a beautiful double agent, the film is directed by Paul W.S. Anderson and stars Logan Lerman, Matthew Macfadyen and Ray Stevenson. I did not like this film and I do not recommend seeing it in the theaters. I was so disappointed with this film, I really thought that it will be good but it was a complete disaster. The film is overblown and overdone in so many ridiculous ways that it is not even worth mentioning, it just shows once again that Hollywood is pretty desperate and sad.

They say California's bar exam is the toughest in the country. That may be, but cyberspace is vibrating with interesting West Coast news. California's board of bar trustees decided to shrink the juggernaut from three nerve-jarring days to two. The California Bar Exam will be Shortened.
Will that make the exam easier to pass? The Excess of Democracy blog says the new exam will likely comprise a morning of three 1-hour essays, an afternoon of two 1-hour essay questions, and an hour and a half of performance test, but they don't see the test's difficulty factors lessening.
Another blog, Above the Law predicts that the California board will alter or scale the scoring to continue the tradition of their stiff standards. But that same source postulates that the exam will, at least, become less toxic to candidates, maybe less expensive, and certainly a little less scarey.
The California Bar Exam will be shortened, with changes taking place for the July 2017 California bar exam.by

The Rapture of the Nerds: A tale of the singularity, posthumanity, and… (edition 2012)
by Cory Doctorow, Charles Stross
Work details
The Rapture of the Nerds by Cory Doctorow
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Doctorow, Cory and Charles Stross. Rapture of the Nerds. 2012. 349 pp. $24.99. Tor Books. 978-0-76532-910-3. Ages 14 & Up.
In this post-singularity world, much of the world's population has decided to upload their consciousness to the cloud. Huw Jones, a technophobic resident of Wales who spends his days throwing pots on earth, still choosing to be bound to his "meatsack" body, is asked to participate in Tech Jury Service and embarks on an adventure that leads him across what remains of the world, in the course of which he falls in love, swaps genders, is slaughtered by his mother and uploaded to the cloud, and must serve as an unwilling ambassador to an alien nation who is contemplating the preemptive destruction of earth. The book is heavily-tech ridden but sometimes hard-to-follow. The relationship with love interest Bonnie is particularly underdeveloped. For lovers of Sci-Fi and Doctorow's previous work, the story will be a hit, but it may be inaccessible to those unfamiliar with higher level technological concepts. Recommended. Ages 14 & Up.
I've read two of Cory Doctorow's other books, and I normally like his writing. But I just couldn't get through this one. He and coauthor Charles Strauss do technobabble in this one the way Tom Clancy used to go overboard on the weaponry techspeak in his books. Dense, dense, dense. And I didn't really care about any of the characters, which might have pulled me through it. Disappointing.
Brilliantly inventive, totally original and unique, technically breathtaking and never. ever boring. Also very funny. What more could you want in a science fiction book?
It was special.
Took me forever to read. Mostly due to changing jobs and schedules, but also just because it took a lot of effort to digest. Was really expecting a Doctorow book, but it felt a lot more like stross.
I'm not really sure I processed most of it, especially really the very end.
This crazy, almost phantasmagorical, novel seems to have been conceived as a vehicle for the unconstrained self-indulgence of its highly intelligent authors. Many of the ultra-intriguing conceptual ingredients -- tech singularity, transhumanism, mind uploading, conversion of stellar systems into Matryoshka brains, etc -- are the same as in Stross's _Accelerando_, but the story line is very different.

I'll tell you the moment I realized how great this game was: It was when I was thinking about the vehicle physics and it dawned on me that it wasn't that the driving was crappy, it was that each vehicle handled too realistically for the control scheme.
It's that textured.
In a lot of ways, it simply builds on the ideas of others. But Sleeping Dogs has a lot of virtues. Here are five of them.

Economic Fears Reignite Market Slump
Stocks Post Biggest Drop Since 1987 Crash as Retail Sales Fall, Commodities Sink and Investors Worry About Hedge Funds
Fears of a deep recession sparked the worst drop in the Dow Jones Industrial Average in 21 years, as retail sales tumbled, demand for commodities sank and bank earnings fell.
The latest data suggest the U.S. economy is poised to fall into its deepest recession since the early 1980s. That news, coupled with renewed signs of trouble in the all-important markets for credit, reignited the sell-off in stock markets, all but wiping out the huge gains that shares had made in Monday's rally.
The Dow dropped 733.08 points, or 7.9%, to 8577.91 as recession fears and continuing doubts about the world financial system's prospects shook investors. Wednesday's decline marked the Dow's largest percentage drop since October 1987 and the second-biggest point drop ever. The index is down 21% this month and almost 40% from its record close a year ago.
Other indexes plunged, too, including the Standard & Poor's 500 stock index, which fell 9.03%. Overall, investors lost about $1.1 trillion in U.S. stock-market value on Wednesday, the second day in history that they have lost more than $1 trillion in one day.
In Asia Thursday morning, markets were down sharply, including Tokyo's Nikkei Stock Average, off 9.7% in early trading.
In another sign of economic weakness, demand for the most important raw materials continued to slide, with oil and copper prices falling sharply.
With the big drop in stocks, many investors fled into safe-haven instruments like the two-year Treasury bond, which rose in price, sending its yield down to 1.6%, while the 10-year bond price rose slightly to yield 4%.
The stock market was unnerved late in the day by new fears of instability in the financial system, this time in the hedge-fund industry. Traders heard talk that hedge fund Citadel Investment Group, whose funds are down between 26% and 30% for the year, was facing margin calls. The rumors fed an already anxious market, where investors have grown worried that some big, highly debt-dependent hedge funds could fail, causing more market declines. Citadel said its financial situation remained strong.
Adding to the somber mood, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, in a speech at the Economic Club of New York, warned the economy faced tough prospects despite the $700 billion federal rescue plan aimed at bolstering the U.S. financial system.
"Stabilization of the financial markets is a critical first step, but even if they stabilize as we hope they will, broader economic recovery will not happen right away," Mr. Bernanke said. "Ultimately, the trajectory of economic activity beyond the next few quarters will depend greatly on the extent to which financial and credit markets return to more normal functioning."
Mr. Bernanke noted that the economy had been decelerating even before the September shock to financial markets. He ticked off a broadening list of troubles that now weigh on it: slower exports from a global slowdown, nagging declines in home prices, slower consumer spending and business investment, and the time that it will take for credit markets to unfreeze after the government's dramatic steps this week.
Mr. Bernanke subtly left open the possibility of interest-rate cuts in the weeks or months ahead, noting inflation pressures have receded as a result of falling commodities prices.
But it's far from clear how much effect further rate cuts would have. Investors have been demanding huge premiums -- known on Wall Street as spreads -- over benchmark interest rates to make loans to businesses and households. As long as these spreads remain large, the benefits of rate cuts are diminished. A big priority for now remains calming the fear that has swept through financial markets.
Evidence is mounting that the U.S. is likely to experience a far worse downturn than the 2001 or 1990-91 recessions. Job losses started at the beginning of this year but started deepening last month, even before the worst of the credit crisis struck. The degree of the declines is sapping consumer incomes after a decade showing few earnings gains for most Americans.
In Seattle, 25-year-old Web developer Scott Krager is curtailing his spending -- especially on eating out -- and now rarely pays full price for anything. Recently, when he needed to purchase new khaki pants after his older ones were ruined in the dryer, Mr. Krager visited a Kohl's department store for the first time and bought two pairs using a $5-off coupon.
"Overall, you can tell that it's not 2003 or 2004 anymore," said Mr. Krager. "It's the first time my generation has really felt the effect of any kind of pull back."
The Commerce Department said its broad gauge of retail sales dropped 1.2% last month, a much sharper decline than in July and August. The figures followed weak September sales reports last week by major retailers, and confirmed that the economy was softening before this month's market turmoil, suggesting deeper declines in the coming months. Consumer spending, which accounts for more than 70% of the U.S. economy, is likely to record declines in the third and fourth quarters of this year.
Retail sales slipped in almost every sector. Auto sales fell 3.8%, while furniture, electronics, clothing and food stores also declined.
The troubles are weighing heavily on the global economy. Weak prospects around the world are pushing commodity prices sharply lower, a sign that strong demand -- which led to huge price surges earlier this year -- has abated with the economic turmoil. Crude-oil prices tumbled $4.09, or 5.2%, to $74.54 a barrel, its lowest settlement price this year.
Meanwhile, the continuing turmoil in credit markets is likely to hit the banking sector hard in the coming months. J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. and Wells Fargo & Co., two of the nation's strongest banks, on Wednesday said their consumer operations are likely to worsen for months amid weaker performance of mortgages, credit cards and auto loans. J.P. Morgan, which is one of the nation's largest credit-card issuers, said charge-offs -- reflecting loans considered to be uncollectible -- represented 5% of its card portfolio compared with 3.64% in the third quarter of 2007. That's expected to grow to 6% in the beginning of next year and 7% by the end of 2009, the bank said.
The Federal Reserve's latest "beige book'' report, a summary of regional economic conditions, showed weakness across the nation into early October. Consumer spending declined, manufacturing activity dropped and several regions reported lower capital spending or reductions in capital spending plans "due to the high level of uncertainty about the economic outlook or concerns over the availability of credit." Among the few bright spots were agriculture and other natural resources, though drops in commodity prices since the reports were compiled could hurt those sectors.
Job losses, which started at the beginning of this year, are expected to worsen as businesses feel the credit pinch. The effects of the worsening economy were on display at retail outlets around the country.
After years of conspicuous consumption, many middle- and upper-income Americans are morphing into cautious shoppers. The change in mood could have a dramatic effect on consumer spending on everything from cars and travel to electronics, fashion and jewelry, especially heading toward the holiday season. That's a radical change from the 2001 economic slowdown when many people shopped to feel better.
In Chicago, Fanchon Simons, an avid 60-year-old shopper, says she couldn't bring herself to buy a $360 blouse that she tried on at a designer-clothing boutique last week. Ms. Simons says she hasn't bought much for herself in the past couple weeks -- and not because she can't afford it. Buying "is not that important to me right now because of the climate," she says. "Maybe it's a way to be in sympathy with the rest of the people...or maybe it's that I don't really need anything."
High-end consumers aren't the only ones pinching pennies or turning to window-shopping. Synetha Chambers, a 31-year-old single parent from Cedar Hill, Texas, who makes $25 an hour as a service representative for AT&T, says she has pared her grocery list to the necessities -- milk is a must, but she no longer buys soda and chips. "And I will be honest with you, Christmas is no longer a necessity in my household," Ms. Chambers says.
In recent weeks, a slew of forecasters have predicted that holiday spending this year is likely to be at the lowest level in nearly two decades. The National Retail Federation plans to release a survey Thursday reporting that U.S. consumers plan to spend an average of $832.36 on holiday-related shopping, up 1.9% from a year earlier. It is the lowest increase in planned consumer spending since the survey began in 2002. The survey was conducted Sept. 30 to Oct. 7.
Besides worrying about the economy, stock-market investors have two other immediate concerns. One is that credit markets may remain dysfunctional for weeks or even months, which would make the recession worse. The struggling credit market in particular is making it more difficult for many companies to raise the cash they need to run their operations.
In addition, investors are watching the earnings season, in particular what companies are saying about their outlook for the rest of the year. One test comes Thursday: Citigroup Inc. is reporting its latest quarterly results, and investors will be closely monitoring the health of its huge portfolios of consumer loans.

Rand slipsComment on this story
Johannesburg - South Africa's rand weakened against the dollar on Wednesday as a strike by 220,000 workers in the metals sector entered its third week and looked unlikely to be resolved soon.
The rand slipped 0.2 percent from its close in New York to 10.7300 at 07:55 SA time.
The local unit made modest gains against the US currency in the previous session buoyed by strong demand for government bonds, before retreating towards 10.75, a recent resistance level.
"Technically the rand is still within the longer term bull trend. However yesterday's move back below 10.6500 should delay the expected move to 10.96-11.00," Standard Bank dealer Warrick Butler said in market note.
On Tuesday employers in the metals and engineering sector withdrew their offer of a 10 percent annual wage increase after striking union NUMSA maintained its demand for increases of between 12 and 15 percent.
The strike has disrupted the supply of components to automobile makers, pushing Toyota, GM and Ford to halt production at their assembly plants.
In fixed income, government bonds were broadly flat with the paper due in 2015 and the paper maturing in 2026 both adding 1.5 basis points to yields of 6.67 percent and 8.27 percent respectively. - Reuters

They already towed our cars twice it's just stupid to have a parking permit they're just doing it to win more money. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone because our neighbors are so loud and the maintenance is horrible there's coucaraches and they haven't done anything about it. The playground for our kids is really small. They overcharge you for water, and other things.

I like this community. It is close to everything and the staff here are very friendly and helpful all the time. I couldn't log into my account and management helped me get it all done. They also make us an event every month where they give us food and snacks.

PLEASE READ THIS!!! I Am a Marine and I have had nothing but problems. When we first got here they put two family's in the same Apt. I didn't even find out about it through them. I called the electric and gas company to have it turned on for the Apt we were given and we were told that the day before another family had already activated the Apt though SDG&E. My parking space has been given away twice to new residents moving in. Because of that I had to park my vehicle in another Apartments parking place and risk being towed at the owners expense, I was given a 24 hour notification for a pest control treatment going on while I was a work. The procedure for that stated that all items had to be taken out of the closets and placed on the bed. All cabinets and drawers are to be emptied. All furniture must be placed into the middle of the room and be covered in a blanket or plastic. All pets must be removed during the treatment and two hours after. All can goods and food items must be covered and protected. Next problem. One Sunday the S.W.A.T. team arrived in the apartment complex and busted a Meth lab in one of the apartments downstairs, They used Flash Grenades and M4's to detain the criminals. The Final problem I have had in the past five months of being here is, the downstairs Apartment is being painted and refurbished for new tenants. My apartment is full of fumes and my wife is pregnant and having to breath these fumes in. I contacted maintenance of the issue 3 Hours ago and was told that the manager would be contacted and informed of the issue. The maintenance guy said I would be receiving a call soon from the manager. I HAVE NOT received call and i will be contacting the Better Business Bureau of my constant issues here. I recommend you do not reside in OCEANA APTS. their quality is UNSATISFACTORY for the money spent on rent. Thank You for reading

I've only lived here a few weeks, but I have no complaints. The management team has always been very professional. Since the first day I looked at the apts.

Really really bad. The only reason I didn;t give it ZERO stars is because they were willing to work with me on my rent a couple times when I was in a bind, and because I had a couple of cool neighbors, but seriously folks, if you are considering this place, I strongly forewarn you against. They did recently get taken over by new management, and a couple things improved(new windows, they are painting, and fumigation) but they have serious infestation problems with cockroaches, fleas, and termites littering problems, noise problems and safety problems. Not to mention the parking is terrible. I moved in with high expectations, and without having closely inspected the place, but I soon came to realize they just put shiny new paint and carpet over a supreme crap-hole. They didn't even do a good job of it. The paint began peeling quickly, and the cabinets were basically rotting apart from the inside and smelled nasty. The few good things about the place(the large closets, and storage) were trumped by all the negatives. I sincerely hope the new owners do something drastic.
