Why This Is The Most Hated Bull Market Of All Time - Understanding The Folly Of Financial Engineering [View article]
Just a couple of thoughts on something I didn't see addressed. Anti-trust, competition, and small business as well as accountability in government.
Before we jump to your list for "strengthening the position of the working class and weakening the position of the capitalists" I think it might be wise to consider distributing the concentration of power both in the economy and the government.
I think a lot of the ideas you listed for changing positions are useless without addressing the concentration of power. I think there has been a purposeful movement towards attacking small business growth in this country over the last several decades that is rarely discussed. Anti-trust laws are rarely used nowdays and corporations grow larger and own larger %s of market share every year. Hard to get elected without their support so government ends up writing laws at the bidding of the corporations who have no interest in helping small business owners eat into their market share or political power.
What good does it do to change tax laws if the increase or changes in cash flow go into unaccountable government covers? What good does collective bargaining do if you only have 2 or 3 choices as a consumer and the cost of this gets passed on directly to the consumer?
Just wanted to add that thought, I think if you address this concentration of power then many of the issues you are seeing end of being addressed. It is a fundamental requirement for the vision of government and economy this country was founded on and it is no wonder that its erosion is causing the need for central control to keep the economy alive.Aug 7, 2014. 06:19 PM | 1 Like |Link to Comment

Complete and utter hogwash! Depression probably, causes and solutions not a chance.
You were absolutely correct regarding the fact that WWII was the ONLY thing that lifted the economy out of the 30s depression. Props for that because most that promote centralized economic control attempt to argue that it was FDRs spending campaign that did it (absolutely 100% incorrect).Jul 11, 2013. 02:35 PM | 1 Like |Link to Comment
The Inflation Hoax [View article]
While I understand your point and for my circumstances it is "So What" regarding the price of potatoes it is a matter of fortune and perspective there.
Today just as in 1980, the minimum wage worker can't afford gold. To millions of people in the US even those above minimum wage that sack of potatoes or gallon of gas represents a much bigger % of their income and it matters greatly. This impact although small on the individual household budget when multiplied by the masses can have big impacts throughout the economy, especially on small businesses which are the engine of job growth.Jun 24, 2013. 09:02 PM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment
The Inflation Hoax [View article]
"The U.S. dollar has lost 96% of its purchasing power over the last XYZ years." On the surface, this seems like a logical statement. Everyone knows that you could buy a candy bar 30 years ago for 5 cents, while that same candy bar today costs $1.00."
I agree with your argument that wages increasing offset and sometimes over compensate with the devaluation. However, I think the "goldbugs" statement is typically in the context of USD vs. gold as a store of value. Thus if you saved USD "XYZ" years ago and never invested them (and hadn't been earning money) you would feel the full uncompensated effect of the devaluation when you went to buy your candy bar.Jun 24, 2013. 04:37 PM | 1 Like |Link to Comment
No offense intended, but I wasn't really talking to you. I used Astron. Gains post to try and give some readers thought to concerns with supporting centralize control (of anything but specifically with the FED). Your posts just happen to help me highlight that danger even more.
I understand the temptation to think in terms of degrees rather than black or white but I think that is the very danger that I speak of. You can speak moderation but when crisis appear as they always do it boils down to a black and white choice, do you support empowering others to save you or do you accept that responsibility yourself.
That's my opinion, yours may be different and I respect that.Apr 27, 2013. 12:22 PM | 1 Like |Link to Comment
Thanks for the comment. The "demand" issue hadn't crossed my mind so thanks for bringing it up.
I didn't really intend to argue economic theory and I'm probably not educated enough in that area to offer a good counter argument. Your view on demand may very well have some merit.
My comment was intended to point out the big picture view or paradigm if you will. I believe no system is able to avoid ups and downs (risk), whether it be a free market or centrally controlled one. But I think you have to pick your poison and I think it is a black or white choice.
I'd like to believe that most people on SA support the fundamentals that the USA was built on including the concept of free markets. However, I believe people are easily misled to believe a slew of popularly accepted propaganda much of which taken at face value seems to be reasonable.
Are recessions/depressions risky and painful? Yes. Do we expect our leaders to act to lower risk? Yes. Is it preferable to lower risk whenever possible? Yes.
These are the simple foundations upon which the propaganda is built. They are difficult to argue directly because as humans we all want to avoid pain.
But you have to understand the inherent nature of human beings to be fallible and thus there is no human built system which is capable of operating at 100% efficiency, which is incorruptible, and which can reduce risk to zero. The choice then becomes which system is more efficient, is less corruptible, and eventually less risky? Some might argue to the contrary but I believe there is no real hybrid in between. Does government create the economy or does private industry, I believe private industry creates the economy and I think this can be supported by epic failures of various tyrannical regimes throughout the entire human history and contrasted with unprecedented wealth creation developed under the USA's free market system.
Thus my point. You are making a choice whether you know it or not. If avoiding pain is inevitable then you have to get beyond the obvious answer of yes we want to avoid it and ask what is the cost of avoiding it?
The cost in my opinion is freedom. And if you agree that pain (risk) is inevitable then you are trading a brief reprise from risk for your freedom. Free markets and centrally controlled ones are polar opposites. You can't have you cake and eat it too. You cannot be a supporter of free markets and not accept risk. If you are not willing to accept risk then you do this at the expense of opportunity and growth as well as your freedom.
That's probably more than enough talk but I just can't emphasize it enough. You are making a black and white choice whether you realize it or not. Empowering those promising to be able to reduce risk to zero is choosing a centrally control market over a free market. Before doing that I am only pointing out that you need to decide which system you believe is the better mouse trap because the cost of reducing risk is freedom and the price is high in my opinion.Apr 26, 2013. 12:28 PM | 5 Likes |Link to Comment

A couple of counter point to your thoughts here for your consideration.
First, you assume that the monetary and fiscal policies are not correlated. To test this I would question, do you believe the fiscal overspending could be achieved without the FED buying up nearly all the treasury debt thus keeping fiscal borrowing costs low? I'm not sure how you would support an argument of answering yes to that question so then I would argue that the FED action is not responsible but is actually irresponsible as an enabler or partner in over-spending.
"People are quick to point fingers at the FED for QE but in reality it kept our economy from the brink of depression."
First I would question the idea that it did accomplish keeping the US economy from depression. Unemployment remains extremely high especially when considering the losses in labor participation rate. Second, the GDP chart indicates we are moving into another recession and perhaps a depression.
Second, I would ask a two part question first is this really a role we want to empower the FED to do (prevent recessions/depressions) and was preventing a depression a good thing? I would argue NO that is not a role we want to empower the FED to do and NO preventing a depression was not a good thing.
I argue from this standpoint because I am a champion of "free" markets meaning I believe that private industry is the driver of both economic prosperity and economic freedom and that in order to achieve both in the most efficient manner that governments role should be minimized to creating regulations which promote private industry investment and growth and police corruption.
Mr. Stuber's article supports my argument in clearly pointing out "It is the private sector actors that must act in order to achieve the goals the Fed wants to achieve." In otherwords, the FED cannot control the economy because we operate in a free market economy (theorectically) which necessitates that private industry control growth.
My point is that when you support FED manipulation you are supporting the idea of centrally controlled economy and worse you are helping to empower them to control it by lending credibility that they are actually able to do so.
Business cycles are part of a normal free market economy. Interfering or attempting to artificially control them is impairing or introducing inefficiency into the free market ability to regulate itself. This type of empowerment or control is a source of great corruption.
If you agree with Mr. Stuber's article and realize the dangers of empowering someone to control the economy you begin to realize that all the FED has done has transfer wealth. This transfer has been from individuals and private industry (think more of small business) to mainly banks, very wealthy corporate exec's, and to politicians and/or their supporters (those benefiting from government spending).Apr 25, 2013. 04:17 PM | 13 Likes |Link to Comment
Summary Of My Post-CPI Thoughts [View article]
It wasn't just gold/silver that sold off, oil and copper were also down yesterday. Seemed to me like a deflationary signal?Apr 16, 2013. 02:40 PM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment
Understand your position there and I agree except on the timing. I'm saying that it will need to be an orchestrated event to the degree that the original buyers aren't going to flood the market with their holdings when there are no buyers out there.
Hell I'd be selling right now if I had any equities to sell, but I don't and that is the point. A lot of other "retail" investors don't either. Think this has to change before you see an equities fallout.Feb 4, 2013. 01:35 PM | 2 Likes |Link to Comment
Who has been buying equities higher since March of 2009? Someone is holding $3 trillion or so net long equities since then and they are going to have to sell them to someone. I assume it will be the banks cashing out and transferring the losses onto the public. If there isn't anyone to sell to then I don't see how the selloff can begin.Feb 4, 2013. 12:30 PM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment
I think the surprise will be how long it will continue. I also think that the high volume selloff will need to come from institutions as you are going to need buyers to enter the market in order for those purchasing on behalf of the Fed to exit. I think February is a little early for this, but in order to project this better perhaps some thought into what are the real constraints to continuing these policies?
Regarding the ethics, not sure if you saw the recent article on ZeroHedge "How the Fed's Latest QE is Just Another European Bailout", but this seems to clearly illustrate that we have been silently financing a bailout of Europe. I don't recall any "mandate" for this, but I don't watch CNBC so maybe I missed it.Feb 4, 2013. 11:13 AM | 2 Likes |Link to Comment
Employment - Further Detail [View article]
Yes, I agree the definition leaves quite a bit to be desired. "A general increase in the price of goods and services." Are services not simply wages? And I take "general" to mean, all prices equally and consistently.
I understand your example, but I would counter with what if a headhunter calls me and tells me company X is willing to hire me for 10% more. I don't really care what the official CPI is and neither will my current employer, all either one of us know is that the market through competition is driving up wage prices. If my employer will incur costs and have difficulty replacing me than he counters and gives me the raise FIRST and only after reflecting on the impact of this on his profits does he raise prices. This is inflation due to growth and my paradigm of this is that it is wage growth that physically transfers inflation into the economy.
That is my point in discussing it though. I think you can see some forms of inflation, something that isn't properly defined currently and you can mistake this for "general" inflation. I also think your understanding and analysis from a trading point of view are correct in that the trading mechanisms are pointing to an increase in some form of inflation.
However, I believe that attempting to predict what will happen with prices in the near to mid-term has to rely on what your philosophy is regarding monetary/fiscal policy. Do you believe that the current policies are going to generate real growth or not and if there is any question to whether they will do you believe these policies are sustainable?
Because you may be seeing signs in the technicals that "some form" of inflation is rising but I do not believe you are going to see true devaluation of cash until unemployment is back to growth rates and wages are increasing, allowing Joe Blow to bid up the price of IPhones and flat screen TV's as well as houses cause he know has a job and his wages are increasing. Further, I don't think the current monetary/fiscal policies are forever sustainable. Thus, there will be a time in the near future where if these policies will need to be reverted and without real growth deflation will occur as a result.
Important issue to decipher as the way you play these scenarios is completely different.Feb 4, 2013. 10:57 AM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment

Bloomberg News reports
President Barack Obama, calling current deficit spending "unsustainable," warned of skyrocketing interest rates for consumers if the U.S. continues to finance government by borrowing from other countries.
"We can't keep on just borrowing from China," Obama said at a town-hall meeting in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, outside Albuquerque. "We have to pay interest on that debt, and that means we are mortgaging our children's future with more and more debt."
Holders of U.S. debt will eventually "get tired" of buying it, causing interest rates on everything from auto loans to home mortgages to increase, Obama said. "It will have a dampening effect on our economy."
The president pledged to work with Congress to shore up entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare and said he was confident that the House and Senate would pass health-care overhaul bills by August.
"Most of what is driving us into debt is health care, so we have to drive down costs," he said. [...]
And whose bright idea was it to submit a $3.6 trillion FY2010 budget to Congress that would generate cumulative deficits of $9.3 trillion between 2010 and 2019, put the government's bailout program on steroids, and (secretly) abolish welfare reform all while pushing for national bankruptcy-inducing universal health care?
The president doth protest too much.

Dear Abby: My 23-year-old son, "Wayne," who is single, has a 3-year-old son. We didn't learn about the child until he was more than 1 year old, when Wayne was asked to take a paternity test. We have been able to form a good relationship with our grandson's mother and see him often. However, our son has shown no interest. He pays child support but has little interaction.
Wayne is an only child. I was never comfortable around or interested in young children, except for my own son. Could he have gotten this from me?
Friends and family have commented on Wayne's lack of interest in his son, and I'm tired of making excuses or telling people to mind their own business. Wayne says he feels resentment and doesn't want to be around this child. I've tried to explain that he'll regret it in years to come, but he won't listen.
My husband is appalled that our son would act this way, but he seems to forget that I was the one who did everything with Wayne. I did the Boy Scouts, movies, horses, trips, etc. He did almost nothing with Wayne and his friends. What can I do now?
-- Mom in Illinois
Dear Mom: Your son is displacing his anger at himself onto his son. He should have used birth control and he knows it. It's not fair, but Wayne does not appear to be the most mature of 23-year-olds.
Rather than blame yourself for the fact that he wants no involvement, consider that children usually model themselves after their same-gender parent.
A parenting class could fix this -- if your son is willing to take one.
Until then, continue to be the supportive and loving grandparents your grandson needs because, aside from his mother, it appears you're all the backup the little boy has.
Dear Abby: I recently moved into a lovely house located not far from a funeral home. From time to time, funeral processions pass by my house.
Is there a way for an outsider to quietly pay respects without making the people in the procession uncomfortable? I feel bad ignoring them and just going about my business. I don't wear a hat; if I did, I'd remove it. I'm also not Catholic, so the sign of the cross doesn't seem appropriate. Any ideas?
-- Respectful in New Jersey
Dear Respectful: While no gesture is required, if you happen to be outside when a funeral procession passes by, pause from what you're doing and place your right hand over your heart to acknowledge the mourners' grief. I'm sure your thoughtfulness will be appreciated.
Write Dear Abby at DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

This product came without any protective wrapping around the metal units (they were scratched when I opened the box) and even worse, without a set of instructions!
The set started arching when I installed it and after turning the lights off they both proceeded to flicker.
Do not buy this product...it is too cheap for its own good.

A good night's rest can do wonders for your health, and these days, there are a ton of devices that promise to help you improve the quality and quantity of your sleep simply by tracking it. However, many of these devices just shove data into your face without giving you any advice on how to use the numbers to change your habits — though sleep experts say when used properly, sleep trackers can be a great tool.
Why should you track your sleep? Doing so can not only help you stay awake during that midday meeting, but also help you avoid some serious health problems, says Beth Malow, chief of Vanderbilt University Medical Center's Division of Sleep Disorders. "When we don't get enough sleep, seven to eight hours every night, we feel worn down," she says. "Our brains don't function as effectively, we don't think as clearly and we tend to be more cranky or moody. But there are also a bunch studies that link not sleeping enough to diabetes and obesity because a poor night's sleep affects our metabolism."
[Read: Making the Most of Your Fitbit .]
The first step to making the most out of your sleep tracker is to understand that it's not perfect, says Brandy Roane, a behavioral sleep specialist with the University of North Texas Health Science Center. "They're only as good as the algorithms used," she says. "Don't marry yourself to the numbers it's giving you because several factors can affect them. Instead, use the numbers as a guide."
While some devices are only for tracking sleep, they don't necessarily do a better job than fitness trackers, which often have the function built in, says Roane, who recommends using either the Fitbit Flex or Jawbone UP.
Trackers typically overestimate the amount of time you sleep, Roane says, and a good rule of thumb is to subtract a half-hour to hour off the amount of time it says you slept. "You typically have to set the device when you go sleep and let it know when you wake up," she says. "We often spend time in bed that isn't sleeping. It can take anywhere from five to 15 minutes, or longer for some people, to fall asleep, which it doesn't take into account."
[See: Trouble Sleeping? Ask Yourself Why.]
The trackers also tend to exaggerate how often you wake up during the night. "What it's doing is using the movement of the device to determine if you're likely asleep or likely awake," Roane says. "If you have a bed partner, like a spouse or pet, if they move around near the device it might pick up that activity and think you're awake."
Once you understand the caveats of these devices, you can begin using the data they give you to make changes in your patterns, which starts by being more aware of your sleep habits, Malow says. "The devices give you as sense of how much sleep you get and how restless you are at night," she says. "Looking at the data can help you notice that every time you have coffee after 2 p.m. you are more restless that night."
[Read: How to Fall Asleep When It's 4 a.m. And You're Wide Awake.]
You should look at the data documenting the time you go to bed each night, Roane says, and try to establish a set bedtime every night. "If you notice there's a lot of variability in the times, try to set up a consistent time to go to sleep and wake up," she says. "Constantly varying the time can lead to 'social jet lag' and can make you feel like you've just traveled across multiple time zones."
You can also use the data to start a conversation with your doctor about your sleep habits, Malow says. "When people bring me their records, what I find is that it enables us to have a different kind of conversation," she says. "They're more engaged, they're more interested and that makes them more likely to make a change."
[Read: 10 Ways to Get More Sleep.]
However, there are some things your device can't tell you, which can also have an impact on the quality of your sleep. "They don't look at light levels or noise, which can be very disruptive," Roane says. "If you have ambient light from electronics or a TV, it can cause you to wake up frequently."
In addition to sleeping in a room free of ambient light, Roane recommends using your bed only for sleeping, not reading or eating, and not allowing pets to sleep with you — as hard as that may be. "Animals get up and move frequently during the night, which can cause you to wake up often," she says.
If you put all these tips and tricks together, Malow says, you'll feel better in no time. "The more you're aware of your sleep and the more you make a point to get the rest you need," she says, "the more benefits you'll see."

Chiefs' Spencer Ware: Expected to start Sunday
Spencer Ware is expected to start Sunday against the Bills even if Charcandrick West (hamstring) is active, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Knile Davis is expected to be active as well, but Ware is certainly in line for the most work Sunday. West was considered a long shot to play due to his injury, but he's reportedly going to be allowed to show if he's healthy enough during pregame warmups. Even with that, Ware appears to have the most upside.
Patriots' Jamie Collins: Won't play Sunday
Jamie Collins (illness) won't play Sunday night against the Broncos.
With Collins having returned to a limited practice Friday, the linebacker -- who last played in Week 8 -- is presumably targeting a return to action next Sunday against the Eagles.
Chiefs' Travis Kelce: Likely to play Sunday
Travis Kelce (ankle/groin) is expected to play Sunday against the Bills, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Kelce is officially listed as questionable after suffering a slight ankle sprain in practice Friday, but it's apparently not serious enough to hold him out Sunday. Kelce has failed to reach 50 receiving yards in three consecutive games, and he has just one touchdown since his two-score effort in Week 1.
Chiefs' Charcandrick West: Could be game-time decision
Charcandrick West (hamstring) could be a game-time decision Sunday against the Bills, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Reports earlier Sunday indicated that West would not play, but he is apparently improving rapidly in his recovery and will get a shot in pregame warmups to decide if he will play. Spencer Ware took the first-team reps in practice this week while West worked on his recovery, but the two may share touches if West is surprisingly active.
Cardinals' Michael Floyd: Expected to play Sunday
Michael Floyd (hamstring) is expected to play Sunday against the 49ers, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Floyd, who has scored in his last four games, missed last Sunday's game against the Bengals and was unable to practice fully this week due to the ailment. He's the least healthy of the Cardinals't three wideouts, though he's clearly a popular option for quarterback Carson Palmer, as evidenced be his back-to-back games with over 100 yards.
Dolphins' Jarvis Landry: Expected to play Sunday
Jarvis Landry (knee) is expected to play Sunday against the Jets, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Landry only put in a limited practice Thursday, while being held out Wednesday and Friday, but he apparently showed enough that he'll give it a go Sunday. The Jets' secondary has struggled in recent weeks, and while Landry wasn't terribly productive in the team's Week 4 matchup, he was still targeted 12 times, including five times in the red zone and twice inside the five-yard line, and added 122 return yards.
Dolphins' Rishard Matthews: Expected to face Jets
Rishard Matthews (illness) is expected to play Sunday against the Jets, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Matthews is officially listed as questionable, as is Jarvis Landry (knee), but both wideouts are expected to play against a Jets secondary that has struggled a bit in recent weeks.
Bryce Brown: Waived by the Seahawks
Bryce Brown was waived by the Seahawks on Saturday, ESPN's Adam Caplan reports.
Brown was waived in order to make room for Jeremy Lane, who was activated from the reserve PUP list Saturday. Brown was expected to add depth at the running back position after Marshawn Lynch underwent hernia surgery during the week, but it appears as if the Seahawks are comfortable relying on Thomas Rawls and Fred Jackson for the bulk of the work out of the backfield.
Seahawks' Jeremy Lane: Activated from PUP
Jeremy Lane was activated from the reserve PUP list Saturday, ESPN's Adam Caplan reports.
Lane tore his ACL and suffered a gruesome arm fracture during last year's Super Bowl -- injuries that combined to keep him off the Seattle Seahawks ' active roster until Saturday. The 25-year-old will likely take over as the nickel cornerback quickly, but he could become the starter opposite Richard Sherman in the coming weeks if Cary Williams continues to struggle.
Browns' Andrew Hawkins: Out Monday
Andrew Hawkins (concussion) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Ravens, Jeff Zrebiec of the Baltimore Sun reports.
Hawkins wasn't able to practice at all this week, so this decision isn't much of a surprise. Considering Taylor Gabriel (concussion) was also ruled out Saturday, Dwayne Bowe or Marlon Moore could see additional time on the field against a struggling Ravens' secondary.

The first monies appropriated by Congress for port security grants were in the

Two of the season's biggest Broadway shows are opening tonight — just not on Broadway. The new Mel Brooks musical, Young Frankenstein, is opening in Seattle, where it is having its pre-Broadway tryout. Meanwhile in Denver, Disney's The Little Mermaid opens this evening as well. Out-of-town tryouts are common for Broadway-bound musicals as a way to fine tune the production before getting within earshot of merciless New York theatergoers. Frankenstein and Mermaid will have their official Broadway openings in November and December, respectively.

for whatever reason - my home computer doesnt let me reply to existing posts. it only allows me to start a new topic.
Updown – your point is valid. It always needs to be considered – and the concept of not putting all your eggs in one basket is valid also.
That said – I would argue that if Soph et al felt this name were worth $3-4 (or much more ) per share – they would not have sold egle shares to pay taxes. Or viewed in the original context – they would be buyers in some form. Any form. I think reasonable people can disagree here. There is a chance we know much more within this week.
Since the market is closed Friday – can someone advise when does the window close for them to report? Seems they can file an extension if needed, but don't know how that works. Can anyone shine some light on that process? Thanks. Still early enough for another shock top. Mike.
each his own when investing. personally my #3 rule investing is diversification no matter how great a stock may appear. the best sailing stock can seriously dent a portfolio with one hiccup if weighted too high. too many folks evaluate unrealized wealth when cash after the fact is the only true measure. using cash to strike options has many negative aspects many don't understand until they actually do it ONCE.

Epic in scope, yet rich with minute details of character and setting, the
second book in Snyder's Glass series
is a delight. Opal's first-person viewpoint is fresh and often funny, and it keeps the reader engaged in her adventurous story.
Student glass magician Opal Cowan's recently discovered power -- she can steal another magician's abilities -- makes her a threat, as far as elders at the Citadel are concerned. Ordered to return, Opal ignores the council's edict, knowing that if she obeys, she's certain to be confined, perhaps indefinitely.
Instead, Opal travels with her friend Janco to the Moon Lands, hoping to find Ulrick, the man she loves. Ultimately unsuccessful, Opal returns to face her fate -- only to meet Kade, the Stormdancer she has been unable to forget, once more. His clan requires Opal's help, and she agrees to give it, but their path is a perilous one. The elders at the Citadel are not the only ones who wish to possess Opal and her talents. For whoever has control of Opal's glass messengers also controls the kingdom. (MIRA, Sep., 384 pp., $13.95)

Re: Reminders and Calendar not synced with iCloud in response to John in Paris
Hi. I have hit the same problem and have no idea when it happened either.
Having read your post and many others I thought I'd try the fix involving turning off reminders synchronisation. What I did was typed the reminders into my iphone, quit reminders on the mac, turn off synchronisation on the mac deleting all entries on mac, log into iCloud using safari, noticed all reminders present, rebooted mac, turned on synchronisation merging entries, opened reminders and all were there.
It may be the iPhone and safari bits were not needed and only the reboot, or it may be we have a different fault. Anyway thought I'd share what worked.
Roger J Nov 16, 2012 11:29 AM
Re: Reminders and Calendar not synced with iCloud in response to BikingPastor
I have developed the same problem. Calendar and Reminders no longer sync, nor can I enter any new items via iCloud.com. My iPhone and BusyCal on my MAC no longer sync. I was tempted to try turning sync off on my MAC but, like you, got the warning that it was deleting all data on my MAC. So I backed off.
Using my MAC, I signed onto my wife's iCloud account and experienced no problem; all works as it should.
I keep sending the error messages to Apple. So far in the last two days they have not responded.

Re: Reminders and Calendar not synced with iCloud in response to John in Paris
I came on here looking for an answer to the same problem but I've sinced solved it.
I had iCloud set as my default calendar on the phone and it worked fine. Then I found that Phone had stopped syncing the calendar. I checked in the settings and found that my default calendar had changed (I don't know why but possibly it was an update). I reset the default calendar to iCloud and now it's working fine again.

Somebody is going to overthink themself and toss away a chance to get a franchise quarterback named Cam Newton. Maybe it will be the Carolina Panthers, picking first in the NFL draft. Maybe it will be the Buffalo Bills, sitting there at No. 3. Or the eternally misguided Cincinnati Bengals at four, the Arizona Cardinals at five, the San Francisco 49ers at seven or the Tennessee Titans at eight.
One or more of those teams, all desperate for a quarterback, will ignore what they watched during Newton's remarkable, Heisman Trophy-winning season at Auburn, and screw themselves into the ground overthinking the process.
They will make too much of the off-field issues -- his burglary arrest as a college sophomore, the academic questions that attended his transfer from junior college to Auburn, the accusations that Newton's father, Cecil, sought money for his son's services.
Or they will be scared off by his recent comments, in which he told Sports Illustrated's Peter King, "I see myself not only as a football player, but as an entertainer and an icon.''
The fact is, Newton is here in Indianapolis, willing to do something most other top-rated quarterbacks are unwilling to do: work out for scouts. While most other prospects choose to work out at their schools under very controlled conditions, Newton has showed up here with nothing to hide and everything to prove.
As for the "icon'' quote, Newton was smart enough to address it in a written statement Saturday before taking questions.
"First and foremost, I understand that my obligation is to be the best possible football player that I can be. I know and believe that,'' Newton said. "The recent comments were made during the announcement of my new (UnderArmour) endorsement partnership.
"I was making the point that I want to be the best possible ambassador (for the company), just like I want to be the best possible ambassador for whatever team I am lucky enough to play for . . .''
OK, so it was prepared, staged, and it's fair to assume he was coached a little bit. And really, we could have lived without the multiple third-person references during his media session.
Still . . . he's got prototypical NFL size, he's got a laser rocket arm -- sorry, Peyton -- he's got great running ability and he's a winner. He won a junior college national title and a major-college national title.
It's understandable that NFL teams break into hives when it's time to draft a quarterback, especially high in the first round. It's a complete crapshoot. For every Manning, there's been a Jamarcus Russell. For every Matt Ryan, there's been an Alex Smith.
If there's any reasonable concern about Newton, it's this: He didn't play in a pro-style offense at Auburn.
"You ever read the book ("Outliers" by Malcolm Gladwell, which talks about high achievers practicing for) 10,000 hours?'' asked Mike Lombardi, an NFL Network analyst and former league executive. "I mean, look, Cam Newton is a very, very talented player and he's done some remarkable things in an offense that is unique. But I think he's going to have to prove to the NFL people that he's committed, he's willing to work hard, he's really not an icon yet, that he's going to have to take some time to develop his game and he's going to have to show people that he's willing to work hard and that there's an offense that he can fit around in and he can develop within. That's a difficult question to answer.
". . . Cam Newton's thrown what, 285 passes? In an offense that doesn't resemble anything in pro football. Now you say he's in a shotgun (in a spread offense), but the shotgun is completely different than the shotgun in our league. It's a completely different league.''
All of that is a concern, but I also remember the talk that Mark Sanchez played only one full college season at USC before being drafted. He has done pretty well (while noting that yes, he did play in a pro-style offense at USC).
"For me, I'm just going to continuously keep working on my craft,'' Newton said. "And that's to become the best quarterback possible during this transition. Obviously, everybody knows that Cam'' -- third-person alert -- "has been in a spread offense and I have been trying to work as much as possible on trying to be fluid in coming from under center, with the three-step game, the five-step, also the seven-step drop.''
Newton acknowledged he has had to address his off-field issues during team interviews but wouldn't get into specifics with the media.
"Sir, I'm going to let you know right now what I did in the past is in the past,'' he said. "My sole focus is to perform at this year's combine.''
Note to quarterback-hungry franchises: Don't overthink it. Newton is going to be a star, but he's going to take time. Wherever he goes, he likely will need a full season, at least, to learn the pro game -- like Carson Palmer or Vince Young. That's why Buffalo would be a perfect fit, with Ryan Fitzpatrick already in place as the starter.
Ten years from now, we'll think back to this combine, when Newton was the most scrutinized prospect in the building, and we'll wonder why.

Blunkett Is Trying to Deduct the Cost of B & B from Compensation for Wrongfully Convicted Prisoners. So Why Not Now Introduce the Right for Inmates to Buy Their Own Cells?
Thomas, Mark, New Statesman (1996)
When it comes to creative writing, you'd be hard pushed to find better exponents than the British police. Since the Birmingham Six and numerous other miscarriages of justice, where people were framed for crimes they didn't commit, it is sometimes difficult to know if a "confession" made to the police is testimony for the courts or a bid for the Booker Prize.
With such a pool of talent, it is only a matter of time before the new Terry Pratchett emerges from the thin blue line. But personally, I am hoping the Home Office will produce a new Franz Kafka and publish the story of how a normal young beetle wakes up one morning to find himself transformed into a giant David Blunkett.
Now, before the new Labour acolytes and ideological catamites have time to bleat "This is just so 1990s!", let me just point out that this is all far from over. For victims of miscarriages of justice the ordeal is still very much alive and, come 16 March, it will be back in the courts.
When the Birmingham Six were compensated for wrongful imprisonment, the details of their awards were worked out by the government-appointed independent assessor, Sir David Calcutt, now replaced by Lord Brennan. Calcutt insisted on two significant factors for the calculation. First, that a sliding scale of compensation should be introduced as, according to Calcutt, the first year in prison was the worst and the subsequent time spent inside became easier to bear.
Strangely enough, none of the victims of miscarriages of justice has ever said, "Once I knew where the showers were, life inside was a piece of piss." Neither has anyone said, "The 18th year of my wrongful imprisonment was such a breeze, I'll settle for a couple of book tokens and some bonus points on the Nectar card."
The second part of Calcutt's calculations was that the innocent men should have deducted from their compensation the costs incurred by the government for their food, clothes and lodgings, under the catchy title of "Saved Living Expenses". To bill these men with these charges is spiteful, ridiculous, unjust and entirely in keeping with the behaviour of Blunkett, who, in an uncharacteristic bout of liberalness, has waived the huge cost of police time, deliberately wasted by the men's intransigent and wilful innocence.
Vincent Hickey and his cousin Michael Hickey served 18 years after being wrongfully convicted of the murder of Carl Bridgewater, a newspaper delivery boy. …

Aurora Class Slipstream Prototype

Location: BorgCat you say? Nah...
Re: Aurora Class Slipstream Prototype
The bridge is now filled a lot more: bulkheads have been placed, extra consoles (including XI inspired window consoles) and the helm and XO (I think) console is in place as well. Also, I broke up the shape that was the pit with a platform in which the underside of the holographic projector rests, and deepened the pit itself a bit more: makes for a much more interesting view. Ideas about how (and IF) to place wall mounted consoles would be appreciated ^_^
I forgot to close the entrance to the bridge, so that light that's coming from the outside won't bethere on the final version. Just saying
SketchUp: not for the faint of heart!

Do You Think There's an Ideal Age For Happiness?
Do You Think There's an Ideal Age For Happiness?
I found the results of this study dubious, and then I read that Clairol Perfect 10 sponsored the research, asking 4,000 women between ages 25 and 65 at what age they were happiest.
The answer? 28, before visible aging occurs (wrinkles, gray hair — you know, the things Clairol has products for) and when sex is supposed to be best. (Wait, I thought sex was best for women in their 30s and 40s?) In addition to being happiest with their looks in their late 20s, the women surveyed said their careers and relationships were best in the 28 to 30 range.
A spokesperson for Clairol Perfect 10 said, "A little time put aside in hectic schedules for self-pampering and the odd beauty product can help keep you feeling young and looking your best." Riiiight.
What do you think — is there an ideal age for happiness?

Creation/Application Sponsored by
Stock prices along with fragrance sales took a nose dive following the deplorable acts of Al-Qaeda—and so did a healthy sense of creative risk. In a world where fear-based stories achieve front-page status more quickly than stories of hope and kindness, there is a need for the artistry and incomparable beauty of fine fragrance, right here, right now and more than ever. In the fall of 2006, perfume was demonized at airports as a potential tool of terrorism. (Ironically, and this detail bears attention, the cradle of fragrance history resides in the Middle East, where many of the world's finest raw materials are cultivated.) While the effects of this chapter in history were being written, Christophe Laudamiel's career at IFF was beginning to take flight.
In this article, Michelle Krell Kydd talks with Laudamiel about his latest project—a collection of fragrances inspired by Patrick Süskind's novel, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer. Laudamiel came to IFF in 2000 from Procter & Gamble, as a chemist/perfumer who migrated from functional to fine fragrance creation. In 2003, both he and perfumer Carlos Benaim were recognized at the ASP Perfumer's Choice Awards for their work on Ralph Lauren Polo Blue for Men, which had also won a FiFi Award that same year. Hard work continued to pay off in wins for Laudamiel, but something else was brewing. Laudamiel's fascination with Patrick Süskind's novel, Perfume, the Story of a Murderer, was inspiring late-night creation sessions, long after mods from big clients were tweaked and tuned, and the watchmen at IFF were doing their midnight rounds.
IFF has always been ahead of the curve when it comes to supporting and stimulating their perfumers' talents, and Laudamiel was an avid participant in the "Visionaire Scent" (2003) and "Visionaire Taste" (2005) projects. In addition, he was co-creator of "Iconosms," an exhibition with photographer L.E. Badessi. "Iconosms," which combined visuals with scent, made gallery appearances in Florida and New York, as well as Belgium. Laudamiel's side projects, along with a growing number of fine fragrance wins, were populating Google search pages like spring dandelions and fragrance bloggers were buzzing with respect and admiration for his work.
In 2005, Christophe Laudamiel and Christoph Hornetz of IFF, collectively known as the duo Les Christophs, completed their Perfume project. That same year, Constantin Film was wrapping up production of the film version of Perfume with German director Tom Tykwer (of Run Lola Run fame). The timing was right. IFF's Nicolas Mirzayantz, group president of fragrances, agreed to share the Les Christophs' project with Vera Strübi, president of Thierry Mugler Parfums. Mugler had ushered the uniquely gourmand Angel into the world in 1992, making this new project a great match.
