Charge on!
There's a striking lack of banking, hostpital, legal & insurance fees on this chart.
They forgot to add that massage parlors are now charging an extra $50 just to get your anus tickled. Fucking highway robbery...
Don't tell that to the Austrians!
Epic debate...Peter Schiff vs. John Mauldin
Here's one that'll hit home..
Probably an noticeable fraction of the GDP nowadays - airline bag check fees.
Schiff owned the bumbling fool.
Thanks for the link
Is it me, or is Mauldin talking out both sides of his ass?
There's a striking lack of banking, hostpital, legal & insurance fees on this chart.
Including those in the picture would have incurred representational modification fees, which are charged on a per pixel basis.
I'm not sure if this is off-topic or not -- since I don't know what the topic is....APMEX Reports Sales Spike on eBay Bullion Center February 25, 2013
Last Wednesday, with New York gold down over $40 per ounce, even long time gold bulls were advising caution before committing to further investment. Some precious metals dealers reported a flood of panic selling by anxious investors who were unloading physical coin and bar.
With everyone fearful of lower prices, exactly who was buying all that gold and silver from panicked investors?
Michael Haynes, CEO of APMEX, one of the countries largest precious metals dealers, said "As gold and silver prices continue to drop, long-term investors immediately reacted to the market movement. Recognizing that the precious metals were on sale and at a discount relative to the expected future values, buyers of physical bullion increased purchasing at the APMEX Bullion Center on eBay."
Michael Haynes explained further.
"This was the second largest selling day for the APMEX Bullion Center on eBay since inception about five months ago, beating the next highest selling day by more than 30%. As Gold and Silver prices fell, heavily influenced by the reaction of day traders to the minutes from the recent Federal Reserve Open Market Committee meeting, physical sales of both metals skyrocketed. Buyers of physical Gold and Silver have a moderate to long term view and concluded that with the price movements, the precious metals were on sale and at a discount relative to the expected future values. These investors in physical Gold and Silver apparently see the long term issues faced by the U.S. economy and seek some asset allocation into the non-correlated asset class of precious metals to protect and hedge their investments in paper assets like Stocks and Bonds."
According to APMEX, the top sellers on the Bullion Center are the 1 oz Silver American Eagle, the 1 oz Gold American Eagle, the 5 gram Statue of Liberty Credit Suisse Gold Bar and the 100 oz Royal Canadian Mint Silver Bar.
Every bull market has corrections which offer long term investors the opportunity to add to positions at bargain prices. The high volume of gold and silver purchases on the eBay Bullion Center indicates that mainstream buyers remain committed to precious metals as a method of wealth preservation.
Thanks Rocky. Real money is always THE topic.
Yeah, thanks, Rocky.
The rational people were selling while gold bugs maxed out their credit cards to buy more gold!
Soon you will see gold is the least productive asset there is. Gold, like a rock at the top of a hill, will come crashing down, and all you little gold bugs will scatter.
This may take awhile, as we have to get fear out of the market, and to do that we will need a recovery.
Since you are a Keynesian, 'rational' means to leverage debt well beyond earnings and revenue by way of unbacked IOU Fiat. Meanwhile 'irrational' sovereigns and CBs are accumulating what?
Right, moron.
sticking with the real money topic, today there was a govt. auction of gold coin from the stash of the Carson City "recluse" who died a while back. Govt. auctioned a portion of the stash so they could get their greedy paws on the inheritance tax owed. The only price that can be analysed is a lot of 620 canadian Maple Leafs that sold for 1.16 million. I believe the Maple leaf is a one ounce coin so the breakdown was $1,871.00 per ounce. I know that these coins were purchased years ago and there might be some collector dates but the auction was specifically for the "bullion coin" part of this fairly large stash and that collector coins would be auctioned at a later date. Quite the premium for the real deal.
And yes, I plan on scurrying away, with my gold, when the real crash occurs. Those without PMs will be the bugs that are squashed under the big rock.
Don't discount the provenance premium. Lots of collectors will want to have one of the "Samaszko hoard". There will be paperwork with the purchases that will look nice in a collector situation.
But I would have expected a higher premium than that. I'd say the results were less than expected, although I didn't read all the article.
the less productive the better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sure wouldn't want my savings to be fractionally lent out pepetuating a broken system.
would you now ,dr frugman? you there- frugfuk-brain working? fried on stimulas...
Can't say about APMEX, but Provident had the OPM 1 troy ounce bar for $9.99 over spot at the start of the dip, and then shortly raised it to $19.99 over spot [still there]. They don't release sales figures, but the bar is number one in the top twelve volume sellers on the site. I exclusivly purchaced these bars during the dip as they provided the best value. APMEX has higher shipping rates than Provident for ordinary buyers.
Who has pure gold for $19.99 over spot an ounce beside Provident?????
just think, people pay Obama $500,000 to kiss his ass!
it's a fair exchange, he kisses the other end of a few babies
Most of these are one off, specific to a small business. Consider Cable TV, Cell Phones. Landlines and other Telcom services. Auto repair (In order to get a replacement for a $2 part, you need to buy the entire sub-assembly, costing from $250 to $2K!). How about electronic payment services. It easier and cheaper for businesses to process electronic payments than deal with checks and cash, Yet they tack on processing fees (above the costs of electronic payment processing costs).
Right on.
I'm in Taiwan. When I pay my rent, I do so by electronic transfer. It costs me the equivalent of ten cents in US$ terms.
Back in the U.S., IIRC, the bank used to charge fifty cents per check, or twenty-five dollars for a "wire transfer". Those fees may be higher now (and probably are).
That doesn't even begin to touch on the scams that banks pull to rack up fees against customers, like TCF Bank (motto: "The Customer's Fucked!") mysteriously allowing an electronic transfer, even though when I signed up for the account I had explicitly prohibited electronic transfers, which triggered an overdraft, which triggered several hundred dollars in fees by the time the cascade was done.
Of course, the electronic transfer was fraudulent to begin with -- TCF was either hacked (not really likely), or had given out my account number to Experian Credit without my authorization. Experian, without ever being contacted by me, and without ever contacting me, mysteriously charged me $35 for no reason whatsoever.
And, naturally, because the account was overdrafted, this meant that I couldn't make the brand new just-imposed quota of FIFTEEN FUCKING TRANSACTIONS PER MONTH!!! in order to avoid TCF's $10-per-month fee just for having an account with the worthless shit-eaters.
Sounds to me as if you are a bad shopper of banks. I don't have a clue about Taiwan banking, but I do about US banking.
I pay zero per check, and would not have an account that charged me for using checks. This has been true for decades.
Can I find a bank that would charge me? Sure, but I'm not an idiot, why would I?
Wire transfer for rent? What? Are you a moron? Ever hear of cash or check?
I pay bills electronically all day long for zero. Are you a moron?
Sounds like you are a very young and immature person who was easily conned. Let me guess? Asian?
If they committed fraud, why didn't you do something about it, instead of crying and swearing online over your impotence?
Don't forget mobile data plans, cable TV charges and airline ticket fees.
This is what they are teaching in business school now. Virtual milking.
In my area, we call that a DIA fee. (Dick In the Ass) A great example of a DIA fee is baggage on a plane, or the UAC fee on your cable bill for Obamafones.
Yep. Life is just so much better outside the U.S.
I feel like I'm channeling Simon Black when I say/write things like that, but it's just so fucking true. There is a remarkable lack of bullshit rent-seeking by corporatist scumbags once you escape the bastion of freedom and liberty.
I don't see very many refusing to pay it...doing with out. Everyone just holds their collective noses and pays which encourages the practice.
Gave up cable 12 years ago, not missing a thing! Simple cell phone plan, don't care about a fancy fone and when this plain one dies, I will be off the air. I don't like being abused, so I won't fly.
anyone who has lived or traveled outside the US much can immediately note the very high price differentials between the cost of services in the
US and abroad. This is especially true in the medical field.
I wonder if Dutch Boy Burger rounds down to the nearest dollar if the bill ends in .49 ?
I wouldn't spend too long wondering about that...
Yep, America is turning into a third world nation that has to by hook or by crook get it's money from anybody in it's borders.
When I go to the BLT Burger. I always order Makers straight. When they try and charge me an extra $2. I tell them to add the ice cubes.
Well played. I will try to do likewise next time at BLT Steak. I'd bet they have the same stupid policies.
All will undoubtedly raise the velocity of Money thereby boosting Nominal GDP.
Krugman should have a 6 hour hard-on.
At least Kerry's overseas trip goes well, I hear, piece in our time....
Peace on who's time?
OK, is it my imagination, or does that job make you ugly as sin? No matter how bad they were going in, they come out looking like the troll under the Mule Creek Bridge. Remember Madeline Albright? That Bitch was so fugly she scared the horses.
She was no bargain going in...
She? I always thought it was a fat man.
They just gave her the job to get her out of the cuntry.
..."piece in our time." [sic]...
Is he getting laid, too!???
Re: Chamberlain - see also: Norman Angell's "The Great Illusion"

Of course we are:

all of these combined items = american greatism....
i feel this is going to end badly.
Does she count as Christendom though? Once you remove that constraint, she looks better....ummm you win.
Hey, what do you have against gator hunters and rednecks?
Yeah, who else do you want on your side during the upcoming invasion of lizard-man-aliens that speak with a French accent?
I suggest charging visitors for entry tickets to the world's first continental scale human herding theme park - you people really get milk(ed)! XP
If you make nothing then you have to charge for nothing.
Besides, Bernanke prints $85 billion a month - a currency created out of nothing is worth nothing. Fraud starts at the top.
Indeed, and when fraud is the status quo, possession is the law. bring it.
Indeed, all crime begins with politicians.
Right, because these things aren't happening anywhere else on the planet. < sarc off > totally stupid. Humanity isn't a ponzi, it's the ponzi.
Dont forget all those UPS surcharges including rural delivery, gas, and wrong address. They nit pick us to death.
UPS sucks syphilitic donkey shlong.
Never, EVER, will I use their abominably bad 'service' again, after almost uncounted packages lost in transit, damaged in transit, or left on my doorstep, unannounced, in the rain, at 9:00 PM at night, or in nearby snowbanks only to be found ruined in the spring.
Twice UPS delivered packages to the neighbor across the street and next door to me in suburbia.
My address was on the door, on the curb, and I lived on a corner.
They had to try to not deliver it to my house.
I once sent about $250 of frozen seafood, via UPS overnight delivery, to my sister and brother-in-law in Florida as a Christmas gift. When, after EIGHT days it had still not been delivered, I redirected the now-rotting and hopefully loathsome package to the personal office of the CEO of UPS.
I followed it up with a rather detailed letter, explaining from whom and why he was receiving such a generous gift, as well as giving him the history of the package's travels through the Byzantine and utterly incompetent UPS network.
He's lucky you didn't send a chunk of durian with the letter.
Slightly off topic...
My son loads packages @ UPS part time whilst going to college. Makes about $100/week take home, but has excellent health insuance. UPS is going to increase health care costs by about $30/week and he will be down to making enough to fill the gas tank per week!
Interestingly, he has been handling a boxes of gun powder the last couple of months...
The new normal!
I know more than one young person who worked at UPS part time on a special student program [UPS pays tutition etc] while going to UofL, graduated debt free and with some cash. Great company for young people who want a degree and aren't afraid to work for it. No obligation to work for UPS after graduation.
As for the horror stories about UPS, I have used all the shipping companies for decades, they are the best over all. They do make mistakes, of course, but overall, good job.
I believe it.
Luckily I had neighbors of character who brought the packages over to me.
These were expensive items, $500+ that were supposed to have signature confirmation.
As it was holiday season and the higher-ups whip their subordinates for chruning volume and profits for their bonuses no doubt the drivers were simply trusting the neighborhood so they could stay employed, I was lucky they guessed right.
Obviously I will short the stock on your candid testimonial.
UPS is a dealbreaker for me. If I have to rely on them for delivery, I will pass on the buy.
My husband (not knowing my anti-UPS convictions) recently ordered a new PC from tigerdirect. Tigerdirect is not a bad company. BUT they send via UPS.
We received one (1) "Final Notice of Delivery Attempt" stuck on the front of our mailbox, on the SAME day the thing was shipped to us. (There were supposed to be 3 delivery attempts, as a standard part of the tigerdirect delivery contract.) I called tigerdirect AND UPS and mentioned that it is fraud to claim that this is the final of 3 delivery attempts, when it was only the first one. (That's if they brought the package that time at all - we were home all day and there was no knock, no ring at the door that day.) I demanded the to-my-door delivery we had paid for. The UPS guy promised to bring it the following Monday.
Monday came, Monday went. No delivery.
Fuming, I went the depot the next day and picked it up. When I did so, they guy said he was packaging it for COD delivery BACK to tigerdirect the next day, since no-one had come to pick it up and it was considered undeliverable. (This is, in total, 6 days after the notice of delivery, which includes a weekend. Nearly all of that time was spent waiting for the Monday the UPS guy had promised on the phone.) I had to take the computer home by cab, which of course was additional delivery expense.
I have a dated "Final Notice", and a dated "Notice of Shipment", both of which are dated the same day. The "Final Notice" is a paper notice with a handwritten date and a handwritten "Final Notice" selection. This should be ample to make a complaint of fraud to the Better Business Bureau, not that I expect any real consequences on them from the BBB but if there are any at all it will be worth something. UPS never had the smallest intention of delivering anywhere near my house, despite the service advertised and despite the promise to me on the call (witnessed by the tigerdirect rep and no doubt entered in their call records).
When I saw the guy at the depot, I could see why he didn't want to deliver it to my door. He was 300 pounds if he was an ounce. He didn't look like he could make it a block without help. He probably hasn't delivered any package larger than an envelope for lo these last ten years.
Happy to say my husband now shares my deep anti-UPS convictions, and is beginning to understand my frequent use of the term "union parasites". I did tell the tigerdirect rep that I never would have bought from them had I known UPS was their carrier, but the response wasn't much more than a yawn.
Renfield, I do not doubt any aspect of your story, and completely sympathize with you, as every detail of it sounds precisely like so many of my experiences with UPS. The final straw for me was when the same sister and brother-in-law mentioned above sent me, for my birthday, and again unfortunately by UPS, an entire case of $100+ bottles of wine, only to have the UPS moron leave it on my doorstep, totally unannounced, well after 9:00 PM on a November evening in Alaska in sub-zero temperatures. Every bottle froze, and either shattered or popped its cork. I might have salvaged some of the latter, except the moron left the box upside down!
I once attended a small business seminar at which the organizers eventually broke us up in smaller groups to discuss various specific problems we faced as small business owners. When the topic of shipping was brought up, and we were asked "What is your most frustrating problem regarding shipping?", ALL eight or nine of us in that group, in unison, shouted out "UPS!".
paypal is very unpopular with small business owners.
I can't count on both fingers and toes the number of packages I have had to go the the United Parcel Service UPS depot (NOT United States Postal Service or USPS) to pick up.
I swear to God they are running back to the truck before they ring the doorbell.
By the time I got upstiars (15 seconds) they were driving away.
Yellow sticker on the door "come pick up or...".
Fuck that.
you forgot the part of the story where you got a personal phone call and two tickets to hawaii
it's smartphone economy ... without idiots paying $100 a month for phone service the consumer spending will likely collapse ...
I'm disappointed in the triviality of the infographic.
$100 to $200 a month for TV that used to be free
$100 to $200 a month for phone service that used to cost $10 a month.
Internet service, home alarm service, gym membership ... all totally trivial and useless. (OK, maybe the internet is useful)
All these 'services' do is distract and impoverish.
And how many businesses get paid twice?
Advertizers pay the media to reach the people and the people pay that same media to be advertized to.
The closest thing you can come up with is to compare to a family that owns a huge piece of real estate worth a lot of money....probably been in the family for 100's of years.
One day the lazy, self-indulgent descendents of these hard-working pioneers decides to take out a mortgage on the property. They party on for about 25 years living the good life....just consuming, having parties, buying fancy clothes, traveling etc....always taking on more debt and never working or learning new skills. They are looked upon as the greatest generation and are the envy of everyone.
Finally, the banker won't lend them any more and they are forced to sell the property to pay off the mortgages. The banker buys it for a great fire-sale price.
I caught on to my ENT doctors scam. He did a biopsy last year on a non malignant growth ( thank god) but charged me another $50 co-pay to come to his office to get the results from his nurse. This year he did another biopsy on it this year and his office called again and said the biopsy result was in and to come in and get the results. I said send it to my primary care doctor.
Good tip.
My primary care doctor this year is trying to get me to come back to corporate-care headquarters to pay another $100 for a thyroid hormone blood level re-test and another $100+ for another office visit three months after my annual test and visit.
I can't decide if I'm going to show up at the emergency room speaking Spanish or skip the hormone for a couple of weeks and claim he wouldn't give me a prescription.
Actually it works like this. Say you will be out of town for the next two weeks ( that's what I did to see what the results were. If they were bad they would tell you to come in right away). The doctors office, knowing the results were not bad, suggested she send them to my primary care physician. I said, yes, that would be a good idea.
Wife's an ER nurse.... Go in and claim your ID was stolen. Get treated and give a fake name. Youre good. People do it DAILY.
MDB, Krugman: C'mon, comments please. I need to be entertained.
MDB: "If only every American could have an Ivy League education, earn six figures jiggering leveraged stocks with 401K money, and break three windows at their Parents estate this economy would be humming."
Krugman: "If we allow illegal immigration from China and don't require Visa's for Chinese graduate students while doubling QE and government spending the economy will be in great shape."
They're my 2 favourite Hedge comedian-trolls. (Trolls if you don't think they're being ironic I guess.)
I always Upvote them but I am in the minority. Guess we can't have too many comedians in this tough crowd.
Harvey Wang or Harry Wanger or whatever his ass is couldn't hold a candle. And Robot Trader, I kind of suspected he was trying to be serious at least 60% of the time.
Ah, HarryWanger! You DO go back a ways here, don't you?
Do you happen to remember JohnnyBravo? A.k.a. Masterbates?
Now that was a REAL SOB troll!
Didn't he also have a name with something to do with an apple, maybe JohnnyAppleseed? At one point he said that he had forgotten the password for one of his accounts, and had to start a new one.
I wonder if he ever finished college?
Of course, there was also your old friend Leo.
JohnnyBravo's avatar for quite a while was the Apple logo, so you are partially correct on that.
Leo! How could I forget my dear old smug and arrogant, diehard Keynesian friend?!
I wonder if he is still having breakfast with pension fund managers, and then babbling about it all in his blog, you know, how the future is all rainbows and lollipops with good Keynesians at the helm of the world's central banks.
There WAS a JohnnyAppleseed! I don't remember the avatard but I remember that name, mostly b/c it seemed like such a waste for a troll. Real trolls should always be named something relating to a penis. It just suits better.
That was another one who I suspected was a Harvey Winky sock.
There was a whole spate of trolls - whose names I can't even bother with, 2008-2010 vintage - who'd run into the middle of every thread no matter what the topic was, and yell "Gold suckz" or alternatively "Gold Bitchez!" to try to get the discussion derailed. (They always used the "z" ending since trolls are sheep and have no clue what "Gold, bitches" means or when it should be used. God DAMN I miss Cheeky Bastard.)
It usually worked back then. I got so tired of telling some ranting gold- or paper-bug "Don't feed the trolls" but I guess Hedgers are more sophisticated now and have learned to tell 'em when they see 'em, just Junk and move back to where the grownups are talking. They were the MOST boring and the MOST annoying b/c that tactic actually worked for awhile. I'd have to scroll past 75% of the comments just to get to the good stuff.
Good times. Good times.
hehehe - yeah I remember them (JB & MB). I always suspected they were Harry Wanker socks actually so I always sort of conflated them together in my mind. Can't remember why anymore; I think they just all sounded the same and none of them were funny. It all blurs together after awhile. Prolly took too many punches to the head here or something. Now I can only remember the funny ones.
I'm callling bull$hit
My plumber earns his bonus by showing -up. First fifteen minutes is $140.
At least he deals with shit. Bankers and politicians just create it.
Scratching the surface of all the other bullshit we "pay" for-- would need one of dem fancy universe doo-hickeys I see big data crunchers use for perty presentations
How about your local bank branch charging $40 for a wire transfer using the same system they do all their transfers with and charge other banks nothing for. Oh, and just to piss you off even more, they won't guarantee the transfer in less than 48 hours, even though it only takes 30 seconds to execute.
1s and 0s are expensive. Just ask the Bernank.
They have to run it through the IRS first.
What ever happened to the attitude of abundance?
Yet another example of the joy of late stage crony capitalism.
Just wait until the crap your town comes up with to tax you to death. Someone's gotta pay their retirement.
Hear that ladies? You should never decline the cheese.
Want a good laugh, look at your hospital bill sometime. When you stop ROTFL, ask for a detailed itemization of the bill PLUS an explanation of EACH charge.
$15 bandaides, $800 for an OB-Gyn pack (when I only had a mole removed!)...and so on.
I can remove your mole for $10 and half a stick of dynamite.
Oh, wait ... which kind of mole are you talking about?
You know what a mole is, right doc?
Happened with my Dad... he demanded written justification for each line item, including authorizations. The bill quickly dropped almost 60%.
I opened my mail. It was from the IRS. A month or so ago I got a letter from the IRS saying I had not paid tax on a $14 dividend I received. The letter asked if I wanted to calculate my tax liability on this enormous oversight on my 2011 or have the IRS do it. I wasn't sure where it came from so I said for them to do it. Today's letter informed me I owed them....$115,472!!!
That soot monkey in the White House and his humanzees in the IRS are out of friggin control.
Tell them you are a Jewish BANKER.............you will pay a small fine and will admit to no wrongdoing!!
good luck
That is a term I hadn't heard in a while but if you look it up it is an interesting true story about a chimpanzee that was so human it had to be a cross breed.
Nice informatic and one forgotten too is data selling...billions are made. If Walgreens made short of $800 million in 2010 think of how big that pot is. Why go out and set up new factories and hire people when you can either mine and sell data in house or mine it from the outside and sell it. Billions in profits are made and the data is getting flawed as it's like "hey dude let's write some code and query some dat and sell some new analytics"...
They are trying to use non linear on very linear data and stretching to the limits and flawes of course roll. Now a group of bankers came up wiht some wise words...half the analytics sold are going to be useless...I agree with them, as read the paragraph I wrote above. Getting Algo Duped is what they prey on.
Selling data is an epidemic right now and the tangible folks (manufacturing) have no icnetive or go sell datat themselves. Well I can't eat an algo for lunch and nor does an algo pay the rent.
Speaking of Walgreens, big breach in personal health records and how did all this get stolen? Were they sloppy in processing the data for sale and left it out?
This is the biggest technology attack on consumers that has ever existed and why I wrote the series called the Attack of the Killer Algorithms and nobody cares that their flawed data is denying you the consumer something. They don't even know what they are doing with the data.
And we have analytics that tell employers to get the employees to dump their spouses to save money and minimize risk for profits with health insurance.
Again I say excise and license those folks making all this easy money. Feds can't see it as they are obvlisous but it gets everyone of us. Of course it is sold over and over again without upates too.
This is such a huge profit area for banks and companies and it's totally invisible to the consumer so doing my best to bring an awareness around. Just today another blogger said beware of the doctor machines in Wal-Mart, and she's right they are set up to mine your data while you are there.
Here in Southern California I called two contractors to get estimates to put up 50 feet of plain wood fencing. The estimates were: $10,500 and $12,000. In both estimates the materials were less than $1800. The rest was for labor and planning. If you can do blue collar work I urge you to move to Southern California and get rich.
Are your legs broke?
California requires the most draconian set of work permits for contractors this side of the Milky Way.
They most likely paid thousands for a class A contractor's license, city license, special insurance, mandatory Workman's Comp plus annual unkeep fees. It's not that their getting rich, there's just not as many that can afford that shit.
Agenda 21 is firmly in place in Calif. Florida as well. This is why. They are complicating the procedure to stone wall the ability for small businesses to grow.
Agenda 21 has been moving in for 20 years. It's nearly complete. When it is completely, your land will be either no longer yours or worth so much now that the taxes on the property will render you unable to contain ownership.
They are going to cordon off 40% of the US land mass for the good of the climate. You'll be living in a 200 sq apartment with 1 door that goes right into a hallway to a warehouse...your new job.
This policy is designed to strangle Americans and put the control of the land and businesses in operation under a group of individuals called NGO, who are paid with your tax dollars, to do "it right." UN has a web site, it is all fucking right there
there's no permit required for a fence under 6' in height in so cal.
so, can you build 2 5'11" fences and 'stack' them on top of each other?
i find with most laws, there are alway unintended consequences....just saying.
In both estimates the materials were less than $1800.
Hopefully they were way less than $1800. Spacing your posts evenly would give you seven sections of a little more than 7 feet each. You'd need 100 six-inch pickets and, depending on the height, either two or three rails per section. Altogether, that's a total of 8 4x4 posts, 14 (or 21) 2x4 rails, 100 1x6 boards, a dozen or so bags of concrete, and a few boxes of nails or staples.
So for $1800, were you getting the teak or the walnut?
What, you mean YOU don't have a Brazilian rosewood picket fence?
I thought everyone who's anyone went for the tropical wood fences --- wasn't that the fad that followed all the must-have granite countertops?
akak asked:
What, you mean YOU don't have a Brazilian rosewood picket fence?
No. Instead, I've gone with an ornamental, self-repairing variety of concertina wire known as Rosa rugosa.
...it's the nails that were expensive.
The libs in CA consider them assault weapons.
Actually they would make pretty good assault weapons, albeit close range fighting only. I've seen 2 brad nailers to the head in a couple of construction fights. Wow, pretty impressive X-rays. We use our nail gun for a lot of home projects and I have to admit it scares the shit out of me!
get another estimate but brush up on America's de facto second language
Outright fraud. corkage fee. Advise the Sommelier where the cork will find itself, inserted using a fork. Paying a theater to watch commercials? Guess it has been awhile since I saw a movie. Thanks for the warning, I can wait for the DVD. Paying for a casket @$999 20 years ago and having them want more because they forgot to order it for you, then billing you double? That is a tort. Wheelchair fee? When it is against the law? But last but not least, no wonder no one I know ever recommended a kindle. Hard to imagine reading a book with commercials.
Does anyone actually know anyone that would put up with this crap, ever?
Buy a DVD with your hard earned money then after pushing the play button, get threatened by the FBI then have to watch 6 commericials trying to sell you another DVD. Seems to me that if you bought it and are threatened by the FBI to only keep it for private use that their damn advertisements are then an invasion of your privacy.
The rage factor just keeps on building.

Can anyone say that these charges are more absurd than when the Catholic Church used to sell tickets, that allowed travel from an imaginary place called "pergutory", to another imaginary place called "heaven"?
would it be ok if they said you could travel from pergurtory to heaven an imaginary flying saucer with imaginary aliens.
Would this flying saucer involve travelling with a priest, wearing a blindfold and a free anal probe?
When did they stop?
"Purgatory".. fixed it for ya
Catholic Answers: Why Go To Purgatory?
Why would anyone go to purgatory? To be cleansed, for "nothing unclean shall enter [heaven]" (Rev. 21:27). Anyone who has not been completely freed of sin and its effects is, to some extent, "unclean." Through repentance he may have gained the grace needed to be worthy of heaven, which is to say, he has been forgiven and his soul is spiritually alive. But that's not sufficient for gaining entrance into heaven. He needs to be cleansed completely.
It is entirely correct to say that Christ accomplished all of our salvation for us on the cross. But that does not settle the question of how this redemption is applied to us. Scripture reveals that it is applied to us over the course of time through, among other things, the process of sanctification through which the Christian is made holy. Sanctification involves suffering (Rom. 5:3–5), and purgatory is the final stage of sanctification that some of us need to undergo before we enter heaven. Purgatory is the final phase of Christ's applying to us the purifying redemption that he accomplished for us by his death on the cross.
Christian Version
There is no repentance in the grave.
The rich man that died in Luke 16:19-31 had no chance of repentance after death. All those that die goes to the grave and whatever state they die in as it pertains to God's Word is the state they will spend eternity in.
The theory of a purgatory, or the intermediate state of suffering between heaven and hell for the discipline and purification of those who finally are to enter heaven, belongs to the Roman church. It is part of an elaborate system of doctrine concerning the souls of the departed developed by medieval theology. It has no foundation in Scripture and is even opposed by such Scriptures as pronounce those "who die in the Lord" as "blessed" or "with Christ." It dishonors the perfect atonement of our Lord and has led to the great abuse of the sale of masses for the dead.
But God's Word tells us there is nothing we can do for anyone that is in hell our prayers cannot help them. Yet purgatory is suppose to be a temporary cleansing of the sin period where those that are there are tortured with fire. So in other words sound like they are in hell already but through prayer they can be released.
There is no repentance in the Grave! Whatever state one die in is the same state they will spend eternity in.
ZHers, your take?
"If we don't know life, how can we know death?"
"Someday, anyone of us will find death is better than living.
Pls embrace death as you embraced life.
There is no death without life
Your time will come eventually."
"A belief in hell and the knowledge that every ambition is doomed to frustration at the hands of a skeleton have never prevented the majority of human beings from behaving as though death were no more than an unfounded rumor." - Aldous Huxley, author of 'Brave New World', 'Brave New World Revisited', 'The Doors of Perception', 'Island' (his last book), etc.

Hey, I'm Evripidis!
My name is Evripidis. I come from Athens, Greece but I have been living in Barcelona for more than 11 years. I am a musician, illustrator, writer and dj. I enjoy music, literature, cinema, traveling, arts and a good party.
I am a devoted fan of indie pop, rock n' roll, northern soul, sixties beat and new wave music and my 3 favourite artists are The Velvet Underground, The Beach Boys and The Magnetic Fields. I have a soft tooth for Japanese, Corean, Vietnamese, Pakistani and of course Greek cuisine. My favourite movie of all times is Rosemary's Baby, my favourite book is Wuthering Heights and my favourite comic is Black Hole. I speak Greek, English and Spanish very fluently and I can defend myself in French after a glass of wine! I play the piano and sing. My plants are members of my family. And I got many of them.
I consider myself a friendly, communicative person who is always eager to meet new people, new cultures and new ways of thinking. I have an unconditional love for the Greek Cyclades Islands, New York and Istanbul. My mother has always pointed me out the importance of hospitality (she says it is part of our Greek heritage-look up Zeus Xenios, the God of Hospitality), thus my house has always been a space that is open for visitors, either close friends or friendly acquaintances. I love having guests and share points of view and good times. I am also very passionate about showing my visitors anything that I find interesting in my city. My close friends often point out that I should be a touristic guide.
If you are curious about what I do as an artist, have a look at

Review: Jetpack Joyride
Sep 01
// Nick Chester
Jetpack Joyride (iOS)Developer: HalfbrickReleased: September 1, 2011Price: 99 cents It doesn't take a rocket scientist to play Jetpack Joyride, and that's half of its appeal. Like many iOS titles, its controls boil down to tapping the screen and occasionally, um, tapping the screen some more. You'll be doing so to initiate protagonist Barry Steakfries' machine gun jetpack, tapping (or holding) to make him hover in the air as you avoid lasers, missiles, and a maze of electric ropes. As you proceed further, the stakes get hire as Barry moves faster and faster, and the game's traps become trickier and trickier. While the machine gun jetpack may very well be the most awesome mode of transport ever in the history of forever, it's not the only vehicle in Barry's arsenal. Occasionally and randomly, additional vehicles can be picked up along the way. From the "Crazy Freaking Teleporter" to the Tiny Wings-inspired "Profit Bird" (which borrows sound effects from the popular, money-making iOS title), each vehicle will react to those same screen taps and holds, but responds a bit differently. For example, the "Crazy Ass Teleporter" will allow you to zap to new areas of the screen with a simple tap. The "Profit Bird" is one of the more slower vehicles, but can be made to fly with repeated screen taps, and I found it easier to navigate than many of the others. You'll come to find your favorites as you experiment and play, but given that they basically offer one free hit (i.e. mushrooms in Super Mario Bros.), you're going to want to grab 'em when you see 'em.Halfbrick has also thrown some additional random elements into the mix with bonus coins that appear periodically throughout your journey. These coins can be redeemed in a slot machine after a run (when you hit an electric fence, missile, etc.) and can offer a number of bonuses and perks. Some will even give you a second chance, letting you continue on to reach a higher score. In other instances, you might have a bomb dropped on you to give you some extra distance to reach even higher scores. These basics and the very nature of wanting to best your own high scores (and your friends' via Game Center or OpenFeint) would be enough to keep you coming back for more. But Halfbrick has also integrated an impressive mission system that kept me playing this simple game for hours on end. At any given time, players have three goals to reach, ranging from hitting certain distances to near-missing X-number of missiles. Completing goals earns you stars, and as you rank up, missions roll over into a fresh set of objectives. There's always something to be striving for, whether it's topping the leaderboards or knocking another one of the game's missions off your list. There's also a ton of extras packed into Jetpack Joyride, most of them purchased with coins picked up during gameplay. While some of them are simply cosmetic (my Barry Streakfries looks like a zombie now; what's yours wearing?), others are more useful in gameplay. One-off items can be purchased, like second chances or distance-boosting bombs, or permanent upgrades like adding a coin magnet to the game's many vehicles.There are few criticisms that can be thrown at Jetpack Joyride, but I'd be lying if I said it was a completely perfect experience. For one, the very nature of having to tap the screen with your finger can lead to obstructing your view, and potentially a hazard that will cause your game to end. To the game's credit, you can tap anywhere on the screen, including a small area directly behind Barry. Your mileage with this may vary, but I never really found a place where my finger never seemed "in the way" at some point. There's also a lot of luck involved in Jetpack Joyride, at least when it comes to reaching the high end of the leaderboards, and this may frustrated some. True, the game is all about fast reflexes and being able to keep up with the blazing speeds that Barry can reach. Make no mistake, the touch screen on any iOS device can keep up with the game's controls, which are quick and responsive. But there's a bit of randomness involved, as well, particularly when using those bonus coins. My best run came from the sheer luck of getting multiple bomb bonuses and a heart, which earned me a chance to continue on further. Even still, the most skilled players will always have an edge, and will also have that element of luck on their side. At a mere 99 cents, Jetpack Joyride is an insane value for what's offered. Let's put it this way: the in-game stats on my iPod tell me I've put six hours into the game; include my time playing on an iPad, and you're adding another two or three. To put that into perspective, I probably didn't have to play more than 30 minutes of this game to give it a proper review, the game is simply that straightforward. I simply was having so much fun, and I didn't want to stop. Speaking of which, I've said enough. I think I've got some more Jetpack Joyride to play. I'd suggest you get to doing the same.
With so many "runner" games on iOS, another one is certainly a hard sell. But there's a reason these games are so popular. It's a simple concept -- a character moves continuously from left to right at an ever-increasing speed...

Review: Fruit Ninja Kinect
Aug 08
// Nick Chester
Fruit Ninja Kinect (Xbox 360)Developer: HalfbrickPublisher: Microsoft Game StudiosReleased: August 10, 2011Price: 800 MS Points The concept is simple: from off-screen, fruits are tossed into your field of view and it's your job to cut them down for points. In the case of Fruit Ninja Kinect, this is done by simply swiping or chopping with your hands. If you've any concerns about the accuracy of Microsoft's Kinect and potential irritations, squash them right now. Whatever magic Halfbrick has harnessed needs to be shared with other developers; Fruit Ninja Kinect's feeling of one-to-one accuracy is a triumph. Rarely did I find myself frustrated when attempting to demolish a pear or a watermelon. While there's that first moment or two where you'll have to orient yourself in the game space, once you find your positioning, swiping at the fruit you see on any part of the screen is never an issue. This is made even easier by an on-screen background shadow which mimics your own movements, and helps you simply and quickly establish your location. Splattering fruits with total body movement is certainly more visceral than the passive finger swipes of the mobile iterations, as well, and it's utterly empowering and endlessly satisfying. Fruit Ninja Kinect also tracks your slices based on your speed, meaning that it generally will only respond to swift movements. This is particularly useful in game modes that require you to show restraint and not hit certain objects, like bombs. While the game is generally rather intelligent in knowing your slicing intentions, sometimes there's a hiccup. On more than a few occasions I accidentally swiped at a bomb when just trying to scratch my nose. That's more my fault than the game's; I should be able to control myself for the few minutes that each round lasts. Still, it's worth mentioning, as that's obviously not an issue with touchscreen versions of the game. The single player game modes Halfbrick has included with Fruit Ninja Kinect are identical to its mobile companions. The game's "Classic" mode tasks you with hitting all fruit thrown up on a screen, with the game ending when you miss three or hit a single bomb. The game's timed "Arcade" mode gives you one minute to destroy as much fruit as possible, with bonus power up fruits thrown into the mix. Then there's the game's "Zen" mode, which does away with all of the bombs and power ups, a minute and a half of mostly stress-free fruit carving. Given that there are only three modes, not one of which offers more than a few minutes of gameplay, the question of the game's value rears its head. (The game is priced at 800 MS Points, or $10.) Fruit Ninja Kinect is more than the sum of its parts, though. While the gameplay itself is best suited to short sessions (this is a physical game, so prepare to sweat), its replayability hinges on the game's leaderboards. Without any campaign-style progression, most of my play time was spent trying to out-slice my friends. It's certainly a strong incentive to continue playing, and Halfbrick knows that's the game's meat and potatoes. The developer has designed the leaderboards so they're consistently shown to players, and its main menu displays a randomized game "challenge" that often tasks you with one-upping a friend's score. Halfbrick did build some rather fun multiplayer modes into Fruit Ninja Kinect, which could extend the game's life in "party" scenarios. One mode has two players scoring cooperatively, sharing bonuses and power-ups. But it's the competitive mode that will likely get the most play. In this mode, each player has to swipe at their own fruits, while avoiding that of their opponents. Bonus point "free for all" fruits fly across both sides of the screen, and points are lost for squashing your adversary's produce. Things can get hectic as rounds come to a close, and it's tempting to enter your competitors game space to physically nudge them aside for an advantage. If you've played Fruit Ninja on a mobile device, you should know what you're getting into with this Kinect iteration. The core gameplay is identical, and it's arguably even more fun using your full body versus lazily swiping a finger across a touchscreen. But it's also a game that's 99 cents for iOS, and currently free (though ad-supported) for Android devices. With all of that said, its $10 price point may be the only thing that would keep someone from picking up Fruit Ninja Kinect. Even still, it's unquestionably enjoyable, and easily the best version of Halfbrick's popular title. If you're motivated by outscoring your friends or see a rowdy fruit slicing party with friends in the future, you won't regret a Fruit Ninja Kinect purchase.
In theory, translating Halfbrick's popular fruit-slicing mobile title to Kinect is a remarkable idea. It's hard not to buy into the idea of one-to-one karate chopping of juicy produce in your living room. Fortunately, in practice, Fruit Ninja Kinect works and plays just as well as you'd hope.

E3: Fruit Ninja Kinect is my new upper body workout
Jun 09
// Nick Chester
The game will feature the modes you'd expect from Fruit Ninja -- Classic, Zen, and the fast-paced Arcade mode. But the addition of a two-player mode is probably the most inspired new feature. In it, two players stand side-by-side swiping at fruits on the screen, with one aiming for red-glowing fruits, the other for blue. Hit the other players fruits and you'll lose points. Nail a special glowing fruit (up for grabs) and earn extra bonus points. The timed game I played was neck-and-neck up until the end, with me and my open (Gamertag Radio's Godfree) working ourselves into a frenzy as the clock counted down. I totally won. Sorry, Godfree. Better luck next time, my man. Fruit Ninja Kinect is set for release this year as part of Microsoft's Summer of Arcade for 800 MS Points.
Halfbrick revealed that it will be bringing its popular Fruit Ninja title to Xbox Live Arcade this summer with Kinect support. It's as tiring, but as awesome, as you might expect. If you've played Fruit Ninja, you know the dr...

Hey Dreamweaver? If you think your art sucks, you should have a look at my magnum opus. It's of Cloud from the popular game, Final Fantasy: All the Bravest.
I never thought this would happen, but here I am. all of my 700+ pokemon gone in one day. My cart stopped working and there's nothing I can do. I quit, you can't just rebuild all that. Time to find something else.
Tom Collins is a pretty great drink, and well suited for poutine. consumption

It may be because I've been drinking but... We need some dung beetles from ark for the front page. Move that dung on out.
Does anyone know how to get PS4 screenshots onto a PC without needing a flash drive? I don't have a spare.
This is an example of how bad my drawings are. I honestly think drawing stick figures would've been easier on the eyes. :( The worst thing about this image is that this was made after I got BETTER. Trust me, you don't want to see my earlier stuff. T^T
So I received a mysterious box in the mail today. When I opened it I was blown away...The friends I've made here on Destructoid are amazing (More pics in the comments).
Woe is me. This month's Cblog theme is basically an excuse to draw pretty girls, and here I am with no time.

Facing the Limits Of a Just War
By CELESTINE BOHLEN
Published: September 22, 2001
American aircraft carriers head for the Persian Gulf, and the president steps up his threats against terrorists. It is in times like these, when anger, pain and outraged patriotism are tossed together with talk of war, that moral philosophers, theologians and others who study the ethics of modern warfare begin to worry.
''It was St. Augustine who said the greatest danger of war is not the physical harm that it causes but the passions that it inspires,'' said the Rev. J. Bryan Hehir, a Catholic theologian and professor of the practice of religion in society at the Harvard Divinity School.
As Americans reel from the enormity of the attacks, a moral equation hovers: what would be the appropriate, effective and just response by the most powerful nation on earth?
St. Augustine, the fourth century Christian philosopher, was one of the first to tackle the concept of a just war, but the idea of setting limits on when and how wars should be fought is as old as armed combat. Rules of engagement have evolved; it was only after the devastating civilian casualties in World War II that the Geneva Conventions for the Protection of Victims of War were signed in 1949.
Still, each new war brings another moral quandary and another round of debate. This time, as several scholars have noted, the issue lies in the asymmetrical balance of forces. On one side is a modern superpower with a full arsenal of high-tech weapons restrained by popular moral revulsion at the prospect of inflicting unintended damage on innocent bystanders. On the other is a shadowy network of conspirators who may lack modern weapons but have no qualms about killing thousands of victims.
Few moral philosophers except committed pacifists dispute that the United States has just cause to use force in this case. But many emphatically reject the use of the word ''war'' in anything but a metaphorical sense, noting that in this case the enemy is not a state against which hostilities can be formally declared and from which surrender can be sought.
''It is like the war against crime or drugs,'' said Sir Michael Howard, a noted military historian. ''It is a way of mobilizing forces, but that is not a war.''
Still, the restraints of a just-war doctrine must apply, Sir Michael continued. ''If one is engaging in police actions against international criminals, it is even more important that we do no more damage to innocent bystanders than is absolutely necessary,'' he said.
But those restraints, many agree, are particularly difficult to apply against targets who are not only elusive and covert but who deliberately use the civilian population for cover.
''The response is problematic because it is so hard to identity and isolate the terrorists, and therefore it is hard to aim at them,'' said Michael Walzer, a professor of social science at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and the author of ''Just and Unjust Wars: A Moral Argument with Historical Illustrations,'' a 1977 classic that sought to give a modern definition to war ethics.
In calibrating the response, the first task is to clarify both the motives and the goals, several scholars noted. Mr. Walzer, among others, rejects the notion of retaliation, which in many ways is simply a code word for revenge. ''It would be a great failure of our political leadership if they were satisfied or persuaded us that we ought to be satisfied with an act of retaliation,'' he said. ''We could do what the Israelis do, which is bomb some empty buildings and claim that is retaliation. But I don't see the point.''
''What our leaders are now responsible for, if they are serious, is an effective campaign against terrorism which must be waged on every front, diplomatically, ideologically as well as militarily,'' he said. ''It should be about effectiveness and not some emotional release.''
The Roman Catholic Church, which starting with St. Thomas Aquinas in the Middle Ages has elaborated its own doctrine of just war, long ago ruled out revenge as a legitimate motive for use of force.
''The intention must be to prevent injustice, to respond to injustice and to re-establish a just peace,'' Father Hehir said. ''The essence of the tradition is that the only morally legitimate response is a limited response.''
Father Hehir, a Jesuit who also teaches at Weatherhead Center for International Affairs at Harvard, noted a growing opinion among Catholics that all use of force is morally illegitimate. That position, he said, has drawn strength from Pope John Paul II, who opposed the Persian Gulf war.
''The pope has supported the use of forces in some cases,'' he noted, ''but he has done so with great hesitation.''
Stanley Hauerwas, a professor of theological ethics at the Duke Divinity School, is an avowed pacifist who argues that the United States should construe its reaction to the Sept. 11 attacks as a police action in which the goal is not to kill but to arrest the perpetrators.
Mr. Hauerwas said he had been ''absolutely dumbfounded'' at the ease and haste with which Christian leaders in the United States adopted a belligerent stance that in his view is at odds with the teachings of their religion.

The Knightwind Ensemble, Milwaukee's premiere wind ensemble, presents their fall concert entitled "Europa", under the direction of Dr. Erik N. Janners. The featured works in this performance include Smetana Fanfare (Husa), Dunamis (Waignein), Two Symphonic Movements (Nelhybel), Dionysiaques (Schmitt), and the Pines of Rome by Respighi. The ensemble is moving to a three concert season this year, with season tickets now available.
"Europa" will take place at 3:00pm on Sunday, October 27th at South Milwaukee PAC (901 Fifteenth Ave., South Milwaukee). Season or single concert tickets are sold at the South Milwaukee Performing Arts Center Box Office, or single tickets may be purchased at the door the day of the concert. All seats are general admission: General Admission/$15 Single concert ticket or $35 Season ticket (3 concerts); Seniors/Student/$12 single concert ticket or $30 Season ticket (3 concerts).
Tickets may be purchased in advance at the South Milwaukee PAC by calling their box office at (414) 766-5049 or order online at http://www.southmilwaukeepac.org/.
The Knightwind Ensemble has been performing for Milwaukee (WI) audiences for over five decades. Beginning in 1956 as a youth activity sponsored by the Milwaukee Elks Lodge No. 46, the group has evolved into Milwaukee's premiere adult wind band. Presenting substantive and challenging programs, the Knightwind Ensemble continually strives to bring high quality concert experiences to its audiences. In 2006, the Ensemble celebrated 50 years as a community organization. It is truly amazing that in the 50 year history, the organization has known only five musical directors in this order: George Zoske, Jim Walker, Wayne Becker, John Steinke, and now Dr. Erik Janners.
Erik Janners, Music Director and Conductor of the Knightwind Ensemble, is internationally recognized as a conductor, scholar and performer. He holds degrees in percussion and conducting from Alma College, the University of Utah, and the University of Alabama. In addition to his duties with Knightwind, Dr. Janners serves as the Director of Music at Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a position he has held since 2007.
More information about the Knightwind Ensemble is available online: www.knightwind.org

It's like if I were to buy a super hydrating moisturizer for my already oily skin. I'm sure the product is fantastic for some people, but it's not for me, and I would not be happy with the results, simply because it doesn't fit my needs.
Go to a store or talk to a rep, and see if they can't help you find what you want with something you need.
Someone who has tried it and been disappointed.
If all else fails you can contact a BE rep and see what they may suggest you can do to help.
3.Redness Remedy-apply it with that neat little brush that came with it
4.Foundation (not heavy, just to smooth everything out)
After cleansing and moisturizing, I apply Prime Time Foundation Primer. Then I use the Redness Remedy. Following that I put on the Foundation (Fairly Light in my case). I following with just a bit of Clear Radiance. Viola!
This is what works for me, and I hope this information helps you.
Redness Remedy
Touch up concealer or redness remedy if needed
Blush or Radiance
Mineral Veil
Thats my no fail daily routine.
The Redness Remedy is for application at the time one makes up before beginning the day. As far as I know, this is not the type of product that reduces redness over time,
so it its effects are not enhanced in any way by wearing it at night.

Kenneth Mikkelsen's curator insight, October 15, 2015 11:36 AM
On a primal level, we seek narrative because our minds are hardwired to sort chaos into order. We seek and desire stability of behavior, and it's difficult for us to look at something and not immediately wrap a story around it. We create stories to give meaning.
How does this apply to work and what you do?
Dave Wood's curator insight, October 16, 2015 12:41 AM
So true. All coaching clients come with a narrative about their situation. Especially when the issue is in relationship to somebody else. Then its a case of "what's your story about them". This is when visually mapping the stories can be so useful.
