Skydive Coastal CaliforniaRead MoreWind roars through the open door of the plane, as the instructor's shouts barely register through the adrenaline pounding in your ears. And as quickly as the roar came, it's replaced with the rushing air of free fall and the sight of miles and miles of California coastline. At Skydive Coastal California, this is how people experience the rush of skydiving. In addition to tandem dives for newcomers, the instructors also help students complete their first solo jumps with accelerated certification programs, and experienced USPA jumpers can join the fun on trips.375 Durley Ave.Camarillo, CA US
UptimalRead MorePeople often go to southern California for its white-sand beaches, looming mountains, and temperate climate. But what if you could experience them all in 30 minutes? At Malibu Paragliding, clients do just that during paragliding and paramotor adventures. Strapped in to their paragliders, they jump from a mountaintop, soar above the trees, and land softly on the shore. While journeying through these vastly different landscapes, you may spot wildlife or actors being chased through the woods by David O. Russell.22144 HWY1 (PCH)Malibu, CA US

Once you've learned a lesson, you'll be unleashed into the vertical tunnel's artificial wind current for some air time at terminal velocity. The entire process lasts about an hour, including waiver signing (flyers under 18 must have a parent or guardian sign), a 15-minute class, and a flight slot during which your group takes turns flying. In addition to the flight experience, the multimedia package includes two souvenir photos. Indoor skydiving is accessible to a wide, family-friendly age range, meaning that Grandma and Grandpa can celebrate their 60th anniversary with more than the traditional cake shaped like Andy Griffith. iFLY's free observation deck allows for maximum show-offiness, so invite along an audience of hard-to-impress friends, lovers, and butlers to marvel at your simulated plummet through the heavens.100 Universal Studios Blvd, Bldg 6520Universal City, CA US

Guilty verdict in E2 nightclub stampede reversed
November 18, 2011
Susie An and Jennifer Brandel
The Illinois appellate court has tossed out guilty verdicts of two Chicago nightclub owners related to a fatal stampede.
Twenty-one people were crushed to death at the E2 nightclub after a fight broke out in 2003. Club security used pepper spray to break up the fight, and that sent people running to the building's second level.
Owners Dwain Kyles and Calvin Hollins were found guilty two years ago for violating a judge's order to shut down the second floor of the club before the night of the stampede.
But an appellate court Tuesday reversed that verdict saying the order was confusing and unclear. The order stated, "Mandatory order not to occupy 2nd floor."
The decision said the order appeared clear on first glance, but it needed more detailed information.
Victor Henderson is a lawyer for Dwain Kyles. When asked at Thursday's press conference who was to blame for the 2003 tragedy, Henderson pointed fingers at the city.
"There hasn't been a complete investigation, so you really can't tell. What did the fire department do? What did they not do? What did the police department do? What did they not do?," Henderson asked.
He cited video taken from outside the club on the night of the incident showing emergency officials standing outside the club, implying they were not going inside to rescue those trapped.
The city's law department says it's disappointed in the decision, saying the defendants violated a clear mandatory court order. The department will review the opinion before deciding whether to make an appeal.

By JOSEPH L. GALLOWAYKnight Ridder NewspapersFORT BENNING- The Army said its farewell to Sgt. 1st Class David J. Salie here on Tuesday at his home post in his hometown of Columbus, Ga. It was filled with ritual and honors and the tears of friends and family.Sgt. Salie was killed on Valentine's Day in Iraq, just four days after he led the troops of the 2nd Platoon, Bravo Company, 2/69 Armor, 3rd Infantry Division into that country to begin a yearlong tour with his division.The altar of the old Main Post Chapel was decorated for an Infantry soldier's funeral - a pair of combat boots standing before a rifle with bayonet fixed and a Kevlar helmet atop the rifle butt.Midway through the memorial service a senior sergeant stood and called the roll, sounding off the names of three or four sergeants in the chapel who answered, "Present." Then he called out "Sergeant Salie." No answer."Sergeant David Salie." No answer. "Sergeant David J. Salie." The answer was weeping among the vast Salie clan in the front right pews.Perhaps the most poignant and moving words of the day were those spoken by Sgt. Salie himself. He had a strong feeling that his luck was running out, after almost 17 years in the Army and combat tours in the Persian Gulf War, Panama and Haiti.So before he left the comfortable bungalow on sergeant's row on this military post, David Salie sat down and recorded a number of video CDs for his wife, children and parents.Deanna Salie asked me to come to their home to view one that she felt was important to share with the American people. It was Sgt. Salie speaking from the heart.There he was. Six-foot-five, 200 pounds. His captain described him as a "mountain of a man." Also "a gentle giant." Wearing a high and tight haircut befitting a sergeant of Infantry.``Well,'' he said, ``this is the suck tape. If you are watching this one, then you know I won't be coming home.'' He told Deanna and the children that he knew it would hurt "but I will always be there with you."He added that there were things left undone in Iraq the last time he was in that part of the world in the Gulf War and that he believed we had to go back if the people of Iraq were to have a better life and better opportunity like his family enjoys here."The price is worth it," Sgt. Salie said. "In my heart."Deanna Salie said she agonized over releasing that tape but knew it was what her husband would have wanted. "We talked about this and agreed that we don't want this Iraq situation to turn into anything like Vietnam, where Americans turned against their own soldiers and their families."It reminds us all that we need to be careful how we talk about the war in Iraq. Whether we approve or disapprove, we are obliged to cast the debate in terms that do not disparage the soldiers who risk everything serving our country, or cause pain to the widows and children who are left with an empty place in their hearts where a husband and a father once dwelled.Sgt. First Class David J. Salie of Columbus, Ga., went to serve in Iraq because he believed the cost was worth it, even if part of the payment was his own life. He was 34 years old and had spent almost half his life in the Army. He was part of that tiny, tiny minority of less than 1 percent of Americans who wear the uniform and take the risks to protect and defend the rest of us. He had everything to live for, but gave it all up for his country and another country and people 7,000 miles away.And while they are grieving the loss of one member, this large Salie clan and assorted in-laws in Georgia aren't giving up on a long heritage of military service. One mother proudly introduced her teen-age son who leaves this week for basic training at Fort Gordon, Ga., and then to medic training.
God bless his soul and be with his family. We lose a few points in a stock and we think things are bad.Please everyone support our troops no matter your feelings on this war. God Bless Em

Floods are a dangerous hazard throughout the world. On average in the United States, about 165 people are killed and about $2 billion of damage occurs each year. Most people underestimate the power and destructiveness of flood waters.
Several kinds of flood maps are available from USGS and other sources.Online USGS map showing real-time flood conditions
Water being drawn from a well was once precipitation that fell onto Earth's surface. It seeped into the ground and, over time, occupied the porous space in some subsurface material.
Water levels in wells are constantly changing both in the short term and over the long term. Some wells even have a seasonal change. In the short term, water levels can be lowered just by pumping water out of the well for use.
The U.S. Geological Survey WaterAlert service sends e-mail or text messages when certain parameters measured by a USGS data-collection station exceed user-definable thresholds.

U.S. Economic Outlook for 2015: Economy Strong but Markets Unstable
Strong Economic Data Points to Growth in 2015?
As 2014 winds down, many investors are wondering what the economic outlook for 2015 will be. If you look at the U.S. economic data that's been trickling in, 2015 looks like it could be a very strong year.
The U.S. announced strong third-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) growth of 3.9%. This extends the recent trend of strong quarter-over-quarter GDP growth; in the fourth quarter of 2013, real GDP growth came in at 2.4%; GDP in the first quarter of 2014 contracted 2.9%—though this was primarily seen as a result of the brutal winter; and in the second quarter, real GDP increased 4.6%.
Gloss over the winter of 2014, and the U.S. economy is showing signs of sustained growth. Not only is GDP growth up, but the U.S. jobs market is also improving with unemployment at 5.8%, consumer confidence is up, and so, too, is retail spending.
The U.S. Census Bureau announced recently that November retail sales increased 0.7% month-over-month to $449.3 billion—the largest monthly gain since March 2014. Economists were expecting November sales to climb just 0.4%. On a year-over-year basis, November retail sales were up a whopping 5.1%.(1)
The momentum could continue well into 2015. And it is excellent news for a country that gets 70% of its GDP from consumer spending. This may be why the U.S. economy is forecast to grow by 3.1% in 2015. That would represent the strongest annual GDP growth since 2005, when the economy grew 3.3%.
In fact, thanks to an improving job market and falling oil prices, the U.S. could enjoy the fastest economic growth in a decade. The optimism and boost in consumer spending can be attributed, in large part, to slumping oil prices.
Oil prices have been in retreat since the summer due to an increased supply of North American shale oil and weak global economic data. Oil prices faced additional pressure in mid-November, when OPEC (the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) announced it would not reduce its output.
On Thursday, December 11, the price of West Texas Intermediate oil dipped below $60.00 per barrel, the lowest price since July 2009. Some analysts predict oil could stay around $60.00 per barrel for the next five years.
What could go wrong?
U.S. Economy Strong but Markets Unstable
Despite all the optimism surrounding the U.S. economy, there is reason for concern. The stock markets may be near their all-time highs, but they are beginning to shows signs of weakness.
Just because the U.S. is doing well does not mean stocks will run in step. Remember, the stock market is only as strong as the companies that go into making up the exchanges. The U.S. is finally showing signs of strength, but the global economy…that's another issue entirely.
Why? Because roughly half of all U.S. companies get some of their revenue from outside the country. A slowing global economy could translate into slowing global sales and fears of a stock market correction in the U.S.

The fact of the matter is that the biggest economies in the world are in trouble and it is only going to get worse.
China, the world's second-largest national economy, is cooling. The country reported third-quarter GDP growth of 7.3%, down from 7.5% in the previous three quarters. This also marks the slowest pace since 2009. The fourth quarter is expected to slow even further. For fiscal 2014, China has set bottom-line economic growth in 2015 at seven percent. Growth in 2015 could be even more subdued.(2)
The eurozone, the biggest economic region in the world, is on the brink of a recession. Germany, the region's biggest economy, recently staved off a recession when it announced third-quarter GDP growth of 0.1%. In the previous quarter, the economy contracted 0.1%.(3)
France, the region's second-biggest economy, announced anemic third-quarter GDP growth of 0.3%; it's the fastest pace in more than a year—but still, nothing to really celebrate. The country's unemployment rate is still near 10%, twice that of Germany's. As in any major economy, high unemployment cuts into consumption and economic growth.
Italy, the third-largest economy in the eurozone, returned to a recession in the third quarter after its economy fell 0.1%—the 13th consecutive quarter that it has failed to grow.
Japan, the world's third-largest economy, fell more deeply into a recession in the third quarter at an annual rate of 1.9%.(4)
Russia, a country that derives 16% of its GDP from oil and gas, is being hit especially hard by falling oil prices…and political sanctions. Lower oil prices have erased tens of billions of dollars in market cap from Russia's biggest oil and gas companies.
Inflation is on the rise and Russia's central bank has raised its key interest five times this year, from 5.5% at the beginning of 2014 to 10.5% today. And the ruble has plummeted 40% against the U.S. dollar since the start of 2014. Perhaps not surprisingly, Russia is expected to slip into a recession in 2015, as the economy contracts by 0.7%.(5)
There's only so much the U.S. consumer can do to support or carry the global economy. That's why predictions about the country's economic outlook in 2015 might be a little more gruesome than rosy.

Having worked out how to obtain the mouse click position anywhere along the monitor boundaries using low level hooks I receive an X Y coordinate that will contain a value typically between
x: -1680 to +1920 and
y: 0 to 1200 in my pcs case. Easy enough!
Now the problem is that I now want to calculate the mouse position relative to a given window that I have so I use
GetForegroundWindow() and
GetWindowRect(HandleRef hWnd, out RECT lpRect) to obtain my active window coordinates.
Where I am stuck is I require the current active desktop (By active I mean which monitor the click occurred on) to calculate the coordinates of my mouse click relative to a window.
Unfortunately I have not been able to find an API call like
GetActiveMonitor() or similar so hopefully someone can point me in the right direction?

Headed to San Diego Comic Con next week? Stop by @galleries1988's booth (5250) and pick up my #MadMax #FuryRoad poster: "GEARHEAD": 18" x 24" 3 color #screenprint, metallic silver and gold inks. It's super-limited to just 50 prints. This concept explores the theme of dehumanization, and objectification of people within the movie. Immortan Joe treats people like objects, and even he himself is being kept alive with machines. In the print, one half of Joe's face is literally made up of car parts and tools, in effect being almost completely made out of metal. Ride eternal on the highways of Valhalla, shiny and chrome!!!!! See you at #SDCC. #ImmortanJoe #WhoKilledTheWorld #SDCC2015 #art #design

My DH and I have been trying to conceive for about 1 1/2 years now. (It is so frustrating to see other people "accidentally" get pg, btw.) Anyhow, I am on my 3rd month of clomid, but we haven't had any success yet. Each month my dr has raised my dose. This last week I took 150mg, and the side effects were pretty interesting. (Hot flashes, visual trails. Yay! lol) I'm probably just being impatient, but what happens if clomid doesn't work for me? Is there another medicine they give in addition to clomid? If anyone else has been through this, I would appreciate any info you can give! .
What if clomid doesn't work for me?
Amanda (29) +Jonathan (31)= Married 7/17/04; Ava Grace born on 10/24/11 7lbs 11oz.
There is a lot past Clomid. Next steps are probably injectibles and/or IUI. Have you had any fertility testing? I had regular periods, but was not ovulating per the bloodwork. Also have some male factor issues. After a lot of testing, my doctor recommended Clomid 100mg, injectibles, and IUI. I am in my 2ww for my first IUI right now.
My husband has been tested and so have I. I have regular periods, too, but my bloodwork also said I was not ovulating. It's good to know there is something else just in case. How long were you on clomid before they changed your medication?
Amanda (29) +Jonathan (31)= Married 7/17/04; Ava Grace born on 10/24/11 7lbs 11oz.
I did 3 rounds of clomid.. 50mg, 100mg, then 200mg. I only ever ovulated on the 200mg and I felt like crap the whole time. She wanted me to try the 200mg again since I ovulated, but I asked her if I could just skip straight to injectables, and she said yes.
First round of injectables with IUI got me prego, and I didnt have ANY side effects! (Except for a little bloating in my tummy from the stimulated ovaries) but otherwise I felt fine mood wise.
Really? No side effects on injectables? The side effects on my 150mg of clomid weren't unbearable, but I think they might be if they raise my dose again...
Amanda (29) +Jonathan (31)= Married 7/17/04; Ava Grace born on 10/24/11 7lbs 11oz.
aj- you could also try Femara. My RE says it works very well for women, even if clomid didn't. And it's not as expensive as injectables. Just thought I would throw that out there if you're not ready for injectables yet.
If you do not hope, you will not find what is beyond your hopes.
Clomid (50mg) worked for me after only 2 cycles (this was 4 yrs ago). I now have a healthy 3 yr old.
However, I'm now on my 4th month of Clomid and just got another BFN. I haven't gotten a + OPK yet. Like you, I'm also losing hope and wondering what the next steps (if any) will be.
I have PCOS and tried naturally for a long time before using Clomid the first time. Since it happened so fast, I assumed it would be easy again. Boy was I wrong. Now I'm back to the monthly devestation and panic-driven over giving my DS a sibling.I feel for you!
Thanks for the posts! I hadn't heard of Femara. I will have to ask my dr about it when I see her this month.
Kelly, I completely understand how you feel! I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up that the clomid would work immediately, I guess. When will I learn to be patient?
Amanda (29) +Jonathan (31)= Married 7/17/04; Ava Grace born on 10/24/11 7lbs 11oz.
def try femara!!! i just did my 1st cycle of femara after 3 on clomid. it has less side effects and for me it produced larger follicles and that was on the lowest dose!!
Does anyone know if a OBGYN will prescribe Femera or only a RE? So far, I've only seen my OBGYN for interfility.
The best thing to do is not sit back and let the dr's continue to expirement with doses since you can only use clomid for a certain amount of months. I'm 39 and after 3 unsuccessful tries with clomid, we made an appointment just to meet with our fertility specialist. I picked up a few books before the appointment "Getting Pregnant" and "A few good eggs". I made sure I knew exactly what I wanted to do next. At the appointment I said to the NP that the clomid is not working, it's time to move on. She was completely receptive and even suggested the same plan that I read about in the books. We did one round of injectibles (Menopur) with a trigger shot and then had an IUI and we got pregnant the first try.
Dont' give up and don't leave it all in the Dr's hands. Take control of your own fertility!
Good luck!

The Insiders' Case For A Stock Market Mini-Crash
Submitted by Charles Hugh-Smith of OfTwoMinds blog,
The trade only works if everyone is lulled into staying on the long side until it's too late.
Let's try a thought experiment: suppose we're players in the stock market, Wall Street insiders with real leverage and connections to the Fed. You know, the kind of player who can reverse a decline in the S&P 500 with an order (executed through a proxy) for thousands of call options on the SPX.
Retail participants tend to forget we make money on both the long and short side. The small-fry who provide liquidity always assume a sharp decline in equities is a terrible thing because "everybody is losing their gains," and this general belief is pushed by the mainstream financial media: unfailingly chirpy news anchors' expressions and voices darken when reporting the rare drop in stocks: horrible, horrible, horrible, a drop means we all lose, I'm sad reporting this.
The players are laughing at this play-acting and the gullibility of the audience: insiders make huge gains when they engineer a sharp decline. It's not that difficult to manipulate the market when volume and volatility are low, especially in an age where quant-bot trading machines are programmed to follow trends.
It's also easy to hype stocks publicly while selling (distributing) your shares at the top to unwary punters who believe the PR (the Fed has your back, thanks to the Fed's quantitative easing (QE), the market will never go down, etc.).
But pushing the melt-up higher gets more difficult when the market gets heavy. Markets get heavy when participation thins (i.e. fewer stocks are leading the advance), speculative sectors are rolling over as the crowd of greater fools shrinks and volume on up days keeps declining.
When the markets get heavy, the easy-profits trade is get short and engineer a sharp decline. Nudging a heavy market into a free-fall has a number of advantages to players, other than the gratifying profits from being short equities and long volatility.
1. The Fed needs a decline to "prove" it isn't pushing markets higher, further enriching the already obscenely rich. A thoroughly corrupted Congress is finally awakening to the public rage over the Federal Reserve's blatant enrichment of the few at the expense of the many, and as a result, the Fed has a serious PR problem: Janet Yellen may be a lot of things, but a believable actress isn't one of them. Her performance claiming the Fed acts only on behalf of widows, orphans, Mom, apple pie and the merchants lining Main Street was laughably inauthentic.
A sharp decline would demonstrate that the Fed isn't controlling the market to enrich the insiders--even though a sharp decline would only benefit the insiders who engineered the drop. Heh. No need to be churlish about it. Where's your sense of humor?
2. A mini-crash would panic the herd into selling, enabling insiders to scoop up shares on sale. This is of course the classic insider play: unload enough shares to blow off all the sell stops (i.e. orders to sell if price drops to specified level), which extends the decline and reinforces the panic-selling.
3. Never give a sucker an even break. After two years without a meaningful correction and complacency at multi-year highs, how much profit is there left in pushing an increasingly heavy market up another few percentage points? The big money is in engineering a decline that catches the crowd by surprise and doesn't allow the traders a chance to board the short-bus before it roars out of the station.
Many traders are confident the market will broadcast a technical signal that will give them a chance to get on the short bus with the insiders. How likely is this? If we're engineering a decline, why would we spoil the trade by letting a bunch of peasants get on board? With every quant-bot programmed to recognize all the usual technical signals and systems, why telegraph the trade?
As legendary stock trader/manipulator Jesse Livermore observed, the market will take the fewest possible number of participants along for the ride, and expecting the market to issue a "go short now for easy profits" signal would violate this rule: if everybody shifts from the long side to the short side, the trade is no longer profitable.
The trade only works if everyone is lulled into staying on the long side until it's too late. Traders seem to be waiting for another standard-issue decline in September/October that would set up yet another standard-issue Santa Claus rally. Will it really be this easy to book profits in the second half? When everybody expects the same thing to unfold, it's just another form of complacency.
Complacency--and the confidence that you can beat a confidence game by following what everybody else is following--is dangerous.

I've come to the conclusion that the best way to know what's going to happen next is to follow the mainstream media. You don't have to believe it, just read it, because its purpose is to direct the behavior of the majority, and its very good at its job. So for example, reading here, there's all kinds of doubt as to what happened with MH17, but the MSM story is clear - Putin did it, and the West needs to intervene militarily. So there will be a war, because that's the story that's been sold. Knowing the facts doesn't help predict the future, following the narrative does.
So with regards to the market, well, as long as the official media story is that all's well in the market, then the markets will go up, and you could be on the wrong side of that trade for the right reasons for a long fucking time. Better to wait for the initial crash, then let the official narrative get unpleasant, and then switch to the short-side, anything else is fighting the most merciless propaganda juggernaut in human history.
I was away over the weekend with some buddies on a guy trip. Everyone on the trip concluded that Russia was directly behind the malaysian flight being downed. So I took the other side of the trade. After everyone was done ridicluling me I asked them what made them so sure it was Russia. "It had to be!" was all I got. I said "so you require no evidence to come to your conslusion?". "Whatever dude, you and your bs conspiracy theories...." was the canned response.
So a few mins later some stupid commercial comes on showing the footage of the moon landing and I said "clearly that was filmed in a studio". One of my buddies was like "yeah...you know I am starting to think there is something funny with that". Once he said that the other guys conceded that they are not so sure about it. I did the Tom Hanks money pit laugh. That was all I could do.
Exactly my point. I don't need to believe anything I see on MSM, but if I want to know what most other people believe, and what will be used as the basis for whatever action the government's going to take next, that's my best source. I was on a sales call in 2003 in Ohio with a KPMG consultant (I think it was KPMG, these fuckers change their names so often it's hard to tell) and he was expounding to me the virtues of going into Iraq to kick Saddam Hussein's ass for blowing up the towers. You want the majority to believe something, just get Fox and CNN to tell slightly different versions (red-team blue-team versions) of the same story, and that's all it takes.
Jeez, you guys have gotten really cynical. How could that have happened to you?
It's... It's the HERD MENTALITY.
The MSM binding makes for strength, for all the wrong reasons.
Just my .02 sense? cents? scents?
We lived through Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush 1.0, Clinton, Bush 2.0, and the current dipshit.
Whoa there Phart! 914 days to go on the current dipshit.
Guys... Check this out. Note the convoluted wording:
On CBS, Kerry also said that "there's enormous amount of evidence . . . that points to the involvement of Russia in providing these [antiaircraft] systems, training the people on them." And he said that the United States "saw the launch" of a missile from rebel-held territory in eastern Ukraine and recorded its trajectory at the time the plane disappeared from radar.
So stalwart SecState says that missiles launched from rebel territory. Yes, they were supplied by Russia (most likely)... But so the fuck what?
Missile launched from Rebel Territory.
By word of US Govt.
You have more patience than i. I cant stand to watch them. If their lips are moving its a lie, misdirection or BS.
So they have tapes recording radar for no good reason all of sudden but let the flight go anyway? Is there tape rolling on the radar following the first Malaysian one-way flight to bottom of the ocean?
Here's my take on things:
Putin sold rocket launchers to the Ukrainian government.
The Ukrainian government failed to adequately secure the rocket launchers.
Rebel seperatists obtained the rocket launchers and gave them to fools in their own army to operate.
Someone decided that MH17 was to fly through airspace where aircraft was being shot down.
Here's what I want:
Sanctions against Putin for selling rocket launchers to entities who were unable to secure the rocket launchers. This 'Putin's finger was on the trigger' is just hysterical gibberish. Don't sanction him for killing 298 people onboard a civilian jet; sanction him for giving fools Russian-made weapons. He seems the sort who will understand sanctions for the weapons but will dismiss any perceived hysteria altogether.
I want the testicals of the Ukrainian government official who failed to adequately secure the rocket launchers. I want said testicals bronzed, mounted, and hung from the ceiling of the UN.
I want the testicals of the Rebel seperatist who gave the rocket launchers to fools, again bronzed, mounted and hung from the ceiling of the UN.
I want the fools who fired the rocket launchers to be eviscerated and their testicals bronzed, mounted and hung from the ceiling of the UN.
I want the individual who made the call to have MH17 fly through dangerous airspace to be locked in a room with the family members of those who died on MH17. I want the family members to be told who they will be locked into a room with.
As weapons get more and more dangerous, they will more and more be used by fools who have no common sense and liberally use the word 'oooooops'. The damage done by these weapons held by fools will get greater and greater, so there must be enough punishment inflicted so that other packs of fools go 'maaaaaaybe we won't use these' when presented with the really dangerous weapons.
Personally, I think it was civilians that shot it down by accident when they were looting the abandoned launcher.
Joystick with big red button meets hand.
Then I want their testicals, bronzed, mounted, and hung from the UN ceiling.
Didja see the vid when civs found the abandoned APC?
Once a gamer, always a gamer.
Linky please. somebody?
I believe that it may have been a USAF F-117 Stealth Fighter that knocked that plane out of the sky.
The truth is that we do not know what in the hell happened.
I cannot believe any Government Official, foreign or domestic, about anything at this point. They have lied over the many decades so many times that anything they utter (or shall I say udder, Knucles???) is absolutely incredible...lacking completely in veracity.
Case in point...NINE ELEVEN.
Need I write more?
Way off topic. But ok: MH-17 was canceled that day.
Wanna take a guess which aircraft was shot down? And why eyewitness accounts from the crash site stated the bodies were in advanced stages of decomposition?
Why do you think those buildings are so tall in Manhattan? "Greatest show on Earth" was invented there.
Not only are you and I at a disadvantage in arguing for evidence...but by the time something comes along to disprove the meme "the lie is already the truth" and people ignore it.
This article is a case in point in how otherwise really smart people would still prefer you believe complete and total bullshit than anything based on actual EVIDENCE.
Treasury investors such as myself got HAMMERED.
That's the EVIDENCE that I know this is true!
But I stuck with the play because I still believed in the EVIDENCE.
And "the act" (Taper) that was causing me to lose money was NOT destroying the thesis. (Mid cycle slowdown, bullish trade going back to 1983.). In fact I thought the Fed response would help me as this was clearly not bullish for the economy...and with a runaway "war mongering effort" going on six years now "bearing fruit" I thought...well, none of the parents who have kids of fighting age (or the political class for that matter) seem concerned about vets or their war fighters ("your just canon fodder" is all I've been told since I've returned) well, why not bet on a "long Eastern Front Campaign and the trillions in issuance that would be required for everyone to get rich off it."
Hit a home run last week by staying tight with this stance...and strongly believe "his party is just getting started."
We definitely have a huge asset bubble. But this bubble doesn't bode well for the gold bugs. It indicates a Fed trying to escape froma deflationary blackhole. And good luck with that. Then again, what do I know. Bitchez.
Why do you think those buildings are so tall in Manhattan? "Greatest show on Earth" was invented there.
In the voice of the Sprint Hamster, "Yes. That's why those buildings are so tall in Manhattan."
Same as it ever was. War is the answer. Cause Russia is leading the charge in devaluing the dollar. The party's about to be over. We need a huge distraction. And more profits for the fucking warmongers.
Sunday morning shows make me want to vomit. Those lackey news talking head should go to Colorado and get the plague
We have a CURRENCY BUBBLE. We have an out of control DERIVATIVES MARKET BUBBLE.
That is at the very core. That does not bode well for ANY FIAT CURRENCY...especially the US DOLLAR.
Looking forward to the complete destruction of the FRAUD. That is what the honest man seeks. He seeks a return to TRUTH.
My vote is a complete lack of CONFIDENCE. I vote NO CONFIDENCE by opting out and storing my wealth in Gold.
So you, being a dishonest man, can have all of the confidence in FRAUD as you may like. You will reap the destruction which you sow.
Enjoy your dismal and abtsmal existence before you face Hellfire.
russia was winning; why in the world would they shoot down a civilian airliner????????
God rest to the souls of all who perished and prayers to all those directly affected with this massacre. It might be a little too early to assign blame or decide who is ultimately responsible with the Malaysian jet liner downing. But all the direct evidence that I've heard and read would show the separatists downing this and other airplanes recently. The why now is what causes people to yell conspiracy. I have found that this younger generation has become skeptical of nearly everything. Maybe rightly so. However, you have to admit sometimes what you see is what you get and not everything has to be a conspiratorial outcome.
Say you buy into the conspiracy theories. What good does that do anyone on either side? Does this draw the US further into the Ukraine? Maybe it does but not under Obama. Is this a way of drawing the US and Russia into WWIII. I don't think it will.
Btw I junked you for saying the US didn't land on the moon. The process of getting to the moon took many decades and I was old enough to see it all unfold. Also, tomorrow is the 45th anniversary of the landing and I can remember it all like it was yesterday.
Still pisses me off to this very day that Obama shutdown the shuttle program and not one person in the media questioned it. The space program is what made this country different. Just goes to show you how far down the wrong road the US is going with this current president and some prior that people can't even envision the US being able to land someone on the moon.
Stand up for what you believe but just be aware that not everything is a conspiracy.
You should hang around with some more 'enlightened' friends.
There will be no war, at least not one involving American troops.
Russia will take half of Ukraine.
Europe will cry, but not much.
This guy is an imbecile. The graph clearly shows you are to BTFD at 1900.
Even if the whole world crashes, CNBS will still tout US markets as the least come stained panties in the basket
Al Huxley = stepping through the Looking-Glass where the real and the false interleave like confronting mirrors forever. It takes some impressive flexion of the mind to pull that off. +1 Al.
The SnP appears to be rounding with dwindling volume ... that can only mean new highs coming and right soon.
I personally have no faith and cannot hold a long position. I can only go short. Therefore I have quit playing. I am not made for this game.
I am stacking and learning other skills.
That's probably a smart thing to do. I'm thinking of disconnecting completely from the internet - the only thing is that its so useful for routine (say work-related, technical) research, weather forecasts, maps, etc.
al huxley...if you disconnect from the internet, which i completely understand, you will be sorely missed here.
S&P 2000 is a sure thing
Buy the new highs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are no dips!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ah, but this is precisely what's so befuddling: assuming shorter-term algo traders and investment banks can do whatever they want, the fact that they've rarely engineered even a modest 5+ hour decline in years suggests that a constant bid from a) sloshing POMO$; b) corp buybacks; c) long-only retirement fund manager allocations; d) etc. is making the clichéd "path of least resistance" easier to ramp than fade. Should that ever change, replacing the "BUYs" in their code with "SELLS" & flip-flopping their intraday fake-out levels and VIX/JPY/VWAP chicanery could be re-coded by an intern over a long lunch, encouraged by a 20 oz. JOLT Cola. They'd instantly do whatever produced more profit. Time to face it, short-mavens: they're just not into you … at least not yet.
We've already had a huge correction in biotechs.
The author doesn't even mention it.
Of what value is the article if the author can't provide the evidence that supports his claim?
And the answer is ZERO value (let alone "validity.")
Simply put to be something other than a know nothing...why not start with correction that has already just happened...followed by the dramatic recover in these same high beta names...and then put forth a LOGICAL argument that says "the correction we just had will repeat"?
Instead you get a classic rookie argument (here and everywhere) claiming BOTH time (now) AND DIRECTION (in his case "down.")
Sorry but clearly this author has neither traded nor invested for a living. I ignore timing the market buy always being bullish but "allocated differently."
You can also do the same thing from the short (bearish) side...but most of those folks are dead now. "They get War By Israel."
WE are Zimbabwe now. No downside allowed. To the moon but worthless.
They can't pull the plug completely WWIII hasn't started yet
While they're still ramping things up for the big show a noticeable downturn or two would be good diversions
If the MH17 crash can divert attention away from Israel's blitzkrieg into Palestine what will the market mini-nukes be used to cover other than theft?
Read immediately
That S&P chart would be something to celebrate if we still had a production base, career employment, the 1st and 4th Amendment, a balanced budget, and the FED wasn't $17 TRILLION dollars in the hole.
Anyone arguing that this can go on indefinitely after the engineered bubble and crash leading up to 2008, and our subsequent pursuit of the SAME DAMN THING all over again - after bailing out the bastards - needs to have their head examined.
had to look up churlish. other than that i got nothing from this. i need 500 words to explain the old pump and dump? nigga please. since banks supposedly aren't prop trading anymore what would be the point? sure, they would like moar trading volume, and they have trash on their books they'd like to sell but a crash doesn't benefit them or their stock options. as for politics the fed nor the congreff gives a flying rat fuck what the public thinks. you think they'll crash the market to make the poor people happy? don't make me laugh.
Only decent article on ZH that hints at how Wall St. REALLY works, and always has. The lousy partisan narratives (valuations schmaluations...) by the sell-side, the accumulation on the cheap and distribution on the rallies. That IS and HAS ALWAYS BEEN the ONLY Game in town. Or at least 80% of it. Sometimes things go awry, but that's human nature.. and pathetic politics. Sometimes things don't go as planned (cause predictions and projections are for sell-side suckers, let's be clear...) and humans most extreme and powerful feelings do the rest of job.
And the smart money of Wall St is a master at the Art.
SERIOUS consistent distribution on the broad markets has been going on for more than 14 months (ever since May 22nd-23rd 2013, more or less...). Timing is always the issue, and there will be choppy volatility, WallSt NEVER makes it easy, but the risk-reward trade is to the downside now. Or soon.
Completely plausible. Lagarde, Yellen, et al seem to be telegraphing this in recent statements.
Congress has no power over learner, or Holden. Everyone knows Congress is a puppet with a limp dick. Just there for show. Congresses only real purpose is to be a distribution point for the sale of power, and corruption.
Do overs. That all you need to know about stock market investing.
I am ignoring the premise of this article. PE's and valuations so far out of whack even institutional investors now losing confidence. As me tioned here before, I'll look at stocks again in 2016.
I agreed ugliness lies ahead. I love the way it is always being kicked out a year or two and never going to happen tomorrow. It is as if we can't handle what is coming at us and need more time.
For a long time I have been trying to develop a scenario for a market "super crash" and a reasonable map that would arrive at such a situation. Below is an article looking at how it could happen sooner rather than later.
Unpalatable to the small guys but the reality is that the money of the 1% is better advised. The 1% is straitjacketed by their money managers to be "risk on". The HFs that are worthy of mention are paranoid over liquidity for each trade they place.
Of course, some well controlled unleveraged portion is coming out of these portfolios to keep the gas flowing for leveraged muppets (term used by the TBTF snake oil salesmen) to chase yields in illiquid segments and respond to contrived volltility. This good article just speak of one real contrivance.
The top 1% meantime have other savannahs to prey and shall only return when there are more juicy preys and not carcasses.

Joe Sakic's shot was one in a million. Or at least it was worth a million.
The former Avalanche great's first hole-in-one — on the par-3 17th hole at the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship at Lake Tahoe on Sunday — was worth a $1 million bonus from tourney sponsor American Century, with the stipulation that half the prize go to its primary charity benefactor, Lance Armstrong's Livestrong Foundation for cancer research.
"That's a shot you never imagine hitting," Sakic told the media afterward. "I've never even been close before."
Sakic used an 8-iron for the ace on the 167-yard hole.
"If you're going to do it, why not here?" he said. "When it went in, I didn't believe it."
Sakic couldn't tell at first if the ball went in the cup, but jumped in the air with his arms raised when he got the official word. He exchanged high-fives with his playing partners, former NFL quarterback Trent Dilfer and ex-major-league pitcher Greg Maddux.
Sakic finished tied for 11th. John Elway tied for 15th.


text: Hey neighbor, have you heard? Wal-Mart be a-comin' to Auburn. Yup, seems as though the city fathers got snookered by the big city developer types. They thought they were going to bring a Saks Fifth Avenue and new opera house to town but we be getting a Wally World instead. They be a-saying it's going to devastate other city business and could even shut down places like the Weimar and Iowa Hill grocery stores. While the check-out lines at the local Bel Air, Safeway, Save-Mart etc. may be a minute or two shorter, I predict none will shutter their doors as most of us who currently frequent them for who they are and what they provide will continue to do so. I would not be surprised to see one of the current big chain drug stores go under as I suspect it is already close to doing so with or without Wal-Mart. And while the current daily red-light-to-red-light gridlock on Highway 49 may be exacerbated by a few minutes at certain times of the day, it will provide additional time for the tax-free income (hey buddy, can you spare some change) sign crowd to pick off some additional money before it leaves the county lines going to or coming from the daily "enhance your government pension" grind. The good news is we know that money will stay local. What the heck, if we can pull some of that underground marijuana money out of the canyons of Nevada and El Dorado counties even if it is spent at Wal-Mart it may help offset the big financial losses to the county coffers being predicted for South Placer County Los Lagos area as Kings players continue to default on their mortgages and/or leave the area for the really Big Wally World called Southern California. Thankfully we still live in a country where we have the right to choose where and when we shop, at least for a while, the way the nanny state is progressing. Although our household choice will be not to shop at Wal-Mart, I respect their right to open a store and the citizens' right to shop there. Rich Maye, Newcastle

Commish For A Day #11: Realignment II, By Value
Since it is about the money, it's mildly amazing we made it this far without this suggestion • realignment based on what each franchise is worth.
This is fully acknowledged as the bleatings of a beaten Blue Jays fan trying to rationalize his younger self's shortsighted team-picking (they were really good in the '80s, plus I'm Canadian). It seems to be a consensus here that baseball is in need of realignment, but the scenario floated here the other day kept the Jays in the AL East with two-thirds of Mt. YankRaysSox . No disrespect, but that won't do.
One problem with the three-division format and unbalanced schedule is that it gives some of the franchises, considering their financial clout, a softer road toward contention.
In 2006, the St. Louis Cardinals (ninth in the most recent Forbes MLB Valuation) got in the playoffs with 83 wins. The L.A. Dodgers (fourth) got in with 84 last season. The Seattle Mariners were able to contend in the AL West for most of 2007, even though they weren't a very good team (as 2008 proved).… Click here to read the rest
Commish For A Day #10: Stadium financing, WBC
Commish For A Day #9: Balanced Schedule, InterLeague
My one move would be to eliminate interleague play. Here are the repercussions of its elimination.

Commish For A Day #8: Realignment
If I was commissioner for a day I would make two new teams. They can be from anywhere but two possibilities that I thought of are Nashville, Tennessee and Charlotte, North Carolina. I believe Major League teams could do well in these areas. There would then be 32 teams in the Majors. I would make 16 teams per league with 4 divisions in each league, all with 4 teams. It is one of the worse setups to have a different amount of teams in divisions. For a division to have 4 teams, most to have 5, and another to have 6 is just not fair around the league. This setup would eliminate the wildcard; there would be one winner from each division. Every team then would have a 25% chance to make the playoffs each year.
For a detailed look at what I would do please see the information below:
16 Teams in both leagues divided into two conferences and four divisions per league like listed below:
American League
Conference 1
Division 1
- Baltimore Orioles
- New York Yankees
- Boston Red Sox
- Toronto Blue Jays
