Catherine Malandrino's first fragrance is launching exclusively through Birchbox—and it's made for mingling.
Catherine Malandrino
Availability: In stock
When we seek out a new perfume, we prefer to go with one that's layered and complex like we are (if something is going to define us, then it better represent, right?). This scent from fashion designer Catherine Malandrino hits all the right notes with a playful yet sophisticated oriental fragrance mixed with fun fruits (think: Italian Mandarin, ruby red grapefruit, and Nashi pear). Like her renowned, sought-after designs, its the perfect blend of chic Parisian style and the infectious energy of New York City.
Alcohol Denat. (SD Alcohol 40B), Fragrance/Parfum, Water/Aqua, Butylated Hydroxytoluene, Uvinul M-40/Benzophenone 3, Linalool, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, D-Limonene, Hexyl Cinnamal, Citronellol, Geraniol, Coumarin, Benzyl Benzoate, Benzyl Salicylate
This was too too strong for me. I felt it was slightly sophisticated but musky like a men's cologne. Not for me.
I love the smell of this perfume. I would purchase this if it weren't so expensive. If you have the money, buy it.
I am not really into fragrances, so when I got this in my box I wasn't too thrilled. I ended up liking the fragrance though. It isn't too strong and has a spicy/floral scent.
I would pay $110 for this. It was a very pleasant surprise when I got this in my first Birchbox. Highly impressed and set the standard for the rest of my boxes and I haven't been disappointed since.
This fragrance is just not for me, I don't usually go for an oriental type smell. It would be great on some people but just not me. It is of high quality.
It was ok. The scent is way too strong for a summer fragrance. It might be ok for the winter. The scent is heavy and a bit "old lady." It doesn't work for me, but might for you.
Very nice scent! MAIN ACCORDS: fruity, white floral, sweet
patchouli, aquatic, citrus. Moderate sillage and moderate longevity. Lasted on me for about 6 hrs. Very nice development of the scent.
The scent was way too strong for my liking. I felt it was sophisticated but musky like a men's cologne.
I really loved this perfume! My only complaint was that there wasn't a huge amount (the normal little spray bottle sample size).
This was not my cup of tea. I could smell it as soon as I opened my box. Let me say that I AM NOT A PERFUME person though. I navigate toward clean, lightly scented body mists since I can't stand a floral/musky/heavy smell. Sadly, this went straight in the garbage.

Sent out EDDMs
Sent out 2500 EDDMs yesterday and have not reicieved any call backs as of yet. I know that 2500 is not that much and thinking about sending out another batch. Anyone have any advice on anything specific to put on EDDMs to get the most return. A buddy of mine did 5000 with a 3rd month free mow if signed up for a year and only got 3 calls so far. Any advice or suggestions would be apperciated. Also do you think it best to send out another batch to same area in a few weeks or try targeting other neighborhoods.
I sent out only 1000 so far and only received 1 call for a service that i don't do (spraying). Going to send out more next week when i get paid from my part time job.

"Keep it stupid simple"
i just sent out 30k and have 50k more to send out. My phone and email has been ringing pretty good so far. I think the piece is 8.5*11 you cant miss them. If they cant see them they will toss them. have a strong offer and youll succeed!
We have had a .003% return rate. But for us that's good because there is no other way that we can obtain leads for clients. Im in the field most often so I don't have time to go door to door knocking or time to meet with people at Chamber meetings. When im not working in the field I am spending time with my two kids & not spending time handing out flyers in paper boxes.
You don't even get a single call on 10k flyers? We sent out 10k of our 20k and netted us 20 new customers. Having a solid offer is key. Sending out EDDM with a "First mowing free" Isn't going to cut it. What are you willing to give away to be absolutely sure you're going to get customers?
3rd month free? I would offer the first month free--you will get a lot more calls. And it costs the same.
Also send a coupon for a free mowing or freebie of some kind--free soil test, half-price aeration, free bush planted, free flat of flowers planted...with estimate.
After all--you want them to call you. You will earn it back many times over--if you do a good job and keep them as a customer.
Also you may want to try to give them a coupon for a freebie at another small business. If they call they get a freebie for a free small pizza. Half-price haircut? Sharpen mower blade?
Small businesses may be willing to provide the coupon for free--after all, it brings in a customer--who will become a regular if they like the food or service.
ef20098: We don't offer any free or discounted services. Our goal is not to be the bargain based company. Our ideal client & the clients we work for are to busy with their executive jobs to be enticed by a "offer"
Our average home is in the 1 million + range. We offer contract only services and strive to average between 1-2K dollars a month per customer when possible. Not all of our clients spend this of coarse but alot of our new clients do. Between their lawn maintenance and constant rotation of plants & flowers. When people spend that kind of money offering a free cut is like calling them low class.
I've said this in many other posts. We have over 10,000 landscapers in our 50 sq. mile radius city. So there is dense competition. We can easily send out 5K EDDM post cards and get 15 calls. Of those 15 calls we will pre-qualify them on the phone and maybe actually visit 7-10 of those properties.
I think we get even lower then 0.003% return lately. In March we sent out 7,500 EDDM post cards that were printed by two of the well known printers on this website. I received 3 phone calls.....out of those I received 1 client.

Summary: Plotter Kill Preserve is a nature preserve near Rotterdam, NY. The Plotter Kill, a tributary of the Mohawk River, flows through a very rugged gorge. The forest here contains a mix of hardwoods and confiers. There are three beautiful waterfalls. The Upper Falls is 60 feet; the Lower Falls and the Rynex Creek Falls are both 40 feet.
Start on the red trail near the kiosk. Take the side trail (blue) which will take you to lookouts over the Upper and Lower falls.
Continue on the red trail which crosses the Kill on a foot bridge. You will pass by the Upper and Lower falls. The trail goes down a switchback taking you to the top of the falls on the Rynex creek. Cross the creek here.
If you have ample time, you can follow the red trail to the end of the preserve near the Thruway. There is a cascading waterfall there. I opted to turn around shortly after crossing the power lines for this trip.
Trailhead: Take Interstate 90 (Thruway) to Exit 25A (Interstate 88). Take first exit ramp right after the toll booth. At the light, turn left onto NY Route 7 (East). After about 1/2 mile, turn left onto NY Rte 337 (North). Turn left at next light on NY Route 159 (West). Drive for 3.5 miles to parking area on the right - just past Coplon Rd.

The worst marked trail I have been on in 40 years....basically IMPOSSIBLE to follow. I was just glad to make it out. The on line map is completely wrong and useless. I would NOT recommend this hike to anyone who is not personally familiar with the trail system here (or lack thereof) I know it is volunteer, but still!

I'm torn between loving this and hating it. I've hiked the trails twice, and got lost both times. The area is beautiful scenery wise, and I didn't find the trails especially difficult physically, but had a really hard time getting back to the Coplon trailhead from the red loop. this last trip (Labor Day 2015) while hiking with my 4yo daughter and dog, we were swarmed by honey bees, not once but twice. It was a terrifying ordeal, and really puts me off ever going back. I don't know if it was the weather, the season, or what but I left with ~20 stings and my daughter had 8-10. The first half of the red loop seemed well marked, but the signs indicating the way back to Coplon dead ended at the creek, where the bees got us the second time.

I love this hike, although I call this more of a creek stomp/wander then a hike. The creek is beautiful, great for looking under rocks, finding frogs and newts, and just cooling off. The 2 big falls are a plus. The trail from Coplon Road off of Rt 159, is not marked at all, but if you follow the well beaten path, and with a tiny bit of exploring, follow the creek AND trail to the falls. However in the last year, I've seen this place become trashed. Lots of trash litter the creek and trails, and its sad to see. Please if you do go there, Carry Out what you Carried In. Don't wreck this beautiful paradise! This isn't just a hike, wear water shoes to go into the creek, as you will have to cross it to follow the trail(beware of broken gla
Reviewed by Francis on 8/23/2015
We turned around without seeing the falls we were headed for due to about 20 gunshots in the woods. Disappointing that someone is so selfish as to be shooting on or near a public trail. The hike was otherwise enjoyable.

Poooorly Marked!, especially where forks in the paths occurred. Very unpleasant, sloppy walking terrain. Also, poorly maintained paths. Most of the time was unsure of where the "F" we were and I've had a lifetime of hiking experience. Green should not be listed as a trail, as it's the parks entire border. It's indicated as the long trail, which it turns out to be as you have many miles of road walking if you choose to follow the Long trail! No park maps to take along the trails. Thank God phones have GPS! Overall...don't bother. Head toward another region in New York for better hiking!!!

I love this Place! Maybe it's because I've been going there since I was a teenager that I've never gotten lost, or it could be that when we go we always leave the trail and explore. I've been bringing my kids here since they were little (in baby carriers) and to this day it's their favorite place to go hiking. The trails are beautiful...the waterfalls even more so. My favorite time to go is in the spring/summer (it's our Mother's day outing)when the water is flowing and the kids (now 14 &9) can play in the creek, and stand under the waterfalls. I also love to go in the winter (around mid-late Jan ) when the falls are frozen...you do need to be extremely careful during the winter, but the sight of the waterfalls frozen is a must see!

Gloating China Says "Has Every Right To Demand US Address Its Debt Problem", Asks For New Global Reserve Currency
China has released a scathing op-ed in Xinhua, the official Chinese news agency, in which the authors waste no time to humiliate a "debt-ridden Uncle Sam" following the S&P downgrade, in the most violent surge in the recent war of words between the ascendent and descendent superpowers. Some choice selections: "Dagong Global, a fledgling Chinese rating agency, degraded the U.S. treasury bonds late last year, yet its move was met then with a sense of arrogance and cynicism from some Western commentators. Now S&P has proved what its Chinese counterpart has done is nothing but telling the global investors the ugly truth", "China, the largest creditor of the world's sole superpower, has every right now to demand the United States to address its structural debt problems and ensure the safety of China's dollar assets." It doesnt stop there, "[the US] should also stop its old practice of letting its domestic electoral politics take the global economy hostage and rely on the deep pockets of major surplus countries to make up for its perennial deficits." China takes the opportunity to give the US a little lecture on a broken way of life: "All Americans, both beltway politicians and those on Main Street, have to do some serious soul-searching to bring their country back from a potential financial abyss." And lastly, China once again gets back to its pissing contest about whose reserve currency is bigger: "International supervision over the issue of U.S. dollars should be introduced and a new, stable and secured global reserve currency may also be an option to avert a catastrophe caused by any single country." Just wild fun. Read the whole thing below.
From Xinhua:
After historic downgrade, U.S. must address its chronic debt problems
The days when the debt-ridden Uncle Sam could leisurely squander unlimited overseas borrowing appeared to be numbered as its triple A-credit rating was slashed by Standard & Poor's (S&P) for the first time on Friday.
Though the U.S. Treasury promptly challenged the unprecedented downgrade, many outside the United States believe the credit rating cut is an overdue bill that America has to pay for its own debt addition and the short-sighted political wrangling in Washington.
Dagong Global, a fledgling Chinese rating agency, degraded the U.S. treasury bonds late last year, yet its move was met then with a sense of arrogance and cynicism from some Western commentators. Now S&P has proved what its Chinese counterpart has done is nothing but telling the global investors the ugly truth.
China, the largest creditor of the world's sole superpower, has every right now to demand the United States to address its structural debt problems and ensure the safety of China's dollar assets.
To cure its addiction to debts, the United States has to reestablish the common sense principle that one should live within its means.
S&P has already indicated that more credit downgrades may still follow. Thus, if no substantial cuts were made to the U.S. gigantic military expenditure and bloated social welfare costs, the downgrade would prove to be only a prelude to more devastating credit rating cuts, which will further roil the global financial markets all along the way.
Moreover, the spluttering world economic recovery would be very likely to be undermined and fresh rounds of financial turmoil could come back to haunt us all.
The U.S. government has to come to terms with the painful fact that the good old days when it could just borrow its way out of messes of its own making are finally gone.
It should also stop its old practice of letting its domestic electoral politics take the global economy hostage and rely on the deep pockets of major surplus countries to make up for its perennial deficits.
A little self-discipline would not be too uncomfortable for the United States, the world's largest economy and issuer of international reserve currency, to bear.
Though chances for a full-blown U.S. default are still slim now, the S&P downgrade serves as another warning shot about the long-term sustainability of the U.S. government finances.
International supervision over the issue of U.S. dollars should be introduced and a new, stable and secured global reserve currency may also be an option to avert a catastrophe caused by any single country.
For centuries, it was the exuberant energy and innovation that has sustained America's role in the world and maintained investors' confidence in dollar assets. But now, mounting debts and ridiculous political wrestling in Washington have damaged America's image abroad.
All Americans, both beltway politicians and those on Main Street, have to do some serious soul-searching to bring their country back from a potential financial abyss.

Fuck China
and fuck sinophiles....
and allow me to elaborate because THIS comment got 10 thumbs up down thread...
"Fuck China. Fuck trade agreements. Raise tarriffs now. I will be happy to pay a little more for MADE IN AMERICA, in fact I already do so when I can. But good luck trying to find anything made by Americans except financial fraud"
Marc Faber once said that only beer and prostitues are made in USA now. You've got to do your part, dude.

China is the Plantation state for the decadent western world
Yeah, Fuck China, we financed their move into the first world by letting them have our manufacturing base then buying up all the cheap shit they could produce. Let them take the hit just like the rest of us.
China calling the USA over-spenders is the pot calling the kettle black. Bert Dohmen talks about China's own domestic currency over-printing and over- producing of materials just to keep its population from rioting. He says China will implode. Interview starts at about the 18:40 mark.
Fuck israel
Fuck thongs on dudes
So, you're copacetic with the bowtie and cuffs then?
Let me tell you about the state of the American people. they're like the dirty skank women in nyc who watch housewives of ny and say what a bunch of pathetic moneygrubbing sluts they are. millions of american hillbillies watch the hills have eyes and albino farm and comment how retarded they are. ONE WORD: DENIAL.
-17...wonder what Asian citizens are klikin the red arrow?
The era gets over and we really will feel the pinch in interest rates when China ends up with a mandate that they dont trust western credit rating agencies and any investment product has to be rated by Dagong ( or whatever their agency is called) to get any chinese investments into it.... that is the time we will see regular visits from members of the treasury and the fed to China trying to convince Dagong that US is still a AAA, AA+, AA- AA BB+..... over period of time.. with every incremental downgrade increasing the interest rate burden...
And history teaches us.. that sovereign creditors in international bonds are in for a different game.... remember the British Pound was the worlds reserve currency till the mid 1950's... that was till the day the USA stood up and said we are willing to lose ALL our investment made in the British Pound if that finishes your global regime and ends your control over the world as the reserve currency.. the action of the USA after that is history... The Pound, well it is only worth a Pound now..and the sun then set over the British empire
The point here is we should be worried how soon before China tells us they are willing to bear 1.5 trillion of losses in the treasury if that permanantly kills the USD as the reserve currency..
This hits home for me. I've been ruminating on how people don't understand that ratings agencies affect more than just US funds. World-wide there are funds with investment restrictions that are being boxed out from spending cash on our treasuries. Demand destruction is demand destruction, even if it starts as just a little bit at a time.
"How'd you go bankrupt." "Two ways, gradually and then suddenly." - Hemingway
Zat right? Well, then who buys their shit? If the USA & Europe go into the crapper, the Chinese will be the toilet paper....and if we start putting on tarriffs, they are dead meat.
Doesn't work like that. Are you actually asking who will buy their shit if they won't take our worthless paper and defaultable Treasuries???? They can sink the shit in the Pacific or bury it in the Gobi Desert. The net economic impact is exactly the same if you are seriously asking this question.
No. You are simply wrong. It works exactly like that.
A major decline in exports means major hardship for a poor country with virtually no safety nets for a huge, marginal population. China is vast. Too many Americans go to Hong Kong, and now some of the major cities on the mainland, and think China is some giant, self-sustaining economic engine.
Meanwhile, their leadership knows the difference, and they are scared to death of popular uprisings from inflation on the one hand, and economic slowdowns on the other. Either way, it has to do with putting food on the table in a billion homes, and keeping those homes heated in the winter. We have 1/4 the number of people, and our economy is 5 times larger.
And, by the way, if suddenly our paper is worthless, their vast dollar reserves mean double trouble for them. They MUST import most of the raw materials they consume....and have to pay for them with something. If you are Australia, for instance, and you see great social unrest looming in China, just how eager are you to accept payment in their currency?
We have plenty to worry about, and we are just about f**ked up to the max, but among the major developed nations, we are still the best of a bad lot. An argument could be made for Germany, but the have a very heavy stone around their neck called the EU. Canada is in good shape now, but still a relatively small economy with substantial dependence on the US.........have a good weekend ;-))

We're going to the Bancor, bitches.
Water empires like Western civilization can only be brought down by external forces. The game is on.
Are you shitting me? "Water empires"? Do you mean the west is fluid? Erm no. The West is relatively the new boys in town in the global world. You want "fluid" look to China, India, Iran, even African tribal people have survived it all for thousands of years.
The West doesn't need an external force to destroy it, it will destroy itself, through its own excesses. All the while, the poorer and more astute rest of the world chugs on by.
P.S. The west doesn't have any resources left, no oil and gas. It is the west that will need to invade and steal from others to stay on top. And if it does so, it will find those "brown savages" will end up destroying them. As was prophesised.
He probably means seafaring nations like the US. Yes, China, India and Africa have survived for thousands of years - and are virtually in the same cultural state they were thousands of years ago...all of there advancement has come in the last few decades after being 'opened' by the West. I'm not arguing that the West did 'good' only that the pace of advancement in the 'third world' is why we called it the third world.
P.S. - you're not just wrong on resources, you're stupidly wrong. China has virtually no resources beyond rare earth metals. India, can you name me their abundant raw materials? Africa has resources and that is why the Chinese are trying to access them, but Africa is still a basket case that could not develop those resources themselves.
The Western Hemisphere is one of the few areas of the world that could actually be resource self sustaining with some of the largest natural gas and oil reserves known. True, some of those resources are difficult to get a but there is also plenty of timber, arable farmland and other mining reources.
So, Will the West destroy itself througfh its own excess, maybe? Then again maybe we just got a wakeup call we can't avoid.
Thanks for restoring a little sanity to the conversation, Mark.
China is totally dependent on the US and Europe to keep theri evermore rstless population in check. Now that they have had a taste of freedom and properity, woe be unto the political class if that growth and expansion stop. Given a few more years, they just might build a middle class that can sustain their growth internally, but, as you point out, they must import so many raw materials that they can't become comfortably independent in the foreseeable future.
"and are virtually in the same cultural state they were thousands of years ago...all of there advancement has come in the last few decades after being 'opened' by the West."
What a sad and inherently colonialist attitude. China, India and Iran had advanced technical and cultural civilisations while Europe was still living in an age of glorified barbarian tribes. That might also be the case in the future too, the way things are going.
By the way, China has one of the largest coal reserves in the world.
Their coal is largely dirty, poor quality stuff....very little coking coal needed for industrial production, and last I checked, you can't eat it.
Yes, there were great Middle Eastern and India cltures, just as there were great Chinese cultures long, long ago. Too bad for them, they coud not adapt and adjust as history passed them by. That was then, this is now.
You call it "a sad and inherently colonialist attitude", but you can't deny the validity of his statement.
I junked you...without a junk button......idiot......

At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against it?-- Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step the Ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never!--All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth... in their military chest; with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years. At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide. -Lincoln

A collapsing US economy is bad for both host and parasite alike; is China paying attention?
China is worried that the US will pay its Treasuries off in highly devalued dollars. If that happens (and it will), then the US will have paid what the crap from China is actually worth.
Grow up, China, and depeg your own currency.
And welcome to the NWO.
Bingo. Hence the quote, "International supervision over the issue of U.S. dollars should be introduced..."
Snowball's chance in hell of that ever happening, because then we couldn't issue the fake dollars to pay China. Which we will.
We will pay them back with interest.
or Tungsten.....
So, China owns all this debt. If they start taking a victory lap, why don't we just default on all the cusips China owns and tell them they can go fuck off.
Sometimes the debt owed is more powerful than the debt owned. China is mad as hell but has to manueuver carefully due to their own mistake of buying too much US toxic nonsense thinking that was a way to buy us.

Hi cocoablini.
Note, half of China's hoard of US dollars comes from our trade deficit. So, debt repudiation would only affect half the problem.
Regarding China's "mistake" in holding so many USDs. That was a decision by China based primarily in the interest of national security, not economics. That is, the US's national security. China holds a sickle and hammer over the head of the US economy and foreign policy. Dump all those USDs on the market, and bye bye USD.
Allowing China to hold a potentially devastating amount of USDs is a national security threat to the US. Allowing this to happen is criminal. But, here we are.
China has four-of-a-kind, and we are bluffing with two pair. Can you feel it? You can actually feel it, the bluffing.
China holds what we give them. Step back for a moment into the reality of a world 200 years ago (because that's the direction we are headed.......globally). We all bluffed. Every nation bluffed and lived beyond its means. China was the slut that sold itself--we didn't come knocking......they came to us with their pants down at their ankles looking for the outlet. I call BS on the relevance of their comments.
If this whole sucker goes down then China ends up with the short end of the stick and that's about it. What are they going to do? Start a war with the U.S.? Think again.
We are a seriously derelict nation but there are a LOT of folks in the United States that never signed up for this bullshit. Once the game ends then reality has a funny way of rearing its ugly head.
China isn't ready for a fight with an angry U.S. in my opinion. And ANGRY is what we're building here right now.
[China holds what we give them.]---arb63
Hi arb63. Thanks for your Reply.
I don't think the facts play this out. China is the number one Creditor nation. USA is the number one Debtor nation. Who's calling the shots? Who is "giving" what to whom?
He who pays the piper calls the tune.
(Yes, China will suffer too in relative terms, but that's beside the point.)
What an ignorant clown this guy is...
China was raped by the europeans, primarily by the british..
do you know what the opium wars were for??? David Sassoon aka HSBC.. the Rothschilds of the east (which they later intermarried with the Rothscum
I don't think we are bluffing with a weak hand. Not sure there is a poker analogy, but what we have is more like Mutally Assured Destruction. Without us buying the stuff they manufacture, what will happen to their economy / employment levels?
Now that is a really stupid statement: China and India alone are 10 times the size of the USA in terms of consumers, add former USSR and Europe, with Africa, Middle East and South America: and the USA is what - oh yes, a pimple on the arse of world trade! The only pimple that is shinking, fast, and can't pay its bills. The annual growth in 'middle-class' in Asia amounts to a number greater than all American workers of any type combined - and that without the other BRICS members!
Many of you call to 'buy American': do it - actually, just TRY IT! The world, specifically China, will feel it like a mosy bite: itches for a day, then all forgotten and best left alone. After a year do you recall the mosy that bit you the night of August 5th? Hell, you don't even recall the bite, let alone the drop of blood it cost!
The fact is the USA WAS (past tense) a massive consumer: not any more. The fact is no one wants a consumer WHO DOES NOT PAY (opps - sorry, American 'capitalists' don't yet understand why this is not good business). The fact is the USA, as a viable market, is shrinking fast and has a very clear 'best before' date (2012 - or even Christmas 2011), that is extremely close in global trade terms. The fact is that like any bully in a kiddies playground, when America does not get what it wants it behaves like Rambo - while forgetting that Rambo is a movie, not history (like the real Vietnam and its outcome). The fact is that while America 'fiddles' the world is not sitting idly by: moves are afoot, significant games are in play, policies are developing into directives and trading deals are being done 'sans dollar'! Ratings agencies are finally reflecting global opinion (well, two are plus one is 'testing' the water).
America is looking very very sad these days (point of interest: the Serbo/Croat translation for USA = SAD!), not just because the world has hated all things America since GW (though it was a major contribution): BO getting a Nobel was a paid-up fix (like GW elections), the rest of USA politics is paid for by corrupt business interests (BO included), the USA has lost the right to be governance officer of the reserve currency (and the world has been dealing with this for at least two years to my knowledge: the global fix is in boys and girls), the USA repeatedly reaches for the bottle while the world attempts a 12 step program, the USA is headless: and that is the biggy!
Where are the rallying calls of old? Where are the 'one nation' people? In fact, where the hell has America gone - because it ain't in the USA anymore (or so it seems)?
Despite the above, I happen to like America: I still watch 'Happy Days' whenever I can. I think America has forgotten to like itself because 30 years of BS politics, dumbing down and 'sound-bite' attention span is delivering the results they always would. Politicians always promise change: only involved people can make it happen - get active, don't bang the Chinese, light a fire under the fat arses of America: charity and activity, start at home! Start being a parent, start pressing schools for more (not less) real results, start demanding a voice: just start getting 'in to it' and stop moaning about it! You have rights, us in the world are not so lucky!
"and the USA is what - oh yes, a pimple on the arse of world trade!"
The American economy is 14 times larger than China.
Like it or not, America is the primary engine of the world's economy, and when combined with the Eurozone, it is China and India and all the rest of the 3rd world who are pimples.
I freely admit that we are facing huge problems and have truly screwed up, but let's stick to reality here, please.
Hey, but thanks for still liking us.
Your stats are well out of date. US GDP is only 11x higher than China.
That is still a huge gap. But the big issue is that China is growing fast while the US is stagnating hard. Growth draws investment, talent, opportunity.
Chinese gross GDP will exceed the US sometime between 2020 and 2030. So enjoy first place while it lasts.
Yes I know, US will still be streets ahead in terms of per capita GDP, and the average Chinese citizen is going to remain poorer than the average American for a long time to come.
"The American economy is 14 times larger than China."
False. And not even close.
China GDP:
$6 trillion (nominal)
$10 trillion (PPP)
... hence U.S. economy is perhaps twice (or less)
larger than China's.
Mallenet, I agree with most of what you are saying, but there is still a small "corporate class" of Americans whom benefit greatly from worldwide growth. The problem is the rest of America's workforce is getting left to fend for themselves or rely on government to take care of them. The housing bubble was the last great American employer. (it was also the last great source of credit for Americans, the HELOC). What is left to employ the average under skilled, under educated American worker? We can't all flip burgers or mow each others lawns. We need jobs to produce things to sell to the rest of the world. Trade surpluses are the ONLY path to prosperity, and no one seems to be promoting this (except maybe Peter Schiff, whom they won't even put on TV anymore). This fantastic Charlie Rose interview with Sir. James Goldsmith forecast our current situation twenty years ago, take the time to watch it all (the Clinton shill, Laura Tyson, now advises Obama):
The poker analogy is, China may have 4 of a kind, but the US has Geithner of a kind. China wants to swing their dick around and call a new reserve currency? The Bernank has a thousand bulk carriers filled with FRNs to pay off the debt. Coming soon to a port near you!
No, they are not over. China is one FU*CKED up country. The crap we are "forced" to buy from them is the same crap they made 35 years ago. They are right about our bullshit finances but they are part of the problem--and not the solution. And DEFINITELY not the future. China isn't even worth the conversation.
I agree - you should definately leave this conversation - it is for grown-ups!
to-ta-ree agree with RB63
and there it is... the KKK empire!!
youre going down biatch!
Ahh Soo...new leserve cullency Blitchez!
Pot. Kettle. Black.
If they want a reserve currency, they can depeg and have a go at it. Furthermore, nobody is forcing them to support our debt addiction, let alone at current rates.
So... screw 'em.
Is this some kind of joke ?
China cannot be this clueless. There is a reason they are the worlds biggest importer of gold and the worlds biggest producer of gold at the same time. Gold is on the verge of becoming the worlds wealth reserve asset and the Euro currency will serve the purpose of meduim of exchange.
The euro? C'mon have you read the latest? France, spain,Italy, Greece?
You mean the Euro zone ? The zone is a net creditor with no trade deficit. They have problems but nothing compared to the dollars problems. We are stuck with the Euro, it is the only option.
He has a point - and do not make the classic American mistake of confusing geography (the countries of Europe) with Economics (the currency of SOME European countries - or states, if your prefer). When the Euro was created there was much in the media of the new 'alternate' reserve currency. The failure of the European sovereign states may not lead to the failure of the Euro, which already plays a healthy part in international trade as well as being a 'grey' market currency throughout continental Europe (i.e. including all ex USSR and Yugoslav states).
No Sir dont do it: for it would be foolish man indeed to mix geographic locations with global political economics!
First Putin, then S & P, now this.
Going to be interesting to see what the PM complex does from here.
In this environment I don't want to be invested in anything that I can't feel when hitting my foot.
My feelings exactly!
Maybe China should worry more about getting it's own house in order with it's 1200 to 1 leverage and housing bubbles
and bad loans, and stop pointing finger at U.S. If they don't like it, they can just sell their lead painted toys to
someone else.
They are the worlds largest producer and importer of gold.They are also the Euro zones largest trading partner who happens to control the largest gold hoard in the world, who also happens to be a net creditor with no trade deficit.
This is just a bad joke. Demanding a new reserve currency...haha.
Jim Rickards has said many times that the US has 8,000 tons of its own gold, and 6,000 tons of everyone else's gold which we will never give back.
Thus, we have, by a very large margin, the largest hoard of gold in the whole world.
Is this not so?
Watch the video - http://vimeo.com/18160394
Until there is a VALID and CERTIFIABLE audit of all U.S. Gold Reserves, Jim Rickards has his cranium up his rectum, to be polite.
Don't be an idiot. Rickards is just using the U.S. figures and doesn't necessarily believe them.
The world is a rough place. The way I see it, we are getting into lockstep globally to go toe-to-toe with any one interested in dancing. This fiat currency bullshit will be the last thing on our minds as we march onto the oil fields worldwide to ensure the only thing that really matters.
How is it that everyone is so deluded to not understand that we are going to have war upon war soon. It has been the same since prehistoric times actually. It's not about to change now. It will probably end bad but that's just the way it is. No winners and all losers.
I can imagine how this is all going to play out. Chaos everywhere. Anger everywhere. By the way, FU*CK China.........
Have you seen any of this 8,000 ton stockpile of gold? No? Well, neither has anyone else since, I believe, 1957.
It seems to be a very, very secret kind of gold that you can only be told about but never see. Even if you are a United States Congressman and ask many times.
As for a full independent audit, well, you can imagine how far proposals to do that have gotten.
I cannot imagine that this one asset alone is immune from the fraud, lies and deception that events over the past 3 years have shown constitute business as usual at the Treserve. I would not, therefore, bet very much money that it's all there, right and proper as it should be.
No that is not so.
The US treasury allegedy has 8000 tons of gold, the Fed has none. The ECB (a central bank that has no ties to any nation state) is in control of 10,000+ tons of gold.
The BIS is owned by its customers, the CBs. They set it up and subscribed to it (bought in) so it could provide clearing services for inter bank gold sales. The BIS's own gold is still owned by the CBs because they own a proportional share of the BIS.
Out of practical necessity, privacy and security, most BIS gold activities are with unallocated gold. The main difference between the BIS and private bullion banks being that BIS sight accounts are fully reserved. Being "reserves" is the very definition of CB gold.
I hope this may clear some things up incase you thought that the US treasury (congress) was going to "take" some other countries gold.
Most (all?) major economic powers are in dire straights, and yes, China's no different.
At this point this is a war of words as the titans jockey for leverage in a world that is quickly changing away from the status quo.
Ultimately, those words will result in action, by choice or other.
Reminds me of the end of the movie, Reservoir Dogs, the Mexican standoff; they were all screwed; it was just a matter of who started it.
More signs of Rotation, wonder if the Puppy will Touch Down next week ?
Global Currency Bitchezzz. No fucking leadership int he USA. Bunch of idiots giving each other blow jobs period.
China attacks US debt 'addiction' after America loses AAA credit rating
confucious say:
man who live in glass house should change clothes in basement.
Protest at Fullerton police department today in response to the brutal murder of Kelly Thomas. 6 fascist pigs beat the man to death in front of spectators and witnesses. Fuck the police. Be there!
And the next time you're carjacked at gunpoint, call the ACLU.
You're not just a moron, but a fascist moron. Congratulations.
the time is coming, very soon, when you are going to regret making that statement...when you are going to wish that you had been at that protest, or one like it and stood up for yourself and your fellow man...while you had the chance...
Next time someone attempts to carjack me, I will smoke their bitch ass...we carry here, legally. Waiting for the cops is an exercise in futility, they only show up if you say you have a gun and will take care of business yourself. Besides that, the SCOTUS said the cops are not obligated to protect citizens, however, citizens are obligated to pay their salaries and kick ass retirement and benefits.
"I will smoke their bitch ass...we carry here, legally."
So the car jackers can carry legally too huh?
Seems that criminals carry whether it's legal or not, right? What exactly is your point?
Most carjackers are already felons, so probably not. But what people like you payday seem not to realize is that when some asshole does not know if you are packing or not they are less likely to try some stupid shit. LA county is on the other side of the county I live in, they cannot legally carry under any circumstances and crime is through the fucking roof there with things like carjackings. Here, we handle shit ourselves, violent crime is exponentially lower thanks to the fact we can carry. You may want to study the town of Kennesaw, GA where it is the law that head of household carries, and may even want to look at their violent crime stats, just trying to head you off before you make another one of your stupid lib arguments. Oh and as far as felons being able to carry, they carry whether its legal or not...so why bother with a law to exclude them? I don't believe for one minute that the second amendment should exclude any class of people and before you start a dumb lib argument on that front it is called liberty, Bitchez!!!
Those mealy-mouthed apparatchiks have been buyiing Uncle Gorilla paper for decades.
And the buying became so ferocious the last two weeks, that 99% of their purchases are currently in a winning position.
And now they have the nerve to dictate and lecture to the U.S.? When we could easily just impose a temporary moratorium on interest payments on all China-held Treasuries as a "warning shot"?
Those guys obviously do not understand that we are the "Donald Trump" and they are the nervous bankers sitting across the table back in 1990.
They are the ones with everything to lose. They are stuck with the paper. We can easily turn that 99% winning trade into a big, fat zero in an instant.
We are the ones enjoying iPads, iPhones, Abercrombie jeans, Coach handbags, Lululemon outfits. We have tangible assets bought and financed by China.
They have nothing but scrip.
You might be enjoying Coach bags; I don't carry a purse.
Hey - why don't you put up the other picture of yourself for a while? You know, the one with the mullet and the molestache?
Hahaha, you are actually falling for this shit ?
You actually think China is in the tough position ? They could easily write off all of the US debt tommorow. The USD would fall but 50% over night and the RMB would rise by the same. They will still have a real productive econonmy to fall back on. With the rise in the RMB, the Chinese will have extra discretionary income to consume their own production similar to what the US did after WW2. Their gold will be revalued up by a few 1000% too. They will still have a customer in the Euro zone, (their largest trading partner) because the EU is a net creditor with no trade deficit and more gold then the US.
The US would go compltetly bankrupt the next day. The armies will be called home and there would be caos in the streets.
If the USD fell 50% so would the yuan(ie US foodstamp). It's pegged remember.
How about US demands China depeg as per WTO agreements? China would collapse overnight, riots in the streets and their export economy(90+% of their economy now) would evaporate. And no, they couldn't write of the debt tomorrow, since they have to put up treasuries as collateral for payment of accounts, since once agains, they don't have a currency it's a discounted dollar.
China is only a player now because the US vehemently backed their entry into the WTO. Look at the charts of government spending versus revenues. Crossover right at 1998 when the WTO crap was born and the US helped bail out the Asian currency mess. Offshoring US industrial production pulled them out of the dark ages.
China is a dog who' biting it's master.
You're right, there will be chaos in the streets -- of Beijing.
China will de-peg the second it doesn't work for them anymore.
And there lies the problem. It's a global system of settlements. Not just the little prima donnas over in the "Middle Kingdom". And they made obligations to the WTO to already be pegged so technically, if all these New World Order types want a global rule of law, China should be forced to depeg.
They played the Popeye and Wimpy school of economics with "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for world domination today" and then banged everyone after 2008 and started everything in a death spiral.
Now everyone looks to them for leadership?! Yeah, they'll allow gold and silver to remain unconfiscated when they depeg.
"The US would go compltetly (sic) bankrupt the next day. The armies will be called home and there would be caos (sic) in the streets."
at least we don't have to ask if you spit or swallow sino jizz "Spitzer"...
China is a melamine eggroll...attractive on the outside...shitty on the inside.
Yea Spitzer, EUROpe will pick up the amerikan consumer slack, uh huh.....
Yes exactly. When they say "[the US] should also stop its old practice of letting its domestic electoral politics take the global economy hostage and rely on the deep pockets of major surplus countries to make up for its perennial deficits." it is pretty funny. We have allowed them, first through granting "Most Favored Nation" status and then accession to GATT/WTO in what 2001? to develop that surplus. Normally some equilibrium would be restored by adjustment in exchange rates, but their dollar peg prevents this. This is one of those things that if it can't go on forever, won't. Well we are now approaching forever apparently and the piper will likely be paid, and in the not too distant future, most likely in blood unfortunately.
That is not to say our politics is not broken - it is. But that is what democracy is. And until someone can think of something better - and a managed authoritarian economy where decisions of men in individual cases counts for more than law isn't it - that is the way it will be. Despite our problems we will still be the last man standing.
Errm...the only fallacy in your post, is...the opening premise. The yuan is not pegged to the dollar. Never has, never will be.
The yuan is managed against a basket of currencies and is whatever the CBOC says it is on the day. There is no peg.
You are clueless
The Yuan is what is holding up the dollar. Look at what happens any time they revalue the Yuan. IT GOES UP, NOT DOWN.
China's biggest trading partner is the EU, not the US. What the hell makes you think that China needs the US for a market ?
The rise of the RMP(a basic econ concept that you don't understand) will foster more domestic consumption and the rest of the slack can be taken on by the Eurozone, which like I said, is still their biggest trading partner.
Domestic consumption drives GDP for 1st time
www.chinaview.cn 2008-01-31
BEIJING, Jan. 31 -- China's domestic consumption has replaced investment to become the biggest driver of economic growth for the first time in seven years......
I do not understand what Spitzer is saying, but I am ignorant.
If China writes off our debt, does that not solve our debt problem? Please enlighten me.
Moreover, the US Treasury possesses 8,000 tons of gold. This is, by far, more than any other country possesses. The Eurozone possesses, when summed, 10,000 tons. But there is little chance they will actually use it as a lump sum of gold. Moreover, the Eurozone's error is that 6,000 tons of their gold is in the basement of the NY Fed, so they'll never see it again. The FED will just give them a receipt.
China possesses a trivial amout of gold. Maybe 1500 tons.
A "writeoff," as used in the above example, would be to account for the debt as unpaid, following the U.S.'s inability or unwillingness to honor it. Not to be confused with forgiving a debt.
In fact wouldn't China simply begin the process of turning those non-paying treasuries into anything of value that they could? Say buying Utah or something?
all their Treasuries will eventually flood back to the US and that will begin the real hyper-inflation, only the Chinese will be out ahead of the total calamity.
If China writes off the debt, there is $0 dollars to pay for the military, there is $0 dollars to pay for the US government, there is $0 to pay for medicare and social security. So yes, the debt will be eliminated but so will the US dollar and the standard of living in the US. The US would hit rock bottom which it badly needs and they can rebuild from there.
The Euro zone, on the top line of its balance sheet, marks it as a lump sum right now. They have since the inception of the Euro. No country can join the Euro unless they have gold and they add it to the lump.
The BIS clears gold for the CB's, there is no way the bank of NY could take posetion of CB gold.
You think Europe will have the Money to buy Chinese goods that will be 125% more expensive 'overnight'? The Chinese have plenty of over-leveraged paper assets, plenty of real estate that nobody needs, they have to import massive amounts of food to feed their population (which was not the case 20 years ago). They are stuck with too many US Treasuries and they know it, that's why their pissed at the weak $ policy. If they ditch 100% of their treasuries it will give the US a chance to write off 100% of its debt. Tabula Rasa, bitchez.
The Eurozone does not use the dollar. The Euro will not fall by nearly the same amount as the USD. We have evidence of that now. Consider all of Europes problems and look at how the Euro is behaving. Its still way ahead of parity with the dollar.
Yeah, the US could write off 100% of its debt and the standard of living in the US will be written off too. The US govt and the military would also be written off. It would be serios pain for the US but that is what they need. let the system crash, hit rock bottom and rebuilt from there.
Euro is below parity with the US dollar. Greek debt monetization is already equal to US 4 Trillion (per capita bailout). Wake up, crunch some numbers.
REALITY = China ain't shit without Western markets. End of story. They will migrate back to their farms.......Oh, and so will we.
The largest economy in the world does not go quietly into the night... That is, without an unacceptable amount of collateral damage.
The world is stuck with the US' problems whether or not they want to deal with them.
"They are the ones with everything to lose."
Are you serious or it's the week-end joke ?
Aargh, does anyone really think the US could default its obligations to China, and not have China nationalize every iota of US corporate investment on their domestic soil? Probably pretty close to a wash as far as they are concerned...
Robo: "We can turn [Treasuries] into a big, fat zero in an instant."
Honestly, man in the tangible Lululemon tights, can English be assembled into anything dumber?
Suspend interest payments => they'll nationalize GM China. Go ahead. Every month, China will nationalize a US asset until the US pays up. Nuke them, they'll nuke back.
I was thinking nationalize everything overnight, but I like your month-by-month, or maybe a week-by-week approuch better.
It has an anaconda-squeeze feel...
If their Nukes work like every other piece of shit they make ten I will take that bet. Think we're all going to live forever? Think this shit is going to play out in a congenial manner? Bullshit. We're in a mess. China is in a mess. Europe is in a mess. After 20+ years of watching and working with the armies of the world, I will say this: Regardless of technology, people will always defend what is theirs to the death.
That's what we will see. Debt be damned. The average joe in Nebraska could give a shit about China and it's poor circumstance. Whatever.
This isn't even a question of economics. What we're moving into is a question of who has the biggest balls. Frankly, we're moving slowly toward a discussion of yet another global war.
Didn't you hear? China has had modern US nuke designs for years now.
Wow Robo, I dont know why anybody junked you. Your point of view is spot on. Usually I totally disagree with your viewpoints, but not this time. That Donald Trump analogy is perfect.
Well, it seems China may have found a good way to get rid of the worth-less green paper.
According to a stock analyst in Tokyo, China has been buying the Japanese yen, bonds and shares like crazy.
They have been using multiple vehicles to buy the shares. So, it may not be so obvious yet. But Chiense entities are now major shareholders in many Japanese companies if their aggregate holdings are used, according to the guy.
Also with the yen rising so much (nearly 130 yen just a few years ago to 77-78 yen to the dollar), many Japanese companies are being forced to move factories outside Japan. And many of them are now building new factories in China.
This seem to explain the puzzling surge of the yen in recent months despite the crazy soverign debt level and the nuclear disaster.
You better be willing to use your nuclear weapons if you think you want to do that. And remember there are 1.3 billion of those guys. Better hope you get them all too, and don't forget the ones already in your country spying for them. Otherwise, you may not be singing the same tune.
Armchair arrogance is nice, but i bet you would not be saying any of this stuff to a chinaman when he has you by the scruff.
"domestic electoral politics take the global economy hostage and rely on the deep pockets of major surplus countries to make up for its perennial deficits."
Lenders (China) absolutely have the right to question borrowers (US) and make demands.
But the suggestion in the quote above that the US has taken the global economy hostage is over the top and shows China has learned well from the 50% of Americans who view themselves as victim. I am certain no one forced China to lend the US money. Without force it is hard to be a "hostage." If China would stop making inexpensive products that Americans deem good value, they would not have the problem of knowing what to do with all that money (by funding US deficits).
But I do not blame China for piling on here -- it must be rather humorous to them.
No worries, BHO will handle this with great intellect and well reasoned long term planning -- not a chance!

Venom shot rough doodle by rongs1234Watch
©2013-2016 rongs1234
So people have brought it up and i have also thought about how Venomwoman's attack / power works. I have thought that it works in two ways, as a projectile and an injection. Like real venom its most effective when it's injected right into her enemy, i think it can eat through the weaker materials in robots, but its hardly a one hit kill with the injection. As a spray it can do minor damage but nothing long term, and could be used to dissolve things that are in the way
Ouch thats gotta hurt.
indeed, though when i had thought of this it was much more painful looking in my head like MegaMan was really writhing in pain. Like there is a scene in the anime "Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood" where Ed is impaled with a big chunk of metal and its pulled out of him, thats how painful i had in mind for this at first XP
Oh sheesh I remember that scene and his face. Wow gal. OwO That really was painful because it's like his nerves were pulled out.

Definition of Medical geography
Medical geography: An important "new" area of health research that is a hybrid between geography and medicine dealing with the geographic aspects of health and healthcare. Medical geography studies the effects of locale and climate upon health. It aims to improve the understanding of the various factors which affect the health of populations and hence individuals. It is also called health geographics.
The idea that place and location may influence health is not exactly new. It is an old idea and a fertile one. Since Hippocrates (circa 3rd century BC), it has been known that certain diseases such as malaria occur in some places and not others (and for good reason). Malaria is not a disease of mountain tops. It lurks in lowlands where mosquitos breed and sting, to convey the parasitic agent of the disease -- plasmodium.
A classic piece of research in medical geography was in done in 1854 as cholera gripped London. Death tolls rang around the clock from church towers. People feared they were being infected by vapors coming from the ground. A physician by the name of John Snow thought that, if he could locate the source of the disease, it could be contained. He drew maps showing the homes of people who had died of cholera and the locations of water pumps. He found that one pump, the public pump on Broad Street, was central to most of the victims. He figured that infected water from the pump was the culprit. He instructed the authorities to remove the handle to the pump, making it unusable. The number of new cholera cases plummeted. The Broad Street pump was the source of cholera.
In the early 20th century a couple of dentists in Colorado noticed that children living in areas with high levels of naturally-occurring fluoride in groundwater had fewer dental caries. Their discovery of the value of fluoride came from the application of medical geography (which, since this is dental geography, might be better called health geography).

After hitting (and exceeding) the first target on the large July 26th gap down, the EXPE short trade went on to move above the previously suggested stop level (slightly above T1) and found resistance not too far above. However, the stock made a large gap higher today & as such, will be removed from the Active Trades category. As the chart still looked constructive with EXPE finding resistance (twice) at the 54.40 area, I left it on as an Active Trade and am still short the stock in one account as well. My plan for EXPE will be to place a stop just above the 59.76 level as per my usual strategy when caught on the wrong side of a gap (which I've posted about several times in the past). Basically, that strategy involves waiting a few minutes after the open & then placing the stop slightly above the initial reaction high within the first 5 minutes or so of trading as most order imbalances are cleared out by then. EXPE will be removed from the Active Trade list as the technical picture is now unclear. Updated daily & 1 minute charts below:

EXPE was added as an Active Short Trade on March 21st and as this updated daily chart shows, the stock has been stair-stepping lower since then on these "micro-uptrend line" breaks. Zooming out to the updated weekly chart, EXPE hit the first target (weekly uptrend [continue reading…]
I am adding EXPE back as an Active Short Trade here around the 62 level. EXPE was recently a short trade that hit the first target for a 9% gain back in late Oct and then bounced and was moved to the Completed Trades category. [continue reading…]

Wife of former Pelicans coach Monty Williams dies in car accident
There are no words to describe how sad this is.
Ingrid Williams, the wife of Oklahoma City Thunder assistant coach and former New Orleans Pelicans head coach, Monty Williams, died Wednesday at the age of 44 from injuries suffered in a car accident the day before.
Williams' car was hit head-on by another vehicle that had crossed over the center divider, according to the Oklahoman.
The Monty and Ingrid had been married more than 20 years and have five children, ranging in age from 17 to 5. Williams is one of the better respected and personally liked coaches around the league, and the tributes have just started to pour in.
Our thoughts are with Williams and his family.
Kobe reflects on LeBron before final matchup in Cleveland
CLEVELAND (AP) — Kobe Bryant remembers giving a pair of his sneakers to LeBron James as a gift and offering the teenager some advice.
The years in between have passed in a blur.
On his final visit to Cleveland to play against James on Wednesday night, Bryant reflected on his relationship with a player who once hung a poster of him on his bedroom wall in Akron, Ohio, and has grown into a valued friend.
And as gets ready to say goodbye to the NBA after two decades, Bryant was stunned to learn that James, too, is on the back half of his career.
"Is this his 10th year?" Bryant asked, before being told that James has been in the league longer. "Eleventh year? Thirteenth year! He's a true, true vet. It's strange. To me, it still seems like he just got into the league. Pretty crazy. … He might retire soon, too."
Bryant was at ease during his interview session with reporters before the Los Angeles Lakers played the Cavaliers. This is Bryant's sendoff, his farewell tour, and the 37-year-old is trying to savor every moment.
When he was in high school and on the verge of becoming a household name, James met Bryant before playing against Carmelo Anthony in an All-Star game in Philadelphia. It was then that Bryant dropped some knowledge on James.
"I remember sitting down and talking with him," Bryant said. "The advice I gave him, because he would have so much coming at him, was focus on the game. Stay true to the craft. Everything else would sort out. That was the most important piece of advice I could give him."
On several occasions this season, James has spoken with reverence toward Bryant, one of the game's most celebrated players with whom he is often compared. The two didn't always have the strongest connection, but is has matured over the years, helped by them playing together on the U.S. Olympic team.
Bryant and James once seemed on a collision course to meet in the NBA Finals, but the matchup never materialized, disappointing a basketball world wanting to see the greats go head-to-head with everything on the line.
"We never crossed paths unfortunately," Bryant said. "I just wanted to win the damn thing. I didn't care who we played. For the fans it probably stinks because it would have been a great matchup, but from a player's perspective it doesn't matter who you play. … Just want to win the championship."
Bryant recalled previous visits to Cleveland, including the 1997 All-Star Game when he participated in the dunk contest as a rookie. That year the showcased the game's Top 50 players, a who's who of hoops immortality that had Bryant in a daze.
"Man, I remember walking around the hotel, I remember walking around this arena, and just running into a great after great after great after great after great," Bryant said. "I grew up watching all of these players. So I watched all of the classic videos, the films, the books. So to see these players all walking around, it was pretty amazing."
This weekend, Bryant will take his All-Star bow. It will be the last time he mingles with his peers, who will undoubtedly honor him throughout the festivities in Toronto.
Bryant's career has come full circle.
"I can't wait to be around them and talk to them and see how far the game has progressed, see all this young talent the different generations of players," said the 16-time All-Star. "To me, LeBron is still young. I can't fathom this is his 13th season and the generations that come after him – the Durant generations, the Curry generations. There are so many generations in between that. It's going to be fun for me to be around.
"When I first played in an All-Star game, imagine an 18-year-old, 19-year-old kid walking into a locker room and here's John Stockton with his little itty-bitty shorts. There's Barkley. There's Clyde Drexler. There's Gary Payton. I was a 19-year-kid."
Report: Grizzlies want to pitch Kevin Durant. Join the long line.
If Kevin Durant makes his intentions known he plans to leave Oklahoma City — and that is far from certain, if anything the odds still lean toward him staying — you can expect 29 teams to line up trying to make their pitch. We are talking about a top-three NBA player, a franchise-changing force, a guy that turns a team into an instant contender.
Consider the Memphis Grizzlies in that group.
From Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical at Yahoo Sports.
They are working to keep Conley in summer free agency, with Memphis planning to be one more contender with two stars that will try to persuade Kevin Durant to make it a Big Three, league sources said. Durant's the longest of long shots in summer, but the short-term trade deadline directives are unchanged: The Grizzlies are determined to use the trade deadline to better the roster for a playoff push.
The first thing that means: Despite the rumors, do not expect a Mike Conley trade. They will keep him at the deadline and make a major push to re-sign him in the summer. The Knicks and a host of other teams will be lined up to pitch Conley, and he said he will consider his options, but remember he helped recruit Marc Gasol to stay a season ago. And the Grizzlies can offer more guaranteed money than anyone.
The Grizzlies can make an interesting pitch. With him, they are legit title contenders so Durant can chase his ring. Also, this is a small market — KD has had testy run-ins with the media playing in the smallest market in the NBA. The OKC media relations people do their best to shield him. Does he want the scrutiny that comes with New York or Los Angeles? Even Golden State? Memphis is a small market where he would be comfortable. Plus, awesome barbecue.
But the Grizzlies are just going to be in a long line to talk to Durant. If he even talks to anyone.
Wall has to work for recognition among top NBA point guards
WASHINGTON (AP) — Fresh off scoring 51 points against the Washington Wizards, reigning NBA MVP Stephen Curry praised John Wall, who dropped a quiet 41 against the Warriors.
"He's a top-tier point guard," Curry said, "and it's like that – not his caliber every night – but obviously at the point guard position you're going to have some talent on the other side of the ball most nights."
Wall has never played better in what is now a point-guard league.
It doesn't stop with Curry. The talent pool includes Cleveland's Kyrie Irving, Toronto's Kyle Lowry, Boston's Isaiah Thomas, Portland's Damian Lillard, Oklahoma City's Russell Westbrook and the Los Angeles Clippers' Chris Paul, to name a few.
"I think I'm having a career year," Wall said. "I can say I'm playing my best basketball, but not the way I want to play because it's not equaling up to wins."
Wall is an All-Star for the third time but gets lost in the packed field of "top-tier" point guards. His 20.1 points a game are sixth at the position, while his 9.9 assists are third behind only Sacramento's Rajon Rondo and Westbrook.
But some nights there is just no denying his talents.
Like Tuesday at New York's Madison Square Garden, Wall had 28 points and 17 assists to lead Washington past the Knicks. It was another showcase performance during a season that hasn't gone the way he or the Wizards have wanted.
The Wizards will be a sub-.500 team and outside the Eastern Conference playoff picture at the All-Star break. Injuries to sidekick Bradley Beal and many others have hampered Washington this season.
But Wall is holding up his end and is playing like a top-five point guard.
He has an all-around game – the ability to beat defenders off the dribble, to spot up, pass, use his court vision and rebound. As Celtics coach Brad Stevens said recently, "you have to pick your poison" when defending Wall.
"Being able to shoot the ball off the pick and roll with great consistency – that's what makes defenses choose what to do next," Stevens said. "He's been a great passer off the pick and roll."
There's no shortage of admiration around the league for Wall, who Philadelphia 76ers coach Brett Brown deemed "the fastest guard in the NBA." Brown compared Wall to a Maserati sports car and said the 25-year-old has improved because "you learn how to drive your Maserati better."
Much of Wall's game has improved in his six pro seasons since he was the first overall pick out of Kentucky in 2010.
"His speed is probably second to none in the NBA. … He's a one-man fast break and it's crazy because he logs so many minutes," Warriors guard Klay Thompson said. "His midrange jumper is also so much improved. You can tell he's been working on his game a lot, and you like to see that from guys."
Wall doesn't get the headlines like Curry, Irving or even Thomas, of late. He has only scored the most points in a game he's played in eight times this season, but Wall is the kind of player that teams have to game-plan against.
"You've got to build a wall against Wall," Cavaliers star LeBron James said. "You let him play in open court one-on-one, he's too fast, he's too strong. He's going to put your defense at bay."
Opponents have tried to close off Wall's drives to the basket and force him to take jump shots. At times, it has worked, like when the Trail Blazers limited him to 4 of 17 shooting in a victory last month.
"When you're playing against an All-Star-caliber player like him, you work as hard as you can, you try and contain his penetration and hope he misses some jumpers," Portland coach Terry Stotts said.
More often than not, Wall makes the most of his time and space. Even so, Washington coach Randy Wittman believes Curry should get more recognition than Wall because of team results.
"John's body of work has been pretty good; he's been recognized with that," Wittman said. "You've got to go out and play, you've got to go out and win. Those are the two things in our league. You want recognition? Be a winner and play your butt off. That's how you get recognition, and John's gotten it."
NBA writer Brian Mahoney contributed to this report.

Why you should speak (at Djangocon Europe)
In early June, Djangocon Europe is held in Cardiff, Wales, and the call for papers is still open until the 18th of March. The aim is to not only have familiar names in the schedule, but to achieve a good mix with first time speakers as well. There are even speaker mentors offering to help. However, if you've never spoken in public before, or rarely, it can be a quite daunting to submit to a conference as large as Djangocon. I'm a fairly experienced public speaker, and hope to dispel some of the doubts you may have about submitting. Much of this will apply to other conferences as well.Read on →
