Stocks Close At Record High On Russian ICBM Launch
It would appear the BFTATH mentaility has morphed into a BTFICBMD perspective as the "market" shrugs off an 'apparently expected' ICBM launch to soar to new record highs with the best day in stocks for months (if not years). USDJPY was in charge intraday as 102 was flushed through (with JPY's biggest drop in 2 months) and dragged stocks (led by the "most-shorted") non-stop. Equity volumes were 20-30% below yesterday's. The USD was relatively unmoved on the day (modestly higher oddly on a risk-on day). Gold and oil prices slipped (but remain in the green on the week) as Silver slipped into the red. Copper rallied. Treasury yields surged 6-8bps (the biggest jump in 4 months) as 2s10s steepened 6bps. VIX was cracked 2 vols lower to 14%. The S&P closed at 1873, just 27 points shy of Goldman's 2014 year-end target.
For a brief few minutes, stocks actually sold off - when Russia launched an ICBM - but what a great opportunity to buy that was:
and across all the indices - the launch of an ICBM was hardly noticed (especially Trannies)... evidently the bulk of gains wer ein the US open to EU close session...
Credit was a little more apprehensive of the record highs... from the EU close and again from the ICBM launch...
But USDJPY was in charge of stocks... fun-durr-mentals!!!
Which smashed the Russell to all-time-highs, the S&P to all-time highs (and therefore green for 2014) with only the Dow in the red still since the end of 2013...
Financials pushed back into the green for 2014 leading the way along with Healthcare (Biotechs) today...
The Fantastic-Five were mixed today with all of them weak after Europe closed...
Treasury yields smashed higher with the biggest yield rise in 4 months... with notable steepening in 2s10s
The USD went dead-stick after Europe's close to end up around 0.5% on the week...
While correlations across risk assets were high, the afternoon - post US open, gold decoupled - not selling off as much as would have been expected...
Gold and oil sold off and recoupled with copper as Silver slid into the red on the week...
Since its 1979 inception, the small-cap Russell 2000 has been +3% to a 52-week high only 1 other time, Feb 29, 2000... that didn't end well...

Does John Kerry know who they test-fired it at?...
Just askin...
Well.. Finally those capitalist pigs will pay for their crimes.. Eh, comrades, eh?
The old SS-25. Ah, Cold War days.
russia is doomed,http://thediplomat.com/2014/03/russia-is-doomed/
At least it was only one missile they tested. I'll worry when they test a few hundred at one time. Since we have about 90 minutes I'm sure that will be the lie told to everyone, they are just testing a few hundred ICBMs and so are we.
It's 15 minutes or less.
Thoink of the rally that would ensue if the Russians would fire on Washington!!!
Buy when the first shot is fired....i don't think they had ICBM'S then.
KRSE, THE Keith Richards Stock Exchange
till you buy in.
This market could survive anything....like a cockroach
Mr Pink
That will come in handy as the cockroach monitors our investments when we're all gone!
BTFHATH[Mushroom Cloud]!
ICBM is the new QE.
Next: Yellen fired three minuteman missiles, to support current SaPoorski level of 2900.
We need a Major Kong graphic to complement Donkey Kong and The Deer
Of all the bullshit I've witnessed in this market the past 25 years today takes the cake. What a total fucking Pig Circus.
Or a pig-fucking circus; retail = the pig.
Muppet fuckers. I like the sound of it better. Hell, it would be a great band name.
Tyler, this was planned WEEKS ahead...and the USA knew about. are you really that ignorant or just trying to sensationalize non-news again?
But the algos are so brave ... it's inspirin' ... you go guys!
Because 0bongo.
it's vital to grab that yield before the mushroom cloud appears. it might not be there afterwards.
The puppets in Kiev only need to look at Greece to see their future. Shit is hilarious and confirms that stupidity has no bounds
How about those IYR's...
this is the rally that was supposed to happen yesterday so they made up for it today.
why I love ZH. Tyler.....you're the best!
We're on the highway to Hell
No stop signs, speed limits
"Hey Yellen! Paid my dues....playing in a HFT band."
Apparently. Too bad we are not in the driver's seat...
so now stall correlation becomes blast off ?
Who is the pilot on this plane?
Otto Pilot
Well if you don't know, maybe yours is goin down.
if we have problems hitting DOW 20K, they can nuke a city and we will get there no problem. Krugman was right.
War is bullish for markets
Blood ($BLD), Death ($DTH), and Destruction ($DES) all up in mid day trading.
Common Sense and Decency also saw losses.
"Common Sense and Decency also saw losses"
Yes, but on low volume.
nuclear war is bullish for markets
fixed it for ya.
i get the feeling i'd be making money as a trader just by BTFD even as American cities burned under a nuclear mushroom. kinda sick, but while the music is playing... we've gotta dance!
Just don't get to exhausted dancing between the lines.
All of the EMPs from the detonated nuclear warheads would knock out nearly all electrical devices: no internet servers, no computers, no mobile phones, no ETFs, no markets, no faceboob or tweeting. For the survivors I'm not sure what the biggest shock will be: the nukes or the lack of gizmos to satisfy their narcissism.
That would be rough on the ole shitcoins....
In the grim humor category.
http://www.krmg.com/news/news/local/man-found-decapitated-police-suspect...Man found decapitated, police suspect suicide Wife found the body of her husband
The incident happened near 46th and Sheridan.
Police say a woman who lives in the home found her husband dead in the garage.
His hands and feet were tied and the body had been decapitated.
Tulsa police told KRMG news the death was due to suicide.
Well you can only cut your own head off once. As opposed to shooting yourself in the back of the head 3 times.
Or... As supposed to shooting yourself EIGHT times with a nail gun.
Complete ridonkulous markets - I saw RoboTrader's mom today & she was Rollin' in a Bentley Arnage.
But seriously, this is multitudes more irrational than 2007's peak batshit crazy.
I'm nearly 5 digits in the red (and that's on a bear put spread) on a broad short position I opened about 12 trading days ago, but NO GUTS NO GLORY...but I will rock this with a drip-drip Taleb style, deep OTM bang-bang patience...
i've been told this is what the Dotcom bubble was like. unexplainable rallies that wouldn't retrace until the game came to a screeching halt. we've got some ways to go before Shiller ratios hit those peaks.
Looks like it's time for cutbacks.
keep the faith TIS!!! you are inspiring!!! i only hope im with you when there are a few last men standing in this bear bloodbath!!!!
Thanks. I was a deep 5 digits in the red (1st digit beginning with 8) before my losses were erased and it rained nothing but cheddar in 2008.
And life is short & I am playing with a relatively small portion of the gains gleaned last go 'round.
What else am I going to do? Go long salesforce.com, bitchez?
Fewer ICBMs than expected.
you have your facken missiles but we have the facken Teflon market
Hmm... Emperor Palpatine threatens to use the Death Star to blow up Earth.
Stocks go to infinity!
But seriously would stocks tend to infinity as the duration of Earth's continued existence tends to zero?
You gotta love these "markets".
Housing sales miss? Stocks reach record highs.
Mortgage apps plunge? Stocks reach record highs.
GDP revised downward? Stocks reach record highs.
Bad jobs report? Stocks reach record highs.
ICBM launched by Russia? Stocks reach record highs.
It doesn't take a financial wizard to know that the "markets" have been replaced with a constant spoon-feeding of money from the Fed. All that matters at this point is how much gets printed. As long as ctrl+P is on, it's gonna be stawks to the moon despite all the shitty news about the economy and the rest of the world.
But record auto-loans and student-loans mean the loot is flowing. As long as loan-loot is pumping through the veins of the economy there's absolutly nothing to be pessimistic about.
It's like I said awhile ago. When the Fed as head of the World Banking Cabal, controls 51% of the bond market, it is game over. THe bond vigilantes are neutralized. The central banks will then control the bond market and the printer. That means the ponzi is self sustaining. It is the only plan that makes sense when you look at it from the twisted mind of a sociopath banker. Once the threshold is reached, it doesn't matter who tries to sell bonds. China dumped bonds and Belgium bought them. Market rallies. Russia will do the same thing. Doesn't matter when you control the bond market and the printer. That has to be their game. Russia fires an ICBM. Market rallies. It's not that the Fed is out of bullets. It's the world is out of bullets to stop the Fed and the World Banking Cabal from cornering the bond market. ZIRP is the new normal and will continue to infinity and beyond. Debt becomes sustainable in this environment. Repukes cave on debt ceiling. 0zer0 proposes a budget with another stimulus paid for by debt. The EU is a failure, but it is EXPANDING to Eastern Europe. China is the first country to get Direct Bidder status at the Fed Window. A great world wide Ponzi. A sociopath bankers wet dream. Pump & dump to fleece the middle class of whatever assets they have left. The world masses become debt slaves (serfs) in the New Feudal World Order. I know it is counter intuitive, but it has to be their plan. You just have to think like a sociopath to see it. Even now, it even messes with my head, but it makes all this bullshit make sense. The window is closing fast.
Because the ICBM launch was likely scheduled months ago and everybody capable of detecting it knew about it in advance...
Yup, if anything this is a very positive market signal, as Russia continues to advance its doomsday hyper weapons in the face of harsh criticism and the possible commencement of WWIII. This exceptional commitment bodes well for future growth in the Russian economy and this should further buoy an expand the the regions 20 years of stellar rise of GDP, consumption and economic activity, and the growth and co-development of the govt can corporate partnership in these vital sectors. If they keep informing the markets in this way we can expect very great things to come of it.
General "Buck" Turgidson: Gee, I wish we had one of them doomsday hyper weapons...
He's had a lot of practice and a flattened face to prove it.
Putin is now a technical indicator.
Fuck RSI, when Putin launches, go long!!!!
apparently gold doesn't do much good when the ICBM's start flying.
It did recover however.
This is looking the live a VERY hot war with "all sorts of governing authorities getting bad ideas."
Use of force as a "last resort"?
I thought this was about the whole "little brother" thing.
In any case this rally/sell off made little sense to me today...although fuel cell stocks "moonshot" here. Apparently there is a strong belief that natural gas prices are going to go through the roof here and as a consequence there appears to be an "asset grab" going on.
Dangerous stuff because computers can't calculate "uncertainty."
Obviously as humans we understand "Ukraine" means nothing but risk...but a computer doesn't understand that.
For example "the President has the launch codes"...not "the WOPR."
Hard to tell if President Putin is the "Crazy KGB Colonel" or not...but I disagree with those who say he is acting rationally here.
I think he sees Ukraine as "Kiev Rus"...and not "Ukraine"...and indeed he has said as much.
But of course Russia has always seen "Ukraine" (so defined) as "Kiev Rus."
That's why there are so many bodies buried there.
Tens of millions actually.
Is this the blow off top?
Re: Is this the blow off top?
Yup, same one from three years ago.
stocks recovered after everybody learned from russian officials that the launch was planned even before Ukrainian crisis
what is there to really say?
made up crises to ramp up markets, terrible data totally ignored, nothing matters anymore, they will ramp it up to record levels no matter what.
the only thing that will bring this shitfest down is a bank failure.
Maybe the markets will never collapse, and the banksters will stay in charge indefinitely. I will still put my wealth into PMs because FUCK THEM.
Is the fact that the stock indexes are not allowed to go red in light of any shocking event part of a con game or are we observing something else at work? How many different PPTs are keeping these indexes in the green day in and day out? Derivatives must be involved somehow.
Re: How many different PPTs
Why would "they" need a PPT with so MANY pathological above-average people in America who don't even know what a nuclure war is?
The way things are looking it will be a "noclue" war. I am just wondering whether these derivative contracts are making paper wealth on autopilot.
"Is the fact that the stock indexes are not allowed to go red in light of any shocking event part of a con game or are we observing something else at work?"
The stock market is anticipating much stronger growth.
The algos thought "ICBM" meant that Cisco and IBM had a merger.
the people running them (aka. former Army) are stupid enough to think so.
I really wish we could just stop talking about news, events and economics like they have anything in the world to do with today's Federal Reserve pumped up Stock Market.
The Middle Class is being Molested by the degenerate, vulgar maggots running the Federal Reserve system, Corporate Media, and mega Banks. End of Story.
What the fuck will we do it about it?
Please quit talking about Wars, False flags, Jobs reports, PMIs… They are raping us as I speak.. Stealing in broad day light daring you to do anything..
When will we grow tired of being raped by these Maggots?
It's as if we enjoy it.. Every day we wake up and act as if today the Economics will matter..
Come on people.
The Fed system must be Eliminated.
Re: The Fed system must be Eliminated.
The degenerate, vulgar maggots running the Federal Reserve system, Corporate Media, and mega Banks - who also own all the local, state, and Federal politician - who also happen to be supported by the top 20% - will be getting right on this great idea.
Looks like you need to find some way to unite the bottom 80% - the losers of the survival-of-the-fittest society - into a revolution. Good luck!
When has war ever been bad for the top 10%?
i told you over the weekend the dow jones is honey badger. honey badger doesn't GIVE A SHIT about anything. there is no stopping honey badger.
This is the latest print I have on the T-10.2.700 2.608 2.701 2.603 +0.092 +3.51%
Is this how Communists in Russia live? Where do I sign up, dude?
Perhaps it's time for a BATF.... contest? (think of it as gallows humor/l'humour noir)

My entry:
People pooh poohed me when I said yesterday that we would be making new highs by Wednesday but here we are; bears getting blown the fuck out!
Passing 1900 is not even a question at this point, it is a given. The real questions are will we pass 2000 by the end of Q1 and how many months till the COMP breaks out to new all time highs. Both are a 100% certainty, it is just a matter of when.
Seriously, there is ZERO chance that this market goes down at this point; Z.E.R.O. its simply not possible. The only thing that could ever cause the US markets to decline in any sustained way from here would be if we got a president who disbanded the FED and stopped the presses. Or maybe in a year or two from now when the S&P is trading around 5-6000 we could pull back 40-50% but that would still put us substantially above here and good luck holding shorts through that move.
Hell look back at the mid 90s, you could have been short the market in 95/96 arguing that we were overbought and in need of a correction. Ultimately you were right, 5 years later and 300% higher we pulled back but if you even managed to hold shorts for that period you never got em back, not a single fucking chance of it.
same thing will happen here. The market will never again in history trade below 1600 so your risk is a couple hundred points down to 1600 reward up several thousand S&P points from here at least, pretty easy bet to make.
Just close your eyes and buy em.
I'm gonna buy now and then use the profits to get me a place on Elysium, where the smart-n-savvy people will live.
If people didn't get the hint when we miraculously changed direction at S&P 666 that fateful March day in 2009, then watched as the sucker went up over 1200 points in just five years - nearly a tripling in value - then I don't think they're going to get the hint now.
Re: I don't think they're going to get the hint now.
No, most people on here view the economy and markets as some-sort-of morality play.
The moral people doing this, the immoral people doing that, the resolve to stay moral, ...
Some brains don't get the best configurations. Survival of the fittest, shows up in many ways.
Here, here!
Can't give you enough greens...My sentiments exactly. This has got to be the screwiest day in the markets since 1987.
It's all one massive fraud. The whole world has gone insane.
Dr. StrangeMarket. It's after our precious bodily fluids.
I'm sorry to be such a noob, but could some kind soul tell me what 'BFTATH' means?
Thank you. I wasn't up to date with my Zero Hedge acronyms. I was trying to infer the meaning from the context but no dice. These posts will make a lot more sense now.
Until the market drops 50% it is just playing around.
Vlad is now underwriting the market.
What could go wrong?
Russia knows they have insane liberals at the helm of the US.
The politicians in Washington are more concerned about gay marriage and getting high off of pot.
Decreasing the military and spending money on social programs have the highest priority.
Time for China and Russia to take whatever they want, in the mean time the US can get all drugged up and dressed up in drag to express the new US,
The Fed's printing 86 000 000 worth of ICBM's a month and that is the only thing propelling this market. It's printing enough money to contain 172 Fukushima's (compared to how much was spent on it initially). Academically speaking, every nuclear reactor in the world could go into meltdown an the Fed would have it all under control in as little as 2.5 months...
Nothing to worry about! Fed's on the case!
Whu... Wha.... ICBM?
Fuck. Glad I'm drunk.
This is what the cold war was like wasn't it? Russia moves around some troops... america panics. Russia does a thing that is entirely within reason given a circumstance, america panics. Russia tests a missile or moves a ship... america panics. America does a conveniently-timed aggressive drill and calls it "pre-scheduled", tests weapons aimed directly at Russia, publically talks about how they will go to war over everything, laughs about nukes and how they will totally use them.... and if Russia does or says anything in response.... america panics. What a bunch of fucking girls.
Just checking up on Puti's background, and I found this surprising factoid:
"Vladmir Putin earned his BA in International Showmanship from the Pyongyang School of the Performing Arts, where he was named the Kim Jong il Dear One Scholar."
I didn't know that either, but it certainly makes sense now.
Seemingly lost amongst all the praise for his manly actions and the multiple masturbatory orgasms achieved by posters such as the love-struck Freddie, as they gawk at photos of a bareback-riding, bareback and botox'd Puti, is that it is quite likely Putin is batshit crazy. Well, unless we are to join the bandwagon of ZH posters who believe insinuating nuclear Armageddon is a manly man thing and a chess Grandmaster's move, we might begin to entertain the possibility of mental instability on the part of Putin.
Funny you should say that--on the way home from work I listened to NPR interviewing someone who called Putin "unhinged" because he had these crazy ideas about the US fomenting revolt in the Ukraine. I thought it was an ominous bit of MSM rhetoric, reading MSM as propaganda organ. I guess you're on the same program.
Blaming the US for the incompetent bunch of kleptocrats he was backing is about the only thing he can say...
It should take more than a tiny shove to topple the supposed Crown Jewel of the FSU, not to mention the home of the Black Sea Fleet...
The $5 billion over 23 years is peanuts, that is 100 days of gas revenue from the Ukr pipelines.... pittances in the grand scheme of things...
The man can reasonably be accused of many things, being crazy is not amongst them.
So why are you so bothered by the relative praise Putin gets vis a vis Obama, who is a narcissistic puppet controlled by banks and zionists and war profiteers?
If you don't like crazy then perhaps you'll accept childish? Or are you one of those who think it's manly to choose today of all days to test fire a nuke? Or maybe little guy problem? Do you think the Turks are comfortable that the guy keeps an image of Nicholas I in his office? Is it possible that his seeming affection for that dead Tsar is indicative of his long range plans?
As for Obama, I don't recall ever uttering a word of praise for him. Can you understand the concept of seeing both sides as undeserving of either praise or respect, or do you insist everyone must choose from (old style) Red or Blue? Whatever happened to a pox on both your houses?
"The crisis in the Ukraine is a very serious matter that pits the United States against Russia. While we don't know how this crisis will end, we certainly know how it started and who has guided it to this dangerous point. In order to grasp what is really going on in Kiev, we need to understand who is pulling the strings in the so-called EuroMaidan protests and who has been appointed to head the unelected provisional government of the Ukraine. ..."Christopher Bollyn - Understanding the Crisis in Ukraine
I see you subscribe to the school of thought that nobody anywhere in the world ever has an original thought or a personal desire, and must rely on a select group of uber clever folks who habituate Langley, Foggy Bottom or Ft Mead to know what to think and how to act. Makes the world really simple, no doubt.

Lent arrives on February 10! Sign up today for a Lent devotional experience.
Paul's thanksgiving is not finished. Verses 3-4 focused on the Philippian believers themselves and Paul's joy in remembering them in prayer. He now indicates the basis of his joy, which serves as further reason for his thanksgiving: their partnership (koinonia) in the furtherance of the gospel.
The precise nuance of koinonia in this clause, however, is not easy to pin down. Usually translated into English as "fellowship," the word primarily refers to participating in something rather than sharing something in common with others. Its basic sense here, then, is "participation in the spread of the gospel," which in light of verse 7 very likely carries the further connotation of doing so in "partnership with Paul."
It does not take much reading of Paul's letters to recognize that the gospel is the singular passion of his life; that passion is the glue that holds this letter together. The gospel, especially in Philippians, for Paul refers primarily neither to a body of teaching nor to proclamation. Above all, the gospel has to do with Christ, both his person and his work. To preach Christ (vv. 15-16) is to preach the gospel, which is all about Christ; to preach the gospel is to proclaim God's good news of salvation that he has effected in Christ. Thus Paul's joy in prayer is prompted by their partnership in [the furtherance of] the gospel.
The present focus is on the Philippians' longtime association with Paul in the gospel, from the first day until now. According to the rest of the letter this took place in two ways: first by their sharing with him of their material means as he is imprisoned for the sake of the gospel (4:15-16); second by their proclaiming, and living in keeping with, the gospel in Philippi, where they are urged to "contend as one [person] for the faith of the gospel" (1:27) as they there "hold out the word of life" (2:16).

This guy is being ridiculous on a couple levels, but I'm posting this because it's such a telling illustration of white privilege and its implications. It's such a copout to attribute Detroit's 15% unemployment to the people who live there, or to cite instances of welfare fraud as cause for scrapping the whole welfare system, or to stigmatize a whole population of people because "they can't read or use computers" as if that's THEIR fault. It astounds me when I hear an otherwise intelligent person say "Well my grandpa came to this country from Europe with nothing and he pulled himself up by his bootstraps and made something of himself. What's that welfare queen's excuse?"
Excuuuuuuuuse me?
1. People (especially those bastions of privilege that fall in the 16-24 year old age bracket who don't have jobs, pay taxes, or contribute to federal infrastructure in any substantial way other than through spending the allowances their parents give them…spare me) have no business passing judgement on a mom with five kids who's on welfare, or a guy who has been in and out of prison since age 16, or even a crackhead lurking in an alley. Know why? Because more often than not those who judge come from idyllic backgrounds that insulated them from crappy education systems, absent parents, bad neighborhoods, systemic violence and abuse, drug addiction, crime, and poverty. I myself am a product of privilege, which is why I try my best to recognize how my background influences my perspective and then check it when my privileged background would otherwise incline me to judge someone harshly.
2. For those we often label as lazy, stupid, unmotivated, or otherwise deserving of their destitution, the notion of "pulling oneself up by one's bootstraps" is a sad, sick joke. It's easy for a white kid who's great-grandpa immigrated here in the early 20th century to talk about the land of opportunity and the American dream. My ancestors came here at a time when the domestic job market was booming. While some of them were Irish, they managed to get jobs and unfailingly ranked higher in the employment pecking order than did blacks. Systematic oppression eliminated the possibility of an American dream for minorities, and even now as some people like to claim our society is "post-racial" (you know, since we have a black president and all), the implications still resound. To make matters worse, industrial jobs (the first stop on my ancestors' journey to prosperity) have all but dried up in this country, and with the god-awful condition of American public education, there is no foreseeable way to correct the skills gap between the undereducated poor and the high-tech jobs that are becoming the backbone of our economy.
3. Of course there are those who cite people like Obama and Oprah as counter-arguments to my claims about how our perspectives are distorted by privilege. To me, that just sounds like blatant tokenism used to ameliorate white guilt and justify non-support of programs intended to help all the non-Oprahs out there. Let's get real. Obama's and Oprah's life trajectories are celebrated because they are anomalies. Obama and Oprah absolutely cannot be used as synecdoches for the collective experience of American minorities.
If I sound a little ticked, it's because I am. There's so much I wish I could say to people who engage in such reprehensible victim blaming. Unfortunately I'm usually so aghast at the blindness afforded by white privilege that all I can manage is a mild "haha check your privilege" or else risk sounding like a crazy.
Okay, end rant.
PS – Does anyone know how I can blur out the person's name in the above Facebook exchange? I don't want to get sued or anything.

Find over 200 print-friendly fact sheets about heart disease and related health topics.
Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a hole between the upper chambers of the heart that fails to close after birth. This hole, which allows blood to go around the lungs while in the womb, naturally closes in most infants shortly after being born. But in as many as 1 in 4 individuals, the hole fails to close after birth. Despite PFO being extremely common, little is known about the condition.
Fortunately, a recent article published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology compiled everything we have learned about PFO over the years, from causes and complications to optimal treatment for this condition.
How can I prevent PFO?

Quit interesting, beautiful work!
the wood grain is perfect for this!
i would be so scared to open my silverwear cabnit and catch a glimpse
Sorry for the slow response... I am overseas just now and internet is sometimes not available. I just wanted to say Thank You to all of you for your comments. They give me a lift. Be back soon......
That is the coolest spoon ever.
Great design and nice finish!
Fine Working and a very good idea. I have never seen wood like that. It recalls lacewood.
Fantastic concept and the wood grain of the macadamia wood is perfect, it looks just like scales!
Love the way the wood has scales naturally! :}
Macadamia is one of several woods that have that sort of grain pattern... which look kind of 'scaly'.
This is so beautiful! The curves look so natural, very realistic. I'm a sucker for snakes and would love to have something like this. Awesome!
That is so kind of you to say. I have always thought snakes to be remarkably beautiful.... and full of grace. I suppose they got a bad rap with the Adam and Eve story. <grin> Thank you. ~ Terry
Thank all of you for your comments. I appreciate them. BlumenStrasse.... that macadamia wood does have a sort of snake like grain. Thanks again.
Love how the grain goes with the shape. really brings out the "snake"!
That would definitely be a conversation starter at a coffee table. I don't imagine it's really strong enough for every day use, as it's carved and not formed to the shape.
Imagine this sticking out of your bowl of soup on a dreary day! Beautiful work.
That's beautiful! What a cool idea.
i want one.
Thank y'all.
I like the idea xD it's pretty cool!!!!!
S-s-s-splendid !
Sinsister, yet beautiful!

"Vividly re-creating the pageantry and violence of the 1400s, Cornwell takes readers into the heart of the soldiering class in this intimate retelling of the Battle of Agincourt. With a brisk pace and a brilliant evocation of everyday life, he details the brutality of war and the lives of the men who fought." (Booklist Online)
The CRRL is proud to partner with area historians, museums, tourism agencies, organizations, churches, and scholars to provide programs and information that can promote understanding of the events that exploded here in the 1860s and their far-reaching impact.
Over the last four years the community has been invited to commemorate—through lectures, re-enactments, exhibits, film screenings, and musical performances—the extraordinary fact that we were a war zone from 1861-1865.
Our Art Films series features short films exploring artists and the creative process, generously loaned to us by the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. Showings are held at the Headquarters library on select second Wednesdays, 7:00 pm.
Brooklyn is a tough place to grow up in the early part of the 20th century. It's made of immigrant families struggling to get by. Young Francie Nolan, half German and half Irish, adores her handsome father, the sometime singing waiter, and her more hard-minded mother who scrubs floors and does much to give her kids a better life. But, uneducated as her parents are, they have few choices and huge problems that a bright girl like Francie can certainly see.
This June, Fredericksburg has two wonderful events that will bring to light lesser-known aspects of African-American history. On Saturday, June 20, the library will join the Race Coalition's celebration of "Juneteenth," the date in 1865 when news of the 13th Amendment finally reached the last slaves in Galveston, Texas, 2½ years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. Despite the long delay, there was much cause for celebration, and many Juneteenth traditions have ensued. This year marks the 150th anniversary, and you are invited to celebrate! Enjoy inspirational and educational performances and activities to promote cross-cultural understanding, unity, and peace. Stop by the library's table at the Juneteenth Celebration, Saturday, June 20, at noon at New City Fellowship, 200 Prince Edward Street, Fredericksburg, Va. For more information, contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

After all, any reading is good reading!. While we have plenty of titles featuring your typical superheroes, here are a few suggestions that star the more unusual sort.
What do YOU think about the future of the library? Tell us at an upcoming focus group!
Focus groups provide an opportunity for us to talk with you about your vision for the library. All library users are welcome, and you can attend any session regardless of where you live or which library you use.

This show was mad for fox but they didn't accept it, so this is the MTV version. It's hilarious.
... and now they all work for SNL and make bank.
BTW this isn't exactly "All Ages" ... for some reason they sensored everything except that weird porno/trl skit near the beginning.
that show is FUCKED UP! It had its moments though.
Jorma looks like a young Johnny Knoxville...
Fucken MUCK.

If I pooped into my hand, then threw it at the screen, it would be more entertaining than this

Like veined cheese, sourdough bread, and vintage wine, great country ham awakens that special fascination taste buds have for flavors that teeter on the refined side of rot. Southern Kitchen country ham is brick-red, salty, and powerfully tasty, not for palates who crave the blubbery pink stuff that comes in cans from the supermarket. For true ham-lovers, it is divine, especially with a side order of sweet stewed tomatoes to balance the savory smack of the griddle-sizzled slices of pigmeat.
Ham is great for breakfast, lunch, and supper. The Southern Kitchen's other four-star specialty is something you want only for lunch or supper: peanut soup. A true Virginia treat, peanut soup can vary from bisque-thick to brothy; the version made by this kitchen tends towards the velvety kind, rich with butter but not thickened with cream, onion-sweet and silky. It is a satisfying soup, but it leaves you enough appetite to move on to one of the other gratifying cafe meals available here, such as ham with raisin sauce, fried chicken, or pan-fried trout from the James River. To finish any one of these exemplary western Virginia spreads, have a wedge of apple or coconut cream pie.
The Southern Kitchen is a supremely casual café that serves locals as well as tourists on their way through the Shenandoah Valley to the Luray Caverns. Seating is at a counter or in booths, and decor includes deer trophies above the booths on the paneled walls as well as beautiful whole hanging country hams (for sale). Place mats are paper; and service, by uniformed waitresses, is speedy and pleasant.
NOTE: In 2014, the family that has run the Southern Kitchen for decades sold it. Preliminary visits to the restaurant indicate that it hasn't changed all that much and the food is still good. We'll keep our fingers crossed that it stays on the beam!

"Country breakfast: cured ham, oven-hot biscuits, and a pair of sunnyside-up eggs. Whole hams, wrapped in burlap, are available for sale near the cash register."
Michael Stern
"A close view of Southern Kitchen peanut soup shows that it isn't quite as smooth as it feels on the tongue. Little bits of nut and onion give it extra character. In my book, this is the definitive peanut soup."
Michael Stern
"I love country ham so much that I have given fried chicken short shrift in past visits to the Southern Kitchen. That's a mistake I won't make again. This is four-star chicken, with skin so luscious it brought me to my knees in gratitude."
Michael Stern
"Note the softened saltine cracker among the stewed tomatoes that accompany this dinner-size slab of country ham; it's traditional in stewed tomato recipes to include either crackers or white bread, probably to soften the sugar punch."
Michael Stern
"Mounted trophy, juke-box, and well-upholstered benches: a booth at the Southern Kitchen is an only-in-America place to eat."
Michael Stern
"High-rise peanut butter pie"
Michael Stern
"A blurry picture of a sharply-seasoned sausage patty. Maybe not as wonderful as the ham, but one of the best breakfast sausages I've had in ages."
Michael Stern
"The peanut soup at the Southern Kitchen is worth the trip."
David Peterson
"Even though it was only 8:00 in the morning, they were happy to make a pork chop dinner for me. They weren't that thick, but the pork chops were flavorful and surprisingly juicy."

Best Hobby Shop For The Model Citizen (2001)
The Hobby Bench
Once upon a time, an excited youth with a new model airplane kit could visit any drugstore to purchase "hobby paint" right off the shelf. Today, thanks to social disintegration, such substances are kept under lock and key, lest they be stolen and used for nefarious purposes -- like paint-sniffing or marking buildings with gang insignia. But not at the Hobby Bench, where nostalgia rules. Where else might one find a model kit of the Bates Mansion from Psycho? Or that old standard "Visible Woman" model, with all her internal organs displayed? Neato miniatures and all the requisite railroad-enthusiasts stuff can be found here, along with a wealth of model cars, model-making supplies, and craft items. And yes, you can walk right on up to that big rainbow-hued rack of "hobby paints" and help yourself.

Together with Sclater, Rena Mefford (Seattle Times, Composing) and Michelle Uhrbom (Seattle Times, Composing) will form the union committee for tomorrow's meeting.
A full bargaining bulletin with details of both meetings will be posted following the conclusion of the Composing session.

Wednesday, March 2
Friday, March 4

NewsGuild-CWA Launches New Website Dedicated To Helping Digital Media Workers Organize
Recently, the NewsGuild-CWA received a lot well-deserved attention with a slam-dunk organizing win at the Guardian US, where staff voted 45-0 for the union. This was quickly followed by a petition for representation from news staff at Al Jazeera America. With parallel successes by the Writers Guild of America East at Gawker and Vice, union organizing in digital media looks to be on a strong and noisy upswing.
Journalists in digital newsrooms clearly want and need the same kind of job protections and effective representation that the Guild has historically provided in print newsrooms. Staff in digital media face more challenges and pressures than ever, and as union originally founded by and for working journalists, the Guild is a natural fit as an organizing partner. What's more, the Guild has been actively representing digital staff longer than just about anybody, starting with the online newsrooms of many major newspapers, and including the first completely digital-only operation to organize, Truthout, where staff joined the Guild all the way back in 2009.
In order to provide a gateway for other digital staff wanting to organize, and to provide more background on the Guild and its experience representing journalists of all stripes, including those working in digital, the NewsGuild-CWA has set up a new, dedicated website focused on digital organizing. The site offers quotes and comments from Guild members working in digital media, information on the history of the Guild's digital organizing, and confidential links to communicate with Guild organizers.
For anyone interested in bringing a bit of union solidarity online, digitalmediaguild.org is clearly going to be the place to start.
Great Recent Labor Reporting In Words and Pictures
If you missed it earlier, take some time to check out this great Seattle Times piece featuring women working in traditionally male trade jobs. Interviews and stories by Susan Kelleher, photo work by Bettina Hansen.
The women and the jobs featured range from ironworker to electrician to wild-land firefighter, and include a couple of original "Rosie the Riveters" who got their start at Boeing back during World War Two. The story helps show both how far women have come (see illustration above) and the challenges they still face.
There's also a bonus "Behind the Byline" piece by Bettina, in which she talks about the equipment and approach she used to create the photos. It's a nice extra, interesting both from a technical point of view, for photography buffs, but also very much in keeping with the labor theme; literally, the story of the work that goes into creating what you see.
The piece was originally published in the September 6, 2015 edition of Pacific NW, the Seattle Times Sunday magazine supplement. If you've a mind to get yourself a nice glossy-paper original, the helpful folks in back issues can be contacted here.

Equestrian Vacations
I want to go on an equestrian vacation with my mom. We are willing to spend about $2500-$3000 for the whole thing but with obviously prefer less lol! Does anyone know any good sites? We would like to ride somewhere in the USA and we want to do like a week-long trip, especially if we are paying $2500. Let me know if you guys know of any places.
I've already checked out equestrianvacataions.com but none of them were close enough to home.
Thats what I want to do too! I want to take my daughter Ellie, she's only five, so I dont know how that would work. :?
But its something I've always wanted to do. :D
I'm Sixteen and my mom is now in her mid-40's and we haven't vacationed for over 8 years. We are well overdue. No one else in my family is horse-crazy like us so we figure it as a late sixteenth birthday present for me. (Most people get cars, well i get an equestrian vacation which beats a new car ANY day)
Do you want to take your own horses or have them supplied? You might check the Best of America by Horseback site. If you have RFD TV you may have seen the show. They do some places that you take your own horse and others where they will supply them.
Here is a link to the page with the rides they have highlighted on the show. There is another page that has riding areas by state. It might at least give you some ideas
The only ones we have been to are the one in Kansas and the one in Oklahoma.
Oh dear! there is a place I would dream to go to. It's out in Ireland and you go on a 2-7 days trail riding trip on Clydes! all they use is those gorgeous drafts.
The next place I would go to without a doubt.

Now, with Shaping Things, design gets full-court consideration in a powerfully argued thesis tracking the profession's trajectory toward a new product order...On top of being one of the most strikingly insightful little volumes on the design shelves, Shaping Things, designed by Lorraine Wild, is one of the most originally and empathically crafted pieces of evidence that artifacts do evolve, and that designers may hold the keys to a more sophisticated relationship to the things around us we take for granted.(Architect's Newspaper)
Shaping Things is full of entirely readable large ideas, made palatable by Lorraine Wild's clean but evocative book design. The whole project exudes a confidence-building, you-too-can-be-an-architect-of-the-future tone, much like the work of Buckminster Fuller, who like Sterling was a practical visionary and often had to create a new language to describe his ideas...In the end, Shaping Things asks us to consider how we can create a sustainable future, using all the information available to us as consumers, without the preachiness that accompanies the environmental and sustainable lifestyle movements.(Los Angeles Times Book Review)
Shaping Things is really about shaping experiences. Sterling brilliantly makes you more aware of experiences that your customers have -- or don't have -- with objects... Shaping Things presents a robust typology of technologies to inspire marketers and provoke innovators into rethinking their market offerings' essential qualities.(Michael Schrage Across the Board Magazine)
It's the most thought provoking thing I've read all year...I can tell that this is a book I'll return to again and again and get more out of it each time I do. It's a wonderful and timely work that is a must-read in an age of ubiquitous computation, universal information resources, and hacker-activist renaissance, there's no better primer for putting it all together.(Cory Doctorow BoingBoing)
A manifesto for the future of design, impeccably crafted by Bruce Sterling and enhanced by the delicately emphatic graphic intelligence of Lorraine Wild... Shaping Things hovers between science fiction and design fact, pushing forward into the future and showing how design happens.(Bill Moggridge, Cofounder, IDEO)

Gwar at First Avenue, 11/18/12
Photo by Erik Hess
First Avenue, Minneapolis
Sunday, November 18, 2012
The packed First Avenue mainroom began to bubble over with anticipation as Gwar was about to take the stage. One year after last year's now legendary performance in the same room that will forever be remembered as the band's last with guitarist Cory Smoot AKA Flattus Maximus who passed away mere hours after the band's performance. A mosh pit was already taking form as the sound system lit up with Black Sabbath's "War Pigs," inspiring a singalong which segued into a gospel and a choir singing "Hallelujah!"
As they finally entered, the stage lead alien Oderus Urungus shouted "Shut the fuck up! Yeah, God created life and all that. The Mayans, the Rapture. This is the hour of your doom!" as the band charged full throttle into a scorching 90-minute set of thrashing punk metal and stage antic insanity.

Gwar guitarist Cory Smoot found dead on tour bus this morning following show in Minneapolis
"Oh no! It's the 47 percent" Oderous cried out as the first guest character to be skewered through the evening joined the stage. Mitt Romney didn't last very long and accepted the wrath of Gwar and their various methods of torture beginning with a swift beheading. With blood spritzing in all directions, curdling guitars and pummeling drums, Gwar powered through "Womb with a View," "Madness at the Core of Time" and "Saddam a Go-Go" that quite graphically depicted the dictator getting brutally ass raped with an iron cross.
Though not immediately acknowledged, a remberence for Flattus Maximus in spirit Oderus introduced the new guitarist and "cousin" of the former axeman, Pustulus Maximus, "Gwar is alive and strong! We have a new scumdog of the universe. Here's one from our new album. It will be out whenever the fuck we feel like it." tearing into a fresh one of the band's patented brand of spazzed-up thrash.
"This one is for the United States government. The only government in the world to drop nuclear bombs on innocent people. We love them for that." Urungus lovingly commented As their henchmen in loincloths and elongated scrotums cleared out some of the debris.

As blood continued spraying all over the audience, the rapid pacing and theatrically unhinged performance continued to take bizarre and fantastic turns as suddenly Hitler found himself on stage to be the next victim of their bloody axes. "Take a minute to say 'Heil Hitler.' I mean say hi to Hitler. He's a real asshole." Not lasting long Hitler suffered the traditional tearing off of his face until only his eye balls, tongue and skeleton in place engulfed in yet even more splattering blood.
Eventually, it was finally time for the "Second Crucifiction of Jesus Christ" as it took more than one band member to cut Jesus, already mounted on the cross, straight into half and blood drenched bits. "You know things are going good so far but we haven't yet had sex with dead babies." Oderus explained sounding a bit forlorn as band laid down the jazz groove of "Have You Seen Me?" with a chain of dead babies handling some of the background vocals.
In a post-political season, Gwar had no shame in unleashing upon characters from current events and in between Super Cyborg Jesus and their own self-mutilation Gwar encored with a somewhat predictable climax, the beheading of Barack Obama. With a somewhat borderline racist impersonation the character would suffer an even more extreme destiny as blood and bile rushed from his torso and out into the adoring crowd who were loving every minute of it.
Photos by Erik Hess
As was evident all night it wasn't until during the encore there was a heartwarming tribute to Smoot's absence. "Let me hear it one time for Flattus Maximus. We've spent the last year mourning him, we've cried for him, we've flatulated on our genitals for him." bringing everyone together Gwar seared through a surprising cover of Kansas' "Carry On My Wayward Son" done only the way Gwar could perform it and while tossing some of the willing women from the audience into a giant meat grinder.
For almost thirty years now Gwar has been a super-charged performance group. It's amazing they have been able to continually build on their characters and reputation. As alien visitors they never hold back and been able to capitalize on a melange of a disgustingly brilliant approach to staged metal theater that always causes mouths to drop and silly grins to open up to the dark side of the human psyche that shares in the joy of not taking too much terribly seriously.
Critic's Bias:Being completely possessed by Gwar before I will always bow and kneel before the monstrous dong of Oderus Urungus.
The Crowd: Virtually as insane as the band themselves. You don't go to a Gwar show not ready and willing to be completely drenched in blood, bile and semen by the end of the night.
Overheard in the Crowd: "I want to be in Gwar sooo bad!!"
Random Notebook Dump: Flattus Maximus would be very proud.

New York recently legalized "gay" marriage. This is only the latest in a long list of how America has been turning its back on biblical authority:
Are U.S. evangelicals losing their influence on America? A new poll released Wednesday from the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life seems to say just that, with the vast majority -- 82 percent -- of U.S.evangelical leaders saying their influence on the country is declining. . . .The article quotes various Christian leaders and what they believe needs to be done. However, not once is there any suggestion that the major problem is the loss of biblical authority in our churches. Here's what I've noticed:
"There was a time when there was a Ten Commandments in every classroom, there were prayers in public places," he [Rev. S. Douglas Birdsall, executive chairman of the Lausanne Movement] said. "So having gone from that position of considerable influence, even though we might actually have more influence than churches in ... other parts of the world, the sense is that it's slipping from our hands."
The perception of declining influence comes as the nation has become both more pluralistic and more secular. The vast majority of U.S.leaders surveyed -- 92 percent -- called secularism a major threat to evangelical Christianity. . . .
The Southern Baptist Convention, which drew the smallest attendance since World War II at a recent meeting in Phoenix, and is grappling with declining baptism rates, has launched a plan to diversify its leadership.
I urge you to obtain these two books for your pastors and every Christian leader you know (even the elders, deacons, and Sunday school teachers in your church). The more we can get Christian leaders to understand the foundational nature of the problem, the more eyes are opened and vital changes can be made.

Yesterday morning we took a panga ride around Black Turtle Cove off the coast of Santa Cruz. It was nice to ride instead of walk for a change! The highlight of the trip was the blue-footed boobies and their amazing ariel display. There were hundreds of them just floating on the water as we came around a corner in the cove. Within moments as if responding to some unknown signal, they all took flight, flew a short circle in the air, and then dive-bombed back into the water to capture their prey. It was incredible to see so many of them doing it at once! I was thrilled to be able to capture it on my little video camera.Visit Georgia's blog post to read more and see some photos from her trip.
Among the mangroves our naturalist points out a striated heron. He blends in so well with the scenery that he's even hard to see in the photo! We also see an Olive Ridley turtle and several baby white- and black-tipped sharks, but it is difficult to take photos of through the reflection on the water.
Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,

Nothing dramatizes the two-tier public-education system quite like the announcement by the First Couple that their daughters, 10 and 7, will attend Sidwell Friends, perhaps the elitist of the elite private schools in Washington, tuition $30,000 a year.
"Sidwell," the parents joke, "is where Episcopalians teach Jews how to be Quakers." The Obamas called Sidwell, as the locals refer to it, the "best fit" of security and comfort for their children. No doubt. Few begrudge the Parents in Chief seeking the best education money can buy. It's easier than choosing a puppy.
Unfortunately, most Americans don't have that kind of opportunity or that kind of money, particularly in Washington, where the public schools are, to put it kindly, lousy. These schools are distinguished for the lowest performance rates of any school district in the nation despite spending $13,000 per pupil, third highest in the country.
No congressman sends his children to public schools in the nation's capital. More than a quarter of the teachers in the public schools send their children to private school. The Obamas noted that their friends, many of whom will become colleagues on the White House staff, send their daughters to private schools. Joe Biden's grandchildren will go to school with the Obama girls. Chelsea Clinton went to Sidwell and then on to Stanford and Oxford. President Carter sent his daughter Amy to a public school for a while, but soon reconsidered and sent her to Sidwell and then to Brown. Private-school education doesn't determine acceptance to an elite college, but it makes it easier.
Though Washington has several good charter schools, which are funded with public money and run independently of the public-school bureaucracy, their capacity is limited. (The Obama girls would likely have made the cut.) My grandsons attend one, and there's a long waiting list. Charters are not burdened with platinum-plated union contracts and "teacher tenure" designed to protect the incompetents.
Reforms are vehemently opposed by the American Federation of Teachers, the big umbrella union with lots of clout. Beholden as he is to the unions, the president-elect is not likely to offend them. He has emphatically opposed vouchers because they "might benefit some kids at the top; what you're going to do is leave a lot of kids at the bottom." Unlike his own kids, who have already fled.

soooooooooo awsome
Oh this is a splendid idea! May I ask how you designed the body? It's not visible under the dress so is it jointed or...?
I drew a pattern in 3 minutes. I made an attempt, and that was it! The outfit is removable. They can have a full dressing room.
Oh that is quite amazing! I wish to try making something like this myself.. would you mind me to? I thought I would ask your permission to use the idea only.
Thank you very much. Yes, it`s true, a lot of work. Thank you.
Taking lessons from Lyra, eh Fluttershy?
Awww- so cute
How do you make it stand? Is it the tail that balances her?
How do you make it stand? Is it the tail that balances her?
Twilight stands alone without the help of the tail, and Fluttershy has a larger tail and it balances. Without a tail to become the same. It's a matter of balance throughout the construction.
Ahhh too cute She's beautiful!I love the fact that she's standing up and the way you designed her dress! Wonderful work
She looks adorable and that dress looks great on her
This really is the cutest and one of the most well made plushies I have seen! Really love her pose, the dress, the animals...love it all! Great concept!
she is insanely adorable great job on her she is lovely!
Well this is the cutest fluttershy plush i've ever seen. Absolutely adorable
Great work! Realy cute!
Beautiful work. Inspiring as always.
"My project, my pattern, my all."
Well, except the character herself.

I have tried the higher dosage one in this make and that was slightly better. Take it for allergies, but have to break the capsule open as it's gelatin and it doesn't agree with me. Although it is free of all the other allergens that affect me, so I have been quite happy with it, but will try others on the site and compare and will get back to you.
