Seems everyone's given up due to the glitch.
I watched the Tim Lester/Katter interview link. Katter has a lot to offer, shame he's so homophobic and anti environmentalist.
He does act in our interests with sincerity, especially his stance on 457s and CSG.
Abbotts arrogance of running the whole show may well be upset with more Kattorites entering the game. And he will NOT be guaranteed their vote - mavericks.
What A bumbling fool Conroy is akin to Cleese in faulty towers. How some Labor mp's get to these positions is a mystery as they have no clue with money and only in it for $$ as they have never run a business to appreciate how its done. 19 out of 2000 odd schools have nbn! Disgraceful conroy.
"Now business leader James Packer has weighed in warning both sides of politics not to send xenophobic messages to Asia."
The irony is that it is only an issue in Asia because Abbott and Morrison turned a reasonable issue of visa abuse into a fake outrage claim that that foreign migrants are being demonised. Interestingly, 457 visa holders are not migrants - they only hold temporary visas and are expected to leave the country upon the expiry of their visas.
Of course, the real demonisation, Scott Morrison's hideously ugly demand for equal treatment for asylum seekers and convicted pedophiles in the community goes unremarked. And certainly not repudiated by anyone in the senior ranks of the Liberal Party, least of all Saint Malcolm.
I am wondering when John McTernan's 457 VISA will run out. Would that be September 14 by chance?
So apparently the faceless men approached Gillard this afternoon - would love to hear if this is confirmed. As Pyne said, white smoke out of Rome, black smoke out of labor.
The faceless men back from Darwin already kp? You know things are going bad when Labor MP's make jokes about it in QT and Abbott et al go silent.You must not have got the memo kp......"all infiltrators and subversive servants of the party shall refrain from using the term "faceless men".
Beware the ides of March... I think they said.
I don't think the faceless men, after a mercy dash from Melbourne to Darwin would have the time to make to Canberra. And, besides, they will probably be needed to put Queensland out of its Cando misery first.
Another political day where an uninterested Opposition Leader leads a disinterested political party.
That's why "Slick" Abbott will not talk about policy.
Why won't Gillard answer questions? Another question time of the PM refusing to answer a question....does she have that much contempt for the parliament?
Seems everyone's given up due to the glitch.

It's a shame that the man has his own set of values and principles? Sick of opposition to gay marriage being labelled as fear. More like first world problems
Katter has a lot of good ideas that a minority government could have benefited from however the other two independents decided to cast the dice with Gillard and her mob.
Albo whispering the news about the faceless me who are coming to see Truthful Julia. Yes - this Govt has lost its way, again. Dear oh dear, when will this sorry saga end.
So how does the dialogue go?
"Hey Julia that faceless 'enough is enough' has invited himself to the Lodge for dinner tonight, make sure Tim has the beer cold and ensure you laugh at all is jokes".
Our ALP friends are very quiet by this time of the day. Do their batteries run out mid-arvo or something?
Just so difficult to stop laughing at "Slick" Abbott's cheer squad.
@Whyalla - chill man, chill. You lot really are angry abusers or what? Show some decorum. Are things so bad and desperate?
@ Slicky - now that I take offense to. I don't even vote LNP. Just because I dislike the ALP/unions doesn't mean I'm a member of some goon squad. I'm a member of the public completely dissillusioned by the ALP. Take a broader view of the world would you.
Perfectly chilled 457 - but if you want to see abuse, just look at some of your fellow spruikers for the Liberals.
PS, it appears that references to a mass-murderer like Stalin are OK for our leading politicians and business leaders, but not references to the world of Harry Potter. Sad.
1.58pm Julia, batting aside a question, who would have thought ..Julia Gillard not answering a question. Beggars belief doesn't it?
Ok then Whyalla, would you get the PM to answer my 2 very serious Qs I posed to the PM? Or perhaps you could do it on her behalf?
Why do we have a speaker of the house? oh, that's right. The defined benefits pension merry-go -round - everyone has a turn.
@Whyalla Wipeout - c'mon we are all friends here - admit you are Craig Emerson hiding behind a not so subtle
pseudonym. Your anti-Abbott rhetoric certainly mirrors that of Emerson.
Enough-I nominate Sophie or Scott to have a go then.
What a hoot!
Out of curiosity, how does K. Rudd behave during Q time? Respectfully pensive or does he gesticulate?
Too busy plotting his return to the top job to be overtly gesticulating in QT
I would over the PM to answer 2 simple questions:
1. Would the PM call back all the Australians working overseas on 457 equivalent visas; i.e., those Australians taking the jobs of locals in the countries they're in?
2. Using the PM's 457 "logic", would she also like to stop the multitude of foreign retail companies wishing to expand or set-up stores in Australia?
Exellent questions @JS. Good luck with getting Gillard to reply though.
Do you know what overseas equivalents there are for 457 visas? Are the requirements the same, or did you just fantasise this up as some sort of way to avoid the issue.
As for foreign businesses, they have to abide by Australian laws, including the employing of Australians. The abuse of the 457 visa class is to deal with the opposite.
And to get one thing clear. The issue is the ABUSE of the visa class, not the visa itself. Just like successive governments have amended the spouse visa when its provisions have been abused, there is no question of abolishing the class.
There are many occasions where we need skilled temporary employees from overseas. But that does not mean we should allow unscrupulous employers to use the visa to drive down Australian pay and conditions and import semi-skilled and unskilled workers as Brendan O'Connor outlined in QT today.
What ridiculous questions. You really don't understand 457 visas, do you?
Geez Whyalla, no need to be so angry; it's just a debate of views. I worked o/s in 3 different countries on a 457-equivalent visa so I think i know what I'm talking about.
if there is such "abuse", why didn't this govn address it, via Rudd or Gillard, in the 5 or so years they've been in power and thus could do saomethig about it? Demonising 457-holders who bring valuable skills and knowledge to this country just reinforces how many countries, particularly Asian ones, view Aust now days - backward-looking and protectionist.
Remember Australia's immigrant history - the country's built by "457-types".
JS, I suggest you do a bit of external reading. dept of Immigration a good start. Then you could checkout other countries and see what their requirements are.
I can verify 457s are being rorting. As WW alludes to it is not the 457 in itself. It is the abuse by business and applicants.
Katter (watch the interview- link here) would like to see them down to 6,000! Who cares if it's taken the govt so long to address the issue- at least they are. The McT issue is just political postulating.
My gawd you ALP people, calm down for goodness sakes. You'll have an aneurysm with such venom. As I mentioned, I worked o/s on 3 different 457-type visas, so i know what requirements there are and what this country's is.
This so-called 457 rort is akin to the no, of boats to illegal immigration; i.e., a small relative number. Demonising the 457 value is plain dumb. And you talk of political postulating??
JS, you asked some inane questions, which deserved the informative answers you got from me and country gal.
I don't know what countries you worked in, but I do know from years of working in the Department of Immigration here, that there is no such thing as 'equivalent' visas in every aspect. One thing I know is that it is impossible to design any visa class which will always have every loophole closed. Sooner or later we get smart characters who start an industry exploiting those loopholes and the loopholes have to be closed. It was no different under Ruddock.
If you don't like the answers, don't shoot the messengers. Just do your homework better.
Fancy Ruddock talking about sending messages. How about "Children Overboard". How can we ever forget when the demonisation and xenophobia began.
Talk about a thick hide and no humility.
If there is to be any benefit from PH standing, it will be the exposé of Tony's Trust Fund to nail PH.
Can't wait
Love the air quotation marks!
Is this same cheap local hospital labour that was paying Craig Thomson's union credit card bills?
Can 457 holders be admitted as union members ?
Only if you work at a ski resort
Yes they can join the union Hacka - but they are more compliant, given that the employers can sack them and send them back to where they came from if they rock the boat.
It is your beloved John Howard, with Tony Abbott as his "health" minister, who trashed the employment standards in the health industry so that we need to import 457 visa holders to fill all the vacant positions. And these are legitimate visa holders because the Liberals made sure that there were hardly any Australians around to fill the jobs.
Can anyone tell me why if there has been any injury of any sort, that a sum of money will fix things?
It is our first response but I think that there should be a raft of pastoral care and support before any discussion of $$. The proposed cap give us a figure of $50 million cap if there are only 1000 cases. How many more people will be encouraged to come forward with such riches being offered. How many trivial things will be accepted when the emphasis should be on the serious cases. There should be compulsory counselling before any payment be made, and there should be a test of demonstrably reduced financial earnings before any abuse be cashed out. Just giving $$$ will not deal with the emotional and psychological scars that some people would have got through their ordeal. Other hand there are going to be some who will try and jump on the gravy train!!
Twist a pig's ear and watch it squeal. Conroy must be doing the right thing if David Flint has popped up to huff and puff.
Yeah got a run in the Brisbane Murdoch owned "news" paper.
Probably the Hobart, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Darwin and then the massive list of regional "news: papers as well.
No doubt Fox went berserk.
Kim Whatsisname, Murdoch's Australian henchman, did a pretty good job of hysterically talking over Tony Jones last night (and TJ typically allowed himself to be bullied into submission).
What I found really amusing was his over-the-top Stalinist propaganda justification for comparing Conroy to Stalin. I'm sure there are a lot of Ukrainians who would appreciate the comparison which minimises Stalin's crimes.
This government seems hell-bent on being thrown out at the election. Does Conroy et al really think that in muzzling critical media will increase their chances?
So did Albo draw the short straw? There certainly seems to be little support from his colleagues, based on the empty seats behind him.
I thought the irony of the morning was Turnbull sitting in the PMs chair.
Wonder what was going through his head.
Hmm, rather like this seat, how can I get rid of Tony? Just bide my time?
Have patience @A country gal, I predict Turnbull will be PM in either the 2nd or 3rd term of the Coalition Government - all good things come those who wait.
Tim, don't get too excited. If that's your prediction, the whole nation will be on antidepressants if Abbott is in for 3 terms!
The fat lady hasn't sung yet.
A week is a long time in politics.
@ACG, that's my point, Abbott will most likely lead in the first term only - Turnbull will lead the Coalition in the 2nd and 3rd terms. Labor should be able to sort themselves out after 3 or so terms on the opposition benches and give the Coalition a good run for it's money in the 4th term election. Seems like a long time away for Labor, but it will happen.
I have commented here before that Tony Abbott hasn't impressed me at all in his words and deeds as a Rhode's Scholar. As the opposition leader, he has been behaving like a bull in a China shop-holding the parliament question time to ransom with the frequency of suspension of standing orders to censure his nemesis: Prime Minister Julia Gillard. All such attempts ended up as damp squibs. After the Armageddon prediction of the sky would fall on 1st of July, 20 12 due to the Carbon Tax, Abbott has been on the run that he could not appear on the ABC's Q&A television program. Abbott's predicament is reminded me of the Neil Sadaka's song "Run Samson run"
Oh, run Samson run, Delilah's on her way Run Samson run,
you ain't got time to stay………..
That lady barber was very well equipped,
You can bet your bottom dollar, he was gonna get clipped.
On the other hand, Julia Gillard has proved her worth as a Prime Minister with prime ministerial quotients aplenty. She has appeared on the ABC Q&A program and twice she made available for the media scrutiny over the AWA scandal.
It was an embarrassing movement yesterday's parliament question time. Julia Gillard taught Abbott about the basics of the government functionality over Abbott's question about the budget overrun of the Asylum seeker arrivals. Shouldn't Abbott know about this that he was a minister of the Howard government? In her reply Julia Gillard's subtle backhanded comment about Costello kept Abbott far away from the Budget Office was also embarrassing.
To me, it is bewildering that Abbott has an economics degree.
Abbott could have stopped the influx of asylum seekers coming to our shores, if he had supported the Government's Migration Amendment bill.
Has not the MSM noticed the increasingly loud demands from bloggers and posters (except from liberal trolls) for Tony Abbott to face some degree of questioning on his cutesy three word slogans?
I fear (or hope) that should it not respond to these reasonable demands the MSM will become increasingly irrelevant in peoples eyes and they will go elsewhere for their news. Failing to respond to clients demands is the fastest way to go of of business.
A ringing endorsement of the Conroy Bill is the Murdoch media and the "Slick" Abbott cheer squad all squealing like pigs.
Do you think the extremely negative editorial in the SMH today is also a "ringing endorsement" of the Conroy Media Control Bill?
For someone who rabbited on yesterday about the importance of free speech, your support for this Orwellian bill is truly amazing.
How very dignified of you. Look at what you;ve written - have you no shame? What's wrong with this country?
The only good thing about the Greens is that they will wipeout Albo at the next election. Albo will be greatlful as he can then spend more time at home on his defined benefits pension wondering where it all went wrong.
Never forget your man with the silver hair from Brisbane lurking in the shadows.
@"Alternate View"
Your "view" is neither "alternate" or original.
"Orwellian" .... ha .......
out from the door of the farmhouse came a long file of pigs, all walking on their hind legs...out came Napoleon himself, majestically upright, casting haughty glances from side to side, and with his dogs gambolling round him.
Again Alternative Universe lives up to his name. Why is this bill 'Orwellian', other than than the guy from News Ltd declaring it such?
We need to ensure that when the Press outwardly lies in its presentation of news that there is a genuine comeback for the public. It's the subtle lies that are damaging, not the absurd comparison with a mass murderer that the Terrorgraph did yesterday that can cause damage.
@J "Slick" Fraser - oink oink!!
Wow, I must have been pretty close to the mark to get the "strong" responses that I did from my favourite governement supporters... nice!
Yep, thanks for the Animal Farm quote too. It's quite amazing just how close it is to the real world of Senator Conroy and his antics about the media and of course, the NBN.
'not many MPs present' probably too busy 'campaigning', gota know your priorities.

"One of best Ski resorts ever" Val-d'Isère by SirLaughalot
Val-d'Isère Travel Guide: 14 reviews and 30 photos
What can I say.
Val is very very good for Skiing with loads of good lifts and linked with Tignes giving an amazing amount and variety of skiing.
In the town there is lots to do, pubs, restaurants, Clubs , shops , market days, cinemas and lots more. A great free bus services also operates, so even if not in centre of town you can get about easily.
Personally I go for the Skiing but Val is great for the apre stuff aswell.
All is not good for the wallet. A chalet holiday including transfers from UK is around 500 - 1,000GBP pp for 7 nights depending on quality of rooms and food. All that is before drinks at 5 GBP a time and all your ski lift pass and the like. What the hell, you cannot take it with you and you will love it!
All very Good but I make a few comments below.
The Sking is steep. Sometimes you feel like you could jump off the mountain and land on the church in the middle of town.
Beginners: Above the town there are some green runs and easy blues towards La Forne. I advise you get the chair and bubbles back into though. If a beginer to third year skiing you will find the runs back into town very hard especially late in the day when every other beginer is doing the same. Never say I did not warn you.. Do not stay on the Green run in town centre. Very dull and no views.
Inters: All good for you. The run into La Daie (sp) is great and Tignes offers some super fast Blues. The top of the Grande Mot is well, very high! La Forne looks dull on piste map but often nobody goes there so no lift ques and no one in the way. Mach 2 is possible!
Advanced: You already know it, but Face is fantastic. I've never Skied it the same on any day. Very steep and a challenge to complete without stopping at least onec or twice. Get the beers in!
Off Piste : Its good but I have heard lots of people getting killed!
- Pros:Excellent varied skiing
- Cons:Price, Maybe a bit steep for complete novices.
- In a nutshell:Try it and you will go back

Wassup guys!
My chain rubs my FD whenever I stand up and mash on steep hills. I adjusted my FD properly, it never rubs otherwise.
I'm 240 lbs and I ride a Schwinn Fastback(the one in my signature). It's an entry level bike, so it comes with low level components to say the least.
So my question is, what's most likely to flex? The frame or crank?

A retelling of the centuries-old connection between the northern fur seal and the Unangan natives of Alaska's Pribilof and Aleutian Islands in the middle of the Bering Sea through five generations. Here, Aquilina Lestenkof traces her own family's history in this remote part of the world, weaving together indigenous, Russian and American cultural threads. At the heart of the story are the fur seals. Like the Unangan, the seals struggle to survive. As Aquilina says, "If they're not here, then we won't be either."

I have a history of preterm labor (32, then 37, 39 weekers) and am being monitored more closely now due to high blood pressure in the umbilical cord.
36 weeks. Midwife agreed to deliver at home (we did not have a prenatal diagnosis), and was healthy and good sized, considering his time in the oven, at 6lb 2oz.
Second baby (46 chromosomes) arrived early-ish, too, at 37 weeks. 7lb 10 oz. I'm tiny, so not sure I would've wanted to stick around for the whole 40 weeks!

Under a fatty 179-aircraft contract signed by Boeing and the U.S. Air Force, any costs that go over the $4.8 billion budget agreed to will be absorbed by Boeing. And according to new estimates, Boeing is set to do a lot of absorbing.
Boeing is projected to exceed by as much as $500 million the cost ceiling on its contract to develop new refueling tankers for the U.S. Air Force, or about $200 million more than previous estimates, according to the Defense Department.
One military official summed up what certainly seems to be the case in the KC-46 Air Tanker contract, saying of Boeing "if they get to $4.9 billion, they get zero profit.''
Boeing so far has no response to the idea that the company is set to lose loads of cash on what should be a hugely profitable contract.

I feel like this should have been answered somewhere but I can't seem to find it.
What does the size (40 cm, etc.) on aero bars mean? I'm trying to buy some off ebay for my tri bike, but idk what the numbers mean and I don't want bars I cant use or that don't work for me.
ok so I think there's a number for length of bars and width of bar they fit onto (clip-ons). How do I know how long I need?
Thanks for the help.

Falcons meet goals in Jamboree
Saturday, August 16, 2014
WARDSVILLE — The Blair Oaks football team came into Friday night's Jamboree with two goals. They left with two check marks next to those items on their to-do list.
The Jamboree, which featured Blair Oaks getting 18 plays on offense and 18 on defense against a pair of opponents, ended with the Falcons beating Centralia 12-6 and tying Helias at 12. But that was just window-dressing.
"We told our kids before tonight started we had two goals," Blair Oaks coach Brad Drehle said. "No. 1 was to play every down as fast as we could play. If we do that, great things are going to happen, because we feel like we've got some kids who can play a little bit.
"And No. 2, we wanted to commit to playing for each other. Nobody is going to be selfish, we're going to go out and play our butts off, and I think that's what you saw."
The second item was especially on display on the defensive side of the ball. In each portion of the event, the starters got nine snaps and the second-team got nine. Blair Oaks' first-team defense didn't get scored on against Centralia, then gave up just one score to Helias.
"The product of (playing for each other) is when you see them swarming to the football," Drehle said. "We don't care who gets him on the ground, we just want the guy (with the ball) on the ground."
The situational scrimmage began with each team getting the ball at the opponent's 40-yard line. First downs could prolong drives, while turnovers or turning it over on downs brought it back to the 40.
Blair Oaks started against Centralia and the Falcons' defense allowed just 17 yards in nine plays. The Blair Oaks first-team offense then needed just five plays to score a touchdown, that coming on a 1-yard plunge by Caleb Bischoff.
The Falcons then gained 38 yards the second time around before running out of plays.
The second-team defense pitched a shutout before the second-team offense capped a six-play scoring drive with a 5-yard touchdown run by Jake Van Ronzelen.
"Overall, our kids played extremely hard, and they played fast," Drehle said. "They did a good job. I think you're going to see us get better and better. When we get everybody on the field, we'll be in good shape."
Against the Panthers, the Falcons were 6-of-6 passing for 84 yards and had 10 carries for 54 yards. Jordan Hair led the passing attack by hitting on all four attempts for 59 yards.
The Falcons then took on Helias and the Crusaders' first-teamers scored on the eighth of their nine plays.
But Blair Oaks came right back and after a 3-yard rush by Dominic Jamerson, Hair hit Jacob Wilbers with a 34-yard pass that set up a 3-yard scoring run by Bischoff.
Helias' second-teamers scored on their final play, only to see Blair Oaks came back with a touchdown on their seventh play, a 35-yard strike from Van Ronzelen to Adam Schell.
The Falcons did lose three fumbles against Helias, something Drehle said has an easy fix.
"Tonight was about focus," he said. "It's the first time you're in there."
Blair Oaks won the day in another key category.
"We got out healthy, that's the big piece," he said. "It's hard to take too much from a Jamboree, because nobody's prepared. You don't scouting report anybody. If you sit and watch film, I'm sure we've got tendencies, everybody does, and if you get that in the mix, I'm sure things change."
That will start to change soon, as the Falcons kick off the season with a 7 p.m. game Friday against Moberly.
"Everything intensifies from here," Drehle said. "You're in this and you're kind of looking at Moberly, you're kind of still trying to fix yourself.
"Next week, our focus really turns to Moberly. Obviously there will be some things after we watch film that we're going to want to address, but our big focus now becomes Moberly — what are they doing, who's doing it, what tendencies do they have, what do we have to take away, and what do we want to do. That's when it becomes fun, that's the part that we wait for. It's time."

By: TrentEnu
These coveralls will keep your clothes clean. The price is a little high but how much money will you spend in ruined clothing? More then the price of these coveralls. I love the fact they are not black or brown, I am tired of the plain colors. Now these are not insulated so if you want these to help with sub zero temps you will be disappointed. But for non severe weather they are great. The material is not thin either, its heavy duty. No more worries about ruining your expensive clothes. I'd recommend them to every one.

NEW ORLEANS – Sources have told Eyewitness News that the female victim in a double shooting Monday in New Orleans East is local rapper Magnolia Shorty.
Magnolia Shorty and a man were shot to death inside of a car in New Orleans East just after noon Monday, according to the NOPD.
A spokesman said police were called to the scene of a shooting in the 6300 block of Bridgehampton Drive in the east and when they arrived found the 28-year-old woman and an unidentified man shot to death inside of the car.
Both victims were shot several times and both were pronounced dead on the scene.
The Orleans Parish coroner hasn't identified the victims, but a source confirmed to Eyewitness News that the female victim is in fact Magnolia Shorty.
Magnolia Shorty, 28, was signed to the Cash Money Records in the 1990s and was first featured on Juvenile's 1997s song "3rd Ward Solja."

Mary L.G. Theroux | Childhood Poverty, Government Failures, and the Need for Economic Liberty
Recorded: Thursday, March 26, 2015
Independent Institute Senior Vice President Mary L. G. Theroux testified on "Childhood Poverty, Government Failures, and the Need for Economic Liberty", before the California State Senate's Budget Subcommittee on Health and Human Services, at the request of State Senator Jeff Stone. The witnesses spoke about California's Maximum Family Grant rule for families on welfare. The rule caps grants and does not increase grant money to mothers on welfare when they have more children. Mary testified about the causes of poverty and of the need for other, non-government options for poor families. She introduced ideas for helping the poor through private resources and organizations, instead of government agencies where families and women often find themselves trapped in a cycle of poverty.

Dr. Lawrence J. McQuillan: Californias Public Pension Crisis
Recorded: Tuesday, June 17, 2014
On June 17, 2014, Sr. Fellow Lawrence McQuillan spoke at an event for supporters of the Independent Institute. Dr. McQuillan spoke about Californias state pension system, a topic he writes about frequently, including in his forthcoming book California Dreamin: Resolving the Public Pension Crisis.
First he defines the types of pension programs for state employees, he outlined how funding for the programs is not sustainable for the promises made to pension recipients. The state admits to an unfunded liability of $140 billion, but McQuillan says that is actually an underestimate. According to most economists, the true amount of the unfunded liability is $430 billion.
How did this happen? McQuillan explains and offers six solutions to keep the pension systems solvent.

We present a method to locate an "object" in a color image, or more precisely, to select a set of likely locations for the object. The model is assumed to be of known color distribution, which permits the use color-space processing. A new method is presented, which exploits more information than the previous backprojection algorithm of Swain and Ballard (1990) at a competitive complexity. Precisely, the new algorithm is based on matching local histograms with the model, instead of directly replacing pixels with a confidence that they belong to the object. We prove that a simple version of this algorithm degenerates into backprojection in the worst case. In addition, we show how to estimate the scale of the model. Results are shown on pictures digitized from the famous "Where is Waldo" books. Issues concerning the optimal choice of a color space and its quantization are carefully considered and studied in this application. We also propose to use co-occurrence histograms to deal with cases where important color variations can be expected

Why I'm Sticking By Dow 55,000
>>5 Big Stocks to Trade for Big Gains So no, Dow 55,000 isn't a target that we'll see get taken out in 2014, but from a long-term view, the 55,000 level on the Dow isn't unrealistic even if it feels unattainable right now. We've hit similar market growth in both of the similar periods in years past.From a technical standpoint, the broad market is breaking out of a long-term base that couldn't be much clearer. A year ago, when I first put that sky-high target on stock prices, we weren't at new highs yet. Now that indices have hit a new high water mark in 2013, we've got far more confirmation that we're coming up on another rally leg. The extremely long-term chart of the Dow Jones Industrial Average below does a good job of showing off the similarities between the rallies that started in the 1940s, the 1980s, and today: Each of the previous multi-decade consolidations in the Dow has taken on a very similar structure. And after breaking out through resistance, stock prices never looked back. The Fundamental Factors From a fundamental standpoint, a prolonged rally in stocks doesn't really make sense. After all, stocks have moved too far too fast from the 2009 bottom, right? Now they're looking expensive again. But that's not exactly accurate. As I write, the Dow sports a price-to-earnings ratio of 16.8. It was 16.2 in the last five years of the 1930s and just over 10 in the last five years of the 1970s. (For comparison, the high inflation of the 1970s warrants that P/E discount versus the 1930s and now.) The point is that transformational earnings growth isn't something that's visible at this stage in the cycle yet. >>How to Avoid Big Losses During the Government Shutdown There is a big difference today, however. In 2013, corporate profitability and cash holdings have hit all-time highs, which means that around 25% of major stock index value actually comes from cold hard cash. We've never seen liquid assets make up so much of stocks' assets before -- and that means that P/E ratios are very much overstated. Stocks are actually much cheaper than they appear.

Is it wrong to feel miserable about putting on pounds during pregnancy?
I'm 24 weeks pregnant with my first child, and I've gained 22 pounds. My doctor, husband, friends, and family are not as concerned as I am and they don't seem to understand how I feel. I'm completely thrilled at the prospect of becoming a mother, but the weight gain is making me miserable. Do I just need to 'get over myself'? Am I the only one who feels this way?

I'm going to try my hardest not to sound insensitive, but come on ladies! You get the miracle of creating a human being! I for one was told by Drs that I couldn't get pregnant, and now here I am at almost 19 weeks and I was DEVASTATED when I went to my last OB app because they told me I had lost 11 lbs. I'm going to tell you I wasn't small starting my pregnancy, by any means, I was roughly 190ish, before and at my last app they told me I was 176. Yes, there are some weight limits that the Drs will advise but as long as your baby is healthy, your image shouldn't matter, and to those people who tell you, "you're starting to show" or "you're getting husky"....here's what I want you to do, I want you to look them in the face, friends, family, I don't care who, and tell them, my baby's healthy and your "opinion" on my pregnancy weight is none of your concern. You are beautiful no matter what ANYONE else says, and you are creating a miracle! :) just remember that.posted 06/18/2014 by Morgana8790

Showbox SoDo
Even as a Refused faithful I had some doubts going into last night's reunion show. For one thing, the show had been moved from the gorgeous and typically great sounding Paramount Theatre to the somewhat less beloved and more acoustically challenging concrete box of the Showbox SoDo. For another, I'd heard mixed reports from people who'd seen their previous reunion shows, with some friends saying they absolutely destroyed but one friend suggesting that the band now seemed somewhat rote, frontman Dennis Lyxzén's showmanship canned and hammy. And then there was Sleigh Bells. Forget all that, though--Refused were amazing last night, and if you were up front at least, the sound was fantastic, clear and powerful. (As for Sleigh Bells, they were even louder, and proof that you can't improve music just by turning it up--a friend suggested that Refused booked them as a sort of sacrificial lamb, just to get the crowd extra angry and riled up, and this seems plausible.) Last night was one of those shows I never thought I'd get to see, and its explosive energy and catharsis--and fun!--was every bit equal to such expectation.
I spent from the first song of their set ("Worms of the Senses/Faculties of the Skull") to the first song of the encore ("New Noise') in the pit, so I don't have a great deal of notes, and I'm kinda just gonna do this off the top of my head here. About that pit: not all are created equal, but I have a theory that the pit reflects the band, so if you have a dumb violent band you'll get a dumb violent pit, but if you have a smart, sensitive band, or one that preaches radical politics, you're maybe more likely to get a pit that looks out after its own, polices the assholes and takes care of the injured, and is above all just there to rock the fuck out and have a good time Anyway, it was heartening to see that backed up last night, where all the pushing and shoving, slamming and spazzing out and crowd-surfing all seemed to be in a really elated, positive spirit. Also, man, the pit exploded into frenzy again and again last night, but if you've never watched or better been in it for the massively pent-up vocal drop on "New Noise" ("can I scream?!"), you really have no idea.
As for the band's performance: nothing canned or hammy or rote about it. I never saw them back when--Lyxzén at one point apologized for them taking 20 years (?!) to make it (back?) to Seattle--but I can't imagine them being much more energetic and on-point at any age than they were last night. Lyxzén high-kicked and twirled mics at untenable lengths, while the band chugged through one monster riff and excitement-building breakdown after another. In one particularly inspired mood, they riffed on The Stooges' "TV Eye" during the breakdown of "The Deadly Rhythm." (At another point, the bassist teased about five seconds of Fugazi's "Waiting Room," suggesting a cover that so should've been.)
Nor was Lyxzén's banter short of inspiring. Early on, for those unaware of what they were getting into, he succinctly described what was to come as "grown-ass man in tight pants prancing around to heavy music." Yes, please! He talked about growing up working class in Sweden and feeling like no one would ever hear anything he had to say, until he discovered the medium and global culture of punk rock and found his voice in it. He introduced "Summerholidays vs. Punkroutine" as a song about trying to reconcile DIY ideals with success. He shouted out Pussy Riot (their kick drum also read "Free Pussy Riot"), praising them as "a band that challenges the state authority and the church," and noting that if Refused got 2 years in jail every time they did that, they'd be in jail for 2 million years--not as a brag, I think, but as a show of solidarity and to highlight how fucked Russia's political/justice system is right now. In the customary gap between main set and encore, the crowd chanted "Not! Fucking! Dead!" before the rhythm was slowly overtaken and replaced with "Free! Pussy! Riot!" It was awesome.
It looks like they're playing about the same set every night--sticking largely to their masterstroke The Shape of Punk to Come--and as I didn't take notes I'm going by previously posted set lists, but they look about right to me. Feel free to chime in with corrections if not.
Set List (?)
1. "Worms of the Senses / Faculties of the Skull"
2. "The Refused Party Program"
3. "Liberation Frequency"
4. "Rather Be Dead"
5. "Coup d'état"
6. "Summerholidays vs. Punkroutine"
7. "The Deadly Rhythm"
8. "Hook, Line and Sinker"
9. "Refused Are Fucking Dead"
10. "Life Support Addiction"
11. "The Shape of Punk to Come"
12. "New Noise"
13. "Tannhäuser / Derivè"

Duke football enters uncharted territory of high expectations
It's just a symbolic gesture, but Duke being voted second in the Coastal Division by the ACC media is significant in one big way -- it shows how the outside perception of the program is changing under head coach David Cutcliffe.
When college football analyst Phil Steele's renowned season preview magazine came out -- complete with predictions -- a few weeks ago, there were some surprises. As there always are.
But perhaps none of the surprises were bigger than Steele picking the reigning ACC Coastal Division champion -- a Duke Blue Devils team that returns most of its key pieces from last year, mind you -- to finish tied for last place with Virginia.
Duke linebacker Kelby Brown didn't read that. He doesn't read most preseason predictions. He said he wouldn't be surprised if the assembled ACC media, in Greensboro for ACC Kickoff earlier this week, picked Duke last.
"Duke football is used to it. Went 3-9 for two years, went 6-7 for a year and now we're 10-4. I don't expect two seasons to change people's opinion," Brown said. "To be honest, it doesn't really matter to me. I've never really read those things anyways."
Duke head coach David Cutcliffe has been slowly building a program in Durham, and -- seemingly just as slowly -- changing the way Duke is perceived.
Brown is right in that it won't happen overnight. It's difficult to change what's comfortable, and the media has predicted Duke to finish last in the Coastal Division every year since the league went to a division format. The media picked Duke to finish last in the league the five years before that, meaning Duke was picked to finish last in its division or in the entire league for 13 of the last 14 years.
Difficult to blame the media for that, either. Duke did finish last or next-to-last in every season since 2000, so their predictions were either totally accurate or a spot off -- until last season, when Duke, picked to finish last, punched its ticket to Charlotte for the ACC Championship game.

Maybe, though, Brown underestimated the media's capability to adapt.
This year, Duke was picked to finish second in the Coastal and received the most first-place votes of any team in that division. It was the Blue Devils' highest projected finish since 1995 (sixth out of nine teams). That year, Duke finished eighth.
So now, Duke is in the extremely rare position of having to back up legitimately earned preseason hype.
Cutcliffe isn't too worried about that part of it. The ballots were in when he met with the media on Monday, and he understood that while preseason polls were ultimately meaningless, particularly in the muddled Coastal Division, it's a symbol of how far Duke has come.
"As I look at preseason votes, you know who I'm happy for are former players because I think it's meaningless to this team. The 2014 team has got to go prove itself. But I think the significance is all of these young men that have come through there since we've been there that have played such a big role in every year getting better and working as hard," Cutcliffe said. "So I know in my heart how proud those guys are of the fact that they helped move this to the point where we could be picked second."
But he admitted it matters in places other than the pride in his heart for his former players, too. It matters on the recruiting trail, particularly considering Duke played in two bowl games over the last two years where they were the only game in town. And last year, the Blue Devils put on an absolute show against Johnny Manziel and Texas A&M, even in a losing effort, proving to any who may have doubted them that they were for real.
"There's no question we're seen differently. I would say that not just the (improved) record, but probably the impact of being the only college football game on television two years in a row -- the Belk Bowl, the Chick-Fil-A Bowl, people everywhere watched that game," Cutcliffe said. "We got the same response all over the country: 'Wow, we didn't know y'all were good.' I think people got to see, even though both of them were losses, people got to see that we have a good football team."
And, as Cutcliffe accurately pointed out, nowadays, the most recent thing is the only thing. And the only thing a lot of football fans and spectators know is that Duke football is very good. That extends to recruits, teenagers growing up in this age of immediacy.
Cutcliffe is as level-headed as they come, but dealing with a program that's slowly becoming accustomed to success as opposed to failure is a new challenge. And that extends to the recruiting trail, as he's had to be careful he recruits the types of players that fit his program.
Higher-profile recruits have and will continue to show interest. But Duke has built its success recruiting a certain way.
"Is it harder to coach a guy that's been told he's good by so many people before he's really at an age he can handle that? You'd better believe it is. I've always said, maybe it's best to sign a bunch of two-star players that are really four-star athletes," Cutcliffe said. "If we hold true to our values, players can get better, but they've got to be certain kind of people. We're watching that closely."
Duke didn't take much time off after its bowl game loss, going into spring football in February and finishing before many teams nationwide had even begun. Cutcliffe did this by design, wanting to avoid injuries and devote more time to strength training in the off-season.
It's been interesting, Cutcliffe said, to watch his locker room slowly morph into one where none of them knew what success was into one where none remember what failure was. That transition is not complete -- Duke's last 3-9 season was in 2011, so there are seniors who remember -- but it's very nearly there.
That mix of players who remember the failures and were determined not to repeat them with players who have known nothing but bowl games and success has been crucial to past success. Now, it's a matter of the current players who do know what that success takes teaching the incoming players how to go about their business.
"The biggest danger is in changing who we've been. We are a good program because we have great habits. What we want to become is a great program with great habits," Cutcliffe said. "I'm kind of watching our young people that have known nothing but success. We've got guys going into their third and second years that think this is just what you do here every year, and I'm anxious to see if that's a good thing or if that's something we're going to have to challenge them with.
"But I think being true to our habits, being true to what we believe in helps you become a champion, and we've got to maintain those same habits."
Cutcliffe understands as well as anyone that last year's 10-4 record could have turned into something else.
A bad break here or an injury there and Duke would have been in the middle of the pack in the Coastal, or worse. He saw it happen firsthand in many of Duke's previous seasons, when a potential 6-6 record turned into 3-9 because the Blue Devils lost some close games or had some key injuries, or all of the above.
You have to be lucky and good, after all. But all Cutcliffe knows how to do is keep on the same path. And why not? He knows it works. So he evaluated last season, as good as it was, the same way he would have one of the 3-9 seasons when he knew the program was on the right track, even if the record didn't show it.
"Just as we did when we were 3-9 and we didn't punch a panic button, we looked at all the things we were doing well -- which was many, believe it or not -- and then we looked at the things we weren't doing as well," Cutcliffe said. "I think you have to disregard record every year when you study yourself in that regard or you're kidding yourself. There are a lot of things that we think win football games that we measure all of the time, but we teach winning in everything we do. ... I think that that's where our program is getting stronger. I really do.
"I think that they're challenging themselves to win at all of those marks, and I hope and believe this team has the experience, the mentality and the ability to do some of that."

Hopefully the following will help some folks with this frustrating issue.
I'm currently running OS 10.5.8, but what I'm about to say may apply also to later operating systems.
I normally do backups once a day (I've set up my system with a third-party app so it does that) on my iMac. For a long time I was frequently getting the backup "Failed" message in the System Preferences Time Machine window or noticed the backup was stuck in progress or in the "stopping" mode. These problems were happening as often as a couple of times a week and sometimes were accompanied by an error message such as "can't locate the directory". I'd shut down, boot up again and TM might work for one backup or maybe a few and then the problem would reoccur. Then one day I twigged on the fact that the failures were occurring not long after I had restarted my computer, sometimes during the first backup after restart and sometimes on a subsequent backup. On a hunch, I changed my shut down and restart procedure and I no longer get any failures, stuck backups or error messages. If you're having the kind of problem I was experiencing, here's what I suggest you try: Every time you want to shut down or do a restart, first eject the backup drive and then disconnect it from your computer. Then restart your computer and only after it is fully re-booted re-connect the backup drive. This also seems to prevent Spotlight from needing re-indexing, which I found I needed to do whenever the backup got stuck.
If you aren't able to eject your backup drive properly because TM is stuck, first try opening TM preferences and clicking on the "x" to the right of the active scroll bar. If that doesn't stop it within a couple of minutes, try ejecting the BU drive using the Finder window. If it says it can't because it's busy, wait a minute or two because it might eventually bring up another alert that lets you eject. If it can be ejected, then unplug it, restart the computer and plug it back in again AFTER the restart is completed. Then try another TM backup attempt and it may work. If that doesn't work, the last resort is to enter the code "sudo service com.apple.metadata.mds stop" (without the quotation marks) in Terminal (Terminal is an app located in Utilities) and then press the enter key, then type in your password (don't worry if your password doesn't actually appear in Terminal) and press enter again. That should stop TM almost immediately, but you will then most likely have to re-index Spotlight. The normal procedure for re-indexing Spotlight may not work, so if it doesn't then you'll have to use Terminal (in such case, go to https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1462997?start=0&tstart=0 for the instructions).
Good luck.
I have a Time Capsule for a couple of months now, and since the beginning I had a lot of trouble with backups failing with the dreaded error "Backup Disk not Available". Rebooting the Time Capsule fixed the problem but only for one time backup. I finally resolved the problem by opening the AirPort Utility, selecting Disks, and changing the option "Secure Shared Disks" from "With a device password" (this was the Time Capsule password) to "With a disk password" (a new password for the disk). Now it works fine over and over and I am able to backup from two separate macs without issues. Hope this helps someone.
