Reading Between The Lines
Via Mark J. Grant, author of Out of the Box,
Tomorrow the Wizard turns 620. I was out with him last night in a little pre-birthday celebration and I asked him how it felt to have that many years under his belt. He laughed and replied that being a Wizard had it occurred to me that he might not have started at one? No, I admit, I had not thought of that, which opened up a realm of possibilities that the old codger could actually be far older or far younger than was generally presumed. I then asked him if he planned to be around for his 630th birthday day and he replied that the odds were good. He said he had done a whole statistical model and that very few people died between 620 and 630 and so he was likely to make it to the next milestone. At the end of the evening, with a twinkle in his eye, he informed me that he would not be here on Saturday in any event. He said that he had learned something from the Europeans and that he was going to follow their lead. He informed me that he was going to get on his broomstick, fly across the international dateline and so never have an actual birthday. Then he will return to America and claim that the damn thing never happened. I guess he is still learning a thing or two!
Reading Between the Lines
One of the great faults with paying attention to Europe is to take what they tell you as factual. The media trumpets what they are given by the various sources of information in Europe but a quite skeptical eye is what is needed. They claim that they do not have the "Final Troika Report" on Greece because they have not stamped it "Final" yet and so they blame their indecision on the magic trick that they are performing. Everyone on the Continent has the report but since they can agree on almost nothing they have blamed the lack of the rubber stamp as the culprit. They should just come out and say that, "It is the rubber stamp's fault" and be done with it.
Red Lines
Every easy trick has now been exhausted when it comes to Greece. You may feel worn out and tired by the length of time this process has taken but that is a remarkably short-sighted viewpoint. You should be happy that you have had the time to carefully consider and plan for what is about to take place because ugly is about to get uglier and you will see retching in the streets; not just in Athens but in Berlin and Madrid. I would say that the odds are about 60/40 that what is happening is that the European Union is trying to force Greece out of the EU by having Greece refuse any more of the austerity measures and not get funded. It is a "Game of Houses" because Germany does not want to take the blame and they want Greece to throw up their hands and leave so Berlin can say, "What can we do?" To actually force Greece out would be a violation of principles that Germany cannot politically afford and so a quite complicated ruse is underway. The severity of the situation is indicated now by the Red Lines that have been drawn by all of the major constituencies so that there is no compromise to be found. As I have stated before we are at the Crossroads, at Breakpoint, because every proposal is met with a hard line drawn in concrete by someone in some corner of the deliberations.
The IMF will not provide any more funds without a 120% debt to GDP ratio by 2020 they claim but what this really means, and what they have come closer to saying recently, is that they will not dish out any more money unless they feel that they will get paid back (Red Line). The IMF has suggested that perhaps the ECB could take the loss and Mr. Draghi has said while they might forego the profits on their Greek Bonds, estimated at about $16 billion, that they will not take a loss as it would violate their charter of not financing individual nations (Red Line). The IMF has suggested that the Stabilization Funds could take a hit which Germany and several other countries have said is impossible because it would probably cause several governments to fall in Europe (Red Line). The Greeks have asked for a two year extension in payments which would require another $40 billion to be handed to Greece as Austria, the Netherlands and Finland have all publically stated "No more money for Greece" and another wall (Red Line). The markets all think that it is just another moment to muddle through but I am telling you, having examined the evidence and considered all of the possibilities, that this is not the case and that my conclusion will very soon prove to be correct. The length of time this process has taken may have numbed some people's sensitivity to the danger but with $1.5 trillion in total debts that could go into default; the danger is quite real and the shock will be systemic. The ticking time bomb has been loaded and it is about to explode whether you realize it or not.
It is going to be either "debt forgiveness" or "more money" or "brute force" and there are quite serious consequences for many nations and many governments whichever path is chosen. "Debt forgiveness" is a sacred promise broken and "more money" is politically impossible in some countries at this point. Europe may have concluded that it is far better to force Greece out by continual demands and ever increasing austerity measures and that the losses from a Greek Exit, which would be borne by all, are a better alternative to the other two roads as the Germans and others could blame the Greeks and not take the responsibility. Three roads, all ugly, which is why the length of the delay and the hesitation to engage. Any of these three paths will lead to extensive pain and a lot of contagion and so I conclude that the Greeks will get forced out by increasing European demands as that is the least politically damaging alternative for many of the nations in Europe. "Blame it on the Greeks" will be the secret password while the Greeks will call Berlin every name in the book.
"The summer day is closed - the sun is set:
Well they have done their office, those bright hours,
The latest of whose train goes softly out
In the red west. The green blade of the ground
Has risen, and herds have cropped it; the young twig
Has spread its plaited tissues to the sun;
Flowers of the garden and the waste have blown
And withered; seeds have fallen upon the soil,
From bursting cells, and in their graves await
Their resurrection. Insects from the pools
Have filled the air awhile with humming wings,
That now are still forever; painted moths
Have wandered the blue sky, and died again"

"Any of these three paths will lead to extensive pain and a lot of contagion and so I conclude that the Greeks will get forced out by increasing European demands as that is the least politically damaging alternative for many of the nations in Europe."
Pretty darn good analysis in this article. This bolded segment is dead on. They will increase the demands from Greece until Greece's government coalition collapses, Szirisa takes over and exits the EU. The EU can say oh well (though it will still cost 1.5 Trillion Euros, and the swaps will do who knows what).
Kick the can 14.0. QEternity will fix greec you damn pesimists!!!!!
When will you guys capeesh that Greece will not leave the Euro?
On November 21st they have an interest payment due. If they can't make the payment, they default in the true "trillions of dollars worth of Credit Default Derivatives going boom" sense of the word. No matter if they want to leave the Euro or not, it's SHTF time in another 12 days.
Don't get any of that flying fecal matter on my turkey dinner...
Nope. ISDA will come out and say it's not a default event. Move along - nothing to see here.
They can twist things around all they want about "voluntary haircuts and write-downs" not being defaults. However, a default on an interest payment is, by definition of the derivatives themselves, a default. No wiggle room available for this one - it's written as "if I don't get my payment exactly when due then I get to collect the insurance."
@ i am not a copp..
probably right, then the question will be 'why the hell would anybody spend money on default hedges?', which hopefully kills the market for the very worst kind of derivatives - those akin to buying insurance on your neighbor's house while whispering suggestions to the local pyromaniac.
I call BS. Everytime the Troika threaten to delay payment they have paid out as required.
On this occasion the Greeks have even done exactly as ordered and passed it in Parliament.
A day here or there is irrelevant. Deutsche Bank will get their €billions. There are months of can kicking to go yet.
There is a new risk element that may be added to the credit default derivatives minefield.
Sometime next month there will be a ruling in EFTA court case regarding Icesave. Its a dispute where Iceland is up against the United Kingdom and the Netherlands in a argument whether there is a state guarantee on all savings accounts in privately owned banks.
The argument in short http://www.eftacourt.int/images/uploads/16_11_PR_OH.pdf
Interestingly the EU has decided to intervene.
Iceland is a member of the EEA and there for uses a large part of EU laws.
This is Icelands defence http://www.mfa.is/media/icesave-2011-12/Speech-Government-of-Iceland.pdf
If Iceland looses this case it will mean that all the states in the EEA and EU are bound to guarantee all deposits made in every bank and its subsidiaries in the entire EU and EEA.
A state guarantee like this will create enormous systemic risk and will certainly draw the attention of rating agencys.
The way is see it this is a fight where Iceland defends the sovereign rights of European states against those who would like to see those sovereign rights dilluted or terminated.
This is a double edged sword that can cut the sovereign rights of states on one hand and cut the EU down on the other hand, given that much of the western world is in a rather perilious situation, to say the very least.
Unless the market completely collapses, nothing is going to get fixed..not in Europe and certainly not in the U.S. Until the 401K and market based pensions take a hit, status quo and quid pro quo continues.
Mo money, Mo money Mo Money
The art of politics (political manipulation and mind control actually) is telling lies people want to hear after telling them what they should want to hear.
It really is as simple as that.
Interesting. Do you have any suggested reading where I can learn more on this topic? Thanks.
By law the German governent and the budget committee of the Bundestag are not allowed to support an entity that is or will be unable to repay the loans. On the one hand this is of course pretty ridiculous when it comes to de-facto insolvent Greece but on the other hand this makes it impossible for the German government to accept taking a hit on its loans and release further bailout tranches at the very same time. And while Merkel and company have been quite successful in bending laws, constitutions and international treaties, this would be too much.
So what about supporting the entities that are or will be unable to repay the gold loans?
can we have a do-over...on everything? To whom do I petition?
Universal debt forgiveness = US$ hyperinflation
mabe I should buy that new Jag (on credit of course) today.......just thinking
What just happened to futures?
While at the bank today I noticed a news stream on their wall video moniitor announcing that after 3 years Europe was now fixed and the crisis is over! I think it was AP.
Jim Willie: The Rush for Physical Gold is On
If Grexit does occur, then what?
Presumably Draghi must print a trillion in a hurry to patch liquidity holes and stop a domino effect.
Euro down, gold up, stocks up? Stranger things have happened ...
I wish this fucker would die already.
Only thing to "save" Greece now would be reveal of the good aliens on 21.12.12 like prophetized in Annunaki/Ancient Aliens mythos. They needed to make very sharp turn, negotiated kinda-sorta turn and until now are realizing nudging the steering wheel. This country would be unsustainable with no debt whatsoever, lending them more could never work. At this stage of debt addiction you've got to just stop injecting. Not tomorrow, today - right now. If UE wanted to "save" them, they would stop lending and than possibly send humanitarian aid to individual people... I think this article is right - and they want to step over any blame, or maybe banksters want too teach debtors a lesson. Break Greece's knees so all the others better pay their god damn dues on time.
There is no mystery about Europe. The unelected pols lie through their teeth in order to get the market to fund bankrupt states by buying bonds at low interest rates.
At the end of the day, anyone buying (bonds) into this needs a soon to be forthcoming reaiity check and a decent haircut.
I don't understand how they will find a Greek to assume an exit from EuroZone. It's so more easy to do nothing... Doing nothing means a default. A default doesn't means an exit from Greece event if an exit from Greece means a default.
I'm sure it will ne ugly but i don't understand why Greece would exit... Can you help ?
The sharp drop in stocks supports the author's thesis that things are really getting serious Over There. The big boys are clued into the inside dope on these negotiations. There was no negative "news" to account for the drop.
Great article Mark but WTF is with the poetry? It doesn't fit. You don't need it to make you look intellectual, you already are.
Mary had a little skirt
It was split right up the front
And everytime that she sat down
You could see her little hole in Athens
Musing on Public Choice theory, and good paying, pseudo feeling jobs that seem to have a bright future, the people in the center ring have a bit of incentive to keep this going.
I don't see much to incentivize a solution. From a govey view they all look unclear, risky.
Status quo.
Time is of the essence when it comes to dealing with Greece.
There is every possibility that it is simply drip-feeding/delaying/stalling for as long as possible in its negotiations with the Troika to extract as much money from the EZ as it can to keep its wheels rolling. Until its cashflows begin rolling in from the so-called massive oil/gas reserves in the seas around it. When this happens it will just default on its huge debts and wave bye-bye to the EU.
The Troika could pre-empt this huge con-trick by getting Greece to sign off that all money lent to it will be repaid from energy revenues in the 4+ years ahead. That would call the Greek's bluff.

While current models have hurricane bill missing the East coast, a near miss can have both positive and negative lasting effects on our shoreline.
Past beach erosion has prompted homeowners to buy sandbags used to protect the shoreline.
Town officials say they expect high water this weekend which could actually be a positive effect from hurricane Bill.
Town officials hope this storm will do more good for the shore than it will any harm.
Sandbags can cost homeowners in the neighborhood of 300 dollars a bag.

Friday, March 11 My partner and I go to the clinic for the prenatal checkup of our second child. The scan shows everything: fingers, spine, brain, and a slightly unearthly face, which gives a charming and very human yawn as we look at it. All is well with mother and baby.
Three hours later, I am in my office on the 10th floor when the building begins to shake violently, the worst earthquake I have experienced in 16 years in Japan. But central Tokyo has suffered no serious damage, and the early reports from the north are vague. I am

If you've been looking for a great Easter Art Printable, you don't need to look any further! I made this Easter printable for a blogger craft night at Poppyseed Projects. We will share about that fun night soon!
I wanted to make sure that none of you missed out on this printable as well. It adds a little spring and color to my coffee table. I used a 5×7 bracket frame from Poppyseed Projects. Since the print's background is white, it looks great in a colored frame.
I love having this frame out year round and just switch out the print for each holiday or season. It's a great and easy way to add a special touch a this coffee table in my home.

Focused, Obsessive & Committed. [Updated]
So with the pesky 'Remember Sept '44' achievement out the way i finally decided to slug my way through the story mode and finally finish this game off.
That was until i read the Achievement Guide as well as multiple other guides on the internet about the quickest way to earn these achievements, only to find out that they were all out of date and been rendered unreliable. So i decided to make my own mini-guide for these devil spawn achievements.
Achievements That Will Be Earned
Focused 25
While Connected to Xbox LIVE, Play the Game Once A Day For 7 Days
Committed 50
While Connected to Xbox LIVE, Play the Game Once A Week for Three Months
Obsessive 100
While Connected to Xbox LIVE, Play the Game Once A Day For 100 Days
The quickest and easiest way to unlock these achievements is to change the time zone settings on your Xbox 360 to trick the game into thinking you are alternating between days. It can be done on any day at any time and you do not need to be connected to Xbox LIVE to do it.
However, the best time to do this is on a Sunday evening. This is the best time because the game's goes into it's next week on Sunday's at 12AM (Night Time). Doing it at this time will unlock all the above achievements.
So here is what you actually need to do:
If you are doing this on a Sunday afternoon/evening then after 12 times you will unlock the 'Committed' achievement.
Repeating all 7 steps 100 times will unlock you the 'Obsessive' achievement.
On the 'Clock' menu it will show you the current date, after you have chosen the GMT-12 choice the date should be correct. After you have changed the time zone to GMT+14 then it should show an incorrect date. (The next day).
So for example i was doing this on 28th Sept.- When i changed to GMT-12 the date was still 28th Sept. - When i changed the date to GMT+14 it showed 29th Sept.
I've done my best to explain everything clearly and thoughroughly, if you are still unsure about these achievements the don't hesitate to PM/Leave a visitor message/Post in this thread.
Also, please leave any feedback and comments.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Josh Collmenter baffled hitters last season with his unconventional over-the-top delivery en route to becoming a vital piece of the Arizona Diamondbacks' NL West championship team.
The concern with a pitcher like Collmenter, who relies on deception, is that once hitters have faced him a few times, they will be able to make adjustments. That's why he's adding to his pitching repertoire.
Collmenter compiled a 10-10 record with a 3.38 ERA during his rookie season. His deceptive motion confused hitters so much that the Collmenter established a franchise record by not allowing a run in his first 15 innings as a starter.
Collmenter will get the start Saturday when a Diamondbacks split squad plays at the San Francisco Giants.

KPMG has been recognised for forward-thinking leadership and exceptional commitment to client support.
What start-ups need to consider? Where to get access to information? What events they can consider to attend?
China alert - Issue 15, July 2012
In October 2009, the State Administration of Taxation (SAT) of the People's Republic of China (PRC) issued Guoshuihan [2009] No.601 (Circular 601) to address the beneficial ownership issue in the context of PRC income tax treaties (double taxation agreements (DTAs)). Circular 601 emphasises that a non-resident recipient of certain China sourced passive income must be the beneficial owner of such income before it can enjoy treaty benefits under the relevant DTA with China. This is in addition to the usual requirement that the non-resident recipient must be a tax resident of the DTA partner state. Circular 601 then sets out a series of 'adverse factors' that will be considered by the PRC tax authorities in determining whether the non-resident recipient is the beneficial owner or not. The factors require, inter alia, that sufficient 'substance' (in terms of staff, premises and business operations) be in evidence at the level of the DTA benefits claimant.

PREPS: A Q&A with Mission Hills field hockey player Kelcee Drinkward
Q: Are you active in your church?
A: Yes. I go to church regularly and I go attend our youth group services, as well.
Q: How do you exercise your faith outside of church?
A: I help care for a lady in Rancho Bernardo three or four times a week. It's a paying job, but I'd do it for free -- she is a great lady and she's a lot of fun to be around. I get a lot of enjoyment knowing that what I'm doing is helping another person.
Q: Did caring for the lady cause you to miss any practices?
A: There were a few practices that I missed during the summer, but not many. My coach didn't mind too much because she knew what I was doing and that it was important to me. I haven't missed any since school started.
Q: What do you like best about playing field hockey?
A: Since I play forward, I get to handle the ball a lot. I like the fact that I'm either passing the ball for an assist or that I'm taking an assist and making the shot.
Q: Did it bother you when you didn't make first team All-Valley League last year?
A: Not really, because I understand why two of our senior girls were selected. I was happy for them. I was more bummed that we didn't win league.
Q: What do you expect for your team in 2008?
A: We're moving up to Division I this year and we're playing in the Palomar League against some of the best teams in the whole area. I think we're going to have it tougher this year than last, but we're a good team and I think we'll do well. It won't be easy, though.
Q: What would you consider a successful field hockey season?
A: It would be great if we could be league champs this year and move on into the playoffs. We play some really tough teams in the Palomar League, so we're going to have to be at our best every single game.
Q: What college do you want to attend?
A: I'd like to go to Point Loma Nazarene. I'm not sure that I'll be able to, but that would be my preference. I've been to their campus, and it's just gorgeous. I'd love to go to school there.
Q: What would you change about your life?
A: I wish I would take more time to study the Bible and to have more devotions. I'm so busy with school and with sports that I wish I could read a lot more. It's one thing that a lot of people don't know about me -- I love to read.

Weighted and balanced
David Logan in his excellent book on framing (Mat, Mount and Frame It Yourself) discusses Weighted (where the top and sides are the same and the bottom (or top) is heavier) and Balanced (where the sides are the same and the top/bottom are the same) but from what I got out of it, neither method had a "rule". Mostly it came down to you as an artist, selecting the balance that gives the most pleasing results.

I spend a lot of time lurking in this over 50's group and wonder if there are any other geriatrics like myself who enjoy some time on their push bike. I currently am riding a new Shogun Mach 2 with a few extras such as clipless pedals, a Sigma cadence reading computer and so forth. I live in Port Stephens which is about 50 kms north of Newcastle in New South Wales, Australia. Mainly local rides but have just started a bike riding group with our local Rotary Club. Average age of our members is over 65 and we were hoping that, rather than start a recruiting drive for new members, we may be able to cause a few of our current fellows to live a little longer!
I had heart surgery about 15 years ago and am currently on lipex blood pressure pills and a statin for cholesterol but have cut the dose of the latter back considerably due to leg pain which was not related to bike riding. I found that the exercise is keeping my LDL's down anyway.
I am trying to ride at least 100 kms per week at the moment and hope to increase this to around 150 by the end of the year. I am 6'2" and weigh about 94 kilos. Used to be a farmer and then a Real Estate Agent, now retired and spend my time cycling, sailing and fishing!
Hope to hear from a few fellow over 70's

Ten reviews you might have missed
Architects – 'All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us'
Jurassic Park 2 was a great movie. There we said it. Yes, it's not as good as the first one, and yes there are some pretty obvious flaws, but it was still incredibly enjoyable. 'All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us', Architects' seventh album, is to their last
Cute Cute Death – 'Vessels'
There was a time when finding new music involved thumbing through items in a record shop and taking a chance on an unheard band. If that was still the case, 'Vessels' may well be overlooked, the garish cover art and questionable band name not giving the best first impression.
Falls – 'One Hundred Percent Strong'
Songs exist that dwarf this entire EP. Clocking in at just 12 minutes, four tracks are all Falls need to convince you of their brilliance. Describing themselves as "Fuck Rock/Gash Pop/Sasscore", the North Wales band have a modest discography of just one EP and a handful of singles. With that
Real Friends – 'The Home Inside My Head'
Following the release of their excellent EP 'Put Yourself Back Together', Real Friends found themselves thrust into the spotlight and seemed to be on the verge of becoming everyone's favourite band. Expectations were therefore set fairly high for their début album 'Maybe This Place Is The Same
Beaumont – 'Nothing'
To have a startlingly strong and well-crafted EP when you're barely out of the starting blocks is an incredible feat, but it's something that this Birmingham quintet has achieved with ease and finesse. Their debut EP 'Nothing' is something to really sing about. Opening with 'Cheapside', they dive head-first into
LIVE: The Coathangers / Night Shades @ Moth Club, London
One of the best things to happen in 2016, is that after being a band for nearly 10 years, The Coathangers are getting a lot more attention. Maybe they just weren't on our radar, but now, we can't get enough of this raucous trio from Atlanta, GA. After hearing
Issues – 'Headspace'
Since their first EP in 2012, Issues have endeavoured to do something different. Whether it's mixing poppy, R&B vocals with downtuned, heavy guitars, or keeping our nu-metal memories alive with scratching samples and screamed vocals, the band have tried a variety of methods to make themselves stand out. Putting
Helen Love – 'Smash Hits'
Helen Love have existed for almost twenty-five years, releasing twenty-one singles, three EPs and seven albums during that time. Yet you are forgiven if you've yet to hear of the Welsh oddities. For much of that time, the now three-piece have existed predominately in the underground, rarely making live
The Hotelier – 'Goodness'
When Massachusetts' outfit The Hotel Year morphed into The Hotelier with their seminal 2014 release, 'Home Like Noplace Is There', it marked a reawakening. Alongside a handful of contemporaries, their full-length brought with it a reinvention of their indie-punk or emo label. The Hotelier were offering experimentation without losing
Lonely the Brave – 'Things Will Matter'
Cambridgeshire quintet Lonely the Brave have never been ones to shy away from soaring melodies and huge vocal hooks, which they've consistently demonstrated time and again in their previous releases 'Backroads' and 'The Day's War'. Since their inception, this band have set pulses and hearts racing and continues to
LIVE: Milk Teeth / Black Foxxes / Eat Me @ Barfly, Camden
An evening with Stroud's finest punk rock pals is always going to be something to look forward to, so heading down to Camden's Barfly on a sunny, gorgeous Thursday with the capital looking its finest, there's an awful lot of excitement from those inside the venue and
The Stone Foxes – 'Twelve Spells'
San Francisco's The Stone Foxes play the kind of fuzzed-up, retro garage rock that's been keeping Jack White in fancy hats and anti-smile serum for the last fifteen years. In other words, they sound pretty much exactly the way you'd expect a band called 'The Stone Foxes' to sound.
LIVE: Vinnie Caruana / Murray Macleod @ Boston Music Room, London
Murray Macleod – the Cobain-haired, girlfriend-threateningly handsome frontman of The Xcerts – can sing. Like, really sing. That he's in possession of a strong and distinctive voice isn't in question this evening. The question instead is "What time is Vinnie Caruana on?" and for many, the answer appears to be "In
Making Monsters – 'Bad Blood'
Since their inception in 2011, Derry-based quartet Making Monsters have constantly kicked up a ruckus. After the release of their debut EP 'Attention', they went on to tour with the likes of Silverstein, Skindred and, more recently, Fightstar. Title track 'Bad Blood' is simply monolithic. Throat-grabbing riffs and raw, visceral
LIVE: Into It. Over It. @ Servant Jazz Quarter, London
Evan Weiss, the driving force behind Chicago's punctuation heavy Into it. Over It., is tired. It's no surprise considering his recent touring schedule, one which has taken him and his band half way around the globe since leaving their home comforts two months prior. As he excitedly announces his
Cardinal Bay – 'Answers'
Bridgewater quintet Cardinal Bay have been hell bent on impressing with their live shows over the last year or so. Notching up appearances at Teddy Rocks Festivals, and sharing the stage alongside the likes of Funeral For a Friend, Amaryllis, Chasing Cadence, Lost Atlanta, and Breathe In the Silence
Speaking in Italics – 'Painted Sky'
Finding the 'right' sound is often a long and arduous process but when it happens, it can transform a band's songwriting entirely. Instrumentally, Speaking in Italics saunter through this five-track EP with the kind of confidence and quality that would suggest they've found their intended destination. 'Painted

Executive Summary:
* You'll learn why a rising Fed Funds rate doesn't necessarily mean rising mortgage rates.
* The main determinants of buying a home.
* Where we are in the property market cycle.
* You can always refinance. You can never change the purchase price of your home.
Fed Chair Janet Yellen has signaled her crew will be raising rates by 2016. As a result, you are hearing everybody from real estate brokers to market pundits in the media say, "Buy now before it's too late!" There's nothing like a little Fear Of Missing Out to get people to make big decisions without thoroughly thinking things through.
The instant response everybody should have when fed this line is: Don't higher interest rates make homes less affordable at the margin? If homes are less affordable, doesn't that hurt property demand? And if demand for property declines, doesn't that mean prices might go down instead?
Whenever you are talking to someone whose main source of income is through transactions, be a little suspicious. After all, from a real estate broker's point of view, it's always a good time to buy or sell!
This post aims to explain how to think about a home purchase (or sale) in a rising interest rate environment. We've already discovered how to invest and potentially profit in the stock market when rates rise.
My hope is that this post educates future homebuyers, reduces the number of future debt welchers, and creates a stronger America as a result!

First let me say I bought my first set of Jensen speakers in 1960 and installed them in my 55 chevy.. .... As to why this particular set I was installing them in the rear of my RV. I would have gotten even a better set, however the walls of the RV are to thin, so I had to have a flush mounted set with a depth of 21/2 ''or less, these speakers meet that requirement perfectly. I wasn't expecting the quality that they turned out to have. I was totally surprised and I am very satisfied. One small thing the Grills seem to fall out easily which was easy to solve with two well placed small dabs of glue.

With the federal income tax deadline looming next week, people can expect Tea Partiers and others to moan and shout about giving some of their money for the common good. If those tax protestors really wanted to make an impact, though, they'd focus on making sure large corporations pay their fair share.
Elhassan worked for P&G through XLC Services, a Cincinnati-based company that provides manufacturing services and warehouse management to other companies, at P&G facilities in Guilford County, N.C.
The lawsuit charges P&G and XLC with religious harassment, religious discrimination, failing to accommodate after religious discrimination in the workplace, national origin discrimination, sexual discrimination, two counts of retaliation, negligence, unfair and deceptive trade practices, assault, battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
The lawsuit tells the story that led to the charges as follows: Elhassan, who wears a hijab and wedding ring for religious reasons, was employed at P&G's facilities through XLC between 2004 and Sept. 16, 2011. During her employment, Elhassan followed P&G rules and regulations and kept "a performance record which was satisfactory or better."
However, Elhassan was unaware of a company policy that
banned jewelry in the workplace, even jewelry of religious significance.
This policy was mostly not a problem for Elhassan because, as the lawsuit
claims, "Other employees of different religions and national origins
routinely wear jewelry under clothing and/or protective wear and are not
punished or searched."
That is until a woman named Ernestine Wilson allegedly approached Elhassan, forcibly searched Elhassan for her wedding ring and removed Elhassan's hijab in front of coworkers, including men, according to the suit. Under Islam's rules, a woman uses a hijab, which is a religious head and neck wrap, to maintain sexual modesty, and being exposed without a hijab to men who are not family is a major offense and source of humiliation.
Elhassan reported the forced search to higher-ups at XLC. After a few meetings, Wilson provided an apology, according to the lawsuit, but Elhassan claimed the apology was insincere because Wilson kept telling coworkers that she hoped Elhassan was fired. After Elhassan refused to accept the apology, she was suspended then fired, allegedly under the orders of P&G.
The lawsuit suggests that Wilson's actions were potentially connected to another workplace incident. The lawsuit says Elhassan was sexually harassed in the past by George (no last name provided), a man with whom Wilson was allegedly "engaged in a friendly, physical, and/or romantic relationship." Elhassan reported the incident, which got George fired. The lawsuit claims Wilson's actions were in retaliation to George's termination.
Since Wilson did work for P&G through XLC, Elhassan blames both P&G and XLC for the damages. The lawsuit claims she was unfairly fired in retaliation for not accepting Wilson's apology. It also alleges that XLC forced Elhassan to sign a document she did not understand upon her termination without her lawyer present, even though Elhassan asked to have her lawyer read the document. The document, which P&G officials were supposedly aware of, allegedly sought to release P&G and XLC of any wrongdoing related to the termination.
Mary Ralles, spokesperson for P&G, responded to the lawsuit in an email: "As a matter of company policy, we do not comment on pending litigation, but I did want to make one correction. The individual was not (or ever) a P&G employee."
The distinction Ralles made is that Elhassan was not officially employed by P&G, but she did work for P&G through her employment at XLC.
XLC could not be immediately reached for comment. This story will be updated if a comment becomes available.
People in the media industry have been dreading it for a while, and now it's finally here: "Black Wednesday."
Mass layoffs began today at newspapers owned by The Gannett Co., which includes The Cincinnati Enquirer. As with past layoffs at the paper, details of which staffers were affected are leaking in spurts and fits, but here's what we know so far.
The Denver Post reported Thursday that Metromix, a series of entertainment websites owned by Enquirer parent Gannett Co., is closing its localized websites in seven cities.
Metromix is closing its website operations in Denver, Atlanta, Cleveland, Minneapolis, St. Louis, Tampa and Washington, D.C. Each of the markets is where Gannett owns a television station but not a newspaper.
It's true: Arch-conservative Cincinnati Enquirer columnist Peter Bronson has been laid off.
Earlier today, Bronson posted a message on his blog, Bronson Is Always Right, bidding farewell to his readers. It was posted under the headline, "Unemployment Statistics Increase -- Including Me." The item was posted at 4:54 p.m. but appears to have been later scrubbed from the Web site by newspaper management.
In a stark turnabout from the company's previous position involving the incident, Cintas Corp. has settled a lawsuit filed by the wife of an employee who was burned to death in an industrial dryer at an Oklahoma facility.
When Eleazar Torres-Gomez was killed at the Cintas laundry near Tulsa, Okla., in March 2007, the company took no responsibility and blamed him for his death. Further, Cintas initially tried to block Torres-Gomez's family from claiming workers compensation benefits.
"Black Wednesday" has become "Black Thursday."
Layoffs continued for a second day at The Gannett Co.'s newspaper holdings, including The Cincinnati Enquirer. Because The Enquirer is so notoriously tight-lipped about the names or job titles of staffers who are let go, CityBeat is slowly confirming names from various sources and cobbling together a more complete list.
Keller's IGA, located at 319 Ludlow Ave. in Clifton, shut down Thursday citing tax issues. While the doors are still locked, it has been announced that the store's liquor license is no longer suspended.
Cliftonites have been shopping at IGA's Ludlow location since 1939. Nestled near Arlin's Bar and Esquire Theater, Keller's was one of the only grocery stores in walking distance from The University of Cincinnati and has been a staple for many students and locals, especially those on foot.
While there is a CVS Pharmacy and United Dairy Farmer's nearby, the closest full-service grocery stores are the Kroger stores on West Corry Street (1.5 miles away) and off Spring Grove Avenue (1.7 miles away). The absence of Keller's not only leaves locals with fewer shopping options, but leaves a gap in array of locally-owned businesses in the Gaslight District.
While many former Keller's shoppers will turn to new stores where they can purchase deli items and fresh produce, they will most likely have to forgo supporting a neighborhood store and resort to a larger chain. A sign on Keller's door urges patrons to do what they can to save this local business.

Although it doesn't compare to the wholesale hacking and slashing of staff that occurred in 2009, the latest round of layoffs at The Enquirer includes several positions in the newsroom, which already had seen significant reductions.
At least 16 people on the newspaper's editorial staff were laid off, and another chose to retire, according to reliable sources at the paper.
Political columnist Howard Wilkinson and longtime photographer Michael Keating are among the 26 employees who are leaving The Enquirer as part of a buyout deal.
This week was the deadline for editors at the newspaper to decide whether to accept voluntary "early retirement" buyouts from employees. Although The Enquirer hasn't released any details, current and former co-workers of Wilkinson and Keating have begun discussing their departures and posting their well wishes on social media sites.
So far, CityBeat's emails sent this morning seeking comment haven't been returned.
Gregory Korte, an ex-City Hall reporter at The Enquirer who now works at USA Today, posted, "I grew up reading Howard Wilkinson's politics column in the Cincinnati Enquirer. It's one of the reasons I got into this business, and I was delighted to work and learn alongside him for so long. And Michael E. Keating? The best political photographer I've ever worked with — he could turn a podium shot into pure art. A real reporter's photographer. Now they're both taking a buyout and retiring. The Enquirer has done just fine without me, but I can't imagine it without these two."
Another former Enquirer reporter, Ben Fischer, posted, "Howard Wilkinson you're one of the all-time greats. And that goes for baseball fandom, general good guys AND political reporters. Everybody's going to miss your prose and insights this election season."
Wilkinson confirmed the news on Facebook, adding, "Thanks to one an all. It's been a great ride. But you haven't heard the last from me ... or Michael either... Michael and I were a team; and got to see and do some amazing things over the years. I will always be grateful for that."
The Gannett Co., The Enquirer's corporate owner, announced the buyout offer Feb. 9 and gave employees 45 days to decide whether to apply for the deal.
At the close of the offer period, editors reviewed applications and made final decisions; some people who apply for the deal potentially could've been turned down if their position is deemed essential to the newspaper's operation.
Under the deal, newspaper employees who are age 56 or older and have at least 20 years of service with Gannett as of March 31 are eligible. Although executives said 785 employees meet the criteria, the deal only is being offered to 665 employees "due to ongoing operational needs at the company."
Sources at The Enquirer say executives are looking to shed 26 employees at Cincinnati's only remaining daily newspaper. It is believed that 19 of the positions will come from the newsroom, while six people will be affected in the advertising department, and one person in the online/digital content department.
As part of reductions mandated by Gannett, The Enquirer has laid off about 150 workers during the past two years. Also, employees have had to take five unpaid furloughs during the past three years.

(August 2015) - Phase one construction on the Lower Berryessa Creek Flood Protection Project (click to view project update) takes place this summer and starts approximately 400 feet south of the Milmont Drive Bridge to Abel Street. See "yellow" line on map. Work includes constructing floodwalls and levees to provide a 100-year flood protection as well as restoring tidal and freshwater wetlands. A 100-year flood is a flood event that has a one-in-100 chance of occuring in any given year. Construction began in early July and runs through December 2016. The second phase (orange line on map), which is from Abel Street to Calaveras Boulevard, is still under design, and start of construction is estimated to be within the next two years.
Construction work hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, with occasional Saturday work. Expect typical construction noise during work hours as trucks and crews access the creek at California Circle and Milmont Drive. Truck hauling will occur only between the hours of 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. A minimum of one lane in each direction will remain open throughout the project, but flaggers may be used for traffic control. Smaller equipment, such as pickup trucks, could access the project site at San Andreas Drive.
Equipment can include backhoes, excavators, jackhammers, compactors, loaders, dump trucks, drill rigs, pumps, portable sediment and/or water basins, and concrete pump trucks. The contractor may use a generator to pump water around the project site and back into the creek farther downstream. Expect typical construction conditions such as noise, dust, roadway traffic, lane reductions and truck traffic.
Cross section of channel improvements - Phase one (facing east)
The Lower Berryessa Creek Flood Protection Project extends approximately 1.7 miles through the city of Milpitas, from its confluence with Lower Penitencia Creek, south to Caleveras Boulevard. The project also includes about 2.1 miles of Calera and Tularcitos creeks. These two smaller creeks are tributaries to Berryessa Creek and must also be modified to prevent water from overflowing their banks. When complete, this project will protect vast portions of the City of Milpitas from flood events.

Lancs-Less Task for the OU Profs; Dennis Ellam Is Fair Miffed with the Oxfordisation of Two Cultural Icon S
Ellam, Dennis, The Birmingham Post (England)
This time, the guardians of correctness have surely gone too far - they have meddled with Wallace and Gromit, two of the leading voices of contemporary culture.
The pair have had their colloquialisms cleaned up.
A newly-revised version of their first major work, The Wrong Trousers, has been commissioned by the Oxford University Press, who have insisted that their original Lancashire-speak should be transformed into proper Queen's English.
By 'eck, as Wallace has often said. The dialogue which has charmed millions of devoted followers for the last decade is suddenly found to be too inferior for the OUP.
The academics explain that their videos are used as teaching tools for foreign students learning English, and that figures of Wallace's speech are liable to baffle them (Gromit, as everyone knows, retains a dignified silence).
Even Dickens and Shakespeare, they point out, undergo a simplification process when they are being inserted into basic language textbooks.
Inevitably irate Northerners are unimpressed; they suspect a Southern-based plot to impose posh-sounding standards, and 15 of them who happen to be MPs at once signed an Early Day motion registering their dismay.
"When I'm taking a bath I say I'm taking a bath - and not a barth, with an R, as Southerners would prefer," said the Yorkshire MP David Hinchcliffe.
"Who's to decide which way is correct?"
The Northern lobby has a point, most native English-speakers would agree.
Foreign students who are learning the language are surely being misled, if they come out of college with the impression that it is always spoken in the standard format with Oxford-style clarity. …

Like every muscle, the heart has a voracious appetite for good nutrition. But, unlike other muscles, the heart is constantly at work. A variety of nutrients are involved in muscle function, energy production, and heart health. Supply your heart with the beneficial nutrients found in our Heart Health Program's components which include Cardio Hx®, Fish Oil, and Ubiquinol CoQ10.
Cardio Hx® from InVite® Health is a simple yet precise formula that supports cardiovascular health and cardiac function. Cardio Hx® supplies three key ingredients to promote heart health: Magnesium (133mg, 33% DV), Taurine (333 mg), and Hawthorne Leaf Extract (250mg). Together, these ingredients help maintain the heart's normal rhythm and function. Cardio Hx® also offers nutritional support for blood pressure, helping to maintain blood pressure that's already healthy and more.
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an important energy-releasing nutrient produced naturally in the human body. Traditional CoQ10 (Ubiquinone) supplements may be difficult to absorb, because they must be reduced by the body into their active form before offering nutritional support. Ubiquinol CoQ10 is an effective and powerful antioxidant supplement, helping to protect against free radical damage. It is also particularly effective in supporting healthy cardiovascular functions, as well as the function of several other vital organs. Some studies have shown Ubiquinol to support energy for the brain and body and help to protect the heart from damage support.
InVite® Health's fish oil supplements are sourced from small fish such as herring, sardines and anchovies, which accumulate a much smaller toxin load than larger fish. They are caught in the wild, usually in Canada and Norway, and are subsequently purified according to cGMP standards. Plus, we have molecularly distilled and tested to be sure our fish oils are free of mercury, lead, arsenic, PCB's, Dioxins, Bacteria, and any other contaminants. Our fish oil supplements are enteric-coated in a clear, burp-free, tasteless and odorless coating. InVite® Health's fish oil provides essential nutritional benefits for many crucial areas of health, including the cardiovascular system, blood vessel health, joint maintenance, mental function and mood. Fish oil is an important component of overall health and wellness.
For great discounts, a superb assortment of top-grade nutraceuticals and nutritional supplements, and access to our professional nutritionists, look no further - great health starts right here at InVite® Health. To ask a question or to purchase your Heart Health Program and other Heart Health Vitamins, call us today at (800) 632-0541 or click here to find a store near you!
Like every muscle, the heart has a voracious appetite for good nutrition.

Open these pages and listen in on the twenty-first century: beheadings on the internet and sleeper cells in Jersey, old girlfriends with their Facebook posts of triumph, forced plane change in Atlanta, no matter the place you imagined you wanted to go. "Pine trees shivering//like addicts on the mountain." So how to explain the rush of joy and consolation these brilliant, savvy poems afford? To be sure, sheer mindfulness – and there's mindfulness in abundance here – is a comfort in an age of oblivion and denial. And the music is terrific: Mark Neely has a very fine ear. But something larger is at stake as well, something about the noticing that makes it matter: I can find no better name for it than heart. Open these pages. Take heart.
If James Wright had grown up listening to R.E.M. and watching Twin Peaks, he might have written the gorgeously disappointed and disturbingly glorious poems in Mark Neely's Dirty Bomb. Neely renders contemporary America from the inside out. And while this rendering begins in collective nightmare, there's redemption enough in Neely's humor, his sheer inventiveness, and the deep sympathy with which he treats his subjects. Poems such as "A woman in Dior," "I step away from the oil fires" and "Tonight I am kicking down the doors" are built to last, and they will.
Like the seventeenth-century Dutch painters who divided the space of their framed canvases into repeated geometries of rectangles and squares and light, Mark Neely writes poems that play four-square with poetry—and with the heart. And like those Dutch interiors, his poems are at once intimate and timeless. They issue from a mind as fierce as the hawks "who circle the dead earth, waiting for some small thing to move them." These are poems with a "calling": they paint our lives in twenty-first-century light, "half falling, half in flight."
—Bruce Smith
The world viewed through Mark Neely's window-pane form is bleak and fallen, driven by a distinctly American strain of banality. Yet, the very elegance and order of thought in these poems offers a subtle gesture of resistance. Such resistance is further indicated by the poet's wry use of old-fashioned craft—bull's-eye imagery and poised similes flutter quietly through the collection. Neely's quadruple vision surely clarifies our chintzy modern desperation, but that same vision also isolates a moment or two when our world is still defiantly charged with its old wonder and beauty.
—Maurice Manning
—Kathleen Kirk, Prick of the Spindle

Built To Spill
built to spill
you are pleased precariously
temporarily filled
you will
spill until lower expectations
momentarily chilled
you will
built to spill
because at the time it seemed
like an acceptable deal
you feel
you feel
you feel like you are on the verge of something real
on a role and built to spill
this is how you'll always feel it's no big deal I'm ashamed of you my friend
would you please
would you please I'm to blame for this my friend
would you please
would you please built to spill
carry out your function then occasionally filled
you will
you will
you will come alive to something real then realize you're built to spill
this is how you'll always feel it's no big deal

I've always felt bad for Porygon, especially when I saw the weird looking kinds of Porygon.
With every Porygon evolution, I shudder...
Some of your sentence formation, however, could use a bit of work. Misplaced commas and whatnot aren't that big of an issue, I guess.
I giggled at Mewsevenbillions because of its accuracy. Does that make me a bad person?
