I have this code in my program
// some code here
fprintf(stdout,"Output Log");
fprintf(stderr,"Error Log");
//some code here
It prints only "Error Log". It looked like I was missing to flush between two fprintf. Hence I appended "\n" to String "Output log". Worked fine. But cannot understand this weird behavior when I just swapped two fprintf
// some code here
fprintf(stderr,"Error Log\n");
fprintf(stdout,"Output Log");
//some code here
Inspite of using "\n" it only prints "Error log".

This page investigates how the use of Canon's Highlight Tone Priority (HTP) setting affects noise in the darker areas of an image, even at ISO 200. The EOS 1Ds Mark III user manual describes Highlight Tone Priority as follows .
Improves the highlight detail. The dynamic range is expanded from the standard 18% gray to bright highlights. The gradation between grays and highlights becomes smoother.
(!) With setting 1 (enabled), noise in the shadow areas may be slightly more than usual.
Enabling Highlight Tone priority
HTP is accessed via Custom Function II-3: "C. Fn II: Image/Flash exp/Disp #3". Choosing HTP requires a minimum of ISO 200; it cannot be used at ISO 50 or 100.

Mind Your Momma
Ever since I was a child I've had an affinity for adventure. Nothing fills me with the same sense of overwhelming joy and adrenaline than running through the forest at dusk, and exploring forgotten ruins of old buildings left to rot away. This same passion of mine has always filled my mother with great disapproval.
Every time I would prepare to embark on a new journey, she'd give me the same old spiel about how foolish and dangerous such behaviors were, and how I really should listen when she told me not to go.
Despite her warnings, I never ran into trouble. Sure, I'd gotten my fare share of bumps and bruises from rough spills while hiking, but I wore them like battle scars. I knew the woods behind my house like the back of my hand. So well, in fact, that I began to grow bored with them.
However, to my delight, a few weeks ago my mother informed me that we would be moving to a new town to be closer to my Uncle. I won't list the name of said town because I don't trust you guys not to intentionally seek it out after what I'm about to tell you, but nevertheless, our new home is nestled in a rather large piece of property made up of several dozen acres of heavily forested land.
Anyways, it didn't take long for me to settle into our new place. Since my Uncle now lived rather nearby, he was over, helping us get unpacked. He brought my cousin with him, and it was only a matter of minutes before we discovered our shared love for adventure and began making plans to explore my new backyard.
Seeing us leave, my mother once again stopped me at the door. Preparing for the worst, my cousin and I slumped our shoulders in impatience while she began her ever so familiar speech.
However, this time she wasn't alone. My Uncle had overheard her giving us the what for, and decided to interject.
"You really should mind your Momma."
I sighed loudly and turned my attention over to him, wearing a painfully skeptical expression.
"I know that look." he said. "I gave it to my Momma plenty of times in my day. But I'm being serious. The woods around these parts are not safe."
My cousin and I exchanged wordless looks before reaching for the door once more.
"You think I'm being funny do you?"
His words were sharp this time.
"I'll tell you what, I swore I'd never speak of this again, but if I tell you kids about something that happened to me years ago, and you STILL wanna go, I'll let'cha."
By this point, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't interested in what my Uncle had to say. I mean, my Uncle is a 6'4, gun toting mountain of a man. It would be an understatement to say that he doesn't spook easily. And whatever experience he had in those woods years back, clearly had him shaken.
"Alright." we said in unison, backing away from the door and pulling out chairs from the kitchen table.
He released a great sigh and closed his eyes before beginning to recall his tale.
"Years ago, when I was about your age, my high school buddy lived on this property. We spent a good deal of our time out there exploring. This land goes through all sorts of terrain you know, it's not easy to keep track of it all. Damn near impossible to even know if you're the only ones living here.
Well, my buddy and I had heard rumors that back in the 60's, a group of hippies built a little commune out there somewhere, unbeknownst to the landowner. Being young and curious, we decided to go see for ourselves if there was any truth to these rumors.
We searched for weeks. Even on our atvs, there was only so much land we could cover if we wanted to be home before it got dark. (Mind you, this is cougar country, so you gotta be home before dark.) Anyways, one day after riding for what felt like hours toward the southwest border of the property, we finally found it.
Eerie as Hell, I'll tell you right now. It was clear that it had been vacated for several years by then. It was a perfect little ghost town. It consisted of about 12- 15 little buildings, and what appeared to be a giant old fire pit.
The buildings were covered in moss, and the windows were full of dust. Upon peeking in, it looked as though the buildings functioned like community lodges, meant to house a decent number of people. The doors were nailed shut, and we didn't have a hammer on us, so we resolved to keep looking around, and return another day with a hammer at hand.
After snooping around the ghost town for a while, we noticed a little shack a fair distance away. My friend told me that it was likely a "honey shack", or where couples stayed when they wanted a little privacy from the rest of the community.
Upon approaching the shack, we discovered that the door was not nailed shut like the others! We excitedly made our way inside, where we were surprised by the relatively good condition of the interior. Other than the dust and cobwebs, it looked great. It had shag carpets, cushy old furniture, and some ugly retro wallpaper.
All in all, not bad. We even discussed turning it into a new hangout place for the rest of our friends back at school. It wasn't until we were heading back out that we noticed it.
In the corner of the living room, plopped onto a little chair was an enormous doll. It looked like one of those little wooden artist's dolls, but it appeared to be plush, and it was life size. It was sitting arched over, with its arms bend out and resting upon its knees. It almost looked like it was lost in thought, but its head pointed up, as if looking at us.
My friend and I both became incredibly uncomfortable. There wasn't anything logically frightening about it. There was no apparent danger in it, yet it shook us both. We immediately left the shack, closing the door tightly behind us before hopping back on our atvs and taking off, straight for home.
Years passed, and we both eventually forgot about the commune and the creepy doll. Though we stopped exploring the woods, we still stayed friends all the way through high school, and even kept in contact through college.
It was in our Junior year that we returned.
My friend had invited a bunch of us out to his property for a big party. We were all pretty smashed, so by the time he brought up the subject of that old hippie commune, the thought to decline never occurred to me.
I remember our group made our way back to the old commune and that we broke into a few of the larger buildings. We then remembered the old "honey shack" and decided to take another look. I wish we hadn't.
Though the door was still tightly shut, just how we left it, the interior was not at all the same. It had been completely trashed. The wall paper had been slashed to ribbons, the carpet was torn up in patches, and the stuffing from the furniture was tossed about. But one thing remained the same. That goddamn doll was still there, sitting slumped over in the chair in the corner, in the exact same position it had been years previously.
At this point, my memory is nothing but a blur. It's like I completely blacked out. I remember leaving the shack, and then nothing..."
My Uncle stopped speaking for a moment at this point. He squeezed his eyes shut and frowned. It took him a few moments before he began once more.
"The next thing I remember, I was coming to inside a building. It took me a moment to realize what I had been doing. I was holding a large rock in one hand, and a handful of nails in the other. I was alone inside of the shack, nailing myself inside.
Horror began to rise up inside of me. I frantically looked around, hoping it was some kind of twisted prank, but I was utterly alone, and night had fallen. I felt the hairs on the back of my neck rise as I slowly turned to face the direction of the small chair. But this time, the doll wasn't there.
I began to hear a violent scratching sound from the direction of the kitchen. It was growing louder, and heading in my direction. I frantically began pulling the nails out of the door frame. The scratching grew louder and louder, and I knew it had to be nearly right behind me, but I couldn't bring myself to look.
With one last desperate tug, I pulled out the last nail and threw myself out the front door, slamming it behind me. I broke into a dead run towards my friend's house, screaming as loudly as I could.
Fortunately, a group of people weren't too far off. They were carrying flashlights, and apparently had returned to look for me. I tried to tell them what had happened, but I was in such hysterics that they couldn't understand me.
Upon returning to my friends house, he demanded to know what had happened. Apparently, right after the group had started to leave the "honey shack", I had gone berserk. I had started screaming at them that they needed to leave, and when my friend tried to grab me, a clocked him and continued shouting and demanding everyone leave. Not knowing what to do, and seeing me act so out of character, they decided to take the women back and to return for me later, perhaps after I'd sobered up.
I never did tell him what happened. I simply warned him never to go back there. I can only imagine he didn't take my advice, because a few months later, the house was on the market. His folks never gave a reason, but they left as soon as they found a new place.
Now I'm not trying to be a stick in the mud. I just really think you ought to mind your Momma."

Adding to my favorites cause that was amazing!
i've always had bad experiences with dolls. I remember when i was like 5 i went to visit my grandmother up in the mountains (which was just COVERED with forests) and there was alot of old, unused buildings scattered everywhere. One of them was the house my dad grew up with his siblings (grandma lived in a other building). My whole family went to go visit the old buildings just for fun but there was a doll on top of a tree with a knife in its hand ;^; My dad told me it was probably a prank someone did, but my grandma was the only one who lived up there with my grandpa and if someone did come up there it would take them a while because it was like FAR AWAY from the town. maybe an hour away? Idk, but *shrug* creeeeppyyy.

I watched the youtube video and I thought it was amazing!!!!
Kinda felt myself skipping over parts of this, you may want to streamline your prose, tighten it up a bit. Otherwise, the content is fine.
the worst thing is probably, that now i am really curious about what was making that scratching noise T_T

Creepy story
good job i loved it !!!!!
Creepy, and good, scary, but not that scary, loved it~
A true story? Do tell~!
You can never trust a doll to stay put.
Amazing story writing! I love how you took a story that was told to you're brother by you're uncle and made it into a story from "you're" point of view and then you're uncles. I love when authors do this! the story really flows well so it makes it very easy to see the hole story playing out in you're head and the way you wrote it and with how many details you gave gives it even more to being able to see the story play out in you're head! Keep up the great writing!
Very good. Based on a true story? I don't believe you. It's cool though. I like scary stories.
This is on the front page o_o
this reminds me of a story my mother told me. she said that one night after her and her family had just moved in their new home she decided to go investigate. she told me that at the time her house was pretty huge, they had a large back and front yard that went for acres (my grandparent had a thing for huge houses). she said that along her way she found what looked like and outside cook house. they had a hole in the ground for coal and fire and even a huge grill-thing to fry things. it also had a huge square-shaped hole in the ceiling, probably where they would let the smoke escape. then she told me that as soon as she looked up she saw a figure sitting at the edge of the opening. she could only see it's silhouette except for two big glowing eyes that stared back at her. that scared her enough to send her running back to the house and never going to the cook house again. She told me that she never told anyone the story til this day...
his was freaking creepy
Omg when the scratching noise came and he was pulling out the nails I couldn't help but shout "DUDE HURRY UP!!!!" Thank goodness he pulled out the nails in time. If this was a movie or a short episode that would be the scariest part. Awesome job on this.
Based on a true story?
This scared me ; v;
It reminded me of a small shack/house/wooden tent thingy. It was inside our school grounds, knowing that the grounds are locked up when we leave school got a few people thinking and talking. A big group from my school were doing orienteering exercises and I was in that group too, so we went into the woodland area which covered most of the school grounds outside, so me and my guy-friend who was with me at the time was pointing to a small group of people huddled and crawling into something, so we walked/climbed to the group. We found a wooden shack/house/tent-like thing around a tree. It had camping stuff inside it, so a few people shouted to their friends, which then got the attention of the teachers supervising us. The teachers then told us to never go into the woods again after that... o vo;

I made it worse for myself by reading and listening at the same time... Then my phone scared the crap out of me while reading by deciding to turn off!!!!
Oh my god.. The story didn't scare me that much but after looking at the picture, I remembered that I bought a doll exactly like this. It wasn't life size though.
nice one :3
Congrats on making it on the front page, Madame! I watched the audiobook version last night and I loved it ♥
I have an artistic mannequin in my room...and a wooden hand...and a bunch of...dolls, that watch me when I sleep.
This is very well written, it's great!

Non Violence VS. Police State
Yesterday morning officially began the War of the People VS. The Police State. A chemical bomb was thrown in an Occupy Maine encampment. Less than 12 hours later across the country riot cops stormed Occupy Oakland and seized and barricaded the plaza were they had been staying. Now just hours ago, riot police rained down a furry of tear gas and rubber bullets at Oakland protesters. This is War. Unarmed citizens have been attacked. Where are the Black Panthers and the Weathermen Underground when you need them?
Martin Luther King was a non-violent activist. Malcolm X believed in the right to bear arms.Where do we draw the line with the Occupy Movement. Police brutality can not be tolerated why we sit by and chant and claim the cops are part of the 99%. They are trained to become animals. They are not here to protect and serve the American people but to stomp out dissent with the militarized heel of the police state.
I-95U Miami's New Super Highway Smells Fishy
Like a scene from a Sci-Fi movie directed by Blade Runner's Ridley Scott, the future of travel has arrived at our doorsteps. We were too busy preparing for fixed elections and hunkering down in this new bad economy to notice what has been going on right here in South Florida. Apparently a new super highway is being built on the sea floor from the port of Miami to Haiti. This project is expected to be completed this year and the source of funds is not clear. It is a model for a new Global Highway being built in international waters, I suspect the UN may be the daddy of this fat little baby.
The Union of Everett interstate route number assigned to the tunnel is I-95U standing for Interstate 95 Underwater. The portion of the planned Caribbean Sea Tunnel, will span from Miami, Florida to Cap-Haitien in Haiti, a total of 600 miles of tunnel set at the bottom of the sea floor. I-95U will feature a rest stop every 50 miles containing fuel stations, food, restrooms and fire/medical/police centers...
Or this could be some elaborate hoax concocted by an ex Dungeon and Dragons turned gaming idiot who couldn't get laid so he made his own little world on Wiki to get chicks…
The Apocalypse Now
7 months after the BP oil spill, the real horror of the disaster is coming to surface. Huge bodily sores, collapsed lungs and infant deaths are the new American health pandemic. Forget the new influenza of biological terror, the truth is staring us down and will not go away. The oil emperor that now run our government have put a band-aid across your tv screen during the evening news. Wake up and smell the methane:
Welcome to China…
As I sit here in the United States of America, so I thought. I am being blocked from internet sites while at the Public Library. Sites like conspiracyarchive.com and freemasonarywatch.org. I googled news about this to see if this is some new legislation. I see bits of new under my search about protecting children, something about google safe mode, however when I click on this news I am automatically redirected to sites like Martha Stewart and Christmas Shopping Search Engines. We are no longer a sovereign nation. This is the New Republic of the World Order.
World Cup Buries Child Genocide
June 16th marked 34 years since the Soweto Student Uprising in South Africa when thousands of grade school and high school children took to the streets to protest learning "Afrikaans" in school. CNN covered the story as a backdrop to the World Cup. Not surprisingly, they reported that only 23 students were killed on that day in 1976. That is what the South African government also estimated. However, the truth is that as many as 700 students were killed and 4000 wounded on what is now honored as a national holiday called Youth Day.
Why would CNN stick to that low figure 34 years later when even a simple Wikipedia search turns out the real results? It is a perfect example of how illiterate and media controlled we are as a nation. They probably figured no one would do a simple internet search or god forbid pick up an actual encyclopedia. I'm sure South Africa doesn't want any bad press, considering they have the World Cup in their hands, but really, come on… give us Americans a little faith CNN, some of us still know how to read.
In light of these events, it is ironic that I unknowingly rented "Cry Freedom" on June 16th. It stars Denzel Washington as Steve Biko a leader for Black Consciousness in South Africa at that time. The movie is based on his true story as written by newspaper editor Donald Woods, played by Kevin Kline. I'm sure you won't find it at Blockbuster (at least the unedited version).
Again, thank you Broward Library for doing your job and educating me.
Codex Alimentarius Two Magic Words
Codex Alimentarius is a secretive organization whose name sounds more like the latest Harry Potter Novel than an enforcer of WHO. I can actually see our dear Harry whimsically waving his wand proclaiming "Codex Alimentarius"; two sinister words that contain much black magic when you get down to decoding them. An organization that began in 1962 under seemingly innocent terms to regulate food that is traded internationally, Codex Alimentarius is Latin for "Food Code". It sounds wholesome enough, who can argue against food standards and regulations, especially with the advent of new super pesticides, GMO's and cloning? Well, put on your Harry Potter Dunce cap for the real Codex Alimentarius de-coded.
The U.N of Food Laws, Codex can impose sanctions upon countries that do not follow by its "guidelines", which are hardly voluntary. an organization that is coupled next to the WTO, WHO, the U.N, and the FDA in the U.S. All countries belonging to the WTO must "Harmonize" their food standards with Codex. This Orwellian Doublespeak has already been imposed on the once free people of the European Nations (Once free countries unto themselves) now known as the European Union.
In December of 2005, to much protest of Europeans, The EU set up a Vitamin and Mineral guide on the grounds that vitamins and minerals are" medical drugs" not food. Under the name of Directive on Dietary Supplements Codex Alimentarius has snuck into the very food on grocery store shelves without little word. All Vitamins and Minerals are to be sold in doses deemed appropriate by the government. The Directives list of supplements is down to a mere 15 minerals and 13 vitamins that do not include 40 necessary supplements to the human metabolism for survival such as Selenium, the others will only be allowed with a prescription. All Supplements whether over the counter or prescription must follow the governments RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) which is much lower than what is actually needed
"Merck," according to VerKerk, controls the manufacturing and distribution of the base ingredients OF THE ONLY SUPPLEMENTS THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE in Europe – and possibly North America.
Since 1973 the amount of vitamins occurring in fruits and vegetables has slowly dropped
without a real reason. Today you need to eat twice as many fruits and vegetables gain the same health benefits. Nutritionists are baffled by this fact but some claim this has happened because of modern food storage practices and the demand for fresh fruits and vegetables all year long, even when not in season. Fruit is harvested from places like Chile in the winter months, their summer time, and shipped to the U.S where it is irradiated and stored on warehouse shelves for up to 6 months. The fruit and vegetables appear "Fresh" due to irradiation, but it is the process of irradiation that strips our apples of there Vitamin C. So what was once a living, raw source of vital energy is stripped of her natural healing powers. The rise of preventable diseases has also steadily decreased along with our nutrients. I should also mention that irradiated food reacts in our bodies creating a chemical that interferes with human D.N.A affecting the genes of your children and theirs and eventually, yes all of humanity.
Most people do not realize that the world's pharmaceutical companies control the FDA. The FDA answers to them, especially since the head of the FDA is Dick Cheney's best friend. Because Dick Cheney owns Aspartame (NutraSweet, Sweet and low) and had Reagan appoint his friend to the FDA so Aspartame could be approved although, scientist doctors and nutritionist screamed out against it, warning of its toxicity in the human body. It causes tumors in rat's kidneys and livers as well as Alzheimer's and general brain retardation. At temperature above 86` aspartame turns into formaldehyde, well last time I check the human body temperature 96`,
In the very near future I forsee a grocery store commercial for the new chain called "Codex". Over video of children lighting fireworks and eating watermelon a woman's voice will say in a sexy English accent "Welcome to Codex, we are now a world in Harmony", the New World Order's slogan. People will sit back drinking their green tea with extra fluoride for is nutritional value, talking about how lucky we are to not be living in a time when people were so ignorant that they consumed organic produce subjecting themselves to the dangers of dirt, i.e. zinc, iron, potassium and all the other poisonous vitamins we used to consume.
Codex Alimentarius went into effect in the U.S last December, 2009.
Nuclear Waste in your Toothpaste
'The level of fluoride the government allows the public is based on scientifically fraudulent information and altered reports,' charges Robert Carton, an EPA environmental scientist. 'People can be harmed simply by drinking water,' Carton warns. (7)
So, ever wonder what fluoride is exactly? Does it really prevent cavities? Why does the government care so much about our teeth? I can't help being a bit suspicious, especially because I was raised in a military town where the water tasted like a swimming pool. As kids we were always told not to drink it and our parents put carbon filters on our sinks. But we never discussed why it was so bad and I don't think my parents really knew either, other than the fact it had a highly chemical taste. So here I offer you tax paying citizens, the truth, through once classified data, to the United State's biggest kept secret.
Between 1941-1946 in Hanford Washington, the U.S government began a top-secret program called the Manhattan Project. This is scientists began development of the first Atomic bomb that would later be dropped on Nagasaki Japan. They began producing enriched Uranium, using uranium hexafluoride (UF6), which Fluorosilicic acid is a byproduct of.
The U.S government had its own scientists prove that fluoride was not harmful to the human body. The DuPont Plant, responsible for the Manhattan Project was under pressure from lawsuits from nearby New Jersey Farmers. They claimed Fluoride killed their peach trees and crippled their livestock.
"If the farmers won, it would open the door to further suits, which might impede the bomb program's ability to use fluoride,' said Jacqueline Kittrell, a Tennessee public interest lawyer specializing in nuclear cases, she added "The reports of human injury were especially threatening, because of the potential for enormous settlements — not to mention the PR problem.'(1)
This top-secret study was called "Project F". Based on research in 1939 a dentist named H. Trendley Dean, working for the U.S. Public Health Service, examined water in Towns in Texas. Although water with high levels of organic (not fluorosilicic acid) fluoride caused mottled teeth he found the children had little cavities, thus proclaiming fluoride prevented cavities. Although there has been significant research (especially outside the U.S) which suggests cavities in towns without fluoridated water were no different, this research has been ignored by the American Dental Association.
'I observed that… the percentage of children who were free of dental decay was higher in the unfluoridated part of most health districts in New Zealand.', said John Colquhoun New Zealand's most prominent fluoridation advocate and the country's chief dental officer.(2)
In a letter dated March, 1983 on EPA letterhead, written by then U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Deputy Assistant Administrator for Water, Rebecca Hanmer. In that document, Ms. Hanmer frankly admits that:
In regard to the use of fluosilicic acid as a source of fluoride for fluoridation, this agency [the EPA] regards such use as an ideal environmental solution to a long-standing problem. By recovering by-product [read that: toxic waste product] fluosilicic acid from fertilizer manufacturing, water and air pollution are minimized, and water utilities have a low-cost source of fluoride available to them. (3)
In fact, research suggests that too much fluoride causes dental fluorsis; a condition that leaves white spots on the teeth and in worst cases leaves teeth brown and brittle. If ingested, such as in drinking water, small amounts are absorbed in the bones causing osteoporosis. Research has also shown that in small children it causes low I.Q (Thought Control, Big Brother?)
'The notion that systemic fluorides are needed in nonfluoridated areas is an outdated one that should be abandoned altogether,' says Canada's leading fluoride authority, Hardy Limeback, head of the Department of Preventive Dentistry at the University of Toronto and past president of the Canadian Association for Dental Research. "Fluoride gets into every cell of the body and can especially damage the bones and teeth.,' says Limeback. (4)
An amount as small as 2.8 mg can cause crippling skeletal fluorosis, a condition were the vertebrae can fuse together crippling the patient. A 1991 U.S public health study found that through the consumption of tap water, toothpaste, food and other beverages we consume at least 6.5 mg of fluoride daily. 5g of pure sodium fluoride is deadly to the adult human. One tube of colgate alone contains %14 sodium fluoride per 221 g of toothpaste. That's 30g of sodium fluoride. Keep out of reach of children and adults.
The CDC's own website offers this warning from the EPA:
On March 22, 2006, the committee's report, Fluoride in Drinking Water: A Scientific Review of EPA's Standards, was issued by the National Research Council. * The report addresses the safety of high levels of fluoride in water that occur naturally, and does not question the use of lower levels of fluoride to prevent tooth decay. The committee concluded that the current MCLG of 4 mg/L should be lowered to better protect people from the health risks associated with high natural fluoride levels.(5)
Many countries will not fluoridate their water, such as France, Germany and England.
Water fluoridation was stopped in the following World Health Organization (WHO) Countries:
Federal Republic of Germany (introduced 1952, stopped 1971)
Sweden (introduced 1952, stopped 1971)
Netherlands (introduced 1953, stopped 1976)
Czechoslovakia (introduced 1958, stopped 1988/90)
German Democratic Republic (introduced 1959, stopped 1990 (Spremberg 1993) Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (introduced 1960, stopped 1990)
Finland (introduced 1959, stopped 1993)
Outside Europe: Japan (introduced 1952, stopped 1972)(6)
While England's water is unfluordated, English people consume 3 cups of tea a day on average. Tea leaves are more susceptible to absorption of fluoride from pollution in the soil and air. One cup of black tea has 7.8 mg of fluoride, steeped for 10 minutes or more doubles the amount. Green Tea has 22 mg per tea bag.
Another source of the toxic waste byproduct fluosilicic acid, remember its not the organic fluoride their putting in our water, is tephlon. Grapes are another highly toxic source of fluoride due to the use of pesticides. Fertilizer contains high amounts of the toxic waste. Dannon adds fluoride to their drinking water. Cooking with aluminum, which raises the toxicity of fluoradited water, is also harmful and is the real culprit in Alzheimer's. And worse for children, Fluoride sucks the lead out of plumbing passing it into your child's bath, toothbrush and cool-aid.
Interestingly, the areas in the U.S were depleted Uranium are stored, have the highest statewide water fluoridation rate. In Washington, the site of the Manhattan Project, Fluoride is used in 100% of the state's water. Paducah, Kentucky is another uranium storage site with a 99.6% use of fluoride. Oakridge, Tennessee also stores uranium and has a statewide use of 96%. Portsmouth, Ohio, another uranium storage site has a 90.6% state usage. I don't think this could be a coincidence.
Do not drink the water, use ice in restaurants or cook with tap water. Installing a carbon type filter on your tap filters out fluoride. Drinking water that is distilled using reverse osmosis is also safe. Don't cook with aluminum or tephlons pans. Drink Organic Wine. Don't take baths in tap water; fluoride is absorbed in the skin. And definitely do not use fluoride toothpaste. My grandparents always used baking soda and gargled with peroxide (pre fluoridated water days). Below is a recipe for making your own toothpaste, it keeps your breath fresher than the toxic waste they have been selling us.
Non-Toxic Waste Toothpaste
MAKE YOUR OWN TOOTH POWDER. Thoroughly mix 3 parts baking soda (the cleanser and sweetener) with part salt (the abrasive) and funnel the compound into a short small-mouthed container such as a pop or beer bottle. J]|jYou'll find that the creation has a satisfying, different taste and leaves your mouth feeling very fresh and soothed. If you'd like, add a few drops of peppermint or wintergreen oil to the concoction – or mix the home 'brew' half-and-half with a commercial tooth powder – to give the dentifrice a more pleasant flavor.
MAKE YOUR OWN TOOTHPASTE. This formula is simply an extension of the tooth powder recipe: To each half cup of homemade powder, add 3 teaspoons of glycerin, 10-20 drops of flavoring (peppermint, wintergreen, anise, cinnamon or whatever) and 1 drop of food coloring. Mix the ingredients thoroughly in a bowl and add just enough water to make the concoction 'tooth-pastey'. Spoon the substance into a small refillable plastic squeeze bottle or any container that dispenses easily and won't leak. VoilÁ! Toothpaste!

Medium Cool
Today I nominate "Medium Cool" as an American Movie Classic worthy of a spot on your shelf right next to "Easy Rider". Directed by Haskell Wexler and released in 1969, it marks a small piece of american history that must not be forgotten; the riots of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in 1968. Violence disrupted peaceful protests as riot police battled against American citizens in a war for freedom. Demonstrators fought like urban guerillas without guns to stand against their government. Innocent bystanders were beaten including a little boy. The violence was broadcast on live t.v for 17 minutes. There were 23,000 police to 10,000 protesters reminding all U.S citizens that our country is not our own but a police state.
The highlight of the movie for me is during the psychedelic nightclub sequence when the band sings a song called "Phony Hippies". The real band was called "The Litter". The lyrics are awesome, here's the chorus, sung by Frank Zappa in the original movie release:
Every town must have a place
Where phony hippies meet
Psychedelic dungeons
Popping up on every street
Wexler does a beautiful job with the cinematography mixing real documentary pieces with the script. The actors are actually at the riots. He also won an Academy Award for one of my favorite films, "Whose Afraid of Virginia Woolf".
You can pick up "Medium Cool" at the Broward library.
Free Haiti
It was 46 degrees this morning! I've laid out for a total of 2 inglorious hours since my last post. This is the 22nd most popular international tourist destination because of our warm climate, even during the winter. All this Christmas time weather has gotten me and the rest of the nation re-thinking global warming. On saturday there was snow on the ground in 49 states including Florida!
Maybe Al Gore is right about Global Warming as evidenced by the extreme weather. But the United States is looking more like "The Day after Tomorrow". Maybe we will see a live performance of "2012" this summer. Or perhaps this hot chocolatey weather is proof of an inconvenient conspiracy cooked up by the Illuminati. Afterall Gore, Bush, Clinton and Obama all belong to the super secret CFR ( council on foreign relations), which further credit claims of the N.W.O (New World Order) and its rise to power. I still remember when Bush Jr. was appointed by the Grand Pu Ba and my grandmother's over emotional reaction, "God put him there!," she said as tears ran down her cheeks. "Thank you Jesus!", she shouted. Her patriotic fervor for a man whose family had money in Nazi Banks while her own husband trembled underwater as bombs swished by proves even further that he is (at least from 2001-2009) the one true Anti-Christ.
Now that most of the WWII generation has passed on, there is a new generation of blood to be tricked into their war mongering schemes. Perhaps creating hysteria over Global Warming is the new Hitler for the new millenium, our 2 minute hate. But isn't the U.S and our dinosaurs in Washington responsible for all that industrial waste?
I wonder what our grandfathers would say if they knew about H.A.A.R.P "High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program". This little talked about project has used 250 million dollars in U.S tax money since 2008. The U.S government claims H.A.A.R.P's main purpose is to study the ionosphere. However, some scientists and physicists claim its true purpose is to use as a weather weapon capable of causing earthquakes, floods and blizzards.
Even before the aftershocks began, the blogging on H.A.A.R.P and the Haiti Earthquake was conspired. Iran and Venezuela blaim H.A.A.R.P ( No surprise really, there a little pissed at us). According to the Russian Naval Fleet we were aiming for Iran, but missed. Here is an excerpt from whatdoesit mean.com :
"A grim report prepared by the Russian Northern Fleet for Prime Minister Putin is stating today that the catastrophic earthquake that has devastated the Island of Haiti was the 'clear result' of a United States Navy test of one of its 'earthquake weapons' planned to be used by the Americans upon the Persian Nation of Iran but had gone 'horribly wrong'."
you can read the rest of the report herehttp://www.whatdoesitmean.com/index1322.htm:
The truth can often be so unobtainable or seem so fucking ridiculous that I'd rather just drop some acid and wait for the aliens or a-bombs or the agnostics, maybe the Avengers or Avril Lavigne in boyshorts with a hot pink cape and a dildo magic wand to wipe away all the bullshit lying politicians.
Well the sad fact is that all conspiracies aside, the U.S does have a shady history with the country of Haiti. Perhaps you know about the Haitian Rebellion of 2004, a coup d' etat (My favorite Wendy O Williams album, which is sadly out of print)? Somehow I don't remember seeing this on CNN, but their president at the time Jean-Bertrand Aristide claimed he was kidnapped by the U.S just before his second term. He claims the U.S Wanted him to sell off Haiti's state owned enterprises such as electricity and telephones. He argued that privatizing those companies would have just made the rich richer and the poor even poorer. Friend to George Bush, current President Rene Preval has done just that.
In 2003 the leader of the Haitian gang called the "Cannibal Army" was killed leading to a militant uprising that was supported by the U.S Government according to a lawyer representing the Haitian Government. The rebels who changed their name to the "National Revolutionary Front for the Liberation of Haiti" fought Aristide's police and civilian army even in Port Au Prince before the situation de-escalated . Aristides claims he did not volunteer to leave, but had this to say:
"There is a document that was signed to avoid a bloodbath, but there was no formal resignation," he said. "This political kidnapping was the price to pay to avoid a bloodbath."
Even the University of Miami school of Law had this to say about the rebellion:
"U.S. officials blame the crisis on armed gangs in the poor neighborhoods, not the official abuses and atrocities, nor the unconstitutional ouster of the elected president. Their support for the interim government is not surprising, as top officials, including the Minister of Justice, worked for U.S. government projects that undermined their elected predecessors. Coupled with the U.S. government's development assistance embargo from 2000–2004, the projects suggest a disturbing pattern."
During times of crisis Corporations and wealthy Nations profit from devastated countries by sending aid in the form of loans that must be re-payed. Emergency contracts are signed that benefit a handful of corporations such as Bechtel and Halliburton did during the Iraq War. Right now the census amongst U.S Citizens is that it is good for us to re-build in Haiti with the belief that Haiti will be better off than before the earthquake.On January 13th a pro-corporatist organization called the Heritage Foundation had this to say about what the role of the U.S in Haiti should be:
"The U.S. government response should be bold and decisive. It must mobilize U.S. civilian and military capabilities for short-term rescue and relief and long-term recovery and reform. President Obama should tap high-level, bipartisan leadership. Clearly former President Clinton, who was already named as the U.N. envoy on Haiti, is a logical choice. President Obama should also reach out to a senior Republican figure, perhaps former President George W. Bush, to lead the bipartisan effort for the Republicans.
While on the ground in Haiti, the U.S. military can also interrupt the nightly flights of cocaine to Haiti and the Dominican Republic from the Venezuelan coast and counter the ongoing efforts of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to destabilize the island of Hispaniola. This U.S. military presence, which should also include a large contingent of U.S. Coast Guard assets, can also prevent any large-scale movement by Haitians to take to the sea in dangerous and rickety watercraft to try to enter the U.S. illegally."
Inviting Mr. Bush to Haiti as a spokesman for disaster preparedness would be brilliant, maybe this time we can get Wyclef Jean to say, " George Bush exploits black people". Yes, stop the nightly cocaine flights, so we can bring more into Miami. Thats just what my friends need, more crack rocks!
Another reason for the ousting of Haiti's first Democratically elected president sounds all too familiar: oil. Since 1979 it's been known that the Caribean Island has huge oil reserves and other rare minerals hiding between tetonic plates. Aristide planned on pumping the oil in hopes of strengthening Haiti's economy. He didn't want those riches to end up in the hands of the Oligarchs which is what is going to happen now. Here is an excerpt describing his plans for Haiti:
"The Aristide development plan was contained in the book published in Haiti in 2000, Investir dans l'Human. Livre Blanc de Fanmi Lavalas sous la Direction de Jean-Bertrand Aristide, Port-au-Prince, Imprimerie Henri Deschamps, 2000. It contained detailed maps, tables, graphics, and a national development plan for 2004 "covering agriculture, environment, commerce and industry, the financial sector, infrastructure, education, culture, health, women's issues, and issues in the public sector." In 2004, using NGOs and the UN and a vicious propaganda campaign to vilify Aristide, the Bush administration got rid of the elected President."
Since January 12 more of that black gold was released making it easier to pump. Pay attention to the companies getting the big contracts during the re-building of Haiti in the upcoming months so you can learn the TRUTH for yourself; It is always profit over people.
If you look at the history of Haiti you will see it is a country that has been exploited from its beginning with its "independence" from France 200 years ago, to its current situation as greedy nations grasp for control. The majority of Haiti's debt was lifted last June, however their problems go deeper than debt. The world must stop looking at the country as a nation of ex-slaves, criminals and voodooist, but as a people recovering from a horrific genocide. Like the Jews in Germany, Africans have been targeted for their skin color and religious practices. Africans were an earth loving, magical people like the pagans. They should have their country back with all its natural resources and live free as a free species on a free planet, fuck capitalism, fuck consumerism, fuck religion (most genocide is committed under the pretense of religion), fuck manifest destiny and the space race. We need to take care of each other and the planet.

2014 Nissan Cars
The Nissan Altima is one of America's best selling cars, and Nissan has seen enormous success with their Versa small car which adds the all-new Versa Note hatchback to the line-up this year. Nissan has also had success with their Sentra compact, Murano and Rogue crossovers and Frontier pickup. Halo cars like the 370Z and 370Z Roadster, the GTR supercar and Leaf electric car have helped the brand's image, but other vehicles like the Juke crossover, Quest minivan, Xterra SUV, Cube compact, Maxima full-size sedan, Pathfinder and Armada SUVs and the Titan full-size pickup haven't achieved much success recently.
Nissan, originally known as Datsun in America, got off to a strong start in the late 1960s and 1970s by offering affordable, reliable alternatives to European cars with offerings like the 240Z and 510 sports cars. A name change to Nissan in the 1980's had little impact on the brand's success, and their vehicles have constantly won critical acclaim.

Verizon Hikes Dividends
Verizon chairman and CEO said: "This increase reflects the strength of our cash flow and balance sheet. It demonstrates the Board's commitment to return cash to our shareholders while continuing to invest in the long-term growth of our business."
The company currently yields a very respectable 6.10%. Before you decide that Verizon (VZ) is a great company to own however, please consider the following information.
First, the company has been unable to increase earnings per share over the past decade. EPS has declined from $2.66 in 1999 to $2.26 in 2008. Smart dividend growth investors understand that without growth in earnings, the company's ability to generate dividend growth is very slim.
Second, the company does not have a long history of consecutive dividend increases. The company started raising its distributions in 2005, after 6 years of unchanged dividend payments. The positive factor however is that the company has not cut its dividends over the past 25 years. It has either raised them or kept them unchanged.
Third, the dividend payout ratio is not covered well enough to support further dividend increases. Currently this indicator is at 77%. This, coupled with the fact that EPS growth has been stagnant over the past decade not only means that future dividend growth would be close to zero, but that the dividend payment could end up in jeopardy of a dividend cut. The positive factor here is that in 2008 cash flow was $7.57 per share. The capital expenditures required to maintain the business run at about $6/share. This leaves all remaining cash flow for dividends.
The company's growth could come from focusing on its wireless operations, realizing synergies from acquisitions of Alltel and cost efficiencies. I view as a positive the fact that Verizon (VZ) is selling almost 5 million fixed lines and 1 million broadband customer accounts to Frontier for $8.6 billion. Wireline is in a decline, and thus focusing most of the attention to wireless operations is a smart move for the long run.
At this point of time I am not a big fan of telecom companies such as Verizon (VZ) and AT&T (T), which both spot above average dividend yields. Their dividend payouts are above 74%, which seems unsustainable to me. Earnings growth also appears to have stalled, which is not a good sign for long term dividend growth.
On the other hand I like the fact that both companies have been gaining share of the wireless markets either through acquisitions or organic growth. The telecom market is highly competitive; the costs to maintain and operate a network run in the tens of billions of dollars for companies the size of AT&T (T) and Verizon (VZ).
At this point of time I would maintain a hold on both AT&T (T) and Verizon (VZ). While the current yield is very tempting, without a boost to dividends in the future, inflation would erode their purchasing power over time.

Out of the universe of good dividend paying companies, VZ ranks pretty low given that they were unable to increase their dividend payouts on a consistent basis over the last several years. Although maybe the hiatus from increases was due to major network expansions (what's their return on equity look like?).ReplyDelete
They seem to be gaining traction with FIOS, how does that factor into your analysis?
- AnonymousSeptember 8, 2009 at 9:43 PM
I have a fairly large position in VZ and think this is missing a couple of factors.ReplyDelete
VZ has spun off several business (though you would have gotten killed holding some of them) over the years, which distorts the drop in EPS.
It would take about 7 years of 10% dividend increases for a 3% stock to reach 6%. VZ has been fairly steady and has the cash flow to maintain their dividend.
Overall, I think maintaining a position in telecommunications stocks, particularly VZ, will provide a significant income source for years to come

What's up with verizon's payout ratio and P/E? Maybe fidelity is screwing it up, but that are through the roof.ReplyDelete

Suitcases packed with all they can carry represent all that's left of some Syrian refugees' belongings at the Tal shehab Reception Center near Ash Shajarah in northern Jordan, April 2, 2013. At the this reception center alone, Jordan armed forces soldiers receive a thousand to 1,500 Syrian refugees daily, a number that has continued to grow as the desperation inside Syria increases. More than a million civilians have escaped the violence in Syria that began two years ago between forces loyal to the country's ruling Ba'ath Party and opposition forces fighting to expel it.
