EXPERIENCE: CALCIFIED STONES? Is there anyone who flushed calcified stones out?
Is there anyone who flushed calcified stones out?
I have no doubt that many people who are doing cleanse, are getting calcified stones out, suppose they have them there in the first place.
The problem is: extremely few people use colander inside toilet bowl to collect all stones.
More then just a few people collect floating stones from the toilet bowl, but calcified stones does not float, so chances of catching calcified stone inside toilet bowl are more then poor.
This is one story about calcified stones, told by Dusan, friend of mine who started Gallstones group.
Here is the original story.
My grandmother Nada told me this story about when she was around forty years old. I was a teenager when she first told me this story, but I still remember it as though she told me a few years ago. I could imagine everything she experienced when she told me this story. I still remember most of the stories my grandmother told me.
It happened somewhere in Belgrade in the 1950s. She was living with her two sons, my father, and my uncle.
That year, she often experienced sharp and long lasting pain on her right side and under her rib cage. I think it was winter.
A doctor diagnosed her with gallstones. He suggested a fat-free diet. I guess surgery was out of the question at that time. Yugoslavia was destroyed in World War II; I doubt doctors were performing gallbladder surgery in the fifties. Even if they were performing that type of surgery at that time, knowing my grandmother, I really doubt she would dare to undertake surgery.
Her pain was getting worse, so most people who knew her knew how bad she was suffering. Through friends, she came in contact with an old, retired doctor who gave her a recipe written on a small piece of paper. She kept that piece of paper for years together with her most important papers and documents, and she shared the recipe with others who needed it, but, eventually, she lost it. However, the recipe was very simple & easy to remember, so she did not forget it.
Here is the recipe:
Gallstones cleansing recipe:
Eat only fat-free breakfast the day of cleanse, and then fast.
In the evening:
squeeze juice from 10 lemons
and mix it with 1 cup of olive oil.
Drink it.
Walk all night. Empty bowels into the pot and look for stones.
So, she did it. My father and his brother (who were teenagers) had to stay awake all that night.
She was so weak, and had so much pain, they had to hold her and walk with her all night. As she explained, her pain was so intense at some moments, she couldnt support herself when standing. Sometimes, she just lay on the floor in pain.
She emptied her bowels several times that night and morning.
In the morning, they counted over 28 calcified stones of different color, many of them bigger than marbles. The stones were as hard as rock.
She kept those stones in a plastic bag for years, but eventually, she lost them when she moved into another house.
She never had the gallstone problem again, and she never repeated that cleanse again.
I asked my father if he remembered that night, but he doesn't.
My grandmother is dead, my uncle is dead, and I am the only person who remembers this story.
I am telling it to my kids, and to you, so the story will not be forgotten.
Best of health
One more story:
From: Sara Klein Ridgley, PhD email@example.com
I tend to agree with you somewhat on the nature of the soluble stones.
However, when I did the cleanse both for myself and with clients, what I found was both kinds were there. In several cases where the people were scheduled for gallbladder surgery and we did the cleanse beforehand, there was no sign of the stones upon ultrasound scan.
One woman, who was 86 at the time (11 years ago), collected the stones (that were rock hard) and put them in a jar, and took them to her physician. She announced that "this doctor from America (I was visiting another country when this happened...) took my stones out". The doctor first thought that she was nuts, but when she showed him the jar, he went white in the face. Then he ordered another ultrasound and found the gallstones that were there the week before were gone. This woman is still alive and kicking happily and in good health!
I have noticed, for example, that many, many people who undergo gallbaldder removal surgically, become depressed shortly thereafter.
I also have thoughts and "speculations" regarding the energy/spiritual factors behind gallbladder problems, but that's another story..
I have used another flush, which is very simple, very safe, yet very
dramatic, and even old people with various ailments can do it safely.
However, I always like to observe, assist and take care that nothing
strange goes on (My control issues? maybe, or just caution...).
This one involves 5 days of preparation with eliminating all fat from the diet, and it includes Epsom Salts , olive oil and freshly squeezed grapefruit juice. I usually do a kidney cleanse prior to the liver/gallbladder flush, which dramatically improves the body's ability to handle the flush.--

We are currently using Titan FTP Server, but we have found that it has a memory leak. It also seems to fail two to three times a week during high load periods causing problems for our clients. When the Titan FTP Server fails, rebooting the actual (hardware) server seems to be the only way to fix the problem. When we have upgraded to their latest server code the problem becomes much worse. I have also tried working with their customer support and they have not been able to resolve the issue.
Hence, we are looking to replace the Titan FTP Server with another commercial grade FTP Server. We do all file transfers using SFTP and SFTP capability is a requirement. We transfer files to and from a large number of clients and the file sizes range from fairly small to 20MB. At peak times we may have 40 or more clients connected and either uploading or downloading files to the server.
Our environment is Windows Server 2008 Standard running on a 64 bit machine with 32GB of memory.

Lovely day, Issy. Thank you for sharing the experience with us.
Manatees are beautiful creatures more related to the elephant than any marine animal. Isn't that interesting?
They are gentle, graceful and curious which is what leads them into trouble with boaters.
Fortunately, with new laws enacted over time, the manatees are no longer on the brink of extinction, but still considered an endangered species.
When you were telling me about on the phone I had goosebumps, but now seeing the pictures.............well all I can say is that I'm coming on vacation with you and Dave!!!!

The real secret to building a budget that really works isn't tracking what you spend any more than counting calories is the secret to losing weight. The key is creating a sustainable structure for your finances, one that balances spending and income, and leaves enough room to handle the unexpected.
Joe makes $100,000 per year and is in a 25% tax bracket. Once he is paid, $17,500 goes into his company retirement plan, pretax, OR 17.5% of our 40% goal. Joe is already almost halfway to his goal.
Joe then deposits $458.33 per month, ($5,500 annually) into a Roth IRA for himself and an additional $458.33 each month into a Roth IRA for his wife. Since these are AFTER-TAX investments we need to adjust upward by adding the taxes back in which would value the total of the $11,000 in annual contributions at $13,750. So far Joe has already saved 31.25% of his goal of 40%.
Joe then deposits $730 into an investment account each month, via automatic deposit, which is an additional $8,760 a year making up the balance of the savings goal.
Joe then has a final net paycheck he deposited into his bank account which is equivalent to 60% of his gross pay after all deductions. Each month Joe spends everything in his bank account. He doesn't have to worry about saving anything because it has already been done and Joe learns not to miss the money piling into his savings accounts because he never got to see it in the first place.
The first step in becoming wealthy is to quit using credit cards – of any type, for any reason.
1) Your credit card balances are rising while your income is decreasing.
2) You are only paying the minimum amounts required on your accounts, or maybe even less than the minimums.
3) You're juggling bills. For example, you apply for another credit card and use cash advances from it to pay an existing card.
4) You have more credit cards than a successful gambler has poker chips.
5) You are at or perilously near the limit on each of your credit cards.
6) You consistently charge more each month than you make in payments.
7) You are working overtime to keep up with your credit card payments.
8) You don't know how much you owe and really don't want to find out.
9) You have received phone calls or letters about delinquent bill payments.
10) You are using your credit card to buy necessities like food or gasoline.
11) Your credit cards are no longer used for the sake of convenience, but because you don't have money.
12) You are dipping into savings or your IRA to pay your monthly bills.
13) You are hiding the true cost of your purchases from your spouse.
14) You're playing the card game by signing up for every credit card that sends you an unsolicited offer.
15) You have just lost your job, or are fearful that you are about to, and are concerned about how you will pay all your bills.
4) Moral & Physical Hazards Don't Apply
Step 1) Sit down and cut up all of your credit cards – ALL OF THEM.
Step 2) List the balances for each card from LARGEST to SMALLEST and the minimum payment for each.
Step 3) Pay the minimums for each card on the list and 5 times the minimum for the smallest card balance.
Step 4) Repeat each month. Don't worry about paying off the debt with the highest interest rate first. This approach gives you some quick wins. It's like losing five pounds in the first week of a diet.
Step 5) When the smallest credit card has been paid off ROLLUP all the money you WERE paying on the smallest credit card and apply all of it to the next card on the list INCLUDING the minimum payment you were already making on the previous card. By the time that you get to your last credit card – which will be the one with the highest balance you will be putting huge chunks of money on the card each month. Before you know it – you will be debt free.
Step 6) When you are finally free of all of your credit cards – reward yourself. Take the next two months of payments you were using to pay off your last credit card and buy yourself something.
Step 7) After you reward yourself – it is time to get back to saving. ALL OF THE MONEY that you used to pay towards the credit cards – now goes into savings. You have a lot of ground to make up and this is a good way to get there.
I understand your initial reactions to most of this but once you start adopting some these guidelines you will begin to discover other avenues to begin to live within your means and begin to take the steps required to live a happy and wealthier life.
Reduce Housing Costs. Do you really need a pool in the backyard? Do you really need two extra bedrooms that are being use to store clutter and junk? People generally buy way more house than they need. Reducing your monthly mortgage payments by dropping the size of your house can put a lot more cash into your pocket.
Drop A Car, Gas, Maintenance, and Payments -- imagine the money you could save if you gave up one household car, or found other ways to commute and run errands. Or trade in your car on a two or three year old car to reduce your monthly car notes.
Get (Another) Job. You don't have to work nights and weekends forever, but if a part-time job gave you an extra $300 a month, that's $3,600 you can put toward debt this year.
Quit Your Vice. Your indulgences can add up fast. Giving up your smoking habit can save you thousands of dollars a year. Eating out can add up fast too – so brown bag your lunch and start cooking at home. It isn't convenient – but it's the financial smart thing to do.
Live moderately. Shifting priorities, and locations, can help downsize your lifestyle. .
Let the kids go public. According to the Council for American Private Education, the average cost of private elementary and high school is about $4,689 a year. You are already paying for public school in your annual school taxes – might as well get some bang for your buck. Don't think your child will learn as well as they would in a private school? How about taking some time out of your schedule to work with them at home – it's free and you will create a lot more with your child than just a smart kid.
Tap Your Crap. Garage sells, EBAY and a host of other avenues these days offer you outlets to get rid of all that crap you have accumulated over the years – and it may just generate a few extra bucks towards paying off debt.

Cinderella's Fairy Merry Christmas (Pictureback(R))
by Andrea Posner-Sanchez
No current Talk conversations about this book.
this book is written by Andrea Posner-Sanchez and was published in 2009 by Random House Disney. It is classified as a Fantasy. In Cinderella's Fairy Merry Christmas, Cinderella is dreaming of having the best Christmas ever. It is her first Christmas with the Prince and the first Christmas she has spent at the castle. Cinderella, Jaq, and Gus are having a little trouble with the decorations. However, Fairy Godmother comes to save the day. The four of them work together to make this Christmas perfect. As a result, Cinderellas dream of having the best Christmas ever with the prince comes true!
This book would be a great book for children from grades k-sixth. Especially, this book would be a good read for little girls. Even if the child could not read, the illustrations do a great job describing the story. Moreover I think the illustrations do a great job with pulling in the reader. They are very detailed, and realistic drawings. The story has a great meaning of teaching kids that gifts do not have to be big and fancy, gifts from the heart are what's important.

Will Cinderella finally have the Christmas of her dreams? Find out in this all-new, full-color storybook.

Eddie Cibrian & Leann Rimes: The New Brad & Angelina?TheMommyologist
Eddie Cibrian and Leann Rimes are taking their love affair to the next level and have become engaged. Rumors of an engagement have swirled for a while, so Leann Rimes announcing that Eddie Cibrian had proposed to her over the holidays really wasn't a huge shock.
Eddie Cibrian and Leann Rimes aren't exactly America's sweetheart couple, considering that Eddie was still married to then-wife, Brandi Glanville, when he and Leann started seeing each other.
Leann and Eddie now seem to be forming one big, happy family with Eddie and Glanville's kids, which begs the question, "Are Eddie Cibrian and Leann Rimes the new Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie?"
Despite the fact that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie hooked up while he was still married to Jennifer Aniston, many people had no hesitation fully accepting their relationship, and praising their efforts raising their six kids.
Leann Rimes is already being labeled a "home wrecker", and Brandi Glanville even deemed her unfit to raise her kids a few months ago. But honestly, how is Leann Rimes being a step-parent to Eddie Cibrian's kids any different than Brad Pitt accepting the kids Angelina Jolie already had as his own?
Will people slowly warm up to Eddie Cibrian and Leann Rimes? Will they become another couple loved by the public despite their infidelities, just like Brad and Angelina?

Cosby's Madeline Kahn Wages a Sobering Battle Against Ovarian Cancer
On Nov. 3, Kahn, who has nabbed a Tony, an Emmy and two Oscar nominations with her nasally twang and madcap humor, let everyone in on her painful secret. "During the past year, I have been undergoing aggressive treatment for ovarian cancer," she said in a statement. "It is my hope that I might raise awareness of this awful disease and hasten the day that an effective test can be discovered." Kahn went on to commend the work of the New York City-based Ovarian Cancer Research Fund, whose executive director, Jamie Boris, notes, "With ovarian cancer, there is no equivalent of a mammogram or Pap smear. Seventy-five percent of cases are detected late." Such was the case with Kahn's close pal Gilda Radner, who died of the disease in 1989.
Best known for her hilarious screen collaborations with Mel Brooks (Blazing Saddles, High Anxiety), Kahn is waging a determined fight. On Oct. 10, she married her longtime beau, attorney John Hansbury, 49. And the Cosby cast is hoping she'll return after the new year. "Her spirits are wonderful," says friend Eric Mendelsohn, who directed her in the upcoming film Judy Berlin. "Madeline is indomitable."

Yes, I'm a beginner, but I feel like the following problem is one I should be able to figure out.... alas, I can not.
I will be buying an Oberwerk 20x80 and an Oberwerk 8x42. Of course, I need to get a tripod for the biggie.
I'm 6'2", and most tripods are around 5". Will I have to bend over significantly to view from the tripod? If so, I don't think I can handle that. I've seen some tripods around 67", but still, that's shorter than I am, and with angle of the binos, it'll be a problem.
Do tall folks always use chairs with tripods?
Is the tripod adaptor so large that it actually provides the needed height?
Is it effective to get a tripod that can go very low, and use it while laying on the ground?
What am I missing here?
I'm hoping to get one for less than $100.
don't laugh at my me... (tripods)

A tall guy in our club who does a lot of bino observing uses tripods, and he gets underneath the binos by cranking up the center stalk. My sons and I, on the other hand, use a homemade tripod made out of 3 crutches (very sturdy/stable) and a Universal Astronomics parallelogram mount that positions the binos as high as anyone needs, and is a very comfortable way to observe. I don't know what you can get for $100 - maybe persue the used market.
Posted 22 August 2009 - 02:28 PM
I was going to suggest the Manfrotto 028,alas it's sure beyond your budget at the moment. I would save a little,you won't need to buy another tripod if you go for the 028.
Good luck in the search.

I have used several tripod mounted binos and have yet to find one that didn't kill my neck. I think about the only way to do it would be with a right angle diagonal or 45 degree diagonal so that you look down instead of up.
These days I prefer to lie down to use binos.
good luck

We really loved this soup! I used a can each of kidney beans and black beans. I did miss a little spice so added a little chili powder and one diced jalapeno. I also cheated a little by using lower fat chicken sausage. I can't say how much we love a rutabaga, I always sub them for potato in soups and stews, my son thinks they're yellow potatos! Definately comfort food.
My family loved this soup. I went with what I had on hand, so I used about 1/4 of the sausage(turkey sausage), and 1/3 of the tomato paste. I skipped the beans and added extra potatoes. This is easy and is full of flavour. Thanks for the recipe.
A great recipe for a cold day! I made a couple of changes - only because I did not have the ingredients; I used a red pepper instead of a green pepper & I did not have any celery, so I added a leek instead. It was very tasty and a change from spicy soups - the sausage made it a one pot meal. I served it with French bread. A keeper, I don't know why it has not been reviewed before now!

Ride- and car-share services are becoming more popular with millennials, yet a new study finds the group is finally warming up to ownership. » Read More
As I walk around the New York Auto Show and talk with executives from GM, Toyota, and Chrysler there is one question you hear over and over: Are buyers actually coming back into showrooms?
The first time you see the new PUMA (Personal Urban Mobility and Accessibility) 2 seat ride, you think to yourself, "well, that's pretty cool."
Ford rose 16 percent yesterday after reducing its debt by $10 billion and had plenty of options activity along the way.
Remember when Ford shares touched $1.01 a few months back and people were speculating about when the troubled automaker was "forced" into bankruptcy? Those days seem like a distant memory.
In the week since President Obama's Auto Task Force decided GM and Chrysler were not viable, much of the focus has been on the future of GM, who runs the company, and how the country can save its largest auto maker.
Shares of Mitsubishi Motors jumped to a three-month high on Friday after a newspaper said the automaker would double its annual production capacity target for electric cars in the business year to March 2012.
With members of President Obama's Auto Task Force hitting the ground in Detroit, the re-structuring of General Motors kicks into gear. Monday in Washington may have been all about justifying and selling the government calling the shots at GM, but Tuesday in Detroit is when the president's people get to work. No wonder critics are now saying GM now stands for Government Motors, not General Motors. So what happens next?
If you thought March 31 would be the day the government would make a final pronouncement on GM and Chrysler, it's time to think again.
Today, Toyota takes the wraps off the new Prius and many in the auto industry will be watching to see if it can remain king of the hybrid hill.
This morning the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety released a new rating system for the strength of roofs for SUV's. These ratings highlight an area that is critical to whether passengers in an SUV will survive a rollover crash accident.
Amid all the hoopla about today's launch of the Tata Nano was a question and answer about when the $2,500 micro car might be on sales in the U.S. Tata CEO Ratan Tata said that it is conceivable his company could modify a European version of the Nano to meet U.S. safety standards within three years
Talk about a strange juxtaposition. On the same day Rolls Royce is bringing its new "Baby Rolls" to New York, the world's least expensive, "mass market" car is rolling out in India. The Tata Nano and Rolls Royce 200 EX. One will cost roughly $2,500, the other will be at least 100 times more expensive.
A very important program—the TALF—is off to a slow start due to political risks surrounding the program.
Life in limbo is costing GM and Chrysler. New numbers show the residual values of GM and Chrysler cars have taken a hit. Meanwhile, another survey of car buyers shows a sizable drop in the percentage of buyers who are considering buying a GM or Chrysler.
The announcement by the Treasury Department that it will provide up to $5 Billion in federal aid is the next move by President Obama's auto task force to help the auto industry avoid a collapse.
What a difference a week makes. The combination of a market bounce, favorable news from GM, and reports of Ford planning to offer a $2.95 Billion in TALF-related bonds have sent shares of Ford and GM surging in the last week.
Congress is once again kicking around the idea of giving people an incentive to trade in their old car or truck for a newer, more fuel efficient model. It's an idea that has sparked demand for new cars in other countries around the world. And frankly, it is one of the few incentive programs that is a win/win situation.
Two weeks before the deadline for President Obama's Auto Task Force to decide whether or not to lend Chrysler, GM and suppliers billions more in Federal aid, Chrysler CEO is very clear: he needs a decision.
After almost a month of virtual silence by nearly everyone involved in the auto bailout talks, the primary players are starting to talk.
For pure "car lovers", the re-birth of the Chevy Camaro is like an early Christmas gift. A modern day muscle car (base sticker $22,995) built for people who live for the thrill of the drive. But...

"Authenticity Is As Rare As A Unicorn In Today's Politically-Motivated Markets"
Submitted by Ben Hunt via Salient Partners' Epsilon Theory blog,
[Jeremiah and Bear Claw hunt elk]
Wind's right, but he'll just run soon as we step out of these trees.
Bear Claw:
Trick to it. Walk out on this side of your horse.
What if he sees our feet?
Bear Claw:
Elk don't know how many feet a horse has!
– "Jeremiah Johnson" (1972)
In war, truth is the first casualty.
– Aeschylus (525 – 456 BC)
I honestly believe that people of my generation despise authenticity, mostly because they're all so envious of it.
– Chuck Klosterman, "Killing Yourself to Live: 85% of a True Story" (2005)
I began my time as Chairman with the goal of increasing the transparency of the Federal Reserve, and of monetary policy in particular. In response to a financial crisis and a deep recession, the Fed's monetary policy communications have proved far more important and have evolved in different ways than I would have envisioned eight years ago.
– Ben Bernanke, "Communication and Monetary Policy" (Nov. 19, 2013)
The stalking horse is a hunting technique that goes back thousands of years, where a hunter finds it much easier to get a drop on wild game by hiding behind an animal or a representation of an animal that the prey finds more familiar in its natural environment than a human. My favorite description of how the stalking horse technique works comes from the 1972 Robert Redford movie, "Jeremiah Johnson", where the old trapper Bear Claw patiently explains to newbie trapper Jeremiah that they can walk behind their horses to get a good shot because "elk don't know how many feet a horse has". Of course Bear Claw is right, and he and Jeremiah eat well that night.
Today's markets are chock-full of stalking horses, not for something as trivial as setting up a hostile takeover (which is how the phrase has traditionally been used in investment circles), but for setting up politically-driven macro-economic goals. Whether it's the use of words to create a representation of a stalking horse or a direct investment in a security to turn it into a stalking horse, governments today are more manipulative (and I mean that in the technical sense of the word) than at any time since the 1930's. Very little is as it seems in modern markets.
And yes, we're the elk.
Here's a great example of what I mean. This past Wednesday the WSJ published an article titled "China Plays a Big Role as US Treasury Yields Fall", pointing out that the Chinese government bought US Treasuries at the fastest pace in the first five months of 2014 than at any point since this data started being collected more than 30 years ago. China added $107 billion to its Treasury holdings over these five months, almost 10% of its total Treasury holdings of $1.27 trillion, which is itself about 10% of the total $12 trillion US Treasury market. As the article points out, these massive purchases go a long way towards explaining "the mysterious US bond rally of 2014", where, for example, yields on the 10-year note fell from 3% at the end of 2013 to about 2.5% over this five month period, despite widespread expectations at the start of the year by both market savants and investor public opinion that rates were on a one-way path up, up, and away.
The reason I characterize China's purchases as a stalking horse rests on both the meaning of the purchases for the Chinese government and the perception of the purchases by market participants.
China is not buying US Treasuries for the same reasons that, say, PIMCO buys US Treasuries. China is not an economic buyer of US Treasuries, making an asset allocation decision based on some evaluation of fundamental global growth prospects. No, China is a strategic buyer of US Treasuries, purchasing US dollar-denominated assets in order to weaken its own currency and spur domestic growth by boosting exports. I've written about this sea change in Chinese monetary policy a lot (here, here, and here), and what we are seeing in China's acceleration of US Treasury purchases is part and parcel of this existential political calculus and its challenge to the Western "rules" of global economics.
What's really interesting to me – and this gets to the market perception question – is that this "explanation" of the 2014 US bond rally is just now being promulgated by one of the major media arbiters of taste. I mean, China's Treasury purchases are no secret. The data is published monthly with about a 6-week delay. In April (data released more than a month ago) China bought more Treasuries than the US Fed, but there was hardly a peep about it in any major financial media outlet. What's interesting about the perception by market participants of China's accelerated Treasury purchases is that there was essentially NO perception of these purchases as an explanation of falling rates. It's as if China were invisible or something, which, of course, is EXACTLY how China wished to be perceived in these actions. The market's inability to recognize that China was buying massive amounts of US Treasuries to weaken the yuan is exactly like the elk herd's inability to recognize that Jeremiah Johnson was standing on the other side of his horse to get a cleaner shot. The market has access to all the data, just like the elk can see how many feet are under Jeremiah's horse. We see six feet under the horse, but we can't comprehend the meaning of six feet under a horse. This is the secret of the stalking horse.
To be clear, I'm NOT saying that there is some grand conspiracy between financial media and China to keep their actions and motives hush-hush. Even if, to use a purely hypothetical thought experiment, Rupert Murdoch were perfectly willing to carry Beijing's water to the ends of the Earth, the simple truth is that the Chinese regime doesn't need to resort to these Citizen Kane tactics to carry out a stalking horse operation.
Also to be clear, I'm NOT saying that China's Treasury purchases are the only reason for falling rates or that there are no fundamental economic reasons for continued strength in global bond markets. On the contrary, I'm firmly in the camp that global growth is structurally challenged, miserable as far as the eye can see, and that Western monetary policy is part of the problem, not the solution.
What I'm saying is that in the Golden Age of the Central Banker it is impossible to distinguish fundamental economic reasons for asset class price movements from politically-driven strategic reasons. Are European sovereign bonds so strong over the past few months because growth remains pathetically weak or because Draghi is promising his own version of QE? Answer: yes.
What I'm saying is that:
- Just as the elk is hard-wired to trust a horse standing in a field no matter how many legs it has, so are we wired to watch stocks go up and down and think about fundamental economic explanations for market outcomes no matter how many signals exist that non-economic game-players are really calling the shots.
- Government actors, from the Fed to the ECB to the White House to the Chinese Politburo, understand how we are wired and strategically use that understanding to further political goals such as market stability (US) and trade regime change (China). They stand behind their horses – stocks and bonds and fundamental economic explanations – in order to hunt down their true quarry without spooking anyone.
Once you start thinking about what's happening in markets and the world as an inextricable weave of fundamental events and political efforts to shape our interpretation of those events to achieve a political end, you start to see stalking horses everywhere. A Fed QE program ostensibly to reduce unemployment and help Main Street? Stalking horse. A regulatory Big Data program ostensibly to identify brokers who churn accounts? Stalking horse. A Chinese banking program ostensibly to liberalize currency exchange rates? Stalking horse.
And it's not just actual programs or actual market behaviors like the Chinese purchase of US Treasuries. When words are used for strategic effect rather than a genuine transmission of information you create a virtual stalking horse. This, of course, describes every use of words by every politician and every central banker. This is what Bernanke and Yellen and Draghi and Abe and Obama and Merkel mean when they refer to communication policy. Communication policy is the strategic use of words to shape perceptions and expectations. It's a focus on how something is said as opposed to what is described. It's a focus on form rather than content, on truthiness rather than truth. It's why authenticity is as rare as a unicorn in the public world today.
Look, I understand why politicians and bankers have completely abandoned authenticity, an uncommon quality even in the best of times. The Great Recession was a near-death experience for the global economy, and slamming a syringe of adrenaline into the patient's heart – which was basically what QE 1 did – doesn't happen without long-term side-effects. To switch the metaphor around a bit, this was a war to preserve the System, and as Aeschylus said 2,500 years ago, the first casualty of war is truth. I really don't think Bernanke or Draghi came into office thinking that their public statements would become the most powerful weapon in their arsenal, or that they could train markets to respond so positively to words presented strategically for effect, but there you have it. This is what worked. This is how the war was won.
So … I understand why politicians and bankers have adopted a stalking horse technique to shape market expectations and behaviors, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. And while I am happy to condone the use of emergency powers to win a war and save the world, I am not at all comfortable with their continued use once the crisis is over. Unfortunately, I believe that is exactly what has happened, that "strategic communication policy" has mutated from an emergency measure designed to prevent an economic collapse into a standard bureaucratic process designed to maintain financial stability. Is this banal assumption and routinization of power a natural bureaucratic response to a crisis, something we also saw in the aftermath of the Great Depression? Yes, but I've got examples going the other way, too. Lincoln suspended habeas corpus in 1861, and good for him. But in early 1866 – less than a year after Lee's surrender at Appomattox – the US government stood down and restored Constitutional protections. I am really hard-pressed to understand how the exigencies of recovery from the Great Recession, now more than 5 years on, are somehow more deserving of ongoing emergency policies than the immediate aftermath of the freakin' Civil War.
Wait a second, Ben. Are you seriously equating the government's use of "strategic communications" to a suspension of Constitutional protections? Doesn't that seem a tad over the top? Yes I am, and no I don't think so. The bedrock assumption of limited, representative government is that we, the people have an inalienable right to make an informed decision about who will make policy decisions on our behalf. Of course this is an imperfect process, and of course the information we use to make these decisions will be mediated and skewed by all sorts of competing interests. But it makes a big difference if the government itself is fully committed to mediating and skewing this information. And it makes all the difference in the world if relatively apolitical institutions like the Fed and various regulatory authorities – institutions which have been granted a vast array of powers over the years precisely because they have been viewed as relatively apolitical – now embrace the highly political act of mediating and skewing information in service to their own particular visions of stability and status quo preservation. This is the danger of strategic communication policy. This is the price we pay for a loss of authenticity within our most important institutions.
Whew! Okay, I'll climb down from the soap box for now. What is the practical investment adaptation to all this, where historical market patterns based on economic principles can and will be turned on their heads by government "hunters" determined to capture their non-economic goals? I believe that now, more than ever, a portfolio based on what I call profound agnosticism is in order. It's not easy to admit that your crystal ball is broken, that you have no idea what will happen next or when it will happen, but that's the required mind-set, I think. Importantly, however, this mind-set does not require hiding under a rock or going to cash or playing defense all the time. Is the Golden Age of the Central Banker a time for investment survivors rather than investment heroes? Absolutely. But as I'll discuss in Epsilon Theory notes over the next few weeks, a wily elk can still do pretty well for himself if he recognizes the hunters' games and sticks to the ground he knows. If you're not already a subscriber, I hope you join the herd.
In closing, I thought I'd share one more illustration from the 14th century "Book of the Hunt". Here we see a method of trapping wolves that involves a long circular corridor with a one-way door forming a concentric circle around a holding pen where the bait (a live sheep and a blood trail source) is placed. It's important to use the concentric lay-out for three reasons. First, the circular outer wall is hard for the wolf to escape if he gets wise to the trap, and the circular inner wall keeps the live bait … alive. Second, wolves expect to hunt and track their prey. By establishing a longer trail that must be navigated successfully the wolf becomes more committed to the trap the farther he goes. Third and most importantly, the design prevents the wolves from seeing each other until they get to the end of the blood trail, at which point it's too late to escape what they now know is a trap.
In many respects this medieval wolf trap is an even more effective metaphor for modern markets and the Narrative constructions of politicians and bankers than the stalking horse. So for all you investors and allocators who see yourselves as solitary wolves rather than as an elk or some other herd animal, just remember that these hunters have a plan for you, too. You can learn a lot from an old book …

"lincoln suspended habeas corpus, and good for him"
One of the most egregious violations of the consitution, that other presidents use as a precedent does not warrant a "good for him"
Fuck off
Good thing there are no 1999-2001, 2006-2008 type bubbles or these fiends might exploit it. Whoops, never mind, just found a tiny, tiny bubble:
I Report, You Decide: PBYI up Almost 200% after the Market Close on $0.00 in Sales
That is one big pile of shit.

you just need the same pair of sunglasses they have
Something that doesn't exist isn't rare. And our markets are like unicorns.
Well, you can make things APPEAR real with bullshit. Wouldn't have religion or politics without it.
Bullshit, it's not just for Deities anymore.
that is what central bwankers seek ...not truthiness (good word that)
and after 22 bailouts of the European banking bum system to show us 22 times how completely incompetent they are ..we have stability
until next time.. soon ...a 23rd failure to provide stability ...gotta love central bwankers ..gotta laugh ...gotta give us a break from these total aholes
Nuke if from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.
I enjoyed the post -- the metaphors work very well.
I am a lone wolf. I never heard of the wolf trap.. thank you making me learn something new today.
Shouldn't the rainbow be coming out of the other end of that unicorn?
Beautiful artwork! In my ignorance i've never come across Phoebus, so thank you.
The era of lies and confusion, the stalking horse analogy might well be extended to every sphere of human action and interaction. The Hindu belief that we are experiencing Kali Yuga seems well justified.
That was a great article. I really like the way this guy writes. He foreshadowed a style of thinking which will inform the as-yet-to-be-written great philosophical works of the 21st Century, viz. the phenomenology of complex systems and their ontological reduction to 'equipment' for Dasein. To accomplish this work it is necessary to learn to see, beyond the appearances, the presence of something which does not itself appear but is, in a manner that is difficult to describe, "brougt forth" by the appearances. Of course in so doing the apearances no longer conceal anything; they have become ontologically reduced, i.e. the stalking horse is exposed. The real-life counterpart to this ontological reduction is the disappearance of pretense from the world and the return of authenticity, but this also means that the raw forces and motivations come to the fore, naked and gigantic. It is like the reduction of economic war to actual war (a reduction which the real-life situation will no doubt involve). When a moment like that occurs the pretenses and concealed motivations of strategic buying must give way to open hostilities. In general, we can say that the return of authenticity always involves the reduction of symbol to fact; and while no historical circumsatnce is entirely repeatable or foreseeable, such reductions do follow general rules which can be discerned and after a fashion "read off" from the materials of history. The Phenomenology of Markets will be one of the great books which the present century will write; one of a constellation of such books that will present themselves just as the highly cyphered world we inhabit recidivates into a world of great personalities and forces.
Federal Reserve is as transparent as a lead brick. First rule of the Federal Reserve, never tell the truth of the monetary ponzi.
Right, but they leave a trail like army ants. You can see where they are going.
I prefer to think of them as slugs, you can see the slimey trail they leave behind. What the world needs is one GIANT salt shaker.
A series of unfortunate events has revealed to me the sheer depth of this charade. The system, the players, the events unfolding around the globe, even this website, are a carefully modelled act, that I am now convinced has been planned months if not years in advance. It is impossible for the bazaar, unimaginable circumstances to unfold with the scripted structure as they have. It is a linear as a bullet passing though the natural chaotic undulations to which the rest of the universe is forced to abide.
Through control of mass media and global finance a shell game of epic proportions has been developed. Mass murder in far away lands, massive fortunes created over night, disappearing planes, followed by planes flying though hot war zones?? Unexplained privatized data banks built and used with ominous intent WTF?! The level of systemic control is mind boggling, yet perfectly timed!! Fuck this. We are being herded right into their latest idea of Eden. Fuck this.
I need away from this shit, it is not healthy. I was prepared to accept some negative backlash from allowing myself to consider this man made tragedy, but it has become too much. I'm sure it's apparent to many that I have lost my mind, but now it has dawned on me as well.
Tyler's I need you to do me a solid. I need my account to be blocked, deleted, WETF you can do. This shit has put me off my rocker but I do not have the strength to walk away. This is a honest request. I need to be expelled from this.
Not years, just microseconds. Same difference, for humans. Welcome to the high frequency mindfuck machine. Brought to you in part by the success of the Creel committee.
I hope you find some peace, safe travels.
Enjoy the punchline. It's a good one I hear. :)
A negaholic? I feel for you brother.
I read ZH for the shock factor, for tidbits I wasn't aware of. But I always arise from my seat, walk outside, inhale deeply and look around at the corn, the beans, the peppers, or in another season, the turning leaves, the snow. Or I just go take a walk and talk to someone. People are the solution.
Oh buddy.... People are not the solution, they are the problem. The most important part of the equation. So few have something to add, most only subtract. Why do you think the big push to conglomerate?
This whole clusterfuk will take everyone with it, those who don't know, and those who don't know that they don't know alike.
Perhaps send a PM to Tyler and request deactivation?

Howard Schmidt
Wolff, Josephine, Newsweek
Byline: Josephine Wolff
Hackers and spies have launched attacks on vital computer systems in recent months. White House cyber-security coordinator Howard Schmidt on what it all means.
When you see what makes it onto the evening news, would you say the worry about U.S. vulnerability to cyberattack is exaggerated? Or are we not worried enough?
I would say it's exaggerated. Things have to be taken in perspective, and if you look at the billions of transactions that take place online every day, whether it's e-commerce [or] watching online videos [or] online banking, there's a tremendous amount of really wonderful, rich robust things that are taking place. But like anything else, the things that make the news are the things that aren't working well.
In an interview with Wired, you said you didn't think it was "realistic" for hackers to get into the U.S. power grid. But in light of the successful attacks we've seen recently against well-protected targets, how confident are you?
There are no absolutes in security--we've seen that in the history of humankind.Is there potential for somebody to get into some segment of the grid? Absolutely. We've seen that, we've reported it, we've had law enforcement investigating it. Catastrophic failure is still the part that I don't believe is likely, and anybody who intends to try to do that is probably going to meet more resistance than they're prepared for.
Hundreds of Internet activists recently mounted cyberattacks on companies like MasterCard and Amazon because they had ended their affiliation with WikiLeaks. How dangerous could this kind of action be? …

New requirements for solar farms could be coming to Riverhead Town.
Foreseeing the megawatts of solar energy to come in the area, PSEG Long Island and the Long Island Power Authority are interested in building an electrical substation at the town-owned Enterprise Park at Calverton.
PSEG Long Island spokesman Jeffrey Weir confirmed in an interview that the company is interested in the EPCAL site, and according to Councilman George Gabrielsen, officials from PSEG/LIPA have asked permission to go on the site and take soil samples — something the town is willing to let them do.
The Riverhead Town Board discussed a plan to double the size of a proposed energy park at the Enterprise Park at Calverton and to prepare a new request for proposals from energy companies during Thursday's work session.
The board has already designated a 90-acre site at the southwest portion of the property, inside the inactive western runway, for an energy park that would attract solar and other types of energy providers and the Long Island Power Authority has selected Hecate Energy to build a solar farm at EPCAL. LIPA is negotiating a power purchase agreement with Hecate Energy.
Councilman George Gabrielsen said there has been tremendous interest from other solar and energy companies to build at EPCAL, which is why the town is considering adding an additional 94 acres to the west of the western runway.
The town also can lease about 51 acres on the western runway for solar projects, he said.
Board members also discussed filling two vacancies on the Industrial Development Agency and whether the Town Board should issue a resolution urging the IDA to only give tax abatements at EPCAL and downtown.
To read a recap of News-Review reporter Tim Gannon's live blog of the meeting, click below.
The Riverhead Town Board held a public hearing Tuesday that ran for almost three hours.
The subject was a proposal to allow the town highway department to plow snow on certain private roads, as it has done in the past, even though state law prohibits it. (more…)
One concerned grandmother went before the school board Tuesday night, railing against what she called a "secretive" decision to install a solar panel plant on a sod farm across the street from the district middle school.
Michelle Sterling of Shoreham said she was disgusted by the Town of Brookhaven, which she claimed approved the sod farm solar plant without informing residents or the district.
Residents have complained to other boards in recent months: namely Brookhaven Town Board and Brookhaven Planning Board. The latter unanimously approved plans for the project last month, despite much opposition from neighbors, according to Newsday.
"We went by the codes," Planning Board Chairman Vincent E. Pascale told the paper. "We did all our checking. We took facts from factual sources.
Board president William McGrath said last week that the Shoreham-Wading River Board of Education was also concerned by the circumstances around the approval of the installation and said the district was "looking into it."
Ms. Sterling went on to claim that the solar panels would cast radiation onto the district's students and said "studies" couldn't prove that the solar panels wouldn't cause cancer.
"Our children are certainly not going to be the guinea pigs to find out," she said. The board didn't comment on those claims.
The Riverhead Town Planning Board approved a preliminary site plan at its meeting last Thursday proposing a solar farm with roughly 30,000 panels on an area of Calverton farmland. (more…)
Riverhead Town can either seek a $6 million "bridge loan" or seek a waiver from the state's two-percent tax cap law — two options the town is considering in light of a potential 12.5 percent tax hike for 2015, Supervisor Sean Walter said at Thursday's Town Board work session. (more…)

The top ten smartwatches, as reviewed by Digital Trends' experts.
Given the popularity and sheer convenience of smartphones and wristwatches, it was only a matter of time before the two intersected. The Kickstarter-fueled Pebble was one of the first to land on the scene among so-so reviews in 2013, with the likes of Google and Samsung following in suit. However, not all smartwatches are created equal. Some excel in exterior design and internal hardware, while others base their appeal on integrated software and robust app capabilities. Thankfully, the selection below highlights the best of them based on our expert reviews.
