The Market Says CYA LTRO To Yesterday's Negativity
Via Peter Tchir of TF Market Advisors,
The market is back to being excited and bullish.
Yesterday's announcement out of Europe was underwhelming, but no one cares as a Greek PSI announcement is expected any moment. It will be interesting to finally find out how many bonds sign on at the time of the agreement and who the potential holdouts are.
More importantly, once again LTRO is the talk of the town. Talk is that the demand will be €1 trillion or more (as ZeroHedge discussed here first over two weeks ago). It will be interesting to see if the number approaches that or is far smaller. I continue to believe that banks are using it to prefund redemptions and not as cheap financing to start a new round of asset gathering. All the talk about the "carry" trade makes it sound like something new that the banks have just figured out, when it is the exact trade that got them in trouble in the first place. Why did banks sell naked CDS on companies and countries (write protection)? Because they got carry with no funding worries.
At least on LTRO we will get a definitive answer soon. How much money do the banks need to pre-fund redemption, how much will they take down to have money available for a rainy day, and most importantly, how much do they take down to invest in new assets?
LTRO without a doubt has been positive for bank funding costs. It is letting them redeem existing bonds as they come due and possibly even helping them opportunistically retire other debt at a discount. Retiring bonds at a discount is an increase to earnings that won't do much for share price, but does increase "retained capital" so helps the capital ratio of banks. Buying back subordinated debt is also "capital" enhancing, as the discount comes back as capital. Retiring Tier I or other "quasi debt" that counted as capital in the first place is less obvious. That level of capital is reduced while enhancing equity, so some ratios will improve, others may get worse. In any case all of these activities do subordinate any remaining debt. All the outstanding debt is subordinated to the LTRO since it is secured financing. Right now, in the glow of LTRO, no one cares, but any residual sub debt should be viewed very carefully as it is below the depositors, below the LTRO, below the ECB in general, and below senior unsecured debt. And in the weird world of Europe, somehow they seem to want to treat debt with less than a year to maturity as "safer" than longer dated debt.
I am told I am wrong, at least in part because "how could sovereign debt be trading so well if it wasn't for the LTRO and carry trade"?
Well, this is the 3rd time in less than a year that Italian 10 year bond yields have improved by 125 bps or more in a short period of time. The first such move tighter was after revised EFSF was announced and Italy was added to the SMP. The second such move was after the "Grand Plan" was announced. The third time was late in the year after LTRO and some better auctions. The point is that moves of 125 bps aren't that uncommon and aren't a clear sign that LTRO is working. What is clear is that the markets are thin, easily manipulated, or scared into big moves, but once the catalyst for that move is gone (ECB gets tired of buying, nothing from Grand Plan works, or LTRO is about prefunding debt not buying more bonds) the market has returned to focusing on deteriorating fundamentals.
I have been told that the Credit Index Trading 101 piece is scarily accurate about how the credit markets trade. If you haven't read it, I recommend it. It is partially tongue in cheek but will help you understand why you need to be careful when looking at moves in the credit markets.
In the meantime the beat goes on in ETF land. HY ETF's are on target to have received $4 billion by the end of this week. The premium is actually reasonable given the strength in the underlying market, but I remain dubious that there is much upside left in the portfolio as too many of the bonds generating the yield have real problems, another group of bonds trades at yields that are hard for "real" money to justify buying, and the final group of bonds have convexity that is bordering on horrific.
The indicated yield of MUB is now below the 30 year treasury yield. Clearly not the entire MUB portfolio is 30 year debt, but this is worth watching. The argument that muni's, even with their tax advantage are trading wider than treasuries is disappearing. It is a very illiquid market, so maybe the premium is justified, but paying more than 2.5% above NAV for muni's seems like a bad idea. The funds have been attracting fresh money, but nowhere near as quickly as the high yield ETF's.
The CDS indices remain strong and aren't trading extremely rich, showing that single names have been performing in line with them.
Listening to the "chatter" you would think the market is on fire, yet S&P is barely up in almost 2 weeks (it closed 1308 on the 18th). For the past couple of weeks, fading rallies has been working well, and I don't see that changing as more and more people become convinced that "Europe is priced in" and ignore that strong earnings were priced in and aren't really materializing.

Armada of forex traders will take care of everything. EURUSD soon at 1.0000... 0.5000 and then 0.0001
Not to mention gold at 2000 by summer. Interestingly enough there might be some more liquidity from BoJ on the roll.
The market is back to being excited and bullish.
LOL the markets are always excited and bullish. ALWAYS. REGARDLESS OF FACTS.
we'll make the facts up as we go along.
"priced into the market" Oh, like in 2008? or 29? or 87?
Why would you expect anyone to be negative when the heroine is free? That basically sums it all up. Black markets are the only free or unmanipulated markets anymore.
The s&p might be close to unch..but not the euro...big move up
And that's why the market is "excited and bullish"...and it is a rip roaring start obviously. The Euro represents nothing less than the total economic dismantling of "Europe." to date "it's going great!" cuz Germany is recovering while calling everyone else bad names. Once this hits France however...and it will...that will be the end. SMOKE 'EM IF YOU GOT 'EM!
This hasn't been a "market" for quite some time Peter.
"The market is back to being excited and bullish"
This never ending grind up where every piece of news is either" priced in" or bullish ,will end in a bad way. My guess is the top will be in when the over priced IPO Buttbook comes public.
Yes we blew ourselves up with this carry trade and we really learned our lesson this time....so back to more of the same everyone...except much more this time? Sounds good.
This is why they hire young traders. The youngins do not remember the last market blow up so it is much easier to convince them that continuation on the old route works. Oh yeah, else you lose your job.
So the Danish banking crisis is getting worse and Dexia is downgraded...how can a bankrupt nationalized bank be downgraded any further than junk...I suppose if the nations that "nationalized" it are failing...
period: weekly
similar chart. fade in late Feb?
There is no market. It's a game of opaque monopoly, where CB will print money to prevent any systemic collapse. And a silent purge spreads throughout the global economy.
Already millions of youth across Europe have been purged Existenz. Relegated to a lost decade. Moreso, in Greece, and Spain.
The rungs on the ladder to the middle class has been severed. There is no longer social, or financial upward mobility. One is stuck;frozen in a lost decade, or two.
The elite still thrive for they have access and control of the rules to the game, and can shape it to their advantage and will.
The game of monopoly, by definition, is a game to control 99%.
Gottanotha Swan for ya, bitchez! Guess what: we only stock one color of swan around here. See bolded text at bottom. Naval protection of Chinese territorial expansion....ooooh.....kkkkkk.....I bet we don't have any drones THERE.....LOL...what do Romney and Gingrich say to this one.....
NHK News Japan
China possibly drilling for gas in East China Sea
Flames have been spotted shooting out of a drilling rig in a gas field in the East China Sea, where Japan and China have been discussing joint development.
NHK shot aerial footage last Thursday of the Kashi gas field, or Tianwaitian in Chinese, which lies near the Japan-China median line that separates the 2 countries' exclusive economic zones.
In the footage, men can be seen working on the Chinese-built rig.
Japan and China agreed in June 2008 to begin discussions for joint development of the area.
But in January of the following year, waters around the gas field turned brown, suggesting that China was developing it on its own.
A Japanese veteran oil and gas engineer says he cannot tell whether the Chinese are in a production stage, but the flames and smoke indicate they may be burning natural gas, and that they're continuing development on their own.
Japan's Foreign Ministry has lodged a protest with the Chinese government, saying that China's unilateral development is unacceptable as the 2 countries have yet to agree on their maritime boundary.
China has countered that it was exercising its inherent right to development.
There are multiple natural gas fields near the median line that separates Japan and China's exclusive economic zones in the East China Sea, about 400 kilometers northwest of Okinawa.
The Kashi gas field, or Tianwaitian in Chinese, and the Shirakaba gas field, or Chunxiao in Chinese, lie on the Chinese side of the line. China has been developing them since around 2003.
In 2005, Japan asked China if they could jointly develop 4 of the gas fields in the area.
In 2008, the 2 governments agreed on joint development of 2 areas, including the area that contains the Shirakaba gas field.
They also agreed to discuss joint development of other areas.
But negotiations stalled in 2010 after a Chinese fishing boat rammed into Japanese Coast Guard patrol vessels off Japan's Senkaku Islands.
Yokohama City University Professor Susumu Yabuki says China's aim is not only to secure resources, but also to build a structure near the median line, have the navy protect it, and expand its effective control over regional waters.
Yabuki says the Japanese government must restart negotiations as soon as possible to determine China's true intentions.

"The market is back to being excited and bullish"
Was this written by the NAR?
I recall saying the more screwed up things get the more shit they'll just pull out of their asses and create new shit out of nowhere.
Just like when everyone said the EU can't print. Well those digital zeros are flying off the EU's diskdrives like hot cakes right now.
They'll do anything to stay in power and keep us suppressed. I really think they've gone to far this time and there is no turning back and regrets will be on their faces when everyone realizes we need to get rid of them. Forever.

Too Much of a Good Thing Makes Benign Nitrogen a Triple Threat
Published: December 10, 1996
(Page 3 of 3)
Still, there are some signs. Ill effects are being detected in a number of American estuaries, the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration reported last week in the first of a series of new studies on the effects of nutrients like nitrogen on American coastal waters. The effects so far are limited, however, said Dr. Suzanne Bricker, a main author of the study. While blooms of toxic algae are increasing in frequency and duration along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts, she said, oxygen depletion affecting about half the estuaries covers a small area and is limited to the summer months. She also said sea grasses had died back in some areas.
In the long term, Dr. Schlesinger said, the threat to estuaries is ''very serious,'' not least because they are ''the most productive fisheries in the world.''
One exception to the limited extent of coastal oxygen depletion is what scientists call ''the dead zone,'' a 7,000-square-mile area off the Louisiana coast where in the summer there is too little oxygen on the sea floor to sustain life.
Scientists believe it has been created mainly by the runoff of fertilizer from Midwestern farms in the upper Mississippi River drainage. The dead zone grew substantially after the pulse of runoff caused by the 1993 Mississippi floods. But sediment records indicate that the problem has also become worse since the 1950's, said Dr. Don Boesch, a coastal ecologist with the University of Maryland. While data on the problem are inadequate, he said, scientists believe it has probably depressed valuable shrimp populations.
The report to be published in Ecological Issues says that about 30 million metric tons of nitric oxide are emitted into the atmosphere each year by the burning of fossil fuels and forests and by conversion from fertilizer by soil microbes. The result in many regions, it says, is increased smog and acid rain.
The paper also says that atmospheric concentrations of nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas and destroyer of ozone, are increasing by 2 to 3 percent a decade as a result of several ''human driven'' sources, including manufacturing and forest burning. Dr. Schimel said any ''massive increase'' in nitrous oxide was ''something we should be nervous about in the future,'' not least because it persists in the atmosphere for hundreds of years. Presently, he said, nitrous oxide contributes about a quarter as much to global warming as carbon dioxide.
The pace of nitrogen buildup is likely to accelerate, the study says. If it does, some scientists fear, many ecosystems could become saturated with nitrogen, increasing environmental damage, and nitrous oxide could move to the fore as a cause of planetary warming.
What might be done? The problem is so newly appreciated, said Dr. Howarth, that attention has yet to focus on solutions. More efficient use of fertilizer might help, he said, as might more efficient combustion engines. At least one company, Monsanto, is investigating the possibility of genetically engineering crops that use less fertilizer.
''I'm sure,'' Dr. Howarth said, ''that there are thousands more creative things'' that can be done, adding: ''If we get the best agricultural scientists and engineers focusing on the problem, I'm sure we can do better.''
Photo: In an experiment by Dr. David Tilman on plant growth in Cedar Creek, Minn., the darker plots are vegetation receiving nitrogen supplements. (Richard Inouye) (pg. C12) Diagram: ''Humans Alter Nitrogen Balance'' In nature, nitrogen in forms usable by living things is scarce; most of it is in an inert gaseous form, N2 (top). Natural processes (left) do turn it into usable ammonium, ammoniate salts, nitrates and nitrites. The bulk of the work is done by nitrogen-fixing plants, like legumes, which have bacteria on their root nodes that can pull nitrogen from the air; lightning hitting the air accounts for a fraction. Nitrogen taken up by plants is recycled through the soil by decay. Human activities (right) have significantly increased the supply of usable nitrogen. One big change was the systematic cultivation of legumes. An even bigger shift was the raising of more and more cattle, whose manure feeds ammonia into the air. Chemical processes to extract nitrogen from air in huge amounts and turn it into fertilzer eventually created the Green Revolution: the raising of enormous quantities of crops, like corn. Excess nitrogen leaching out of soil into ground water and rivers damages coastal estuaries. The growth of some plants is greatly stimulated by nitrogen; others are killed by an overload. The supply released by human intervention is about as great as what exists in the natural world. (Source: Dr. David Tilman/University of Minnesota; Illustration by Michael Rothman) (pg. C1)

Khartoum — A Sudanese university student who was acquitted by a military court of having links with a rebel group has been expelled from the University of Khartoum, following "his long absence".
Saeed Ali Mohamed El Awad, a second year student of economics and social studies at the University of Khartoum, was accused, along with other suspects, of spying for the Sudan People's Liberation Army-North (SPLM-N) and conspiracy against the state.
He was arrested by security operatives in Abu Kershola town in South Kordofan, but a military court acquitted him in April this year due to a lack of evidence.
Speaking to Radio Tamazuj on Thursday, Mohamed El Awad said the University administration informed him of his dismissal following his long absence from attending lectures.
He said he is still receiving verbal threats by security agents on his own mobile phone. He suffered health trouble while in detention and is now receiving treatment. His lawyer told Radio Tamazuj earlier this year that the student was "suffering badly from hepatitis disease while in military custody".
The citizen from South Kordofan was arrested on 25 November last year at his home in Um Cham Chaka, near Abu Karshola. Several hearings had taken place until his acquisition in April. The judge ruled that the evidence against Mohamed El Awad does not lead to his conviction under article 141/1 of the Criminal Procedure Act.

Oklahoma State baseball notebook: Josh Holliday nervous, excited to get coaching career started
STILLWATER — Josh Holliday has been billed as the savior of Oklahoma State baseball before he's even coached a college game.
A lot to put on the shoulders of a first-year head coach still trying to adjust and adapt to his new job description.
"I'm nervous a little bit, to be honest with you," Holliday said less than two weeks before his debut. "Excited about all the things that we've got …. It's just human nature. You're excited about when you arrive on (your) first job, yet nerve-racking at the same time. You don't want to mess anything up."
Since his hiring, Holliday's been publicly vocal about his love for the Stillwater community and his alma mater. And that's part of the reason he has put so much pressure on himself to succeed.
"Any time you do something for the first time, there's no question there's those moments of self-doubt," Holliday said. "But you have to trust your instincts and trust that you're prepared."
Holliday's coaching debut comes Feb. 15 at New Mexico.
Fifteen months after Tommy John surgery, Jason Hursh feels stronger than ever.
And that's big news for an Oklahoma State team searching for an ace to fill the big shoes of Andrew Heaney.
"It's still early, but I hope (to be the ace)," Hursh said. "I feel really good. Worked really hard to get back and it feels really good."
Hursh is a flamethrowing right-hander who came to Stillwater two years ago with plenty of expectations. He was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the sixth round out of high school.
But inconsistency affected his freshman season, and the elbow surgery thwarted his sophomore campaign. However, a strong summer — with reports of him hitting near triple-digits on the radar gun — have helped Hursh regain confidence.
"He's throwing the ball great," Holliday said. "His off-speed pitches have improved. I really think he's becoming a confident player."
OSU's hiring of Rob Walton as pitching coach was lauded by baseball minds around the country as one of the best (and most underrated) moves of the offseason.
He's a pitching guru and constant professional with big-time head-coaching experience.
But along with his priceless baseball knowledge, Walton brought along another gift for the Cowboys.
His son, Donnie Walton, had been committed to Oral Roberts (where Walton was head coach), but switched to OSU to join his father.
Donnie Walton recently had his knees scoped, but he is expected to recover for the season and potentially start at shortstop.
"He's a gamer," Holliday said of Donnie. "Nice mindset to have, especially in the middle of the diamond where you have to have that control center, quarterback on the field. He brings a lot of positive intangible items to the club."

This review is from: Wusa H250 Bluetooth Stereo Headphone with Microphone and Carrying Case
Pros: Good audio quality, good volume.
Cons: Can't wear them. They absolutely will not stay on your head. They slip off under spring-loaded pressure just walking across the kitchen with a cup of coffee, can't imagine trying to jog with these on. The only way I could find to keep them on my head was to "clamp" them on by capturing the 'over the ear' portion underneath the arms of my glasses. The headset would stay on, but the my glasses were insecure and moving around, worse still, after about 20-30 minutes of this they began to hurt like hell. I mean, like I had actually nailed them onto my skull, kind of hurt.
Other Thoughts: Really wanted to like them, but that ain't happening. Pretty good sound quality, but these things are completely unwearable. They fall off constantly, and if you can manage to make them stay on, they feel like a grizzly bear is biting your head.

"About Brunssum" Brunssum by elPierro
Brunssum Travel Guide: 16 reviews and 31 photos
Brunssum is a small town of just 30,000 inhabitants. It's located in the southeast of the Netherlands, in a hilly area. The german border lies to the north and east of Brunssum, making it closed in a small corner of the country.
It grew out to the current size after they started mining coal. The region of Brunssum has huge amounts of coal but nowadays they don't mine here anymore. The relics of the mining can still be seen nowaday, some hills are actually coal residu. The 2nd largest hill (250m) of the Netherlands is in fact one of these coal hills, it houses one of the worlds largest indoor ski-centres. It's not located in Brunssum but in nearby Landgraaf.
After the mines were closed down (coal became expensive), the region got into economic decay, the state supported the region resulting in some new industries as a big car plant (Nedcar) and chemical industry (DSM/Sabic), currently still popular emplouyers for the people of Brunssum.
Brunssum itself has not that much to offer, it houses a NATO command center for Northern Europe and mainly exists as a forensic community. Most people go work in nearby situated towns as Sittard and Heerlen.
As for tourists Brunssum has to rely on the "Brunssumer Heide" a (for Dutch standards) large environmental park. It is pretty hilly and houses vipers (the only venomous snake in the country, the shy little snakes can't kill you).
In the centre there's an old white Town Hall, and every 4 years (equal to the Olympics) there is the "Parade" an international folk festival with traditional dance groups from all over the world. Brunssum is at it's best during this festival.

'The Redgraves' biography tells story of colorful acting dynasty
With the 1907 marriage of British actress Daisy Scudamore to matinee idol Roy Redgrave, an acting dynasty was born that has profoundly touched the worlds of stage, screen, television and politics in the 105 years since.
The Redgraves in typically dramatic fashion evolved into one of the great theatrical clans of the 20th century, acting royalty whose regal talent, convention-defying eccentricities and outsized public personas are spotlighted in "The Redgraves: A Family Epic" (Crown Archetype, $26), celebrity biographer Donald Spoto's less-than-sweeping history of the English classical-acting tribe.
Focusing primarily on Michael Redgrave (only child of Daisy and Roy), the brilliant stage and movie actor who, despite fathering three children with glamorous wife and actress Rachel Kempson, was a barely closeted homosexual, the book casts his extraordinarily talented offspring into largely supporting roles.
At its front end, the biography thoroughly recounts Michael's poverty-stricken childhood, his ascendancy to acting greatness, his achievement of British knighthood and, in great detail, his dark lifelong secret.
Michael and Rachel's gifted children — Vanessa, Corin and Lynn — appear early on mainly as commentators on their father's demons. As Corin observed, "My father was gay, or bisexual, at a time when you would be ashamed, humiliated, penalized and possibly put in prison." And the shy Lynn recalled, "I was in awe of him and I adored him, and I was terrified of him and I hated him and loved him, all in one go."
It's not until well past the halfway point that the book dashes through highlights of the three children's accomplishments — Vanessa's humanitarian causes and her winning of Oscar, Emmy, Tony, Cannes, Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild awards; Corin's outspoken political stances and acclaimed performances on stage and screen; and Lynn's maverick life, honored performances and prizewinning play about her father.
It's almost an afterthought when the book reaches the careers of the grandchildren who've carried on the family's acting legacy — Joely Richardson, Jemma Redgrave and Vanessa's daughter Natasha Richardson, the Tony Award-winning actress who died in a 2009 skiing accident.

Have you ever wondered who your Civil War ancestors were? We have guidelines to help you find them.
Identify who you are looking for
- Gather the likely suspects.
- Pick someone to start researching and find his brothers and cousins.
- Which side did they probably fight for?
- Start searching for records.
Gather the likely suspects
When looking for Civil War ancestors, it's best to start with an idea of who might have served. Usually they were:
- Men
- Born between 1816 and 1846. (This is men between the ages of 15 and 45 in 1861. Although there were those outside that range.)
- Men who in the United States in the 1860 census. (Again, that is a guide, not an absolute.)
Gather the Likely Suspects
Now start walking your tree and look at your direct ancestors. Which ones fit?
The first candidate in my tree is Jeremiah Gillespie. He was born in 1826 and lived in Amherst, Virginia in 1860.
It might help to organize your data a little bit. I created a spreadsheet where I can record first and last name, home in both 1860 and 1870 (did he survive the war?), age in 1861 and age in 1865. Also did he have children born between 1860 and 1865? That gives you a clue to his whereabouts. Here is my entry for Jeremiah.
Now you can finish walking your tree and update your spreadsheet:
Pick Someone and Identify Brothers and Cousins
I'm going to pick James Calvin Donald. Next step is to find brothers and cousins. If you are having trouble locating your solider in records, try looking for brothers and cousins. Men often enlisted with family members. And the stories of your ancestor's brothers and cousins may have impacted their lives as well. James Donald is a fairly common name. Finding a brother or a cousin may help me tell which James is mine.
Now I have a group of records to search to find my Civil War Veteran's stories. I notice that Robert was 16 when the war began, so he probably enlisted sometime during the war and not at the beginning.
Which side did they probably fight for?
This is how the states divided themselves, but just because someone lived in a certain state didn't mean that he necessarily fought for that side. But this is a guide to get you started:
- Union States:
- California, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Wisconsin
- Confederate States
- South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, Virginia, Arkansas, Tennessee, North Carolina
- Border States:
- Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky, Missouri, West Virginia
Searching for Records
Now you can locate your soldier and his family in the records. A good place to start is the Ancestry Military page at Click on the Civil War tab and enter what you know.
When looking at a service records check where the solider enlisted if it is stated. Is it close to where he lived? Traveling was not easy in 1861. Men enlisted close to where they lived.
Once you find your solider on Ancestry.com, don't forget to check out Fold3 for more records. And as an Ancestry.com subscriber, you will get 50% off your Fold3 subscription.

Very good suggestions! I always assume military service in the Civil War for all male ancestors and relatives born in that time frame. As you indicated, some fall outside that time frame as well — a 3rd GGF served at the age of 60, and a GGUncle born in the late 1840's enlisted close to the end of the war. One source that you didn't mention was the data base of the National Park Service. The CW Military Parks often have good information — for example, if you have relatives who fought on the Union side in Missouri at Wilson's Creek you can find data on-line.
What a great idea! Is this something we can download? I found info about a G uncle in a Sons of the Confederacy newsletter. I found out that I am living less than 20 miles from his gravesite. Would have never found him otherwise. Buried at the site of a Confederate hospital, his initials were incorrect and his last name misspelled. I would never have found him otherwise. Thanks, Sons of the Confederacy.
It would be useful if Ancestry provided search capability on a family tree. Then every male of age to be in the Civil War could be listed. You can search for everyone with a name but not by time period or location.
Why is the military page not included in the Ancestry.co.uk site ? We pay the same subscription fee but receive less features. Does Ancestry think that only Americans fought in wars ?
Unfortunately, this advice is nearly useless if, like me, you can't find your man in the 1860 census. {My brick wall.} My GGG grandfather Hiram Smith appears to have landed in a UFO in Iowa in 1870; he didn't bring any brothers or cousins with him. He's probably from PA(tho' 1880 census says NY). Pennsylvania had 14 Civil War soldiers with this name; I've been able to eliminate only 2.
Spreadsheets are a great place to start, but it has always seemed to me I should be able to make such a query of my family tree and select the data to export to Excel, rather than creating a spreadsheet manually. Is this possible?
Re: #7 Lisa
It isn't possible using the Online trees but with a standalone desktop program you can get reports that do about the same thing and/or can be manipulated into such.
Another good source of information often overlooked is the data base of the Homes for Volunteer Soldiers, a haven for thousands of Civil War veterans until they closed around the time of WW II. There were homes all over the United States and they took in pretty much any ill or down-on-his-luck CW vet. That data base is on Ancestry and a Google search will give you the background and locations of the homes. Much genealogical data is included, including the person to be notified in the case of serious illness or death. My paternal grandfather's much older half-brother was in several of these homes, and died in the San Francisco Bay Area home — buried at a small National Cemetery in Napa.
IF you have the Family Tree Maker program, you can to this:
Another useful database is the U S Civil War Draft Registrations http://search.ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=1666
I found 2 recently arrived Irish 2nd great grandfathers, in New Jersey, in that database.
Identifying Civil War soldiers in my family is what got me into genealogy when I was in middle school.
I have identified 14 grandfathers, 93 biological uncles, 45 uncles-by-marriage, and am currently attempting to identify all my first cousins who served. I am less than halfway through my tree and have already identified 286 of them. It will take me several more months to look at each male first cousin, but it will be worth it. I keep an extensive spreadsheet to keep track of them all.
What I always caution people doing Civil War research about is making sure it is THEIR ancestor who they found in records. There are many cases where multiple men with the same name and from the same state all served, and it's important not to mix them up. I posted an article on my blog last year differentiating five men named Micajah/McCager Napier, all 5 of whom served in the Civil War. One of their descendants got a Confederate headstone for their ancestor…but the unit the headstone represented belonged to a different man of the same name who actually served the Union. I have a newspaper clipping where a woman got a Confederate headstone for her ancestor. That man shared the same name as my uncle. Well, it was my uncle who served in that unit, not her ancestor of the same name. So it's important to be careful.
There are a lot of websites dedicated to various units, and will tell you the men of each Company were from. If your ancestor was living in Union County, Arkansas, but the men in the company you found that his name on the muster roll were from Benton County, Arkansas (complete opposite end of the state), then it probably isn't your ancestor.
It is important to correspond service records with the 1860 Census. If your Ancestor is in Perry County, Kentucky in the 1860 Census, and the service record for the man you think is your ancestor enlisted in Perry County, then it is probably the same man. It's even possible if it is an adjacent county. But some "Kentucky" units were made up of Indiana men, and some "Missouri" units were made up of Arkansas men, so you always need to make sure all the records correspond and you don't end up claiming your ancestor served in a unit he didn't serve in and it's just another man of the same name.
I enjoy http://researchonline.net. It has name indexes for Civil War soldiers by state, though it is not 100% complete. That comes in handy when there's a chance your ancestor's name could be spelled incorrectly or indexed incorrectly. The NPS website does not search for variations of a name. I found Eversole cousins listed as Eversale and Haddix cousins listed as Haddicks that I would not have found if I didn't see it in index form, so that site can be quite useful.
Lastly, this is to Ancestry Anne: It appears we are cousins through the Hash family of Grayson County, VA. I had 3 Hash uncles who served (Andrew, John, and Joseph B), and my Hash 1st cousins who served include Alexander, Allen, Allen C., Byron B., Elbert S., Jerome C., Levi, Marshall, Robert, Wilburn, and William C.
Some of my Hash-related research has given me a bit of a headache. Any chance you are willing to compare notes or answer some questions on the family via e-mail? I would really value the input of a professional such as yourself. Thanks.
It is my understanding that some men were excused from the Civil War; if he could pay $300, he would not have to enlist; is this correct? If so, are there records of the men who did pay the $300?
You failed to mention the U.S. Colored Troops. You should describe them — 180,000 black men fought in the USCT and about 20,000 were in the US Navy. You should explain that if the man was enslaved he will not appear in the 1860 Census but that this is a way to locate male slaves after 1860. The enlistment record will likely reveal the last slave owner, which is key to researching slaves. Also, the USCT pension records reveal physical descriptions, and names of wives and children. Freedman's Bureau records do contain some marriage records. The database is on Ancestry.com.

Deputies have released more information in a shooting Sunday night in Carteret County.
Dead is Blake Hackworth of Mary Ella Drive on Harkers Island. The shooting happened Sunday night.
Deputies says early reports say the 45-year-old man came after his mother and father with a crutch and threatened to kill them. They say, fearing for their lives, the father fired his gun, hitting the son in the head.
No charges have been filed as the investigation continues and deputies review the facts with the district attorney.
Previous Story
One man was rushed to the hospital and later died after being shot on Harkers Island in Carteret County.
Deputy Chief Ken Raper of the Carteret County Sheriff's office says the shooting happened Sunday night around 8 p.m.
Raper says the shooting was a domestic assault but would not go into further detail because he says all of the next of kin have not been notified.
A news release is expected to be released sometime Monday morning.

Did he really just say Jesus Christ is his n****??? Holy hell.
how long until the 'Fappin for Jesus' thread starts?
has to be a joke
church's website was registered a week before the video was uploaded... they use a stock photo from 2008 (4 years after the church apparently closed according to the fake website)... etc. etc. etc.
Figured as much
I'm actually listening to a rap about Jesus right now!! Not the same Jesus though...

Bart Simpson's Treehouse of Horror Spine-Tingling Spooktacular (Bart…
by Matt Groening
No current Talk conversations about this book.
The same humour and pop-culture references we all know and love, but these stories are not repeats of the tv shows - here you will find a variety of writers and artists, plus Kodos and Kang advertisements (funny) and double-page Halloween spreads (filler). Sergio Aragones of 'Groo the Wanderer' fame was a nice added bonus.
I have always been in love with The Simpson's ever since I first started watching at the age of 5 after moving to Canada. This Comic Book was a gift from some relative and the comics within it provide a slightly wittier approach to the usual Simpson's world. A must read for any "True Simpson's Fan".
References to this work on external resources.

No descriptions found.
In the spirit of Halloween, this reign of terror is sure to satisfy even the most insatiable Bart Simpson fan.

Hit any area highway when traffic is really moving and try sticking to the posted speed. More often that not, you'll be passed.
"If you have to concentrate on the speed limit," says F/Lt. Thad Peterson, traffic services commander for the Michigan State Police, "That's attentiveness that you are taking away from driving safety."
"We've got this big difference between what people know to be right...and the speed limit." Peterson says it's that variety on the roads--some fast drivers, and some slow--that's more likely to cause a crash.
He says speeds were set artificially low in the 1970s to save gas, and they simply never got fixed. "That led to this assumption...'Drive 55, Stay Alive', 'Speed Kills,'...all those things," he says. "It just held on."

ESCONDIDO: Critics want newspapers to end anonymous comments
Contending that local debate is poisoned by inflammatory Web comments attached to online newspaper stories, Councilwoman Olga Diaz and some other Escondido leaders want the North County Times and The San Diego Union-Tribune to start requiring readers who post comments to use their real names.
"The story blogs have become more toxic than productive," said Diaz, referring to the comments sections attached to online stories, which some people call "blogs." "They've become detrimental to the psyche of our community, with most people anonymously attacking others or spewing hate and bigotry."
But supporters say anonymous comments frequently enrich local debate, because they allow people to suggest unconventional ideas or policies without their co-workers or neighbors knowing that the ideas came from them.
They also argue that requiring names would stifle free speech.
"This push is coming from a very small minority of complainers who don't like free speech," said Jeff Schwilk, founder of the anti-illegal-immigration group San Diego Minutemen. "They know if you force people to give their names, they will not be able to speak as freely."
The North County Times announced last December that it would begin requiring names from commenters in 2011, contending that anonymity had created an atmosphere of nastiness and bigotry.
But the paper hasn't followed through.
Publisher Peter York said last week that Lee Enterprises, a newspaper chain based in Iowa that owns the North County Times, told him last winter that the change couldn't happen because of technical issues.
"We got excited about doing it and thought it'd be a good idea," York said. "But we're not going to be able to do it right away, or any time soon."
York agreed that some online comments were inflammatory and inappropriate, but explained that the paper quickly removes such comments when staff members notice them or when readers complain.
The paper reviewed each comment before posting it when the comments section launched in 2005, but staff cuts forced a change to the policy about three years ago.
York also said the North County Times wasn't out of step with most other newspapers, estimating that fewer than 5 percent of papers require people who post online comments to give their real names.
Jeff Light, editor of the Union-Tribune, said last week that his paper plans to start requiring names sometime in the next few weeks.
Although he said the move wasn't prompted by complaints from Diaz, Light agreed that anonymous comments were often divisive and antagonistic, and that they rarely add something worthwhile to local debate.
He said the Union-Tribune was making the change for the same reason that the paper was reluctant to use anonymous sources in its stories.
"Identity and accountability go together," Light said, predicting that the change would improve the tone and quality of debate in the comments sections. "People are more careful when they have to use their real names. We think we'll be doing our website and our community a favor."
Stifling debate?
Escondido resident Jerry Davis, who frequently posts comments on North County Times stories that add information or help clear up confusion, said it would be a big mistake for the papers to eliminate anonymous comments.
"People would like to express their opinion without it becoming an issue in their workplace or their church," said Davis, predicting that comments would begin coming mostly from extremists unafraid to give their names. "You're going to lose your middle-of-the-road people ---- your moderates."
Davis agreed that the comments sometimes become petty and unproductive, but said there has been less nastiness since the North County Times began posting its guidelines for appropriate comments more conspicuously two years ago.

I got mine at a place called just for kids. They had sets of furniture which was really nice. And layaway, which is great bc it defeats the dishing out of a lot of money at once. I personally went with dark espresso wood and with the crib that changes into a toddler bed and then into a twin bed so my daughter could use it for a long time and it would keep me from having to buy furniture three different times in her childhood. My set of changing table, dresser, and crib were all 350 and i love them! Good luck

As fiesty in real life as she was on screen, Phillips often penned her own dialogue, such as in one episode in which her character was criticized for smoking: "I've been smoking since I was 13 years old, and during the Eisenhower administration I peaked at three packs a day. I'm not about to stop now." She also bucked convention at the Emmys when she arrived as a best supporting actress nominee in 1993 in blue jeans, a red and white checked blouse, blue suspenders and brown sandals. After "Northern Exposure" folded in 1995, Phillips continued to appear frequently on network television in guest spots on such series as "Touched by an Angel," "ER," "Suddenly Susan" and "Boston Common."

These beautiful hand tufted area rugs feature transitional and contemporary patterns with a rich color palette. Select designs have exquisite detail carved deeply into the dense, cut-and-loop pile for a dramatic texture and bold contrast.

Trans Ocean Imports
Liora Manne - Ravella
Ornamental Leaf
$39.90 - $749.00
This rug looks and feels beautiful. It is thick and really cushions your feet when you walk on it. The cost from Rugs Direct was about half what a store was asking for it (even after all their discounts). Rugs Direct also had it in stock. My wife tried to order from the store twice before when it went on sale but could not. They said they only made 7 available at a time for purchase and they were already sold out. They would not back order. She finally did a web search and found it here.
This is my third purchase and I have been extremely satisfied.

Yum! I used rice milk, vanilla yogurt and frozen mango. Great!
Was too chunky for me, I would have prefered a smoother consistency. Wasn't sweet enough, either, I ended up adding some juicy juice to make it enjoyable.
What a wonderful breakfast drink this was, I really enjoyed it. This mango lassi was rich, thick, creamy and very fruity. I especially loved the tang that the yoghurt gave to the lassi. Thanks so much for sharing Katia.

There are many ways to calculate contrast ratios, which is why you should be wary of any specification that you read on a product page. Often times, manufacturers use the maximum white obtained at the highest brightness setting, and divide it by the smallest black value obtained at the lowest brightness setting. Unfortunately, this doesn't give you a real-world view of a monitor's capabilities.
Our contrast ratios are generated from the black and white luminance values obtained at the same brightness setting. The results mirror our earlier default values because these monitors haven't been calibrated. However, this should give you an idea of how bright of a white and how dark of a black a monitor is capable of reproducing.

1jimslaid2 , April 21, 2011 4:26 AMUmmmm LG! How Could you have left out LG?
2taso11 , April 21, 2011 4:29 AMI think you mean DVI-D not DVD-D on your front page chart.
-1pirateboy , April 21, 2011 4:52 AMhey where did my comment go?
please review 16:10 monitors next time
1sleeper52 , April 21, 2011 5:01 AMwhere's the NEC EA231wmi or EA232WMI? that's around $300 as well and it's an IPS
0aznshinobi , April 21, 2011 5:07 AMHmmm.... Could've added an LG, I love my LG W2286L
1Eggrenade , April 21, 2011 5:12 AMInput lag!!
2fstrthnu , April 21, 2011 5:16 AMI'd actually rather see a 24 & 25.5" monitor shootout, they tend to be the higher-end displays of the brands (like Dell's super-duper Ultrasharp U2410).
0Assmar , April 21, 2011 5:18 AMA certain retailer has the samsung monitor listed for 280 with free shipping. If you don't live in CA, that's tax free, i'm pretty sure.

+1 I'd like to see that. HP LP2475w (rev 2.0) vs Dell U2410 (rev 2.0) vs ASUS PA246Q
-4LuckyDucky7 , April 21, 2011 5:23 AMWhy would you bother buying one of these monitors when you can get an IPS one for the same price?
How about reviewing something like the ASUS ML239H and give us a useful review, rather than going over which one of these junk TN panels is the best? 100% sRGB is useless if you can't see it unless you're straight inline with the screen (any sometimes not even then).
-2agnickolov , April 21, 2011 5:53 AMFinally an article about LCD monitors!
The selection is rather pointless (what self-respecting Tom's Hardware reader goes to Best Buy to get a monitor anyway?), however. Replacing Dell and HP with manufacturers like ViewSonic, ASUS and LG would make more sense, at least for the low end.
Reviews for IPS panels would be very welcome, but TN is where the bulk of purchases go, so I'd like to see more TN reviews going forward too. Just get realistic online prices please, instead of the MSRP Best Buy sells at... Case in point - I bought my older generation (16:10, e.g. 1920x1200) 26" ASUS for $240 last year.
Hopefully we get a series of LCD monitor charts (chart per monitor size) out of this some day, but we'll need a lot of testing activity to happen until then...
0nevertell , April 21, 2011 6:03 AMWhy would you even calibrate a TN panel, if the colors shift even if tilt your head a little.
2andrewcutter , April 21, 2011 6:07 AM"If you're a gamer, wider gamuts should be your preference because the gamut required to adequately represent the colors in titles like Just Cause 2 is much larger than what's needed to watch an episode of House (which usually uses a smaller and darker color palette). This also goes for anyone that seriously cares about content creation. For example, if you're a photographer, accurate representation of a color space may be your livelihood. "
toms i like your site but what the heel are words like photographers and content creaters doing in a review of tn monitors.
0lott11 , April 21, 2011 6:59 AM21" 23" 24" 27" LG,Vs ASUS Vs San sung Monitors for 3 way monitor set up,for ATI video card Gaming setup.
and a best setup mount or alinement's, best in visual and smallest borders, so on.
and just like gaming PC lets say $1,000.00 $1,200.00 $1,500.00 i would have said $900.00 but that is not realistic.
-1Anonymous , April 21, 2011 7:02 AMWould like to see (~300$) monitors reviews based on IPS panels. For example LGE IPS231P, Dell 2311H etc.
2dirtmountain , April 21, 2011 7:26 AMThanks for this review of monitors. Readers of Tom's run the whole gamut of computer people, from neophyte business people to foaming at the mouth gamers and even (as we see above) elitist wankers. You can always focus on premium displays in the future, thanks for this average budget minded review.
0exenter , April 21, 2011 7:50 AMAll tech sites I know of test games on the resolution 1920x1200, but only test monitors with max resolution of 1920x1080. Why is this?
0neo700 , April 21, 2011 9:18 AMLuckyDucky7Why would you bother buying one of these monitors when you can get an IPS one for the same price?How about reviewing something like the ASUS ML239H and give us a useful review, rather than going over which one of these junk TN panels is the best? 100% sRGB is useless if you can't see it unless you're straight inline with the screen (any sometimes not even then).KTHXBAI[/citation.
Is IPS some new kind of monitor?
0ubercake , April 21, 2011 9:39 AMOne thing I notice about the Samsungs these days is the 3 year warranty as opposed to most companies 1 year. That's pretty substantial in the day and age of producing "disposable" lcd monitors. I'm sure this is a big part of the higher cost. The picture is usually great on a Samsung monitor, though the reason I will always choose a Samsung monitor is the warranty all other things being equal (beside price).
Samsung doesn't even back it's $1500+ 3D TVs more than 1 year (I can tell you first-hand there's a reason they don't!). Samsung TVs have the best picture around, but the component quality sucks balls. For this, I will never buy another Samsung TV (unless they add a 3-yr warranty to their TVs).
1ibemerson , April 21, 2011 11:00 AMI will never buy another 60hz monitor again. So I would like to see a roundup of 120hz monitors.
To quote a review from anandtech: "Though the 120Hz refresh frequency does make games playable in 3D, there's another important benefit of using a faster refresh rate - everything looks smoother, and you can now drive up to 120 FPS without tearing. The ASUS VG236H was my first exposure to 120Hz refresh displays that aren't CRTs, and the difference is about as subtle as a dump truck driving through your living room. I spent the first half hour seriously just dragging windows back and forth across the desktop - from a 120Hz display to a 60Hz, stunned at how smooth and different 120Hz was. Yeah, it's that different. . . honestly, the completely unparalleled level of smoothness on a 120 Hz display has made me hyper attuned to just how flickery 60Hz looks on all the other LCDs I've got."

We speak of particularly valuable traditions. The Male Choral Group is prevalent throughout Romania and Moldova, countries that share the same culture. Carolling is usually related to Advent and the winter holidays. With a profoundly Christian message, carollers spread the news of the birth of Christ. It is a way of preserving social solidarity, because in every village the carollers visit every house. One of the most spectacular forms of The Male Choral Group, which joined UNESCO in 2013, is the "Juni" ritual encountered mainly in mountainous areas, such as the Mărişel in the Apuseni Mountains or the Carpathians surrounding Sibiu. The groups are made up of young men led by a conductor, who carol without rest at all of the houses in the village.]]> admin Fri, 27 Feb 2015 19:39:16 +0200 The Horezu Monastery – the Architectural Gem of the Brâncovenesc Style http://unescoinromania.ro/history/36-the-horezu-monastery-the-architectural-gem-of-the-brncovenesc-style.html http://unescoinromania.ro/history/36-the-horezu-monastery-the-architectural-gem-of-the-brncovenesc-style.html The Brâncovenesc style, also called Romanian Baroque, is one of the most important Romanian art trends. Its denomination comes from the Prince of Wallachia, Constantin Brâncoveanu, who is celebrated as a saint in the Romanian Orthodox Church. It was he who encouraged the development of this style which blends Baroque elements, characteristic of Venice, traditional Romanian elements, as well as Balkan and Byzantine features. One of the masterpieces of the Brâncovenesc Style is the Horezu Monastery, located in the south of Romania. This is without doubt the most appealing monastic centre in this part of the country.]]> admin Fri, 27 Feb 2015 15:45:52 +0200 Şurdeşti, The Church with the Immense Tower http://unescoinromania.ro/history/35-urdeti-the-church-with-the-immense-tower.html http://unescoinromania.ro/history/35-urdeti-the-church-with-the-immense-tower.html The Greek Catholic Church in Şurdeşti is one of the most spectacular structures. This place of worship has a huge tower, made of oak, 54 metres high, when calculated from the ceiling height of the narthex above which it was built. In total, from the foundation and to the top of the tower, the total height is 72 metres. This Maramureş church, dedicated to the Holy Archangels Michael and Gabriel, is among the highest sacred buildings in the world. The Church in Şurdeşti was built on the former site of a place of worship destroyed during the Tartar invasion in the year 1717. Its artisan was the renowned master builder John Macarius, who dared to raise its gigantic tower. According to some sources, the church was built in 1721 and according to others in 1766.]]> admin Fri, 27 Feb 2015 15:41:54 +0200 The Church of Rogoz, The Pride of Lăpuului Country http://unescoinromania.ro/history/34-the-church-of-rogoz-the-pride-of-lpuului-country.html http://unescoinromania.ro/history/34-the-church-of-rogoz-the-pride-of-lpuului-country.html The Church of Rogoz is one of the most beautiful expressions of art from the Maramureş area known as Lăpuului. It has as patrons the Holy Archangels Michael and Gabriel. This place of worship was erected in 1663 on the site of an older church, destroyed during the invasion of the Turks and Tatars in 1661 against the Prince of Transylvania, George II Rákóczi, after his unsuccessful attempt to become King of Poland. This church is very rare among wooden churches. The narthex has a polygonal shape, with access from the south nave which is rectangular, and the altar is also in the form of a polygon with seven sides.]]> admin Fri, 27 Feb 2015 15:36:30 +0200 The legend of the Crescent Church in Poienile Izei http://unescoinromania.ro/history/33-the-legend-of-the-crescent-church-in-poienile-izei.html http://unescoinromania.ro/history/33-the-legend-of-the-crescent-church-in-poienile-izei.html There is a local legend about the wooden church in Poienile Izei due to the presence of a metal crescent under the crucifix that crowns the tower of the church. The legend says that the crescent was added by one of the locals to keep the church from being desecrated by the Turkish and Tatar Muslims. The legend was reinforced by the fact that during the Tatar invasion in 1717, the church in Poienile Izei was one of the few that escaped undamaged.

It also has more modest dimensions, because the village that raised this place of worship only numbered 200 souls at the time of the foundation. However, this oak-built church, dedicated to the Holy Archangels Michael and Gabriel, has several features that bestow upon it the look of a true architectural gem. Although the mural painting has only been preserved in fragments, there are remarkable exterior decorations carved meticulously in wood by the local people who were famous sculptors of dowry chests.]]> admin Fri, 27 Feb 2015 15:28:41 +0200 Budeşti , "The Wooden Cathedral" http://unescoinromania.ro/history/31-budeti-the-wooded-cathedral.html http://unescoinromania.ro/history/31-budeti-the-wooded-cathedral.html The Church of Budeşti, Josani is a magnificent example of the Greek Catholic cultural synthesis in Maramureş. The place of worship blends Eastern and Western traditions in perfect harmony. Basically, it is the largest wooden church in the UNESCO patrimony. The church was built in 1643, on a hill that dominates the village. The settlement was attested in 1361, when it was part of a Romanian Principality, attested in a diploma issued by King Louis of Anjou. The prosperity enjoyed by the locals allowed them to finance this particularly impressive constructio.

Lights Out
Ferguson, Niall, Newsweek
Byline: Niall Ferguson
India's massive blackout is just the beginning.
The British--slightly less than a thousand of them--used to govern India. Without air-conditioning.
Conan O'Brien was not the only one who watched the London Olympic opening ceremonies with amazement. "Hard to believe my ancestors were conquered by theirs," he tweeted. Every Indian watching must have been thinking the very same.
Until their TVs went dark.
The recent power outage in India interested me more than the Olympics. (I had a very British reaction to the opening ceremonies: I found them excruciatingly embarrassing.) The Indian blackout was surely the biggest electricity failure in history, affecting a staggering 640 million people. If you have ever visited Delhi in the summer, you will have some idea what it must have felt like.
"Every door and window was shut," Rudyard Kipling recalled of summer in the scorched Indian plains, "for the outside air was that of an oven. The atmosphere within was only 104 degrees, as the thermometer bore witness, and heavy with the foul smell of badly-trimmed kerosene lamps; and this stench, combined with that of native tobacco, baked brick, and dried earth, sends the heart of many a strong man down to his boots, for it is the smell of the Great Indian Empire when she turns herself for six months into a house of torment."
There was a reason the British moved their capital to the cool Himalayan hill station of Simla every summer. Maybe today's Indian government should consider following their example. Because power failures like this are not about to get less frequent. On the contrary, the outage has exposed the single greatest vulnerability of the Asian economic miracle: it is fundamentally underpowered.
In the past 10 years, according to the energy giant BP, India's coal consumption has more than doubled, its oil consumption has increased by 52 percent, and its natural-gas consumption has jumped by 131 percent. For China the figures are, respectively, 155 percent, 101 percent, and 376 percent. Asia as a whole is insatiably guzzling fossil fuels. And this is not about to stop. The McKinsey Global Institute expects India's economy to grow at an average rate of between 7 percent and 8 percent from now until 2030.
The good news is that all this growth will do something (though not enough) to compensate for the depressed state of indebted developed economies like the United States and Europe. …

As always, you look amazingly elegant with a nice hint of the sensual. The Costume is beautiful.
Very cute, I'm a fan of this picture. Kinda sexy too, but of course a pretty face and some chest usually does that for a man.
Well taken.

That's really, really pretty!

awesome cosplay looks very well done. I havent seen the show yet but ive been thinking about watching it
Thank you! The show is pretty.... fan-service-y.
Very good photo, the model has allot to do with the photo too you know, you always strike the perfect pose!!
yes, peeking through...... the trees of course
O_O Speechless !!
Wow this is really pretty/beautiful.
Wow...this is simply an amazing shot here. You never cease to amaze me sometimes ^^
cant help but stare at them cannons
Oh Captain, My Captain?
Aahh, such a gorgeous shot! <3
for a boat captain, the character sure wears a lot of bows.
Boat captains can wear whatever they please~!
No they can't, whatever gave you that impression! No bows! Or ribbons! Or random things they've just made up!
Would it be wrong/disrespectful to admit that, in all honesty, I'd like to do much more then "Peek?" Sexiest Captain ever
