S&P Hits Record High Despite VIX Flash Smash
Was it ever in doubt? Bad news is great news for China and Europe and good new is great news for US because no matter what Yellen will go full dovetard tomorrow - at least that appears to be the total consensus view as the S&P hit record highs and bond yields plunge. Volume went from dismal to well dismal-er (we've run out of adjectives) to the lowest non-holiday of the year as we note Trannies (-0.25%) and Nasdaq lagged today. Credit markets snapped higher (tighter) today but remain less exuberant than stocks on the week. Gold staggered lower (-2% on the week) back under $1280 even as The USD rolled over notably on the day led by EUR strength. Treasuries rallied (30Y -3bps and 10Y <2.40%) in the face of equity strength. VIX flash-smashed early on from 11.5 to over 13 (cracking stocks lower) but that was a great buying opportunity into J-Hole...
Yeah baby...
From the Putin military drill is over lows... Trannies and Nasdaq have outperformed...
Perhaps worryingly - the last few weeks best performers - Trannies and Nasdaq - underperformed today...
Year to Date - Healthcare (helpe by Biotechs) lead, Homebuilders still lag...
VIX dropped to 11.5 but not before flash-smashing over 13 early on...
Treasuries rallied on the day led by the long-end, as 30Y is now 4bps lower than pre-hawkish FOMC minutes...
Gold has had a bad week, oil has recovered some losses today as Copper held yesterday gains despite shitty China PMI data..
Even as The USDollar rolled over on broad weakness led by EUR strength...almost giving back all of the FOMC Minutes gains
So - the last week or two has been remarkable in stocks... volume has collapsed, credit has diverged, VIX flash-smashed today, leaders were laggards today, the USD stopped surging today, Treasury yields rolled lower today, and oil started rising again... things changed today - marginal hedges being lifted into tomorrow or turning point?

Best. Recovery. Ever. thank you OBunga... Party on!
Where did this kid come from in the uptrend cart? Also this is a different father. What's goin on!!??
Lines, lines, ... everywhere, lines...
You couldn't keep the Nasdaq in that tight of a range even if you had a computer programmed to do it....wait a minute
Going full dovetard at the j-hole. Well done.
at least Lies man can get some fishing in, he's such the naturalist... and an expert at the art of casting a fly from what I hear
Liesman will come back and talk about how great the fishing was, but when you ask him how many he caught, he'll say "none."
maybe wet his pants next to Kosher-Lakota, so it ws a good outing for him...
Whoa.....you apparently have never gone "fishing".
While defending Liesman is not my intention, in this specific case, he would be right in talking about how great the fishing was and replying ""None" to how many he caught.
There are greater minds than Comte's who know why.
Tomorrows Headline.. SPY 200/QQQ 100
why the fascination with SPX vs. 10 or 30 yr. clearly the correlation is broken and has been for years, so just stop... thanks
"the bond market wasn't buying it" (again, like 587 out of the last 700 trading days) as we charge thru 2000 SPX...lol
it lasts sometimes on an intraday basis.. but pull the chart back months/years and it means nothing.
Tracking the 10 yr for couple years and hasn't much varied betwee 124. and 126 + or -.
No joy there.
Methinks the last couple of weeks was the blow-off double top. Rally made no sense even in a no sense market. Too many divergences. I said a while back that we would top when the USDJPY strength started being looked at as a negative (since there is no carry trade with ZIRP). I think we're there
And Im just as certain that Howdy Doody was a puppet.
I smell George Soros tears, and they ain't for "joy"...
OT: 10% of Iceland is now no-go zone, due to the potential for an imminent volcanic, um, catastrophe:
Hahaha... George Soros sure got Mandingo-ed up his tailpipe this week...How's it feel to be out of the club for a week Georgie Porgie?
I woudn't count on that. He's a charter member of the Jewish Mafia. There is no way he EVER can lose money. Don't take one little snippet of his trades, and make a decision to follow it.
While he's pointing to one thing with his index finger, he has four fingers hidden, in the palm of his hand.
You can't follow his trade unless you're on his rolodex, or are a fly on the wall, watching, as he places his trades on Scottrade after a rubdown, and a roll in the hay with the LBFMs.
I'm really not intrested in magic or tiddlywinks... I'm a facts person, and while Soros is a (2) headed snake, it's no secret he's got a massive put position on right now.
Unlike you or me, George can sit on that trade forever if he wants. I'm sure you've heard the old trading proverb, "every trade's a winner if you hold it long enough?" Now go play in the street, like your mother taught you how to.
Who was that Japanese dude sitting on a million tons of copper no one knew about and was "long only"? Think it was back in the 90's.
Wanna say his "un-sellable position" sent copper below a buck a pound.
According to the geologist folks there's a billion tons of it in Argentina.
The "Bronze Age" was a long time ago...
You don't know but a scintilla of what his strategy is.
The variables on that theme, that apparently you are completely ignorant about, are testament to the fact that you KNOW NOTHING!!'
Grow the fuck up and admit you were wrong to post an assinine viewpoint that takes into account only your feelings about where the market is headed.
Puts have expirations. You'd know that and put the lie to Every Trade's a winner if you ever bought a single one.
Take a revolver, put a single paintball in it, and aim it at your temple.
How's it feel to be out of the club for a week Georgie Porgie?...
He's distancing himself from the worst mistake his money contributed to and the "dumb Polack" who fancies himself a chess player that is also CFR that talked him into it.
Like rats fleeing the sinking ship....
Hats off to GW for covering this so well. This is a very significant watershed moment and announcement from members within the gang who contributed but now want out after the "blowback" and all the money they have lost and blood on their hands in the aftermath.
We're essentially witnessing the damning separation among all the unhappy players who made there bed on this one and are worried about their future in both money and in contributing to war crimes.
In a word S-W-E-E-T!
The only thing that would make tihs announcement from the CFR more enjoyable is Germany exiting the EU and the Hague moving to Saint Petersburg
I've no doubt Soros knows what he's doing. He's been at the game long enough to see the writing on the wall.
Yeah, okay. And the world's "global media HQ" is in Tehran.
Five years of reading ZH fear porn, and all I got was this lousy all time S&P high.
new t-shirt .. on sale this week!
:) aha, you're about to capitulate?
Ugh, save me. :(
The media's account of today is rather amusing – money manager Yellen worship ("we must make an offering to the god of stock prices").
Instead, annoyingly, it seemed pure machine, purely technical. Each day is the combination of all algos and participant actions. With anticipated low volume (late August, and no reason to sell before Yellen), the machines were rather textbook: create a downdraft "buying vacuum" after 'strong' 10:00 econ reports, lie in wait at a key moving average just as the big POMO spigot started at 10:15 (for the Russell it was the 200 DMA), then turn on the "slow burn" algo to grind higher, reloading each time the 20-MA was hit on the 2-min chart, all the way up to where supply would be (again for the Russell, the 50 DMA).
They knew none of the big houses would have a sell program on until at least 20 min. into Yellen's speech tomorrow, so nothing would stop them from levitating on pathetic volume. If it was a bunch of Fidelity fund managers deciding what to do over breakfast, we wouldn't have been bracketed by major moving averages so precisely.
You're right, with the 99% failure rate, flashing green bars, and the fact that every action directly affects your income, trading is pure fantasy.
Had a "real job", financial analysis mgr for a F100 company. Sat in conference rooms, listening to vendors drone and programmers squabble while the project managers, allegedly taking notes, played Angry Birds on their iPhones. The 'reality' was epic.

Getting Businesses out of the Health-Care Business
Feulner, Edwin J., Chief Executive (U.S.)
Health-care reform continues to be the main event on Capitol Hill, and most of the major contenders are taking their well-deserved lumps.
The Clinton plan is battered and bleeding: too complicated, too bureaucratic, too costly, too limited on individual choice, and too certain to lead to government-directed rationing. Not a pretty picture.
Another leading plan--known as "Clinton-lite"--also is faltering. Why? Because, as The Washington Post has pointed out, the Cooper-Grandy "managed-competition" plan and the Clinton plan "are more alike than either side finds it convenient to acknowledge."
With Congress' Independence Day recess just ahead, maybe it's time for business executives to give their senators and representatives some needed advice: Instead of arguing about business "mandates," let's get business out of the health-care business altogether.
Only one plan would remove business from of the business of health care: The Consumer Choice Health Security Act, sponsored by Sen. Don Nickles, R-Okla., and Rep. Cliff Stearns, R-Fla. This bill, which has 25 Senate and 20 House co-sponsors, is the legislative progeny of a plan my colleagues at the Heritage Foundation devised in 1989 when our experts realized health-care financing was rapidly reaching the crisis stage.
The idea behind the Nickles-Stearns plan is that because people think someone else is picking up the tab for their health care, they don't pay attention to costs. As a result, neither do doctors, hospitals, and others in the medical business. Prices outpace the general rate of inflation, because demand is unlimited.
The Nickles-Stearns plan would remove this demand distortion by ending the current tax exclusion for employer-provided benefits. The additional revenue (some $80 billion to $88 billion per year, state and federal) the government would realize from the expanded tax base would be returned to taxpayers in the form of an individual tax credit or vouchers for the working poor who currently don't have health benefits.
From the day this legislation would take effect, businesses could "cash out" of health care--that is, they could convert the value of their employees' health benefits into cash, increase their wages by an equivalent amount, and get out of the health-benefits business.
Employees would use the additional pay to buy their own health plans, either directly from an insurer or HMO, or through some group with which they feel a special affinity, such as a professional society, a union, a religious organization, a health charity, the state manufacturers association.
If the employees of Citibank, or example, now get a $6,000-a-year health plan as a free benefit, that $6,000 would be considered taxable income under the consumer-choice plan. Each employee would use the pay increase to buy his own health plan. If an employee can find a health plan that meets his family's needs for just $4,200 per year, he pockets the $1,800 he has just saved (less taxes, of course). The health plan would be the employee's--not the company's--and would go with him if he changed jobs.
Consider the effect of such a plan on the cost of health care. Individuals would have as wide a range of choices as the market could provide. This would mean not only intense competition between insurers and health-care providers for the business of each individual and family, it would mean each family could pick the plan that best suits its individual circumstances and pocketbook.
Once consumers are empowered to buy their own insurance without the employer middle man, they'll pay more attention to the money they spend. Normal market forces will impel doctors and hospitals to operate more economically. America's health industry will keep its insurmountable edge in quality and innovation--and add efficiency to the mix.
Wishful thinking? Not at all: A working prototype for such a consumer-choice system has existed for 34 years: the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program. …

On my ride home yesterday I somehow managed to get a screwdriver through my tire. I can't even describe it properly, you'll just have to see:
I'm obviously going to replace the tire, and I'm thinking about trying the Schwalbe Marathon Plus. I don't want to shell out the cash for two tires to make the front and rear match since my front tire (Conti Contact) is still pretty new. Is it okay to use non-matching (but same-sized) tires? Supposedly you're not supposed to do it on a car, but I don't know about a bike.

Doña Hilda is again requesting a second loan that she will use to buy fertilizers and pay for manual labor to clear her property and the crops. This is necessary because after the plants are cut the property is left with the deteriorating crop, which makes it necessary to attend to it so as to be able to harvest an excellent crop this season.
Nuevamente Doña Hilda solicita su segundo financiamiento el cual será utilizado para la compra de fertilizantes y el pago de mano de obra para limpieza de la propiedad y la planta la cual es necesaria ya que después del corte la planta y la propiedad quedan deterioradas por lo que es necesario asistir nuevamente para poder sacar una excelente cosecha para esta temporada.
Additional Information
More information about this loan
These loans are designed for female farmers who produce a variety of products (onion, garlic, eggplant, spinach, mango, strawberries, etc.). Loan terms will vary depending on need, and borrowers can choose to make a "bullet" payment timed with harvest profits. Agricultural loans are considered risky in Honduras due to external forces like unpredictable weather and worldwide crop prices. As a result, many traditional financial institutions are unwilling to offer these loans. With Kiva funding, COMIXMUL will be able to reach more borrowers with agricultural loans tailored to their needs.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

Casinos Bring Detroit Hope and Division
By BRETT PULLEY
Published: April 11, 1998
DETROIT, April 10— The view from Mayor Dennis W. Archer's 11th-floor office in City Hall is apparently all he needed to convince himself that bringing casino gambling to Detroit's riverfront would be well worth the emotion and divisiveness that have clutched this city so tightly in recent days.
There, across the murky waters of the Detroit River, in Windsor, Ontario, sit two shimmering casinos operated by the Canadian Government, drawing thousands of Michigan gamblers each day through the bridge and tunnel that connect these international neighbors.
''They have a corner on the market because there's nothing nearby to challenge them,'' Mr. Archer said, in an interview this week. ''To the extent that there's any burden with casinos, we have it already with the Windsor casino, and we have none of the benefits.''
Betting on hope and luck to restore a city built with the steel and bolts of the auto industry, the City Council approved a plan on Thursday to make Detroit the largest city in the United States with casinos. If the state's casino control commission approves, three casinos will be built on 57 acres next to the world headquarters of the General Motors Corporation. A decision is expected in six months.
Michigan voters had already approved land-based casinos for Detroit, but Thursday's vote in favor of specific plans for a $1.8 billion complex of three hotels and casinos was pivotal. Mr. Archer's decision last fall not to award any of the city's gambling licenses to a black-owned developer created dissension in a city with a 76 percent black population, a black Mayor and a predominantly black City Council.
A grass-roots effort to overrule the mayor's decision had been expected to gain momentum if the Council had rejected his plan. Also hoping for a defeat were anti-gambling organizations, which had begun campaigning for a ballot initiative to overturn the city's right to license casinos.
Mr. Archer, who won his second term with 80 percent of the vote last November and has had strong support from local businesses, has not only been vilified by some blacks as a ''miseducated Negro,'' but has also angered many white business owners for breaking a promise not to place the casinos along the waterfront, in what the city calls its renaissance riverside district.
''I have taken a lot of heat,'' Mr. Archer said after the vote. ''I learned who my friends are.''
One person probably not included among those friends is Don H. Barden, a local black businessman who made millions as a cable television operator and owns a riverboat casino in Indiana. Mr. Barden, whose bid for a casino license was deemed inferior by the Mayor last fall, has vowed to continue fighting.
''This is not over yet,'' Mr. Barden promised on Thursday. ''This is a matter of principle in a city with this kind of population base. When blacks are in control of the political process and they find that there are qualified blacks, then they should be duty bound to make the decision on behalf of their own.''
A group organized on Mr. Barden's behalf is placing a question on the August primary ballot that would require that one of the casinos be controlled by blacks. A group supporting Mr. Archer, who has insisted that he chose the three proposals that were best for the city, is sponsoring a ballot measure that would affirm his decision.
But the Mayor, voicing a widely held view, said that ''with the City Council voting yes, I believe that we will be able to diffuse any enthusiasm'' for repealing the licenses or changing the criteria.
Mr. Barden's plan to build a $500 million project lacked sufficient equity, Mr. Archer said. By placing the casinos together on the waterfront, he noted, the annual revenue projected by industry analysts grew to $1.5 billion a year from $1.2 billion.
''My fiduciary responsibility called for me in a competitive situation to do what was best for the city,'' the Mayor said. ''I could not lead with my heart. I had to lead with my head.''
The casinos are projected to create 11,000 permanent jobs, which would make the gambling industry the city's sixth-largest employer, rivaling G.M.'s entire Detroit-based work force. The projected annual tax revenue is $130 million for the city and $100 million for the state.
Two of the three development partnerships are headed by companies based in Las Vegas, Nev.: MGM Grand and Circus Circus Enterprises. The third development group is Greektown Casino, a partnership of local businessmen named after the Detroit neighborhood. More than 100 blacks have bought equity in the three partnerships. All three have named blacks to their boards.
Temporary casinos could open by late this year, and permanent ones as early as 1999. In addition to the opportunities for local builders and engineers, other local businesses will compete for an estimated $300 million a year in continuing contracts.
''This will create a minimum of 50 real, solid black millionaires,'' predicted Herb Strather, a black real estate developer and president of Atwater Entertainment, a local group of investors that has a 55 percent equity stake in the Circus Circus project, though Circus Circus will maintain management control.

House honours Deborah Backer
Four months after the passing of APNU MP and Shadow Foreign Affairs Minister Deborah Backer, members of the National Assembly on Thursday moved a motion to honour the contributions she made and have their tributes to her recorded in the Hansard.
Backer, who was also an attorney and a member of several civil society groups, received glowing commendations from all sides of the house during the sitting for the roles she played during her many years as a Member of Parliament (MP).
It was A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) MP and Chief Whip Amna Ally who moved the motion. In her presentation, she recalled that Backer was unmatched as a debater in the House and an invaluable asset to the coalition for that and other reasons.
Legal Affairs Minister Anil Nandlall said that though Backer was a member of an opposing party, she, as a mediator, could be counted on to be pragmatic and impartial. He also recalled that Backer was a skilled heckler, and he shared that several members often found themselves on the receiving end of her heckling, much to their detriment.
He also noted that though she adopted a party-oriented stance as an MP, she was capable of neutrality when called on to perform her role as Deputy Speaker. Meanwhile, AFC MP Cathy Hughes recalled that Backer usually took the time to explain strategy and other elements of parliamentary work to her, while Opposition leader David Granger, like Ally, sung Backer's praises, calling her a valuable asset to APNU.
House Speaker Raphael Trotman also took the opportunity to honour Backer's memory. In a short address, he reminded the House that she was "the life of the National Assembly," and that it will never be the same without her.

This apartment is five minutes from the Avenida da Liberdade / Restauradores / Rossio. Even in central Lisbon with access to the entire network of transportation - subway, bus, taxi, train and all trade: supermarket, grocery store, fruit store, restaurants, bars, hairdressers and gyms.
Bus: Campo Mártires da Pátria, Marquês de Pombal/Duque de Loulé. Subway station: Intendente. To go up from da "Baixa" to "Santana's Hill": "Elevador do Lavra" / Bus: 760
Lisbon has been the capital of Portugal since the 12th century. It has a long history that can be experienced in the old neighborhoods, which may be visited by foot or tram. The Atlantic climate offers wonderful conditions to travel all year round. The main feature of Pena is that it is a plateau, from which two main slopes descend, facing Martin Moniz and Avenida da Liberdade. It begins at the north-east of Rossio and extends to Campo dos Mártires da Pátria, commonly known by Campo de Santana. The streets on the two slopes are twisting and irregular, leading to many beautiful alleys and side streets.
Being one of the oldest districts in Lisbon, one is overwhelmed by the diversity of its buildings, constructed in accordance with the successive types of architecture through centuries. Wrought iron balconies from the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries can be seen everywhere. In constant dialogue with the wrought iron are the glazed tiles of the façades - a style reportedly brought from Brazil after the 16th century.
It is very close to the famous Bairro Alto, a nightlife area, which can be reached after walking down Rossio or by taking the Elevador do Lavra, the oldest funicular in Lisbon. This 120 year old elevator goes every 15 minutes down to Rua das Portas de Santo Antão, the location of many excellent fish restaurants as recommended by many city guides.

Very nice apartment in a prime location! Have stayed there with 4 people. Everything was available: towels, linens, hair dryer, coffee maker, kettle ... even spices. A supermarket and a very good restaurant is right next door. What more do you want?
Sehr schönes Apartment in bester Lage! Haben dort mit 4 Personen übernachtet. Alles war vorhanden: Handtücher, Bettwäsche, Fön, Kaffeezubereiter, Wasserkocher... sogar Gewürze. Ein Supermarkt und ein sehr gutes Restaurant sind direkt nebenan. Was will man mehr?
We hebben ons heerlijk vermaakt door lopend de kronkelige straatjes, steegjes en trappen van Alfama te verkennen.Met op ieder hoekje een terrasje of restaurantje die we, vanwege de uitzonderlijk hoge temperaturen van + 30 graden, regelmatig bezocht hebben, was de ligging van het appartement aan de Beco de Bugio ideaal. Als je niet lopend dit gedeelte van Lissabon wilt ontdekken kun je er ook voor kiezen gebruik te maken van het bekende gele trammetje 28. De ontvangst in het appartement was vriendelijk en hulpvaardig. De bedden waren van goede kwaliteit en er was voldoende plek voor 4 personen. Het enige nadeel in dit appartement is de toegang via de slaapkamer naar de badkamer. Lissabon heeft ons aangenaam verrast en we komen er zeker nog een keer terug.
Large apartment. Ample living space. The outside looks like a balcony and is not very big. The outdoor area is surrounded by white walls. These white walls provide a bright apartment.
Apartment located on the edge of downtown so everything is easily accessible. Perfect apartment for a city visit.
Groot appartement. Voldoende leefruimte. De buitenruimte lijkt op een balkon en is niet erg groot. De buitenruimte wordt omgeven door witte muren. Deze witte muren zorgen voor een licht appartement.
Appartement ligt aan de rand van het centrum zodat alles gemakkelijk bereikbaar is. Prima appartement voor een stadsbezoek.
We were very pleased with our accommodation in Lisbon. The apartment has all the facilities, is clean and neatly furnished. The location is really good, the connection through the bus 712 to the public transport optimally. The balcony invites you to breakfast and evening Sundowner.
Our host was extremely friendly and helpful, we would not hesitate to re-book this apartment.
Wir waren mit unserer Unterkunft in Lissabon sehr zufrieden. Die Wohnung bietet alle Möglichkeiten, ist sauber und ordentlich eingerichtet. Die Lage ist wirklich gut, die Anbindung durch den Bus 712 an den öffentlichen Nahverkehr optimal. Der Balkon lädt zum Frühstück und abendlichen Sundowner ein.
Unser Gastgeber war außerordentlich freundlich und hilfsbereit, wir würden jederzeit wieder diese Wohnung buchen.
The location of the apartment in Alfama, close to the Se cathedral and city center is perfect. All Lisbon regions (Alfama,Baixa, Bairro alto and Chiado) are at walking distance. In case you want to go there by public transportation you'll find tram (28E and others) and bus stop just around the corner and the metro station Terreira do Paco is at a 5 minutes walk. There's a supermarket "Pingo Doce" at approx. 10 minutes walking distance.
The sober decorated apartment has a kitchen, 2 small bedrooms, a very small living room and a bathroom.
We had to clean part of the kitchen and do the dishes before use.The kitchen gear is very basic and partly incomplete. When we arrived we found only 3 glasses (this was resolved after a call to the host). There's no electric coffee machine. Besides a dustpan with a short broom, there are no other (floor) cleaning tools like a vacuum cleaner, normal sized broom etc. So it's hard to keep it clean when you're there for more than 2 days.
The double bed in one of the bedrooms measures only 184 x 128, which is not a normal double sized bed and doesn't fit taller people. This should be mentioned on the website.
The absence of a shelf with bed light at one side of the bed in both rooms, which were there in the past according to the holes in the wall (and pictures on the website) indicate a lack of maintenance as did the broken dustbin, not functioning lock on the bathroom door, no light in the refrigerator etc.
I would not recommend this apartment for more than 4 persons.
Overall, we did enjoyed our stay and the host was very friendly, but based on the reviews, I got a slightly different impression of the apartment. With this review I want to compensate for that. I think it's quite easy to make it a more attractive apartment with only minor investments. Please do.
We got to Lisbon after staying in Porto for a few days.
We had a great time despite the terrible weather but we won't be back soon.
Filipe met us at the apartment and showed us around. He told us where we could find a super market and a few grocery stores, then he recommended a nice bar to hang out in the evening, which we enjoyed alot and won't give away it's name online. It's an amazing bar and until now free of drooling drunk tourists unlike so many other places.. lol
He didn't want to go through "the map" and give tons of recommendations and instead offered to be "available" around the clock for us to write/call him if we were interested in a place and wouldn't know if and how we should go there.
We were fine with that and he answered on our first request pretty quickly, not so much when we contacted him on the second day (for a restaurant-recommendation) and didn't receive any answer for the rest of our stay in Lisbon.. In that case, we'd prefer a map with some marks of recommendations instead of empty words.
The apartment's location is absolutely perfect, few minutes of walking to Bairro Alto (bars and restaurants, nightlife-hotspot) and still pretty calm at night. The apartment looks great at first glance, lots of space and great ambiance.
We only gave 4 stars, because it was dirty!
We had to clean some of the kitchen before we found it save to use any of it and also had to do the dishes before using them - however, we didn't clean out the cupboards which would've taken forever and definitely needs to be done asap.
The floor was sticky so that we couldn't bare walking around in socks (only bringing in more dirt I guess) and the bedsheets had some ugly stains on them.
The bathroom was okay, but the toilet paper sits on the floor and the toilet brush is standing in a deep puddle of god-knows-how-old toilet water (I didn't dare to clean that one!).
The shower head is leaky and spills water all around and it's holder sits loosely on the wall..
this might not be much reason to criticize for many as I know lots of people who live in such "conditions" and seem perfectly fine with that.
For me it's just unacceptable to not get a place cleaned up before offering it to someone.
A part la porte d'entrée qui est un non-sens d'isolation phonique, thermique et sécuritaire, vous donnant l'impression que chaque entrant dans l'immeuble pénètre également dans votre studio (surtout à 2h du matin),le charme "Ikea de bon goût" et la situation de cet appart sont très appréciables. De petits détails pratiques sont à disposer comme des porte-savons dans la salle de bain, un balai ou encore l'entretien des plaques de cuisson avec un produit adapté.
Apartment suitable for 5 persons, good location (but steep descent), a lot of small / very low cost / easy / good quality restaurants nearby, as a small supermarket. Apartment was well equipped, with coffee maker and teapot facilities could be improved. Key handover went smoothly, friendly welcome with some tips to Lisbon. Small drawback: Not all rooms were cleaned perfectly. But overall: Highly recommended!
Wohnung gut geeignet für 5 Personen, gute Lage (allerdings steiler Abstieg), viele kleine/sehr preiswerte/einfache/qualitativ gute Restaurants in unmittelbarer Nähe, ebenso kleiner Supermarkt. Wohnung war gut ausgestattet, durch Kaffemaschine und Teekanne könnte Ausstattung noch verbessert werden. Schlüsselübergabe klappte problemlos, freundlicher Empfang mit einigen Tipps zu Lissabon. Kleines Manko: Nicht alle Räume waren perfekt gereinigt. Doch insgesamt: Sehr empfehlenswert!
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption

Cue a range of motor puns with Google declaring it wants to be "accelerating auto innovation" and make the car better connected with the other screens in our lives…
Those already on board the OAA, as founding members, are: Audi, GM, Honda, Hyundai and Nvidia.
The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) Latest News Roundup »
Patrick Brady, Director of Android Engineering, writes on the official Google Android blog:
Today, millions of people already bring Android phones and tablets into their cars, but it's not yet a driving-optimized experience. Wouldn't it be great if you could bring your favourite apps and music with you, and use them safely with your car's built-in controls and in-dash display?
Together with our OAA partners, we're working to enable new forms of integration with Android devices, and adapting Android for the car to make driving safer, easier and more enjoyable for everyone. Putting Android in the car will bring drivers apps and services they already know and love, while enabling automakers to more easily deliver cutting-edge technology to their customers. And it will create new opportunities for developers to extend the variety and depth of the Android app ecosystem in new, exciting and safe ways.
Read the full blog post – New partnership to bring Android to the open road »
How will Android work, exactly, inside a car? Google is promising a "car optimised experience", and it will develop new Android platform features for making the car itself a connected Android device.
Apparently, you can expect to see the first cars with Android integration by the end of this year, and Google says it has been working with government agencies, such as the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), to ensure drivers "get what they're looking for without disrupting their focus on the road".

Apple announced its 'iOS in the Car' initiative back in June last year, at its WWDC 2013.
Continuing on the automotive theme at CES, Chevrolet also announced the launch of its Performance Data Recorder (PDR), developed in partnership with Cosworth. It's all about data acquisition and telemetry electronics, together with HD video for presenting the vehicle data and infotainment…
"The Performance Data Recorder combines the ability to record and share drive videos with the power of a professional-level motorsports telemetry system," said Tadge Juechter, Corvette chief engineer. "Drivers can easily record and share their experiences driving down the Tail of the Dragon or lapping Road Atlanta. In addition, with the included software users can analyze their laps in incredible detail, and find opportunities to improve their driving and lap times."
The system will be available on the 2015 Corvette Stingray.

This post refers to Swift 2.0, beta 6:
Protocol extensions are great to provide default behavior for a protocol. But beware. They expose some dangerous traits when used in combination with inheritance.
//: Playground
import UIKit
protocol Winable:class {
func win() -> String
extension Winable {
func win() -> String {
return ("You won")
class BattleDelegate:Winable {
func win() -> String {
return ("You won this battle")
class EpicBattleDelegate:BattleDelegate {
override func win() -> String {
return ("You won this epic battle.")
class LotteryDelegate:Winable {
class LotteryBigPrizeDelegate:LotteryDelegate {
func win() -> String {
return ("You won the big prize")
class Game {
weak var delegate:Winable?
init (delegate:Winable) {
self.delegate = delegate
print (self.delegate?.win())
let commonBattleGame = Game(delegate:BattleDelegate())
//prints "Optional("You won this battle.")"
let extraordinaryBattleGame = Game(delegate:EpicBattleDelegate())
//prints "Optional("You won this epic battle.")"
let commonLotteryGame = Game(delegate: LotteryDelegate())
//prints "Optional("You won")"
let extraordinaryLotteryGame = Game(delegate: LotteryBigPrizeDelegate())
//prints "Optional("You won")
My assumption was that LotteryBigPrizeDelegate would print:
"Optional("You won the big prize")
Well. I was wrong. I didn't win the big prize.
Conclusion: If you want to subclass your next fancy class that conforms to a protocol with an extension be careful: You have to implement all protocol functions the subclass wants to change in the root class, too. If you don't your subclass won't be able to override the protocol's standard behavior defined in the extension.
Note: Everything would work fine if I would instantiate LotteryBigPrizeDelegate with the type "LotteryBigPrizeDelegate" instead of "Winable". But that would defy the notion of using a delegate protocol at all, wouldn't it?
Update: @jckarter states "Protocol extensions can't extend a class method table. The subclass method shadows the extension method."
After six month of hard work Rules! is ready for launch.
On it's first day it has been number 1 of all paid apps in Germany and we were featured all around the world.
It's an exciting time.
Website: http://www.rulesgame.net
Reviews are pouring in.
Rules! is that sort of lightning in a bottle that only comes along every so often. I'd rank it right up there with Threes!, and not just because both games so gleefully abuse exclamation points. – Gamezebo
2 Dreams will be shown at AmazeFest next week. It made the Shortlist for the "Most Amazing Game" by the way.
I am working on a new project: Rules! If you want to learn more about it you can meet me at AmazeFest or watch the first episode of "Monkey Business" where Martin Pittenauer (@map) is documenting the work at German Game Studio TheCodingMonkeys (Carcassonne, Lost Cities).
The first reviews of 2 Dreams are coming in:
Lucy Ingram writes for 148Apps.com: "Surreal, unique, and original, 2 Dreams is an intriguing narrative adventure puzzler that is a special kind of game." I really love the depth of the review. It's meaning a lot to me.
Owen Faraday did a little interview on Pockettactics and says: "We're talking about 2 Dreams, his surreal new iOS game — his first video game — and 2014′s most inventive game yet."
On the German site Fritz.de they say: "2 Dreams ist nicht nur clever, der Nerd-Humor ist auch wirklich unterhaltsam." (2 dreams isn't just clever the nerd humor is really entertaining).
There are some people who pointed out similarities to Device 6. I had not been aware of this app until very recently but I have to admit it is the same gerne. If anybody can claim this genre even exists: A narrative reality bending puzzle adventure.
Several weeks ago I gave a talk about the development of the game. I had caught me off guard that I had to hold it in English so please prepare for a bumpy ride.
P.S. I am working on my next project at the moment that maybe a fresh take on the infamous Eliza experiment. Stay tuned.
2 dreams support mail: email@example.com
2 Dreams is now complete (App Store) and ends with a grand finale.
I am glad my episodical iOS game is not a TV show. It would have already been canceled.
When I started work on my puzzle adventure "2 dreams" several weeks ago I kept risks small. This was just a little side project that I wanted to hit the app store as soon as possible. The goal was to make a small but atmospherical app that would be a good test run for deploying to the app store, a little bit of marketing and seeing how the idea of splitting app development into parts. The plan was to release part 1 first and expand the app every few weeks with a free update.
Today I want to share my experiences.
"2 dreams" hit the app store on monday the 14th of october after developing for about a month. I made a German and an English version to gain interest in my home country as well as internationally.
I knew that episode 1 was kind of short. An experienced puzzle gamer could play it in about five minutes. That was the reason why I decided not to contact gaming blogs because I was felt there was not enough content for a proper review. I wanted to keep that option for later.
Instead I relied heavily on the twitter community. My German account @zeitweise has about 11,000 followers, the English counterpart @sightwise about 375. I also mentioned the game twice on the well established Apple centered fanboys podcast which I am part of. The third puzzle piece in getting the word out was an article in the news section of a German board game website: Spielbox. This article came right out of nowhere but I am rather well known as a board game designer so this might have been of interest to the board gaming audience.
Sales figures on the first day were nice. The app spiked at position 89 in Germany followed by Austria and Switzerland. App store reviews were mostly favorable but as expected people noted the game was quite short. The volume of tweets mentioning the app was rather small. I saw some retweets but it was clear people were not really talking about "2 dreams".
While I was quite content with the sales in the first days it is more important how your app does in the long run. And if you have a look at the graph you will see that sales figures were dwindling soon.
But hey: This app is an episodical. Things would recover with the first update. Do you see the orange line? This is when the first update hit the store. Almost no effect.
Lessons learned:
I have sold 525 apps until now (about 50 for a non German speaking audience). I know this calculation is barely legit but this would mean about 4% of my German Twitter followers bought the app and about 13% of my English followers. That are great figures.
But customers did not get the word out. Maybe it was a mistake to release the app so early. Maybe I should have produced more content beforehand.
Social media was nice for an initial spike but not enough. So should I have reached out to the press? Obviously. But I am still thinking that is possible in the future.
About updates. With iOS7 Apple has changed its update policy. Updates now are seamlessly loaded in the background so nobody is aware of it. This is a problem for an adventure game because people just don't get back to the app. For future updates I will change the color of the icon so there is at least an indicator that something changed.
Do I regret my decisions and how does the future of "2 dreams" look? If the game would be a TV series I would have to cancel it. Future updates may only cost money. But this is not how to think if you are an indie developer. There is still a story to tell with this app and I will release updates until this is done. Risks are low because even if I'll lose money by putting extra work into "2 dreams" it is not very much. Some spare time. Not more.
All in all I have to say: "2 dreams" was an interesting experiment for me. And it still is. It is my first step into indie gaming and I think you have to keep trying. If I learned something with this app than it is the wisdom that being an indie developer is much more hard work than the fairy tales of super successful developers tell. I can live with that.
Get in touch: @sightwise
Update (Nov 14th): Episode 3 is now part of the App.
2 dreams (Universal iPhone/iPad on the iOS App Store).
"2 Dreams" is an episodical, atmospheric puzzle adventure in the world of dreams.
It's available on the App Store now (in English and German).
There is the saying the hardest thing in making games is to finish them. I think that is true. So if you are starting a side project it is especially important to limit yourself. It felt natural to follow a minimal concept.
2 Dreams lives by its restrictions. It focusses on quite abstract art and design and concentrates on the crazy ideas dreams are made of. It takes you on a journey with the narrator who is experiencing a recurring dream. Where will it go? What does it mean?
Although the overarching story already seems to be there there, the development of 2 Dreams is ongoing. 2 Dreams is an episodical adventure. At the end of each episode the player is presented with a puzzle that is not solvable within the current episode. Instead (s)he can make creative suggestions on Twitter how to proceed. The best ideas will influence the direction the game will take.
It's an experiment and I don't know if it will work. But I am looking forward to it and I will be glad about everyone who will support it.
I have taken a break from level design for the last two weeks in order to setup a more advanced sound system. I am using AudioToolkit from the asset store now. It was a little bit harder to setup than I thought but object pooling and managing audio groups like atmo, effects and music is great.
Atmo sounds are new to my project. I felt the scenery really profits from some atmospheric background.
Although AudioToolkit does some heavy lifting I had to write the music manager on my own. I don't want to just stitch song after song but have the music react a little bit faster to the actions of the player. I am not really sure if this is too much detail so I don't know if I'll keep this idea.
Another thing to consider is putting in voice over for the titles between levels. My girlfriend heavily votes in favor of this so I will test this effect. But this would mean that I need a native speaker as a voice actor. Huh! Didn't I plan to make a quite simple project?
On the release of the next beta: This will take a little bit longer than planned. I'll have to get the audio system up and running and want the first two chapters of the game first.

They're calling it the bond market's "ETF bid": The idea that passively managed funds, especially ETFs, inflate the prices of the corporate bonds they track. At first blush, it seems implausible. Exchange-traded funds, though fast-growing, still make up a tiny segment -- less than 0.5% -- of the $37 trillion bond market, according to BlackRock. But ETFs punch above their weight in factors like trading volume. Passive, rule-following funds (most ETFs) must deploy new cash immediately, which means they pay a premium when bond markets are rising. And they must sell to meet redemptions, even at a discount if markets are down. That matters when risk-averse dealers have shrunk their bond inventories to decade lows. Alongside ETFs' price transparency, those factors are creating a surprising new force in bonds, creating risks as well as opportunities for investors.
Goldman Sachs' Charles P. Himmelberg and Lotfi Karoui estimate that a monthly rebalanced portfolio of bonds tracked by the iBoxx $ Liquid Investment Grade Index has beaten comparable non-indexed bonds by roughly 4.7%, or about 1% a year, since the beginning of 2009. Index bonds also appear to sink harder during bad times, as they did late last year -- and that's not even counting what happens in riskier markets like high yield. The takeaway is something that experienced ETF traders already know: Never sell a fund like the passively managed $17 billion iShares iBoxx High Yield Corporate Bond ETF hyg 0.1675643327348893% iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF U.S.: NYSE Arca 83.69 0.14 0.1675643327348893% /Date(1464382800020-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 6223468 AFTER HOURS 83.71 0.019999999999996 0.023897717767953162% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 2119 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 5.476195483331342% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » (ticker: HYG) in a sour market if you can avoid it -- and buy it if you can.
Don't discount the new importance of ETFs in the bond markets. BlackRock blk 0.5480583861195263% BlackRock Inc.

As recently as last year, ETFs were driving less than 4% of high-yield bond trading. The Tabb Group's Henry Chien recently noted that ETF prices can serve as theoretical proxies for the price of underlying bonds, helping investors quickly detect even a slight change in what used to be an opaque market. The sheer existence of these more transparent trading vehicles is making investors better judges of pricing, which changes how they behave.
The rise of index investing is also creating opportunities in active management.

Manager Tim Gramatovitch stresses the hunt for value in bonds that index trackers are prohibited from owning. The SPDR fund can buy only a little more than a quarter of the available bond universe because it's barred from owning bonds from tranches below $600 million, he notes.
Gramatovitch recently warned clients that the passive funds "have no ability to deal with risks in the current credit market," on account of what he views as likely defaults, restructurings, or losses on called bonds. If the active strategy's outperformance in a "risk on" market seems surprising, it's at least partly explained by HYLD's superior 8.3% 12-month yield. If it keeps up, you'll know that the hunt for value outside indexes is real. The active strategy isn't without its trade-offs: The fund charges a mutual-fund-like 1.36% expense ratio.

Alabama remains atop AP poll
Published: Monday, September 9, 2013 at 10:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, September 9, 2013 at 10:47 a.m.
NEW YORK — Texas and Southern California dropped out of The Associated Press college football poll after ugly losses and Miami jumped in at No. 15 after its biggest victory in a while.
Alabama is still No. 1 after an off week, heading into a much-anticipated rematch with No. 6 Texas A&M on Saturday. Oregon is No. 2. Clemson moved up a spot to No. 3 and Ohio State slipped one to No. 4. Stanford remains No. 5.
LSU moved up to No. 8.
The Longhorns came into the weekend ranked 15th, but a 40-21 loss at BYU in which Texas allowed a school-record 550 yards rushing has Mack Brown's team unranked.
Southern California was No. 25 before a 10-7 loss at home to Washington State.
Miami is ranked for the first time since November 2010.

Chuck Klein
- Position(s):
- Born:
- October 7, 1904
- Bats:
- Left
- Throws:
- Right
- Height:
- 6'
- Weight:
- 185 lbs
- Major League Debut:
- 7-30-1928 with PHI
- Allstar Selections:
- Hall of Fame:
- 1980
Virtually forgotten by most baseball fans, Chuck Klein was a line-drive pull-hitter who took great advantage of his years in Philadelphia's Baker Bowl, which had favorable (to say the least) dimensions for a left-handed hitter. He won a batting title, a triple crown, and blasted four home runs in one game, but Klein rarely played for winning teams. His phenomenal success in his home park made some experts question his talent, but he ultimately overcame that stigma when he was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1980.
Unform Number
#3 (1932-1933, 1942), #6 (1934), #4 (1935-1936 Cubs), #32 (1936 Phillies), #36 (1936-1937 Phillies), #1 (1938), #26 (1939 Phillies, 1944), #14 (1939 Pirates), #29 (1940-1941), #8 (1943)
Replaced By
Stan Benjamin
Best Season
It's tempting to choose 1930 when Klein rapped out 250 hits and hit .386, or 1929 when he piled up 145 RBI, or 1931 when he scored 121 runs and had double-figures in doubles, triples and homers, or 1932 when he had 50 doubles, 38 homers and 20 steals and led the NL in slugging. But we'll take 1933, when he paced the league in batting (.368), OBP (.422) and slugging (.602), while also winning the triple crown (28 homers and 128 RBI). Klein led the loop with 44 doubles, 223 hits, 365 total bases and 79 extra-base hits.
Factoid 1
The Philadelphia Phillies had a .364 winning percentage in the seasons Klein was on the team, finishing a cumulative 614 games out of first place.
November 21, 1933: Traded by the Philadelphia Phillies to the Chicago Cubs for Ted Kleinhans, Mark Koenig, Harvey Hendrick, and $65,000 cash; May 21, 1936: Traded by the Chicago Cubs with Fabian Kowalik to the Philadelphia Phillies for Ethan Allen and Curt Davis. Klein was involved in one of the biggest transactions of his time, when he was dealt to the Chicago Cubs in November of 1932 for $65,000 and three players. At the time, some baseball experts suggested that deals involving so much money should be outlawed, claiming that all the great players would be gobbled up by the rich teams. Some things never change.
Hitting for extra-base power.
He was like a comet that streaked across the sky.
Clubbed four homers in one game, July 10, 1936; collected at least 200 hits in five straight season, 1929-1933; led the NL in total bases in four consecutive seasons, 1930-1933; hit five homers in a three-game stretch twice, and hit six in four games in 1929.
Was the Most Valuable Player of the National League in 1932; All-Star in 1933 and 1934. Klein was second in NL MVP voting in both 1931 and 1933, but since there was no award in 1930, he missed out on a possible second MVP honor... Klein is one of the few players to lead his league in both home runs and stolen bases during his career. He led the NL in steals in 1932, and in homers in 1933.

WNYC Broadcasts From One of the First Anti-Nazi Rallies Held in the U.S.
Dr. John Haynes Holmes addressed tens of thousands at an anti-Nazi rally in Battery Park on May 10, 1933, broadcast over WNYC. The Pastor of the Community Church recalled his earlier protests of the pogroms against the Jews in Czarist Russia and said, Hitler was "more cruel than the Czar."
Holmes went on to say, "Millions of American men and women today stand ready to denounce Hitler and his activities, regardless of race or creed. There is no liberty in Germany today. We are told we should not protest the persecution of Jews in Germany because it will endanger their safety there. The protest against the Hitler government is the outspoken opinion of mankind."
Pastor Holmes was joined before the microphones by former Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby, former Congressman Fiorello H. La Guardia, labor leader David Dubinsky, Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, and many other Jewish leaders. The anti-Nazi rally followed a three mile march by 100,000 demonstrators from Madison Square to Battery Park and was organized by the American Jewish Congress. The march and rally were among the first major public protests against Hitler since his coming to power several months earlier. Simultaneous demonstations were held in Chicago, Philadelphia and Paris.
Meanwhile in German university towns, Nazi youth grouths and students gathered around bonfires to burn books deemed 'anti-German' and 'anti-Aryan.' These included works by Sigmund Freud, Albert Einstein, Bertolt Brecht, Karl Marx and Thomas Mann. Rabbi Wise told radio listeners and those attending the rally, "This will stand as a tragic day in the annals of the German people, for they have done an ignoble deed which after a time they will choose not to remember, but which history will not let them forget."
Broadcast on WNYC today in:
1927: Captain Roald Amundsen and Lincoln Ellsworth are honored by the American Scenic and Historic Preservation Society at the American Museum of National History. The two flyers led an expedition which traveled by dirigible across the North Pole from Spitzbergen, Norway to Alaska in the Spring of 1926.
1945: Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia in his regular weekly Talk to the People reads some excerpts from President Roosevelt's fourth innaugural address delivered the previous day. He introduces it this way: "I am going to talk about the patience we must have before victory comes and the fortitude to take whatever comes. Yesterday, at twelve-o-clock, the President of the United States was inducted into office. Called into service by a mighty draft board consisting of all the American people - a willing inductee who did not claim exemption for having served three previous hitches. The candidate of a political party became the President of all Americans; Commander-in-Chief of all our armed forces; the leader of 135,000,000 people at war. His is the responsibility of leadership, ours is the responsibility of cooperation and following. We must all do more, we are not doing enough. If we need inspiration, let me quote now..."
1954: The New York Herald Tribune Books and Authors Luncheon. Today's speakers are: Admiral Leslie Cark Stevens, Nebraska author Mari Sandoz and diplomat Chester Bowles.
1963: Fund for the Republic's 10th Annual Convocation. Speeches on the subject of technology by historian Lewis Mumford and Gerard Piel, Editor of the Scientific American. Admiral Hyman Rickover, Harrison Brown of the California Institute of Technology and Sol M. Linowitz, Chairman of the Board of Xerox Corporation are critical of the presentation.
1995: The Poet's Voice: William Carlos Williams. Williams, a New Jersey pediatrician, fathered a new movement in American poetry. His verse, deceptively simple and direct, is full of observations and expansive feeling.
2007: In this edition of The No Show, Steve Post reveals yet more of his darkest secrets (what might his lightest secrets be?) as he discusses "The Sweet Science versus A Back Rub" or "How a Pacifist Learns to Love Violence." Musical selections will reflect this ominous turn of mind while studiously avoiding overt references to any recent elections, winners, losers, or whatever. Same difference. This program is recycled from November 9, 2002, and would make really good compost.
