10 Days of Front Panel Testing (or why I'm Not a Games Reviewer)
It can be hard to appreciate how unwelcoming and difficult games reviewing can be. Recently our intrepid writer Lois dipped her toes into dangerous waters…
This was always going to be an arduous process, trying to get somewhere inaccessible like that. It is just how it is. But unlike trying to climb a rapidly downward moving escalator or scale shifting Saharan sands, I didn't know that this game wasn't going to be played. So I made a game of trying to play it, and all in all it was fun, and as a non-gamer, quite possibly more fun than if I had played it!
So what happened? Well first of all my dear friend, ever reliable Tom made it clear that there was a game to be reviewed. I accepted the challenge. Well, I more insisted on taking it. No one would have thought that it was for me. Except me.
I excitedly received the links, the use of which would lead me to the game I was to review. This was going to be technical, but I was keen on seeing what I could do. First of all the FTP link alerted me to the fact there were web pages that didn't start with the letters "H T T P", so this was already a learning experience. And I was delighted when on using the user name and password to access the page. I felt I had entered a secret web-world.
And so from within this slimy walled, dark and cavernous kingdom of gamers – on a page which, to be honest, was mostly white with four tiny yellow folders – I looked around and I knew that from among these sparse pale golden treasures, I would find the game. After a brief click on the press kit I decided on the setup.exe option. And Score!!! "Downloading in 2hours". Nice.
Two hours later and download was complete. I had read around this type of game. I'd seen reviews of Point and Click games from the 90's until today. I'd heard people's takes on their top ten ever, and I knew that this was going to be hard pressed to match the likes of Siberia II or Full Throttle. But it didn't have to, it only needed to be played and reviewed. Unfortunately at this point it disappeared. I found it again, an icon nonchalantly sitting on my desktop and clicked. And this time when I clicked for it to start my whole screen flashed blank. Windows (XP SP3, though at the time I didn't know that) then reappeared vertically on my horizontal 2006 model laptop before the screen again flashed and normality was resumed. Despite this being unsettling, I repeated the attempt to open the game and went through this small ordeal again.
Something was up, and like the detective in the game I was supposed to be playing, I had to find out what. I spoke to a helpful gamer in New York. A man who felt that taking more than four minuets for responding to an online message warranted an apology (i.e. he was always online). I assumed that he did require the occasional use of washrooms, even if I was loathe to admit it. And perhaps that he took his laptop in a waterproof cover into the shower. Making no further comment on his timely response beyond "thank you" I discussed the situation.
Admittedly, I had seen the system requirements in that cavernous portal. It was there as a label on one of those tiny yellow folders. Now I was going to have to read it. Only problem was, and this was the same reason I had not read it earlier: I wouldn't know if the system on my laptop matched the requirements because I didn't know my specifications. Time for help source number two. A more local friend talked me through it and I was soon aware that my laptop wasn't going to play the game because it was short on some RAM, or something.
I thought about other computers which I could use and the same friend offered to download it to their own. They took a thirty minuet train journey and arrived laptop-in-rucksack, only to find that I didn't know the network key for my wifi and that the person who did was flying planes at a summer aviation course. So we had tea and the next day I went to the laptop owner's home and using their own internet tried to again reach the Caves of Point and Click.
To summarize, caves didn't show up and although the help desk at Hoodwink headquarters were able to remedy that, when we finally downloaded the game the only part that worked was a small snippet of the introduction to the futuristic spy-themed story line. Even on this fully system requirement-meeting machine it simply self exited leaving nothing but that small Borsalino – hat wearing icon. Hoodwinked indeed.

The game has 2 control modes which you can pick the usual virtual button as
well as tilt mode. If you've created a game or app
that you believe should cost money to be downloaded, that is an obvious way to
make an income. Even though Apple still refuses to
allow Flash on the i – OS platform, there is now a way to play at least some popular Flash-based games on the i – Pad.

Hi there! I understand this is sort of off-topic but
I had to ask. Does building a well-established website like yours take a large amount of work?
I'm brand new to running a blog but I do write in my diary every day.

What's more surprising than two stars stepping out in this Balenciaga cape top? The $1,075 price tag. Even crazier than that? It's already sold out.

We imagine that, as a woman with her own jewelry line, Nicole Richie owns a lot of necklaces (we envision a treasure chest filled with edgy bling). But despite all her options, she keeps reaching for the same "Azure Mosaic" collar.
From: I Really Love My: Jessica's Purse and More Star Faves!
If you need some packing inspiration for your upcoming holiday vacation, you might want to turn to Nicole's casual look (worn to the Baby2Baby event in L.A.). The star teams her soft statement coat with a white tee, black skinnies and flats.
Nicole's House of Harlow 1960 earrings and necklace were designed and made just for her – which is why we're guessing she opted for a slicked-back blue do – to show them off. Complementary shadow and a nude lip finished the look.
From: The Prettiest Beauty Looks From the PEOPLE Magazine Awards
Fringe clutch? Sheer sleeves? Cut-to-there bodice? And of course, that blue hair: Nicole checks all our "Signature Nicole Style" boxes in her black jumpsuit. (Plus: Check out her custom – of course – jewels from her own House of Harlow 1960 line.)
Looks like someone's angling for a spot in our Wacky Ways to Show Skin gallery! The Candidly Nicole star fêtes her show at an AOL event in L.A. wearing a black Blumarine gown with swaths of floral print, mesh and sheer lace.
We've ogled her cutout dress enough (worn to the American Music Awards in L.A.), now it's time to focus on Nicole's hair. The front part is teased and it's pinned in the back, while the side sections are slicked down and tucked in tightly underneath.
Leave it to the star to shock us with her hair multiple times this year. She first stepped out with a purple hue that rivaled Kelly Osbourne's lavender shade, before getting a case of the blues (and dark blues too).
From: The Biggest (and Most Surprising) Hair Changes of 2014
Two reasons we love Nicole's Vera Wang gown at the Footwear News Achievement Awards in N.Y.C.: It complements her deep teal tresses and the print reminds us of an enchanted forrest. (But it would be nice if we could actually see her footwear!)
Who knew she had it in her? Nicole Richie demonstrates a surprise talent – rapping! – while taking the stage at the VH1 You Oughta Know Live concert on Thursday night at N.Y.C.'s Hammerstein Ballroom.
Looks like someone's angling for a spot in our Wacky Ways to Show Skin gallery! The Candidly Nicole star fêtes her show at an AOL event in L.A. wearing a black Blumarine gown with swaths of floral print, mesh and sheer lace.
Moving from one extreme to the next. Since everyone in Hollywood keeps trying to capture the star's signature purple locks, she chooses to start a whole new hair trend – bright blue.
Nicole tested the (purple) waters by posting a digitally enhanced Insta that made her dirty-blonde strands look purple. The nearly 100,000 likes must have convinced her to do it for real.
She was just another rich reality starlet when she appeared alongside childhood pal Paris Hilton on the hit FOX series The Simple Life, which attracted 13 million viewers in 2003. But after a falling out with Hilton, the show was canceled; when it was picked up by E!, the duo chose to film separately. Soon she was facing more heat, this time for her drastic weight loss and a DUI.
The comeback: The star began focusing on family life with beau (now husband) Joel Madden and their children Harlow and Sparrow. She also put her energy into designing, launching several successful fashion labels bearing her name.
It's never just basic black for Nicole! She accents this super-low-backed dress (check out those cutouts!) with an emerald green necklace and cuffs (both her own design, of course) for the launch of her House of Harlow Fall 2014 jewelry line in NYC.
In case you were unclear on Nicole's signature gown style, she reminds you at the Met Ball by picking a frame-hugging Donna Karan Atelier design with barely-there straps and a rear view that shows a whole lotta skin.
From: What's Her Best Side?
Fashion fact: Florals are huge right now. So of course the style risk-taker is going all out via a bloom-printed Givenchy topper. Paired with J Brand leather pants, sexy pumps and purple hair, she proves you can make a pretty pattern totally edgy. (And no, we don't expect you to swipe the purple hair part.)
From: Love Her Outfit!
This is not your average shirtdress – but then again we never expect anything average from Nicole. She teams a plunging, cutout Anthony Vaccarello design with pointy-toed nude Gianvito Rossi shoes at the "Luxury Redefined" event in L.A.
We love that while most women permanently retired blue shadow along with slap bracelets and Trapper Keepers years ago, Elle Fanning and Nicole Richie are bringing back the retro makeup look full-force.
Well, the see-through skirt trend is still going strong! Nicole goes goth in all black (a Jenny Packham top and SAFiYAA skirt) with metallic pointy heels while promoting Candidly Nicole in West Hollywood.
She sure can balance! Nicole Richie strikes a pose at VH1's Candidly Nicole premiere party in West Hollywood on Monday.
Is it strange that we think the most noteworthy part of this outfit isn't the bra-baring mint lace crop top or the lavender hair, but rather the extremely wide-leg pleated white pants Nicole wears to Licensing Expo in Vegas?
Feeling blue, Nicole? Richie debuts her new hair hue Monday on Good Morning America in N.Y.C.
Is it strange that we think the most noteworthy part of this outfit isn't the bra-baring mint lace crop top or the lavender hair, but rather the extremely wide-leg pleated white Alberta Ferretti pants Nicole wears to Licensing Expo in Vegas?
A lacy crop top is all Nicole Richie needs to turn heads at Tuesday's Licensing Expo in Las Vegas.
Nicole Richie finds herself on the other side of the mic on Friday while shooting scenes in L.A. for her upcoming VH1 show Candidly Nicole.
Sure, every guest was special at the December 2010 wedding of Richie, 29, and Madden, 31, which took place at the Beverly Hills estate of the bride's father Lionel Richie, but one really stood out: an elephant. The pachyderm was among the 155 guests invited to the Versailles-inspired fete. "Nicole getting an elephant and not telling me is typical of our relationship," the groom said of Richie's whimsical good-luck charm. "But if there's one time I want her to have the craziest thing she wants, it's the day we marry."
How do you make sure that, when you wear a sweatshirt to work or for a night out, people know it's a fashion item and not a sleepwear item? By picking one with seriously strong shoulders, as Nicole Richie did.

Thanks to an L.A. farm-share service called Summerland, the style icon got a colorful delivery of carrots, beets, radishes and rhubarb right to her doorstep.

They're both super stylish, hard working and loving moms, so it was no surprise when Jessica Alba and Nicole Richie popped up in the Caribbean together in April 2013 for a best buds beach weekend.

It's date night for Nicole Richie and husband Joel Madden, who take in Cyrus's Saturday concert at the Los Angeles Staples Center.
The style star, who has parlayed her hippie chic flair into multiple fashion lines, including Winter Kate clothing and House of Harlow 1960 accessories, hit the big leagues at this year's Met Gala when model Britt Maren wore a Winter Kate gown down the haute red carpet. With handbags now a part of her accessories range, Nicole's signature boho style is soon to be on arms everywhere.

The parents share two pretty special gifts: daughter Harlow, 6, and son Sparrow, 4. So what'd Madden give Richie for her 32nd birthday last September? "I will stop referring to u as my baby mom to all my friends & people I don't know," he quipped to his wife.
From: 10 Celeb Tweethearts
Nicole Richie loves to model her own designs, especially the more affordable ones (like this House of Harlow gold arrowhead pendant, $75, and stackable rings, $75), proving that statement bling doesn't have to leave you with a painful credit card statement.
She was the Trendsetter of 2013, and judging by her asymmetrical dress, leather pants, draped jacket and choker ensemble at the Antonio Berardi dinner in Beverly Hills, we think Nicole is vying for the style "Daredevil" title of 2014.
Nicole Richie keeps it simply chic to attend a private dinner for designer Antonio Berardi Tuesday in Beverly Hills.

New York Family Claims $35,000,000 Mega Millions Jackpot
For 77-year-old Abraham Silverbush of Syracuse, Onondaga County, the morning of May 30, 2009 began with a routine call to his local New York Lottery hotline to check the winning numbers from the previous night's Mega Millions drawing worth $35,000,000. The rest of the day and every day since have been far from ordinary for Silverbush, his wife and their five children as the family absorbed the news they were the sole winners of the $35,000,000 Mega prize.
"All my life I have worked multiple jobs to support my family," said Abraham, the owner of the Silverbush Upholstery Shop in Syracuse. "My first reaction was this cannot be true. I still don't really believe it is true."
Silverbush said he and his wife, Celia, routinely pooled their money with their four sons and one daughter to purchase Lottery tickets for the fun of it, using a "secret system" to select the numbers played. But he admitted, this is the first time his "system" ever yielded a return of this magnitude.
"Twenty-two thousand dollars was the most we've ever won in the past," said the elder Silverbush. "Far from $35,000,000."
Silverbush purchased the family's $35,000,000 winning Mega Millions ticket at Chase's Cigar Store on James St. in Eastwood on the morning of the May 29th drawing. The family claimed their prize at the Lottery's Syracuse Customer Service Center on June 8, 2009; opting to receive one lump sum payment totaling $22,249,691, less required tax withholdings. The family will net $14,691,471.
"I guess you could say the family that plays together gets paid together," said Bradley Silverbush, a practicing Manhattan attorney and the first Silverbush sibling to learn of their parent's Mega fortune. "Our parents are hard working people who taught their children great values. We have been fortunate all along."
In addition to Bradley, 53, other members of the Silverbush Family Partnership to share the $35,000,000 cash prize include:
* Abraham Silverbush, 77, Syracuse business owner and "jack of all trades"
* Celia Silverbush, 73, a 4th grade teacher at the Franklin Magnet School of Arts in Syracuse
* Mark Silverbush, 47, an assistant director at the LaSalle School for Boys in Albany
* Jeffrey Silverbush, 44, an attorney now living in New York City
* Bnai Silverbush, 37, also a practicing attorney in Syracuse
* Edward "ER" Silverbush, 31, a marketing consultant in Syracuse
So what does the Silverbush Family plan to do with a $35,000,000 windfall? "Family trips and college tuitions" top the list for most family members. "We already made our first purchase as a group," said Abraham, the family patriarch. "We bought a fireproof safe to store the ticket while we decided what to do next."
In addition to paying the $35,000,000 prize to the Silverbush Family Partnership, the Lottery also awarded a $10,000 bonus to Chase's Cigar Store for selling a jackpot-winning Mega Millions ticket.
The New York Lottery contributed nearly $2.54 billion in fiscal year 2008-09 to help support education in New York State, over 12 percent of total state education funding to local school districts. The Lottery's ongoing commitment to education also includes the awarding of more than 1,100 Leaders of Tomorrow (LOT) Scholarships annually to high school students pursuing their higher education in New York State. Since 1999, the Lottery has awarded more than 11,500 scholarships representing a total commitment of almost $50 million. The New York Lottery continues to be North America's largest and most profitable Lottery, earning over $36.7 billion in education support statewide since its founding over 40 years ago.

In order to encourage more adoptions and a more positive image, Florida's Orange County Animal Services will no longer label dogs as to their breeds reports the Orlando Weekly.
Dogs will now be described by their personalities, preferences, and potentials. Months of discussions with local animal advocates meeting with advisory board members are in agreement that dogs in the past who have been mislabeled (i.e. pit bulls) have had a harder time finding new homes.
Breed Specific Legislation (BSL) requires all dogs to be categorized by breed. Are you able to spot a "pit bull" or perhaps a German shepherd mix? Most of us are not breed identification experts, but research shows that animal control officers and even veterinarians are not trained to be experts either.
Where most people are able to pick out a purebred dog and identify its breed, more than 75% of the dogs are mixed breeds with mysterious lineage, and even more confusing is that most mixed breed dogs span several generations of interbreeding making an accurate assessment even more difficult. If a German shepherd mates with a French poodle and produces a "French shepherd," can we be sure generations back if a boxer or an American Staffordshire entered into the mating game?
Most breed identifications are subjective. DNA tests are not accurate or cheap either; they only encompass a small percentage of the dog breeds currently listed.
Specific dogs breeds are not inherently dangerous; particular dogs are dangerous and that is more than likely the fault of the person who trained the dog.
And on a positive note towards the end of BSL, the Feb. 4 post on the Facebook page of the Orange County Animal Services states:
"The world today is a richly diverse mix of humanity, and our shelter pets are no less intricate and distinctive. Each animal is unique, brimming with its own personality, preferences, and potential.
Orange County Animal Services receives approximately 20,000 pets every year. In an effort to afford every four-legged friend the greatest opportunity to find a forever home, Orange County Animal Services will remove breed identification from kennel cards and on our website at www.ocnetpets.com.
Our goal is to break down barriers associated with breed descriptions, leaving behind any division or stigma associated with breed classifications so that each pet can find a perfect match with a loving forever home. By allowing shelter pets to defy description, each pet can overcome any labels that might limit chances of adoption.
We hope this endeavor will boost adoption numbers for shelter pets. We want to be as effective as possible, and we welcome your feedback regarding this move."

use, spending most of her waking hours playing in her kayak at Black Bear Hole here in Lyons, and traveling to freestyle kayak competitions around the state. Last month at the Lyons Outdoor Games she placed second in the Junior Division, and then last weekend at the GoPro Games Fankhouser competed directly against the pro women. She placed fifth out of thirteen women the first day in the preliminaries, and moved onto the semi-finals. There she placed seventh (the top five moved on to finals), an impressive accomplishment given she was the youngest competitor by many years.

Welsh almanacs collection (16th-20th C.)
Almanacs were calendars containing a range of information, including: astronomical, astrological, medical, and agricultural notes; dates of markets and fairs; descriptions of routes between towns; chronologies of historical events; poems and anecdotes; predictions of weather; and all sort of information for practical use.
The Salisbury collection contains c. 1,000 Welsh almanacs, published as broadsheets, booklets, or newspaper supplements, and ranging in date from the 17th century to the 20th century. Related to the collection is a set of English almanacs in the Cardiff Rare Books collection.

Lindsay Lohan Is Cured of Lesbian
Lindsay Lohan and boyfriend Sam as they shop in Paris. Lohan was recently cured of gay lesbian and now is on the road to true mental recovery.
After many weeks of praying we see Lindsay Lohan has been cured of lesbian!
I prayed till sweat came down my brow for this poor girl. I remember back when she was a young actress and my daughters enjoyed her comical performances in movies. Then, one day, someone tricked Lindsay into becoming a Hollywood lesbian.
After this all the typical lesbian stuff happened to her; wild parties, cocaine drugs, bulimia, anorexic, whore vampire and even drunk driving. Desperate and gross, Lindsay started to bare her body and expose her nudity for all the world to see for attention.
She did this because her mind was broken and not working right. If it were, she would have been seeking out a man to potentially marry. Now we see our prayers have finally been accepted into Lindsay's heart and she is trying to straighten her life out again.
Just you watch. She will next announce she quits drugs and be in good movies soon enough again, and then she will make a VH1 video about how she turned her life back around through Christ and renouncing those gay thoughts that crept into her heart and mind.
Bless you Lindsay Lohan and good look with your new proper relationship.
- Excited
- Fascinated
- Amused
- Shocked
- Sad
- Angry

Robin Williams has passed away. The Oscar-winning actor and comedian allegedly committed suicide in his home in California. According to a Monday, August 11 report by The Washington Post, Robin Williams died of asphyxia after battling depression.
Robin Williams was one of the most beloved actors and comedians of his generation. He started his career as "Mork" on "Happy Days." That character was given his own sitcom, "Mork and Mindy." After that, Williams' career blossomed and thrived for more than three decades.
"I loved Robin Williams in 'Jakob the Liar,'" Terri Waters, a fan of Williams from Oklahoma City, said. "I think that was one of his best roles. Even though it is about the Holocaust, he made parts of it funny as he tried to hide the ugliness from his son."
"Jakob the Liar" is just one of Williams' many roles on the big screen. He starred in over 30 movies. Robin Williams won an Oscar for his role of Sean Maguire in "Good Will Hunting." He also had a starring role as John Keating in "Dead Poets Society." Other Robin Williams' movies include "A.I. Artificial Intelligence," "What Dreams May Come," "Jack" and "Popeye."
"I thought he was brilliant in 'Dead Poets Society,'" Mary Wilson, another fan of Williams from Moore, said. " He was such a talented genius. Funny or serious, Robin Williams always made his character real to me. He had a way of touching us with the wit or wisdom of his roles."
Robin Williams was born in Chicago in 1951. He was raised in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. Williams' classmates voted him the funniest and most likely to succeed his senior year in high school. He attended Clarement where studied political science and then won a scholarship to Julliard School in New York after taking a class in improvisational comedy. His classmates included William Hurt, Mandy Patinkin and Christopher Reeve.
"I am too sad for words," Jenny Webber, from Oklahoma City, said. "I just stared at the TV. I couldn't believe that Robin Williams was gone. I can't imagine what could make him so sad, so hopeless, to take his own life. He was so talented and loved by millions."
At the time of publication, there was no information about a memorial service for Robin Williams. The great actor and comedian will mourned by millions around the world.

Visualizing A POMO Market: How The Fed Added 400 Points To The S&P
- Printer-friendly version
- Oct 18, 2010 6:43 PM
- 57
Thanks for posting this graph!
....yes, kudos to TD !!
nice.... but POMO or no-POMO we have some measure of recovery--- and as such the fact that POMO seems to be correlated with market upside---- we also might note that "the year" ending in "08" is responsibel for market downside. the correlations are as interesting to me as the rainfall in Switzerland and its *PERFECT* correlation to S&P-500 performance. POMO does keep rates locked down, and in the abselce of this, we might see lower markets, but in reality, with T-30 @ 7.5% and short rates @ 4% (1993-1995) we had an S&P hobbling along @ 15X earnings post-recession and S&L Crisis. today we have S&P 13X earnings (50% from overseas) and only 4% T-30 rates.
by those measures, we should likely see the S&P 500 add another 15 points.

Dear "relentless self-promoter",
Look yourself in the mirror while you have one last shred of decency. Ask yourself to do the right thing. tell your clients to sell all stocks and bonds, fire you immediately, and buy gold.
If you wish to keep your job, then perhaps you can recommend managing a small portfolio of long food and energy futures on their behalf (to compliment their precious metals) for a very small fee.
consider the wisdom.
tell your clients to sell all stocks and bonds, fire you immediately, and buy gold.
You are, without a doubt, one of the most complete and utter morons to post on the ZH site in the history of its existence.
End of report.
Talk to me when the dividend yield of the S&P and the P/E are on par with one another as has happened at all bear market bottoms. The 2009 bottom produced a dividend yield of only 4% which I can assure you was far less than the P/E at that time. For the past 20 years everyone has only cared about capital appreciation which is kind of like playing a game of hot potato.
for the past 30 years interest rates have declined from 20% to (less than) 0%. The days of "all boats rise in a rising tide" capital appreciation are over.
commence knife fight.
Forward this link to your Portuguese friends
say "Brazilian friends" and your words would have more impact. Portugese friends?
News just out today from the MAS shows the economy hit a brick wall, contracting an unprecedented 19.8 % quarter on quarter.
According to DBS Bank, this is a record sequential contraction and one that is worse than the supposedly
"free-fall" in GDP experienced in the recent US financial crisis, the slump during the
dot.com bust as well as the doldrum during the Asia financial crisis.
Indeed, noted DBS, growth wouldn't have fallen by more dramatic fashion than this
considering that we had a record expansion not too long ago in the first quarter.
Sharp pullbacks in production from the volatile pharmaceutical segment have
brought down overall industrial production in recent months. "And the
exceptionally high comparison base in 1H10 further amplifies the drop. That is, it's
drug effects plus technical payback!"
"But isolating these volatilities, Singapore's underlying growth momentum is
slowing and much in line with the normalization process in Asia with the V-shaped
recovery turning into a square root shape. And more than ever before, the
prospect of the Singapore economy is more closely tied to Asia than anywhere in
the world. Hence, this normalization process that is currently underway in Asia will
soon be manifested in Singapore's economic growth numbers, except with some
doses of volatilities coming from the pharmaceutical industry from time to time.
Our full year GDP growth remains at 15%," noted DBS
The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) surprised the market yet again after
the "double-barrel" move in April. This time, the MAS has steepened the slope of
the Sing NEER policy band as well as widened the width of the band. While it could
reflect the general optimism in terms of growth outlook by the authority, it is also a
pre-emptive move to address inflationary concern ahead. Indeed, the focus is on
inflation in the coming months as external inflationary pressure is expected to pick
up on higher commodity prices. Moreover, with the prospect of another
quantitative easing move by the US Fed, inflows will be strong and upward
pressure on the SGD will be even greater. The widening of the band will in some
ways cater to an anticipated greater volatility in the FX market going forward, noted DBS.
they should administer this POMO in the form of a little blue pill.
Yeah, but should we call Dr Bernanke if the erection lasts more than four months?
they should administer this POMO in the form of a little blue pill.
Suppository you mean. Because despite what your told, you ain't pitching. Rather you and I are catching, like it or not.
I suppose you could swallow it, but I want faster relief when the Fed is dry humping me.
lolol, cd! that anal ring thing IS sticking with you isn't it?
though your point is sad but true.
Would anyone ever reasonably expect a canary to survive in a coal mine?
In the old days coal miners took canaries to work with them. Canaries are more sensitive to poison gas than coal miners. When the canary fell off its perch it was the time to get the hell out.
So yes, they were supposed to survive unless there was poison gas in the air, then they were supposed to die first and save the miners' lives.
Tyler, !ehbelow400! *cough*cough* .... Excuse me
Is this representative of the open and close price on POMO days? or the few hours that POMO is going on?
In several instances certainly over the last month or so, there have been several red POMO days that do not reflect the fact that the market was down >1% in the morning after some bad news but finished off down/up only a few 1/10th's.
It might be telling to see the effect from the morning low to the close.
My reaction to POMO is still "so what"? Well, almost.
It's MEANT to be a stimulus and it stimulates.
You can disagree with the intent to stimulate, but the results of the stimulus are pretty clear. I don't believe that the financial markets are necessarily the right place to get the best multiplier (I'm not a supply-sider), but if the thesis is that the Fed's converting bonds into cash moves cash to other alternatives, then per this chart, clearly the thesis works.
Until it doesn't.....
Well, yeah, but we're scarcely talking about a hypervalued market here.
So eventually they stop quantitative easing and the market dives. So you wait and go short.
Again, it's just kind of a "so what" to me. I mean it's an important liquidity factor, but there doesn't seem to be any take-away beyond that.
Again, I agree that POMO stimulates. I'm not a supply-sider so I don't think you get the best multiple with that kind of stimulation, but it's a theory.
"we don't know" that's the problem. the theory that "the Fed is bailing out Wall Street" has "more than a little merit." But what is the point? again..."it is to bail out government." if you're "looking for a ruling class" behind it all you're not going to find it. they're called "departments" and they care not one wit about your words, your ethnicity, your name, where you come from, what you stand for (and believe me you're in big trouble if you do that) and least of all "you personally." in other words "forget mere fiat money" this is "fiat interest rates." there are however "contradictions" and "dialectics" as Hegel so deeply spoke of "back in the day."
Well, I'm sympathetic to the view that there are, perhaps, dialectical-level forces here - in a metaphorical sense.
But the idea that government's bailing out Wall Street is government bailing out government is more than a little bizarre. I mean, if you want to contend that Wall Street is the government (de facto) then I'm sympathetic to that, but then you'd have to explain the fairly significant amount of friction and lack of coordination between those two entities.
Besides, it all seems a little mechanistic.
There is not much of a relative money multiplier in GDP numbers, thus this pumping is buying time for hopeful improvement in the economy. Its a leap call on hope that will show rapid time decay if GDP numbers continue to falter.
Have you considered the effects of widespread bond defaults on local and state government retirement pension funds? Government insured retirement funds? I remember reading that BP's little problem in the GOM put 12% of UK retirement pension's cash flow at risk. Hard to find a gubment official motivated purely by the common good.
The bankers tried to stimulate RCA and the entire market in 1930, albeit by more crude paper order means. The gamblers jumped right on it. Bucket shops . Unhappily, the force of gravity easily took it down.
This is kind of like trying to decide whether to date the girl with big fake boobs or the girl with the real big deal. Both can stimulate, I guess.
the results of the stimulus are pretty clear. clearly the thesis works.
cocaine stimulates us. lets have it every morning to start the day. "the results of the stimulus are pretty clear. clearly the thesis works."
I don't remember my econ books talking about an economy requiring govt money printing for a healthy economy, but perhaps they should..
41.8 million americans on SNAP disagree with you.
So how's the POMO paradigm doing priced in gold?
For the last couple of months, (maybe longer?) gold outpaces the S&P when the meltups happen. Hedge funds? Soverign frontrunning? FX impact?
I commented below: the 'non-POMO' line looks almost exactly like a gold adjusted SPX line.
Clearly POMO is stimulating everything at the same time - hence the fantastic degree of correlation (or inverse correlation) in almost all the markets.
But you can't say gold is being stimulated by POMO (and HFT) on this blog, because you'd be making an argument that gold is just another relative market, not a reference market.
It's pretty clear to me that gold is moving with the bond market with the prices in both markets being pushed up by stimulus.
You might want to look at a $USB:$GOLD daily chart for the past three months.
Pity the meek and poor in spirit investing in 401k mutual funds and ETF's, for they shall inherit nothing.
However, I suspect that a lot of you ZH readers, supposedly better informed on markets, are still playing the crooked market.
exactly. "it is hard work driving the market higher" but towards what end? now if the ZH plan is to "break the back of everything" believe me everyone in America understands: work and more importantly innovation are not being rewarded "in the economy" relative to "real money" tho certainly for a select few "in the monetary marketplace." being "unfair to the entire state of Illinois" however does strike me as "not good for the country." But, hey..."we had to destroy the town to save it" has a long history to it, too. In short "when dealing with DC...they're going to do what they're going to do." It's what Al Gore's lawyer told him when he lost "Bush v Gore." He said "there is no higher authority." On the ironic side it appears the Fed can "bail out those who refuse to pay their taxes as well."
In the fine print does it say the bank cannot use the POMO money to go short?
Everybody knows
A little place like nopomo
Now if you wanna go
And get away from it all
Go down to nopomo
We'll get there fast
And then we'll take it slow
That's where we wanna go
Way down to nopomo
Ungrateful bastard ... you're supposed to thank Uncle Ben and the Sons of 33 Liberty for helping us all feel so much richer.
There is always intervention in the markets.
Because there are always the very wealthy opportunists who engage in the sport of shanking the young hedge funds, money managers, and traders.
They play around with these guys like a cat and mouse game.
Just using a small piece of their liquidity to bat around some unsuspecting players trying to get rich quick.
Today's POMO's are nothing compared to the Rockefellers, Morgans, Livermore, etc. who singlehandedly could move the market by teaming up with 4 or 5 of their buddies and engage in bear raids, u-turn reversals, power spikes, or whatever was necessary to throw the young guys off guard.
Sorry, Gold is just an investment fad. Soon to the be exposed scam based off endless cheap promo's and moon shot expectations sold to the stupidest of people like me. I'm so glad I'm stupid.
Funny - the 'non-POMO' line looks almost exactly like a gold adjusted SPX line.
POMO this, you fuckers.

POMO: An acronym used by rookie traders in failed attempts to explain the "mysterious" impact of massive liquidity on equities
He completely misses exposing Wall Street, tries to milk the Foreclosure mess after Zerohedge (Mako) and Market Ticker have been all over it for years. Well done, maybe he can give us a heads up on the Y2K problem coming up!

Good effort, Timmy.

This recent episode of "Faking It," titled "Homecoming Out," aired on MTV about two BFFs named Amy and Karma, who are trying desperately to fit in at their high school. Amy is played by Rita Volk, and Karma is played by Katie Stevens. In the pilot episode, they decided to pretend they were gay to fit in with the crowd at this liberal high school they attend. When they were elected to run for Homecoming Queens, things started getting interesting.
As the episode begins, Karma is making love to Liam, who she really loves, but the alarm rings and ends her dream. When she turns over, Amy is in her bed, and they start kissing. But the alarm rings, and ends Amy's dream. So each is dreaming about who they are in love with, but things are not the same. When Amy finally comes to, she throws the alarm clock at the door, but it is open, as her evil step-sister Lauren is measuring her room and decides she is taking it over because she lost her crown to Amy and Karma. If Amy does not go along with it, she will tell her parents that she is a lesbian.
In Karma's room, Amy is relating the story about Lauren to her best friend, when her parents come in to congratulate them for coming out. Karma's parents are super-liberal and thrilled that these two are lovers as well as friends.
At school, they are collecting for the Homecoming Dance. When Lauren attempts to get tickets, she is being charged $50 because she is bringing her boyfriend. Those with dates of the same sex, get in free. As Karma keeps running into Liam, the sparks continue to fly between them.
Amy wants Shane to be her date for the prom, just so her mother sees her with a boy. He promised himself when he came out, that he would never do that again, but when she reminded him, it was his fault she was in this mess; he agreed. Then she told him to butch it up a bit, at least while they were together in front of her parents.
While Karma and Liam were together, when he reached to unbuckle her belt, she hesitated and then told him it was her first time with a guy. When she gave him the go ahead, someone walked into the art studio, so that ended it.
When Shane arrived at Amy's house, he wore a sleeveless cowboy shirt and a cowboy hat. She told him to butch it up, but not look like Matthew McConaughey from Magic Mike. He told her that was a butch as he gets. When her mother came to take the picture, she was all excited because she got her first assignment in the field; to interview the lesbian homecoming queens. Uh-oh!
Liam texted Karma to meet him in his car in five minutes, so she told Amy, that she would be a woman soon and told her where they were going. When he said to her that he was waiting for this for so long; she asked him how long; he asked, to have sex with a lesbian? When she heard that, she left and returned to the dance. She wants her first time to be with someone who loves her for herself, not for what she is pretending to be.
When her mother came to take the pictures, she saw Karma with the crown, and asked Amy where her date was? Amy then told her, she was her date, and her mother nearly had a coronary.
When she danced with Amy, she told her about the almost encounter. Amy was delighted that nothing happened, because she is really in love with Karma. As the two resumed dancing, Amy was now thrilled that Karma did not have sex with Liam. Then Karma stated that she was going to make him fall in love with her on this episode of "Faking It."

The update is the first of two bug fix updates following the release of TU14 at the end of March. However, the update to Minecraft: Playstation 3 Edition is still waiting in the wings.
4J Studios announced that the Xbox 360 Edition update was rolling out via its Twitter account. The developer then revealed the PS3 Edition update has not yet passed Sony's certification process.
"We'll let you know when #MinecraftPS3 Patch 1.05/TU15 passes Sony's testing. Hopefully not long," the developer said. The latest date to expect the PS3 Edition patch is Wednesday, April 16 as that marks exactly two weeks from when it was submitted to certification.
Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition suffered from a couple of platform specific bugs including an issue that arose with using the chatpad that attaches to the controller and accessing the Anvil interface in the game. Multiple audio issues arose as well such as defective sounds in splitscreen, bad Enderdragon sounds and general issues with unsynchronized audio.
Of course, there are multiple issues with the world and mobs as well. For the world, blocks reappearing after being mined and chunks of the world loading slower than normal have been addressed. For the mobs, Zombies will now drop Carrots, Potatoes or Iron Ingots; and Chickens, Wolves & Mooshrooms spawning problems have been fixed as well.
Problems with the new teleporting feature that cropped up while riding pigs and invisibility issues have been fixed. Bonus chests can now appear in pre-TU14 worlds as well.
You can check out the full list of fixes included in Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition Title Update 15 over at MinecraftForum.net. 4J Studios has stated that TU16 will likely be another bug fix update before another update is released to add new features to the game. Expect the Xbox One Edition and PS4 Edition to be released before that time.

It took 20 minutes for Mexico's Club America to impose their style of play on Bayamon FC on the grounds of the Azteca Stadium, and the remaining 70 to do as they pleased with the Puerto Rico based team. A team full of youth and back-up players destroyed the Caribbean team 6-1 in Mexico City in their debut in the CONCACAF Champions League.
The first goal fell at the 6th minute of play. Moises Velasco took a shot on goalkeeper Andre Krul's net from outside the area. The ball took a bounce in front of the keeper who could not control it, allowing the sphere to enter the net for the 1-0.
Two minutes later, Michael Arroyo took advantage of a set-piece. Arroyo shot and found the left near-post. Krul didn't even move on the play as America took a 2-0 in the 8th minute.
Ventura Alvarado would put the ball in the net in the 14th minute for the 3-0. In the 20th minute Martin Zúñiga scored a beauty. Gil Buron fought for the ball in the area and set up the play. Zúñiga had his back to the posts and did a bicycle kick to make the game 4-0.
With a huge advantage, the America players eased-off on their game. While the eagles maintained possession, they could not get back on the board. In the 45th minute, Buron would get his own goal. The game went into the break with America leading 5-0.
Bayamon would get their honor goal on a corner kick. Nicholas Walker beat the defense and put the ball in the net for the 5-1 in 60th minute. After the goal, the Puerto Rican side moved lines forward applying pressure on the Mexicans. But it was not meant to be.
In the final minutes of the game, America applied more pressure on the visiting side. Zúñiga would get his double in the 90th minute when he beat out the keeper and put the ball in the net for the final 6-1.
Cruz Azul falls in Panama
Cruz Azul's woes continue. This time in the CONCACAF Champions League. The Cementeros fell 1-0 to Chorrillo FC at the Javier Cruz Stadium in Panama. Justine Arboleda pierced the Azulinos' net in the 70th minute to give the Panamanians the victory.
La maquina cementera is struggling in both competitions. In La Liga MX, they have only won a single game out of five tries. Their last game in the Champions League was a 1-1 against Costa Rican side Alajuelense at the Azul Stadium.
CCL Results:
Alpha United 1, Portland Timbers 4
Real Estelí 1, Sporting KC 1

Sometimes food tastes better than it looks. Stews, chili and roasts come to mind. But occasionally, food looks prettier than it tastes.
I experimented with two recipes – a gluten free coconut pie crust and a tofu coconut cream pie. The pie crust didn't stick together well and tasted awful. (I think the canola oil I used was rancid.) Plus I should have left the shredded coconut out of the rather tasteless tofu coconut cream pie. Chewy and creamy aren't necessarily a good combination.
Ended up tossing it in the trash. Blech.

A job listing in December provided the first clue that Microsoft may be working on a separate Halo title from Halo 5 (officially Halo Xbox One). A second job listing was discovered Sunday that provides more evidence of a new title of a Halo title for the Xbox One that doesn't follow Master Chief.
"343 Industries is searching for a rock star engineer to join the team developing a new experience in the Halo universe," the job listing reads. "Work on one of the most exciting and creative intellectual properties in the industry; we are gathering an incredible team to help drive the future of Halo."
The emphasized part in the first sentence appears to confirm a separate title is in actively in development. Furthermore, this sentence confirms that this will be a AAA release and not an arcade or mobile release like Halo: Spartan Assault.
"We are looking for a talented software developer with the skills and drive to help us deliver the online and connected features of a AAA game title," the listing reads.
Aside from being a position with 343 Industries, the job listing is listed under the Devices and Studios Engineering which likely puts it on the Xbox where the vast majority of Halo releases have occurred. While the job listing does mention experience shipping a current generation AAA game title, that is likely due to the fact that the Xbox One is so new. There are few games in active development for the Xbox 360.
Non Master Chief Halo games that have been released so far include the real-time strategy title, Halo Wars; the side-stories, Halo 3: ODST and Halo: Reach; and the Windows 8 PC and mobile release that eventually made its way to the Xbox One, Halo: Spartan Assault.
Whatever the game ends up being, it likely won't make an appearance this year as Microsoft has confirmed that Halo 5 will be released to the Xbox One later this year.

The modern, liberated slut likes to flaunt her sexual freedom with certain cultural signals. One of these is the tattoo, the universal symbol of the uninhibited, exhibitionistic "bad girl"—and a sexual niche kinky director Kevin Moore explores in his new gonzo production, "Inked Angels #2." Whether they sport a simple tramp stamp or an elaborate collar or fully sleeved peacockery, Kevin gets off on showcasing the ballsy bimbos who decorate their fine skin in sexy art.
Kevin Moore emphasizes his appreciation for inked sex performers in the second offering from this brightly-colored series. Finding no problem signing up well-tattooed young girls from the porn talent pool, he hand-picks some fine gals, including Skin Diamond, who stays extra nasty and also offers her butt for the taking. Jessie Lee and Asphyxia Noir get their thrill from Danny Wylde's drill. Alby Rydes needs, and receives, a light butt-whackin' from Moore prior to taking him down her throat and in a variety of positions. Overall, this nasty treat will keep the tat fans twittering.

I bet a lot of people heard or saw this shop before, the Shih Lin Taiwan Street Snacks eatery, a franchise originated from Taiwan, and it's HALAL!
It has outlets in 1 Utama, The Curve, Sunway Pyramid, The Gardens, Berjaya Times Square, and many more..You can check out the locations HERE..
Shih Lin is famous for their XXL Crispy Chicken and also Handmade Oyster Mee Sua, where other stuff in the menu are pretty good too..
Daphne ordered the XXL Crispy Chicken while I choose the more fulfilling one, Happy! Ricebox Set that comes with any drink..
*Daphne and her XXL Crispy Chicken*
*My Happy! Ricebox Set*
My Happy! Ricebox Set comes with the signature crispy chicken fillet, tofu, and rice ala Japanese bento rice, the sticky type of rice but not exactly glutinous..
The tofu is meant to be eaten with the rice because it's quite salty, at least I felt so..
The rice is slightly fragrant and it complements with the crispy chicken very well..
I'm a happy man with a growling stomach..
*Happy! Ricebox Set comes with V-Soy, or any drink of your choice*
Other than the Happy! Ricebox Set and XXL Crispy Chicken, they also have Seafood Tempura, Sweet Plum Potato Fries, and Crispy Floss Egg Crepe, all selling at reasonable and affordable price..
My ricebox set is about RM10++ that comes with a drink, while the others in the range of RM4-RM8, or somewhere there, I couldn't really remember..
*Having my XXL Crispy Chicken*
I would say the Crispy Chicken is not bad, but I prefer those from pasar malam (night market), namely Uncle Bob and the likes of it..
IMHO, those from Uncle Bob and A Li San the skin of the chicken is more crispy and somehow more flavorful than the Shih Lin's..
Anyway, it's still a good meal and pretty reasonable for a tea-time snack!

281 Trillion Colors: The New Video Experience Inside Husky Stadium
Remember when having a video board beyond the east bleachers was good enough?
New Husky Stadium is more than nine times better than that.
The $250 million renovation includes nine – count 'em, 9 – video boards from literally every angle inside the stadium. And none of them block the unique views fans inside have of Lake Washington and the Cascades to the east.
The main video board beyond the new east grandstand is the jewel. It is a 31.2-foot-high, 108-foot-wide Daktronics DVX-502-series display, the type of ultra-sharp screen found inside New York's Times Square. It is wider than it is tall, maintaining Husky Stadium's iconic, picturesque views of Lake Washington and the Cascade Mountains to the east.
The big board is 24 feet wider than the largest, main video board in CenturyLink field, home of the NFL Seattle Seahawks. The manufacturer states the main Husky Hi-Def board can display in 281 trillion-- with a "t" -- colors.

ZannClip Review and Giveaway – Closed
May 16, 2009 by Rajee
Filed under Giveaways, Hair Accessories
We love shopping to the mall to look for fancy hair accessories and clips. If we buy some clips, then we'll come home happily. Few days later after use, we'll began to hate it becos it pokes our head, ears or hands. Only that design clips available in the shopping mall look so gorgeous. But they work like ordinary clips. I began to hate and I only attract its design in the shopping mall. I force myself to buy when there's a offer. Still, I am not satisfied with the clips. I said myself, "Can I try zannclips?". I watched its video. I have enough confidence to buy zannclips as they would take years of use before the plating would wear off but little pricey. It will not break and it's very flexible to bend and try it with different hair style without much effort. We can sleep with it too.
After watching its video, say, "Good bye to our broken clips, elastic bands and other hair accessories.
It is plated with 24K Gold and Platinum. It comes in 3 sizes, small metal plate zanclip costs $21.00, medium metal plate zanclip costs $22.00 and large metal plate costs $23.00. I have pretty thick hair and so I prefer to choose large metal plate with 24K Gold. I plan to buy platinum as it'll look good with different dresses like the movie, "Sex and the City".
Thanks to ZannClips for allowing me to choose 2 lucky readers. If my readers didnt win, then ZannClips gave special discount to my readers only buy 3 and get one 20% off.
Visit ZannClips and tell me your favorite product. This contest is open for U.S. Residents only. It's that simple! Be sure to leave your email address so I can contact you if you're the lucky winner.

SPX Update: Time to Sell the Bounce?
Jason Haver
A look at near-term, intermediate-term, and long-term expectations.
The program for this evening is not new,
you've seen this entertainment through and through.
You've seen your birth, your life and death,
you might recall all of the rest.
Did you have a good world when you died?
Enough to base a movie on?
-- Jim Morrison, "The Movie"
It feels like we've been here before. And I think bull are expecting that we have -- and thus expecting new highs immediately. But this time, I suspect that won't be happening just yet. The recent decline is the cleanest downward impulse that this market has seen in a long time, and that means we "should" have another leg down of at least equal length.
There are two things keeping me from being overly confident, and which dictate the "?" behind "time to sell the bounce":
1. This market has defied all gravity repeatedly and
2. As Madonna would say, "We're still livin' in a QE-world, and Ben is a QE-girl."
The last time we had a nice downward impulse, it turned out to be the c-wave of an expanded flat, and the market went straight on to new highs -- but I have a hard time seeing that pattern in this current wave. Doesn't mean I'm right, of course. The Fed and the Bank of Japan are both flooding the market with liquidity, so maybe I'm nuts to even expect a correction under these conditions. Right or wrong, I simply have to follow what I see in the charts.
Speaking of, the first thing the charts suggest, for the short-term at least, is higher prices. Note the market can travel all the way up to 1687 and still maintain this wave count. I would expect 1664-1673 -- so there's about 14 points of no-man's land above the target zone where things become fuzzy.

There's a bit more detail on the one-minute chart, and take a look at an alternate near-term count. I like the preferred count better (obviously), but I try to note the alternates mainly for the benefit of readers to be able to quickly figure out what's happening in the event my preferred count is wrong.
Click to enlarge
The hourly chart roughly outlines my expectations across three time frames. And it's worth noting that the intermediate and long-term trends can both give a lot of ground to the downside without creating issues for the bulls yet. In
the last update
, I outlined the potential long-term bear count -- we should always see both sides of the trade -- but presently my preferred long-term wave count expects this is a correction that will ultimately be followed by new highs. Depending on what happens over the near-term, though, those new highs could be a ways off.
The first target for blue iii/C is 50 points against the prevailing ii/B high. We'll refine that target if and when we get closer.
Click to enlarge
In conclusion, this update might get a bit confusing, so let's recap time frames: Near-term, I expect higher prices; intermediate-term, I expect lower prices; long-term, I expect new highs. The intermediate
remains up, so it bears mention that I'm projecting against the trend, which is always tricky business. And as always, the market reserves the right to force me to revise this whole thesis upon providing new price/pattern information. Trade safe.

Extortion is the criminal use of violence, threat, or fear to obtain money, property or influence. Traditionally, extortion was the misuse of power by government officials. Today, most state laws broaden the offense to apply to civilians as well.
If you are facing extortion charges, speak with a criminal defense attorney about your case. Simply fill out the free case evaluation form on this page or call toll-free 877-445-1059 to connect with an attorney in your area today.
Extortion Defined
Extortion is related to bribery and may occur in tandem with it. Like bribery, extortion is used to gain property or money; however, rather than offering a benefit in exchange for a specific action, threats are made.
These can be threats of violence, property damage, harm to reputation or unfavorable government action.In criminal extortion cases, intent to influence the victim is necessary.
Extortion Under Color of Office
When extortion is committed by a public official, it is said that the person is acting under color of office. Rather than using threat of physical harm, the official is using threat of government action (or inaction) to solicit money.
Discuss Extortion Charges with a Local Lawyer
If you have been charged with extortion or face extortion charges, you can discuss your case with a criminal lawyer. An attorney can inform you of your rights in a case and may help you fight your case. Total Criminal Defense can help you schedule a free, no obligation consultation with a criminal defense attorney near you.

The purpose of Conversations is to provide spiritual accompaniment and honest dialogue for those who long for radical transformation in Christ. It stimulates hunger and illuminates the path by drawing on classical wisdom and practice, exploring the vital role of community, and illustrating the journey with realism and hope. Conversations is published semi-annually, in the spring and the fall.
The target audience for Conversations is purposefully broad—all thoughtful, seeking followers of Christ who long for a complete transformation of soul and full restoration of His image within. It is the intent of the editors to produce words that will inspire both those who seek help themselves and those who are helping others. The audience is also envisioned as being international, ecumenical, and interdenominational.
A large part of the vision for Conversations is the image of a table where representatives from each of the major tributaries of Christian spirituality can sit and talk openly and honestly about what matters most, authentic transformation into the life and character of Christ.

Assume that I have a large, non-symmetric matrix $\bf{A}$ of zeros and ones. If I want the exact diagonal elements of $\bf{A}^{k}$ (not the trace, but the elements themselves) where $k$ is some large whole number, I can
Multiply the matrices out using with exact integers, possibly speeding the computation by using some Addition-chain exponentiation.
Diagonalize the matrix as $\bf A = V \Gamma V^{-1}$ and compute $\bf A^{k} = V \Gamma^{k} V^{-1}$
The first method is slow but accurate, while the second method can introduce numerical errors (since the exact answer is required). Is there some decomposition I am missing that does what I'm looking for?

The South Shields Gazette reports that a former soldier and English Defence League supporter, Kenneth Holden, has been given a twelve month community-order sentence for posting messages threatening Muslims on his Facebook page.
From the local paper:
"A South Tyneside ex-soldier used his Facebook page to make racist comments about Muslims.
"Kenneth Holden wrote the anti-Islamic messages after he started supporting the far-right English Defence League (EDL).
"Holden…pleaded guilty to two counts of sending an offensive message by a public communication network at South Tyneside Magistrates' Court last week."
In April this year, Holden posted on Facebook that he had "got a pipe bomb just 4 Ocean Road" - an area of South Shields known for its curry houses.
He added, "GIVE ME A GUN AN AL DO YOU ALL OSLO STYLE", alluding to the terrorist attack carried out by Anders Breivik in Norway last year.
"Magistrates adjourned the case until yesterday for the probation service to write a report about him.
"The report recommended that Holden be placed under the supervision of probation so his attitudes towards Muslims could be looked at.
"Holden was given a 12-month community order with supervision.
The prosecution told the court that when Holden was arrested, he "asked the police if it was because he didn't like Muslims."
Last week his defence told the court that "He was in the Army, and has some fairly strong views about Muslims.
"He supports some of the beliefs of the English Defence League and believes that the group was started after some Muslims spat on soldiers who were returning from Afghanistan."
Last month the army discharged a soldier who was found to have links with the EDL for committing an offence under the Armed Forces Act, and has investigated others for alleged involvement with the far right. The EDL has its own 'Armed Forces Division' and are known to actively recruit people from the armed forces; a report published this year by the Institute for Race Relations noted how organisations such as the BNP and EDL have exploited the sentiments of soldiers returning home to societies where opinions on British wars are divided and often negative. Concern has also been expressed about the MoD's association with people who are known to hold views hostile to Islam such as Dr Patrick Sookhdeo.
