Don't Chase These 4 Top Country ETFs 0 comments
Some of these market leading global ETFs could be good buys in the near future, but they look increasingly vulnerable right now. MoneyShow's Tom Aspray is waiting for a likely pullback to determine which of these plays can provide strong gains for the rest of the year.
Overnight preliminary data on Chinese manufacturing reflected further contraction, which has pushed global equity prices lower in early trading. The Shanghai Composite was down over 1%.
Some economists are noting that the rate of contraction in manufacturing has slowed, and are expecting the recent easing to cause moderate economic growth by the end of the year. The outlook for exports was also weaker than expected, so further measures to promote exports are expected in October.
The global effort of the world's central bankers to ease monetary policy has caused most equity markets to surge in September. The table above reflects a monthly scan of many of the top country ETFs. The Starc band and oversold/overbought analysis reflect the data as of the close on August 31.
The iShares MSCI Malaysia ETF (EWM) tops the list, as it closed August 12% below its monthly Starc+ band. I have also added the Spyder Trust (SPY) as a reference. As of the end of August, it would have lead the list at 11% below its monthly Starc+ band of $156.20. SPY is now just 6% below its monthly Starc+ band, while EWM is 9.5% below its monthly Starc+ band.
I have also added the ETFs' percentage gain so far in September. The iShares Hong Kong ETF (EWH) and iShares Mexico ETF (EWW) lead that list, up 7.6% and 6.8% respectively, well above the performance of SPY. So should you be buying any of these ETFs right now?
Chart Analysis: The iShares MSCI Switzerland Index (EWL) is up 6% so far in September, and the weekly chart shows a broad trading range (lines a and b) that has been in effect since the middle of 2011.
- The chart resistance is at $26.20, with the monthly starc+ band at $27.86
- In early 2011, EWL did outperform the S&P 500, but since June the relative performance has been in a solid downtrend (line c).
- The RS analysis does not yet show a completed bottom formation.
- The weekly on-balance volume (OBV) is above its WMA but is still below its major downtrend (line d).
- There is long-term OBV support at line e.
- The chart has first support in the $24.50 area, with more important levels at $23.50.
The iShares MSCI Hong Kong ETF (EWH) has been the strongest, as it is up 7.6% so far this month. With Wednesday's close at $18.28, it is now quite close to its weekly Starc+ band at $18.58.
- The weekly downtrend (line f) was broken last week, as the March 2012 highs are being tested.
- The high from November 2010 stands at $20.24 as the weekly Starc+ band was being tested (see circle).
- The two-year downtrend in relative performance (line g) has been broken, but the RS line has not yet started a new uptrend.
- The weekly OBV has also broken its downtrend (line h), but needs to overcome the resistance (line i) to confirm its bottom.
- There is first good support now in the $17.50 area, with more important levels at $16.60 to $17.
The iShares MSCI United Kingdom ETF (EWU) is up 5.7% this month, but it has been weaker than the Vanguard MSCI Europe ETF (VGK), which is up 7.1%. Both have nice yields at 3.7% and 4.2% respectively.
- EWU is just testing the upper boundary (line a) of the trading range that goes back to October 2011.
- The relative performance is back above its WMA, but is well below the major downtrend (line c) but has not confirmed that a low is in place.
- The OBV is acting weaker than prices, as it is well below the highs from early this year, and is just barely above its WMA.
- There is key OBV support at line d.
- The weekly chart has a band of good support in the $16.80 to $17.40 area.
The iShares MSCI Mexico ETF (EWW) closed last week above the 21-month resistance at $64.56 (line e). It is up 6.8% for the month, and is the second best performer for the year, up 21.9%.
- The relative performance is above its WMA but has not confirmed the price action, as it is well below the key resistance (line g).
- The weekly OBV made new highs in July and shows a pattern of higher highs (line h).
- The on-balance volume (OBV) is just barely above its WMA, but well above the longer-term support (line i).
- There is a band of weekly support in the $62 to $63.60 area, with more important levels at $60.17 and the July lows.
What it Means: While most of the ETFs have done better than SPY so far this month, only three have outperformed SPY for 2012. In addition to EWW, the iShares MSCI Singapore ETF (EWS) is the best performer, up 26%. (I last analyzed both ETFs in July.) The iShares MSCI Hong Kong ETF (EWH) is up just over 18%, which is a bit better than SPY.
All four of the country ETFs look overextended on a short-term basis, and given the weak seasonal Dow pattern in September look ready for a decent correction. It may come from higher levels.
Of the four, the iShares MSCI Mexico ETF (EWW) looks the most interesting. Its daily RS and OBV analysis do look more positive than the weekly. I will be looking at multiple time frame RS analysis to help find an entry price
How to Profit: No new recommendation.

TE Justin Meredith Profile
The rising senior from T.L. Hanna High School (Anderson) recently told CUTigers.com exactly what he will do.
"After my visit to Auburn, I'll probably be able to narrow it down, because I've been pretty much everywhere I wanted to see," Meredith said. "After I come back from this trip, my family and I will sit down and probably come out with some sort of top-five."
Meredith was scheduled to visit Auburn on Saturday for the Big Cat weekend. He won't be back on the road for another couple of weeks.
"We're going on a big 7-on-7 trip and we're using it as a recruiting trip for me," he said. "We're going to Tennessee and Vandy the first day. Then, we're going to Louisville the second day, then we're going to Notre Dame."
The nation's No. 16 tight end in the class of 2012 hasn't visited Clemson since one of the spring Junior Days that he attended.
A number of things will be considered as Meredith looks at schools like Clemson, Auburn, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia Tech, North Carolina and LSU, to decide if they'll make the cut.
His decision could be reached as early as August.
"There's a handful of teams right now that I'm pretty close with my position coach and recruiter, so those schools are definitely going to be one of the ones that are probably going to be on the list," he said. "There are some schools that I've seen a lot more than others, for whatever reasons. Those are probably going to be on my list."
Clemson offensive coordinator Chad Morris serves as Meredith primary recruiter to Tigertown.
"We talk about, I'd say once every two weeks, something like that," Meredith said. "I'll give him a call. He stopped by the school the other day to watch me practice."

When Elderly GI Joes Begin to Lose Their Hair War, Craig Blankenship Provides Coif Medicine
They've come to the right place. Blankenship, 41, founder and only paid employee of Club Hair for GI Joe, takes the balding veterans—from as far back as 1970—and replaces hair that has fallen victim to simple wear or childhood terrorism. "Craig is absolutely the best," says Vincent Santelmo, author of GI Joe: The Official ID and Price Guide. "He has mastered the technique."
To give the dolls that Rogaine look, Blankenship scrapes off any remaining strands, smooths out gashed scalps with a sander, then glues on "hair"—nylon fiber, called flocking—mixed to match the various GI Joes. "Even though the Sea Adventurer had red hair," he says, "he has a lot of black and a bit of blond added." A secret process using static electricity makes Joe's GI buzz cut stand at attention.
Blankenship, who by day is an engineering technician in Yakima, Wash., where he lives with his wife, office manager Kristina, 42, and her son Tyler, 13, began renovating GI Joe heads in 1998; to a collector, a new $15 head of hair can increase a doll's value by half. (The rarest old Joes, in pristine condition, can fetch $100.) Blankenship, who fondly recalls the GI Joes he had when he was a kid, has found more than an occupation. "He's been searching his whole life," says Kristina, "for something to bring back his childhood."

RIP 6th gen ipod nano: Apple, hope you are listening!,
This review is from: Apple iPod nano 8 GB Silver (6th Generation) (Discontinued by Manufacturer) (Electronics)
This was the best ipod for working out, walking to work/school, air travel, the beach... everything: It is so small and weightless like the shuffle but had 16gb of storage, allowed you to make/edit playlists on the fly, AND had a clip. For me, that was the difference between buying a replacement for my 1G ipod touch (it lasted only 3 years). I loved that there was no need to purchase a huge armband for it (been there, done that). In fact, I just used a nike bicep band, which is way cooler, cheaper, and convenient.
Sadly, my 6G nano has just taken a turn for the worse: The sleep/wake button lost all function. It still works fine, play-wise, screen-wise, but can only be turned on from a docking station. Once it is removed and the screen goes dark, I can't control anything except for the volume from the buttons on top (which also still function fine). So while I can still use it, it is conditional use. Its basically broken Shuffle, but with 8 times the amount of music that will circulate until the battery dies. If the headphones come out of the jack, game over.
I am a little upset that I can't replace it. I did really love it, but the lifespan of an ipod used to be a lot longer. I got my nano sometime early 2011. So, it worked for... 2 years? That's not a very long product life. I read a few places online where the problem mine experienced is quite common with this model (something under the button slips out of place). I've read similar common complaints here and elsewhere about other defects (e.g., volume increase/decrease) which is unfortunate as Apple can and should do better. I do not know why they didn't keep this model and just improve the quality.
So, not sure what the improvements of the new 7Gs are supposed to be. They are an awkward size and have a screen that's too small for enjoying videos. I don't understand why anyone would want to watch videos on a screen so small anyway, let alone, need to, with the proliferation of smart phones and other mobile digital media devices with video capabilities, I would expect that the market is fairly saturated there. In any event, if I could justify buying this again at the price under which it is currently listed, I would. For the physical specs and practical design, its fantastic. But the 16GB 7Gs are only $149, comparatively and I can barely justify buying another one (given that mine is still ok for the gym and I have an iPhone anyway).
Apple needs to bridge the gap between the less impressive 2GB Shuffle and the 16GB nano in both storage and in cost. For someone who likes to control music and have a variety, the Shuffle doesn't cut it, but someone who doesn't care about watching a video on their mp3 player and would just like a no-frills device for active lifestyles, the new 7G nanos are too much. It makes me wonder if they even do market research.
Apple: Do better.

The exact thing happened to my I pod Nano as what happened to yours. The on off butten dosent work at all, only the volum buttens work. So the only way I can get it to turn on is by connecting it to a USB or dock station. When I go to the gym I connect my Ipod to my car raido via usb when I drive so its on. So I have to quickly plug in earphones and have it playing something or else it will shut off when I disconnect it from the raido. I have to have it playing the whole time im at the gym and I cant change any music. If my earphones get disconnect it turns off. I duno if I want to replace my broken one and get same one,another Nano. I read online that the Apple company has discontuined stoped making the ipod Nano. Maybe because they where having to many problems with it.I wish their was no problems with it because I like how small the size is which is perfect for going to the gym, but I also herd it dosent work good around when you sweat. I think I might just get a diffrent type of I pod player

I've had my on/off button repaired and it is up and running. Works great! And I am so happy to have my nano back!!!!
The same thing has happened to my Nano, but I'm having it repaired because I love it so.
One solution I found to continue using it while not connected via USB is to set the timer. While my screen is active (via USB) I will set the timer from the clock setting to go off in 10 minutes or so. Disconnect from USB, listen to I-pod, timer goes off and screen lights up, I can change anything if I want to, reset timer, listen to I-pod, etc. A pain, I know, but at least I don't have to be attached to a USB while out and about.

Happened to me to after 13 months. I use my shuffle now. Not as convenient but I like have a small MP3 for workouts. I won't buy another IPod if I can avoid it.

Susan in St. Louis says:
Same exact thing happened to me. I looked up the problem on the internet, and evidently the shim attached inside power button of the nano is held on by what is essentially a piece of double stick tape. After some use, the shim moves and you can no longer depress the button. Frustrating to spend $150 every two years on an MP3 player that's put together with tape. I have had a lot of Apple products over the years and 1) they don't seem as well-made as they used to be, and 2) Apple doesn't stand behind its products. Disappointing to say the least.

D. Hamler says:
This happened to me twice! It happened on my first Ipod Nano 6g so I bought another on Ebay. A few months later the same thing happened. The sleep/wake button stopped working. Grrrr. I called the Apple store in my area, their response was that I would have to purchase a service plan for $29 just to have someone troubleshoot it. No telling how much they woudl charge to actually fix it, but I read in other forums that it is around $70. $99 total to fix a known, documented defect! I was seriously considering purchasing the iWatch, but this whole debacle has made me change my mind. I had been using the Nano as a watch and it was nice, but spending $350 on a device from a company that does not stand behind their products would be foolish.

DLKwisco says:
Mine does the same thing and I love it as much as you love yours. Where did you have it fixed and how much was it?
In reply to an earlier post on Mar 16, 2016 5:54:58 PM PDT
I had mine repaired at a place called iQue and they charged me about $30.00. Well worth it as I really love this little thing! I've actually had it repaired twice now and I've had it since before 2010. From what the service guy said it is a pretty simple fix. Good luck!

MONTREAL, QUEBEC -- (Marketwired) -- 06/13/14 -- Dynacor Gold Mines Inc. (TSX:DNG)(OTC:DNGDF) (Dynacor or the Corporation) is pleased to announce that in May 2014 its Huanca gold ore processing plant operated at its maximum capacity of 250 tpd and produced 6,810 ounces of gold. Furthermore, Dynacor has been able to resume working with all of its ore suppliers.
Ore processing update
During the first week of March, the Corporation resumed its gold exports and ore purchases after the slowdown during the first two months of Q1-2014 due to the governmental crack down on illegal mining and illegal gold exports from Peru.
Huanca 250 tpd Plant: In April 2014, the plant operated at 150 tpd and produced 5,273 ounces of gold. In the month of May, the Huanca ore processing facility operated at 250 tpd and produced 6,810 ounces of gold. Finally, the Company is working actively to rebuild its operating ore inventory levels.
Officials from the Peruvian ministry of Mines recently visited Dynacor's Huanca mill located near Nazca and concluded that our ore processing facility operation was fully compliant with all Peruvian mining regulations.
Over the past few months, Peruvian authorities in Southern Peru, in their fight against illegal gold mining have permanently closed thirteen ore processing plants - six (6) in the Nazca area and seven (7) in the Chala area.
Chala 300 tpd Plant: Now that the legal framework for the small mining sector in Peru has been established, Dynacor is confident that the permitting process for its Chala Plant will move forward and that the final permit will be issued in due course.
Dynacor's investment in its new Plant to date amounts to $2.3M towards the $10M construction budget and includes the following:
-- environmental impact assessment; -- hydrogeological water and tailings studies; -- permitting expenses; -- consultant fees; -- equipment purchases; -- construction of five buildings to house the workers and miners; -- water well and storage tanks; -- communication tower; -- power line connecting the site to the national grid.
About Dynacor Gold Mines Inc.
Dynacor is a gold and silver ore processing and a gold exploration and mining Corporation active in Peru through its subsidiaries since 1996. The Corporation differentiates itself from pure exploration companies as it also generates income and cash flow from its wholly owned gold ore processing plant in Peru. The Corporation's assets include three exploration properties, including the Tumipampa property, as well as its now 250 tpd gold and silver ore processing mill at Huanca. Dynacor's mill produces gold from the processing of ore purchased from many registered miners. Dynacor's strength and competitive advantage comes with the experience and knowledge the Corporation has developed while working in Peru. Its pride remains in maintaining respect and positive work ethics toward its employees, partners and local communities.
Certain statements in the foregoing may constitute forward-looking statements, which involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Dynacor, or industry results, to be materially different from any future result, performance or achievement expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These statements reflect management's current expectations regarding future events and operating performance as of the date of this news release.

There has been a zero-tolerance crackdown on crime in east London.
Newham Council and the Metropolitan Police have joined forces to target companies that are breaking the law by not paying the National Minimum Wage.
Labour leader Ed Miliband and London Mayor Boris Johnson called for firms to pay the Living Wage a few days ago.
Mayor of Newham, Sir Robin Wales, is backing their call but argues we need to start by fighting the rogue employers who offer only poverty pay.
He wants the law changed so that councils can tackle the issue directly and quickly rather than bringing in third parties later for enforcement.

TOKYO, Nov 25 (IPS) - Okinawa, the largest of a group of 60 sub-tropical islands forming Japan's southernmost prefecture, has an equable climate and preferential treatment for United States servicemen under the Mutual Cooperation Security Treaty between the U.S. and Japan.
The bulk of the U.S.' 47,000 troops in Japan are based in Okinawa. Credit: Official U.S. Navy Imagery/CC-BY-2.0
According to Chobin Zukeran, a member of the House of Representatives from Okinawa, the archipelago is the perfect U.S. base because it fans out into the Pacific Ocean towards Taiwan, making it a vital bulwark for U.S. military strategists concerned with containing China.
Here is where the bulk of the U.S.' 47,000 troops in Japan are based.
But Okinawans, who number roughly 1.4 million, have long opposed U.S. military presence on their homeland, which experienced the only bloody ground battle between Japan and the invading U.S. military at the end of World War II in 1945.
Since the return of the islands to Japan in 1972, over 90 percent of Okinawans – concerned about their personal safety and noise and environmental pollution – have supported the demand for a complete removal of the bases, which occupy 18 percent of their land.
Now, a string of recent incidents involving military personnel has pushed opposition to the bases into outright protest and threatens to foil the U.S.' plans to beef up its military in the Asia-Pacific region.
On Nov. 7, Christopher Browning and Skyler Dozierwalker were charged with raping and injuring a local woman on Oct. 16, in a case that sparked widespread protest across Okinawa.
"Okinawa's struggle against the U.S. military bases is reaching a turning point. We are prepared to take our demands all the way to Washington to end the deadlock," Zukeran said at a press meeting in Tokyo earlier this month.
Frustration with impunity for U.S. troops on the island is nothing new. In 1995, the gang rape of a 12-year-old Okinawan girl by three U.S. servicemen resulted in a U.S.-Japan agreement to reduce U.S. military presence on the Okinawan chain of islands, but this did little to appease the local population.
"The rapes and a skewed sense of justice when these crimes involve U.S. servicemen is the worst form of violence against women," said Ryuichi Hattori, a member of the Social Democratic Party that has traditionally led political demands to have the bases removed from Okinawa.
Statistics compiled by the police indicate no fewer than 6,000 cases of crime - including violence and rape - since 1972.
Catherine Fisher, an Australian national who was raped in 2002 by a sailor stationed on a ship on the U.S. naval base of Yokosuka, 64 miles south of Tokyo, was among the first women to speak publicly about the latest crime.
Fisher took her own case to the U.S. in September in pursuit of her attacker who had been honourably discharged by the U.S. military, although he was found guilty by the Tokyo district court in 2004 and ordered to pay damages.
"I was determined to receive justice and challenge a system that is totally unfair. Perpetrators, when they are U.S. soldiers, have legal protection and this must be changed," she told IPS.
Fisher is currently touring Japan to gather support for her demand that perpetrators of crimes remain in Japan to face trial. She is also trying to set up a 24-hour rape crisis centre that can deal specifically with crimes committed by U.S. military servicemen.
Yet another wave of protest is growing over regular crimes committed by U.S. marines who frequent the bustling bars of Okinawa and participate in its vibrant nightlife.
Masayo Hirata, a former counselor for women seeking advice on their problems with U.S. troops - including offspring abandoned by fathers returning to the U.S. - says romantic liaisons with locals are common.
"Marrying or having relationships with American servicemen has become common these days among younger generation females who meet them in bars," she said.
These interactions are a big part of the problem, according to protest groups, which include academics, lawyers and local politicians.
Sexual exploitation of local women has also sparked protests in other Asia-Pacific countries hosting U.S. forces, such as in the Philippines, which has a ship repair and recreational facility.
Public protests compelled the Philippine Senate to vote against the renewal of the lease on Clark Base in Angeles City in 1991 – a decision that many Okinawans found encouraging.
South Korea, officially at war with North Korea, hosts 37,000 marines located around the country, but the brutal killing in 1992 of a local woman working in an entertainment area close to the bases triggered demands for an end to the arrangement.
A 2010 survey conducted by the Mainichi Shimbun and Ryukyu Shimpo newspapers found that 71 percent of the Okinawans polled felt that the presence of U.S. troops was not necessary and 41 percent wanted the bases removed.
Campaigns have also focused on environmental degradation caused by the construction of military bases.
Human sit-ins against the construction of a heliport off the northeast coastline of Henoko, a quiet village, were forcibly disbanded. Locals, along with environmentalists on the mainland, claimed the heliport construction endangered coral and the native dugong population.
Okinawans say their daily lives are consumed with gnawing fear of accidents from U.S. fighter airplanes that also create deafening noise as they fly into U.S. bases located in densely crowded areas.
Animosity has recently been aggravated by the deployment on the island of Osprey aircraft, with locals voicing concerns over the poor safety record of the plane, which is capable of taking off and landing vertically.
Prof. Tsuneo Namihara, sociologist at the Okinawa University, explained to IPS that the recent territorial clashes between Japan and China over the Senkaku islands, claimed by both countries, have made it more difficult to get rid of U.S. bases.
"As a result, I fear the anti-base movement will veer away from the traditional pacifism (associated) with the local protests. The younger generation is getting impatient with the heavy hand of the Japanese government that is ignoring the wishes of the local population," he warned.

I had to relocate to Utah, to pursue a career path different from one I had chosen.
In my sweet state of Idaho, I had food stamps, federal cash assistance and Medicaid. I came to Utah and applied for the same benefits but got denied, due to the fact I still had a slight remaining balance in Idaho. Really?
This does not worry me. Sad to say, I have diabetes. I have to test my blood and take meds to control it. No Medicaid, no meds.
I sat in the small cubicle there at the Ogden DWS office, listening to a crappy bunch of music waiting for a specialist to answer the phone; when I did get a human, his demeanor was: "Who cares?"
I said that I needed the Medicaid for my diabetes meds, relaying the idea that without it, I could curl up and die. The call taker's response: "If you're dying now, I'll call 911 — otherwise shut up."
This is how the state treats people? Or is it that Idaho cares more?

This mask feels like a really great detox for my skin... Whether it be a week of bad eating, stress acne, or getting lazy about sleeping in makeup, this mask restarts your skin and leaves it feeling bright and clean. This is slightly drying on my sensitive dry skin, but I just use a moisturizer afterwards and I'm fine. I'd also like to note that my skin does go through a bit of a "purging" period while on this - the first two or three uses after using it every other day gives me a few inflamed whiteheads. But after continuous use, my skin always heals and looks better than it did before. For the price, I only buy it when I really need to, but it's one of my favorite Lush products!

This is one of my favorite masks from LUSH. Although I do have dry skin it gets clogged and needs a good scrubbing once in a while. I tend to use this more in the summer time. The only down side to this product is it's short shelf life, I could get away with using this once a week but with the expiration date being what it is I should use it more often if I want to get my moneys worth.

Wow, that warm tingly feeling takes some mind over matter! It's a bit burny but it subsides and doesn't actually seem to visibly irritate my skin. The smell is something else, too. I kind of like it but it drives my fiance nuts.
After using it I like to wet my hands and rub in circles to exfoliate, it it fabulous. The blackheads just slip away and are lighter afterwards. It also helps with blemishes and pore size and the effect lasts a while. All around wonderful effect.
Still, I probably wouldn't repurchase for regular use since it's so exfoliating and I have other stuff for that. Maaaaybe once in a while.

After trying 5-6 different LUSH face masks, this one is definitely my favorite. It is a bit hard to spread straight out of the fridge, so I warm it up in my hands before putting it on. It hardens up in around 15 minutes- once it does, I spray it with the Breath of Fresh Air toner (any refreshing mist will do) to re-hydrate it and leave it on for another 15 minutes while it hardens up again. It feels very fresh and cooling on the skin and the scent is pleasant and relaxing, like being at a spa. When I rinse the mask off, my skin is so bright and smooth. I have pretty big pores and texture on my forehead and cheeks, all of which are refined when I use this. I also massage the mask into my skin when I remove it, and the almond shells in it help to gently exfoliate. The best thing is that it doesn't dry my skin out, which happens a lot with these thicker masks. The perfect thing for dull, tired skin in need of a pick-me-up!

I found this mask to brighten my skin after each use. I used it for a few weeks, it did get dry at the end and I didn't care for the crumbly texture -- but i'm sure if I added some water or oil -- it would spring back to life. It lightly exfoliates and tightens and right after washing off -- my skin looks clean and bright. I like to followo this with a vitamin C serum to continue the brightening effect.

This was my first lush product so I was very excited to use it! In the store they tell you that you could only get 4-5 uses out of it but I have gotten 6 plus uses out of it and still have half leftover. Also the myth that this stuff expires is not true at all! I bought this mask early august and it said it would expire late august. That is honestly not the case. My face mask still works the same as it did the first day I used it. The thing I don't really like about it is that I don't see any changes in my skin. But it is nice to pamper yourself with.

This face mask is amazing. I felt like I had new skin after I used it. It smells amazing and has a lovely consistency and texture. It applies easily and when I washed it off I scrubbed my face with it to exfoliate. I did not notice any redness or irritation or breakouts from this product. I have used a couple other face masks from other brands but this one it my favourite. I plan on trying other Lush face masks after using this one. I love that it is made with fresh ingredients and that it has to be stored in the fridge. I do wish that it lasted longer than a few weeks, but then again I used it up easily before the expiration date.

I slept about three hours the other night but luckily I came across a LUSH store today! I immediately bought brazened honey since I know this helps with tired looking skin (and oh boy, tired looking it did), and slathered it on as soon as I got home. I kind of liked te smell and it was easy to spread. At first there was a tingling-burning sensation which was slightly unpleasant bit this went away in about 3 minutes. I found this being a little too abrasive, so I mostly took it off with cotton pads. And yes, my skin did look healthier and more even! A pimple on my forehead did unfortunately look more noticeable, but maybe this is just something coming to the surface? Since this is my first use, I will be back later to give a better opinion but this was kinda my first impression :)

This brazened honey mask is awesome!! Impulse buy while stocking up on my favorite (discontinued of course) flying fox shower gel. This mask is supposed to "awaken" ... Whatever that means... It has ginger in it which you can feel- it slowly gets warmer the longer it sits on my skin. There's so much in the jar I'm not sure I'll use it all before it expires (not that I pay attention to exp. dates) good deal, I think I paid $7. No break outs ... My skin really is smoother & nicer after using. Gonna repurchase after I try some other Lush masks!

I actually got this face mask after taking in 5 empty black pots to my local Lush - they'll give you a pot of mask for free! I got a 75g pot in return, which at first I thought was a little bit small, but it's nearly the expiry date and I haven't used it up (so it's quite a good size really!). I wouldn't say that this mask is my HG but it is good - it's full of lovely things which seem to make my very dry skin nice for a while after I take it off. I can't say it's improved my little forehead pimples or made my skin glowing and beautiful though. I would repurchase but only as a really special treat for myself.

Brock, I€™m walking again. I€™m back on my feet
And I€™m holding down the streets like a new pair of cleats
Sacrificing sleep so that in a few weeks
I look you in your eyes and unleash the beast
About to prove to you the unusual things I can do to you
Like take my fist and drive it right through you
I take you down Brock at any and all costs
I€™m super hard, you€™re microsoft
I€™m a heavyhitter, when I step up I don€™t back off
I€™m a king around here, you€™re just another jack-off
You seen me before Brock, but never intense
I€™ll fill you of holes like chain link fence

Re: Lens De-centering -- Choose Your Target Carefully
In reply to Joseph Tainter • Jun 1, 2012
Be careful in choosing a brick wall target to check your camera. The brick walls are often off and/or poorly laid. You also have to be at the correct angles to the walls.
Some times you have turn/rotate the camera 90 or 180 degrees and shoot all over again to catch problems with the target and angles to the target that exist when there is no problem with the lens/camera.

National Goodwill Ambassadors
One is a sportsman par excellence bringing accolades to the country, while the other is groundbreaking pop singer with a fan following crossing all boundaries. Their fields are different but what they share is a deep feeling for the country and the people of Pakistan.
Our Goodwill Ambassadors, Tennis superstarAisam ul Haq Qureshi and popular singer Hadiqa Kiani, have been a constant source of inspiration to the Pakistani community with their dedication and commitment to sustainable development. With their dedicated efforts and advocacy, we were able to extend our outreach to the poeple whose lives were adversely affected by the worst floods in the country's history in 2010.
These National Goodwill Ambassadors are now delivering key messages of UNDP programs to federal and provincial governments in achieving their development goals, notably the Millennium Development Goals and the objectives to be set internationally beyond 2015. Their work is beneficial for supproting nationally-driven solutions to poverty reduction and improving livelihoods and resilience.
In July 2012, UNDP Pakistan's National Goodwill Ambassador, Hadiqa Kiani visited communities of district Thatta of Sindh Province and interacted with village women, children, elders and other beneficiaries of UNDP support in restoring their socio-economic conditions with enhanced sustainability and disaster-resilience.
Hadiqa was accompanied by the UNDP team led by the Country Director, Toshihiro Tanaka as well as local implementing partner representatives from Health and Nutrition Development Society (HANDS), Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF) Pakistan and Sindh Rural Support Program (SRSP). The localities visited included Makli, Allahdino Khaskheli and Suleman Jutt village. Thatta is among the 29 districts affected by floods in 2010 where UNDP has implemented an Early Recovery programme through financial support from the Government of Japan, EU, USAID, AusAid, Government of Italy, Government of Kuwait and COFRA foundation.
Hadiqa visited the display centre for handicrafts produced by beneficiaries of Makli. The centre was established through HANDS for enhancing the linkages of local village women groups with the main markets of Thatta city. Hadiqa and the UNDP team were also welcomed by the children, members of community and disaster risk management committee of the village Suleman Jutt supported through SRSP.
One of the main objectives of the visit was to highlight the importance of linking Early Recovery interventions with climate change mitigation, adaptation strategy and disaster management at the community level. In this regard, Hadiqa visited the biogas plants established through WWF which provide rural poor families with sustainable access to alternate renewable energy, which is clean and requires no running cost. She also interacted with the staff of Disaster Management Center established by HANDS. This center has provided capacity building support to the communities and strengthened the preparedness and ability to respond to any possible disasters.
Addressing a community gathering, Hadiqa said, "I am pleased to meet all of you. I appreciate UNDP's efforts in introducing environmental awareness and the ability to respond to any future disasters." She also underlined the importance of disaster risk reduction and environment. "I am impressed by the efforts of the communities which have shown resilience and cooperation in rebuilding their lives". Hadiqa previously led the campaign with UNDP to raise awareness about environmental issues.

A Rum Tale Lyrics
Artist: Procol Harum
Album: Grand Hotel
She's fuddled my fancy, she's muddled me good
I've taken to drinking, and given up food
I'm buying an island, somewhere in the sun
I'll hide from the natives, live only on rum
I'm selling my memoirs, I'm writing it down
If no one will pay me I'll burn down the town
I'll rent out an aircraft and print on the sky
If God likes my story then maybe he'll buy
I'm buying a ticket for places unknown
It's only a one-way: I'm not coming home
She's swallowed my secret, and taken my name
To follow my footsteps and knobble me lame

O.C. home prices end 2012 up 9.2%
Orange County's housing market ended 2012 with December home prices rising 9.2 percent above the December 2011 level, Irvine housing data firm CoreLogic reported Tuesday.
It was the seventh consecutive month of rising home prices that ended an almost unbroken, 5 ½-year freefall in prices.
CoreLogic, which tracks price data in more than 900 U.S. metro areas, is the third of four key home-price indexes showing that December was an up month for prices. DataQuick reported that home prices rose 17.5 percent in December, while the California Association of Realtors showed local prices up 20.3 percent.
Home prices increased 8.3 percent in December in the nation as a whole, CoreLogic reported. It was the the biggest annual gain since May 2006 and the 10th consecutive monthly increase in home prices nationally.
All but four states experienced year-over-year price gains, CoreLogic's Home Price Index showed.
California homes posted a 12.6 percent gain in December. Elsewhere in Southern California, prices increased 11.3 percent in the Inland Empire and 9.8 percent in Los Angeles County.
CoreLogic reported also that:
•California had the fourth-highest price gain among U.S. states. The only states with bigger gains were Arizona (up 20.2 percent), Nevada (up 15.3 percent) and Idaho (up 14.6 percent).
•U.S. prices still are 26.9 percent below the price peak at the height of the housing boom.
•Of the top 100 most populous metro areas, only 16 showed year-over-year declines in December, two fewer than in November.

Recycling Benefits of REMAG Explained
Home to nearly one eighth of the US population, it is not uncommon to see things happen first in California. The state is known as a primary producer of grapes and there are more turkeys raised in California than any other state. In 1947, a young woman named Norma Jean was named as the first artichoke queen in Castroville, CA.
Perhaps 2012 will be recorded as part of the state's history for hosting the inaugural trials of the REMAG kiosks. An innovative, new reverse vending system, REMAG is slated for trials at eight supermarket locations in the Bay Area and Central Valley. The concept is pretty straight-forward: using a kiosk system, users can redeem magazines and catalogs for rewards.
Recently, a blogger for Target Marketing shared his thoughts on the wide variety of benefits of this program for various stakeholders including consumers, retailers, catalogers and publishers and the scrap recycling industry. Here, I offer a few more comments on the recycling benefits.
While paper continues to be recovered for recycling at rates significantly higher than other materials (66.8% in 2011) the industry still faces many challenges and opportunities. In particular, printing and writing grades tend to lag behind newsprint and old corrugated containers. And – as far as I'm concerned – for no good reason. Magazines and catalogs are fully recyclable and the vast majority of people in the US have access to recycling facilities. I am convinced that through continued education, reminders about recycling – and now with additional incentives – consumers will learn to recycle even more paper products.
Unfortunately, there is still confusion about the recyclability of products made with coated papers. Perhaps some confusion stems from history – there was a time that many of us were taught not to recycle "glossy" papers and some of that stigma remains today. This is one of the reasons I am so passionate about the use of "please recycle" claims and logos on printed pieces. And it's one of the reasons that I'm excited about REMAG: The program will serve to help re-educate people about the recyclability of magazines and catalogs.
For papermakers across many segments, getting fiber of good quality is a growing challenge – in great part because of continued growth of municipal systems where everything recyclable goes in the same bin (known as single stream recycling). But REMAG has the potential to help. Better separation helps recycled fiber maintain a higher value to the market. While many people simply think of waste paper as "one thing" – there are actually multiple grades destined for multiple uses. (I just counted 51 different grades of paper listed at scrapindex.com.)
For those active in social media, OMG, conveys a sense of excitement. For those in the scrap industry, OMG is Old Magazine Grades – also worthy of excitement as it has higher value than mixed papers.
OMG. I am so totally rooting for REMAG.

Remag is a very interesting idea, i sincerly hopeit works and spreads across the country collecting magazines and catalogs that would otherwise be landfilled
I agree that education is the key to maximizing recycling efforts. Getting the information where it counts is the key.
