Again, i mean no disrespect...All these other exercises and drills will, I suppose, aid and abet your ability to box....Let me ask this...
If you went to eddie Futch and said "Eddie, teach me to be slick." And then he showed you yoga stretches, you'd be mad as ****. The skills needed to be "slick" are 1000% independent of any skill that can be learned by jogging, break dancing or yoga.
The question was, originally, how to be slick. The one and only answer to that question is to get into the ring and learn how to fight.You all have gotten onto a tangent that, to me, summarizes all that is wrong with boxing today.
CHECK THIS OUT. You will never be a great fighter until you learn how to fight. That requires a teacher that knows about fighting and can teach you how to learn. No matter how far you run or how much yoga you do or which muscles in your ass you stretch, it won't make you know how to fight. The term slick connotates a cat that knows how to fight. That is knowledge based.
You guys that think that you can deduce boxing to a physical exercise are way the **** off.

The WP-PostViews plugin stopped working (not completly, it just counts the administrator views but none of the other people or something like that) since I updated WordPress to 2.9.
Does anyone know how to solve the problem?
same happened to me after upgrade...don't know where to start, I tried to reinstall, but it did not help.
Hmm, works fine for me, what about on the default theme without any other plugins activated? Are you using WP-SuperCache?
If you are trust me, please drop me an email (lesterchan AT gmail) with your FTP username and password, I will debug it live on your site as I can't reproduce the problem on my end.
Dear Lesterchan, mine neither. The views doesn't move from zero even in wp-stats it shows hundreds. I don't use WP-Superchache.
Additionally, when I deactivated the plugin, all my contents in my website (http://www.sekolahku.info/) are missing. So I have to carefully delete the call to the plugin (the_view) one by one.
It conflicts with Ajax Edit Comments.
Yes somehow it does conflict with Ajax Edit Comments.
But only after wordpress 2.9 upgrade, as I noticed.
Add this code in the wp-postviews.php on line 62:
if (is_int($post)) {
$post = get_post($post);
Code is given by the AEC developer and found it in Post Views Forum. It worked for me.
Thank you so much! it did work for me..
and it started to count views again!
Thanks AgnostosX!! It works!! :)
@AgnostosX, thank you for your advise, but can you do me a little bit more favor?
I am not good in coding, so putting it on line 62 is not simple enough for a beginner like me. Can you tell me what code preceding that line or after that?
I put it after

Sediment transport processes
by A. Gregory
|Figure 1. Undercutting Bank
Sediment transport is paramount in considering restoration techniques for both watershed and river restoration. It is responsible for erosion, bank undercutting, sandbar formation, aggradation, gullying, and plugging. However, sediment transport cannot be understood without considering the hydrology, geomorphology, and ecosystem. As Luna Leopold, the father of fluvial geomorphology stated, "So complex are the details of interrelations in this organized system that to describe adequately any single portion tends to make one lose sight of other equally important features," (Leopold, Wolman, & Miller, 1992). Therefore this paper aims to discuss sediment transport relationships, the necessity of sediment transport in restoration, an overview of how to incorporate sediment transport techniques into practice, and will reiterate its importance through presentation and discussion of case studies.
Sediment transport is a function of slope, velocity, discharge, vegetation, mean sediment inflow rate and channel morphology. When each of these allows a river to become stable, a river is said to have reached dynamic equilibrium. This symbiotic relationship is shown in Lane's work, Equation 1.
Equation 1:
Where Qs is the sediment discharge, d is the median particle diameter, Q is the water flow, and S is the slope of the channel. The equation shows that the sediment discharge and median particle diameter are propor
tional to the stream power (Lane, 1955).
Defining Erosion and Sediment Transport Processes
|Figure 2. Sediment plug at the confluence of the
Sediment transport can be defined as the movement of soil particles downstream caused by gravity and the force of moving fluid imparted. The ability of a particle to move is then related to shear stresses, frictional forces, water depth, and specific weight. These components can be classified into two general categories hydraulics and hydrology, and sediment physics.
Fundamentally, erosion of sediment from a watershed begins the process of sediment transport or through human activities. While elements such
as wind and chemical reactions can cause erosion, the main proponent of erosion is water; either in a flowing stream or as precipitation falling on earth's surface. Once a particle has been eroded, water becomes the "principal vehicle for transport of the eroded material," (Linsley, Kohler, & Paulhus, 1975).
The effects of human interference with the sediment transport process has resulted in measureable impacts on water quality. One example of the changes to sediment loads relates to dams. Dams have served as a way of trapping sediment and therefore starving streams of their natural sediment load. The result is armoring at the head of the dam, sorting of materials, and incision and widening of the channel. To learn more about the impacts of dams, see Dams and Other Impoundments.
Hydrology and HydraulicsHydrology and hydraulics are relevant to sediment transport because they provide the basis for quantifying the amount, depth, and velocity of water at a point whether in a watershed or river, which translates into when and how much sediment will be moved. Other physical characteristics of importance are slope, channel geometry and geomorphology. One of the most prevalent velocity and flow equations used is Manning's Equation, shown below.
Equation 2
U = Velocity (m/s)
n = roughness coefficient (unitless)
R = Hydraulic Radius (m2/m)
S = slope (m/m)
Another equation that is frequently used is Chezy's equation. It is empirical in nature
Equation 3
U= Velocity (m/s)
C= Chezy's coefficient
R = Hydraulic Radius (m2/m)
S = slope (m/m)
Manning's equation and Chezy's equation are useful tools when trying to determine average velocity in a stream. In the upcoming sections, velocity will be discussed in relation to shear stress. For more information see Hydraulics.
Effective Discharge and Bankfull Discharge
Another fundamental concept of sediment transport in rivers is effective discharge (ED), also called bankfull discharge. ED is the discharge at which a river moves a sufficient amount of sediment to maintain the width, depth and overall dynamic equilibrium. The ED correlates with the point at which overtopping occurs in a stream that is not degraded and generally occurs at regular intervals of 1.5 to 2 years (Rosgen, 1996). See Hydrology for more details.
Sediment Movement
Shear Stress and FrictionThe predominate determinates in sediment transport are related to the forces acting on a particle and the shear stresses required to overcome those forces. As can be seen in Figure 3, the weight of the particle must be counterbalanced by shear force in order to resist motion. The equilibrium equation assuming steady and uniform flow is:
Equation 4:
The W component can be substituted with γ(D-z)dx. W is the fluid weight, τ is the internal shear stress acting on BC, γ is the specific weight of fluid, D is depth and dx is the length of the channel being considered. If the above equations are rearranged, the equilibrium equation is transformed to:
Equation 5:
where it is apparent that shear stress varies linearly (Chang, 1988).
|Figure 3: Schematic of Forces on Control Volume
Particle Motion
As discussed in the "Shear Stress and Friction" section, sediment must overcome a certain shear stress in order to move. Shields equation (See Equation 6) and diagram (See Figure 4) are often used to determine incipient motion of a uniform sediment on a level bed (Chang, 1988).
Equation 6
Where τc is the critical shear stress, γs is the specific weight for the sediment, is the specific weight of water, is the critical shear velocity, d is the particle diameter, and is the kinematic viscosity.
The left side of Equation 6 is referred to as the critical Shields stress and the right hand side is referred to as the critical boundary Reynolds number. For more information on Reynolds number click here. In the instance of the Shields Diagram, see Figure 4, Reynolds number relates particle size to and flow region (laminar, transition, and turbulent).
Knowing the point of incipient motion is important to stream restoration for several reasons. If specific objectives have been set such as bank stabilization or improving flood plain connectivity, it will be critical to know if the materials used will potentially be moved downstream under the design criteria. Furthermore, if the sediment gradation is known for a particular reach, then it can be understood how the channel may respond to changes and how sediment will travel downstream.
|Figure 4: Shields Diagram for Incipient Motion
(Shields, 1936)
Sediment Size and Channel FormationsWhether a channel forms dunes and antidunes or pools and riffles is a function of sediment size. For an alluvial stream with sand sized particles and smaller, it is expected that in low flow conditions, the stream bed will be composed of dunes and antidunes. In larger storm events, an alluvial system will become a flat bed channel and erode materials downstream. On the Rio Grande, dune and antidune formations can be seen in shallow riffle areas. In a gravel bed stream, the formation of pools, runs and riffles is expected. The formation and approximate geometry of pools, runs, and riffles can be estimated.
In the instance of implementing a restoration project where a stream is being placed back in a remnant channel, the use of a reference stream would be used. Reference streams have similar geomorphological and hydrologic conditions as the stream to be restored as well as being near pristine. Typically, several different reference reaches are analyzed to find the closest match before proceeding with the design stage. The chosen reference reach is then used to design the features in the remnant channel. Although there is a remnant channel, it should not expected that feature spacing and channel geometry will be the same as it was when the remnant channel was still a segment of the stream. Understanding how sediment size and channel geometry in a reference reach apply to the remnant channel restoration are useful tools, because they provide the designer an opportunity to check the design of a project.
Whether the stream sediment is sand or cobble, being able to predict the success of a particular restoration method can be supported by understanding the fundamental idea that channel shape will vary with its sediment size.
Sediment Classification
To take the previously expressed knowledge a step further, two typical approaches exist for classifying sediment loads of streams (Chang, 1988). The first classification differentiates bed load, suspended load, and saltation. Suspended sediment particles are those that are carried in suspension by flowing water. Bed load are material that are transported by sliding and rolling along the bottom of a channel. Finally, saltation refers to those particles that bounce along the bottom of a riverbed.
The second is wash load and bed-material load (Chang, 1988). Bed- material load relates to the material of a stream bed. Finally, wash load is composed primarily of silt and clay.
Sediment Discharge Equations
Sediment transport is much like hydrology in that there is not a "one size fits all" equation. Indeed, there are a plethora of sediment transport equations and algorithms that are based on different premise and that try to predict a variety of parameters. For the purposes of this paper, discussion will begin with sediment yield in watersheds and then will be limited to sediment discharge in rivers. Discussion of sediment discharge equations will be based on the sediment classifications: bed load, suspended sediment load, bed material load, and wash load.
According to Schumm, a fluvial system can be divided into three components. First there is the watershed, where a majority of the sediment and water in a river system originates. The middle reach is where a river channel is most stable. The last portion is near the outlet, where variations in the channel occur due to variations in tides, and base level (ie. at the inlet of reservoirs), (Chang, 1988).
Sediments from watersheds can be correlated to many factors such as climate, soil type, land use, and topography (Linsley, Kohler, & Paulhus, 1975). It is undoubtedly difficult to relate all of the factors contributing to sediment yield to one specific equation and yield accurate results. Existing efforts include those of Langbein and Schumm, and Fleming which relate sediment yield to watershed characteristics.
Bed Load and Shields Equation
Shields equation, Equation 7, is a dimensionless formula that relies on overabundance of shear stress to determine sediment discharge for bed load (Chang, 1988) and (Shields, 1936).
Equation 7
Where q is the water discharge per unit width, qb is the bed load discharge per unit width, and d is the particle diameter. The left hand side of Equation 7 represents the bed load discharge and the right hand side contains both excess shear stress and the submerged weight of sediment particles (Chang, 1988).
Shields equation can be used to evaluate sediment discharge in gravel bed channels. An example where Shields equation might be used would be in a river where hydraulic mining has been completed upstream. If a reach of that river was to be restored, it would be useful to evaluate the reduction of sediment discharge before and after the project and to set goals in reaches suffering the same impairment.
Suspended Load and Einstein's Suspended Load Method
Suspended sediment concentrations and velocity vary within the water column. To evaluate suspended sediment Einstein integrated the following equation:
Equation 8
Where qss is the suspended sediment discharge, D is the depth, a is the lowest point at which suspension occurs, C is the concentration, and u is the velocity. This equation is then permutated with Rouse's equation, shown in Equation 9.
Equation 9
The result is
Where Ca is the concentration at depth the lower limit of U'*where suspension begins, and U'* is the velocity as a result of grain roughness (Chang, 1988). Finally, substitute and z for the respective values of A =a/z and
η =z/D. The results are shown in Equation 10, Equation 11, and Equation 12.
Equation 10
Equation 11:
Equation 12:
(Chang, 1988)
Einstein's suspended sediment equation would be particularly useful in the southwestern part of the U.S., where in a large number of streams sand particles are prevalent. This equation can be used to determine how suspended sediment discharge might change with time. Like the example used in the bed load section, determining the suspended sediment can be used to set goals. It can also be useful in reducing effects on fisheries that are sensitive to suspended sediment and have a clear threshold.
Bed-Material Load
As discussed earlier, bed-material load is simply the total of the bed load and suspended load, excluding wash load. Several relationships between bed-material load, stream power and shear stress exist. The Colby relations relate bed-material per unit channel width in terms of temperature, mean flow velocity, depth, sediment size and fine particle concentration (Chang, 1988).
Wash Load
|Figure 5: Yellow River at Houkou Falls, China
Wash load has been accepted as not being linked to flow hydraulics with the exception of rain events (Yang & Simoes, 2005). It is considered a function of supply from a watershed and does not interact within the same bounds as other sediment types. However, Yang found a strong correlation between bed-material load and wash load on the Yellow River in China and that wash load can effect bed-material transport rates in the Yellow River's sediment laden system. The relationship of wash load and bed-material load on the Yellow River were related through development of an algorithm. See Figure 5 (crienglish.com) to view picture of Yellow River at Hukou Falls.
When wash load is an issue in a reach, developing an algorithm would be a good solution if properly developed. The use of a reasonable algorithm could aid in identifying areas that would benefit from restoration. This not only holds true for wash load but also suspended load and bed load.
The Big Picture
As mentioned before, sediment transport processes are intricate. Sediment is only one component of an elaborate system that includes: biota and fauna, water quality, geomorphology, and much more. Table 1 illustrates how variables change spatially and are dependent on changes within the watershed. In terms of evaluating geologic time, no predictions can be made about how interactions will transpire and this effects a slew of variables.
Table 1: River Variables for Different Time Spans (After Schumm, 1971)
|Status of Variable
|(Very Long-Term)
|Geology(lithology, structure)
|Valley slope, width and depth
|Vegetation (type and density)
|Mean water discharge
|Mean sediment inflow rate
|Channel morphology
|Observed discharge and load
|Hydraulics of flow
|I*, independent variable; D, dependent variable; X, indeterminate
|(Chang, 1988)
To get a general idea of how these are tied together, an overview is presented that relates each system to sediment transport.
Collecting Data and Application
|Figure 6: Wolman Pebble Counter
So, how does one incorporate sediment transport processes into a robust watershed or stream restoration project? To begin, a plan and project should be defined. Next, field reconnaissance should be completed that mindfully incorporates as many variables into the design as can feasibly be allowed. In terms of sediment transport, this means assessing whether a site's stream composition is primarily alluvial or gravel in nature.
The collection of bed-material particle size from rivers is an important part of the reconnaissance process. To start, transects are selected at regular intervals, depending on the variation of sediment size, of either equal distance or based on riffle formations (Bunte & Abt, 2001). For a stream composed of mainly fine particles, a bed material sampler can be used to obtain a representative sample of the streambed. The sample is then filtered, dried, and sent through a set of standard sieves to determine percent by weight of particle sizes (USDA). In the instance of larger particles, a Wolman pebble counter is used to determine the size of 100 pebbles or cobbles at minimum.
Once the collected data has been evaluated, it is generally evaluated for a particular particle size. For instance, an engineer may decide that the d50 is the most useful particle size to use in Shields equation. Other equations are specific about the particle size required to determine critical shear stress.
Case Studies
Elwha Dam
|Figure 7: Elwha Dam Removal, WA
The Elwha Dam, see Figure 7, in Washington is one of the largest dams removed to date. The dam removal process began in 2011 and management of the project is based on adaptive management principles. The purpose of its removal was to provide increased spawning habitat to anadromous fish and to restore the natural ecosystem. The Elwha River is a steep gradient river that is 45 miles long on its main stem and has over 100 miles of tributaries. Each year the Elwha carries between 120,000 and 290,000 cubic meters of sediment downstream (Czuba & Randle, 2011). In order to understand the potential outcomes of dam removal, data from the 1994 Lake Mills Drawdown Experiment were used. The predicted sediment load partway through dam removal process is an estimated 21 million yd3.and the expected length of impact is 3 to 5 years.
The managing agency, the Bureau of Reclamation has seven objectives to monitor by to ensure the that best outcome prevails (USBR, 2010).
1. Dam removal should occur fast enough to minimize the duration of sediment impacts to the aquatic environment, but slow enough so that impacts to downstream water users and property owners are not substantial or they can be mitigated.(The Seattle Times, 2011)
2. Reservoir delta sediments should be eroded and redistributed so that the resulting topography is stable and consistent with natural landscapes. In addition, reservoir sediment erosion and redistribution should keep pace with the rate of reservoir drawdown so that sediments are not left behind in an unstable condition following dam removal which could cause large and uncontrolled releases of sediment to the river.
3. High suspended sediment concentrations should be mitigated for water users by the efficient operation of downstream water treatment facilities.
4. Sediment deposition along the river channel should not increase the 100-year flood stage beyond 2.5 feet for the lower river (downstream from Elwha Dam) and 1.5 feet for the middle river reach (between the two reservoirs).
5. Sediment concentrations can be treated at the Elwha Water Treatment Plant to meet water quality standards.
6. Adequate water clarity should be maintained in the Elwha River and estuary for fish migration during critical migration periods.
7. Large landslides along the reservoirs or the release of flood waves are avoided by limiting the rates of reservoir drawdown.
The management objectives of the Elwha Dam Removal project illustrate the importance of understanding and modelling sediment transport through a system. While each system is different, there are broader consequences of restoration actions that need to be considered. Ensuring the safety of the public whether it be drinking water supply or physical safety are important to consider. Dam removal is one extreme version of stream restoration, but it sets the example of what needs to be considered in smaller restoration projects.
Red Clover Creek Project
The Red Clover Creek project in Plumas County, CA was an attempt to repair one mile of river located in a meadowland that had been degraded by overgrazing. In 1880, Red Clover Creek indicated was described as a narrow channel with a well developed riparian zone and the goal of the project was to achieve similar results. The creek had since transformed into a gully that was 60 to 60 feet wide with banks that were in some cases 10 ft. high. Along with the gully channel features, Red Clover Creek had also been disconnected from its floodplain and the riparian vegetation that once existed had been replaced by drier climate species.
To restore Red Clover Creek the Feather River Coordinated Resource Management (CRM) set three main objectives (Wild Fish Habitat Initiative, 2007):
1) Obliterate the gully created by the actively eroding stream channel
2) Reconnect the channel to the floodplain and raise the water table to restore riparian and wet meadow vegetation adjacent the creek
3) Monitor fish populations in the demonstration project area and at a downstream control site to assess the effects of restoration measures on fish and fish habitat.
In 1985 the Red Clover Restoration Project began construction. Four check dams were installed, the banks were revegetated and the area was fenced to limit grazing by local ranchers. Monitoring occured through 1995, and as shown below Red Clover Valley did show signs of recovering. However, in 2005 the restoration was declared not sustainable due to development of a new actively eroding channel similar to the one shown in 1985. The energy gradient at the bottom of the increased the stream power at that point and propagated a new channel upstream.
|Figure 8: Red Clover Creek before Restoration in 1985
|Figure 9: Red Clover Creek after Restoration in 1999
The failure of the Red Clover Creek project is an example of why it is important to not only evaluate the sediment transport processes that will occur but also what the long tern expectations of the restoration project are. It is also an example of why it is important to take a holistic approach to restoration and a significant challenge to fully restore a system to previous conditions. The CRM has since developed a new technique for treating gullied systems. They treat gully's be creating a series of pond and plugs and connecting the ponds with remnant channels. Time will tell whether the new technique will be sufficient in maintaining the life of restoration projects. However, the new technique is not significantly significantly different than the use of check dams and the reported success is more likely caused by strong root systems of vegetation since the area that the CRM treats receives sufficient rainfall and snowfall to support high densities of vegetation.
Assessment of sediment transport in stream restoration is of great importance. The processes within river systems are married to dynamic equilibrium and it is inlikely that a restoration project will meet objectives without sediment transport being considered. On the Elwha River , the management objectives not only applied to the restoration of the river and habitat but to the safety of people in surrounding communities. Furthermore, the planning component of the dam removal enabled the Bureau of Reclamation to use adaptive management to modify operations and management of the Elwha River. This tactic will not only reduce the risk of further impairing the ecosystem but will also reduce the potential for flooding, land slides, drinking water contamination
On Red Clover Creek, understanding sediment transport processes as part of the system would help set realistic expectations of the life and the achievable goals of the project. It is a perfect example that even if sediment transport was considered on a microscale, there are more complex relationships that coexist and it is important to look at upstream and downstream reaches as well as the watershed itself for clues to its response.
Also, there are a variety of equations available for evaluating sediment discharge loads and it is important to choose equations carefully. No single equation will provide exact outcomes of sediment transport, aggradation and scour. Evaluation of the sediment transport processes must include the sediment gradation, the geomorphology of the system, and understanding of the relationship between hydraulics and channel geometry and what that means for sediment discharge. Investigating sediment characteristics and movement is beneficial in supporting fisheries, life of a restoration project, and setting goals for reducing sediment load. It is an essential component of analysis and design process and should not be dismissed when considering the effects on a watershed.

Paranormal Recorder
By Excelltech Inc.
Open iTunes to buy and download apps.
Paranormal Recorder gives paranormal investigators a powerful tool for detecting other worldly activity.
By using the magnetic compass found in your phone as an electromagnetic field (EMF) detector, Paranormal Recorder is able to turn on an audio recording only when there are abnormal EMF levels.
The recordings created by Paranormal Recorder often contain unexplainable noises and voices. Researchers have given these types of recordings a name, electronic voice phenomenon, or EVP.
Cited by many as a breakthrough in paranormal research, Paranormal Recorder has seen almost 1500 examples of EVP with associated abnormal EMF levels shared with the world.
Creating a paranormal recording is simple.
1. Press the 'Start EVP Detection' button and leave your phone plugged in and near an area of suspected paranormal activity for an hour or two.
2. Press the 'Stop EVP Detection' button and select the 'Analyze' tab. If there was any paranormal activity selected your recording will be listed.
3. Although you left Paranormal Recorder running for hours, there should only be a couple minutes of paranormal activity (if any) detected. Listen through the disruptions, classify them, and share the results to SoundCloud for other paranormal investigators to assist analyzing.
If you are not getting results, try another location and make sure your EMF thresholds are set correctly. The default settings should work best, but some areas may have different background EMF levels and need adjustment.
Join the hunt for paranormal activity today with Paranormal Recorder.

Customer Reviews
So this deserves 5 stars for being two pieces of equipment in one. The majority of evp/emf apps on iTunes say that they are for entertainment purposes only, this one is not. It is an real working emf detector that begins recording when a heightened electromagnetic field occurs. This is great because that means rather than having 8 hours of data to review, I can jump right into reviewing emf spikes cutting the review time down to 30 minutes. To the IDIOTS who do not understand how evp works, you can't just take it on a ghost tour and expect to find something. These are phenomenon that we do not have control over. You may get something, you may not. If you got evp's all the time I'd say the app was fake. Also it really does detect high emfs, for example if you put it next to a bunch of electronics the meter responds. Good piece of equipment.
This is the first review I've written and am only doing it because of how WONDERFUL this app is. The EVP recorder is BETTER than my digital recorder. I'll use them side by side and this app routinely records more than my digital recorder. It helps BIG TIME to use a good set of headphones when playing back your recordings. I skipped a ton of great EVPs at first because I didn't realize what the headphones brought out. The bad reviews I've seen here have to b from people not using the app correctly. I've been ghost hunting for years and have used lots of different tools,and I promise ya that if there r any EVPs to b gotten, this is the app that'll get them. Listen to ur recordings many times over or you WILL miss some,and u also have to 'learn' to hear EVP's because they don't stand out like any other sounds.
I've had this App for a couple weeks now and trust me it's not fake. The first time I bought it I thought right away I would hear something come through (which is common on the fake ones) but I didn't. It's been three weeks and I still haven't heard anything out of the random recordings I do which makes me think this App is 100% real and I'm excited to actually catch something. I have read a lot of the reviews saying that it's wouldn't record... It may be that the App is glitchy and just needs an update.
Thanks :)

To anyone buying gold in June: your patience shall be rewarded
Patient investors who buy when prices are at the low-point of the cycle always win in the long run. Historically gold prices are cheapest in June. Gold prices are at a low-point in their cycle. Buy while prices are low this month and your reward may come sooner than expected.
Why's that? Did gold prices not fall $50 in the past week? Yes, gold prices are exceptionally cheap. Bullion billionaire Eric Sprott offers the following bullish thoughts in his latest missive:
1. The Gold Forward Offered Rate remains very low, with extended periods of time in negative territory.
2. Why is Germany's repatriation of their 674 tonnes of gold taking so long? As of March 2014, only 69 tonnes had made their way back, a pace of less than five tonnes a month. If there is no shortage of gold, why are the US and UK exporting so much gold to Switzerland? (which itself exports most of it to China).
3. According to some estimates, China consumed over 4,800 tonnes of gold in 2013, implying that about 3,600 tonnes were drawn from global stocks (i.e. western vaults) to satisfy demand.
4. All this Chinese buying is reflected in the monstrous amounts of gold deliveries on the Shanghai Gold Exchange.
5. Dubai is building a new gold refinery capable of handling 1,400 tonnes, and current global gold refining capacity is about 6,000 tonnes (world mine production is less than 3,000 tonnes a year). Why would they need so much refining capacity if physical demand was not buoyant?
6. As the major gold miners cut back on exploration, future mine supply will remain constrained.
7. Another 'temporary source of supply' (900 tonnes) has been ETFs, which have been raided for most of 2013. However, they have now stabilized. Other things being equal in demand, where will that 900 tonnes of supply come from in 2014?
8. Interestingly, the Silver Institute, in its 2014 World Silver Survey, noted that there was a 96 million ounces shortfall in 2013 due to strong physical demand.

These are great snakes. They get big. This one is 2.75m. This is another one that hasn't calmed down since being caught. They are rat snakes, so that's what they prefer. Unfortunately we don't see many rats around this area so I couldn't catch one to feed it to him if I wanted to. If I find a pet store I'll buy a couple rats and see if he's hungry. Unfortunately these snakes die quickly after being caught – so it will probably become dinner for one of the big king cobras – if they'll eat it.
There are some color variations in these snakes. Here's a Ptyas carinatus I caught that was much more green.

Alibaba Site Launches 11Main.com Online Marketplace
Thursday June 12th, 2014 - 10:42AM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba, which went public in the U.S. last month, has launched a new, invitation-only online shopping hub called 11Main.com. The internet marketplace is offering a hand-selected collection of specialty small business retailers and boutiques that sell fashion items, jewelry, home goods and art including one-of-a-kind items, not available at mass merchants and other large e-commerce sites, the company said.
Named to represent Main Streets across America, the website is currently in its beta phase. The site directs shoppers and shop owners to request an invitation in order to participate in the experience.
"Alibaba believes in 11 Main's vision and its commitment to helping small businesses grow," said Michael Zeisser, chairman of U.S. Investments, Alibaba Group. "11 Main brings something incredibly unique to the U.S. market, and we're very excited to support the 11 Main team as they begin to realize this vision."
According to reports, 11 Main does not handle the products itself, leaving the onus on vendors to handle logistics and shipping.
The new marketplace, according to a report from Forbes.com, is a cheaper, niche-based approach for local businesses to list specialty items that can sometimes get lost among the millions of offerings on Amazon and eBay. The site also focuses on shaping and communicating its sellers' brand identities, encouraging them to "tell a story" and "describe their journey, passion and point of view" through their shop profiles on the site.
"At 11 Main, we're passionate about the shops we invite and helping them grow," said Mike Effle, president and general manager of the new Alibaba venture. "We're constantly introducing new shop owners who represent the diversity of Main Street and featuring their new, amazing products in a beautifully designed experience."
The company is said to already have half a million products on the 11 Main site from between 1,000 and 2,000 vendors, and is already advertising on search engines like Google and Bing. According to a Yahoo report, 11 Main will not have ads or retailer fees, but plans to generate revenue by taking a 3.5% cut of each sales transaction. In return, retailers get 11 Main's national marketing power and reach, the report stated. Bigger than Amazon and eBay combined, the report noted, Alibaba had no U.S. e-commerce presence until now.

I really enjoyed Timeline (the book) by Michael Crichton, the movie Timeline did NOT do the book justice but movies rarely do -- however I feel inclined to mention that Timeline IS the ONLY Crichton book I like, and I have read others like Jurassic Park where for once the movie WAS better.

Publisher's Description
In this revised and expanded best seller, Rogers argues for equal rights in both the church and society for lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and transgendered people. He describes how he moved away from opposition to support, charts the church's history of using biblical passages to oppress marginalized groups, argues for a Christ-centered reading of Scripture, debunks stereotypes about gays and lesbians, and explores texts used most frequently against homosexuals and gay ordination.
In this newly revised edition, he maps the recent progress of major U.S. denominations toward full equality for LGBT persons, adds a new chapter that examines how Scripture is best interpreted by Jesus' redemptive life and ministry, and updates his own efforts and experiences. The book also includes a guide for group study or personal reflection.

Homes for Sale
Small town charm and big city convenience.
Decatur, GA
A family-friendly and walkable in-town neighborhood.
Atlanta, GA
Diverse, affordable and steeped in vibrant history.
Atlanta, GA
Historic homes surrounded by abundant green space.
We're not here to find four walls and a roof. We're here to help you find a home.
"Home" is more than just a roof over your head. It's security, comfort and sanctuary. It's the foundation from which you start your day. It's the place you return each night to recharge your mind, body and spirit. It's where life happens.
That's why each housing decision — whether it's to move, rent, trade up, buy a second home or purchase an investment property — isn't just a transaction; it's a major life change.
We get it. We know a home search is about more than just tallying up numbers or focusing on amenities and locations
That's why, unlike typical real estate agents, we work alongside our clients to help them identify what truly matters when finding a place to call home.
We love the energy at the heart of Atlanta. Its diverse culture, rich history, modern style, growing population and rapidly-emerging neighborhoods make this an amazing city.
The Atlanta Beltline is opening new sections. Piedmont Park is expanding. Turner Field is moving. The CDC, Coca-Cola, Turner, Georgia Tech and other major enterprises create a stable employment backbone, while the city also welcomes new businesses into its community. Several Intown neighborhoods are witnessing an influx in housing, restaurants, shopping and population growth, while other "classic," stable Intown neighborhoods stand as beautiful, iconic staples in the midst of a booming and rapidly evolving city. All the while, Google is hard at work bringing brand new, state-of-the-art fiber optic connections to fuel Atlanta's future.
Atlanta real estate can change as quickly as the springtime weather. Our job is to follow the patterns and transformations — and make sure you're up-to-date on the latest Atlanta real estate developments. We work with you to understand what you're searching for in a home — and then help you turn that idea into reality.
We embrace a dynamic-yet-practical approach to real estate consulting. The evolving Atlanta real estate market demands expert guidance for buyers, sellers, investors and landlords. We're here to provide that guidance. Our goal is to help you find the right home in the right neighborhood at the right price.
Because we work by referral, we don't need to spend valuable time prospecting for new business, and we don't believe in pressuring people to buy what they don't need. We're 100% committed to recognizing your priorities and guiding you through each stage of the process — and beyond.
Intown Metro Atlanta is a vibrant, evolving environment where you need to adapt quickly to stay in front. We learned these skills at a young age.
Since our father was in the U.S. Air Force, we moved around a lot as kids. From Germany to England, Wyoming to Florida, we never stayed in the same place very long.
This helped us form a strong brotherly bond, and it instilled in us the values of teamwork, adventure and striving for top quality — not only in our lives and our business, but in our families' lives and the lives of the people we work with each day.
As brothers and business partners, we've made a habit of pushing ourselves further and going beyond the ordinary to achieve more. It's one of the reasons we love the energy and spirit of Intown Metro Atlanta so much: its distinct pace and diverse array of shops, restaurants and neighborhoods means there's always more to do and explore.
If you're ready to find your "place to call home" in Intown Atlanta, we invite you to call us at 404 270 9374 or fill out our Contact form here. We look forward to talking with you!

Although we've known since at least September that Mark Ruffalo will play both Bruce Banner and the Hulk in The Avengers, thanks to motion-capture technology, there's been little indication of how that might affect the appearance of the Green Goliath.
The monster changed significantly between Ang Lee's 2003 Hulk and Louis Leterrier's 2008 Incredible Hulk, and he'll do so again in Joss Whedon's 2012 film. But what can fans expect the Jade Giant to look like? It's not a what, apparently, but a who: Mark Ruffalo, right down to his wrinkles and body hair.
"No one's asked me to shave my chest yet, thank God," the 43-year-old actor tells The Advocate. "They want this Hulk to be as close to me as possible. I'll be playing him in motion-capture, so this Hulk will just be a bigger avatar version of me. As they're modeling him, they're using many of my own features, down to my scars and wrinkles. He will have body hair, but I don't know to what extent."
When the interviewer points out — Marvel marketers take note! — that Ruffalo's chest hair is famous in some gay circles, he replies, "I was not aware. But that's good, because young girls are probably like, 'Ew, chest hair! I didn't even know guys grew hair there.'"
Set to begin production next month, The Avengers also stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Samuel L. Jackson and Clark Gregg. It opens on May 4, 2012.
The level of detail he's talking about is astounding. I mean, imagine how much work it'd be to composite someone like Robin Williams.
Planet of the Apes is a different film, Andrew.
Wait, am I in the wrong thread? How did they mix up the Ruffalo/Franco casting?
Either this is pitch perfect sarcasm, or you need some explaining that the other comment was pitch perfect sarcasm.
I cannot wait uncle mark

"You play fantasy hockey. What do you care about the Cup?"
I don't often use this space for personal stories, but this will be an exception after I spent the better part of eight hours with the Stanley Cup on Monday.
I'll be getting around to that blasphemous quote soon enough, but here's a quick aside for the background to the story: Lord Stanley's mug spent the day in Brant County, Ontario, as part of the municipality's bid to raise public funds for a new twin-pad arena. I covered the events as the sports reporter for the local paper.
On to the meat of the story. At the first event, the county was accepting donations in order to see and photograph the Cup along with Paris, Ontario, native Jay Wells (whose name is engraved on the Cup along with the rest of the 1993-94 New York Rangers). It was here that I watched hundreds of kids shuffle through to get a glimpse of the trophy. I almost don't want to say it because it sounds contrived and cliché, but it's essential I mention that I did notice the awe in many of their eyes as they stood next to the Stanley Cup for a photo. That got me thinking a little. ...
Then there were the dads I spoke to who had children far too young to ever remember the day. When I asked why they came out, the answer was often a simple, "because it's the Cup and because it's here." That got me pondering a little. ...
What really got me dwelling on how important the Cup is as an iconic image, though, was not the very young. It was actually an 80-year-old woman who came to the event all by herself. She stood alone admiring the Cup for several minutes then shuffled over to Jay Wells for a quiet autograph. When I asked her why she made the trip, she said, "Oh, I just really like hockey." That's it. She likes hockey. Period.
Here was someone who doesn't sit around crunching numbers or ranking players. She doesn't assign value to players and then decide which ones are "worth something." I'm quite positive -- though I honestly didn't ask -- that she doesn't feel she "owns" any players, and I doubt she's "dropped" any of them lately. She likes hockey for what it is, and she made sure to go see the Stanley Cup when the opportunity knocked. Just to see it.
It made me realize that we, as fantasy players, can get a little too wrapped up in the numbers game. Who is worth what? Who is on a hot streak? Which goalie is taking over as starter? Even worse, as fantasy players, the allure of the playoffs can sometimes be dampened by the onset of fantasy baseball and the fact that the fantasy hockey season ends with the NHL's regular season.

We should all take some time to take a step back once in a while and watch a hockey game without worrying about who scores and who is on the ice when they do. We need to remember to treat the game with the same reverence I watched so many people give the Cup.
Luckily, I had already been thinking about all this by the time the evening gala with the Cup rolled around and I had a conversation with someone who delivered that quote at the top: "You play fantasy hockey. What do you care about the Cup?" ... So naturally, I had an answer equipped that explained to him how we aren't just stat-heads on a math mission, and that we play fantasy hockey because we love the game so much.
Though I did admit that sometimes we fantasy folks could use a friendly reminder to that effect…
And in a hypocritical turn of events, I now continue this column by justifying why some players are ranked higher than others, overanalyzing line combinations and going on mini math missions. Enjoy!
Rising and Falling
Marian Hossa, RW, Blackhawks (up 45 spots): Beating the most optimistic recovery forecast for his offseason surgery and scoring two goals in his return, Hossa makes an enormous leap into elite territory this week. The initial depth chart has him on the ice with Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane almost exclusively, giving the Hawks a line with their three most potent weapons. Not only should Hossa experience a boost in production, but Toews and Kane could be in for good things as well. With 57 games left, it wouldn't be a shock to see Hossa on pace for 60 points despite the missed time. He should be as productive as he was in his peak seasons with the Atlanta Thrashers.
Dustin Penner, LW, Oilers (up 13 spots): I consider myself among those who believed in a resurgent Penner this season, but even I am surprised to see him at No. 6 on the ESPN Player Rater with two months of the season elapsed. Penner is a perfect fit for coach Pat Quinn's style, and he is using his strength to control the puck like he did when he made a name for himself with the Anaheim Ducks. With Ales Hemsky out for the season, Penner has no more competition for the title of "most valuable Edmonton Oiler" and he continues to answer the bell. There is no more questioning it: He is, for all intents and purposes, elite this year.
Chris Kunitz, LW, Penguins (down 24 spots): You may question the size of the drop in the rankings for a player who is due to return from injury sooner than later, but Kunitz will no longer be guaranteed a roster spot next to Sidney Crosby or Evgeni Malkin. Maxime Talbot is now back from a shoulder injury that has kept him out of the lineup all season, and his particular mix of grit and skill is alluring for any configuration of the Pittsburgh Penguins' top six forwards. Consider that the third line is almost completely set in stone with Michael Rupp, Jordan Staal and Tyler Kennedy, and you can see how easy it is to be concerned about Kunitz. I doubt he'd slip to fourth-line minutes, but he may end up on some kind of rotation in the top six. Either way, his production after he heals a lower-body injury doesn't look nearly as promising as it did when Talbot was also hurt.
Scoring Lines
•Devin Setoguchi is being eased back from a leg injury that has kept him out of the San Jose Sharks' lineup on two separate stints this season. He'll still be productive, but he no longer looks to have the potential of a No.1 forward.
•If Alex Ovechkin's knee injury doesn't turn out to be serious, have a look at Alexandre Giroux for possible deep-league help. He has skated with Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom over the past two games.
•As David Backes begins to heat up for his second-half tear, he seems to be bringing his linemates -- Paul Kariya and T.J. Oshie -- with him. In the past three games, Kariya has flashed a shots-on-goal pace we haven't seen from him since the 1990s, taking 19 shots in that span. For his part, Oshie has four points in his past four games.
•The line making noise in the desert at the moment is one consisting of Scottie Upshall, Matthew Lombardi and Lauri Korpikoski. Korpikoski actually was just filling in for the injured Peter Mueller. Consider it just one more reason to be down in Mueller this season.
Power Plays
•Despite ranking eighth on the team in power-play time over the past five games, David Krejci is showing signs of his sophomore form with three power-play points.
•There is the Ducks power play we all know and love. Corey Perry, Ryan Getzlaf and Teemu Selanne have a combined nine power-play points in their past five contests.

Nielsen expects Ponting to fight back
Watch session-by-session highlights of every Ashes Test on ecb.co.uk/video
Ricky Ponting has no intention of relinquishing the Australia captaincy and has the backing of coach Tim Nielsen.
Ponting will miss the final Ashes Test in Sydney with a broken finger after England retained the urn with a resounding innings victory in Melbourne, adding fuel to growing speculation that his time in charge of Australia has come to an end.
Michael Clarke has been named as captain in his place, but the 36-year-old Ponting intends to ensure that is only a temporary measure.
Ponting has the backing of Australia coach Nielsen who, when asked if the batsman had captained his last match, said: "I wouldn't have thought so.
"He'll miss this Test match through injury and Michael has been named as his replacement while his finger recovers. I still think there's plenty of kick in the old dog yet, so to speak.
"Ricky, as he's the first to admit, hasn't had the best series but he's been a tremendous leader for us and still is.
"I expect once his finger's right and he's back playing cricket I expect he'll assume the leadership role again."
Ponting played through the injury in the fourth Test at the MCG, but further x-rays have now shown he may need surgery, which could cut into his preparations for the World Cup.
"I had a good chat with him last night," Nielsen added.
"His finger was still really sore. It was a really difficult decision for him [to withdraw] because he didn't want to be seen to be or feel like he was leaving his mates behind.
"That's the style of man he is. Ultimately, it's just a situation where the finger won't allow him to perform at this best...it's hard enough to perform at your best under the pressure we've been under in the past four or five weeks without having injuries to compromise that also.
"With a look to what we have coming up, more problems with the finger could have meant a much longer-term concern. I think, with the medical staff, he's made a very prudent decision with an eye to playing some good cricket for Australia again as soon as he can."
Pakistan-born batsman Usman Khawaja has come into the 12-man squad in place of Ponting, and Nielsen has challenged the 24-year-old to show he can be Ponting's long-term replacement when the captain eventually does retire.
"Ricky Ponting isn't going to play for Australia forever," Nielsen said. "Someone's got to bat a number three after him and they're always going to feel a little bit of pressure stepping into his shoes.
"There's always going to be comparisons made and whoever does that will have big shoes to fill. But Usman has been, if not the best, in the top couple of domestic players over the past couple of years.
"Technically he's very sound and mentally he's strong and looking forward to the opportunity. I think he'll do a good job."
Ponting was adamant that he would return to lead his country sooner rather than later.
"It's not in my thinking at all," Ponting said, when asked if he may have played his last Test match.
"I want to keep playing, I've made that pretty clear not only this week but right through the summer.
"I think I've got a lot to offer as a player and as the captain of the Australian team and I want to continue to do that, so unfortunately I can't play this week, it's probably going to mean I'm going to miss the one-dayers in Australia as well.
"But with a World Cup around the corner I want to be the best player and leader I can through that tournament and to hopefully win our fourth consecutive World Cup would be great.
"And I want to play Test cricket post-World Cup as well, so that's what's in the future for me."
Should Khawaja impress, he may secure the number three position and force Ponting to move down the order on his return, something the latter acknowledges, albeit reluctantly.
"I always enjoy batting higher in the order," Ponting said. "When I first came into the side batting at number six I found it a bit more difficult. I was much more comfortable batting up the order at three and I think I've had a reasonable career at three.
"If it's best for the team for me to stay at number three I'll continue to do that. If I think it better for the team to move down the order then I'll think about that as well."

Very nice job you did with the plugin. I have just a little question. I need to display the job list for a certain category to the homepage or other pages. I have read the other threads and find an article how to display the whole job list:
$posts = jobman_display_jobs_list( 'all' );
echo $posts[0]->post_content;
Now all I need is to filter it to show only the jobs for a certain category... here I'm stuck. I tried to put instead of "all" parameter the id of my category or the slug but no luck.
Any ideas ?
Thank you for your time.
