If Only…
It doesn't help my photography one bit, but I like to collect stats on things that occur during the business day, week, year and decade because, well, I just love trivia. I don't count how many paperclips we use at WRP (which, with the advent of digital we hardly use them anymore) but I do count how many times certain questions are asked. I've written and spoken many times that the #2 email question I receive is, "What is the best f/stop?" With that trivia thrown out there, I've never been asked what's the number one question. Looking over the stats for 2009, I was surprised that one question had eked its way up into the #10 spot.
"If you only had one lens to use, what would it be?" Now you might think this question is a sign of the times, budgets are thin, or a photographer just starting out, trying to make the most of the dollar they have. But I've been asked this question since 1991 when the 1st edition of Nikon System Handbook was released. What always gets me is, typically folks preface the if only question with, "I just read over the contents of your camera bag" which to me kinda indicates that I feel that I need more than one lens for my photography. Of course when I point this out, that I have many lenses, each one filling a particular notch in my visual quest, they still repeat the if only question.
This leads me to a much bigger question and one much more important to photography then my stats. Why do photographers tend to limit themselves? Doesn't life do that enough without our seeking such limits? My 600VR, my baby, went in for its annual check-up in December. That was the longest 8 days when it wasn't sitting next to me at my desk. Birds were coming in but I couldn't do a thing without the 600mm. At least that was my first reaction. I had two choices, not take any photographs or, push the imagination and try some other lens on some other subject. You'd think at first that the only lens I did own was the 600mm during those 8 days by my mobbing but it was quite obvious very quickly the only limitation was my imagination and not my lens selection.
"If you could only go one place this year to shoot, where would you go?" Another if only question I receive (doesn't make the countdown) also seems to be a self-defeating question. I am incredibly fortunate and I will go to many places this year, all places I want to go to. With that said, just because I want to go to them and plan to go to them, will they produce great images just because I'm there? About half the time, no, I'll get skunked and that's with all my contacts and expertise. If only it weren't so bloody hot here in Yellowstone where I am right now I could make some incredible images (it's +40 hotter than normal). But it is that hot and it's still Yellowstone, and as my good friend just said so well, wouldn't want to be anywhere else right now. I understand folks have vacations they want to plan and often they are shooting vacations. But why limit yourself to some place I might want to go. Hell, I spend time in smelly sumps in Bakersfield for fun, you sure you want to follow me?
If only it was our imaginations we were pushing and not the gear. If only great light were present every time we ventured out with our lens. If only the critters would come to play on our schedule and not theirs. If only there weren't clocks and rules and work and all that horrible stuff that comes to us on the news. If only…
There is no one magical lens, no one magical body, no one magical Photoshop trick or magical computer. There is no one right photographic teacher. What is magical is the spirit in each and every photographer to take the sensory input they receive and turn it into a photograph that can grab the world. There's no if only in this, it is a limitless "if", if the imagination and heart are permitted to do what they do best. Wander! You need a bag of gear (I don't want any calls from spouses from that one), a calendar of time and an area the size of the planet to fill that wandering. And when you start on that quest, then you'll know firsthand that there is no "if only". As soon as you put your right foot in front of your left foot, you'll have the answer and the best part is, you'll have the answer for yourself. Sheyrl Crow sings it best and what I remind myself daily. "It's not having what you want, it's wanting what you've got"
Oh, and what's the #1 question I get asked? What's the B. in my name stand for? My answer is one that was provided me in a phone call we received once. An elderly lady called and asked if the B. stood for Bull. I like that answer!

Prospective Students
Our Music Program
Maybe you want to compose and perform your own music. Or maybe you'd like to share your love for music by helping to inspire the next generation as a teacher. Perhaps you'd rather perform in a band or orchestra, compose music for films, or sing the lead in musical theatre. If these careers sound cool to you, then you should consider a degree in music from Longwood.
Our degree programs are designed to prepare students for careers as performers, public school teachers, and private music instructors. Because of our relatively small size, our students receive a high degree of personal attention. Private applied music study and solo performance are at the heart of all of our programs. Students also learn skills in:
- Music theory and analysis
- Conducting
- Improvisation
- Composition
- Computer-assisted music production
- Music research
Real World/Career Outlook
You've performed solos, conducted groups and presented a senior recital, you've learned analytical methods, researched the history of your music, and perhaps spent a semester as a student teacher. Now it's time for the next step - bringing your talents to the real world. Our students practice their craft on and off campus throughout their college days, becoming involved as professionals in many exciting areas:
- Church music
- Chamber music ensembles
- Private teaching
- Public school teaching
- Vocal groups
- Rock and jazz bands
- Study abroad
If you are determined to build a career in one of the numerous fields within music, our program is perfect for you. A major in music provides quality preparation for life. Employers are searching for college graduates who possess skills emphasized in the study of music, such as abstract reasoning, real-time analytical assessment, team-building, and interpersonal communication. A career in music, or one enhanced by involvement in music, can be one of the most rewarding and fulfilling experiences in today's society. Many of our graduates go on to advanced study in graduate school - The Manhattan School of Music, the Cincinnati College-Conservatory, the University of Maryland, and Louisiana State University are just a few of the institutions recent graduates have attended.
Degree Programs
Longwood offers four different undergraduate degree programs: the Bachelor of Arts in Music, a Bachelor of Arts in Music with Emphasis in Piano Pedagogy, or a Bachelor of Music with concentrations in Education or Performance. We also offer a 20-credit Minor in Music. New students seeking to major in music must audition for the program. All accepted students are enrolled initially in the Bachelor of Arts degree program. Students who so desire may then qualify for acceptance into a Bachelor of Music degree program. The Bachelor of Music in Education requires a Virginia passing score on either the Praxis I or SAT exam. The Bachelor of Music in Performance requires a second, specialized audition. These declarations are normally made at the end of the first year of study at Longwood.
Our award-winning faculty choose from a variety of techniques in order to assist students in accomplishing their learning objectives, including:
Private lessons
- Group lessons and master classes
- In-class discussion and activities
- Collaborative projects with on-campus and off-campus organizations
- Online learning methods such as discussion boards and digitally streamed audio and video
- Community-based service learning and internships
- Innovative ensemble rehearsals and a busy performance schedule
Great teaching is a priority at Longwood. Here you'll be taught by experienced professors - not graduate assistants - who care deeply about helping you maximize your potential.
Students have opportunities to perform as members of distinguished ensembles, such as the Camerata Singers, University Choir, Wind Symphony, and Jazz Ensembles. Smaller groups are also available, including the Chamber Singers, Flute ensemble, and Percussion Ensemble. Each ensemble presents concerts during the year, and many perform off-campus. The larger ensembles travel each year, with highlights including the performance by the Camerata Singers at St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City and the Jazz Ensemble's concert on the Riverwalk in New Orleans. Students can join our professional organization, the National Association for Music Education, as well as either of two national music fraternities, Sigma Alpha Iota (women), and Phi Mu Alpha (men). Our students have also participated in summer institutes or study abroad. Recently, Longwood music students have made specialized study trips to France; spent entire semesters in Dublin, Ireland, and Florence, Italy; attended the Asolo Song Festival in Northern Italy; the Opera Festival in Rome; and a summer workshop in harpsichord performance at the University of Michigan.

CHARGERS: Phillips cited in downtown battery case
SAN DIEGO -- Chargers outside linebacker Shaun Phillips was cited for misdemeanor battery after an incident early Saturday morning at the rooftop bar of the Ivy Hotel, according to a citation made available by the San Diego Police Department.
A hotel security guard alleged that he was hit in the face at roughly 1 a.m. by a man he identified as Phillips, a star defender drafted by the Chargers in 2004, department spokeswoman Monica Munoz said Monday.
"It's disappointing to hear about the issue involving Shaun Phillips," Chargers general manager A.J. Smith said in a statement. "We'll continue to monitor the situation and let the legal process run its course."
Phillips is also listed as a suspect in a battery case that took place at 1:45 a.m. on April 11 at Stingaree, a popular nightclub in downtown San Diego, Munoz said. A club security guard said Phillips punched and choked him that evening, but he didn't report the incident until 6:30 a.m. that morning. There hasn't been a citation or an arrest in that case.
Chargers sign 18, release two
On the day after the end of the NFL draft, the Chargers announced the signing of 18 undrafted free agents to join the eight players selected over the weekend.
The Chargers signed four offensive linemen, four defensive linemen, four wide receivers, two tight ends, two defensive backs, a fullback and a running back.
LSU inside linebacker Darry Beckwith headlines the group. Beckwith was a highly regarded player once thought worthy of an early-round selection. He's known as an aggressive hitter and a stout run stuffer, but his draft stock suffered because of knee injuries that plagued him throughout his college career.
Also signed were OT Samuel Allen (Grand Valley State), RB Curtis Brinkley (Syracuse), WR Greg Carr (Florida State), WR Jeremy Childs (Boise State), LB Anthony Felder (Cal), OT Dan Gay (Baylor), LB James Holt (Kansas), DT Rashaad Jackson (Clemson), WR Charles Martin (West Texas A&M), C Ryan McDonald (Illinois), OG Ben Muth (Stanford), CB Wopamo Osaisai (Stanford), WR Rodgeriqus Smith (Auburn), TE Kory Sperry (Colorado State), S Claude Spillman (Marshall), TE Jerimiah Wurzbacher (North Dakota State) and FB William Rentmeester (Wisconsin).
The Chargers also waived TE Scott Chandler and DB DeJaun Tribble. Chandler, a fourth-round pick in 2007, spent last season on injured reserve, and Tribble spent most of the year on the practice squad.

Public Rights-of-Way Assessment Instrumentation to Determine Accessibility
Director of Research and Development
(775) 783-8822
Research Associate
(775) 783-8822
City planners and engineers need detailed assessments of public rights-of-way to evaluate existing conditions, determine compliance with draft accessibility guidelines, and plan reconstruction projects. Current assessment methods are inadequate and inefficient due to the time and resources required. This project will develop an automated public rights-of-way assessment process and the measurement instrumentation necessary to accurately and efficiently assess public rights-of-way corridors, sidewalk elements, and sidewalk features. The instrumentation will include software with a graphical user interface, a Structured Query Language (SOL) data structure, and a report generator to facilitate the creation of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) transition plans. Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping tools will also be created to build sidewalk mapping layers. An assessment process training and certification program will be developed to ensure proper instruction and to facilitate widespread implementation. This project will develop the methodologies, instrumentation, and training required to economically generate the objective information needed to improve the safety and accessibility of public rights-of-way.

I'm not stalking Roy at all.
Roy by virtue of his voluminous amount of postings becomes the target.
IOW you can't walk down the street claiming the world is *flat* without
attracting attention.
If Roy doesn't like the heat, he can get out of the fire he has started
around himself.
Additionally, Schestowitz, like you HPT, is a buffoon and thus will
naturally attract people who wish to have a hearty laugh at your expense.

FSAA Causing Artifacting in LineStripPosted Tuesday, 24 November, 2009 - 17:04 by syr1111 in
I have an array of datapoints which I am trying to render as a fairly basic X-Y graph in in Ortho mode. In this case I have data that represents a sine wave as shown in my first attached image.
It all renders fine except that when I scale the graph more in the Y direction to make it taller, then I start getting some really ugly rendering artifacts. Basically random gaps start to form in my LineStrip. If I scale or translate at all in either X or Y then the gaps appear to randomly jump around to different locations in my data. The second attached picture shows an example of this.
The interesting thing is that I found out that if I turn off FSAA then all the artifacts go away. I am create a custom GLControl object as shown here:
public MyGLControl() : base(new OpenTK.Graphics.GraphicsMode(new OpenTK.Graphics.ColorFormat(32), 24, 0, 4, new OpenTK.Graphics.ColorFormat(32)))
And as shown this has the problem. If I change the 4 to a 0 to disable FSAA, then everything renders fine. If I set 2x, or 8x FSAA then it has problems just like 4x.
So I am wondering if anyone has experienced FSAA causing artifacts and how to possibly fix this. I would really like to keep it enabled as high-frequency line plots like I'm showing look terrible without it (moire, etc). Here is my actual plot rendering code. Any input would be very helpful. Thanks.
GL.PushMatrix(); // Adjust vertical scale so complete range of point values fits into a [0.0-1.0] local rendering area GL.Scale(1.0, 1.0 / maxValue, 1.0); GL.Color4(color); unsafe { GL.VertexPointer(2, VertexPointerType.Int, sizeof(Point), data); GL.DrawArrays(BeginMode.LineStrip, startIdx, endIdx - startIdx + 1); } GL.PopMatrix();

This looks like a driver bug. If possible, try testing your app on different hardware and/or updating your drivers.
What video card are you using?
I'm inclined to agree with you. It's been tried on several machines and only shows on some. It appears to be most pervasive with NVIDIA cards and in particular NVIDIA Quadro. Still, I know there are similar rendering issues with certain cards/drivers that can be avoided by tweaking the approach used in the code, and didn't know if someone might have a nice catch-all solution to this.
Many people recommend using textured triangles/quads for this kind of use instead of regular FSAA or primitive multisampling. Here is a very thorough comparison of FSAA vs textured primitive techniques. Granted, this is on older hardware but the concepts are still valid.
The basic idea is to replace the line-strip with a quad- or triangle-strip, enable alpha blending and apply a simple gradient texture. In general, this gives more convincing results than FSAA while being more reliable (it can be used even on GL1.1 hardware). The main drawback is that it may cause artifacts when lines overlap.
Edit: spelling.
Great thanks. I'll check it out.

Solana Beach resident advocates all-natural health remedy to high cholesterol
By Marlena Medford
Staff Writer
After 16 years in the medical device and research world, Solana Beach resident David McMahon is a bona fide numbers guy who stays steeped in black-and-white scientific data. So, he might not be the first person you'd expect would turn to an all-natural health remedy — but when his cholesterol levels crept dangerously high, that's precisely where his research led him.
McMahon is now an advocate of Cardiol, an FDA-registered natural alternative to the pharmaceutical drugs used to treat high cholesterol. Through his newly launched company Solana Health, McMahon is aiming to educate more people about this alternative, which he said has changed his life in a big way.
McMahon, like many Americans, has long battled high cholesterol. He was able to keep it in check through proper diet and exercise, that is, until he turned 40. Instead of handing him a prescription, his doctor recommended he begin an all-natural regimen of omega-3 fatty acids and red yeast rice with a supplement of CoQ 10. Red yeast rice is an extract from a fungus that naturally occurs, and pharmaceutical companies have synthesized it to develop a class of drugs called Statin, which are now used to lower cholesterol. Omega-3 fatty acids, which are found in fatty fish varieties like sardines and herring, have several health benefits — including raising HDL cholesterol, known as the "good cholesterol," and decreasing triglycerides, which have been linked to heart attacks.
Staying true to his data-driven roots, McMahon went home and started researching the red yeast rice and omega-3 fatty acid regimen his doctor had recommended.
"The big clincher for me was a 2008 study by the Mayo Clinic," he explained. The 12-week study compared two groups of patients with high cholesterol, one used Statin drugs and the other used red-yeast rice and omega-3 fatty acids. Ultimately, he said, the study concluded that both groups saw their cholesterol levels drop about 40 percent — but those taking red yeast rice needed a much smaller quantity to achieve the same result. McMahon said he also read studies that showed it was not uncommon for Statin drug users to report severe muscle pain as a side effect, though that was not the case for those who took red yeast rice.
"That was it, the data won me over," McMahon said.
He took his doctor's advice and started the all-natural regimen and sure enough, his cholesterol went down 20 percent within weeks. But there was still one problem:
"I was taking six pills a day and spending $80 a month to keep it up," he said. "I figured there has to be an 'all-in-one' pill for this."
So he began searching online and discovered Cardiol, which is produced in Italy and has been selling in Europe for years. Unlike the U.S., Europe highly regulates its natural supplements and has high standards. But because Cardiol is produced in Italy, McMahon discovered it would be tricky to have it shipped to the U.S. because of government regulations. McMahon has since gotten Cardiol registered with the FDA and has exclusive rights to distribute throughout North America. He now sells it for $40 a month (or $35 a month if bought in bulk) through his company Solana Health. McMahon has also been taking Cardiol for a couple of months, and said since then, his cholesterol levels have stayed low and his "good cholesterol" levels have gone up about 33 percent, and he's seen a drop in his triglycerides.
"I've put my mom on it, that's how much I believe in it," he said of Cardiol, which comes with a 60-day money-back guarantee. "This is something that's all natural, convenient, affordable, and proven effective. A lot of doctors are prescribing Statin drugs because it's the only trick in their bag — and that might be the right fit for some people, but that doesn't mean it's the right fit for everyone."
For that reason he encourages anyone suffering from high cholesterol to do their homework about natural alternatives and, in fact, McMahon offers a free e-book on the topic at

Sage, the accounting software group, has emerged as the frontrunner to acquire TeamSystem, the Italian business management software group, for up to €650m (£542m).
Final bids for TeamSystem are expected on Friday for the business that has been put up for sale by Bain Capital, the US private equity group. People close to the situation said Sage was expected to outbid HgCapital and Cinven, the private equity groups.
However, one person close to the sale said the auction of TeamSystem, which Bain acquired in 2004 for €274m, was still competitive and the outcome was uncertain.
An acquisition by Sage would represent an early move by Guy Berruyer, who was named as chief executive of the group just two weeks ago.
It would also signal a return to the acquisition trail by Sage after several barren years.
The Newcastle-based group was a regular dealmaker during two decades of rapid growth as it sought fresh impetus to acquire more customers. Its acquisition-led strategy reached a peak in 2006 when it spent £617.5m, including its largest deal to date: the £307m purchase of Emdeon Practice Services.
If Sage does buy TeamSystem it would be a role-reversal from four years ago when it was outbid by HgCapital for Visma, the Norwegian software group.
Mr Berruyer, a 59-year-old French national was promoted from head of Sage's mainland European operations, beating off competition from Paul Harrison, chief financial officer, and Paul Stobart, head of UK operations, to replace the departing Paul Walker, who stood down after 16 years as chief executive.
Sage has fallen behind rivals in key emerging technology areas, such as offering software as a service to customers rather than the traditional off-the-shelf software that customers load on to their own computers.
Many shareholders have been hoping that new leadership would be able to take action to catch up.
In the US, Microsoft and SAP have targeted the top end of Sage's market while Kashflow and Netsuite have targeted smaller potential customers.
While Sage has waited for its markets to rebound, it has focused on generating cash to reduce net debt, which has fallen from £558m in March 2009 to £280m in June 2010.
The group has a £650m syndicated bank facility expiring in August 2011 and plans to complete its refinancing during 2010.
Under Bain's ownership, TeamSystem has grown rapidly by acquiring smaller Italian rivals in the market for providing business management software to help small and medium-sized businesses with accounting, human resources and payroll.
Sage, HgCapital, Bain and Cinven all declined to comment. Sage shares closed down 4.7p at 243.8p.

Want a more detailed analysis on Israel's natural gas market? IBR can do it for you…read here for more
Another terrorist attack on Egyptian natural gas pipeline
The disruptions in the natural gas pipeline from Egypt continue: on July 4th there was a terrorist attack on the natural gas pipeline that connects to Israel, Jordan and Lebanon. There was a bombing of the pipeline roughly 60 KM east of the Suez Canal; this is the third bombing of the pipeline this year. This time, however the disruption was fixed very promptly and there were impediments in the natural gas flow for less than two days.
Due to the increased risk in importing natural gas from Egypt, Israel is seeking new ways to produce energy by substituting natural gas with Diesel fuel. Since it will be at least two years until Israel could start using the natural gas found in the natural gas cache – Tamar, Israel might switch back to Diesel fuel.
The electric company already issued a formal request to the Israeli government to assist in purchasing 650 million tonnes of Diesel fuel for 2011. This move is likely to raise the prices (directly and indirectly) of electricity in the following months to come.
New estimates on the Mira and Sarah natural gas caches
According to recent news, the estimates on the probabilities of finding 4.6 trillion CF in "Mira" and 1.9 trillion CF in "Sarah" are 58% and 43%, respectively. This estimate was provided by one of the members that holds the licenses on these natural gas developments – "Hachshara Energy".
Underneath these caches, there is an additional compound probability of nearly 18% of finding 151 million bbl of crude oil.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
Christopher Newton's job history includes stints at PSI, the City of Arlington, TX, the City of Marysville, WA, and TERRA Associates of Kirkland, WA. Christopher Newton is currently the Engineer C- Team Leader for the City of Austin, TX, Public Works Department. Recently, it changed its name to the Quality Standards and Management Division, the brainchild of his UT Austin idiotic classmate Keri Renee Burchard-Juarez.
In our opinion, Christopher Newton's such a bad engineer that he's being used as an example across the nation. Don't take our word for it. We have physical evidence that proves it. He wrote a memo telling his team members not to review structural engineering aspects of plans because the engineer of record seals them. The problem is that this violates the Texas Engineers Practices Act. In addition, Christopher Newton wrote false statements about this engineer's bad performance even though he gave this person has excellent recommendations for years in previous written statements.
When this engineer brought the infamous Newton memo to the attention of the proper authorities such City Attorney Gordon Bowman, City Attorney Kathleen Buchanan, several engineers, Keri Burchard-Juarez, City of Austin Public Works Department HR Manager Dianna Robles aka Dianna Martinez-Robles, Mike Boyle, Steve (or Steven Penshorn), the engineer was harassed by Christopher Newton. Christopher Newton screamed at the top of his lungs and stated that he was slandered. Sounds like he was living one of his alleged mental breakdown episodes he allegedly experienced? What's even more ironic is that he never consulted the city attorney before he wrote that infamous memo and the attorney's free for his use! We even got a copy of the City of Austin memo City of Austin Public Works Department Engineer C - Team Leader Christopher Newton, son of Mary Newton, wrote from the engineer he had fired. It is unbelievable! We bet his former Terra Associates bosses Mr. Ted Schepper & Mr. Chuck R. Lie will be surprised what kind of engineer they hired for their firm in 2007. We heard the City of Arlington, TX, got a copy of that memo because they are worried their insurance will go up.
In this memo, City of Austin Public Works Department Engineer C - Team Leader Christopher Newton, son of Mary Newton, says such untrue things such as plan review engineers shall not use outside knowledge in their reviews. We wonder how many construction attorneys would make the city liable for his stupid
statements. That is not engineering, Mr. Newton! That's kicking your own a*s, Mr. Newton!
During a response to the Texas Board of Professional Engineers, City of Austin Public Works Department
Engineer C - Team Leader Christopher Newton, son of Mary Newton, stated that his fellow employees should not brief other engineers about things they discover during a review. Does this show inefficiency and stupidity in City of Austin or what! We guess Newton's so idiotic he would rather screw his fellow city workers than to do the right thing. Christopher Newton stated he doesn't believe in the U.S. Constitution because he failed to allow himself to be cross-examined in a trial setting. When he does believe in rules, it's for his own personal benefit and not the benefit of others he opposes. He is this inferior.
City of Austin Public Works Department Engineer C - Team Leader Christopher Newton, son of Mary Newton, told an engineer he has more experience than him even though he graduated the same year at this engineer did according to his UT Austin transcript. Speaking of transcripts, you can request a copy of it from the Texas Board of Professional Engineers. We got a copy of his UT Austin Bachelor of Science transcript. It is quite revealing. Christopher Newton really isn't smart if you look at his grades at UT Austin. Let's go over the grades Newton has earned on key subjects in the civil engineering curriculum when he was a five-year student at UT Austin, shall we?
Statics & Dynamics
Mechanics of Solids
Property & Behavior of Engineering Materials C
Fluid Mechanics
Geotechnical Engineering
Introduction to Geology
Transportation Systems
Physics II
Structural Analysis
Technical Communication
Issues & Policies of American Government D
City of Austin Public Works Department Engineer C - Team Leader Christopher Newton, son of Mary Newton, was on academic probation for at least 8 semesters of the 10 semesters he was at UT Austin. His GPAs were 1.93, 1.80, 1.43, 1.50, 1.50, 1.75, 1.80, and 1.666!
City of Austin Public Works Department Engineer C - Team Leader Christopher Newton, son of Mary Newton, never took any courses in structural engineering such as reinforced concrete design, structural steel design, wood design, reinforced masonry design, and prestressed concrete design. We believe that's due to the fact he got Ds in Structural Analysis, Physics II, and Mechanics of Solids. Maybe this explains why Christopher Newton wrote that memo to that engineer telling him not to review structural engineering designs. Christopher Newton, son of Mary Newton and father of Tessa Newton, Natasha Newton & Andrea Newton, wrote that memo in a failed attempt to hide his academic inferiority.
We think it would be in the public's best interest to know who Christopher Newton really is. The best way
to do this is to publicly release the reviews he has done on various government reviews such as those from the cities of Arlington & Austin in the great state of Texas. They are public documents, so there is nothing he can do about their release.
During one of his reviews, Christopher Newton, son of Mary Newton forgot to ensure the walls at the Sycamore Subdivision would not tip over and kill people by stating it on the plans. Christopher Newton, son of Mary Newton, was even stupid enough to sign and seal the drawings to prove it was safe. We cannot wait for someone to die from his stupidity.
In another bunch of reviews, Christopher Newton stated he didn't need to do them because the city of Austin had no jurisdiction. That is a big bucket of wrong because City of Austin Title 30 says otherwise! We can't wait until these facilities have major issues so the public can have the biggest laugh. For his inconvenience, we have sent his memo to all the companies involved in City of Austin projects.
In another review, Christopher Newton, son-in-law of Howard Black, stated that a FEMA flood plain was not a drainage easement to a fellow employee. Everyone at FEMA couldn't quit laughing at him when they saw this email. It's great that FEMA can now save money by not awarding it to the City of Austin!
When it comes to reviewing retaining walls, Christopher Newton does not even review them for structural safety because he claims the engineer of record seals the drawings according to the memo he wrote to this employee! We got a copy of his proposed checklist and it is outright bad at its best because it lacks structural engineering items such as crack control provisions, checks of shear strength, and flexural reinforcing in reinforced concrete retaining walls. Yes, folks, Christopher Newton has demonstrated he is incapable of understanding his strength of materials class.
When it comes to saving taxpayer money, Christopher Newton plays politics at the detriment of city taxpayers. When two of his team members discovered dangerous building flaws at the Pilot Knob Pump Station, Newton told them to shut up. When Newton was told of money-saving ideas for the Lady Bord Boardwalk, he decided to ignore them so the Trail Foundation could pay the city of Austin an additional $3 million. When Newton was told of the money-saving ideas of the Waterloo Park at Waller Creek facility, he ignored them. When one of Newton's engineers offered to do value engineering for WTP4, Newton told that engineer to shut up. Thanks to Newton the $360 million project is $45 million over budget according to the city auditor! These things have one theme in common: Newton is willing to screw the taxpayers who fund his salary so he can have job security instead of making himself look good as a Team Leader. The reason he did this to that employee is because he feared his job because that engineer would make him look inferior.
Our favorite mistake comes to us from east Austin. It's the Turner Roberts Recreation Center. Three years
after it was opened, the building started settling. Block walls holing up the roof trusses were having problems. The city entered mediation with the builder and the architect. Mr. Newton made one of the bone-headed mistakes of writing the infamous memo. Instead of the city getting a new building, they had to pay for demolition costs and the new building because of Mr. Newton's most infamous memo stating the city doesn't review structural engineering issues. The contractor and architect were happy to receive his memo.
When it comes to breaking city policy, Christopher Newton is an expert. He refuses to respond to potential
employers that contact him. Newton does not want people to discover how much of an idiot he truly is. City of Austin Public Works Department Engineer C - Team Leader Christopher Newton, son of Mary
Newton, is really self-centered and is derived from an allegedly imperfect mother.
Speaking of not returning phone calls to prospective employers, City of Austin Public Works Department Engineer C - Team Leader Christopher Newton, son of Mary Newton and father of Tessa, Natasha & Andrea Newton, failed to return phone calls on November 18, 22, 24, 28 & 30, 2011; December 5, 7, 9, 13, 15, 19, 21, 22, 28 & 30, 2011; January 3, 5, 10 & 11, 2012. We saw this posted at a few malls in the Dallas, San Antonio, Houston, and Dallas areas. Californians and New Mexicans love reading about Newton as well. Christopher Newton is a savage life-form who cannot even follow his own rules! The only true way for Newton to feel superior is to ruin all those that are better than he is and that will never change.
City of Austin Public Works Department Engineer C - Team Leader Christopher Newton doesn't want to answer why his bosses Austin Assistant City Manager Robert Goode (more like Robert No Goode) & City of Austin Public Works Director Howard Lazarus demanded a former employee withdraw complaints to the Texas Board of Professional Engineers as a condition for this employee to have a neutral job reference. Christopher Newton refused to do that. Christopher Newton doesn't want to answer why he requires two signatures on a plan review letter when all other city departments require one. Even worse, City of Austin Public Works Department Engineer Christopher Newton does not want to answer why he sets a bad example for his three daughters Tessa, Natasha, and Andrea.
Many people may know that he's a member of the Highpointe HOA Board in Dripping Springs, TX. Wouldn't these people love knowing that they have a professional engineer on their staff who looks the other way instead of defending the HOA's interests when it comes to engineering projects? Here they are below:
Saralee Keropian
Peggy Goggans
Jennifer Behe
Lacey Karnauch - Secretary
Keisha Lacy-French
Dave Benton Chair
Gary Morton
Richard White
Dwayne Johnson
We expect Christopher Newton to lie and distort facts to fit his corrupt agenda because he wants to keep himself employed at the City of Austin as long as possible. Newton will even go after someone's past for some little thing they did many years ago in a sick and twisted effort to cover up his workplace bullying he has inflicted on his employees over the years. Christopher Newton is this bad. After all, this is a person who brews beer in his garage some say it may be illegal.
It is widely known that Christopher Newton works for a city that participates in unlawful incarceration of protesting citizens, unlawful incarceration of their employees for requesting past pay stubs for their life-saving medications, unlawful interference of unemployment claims, retaliation against employees for reporting violations of the Texas Engineers Practices Act and other laws, shooting the dogs of innocent pet owners, blacklisting of their former employees, unlawful theft of personal property, economic waste of taxpayer money on municipal projects, and even stealing artwork from 3 year old little Hispanic girls! Remember, thanks to the efforts of Mr. Newton, at the City of Austin, they didn't invent blacklisting and fraud, waste & abuse, they just perpetrate it.
Folks, we know of the many employees Mr. Newton has ruined over the years. He needs to stop his workplace bullying. He needs to leave the City of Austin now.
Here's one commercial we made for the City of Austin we made about Mr. Newton. What do you think?
Hello, we're the storytellers. No one has time to waste, and that's why at the City of Austin, they've
tailored their harassments to wreck the knowledgeable employee's busy life. Every day, they deliver major falsehoods and doctored evidence of their skewed viewpoints. There's no fact-checking. There's lots of fluff. They make sure they ruin their taxpayers while wasting your time and dime. Christopher Newton of City of Austin, (TX), engineering stupidity you can count on!
Check out the new commercial for the City of Austin. It's great! What do you think?
At the City of Austin, Christopher Newton's ready.
Newton's ready to screw you well in advance.
His most important job is to keep you and your family stupid. That's what he does day by day. He's constantly thinking up ways to rip off their taxpayers with the schemes he is developing. Harassment of co-workers for no reason can happen quickly. And in any season, that's what he focuses on most!
Christopher Newton of the City of Austin in the great state of Texas.
He's ready.
He's ready. He's ready to screw you.
That's engineering stupidity you can count on!

Highpointe HOA Member & City of Austin Employee Christopher Newton Participated in ARRA Stimulus Fraud
AUTHOR: Mike Allen Fan - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Sunday, December 02, 2012POSTED: Sunday, December 02, 2012
Guess what we found out? The OIG DOT has officially declared that the City of Austin was found guilty of ARRA Stimulus Fraud. City of Austin Public Works (now Quality Standards and Management Division) employee Christopher Newton participated in the illegal firing of one of his employees after the employee found out that Newton was accepting substandard concrete in those Dynamic Messaging signs around the city of Austin that were installed last year. The city was forced to mitigate the situation. They loved his infamous memo that he wrote to a fellow employee stating that the city of Austin does not review structural engineering aspects of plans. Christopher Newton can stop blacklisting all the employees he has fired for no good reason now.
The assist for the municipal stupidity in the 14th largest city in the U.S. goes out to Keri Burchard-Juarez aka Keri Juarez, David Juarez, Steve Penshorn, Howard Lazarus, Brian Craig, James Snow, Marc Ott, Alicia Olmstead McCown, Mark Washington, Kenneth Mory, Rustin Roussel, Richard Fraser, Lisa Whitworth, Natalee Patrice Shackelford-Baugh, Dianna Robles aka Dianna Martinez-Robles, Jessica Katzaman-Ray, James Snow, Robert Hinojosa, Dr. Robert Lamb, Gail Hamrick-Pigg, Andres Justo, Gordon Bowman aka Cindy Gooldrick's husband, Mike Boyle aka Michael Boyle, Ruben Cantu, Steven Castleberry, Cuong Gia Tran aka Cuong Tran, Athena Dinise Gobert aka Athena Gobert aka Althena Anderson, Martin Culver, Melissa Pool, Ray Baray, and countless people we cannot name.
It was so fun we sent this out to the entire media outlets all over Austin. We can't wait to give this to all the contractors so they can get their free money.
Christopher Newton, you are Austin's Weakest Link - goodbye!

Event Rentals Files Under Chapter 11, Seeks New Owner
By Peg Brickley
Event Rentals Inc. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Thursday, seeking a new owner to take over its business, which provides napkins, tents, tables and other necessities for events from the Super Bowl to backyard weddings.
The company said it hadn't landed an offer yet from a buyer committed to keeping it running but is in "advanced discussions with…lenders" about a sale that will be tested at auction. Event Rentals said it has financing to see it through an expedited sale process.
Affiliates including Classic Party Rentals filed for protection along with Event Rentals in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Wilmington, Del.
Event Rentals is looking for a fast sale, with a deal closed "no more than 105 days" after the filing. In court papers, it described its operations as "a good business with a bad balance sheet that could become a great business with the appropriate deleveraging and subsequent capital investments."
The private-equity backed company blamed its liquidity problems on an ill-timed growth spurt at a time when corporations started reining in conspicuous party spending during the economic downturn. "Even those clients successfully weathering the economic storm were cautious about flaunting their good fortunes," Event Rentals said in court papers.

This website which formerly utilised Freewebs in its formative years, has never reached its former glory, principally due to the limitations of One.com my provider. However, it was deemed necessary to change to this provider, because of the greater amout of storage given. Also One.com is gradually adding new facilities so things can only get better!
The migration from one provider to the next is also not fully compatible so I have virtually had to rebuild this site from scratch. This is far harder than I ever first envisaged
Nonetheless it still boasts a number of the feature stories that once appeared there, and also some new ones. This site is constantly under construction, and ongoing, so bear with me! Please return regularly for updates!
Nonetheless it still boasts a number of the feature stories that once appeared there, and also some new ones.
E Books & Books
I have decided to suspend any further newspaper index updates, as these can now be found on the Barking & Dagenham Post website from 2002 onwards in their E Editions ................... http://www.bdpost.co.uk/home/e-edition
Anyone who wants copies of my previous indexes: note that they are still available at a modest fee. These include, the Barking Shop Survey of 2004; along with the 'Newspaper Indexes', which are available to download immediately as an E-Book at a modest fee: or a more serious users can purchase a 'Print on demand' paperback. If you wish to know more please do not hesitate to contact me on the e-mail address below.
Also available here for download or paperbacks are: "A Roam Through Chadwell Heath" and a new updated version "Health & Sanitation in Barking Town in the 1800s".
If you have any items memories or photographs of the Borough for inclusion in the new pages, please send them to me, and I will do my best to include them somewhere. I am always open to receive articles. Please remember though, that as Editor I do have to edit sometimes, even if it is just to allow these to fit within the confines of the format given.
Web Site
The web site in its first year from 2006-07 received over 5,000 hits. Its second year has proved even more successful, as in November 2008 the count was well in excess of 20,000... far more than I ever thought possible when I came up with the idea. Today the web site has some 29,000 hits.
I am still trying to add more pictures to the features but again it is not easy to add pictures to the articles, as there are many formatting issues.
Although, I will continue to endeavour to do so as I think new material is one of the successes of the site, the constant updating of the pages and adding new features.
All the items have been prepared by myself for the site, and although many are my copyright, I do not mind other's utilising details from them for personal usage only. If you are using them for other uses please contact me. Alot of the newer pictures are also my copyright.
Again the Guestbook is proving a difficulty, but I am still working on it for your comments, if you have found these pages of interest. You can for the present still e-mail me direct.
Feel free to write and share your memories here, and to send pictures of the Barking, Chadwell Heath and Dagenham regions. If you have any photographs that you wish to share on the district I am always happy and grateful to do so. Please scan them over to me at my e-mail address.
Site Highlights
I hope to eventually return most of the old favourites to the website, even with the loss of some features, like videos and sound. One.com has recently (May 2013) introduced a method of loading video's so I shall be experimenting with that over the coming months.
The abridged version of The Rental for Barking Abbey, dated 1456, for the northern part of the town. The southern part of the town has yet to be processed principally due to demand.
The abridged version of a section of the Barking Ministers' Account for the Manor of Barking, dated 1540 is available.
Also available is a Place Name Index of The Survey of the Manor of Barking in 1609 in Word format (although does not appear here). The original of which was taken during the reign of James I.

The 2004 Barking Town Shop Survey can currently be obtained from Lulu.com. A fully searchable version can be made for Microsoft Access.
There are further surveys of Barking's shops which I took in 1988, 1993, 1998, and 2009. Due to the amount work involved a fee will be charged if anybody requires these, as they are not currently in print. These will be produced as a paper copy, directly from me. Please enquire for details! A new survey should be produced next year at some point.
A large part of my collection comprises of Transport information for Barking & Dagenham. This includes: stagecoach, turnpike, tram, trolleybus, omnibus, bus & train timetables, maps, tickets, magazines and other ephemera.

News 12 at Six O'Clock, June 5, 2007
Aiken, SC---There's been a rash of break-ins in one south side Aiken neighborhood. It happened in the Gem Lakes neighborhood that's just off Silver Bluff Road. Police say some people are making it even easier for thieves to steal your stuff.
Charles Spencer's truck was stolen right out of his own driveway. "I came home and parked my truck but I didn't lock it," he said. According to the police report Spencer told officers he may have even left the keys still in the truck. "It was a slip up, I was tired and left it open, I usually put it in the garage," Spencer said. Just a block away four more of his neighbors were hit on Saturday night, all of them on the same street on Lakeside Drive. "We had a number of break-ins over the weekend, some were by force others were not," said Aiken Public Safety Officer, Lt. David Turno.
Two other victims admitted to officers they also believe they left their doors unlocked, in one case the thieves got away with $100 he left in the console of his SUV, another realized the next morning his 9 millimeter handgun with two loaded magazines were nowhere to be found. Officers say that's what they call a crime of opportunity. "Just takes moments, doesn't take long at all, in less than a minute they can be in a car and out especially if something is in plain view to be taken," he said. An expensive lesson, Spencer wishes he never had to learn. "I miss my truck that's my baby."
Lt. Turno says they don't have a description on the possible suspects in the latest rash of break-ins so he advises everyone to keep their doors locked and keep an eye on who's coming in and out of your neighborhood.

Synthesis of HDL Code for FPGA Design Using System Generator
There has been considerable recent interest in defining a Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) to facilitate code reuse in the signal processing subsystems of software-defined radios. HDL for FPGA-based signal processing is a significant aspect of such HAL efforts. In this paper, the authors show how a platform-based approach to FPGA design that provides a high level of design abstraction can also provide the ability to target multiple FPGA families from a single source model. The approach combines direct mapping of a Simulink model with code generation of register-transfer level HDL. By exploiting retiming and other optimizations available through logic synthesis, it is possible to obtain very efficient realizations of signal processing functions.

In the latest Keiser Report, Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert discuss the Lilliputian view on fraud and theft and how this applies to the chief banking knaves at JPMorgan. In the second half, Max interviews Marc Armstrong of PublicBanking.org about turning depositors into shareholders as a fraud recipe shared amongst the Too-Big-To-Fail banks. With public banking, interest is returned to the economy from whence it came.

Max Keiser: We Are on a Gold Standard Now, Even Though it is Not Recognized
If you believe that gold no longer plays a role, think again.
In effect, if you know what to look for, the world is on a gold standard now.
Max Keiser with Greg Palast on Larry Summers' Secret 'End Game' Memo
In the latest Keiser Report, Max interviews author, journalist and filmmaker, Greg Palast about the Larry Summers' secret 'End Game' memo and the decriminalization of what were once financial crimes.
Jim Rickards on a Return to a Gold Standard: "The Dollar is Definitely Collapsing"
In this MUST WATCH interview, Currency Wars author Jim Rickards states that the dollar standard is being abandoned by the United States, that it is "definitely collapsing", and that either the IMF's SDR, gold, or a combination of the two will become the next global reserve currency in the dollar's place:
"A return to a gold standard is a possibility, but I don't see that in the immediate future, I think we have to have a collapse first. A collapse of the dollar standard, and the petro-dollar deal. Then it (the dollar) will have to be replaced with something, which will either be the SDR or gold. The dollar standard is definitely collapsing … the collapse is definitely coming"
T. Ferguson & Max Keiser on JP Morgan's Rogue Commodities Desk Cornering Gold
In the latest Keiser Report, Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert discuss America's curse: dollar printing or JP Morgan? They also examine the truth about the fact that despite a mere $4 extra to manufacture a smartphone in America rather than in China, production will remain overseas. In the second half, Max travels upriver to interview Turd Ferguson of TFMetalsReport.com outside JP Morgan's Park Avenue headquarters. Turd reports that JPMorgan has 'cornered' the Comex gold market and also comments on the bank's silver short and their 'rogue' commodities desk, reportedly being investigated by the FBI for obstruction of justice.
Max Keiser: Burn your money! It's worthless anyway
In the latest Keiser Report, Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert discuss Mom and Pop investors taken out on a slab and their wealth burnt to a crisp by the high cathedral of fraud that is the New York Stock Exchange and its degenerate priests of high finance. Max proposes a scheme of mortgages collateralized by food stamps.
Rob Kirby: Interest Rates Are Headed LOWER Via Central Bank IR Swap Interventions!
In the latest Keiser Report, Max talks to Rob Kirby of KirbyAnalytics.com about Mark Carney and his merry band of bankers as the Lone Ranger box office disaster, they've all made their fees while the shareholders and stakeholders eat the losses.
Kirby also predicts lower rates due to central bank intervention via Interest Rate Swaps and Forward Rate Agreements.
Keiser Report: Financial Tapeworms

Jim Rickards: Entity Manipulating Gold May be China, Not the Fed!
In this episode of the Keiser Report, Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert have a look at the narcissists' rally as we drown in central banking their currency wars and their quantitative easing without wealth creation. In the second half, Max talks to Jim Rickards, author of Currency Wars, about why we don't need to worry about a recession – because we're in a depression! They discuss US Federal Chairman, Ben Bernanke's, plan to not Beggar Thy Neighbor, but Enrich They Neighbor by jumping out of the printing plane together with simultaneous devaluations. And, in terms of gold, Keiser and Rickards suggest maybe it's the Chinese manipulating the price of gold . . . and not the US Federal Reserve.
Keiser Report: Sacred DOW
In this episode of the Keiser Report, Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert behold the Sacred Dow, worshipped by economists and analysts around the world and to which whole economies and jobs have been sacrificed to keep it rising. They compare the Japanese bond market to Fukushima. Markets have become so distorted by manipulation, they argue that like godzilla, one day the market will go where it needs to go and it will smash down buildings and economies with it. In the second half, Max talks to John Butler of Amphora about confusing price signals caused by market manipulating central bankers and the misallocation of capital this encourages. They also talk about Japan's economy, Krugman's bond allegations and Mrs. Watanabe's gold shopping spree.
Max Keiser: Gold Battle Between Chinese Housewives & Wall St!
Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert discuss that feeling you get when you've blown your life savings on a carnival game and all you have to show for it is a stuffed banana with dreadlocks and how the entire global financial system is not too dissimilar. They also note that those blowing their life savings on a rigged game, or stock market, always seem to turn to doubling down in a vain attempt to win back all that they lost. In the second half, Max talks to the author of Paper Money Collapse, Detlev Schlichter of DetlevSchlichter.com, about ECB policy, the gold battle between Chinese housewives and Wall Street.
Alasdair Macleod: Central Bank Intervention Always Breaks Down, & Will By End 2013!
In this episode of the Keiser Report, Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert discuss the Great Leap Forward in central banks' central planning which has driven the Housewives of China to buy 300 tons of gold, an act of disloyalty to the central bank revolution. Max notices that Mrs. Wang has displaced Mrs Watanabe as the most important buyer in global financial markets. In the second half, Max talks to Alasdair MacLeod about everything to do with the physical and paper gold markets – from open interest to naked short selling by bullion banks.
MacLeod states that trouble is brewing, and that he expects that Central Bank intervention is likely to break down much sooner than Bernanke believes is possible, and likely by Q4 2013!
Keiser Report: Paper Jihad Results in Traffic Jams Outside Asian Bullion Shops
In this episode of the Keiser Report, Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert discuss paper addiction and the toothless, pimply faced paper pushers hooked on an ever-increasing fix of debt. There is no paper these guys won't push, no debt they won't inject into the veins of the economy and these addicts refuse to sober up despite the overwhelming evidence found in gold demand that they've reached a bottom at which no new hit can get them high. In the second half of the show Max talks to John 'J.S.' Kim of SmartknowledgeU.com about the precious metals market, traffic jams outside bullion shops in Asia and central bankers buying paper.
Andrew Maguire: Cyprus Was Straw That Broke the Camel's Back- A Gold Default is Underway!
Whistle-blower and gold trader Andrew Maguire was on the latest Keiser Report, discussing last week's gold and silver cartel take-down with Max Keiser. Maguire, who CPM Group's Jeffrey Christian once claimed was a figment of Bill Murphy's imagination, states that a gold default is underway & states that The straw that broke the camel's back was the Cyprus issue.
On physical gold vs. paper promised Maguire stated:
If you think you are a holder of bullion, and you happen to turn up and ask for that bullion and you're told, I'm sorry, we don't have that bullion, you will have to take cash instead. Technically, that's a default. If you read through the LBMA's fine print, technically you can be settled for cash, however, that's not what most people think.
You've either got something in your hand that you can klunk, or it's paper. I don't trust the latter.
Maguire's full interview on the gold default underway is below:
Max Keiser: GoldWar PsyOps- Follow the Ounces!
In the latest Keiser Report, Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert follow the ounces not the prices in the precious metals market and discuss the psyops of the gold war where sales of 1100 tons (45% of annual new supply) is sold into the market at once in order to alter behavior. They observe crowds stampeding in the East for more physical gold while in the West, people are put on a restricted debt diet controlled by their governments based on needs not wants. Finally, they discuss the conflicts of interest at the heart of CISPA. In the second half of the show, they talk to Wolf Richter of Testosteronepit.com about gold smashes, wealth grabs and government and Wall Street corruption.
Reggie Middleton: Ireland About to Be Cyprus'd!
Reggie Middleton uncovers extremely unnerving omissions, misrepresentations and what appears to be outright fraud in the Irish banking system along with an in depth interview with Max Keiser in London. He names several banks directly, some which have already failed, been bailed out and collapsed their investor's capital, others who are still operating, taking deposits and making loans.
Directly after Mr. Middleton's Irish bank expose series started, the head of the Bank of Ireland (Ireland's main bank regulator and what used to be their reserve bank until the ECB took over) unexpectedly resigned and actually decided to forgo his 100,000 euro bonus.
Mr. Middleton discusses the distinct possibility of the Irish people getting "Cyprus'd" and offers tools that they can use to mitigate the risk and ascertain how bad off their country really is.
Keiser Report With Jim Rickards: Financial Pearl-Harbor
In this episode of the Keiser Report, Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert ask why China fears currency war. They also look at Johnson & Johnson's big loss on Venezuela's currency devaluation and what this means in a currency war world where major devaluations can happen at any moment. In the second half of the show, Max Keiser talks to Jim Rickards, author of Currency Wars, about which nations are winning the war.
Max Keiser & Antal Fekete on the Elimination of Silver As Money
In this episode of the Keiser Report, Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert discuss how slime molds outsmart our central bankers and policymakers, and look at the four troll banks and their clients living under the bridge. They also discuss George Osborne's slime mold serf experience program. In the second half of the show, Max talks to renowned mathematician and monetary scientist Professor Antal Fekete about the elimination of silver as money, an event that saw value and liquidity wiped out. They also discuss the gold basis – cash versus the nearest futures contract and why that the cash price for gold is never reported is by design.
Keiser Report: Death by Financial Hypoxia
In the latest Keiser Report, Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert compare the real financial suicide machine that is the global financial markets to the hypothetical euthanasia coaster that would kill its passengers after an allegedly fun and euphoric ride induces GLOC – G-force induced Loss Of Consciousness. In the financial markets this is achieved by churning clients so rapidly or front running them at faster than the speed of light. In the second half of the show, Max Keiser talks to professor and economist, Constantin Gurdgiev, about the liquidation of IBRC, the bank formerly known as Anglo Irish and how it is that the bank came to collapse in the first place.
Keiser Report: 4 Horsemen of the Bondpoclypse
In the latest Keiser Report, Max discusses the four horsemen of the bondpoclypse riding into town bringing with them the reversal of multi-decades long trends and as pipe swipers steal toilets and as supermarkets hit the limits of cost-cutting, the population confronts the high cost of backsliding trends. In the second half of the show, Max Keiser talks to former energy regulator, Chris Cook, about how we move from dollar diplomacy to gas diplomacy and a world where energy as the modern water hole where you don't have to kill each other and a natural gas backed currency becomes a new global reserve currency in a post-dollar world.
Keiser Report: Wicked Debt Web
In the latest Keiser Report, Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert discuss the wicked web that has been weaved when banksters first set out to deceive, the first law of thermo-derivatives which states that risk cannot be destroyed and the hot tub of fraud in which the taxpayer owned Royal Bank of Scotland weaves their web of deception. In the second half of the show, Max Keiser talks to Mitch Feierstein, author of Planet Ponzi, who shows us what the Fed's $3 trillion balance sheet would look like in a briefcase and the Central Banking bag of tricks that include: divert and deflect, delay and pray and extend and pretend. Finally they ponder whether we face a global reset or sovereign failures?
