Hot Money, Hot Commodities and the US Dollar Carry Trade Part 2 3 comments
In the last part of the article I discussed the reason why the collapse of the US dollar is all but inevitable, but the US economy itself will be strong enough to survive. Let me say it again, collapse of the US dollar does not equal to collapse of the US economy. If the dollar becomes worthless, Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) or Intel can sell their hardware or software products for gold or coins. They can still manage to make a profit, because the world still want their products.
How do investors protect themselves during a currency collapse?
First, the majority of investors and the majority of average American people will be wiped out financially. That is a FACT of mathematical statistics when a country's currency collapses. Majority of people will be wiped out, but a selective few in the minority will be able to rip huge profit from the crisis. If you want to protect yourself, you can not be with the majority. You must be with the minority group of people. Do NOT let other people do the thinking for you.
So are you listening to the most popular economic analyst or the most popular financial TV host? If you do, you are in danger because you are together with the biggest group of fools! You find safety when you are forced to jump from a big boat to a small boat, not the other way around. Just ask Titanic survivors how they survived. They jumped onto very small boats instead of wait for something bigger than Titanic to come to their resque. Safe havens must necessarily be small and can not accomodate too many people.
Commodities are the only safe haven. As Jim Rogers said, commodities are the only asset class with fundamentals impaired, but improved. But there are lots of myths in the commodity investments. Even Jim Rogers himself had also spreaded some incorrect myths regarding commodities investment. Most people do not know how to invest in commodities because they have not even once laid their fingers on any physical commodity. The only thing they have ever touches is a computer keyboard and mouse. A computer and a brokage account is all you need to invest in commodities, right? Wrong!
The door for commodities investment is extremely narrow. Let me tell you a small story. I am a big fan of tellurium investment and hoard actual physical tellurium. The price low of tellurium a few years ago was about $10 per pound, recent high was about $140 per pound. I predicted tellurium price could go to multiples of gold price once phase change memory goes into wide application. Almost every one laughed at me. Some, a few, did take me up seriously but they ask me NOT where to buy the physical tellurium, but rather, where to buy paper future contracts of tellurium, or what mining stock they can buy. When they hear that these two investment instruments do not exist for palladium, they left with disappointment. Most market traders do not know what to do with physical asset. They would rather prefer the convenience of pushing a computer button to instantly buy and sell something. Till this day, I think there are far fewer tellurium investors than people who understand Einstein's Relativity.
I believe that pure computer trading is the wrong way to invest in commodities. To invest in commodities you HAVE to get your hands dirty and lay your hands on the physical things. Let me explain using the example of the United States Natural Gas (NYSEARCA:UNG) fund.
Recent dismay performance of UNG gave me pause to think about how to invest in commodities. Natural gas spot price recovered from the low of about $1.84 to now nearly $5, almost a triple, but the share price of UNG still struggles around $10. Why is UNG not tracking the price of the natural gas itself? The simple answer is it's killed by contango. But there is a deeper reason.
UNG does not hold the physical natural gas. Instead they hold futures contracts. In theory, when natural gas price goes up, the asset value of these futures contract also go up. But in reality such methodology is flawed. You are holding future contracts that you never intend to take delivery. So near the expiration of the future contracts, you are forced to sell them, at any low price. Mean while you must buy the next month's future contracts, at whatever high price they are offered. As a result, in each round of the roll-over, UNG loses positions and loses money.
More over, the more investors are interested in UNG, the worse a situation UNG finds itself in. (Remember, the bigger crowd is always the loser!!!) During each roll-over, UNG could be purchasing more future contracts than producers have products available to write those contracts, hence it bids up price on the buying end. Then it turn around to sell the future contracts to industry consumers, it has more to sell than the industry consumers can buy, hence it pushes the price down on the selling end. How could you not lose money? It's like two mechants compete with each other. They bid the price up purchasing produces from the same farm, and then cut each other's throat to sell to customers at super low prices. Both lose.
Since UNG purchases future contracts that it never intend to take delivery, conceiveably on the other end of trade could be some one who write future contracts that he never intended to deliver, as he does not have the product to deliver. As no delivery is ever demanded, such paper future contracts can be created out of thing air in unlimited quantity to "meet" investment demand. Basically one side provides empty promises of supply, the other side provides false demand that never materializes. This is nothing but a zero sum game. One party's loss is exactly the other party's gain.
Therefore it is flawed to believe that trading future contracts is investing in cmmodities. It is NOT. Future contracts are derivatives with which the two sides gamble against each other. The commodity may be bullish, but you have a 50/50 chance to beat your counter party to win.
If you are interested in commodity investment, do NOT buy paper derivatives, whose supply is unlimited. Buy the physical thing, which is limited, and take delivery.
Now from a fundamental point of view, every investor needs to ask: If I invest in something and I gain, WHO pays for my profit? You are not the FED so you can't create money out of thin air. If you make a profit, then some one or something must be paying you that profit. If you buy a stock and make money, it's because the business of the company generates revenue and income, or because another investor pays you more than your original cost. I invested in physical tellurium because I know some years down the line, First Solar (NASDAQ:FSLR) or Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) will pay me gold price to buy my tellurium hoard.
But who pays for your profit when you invest in a commodity? Do your fellow investors pay you? If so it sounds like a Ponzi scheme. It has to be industry users of the commodity that pays you the profit. The only way for you to get paid by industry users, is for you to participate in the supply and demand of the commodity, for you to become a physical demand and then a physical supply. That means the only sensible way of investing in commodities, is for you to take physical delivery, hold for long term, until the price is higher, then you sell to the industry users.
Once again, The door for commodities investment is extremely narrow. Most of supply and demand have been directly negotiated between industry suppliers and industry users, leaving you no opportunity to participate in the market. Natural gas is a good example. The opportunity to store natural gas is virtually non-existant for outsider investors. Any gain or loss is likely directly settles between industry suppliers and users, and that leaves investors out of the natural gas business and unable to rip profit from the price appreciation.
So if you think investing in commodities is as easy as pushing a computer button, and you do not have to deal with the huzzle of buying/selling, transporting and storing the actual physical stuff. Please pause and think again. WHO PAYS YOUR PROFIT if you are not taking all the huzzles?
For this reason I am inheritly suspicious about all sorts of commodity ETFs, like GLD and SLV. Particularly SLV. Read my previous Instablog regarding some red flags in the SLV fund. What troubles me is that these nice folks help you to take care of all the sweating and laboring to handle the physical stuff, and allow you comfortably making profit sitting in front of a computer. It just sounds too good to be true.

You make an interesting proposition, but I think there are a few flaws with your reasoning. First, individual speculators CAN make profits on commodity futures. For example, when oil prices were very low they could have gone long a long-term futures contract and sold it when the price of oil advanced dramatically. When the price of oil was very high ($130) they could have shorted the long-term futures contract and then closed their position after oil had dropped to $50/ barrel. Yes, they would be taking their profit from other speculators, but so what? They are still making a profit. They do NOT need to continually roll their positions or always be invested in a single commodity; jusy buy low and close the contract when it is high.

Joe Lhota agrees with Republicans in Congress that there should be a delay for the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate.
"I think there's so much confusion about the individual mandate right now, both within the administration and outside of the administration," the Republican New York City mayoral candidate told WNYC's Brian Lehrer Monday, after calling for a one-year delay on the mandate. "You should not be implementing policy unless you know exactly how it is going to be implemented."

Manny Pacquiao vs. David Diaz on June 28
By Mark Vester
Promoter Bob Arum of Top Rank has said that WBC super featherweight champion Manny Pacquiao will indeed move up in weight to the lightweight limit of 135-pounds. He will challenge WBC lightweight champ David Diaz, also promoted by Top Rank, on June 28 at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.
On Saturday night in Las Vegas, Pacquiao won a close split-decision over Juan Manuel Marquez to capture the super featherweight title. He suffered a bad cut on his right eyelid. If the cut does not heal in time for the June date, the fight will probably move to a date in July. The fight is expected to land on HBO pay-per-view.

Steve Jobs unveiled his breathtaking iPhone vision on Tuesday, calling it a "magical" device that would "change the world" when it ships in June.
Jobs' use of the word "magical" hit the nail on the head. His keynotes are more than just speeches. They're magic shows.
A skilled magician makes you believe in magic. He makes you believe the magician has supernatural powers to, say, make people (or competitors) disappear. But there's no such thing as magic, all magicians do is make you believe by keeping you in the dark about all the facts that might shatter the illusion.
Now, all this sounds negative so far, but I am in fact truly in awe of what I witnessed on Tuesday. Steve Jobs is the Salesman of the century - nothing wrong with that. And Apple and Jobs have done everything right with the iPhone - so far. I certainly want one, and am rooting for Apple to dominate and transform the handset industry.
However, I fear that the iPhone vision and the keynote were so flawlessly executed that Apple may have raised expectations that will be hard to fulfill. The things that might shatter this wonderful iPhone illusion are the things we do not know.
Here are 20 unanswered questions about the Apple iPhone:
1. How much will it cost to own an iPhone? We already know that the cheapest iPhone will be far more expensive than the most costly Cingular phone to date. But what will the monthly service cost? What will the data plans cost? Will the Yahoo push email option be extra?
2. What will be the "unlocked" iPhone price? US prices quoted by Jobs - $599 for the 8GB model and $499 for the 4GB phone - are the discounted prices that require a two-year Cingular contract. Will it even be possible to buy an iPhone without a wireless contract and without a specific wireless carrier? And there's no word at all on the UK price yet, with various operators said to be in the running for the contract, but nobody openly discussing how much we'll be asked to pay in rip-off Britain.
3. How much will it cost to replace a lost or damaged iPhone? Let's say you shell out £600 for an iPhone, then two weeks later you drop and destroy it. How much will it cost to replace? £600? £1,200? More? When you buy a phone with a contract, you nearly always get a huge discount because you're signing up for the service. But you have to pay through the nose for a replacement, because you don't get a discount.
4. How fast is the iPhone? Touch-screen devices are often ruined by a delay when you press the on-screen virtual buttons. Apple may solve this problem with its first-release iPhone, but if it doesn't, a persistent lag will degrade the user experience. Jobs said the "iPhone runs OS X" and "desktop-class" applications. But will the OS and applications perform with desktop-class performance? If so, Apple will have solved another problem nobody has ever been able to handle.
5. What did Jobs mean when he said the "iPhone runs OS X?" Is it the "core" of OS X with a new mobile interface? Or is the "core" new, with OS X-like UI (user interface) code on top? Jobs already hinted that special iPhone applications - not standard desktop applications - will run on the phone. What is the iPhone's operating system, really?
6. How well will the iPhone sync with Windows applications? Jobs said the iPhone will sync with your desktop-based data - contacts, calendars, photos, notes, bookmarks and email accounts - without giving specifics beyond the fact that iTunes will serve as the synchronisation application. Will it sync seamlessly with Microsoft Outlook? Lotus Notes? Other PIM (personal information manager) and email applications? Which ones? How well will all this work?
7. Will businesses be able to use the iPhone? Jobs dissed Treos, BlackBerrys and other devices for their lack of usability. But these companies spend enormous resources on building back-end infrastructure. These systems enable businesses to roll out programs that meet company objectives around regulatory compliance, data security, cost reduction and more. The success of these products is based in part on their enterprise and business solutions. How ready is the iPhone for business?
8. Will the iPhone support Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents? Jobs says you can synchronise the iPhone with email - and even pointed to Imap (internet message access protocol) support, including Microsoft Exchange - but what about attachments? Without support for standard office documents, the iPhone is a non-starter for most business users.
9. Will you be able to use your iPhone as a modem for your laptop? If not, this could be a showstopper for many travelling business people.
10. Will the iPhone scratch or peel? Previous Apple products, including some iPods and notebooks, had serious problems with scratching and peeling. People use and abuse their mobile phones even more than they do other devices. Will Apple make the iPhone rugged enough to avoid embarrassing blog write-ups about scratching, peeling or other material defects? Will the iPhone be too slippery to use without dropping?
11. Will the iPhone be called the iPhone? Jobs says "yes", but that was news to Cisco, the company that owns the trademark and that's suing Apple over the name. It's possible that the two companies will arrive at an agreement, but to date, the name is still up in the air.
12. Will people hate the onscreen iPhone keyboard experience? I got rid of my Palm Treo mainly because the keys were hard to type with - too small for my fingers. The iPhone keys are about the same size as the Treo's, but software, with no tactile feedback. The keyboard looked great in the demo. But what will it be like to use it every day?
13. Can you use the iPhone to make VoIP calls? Using your iPhone over a Wi-Fi connection to make, say, Skype calls, would be an obviously beneficial feature. Will Apple allow it?
14. Will people accept iPhone's slow internet connection? While other phones are embracing 3G, the iPhone's EDGE support gives users a disappointing 2.5G experience. Jobs showed The New York Times web page - how long will that page take to load? For people already using 3G on their phones, going back to a slower device may be too much to ask.
15. Will third-party software vendors be able to create applications for the iPhone? If not, why not? If so, what are they?
16. Will iPhone's single-carrier model in the US wreck the product for most users? Some US cities don't have any Cingular coverage. In other cities, such as New York, Cingular coverage is inferior to competitors' coverage. By limiting the iPhone to Cingular only, will Apple turn away the majority of its potential iPhone customers? And will Apple adopt a similar strategy in the UK market?
17. Will there be any way to wirelessly share files with the iPhone? Like the Microsoft Zune, the iPhone supports Wi-Fi. But unlike Zune, iPhone Wi-Fi is for connecting to the internet through wireless hotspots or networks only. You won't be able to connect peer-to-peer. Will Apple be able to turn on this capability later? Will the company at least enable file sharing over the internet?
18. Will the iPhone kill sales of iPods? Apple has a good thing going with its profitable iPod business. But will people stop buying iPods as they wait for an iPhone? Will investors conclude that Jobs' keynote was a big mistake if iPod profits go down the drain for two quarters?
19. Will Apple be able to accurately fill iPhone orders? No doubt the iPhone is very expensive to manufacture, and, unlike the iPod, is a very complex device, electronically. In the first year of its release, Apple could very easily overbuild - build far more than it can sell in a given period of time - or under build - be unable to keep up with demand, and create long waits and frustrated customers.
20. Will the iPhone really "change the world"? The iPod "changed the world" because everyone bought one. But will the iPhone's price, lack of business usability and other factors really make the iPhone just a niche luxury toy for the rich?
The iPhone vision Jobs unveiled was bold, risky and amazing. Now we can only wait and see what Silicon Valley's master magician really has up his sleeve. If Jobs and Apple can produce the right answers to these 20 questions, they'll make a believer out of me.

We are in the midst of an age revolution, with average longevity increasing continuously. Yet the structures and rules in most organisations are locked into the previous demographic era, and that includes attitudes towards ageing.
This means that it is not just barriers to employment and participation that older people face, but a host of negative opinions as well, in the media just as much as among the general public. Age is still invariably associated with decline. Look at the adjectives used to describe ageing — retired, redundant, dependent. That kind of term implies that older people are on the sidelines, somehow useless.
Much of this sort of discrimination stems from the labour market and the assumption that people have to stop work at 60 or 65. This is no longer the case, so this assumption is increasingly out of step with the new reality. But, in reality, it is these old assumptions that are fundamental to restricting the opportunities that older people have and creating barriers to participation.
That is why it is so important that we make the case for a more open and progressive attitude towards older people and the contribution they make. This prize is an important part of that case and should be widely welcomed.
Society and policymakers, in particular, need to wake up to the new ageing because today's older people are making clear that they are not going to wait around for others to make the case for them. They are in the vanguard of promoting their own new images. For many that means simply working longer and being prepared to challenge their employers if they are unwilling to let them. For others it means running the marathon or swimming the Channel or other activities that break the traditional mould.
And if you want a vision of the future, look to the US. They have had their anti-age discrimination legislation in place since the 1970s and, as a result, a longer history of older people participating at all levels in society. It is time that British society caught up with the remarkable changes taking place among the older population and responded positively by creating the possibility for active and healthy ageing to be the norm.

Pregnancy at Conception? Nope, Says Arizona
Posted on Apr 14, 2012
Gov. Jan Brewer and the Arizona Legislature performed a biological miracle Thursday when they decided that pregnancy begins at menstruation—not the moment of conception—in a pack of adjustments to abortion regulations that will ban most of the procedures 20 weeks after the start of a woman's last period.
Abortions after that time will be legal only when they are deemed necessary to prevent the mother's death or "substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily function." Ultrasounds will also be required 24 hours before the procedures. —ARK

Women's rights organisations should start sueing very state that has a 'pregnancy at conception' law for failing to prosecute murder cases.
After all, every woman who has unprotected sex (the only type she is allowed to have according to the sexist hicks who write this sort of laws) and failed to get pregnant must have done something to cause the embryo to 'die'.
And of course the men should be accused as being an accomplish to murder. Without their help the murder of the 1 day old embryo could not have taken place.
(I am still trying to figure out if the state legislator was serious or attempting to show the idiocy of life at conception laws, when she tried to get the republicans in her state to accept that life starts at the sperm and that men should not allow to leave it anywhere but in a woman's vagina ... Needless to say that the prospect of having to do without their favourite passtime lead to the male legislators to instantly squash that idea that a woman could actually have anything sensible to say about reproduction and men's rights regarding sexuality)

Conception begins with the glint in the husband's eye, assuming he and his wife were legally married in a church in the eyes of God, surrounded by one's peers. Amen.
Wait ... better yet, it begins at one's own birth, especially if the child decides to marry at some later date in a church and does not turn out to be homosexual.
Wait ...

2000 Acura 1.6 EL 1.6 from North America
It has Honda reliability. Although OEM parts can be expensive to replace
Replaced the front brake rotors since they were warped when I bought the car. Not a big deal since I did the work myself.
Had to replace the front left wheel bearing in 2008.
In 2013 the A/C compressor had to be replaced, which was costly.
Rear engine seal has started to leak in 2014. Since it's a small leak, will just be checking the oil level more often. Probably not worth getting fixed right now.
Those are the unscheduled maintenance and repair items.
General Comments:
Other than that, it's a pretty cheap and reliable vehicle for commuting, compared to some of the other vehicles in this class and year. However, the seats are not very comfortable for longer trips.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Acquired: Traded to Detroit by Hartford for Doug Houda on February 20, 1991.
Drafted: CHI / 1979 NHL Entry Draft
Round: 6th (112th overall)
Crossman played three years of junior hockey with the OHL's Ottawa 67's. In 1979-80, he was part of a strong offensive unit that included the likes of scoring champ Jim Fox and Yvan Joly. He was the beneficiary of many assists on those goals, picking up 96 to go along with his 20 goals for an impressive 116 points in 66 games. The 96 assists were an OHL record for a defenseman until Bryan Fogarty of the Niagara Falls Thunder eclipsed the mark in 1988-89, when he had 108.
In 1980-81, Crossman joined the Chicago Blackhawks for nine games, with the balance of his season being played with their minor-league affiliate in New Brunswick. He remained with the Blackhawks for another two seasons, becoming a regular with the club and appearing in 70 and 80 games, respectively.
On June 8, 1983, Crossman and Chicago's second-round draft pick in 1984, which turned out to be Scott Mellanby, were sent to the Philadelphia Flyers for rugged defenseman Behn Wilson. It was during his time in Philadelphia that most fans will remember Crossman, who was part of two Stanley Cup finalists in 1985 and 1987. He says those were the two most enjoyable years as a pro, but also provided the biggest disappointment, losing in the finals both times to the Edmonton Oilers. Crossman particularly stood out in the 1987 playoffs, where he had 18 points in 26 playoff games.
Crossman played one more season for the Flyers before being sent to the Los Angeles Kings for Jay Wells in September 1988. He played in California for just one season before going to the New York Islanders, where he appeared for a little over a year before being sent to the Hartford Whalers in a deal that saw Ray Ferraro head to New York. However, before the 1990-91 season was done, Crossman was on the move again, this time to the Detroit Red Wings. Crossman also made a brief stop with the Tampa Bay Lightning, where he set a team record by scoring six points on three goals and three assists in a game against the New York Islanders. He moved on to his final NHL destination, St. Louis, where he appeared in 50 games in 1993-94. Crossman played a couple more seasons of minor pro hockey before retiring in the 1995-96 season as a member of the Baltimore Bandits of the AHL.
Following a 16-year professional playing career, Crossman went on to coach the UHL's Port Huron Border Cats for one season in 1997-98.

Chargers scouting report
Philadelphia Eagles — KICKOFF: 10 a.m. Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field
SERIES: Chargers lead 5-3. The Eagles won the last meeting 24-14 in 2001 in Philadelphia.
PLAYER TO WATCH: QB Donovan McNabb
McNabb will continue to grit his teeth and play with a sports hernia that's compromising his mobility. He can still sidestep trouble in the pocket, but he seldom takes off downfield. What isn't hurt is his arm. His 1,464 passing yards are the sixth-most in the NFL, and he has completed 123 of 200 passes for 11 touchdowns and three interceptions. But McNabb's injury seems to bother him most early in games, before he can loosen up. That's among the reasons the Chiefs and Cowboys jumped to 17-0 leads in their games against the Eagles. McNabb was fabulous last year in leading the Eagles to the Super Bowl, throwing 31 touchdowns against only eight interceptions.
The Chargers caught a break Sunday when Pro Bowl WR Randy Moss left the Raiders game early with an injury. They probably won't get as lucky regarding WR Terrell Owens. The volatile Owens was in the middle of an offseason Philly soap opera, at odds with the organization and McNabb. But the distractions haven't hampered Owens' production. He's No. 6 in the NFL with 556 receiving yards; among his 37 receptions are four for touchdowns, with a long of 68 yards. The running game is led by Brian Westbrook —— he has 231 yards and a touchdown on 55 carries. But Westbrook is just as dangerous coming out of the backfield, with three receiving touchdowns. He's second to Owens with 292 receiving yards on 25 catches.
The Eagles are searching for a consistent pass rush in DT Darwin Walker's absence. He has a team-high 2 1/2 sacks, but has missed the last games with a deep quad contusion. He practiced Monday, but his availability for the game will be determined later in the week. Minus Walker's push up the middle, the guys on the edges —— Jevon Kearse and N. D. Kalu, with a sack each —— aren't getting it done. The safety tandem is pretty good: standout Brian Dawkins has 24 tackles and Michael Lewis has registered a team-high 31. MLB Jeremiah Trotter (30) and OLB Dhani Jones (29) are the ones to watch in the defense's middle. CB Sheldon Brown paces the squad with two interceptions. Overall, the Eagles are ranked No. 19, and a dismal No. 23 against the run (118 yards per game).
The Eagles are the third team in a row the Chargers have faced coming off its bye week. The Chargers lost to Pittsburgh before defeating the Raiders. The Eagles were drilled by Dallas, 33-10, in their game before the bye. The Eagles usually rebound well after defeats, as they are 17-3 following losses since 2000. … Former Chargers LB Zeke Moreno was signed early in the year to help shore up the Eagles' shaky coverage teams. … Westbrook will have his number retired at Villanova, his alma mater, on Saturday. … K David Akers remains out with a torn hamstring. Todd France (4-of-5 on field goals) is his replacement. … Chargers S Clinton Hart is a former Eagle. … This will be the Chargers' first visit to Lincoln Financial Field. … New Chargers QB A.J. Feeley got his NFL start with the Eagles in 2001.

Don'tcha wanna be married? Or have kids?"
I nodded, tears streaming down my five-year-old face, thorns and brambles cutting into my backside.
"You gotta do this, then, or you can't ever be married." The voice—which came from a teenage boy, accompanied by the snicker from his kid brother—would haunt me for 18 years until I got married.
It still haunts me.
The statistics about sexual crime both alarm and numb. According to the Department of Justice, by age 18, one in four women and one in six men have been sexually abused.
What happens to the titanic number of sexually abused men and women when they marry and enter regular sexual experiences with their mates? One study published in Contemporary Family Therapy estimates that 56 percent of women who were sexually abused as children feel discomfort during sex and 36 percent seek some sort of sexual therapy.
Although I told my husband, Patrick, about the abuse while we were dating, after we were married, I pretended immunity from my past trauma. But keeping up the charade wasn't so easy since sex reminded me of the abuse. I didn't tell Patrick, though, because I felt guilty, as though I were a poor wife.
I hoped somehow I could work out everything through sheer willpower. So throughout our early married life, I tolerated sex, never letting Patrick know how much I was hurting. I'm not sure if I even knew the extent of my pain, at least enough to verbalize it.
When our eldest daughter turned five, however, I began to relive the molestation I'd experienced at her age. I felt the horror afresh. I saw those brothers steal my innocence on muddied nature trails, in secluded playgrounds, and in their bedroom.
I puzzled over the photos my divorced father took of nude women and his insistence that I bathe him while he sat naked in his claw-footed tub. I ached over my mother's lack of protection. I felt abandoned.
Although I grieved, I still didn't realize how much those experiences were poisoning my sexual relationship with Patrick. It wasn't until we went through some marital difficulties and I spent two years in counseling that I finally realized the problem.
Now 12 years into our marriage, Patrick and I see clearly how the past affected our relationship—especially sexually.
Fear of being used. I felt used easily. If Patrick didn't talk enough with me during the day but then initiated sex, I'd remember that frightened five-year-old who was simply a rag doll to be played with. If he touched me in a way that triggered the abuser's touch, I'd grit my teeth and silently recoil.

Hi Matthias,
we feel it desirable to have the various payment methods split up into separate WooCommerce Payment Gateways.
At the moment the payment options on checkout look like this:
- PayPal
- Some Other Gateway
- PayMill Payment
- Credit Card
- Direct Debit
We think it should look like this instead:
- PayPal
- Some Other Gateway
- [Paymill] Credit Card
- [Paymill] Direct Debit
This seems to be the canonical way from WooCommerce's point of view. And it's most certainly easier to handle for customers. They don't know about payment providers and some might just not understand a nested payment selector. It can be assumed that a 'flat' selector would help shop owners to achieve higher conversion rates. At least for us it seems a very important detail and we would really appreciate your consideration. Thanks in advance!

What's new in insulin resistance?
Over the past decade, insulin resistance has gained significance, in its own right, as a contributor to the metabolic syndrome. Timely intervention can delay the onset of overt type 2 diabetes. Future studies must assess longer intervals than research to date in order to determine the duration for treatment to prevent the development of type 2 diabetes and related complications.
Lifestyle changes (in nutrition and physical activity) are clearly important to delay the development of type 2 diabetes in individuals with insulin resistance and are the primary recommendation for prevention of diabetes in high-risk individuals. Metformin is the only drug recommended by guidelines, for those patients at highest risk. Education about these changes must be directed to all groups at risk for type 2 diabetes. Childhood obesity is epidemic and on the rise in the developed countries. Changes must be made in homes and school cafeterias to ensure healthier nutrition.

"RE: Comparing images : D7000 & D90"
Brian was making the reference to a value that is obviously too high for any good to result if your advice is followed. Strong artifacts and halos will ruin the image with that much sharpening.There is a general consensus that a little sharpening is useful in creating an impression of finer detail and edge sharpness on the D7000, +1 or maybe +2, when viewing the rear display or JPGs on a computer screen.Few people have complained of lacking sharpness at those values.So Brian's remark was right on point, it is not helpful to tell those who are new to the camera to use values that will result in poorer images than if they did no adjustments.Since each new model has come out, there are initial problems encountered with applying techniques and habits that were learned to improve images on prior models. A few new rules of thumb or habits will have to be learned. Brian has been through the initial learning curve with new owners for many models so he speaks from experience from helping thousands of people adapt to their new cameras.Adaptability is probably the most useful personal trait in photography. It allows habits that do not apply any longer to be dropped and new beneficial habits to be absorbed. Some habits are model related and others are basic photographic principle based. Some early DSLRs lulled people into sloppy use, that they had to master in film. For example, film required higher shutter speeds generally than what we could get by with with D80s or D90s which are very forgiving cameras. The Matrix metering got many people thinking that active evaluation of the tone range of a scene was not needed anymore. The D7000 quickly reminded those who remembered film habits to increase shutter speed over what they were in the habit of using with lower res early digital cameras.StanSt Petersburg Russia
