We are gold and silver bugs and as such we are aware of the myriad of factors that affect the price movements in the precious metals sector. Today we will take a quick look at just one of them; The US Dollar.
2013 was a disastrous year for gold as it ended the year at around the $1200/oz. Gold started 2014 in good form rising to $1380/oz in March before falling back to $1240/oz and then it rallied again to $1340/oz. Since then it has declined to trade today at $1295/oz. So we can see that gold is up approximately 8% so far this year which is good progress; however, it is still 32% down its high of $1900/oz which it achieved in 2011. Silver prices and the gold producers, as represented by the Gold Bugs Index, the HUI, also performed in a similar way to gold.
So we are now faced with the question of can gold maintain this level of progress in the second half of 2014 and finish at say $1400/oz plus or will this rally fade and bring about a re-test of the low of $1180 as some analysts are predicting? There are many ingredients that go into this mix but one of the most important elements is the performance of the US dollar, so we will take a quick look at just how it has been performing recently.
The US Dollar's progress
Over the last two years, the USD has tested the '79' level on the US Dollar Index six times and the support has held, so what we thought was a Dead Cat Dollar is alive and still kicking. Taking a quick look at the chart below, we can see that over the last three months the dollar has tested '79' and then rallied to close today at 81.51, registering a gain of 3%.
There are a number of reasons for this rally; the first that springs to mind is the recent demise of the euro. The European Union is in all kinds of trouble on the employment front and so their political elite turn to the ECB for some help regarding the value of the euro. They believe that a lower euro would help to boost exports and thus more jobs will be created. The reality is that Germany would do well as the demand for a cheaper priced Mercedes would increase, but the rest of Europe would still be looking on in envy. However, the ECB did oblige by reducing their interest rate taking it into negative territory for the first time ever. This move makes it rather pointless to hold the euro as an investor would earn nothing and they are also saddled with the risk of a possible 'bail-in' which would see some of their funds being confiscated in order to support a delinquent bank. This flight from the euro weakens it and some of these funds will be parked in a dollar account thus driving up demand for the dollar.
The second possibility is that the dollar is reacting to the political turmoil that has intensified recently. The unrest is usually expected to boost the price of gold, however, funds can moved at the click of a button these days so maybe the dollar is that safety vehicle, at least for now.
Finally, there is the US monetary policy to consider; as of yesterday, the tapering program was in full swing with an expectation that it will wind up in the fall. No more QE is good for the dollar in that it stops the dilution process that was inherent in QE. It remains to be seen who is going to be buying treasury bonds when QE ends, but for now the dollar is spared.
US Monetary policy in the form of tapering is proving to be supportive of the USD, however, we would also draw your attention to the RSI which is now in the overbought zone, standing at 78, so we may see the dollar take a breather shortly.
Gold, Silver and the Mining Stocks
The turmoil in the world has gotten a lot worse of late in a number of locations as I am sure you are all aware. This kind of civil unrest and hostility brings fear into the markets and the precious metals sector usually finds itself in great demand. As a tiny sector of the marketplace it doesn't take much of an increase in demand to drive prices a lot higher. Given the current state of the world one would have expected the price of gold to have moved a lot higher by now, but that simply isn't the case. Gold looks to be fading, silver has rolled over and the HUI looks to have ran out of steam.
The specter of tapering and the talk of interest rate increases cast a dark shadow over the precious metals area making it difficult to see just where the impetus for higher prices will come from. That said it will soon be Labor Day which heralds the start of the fall season which is normally good for gold.
The month of August will be an interesting one as it will give us an indication of which way this market is going. Should it fall significantly then we could be in for a re-test of the June 2013 lows of $1180/oz. We have always been a tad skeptical about this being the real bottom as it didn't look like a final capitulation to us, although many of our peers are convinced that it is the bottom and signals the end of this bear phase.
I am a gold and silver bull, but not a perma-bull, as taking such a position is too rigid of an approach to adopt as far as investing is concerned, regardless of the market sector.
If you are convinced that the time is right for the precious metals to head higher, then by all means acquire some physical gold and silver. The operative word is 'physical' that is having the metal in your own hands and not a piece of paper giving you ownership of it in a vault in some distant land. Our acquisitions were made early on in this bull market and for now at least we will not acquiring any more metal, neither will we be parting with it.
Our focus is now totally concentrated on the mining stocks and a few well thought out options trades, enabling us to trade both long and short, as and when the risk/reward scenario is skewed in our favor.
In terms of timing; the summer doldrums looked to have been by-passed, but the last few weeks has seen this sector start to rollover. It is currently heading south with room to fall further. The month of August could be the month that we hit a real bottom which would present us with some golden opportunities to acquire good quality mining stocks at bargain prices.
Some of the stocks we have in mind are already trading at one quarter of the prices they achieved in 2011 or even lower, so they are indeed very tempting at the moment. However, we must repeat that 'cheap' is not necessarily good value and a little more patience is still the order of the day.
We believe this is not the time to be fully invested in the precious metals sector and at the moment we are not prepared to adopt a cavalier approach to investment as we have been through a number of false dawns over the last few years, so we looking for more in the way of a sell-off before we can fully commit our funds.

Skip to comments.Mbeki To Broker Mugabe Safe-Exit Plan
Posted on 03/26/2006 6:04:03 AM PST by vikingd00d
President Mugabe, under heavy local and international pressure to step down, has called for a constitutional amendment that will allow an interim President to be appointed by his Zanu PF party and pave the way for fresh elections for a new government. Official sources said this was the message that had been communicated to President Thabo Mbeki of South Africa, who is seen as a key player in delicate manoeuvres towards a transition from a dictatorship to democratic rule in Zimbabwe.
It is understood that Mugabe wants his hand picked successor Joice Mujuru, to be the interim President, although this could not be confirmed. Mbeki, who recently met UN secretary general Kofi Annan over the issue, is scheduled to lead a three-member, high-powered team to Harare within the next two months to iron out Mugabe's proposed exit plan, according to the sources. Zimdaily heard that Annan told Mbeki to keep the momentum going following Mugabe's positive signals in a birthday interview on ZTV last month.
In the interview, Mugabe hinted that he was considering stepping down as land redistribution that he had so much wanted to see implemented had been addressed. Mbeki is expected to work out a safe exit plan for Mugabe that will make him immune from prosecution for human rights abuses committed during his 26-year rule. Mugabe is particularly worried about the Matabeleland and Midlands massacres of the mid-1980s after he unleashed the Korean-trained 5 Brigade, led by the now Air Force of Zimbabwe boss, Perence Shiri, on the people of those provinces in suppressing an armed dissident uprising.
Thousands of innocent civilians died in what is now referred to as the Gukurahundi atrocities. Mugabe has not apologised officially to the people of Matabeleland and Midlands for the atrocities, although he expressed regret for "the madness" at Vice-President Joshua Nkomo's burial in 1999. Official sources told Zimdaily that Mugabe is concerned about "the future of his family and property, his party's simmering succession problems, a possible power vacuum after his departure and subsequent infighting within Zanu PF".
The MDC leader, Morgan Tsvangirai, a key player in any power transition, is on record as saying that Mugabe's security after he steps down will only be guaranteed in the context of a negotiated settlement of the current Zimbabwe crisis. Mugabe has stated that he is prepared to talk to the opposition leader if he drops his election results court challenge and recognises him as the legitimate President of Zimbabwe. Tsvangirai has flatly refused to agree to those conditions. Mugabe won the presidential election in 2002 in controversial circumstances. The poll was condemned internationally as being fraught with irregularities and glaring rigging.
Very interesting Ping
Mugabe can enter the U.S. via the Mexican U.S. border with the other illegals and get his drivers license.
I understand your point, but will you be equally pissed when the new guy does the same thing?..with the blessing of Cafe Annan?
Of course.. repeat the cycle as necessary until the bastages realize that actions have consequences.
Mugabe is an African leader. He therefore gets a pass on HIS genocide and robbery. We treat them with kid gloves....not like we treat Arabs and Europeans. THEY have to take the conequences for THEIR actions (Milosevic, Hussein, etc.) but NOT African leaders.
If it weren't already too late and the damage absolutely unimaginable, a fitting end would be to restore Cecil Rhodes name to the country and install a democratically elected government. But it is, in fact, too late. I cannot imagine how this can ever be made right in the next two centuries. The people who were able to make the country work by employing and feeding the people have had their property stolen and their means of income along with it. It's absolutely disgusting.
Hmmm, wondering if there have been a few accidents around El Presidente.
Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose
Things must be going from very bad, to worse shortly.
Safe exit to the graveyard
"Mugabe can enter the U.S. via the Mexican U.S. border with the other illegals and get his drivers license."
Then he can drive a cab in NYC. At least that would be an honest living.
or not.
Mugabe, Hero of the Worldwide Left, stepping down?
They will be very upset to learn this.
Fanatic Liberals are working night and day to get the US to put Africa at the top of the to-do list. Top priority for the US to fix all of Africa and pay for it, too. Boots on the ground, if necessary. C-Span ran a video of a recent African interest/seminar...can't remember the name of the group. About twelve people in the audience. The panel was drooling at the thought of all the money/top paying jobs that would open up...for them. (African experts.)
We can do nothing for Africa.
The only way for Africa to do something for herself is to implement a system of free markets (Capitalism) and rule of law.
Until that happens, every penny spent there is down a rat-hole.
How nice, Mugabe wants to be the puppeteer.
"THEY have to take the conequences for THEIR actions (Milosevic, Hussein, etc.) but NOT African leaders."
- Common, don't you know that blacks are mentally inferior to whites and therefore cannot be held accountable for their actions? </sarc>
No accountability of leadership and massive foreign aid in the forms of food & medicine in Africa is the biggest soft bigotry experiment on earth. Second biggest is the welfare program and the war on poverty here in America...and you all know how successful that was/is. </sarc>
I would rather see Mugabe leave and have a chance for reform and healing rather than more bloodshed. His goons need to be taken from power as well.
If one were to look at what is wrong with Iraq today, it is people looking to settle scores - Sunnis killing Shiites, Arab foreigners killing other Iraqis. The killing in Iraq is truly a stupid mentality.
If he doesn't leave, people will starve to death.
This evil person used food as a weapon to starve people to death.
I understand where you are coming from, but there is a story I heard that came through the Vatican (it is unclear if this actually happened).
Supposedly, someone appeared to a mystic (the person appearing was someone from heaven.
The person appearing from heaven said that Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and Benito Mussolini were given the chance for heaven. According to the person from heaven, Mussolini accepted the offer and both Hitler and Stalin rejected it.
These three people were also shown what they would have to suffer first before being allowed into heaven.
The point of the story is God's infinite mercy (which I can learn from). But the other interesting point was that on the death of Mussolini, his body was descrated in very horrible ways by the people who murdered him - perhaps part of his punishment.
And though many may not believe there is not a heaven, it would put great fear in anybody who has seen hell. In 1917, there is a story that three children were first given the promise of heaven and then shown hell.
Even though they knew that they would not go to hell, it was such a terrible sight that they did not want to happen to anybody.
I know that my friend in Zimbabwe would want the same - to try to save as many souls as possible.
The torment after death may be greater than you can imagine... At least that is my personal belief.
For that reason, I never seek justice on this earth, but hope in God and trust in God...
But that is my own personal opinion...
I hope you are not offende by my comments. But having heard and read stories of what is going on in Zimbabwe, I just want it to end without any scores being settled...
The problem I have with your point of view is that is denies all 'earthly' justice. Would you let child molesters roam free and unpunished just because you figure God will deal with them eventually? There needs to be a reckoning, not just for the sake of Zimbabwe, but for the sake of all the other countries where murderous dictators are thinking of doing the same thing. Making them think twice about their actions will save a lot of lives.
If there is a God, I'm sure he's a patient sort. He can have Mugabe after we here on earth are done with him.
One of the divine purposes of Man is to send back to God post haste the worst of our planet.
Allowing the worst to delay their divine Justice is a sin.
Outrage as Mbeki hints at S African land grab - Mr Mbeki said he could learn from Mr Mugabe's methods and philosophy. "Our countries have shared common problems," Mr Mbeki said. "As they shared the common problems of oppression, they share common problems today. "President Mugabe can assist us to confront the problems we have in South Africa so that we can assist you to solve the problems that face Zimbabwe."
Mbeki warns white farmers to commit to land reform - Thabo Mbeki said yesterday the seizure of land would not be necessary if white commercial farmers remained committed to land reform and redistribution.
Africa Should Feel Uneasy Over Iraqi War: Mbeki - "The prospect facing the people of Iraq should serve as sufficient warning that in future we too might have others descend on us, guns in hand to force-feed us ...If the UN does not matter... why should we, the little countries of Africa that make up the African Union (AU), think that we matter and will not be punished if we get out of line?"
If you can kill him in office, fine. But if someone can get him out of power to stop people from starving to death, then I am for that.
Get him to step down from power, go to another country, and then start activism for war crimes against him...
Once he is out of power, then other things can happen...
And maybe my post was too much of a holier than thou type post... Sorry...
But obviously, it would be wrong to allow child molesters to run free and prey on children. By the same token, I don't want people to continue to starve in Zimbabwe because there is trouble getting Mugabe out of power - whether it be by a brokered deal or physical force.
Once Mugabe is out of power, it will be easier to bring him to justice by bringing War Crimes against him.
Saddam Hussein is facing that now, in a painfully slow process (too slow for those who want him to be brought to justice for his crimes as well as a slow process for him as well...)
The Allies in World War II were guilty of the Broad Front Strategy. One of the reasons for this was that Adolf Hitler after the failure of the Market Garden operation threatened to kill hundreds of thousands of people in other countries that the Nazis still occuppied. The ending chapter of the book A Bridge Too Far is devoted to discussing this.
The Allies should have brought Hitler down as soon as they could - but Hitler used blackmail that he would kill civilians under his control to hold the Allies back (English and American forces).
I honestly would like to see US Delta forces in tandem with British SAS and other special forces go in and exterminate Mugabe. But if that is not going to happen, what of the people that are starving to death.
My point is more about protecting the innocent people than focusing FIRST on bringing Mugabe to justice.
Unfortunately, the US and Britian has shown very little interest in taking out Mugabe...
The two men met at the Elysee palace in Paris, in talks which attracted widespread international criticism following Mr Mugabe's controversial land reform programme.

Beyond employee education, preventive spec'ing of both power units and trailers is critical. "There are a lot of things you can do to make it tougher on the criminals," such as modifying trailers in a variety of ways to make them tougher nuts to crack, says Carl Tapp, a retired maintenance director for P.A.M. Transportation, who now runs Solutions Advocates. "A lot of it depends on your budget," he says.
Many measures can be carried out in a fleet's shop by its own technicians, who can install a wide array of security measures such as satellite-controlled stainless-steel locking pins on the inside trailer doors, huck-bolted door hardware and frames, horizontal pins in the rear trailer bolster to reinforce the doors, aluminum roofs instead of translucent plexiglass, and brightly painted undercoating to help inspectors spot breaches in the trailer floor.
Communication is vital to combating theft, and today's technology makes tracking shipments and reacting to issues easier and timelier. Tapp urges fleets to look into both passive and active communications systems between the truck and the home office – technologies that Prime also values.
"You have more virtual eyes and ears out there on the road than ever before," says Nick Erdmann, business development manager for Transport Security Inc. "When you look at all the systems available to fleets today – things like real-time communication, telematics and geofencing and monitoring systems for both trucks and trailers – they have more tools to help them fight theft than ever before."
But one of the most effective anti-theft tools Boehning has seen is a much more obvious low-tech method: a professional-grade padlock on the trailer doors. "I'm constantly amazed at how many unlocked trailers I see running down the roads today," he says. "Our number-one thing is our trailers are always locked, even if they're hauling air."
Tapp agrees that seal integrity is vital. If a seal has to be broken for repairs or a police check, establish procedures so that everybody knows about it. Record the numbers of both the seal that came off and its replacement, Tapp says.
Fleets also should consider reaching out to and nurturing partnerships with law enforcement agencies across the country. Walt Fountain, director of safety and enterprise security for Green Bay, Wis.-based Schneider National, advises fleets to attend one of several regional cargo theft prevention conferences where they can learn ways to improve their anti-theft measures and training and build a nationwide network for law enforcement assistance.
Above all, Tapp urges fleets not to be complacent about combating theft. "Crooks are smart," he says. "No matter what you do, they're going to figure out a way to defeat it. It's a constant process, and you can never let up."
Tapp also reminds fleets of an entirely different reason why drivers are a key element to consider when fighting cargo theft. "I hate to say this, but I think a lot of cargo theft cases are inside jobs," he says. "Treat your drivers right. They do a tough job day in and day out. If you acknowledge that and pay them a fair wage, they're going to be less likely to steal from you."
I could not agree more with the Author of this article and the contributors. When trying to combat any type of crime, you must always remember the Crime Formula: Desire, Skill, Opportunity. Of those three variables, Opportunity is the only one we can impact with crime prevention. A criminal wishes to accomplish their crime while minimizing their exposure, getting it done quickly and getting it done quietly.
A commercial grade lock on the trailer doors increases the time it takes to get into the trailer, the methods available to defeat a lock of that grade typically requires more noise, which increases the risk of the criminal's exposure. The trailer being parked in a lighted area increases the risk of exposure even more. When a criminal now assesses the trailer as a potential target, he realizes the risk is too high, therefore impacting his Opportunity.
The Seal Integrity is a critical component of combating internal theft, while all of the electronic components allow constant monitoring of the cargo enabling a timely response to "thefts in motion", pardon the pun! When you have precious cargo or exponentially more expensive cargo, it is difficult to get better protection than Security Escorts to keep a vigilant eye on your cargo at all times. Companies such as Shadow Freight Security provide vetted retired law enforcement officers to "shadow" your cargo during transport.
As a final note, as mentioned toward the end of this article, all companies should treat their employees respectfully and compensate them according to Merit as well as the Value they provide the company. These two simple management rules are being ignored in many industries across this country. Your people are your best investment!

Impacts of Climate Change and Variability on Transportation Systems and Infrastructure: Gulf Coast Study, Phase I
Date: March 2008
Creator: U.S. Climate Change Science Program and the Subcommittee on Global Change Research
Description: This document, part of the Synthesis and Assessment Products described in the U.S. Climate Change Science Program (CCSP) Strategic Plan. Climate affects the design, construction, safety, operations, and maintenance of transportation infrastructure and systems. The prospect of a changing climate raises critical questions regarding how alterations in temperature, precipitation, storm events, and other aspects of the climate could affect the nation's roads, airports, rail, transit systems, pipelines, ports, and waterways. Phase I of this regional assessment of climate change and its potential impacts on transportation systems addresses these questions for the region of the U.S. central Gulf Coast between Galveston, Texas and Mobile, Alabama. This region contains multimodal transportation infrastructure that is critical to regional and national transportation services. The significance of various climate factors for transportation systems was assessed.

Ocean Biogeochemistry and Global Change
Date: 1997
Creator: Joint Global Ocean Flux Study
Description: From the perspective of terrestrial ecosystems, the most important component of global change over the next three or four decades will likely be land-use/cover change. It is driven largely by the need to feed the expanding human population, expected to increase by almost one billion (109) people per decade for the next three decades at least. Much of this increase will occur in developing countries in the low-latitude regions of the world. To meet the associated food demand, crop yields will need to increase, consistently, by over 2% every year through this period. Despite advances in technology, increasing food production must lead to intensification of agriculture in areas which are already cropped, and conversion of forests and grasslands into cropping systems. Much of the latter will occur in semi-arid regions and on lands which are marginally suitable for cultivation, increasing the risk of soil erosion, accelerated water use, and further land degradation.

Description: In the stratosphere, ozone is created primarily by ultraviolet radiation. When high-energy ultraviolet rays strike ordinary oxygen molecules (O2), they split the molecule into two single oxygen atoms, known as atomic oxygen. A freed oxygen atom then combines with another oxygen molecule to form a molecule of ozone. There is so much oxygen in our atmosphere, that these high-energy ultraviolet rays are completely absorbed in the stratosphere.

Global Ocean Ecosystem Dynamics (GLOBEC) Science Plan
Date: 1997
Creator: Global Ocean Ecosystem Dynamics (GLOBEC)
Description: Human population and associated industrial activities continue to increase rapidly, and have reached levels that put the environment under stress in many areas of the world. In addition natural fluctuations of the Earth's physical and biological systems, often occur in time frames that are not readily evident to man. Such fluctuations cause additional stress on the environment, and can result in changes that impact society in terms of diminished availability of clean water, unspoiled land and natural vegetation, minerals, fish stocks, and clean air. Human societies are making a rapidly increasing number of policy and management decisions that attempt to allow both for natural fluctuations and to limit or modify human impact. Such decisions are often ineffective, as a result of economic, political and social constraints, and inadequate understanding of the interactions between human activities and natural responses. Improved understanding of such issues is important in its own right, and will contribute to ameliorating economic, political and social constraints. Developing improved understanding of environmental change is within the realm of the natural sciences and is being addressed by the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP) and other programmes concerned with describing and understanding the Earth System.

Solid Waste Disposal Act
Date: 1976
Creator: United States. Congress
Description: The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) gives EPA the authority to control hazardous waste from the "cradle-to-grave." This includes the generation, transportation, treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous waste. RCRA also set forth a framework for the management of non-hazardous solid wastes. The 1986 amendments to RCRA enabled EPA to address environmental problems that could result from underground tanks storing petroleum and other hazardous substances. HSWA - the Federal Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments - are the 1984 amendments to RCRA that focused on waste minimization and phasing out land disposal of hazardous waste as well as corrective action for releases. Some of the other mandates of this law include increased enforcement authority for EPA, more stringent hazardous waste management standards, and a comprehensive underground storage tank program.

IHDP Global Carbon Cycle Research: International Carbon Research Framework
Date: February 2001
Creator: Gupta, Joeeta; Lebel, Louis; Vellinga, Pier & Young, Oran
Description: The degree to which carbon flows balance each other - human activities leading to carbon emissions into the atmosphere, vegetation and oceans soaking it up - is the subject of vigorous debate. It is not yet possible to define quantitatively the global effects of human activities such as forestry and agriculture, and may never be so. However, studies to determine these effects have emerged as critical for understanding how the earth's climate will evolve in the future. Global concern about the potential implications of the behaviour of the carbon cycle under anthropogenic stress includes concepts of system instability and large scale change. To contribute to understanding this behaviour, and our potential responses to it, requires a thorough investigation of both biophysical and social systems. Until recently, most scientific assessments of such risks focused on the anatomy of conceivable environmental changes themselves, devoting little attention to either the human driving forces or the ecosystems and societies that might be endangered by the changes. Recently, however, questions about the linkage and interaction of social, ecological, and biogeochemical systems are emerging as a central focus of policy-driven assessments of global environmental risks. The approach used here is to accept humans as an integral ...

A Q&A with Gregg Lederman
We asked Gregg Lederman, CEO of Brand Integrity Inc. and author of Engaged! Outbehave Your Competition to Create Customers for Life, to weigh in on why what happens on the inside of a company, with employees, is so crucial to what happens outside of it, with customers. Lederman helps senior management teams to grow their business by getting employees to really believe in and live the brand. He will be presenting the keynote address "Engaged! Creating lifelong customers" at IABC's 2014 World Conference in Toronto, 8–11 June.
Jessica Burnette-Lemon: A lot of research that says we are in the midst of an engagement crisis; a Gartner study claims that in the U.S. alone, nearly 70 percent of employees are actively disengaged from their jobs. Why is that such a problem for companies? What is the financial cost of this level of disengagement?
Gregg Lederman: If an employee is disengaged, it means there is a high likelihood that they are not motivated or committed to consistently act in the best interest of the organization. When a high percentage of employees are either not engaged or worse, are actively disengaged, the results are easy to see and feel, and difficult to refute.
Week after week, I hear from company leaders about how the lack of engagement in their workforce leads to poor morale, lost productivity, high turnover, absenteeism, and other costly, employee-driven expenses that could be avoided by a happier, more motivated and committed workforce.
On the other hand, an engaged workforce has exactly the opposite effect on all of the metrics I just mentioned. In addition, they tend to help facilitate a more consistent customer experience, which leads to less price-sensitive customers who clearly define yourself:

better than gelatin marshmallows
Posted by 4945004047507988242 on Jan 31, 2016
I never liked the gelatin marshmallows they are just so weird. However, these are different. They are dense delicious marshmallows!!!! Sooo good! Iam not even vegan or vegetarian
Posted by 4952406147770357688 on May 01, 2016
I've never found vegan marshmallows before so I had to try these. They were fantastic. Strong vanilla flavour, great texture. Try not to eat them all at once, though - that didn't make me feel so good.
Posted by 5250527451218113481 on May 02, 2016
These are so delicious. I could easily devour a bag in one sitting. The best vegan marshmallows I've tasted.

A slightly less sweet version of normal marshmallows, Yummy :)
A tasty alternative!
Posted by 5728540998181725163 on May 03, 2016
A very tasty alternative to the ones with gelatine. A lot denser than the standard gelatine ones and do not melt as well however still great.
best marshmallows
Posted by gentletomato on May 04, 2016
I love the flavor of these. These are denser than your average marshmallow. They also don't have that crystallized sugar feeling when you eat them which makes it much more pleasant. I used these for hot chocolate and rice crispy treats. They do not melt as readily. but you can break them in half to speed it up.
Yum for vegans
Posted by 4870703965798453400 on Apr 07, 2016
One of the best vegan candies out there. Addictive.

Posted by 5528366135944417298 on May 23, 2016
These are good. Although a little large for some cups I have used them in hot chocolate and have the occasional one as a treat. It must have been over three weeks since they've been opened and in the cupboard, and they are still okay to eat.

In this BBtv vlog episode, Xeni speaks with Tibetan human rights worker Lhakpa Kyizom about reported abuses against so-called "wired monks" in Tibet, by PRC military and police. Using cellphones, these monks photographed people who had been killed or injured during nonviolent, pro-Tibetan sovereignty protests that took place in March. The monks then disseminated these images to supporters outside Tibet, using connected computers and mobile devices.
After the images spread worldwide, and their origin became known to authorities in the tightly-controlled, tense, post-protest environment in Tibet, Kyizom says, military forces invaded the monastery, confiscated all communications tools, and detained nearly 600 monks in political retaliation.
Kyizom works as a radio producer for Tibet Connection, and is a trainer with the Active Nonviolence Education Center in the Northern Indian town of Dharamshala, also home to the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan government in exile.
A partial transcript of Kyizom's account after the jump, and links to reports on further protests, mass detentions, and new pressure on Tibetans to denounce the Dalai Lama as the crackdown intensifies.
Update: Nathan Freitas says, "The unfortunate aftermath of the incidents your video covered...."
Two monks commit suicide in Amdo Ngaba
According to confirm information received by the Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy (TCHRD), two monks committed suicide in Amdo Ngaba (Ch: Aba) as a direct result of relentless oppression by the Chinese security forces after the series of peaceful protests.
Update 2: Chinese military police killed 8 Tibetans today, after shooting on hundreds of Tibetan monks and villagers in a monastery:
Witnesses said the clash – in which dozens were wounded – erupted late last night after a government inspection team entered a monastery in the Chinese province of Sichuan trying to confiscate pictures of the Dalai Lama.
Officials searched the room of every monk in the Donggu monastery, a sprawling 15th century edifice in Ganzi, southwestern Sichuan, confiscating all mobile phones as well as the pictures.
When the inspectors tore up the photographs and threw them on the floor, a 74-year-old monk, identified as Cicheng Danzeng, tried to stop an act seen as a desecration by Tibetans who revere the Dalai Lama as their god king
Lhakpa Kyizom:
Thousands of black and green uniformed Chinese security
forces entered 6 monasteries in Amdo in North-Eastern Tibet
(Sichuan province) (...)
The security forces raided each monk's room
confiscated all means of communication with the outside
world, including cell phones.
The monks were interrogated and were forced at
gunpoint to step on photographs of the Dalai Lama.
The security forces staged and videotaped the following
scenes of the Kirti Monastery monks in their rooms.
They forced some monks to hold up a portrait of the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan national flag
A small monk was forced to hide half his body underneath the wooden floorboards and made to place his hands on the keyboard of a lap top computer.
One of the monks managed to make a secret phone call to the
Kirti monks in Dharamsala, India. The monk in Tibet said:
"I am worried that the CCP is creating false evidence to try
to show that His Holiness the Dalai Lama is the mastermind
behind the protests in Tibet. The security forces forced us
to act out these scenes against our will with guns pointed
at us. I appeal to the people of the world, do not be
persuaded by these fake videosâ€
From March 28 to March 30 2008, around 572 monks including
10 year old monks of Kirti Monastery have been arbitrarily
On March 29th around 17 monks of TAKSTNG LHAMO KIRTI
MONASTERY in Dzoege county of Sichuan Province were
arbitrarily arrested
On the morning of March 30th 80 PRC staff members with
security forces
raided the monk's rooms of the same
monastery. They confiscated knives, arrows, and antique
guns that were on display in the chapel of the monastery's
protector deity.
These items are ancient traditional offerings to the
protectors, and symbolize the overcoming of obstacles and
negative emotions.
The monks are concerned that these items are being mis-
represented in the propaganda of the PRC and its mouthpiece
Xinhua on 30/30/08 as being evidence of monks taking up
arms. Xinhua reported that there were other weapons along
with the afore-mentioned items, which the monks claim is
completely fabricated.
Nobody knows the whereabouts of the monks who were arrested.

- About ACCIONA
- Sponsorships
- ACCIONA EcoPowered Dak...
The story of ACCIONA 100% EcoPowered is one of reaching milestone after milestone, encapsulating what ACCIONA is all about. The car became the first zero-emissions vehicle to compete in the 2015 Dakar Rally, powered 100% by clean energy, that is electric batteries. Second time around, the car has made a further leap forward in completing 10 stages, out of 13 that make up the toughest rally on the planet, of the 2016 race and becoming the fifth most media-followed vehicle in the race.
The tale began in 2012 when a 20-strong ACCIONA R&D&I team sought to realize their dream of building a zero-emission racing car: a machine with the capacity to compete in adverse conditions without emitting the least whiff of CO2.
With drivers Albert Bosch and Agustín Payá at the helm, we used the 2015 Dakar to prepare the ground for the challenge ACCIONA exists to take on: reaching its goal powered by renewable energy and with an eye firmly on the future.
In 2015, the car morphed into a vehicle with a chance of making bigger inroads into the rally, which winds through a wide range of arduous Argentine and Bolivian terrain. The battery system was redesigned to give the vehicle an electric-driven autonomy of 200 to 400 km, depending on conditions. The synchronous electric motor was overhauled to yield 300 hp, while weighing just 80 kg, making the car 40% lighter overall.
On 9 October 2015, another page was written in the history of the car: it became the first to complete an international FIA rally race without emitting CO2: the OiLybia International Morocco Rally.
After five stages of the 2,200 km event, held over the extreme terrain of the Moroccan desert, where temperatures exceed 40 degrees, the car, driven and nurtured by Ariel Jatón and Gastón Scasuzzo, made it and crossed the finishing line on the beach at Agadir. The achievement confirmed the promise of the ACCIONA 100% EcoPowered: we were ready to go back for another stab at the hard-fought, mud-caked Dakar.
The ACCIONA 100% EcoPowered team, led by Jatón and Scasuzzo, set off for Buenos Aires at the end of last year. On Saturday 2 January 2016, the 'penultimate' dream came true: the EcoPowered became the only vehicle to set off in the Dakar driven solely by renewable energy. It had but one mission: to continue to show the way forward. The last chapter in this adventure is still to be written.

I am a school principal. In my spare time I love to hang out with my daughter whenever I can, although she is now in college so there is less time to do that. When I am not with her you can find me on a peaceful journey in a cemetery somewhere. I am just getting used to it as I eventually plan to spend a great deal of time in one.

As Potter, he'd simply whisk the wand and make those damn piggies disappear, but as Ig Perrish, dude's forced to lock HORNS...
Hopefully the included photos illustrate what I mean. Courtesy of Omelete, a large batch of set photos from Alexandre Aja's HORNS have hit the net, and yes, Daniel Radcliffe is getting physical with a pair of patrollers. Having not read the Joe Hill book on which the flick is based, I do wonder how the confrontation turns out. Don't spoil it!
Also starring Juno Temple, James Remar, Kelli Garner, Joe Anderson and Max Minghella:
HORNS is about a decent enough young man named Ignatius Perrish, a guy who has always tried to do the right thing, only to see his whole life abruptly torn away from him. His girlfriend, the person he loves more than anyone in the world, is killed, and although he's never charged with the murder, everyone, including his family and friends, believe Ig is responsible. Then one night Ig goes out drunk to rage and curse God, and when he wakes, he discovers he's grown a pair of horns, and that people have a sudden compulsion to confess their darkest secrets and ugliest impulses to him. It isn't long before Ig turns his terrible new powers to finding the man who killed his beloved, and taking his revenge.
HORNS will be stuck in theaters next year sometime.

Tennessee Security Deposit Limits and Deadlines
A breakdown of Tennessee landlord-tenant laws on security deposits.
Most residential leases and rental agreements in Tennessee require a security deposit. This is a dollar amount, usually one month's rent, that's intended to cover damage to the premises beyond normal wear and tear, and to cushion the financial blow if a tenant skips out early on the lease without paying. Here's a summary of Tennessee landlord-tenant laws that cover the use and return of security deposits.
Does Tennessee law limit how much a landlord can charge a tenant for a security deposit?
No. In Tennessee, there's no statutory limit on security deposits at the state level, but check your city and county laws to see if your municipality has set a cap on security deposits for residential rentals.
To learn more about steps that tenants can take to protect their security deposit after they've paid it, check out Nolo's article Protect Your Security Deposit When You Move In.
What about when a tenant moves out? What is the deadline in Tennessee for returning a security deposit?
Under Tennessee law, a landlord must return the tenant's security deposit within 30 days after the tenant has moved out.
Learn more about tenants' rights and landlords' obligations when it comes to the return of the security deposit in Nolo's chart Cleaning and Repairs a Landlord Can Deduct from a Security Deposit and Nolo's article Get Your Security Deposit Back.
Is there additional information that Tennessee landlords must provide to tenants when it comes to security deposits in Tennessee?
Yes. In addition to complying with Tennessee laws on security deposit limits and how (and when) the deposit must be returned to tenants, landlords in Tennessee must provide tenants with advance notice before taking any deductions out of the security deposit, such as for the cost of repairs for damage to the property.
Also, Tennessee landlords must put deposits in a separate account and orally or in writing disclose the location of this account to the tenant.
Are there any exceptions to Tennessee security deposit rules?
Yes. The rule does not apply in counties that have a population of less than 75,000, according to the 2010 federal census or any subsequent federal census.
Where can I look up Tennessee law on security deposits?
If you want to go right to the source and look up Tennessee law on security deposits -- or if you're writing a letter to your landlord or tenant and want to cite the applicable law -- the relevant statute(s) can be found at Tennessee Code Annotated § 66-28-301. Your city or county might have different landlord-tenant and security deposit laws than those at the state level in Tennessee. For tips on looking up Tennessee state and local laws, check out Nolo's State Laws & Legal Research section.
You may also find useful information on tenant rights in the guide available at http://www.laet.org/getattachment/993c9198-f323-49c2-981a-3ea3327df17b/Tenant_Rights_Under_The_Uniform_Residential.aspx.

they will be hard to find. Aging by the baby boom generation is producing a dramatic rise in the number of teachers preparing to retire. In 2009 10, 15,493 new retirees were reported by the California State Teacher Retirement System. This is up 42 percent from 2005 06; 34 teachers more than all those trained in California colleges and universities in 2010 11. Despite the growth in retirements, the number of teachers with more than 20 years of experience has continued to rise, currently exceeding one out of every five teachers. Around 2001, the last time California went through this process of cutting budgets, laying off teachers and discouraging our most able young people from pursuing credentials, school districts had to scramble for qualified teachers. They had to take minimally qualified educators into the classrooms. The result was an inability to use hiring decisions to

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.2 /5 from 1630 reviews
I cannot rave about this hotel enough. The location is conveniently walkable to Central and the ferries. The rooms aren't huge, but bigger than those friends and colleagues of mine stayed in at other HK hotels where they payed WAY MORE. The bathroom was big and the ceilings were high. I asked for a high floor at check in and they obliged. The views out the floor-to-ceiling windows were spectacular. The vibe in the lobby was great and I met other creative/cool travelers that I hung out with and swapped HK travel ideas with. Additionally, I left the hotel in a rush to catch a plane and forgot my toiletry bag. The manager Bess worked with me over the next several days to send it to me at my next location. This customer assistance well after my stay was impressive to say the least.
Very comfortable stay
I stayed there for 10 days and arrived late in the evening. The first room given was a thick smoke smelled room (although reserve a non-smoking room). The second room was on 20 floor with the same facing but was told that it was upgraded. The carpet at the common area and the room need to be replaced badly as it looked old and dirty. The reception and the maid service is friendly. Location is convenient to the MTR station and market and reasonable price tag.
Stayed here before. Great service and very nice rooms. Not too large but very comfortable. Great central location with easy access to very reliable public transportation. Taxis are plentiful and very reasonable too.
The hotel staff is incredibly attentive to needs. The lounge and restaurant are as good as any of those in 'big downtown' hong kong hotels. For the price its the best hotel in Hong Kong.

Integrys Energy Group (NYSE:TEG) is rapidly approaching a return to dividend growth for the first time in more than two years.
Earnings excluding one-time items rose to $3.38 per share in 2011, reducing the payout ratio to 80.5 percent.
And the mid-point for 2012 earnings guidance, even including write-offs, is $3.45 per share, which would take the ratio below 80 percent for the first time since 2005.
Attaining management's long-run goal of 4 percent to 6 percent annual profit growth will depend on continuing to close the gap between allowed return on equity and what's actually earned, which was $15.4 million in 2011.
The company will benefit from the resolution in 2011 of four rate cases, accelerated main replacement in Illinois, strong earnings from its 34 percent ownership of American Transmission Company and steady growth of commercial and industrial customers.
Integrys' balance sheet earned an upgrade to A- from S&P in January. This was long overdue given the company's focus on regulated businesses and the de-risking of remaining unregulated operations such as retail energy marketing.
The $490 million of debt maturing between now and the end of 2013 is 11.9 percent of market capitalization but carries coupon interest rates a percentage point above the yield to maturity on Integrys' 24-year debt.
This implies a considerable opportunity to cut interest costs again in 2012, following last year's 12.9 percent reduction. This makes Integrys Energy Group a great energy stock pick for income investors.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

It's a funny thing, this food blogging. Here we are, me at my desk (aka my kitchen table), you with your computer (or maybe your phone) and we get to connect. I write, I create recipes, I take pictures; you read, look and make some recipes. You tell me what you changed in the recipes and give me ideas to try the next time I make it. We really have a thing going on here, you and I.
Sometimes though I feel like it's a bit of a "Facebook" friendship. You know, we share the good, maybe the bad, but not the ugly. Happy times only.
But here's the thing … there's this baked salmon recipe that I really want to share with you. It's sweet and smoky and every bit delicious and I just know you're going to love it. It's perfect for summer. Perfect for this weekend. But (you knew there was a but coming, didn't you?) I'm just not feeling all that happy happy joy joy today, and I'm not very good at faking it.
In the spirit of friendship, and because I really don't want to keep this salmon recipe from you a day longer, I'm going to break from the routine and put myself on the line.
Two days ago my handsome man got in his work truck and drove away. Poor poor me. I feel a little silly complaining cause I really only have to make it through the next 2¾ days till I can get on a plane and see him again, but almost 5 days without him feels like an eternity. I want to tell you that I'm taking this little time apart to focus on myself, connect with friends, read, meditate, etc, etc, etc, but right now the house just feels empty, and I want him back.
It's a funny thing to have someone in my life that fits so well even a short absence leaves a hole. Four years ago I was fiercely independent and never knew what it was like to miss someone. Four years younger me would have laughed at me now.
I've never been one to turn to food for comfort, bourbon perhaps, but never food. I think it might be time to change that. I'm going to make some sweet and smoky baked salmon. I'm going to cover it in roasted tomato salsa. I'm going to pull a bottle of wine from my fridge and pour a glass. Who's up for coming over for dinner?
Thanks for listening to all the poor me poor me talk. You really are the best. Now let me tell you about something a little happier: this baked salmon. I've made a simple rub for it using smoked paprika, brown sugar, thyme and a little bit of cayenne. It's where both the sweet and smoky in the title and the ultra-bright orange-y red colour of the salmon comes from.
If your house is a bazillion degrees and the idea of turning on the oven has you sweating already you can definitely try this on the BBQ. It's not something I've done myself but, as the temperature keeps creeping higher, I suspect it'll be happening shortly.
I know I've gone on and on before about how important it is to not overcook fish, so I'll just keep it simple here. Please please do not overcook your fish. Bake it just until an instant-read thermometer tells you it is 140 degrees Fahrenheit, or until the flesh flakes with the most gentle touch of your fork. ♥
- 4 cups cherry tomatoes
- ¼ cup plus 1 tablespoon minced onion
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Spanish paprika
- 1 teaspoon finely minced fresh thyme
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne powder
- 4 salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons thinly sliced basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon liquid honey
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- ½ teaspoon dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Sea salt and fresh cracked pepper, to taste
- 8 cups of lettuce leaves
- Turn your oven to 420 degrees. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Put 3 cups of the cherry tomatoes and ¼ cup of the onion in a small baking dish. Drizzle the top with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and sprinkle over ½ teaspoon of sea salt. Put the tomatoes in the oven, don't wait for it to heat up, and let them roast for 20 minutes. Quarter the remaining cherry tomatoes and set them aside.
- While the tomatoes are roasting make the salad dressing then prepare the rest the meal. In a small bowl mix together the brown sugar, Spanish paprika, thyme and cayenne powder.
- Place the salmon on the prepared baking tray and sprinkle the rub evenly over top of each piece. Drizzle the tops with the remaining 2 teaspoons of olive oil.
- When the tomatoes are finished roasting remove them from the oven and turn the heat down to 320. Keep the oven door open for a few seconds to lower the heat. Put the salmon in the oven and let it roast for 10 minutes, or until it has reached an internal temperature of 140 degrees and flakes easily with a fork. Do not over cook the salmon!
- Add the fresh tomatoes, onion, basil and tarragon to the roast tomatoes and mix together well.
- To serve: Spoon the roasted tomato salsa over the salmon with a heap of salad on the side.
- In a medium sized bowl whisk together the apple cider vinegar, honey, balsamic and dijon mustard. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. Season to taste with sea salt and fresh cracked pepper.
- Toss the lettuce leaves with the dressing immediately before you serve dinner.

Twitter: @daniforbess
Dani Forbess was born and raised in the Bay Area and began to call Seattle home when her family uprooted to the Northwest in the early 1990's. She studied English Literature at Seattle Pacific University and then graduated from Princeton Theological Seminary in 2002. Dani served in Belfast, Northern Ireland during the course of her studies and then earned the Parish Pulpit Award to continue in overseas service. She and her husband, Doug, lived in Cape Town, South Africa where they both served at Mowbray Presbyterian Church. She returned back stateside for a call as an Associate to First Presbyterian Church of Granada Hills in the greater Los Angeles area.
Doug and Dani have three children, and have had their balancing abilities greatly strengthened as they have shared in parenting. Before coming to Northminster, Dani was a practitioner in the work of Faith Formation for Children and Family Ministries at University Presbyterian Church.
The Forbess Family has relished the move to the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle and is actively engaged in community work. Worshipping in a small local church has brought the work of Christian service where it belongs, back on the ground. You can find Dani throughout the Ballard landscape on any given day listening to others about what God is up to in this corner of the Northwest. She'll probably be holding more books than she can carry.

I am a long time resident of Seattle and a 15 year member of Northminster. I have two fabulous daughters and numerous cats, dogs and chickens. I like reading, gardening, crafting and opera.
Ally Pexa
Christian Education Lead
I was born and raised in Northern California and in 2012 I moved to attend Seattle Pacific University, where I am currently working on my BA in Theology. While I do miss my family, I truly love my new home here in Seattle. In 2014, I was privileged to start working at Northminster. I instantly fell in love with the amazing community of this church. One of the things that I appreciate the most about Northminster is the way the youth are involved in all aspects of church life, whether that is worship on Sundays or serving dinner at the homeless shelter. Our youth here are not only seen as the future of the church, but also important as members that the Holy Spirit can, will, and is currently using in powerful ways. I am so excited to have the opportunity to work with and alongside the kids at Northminster. When I am not working, you can probably find me on a long run or hiking somewhere in the mountains, rain or shine.
Eric Johnson
Eric Johnson has always pursued a dual career in sacred music and modern dance. For many years organist at the First Church of Christ, Scientist, Mercer Island Eric has been organist at Northminster since spring 2015.
Following a career as a modern dancer and choreographer Eric is now a full-time dance educator in Seattle public and private schools and a national workshop leader for the
Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, leading training for teachers and artists on integrating dance with classroom curriculum.
Jim Peterson
Choir Director
Jim Peterson, Choir Director at Northminster, is a true Seattle native, having been born at Virginia Mason Hospital on First Hill. When Jim was 10, he and his parents re-located to Chuckanut Bay, near Bellingham, which is still "home" today.
Jim knew from an early age that he would be a professional musician/performer, beginning piano studies at age 7. A precocious talent in piano and voice, Jim traveled to Luther College, Decorah, IA to study music, and earned BA's in Music and German. Jim studied choral music under the legendary conductor of Luther's famous Nordic Choir, Weston Noble. Jim returned home to continue his music studies at the University of Washington, earning a Master's in Piano Performance under the renowned teacher/performer, Dr. Robin McCabe. Jim also continued his choral studies, under Dr. Joan Conlon, and eventually became a Washington State Certified teacher in K-12 Choral and Instrumental Music. During these years, Jim was a founding member of Seattle's now critically acclaimed a cappella chamber choir, The Esoterics. Jim can be heard as tenor soloist on several of the ensembles commercially available recordings.
Jim was hired to rebuild a once proud choral tradition at Lake Washington High School, Kirkland, in 1996. In the 18 years Jim taught at LW, his choirs became very well known, locally, regionally and even nationally for their maturity and artistry, winning dozens of awards and accolades. In addition, Jim founded the also outstanding string orchestra program there, garnering top honors, and acclaim from 2003 till Jim left Lake Washington in spring of 2014. Jim went on to found and currently still directs, two community based youth music ensembles in Kirkland, the Carillon Chamber Singers and Carillon Chamber Orchestra. Now in their second season, these ensembles are already gaining much interest and critical acclaim for their musical excellence and artistry.
From 1992 to 2012, Jim had a wonderful 20 year relationship first as organist/pianist and then Music Director of Central Lutheran Church on Capitol Hill, one of Seattle's most musical congregations. Currently, Jim lives with his partner Jeff Walker, in a charming 1920 Mission revival house in Everett, and loves to sing karaoke and perform cabaret shows as a fulfilling, albeit much less highbrow, musical outlet.

I am looking for a list of blogs that concentrate on a subject matter similar to the "87 cool things" presentation from google creative labs (slideshare link here). I keep seeing things like the Tupac hologram or arduino-controlled light or even stuff like the nike chalkbot and wonder what blogs to look out for technical possibilities over a wide area. I am aware of gizmodo, laughing squid and boingboing, all of which do these things every now and then but not all the time. Thanks for your input!

Explain "blogs", please
What is a Blog? Does anyone have any links to decent, well written explanations, explaining the phenomenon of Blogging? It needs to be as non-techy as possible and preferably from a mainstream, well regarded source.
