There seem to be no easy answers in the investing world to explain why the price of gold tumbled Friday and kept falling Monday. Since September 2012, the price of gold has been on a downward trajectory. It hit $1,800 and then meandered down to about $1,600 until Friday. At around noon Tuesday, gold was at $1,377.40 per troy ounce.
"What happened on Friday was the equivalent of 15 percent of the world's entire mined supply of gold being dumped in a single three-hour window. That was an extraordinary hammering," says Chris Martenson, CEO and co-founder of Peak Prosperity. "There is no market in the world that can sustain elevated prices under that environment."
Stocks weren't unscathed by the trouncing, but that's not surprising. "Generally speaking, when you get a sell-off in one market, particularly a highly levered market, you tend to see sell-offs in other markets," Martenson says.
Scary reason No. 1: Fall in commodities can signal deflation
As we all know, the Federal Reserve has been throwing money into the economy by the bucketful, to the tune of $85 billion per month in its third quantitative easing program, or QE3, since January 2013.
"Commodities are usually a sensitive indicator on whether you are in an inflationary or deflationary environment," Martenson says. "From a signaling standpoint, markets might look at that and say, 'Oops, liquidity is drying up, deflation is here.'"
Combine that signal with the less-than-great economic data seen over the past two months, and it could mean not-great things -- specifically that investors are doubtful the Fed is inflating anything but the stock market.
"The thesis all along is that the Fed is going to force reflation. The problem with that is that price is not believing it, price meaning that which should be sensitive to reflation is not actually doing well," says Micheal Gayed, CFA, co-portfolio manager of the ATAC Inflation Rotation Fund.
Reflation refers to monetary and fiscal policies designed to fight deflation -- for instance, the Federal Reserve's quantitative easing programs. Deflation is the opposite of inflation. Rather than going up, prices fall, and consumers stop spending.
Typically, when investors are nervous about economic conditions, investments that are less sensitive to the economic cycle do well -- consumer staples, utilities, health care and bonds. Investments that are more sensitive to inflation do poorly during those times.
"One would think that $85 billion is a lot of money and would be inflationary and would cause gold to do well and commodities to do well -- but it's not," Gayed says.
If the economy picks up steam, consumers continue to spend and unemployment decreases, the sudden fall in the price of gold will eventually be nothing more than a memory. On the other hand, if the price of commodities is a barometer for broadly shifting expectations on inflation and the economy lags, that could bode ill for the stock market.
"If suddenly the cyclical trade returns, jobs pick up, growth picks up, maybe this gets resolved positively and favorably for inflation. But as of the end of January, this has been a prolonged period of expectations for deflation. Gold, like every other asset class, is going to react off of that," says Gayed.
Scary reason No. 2: Computers run markets and crash them
That gold's crash is a signal of deflation that could lead to a market downturn, and a return to economic gloom is squarely in the worst-case-scenario realm. The reality may very well be more banal.
"This is the bullion banks doing what they do, which is making obscene amounts of money by manipulating markets. I'm using that word carefully and mean it," says Martenson.
Back in January, giant bullion banks began building big short positions. That means they were betting that the price of gold would go down
"Then in February, they started warning clients that the gold market might be topping. I'd been watching little, tiny test bear raids in the overnight markets where they blast a few thousand contracts into these tiny, thin markets at 12 at night just to see what is happening," Martenson says.
After introducing a little uncertainty into the market with the overnight rates, they blasted the market and cleaned up with short positions at the bottom.
"That is unfortunately how markets work now. We have completely ineffective regulators on the scene, and even if they were going to try to be effective, what I saw on Friday and Sunday was being driven by (high-frequency trading) computers," says Martenson.
"When you have these computers ruining these markets, you get these extraordinary swings. Where in the past I think the bullion banks would have shaved $40, $60 or $80 off of the price of gold, it took more than $200 off the price. This is the kind of exacerbated market dynamic when we have these computers," he says.
Of the two implications, high-frequency trading is the more unsettling to me at the moment. Regulators are outgunned, essentially with a knife at a gun fight, while markets are taken for a ride.

Press Review: Led Zeppelin's Music Needs the Spectrum
A lot of people complain about the Spectrum as a place to hear rock music. Much better, they say would be an intimate place where the sound could come through bell-like, unsullied by reverberation off 17,000 people and massive concrete walls.
The Led Zeppelin concert last night at the big hall, however, pointed up what a fallacy the anti-Spectrum reasoning is, for some groups at least. The histrionics of the band members, the awesome pretension of their loudness and stage antics, made it clear that several elements go into "superstar" concerts.
First, of course, is the music. To fill a hall the size of the Spectrum (which last night held 16, 847 persons), huge amplification systems are needed. Every little instrument, even the hi-hat on the drum kit, must have a microphone place next to it.
What happens then is that a little sound, such as a tambourine being shaken, becomes a mighty apocalyptic noise, louder than if the sky were to fall. Everything, in other words, gets bigger and louder and seemingly more important.
Then, the ambience of the hall and the people in it is important. With about 17,000 people on hand, rock-festival-like hassles are inevitable. That sense of hearing the concert, "in spite of" the surroundings make everything seem that much more delicious.
And the huge throng, which carpets the mammoth hall, makes demands on the musicians for showmanship and song selection that no one could possibly fulfill.
With everything magnified so much – the sound by amplification, personal gestures by the necessity to telegraph meaning to an enormous room, audience reaction and demands by the sheer number of people in the hall – it's no wonder that rock stars have to live lives of overblown profligacy off stage.
Only the sanest and most secure – like George Harrison – can keep things at a human level within their aura, and let them blow up to unreal proportions once beyond the stage lip.
Led Zeppelin is led by Jimmy Page on guitar…. Page is lightning fast and slick as a whistle. And he's inventive too. His interest in the capacity of his instrument was demonstrated last night when he used a violin bow to work an organ-toned sound out of the guitar.
Page's guitar sound is perfectly matched strangely by vocalist Robert Plant. Sexier on stage than even Mick Jagger, Plant pointed up the complement of his voice and Page's guitar by trading off licks with Page – who would play three notes on his guitar and Plant would sing them back.
Making up the rest of the group are John Paul Jones on bass and organ and John Bonham on drums. Jones plays a melodic bass, a necessity with an under-instrumented band. Bonham brought down the house with a 20-minute solo that got him so worked up he abandoned the sticks and started beating the drums with his bare hands.
Zeppelin played for two-and-a-half hours last night, a rarity. But the overall impression was that they sailed flashily and mightily, but failed somehow to engage, working below the level when the brain gears in. (Bulletin – W. Mandel, June 1972)


text: I am seriously considering taking up beekeeping as a hobby. Right now I live in southern Ontario, Canada but I am looking at getting a job in the north, near Thunder Bay (just north of Minnesota USA). My question is this - can I start hives here and ship them north? It is about 20 hours drive. I probably will not be getting settled until the summer, and I am worried that starting a hive that late might lessen their chances at surviving the harsh winter temps. Thanks for any help, Glen.

text: I have a 1999 Express 3500 cargo van that I have owned for about 2 years now. The other day I went to start it and the battery was dead (been about a week since I used it). Put my jumper on it and it cranked and fired, but dies immediately. Tried again, same thing. Then I realized the security light was on. This has never happened before since I owned it. I changed the ECU about a year and a half ago and did have to reset the security then, but it went fine and have never had the issue again. Problem is, now I cannot get it to reset no matter what I do I've tried "key on for 10 minutes", "key on for 30 minutes", "key on for 10 minutes then off for 5 seconds, 3 times" and also "crank then leave key on for 10 minutes then off for 5 seconds, 3 times". Nothing is working. The light never goes out at all except when I turn the key off. What am I missing here? Also tried the "lock/unlock drivers door" trick too, but it is a cargo van with no power options, so I really didn't expect that to work anyway. Been messing with this damn thing for 2 days now to no avail. Any help is appreciated. Thanks Bug

Goodluck in the future. With kind regards family Bemelmans, family Esseling and family Willems from the Netherlands.
A very nice, big house in the old town. With arches from 1771! We enjoyed it very much.
The house is great. You have enough room, beautiful pool and everything is clean. Two minor issues: 1. The owner can only speak Spanish, so that can be difficult. 2. The bed in one of the rooms was clearly at the end of his life.
The service from 'Charming Islands' was perfect. They are 24hours available and the service is good and swift.
We had a great vacation.
Absolutely perfect stay. The apartment and location were brilliant , close to the beach and near to amenities. The owners were lovely. And the chalet/villa was lovely. Would highly recommend it!
one word description: AWESOME!
Beautiful house in a beautiful, quiet surrounding.
a lot of privacy and a perfect porch next to the pool.
very friendly people!
...aside from german neighboors, which complain about noise of beeping birds and some music, it was just a perfect vacation!
location is close to highway - 15 min to beach.
Only things missing: cooler, guitar and music amp
absolutely recommendable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very nice house with lots of space, well equipped kitchen and lovely garden. Walking-distance to the lively center of Valldemossa.

Step 1
Place bulgur and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add boiling water and stir. Cover with plastic wrap and let soak until tender and liquid has been absorbed, about 30 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, preheat grill to medium-high. Place a fine-mesh nonstick grill topper on the grill to heat.
Step 3
Place zucchini, onions, portobellos and tomatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Brush both sides with 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Working in batches, grill the vegetables until tender, turning once or twice. Allow 8 to 10 minutes for zucchini and onions, 6 to 8 minutes for mushrooms, and 2 to 3 minutes for tomatoes.
Step 4
Toast walnuts in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. When the vegetables are cool enough to handle, coarsely chop the zucchini, onions and mushrooms. Cut the tomatoes in half.
Step 5
When the bulgur is tender, add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, lemon juice, parsley and mint; toss to mix. Add the vegetables and toss. Sprinkle with walnuts.

Anyone out there render honeycomb? I have watch like a zillion youtube videos and frankly confused. Any tips?????
Anyone out there render honeycomb? I have watch like a zillion youtube videos and frankly confused. Any tips?????
Got Honey? my Facebook group
I render comb. What amounts are you talking about?
I have a 30 gallon garbage bag full.
Got Honey? my Facebook group
i melt all of mine down. it's useful stuff. can be used to coat plastic foundation to help them decide to draw it out. folks sue for candles, salve, lip balm...etc. I use it for waterproofing boots, lubricating deck screws...and about 100 things i haven't thought of yet. I've had mixed results with the solar melter. But, i have had great luck just melting it down in a metal pail over a camp burner. att a bit of water to the bottom of it and then stir in the wax. I skim the surface with #8 hardware cloth, but you could pour through a strainer to do the same thing. When it cools you have a nice yellow wax cake with some propolis on the bottom. i just scrape that off and discard it. you could pour the wax nto molds if so desired, but i usually just break it and toss it into the "wax bucket" for a future project.
Rain water is suppose to be good to melt in, nice and soft. Messy job do it outside if you can
The solar idea works well, you can make one up out of a styrofoam cooler, but it is small and would take a while with that much
Use a slow cooker /crock pot. bigger the better. Wash it you can to get the honey out. It'll be done quicker.

Real Estate Accounting and Reporting Manual
Product Information
The Real Estate Accounting and Reporting Manual was designed to give financial managers and executives the compliance and business guidance needed to maximize returns and minimize risks on real estate transactions and investments.
To help your company or client comply with real estate accounting requirements, the Manual cites applicable accounting literature from the FASB, AICPA, and EITF, including accounting requirements for acquisition, development, and construction (ADC) costs.
The Manual also focuses on key real estate tax issues, including the choice of entity, sales and exchanges, real estate tax credits, and loss limitations. In addition, you can learn how to avoid the adverse tax consequences of having your real estate activities classified as "passive."
Several chapters in the Manual focus on emerging issues in real estate finance. You get in-depth discussions of acquisition, development, and construction costs, real estate workouts, debt restructuring, and current value reporting. In addition, it provides an authoritative overview of the various forms of real estate ownership ? from partnerships to REITs to REMICs ? along with the advantages and disadvantages of each strategy.

Being an engine builder myself, I question some of the operations left out of the build, as having rods checked for out of round and not replacing rod bolts on a core motor that you don't know any history.using old cast pistons on a 10 to one motor and turning it 6,000 rpm makes me wonder about longevity of this motor, especially a daily driver. was the crank micro polished? even good used cranks get micro grooves. I didn't see a new balancer listed, I never use a harmonic balancer over, like going to a wrecking yard to buy tires, the rubber in balancers go bad with time, good way to brake a crank.I also did not see a new oil pump listed, or was this an over site? A high volume pump would be a must for this build. your HP numbers were impressive but the longevity of this build scares me, if I am spending $3500, I'm going to spend another five or $600 to beef up the bottom end. the top end makes the HP, but the bottom makes it live.
motorman775I think they believe everyone knows to through the basic parts away or have them checked. I myself don't rely on much of what I read anymore. I build custom, and hi performance engines also. I tell a new customer what he needs to do it right,if he doesn't like it. Take your stuff to the guy down the street. He'll build you anything you want, whether it lasts or not thats your gamble. It's that simple.... "Our Motto" is this. If you can't afford to build it right the first time,Can you afford to build it a second time? Bob
Personally, I agree. I always say, it's no longer cheap when you do it twice. HotRodMag years ago had a great article on investing cash in the bottom end, bolting on a set of heads, and when the budget bounced back, putting on better heads (which tend to move the powerband up the RPM range) and being confident that you already have a forged crank, aligned main bearing caps and saddles, excellent ring seal, etc.On the flip side, "economy" is in the eye of the beholder. If I had a car with a 305 in it and was halfway thru building a killer 496-572cid for the car, I would consider a truck 350 and nitrous slapped together to get the car going for the summer. By the time the 4 bolt died, the rat should be ready to go onto its engine mounts. No sense leaving the 305 in there with a built THM400 and Currie 9 and other heavy duty components, why not have some fun?There's more than one way to skin the cat, and I guess that's someone that could get mentioned in an editorial sometime, what constitutes a budget rebuild depends upon the intended use. Up north where the cruise goes for 4-5 months, longevity is a relative term. Down south, even without trips to the strip, different story.
Just because you can't do it...doesn't mean its impossible
gtomustangYou know how us gear heads think...LOL... We want to go fast, and when we get to go fast that isn't fast enough.You see where I'm going our budget isn't a budget. In retrospect If I were to build a 305. I would get a 4.0" bore block, a 3.0" stroke crank, a good set of aluminum heads and scream that little engine. It has one of the best Rod Ratios in the business. 1.9 R/R. a 2.0 is the best there is. But it has to run in the stratisphere to really make that power. Thats why GM got away from the small journal crank, forged or not we were bending them breaking them twisting them beyond belief. Now when GM put a large journal forged crank in it that ran out front on the SCCA circut. Then because of the head design they started cracking. The Ford 289 and 302 were taking the show away from GM. I had a 64.5 Mustang Convertible with a 271/289. The guy I bought it from sent it out to Tasca Ford in Rhode Island. It was gone through. What an animal that little engine was. It had 4:30 Rear gears with a detroit locker. I could take off in 3rd gear, and the engine wouldn't lug. That was.The engine was balanced and blue printed, a complete Crane Solid Roller was installed.The list is too long. I wish I had it today. It had a manual top. It was actually the 310/289 2X4 on it.

Making a Splash in the White Mountains
Red Jacket Mountain View Resort • North Conway, NH
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Up to Four Guests in a Room with Two Beds
- Four Kahuna Laguna Water Park Passes
- Your Choice of One of the Following: One 30-Minute Massage or One Facial or One Manicure at the On-Site Spa
The Destination
Rustic in scenery and rough in character, northern New Hampshire's White Mountains are a symbol of New England's simultaneous grit and grace. Sunsets through the region's iconic birch trees make for an ethereal scene, and miles and miles of wilderness appeal to that quintessential American value: rugged individualism. Skiers, mountaineers, and wildlife seekers will find a haven in these rocky hills, but the small towns that dot the valleys offer country-style comforts in homegrown artisan shops, restaurants, and coffeehouses.
The Digs
Red Jacket Mountain View Resort in North Conway, New Hampshire, sprawls across 25 secluded acres in a wooded lakeside valley in the stunning White Mountains. Hot tubs adorn the campus, and family-size rooms offer a host of amenities from plush beds, jetted tubs, in-room refrigerators, and climate-controlled air-conditioning. Still, the property's biggest draw is the Kahuna Laguna Indoor Water Park. Named one of America's Top 10 Water Parks by TripAdvisor, northern New England's first indoor water park is a balmy 82 degrees all year.
The Diversions
• Indulge in a massage, facial, or manicure at the property's in-house spa
• Enjoy the outdoors by hiking, biking, or horseback riding
• Admiring the flowers along the Conway Scenic Railroad
• Shop the boutique and speciality stores in the scenic downtown area
"The water park is amazing! With a wave pool, multiple water tubing runs, a giant Jacuzzi, a water-basketball area, and two separate superbly equipped play areas for smaller children, [it's] a giant bargain for hours of fun!"-- TripAdvisor

I am in Georgia and have SBB on my hives. Do I need to cover them with foam or
a thin board or does it get cold enough here to worry about, it's my first winter with bees.
I am in Georgia and have SBB on my hives. Do I need to cover them with foam or
a thin board or does it get cold enough here to worry about, it's my first winter with bees.
It is my first year beekeeping, and I too use SBB and live in NW GA. I am not going to do anything with my SBBs. Many people up North in much colder climates don't cover their SBBs.
Let's Eat Grandmaw ........... Let's Eat, Grandmaw.......Grammar Saves Lives
First year beekeeper hear from Central Ar and should have simular winters as you. My Mentor and many other beekeepers around be tell me to make sure you vent the hive on the top to let the damp air out, most of the leave their SBB open. I talked to a few of them and the drill 3/8 holes in their top boxes to vent the hives also.
Hope that Helps.
I started from a split in August a year ago. Feed until you have enough stores (I used two deeps). I put newspaper and sugar (mountain camp feeding method) on top of the top deep just as insurance, but they barely touched it I had a medium box around the sugar, and the inner cover on top and a telescoping top. I left the SBB open. Last winter was not that bad here, and that may have played a role in my bee's survival. Just a little to think about.
Pictures here on my blog.
Good luck!

take you some of those political signs you see all over the road cut it to fit and slid in over the screen.
foreststalker, i'm not too far from you here in northeast alabama.
i only have two winters under my belt so far.
the first winter, i had just inner covers, and they were not notched for ventilation. in the spring, i found a lot of mold on the undersides of the inner covers and on the tops of the frames below it.
last winter, i put notches in the front and back of the inner covers, and i stapled window screen over them. i also put half inch pink styrofoam between the inner and out covers. i did not find any mold this spring.
i have solid bottom boards.
the main thing is to avoid the 'ceiling' of the hive from getting cold enough for the moisture to condense on it and drip back down on the cluster.
i'm thinking if the top has a little insulation, the moisture will collect on the sides of the boxes instead of the ceiling, where it can't hurt the bees, and may be used by the bees if they need some water.
journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
Forest I would not worry about covering your SBB, you do need a vent up top though. Do you have a inner cover with a notch in it?
Please visit my page, Thanks

text: Hi, today I noticed a large number of dead bees in front of one of my hives. I thought it was unusual, but I left and didn't think much about it until tonight, when I saw that the number grew to very abnormal levels, hundreds of them, all in one big mass. The bees were crawling around the top entrance and falling to the ground and freezing to death. I suspect dysentery to be the cause, as I saw some feces around the entrance. So, my question is should I block the entrance with screen or let them be? I'm not sure if it would change the outcome of the hive, but I want to save them if I can.

Futures Flat; Cliffs Natural Resources, Berkshire Hathaway Rising
Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average and Standard & Poor's 500 index are essentially flat this morning, ahead of another week's trading. The major stock indexes all closed at record highs Friday.
Leading the S&P premarket is Cliffs Natural Resources (CLF), up more than 4% after the stock was upgraded at FBR to Outperform.
As analyst Mittesh Thakkar wrote:
Last week, we hosted several investor meetings with Cliffs Natural Resources, Inc.'s (CLF) management team and came away more constructive on its ability to withstand weak iron ore prices. We believe Cliffs has multiple levers to pull including (a) reducing expenses by curbing spending on chromite; (b) scaling back 2014 capex; (c) reducing operating costs in Canadian business; and (d) monetizing assets to boost liquidity, if needed. We also believe that Cliffs' U.S. operations are well positioned to withstand potentially higher domestic supply, and the company has the ability to boost reserves in Australia. Furthermore, we believe recent trends in China (low port inventories, higher domestic prices, and profitability of steel mills) are also supportive of iron ore imports. Finally, CLF shares have declined 49% year to date versus a 10% gain for the broader market, which has also made valuation attractive based on our expectations of a $115/ton iron ore price in 2014. Accordingly, we are upgrading shares of CLF to Outperform from Market Perform and maintaining our price target of $28/share based on 7.0x 2014E EV/EBITDA.
Cliffs closed Friday at $19.91.
Berkshire Hathaway (BRKA) (BRKB) stock is up more than 2% after Warren Buffett's annual meeting last weekend in Omaha. Late Friday, Berkshire released its latest results:
Berkshire Hathaway said first-quarter profits had jumped more than 50 per cent from the year-ago period because of insurance gains and overall growth from the $268bn conglomerate's diverse mix of business.
The results, which came after Berkshire A shares closed at an all-time high of $160,294, were published ahead of the group's annual meeting when tens of thousands of investors descend on Omaha, Nebraska, to hear Warren Buffett and his long-time business partner Charlie Munger answer questions from shareholders, journalists and analysts.
Falling this morning are shares of Tyson Foods (TSN), down more than 5% after disappointing earnings and a cut in outlook:
The company and its competitors are still feeling the effects of the worst drought in 50 years in the U.S. Midwest last year that pushed up feed costs and reduced cattle supplies.
Tyson forecast sales of $34.5 billion for fiscal-year 2013, down from its previous forecast of $35 billion. Analysts expected $34.49 billion, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Tyson's net income fell 43 percent to $95 million, or 26 cents per share, from $166 million, or 44 cents per share, a year earlier. On an adjusted basis the company earned 36 cents per share. Sales rose by just under 2 percent to $8.42 billion.
Analysts on average had expected earnings of 45 cents per share, on revenue of $8.58 billion, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by armygirl, Jul 1, 2009.
It's possible that we don't even trade Prince/Hamilton.
they can afford tay and milsap if they trade Boozer. But Rip guarding Lebron!? thats laughable.
Tay is only $2.4 mil below Boozer for the upcoming season and before signing Millsap Jazz are already over the cap. So they can't afford to have both Tay and Millsap.
Its possible that they could do a sign/trade with one of the teams and dump salary to persue Lee or Milsap. Maybe even trade for Boozer.
He will be traded for a young, mediocre big and some guy with a contract nearly as bad.
Tay at the 4 worked out far better than Rip at the 3.
Prince and Rip for Bosh... I'd do it in a heartbeat.
This is Joe's Waterloo. He has to find a taker for Rip, and get something back. He cant do what the Clips did by trading "ZBo for Q" We need value, otherwise, this team is destined to be a 1st round exit in the playoffs for the the foreseeable future.
Yeah but I thought Bosh wanted out of Toronto?
Folks you've gotta watch this stuff, it's going to get VERY interesting!!!! Hedo will be the next to sign and will have a ripple effect. I'm thinking that Hedo signs with Portland, if so Tor is screwed - because they have no SG or SF AT ALL!!!! We could give them (Tor) Rip for a 2nd rd pick. That move would put us back up to around $17M in cap space. Back to Portland, they now have a huge Logjam at SF - so somebody has got to go. Port will need to get rid of 2 of the following - Webster, Outlaw, Batum or Rudy. Let's say they decide on Webster and Outlaw. With our $17Mill we could do a 3 team trade, where:Utah gets Outlaw and saves over $8M in cap space enough to sign Millsap.PISTONS get Boozer & WebsterPort gets Maxiel, they chop $3.3M off the cap and clear up theSF logjam and get a decent backup PF in Max.Branew Rasta: PG: Stuckey / Bynum SG: Ben G / AA SF: Tay / Webster / Rooks PF: Boozer / Charlie V C: Kwame / Scrub Free Agent Veteran.
This is what I've been fantasizing about all night. It's doubtful that they'd trade away one of the best young big men in the league, but given his recent unwillingness to stay with Toronto, this at least nets them two all-star caliber players.
And it took how many endless threads for someone to state the obviousness of the situation. Thank you.
Pass if I was half as smart as you, it would double my IQ.
That would be completely unacceptable and I would drop my seasons tickets if I had them.
The commonenenest knowledge in the world. We didn't pay a dude 55 effing million effing dollars to come off the bench. Eff that.
It's obvious he'll be traded for someone who can fill the void at the center position, Chandler or Kaman are the first that come to mind. Also, is it possible to trade CV for Bosh?
Yea, Joe has made some questionable moves lately, but I don't think there is any way possible he could rationalize paying a guy that much money to come off the bench. He's not going to create the same problem as last year when the coach had to "disrespect" one of his main players, by benching them during crunch time. Rip has played his last game as a Piston, and Joe already has something lined up.
As much as I would love that, no.
Hey everyone, how about a Rip/Tay for Okafor/G. Wallace + May (filler) swap ? I know it's a long shot, but that would be sweet. Charlotte gets a huge upgrade at SG, and trades an ironman SF for an often injured one. Plus, LB would love to be reunited with two members of the 2004 team. And the Bobcats would have some cash to spend in 2011 when Tay expires. They become Augustin/Rip/tay/Diaw/Nazr. A team like that has a good chance to grab a playoff spot in the East. We become Stuckey/Bynum Gordon/Afflalo Wallace/Summers Villanueva/Max Okafor/Kwame Solid 10 man rotation. Okafor and Wallace would compensate some of the defensive weaknesses of the other 3 starters and the offense would be good enough. And maybe Joe D could hire Jim Calhoun to coach that All-Huskies team
i do that deal without thinking twice. Not sure that Charlotte does thought.
Separate names with a comma.

Term: Mike Harris
Harris, Mike: Mike Harris (North Wales) is a direct recipient of the branch of the Western Mystery Tradition that comes, via Dion Fortune and Gareth Knight, from the nineteenth century Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Gareth Knight was trained in the Society of the Inner Light, which was founded by Dion Fortune following her own Golden Dawn training. He founded his own Lodge (known outwardly as The Gareth Knight Group) in the early 1970s. Mike was one of the original members of that Lodge, which was later joined by Wendy Berg. Mike was also a member of the original Company of Hawkwood, that loose-knit but influential magical association that was convened and presided over by Knight in the early 1980s. Members of that Company came to comprise the foremost practitioners and commentators of the present generation of initiates of the Western Mystery Tradition, including Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki, R.J Stewart, Marion Green, and John and Caitlin Matthews amongst its number.
He is the co-author of Polarity Magic.

While a man is engaging in intercourse with a female, preferably from behind, right before ejaculation he proceeds to raise his hand victoriously above is head and while screaming "PULL" slaps the woman's ass with fury. As she runs in excrutiating pain, the main proceeds to ejaculate with incredible force in an attempt to knock the woman over. On every upstroke he makes a shotgun cocking sound effect and on every down stroke, a gun fire sound effect.

text: Not sure if this was previously done but thought i might throw some knowledge at you guys This is a 2002 Silverado so the adhesives have had a good amount of time to set in...lol Supplies Used 1. Astro 400E Smart Eraser Pad-10.00 (BOUGHT FROM NAPA) 2. Strong Fishing Line 3. Abrasive Compound I chose Turtle Wax Polishing Compound-3.00 4. Old Drill 5. Gloves Sorry I had already removed the badges before I decided to do this How To Tutorial so I will start with the molding which is the same removal just a bigger task I began by using fishing line to "saw" away at the adhesive tape on the molding *Tip* make sure you use a strong line mine was very brittle and became so what annoying...lol *Tip* Unlike the badges the molding is stronger so once I had it removed about 6 inches with fishing line I could grab the molding and pull it the rest of the way off. Once the molding was removed I used the Eraser Wheel to remove the tape left behind *Tip* I bought two wheels but was able to remove badges and molding with one they last awhile *Tip* The Eraser Wheel is actually made to fit on another tool but the stud is long enough on the back to fit in a drill As you can see the Eraser Wheel removes the adhesive very well and fairly quickly I can imagine how long this would take using Goo Gone..lol The Eraser Wheel leaves a residue behind that is majorly cleaned off by soap and water. After "erasing" the adhesive I washed the area with soap and water very good then I used the turtle wax compound to remove the excess smudges and wax the area As you can see the 1500 emblem and molding is removed. This complete job took a better half of my day to do but I like it and think it was worth it. HOPE THIS WILL HELP YOU GUYS

My warré is built with 1.5"/38mm wood. I'm planning to leave them with 3 boxes, 1 of which has a covered window.
Is it worth it trying to wrap with tar paper around the handles/window latches, or would you think the extra wood thickness would be good enough?
Last year we had a pretty mild winter but average winter temps for my area go down to about -5c.


text: The Bobcats have Boris Diaw on the trading block. He doesn't fit in the teams plans and has been removed from the starting line up. While inconsistent at times Diaw can fill up a stat sheet. I would be ringing the Bobcats phone off the hook trying to make a deal. While Diaw is not going to be a savior the guy is a playmaker and can play 3 positions on the court. Besides that his contract is an expiring deal. We take a test drive if we don't like what we see we can just let him go. Daye needs to play and going to the Bobcats may be the best thing for him where he can get more minutes and doesn't have to compete with Tay and JJ at SF.

An Interview with Banshee's Showrunner Greg Yaitanes

Greg Yaitanes pushes the envelope on TV and in media.

With the always-expanding range of CGI and special effects, it's refreshing to see something real. But in the case of the Cinemax series Banshee, "real" just doesn't seem to cut it. Now coming to the end of its second season, the show delivers some of the most cringe-worthy, jaw-dropping fight scenes on TV, all surrounded by a story and characters that draw you in from the pilot…which actually isn't the pilot. Don't worry, you'll understand soon enough. If you haven't jumped onboard yet, get to it!
We recently spoke with Banshee showrunner Greg Yaitanes (House, Lost, Heroes) about the upcoming Banshee finale (Friday, March 14 at 10 P.M. on Cinemax), how it came about and his ingenious ideas that helped him get to work on the show he wanted so badly.
Playboy.com: Banshee may be one of the most intense shows I've ever seen. It's dark, it's gritty, the fight scenes make you cringe…almost as if the violence itself is a character. Was that the idea from the start?
Greg Yaitanes: I'm really thrilled to hear that! We pictured all of that early on. We made a change in our stunt team at about the third episode in because we wanted to really up the ante. I remember when I interviewed Marcus Young, he asked, "How far can I take this?" I told him I wanted to go all out. I said, "You go as far as you're willing to go, and I'll pull you back." I don't think there's any better demonstration of that than the upcoming season finale. I'm so excited.
Playboy.com: I know this is going back some time, but how did the show initially come to you?
Yaitanes: At the time, I was executive producing House. It was the last season of the show and I was looking for my next project. I had seen some things along the road that I liked but I just wasn't able to work on with my House schedule. I knew Alan Ball was doing a project with Cinemax. I was constantly stalking this project and its progress along the way. I didn't know Jonathan [Tropper] and David [Schickler] at the time, but I knew I wanted to get out of network and move to cable. When I first started meeting about the show I went through a series of meetings…totally different than network. With HBO, it's like, "Okay, we've got 10,000 Emmys. What else you got?" [laughs]
What I did for the meeting was create a trailer for Banshee out of other movies. I used it as a pitch video for what was in my head. I think that worked to my benefit because I was giving them a tangible way to see how I wanted the show to go. It was a great opportunity for me. Also, I had a very out-of-the-box concept for shooting season one. Normally, you shoot the pilot episode first. I actually shot episode four as the pilot. If people go back and watch, they'll see that it's totally out of sequence.
Playboy.com: That's an ingenious idea. What made you do that?
Yaitanes: I've directed pilots and I often find that they're the worst episode of the series. So I thought, the best chance I could give it was bury it in the middle of shooting. Maybe by the fourth episode the audience would grab on and move with it. By doing it that way, I didn't have to worry so much about making everything perfect. It allowed for the characters to settle in and for us all to find the groove of the show. And when we got around to shooting the first episode of the series, things ran very smoothly.
Playboy.com: The thing I love about Banshee is that the main character is an antagonist being a protagonist. The con being the cop is an interesting concept. As the showrunner, how do you see Lucas Hood?
Yaitanes: I think Lucas somehow represents Banshee in that we're not all good and we're not all bad. I don't put him in a box. Ultimately, the thing that makes him represent us all is that he's human. We all experience things in our lives; we all have secrets and experience certain psychological mishaps. Family, responsibility, love, life…we all experience these things.
As much as Banshee is an action-packed adult drama, I feel it is an outer shell to the inner core of a coming-of-age story.
Playboy.com: Because season one was so successful and intense, I imagine there was a fear of how to top it.
Yaitanes: I was very protective of not having that conversation, the "how do we top this" conversation. I really pushed Jonathan, David and I to get into a room to figure out what season two would be before season one had ever aired. We did season one and immediately talked about season two. I did that because I did not want us to be swayed by fan reaction. I didn't want it to confuse the purity of our process. Season two was created about two or so weeks after season one had finished shooting. I think that allowed us to come up with a structure. To us, it's never about topping season one. It's about keeping the momentum of season one. If everything plays right, the opening of season two should just feel like the 11th episode of season one.
I think once you start thinking of how to "outdo" yourself, you're setting up for failure. It's the death of the show.
Playboy.com: If you have the storyline laid out, does any hype or criticism the show gets during the season make you think to change something?
Yaitanes: I think we're very careful. We came out of the gate with a show that is for the fans. If they love what we do, they'll love it all the way through and follow the show. They want us to go out of the box and be fearless. I do wonder if we would have been as fearless if we did look at the reactions for season one, but I think that can cause a lot of paralysis.
Playboy.com: I think the way you laid it out allows you to tell the story you want to tell.
Yaitanes: Exactly! And the fans have been incredibly supportive of that. We know where the show is going to go. We know what we want; we just may take a few side roads to get there. I think when people see this season's finale, everything we've been doing is going to make sense. I can't tell you how excited I am for the fans to see!
Playboy.com: Lucas Hood is sort of a moving target. So many people are out to get him. Any turned corner can have a bad outcome. What do you think is his ultimate goal?
Yaitanes: I think we hit on something in episode six of this year, asking, "Can we evolve? Can we change?"That is not the Lucas Hood we met in the pilot. He has had a rapid evolution. What defines him is something out of his grasp, I think.
Playboy.com: Tell me about the Banshee Origins.
Yaitanes: When I first pitched the show, maybe at the very first pitch meeting, I said something I didn't even understand myself, but I remember saying, "With the budget you give me for 10 episodes, I can deliver an 11th episode." They didn't know what that meant, I didn't know what that meant, but I knew I wanted to do more.
Sometimes, in film and television, there's one line that has major storytelling potential. For us, it was when Carrie says, "You don't know how many times in 15 years I came to the gates of the prison and didn't go in." I equate it to a line in the first Star Wars film when Luke says to Obi-Wan Kenobi, "You fought with my father in the Clone Wars?" It has such potential, and I couldn't help but think, "Wouldn't it be cool if we took Carrie and saw why she didn't go through the gates at different times?" With that, we created these backstories for everyone, things that led up to the moment that Lucas Hood came to town.
You can obviously get by without these, but they add such an aha moment. People who watch the origin stories and then watch the show will be like, "Oh shit!" I think things will tie together nicely, especially when this season's finale hits. I really think people will relish the finale even more if they go over to WelcometoBanshee.com before it airs and watch the origin stories. I'm super excited for it!
The Banshee finale airs Friday, March 14 at 10 P.M. on Cinemax.
