text: Copper Comment 20th Jan 2011 Market Moves Staff in Commodities News 20 Jan 2011 0 share Share Tweet Email Share March copper futures traded at $4.334 per pound on Thursday, down from Wednesday's high of $4.6675. The World Bureau of Metal Statistics on Wednesday reported a deficit in global copper supplies for the first 11 months of 2010. That compares to a surplus of 276,000 for the same period in 2009, however arguably this was during the fallout of the global financial crisis, when demand sharply slumped. The price of copper has accelerated to new highs on anticipation that demand from China will lead to further shortfalls in global supply. However, China's robust economic growth is becoming its own curse, as investors interpret stronger growth as a signal that officials will need to apply the economic breaks to prevent overheating. This led to a further pull-back in copper prices on Thursday, after China reported GDP growth of 9.8% in the fourth quarter of 2010. While risk sentiment does play a part in short-term movements in copper prices, ultimately the metal is a play on growth, as it is used extensively in construction and electrical goods. Europe's biggest copper smelter, Aurubis, foresees heightened copper demand from China as they push to upgrade the rural power grid. Therefore if China continues to expand near its current pace, and the US recovery begins to take hold, then the price of copper will rise further, on expectations of stronger global demand. Investors should be wary, however, as copper is a very volatile commodity. Sharp pull-backs in the price are not uncommon in response to adverse economic data. Policy tightening in China can trigger a sell-off, in addition to general risk appetite waning in the marketplace. These pull-backs may present a good buying opportunity for copper, as prices tend to recover quickly and resume their general trend higher. Based on copper seasonality, prices may continue to rise steadily until the second quarter, before facing a correction heading into summer.

Tim Thomas was far-and-away the top goaltender in the NHL a season ago. This year, he will be fighting for playing time.
Boston coach Claude Julien said Tuesday that the Bruins have two No. 1 goalies and will start the season with Thomas and Tuukka Rask splitting time between the pipes.
Julien also said the team will ride the hot hand if one of the goalies is having a superior campaign.
Thomas had a storybook campaign last year, winning the Vezina Trophy, the Conn Smyth Trophy and the Stanley Cup despite opening the season second on the depth chart.
Thomas posted 35 wins in 55 starts with a 2.00 goals-against average and .938 save percentage. He then posted four playoff shutouts, including two against Vancouver in the finals.

The Snap-Back Rally Snapped Yesterday, But There's Hope Today - Markets This Morning
- Stocks started the day sharply higher, but a wave of selling in the last hour sent them down over 1%.
- Big tech stocks held up well, big international stocks took it hard.
- China's easing moves were praised, but were its computers behind the late-day selling?
Stock Markets See Hope But End Down Finally
After spending most of the day up by nearly 2%, U.S. stocks were hit by a flood of sell orders in the last hour that put them down for the day. The opening was as ferocious on the buy side as the previous morning had been on the sell side, with the NASDAQ up 3.5% within minutes of opening at 9:30 AM.
But there was little enthusiasm on the buy side, and the imbalance of sell orders – as much as $3.5 billion worth by one estimate – told in the end. The Dow lost 204.91 or 1.29% to finish at 15,666, the S&P 500 lost 25.60 or 1.35%, and the NASDAQ finished down 19.79 or 0.44% to finish at 4,506. The Volatility Index or VIX, which measures nervousness in the market, finished at 36.02, up from the 31 level where it started the day and the highest level it's hit since September, 2011.
The biggest losers were international companies like United Technologies (NYSE:UTX), down 2.07 to finish at $88.80, General Electric (NYSE:GE), down 59 cents to finish at $23.48, down 2.47%, and Merck (NYSE:MRK), down $2.84 or 5.26% to finish at $51.16.
Blame the Computers For The Stock Market Fall
Big tech held its own. Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) managed to finish up 62 cents to $103.74, Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) was up $3 at $466.37, and Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) was up $4.64 to finish at $101.52. There was a lot of re-adjustment here after markets closed, with Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) going up $7.41/share after finishing the day down $5.64 at $612.47, and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) quickly gaining 15 cents after losing $1.21 during regular trading to finish at $40.47.
But computerized trading took much of the blame for the market's fall. The flood of sell orders came in starting at 3 PM, after individual traders have finished their business, and kept accelerating into the close. Were these Chinese buyers sitting on fat losses who needed to sell U.S. assets to pay back margin loans?
China Cuts Interest Rate And Reserve Ratio - The Big Move
Until the last hour, the day's big news had been China's big move toward easier money. After the Shanghai Composite fell a whopping 8.06%, China cut discount rates and reserve requirements, making lending easier. The move was praised as a "measured response" by observers and seemed at first to reassure U.S. investors.
The Chinese move led to some strong gains in Europe, 4.97% in the German DAX and 3.09% in the English FTSE 100. Maybe it was foreshadowing that the French CAC 40 finished down 1.35%? A lot of French companies do big business in China.
Oil was up a little bit, with West Texas Intermediate rising 53 cents to $38.83, Brent crude rising 27 cents to $42.96, and natural gas rising 4 cents to $2.69/mcf. Better than before, but still well below a price at which U.S. producers can make money.
How is the Economy?
There were more indications that the stock market action has little to do with the current state of the U.S. economy. Consumer confidence rose sharply. Bond prices rose, dropping yields, with the 10-year U.S. bond finishing at 2.08%. The dollar generally rose in value, with the dollar index finishing at over 94 . The dollar finished up against the Euro at $1.15, higher against the Japanese Yen at 119, higher against the Chinese Yuan at 6.41.
So What Happens In The Markets Today?
China, China, China. Traders walked away from their jobs in a more depressed state than they had the day before, having expected a rally and seeing it fail. There have been expectations of a rally in the markets, but it hasn't materialized. Where a few days before there was talk of "maybe" taking a September rate hike by the Federal Reserve off the table, they were left wondering if more Quantitative Easing might be coming to match China's own easing.
The real lesson of today, in my view, is that we're one global market. When people lose money in one market, they try to get it out of other markets. When governments act on one side of the world, it's quickly felt on the other side of the world. We are all hostage to one another, and to a lot of U.S. investors that's very, very frightening.

Israel-based SodaStream (SODA) has been a case study in how to make money despite volatility.
In his book "The Successful Investor," IBD Chairman and founder William J. O'Neil suggested that in many cases investors should take profits when a stock rises 20% to 25% from a breakout.
This lets investors keep a 3-1 profits-to-losses ratio, should they have to sell a stock that falls 7% to 8% below the buy point.
SodaStream broke out of a cup-with-handle pattern Dec. 17. The stock cleared a 43.10 entry in volume 170% above average.
Previous SodaStream consolidations had been somewhat loose, and buyers had to be ready for some turbulence. They got it.
Four sessions after the breakout, SodaStream fell 6% below the ideal buy point. However, the stock also staged a positive reversal that day, closing 2% below the entry. That gave the recent buyers some breathing room.
SodaStream began to advance the next day. The stock hit the 20% profit level Jan. 22, about five weeks after the breakout.
Investors who took profits at 20% didn't sell at the peak, which offered a 25% profit Jan. 25.
IBD-style investing isn't about selling at the high. The strategies are about using the odds to book consistent profits. Over time, this will do more good than occasionally picking the peak.
After the peak, SodaStream began to consolidate. The stock formed a flat base. SodaStream popped above the 54.09 entry April 11 in 68% faster volume. However, the stock reversed that day to close three pennies below the buy point.
This wasn't an ideal breakout. The stock chopped around for several weeks and triggered the 8% sell rule May 8.
It's possible to buy back a failed breakout if the stock retakes the 50-day line or the buy point in big trade. SodaStream did each successively on May 8 and 9.
Note that the positive action at the 50-day line occurred the same day the stock earlier triggered the 8% sell rule. Sometimes that happens.
Whether investors bought back at the May 8 close or the recrossing of the buy point, the stock rose 20% in less than three weeks. This triggered another IBD rule — to hold a stock at least eight weeks if it rallies 20% from its buy point within three weeks.
This is week No. 8. With the market in correction, watch the 10-week line carefully.

Shiver Me Timbers.
Elis Clark is a teenage boy like no other, he is *dramtic pause* ... a pirate *dun dun dun* - well, in his dreams. A pirate like no other... Which is because he isn't really a pirate...
'I'm so tall, I'm so tall, raise me and then you let me fall.
I'm so small, I'm so small
wrap me round your finger-'
"ELIS! Stop playin' that crap, 'n' get out there!" His uncle yells at him, his pudgy finger on the Stop button, he spits slightly as he yells. He's wearing; his waistcoat that is dark grey with thin white pin-stripes; a puffy cream shirt with laces linking across loosely, making his stomach seem less inflated; black and white checkered pantaloons, which finish just - literally just - below his thick knees; shiny black shoes with brass buckles sitting snug-as-a-bug-in-a-rug on the top, his feet seem to only just cram inside; he has long white socks stopping just before meeting with the hem of the pantaloons showing off his lobster red sunburnt, hairy legs that bulge slightly.
Elis blinks and shakes his head, only to see his uncle - red in his flabby face - glaring down at him, his right eye busting out, his lips in a thin snarling line. His chin wobbles as his mouth slaps open and closed, flinging spit at him and his 'room'.
He wears; blood red shorts - too short for his thighs - which show off his pale hairy legs, and the colour of the shorts makes his legs lobster like (after it had been cooked of course, uncooked and they are blue...); a baggy white t-shirt with a tinge of yellow around the neck and under the armpits, urg; and finally, he has white ankle socks with a black rim around the top and they are inside sandals.
Well done, Uncle Fred, be the typical British tourist with the socks and sandals. Well done, you make me proud. Elis knows that he should be happy that they took him in when he was a young boy... But, he has always had that feeling that he should be, elsewhere...
After watching Pirates of the Caribbean, he knew. He had to be a pirate. Why else would his parents leave him, other than to sale the world?
"Are you listening to me, boy?" Uncle Frank spits in his eye.
Elis blinks and wipes it out, "Truthfully? No. You're boring me, and I am tired."
"Whaaat?! How are you speak to me like that, boy. Be gone! Go to the Punishment room. Go, now!"
Typical, Uncle Fredrick, letting his temper get to him whenever Elis listens to some old music. Elis sighs mournfully and trots to the cellar - the 'punishment' room. Elis opens the door and locks it behind him. He moves over to the cabinet and pulls out his secret chocolate stash, mmm, chocolate.

Why B.C.'s New Water 'Sustainability' Act Won't Wash
The Council of Canadians is opposed to Bill 18, British Columbia's Water Sustainability Act.
The Vancouver Sun reports, "Starting next January, communities and companies that tap British Columbia aquifers will have to start paying the province for the water they're using. ...Environment Minister Mary Polak unveiled new water rental rates last week that will be applied when the new Water Sustainability Act comes into force next year, and will apply to groundwater users for the first time."
The article highlights, "The rate works out to about $5.63 for the amount of water to fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool. Nestlé, at the time of B.C.'s consultations over revising its 100-year-old Water Act, was annually bottling some 250 million litres of water without being charged. At the new rates, that would cost $562 in fees." Not surprisingly, Nestlé Waters thinks the new act is fair.
And the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers thinks the new rates are "equitable" for British Columbia's oil and gas sector. Keep in mind that the fracking for just five of the proposed Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) terminals in the province would require an estimated 582 billion litres of water.
In 2013, the Council of Canadians demanded that the new Water Sustainability Act:
- recognize water as a human right
- reaffirm water as a public trust that belongs to people and cannot be privately owned or controlled
- create an approval process for groundwater withdrawals that includes public consultation, incorporates community input into the final decision, and respects a community's right to say "no" to projects that abuse or pollute water
- include strict pollution controls, strong conservation regulations and stringent monitoring
- ensure a process to revoke permits where industries are polluting or abusing water
- charge industry proper fees for their use of raw and municipal water takings
- recognize Indigenous title and jurisdiction to watersheds as well as secure free, prior and informed consent protocols within the Water Act alongside policies to monitor and sustain groundwater.
For an excellent analysis of how Bill 18 falls short of these critical principles, please see British Columbia-Yukon organizer Leila Darwish's blog Does BC's New Water Sustainability Act Sink or Swim?
The Council of Canadians will continue to press the British Columbia government of Premier Christy Clark to respect these fundamental principles of water justice.
The issue: Who would have thought that being a fashionista could take such a toll on the environment? Unfortunately, according to the Indian Textile Journal, the textile industry is one of the biggest creators of wastewater worldwide. The EPA claims that it takes 2,900 gallons of water to produce one pair of jeans. Most of the water is used in the "wet processing" and dyeing of materials. The fix: The industry itself is making strides in cutting down their waste. According to the New York Times, companies are using innovative measures to combat wastewater, such as AirDye technology and counter-current rinsing. Still, there is a long way to go. One way that you can cut down on textile waste is to reuse and recycle. Need a pair of jeans? Check out Goodwill, or a nearby consignment shop. Want a bright red shirt? Buy a dye-free light material, and color the shirt yourself.
The issue: For those who live through tortuous summer heat, nothing can beat a refreshing, chlorinated backyard pool. But sadly, this high-temp weather respite can be a source of major water loss. Besides the amount of water initially needed to fill a pool, cement cracks and evaporation can lead to almost double the original amount of water being used. According to the National Leak Foundation of Mesa, 30% of pools have leaks in them, many of which go unnoticed due to an automatic refilling mechanism. In addition, evaporation is a major problem in arid environments (like the Southwest). During the hottest summer days in the driest climates, a 400 square foot surface area pool can lose over 2,500 gallons of water in one month! The fix: The best plan is to forgo the private pool in favor of a public one at a park or private club. If you do want to keep your backyard pool, make sure to check carefully for leaks in your liner and cracks underwater. In addition, always put a cover on when it's not being used, even (especially!) in the summer.
The issue: Although Las Vegas may be known as a hub of vice, water waste is a lesser known evil. In fact, just living in the Nevada city means you are using way more water than the average consumer. This isn't personal: due to the hot and arid climate, evaporation is a major concern in Southwestern cities. Vegas in particular is home to a number of golf courses and luxury resorts, where a large quantity of water is needed to keep the grounds green and tidy. According to the Southern Nevada Water Authority, water laws in Nevada include a restriction in lawn size, and assigned-day watering. The fix: Embrace the desert flora. Instead of working tirelessly for thirsty-looking front yard grass, Nevadans can landscape around their homes with cacti and other desert shrubbery. If giving up green is not the way you want to go, astro-turf or other grass substitutes are easy, affordable, and low maintenance options. According to the EPA, replacing grass with artificial turf will save you 2/3 of regular lawn water use. In addition, indoor potted plants and herbs can add to kitchen ambiance.

The issue: Meat production is a controversial industry, and not only because of its animal treatment record. According to a UNESCO Institute for Water Education Study conducted between 1996-2005, "29% of the total water footprint of the agricultural sector in the world is related to the production of animal products." One third of that is related to cattle production, according to the study. "The water footprint of any animal product is larger than the water footprint of a wisely chosen crop product with equivalent nutritional value," the study states. The fix: Consider cutting down on your meat consumption (check out our "Meatless Monday" page!). According to the aforementioned UNESCO study, "managing the demand for animal products by promoting a dietary shift away from a meat-rich diet will be an inevitable component in the environmental policy of government."
The issue: In an effort to go as enviro-friendly as possible, you have made the switch in your refueling routine to a corn ethanol blend called E85 instead of pure gasoline in your car. Sure, it has some drawbacks (as you can see here) but it's better in many ways than regular gas... right? Unfortunately, corn ethanol's high water consumption makes it a controversial energy alternative. According to the National Academies Press, one gallon of corn ethanol requires four to seven gallons of water for production, while petroleum refinement requires about only 1.5 gallons of water for one gallon of gasoline. E85 also provides "about 30 percent less fuel economy" than ordinary gasoline, according to Mother Earth News. The fix: If you can afford it, invest in a hybrid. According to this UNESCO study, bio-electricity is the most water-efficient form of transport. But is the Chevy Volt not exactly in your price range? Many people still think that the pros of biofuels outweigh the cons, especially if you use your car in moderation. Try to limit your driving time by walking, carpooling, or taking public transportation.
The issue: Opening up the toilet lid and seeing a tank full of unflushed pee isn't pleasant. Not flushing, however, is a minor offense in contrast to actually doing it. According to Networx, it takes 1.6 gallons of water to flush a mere 10 ounces of urine, rendering perfectly good water undrinkable. Since the average person pees six times per day, you are using about 2,774 gallons of water every year. The fix: Unless you poop, don't flush as frequently.

The issue: In 2008, a scandal erupted around Starbucks' water use. After a customer spotted a running faucet, she asked the barista why it was left on. "That's just what we are supposed to do," she replied. Starbucks' "dipping wells," as these streams of water were called, wasted 6 million gallons of water per day. While they have since drastically decreased their water use by 21.6%, it still means the company uses about 4,704,000 gallons of water per day. The fix: The Sierra Club says that coffee production has a much lower water-footprint than tea, so no need to forgo your joe altogether. Instead, the Daily Green suggests brewing your own java, and of that only the amount you think you'll drink. In addition, buying local coffee saves on water lost during transport, according to TapIt.com. Extra points for using a filterless (and non-electric) French press, reusable travel mug, and coffee in recyclable containers or jars! Flickr image courtesy of bfishadow
The issue: When shopping for fruits and veggies at the grocery store versus the local farmers market, many people can only see two differences: the price and the convenience of a grocery store. However, farming uses up a significant amount of available fresh water. According to Wired Magazine, farmers are responsible for 70% of the world's water consumption, and most of it is not going to good use. Wasteful irrigation systems, overly-dry land that needs an abundance of water, and a lack of efficiency are at the root (pun intended) of the problem. The fix: Go local or go home. Some smaller farms are trying new, water sustainable methods to grow their crops. Look up your local farms here, and contact them to see if they utilize these water sustainable technologies for farmers mentioned in the New York Times. And, of course, home-grown produce is not only water-friendly, but can be cheaper and much, much tastier!
The issue: Contrary to the conservationist's assumption, a dishwasher can actually be more water and energy efficient than washing dishes by hand, says Treehugger.com. However, this is only true when the dishwasher is run once it is full. Many people, especially those who live alone or with one another person, do not think twice about running a half full, or even a quarter full, dishwasher; it is simply one of those daily chores everyone does. But for a non-Energy Saver dishwasher, which according to the Energy Saver website uses about 6-7 gallons per load, those gallons add up when you are only washing for one. The fix: Only run the dishwasher once you have enough dishes to fill it. If leaving dirty dishes unwashed makes you feel icky, use a damp cloth to wipe off plates before leaving them in the washer.
The issue: Who knew that the structure of your washing machine says so much about your water footprint? According to Networx, front-loading washing machines are often more energy and water efficient than top loading machines. Although the front loading machines still use 20 gallons of water per cycle, National Geographic claims that top-loaders use twice that amount! The fix: Get yourself a front loading washer.
Water is one of the fundamental requirements of life but as the population increases, it is becoming harder to use. This special from Green TV looks at how the sourcing of water is becoming a political problem and how the fight for life is becoming literal.

The God Engines (edition 2009)
by John Scalzi
Work details
The God Engines by John Scalzi
No current Talk conversations about this book.
A nice change of pace fantasy novella from a sci-fi author.
This is a quick read by one of my favorite contemporary science fiction writers, but it's not science fiction. It's a space fantasy. At only 136 pages in hard cover, it can be easily read on a rainy afternoon, which is what I did. It is set in a universe in which gods have replaced science. Things people once did for themselves using technology have become the purview of gods. If you want to communicate across distances (like radio), you pray for it to happen. If you wish to travel to another planet, you compel a god imprisoned by your god to move your starship. Everything on the starships, communication, life support, engines... is god-powered. Nothing happens without the direct intervention of some god, and they are not doing it to be magnanimous. The gods do not serve man. Man serves them in their competition with other gods for believers and the faith that gives them power.
This book differs much from everything else I've read by John Scalzi. In addition to being fantasy rather than science fiction, it's darker. The characters lack the ineffable charm that I've come to expect from Scalzi's creations and there are few if any smiles invoked by the book. It includes a fairly detailed sex scene and graphic violence. I imagine it is intended as a social commentary but I can't say the message it is trying to convey was clear to me.
I thoroughly enjoyed many of Scalzi's other works including his 'Old Man Goes to War' series and 'Fuzzy Nation.' I've ordered 'Redshirts' and eagerly await its arrival. I can't honestly say I enjoyed this particular story much, but the setting and characters were interesting, and the art between the chapters of the hard cover edition are a nice addition. It kept me reading, but I much prefer Scalzi's science fiction.
Apparently Scalzi's first attempt at a fantasy novel. It still feels a bit sf--the characters fly in spaceships to distant worlds. But the spaceships are powered by the torture of gods.
Generations ago, the One True God rose to power. Ever since, the remaining gods have been enslaved by the True God's followers to power their technology. But pockets of resistance remain...
Scalzi manages to pack a great deal into 136 pages--I felt like I knew the captain and his society well, and I was interested in his odd relationship with his ship's enslaved god. I think if this book had been longer the twist at the end would have felt even more like a gut-punch, but as it was, it still left me nearly breathless. Definitely worth a read.
Showcasing a very different side of Scalzi, there is no comedy in this short science fiction tale filled with hints of fantasy. On a ship powered by a chained and tortured god, in an empire controlled by a god who subjugates and harms other gods, something is finally beginning to change. Gods in the ships are becoming more volatile, threatening, and the captain whom this tale focuses around, though certain he is strong in his faith, is about to discover the horrible secrets which have been wiped from his people's past, the truth about his god, and the plans that the god powering his ship works to bring to fruition.
The God Engines is entertaining because of its strong characters and shifting conflicts. The first pages introduce Tephe (the ship's captain) arguing with Andso (the ship's priest), who manages the ship's engine (a captive god). The god doesn't like being captive, so he's been killing people, and Tephe doesn't trust Andso to do his job, so Tephe disciplines the god himself. Since I saw Tephe immediately taking charge and putting down rebellion from both the god and the priest, I wanted to read more about him.
Other characters enter: Tephe's female confidant (head of the ship's sex therapists), the Bishops of Tephe's church, and Tephe's God Himself. The Bishops send Tephe to a hidden planet to evangelize the natives, promising that Tephe will be promoted to a desk job after he gets back. Tephe, however, would prefer to keep his ship.
In a very short time, the relationships among these six characters shift through submission, subversion, alliance, and dominance. The shifts are believable and never feel rushed. It all ends with a deus ex machina, but what better way to end a story called The God Engines?

Miguel Rodriguez Torres told a press conference that the suspects had connections with extreme right-wing groups that launched a wave of violent protests starting in February, leaving 41 people dead and hundreds injured, Xinhua reported.
"So far we have 58 foreign detainees almost all of them implicated in the use of weapons," Rodriguez said, adding it was usual that such anti-government movements involved recruiting mercenaries.
Some of the suspects have ties to former Colombia President Alvaro Uribe, said Rodriguez.
He accused Uribe of being involved in a meticulous plan to spark the unrest and bring down President Nicolas Maduro.
Opposition protesters denied any foreign interference, saying the protests were born out of frustration with Venezuela's grim economic problems.

Can I get depressor septi muscle released in a standalone procedure after rhinoplasty?
I had a rhinoplasty 7 months ago to reduce my large hump and do some tip work. I'm happy with the nose overall, but the tip seems to drop now when I smile or pucker (it did so a little before the rhinoplasty, but now it's more obvious). I'm quite happy with the nose at rest and really do not want to deal with the time, expense, and discomfort associated with a full revision. Could I possibly get the depressor septi muscle severed in a standalone procedure without the need for a full revision?
Doctor Answers 1
Droopy tip - what to do
Great question. I would suggest trying botox to the depressor, which will simulate cutting the depressor. If you like the effect, then consider surgery. Additionally, it is possible that a touch of botox to the depressor will allow the tip to heal in a more elevated position. Best of luck from Manhattan.

More than 50 neighbours invaded Jane Seymour's country manor today in a protest against all-night parties in their idyllic valley.
The former Bond girl, 56, upset residents after she successfully applied for a 24-hour alcohol and entertainment licence at her St Catherine's Court home, near Bath.
Scroll down for more ...
But Live And Let Die star Seymour was nowhere to be seen as neighbours marched through the £5million estate to hand over a petition.
Instead they were greeted by the estate's manager - Hein van Vorstenbosch - who offered them tea and coffee, served by Seymour's butler.
In a heated exchange on the manor steps, local Alan Randall told Mr Vorstenbosch that Seymour had ignored the wishes of all her neighbours.
Scroll down for more ...
Protesters say delivery vans and lorries have begun clogging up the single-track lane near the mansion since the licence was agreed in June and concerns have been voiced over the safety and legality of Seymour's business venture.
Mr Randall said: "The disruption in the valley has been ridiculous - the excess traffic, the noise, it is all unbearable.
"We are pleased she has spent £3 million refurbishing the estate but we do not think the area should be exploited as a party venue.
"It is not a personal vendetta - but we are very annoyed."
Scroll down for more ...
As Mr Vorstenbosch claimed only two parties had been held at the estate over the past year, another neighbour yelled: "We've heard it all before."
In a statement, Mr Vorstenbosch said: "We do have a 24-hour licence but this simply allows us to serve drinks at breakfast, wine with meals, a beer at 3am when an American game is on satellite, or musical entertainment whenever our guests require it.
"The last large event held at the court was to celebrate Jane's mother's birthday, three years ago."
He added: "We have offered the neighbour hot drinks because this is a storm in a tea cup."
Before handing over the petition of 200 signatures, a Land Rover playing brass music through a loudspeaker led a slow precession through the rural St Catherine valley.
Scroll down for more ...
Schoolchildren, business workers and elderly pensioners from neighbouring homes joined the march, which was policed by two officers.
Claudia Legge, 18, who grew up in the hamlet, said: "I think Jane Seymour and her family have been very arrogant.
"We all spend a lot more time around here and many of us have lived here since birth. What right have they got to ruin it all for us?"
An appeal against the licence is currently being processed by Bath magistrates.
Scroll down for more ...
Villagers say Bath and North East Somerset Council failed to listen to concerns about public nuisance and public safety when granting the licence earlier this year.
As part of the legal action, council officers are investigating if the property needs planning permission for change of use to operate commercially as a venue.
The actress and her director husband James Keach, 59, bought St Catherine's Court for £350,000 in 1984 after shooting the television film Jamaica Inn.
The couple live there for three months of the year and rent out the property for private functions.

I had the idea to make these as I love the 'Heck' smoky paprika sausages and thought they would make a lovely Scotch Egg. I don't use anything to replace the breadcrumb coating as I don't think you really need it. If you really want it you can use your bread healthy extra to make some breadcrumbs.
Smoky Paprika Scotch Egg
1 pack Heck smoky paprika sausages
5 eggs (large free range)
low calorie spray oil
Place the eggs in cold water and bring to a boil slowly (I add 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda to the water as it helps the shells come off but you don't have to) Boil for 5 minutes so the yolk is only just cooked then run them under cold water until cool then remove the shells.
Take the skins off the sausages by cutting the skin down the side of the sausage and remove and discard the skins.
Take two of the sausages and squish them together .. This is the fun part :)
Place the hardboiled egg in the middle and mould the sausagemeat around the egg until it is covered. Continue until you have done them all then place them in a roasting tin lined with foil (makes it easier to clean afterwards) Spray lightly with oil.
Bake at Gas 6 /200/ 400 for 30 minutes
Makes 5 and they are 1/2 syn each.

BeschreibungThis book starts with the elementary theory of Lie groups of matrices and arrives at the definition, elementary properties, and first applications of cohomological induction, which is a recently discovered algebraic construction of group representations. Along the way it develops the computational techniques that are so important in handling Lie groups. The book is based on a one-semester course given at the State University of New York, Stony Brook in fall, 1986 to an audience having little or no background in Lie groups but interested in seeing connections among algebra, geometry, and Lie theory.These notes develop what is needed beyond a first graduate course in algebra in order to appreciate cohomological induction and to see its first consequences. Along the way one is able to study homological algebra with a significant application in mind; consequently one sees just what results in that subject are fundamental and what results are minor.

Understand Other's Differences
We all are different and unique. We all have different ways of expressing ourselves as well. So let's all do our best to be understanding of others.
I am like all of you. I am a human and I have feelings. Most of us want to be accepted by the people around us as well, and to fit in. So why do we have those people who don't understand? To me, it is simple common sense. Follow the golden rule. Treat others how you want to be treated.
We all have lead different lives from every other person that has ever lived. No one has experienced exactly the same things as anyone else. Yet there are people who still think that they have a right to pick on someone just because of their differences. What gives someone the right to judge someone else? What gives a person the right to think that they are superior to others? We are ALL equal to everyone else, and no one has the right to thin that they are better or to act like it.
Having money does not make you any better then those who don't have enough of it. Flaunting your money is stupid and makes others think of you as thinking you are superior. Yes, that means they are judging you, but that is the way the world has always been. But what if we all decided to really try to think about others as equals? What if we were welcoming towards everyone, not just the "normal" people? so what if people are different. We all know that we are all different and we all know that we should treat people equally, but why don't we? Are we afraid? I think so.
Don't be afraid of being different, or stepping up for someone who is being messed with. We all deserve a chance to live a good life and not be shoved down. Because of being seen as being "different", thousands if not millions of teenagers and others have committed suicide. Because of being bullied, students have failed their classes because they are afraid of what might happen to them after class, or after school. We ALL are trying to fit in in this world, we ALL want to be cared about and to not be alone. Don't exclude someone just because they are different from you.
What if you were the one being excluded? What if you were the one too shy to approach people for fear of rejection?
I personally am someone who has grown used to being alone. But i'm going to tell you a secret, okay? I want friends. I want to have people around me that care about me and won't judge me. I want to have at least one friend. How sad is that? I don't have a single close friend, not a single person that I can talk to when I feel sad or happy. Sure, I have people I can talk to and say hi to in the hallway, but they aren't really friends. They are just other people who want to be accepted by everyone else.
Be accepting of others. Don't judge anyone, not even in your mind. When you find that you do, remember this: We all want to be accepted. Don't be mean to others, and don't talk about them behind their backs. No one deserves to be cast out of society. Be the person who saves a life everyday. People die inside of themselves everyday because of being alone, and they continue to die every day. So stretch your hand out to those we are different and help them feel accepted and wanted.
If you are someone who has a story to share about being different and looking for acceptance, please share. WE want to hear your story, no matter what your life outside of here may be.

Gary Oldman Quotes About FathersQuotes about: Fathers
I drank for about 25 years getting over the loss of my father and I took the anger out on myself. I did a good job at beating myself up at sometimes. I don't drink anymore but my alcoholic head occasionally says different. 'Nil By Mouth' was a love letter to my father because I needed to resolve some issues in order to be able to forgive him.

The PlanMature
Blood spattered on the walls of the corridor. Jet tutted to himself, thinking about how badly the so called military angels had planned this. They had bottle-necked in the corridor, trapping themselves. They had only made themselves an easier target, they realised too late. In the end Jet killed seventeen of the twenty angels. Tristan's sobs mixed with the rattling gasps of the dying angels around them. 'Get up you useless brat.' Jet shouted, slapping Tristan with the flat of his sword. Tristan's own weapons had disappeared half way through the fight as the angel's words had sunk in. He was killing his own kind. He couldn't be on any side at all, for he would kill his own kind whichever way he chose. Jet's stony hand wrapped itself around Tristan's upper arm, pulling him to his feet. Tristan let Jet drag him back to the top of the building, but the moment the demon let go, he collapsed to the hard concrete. Jet nudged him with a foot.
'What the fuck are you doing?' Jet growled. 'You let a great fight pass you by back there. You just allowed yourself to be covered in their blood and did nothing to aid me. Useless fucking immature, insolent, unappreciative little brat!' Jet yelled, bending over the teenager. Tristan took the words in, but didn't care what they meant. He had lost everything. His father was heartless and cold, his mother had changed beyond recognition in a matter of hours and Jet was an egotistical, pigheaded prick. Though he too was under the rule of another. He was only doing what he had to, Tristan tried to tell himself. But he enjoys it.'We're going back. C'mon.' Jet said, taking flight, not waiting for Tristan to join him.
Tristan sat upon the cold stone floor, surrounded by the blood of his ancestors. Jet took off, leaving the sobbing adolescent all alone as he did so he cursed to himself. Jet's wings disappeared when he reached the demonic headquarters of New York.
"Jet, Sir." She looked over to him, thoughts of her son ran through her mind, but were dismissed almost immediately. "Sir. I have news to report." She crossed her legs, her dress sliding a little way up her thighs. "Japan." She hoped off the table, turning to point at the island. "You see, if we take Tokyo the rest of Japan will fall. To do this I suggest we make camp in the near-by town of Yokohama." She looked over to Jet, who was covered in angelic blood. She could not see wether he was listening or not but chose to continue anyway. "I also suggest, while the fight for Tokyo is ongoing we place a small group of soldiers on the island's of Hokkaido, Shikoku and Kyushu. This way there will be no resistance once the battle has been won."
She smiled, "So, what do you want me to do?" She paused, walking over to Jet. "Sir?" Her deep green eyes met his, no emotion was shared between them. Alice raised an eyebrow, looking at Jet from head to toe. He was covered in blood, the smell stung her nose, the smell of angels. She bit her lip, glancing from Tyler to Jet she wrapped her arms round Jet's neck, pulling herself closer to him. "What do you want me to do?" She whispered again in his ear. She could feel Tyler's stare burning into her. 'Good,' she thought.

Many beginner golfers wonder why they should buy shoes made specifically for the game. The answer is simple: Golf shoes are specifically designed to give players stability, balance and flexibility during the unique motion of a golf swing. If a player is slipping or sliding during the swing movement, it's harder to make good contact with the golf ball, and consequently, more difficult to produce good shots.
Since the golf swing is performed while standing still, it's necessary for golf shoes to have a broader shoe base, so the player can maintain good balance. This is the reason golf shoes tend to have a larger sole than most other athletic shoes. Running shoes, tennis shoes or shoes made for team sports do not have such a broad base because these sports require quicker or more sustained foot motion than golf does.
If you swing a club in your bare feet, you'll notice that there is far more foot action that you might have thought. Because of this, the more stability a shoe can give a player the better. Most golf shoes have built-in stabilizers along the side of the arches to help keep your feet from shifting or sliding right and left. This midfoot support is particularly important when driving the ball, because golfers end their stroke on the balls of their feet. The spikes found on most golf shoes also help keep players' feet from sliding on wet or uneven turf.
Many times golfers play on irregular, hilly ground and need to take swings on awkward slopes. This is why golf shoes are suppler and designed to be very flexible. Other types of athletic footwear, such as shoes worn for football, basketball or baseball, are made to hold a player's foot and ankle in place. But golf requires a bit of elasticity in its footwear.
If a golfer plays 18 holes and walks the course, they can cover anywhere between four to six miles. With this in mind, finding golf shoes that are comfortable for walking long distances, allow your foot to breathe a bit, and are waterproof will help your performance. Look for shoes with padded inside soles for the most comfort.
When Golf Shoes Are Not Ideal
Given all of the above, golf shoes are not the best option for every player. Those suffering from arthritis or other joint- or muscle-related illnesses may find that a pair of tennis shoes is better suited to their needs. Tennis shoes have more give in their soles, reducing the wear and tear on joints when walking several miles during the course of a round.

"I am visiting Mississippi State this weekend," said Trapp. "I am about to fly down there now for my official."
Joey's name is a new one for most Mississippi State fans and the chance to join the Bulldogs' program has come in recent weeks.
"Mississippi State got involved with me about two weeks ago," said Trapp. "They talked to me about coming out for a visit. Coach Hevesy, the O line coach, is recruiting me."
In addition to his offer from Mississippi State, Joey claims offers from Arkansas State, Eastern Kentucky, Memphis, UMASS, and Western Michigan among others.
His tender from the staff in Starkville could prove to be the one option he elects to take.
"Coach Hevesy said they need a JuCo offensive lineman to come in and start at tackle and show some leadership," said Trapp. "He says they have a lot of young guys and that they needed a guy with some maturity."
The excursion to Mississippi State will be the California products first visit to the Magnolia State and he is excited to learn more about the Bulldogs' program.
"They are in the SEC and they have a great coaching staff," said Joey. "The staff has just been there a couple of years and they are already doing some great things. They are on the rise."
Trapp is a December graduate who will have two years to play on the senior level. He took an official visit to Arkansas State last week and plans to make a decision within the next week.

Drupal Development
Why you can't have a £50k website for £20k (and similar denominations)
One of the key talking points at Drupal Camp London earlier this year was the challenge of pitching and the difficulty in providing profitable work on fixed priced projects.
It was interesting to hear one of our industry's leading peer agency's admit that historically, they lost money on 35% of all their fixed priced projects.
To alleviate this risk, another agency we spoke to has implemented a policy of not engaging in the RFP process at all.
They choose to provide a chargeable detailed design and functional specification instead. And since switching to this method, their lead to conversion rate has increased, their profitability has increased, all their projects get delivered on time, and their advocacy levels have gone through the roof.
Our role as an agency in the pitching process is to primarily to overcome two challenges:
- Fixed budgets that are allocated by finance departments as percentages of marketing spend, profit or turnover, which bear no relation to the cost required to deliver a project successfully, and..
- Overcoming the tendency for a prospect to accept the lowest price because they can't differentiate between the offerings
As a business ourselves, we fully understand the need to work with budgets.
But in the same way a fixed budget might let you fund an entry level Mercedes, but not a top level Mercedes with a bigger engine and stacks more features, so a budget you pledge to a web project may not be enough to give you all that functionality and design standard that you need to make the project a resounding success.
And success in most cases can be directly related to conversion rate performance, a subject that can produce eye-watering results.
Overcoming the tendency to accept the lowest price comes down to the challenge of helping clients understand that not all websites are created equal, despite them all being called websites.
And that in many cases, more investment will mean a superior return because the end result will convert a much higher percentage of users into leads, sales or advocates.
The anatomy of web design cost.
Web design cost is made up of two main components:
- The amount of hours required to build the project, and..
- The hourly rate of the agency
So what can a company do if they have allocated a fixed budget, defined their requirements and put it out to tender, only to find the projected costs coming back at two or three times their expectation?
Firstly, they can reduce the number of hours required to build the project
This is obvious, but no so easy to achieve.
It's true that some agency's work faster than others, Agency's that have really sorted their internal workflow out, or that may have a deeper experience in the client field, or who have the ability to reuse code can often deliver a spec for spec site up to 20% faster, which translates to a 20% reduction in cost if everything else is equal.
Reducing the level of features is another way of reducing development hours, but prospects can really struggle with this. They will frequently use phrases such as 'just' and 'only' when talking about feature requests and who can blame them? The prospect only sees the end result, not what it takes to get there.
So if you want a £50k site for £20k you'll start by trying to figure out how one agency might be able to work 20% faster than the others in your pitch pool, and that gets you down to £40k.
Then, you can try and understand how to reduce the feature set to reduce the development hours.
Wunderkraut, Europe's largest Drupal agency have a great way of articulating this:
They argue that if 100% of the feature set will represent 100% of the cost and that's too high, what if 80% of the feature set could be delivered for 50% of the cost?
That for us is a logical approach, and in many cases would deliver value for the client.
So reducing the feature set by 20% might get you your site for £25k, but if the 20% reduction is all the stuff that would really make your site fly, then caution is urged.
This is particularly relevant when it comes to conversion rate optimisation, and if that 20% of feature set or £25k of cost sees conversion rates drop from say 3% to 1%, you could be loosing hundreds of thousands of pounds of lost revenue in the first year.
Secondly, so what about reducing the man-hour rate?
Hourly or daily rates can be roughly split into five tiers. This is by no means cast in stone, but it does simplify the argument:
- Tier 1 agency – up to £3k per day
- Tier 2 agency – around £1.5k per day
- Tier 3 agency – around £700 per day
- Contractor – around £400 per day
- Offshore contractor – around £160 per day
Unfortunately, making direct comparisons based purely on agency rate is difficult:
A Tier 1 agency won't be pitching for a £50k project anyway. A Tier 2 agency will have more senior staff that will work faster than junior developers. They may also need less R&D so ultimately may be able to deliver a project in less hours.
A Tier 3 agency may on the other hand have exactly the right project specific experience and may also be able to deliver a project faster than a competing agency.
A single contractor won't have experience across all the main disciplines of creative, design, UX, architecture and development, so will only provide a cost saving if part of a wider team.
Going offshore won't deliver the same standards by a long way and in our historic experience won't offer a genuine cost saving – not when you take into account the greatly increased project management and delays for misinterpretation or reworks.
If you want a £50k site for £20k, its safe to assume you can't. Something will have to give. You'll either have to peg back your wish list of functionality, or accept lesser levels of design and development standards, or cut corners (and be aware these are being cut).
In our opinion, cutting back the functional wish list is one logical approach, because if managed correctly, you can always build this back up in the future.
Another option is to stick to the specification but build the project in two or more phases. We've had a few projects like this recently and its almost self-funding for the client. Phase One delivers an immediate sales uplift, which helps provide the budget for Phase Two and so on.
That said, the option favoured by many companies is to stick to the wish list and budget and keep going until you find an agency that will help – and there are plenty of agencies out there willing to take on a project for a relatively low budget and hope it all works out.
Unfortunately, motivations will probably wain after the thrill of the win wears off, and the chances are you will contribute to our deplorable industry statistics:
- 65% of all projects are delivered late
- Clients are disappointed and don't getting what they expected in 35% of cases, and this rises to 50% when the work goes offshore
- (Source: Aberdeen Group).
But dissuading prospects from this approach is a tough sell – especially when all the indications at the start suggest you really can get a £50k site for £20k.
We continue to try and find ways of helping companies make better-informed decisions, and on the whole we are getting there.
I hope this article gives you food for thought, and best of luck with whichever approach you take.
The Drupal 8 Mobile Initiative
Drupal 8 is set to become the most capable version of the website CMS framework to date, with it's new responsive features being among the most anticipated. What can we expect to see with regards responsive design?
With an eventual release date earmarked for mid to late 2013, Drupal 8 will be warmly welcomed into the community. As well as a raft of developer upgrades (which wont be discussed in this post), there are some fundamental core changes, chief among which will be a responsive solution for front-end and admin, out the box.
Let's first take a look at the new Admin bar. The 'Seven 8.0' is Drupal 8's default theme and whilst a step-up in presentation is obvious from the outset, users of Drupal 7 will still find this a very familiar toolbar.
It now has clearer, better-designed buttons with added icons to help spare the user's cognitive load and aid in orientation. The new icons are also a big help at mobile size where things can become a lot simpler.
Improved Drupal 8 Admin for Responsive Websites
Whilst Drupal 7 could always be integrated to a responsive website, the actual Admin user experience on smaller mobile devices was not the best it could be. A lot of vertical and horizontal scrolling and bunching of content meant adding or editing content wasn't the most pleasant of tasks.
Drupal 8 Desktop View
On a desktop monitor, the Admin bar has room to stretch and now makes better use of the two strips. The top strip has shortcuts and user info whilst the bottom strip is now a contrasting white colour, purely dedicated to Admin sections. A blue pencil icon on the far right toggles between the horizontal and vertical toolbar layouts.
Drupal 8 Mobile View
Here, the toolbar is shown responding to mobile. It re-adjusts automatically depending on the size of the device you are viewing so whether it's smart phone, tablet or desktop, the toolbar simply adjusts appropriately without you needing to think. Users familiar with Drupal 7 will note how much clearer the layout for mobile is now.
Responsive Images
Whilst properly addressing responsive serves up a laundry list of issues in general, one of the immediate problems most designers and developers will grapple with is how to deal with page-loading performance. As the size-range of devices becomes ever more extreme, we're also demanding that we're not dealt a half-baked experience on mobile - where connections are typically slower than desktops. At the same time, mobile devices are also ramping up in quality, like the iPhone retina screens, so now there is also a demand for 4 times the image.
Drupal 8 is also tackling this with responsive 'Pictures'. This allows admin authors to add one large image (whether it's a banner slide, a block image, gallery photo or a general picture on a page) and Drupal 8 will automatically serve up an appropriate size of picture for the device. E.g. full size for 1200px sites and over, and physically smaller versions for smartphones. This eliminates the temptation to 'hide' certain heavy pictures at smart phone size, which would normally penalise a smart phone user's overall experience.
This will avoid a large image designed for say, 1200px wide desktop (like a banner) being served up and scaled down, on the fly, for a smartphone and hence unnecessarily hogging bandwidth and page-speed.

Apt. 606 landed into Miami's fashion scene in 2012 and have slowly taken a stab at the mindset that a lot of of local streetwear types have about fashion in Miami. While most have been used to Jordans, a cool t-shirt and jeans, Apt. 606 plays towards a higher way of thinking beyond the typical streetwear looks. Apt. 606 sprung up and put a lot of men's retailers in Miami in check.
Holding inspirations from a minimalistic and an "all black everything" kind of motto, Apt. 606 introduced a new way of thinking to the Miami fashion scene. Or should we say a way of thinking about fashion that was and still is rarely seen in Miami. The monotone influence they brought forth from their then Wynwood and now Design District location has a very New York appeal and a very New York consciousness with a touch of high fashion from France and even Japan. Yet, the store seemingly boasts its own identity since every piece is handpicked by its owners to fit their taste and their standards of quality.
Some of their brands include Raf Simons, Rick Ownes, Surface To Air, Public School and more. And while their prices might be a little unreachable for the average consumer, their selection is unique and you won't really see any other retailers in Miami carrying some of the inventory they have in stock. So if you have a taste for high-end fashion and have the bank account to support that taste, then Apt. 606 is your must-go-to spot in Miami.
Apt 606
