Tokyo's Nikkei index rallied 3 per cent, boosted by a strong US dollar and following upbeat manufacturing data from China and Europe.
''Investors' risk aversion has started to recede,'' says Hideyuki Ishiguro, senior strategist at Okasan Securities. ''Exporters generally estimate the currency at 93.5 yen to the dollar, so the yen's level now raises optimism that we'll see upwards earnings revisions in the next reporting season.''
The stock market has closed slightly higher. The benchmark S&P/ASX200 index rose 8.3 points, or 0.2 per cent, to 5196.6, while the broader All Ords added 10.9 points, or 0.2 per cent, to 5188.9.
Among the sectors, materials jumped 1.1 per cent, financials inched up 0.1 per cent, while consumer staples and consumer discretionary fell 0.7 and 0.9 per cent respectively after weaker than expected retail sales.
The Australian dollar is rallying after the Reserve Bank left interest rates at a record low, as widely expected, but surprised some market players by not giving a clear signal it could ease again.
The Aussie jumped nearly threee-quarters of a cent to a session peak of 90.48 US cents, while cash bonds sold off as markets modestly lowered the chances of further interest rate cuts.
Interbank futures also fell, giving a 60 per cent chance of another cut by December, from 68 per cent before the RBA rate decision.
"Markets sold off and the Aussie dollar is going higher. The market took it as a hawkish development," says Matthew Johnson, a rate strategist at UBS.
"(But) I think the RBA is keeping its options open and the market is over-reacting," he says, seeing at least one more easing next year.
Some more on Microsoft's filleting of Nokia: The deal is not only about phones. Bundled up in Nokia's patents and expertise is the promise of a better grip on a market increasingly turning to mobile devices from PCs.
Tablets, phablets (larger screen phones, smaller than tablets) and smartphones are overtaking PCs, historically Microsoft's main game. This puts the outlook for Microsoft's cash-cow, the Windows operating system for PCs, under unprecedented pressure.
Foad Fadaghi, research director at Australian research firm Telsyte, says the deal is a chance for Microsoft to mimmick Apple in developing integrated hardware and software to better suit the market.
"They'll be controlling the software and the hardware, it's a more integrated approach of developing them together," Fadaghi says. "It might put the company in a better position to compete as consumers shift from PCs to mobile devices."Back to top
Switzerland's economy has defied the recession that afflicted its neighbours to notch up a year of uninterrupted growth, underlining the importance of the country's currency ceiling as it marks its second anniversary.
Swiss gross domestic product rose 0.5 per cent in the second quarter, topping forecasts of 0.3 per cent growth and up from three months through March, when it expanded by 0.6 per cent.
Since the Swiss National Bank set a cap on the franc of 1.20 per euro two years ago, the economy has seen only a single quarter of contraction, while the debt-plagued euro area only emerged from 18 months of recession last quarter.
''It's a clear success - they achieved what they wanted,'' minimising deflation risks, says Daniel Hartmann, an economist at Bantleon Bank in Zug. ''At the beginning the step was met with much skepticism. There were worries the cap wouldn't be manageable, that it would fail or the SNB would have to buy lots of euros and was exposing itself to huge losses.''
Qantas has ditched plans to add a near-new Boeing 747 freighter aircraft to its fleet, due to continued weakness in the international air-cargo market.
The latest figures from the peak airline body show that while the global air-freight market grew modestly in July, cargo demand in the Asia-Pacific region fell 1.4 per cent, due partly to sluggish business activity in China.
Qantas had intended to take on the freighter this year, to replace a contract it has with US air-cargo company Atlas Air to lease an older jumbo and crew – known as a wet lease.
If the market is looking for disappointment then Australia is probably the place to find it, says IG's Chris Weston:
- Retail sales gained 0.1% in August, which was not only below the 0.4% expected from economists, but was the fifth month in a row it missed forecasts and this included the one-off 'school kids' bonus. It's clear the consumer is not spending, despite confidence improving and this was seen in department stores sales falling 8%.
- We also saw the Q2 balance of payments highlighting a 7% increase in the deficit to $9.35 billion, representing 2.4% of GDP. We also know net exports won't contribute towards tomorrows GDP and while the consensus is for 0.6% for the quarter, however given today's data, one gets the sense this print could come in closer to 0.2%.
- The RBA won't cut again now until at least November, and looking at the OIS market, the chance of a cut in November has lowered on the back of this statement. We think that is unwise and after tomorrow's weak Q2 GDP read, a couple of poor employment reports and a weak CPI print on October 23 the probability of a November cut should increase.
- The irony of the whole situation is the higher the AUD, the more likely the RBA to cut in the future.
We apologise - some of our recent posts weren't sent live.
The Reserve Bank board may not come out and say it directly, but it is clearly waiting for the election to get out of the road, says CommSec chief economist Craig James:
- That way it can more accurately gauge what shape the economy is in, and – after a period of time – determine how consumers, investors and businesses are responding to previous rate cuts.
- interest rates are already low enough to foster solid, sustainable normal "growth" of the economy. The only two factors that have held back the economy over the past six months are political uncertainty and softness of the global economy. On Saturday the political uncertainty will hopefully be resolved. And the global economy is already showing more encouraging signs, especially the US and Chinese economies.
- The minutes of the August RBA Board meeting were exceptionally clear about the decision to cut interest rates and how this should be communicated: "Regarding the communication of this decision, members agreed that the Bank should neither close off the possibility of reducing rates further, nor signal an imminent intention to reduce rates further. The Board would continue to examine the data over the months ahead to judge whether monetary policy was appropriately configured.
- In other words, the Reserve Bank remains open to the idea of further rate cuts, but it has no intention of cutting rates any time soon. And most observers would view that as eminently sensible given business reluctance to spend or employ on the one hand, and investor keenness to buy and build homes on the other hand.
Rural lender Gippsland Secured Investments has been placed into receivership.
A spokesman from Ernst & Young said Adam Nikitins and Simon Cathro had been appointed receivers by the trustee, and had taken control of the company and its management as of noon today.
It is understood the lender has closed its doors at its headquarters in Bairnsdal.Back to top
Here are some more economist comments on today's rates non-event:
- The most relevant guidance we had were in the minutes of the previous meeting a couple of weeks ago which suggested there is still an easing bias, although that was very hard to extract from today's comments.
- We're saying that the cash rate at 2.5 per cent is the low and we're describing the RBA as reluctant rate cutters. They prefer the easing to come through a lower currency, rather than through lower rates.
- But if the unemployment rate keeps trending up and we get another low CPI reading, then I imagine come Melbourne Cup day (November 5) we will all be debating whether they'll be going to cut rates or not."
- The statement that came with the decision is very close to what we've seen in the past few months. It's almost an 'as you were' statement. Obviously the lower the currency goes, the less work they'll have to do over the long run. But the most important part of the currency here is what it will do for inflation and how much scope that will provide the board over the longer term.
- They do note explicitly that even allowing for the decline we have seen over the past few months, inflation will remain in the territory that will allow them to provide support if need be.
- After the (current account) numbers today, we think GDP will print at 0.2 (percent). We did have 0.4 before the data. If we are right on that forecast, then the RBA will have to downgrade their assessment for growth this year and perhaps next year. And that's conducive to a further rate cut down the line.
- There is no great surprise really. A very short statement covers a lot of very similar themes, no real new information.
- They continue to talk about below-trend growth, exchange rate a bit lower but still high, monetary policy that continues to support asset prices as well as retail spending, so really no additional guidance.
- I guess the final paragraph is very neutral in its tone. We are a few days away from the election as well, I think it is probably a deliberately short, clean statement.
- We expect them to deliver a final cut either in November or December, but there is very little forward guidance at today's statement."
Here are some tweets on the RBA's decision, with most commentators agreeing the central bank really hasn't changed its thinking much since the August cut:
Easing bias is gone #rba— David Scutt (@David_Scutt) September 3, 2013
#RBA delivers perfect even handed Election eve statement - no change but they still want #AUD lower— Greg McKenna (@gregorymckenna) September 3, 2013
#RBA on hold. Virtually no change to statement: growth "a bit below trend", inflation consistent with target, $A remains at hi level..— Shane Oliver (@ShaneOliverAMP) September 3, 2013
And there's no surprise from Glenn Stevens and team ... cash rate on hold at 2.5%. Still at ramming speed.— Shane Wright (@swrightwestoz) September 3, 2013
The dollar got a small lift from the RBA statement, rising about 0.2 cent to 90.15 US cents, or back to where it was this morning.
Here's the full statement by RBA governor Glenn Stevens, explaining today's decision:
At its meeting today, the Board decided to leave the cash rate unchanged at 2.5 per cent.
Recent information is consistent with global growth running a bit below average this year, with reasonable prospects of a pick-up next year. Commodity prices have declined from their peaks, but generally remain at high levels by historical standards. Inflation in most countries remains well contained.
Overall, global financial conditions remain very accommodative, though the recent reassessment by markets of the outlook for US monetary policy has seen a noticeable rise in sovereign bond yields, from exceptionally low levels. Volatility in financial markets has increased and has affected a number of emerging market economies in particular. Notwithstanding the higher volatility, Australian institutions have ample access to funding markets.
In Australia, the economy has been growing a bit below trend over the past year. This is expected to continue in the near term as the economy adjusts to lower levels of mining investment. The unemployment rate has edged higher. Inflation has been consistent with the medium-term target. With growth in labour costs moderating, this is expected to remain the case over the next one to two years, even with the effects of the recent depreciation of the exchange rate.
The easing in monetary policy since late 2011 has supported interest-sensitive spending and asset values, and further effects can be expected over time, including from the declines in rates seen over recent months. The pace of borrowing has remained relatively subdued, though recently there are signs of increased demand for finance by households.
The Australian dollar has depreciated by around 15 per cent since early April, although it remains at a high level. It is possible that the exchange rate will depreciate further over time, which would help to foster a rebalancing of growth in the economy.
At today's meeting, the Board judged that the setting of monetary policy remained appropriate. The Board will continue to assess the outlook and adjust policy as needed to foster sustainable growth in demand and inflation outcomes consistent with the target.
The Reserve Bank has kept the cash rate steady, as expected.Back to top
Here's a comment on the Microsoft-Nokia deal:
''Both Nokia and Microsoft really missed the boat in terms of smartphones, and it is extremely difficult to claw your way back from that,'' says Paul Budde, a Sydney-based telecommunications consultant.
''The question is whether combining two weak companies will get you a strong new competitor. It's doubtful.''
RBA rates decision coming up in five minutes. As pointed out before, it's expected to be a bit of a non-event, with just about every economist in sight tipping the central bank will keep the cash rate steady at 2.5 per cent. But as usual the devil will be in the detail of the governor's statement.
Meanwhile, the dollar is holding steady just below 90 US cents.
Under the terms of the deal with Nokia, Microsoft will take over all of Nokia's devices and services business, including the mobile phones and smart devices business units.
About 32,000 staff are expected to transfer to Microsoft, including 4700 people in Finland and 18,300 employees directly involved in manufacturing, assembly and packaging of products worldwide, the companies said.
As part of the deal, Microsoft will take over the Lumia brand and products. Nokia's mobile phones business unit serves hundreds of millions of customers worldwide and had sales of 53.7 million units in the second quarter of 2013.
The operations that are planned to be transferred to Microsoft generated an estimated 14.9 billion euros, or almost 50 per cent of Nokia's net sales for the full year 2012.
China's services sector grew steadily in August as domestic demand picked up, official data showed today, adding to signs that government measures have started to steer the world's second-largest economy out of its longest slowdown.
The non-manufacturing purchasing managers' index (PMI) dipped slightly to 53.9 last month from July's 54.1 to be at the same level as in June, the National Bureau of Statistics said.
A reading above 50 indicates activity in the sector is accelerating, while one below 50 points to a slowdown.
The survey followed a pair of manufacturing PMIs which showed factory activity accelerated in August.
"The non-manufacturing sector grew steadily in August. The rise in new orders set a good foundation for growth in the next few months," said Cai Jin, a vice head of the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing (CFLP), which compiles the index on behalf of the NBS, said in a statement.
Japan will tell G20 nations at a summit this week that it will proceed with a planned two-stage sales tax hike, and consider compiling an extra budget for fiscal spending to ease the pain on the economy, Finance Minister Taro Aso said today.
Aso, who will accompany Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to the Group of 20 summit in Russia, also said Japan is unlikely to face criticism from other countries this time about the yen's weakness that boosts the competitive advantage of its exports.
"Japan has launched fiscal and monetary stimulus to pull out of deflation. The yen's weakness was only a side-effect of that ultimate goal of beating deflation," Aso told a news conference after a regular cabinet meeting.
Japan has pledged at previous G20 gatherings that it will make efforts to rein in its ballooning public debt which, at double the size of its $5 trillion economy is the biggest among major industrialised nations.Back to top

Since Bryce Harper returned this week, Ryan Zimmerman has played third base every day, after a long layoff from his old position. And while the Nationals' infield defense is weaker with Zimmerman and his chronic right shoulder, a fact he willingly admits, Zimmerman's throwing has not been an issue. In fact, Zimmerman has made all the routine and tough plays needed this week.
"He's thrown fine. He's had a few plays," Manager Matt Williams said. "The spin play the other night, the throw to second was good. Certainly diving to his left was good. He dove on the line drive the other night and threw from his knees, a one-hopper over there which was fine. I think he's done fine."
On Monday, Zimmerman made a difficult, across-the-body one-hop throw deep in the hole for an out. He dived to his left for a sharp groundball and fired a throw from his knees to first for an out, an impressive overhand throw with no legs behind it. Earlier in the season, when his shoulder barked at him, Zimmerman likely wouldn't have made that throw. But the time in left field may have rested his shoulder.
Zimmerman's throws, in fact, appears to have a little more force behind them. Before he broke his thumb in April, Zimmerman was making sidearm throws even on routine plays because the overhand motion hurt his shoulder. This week, Zimmerman has thrown both ways.
"I think the time off from making that throw helped him," Williams said. "I think his arm feels fine. I would imagine throwing from the outfield and making a longer throw helped him as well. I think he's thrown fine. Weather could be a factor. It's warmer, not quite as cool as it was early on for sure. Probably all of that contributes to it."

"Surprisingly fast, efficient and pleasant."
About: Broomfield Hospital Broomfield Hospital Chelmsford CM1 7ET
Posted by Chris Jvr
What I liked Waiting times were < 5 minutes even when I arrived early for appointments. Direct and informative staff who were quick and efficient and got me in and out in minimal time without making me feel unwelcome or neglected. Perfect balance between speed and attentiveness. Friendly staff who talked me through most of what they were doing and asked me if I had questions at every stage of treatment. What could be improved Maybe a free cash machine in the hospital would be an idea (only one I could find charged for withdraws).

Is there a better way to start your week than that cup of coffee and videos of Andre Iguodala, Blake Griffin and Russell Westbrook making posters?
No, of course there isn't. We'll, unless you've got a nice bagel to go with it. Either way, enjoy.

Last year, O.J. Mayo was banned from the NBA for at least two years due to a drug violation. Aside from stating a plan to come back, Mayo didn't say much publicly.
Until now.
Ben Golliver of Sports Illustrated:
He acknowledged smoking marijuana and abusing a prescription pain medication that triggered his two-year ban because it is on the NBA's "drugs of abuse" list. (He emphatically denied testing positive for hard drugs like cocaine.)
Mayo also concluded that he had been "overwhelmed" by a string of difficult life events: his father, high school basketball star Kenny Ziegler, was sentenced to more than 10 years in prison for distributing crack cocaine, his brother was placed in juvenile lock-up, a close friend went to jail, and another was killed. "I was bred to play basketball and I thought I could balance everything," he said. "I couldn't."
That's part of an interesting feature on Mayo, who's training for his come back. Golliver's story makes it easy to pull for Mayo.
But the guard will be 30 when he's eligible to apply for reinstatement, and he played lousily in his last three seasons with the Bucks.
Hopefully, Mayo has and keeps his personal life in order. But returning to the NBA will be an uphill battle.
What chemistry problem?
There are legitimate questions about how Chris Paul and James Harden will share the backcourt and ball with the Rockets, but none of those were on display on Sunday. That's when CP3 joined his new teammate in Harden's charity game (raising money for Harden's charity, which helps children from single-family homes get a higher education), a kind of pro-am with some names thrown in to draw a crowd.
Harden and CP3 put on a show for the fans.
This is a charity event, not every team is going to defend like this or the Phoenix Suns. It's going to be harder when the games matter.
But the Rockets are going to be entertaining to watch this season. No doubt.
Want proof there is tampering in the NBA: Free agency starts on July 1 at midnight Eastern every year, and every year a number of new contracts for players with new teams are announced at 12:01 a.m. There is no way that a complicated NBA contract — even one where the two sides are both interested and will agree quickly on the price — is negotiated faster than it takes to get an In-N-Out Burger (or Five Guys burger, if you prefer the inferior).
Those deals are announced that fast because everything's already been agreed to through back channels. Same with meetings when a major (or even mediocre) free agent starts talking to teams on July 1. Yet, the NBA rarely investigates, and even more rarely punishes a team for tampering. Why? Because it's very difficult to prove.
The Lakers are being investigated for tampering with Paul George while he was under contract to the Indiana Pacers, an investigation reportedly started at the request of Pacers' owner Herb Simon. Teams are not allowed to recruit or entice players under contract. The Lakers have denied any wrongdoing. Lakers president Magic Johnson went on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" and, with a wink, joked about what he'd tell George if they met this summer, and that ticked Simon off. The Pacers had to trade George, and because everyone around the league knows he more likely than not is a Laker next summer (long before Magic went on TV), his trade value was diminished. The Pacers got back Victor Oladipo and Domantas Sabonis for him the day before free agency opened (although there may have been better offers on the table, and the choice and timing were odd). The Pacers think if there is an agreement in place between the Lakers and George that would have driven down the trade market (because he was a one-year rental, that market was already depressed).
Good luck proving tampering. Unless Magic did something stupid like text George directly, it will be almost impossible to prove.
NBA agents and front offices know how to avoid tampering using "back channels" — not unlike how governments who are public enemies still communicate. Someone, a couple of people removed from the agent/GM, can talk with someone a couple of people removed from the other side and set something up that gets brought back and agreed to. Or, an agent can have one of his other players do some of the work for him — players recruit each other all the time on social media (and off it), and the league doesn't see that as tampering, unless specifically ordered by a GM/owner. James Harden recruited Chris Paul. Draymond Green and other Warriors recruited Kevin Durant, and the league shrugged, but GM Bob Myers could not have done that (or directed the players to do that… again, good luck proving it if you think he did).
There are a few reasons it will be hard to prove the Lakers did anything. First, the Lakers' GM Rob Pelinka is a former agent and knows how to work the system — he's not getting caught. Look what another agent told Kevin O'Connor at The Ringer.
"Pelinka for sure knows how to tamper without getting caught," one agent told me. "Pelinka will do whatever it takes to get players. Magic could easily have done something dumb and got caught for it, though."
To prove tampering, Magic needs to have left a "paper trail," which more accurately is a digital trail of texts or emails. But even that can get tricky. If Magic was texting with George's agent Aaron Mintz that alone proves nothing, he also represents Julius Randle on the Lakers and D'Angelo Russell, who the Lakers traded a week before the George trade. It will take an email or text specifically talking about George for the Lakers to get in trouble, and Magic is smarter than that. Well, we think he is.
The bottom line is tampering is common and almost impossible to prove. Unless Magic screwed up, it will be unprovable here. Maybe the Pacers made their point, maybe Simon feels better, but it's hard to see how this is going to be tampering.
In a season of disappointments in New York, none was bigger than Joakim Noah.
There was plenty of scoffing around the league in the summer of 2016 when Phil Jackson signed the oft-injured, already declining Noah to a four-year, $72 million contract that was seen as one of the worst of a summer (and it was an ugly summer for contracts). He only played in 46 games, averaging 5.5 points on 49 percent shooting, plus 8.8 rebounds a game in those (and basically being averaged on offense and a step slow defensively). He missed time with a rotator cuff surgery and got a 20-game suspension for testing positive for Androgen (he has 13 of those games left and can't play until Nov. 13).
Noah realizes how poorly last season went he told the "Truth Barrel'' podcast, doesn't think Jackson deserves all the blame, and said his goal is to make it up this season (hat tip The New York Post for the transcription).
"It's tough, man, because I got a lot of love and respect for Phil,'' Noah said. "He gave me an opportunity to play back home. Somebody I read all his books as a kid. I was just a big fan and still am. I have a lot of respect for him. It didn't work out. That sucks. It's something I have to live with. He believed in me, and I kind of let him down. That's frustrating. He got a lot of blame that it was his fault. But we didn't lose all those games because of Phil Jackson…
"I went through a lot of adversity,'' Noah said. "You go through injuries. I lost my confidence this year. It's about bouncing back and showing who I am through these tough times. It can really show what you're made of."
This is the only attitude Noah should have — look forward, get healthy, and look to right his wrongs next season.
Once he finishes his suspension, Noah likely will come off the bench behind Willy Hernangomez. (The Knicks should spend more time with Kristaps Porzingis at the five, but that's another discussion.) Noah is going to get his chances, but nothing he has shown the past few seasons should have Knicks' fans expecting a return to form. Noah has been an average to below-average player for a couple of seasons, he's not moving the same way, and he's not getting younger.
Noah can still have a positive impact on this team, he has a role to play, but it has to start with him getting back on the court.

for example: you have tattoos and she doesn't and wants to get some.
Most Helpful Guy
She's welcome to walk around without a shirt if she wants to.31|20|0
for example: you have tattoos and she doesn't and wants to get some.
She's welcome to walk around without a shirt if she wants to.
Have an opinion?
No problem with it, other than if you think it's a drastic change and you think it's just to make you happy. Like, a guy wanting to get a tattoo of your name after 3 months of dating is way too much too soon.
Now if it's a creepy kind of copying, like he's stalking you, and you ALWAYS wear the same types of shirts, or same designs, or same colors, then yes, it's weird. Otherwise, I would have no problem with it.
I wouldn't mind. I dress very fashionable so if she did, we'd look pretty good together haha.
But as for tattoos, I do have some and I wouldn't want her to have one, if at all unless it was done tastefully and nothing too obvious. I know it's a bit ironic but I've never liked tattoos on most women, especially the women I go for.
I've got a crew cut 40s style...who would like to cut her hair like this?
I wouldn't mind it. I consider it a compliment saying that she likes your style. I also consider it a whole hell of a lot better than her trying to change the way I look.
It sounds like she just wants you 2 to have more in common
Wouldn't bother me at all to be honest. Most guys imo would feel the same.
he likes you without the tattoos for a reason perhaps that you don't have tattoos. so don't do it unless you want it
nothings because it wouldn't be your style to begin with. very few people are original
I would love it, because my girlfriend is really punky. And im a country boy. It would make her look sooo much sexier
That means they love you do much they are willing to change for you.
not sure what the problem would be in it...
i think that is why she likes you.
I guess I probably wouldn't care. I'm not sure exactly what they would copy from me though
i would be glad
Kinda lame but my x had no style at all so it would have been ok if she started to dress decently.
however mirroring (copying) IS a sign of flirtation and liking someone. I just still find it weird if a guy dresses like a girlie girl
Sometimes people don't necessarily try to copy you, but if you hang out enough your personality rubs off on them a little.
I would ask , "are you sure you want to do this?"
Well, it's natural that over time you will rub off on each other. But if he started copying things that didn't seem very "him" in the first place, I would ask him if he really did like those things or if he was doing them for me. Those types of things would be big, like changing his major or wearing lots of red nearly every day (though every boyfriend I've had since I started wearing red every day has purchased at least one new red thing to wear because he was with me, but that's not really a concern because I know they do it for me and it's usually just one shirt and I might get to see it once every week or two).
Things that wouldn't worry me would be things like watching the shows I like, reading the books I like, or wearing a wristwatch. Entertainment is usually shared in a relationship (hell, I read the entire Harry Potter series as a last-ditch effort to keep my high school boyfriend) and stuff like watches are convenient little style changes.
Basically, a small change of style isn't worrisome. It's when they change their entire outlook, style, or life for you that you should start to feel concerned.
Well... I don't see what part of my style a boyfriend could copy... I mean I dress quite femininely. Lots of dresses... cute shoes.. jewelry. So truth be told, I would be totally freaked out if a boyfriend of mine rocked up in a dress, Guess handbag and a heart shaped necklace. So weirded out would be how I'd feel.
Heck I might even feel jealous if he looked better than I did 0_o
It would be annoying if it were something other than your example, like copying everything I liked, my career choice, etc. It would show they were dependent on me (or maybe even trying to control me so they could twist it into "look what I did for you/because you thought it was a good idea"). I want my SO to be his own person, not my clone.
I wouldn't like it.
When I started dating my boyfriend (we've been dating for 8 months) he noticed that I wore beanies a lot so he went and got one because he thought they looked good. And then I started wearing v-necks a lot, so now he loves wearing them. I think it's flattering and shows he likes my style. I think I "copy" him more in his mannerisms, like I catch on to the little things he says and does more than what he wears.
I would find it a tad odd, but wouldn't hold it against him. I might tell him if I get uncomfortable with it. However, if he started wearing dresses ,and red lipstick, I would have to kick him to the curve. If he wants a tattoo then I am fine with it. It's like if I can have one why can't he?
With tattoos I'd have no problem. I mean why does anyone ever want to get a tattoo at first...when they see on they like on someone else. But when you say style, if my boyfriend started wearing dresses and tiny shorts I might be a bit worried lol
i think it's ok
Meh I'd feel flattered
I wouldn't care.
I would think that's stupid and if its something as major as a tattoo a major turn off becasue he might regret it afterwards.
i would think its f***ing stupid and I would break up with him
why would you even want to be with somebody who can't be themselves, who tries to be like you?
I think if a guy is dating a girlie girl, he would be ridiculed because he would then have to wear skirts and dresses. way back when, it was normal but its now seen as weird or gay etc...if a guy wanted to copy a girls style, she would have to be a tomboy (but since tomboys already dress like men, he wouldn't really have to change much, depending on what he wears)

|Deep coloured Poppies with bee friend
|Bee close up on the poppies
|A border full of poppies
We are getting so much done and have really made a huge difference to the look of the nursery to make it appealing to customers and it is certainly working. We get so many compliments from people who visit us. I really am loving it it but it is only natural to miss the freedom of going places for a day out, having time off, having a holiday and a life especially when you see everyone on Facebook away on summer holidays or weekends away and doing different things. I haven't had a summer holiday for two years and really miss that chance to get away for a couple of weeks and travel and explore somewhere new. Tuesday is my day off and although it would be nice to go off for the day, we didn't fancy driving around all day and wanted a relaxing time around the house. So the day went a bit like this:
A better night's sleep
A long lie, coffee in bed then a leisurely breakfast of scrambled eggs and good coffee
Errands done in the local town
A walk up Black Mount, our local big hill, been meaning to do it since we moved here a year ago
New pillows arrived and will hopefully improve my sleep
Lots of chores caught up on around the house
Some gardening done
Road tax paid
New chooks ordered and delivered the same day
Steak dinner cooked by Daniel with a lovely bottle of wine
The several week old ironing finished
I feel much better and on top of things again and it was great to get up a hill again, even if a relatively small one.
|Bracken, king of the hill, on the trig on Black Mount
|Coulter Fell in cloud from black Mount
|Dead Heather, Black Mount
|A dark peaty puddle
|Everyone smile, at the top of the hill
|Jamie on the trig
What about the new chooks? We've lost three old ladies in the year we have been here and I had promised Daniel we would get some more, especially the Light Sussex my Uncle has on Coll, which he took a fancy to when we were there at Easter. When I woke up at 7am on Tuesday morning I decided my first job would be to go ahead and order some as a surprise for Dan, I ordered two Sussex and one Black rock and waited on an email to say when they would be delivered. We went off for our walk in the afternoon and came back to a note through the door saying the new hens were shut in the hen house, now that is service. Here they are:
|Buffy the cockerel inspecting the new ladies
|The new ladies
I have had a bit of a lurgy, probably a cold combined with hay fever and not sleeping well which along with working six days a week and being busy busy has left quite exhausted. Although we are technically closed on a Monday I have been working to get everything done, but this Monday I decided to have a long lie and try to catch up on some sleep. I caught up on some chores, went down to the local town to fill up the car with petrol, has everyone else noticed the price is creeping up again? I bought a card and pressies to send to my niece for her birthday and then headed to work. The day was spent ordering new plants for next year (exciting) and dividing and potting (free plants). I find it really satisfying dividing and re potting the neglected plants, making more stock from a few plants for next year and watching them grow, invigorated by fresh compost, fertilizer and water.
|Andrew who runs the wood shack built this lovely planter in the
car park and I've planted it up.
|There are 2 litters of new tiny piglets in the field behind the nursery, they are cute
|Everyone smile
We've not had much success with the vegetable growing due the even colder than normal summer here in Scotland. Daniel's first three varieties of potatoes have been good however. There is a promising courgette in the greenhouse and the kale is good. We are not expecting to get the beans, carrots or beetroot before the weather turns though.

Information about several events of interest to family historians is available on the Idaho State Archives Outreach page.
United States > Idaho
Idaho began as part of Oregon Territory. It became a separate territory in 1863, then encompassing most of what became Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. Idaho was the 43rd state admitted to the Union, which occurred 3 July 1890.
The Idaho State Archives (formerly the Idaho State History Society Public Archives and Research Library or PARL) is located at 2205 Old Penitentiary Road in Boise. They have a large collection of newspapers, photographs, and manuscripts relating to Idaho. The Research Center for the Archives is open Tuesday thru Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Their web site gives more information about their holdings.

I prefer smaller lips
They can look very nice.
Have an opinion?
Love soft lips!
Their full lips are pretty much the only thing I like about them, to be honest.
What's wrong with African American Women?
So... you don't find them attractive because theiron race not necessarily because they are not beautiful
They can look nice.
The only opinion from girls was selected the Most Helpful Opinion, but you can still contribute by sharing an opinion!

"Appointment was a long time in the future"
About: Telford referral and quality service (TRAQS) Telford referral and quality service (TRAQS) TF7 4BF
Posted by Hiker974 (as ),
My doctor referred me to Donnington Dermatology Clinic. I had no direct contact with TRAQS except to receive a letter informing me of my appointment.
Appointment was a long time in the future, I thought a little too long. I did contact the clinic and said if they ever had a cancellation if they called me. I live nearby and wouldn't need much notice, ie the same day.
But I never received a call for cancellation. Maybe there wasn't one but over the many weeks waiting I doubt it.
This could be improved.

|[jira] Commented: (DERBY-1062) Change the internal implemetation of SYSCS_INPLACE_COMPRESS_TABLE to share existing alter table
|Tue, 13 May 2008 19:57:55 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1062?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12596519#action_12596519 ] Mamta A. Satoor commented on DERBY-1062: ---------------------------------------- Thanks for taking a look at the patch, Kathey. The test was testing to compress a table that is not owned by the user issuing SYSCS_INPLACE_COMPRESS_TABLE. After the fix for this jira entry, we correctly throw "38000" just like what we do for SYSCS_COMPRESS_TABLE. I hope that answers your question. I have fixed the comment in GrantRevokeDDLTest which said that SYSCS_INPLACE_COMPRESS_TABLE will not behave correctly until DERBY-1062 is fixed. The comment fix went in as revision 655990. > Change the internal implemetation of SYSCS_INPLACE_COMPRESS_TABLE to share existing alter table > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DERBY-1062 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1062 > Project: Derby > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Newcomer, SQL, Store > Affects Versions: 10.1.3.1 > Reporter: Mike Matrigali > Assignee: Mamta A. Satoor > Priority: Minor > > Change the internal implemetation of SYSCS_INPLACE_COMPRESS_TABLE to share existing alter table > code. One suggested approach is to use the same mechanism as SYSCS_COMPRESS_TABLE. Such > an implementation would involve: > o change the parser for alter table to accecpt some internal only syntax for SYSCS_INPLACE_COMPRESS_TABLE > o change the alter table constant action to get the required information for inplace compress > o move most of the inplace compress driving code to a routine in alter table execution, following the same > coding pattern as existing alter table compress. > I believe doing this will have multiple benefits: > 1) shares existing alter table code, so things like error checking, security management, ... is all done by one piece of code > 2) by sharing the code I believe the following outstanding JIRA issues will be addressed: DERBY-719, DERBY-720 - > 3) future changes addressing ddl like grant/revoke will automatically work. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

"Individual commitment to a group effort -- that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work."
"There are nine requisites for contented living: HEALTH enough to make work a pleasure; WEALTH enough to support your needs; STRENGTH enough to battle with difficulties and forsake them; GRACE enough to confess your sins and overcome them; PATIENCE enough to toil until some good is accomplished; CHARITY enough to see some good in your neighbor; LOVE enough to move you to be useful and helpful to others; FAITH enough to make real the things of God; HOPE enough to remove all anxious fears concerning the future."
"Confront the dark parts of yourself, and work to banish them with illumination and forgiveness. Your willingness to wrestle with your demons will cause your angels to sing. Use the pain as fuel, as a reminder of your strength."
"Happiness is an attitude. We either make ourselves miserable, or happy and strong. The amount of work is the same."
"The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand."

So, in high school my art teacher gave me a box full of glass petri dishes. I probably have like 30 smaller ones and maybe 5-10 bigger ones. I carted them home in my friend's car, and it is a miracle that they did not all break on the drive home, but since that perilous day they have sat unused in the closet.
Well, actually, some of them have seeds sprouting in them right now, but once we plant the seeds in some dirt and pots and stuff, they will be empty and unused again.
Any ideas?

Raw Power
taly's Raw Power has been cranking out Punk Rock since 1981. Over the years many members have come and gone through their ranks, but founding brothers Mauro and Guiseppe Codeluppi would remain the only original members, with Silvio Stefanini, Alessandro "T-Rex" Ronco Ronchini, Paolo Casali, Niccolo Bossini, Matteo Tagliavini joining later. Over the years they became a cult favourite, especially with such seminal releases as 1985's Screams From The Gutter (Toxic Shock). Touring with the likes of Agnostic Front, Bad Brains, Circle Jerks, Dead Kennedys, Minor Threat and Suicidal Tendencies their live act lives up to their name being described as a nuclear bomb! After signing to 'Hello Records' in 1999 they would release their latest disc Trust Me in 2001.

Talking about the PlayStation 3 version, Michael Glück, lead programmer says the upcoming shooter is looking to surpass the visual fidelity of "all PS3 games".
"With each generation of game titles on PS3, usually every 2 years, the games improve significantly in its quality, mostly showing off in graphics," he told Play Magazine. "I think with Crysis 2 you will see the quality bar being set at a very high level that games will struggle to excel."
"We're aiming to set a whole new benchmark with that game for all PS3 games."
"Still with an AAA title shipped on PS3, you get the chance to improve further, so the next game developed with CryEngine 3 after Crysis 2 on PS3 will not be worse and rather be more polished and have higher quality in all areas," he said.
"However, it is unlikely to see a major improvement in graphics as we try to not cut any graphical feature and rather optimize it until it becomes feasible. So I expect more density of game elements, physic effect, more interaction, but the major graphics quality will not be significantly improved."

What is there to do at Seneca?
While there is not an overabundance of programmed activities and entertainment in the area, the options are long for outdoor recreation. Check out the Recreation page for more details.
If I rent a cabin, what will I need to bring?
A flashlight is needed because the cabins have no exterior lighting. Otherwise, we provide virtually all of the essentials, so just pack food, personal items, and the recreational gear of your choice.
What are your hiking trails like?
All of our trails are well marked and signed at each intersection, so anyone armed with a forest map can easily follow them. The terrain is moderately rugged in the forest, and some trails require unbridged stream crossings in wet weather. Most trails are open to mountain bikes and horses, but even so they are not heavily used and so offer a genuine opportunity for solitude and enjoyment of nature. In fact, some of our trails feature moss carpeting for your walking enjoyment! The Crestline Trail is the only one with overlooks, and there are no significant waterfalls in Seneca. One of our best trails is the Thorny Creek Trail due to its relatively easy grades and the adjacent stream.
How far in advance should I make reservations?
We do not accept reservations for the campground, but it rarely fills up anyway. For cabin rentals this is a difficult question to answer because it varies so much. We accept cabin reservations 12 months ahead, beginning the 1st of the month, and the further ahead you call the better your options will be. Based on past experience, however, you can use the following information as a rule of thumb: Try to call us 10 to 12 months ahead for October weekends and the week of Thanksgiving. Call us 6 months ahead for spring weekends, summer weeklong rentals, and October weekdays. Call 2- 3 months ahead for spring weekdays, and September and November weekends. Call 1 month or less ahead for September and November weekdays. Keep in mind that we offer no overnight accommodations from early December to mid April. If you cannot give the advance notice recommended above, call us anyway; you just might find an opening on shorter notice because of cancellations or other reasons.
Will I be staying near water?
Seneca is endowed with the Greenbrier River and Seneca Lake. The cabins are all located on one or the other of these bodies of water. The campsites are along a small intermittent stream about 2 miles from the lake and 6 miles from the river. The beautiful Greenbrier River is the longest undammed river in the eastern U. S.. Its flow fluctuates rapidly and often, so it is difficult to predict what it will be suitable for in advance. At moderately high flows (3' or above), it is suitable for canoeing. At moderate flows (2-4') it is suitable for tubing and swimming. At low flows (under 2', it is suitable for swimming and snorkeling. Fishing in the river is generally good throughout the spring, summer and fall. It has a rocky bottom and a shallow pool and riffle character throughout this area. There is virtually no whitewater on it.
Seneca Lake is a small man-made impoundment of 4 acres exclusively for boating and fishing. It is stocked with trout throughout the spring and again in October. During the summer the largemouth bass and bluegill are the easiest to catch.
Where is the nearest place to get gas or groceries?
15 miles south of the park office in Marlinton, WV or five miles to the north at Dunmore.
If you have other questions please feel free to e-mail or call us. We will do our best to answer them.

The investigators hypothesize that different placebos will have different effects on subjective and objective asthma outcomes compared with actual therapy and natural history. .
Subjects with asthma are randomly treated with placebo inhaler, placebo acupuncture, albuterol inhaler, or "no treatment" in random order, on three different occasions each. At each of the 12 visits, spirometry is performed repeatedly over 2 hours. Maximum FEV1 achieved and an 11-point, self-reported scale of improvement are examined.

Further study details as provided by Michael Wechsler, MD, Brigham and Women's Hospital:
Primary Outcome Measures:
- Change in FEV1 [ Time Frame: FEV1 was assessed every 20 minutes for 2 hours at each visit. There were 4 visits in each block each visit separated by 3-7 days. There were three blocks each block separated by 3-7 days. ]The baseline FEV1 (before treatment) was subtracted from the maximum FEV1 recorded during the 2 h period following treatment. This difference value was then converted into percent improvement by dividing by baseline FEV1 and multiplying by 100. Each treatment was given 3 times to each patient, so we averaged the 3 values to yield the mean percent change in FEV1 for each condition.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Asthma Symptoms [ Time Frame: Assesed over 2 hours during each visit. There were 4 visits in each block each visit separated by 3-7 days. There were three blocks each block separated by 3-7 days. ]Subjective change in asthma symptoms on a visual-analogue scale with scores ranging from 0 (no positive change) to 10 (complete positive change). These subjective responses were then converted to percent change during the 2 hours by multiplying each score by 10. Each of these individual subject scores were then averaged to produce an average percent change in symptoms.

Richard j Walls – Wanderer and Wonderer
As far back as I can remember every house I've ever lived in has had a globe. I suppose much like every other kid I'd spin it as fast as it would spin, before eyes closed, I'd slow and stop it with a finger. Mostly my finger would land with a splash in a big blue Ocean … but … if I did hit a landmass … in my imagination it would be the place I'd travel to next. Over the years, school, and work, and parenting, and mortgages, tamed my wanderlust, but it never went away … And though I've not yet traveled to every place my finger touched I've been lucky enough to reach a few … And though I live on a small, highly populated island just off the coast of Europe, contained within its four Kingdoms is enough history, beauty, exploration and discovery to last a life-time. Where ever I go I take a camera with me to capture the places I visit. This site records those places and images.
One day, a few years ago now, I got fed up, threw my heavy Nikon DSLR and collection of lenses and filters under a passing elephant, and headed to the nearest camera shop. The whole kit and caboodle had become just too heavy, too finicky, and required too much care and attention for a man of my limited patience. I'd done my best to to become a "proper" landscape photographer but for me it was just not fun! I realised that most of my pictures were taken on the spur of the moment; and though I didn't want to compromise on quality, I needed to go small, light and spontaneous. There was one only one full frame, high quality lens, mirrorless camera on the market, the Sony RX1. It was my first revelation, a small camera able to take incredibly beautiful images that I could take anywhere, I and did! The second revelation was the Sigma DP3 Merrill bought a few weeks later for £300! The camera may be a pig but the look and quality of the images it produces. Wow! I quickly complemented it with a DP1 Merrill and DP0 Quattro. They may be slow, clunky and take forever to post process, but for me the IQ is worth all the frustrations. Heading to the Lofotens Island in Feb 2016 I sold the RX1 in favour of the Sony A7rII, but as soon as I placed the order I realised it was a mistake; Why did I want the hassle of changing lenses? I cancelled and instead ordered the newly announced RX1rII. I've not once regretted the decision.
So that's what's in my kit bag, 3 Sigma cameras and a Sony RX1rII. The Merrill's I tend to use for architectural work, they have a clarity and tonal range second to none. The Quattro and Sony I use for landscape. For more creative images or night shots, or high ISO, it's the Sony. To go with them I've a collection of filters from a variety of manufacturers (mainly to protect the lens) and an Induro carbon Fibre tripod. Going small, especially with the Sony, changed the rules of the game and made photography fun again.
… But no camera is perfect. If I could change two things about the Sony it would be the (lack of) battery life and (lack of) weather sealing, so if you head down this route buy plenty of batteries, a portable battery charger, and a few plastic bags! This page isn't big enough to list all the things I'd change on the Sigmas but as long as they have a Foveon sensor inside, matched to those superb lenses, I'll love then and use them for ever! … or at least until the Sigma SD1 Quattro H comes out or I can afford the Hasselblad x1d … but I guess that's the problem with this game, there's always something more tempting just out of reach!

Racing reject Farnerud bid
By Tom Adams
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Stuttgart have been rebuffed in their attempts to sign Alexander Farnerud.Bundesliga outfit Stuttgart have been rebuffed in their attempts to sign Strasbourg star Alexander Farnerud.
Giovanni Trappatoni's new employers tabled a é¼4 million bid for the Swedish midfielder, as they look to replace Alexander Hleb after the Belarus international secured a switch to Arsenal.
Racing chose to turn down the bid for their 21-year-old as president Egon Ginsberg emphasised Farnerud's value to the French outfit.
"This is a big sum, it is sure, especially for a young player as Alex," Gindorf is reported as saying in the Alsace press.
"But we also believe in him and it did not reach his value.
"We will surely not loosen it for that price.
"And, whatever the price, we will not allow him to leave without having a replacement of the same sporting value."
