Reader's view: PolyMet's mine will pollute the water that sustains us
I can only imagine 100 years from now how ad campaigns to draw tourists to Northeastern Minnesota and to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness will have to carry a disclaimer, just like packs of cigarettes do now. The surgeon general's warning will be: "Drinking the water or eating the fish will be hazardous to your health."
Please add my name to the list of "environmental wackos" St. Louis County Board members were discussing at their June 3 meeting — if my name isn't there already ("County Board: No federal mining review," June 4).

Highland routs Harmony for first win
FARMINGTON — Highland picked up its first win of the season on Monday night, going on the road to rout Harmony 59-11.
The Huskies (1-1) led 21-2 after one quarter of play, and then stretched their lead to 43-5 by the halftime break. Highland never gave up more than four points in a quarter defensively.
"Our pressure got to them tonight and caused many turnovers," said Highland head coach Jody Fink, whose team collected 30 steals. "Our girls did a good job of getting out and running. They took good shots and played hard. It was a good turn-around game."
Senior Kelsey Doreo scored 12 points to lead a balanced Highland attack. Sophomore Sam Dutton had 10 points, six rebounds and three blocked shots in the contest. Sophomores Chelsey Lampe and Bridget Murphy both scored eight points, and Murphy also had 10 steals in the game. Seniors Paige Wieland and Kassie Vazquez had five thefts apiece.

Checking the scoreboard after SEC's big new TV deals
Published September 1, 2008
There are many interesting subplots to the SEC's recently announced TV deals and the expected $3 billion-plus windfall from those agreements. I've decided to focus on four.
ESPN's $150 million annual payout is not as crazy as it sounds.
There's usually a stunned silence when most people hear how much ESPN is paying the SEC for its media rights. The numbers sound insane, particularly to traditional broadcasters. CBS, Fox and NBC could never make this deal.
But the numbers actually make sense for ESPN. That's because, unlike the broadcasters, ESPN doesn't solely depend on ad sales to make money. With its multiple revenue streams — from cable operator license fees and ad sales — I expect ESPN to profit from the deal almost immediately.
Let's say the addition of exclusive SEC content helps convince Comcast to launch ESPNU in up to 8 million homes, which is expected to happen. Then let's say the network cobbles together another 17 million homes from cable operators nationwide — another achievable goal.
At a cost of about 15 cents per subscriber per month (a bargain, compared to the Big Ten Network's 70 cents), the added 25 million homes would add $45 million a year in revenue to ESPN's bottom line.
Then there's over-the-air syndication, which sources believe could bring ESPN another $15 million to $20 million a year. Add to that another $5 million or so for the regional cable deals, which ESPN now controls.
Without factoring in broadband or mobile growth, not to mention ad sales, ESPN could clear close to $70 million a year as a direct result of the deal.
This deal follows the traditional model of charging lower license fees early and higher license fees late to come to the $150 million average over the deal's 15 years. Using my back-of-the-envelope math, it means that a good ad sales effort in year one should result in an immediate profit.
The ACC, Pac-10 and Big 12 should temper their enthusiasm.
SEC officials have to feel like they've won the lottery after essentially tripling the conference's TV revenue to the tune of $205 million a year.
With SEC and Big Ten colleges each collecting $15 million a year from their newest TV deals, you'd think that the Atlantic Coast, Pac-10 and Big 12 conferences are in a great position to cash in on their rights. They are the next three major conferences due to rework their media deals, with the ACC's deal next up in 2011.
Ten's, won't leave much room for other leagues.
But I don't think any of these conferences is going to come close to matching the money or the scope of the SEC's deals — at least, not with ESPN. The reason comes down to simple economics and shelf-space.
ESPN is paying $150 million to the SEC to help drive distribution for ESPNU and its broadband and mobile platforms. Can the ACC, Pac-10 and Big 12 drive as much distribution as the SEC? I don't think so. By 2011, ESPNU already should be well distributed.
That's not to say these conferences won't get increases from their media rights. They will. It just won't be as dramatic a jump as the SEC experienced with its new deals.
There's also the issue of shelf-space. ESPN is under contract to show up to 25 Big Ten football games each season and a minimum of 20 SEC games on ESPN and ESPN2. That's 45 or more games during a 13-week college football season, or more than three games per week. That doesn't leave a lot of prime positions for others.
Remember: One of the main reasons the Mountain West Conference decided to launch its own network, The mtn., is because they were tired of having their teams play Thursday night games on ESPN.
If I were advising the ACC, Pac-10 and Big 12, I'd try to convince them to get their respective deals done early. The second or third conference to finalize a deal will find money and time slots even more limited.
This, of course, could offer an opening for another network, like Fox Sports Net or Versus.
The entire Southeastern Conference should be sending Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany a Christmas card this year.
Delany should be considered the hero of the SEC. I'm serious. It was Delany's media strategy of creating a conference channel that set up the environment where the SEC could triple the amount of TV revenue it's getting from CBS and ESPN.
Delany made his channel decision at a different time. ESPN's offer to the Big Ten in 2006 was not nearly as big. In fact, ESPN originally wanted to pay the conference less money. Once the boys in Bristol saw Delany successfully launch a channel, though, ESPN wanted to keep the SEC from doing the same — and that meant increasing its payout to $150 million per year.
Having Comcast, Time Warner, Charter and Mediacom agree to take the Big Ten Network over the past couple of weeks must have been incredibly satisfying for Delany, but watching the SEC profit from the Big Ten Network, without having to deal with any of the distribution problems, must have been somewhat bittersweet.
Who lost?
Raycom Sports, which lost nearly half its business, and CBS College Sports, which still doesn't have any live football or basketball deals for BCS conferences, clearly are the two biggest losers from this deal. But they both will be OK.
Raycom (formerly Lincoln Financial and Jefferson Pilot) was dealt a crushing blow by its partner for the past 24 years, but it's not a fatal one. Sources say Raycom is a front-runner to keep its ACC business, since ESPN will have too many market overlaps from syndicating Big East and SEC content.
I expect CBS College Sports to continue gaining distribution on cable and satellite systems. I have to believe that CBS's Leslie Moonves will drive CBS College's distribution during CBS's upcoming retransmission negotiations with cable operators.

Calgary Flames tickets are red hot, and team management is expected to soon announce record pre-season sales, a spokesman for the hockey club said.
Rollie Cyr, vice-president of ticket sales for the team, said he hasn't seen anything like it in 10 years.
"We have had a great period of renewal," he said.
"Three weeks ago, we sold 200 new season tickets -- that was before the settlement was announced -- and the phone has been ringing off the wall since the announcement."
On Wednesday, the NHL and its players association announced a tentative agreement to end the strike that wiped out the 2004-05 season.
While the deal still has to be ratified by the players at a meeting later this week, it appears there will be professional hockey this year.
The league went into the lockout Sept. 15, and the new six-year collective bargaining agreement -- which still has to be ratified and approved by the NHL board of governors and the rank and file membership of the players association -- will officially end the stalemate on July 21.
The agreement, a complex document reportedly numbering more than 600 pages, came after both sides staged marathon negotiating sessions for ten consecutive days.
When the strike first happened, Flames season ticket holders were given three options, said Cyr.
"They could have cancelled their tickets and taken a full refund, left a 10 percent deposit to assure their seats, or left the money which paid them interest and froze seat prices for two years," he said.
Most, he added, opted for the second or third option.
An announcement about the status of current ticket sales will be made in about two weeks, but Cyr would not give any preliminary numbers.
"The announcement will be very positive," he said.
Even though a games schedule has yet to be announced, fans can purchase tickets now and get dibs on the games when they're known.

Murray, Larsen propose boosting federal funding for ferries
Washington State Ferries needs $3.3 billion over next two decades
Published 10:00 pm, Wednesday, July 1, 2009
One day after Washington State Ferries issued a report saying it would need $3.3 billion over the next two decades, U.S. Sen. Patty Murray and her congressional counterpart, Rep. Rick Larsen, highlighted a plan to dramatically increase federal aid to the nation's "marine highways."
With morning ferry commuters unloading in the backdrop, Murray and Larsen were joined by state officials Wednesday at Colman Dock, where they promoted the U.S. Ferry Systems Investment Act of 2009. Introduced earlier this year, the legislation would provide $1.2 billion to the country's ferry systems over the next six years, starting in 2010.

Washington state, which has the country's largest ferry system, could receive at least $35 to $40 million annually each year under the plan.
Murray said she's worked the past decade to persuade others in Congress of the importance of ferry fleets to public transportation. She said she's gained increasing support, with Alaska Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski, whose state also has a large ferry system, co-sponsoring the legislation. Murray and Larsen are both Democrats.
"It's time for the federal government to step up and fund this critical part of our transportation system," said Murray, chair of the Senate appropriations committee on transportation, during the news conference at Pier 52.
The current federal Ferry Boat Discretionary program represents about one-tenth of one percent of all federal surface transportation spending. In 2009, it provided $67 million nationwide to ferry systems that carry more than 100 million passengers and are seeing growth in demand, according to Murray's office.
Washington State Ferries, with 22 vessels and 200 miles of water routes in the Puget Sound, serves 23 million ferry riders each year. Residents on Vashon Island and the San Juan Islands rely on ferries as the sole connection with the mainland through public transportation.
But the ferry fleet and terminals are aging, as evidenced when four 80-year-old Steel Electric class ferries were decommissioned in 2007, which temporarily closed the run between Port Townsend and Keystone on Whidbey Island.
"It would be a huge advantage to us," said David Moseley, assistant secretary of Washington State Ferries.
Moseley said more federal aid could help pay for new propulsion equipment and help close a $3.3 billion funding gap in the agency's $4.9 billion, 22-year plan for capital improvements. A report on the plan was released Tuesday.
The federal legislation would change how the government allocates ferry funding. About $100 million would be distributed under a formula that considers factors such as the number of passengers and vehicles carried by the ferry system each year and the number of miles in each ferry route. The other half would be distributed under a competitive process at the transportation secretary's discretion.
The state ferries long-term plan, which was required by the Legislature, says 10 vessels will be retired and need a replacement by 2030. Many of those were built in the 1940s and 1950s, according to the report.
It calls for $1.1 billion in improvements to terminals and includes the development of a vehicle reservation system. Ridership is predicted to jump 37 percent by 2030, according to the report.
But the ferry system won't have enough money to cover its needs with existing revenue. Part of problem is the ferry system lost 75 percent of its capital funding when the Motor Vehicle Excise Tax was reduced to a flat $30 fee in 2000.
This year, the state Legislature approved $505 million for new construction of five ferries by 2015 to replace decommissioned vessels. One vessel, with capacity for 64 cars and 700 passengers, is under construction at Todd Shipyards, Moseley said.
Larsen, whose congressional district includes Anacortes, the San Juan Islands, and Whidbey Island, said thousands of his constituents rely on a ferry as the most practical mode of transportation.
"In Washington state, the ferry system has always been seen as part of our highway system, and in fact, it is part of our highway system by law. But in other parts of the country, it's seen mainly as a tourist activity," Larsen said.
Murray said events such as the 9/11 terrorist attacks changed that outlook because New York's ferries were the only mode of transportation able to evacuate people from Manhattan.
Murray and Larsen said their plan is to merge the ferry legislation with the Federal Surface Transportation Policy and Planning Act of 2009, which would set the federal government's policy and funding priorities for the next six years.
King County Councilman Dow Constantine, who chairs the county's fledgling ferry district, praised the legislation. The county's foot ferry service also would be eligible for funding under the legislation.
"The federal government already invests in roads, bridges and rail lines -- I applaud the effort by Senator Murray and Representative Larsen to give equal treatment to our marine highways," said Constantine, who is running for county executive, in a prepared statement.
The legislation also would enable ferry systems to compete for funding under the Clean Fuels Grant Program and establish a National Ferry Transportation Institute at a college or university. The institute would conduct research, training, and develop models for improving the operation and safety of ferries.

Bros bond as Chili Peppers stay red hot
Updated 10:10 am, Sunday, October 21, 2012
It was bros night out Saturday in Houston, thanks to the Red Hot Chili Peppers
The group's sold-out show was energized by a largely young, rowdy male crowd. They sang along, fist-pumped and even got a little misty during "Scar Tissue."
There were a few too many unfamiliar moments, mostly from 2011 album "I'm With You," that sent some scurrying up the aisles. But you can't fault a band too much for plugging the new stuff.
Recent-ish single "Monarchy of Roses" set a thundering pace that remained throughout the brisk set. Frontman Anthony Kiedis literally skipped onstage in a green T-shirt - stripped off by the fourth song - and black pants with one missing leg revealing a tube sock.
Multiple screens displayed each band member above the stage, and every song was punctuated with colored flashes of light. Kiedis and bassist Flea still have a scrappy energy, though the whole unit doesn't rock quite as hard as it used to. (Guitarist Josh Klinghoffer remained seated for large chunks of the show.)
It's strange to imagine RHCP has been doing it so long, but the band was inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame earlier this year. (The current tour, which included a March date in Houston, was postponed earlier this year due to Kiedis' foot injuries.)
"Snow (Hey Oh)" typified the energy between band and crowd. There was lots of yelling and singing but little stage banter, aside from a few thank-yous and song introductions.
When the unmistakable "Under the Bridge" riff kicked in, every voice and hand seemed to lift into the air. That charge of energy led the band through its fiery cover of Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground" and a mournful "Californication."
The final stretch, which included "By the Way" and closer "Give It Away," found RHCP in peak form. Kiedis was as loose and lively as the music. And the bros couldn't stop smiling.

Your house looks beautiful decked out in fresh greens Michael Lee, and your dining room is simply stunning. This looks like such a special book, thank you for sharing so many great ideas! I wish you and your family and merry and jolly Christmas!ReplyDelete
Welcome back to the land of southern enchantment, I have to say I truly adore your photos, the brilliant light, the backdrops, it's just gorgeous and again more dishes to covet…ReplyDelete
Oh my gosh your southern meal is spectacular, I have never fried chicken, nor do I ever photograph meat/poultry because it just never looks appealing to me, you've managed to make both extremely enticing!
You must be absolutely loving your new kitchen it's so fresh and clean and the Christmas adornment is beautiful.
Thank you so much for being a novel baker and sharing your beautiful home with us this Christmas, it's always a delight visiting with you!
wishing you a very merry Christmas
I love how you added the beautiful greenery to the kitchen....my goal next year is less stuff, more greenery!...and i would covet that Juliska china too!....The recipes look amazing and that book looks like it is a must have for our Southern homes and traditions! Merry Christmas to you and your family and my wishes for a most wonderful 2017!ReplyDelete
Everything looks delightful and Christmasy! I may try your version of slaw. Yummy additions. Gorgeous dishes too. I always love to peek into your house. Merry Christmas my friend 🎄🎄🎄ReplyDelete
Your home is so light and bright and it looks like such a happy home. Merry Christmas!ReplyDelete
I thought I heard lip-smacking the other day!;) Yummy food and delectables and love the perfect touches of greenery in the heart of the home!ReplyDelete
Michael Lee, I popped by early yesterday morning to pin and ooh and ahh but had to head out the door to check off my long to-do list of errands. I'm back this morning to a second helping of your perfect Southern meal set among all your holiday finery! I love all the greenery, twinkling lights and wreaths you've used to welcome Christmas in your home! The photo of the prisms from your chandlier twinkling and reflecting in the glass in your dining room takes my breath away.ReplyDelete
I'd like to ask Santa for a beautiful new kitchen like yours (without any remodeling woes :) complete with Wolf range and cheery red knobs! While he's filling his sleigh, maybe he can deliver a set of those pretty Juliska dishes too!
Thanks for sharing your home this Christmas season and for playing along with me in the kitchen this week. Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas. ♥
I'm like Mary, I ooh and ahh my way through each of the Novel Bakers's posts. Each of you do an outstanding presentation filled with more inspiration than imaginable. I love all the greenery you have used in your home for the holidays. The twinkle lights make it magical.ReplyDelete
I have the Juliska plates and added a set of the comfort mugs this summer. They are perfect for soup. I find the Juliska Estate pieces enchanting. Love that they tell a story. I first bought the Harvest set, and so happy I did because it is now discontinued.
Merry Christmas!
I'm sighing over the Juliska dishes and those red napkins with the pretty white trim. I'd love to come for fried chicken, slaw, cornbread and punch! Before I leave, I'd be more than happy to eat one of those beautiful shortbread cookies. Your home looks so festive with your special decorating magic that you are so good at.ReplyDelete
Michael Lee, Your home is so welcoming and beautiful! This kitchen, with its red Wolf knobs and snowy white cabinets is the perfect backdrop for greens and a bit of holiday decor. I chose those Juliska dishes as my new Christmas pattern this year and we have been using them since the beginning of December, and are using them still. They are full of joy and your delicious southern meal would be spectacular served on them in your beautiful home. Oh, I wish I had some of that apple slaw right now! This book is one of my favorites, and I'll be using it for a long time. Your hard work on your new house has successfully transformed it into a beautiful place, and I'm going to remember this transformation when we move next time! Happy New Year, Michael Lee, I wish you all the best in 2017.ReplyDelete

Jackie Chan didn't really become a bankable star in the United States until the 1995 release of Rumble in the Bronx. Before that, Chan had more of a cult following of fans in the U.S. who appreciated his style of comedic adventure mixed with martial arts. But with the popularity of his films that were released domestically throughout the second half of the 90s, Chan's action comedies finally found an audience in America. The key thing to keep in mind, however, is that Chan has a loyal following because of the fact that what he does, he does better than anyone else. Even when he makes a film that is mediocre compared to his better movies, it still works because it is a Jackie Chan flick. Understanding that is key to understanding why Seoul Raiders doesn't completely work. It is a mediocre Jackie Chan film, only without Jackie Chan.
Hong Kong director Jingle Ma reunites with actor Tony Leung for this sequel to Tokyo Raiders. Leung returns as Lam (although he was Lin in Tokyo Raiders), a not-so-well-defined rogue who is equal parts mercenary, spy and thief. Early on Lam crosses paths with JJ (Shu Qi), a sexy master criminal looking to get her hands on the same prize as Lam--a set of engraved plates to be used to counterfeit U.S. currency. Lam manages to get the plates away from JJ, only to lose them to Owen Lee (Richie Jen), an employee of the U.S. Embassy in Hong Kong, who steals them so he can sell them to Korean gangsters. Tracking Owen to Seoul, Lam teams up with a trio of asskicking Korean beauties (imagine Charley's Angels, only with no sense of character development or depth). Once in Korea, the film is basically an extended chase between Lam and Owen, with occasional breaks for them to either fight each other, or square off against the Korean gangsters. Meanwhile, JJ shows up, because apparently three women aren't enough to distract from the paper-thin story or the silly jokes.
As director of photography on such Hong Kong classics as Drunken Master II, Rumble in the Bronx, The Legend of Fong Sai-Yuk and Deadly China Hero, it would seem reasonable to expect more from Jingle Ma as a director, but that's simply not the case. Ma's direction is competent, but unexceptional. Serving as both director and director of photography, Ma's sense of visual style seems like nothing more than a knock-off of every imitator of John Woo to come up through the ranks of the Hong Kong film industry over the last decade and a half. All of that is to say that Seoul Raiders isn't a bad film so much as it is movie that is pretty much indistinguishable from dozens of other Asian action flicks.
Tony Leung, who has proven himself a capable and diverse actor in films such as In the Mood for Love and Infernal Affairs doesn't quite seem to have what it takes to make the comedy in Seoul Raiders work. Of course, the fact that the whole film feels like an unproduced Jackie Chan script that has been gathering dust for ten years doesn't help matters. And the terrible dubbing job all but ruins the film, making it so difficult to sit through that if there is a truly good movie to found in Seoul Raiders, it is obscured by one of the worst dub jobs in recent memory.
Fans of Tokyo Raiders may enjoy this lightweight sequel. Fans of Asian action flicks may also be mildly entertaining, but the fight sequences and stunt work is generic by Hong Kong standards, making Seoul Raiders a film that will seem as run-of-the-mill and contrived as they come. And while there is no major reason to avoid the film--other than the dubbing--you're likely to be better off just watching a Hong Kong film you already know and love.

There is nothing quite like having your favourite photo printed onto canvas and then stretched over a frame ready for hanging - but if you are preparing your files yourself there are a couple of things to note.
When you prepare your file and want to have the image wrap round the edge of the frame, you have to allow enough image for the edge and a little extra to wrap round the back of the frame.
The frames come in two widths, 20mm or 40mm depth. When supplying your images for printing and stretching you need to make allowance for canvas that is wrapped around the frame. We suggest that you add the depth of the frame (either 20mm or 40mm) plus an extra 10mm that will be on the back. Below is an image that is to be framed on an 40mm A3 frame. The total dimensions are 420+80+20=520mm x 297+80+20=397mm. The light grey indicates the part of the image that will appear on the side of the frame, while the darker gray shows the image that will be on the back of the frame.
Ideally we suggest that you avoid having solid full colour on the frames edge. Because of the stretching process we can't guarantee that the edge will be completely straight and exactly on the frame edge/fold. If your image does not have enough area to wrap on the frame then we suggest that you use your imaging program to create the extra image area. Often it is as easy as creating a reflected component.
Please also ensure that you follow the resolution guidelines on the Wide Format Preparation page to ensure your image is printed at the best quality.

IFP Launching a 'Secret Film Club' at the reRun Theater in Brooklyn
by Alex Billington
May 6, 2013
A secret film club?! That's our idea! For years, a good friend and I have thrown around the idea of hosting surprise screenings for fun. The Independent Filmmaker Project (IFP) & Filmmaker magazine partnered with the reRun Theater in Brooklyn (Google Maps) and are launching this idea in what they've dubbed the "Secret Film Club". I want in already. For five days at the reRun, they're hosting free screenings that will be a complete secret. "The films screening – which will not be revealed publicly – will be a mix of acclaimed festival favorites with forthcoming theatrical releases and underappreciated recent independent titles."
So, don't expect Star Trek Into Darkness to play one night. Or, maybe do expect it. You never know, right? This is the first announcement of the series and thus, "for this inaugural edition, all screenings will be free, with audience members only required to RSVP." To do that, visit the Secret Film Club Eventbrite RSVP. Their pitch is solid though I'm not exactly sure how discussion will work: "Only very limited information will be available about each film prior to its showing, and audiences will be asked to refrain from going on social media to talk about the movies they've seen." Here's one of the best quotes from the press release:
"One of my favorite things about film festivals has always been surprise screenings, so the idea was to make a whole week of those," said Filmmaker magazine's Managing Editor, Nick Dawson. "I love that feeling of anticipation when the lights go down, and in the Secret Film Club we have an incredible lineup – both films that you've heard of and ones that you haven't – that we can't wait to share with audiences."
I love this idea. I would be there (if I wasn't going to be in Cannes). In fact, I'm honestly jealous that these guys put together a "Secret Film Club" and I hope everything runs very well. "IFP feels that the communal experience of watching films grows ever more important, and this is an innovative, immersive way of bringing exciting new cinema to audiences," said IFP Executive Director Joana Vicente. Indeed, and that's why I think this is genius. While I wish we had more information, at this point there's nothing more to say than to check out the listings, RSVP to some of the screenings, and wait to find out what they secretly show.
For those left frustrated at a lack of clues, they do mention on the RSVP page: "But…we can't say there won't be some delicious hints sprinkled about here and there." I'm sure the day after we'll hear all about the film they screened, but until then, it's a big mystery. For more info on the reRun Theater, visit reruntheater.com. For further details and to RSVP to any of these screenings, visit to the Secret Film Series Eventbrite page.

Stuart's favourite dosshole when he managed to avoid the police was a squat: a row of battered houses by the railway tracks. 'The punks - they told me where it was, though I was a skinhead at the time, myself.' It was 1984. The year the Libyans shot WPC Yvonne Fletcher. There were still Victorians in old people's homes.
In Stuart's squat, the top ceiling was help in place with scaffolding. There were no boards or banisters on the lower floor; the doors and frames were wrenched out 'because when some of us needed to keep the fires going, we used to nick the coal off the railway line, if we could be bothered, or just burn whatever wood we could get in the squat. It stunk of piss and shit cos all the toilets and bathrooms were blocked.' Then, one day, 'the Old Bill come and hammered hardboard over the entrances.' Someone tried to start the squats up again, 'ripped all the windows up and whacked all the bricks out of the walls, but them squats were finished.'
Another time, 'I was in a squat, which was a college house, and the students had left all their stuff in it because it was summer. You could guarantee that every couple of days the police would come and pay a visit at six o'clock in the morning looking for people on warrants or looking for runaways. So in the middle storey if you didn't know where you were going you fell right through the stairs. We'd made big booby traps on the stairs, big holes hidden in the steps. Even in the one by the railway, we left one door open that hadn't been burnt at the top of the stairs, so at night when everyone was in, if people had been out robbing and there was nicked gear, then you just put a big lump of wood against the wall and on the door and the Old Bill couldn't push the door open. It would take some doing to get that door off.'
'How long did you stay in the booby trapped place?'
'You know, to be honest, that sort of question don't mean nothing to a person like me. That's what you're going to find difficult to understand. You grew up with order so you're going to want to explain things. Where, me, anything ordered was wrong. It weren't a part of my days. My life is so complicated it's hard for me to actually say what happened in them days let alone what order.'
'But some sense of time - you must have had that?'
'Nah. Some minutes was long, other minutes was short. I know that. Sometimes I was in the park, sometimes I wasn't. Sometimes, which were supposed to be weeks and months - I don't think they happened at all. The one constant was, I hated the Old Bill. Anything for an argument with the Old Bill. Then I hated going to jail, but I hated the Old Bill as well. Funny days, weren't they?'
Stuart squeezes his diary out of his jacket pocket, squashes it over his knee and writes with tongue bitten concentration. All this talk of arrest and policemen has reminded him he wants to speak to his MP.

Following today's ugly 5 Year auction, and hot on the heels of the 180 degree EUR reversal from this morning, coupled with the renewed surge in gold and silver, the entire bond complex is again in free fall (and no, Build America Bonds has not and likely will not be renewed in its current form), lead by the 30 Year. And if this was based on an expectation of real rates rising, as the pundits would claim, which would be an expectation of economic improvement, then gold would not be flirting with its all time highs. Which means that today's market action in every asset class is representing the economy accurately, especially following the 4th consecutive home price drop be Case Shiller... every asset class except for stocks of course. Then again, with volume once again abysmal (MVOLNYE just under 1,400), HFT/Fed levitation programs are the only thing that is trading 100x P/E hot grenades as per always.

Quick nurse, I need a POMO stat!
$10 billion mg.
in the ass of course.
Of course. Would they have it any other way?
Now where is that emergency tube of K-Y I keep handy?
Definitely bring our own KY to any function involving the Fed. Lord knows that Benny and Co. will only use their KY if they can throw a handful of sand in it first.
A very large move ( 0.25% in a single session), on the 30 year long bond, that should have created a LOT of financial commentary, speculation as to the 'meaning' or 'portents'....first i saw was HERE
However, HERE, shows it took ONE MONTH to go from 4.25 => 4.50% why the major discrepancy ?
He's Dead Jim!
My Favorite: "It was worse than dead. His brain is gone!"
With Gold and Silver pushing the highs and 30 yr bonds pushing the lows, Bernanke's balls are in a proverbial vise and he'll soon be handed a razor to set him free.
Nice visual.
They'll make a movie of it of course and it'll be set in a cave in Utah.
Not to worry...these are not the droids you are looking for...The Ben Bernank will fix everything.
"All hail Ben"
Have you met his bud Dover?
He will complete the process in the usual manner.
All the reporting all the chatter about this and that truly means nothing, all that matters is the trend. It's all rigged for now to the upside people. You might as well turn off your TV, stop searching for financial news as it's all meaningless.
That's right.. and Uncle Ben made sure of that trend with QEII in Nov.. ohhh wait... nevermind..
just buy the fucking dip
"just buy the fucking dip"
I swear to god I am going to spray paint that on the bernank's tombstone. Mind if I add "bitchez" just to let everyone know where it came from?
The PMs often peak on Tuesday. I ask all those trading metals to read this:
'Trading' metals? No I dont trade PM's, buying them as at least some measure of safety against this entire disaster around us.
I hear ya, SheepDog. There are some, however, who are making a few fiat by trading options and mining shares. Today or tomorrow would be a good time to lighten a little.
I just bought a 100 ounces of silver today, from APMEX, me thinks Silver and PM's will end the year at higher highs.
i believe your behavior will continue to be replicated and your predictions realized.
Oh ya this reminds me, your blog, why do you write stuff by hand on it? More curious than critical..
Zero, some folks seem to really like it. I've been told it gives the site some "humanity". I don't know about that but I've kept doing it because its easy.
So, do you also take a picture of the chart(s) on a wooden table, digitize them, and fax them to your website? (long-standing joke on http://thedailywtf.com/).
Charlotte Isertbyt is an Jones, so I am putting gold on hold. What a day though eh Turd!! What do you think about my call last night for miners, I am sure you read it before the move ;)
I will read that post later on the Turd's Watchtower Blogosphere Spot.
Turd, are you picking up any buzz from the LME? We live in interesting times....
So what do we do next? Personally, The Turd will try to lighten some positions here, either later today or at the open tomorrow
with all due respect, Turd, i like your blog a lot, but this strategy will work until it doesn't; then, where to get back in?
we are nearing a new year, which brings with it new portfolio allocations from all types of investors. it is difficult for me to believe these portfolio changes will include less precious metals.
in other words, back up and realize that you should only be adding to long positions on technical sell-offs at certain times. the 'fundamentals' are still intact, and the 'technicals' will continue to be used as a means for weak hands to transfer positions to strong hands.
...don't grow a brain, my friend.
and keep up the great work!
Just think what we'll be spending on debt servicing as rates climb for the Treasuries (and of course munis, corporate bonds, etc). And as fatigue climbs the supply increases. A toxic mix. What a cocktail TPTB have concocted.
NO problem at all for bullshit equities, as they correlate to absolutely nothing anymore! Well, enjoy because that wont last much longer.
...especially following the 4th consecutive home price drop be Case Shiller...
And as Reggie Middleton points out, Case-Shill doesn't show the real (more negative) picture, because the model leaves out a ton of inconvenient data.
Did Reggie mention the Richmond Fed number that blew away estimates and is showing some impressive strength in manufacturing?
Did Reggie mention strong retail sales figures reported today?
Did Reggie mention that he's been dead wrong on AAPL as it continues to hit new all time highs?
You sound a little desperate. Rates got you spooked, bullie?
Hey tough guy, leave my nephew alone. He is up 3% YTD in his practice Forex account this year which is about 20% better than my mentally-challenged son.
Hey but Wanger is beating the margin spread on his over priced Chinese junk he sells at those stores.
Oh yeah, Harry is beating his margin all right. No one spends that amount of time informing everyone how stupid they are without a marginal Woodie in hand.
Marginal woodie? Is that SDS? small dick syndrome?
So Harry...
Manufacturers are producing more goods; while inventories build because consumers are slowing their purchases; all the while margins are getting squeezed.
And this is supposed to be good news???
geez, Wanker...get a life
Wanker, don't you really belong on the
Yahoo message boards circa 2000?
He was there along with Douchinger before Douch got pissed off and took his marbles and went home because he was constantly having to argue with other people who had varying opinions.
Harry will only see the truth when "The Bernank" stops the flow of debt based liquidity... and it shouldn't take the new Tea Party Congress long to pull that off.
I wouldn't count on it too much. The Tea Party is a small subset of the Republican Party and the Republican Party isn't much changed since '08 when they bailed out the bankers and handed us the bill.

"The Tea Party is a small subset of the Republican Party and the Republican Party isn't much changed since '08 when they bailed out the bankers and handed us the bill."
The Republican campaign platform for 2012 has been delineated and it is, literally, a giant stone statue come to life. A plodding re-reun we've all seen many times, every voter knows this Mesozoic melodrama by heart.
In "Tax Cuts R Us" a dinosaur, trickle-down tax policy hooks up with some ruinous pork barrel borrow and spend initiatives and they spend the rest of their lives trying to escape another lethal round of GOP deregulation of the financial markets.
The message of this antediluvian, 'booty flavored rice ball' is simple in the extreme: A hideous creature has taken over people's minds and the result is a demented GOP mockumentary called "Tea Party Agitprop: Change You Can Believe In".
nice commentary
notice how the Rethug Senators vote for the Obama program, which is basically "death to the people"
the Tea smokers were infiltrated by manipulative statists ever before their first big ralleys
voting, Ron Paul and the Tea Scammers will change nothing, except the flavor of hopium/divide and conquer on the Sunday morning shows
Then what?
The damage has been done. Trying to unwind this mountain of debt with max. pain and suffering through taxation and higher rates would even make the tea baggers run for the hills in Alaska where they probably belong.
Good grief.
The fucking problem is entitlement, socialism, unfunded liabilities, fantasy budgets and so on.
Unless the tea bagger's great plan is to destroy all society as we know it, they have no other options but to keep with the program and "pretend and extend".
FYI. Tea baggers are going to put the next fucking war loving, war making President in the White House.
That is the fucking strategy all along. Just follow the money and see who is funding the tea baggers.
Are you really that stupid that you need to get DUPED again?
You certainly seem to have been duped. Are you on the Nobel peace prize awarding committee?
I just saved $200 on car insurance!
or dbl post
Here's a clue for you, free of charge
The same people that made it their concerted effort to put George W. Bush into the WH are now pumping the propaganda of the tea baggers.
Politics are like the market and the parties including the tea baggers are like stocks.
The tea bagger IPO was quite remarkable. The promo efforts were great and well sown.
People are taking the bait just as they took the bait on GWB. The rise of GWB, Karl Rove's ministry of propaganda and the surge of "reborn" Christians and mega churches in the US were not a coincidence. The churches campaigned for GWB and made an effort to rally the American "faith based" community for a stupid and expensive war that served only one purpose.
Sorry kiddo, but that's how the cookie crumbled. I have to admit though, their propaganda was darn well packaged and executed.
Now, having said that. I don't need your lecture on the community organizing duh-dolt President that is probably less American than the teleprompter he needs to spew his propaganda.
It's all the same.
i have to tell you, I support the tea party entirely, but i agree with your analysis to some degree. Yes, there are powerful forces that are seeking to hijack and derail the movement.
the military industrial complex is making a Lenin-esque powerplay to protect themselves.
"The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves."
— Vladimir Ilyich Lenin
however, there is a libertarian element to the tea party which is anti-war. further, a great deal of tea party supporters are simply for smaller government (reduced federal powers/laws/intervention) and a return to a society that more closely represents that which is outlined in the U.S. Constitution.
of course, none of this matters as long as we remain enslaved within a debt-based monetary system.

Hartsell Leads Stren Series Bass Fishing Tournament on Sam RayburnHartsell Leads Stren Series Bass Fishing Tournament on Sam Rayburn Toby Hartsell of Livingston, Texas, caught a five-bass limit weighing 15 pounds, 10 ounces to lead day three of the Stren Series Central Division bass fishing tournament on Sam Rayburn
JASPER, Texas (March 24, 2006) - Pro Toby Hartsell of Livingston, Texas, caught a five-bass limit weighing 15 pounds, 10 ounces to lead day three of the Stren Series Central Division bass fishing tournament on Sam Rayburn Reservoir.
"I'm just going fishing," Hartsell said of his pattern. "I'm hitting lots of areas with several different lures, but I plan to buckle down and fish my two best spots tomorrow."
Hartsell has been throwing an Eakins jig as well as a Senko, Trick Worm and an imitation of the Chatterbait. Most of his bass have been prespawn fish caught over grass beds.
With a top-10 finish already added to his list of eight previous top-10s, including a fifth place on the Wal-Mart FLW Tour, Hartsell is in the hunt for his first win with FLW Outdoors.
Rounding out the top five pros are days one and two leader Chris McCall of Jasper, Texas (five bass, 13 pounds, 8 ounces); Jason Reyes of Humble, Texas (five bass, 12 pounds, 6 ounces); Cody Bird of Granbury, Texas (five bass, 12 pounds, 4 ounces); and Trent Huckaby of Fort Stockton, Texas (five bass, 11 pounds, 1 ounce).
Bill Guillory of Jasper caught the day's largest limit at 22 pounds, 5 ounces to lead the Co-angler Division in the chase for a top award worth as much as $35,000, including a 519VX Ranger if contingency guidelines are met.
Guillory, who fished with Huckaby on day three, said the duo started out fishing shallow, but soon had to move to deeper hydrilla beds to catch their bass. Guillory's heavy limit came on spinnerbaits and Carolina rigs tipped with Zoom plastics.
Rounding out the top five co-anglers are Tom Medlock of Licking, Mo. (five bass, 15 pounds, 13 ounces); Bill Rogers of Jasper (five bass, 12 pounds, 13 ounces); Brian Branum of Longview, Texas (four bass, 12 pounds, 3 ounces); and Phillip Hudnall of Newkirk, Okla. (five bass, 9 pounds, 15 ounces).
Stren Series tournaments are four-day events consisting of three rounds. The entire field competes Wednesday and Thursday, and the top 20 pros and co-anglers - based on two-day accumulated weights - advance to day three. Anglers start at zero Thursday and compete for 10 spots in each division in the final round. Winners are determined by the heaviest accumulated weight from days three and four.
Grow your fishing skills and improve your angling effectiveness.

Hagel Throws Obama Under Bus During Congressional Hearings
(WND / Worthy News)-- Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel apparently isn't going to let the Obama administration throw him under the bus in the Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl scandal. In fact, you could say just the opposite.
In his opening statement Wednesday at a hearing of the House Armed Services Committee, Hagel made a point of saying it was President Obama "who made the final decision" to swap Bergdahl for five top Taliban leaders.
"Mr. Chairman, I want to be clear on one fundamental point – I would never sign off on any decision that I did not feel was in the best interests of this country. Nor would the president of the United States, who made the final decision with the full support of his national security team."
The administration recently implied the final decision was made by Hagel. -- Source

What is being reviewed?
Blurex has built a reputation for itself for selling some of the most affordable, yet well made cases for tablets. We did a review on the company's Ultra Slim Folio Case for the Nexus 7 a few months ago, and loved it. One of Blurex's latest creations is the folio case for the 7-inch Kindle Fire HD. Priced at only $5.99, this is one of the best cases you can buy on the market today.
Disclaimer: The Blurex Ultra Slim Folio Case and Kindle Fire HD was provided to GadgeTell for the purpose of this review.
The Design
Blurex created the Slim Folio Case from the same materials it uses for its other cases designed for tablets such as the Nexus 7 and Samsung Galaxy Tab. The front and back of the case is wrapped in synthetic leather, and the interior is lined with a microfiber interior. Even though synthetic leather is not considered "real leather," it still carries a premium feel when held. The case also cannot be scratched or stained easily. When the Kindle Fire HD is placed inside the case, it looks and feels like you're holding a leather-bound book. This can be a nice optical illusion for those who don't want strangers to immediately know they're carrying a tablet.
This case also doesn't add much bulk to the Kindle Fire HD. I was able to fit it into a pair of straight legged jeans (33 length, 32 waist) with minimal struggle. The struggle I did have inserting it into my pocket was mostly due to the wide nature of the Kindle Fire HD as opposed to the Slim Folio Case.
The microfiber interior of the Slim Folio Case is very soft and ensures your tablet's screen or back panel won't get scratched when closed. The microfiber also gives your hand something comfortable to rest against while the case is flipped open. Whether you're holding the Kindle Fire HD in portrait or landscape mode, you'll find the flap on this case to be quite sturdy. This is one area in which Blurex made an improvement over its Nexus 7 Ultra Slim Folio Case. Gone is the elastic band that needed to be wrapped around the corners of the Nexus 7 to keep the front flap from slipping out of position. The front flap on the Kindle Fire Slim Folio Case can stand on its own without any additional components.
The Functionality
Another improvement Blurex made deals with the case's functionality as a stand. Instead of needing to remove two of the case's claw-like clamps to free the tablet, the Slim Folio Case can immediately be converted into a stand without tinkering with anything. You can angle the Kindle Fire in three positions. Each position brings the angle of the tablet closer to the ceiling.
Amazon designed the Kindle Fire HD with the ability to turn on and off with the assistance of a magnet. Blurex made sure to include this feature with the Slim Folio Case. Every time you close the case, the Kindle Fire HD will automatically go to sleep. You'll have little reason to push the tablet's somewhat hidden power button once you get this case.
I did encounter an issue when trying to close the case. It won't fit over the Kindle Fire HD without some extra muscle. Blurex appeared to have made a slight measuring error in this case. It does get easier to close the more you do it, but I wanted you to know this is something you will encounter. At least you'll know it'll take some effort for this case to accidentally pop open.
Here's the bottom line. Despite the difficulties with closing the case, you are not going to find a better case for the Kindle Fire HD for only $5.99. Blurex is very good at creating cheap cases with a premium feel. I have seen similar cases sell on Amazon for well over $20. You won't regret this small purchase.

Kate Upton's "leaked" Super Bowl commercial is already sparking controversy before it's even aired.
The new Mercedes-Benz CLA ad shows Upton wearing cut-off shorts and a black tank top "washing" the new car while a group of males stare slack-jawed at her. Technically, the guys are washing the car while Upton struts slowly past and never actually touches the vehicle.
The commercial has swept through social media and the Internet, with the video already receiving millions of views.
One group condemns the ad for using Upton's sex appeal to promote the car. "This ad [reinforces] for millions of wives, daughters and sisters across the country that you use your sex appeal to get what you want," a spokeswoman for the Parents Television Council said. "If anything, this ad proves that we've regressed rather than progressed over the last several years."
Although reports were that the video was "leaked" before its air date on Feb. 3, Mercedes-Benz posted it themselves on YouTube.

When we breathe, we take in oxygen and give out carbon dioxide and water vapour. Nature has a wonderful way to maintain equilibrium to make sure there is always enough oxygen to keep us alive. This is how plants help us through a process called photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use up carbon dioxide from the surrounding air and water in the presence of sunlight, to create glucose, which they use to live and grow. This process is most important for the survival of all the animals on earth because plants give out oxygen in the process, and the glucose and animals use sugars that are created, as food. As a result of this, plants are called autotrophs, or organisms that produce their own food.
Did you know? Plants appeared on earth millions of years before animals did. If plants had not released oxygen by photosynthesis, animals that breathed oxygen would not have evolved and we would probably not be alive!

Before there was Comicon, the Star Trek Convention, or even Historical Reenactment club meetings, there was the Salon de la Chimie.
Now, I do know that this is actually a valid and important scientific convention and not simply an event in which people dress up like Albert Einstein and shout "Eureka!" at each other. However, based on poster alone, I can tell that those attendees were probably just as geeky back then as we are today about live action roll playing.
I mean, let's consider just the graphics — it's a beaker 'distilling' a strain of international flags, while also growing an anthropomorphic hand that is subsequently shaking a much tinier globe in greeting.
Through some bizarre amalgamation of traditional symbolism, I'm sure this means 'oh yes, we are scientists coming together in world peace;' yet, I'm still stuck on the fact that a beaker is coming to life, gripping the world in its glassy mitts, and digesting a flag-scarf.
If that isn't nerd-humor at its strangest, I'm not sure what is.

Altera ships industry's highest density FPGA with embedded transceivers
Post a comment
Altera has begun shipping the Stratix II GX family's EP2SGX130 device, which is currently the industry's largest FPGA with embedded transceivers. The EP2SGX130 features more than 132,000 equivalent logic elements (LEs), giving designers ample logic resources to implement multiple protocols or highly complex intellectual property (IP). This enables designers to address multiple markets and customer requirements cost-effectively with a single device. In addition, 20 fully functional multigigabit transceivers in the EP2SGX130 device make it ideal for PCI Express bridging and multiple-port line card applications.
Where board space and power are primary considerations for device selection, the Stratix II GX FPGA family offers 20 channels of the industry's lowest power transceivers, with 6.5 watts less power dissipation at 6.375 Gbps than the nearest competitor. The Stratix II GX FPGA transceivers' optimized signal integrity has been demonstrated for boards and backplanes using FR-4 materials at over 1.25 meters length, thus lowering OEM system costs and improving manufacturing yields. These low-power transceivers also lower cost by reducing cooling system complexity and associated equipment maintenance expenses.
Altera notes that it is the only FPGA vendor that designs its high-density devices with redundant circuitry to ensure high yields and, in turn, readily available parts. The EP2SGX130 device, also available in RoHS-compliant packaging, is the second member of the Stratix II GX FPGA family to begin shipping to customers. The entire portfolio of Stratix II GX FPGAs is on track to complete its rollout this year, with a complete ecosystem of multiprotocol IP, design materials, evaluation boards and EDA tools available on Altera's website at www.altera.com/stratix2gx.
