Questions & Answers
My unemployment benefits are about to end in a couple of weeks. I have diligently sought employment and to date have been unsuccessful. Can I receive an extension for unemployment benefits and if so how do I apply??
I am currently collecting my nj unemployment and reside in sc. My benefits expire in 2 weeks. I understand that there are no extensions given out in nj at this time. I have been looking for work (sending out apps every week since i rec'd unemployment) in sc and nothing is available. My last job was with Verizon in sc. Would I be able to file unemployment thru sc once my nj benefits expire?
Hello, my mother was laid of along with the rest of her company because they moved the company to China, she was there for 15 years, they gave her unemployment for 13 weeks, it is hard for someone her age and being that all she did for 15 years was work on hearing aids at her company, is there any type of unemployment extension she can receive?
Hello I've been collecting unemployment benfits since January of 2017 I'm about to run out how do I apply for extended extension and will I be able to get the extension thanks
first time on unemployment. I have filed and started receiving claim and can do so until September. I am in school full time. If I am in able to locate a job by then will I be able to file an extension? Thanks!
I have very recently relocated to FL. from NJ. My NJ benefits expire in two weeks. Am I eligible for any extension or tier 1-2-3 from NJ until I secure a position in FL.?
A friend of mine is on unemployment and benefits were to run out in February. He found a part time seasonal job that he worked at for 6 weeks and only collected partial benefits for the six weeks. Does this extend his unemployment past the 26 weeks since he still has money left in his unemployment account?
I have been collecting unemployment benefits since September, and is beginning to get nervous because as of February 2017 it will be over. From the previous questions and answers if seems that there is no extension in New Jersey, is there any other benefits that is available for someone like myself who lost her job after 14 years and is having a difficult time finding another one.
As a follow up for those who are interested, when Unemployment Rate drops below a predefined number, States kill all the Extensions. So, a person who was not able to find a new job within the 26 weeks given is on his/her own. Meanwhile, all the lazy shits who suck the State and Fed dry by sitting on Welfare get everything imaginable. That is the Obama way. Cheers.
After the 26 week UI benefits run out, is there and Extension that can be filed ( Extension of Benefits)?
I am not talking about the Emergency Unemployment Compensation discussed above.
My benefits will be running out in 2 weeks and I'm unable to find work but I was told there us no extension this was my only means of income so what do I do now.I did so many applications for employment no call backs or they are only accepting applications. So I don't know what to do.Unemployment said once benefits running out I won't be able to refile until November because that's when I open my first claim.
I have been collecting unemployment for about a year. I went to file for my benefit and it said that I am no longer eligible. Can I get an extension? I tried calling the number and keep getting a message that says "call back later" or a busy signal. I continue to have problems with NJ's phone system and am unable to try filing again online since I've worked part time in PA.
I collected unemployment for 3 months, looking for work and had some promising interviews, when I started collecting, they said 26 weeks unemployment, but now i'm at 12 weeks, my funds look to be depleted next week. Is this how ibgo to the next tier? I know there are no extensions. .. But how did this happen was it a mistake of the agent I spoke with?
My benefits will be running out at the end of December (26weeks) I have not been able to secure a job. I am considering, enrolling in college to finish my last 9 credits for bachelor's degree. Would I be eligible for an extension?
If applying for a training program, will benefits be extended?
I continue to look for work without success- benefits for unemployment halfway done- getting nervous, is there extensions available if I don't find work, if so what are requirements and process to recieve and extension.
Thank You for any direction

My benefits will run out in November, are there any extensions available?
My current unemployment account is locked so I am not able to print 1099 form. I have made many attempts (at different times (ie 830, 11, 12, 300, 400) during the day to call in but never get through. Is there a better way than wasting my time sitting at a phone all day and calling?
I have been on unemployment since Feb. 2014 and tried to claim my unemployment benefits and was denied, stating that a claims assessor needs to review my claim. I have counted the weeks and have been on unemployment for 26 weeks today. I have been applying for jobs and going on interviews, but when the employer asks if I have any health conditions, I do tell them I am pregnant and now I am completely showing. I never get a call back from the employer, I am sent a letter telling me that they have found a more qualified candidate. I do not know what to do, I don't know if I completed the online form incorrectly or if it because of the 26 week period. Can someone please help me out as I am stressed out about bills and this new upcoming baby on the way.
My 26 weeks unemployment ended June 2014 are their any extensions for me

If Tier 2 ends on December 21st and the last day to file is December 28th, will it automatically go to Tier 3 for the last week of filing?

Do we know yet if any emergency tiers will be available after December 31, 2013?
I HAVE ABOUT 2 MORE WEEKS LEFT OF REGULAR UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS. i WAS TOLD I WILL BE RECEIVING TIER BENEFITS UNTIL 12/28/2013.After which i would be on my own. can you advise. i was advised to then apply for welfare.
Hi….I just ended 26 weeks of UI – I've read that you can collect 63 weeks in New Jersey – but when I read about the Tier extensions it says they end in December 2013. In my case, 63 weeks would go until June 2014? Will it continue or end? Thanks, it's so confusing!
No one will know if it continues until that date. Yes, it is confusing to many.
My wife was laid off and enrolled in school. Will her benefits be extended until she completed the program (18 months total) in June 2014?
My claim was one year old effective 9/23 am I eligible for extended benefits
Also, when do we get this notification of eligibility? In the last week before unemployment benefits end or before that? Or do they notify us after benefits expire?
At the very end of your claim, call the unemployment office. I do not think a notice will be sent (if it is sent) until the claim is totally exhausted.
I have 2 more weeks or so left of my regular benefits. Will I have to file for an extension and how do you determine who is eligible for an extension? Is there any way to know beforehand?
At the very end of your claim, call the local unemployment office. There is a short application for the extension and it can be done over the phone. As far as knowing beforehand, you could google the topic and get an educated guess but that's all it is.
I have one more week left of my regular Unemployment Benefits. Once this is done do I have to reaaply for an extension or will they automatically extend my benefits?
Hi Samantha,
If you are eligible for an extension, unemployment office will send you a notice of eligibility along with a monetary determination, which provides your benefit detail.
I am just ending tier 1 for euc benefits. Do u get all four tiers? I was also told i wud get benefits til dec21013. When shud u get ur notice that u r eligible?
Went to file unemployment today. I had $ 2400.00 left on tier 2 two weeks ago. Went to file and it said I have no unemployment remaining. I only collected 48 weeks. Hope you can answer this for me. Everything I see says 73 weeks total. Thanks….
Hi Barry,
There have been cuts in the budget. As EUC is federally funded, this new sequestration has led to reduction in the funds allotted for EUC. This link my help you out.
I was collecting unemployment under euc. The last notice I received stated I could collect till December 2013. I spoke with someone two weeks ago and was told the same. My last balance I collected was 143.00. I tried to file this morning and it stated I had call due to changes. Any idea if I am still about to collect. Unemployed since 4/29/11. Didn't start collecting till 8/1/2011 due collecting a package. Thank you
Hi Brenda,
You appear to have run out of benefits. Yes, the EUC benefits are available till Dec, 2013 but you seem to have exhausted your tiers. You can check with the unemployment office for a formal reason.
How will the latest announcement of NJ unemployment rate of 8.7 affect those who will need to collect on tier 4?
Hi Jimmy,
With the unemployment rate below 9%, Tier-4 may not be available to unemployed New Jerseyans.
Isn't the tier 4 9%rate based on a three month average.. So if you are close to collecting on it, you should've fine. I think it's the people that will start to be on it in a few months , if the rate continues to fall, those are the people that won't get it… Since its based on a three month average and currently the 3 month avg is still over 9… Since this is the first month it's been below 9%.
Are the any unemployment extensions available for those considering going back to school?
Hi Tisha,
I'm afraid, there aren't any extensions available. If your schooling doesn't interfere with your ability and availability to work full time then I think there is a possibility.
I am waiting for information to qualitfy for tier 2 which they said were gonna send last week and I have not recieved anything, is there a way to apply via on-line?
Hi Angela,
Since you have completed your Tier 1, go ahead and claim your benefits the same way. You will be carried on to Tier 2 or you will receive a notification stating your ineligibility. You can do it online at https://njsuccess.dol.state.nj.us/html/uimain.html

Italian energy company ENI signed a deal on Wednesday to hand over 50 percent of its stake in its Elephant oil project in Libya to Russian giant Gazprom in a deal worth around 170 million dollars.
The stake amounts to 33.3 percent of the consortium developing the Elephant oilfield in Lybia's south-western desert, some 800 kilometres (500 miles) from Tripoli, according to an ENI press release.
The deal, signed by ENI head Paolo Scaroni and Gazprom head Alexey Miller during Russian President Dmitry Medvedev's meeting with Italy's Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, will have to be approved by the Lybian authorities.
ENI and Gazprom also agreed the deadline of February 28 for a sale agreement for gas which will be produced in the Siberian fields of Severenergija.

Considering increasing volatility and uncertainty, without combining and automating operations, and marketing requirements to optimise supply chain, mining companies are likely to experience low profit and productivity, in addition to poor product quality
It has been observed that mining companies that did not streamline their supply chain management processes from pit to port, during the height of the commodities market boom, got less revenue than their competitors.
This should not be surprising.
What has emerged from different views gathered from supply chain industry specialists that African Mining Brief contacted is that most of the mines that registered lower profit margins had (sadly still have) a disjointed supply chain management system. For instance, there is a haphazard or virtually no coordination between critical areas such as planning, production accounting and others. Basically, what are supposed to be managed as different parts of a whole are operated autonomously.
Unquestionably, a mine's efforts to optimise its supply chain can only be effective once it identifies unique challenges across its operations and devises ways to manage them. It has to be noted that, in mining, supply chain also includes inbound issues, in particular, managing the supply chain or incoming maintenance parts.
Main challenges
In an interview with African Mining Brief, Ansophie Strydom, Senior Manager of Integrated Communications at SAP Africa, underlines three main challenges which mining companies face – optimising mine operations, sales and supply chain management and operational risk and compliance management.
- Optimised Mine Operations: Eroding margins from lower-quality reserves and inefficient extraction, production, and supply chain processes from the boom years.
- Sales and Supply Chain Management: Missed revenue opportunity due to lack of visibility into product assays, transportation networks, and situational factors in dispersed locations.
- Operational Risk and Compliance Management: License to operate at risk due to ineffective documentation of compliance with constantly changing regulations and the need to maintain safety and training protocols in dispersed locations.
Practical approach
Whereas determining mineral resources and prices in the current volatile times is entirely of its hands, at the very least, a mine should be able to effectively manage the resource-to-market chain. So, to effectively address the common challenges they face, Strydom suggests that mines should adopt five main ways to optimise their supply chain. "The following steps are critical: Profitably drive volatile commodity sales, globally manage complex supply chains, gain insights into operations, safely optimise asset performance & utilisation, and last but not least, simplify IT to unlock business innovation."
The "one-size-fits-all" myth
Strydom dispels the popular misconception of "one-size-fits-all" in supply chain management across the diverse portfolio of minerals. However, she says, instead, standardised supply chain business practices that should be adopted across the board.
"Adoption of standardised practises enable mining companies to address the current market realities. More importantly, such business practices must be delivered via a single technology platform that can serve as a platform for business innovation," she explains.
Specifically, Strydom believes the following supply chain management technologies could prove handy to mining companies:
- Leveraging the Internet of Things for delivering real time insights across the supply chain
- Connected Supply Chain for Pit-to-Port
- Leveraging Big Data to drive greater insights and more effective decision making
- Embed Mobility in all business processes
- Drones for measuring and surveying stockpiles
A necessity
Supply chain management optimisation should be a necessity, Strydom recommends. Considering increasing volatility and uncertainty, without combining and automating operations, and marketing requirements to optimise supply chain, mining companies are likely to experience low profit and productivity, in addition to poor product quality, she warns.
"As margin pressures from inefficient and expensive production processes are worsened by volatile, difficult-to-predict commodity prices, leading mining firms must rise to meet the challenges posed by legislative limitations, strict regulations, and safety, environmental, and local community concerns," she says. "They must streamline their operations while continuing to innovate."

Nothing different from whatever I was going to do anyway. (Probably not marry that person).
Hahahaha ... that actually happened twice ...
In the first case, that was my ex GF and she did not have a rosy relationship with my mother, and I had a fairly bad time dealing with all the little "fire works" between them ... that went on for about 3 years, and it did, strangely, end quite peacefully, because the ex went back to HK after graduation ...
In the second case, it was my wife (the current one, also the first one, heehee), because, fitting her star sign, she has a very strong personality and often very bossy, and my mother had "warned" me about her ...
I have recently heard a case like this:
A girl, in her final year of Uni, received some gifts from this guy she met at school, and they have not started dating yet, her mother asked her, does this guy have car and house, if not, dont marry him ... expectedly, she'd got very upset about her mother ...
So, in most cases, it came down simply to "reason", rational or otherwise, and how you choose ... they might have some pitiful excuses or reasons, or perhaps some unreasonable expectations of your GF or your future marriage, you will need to understand and give them some explanations with your decision ...
As Gavin said, you can choose your spouse, but not your parents, so whatever decision you made, you will need to live with the consequence, and dont ever say things like "you were right, I should not have married her" or similar, which would hurt your marriage, as well, it will in some ways give them more control over you future decisions ...
i will marry him,cuase thats my life,if i really love him ,he cant be so bad,but why do you have to marry,love each other is more important isnt it?
i ll consider about him for a little while make sure he is the one. if i am so sure about it,i will work on it.trying to talk to my parents.
as my bf says nothing comes easy.
so keep working on it.
this is one aspect of china that I can not agree with. Sorry, I understand it all however, parents are just people and believe that nobody has the right to make me feel bad about which person I choose to be with. Even if I am wrong. Because, that is how we learn, by making mistakes. i think some chinese parents are far over protective.
Bedtyger, I couldn't agree with more with u. Parent should give advice and their opinion and leave the decision to the child.
But, as Bedtyger said, in China and some part of Asia this is a serious problem, ur parents are the one to okay and decide on ur partner. Mostly in China once u've got Beijing or Shanghai Hukou, a car and even a 20sq meters apartment, u will be accepted by parents.
I remember a church member (a lady in her 30) of mine approching me, crying and lost, I asked her, what's up? She said, my bf is from Shangdong, he is and IT guy, he earns 6krmb, I love him. But I decided to introduce him to my dad, and my dad asked me: Where is he from? I said Shangdong, does he have an apartment in Beijing? I said not yet. How much does he earn? I said 6k.
Her dad said: He doesn't have Bj Hukou, he makes little cash, he doesn't have a house, he doesn't have a car, stop dating this boy, otherwise I'm gonna divorce your mother!
As a good chinese lady, she had to give up her love in spite of the advice I, the High Priest gave.
Now, she met someone from Skype, a German boy, who just has a second hand car in his homeland, still living in his parents home, not making up to 6k as her ex bf, and I saw her parents in Germany spending 3 months and celebrated the wedding of their daughter...
Wish them happiness
我dady ,mummy 不会那样的。
If this question does'nt sound childish,
you could as well marry your parents.
agree with MIKE
I wait until my parents die then i marry her.!!!!
i tell them to go to hell.................they already had fun together.its now my turn so they should respect my decission. and i know they will.........if they LOVE me
I'm pretty sure my parents' disgust for my lifestyle of career bachelorhood is greater than their potential dislike for any warm-blooded animal I might bring home for holiday dinners.
to marry him later(maybe after my parents all past)
I'll say, "suggestion well received, thank you. If I get divorced in the future, then you win, and I'll treat you two a big dinner~"

An interview with Eva Rodriguez
Originally from Brazil, Eva Rodriguez now lives in Spain where she is a modern, successful escort. In this candid interview, Eva shares her thoughts on health, marketing, and men.
Welcome, could you tell us about yourself, which part of Brazil do you come from and do you miss it?
Hi, thank you again for inviting me to this interview. I come from huge São Paulo. I miss my family, the weather and fruit juices.
What do you enjoy about living in Spain?
The food, the life quality, the security (that we don't have much where I come from) and especially the freedom of going out alone and don't be hardly harassed and disrespected in public spaces by being a beautiful woman.
Do you consider yourself to be a feminist?
Absolutely! Although many people still think that because you're an escort you shouldn't say it and some even think that we have to accept all kinds of requests and say 'yes' to all men's wishes. Not anymore.
What do you feel are the main skills you have that have contributed to your success?
My ability to not be carried out by certain people/situations. I've always put my health (mental and physical) and my personal safety in first place, even if this made me lose many clients. I'm a good marketer, I'm always reinventing myself and working as an escort helped me to know myself better. I'm Eva and Eva is part of who I am... It's more than time for us to deconstruct moralists and religious prejudices that only put women down.
How do you prepare for a client?
Mint breath, a good shower followed by body lotion and good perfume, sexy lingerie (Brazilian g-string), a classy-sexy dress, good high heels and some make-up but not too much, I prefer a bit of a natural fresh look.
I always teach them when they allow me but some of them need more constant classes
What is it that makes you stand out?
I'm not fake and futile, I'm a book with a beautiful cover and a nice content inside. The right balance between being hot but also someone who men can talk with about almost everything, they feel very comfortable with me. A truly GFE, when we meet they feel they have found a girlfriend and feel pleased and delighted with a passionate sex, a sexy lap dance and a wonderful massage! What else do they need?
What do you like/dislike about your job?Likes
- Money and freedom of time
- Fancy lifestyle: good restaurants, 5 stars hotels, exclusive wine and champagne and the opportunity to combine work/fun/leisure travels
- Meeting interesting men from different nationalities and learning with and about them
- To shock people and society sometimes, breaking paradigms
- When they let me to spank them and being well payed for that... Priceless!
- When I meet a client I have connection with and I have orgasms with him... Priceless - I make money and orgasm. Feel the power of a pussy!
- To have to hide and isolate myself sometimes because of what I do and can't talk openly about it
- I love sex and men, but unfortunately due to bad porn influence very few men know how to please a woman in bed. I always teach them when they allow me but some of them need more constant classes - LOL
- Last minute bookings when I'm busy
I make money and orgasm. Feel the power of a pussy!
Australian male escort Alex Vuitton has told us that sometimes clients just want someone to listen and have genuine human contact. Alex referred to this phrase "... the role of a good escort can be related to that of a psychologist". Would you agree to this? If so, is this a difficult aspect of your work?
I've read his interview, Alex is hot, he's my type! When I get old I will hire escorts like him to wake me up with a pussy licking alarm clock. And absolutely, we are non recognized psychologists. For me now this part it's not that difficult, it used to be when I've worked for clubs and agencies, because I had to deal with a lot of unhappy, frustrated, traumatized and sick people (girls and guys) but being independent gives me more control.
What are your top 3 tips for someone wanting to see an escort for the first time?
Hygienics - Take a good shower (wash under your arms and genitals) and brush your teeth properly, please.
No porn show - Sorry to disappoint you, I'm very good in sex and enjoy it a lot but it doesn't mean I like you grab my boobs as if they were oranges and you want some juice, fingering a woman is an art so don't think I like when it seems you are trying to stick your 5 fingers inside me, don't lick my face like a dog and don't jump on bed as if you were riding a horse. Grabbing my hair and spankings only if I authorize, please ask before doing it. I will appreciate that SO MUCH;
Respect - NO is NO. Agree everything in advance with the escort, tell about your preferences and ask her/him if they can please you in that way.
Did you change your view about men after becoming an escort?
Not really, I always knew men were stupid. I just realized they are more than I've imagined. Lol
On your sites blog, there is an article explaining that men pay for time with woman, even if it is not an escort. Following on from this, how do you feel about women who use internet dating to go on dates simply to get free dinners?
This is great. I also do that.
Do you think escorts are respected in western countries in the same way that Japan respects Geishas?
Not at all. I hope we are in our way as countries like Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland had legalized it but there is still a loooong way to go and to stop hypocrisy.
With the regulation of this activity it would be much easier to control human trafficking
Is there anything the the governments could do to improve working conditions of escorts?
Yes, again in the topic: to legalize it. Men won't stop buying sex. With the regulation of this activity it would be much easier to control human trafficking, which I find the biggest cruelty in the world, and also we will become official taxpayers which is an amazing benefit to any government. With that money it would also be possible to create institutions to take care of escorts and their clients health, everybody is still ashamed to talk about that and the girls have no trust and freedom to talk to some doctors openly about everything.
Sex for money (with condom, your own rules) = Illegal— Eva Rodriguez (@evabrazilian) March 27, 2016
Sex for money in front of cameras (no condom, fucked in every hole) = Legal
You have a very appealing website, use twitter, and post on sites like 69eroticos.com. This seems like a modern approach to marketing yourself. Has this proactive approach helped you in finding clients? How do you feel about escorts who don't market themselves in this way?
Yes, it helps me a lot but for something more important than quantity: quality, I meet very nice and interesting men. Escorts who don't market themselves are liable to accept anything that comes and to have to do all types of services that are requested to them.
something more important than quantity: quality
You must have had technical challenges with building your website website, making video's etc. What were they and how did you overcome them?
Yes, many, I got really pissed off with my previous SEO manager as he took way too long to do things + he didn't have enough knowledge to do all I needed but this is sorted now, I've hired a new agency and it seems they are doing a good job. About the videos and photos of course I don't do by myself, I hire a professional photographer and editor. But I'm also in charge of doing many things such as writing posts and text pages, managing my Twitter account, doing link building, some edition, checking trends, etc.
We admire your short video 'Eva's Walk', you look very sexy and elegant in that footage. Is there any interesting trivia around that? Did anything funny or unexpected happen while shooting?
I love having a good quality video in my website, so this way clients can believe that my photos are real. Nothing unexpected, it's nice to see the final result but it gives a lot of work! It's so many hours recording tapes, doing same poses and so on, that's why models need to be well paid too!
What do you think about Escortdeck?
A really good escorts search engine with good quality content. I also like these interview posts a lot. Pity it's only for UK...
By the way, I love English men, kisses to all! X

Huddersfield have snapped up Danny Adams, but allowed Akpo Sodje to leave.Huddersfield Town have snapped up left back Danny Adams, but allowed Akpo Sodje to leave.
Adams (pictured) has been on trial at The Galpharm Stadium after his release from Stockport County.
Town boss Peter Jackson has wasted little time in securing Adams until the end of the season.
"That position has been problematic for us all season and I have brought Danny in to see what he can do for us until the end of the season," said Jackson.
"He has experience, he's aggressive and he's good on the ball and it is down to him to prove that he warrants an extension to his contract."
Meanwhile, Sodje has completed his loan move to Darlington.

It looks like Ed Sheeran's going to release a new album today
All the signs are pointing to a new album from the folk-pop superstar, and we couldn't be more excited about it
And, it wasn't hard to find all the signs, really.
When the new year kicked off, Sheeran posted this to Twitter:
And we have to say, that's pretty much when we knew.
Nothing too cryptic there, particularly when you notice the text in the image above, which is the banner on his social media feed...
But as the week rolled along, we got autobioraphical lyric teasers, a feel for the colour scheme, and even a clue of the next 'maths themed' title in his album series...
That's right, today Ed's new album Divide (which will be styled as '÷') is set to be released at 5am GMT, which is later this afternoon in Australia.
Of course, Nova will be the first place to hear it.
Will the first track feature the lyrics below? Is his leg OK now?
Can't wait.
The Australian Open kicks off today and already Nick Kyrgios is finding himself in the headlines...
Erica O'Donnell went viral yesterday when she took a reporter's question way too literally
The tennis bad boy has made headlines after his t-shirt got political in a post-match interview...

Mitsubishi Motors Corp. has declined to divulge what its future plans are for its Dutch car assembly plant after production of its only two models, the Colt minicar and Outlander SUV, had been shifted to other countries. Beginning in 2013, Mitsubishi's plant in Thailand will make the Colt replacement. Meanwhile, production of the next-generation Outlander had been moved to Japan.
This may very well mean the closure of the 44-year-old NedCar factory, where output dropped to around 50,000 units last year from over 250,000 units in 1999.
The capacity of this two-shift plant is 200,000 cars. Automotive News Europe asked Mitsubishi Executive Vice President Gayu Uesugi about the plant's future at the Tokyo auto show last week.
He explained that he is unable to answer this question due to its sensitive nature. He added that there are so many things that have to be considered. He said that the due to the strengthening yen, profit would be negative if the export is done from Japan.
He explained that taking on a "holistic view" meant that its timing is difficult to attain. Mitsubishi Europe CEO Akinori Nakanishi said that a decision will be made soon.
He said that unions have been told that the company will get those models early in 2011. According to Lance Bradley, managing director of UK Mitsubishi importer Colt Car Company, there isn't much difference between the cost savings from assembling the cars in the Netherlands compared with making the cars in Japan.

Q: when driving the engine temp goes up to 120 C when the air is on on 1996 Mercedes-Benz E320
when it is hot outside the engine temp goes higher when it is cool it hovers at a little higher than 100 C what is wrong?

It could be many things, unfortunately and without experiencing the problem first hand or being able to do some basic diagnostic tests its hard to say. It could be a weak fan clutch, a thermostat that is not fully opening, a restricted radiator (not allowing coolant to circulate through all the cooling tubs of the radiator) or even the possibility of a mildly blown head gasket. Hard to tell without being able to do some basic tests.
thanks Patrick! I will do that right away...

Patrick hit the nail on the head. I would recommend having your vehicle diagnosed sooner rather than later to avoid damaging any other components.

FBI tells Oregon refuge occupiers to leave as authorities set up roadblocks
Law enforcement officers set up roadblocks Tuesday night around the headquarters of the occupied Malheur National Wildlife Refuge hours after one of the takeover's top spokesmen was killed and other leaders were arrested on a highway out of town. FBI officials told those still at the compound, about 30 miles southeast of Burns, that they were free to leave and should do so. By midnight, few people appeared to have taken up the offer and the lights were still on. Only a few people had left, said Gary Hunt, who arrived Sunday from California to support the occupation. "The rest have decided they're going to hold their ground," he said. Hunt -- a board member of Operation Mutual Defense, a network of militias and patriot sympathizers – left the headquarters late Tuesday and talked to The Oregonian/OregonLive while parked six miles from the refuge. Among those still there was Ammon Bundy's wife, Lisa. She told those at the compound that she took a call from her husband after his arrest and he described some of what happened. Hunt said there was confusion among those remaining at the compound and he wasn't certain who was providing leadership. The protesters anticipate that law enforcement will take action against them, he said. "They've got their observers out," he said. In recent days, it looked as if about 40 people were staying in the buildings, including women and children...more

text: I just got one of the subs a few of my friends have on their systems with good results. AR 12" Powered sub.. Well the box looked like it was deilivered by Ace Ventura. So I decided to make sure it worked, had Indiana Jones in from the new box set, the sub was flap'n in the breeze on the new THX trailer at reference levels with the sub running a little hot. (slightly louder than true calibration) Of course the rest of the movie was fine, as was some hard core fusion music, and I even put in another disc to listen to the old Dolby trailer and it was fine. Just wondering if any 12" powered subs meet THX2 Certification these days? If so which models? Of course running a 15" Velodyne, I never had cause to give the new trailer any real thought before. But if a movie is going to run those types of frequencies hard, it does indeed seem the sub anti has been raised. Ihad nearly given up on 12" Subs anyways, but this may be the last straw for me with them. Thanks in advance as always, John S

Things have been hectic as of late, but I think the downtime has been a huge boost for me, from a motivation standponit. It gave me some much needed 'vacation' from blogging nearly every day for the past year and a bit.
To make up for the downtime, I'm going to try to whip up something special for you guys over the next week or two, as well as put up the Moments of the Week tomorrow, before getting back on track with your regularly scheduled programming on Monday.
I know you guys have been chomping at the bit with the lack of updates, so I'll cut this shot and let you get to the reviews. Enjoy!

New Ways To Die continues along with this issue. Last issue ended with Anti-Venom attempting to 'absorb' the radiation out of Spider-Man (the same radiation that gave him his powers).
Picking up right where that left off, Anti-Venom continues to suck the radiation out of Peter, but not before the Thunderbolts cleanup crew / nameless soldiers come in and collect Venom. This causes Anti-Venom to release Spider-Man, as he "wasn't finished" removing the symbiote from Venom.
There's some interesting reveals about Anti-Venom here. Apparently, it's not a symbiote or, at the very least, has no weaknesses like the original Venom or other symbiotes have. By this, I mean it is immune to both fire and sonics, as evidenced by the attacks by Songbird and Radioactive Man (he ignited the air with flames after super cooking it with radiation). Is he just a new breed / evolved form (I choose you Charizard!) of symbiote or is this something completely different, possibly created by Mr Negative? It'd be odd if it was so similar to a symbiote if it ends up not actually being one.
Another thing revealed about Anti-Venom is that it will not function like the Ultimate Venom symbiote. As we see in the current Ultimate Spider-Man storyline, whenever Ultimate Venom is near Ultimate Spider-Man, it causes Spidey pain and messes with his powers. Similarly, Anti-Venom, most likely due to sucking out Peter's radiation earlier in the issue, causes Spider-Man's powers to go haywire.
The other big happening this issue was the fight between Menace and Norman Osborn. Previous fights with Spider-Man had me thinking Menace was like the original Hobgoblin, in that he had the gear, but no super strength. He just didn't put up any kind of fight with Spider-Man on the physical level. However, this issue shows Menace can clearly take on Norman one on one in a fight (although Norman was definitely pulling his punches and measuring Menace up).
The fight didn't reveal much, but it's still hinting heavily towards Menace being Harry Osborn, but I'm sure that has to be a swerve. They even have Harry 'late' for his meeting with the Frontline crew, which he doesn't show up to until after the fight. I don't think I want Harry as a Goblin again, as it would defeat the purpose of bringing him back as Peter's friend again, but there's not really anyone else Menace could be at this point...
In the end, though, the story doesn't really go anywhere. We have fights, Anti-Venom sucked Peter's radiation out, which just adds a new weakness when fighting with him, and the Thunderbolts were jobbed out to Spidey and Anti-Venom. Granted, only Songbird and Radioactive Man were present (Venom was taken out last issue), but it still made them seem overly incompetent when those two are probably the most level headed and capable characters on the team.
One last thing of note was Norman finding Peter's webbed up camera after the battle. They find this camera with all these Spidey photos, figure out it has a homing chip to auto-focus on his chest emblem and the only possible solution they can come up with is that Peter Parker is fronting for Spider-Man's photos? No one believes Peter is Spider-Man? Does Mephisto's magic drop everyone's IQ 50 points, too?
Verdict - Check It. It's mindless fun and very little story. Sets up some interesting quirks with Anti-Venom (change that name already, jeez), but I don't see anything that screams 'must read' to me and I probably won't be sticking around after this storyline unless something drastic happens.

This issue took the train off the tracks for me. It just has far too many references to obscure stories I didn't read. I feel like I'm missing half the story here and I don't like that. There's referencing past stories, which is a nice addition, and then there's overly relying on past stories to the point of alienating new readers. I'm falling into that latter category on this one.
What is it I'm talking about? Well, just about everything with the Question is news to me, including her being the leader of some cult, a cult I have no clue about, talk of prophecies (Crime Bible maybe?) and most of her relationship with the Spectre's host, Crispus Allen.
For instance, I have no clue what's going on with this Spear of Destiny, the cult, why the Question is after them, where they came from, what they're after or who any of them are nor why I should care about them in the slightest. Are they new to this story? I ask because I've never heard of them, but I'm being treated like I should know all about them and feel like I'm out of the loop for not.
On the Spectre side of things, I still have no clue why he wants to kill Montoya. God, obviously, doesn't want him to kill her, as the Spirit of Mercy (who?) shows up and stops him from going through with it and Crispus doesn't want to kill Montoya, who he knew in his former life and made it known as such, and the only reason she's going to be killed is because she's the leader of some cult, which she's been fighting for a while and doesn't want any part of. So, I ask, what the hell is going on here? Why was he trying to kill her again? And is the Spirit of Mercy new? Should I know her?
Finally, the issue ties into Final Crisis by having the Anti-Life Equation induced people trying to assimilate Montoya, Spectre unable to do anything against them (protected the same as Libra according to Mercy), Vandall Savage being pierced by the Spear of Destiny and turning into Cain (yeahbuwha-?) and Montoya being teleported to where Batwoman was, who now has fangs and is controlled by the Anti-Life Equation.
Verdict - Avoid It. I'm tempted to say Check It, as this might make some sense to people that have read several obscure mini-series, but as one of the few tie-ins to a major event at DC and at a higher cover price than normal, this issue just does not cut it for me. There is some promise here, but I'm not sure if I want to stick it out to see it through to the end. The art, however, was excellent. Best part of the issue, by far.

The eyeball stealing / Corps family killing murder mystery gets wrapped up pretty quickly and with little to no fanfare. I was expecting some big thing to come out of this attack on the Corps' families, but it ends up being a group of five identical siblings, calling themselves the Quintet and all members of the Sinestro Corps, who perpetrated the deed.
With the aid of
All this seemed to be a way to show off Saarek's 'talk to the dead' ability and the story felt like filler or an after thought - a mean's to an end, if you will. The only major developments to come out of this involved Kyle Rayner and the scarred, female Guardian.
Like last issue, Kyle continues with his morbid drawings. Last issue had a picture of a dead Green Lantern and this issue has him drawing a bleeding eyeball in the center of a the Green Lantern symbol. Still not sure what's going on here. Parallax influence from his battery?
On the Guardian side of things, the scarred Guardian continues to act on her own by recruiting Saarek to track down and speak with the Anti-Monitor's corpse. Is she trying to get rid of him, seeing him as a threat with his ability, or is there another reason for this? She's been shown with the Black Lantern Corps symbol in her eyes and has been acting quite insidious since being scarred by the Anti-Monitor, so I assume this is going to be some kind of act to further the Black Lantern agenda.
Verdict - Check It. Main story is rather uninspired work, but the subplots and foundation being layed for the Blackest Night are interesting.

"Yeah? Well, my God has a hammer." I think that might be the quote of the year.
Secret Invasion #6 is a lot like SI #4. It has a lot of talking heads and big promises that help hide the flaws in the issue. For instance, a large chunk of the issue dealt with the Skrulls announcing their victory on television, which they just did last issue. I assume it's supposed to indicate a passage of time, but it left me confused, seeing as the entire invasion feels like it takes place over the span of an afternoon.
Then there's the 'widescreen popcorn flick' action, all of which comes off as sound and fury and all that jazz, which is ultimately meaningless in the grand scheme of things. Take the Noh-Varr opening pages. I have no clue what's going on there. Did Noh-Varr attack Captain Marvel or is it random that he comes out of the flames? What is the point of those segments anyways?
Then there's the whole two page spread of New York destroyed. Who cares? We've seen that a million times. Hell, it's been destroyed every 6 months for the past 5 years, if not more. Civil War, WWH, New X-Men (Morrison version), Disassembled and dozens of other battles have done worse than this. Add in the retarded human's calling everyone fascists and it felt like a waste of space.
Despite these problems, I still found myself really liking this issue, but it mostly comes from the sense of anticipation for the final battle more than from the actual issue itself, much like the promise of Captain America and Thor joining the fray from issue four. The interaction between Cap and Thor was nice, but far too brief.
However, I don't see Bucky bantering with Thor, as Bendis is wont to do with every character he writes (banter that is). I just don't think he would joke about Thor and how he was supposed to be dead when questioned as to who he was since Thor had heard Steve Rogers died, but that's nitpicking at this point.
I'm a little confused at the Skrulls choice of tactics, though. Soon as the heroes' gathered in Central Park, why didn't they just nuke it from orbit? Done and done. No fuss, no muss. Oh, yeah, we need a big super battle to end this.
Last major 'reveal', if I read this write, is that Wasp is a sleeper Skrull. That kind of comes out of nowhere and the whole sleeper agent thing is coming off as very sloppy and lazy writing on Bendis' part. He could pick anyone out of a hat at this point and it makes sense with his contrived plot. There's no build up or hints towards any of these reveals and it's just shock value at this point.
Verdict - Check It. I was pretty negative throughout this review, but there's a lot wrong with Secret Invasion which warrants repeating, especially when this, and most every, issue is built on those negatives. If you've been enjoying the series up until now, you'll love this issue. If you['ve been having issues, like myself, this is an improvement over previous offerings, but there's very little actual story here and, even as setup, there's little of note happening. Heroes gather, Skrulls gather, fight next issue is all you need to know.

With this final issue of the SI: Runaways / Young Avengers team-up, I think it's safe to say that it has been a resounding success.
While not an essential tie-in, by any means, this was a perfect team-up between two of my favourite teams and I think Yost did an excellent job with all of the characters, even if the story skewed more towards the Runaways than the Young Avengers.
The basic story for this mini-series is that a small Skrull platoon has discovered Hulkling, who is the prophesied uniter of their race and rightful ruler of the Skrull Empire, was alive and if the rest of the Skrull race found out about this, it could put the invasion, which is built on religious crusade-like fanaticisim, into jeopard if Hulkling claimed leadership and ordered them to stop.
As such, they've set out to do the sensible thing to stop - kill Hulkling - despite his not wanting to claim that roll as leader. This leads to the current predicament where Xavin, a Skrull on the Runaways team, is forced to fight his former teacher and mentor, who has come to kill Hulkling.
The final issue of this mini finishes up this fight, spotlights most members of both squads and is a must read for fans of either team. My favourite part of the issue has to be the continuation of Speed and Molly's relationship (no, not that kind of relationship sickos). They have a nice brother-sister dynamic and Molly's reaction to being dropped off at Mount Rushmore at the end of the issue was priceless.
However, this series was pretty much Xavin's story and they did a great job shedding light on the character. He was mostly just sort of there and I considered him mostly "Karolina's Skrull boy/girlfriend", since he was more like a setpiece than a character in the Runaways book, but this series made me appreciate the character a lot more.
Verdict - Must Read. Great fun for any Runaways or Young Avengers fan. No required knowledge of Secret Invasion, other than knowing Skrulls have invaded, is required.

Secret Invasion: X-men is shaping up to be a lot like WWH: X-Men, which is a good thing, in my opinion. Like most SI tie-ins, this isn't essential reading, but it's still a fun read watching the X-Men working together to fight back against the Skrulls.
The bulk of this issue deals with the X-Men mounting gorilla warfare hit and run tactics against the Skrulls, who have them outnumbered and outgunned with their Super Skrulls.
In fact, the only time we really go outside of these fights is for the Cyclops peptalk and for Nightcrawler's talks with "God" and these scenes serve to add some much needed fleshing out of the story to contrast the bulk of the action. Nightcrawler's scenes, in particular, are intersting when juxtaposed with his Catholic faith and I look forward to seeing more of these scenes in the remaining issues.
The only problems I have with this issue are the same as the first one - the Skrulls here, outside the Super Skrulls, are so different in the way they act compared to every other story. It's a small qualm and probably only something I'm really hung on, so I'll try not to harp on it too much in future issues. Things like the religious orb Nightcrawler has stolen and simple things, like the tactics being used and actions of the Skrulls compared to other issues, like Black Panther or Runaways / Young Avengers, etc.
Verdict - Check It. It's solid action, unique artstyle (although a little weaker with facial expressions this time around) and the X-Men being the competent team that's trained their whole lives for these types of situations make this a fun read. Definitely a must read for any Nightcrawler fan.

Wow, after two subpar and lackluster first issues, I can't believe how much Bendis has turned Ultimate Origins around over the course of these last two issues. It's like a whole new event and these stories are actually interesting and worthwhile additions to that live up to the "Ultimate Origins" moniker.
This issue shows us how Nick Fury returned to the US military and began to make his new power base that would later lead to his appointment as the Director of SHIELD.
Basically, Fury roamed for a while after being subjected to the Super Soldier experiments. At first he blamed everyone else for his problems, but eventually accepted the fact he was the one that betrayed his country's trust and was off looting during the war. He then re-enlisted in the army and decided to be the best soldier he could be, which ended with him being injured and in the hospital, where we started the issue with him talking to Thunderbolt Ross.
Now that the military knew Fury was still alive, they set him up as the head of the new Project Rebirth program and allowed him to recruit whomever he wished in hopes of making a new Super Soldier serum.
That leads to the recruitment of several key characters from the Ultimate Universe, including Spider-Man's father, Richard Parker, a fresh out of college, Hank Pym, Bruce Banner and Sue and Johnny's father, Franklin Storm.
This team was given Nick Fury's blood and told to reverse engineer it. Franklin Storm eventually leaves the team along the way to work at the Baxter Building project, which was seen in the origin issues of Ultimate Fantastic Four's first arc.
From there, it's revealed Bruce Banner believes he has cracked the Super Soldier serum. While Fury has forbidden human testing of any kind, Hank Pym convinces Banner to test the serum. Pym wanted it tested on himself, but Banner decides to use it on himself first, just in case it fails.
As expected, this is the birth of the Hulk, years earlier than we were led to believe. Furthermore, this violent birth causes the death of both Richard and Mary Parker, who were on scene with their newborn son, Peter. Hulk actually reverted to Banner when he saw the baby, which was followed up with a kick in the face by Fury, demanding to know what the hell happened. Fury takes the baby Peter and tells him he's lucky he's so young since he'll never remember any of this.
The issue ends with the present day crisis of the weird obelisk objects appearing all over the world. One takes possession of Sue Storm and informs everyone that they are the Watchers and are here to, well, watch. What are they here to watch? Well, that invovevs "the coming devestation", which I imagine will have a lot to do with mutants based on the backstory we've been given about them so far. Maybe a climactic war between humans and mutants? Ultimate Registration Act? I know it's Ultimatum, but we've been given very little to go by for that story.
Oh, who am I kidding? Ultimatum's by Loeb, it'll be a murder mystery followed by random guest stars of the most popular characters in the universe all drawn by a super star artist and ends with some retarded twist that makes no sense. Why am I even hoping for more than that?
Verdict - Must Read. Ultimate Origins has turned itself around and I'm almost ready to call it the event of the year. That wouldn't take too much work at this point, but it's still been exceptionally good these last two issues.

The you-are-there story of one of the most ferocious small-unit combats in US history....
As part of the massive Allied invasion of Normandy, three airborne divisions were dropped behind enemy lines to sow confusion in the German rear and prevent panzer reinforcements from reaching the beaches. In the dark early hours of D-Day, this confusion was achieved well enough, as nearly every airborne unit missed its drop zone, creating a kaleidoscope of small-unit combat.
Fortunately for the Allies, the 505th Regimental Combat Team of the 82nd Airborne Division hit on or near its drop zone. Its task was to seize the vital crossroads of Ste Me're Eglise, and to hold the bridge over the Merderet River at nearby La Fie're. Benefiting from dynamic battlefield leadership, the paratroopers reached the bridge, only to be met by wave after wave of German tanks and infantry desperate to force the crossing.
Reinforced by glider troops, who suffered terribly in their landings from the now-alert Germans, the 505th not only held the vital bridge for three days but launched a counterattack in the teeth of enemy fire to secure their objective once and for all, albeit at gruesome cost. In No Better Place to Die, Robert M. Murphy provides an objective narrative of countless acts of heroism, almost breathtaking in its "you are there" detail.
No World War II veteran is better known in 82nd Airborne circles than Robert M. ("Bob") Murphy. A Pathfinder and member of A Company, 505th PIR, Bob was wounded three times in action, and made all four combat jumps with his regiment, fighting in Sicily, Italy, Normandy, and Holland. He was decorated for valor for his role at La Fie're, and is a Chevalier of the French Legion of Honor. After the war, he was instrumental in establishing the 505th RCT Association.

Eeh, I'm luke warm about it.
Likely not. It was very mechanical. In some ways I suppose that could not be helped given the subject and the use of personal diaries or journals to tell most of the stories.
Only if they: 1. Have an extreme interest in WWII. 2. Have an even greater interest in the Battle for Normandy. 3. Have actually been to Normandy and have seen the places in the book.
Overall the narrator was not unpleasant and his voice had a good cadence and tone. However, I really disliked the way he would pronounce the French villages and the inflection he would use when he did it. It's not that he tried a corny French accent. It just would have been better if he didn't try say them using the French pronunciation. It would have sounded better to just say them like an American does.
No, I think it's too cut up. As an overall account it had no real flow to it because its an amalgamation of short stories that, while interesting for someone like me, just wouldn't make a good screen play.
I am an extreme WWII reader/listener and I have always been drawn to the Battle for Normandy. If I hadn't been to see the places written about in this book I doubt I would have liked it at all. I will likely listen to the book again just to see if it was worth it based on what I learned from it? That said, the book is hyper detailed at times and will likely turn off most listeners who just want to hear a fluid account of what occurred on and after 6 June 1944.

Mole Control Images
This is a picture of the mole that caused all the damage to gardens, fields and flower beds. The mole is a lot smaller than people first imagine, they may be small but they sure make a mess.
The "Duffas" style mole trap is the most commonly used mole trap amoung the professional mole catchers, They can be set on deep or shallow mole runs in soft sandy soil or in hard stony soil too. The duffas mole trap has a very strong spring which instantly dispatches the mole. Click to see a video > Dean Setting Duffas Mole Trap > Dean Checking Duffas Mole Trap
The "Taplex Mole Trap" is used mainly on very shallow mole tunnels or on problem moles which have become trap shy to the Duffas style. The Taplex mole trap enables the mole catcher to back fill the mole trap after setting.
The "Scissor Mole Trap" has been around for years, this is the style of mole traps that the traditional mole catcher would have used, they are not used so much by today's mole catcher, however some mole catchers that do still use them and they can be helpful on very deep mole tunnels.
These mole hills all popped up between 6 – 10am, just goes to show how quickly the mole can establish itself in a matter of hours!

Alternative Title: external realism
Learn about this topic in these articles:
major reference
Although several realist disputes seem to turn on whether statements of a certain kind are capable of being objectively true, it is far from obvious what being objectively true amounts to. The question of what it is for a statement to be objectively true has itself been a focus of realist-antirealist disagreement.

International financiers do not want the general public to look at the validity of the system. If the public were to understand that the global banking model is a destructive one, then they might demand the erasure of the model and its institutions entirely. The elites don't want that. What they want is to be free to conjure crisis after crisis after crisis; to have the option to collapse the system only to replace it with something nearly identical but potentially worse. They want to create chaos so that greater centralization can be purchased in the future through mass fear.
The investment world has a distinctly short attention span. Frankly, it is a necessity. If daytraders, hedge funds and other horses in the carousel actually had to look beyond the next week of market activity or look back at market history in comparison to today, then they would not be able to retain their blind optimism, which is exactly what is necessary for them to continue functioning. If they were all to look at the global financial situation with any honesty, the entire facade would collapse tomorrow.
Ultimately, it is not central bank stimulus and intervention alone that drives equities and bond markets; it is the naive faith and willful ignorance of average market participants. There is a problem with this kind of economic model, however. Reality is never kept in check indefinitely. Fiscal truths will be exposed, one way or another.
How does one know when this full spectrum shift in awareness will occur? Well, there's no science to help us with that. While basic economics is subject to the forces of supply, demand and mathematical inevitability, human psychology is another matter entirely.
In the past I have made a point to outline similarities in responses to various economic crises. For example, the media response and public perception at the onset of the Great Depression was a highly unfortunate exercise in false optimism. The response just before the credit crash of 2008 by the media and the masses was much the same. It is interesting to note in particular that the mainstream media tends to become more over-the-top in its certainty of economic stability the closer the system comes to collapse. That is to say, the closer we come to financial crisis, the more violently the mainstream media attacks people who suggest that danger is on the horizon.
Notice any striking similarities between the mainstream rhetoric of 2006/2007 and the mainstream rhetoric today? Notice how emotionally aggressive and almost desperate the media becomes when maintaining market faith rather than looking at the situation objectively as the fundamentals begin to overwhelm investor complacency?
To be clear, while mainstream economists are almost always wrong, independent analysts are not prophets. We cannot provide the exact timing for the economic shifts we see coming. All we can do is provide a general window in which the events are likely to take place. Peter Schiff's predictions on how the housing bubble and the credit crisis would play out were absolutely correct, even though he was about six months to eight months off his timing. Again, this is not an exact science; human psychology has the ability to offset market fundamentals for months.
The supposed "catalyst" for the 2008 crash is primarily attributed to the fall of Lehman Brothers. I highly recommend any of the "bullish" analysts out there arguing today that the central banks intend to prolong a stock rally indefinitely examine the statements made in the mainstream about Lehman and by Lehman leading up to their eventual death rattle. Then, take a look at recent statements made by tactics used by Germany's Deutsche Bank.
Specifically, take note of Lehman's use of accounting and derivatives gimmicks and the cycling of funds through various accounts in order to make the company appear solvent. Then, take a look at revelations coming out of places like Italy that Deutsche Bank has been using the same model of false accounts and market manipulation, once again, with derivatives as a main tool for fraud.
Also notice the same outright dismissals of all pertinent evidence that Deutsche Bank might be suffering a capital shortfall, as Chief Executive John Cryan blames "speculators" for the companies losses. Lehman's Dick Fuld and Bear Stearns' Jimmy Cain both blamed "speculators" and "rumors and conspiracies" for the fall of their companies during the derivatives debacle. It would seem that history doesn't just rhyme, it sometimes repeats exactly.
Below is a rather revealing chart from the folks at Zero Hedge comparing the collapse of Lehman Brothers stock value to the steady decline of Deutsche Bank. Check it out:
To be clear, Lehman was no catalyst. It was only a litmus test for a system completely devoid of tangible value and drowning in toxic debt. Lehman was a part of a much larger problem, it was not the cause of the problem. The same is true for Deutsche Bank.
The panic growing around Germany's second largest financial institution, Commerzbank, as it moves to lay off nearly 10,000 employees and suspend its dividend is another crisis indicator separate from Deutsche Bank. The clear solvency issues in Italy's major banks, including Monte dei Paschi, are yet another explosive element.
Keep in mind that when these edifices begin to crumble and Europe enters a state of financial emergency, the mainstream media and governments will continue to blame speculators and they will claim the entire disaster was set in motion through a "domino effect"; the first domino probably being Deutsche Bank. This will be a lie. There is no line of dominoes. One bank will not be bringing down the other banks — yes, there is terrible interdependency, but the real issue is that all of these banks are falling due to their own cancerous behaviors. The very system they are built around is corrupt and unsustainable.
International financiers do not want the general public to look at the validity of the system, they want the public to view collapse events as an oversimplified case of cause and effect.
If the public were to understand that the global banking model is a destructive one, then they might demand the erasure of the model and its institutions entirely. The elites don't want that. What they want is to be free to conjure crisis after crisis after crisis; to have the option to collapse the system only to replace it with something nearly identical but potentially worse. They want to create chaos so that greater centralization can be purchased in the future through mass fear.
I continue to maintain as I always have that central banks around the world are shifting strategies and will do very little to intervene from this point on in the propping up of insolvent banking groups or equities markets. It is very unlikely that Germany or the European Central Bank, for example, will move to infuse Deutsch Bank with capital. It is also unlikely that any central bank will move to openly stimulate markets until an equities crash has run its course. In fact, some central banks including the Federal Reserve may act to expedite a stock crash — watch for this to occur if Donald Trump attains the White House.
This has all happened before. It happened in 2008 when the Federal Reserve stepped back and allowed Lehman Brothers to go bankrupt. It will probably happen again when the German government and the ECB refuse to back Deutsche Bank. The noose is tightening on the global economy and, once again, the mainstream media is too biased or too dumb to see it. They'll accuse the alternative media of crying "doom and gloom," and perhaps our timing will be off. But exact timing will not really matter once the house of cards begins to topple. If we stick to our positions and refuse to be intimidated by rhetoric, the time will come when people will only remember that we were right for the most part and that the mainstream media was incompetent or dishonest.
In the meantime, we have a whole swarm of other trigger events before the end of the year, including the Saudi 9/11 bill which I predicted in my article The World Is Turning Ugly As 2016 Winds Down would be vetoed by Obama and then the veto overturned by the Senate. This has now taken place, which means increased Saudi tensions with the U.S. resulting in the eventual demise of the dollar's petro-currency status. Watch the coming Italian constitutional referendum which could pave the way for conservative movements to initiate an Italian version of the Brexit. Also keep an eye on Syria yet again as diplomatic conflict flares between the U.S. and Russia (gee, who didn't see that coming?). And, of course, the U.S. presidential election which appears to be culminating into the most divisive political event in America in decades.
Ignore the insane positivism of the mainstream media and a large part of the equities trading community. Their fantasies only grow more elaborate the closer we get to instability. And remember, economic collapse is a process, not an overnight affair. The progression of global decline should be apparent to anyone paying attention since 2008. The only question is, when will the average citizen become aware? My feeling according to current trends is, very soon.Print this post

143 reviews
Sep 02, 2004
Although we also highly recommend Safari Helicopters tour of the waterfalls of Kauai, Hawaii, they also do a great job touring Hawai`i Volcanoes National Park and the active Kilauea Volcano on Hawaii's "Big Island" of Hawaii out of Hilo Airport. In September 2004 my wife and I thouroughly enjoyed our Safari Helicopter Tour of the active steam vents and lava flows of Kilauea Volcano. Safari Helicopters films your flight for you with 5 cameras mounted on the outside of the very comfortable ASTAR 350 B2-7 helicopter with huge glass windows for viewing. The website now claims they have upgraded from VHS tape to DVD recording of your flight, while most competitors that advertise a "free video" that was made years ago. It is dangerous to hike out onto the active lava flows due to the sulfur gas so viewing by helicopter is much safer and the view is spectacular.
We also recommend the following activities at Hawai`i Volcanoes National Park: Driving the 11-mile circle around the Kilaeua Caldera from 1983, stopping to eat at Volcano House Restaurant (especially at sunset when the sun sets in the steaming caldera, also where the author Mark Twain ate), driving to the end of Chain of Craters Road, and stopping to see Thurston's Lava Tube which is a cave-like old underground lava flow tube covered in green moss and vegetation.

ATLANTA -- Peter Bondra wishes the best for Washington, just as long as his former team isn't playing the Atlanta Thrashers.
"No disrespect to the Caps," Bondra said. "They played a good game tonight, but we fed off the crowd with the signing of Ilya Kovalchuk."
Bondra got the best of his former team for the second straight night, scoring two goals and adding an assist to help Atlanta beat the Capitals 8-1 on Saturday night.
The Thrashers put their home opener out of reach in the third period as Scott Mellanby, Serge Aubin, Marc Savard, Marian Hossa and Patrik Stefan each scored a goal. Savard finished with four assists. Aubin had two.
The victory completed a successful day for Atlanta, which re-signed Kovalchuk, the team's all-time leading scorer, to a five-year contract worth approximately $32 million. Kovalchuk's first game could come Wednesday against Montreal.
Frustration boiled over for Washington, which had 19 penalties. Team captain Jeff Halpern earned the last two calls for roughing.
"I think there was frustration that there was a lot of contact on the goalie," Capitals coach Glen Hanlon said. "We'd been warning all night. We were saying, 'It has got to stop. It has got to stop.' We went to the refs three times. Halpern wasn't happy with what was going on, so he went and took things into his own hands. That's why I'm proud of him. That's why he's our captain."
After scoring their first four goals on a power play Friday, the Thrashers took a 2-0 lead with a one-man advantage on Saturday. Bondra's second goal of the season, coming 6:50 into the first period, swept past goaltender Olaf Kolzig's glove side on a 20-foot wrist shot left of the crease.
Bondra now has six points this season against the Capitals, who traded him to Ottawa in February 2004 following a 14-year career with Washington.
"We scored a lot of goals, a couple on the power play," Bondra said. "We did the little things right and got rewarded."
Atlanta, which set a single-game franchise record with a five-goal third period, beat the Capitals 7-3 on Friday night in Washington. The previous high for the Thrashers, a four-goal third period, came Dec. 12, 1999 against Tampa Bay in their first season.
Jamie Heward's power-play goal for Washington with 55 seconds remaining in the first period cut the lead to 2-1.
Bondra, however, made it 3-1 at the 14:55 mark of the second. His takeaway, coming just a few seconds after the Thrashers returned to even strength, allowed him to feed Stefan as his teammate skated out of the penalty box.
Stefan quickly passed to Jaroslav Modry, who missed a 50-foot slap shot near the top of the left circle, but Bondra instantly took the rebound six feet to the right of the crease and scored on a backhander.
"Atlanta did a very good job of going to the net," Hanlon said. We have to learn from that and we have to do that. There's nothing in the rules to defend that area. You cannot do anything. If you go straight to the net, you cannot defend the net."
Defenseman Greg De Vries made it 2-0 with a 58-foot wrister he fired from the top of the slot and past Kolzig's glove side.
"Putting goals in the net and having exciting players on your team, it's certainly nice to only have to face them in practice now," Atlanta goalie Mike Dunham said after saving 19 of 20 shots and improving to 2-1. "You don't see it too often, but the last two nights our offense has been clicking."
- Kolzig faced 42 shots.
- With seven power-play goals the last two nights, the Thrashers set a two-game franchise record.
- Capitals defenseman Steve Eminger and Atlanta right-winger Ronald Petrovicky were hit with five-minute majors for fighting with 9:17 left in the game.
- The Thrashers were charged with 14 penalties.
