Tried Googling, couldn't find it.
Can't remember name or artist of dance song.
11 Jun 2013, 22:49 by ChucklebuckWas in the gym the other day, heard a song on the TV, was one of these dance channels, think it was a chart show.
Can't remember many of the lyrics, something about how they're dancing and don't care or something along those line. The video has two girls in it - a tall redhead and a shorted dark-haired woman if I recall correctly - dancing in a club and getting up to all sorts of shenanigans.
Pretty vague, I know, but would be a shame if I never heard it again. My pal mentioned it the other day, but I've forgotten what he said and I doubt he'll remember again when I ask him about it.
A really hard one
12 Nov 2012, 07:19 by emely_jensenSo, I get crazy when I wanna know the name of a song and I can't discover it. I have this song in my mind and I could swear was from Kings of Convenience but it's not. I listened to all of their albums and couldn't find this song x.x So here are the tips, help me to find out:
- Most part of the song it's instrumental, but in the end a guy sings some stuff that I can't remember exactly the words together, if I'm not dreaming involves "i wanna spend my time/life" with you you";
- The song has at least 4 minutes;
- It's REALLY similar to Kings of Convenience;
- It's not an old song (2009 and up for sure);
- There is a piano in the instrumental part or violins or both, can't remember exactly. It's not an electronic style song, so it's not Royksopp at all too.
- It's not Radio Dept., Jose Gonzalez, Erlend Oye and the Whitest Boy Alive, I already checked.
Hope someone can help me!

Blogspot.com is a well-known site, owned by Google, and the warning has everything to do with Anti-Piracy, since many have their own blog on which they share music etc.Podshow by Pixieguts (Australia) and Voide (Sweden). Fresh electronica from, mostly, independent, unsigned artists around the cyberglobe
Stream Of Air!
The server used, which is set up by someone I know, couldn't handle the size of the total content used for a 24/7 stream, it's good enough for a basic simulisten service for which it's originally set up.
it might come back in time, no idea when though. Till that time, all audio used for the stream, the podcasts and the compilation albums, are available for Free Download at these places:

Who Is Webcasting Legal Music And Who Is Not?
25 Sep 2011, 17:57 by CrybKeeperThere seems to be some confusion, as to which webcast radio, music hosting and on demand radio services are actually legal on the web. Many listeners may not realize, these services must ascribe to specific broadcast and performance licenses. Much of these licenses require individual aquisitions of said licenses for each and every country on Earth. Some music licenses are very relaxed, while others are bogged down in multiple restrictions and costly aquisition fees. After much research, this is what I have discovered to be the facts, concerning ten of our presently available music services, thrice in the USA, Canada and in Europe.
Grooveshark: Legal or illegal? 90% illegal and currently dealing with lawsuits from EMI records and many others. Grooveshark is in complete violation in all European countries, as well as Canada. They have some legal permissions in the USA, but this is very little and only covers two major record labels, out of the dozens that are somehow available on Grooveshark. Grooveshark calls itself a radio streaming service, of course, it's not. It's an on-demand service, which makes it more like Spotify than Pandora.
Spotify: Legal or illegal? Spotify are 100% legal and have been so, since their very beginnings. Spotify carry an "On Demand" streaming license. This is a costly venture and is the main reason for so much advertising support on Spotify - they must have it, or otherwise would go bankrupt. Although Spotify kept costs down, by limiting legal service to the United Kingdom, they have recently became available legally, in the USA.
Pandora: Legal or illegal? Again 100% legal, but only available in the USA, as this is the cheapest licensing and royalty percentage on Earth, for random streaming radio services like Pandora. Pandora allows us to create up to 100 unique radio stations, that will randomly play our selected favorite tunes. Pandora is not an On Demand service and also put limits on track skipping monthly, to keep licensing costs down. Pandora has been forced to limit users' free streaming capabilities to 40 hours per month, after which users have to pay $0.99 monthly for unlimited access to song streaming.
Jango: Legal or illegal? 100% legal random radio streaming service. Jango is completely advertising supported and have a global blanket license. This means anyone on Earth should be able to use Jango Radio, barring dictatorial government intrusions in some countries. We can skip tracks as much as we like with Jango, while every so many skips will cause some advertising to interupt your listening experience. Jango recently stated in an e-mail to me, they have no plans for offering an ad free streaming service at the present time.
Playofday: Legal or illegal? Hosting our playlists, this site is new and may be legal, as they are only part responsible for users hosting content. They are protected in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"). Not only can the site itself be sued or taken down indefinitely, if they do not comply with the DMCA and police their own site regularly, performance rights groups and the RIAA can come after them, as well as the sites users in kind.
Jampri: Legal or illegal? Jampri is exactly the same as Playofday site(immediately above), so be careful with using these type hosting sites.
Jamendo: Legal or illegal? Jamendo is 100% legal. We can build playlists of the sites avialable music artist and tracks. You won't find mainstream or major artists on Jamendo, as this site hosts tracks/albums from mostly DIY and independant artists who choose to offer their material for free streaming and even free downloading on Jamendo. Jamendo is a great site for discovering new and obscure music artists from around the world.
Lastfm: Legal or illegal? 100% legal and one of the cheapest subscription radio streaming services in the world. Lastfm is an excellent music discovery engine, offering a wide variety of free downloads, full stream sampling, direct from the artists, major music acts and unsigned artists alike, plus so much more. Lastfm is the largest music catalog on Earth for free or for a very small monthly subscription, of only $3.00 USD. They are licensed globally in all countries. Lastfm are also a music data collection service and music wikipedia, where listeners can help build the site, adding artists images, videos, biographies and their own personal listening statistics. Lastfm is also open source, so members can develop their own aps and offer those to other members of Lastfm. The various ways to stream personal radios on Lastfm, are quite vast and more varacious than any other music site on the web.
Reverb Nation: Legal or illegal? 100% legal, Reverb Nation hosts content, biographies and track streams, that are uploaded strictly by the music artists themselves. RN also offers helpful tools for the musicians to publicize themselves in the music market and to help find new fans, such as press kits, fan club and street team registrations.
Fizy: Legal or illegal? 50% illegal. Similar to the now defunct Seeqpod, Fizy is an extremely bare bones approach to streaming music with a simple search bar. Like Seeqpod, the site offers speedy music video results and audio results, and unfortunately, legally questionable content, so beware!
Top Five Legal Music Download Sites:
#1 - SuperPass
#2 - eMusic
#3 - Napster
#4 - Amazon MP3
#5 - iTunes
Similar Artist Radio vs. Custom Tag Artist Radios
6 Jul 2011, 20:43 by CrybKeeperThe music artists and myself are creating Custom Artist Tag Radios and then getting their fans to listen to those, instead of the not very similar, Similar Artist Radios on their music profiles. It does take alot of work and more than one person must use the same tag, in order to make it a Global tag and streamable within the website.
If you click one of these custom artist titled tags and stream that instead of Similar Artist Radio buttons, this will actually propagate the correct similar artists to the music artists profiles. This is mainly a priority for new music artists and not very well known yet.
I have a few more to create and wait for them to go global, which can take up to two weeks on LastFM, ugh! However, the artists are liking this creative work around, because it does work fairly well. I thought of doing it several months back and have been spreading the word around.
If you're a musician and think your Similar Artists on your LFM music profile are completely wrong, send me a PM and we will create a custom artist tag radio to fix that =)
What you need to do?
First, you want to tag your own artist page with the title of your band/artist and then tag each individual track with exactly the same tag. An example would be metallica tag on the band Metallica. You will want to tag your artist and every one of your tracks with genre tags - as many as are appropriate and possible. So a band named Metallica would be tagged everywhere possible with metallica<--(Insert your band name here), death metal, metal, thrash metal and heavy metal, at the very least.
Next, you will need to decide what other music artists, you feel are very similar to your artist. Go to their profile page and tag them with metallica<--(Insert your band name here), death metal, metal, thrash metal and heavy metal, at the very least. You should do this to at least 3 of these music artists tracks that are available for streaming on LastFM and also do this on/at the very least, 30 other similar music artists in total. This will give your new Artist Title Tag around 90 streamable tracks in it, plus all of yours you have available.
Third, you must find at least one other person, who can tag every single one of these same artists and their streamable tracks with metallica<--(Insert your band name here), death metal, metal, thrash metal and heavy metal, at the very least.
Finally, you can wait one to two weeks for this your new Artist Title Tag to go Global and be playable as a radio through the LastFM web page, Flash radio. However, you can play this immediately, if you install the LastFM Scrobbler Desktop Client and play tags directly through that from your desktop.
The more you, your friends and fans play this Artist Title Tag Radio, the faster your Similar Artists Radio will fill in with the music artists you really want to be there. This will also aid in adding your music artist to those other artists Similar artist radios and over time, this will get your music artist more and more royalty streams on radios at LastFM.
Here are some examples, that will take you to playable custom built Artist Title Tag Radio pages, which include some very nice artist stats as well:
Please click on these name tags and browse around ;-)

Ellsbeth Are #1 In Gothic Metal
1 May 2011, 11:19 by CrybKeeperEllsbeth are female fronted gothic metal, with a slightly Evanescence similarity, but a heavier metal sound. Ellsbeth have 20,000,000 tracks played on My Space and many millions more all over the web. My Space Records chose Ellsbeth as #1 gothic metal band on My Space, 3 years in a row! They have also been in the top 10 listeners favorites on California FM radio and in rotation at radio stations in Canada and all over the USA, from Huntington, West Virginia to New York and Ohio.
For some reason, Ellsbeth have not caught on as well at LastFM. Most likely due to limited ability to promote through this website.
As just one of their publicists, through Adrock Media and Selective Image inc., I have copy distribution rights for their music. I give away free downloads to top listeners on LastFM, so if you honestly like Ellsbeths sound, keep listening and I may send you a surprise gift, or even one month gift subscription to LastFM.
Cheers and hears,
LastFM Powerplay Campaign VS Jango Airplay Campaign
5 Sep 2010, 23:52 by CrybKeeperLastfm staff and CBSi may not like what I am about to write, but the facts are here and the record is clear. I am writing this, as an appeal to Lastfm staff to make the Powerplay Campaign fair and reasonable. As it stands currently, it does not seem fair at all, since Jango offers better for less. Read on...
At lastfm, we have diverse radio options where in, if someone Scrobbles/listens to your music, this will automatically add your band/artist in their library. Once a music artist is in those music libraries and listeners play their music library, there is a good chance you will get repeat Scrobbles, which is cool....as long as they do play their music libraries, of course.
So, I took a look at the Lastfm Powerplay Promotions vehicle and the cost for what you get. I was shocked to find, it is not only expensive, it doens't really do anything special for the artists, that we cannot do for ourselves! I then looked at the Jango campaign, which is not only similar, it offers more features, more statistics and all for much less money!
Lastfm's Powerplay campaign, boasts this claim: Use our unique Powerplay campaigns to promote your artist on Last.fm. I am not so sure, that is true.
Jango lets you choose your own demographics. Jango lets you choose 24 targeted music artists radio, that your music will come up on for airplay. Jangos statistics and listeners data is much more detailed - you will know right away who your new fans are and if they just listened, or loved your track. Jango sends constant and accurate e-mail alerts weekly, so you know which new fans to write and say, "thank you for listening!". After purchasing your Airplay Campaign, you can modify all your targets, in case one track is more well recieved than another.
The images tell all - Something is very wrong with Lastfm : (
Link to Jango Airplay Campaign for music artists to sign up:
Here is what we have gotten for our $30.00 USD after just 36 hours on Jango! Please also take into account, at Jango, we can set our similar artists and add 24 of them if we wish, we can allocate the plays to an unlimited number of songs and move those plays around at any time! Jango radio is just as good as Lastfm radio and we have already recieved 23 new fans, who loved(hearted) our tracks at Jango! Only 36 hours and wow!
Look at the rich and informative statistics at Jango Airplay campaign? Keeping in mind, these can be clicked and hovered and show even MORE detailed data!
'Reality' Doesn't Bite After All
10 Nov 2010, 23:07 by CrybKeeperJust got my advance copy of Woolgather bands second CD, titled Programmes ll - The Reality Principle.
Casey and the guys have went with a little different sound on some of the new songs. Don't let that worry you though; the songs simply have more energy, with a clear and recognizable Woolgather sound. It's immediately obvious, the guys have grown musically and spiritually, giving Woolgather a more mature and even more enjoyable sound. The new album will be available to the public on November 30, 2010, so save your dollars and euros Woolgather fans, because this one is essential, a must have CD in any progressive rock, music collection.
Programmes ll contains 7 tracks in total, ranging from 3 minutes to 9 minutes in length. I will be reviewing just a few here, so as not to spoil the whole experience for everyone reading this. Want you to be pleasantly surprised, as I am sure you will be.
The Kite, has a slightly faster rhythm than what we fans are used to on Programmes l, with hauntingly beautiful vocals, thoughtful lyrics and sensational keyboards. Uh-hm, these guys know how to arrange music, with cymbals at the correct spots and something I haven't heard from Woolgather before - accompanying, growling vox, but they have done a superb job with this, keeping it subtle and well placed, heard but not overpowering. Over all, I would rate The Kite a near perfect track, giving it a 9.6 of 10. This one is pre-released as a single. You can hear it in full on My Space, at this link.
The King's Ransom, will take you back somewhat, to that signature Woolgather sound we all know and love, but with a slightly heavier rhythm guitar and some really cool backing vox, in my opinion. This track is another gem out of the jewelry box everyone. I will be playing this one until my hard drive melts! 9.3 of 10.
Pre-Flight Candidacy is an intro to The Kite and an instrumental song on Programmes ll and it's a perfect mood for a perfect album. It leaves me wanting more and already waiting in anticipation for a Fourth CD from Woolgather. This starts with a nice intro, that may remind you ever so slightly, of Ghost Riders In The Sky, by Marty Robbins, covered later, by Johnny Cash and also The Outlaws. However, Pre-Flight smoothly morphs into something very new and unique, with some really clever instrumental work going on, with chimes, walking cymbals, prancing piano and a familair rhythm and bass. 9.1 of 10.
Over all album rating - 9 of 10. A must have CD!
Woolgather are:
Smooth Operator, Casey Tipton - lead vocals/guitar
Good Vibrations, Eric Stephens - Bass
The Diamond Cutter, Matthew Eads - Drums

Category: Music
When you spend many of your weekdays, e-mailing and phoning DJ's, station managers and magazine editors, submitting artists for airplay, you get a chance to hear alot of opinions on women who like to play metal.
Wish I had a guitar for every time a DJ replied back saying, "I don't play chick bands." I could open a music store! Chick Bands?! How crass is that?
Art is art, music is art and gender should never play a role in wether to accept fine art.
Bands like Ellsbeth, Dig Jelly, Level-C and remember Veruca Salt? These are musicians that bring music to life and perform it with just as much passion and power, as any of us guys can.

Watch Felix Baumgartner shatter world record with 24-mile leap
JohnThomas Didymus
Oct 14, 2012 in
Austrian extreme athlete Felix Baumgartner, has successfully completed a leap from the edge of space, breaking the world record for the highest ever skydive by jumping out of a balloon 128, 000ft (24 miles, 39km) above New Mexico.
Although, he reportedly hit a speed in excess of 700 miles an hour during the fall and broke the sound barrier, any new marks he may have achieved awaits confirmation. According to the
, new marks reportedly set must be endorsed by the Federation Aeronautique Internationale (FAI) before they are official.
Baumgartner's unofficially marks, according to the
: "The Austrian jumped from 128,097ft (24.2 miles; 39km). He fell for four minutes and 19 seconds, reaching a speed of 706mph (1,137km/h)."
USA Today
reports he activated his parachute at 9,500 feet above sea level, or about 5,000 feet above the ground in southeastern New Mexico. The total jump took less than 10 minutes.
According to
The Huffington Post
, as he exited his capsule in preparation for the historic jump at a height more than three times the average cruising altitude for jetliners, he flashed a thumbs-up sign.
The Huffington Post
reports, "Any contact with the capsule on his exit could have torn his pressurized suit, a rip that could expose him to a lack of oxygen and temperatures as low as minus-70 degrees. That could have caused lethal bubbles to form in his bodily fluids."
Felix Baumgartner in the capsule
More than 7.8 million watched on YouTube as he prepared to jump. According to
The Huffington Post
, Red Bull posted a picture of the diver on his knees after he landed. The picture generated about 216,000 likes, 10,000 comments and more than 29,000 shares in less than 40 minutes.
During the ascent to the height of 128,000 feet, he complained about lack of heat in his helmet visor, raising questions whether the ascent should continue. And while he was falling, he spun dangerously but soon managed to bring it under control.
As he ascended, he listened to his mentor, retired Air Force Colonel Joe Kittinger, 84, whose record he was trying to beat. According to the
, Kittinger leaped from a helium envelope in 1960 from an altitude of 102,800ft (31.3km). The url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-19943590 t=_blank]BBC reports that Kittinger's mark for the longest freefall remains unbeaten. He fell for over four and a half minutes before deploying his parachute.
Felix Baumgartner in the capsule that lifted him to 128,045 feet
Baumgartner worked up towards beating the record jump for a few years with major problems along the way.The mission was delayed when promoter Daniel Hogan sued Red Bull Stratos, saying that he thought of the idea of the jump first. However, an out of court settlement was reached last summer.
The jump was postponed because of unexpected winds on Monday and Tuesday. According to
USA Today
, Baumgartner "unaccustomed to freefalling while confined by a helmet and cumbersome suit... started suffering panic attacks and pulled himself off the project. He overcame his fears with the help of a sports psychologist."
Baumgartner told
USA Today
, after a test jump from nearly 100,000 feet: "It was simple stuff. I'd put on a helmet and tell him, from one to 10, how panicked I felt. And in the end, no matter what the number was, he told me my pulse rate never changed. So it was all in my head."
The extreme athlete came to the attention of energy drink maker Red Bull after he jumped off the world's tallest building, Kuala Lumpur's Petronas Towers, 1,483 feet, and then off Rio de Janeiro's 130-foot Christ the Redeemer statue In 2007.
In collaboration with Red Bull, he decided to break Kittinger's 52-year-record.
Felix Baumgartner - freefall from the edge of space
The major risk he took in the jump was going into an uncontrolled spin that could make him loose consciousness and damage his internal organs,
USA Today
Red Bull, which sponsored the event, provided a live Internet stream from about 30 cameras on the capsule, the ground and on a helicopter. The broadcast had a 20-second delay in case of an accident.
According to
USA Today
, Baumgartner said before the jump that he would not be attempting more jumps. He said:"This is the end of my journey. I've always been trying to find my limit, and this pretty much it. For the second half of my life, I want to be a good helicopter pilot. Fight fires. Rescue people. That would be fun."
Baumgartner's mission dubbed "Red Bull Stratos," was sponsored by the company that makes the energy drink.

PLEASANTON, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/06/12 -- Retrospect®, Inc. today announced new versions of the company's Retrospect backup and recovery software for Microsoft® Windows® and Apple® Mac OS® X. These releases feature several improvements, including "Instant Scan" technology that speeds backup and restore operations for Windows and Mac computers, a Dissimilar Hardware Restore add-on for Windows computers, and an all-new Retrospect Client agent for backing up Windows systems from both Windows and Mac OS.
Instant Scan provides Retrospect 8 for Windows and Retrospect 10 for Mac with a significant performance boost by predetermining which files may need to be copied during any particular activity. By handling this process as a background task rather than as a part of the backup process, Retrospect is able to shave valuable minutes or hours off the time needed to complete backup and restore operations. This time savings can be used to back up additional systems, provide breathing room for future growth, or back up critical data more frequently.
Retrospect 8's Dissimilar Hardware Restore option for Windows provides the capability to restore everything -- user data and settings, applications, and even the operating system -- from a backed up computer to one with completely different hardware.
"Since returning Retrospect to private ownership in November 2011, we've refocused on our traditional core markets: small and midsize businesses," said company cofounder Eric Ullman. "One challenge faced by smaller organizations that lack dedicated IT staff is restoring applications and user data to a brand new computer. The new hardware is often different enough from the old that a simple restore becomes a complex migration project. Retrospect 8's Dissimilar Hardware Restore add-on completely eliminates that pain point by automating the restore process and adjusting for the new hardware."
The all-new Retrospect Client agent for Windows -- included with both the Mac and Windows releases -- provides on-demand backup and restore functionality right in the client software. This allows end users to manage their own high-priority restores without requiring intervention from the backup administrator. This capability was introduced for Mac clients late last year, and now it's available for both platforms, along with improved (AES-256) network link encryption, notification area integration, and administrator-level control to activate these features on a client-by-client basis.
Other Improvements
Retrospect 8 for Windows gains support for cloud-based storage using WebDAV (Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning), providing an easy, automated option for immediate offsite backups. Cloud storage providers like Egnyte (www.egnyte.com) and Internet hosting providers like DreamHost (www.dreamhost.com) provide affordable WebDAV-accessible storage that Retrospect can employ for offsite backups. This feature was first made available in Retrospect 9 for the Mac.
Pricing and Availability
Retrospect 8 for Windows and Retrospect 10 for Mac are both available immediately from Retrospect resellers or www.retrospect.com as an electronic download. Boxed product will be available from resellers at the end of November. Retrospect is available in 6 languages: English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, and Japanese.
Pricing for the Retrospect ranges from $119 for Retrospect Professional (Windows) and Desktop (Mac), which protect a single non-server computer and up to five additional networked PCs, up to $1,999 for Retrospect Multi Server (Windows and Mac), which protects as many Mac, Windows, and Linux servers and PCs as bandwidth and storage capacity will allow. Upgrades range from $49 to $1,109. (All prices listed above are suggested retail pricing in U.S. dollars.) For a complete listing of new and upgrade product pricing, please visit retrospect.com.
Free upgrade period: Individuals and organizations that purchased a Retrospect license on or after October 1, 2012 will receive email notification that they qualify for a free upgrade to the latest Retrospect release.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity.

During the great California gold rush, early prospectors sifted through rocks and streams in the hopes of finding a fortune. But bigger hauls were often claimed by going below the surface and digging deeply into mines, where a treasure trove of gold lay waiting to be unearthed. The gold rush may be ancient history, but there's still potential treasure to be tapped--and crises that can be prevented too-by companies that are willing to delve deep into their dark data.

When I shorted everybody loved the stock. It dropped and there seemed to be no floor. But now, sadly, too many people are pessimistic, and so I had to cover.
I agree. Just covered. It was a nice run. I had high hopes for a much steeper decline.
As I said yesterday, we needed a big plunge below 'support' of 130 so that the traders buying will have the stops triggered. This is important. So I bought now. Most likely it's going to 0. No problem.
FB sucks too. DIS NKE FSLR have already taken a big hit.
Pennystock is right. Nobody says you have to be short. But owning this is stupid. See FB board where I talk up jcp shld odp spls HSBC lyg rbs bcs.
If there is a pullback get odp spls shld jcp. Feel free right now to buy British banks rbs HSBC bcs lyg since billions have been pulled out of the market by investors.
Arrogant sob. When they get like this the fat lady is beginning to sing.
They were given a whole day. So question is, where are the stops? Somewhere south of 120 I would guess. Let's have it go there and then we will see.
To take out the stops. If it does not happen, no problem. So I missed it.
This needs to be held for a long time. Until the sector is back in favour.
Oops - unless.
Very nice. I missed it. That swoon today gave me a chance to buy.
Stop losses are supposed to be taken out. And always at the wrong time.
The pharma companies kept going up on bad days. A safe haven for those seeking shelter. Before they all plunged. I added now to my short pos. This time just because it 'feels' right. Have a stop on this, not the rest. But very little money at risk because shorting is stupid.
Very intense pessimism by investors.
Oops, forgot. Recently added to JCP and SHLD long positions. If it's obvious in markets it's obviously wrong. TIF may be a buy. ODP and SPLS bought after the merger was vetoed. Yes, retail is where money should be put.
It's not good to use facts and logic. Impossible to do. Gets one into endless trouble. This is my favorite and biggest short. And the widespread public and investor enthusiasm is the only reason. Anything else is too confusing. Shorting is stupid I admit since you need a stop. So just a bit. For entertainement only. Not enough to make any real money with. AMZN and FB are also good.
Shorted recently at 65 when the great news broke. And then today it rocketed up again on news. Thankfully, it dove because everybody is bad mouthing this. So I covered. Had the reaction been positive I would have stayed with the position.
You do want a lot of shorts when buying. And when shorting, hopefully there is nobody with you. You must be all alone in the investment world.
That's good?
Sentiment: Strong Sell

Wisconsin Funeral Trust can buy stocks, bonds again
$5.7 million paid to investors in 13 months
Madison — The Wisconsin Funeral Trust was given a green light Monday to cautiously re-enter the financial markets, a judicial approval that was granted after a testy exchange between lawyers in the fund's receivership case.
In approving the request by the trust's receiver, John Wirth, Dane County Circuit Court Judge Peter Anderson did not rule on the contentious issue of whether funeral directors must continue paying interest at the rate they promised investors when they sold prepaid funeral packages.
The Wisconsin Funeral Directors Association is asking that retroactive to September 2012 the trust not be required to continue paying investors a rate equal to the average return on a 3-year certificate of deposit plus 1 percentage point. The trust, however, would be required to pay that rate for the interest accrued prior to September 2012, when the trust went into receivership.
Anderson noted investors would have to cover the loss if the requirement is dropped.
"Someone is going to pay it at the expense of someone else," the judge said.
The fund was forced into receivership after state regulators discovered it had a shortfall of more than $20 million. The shortfall has grown to more than $24.5 million.
The trust is holding money from nearly 11,000 consumers who bought what they thought was a conservative investment tool to pay in advance for funerals. In reality, however, the trust's money managers were pouring millions of dollars into high-risk, leveraged investments including hedge funds and futures.
Since the receivership began, funeral directors have continued to honor the contracts, with the trust paying 60% of the costs of funerals, and the funeral homes covering the rest.
In the past 13 months, the trust has paid $5.7 million to cover the costs of about 1,400 funerals, according to a new report filed by Wirth.
Under the proposal approved Monday, Wirth said he hopes the trust earns enough money so it can continue paying at least 60% of burial costs.
Plans call for the trust's new money mangers — Ziegler Lotsoff Capital Management — to put about 70% of the trust's assets into fixed-income instruments, 20% into stocks of large public companies and the remainder in cash and liquid assets. Anderson said the performance of the portfolio will be reviewed every six months.
Anderson approved the plan after Christopher Stroebel, attorney for the Wisconsin Funeral Directors Association, asked Anderson to order Wirth to stop publicly criticizing the trade group.
Wirthand attorneys forthe state Department of Justice sharply criticized the funeral directors association after the group asked that funeral directors stop being required to pay investors the promised CD-plus-one rate. Stroebel said the funeral directors should not be responsible for that rate after the receivership began.
Wirth told the Journal Sentinel the funeral directors' proposal would give consumers a "worse funeral than what they bargained for." In an email to funeral directors, Wirth compared the association's proposal to punching someone after "the customer's hands were shackled."
Anderson advised Wirth use a "more judicial temperament" when discussing the receivership. The judge also expressed hope that Wirth and the trade group could agree without the court intervening.

There is a lack of data on the Anopheles fauna, its biology and the roles played by different vector species in the transmission of malaria in the mount Cameroon region. The biting habits, feeding behaviour and entomological inoculation rates of different Anopheles species during the dry and rainy season were investigated. A total of 2165 Anopheles was collected, 805 in the rainy season and 1360 in the dry season. Five Anopheles species were identified: Anopheles gambiae s.l., An. funestus, An. hancocki, An. moucheti and An. nili. An. gambiae, An. funestus and An. hancocki, recorded during both seasons, were the main vectors of malaria in the region. An. gambiae s.s. was the only member of the An. gambiae (Giles) complex. These three species had their peak activity between 1 and 2 am. A human blood index (HBI) of 98.29% was recorded for fed Anopheles. The sporozoite rate, for all vectors together, was significantly higher in the rainy season (9.4%) than in the dry season (4.2%) with all the species infected by Plasmodium falciparum. The average inoculation rate was 0.44 infective bites per man per night, which adds up to 161 infective bites per year in this study area. Analyses of relative abundance and infection rate of malaria vectors at different sites situated along a transect of 20 km during the dry season showed high heterogeneity in biting and sporozoite rates. No malaria vector was caught at 1200 m a.s.l. The mount Cameroon region should be considered an area of high malaria transmission intensity.

Is this the face of Rupert Brooke's secret DAUGHTER? War poet's biographer claims rumours of a Tahitian love child are almost certainly true
- Rupert Brooke spent most of 1913 living and working in the South Pacific
- In Tahiti, he met a local woman named Taatamata and fell in love
- On his return to the UK in 1914, he mentioned children to friends
- Died on a French hospital ship during Gallipoli campaign in 1915
- Biographer Jill Dawson travelled to Tahiti and is convinced he had a child
- Says it was common knowledge that Alice 'Brooke' was Rupert's child
He is one of the greatest of the Great War poets, was described as 'the handsomest young man in England' by fellow writer W.B Yeats and spent years travelling the world before dying tragically young during the Gallipoli campaign.
But while the later career of Rupert Brooke, the author of the famous line: 'If I should die, think only this of me: that there's some corner of a foreign field that is forever England', is well known, his time spent travelling in Tahiti is shrouded in mystery.
There, he was rumoured to have fathered a child with a local woman - rumours that were later brushed under the carpet by his family and have never been proved.
Now Brooke's biographer Jill Dawson reveals why she believes the tales to be true - and presents compelling new evidence to suggest that the poet may indeed have been a father, although tragically, he would never know his daughter.
Daughter of a poet: Alice Brooke, pictured second from right, is thought to be the war poet's daughter
'The handsomest young man in England': Brooke in a 1913 photo taken ahead of his South Pacific trip
The Soldier, with its famous line: 'If I should die, think only this of me: that there's some corner of a foreign field that is forever England', is one of the best-known poems in the English lexicon.
But the idea that Rupert Brooke might have had a child, had left a part of himself deep in the South Seas islands, comes as a surprise to many.
A child born out of wedlock to a Tahitian woman who some described as a prostitute doesn't fit with the version of Brooke as a poster boy for the Establishment and patriotic feeling.
In fact Brooke was a far more complex figure than this version allows: his prose writings give a much fuller picture of the man.
He wrote a play, many wonderful letters, as well travel essays highly critical of British and American attitudes to the indigenous people of the South Seas.
'The white population of heaven must be very small indeed,' he claimed.
He travelled by cruise ship to America, Canada New Zealand, Fiji and Tahiti in 1913 and his letters home show how bewitched he was by the South Sea islands:
'Hour after hour one may float in the warm lagoons, conscious in the whole body, of every shred and current of the multitudinous water…..' he wrote.
He was also enchanted by Taatamata, a young woman with 'wonderful eyes' whom he met at the Tiare Hotel in Papeete, the capital of Tahiti, in 1913.
'She has wonderful eyes, the walk of a Goddess and heart of an angel,' wrote a smitten Brooke. She too was devoted to him.
'I think I shall write a book about her – only I fear I am too fond of her,' he wrote in a letter home. The five South Seas poems he went on to publish in 1914 were infused with love for her and the islands.
Battle: Brooke was supposed to take part in the Gallipoli campaign but was taken ill and died before he arrived
That, for most, is where the story of Rupert Brooke, Taatamata and the South Sea Islands end. But evidence suggests that it isn't quite true.
On his return to the UK, Brooke wrote to his boyhood friend Dudley Ward and confessed to a dream in which his beloved Taatamata committed suicide.
He was clearly worried about her. 'No mention of a baby,' he adds, suggesting that the possibility of having conceived one was high and played on his mind.
A reply from Taatamata eventually reached him via an extraordinarily circuitous route. It was dated 2nd May 1914 and began 'My dear Love darling'.
It had been forwarded from Ottawa, having been recovered by divers from the Empress of India, the ship that had gone down in the St Lawrence Seaway, taking most of its passengers with it.
Although rather bedraggled by the time he was able to read it, the letter confirmed his suspicions. In a mixture of French, English and Tahitian his Polynesian girlfriend writes: 'Sweetheart....I grow fat all time.'
reaction is unknown. There the trail ends. It wasn't until 21 years
after Rupert Brooke's death that Dudley Ward began making enquiries
about the existence of a child.
By then 50 years old, a CBE and a member of the Treasury, it's doubtful that Ward would have bothered if he hadn't had a strong inkling that such a child was probable, so did Brooke confide in him?
Paradise: Brooke's five South Sea poems were published in early 1914, a year before his tragically early death
A corner of a foreign field: Brooke's own corner is high in an olive grove on the Greek island of Skyros
Confidential: Brooke confided in his boyhood friend, the Cambridge economist Dudley Ward
The date of Ward's detective work coincides with the death of Brooke's mother. Ward, perhaps sensitive to the hurt it might cause, preferred to let the rumours well alone while Mrs Brooke was alive.
Ward's search for the truth began with a letter to Norman Hall, director of Mutiny on the Bounty, asking if he knew of Tataamata, apparently 'the only woman that Rupert Brooke really cared about'.
Hall replied that she was well known to him, lived on Moorea, and was 'still quite a handsome woman and must have been a very attractive girl when Brooke knew her'.
He promised to ask about a child but if he did, there is no record of it. Norman Hall died in 1951 but his daughter confirmed that her mother had always known that Alice Rapoto, a close friend of the family, was the daughter of Brooke and Tataamata.
She supplied the only known photograph of Alice who died around 1992 (if born in 1915 she would have been 77), although no records of birth or death confirm this.
The islands of Tahiti and French Polynesia are about as far as it's possible to travel from the UK and most biographers, including Mike Read, who came closest to the story in his biography Forever England, didn't make the journey.
In 2006 I began research on my novel The Great Lover about the life of Rupert Brooke and made the trip to Tahiti.
Despite my enquiries I found no evidence of a child on that research trip so I wrote the novel anyway, using the logic of imagination and the inferences of Mike Read's book and Taatamata's letter. This year – a month ago - I was invited back to a Salon du Livre festival in Tahiti's capital, Papeete.
While there I did some TV interviews and made general enquiries. I didn't look for documents in the knowledge that Polynesian culture is often casual about such things.
I had some great conversations with other writers and translators and experienced anew the sensory assault that bewitched painters like Matisse and Gaugin.
Brooke himself had painted a picture of the scene in words: 'And after dark, the black palms against a tropic night, the smell of the wind, the tangible moonlight like a white, dry translucent mist, the lights in the huts, the murmur and laughter of passing figures, the passionate, queer thrill of the rhythm of some hidden dance, all this will seems inexplicably and almost unbearably like a scene your heart has known long ago, and forgotten and yet always looked for.'
Still, confirmation of the existence of an Alice Brooke hadn't appeared. I returned home, although not before sending an email.
And I struck lucky, although the evidence was anecdotal. The writer translating The Great Lover into French a teacher who lives on the nearby island of Ra'iatea, mentioned he'd been talking to a friend about me and my novel.
His friend, Georgia, told him that as a child in the 1960s she met a beautiful woman with long grey hair, called Alice Brooke, living in grand house on the island of Moorea overlooking Tahiti.
Everyone knew, Georgia says, that her father was the English poet, Rupert Brooke. There were children around, small children, thought to belong to Alice.
It might not be the DNA evidence that a court would want but taken together, to me, there are too many coincidences to overlook.
I like to think that living quietly in Tahiti are Alice's children, the grandchildren of Tatamaata and Rupert Brooke - one of the greatest poets the UK ever produced.

Congestion occurred on the Fatih Sultan Mehmet (FSM) and Bosporus bridges as a result of a protest by dump truck drivers against the closure of a dump site in İstanbul starting at around noon on Thursday.
Numerous dump truck drivers started a protest at around noon on the Anatolian side of İstanbul. The dump trucks -- setting off from Çamlıca and heading to FSM Bridge -- caused congestion on the TEM highway. A long line emerged heading towards the FSM Bridge as the large group of protesting truck drivers aimed to cross to the European side.
There was reportedly heavy traffic on the TEM highway connecting Ümraniye and Kavacık. According to the latest reports, the Bosporus Bridge was also affected by the spreading protests. Dense traffic could be seen even at the Haliç Bridge.
Meanwhile, two accidents took place on the TEM highway, causing even more traffic on the route.
The closure of the dump site in the Ömerli district by the municipality is believed to be the cause of the protests by the truck drivers.
