Ofgem plan for upgrades to drive fuel bills higher
Related Articles
Published: 17 December 2012
Britain's long-suffering energy customers will find an extra £15 slapped on their gas and electricity bills by 2021 after regulator Ofgem announced plans to hike investment in the power grid to more than £24 billion over the next eight years.
Fuel customers are already reeling from an 8% jump in household energy prices this year, which has pushed up the average annual direct debit bill to £1247 and plunged a further 300,000 UK homes into fuel poverty over the winter, according to new research by the government-funded Fuel Poverty Advisory Group.
A total of 6.5 million households are now in fuel poverty — meaning they spend more than 10% of their post-tax income on energy — and the number could jump to nine million by 2016, the group warns, as expected rises in the price of gas and the costs of greening Britain's electricity supply continue to force up prices.
To make matters worse, Ofgem set out plans today for a £24.2 billion upgrade to the country's electricity and gas grid between 2013 and 2021. This will add £8.50 to the average energy bill in the first year and £15.10 in the last, giving an average annual rise of £12, Ofgem said.
The bulk of the investment — up to £15.5 billion — will be used to upgrade transmission networks for both gas and electricity, which are operated by National Grid. A further £7 billion would be spent on making sure the gas networks to homes and businesses remain safe and reliable and would connect 80,000 households to the gas network for the first time.
Ofgem chairman John, Lord Mogg said the regulator had "delivered a sound regulatory environment that protects consumers by attracting the energy infrastructure investment that Britain needs at a fair price".
The regulator is trying to ensure that Britain's creaking energy infrastructure receives the investment it desperately needs to keep the lights on, without piling too many extra costs onto struggling customers.
Today's announcement of the final investment figure represents a hike from the £22 billion Ofgem initially proposed in July. This was denounced by the country's biggest energy distributor, National Grid, which had asked for £31 billion.
National Grid declined to comment on Ofgem's revised figure, which is still nearly £7 billion less than it wanted — raising the prospect that the matter could be referred to the Competition Commission if the two sides cannot agree. "We will be spending the next few months on analysis before deciding on our course of action. This will be communicated to Ofgem no later than March 2013," a spokesman said, adding that "the final proposals are a lengthy and complex set of documents."

And this survey proves??? ....That surveys can be worthless.
Is this a case of poor teaching, or willfull denial? I wonder.
Summary: "Christians are a bunch of ignoramuses."
So they characterize theological differences with your own church as ignorance? The bread and wine symbolism as the example. Wonder if they characterized Catholics for birth control in the same way — as ignorant. Stupid poll.
Last I checked, you don't need to be a historian of the church to be a Christian. Plenty of retarded people have been called by Christ. Some have done great things and still have stories told about them. Joseph of Cupertino is an example.
—So why would an atheist know more about religion than a Christian?—
Jesus Christ is not a religion - He's the Truth.
so basically nonbelievers are more aware of the most controversial and fringe beliefs of believers.
And this surprises anyone? of course they would be more aware of those type issues, those are the very issues they use to justify their non belief. But ask them things that the majority of believers would be expected to know, like certain popular bible verses and you would get an entirely different outcome.
I am shocked that 60% of Catholics in the US are properly catechized on this point. Every radical priest, nun and ex-nun schoolteacher have spent 40 years trying to confuse the faithful on exactly this point.
It is the way you get there... and the journey NEVER ends.
Most of the atheists I know, regardless what they say, NEVER stop looking for a reason or a way to believe. It is a lonely and painful trip for them, because their 'reason' deceives them, leads them down so many roads... and in the end, and even IF they never accept a faith... they SEEM to know more than believers.
They are truly sad and lost. I pray for them...and their children.
Just because someone thinks about religion a lot, doesn't mean they have knowledge. While many believe they have religious knowledge, religion is based on belief, not knowledge.
What is so controversial about knowing who Martin Luther was?
Here is the survey.
This survey is a joke.
The majority of atheists are numbskull leftists who think that God enjoys burning people and "turn the other cheek" means set the murderers free.
Isn't Satan also an expert on Scripture?
It is funny you know... atheists, agnostics et al study apologetics to disprove what they believe may be true but wish to believe otherwise. Most Christians accept their faith and move on, no proof needed for them any longer. But it is still needed for Christians to understand their faith and have a good working knowledge of apologetics.
Here is an interesting thought... I've been reading through Geneses lately and the thought has occurred to me that many of the human practices we take for granted, had a "first occurrence". The question then is, "what was the Geneses of the first occurrence?" Take for instance marriage and circumcision, God instituted both. The first occurrence of these human practices, so far as I know, originated with God and is recorded historically in "religious" documents. I'm sure there are likely many others.
For anybody out there who is a student of apologetics, this would be a unique endeavor, to make a study of history to discover practices that are common to most of humanity, and link back to the first occurrence. I would venture to guess, that those practice that are commonly held as healthy have a first occurrence in relation to God... not the lesser.
I think that the more educated and intellectual a person is, the easier it is to fall into the same trap as Adam and Eve did in the Garden of Eden when they ate from the forbidden tree.
The highly intellectual person grasps the notion that he is close to being a "god" himself and can somehow achieve god-hood and all it's perceived wonderfulness and power. This notion, of course is in direct conflict with Christianity and the gospel of Jesus Christ which tells us that there is only ONE god (the trinity, 3-in-ONE, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit). So the person seeking to become a god himself must reject Christianity, and he must keep on speaking about his rejection just to convince himself that he attain his goal. These are the vocal atheists that we mostly hear. There are probably many more who are not the least bit intellectual that just don't believe but feel no need to speak out about it and be recognized and vocal.
I think that is why we mistakenly think to be an atheist one must be intellectual. It just is not true.
This is a natural progression of soul development and is expected. Atheists are more honest than many who proclaim religion and go to church, not based upon their belief in God, but based upon the individual identity they have obtained from the church hierarchy and peer member group.
The natural progression in soul development is dependency(surrender to others) through teenage transition to self identity or self worship through the diminishing of self (mid-life crisis or dying daily) through the dark night of the soul and only then through an internal surrender and the experience of Divine Love, and only then, on to a surrender to God.
The reason for the sequence is that you must first take your authority away from those you are in a dependency relationship with in order to own it so you can surrender it to God. The teachings of being born-again, new wine in an old skin and the hand being a part of the body all relate to this growth process.
We (on earth) are about to enter a huge diminishing of the ego self. The problem is, a slightly injured ego will regroup to redefine and rebuild itself by having an affair or buying the sports car. A severely diminished ego self (without religion)will revert back to dependency and surrender their authority blindly based upon emotion (and not have the use of their logic even though they previously could have been "type A" executives appearing to have full control)
Only people with religion with find the strength to journey through the depths of the dark night of the soul and experience a true relationship with God.
No matter the religion, you have people in each of the groups of soul development.. the legalistic judgmental fundamentalists, the ecumenical self worshipers, and the mystics who commune with god every day whether they are in church or not...(I joke that these are the people who can wear plaid pants with striped shirts as their identity comes from their relationship with god and not from what others think.
When you are full of yourself you have no room for God!
Stupid conclusion to a bunch of questions apparently about the secular world's points of interest with religion.
Real questions having to do with the faith of Christian people would focus on biblical knowledge, denominational doctrine and denominational worship, practice and traditions.
For example:
What is the opening line of "The Old Rugged Cross."? (Baptist, Methodist)
What is the usual use of holy water by Catholics? (Catholic)
Who are the 2 Apostles predominantly featured in the Book of Acts? (general)
What verse best expresses Jesus' attitude toward children? (general)
Joseph of Cupertino was retarded???
How would anyone know that?
He was slow. Read about him. I find his story inspiring.
Thanks; I'm moderately familiar with his story - I just always pictured him as being fairly sharp... guess I was wrong.
A public access channel in CT had a show on once a week called Atheist Today or some such title.
It was nothing but one hour of atheists being mad at God for nuns disciplining them in Catholic schools.
They must go out of their way to exclude any Christian who is knowledgable of the faith. I have never met such ignorant faithful anywhere except when debating with Liberals who claim to be Christian.
Joseph of Cupertino was an Italian saint. He was said to have been remarkably unclever, but prone to miraculous levitation and intense ecstatic visions that left him gaping.
In turn, he is recognized as the patron saint of air travelers, aviators, astronauts, people with a mental handicap, test takers, and weak students. He was canonized in the year 1767.
He lived to be 60.

I am pretty sure Satan knows the Bible backwards and forwards too.
Amen. Once you become satisfied with your faith you eventually lose it. That does not mean you lose your belief, it means you lose the fire and the accompanying peace and joy that go with faith. You become an empty shell and are back where you started without knowing why.
Most of the atheists I know, regardless what they say, NEVER stop looking for a reason or a way to believe. It is a lonely and painful trip for them, because their reason deceives them, leads them down so many roads... and in the end, and even IF they never accept a faith... they SEEM to know more than believers.
Without God, and more specifically, Jesus, there will forever be that aching emptiness, that feeling of "something is missing." However, the search for proof is futile. God cannot be proven! Were one to think he had proven God, he would have , by the very act of proving, turned an infinite Being into a finite being, thereby destroying God by definition. In the process, they do learn most of the arguments pro and con. What they don't learn is that it is by grace that we are saved, not by works. They keep looking at the works angle and miss the grace part.
Faith is a feeling, a feeling we know to be true and the truth is reaffirmed every day. Some, like John, have an epiphany. Others get there through Bible study and a true desire to understand. Eventually, they do and they are there.
They are truly sad and lost. I pray for them...and their children.
So do I. It is a shame for any to miss the true reason we are here. Christianity is as much about living as it is about everlasting life.
Heresy? Perhaps. But a survey that measured Americans' knowledge of religion found that atheists and agnostics knew more, on average, than followers of most major faiths. In fact, the gaps in knowledge among some of the faithful may give new meaning to the term "blind faith."
Martin Luther was just one among many who rejected religion and wanted the truth known and he worked to that end.
Any educated person can read the Bible, and some people can remember what they read better than others, but that does,nt make them more knowledgeable because they do not know the meaning of what they read, and they do not know the difference between religion, and faith and truth.
Its hard for me to believe that people actually think that Jesus was preaching some kind of religion since it was the religious leaders ( the atheists and the agnostics ) who had Jesus hung on the cross in the first place.
It is like the saying, ( truth is sometimes stranger than )fiction.
The works and words of Jesus were not wittnessed by professors, they were seen and recorded by ordinary men, fishermen and the like, and thank god for that.
Put a knickel in it and see if it will start.
I wonder how many professors could translate the meaning of that the same way? (with out copying some one ) yet almost any grade school drop out knew what it met not many years ago.
Many of the atheists and agnostics whom i have had contact with thinks that it would be rediculeles to believe that the world was made in seven days, so for that reason they believe that the Bible is just foolishness.
Are they reading the Bible, or are they listening to a preacher that has not done his study very well? does the Bible say that god made the world in seven literal days? No.
The scribes and Pharisees obviously did not believe in God, they just believed in a religion that was making them rich and important.
Jesus was saying to them, don,t you know that this God that you preach is really real? why are you turning it into a religion?
That is why the religious leaders hated him, he was about to take away their rose garden, so to speak, their tithes and all of their authority.
The religious leaders of today misinterpret the scriptures and insist on collecting tithes and it has become a money game and the truth has gone down the tube.
The atheists and agnostics (well ) the scriptures say that many shall be called but few will be chosen.
6:40 This is the will of the one who sent me,
that everyone who sees the Son, and believes in him, should have eternal life;
and I will raise him up at the last day."
6:39 This is the will of my Father who sent me,
that of all he has given to me I should lose nothing,
but should raise him up at the last day.
If God does not send some one to Christ, then Christ can not raise them up at the last day, just pray that God will send them.
Jesus Christ is not a religion - Hes the Truth.
I think that the more educated and intellectual a person is, the easier it is to fall into the same trap as Adam and Eve did in the Garden of Eden when they ate from the forbidden tree.
From this comment I assume you are a believer, right? If so, you are mistaken about who the non-believers are. There are many intelligent conservatives who are non-believers. Quite a few of them try to be believers but can't quite get there. Primarily because they are looking for God in all the wrong places - in scientific proof. Many were raised in the church and do all the right things, all the things a believer would do but, for the wrong reasons.
You also may need to reexamine your own belief. In your condemnation of non-believers you run the risk of conceit in your own knowledge and belief. You run the risk of finding out, when the time comes, you are among those wailing and gnashing their teeth, saying, "Why not me, Lord? I did all that was required."
Remember, Hate the sin but love the sinner. Pray for those you so arrogantly condemn.
Yes, and on human nature. Remember, he was there in the beginning, in the Garden. He even has his own kingdom, Hades. That is why Saul Alinsky dedicated his book, Rules for Radicals, to him under his other name, Lucifer. Need we know any more about Marxism and its ultimate destination?
Atheists, agnostics most knowledgeable about religion.
Lawyers know all the loop holes too.
Atheists, or self worshipers tend to be highly educated. As such they feel self empowered, like the sixteen year old who thinks he knows it all, and feel they have no need for God as they are in control.
Isnt Satan also an expert on Scripture?
There are many intelligent conservatives who are non-believers. Quite a few of them try to be believers but can't quite get there.
"These are people who thought a lot about religion," he said. "They're not indifferent. They care about it."
That describes me.
Most Christians accept their faith and move on, no proof needed for them any longer.
I would discard "any longer" and just stay with "No proof needed."
But it is still needed for Christians to understand their faith and have a good working knowledge of apologetics.
I was raised in a fundamentalist protestant church and did my best to believe. In college, while searching for reenforcement for my belief, I learned that I could be in good intellectual company and not believe. So, I became an atheist. Surprisingly, I felt a great sense of relief. I was amazed but I felt as if great chains had been lifted from my back. I rejoiced!
After a short while I realized one couldn't disprove God, either, so I became an agnostic but i did not give up the quest. The emptiness in my core was still there. It doesn't go away even for pretend believers. Eventually I got there and as you said and many before me had learned, proof was no longer needed.
I think many, perhaps most, churches preach the wrong gospel. Too many, like the one I attended, come down hard on Hellfire and brimstone, about all the bad things that are going to happen if you don't believe, and too little time on the peace and joy that accompany belief. Many TV evangelists have made fortunes preaching that way and throw in the miracle healings for good measure.
Others, like the new phenom, Joel Whats-his-name, emphasize applying the scriptures to the problems of everyday life. I like that idea but I don't always like the way he applies it. A proper understanding of the scriptures, if I may be so bold as to use that term. negates many of our social problems. They just don't happen, and when real problems do arise we are able to put them in proper perspective and overcome them. Think of Job.
The movers and shakers behind the Marxist agenda are purposely trying to destroy our religious foundation. Their twists are purposeful. The Useful Idiots often just don't want the guilt that goes along with doing the wrong thing. They would rather transform wrong into right. That requires the negation of God and religion.
"From this comment I assume you are a believer, right?"
No. I am a conservative atheist, one of an extremely small minority. Technically I'm closer to being an agnostic.
The reason why we are so few is that conservative atheists/agnostics are at an extremely high risk for depression and suicide. There is absolutely nothing worse than having a love for humanity, knowing the true horrors of reality, and not believing that anyone can stop the madness. It is very difficult to survive a single day. The only reason I bother continuing with life is out of an arbitrary sense of duty.
The left wing atheists don't have to worry about this so long as they are financially stable and surrounded by worldly delights. They love all the physical pleasures of life and they couldn't care less about evil. They are also capable of atrocities that evil that even Muslims would give pause.
"Atheists, or self worshipers tend to be highly educated. As such they feel self empowered, like the sixteen year old who thinks he knows it all, and feel they have no need for God as they are in control."
"I think that is a pretty good explanation except that maybe you could use some other word rather that religion, as religion is what the atheists and agnostics would like to call faith, Jesus did not preach a religion he preached the truth, the ones who hung him on the cross were the ones who believed in religion."
I agree with you.... It's more than "faith," it's understanding the anatomy & physiology of the soul and the spiritual development process.
"No. I am a conservative atheist, one of an extremely small minority. Technically Im closer to being an agnostic."
Thank you for sharing. Your comments are profound.
Read my posts 31, 35 and 41 and see if there is anything there which is helpful.
The reason why we are so few is that conservative atheists/agnostics are at an extremely high risk for depression and suicide.
Until one can get in touch with their spiritual side, we have a physical and spiritual side, each as real as the other, and find something that satisfies that side of us, there will always be an emptiness, a lack of direction, a lack of purpose.
For me it is Christianity. I have been on all sides of this issue - struggling believer, atheist, agnostic, true believer - and Christianity is as close to truth as we humans are able to get.
I'll offer another explanation for the findings of this survey.
Atheists tend to pride themselves on a certain level of intellectual ability and they make it their business to learn things. They tend to be self-selected intellectuals. Believers however, include millions of people who are happy and devout in their faith but are not necessarily very intellectual about it. Christianity after all, is at heart about the *love* of God, not the *study* of God.
I don't know the methodology of the study so perhaps this was addressed, but taking a self-selected sample of the population and comparing it to one from the general population is quite likely to give exactly the result they got, and probably doesn't prove much.
Many of the Atheists I have come across seem more like people who are just angry with God. Then, there are a few that I really just don't want to be around because they seem like they are missing something in their eyes. They are frightening. (the latter are the ones who are the loudest)
They really ARE creepy
Love the conversation.
I was in much the same boat as you both. Grew up Catholic, "outgrew" the faith pretty early and became agnostic. But as I came out of the sunshine of youth and college, I saw increasingly that the beauty of the world was marred by so much terror and death. Even the passing of time is a savage brutality in a way. And many of us on the conservative side of the spectrum have enough sense to see that drowning ourselves in hedonism is not exactly the best way to deal with that.
I was at the point where I didn't see any purpose to the whole business. Terrifying, that thought. It occurred to me then that the only sliver of hope I had to rescue some meaning out of life was that old antiquated concept called God. So I cracked open some books and started to look at the whole question fresh.
I don't want to be preachy here but I could not BELIEVE the profound intellectual and spiritual wisdom in Christianity when I started to delve deeply into it. There were such great writers and great thinkers (Augustine, C.S. Lewis)—and all the weird strange questions I had in all different fields of human life (morality, love, science) seemed all to come together and make sense under the umbrella of a rational, loving God. So I made my confession and came back to Church. Don't get me wrong, I am not a finished work by any means...I still have my questions (tough questions sometimes) and I still have my difficulties. But overall, I do not regret that journey one bit.
Godspeed to you both, I'll keep you in my prayers.

It's become fashionable for churches to "target" a specific audience in their messages and ministry. But is that really such a good idea? Is it possible that in targeting specific groups we might be undermining our real ministry?

Some threats of legal action are more titillating in what they might disclose than others. Now that ousted Fox Public Relations head Brian Lewis has retained attorney Judd Burstein, we are all ears and eyes.
As GAWKER reports, Burstein indicates that he is "still plotting our course of action." So, there is as yet no strategy. But, he adds, "Roger Ailes and Newscorp have a lot more to fear from Brian Lewis telling the truth about them than Brian Lewis has to fear from Roger Ailes and his toadies telling lies about Brian Lewis."
That's right. There could be a lawsuit against that Roger Ailes who took no crap from internal whistleblower Joe Muto. Eventually Muto was hauled into court in handcuffs and had to surrender the $5,000 fee for his expose for GAWKER to charity. The message clearly was: Don't mess with Ailes, et al. at Fox.
Maybe the team of Lewis + Burstein will be able to send a different message. One that says that the gang at Fox has become vulnerable. Meanwhile, this could be the most watched employment matter since Aaron Charney sued his BigLaw employer Sullivan & Cromwell in 2007, got a settlement, and went on to get another job in BigLaw. Never say never when it comes to what legal action can accomplish.

City Council to Consider Adding Redevelopment Powers
On the agenda of its Tuesday meeting, city leaders will discuss adding it to the Nov. 5 ballot.
At its Sept. 3, the City Council will consider a resolution that would add to the Nov. 5 ballot a referendum to allow citizens an opportunity to vote whether to give the city Redevelopment Powers.
Redevelopment Powers, which are provided by Georgia's State Constitution, would give the city the ability to create tax allocation districts, to issue tax allocation bonds and incur other obligations.
To read more about the bill, click here, the information is on pages 4-5. You may also find the information by visiting the city's website, and under "Meeting Agendas and Minutes" locate the information in "Agenda Packet."
A copy of the agenda is included with this article. The City Council meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m., Tuesday, Sept. 3 at City Hall, 147 Technology Parkway, Peachtree Corners, GA 30092.

To the Editor:
Recently I noticed that the Patch web site has been redesigned such that it does not appear possible (unless I am missing a link somewhere) to 'follow' comments on an article (by having emails sent to me whenever someone posts another comment on an article) without having first to comment on the article myself. Is this true? Or is ther ea way to follow and article without first commenting on it?.

I would like to know what has motivated the council to seek this additional power of 'redevelopment'. I read the proposed bill as suggested, but it is still not clear to me exactly what this would give the council authority over. I get nervous when I see non-specific statements such as 'other powers' without a clear delineation of powers. The terms of the proposed bill seem to me to be far too open ended to meaningfully limit the additional powers that are being proposed. Perhaps an example or two of what the council would like to do that they currently cannot do would help clarify what additional authority they are needing / wanting in seeking voter approval for this amendment to our charter.

I agree, how much and of what kind of power does the council need to manage land use, code enforcement and trash pickup?

Worst single idea a town can do..... Redevelopment Districts are a direct attack of private property rights..... Legalized property confiscation.
September 03, 2013 at 01:01 PM
Tina I agree with you. Just imagine the outcome of the vote for cityhood had those so eager to be in power mentioned this little nugget at the town hall meetings. This group has gone from city lite to big government faster than I expected, and I did expect this to happen. I wish I could say I was surprised, but I'm not. Just truly saddened and disappointed once again in our government. (State, local, and federal)

Many of the council persons while running for office in 2012 promised to only put a referendum on the ballot on major election years - mid term or presidential - to ensure maximum voter input. Turn out is typically low in off year election years and savvy politicians know it is a way to sneak things through without much voter scrutiny. November 2013 is an off-year election. The council wants to put a referendum on the ballot to change the city charter, expand the services (and thus the cost for running the city) to 4. They want to add Redevelopment Powers.

I agree with all the above comments. Originally, when the City Council was campaigning, everyone supported the idea that there was no need to build a new City Hall. When reviewing the "artists renderings" for the area across from the Forum, it is so interesting that a large, new City Hall building is included in the renderings. Now, the same City Council wants to increase their power to extend to "redevelopment." Are we being "hood-winked" by our local politicians? Come on City Council, the folks in Peachtree Corners do not need "add-ons" at this time. Manage what you have well and in the future perhaps these items would be considered. Get over yourselves!

From one of the few who could look into the future and opposed this charade from the start. Let me just say. "I TOLD YOU SO!!!!"
Maybe now a few more will realize what a BAD idea this was from the start. We were hoodwinked by a few people who did not have enough power and wanted more. Now you begin to see what their vision really was. Just wait, they will be grabbing more and more power and doing just about whatever they want, even though they "promised" they would do nothing of the kind. Wait until you see the edifice they will build for themselves with your INCREASED fees and taxes. Liar liar pants on fire!!!!
A proud "NO CITY" supporter!

While they are at it, could the state or the city - maybe a 'committee' - figure out how to keep that area clean? It has to be one of the filthiest areas on 101 along with the 101/Woodside Road interchange and Woodside Road itself. A disgrace. Are we living in area of 'pigs'?

Ground Zero: A Zombie Apocalypse by Nicholas Ryan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I am not a big fan of the zombies/end-of-the-world genre but….damn that book was amazing. It played like a great suspense movie in my head. Right from the beginning you see that it's not you average zombie story. I love so many things about how the book is written. It felt so carefully thought. I always caught myself thinking the story was going to go one way but then it didn't. Even though the descriptions were pretty gory I loved them, it made the story easier to visualize and more real. I say READ THIS BOOK even if you are not a "zombie" fan, Its a real page turner that will get you on the edge of your seat. This book is way more than a zombie attack story and I think that's why I enjoyed it so much. It was about how people acted in survival mode. Nicholas Ryan showed that the fact that your big and strong or well prepared doesn't mean you can survive all of this. I loved the development and journey of the main character (by the way…poor guy..didn't he have enough to deal with?). This book is smart, action-packed and a real roller-coaster of emotions. Even though I know what's going to happen if they made a movie with this book I would for sure watch it but I'm pretty sure it would not give it the justice it so obviously deserve.

I hate when the media makes The Hunger Games look like a battle for love. Get your bullshit fantasies away. This is about murder, over powered government, and a girl trying to change the way things are. News flash not every girls fantasy is to find true love.
the irony here is that our media is doing exactly what the Capitol did in the books; downplaying the murder, focusing on the bullshit love story
Real talk

Comments about Canari Merano Bike Jersey - Men's:
This is a nice stylish Jersey. It has a nice semi-tight fit for a slender guy like me. It would be tighter if your body is the thicker type. It's light weight with plenty of pores behind your back for ventilation. The sleeves are loose and don't squeeze your biceps. Note that the picture is not exactly what you are going to get. The blue color I got looks exactly the same except the zipper has NO gray Canari-worded liner running up and down -- imagine it not being there. It's just a plain zipper. I think the picture is a previous year model. Depending on how you feel about that, you might not like it. I don't mind at all.

Comments about Canari Merano Bike Jersey - Men's:
I bike commute to work a couple of times per week, so by no means am a hardcore cyclist. I wanted something visible and this jersey certainly accomplishes that job. I am 6'1" ~180lbs and bought the Large size. The fit is ok, a little loose around the body, but about right in length. I think the medium would have been too small.

Deutsche Bank loses bid to end FHFA mortgage lawsuit

NEW YORK Nov 12 (Reuters) - A U.S. judge on Monday rejected Deutsche Bank AG's bid to dismiss a federal regulator's lawsuit accusing it of misleading Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac into buying billions of dollars of risky mortgage debt.
U.S. District Judge Denise Cote in Manhattan said the Federal Housing Finance Agency, which had sued over roughly $14.2 billion of securities, may pursue fraud claims over the German bank's representations in offering materials regarding mortgage underwriting standards.
Cote previously refused to dismiss FHFA lawsuits against Bank of America Corp's Merrill Lynch unit, JPMorgan Chase & Co and UBS AG over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac mortgage losses.

The Dow looks to be in the throes of a 420-point plunge, even if sellers were unable to deliver the haymaker yesterday that would have put bulls down for the count. At the final bell, the drop amounted to only 144 points, although it would have been closer to 200 points at the day's lows. If our prediction of a further 276-point fall over the very near-term pans out, pushing the blue chip average slightly below 10000, that would be just a very small downpayment on all of the plunging the Dow will still have to do to catch up with a U.S. and global economy that have begun to relapse into deep coma. Dow 5000, anybody? Whatever happens, it seems clear already that the highs » Read the full article

It's explosive days like yesterday that serve to remind us of Bonds' strong propensity to go against weakness in the broad averages. To the extent I am increasing the drum beat for the "sky-is-falling" argument, I am implicitly saying that a powerful upthrust awaits in this vehicle. More immediately, and considering the ease with which the 134^09 Hidden Pivot gave way, I'll hang a 135^09 target out as a minimum upside objective for now — and 140^20 if it fails.. The provenance of the first number is shown in the accompanying chart, but there are any number of other bullish ABCs that I could have used. Anyway, we are not trying to short this vehicle so much as find explanations for the behavior of other markets that take their cues from it. Meanwhile, it cannot make anyone feel "safer" that so much of the world's investment capital is pouring into one allegedly "safe" haven. As Marc Faber has said, people will want to cross the icy river where the greatest number of people are crossing it, but that's hardly the way to ensure one's safety.
This week's consolidation has occurred entirely below an 83.03 peak recorded on July 23, so the potency of the larger, bullish pattern begun on August 6 is suspect. It projects to 84.30, but because the pattern itself is sausage-y, we should assume for starters that more consolidation is needed before much of anything happens for bulls.
I drum-rolled a 1040.25 downside target in the chat room yesterday, and it still looks like a no-brainer. A plunge to that number should be viewed as likely if and when the midpoint support with which it is associated, 1069.25, gives way. The so-far three-tick penetration of the support was not sufficient for us to have inferred that the jig was up yet for DaSleazeballs, who were hard at work near the close attempting to make a distribution opportunity out of a pathetic five-point rally.
The futures at least crept past the lower of two rally targets we've been using, 1236.70, and now presumably will take on the second at 1244.20. As noted here earlier, scale-out profit-taking is advised for swing traders still long, as well as the use of a "dynamic" trailing stop as described on this site's educational page.

When was the last time we saw gold take a second leg up rather than simply give up whatever gains it may have achieved overnight? It doesn't happen too often, and that's why beleaguered bulls may have felt something akin to exhilaration as yesterday's $40 surge unfolded. Many of them are undoubtedly wondering whether the rally will turn out to have ended the bear market in bullion that began 27 months ago. It's possible, of course. But technically speaking, the evidence still suggests that a Hidden Pivot target at 1125 first disseminated here a while back will eventually be achieved.
Even so, the bull deserves the benefit of the doubt for now, since both of Wednesday's discrete thrusts did what a healthy bull is supposed to do — i.e., surpass at least two prior peaks on the hourly chart. However, the December contract will have to repeat this feat, and soon, if we are to infer that significantly higher prices lie in store. Specifically, the futures will need to pop above the 1268.00 'external' peak labeled in the chart (see inset). Were that to occur today, there would be little doubt that a significant rally — i.e., one with the power to continue for perhaps at least 7 to 10 days — is under way.
Incidentally, Comex Gold has been moving very precisely in relation to our proprietary Hidden Pivot targets. Yesterday's low at 1212.90, for one, lay just a single tick from the 1212.80 target first broached here several weeks ago when the December futures were trading around $1300. Although we had expected a tradable bounce from very near 1212.80 and had told subscribers to try bottom-fishing there, the $40 trampoline bounce in mere hours came as a pleasant surprise. _______ UPDATE (5:45 p.m.): So much for the crazy idea that bullion bulls might enjoy favorable winds for two consecutive days (see inset, a fresh chart). The futures are actually on a short-term 'buy' signal at the moment, but it is only for traders nimble enough to bail out if Wednesday's rally turns out to have been a flash-in-the-pan. As implied above, buyers will need to push this vehicle to at least 1268.10 within the next day or two to avoid getting routed yet again.

At the Mining & Minerals Conference that I attended last week in San Francisco, I found Altius still to be high on the list of many savvy investors. With $130 million cash in reserve and a royalty stream that nicely offsets fixed outlays of $5 million per year, the company is well positioned to ride out whatever further pain bullion's bear market inflicts on investors. Altius is waist-deep in iron ore investments these days, causing some to remark that bullion is no longer much of a concern to the company. This is an exaggeration, but investors should be happy in any case that the firm is doing what it takes to survive gold's fall from $1900 to a recent $1220.
From a technical standpoint, the stock has been in a holding pattern centered on a $9-$11 range for more than three years. The weekly chart shows 'dueling impulse legs', implying that the tedious battle between bulls and bears could continue for yet some time, perhaps with an exhaustion skew down to $8 or a little lower. At that price, especially considering Altius' enviable cash position, the stock would represent a back-up-the-truck buying opportunity.
We hold twelve December 145 puts, offset in 'straddle' fashion by bullish NFLX call spreads we own. To simplify accounting, and to consolidate the risk, I've imputed the cost of the puts to the NFLX position so that we now hold eight December 400-410 calls spreads with an effective cost basis of 0.55. Keep in mind, however, that the DIA puts still have value. As such, I'll recommend that you offer them to close, good-till-canceled, for 0.02 less than the market makers. To do this, wait until the options have opened each day to see what bid/asked is being reflected by DaRapacious Dirtballs. At the moment, they are showing a bid of 0.06 and and offer of 0.12 (!). This means you should be offering the puts for 0.10. Please notify me in the chat room if your order fills, since it would be nice to have the puts off the sheets even though we are carrying them for zero.

In the current forum discussion, Cam Fitzgerald focuses on coffee's bear market to provide some lucid insights into the deflationary dynamic at work in the commodity markets. He notes that although the price of coffee beans has collapsed, falling by two-thirds since 2011, Starbucks is still charging the same four bucks for a large latte. This profit-friendly anomaly has held true for many other companies that benefit from a widening spread between commodity prices and end products. It would seem to flout the laws of supply and demand, but Cam says the textbook relationship will reassert itself with a vengeance as consumers become increasingly frugal under the weight of a deepening Great Recession.
From a technical standpoint, his theory looks quite solid. The weekly chart (see inset) implies that a pound of coffee currently trading on NYMEX for $1.03 is about to fall by half. If the futures were in fact to achieve the Hidden Pivot target of 53 cents, that would represent an 83% drop from 2011's all-time high of $3.08. Coffee lovers may have something to look forward to, but they should be careful what they wish for, since the implication of coffee beans selling for 50 cents a pound is that the world by then will be chest-deep in a deflation of falling wages, plummeting asset values and significantly lower corporate profits.
My outlook has been bearish, with a 45.29 downside target, notwithstanding a couple of short-covering eruptions along the way. I am now lowering the target to 43.83, however, on the basis of the chart shown. Your trading bias should be bearish until the target is reached, or very nearly reached, but if and when that occurs, you should reverse the position and get long with a stop-loss as tight as 0.20 cents. I'd suggest a good-till-canceled bid of 43.88, since it's possible the stock will turn without quite having reached our number. If the order fills and survives the stop, tune to the chat room or this page for further guidance. _______ UPDATE (November 13, 8:33 p.m. EST): The stock has lost my interest and attention, so I'm taking it off the front page for a while. One final note, however, that could prove useful to camouflage traders: At Wednesday's closing bell, it reversed the bearish polarity of the last three weeks with the bullish impulse leg shown (see inset, a fresh chart). ________ UPDATE (November 26): After taking its sweet old time reaching my 43.83 target, Facebook has taken a lunatic bounce this morning from within 23 cents of it, hitting a so far high of 46.08. If you loaded up near the low, please let me know in the chat room and I'll provide tracking guidance. Whatever you may have bought, half should have been exited by now for a partial gain.

Kurt Cobain (February 20, 1967 – c. April 5, 1994) was the lead singer of Nirvana. April 5th 1994 Kurt Cobain 'killed himself', which many believe he was murdered. He was found three days after he died in his Greenhouse. He was married to Courtney Love. his band was very beloved. Numerous people were(and still) think that their sound were crappy, and that the band had no musical talent. He did have a issue with all the attention he received, as well as the lack of privacy. He suffered from a drug addiction. He also had intense pain because of a undiagnosed chronic stomach condition. Dave Grohl from Nirvana is now in the band,Foo Fighters.
Kurt Cobain killed himself the exact day I was born. Ho hum.

The news of Hostess' return to Emporia, Kan., sparked an ecstatic response in this beleaguered town — even though there will be only half as many jobs.
The new company, formed when investors bought Hostess' snack cake business, has hired longtime snack cake production veterans Pat Chambers and her husband, Bob, to help get the bakery here running again. Pat lost her job at the Hostess plant when it closed last November. Now, she sits beaming on her front porch, wearing a dirty Hostess work shirt.

Kansan journalist Jason Probst says the Kansas he knows has disappeared.
"The great state of Kansas passed away on March 31, 2013 after a long and difficult battle with extremism," he wrote in an editorial for The Hutchinson News.
His faux obituary, lamenting Kansas' embrace of conservatism, went viral. Tens of thousands of people read it. Many were fellow Kansans who wrote to Probst to say they, too, were disturbed by their state's dramatic swing to the right.

After a dozen years at war, an estimated 2 million active-duty service members will have returned home by the end of 2013. Some reintegrate without much struggle, but for others it's not so easy. The psychological wounds of war can sometimes prove to be just as fatal as the physical ones.
For injured veterans such as Tomas Young, life is a daily struggle. But this Iraq War veteran, who says his physical and emotional pain is unbearable, has decided to end his life.

Similar to the other Big 4 accounting firms, is a form of slavery and injustices. Most people come here to work hundreds of hours per week, only to be paid substantially less than at Deloitte, KPMG, and PWC. They are so cheap with raises they would rather see everyone quit every year than try to pay in line with the other firms. Salaries average $5,000 to $8,000 less than the other Big 4 firms. And the tag line "quality in everything we do" does not apply to senior managers who are the darlings of the partners. It means they can be worthless and not work a hard day in their life while shitting on the seniors. Then once the problems ensue, they just blame the seniors to make it all better.
I get paid paid $8,000 less to do the same job as my college friend. Oh, thats because I work at Ernst & Young instead of Deloitte. What a dipshit for working there.

....empty but yet to be an deadly streets
I won't let it feel empty...I won't let them feel unknown..
but the city feels clean this time before the night, just an empty streets and makes me walking home..
It seems the time to clear my head up, stand beside no ones, and though it came as no surprises. I am deeply effected more than I had guessed, on what was said. Asking the wide skies, if the love's not meant to be, if heart not ready to open, if we do make it I won't see how it's broken..If only you fell into something.....it will stay. Raised out here, it's the quiet time before the dawn. And I'm half past making sense of it....."what's going on?"
Meant to be internally dead...? staying heartless...? Should I think to give it all in a world where not much ever seems to last long...or I should just let it go till they learn how to grow and how to liberate. I have a strong feeling that I have reached the point where I don't bother anymore. Keep telling myself that I am truly a heartless lover, but NOT to be apart of the heartless loved. I am getting older every single seconds in life, the less care about what's going on surrounding. The maturity is putting everything in process of crossing the opportunity and decision. Knowing that sometimes silence is more powerful than having the last word.
After a while, feeling become so restless, it's weighing heavy in mind. Pointless of standing united, heart says it will beat in time and things will be alright...For every hour spent, for those sleepless night.....forever in your arms...and "thing makes me smile without even trying" ......lantaklah! Ok bye²!

Rasa yang tersia...
Aku bukan perindu, bukan juga penagih rasa yang tak punya malu
Aku memang pencinta, namun aku bukan untuk dicinta..
Sekejam bicara yang meruntuh sebuah syurga
Sekukuh rasa yang masih menebal didada, terbina hanya sia
Membentuk aku seumpama serigala yang tak punya nyawa..
Aku pilih sepi tapi aku belum tuli, aku mungkin kaku tapi aku belum bisu
Aku takkan pernah berhenti biar pun aku setengah mati
Tawa menjadi lesu, aku tahu disini bukan lagi tempatku..
Yang tersisa menjadi terus membatu
Yang indah kian hilang bersama ruang waktu
Jangan lagi ada sebu, jangan lagi ada sesak yang memberi buntu
Cukup, aku tidak mahu..
Cukup, aku tidak mahu..
Bermain bahasa jiwa yang benci kecewa
Dalam diam menyimpan satu cita
Cita yang aku cukup sempurna untuk terus bahagia..

Trans performer Justin Vivian Bond has always been a fiery raconteur, so it's no surprise that Bond's new memoir is a dizzying blaze of incisive insight, wicked prose, and biting wit. Diagnosed with ADD and learning that a childhood bully-lover has been arrested, present-day Bond revisits the early evolution of a queer existence in which Bond wore frosted pink lipstick to school and wondered why one couldn't be both Fred and Ginger.

Toward Transparency: New Approaches and Their Application to Financial MarketsDaniel KaufmannThe Brookings Institution Tara VishwanathWorld Bank - Economic Development Institute World Bank Research Observer, Vol. 16, No. 1, pp. 41-57, 2001 Abstract: The Asian financial crisis in the late 1990s not only highlighted the welfare consequences of transparency in the financial sector but also linked this relatively narrow problem to the broader context of transparency in governance. It has been observed that objections to transparency, often on flimsy pretexts, are common even in industrialized countries. This article argues that transparency is indispensable to the financial sector and describes its desirable characteristics: access, timeliness, relevance, and quality. The authors emphasize the need to weigh the costs and benefits of a more transparent regulatory policy, and they explore the connection between information imperfections, macroeconomic policy, and questions of risk. The article argues for developing institutional infrastructure, standards, and accounting practices that promote transparency, implementing incentives for disclosure and establishing regulations to minimize the perverse incentives generated by safety net arrangements, such as deposit insurance. Because institutional development is gradual, the authors contend that relatively simple regulations, such as limits on credit expansion, may be the most reasonable option for developing countries. They show that transparency has absolute limits because of the lack of adequate enforcement and argue that adequate enforcement may be predicated on broader reforms in the public sector.
