Chino Otsuka : Imagine Finding Me
Chino Otsuka uses photography and video to explore the fluid relationship between the memory, time and photography. At age 10 she moved from Japan to the United Kingdom to attend school. Her experience of becoming familiar with a new place, a different language and new customs while she was developing her adolescent identity has profoundly shaped her work in photography, video and writing. Her series Imagine Finding Me consists of double self-portraits, with images of her present self beside her past self in various places she has visited. As Otsuka says: "The digital process becomes a tool, almost like a time machine, as I'm embarking on the journey to where I once belonged and at the same time becoming a tourist in my own history." - via AGO

Hi! and.. thanks! <3 I always fancied a play on words, so I figured protagonist had a nice ring. That and I always felt suiting for me? I used a part of my name/nick that I'm called and changed the 't' to an 'e'. I was running around with the name antagonise too, haha.
edit: duh I totally wrote this on my other blog. but I merged proton + ise to get protonise just to flow with protagonise. OTL

Lupin the Third live action film confirmed, releasing summer 2014!
It's finally happening! Filming for the official live action Lupin movie began in Japan during last month. A further two weeks of shooting will take place in Thailand during the new year.
The film is set for release summer next year and sees all five of the main cast in the spotlight. Monkey Punch himself, while not looking to be directly involved with the film, has given his blessing and states that he is pleased with the casting.
Here is a quotation from the article posted up on Anime News Network earlier today:
Monkey Punch's Lupin III manga and anime franchise is getting a live-action film adaptation in summer 2014 starring actor Shun Oguri (Captain Harlock, Hana Yori Dango, Gokusen, Space Brothers). Oguri underwent 10 months of action training for the role, losing 8 kilograms (about 17.6 pounds).
Additional cast members include Meisa Kuroki (Space Battleship Yamato [2010], Crows Zero II) as Fujiko Mine, Tetsuji Tamayama (NANA, Casshern) as Daisuke Jigen, Gou Ayano (Ushijima the Loan Shark, Rurouni Kenshin, Helter Skelter, Bunny Drop) as Goemon Ishikawa, and Tadanobu Asano (Thor, 47 Ronin) as Detective Koichi Zenigata.
Ryuhei Kitamura (Godzilla: Final Wars, Azumi) is directing the film, and Mataichiro Yamamoto (Crows Zero, Azumi) is writing the script.
The movie will chronicle how the five main characters meet and how they become the "Lupin Crew."
The film will also include an original character, Lupin's nemesis named Michael Lee, who will be played by Jerry Yan (Meteor Garden), a member of the Taiwanese popular group F4. Other cast members include South Korean actor Kim Joon (South Korean Hana Yori Dango) and Thai actor Thanayong Wongtrakul (The Man from Nowhere).
The live action film has been rumoured for quite some time now. Like it or not, this time it appears to actually be happening! We can only hope that this will be part of an exciting year for Lupin fans in 2014, with a rumoured TV series also in the works.
We will keep you up-to-date with any news regarding the film as it happens.

"Hunk for the Holidays by Katie Lane was a very enjoyable contemporary romance novel. It's a book full of humor, steamy scenes and a huge attraction between the main characters Cassie and James.
Cassie McPherson is a strong independent woman who works for the family's construction business. Lately they are losing some major jobs to a new rival in the business and her father is furious about it. Since the holidays are coming up Cassie will try to schedule a meeting with this James Sutton right after Christmas and hopefully sort things out. But first she has to go to the Company Christmas party and in order to keep the matchmakers away she hired an escort for company.
James Sutton is a handsome determined man who wants to succeed with his new business, but he isn't aware that the major company M&M Construction sees him as a threat. When James arrives at the M&M Construction building for a meeting with the boss Al McPherson, he meets Cassie for the first time. She mistakes him for the hired escort and since he already is in tuxedo he goes along without revealing his identity. James feels attracted to Cassie and wants to enjoy the evening with her, but how does he tell her he's the one and only James Sutton, the owner of the rival company.
I loved Cassie and James together, even though they are "enemies" without knowing, the attraction between them is huge. They enjoy each other's company until Cassie discovers the truth and of course she is mad as hell. Especially when James had enough time to tell her the truth, but luckily for them it all turns out at the end.
I also loved the side love story between Cassie's best friend and one of her brothers. They have been walking around in circles with their feelings for each other and with a little help of a great Aunt and a little stubborn girl; they are pushed in the right direction.
Katie Lane has written a fabulous novel with great characters, funny scenes and a tight family bond. I'm definitely going to check out more of Miss Lane's book, because I love her writing and characters.
I received this novel as an ARC, courtesy of Net Galley"

In some of his work, Laurence Mark Janifer published under that name. Elsewhere he was Larry M. Harris. This work was published under the Harris name, so we follow that. (This may have been a personal issue: he was born Harris, but Janifer was a grandfather's name.)
Although the Masquerade itself, as a necessary protection against non-telepaths, was not fully formulated until the late years of the Seventeenth Century, groups of telepaths-in-hiding existed long before that date. Whether such groups were the results of natural mutations, or whether they came into being due to some other cause, has not yet been fully determined, but that a group did exist in the district of Offenburg, in what is now Prussia, we are quite sure. The activities of the group appear to have begun, approximately, in the year 1594, but it was not until eleven years after that date that they achieved a signal triumph, the first and perhaps the last of its kind until the dissolution of the Masquerade in 2103.

TWO Katherine men are lucky to be alive to tell their tale after they were chased by a 3.5 to 4m saltwater crocodile.
Long-term Katherinite Gary Hickey was paddling with his 3.5m kayak alongside his mate Paul Ghirardello in the King River, 30km west of Katherine, on Sunday last week, when they suddenly spotted a large saltwater crocodile.
"It was maybe 150m away from us and it launched straight towards us," Mr Hickey, 47, said.
"My mate was trying to get away.
"I have never seen anyone pedal and paddle a Hobie kayak at the same time.
"I guess he was thinking he didn't have to outrun the croc but me.
"I was laughing at him and then I realised I wasn't in a very good spot."
Mr Hickey said the saltwater crocodile approached his kayak "unbelievably fast".
"I thought 'Holy s***, all I have here to defend myself is harsh language and a paddle - I'm pushing my luck'."

Earlier this year Katherine man Sean Cole was taken by a saltie while swimming in a croc infested river.
In June - for the first time ever - rangers caught a saltwater crocodile in a freshwater mining dam near Pine Creak.
Rangers said they caught a record number of saltwater crocs in Territory waterways last year.

San Francisco police are trying to get in touch with the registered owner of a car that was found engulfed in flames next to the Twin Peaks Reservoir early Tuesday morning, a police spokesman said.
A black, two-door BMW apparently went off an embankment on a sharp turn near the Twin Peaks lookout point around 4 a.m. and landed on a service road near the reservoir, where it burst into flames, San Francisco police spokesman Officer Gordon Shyy said.
Police conducted an extensive search of the area, including sending a dive team into the reservoir to check for anyone who was possibly ejected from the car, but did not find anyone, Shyy said.
Investigators later found out around 10:30 a.m. that the registered owner of the car is alive and had made contact with his family, according to Shyy.
"We now just want to be able to talk to him and see what happened," Shyy said.
He said the car had not been reported stolen.

On the surface Broadchurch is operating in very familiar territory for British television. It's a multi-part whodunnit serial of the sort that the UK has pumped out for decades.
They're very good at it. The format doesn't really work in the US where the network requirement for 13 to 24 episodes simply requires too much story.
Judged purely on that level Broadchurch is a success. The clues of what is going on are there when you go back back in your mind after the revelation and there are plenty of red-herrings and smaller mysteries to be solved along the way.
Yes our protagonist is yet another policeman who bucks the system and has a secret he's hiding. But the relationship between David Tennant's Detective Inspector Alec Hardy and Olivie Coleman's Detective Sergeant Ellie Miller is a complex one.
It starts out prickly, made worse by Hardy's remarkably poor people skills and slowly warms into an effective work relationship.
Hardy is broken you see. Physically and emotionally. He's not a maverick. He's just awkward and driven. But Ellie isn't. She's genuinely happily married. Comfortable. Part of the scenery of this town. These are not the staples of US procedurals.
Usually these whodunnits operate primarily on an intellectual level. The challenge of solving the crime. Here there is a strong attempt to go far beyond that.
Again and again we explore what happens to these people after the murder. How do they go on with their life? What affect does the investigation itself have on the community as secrets get unearthed that won't be buried again?
And that's where Broadchurch really excels and separates itself from other shows. After following these characters for 8 episodes, the finale was both gripping and heart wrenching. No big action sequences, no chases, just emotional drama.
And it keeps asking the viewer questions too. Yes we get a lynch mob scene. We see people rushing to judgement. But then we see them being wrong. And them in turn being judged. We see the effect that previous investigations have had on people. How the doubts and questions linger years afterwards.
As far as I'm concerned Broadchurch is a must see show. And Fox is all set to do a US remake So do yourself a favor and watch it now before they butcher it.

Hank From 'Breaking Bad' Just Joined Twitter
You hopefully heard it here first — Dean Norris, the actor who plays Hank Schrader on AMC's Breaking Bad — has just started a Twitter account. His first tweet ends by calling everyone bitches, which is good. The authenticity of the account appears to have been verified by his co-star Betsy Brandt, who plays his wife Marie on the show, who just tweeted that she's pretty much responsible for Norris joining the 21st century. Go follow him so you can retweet him before your friends do (his first two have already been classics), because he's already getting like 2k followers every ten minutes or so.

A different way to understand the magnitude of World War II.
Countless books exist about the Second World War and in those can be found all of the statistics to be had: numbers killed, bombs dropped, battles won and lost, ad infinitum. But to see these numbers as infographics gives the reader a fresh perspective on the war.
World War II in Numbers uses color graphics and succinct text to tell the key stories of the battles that engulfed the globe and affected virtually everyone alive during the 1940s.
To see the war set out in numbers tells the story with a new certainty: • how the Polish Home Army carried out more than 700,000 acts of sabotage • the large number of Japanese lost in the Pacific War • how Allied tanks stood up to the armor-piercing power of the Panzerfaust • the damage the Kamikaze inflicted on Allied ships during the Okinawa Campaign • the number of unexploded bombs reported on the island of Malta • that in 1944 alone 914,637 tons of bombs were dropped on German cities • by how much the Allied forces outnumbered the Germans in Normandy • how the ten costliest land battles in WWII compare with those of WWI.
The book sets out six chapters with topics discussed in two- and four-page infographics spreads, including certainty: • Preparation for War -- Territorial skirmishes, shifting borders, militarism and alliances. • Land Campaigns -- Key battles and the military might that fought them. • Weapons and Innovations - From the Polish Calvary to the A-Bomb. • In the Air -- Aces and blitzes. • At Sea -- The war expands to the world's oceans. • Costs -- The price of war and its legacy.
Compelling, a superb teaching tool, ideal for casual reading and a must-have for military hobbyists, World War II in Numbers is an exciting and powerful perspective on the global conflict.
If you're a nonfiction reader, you're in luck. 2013 is a veritable goldmine of good reading for history buffs and...... READ MORE

I Am Socially Awkward
Even Typing This Evokes Feelings Of Embarrasment
ok ill make another story here on ep .. im a strange cluster of personality disorders or so called (avpd,GAD,dpd,ect/al).. i joined this group because without any doubt im 'socially awkward' in my own eyes .. and in fact the 'awkwardness' well .. it came over time to dominte my life and endanger every possability of making and maintaining relationships with others.as i titled it .. even as i sit here typing these words at the back of my mind is a lingering doubt of what a 'tool' im going to look like , spilling my emotional guts out online to a whole lot of people who i dont know and who dont know me and ofc .. i find it hard to imagine that anybody would care , for my selfish little story about my selfish way of life, .. being so selfishly pre-occupied with what other people will think of me or even if i will find some belonging anywhere in any group as i make efforts to avoid even being close to the people who are part of my life .
my social awkwardness follows me everywhere .. i used to escape it online .. but even in chats it effects me .. if other people are talking i dont like to interupt , or to feel asif i have interupted .. the flow of conversation in the chatroom.
Nicetoknowyou and peacebeyours,.

In Gray government, questions won't stop
Conjecture rife on who may be next
Federal prosecutors provided answers last week to one of the most-pressing questions about D.C. Mayor Vincent C. Gray's 2010 primary campaign - whether or not staffers paid a minor opponent to stay in the race with the hope he would continue his verbal attacks on incumbent Mayor Adrian M. Fenty.
The answer is yes.
At least three people within the campaign conspired to make secret payments to Sulaimon Brown totaling $2,810, the U.S. Attorney's Office said. But even as they settled a burning question that had been explored by D.C. Council members and a House oversight committee for much of 2011, they opened the door to speculation about a wider "shadow campaign" within the Gray team and the role, if any, a raid on the home and office of one of the District's most prolific political donors might have on the long-running probe.
"We don't have a final resolution yet, really," said council member Mary M. Cheh, Ward 3 Democrat who conducted an investigation last year into apparent nepotism during the Gray administration's hiring process and Mr. Brown's claims in March 2011 that he had been paid under the table and promised a city job by the Gray team. "It looked as though there had to be a group of people. It wasn't a lone wolf."
What is new, she said, is the lingering question of "who else was included in this scheme?"
Mr. Brown's claims have been validated as they pertain to two men, Thomas W. Gore and Howard L. Brooks, who pleaded guilty last week to making the furtive payments while working on the Gray campaign's finance team. But their plea papers revealed the existence of at least $4,000 in money orders that were contributed to the Gray campaign through "straw donors" - people who contribute under the names of another person or obtain an unreported reimbursement for their donation.
Brooks' attorney, Glenn F. Ivey, said Thursday that he does not know if his client spent any of his own funds on the money orders.
So a new question is at hand - where did this money come from?
"The shadow campaign has not been fully disclosed yet, to the extent that there really was one," William Lightfoot, a former council member and chairman of Mr. Fenty's 2010 campaign, said Friday on "The Politics Hour" on WAMU-FM (88.5).
Court papers said Brooks signed his name on four money orders comprising a $2,000 donation to the Gray campaign on June 1.
He also signed the name of a friend, described as "Person Four," on four money orders to donate $2,000 to the Gray campaign on the same day, prosecutors said.
Although the friend's name has not been made public, a contribution from Silver Spring resident Leroy Ellis matches the prosecutors' description of the donation. Mr. Ellis, a friend and neighbor of Brooks, later obtained a job in the city's Department of Employment Services.
For his part, Mr. Gray last week deflected questions about the charges and asked city residents to "let this investigation play out."
Speculation and intrigue surrounding the Gray campaign ran rampant throughout most of 2011, starting in March when Mr. Brown was fired from a job at the D.C. Department of Healthcare Finance and went to The Washington Post with his claims. Interest in the allegations turned quiet while another sitting politician, Harry Thomas Jr., Ward 5 Democrat, was forced to resign from the council and pleaded guilty to stealing more than $350,000 in public funds.
But federal agents in March raided the home and office of Jeffrey E. Thompson - an accountant and city contractor who has used a network of companies and associates to donate thousands to almost all sitting D.C. politicians - as part of an investigation into campaign finance issues.

""Avaliado por um cliente do Hoteis.com em 19 Dez 2012
Este Hotel surpreendeu-me pela positiva em todos os items acima mencionados. De realçar a atenção, simpatia e espírito de cooperação das funcionárias da recepção, com quem contactei, que projectam a elevada qualidade deste hotel. Recomendo vivamente e numa próxima deslocação a Miami não hesitarei em repetir a mesma experiencia.
"Very Happy with this Hotel"Avaliado por um cliente do Hoteis.com em 27 Out 2012
Following TAs' reviews and finding a good promotion on a hotels site, we decided for this hotel. Another important reason to us, was, that the hotel provides a computer near the lobby, where I could check the internet. We were initially looking in the Plantation area, but the prices seemed quite expensive. As I know the area and we had a car, I had no problems on booking here, knowing that I was just a few miles away of shopping areas (Sawgrass, Plantation and Ft. Lauderdale). Near the hotel we can easily get either I-95 and/or I-595 and the surrounding area seemed OK. We were happy with the room, the breakfast, the cleaning of the room and common areas. The reception staff was very polite (as expected), but nevertheless it is worth to mention. We never saw the usual confusion in the lobby area, which is so common in the Plantations' hotels, so here was even better. I can not comment on things that I didn't use, like the internet (wifi), fitness center, the shuttle and the pool. On the last day, the receptionist gave us some extra time after the check-out time, which made a huge (positive) difference for our subsequent travel arrangements. I hope to stay at this hotel again, on a future visit to Florida.
"The perfect place to stay in Miami!"Avaliado por um cliente do Hoteis.com em 30 Ago 2012

"Excelente localização e pessima conservação"
Localização não poderia ser melhor, na beira da praia e a 2 quadras da Lincoln road, nota 10. Mas o hotel é muito antigo e varias partes estão caindo os pedaços. Uma reforma geral em todo hotel é mais do que necessaria e urgente. Não ha internet no quartos e isso é pessimo. Só ficaria la novamente se não encontrasse outro com melhor localização.Avaliação genuína de um cliente do Hoteis.com

"Depende de seu objetivo..."
Este é um dos hoteis mais bem localizados que jpa me hospedei, porém não me hospedaria nele de novo... No Lobby do hotel vc pensa q ele nçao é tão ruim até pegar a chave (de plástico meio velha parece até em braille) e subir para o quarto. O corredor tem carpete velho e com cheiro de cigarro, a porta do quarto é velha e revela um quarto espaçoso, mas […] com cara de espelunca... as toalhas não eram exatamente a coisa mais limpa q jpa vi. Os sabonetes de desfaziam, o vazo sanitário tinha uma mancha q eu tirei. A banheira com marcas de pé e a cortina de banho nojenta... Tomei banho de chinelo e me sequei o minimo possivel tds os dias. O Quarto tinha 2 camas de casal com uma colcha feia e velha, qdo retirava a colcha revelada umas fronhas não muito limpas (sorte q levei as minhas) e um cobertor marrom surrado cheio de furos q não usei por nada! A TV dakelas velhas pekenas e redondas. Fui pedir pizza um dia e o telefone tb estava nojento. Entre meu quarto tinham duas portas tipo, quarto conjulgado, e as paredes super finas, dava pra ouvir td e qq cosia dos hospedes ao lado. Enfim... se vc for uma pessoa desapegada de luxo, não ligar pra essas coisas, o hotel é muito bem localisado. Pé na areia e a 1 quarteirão da Lincoln Rd., porém, se vc busca o mpinimo de conforto e higiene, se vc gosta de estar bem hospedado, tomar um banho gostoso, se secar em toalhas macias e dormir em uma gostosa e grande cama de hotel: ESSE NÃO É O LUGAR! Tirando que eu fiz muitas compras e tinhamos medo de sermos roubados, mas foi td bem! Meus amigos ficaram no RED há alguns quarteirões de lá, não tem a mesma localização e tb é um pouco "cansado", mas achei bemmm melhot e mais limpo! É isso, boa estadia em Miami!

Estrutura do hotel boa, quartos antigos com sistema de ar-condicionado defasado mas nada muito fora do esperado pelo preço.

Hotel under renovation:( poor service would not go back at allAvaliação genuína de um cliente da Expedia
My girlfriend and I had driven from Key West and arrived late in the evening at hotel. I had to park illegally a block away and walk to hotel, because the lobby parking lot was coned off. Walking in there, you smell dust and see dirt everywhere. There is no AC in the lobby. The floor that we were assigned to (3rd) had dirty and grime everywhere. This […] is a horribly managed remodeled job. I am in the construction industry, and you always leave a pristine area where you have guests, and work in other areas. We took pics that show walls seperating and horrible paint jobs. What an unbelieveable mess up on management's part. I hope they realize that we will never be back there again.

Disgusting doesn't begin to describe the level of uncleanliness this hotel represented. While the website of the hotel indicates heavy construction, it doesn't allude to the fact that the hotel looks condemned. I understand construction is a necessity for renovations when you are trying to keep up your brand for a tourist-driven area, but while half […] the hotel is under lock and key, what is the problem with keeping the available rooms presentable and sellable for use? The rooms that the staff were so eager to sell look as if they have been sitting vacant and dirty for at least 6 months. Had these realistic photos been posted on the hotel's actual website, I would not have wasted my time or money; however, the photos on the hotel's website lead travelers to believe this hotel is at the same level of quality as a Wyndham.

Absolutely horrible! The hotel looked like a demolition site. It did not even look open. When we first got there, the entrance was blocked off and there was like a dumpster there and all this construction material because I believe they were doing a renovation. No one was behind the desk when got there and we had to look around and call out for someone […] to help us. The room was sweltering hot and the air conditioner was not working. The room just looked old and outdated. They had an old outdated tv as well that did not even have an air conditioner. At one point, my girlfriend and I wanted to take showers and there was no running water at all. We had to go and complain to staff downstairs and then they turned it back on like 20 minutes later. And when the water was turned on, it was brown in color and stained the floor of the tub! Lastly, as we were checking out, we parked our car in the round driveway in front of the hotel so we can easily put out luggages and suitcases into the car and when we went back upstairs the employee behind the desk called a tow truck to come tow our vehicle, even though I told him we were checking out.

Reaves scores twice, backs Elliott in Blues' win
ST. LOUIS (AP) - Ryan Reaves scored twice and Brian Elliott earned his NHL-leading 10th win in April in the St. Louis Blues' 4-1 victory over the Calgary Flames on Thursday night.
Reaves scored the Blues 1st and 4th goals in the game. In between, Andy McDonald scored a power play goal and Alex Steen scored the goal that made it a 3-1 St. Louis lead.
St. Louis, which has won five of six, moved into fourth place in the Western Conference. The Blues have 58 points, one ahead of Los Angeles and San Jose. They can clinch the No. 4 seed and home ice in the opening round of the playoffs with a victory over Chicago on Saturday.
Los Angeles and San Jose will meet Saturday in the final regular-season game for both teams.
Calgary, which will miss the playoffs for the fourth straight year, has won five of eight but will end the season Friday at Chicago.
Elliott made 18 saves in improving to 10-2 in April. He has three shutouts in the month and has allowed only 15 goals.
Blues Acquire Defenseman Jay Bouwmeester
(ST. LOUIS) – St. Louis Blues General Manager Doug Armstrong announced Monday the club has acquired defenseman Jay Bouwmeester from Calgary in exchange for minor league defenseman Mark Cundari, the rights to goaltender Reto Berra as well as a conditional 1st round pick in 2013. If the Blues miss the playoffs this season, the Flames will receive the Blues' fourth round pick in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft and St. Louis' first round pick in the 2014 draft.
"We've been looking to acquire a top left handed defenseman and Jay represents that and is an elite player in our game," said Armstrong.
Bouwmeester, 29, has dressed in 33 games for the Flames this season posting 15 points (six goals, nine assists) and 16 penalty minutes while ranking 13th among all defenseman in time on ice per game (25:09). The 6'4, 212-pound defenseman has appeared in 10 National Hockey League (NHL) season, including stints with Florida and Calgary, recording 300 points (71 goals, 229 assists) and 463 penalty minutes in 750 career games. In addition, Bouwmeester has played in 621 consecutive NHL games.
The Edmonton, Alberta native was originally drafted by Florida in the first round (3rd overall) of the 2002 Entry Draft. Bouwmeester will not count against the Blues 23 man roster until he clears through immigration procedures.

Solid Oct. retail sales lift hopes for US economy
November 20, 2013 @ 1:51 pm
WASHINGTON (AP) - An increase in shopping last month during the partial government shutdown suggests that the U.S. economy may be more resilient than some have feared.
Retail sales rose 0.4 percent in October, the Commerce Department said Wednesday, after being flat the previous month. The increase showed that many consumers remain willing to spend as the all-important holiday shopping season nears.
At the same time, other data released Wednesday point to an economy that's still struggling to reach full health:
_ Sales of existing homes fell 3.2 percent last month from September, the National Association of Realtors said. Higher mortgage rates and a shortage of homes on the market contributed to the drop-off. So did delays by potential homebuyers during the government shutdown.
_ Businesses boosted their stockpiles 0.6 percent in September, the Commerce Department said. Some economists worry that businesses may slow their stockpiling if consumer demand falters at the end of the year. If that happened, JPMorgan Chase economist Daniel Silver said it could exert a "significant drag on growth."
But the upturn in retail sales last month was a positive surprise. Analysts had speculated that retail sales would be unchanged in October, slowed by the 16-day partial government shutdown and by cheaper gasoline that would mean less money spent at the pump.
Whatever money many consumers saved on gas in October they spent elsewhere. Excluding sales at service stations, retail spending rose 0.5 percent. Sales of furniture, electronics, appliances and clothing all showed solid gains.
Congress likely blunted some of the impact of the shutdown by guaranteeing back pay for 800,000 furloughed federal workers.
"There could be the possibility that all those furloughed workers knew they were going to be paid, so they may have taken the opportunity to take a mini-vacation and go shopping," said Jennifer Lee, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets.
Because consumers fuel about 70 percent of U.S. economic activity, expectations have arisen that the better-than-expected retail sales last month could build momentum for November and December.
Before October's retail sales report, most analysts predicted that the overall economy would grow at a weak annual rate below 2 percent in the current quarter. But after the report was issued Wednesday, Paul Dales, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics, boosted his forecast: He thinks additional consumer spending will cause the overall economy to grow at an annual rate between 2 percent and 2.5 percent this quarter.
Coupled with the retail sales was a slight decline last month in consumer prices.
The consumer price index fell 0.1 percent in October, the Labor Department said. A sharp 2.9 percent drop in gasoline prices largely caused inflation to be held in check. Over the past 12 months, inflation has averaged 1 percent, well below the Federal Reserve's 2 percent target.
U.S. gasoline prices began falling in the spring and reached two-year lows earlier this month. The average price of a gallon of gas was $3.21, according to AAA's Daily Fuel Gauge Report.
And just as clothing purchases rose in October, consumers benefited from declining apparel prices. They fell 0.5 percent for the second consecutive month.
But inflation rates this low are a double-edged sword: Lower prices tend to signal an economy struggling to grow at a healthy pace.
Inflation has been modest over the past four years, with prices held down by the weak recovery from the Great Recession. Unemployment remains high at 7.3 percent. And many Americans who do have jobs aren't receiving pay increases. That's made it difficult for consumers to spend more and for retailers to charge more.
"Can spending hold up?" said Joel Naroff, president of Naroff Economic Advisors, in a client note. "That is not clear. Real earnings, which are adjusted for inflation, rose moderately but only because inflation fell. Not adjusted for inflation, compensation went essentially nowhere."
