MAMOx Update
- Posted by DynamicHedge
- on February 24th, 2013
The last time the MAMOx indicator turned was in the second week of December prior to the bull run. After two months of bullish skew the MAMOx still favors the long side, but I've noted that momentum has started to wane in the last couple weeks.
If this tool gives provides traders and investors one thing, it's patience. At this stage, the bull market trend is still innocent until proven guilty. Proactively protecting gains after such a long run is important. Price action over the next week or two will be critical.
For anyone who has not followed this indicator, the blue line above the zero line is bullish, below is bearish.

Actor Alan Cumming wore protection when he blew past Monica Lewinsky in NYC yesterday.
The 35-year-old former White House intern was left holding the bag.
I love these comments about Monica being young and confused. GIVE ME A FREAKING BREAK. She was 21-22 and old enough to know right from wrong. I'm a huge Clinton person and I have blamed Bill plenty for his part. But I still think she's a skank, because anybody with respect for themselves wouldn't throw themselves at a married man, period. I don't defend what Clinton did, but she never gave a crap about him, she was just infatuated and stupid and he was stupid too. But she's a fat cow who probably is still sleeping with married men and having no respect for herself. She ruined her life and BIll risked his presidency on this P.O.S. who didn't love him. But I can't believe after all these years, people still think she was the innocent victim in all of this. Seriously. Get a clue folks.
If she was 21, than she would be 36 because she's only 6 years older than me and I'm about to turn 30. That's how I figured it out. She'd be in her mid thirties now though.
you are wrong
Keeping weight down is a hard and mostly impossible goal. Being in the public spotlight must compound the problem a hundred times!
She has a Master's degree from the London School of Economics. Some of you on here can't even graduate high school.
Pretty Girl..I know if she would loose some weight...She has lovely hair, skin, eyes..
Wow. So apparently getting a Masters Degree exempts you from having no morals or respect for yourself? Man, I'm impressed now!

Who are you to judge? The thing with Bill Clinton happened 15 years ago....she was young.
Everything thought she was some airhead.......guess she proved you all wrong!
I'd hit that we know she likes to blow : )
She is one sick person who would keep dress with seman on it unless they were up to no good guess what she was !!
What is up with all the hateful comments? I agree with previous posts that state she looks great and looks like most women; not fat and definitely not deserving of being called names for her weight. That scandal was 12 years ago. I don't agree with her actions then, but don't think it's fair that he's made out to be some superhero stud for this, and she is the one vilified. Most of us made some very poor decisions when we were in our early 20's too, but are fortunate that they didn't make the national news.
Monica, if you or someone you knows read these posts, realize that not everyone out there is judging you for your past. I hope you are living a great life.
Summer S., you're a typical woman, never accept responsibility for your mistakes, always stand up for other women like a union even whey they do something stupid and irresponsible.
I'd do her for sure. I think she looks hoTTTT

The Contrarian: 'Sorry' is a Hard Word
The desire of western governments, most notably those of Britain, to apologise for the actions of their predecessors threatens to simplify the complexities of history, argues Tim Stanley.
When is it right for nations to say sorry for things they did in the past? Britain has again been confronted with the legacy of her colonial period and opinions differ on whether or not she owes her former subjects an apology. Visiting Pakistan in April, the prime minister David Cameron cried mea culpa for the ongoing crisis in Kashmir. Referring to the botched partitioning of British India in 1947, he said: 'As with so many of the world's problems, we are responsible for the issue in the first place.' A few days later a case opened in the UK High Court on behalf of four elderly Kenyans demanding compensation for mistreatment by the British government during the Mau Mau uprising of 1952-60. Their claims of torture were well-substantiated and the Foreign Office declined to issue a denial.
Saying sorry is generally a good thing; it is humbling and cathartic. But the conditions for doing so must be precise otherwise it has no meaning. Post-imperial powers certainly owe an apology for any behaviour that might be labelled 'sadistic' or 'unnecessary'. But saying sorry for something that was inevitable or beyond the control of the colonial power involved seems empty. Apologising for anything that was tragic but helped to prevent something worse is altogether wrong.
There were many decisions taken at the end of empire that were regrettable, but if an apology is to be offered then it ought to be rooted in a sophisticated understanding of what really happened. The Mau Mau uprising was not a genocidal war by imperialists against their terrified subjects. It was a civil war begun by radical Kikuyu Africans against the British authorities and, crucially, the vast majority of moderate African Kenyans. The Mau Mau terrorist organisation murdered at least 1,800 fellow Kikuyus and Africans from other tribes, compared with just 200 British soldiers and 32 European settlers. Their targets included women and children; they broke into settlers' homes and murdered whole families as they slept. On March 25-26th, 1953 Mau Mau soldiers marched 120 Africans into huts and set fire to them.
It is true that the British authorities responded with a contemptible disdain for human rights. Over 100,000 Kenyans were interrogated for sympathies with the Mau Mau and 'processed' through labour camps. At the worst camp, Hola, recently revealed documents show that torture was common and ignored by the colonial administration. Upon receiving a report of prisoners being burnt alive and castrated, British Attorney General Eric-Griffiths Jones concluded: 'If … we are going to sin, we must sin quietly.'
An apology is owed for individual breaches of human rights and the suffering that the innocent endured. But it should be remembered that Britain was not as savage or superior as the French were in Algeria or the Portuguese were in Angola. During the uprising the British carried out land reform and set a timetable for independence that went well beyond nationalist demands. Money was poured into education and union activism was encouraged to create a new class of professional democrats. Parliamentary inquiries were held into conditions at Hola and the camp was closed down. Moreover, if Britain had immediately evacuated then the bloodshed would have continued and Kenya might have descended into anarchy or dictatorship (as happened in the Belgian Congo). The new government of independent Kenya acknowledged the Mau Mau's violent nihilism by suppressing the movement and ignoring its claims over ancestral lands.
An unconditional apology for the policy of crushing the Mau Mau would ignore the context of bloody ethnic conflict and the risks involved in withdrawal. It is also falsely implies that the British enjoyed victimising locals when – as in Cyprus, Northern Ireland and elsewhere – its actions were tempered by domestic protest and a weary sense of responsibility towards subject peoples. Even if a qualified sorry is offered whoever gives it must consider the political implications. Regimes in Zimbabwe, North Korea or Iran have manipulated popular memories of past misdeeds to whip up domestic support and silence foreign critics. One would not like to justify their fantasies by apologising for the West's past without some airing of the facts first.

"Last year, I taught fifth grade at an inner-city school near the heart of downtown. One week, I decided to do a unit on current central-eastern Africa. On the first day, I showed the IC film Emmy [from 2006]. I was blown away by how engaged my students were, and how effortless it was for me to keep their attention. Even my most challenging student showed signs of softening as they watched Emmy pretend to need a drink of water only to wipe a couple of tears from his eyes. My students actually seemed to care about these kids and what was happening to them in Uganda. On the last day of the unit, after watching and discussing another IC film, Sunday [from 2007], I asked my students to respond to the following writing prompt: "If you could write a letter to Joseph Kony, what would you say?" Immediately, every single one of my students began to write. I was amazed by the diligence and effort I was seeing from some of my students for the first time. Their thoughtfulness and depth superseded my expectations. I can honestly say that I saw a whole new side of some of my kids open up. Some were able to relate to Uganda's developing world conditions, others showed great sympathy unlike before, while some displayed a freshly-birthed activist side saying, "Ms. B! We need to do something!" It was humbling and moving for me to witness my students connect and be moved by something in a way unlike anything I had seen from them before." -Whitney Brammer
"Did you ever think about your own country? Did you ever cry? Did you ever think about what you are doing? Is this the way you find life?"
"Hopefully you will read this letter and you will question yourself because you are making too much damage in people's hearts…they are kids, not men like you, they can't fight you."
"Joseph you have better things to do than be a criminal."
"Stop robbing children because that's bad. If they took away your kid, wouldn't you be desperate?"
"…you don't need to steal children and brainwash them to kill other people. That's not going to give you what you want…God is watching you."
"Why do you do this? It's wrong, you shouldn't. And can you please stop."

We were told about Sbragia on our May trip by Brain over at Windsor Oaks. Went on his recommendation and will go back if for no other reason than to sit on that wonderful balcony and enjoying a bottle & view like we did in May!

Thanks for the great trip summary, Sky. I recently had the Venge 2010 Scouts Honor and thoroughly enjoyed it. We actually received a shipment from Venge today which included a few more. Also, we will have to look at William Harrison for our next visit this December; we are big fans of the good Cab Francs.

Great trip report!
We have Sbragia on our itinerary for this October - have not been there before so I'm pleased to hear your review.
Guess we'd better put Venge on the list, just not sure if we can squeeze it in this time. Like Hawkeye said, trip reports are a great source of new prospects

Hi Sky,
Thanks for the great report. It is through this Message Board that we learn of new and exciting places to visit.
On our last trip, like you, we discovered Venge. I thought their wines were very good and we did bring home the Reserve Cab along with the Bone Ash Vineyard Cab which we will open tonight when we go to dinner at our favorite restaurant here in Chattanooga. We always share with the GM and sent him a list of wines that we were considering taking and offered to let him select. He picked the Bone Ash Vineyard Cab. We also also share a taste with our favorite server. This does pay off as we always receive outstanding service and an occasional extra tidbit or desert.
Hope & Grace is one of our favorites in Yountville. They have some outstanding Cabs. By chance, did you have Matt Beverly as hour host. We really enjoyed him and have requested his service again for October.
Had not heard of Herb Lamb Vineyards. Will try and work that one in for October. Also will put Hunnicutt on our list.
Napa does tend to keep drawing you back. It is one of my favorite places on earth.

Okay, I had a pretty set itinerary but made many adjustments. I went to find small-production cabs and I got them. We had appointments each day, but not booked the entire day so I was able to have some fun.
Day 1
Now here's where we took a HUGE turn . . . we headed into northern Sonoma for Sbragia. I love their wines and communicated with their club rep via email, so I wanted to go! It was a nice 60 min drive form Calistoga. We bought the Dry Creek, Howell Mtn, and Mt Veeder cabs. Wanted to pull the trigger on the collaboration project with Joe Montana but held back. Sbragia has a great patio and also sells by the glass so you can have a nice afternoon there.
We finished up down the road at Dutcher Crossing and got a few syrahs and reserve cabs, along with their yummy port.
Day 2
After lunch we went to Yountville for Hope & Grace and their small production wines. The server was very informative and accommodating. I think we bought the most here: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Reserve Cab. Oh, also a nice, dry reisling for my wife's Thai food night with the girls.
Day 3
Then we were off to Hunnicutt, made by Kirk Venge once again. This was a 1 on 1 tasting again, but she said she can handle 3-4 parties at a time. It was midweek and we were the only appt. We did a cave tour, met Justin Hunnicutt, and had a nice relaxing tasting that included a white, merlot, Cutt red blend, and reserve Rutherford cab. We walked out with the Cutt, an '04 Napa cab for dinner at Cole's Chop House, and their big boy, the 9-3-5 cab blend from the best juice from all 3 main vineyards.
We finished the day and the trip at William Harrison Winery on Silverado Trail. Shelly at Hunnicutt recommended this place for their cab franc, a wonderful grape if done properly. This is a small tasting room with a lot of history. The cab franc was wonderful as was the cab sauvignon, and deals at $5 and $50 after all the reserves we purchased. They had not released their Rutherford Estate, a Bordeaux blend from all estate fruit, but it is something I may purchase without tasting based on the quality of the cab franc and cab sauvignon.
I really enjoyed this Napa experience with only 2-3 wineries each day. We never felt rushed, and we had options based on local referrals. I did my research and found some great places, but there are more to visit and I am already setting up my list.

"This wine comes from French clones 95 and 76, was fermented with wild yeast, had a portion of new oak and partial malolactic fermentation. There is no surprise that the resultant wine is complex and rich, but at the same time has maintained a structure that will reward cellaring. A light yellow in colour, the nose is framed by fig and nectarine that is wrapped in wood smoke and brioche. The palate displays layers of stone fruits, the oak is supporting and richer lees characters on the mid to back palate are restrained by precise acidity. Excellent length to finish, with the wine to give more in years to come."

Chris Shanahan – Delicate yet Deep and Rich! – The Canberra Times
"Even in the warmer 2013 season Soumah sits at the delicate end of the chardonnay spectrum, weighing in at just 12.7 per cent alcohol. Although delicate and zinging with fresh acidity, the wine offers deep, rich, fine flavours, combining grapefruit- and melon-like varietal flavour with the more exotic characters derived from fermentation with wild yeasts in oak barrels."

"This is delicate, complex, immediately appealing and of obvious high quality. It tastes of white peach, pear, apple and struck match, with oatmeal and fig-like characters lurking around the edges. Soft and creamy in the mouth, in general, but succulent and lengthy through the finish."

Andrew Graham – 93 points – Australian Wine Review
"The top Soumah Chardonnay and in resplendent form here. Handpicked, wild fermented, eight months on lees with some barrels allowed to go through malo. Careful balance. Hay and some banana esters on the nose with popcorn – it looks quite forward as befitting the warm vintage. The carefully creamy palate looks much fresher than the nose – excellent balance on with careful butter malo and sweet oak. It's definitely a richer, broader style this vintage but I can't hide the quality here – clean and clever. Drink early methinks and revel in that tension between creamy winemaking influences and carefully defined fruit. Yes!!"

"From high quality French clones 95 & 76, hand picked and wild yeast fermented in French oak (30% new) thereafter spending 8 months in barrel, with mlf in some of these barrels. All of this has been expertly managed, the wine with fleshy white peach and melon fruit, plus some creamy/figgy nuances."

Crisp, crunchy, sandy-textured Shiraz that shows with decent length and stretch of firm tannins. The cool climate upbringing shows in spice, white pepper and herbal notes, as does freshness of red berry fruit. Slinky drinking. Feels good.

Fine Wine Club – www.finewineclub.com.au – 17.8
Another cracking wine from the 2012 vintage in Victoria. The vibrant, ripe fruit leaps out of the glass, with cedar and spice to follow. The palate is fragrant, vibrant and supple with white pepper highlights. The fine tannins, whilst allowing the fruit to speak, build on the finish. An intense, youthful wine that should age well.

Mike Frost – 91 points – Courier Mail Brisbane
This Yarra Valley white shows lovely stone fruit and cream characters on the bouquet and palate with a complex palate helped by fermenting and aging in seasoned barriques for eight months. It'd go very well with seasoned chicken wings, barbecued chicken breast and chicken and macadamia sausages

Andrew Graham – 92 points – Oz Wine review
Attractive packaging, refreshing wines. That's the Soumah ethos, with this wine towing the light and fresh mode nicely. It smells of black pepper over black plum, the fruit and oak quite full considering the mid weight, cool clime style, the palate carrying plenty of acidity to keep everything quite vital, the tannins quite pithy. Too plummy and oaky to be confused with a Euro Syrah, yet carries the freshness to make it rather tasty. I liked it.
April 14, 2013 Skye Blox Chardonnay
Mike Frost – 90 points – Courier Mail
An Attractive Yarra Valley white at an equally attractive price, this shows citrus and stone fruit, a zippy mineral backbone and crisp finish. Enjoy it by itself over the next few years or try it with Chicken Kebabs or fresh seafood
April 14, 2012 Skye Blox Cabernet Sauvignon
Campbell Mattinson – +91 points – The Wine Front
This is an attractive style of wine at an attractive price. It's medium weight, easy-going enough, has a decent shift of blackcurrant-and-mulberry flavour, and has both the tannin and inherent complexity to age well. Dried herb, gum leaf and undergrowth notes make an appearance. Sappy, spicy oak too. Refreshing acidity. Both drinkable and cellarable.

Paul Ipolitto – Cracker of a White – 5 minute wine rush
I like Viognier as it works here with our climate and foodie culture and marries in with our love of Chardonnay. This makes sense growing this in the Yarra Valley to capitalise upon its regional conditions. This Viognier is a cracker of a white. Seamless lineal citrus pears and white peach in the aromas. Like the way that it delivers long and refined on the palate and tingles the tastebuds as well. Very decent drinking at $26. Will develop nicely with a few more years as well. Try it with salt and pepper squid.

Campbell Mattinson 92 points – The Wine Front
Appealing shiraz from the Yarra Valley. Lighter bodied, in a good way. It's light and juicy with a clip of sweet-toasty oak. Easy to drink but with fine-grained tannin and enough savoury, crushed-leaf, spicy notes to keep it from seaming simple. Dark cherry and blueberry fruit profile. You can easily drink this now though it should develop well. The antithesis of a blockbuster shiraz.

Gary Walsh – The Wine Front – 9o Points
Nice ripe style here. Apricots and peaches, cedar and spice, white flowers and a little cream. Medium to full bodied, light chalkiness to the texture, bright acid cut running through the juicy stone fruit and pineapple, with a touch of grapefruit to balance. Some citrus rind and cheesy flavours on the finish. Does not lack flavour, may be too much for some, but it's pretty good at its game.

Deep hot pink colour. Rich, ripe cherry, pinot noir aroma; very attractive, but rather full and ripe for a rose, perhaps. Lovely aromas and flavours, smooth and dry, clean and intense, with good balance. It's dry and soft, without obvious firmness, superbly harmonious, without evident sweetness or obvious acidity. Rich and generous yet very, very more-ish. A delicious rose style. A pity only 100 cases were made.

Andrew Graham – Australian Wine Review
Actually, odd it sounds but conventional it smells, the nose rather sweet and red fruited and generous, driven by the juiciness of young free-run Pinot juice. Yet the wine tastes dry, with the citrussy acid and chalkiness of cool clime Savagnin perking things up. The net combination is chubby but dry, red fruited and savoury, yet also quite chubby to finish. It at first seems all over the place, but as a fresh, savoury rosé it actually kinda works.

Medium full red/purple colour. Quite a meaty aroma with oak and some reduction – which blows off quickly. Savoury and firmly structured with abundant tannins and a firm after-grip. Rich, full-bodied pinot with density and chew, concentration and savoury follow-through. Impressive, and will mature superbly.

This release has an enjoyable elegance. It creeps up on you. It tastes of pear and melon and citrus, though it has a tonic-like character too. It's crisp and clean and a bit different at the same time. This 2013 release is one of the best of the line so far.

Tony Love – The Age, Melbourne
Delicate colours in the ruby to garnet spectrum are the first attraction here, followed by earthy, herbal and spice senses: woody thymes and leafy sages. The understated intensity offers a little dustiness, a touch of musk-like florals – all savoury and sensuous rather than demonstrative fruits. Style Counts!

A very decent wine of the moment, the moment is early warm weather Summer conditions that call out for light fresh reds and refreshing invigorating characters. Nice soft acidity accompanies those lovely delicious juicy red cherries, strawberries and raspberries. Light bodied and yet with substance on the finish, this is a welcoming entrancing wine that will match very well with a good Italian antipasto platter.

To paraphrase wine-wrangler Stu Knox from famed Sydney wine haunt Fix St James, 'it's Grigio Jim, but not as we know it' - slippery, textured, a touch of crunch too and has a fantastic bouquet of nashi pear, savoury spice and fresh cut flowers. Complex and delicious drinking.

From an emerging new label, which is producing most exciting whites out of the Yarra, this takes on a delicate bronze tint. As you contemplate it, the aromas swell with orange peel, white chocolate creaminess and floral notes. There is plenty to enjoy, along with a well crafted and energetic palate, vibrant white fruits, minerally textures and a zesty finish. Lots of interest; most tasty.

Savarro is Soumah's name for Savagnin and Soumah produces one of the better examples. A fragrant wine smelling of buttery apple tart with florals, white pepper and spice. What sets this apart from other local Savagnin's is its terrific texture and savouriness. Chill this down and enjoy with a bowl of spaghetti marinara.

Bright Red. Dried Cherries, redcurrant and rhubarb on the perfumed nose.

What's Happening
Brachetto is a native grape of North Eastern Italy, about an hour or so South of Milan. It is one of the only grapes that has a distinct flavour of Rose water and Strawberry, so exudes the idea that you are drinking Turkish Delight! The Italians make various styles, the most common being a slightly fizzy, lower alcohol sweet wine. We have however decided to make a dessert wine this year so it is full strength and still. It is perfect with strawberry based desserts, Pavola, Turkish delight or Rhubbarb and ice cream to name a few. It is also excellent with some full flavoured soft cheese. This is a wine of difference and something perfect for the upcoming dinner party.

We have increased our Italian Cheese offering and now have Occelli Testun Al Barolo. Known as Formaggio Ubriaco or 'drunken cheese', this specialty of North East Italy and is aged in wooden barrels containing the Nebiolo grape skins. The marinade leaves a purple stain and imparts a distinction wine barrel flavour.
Viognier is a genetic cousin of Nebbiolo so must have originated out of Italy at some point, probably in the first Millennia. The Viognier name is obscure but may have had something to do with the town of Vienne, an ancient Roman outpost on the northern reaches of the Rhone river and close to the modern day ancestral home. It is interesting to note that Viognier was almost extinct (down to just eight acres) in the mid 20th century until its popularity was revived firstly by new world interest in the variety and then by an explosion of plantings in France itself.
Viognier produces the most luscious of white wine. It is the only variety that envelopes the tongue in a silky liquid glove. This velvet juice is combined with an overt bouquet and flavour of peaches to deliver wine descriptions like 'Peaches and Cream'.
It is this 'Peaches and Cream' that we seek and in our quest we have planted three distinct clones of Viognier, some spaced at 3,700 vines per acre!
However, it is not only about the creamy lusciousness of the wine, it is also about a refined yet nervous spine that leaves a fresh clean-cut finish. If we pick too early we lose the peaches, if we pick too late we will deliver an oily, clumsy wine. So it has to be just right, a goldilocks temperament so to speak, and we endeavour to get it juuuuuust right every year!

This morning while stopping at the local convenience for coffee, I approached the coffee area. As I got near I notice a husband/boyfriend with his lady and small boy who looked about 3 yrs old. The male looked uptight when I got near. I live in the south and despite the stereotype, not everyone is prejudice, but you still run into people that have ingrained discomfort around different people. I walked away pretending to look for something else and returned when the father left. The mother and child were still finishing up as I grabbed a coffee cup. The little boy looked at me, smiled, reached for a coffee stirrer that was right next to him and said "here you go". The mother quickly said "don't do that." The boy looked up at his mother and said, "he needs it for his coffee." I smiled at the boy and made sure that he saw me put the stirrer in my cup to let him know I was going to use even if his mom to him no.
Next I walked to the register and the family was paying for there things. An Middle eastern man was behind them. The little boy looked up at the man, smiled and started having a conversation with the man about the candy he wanted to buy.
As I walked to my car, I passed the family and all I heard was the father cussing and having a fit about not having enough tobacco for his rolling papers.
I hope this little boy will be smart enough and strong enough to remain the treasure he is today.

Sean T Lewis: Armistice Day 2006: Honor Veterans,Wage Peace
by Sean T Lewis
In all of human history, no sane person has gone into battle thinking, "This is what I want for my children." No one has sliced another person open with a sword, driven a bayonet into a heart, shot into an ambush, launched a missile, or raided a civilian home with the thought, "Someday, my children will get to do this." No one has taken a bullet, smelled their own burning flesh, lost a limb to a roadside bomb, contracted cancer from Agent Orange, or hung himself out of guilt with the idea, "I can't wait until my kids get to experience this." Yet generation after generation after generation, this is what we do.
The Next Chapter in Bush's Revisionist History: Himself
While America will get a new Congress this January, it looks like we already have a new president. Ever since George Bush was sworn in six years ago, he has been stubborn, contentious, and above all, divisive. He refused to compromise or even listen to anyone that was not already convinced he was right. Because he was wrong, America suffered.
Akhil Bhardwaj: Cascading Failure -- A BuzzFlash Reader Contribution
by Akhil Bhardwaj
As I read about Rummy being replaced/fired, then heard about Ken possibly stepping down, Chafee quitting the Republican party, etc., I was reminded of the following:
Cascading failure (loss of elections) is common in power grids (political parties) when one of the elements fails (George) and shifts its load to nearby elements (other Republicans) in the system. Those nearby elements are then pushed beyond their capacity so they become compromised and shift their load onto other elements (Fox News, Rush, and friends).
Dems Must Use Successful Midterm as Opportunity to Improve Elections, not Reason to Stop Fighting
The dust has settled and it is time to step back and look at voting irregularities across the nation. Unlike their counterparts, Democrats have long championed electoral reform, especially after the Florida debacle in 2000 that cost America its duly elected president. Now that Democrats have secured a decisive victory and control Congress without dispute, they should fight even more aggressively to improve elections since they can no longer be dismissed as merely sore losers.
Cindy Sheehan: Another Open Letter to George

First of all, I would have given anything to be a fly on the wall on November 8th, when we all knew fairly early that the Democrats had taken back the House of Representatives. I would also have loved to be in the room when Senator George Allen conceded and the Senate was lost. I hope you realize that your demented policies and miserably failed leadership style is responsible for the thumping that your party took this week. Even though I couldn't be a secret first hand witness to your political demise, it was good to be in front of your soon-to-be-vacated premises in DC.

1//The Independent, UK
A former diplomat has revealed that the British mission to the United Nations opposed the policy of regime change in Iraq but was ordered by London to change its position in the lead-up to war. The disclosure was made to MPs yesterday by Carne Ross, a member of the mission who resigned in protest at the Iraq war. He told the Foreign Affairs Committee that the US government was repeatedly warned by British diplomats that Iraq would fall apart if Saddam Hussein was toppled. But from mid-2002 instructions were received to change that view to fall in with the Bush administration. Speaking in public for the first time since he left the diplomatic service two years ago, Mr Ross also confirmed suspicions that the Prime Minister made up his mind months before the Iraq invasion in March 2003 that the war was going to happen and British troops would take part. Mr Ross said when he was serving in the embassy in Afghanistan, as early as April 2002, British officials there knew troops were being held back in readiness for the Iraq invasion. He claimed that when official documents from the Foreign Office are made public, they will prove that the view of British officials, repeatedly conveyed to the Americans, was that overthrowing Saddam Hussein would cause chaos.

HERSHEY, PA – Brandon Segal is joined by Nate Schmidt and Dustin Gazley to celebrate goal in the third period against Bridgeport (Tim Stough / Sweetest Hockey on Earth)
It may not show in the standings just yet, but at the halfway point of the AHL season, the Hershey Bears have developed some valuable momentum. Saturday night at Giant Center, the Bears pulled out a 5-3 win over the Bridgeport Sound Tigers. The victory gave the Bears their fifth win in the last seven games.
It was a tough travel day on Friday for the bears, going to Syracuse, losing to the Crunch and turning right around and returning to Hershey. The Bears did not have their legs in the first period on Saturday, but used their fists effectively with fights involving Captain Dane Byers and Michael Latta. The Bears scored first on a tally by Ryan Stoa just over seven minutes into the first period. Bridgeport scored two and took the lead, but Hershey's persistence eventually gave them a 3-2 advantage.
Jeff Taffe punched the puck through traffic in front of the net and Brandon Segal added a goal to give Hershey the lead. But with 10 seconds left in the second period, Bridgeport's Mike Keenan took a shot that just got past Riley Gill to tie the game going to the third period.
It looked like the game was headed to overtime, but Segal got what turned out to be the game winner with just 2:57 left in the game. Segal's backhander gave Hershey the lead. Cameron Schilling added an empty net goal to make the final 5-3.
"I liked our third period," said Coach Mike Haviland. "(Bridgeport is) a skilled team. I liked the way we competed, especially down the stretch. We blocked some shots and won a big face off at the end. I thought the second half of the game we competed the right way."
For a second straight night, the Bears only had 22 shots on goal, but tonight they scored 5 goals to win and bounce back off the loss at Syracuse. "You have to get points at home," added Haviland. "We've really been good here. There are no nights off. You've got to get ready right away (for Albany)"
Brandon Segal had another multi-point night, scoring two goals for Hershey. Segal is in the top 20 scorers in the AHL and likes the way his team is playing. "It wasn't our best game, but we gutted one out. I like the way our team is going. We're coming together as a team. This is the time you need to come together. You don't want to get to April and you're points behind for a playoff spot. You need these points now. You need to get confidence and make sure things are clicking."
Saturday night's game marked the halfway point of the season for Hershey. The victory moves the Bears within a point of the eighth and final Eastern Conference playoff spot. "Let's hope we keep playing this way the second half of the season," said Haviland after the game. "The goals have not changed here. It's a sprint now for me. It's on and it's been on for us for the last month. They've responded a lot better. We're not where we want to be and we've got to keep pushing."
The Bears play their third game in three nights on Sunday with a 5 pm face off against the Albany Devils.

According to the IRS website, taxpayers will have until Monday, April 18, to file their 2010 tax returns and pay any tax due because Emancipation Day, a holiday observed in the District of Columbia, falls this year on Friday, April 15. By law, District of Columbia holidays impact tax deadlines in the same way that federal holidays do; therefore, all taxpayers will have three extra days to file this year.
CHURUBUSCO — The high school boys' golf season got underway within Whitley County lines for all three of its teams Tuesday.
Eel River Golf Course played host to Columbia City and Whitko with Churubusco on its home course squaring off in a tri-meet debut.

Julia Mabel Snodgrass, 98, of Columbia City, died at 11:05 a.m. Monday, April 11, 2011 at Miller's Merry Manor where she had been a resident since March 18.
She was born Feb. 11, 1913 in Columbia City, a daughter of Melvin and Alice (Lower) Schumaker. She graduated from Columbia City High School in 1930 and graduated from Indiana University in 1934.
She taught school at Beech Grove for six years. In 1954 she started teaching Latin and English at Columbia City High School, retiring in 1974 with 20 years of service.
Terry R. Miller, 53, a resident of Churubusco, passed away unexpectedly at 4:52 a.m. Thursday, April 7, 2011 at Lutheran Hospital in Fort Wayne.
FORT WAYNE — Columbia City boys' track has had to overcome its fair share of odds.
After inclement weather gave the Eagles a late start, Columbia City opened the season Tuesday without its top scorer from a season ago.
Despite it all, the Eagles hit the road to face some of the toughest competition in the Northeast Hoosier Conference.

This holistic Wellness Center
sits on a 160-hectare working wine estate in the Paarl/Franschhoek Valley in South Africa. The Bakwena Spa at Santé offers true
vinothérapie treatments like the Pinotage Vino-Bath Treatment or the Vichy/Hammam Ceremony, which includes a grape seed exfoliation and Merlot-infused foam massage. There is an optional additional "Mr. Nibble" treatment, in which small fish nibble away at the dead skin on your feet and hands. Don't worry though, the treatment is safe (for you and the fishes), and it will leave your skin feeling silky smooth.

Sorry for the hiatus, life is been hectic, been settling things with the family and work consumes most of my time. Not only my full time but also I am developing a fashion line (so stay tuned). Once I thought I wouldn't blog in a long time as I don't feel like sharing and blogging has its own mood but i miss it too much. I shot this after my meeting with Google Asia team, oh and yes that blue is similar to their logo if you notice hahah. Life is been pretty much mobile lately so comfortable and proper ensemble is essential to me, as well as mini carry all to accommodate all meeting needs.
T by Alexander Wang muscle tee via Shopbop, H&M blazer, Marc by Marc Jacobs Ipad pouch via Shopbop, Zara shoes, unbranded skirt
For me black tee or tank top is always been a great staple, and this T by Alexander Wang number is no exception. I love its relaxed fit and cool materials, great to be worn in any occasion - even to be paired with my work blazer. See similar piece here, or here. or get the classic slub top if you prefer here.
Loving this Dreamy logo neoprene iPad pouch from Marc by Marc Jacobs. I'm a big fan of black and white and it also applies to my accessories. It fits my iPad, note, stationery, just perfectly I can carry it to most of my outside meeting. If you want a more colourful one, you can pick this one here. I also feel like getting one for my Mac as seen here or this one with handle.

Spirea - Snowmound.
- Starting at: $34.95 - In stock
Questions? (888) 864-7663
A Mound of Snowy Flowers in Spring
Snowmound Spirea is a dwarf, ornamental shrub with lovely flowers. Plant one for a decorative shrub border or use as a foundation planting.
Your Snowmound Spirea's most impressive feature is its spectacular clusters of pure white flowers that begin in May. Gathered together in small corymbs, the tiny bouquets of blossoms will virtually cover the arching branches of your Snowmound.
It really lives up to its name, being so covered with flowers that it will appear as a "mound' of "snow" in your spring landscape. Unlike with snow however, Butterflies and other pollinators will come in for a peek and contribute to the celebration of life that spring always seems to usher in.
As spring moves into summer, the dense, blue-green foliage will provide a lush appearance for your Snowmound until it transitions to a coppery-yellow for autumn.
Snowmound Spirea will grow to 4 feet tall with a 7-foot spread. It's a compact shrub with graceful, spreading branches. There are no significant disease or insect issues to be concerned about and Snowmound tolerates a wide variety of soils.
Snowmound is a relatively carefree shrub that will grow naturally beautiful, but it doesn't mind some pruning if you'd prefer to customize its shape.
There are many ornamental shrubs, and Snowmound Spirea is certainly a stand-out among them. If you'd like a touch of snow's brilliance in spring, but without the cold weather, try a Snowmound Spirea.
* Prolific spring flowers
* Fall color
* Wildlife interest
* Dark green foliage

School Reviews
- June 01, 2012 - My child, now a 4th grader, has been at CCS since Kindergarten. He has an IEP, is excelling academically, and loving his school experience. As a whole, Collegium teachers are dedicated, nurturing and supportive. I sure hope this continues throughout middle school and beyond. As long as our child is happy there and doing well, we are planning on seeing him graduate from CCS! - Posted by Parent
- August 16, 2010 - Collegium Charter school offers an alternative for families living in the Coatesville School District. The curriculum is challenging and the teachers are committed to developing students to perform their best. Parents support the school, and teachers are held accountable to meet educational goals. As a former elementary educator, parent, and taxpayer, I am pleased that my child has this opportunity. - Posted by Parent
- September 29, 2009 - I don't understand the parent comment about spec. needs kids getting "pushed out." My child has an IEP and has been at Collegium for 9 years - they go above and beyond to be sure that his needs are met. Beyond this, the school is great! Strong MS/HS curriculum that is preparing my child for college - high expectations of all kids. - Posted by Parent
- May 11, 2009 - Collegium offers little support to special needs children and their families. They do everything possible to push special needs children out. Administration hides behind their "policies". Their actions are disgraceful, even to the point of discriminatory. - Posted by Parent
- February 07, 2008 - My experience so far is only with the elementary school, but I could not be happier. The teachers we have had are exceptional and the curriculum, including Spanish, art and music, is far above what I am seeing in the surrounding districts. Parent involvement is one of the keys to Collegium's success. All in all, they truly have found a winning formula! - Posted by Parent
- January 16, 2008 - K thru 6 - They have fantastic, dedicated teachers and the curriculum is right on the mark. When you reach Middle and High school, there is a marked differance! That is all I will say. - Posted by Parent
Reviews should be a few sentences in length. Please include any comments on:
-Quality of academic programs, teachers, and facilities
-Availability of music, art, sports and other extracurricular activities

To My Grand-Daughter: I Am Sorry We Ruined the World for You
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.

Today my three kids are, thankfully, healthy adults. But now that grandchildren are being added to our family, my blood runs cold whenever I project out 50 years and imagine what their world will be like at middle age -- assuming they get that far and that there is still a recognizable "world" to be part of. I wrote the following letter to my granddaughter, Madeline, who is almost four years old. Although she cannot read it today, I hope she will read it in a future that proves so much better than the one that is probable, and so terribly unfair. I'm sharing this letter with other parents and grandparents in the hope that it may move them to embrace their roles as citizens and commit to the hard work of making the planet viable, the economy equitable, and our culture democratic for the many Madelines to come.]
March 20, 2012
Dear Maddie,
I address this letter to you, but please share it with Jack, Tasiah, and other grandchildren who are yet unborn. Also, with your children and theirs. My unconditional love for my children and grandchildren convinces me that, if I could live long enough to embrace my great-grandchildren, I would love them as deeply as I love you.
On behalf of my generation of grandparents to all of you, I want to apologize.
I am sorry we used up all the oil. It took a million years for those layers of carbon goo to form under the Earth's crust and we used up most of it in a geological instant. No doubt there will be some left and perhaps you can get around the fact that what remains is already distant, dirty, and dangerous, but the low-hanging fruit will be long-gone by the time you are my age. We took it all.
There's no excuse, really. We are gas-hogs, plain and simple. We got hooked on faster-bigger-more and charged right over the carrying capacity of the planet. Oil made it possible.
Machines are our slaves and coal, oil, and gas are their food. They helped us grow so much of our own food that we could overpopulate the Earth. We could ship stuff and travel all over the globe, and still have enough fuel left to drive home alone in trucks in time to watch Monday Night Football.
Rocket fuel, fertilizer, baby bottles, lawn chairs: we made everything and anything out of oil and could never get enough of it. We could have conserved more for you to use in your lifetime. Instead, we demonstrated the self-restraint of crack addicts. It's been great having all that oil to play with and we built our entire world around that. Living without it will be tough. Sorry.

Gaddafi Turned, Made CIA Asset in Renditions
Charley Bravo - 9/5/11
Documents obtained from abandoned Libyan intelligence offices detail CIA and MI6 working with Gaddafi. During the Bush Administration, Gaddafi was essentially made a CIA asset; and subjects of CIA "rendition" (abduction) were delivered to Libyan interrogators, apparently with full knowledge that torture would ensue.
Among them was one Abdul Hakim Belhadj, an opponent of the Gaddafi regime, who now commands forces in rebel controlled Tripoli. CIA worked to have him extradited from Malaysia and then had him abducted before changing planes in Bankok:
Belhadj alleges that he was tortured during his rendition and during seven years in prison. He told the Guardian newspaper on Sunday that British agents were among the first to interrogate him in Tripoli.
"I wasn't allowed a bath for three years and I didn't see the sun for one year," Belhadj told the Guardian. "They hung me from the wall and kept me in an isolation cell. I was regularly tortured." That torture, Belhadj alleged, included being "put in a container surrounded by ice," sleep deprivation, and constant noise. >continue<
