I began my tech career in a factory in Evansville, IN as the sole "geek" living in a condemned (yes – it actually was condemned) apartment building with my wife who was finishing her nursing degree. How things have changed from that humble beginning.
When I look back on my career and where it has brought us, there is no way we can pay back the time and support I received from my mentors. Therefore, we have committed ourselves to find ways to take what we've been blessed with and to pay it forward.
So my wife and I will donate 100% of the royalties from my book, Beyond The Obvious, that is purchased before the end of the year to charity.
100% of All Author Royalties To Charity
So what do you need to do? Purchase the book (hardcover, digital or audio version) before the end of the year. That's it! Whatever author royalties I receive will go to charity. If you are interested in purchasing bulk copies of the book to give away (e.g. to your employees, customers, friends, etc) Amazon and Barnes & Noble are able to accommodate.
Stay updated on the project ….
If you want to direct which charity receives the money based on your purchase(s), then forward your receipt to the email address assigned to one of the charities we are sponsoring this year:
- Hacking Autism: firstname.lastname@example.com
- Ishimwe Rwanda Child Rescue Home: firstname.lastname@example.com
- The River: email@example.com
If you email your receipt, you will receive a reply that contains a link to a special "thank you" gift.
What Charities?
Hacking Autism
Autism is a full-blown global epidemic. It is the fastest-growing childhood developmental disease.
- More children will be diagnosed with autism this year than with AIDS, diabetes and cancer combined.
- 1 in 88 children are now diagnosed with this condition in the U.S.
It's time we hacked autism.
To that end, in May 2011, I announced the formation of a new organization — Hacking Autism. Hacking Autism is about leveraging the community to volunteer their time and talent to help create solutions (e.g. software applications) that gives people with autism a voice. It's a social initiative for advancing and making accessible the technology that can hack away at the challenges people with autism face daily. There are many excellent solutions that already exist and the site contains information on some. Yet there is much that still needs to be done.
Together, we can create solutions that impact peoples lives.
Hacking Autism operates as a program within Autism Speaks. If you want to support the effort, please make a donation at Autism Speaks and direct it to be used for the Hacking Autism program.
ishimwe (Rwanda)
Ishimwe means 'Give thanks to God' in Kinyarwanda, the language of Rwanda. This adventure was founded in 2003 by Roger & Faith Shaw. Faith's traumatic childhood prepared her for ministry of rescuing abandoned children. First and foremost, she herself was a refugee separated from her parents after fleeing Rwanda's first genocide.
In 1994, Faith and Roger watched Rwanda's second genocide unfold on the TV news. It was a horrifying event resulting in the murder of 800,000 people. The aftermath was heart breaking. Among many awful tragedies, thousands of children were left without anyone to care for them. This painful reality weighed heavily on the hearts of Faith & Roger and they recalled how someone had helped Faith when she had been a child in need. They couldn't quite reconcile their comfortable family life in California with the suffering of so many abandoned children in Rwanda.
Faith and Roger sold everything and moved to Rwanda to lead the child rescue efforts at Ishimwe.
The Ishimwe Center depends on donations from generous people with a heart for abandoned children.
The River Church
Lyons Colorado was devastated with the recent flooding. The town and its residents are still without basic services.
The River Church was also devastated but through the storm, this church has stepped up to help this community. While the major relief organizations have pulled out now that the national new cycle of the flooding has passed, The River is stepping in to help this community recover.
So why is this different from other relief efforts? Every dollar (100%) of money raised will be spent for disaster relief for Lyons. Many other relief funds have heavy administrative costs. This is an opportunity for people to know exactly where their money will be spent.
In addition to the supporting the Pay-It-Forward Project, please donate directly to Lyons Flood Relief.
* This is a trial project and the rules, list of charities and continuation can change in the future.

overlord, the Ottoman Empire. In each instance the revolutionaries used liberal rhetoric very familiar to Americans, and, along with many others, Henry Clay, a potential national political rival of Adams, had publicly manifested an interest in providing tangible support to the rebels. The South Americans and the Greeks (the originators, after all, of democracy) were, it seemed, in a life and death struggle to gain their deserved independence from imperial oppressors. Adams wished them well and said we could not and should not do a thing about it. 2
Now, fast forward to our own time, and consider the heart‐ wrenching scenes that can be summoned up in an instant in unfortunate places like Somalia, Bosnia, or wherever CNN mini-cameras can penetrate. 3 It is not surprising that many Americans at any given moment experience two simultaneous if converse sentiments: to stay clear of foreign troubles while at the same time longing to intervene in order to bring relief. The long history of American resistance to becoming involved in European squabbles while nonetheless sending forth to the world reform-minded missionaries (and later eager Peace Corps volunteers) gives evidence of this admirable incongruity. Only with the crisis of World War II did the world, under the guidance of Franklin Roosevelt, institute the Wilson-inspired United Nations, which even now, half a century into its history, remains for Americans problematic. Thus, the scholarly debate about "realists" and "idealists," explicated below, actually derives from discordant sentiments in the very texture of the American historical experience. We must say more later about this polarity, and particularly its connection with the accordion-like attitude Americans have for half a century evinced toward the United Nations.
But, first, we need note that there are those who have never shared the recurrent euphoria about the United Nations. Many of the influential____________________

A large number of home buyers in Noida Extension, who had booked their flats before the controversy surrounding the sale of land in the area erupted, are now slugging it out with developers to save their flats at a time when they should have been preparing for their house warming ceremonies.
A majority, who were to get their flats by December 2012, are now knocking at every door in a desperate bid to ensure that developers do not cancel their allotments. The developers are trying every trick with the original set of buyers to ensure that their allotment can somehow be cancelled. They have gone to the extent of hinting rude behaviour could invite cancellations, said Sweta Bharti a member of Noida Extension Flat Owners Welfare Association (NEFOWA), which is fighting the battle on behalf of the flat owners. Another member of NEFOWA adds that a large number of complaints have been received against five companies Paramount, Palm Olympics, Supertech, Devika Builders and Earth Infrastructure.
Many companies have cancelled allotments of various buyers who are from smaller cities. Their voices are not registered, as a large number of them are not a part of our association directly, said Indrish Gupta, another member.
Modus operandi
Buyers allege that developers are using all available options to ensure that the original set of buyers are divested of their flats, which can then be resold at a higher rate. In a majority of the cases, the consumers are faced with a Hobsons choice. With a number of these developers having defaulted on the payment to be made to the Greater Noida Authority, banks are not disbursing loans to buyers of these projects. This has resulted in buyers falling back on payments, a pretext used by builders to threaten cancellation of allotments.
Information sought under RTI shows that Earth Infrastructure, Devika Builders and Palm Olympia have defaulted on payments to the authority. Every bank comes to the authority for no-objection certificate before disbursing loans. Now, if the builder has defaulted on payments to the authority, the banks will not disburse loans, said a senior official of the Greater Noida Authority.
One buyer, who booked a flat in Supertech Eco Village 2 a part of which is on the land that has not been approved for construction by the court order has been asked to pay his next instalment.
The buyer is unable to pay up, because

Duvenhage went over on his ankle against the Brumbies in Canberra a few weeks ago. The injury forced him to return home from the overseas tour a week early, thus meaning that he missed the 40-3 win over the Rebels in Melbourne. However he played from the bench in last week's defeat to the Vodacom Bulls at Newlands, taking up flyhalf in place of Kurt Coleman in the second half.
Although Duvenhage has been named in the team for the match against the Cheetahs, he was only able to watch as his team trained before a downpour forced them from the field at the High Performance Centre on Wednesday. Coach Allister Coetzee said that him missing training was only a precautionary measure, but it has been learned that his participation in the match is in severe doubt.
Should he miss out, yet another of last year's all-conquering Western Province under-21 stars will be making his first start for the Stormers. Louis Schreuder flew to Australia to be part of the match squad for the Rebels game, but should he find himself wearing the No 9, this will be his first start at this level.
Schreuder was named on the Stormers bench on Wednesday as it is understood that Ricky Januarie, who was poor against the Bulls last week, has broken his hand. It may well be that the Stormers management have also decided to move on from Januarie, who is taking up a contract with a French club at the conclusion of the Super Rugby season.
Schreuder is highly enough rated by the Stormers management and talent scouts that they opted to back him as the future rather than Conrad Hoffmann, who moved to the Sharks. So it is not as though he is a player who lacks ability. Nic Groom will be the man who comes onto the Stormers bench should Duvenhage be ruled out.
"Dewaldt was a bit stiff on Wednesday. But I am positive that he could make it for Saturday. He is just tight around the quad muscle and because of the treatment he has received I am just being cautious as he could aggravate his condition if he runs in the wet," said Coetzee.
The Stormers have the carrot of having a bye week in which all the struggling players can recover before a home semi-final if they win against the Cheetahs on Saturday. Apart from scrumhalf, the team looks on paper to be the strongest selected so far this season, with the Stormers opting to include all three Springbok centres, with Jean de Villiers playing on the wing and Gio Aplon moving to fullback.

|With Janet (pictured left) and the other ladies from the Guild
As a fourth generation member of a family-owned business, I've always been fascinated with the "living legends" of the yarn industry since, like me, many of them have been involved in the business for 30 or 40 years.
At the Knit and Crochet show last month, I had the pleasure of meeting Janet Johnson Stephens, who won the Honorary Lifetime Member award from the Knitting Guild of America.
The very talented Janet Johnson Stephens is a particularly influential person. Not only is she a dedicated crafter, but she is an accomplished teacher and designer.

Dear Friends,
I am honored to represent the people in Colorado State House District 63.
I will continue to actively push for lowering taxes and cutting government regulation just as I did for you last session– I passed four bills unanimously through the House to lower taxes and cut red tape. Cutting red tape means your family or your business can keep more of their own money and our economy is stronger. I will continue protecting the sanctity of life, continue fighting for a right to work law, and protecting our Second Amendment rights.
In in 2016 and 2015 I earned an A+ grade from Principles of Liberty and the honor of twice being named House Champion from the Colorado Union of Taxpayers –which means I work for you, not special interests.
In a time when Colorado families are tightening their belts more than ever, there's no excuse for our government not to do the same.
As your State Representative, I fulfilled all of my campaign promises and I will continue to fight against bureaucratic red tape and government meddling in our daily lives that we have come all too accustomed to.
Please visit my events page for upcoming events and the news page for updates.
My door is always open so please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Lori Saine
Ephesians 6:10-20

Engagement is a vital process in addressing concerns of different stakeholders while ensuring ownership of long-term national REDD+ process. Against this backdrop, the UN-REDD National Programme in Sri Lanka, in collaboration with Department of Forest as lead implementing partner, organized two separate workshops to establish an Indigenous Peoples' Forum and a Civil Society Organizations (CSO) Platform on 29 November and 10 December 2013, respectively. The Indigenous Peoples' Forum and CSO Platform are intended to ensure effective and meaningful participation of indigenous peoples, civil society, non-governmental and community-based organizations in the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the Programme at this initial stage and to carry this participation forward into a broader, nationally-owned REDD+ Programme. Indigenous peoples and CSO representatives to the UN-REDD Programme Executive Board (PEB) were also self-selected during these workshops.
The Indigenous Peoples' Forum held in Mahiyangana, included participation from Veddah communities, representatives from the Range Forest Offices of the Department of Forest and the Department of Wildlife Conservation, Divisional Secretaries, Ministry of Cultural Affairs, the Mahaweli Authority of Sri Lanka as well as non-governmental organizations and environmental activists. The Veddah communities represented Dambana, Hennanigala, Dalukana, Vaharei, Rathugala and Pollebedda settlements. Items discussed included how to best contribute to conserving and protecting forest and wildlife resources for future generations. Uruwarige Vannila Attho, the Veddah Chief in Sri Lanka as well as elected member of the PEB stated that "It is heartening to see that officials and policymakers at the highest level have taken a keen interest in consulting us to identify ways and means for sustainable management of forests, wildlife and other relevant resources."
Mr. Anura Sathurusinghe, Conservator General of Forest and the National Programme Director of the UN-REDD National Programme pointed out that the Department of Forest has already initiated a wider consultation process in identifying policy areas and issues requiring changes, saying, "Now we are in the process of smoothening some of the rules and regulations so there will be more flexibility, especially in protecting and safeguarding rights of indigenous peoples, and involving them in sustainable management of forests."
Establishment of the CSO Platform was a result of progressive deliberations between civil society members. Led by a voluntary Working Committee of six members from various civil society backgrounds, it facilitated the formation of a CSO Platform and the selection of CSO representative to the PEB. It also drafted Terms of Reference, and coordinated a workshop to establish the CSO Platform. Cognizant of the vibrant civil society community and to ensure gender balance, the Working Committee proposed two CSO representatives to the PEB. Workshop participants from environment, social justice and governance areas deliberated on the Terms of Reference before selecting a seven-member CSO Platform Convening Committee. This committee further self-selected two representatives to sit in the PEB: Mr. Hemantha Withanage from the Centre for Environmental Justice and Ms. M Renuka Badrakanthi from the Women Development Federation.

Pacific Brands great strategy of cutting costs and making their products as cheaply as possible is working great for them! I love my new hush puppy shoes full of PVC.
"First home buyer loans at record low"
Housing boom!
Yeah. But overshadowed by way overvalued equity markets, low volatility, debt saturation, distorted bond and commodity markets, and.....to cap it all off.....now the bloody printer's not working properly.
How does the weather affect the Reject Shop? Last time I looked they didn't sell weather related products like clothes.
I stopped shopping there after my wife told me that having their wares around our house was attracting poverty. Now I just save plastic bottles instead of recycling them and leave them around the house. It has the same interior design feel of Reject Shop products.
Close MYR short for 19%. Negative NTA and going nowhere.
Uh oh... who went long today!? BULL TRAP!
What's the point. Another ridiculous day.
The story on Mayne Pharma & generic medicine. I took some scripts to the chemist for some elderly relatives. Out of 7 items, both brand name & generic, not one was made locally. India, NZ & Philippines. Let's hope our trade routes never get disrupted o/wise we will run out of medicines. Those scripts will be $35 more expensive under the Budget because the relatives don't have Seniors Health Care card. They feel betrayed by Abbott & co.
Versace vanishes into thin air:
"Crown Casino's high-rollers are finding it harder to splurge on luxury watches and handbags after marquee brand Versace has shuttered the doors of its only Melbourne boutique."
They're finding it harder to splurge because...Crown's got their money! And that's why Versace is gone...not the other way around. You cannot 'beat' the house. GG.
Bling gloom!
See: http://www.smh.com.au/business/retail/versace-packs-its-bags-and-leaves-melbourne-after-falling-behind-on-the-rent-20140610-39uio.html#ixzz34D0VQLi8
Potash will replace coal as BHP's 'fourth pillar'
not this century!
Another good day for short term traders, in and out with money in the bank, can't beat that uncle frank!
Blah cant get any allocation in the upcoming Monashivf IPO as not moving in the right circle....when is an IPO not an IPO...when its a closed shop, so change the definition...to broker only or BoPO,drat.
And then you have that horrible feeling that buying into the bidding frenzy on the first day of trade only adds to the wealth of those who got privileged access. No thanks. Likely to end up with stock that I paid way too much for, along with everyone else. I'll continue to hunt for the real bargains instead.
It is despicable when IPO are closed shops, why do they call it a public offering, when the public is not being offered anything. It is a stain on free markets...regulators need to open this up.
Asaleo is a peculiar case, they are offering shares through a "Priority Public Offer', only offered to nominated individuals in the public made by the company, what the heck?
This "Housing Boom!" situation is going to worsen in the next decade. Get used to it. Governments now, worldwide, have become totally dependent on rising house prices and all the taxes associated with property. Real estate itself has now become a world-wide game, with international payment easy.
always has been always will so no change really.
Pacific Brands writing off 'decline in consumer sentiment'.
Couldn't happen to a better company.
Suppose all that off-shoring of production to lower costs but not prices, was a worthwhile venture then.
I bought a new Samsung S4 Zoom about a year ago on eBay from a seller in Hong Kong. It wasn't half the price of Australian retailers because Australian retailers hadn't even released it/stocked it yet. They started stocking it months later and selling it for double the price lol
So there was a fault with the phone where dust settled behind the glass in front of the zoom lense about a year after I got it. I googled it and found it was a fault with that product. So I contacted the seller to make a warranty claim. They organised the phone to be picked up and returned to Hong Kong with TNT on 2 June. Today (10 June) it was returned by TNT from Hong Kong fixed perfectly (The Zoom replaced).
Morals of the story:
1. Australia is a notorious rip off market in global trade that has been exposed by the rapid growth in online trade. Retailers here are so far off global bench marks in range of products, price, and service it's a bad joke.
2. The notion that you should pay extra because you get some fantastically superior level of customer service from Australian retailers is a laughable myth that only the truly thickest people believe.
3. Australian shopping malls are now just places to grab a Grill'd burger and a Lick Pier for lunch and to grab some decent clothes, bedding and crystal glasses in the increasingly frequent Myer and DJ 50% off the already 40% marked down price of goods sales.
"Sharp drop in job ads as consumer confidence struggles"
Housing boom!
Meanwhile back at the stock market the ASX200 continues on its merry way....up!
Can't wait for some positive news, then it's ll the way to 6000.
just wait for the first down day in the US, there'll be a humungous sell off here.
Cap - Not so sure about that. 6000 is more unlikely by years end.
Central Banks around the world cannot see any signs of inflation, while asset prices are sky rocketing?
I wonder what asset classes the world connected are invested in?
It just shows you the absolute folly of central bankers. Housing prices rise causing available spending money for ordinary folks to go down, i.e. no consumer price inflation. Central banks worried about low inflation and decide to print more money out of thin air putting it on the balance sheets of governments. This leads to bigger asset bubbles, lower spending for families to keep up, and so it goes on until the national economy blows up under its debt.
The US Federal Reserve and the ECB is the current biggest geopolitical threat to the Western world.
They are all investing in Sydney property.
"Costs in the oil and gas sector are still on the rise and outpacing inflation, and gas projects are extremely price-sensitive because the margins are so thin,"
Oh dear.
extract from WPL balance sheet ...yea thin yea right...not
Net Profit ($ million) 1,083.6 1,107.4 1,427.0 1,030.2 1,786.0 1,824.0 1,549.7 1,483.9 2,872.7 1,954.6
Good point @BSB, WPL $42.40 and heading north, $45 on the way to $50. Great company!
Short at 42.05, looks toppy to me.
"BHP is sweating its assets hard and trimming all possible fat across its operations in part to better protect the company from volatility in the iron ore price but also to make up for past management mistakes."

"Thousands of near-new homes are cracking up in Melbourne's western and northern suburbs, leaving their owners facing financial ruin and long battles to fix them."
Housing boom!
Slap up homes in nothing areas. This will continue and grow as a major problem whilst we expand housing in to areas not fit for such foundations.
One of those days huh? Finally have a decent start only to drift downwards all day.
It is only 10 points down from the day's high and holding very well compared to Tues, Wed & Thur last week.
I am tipping we will finish at least 5495 today mainly because the big index players are responsible for the rise pre open and news is neutral to slightly positive
Cyril. Thanks for the TIP.
Any other tips Cyril :o) ?
"NSW households are to be hit with an average 17.8 per cent hike in gas prices from next month after a final decision from the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal." Markets live 10/6/14
Rising utility bills. Inflation is here. Hyperinflation next. GG.
Housing boom!
Jobs doom!
Inflation boom!
Hyper inflation is stage 2 of the GFC when asset owners have to work out a way of paying back their acquisitions made at excessive cost!
Not just households but any company that uses substantial amounts of gas, eg brickworks, cement, food processing, heating in offices & hospitals, electricity generation. Of course they will pass on the extra cost to their customers so the cost of living will get hit with a double whammy. What little you stand to save from the abolition of the carbon tax you will pay in higher gas prices. I am hoping that Shell is right and the gas projects fail. Corporate greed at the expense of the rest of us and the environment in extracting CSG.
If LNG projects are going under due to falling prices in the market. Why do we continue to see massive rises in the retail market? Do we use a different type of gas?
What's up with the job ad numbers? Can't we find some more growth in jobs like banking, finance broking, real estate, conveyancing, and accounting?
Do we really have to start producing jobs that actually produce something of real economic value first before we worry about avoiding tax with elaborate loss making investments?
Like carpenters who can actually use timber??? These so called 'real' jobs have died a slow and steady death because there has been no value adding in the Australian economy for 20+ years. Instead everyone is working out everybody else's problems via computers or off shoring anything that does not involve quick computer management...
We need more jobs like the 150k a year trucker driver that frequent these forums.
Companies boost profit by culling jobs and cutting costs rather than through real organic growth. There is no mention of new value add jobs being created in Australia. However on the contrary, we see jobs being culled on a weekly basis in one sector or another in Australia. The senior corporate executives and CEO's must be loving this as long as they keep getting their bonuses and could'nt care less if if the younger generations flipped burgers for a living.
@11.55 comment
Now I know why STX is stronger today, upside in gas prices to NSW market.
If production testing goes well this month and next upside in share price will be huge.
Sitting on a massive gas reservoir in thick coals under Moomba gas pipeline!
Just got to get gas out of coals and to market!
WPL still going strong despite recent reports that the big end of town was going to short it!
Watched a documentary on "Extrapolation" and all columnists, Mathematician, Physicist, Archaeologist, all agreed that when we extrapolate analysis we always input our own bias. I thought a brave thing to say for these people who earn a living extrapolating data.
Of course I agree with their conclusion that all projections, particularly stock market ones, are inherently biased by our own beliefs.
Including this one!
Where as you're average economist / analysis only ever predict with 100% certainty (and then update that prediction each day/month/year as needed to ensure the prediction remain 100% accurate)
According to ASX website, the market cap on Oct 2007 with index at 6754 was 1,582,092m.
As at Apr 2014 index was 5489 with market cap 1,565,911.
We probably went close to all time highs when the index got to 5530.
I think you will find a dollar in 2014 is worth less than a dollar in 2007
Really economist? So if you bought something for AUD$6.9 million in 2006 and sold it for AUD$6.6 million in 2014 that's not "about the same" is it? That's actually a truly sickening loss isn't it?
"Gold Coast-based farmer Alan Frost has paid $6.6 million for an up-market beachfront home on Hedges Ave, in the biggest deal on millionaires' row in two-and-a-half years.
The double block, at 103-105 Hedges Ave, was owned by Mark Howard who purchased the property for $6.9 million in 2006."
@Edith, i think if you take the time to read my comment properly I think you will find that is exactly the point I was making!
@economist, yes I know. Many of my comments are facetious in tone with the intent of trying a new approach to achieve something traditional methods have failed; educating lesser lights.
As Carl Icahn states on his Twitter bio: "Some people get rich studying artificial intelligence. Me, I make money studying natural stupidity."
I needs to be said that the story the Herald has just published on the Apple share split contains one of the most inane, click-bait journalism headlines I've ever read.
Time for retailers to wave the white flag, looking forward to some bargains soon. Aussies have been paying way to much for way to long. There will be no need to go to Hong Kong for a shopping trip when the sales start.
Time to short CBA
Charlie said banks were too expensive a few weeks ago, but changed his mind when the prices went higher.
In a world where cash earns negative interest, a government protected company that generates 5% dividends (ignoring franking) is going to be a popular global investment. You'd have to be brave to short CBA.
You would also be brave to buy it here. Short term sell.
when the house price is down or Chinese stop buying Oz houses, then all banks will go down a lot.
anyway, if anyone buy CBA at 82.50, they are insane. i think it is short term sell as well, i am sure you can get it cheaper, say below 80, in next two weeks.
Your point is taken and is hard to disagree however sometimes sentiment moves prices higher or lower and at this point of time I believe lower.
Reject Shop blaming warm weather for its declining sales .....Spare me some slack, folks ...... why not just be honest about it. The simple fact is that people are just not spending as they used to in the past. In fact, the trends emerging from the Reject shop profits might be a harbinger of the declining trends for the retail sector in the near future, but then the markets hardly care about such ground realities
TRS - The Real Situation
TRS is a shop for the Aussie battler, there aren't any coins left in the piggy bank!
@Bill, alternate view, times are not as tough as TRS expected so people havent moved that far down the bargain bin
I think you nailed it @Wwwish Lion
Australia Post sacks 600 staff to save $60M a year. Then its disclosed the CEO is paid $4.8M. Is it just going to be the CEO's left that will actually have any money to buy anything in the over priced country?
AWE has just about run out of gas and now the shorters have started, be careful!
I think I read this AM that AWE has been downgraded to a HOLD by Intelligent Investor.
@1103am comment
ready.........property boom!
When Matthias Bichselhere says only a small number of the big LNG projects will get built he must be talking about the short term.
Gas is THE fuel of this century and demand is set to soar with the shift from fuel oil to LNG in the shipping industry alone. The sooner senseless subsidies for other energy sources are dropped the better off we'll all be.
Cant see how ASX will get to 6000 -
Mining & Materials down
Banks & Telco's over valued
Retail struggling...
And this makes up > 70% !!
It is possible. Only one scenario where this happens and that is if the O/S markets are pushed to hysterical highs, and the QE money STILL requires a home to go... well our market will no doubt benefit from this option. O/S markets cannot go up proportionally for the continued QE investment... at some point other markets will look more attractive (ours being one). 6000 though is a hard call
QE still pumping $US35billion a month into the financial systems worldwide, and interest rates are still at record low levels. It is possible for this bull run to continue for months to come as QE comes to an end late 2014 and I.Rates are expected to hike in 2015, so Ceterus Paribus, situations will change dramatically from there, and I'm expecting a major correction anytime now with the probability of that happening heightening going forward. GG.
Jobs boom!
6000, or thereabout, could be on. I can't see interest rates rising anytime soon, the data published at 11:30 is definitely on the gloomy side. If anything there'll be a rate cut, making shares a little more attractive.
CBA - Doing much of the heavy lifting this morning. Brand new high of $82.56! Nice.
The CEO organised a meeting on the weekend with the entire staff and they all decided to work a little harder, therefore the share price has one up.
Applied for 1 of those NAB 0% for 12month credit cards saturday,got a call from +91 country code saying is that all the limit you need [6k] you're approved today.......tempting.
Nothing is free in life. You can bet your boots they aim these incentive cards to people who have historically shown they can never pay a card down. 12 months of holding for years of repayments at high rates. Good idea to suck in a few more peasants with poor money skills! Just my thoughts.
I have a firm belief in always using someone else's money for free while keeping my own cash in the bank earning interest or invested earning a good dividend. Just keep an eye on payment due dates. Failure to make a full payment when due can generate a whole world of woe.
If you have debt on other cards that you can balance transfer (and close the old card), sure why not, if you are thinking of racking up 6k debt and thinking you will pay it off before you get charged interest, I wouldn't. You know what they say about best intentions
NEA moving seamlessly in the right direction now after integration into Google Earth...pinpointing tax havens will be an added feature.....but GOOG seem to be able to find those wiithout falter.
OBJ is another small stock that has had a good run recently, worth looking into. I made some money on this baby back a couple of years ago.
I regret that i only bought a small. I am a bit worried about that P/E
It's that time again. The dogs are getting a lift. Time to sell.
We were told last week was going to be very important for key data to come out. Good European news and the US Non Farm Payroll numbers good and our little ASX after all that started last week at 5530 and is now after all that good news at 5494. Someone is having a lend !
BEN - almost a new 52 week high this morning at 12.07. 52 week high is 12.09.
$12.10 new 52 week high at 1.42pm. Very good! Much money to be made if it betters its all time high or around $17!
this forum is full of the biggest bears out there...
I wonder what looming disasters people will be spruiking today ?
Does Tony Abbott being let back in to the country after his trip o/seas count.
Bears or Realists?
Nothing wrong with being optimistic on an individual stocks prospects based on good product, good management and cheap price, but being bullish because share prices in US and Europe are rising due to stimulus programs is naïve imo.
I agree some comments are overly bearish, but share prices are overly bullish and have very big downside risk in the event of any shocks even minor ones.
Their foil hats need chin straps to stop them slipping off.
No need. It's pretty much mainstream now. Way after it being impossible to deny. Everyone's an expert AFTER the fact.
Not just this forum mate! Australia as a whole!
ASX 5025 April 15th 2010.
ASX 5481 June 10th 2014.
And you wonder why.
April 15th date used as the second time Global Equities started to fall after GFC Ist one was 15th Oct 2009..
Market has lost 90% of it's gain after all the good news and you wonder why.
I've been convinced for what seems like an eternity that international markets must come down soon, they can't keep defying gravity in this environment... but maybe with all the QE funny money pumping into the system, maybe defying gravity is now possible?
confirmation bias there? or forum comments having there affect...its all going along fairly well contrary to those who see everything in a negative tense...broken records playing broken predictions.
thanks for that wisdom fred, don't let facts get in the way of feelings as i always say, this is a sound way to approach investing. QE is funny money. and the little worm that wiggles its way up the table graph each day is in fact defying gravity. awesome. so if we pumped the funny money inside a vaccum it should then be impervious to this enemy of the stock worm, gravity.
@BSB. There's nothing positive about having spent yesterday's, today's and tomorrow's money and then desperately having to convince Canadians to buy more of our junk. Don't be the last one to work out what's going on.
With any mid year correction in bankstock prices a non event and the added O/S buying pressure from latest ECB policy. Does that make it a 50/50 buy in now for FOMO or are there some other forces at work to see some SP downside before june 30th.Historically the big 4 have sailed away for the rest of the year after that date. Looking for an in its getting harder as trends keep changing and geopolitical forces brush aside any past data correlation to entry.
I reckon June will end with a bang once Bank stocks go ex !!
Aren't prices getting ahead of earnings and so yield. That makes for expensive and risky dividends. No thanks. This surge in prices is being built on stimulus o/seas while our economy is set for contraction. You are already seeing that in the steady stream of profit warnings.
Big4 are the protected species and will profit / benefit until a real RECESSION hits. Bandage policy making and poor lending criteria and speculative investments will always have an end game...
@clueless banks gone ex in may......if ya look.
Intelligent thinking. Although most stocks seem to be priced too high are we kidding ourselves that we havent entered a new paradigm because of QE and the dister that is Europe.
Australia looks a very safe haven on any measure and its easy to suggest that any dividend is a good dividend compare to negative interest rates.
I sold TLS just because I believed the sentiment turned in the weeks leading up to June for no logical reason but will be very happy to buy back in on the dips.
Still have BDR ...no concern.
Good luck
Glad I never got suckered into the Newstat (NWT) "satellite story". Have been watching it though, and down 20% today :O
I'm bought more at $0.28 hahahaha. Greedy when others are fearful or maybe I'm just losing it. The Optus 10 satellite which delayed the launch, delayed a previous launch which was eventually successful with another co passenger satellite instead of Optus 10. I am not stressed until a rocket blows up.
Whatever makes you happy but these sort of stocks always struggle up until a they get what they are set to achieve. The success or failure of NWT depends only on 1 factor - launch of Jabiru so until then its all noise.
Time will tell if yesterday was a good time to sell or today a great opportunity to buy :)
Sold half of mine @ 45.5 for a really nice profit so looking at buying on the big dip in a day or so. Let's just hope that satellite soars instead of dipping.
Should be two lots of GAINS for us today ????????
As expected ASX continues on its Merry way backwards.. Up 30 points only lose most of them as usual. No wonder we've gone nowhere for 5 years. 2 days of supposed growth down the toilet.
House prices have crashed in Sydney!
Bought a house on the weekend 30% below what they wanted for it. No competition out there, only one at the auction also, wow the market is in a real state of fear atm.
Also just in election promises do come true!
I like good humor first day back at work.
Don't they pass houses in if its 30% below? I guess the long weekend and the weather kept people away?
mate if you think property prices in Sydney have crashed you need ya flippin' head read. come to the auctions I have been attending and you will soon realise the only opportunity for fair value lie outside Sydney all together.
some poeople cant see the sarcasm through the cynicism
Did you go to an auction in Dreamworld - Sydney ?? Good joke mate ;)
Surely the market will drop by 60%? I'm waiting until ANOTHER 30% goes and then I'll buy that that house from you cant :o)
Well that joke was posted out of fustration. I decided not to enter Sydney property market as far back as 2003, people were always of the opinion that prices are to high and now is not the right time to buy, all these people buying are in for a nasty fright, here we are post GFC 2008 and I'm still waiting! For these bears that profess that prices and yields.. blah blah blah.. haven't kept up with inflation, I don't care anymore! Smart advice to any "young" people, get in when you can "afford" it. yes it may go down, side ways ect... but eventually you will be better off than renting, another argument, rents have been falling, what a self serving argument! if i had of bought in 2004 my mortgage would be less than the rent im payingn now living 3 surburbs away. bears? what are they good for? really? investors continue to get rich not listening to the BS, but late comers to the party like myself have to navigate through all the BS! so im waiting for this next correction hopefully it will be enough for me to squeeze into the market.
And if you were renting you'd have $300K cash in the bank.
lol @ the Reject Shop blaming "warm weather" for a profit downgrade.
600 jobs to go in the Post.
170 to go from BHP's Whaleback.
500,000 need emergency assistance. [Anglicare].
"Get a job" [Kevin Andrews]
Housing doom!
There's going to be plenty of work at global rates. $5 an hour. We all knew this was where it was going right?
AP has the most expensive CEO and excutives then any postal service in the world including US.
The only way they know is to sack people which they have been doing it from last three years
and cut services. They have no problem in lining their pockets with millions.
If they could cut their perks and salaries and sack their mates working as contractors then they will
not have to cut services and sack people.
The sooner AP is privitised the better...A strong buy in my opinion
Let us have 457 visas for CEO's,,Excutives and Pollies .
Bull's Ride the High. There is no doubt American Bull's are on something that makes them High. I had a burger on the weekend with a beef patty... was not very high if you ask me!!!

MUMBAI: Tata Group chairman emeritus Ratan Tata has expressed gratitude to the British government for awarding him one of its highest civilian honours, the Knight Grand Cross, in recognition for the work his group is doing in the island nation.
"I am deeply touched and feel greatly honoured to receive the recognition so graciously bestowed on me by Her Majesty. It has been a privilege to endeavor to have our enterprises contribute positively to the growth and standing of the United Kingdom," Ratan Tata said in a press statement. Tata is the only Indian among five foreigners honoured as part of the 'Honorary British Awards to Foreign Nationals' for 2014. The Knight Grand Cross is awarded mainly to civilians and service personnel for public service or other distinctions, and has a military and a civil division.

We've often heard that hitting higher fuel economy targets (like, say, the 54.5 miles per gallon CAFE requirement for 2025 in the US) will need not a silver bullet but something more like silver buckshot. In other words, the industry is going to try lots of different ways to make cars burn less fuel as they drive down the road.

Asses For Days
This site is closed.
This site is closed.
Ass For Days is a hardcore website that brings you lots of fucking and enough hot asses to last you for, well, days. Actually, now that it's a portal to Diabolic, you'll have enough porn for years, if you're open to smut that focuses on more than just glorious butts.
All the material that was featured on AssForDays can still be found on Diabolic. You just need to type that sitename into the search box and you'll find eight DVDs with around 52 booty scenes. Checking for DVDs tagged "ass" under the genre toolbar will bring you even more flicks and counting the entire collection means you'll end up with over 3,390 videos.
These flicks can be downloaded in stellar-quality QuickTime and Windows Media format, as well as portable versions for your PSP or iPhone. You can also stream them in Flash. It's nice that the vids look so spectacular because it would be a shame if you had to watch such sexy scenes in lower quality. Some of the best butts in porn appear and are just as easy to appreciate in lesbian scenes as they are in anal adventures.
In one movie, we find a hottie proudly displaying her naked butt and playing with it for a bit. Then a guy steps into the frame and announces his arrival by sliding his cock into the babe's mouth. Soon, another stud shows up and he immediately starts to fuck the chick from behind. From that point on, we get plenty of screwing, tons of anal and even some double penetration.
You'll also find a pictures section with 397 photo galleries that you can save in Zip files. The shots are high-res and there's always one good view of a plump and juicy ass. A large network of solo pornstar sites brings you even more smut, but they rarely have the same high quality you'll find here.
With its mega-sized collection, Asses For Days is great if you're not just into butts. The updates are daily, too, so you're guaranteed a constant flow of fresh porn.

>> YESTERDAY in indieWIRE DAILY NEWS: "Safety" Deal; and New This Week

an '80s period-sci-fi-coming-of-ager, a love story between an
older man and a woman who may be from another planet, a documentary
about homosexuality in the Orthodox Jewish community -- who said
independent film was dead? This week's indie releases offer hope
for anyone who had doubts about formula and commercialism
swallowing up our cinema's screens.

Get UK Property Law Questions Answered by Experts
Thanks for your Question.
I assume that the below link is in fact a link to their website:-
It's not clear if they are a company or a partnership or what.
They would in effect be acting as agents and they should send you documentation first for you to examine and make an informed decision as to whether to proceed, along with verifying their credentials. It is highly irregular to ask for money first and there are a number of scams in this area who use this practice. I would treat with extreme caution, ask for documents and certainly do not transfer any money or pass account details without examining any literature they provide you with.
If they have cold-called you I would be very suspicious.
I would state that you shall not part with any money without full pre-contractual documentation, supporting literature, draft contractual documents and evidence of the status of the "company" (where it is registered, register of directors etc) before you will even consider their offer. I doubt you will hear from them. It's almost insulting that they would even ask for money without the above to be frank.
If this has been useful please kindly click accept so that I may be rewarded for my time. It will be gratefully received and you will be free to ask follow up questions.Kind regards,Tom

we met up with some new friends yesterday in springfield. after a moderately painless experience at the car dealer mechanic we shopped at a local natural food store and went to a great park. this park has all the things that a good park needs. a giant super fast slide (the arm buster), a see saw (the excluder--only two at a time), an old slide climbing structure (dubbed the post office), several modern combination play structures, and the most important thing a large influx of children (most of the time there was more than twenty kids with parents).
tristan and kassi played the play of the just. they loved it with a passion that can only come from a child. our new friends were great, displaying the comfortable alternative lifestyle of lore. have we found like minded people in the middle of missouri? YES. the kids played together so well. tristan didn't want to leave them--gnashing of teeth upon departure. we loved it and plan to do it again soon!
maybe they can come visit our little farmstead.

the play of the just

You know, Missouri does have a reputation for being a bit backward politically and socially, but I have consistently found that Missourians are, at the bottom of it all, respectful of those who are different. They may not approve of a given lifestyle or value system, but they seem to acknowledge that folks can live as they choose. I'm glad you've found some like-minded folks (as well as an excellent playground).

Three years ago, Florida panhandle-raised Lucy Alibar was a struggling playwright working multiple jobs in New York City when she penned "Juicy and Delicious," a highly personal Georgia-set tale inspired by her dealings with her father's ailing health. Soon after, the play became the basis for Benh Zeitlin's film "Beasts of the Southern Wild," which was nominated for Best Picture and landed Alibar a nomination for best Original Screenplay, which she shared co-writing credit on with Zeitlin.Last Thursday, things came full circle for Alibar when she returned to her alma mater, NYU, to accept the Woman of the Year award at NYU's Fusion Film Festival and stage a live reading of "Juicy and Delicious." Indiewire caught up with the young writer to talk about her new-found career in screenwriting, including adapting "The Secret Garden" for Guillermo del Toro, finally meeting Tony Kushner, and her brushes with Oscar celebrity.
So you attended NYU in ETW, the experimental theater program. Did you do any film work while you were there? Did you act in film or anything?
I didn't actually know anyone at the film school. They kept us very sequestered; we didn't have time to do anything else. We were our own entity; they called us the Naked Studio. People would get naked for, well, for their projects but really for anything.
When you were growing up in the Florida panhandle, how did you stumble upon experimental theater and have enough access to it that it became a passion for you?
My mom taught painting in the prisons, so we lived about an hour away from Tallahassee. And they have an incredible public library and incredible public schools. So my mom taught painting at the Tallahassee prisons and I got residency to go to school in Tallahassee at this really good magnet school. And because my mom worked so much and we lived so far away she would just drop me off at the library. I would spend until the library closed every day just reading. And they had some incredible books: they had Spaulding Gray, Eric Bogosian, Tony Kushner. I always thought playwriting was this very unattainable, perfect thing that I could never get to. But then when I started reading pieces that were written in a person's voice, Spaulding Gray or John Leguizamo, all of a sudden I saw that it could be very experiential and very in your own voice, and that that voice could be exquisite if it's mindful enough. That was when I started really seeing the possibilities of someone like me who wasn't very educated, wasn't very smart, but had stories to tell.
Were there a lot of opportunities for you to use that growing up? Did you write a lot as a kid, or get involved in the theater?
Growing up the only theatrical performances that I remember being exposed to were Passion plays at Easter in the Church, which could get really crazy where I'm from. I always wrote in a journal, and then I got into the Young Playwrights program, which is based here. They did a lot of outreach and my school was one that they send fliers to. So I entered the contest and ended up getting it. And that's how I met Benh Zeitlin, when we were fourteen, we were both there at the same time. I would say locally the opportunities all came through reading. I went to a really good public school but as far as theater and anything like that we didn't really have it.
How did you and Benh decide to start collaborating, and specifically try to turn something you had written for theater into a film, of all things?
Benh has always been the first person I've shown a piece of writing to, and vice versa. He'll show me all of his short films. So I showed him "Juicy" right after I wrote it, when it was still really raw to me. And he came to me a few months later with the idea of filming it and setting it in the bayou. I had no real expectation or idea of anything happening beyond actually shooting it. But it sounded like a great adventure, so I sublet-ted my apartment and went to the Bayou. We had no expectations of anything at that point.
Had he shot [Benh's short film] "Glory at Sea" at that point? That film obviously shares a lot of DNA with "Beasts."
While he was shooting "Glory," he said he drove down the road as far as he could go and that's how he found this location, where "Beasts" was shot and that inspired it. I was in New York writing "Juicy" at that time.
Wow, so it's kind of a series of interconnected events.
Yeah! And it's funny because he was asking me to come down and work on "Glory" and I said no, there's this play in me that I've got to get out, I can't focus on anything else. And I think we both learned so much in those processes, me writing "Juicy" and him making "Glory," about our next step. I think it served us really well in our collaboration.

For a brief moment there, it seemed like Scarlett Johansson and Woody Allen were inseparable. Starring in (almost) three straight movies for the director -- "Match Point," "Scoop" and "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" (Allen also delivered "Cassandra's Dream" in that stretch) -- the actress was part of the director's late stage career return to glory after nearly a decade marked by a series of increasingly bad films. But after that trio of pictures, they parted ways at Allen's insistence, fearing that the actress would become defined only by her work with him.
"I have every intention of working with her again, but I just didn't think it was a great idea for either one of us to work together too intensely, picture after picture. I didn't want her to be burdened by, 'Oh, she's in all the Woody Allen pictures, it's so predictable,' and she's my new muse, and all that silliness," he said to Vanity Fair. But as for Johansson, she's eagerly waiting for her phone to ring again.
"I don't think anything's played out. I'm waiting for him to write my 'Citizen Kane,'" she says. And while it's easy to be cynical and scoff at the ambitious statement, Johansson tends to be underrated on the acting front. Remember, David Fincher seriously considered her for "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" on the strength of her audition footage (she was ultimately deemed too sexy for the role, however) and she took home a Tony award for her part in "A View from the Bridge."
"I'd spent four months bleeding all over the stage, completely exposed. I felt I was forever changed by that experience. It was unbelievable holding that Tony," she says.
Oh and in case you care, those nudes of Scarlett Johansson that were hacked from her phone? They are from a few years ago, they were sent to her husband at the time, Ryan Reynolds, and while she's mortified they got out there, the act of taking such photos is no big deal to her. "There's nothing wrong with that. It's not like I was shooting a porno" she said, adding, "Although there's nothing wrong with that either."
She'll next be seen in "We Bought A Zoo" in December, followed by "The Avengers" in the following Spring. She's currently filming Jonathan Glazer's cerebral sci-fi thingy "Under The Skin," playing, of course, an alien. And while we have to wait and see if Johansson and Allen will get together again, perhaps there will be room in his next film, which is tentatively being eyed for a Munich shoot.

Feel sorry for Narain... although he's never had the chance to drive good points scoring cars in F1 this will surely be the worst F1 car he'll drive - even the Minardi he did testing in can't have been as bad as last years, and this years Hispania car (if it is finished in time - rumour is it will miss testing and run properly at first race).
@Anand, quite possibly we will see more investment from India, BUT India itself is a significant market so I wouldn't be surprised to see some concentrated advertising/sponsorship from some other big multi-nationals on some cars for that race / around the track itself.

DETROIT - The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Detroit District reported a preliminary new record low water level for Lake Michigan-Huron. The new record low of 175.57 meters, or 576.02', is not only the lowest January monthly average water level ever recorded, but also the lowest monthly average ever recorded for any month over the official period of record for Great Lakes water levels, which extends back to 1918. The Corps latest forecasts indicate a strong likelihood for continued record lows on Lake Michigan-Huron over the next several months. Water levels on the remaining Great Lakes are expected to remain below their respective long-term average water levels, but above record lows.
"Not only have water levels on Michigan-Huron broken records the past two months, but they have been very near record lows for the last several months before then. Lake Michigan-Huron's water levels have also been below average for the past 14 years, which is the longest period of sustained below average levels since 1918 for that lake," John Allis, chief of the Great Lakes Hydraulics and Hydrology Office at the Corps, the office that monitors Great Lakes water levels, said in a prepared statement.
In this report from UpNorth News, you can see how locals are being affected, as well as hear from Durocher Marine, out of Sheboygan, Wis., who said that with the increased difficulties also comes new work opportunities:
The current record low water levels on Lake Michigan-Huron, the Corps reported, are the result of lower than average snowfall during the winter of 2011-2012, coupled with the very hot and dry summer. Together these conditions led to only a 4 inch seasonal rise of Lake Michigan-Huron in 2012, compared to an average rise of 12 inches. Also, evaporation was significantly above average during the summer and fall months and contributed to a very rapid seasonal decline.
Above average precipitation and snow cover coupled with below average evaporation this winter are needed to raise Lake Michigan-Huron water levels above record lows. However, it would take similar conditions over many seasons for levels to rise to near average levels.

Photo by Cpl. Caitlin Brink
Rct. April Wilson, a 19-year-old native of Danville, Va., is currently training at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, S.C., in hopes of earning the title of United States Marine. Wilson is training with Platoon 4012, Papa Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, and is scheduled to graduate April 25, 2014. "I decided to join the United States Marine Corps to gain confidence, self-discipline and mental strength and to be something greater than an average American citizen. I was born to defend my country and bring pride to my family. The United States Marine Corps is my calling," said Wilson, who graduated from Dan River High School in Ringgold, Va., in 2013. Approximately 20,000 recruits come to Parris Island annually for the chance to become United States Marines by enduring 13 weeks of rigorous, transformative training. Parris Island is home to entry-level enlisted training for 50 percent of males and 100 percent of females in the Marine Corps. (Photo by Cpl. Caitlin Brink)

John, I really loved this. What a wonderful husband you are!
I was thinking the other day that although Proverbs 31 speaks of the ideal wife, there isn't really an equivalent section about being the ideal husband. However, I think you've nailed one of the most important things here. Although there comes a point where wisdom may be needed if the dreams are a little off-kilter, there is nothing like having a husband who is cheering you on. Believe me, I know.
My husband very quietly does that. Without his support of my dreams, I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing today, and I definitely wouldn't have been able to travel from Australia to speak at the FaithWriters' Conference last August. So keep championing her dreams. It makes a huge difference.
AND, if you ever make the decision to become a 500 member, please let me know. We only use 500 Member material in the monthly FaithWriters' Magazine, and this would have been an ideal addition. So if you ever sign up, send me a Private Message or contact me through FaithWriters, and let me know.
In His love, Deb (Editor, FaithWriters' Magazine and Challenge Coordinator)
