Supply and Demand Report: 11 May
by Keith Weiner
This was another short week, with Monday a bank holiday in the UK.
Through Tuesday, the prices of the metals seemed to want to hold onto the increase that was sparked by an unemployment report. It wasn't until Wednesday that the prices began to sag, almost but not quite to the pre-unemployment report levels again by Friday.
We are not going to lament the folly of man nor trader. We are not even going to comment on the accuracy, or lack thereof, of the unemployment data. We are simply interested in the evolving dynamic between the fundamental setters of the prices of the monetary metals and the speculators who are trying to front run them.
Read on…
First, here is the graph of the metals' prices.
The Prices of Gold and Silver
We are interested in the changing equilibrium created when some market participants are accumulating hoards and others are dishoarding. Of course, what makes it exciting is that speculators can (temporarily) exaggerate or fight against the trend. The speculators are often acting on rumors, technical analysis, or partial data about flows into or out of one corner of the market. That kind of information can't tell them whether the globe, on net, hoarding or dishoarding.
One could point out that gold does not, on net, go into or out of anything. Yes, that is true. But it can come out of hoards and into carry trades. That is what we study. The gold basis tells us about this dynamic.
Conventional techniques for analyzing supply and demand are inapplicable to gold and silver, because the monetary metals have such high inventories. In normal commodities, inventories divided by annual production can be measured in months. The world just does not keep much inventory in wheat or oil.
With gold and silver, stocks to flows is measured in decades. Every ounce of those massive stockpiles is potential supply. Everyone on the planet is potential demand. At the right
price. Looking at incremental changes in mine output or electronic manufacturing is not helpful to predict the future prices of the metals. For an introduction and guide to our concepts and theory, click here.
Next, this is a graph of the gold price measured in silver, otherwise known as the gold to silver ratio. The ratio moved up this week, ending about 67.4.
The Ratio of the Gold Price to the Silver Price
For each metal, we will look at a graph of the basis and cobasis overlaid with the price of the dollar in terms of the respective metal. It will make it easier to provide terse commentary. The dollar will be represented in green, the basis in blue and cobasis in red.
Here is the gold graph.
The Gold Basis and Cobasis and the Dollar Price
The dollar is up slightly, to over 24mg. The cobasis is up slightly.
We have previously discussed the extraordinarily high level of the gold cobasis across all contracts. It is not in backwardation, but it's new and different in the post-2008 world to see such a high cobasis (around -0.1%) so far out from the present date. This is evidence of a tight gold market, and suggestive that the price could go higher.
What is interesting to note is that we are in the midst of the contract roll. Those who are long gold are selling their June contracts and if they want to remain long gold they can buy August or a farther month. There is a famous scene in a Sherlock Holmes story, where the dog does not bark in the night (which proves the criminal was known to the dog).
This is the contract roll, which seems not to be able to shove the June cobasis over the zero line. The market is tight but perhaps not that tight.
Now let's look at silver.
The Silver Basis and Cobasis and the Dollar Price
The cobasis fell as the dollar fell (i.e. silver price rose), showing the move was speculative. It ended the week slightly higher than it ended last week. Not only is the silver cobasis four times lower than gold's, but the next month is almost twice lower than that. Gold may be tight, but silver not so much.
We saw one headline on Friday that silver is in backwardation. Not from where we sit, though the July basis is negative. Our definition of backwardation is strict: when one can sell metal in the spot market (bid) for more than one can buy it in the futures market (ask). This is because we are looking for an actionable trade—to decarry.
There is no profit in decarrying silver today. We promise to bellow from the rooftops when, once again, there is.

Nice an entire page of ignorant delusionary meaningless drivel. The great minds of Zero Hedge strike again.
We have been living under the UNITED STATES CORPORATION which is owned by certain international bankers and aristocracy of Europe and Britain.
1871, February 21: Congress Passes an Act to Provide a Government for the District of Columbia, also known as the Act of 1871*
"With no constitutional authority to do so, Congress creates a separate form of government for the District of Columbia, a ten mile square parcel of land (see, Acts of the Forty-first Congress," Section 34, Session III, chapters 61 and 62).
The act -- passed when the country was weakened and financially depleted in the aftermath of the Civil War -- was a strategic move by foreign interests (international bankers) who were intent upon gaining a stranglehold on the coffers and neck of America.
Congress cut a deal with the international bankers (specifically Rothschilds of London) to incur a DEBT to said bankers. Because the bankers were not about to lend money to a floundering nation without serious stipulations, they devised a way to get their foot in the door of the United States."
(ALL CAPS is a corporation, your birth cert. is a 70 year t-note)
There are no real prices for Gold or Silver while the paper casinos are in business.
Than how come gold cant re trace above 50% of the recent decline? It looks like its topped twice and needs six months of less supply from any of your buddies?
"the graph of the metals' prices."
The "price" data is of course, impeccable.
This guy's articles make me LOL like no other. He looks at a small part of something he doesn't understand. Then he makes it his whole philosphy. That somehow licenses him to invent words and concepts for shadows which don't exist. To top it off he attempts to desimplify a very simple issue with big words and extended flowery prose.
Dude, the only people that carry trade gold are big bankers who can borrow it for zero percent form the Fed. And guess what? They don't carry trade it. They use it to bomb the markets for derivative profits. NO ONE trades the way you describe. NO ONE. That is like saying bond traders give a crap about interest rates. THEY DON'T. They care about the market price of the bond.
The art of writing is about trying to be understandable. You are turning a simple concept into complete nonsensical gibberish.
Prices under the pressure of changes in supply and demand can be a lot like a carnival ride. By this I mean fast and abrupt swings can take place and often we see prices go to unimaginable extremes.
It would be better to say changes in "supply or demand", we should fully realize the market works best when at least one side of the equation remains somewhat stable. More about how inflation effects supply in the article below.
What is the purpose of this bullshit? Nothing on this page accounts for manipulation and fraud by the Bullion banks. No graph will affect price and no amount of Bullion matters now till they realize the paper dollar is worthless! These so called experts have been wrong about Gold and Silver for 3 years because charts are bullshit when you live in a world of corruption and outright fraud by big banks and banking cartels! You cannot chart deception or money printing!
Hey stackers. Need some advice. Is it better to buy coins OR good delivery gold bars in the 1 oz or 50 gram bar.
Pamp or Valcambi
The only real questions are: who is perpetrating the fraud and why?
I think it is the China/Russia pact keeping the price low so that they can buy the physical.
China and Russia acting on their own?
There have to be many players, each acting on their own motivation.
- China and Russia wanting gold, probably to be included at a higher ratio in the upcoming new currency.
- US, cause the FED is fighting gold to try and make the dollar to last long enough to push the SDR to fruition.
- Wall Street cause they make a % on everything you do and when creating money has no cost, profits are infinite.
Or the Fed fears hiking rates due to past currency problems with debtor nations! The Fed fears too much money COMING IN and not going out! WHO EVER CONVINCED YOU THE DOLLAR IS ABOUT TO COLLAPSE HAS INTERDUCED A MASSIVE BRAIN FART IN YOUR HEADS!

'Love sick' with Fredericksburg: Filmmakers bring day-long shoot to Hangar Hotel
SETTING UP his shot, director of photography Jeffery Buras (right) prepares to film a scene at the bar with actresses (from left) Shina Sterns, Dani Bell and Kelsey Pribilski Sunday afternoon at the Hangar Hotel Officers' Club for the upcoming short film "Love Sick Lonnie." —Standard-Radio Post/Matt Ward
By Matt Ward— Film crews shut down the Hangar Hotel Officers' Club Sunday as the Hill Country Film Society (HCFS) shot a large portion of their second short film "Love Sick Lonnie."
A non-profit organization that hosts the annual Hill Country Film Festival in Fredericksburg, the society finished principal photography on their second short film after the success of "Detention," shot at St. Mary's Catholic School last summer and shown at the 2013 Hill Country Film Festival.
"We just wanted to shoot another short film and involve the city of Fredericksburg," HCFS executive director Chad Mathews, who also wrote, directed and acted in "Love Sick Lonnie," said.
Mathews said the inspiration for "Love Sick Lonnie" came from friend Michael Morales, who stars as Lonnie, and his obsession with boy bands.
"He has this just funny mannerism that he just loves boy bands and sings all the time in real life," Mathews said. "I wrote this piece with him in mind and thought that this could be a clean comedy and we could shoot in Fredericksburg."
The majority of the film takes place in a bar, where a heartbroken Lonnie communicates through the lyrics of boy band songs.
"This location at the Hangar Hotel is just perfect because it has such a great American bar (vibe)," Mathews said. "This could be any bar in America and it's one of the many locations in this town."
Filming at the local hotel bar was the second and final day of shooting after a shorter work day Saturday in Austin, shooting at a baseball field and inside Mathews' home.
The Fredericksburg portion of photography Sunday was spent entirely in the Officers' Club, where scenes were rehearsed and shot over a 10-hour day.
The film crew used lighting techniques, several costume changes and areas of the club, allowing scenes that occur on different days and times to be shot at the same location.
"Love Sick Lonnie" also marked Mathews' first time to direct and act in the same project.
"It's fun. I think the best way to be able to do it is to have people that you trust help you out," Mathews said. "One of our producers, Gary Weeks, and our editor, William Reed, they're looking at the monitors while I'm on camera and they're extremely helpful in letting me know if we're getting the shot right."
"It's the stuff that I would be doing behind the monitor if I wasn't in the scene," he added. "I'm in most of the scenes today, so I'm really relying on friends that I trust."

Welcome (Back) Marketplace Money Listeners!
Posted By Jim On 09/27/2008 @ 8:51 am In Personal Finance | 2 Comments
Welcome, welcome, all of the great listeners of Marketplace Money!
For those of you who haven't heard the podcast, Lynnae of BeingFrugal.net [3], Steve of Brip Blap [4], and I had the pleasure of chatting once again with Tess Vigeland of Marketplace Money [5] and it was a blast, yet again. The last time we chatted, it was about personal finance blogging [6], this time the topic was the financial chaos of these past few weeks and how things may be going forward. The entire show is available here [7] and our discussion is here [8] (clip recap [9]).
If you only listen to our clip, you should consider listening to the whole radio show because there's a piece where Stephen Hoffman interviews some children on the economic crisis [10]. It's absolutely adorable and priceless. They're in Chicago and there's one girl who says she'd resort to buying stuff in another country… like Detroit!
If, after my answers, you're curious as to who I am, I discuss a little about myself and this site on the About page [11]. I try to touch on all personal finance topics from banking to frugality, the stock market to saving for a home, and everything in between. If it deals with our money, how to save more of it, how to spend less of it (and still maintain a happy lifestyle), then chances are I'll touch on it. If I don't, tell me about it and I'll try! And if you ever want to reach me, you can email me at the address in the upper right or use this handy contact form [12]. Thanks!
I hope that you enjoy your time here and consider subscribing to receive free updates of the site. You can do so with your favorite RSS reader [13] or get posts piped directly to your email each day. I update at least twice daily (you'll only get one email a day) and I don't use the email for anything other than to send out these updates (oh, I giveaway stuff too and email subscribers are automatically entered).

Rather than dip our editorial keyboard back into the septic tank and rehash yet again the sordid details of the sexual harassment lawsuit pending against county government, let's instead look this week at the apparent fallout it has caused.
A pair of articles in this week's paper examine problems within county government, both directly related to employees failing to focus on the tasks at hand.
Who were you three years ago? If the you from three years ago met your present-day self, would you know each other?
These sound like crazy questions, but they are precisely the questions being addressed in a novel I'm reading, titled "Remember Me?" by Sophie Kinsella.
(Kinsella is the author of the "Shopaholic" series. "Confessions of a Shopaholic" was made into a movie starring Isla Fisher in 2009. As usual, the books are better.)
Column as I see 'em ...
I'll start off this week giving props to magistrate and judge-executive candidate John Wayne Conway for largely backing off on his initial reaction to one of his opponents admitting that a county worker sprayed weed killer after his certification to do so had expired.
On the surface the incident could have been remarkably serious. Chemicals being sprayed by those who have no idea what they are doing is never a good thing. But keep in mind, the worker who sprayed them was previously certified and had used this chemical for years.
A welcome addition and the need for a dog area in local parks
To the editor:
The following is a summary of my thoughts on a couple of topics.
We have a new resident in our city who follows the teachings of Jesus and makes herself available to help many of the elderly in gracious ways. We should all welcome Pam Walker. She has been a teacher in the public school system for over 30 years, but still allows time for many Christian endeavors. Thanks for one more good person in this modern day.
Well, August always has been a hot month. Just keep repeating to yourself, "It's better than an ice storm." It also helps to remember that there was a time without air conditioning. Many of us remember when we only had a box fan in the window to keep us cool. Now days, we run the AC and complain about the bill.
The University of Kentucky's football team made headlines last week for all the right reasons.
According to reports from several media outlets, 30 members of the team helped the Christian Appalachian Project load supplies Thursday into trucks that would travel to Pike County, an area hit hard by flooding last month.
At least one report said 50 team members signed up to participate, but the project could only accommodate 30.
On its website, www.christianapp.org, the project confirms it received some help from some very eager team members.
I took a trip up to Indiana last week. It's just a day trip, albeit a long one. Going up, I drove through a gully washer. I've been through a lot of gully washers in my life but this was the mother of all gully washers that hit just before I got on Interstate 465. Thankfully, there wasn't too much traffic at that time of day, but as usual, it was undergoing some construction.
Given the contents of last week's column about the pending trial of the woman suing the county on sexual harassment and other assorted vile allegations, it's good to know the judge-executive has retained what I guess is a sense of humor.
Or at least is planning for his future when he leaves office at the end of this year.
When I showed up for work Monday morning, one of my coworkers brought me my mail including an envelope the judge had mailed from his home on Powell Taylor Road. It even had one of those ready-made return address stickers with his name on it.

I got a letter from the Puerto Rico Tax Collector's Office. Apparently I owe them some money, a few Ks it seems. They claim I didn't filled/paid my taxes during a 3 year period. And of course I did not... I left the Island a year before that period and never looked back!
I've phone them, requesting what proof of income they are using to base their accusation but they refuse to discuss anything over the phone and say I have only 2 options:
1) Pay Up
2) Get my ass over there and deal with the problem in person.
Funny thing, this so called investigators missed the fact that the last year I was there, I did filed but never paid. Not paying is not a big issue, the debt does pile up and gain interests but you are still a free person. Not filling on the other hand, it's a criminal act and will land you in jail for a long time.
And there lies the problem. If I present myself there, I can be arrested right at the airport and thrown in jail for not filling these alleged taxes.
This issue is becoming a major PIA. Seems I need to research how to build a killdozer just in case.

Compton Sheriffs salute local 3 time Purple Heart Marine Corps recipient.
Four weeks ago while sitting at home having dinner with his wife and children, Sherman Watson answered a knock at the door. Much to his surprise, the person at the door was none other than George Oliphant, the host of "George to the Rescue". George had great news for Mr. Watson; a nationwide search for a veteran deserving of the show's accolades landed him at Mr. Watson's door step.
Sherman Watson served his country for approximately 6 years in the United States Marine Corps having deployed three times to the Middle East. During each tour he earned a Purple Heart Medal for his unwavering bravery in combat situations. Andrew Scerbo, producer of the show, said what made this story very special was that Corporal Watson returned to the Middle East despite having suffered injuries during each Middle East deployment. He added that the show will air in October 2012.
During the renovation of his Compton home, Mr. Watson and his family were relocated to the Luxe City Center Hotel in downtown Los Angeles. The "George to the Rescue" renovation team had two weeks to remodel and upgrade the Watson's home. Volunteers from, Team Rubicon, Got Your Six Veteran Hunters Project and neighbors joined together to complete the renovations.
On Friday July, 27, 2012, Compton Sheriff's Station provided an escort from the hotel to the home for the viewing of the home. Upon arrival, the family was joined by hundreds of neighbors, family, friends and Marines from Camp Pendleton to celebrate the remodel and commemorate his service to the nation. The ceremony included a sobering moment as the "Halls of Montezuma" was played while the Marine Corps flag was raised on a flag pole.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department gives thanks and praises to Corporal Watson and his family for serving our nation and his bravery.

win7 64bit, latest official blender build (2.63a)
When in the uv image editor, I click on new (to create a blank image), the eye Dropper doesn't work. It does just nothing there, mouse icon doesn't change, its just nothing happening.

win7 64bit, latest official blender build (2.63a)
The eyedropper seems to average or add the values... when trying to pick a color on the colorgrid, you can move the mouse an infinite number of time and it will eventually end up being that color.
otherwise if you movie it around all the olor , it kind of ends up with a kind of grey.
hope it can help
There are two design limitations involved here:
- Eyedropper requires RNA path to editing property and operator's properties does not actually have RNA path.
- Eyedropper is an operator, which means second operator would be called from another operator, which is not actually supported.
Listed the issue to our wiki TODO list http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.5/Source/Development/Todo/UserInterface#UI_Widgets
Probably we'll need to hide this button from places where it can't work.
Commited fix to rev50845 which hide the color picker button from a popup. All the rest possible solutions are currently ending up with a design limitations.
Thanks for the report, closing.

Primer on Success
Character and knowledge make the difference

Winter 2013 / VOL. 13, NO. 1
How Children Succeed: Grit, Curiosity, and the Hidden Power of Character
By Paul Tough
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2012, $27; 256 pages.
As reviewed by E. D. Hirsch Jr.
Paul Tough follows his excellent book about Geoffrey Canada and the Harlem Children's Zone with one on improving the school achievement and life chances of disadvantaged children. The title is How Children Succeed, and the chapter heads continue the how-to motif of the title: 1. How to Fail (and How Not To). 2. How to Build Character. 3. How to Think. 4. How to Succeed. 5. A Better Path. If the book really delivered on these headings, Tough would deserve immense success. I hope the book does sell well, though perhaps not too well. Its ultimate message is that "non-cognitive" abilities and traits are more important to success than mere academic achievement, and that message, while containing important truths, is overstated.
Tough gathers scientific results and personal observations from a number of estimable sources among researchers and practitioners, all supporting the idea that what really determines success is character and perseverance rather than raw intelligence and book learning. At the same time, he shows that what truly handicaps a child is horrible early upbringing and neglect. The term of art for the permanent psychic damage done is ACE: Adverse Childhood Experiences. This, by now well-attested finding is the best argument for the intrusion of outsiders into the homes of neglectful or cruel caregivers, and it is the best explanation for the observation that poverty accompanies lower achievement all over the world. This poverty argument (it's not Tough's) is also oversimplified, since, as the PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) reports show, some parts of the world diminish the poverty-achievement correlation far more than the U.S., through better schooling.
What connects the ACE segment of the book ("How to Fail") with more positive themes is the common "non-cognitive" feature. "How to Build Character" takes off from the successful KIPP schools and their emphasis on good manners and perseverance. The chapter goes on to show that a certain kind of test requiring no academic knowledge, only a willingness to persist in a boring task, is, other things equal, highly predictive of later success. "How to Think" focuses on how middle-school chess players from a low-income school manage consistently to beat advantaged students and even high-school chess teams. Focus and practice are the keys. In other words, perseverance and hard work are "how to think." And "How to Succeed"? Also perseverance and hard work.
No one would or should dispute the importance of diligence and perseverance. Classic texts on education such as Plato's Republic and Locke's Some Thoughts Concerning Education emphasize that character development and virtue are far more important educational goals than mere acquisition of knowledge. At the same time, those writers are quite explicit in setting forth the breadth of knowledge children need to acquire. If Tough had updated that "both/and" tradition with the latest reports from the field, he would have no argument from me. But he takes the view that an emphasis on knowledge acquisition, which he calls "the cognitive hypothesis," has been tried and it has failed. Here is what he has to say in his introduction:
In the past decade, and especially in the past few years, a disparate congregation of economists, educators, psychologists and neuroscientists have begun to produce evidence that call into question many of the assumptions behind the cognitive hypothesis. What matters most in a child's development, they say, is not how much information we can stuff into her brain in the first few years. What matters instead is whether we are able to help her develop a very different set of qualities, a list that includes persistence, self-control, curiosity, conscientiousness, grit, and self-confidence. Economists refer to these as non-cognitive skills, psychologists call them personality traits, and the rest of us sometimes think of them as character.
I sympathize with Tough's judgment that "the cognitive hypothesis" (in his view of it) has failed. During the era of No Child Left Behind very little progress has been made in narrowing the achievement gap between advantaged and disadvantaged students. Yet it is hard to argue from recent reform efforts that the aim has been to increase the "information we can stuff into her brain in the first few years." On the contrary, "mere information" has been disparaged in favor of how-to strategies and test-taking skills. What Tough calls "the cognitive hypothesis" with regard to academics might better be called the "how-to hypothesis," paralleling his own how-to approach with regard to character. He does not cite the work of Jerome Kagan and others showing that many fundamental character traits tend to be innate and unchanging.
Moreover, there is strong evidence that increasing the general knowledge and vocabulary of a child before age six is the single highest correlate with later success. Tough alludes to the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY) studies, which show that a young adolescent's score on the Armed Forces Qualification Test (AFQT) is the best single predictor of later income. The AFQT is a math and verbal test. It is scored by doubling the verbal component before computing the overall raw score. This verbal component, largely a vocabulary test, is an index to general knowledge. General knowledge is also the best single predictor of later academic achievement among preschoolers and kindergartners, as has been shown by analyses of the Early Childhood Longitudinal Survey–Kindergarten Cohort (ECLS-K1992), which has followed the life paths of some 2,700 children over the past decade. After general knowledge, the next best predictor is fine-motor skill, which is correlated with the development of "executive function," a cognitive ability. In third place come the non-cognitive features that Tough emphasizes in his book.
The critical missing element in Tough's otherwise informative book is the phrase "other things equal." He effectively shows that people who have more grit, character, and persistence will succeed better than those who have less, other things equal. Those other things are determined chiefly, though not exclusively, by "how much information we can stuff" into a child's mind in the early years; a more neutral way of stating it is: "how much general knowledge and vocabulary we can impart in the early years." The disparaging phrase "stuffing" is tendentious and inaccurate. Knowledge-based schooling is far more interesting to a child than how-to schooling, and far more effective.
There is a moment in Tough's account when, good reporter that he is, he seems to acknowledge this fundamental qualification of his argument. He describes James, a middle schooler who by grit, brains, expert coaching, and intense focus has turned himself into a national-master chess player at age 12. Yet there's a twist. James is preparing for an academic test that will determine whether he will be admitted to one of the selective high schools of New York City. He is being tutored intensively, by Ms. Spiegel, his chess coach:
In the middle of July, though, Spiegel told me she was starting to get discouraged. She was working hard with James on the test, and he was applying himself even on hot summer days, but she was daunted by how much he did not know. He couldn't locate Africa or Asia on a map. He couldn't name a single European country. When they did reading comprehension drills, he didn't recognize words like infant, and communal, and beneficial…. "I feel angry on his behalf," she told me. "He knows basic functions, but he doesn't know geometry, he doesn't get the idea of writing an equation. He's at the level I would have been at in second or third grade."
Tough ends the account on an upbeat note: "He's only twelve, after all." But this optimism is misplaced. Given the "Matthew Effect" (where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer) and the slowness of vocabulary acquisition, James has been disadvantaged permanently, just as if he had been the victim of ACE.
E. D. Hirsch Jr. is founder and chairman of the Core Knowledge Foundation and professor emeritus of education and humanities at the University of Virginia.
Comment on this article
Wonderful review of this book. While appreciating the contribution the author makes regarding the importance of qualities such as persistence, grit and character, it addresses an unspoken indictment. It is an indictment of knowledge based early education and accountability for the academic preparation of all students, despite their circumstances. I have known too many students like James.
This either/or thinking seems to be present in many discussions about school reform. If you advocate for data based systems that give educators the information needed to prepare students academically, then you are ignoring the effects of poverty, for example.
Is it possible for educators to do a good job, along with other social agencies, of reducing the impact of poverty on children, yet do a great job of using the tools at our disposal, curriculum, instruction, and data to prepare them academically?
I believe it is possible.

I did'nt like Tough's reporting in the NYTimes. He had a lengthly piece in it which is, no doubt the basis for his book.

cheap chic: 13 nyc vintage stores
by Laura Kusnyer, 03/07/2012
Photo: Diana Oh
- more in shopping/
- recently/
Flying A
This SoHo shop's looks have been featured everywhere from Nylon to GQ on actresses like Evan Rachel Wood and Taryn Manning. Head toward the back for a selection of vintage wear in such tip-top condition, you'd think they were part of Flying A's inventory of new goods—which includes its iconic T-shirts and totes, oodles of men's and women's apparel and a fat crop of skinny jeans. Vintage boots and shoes are scattered throughout, and there are plenty of leather belts to choose from.
What's in store: Flying A vintage is centered around three types of clothing: airy dresses from the '60s, '70s and '80s; tanks; and Western shirts for ladies and gents. The selection isn't huge, but every piece is essentially in mint condition. If you don't see something, though, ask the staff—they're constantly bringing up goods from downstairs.
Price range: Dresses typically range from $100 to $150, tanks are around $30 and button-downs are about $50.

Sometimes your plug comes out in small pieces. so yes it is possible to have gradually lost it, but what normally happens is you lose small bits until the larger bunch comes out. ill try and explain, it kind of looks like clear snot, with small strings of greenish colour and can sometimes have blood in it, the day before i lost the whole thing, i notices a really gooey clear discharge, and by the next day the whole thing came out when i wiped after a pee.posted 01/09/2013 by Aautumn

Republicans "Misfire" on Ben Rhodes HearingOversight Committee Chairman Chaffetz rushed to hold a hearing on Republican accusations that White House advisor Ben Rhodes sold a false narrative to the American people about the Iran nuclear agreement. Ironically, Chaffetz's star witness at the hearing was John Hannah – Vice President Dick Cheney's top national security adviser who, as Cummings stated, "wrote the 'how-to' manual" on pushing a false White House narrative about weapons of mass destruction. In fact, Hannah admitted under oath yesterday that the Bush Administration's goal in the run-up to the Iraq war was to "pick out" the intelligence that "made the strongest case that in fact Saddam did have weapons of mass destruction."
Cummings Issues Statement on Valeant's Pricing ChangesRep. Elijah E. Cummings, Ranking Member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, issued the following statement after Valeant Pharmaceuticals' new CEO, Joseph Papa, announced a plan to offer rebates for two of its hospital-administered heart drugs, Isuprel and Nitropress: "For several years, I have been pressing drug company CEOs to stop treating innocent patients like collateral damage and hospitals like ATMs by raising the price of critical drugs to line their own pockets.
Michigan Governor's Responses to Congress Raise New Concerns About His TestimonyRep. Elijah E.

The GTF and LeapX exploit substantially different technologies to each achieve double-digit fuel burn reductions. Reasoning from a energy security/ecological perspective, could PW and CFM be forced to collaborate on one engine incorporating all planned technologies? Would the US government presently have any legal means of forcing this "merger" short of enacting new energy legislation? Would any such new legislation have a chance of being constitutional?
Seems a pity not to profit from both technologies combined...

Average Customer Review: based on 1 reviews.Rating: Hollis 8/7/6mm Neotek Semi-Dry Super-Stretch Wetsuit with Attached Hood Review - Scuba Gear Customer Reviews
I am girl approx 58 and 127-130 lbs. and I am considering diving off the coast of Maine near Acadia National Park-during the summer time-what type of wet suit should I get? When I went diving in more temperate-tropical dive sites such as Costa Rica in December, I was extremely cold with a wetsuit-I have issues regulating my body temperature when I am on land and dry...
Hello, yes this suit would be in the line of suits you will want to dive in the water temp. When you are sizing a suit the two most important measurements are going to be your chest/bust and waist. Height is going to be a secondary measurements and weight is the last measurements you take into account.
I recently purchase the Mares 6.5 mil, which is a great suit, but under the recommendation by scuba.com, because of my measurements they recommended me XXXLarge. After I dove with it once ( I had left my back up suit at the house), I noticed that it was loose in the hips, chest and back area. What is scuba.coms return policy on suits that have been worn? Thank You!
Hello Bill, here is the link and paperwork to return an item: http://www.scuba.com/ads/shipping.asp#return.
The Hollis Neotek appears to be a replacement for the SD7 semi-dry, which advertised double blind-stitch seams. The Neotek, on the otherhand, is advertised as having double glued blind-stitch construction seams. Nowhere is the Neotek advertised as having double blind-stitch seams. Can you tell me whether or not the Hollis Neotek semi-dry wetsuit has double blind-stitch seams?
Good morning, here are the spec's from the hollis website. And yes they have the blind stich. •8/7/6mm mix of compression resistant and superstretch neoprene •Exclusive "ThermaSkin" inner liner •G-lock horizontal front zipper with internal bib •Neck, Wrist and Ankle internal dams •Seams are quadruple glued and butt joined with a blindstitch •Liquid glued seams cover entire suit •Technically friendly thigh pockets on both left and right thigh for storage of accessories •Attached hood standard
Hello, This wetsuit really looks like great. Can anyone commit on how well it might work off the coast of Southern California, i.e. Channel Islands, wrecks off San Diego, warmth, stretch, fit, "fun underwater", summer, winter, etc? Would someone who has dove with it choose it over an Oneil? Thank You, God Bless, Bob F.
Hello, I am 5 6 tall, waist is 34 and weigh 190 pounds. Im interested in the Holis wetsuit. I have an Akona that is a large and a Pinnacle that is LS. What size would you recommend? Also, Can you tell me about the 8/7/6 mm distribution? I was originally looking for a 7mm. Thanks, Julio
Hi guys!!!! I´m from Brazil, and I´m looking for a Semi-Dry Suit, Witch one is good as Hollis 8/7/6mm Neotek Semi-Dry Super-Stretch Wetsuit with Attached Hood, if Hollis is the best what size should I buy? because Ive been searching and the table of you site is a bit different from the Hollis table, Im 1.70m tall and weight 80kg. Thanks! :)
Hello Rafael, when you are sizing a wetsuit or dive skin. The two most important measurements are going to be your chest/bust and waist. Height is a secondary measurement and weight is the last measurement you take into account. Also this is an excellent suit for the style suit it is. Since this would be an international order you would need to add all of the items you would like to buy. Once those items are in your cart you are going to hit the checkout button using Amazon checkout. Once on the Amazon checkout page enter all of your billing and shipping information.

i have 2 semi dry suit questions. first, what is the best suit? there are deep water lakes here in wyoming that are 50 degrees at 30 ft depth, the warmest time of year...and they go 400-600+ feet. i would rather stick with semi dry rather than a fully dry suit. i currently wear a tilos 7 mil, xls. problem number 2i am 54" with a body weight around 215. im a pro powerlifter with a 46-48" chest 34 inch waist and 19" arms. any advise would be greatly appreciated. thanks!
Hello John, the semi-dry suit I would suggest for you by your measurements would be the 2XLS in: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-101/253063/Bare-8-7mm-Velocity-Super-Stretch-Semi-Dry-Hooded-Chest-Zip-Wetsuit.html.
Hi, Do you have any of these in stock right now? I am wishing to order a size ML. If none in stock then when do you think they will be back in stock? Thanks Tim

ComplicatedComplicated is not what I choose to be, it is a series of experiences that have impacted me. Curiosity is something I sought to heal so many open places inside that others cannot easily see. My own perceptions faulty and lacking have impacted my progression, thus causing me to slip into a continual state of regression leading to the bowels of depression. Now the journey to redemption is not an easy task to bring about ones equilibrium. The battle with the mind is a constant endeavor, not for the faint of heart or for those who think they are clever. Memories planted through carelessness had almost left me in distress I must confess. Though the mind does not intentionally try to be cruel, its design is divine, but I was as a mule. So slow to learn, from past mistakes I paid the price everyday I would wake, because you see perceptions have buried their seeds thus resulting in unfortunate deeds. I now take a stand to battle myself, to bury new seeds that give me hope and leaves me feeling afresh. Old memories must be dug out from the cavernous annals of ones mind, and for this I realize that it will take time. Though the flow is slow to begin I cannot endure the old perceptions for they do seem to borough which ultimately leaves one in state of constant sorrow. I'm up for the fight with all my might though complicated I still may somtimes project, but through grace and mercy will have the victory yet.

Have Legal Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
Hello and welcome to Just Answer.
In the state of Tennessee, domestic assault and domestic injunctions trigger lifetime gun prohibition. Otherwise, restoration of gun rights under Tennessee law requires a convicted citizen to petition for the restoration, and a chief law enforcement officer must endorse the petition or testify on behalf of the petitioning felon. The petition should ask for the restoration of the right to vote, the right to seek and hold public office, the right to serve on a jury, and the right to possess a firearm. Tennessee Law prohibits a felon whose rights have been restored from possessing a handgun if the conviction is for violent felonies or for a felony drug conviction. T.C.A. 39-17-1307(b)(1)

By definition, a firearm is a weapon that is designed to expel a projectile by the action of smokeless or black powder. This would preclude archery equipment and some BB guns.

North America
United States
Coeur d' Alene Reservation
The Coeur d' Alene Reservation covers 345,000 acres in North Idaho, spanning the rich Palouse farm country and the western edge of the northern Rocky Mountains. "The Rez," as the locals call it, includes the Coeur d' Alene and St. Joe Rivers, and Lake Coeur d' Alene itself, considered to be one of the most beautiful mountain lakes in the world. The reservation economy is based mostly on its productive agriculture. The Coeur d' Alene Tribe's 6,000 acre farm produces wheat, barley, peas, lentils and canola. The reservation countryside includes about 180,000 acres of forest and 150,000 acres of farmland, most of that farmland owned by private farmers. The reservation land also produces about 30,000 acres of Kentucky Blue Grass. Logging is another important component of the economy and source of revenue for the tribe. Only selective cutting of forests is undertaken on tribal land. Clear cuts are banned. Tourism, including tribal gaming operations, continues to grow and impact the local and regional economy. "The shadowy St. Joe" is one of North America's premier trout streams, flowing from the Idaho-Montana line down to the south end of Lake Coeur d' Alene. The lower St. Joe is the highest navigable stream in the world, and a waterway for the tugboats that push giant log booms to lumber mills along the Spokane River far to the north. The Coeur d' Alene River, meanwhile, would be equally beautiful. However, it still suffers desperately from heavy metal pollution. One hundred years of silver, lead and zinc mining in Idaho's Silver Valley resulted in the dumping of mine waste and tailings into the upper river and its tributaries. The 72 million tons of mine waste dumped into the basin also represent a deadly threat to Lake Coeur d' Alene. The Coeur d' Alene Tribe and the United States Government have each filed suit against the mining industry in an effort to restore the river and its watershed.

Secrets of Success
BLC Weekend Challenge 2
Monday, January 28, 2013
Ok, My reason to blog is basically to get some points. But we will evaluate how things seem to be going! Eating really well which I am happy about. Slowly feeling a bit better. Started yoga last week. Did it every day last week but Monday and then today. It is what I have been missing. I ordered a 60 day yoga program and should be getting it some time this week. Really like Kurt Johnson who is the one who put the program together. He isn't on my channel any more which is disappointing. But this program will sure help me get in shape. Really looking forward to it.
My de-cluttering is going as scheduled. I have cleaned out underneath my bathroom cabinets. And some shelves in my kitchen. Think I threw enough old medicine out for the whole town. Amazing what we waste. But it has felt good to get these things done. Next week will be the entryway closet. Going to take a bit of time to get it all done! Think I need to start taking before and after pictures though so I can be proud of my progress! 3 large trashbags of crap thrown out so far!!!
What thing do I regret and am able to forgive myself. See this one is harder for me then for other people I guess. I have a hard time forgiving myself for things that I regret. I would say the one thing I guess I could say is that I regret not quitting smoking earlier in my life. I spent a lot of time fighting this one but when I finally did it, it has been one of the best things ever. I guess I can forgive myself for being hard headed and thinking that I couldn't do with out smoking!
Another part of the challenge this weekend is to evaluate how we will feel getting to our goal weight. Well another hard one. I was 20 pounds lighter 2 years ago. Was so close to my goal I could taste it. But wasn't satisfied then. Now I would do anything to be back to where I was even though it wasn't what I thought was the right goal weight then. I still felt like a fat girl though. When I looked in the mirror I saw flaws. So I'm not sure if we don't work on what got us here and being happy with who we are, no matter what weight we are will satisfy us. We will look in the mirror and still see that fat kid. I though did feel good when I was at the lighter weight. I had more energy and doing things were more enjoyable. So as I progress through this never ending journey, I am trying to reevaluate me on the inside as well as me on the outside. Maybe a much harder journey!
Thanks for reading! Have an amazing day!!

I know that feeling! Feeling fat no matter my weight. Gah! This time, my goal is to deal with the dysmorphia and beat it. As for the smoking, quitting is the greatest thing ever! You did it. Kudos! How long has it been now? Over two years, right? You are spectacular!

Sounds like you are making great progrss on getting out from under the clutter. I was surprised at the number of things I came up with to forgive myself for, prior to the challenge I would have told you I didn't hold on to that sort of thing.

I know you can do it! And you are right... Sometimes no matter how much we accomplish we can only concentrate on how much farther we still have to go... And that is sad as there is so much enjoyment we are missing out on by not being more "in the moment".

The Archives Department of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts was established in 1991. As a repository for official Museum records, the Archives Department is responsible for registering all the works of art that come to the Museum for various reasons: as acquisitions, for temporary exhibitions, as loans to the permanent collection, and for study. The Archives Department also registers and co-ordinates the loan of works from the Museum's collection to other institutions, both in Canada and abroad.
Information on the works of art in the Museum's collection is available on the following databases: www.smq.qc.ca and www.pro.rcip-chin.gc.ca. Archives also houses a vast collection of scrapbooks containing press clippings and other documents related to the arts and the cultural life of the city, particularly the activities of the Art Association of Montreal between 1864 and 1948 (no information is available for the years 1869, 1871, 1873-1876). Thanks to a project with Concordia University (Canadian Women Artists History Initiative), these documents have been digitized and are now accessible here: http://cwahi.concordia.ca/fr/index.php.
The Archives Department is primarily responsible for establishing, enriching and maintaining records on works in the Museum's collection. A file is created for each work, which contains the result of curatorial research, related publications, a reproduction of the work, as well as administrative and other pertinent information. Archives also maintains a series of private holdings related to the history of the Museum and its collection. Thanks to a grant from the Government of Canada through Library and Archives Canada's National Archival Development Program, descriptions of the Museum's exhibition archives are available on the site of the Réseau de diffusion des archives du Québec: rdaq.qc.ca.
To facilitate research on works of art spoliated during World War II, the Museum maintains a register of all works with incomplete provenances for the years 1933 to 1945. Bronze sculptures cast in large unnumbered editions have been withdrawn from the list.
Archives does not evaluate artworks.
Office hours for the public
Tuesday and Wednesday only, from
9 a.m. to noon and 1.30 to 4 p.m.

Founded in 1882 and originally known as the "Reading Room" of the Art Association of Montreal, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts Library is the oldest art library in Canada. Over the years, its collection has grown through the generosity of its donors, judicious annual purchases and the establishment of an exchange programme with the world's major museums. Today, it is recognized as one of the most important art libraries in Canada.
The Museum Library has an imposing collection of works, primarily in the following fields: Mediterranean archaeology; world cultures (Asian, pre-Columbian, Islamic, African, Oceanic art, etc.); Western art; Quebec and Canadian art; international contemporary art; decorative arts and design; and graphic arts. The collection includes over 90,000 monographs, 68,000 auction catalogues (Sotheby's, Christie's, Hôtel Drouot, Hôtel des encans de Montréal, etc.), almost 20,000 files on Canadian artists, 930 serial publications (periodicals, annual reports and newsletters from various museums around the world, etc.), as well as videos, CD-ROMs and DVDs.
In 1993, the Library launched the automation of its card catalogue. To date, more than 60% of its holdings are now accessible to staff through the online catalogue.
