text: Funeral held for Gerry Anderson 24 Aug 2014 The funeral has taken place for the Northern Ireland broadcaster Gerry Anderson in his native city Londonderry, or "Stroke City" as he affectionately dubbed it. Share Share Share Story by UTV Staff, Belfast Mr Anderson passed away on Thursday at the age of 69 following a long illness.The award-winning presenter was best known for his BBC Radio Ulster mid-morning show and his wit and unique broadcasting style earned him a huge following of people of all ages and from all backgrounds.On Sunday mourners joined with Mr Anderson's family, his wife Christine, his two children and two grandchildren, to pay their respects.Many well-known faces from the world of broadcasting gathered at the packed out St Eugene's Cathedral in the city for the funeral mass.Father Paul Farren described Mr Anderson as a having a "unique talent" and being a man who could rename a city.He added: "We gather to give thanks to God for Gerry's life and for all the joy and gifts and entertainment that so many people received through Gerry, especially those into whose lives he brought light and joy when light could be dim and joy hard to find.The cleric revealed that, despite his very public persona, Mr Anderson was an "immensely private man"."In many ways everybody knows Gerry and, in other ways, only Christine and her family know Gerry."He is a man full of life, he is a man who died too soon."He is the man who could entertain the masses and the man who was never happier than when he was at home with just his family around him."Fr Farren said Mr Anderson was unaffected by his fame and was known for his "boundless generosity"."He is the man who could re-name a city and he is the man his family describes as being a simple man who enjoys simple things," he added.Mr Anderson's long-time radio side-kick Sean Coyle and his show's producer Mickey Bradly helped carry the coffin from the church to the city cemetery for burial.One former colleague of the Derry man said the airwaves would be a quieter place now he was gone.Beautiful service for Gerry Anderson today. Thoughts and love with his family.— Colin Murray (@ColinMurray) August 24, 2014Mr Anderson was forced off the airwaves almost two years ago due to ill health but, until relatively recently, had always expressed a desire to return.The former show band guitarist had a 30-year career in broadcasting.His professional highlights included his 2005 induction into the UK Radio Hall of Fame, while his brief and ill-fated spell on Radio 4 a decade earlier was undoubtedly a low.He also hosted a number of TV programmes on BBC Northern Ireland, but it was his contribution to Radio Ulster and Radio Foyle for which he will be most fondly remembered.His quirky and humorous morning phone-in show, which he presented with long-time friend and colleague Sean Coyle, had a legion of loyal fans.His widow Christine has said she has been "overwhelmed" by the tributes that have flooded in since her husband's death.Among those who extended condolences were Sir Terry Wogan and BBC director general Tony Hall.Mr Hall hailed the late presenter as a "distinctive and iconic voice". © UTV Share Share Share

Upgrade to 2.5 went ahead no problems, then when I test out my site I noticed that all my 'pages' were not found (e..g no post matched criteria) when I clicked on them.
I've confirmed that the content is still there; tried editing/saving the pages again to see if it would make a difference but it doesn't.
can someone please tell me how to get my pages displaying again in 2.5 please?
I've also noticed that 2.5 is MUCH SLOWER than the previous 2.3.3 version. It's taking ages to get anything to load.

Southern actress Asin Thottumkal describes Bollywood star Aamir Khan as an actor who believes in preparing for his scenes before facing the camera while she calls her "Ready" co-star Salman Khan as spontaneous.
"Salman is spontaneous. You have to be very alert while the camera is running because you don't know what he will come up with and what you will have to do as an appropriate thing. There is not much of a discussion before the shot. So you have to be ready with whatever he throws at you during the shot," Asin told IANS.
"Whereas Aamir is somebody who will sit with you and the director before the camera starts rolling. He discusses with you various ways of doing it (scenes) and finally decides on one. So here you are sure of what is going to happen in front of the camera," added the 25-year-old.
Salman is known as much for his notoriety in the Hindi film industry as his films, but Asin says she has not seen that side of him and that they gel well.
"I have never personally experienced anything wrong with Salman. Whatever I've come across is that he is somebody who is really pure from his heart, so whatever emotions come out, it's just that," said Asin who has now worked with Salman in two films – "London Dreams" and forthcoming release "Ready".
"He is direct and straight. He doesn't put on a face for different groups of people. When he is angry, he'll show that and when he is not, he'll show that too. So basically, I have not seen that very notorious side of Salman that the media keeps talking about," she added.
Talking about "Ready", which is releasing June 3, Asin said: "We started working on 'Ready' right after 'London Dreams'; so it's like back-to-back movies with Salman. The interaction I had with him during 'London Dreams' kind of helped me to have a comfortable relationship in 'Ready' because a rapport was already created."
"I think even he is quite comfortable working with me because somewhere I get his sense of humour. He has a very straight-faced sense of humour, so we pretty much gel well with each other on the sets," she added.
The camaraderie between Asin and Salman has been so strong that many started seeing them as a couple. However, the actress denies any romantic relationship with her co-star.
"Everyone knows that the rumours had no truth in them. These rumours started during 'London Dreams'. However, I want to maintain that I am quite single and not in a relationship and that's why I think rumours like these get accentuated more," explained the actress, who made her Bollywood debut opposite Aamir Khan in superhit film "Ghajini".
Finally, when asked how difficult it is for her to get noticed while appearing with a star like Salman in the same frame, the actress answered, "That's not in the hands of the actress.
"That would be in the hands of the scriptwriter or the director. We wouldn't have much of a say in it. You just do the part that has been given to you to the best of your ability and that's all. You don't really worry about a superstar like Salman, who obviously deserves the kind of adoration or space that he gets because he is who he is.
"You can't look up to that and say that I want to compete with him and nudge him and push him aside and show my face. I'm quite happy to be a part of this big project," said Asin.

Kapawi Lodge
Reflections: An Ecuadorian Journal
The lodge complex is gorgeous. There were only 4 other guests there with us. We were all housed in 3 lodges at the far end of the line of lodges. I felt like we had our own private piece of the rain forest. The lodges have thatched roofs and are round, sitting on poles over a lagoon. A lanai with lounge chairs faces the lagoon. When we returned each night the mosquito nets were pulled down around our beds. It was the rainy season but while we stayed at the lodge there was a break in the rain. It was not as humid as I expected, either. . . A note. . . alert your roommate not to leave a chocolate mint on your pillow. It will melt in the tropics!

concert houses/all age clubs being shut down in Spokane, WA
I've only been to a few big shows up here in Spokane because many of the bands play at bars or where you have to be 18 or 21 to get in. But, there is an all ages club called The Cretin Hop that was a perfect place for new bands to play and for kids to hang out. Until they had a private party and someone brought alcohol ( they don't have a liquor license). Now they have enforced a rule that you have to be 17 to get into the Cretin Hop without a parent. This is also becoming a rule for other all age places like The Blvd and The Empyrean. It's outrageous that we cant have one place where kids can go, listen to music, and hang out without our parents having to be there.

Eliminate wireless dead spots for Long Range Applications and strengthen unstable connections for digital streaming!
Hi-Gain™ Wireless-300N Range Extender Pro repeats wireless signals from any access point or router with a 2.4GHz 802.11b/g/n network. With a transmit power of up to 500mW and network speeds of up to 300mbps, the HWREN2 Pro, not only doubles your Wi-Fi network coverage, but its performance is three times stronger than any standard wireless repeater or extender on the market. It eliminates wireless deadspots and strengthens unstable connections for long range applications. With additional features like upgradable antennas, high power amplification, and hassle-free installation, the HWREN2 is an ideal solution to upgrade and improve your wireless experience.
Along with wireless connectivity, the HWREN2 has 5 wired 10/100Mbps Ethernet ports for connecting your computers that do not have wireless access. It also offers the latest wireless security features, ensuring that your files and network are safe from outside intruders. The external removable antennas allow quick and easy upgrades for more range demanding environments.
The HWREN2 Range Extender Pro combines a built-in Power Amplifier with removable external antennas to upgrade your overall wireless experience. The HWREN2 not only doubles the size of your Wi-Fi network, but also boosts performance up to three times stronger than the leading wireless repeaters/extenders on the market.
A common problem with standard wireless routers is that the quality of most standard wireless networks diminishes significantly past a coverage radius of 200 feet. Anywhere outside the coverage zone will have slow and unstable connections, or even as major as no connection at all. The HWREN2 Pro is designed to pick up an existing wireless signal from an access point or router, then repeat it, doubling the existing wireless coverage. The Built-in Range Amplifier Technology boosts the power strength and filters out the unwanted Wi-Fi interference. As a result, it provides a stronger and more solid wireless connection to improve overall performance, such as improving the data transfer speed and reducing lag while streaming or downloading multimedia content (video, music, etc.).
Place the HWREN2 within your existing network to expand the wireless coverage throughout your home and office. Eliminate slow network connections due to poor wireless coverage. Seamless roaming mirrors the existing network settings and allows your WiFi devices to connect and roam freely.
The HWREN2 is quick and easy to install using a Wi-Fi enabled device (i.e. tablet, smartphone, Mac or Windows computer). Hassle-free means, there is no Ethernet cable or CD required for the installation. Simply power up the unit, use a Wi-Fi enabled device, and log into the set up page. This installation feature lets you configure and set up the HWREN2 within minutes.
The HWREN2 Range Extender Pro doubles the wireless coverage radius and delivers unsurpassable signals to your Wi-Fi enabled devices. As a result, the HWREN2 reduces wireless dead spots and brings high definition content to you at blazing fast speeds.

Great Product

Stay Away from Hawking
This review is from: HAWKING HWREN2 Hi-Gain Wireless-300N Range Extender Pro
Pros: I gave this product a 1 because it did connect when I had it well into the normal range of the source router and it paired and mimicked it and extended the range a little further beyond just like a referbished $50 Linksys RE-1000 did during my first attempt to solve the problem at hand… But I paid $89 for this Hawking product.
Cons: I would warn people to stay away from both this product and the company. I've been working with computers since 1981 and have "lived in the industry." I benched this product when I got it and found it no better than a Linksys E-900 for signal reach or pull which makes no claim to being an extended product. I found the product to be worth nothing more than the cheaper competition and then was betrayed by their technical support that told me to keep it and try again with another set of antennas. (I originally paid $37 for what I thought was a set of their directional 12db gain antennas but it turned out to be just one for that price!). I trusted them and kept the product past the time I could exchange if for a full refund but had been told by one of their people that I could at least "exchange" the product for something I could use. There is even an "Exchange" on their RMA form but the RMA guys said that wasn't for anything different… So what is the difference from their "replacement" option that is there… NOTHING. Details…. I pared it in close proximity to the source router as instructed and tested its function. According to my wireless meter this was at about -50 dB. With the pair of High Gain antennas it took me down to about-40 dB of loss (their menu is by percentage of signal) so I saw that I had that advantage from the better antenna set. When I took it to where I had to have the extender to serve its purpose, I metered the signal from the source router at -85 so I knew my net for the Hawking was about -75 dB. It wouldn't even see the source router at this point let alone pass traffic. Well… is this too much for any router? No. My old XP HP laptop could connect from that spot to the source router and pass traffic and I could also communicate with the source router with an old Linksys Wireless G router using that same set of +9dB antennas. I simply asked them to exchange the $89 router for two of their $37 antennas so I could at least solve my problem and they refused.
Other Thoughts: There is no advantage to using their "super" products over Linksys stuff (even very old linksys stuff). They will play you on and then refuse to follow through on their commitments.

I remember back in the early 90s a friend of mine had a mountain bike with the Tracker logo on it
(Tracker makes skateboard trucks-very popular in the 80s)
I'm guessing that since Tracker makes skateboard trucks, they had someone else make the frame and put a Tracker logo on it.
Do you guys remember Tracker making a bike?
Did anyone own one?
Does anyone have a pic?
Any info on Mammoth Mountain Bikes?
For a while I thought it was an old Mammoth RC201 or Mammoth RC202.
Does anyone have pix or any info on Tracker mountain bikes or Mammoth Mountain bikes? RC201 or RC202?
Thanks guys

Sex Offender Sentenced to 15 Years in Prison for Distribution of Child Pornography
Mark Twain Heaton, III, a Previously Convicted Sex Offender, Repeatedly Distributed Child Pornography to Law Enforcement Across the Country
|U.S. Attorney's Office September 06, 2012
ATLANTA—A previously convicted sex offender who distributed graphic images of child pornography over the Internet was sentenced today by United States District Court Judge Willis B. Hunt, Jr. to 15 years in prison. Mark Twain Heaton, III, 40, of Roswell, Georgia, pleaded guilty to those charges on March 29, 2012.
"The distribution of images and videos portraying the sexual abuse of young children is a heinous crime," said United States Attorney Sally Quillian Yates. "The offense is made that much more egregious by the fact that the defendant has been convicted previously of a child molestation offense. We will continue to identify and prosecute the most serious offenders who victimize children."
Rick Maxwell, Acting Special Agent in Charge, FBI Atlanta Field Office, stated: "This defendant, being an aggressive distributor of child pornography and having a past record of such behavior, quickly became a priority for the FBI's Innocent Images Task Force investigators. Working with our established law enforcement partners, a strong criminal case was built against Mr. Heaton, resulting in today's lengthy sentence that will, thankfully, remove him as a threat to our community's children."
GBI Director Vernon M. Keenan said, "This proactive local, state, and federal probe represents law enforcement's resolve to seek out and identify those involved in distributing child porn over the Internet."
Heaton was sentenced to 15 years in prison, to be followed by 15 years of supervised release. There is no parole in the federal system. Heaton was convicted of the charge on March 29, 2012, upon his plea of guilty.
According to United States Attorney Yates and the information presented in court: During an undercover child pornography investigation in December 2011, an FBI special agent made contact with Heaton using a publicly available peer-to-peer network. During that session, Heaton made available to the FBI agent numerous images of child pornography, which the FBI agent downloaded to his computer. Between December 2011 and January 2012, several other undercover FBI agents around the country downloaded child pornography from Heaton. Similarly, a detective with the Liberty County, Georgia Sheriff's Office made contact with Heaton. During those contacts, Heaton again made available images of child pornography, which the detective was able to download. In a subsequent search of Heaton's home, law enforcement recovered Heaton's computer, which contained additional images of child pornography, including images of very young children being sexually assaulted.
This case was investigated by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and FBI's Safe Child Task Force, which includes the Roswell Police Department.
This case is being brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by the U.S. Attorneys' Offices, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who sexually exploit children and to identify and rescue victims.
Assistant United States Attorneys Laurel Boatright and Jill E. Steinberg prosecuted the case.

Hohum Sequels: Not generating much enthusiasm were "Hot Tub Time Machine 2" and "SpongeBob Squarepants" in 3D.
Oscar Talk: More promising was Paramount's potential awards contender, Christopher Nolan's "Interstellar" (November 7), which stars Oscar-winner Matthew McConaughey. (Later in the week, Nolan gave a keynote on the future of film that stressed his love for 35 mm.) And Jason Reitman's follow-up to "Labor Day" is "Men, Women & Children," starring Adam Sandler in more serious vein and Reitman regular Jennifer Garner.
Tentpoles: Studio Chairman Donna Langley debuted the first footage of "Fifty Shades of Grey," which she described as the "next iconic screen romance." The footage from the first installment of E.L. James' S & M trilogy included some kissing and an elevator scene between Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) and Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson)---nothing too scary for exhibitors, who tend to be a conservative middle-of-the-road group.
The studio is also teasing their "Jurassic Park" reboot and sequels "Dumb and Dumber To," which brings back Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels, "Despicable Me 3" and "Fast and Furious 7," starring the late Paul Walker alongside new villains Jason Statham and Kurt Russell.
Breakout: Universal screened in full for exhibs Nicholas Stoller's raucous R-rated comedy "Neighbors," which having seen I can say will be a huge hit. Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne are here to stay--and so is Zac Ephron (if he stops lurking around downtown Los Angeles in the middle of the night).
Lower-Budget: Universal showed a trailer starring Scarlett Johansson as yet another femme fatale in "Lucy," and promoed a Jason Blum low-budget thriller "The Purge: Anarchy" and "Ted" writer-director Seth MacFarlane's "A Million Ways to Die in the West," in which MacFarlane meets his match in gunslinger Charlize Theron.
Oscar Talk: White-clad director Angelina Jolie is bidding for awards with her sophomore directorial effort "Unbroken," the Louie Zamperini biopic due on Christmas Day.
Tentpoles: The studio screened 30 minutes of sequences from Marc Webb's "The Amazing Spider-Man 2," starring leads Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone and villains Jamie Foxx (Electro) and Dane De Haan (Green Goblin).
Comedies: The studio teased "Sex Tape," starring "Bad Teacher" duo Cameron Diaz and Jason Segal and "The Interview" with James Franco and Seth Rogen.
Musical: Will Gluck's latest movie version of the Broadway musical "Annie" stars Foxx, Rose Byrne and Quvenzhane Wallis.
Sequels: Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill are back in highly anticipated "22 Jump Street," and there's also "Think Like A Man Too."
Oscar Talk: Scott Rudin is producing the latest untitled Cameron Crowe film, which is set in Hawaii and stars Bradley Cooper, Emma Stone, Bill Murray and Alec Baldwin. And there's also David Ayer's World War II drama "Fury" (November 14) starring Brad Pitt, Shia LaBeouf, Logan Lerman, Jon Bernthal, Michael Peña, and Jason Isaacs.
Tentpoles: Disney touted Marvel's "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" and "Guardians of the Galaxy" but did not disclose details for Lucasfilm's "Star Wars" (December 15, 2015) except to say that the film set 30 years after "Episode 6" and starring three young actors starts shooting in May. Disney chairman Alan Horn admitted that Pixar won't open a feature in 2014, because animation czar John Lasseter wants to keep working on two for 2015, including Pete Docter's ambitious "Inside Out"--footage wowed the exhibs-- and "The Good Dinosaur."
Fairy Tale Movies: Angelina Jolie stars in production designer-turned-director Robert Stromberg's vsually sumptuous "Maleficent" (May 30), which has had reshoots, and Christmas brings Rob Marshall's big-budget Stephen Sondheim musical "Into the Woods," starring Meryl Streep. In 2015 comes Kenneth Branagh's live action "Cinderella," starring Lily James, Cate Blanchett and Richard Madden.
Oscar Talk: The studio screened the entire India-set sports drama "Million Dollar Arm" (May 16) written by Tom McCarthy and directed by Craig Gillespie, starring Jon Hamm as a down-on-his-luck agent looking to turn cricket players into baseball stars, which Horn said tested off the charts. The score is by "Slumdog Millionaire" star A.R. Rhaman.
Twentieth Century Fox
Tentpoles: Studio chairman Jim Gianopulos introed three would-be blockbusters: Bryan Singer's "X-Men: Days of Future Past," Matt Reeves' "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" and DreamWorks Animation's anticipated "How to Train Your Dragon 2."
The studio also gave a peek at Ridley Scott's "Exodus: Gods and Kings," starring Christian Bale as Moses, its latest Bible entry, as well as David Fincher's "Gone Girl," starring Ben Affleck, and Guillermo Del Toro's animated adventure "Book of Life."
Comedies: Jake Johnson and Damon Wayans Jr. star in Luke Greenfield's "Let's Be Cops" (August 13), and Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann topline Nick Cassavetes' revenge fantasy "The Other Woman."
Hohum Sequel: Ben Stiller is back in Shawn Levy's "Night at the Museum 3."
Breakout: Fox unveiled a scene from Matthew Vaughn spy thriller "Secret Service," starring Colin Firth and Samuel L. Jackson.
Oscar Talk: "Divergent" star Shailene Woodley is building buzz for her role in the film based on John Green's weepie "The Fault in Our Stars."
Warner Bros.
Tentpoles: For the first time new studio topper Kevin Tsujihara introduced the footage, including Gareth Edwards' mega-monster movie "Godzilla," starring Bryan Cranston. Peter Jackson provided a New Zealand video intro to the final installment of his second JRR Tolkien trilogy, "The Hobbit: There and Back Again." Johnny Depp and Morgan Freeman accompanied Christopher Nolan cinematographer-turned-director Wally Pfister's directorial debut, "Transcendence." Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt costar in Doug Liman's big-budget sci-fi war flick "Edge of Tomorrow." Channing Tatum and Mila Kunis star in the Wachowskis' bid for comeback, "Jupiter Ascending."
Comedies: Pregnant Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler cracked up the crowd for Frank "Wedding Singer" Coraci's comedy "Blended," while husband-and-wife writer team Ben Falcone and Melissa McCarthy did the same for R-rated "Tammy," which stars McCarthy and Susan Sarandon.
Disaster film: Steven Quale's "Into the Storm" may tap into weather anxiety.
Low Budget: The film adaptation of Gayle Forman's YA novel "If I Stay" stars Chloe Grace Moretz as a teen who must decide how to survive the deaths of her parents in a car crash.
Oscar Talk: Clint Eastwood introduced his Frankie Valli 60s movie musical "Jersey Boys" (June 20).
Popcorn Time
Meanwhile what the studios and exhibitors should be thinking about is what free streaming site Popcorn Time (which keeps shutting down) supplies via uninterrupted Torrent sharing: a sweet user interface and a well-organized searchable deep hi-res library of old and new titles easily loaded in less than 30 seconds (a much better sampling than Netflix), from current releases "Frozen" and "The Wolf of Wall Street" to the "Star Wars" and "Godfather" films (see demo below). This is the (illegal) fantasy site that audiences really want. The studios balk at even considering such a site because of the long-term billions still to be gained from the old windows model (thank you HBO) and fears of piracy. The NYTimes addresses this here. (Warner Bros. recognized the limitations of studio site UltraViolet when it tried to supply customers with "Veronica Mars" downloads.)
Consumers shouldn't have to navigate hideous passwords and multiple clicks to get to a movie--with Popcorn Time, two clicks and you're there. There's no longer any technological barrier to delivering streaming to consumers. The barrier is the studios' refusal to understand who their audience is. They are accustomed to dictating down to them with their mighty ad dollars--"you will buy this!" Well, they're already figuring out that they can no longer get away with shoving lousy product down moviegoers' throats. Hence tinkering, reshoots and redos are the order of the day on such films as "Where the Wild Things Are," "World War Z" and "47 Ronin."
As the studios and theater owners continue pursuing the popcorn-movie model--and yes, I believe people will continue going to movie houses for years to come-- they may also want to invest in growing their potential audience via an alternative streaming portal like Popcorn Time.

The Dollar Shakes, But will it Break?
The constructive outlook for the US dollar was predicated on two beliefs. First that growth and interest rate differentials favored the US over the euro area and Japan. Second that this would be the key driver in the foreign exchange market.
The nearly 3% contraction of the US economy in Q1 (at an annualized pace) is simply shocking. It has shaken the faith. The US 10-year bond yield fell back under the downtrend line drawn off the January and June highs.
This news was followed by disappointing consumption data (contraction in real terms for the second consecutive month in May). Some economists revised down their estimates for Q2 GDP and some even talked of the probability that with more than 2/3 of the economy contracting for 2/3 of the second quarter, the entire economy probably contracted.
The decline in the US 10-year yield did seem to be a critical factor behind the dollar's fall below its 200-day moving average against the yen on a weekly basis, for the first time in more than a year and a half, but monetary policy is still diverging. The BOJ is buying two times the amount of assets the Federal Reserve will until August when it will be buying nearly three times more. Moreover, the Japanese economy is about a third of the size of the US (on both nominal and PPP terms, according to IMF data).
Similarly, the ECB has just cut its deposit rate to zero and warned investors its balance sheet may expanded by as much as 400 bln euros by the of the year (assuming full take down of the TLTROs) The euro has shown itself to be fairly resilient and finished last week in the upper end of its recent trading range.
The euro is close its best level since Draghi announced the ECB's new initiatives (just shy of $1.3680). The 200-day moving average comes in near there and does the top of the Bollinger Band. The 5-day moving average is above the 20-day average. The RSI is neutral, though the MACDs have turned up. The record low volatility means that sustained upticks may still be hard to come by. The $1.3735 area may be the most that can be reasonably hoped for ahead of the ECB meeting and US jobs data (Thursday, July 3rd for each as the US Independence Day brings forward by a day the employment report). Above there, $1.3800 may prove formidable and, if it is approached, look for official rhetoric to be dialed back up.
Just as telling of the deterioration of the dollar's tone is the heaviness of the Dollar Index. Important technical support is seen between 79.70-80.00. A break of this would signal losses toward 79.00. The 200-day moving average, just below 80.30, offers initial resistance.
Although the Dollar Index is mostly the euro and currencies that move within its orbit, a little more than a fifth of is accounted for by the Japanese yen and Canadian dollar. They were two of the strongest major currencies last week, appreciating about 0.65% and 0.85% against the greenback respectively. Indeed, this quarter the Canadian dollar is the strongest, advancing 3.6% and the yen is in third place with a 1.8% gain (after sterling's 2.25% rise).
The technical indicators for dollar-yen, like the RSI and MACDs are not generating particularly strong signals, but the break of the 200-day moving average (~JPY101.70) is notable, and if it sustained in the coming days, more yen shorts might be forced to cover. The dollar also finished the week just below the lower Bollinger Band (~JPY101.44). While the JPY101.00 may offer some support, the May low was set closer to JPY100.80 and the year's low has, thus far, been set just below there in early February.
The Canadian dollar has been on a run since early June. On June 5, the US dollar was testing CAD1.0960, and it is now testing support near CAD1.0650. It is below its 200-day moving average for the first time since the Q3 13-Q1 13 period. The recent CPI and retail sales reports provided extra fundamental impetus behind the move that was already underway. The next level of support is seen near CAD1.06, which was a congestion area last December and into early January. The market is a bit over-extended, and that support area may not be easily violated on the first attempts.
Sterling is looking a bit tired, and BOE Governor Carney is giving investors indigestion. Still, investors believe that the BOE will be the first of the G7 to hike rates and the market still appears to be more inclined to buy dips. Initial support is seen in the $1.6950 area and then $1.6900-20. It may require a break of the $1.6850 area to spur talk of a top in the $1.7050-60 area.
The Australian dollar seems stuck around $0.9400. Support is seen in the band between $0.9350 and $0.9370. The RBA can be expected to try some more jawboning at the policy meeting next week, but clearly it has marginal impact at best. On the other hand, weak retail sales data may provide fodder for those who are not convinced that Australia will make the transition away from mining very smoothly, especially, with the tightening of fiscal policy.
The Mexican peso is particularly interesting from a technical point of view. The dollar appears to have carved out a head and shoulders pattern this month, and it finished last week at the neckline (~MXN12.9660). The head was formed by the spike to MXN13.12 on June 17-18. A convincing break of the MXN12.96 area would project dollar losses back toward MXN12.80.
Ahead of expectations for another 200k rise in non-farm payrolls, it may be difficult to justify a move below the 2.50% level in the 10-year US Treasury. Some consolidation is likely ahead of the report, with the downtrend line capping the upticks in the 2.56%-2.58% area.
Observations from the speculative positioning in the futures market:
1. Position adjustment in the reporting period ending June 24 were mostly minor. Only the gross short Canadian dollar positions were adjusted by more than 10k contacts and just barely at that. Some 10.2k short contracts were bought back, leaving a still substantial 45.9k contracts. At the same time, gross longs rose by 6k contracts to 40.6k, which is the largest of the year. The gross short position of 5.3k contracts ist the smallest since last October.
2. The net long Swiss franc position swung back to the short side (5.4k contracts). This was a reflection of 6.2k contract reduction of gross long positions to 9.1k contracts, and the addition of 2.7k short contracts to 14.4k.
3. The euro, Australian dollar and Canadian dollar futures saw a similar pattern of speculators adding to longs and reducing shorts. The yen and peso saw both long and shorts reduced. Sterling and the franc saw longs cut and shorts grown.
4. The net short speculative position in the 10-year Treasury futures fell to 27.3k contracts from 85.8k in the previous week. The longs were feeling their oats and this was before the GDP shocker. They added 37k contracts to 402.7k. The shorts may have gotten nervous and cut 21.5k contracts (to 430k).

Will it break? He dunno.
Banksters have their war so they're happy. Hide your kids and grandkids. All war everywhere all the time from now on?
The games central bankers are playing in supporting their and other currencies has reached a dangerous level, we may be in the "red zone". Currencies are important chips in the commerce of government and the business of running a country.
History has shown that in the past both leaders and governments have fallen with the demise of their coin. If people lose faith in the system it could just come crashing down around our ears. At a time when billions of dollars can be traded in just the blink of an eye imagine how fast things could go to hell. More on this subject in the article below.
Bottom line?
The dollar is toast, burnt toast.
And so are we.
I've got LOTS of silver jelly for that burnt toast!
Grats Mich, but not to get morbid do you have LOTS of guns and LOTS of ammo for those guns?
Not alot by hopefully enough. (3) 9 MM'S AND 2,000 ROUNDS OF AMMO.
Besides I can always call the police. LOL
It is a mathematical certainty that all Ponzi schemes end.
It is a mathematical uncertainty as to the timing.
Within the last 5000 years the historical average lifespan of a fiat currency is around 27 years.
You do the math.
We are all interconnected for better or worse. A bad apple can spoil the whole basket. Welcome to the world our leaders have designed or allowed to form. Whether by design or merely as a byproduct of globalization we have weaved a web of financial transactions that circle the globe. Over the last several years as money was printed by the central Banks it was not contained in the countries where in was printed.
This money flowed across borders influencing and distorting markets and prices across the world. Some people have been calling for a "world currency" for years. the saying "one should never let a good crisis go to waste" means that a meltdown with high levels of fear would present a perfect opportunity and catalyst to advance this agenda down the field. Remember many people with agendas have a lot to gain when a major shift in the currency markets takes place. More on this subject in the article below.
Yeah , Bitcoin.
The Global Criminal Religious Oligarch Cabal Bankster Intelligence Crime Syndicate will continue to Print for ever how long it takes to keep the illusion to the Sheeple that all is fine.
never thought i'd say this but "that cheap dollar is a war crime." That puts a bid in every asset class imaginable.
If it's American.
Equities, treasuries, real estate...incredibly the Government keeps offering taz breaks to people who not only don't hire but in fact outsource!
"Apparently that dollar is still not worthless enough."!!!
Joking aside...the taper is for real...you short even the dollar at your own risk too. The only program left from the Plunge Protection Team days is HAMP...which has been a catastrophic failure.
Ironic because the other ones worked pretty darn well by and large.
The fat lady just finished here second aria.
If the dollar goes, they all go.
And one day soon it will, whether it's due to a natural disaster or HAARP, massive false flag or genuine terrorist attack, or the bursting of one aspect of the tri-fecta Fed bubble-fuck (US equities, US bonds, and the dollar itself).
And if the dollar goes first, the chaos will be incomprehensible.
Considering the motto, "order out of chaos"...well, you do the math.
No, they don't all go. The yuan and ruble will survive, and the yuan is on track to become the reserve currency.
Sure there will be havoc, but some will come through it all on top.
International trade will be crushed, but it will rebound and continue.
There is a limit to the size of an empire without cheap oil fueling it. You can only control what you can patrol. I don't give a fuck if there is a massive NWO conspiracy or not because the days of cheap oil are behind us. Physics trumps finance every single time they are brought into conflict.
Do developments in natural gas, hydrogen, electric, thorium generation, or solar power factor into your thesis?
Liquid fuels are what we need. Natural gas is a limited resource and has storage issues when it comes to using it to transport things long distances. Hydrogen has storage issues. Electricity does not lend itself to extended mobility and electric cars and trucks will not scale up to meet the worlds needs even if it did. Thorium could work for electricity generation and even manufacturing liquid fuels, but we should have developed that technology a decade or three ago and have already been putting the infrastructure in place. It is too late for it to save our current incarnation of civilization, plus I don't see it working for 7 billion people. Thinking of solar as anything but supplemental is a pipe dream. All "renewables" are only as renewable as the equipment used to harvest them.
Just remember, the ability to pull up to a pump and pump 20 gallons of liquid fuel in 5 minutes is what has given us unprecedented mobility. Fuels in gas (H2 and CH4 primarily) form will either give you limited range, or limited efficiency due to how they are stored. Using electricity means limited places you can go, such as electric trains, or limited range and limited scalability. There aren't that many lithium sources on this planet, and the most dense storage technology for electricity requires lithium. And it sucks when put next to gasoline or diesel.
You are not going to support the large metropolises of today without the unprecedented mobility that we have had in recent history. Food and clothing must be transported long distances and to specific locations to support NYC. Given our current levels of technology, that requires liquid fuels.
Then what we need is a salt water fueled machine. With all that ocean water, full of salt and potential, a wizard should be able to convert Salt Water to fuel.
(sôlt)1. Any of a large class of chemical compounds formed when a positively charged ion (a cation) bonds with a negatively charged ion (an anion), as when a halogen bonds with a metal. Salts are water soluble; when dissolved, the ions are freed from each other, and the electrical conductivity of the water is increased. See more at complex saltdouble saltsimple salt
Salt water for fuel is a pipe dream without another massive source of energy to convert it into fuel. Energy is the ability to do work, and work is force times distance. Energy gets shit done, and it can neither be created or destroyed. It can, however, be wasted or locked up in a form that we cannot use. If this were a simple problem, it would have been solved already.
I respectfully disagree. The strategic oil reserves have not been opened for years, and how much do they actually have stored (withOUR tax dollars)? I suggest the cost of oil times does not reflect the availability of it because we have become a fascist state, and most western based central banking play along. They are gearing us up for shearing. Much easier to control and use resources on a fraction of the pop and still keep your wealth and control.
The strategic petrolium reserves only store 727 million barrels. We use 18 or 19 million barrels per DAY. In other words, about enough for a month and a half. And oil is getting more expensive, not because of fascism, but because of geology. We used to drill a well a couple hundred feet, and oil would come gushing out of the ground. Now we have giant floating rigs to get at the oil under the ocean and wells that are drilled not just down, but also horizontally for many thousands of feet at a high cost. There is no comparison. According to Steven Kopits, oil actually needs to cost more to justify our current extraction rates. Oil companies are selling off equipment to pay shareholders. You may find a few small pockets of cheap oil here and there, but for running entire national economies, cheap oil is gone.
Absolutely correct, El Vaquero. The Strategic Petroleum Reserve plays abolutely no part in the price of oil within the world market considering the world consumes around 85+ million barrels of oil per day. It's a nice "buffer" to create the political sense that the government has the ability to influence and control the price of oil. The simple way to look at all of this, in terms of when the dollar will break and it will break, is to understand the concept of Energy Returned on Energy Invested (EROEI). In the good old days of cheap oil, a company would slam in a vertical pipe and get 100 barrels out for every 1 barrel of consumed oil energy (EROEI Ratio of 100:1). Over 80 years later, we are averaging to get about 15 to 10 barrels of oil for every 1 barrel of oil (EROEI 15-10:1). There is a limited amount of oil in a finite world with an ever increasing population wanting a higher and more intensive food source. Technology for squeezing a higher level of work out of each unit of energy certainly will help this situation, but most likely not in time. Developed nations have a minimum level of of EROEI in order to sustain that particular system, which is conjectured to be at least a ratio of 6:1. The dollar hegemony breaks when the others finally realize that it's back to basics regarding controlling resources for the complete benefit of that particular country. China and Russia seem to be well on the way of moving their "monetary" and "other" assets towards exactly that aim. The U.S. not so much. This information coupled with the 4th Turning, the rise of fascism, the positioning of electronic money, the obliterating of the middle class.... tells a grim story of the dollar losing sway no later than 2025. Whether with a whimper or a bang, that's a different question.
Interesting post, SirIssac and I agree with most of what you said. However, the Athabasca Oil sands have been estimated at over 1 trillion barrels.
They are starting to use in situ production with Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (which are two horizontal wells, the upper heats the bitumen which is then extracted from the lower).
The energy required to heat is currently nat gas, but will eventually be converted to use gasified bitumen at a 6:1 ratio (so they say).
See the Wiki.
The Canadian Tar Oil Sands do represent a significant reserve. Though, at the world's current rate of oil consumption—32.2 billion barrels per year, Canada's tar sands oil reserves remain at a finite 168.6 billion barrels, enough to keep the world fueled for less than six years. With them ramping up production from 1.7 million barrels to their eventual target of 5 million barrels per day, only 8% of that represents surface mining with the rest of the reserves being an intensive below ground extraction process as you described above. This below ground operation has an EROEI of 4-3:1. We are having to go after lower quality hydrocarbons to replace the cheaper oil at an ever increasing cost. It will certainly be profitable for those companies, but the cost to continue to extract those "units" of energy will continue to escalate. If you haven't ever had a chance to listen to Prof. Bartlett's lecture about the terminal velocity of resources, you should check it out on youtube. It's eight parts and may be a little dry, but great information sometimes takes great fortitude to acquire. <Lecture>
The next great run will be over all the hydrocarbons trapped in the melting Artic cap. :-) Good times ahead.
Sure, those other countries are moving back to gold, but, IMO, gold and/or silver standards only act as a bulwark against the requirement of sustained growth, and then only before we've reached overshoot. IMO, we've reached overshoot, and while they may be moving to gold, they're not doing anything meaningful that will get them off of oil, but they depend on it for things such as food, just like we do. When the dollar breaks, hope that your local region has enough oil and equipment to extract and refine it to last for two years while everybody readjusts. While things may and probably will wind down slower than a month or two when the next crisis hits, don't bet your life on it.
Simpy dust off all those shut down coal plants and open 'm up. Plenty of coal energy left.
Agreed. However, the Elite have been reckless as of late with their "Hidden Knowledge."
The sooner the better...
I have an itch that wants me to scratch it on a island somewhere in the pacific... Watching the ICBM's pass overhead...

The name of the house, now, I think is associated with the sort of graying old old age, or perhaps the fading of something once bright and lovely (a sort of candle being snuffed). However, the actual name for the estate came from its former owner, Anita Hill, the author of Forty Years of Gardening. She wrote that the estate was "truly a gray garden. The soft gray of the dunes, cement walls and sea mists gave us our color scheme as well as our name." She allowed only pale flowers on the ground, which added to its ghostly quality.
And so Edie stayed there, for a long time. The rooms became filthy. Animals began defecating behind antiques. Big Edie began to take in dozens of cats and raccoons as pets. They stopped going out and began having groceries – like canned liver pate – delivered, whcih they fed to the animals as well as themselves.
Little Edie seemed to revert to an almost infantile state. She later told Gail Sheehy while walking on the beach near Grey Gardens:
"Mother never allows me to show myself on the beach after summer, but `this fall I had to come out…Shall I tell you what I've done for twenty years? Fed cats. Mother wouldn't let me go around with American men, they were too rich and fast. She was afraid I'd get married. Nothing has happened in twenty years, so I haven't changed in any way."
I know that we all grew up watching One True Thing but, I will say, be really careful about moving home to take care of your mother. Especially if your mother is going to live for a few decades.

A leading advocate of women and minorities in engineering, science and mathematics careers spoke recently at Microsoft Research Asia in Beijing, as part of the lab's continuing Science & Humanities Speaker Series.
Maria M. Klawe, president of Harvey Mudd College in Claremont, Calif. and a renowned computer scientist and researcher, told an audience of 200 researchers and interns that computer gaming, if directed with women's interests in mind, will attract young women to computer science and engineering in greater numbers.
"Women-in particular young women-should matter to game developers," the educator said of the field that has long been dominated by men. "It just makes sense for an industry that has seen saturation among male players to include women as a prospective market."
Dr. Klawe recalled a conversation she had with an executive at a leading game manufacturer a few years ago. "He told me, 'Girls will never spend money on computer or video games. We just don't care about them.'"
"Things are now different," Dr. Klawe said to laughter. "Now, Microsoft and other companies are considering games that appeal to 55-year-old women like me."
In fact, she confessed, she has long been a computer games aficionado.The mother of two said that when her own son was an adolescent, she would promise to play computer games he loved as a way to just get him to chat, much less study. He later earned an M.Sc. in computer science at Princeton and is a computer graphics researcher.
"We thought he was an extraordinarily lazy kid," she joked. "He now works 14 hours a day, seven days a week."
Can computer games really be produced that will be motivational to young women and girls, Dr. Klawe asked. "The answer is yes, but it depends on making the games attractive and appealing to (women's and girl's) interests."
In point of fact, research conducted by Dr. Klawe's teams found that girls and young women spend less time playing computer and video games than boys and young men. "That's no surprise since men design games that interest men," Dr. Klawe said.
Other factors are also at play. Girls approach games with a different psychology and immerse themselves far less in "game culture" than boys with the gaming bug, she said.
By use of iterative designs of game prototypes, longitudinal classroom studies, tightly focused short-term studies, along with detailed log files, observations, video, interviews, tests and questionnaires, over seven years Dr. Klawe and researchers were able to follow several hundred children, boys and girls from the ages of eight to 13, and view the children's approach to games.
"Each year, during the first three weeks of the study, the boys were much more aggressive at taking over control of the games and computers," Dr. Klawe said to laughter from the Microsoft Research Asia audience, largely comprised of young men.
Boys also dominated discussions and seemed to progress through the games more quickly. But when teachers intervened with discussion groups segregated by gender, and allowed one day per week for boys alone and girls alone to play the games, "we quickly saw much more engagement by girls in both play and discussions," Dr. Klawe indicated.
"While the boys tended to make faster progress going through the games, there was no difference at all in the learning gains made. Girls did just as well as boys. We found that boys love to race to a new level in the game or to win. But what matters more to girls is savoring the experience, and using the computer for doing something useful."
Game makers who want to attract women or girls as a market will have to learn something from the film industry, and choose to tailor products that include more complex story lines and appealing characters, she said. "If every movie made was about war, sports, wrestling, or car racing, would women go to see them? Of course not."
Dr. Klawe's presentation, entitled "Gender, Games and Does it Matter?" was well received, said lab Assistant Managing Director Hsiao-Wuen Hon. "She has great insights and shared great information with us. Dr. Klawe is an inspiration to everyone here, especially our women researchers and young women interns."
Dr. Klawe's journey to Harvey Mudd as its first woman president is part of a trend at the college, where the percentage of women students and faculty has grown at rates far greater than most schools across the nation. Since 1990, the number of women studying at Mudd has increased from 20 percent to 33 percent. And, the percentage of women on the faculty has grown from 17 percent in 1995 to 35 percent.
She earned a B.Sc. degree and doctorate in mathematics at the University of Alberta, Canada, and held academic positions at the University of British Columbia (UBC), the University of Toronto and Oakland University. She spent eight years at IBM's Almaden Research Center in California, first as a research scientist, and then as manager at group and department levels.
In 2002, she organized the Aphasia Project at UBC, bringing together faculty from human-computer interaction, psychology, and audiology and speech sciences, to provide tools for people with aphasia (loss or partial loss of language function most commonly caused by stroke). The project has explored handheld devices to improve quality of life and independence for scores of victims of the disease.
In addition to offices held at major computing organizations, Dr. Klawe is chair of the board for the Anita Borg Institute for Women and Technology in Palo Alto. She has worked as a trustee for the Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics at UCLA, the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in Berkeley, and the American Mathematical Society.
For her advancements in her field, Dr. Klawe has been awarded honorary doctorates from the University of Alberta, Acadia University, Dalhousie University, Queen's University, the University of Waterloo and Ryerson University.
Dr. Klawe is married to Nicholas Pippenger, a professor of computer science and mathematics at Princeton, who joined Harvey Mudd's faculty last year. They have two children, Janek and Sasha.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Starting Tuesday, newborn babies in Tennessee will be screened for congenital heart defects with a device called a pulse oximeter (ahk-SIM'-i-ter).
Although few newborns in Tennessee have heart defects, they can be fatal if not treated.
Dr. Stuart Shapira is a pediatrician at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. She told WPLN-FM (http://bit.ly/VifzBu) the pulse oximeter is a painless way to measure the amount of oxygen in a baby's blood.
Tennessee's new law mandating the test is based on recommendations from federal health officials and the American Academy of Pediatrics.
Many Tennessee hospitals already perform the test, but until now it has not been required.

Young Island Girls
This site is closed.
This site is closed.
Island girl won't you show me the way? While there are multiple ways to interpret this phrase, when compared with the site Young Island Girls, one begins to assume that it is more about fulfilling one's sexual cravings than anything else. While the site claims to update at least once a week, the archive of updates suggests otherwise since many of the 'updates' are just content additions to the bonus material.
Although they may have slightly redesigned YoungIslandGirls, the site still doesn't look that great. For example, the images in the banner are of rather poor quality, which fails to reflect the content on the site. Navigation has improved slightly, but it still has a long ways to go. There was still a 'join' button even once I had signed into the site and I had to keep going back to the home page to orient myself as I often couldn't tell where I was within the context of the site.
In terms of videos, the content quality is extremely variable. To date, you will have access to 43 movies most of which are offered in average Windows Media and mediocre RealPlayer format. However, the newer ones are presented in excellent-looking MPEG files, and these are the ones most recommended.
For those who like to take their porn elsewhere, you can using the new mediocre iPod compatible files. At least, they are slightly better than the other ones. Content includes interracial sexual playing, sucking, caressing, dancing, masturbating, stripping, posing and a hot gal-on-gal footjob.
While the videos are not always reliable and are often blurry, the 103 high-res galleries offer something a little more for their viewers. Although there is some variability here as well, most of them are good to superb-looking. Content includes solo girl masturbating, posing and stripping as well as some hardcore partying scenes with chicks drinking or using their bodies for some sexy tequila body shots.
While I did come across a couple white/non-island looking chicks, for the most part the site does live up to its name. Dark and light-skinned island beauties from places like Martinique, St Maartens and the Caribbean.
When it comes to bonus content, this site does not steer you wrong either. To date, they offer non-theme related POTDs at Tart Magazine, Latina webcams and streaming videos among other options. There is also a blog, which gives a good run down of many of the best destinations for nude or semi-nude beaches. Plan your vacation early! Recently, they added 100s of streaming videos with the eight streaming feed sites, but we still wish there were some full access sites. Finally, there is a 45-minute video available in a series of clips under the heading, 'bonus - the island.'
Although most of the pictures are pretty hot, the movies and site design still need work. However, they do seem to be updating a couple times per week which is good to see. Content is mostly nonexclusive, but it isn't the kind of stuff that you will find on every other site out there either. Nevertheless, if you are into sexy Latina and ebony women and want to see some examples of what you can expect on your next vacation, then Young Island Girls may be worth it!
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

Human Nature Tickets Las Vegas
Venue: Venetian
Human Nature the pop vocal group is one of Australia's most successful all male bands. The band was formed in 1989 while the members were all at school together and has gone on to score 17 Top-40 hits and five Top-10 hits with 1.6 million in record sales.
Sony Music leaped in and signed the performers after hearing an a capella version of "People Get Ready". At that point in their careers, they decided to change their name to its current form and have not looked back since.
Their success has mainly been within their homeland, but they have also enjoyed some success in Oceania and the United Kingdom. During their many years together, several of their albums have gone multi-platinum and today they are recognized as an iconic Australian group
The band is made up of Andrew and Michael Tierney, Phil Burton and Toby Allen. They formed in high school to enter a regional schools' concert with the name The 4 Trax. After that they began to busk in Sydney and then began working in local clubs. When they began to enjoy a real club following and won some entertainment awards, they began sending off demo tapes to record labels.
Their first album "Telling Everybody" was released at the end of 1996 and went triple-platinum. Since then they have released "Counting Down" in 1998, a self-titled album in 2000, "Here and Now: The Best of Human Nature" in 2001 and "Walk The Tightrope" in 2004. They have also released three Motown albums and as well as performing in Australian musical theater have had long stints performing in Atlantic City and Las Vegas.
Human Nature the pop vocal group has enjoyed a long and fruitful career that has included a range of opportunities from collaborations with some of the world's best musicians and icons to memorable performances at the opening of the Sydney Olympics in 2000. They remain one of Australia's most talented and best loved vocal groups.

KLSS Juniors player Mohd Syahir Shah Busnaning (right) dribbles past Permatang Juniors player Mohd Fitri Afzan Mohd Zaba in their MJHL Division Two match at the KL Hockey Stadium on Sunday.
KUALA LUMPUR: Last season's runners-up Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) played badly but still bagged all three points to get their Division One challenge in the MHC-Milo-NSC Malaysia Junior Hockey League off to a winning start.
Although woeful with their finishing, MBPJ managed to edge Anderson-Perak SEDC 2-1 at the Education Ministry Pitch in Jalan Pantai on Sunday.
Anderson, however, deserve credit for showing more resilience, despite playing their second match in 24 hours. They were held to a 1-1 draw by Malacca High School on Saturday.
MBPJ opened the scoring in the 19th minute through a well-worked field goal, with Abdul Halim Jalil finishing off the move. Mohd Helmi Jaafar then converted a penalty stroke in the 58th minute to give the MBPJ a 2-0 lead.
Anderson reduced the deficit through Syamsul Azraf Shahnun Zubir in the 67th minute with a field attempt but it was too late to spark a comeback.
MBPJ coach coach Azlan Saufi Ahmad Sufian was happy to collect full points despite their poor display.
"It was a poor performance ... but what matters are the three points. It was our first match and we were a bit rusty," he said.
"We were also lucky as Anderson finished the game stronger."
Anderson coach Mohamed Nizam, meanwhile, said that it was back to the drawing board for them.
"It was generally a poor performance although we wanted to win badly," he said.
"We started slowly and paid the price. Our next two matches are at home and we need to get back to winning ways."
In Division Two, Nur Insafi took charge of Group A after beating PH Kota Star 4-1 at the Sungai Petani Hockey Stadium on Sunday.
It was Nur Insafi's second win in the group and puts them at the top of the standings with six points.
Nur Rahul Hrsikesa bagged a hat-trick (8th, 21st, 42nd) while Aidil Zafri Mohd Zahid (10th) got the other for Nur Insafi.
Mohd Syazani Mohd Shauqi scored the Kota Star team's consolation goal in the 64th minute.
In a Division Two Group B match at the KL Hockey Stadium, KL Sports School Juniors-MSSWP bounced back from an opening day mauling by Olak to thrash Permatang Juniors 5-1.
KLSS Juniors, who lost 6-0 on Friday, opened accounts through Mohd Azreen Mustama. Permatang Juniors hit back at the stroke of half-time through Mirza Aizat Mohd Yusof.
The KL side then turned on the power in the second half to net four goals through Nur Najibullah Ramlee (43rd), Fadhzil Ashraf Zakaria (46th), Alif Haikal Norizan (57th) and Khuzairi Aiman Zuhairy (67th).

As if a diagnosis of multiple myeloma weren't distressing enough, Beth Morgan soon found her medical bills piling up because of the extraordinarily high cost of her treatment — despite what she describes as "excellent" health insurance coverage.
Since her diagnosis in 2001, the 47-year-old Internet services provider from Southern Pines, N.C., has seen her yearly out-of-pocket costs rise to about $7,000 for expensive medication, frequent specialist visits, and hospitalization. "You don't realize how those prescription and office visit co-pays add up," Morgan says. "It's really like I took a huge pay cut. I'm in huge debt."
How Much Does Treating Multiple Myeloma Cost?
Multiple myeloma is particularly expensive to treat, primarily because of medications bortezomib (Velcade) or lenalidomide (Revlimid), which have list prices that run upward of $5,000 a month. Stem cell transplants, which increasingly are becoming the standard of care for some patients also add to the cost, as does traveling to specialized medical centers.
The disease most frequently strikes people age 65 and older, leading to often-severe financial consequences for seniors on fixed incomes and their caregivers. Seniors on Medicare receive prescription drug coverage, but a gap in that coverage (known as the "doughnut hole") can cost them thousands of dollars a year. The uninsured face even greater challenges in paying for treatment.
Paul Hewitt, a cancer information specialist with the International Myeloma Foundation based in North Hollywood, Calif., has heard heart-breaking tales from multiple myeloma patients who worry about heating their homes for the winter or even facing bankruptcy. Fortunately, he says, there are numerous ways for patients to obtain financial help for medication and other treatment expenses.
Financial Assistance for Multiple Myeloma
- Celgene Corporation, which makes lenalidomide (Revlimid) and thalidomide (Thalomid), two key drugs in treating multiple myeloma, offers financial assistance for both medications to eligible patients.
- International Myeloma Foundation offers information about financial aid for medication, travel, and other treatment expenses.
- The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Patient Aid Program offers up to $500 yearly for patients in financial distress to help pay for treatment-related costs.
- Millennium: The Takeda Oncology Company offers financial help for bortezomib (Velcade), a leading injected multiple myeloma drug.
- The Partnership for Prescription Assistance offers one-stop shopping for more than 475 patient assistance programs, including those for the uninsured and those operated by pharmaceutical companies.
- The Patient Access Network offers up to $6,500 annually for multiple myeloma patients who are insured but whose income falls under a certain threshold.
Tips for Reducing Multiple Myeloma Expenses
- Find a social worker or patient advocate to help navigate the insurance maze and access available financial assistance programs. "It's very hard to try to do it on your own," says Barbara Savage, a social worker with the Cleveland Clinic's multiple myeloma program. "There's so much information out there."
- Avoid charging medical expenses on your credit card. Hospitals and doctors offer better payment terms, including zero-percent financing and flexible repayment plans, Morgan says.
- Be proactive. In addition to seeking financial help for drug co-payments, seek out low-cost generics for common medication prescribed to multiple myeloma patients, such as painkillers and antibiotics, says Savage, who points to $4 prescriptions from Costco as an example.
- Find a buddy. Morgan drove to some doctors' appointments and patient conferences with another multiple myeloma patient, saving considerable money on gas.
- Consider a clinical trial — which may provide free medication. The National Institutes of Health provide information about trials sorted by disease, medication, location, and other search criteria.

It seems that I am always fighting with UIAlertView to make it do what I want. I'm done fighting - are there any robust UIAlertView replacements with the following features, or will I need to write my own?:
- ability to customize the alert-view size/position
- ability to change the layout of the buttons (stacked vs. side-by-side)
- ability to prompt users for input via UITextField or UITextView
- resizing / repositioning behavior when the keyboard appears
- ability to have a UITextView for scrolling text
- pixel-perfect copy of UIAlertView for basic display
- ideally interface compatible with UIAlertView - i.e. it is a drop-in-replacement.
I've found a few blog and stackoverflow posts which implement customizations on a UIAlertView - this is NOT what I want. Nor do I want a guide on how to implement a custom AlertView -- I know how, I just want to find one that is already community maintained. I want a ground-up replacement that is safe for App Store submission and future-proof against UIAlertView changes (yes, I've been burnt...)
Please respond with comments if you have suggestions for other desirable features.

Hollywood Hills News
HOLLYWOOD—If there was one monument that could symbolize the whole of Hollywood city, what would it be? Would it be the stars lining the sidewalks of cherished actors, directors, and filmmakers? Or would it be the nine white letters up on the hilltop overlooking the residents below?
Tuesday began a new facelift for the iconic Hollywood sign. Our beloved reminder to continue to pursue our dreams and experience the magic of the great city is now undergoing a 10-week repainting in preparation for its ninetieth anniversary next year.
The project will consist of stripping the sign to its sheet metal, priming it with 110 gallons of primer, and giving it a new splash of white paint using 275 gallons of it.
It's last replacement was 35 years ago in 1978, when each letter was purchased at $28,000 each by celebrities in a fundraiser hosted by Hugh Hefner. The sign was originally "Hollywoodland" until 1949 when the city decided it would simply be "Hollywood." The nine 45ft high letters are an iconic piece of Californian history that will continue to be cherished and maintained.

Although two 7-inch Android tablets, the Nexus 7 (made by Asus for Google), and the Kindle Fire 2, still only rumored, are reportedly coming very soon, Apple is preparing to steal their sub-10-inch tablet thunder. Bloomberg is reporting about something we've been discussing here for months: a 7.85-inch iPad mini (1, 2, 3).
Reports have been floating about an iPad mini for months, but the rumor has been around since the first iPad, after users complained about the "heft" of the device. However, at the time, then Apple CEO Steve Jobs had made his famous "tablets with a screen smaller than 10-inches in size are DOA" speech (paraphrased).
The report seems to confirm much of the information in earlier rumors: a screen that is 7 inches to 8 inches diagonally and a possible launch announcement by October, with a non-retina display. The sources (of course) requested anonymity in the matter.
Shrinking the iPad would undercut the main idea behind Android tablets with smaller screens: price. Although it's possible that the iPad mini could still be priced higher than competing 7-inch Android tablets, the iPad's dominance among tablets and the so-called "halo effect" could mean that those lower prices won't resonate with consumers.
Shaw Wu, an analyst at Sterne Agee & Leach Inc said, "It would be the competitors' worst nightmare. The ball is in Apple's court," adding that "This isn't like the old days, when it cost thousands of dollars more to buy an Apple product. Fifty or a hundred bucks wouldn't be enough to make someone switch [from an iPad to a competing device]."
Microsoft's newly announced Surface tablets may be less affected by the iPad mini than the Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire 2 (or other Android tablets). The Surface tablets - at least the Windows 8 Pro version) - would be most attractive to consumers looking for a full Windows experience in a tablet. The Windows RT versions, which won't run existing Windows software ... we'll have to wait and see.
