I recently had the pleasure of re-watching the Indiana Jones series recently. It's been years since I've seen them all in continuity. Raiders of the Lost Ark still stands out as the best of the films, perhaps to be mentioned among the best movies of all time. It is short and economic, perfectly paced and elegantly directed by Steven Spielberg. As we all know, Raiders was followed by three sequels, titled respectively The Temple of Doom, The Last Crusade, and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
I am not an Indy-hater in any sense of the word. I have always enjoyed the sequels. When Kingdom of the Crystal Skull came out in 2008 met with mixed reviews from critics and boos from fans, I was mystified as to what they could possibly dislike about it. Come on! Surviving a nuclear blast in a refrigerator is far more plausible than surviving the Wrath of God TWICE! Crystal Skull is widely considered the weakest of the series, but I'm sure we all remember that before that this dubious honor seemed always to fall to the second movie, 1984's Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. It's too dark! It's too mean-spirited! Willie and Short Round are annoying! It's not fun! Truth be told I too shared these sentiments for a long time. When I saw it as a kid I remember feeling very uncomfortable as hearts were ripped out, children tortured, and human hides hung up for display in windows. I always remembered it as an unpleasant, if unforgettable and strangely addictive movie. Re-watching it recently, I was surprised at how much I appreciated it, and shocked at how wrong I and most other people were about its standing in the Indiana Jones canon.
To be honest, most of the things people say about it are true. It is very dark and disturbing. The fun, tongue-in-cheek action/violence of Raiders is replaced with sick and twisted horror. Tonally, Temple of Doom has more in common with Hausu and The Wicker Man than with the movies to its right and left in the series. Indiana is not so much a hero in this movie as a victim, just barely surviving with the skin of his teeth, plunging deeper and deeper into increasingly more perilous crises. The second act of the movie is pitch-black, lacking any of the winking humor we expect from an Indiana Jones flic. And I love it! For all these reasons.
I don't know who it was who drew the arbitrary line in the sand and said, "An Indiana Jones movie must be this light-hearted with this amount of violence." One reason to admire Temple of Doom is its uniqueness from the the rest of the series. Where the other three movies are fun action romps, Temple of Doom is bloody and mysterious. Where in the other three movies, Indy is on a quest to find something, in Temple of Doom he is on the run throughout – the hunted rather than the hunter. Where the other three movies feature multiple sub-plots which require breaks in the action to explain, Temple of Doom is a linear story packed with virtually non-stop action from beginning to end. Where Raiders and Last Crusade are set in the sandy Middle-East, Temple of Doom takes place in lush, green India, giving it an exotic and foreign feel.
As you can see, as a sequel to Raiders of the Lost Ark, it sucks. But as a piece of atmospheric action-horror it is brilliant. The movie begins with an over-the-top musical performance of "Anything Goes" by Kate Capshaw, then descends into progressively darker territory, down into the catacombs of the menacing Pankot Palace, a kind of anti-Shangri La, where a thought to be extinct cult still operates splendidly, offering up human sacrifices to their goddess Kali. The Temple is lit almost entirely in a hot Satanic red. The high priest and main antagonist Mola Ram wears a hat adorned with the horns and jaw of an animal. During the ceremonies he reaches into the victim's chest and pulls his heart out still beating, laughing maniacally as it explodes into flame.
Here we come to one of the few points at which Temple of Doom is superior to its predecessor and immediate successor: the villain! While Rene Belloq was a competent and less ethical rival to Indiana Jones, he never felt like an actual threat, and it is hard to imagine him doing anything to Indy that Indy wouldn't reciprocate if the shoe were on the other foot. Last Crusade doesn't have a villain, merely a minor inconvenience. Mola Ram is off-the-rails evil. Maniacal in his ambitions and practical in his methods, he is a classic Hollywood villain. Until Cate Blanchett appears in the fourth movie, Mola Ram is the only truly scary villain in the franchise.
Temple of Doom is a flawed film, of course. Neither George Lucas nor Steven Spielberg is particularly proud of it, and most people seem to agree. I am happy to see, though, that a slow but steady movement to rehabilitate this film's image is underway online, a movement which I am happy to support. It's a wild film with a crazy imagination, wonderfully realized yet doomed to be judged by the same standard as its brethren. I can never really decide which Indy movie is my favorite – I can find greatness in each. It sort of depends on the mood I'm in. Right now, for better or worse I'm in a Temple of Doom mood. If it's been a while since you've seen it, or you've always dismissed it as too dark or too weak, go ahead and re-watch it. I think you'll be surprised.

Roberts officials to hold meeting in November to discuss wind farm issues
Credit: Will Brumleve, Paxton Record, www.paxtonrecord.net 11 August 2011 ~~
ROBERTS – The village board has tentatively set a public meeting for early November to gauge the public's interest in banning wind farms within a "buffer zone" around the village of Roberts.
The informational meeting will likely be held in the "first two weeks of November" at the Roberts Gym, said Mayor Rick Flessner.
Flessner said he recently visited the Settlers Trail Wind Farm near Sheldon in Iroquois County. He said he was "disturbed" by the noise created by the wind turbines, which seemed more noticeable at night.
Due to potential noise issues, Flessner said he believes the village needs to review whether to limit the construction of turbines within an area around Roberts. The purpose of the upcoming meeting is to explore the pros and cons of wind farms to give the board an indication of whether to move forward on the idea.
However, Roberts officials won't be able to take any action until the village first creates its own planning commission and zoning board of appeals.
Ford County Zoning Officer Larry Knilands said only those municipalities that have their own planning commission and ZBA have the authority to set zoning restrictions – including restrictions against wind farms – within an area of up to 1 1/2 miles of their corporate limits.
The planning commission and zoning board would be required to vote on any zoning proposal being considered by the village board.

LUCERNE VALLEY � A man was airlifted in stable condition Thursday after he was bitten by a rattlesnake believed to be a Mojave green, officials said.
San Bernardino County Fire Station 8 paramedics responded to a call from the area of Rabbit Springs Road and Camp Rock Road in Lucerne Valley just after 1 p.m. Captain Paramedic Mike O�Bier said they arrived and found a man in his 20�s who had been working on an outdoor water tank at the location.
The man, whose name was not released, had been working at ground level and likely disturbed a snake that was resting in a hole or burrow. The man suffered a bite wound to his left hand, O�Bier said.
The man was airlifted from Pioneer Park in Lucerne Valley to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center for anti-venom treatment.
O�Bier said the snake could not be found at the location, but the victim described it as having a triangular head, a rattler on its tail and a diamond pattern on its head and back. The Mojave green�s powerful neurotoxic venom makes it one of the most dangerous snakes in North America.
O�Bier said the victim stayed as still as possible until paramedics arrived, which likely kept his condition from worsening.
�He stayed immobile because he didn't want to get his heart rate up,� O�Bier said. �That�s an excellent idea.�
Snakes are most active between April and September. O�Bier advised the public to �always check where you�re putting your feet and hands� when doing anything outdoors.

to gka3000;
i know that 5700 cnt be replaced by 5310 nor the sliding one (dont know the model hehe) bec the new xpress music fones are java, not symbian. but u know, that's what nokia is trying to do.. but in terms of features and reputation, not any of those new music fones can beat 5700.
ive already tried researching for that 5710 and in my opinion, it's not real. they just imitated the concept of 5300 transformers ed. funny
@ 1sexybeast -
no i dont think the 5700 can be replaced with 5310 & 5610 they only got firmwares while the 5700 runs on symbian s60 3rd edition ... this one is one uniq phone on the xpress music series i dont think it will be replaced ... and the 5710 im not sure about it cuz when i saw the pics in the web sites about it i thought maybe they look just like the 5700 transformers edition !! ?? ... why would nokia release a 5700 transformer edition designed phone saying its a 5710 with only two three improved functions !! ?? ... that im not sure of ... maybe the 5710 is different than we think ...
so if those stories are true nokia will be releasing three same designed phones with few improvements in each the 5700 xpress music / the 5700 xpress music transformer edition / the 5710 xpress music edition ... and all with nothing but the same designs ...
No! It can't be! But I'm yet to buy this phone sometime in the first week of January. I hope it doesn't get phased out too soon. *disappointed*
hey gka3000. thanks for the info! wow.. this fone really has everything. im gonna go buy this fone tom.. or better yet, later! hahaha!
i went to greenhills yesterday and most of the stores are not selling this any longer. if ur really interested with this fone, get one ryt away. i think nokia is replacing this with the new xpressmusic fones like 5310.. which is not a symbian fone. eww.. hehehe..
Number 57 has a great significance in me and that's why I am so damn planning to buy this fon but when I went to a Nokia store they can no longer give me the price because they told me that it will soon be replaced with a skinny/thinner version. Nokia is cancelling 5700. If there will be 5710 or whatever, I hope there will be Wi-fi and be sold more or less the same price with 5700. I hope Nokia engineers and marketing people can read this. hehehehe
yah maybe..when i asked this phone from a shop here in manila they told me its phased out..geee when i transfer to another shop next to them its still available worth 12000 pesos..hehehe gotta grab one.hehehe
@ 1sexybeast -
this phone already supports video ringtones ... no need of third party applications to be installed u can just select a video and set to be ur ringtone or assign the ringtone to a contact ... however in gsmarena specifications they havent shown it ...
btw, does anybody know if there's an application that would add video ringtone for 5700? that's one of the features this fone is missing aside from wifi. please send us a link where to get it. thanks in advance.
i've tried this fone awhile ago and i was really amazed at 1st how bright and lively the screen display is. 2nd wud be the speakers. it's remarkable.. very crisp and solid sound. and if ur concerned abt the bottom twisting part, it's very sturdy. i assure u it's not going to break unless u drop it or intend to dismantle it. hehe.. i think im gonna buy this fone over 6120c. i like my sounds a bit louder than what 6120c can offer. unless i get a good offer from someone selling an n95. hahahaha! cheers guys!

Learn how to leverage the power of crowds via social media.
Crowdsourcing has been around for many years, and has also evolved along with technology. Businesses have built specific online platforms for the practice, and crowdsourcing has deeply impacted research and development. So much can be leveraged by the use of crowds, from crisis management to product feedback and innovation; corporations benefit highly from this type of research and outsourcing. Businesses are decentralizing in-house research and labor in favor of the opinion and work of the masses. This eBook explains how to leverage the power of crowds via social media.

Councilman David G. Boschert last night introduced a resolution in the County Council opposing Gov. William Donald Schaefer's proposal to move the state prison boot camp to Tipton Army Airfield in western Anne Arundel.
Mr. Boschert, a Crownsville Democrat, favors turning the airfield, which must be disposed of by September 1995 under the federal Base Closure and Realignment Act, into a privately run aviation facility. The county is conducting a feasibility study to determine whether it wants to request transfer of the airfield to its ownership, which it would then lease to a private concern to operate.
Mr. Schaefer expressed interest in moving the Herman L. Toulson Correctional Boot Camp to Tipton last month after efforts to relocate it from Jessup to the northern edge of Fort Meade, near a large housing development, were rebuffed. U.S. Rep. Steny H. Hoyer, the 5th District Democrat, tacked an amendment onto a military construction bill forbidding use of any federal money to relocate the camp to the military post, which effectively killed the governor's proposal.

Market participants had many concerns on their minds as the trading week began. Those concerns included increasing violence in the Ukraine, a disappointing PMI for China, lowered GDP estimates for Europe, and anxiety about Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen's upcoming testimony. The chair testifies before the Joint Economic Committee on Wednesday and the Senate Budget Committee on Thursday. Those market participants with long memories remember that it was during this testimony last May that then FOMC Chair Ben Bernanke jolted markets with the news that the taper might begin within a few months. Questioning this year will certainly include questions on when rate hikes might be expected.
Although futures were down heavily at the market open neared and indices gapped lower at the open, many indices managed gains. The SPX gained 0.19 percent; the Dow, 0.11 percent; and the NDX, 0.49 percent. The RUT was a laggard, closing down 0.22 percent. The SOX gained 0.07 percent. The BKX, the KBW Bank Index, dropped 0.60 percent, with financials hit hard by news from J.P. Morgan. The DJT, the Dow Jones Transports, one of our bellwether indices, dropped 0.30 percent. Volume was light today, as befitted a market when participants aren't quite sure what to expect next.
Commodity trading also produced light volume on the /GC, /SI, and /HG contracts. The settlement figures will be listed for the highest-volume contract. Gold futures (/GC)for June delivery settled at 1309.30, up 6.4 points. Silver futures (/SI) for July delivery settled at 19.571, up 0.025. Copper futures (/HG) for July delivery settled at 3.0535, down 0.0165. Light sweet crude futures (/CL) for June delivery settled at 99.48, down 0.28 points.
Monday's Developments
Last night, China's HSBC Final Manufacturing PMI disappointed, measuring 48.1. That was lower than the anticipated 48.4 but up slightly from March's 48.0 estimate. The summary noted that operating conditions had weakened in April. New orders also weakened. Firms cut staff, although at a "modest pace." Many components and the overall result were characterized as indicating a continued contraction, but a contraction at a more modest pace. Input and output costs, however, fell sharply. The summary recognized China's recent reform efforts and acknowledged that those efforts could support growth. The summary concluded that bolder actions would be needed to ramp up the momentum in China's economy.
Coupled with the heightened tension in the Ukraine, that result from China weighed on global bourses across the globe during the Asian trading period. The Nikkei 225 was closed for a holiday. The Hang Seng dropped 1.28 percent, and the Straits Times, 0.34 percent. China's Shanghai Composite, however, saw a late-day bounce that brought that index a single point into positive territory, up 0.05 percent.
European bourses also dealt with a Eurozone growth forecast with mixed predictions. The European Commission's summary mentioned "genuine signs that a more lasting recovery [than any seen since 2008] is now taking place in the EU and the euro area." Those signs included strengthening confidence and business indicators. Even in the most vulnerable member countries, the report noted, the outlook improved. The report projected real GDP growth at 1.6 and 1.2 percent, respectively, in the EU and the euro area in 2014, and 2.0 and 1.7 percent in 2015.
Here comes the sticking point for many market participants. The report also characterized disinflationary trends in the first quarter of this year as stronger than expected. That prompted the downward revision of inflation expectations to 1.0 and 0.8 percent, respectively, in the EU and Eurozone for this year.
As if to back up the European Commission's assertion that the outlook had improved in even the most vulnerable member countries, Portugal's prime minister announced Sunday that the country would exit its bailout program after next month's installment. The country will thereafter obtain its financing from the markets. That will leave Greece and Cyprus still receiving bailout monies.
European bourses had been trading lower through most of their trading sessions, but most managed late-day bounces that took some back into positive territory. The U.K.'s FTSE 100 was shuttered for a holiday today. The DAX lost 0.28 percent but closed well off its low of the day. The CAC 40 managed a gain of 0.10 percent, powering higher as the U.S. bourses bounced off their lows. Spain's IBEX 35 managed a 0.02 percent gain, closing 134.50 points off its day's low. Italy's FTSE MIB didn't make it back into positive territory. It closed lower by 0.65 percent.
Today's slate of U.S. economic releases included the Gallup U.S. Consumer Spending Measure, a measure that purports to track how much consumers spend on a daily basis. The figure excludes regular monthly expenses as well as high-ticket items such as house and car purchases. Gallup reported that April's average spending rose to $88 from March's $87. Gallup also noted that this result is in the high range for the month of April, although Gallup has been gathering this information only since 2008.
Markit's April PMI Services Index measured 55.0 percent, down from March's 55.3 percent. However, experts had predicted that the number would stabilize at 54.2 percent, so the number beat expectations. Markit pointed out that activity rose for the sixth consecutive month, new business growth rebounded, and employment numbers rose marginally. That marginal rise in employment, however, marked the slowest growth since March 2013, Markit cautioned.
Out of seven component measures, only outstanding business contracted, dropping to 47.4 percent from the prior 48.3 percent. New business, however, was growing at a faster rate, at 55.1 percent as compared to the prior 53.0 percent. Still, Markit contributed the subdued rise in employment numbers to a lack of pressure on operating capacity.
Another services PMI number followed shortly. ISM's April Non-Manufacturing or Services Index measured 55.2 percent, beating expectations. Experts had predicted that the PMI would measure 54.3 percent, up from the prior 53.1 percent. This is the strongest ISM Services headline number since the August 2013 number, and the ISM summary noted that this marked the 51st consecutive month that economic activity in the non-manufacturing sector had strengthened.
New orders jumped 4.8 points, measuring 58.2 percent. The business activity/production component jumped even more, by 7.5 points to 60.9 percent. Fourteen service industries expanded while only four reported contraction. The prices index rose to 60.8 from the prior 58.3. However, the employment component dropped 2.3 points to 51.3 percent, with 50.0 percent the benchmark measuring contraction versus expansion. The sampling of comments from respondents sounded optimistic about sales.
Moody's weekly Business Confidence followed. This number inched lower to 29.9, dropping from last week's 30.4. Moody's believes that companies remain optimistic, especially about business through this summer. Forty percent of the respondents noted that they plan to hire while only ten percent plan to reduce payrolls, leading Moody's to call hiring intentions "sturdy." Moody's did note some softness in the assessment of current conditions. Also new to this week's summary was a comment that confidence was weakest in South America.
When reporting the second quarter's Senior Loan Officer Survey this afternoon, the Federal Reserve noted that banks had seen stronger demand for commercial real estate loans and commercial and industrial loans. Those banks had also, on average, eased their lending policies for those types of loans.
The Federal Reserve noted more reports of weaker demand rather than stronger demand for all types of residential real estate loans and stronger demand for credit card and auto loans. The banks on average eased standards for consumer credit card and auto loans and tightened them for non-traditional closed-end mortgage loans.
Story stocks included Target (TGT, 59.87, down 2.14 or 3.45 percent). Although volume was light on the market in general, TGT's decline came on more than double the average daily volume. The company announced that its chairman and CEO had resigned in the wake of the data breaches that occurred five months ago. The breach had frightened customers, and TGT business suffered. The company's chief financial officer will act as interim president and CEO. Target is also searching for a chief information security officer and a chief compliance officer to join the recently hired new chief information officer.
J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (JPM, 54.22, down 1.36 or 2.45 percent) warned that the trading environment was a challenging one. JPM's volume was also higher than normal. The bank has also incurred legal expenses and lost out to Citigroup in its bid to handle Norway's sovereign oil wealth.
Apple (600.96, up 8.38 or 1.41 percent) rose after a jury decision today, even though AAPL didn't get the extra damages it had sought. The jury kept damages Samsung Electronics must pay AAPL at $119.6 million, the same amount decided upon on Friday. AAPL had said the jurors made a technical mistake, and they were sent back today for further deliberations. AAPL investors will be glad to have AAPL back over $600.00, at least for a day.
Walgreens (WAG, 69.85, up 0.99 or 1.44 percent) hit a record close today. The company reported that April sales rose 8.8 percent.
Companies reporting earnings today included Pfizer (PFE, 29.96, down 0.79 or 2.57 percent). Volume was 54.3 million with average daily volume at 29.5 million. The company reported earnings of $0.57 per share, excluding special items, above expectations of $0.55 per share. Revenue of $11.35 billion missed expectations of $12.08 billion, however. Declining sales of generic medicines due to competition from cheaper generics decreased revenue. PFE is still hoping that it can make a deal with the U.K.'s AstraZeneca. AstraZeneca has already rejected the company's latest offer, made on Friday. If the deal is eventually made, PFE will change its official domicile to London, although it will retain corporate offices in the U.S. That change in official domicile would lower its income tax rate.
Occidental Petroleum Corp (OXY, 94.70, up 0.26 or 0.28 percent) reported earnings of $1.75 per share, beating the Capital IQ Consensus estimate by a nickel. However, revenues of $6.09 billion missed expectations of $6.3 billion. The company's worldwide realized price for crude rose to $99.00 per barrel versus the $98.07 per barrel it realized in the year-ago period. However, daily oil and gas production volumes dropped to an average of 745,000 BOE from the year-ago period's 763,000 BOE.
Tyson (TSN, 38.44, down 4.21 or 9.87 percent) reported profit of $0.60 per share. Volume was more than three times average daily volume. The company had been expected to earn $0.61-0.63, depending on the source estimating the returns. Sales of chicken in China met strong competition from domestic pork. Sales of $9.03 billion beat estimates of $8.8 billion.
After the close, American International Group, Inc. (AIG, 52.72, up 0.71 percent) had dropped to 51.75 as this report was prepared. The company reported earnings of $1.09 a share, better than the expected $1.06-1.07 per share. Net income and after-tax operating income dropped from the year-ago levels. The property and casualty business saw a drop from year-ago levels due to falling investment income and higher catastrophic losses.
Tenet Healthcare Corp (THC, 45.36, down 0.05 or 0.11 percent) also reported after the close. The company reported a loss of $0.33 a share, a bigger loss than the expected $0.15 a share, but far better than the year-ago comparison of a loss of $0.85 a share. Revenue was $3.93 million, higher than the expected $3.89 million.
EOG Resources (EOG, 99.25, up 2.19 or 2.26 percent) was scheduled to report after the close. However, that report was not available through normal sources, including the company's website, as this report was prepared for publication. The conference call was set for tomorrow morning.
Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (APC, 99.49, down 0.08 or 0.08 percent) had jumped to 101.25 as this report was prepared. After the close, the company reported earnings, excluding the cost of a nuclear waste cleanup settlement, of $1.26 per share on revenue of $5.8 billion. Adjusted earnings had been expected to measure $1.13 per share. The company also hiked the midpoint of guidance for its full-year sales-volume. If the settlement payment is included, APC lost $5.30 per diluted share.
Let's look at daily charts.
Those new to my Monday Wraps might find the following paragraphs useful when interpreting my charts. Those who have read the Wraps can skip straight to the charts. I set up nested Keltner channels on my charts. It's a run-of-the-mill channeling system like the more familiar Bollinger Bands. As with those more familiar BB's, channel boundaries are often targets for upside or downside moves. They also mark levels where prices might find support or resistance on closes. When several channel lines converge, that potential resistance or support might appear stronger, just as it would if 20-, 50- and 100-sma's all converge in one spot.
For the benefit of subscribers, I mark potential upside and downside target/support/resistance levels with rectangles, usually green for upside and red for downside. Orange rectangles are sometimes used when the darker-colored ones would not allow for a clear examination of the next target. From now on, I will mention the nearest potential support or resistance level in the discussion on the chart, but not the further-out ones. They can be located on the charts if price breaks through the nearest levels on consistent daily closes. If an interpretation such as "support levels appear stronger than resistance, so up looks more likely than down" is possible, I'll tell you. Often we traders must be able to defend our trade against a move in either direction.
As with any type of potential support or resistance, those with profits should be protective of those profits as support or resistance is tested. If prices find support and climb, look to the next higher rectangle, even one just broken through, as potential resistance. Do the reverse when resistance is breached. Hopefully, this format provides you with the information you need without requiring all night to read as happens when I list each potential support or resistance level individually.
Legend for Keltner Channels and Moving Averages:
This legend references today's SPX values, but the Keltner and moving average setups and colors are consistent across all the Keltner charts used in this Wrap. This legend can be utilized for all of them.
Annotated Daily Chart of the SPX:
The market environment seems so tenuous that it's perhaps surprising to look at the SPX's chart. This index is reinstituting a rally pattern of daily closes at or along a rising 9-ema. The daily candles formulated along that rising 9-ema are for the most part small-bodied candles, and they hug that rising 9-ema a bit more than is common in the strongest rallies. They don't yet invite strong confidence in continued gains. However, as long as the SPX produces consistent daily closes at or above a rising 9-ema, we can't argue against the pattern. We can, however, keep our eyes on the approaching April high. The approach to that prior high along with geopolitical and economic uncertainties probably contribute to the hesitancy we're seeing. We know that, but we don't know how it will be settled.
While the Keltner setup suggest a potential upside target of about 1,900-1,920 as long as daily closes are at or above the 9-ema, we know to be watchful of that potentially strong resistance near 1,890-1,900. That's the zone that includes last month's closing and intraday highs. If the SPX successfully breaks through all that resistance and sustains daily closes above about 1,920, the next potential upside target ranges from about 1,930-1,945. Until then, it's possible that any rally would be capped by daily closes at or below about 1,890-1,920.
What about the more bearish case? If the SPX falls through the 9-ema's support and sustains daily closes beneath it, the next potential downside target is at about 1,845-1,863. Sustained daily closes beneath about 1,845 set a downside target near 1,800-1,820. That one would need to hold on most daily closes, or the SPX is breaking a long-term pattern.
Annotated Daily Chart of the Dow:
The Dow has not respected the rising 9-ema as well as the SPX, but it's mostly been producing daily closes at or above a rising 9-ema. As long as the Dow continues doing so, the Keltner setup suggests that it has a potential upside target of about 16,735-16,860. However, we know that massive potential resistance gathers at the triple-top area, from about 16,570-16,632, and that's probably the reason that the Dow's daily candles are also hugging that 9-ema rather than bouncing up from it. The Dow would need to sustain daily closes above about 16,632 before I would believe too strongly in its chances of reaching for that next upside Keltner target. Do not ignore the possibility that it could be reached, however. What's next if it does hit the next target? Sustained daily closes above about 16,860 would set a new potential upside target at about 17,060-17,160, but until then, that 16,800 zone should also be considered potential resistance on daily closes.
If the Dow begins sustaining daily closes beneath the 9-ema, particularly if its actions have flattened that moving average, it sets a potential downside target at about 16,266-16,400. I can't narrow that zone any closer because that zone also includes many opens, closes, highs and lows produced over the last months. That zone's support could bounce the Dow again. If a retest of that zone does not result in a bounce, and the Dow sustains daily closes beneath about 16,266, the Keltner setup suggests a next potential downside target at about 16,060-16,160. If that support doesn't hold on daily closes, historical and Keltner potential support levels alternate at about 16,000 and then 15,780-15,910.
Annotated Daily Chart of the NDX:
The NDX sits in the middle of its broadening formation, but a different formation garners most of the attention from the trading world: the potential head-and-shoulders on the NDX's daily chart. Last Monday's Wrap mentioned that a rally could be stopped at the second-shoulder area. Indeed, the rally that started late last week has been stopped there, so far. The Keltner setup suggests that the NDX would need sustained daily closes above about 3,605 to break out of that right-shoulder area and reject the formation. I've extended that upside benchmark to 3,618 to include the highest close when the first shoulder was being formed. If the NDX does sustain daily closes above 3,618 and break higher, watch for potential resistance on daily closes at 3,630-3,670. Keltner and historical resistance levels alternate above that. Those next potential resistance levels are at historical and round-number potential resistance near 3,700 and then at the suggested Keltner upside target, at about 3,718-3,760. A higher potential target is also marked.
What if the NDX instead sustains daily closes beneath about 3,560? The Keltner setup suggests a next potential downside target at about 3,494-3,530. The Keltner setup suggests that sustained daily closes beneath about 3,494 would then set a potential downside target at about 3,400-3,430. That's an important potential support zone for the NDX on daily closes. A failure to sustain most daily closes at or above that zone would mark a change in the long-term trend for the NDX.
Annotated Daily Chart of the RUT:
The RUT bounced the end of last week, but that bounce was stopped by the first layer of potential resistance on daily closes. That layer extends from about 1,127-1,137. Sustained daily closes above about 1,137 would set a potential upside target from about 1,146-1,160, where resistance on daily closes also looks strong. Two higher potential targets are marked in case the RUT can power through 1,160 this week and sustain daily closes above it. However, 1,800 must also be recognized as potentially strong resistance for the RUT.
The pattern of sustained daily closes beneath about 1,137 and mostly at or below 1,127, however, is beginning to look worrisome. That pattern keeps alive the possibility of a potential retest of last week's and even February's lows. Currently, the Keltner setup suggests that there may be support on daily closes at about 1,090-1,105. The 1,090-1,095 zone, in particular, is an important one. It includes a 10-percent drop off the RUT's 1,212.82 high as well as important Keltner support that has held up on most daily closes for more than a year. Breaking that 1,090 support on sustained daily closes, breaks a long-term pattern for the RUT. In addition, we can't ignore the potential head-and-shoulders formation, even though the RUT's version has a truncated second shoulder and a debatable neckline area. Some will be looking at a neckline confirmation level as high as 1,100 and others, as low as 1,080.
The RUT may be the index to watch, then, for guidance. A sustained break up through about 1,160 would certainly surprise shorts, although more may be ready and willing to short RUT component stocks at RUT 1,800. Likewise, buyers of RUT component stocks may be ready to throw in the towel if values below 1,080 or maybe even below 1,090 are sustained.
Annotated Daily Chart of the Dow Jones Transports:
The DJT, the Dow Jones Transports, serves as a bellwether indicator for the economy. So far, it, too, maintains most daily closes above a rising 9-ema. The DJT recently broke out to a new high, but it couldn't maintain that breakout. It should be watched closely, too. New upside breakouts that are sustained would likely encourage SPX, OEX and Dow bulls, at least, while a breakdown in the DJT might further discourage those traders who have been dumping the less liquid small caps or those sitting on big gains in the high momentum stocks.
Tomorrow's Economic and Earnings Releases
This week's important economic events are carried forward from Jim Brown's weekend Wrap.
Japan's Nikkei 225 will not be open tonight. Other events of note that might impact trading tomorrow include a raft of Service (or Non-Manufacturing) PMI's across Europe, as well as ongoing ECOFIN Meetings. The ECOFIN meetings among European Council member countries' finance ministers. This is termed the broadest financial decision-making body in Europe.
Companies reporting earnings tomorrow include ALL, CBOE, DIS, EA, FSLR, NUS, TM, UBS and WFM.
What about Tomorrow?
Annotated 30-Minute Chart of the SPX:
This 30-minute chart displays the way the SPX has been chopping through the purple Keltner channel, beginning to flatten that channel. Strength has been waning. Although most 30-minute closes have been above the red 9-ema, the movements threaten to flatten that moving average, too, rendering it less venerable of a benchmark for measuring short-term bullish or bearish action. For now, sustained closes above the 9-ema suggest it's more likely for the SPX to reach toward its next upside Keltner target, now at about 1,889-1,894, than it is to fall, but I would take that guidance with a grain of salt due to the flattening channel. Sustained 30-minute closes below about 1,879 would suggest that the SPX is more likely to drop toward its nearest short-term downside target, from about 1,870-1,880. The channels have flattened enough that movements within the purple channel may not be anything more than chop and not particularly predictive of next medium-term direction.
What if the SPX does break out of the purple channel? Sustained 30-minute closes above about 1,894 target the 1,900-1,905 zone. Sustained 30-minute closes below about 1,870 target the 1,845-1,851 zone.
Annotated 30-Minute Chart of the Dow:
The Dow has also flattened out its purple channel, indicating a temporary waning of upward momentum, perhaps ahead of the Yellen testimony later this week. Today, potential support on 30-minute closes from about 16,483-16,520 held throughout the afternoon. As long as that support continues to hold on 30-minute closes, the Dow may be more likely to reach for its next potential upside target, now ranging from about 16,590-16,623. Sustained 30-minute closes beneath about 16,483, however, may target the 16,400-16,430 zone, where support may be found on 30-minute closes. As was true with the SPX, it may be now that movements within the purple channel are just chop, not being particularly predictive of next direction.
Sustained 30-minute breakouts above or below the purple channel--so above about 16,623 or below about 16,400--set up new targets. The next potential upside target in case of an upside break would be about 16,700-16,731. The next potential downside target in case of sustained 30-minute closes beneath about 16,400 would be about 16,238-16,270. We can see from the chart, however, that there may also be some historical support just above 16,300.
Annotated 30-Minute Chart of the NDX:
The NDX has also flattened its purple channel, and it's also been chopping back and forth across its 9-ema. The potential support on 30-minute closes at the 9-ema has to be broadened to include the peach-colored 45-ema. With the exception of this morning's first thirty minutes, the NDX has maintained 30-minute closes above that 45-ema's support since last Tuesday. As long as the NDX maintains those 30-minute closes above about 3,588-3,598, it maintains the possible upside target at about 3,610-3,622. An upside breakout characterized by sustained 30-minute closes above about 3,622 would set a next potential Keltner target at about 3,646-3,658.
What if the NDX weakens? Sustained 30-minute closes below about 3,588 would set a potential downside short-term target at 3,557-3,575. A failure to maintain 30-minute closes above about 3,557 would set a downside target at about 3,485-3,500.
Annotated 30-Minute Chart of the Russell 2000:
The RUT again shows its relative weakness when its Keltner chart is compared to that of the other indices. The RUT has flattened its purple channel. In addition, many of today's 30-minute closes were beneath the red 9-ema and within the potential support/resistance zone that contains the converging 9- and 45-ema's. That zone ranges from about 1,124-1,129. Sustained 30-minute closes beneath about 1,124 would set a potential short-term downside target of about 1,112-1,116. The RUT hit that zone soon after the open today and bounced from it, but then the RUT couldn't sustain values in the upper or bullish half of the purple channel. To do so, the RUT would have to sustain 30-minute closes above about 1,129, setting a potential upside target of about 1,135-1,140.
As was true with the other indices, prices that chop around within that flattened purple channel may no longer indicate much to us about next direction and may just validate that there's chop. However, if the RUT were to sustain 30-minute closes above about 1,140 or below about 1,112, it would be breaking out of that purple channel. Either breakout would set a next potential short-term target, at about 1,154-1,160 on the event of an upside breakout or at about 1,098-1,102 on the event of a downside breakdown.
What's next? Today's light volume, the underperformance of the RUT, the financials and the transports, and the way the market gains were made all combined to recommend a little skepticism about the day's gains. Many indices traded sideways after the bounce off the morning low. The late-day push higher felt a little as if shorts finally gave up the hope that prices would roll over by the end of the day and chose to cover some of their shorts. While it was impressive that equity markets here (and also some in Asia and Europe) bounced off their lows, we need to see some follow through before we believe too strongly in renewed strength. I'm just not certain we'll get it before the FOMC chair's testimony on Wednesday. That depends on whether bulls or bears are running scared.
We can't deny that some indices have reinstituted their rally patterns, but you kind of have to do a little side-to-side hand wave when saying that. None of those indices are bounding higher from their retests of their 9-emas, and other indices aren't even managing that much strength. Treat the upcoming hearings beginning on Wednesday as you would an upcoming FOMC meeting when you didn't know what might be decided. Don't go into that meeting with too much risk in your options trades. If it's time to start a new trade, you might consider waiting until the Q and A session has concluded on Wednesday, at least, before opening that position. If not, you might want to open it in a smaller size than normal.

Painting a Pot Plant
23/12/16I was so excited at getting stuck back into my paints with my kiddish cup piece, I managed to do another painting a few days later!
This is a pretty plant that I have in my kitchen, and since I wanted to just paint a simple still life in one sitting, I thought this would make a nice subject. I set it up in box again, but this time I lit it with a lamp, quite important as I painted it in the evening when it was dark. I like having a strong light source, though whilst I was painting I tried to avoid making the highlights too yellow, which is what can happen when using an ordinary lamp in an arrangement.
The techniques I used for this painting were inspired largely by the Impressionists, especially Cezanne, who I have been studying with my pupils at school. The canvas was prepared with a warm ochre wash, and I began by drawing the plant with a thin mix of Ultramarine and Cadmium Yellow (light). I kept it quite loose, just sticking to the basic form of the plant, without getting too particular about each leaf. I also was more interested in tone than precise colours, looking for a punchy tonal contrast. The flowers were more pink on the plant than in my painting, but I wanted to keep my palette limited, so I just stuck to Windsor Red, using Cadmium Yellow (light), Ultramarine and Titanium White to achieve tonal variation. Once I had finished the plant and pot itself, I was quite tempted to leave the ochre wash of the background, but I wanted to experiment with a Cezanne style background, using various pale hues - peach, lilac and pink, to try and catch that Impressionist shimmer. I don't think my mixes were strong enough the colour of the background is fairly uniform; perhaps working in daylight would have helped me working with such pale colours. Nevertheless, I am happy with the background, particularly how some of the ochre wash shows through giving the painting a warm glow.
I'd love to hear your comments, so please be in touch via email, and share with friends and art lovers on social media!

Update by user May 19, 2017
There has been total silence from Digishop and Ebay. It is a shame since Ebay started out so good but got greedy. hey get their commission and screw the end user that gets ripped off by Chinese crooks.
Original review posted by user Apr 18, 2017
I bought a radio for my car and it was missing the maps and the radio antnna was broken. They first sent replacement to wrong address and then sent wrong antenna.
the radio started doing strange things and they strung me along before telling me to return it by postal service. I did and the package is now lost somewhere in China and they will not refund or send new radio until the returned one shows up. I don't know if it showed up or not because the tracking stopped when entering China.
It seems that they ran the time out past the 180 mark for ebay to issue a refund and for them to get a black mark. My approval as a buyer is 100%, their approval as a seller is 98%
Product or Service Mentioned: Radio.
Reason of review: Poor customer service.
Monetary Loss: $500.
Preferred solution: I will let the company decide to refund or send working replacement..

adidas SL Loop Runner Trail
As per Sneakerpedia's definition, SL stands for Super Light. Well, mine stands for Sneaker Lust!

New York Suburb Deals With Latest Notorious Murder Case
OAK BEACH, N.Y. -- It has been a year since a police officer and his cadaver dog stumbled upon evidence that would turn into the largest murder investigation on New York's Long Island.
The officer was following up on a missing persons report for a prostitute last seen in Oak Beach, a gated community several miles from Jones Beach. That's when he found the remains of a woman. Eventually, police would find 10 murder victims along the same stretch of beach highway.
They suspect a serial killer is responsible.
This week, police found the personal effects belonging to the woman whose disappearance sparked the investigation. Authorities believe that woman drowned and that her death is unrelated to the serial murders.

Yamaha reshaped motocross in 2010 with the introduction of its radical YZ450F, but for 2011 the silence from the blue camp is just as impressive. The Tuning Fork crew only made a pair of changes to the 2011 Yamaha YZ450F, and if you listen to what Yammie reps have to say, that's as groundbreaking as the original full-blown redesign. The other change is a reshaping of the clutch actuation arm which has a slightly different cam shape and is 6mm longer.

The special issue received 24 papers that were reviewed by at least three anonymous and independent reviewers. After the first round of reviews, only five papers were invited to submit an improved version for further evaluation and, of those, only three papers (about 8% of the total number of submitted papers) were finally published.
The first article "OOPS! (Ontology Pitfall Scanner!): An On-line Tool for Ontology Evaluation" by María Poveda-Villalón, Asunción Gómez-Pérez and Mari Carmen Suárez-Figueroa from the Universidad Politecnica de Madrid in Spain, introduces the quality issues in the modeling phase of ontologies which represents an important component in the Web of Data since a large volume of data, annotated by means of ontologies, is shared on the Web.

Sri Lanka's cricket board Sunday defended Dilruwan Perera after television replays suggested the batsman looked to the dressing room during a delayed review call in the first Test against India.
Perera, who was involved in a crucial 43-stand eight-wicket with Rangana Herath, was adjudged leg before wicket on nought but following a successful challenge stayed on for a 34-ball five on day four in Kolkata.
Controversy arose when Perera started to walk away after Mohammed Shami's in-dipper hit his pads, then began walking back before turning around and requesting a review.
Although the Indian players did not complain, there was speculation — including from television commentators — that he had received advice from the Sri Lankan dressing room.
Players are not allowed to receive outside input while challenging an umpire's decision.
"Contrary to the assumptions made, there was no 'message from the dressing room' involved in the requested review," Sri Lanka Cricket said in a statement.
"Having mistakenly assumed that Sri Lanka were out of reviews, Dilruwan Perera had turned to leave the field when he heard Rangana Herath inquire from the on-field umpire Nigel Llong if Sri Lanka have any reviews left, to which Mr. Llong answered in the affirmative," the statement added.
"It was then that Dilruwan requested the review," it said.
The incident recalled Australian skipper Steve Smith's infamous "brain fade" moment earlier this year, when he looked up to the dressing room while reviewing an on-field call during the Bangalore Test.
While Smith said it was a one-off that happened in the heat of the action, Indian skipper Virat Kohli accused the Aussies of cheating.
Sri Lanka said their players are "respectful and bounden to uphold the rules and regulations of the ICC (International Cricket Council)".
Herath, whose defiant 67 helped the visitors take a 122-run first innings lead, backed his teammate after he was drawn into the drama from the non-striker's end.
"I was asking for the review (from) umpire Nigel Llong, maybe Dilruwan also heard that and after that, he asked for it. I did not call him back, I was asking for a review, that's all," said Herath.
Indian paceman Bhuvneshwar Kumar played down the incident, saying that his team players were busier celebrating than looking at Perera.
The visitors are seeking their first Test win on Indian soil in the three-match series.

Memorie DDR550 a latenze ridotte da Corsair
Il noto produttore di memorie americano presenta nuovi moduli DDR550 con latenze di accesso particolarmente ridotte, considerando la frequenza di lavoro elevatadi Paolo Corsini pubblicata il 21 Ottobre 2004, alle 12:13 nel canale Memorie
Corsair ha annunciato la prossima disponibilità di nuovi moduli memoria DDR, capaci di abbinare frequenze di lavoro particolarmente elevate con latenze di accesso non troppo elevate. I moduli TwinX1024-4400C25 sno dichiarati in grado di operare stabilmente sino alla frequenza di 550 MHz, ben superiorei ai 400 MHz di default delle memorie DDR400.
I timings di accesso certificati, a 550 MHz di clock, da Corsair sono quelli 2.5-4-4-8; rispetto ad altri moduli DDR500 e oltre disponibili in commercio il valore CAS è inferiore, 2.5 contro 3, e di conseguenza ci si possono aspettare prestazioni velocistiche leggermente superiori.
Di seguito il comunicato stampa ufficiale:
Fremont, CA, October 20, 2004: Corsair Memory, Inc., a global leader in ultra-performance DDR memory modules for PC gamers and enthusiasts, today announced their fastest ever DDR memory module, a DDR550 module that supports very aggressive 2.5-4-4-8 latencies. These modules typically support 2-2-2-5 latencies at 400MHz clock speeds. The new parts are:
- TwinX1024-4400C25 matched pair of 512MB, DDR550, 2.5-4-4-8, black XMS modules
TwinX1024-4400C25PT matched pair of 512MB, DDR550, 2.5-4-4-8, platinum XMS modules
Both these parts are available immediately from resellers worldwide, and are also available as individual 512MB modules. TwinX kits are tested as a matched pair at their rated specifications and packaged together immediately after passing test, guaranteeing that the customer receives a product that has been verified in the dual channel environment. These modules include Corsairs classic black or platinum aluminum heat spreaders for improved heat dissipation.
The ultra high clock speeds supported by these modules make them an ideal choice for extreme overclockers seeking the ultimate in performance. According to Corsair VP of Applications Engineering John Beekley, weve tested these modules in our labs on a number of 875P, 865PE and 939-pin Athlon 64 FX based motherboards with extremely impressive results. This is the first time weve been able to run memory at 550 MHz on both Intel and AMD platforms and at CAS 2.5! Corsair R&D engineers have validated these modules on both Intel and AMD based platforms, but Corsairs production test lines for these parts employ the Asus P4C800-E motherboard. Moreover, weve driven our manufacturing cost down dramatically on this module compared to our earlier XMS4400 product, which will translate into surprisingly affordable street prices, Mr. Beekley added.
Detailed specifications on this product will be posted to Corsair's web site soon at www.corsairmemory.com/corsair/xms.html. These modules can be purchased through Corsairs authorized sales channels listed at www.corsairmemory.com/corsair/buy.html.

Kevin Dorow on Software & Systems Engineering
Kevin Dorow, PNNL scientist, soccer enthusiast, and dad, shared his work experience at the EMSL auditorium today in a presentation entitled "Implementing Software Architectures To Support Interoperability and Collaboration". Describing systems engineering is "an interdisciplinary approach and means to enable realization of successful systems", Kevin spoke on how it is applied in his work in software and how it contributes to the portfolio of capabilities at the lab.
Kevin and his team work on a diversity of projects. The Multi-sensor airborne radiation survey (MARS), is a vehicle-mounted technology for identifying radioactive material at a distance. Kevin worked to build the software for coordinating third-party technologies and a custom client-server application. Initially started as just a prototype, the project grew from proof of concept to production protoype.
Kevin described the MARS project as a simple example of engineering rigor coping with fluid requirements. When a project scales up, thoughtful software architecture, like pluggable components, makes it easier to fulfill new needs. He also mentioned that when building systems, one should never confuse complexity and sophistication.
The Active RFID Logistics Tracking Project was Kevin's best case for a holistic approach enabling not only new technology, but novel collaboration. It's a technology for tracking assets and shipments as they move, kind of like FedEx tracking for battlefield commanders.
When the RFID project wanted to scale out to include more vendors, weaning themselves from a single source of hardware modules, the team utilized System Engineering approaches to abstract software and standardize hardware, enabling other companies to build compliant products. His team then established an indepdentent certification process within PNNL to verify and validate third-party devices, allowing for standards-based collaboration.
Ultimately, Kevin articulated a means for small research institutions to harness economics of scale: instead of trying to single-handely innovate then manufacture, smaller organizations can innovate then standardize, allowing collaborating organizations to mass-produce products that need to be verified through third-party testing provided by the originating institution. The holistic approach of systems engineering, not just hardware and not just software, is the foundational capability for that business model.

Man Claims He Was Defamed on Craigslist
FORT LAUDERDALE (CN) – A man demands punitive damages from Northeast Financial Solutions, claiming that after he ignored dunning phone calls for a $15,000 debt that he didn't owe, someone put his name on Craigslist, soliciting homosexual sex, and he had to be hospitalized for stress after getting 300 phone calls about it in two days.
The plaintiff also claims the defendants posted a picture of a drunk man in the bogus "Men Seeking Men" ad, "intending the recipients of the personal advertisement to believe that it was a picture of the plaintiff."
He demands damages for libel, emotional distress, and violations of the Fair Debt Collection Act. He is represented in Broward County Court by Jim Polenberg with Polenberg Cooper.

You read it here first
No wonder RESPECT supporters hate this site.
Last week we exclusively brought you the news that George Galloway has been sucking up to Saddam's henchman Tariq Aziz.
Today the London newspaper the Evening Standard, read across Bethnal Green and Bow carries our story - click here to read it.
Recently we highlighted George Galloway's appalling attendance and voting record in parliament and today The Times raises that issue in a fine editorial.
The seat of Bethnal Green and Bow is the sixth poorest in the country and is now home to many voters whose origins lie in Bangladesh but who have made Britain their home. It is also the site of an intense political battle between Oona King, the Labour incumbent, and George Galloway, the out-going MP for Glasgow Kelvin, who was expelled from the Labour Party for his remarks during the Iraq war and found his constituency was abolished by the boundary commissioners.
This contest has, therefore, been portrayed as a referendum on "the war" in a place where many were hostile to it. This is obviously how Mr Galloway would like to frame the question. The electors would be wise to view things differently. The issue here is whether they wish to be represented from the mainstream or the far fringe.
Ms King, who has been the MP since 1997, is an unusual individual. She is black and Jewish in a seat that is becoming more Asian and Muslim. Her initial selection was, thus, controversial locally, yet she responded with vigour and zeal, throwing herself into the defence of her constituents and their interests. Few of her colleagues, including opponents as well as fellow partisans, would deny that she has engaged in parliamentary heavylifting.
She is also an independent spirit. Her views on many policy arguments are some distance to the left of this newspaper. But she has also shown an ability to be pragmatic, for example in championing any approach towards public service reform that will improve the quality of life for the people in her area. Ms King has been consistently principled. She was a founder of the All Party Group on Genocide Prevention in 1998 and called on the Government to do "anything and everything in its power " to be rid of Saddam Hussein a year later. Her backing for the war in Iraq was not "careerist".
The contrast with Mr Galloway is instructive. He too has been consistent. It cannot be claimed that he has been pragmatic. He has held the same hard-left outlook — on foreign as well as domestic policy — for decades, irrespective of the revitalisation of the British economy since the 1980s, the collapse of communism and the mounting evidence that the citizens of the Middle East do not see democracy as an imperialist imposition.
In the 2003-04 parliamentary session, Mr Galloway took part in 1 per cent of divisions. His stated reason was that most votes were on government motions or Tory amendments and "I seldom wish to vote for either". One might have thought that he was itching to oppose all these proposals. Bethnal Green and Bow voters should ask themselves whether he would perform any better on their behalf.
