This is a rip-off. Inexperienced guide. Took us o Burger King then asked where doyou want to go? He was supposed to be knowledgable and inroduce us to Turkish food. This was a rip-off
A great way to become comfortable with Istanbul right away!
Good food, good conversation. Thanks for an incredible evening Umut!
I loved this tour. I was the only guest and I had 2 guides and another guide who was training for this pariticular culinary tour joined us later. Hakan is a gourmet cook and writer. A well spoken highly educated businessman who has great interest in his country and its diversity. He was educated in the states and Britain and he really caters and delivers. Aicha is equally highly educated passionate guide and was genuinely trying to make the tour as enjoyable as possible. And it was! I know a little bit about the turkish cuisine but I was quite surprised by what they offered. First, we walked the surreal Istiklal Street and went through the back door of a very old well known restaurant where a salted chicken was being served litterally on fire. Quite a show. We tasted some exquisite kebab and Humus with " bastirma" served with freshly baked bread and Sherbet. We continued on istiklal and tasted some delights from another old establishment. In between, we stopped at a couple of churches and had some history background of the area. We went through the fish market and stopped at a restaurant offering black sea cuisine. Very very interesting. Hamsli Pilaf, some warm marinated vegetables, special dolmades and corn bread. Very very tasty. We went through the flower passage with its cafes and night life. We then went to another old establishment to eat special clotted cream and pastries. It was then time for coffee which I declined in favor of turkish tea. This was enjoyed on the terrace of a very ancient hotel. Last we visited a well known opulent hotel where Ataturk used to stay. You can visit his room in the morning. And then it was time for the final stop at the terrace of another amazing spot with amazing views on the Golden Horn. Well done! I highly recommend this tour. It is not delivered by half knowledgeable guides. Rather you get top notch experience. Next time I visit Turkey, I will try their morning Kadikoy and Karakoy tour, also on viator. Thank you guys!

The Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Softball team opened its preseason practice schedule for the upcoming 2018 season on Wednesday at Lamson Park.
The Ragin' Cajuns are beginning preparations for the first season under the leadership of head coach Gerry Glasco. Formerly the associate head coach at Auburn, Texas A&M and Georgia, Glasco was named the fourth head coach of the Ragin' Cajuns on Nov. 20, 2017.
Wednesday's morning and afternoon sessions marked the first opportunity for Glasco and the entire coaching staff assistants Joe Guthrie, Ellen Renfroe Reed and Courtnay Foster to conduct practice with the team.
"It was exciting to see our staff coaching together for the first time and how prepared they were," Glasco said. "Overall, we had a great first day. We have tremendous talent with a great work habit in our dugout. Now, we just have to stick to the process building toward the season opener."
Louisiana will practice throughout the month of January and into early February leading up to start of the 2018 season which begins Feb. 8-11 with the Mardi Gras Classic at Lamson Park.
"These preseason practices are going to be extremely important for our team," Glasco said. "Simply because we're all getting to know each other and we'll be working to instill our system.
"Our goal is that by February we'll have determined who our most competitive players are and who can take on leading roles," Glasco added. "I feel confident about the depth of our squad and that we'll see players that when given a chance will take advantage of it."
Senior Kelli Martinez and All-Sun Belt performers Lexie Comeaux and Kara Gremillion headline the returning position players. Senior Kylee Jo Trahan is the veteran of a pitching staff of eight arms, while Oklahoma transfer Alissa Dalton and JUCO All-American Brittany Holland highlight the group of newcomers.
Season tickets, beginning at $101 for outfield seating, are currently on sale and can be purchased by phone at (337) 265-2357, online at RaginCajuns.com using Account Manager, or by visiting the Cajundome Box Office in-person Monday-Friday from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. and extended hours during Ragin' Cajuns basketball events.

Too many people, including plenty of brand-new college graduates, fall far behind on their student loan payments for no good reason.
How many? The Department of Education does not supply much data on late payments. But the student loan expert Mark Kantrowitz, using data from lenders, estimates that between one-quarter and one-third of borrowers are late paying their first student loan bill.

St. Joseph was born and raised in a small north german town close to lots of fish, the breezy north sea and people with deadpan humour. He was introduced to music with an early age and was quickly inspired by the likes of Prince, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder just to name the few obvious. Music of the 70s and 80s as well as early Hip-Hop and Black Music have certainly left a particular mark on him. Short after he successfully managed to receive his seahorse swimming badge he discovered Techno in the early 90s and was immediately hooked.
He bought two Technics turntables and started collecting records in 1996. David moved to Cologne in 2000 which is still his beloved hometown. Every now and then he was invited to play records, in the beginning mostly at private parties. He continued djing but never really felt a strong connection to any scene or managed to develop a residency that he felt would've been fulfilling. He started software-based producing five years ago and instantly felt the need to continue on this quest and therefore started to buy hardware. Today he only uses hardware with his productions. His first release, still under his real name David Joseph, was a split EP together with John Tejada on Lonesome Hero.
Shortly after that he managed to release a very rare debut EP "Limitiert #14″ under his actual moniker St. Joseph on the label Platzhirsch Schallplatten. Since then he has been sharing the decks with the likes of DJ Qu, Tevo Howard, Jus Ed, Chez Damier and numerous other heroes of the scene. Having helped establish Assemble Music as a label with his "Personal Dancefloor EP" back in 2012, it seemed perfectly right for St. Joseph to deliver the Lisbon operation's first full artist album in the shape of "Simple Things", which represents David's own debut long player which has come out in June 2014.
"Everything Is Okay EP" is David's third EP and Lize is very proud to be a part of it.

i can't believe it is my hatching day again! it seems like just yesterday since my last! (though i'm glad a year has passed since then. that adventure was really stressful!!!)...
it feels like i get less and less done between them. (that can't be though can it?)... come to think of it, i still haven't figured out who gave me that h-day present 2 years ago that landed me here in canada!
anyways today i was reminded of my 7th hatching day by my special talent agent peter bond who had taken me for a dinner to try and stop the hockey defeat from bringing me down. "well there killer, i figured i'd treat you to, well, a treat. so that you won't always associate august the 15th with this game."
"no problem," i rationally replied, not thinking about why he listed the date. "that's my hatching day. i won't over write that with the game."
"wait, today's your hatching day?" peter asked in a panic.
"i guess it is," i realized out loud. "weird, as the game feels like it was a few... hmmm."
peter suddenly had one of his excited idea moments (which happen all the time i've noticed). "well of course i knew that!" he exclaimed. "which is of course the OTHER reason i brought you out for dinner! that and you're present!"
"present?!?" i exclaimed.
"oh yes," he said almost unconvinced. suddenly he grabbed and ripped a wooden panel off the wall. are you allowed to do that? "i just need to make a couple quick fixes..."
next thing i knew peter had a paint brush. which would have been weird from anyone else, but this was peter we were talking about!
next thing i knew he presented me with a picture of me.
i have to say, this may not be a plane ticket home, but it sure is one sweet hatching day present!
cheers peter!

Two enterprising, attacking sides crafted a beautiful game at the Bernabeu, featuring fast, skilful play, plenty of edge, and some lovely goals.
Madrid almost went in front after 23 seconds, Pepe Reina beating away Karim Benzema's effort after he was teed-up by Cristiano Ronaldo. But even though they did not have much of the ball, Napoli looked dangerous on the break, taking the lead on eight minutes when Marek Hamsik fed Lorenzo Insigne, whose instant shot caught Kaylor Navas out of position and resulted in a brilliant goal.
At no point, though, did Napoli look capable of holding onto their lead, and after various missed chances, Dani Carvajal crossed superbly with the outside of his right foot for Karim Benzema to head home the equaliser.
Napoli actually started the second half in the ascendancy, but Ronaldo, playing down the right, pulled back perfectly for Kroos to punch in a low finish on 49 minutes before, shortly afterwards, Casemiro murdered home a volley to complete the scoring.
Really, Madrid ought to have scored at least twice more, but Napoli will also regret Dries Mertens' miss that would have set them up perfectly for the return, and in the event, both sides looked relatively satisfied with 3-1; Madrid will reckon the tie just about over, and Napoli will reckon it just about alive.

By my count there have been at least six killer apps* in American philanthropy since the founding of Jamestown:
1. The not-for-profit corporation
2. The foundation
3. The donor-advised fund
4. The Foundation Directory
5. GuideStar
6. The common grant application
I'm excluding from my list individual organizations, as well as innovations not specific to philanthropy (e.g., the Internet and QuickBooks).
Once the Foundation Center's PubHub becomes more robust, by adding, for example, user comments and ratings, I believe it will join the list. Equally important to the field will be the curricula for program officers being developed by The Grantmaking School.
A more telling list, perhaps, would be "Philanthropy's World-Transforming Ideas." Would the list be embarrassingly short? self-promoting? Or would our laptops run out of power before we could finish typing it?
* Used here in the sense of a great innovation that is used widely and adds enormous value to the field.

- Today is a gorgeous day, since the sun is shining brightly.
- Unfortunately, I'm still stuck inside studying film history; the studio system, Orson Welles, German expressionism, French Realism, Spanish Surrealism and Italian Realism...
The reality is however that, although I'm very much interested in the subject, I would rather be out in the sun, enjoying a good book without worrying 'Is this going to be a question on the exam?'
A while back I said I wanted the book on Alexander McQueen. Well, I've found some new interesting items to add to my book wish list -I made my boyfriend promise that when we'll buy our future house, one entire room needs to be decorated as a walk-in-closet and little library.
This is what I'm planning to get when I head over to the States.
1. That Alexander McQueen-book
SImply because it looks like a great book for any communication sciences-student. Plus, as I mentioned before, Fairchild-books are amazing!
Again, I'm very much interested in marketing. Sometimes it seems like people just believe that a person creates something, and then magically it appears in the stores. My internships have taught me otherwise. And since I'm not only fascinated by the garments designed by the fashion houses but also by its industry, I'm very excited to read this one.
A few years ago, I wrote an essay for school on haute couture, ready-to-wear and mass-produced garments. I remember using an article on Dana Thomas' book, which focusses on accessible luxury ("an oxymoron" as she described it), mass-consumption and counterfeiting.
I'm getting this one for my sister, since she's looking forward to the movie. Plus, my grandmother's niece worked for the family, so maybe she's featured in the book/movie as well. Maybe, during our monthly calls, we need to ask her if she's read it ... Furthermore, it apparently mentions Tom Ford's rise and Gucci being caught in the middle of PPR and LVMH.
So, what's on your 'Fashion Books-Wishlist or Must-read list'?
In the meantime, I'm back to my non-fashion related courses...

Fresh styling, efficient new 1.6L engine, excellent "bang for the buck"
For 2012, the Hyundai Accent is all-new. Outside, a new body has been designed, with a much more flowing look than what was used on previous models. New headlights and tail lights have been fitted, and those, along with revised body contours, resemble other Hyundais currently being produced, especially the Sonata, Elantra and Tucson. The Accent is still Hyundai's entry-level compact car, with prices starting at right around $13k. Two body styles are available for 2012: the 5-door hatchback and the 4-door sedan.
Both versions share a redesigned engine for 2012. Displacing the same 1.6 liters as the 2011 Accent's engine, it's direct-injected and makes 138 hp and 123 lb-ft of torque--28 horsepower and 17 pound-feet of torque more than last year. Efficiency has also been improved, with features like low-rolling-resistance tires and electric power steering helping achieve a 37 mpg rating on the highway. A 6-speed manual transmission is now standard equipment, replacing last year's 5-speed unit, while an optional 6-speed automatic replaces the 4-speed unit from 2011.
The Accent offers a number of standard safety features, including anti-lock brakes, traction control, and anti-skid system, curtain-side airbags for driver and passengers, and front-side airbags. The Vehicle Stability Management System combines the function of the power steering, stability control, traction control, and anti-lock brakes when an accident is sensed by the computer. Seatbelt pre-tensioners automatically tighten the driver's and front passenger's seatbelts in the event of a collision, and active head restraints move up and forward in the event of a rear-end collision, helping to reduce whiplash to the driver or front passenger.
Three trim levels are available for 2012: the 4-door GLS, the 5-door GS, and the 5-door SE. The GS 5-door is the most inexpensive of the bunch, with a 6-speed manual, air conditioning, keyless entry, power mirrors, power windows and a 6-speaker stereo system. The SE adds on cruise control, Bluetooth, 16-inch wheels, cloth seats, rear spoiler and fog lamps. The GLS sedan has 14-inch wheels, power door locks and a 4-speaker stereo. It can be ordered with a Comfort package, adding air conditioning, power mirrors and power windows and an upgraded stereo.
The Accent has been completely redesigned for the 2012 model year. A new 1.6L engine has been fitted to all models, which makes 138 horsepower and achieves 40 mpg on the highway. Two body styles are available: a 5-door hatchback and a 4-door sedan. The 3-door hatchback has been discontinued. Both feature all-new styling, with new bodylines, larger headlamps and higher-mounted tail lamps helping to give the car a more upscale look. The car's interior has also been completely redesigned for 2012, with a class-leading 21.2 cubic feet of cargo space in the 5-door model.
Hyundai's Accent may be best known as the cheapest car in America, but for 2012, the automaker has decided to step away from that pursuit with its entry-level compact. The Accent offers quite a bit of bang for the buck in a compact car, and its new 1.6L engine is both relatively powerful and very efficient. At right around $13k, the Accent is a great value, with more options than what you'd get on a comparably priced Ford Fiesta, Honda Fit, Toyota Yaris or Mazda2.

Liberty Bell Sessions takes Philly artists outside of city limits (kicking off at Studio 34 tonight)
So many times, great song writers get stuck in their hometown or the city where they started performing. Many times, it's because they don't have the funds or support needed to showcase anywhere else. Some have day jobs. Others have families to support. But you always notice them when they open for a band you like, or catch them at your favorite venue. These artists always have dedication, animation, and passion to pull off a great performance with carefully crafted talents.
Liberty Bell Sessions is a project created to get Philadelphia artists out of their locality and in front of a wider audience. "I am constantly amazed by the quality and power of songs that come out of Philadelphia. I think it's something in the water," says creator of the project, Ross Bellenoit. "Even when I moved to Philadelphia back in 2003, I was in awe of how many great songwriters there were in this fair city of ours."
The idea came naturally through a conversation with Club Passim's (in Cambridge, MA) owner, Matt Smith. Originally Bellenoit was being asked to come back and play a set after being featured on one of Peter Mulvey's Lamplighter Sessions last November. It was his suggestion to get other Philadelphia artists on the bill with him that got the wheels turning. "After being on the road for several years, I was always pining to bring these great contemporary songs out to the rest of the world." Bellenoit ran with the idea after Smith coined the term "Liberty Bell Sessions".
"We want to present each other's songs in ways that are new to each of us. Since we all have our own projects and people that we play with, this new environment lends to more spontaneous and fresh collaborative ideas for each other's songs." Continue reading →

|Singled out as one of the best artists Australia offers the world, Dick Watkins's extraordinary critical reputation is not yet reflected in his prices, writes Carrie Lumby.
|It is an understatement that American art critic Clement Greenberg, the internationally acclaimed doyenne of high art modernist critique, is out of favour in contemporary art theory circles. Nevertheless, when still highly influential in the early 60s, after surveying Australian art, he singled out one Australian artist as the best this country had to offer.
High praise from one of the high priests of modernism. Interestingly a cursory survey of people educated in Australian art history reveals that few know which artist to pin this praise to.
Dick Watkins is that artist. For some, Greenberg's statement would have been enough to elevate Watkins to the status of the great masters of Anglo-Australian art along the lines of Nolan, Boyd, Fairweather and Olsen. What continues to perplex the many staunch supporters of the belief in Watkins's significance as a major figure in the landscape of Australian painting however is that he, arguably more than any other living artist in this country, has not been publicly and, in particular, commercially, recognised as such.
There are perhaps a number of reasons for this. Let's look at two. Watkins is not and has never been by any accounts, as we now say, a networker. He is an artist's artist in the traditional sense. When asked about his work he is often tentative and introverted, or when pressed, given to making elusive statements such as: "I don't know what it is, I just paint", and "All you can do is your best. And often politics fouls the paint."
What separates him from his contemporaries and marks him as a modernist artist who has influenced a much younger generation of conceptual artists is his deceptively slapdash capacity to get the paint down hard and fast. As one of the many younger generational Australian artists who spoke with me put it: "He just puts the paint on the canvas – and then he works very quickly and he doesn't waste a mark."
More importantly from an art historical point of view, as an abstractionist (although certainly not exclusively) working in a country where the textbooks suggest that one of the criterion for great Australian art is that it tells a story about the antipodean experience in a literal, figurative sense, conventional wisdom often fails to recognise that abstraction is an equally powerful aesthetic language in itself.
Of course, this perspective of Australian art is just that: a perspective. There are many in the art community, past and present, who have argued that the traditional story of Australian art has failed to understand the place of abstraction and the more sophisticated modes of figuration that Watkins's work proposes in the dominant narrative told about our culture and that this failure is reflected in the lack of credit given to major artists like Watkins.
For Watkins, abstraction is a language of feeling which, for him, is the basis of art as a form of communication. Contemplating his pictures, there is a sense that each seemingly arbitrary flick or slash of the brush reveals a spontaneous yet carefully mastered capacity with the medium – particularly in his rare ability to mesh colour and form, or colour as form, in unique ways. At its best, the cumulative effect of his uncompromising gestures congeals into an image whose meaning is greater than the sum of its parts.
Watkins's oeuvre is of course not reducible to his abstractionist reputation. He has flirted with figuration throughout his career and was also considered a leader of colour-field painting. As Chris Chapman, curator, writer and lecturer at Australian National University, and a leading expert in the more avant guard end of contemporary Australian art for more than a decade, puts it: "The interesting thing about Watkins's work is that he has a sophisticated understanding of the realist tradition of landscape and figurative art. And uniquely, has also developed an entirely original approach to abstraction which challenges the conventional understandings of abstract art which have often been related to pure formalism."
Watkins was born in Sydney in 1937. In keeping with his iconoclastic personality, he was to a large extent an autodidact, attending only the occasional art class in Sydney in the 1950s. To further his own, self-taught style of art education, he has travelled extensively over his long career, beginning with a trip to Europe in the late 50s and returning to Australia via the USA in 1961. His first solo exhibition in Australia in 1963 was held at Barry Stern Gallery, Sydney. In the 60s he showed internationally as well as here.
During his time in Australia in the 60s he become known as a pioneer of colour-field painting, marked by his inclusion in the ground-breaking group exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria, The Field, in the late 60s.
In the 70s he travelled again, basing himself in Hong Kong between 1974 and 1979 while continuing to travel throughout Europe during this period. Rather than excavating the Australian history of the landscape tradition he felt the need to go back to the fundamentals of figurative landscape, and in order to centre his landscape, visited the places from which Turner and Corot, amongst others, had sought inspiration.
As the pre-eminent antipodean art theorist Bernard Smith wrote of Watkins in his seminal text on Australian art Australian Painting 1788 – 1990: "The desire for continuous experiment with new styles and the styles of the recent past has remained with him."
Returning to Australia on a permanent basis in the 1980s he was represented for over a decade by Yuill/Crowley Gallery, Sydney. A high point during this period was his appointment as the Australian representative at the XVII Beinal de Sao Paulo in Brasil in 1985.
In the early 1990s the National Gallery of Victoria mounted a major survey of Watkins's work entitled Dick Watkins in Context. The exhibition was accompanied by a monograph by Mary Eagle which situated Watkins in the pantheon of Australian art.
It was around this time that James Erskine, currently director of Liverpool Street Gallery, proposed a commercial relationship that wasn't focussed on regular exhibitions but was more akin to the old-fashioned notion of patronage – that suited Watkins's prodigious output and secured his ability to approach his practice in the way he always has – as an artist who is continually making work on a day-to-day basis, without an audience in mind.
In short, from a collector's perspective Watkins is the embodiment of the cliché: he is an artist to watch. This overused phrase is usually attached to emerging artists but is rarely so true of an artist of Watkins's stature. There is no doubt his work remains undervalued.
John Dwyer, Director of Australian Art for Christie's auction house, reinforces the idea that Watkins is not only significant from an historical viewpoint but is also one of the few critically acclaimed living Australian artists whose work has lots of room to move in the marketplace. He says: "Undoubtedly Watkins is one of Australia's leading artists. He is held in high acclaim in academic circles but unfortunately has been undervalued in the commercial market of auction. Without hesitation I would recommend potential collectors having a close look at this artist as there will be a renewed and a well overdue adjustment in his prices."
Chapman backs up this view: "There is respect for Watkins within the art museum world – he is highly regarded as a major figure in Australian art and should be reconsidered in the market place in light of this."
Watkins has been collected by most state museums in Australia and the Australian National Gallery, as well as a number of major corporate and private collections here and overseas, including the prestigious Mertz collection in the USA.
He is currently represented by Liverpool Gallery Street, Sydney but continues to show nationally. Tolarno Galleries, Melbourne recently held a survey show of his work which included two paintings from the early 90s which were very modestly priced at between $20,000 – $30,000. Watkins's work is also held by a number of secondary dealers, particularly in Sydney.

the inchworm that fell
from half way up the pine
in the field
by the barn
into my open mouth
as I scanned the sky
for oriels.
I ran all the way
sure I would die
sure I swallowed him
In those days I was sure
of one thing: death.
I was sure it waited
in quiet fields
nestled between the tall
thin trunks of pines
and under rocks
beneath the bellies of
I saw the possibility
of the absence of
all things
in all things.
In the beauty of a moment,
the baby sparrow landing
so near
my seven-year-old fingers
I touched him,
the sweet stained
smell of the manure pile
and the dust from the
curry comb
after grooming.
In all my moments
loss waited,
All the poetry that fits we print.

Nothing eventful happened today, so I thought I might talk about dreams.
I find dreams fascinating, that's why I'm interested in psychology as well. It's incredible to me how your mind can create such a big world without you being conscious. I remember a few dreams I had for example, where I went into a rocket ship with Darth Vader (dreams are weird) and I saw out the window a wide, open planet filled with snow, a lighthouse and so on. In more detail I dreamed of a temple and how it was like a maze before Sherlock came and kidnapped me (yup, like I said, dreams are weird).
I'm fortunate enough to be lucid a lot of the time. Because of that, ever since I was young, I trained myself to fly in my dreams. When I was younger, I used to flap my arms to fly, but with years of practice, I can now fly with just my mind. It brought me to the conclusion that dreams are like a second world to me that simply changes every night, unless you have a reoccurring dream.
It's because of this that I have been keeping a dream journal ever since—the beginning of ninth grade? So over a year. I'm going to share one (but with grammar fixes, since I write it right when I wake up so I don't forget). Before I do, it's weird feeling when you read them and don't remember the dream. Oh, and I recommend keeping one, because it helps you remember dreams and become lucid in your dreams more often, sometimes they become very vivid, so much in fact I had a dream Canada was at war and I was in the car, saying how real the car felt.
Anyway, here's a nightmare I love to share with people that was the result of being into creepy pasta for 7th and 8th grade :
I once was in front of my parking lot, alone at night. The car wasn't there, giving me a good view of the other side of the street. A woman with long blonde hair was pushing a pink stroller on the other side of the street on the sidewalk (but I don't have a sidewalk there) until she noticed I saw her and abandoned her baby, running after me with a knife. I woke up before she could touch me, but she was still inches away from my face. I then went back to sleep again, the same scenario playing. This time the woman was already running after me and it was an Asian woman with long, but shorter black hair. I woke up, annoyed, but went back to sleep. This time it was the same Asian woman as before, but two headed and was already halfway towards me. I woke up again, very annoyed at this happening over and over, but I went back to sleep anyway. It was still night time, but this time I was in my parent's room, facing the front street, which doesn't make sense since my room is the one that faces the front street. My brother was playing with my cousin on his computer and my parents said they're going to bed, so they left for the bathroom or something. I looked out the window to the front street—Bad. Idea. The blonde woman from the first time was there and then that's when I realized I was in a nightmare and must back away. So I looked away to the dark corner of the room and there she was. She ran after me, but I woke up before she could touch me. This time I was done and I didn't care if I was thirteen, I went to slept in my parent's bed, since it always stop nightmares. I wasn't exactly scared afterwards, it's just waking up over and over was annoying since you couldn't sleep.
That's all for today.

Late report from the weekend...Nothing big...lots of 15-16" bass on small Rebels, Bombers, and some shrimp-type flies as teasers. That was Saturday night...bright moon and almost no surf. J u s t. b a r e l y retrieving seemed to get the most hits. Sunday just before dark got 3 more on a bucktail jig, a Tsunami sandeel, and Gotcha teaser fly. Even got a double header each day. Lots of fun...definitely beats getting skunked.

When one is looking into financial markets, there are a lot of elements which need consideration. One of those elements is predators. Think of it like bottom feeders in the ocean. The smart ones are going to follow the swarming sharks and get a lucrative fallout after the frenzy. Well, in finances, bottom feeders and predators are going to go where the money's relatively certain, and relatively easy. Kyle Bass is a financier notorious for just this kind of thing. In fact, when one examines his actual career, it doesn't seem like there's very much he's done that hasn't been profit at the expense of another party. His activity very much matches that of a bottom feeder, though he's in a high profile "bottom".
Consider Bass' roots internationally. A man with Argentinian heritage, http://usefulstooges.com/2015/08/24/kyle-bass-the-frantic-investments-of-a-desperate-gambler/ says that Bass became well known in 2008 when he predicted that sub-prime lending practices in American housing markets would eventually lead to an economic collapse with far-reaching implications. This prediction turned out to be one that was accurate, though many subsequent predictions Bass has made ended up missing the mark entirely. It doesn't matter though, as having predicted a historical event, Bass is pretty much vetted perpetually. He certainly knows his position, and certainly uses it to effect stock market manipulations when he can.
One of the greatest examples of Bass' market manipulations comes in the form of CAD, the Coalition for Affordable Drugs. While the organization is ostensibly humanitarian, the fallout of its practices are decidedly negative to the human race, meaning Bass' impetus to start CAD probably has nothing to do with empathy, charity, or anything reasonably humane. In fact, it's likely that Bass started CAD because his own hedge fund performs so poorly. Since his 2008 prediction, it's continually under-performed other hedge funds of the same kind that already had mediocre reputations. CAD would seem to be an excellent way to rectify such damage and obtain positive PR to boot. When one looks deeper into CAD, though, the picture becomes sickening.
CAD forces big-ticket pharmaceutical organizations to decrease what they sell their medicine for. In the end, the stock value of those companies plummets, and Kyle Bass short sells his holdings with them. He gets away with millions while the companies have to cut funding to departments like Research and Development so their bottom line is preserved, and progressive discoveries are curtailed.
This is the Kyle Bass component: in any financial system will be manipulators like him who creep under the stock market feeding frenzy looking for scraps. Bass is dangerous not only because of his unethical practices, however; he's also dangerous for his involvement with socialist president of Argentina Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, who is likely informing his every move. When factoring in the Kyle Bass component, don't forget his socialist attachments.

about the author
As a farmer's daughter, and then for many years a farmer's wife, Sharon Sala began writing because she hated her job, but it was the love of the craft that kept her writing. Her first attempts were stuffed under her bed to be forgotten in the hustle and bustle of life with a growing family. It wasn't until the tragic losses of two close family members that she vowed to follow through on her earlier dreams of writing. She joined writers groups and attended conferences to learn the craft. In 1989, she was ready to write a full-length novel. That novel was Sara's Angel, her first.
She has continued to write and delight her fans ever since. Her books repeatedly make the bestseller lists, including those of The New York Times, USA TODAY, Publishers Weekly, and the Waldenbooks mass market fiction list, and she's been nominated for a RITA® Award seven times. She claims that writing has changed her life, her world and her fate.

E3 – 'Powers' Show Coming to Playstation 4 This December
Published on
Part of yesterday's Sony E3 2014 press conference was dedicated to its push into original programming, and comic book writer Brian Michael Bendis was on hand to introduce the adaptation of his comic book "Powers". He announced the series would be coming to the Playstation Network this December, and that casting and production are underway. "Powers" is about two private investigators that deal with superhero crimes.
Powers, the TV show, has a tumultuous history. A pilot was shot in 2011 for FX, then scrapped, then it stayed in development hell until it was picked up by Sony earlier this year. It's a bit worrying that a show that'll premiere 6 months from now hasn't been cast, but let's hope they do well.

La Liga Preview: Pair out to put pressure on Real
Atletico Madrid and Barcelona can both heap pressure on Real Madrid as the three-way race for the La Liga title enters its final month.
Real, currently second and sandwiched between Atletico and Barca, have had their fixture with Real Vallodolid postponed due to their commitments in the Copa del Rey and UEFA Champions League.
That game will now take place on May 6, meaning leaders Atleti can move six points clear at the top - for 48 hours at least - with victory over 15th-placed Elche on Friday.
Diego Simeone's men are La Liga's form side at present, with a run of seven consecutive wins - during which they have conceded just once - putting them in pole position for a first top-flight crown since 1996.
Their Liga record at the Vicente Calderon is near-perfect this season, with 14 wins and three draws from their 17 home games, but they may have to manage without Diego Costa, who has scored 26 league goals this season.
The talismanic striker sustained a nasty cut to his left leg when colliding with the post while scoring the second goal in their 2-0 win at Getafe last Sunday.
Praying for wobble from the leaders are champions Barca, who sit three points adrift in second and must recover from the disappointment of losing the Copa final to fierce rivals Real on Wednesday just a week after being knocked out of the Champions League by Atleti.
Gerardo Martino's team fell to a surprise 1-0 Liga defeat at Granada in between those defeats, and they face another stiff test on Sunday, with Champions League hopefuls Athletic Bilbao visiting Camp Nou aiming to increase their prospects of a top-four finish.
They currently occupy the all-important fourth spot, and hold a six-point lead over fifth-placed Sevilla, who are at home to what is sure to be a buoyant Granada outfit on Sunday.
A run of two wins from eight league matches looks to have ended Villarreal's chances of qualifying for Europe's premier club competition, with Marcelino's charges now facing a battle to earn a UEFA Europa League berth.
They visit Malaga on Monday, but may have already been usurped in the top six by that point by Real Sociedad, who host Espanyol two days earlier.
At the wrong end of the table, Valladolid's inactivity means bottom-placed Real Betis' relegation cannot be confirmed this weekend, regardless of their result when they travel to Rayo Vallecano on Sunday.
The two teams above them in the drop zone, Almeria and Getafe, take on Celta Vigo and Levante respectively while elsewhere, 16th-placed Osasuna entertain Valencia.

The Bad Cop of MoNoWriMo
MoNo…. What? MoWriMo is the local version for NaNoWriMo which stands for National Novel Writing Month, check it out here – http://nanowrimo.org.
During NaNoWriMo which takes place in November, people accept the challenge of writing 50,000 words of a novel in a month. That's 1,613 words a day for 31 days.
Not interested in writing a novel? That's not a problem. Here in Montrose the goal is to challenge yourself and write. For some people this is four poems for the month, some want 50,000 words, others are writing memoirs, some are just writing for a certain amount of time every day. It's a challenge- whatever that means for you.
It is for anyone who wants to participate, doesn't matter if you are published, unpublished, newbi to writing or an old hat.
Why do this? Danielle Kemper, a life coach and psychotherapist came to the library to help us out, and to share some of the benefits and insights she discovered when she challenged herself to NaNoWriMo in November. Here is what she discovered:
- it will change how you write
- how you view your craft
- your daily life
- makes you disciplined in your writing
All of which means you don't have to wait for your muse to find you, you find your muse.
Danielle has appointed herself the "Bad Cop" of MoNoWriMo, for when we need tough encouragement to get through this and offered insights to help us succeed in our goals.
"Busy people get more done. Push yourself!" She gave us the following tips:
- Make a schedule for your writing time
- Get support- tell your friends what you are doing, your fellow writers
- Make yourself accountable
- Find a space to write
- This is not about the perfect novel, it is getting it all on paper, edit it later. For now you want the word count-and that means that yes, you can use the two little words "the end."
- "Through discipline you find your muse," Danielle told us
It's a huge challenge, you are going beyond what you normally write. Meg Nogle at the Montrose Colorado library helps out with the schedule and a place to write. She has dedicated us time and a space to write at the library. No need to RSVP, just show up.
Convinced you can do this now? Great! Sign up with Meg, the good cop. She has pledge sheets and a Rhino for you to put on the MoNoWriNo map; complete with The Yellow Brick Road, The Juicy Plot Jungle, Lake Long Ago, and many other places that you may hang out or avoid completely. You can apply it to whatever you are working on.
On February 4th the open mic night, you can get your reward- a rhino (food NOT included, neither are batteries). And the feeling of success.
Good things come to people who wait, but better things come to those who go out and get them. ~Anonymous

Chewing tobacco
Chewing tobacco is a type of smokeless tobacco product consumed by placing a portion of the tobacco between the cheek and gum or upper lip teeth and chewing. Unlike dipping tobacco, it is not ground and must be manually crushed with the teeth to release flavor and nicotine. Unwanted juices are then expectorated (spat). Chewing tobacco is typically manufactured as several varieties of product – most often as loose leaf (or scrap), pellets (tobacco "bites" or "bits"), and "plug" (a form of loose leaf tobacco condensed with a binding sweetener). Nearly all modern chewing tobaccos are produced via a process of leaf curing, cutting, fermentation and processing or sweetening. Historically, many American chewing tobacco brands (which were popular during the American Civil War era) were made with cigar clippings. Chewing is one of the oldest methods of consuming tobacco. Native Americans in both North and South America chewed the leaves of the plant, frequently mixed with the mineral lime. Chewing tobacco was the most prevalent form of tobacco use in the United States until it was overtaken by cigarette smoking in the early 20th century. Chewing is one of the oldest ways of consuming tobacco leaves. Native Americans in both North and South America chewed the leaves of the plant, frequently mixed with the mineral lime.[citation needed] In Alaska, the use of "Punk Ash" has been used with chewing tobacco for well over 100 years. The fungus "Phillinus Igniarius", found on the paper birch trees, was burned down to an ash and mixed with the tobacco. The Punk Ash changed the Ph or Alkalinity of the tobacco so that the nicotine could be more readily absorbed into the bloodstream. This was, in essence, freebasing nicotine, giving the user an immediate "high" comparable to the first time use one gets from chewing tobacco, every time. The southern United States was distinctive for its production of tobacco, which earned premium prices from around the world. Most farmers grew a little for their own use, or traded with neighbors who grew it. Commercial sales became important in the late 19th century as major tobacco companies rose in the South, becoming one of the largest employers in cities like Winston-Salem, NC, Durham, NC and Richmond, VA. Southerners dominated the tobacco industry in the United States; even a concern as large as the Helm Tobacco Company, headquartered in New Jersey, was headed by former Confederate officer George Washington Helme. In 1938 R.J. Reynolds marketed eighty-four brands of chewing tobacco, twelve brands of smoking tobacco, and the top-selling Camel brand of cigarettes. Reynolds sold large quantities of chewing tobacco, though that market peaked about 1910. A historian of t
e American South in the late 1860s reported on typical usage in the region where it was grown, paying close attention to class and gender: " The chewing of tobacco was well-nigh universal. This habit had been widespread among the agricultural population of America both North and South before the war. Soldiers had found the quid a solace in the field and continued to revolve it in their mouths upon returning to their homes. Out of doors where his life was principally led the chewer spat upon his lands without offence to other men, and his homes and public buildings were supplied with spittoons. Brown and yellow parabolas were projected to right and left toward these receivers, but very often without the careful aim which made for cleanly living. Even the pews of fashionable churches were likely to contain these familiar conveniences. The large numbers of Southern men, and these were of the better class (officers in the Confederate army and planters, worth $20,000 or more, and barred from general amnesty) who presented themselves for the pardon of President Johnson, while they sat awaiting his pleasure in the ante-room at the White House, covered its floor with pools and rivulets of their spittle. An observant traveller in the South in 1865 said that in his belief seven-tenths of all persons above the age of twelve years, both male and female, used tobacco in some form. Women could be seen at the doors of their cabins in their bare feet, in their dirty one-piece cotton garments, their chairs tipped back, smoking pipes made of corn cobs into which were fitted reed stems or goose quills. Boys of eight or nine years of age and half-grown girls smoked. Women and girls "dipped" in their houses, on their porches, in the public parlours of hotels and in the streets. " Chewing tobacco is still sometimes used, predominantly by young white males in some rural parts of the American Southeast, but also more rarely in other areas and age groups. In September 2006 both the Republican and Democratic candidates for Senator from Virginia admitted to chewing tobacco and agreed that it sets a bad example for children. In the late 19th century, during the peak in popularity of chewing tobacco in the Western United States, a device known as the spittoon was a ubiquitous feature throughout places both private and public (e.g. parlours and passenger cars). The purpose of the spittoon was to provide a receptacle for excess juices and spittle accumulated from the oral use of tobacco. As chewing tobacco's popularity declined throughout the years, the spittoon became merely a relic of the Old West and is rarely seen outside museums. To this very day, spittoons are still present on the floor of the U.S. Senate.
