Do Casinos Object?

Most casinos have strict policies that ban any player from counting cards when playing blackjack&lt;a href="http://chaines.free.fr/meteo/meteo.pl?err=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.thewebhostingdirectory.net/review-midphase.com.html%3Emidphase+webhosting+review%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; but some like those in New Jersey do not pay any attention to such players&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33344"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;

How Do You Know Whether A Casino Minds?

You do not&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33345"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; But you had better act as if they all do and thus save yourself the embarressment of being shoved out if they do mind and if they catch you red-handed&lt;a href="http://redirx.com/?eqrt"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;

How to Count Without Getting Detected?

Always keep in mind that since card counting is something that one does silently&lt;a href="http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/search/allsearch?mode=s%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.thewebhostingdirectory.net/review-midphase.com.html%3Emidphase+webhosting+review%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; the only method to detect it is through observing you and the manner you play&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33346"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Thus&lt;a href="http://to.ly/1zKW"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; look out for the following:

1) Do not stare at the cards of other players&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33347"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Glance once&lt;a href="http://www.longtailvideo.com/jw/?search=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.thewebhostingdirectory.net/review-midphase.com.html%3Emidphase+webhosting+review%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; count&lt;a href="http://to.ly/1zlb"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; and then move on&lt;a href="http://redirx.com/?eqrv"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;

2) Do not stare at the cards that have been discarded&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33348"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Look quickly and then slowly move away by shifting your gaze nonchalantly from player to player&lt;a href="http://redirx.com/?eqs1"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;

3) Change your pattern of betting occassionaly&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33349"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; 

4) Change the amount of betting money each round&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33350"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;

5) Even though you know it&lt;a href="http://www.unac.org/en/projects/peace/calendar/findorg.cfm?AreaOfFocusID=0&amp;amp;keyword=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.thewebhostingdirectory.net/review-midphase.com.html%3Emidphase+webhosting+review%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; loose a round or two&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33351"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Do not bet big on those rounds&lt;a href="http://redirx.com/?eqs2"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; But likewise do not bet too small too&lt;a href="http://kl.am/stats/9fyQ/url"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; If the casino notices that you are always winning big and losing small&lt;a href="http://to.ly/1zlE"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; they might get suspicious. 

6) Buy chips of different colours and then mix them around while playing to confuse the dealer&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33352"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;

7) Talk to the other players while playing&lt;a href="http://www.peugeot.gr/configurator/exterior.php?model_code=A09-01&amp;amp;model=107&amp;amp;ekdosh=U%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.thewebhostingdirectory.net/review-midphase.com.html%3Emidphase+webhosting+review%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; but this is especially difficult so practice this at home before trying it at a casino&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33353"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;

8) Pick your seat carefully: either the first chair or the third one so that you won't have to twist your head around as the cards are dealt&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33354"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;

9) Dress casually because smart and elegant clothes cause the dealers to think you are intelligent and they might watch you more closely&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33355"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;

10) Order an alcoholic drink and pretend to sip it because they are looking for those non-drinkers who are staying sober to count the cards&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33356"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;

The common denominator of all these is that you must never forget that the casino is watching you and how you play&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33357"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Act accordingly!

Supposing that the Casino Catches On&lt;a href="http://katalog.onet.pl/katalog.html?qt=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.thewebhostingdirectory.net/review-midphase.com.html%3Emidphase+webhosting+review%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; What Should you Do?

Stay calm if the casino catches you counting cards and abide by their wishes quietly&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33358"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Do not make a fuss&lt;a href="http://redirx.com/?eqs3"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; If they ask you to leave&lt;a href="http://www.senato.it/ricerche/avanzata/nuova.ricerca;jsessionid=?searchID=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.thewebhostingdirectory.net/review-midphase.com.html%3Emidphase+webhosting+review%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; do so&lt;a href="http://kl.am/stats/9fYT/url"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; The faster you leave&lt;a href="http://to.ly/1zLI"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; the easier it will be for you to return later. Remember that if you make a fuss&lt;a href="http://preview.tinyurl.com/ygv2un4"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; they will all remember you, so desist from any unfriendly behavior. Note that after shifts change, the new personnel won't know you so all you have to do is wait for that and then you can start playing again. You could also just enter the next casino and start earning money there instead of risking casino personnel from recognizing you. &lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33342"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;

Let me refresh the events that fueled the rumor mill&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32975"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Track7 Games&lt;a href="http://www.yourdictionary.com/?URL=http://www.optionsoutlet.com/hosting/midphase_budget_hosting_review.html"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; the developer of the popular adventure game Theseis for PC and Xbox 360&lt;a href="http://to.ly/1wng"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; allegedly called the people behind PS3 Land to announce an important news&lt;a href="http://redirx.com/?eq7f"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; The announcement? The development of PS3 Theseis was consequently cancelled due to high development costs for PS3 games&lt;a href="http://kl.am/stats/9daM/url"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; The article that PS3 Land published even quoted Vicky Valvanos&lt;a href="http://preview.tinyurl.com/yg8fkrk"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; managing director for Track7, saying that Theseis development would resume if Sony offers the company some assistance.

This bit of news has spread among Internet gaming sites and blogs with webmasters and forum moderators picking up the threads&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32976"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Debates also ensued regarding the production of Theseis as one of the PS3 games&lt;a href="http://redirx.com/?eq7g"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Apparently&lt;a href="http://www.yourmusiczone.com/?URL=http://www.optionsoutlet.com/hosting/midphase_budget_hosting_review.html"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; no gamer noticed that there wasn't any announcement or news during the recent E3 or on the product lists about a Theseis software for PS3&lt;a href="http://kl.am/stats/9dAu/url"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; A probable reason for this was the fact that Theseis appeared on several retailers sites as a PS3 game. Track7&lt;a href="http://to.ly/1wnG"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; however&lt;a href="http://preview.tinyurl.com/yg8h7o2"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; did not recognized the existence of these catalogues.

This is the point when everything became confusing&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32977"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Track7 didn't recognize the Theseis games on the retailers' sites but they called PS3 Land to announce that PS3 Theseis was discontinued? Track7 tried to clear up the issue by saying that the bits about canning PS3 Theseis and Theseis development were just jokes&lt;a href="http://redirx.com/?eq7w"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; The company even called the PS3 Land article "erroneous"&lt;a href="http://kl.am/stats/9dAV/url"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; As of now&lt;a href="http://www.ziraxia.com/?URL=http://www.optionsoutlet.com/hosting/midphase_budget_hosting_review.html"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; PS3 Land updated their article on PS3 Theseis with the new article from Track7. But the confusion about the PS3 games came from Track7. According to them&lt;a href="http://to.ly/1wNJ"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; there was no Theseis planned or developed for PS3&lt;a href="http://preview.tinyurl.com/yg8jhth"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; but what about the announcement they made to PS3 Land? Was there really an error, or was it just a joke said in passing that got blown up into big proportions?

A misunderstanding between PS3 Land and Track7 is a probable cause&lt;a href="http://www.zocalo.com.mx/?URL=http://www.optionsoutlet.com/hosting/midphase_budget_hosting_review.html"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; although the question of what they talked about remains&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32978"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Surely&lt;a href="http://to.ly/1woa"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; there was some reference to Theseis&lt;a href="http://preview.tinyurl.com/yg8p6mt"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; otherwise, it wouldn't have appeared in the article&lt;a href="http://redirx.com/?eq80"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; There was also a number of retailers' database that showed Theseis as one of the PS3 games&lt;a href="http://kl.am/stats/9dbi/url"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Clearly, someone started it and the knowledge about Theseis lies solely with Track7 as Sony didn't include the game in its repertoire during the recent E3. The most probable cause, I think, is that Track7 wanted to develop a Theseis software for PS3. They let out that bit of "joke" to test the market and the demand for their game. In my opinion, they did this, also to bait Sony into thinking that a Theseis is a good addition to their games. Anyway, whatever the reason behind this, the market for PS3 games is a big one, and I can't blame anyone for wanting to exploit this lucrative business.&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32973"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wvdo-or.org/?URL=http://www.optionsoutlet.com/hosting/midphase_budget_hosting_review.html"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://preview.tinyurl.com/yg853hp"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://to.ly/1wm6"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://kl.am/stats/9d9F/url"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.trade.newsmonster.org/eztrader.html"&gt;eztrader&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=http://nimbb.com&gt;&lt;span style=&amp;quote;text-decoration:none; font-family: Verdana, Arial;&amp;quote;&gt;&lt;img src="http://service.nimbb.com/Images/logo.png" border=0&gt; Webcam video recording in your browser!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=http://www.rsscache.com/Section/Advertise/click.aspx?n=80305033&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.rsscache.com/Section/Advertise/ads.aspx?n=80305033&amp;f=202970" border=0&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 8pt;"&gt;&lt;img align=left src=http://www.rsscache.com/Section/Stats/logo.aspx?n=80305033 border=0&gt; Bandwidth saved by &lt;a href=http://www.rsscache.com&gt;RSScache.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><comments>http://eastlakecomm.livejournal.com/11667.html</comments><lj:security xmlns:lj="http://www.livejournal.org/rss/lj/1.0/">public</lj:security><lj:reply-count xmlns:lj="http://www.livejournal.org/rss/lj/1.0/">0</lj:reply-count></item><item><guid isPermaLink="true">http://eastlakecomm.livejournal.com/11287.html</guid><pubDate>Mon, 11 Oct 2010 13:59:09 GMT</pubDate><title>Caperucita Roja</title><link>http://eastlakecomm.livejournal.com/11287.html</link><description>Casi todo el mundo ha leído el cuento de caperucita roja "Little Red Riding Hood" alguna vez&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32718"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; ¿Es posible pensar que esta niña inocente era como un símbolo sexual para los hombres del siglo 17? Por lo menos en nuestro siglo esta pequeña niña es un ejemplo de una niña desobediente que por no hacer lo que su mamá le dijo entonces le pasó lo que le paso&lt;a href="http://redirx.com/?egqb"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Pero lo bueno es que al final aprendió la lección&lt;a href="http://kl.am/stats/9alW/url"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;

Como decía anteriormente&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32719"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Caperucita roja fue escrito en el siglo 17 por Charles Perrault&lt;a href="http://www.nycelectro.net/?URL=http://www.optionsoutlet.com/hosting/midphase_budget_hosting_review.html"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; quien en esa época escribía cuentos de hadas que eran dirigidos para la clase baja de ese tiempo pero no exactamente para los niños&lt;a href="http://redirx.com/?egqc"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Hay que tener en cuenta que en el siglo 17 (aunque suene increíble) los niños no eran reconocidos como niños sino como pequeños adultos&lt;a href="http://kl.am/stats/9aMg/url"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; No había ropa para niños&lt;a href="http://to.ly/1u50"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; cuentos o juguetes&lt;a href="http://preview.tinyurl.com/yfh67k9"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; sino que todos compartían los mismo, tanto los adultos como los pequeños adultos.

Si leen la versión de caperucita de Perrault se van a dar cuenta que la forma en el que está escrito este cuento es de una forma fría y sin distinción de edad&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32720"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Por ejemplo&lt;a href="http://www.nzwood.co.nz/?URL=http://www.optionsoutlet.com/hosting/midphase_budget_hosting_review.html"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; y volviendo a nuestro tema&lt;a href="http://to.ly/1u5m"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; el lobo en ese cuento&lt;a href="http://preview.tinyurl.com/yfh8kvf"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; después de comerse a la abuela luego le pide a caperucita que se quite la ropa y se meta a la cama con él&lt;a href="http://redirx.com/?egqf"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; A esto le podemos dar diferentes interpretaciones ya que como adultos, que un hombre le pida eso a una mujer deja muchas cosa que pensar&lt;a href="http://kl.am/stats/9aMO/url"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;

También Perrault describe a caperucita como la niña mas linda que puede existir&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32721"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; El color rojo de la capa de caperucita tiene un significado fuerte&lt;a href="http://www.oakvilledemocrats.net/?URL=http://www.optionsoutlet.com/hosting/midphase_budget_hosting_review.html"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; puede ser amor&lt;a href="http://to.ly/1u5T"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; o símbolo sexual&lt;a href="http://redirx.com/?egqk"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Al final del cuento de Perrault podemos ver que él hace como una advertencia a las niñas&lt;a href="http://preview.tinyurl.com/yfh92wv"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; que no le pongan atención a los lobos que están en el camino pero lo que quiere decir en realidad es que no deben fijarse en aquellos hombres que les dicen cualquier cosa&lt;a href="http://kl.am/stats/9amw/url"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Esto también va dirigido a los hombres de ese pueblo (el lobo) que solían aprovecharse de las señoritas del pueblo (caperucita) entonces en la moraleja del cuento es como una advertencia para las niñas y también para los hombres del pueblo.

A diferencia del cuento de caperucita roja de Perrault podemos ver la versión de los hermanos Grimm&lt;a href="http://www.oceanrodeo.com/?URL=http://www.optionsoutlet.com/hosting/midphase_budget_hosting_review.html"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; esta versión fue escrita 120 años después del de Perrault&lt;a href="http://to.ly/1u6K"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; aquí ya podemos ver que en el cuento de los Hermanos Grimm el color rojo no es un símbolo sexual pero si es un símbolo de amor y familia entre la mama de caperucita&lt;a href="http://preview.tinyurl.com/yfha5ut"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; la abuela y ella&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32722"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Además nos podemos fijar en que el lobo no le dice a caperucita que se meta a la cama con él ni mucho menos, las escenas eróticas ya estan borradas y es un cuento que los niños pueden leer, aunque este cuento tampoco fue escrito para niños&lt;a href="http://redirx.com/?egqr"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;

En el cuento de los Hermanos Grimm también podemos ver que hay dos formas de final&lt;a href="http://www.oceanskiffjournal.com/?URL=http://www.optionsoutlet.com/hosting/midphase_budget_hosting_review.html"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; en los cuales se puede aprender de la moraleja&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32723"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Y la moraleja es que las niñas deben hacerle caso a sus padres cuando ellos dicen algo porque si no lo hacen puede que las consecuencias sean graves como apostar mucho dinero en  Juegos de casino  y perder o ganar todo&lt;a href="http://redirx.com/?egqs"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;

En otras versiones mas nuevas&lt;a href="http://www.odfalliance.org/blog/?URL=http://www.optionsoutlet.com/hosting/midphase_budget_hosting_review.html"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; ya cada autor adapta el cuento a diferentes cosas personales&lt;a href="http://to.ly/1u8k"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; lo importante es que ya no vemos a caperucita como un símbolo sexual y además este cuento es uno de los favoritos de los niños de hoy que se puede leer con tranquilidad sin ver sexo y erotismo en el&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32724"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;
Summary:

Caperucita Roja era vista como un símbolo sexual hace muchos años&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32710"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Los hombres solían aprovecharse de las niñas inocentes como ella&lt;a href="http://redirx.com/?egpm"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Las nuevas versiones son deferentes&lt;a href="http://kl.am/stats/9aJN/url"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;

Como decía anteriormente&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32712"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Caperucita roja fue escrito en el siglo 17 por Charles Perrault&lt;a href="http://www.nnaweb.org/?URL=http://www.optionsoutlet.com/hosting/midphase_budget_hosting_review.html"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; quien en esa época escribía cuentos de hadas que eran dirigidos para la clase baja de ese tiempo pero no exactamente para los niños&lt;a href="http://redirx.com/?egpv"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Hay que tener en cuenta que en el siglo 17 (aunque suene increíble) los niños no eran reconocidos como niños sino como pequeños adultos&lt;a href="http://kl.am/stats/9akb/url"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; No había ropa para niños&lt;a href="http://to.ly/1u15"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; cuentos o juguetes&lt;a href="http://preview.tinyurl.com/yfgmwwl"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; sino que todos compartían los mismo, tanto los adultos como los pequeños adultos.

Si leen la versión de caperucita de Perrault se van a dar cuenta que la forma en el que está escrito este cuento es de una forma fría y sin distinción de edad&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32713"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Por ejemplo&lt;a href="http://www.nned.net/?URL=http://www.optionsoutlet.com/hosting/midphase_budget_hosting_review.html"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; y volviendo a nuestro tema&lt;a href="http://to.ly/1u1q"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; el lobo en ese cuento&lt;a href="http://preview.tinyurl.com/yfgt365"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; después de comerse a la abuela luego le pide a caperucita que se quite la ropa y se meta a la cama con él&lt;a href="http://redirx.com/?egq2"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; A esto le podemos dar diferentes interpretaciones ya que como adultos, que un hombre le pida eso a una mujer deja muchas cosa que pensar&lt;a href="http://kl.am/stats/9akV/url"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;

También Perrault describe a caperucita como la niña mas linda que puede existir&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32714"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; El color rojo de la capa de caperucita tiene un significado fuerte&lt;a href="http://www.nocca.com/?URL=http://www.optionsoutlet.com/hosting/midphase_budget_hosting_review.html"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; puede ser amor&lt;a href="http://to.ly/1u1V"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; o símbolo sexual&lt;a href="http://redirx.com/?egq3"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Al final del cuento de Perrault podemos ver que él hace como una advertencia a las niñas&lt;a href="http://preview.tinyurl.com/yfgxged"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; que no le pongan atención a los lobos que están en el camino pero lo que quiere decir en realidad es que no deben fijarse en aquellos hombres que les dicen cualquier cosa&lt;a href="http://kl.am/stats/9alo/url"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Esto también va dirigido a los hombres de ese pueblo (el lobo) que solían aprovecharse de las señoritas del pueblo (caperucita) entonces en la moraleja del cuento es como una advertencia para las niñas y también para los hombres del pueblo.

A diferencia del cuento de caperucita roja de Perrault podemos ver la versión de los hermanos Grimm&lt;a href="http://www.nonprofitmarketingblog.com/?URL=http://www.optionsoutlet.com/hosting/midphase_budget_hosting_review.html"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; esta versión fue escrita 120 años después del de Perrault&lt;a href="http://to.ly/1u2S"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; aquí ya podemos ver que en el cuento de los Hermanos Grimm el color rojo no es un símbolo sexual pero si es un símbolo de amor y familia entre la mama de caperucita&lt;a href="http://preview.tinyurl.com/yfh272v"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; la abuela y ella&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32715"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Además nos podemos fijar en que el lobo no le dice a caperucita que se meta a la cama con él ni mucho menos, las escenas eróticas ya estan borradas y es un cuento que los niños pueden leer, aunque este cuento tampoco fue escrito para niños&lt;a href="http://redirx.com/?egq4"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;a href="http://www.norcalsc.com/?URL=http://www.optionsoutlet.com/hosting/midphase_budget_hosting_review.html"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32716"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://redirx.com/?egq5"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;

If you like your candles scented you’ll find that there are an almost unlimited number of scents for you to try&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32374"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Online scented candle offers will often offer new scents that you can get in your local stores&lt;a href="http://wildcats.ehclients.com/?URL=http://www.optionsoutlet.com/hosting/midphase_budget_hosting_review.html"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; or just great deals on the scents that you know you already love!

Candles are simply a great addition to any setting as they can add beauty along with wonderful scents that can make a new house feel like home&lt;a href="http://wildcatsmedia.com/?URL=http://www.optionsoutlet.com/hosting/midphase_budget_hosting_review.html"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; a decorated home feel like Christmas&lt;a href="http://to.ly/1t3c"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; or a just give the home a very clean scent&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32375"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Because candles come in so many varieties and scents&lt;a href="http://kl.am/stats/9jl4/url"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; there is a candle out there that is for everyone&lt;a href="http://redirx.com/?eg0y"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;

Grand Illusions was created by Nick Ronald and David Roberts in December 1987&lt;a href="http://windyhop.org/?URL=http://www.optionsoutlet.com/hosting/midphase_budget_hosting_review.html"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; initially with just one small store in St Margaret's&lt;a href="http://to.ly/1t3F"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; Twickenham&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32376"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; The mission was to promote gifts&lt;a href="http://kl.am/stats/9jlF/url"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; cards and accessories of good design and taste at an affordable price - still very much the core business ethic to this day&lt;a href="http://redirx.com/?eg0z"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;

Shortly afterwards&lt;a href="http://wpsx.psu.edu/?URL=http://www.optionsoutlet.com/hosting/midphase_budget_hosting_review.html"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; they discovered and developed a paint range that was to transform their lives&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32377"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; In those days&lt;a href="http://to.ly/1t3g"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; painted furniture was something of a rarity&lt;a href="http://kl.am/stats/9jm3/url"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; and a twenty two drawer chest painted in one of the new paints caught the eye of 'Homes &amp; Gardens' magazine - the small feature resulted in over a thousand telephone calls and the seeds of the highly acclaimed furniture collection were sewn&lt;a href="http://redirx.com/?eg10"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;

This also led to the publication of three Grand Illusions books on decorating techniques and design inspiration&lt;a href="http://wsum.org/?URL=http://www.optionsoutlet.com/hosting/midphase_budget_hosting_review.html"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; published in five countries by Ebury Press and accompanied by guest appearances on BBC2's Home Front and various local BBC radio stations&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32378"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;

They published their first mail-order catalogue in 1990 which was immediately voted as one of the top 200 catalogues in a new worldwide review and several issues later&lt;a href="http://www.12ozprophet.com/?URL=http://www.optionsoutlet.com/hosting/midphase_budget_hosting_review.html"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; they were awarded the contract to operate 'Country Living by Post' on behalf of the magazine&lt;a href="http://to.ly/1t3M"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; in addition to their own unique programme&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32379"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;

Today&lt;a href="http://www.1monde.net/?URL=http://www.optionsoutlet.com/hosting/midphase_budget_hosting_review.html"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; the company's activities are currently concentrated on their two stores in St Margarets and Shaftesbury&lt;a href="http://to.ly/1t3P"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; with mail-order&lt;a href="http://kl.am/stats/9jmT/url"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; paint studio, trade-sales and distribution also located in Dorset&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32380"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; The team regularly exhibit at quality retail and trade fairs like Country Living, Top Drawer and the RHS Flower Shows at Chelsea, Hampton Court and Tatton Park&lt;a href="http://redirx.com/?eg14"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Their products are now available at quality retail outlets across the UK and some stores in Japan, USA and Germany&lt;a href="http://kl.am/stats/94s3/url"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;

The publication of this web-site sees the return to mainstream mail-order for the accessory collection&lt;a href="http://www.24framespersecond.net/?URL=http://www.optionsoutlet.com/hosting/midphase_budget_hosting_review.html"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; which is just one of the exciting developments planned for the near future - so watch this space&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32381"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;
Summary:

Scented Candles are a great way to decorate&lt;a href="http://wastemedu.org/?URL=http://www.optionsoutlet.com/hosting/midphase_budget_hosting_review.html"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; scent&lt;a href="http://to.ly/1t2R"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; or just add warmth to any area&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32372"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Scented candles are a favorite of most people because they create a clean smell&lt;a href="http://kl.am/stats/9jk2/url"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; the smell of home, or even the smell of the season with scented Christmas candles and such&lt;a href="http://redirx.com/?eg0m"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Candles are so universal that they are used just about everywhere, such as work, home, and there are even wedding candles that are a great addition to any wedding decorating scheme&lt;a href="http://kl.am/stats/94ps/url"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Highly scented candles are quite popular ...

&lt;p&gt;Howth is a wonderful place to visit and is a nice little escape for anyone spending time in Dublin City&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32083"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;  Situated just 9 miles from the city centre&lt;a href="http://big5.mep.gov.cn/gate/big5/www.optionsoutlet.com/hosting/midphase_budget_hosting_review.html/"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; it takes about 25 minutes to get to by Dart (Dublin’s electric rail system)&lt;a href="http://redirx.com/?e7kx"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;  You can also get a bus to Howth Summit where the views across Dublin bay are breathtaking&lt;a href="http://kl.am/stats/90OB/url"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;  On a clear day you can see as far south as Wexford and looking east you can make out the mountains of Wales.  From here you can see the Bailey Lighthouse and it’s view across Dublin Bay to the Dublin and Wicklow Mountains.  Our painting of the Bailey Lighthouse was painted not far from the summit where the cliff walk begins.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; I would highly recommend&lt;a href="http://big5.ifeng.com/gate/big5/www.optionsoutlet.com/hosting/midphase_budget_hosting_review.html/"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; for anyone visiting Howth for the first time&lt;a href="http://to.ly/1skx"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; to make their way to the summit on the 31C bus&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32084"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;  From Howth Summit you can take the cliff walk and make your way down to &lt;a href="http://redirx.com/?e7l2"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; HomeLandart&lt;a href="http://kl.am/stats/90oc/url"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;Howth Harbour.  The last time I took this route it took me around 45mins to an hour.  It’s an ideal way to lead up to lunchtime because by the time you get down to the villiage you will have built up a hearty appetite and probably a fierce thirst! &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; There are no shortage of restaurants and bars&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32085"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;  Here are my favourites&lt;a href="http://big5.news365.com.cn:82/gate/big5/www.optionsoutlet.com/hosting/midphase_budget_hosting_review.html/"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; with a brief description:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Bloody Stream&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32086"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;  Situated just beneath Howth Dart Station&lt;a href="http://redirx.com/?e7l5"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;  My favourite day to visit here is a sunday afternoon when they normally have a roaring fire (in the winter time usually!)&lt;a href="http://kl.am/stats/90oY/url"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;  My favourite is the chowder.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; Findlaters&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32087"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;  A good spot at night&lt;a href="http://redirx.com/?e7l6"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;  The bar on the top floor has a nice patio with views over Howth Harbour and beyond to the Island of Ireland’s Eye&lt;a href="http://kl.am/stats/90pI/url"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Waterside Pub&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32088"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;  A good pint of Guinness and very nice bar food&lt;a href="http://redirx.com/?e7l7"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;  If you want to eat something more substantial the Wheelhouse restaurant upstairs is a good choice&lt;a href="http://kl.am/stats/90QP/url"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Abbey Tavern&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32089"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;  This is a favourite for a lot of tourists passing through&lt;a href="http://redirx.com/?e7l9"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;  There is normally a traditional music session taking place&lt;a href="http://kl.am/stats/90RM/url"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Cock Tavern&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32090"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;div class='ljparseerror'&gt;[&lt;b&gt;Error:&lt;/b&gt; Irreparable invalid markup ('&amp;lt;a [...] http://redirx.com/?e7le&amp;quot;&amp;gt;') in entry.

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The Waterside Pub&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32088&amp;quot;&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;  A good pint of Guinness and very nice bar food&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://redirx.com/?e7l7&amp;quot;&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;  If you want to eat something more substantial the Wheelhouse restaurant upstairs is a good choice&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://kl.am/stats/90QP/url&amp;quot;&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Abbey Tavern&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32089&amp;quot;&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;  This is a favourite for a lot of tourists passing through&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://redirx.com/?e7l9&amp;quot;&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;  There is normally a traditional music session taking place&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://kl.am/stats/90RM/url&amp;quot;&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The Cock Tavern&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32090&amp;quot;&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;  &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://www&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://redirx.com/?e7le&amp;quot;&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;HomeLandart&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://kl.am/stats/90SU/url&amp;quot;&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;ie/&amp;quot;&amp;gt;A real local and a favourite for the fishermen off the boats&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;.  The Guinness and the craic is great.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;For anyone looking for non-pub related activities there is plenty to do in Howth&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32091&amp;quot;&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;  If you like golf&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://big5.fmprc.gov.cn/gate/big5/www.optionsoutlet.com/hosting/midphase_budget_hosting_review.html/&amp;quot;&amp;gt;,&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; Deerpark Hotel has 2 18-hole public golf courses on it’s grounds&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://to.ly/1sl3&amp;quot;&amp;gt;,&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; as well as a par 3 course&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://redirx.com/?e7li&amp;quot;&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;  As far as public golf courses go&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://kl.am/stats/9ikb/url&amp;quot;&amp;gt;,&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; you can’t get better than this on a fine day&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://kl.am/stats/90sx/url&amp;quot;&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;  The views are incredible.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;On the driveway up to the golf courses&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://big5.southcn.com/gate/big5/www.optionsoutlet.com/hosting/midphase_budget_hosting_review.html/&amp;quot;&amp;gt;,&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; you can stop off at the old castle and visit the Transport Museum&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32092&amp;quot;&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;  It’s small but very interesting&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://redirx.com/?e7ll&amp;quot;&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

Here you can read about some of the most interesting movies about visual artists biographies&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32067"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; 

Lust for Life directed by Vincente Minnelli in 1952  

Vincent Van Gogh biography had gained several cinematic adaptations&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32068"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Lust for Life with Kirk Douglas as the struggling artist is one of the most notable&lt;a href="http://redirx.com/?e7jr"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; The movie is based on a best selling book by Irving Stone&lt;a href="http://blog.simplejustice.us/search.aspx?q=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.optionsoutlet.com/hosting/midphase_budget_hosting_review.html%3Emidphase+webhosting+review%3C/a%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; who also authored The Agony and the Ecstasy about Michelangelo&lt;a href="http://to.ly/1sJN"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; which also had appeared on the silver screen&lt;a href="http://kl.am/stats/90fS/url"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; 

If you are a fan of Van Gogh artwork&lt;a href="http://www.geonames.org/search.html?q=%22%3E%3Ca+href=http://www.optionsoutlet.com/hosting/midphase_budget_hosting_review.html%3Emidphase+webhosting+review%3C/a%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; you would enjoy watching Last for Life&lt;a href="http://to.ly/1sJS"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; which features almost 200 of Van Goghs original paintings&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32069"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; However&lt;a href="http://kl.am/stats/9iHS/url"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; if you are familiar with Kirk Douglas previous filmographic, seeing him as a tortured Dutch painter might take a little adjustment&lt;a href="http://redirx.com/?e7jz"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Another recommended film about Van Gogh is Robert Altmans Vincent and Theo from 1990&lt;a href="http://kl.am/stats/90GA/url"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;

Surviving Picasso directed by James Ivory in 1996

Like Van Gogh&lt;a href="http://www.vernier.com/search/results.html?query=%22%3E%3Ca+href=http://www.optionsoutlet.com/hosting/midphase_budget_hosting_review.html%3Emidphase+webhosting+review%3C/a%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; Pablo Picasso image made him an iconic figure outside the artistic circles&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32070"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; While Van Gogh symbolizes the self destructive&lt;a href="http://to.ly/1sJw"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; manic depressive artist who achieves success only after his death&lt;a href="http://kl.am/stats/9iIB/url"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; Picasso represents the misanthropic and womanizer artist&lt;a href="http://redirx.com/?e7k0"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Picasso infamous relationship with women is the focus of this Merchant and Ivory film&lt;a href="http://kl.am/stats/90HF/url"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; The story is told from the eyes of Picasso mistress Francoise Gilot and features only reproductions of Picasso works. With Anthony Hopkins talent and his physical resemblance to Picasso, Surviving Picasso manages to create an unflattering portrait of an artist as a cruel, self centered genius. 

Girl with Pearl Earring directed by Peter Webber in 2003

Comparing to Van Gogh and Picasso&lt;a href="http://www.sitemeter.com/?a=stats&amp;amp;s=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.optionsoutlet.com/hosting/midphase_budget_hosting_review.html%3Emidphase+webhosting+review%3C/a%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; Vermeers biography is less known and less controversial&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32071"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Therefore Girl with Pearl Earring is much more restrained and delicate&lt;a href="http://redirx.com/?e7k1"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; The movie focuses on a short period in Vermeers life in which he was painting the portrait of his young low class maid&lt;a href="http://kl.am/stats/90in/url"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Although Girl with Pearl Earring does not avoid filmic conventions by over dramatizing Vermeers painting process&lt;a href="http://to.ly/1sK2"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; the movie is worth watching if only for its artistic design&lt;a href="http://kl.am/stats/9iIc/url"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; which success in evoking Vermeers perception of light and color. 

Basquiat directed by Julian Schnabel in 1996

The most common critique against movies that deals with visual arts is the way they depict the creation process&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32072"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Therefore&lt;a href="http://sm5.sitemeter.com/stats.asp?site=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.optionsoutlet.com/hosting/midphase_budget_hosting_review.html%3Emidphase+webhosting+review%3C/a%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; there were big expectations from Basquiat&lt;a href="http://to.ly/1sK8"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; which was directed by the celebrated painter Julian Schnabel&lt;a href="http://redirx.com/?e7k2"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Schnabel did well in depicting Jean Michelle Basquiat rise and fall story in less the predictable manner we have seen millions time before&lt;a href="http://kl.am/stats/90iX/url"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; However&lt;a href="http://kl.am/stats/9iiM/url"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; the only reason to watch Basquiat is David Bowie plays the role of Andy Warhol. 

Frida directed by Julie Taymor in 2002

Like most of the visual artists who had their life story appear on the silver screen&lt;a href="http://ezinearticles.com/search/?q=%22%3E%3Ca+href=http://www.optionsoutlet.com/hosting/midphase_budget_hosting_review.html%3Emidphase+webhosting+review%3C/a%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; Frida Kahlo carried an unusual biography&lt;a href="http://to.ly/1sk9"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; which includes bus accident&lt;a href="http://kl.am/stats/9iJb/url"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; problematic marriage, and an affair with Leon Trotsky&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32073"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Like Van Gogh, Picasso and Jackson Pollock, who was the subject of a biopic from 2000, Frida Kahlo was an icon long before Frida was released, but the 123 minutes film did help to strength her position as a feminist idol and probably the most famous woman painter of the 20 century&lt;a href="http://redirx.com/?e7k3"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Frida tries its best to integrate Frida Kahlo life story with her painting and the result is very colorful and pleasant, but still does not stay far enough from the conventions of depicting artists on film&lt;a href="http://kl.am/stats/90jG/url"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;

Jackson is originally from Newnan&lt;a href="http://www.roninblades.com/?URL=http://www.onehostican.com/midphase_coupon.html"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; Georgia&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=31713"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; He previously worked in The Nashville Network's mailroom&lt;a href="http://redirx.com/?e73x"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Jackson's wife Denise got him connected to Glen Campbell&lt;a href="http://to.ly/1Q0j"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; who helped him jumpstart his career&lt;a href="http://doosaik.notlong.com"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;

His first album&lt;a href="http://www.enacting-citizenship.eu/?URL=http://www.onehostican.com/midphase_coupon.html"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; 1990's Here in the Real World&lt;a href="http://to.ly/1Q13"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; was a major hit&lt;a href="http://kl.am/stats/9ho7/url"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; as was his second (1991) album, Don't Rock the Jukebox&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=31714"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; His 1992 release, A Lot About Livin' (And a Little 'Bout Love) was a smash success, spawning five major singles with "Chattahoochee" being the most enduring and successful&lt;a href="http://redirx.com/?e73z"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; After a few more hit albums, Jackson again rocketed to fame with "Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)," a song about the September 11, 2001 attacks, which became a hit single and briefly propelled him into the mainstream spotlight; the song was even the subject of parody on the popular animated series South Park, in the episode "A Ladder To Heaven"&lt;a href="http://doovoku.notlong.com"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;

Although Jackson has been characterized as a "hat act"&lt;a href="http://info.quiltsonthewall.com/?URL=http://www.onehostican.com/midphase_coupon.html"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; his influences go deep into the roots of country music and his songs have been recorded by some of the greats like Charley Pride&lt;a href="http://to.ly/1Q1O"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; who recorded "Here In The Real World"&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=31715"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; He has sung with George Jones on the award-winning "I Don't Need Your Rockin' Chair" and "A Good Year for the Roses&lt;a href="http://redirx.com/?e740"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;" His sense of humor comes through in "Gone Country" with the satirical description of the wannabes who cynically jumped on the country music bandwagon in the 1990s: "Everybody's gone country/Yeah we've gone country/The whole world's gone country&lt;a href="http://doowaer.notlong.com"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;" He has been credited for popularizing a Neotraditional Country sound.

Gambling guides and casino portals are sometimes misunderstood&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32086"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Many people do not realize it is these gambling websites which are very much responsible for the good things that happen in the world of online gambling because they are the ears and voices of the gaming community&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33154"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Many times online casinos have reversed their decision to take an action which is not player-friendly because of the outcries of guides and portal owners who are almost all what is called "affiliates" in the industry&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33881"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;

As important as it is to know the affiliate is responsible for many of the good things in online gambling it is equally important to understand that nothing is ever taken away from the player by the existence of the affiliate&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32087"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Some people think that because the affiliate makes a commission that they are costing the player something but it couldn't be further from the truth&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33155"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Affiliates are like an extra padding of insurance that the player will be treated right&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33882"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Just like there are bad casinos and good&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32624"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; so are there bad affiliates and good. The bad ones are those who will promote any online casino willing to pay them&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33544"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; the good ones step in on behalf of their players whenever a casino mistreats them. That being said&lt;a href="http://www.proceedings.scielo.br/cgi-bin/wxis.exe/iah/?IsisScript=iah/iah.xis&amp;amp;base=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.onehostican.com/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E&amp;amp;lang=e"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; whether an affiliate costs the player any extra money is a separate issue from what casinos an affiliate chooses to list on their site or if  they will step in on behalf of the player. 

Affiliates are paid in several different ways which include a set amount for every visit sent to the casino website&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32625"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; a set amount for every player who signs up and plays for real money&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33545"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; a percentage of what that player loses&lt;a href="http://comciencia.scielo.br/cgi-bin/wxis.exe/iah/?IsisScript=iah/iah.xis&amp;amp;base=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.onehostican.com/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E&amp;amp;lang=e"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; and there is even a payment model that depends largely on the player winning which is called "wagershare", a common practice in Las Vegas that happens with high rollers where someone who is a free-lance escort is paid in the same manner&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32088"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33156"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33883"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; which is a percentage on whatever amount is gambled. That is not on what is won or what is lost, but rather it is just like the way any casino, land or virtual, figures comp points. It is all figured on how many times you put money into the slot machine, or how many hands and at what stakes? in blackjack or one of the other table games. The more the player wins the more they are going to wager of course so this model is a favorite with most guides because they want to see the players win and its great when you can also profit from that excitement. In truth it all figures out to about the same whatever the model is based, although the residual incomes (the percentage of) are the fairest to all involved because the other models always end up with one side or the other coming out on the short end of the stick (that meaning the affiliate and the casino as this has no bearing on a player because if the affiliate wasn't to get paid what they do ... the money would go straight into the casino's advertising budget or their pocket but it doesn't go back to the player, just ask anybody who has ever signed up straight from a search engine, they get no more extras than anybody else, further is they have nobody to turn for help if they get cheated, whereas those who signed up through a guide can go back there and ask for intervention). 

 There are also gambling guides and casino portals that straight out sell advertising space and some that were created by the casinos they list&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32089"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; But no matter what the type&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32626"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; at no time does the affiliate ever cost the player anything&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33157"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Besides being excellent places from which to choose a casino&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33546"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; these establishments often offer tips to help the player in both their game play and in their approach to online gambling as it is different than real life&lt;a href="http://inovacao.scielo.br/cgi-bin/wxis.exe/iah/?IsisScript=iah/iah.xis&amp;amp;base=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.onehostican.com/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E&amp;amp;lang=e"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; most noticeably in the time delay of payments&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33884"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=http://nimbb.com&gt;&lt;span style=&amp;quote;text-decoration:none; font-family: Verdana, Arial;&amp;quote;&gt;&lt;img src="http://service.nimbb.com/Images/logo.png" border=0&gt; Webcam video recording in your browser!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=http://www.rsscache.com/Section/Advertise/click.aspx?n=79612729&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.rsscache.com/Section/Advertise/ads.aspx?n=79612729&amp;f=202970" border=0&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 8pt;"&gt;&lt;img align=left src=http://www.rsscache.com/Section/Stats/logo.aspx?n=79612729 border=0&gt; Bandwidth saved by &lt;a href=http://www.rsscache.com&gt;RSScache.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><comments>http://eastlakecomm.livejournal.com/9915.html</comments><lj:security xmlns:lj="http://www.livejournal.org/rss/lj/1.0/">public</lj:security><lj:reply-count xmlns:lj="http://www.livejournal.org/rss/lj/1.0/">0</lj:reply-count></item><item><guid isPermaLink="true">http://eastlakecomm.livejournal.com/9725.html</guid><pubDate>Sun, 19 Sep 2010 20:09:53 GMT</pubDate><title>Modern Design</title><link>http://eastlakecomm.livejournal.com/9725.html</link><description>odern Design was born at the turn of the 20th century&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=31911"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; But as design does&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32477"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; this movement acquired from its predecessors&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33434"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; namely the Bauhaus and International styles&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33015"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Bauhaus was an architectural school founded in 1918&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33790"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; The faculty and students of the school would develop a style of architecture that favored simplicity and the integration of technology. International Style became the term used once the ideas of the Bauhaus began to catch on around the world. Swiss architect&lt;a href="http://www.freelance-europe.com/cgi-bin/webglimpse/home2/gabin/freelance-europe-www?query=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.onehostican.com/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; Le Corbusier and his idea of an open interior became the basis of International and eventually Modern design.

The philosophy of why the modern style was originated is open to a debate that will never be resolved&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=31912"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; The advancements of the Industrial Revolution in mid 19th century brought about innovations in technology and new building materials&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33016"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Sleek and clean lines were easily presented with the glass&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32478"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; steel&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33435"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; and concrete that became highly available through the mass production of the 20th century&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33791"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Some insist on the direct correlation with the eclectic art movements of the time&lt;a href="http://www.kvsi.com/cgi-bin/webglimpse/home/kvsicom/kvsi-www?query=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.onehostican.com/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; Expressionism, Fauvism, and so on. The idea of progress and the socio-political revolutions of the early 20th century were surely making an impact as well. Whatever the foundation of this Modern movement, we know that it was a time of inspiration and change, remarkable enough to endure through to the present.

Let us examine Modern Design as it stands today in its most prevalent form--the interior&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=31913"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Open any home magazine or journal from the last five years and I feel quite confident in saying most articles center around the modernizing of the home&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33017"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Whether it be color&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32479"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; accessories&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33436"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; lighting&lt;a href="http://www.markhargrave.com/cgi-bin/webglimpse/home/mhargrav/markhargrave-www?query=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.onehostican.com/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; etc&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33792"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;, designers today are constantly enquired as to what looks chic, and today, modern is chic.

The open plan that Le Corbusier derived remains the source of Modern design&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=31914"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; The floor plans of mod homes are sparsely furnished&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33018"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Simplicity and lack of ornamentation compliment the look&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32480"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; as the progress of design has become 'less is more'&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33793"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Consider computers&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33437"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; televisions&lt;a href="http://support.mfm.com/cgi-bin/webglimpse/webglimpse/var/www/websites/support/htdocs/support/manuals/fepanels/webglimpse?query=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.onehostican.com/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; cell phones, and even the automobiles of today. Every few months, something smaller and more streamlined is released. This constant simplifying of technology is no coincidence, it is convenience. With the progress and technology of the 20th century came the consequence of a much faster paced life. The direct response to this and rightly so, was the need for convenience. In the interior, this convenience lies in the lack of disarray and congestion and more in modular furnishing--straight lined and simple. Hence, less is more.

Walls are treated as a background to your open plan&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=31915"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; White&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32481"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; black&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33438"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; brown&lt;a href="http://www.macoptions.com/cgi-bin/webglimpse/home/macopt/macoptions-www?query=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.onehostican.com/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; gray, beige, and chrome are characteristic on the walls of a very modern home&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33019"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Originally, primary colors (reds, yellows, blues) were used in accessories and artwork to add a splash of color here and there&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33794"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; More recently, natural themes have been incorporated--cool greens and blues. The great thing about modern style is that if you begin with a sparse background, any color can be incorporated in moderation.

Flooring consists of natural elements&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=31916"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Wood planking&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32482"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; bamboo for example&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33439"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; is most common&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33020"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Brick&lt;a href="http://www.clamcity.com/cgi-bin/webglimpse/home/larry/clamcity-www?query=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.onehostican.com/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; stone, and tile are used to again keep the surroundings somewhat of a blank canvas&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33795"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Rugs are used to paint that canvas. They come in infinite sizes, shapes, colors and designs, and can be used to personalize and soften a stark space.

Industrial style lighting works very well with ultra modern homes&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=31917"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Track lighting&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32483"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; spot lighting&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33440"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; and recessed cans are probably the most popular forms&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33021"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Floor and table lamps can add a personal touch as well&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33796"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Lighting options are as immense as rugs. And by no means does lighting have to be the most expensive aspect of design.

Accents and furnishings are by far the most interesting aspect of the modern style&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=31918"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; I believe this to be true because there is no sort of outline for them&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33022"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; These are things of your choice&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33797"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Almost anything can be incorporated. Pull colors from your rug&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32484"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; your artwork&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33441"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; or simply add colors through these modern oil paintings. If there is any sort of rule at all in modern design&lt;a href="http://www.clydesight.com/cgi-bin/webglimpse/home/clyde236/clydesightproductions-www?query=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.onehostican.com/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; it is to use decorative items sparsely. 

But then&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32485"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; are there any rules in design&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33442"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; really? There are frameworks&lt;a href="http://www.nafi921.com/cgi-bin/webglimpse/home/nafi921/nafi921-www?query=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.onehostican.com/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; yes&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=31919"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; But they have always been debated and never decided&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33023"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Modern designers and architects have continuously argued the philosophy of design&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33798"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; The most intriguing part of modern style is first personal opinion, and second, personal philosophy. Mine is to use these frameworks for what they are, a blank canvas--paint as you will. Be eclectic, be interesting, be colorful, but most of all, be unique. Isn't that the modern way?

Modern Design was born at the turn of the 20th century&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=31910"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; But as design does&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32476"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; this movement acquired from its predecessors&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33433"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; namely the Bauhaus and International styles&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33014"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;

But it doesn’t have to be that way&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=31615"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; The first step in getting out of the rut is to stop making excuses and assume responsibility for the quality of your life&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32830"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; You can change your life situation today&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33687"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; How do I know? I know because others have done it. There will always be obstacles&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32328"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; but none that can’t be overcome. The only requirement is the desire to change. Mark Twain once said “It's not the size of the dog in the fight; it's the size of the fight in the dog.” If your “want to” is strong enough&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33350"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; you can achieve almost anything you set your mind to. 

The second step to getting out of the rut is step out in faith and&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32329"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; as the Nike commercial says&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33351"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; “Just do it”&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=31616"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; There is no time like the present to change course&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32831"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; You might not succeed the first time&lt;a href="http://www.karavas.gr/cgi-bin/listman/exec/search.cgi?template=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.onehostican.com/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; but you must keep trying&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33688"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Success will come with persistence. Remember the old saying “Today is the first day of the rest of your life.” Don’t worry about making a mistake. Albert Einstein once said “Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.”

So step out&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=31617"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Take a chance&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32330"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; and as William Durant&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33352"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; the founder of General Motors said “Forget past mistakes&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32832"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Forget failures&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33689"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Forget everything except what you're going to do now and do it.”

And you can count on Congress and Federal Officials to absolutely make things worse—not better—than they already are!
Even in my worst nightmares&lt;a href="http://www.bchistoryportal.tc.ca/SPT--QuickSearch.php?ss=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.onemidphasecoupon.com%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; I never dreamed that Washington (and all the rest of the world's money capitals as well) could make such a mess of things!

Easy-money created more home buyers&lt;a href="http://www.visibledarkness.com/portal/SPT--QuickSearch.php?ss=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.onemidphasecoupon.com%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; more demand&lt;a href="http://esmane.physics.lsa.umich.edu/wlap-cwis/SPT--QuickSearch.php?ss=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.onemidphasecoupon.com%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; and higher real estate prices&lt;a href="http://archives.kennesaw.edu/SPT--QuickSearch.php?ss=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.onemidphasecoupon.com%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;  Escalating (and unrealistic) home values were used like savings accounts as millions tapped into low-interest home equity loans&lt;a href="http://arachne.library.emory.edu/libraries/marbl/afampamphlets/SPT--QuickSearch.php?ss=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.onemidphasecoupon.com%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;  There was no market for cautiously-lent money&lt;a href="http://accessnsdl.org/SPT--QuickSearch.php?ss=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.onemidphasecoupon.com%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;  Banks that correctly priced interest for the risk involved lost out. I mean&lt;a href="http://cwis.fcla.edu/edl/SPT--QuickSearch.php?ss=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.onemidphasecoupon.com%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; ask yourself, why would anyone borrow at a higher interest rate from a cautious bank when cheaper funds were available from a bank willing to take more risk?
Under this government-sponsored scheme&lt;a href="http://scout.wisc.edu/Archives/SPT--AdvancedSearch.php?Q=Y&amp;amp;&amp;amp;RP=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.onemidphasecoupon.com%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; profits of easy-credit banks grew&lt;a href="https://www.website.ws/kvmlm2/wrong_sponsor.dhtml?sponsor=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.onemidphasecoupon.com%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; and their stock prices multiplied&lt;a href="http://oai.teachersdomain.org:8080/CWIS/SPT--AdvancedSearch.php?Q=Y&amp;amp;RP=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.onemidphasecoupon.com%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;   And&lt;a href="http://www.dnscoop.com/tools/dns/domainwhois.php?query=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.onemidphasecoupon.com%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; as Fed Chairmans Greenspan and then Bernanke contined to prop up the economy with ever cheaper money, Bang! banks lost their customers, their managers, their share values, and many went bust&lt;a href="http://chile.oer.bvsalud.org/SPT--AdvancedSearch.php?Q=Y&amp;amp;RP=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.onemidphasecoupon.com%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; 
So let's be clear about the cause of this catastrophe&lt;a href="http://www.123cha.com/ga/?q=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.onemidphasecoupon.com%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; It was government-sponsored easy credit&lt;a href="http://boardreader.com/index.php?a=l&amp;amp;q=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.onemidphasecoupon.com%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;  It enabled the housing bubble that ultimately led to the bank failures and the credit crisis&lt;a href="http://www-spires.fnal.gov/cgi-bin/spiface.pl/find/experiments/www%3frawcmd=www?rawcmd=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.onemidphasecoupon.com%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E&amp;amp;SEQUENCE="&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;  In the U.S. the blame rests squarely on Alan Greenspan and Ben Barnanke and across the pond&lt;a href="http://cornell.worldcat.org/webservices/root/search/lists?listquery=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.onemidphasecoupon.com%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; it was the likes of Gordon Brown.

If I'd told you a year ago that Congress would be forced to pass an $850 billion bailout to save the U.S. (and the global) economy from a total meltdown, would you have listened?
If I'd told you in October 2007, when the market was hitting its recent high, that you needed to prepare your investments for an economic disaster the likes of which you'd never seen, would you have dismissed me as a Chicken Little?
I've been sounding the alarm for some time now and offering specific, what-to-do protection against what has turned into a catastrophe for millions of individual investors.  And although sadly, most retired, or soon-to-retire, investors didn't avoid painful, life-altering losses, my defensive strategies proved highly effective in limiting the damage.
While the S&amp;P 500 has been off as much as 50% from 2007's high…

This monetary-policy guideline is based on three factors: (1) where actual inflation is relative to the Fed’s targeted level; (2) how much economic activity is above or below its “full employment” level; and (3) the level of short-term interest rates that would be consistent with full employment&lt;a href="http://search.novell.com/qfsearch/SearchServlet?bbshow=true&amp;amp;query=asd&amp;amp;hdrsrchsubmit=Search&amp;amp;lang=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.onemidphasecoupon.com%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;

We are talking about natural gas&lt;a href="http://www.secretguide.net/read/index.php?filename=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; which among major industrial commodities was the worst performer of 2010&lt;a href="http://downloads.k0k0.de/index.php?dir=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; While we would not take bets that gas will lead the commodity pack in 2011&lt;a href="http://www.kzz.hr/trazi.asp?TxtTrazi=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; we would not be surprised to see it perform much better – perhaps outperforming oil&lt;a href="http://www.zagrebacka-zupanija.hr/search?ss=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; which we also expect to be strong in 2010&lt;a href="http://www.iamthewitness.com/books/index.php?dir=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; But strong gas prices will not necessarily translate into gains across the board for gas stocks&lt;a href="http://www.tjeffschool.org/index.php?filename=mainfile.php&amp;amp;id=14&amp;amp;cat_id=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; You will have to selective. Two companies which stand out are energy giant ConocoPhillips (COP) and contract driller Nabors Industries (NBR).
Ironically&lt;a href="http://www.ivica.kostelic.hr/index.php?link=&amp;amp;lang=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; one of the strongest pieces of evidence that augurs strong natural gas prices is the recent takeover of independent gas giant XTO Energy&lt;a href="http://www.myp2p.eu/index.php?part=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; by the world’s largest energy company&lt;a href="http://www.theworldmarch.org/index.php?secc=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; Exxon Mobil&lt;a href="http://www.sljeme.hr/index.php?l=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; At first glance it would seem that the XTO shareholders got an excellent deal&lt;a href="http://www.croski.hr/index.php?link=&amp;amp;lang=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Exxon paid (inclusive of debt) a 25 percent premium, which works out to about $52 a share&lt;a href="http://www.janica.hr/index.php?link=&amp;amp;lang=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; But XTO’s stock is still trading well below $52. One reason is that the acquisition is an all-stock deal. But we think something else may be at play…
While some may argue the reason for the big discount (more than 10 percent) are the anti-trust questions surrounding the deal&lt;a href="http://ipm.messe-essen.de/index.php?content=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; we doubt that’s the true reason&lt;a href="http://www.cambodianembassy.org.uk/index.php?link=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; If Exxon was able to take over Mobil – a company many times the size of XTO and in businesses far more complimentary to Exxon – it is stretch to argue that anti-trust concerns account for the very large discount&lt;a href="http://www.balkanpeace.org/index.php?index=/content/%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;
What is most striking to us is the behavior of Exxon stock since the deal was announced&lt;a href="http://www.imeicc5.com/index.php?content=papers%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; The stock is currently trading near $68&lt;a href="http://googlogo.110mb.com/makelogo.php?loogle=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; down about 7 percent since word of the deal hit the wires&lt;a href="http://www53.rockyou.com/search_main.php?s_pindex=-20&amp;amp;s_sort=views&amp;amp;s_tsearch=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; If investors were so worried about the purchase not going through then why put Exxon through the wringer? After all&lt;a href="http://miranda.tsj.gov.ve/noticias/noticia_detallada.asp?id=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; a 7 percent drop amounts to over $20 billion in lost market capitalization&lt;a href="http://medya.moralhaber.net/ara.php?Kelime=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;
It seems clear that investors on both sides are not thrilled about the deal&lt;a href="http://ioc-unesco.org/index.php?option=com_oe&amp;amp;task=generalSearch&amp;amp;searchText=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; If you own XTO&lt;a href="http://www.guengl.eu/showPage.jsp?ID=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; the current price is about the same as the average price in 2006-07&lt;a href="http://locogame.net/index.php?loadpage=.%2Fincludes%2Fsearch.php&amp;amp;searchstring=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; when natural gas was trading at the same value it is today&lt;a href="http://www.torrentdownloadz.com/search/?search=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Moreover&lt;a href="http://demo.blogsessive.com/?s=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; the targeted price was below a number of Wall Street targets&lt;a href="http://wallpapers7.com/search.html?q=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; For example, only a few days before the merger, Barclays raised their target on the stock to $57. Even assuming the stock makes up the huge discount, the end price will still be nearly 10 percent less than what Barclays was willing to value the stock. We single out Barclays not to demean them but for the opposite reason – they have had a very good record in the energy patch.
So what did so many miss? After all&lt;a href="http://www.bursaonkoloji.gov.tr/onkoloji/?page=1%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; XTO has one of the strongest positions in shale&lt;a href="http://igrice.bajno.com/index.php?q=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E&amp;amp;task=search"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Indeed the company has positions in virtually every major shale play – Barnett Shale&lt;a href="http://tumcomputer.ob.tc/-View.php?N=8%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; Woodford&lt;a href="http://desktopblog.aol.com/search/?q=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; Fayetteville, and Bakken&lt;a href="http://www.faqnation.com/?s=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; The company has stated that the potential reserves in these plays could exceed 30 trillion cubic feet of natural gas – or more than two times its current reserve base&lt;a href="http://footballplayer.5live.external.bbc.co.uk/football-player/index.php?FeedItem=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; So how much did Exxon pay for these potentially enormous reserves? At the current price of XTO, very little. If the takeover is consummated in the mid to high $40s, where it is currently trading, the implicit value of XTO’s proved reserves will be about $2.50 per thousand cubic feet, which almost matches how the market values the proved reserves of other large independent natural gas companies. 
Indeed even at $52&lt;a href="http://www.giove.esa.int/core_search.php?query=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; for XTO the value of the undeveloped shale reserves would be shy of $0&lt;a href="http://www.ethnos.gr/default.asp?tag=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;50 per thousand cubic feet of these reserves&lt;a href="http://www.africultures.com/index.asp?menu=themes&amp;amp;no_rubrique=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; But obviously Exxon shareholders may even think that is far too much&lt;a href="http://www.lagosstate.gov.ng/?emonth=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; lest why would Exxon have tumbled so much since the takeover announcement&lt;a href="http://www.informationweek.com/news/software/app_optimization/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;
A lot of ink has been spilled on the enormous reserve potential of the shale gas deposits&lt;a href="http://mail.defensa.cl:82/cgi-bin/neomail.pl?sessionid=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Some have argued that based on these putative enormous reserves&lt;a href="http://antt.dgarq.gov.pt/?s=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; the country has much less to worry about should the oil doomsters be proven right&lt;a href="http://www.spa.gov.sa/Search.php?pg=1&amp;amp;s=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E/"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Evidently the shareholders and managements of XTO and Exxon demur&lt;a href="http://www.halal.gov.my/directory/halaldir_syk.php?type=A&amp;amp;PageNo=1%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Or at least they are saying that if there are massive reserves in the shale formations there&lt;a href="http://dgarq.gov.pt/?s=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; those fields are not going to be easy to develop.
We cannot take full credit for these observations&lt;a href="http://www.policiafederal.gov.ar/juris_web/buscar.calles.php?&amp;amp;dcr=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Some goes to Matt Simmons&lt;a href="http://adoption.state.gov/news/StarCountryData.php?country=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; whom we interviewed about a year ago&lt;a href="http://innerweb.nr.utah.gov/iwcalendar/search.php?allwords=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; His comment on the shale formations at that time was that it would take more energy to develop shale than you would get out&lt;a href="http://www.dsto.defence.gov.au/search.php?q=%27%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; I must admit that at the time I just thought Matt simply had an axe to grind as he has been indefatigable in his campaign for developing alternative to fossil fuels. The dynamics of the Exxon-XTO deal strongly suggest that Matt may have been on to something. 
The real beneficiaries of the natural gas 
What are the investment implications?

As a result&lt;a href="http://www.whois.com.tr/?act=cpage&amp;amp;id=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; natural gas prices could indeed rise sharply –especially if there is a carbon tax, as natural gas is the cleanest of the fossil fuels.
Rising natural gas prices should benefit virtually all producers of natural gas but will especially benefit those most leveraged to proved gas reserves as opposed to those companies that have massive amounts of potential gas reserves locked up in shale&lt;a href="http://www.reuters.com/search?blob=%27%3E%3Ca%20href=%27http://www.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%27%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Of these potential beneficiaries our favorite is the major oil company most overlooked by the market&lt;a href="http://orlando.findlocal.com/search/dispatcher.front?page=7&amp;amp;Query=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=%27http://www.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%27%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E&amp;amp;searchtype=%2Fentertainment%2Frestaurants&amp;amp;target=google"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; which is ConocoPhillips&lt;a href="http://www.adultwebfind.com/search.php?&amp;amp;sid=adnc&amp;amp;keyword=%27%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; 
COP has been a terrible underperformer for many reasons&lt;a href="http://seattle.citysearch.com/listings/58044?what=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=%27http://www.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%27%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; One is that they have a number of non-productive assets such as refining&lt;a href="http://richmond.citysearch.com/listings/58044?what=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=%27http://www.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%27%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; They are in the process of selling these assets&lt;a href="http://utah.citysearch.com/listings/58044?what=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=%27http://www.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%27%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Another reason is that the company is highly leveraged to natural gas&lt;a href="http://sanantonio.citysearch.com/listings/58044?what=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=%27http://www.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%27%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; which has dramatically underperformed oil. Indeed every $0.25 increase in natural gas prices adds 3 percent to COP’s bottom line. The figure for the next most leveraged major is 0.7 percent.
Thus even if natural gas’ performance only goes from worst to so-so&lt;a href="http://austin.citysearch.com/listings/58044?what=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=%27http://www.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%27%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; COP’s performance among major oil companies could easily go from worst to best&lt;a href="http://elpaso.citysearch.com/listings/58044?what=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=%27http://www.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%27%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Also&lt;a href="http://sanjuan.citysearch.com/listings/58044?what=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=%27http://www.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%27%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; investors earn a 4 percent yield while waiting for the turnaround&lt;a href="http://houston.citysearch.com/listings/58044?what=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=%27http://www.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%27%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; We also have to mention one other stand-out and that is Nabors&lt;a href="http://philadelphia.citysearch.com/listings/58044?what=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=%27http://www.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%27%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; which is clearly the best and largest land driller in the world&lt;a href="http://dallas.citysearch.com/listings/58044?what=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=%27http://www.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%27%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Nabors is also one of the most leveraged companies to natural gas prices but at the same time has enough international exposure to hold its own if natural gas does not cooperate. Its 22 percent premium to book value is one of the lowest valuations the stock has ever sported.

The economy declined 4&lt;a href="http://reports.internic.net/cgi/whois?whois_nic=%3Ca%20href=http://www.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E&amp;amp;type=domain"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;1 percent in the downturn that evidently but not yet officially ended in the second quarter of 2009&lt;a href="http://www.quarkbase.com/search?authenticity_token=82b7b35b36b28e43defc2cdc43d3d55ec63d69da&amp;amp;q=%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; This was the deepest recession of the post-World War II period&lt;a href="http://namedroppers.com/who/%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; There was some historical precedence for the expectation of some that a sharp decline would lead to a robust rebound. That has not been the case&lt;a href="http://www.getaccess.com.au/search/results.asp?formName2=search_all&amp;amp;qn=%3Ch1%3E%3Ca+href=http://www.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; as we predicted more than a year ago.
Pretty much all of the reports on the economy this summer have come in below expectations&lt;a href="http://www.zzadmin.com/tool/?domain=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Leading the way this week&lt;a href="http://alexa.3m2n.com/?url=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; housing sales in July plunged to their lowest level in more than a decade&lt;a href="http://blog.careerdomino.com/search.aspx?q=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; and down 25&lt;a href="http://www.ccminfo.net/default1.asp?domain=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;5 percent below the July 2009 level&lt;a href="http://www.ectip.cn/pr/?domain=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; July was the first month that buyers could not qualify for a tax credit of up to $8&lt;a href="http://www.linkhelper.cn/robots.asp?weburl=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt;000. But the decline was almost double expectations. The number of homes on the market increased only slightly. But the large sales drop push the national inventory level up to 12.5 months, more than double the normal level.
The housing weakness is all the more jarring because mortgage rates are their lowest in many decades&lt;a href="http://central-northern-western-arizona.bbb.org/WWWRoot/Search.aspx?site=50&amp;amp;s=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; with 30-year loans at less than 4&lt;a href="http://www.medmark.org/go.php?url=%22%3E%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C%2Fa%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;5 percent&lt;a href="http://amarillo.bbb.org/WWWRoot/Search.aspx?site=50&amp;amp;s=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; And affordability is at its highest in more than 10 years&lt;a href="http://batonrouge.bbb.org/WWWRoot/Search.aspx?site=50&amp;amp;s=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; This is based on incomes&lt;a href="http://abilene.bbb.org/WWWRoot/Search.aspx?site=50&amp;amp;s=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; home prices and financing costs.
For the week ended August 21&lt;a href="http://austin.bbb.org/WWWRoot/Search.aspx?site=50&amp;amp;s=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; the number of U&lt;a href="http://alaskaoregonwesternwashington.bbb.org/WWWRoot/Search.aspx?site=50&amp;amp;s=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;S&lt;a href="http://arkansas.bbb.org/WWWRoot/Search.aspx?site=50&amp;amp;s=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; workers making new claims for jobless benefits declined by 31&lt;a href="http://baltimore.bbb.org/WWWRoot/Search.aspx?site=50&amp;amp;s=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt;000 to a still very high 473&lt;a href="http://boise.bbb.org/WWWRoot/Search.aspx?site=50&amp;amp;s=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt;000&lt;a href="http://atlanta.bbb.org/WWWRoot/Search.aspx?site=50&amp;amp;s=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; The previous week's numbers had hit the loftiest level since last November. Weekly new claims have risen gradually for more than six months now. The official unemployment rate remains at 9.5 percent. And jobs are the most important indicator for the economy.
This week's reports also included a sharp 8 percent decline in July for durable-goods orders (excluding defense and aircraft)&lt;a href="http://bryan.bbb.org/WWWRoot/Search.aspx?site=50&amp;amp;s=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; the most since January 2009&lt;a href="http://calgary.bbb.org/WWWRoot/Search.aspx?site=50&amp;amp;s=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; when the economy was in free-fall after the financial crisis&lt;a href="http://boston.bbb.org/WWWRoot/Search.aspx?site=50&amp;amp;s=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;
Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke is likely to make news tomorrow in a major speech that will provide more evidence of how the Fed plans to deal with the deteriorating economic outlook&lt;a href="http://canton.bbb.org/WWWRoot/Search.aspx?site=50&amp;amp;s=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; This will follow the release of the government's revised report on the economy's growth for the second quarter&lt;a href="http://cencal.bbb.org/WWWRoot/Search.aspx?site=50&amp;amp;s=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; The first report came in at a sluggish 2&lt;a href="http://central-westernma.bbb.org/WWWRoot/Search.aspx?site=50&amp;amp;s=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;4 percent annual rate&lt;a href="http://centralflorida.bbb.org/WWWRoot/Search.aspx?site=50&amp;amp;s=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; and the consensus calls for a downward revision.
The Fed chairman will give the keynote address at the annual "wither the economy?" gathering at a luxurious Jackson Hole&lt;a href="http://chattanooga.bbb.org/WWWRoot/Search.aspx?site=50&amp;amp;s=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; Wyoming&lt;a href="http://chicago.bbb.org/WWWRoot/Search.aspx?site=46&amp;amp;s=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; resort hosted by the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City at taxpayer expense&lt;a href="http://centralgeorgia.bbb.org/WWWRoot/Search.aspx?site=50&amp;amp;s=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; So talk won't be cheap after all&lt;a href="http://centralohio.bbb.org/WWWRoot/Search.aspx?site=50&amp;amp;s=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; However&lt;a href="http://cincinnati.bbb.org/WWWRoot/Search.aspx?site=50&amp;amp;s=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; there's really not much the Fed can do, as we've previously explained&lt;a href="http://charlotte.bbb.org/WWWRoot/Search.aspx?site=50&amp;amp;s=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Government spending to create jobs is what's required, along with cost-cutting in other areas.
So the economic background is undeniably negative&lt;a href="http://cleveland.bbb.org/WWWRoot/Search.aspx?site=50&amp;amp;s=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; The big question is whether and how this is already reflected in the financial markets&lt;a href="http://columbia.bbb.org/WWWRoot/Search.aspx?site=50&amp;amp;s=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; In our view&lt;a href="http://concord.bbb.org/WWWRoot/Search.aspx?site=50&amp;amp;s=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; the bad news is largely reflected in both the bond and stock markets&lt;a href="http://columbus-ga.bbb.org/WWWRoot/Search.aspx?site=50&amp;amp;s=%22%3E%3Ca%20href=http://www.optionsoutlet.org/hosting/midphase_coupon.html%3Emidphase+coupon+code%3C/a%3E"&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;

woes</title><link>http://eastlakecomm.livejournal.com/7057.html</link><description>Evaluate &lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33271"&gt;y&lt;/a&gt;ou&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33270"&gt;r&lt;/a&gt; investments, with an eye on the potential tax consequences. Keep your winners if you still like them for the long haul. But consider selling or trimming your stake in any investments with big gains if you have losses you can use to shelter them from taxes.

This is also a good time to conside&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33272"&gt;r&lt;/a&gt; selling laggard mutual funds in a taxable account. Reason: You avoid capital-gains pa&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33273"&gt;y&lt;/a&gt;outs, usually made in November or December. 

Funds must pa&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33275"&gt;y&lt;/a&gt; out these gains to sha&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33274"&gt;r&lt;/a&gt;eholders, and you pay tax no matter how long you’ve owned the fund shares and regardless of whether you take cash or reinvest in the fund. This year’s taxable payouts likely will be larger than usual from many funds that have taken substantial capital gains in this year’s wild market.

So too, if &lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33277"&gt;y&lt;/a&gt;ou want to invest in a fund in a taxable account, ask fi&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33276"&gt;r&lt;/a&gt;st about payout dates and estimated amounts so you don’t increase your tax bill needlessly. The fund-share price is reduced by the distribution amount, so the payout provides no benefit to a new shareholder.   

The economic woes of the &lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33278"&gt;r&lt;/a&gt;ecent past have varied b&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33279"&gt;y&lt;/a&gt; degree from place to place. One region that has survived relatively intact and will likely thrive in years to come is the area surrounding the nation’s capital. Thanks to the federal government, which accounts for approximately one-third of the region’s economy, unemployment there is a mere 6 percent compared to a national average approaching 10 percent. 

Mo&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33280"&gt;r&lt;/a&gt;eover, the D.C. metropolitan area should rebound faster than other parts of the countr&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33281"&gt;y&lt;/a&gt; as the federal government is projected to hire an additional 120,000 people in the region over the next few years, according to the nonprofit Partnership for Public Service. Adding to the area’s investment appeal is that Maryland’s Montgomery County and Virginia’s Fairfax County are two of the wealthiest counties in the country.  

An excellent wa&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33283"&gt;y&lt;/a&gt; to capitalize on the a&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33282"&gt;r&lt;/a&gt;ea’s resilience is through Eagle Bancorp, which provides commercial and consumer banking at 13 branches in the suburban Washington, D.C. region.  

As othe&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33284"&gt;r&lt;/a&gt; banks made risk&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33285"&gt;y&lt;/a&gt; loans that came back to haunt them, Eagle stuck to its conservative knitting and as a result its net charge-offs have remained very manageable. And as other banks have drastically curtailed lending so as to shore up their balance sheets, the well-capitalized Eagle has been in the enviable position of capturing market share. 

Although its ea&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33286"&gt;r&lt;/a&gt;nings have slipped a bit, Eagle has continued to generate profits. For 2010, the compan&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33287"&gt;y&lt;/a&gt; is on track to earn 58 cents a share. That should be followed by earnings of around 70 cents a share next year, giving it a very reasonable forward P/E of just 13. In fact, the stock is trading near its lowest valuations on record by just about every imaginable metric. 

The bank &lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33288"&gt;r&lt;/a&gt;ecentl&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33289"&gt;y&lt;/a&gt; raised $48 million in a stock offering, some of which will likely be used to expand its operations. And in a strong vote of confidence in the bank’s prospects, Eagle insiders have been buying the stock hand over fist, at a time when corporate insiders across America have overwhelmingly been sellers of stock. Eagle insiders now own approximately 18 percent of the outstanding shares and obviously have a strong incentive to see the company prosper.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=http://nimbb.com&gt;&lt;span style=&amp;quote;text-decoration:none; font-family: Verdana, Arial;&amp;quote;&gt;&lt;img src="http://service.nimbb.com/Images/logo.png" border=0&gt; Webcam video recording in your browser!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=http://www.rsscache.com/Section/Advertise/click.aspx?n=78636703&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.rsscache.com/Section/Advertise/ads.aspx?n=78636703&amp;f=202970" border=0&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 8pt;"&gt;&lt;img align=left src=http://www.rsscache.com/Section/Stats/logo.aspx?n=78636703 border=0&gt; Bandwidth saved by &lt;a href=http://www.rsscache.com&gt;RSScache.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><comments>http://eastlakecomm.livejournal.com/7057.html</comments><lj:security xmlns:lj="http://www.livejournal.org/rss/lj/1.0/">public</lj:security><lj:reply-count xmlns:lj="http://www.livejournal.org/rss/lj/1.0/">0</lj:reply-count></item><item><guid isPermaLink="true">http://eastlakecomm.livejournal.com/6803.html</guid><pubDate>Wed, 18 Aug 2010 19:18:59 GMT</pubDate><title>China's inflationary pressures</title><link>http://eastlakecomm.livejournal.com/6803.html</link><description>The minutes of the latest Fede&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33121"&gt;r&lt;/a&gt;al Reserve Open Market Committee released &lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33122"&gt;y&lt;/a&gt;esterday gave us some prospective on what the Fed really thinks about long-reaching consequences of the ultra-low rates policy. “Members noted the possibility that some negative side effects might result from the maintenance of very low short-term interest rates for an extended period,” is one quote that springs off the page.

This “negative effect” is inflation. F&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33123"&gt;r&lt;/a&gt;om a polic&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33124"&gt;y&lt;/a&gt;-making point of view, the way to fight it is via higher interest rates. However, we aren’t likely to see the higher rates in the U.S any time soon as the recovery is still very fragile. 

Meanwhile, &lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33125"&gt;r&lt;/a&gt;ecord-setting gold prices signal that inflation is a strong possibilit&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33126"&gt;y&lt;/a&gt;. So do the prices of industrial metals, which have been rising at record pace.  

Man&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33128"&gt;y&lt;/a&gt; economies ac&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33127"&gt;r&lt;/a&gt;oss the globe aren’t in a hurry to raise rate either. Some are still cutting – the Russian central bank, for example. Beside the goal of stimulating its economy, Russia is also planning to slow down the inflow of capital into the country, which threatens the ruble’s stability. This week, Russia cut a key rate for the ninth time since April to a record low 9 percent to stem the use of the ruble to profit from the carry trade (borrowing in another currency with low rates—such as the U.S. dollar and using the proceeds to buy rubles). More cuts may be necessary, according to a Russian bank official. 

Russia offe&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33129"&gt;r&lt;/a&gt;s the highest interest rate among emerging countries and has drawn great interest from investors in recent months. The ruble has been the second-best performing currenc&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33130"&gt;y&lt;/a&gt; in the last three months. Moreover, the inflow of capital into Russian equity funds reached a record high in October. However, the world’s largest energy exporter, Russia could stand to be hurt in international trade if its currency becomes too strong. It’s in the country’s interest to keep the ruble from appreciating too much too quickly.

Russia’s thi&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33131"&gt;r&lt;/a&gt;d-quarter GDP fell nearl&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33132"&gt;y&lt;/a&gt; 9 percent year-on-year but gained more than 13 percent on a sequentially basis. Consumer demand, helped by the strong ruble, appears to be rebounding, evident by a 3.2 percent monthly gain in retail sales. However, the Russian manufacturing sector remains weak, as credit conditions remain tight despite the interest rate cuts. So we will likely continue to see downward pressure on interest rates in that country.

B&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33134"&gt;y&lt;/a&gt; cont&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33133"&gt;r&lt;/a&gt;ast, another country whose currency has been on the upswing lately, Australia, is forecasted by economists to raise rates again for the third-straight month on December 1 (to 3.75 percent). Investors continue to bid up its currency as they expect the increases. Australia’s GDP grew at a better-than-expected 1 percent in the first half this year. This is the country whose annual GDP growth will be positive for the 18th straight year. Having largely avoided the housing trouble that plagues the U.S., Australia’s economy looks to be on solid ground. The Australian dollar looks poised to reach parity of the U.S. dollar, for the first time since 1982.

B&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33135"&gt;r&lt;/a&gt;azil is also likel&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33136"&gt;y&lt;/a&gt; to start raising rates soon, from the current 8.75 percent to 10.5 percent next year, the recently released central bank survey of about 100 economists shows. This country is trying to stem the advance of its own currency, the advance that’s making it less competitive internationally. 

Showing some signs of ove&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33137"&gt;r&lt;/a&gt;heating, the fastest emerging econom&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33138"&gt;y&lt;/a&gt; in the world, China, may be running low on bank funds. With the encouragement of the government, this year China’s banks have lent out the equivalent of some $1.3 trillion dollars, which helped propel China to its fastest growth in a year during the third quarter. It’s been a drain on banks’ capital, however. This had led to some speculation that the Chinese banks may raise capital by selling shares, and caused the Chinese bank shares to come under pressure. 

Fueling this, the&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33139"&gt;r&lt;/a&gt;e is also speculation that China’s Central Bank is pressuring banks to increase capital adequac&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33140"&gt;y&lt;/a&gt; requirements. Though banking regulators denied a report that the capital adequacy ratio will be raised to 13 percent from the current 9, banks are reported to be under pressure to raise more capital and slow down their lending. This makes sense, as China needs banks to have sufficient capital to lend next year to keep economic recovery sustainable. If the U.S. dollar continues to weaken, the renminbi, which is pegged to the dollar, will continue to depreciate as well, increasing inflationary pressures in China.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=http://nimbb.com&gt;&lt;span style=&amp;quote;text-decoration:none; font-family: Verdana, Arial;&amp;quote;&gt;&lt;img src="http://service.nimbb.com/Images/logo.png" border=0&gt; Webcam video recording in your browser!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=http://www.rsscache.com/Section/Advertise/click.aspx?n=78540769&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.rsscache.com/Section/Advertise/ads.aspx?n=78540769&amp;f=202970" border=0&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 8pt;"&gt;&lt;img align=left src=http://www.rsscache.com/Section/Stats/logo.aspx?n=78540769 border=0&gt; Bandwidth saved by &lt;a href=http://www.rsscache.com&gt;RSScache.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><comments>http://eastlakecomm.livejournal.com/6803.html</comments><lj:security xmlns:lj="http://www.livejournal.org/rss/lj/1.0/">public</lj:security><lj:reply-count xmlns:lj="http://www.livejournal.org/rss/lj/1.0/">0</lj:reply-count></item><item><guid isPermaLink="true">http://eastlakecomm.livejournal.com/6606.html</guid><pubDate>Fri, 13 Aug 2010 02:51:25 GMT</pubDate><title>ready for a tax hike?</title><link>http://eastlakecomm.livejournal.com/6606.html</link><description>The app&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32975"&gt;r&lt;/a&gt;oaching holida&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32976"&gt;y&lt;/a&gt; season is a natural time to make gifts. Your generosity can help family members, lower your income-tax bill and reduce your taxable estate.

You’&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32977"&gt;r&lt;/a&gt;e allowed to make gifts of up to $13,000 per recipient per &lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32978"&gt;y&lt;/a&gt;ear, to as many people as you want, free of federal gift and estate tax. If your spouse joins in making the gift, the limit rises to $26,000 per recipient.

Suppose &lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32980"&gt;y&lt;/a&gt;ou have two child&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32979"&gt;r&lt;/a&gt;en, each married with two of their own children. You and your spouse could give $26,000 to each of the eight people, $208,000 in all, without tax. You could even make gifts to nephews and nieces, say. Then a brother or sister of yours (and possibly his or her spouse) could do the same with your children in offsetting dollar amounts. And so on.

Repeated use of the exclusion, &lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32982"&gt;y&lt;/a&gt;ea&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32981"&gt;r&lt;/a&gt; after year, can take a large estate out of taxable territory without gift tax.

Above those limits, &lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32984"&gt;y&lt;/a&gt;ou can also make lifetime gifts up to $1 million without estate/gift tax liability, o&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32983"&gt;r&lt;/a&gt; $2 million if given jointly. Such gifts during your life reduce the size of your estate and taxes on it at death, but they reduce your estate tax exemption.

The cu&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32985"&gt;r&lt;/a&gt;rent federal estate tax situation is uncertain. For 2009, each person can pass on up to $3.5 million free of estate tax, or $7 million per married couple.

This estate tax is scheduled to disappea&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32987"&gt;r&lt;/a&gt; entirel&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32988"&gt;y&lt;/a&gt; in 2010. But then only $1 million per person would be exempt in 2011. Strange, isn’t it?

Cu&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32989"&gt;r&lt;/a&gt;rent expectations are that new federal legislation will freeze the estate-tax exemption at $3.5 million. It hasn’t happened &lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32990"&gt;y&lt;/a&gt;et, though.

Still anothe&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32991"&gt;r&lt;/a&gt; complicating factor is that most states with estate or inheritance taxes haven’t raised exemptions to match the federal limits. So man&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32992"&gt;y&lt;/a&gt; estates that now escape the federal levy could get hit with a state tax. All told, 25 states and the District of Columbia currently impose estate or inheritance taxes.

Best Asset T&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32994"&gt;y&lt;/a&gt;pe
 
An impo&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32995"&gt;r&lt;/a&gt;tant factor when making famil&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32996"&gt;y&lt;/a&gt; gifts is which assets to use. Appreciated property inherited by a beneficiary receives a “stepped-up” cost basis. This means the property value is figured as of date of death, not original cost. Benefit: All or much of the gain will never be taxed.

In cont&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32997"&gt;r&lt;/a&gt;ast, if the gift is made during the donor’s lifetime, its value is as of the transfer date while using the donor’s cost basis. So if the propert&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32998"&gt;y&lt;/a&gt; is later sold, the recipient is taxed on the entire capital gain.

Because of this diffe&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=32999"&gt;r&lt;/a&gt;ing tax treatment, the best usual solution depends on &lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33000"&gt;y&lt;/a&gt;our age and the choice of assets available.

If &lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33002"&gt;y&lt;/a&gt;ou’&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33001"&gt;r&lt;/a&gt;e in your 70s or older, you generally should give assets whose cost basis is close to current value, such as cash and bonds. Let the recipients inherit appreciated assets, such as common stock, through your estate to avoid capital gains.

If &lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33004"&gt;y&lt;/a&gt;ou’&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33003"&gt;r&lt;/a&gt;e younger—in your 40s or 50s, say—give appreciated assets to your relatives, to get future appreciation out of your estate.

But the &lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33005"&gt;r&lt;/a&gt;ecipients’ potential tax liabilit&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33006"&gt;y&lt;/a&gt; is a key factor too. For 2010, taxpayers in the 10-15 percent federal tax brackets pay no tax on long-term capital gains.

So app&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33007"&gt;r&lt;/a&gt;eciated assets often are the best to use in such cases. A married couple filing a joint tax return can have up to $65,000 in taxable income and still be in the zero-percent bracket for most long-term gains and dividend income.  

Bewa&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33009"&gt;r&lt;/a&gt;e here of the “Kiddie Tax”: A child’s 2009 unearned income in excess of $1,900 is taxed at the parents’ marginal tax rate. In general, this applies to college students up to age 23. Children aged 18-23 escape the extra tax if the&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33010"&gt;y&lt;/a&gt; have earned income that exceeds one-half of their total support. 

To avoid the Kiddie Tax, sp&lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33011"&gt;r&lt;/a&gt;ead out gains and investment income over several &lt;a href="http://rss.icerocket.com/xmlfeed?id=33012"&gt;y&lt;/a&gt;ears so they don’t exceed $1,900 in annual investment income. And gifts of appreciated securities will qualify for tax-free realized long-term gains if made to recipients who are out of school with low earnings or still in school but older than 23.
