The Shape of Water (2017): Del Toro’s Return to Form (Review)

. the-shape-of-water-richard-jenkins-sally-hawkins

Guillermo del Toro returns to form with The Shape of Water. This 2017 offering, co-written by del Toro with Vanessa Taylor, stars Sally Hawkins as the mute girl who befriends the creature. Michael Shannon is the villain, Richard Jenkins; the reluctant accomplice and Octavia Spencer the plucky sidekick. Doug Jones plays the South American amphibious creature/god.

The theme of this film is water, naturally, as both the environment for the underwater dweller worshipped by the locals as some sort of god and as the background for most of the events of the film. The creature bears more than a little resemblance to “monster” in  The Creature of the Black Lagoon but unlike good old Roscoe Browning’s creature, this one has no zipper running up its back.

Jones’ creature looks real and, even more importantly, plausible. Hawkins is the isolated cleaning woman trapped in a 1960’s world of racism, class structure and a world run by men for men. Women are second class citizens and one who has a speech impediment is on the very bottom of the totem pole.

Del Toro gives us a heroine that we fall immediately in love with. A woman whose existence is full of routine but who has the soul of a dancer, a singer and a romantic.  Although part of her daily preparations for work include industriously masturbating in a tub of water, deep down, Elisa Esposito has enough imagination to fill in many blanks in her life.

Jenkins is Giles, her next door neighbor. He is a closeted gay, at a time when homosexuality was still illegal, an artist and he is desperately trying to make ends meet and fall in love. Spencer is Zelda, the co-worker who looks out for her mute friend, and translates when required.

Michael Shannon is Strickland; the man who captured the creature and transported it to the scientific facility where it will be studied. Strickland is also, somewhat ironically, a very cold fish. He is humorless, vicious and utterly, it seems, without feeling.

Del Toro’s film asks what would have happened if the creature of the Black Lagoon had been captured at a time when the Russian’s were winning the space race and the Cold War was running full steam ahead. (Michael Stuhlbarg plays a crucial part as a scientist who is not all he seems.)

With The Shape if Water del Toro returns to his roots. The film has all the dark and terrible beauty of Pan’s Labyrinth and the whimsy of The Devil’s Backbone. We fall for the story and all its characters hook, line and sinker. The creature is not terrifying at all, we feel as much empathy as curiosity and Elisa’a inexplicable yearning and interest in the thing is not mystifying at all.

Doug Jones has given us a performance full of nuances, emotions and a certain depth that has never been seen before in a “creature feature.”

The film is classed as an adventure, fantasy, drama and it is indeed all three. It can also be seen as a romance as well as a heart pounding thriller. There are scenes that keep the viewer on the edge of their seat;  breath held as they silently urge the heroes on and others that fill the heart with warmth.

The Shape if Water has sets that are reminiscent of the underwater city in Bioshock and water does feature in practically every scene. Del Toro makes old films an important part of the story and the cast is perfect. Shannon gives us a man we love to hate and when the climax of the film arrives we are satisfied with his fate.

If there is any complaint at all about this marvelous feature it would be that the scars on Elisa’s neck are obvious from the first time we see them and we know that they will provide some sort of plot twist.

This is a full 5 star film that delivers across the board. The story, sets, costumes and performances all come together in a dark bit of art that touches the viewer’s heart. Catch this one when it comes out in the cinema (December 8) and get caught up in Guillermo del Toro’s return to form.

The Man Who Invented Christmas (2017): Having a Christmas Bawl

Adopted from the Les Stanford book; the screenplay by Susan Coyne, The Man Who Invented Christmas is Bharat Nalluri’s seasonal offering. This “bio-comedy/drama” elicits chuckles and a lot of tears in this telling of how Charles Dickens creates one of the most popular Christmas tales ever. Only the most cold hearted “Scrooge” of a viewer will not “bawl” his or her eyes out at the film’s story.

Dan Stevens is Dickens, Christoper Plummer is Scrooge, Jonathan Pryce is the feckless father that Charles Dickens loves to hate and newcomer Anna Murphy is Tara; the Irish maid who becomes, to a degree, Dickens’ muse. The cast is full of splendid English character actors who are all familiar faces to those across the pond and each helps to bring this tale to brilliant life.

In The Man Who Invented Christmas the once celebrated author has had three flops in a row and he is suffering writer’s block. A chance incident provides inspiration and while his erstwhile agent and friend  (played by the brilliant John Edwards) supports the increasingly desperate writer.

There are elements of melodrama in this Christmas tale about the miser who changes his ways after being visited by three spirits on Christmas Eve. Nalluri gives us a Dickens with a bootblack background who interacts with the character’s of his books as he works toward a satisfactory ending.

The sets, the costumes and the actors all go toward recreating London in the early 1840s. Dickens is a tortured soul with more than enough “Scrooge” in his soul to upset everyone who loves him. His wife suffers his mood swings and foul temper as best she can and Charles’ father tries too hard to atone for his past sins.

Despite the drama, there are many amusing elements to the film and with the cream of English filmdom applying their trade almost effortlessly, there is no doubt that this new “take” on “A Christmas Carol” will also become a classic. All the performers work seamlessly  making  their characters fit together  perfectly.

Personal favorite Simon Callow  plays Leech, the illustrator with his usual flair and the delightful Miriam Margolyes, as well as Morfydd Clark and Ger Ryan, prove that the ladies in this cast are no shirkers in the acting department either.

The Man Who Invented Christmas contains enough glimpses, and nods and winks, to the tale that has been made into plays, films and television adaptations,  that fans of the story will be moved to tears repeatedly. This drama/comedy with its biographical overtones may be an imaginative and somewhat fanciful look at how Dickens created Scrooge and, indeed, all his characters but it works beautifully.

Having seen the late Albert Newly bring Scrooge to life in 1994 on a London stage and turn in a performance that was, in a word, brilliant, it was just as impressive to see what Plummer does with this famous character. The Canadian octogenarian makes the miser his own and bestows a sly wit upon this curmudgeonly workhouse fan.

The Man Who Invented Christmas is a tearful 5 star effort. If watched in the cinema, the viewer should brings copious amounts of tissues and prepare to be embarrassed by all the fluid streaming down their face.

This one is a winner.

Get Out (2017): Blackly Comic Horror (Review)

Written and directed by Jordan Peele (this is his maiden voyage as the man in the “big” chair) Get Out was inspired by an Eddie Murphy gag and borrows, just a tad, from other films. It is, overall, a blackly comic horror film that feels like a splendidly dark and morbid punchline.  The movie can, and does, make one feel uncomfortable and amused – often in the same scene.

We follow Chris Washington (played brilliantly by Daniel Kaluuya) as he goes, reluctantly, to visit his girlfriend’s parents. Rose Armitage (Allison Williams) is college co-ed cute – all big eyes, perfect teeth with an odd combination of droll yet goofy wit – who has arranged for Chris to meet the fam.

All is not what it seems, however, as once Chris arrives in upstate New York, he finds his future in-laws are a combination of “trying too hard” and slightly antagonistic. Rose’s mum is a hypnotherapist who promises to cure Chris of his nasty smoking habit. Dad, a bit of east coast “whitebread,” tries to go ghetto and brother Dean is a snot.

Even without the kidnapping that takes place at the very start of the film, we feel uncomfortable and Peele manages to put the audience firmly in Chris’s shoes. The sense of unease increases even before Chris sits down with “mum” for that first unwitting hypnotherapy session.

The “big weekend” amps things up nicely as all the guests ask Chris seemingly inane and overly personal questions. (Including one strange interlude that harkens back to Madeline Kahn and “Blazing Saddles.”) He also meets, along the way, the two servants who work for the Armitage family.

All the black people he meets act oddly.  There are jarring moments: The maid’s unexplained tears, the handyman’s running in the middle of the night, the old woman with the hat-wearing young black man and the emphasis of the “white” diction used by all the above. There is another tense and weird scene where the flash of a camera gives “hat man” a nose bleed.

(This scene also harkens back to the Eddie Murphy gag about “Get out!”)

Peele has taken a concept which, initially, looks to be all about racism and turns it into a mix of neuroscience and immortality. It can also be seen as a snapshot analysis of social satire, a’la the 1989 Billy Warlock film “Society.”

(One could arguably compare the plot line with the 2005 voodoo horror film “The Skeleton Key.” Get Out addresses the same issues of living forever without all the magical hugger mugger of the Kate Hudson film…)

Get Out manages to both creep the viewer out, elicit a fair amount of chuckles and  shock in all the right places. There are sharp scary moments, the gardener running at Chris for example, and the place Chris is sent to after his session with mother disturbs on a much deeper level.

It is the mismatch of stereotypes that provides much of the comedy:  Chris’s best friend with his, mostly, improvised dialogue and the septuagenarian diction and speech patterns emerging from the servants and hat man  who  interact all too briefly with our hero at the party mixes absurdity with blackly comic moments that delight and add the right amount of quirky fear to the formula.

Get Out is a full five star film. It is full of slyly hidden black comedy that reveals itself with repeated viewings. Peele gives us a low budget masterpiece that earns each and every one of its Oscar nominations. If you haven’t already, check this one out and be prepared to be massively entertained.

Longmire (Season 6): Episode 1 ‘The Eagle and the Osprey’ (Review)

The last season of Longmire has, at long last, arrived. Watching the first episode, put off as long as possible, was a bittersweet experience. We have grown to love all these characters; their foibles as well as their strengths and follies. Episode one of season six takes up where the season five finale finished.

The opening is a tease. We see a man in a cowboy hat robbing a bank. Shots are interspersed of another man hiding money in jars and ziplock bags. The implication, for a split second, is that Walt Longmire has robbed the place and is burying the proceeds on his property.

Bank robberies aside, Henry’s life is still hanging in the balance as Darius’s thugs watch him slowly die of dehydration and Cady tries to make sense of her vision. Malachi is still in the wind and Officer Mathias, after discovering Henry’s truck, is hunting for his old Hector Lives partner.

Overall, this was a satisfying start to the final season of Longmire. Walt is “circling the wagons” for the upcoming attack (trial) and Vic is proving, yet again, that she would walk through fire for her boss. The Ferg jeopardizes his relationship with the nurse and Walt risks his life to save his old friend.

Jacob Nighthorse was missing in this opening salvo but it is apparent that Walt will be questioning him soon about Malachi. There is the ongoing mystery of Cowboy Bill and the Mayor shows his teeth, and his true colours.

Marilyn, the Crow Medicine Woman,  reappears and after shooting Henry’s captors refuses to save him. Instead she takes the only container with water, leaves some totems on the ground and tells Standing Bear that if he is a true warrior, the spirits will save him.

Later, somewhat touchingly, Walt gives the Medicine Woman the money from his closed bank account. She takes the money and then leads the lawman to his friend, only to disappear when Walt finds Henry. Longmire makes a travois out of his coat and some stakes but is bitten by a rattlesnake on the way back to the truck.

By the end of the episode we learn that Cowboy Bob most certainly did not rob the bank. Cady and Walt reunite and it seems that Henry and Walt have not shattered their friendship after all. (The Ferg also appears to have patched things up with his nurse…)

There are some things that jar. For example: Would Walt have gone up and disturbed an area where snakes tend to congregate? There is no mention of Vic’s “condition” and Cady still manages to irritate the hell out of this viewer with her attitude.

The urge to binge the final season of Longmire has been dampened by the thought that this will be our final journey with the Wyoming lawman. (And an overabundance of films that need attention prior to the Oscars voting coming up soon…)

Without jumping ahead to any of the available episodes, it is our guess that Malachi has robbed the bank since his massive revenue from those Irish Mob deals has dried up. Time, and the rest of the final episodes,  will tell.

The Ballad of Lefty Brown (2017): Life of an “Also Ran” (Review)

The Ballad of Lefty Brown is an interesting concept from start to finish. Part homage – it pays more than a little tribute to both The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance and The Unforgiven – with a story about a western “also ran” who did not make the pages of the penny dreadfuls of the time. Written and directed by  Jared Moshe, the film is described as a “coming of age” film.

Lefty Brown, played brilliantly by personal favorite Bill Pullman, is a “man-child.” His implied backstory is that at one time he and three other partners terrorized the southwest territory. One of these is going to be the new senator (Peter Fonda in a small but pivotal role) and after his death, two other old friends arrive to sort things out.

The film gives us a protagonist that, at times, is both simple and sly. One wonders just how much of Lefty Brown’s “slowness” is real. There are many instances where this character appears to be more than meets the eye.

We are privy to Lefty’s journey and Moshe gives us a story that pleases almost as much as it dismays. Pullman’s character goes through his paces with a doggedness that one assumes has been his main trait since birth.

It is his very pedantic, and simple,  approach to all things that has kept him from gracing the pages of the dime novel that the greenhorn Jeremiah (played very well by newcomer Diego Josef) carries with him in the film. Jim Caviezel and the splendid Scottish actor Tommy Flanagan are outstanding as the two old pals who were once part of the “gang.”

Kathy Baker is spot on as the bitter and angry widow who fights for what is rightfully hers and the tale, while coming across as rather dire, is interesting enough to keep one glued to the seat for the climax. At just under two hours, The Ballad of Lefty Brown successfully manages to combine a character study with the western genre.

This is Pullman’s film. From start to finish he commands the screen with his characterization of a man destined to be forgotten by all who knew him and it is Oscar-worthy. “Lefty Brown” combines music, sets and costumes effectively to make this oddly intimate film feel like a sweeping epic, along the lines of a John Ford (Cheyenne Autumn for example) western with just a touch of Spaghetti Western for good measure.

There is not an awful lot in the way of gun play, just one short gunfight in the middle, and the violence is not overly visceral in nature. This is more of a character study as we watch a man whose life has always been, it seems, outside the action.

However, there is the hint of a backstory that is slightly evocative of the Ford classic, “The Searchers” where the marshal’s wife was kidnapped by a Native American Tribe and one of the small group wishes for the good old days when “folks’ trembled before them.

This is an American West that resembles the AMC Robert Redford retelling of this countries history. It is all corrupt politics and bad men profiting from their past. Somethings, apparently, have not changed.

The Ballad of Lefty Brown is a solid 5 star film that delivers some solid performances from all the leads and gives Bill Pullman a real chance at garnering some awards.  Fans of the genre will love this homage to all things western.

mindfulness based stress reductio with marina caroli

“Three decades of scientific research evidence at UMAss and at medical centres all over the world suggest that MBSR can positively affect participants’ ability to manage medical symptoms and psychological distress while learning to live more fully”.
University of Mussachusettes

In 1979 the University of Mussachusettes Stress Reduction Clinic introduced mindfulness meditation into mainstream medicine. Since then tens of thousands of people have completed have taken the mindfulness based stress reduction course developed by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn at Umass Stress Reduction Clinic. The Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction course is the most widely course world-wide to teach mindfulness. Most of the research evidence is linked to this course and its adaptations for specific groups and concerns. Other mindfulness-based programmes that are very similar are:

  • Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)
  • Breathworks Mindfulness® for Stress
  • Breathworks Mindfulness® for Pain and Illness
  • Mindfulness Based Living Course (MBLC)
  • Mindfulness Based Childbirth and Parenting (MBCP)
  • Mindfulness Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP)

Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is an 8-session course that is taught in a variety of settings in health care, social care, education and workplace wellbeing with great success.

The main aim of this programme is for participants to learn new ways of recognising and relating to thoughts, feelings, sensations, emotions and experiences. This intensive is aimed at beginners, who would like to use mindfulness to make different choices in life.

The sessions are very practical. In fact, most of the session is spent practicing mindfulness exercises and engaging in group discussions. During the course different aspects are explored. Some of the topics covered include: stressful situations, stressful communications, etc. Each session, and the associated home practices, will help participants to gain a better understanding of their own wellbeing in an experiential rather than a conceptualised way.

If you are based in London and would like to know more about this course or other courses offered, please join our mailing list.

If you are considering this course in your organisation, please arrange a FREE initial consultation to discuss the needs of your organisation.

A woman in Nepal

Help vulnerable people overcome disaster, poverty, and discrimination

Mission East works to lift vulnerable people and communities out of extreme poverty, mainly in the remote Karnali Zone in western Nepal. When a major natural disaster occurs anywhere in the country, we step in with emergency relief.

The communities in Nepal’s Karnali Region are among the most isolated in the world. The area can only be reached on foot which takes several days. Due to this isolation and the lack of basic services, people live in extreme poverty and struggle to feed their families. Many children die because of diseases linked to contaminated water and poor hygiene. The area is also prone to natural disasters.

Mission East began its work in Karnali in 2007 focusing on improving access to clean water and hygiene to decrease incidences of disease. Together with local partners, we have since widened our focus to include disaster risk reduction, food security, livelihoods improvement, and strengthening the realisation of rights of marginalised groups such as Dalits, people with disabilities, and women.

Nepal 1
Nepal 2

The caste system continues to rule much of daily life in Nepal, and Dalits – the so-called untouchables – are those suffering most from systematic discrimination. People with disabilities are also often excluded from community life. Due to the harsh living conditions with recurring natural disasters, insufficient roads and lacking health services, disabilities are widespread. Mission East aims to always include vulnerable groups such as Dalits and people with disabilities in our projects.

Women also face severe discrimination, which manifests itself in child marriages, illiteracy and heavy workloads at home. Through Mission East's literacy groups, women are taught about their rights and how to improve living conditions by starting up small businesses.

When a major natural disaster occurs in Nepal, such as the 2015 earthquakes and the severe flooding in late summer 2017, we work together with local and international partners to provide immediate emergency relief. In the aftermath of the disaster we help people rebuild their homes and livelihoods so that they can return to normal lives. In our disaster response we also have a strong focus on including the most vulnerable groups to make sure no one is left behind.

Take part in helping Nepal’s vulnerable communities overcoming poverty and disaster!

Inspiration for Diverse Halloween Costumes for Your Mixed Kids

Halloween is next week and while I’m thinking of the usual ideas like zombies, witches and ghosts, for the first time, I’d like my daughters to consider that representation matters.

I’d like them to see themselves represented, not just in the shows they watch, the books they read and the movies they go to but ALSO in the costumes they choose. Why not? They’re still young enough to want to dress up- even when it’s not halloween.

They seem to have a million and one princess dresses but I’ve been trying to be intentional about finding them non-princessy type dressing up outfits. Since then, I’ve added a fire fighter, police officer, pilot and construction worker to our dressing up box.

So this year, for Halloween, I’m not just thinking about gender but about real life (or fictional) characters who are black or non-white and in whom my kids might see themselves reflected. Even if they’re joke characters, it’s important that there are diverse  characters that look like them. Few as there might be, I’m determined that they see them.

Try some of these out and tell me about more so I can add them below!

Diverse Halloween Costumes Ideas

Our favourite Disney princess, if you’re daughter is obsessed with dressing up as her favourite Disney character, why not play feature Moana this family movie night and see how keen she is to wear Tafiti’s heart.

Black Panther

Sort of a no-brainer, Black Panther was THE black superhero we’ve all been waiting for. Look no further for a great superhero for your black son or daughter. Great costume, great movie.

Frida Kahlo

For your art-inspired little ‘uns, Frida Kahlo’s style lends itself perfectly for Halloween costume inspiration. Her story is intriguing as well. She will, no doubt, become your daughter’s new hero.

Princess Tiana

Again, a no-brainer for your Disney inspired princesses. Princess Tiana is a great black character and inspiration for frilly, sparkly obsessed little princesses.

Shuri Black Panther

Wow. I love this costume. Not just for the character in the movie, but for how cool it looks too. More superhero inspiration for kids wanting to shun the usual gender-specific costumes but instead come out fighting.

Looking for something different? Go historical. One of the most intriguing women of our history, Cleopatra is a perfect fit. Teach your daughters and sons about her and Anthony, her empire and her eventual fall. Great history lesson along with a very cool costume.

Rhianna from Home

Diverse Halloween costumes No need to buy anything here. Simply don your child in an orange coat and jeans and see how cute they’ll look impersonating the cutest character from Home.

We all love Maui from the wonderful Moana movie. He’s a great character and has inspired many little boys.

Mr T

We had to go 80’s! Always a winner for any little boy. He’s funny, tough, has his own style and will make you take a walk down memory lane.

Doc McStuffins

Good ol’ Doc McStuffins will never disappoint. She’s an aspiring doctor, black and a girl. You don’t get better role models than that. Let your daughters dress up and bring along a stuffy  to complete the outfit.

Michael Jackson

And finally….’ it doesn’t matter if you’re black or white’, Michael Jackson appeals to ALL children- even years after his death. He’s still the king of pop so get your kids to dance along to some of his best hits and they’ll be killing it on the dance floor.

Good luck and have fun with it!!

The head chef at Otoko in Austin, TX incorporates Texas ingredients, kaiseki culture and his own musical sensibilities into a 3-hour sushi service.

Hannah Walhout
June 15, 2017

“The second that I tasted my first bite at Otoko, Yoshi Okai’s restaurant in Austin, I knew that I was looking at a Best New Chef.”

Strong words from mkgallery’s Restaurant Editor Jordana Rothman, describing one of the most inventive and irreverent omakase s in the country today.

Okai, who hails from Kyoto, is what mkgallery Editor in Chief Nilou Motamed describes as a “rock and roll sushi chef.” He’s a punk musician—and Austin, his longtime adopted city, is the perfect place for him to flex his musical muscles after restaurant hours.

For Okai, these dual passions have always been intertwined. He started cooking professionally, drawing on his experience back in Japan working for a family catering company after the breakup of an erstwhile punk project many years ago. “I came to realize that cooking is very similar to music,” he says. “And since my music career didn’t really take off, I decided to pour the same passion for music into cooking and becoming a chef.”

Okai’s food is refined and thoughtful, but like his music, it’s anything but quiet. His behind-the-counter energy is palpable, and the team doesn’t shy away from spectacle every now and then—”Once every three months,” says Okai, “we host an event where we bring the full tuna and cut the fish in front of 50 to 60 people....this gives me a lot of adrenaline.”

Rothman attributes some of this spark to Okai’s interdisciplinary approach to food, describing how “he talks about his cooking in sort of musical terms.” These confluences are what help him create and innovate while keeping his cheeky, rambunctious aesthetic intact—Rothman notes that “he’ll talk about how the Rolling Stones or The Beatles have this sort of core identity as musicians, but that they adapted very smartly over the years to new audiences so that they could stay modern.”

Okai, whose restaurant constantly teases out what a sushi experience can be—playing R&B through the understated 12-seat dining room, for example, or incorporating elements of Central Texas BBQ into his nigiri—“talks about his cooking in the same way.”

Ah the internet, where at anytime you have no idea who you are talking to nor where they come from. So through a string of events I cracked a joke when another I was talking to made a typo and I said "I don't speak beaner nor invasionese." Well another in the chat who was from south America, took note and became really offended at the term "Invasionese". Of course to them an most of the other this made me seem like a racist, as if I care. But why so offended? Seriously? As if Beaner isn't offensive? But they went on as to say "Don't say that Spanish is Invasionese"

When I was referring to the word, I was trying to play into context of the caravan invasion but really as if I would have them figure that out. When I tried to explain sovereignty, I think they were in disbelief as if that made me more bigoted or racist? I may of offended this person but really, why are they offended if they aren't invading another country? How many times have America been called "Imperialist Pigs" and English as "The Language of Western Culture", remembering how they loath western culture and call it evil.

People today don't have thick skins, they are weak and pathetic and take offense to every single thing there is. The moment you dare lash out and throw a few punches yourself, you are suddenly the bad guy. Honestly don't fucking care.

But in all seriousness, what does MPOL think of the term "Invasionese" is that offensive? Did I go too far with out realizing how it could be offensive? Or really do people just need to learn how to stop allowing themselves to get their panties in a bind over stupid shit?

I've never heard of "Invasionese" before. I think I ought to start using it. I usually to the Spanish language as "Mexican." Maybe "invasionese" would be a good term for Arabic or other languages instead or as well

I agree with both of the first posters. Invasionese is a great term and you should be proud of it.

I swear if that term starts trending, I would be surprised.

People get offended the most by the truth. And emotional reactions are all that is left when no logical rebuttal can be used. You can only laugh something off if your armour does not get pierced.

Spain are invaders, Spanish is a language of invaders and very relevant to South America.

2356d No.187556

That was a good line of what you said, "You can only laugh something off if your armour doesn't not get pierced." I always heard of those that are 'thin skinned' but it just the way you said it that made it quite elegant.

Yeah, Most of all of Europe are no more than conquers, invaders, settlers and pioneers. Even if it was derogatory when I used it, fuck, own it like a badge. Years of conquest to build a nation and years more of war, conquest, and invasion. All because we want a better life ay?

Also checked.

9b0c9 No.187564

Thank you. I should probably correct "South America" to "Mexico" because technically it is in the North American continent.
I don't think modern culture has the right to retroactively just past cultures. Different times, different pressures to cope with. Human migration and invasion is natural, see all of history and pre-history. (Homosapians should have stayed out of Europe! Europe in Neanderthal clay!)

The anti-invader current climate is relevant to today's national actions (not the past) and is also today a culture war weapon. (Humans can't escape that they are clan based, war-like predators.) If any Libs are concerned about past invasions they could stand up for their cause by returning to Europe today. You have to go back!

We are at that awkward point of being more and more mutually integrated by high speed travel and communications but with a legacy of clan based historical perspectives. It's an improvement that we are emotionally shooting each other rather than physically doing it.

This will all smooth out as the centuries roll by. It's not a conspiracy, it's entropy.

2356d No.187566

The great heat death, if only. Perhaps one day it will happen on earth but that in my humble opinion would only be if we most likely kill all ourselves first. The next big conquest is space, it will be locally at first but mark my words it will stretch beyond the influence of earth and stretch into the cosmos. Our Moon, Mars, Venus, and the far reach of our solar system are just stepping stones. As long as there are places to reach for, we can never smooth out. Just think, a globalist would be synonymous with Nationalist, but the entire globe would be one nation, we would be fighting for mars and it's independence, who knows, the moon might revolt too. Never know what could happen when we keep reaching for the stars. Given we don't all die off first.

And I sorta agree that we have improved over the years of emotionally shooting another, but let's hope that emotions don't run wild. When so many run on emotions, it can lead to war.

9b0c9 No.187568

Have you watched The Expanse? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3230854/ Yes, you'd be right, globalists end up just being a faction when we are a space civilization. And over time they develop separate cultures. Interestingly they would be unlikely to be race based(?). But humanity has no problem with dividing and fighting over any difference. Really it is just excuses to control the resources for continuation of your culture/ideas/beliefs the rest is just propaganda.

The mass psychological "system" we "occupy" is self correcting, including in negative ways, whilst preserving that humans are freewilled/random. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attractor#Strange_attractor ). When a civilization becomes flush will resources it used to lead to baby booms (and perhaps slaves) but with contraception and modern morality it now becomes flush with randomised perspectives and opinions and the free time and excess resources are then used to fight each other (see social media) rather than raise those kids which would soak up those excess resources and time. This means there is an upper limit to how utopian we can get. We seem to be in the process of tearing down the social infrastructure of the West, "because we are bored and it's was fun."

Humanity can't do large scale integration, it would need to be done via globalist authoritarianism, technology or mind control. Moving into space creates even more division because while oceans and mountain ranges are large, space is larger. So yes, I suppose it won't smooth out …. unless globalists hide space tech from us ……

Should a non-united planet go into space?

2356d No.187573

We have already went into space and locally have become united. ISS is probably the only place with in the sphere of influence of earth that USA and RUSSIA are not at war. Funny how that is.

Our desires to expand will continue as it is the next frontier. We conquered flight and now travel anywhere on the globe in a matter of hours, not months. When we did take flight, it changed forever the way we fight war. War is coming but I think it will be mostly in space, just like how airplanes was the next big thing, everything will be in space. It will probably result in WWIII and just like WWII which lead to more unification, the UN, EU, NATO and so on, I believe it will happen again but unifying the nation.

I feel this will be a good thing only at first as we then focus on expanding in space but only to have the power in charge become more tyrannical and places like the moon and mars will be the new "America" which will colonize and revolt against the tyrant. This will probably continue for eons. Our nations are built by land masses, then it will be by planets and moons, then the solar system, then it will expand to other systems, eventually it will take the entire arm of galaxy's and the entire galaxy itself. We will grow exponentially till everything is conquered or simply dies off. We don't know what is out there and chances are there are others out there that has been at this allot longer than we have. Just like the neanderthals, they didn't last forever and were replaced. Perhaps we could travel the stars, perhaps we too are destined to be replaced.

Also, never watched The Expanse. Perhaps I will look into it.

9b0c9 No.187576

Because there is a lack of opportunity to do it as a single nation. And even less so as the world ages and economically falters in the near future.

>War is coming but I think it will be mostly in space

and like aeroplanes they will bomb or directed-energy-weapon what is on the ground. You have to take out the production facilities to make winning faster. Satellites shooting and dodging satellites is amusing though.

>Our desires to expand will continue as it is the next frontier.

It has to be economically fruitful. So asteroid/comet mining. And then the economics will need to be militarily protected. Which means if nations are the prime way Earth operates, space objects will become nations property. Probably creating more economic disparity and then more migration tensions. No free lunches. No good deed goes unpunished.

>WWII which lead to more unification, the UN, EU, NATO and so on

Nothing scares the elite more than competing elites with big weapons. Best to unite the various cabals into the global cabal. Which periodically will be overthrown by an over-abuse public.

>places like the moon and mars will be the new "America"

>we would be fighting for mars
The greater the division (physical or ideological) the more likely the conflict. Martians aren't going to like being strip mined for rich Earthers.
You definitely need to watch The Expanse. It covers all of this we are discussing.

People do what hurts the least. People don't do what is the best (best takes effort which is a pain). When it hurts more to not work together then we will work together. The UN is the world fleeing from the pain of Armageddon. Later it is an opportunity for the 3% of the human psychopaths to play power games. Followed by the 3% of males who are pedophiles.

To improve humanity, we need to improve the faulty human.

Everytime a latino speaks about racism, I have to look a bit with disbelief.
I mean, here in Argentina is easy to be racist when most latinos segregate themselves.
Plus, is funny when a latino speaks about racism when they can throw worse slurs against racists.
There's a song called frijolero (beaner) by Molotov.
At one point, a border patrol officer says:
>Don't call me gringo you fuckin' beaner. Stay on your side of that goddamn river.
>Don't call me gringo, you beaner.
And the singer replies:
>No me digas beaner Mr. Puñetero.
Don't call me beaner Mr Assfag (slang for somebody who takes fists up his ass)
>Te sacaré un susto por racista y culero.
I'm going to scare you (slang for punch him) for racist and a fag
>No me llames frijolero pinche gringo puñetero.
Don't call me beaner fucking gringo assfag

"Invasionese" sounds like a chinese invasion. Or a different brand of mayoinese.

>When I tried to explain sovereignty, I think they were in disbelief as if that made me more bigoted or racist?
This is one of the things about Leftists that annoys me the most. The mere concept of sovereign states is offensive to them.
It must not fit into their global communist Utopia dream.
In the U.S. liberals consider calling illegal immigrants "invaders" to be offensive, so they would consider that term to also be offensive. Any vaguely-negative connotation applied to shitskins is going to be offensive to leftists.
I, for one, consider illegal immigrants to be invaders; so I don't care.
That aside, "invasionese" has a sound to it like it was intended to be a bit edgy. If your message was to say that illegal immigrants are barbaric invaders and criminals who don't respect our nation sovereignty (which they most certainly are), then it fits, but not if you don't want to offend the crybabies.

2356d No.188037

With the whole "beaner" and "Invaisonese" when I used it, it was because one person was correcting me that the mistyped word would of not been Spanish, to which I spoke, "I don't speak invaisonese" I guess I had in the back of my mind the whole Caravan thing and were more or less attacking the language. Oh well.

And yes, when it comes down to many today, everyone has this false vision of everyone sitting around a canpfire singing cu.bye.ya or how ever you say it. Then again, they reject God so scratch that they just want to get high.

Air Conditioning

View Topic

Let's talk about air conditioning service and repair issues for the Haiku HI area. Most of us in Wailuku we don't give our air conditioning a second thought as long as it's making cold air. But it's a complex and expensive system that we should think about before it starts blowing hot air.

The refrigerant in the air conditioner contains a special oil that lubricates and cools the A/C parts. When enough refrigerant leaks out, your air conditioner still makes cold air, but the parts don't have enough oil to protect them and they wear out faster than they should so it's important to service the air conditioner as recommended by your Wailuku HI service center.

Replacing old refrigerant has another benefit: refrigerant tends to gather moisture and become corrosive. That causes leaks in the system which can be expensive to repair. Fresh refrigerant protects the air conditioning components and keeps the system operating at peak efficiency so it doesn't have to work as hard to keep you cool.

Even with regular service A/C parts can just wear out. Normal wear and tear eventually gets to all moving parts.

Addressing early problems can save on more extensive repairs down the road. For instance, a common failure is the clutch that turns the compressor on and off. If you can take care of a bad A/C clutch when it first starts having problems, you may be able to save the compressor. Wait too long and you'll have to replace both.

Check your owner's manual or ask your Wailuku service advisor at M & M Repair for service recommendations. And if you're hearing strange sounds when your air conditioning turns on, or if it just isn't as cold as it used to be, have us give it the once over and see what it'll take to keep you cool.

The Federal Environmental Protection Agency regulates the type of refrigerant you can use in your air conditioner. Your Wailuku service technicians are current on EPA rules for properly removing and disposing of used refrigerant, protecting the environment while keeping you cool. At M & M Repair in Wailuku we install quality NAPA replacement parts. Give us a call at 808.268.2931 and let us help keep you safely and economically on the road.

Culture House, Limerick

My travels around Ireland took me to Limerick City today. Locals gathered in the beautiful surrounds of Culture House in Pery Square to share their memories of 1960s Ireland, and it was great to have some male perspectives in the room too.

It was wonderful to hear one older member of the audience remark that she planned on writing her memoirs for her grandchildren. She lamented how, when she was growing up, children were discouraged from asking questions. And while her grandchildren might not necessarily be interested in her life story now, they probably will wonder about elements in years to come. Writing and leaving her memoirs would be an important of ensuring that a record of her life exists for generations –– this is essentially the thinking behind the People’s Archive I am creating.

No2 Pery Square Multi-Shots

We covered many of the themes raised at earlier road shows, but interestingly Churching was mentioned for the first time at this afternoon’s event. For those unfamiliar, Churching was the practice of blessing a woman after giving birth. Originally believed to be about cleansing the woman, one member of the audience pointed out that the translation of mass from Latin to English revealed that Churching was actually more of a blessing for the mother and child. Nonetheless, the women in the room were generally outraged at the idea, and it was suggested that the practice was largely about raising money for the church.

The Housewife of the Year competition was inaugurated in 1967. Sponsored by Woman’s Way, McDonnell’s and the ESB, this national contest ran annually until the 1990s. The first winner was Mrs Kay Johnson of Limerick, and I was delighted that members of her family were able to join us today.

Dick Johnson and family
Dick Johnson and family

After the road show ended, I had the opportunity to sit down with the Johnson family to discuss Kay, who sadly passed away in the 1970s. Listening to their recollections, Kay was clearly a remarkable woman. Having worked in Kenya, she developed a very international repertoire of cooking – something that set her apart from her competitors during the cooking portion of the Housewife competition. She was also skilled at arts and craft, was very sporty, and was a very elegant woman. Her family brought along her engagement ring, the bracelet that she was wearing in the picture that appeared on the front cover of Woman’s Way and a scrap book of the coverage her win received.

Kay Johnson

I am extremely grateful to Culture House for providing today’s venue, and to Emma Gilleece who did so much to promote the road show and to co-ordinate from Limerick. Next step: Waterford.

Galway City Library

The sun has finally come out and where better to be than Galway?! Unfortunately, the lovely weather seems to have deterred people from coming in-doors — who could blame them? — but there was still scope for an entertaining chat at Galway City Library this evening.

Galway City Library
Galway City Library, St Augustine Street

The conversation further confirmed a now consistent trend: new technologies might have been the symbol of a new, modern Ireland in the 1960s, but for many households — particularly in rural Ireland — they weren’t an option. The absence of electricity and running water meant that electric cookers, washing machines and fridges simply couldn’t be part of everyday life.

But even when there was the possibility to install such items in a kitchen, there was skepticism. One woman recounted how her mother was adamant that a washing machine would not wash the clothes as well as she could.

There was also an interesting observation from the audience about women becoming sources of knowledge: men might have paid for the new technologies that came into the home, but it was the women who operated them. Learning to do so not only expanded their knowledge base, but also gave them a type of power.

On a side note, I fell in love with the children’s section of the library (where my talk was held). While most libraries have a children’s corner, Galway library has a large room dedicated to children and young adult readers. The wonderful ‘tree’ feature in the middle of the room made me want to grab a book and sit beneath it!

Some furry friends were eagerly waiting in the library when I arrived!

Monaghan County Museum

My tour of Ireland recently took me to Monaghan on a glorious sunny afternoon. Bernie Bradley very kindly invited to bring the road show to Monaghan County Museum as part of Social Inclusion Week.

It was a really enjoyable afternoon in the intimate setting of one of the museum’s exhibition rooms. This was the first time that I was hearing about everyday life in a border county.  While many of the familiar themes that have come up at other road shows were repeated, there were lots of stories associated with the border. The women who came along talked about smuggling butter, stuffed in the pockets of aprons worn under dressed, across the border, and of going to the North to buy clothes for the children and changing into them before crossing back. It was also fascinating to hear about the mobile shops that came to the rural communities a few times a week, selling essential items.  Much like the conversation in Portlaoise, there were stories about life before electricity and running water in the home.

This series of road shows around the country really emphasise the importance of considering geographical variations when writing about the everyday life of women in 1960s Ireland. Certainly, there are themes that are universally common, but each community has its own nuances. Hopefully, these distinguishing features will be aptly captured in the People’s Archive I’m working on.

As a side note, I was fortunate to see the World Within Walls exhibition at the Museum while I was there. This exhibition explores the histories and memories of St Davnet’s Asylum in Monaghan Town. It blends the experiences of patient and staff, and locates them within the structures and features of the Asylum.

Greystones Library

The heavens opened as I drove into Greystones earlier today for the latest road show. I wondered if the downpour would turn people off, but happily there was a great turnout — and by the time I’d finished, the sun had come out!

A piece of Nelson’s Pillar, brought by Claire Kelly.

It was a great afternoon, and I was blown away by the amount of items people brought along: diaries, letters, photographs, an array of dress patterns, a chamber pot, and even a piece of Nelson’s Pillar! After a lively conversation about life in the 1960s, a queue formed as numerous women waited to have their items digitised for inclusion in the People’s Archive I’m creating.

The stories attached to some of the items were wonderful. Particularly striking was Claire Kelly’s photograph of the airport in Ibiza in 1960/61. Not only was the airport tiny, but it was also such an unusual destination for Irish travel in the 1960s — I’m very much looking forward to a follow up interview!

I am extremely grateful to Amye Quigley and the staff at the Greystones Library for hosting the event, and for doing such a great job with publicising it.

Next up: Monaghan.

LexIcon Library

On Tuesday evening, I took the road show to the LexIcon Library in Dún Laoghaire on Dublin’s south-side. This new library — officially opened only a few months — has the most amazing facilities. In addition to the extensive bookshelves and exhibition display areas, there’s a fantastic theatre where I set up my road show. The library has a fantastic series of events lined up; be sure to check them out here.

There was a great turnout, and it was wonderful to see some men and even some teenagers in the audience! Some of the themes that have emerged at the earlier roadshows were apparent yet again. It’s seems conclusive that, for a sizeable portion of Irish society, the ‘modern house’ depicted in the pages of women’s magazines in the 1960s was an aspirational, rather than a realistic, one. A new theme also emerged — that of foreign publications. It was interesting to hear the audience talk about their preference for imported publications. It seems that Woman and Woman’s Weekly — especially with their love stories — were more appealing than the Irish Woman’s Way or Woman’s Choice. Of Irish produced literature, the Irish Messenger publications were more commonly read among many of those present.

A range of items — from children’s books to photos to an amazing dress — were brought along by some of the women. The dress is really beautiful —- an item of clothing that I think stands the test of time! Thank you, Deirdre, for bringing it along and allowing me to photograph it for inclusion in the People’s Archive I am creating.

I am extremely grateful to Marian Keyes, senior executive librarian, for making the event possible.

Publishing Values? at the NLI

I had the opportunity to talk at the National Library of Ireland on 20 May about the 1960s women’s magazines held in their collection. My talk, Publishing Values?, explored the extent to which magazines emphasised a continuation of traditional values, while at the same time challenging attitudes about the position of women in society.

10 Simple Steps to Becoming a Freelancer ...

In this economy, there are three types of winners in the job world. There are the charming/charismatic (aka bootlickers), there are the experienced, and there are the cheap. Managers are always going to want people around to kiss their behind. They may claim that they hate sycophants, but secretly they complement the boss’s ego. The experienced ones have an advantage over anyone who has put in fewer years than them, and the cheap have to work hard for very little.

What if you are not able (or don’t want to) do any of those three things. You are left with two choices; state benefit programs or going into business for yourself. Going into business for yourself is not as difficult as it appears. You don’t need an office, a mailbox rental, or even a company car. All you need is a skill and a lot of determination. If you have a skill, any skill, you can be a freelancer. If you can dig gardens then you can be a freelance gardener (call yourself a landscaper) and if you are great on the guitar then you can be a freelance guitar teacher. here is how to become a freelancer.

1. Take Stock of the Skills That You Have

You may be surprised at just how many skills you have. There are freelance jobs for just about anybody. There are beauty specialists, cooking specialists, carpet fitters, web designers, and advertising experts. Having just one skill is good, but if you have more than one skill, you should use it as an add-on service.

For example, you may be a diva with a chainsaw. You could trim the hedges of old people who cannot do the work themselves. As an additional extra, you could offer your services as a garden pond cleaner. The best thing is that as you are working on their hedges, you could have installed your pump into their pond and started it draining (remembering to remove the fish at some point). Another great thing is that these add-on services are often things that people wouldn’t think to purchase on their own but are happy to have done whilst you are working on the primary project.

Pulte House From Hell

Following is an Email I received about the “Pulte House From Hell“. It was interesting enough for me to post, but please bear in mind that time simply does not permit me to get involved in all such endeavors.

by Mish

Before diving into the house from hell let me first mention The Plight of The Implode-O-Meter. Implode-O-Meter has been sued, a motion to strike has been denied, and anyone wanting to help and/or anyone seeking more information can click on the above link for more details.

The Pulte house from hell:

My name is Susan Sabin.
I currently live in a house I purchased from Pulte Homes. I moved in on June 16, 2006 and after 28 days started experiencing problems. Almost one year later, the damage has accelerated to the point I have lost my homeowners insurance and Pulte denies any responsibility. I am not the only person in a subdivision that Pulte has built throughout the United States that is experiencing the same treatment. The website My Pulte Experience documents my experiences in detail.

I am fighting a multi-billion dollar company that couldn’t care less about me as a homeowner. Their treatment of me is the antithesis of their well defined campaign on customer satisfaction and delight. I have filed more complaints than I can count. I have gone to agencies and offices where most just offer a response similar to “what do you want me to do about it?”

If you would like to read more about my journey through hell, I was featured in the Money magazine in March 2007 (Shoddy construction), There are also two media broadcasts dated Nov 06 and June 07 on youtube.com where my house (and another homeowner with a defective house) was featured on KMBC 9 (local Kansas City).
Thank you for your time. I appreciate it.
Susan Sabin

Excerpts from Susan’s Website: My Pulte Experience

Since the October 11th 2006 inspection, the living floor has bowed in three places which can be visually seen causing the wooden floor slats to begin to separate. There are more cracks in the drywall in various rooms in the house. The plumbing pipes are begin to show stress from being compressed by the floor rising. The ductwork and pipes from the furnace and the water heater are bending more as the floor rises. The stair way continues to separate from the wall, the boards are being pulled apart and the stair frame is splitting and cracking. The stair frame is also rising above the steps. This can be visually seen. The blue insulation strips that are placed in between the basement top and the framework continues to be ‘spit’ ‘squeezed’ from between the two. The bolts that hold the sump pump pipes to the wall are being pulled from the concrete and the concrete is also cracking off in small hunks. The hairline cracks have gotten larger and one of them leaks when ever it rains. The one gas pipe that leads to the furnace was replaced with a flexible pipe because of an impending safety issue.

When I first moved into this house, the floors did not squeak or sway. They shouldn’t because a silent floor type material was used for the joists. Now (posting this October 26th 2006 ), when I walk across the room, things I have on my table jiggle or move. The mirror above my dresser in the master bedroom sways back and forth. The floor makes noises. Of course the reason for this is the floor is heaving in places, and the more it heaves upward, the more uneven it becomes. In addition there is no support for these joists. They are just ‘out there’ within nothing to rest on. Of course they can’t rest on anything because they have been pushed up.
The Pulte lawyer has stated they (Pulte) don’t believe my engineer’s report. Pulte believes there is nothing wrong with the house that a few years of settling won’t fix.

In the meantime, the damage gets worse on a daily basis. What is worse is that in my heart I know that Pulte knew there was a soil problem before this house was built. I live on a corner and there is only one other lot on this corner. Pulte chose not to build it after pouring the basement and the flatwork. They told me that it was because the lot had not sold, but since out of approximately ten houses being built mine and the one across the street were the only houses that were not speculative (spec), that doesn’t pass the logic test. In addition the floor in the basement next to me is cracking and heaving AND there is no weight on the basement. I also noticed that Pulte has added extra pipes for drainage and run an extention cord to run the sump pump. This is not normal procedure for a house that is in the basement stage.

Because I have talked about the lot next to me that was halted after the basement/flatwork stage, I have decided to show some pictures. Click enter to take a peek! I have added some new pictures. We have had some horrific rains and the basement now looks like a pool!

A day or two after I posted the pictures of the basement, Pulte people were there fixing the sump pump and pumping out the water. I have just discovered ( June 23, 2007 ) the lot has been sold. Before the sold sign went on the placard (see pictures), Pulte had taken out the basement floor, they pushed dirt against the areas that have sunken to hide the “holes” and spruced it up. It is unfortunate the people who purchased this lot bought a house that has foundation problems even before the first board is nailed with a hammer.

The sale price of this house was $313,100. Incentives (another story) brought the sale price to $294,130.00. This was the appraised value of the house when I moved in June 16, 2006. The appraised value of the house on 1 January 2007 is $174,900 . This is a devaluation of the house of $119,230 in just SIX MONTHS!!!
Could I sell the house for $174,900? No. However, I was offered $40,000 for it a short time ago.

A Cure for Shoddy Work

Additional information can be found in the CNNMoney article The Cure for Shoddy Work. The dark side of the housing boom: too much subpar construction and renovation. But you don’t have to simply sit and take it.….

But that was written back in March. Nothing has happened since then according to Susan.

Reply to Susan

Susan, other than publishing your story, and wishing you the best of luck, there is little that I can do for you other than to suggest getting the best real estate attorney that you can afford.

General Thoughts

  • For anyone that has purchased but not yet closed on a Pulte home, a Lennar home, a Meritage home, a KB Homes home, a Dominion home, Beazer, etc, etc, etc, and even a privately built custom home ….. consider hiring a home inspector before you close. Know what you are getting.
  • Consider renting until this all blows over.
  • If you have a down payment especially on a Florida condo (or any other property that will immediately put you hugely underwater), hire a good attorney and see if you have a legal reason to break the deal. If you can’t break the deal legally, then consider walking away after consulting a legal professional about possible consequences.
  • If you bought a home but since realize you cannot afford it and have not yet closed, consider walking away from the deal after consulting a legal professional about possible consequences.
  • Be very leery of those who claim to find a renter for for your home, will save your home, will do a lease buyback or any other thing that seems too good to be true.
  • If it seems too good to be true, rest assured it is, no matter how hard anyone tries to convince you otherwise.

Market tops and fraud go hand in hand. We saw it with the dotcom bust, we saw it with housing and subprime lending, and we are seeing it happen yet again as I type. I am speaking of course about “buyout bingo” aka leveraged buyouts and other debt funded nonsense that is now starting to implode affecting a wide spectrum of financial equities and the market in general.

Nothing in this post to anyone or even in general should be taken as financial advice or advice of any kind. If you are having difficulty with housing or personal finances please consult your financial advisor and/or attorney for personal advice specific to your situation.

US Gov't Bonds Yield More Than Developed Countries For 1st Time in Two Decades

US Treasury yields are rip-roaring vs other developed countries. The bet is on inflation.

Which is it: Faster growth or higher inflation?

Analysts said the rise in yields in part reflects optimism about the U.S. economy and expectations for a pickup in inflation, which threatens the value of government bonds by eroding the purchasing power of their fixed payments. A market-based measure of expectations for annual inflation over the next 10 years, known as the break-even rate, recently reached its highest levels since 2014.

“The U.S. has the highest rates of everyone in the G-10 and it looks like the rate differential will continue to widen,” said Chris Gaffney, president of EverBank World Markets. “The U.S. seems to be going it alone in this rising interest-rate path.”

At the same time, economic data throughout much of the world has failed to meet expectations, eroding support for bets that the euro, yen and other currencies would rise versus the dollar. While investors speculate about the Fed increasing its pace of monetary tightening, they have also reduced their expectations for tighter monetary policies in Australia, Canada, the U.K., Japan, the euro-zone and other economies.

Higher Treasury yields are pushing investors back to the dollar, after they crowded into bets that the euro would rise versus the U.S. currency. As economic data has weakened in Europe, pushing yields down even as monetary policy remains accommodative, signs of employment and inflation growth U.S. have persisted, lifting Treasury yields higher. That shift has squeezed some investors, leading many to exit the trade.

Investors say they are also looking at the yield differential because the gap has made it increasingly expensive for money managers in Europe and Asia to buy U.S. government and corporate bonds. Those investors are increasingly looking instead to buy debt in Europe, where hedging costs are not a problem. This dynamic could make borrowing more expensive for U.S. consumers and businesses, and act as a check on growth.

2007 Decoupling Theory in Reverse

This reminds me of the widespread decoupling theory of 2007, except in reverse.

The idea then was the US was headed for the gutter and the rest of the world was about to lift off, led by China.

Today, analysts have latched on to the equally preposterous idea that the US can avoid a slowdown in China, Europe, and the the rest of the world.

Get a Grip on Reality!

Mike "Mish" Shedlock

No. 1-17

"Gentlemen prefer stocks". The idea that funds must go "somewhere" when they leave a certain locale in the financial markets is a common mis-conception and one that leads people to arrive at conclusions like yours -- the financial media makes this mistake all the time. The reality is that most of the 'funds looking for a home' that you refer to are not real savings -- they have been borrowed into existence -- which means, in a crisis, they actually start to disappear (from whence they came). It's commonly known as deleveraging. As a VERY rough idea, money substitutes represent around 80% of the overall money supply, the point being that scope for deleveraging is pretty substantial. Between you and me that is not positive for ANY risk assets, except perhaps gold which typically outperforms as the gold market anticipates central bank money pumping to 'fill' the deleveraging gap.

I know there's already a pile on El_Tedo, but it's a simple concept that between our many trillions of public debt and massive household debt, normalizing interest rates (say 5-6%) would make servicing all that debt unbearable.

We have intentionally created a series of enormous bubbles with easy money and at some point we must pay the piper. How this situation translates into "the economy is improving" is anyone's guess.

It looks to me like this is a credit fueled expansion cycle similar to and bigger than the prior recent cycles. Anyone can give credit away such that borrowers will bid up asset prices with other people’s money in the short term. The problem is the policy is not stable. The Fed’s latest theory appears to be, if they tighten s-l-o-w-l-y enough, then the economy will have time to adjust to increasing credit costs without excess leverage and mal-investment causing an uncontrolled credit collapse. Looking at a charted history of Fed tightening cycles, they are running this one up roughly half as fast.

Maybe it will work, but I doubt it. The reason I doubt it is, for the Fed to be successful, underlying cash flows must increase on a percentage basis at least as quickly as the Fed tightens. From December 2015 to March 2018, the Fed increased the Federal Funds Rate from 0.25% to 1.75% and prime rate increased from 3.25% to 4.75% (prime rate increased 46%). Did cash flows on financed projects improve 50% during the last 30 months? Will cash flows have improved to 160% of 2016 levels after the Fed hikes two more times this year? I expect not. Then there is the issue of people doing cash-out refi’s to support their lifestyle as housing prices enter a credit fueled bubble. That credit was consumed. It is gone.

Want a padded prediction about when the wheels come off? The Fed’s last hike in the prior cycle was June, 2006. Houses stopped selling that summer (I remember because I sold my house one month before everything stopped). I expect something similar this time. Certain segments of the economy will be looking spongy when the Fed stops hiking. Problems will be apparent to everyone 24-30 months after that. Until then, it is a game of musical chairs.

It's all relative. The rest of the world is worse off, so where else does the $80 trillion in global investment park for safety, especially when the govt bond bubble is close to popping? This size does not park in gold or under a mattress. As the public to private transition picks up speed with the collapse of socialism, the new saying will be "gentlemen prefer stocks".

What goes better with a two color palette than sugar-spun? Hehehe. I also had a neon orange Mundo de Unas stamping polish that was supposed to work well over black! I am a little bummed the two oranges did not match up. I was also surprised how sheer the stamping polish came out. It worked well over other colors, I guess I should give it a break since it is difficult to show up over black.

I hope you like my manicure!

Trump Did BETTER Than Romney Among Hispanics, And Blacks

Despite widespread predictions that a wave of Hispanics would defeat him, exit poll data indicates that president-elect Donald Trump did better with Hispanics than Mitt Romney did in 2012.

According to exit poll data collected by CNN, Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton defeated Trump among Hispanics at 65 percent to 29 percent. While that’s a big margin, it’s smaller than the one Barack Obama won by in 2012. He defeated Mitt Romney among Hispanics 71 percent to 27 percent.
