Mary Robinette Kowal posted an interesting article: "This post! I'm promoting it, even though I've been told it's tacky to self-promote." She makes a very good argument that if you don't tell people what you've done this year, they won't just know.

Even though I doubt I'm in the running for anything this award season*, she's right. I should put up a summary. And thanks to her excellent post, if it's tacky, I get to be tacky along with a very classy woman.

So! Here's my 2014:

Drift, from Tu Books. Kirkus Review said: "Original worldbuilding and cosmology spice up a save-the-world romantic adventure....Readers will find watching Hutchins’ unusual magical rules bring about startling consequences for family and political structure utterly fascinating."

January continues to perform above usual as 2.8 million admissions were recorded over this past weekend. It was significantly up from last year's 2.2, despite the fact that that was the Lunar New Year's holiday frame. The market share was down a little to 42% but then again only three local releases charted.

Man on the Edge built on its stellar debut with a slight increase for 876,555. The popular gangster comedy is already over the 2.5 million mark and will soon be knocking on the doors of the 3, 4 and quite possibly the 5 million milestones.

Tom Cruise vehicle Jack Reacher had a solid opening with 389,003, no doubt aided by the star's recent appearance in the country to promote his new film. What is less certain are the film's prospects going forward.

Animation Hotel Transylvania opened well with 335,707 but will likely take a fall next week as it goes up against some stiff local competition.

Tsunami drama The Impossible also opened well with 277,529 but will probably recede quickly in the coming weeks. Blockbuster musical Les Miserables had another small drop as it took in 271,876, adding to its ever-growing total which is well over 5 million milestone and may still make it to 6.

Meanwhile disaster pic The Tower finally took a hit as it saw half its audience eaten by the busy new frame. Nevertheless it still added 259,016 to its impressive total which is quickly approaching the 5 million mark.

Next week will see the release of the touching family comedy Miracle in Cell No.7, which stands a strong chance of beating out its competition. The hugely popular cartoon character Pororo is also getting his big screen adaptation but I'm not convinced his popularity will translate into a giant success.

The Korean Box Office Update is a weekly feature which provides detailed analysis of film box office sales over the Friday to Sunday period in Korea.

                 Imotski nature, history, culture

Imotski links

WWII (in Croatian)

New materials

Imotski news (Croatian)

Imotski art

Check Imotski weather

Modro Jezero pages offer rich multimedia information about nature, history, and culture of Imotski and its county.

Modro jezero or Blue lake is one of the main focuses.  Its proximity to Imotski and easy access to the constantly changing water level made this karst chasm a place that has been  captured  forever in people hearths, evoking many nice memories.

The abundance of the images on www.modrojezero.org would hopefully bring back many youth adventure memories or motivate people to visit Imotski and experience the unparalleled beauty first hand.

The location of Imotski and nearby villages could be best explored from maps.  The town map is the first Imotski map on the Internet. Older maps are here.

It would be a great injustice if the Imotski nature is reduced only to Modro jezero.  Many other lakes, starting with Red lake, Biokovo mountain, Vrljika river, and Imotski valley make Imotski quite nature special place.

Even though Imotski has a spectacular nature it is just one of the many beautiful middle and south Dalmatian, including Mediteranian jewel Dubrovnik, a walled medieval town, as it could be seen from our tourist pages and a collection of additional images.

Imotski town with its many old stone buildings and houses in the old Jezero, Djirada, Pazar, and Bazana quarters resembles a typical Dalmatian town.   Placed on Podi plato with a population of 4000 inhabitants, it is a unique place that attracts visitors and especially emigrated population that surpasses the current census numbers many times.

The history of Imotski county has been very turbulent and often volatile.  While the direct written records are fairly scarce, quite a large number of monuments and artifacts have been unearthed dating back to neolithic age.
Imotski as a town probably was founded during the reign of Croatian king Trpimir during 845-864 A.C, when Imota Zupania was first mentioned.  Imotski fortress was the center of the Zupania.

Mommy Katie: Get Styling with the Revlon Nutrifusion Styling Tools

Get Styling with the Revlon Nutrifusion Styling Tools

Product Received

When it comes to styling my hair, I have learned that over the years of the abuse that my hair has gone through with the different styling products, finding products that do not dry out my hair as much is a goal. Recently I was sent a new curling iron from the new Revlon Nutrifusion styling tools line of products to review. I was sent the Revlon Nutrifusion 1" curling iron.

With the new Nutrifusion line of products from Revlon, you can choose from 3 of the curling irons or the multi-styling straightener. I like that when I use the Revlon Nutrifusion 1" curling iron, my hair can benefit from the oils that are coated on the iron itself. These oils include moringa, macadamia, and argan, which are three of nature's purest oils. The oils that are coated on the Nutrifusion products are valued for their nutritive properties. Knowing that when I use the curling iron, the oils that are on the iron are rich with antioxidants and vitamins that condition my hair as well as protect it makes me feel better when I style my hair. I also like that when I use the Nutrifusion Curling Iron from Revlon, the oils that are on this iron help reduce damage and help restore my hairs natural shine each time I use it! So if you are looking for some new styling tools, but are not so keen on the ones that can lead to more damage on your hair, check out the new line of Revlon Nutrifusion styling products at your local Wal-Mart today, and put the shine back into your style!

This was not a paid post and honest/original opinions were used and they are my own. Thank you to the company and/or pr agency who supplied the product for review.

These sound like great products to try. I worry about my hair drying out from the use of styling tools. I would like to get the Revlon Nutrifusion 1" Conditioning Triple Oil Infused 2-in-1 Hair Straightener

joanna garcia said...

Julie G. said...

I love that this protects your hair and that it is so many tools in one! I hate having a drawer full of hair styling tools. Takes up so much space!

CindyWindy2003 said...

I love how the oils are on the curling iron itself, and what a cool color!

10 Ways to Improve your Child's Spanish Vocabulary at Home

It is no secret that raising bilingual children is not easy. Although here at Mommy Maestra, some of us are first, second (or more!) generation American, we happen to have bilingual kids! Lately, as my 21 month-old is starting to speak and as my seven year-old is using scientific words in English that I have no idea how to translate, my frantic Google search is often a reminder to seguir adelante with my efforts to continue to teach Spanish to my three boys. Their English is fantastic and I want them to feel just as confident when speaking Spanish.
Here are 10 tips I want to share to help you improve your child's Spanish vocabulary without you having to leave your home:
1) Speak:  Habla, habla, habla. Even if your family spends the majority of the day speaking English, be conscious of it and switch over to Spanish whenever you can or when it feels right. For me, getting my boys' attention, transitioning from one activity to another, or when snuggling with them, calls for el español!
2) Read: Of all the books we own, about 40 percent of them are in Spanish. The boys love for me to read to them and when they reach for a book, they don't see or hear language. They pick a book because they love it and the more they hear the ones in Spanish, the better for their vocabulary. Check out Latina for Latino Lit for great titles!
3) Call/Skype/Facetime with family: Whether you live close to family or not, try to have your children speak to family members with whom you only speak Spanish. My boys know that their Tita will not speak English to them and I don't mind if their Spanish is not perfect because they have no other way to communicate. No one laughs or corrects when they make mistakes. Family will support your child's bilingual journey.
4) Apps: I don't know how many times a day my boys ask for my mobile phone or papi's iPad. It's okay to bargain with them. Half the time I say, "only if you go on a Spanish app." It works! Click HERE for five of Mommy Maestra's picks.
5) TV: Just like the app rule, we negotiate the TV's language. My husband and I record shows the boys like that just happen to be on the Spanish-language networks. The other day, our oldest went around saying, "es muy complicado," because the phrase was introduced in Pocoyo.
6) Games: We recently reviewed eeBoo's Spanish Bingo because it has been a hit in my Spanish enrichment program at my son's school and here at home. Simple vocabulary games like Lotería, Zingo and Scrabble are great vocabulary builders too and so much fun!
7) Play dates: Invite your Spanish-speaking acquaintances and friends over for a play date. We don't live in Latino community but when we find other Spanish-speaking families, we automatically click! Having your children see and hear kids who have similar backgrounds eases them into practicing Spanish and helps them build their confidence.
8) Music: Dance party, anyone? Crank up your favorite Latino tunes for your babies. Music is a huge part of culture and when a household plays Spanish music, be ready to hear little voices singing and bodies shaking!
9) Text/Email: If you have a child who is already writing,  you will find that you may not get your kiddies to really appreciate traditional writing on paper or workbooks. Although, I have my oldest practice Spanish in that way, we try to mix things up with a little bit of fun with my smart phone or computer.
10) Talk about the world: Having your children understand that there are thousands of languages that are being spoken daily says so much about Spanish being the second most spoken language in the world! Why not give it a little extra effort? That fact alone has motivated me some more. Adelante!

How do you help improve your child's Spanish vocab? Please share!

Betty Galvan, is writing "for smart and stylish moms" over
at My Friend Betty Says... She is a teacher and mother to three fun little boys.

  1. I need to have some playdates!
    Lately we have a little game, I say something in English and my girls have to say it in Spanish, it is fun, they like it. Thanks for the tips.

    1. Yes do it! I find myself speaking Spanish to the boys way after their friends leave. It's contagious! I like the idea of your game. Right now, it's the opposite for us They say, "how do you say x in Spanish" and they go on and on... jajajaj! Thank you for commenting!

Hilton Head Island Again?

Hilton Head House
Hilton Head House

This year my entire family decided to take a trip down to Hilton Head Island again.  Hopefully, we’ll most likely stay at the same Hilton Head house as we have in previous years.

We like the familiar Hilton Head house because we are comfortable and like where it’s located.  We usually stay at the Palmetto Dunes area, the houses we’ve stayed at has always been one in this particular area.

Personally, I like the Palmetto Dunes area because the beach in that area isn’t very crowded and easy to access.  I’ve biked to the public beach access areas, and while they are nice too, I prefer the less crowded Palmetto Dune beaches.

We always get bikes for everybody in our group.  We even get a Tag-along bike so my daughter could ride too.

Most likely, we’ll also go to Sea Pines resort.  It cost $5.00 per car to get in, but this is where the Salty Dog restaurant and other small shops and restaurants are located.  I especially like the Harbour Town Lighthouse because unlike other lighthouses, this ones has old pictures with small comments below them explaining the history of the lighthouse as you climb the stairs to get to the top.

Harbour Town Lighthouse
Harbour Town Lighthouse

This area also has one of the coolest trees that I’ve ever seen in a certain park in the area.  The tree is growing horizontally instead of vertically, very cool and strange at the same time.  The kids love that tree!

I think we like the house so much because it’s almost seems like it’s our vacation home.  Of course we are just renting it, but you could almost imagine that you owned it after a week of living in it.  Very cool feeling!

I really look forward to eating seafood while I’m down there, especially the fried oysters!  We don’t really have fried oysters up where I live, so I try to get my fill while I’m down there!

Initially I wanted to go to Hawaii, but the rest of my family didn’t want to do that, so it’s Hilton Head again!  Still it will be a blast!

Hilton Head Bound… In August

This will be the third year that my entire family will go down to hilton head again. Ironically, my son (while asking about Hawaii too) said that he wanted to go down to Hilton Head with the family again.  I have to admit, I’m looking forward to it myself this year too (see my post from this… Continue Reading

Eve assessed their fire power and shook her head in despair; she knew nothing short of miracle would save them from those after their lives. The SUV was gaining speed on them. A crazy idea occurred to her. She had no time to think it through. She yelled at Damita, “Turn off your lane and apply the brake!” Damita looked at Eve unbelievably, wondering if she had gone nuts. “Damita! Don’t think it! Just do it! Everyone get ready to shoot at them on my mark! Just point your guns and shoot!” Damita looked at her rear mirror and saw the SUV closing in on them, the men in the SUV were making read to open fire on them. At that point she turned off her lane and swung their vehicle around. It was an absolute crazy stunt. Their vehicle swung like it was going to tumble. But Damita matched harder on the brake. With a screeching noise the vehicle stood still. Eve yelled, “Shoot!!!” A staccato of gun shots filled the air as Alejandro, Damita, Eve and Hernandez rained bullets on the SUV which was speeding past their car. The side glass of the SUV exploded like a grenade was detonated in it. They could see human flesh torn off and blown apart in the SUV as the bullets from their guns flew into the SUV.

The SUV skidded off the road as the driver’s head was blown wide open. Damita aimed her gun at the tires of the vehicle and put holes in them. Eve knew that if they did not finish off those agents they would revive and come after them. She jumped off their vehicle with her KSG and went after the SUV as it bumped up and down off the tarred road. The sight of Eve shooting at the SUV all by herself encouraged Alejandro and his brother and they joined her. Damita turned their vehicle and waited for them to get back. Already the sight of the gun battle terrified other road users and left them calling 911. It would be only a matter of time before the police would arrive at the scene. Damita knew their plate number would be used to track them, so he got off the vehicle, shot at the number plates and yanked them off. Meanwhile Eve, Alejandro and Hernandez continued to shoot at the SUV, giving those inside no chance to even shoot a bullet at them. Vehicles were pulling up by the road side and many people were making videos of what was happening. Damita did not like that; she knew their faces would be in the news before long. She shot at the ground near Eve and the others and shouted, “People are filming us! Let’s get out of here!”

Just in that moment, the SUV exploded in flames. Hernandez, Eve and Alejandro ran back into their van and Damita sped off; driving against traffic for a while. Basilia and Clarisa were so terrified that even after they had driven for long they still remained on the floor of their vehicle. Eve noticed that Damita was shedding a few tears. She asked, “What is it Damita?” “We were caught on camera. It is only a matter of time before they find out who we are related to. In a few hours The Elite will go after my mother-in-law. She is very old and lives in Arkansas. They will try to use her to get to me! I don’t want her to die a painful death.” There was silence in the vehicle. No one could say a word. None of them had seen Damita emotional. She was tough and spoke very little about herself or anything. The trauma of her family being wiped out by The Elite had damaged her almost irreparably. From the floor where she squatted, Basilia raised her head and said, “No. They will not hurt an old woman. Will they?” Her voice was filled with fear and her eyes were full of same. Hernandez looked down and saw the way Clarisa was hugging the seat were squatted as if it would provide her succor, and pulled her up. Her eyes were filled with tears. She asked her brother, “Is it over?” Her hands, feet and lips all shook. Hernandez hugged her firmly and assured, “It is over. At least we survived that.”

Then when it seemed everyone had forgotten Damita and her own problem, Eve said, “Damita, we can get help for your mother-in-law from here. I can reach the guy who told us Kate is alive and see what they can do for your mother-in-law.” Damita’s tear-filled eyes lit up, and a glim of hope rose in her. Having saved the number of the phone from which Martin Douglas sent them a text message, she dialed it. Shepherd was the one who picked, “Hello! Who is this?” Shepherd asked. “This is Eve Edward. I am with Alenjadro Ignacio. Please can I speak with the guy who sent us text message earlier?” “Who is the guy who sent you text message earlier? Doesn’t he have a name?” Shepherd asked rather harshly. Alejandro quipped, “His name is Martin Douglas, Eve.” “His name is Martin Douglas…pardon me. We are having a hard time over here.” “Hold on.” Shepherd passed the phone to Martin and said “This is for you Martin.” Martin took the phone and asked, “Hello! This is Martin Douglas, how can I help you?” “Martin, this is Eve Edward, cousin to Kate Edward. I am here with Alejandro Ignacio…” “Do you want to talk to your cousin Kate?”  “I would like to, but right after I am done with you.” When Kate heard her name she poised her head like a serpent about to strike a prey. Eve continued, “We need your help. The Elite came after us at the outskirts of Hawaii, we pumped them with bullets and escaped. But some people caught our faces on camera. One of us here has a relative in Arkansas, an old lady. Once they see her face in the videos passers-by made, The Elite will go after the old woman. Can you help us secure the old woman please?” “We are on our way to Arkansas by road, send us the old woman’s picture and address, we will see if we can get to her first.”

Eve leapt up with joy and shouted, “Yes!! Damita! They will help get your mother-in-law!” On the other end of the phone a smile crossed Martins’ face, he was glad he could help save a soul from The Elite. He of course knew what it was like to lose one’s relatives to the monster group. “Eve can I pass the phone now to Kate?” “Hold on…” When Kate heard the name ‘Eve’, she grabbed the phone from Martin and yelled into the mouthpiece, “Eve! Eve Edward!! This is Kate Edward! I am still alive!” Eve had thought she could be able to speak when she heard her sister’s voice; but she could not. Tears circled her eyes and she began to cry. “Kate I am glad you are alive. Since I found out what my father did, I have been looking for you. I and my mother have been looking for you…” Eve began to sob harder. Kate fought back tears. She had seen far worse things than her cousin Eve. She wanted to hear more from Eve but she had broken down in tears. Alejandro took the phone from Eve. “Kate, this is Alejandro. You are alive!” “Ale! You are there!” “Didn’t Martin tell you I have been looking for you? That was how I found your cousin Eve. She saved my family. The Elite came after us.” With a cold, steel voice, Kate said, “Ale I am coming down to Hawaii. You helped me find the truth. I won’t let them hurt you. And I want to see my cousin. I will kill them all. All of The Elite. I know them, they trained me. I am coming to get you all to Arkansas.” “No Kate. Stay back there we are coming to Arkansas.”

“No Alejandro. You won’t make it out of there. I heard something about people making videos of you and the others. They will hunt you like animals. I know them. I will make a stop shortly and head for Hawaii.” They heard Shepherd shout, “Drop the call! You are talking for too long. You are going to draw The Elite to that phone line and if they crack the line, they will know what we are up to.” Alejandro dropped the call immediately. He knew how they were found the last time and did not want to take another chance with phones. They needed somewhere to crash for the night and strategize for the next day. Eve searched through her phone for old cheap hotels. With their faces possibly in the media it would be harder to hide from The Elite. They needed some place with less crowd and security presence. Kate was frustrated and could not find a place. “I know just where we can hide for the night,” Hernandez announced to their excitement.

App will showcase day of celebration

Brought to you by the Morpeth Herald.
Brought to you by the Morpeth Herald.

Organisers of the inaugural Northumberland Day have teamed up with a new app to enable a very special record of the event to be created.

Weddr is a wedding app, which allows brides and grooms to view their wedding through their guests’ eyes in the form of video clips that are not only shared in real-time, but then professionally edited into a once-in-a-lifetime video of memories.

In terms of the celebration of the county on May 28, it will allow all involved in events at to create special memories of their activities and gain recognition in the end-of-event show-reel.

When Catapult PR, organiser of Northumberland Day, was appointed to handle PR for Weddr, it quickly popped the question and asked if its event organisers could use the app to create the ultimate video for the celebration.

The company offered the app as its form of sponsorship and it has also provided a free shoot as a prize for Northumberland Day’s Facebook followers.

Plea for short-stay parking bays

CALLS have been made for new short-stay parking bays on Morpeth’s streets – and council officials have not ruled it out.

The idea was put forward at a meeting of Morpeth and District Chamber of Trade on Monday when Northumberland County Council officers were invited to discuss a range of parking issues.

Photographer Ken Stait suggested that parts of the town could be used for half-hour bays.

He said: “There is a great opportunity with the new enforcement officers. Previously we had a lot of fly-parking, however now we have got proper enforcement there are massive areas of the town where there is a real opportunity to put 20-minute, short-term bays on the street where previously we couldn’t enforce them and were left with double yellow lines.

“We have a situation where taxis swap from one position to another during the day and there is a daft area where there are double yellow lines and nobody can park.

“I think we could have 20 to 25 half-hour bays and it would really help the businesses which survive on drop in, pick it up and leave custom.

“It gives us an opportunity with the enforcement officers to look creatively at where we can put some short-stay bays.”

County councillor Andrew Tebbutt urged traders to make a list of potential areas where changes to existing orders could be made to allow for short-stay parking.

“I have got to agree with you on the Traffic Regulation Orders in Morpeth,” he said.

“The short-stay, half-hour parking scheme is one that I have long wanted and it makes sense that we should look at it.

“I also want to look at residents’ parking schemes as that can protect a lot of people.”

Parking Services Manager Lynne Ryan said the council will consider such suggestions and is doing so across the county.

She said: “One of the things that is done is to look at the Traffic Regulation Orders in terms of how they are working. We have got a lot of issues with single yellow lines and residents saying they can no longer park somewhere and short-stay bays are another classic example.

“Any issues like that, or any proposals you want to put forward, if they come through the local councillor they can collect a whole package to review the Traffic Regulation Orders in the town.

“There is a long list growing already in terms of reviewing the Traffic Regulation Orders, but we are actively working through this.”

She added: “We want this to work for the businesses. There has been a lot of positive comments from businesses about loading bays and how they can get access and I think short-stay parking of that nature would be a great benefit.”

A request was made to allow short-stay parking in New Market to enable people to use the chip shop, but Ms Ryan said it is unlikely there due to road safety concerns. However, a nearby loading bay may be able to be converted to a space.

No matter how the results of Fannie Mae's National Housing Survey for May are interpreted, it is hard to see them as good short terms news for the housing market.  The company says that Americans' concerns about the direction of the economy and their household income appear to be weighing on housing growth.  It is also possible that the results mean that potential homebuyers see several reasons to return to the wait and see attitude that helped flatten the market in 2011 and 2012.

According to Fannie Mae, the share of respondents who still believe the economy is headed in the wrong direction remained at 57 percent last month while the right track numbers rose from 35 percent to 38 percent.

"Consumers' lukewarm income expectations and reticence about the economy seem to be holding back housing demand," said Doug Duncan, senior vice president and chief economist at Fannie Mae. "This year's spring and summer home buying season has gotten off to a slow start, even as mortgage rates have trended lower over the past two months. Our National Housing Survey data show that economic conditions continue to be the top concern among consumers who think it's a bad time to buy or sell a home. While recent housing activity suggests that the worst of the housing slump may be behind us, this caution among consumers supports our expectation that the rebound in home sales will likely be too modest to pull sales for all of 2014 ahead of last year."

Or maybe potential homebuyers are putting plans on hold because they think there might be more opportunities ahead, most notably in the area of home values.  Prices have risen rapidly since bottoming out in early 2012, and in some areas such as California this, coupled with higher rates, has dramatically reduced affordability.  In the May survey the share of respondents who say home prices will go up in the next 12 months fell to 48 percent, and the share who say home prices will go down increased to 7 percent.  Among those who expect prices to continue to increase the average increase held steady at 2.9 percent.

At the same time the percentage of those who expect further increases in mortgage interest rates fell from 52 percent to 49 percent.  The number looking for lower rates also went down from 7 to 5 percent while those who expect that rates have stabilized was unchanged at 38 percent for the third consecutive month.

Those who say it is a good time to buy a house fell slightly to 68 percent, and those who say it is a good time to sell a house increased to 43 percent, a new all-time survey high.

A slight majority of respondents expect rents to increase over the next year.  Just over 50 percent have expressed that since at least last May but the number who expect rents to decline rose this month from 43 to 39 percent.  The average 12-month rental price change expectation decreased slightly to 3.9 percent.

Forty-nine percent of respondents thought it would be easy for them to get a home mortgage today, rising 4 percentage points from last month.  The share who say they would buy if they were going to move increased slightly to 66 percent.

The percentage of respondents who expect their personal financial situation to get better over the next 12 months fell slightly to 42 percent.    The share of respondents who say their household income is significantly higher than it was 12 months ago decreased 4 percentage points to 21 percent.  At the same time there did seem to be some improvement in household finances.  The share of respondents who said their household expenses had declined significantly rose 3 points while the number who said expenses had risen fell 5 points.

The most detailed consumer attitudinal survey of its kind, the Fannie Mae National Housing Survey polled 1,000 Americans via live telephone interview to assess their attitudes toward owning and renting a home, home and rental price changes, homeownership distress, the economy, household finances, and overall consumer confidence. Homeowners and renters are asked more than 100 questions used to track attitudinal shifts from month to month dating back to the survey's origination in June 2010.

MBS Live: MBS Morning Market Summary
Today's trading is kicking off the week in a mostly typical Monday sort of way with ranges relatively contained, volume on the light side and limited data to digest.  The only thing providing a semblance of activity on the MBS Live Dashboard 2-day chart is the fact that Friday's range was similarly narrow, thus making today's 4-ticks between highs and lows seem bigger than they actually are. It's all an optical illusion though as Fannie 3.0 MBS have traded almost exclusively between 104-21 and 104-19, with only the outlying ticks pushing the range out to "4 ticks."  10yr yields have shown a bit more directional weakness, especially following the 11am conclusion of the Fed's scheduled buying in the 8yr maturity range in Treasuries ("Twist" buying).  It's common to see some minor volatility following these buying operations and also not uncommon for post-11am bond markets to be generally weaker as dealers keep prices higher ahead of the Fed.  But today's reaction is a bit spikier than normal perhaps because the broader currents of "risk-on/risk-off" are also lifting stock prices at the moment.  MBS have weathered that storm quite well so far, but Treasuries are quickly approaching a re-test of recent highs.

Morning Reprice Alerts and Updates
Below is a recap of instant Reprice Alerts and updates issued via email and text alert to MBS Live subscribers this morning.

9:59AM  :  Bond Markets Under Slight Pressure From Rising Stocks
Treasury yields and equities futures kicked off the overnight session in their highest territory, ostensibly due, in part to news of a Fiscal Cliff proposal over the weekend. While it was rejected by the White House, it did still signifiy some level of progress in the ongoing negotiations. But the real market mover during Asia's opening hours was the election in Japan, which saw the LDP party score a landslide victory in elections over the weekend. Risk markets rallied on the implication that the elections put the stimulus-friendly Shinzo Abe back in the Prime Minister seat.

As is frequently the case, the onset of the European session brought a shift in tone, this time in a positive direction for bond markets. The move wasn't huge, but was good enough to get 10yr yields down from 1.734 highs to 1.714 lows.

10's made it to the domestic session near those lows and MBS opened roughly a tick weaker than Friday's latest levels. Since then, the morning trade has been choppy and without much regard for economic data. If anything, Empire State Manufacturing took a bit of a bite out of equities futures and helped bond markets hold their ground. But the cash open saw equities move higher, which pressured bond markets back to their weakest levels of the overnight session.

If the current highs and lows marked the absolute boundaries of the session, it would be an incredibly sideways and boring day. There's no remaining economic data, though there are two Fed speakers as well as "Twist" buying from 10:15-11:00am in the 8year range.

MBS, specifically, are holding up a bit better than Treasuries at the moment, but even the latter may be attempting to establish some technical support in the mid 1.72's despite advancing stocks. Fannie 3.0's are nearer their highs of the morning, down only 2 ticks at 104-21, but trading has been sparse so far.
9:21AM  :  ECON: Tic Data Shows Foreign Investment In Treasuries Increased in October
- Outflow in Oct, $56.7 bln vs $4.3 bln Inflow in Sep
- $1.3 bln Inflow in Longer Maturities, Excluding Swaps
- Net purchases of Bonds/Notes $15.8 bln
- China/Japan Holdings moderately increased
- This data series isn't a major market mover for bond markets, speaking more to long term trends in buying/selling of US Treasuries among foreign investors

-The sum total in October of all net foreign acquisitions of long-term securities, short-term U.S. securities, and banking flows was a monthly net TIC outflow of $56.7 billion. Of this, net foreign private outflows were $56.4 billion, and net foreign official outflows were $0.3 billion.

Foreign residents increased their holdings of long-term U.S. securities in October – net purchases were $28.4 billion. Net purchases by private foreign investors were $22.3 billion, and net purchases by foreign official institutions were $6.2 billion.

At the same time, U.S. residents increased their holdings of long-term foreign securities, with net purchases of $27.1 billion.

Taking into account transactions in both foreign and U.S. securities, the net foreign purchases of long-term securities were $1.3 billion. After including adjustments, such as estimates of unrecorded principal payments to foreigners on U.S. asset-backed securities, the overall net foreign acquisition of long-term securities is estimated to have been negative $20.6 billion in October.
8:36AM  :  ECON: Empire State Manufacturing Weaker Than Expected
- Manufacturing Index -8.1 vs -1.0 Consensus, -5.22 Previous
- New Orders -3.7 vs +3.08 Previous

The December Empire State Manufacturing Survey indicates that conditions for New York manufacturers continued to decline at a modest pace. The general business conditions index was negative for a fifth consecutive month, falling three points to -8.1. The new orders index dropped to -3.7, while the shipments index declined six points to 8.8. At 16.1, the prices paid index indicated that input prices continued to rise at a moderate pace, while the prices received index fell five points to 1.1, suggesting that selling prices were flat. Employment indexes pointed to weaker labor market conditions, with the indexes for both number of employees and the average workweek registering values below zero for a second consecutive month. Indexes for the six-month outlook were generally higher than last month, although the level of optimism remained at a level well below that seen earlier this year.

The amount of geopolitical turmoil in the world today is not materially better than yesterday, but without new surprises to fuel safe-haven demand, bond markets found no reason to extend the rally.  That said, if the rally was somehow overdone or made stronger by something like 'snowball buying,' we would know it today.  The fact that there wasn't a more pronounced pull-back is a testament to the gravity of the situation and the real presence of safe-haven demand yesterday.

MBS started the day about 3/32nds weaker and are now heading out in roughly the same territory.  The weakness was more severe heading into the noon hour, but 10 yields had a firm bounce at 2.50%, which marked the end of selling momentum in bond markets for today.

Weekends can always bring significant developments when it comes to geopolitical market movers.  More often than not, if US bond markets have rallied on geopolitical risk heading into the weekend, they move in the opposite direction the following week.  As far as how that plays out this time, volatility is potentially higher than normal considering a relative lack of calendar events in the week ahead.  That may leave markets even more sensitive to headlines as there's not much else going on.

The week after that is the polar opposite, with the first look at Q2 GDP, an FOMC Announcement, and NFP on Friday.  It may well set the tone for the next major move.

St Gervais Destination Guide

Home of Mont Blanc!

St Gervais TransferIt might surpise you when you we say Mont Blanc isn't actually in Chamonix! Strictly speaking, the peak of western Europe's highest mountain is in Saint Gervais. What's more, the summit is moving. Mont Blanc was always thought to be 4807m, until geometricians measured it properly and it was actually 4810m (this is great stuff for dinner parties and pub quizzes isn't it?!). And St Gervais has a fight on its hands to keep the summit, as apparently it had moved 26m towards Italy when it was re-measured in 2009!

Geneva to St Gervais

And of course, this all means that the vast majority of alpinists who attempt Mont Blanc setting off from the Nid d'Aigle high above Les Houches are technically doing so from Saint Gervais. This route is called the 'Voie Royale' or the classic route and involves a long, hard slog via the Tete Rousse and Gouter refuges to attain that famous summit - and hundreds attempt it every summer.

St Gervais TransferIf all that sounds far too strenuous, there is plenty to keep all the family occupied in both winter and summer in St Gervais. If you're there for skiing you will love the range of pistes on offer. The main uplift is the Saint Gervais - Bettex bubble lift, where there is a massive free car park and regular navettes through town to take you there. You can also access the slopes from the St Nicolas de Veroce area and halfway up the slopes at Bettex itself.

Geneva airport to St GervaisOnce you're up there you're linked directly to the pistes of Megeve too, so there's plenty to explore. Freestylers will love the WOSP park at Mont Joux complete with air bag and there are plenty of viewpoints to take in the breathtaking vistas of the Mont Blanc too, along with a good choice of mountain restaurants, from rustic to self-service. There's even La Folie Douce (once again, Megeve might claim it, but this famous apres-ski bar and restaurant actually sits in St Gervais, at Mont Joux!) so you can party on the pistes too.

St Gervais Geneva* Take a ride on the Tramway Mont Blanc - all aboard for a voyage to the peaks on France's highest rack and pinion railway. Setting off from next to the main train station in Le Fayet and going via St Gervais and various hidden mountain hamlets on the way, you arrive at Col de la Voza in the middle of the Les Houches ski area. In summer the train carries on to Nid d'Aigle at 2372m (the staring point for the Mont Blanc ascension), whilst in winter the terminus is Bellevue at 1800m

In summer it's all about the great outdoors and mountain sports. If you're a road biker there are some fabulous routes that traverse St Gervais and mountain bikers are well looked after too, with a good selection of trails with easy access via lifts. Those lifts also carry hikers and walkers up and down the mountains, where you can visit farms and buy the tastiest cheeses and other freshly made goodies direct from the producers.

Geneva to Saint Gervais TransfersThe commune has invested a lot of money in the sports centre, which now boasts top class tennis courts and a swimming centre, meaning you can play a few sets of tennis and then plunge into the pools afterwards. As well as the 17x10m outdoor pool, there's a 25m long indoor pool and a 43m2 leisure pool (with a kiddie area too) and a sauna and hamman.

The town centre is a true delight. Since the fancy new bridge that means through traffic by-passes the centre opened, it is a great place to sit outside an have a coffee, take a meander around the weekly market (held on Thursdays all year round) and generally just take in everyday life in bustling little Saint Gervais.

Geneva to St Gervais TransferThere are just enough bars and restaurants to satiate your appetite, without it becoming a rowdy apres-ski resort. With many grand hotels having been built at the turn of the 18th century, lots have been turned into rather lovely restaurants and bars.

And remember, all this and a whole lot more is just an hour away on your transfer bus from Geneva to St Gervais! What's not to love about beautiful Saint Gervais?

The Romans launch their online shop Dec 2016

Bath City FC have launched their new online shop in time for Christmas 2016.

This co-insides with the introduction of their new half season tickets. The Romans currently sit in 12th place in the Conference South and are on the brink of confirming their community ownership take over after the success of the Big Bath City Bid.

All sections of the Roman’s fan base can purchase half season tickets with 11 home league games still to play. Looking at adult prices of £13 a game that would equate to £143 but the half season ticket is just £110; saving £33. There are also further reductions for members of the armed forces, over 65s, students and under 16s.

Under 16s half season is a snip at just £10 for 11 games, which will hopefully encourage the next wave of City fans.

There is also a special matchday ticket for fans to talk to Gary Owers before and after the game. This would be the perfect gift for any group of fans to give them a real insight into how their club’s manager approaches the game.

Festive Fives are also available for fans that can’t commit to going to every league game. These tickets can also be used for groups of fans too; ideal for the boxing day visit of Hungerford to bring the whole family together.

More items and gifts will be added to the site over time when the club appoints a new full time general manager in the new year upon completion of the community take over.

Be sure to check out the online shop here

To Kim from Keystrokes

Posted By: MQ2 on 2005-08-24
In Reply to: REPLY TO Hi LEE. from KS - KD

Hi Kim,

I understand your frustration with all the negative heckling that goes on on this board and your need to want to clarify who you are with your real name.  BUT, I seriously would not post your telephone number, just to justify who you are to a bunch of strangers calling you Lee.  It is way to easy for anyone to locate somebody with a phone number these days, 411.com, google, etc.  You just do not know who surfs ANY site on the net these days and that is a safety risk.

Case in point, my dear niece is trying to adopt and posted her number & area on an adoption board of all places, for anyone to call with info on a certain agency....it took the police who caught the creep who had stalked her, first by phone, then in person, to figure out where he got the info.  He told them that he just wanted to "help these poor women to be able to conceive the baby they wanted" take that any way you want but believe me, from the calls she got, it was purely sick.

Just an FYI about safety on the internet. Not worth your own to justify to a bunch of hecklers.

Did Keystrokes sell to Transcend? I thought Keystrokes was buying up companies sm
but I heard from another service owner that they sold out to Transcend. Anyone know if that happened?
keystrokes ad..can someone tell keystrokes their banner ad needs a hyphen...quality-minded
Did Keystrokes sell to Transcend? I thought Keystrokes was buying sm

small companies but another service owner told me that she heard that Keystrokes sold to Transcend.  Is this true?

I posted this down below but meant to post it as a new thread.  Before I apply with them, I would like to know as I left Transcend a few months ago and do NOT want to get back into that mess.

Not only that, but I would MUCH rather work for Keystrokes than Spheris as Keystrokes doesn't

Only Keystrokes. Worked at MQ until I came to Keystrokes. Started at sm
Keystrokes PT, liked what I saw and experienced, gave notice to MQ and went FT. Have not look back since. I had previously worked at 2 hospitals, for MDI, Transcend and MRC until bought by MQ. I plan on retiring here as long as they stay as they are.
No, Not with Keystrokes, visiting friend and using her pc, she got job with Keystrokes
I forgot to change the Name. I do not think Keystrokes is hiring anymore now. Would like some info about Diskriter though.
Ditto, Keystrokes is a wonderful company with wonderful people! I love working for Keystrokes!
I am just not making enough money.  They are a great company though, just ask for a back up account.
Been with Keystrokes staying with Keystrokes

I was there for the promises and guess what Keystrokes is making good on those promises.

I get vacation time, 401K, and even AFLAC.  My pay is great, always on time as well as accurate.

I have my main account and have been given back up accounts for which I have been fully trained and am comfortable typing on.  I have great leads, great tech support and plenty of work.

Am I biased???  Yes I am biased.  I am grateful everyday that I was given the opportunity to work for Keystrokes and their team.  I am grateful that my company's owner is a fellow Transcriptionist that goes home at the end of the day and works like the rest of us so she knows what a hard job I have and I know that she is working to make things better for me because unlike other companies I have worked for she understands what it is I do.

Please accept my apologies that you were unhappy with Keystrokes and chose to move on before all of the promises came to fruition but don't begrudge those of us that stayed loyal and are now reaping the benefits of a GREAT COMPANY WITH GREAT BENEFITS, LOTS OF WORK AND THE KNOWLEDGE THAT THERE ARE MANY MORE GREAT THINGS TO COME!

I just want to say Thank you Lee, Jeff, Becky, Karyn, Martha, Annette, Paul and everybody else in the office for all that you do.

Keystrokes does not go by keystrokes, we go by lines. sm
1200 lines per day comes out to 150 lines per hour. Most transcriptionists are able to do 200-250 lines per hour, so this is not unrealistic, nor is it unreasonable. The hospital that I used to work at prior to coming to Keystrokes had a minimum of 185 lines per hour. The service I worked for prior to Keystrokes had a minimum of 200 lines per hour.

I was hired by Keystrokes for clinic work back at the first of June, worked 1 week, and then the account was lost--no real explanation for the reason.  I've been trying unsuccessfully to find out when or if I'll be put on another account since then (over a month now).  Has anyone else had this experience?

I went with Keystrokes because of the mostly positive comments from this board and others.  I don't want to badmouth anyone, but these actions seem to uncharacteristic of them, and the lack of communication is really taking its toll on me--why wouldn't they let me know something?!! I understand most of their accounts are radiology, and there may be problems placing me on another clinic account, but I need to know something!

Thanks for any insight--

There has been NO response to emails or calls. Left messages, but no response. Finally gave up. May or may not hear from them again....only time will tell.
How many keystrokes did
 you average in an 8-hour day?? I was told I have to do a minumum of 60,000. I've never been paid by the keystroke before. Don't know if I want to be, either...
You have too much work because the people you hire never get to start working for you...never hear back from anyone after hiring!
Keystrokes - sm
I was not hired by Becky or Karen but by Lee herself...and I have also called and emailed numerous times with no response. Apparently this is the NEW hiring procedure..and I KNOW I was hired, have copies of all my paperwork that I faxed in, and I have programs on my PC. How do you explain that one?
Keystrokes ...sm
Been there, did that...nada, zip, zero, zilch...guess I should take the hint, huh?
That is what Lee is best at....promises that never materialize. Becky is great....it's everyone else that stinks.
RE: Keystrokes
Been there, done that also. No thanks. You become nasty when you're treated that way.

Vacation. Is that the excuse they're using? Do you actually know this person who is on vacation or do you just believe what you're told? Right, teamwork. You haven't got a clue.
Keystrokes here for me!
Keystrokes for me too! nm
My advise is don't quit your job until you actually START working for them....you may not hear from them again and be out of a job....happened to me, and this is not a lie. I was hired, gave notice at my job, left, and never heard from Keystrokes again. Had to find another job. So, before you celebrate your good fortune...be verrrry, verrry careful.
Keystrokes - sm
I am not the same poster as above, and my experience with Keystrokes was getting hired, quiting my job, getting the programs put on my PC and NEVER hearing back from them again. DO NOT quit your present job if you take one with them until you are up and running and are SURE you have a job and like it. The negative posts you read were all from different people with basically the same BAD experiences with this company. History repeats itself.
It's getting hired the first time that's the trick....
will allow you to do this.  You can quit for the day after you meet your quota.
BTW, they log all your keystrokes too...
and have some castor oil too cuz you're full of crap.
Looking for any info on Keystrokes?   Thanks!!!!
Just wanted to let MTs know about a really great company - Keystrokes. I had decided not to accept a position with them and am staying with MQ, but recently received a very nice email from the president of KS, Lee. I think it is a very refreshing and neat thing when the president of a company emails an MT personally - it tells me a lot about this company. They are truly one of the good guys in the MT world - and I would highly recommend them to anyone who feels like a number or not appreciated at your current company. If things do not work out for me at MQ next year - I know where I'll be going.

Just wanted to let you guys know there really ARE decent companies out there who appreciate their employees even in this day and age - and a big thumbs up to Lee at Keystrokes for taking the time out of her very busy day to write me.

This company is really becoming a force to be reckoned with and I just wanted to give them a big pat on the back! :)
With keystrokes, you have to have
a Lanier Voicewriter or a c-phone.  Some of us don't make that kind of money to afford all that equipment and then keep DSL or cable going too.  Thanks, but no thanks.
Doesn't $1.10 per report seem on the low side?
I would say they are a growing company and could do things better, but they have come along in my years with them, but maybe down the road they will pay some of the health insurance, or internet (both of which are expensive as you know). I do mind the insurance not being paid a portion by the employer, but don't need it right now. Yes, the money is good. The team leaders are good. The only problem is that sometimes they are late getting direct deposit in, which can cause problems, but they seem to be correcting that also now. Would I take a job somewhere else if I needed more benefits, etc? YES I would, but who would not if offered a job with better benefits, more money, etc. Give it a try you might just like working for them. They could do things better, but what company cannot do things better. I have never found a perfect company have you all? Good luck with your decision. Software platform is very easy to learn, no one week of training, etc.
Keystrokes - sm
I find it very interesting that any time there is a negative post about Keystrokes, immediately the KS Management/MTs jump down the poster's throat, and are quite nasty about it, all the while supposedly defending THEIR company. I get the impression that people who work for Keystrokes are very touchy and cannot take any negative comments with a grain of salt. It would seem they are very grumpy and unhappy in some way to treat negative posters that way. Gives the impression that your job may not be all you say it is, or you all have unhappy home lives. After reading the attitudes of people who already work there, I guess it's best not to apply after all. I'd be afraid how I would be treated after hiring. Lots of PMS at this place.
It's so nice to read that someone finally gets it.
Be very glad this happened to you.
They used to have some problems but are now quite a good company - not too big, not too small. They even send Christmas cards!
Only cares about managers...not transcribers
I've been working for Keystrokes for about 2 months.  They went over and above board to help me get settled in, even put me on a different account when technical issues came up, just to make sure I had a job.  I have had none of the bad experiences I'm reading about here.  I feel fortunate to be working for them.  No communication problems either.
No....we're just trying to make sure they don't make the same mistake we did.

What is all this negativity about Keystrokes? I started in Mid-October with them and am quite happy. They are a refreshing change from the bureaucratic methods of the larger service bureaus.  I don't drown in e-mails, I have a lead Transcriptionist who answers questions, I have clear account instructions and expectations. I have been paid on time and accurately. I don't have some middle manager making work for themselves.

Keystrokes is a small but growing company. So, there are going to be administrative growing pains as a result, but I see efforts being made to address this.  I am happier with them than I have been with most other service bureaus.

Keystrokes does not overstaff. They seem to be very careful about taking care of and doing their best to keep their client happy and having enough work for their transcriptionists. I am grateful for the lack of meddling bureaucracy.

200-300 at Keystrokes
Has anyone received their packages yet.
I have nothing at all to do with Keystrokes, but I would say
let the people decide for themselves. What may be a bad fit for one may be a good fit for another.
What does Keystrokes in Illinois pay per line?
Keystrokes, INC
Hey KS...Do you transcribe radiology with KS?
I have worked for this company for about a year both clinic and radiology.  I love my job and I love it here.  I am an IC.  Thinking about being an employee, but have been my own boss for too long regarding vacations, etc.  I have been a Transcriptionist since 1991 both in-house and became IC for the past about 8 years.
Mine is per line.  Not sure what per report is.  Are you getting 1.45/report.  If so, where?
do they offer benefits for full-time employee?
Definitely Keystrokes for Rad. sm
I have never heard anything about SmartMed but I know that Keystrokes does more radiology than anyone else.
Keystrokes does. I am one but we do not get
benefits or paid time off. I was horrible with saving my own taxes, so it is better for me.
I have been with this company for one year and I love it, regardless what others think.  The owner has gotten back to me whenever I have e-mailed her or called and is always pleasant and answers my questions.  I have had more than one account here if there is a slow period you can have a secondary account.  Both transcription leaders/managers are great!!  I have no problems whatsoever.  I think you would be wise!!  I am very comfortable and feel I can call this place home for a long time.

Dr. Dre Attacker Sentenced To One Year In Jail

Jimmy James Johnson pleaded guilty to punching producer at November's Vibe Awards.

Jimmy James Johnson pleaded guilty Wednesday to punching Dr. Dre at the 2004 Vibe Awards and was sentenced to one year in jail by a Los Angeles Superior Court judge.

Johnson, 27, was also given three years of probation for the felony assault count and was ordered to stay away from Dre for three years, according to The Associated Press.

Just moments before Dre was to receive a lifetime achievement award at the November 15 event, Johnson punched the famed hip-hop producer after asking for his autograph. The punch led to a brawl during which Johnson was stabbed and suffering a collapsed lung (see "Dr. Dre Attacked, Man Stabbed During Melee At Vibe Awards").

(Click here to see video of the fight that broke out at the Vibe Awards.)

Young Buck, who was charged with stabbing Johnson, has pleaded not guilty to an assault count. The G-Unit member is out on bail while awaiting trial, which is scheduled to begin later this month (see "Young Buck Must Stand Trial For Vibe Awards Stabbing").

'The Voice' Judges Get Tough As Blind Auditions Continue

Blake Shelton gets desperate as his fellow judges nab even more talented team members.

"The Voice" is cracking down the whip. Blind auditions continued Tuesday night, and judges Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine, Cee Lo Green and Blake Shelton had no mercy.

Although Shelton played his "country card" to a positive response on Monday night, the ACM Male Vocalist of the Year couldn't even get one new member onto his team Tuesday. He even commented on feeling "losery" when considering the ratio of his button-pushing to recruits.

While there were no big surprises, there were a few interesting voices in the episode:

It's a Tough World Out There

Trevanne Howell probably already knew that. The single mother had been through her fair share of ups and downs and came to "The Voice" hoping to create a better life for her children. In a rare television move, the show opener didn't get through. "As sad as you are, nobody's sadder than Cee Lo," Shelton said. Howell had some great "moments" but taking on a Whitney Houston song might have been reaching too high, too fast.

Race to the Top

Former racecar driver Benji revved up the audience and the judges with his voice and now signature scream. Levine and Green both turned around for the talented singer. "You have a scream that should be heard by the entire world," Levine said, "You could wind up winning this thing, you're that special." Cee Lo was at a "loss for words" and eventually lost out to the Maroon 5 frontman.

Blossoming Butterfly

It was hard to believe looking at Joselyn Rivera that she ever had any health issues, let alone a neurological deficiency. The 17-year-old was advised to undergo music therapy as a child and came out of her illness stronger and more inspired to share the message of healing through the arts. Rivera won the hearts of Aguilera and Shelton, who resorted to lies to get Rivera on his side. "There are some people who quit singing just after they met her," Shelton said, accusing Xtina of abusing her contestants. He was called out for going a little too far.

The Vocal Coach That Couldn't

Lorraine Ferro came with a lifetime of music immersion under her belt and a strong résumé as a vocal and performance coach. But it was hard to tell when the 52-year-old took the stage and delivered a strained and over-exaggerated rendition of Demi Lovato's "Skyscraper." The judges weren't having any of it, with all of them passing. They said her performance was "inconsistent" and lacked control.

Soul Brothers

At least the show ended on a high note. Mycle Wastman has suffered many losses in his life, having lost both his parents to health ailments at a young age and recently his caretaker grandfather. But boy did he win on "The Voice." Levine, Green and Shelton started competing for Wastman right away. "You are the best vocalist we've heard today," Shelton said playing nice. "I was most excited about you than anyone else today," Green added, "nobody does soul music better than Cee Lo Green." Wastman agreed and signed on with Cee Lo.

With only a few spots left on most of their teams, the judges plan to be even more selective with contestants. For now, Green and Levine have the lead with 11 members, Xtina is third with 10, and Shelton lags with just seven.

Robert Downey Jr. Surprises In New 'Call Of Duty: Black Ops 2' Ad

Robert Downey Jr.

"Surprise," the new live-action ad for "Call of Duty: Black Ops 2," turned out to be appropriately titled. The commercial features a series of gamers thinking they've just earned the upper-hand in an online firefight, only to be sneaked up on by another player.

One of the those gamers ends up being Iron Man himself, Robert Downey Jr.

"Guess who brought a jet to a gun fight," he quips in the most Downey-esque way.

Check out the ad after the jump!

The cameo actually makes sense considering that it was directed by Downey chum and "Sherlock Holmes" director, Guy Ritchie.

"Call of Duty: Black Ops 2" hits Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and PC on November 13.

What did you think of the "Call of Duty" ad? Let us know in the comments below and on Twitter!

Over $100,000 Raised To Prevent Violence Against Women

An impressive $100,000 has been raised for White Ribbon Australia at a charity lunch hosted by the Maritime Union of Australia (MUA) and Spirit of Tasmania.
Image - 11411419465_77130bb4b6_b.jpg
(L to R): MUA Vic Branch Secretary Kevin Bracken, White Ribbon CEO Libby Davies & MUA Deputy National Secretary / White Ribbon Australia Ambassador Mick Doleman

White Ribbon Australia is a non-profit organisation and Australia's only national, male-led prevention campaign to end men’s violence against women.

MUA Deputy National Secretary, Mick Doleman was the 2011 White Ribbon Australia Ambassador of the Year.

“The White Ribbon model offers a fantastic way to raise the consciousness of men in the maritime industry on the vitally important topic of elimination of violence against women,” Mr Doleman said.

“With a predominantly male workforce, the maritime industry is the perfect place for the work of the White Ribbon movement.

“Having spoken on White Ribbon in NZ, Malaysia, PNG, UK and South Africa, I know it is a truly global movement of great importance.”

Acting TT-Line CEO Stuart McCall said: “The statistics are alarming - one woman is killed in Australia every week by a current or former partner.

“We know our staff and crew and the MUA have been long-term supporters and ambassadors of this important cause.

“We are very pleased that to receive such strong support from a number of transport and maritime companies that attended the luncheon today, including ASP Ship Management, DP World, Teekay, CSL, Linfox, Asciano, Farstad, METL and Patrick Stevedores.

“Raising over $100,000 is something we are all very proud of.”

The event provided a forum to raise awareness and listen to those people who could further educate the broader community about what we can all do to prevent violence against women.

Guest speakers included former politician and ex-footballer Phil Cleary and Janine Greening, a woman who shared her story and experience as part of White Ribbon’s Uncover Secrets campaign.

Launched in 2013, the campaign gives a voice to the everyday experiences of violence against women that occur all around Australia.

These acts include inappropriate behaviour or harassment to physical and emotional abuse.

The website, www.uncoversecrets.com.au, allows users to click on an Australian map and read uncovered secrets of domestic abuse from different parts of Australia.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of White Ribbon Australia driving the national campaign to end violence against women.

Spirit of Tasmania organised a number of raffle prizes to give away to attendees to thank them for their support, including signed Hawthorn and North Melbourne AFL jumpers, return trips on board Spirit of Tasmania and accommodation courtesy of Stanley Hotel and Innkeepers Tasmania.

Prizes were also generously been donated from Boag’s, Blue Penguin Wines, Pipers Brook Vineyard, Brown Brothers, Moores Hill Estate, Three Wishes Vineyard and Seven Sheds Brewery.

1983 Tomy Doozer Wind-Up toys

    Hi everyone! I just acquired another piece of my 1983 Tomy Fraggle Rock collection: AN ORIGINAL SET OF THE FOUR FRAGGLE ROCK WIND UP DOOZERS ALL MINT IN PACKAGING!

    I was thrilled to find this item, and they are all in original packaging in mint condition.

    I was wondering if anyone out there knew what this set might be worth. Obviously, it's going to be more for a fraggle collector, but I was wondering if anyone knows what something like this rare, complete MINT set would fetch.

    Also, if anyone knows where I can get my hands on the 1983 Tomy Sprocket plush, I'd be forever in your debt!
