Bitcoin Price Could Triple in 2017, Saxo Bank Says in ‘Outrageous’ Prediction

Post by Kirti verma on Sat Apr 22, 2017 3:05 pm

axo Bank wouldn’t be surprised if the bitcoin price saw big gains next year.

The Danish investment bank recently published its annual “Outrageous Predictions for 2017”, a collection of speculations that it stressed represents more of a fringe outlook than anything official. At the same time, the bank said that these “outlier” predictions represent its attempt to get those in the financial industry to think about more extreme possibilities for the year ahead.

In addition to off-the-cuff calls that the UK won’t actually leave the European Union and that Italian equity prices will soar on the back of an EU-led bailout, Saxo Bank said that, under the right conditions, the price of bitcoin could skyrocket to more than $2,100.

Chief among its reasons was the potential for the incoming Trump administration to cause turbulence in the US economy (a reason given by bitcoin traders for recent price momentum).

Saxo Bank explained:

“If the banking system as well as sovereigns such as Russia and China move to accept bitcoin as a partial alternative to the USD and the traditional banking and payment system, then we could see bitcoin easily triple over the next year going from the current $700 level to +$2,100 as the block-chains decentralized system, an inability to dilute the finite supply of bitcoins as well as low to no transaction costs gains more traction and acceptance globally.”

Though the prediction doesn’t represent an official position, it’s not the first bullish indication the bank has made.

In 2014, then-current CEO Lars Seier Christensen discussed his “personal” interest in bitcoin with CoinDesk, describing it as an opportunity for investors.

At the time, he had also hinted at early testing of the tech within the bank as well, though later Christensen would go on to argue that liquidity problems at the time were keeping banks on the sidelines.

From fierce looking eyes and uber soft lips, to foundation that goes on just the way you like it, these new makeup must haves are what your beauty routine is calling out for now.

Cold, dry winter air is murder on your mouth. To keep your pout moist, healthy, protected, and hydrated, you need to get your hands on Nuxe’s Reve De Miel lip balm. It’s the richest formula, and my lips have never been softer. I slather it on my lips and let it penetrate and absorb overnight. It comes in a pot, so for hygiene reasons, I keep it out of my pockets so it doesn’t pick up lint. It lives on my nightstand and my lips are better for it. A little goes a long way. Two swipes and your saturated lips will be supple and sexy the next day.

I am a Kopari Beauty obsessive due to its coconut oil products, especially the cleansing oil, which doesn’t irritate my eyes yet removes all of my waterproof, longwearing black liner and mascara. But I am super obsessed with the brand’s Coconut Oil Lip Love. It’s a clear gloss that is majorly hydrating and soothed my swollen, battered lips during a recent cold in which all the sneezing and use of tissues caused me deal with a dry, chapped, and raw pucker. It also added ’00s-era shine, which I’ve never given up on.

Giorgio Armani Power Fabric Foundation is my new favorite liquid makeup because you can use a little or a lot. You can build coverage all over the face or just use a drop here and there to spot check or deal with any breakouts, blemishes, or discoloration. It doesn’t look like you are wearing a mask, since it mimics and melds with skin, blending like a dream. I apply it with a slightly damp beauty blender.

Milk Makeup is one of my fave new brands for its minimalist, fashion girl offerings. Since I love Milk and I love heavy metal I’m also a hard rock publicist), of course I gravitated towards the Lip Metal click pens. If you like a precise lip, but are sorta over the velvet matte trend, then run to Sephora and scoop up Buffy or Slayer.

Milk Makeup’s Night Goals Shadow Quad is also my new go-to. It’s four pans of cream shadow that you dab onto lids with fingers and blend, and it dries down to a powdery finish. I love smudgy, sooty, smoky, rock ‘n’ roll eyes and this baby gets me there. I love the primal-ness of applying shadow with my digits. It’s like eating without utensils. There’s something freeing and fun about doing both with your

“I have too many black eyeliners,” said no one ever, especially this beauty editor. I will try any formula, including and especially a newly discovered indie brand. Velvet by Miggi Cosmetics liquid liners have a velvet-like application, which is key because it doesn’t tug or pull at sensitive eyelid skin or skip or drag. You hear that? It’s eyeliner that’s good for you. Now you know!

Target’s Pixi By Petra line launched the Pixi Pretties range, which is collabs with online beauty and style influencers. Of the collection, I can’t live without the Pixi + Aspyn Ovard Eye Accents set. It’s a clear brow gel aka “Brow Tamer” and Lower Lash Mascara. Those are two features that when properly cared for or accented can make all the difference with those windows to your soul. A little mascara on the bottom lashes is an ace finishing touch.

Dark Nights Are Here Again

Sol went to the vet yesterday to get his stitches out, just a little scar on his eyelid
Once again a handsome fella, all the biopsy's they did have come back clear good news.

I made a big dish of Chili Con Carne yesterday
enough for dinner and Martin took some back to have during the week the rest as been portioned up and in the freezer.
When I went to make it I only had large tins of kidney beans
I used half the tin and the other half was washed drained and popped into the freezer to be used on a later date, when defrosted I just have to make sure not to stir them too much as hey are softer after freezing.
You can do the same with baked beans pop any unused ones into the freezer.
With the clocks changing and the dark evenings are here it means animals are fed watered bedded down and dog walked by 5-30 given me more time for crafting and Martin time to pursue a few hobbies.
Last night he racked off the Pea Pod wine
next week end he will be picking Sloes and starting off the Sloe Gin, this week I want to hunt out some Rose Hips for syrup, I also have the Apple Cider vinegar to see to, that is all I have planned for this week so far, pop over to my craft blog to see what I have been crafting in readiness for my next stall. What are doing with these long dark evenings ?

  1. Sol looks as sad about the early dark nights as I am!

  2. The dark evenings are cosy in some respects but depressing in another. I do enjoy crafting with either the radio or tv on in the background. I would love to do more home brewing too. I have 3 days off and if the weather is kind I will be in the garden.

  3. So pleased Sol is better and results great..dear chap he is rather handsome...love labs . Dark nights are a bit of a downer but at least loads of crafting time ...always a silver lining. Love the tips too. Xx. Also the makes from the cabin....love to see more of the Angels please ...

  4. Awww, glad it's good news for Sol, bless him. Archie's been standing in the kitchen waiting for his tea an hour earlier than usual since the clocks went back, I think I'm going to have to start easing him in to it in future. I do wish they'd stop messing with the clocks, I don't like these darker evenings. I've never thought about freezing baked beans, there's often half a tin left in our house as there's only me who eats them.

  5. Great news about Sol, these dark nights have made me change my dog walking route x

  6. Glad to hear that Sol is all OK. That is good news for you! Sounds as though you are still busy making the most of your time despite the darker evenings! xx

  7. Just showed someone around our garden with a torch! Dark evenings are not good for viewings :) Glad Sol got the all clear.

  8. I'm crafting too - currently crocheting socks for Tam's boyfriend for Christmas.

    Glad Sol's results came back OK, and he is mended. I've given up wine making now as I can't drink it, but I did enjoy wine making for many years. The sloes on my land have come to nothing, but I still have sloe gin in the cupboard from last year, and some sloes in the freezer. Raspberry Ratafia is fabulous too, and can be made with boughten frozen raspberries.

  9. Good news about Sol - bless him :) I love these autumn evenings, being able to snuggle up with warm food, a book or a good programme on telly. I too will be crafting very soon in readiness for Christmas. I'll have to go over to your craft blog for inspiration :)

Thank you for taking the time and leaving a comment I do appreciate it, I may not always answer comments but I do read them all.

Goats Lock In

When things go wrong they always seem to happen in three's,
First it was the goats, when I went to feed them this morning, unbolted the door and it wouldn't open, one of the goats must have been rubbing against the door and knocked the inside latch, they had locked themselves in and no amount of persuasion could make them unlock the door, I had to crow bar it open, which has resulting in splitting the door post, I was planning to keep them shut in today and tomorrow, Thelma has developed a limp, her foot looks fine I have cleaned it up sprayed it with the copper spray daily and thought perhaps a couple of days on dry straw might help.
After doing the rounds I headed off to pick up a prescription, on the way back I stopped to collect the goats some Ivy.
Made a big pot of veg soup
 That will see us through lunches over the week-end
 I also got the usual bread done

Also got a batch of yogurt on the go.
In between I had to see to the doves, they abandoned the eggs a couple of days ago, so I cleared out the nest and eggs along with the other pop holes and laid them some new straw in there, I broke open the eggs and they had only developed for a few days and no further.
Walked the dog and on the way back saw the big cockerel mount my little white bantam followed by one of the other cockerel's when going out to feed them she just sat huddled in the run, I think she has been injured, I have removed her and put in the little house and run by herself, if there is no improvement in a few days she will be dispatched, if she pulls round I will either have to re-home her or get a couple of bantams to keep her company, she cant go in with the big hens again.
 The rains have come down and the wind has been gusting 40mph you don't really want to be out there sorting out issues when the weather isn't good but needs must.
On a happier note I took delivery of a selection of cider apple trees
 they came from Kev over on English Homestead
They are a lovely size and smell of apples, they will be a great addition to the orchard, Kev raises his own apple trees. pop over and see he has a great selection at really good prices.

  1. We are hoping Kev still has some apple trees left when we get to the cottage as it would be lovely to get them from a fellow blogger rather than a big company

  2. Oh those naughty goats.
    Sad about the dove eggs isn't it?
    Your bread looks amazing. I haven't done any baking for ages so I might have a session next week when I have the house to myself-x-

  3. Wow that was a day. Hope Thelma's day improved. Poor little bantam.

  4. Hoping for a better day for you today Dawn. Sorry to hear the doves have abandoned their eggs and about Thelma. Well done for keeping going despite. We have to don't we :)

  5. I hope that today was much less stressful! Jx

  6. Shame about the goats, dove's and bantam, I suppose the trees from Kev are a silver lining on the day I'm sure they won't dissapoint you in the long run

Thank you for taking the time and leaving a comment I do appreciate it, I may not always answer comments but I do read them all.

James Martin to step down as Saturday Kitchen presenter

James Martin said he was looking forward to a lie-in as he announced he will step down as presenter of BBC One's Saturday Kitchen after 10 years at the helm.

The chef and car enthusiast, who has presented the programme since 2006, will host his final show at the end of March, before guest presenters take over from April.

Martin said: "I would like to personally thank all the viewers for turning Saturday Kitchen into a three million-plus smash hit. I could not have done it without them.

"I would also like to thank the BBC and Saturday Kitchen for the great opportunity they gave me.

"It has been an amazing journey and I have been privileged to work with some of the world's greatest chefs and some of the greatest names in showbiz. I wish the new chefs every success.

"I am looking forward to getting stuck into my new projects and to lots of lie-ins on a Saturday morning."

The live cookery show has become a hit with viewers since its inception in 2002, fronted by a then relatively unknown Gregg Wallace, followed by Antony Worrall Thompson.

Martin has not disappeared from the show entirely and will still be seen on Saturday Kitchen Best Bites on BBC Two on Sunday mornings.

Saturday Kitchen airs every Saturday at 10am on BBC One.

Veteran Irish broadcaster Gay Byrne faces prostate cancer tests

By Eimear Rabbitte

Gay Byrne has vowed to stay positive as he revealed he must undergo hospital tests to determine if prostate cancer has spread to his lower back.

The legendary Irish broadcaster (82) broke the news of his health scare on his Lyric FM show yesterday afternoon.

The former Late Late Show host stunned listeners when he revealed he would not be on air next week, as he is going into hospital.

"I shall not be with our listeners on this day next week. Have to go to hospital this week... They think they may have discovered a bit of cancer in the prostate and they think it may have moved up into my back," he said.

"I've had the most wonderful, fantastic, robust, good health all my broadcasting life.

"It's my turn now ... Many, many people much worse off. Thank you for your good wishes."

Speaking last night, Byrne revealed that he will know more in the coming days and that his outlook remained positive.

"I was stating it to my listeners to avoid any rumours or talk," he said. "I said (on my show) that I have to go into hospital for more tests - I could have a touch of prostate cancer. Nothing has been confirmed, I will know more at the end of the week."

Following his retirement, Byrne continued to broadcast on radio and TV. He suffered a heart attack last December but returned to work just weeks later.

Belfast singer Brian Kennedy - recently diagnosed with cancer himself - tweeted that he was "sending all my love and support to Gay Byrne after hearing about his cancer".

Parents face Brexit hit as Mothercare warns over clothing price hikes

Parents are set to be the latest to suffer from the Brexit-hit pound after Mothercare warned over price hikes for baby clothes.

The retailer said prices are expected to rise by between 3% and 5% from the middle of next year as it faces surging costs after the pound's plunge since the vote to leave the EU.

Clothing and footwear will take the brunt of the price rises as Mothercare buys most of its ranges in US dollars from suppliers in the Far East and India.

The blow to mothers and fathers comes after the pound slumped to 31-year lows against the dollar following the EU referendum.

A raft of retailers have warned over price rises since the Brexit vote, including high street giant Next.

Mark Newton-Jones, chief executive of Mothercare, told the Press Association the slump in the value of the pound against the dollar has had a "big impact".

He added: "We are working very hard... to take down that cost."

He said the group had negotiated with suppliers to reduce the price impact by a third, while the company itself will take on around a third of the extra costs, with the rest passed on to customers.

His warnings came as Mothercare revealed it slumped to a loss after suffering a "difficult" first half as sales were knocked by poor weather and a warehouse overhaul.

Shares in the group fell 4% as it posted a bottom-line loss of £800,000 in the six months to October 28 against profits of £5.8 million a year earlier, with like-for-like UK sales falling by 0.7%.

On an underlying basis, pre-tax profits fell 15.7% to £5.9 million.

It marks a setback after Mothercare reported its first annual profit for five years in May.

But Mr Newton-Jones said sales have returned to growth and insisted the first half woes were a "bump in the road" as he continues with a plan to turn around the business.

He is in the second year of an overhaul, which is closing a quarter of shops and shifting focus to out-of-town stores rather than high street locations, as well as online trade.

Mothercare closed six stores in the first half and has refurbished around 60% of its shops.

Mr Newton-Jones said the group aims to be left with around 160 stores, but added its estate is "constantly under review".

Mothercare saw underlying half-year losses widen for the UK business, to £8.8 million from £6.1 million a year ago.

Its international business - which accounts for more than two-thirds of group revenues - saw sales nudged higher by the Brexit-hit pound, up 7.1% to £399.9 million.

But with the boost from the plunging pound stripped out, overseas sales fell 0.8% and were 2.9% down on a like-for-like basis.

This left underlying profits down 4.1% at £20.8 million for the international arm.

Man sentenced for fatal 2009 crash

DULUTH - A 21-year-old Red Lake man was sentenced Wednesday in connection with a teenage girl's death after an automobile crash.

Kyle Mitchell Lee Hardy received a sentence of time served and three years of supervised release on a count of involuntary manslaughter.

Hardy pleaded guilty last Nov. 14 after agreeing to a plea agreement with federal prosecutors.

According to a news re-lease from the U.S. Attorney's Office:

Hardy admitted he was driving under the influence when he failed to negotiate a turn in a road on the Red Lake Indian Reservation. Two juveniles riding in the truck's open bed were thrown out. One juvenile suffered a broken ankle and the other died.

Hardy, who was age 18 at the time, had been drinking at a party in Redby that evening and left about 1 a.m. for Redby.

Hardy was driving along side another vehicle when he approached a curve in the road and failed to turn appropriately, causing the pickup to leave the road.

Physiotherapists (PTs) working with young children on the autism spectrum may focus on basic motor skills such as sitting, rolling, standing and playing. They may also work with parents to teach them some techniques for helping their child build muscle strength, coordination and skills. As children grow older, physiotherapists are more likely to come to a child’s school. There, they may work on more complex skills such as skipping, kicking, throwing and catching. These skills are not only important for physical development, but also for social engagement in sports, recess and general play.

Community Physiotherapy Service (Specific community links in Find More menu)
Location: Hamilton Health Centre Hamilton (67 Victoria Street)
Hours: Monday to Friday (by appointment),  8:30 a.m. to 4 pm
Phone: 278-6450

Promotes functional independence by providing assessments and individualised programmes and education for seniors and physically challenged individuals, at home or in residential care facilities. Young children with severe delays in normal motor development, who do not have access to physiotherapy at other facilities, may be serviced via medical referral.

Ashlee Simpson’s Nose Job

Is Ashlee Simpson He made a nose job? Who denying that celebrities make a nose job? Celebrities why make a nose job? And why deny the nose job? Who are these celebrities?

nose job in young, Ashlee Simpson

nose job in young, Ashlee Simpson

Of celebrities, posture, smile, and know the beauty. As though, like baby toys, they wander around. I will say no to the beauty already, however, the word Toy Baby, not wrong. Exactly the right word, “doll”, these celebrities is very convenient. So, to correct the body to close the flaws, they make all kinds of plastic surgery were welcomed. No matter how expensive it is, does not matter. Because they are gaining a lot more money than they give to aesthetics.

Rodger Bumpass arrested, suspected of DUI

Actor Rodger Bumpass, known for his work as the voice of Squidward in the show "SpongeBob SquarePants," was recently arrested in California. He has been accused of driving while impaired. Being convicted of DUI can have a great affect on one's life. As such is the case, seeking the services of an experienced criminal defense attorney is typically the first order of business after an arrest.

At around midnight on Jan. 15, Mr. Bumpass was allegedly found by police, standing in the middle of a street outside of his parked vehicle. Authorities claim that he admitted to having been driving his car recently. Believing that he was under the influence, police arrested Mr. Bumpass and transported him to a holding facility in the Burbank area.

Bail was set in this case at $15,000. Mr. Bumpass was held overnight until he could post bail the next morning. At this time, it is unknown if a court date has been scheduled regarding this matter.

The details surrounding this arrest are very limited. Authorities failed to report what type of substance Rodger Bumpass is accused of utilizing before operating his vehicle. It was also not reported what sobriety tests, if any, were used to determine his alleged impairment. With legal assistance, the accused may be able to fight the charges filed against him or seek a plea agreement in return for lighter sentencing. As with any DUI case in California or elsewhere, a criminal defense attorney can assist the client in determining the best course of action for his circumstances.

Real Life Story

I am a grieving mother. I'd heard of domestic violence; was a victim and a survivor. But never in my life did I even think that gun violence would impact my life - at least not directly. On February 8, 2000, both my 22 year old twin sons were working on a car in Oakland where they were employed and attended college; that is where they were both murdered by a killer using an A-K47 rifle. They were the 10th and 11th murders (2000. As an effort to cope, I doubled my caseload so that I could avoid facing my indescribable fears and heartaches. Almost one year to the date, I passed out on my job. My doctor admitted me to the hospital for support and finally placed me on long-term disability with instructions to take anti-depressants. However, I was forced to face my fear of endless and painful tears. I sank into a deep depression; suffered in silence for years until one day I could sense the Holy Spirit speaking to me "Lorrain, you can lie here and die here or you can get up and live". I responded. "Lord I want to live". "Get up, go see about the other mothers". Realizing I was not the only one suffering the loss of a child to gun violence, I got up and began knocking on doors attempting to share groceries and offer support to other - especially grieving mothers; we often ended up consoling one another. The fact that I understood, I was welcomed in to offer much needed ongoing and practical services to families and friends of homicide victims and victims of both domestic and/or gun violence. Following a profile in the S.F. Chronicle in December 2006, my life has never been the same. While the pain is still present, I find nothing more rewarding than helping others. By L. Taylor

Celia: My Life

New: $24.13

Price as of 08/02/17

  • ASIN: 0060725532

Product Description

      For the first time in her own words comes the personal story of a life filled with heartbreaking setback and triumph, from one of the most celebrated talents the world has ever known.

After Celia Cruz passed away on July 17, 2003, more than a half million people stood in line for hours in order to pay their respects, in both Miami and New York. Millions more paid tribute to her, holding impromptu memorials in living rooms and crowded street festivals throughout the world.

Filled with the sound of her unmistakable voice, as fans played the songs that she will forever be remembered for, the Queen of Salsa's passing was marked with the same celebratory fervor Celia Cruz emulated throughout her life and career; a career that spanned the entire latter half of the twentieth century.

Yet Celia Cruz's life had been largely mired in rumor and speculation. When she was alive, Celia Cruz never granted anyone total access to her life story and photo archive. Finally, comes a book that chronicles her own story, in her own words.

From her modest childhood in Cuba to her exile years in Mexico to her remarkable career and life in America, Celia was a woman of contrasts. Her flamboyant costumes contrasted with her simple and straightforward demeanor. She was open and accessible to her fans, but staunchly private about her personal life. She was uninhibited without decadence, honest without offense, confident but not arrogant, and generous without fault. Yet above all, Celia was authentic, and it was this authenticity that resonated so deeply with her public.

Based on more than five hundred hours of taped interviews recorded just months before her death, Celia includes never-before-published personal photos and anecdotes, letting fans glimpse a life that, while lived in the full view of the public, had remained largely private.

Celia celebrates the soul of a life blessed with talent -- strengthened by an unquestioned work ethic as well as an unwavering faith in God and humanity -- in these, her final words to the public she adored, and who equally loved her back.

ଚା ପାନ ବିରତି : A nice blog on watching Cricket in Barabati stadium in 1979 by Sambeet Dash

Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag (L) and

In 1979, as a 10 year old cricket fan, I was watching a match between the touring Australian team and India at the Barabati Stadium, Cuttack, Odisha. There was no TV those days. The gallery was full of transistor wielding spectators.

Came afternoon. Close to tea, came the announced from the Odia commentator “CHA PAANA BIRATI”, meaning “Tea Break”. The person sitting next to me gave me some unsolicited information, that the players will go outside for tea and chew a few betel leaves (PAAN) during this break, hence the name “CHA PAANA BIRATI”.

I believed him and imagined Alan Border along with Kim Hughes going out to a kiosk outside and ordering GOPAL ZARDA (A popular scented tobacco) PAAN, followed by a “Cutting Chai”, brewed from a coal oven. However I took it for granted that Rabi Panda, a player representing Odisha those days, did so.

My grandfather who saw Imran Khan rubbing the red cherry vigorously on his groin during India’s tour in 1982-83, though that the Pakistani player was having JAADU or KUNDIA (Eczema) infection. He ascribed it to the Pakistani’s eating Beef – a supposedly hot meat with side effects like skin desease, who could be immensely benefited from using a liberal dosage of MANMOHAN JAADU MALAM, a locally available Eczema cream.

Jesus Prays on the Mount of Olives

39 1And he came out and went, 2as was his custom, to 3the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him.
40 4And when he came to 5the place, he said to them, 6"Pray that you may not 7enter into temptation."
41 And he withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and 8knelt down and prayed,
42 saying, 9"Father, if you are willing, remove 10this cup from me. 11Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done."
43 And there appeared to him 12an angel from heaven, strengthening him.
44 And 13being in an agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.a
45 And when he rose from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping for sorrow,
46 and he said to them, "Why are you sleeping? Rise and 14pray that you may not enter into temptation."

2. And fire came forth from the presence of the LORD and devoured them, and they died before the LORD.

3. Then Moses said to Aaron, "This is what the LORD has said, `I will show myself holy among those who are near me, and before all the people I will be glorified.'" And Aaron held his peace.

4. And Moses called Mish'a-el and Elza'phan, the sons of Uz'ziel the uncle of Aaron, and said to them, "Draw near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp."

5. So they drew near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp, as Moses had said.

6. And Moses said to Aaron and to Elea'zar and Ith'amar, his sons, "Do not let the hair of your heads hang loose, and do not rend your clothes, lest you die, and lest wrath come upon all the congregation; but your brethren, the whole house of Israel, may bewail the burning which the LORD has kindled.

7. And do not go out from the door of the tent of meeting, lest you die; for the anointing oil of the LORD is upon you." And they did according to the word of Moses.

8. And the LORD spoke to Aaron, saying,

9. "Drink no wine nor strong drink, you nor your sons with you, when you go into the tent of meeting, lest you die; it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations.

10. You are to distinguish between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the clean;

11. and you are to teach the people of Israel all the statutes which the LORD has spoken to them by Moses."

12. And Moses said to Aaron and to Elea'zar and Ith'amar, his sons who were left, "Take the cereal offering that remains of the offerings by fire to the LORD, and eat it unleavened beside the altar, for it is most holy;

13. you shall eat it in a holy place, because it is your due and your sons' due, from the offerings by fire to the LORD; for so I am commanded.

14. But the breast that is waved and the thigh that is offered you shall eat in any clean place, you and your sons and your daughters with you; for they are given as your due and your sons' due, from the sacrifices of the peace offerings of the people of Israel.

15. The thigh that is offered and the breast that is waved they shall bring with the offerings by fire of the fat, to wave for a wave offering before the LORD, and it shall be yours, and your sons' with you, as a due for ever; as the LORD has commanded."

16. Now Moses diligently inquired about the goat of the sin offering, and behold, it was burned! And he was angry with Elea'zar and Ith'amar, the sons of Aaron who were left, saying,

17. "Why have you not eaten the sin offering in the place of the sanctuary, since it is a thing most holy and has been given to you that you may bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before the LORD?

18. Behold, its blood was not brought into the inner part of the sanctuary. You certainly ought to have eaten it in the sanctuary, as I commanded."

19. And Aaron said to Moses, "Behold, today they have offered their sin offering and their burnt offering before the LORD; and yet such things as these have befallen me! If I had eaten the sin offering today, would it have been acceptable in the sight of the LORD?"

20. And when Moses heard that, he was content.

“O passado não conta mais para o Senhor. O que conta é o presente e estar atento e pronto para reparar o que foi feito.” São Padre Pio de Pietrelcina

HobbyKing Jumps Sharks?

In todays hot news, Flite Test releases a video of them doing a “review” of a couple of the HobbyKing batteries vs a ThunderPower Lipo. Go ahead and watch the vid I’ll wait. To me it’s like watching Fonzie jump over all those sharks on his water skis. Why? Because I take the “Flite Test” show as being a thinly disguised HobbyKing advertisement (did they get this idea from Horizon or something? LOL). The “Flite Test” guys say their show is sponsored by HobbyKing, is HobbyKing their only “sponsor”? Do they actually work for HobbyKing? Do they ever “review” anything other than “HobbyKing” product? I’m sure one of our readers can fill in some of the blanks for us here.

Do you see Ford reviewing their own Mustang? Do you see Canon reviewing their new T3i? Do you see Torgoen reviewing one of their T01’s? Ummm, no, no you don’t.

Do you think Ford would ever give their Mustang a bad review? Would Canon ever trash their own T3i? Is Torgoen going to say their uber new T16 is a piece of crap? Nope. The buying public would not believe one word out of their mouths while reviewing their own product.

What the buying public respects is independent third party reviews/tests. Reviews done by people that don’t profit (or suffer a loss) from a good (or bad) review. When a company does a review of their own product they are implying two things to the buying public- “Hello potential customer, we think you are stupid enough to believe this!” and “Our product is soooooo bad we have to review it ourselves!”. Neither of those unsaid statements go over well with potential customers. Consumers in the internet age have an astutely accurate bulls#!% meter. When any company sets off that radar, watch out, it’s not going to end well. LOL

Sometimes the obvious must be said, so here it is. To the select few in the rc industry that chose to review your own products- you look like complete freak’n morons, and you instantly lose any and all respect with consumers (and the rest of the industry too!) by doing so.

Comments are on- GO!

Ohio State tops Texas, 24-7

Sept. 9, 2006

In the first regular season matchup of No. 1 vs. No 2 in a decade, Smith riddled the Longhorns for 269 yards passing and two touchdowns, leading the Buckeyes to a 24-7 win Saturday night.

The victory keeps the Buckeyes (2-0) in perfect position for a run to a national title. Keep winning and they stay right where they are.

The Buckeyes defense, which had to replace nine starters this season, looked championship caliber, holding a Texas team that had scored at least 40 points in 12 consecutive games to a single touchdown.

As for No. 2 Texas (1-1), which saw its 21-game winning streak snapped, the Longhorns will need some help if they hope to defend their 2005 championship at the end of the season.

Colt McCoy was no Vince Young in the rematch of last season's 25-22 Texas win in Columbus. The Longhorns' new starting QB threw for 154 yards with an interception and a touchdown.

"It's not a revenge thing, any and every win we get during the course of the season is a good win," said Smith, who split time at quarterback in last year's game, his first after a suspension.

The last time 1-2 met in the regular season, No. 2 Florida State beat No. 1 Florida, but the Gators won the rematch in the Sugar Bowl to win the national championship.

Smith was everything Texas feared this time: a leader and a playmaker.

He threw first half touchdown passes of 14 yards to Anthony Gonzalez and a 29-yard to best friend and high school teammate Ted Ginn Jr. The second was a perfect strike just before halftime that sucked the life out of the home crowd.

Gonzalez had eight catches for 142 yards, both career highs, against a defense concentrating on stopping Ginn, who finished with five catches for 97 yards.

The Longhorns used their win in Columbus last season as the springboard to their first undisputed national title since 1969. But that win and that season came with Young at quarterback.

McCoy, the redshirt freshman from West Texas, showed he can take a tough hit, but he couldn't pull off the type of comeback that Young had made legendary in his Texas career.

Saturday night's game was an unusual early-season blockbuster with two of college football's heavyweights both on the field and in tradition.

Ohio State was the first No. 1 to come to Austin since SMU in 1950.

A Buckeyes booster put up $225,000 to bring the Ohio State band, and fans groups estimated that as many as 40,000 Buckeyes faithful made the 1,200-mile trip from Columbus, with or without tickets for the game.

The Royal-Memorial Stadium record crowd of 89,442 was on its feet 30 minutes before kickoff while a couple hundred more watched Wrigley Field-style from the roof of the parking lot next door. Seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong, who lives in Austin, was an honorary captain for the coin flip and LeBron James watched from the Ohio State sideline.

Antique Billiard & Snooker Table Lighting

Until the first electric light became available late in the 19th century all Billiard tables were illuminated by gas or flame, when electric became available many Antique Billiard - Snooker light fittings were converted from gas to electric.

As a general rule a six shade light fitting is the most appropriate to illuminate a full size Antique Billiard- Snooker table, allowing an even distribution across the bed of the table.

We have several Antique Billiard lights in stock, we restore these using traditional methods and prefer to keep as much of the original finish as possible.

Once the Frame of the lamp has been cleaned and repaired it is wired and tested by a certified PAT technician.

Sometimes the original shades are beyond repair but we have an excellent shade maker who can re-create the original pattern by hand.

Antique Billiard and Snooker lights are becoming extremely difficult to source, original available examples are shown below.

We have sold some fabulous Antique Snooker lights over the past 20 years, many of which are illustrated in the Sold Items section of this web site.

Due to the high demand for Antique lights, the manufacture of new bespoke light fittings has become a viable less expensive alternative.

These new Snooker lights are made by hand using traditional methods and can be made in either brass or steel with optional finishes.

Bra Care Instructions

Bra Care Instructions

When it comes to Bits of Lace fine lingerie, hand washing is the only way to go. Properly caring for and preserving your lingerie comes down to washing it correctly. Although your washing machine may say Delicate Cycle, there is no cycle delicate enough for your fine European lingerie. Your bras will last for years if you hand wash them and frequently rotate your bra selection.

Before you ever wash anything, consult the tags on the garment. If you choose to care for it differently than the tag advises, be aware that you may have waived all rights to a replacement should the garment be ruined.

Always check for colorfastness before dunking your entire garment in the water. A good way to test this is to dip a corner in water, hang it over a clean, white cloth (that you do not mind possibly staining), and check to see if any dye drips off. Many dark garments release some dye when they are washed, but it is always good to be aware of this so other garments you might be washing simultaneously are not tinted by the dye.

The best fabric wash to use is Forever New, which has been on the market for over twenty-five years. Forever New is an organic fabric wash which uses gentle ingredients to clean your lingerie and other hosiery. Forever New is available in the classic granule formulation, a liquid formula ideal for dark fabrics and an excellent stain remover perfect for even your most delicate fabrics.

Forever New Washing Instructions:

Begin to fill the sink with lukewarm water

Add the Forever New fabric wash, and continue filling

Swish your hand in the water to mix in the fabric wash and add your delicates

Just as with regular laundry, wash like colors together.

Swish them for a minute or two, allow them to soak a few minutes more, then rinse twice.

Hang them to dry, taking care to reshape the cups if necessary.

Soak is a low-suds liquid and you don’t have to rinse it.  The dirt and detergent will come out in the water and whatever is left in the garment will disappear.  The hint of fragrance that is left will fade away.  It is suggested that you rinse your lingerie and swimwear, and this will affect how the agent cleans it will just remove any fragrance.  Soak is environmentally friendly, biodegradable, phosphate free and dye free.

Soak Washing Instructions:

Fill your sink with plenty of cool water to fully cover all of the garments you would like to wash

Pour a teaspoon (or one squeeze) of the liquid into the water and mix with your hand

Add them items you wish to clean, washing like colors together

Let your delicates set for 15 minutes, then rinse

Get rid of the excess water by squeezing gently, but do not wring or squeeze hard

Use a clean towel and roll your garments if needed.  Lay the items flat to dry, reshaping as you go.

I-1053: Critical to Washington State Businesses and Workers

June 10, 2010

Washington state voters face critical decision-making. The success of the state’s economy and job-creation efforts hinges largely on Initiative 1053. Proponents have been working feverishly to qualify I-1053 for the Nov. 2010 ballot. It would restore monetary protections for businesses and all other taxpayers from the perennial chicanery of the state Legislature.

It requires a two-thirds legislative vote for any new taxes. In my view, it insures a higher degree of transparency, which is constantly lacking in the Legislature.

 “Reinstating the supermajority vote for new taxes has never been more important with the very real threat of even more tax increases in the 2011 session – or earlier,” says Don Brunell, president of the Association of Washington Business, which is also known as the state’s chamber of commerce.

“This warning has been confirmed by recent news from Governor Gregoire that a special session may be necessary as the state budget may be in doubt due to lawmakers relying on federal funds that are not likely to materialize,” he adds.

But it has not yet qualified for the ballot with enough voter signatures.

“With less than a month left to gather signatures some may wonder how many of the initiative campaigns will be successful and qualify for the ballot,” says Jason Mercier, director of the Center for Government Reform for the Washington Policy Center.

“One measure, I-1053, may benefit from news from the Office of Financial Management that the state is facing at least a $3 billion deficit in the next budget,” asserts Mr. Mercier.

“This means lawmakers’ first choice to solve the problem next year may be tax increases unless the voters re-impose for the fourth time the restriction that tax increases require a two-thirds vote,” he warns.

Fourth time? Yes, he’s right – a fourth time. For many years, I’ve been writing about legislative chicanery that has damaged commerce and taxpayers. Every time voters approve restrictions on spending, lawmakers find ways furtively and overtly to circumvent the will of voters.

In 2010, lawmakers suspended transparency provisions and the provisos of I-960, which voters passed in 2007. It mandated tax increases could only be implemented by a two-thirds supermajority vote in the Legislature or upon approval by voters. But then, after the destroying voters’ protections and refusing to require efficiencies in state government, the Legislature passed more than $800 million in additional taxes.

But there is some good news. Sixty percent of voters are in favor of the requirements of I-1053, according to the Washington Poll in May, 2010. In another Washington Poll, More Voters Say Washington State is Headed the Wrong Way.

In a sense, that’s encouraging because the Washington State Office of Financial Management echoes a dire warning about future budget issues that I’ve been giving for what seems like forever.

Its budget-writing instructions for state agencies for the 2011-13 Biennium states:

“A preliminary estimate by OFM indicates that a gap of about $3 billion between expected revenues and basic spending pressures (not including any new programs or policies) will need to be addressed to balance the budget,” according to budget instructions by the state office of financial management ( see page 7 of the document).

“Although stronger-than-predicted revenue growth would help remedy this situation, revenues would need to grow by more than 9 percent per year to make up most of the projected gap, a rate which is unlikely to be achieved,” the authors warn.

Racism Isn't A Fad

-A +A

First, the media must be consistent in how they cover racism and other controversial issues. They cannot continue the â€œyou lead, I followâ€? trendy approach to news coverage on such pressing issues. Thatâ€™s not really journalism.

[Comment: Race Matters]

Racism still alive, they just be concealing it!

 Kanye West sang that line in his song “Never Let Me Down” off his College Dropout album, and despite West’s intentional grammatical error, the producer and rapper made an accurate observation. West’s line rings true; but we can omit the last phrase. Racism is still alive, and it’s more blatant than ever.

Pick up a newspaper, turn on your television, visit an online news Web site, and you’ll immediately see. The news of late has been filled with reports of hate crimes and race-related tensions.

Let’s start with Don Imus and the Rutgers Women’s Basketball Team.

Imus, once named by Time Magazine as one of the 25 Most Influential People In America, was fired by CBS on April 12, 2007. Why?  Because Imus made racist remarks on his radio program against the Rutgers Women’s Basketball Team, referring to the predominantly Black players as “Nappy-Headed Hoes”.

On Sept. 20, 2007, thousands of Blacks, and a few Whites, participated in the unprecedented mobilization movement of the 21st century – a rally in Jena, La. and around the nation to support Mychal Bell, one of the six teenaged Black males who were outrageously charged with attempted second-degree murder and conspiracy to attempt second-degree murder for beating a white student at their high school in Jena, La.

On that same night, September 20, two teenaged white males were spotted in Alexandria, La. driving around with nooses tied to the back of their pick-up truck. The next day, a white supremacist posted racist remarks on his Web site, saying that he’d like to go down to Jena and put a bullet in one of the Black kids involved in the beating of the white boy. But media coverage on the blatant racism didn’t end there.

Less than three weeks later, the Associated Press, CNN and other mainstream media reported an incident at the Model Secondary school for the deaf held on the Gallaudet University campus in Washington D.C. Seven students, six white and one Black, held a Black student against his will and marked “KKK” and swastikas on his body.

One week later, a noose was hung on a Black professor’s door at Columbia University in New York. On the same day, the Daily News had featured an entire page on racial issues, including an incident where an 18-year-old Queens, N.Y. woman was arrested on charges that she flashed a noose, shouted the N-word and threatened to kill her neighbor’s children.

The next day, New York newspapers and TV stations reported that a Brooklyn, N.Y. detective filed suit against an Emergency Service Unit Squad after he found a noose over his locker. The detective, 45-year-old Gregory Anderson, added that the squad was allegedly called the “Slave Ship” because of the large number of Black officers assigned there. The numbers of race-related incidents in October alone appear mind-boggling. Why, the answer lies in one word – trends.

Race-related issues are the current “hot topics” in media, and so they receive extensive coverage. It’s this year’s fall fad in the media industry. Do not for a moment be fooled into thinking that for years people haven’t been hanging nooses on doors, or hurling demeaning and offensive hate messages. None of these incidents are unprecedented. Racism didn’t take a few months off and suddenly decide to resurrect in the month of October. It’s been here all along. But in order for Americans to combat this cancer that’s been damaging our society for centuries, a few things have to happen.

First, the media must be consistent in how they cover racism and other controversial issues. They cannot continue the “you lead, I follow” trendy approach to news coverage on such pressing issues. That’s not really journalism.

Second, Americans have to be real with each other. One of the biggest fears Blacks and Whites have today is the fear of coming across offensive. Every one wants to be politically correct, and in an attempt to do so, people often shy away from openly and respectfully addressing and discussing race-related issues for fear of appearing racist. Sadly, this fear is stunting our intellectual development as human beings, and we remain ignorant in our knowledge of those who are of different races. The lack of an open and honest discussion has precluded a debate on the merits or demerits of issues such as an official apology for slavery and reparations.

Third, we must acknowledge and accept that racism is embedded in our history and still exists today. Before the civil rights movement of the 1960s, Blacks were neither accepted nor tolerated in America. Today, almost 50 years later, we’re simply tolerated. For the most part, the two races have found ways to coexist; but tolerance does not and will not erase genuine feelings of apathy and hatred. Do not mistake tolerance for progress. True progress will only be attained when we can accept, acknowledge and then remove the hatred embedded in our history.

The incidents of the past year exemplify what occurs in America on a daily basis. We can educate, desegregate and tolerate as much as we want, but race-related tensions will continue to repeat themselves and negatively affect our society as long as we don’t get to the root of the problem – the racism that exists in our hearts.

United Nations Decade of Sustainable Energy for All

By unanimous decision of all Member States the UN General Assembly declared the period from 2014 to 2024 the “Decade of Sustainable Energy for All”. This is to highlight the necessity of a reliable and affordable access to energy sources for all people. The resolution stressed the need to improve access to reliable, affordable, economically viable, socially acceptableand environmentally sound energy services and resources for sustainable development.  To that end, it also highlighted the importance of improving energy efficiency, increasing the share of renewable energy and cleaner and energy-efficient technologies.

The Sustainable Energy for All initiative is a multi-stakeholder partnership between governments, the private sector, and civil society. Launched by the UN Secretary-General in 2011, it has three interlinked objectives to be achieved by 2030:

  1. Ensure universal access to modern energy services.
  2. Double the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency.
  3. Double the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix.

Achieving the three objectives together will maximize development benefits and help stabilize climate change over the long run.

What is Tui Na ?

Tui Na is hands-on deep tissue massage. It ranks equally with acupuncture, herbal medicine and Qigong. It has been tried and tested for over 4,000 years and is still regularly used by the Chinese (over one fifth of the World's population). It is part of the second largest medical system in the World.

Tui Na is based on the same medical theory as acupuncture

Done correctly, Tui Na facilitates the flow of vital energy called Qi (pronounced "chee"). It has been shown to flow through a system of channels called "meridians". Stimulation of various combinations of Qi-points on these meridians forms the basis of Tui Na therapy (translated as "push and grasp").

Tui Na deep tissue massage techniques are designed to produce powerful therapeutic effects on the flow of Qi in the body.

Tui Na is performed through clothing, is completely holistic and has no negative side effects

Techniques taught in these massage workshops

What is the difference between Tui Na taught in this massage workshop and Acupressure?

picture of tui na technique as taught on this massage workshopAcupressure involves gentle static pressure applied to acupoints. Tui Na focuses on the meridians as well as the acupoints. Tui Na has a vast range of vigorous, deep tissue pressure movement techniques that promote Qi (intrinsic energy) flow and balance.

What is the difference between Tui Na and Shiatsu?

Both therapies are based on the same basic traditional Chinese medical theory. Tui Na dates back to over 4,000 years. However, around 1000 years ago Tui Na was introduced into Japan, where it was modified to become what is now known as Shiatsu.

Tui Na has a huge arsenal of robust deep tissue pressure and manipulative techniques all of which require diverse movements. Shiatsu by comparison is very slow, gentle and static with lots of sustained presses.

What People say about these massage workshops

"We believe students trained at your school are mostly exceptional and impressive."

Tony Wright Bsc:
Several years ago I attended both the Foundation & Master Practitioner Tui na courses at the Bodyharmonics centre in Cheltenham.

From day one of the course, taught by Maria, Trevor & Graham
Mercati, I was captivated by the knowledge, skill & love of their work. The training was intense & a lot was expected of students - mainly to work very hard and learn. The first time Maria demonstrated a technique on me I knew I was in the right school.

You have to feel the Tui na that is taught at Bodyharmonics. Language will not describe its unique flavour. Since having a successful practice for the past few years I have experienced other massage systems including Tui na practitioners trained elsewhere. None so far have had this unique approach to Tui na, an approach my clients come back for again and again (even when they are better). I am working hard to develop and maintain the very high standards that I was taught. Long may the Mercati family continue to teach this very special work.

Alan Orr:
"I have been teaching martial arts for many years & have traveled the world to find the right teachers in the time. You really cannot miss the opportunity to study with the right teachers when you find them.
Having access to the years of knowledge that Maria holds and shares is a true gift!"

Annie M. Sprinkle, Ph.D. (born Ellen F. Steinberg July 23, 1954, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) was a prostitute, stripper, porn film star, cable television host, porn magazine editor and writer, and sex film producer. She received a BFA in photography from the School of Visual Arts in 1986. Currently, Sprinkle works as a performance artist and sex educator.

She is known as the "prostitute and porn star turned sex educator and artist." Her best known theater and performance art piece is her Public Cervix Announcement, in which she invites the audience to "celebrate the female body" by viewing her cervix with a speculum and flashlight. She also performed The Legend of the Ancient Sacred Prostitute, in which she did a sex magic masturbation ritual on stage. She has toured one-woman shows internationally for 17 years, some of which were are titled Post Porn Modernist, Annie Sprnkle's Herstory of Porn, Hardcore from the Heart, and, currently, Exposed; Experiments in Love, Sex, Death and Art.

The first porn star to earn a Ph.D., Sprinkle received her Ph.D. in Human Sexuality from the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality in San Francisco, California. Her work, spanning more than three decades, is studied at many Universities, in theater history, women's studies and film studies courses. She also is a faculty member at The New School of Erotic Touch.

Sprinkle's first porn movie was Teenage Covergirl, released in 1973. That same year she appeared in Teenage Deviate, which Sprinkle herself described as "a misogynistic, politically incorrect film that was the style at the time because we didn't know any better."

The film Deep Inside Annie Sprinkle was the #2 grossing porn film of 1982. Her stage name is derived from her love of swimming, and her abilities with urination, notably the ability to turn herself into a human fountain.

In 1991, Sprinkle created the Sluts and Goddesses workshop, which became the basis for her 1992 production The Sluts and Goddesses Video Workshop – Or How To Be A Sex Goddess in 101 Easy Steps which was co-produced and co-directed with videographer Maria Beatty and featuring music by composer Pauline Oliveros.

She later starred in Nick Zedd's experimental films War Is Menstrual Envy (1992), Ecstasy In Entropy (1999) and Electra Elf: The Beginning (2005).

She has appeared in over 200 films; XXX, X, B movies, loops, numerous documentaries, four HBO Real Sex programs, and produced, directed and starred in several of her own films, such as Annie Sprinkle's Herstory of Porn.

Sprinkle's work has always been about sexuality, with a political, spiritual and artistic bent. In December 2005, she committed to doing seven years of art projects about love with her domestic partner and art collaborator, Elizabeth Stephens. They call this their Love Art Laboratory. Their projects are all documented on their web site, Part of their project is to do an experimental art wedding each year, and each year has a different theme and color. The seven-year theme was adapted to their project by invitation of artist Linda M. Montano.
