With the rain pouring down it was a nice day for a white wedding with the New Swears!
Ottawa’s party boys all dressed in white garbage bags, started the show with Davey Quesnell (Pregnancy Scares/Steve Adamyk Band) dressed as a priest. He asked ”Audience will you take the New Swears as your band? News Swears will you take the audience as your fans? You may now kiss the band!”
Once the formalities were done it was time to get some beer, and they opened with ”See You in Hull,” which starts with ”didn’t make it to the beer store, so see you in Hull!” As they started rocking our faces off, inflatable animals and palm trees, confetti, silly string, rings, play money and more was launched into the crowd. Quite the spectacle!
The crowd was crowd surfing, moshing and all around rowdy the entire set. New Swears played with great energy and made a mess of everything. They separated the crowd for a wall of death, and then played the passive and slow jam ”Paradise.” They closed out the set with ”Rather be Dead” and then walked off away from the madness.
On day four I saw a lot of great acts at Saw Gallery. Teenanger from Toronto played before New Swears. Teenanger, have this sort of old school hardcore feel to them. The drummer was rocking a really nasty shiner on his right eye and the band played a great set. I really like the song ”Surveillance” and the anthemic ”Conflict of Interest.” The lead singer said ”it has been nice seeing so many friends at Explosion, it has been a Broverdose.” And I can’t not mention that they played ”Gnar” which is about amazonian psychedelic shrooms. They closed with the lead singer saying ”New swear up next, let’s get drunk!”
A band called Hollywood played in place of The Kidnappers from Hansburg, Germany. Hollywood was some great fun rock. The crowd loved the addition, as they were dancing and singing along. I really enjoyed the song ”Cold Ones.”
Sugar Stems, from Milwaukee, brought their very fun pop rock to Ottawa. Their light and upbeat music was a nice change of pace. I really liked the combination of voices, with female and male vocals who are very different from each other. I dug their new single ”Like I Do,” it is great and I recommend it.
I was lucky enough to see Chit Chat in at a private and intimate show at Vertigo Records the day before. They were excellent once again. The Ann Arbor rockers delivered a really rocking rendition of ”Will Never Know,” which is quickly becoming my favourite track of theirs along with ”Attitude.”
Ottawa’s very own Street Meat where not what I expected. Reading their name on the schedule I imagined a bunch of scruffy looking dudes, you know meat from the street. Instead it was two lovely ladies on vox, a drummer and an iPod. The whole set was dedicated the drummer’s daughter, who was front row and center and danced the the entire time. ”Sex Pose” and ”Lady Porn” did the trick for me. Check them out when they play around town, they are quite unique.
Thalidomy Kids, from Moncton, NB, capped off a three band run from New Brunswick. I truly enjoyed their opening song, ”Spirochaete.” Their dark punk sound was perfect for the gloomy rainy day we were having.
The psychedelic punk sounds of Astral Gunk shook up those who decided to come out early. The boys from Sackville, NB, were clad in Hawaiian shirts and shades. They played a great set that saw many instrument changes. The band just kept switching, bass player to guitar, guitarist to drummer, drummer to guitarist and vocals. Very cool and groovy band, I hope to see them play again.
Before Astral Gunk was Noise Hounds also from Sackville, as they are two of the members of Astral Gunk. This rocking duo of drums and guitar did a good job. They did not say much, but they did introduce their song ”Space Cadet” by saying ”This is our only song that matters, it is about falling in love with an alien.”
Ottawa’s one man punk explosion, ROBOTS!EVERYWHERE!, had the task of opening the day. Hung over like most of the crowd, Phil and his drum machine got the party started. He had a bunch of zombies, i mean fans, singing and dancing at 1 pm, no easy task. The sing-a-longs of ”I Miss my Best Friends” and ”Call Me Some, Looking for Some Time” were a lot of fun. He also changed the words in ”Taco Party” to ”Burrito Party” in honor of the delicious vegan goodies being sold at the back. The sweaty and always entertaining ROBOTS!EVERYWHERE! is worth checking out every chance you get Ottawa.
Something different about Saturday was that they had comedy between sets, hosted by local comedian Greg Houston. The comics tried hard but due to lack of crowd interest and sorry, but not being all that funny, where shown up by a first timer. Davey Quesnell (Pregnancy Scare/Steve Adamyk Band) mostly known for shredding on the guitar made his comedic debut. The funniest part was his excellent story about brother in law and Tim Commerford of Rage Against the Machine and now Black Sabbath. His brother’s nickname is Ozzie yet he had no idea who Black Sabbath was and simply drank beer and went golfing with Tim one time in the States. His brother still refers to the band as Black Tiger. Davey ended his stand up with some gospel for the crowd, ”The only scene that matters is the scene you are a part of.”
The dimly lit church was the perfect venue for Fresh Snow‘s experimental noise rock. With a psychedelic video screen overhead where the band was projected upon, Fresh Snow whipped the crowd in a trance. This night was full of trance inducing music, you know the kind that has you flying in the clouds, not some EDM stuff. Dressed all in white, with two members wearing red balaclavas, and the band not speaking a single word, they blasted through an incredible set. They took organized chaos to the next level, with some moments of sheer beauty when the violin and keys would team up over the boisterous jamming of the others. They reminded me a little of Explosions in the Sky.
Ottawa’s The Yips brought their dark and dancey rock to the party Friday night. Their set was jam packed with things to write about, from standing on the amps to a moshing bass player, and that is the mild stuff. During their awesome song, ”PGLM,” two members of the New Swears decided to pick up local photographer, Ming Wu, and crowd surfed him (I may have helped). If that was not enough, as they launched into a new song, ”Blood,” the lead singer stabbed plush kittens and spread the bloody felines all over the bass player and the drummer before taking a bite. With the blood all around her mouth the band launched into the gloomy ”Vicinage.” Great songs and a great performance by one of Ottawa’s finest.
I arrived at the church just in time to catch Del Bel from Toronto. This dark atmospheric rock band has a singer, a trumpet player, violinist for a few songs, guitarist, drummer and a bass player who also plays keys. They were the perfect band to set the stage for Fresh Snow. Half their set was new songs and they were excellent. As for their older songs, I really liked the live performance of ”Beltone.”
After all the bands were done, DJ Matty McGovern (Shameless/Visions) and DJ Pat Johnson (Night Moves, Silkken Laumann) took over for a Punk Rock Dance Party.
The Mandates played a great set at Vertigo Records in Ottawa June 21, while back in their home town of Calgary flood water raged through the streets
This private and intimate Friday afternoon show, for festival pass holders only, was a great start to my third day of Ottawa Explosion Weekend. There is something very special about seeing a show in a record store, the ambiance is just perfect.
The Mandates, played a mix of old and new songs at the front of the record store. I enjoyed ”Daggers Girl,” but I would have to say the highlights were the new songs ”Suspicion” and ”Have You Seen My Girl.”
Before The Mandates was Chit Chat from Detroit, Michigan. The band can really groove. Their set started with a wicked instrumental piece. My favourite songs was ”ATTITUDE,” off of their new 7”. Guitarist/Vocalist, Izzy Johnson, did not talk too much, but did say ”Canada is way cleaner than America.” Chit Chat play at 3 pm on Saturday at Club Saw, go check them out.
The only thing that might have been better than the music was the looks on people’s faces walking by and stopping to see what was going on.
No Prevenge (the scheduled headliner) no problem. Yellowteeth from Sackville, New Brunswick stepped in and played an excellent set for their second show of the day.
In the cobblestone courtyard of Mugshots, with empty beer cups hanging from a clothesline, Yellowteeth showed no sign of fatigue from playing earlier. A great energetic set where they took requests, made dedications and decided the set list on the fly. Their grungy punk rock was just what I needed at 1 am on a Thursday after a long day of concerts. They dedicated ”Santorini” to Emmanuel and they also played the very rocking ‘’Temporary Father’’ and ‘’Green Horn.’’ I also loved their cover of Ed Hall’s ‘’White House Girls.’’
Montreal Panic Attack took to the stage around 12:30 ready to roll. The pop punk trio played a really fun set. I would have to say my favourite song of the set was the emotional but loud ‘’ I Can Work It Out.’’ They closed with the excellent ‘’Who Read Holden Caulfield?’’ off their recent split with Jeffrey Lost Control.
The Decay from Guelph brought more of a skate punk style that reminded me of the music I loved so much in high school and have unfairly neglected. Thanks for the serving of some nostalgia gents. I look forward to seeing them again soon I hope.
Ottawa’s Camp Radio delivered a solid dose of pop punk and jump kicks. The three-piece played a good set highlighted by their songs ‘’Radio’’ and ‘’Reinventing the Laugh Track.’’
The other Ottawa band on the bill, Finderskeepers, was tasked with opening. I really like them, having seen them a few times now and it has always been a treat. They played my favourite song of theirs ‘Dearly Departed’’ as well as a new tune called ‘’Pack your bag’’
Well that was what I made it to on day 2. Now for Friday, where I am attending a private show at Vertigo Records, then a show headlined by Holy Cobras from Montréal and then The Yips, Most People and a Punk Rock Dance Party in a church. I LOVE THIS WEEKEND!
TV FREAKS broke through the static and kicked off Ottawa Explosion Weekend with a bang outside of Saw Galley on June 19th.
Fresh off rocking out at North by North East (NxNE) in Toronto, TV FREAKS were tight, noisy, energized and a force to be reckoned with. With members of Sam Coffey and the Iron Lungs standing in the front; dancing, singing along and crowd surfing the lead singer, TV FREAKS played an explosive set. They are a great mix of garage sound with hardcore intensity, and some pretty sick dance moves. They played some great tunes like “Spilt Milk’’ and “Mall Punk.’’ TV FREAKS were the perfect band to headline the first night of Ottawa Explosion Weekend, which saw an awesome crowd show up.
Montréal’s Bummer played before TV FREAKS and the trio really impressed me. The lead singer/guitarist was rocking out with his curly hair flying all over the place. Check out their tracks “Kids on the Run’’ and “Reminder,’’ they got me moving.
The ghost Elvis or Buddy Holly must have been next door at the jail hostel and possessed, Sam Coffey and the Iron Lungs. These old school rock n rollers with a dash of punk twist made me want to do the twist and shout. Three mics for six people, no problem, they just shared or in the case of the drummer and bass player, they just yelled out the words from a far. I loved there set and really liked the tracks “Lose that Bitch’’ and “What Have I Become.’’ To top it all off the keyboard player’s grandparents, great aunt, aunt and uncle showed up… most punk rock people in town.
The local portion of the evening was provided by Uranium Comeback and Black Tower. Uranium Comeback were introduced as a band who has only played 12 shows ok 6 years. Their set of upbeat punk was very fun and made me want to dance and tap my toes. Songs “Walking’’ and “Out of time’’ really stuck out for me. I hope they start doing more shows. Black Tower were a female lead metal and punk trio. I really got into the intros of a few of their songs, made me miss my long hair. Also missing his long hair was the drummer who half way through the set took off his huge black hair wig to reveal his bald head. Nothing wrong with a chrome dome brother, we save a bunch of money on haircuts and shampoo.
Emmanuel Sayer, one of the organizers, capped off the night by saying, “thanks for coming out everyone… we have five more days of this and it will only get worse.’’ His laughter was met with the crowd chanting “Let’s get worse! Let’s get worse!’’ I am sure there are a ton of great performances left among the 90+ bands yet to perform.
Day one is in the books. If you missed out on the fun, don’t let it happen again. Check out the festival schedule here.
It was a Danish post-punk take over at Babylon on June 17th, with a hint of Ottawa hardcore. Yes, Babylon had a moment of clarity and put on a rock show.
Iceage were rocking so hard that both the lead singer and the guitarist broke strings on their guitars within the first few songs. This may have been a blessing in disguise for the headliners, as the energy on stage picked up once the singer decide not to play guitar for the rest of the set. The band barely said a word to the crowd other than song names and a thank you here and there. It is always interesting seeing a band from foreign lands, as they often just rock through their set and walk off with very little crowd interaction. Maybe it is due to a language barrier, maybe that is just the style across the pond? Either way it leaves more room for music, so no complaint. I really enjoyed hearing their songs ”Coalition” and ”Everything Drifts” live.
Lower, the other band from Denmark played second. I loved how the singer often started calm and the emotion in his voice and his action got more and more aggressive until he exploded at the end of songs. Having never heard them before I really dug their stuff, specifically the songs “Pictures of Passion’’ and “Someone’s Got It in for Me.”
Opening the night was Ottawa’s noisy, energetic, in your face band Pregnancy Scares. They started their show with a distorted wall of noise, and the rage never slowed down. Lead singer, Craig Proulx, looks possessed with his eyes bulging out of his head and his mic wrapped around his neck as he sings. There was not a single moment of the set without sounds blaring out of the amps, and I would not want it any other way.
This show was the last pre-Ottawa Explosion Weekend show, so the stage is now set. Starting June 19th, over 100 bands will take over 10 different venues during a six day stretch. For more info check out their site, and don’t miss out on this sick DIY festival!
Lastly, shout out to Justin the sound man for playing some old school Ottawa jams by Three Penny Opera in between bands.
Attendance was low but the rhymes were hype as several Canadian Hip-Hop artists delivered at Ritual Nigthclub on June 13.
The headliner of the night was the Halifax rap legend, Jesse Dangerously. Unfortunately not many people attended the show and the numbers dwindle as the night went on, but it did not seem to faze Jesse. He rolled through a set chalked full of songs off his new record Humble & Brilliant, including “File ID.idz” and “Halifax Rap Legend.” Jesse did a wicked tribute to De La Soul with a remake of their hit “Ego Trippin (Part II).” After getting past the half way point of his set still wearing his shirt I was worried that I might be attending the first show in which he ever kept it on… he luckily saved me from that as he took off his shirt and jumped off stage to join us in the crowd. Closing out the night Jessie grabbed Textile from Homebased Crew and they tagged team a little freestyle for us. Look out America, Jesse Dangerously is on the verge of a fifty day USA tour so keep your ears and eyes open for that.
Atherton (Ottawa) began his set apologizing for not moving around very much because he split open his pinky toe. The man showed no sign of slowing down, heck he was unstoppable that night. He opened his set by digging into the vault playing songs from 2006, “Everything” and “Another Tough Monday.” The highlights for me was the song where he sampled The Verve Pipe’s ‘“Freshmen” and when he dropped “Kid On The Corner” with no beats. He finished out saying “Vote Atherton for mayo! Jim Watson I’m coming for ya. I’ll put an LRT from side to side, Orleans to Carp.” With that type of promise, he could really have a shot.
The show’s MC was Abstract Artform from Winnipeg, Manitoba and he got his set started in the crowd. With Relic spinning for him and Ambition backing up, he laid a bunch of new track on us. The most notable moment was at the beginning of the song “Hands Up” when he had the crowd put their hand in the air and open and close them, as directed by a recording. Also loved that he brought Relic out in front with him and asked the crowd for a word to inspire some freestyling. The first freestyle was about potatoes and the second about bar stools. Both were rather impressive.
Next up was the rest of the traveling acts Ambition (Halifax) and Relic (Toronto), with Abstract Artform as their hype man. Relic started as the DJ letting Ambition take the lead. Loved his piece “Anti Gravity” and the song with the chorus “Something to feel,” had a tight first verse with a ton of great basketball references. Halfway through their time Relic stepped out from behind the turn table and dropped the grooving song “Extra Mile.” My favourite line during their time was “Not white collar but we are suitable,” so slick.
Homebased Crew were the third act of the evening. Homebased are a rifle, the smooth precise delivery of Betavel, and a machine gun, the fast and in your face rapping of Textstyle. The duo are teamed up with the sweet stylings of DJ/producer Kane B. They promised to “rap in your face right now before the real act come on.” Another one of the local acts who held their own. Really liked their songs “We Lie” and “Weekend.”
No offense to the other acts, but Alex Silas was one of my highlights of the night and my new favourite hip-hop discovery. He has a buddy guitarist on stage with him which is very freaking cool and then he topped it off by playing some harmonica on his track “Delightfully Fucked Up.” The blues and punk inspired hip-hop was a lot of fun. He had very clever lyrics in his track “Hipster girl.” Check this local act out Ottawa.
Eddie Quotez, a Filipino representing Ottawa, kicked off the night. I really like his track where he sampled Ludacris. My favourite line from his set was “like a bad doctor, I’m losing patients.” He closed out his set with a very emotional piece providing a view into his tormented past.
Big Eyes, a female lead punk rock trio from Seattle, Washington played a really fun set Wednesday night at Pressed.
Lead singer and guitarist, Kate Eldridge, can really shred and has an awesome voice to boot. From the first song, “Losing Touch” to the end of the show, the band rarely stopped for anything but a drink of water. I had never heard them before, went mostly to send off Male Nurse, but was pleasantly surprised with how much I got into their up beat rocking tunes. My favourite song was “I Don’t Care About Friday Night,” an awesome tracks about my favourite day of the week (check it out below).
Before Big Eyes, was the Male Nurse Band. Many of you know Male Nurse as Davey Quesnelle, currently a member of Pregnancy Scares and Steve Adamyk Band (old schoolers might remember him from his days in Robot Kill City and Million Dollar Marxists). Safe to say Davey has been in the Ottawa scene a long time and this was his last show as Male Nurse. After a 9 year run as a solo artist it was time to call it and focus on his two other very good bands. They opened with “Building a Boat” and played a few other songs before Davey spoke up. “Here are more songs you’ll never hear again and you probably never heard before,” he said with a big grin. He constantly thanked the crowd for coming out. The high energy set was concluded with “No One’s Happy” with the band and then “Everything’s Amazing” as Davey picked along alone on his guitar and sang the last words ever by Male Nurse, ‘“Everything’s amazing, no one’s happy.”
Tropical Dripps and their distorted noisy surf punk styling got the evening off to a start. The Ottawa trio played some great tracks and some wicked jamming instrumentals. I really enjoyed their song “Sun Dripps,” just enough dance with the right amount of loud.
This was a pre-Ottawa Explosion show, and just got me itching for the festival to start on June 19th!
Liferuiner took over Club Saw Wednesday night and tore it up.
Fresh off the release of their kick ass new album, Future Revisionists, these Toronto rockers came to throwdown. Lead singer, Jonny O’Callaghan, spent the whole set in the in front of the stage at Club Saw, who needs a stage when you have a dance floor. They played some of my favourite songs ”You Look Better When Your Drunk” and ”Straight Edge.” They also rocked some sweet new tracks, including ”Dream Catching.” Johnny took a moment to address what he considers a big problem in the current scene right now.
”There is a trend in the punk, hardcore and metal scene right now and it is apathy. People think if you don’t care for anything you can disregard everything and that its not right. We are a band that stands for the importance of is social equality.” They then played ”Fissure,” a song where they stand up for gay rights. Check out the series ”Through the Eyes of” for more insight into what the band stands for. They closed their rager of a set with the beautiful ”1990.” It was pretty freaking cool to watch the lead singer of of Being As An Ocean, Joel Quartuccio, just tear up the pit for a few songs (a super nice guy, but don’t get in this mans way in the pit).
Before Liferuiner was Being As An Ocean. This sweet hardcore band from Alpine, California had the most epic moment of the night. The second song they played ”The Hardest Part is Forgetting Those You Swore You’d Never” where 3/4 of the crowd swarmed the singer to get as close to the mic and sing along. He was great to pass the mic around to as many different people as he could. And when the song brokedown, the place went nuts with bodies flying left and right. That set the stage for a show where the mic was in a fans face almost as much as it was the lead singer’s. They put an end to their show with the ever powerful ”Dear G-d.”
The other touring band was Prophets from Hamilton, who were awesome. This hardcore band is for sure one of my new favourites. With the lead singer in the crowd and the band blasting through the set, I am certainly not their only new fan from last night. They played ”Clockwise” which has the awesome lyric ”a chance lost is a chance you never took,” and finished with ”Headrush,” where he put the mic down and screamed the chorus out loud. It was a very cool sight.
The local acts that kicked off the evening were Infiltration and Obyrne. Infiltration had great energy and a song with sweet base solo. Obyrne have great enthusiasm and just need to tighten up a little, but both bands are doing well for such a young acts. I have to give Obyrne’s lead singer props for standing up to the people in the crowd laughing at the the kid dancing to them. Good on ya man.

It's becoming clear that there is only one sensible solution ahead of us as the Eurozone’s problems evolve: Germany and the other countries suited to a strong currency should leave. If they do, the European Central Bank (ECB) will be free to pursue the easy money policies recommended by Keynesians and monetarists alike. It's increasingly clear that Germany has no option but to behave like any creditor seeking to protect its interests – and do its best to defuse the growing resentment against her from the Eurozone’s debtors. If Germany is to abandon the euro, it has to do so as quickly and elegantly as possible. It must be able to demonstrate that it has no alternative and that it is the best solution for all parties involved. Germany’s politicians know this. For the moment they are frozen in a state of inaction, but there is a general election to concentrate their minds in about a year’s time - and Germany’s electorate is becoming acutely aware of the enormity of the task. It has become obvious to many people from all walks of life in Germany that the euro has done them no good, and, far from reaping benefits, they are actually less wealthy as a result of it.
Hitting the tape are leaked detailes obtained by Bloomberg detailing what the ESM will focus on as it is unleashed on the world. From Bloomberg: Europe’s permanent rescue fund will invest the core of its assets in AA or higher-rated debt issued by governments, central banks, euro-area agencies and international institutions, with the power to diversify into bank debt as it grows, its draft investment guidelines say, Bloomberg’s Brian Parkin, Rebecca Christie and James G. Neuger report. The ESM will keep at least 15% of its maximum lending volume, or EU75b out of an ultimate EU500b, in “assets of the highest creditworthiness” as per guidelines obtained by Bloomberg News. Does that mean all countries rated AA or below are ineligible? Because that pretty much invalidates Spain and Italy? Or is the draft going to be releaked with the AA revised to A, then to B then to CCC until finally the EURUSD sustains an upward move for at least 10 pips? But the funniest headline of all:
- ESM PLANS `PLAIN VANILLA' BORROWING STRATEGY TO LURE INVESTORS
Lure is truly such a great word here. After all nobody will ever get their money back.
Following closely on the heels of our recent (now must read) discussion of the potential illegality of Draghi's OMT, Reuters is reporting the somewhat stunning news that the ECB and Bundesbank are getting lawyers to check the legality of the new bond-buying program. Germany's Bild newspaper - via the now ubiquitous unnamed sources - said in-house lawyers were checking both what proportions the program would have to take on and how long it would have to last for it to breach EU treaties (that specifically ban direct financing of state deficits). While Draghi - full of bravado - likely said whatever he felt was necessary at the time to stop the inversion in the Spanish yield curve, it is becoming clearer that, as usual, the premature euphoria (in the complacent belief that central banks can solve every problem with a wave of the magic CTRL-P wand) was misplaced. Bild goes on to note that this matter could be referred to the European Court of Justice - and the ECB/Buba were preparing for such an event. Of course, since every other rumor in recent months, most of which have originated in credible media, has proven to be a lie, it is likely this is also merely leaked disinformation to push the German case, i.e. anti-Europe.
It is always amazing to observe how people become less risk averse after risk has markedly increased and more risk averse after it has markedly decreased. The stock market is held to be 'safe' after it has risen for many weeks or months, while it is considered 'risky' after it has declined. The bigger the rally, the safer the waters are deemed to be, and the opposite holds for declines. One term that is associated in peoples' minds with rising prices is 'certainty'. For some reason, rising prices are held to indicate a more 'certain' future, which one can look forward to with more 'confidence'. 'Uncertainty' by contrast is associated with downside volatility in stocks. In reality, the future is always uncertain. Most people seem to regard accidental participation in a bull market cycle with as a kind of guarantee of a bright future, when all that really happened is that they got temporarily lucky. Perma-bullish analysts like Laszlo Birinyi or Abby Joseph Cohen can be sure that they will be right 66% of the time by simply staying bullish no matter what happens. This utter disregard of the risk-reward equation can occasionally lead to costly experiences for their followers when the markets decline.
Never try to teach a pig to sing, advised Robert Heinlein. It wastes your time and it annoys the pig. Similarly, never try to convince a central banker that his policies are destructive. After five years of enduring crisis, market prices are no longer determined by the considered assessment of independent investors acting rationally (if indeed they ever were), but simply by expectations of further monetary stimulus. So far, those expectations have not been disappointed. The Fed, the ECB and lately even the BoJ have gone “all- in” in their fight to ensure that after a grotesque explosion in credit, insolvent governments and private sector banks will be defended to the very last taxpayer. Conventional wisdom is that such moves are justified during this period of economic slowdown, as everyone agrees that the market is ’deleveraging’. But as the consistently excellent Doug Noland points out, this idea of deleveraging (i.e. reduction of available credit) in the US is a myth.
In a system that depends on lies and the credulity of the citizenry, the greatest lie is that the Federal Reserve's "quantitative easing" bailouts of the banks somehow help our citizens and communities. To clarify this, ask yourself this question: what else could we have bought with the $29 trillion the Fed loaned or backstopped to the banks? If you enjoy quibbling about the total sum of Fed support, be my guest; the Levy Institute came up with $29 trillion after poring over all the data, while the Government Accountability Office’s (GAO) tally topped $16 trillion. That's 100% of the nation's GDP and roughly 100% of the $16 trillion national debt. While we're asking about opportunity costs, let's ask what else we could have bought with the $10 trillion that the Federal government has borrowed and blown in the past 11.7 years. The national debt was $5.727 trillion when G.W. Bush was sworn into office on January 20, 2001. It had risen to $10.626 trillion when President Obama was sworn into office in January, 2009. It is now $16.016 trillion, an increase of $5 trillion in less than four years in "debt held by the public" (i.e. the Chinese central bank, the Japanese central bank, the Federal Reserve, etc.)
Shortly after posting the latest "balance sheet" of the US consumer we received requests to show how this looks in a global context, in other words, what do the balance sheets of the global households outside of the US look like. We show what this look like below, courtesy of the Bank of Japan, which presents the distribution of household financial assets in context then (5 years ago) and now. It also shows why whereas to Joe Sixpack the level of the S&P is the most important, with 32% of total assets in stocks, in Japan and in Europe, the average person could not care less where the stock market is, with just 6.5% and 14.7% of assets held in equities. The US E-Trade baby: keeping the Ponzi dream alive.
Ray Dalio, founder and co-chief investment officer of Bridgewater Associates, L.P. and one of the most successful hedge fund managers of all time told Maria Bartiromo last week that he owns gold and that he sees no “sensible reason not to own gold”. The interview was part of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) Corporate Program's CEO Speaker Series, which provides a forum for leading global CEOs to share their priorities and insights before a high-level audience of wealthy and influential CFR members. The respected hedge fund manager suggested that a depression and not a recession was likely and warned of social unrest and the risk of radical politics as was seen with Hitler and the Nazis in the Depression of the 1930’s. Dalio spoke about how “gold is a currency” and when asked by Bartiromo “do you own gold?”, he smiled and said “Oh yeah, I do.” The admission elicited a laugh from the CFR audience. Dalio’s interview is important as it again indicates how slowly but surely gold is moving from a fringe asset of a few hard money advocates and risk averse individuals to a mainstream asset. Wealthier people and some of the wealthiest and most influential people in the world are slowly realising the importance of gold as financial insurance in an investment portfolio and as money. This will result in sizeable flows into the gold market in the coming months which should push prices above the inflation adjusted high of 1980 - $2,500/oz. The interview section where Dalio is asked about gold by an audience member begins in the 43rd minute and can be seen here.
Former ECB Chief Economist Says ECB Is In Panic, As Czech President Warns The End Of Democracy Is ImminentSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/22/2012 21:16 -0400
If anyone thought the bad blood between Germany and the rest of the insolvent proletariat, aka the part of the Eurozone which is out of money (most of it), and which has been now confirmed will be supporting Obama (one wonders what the quid for that particular quo is, although we are certain we will find out as soon as December), complete collapse of the Greek neo-vassal state of the globalist agenda notwithstanding, had gone away, here comes former ECB chief economist Juergen Stark to dispel such illusions. In an interview with Austrian Die Presse, the former banker said what everyone without a PhD understands quite well: "The break came in 2010. Until then everything went well..."Then the ECB began to take on a new role, to fall into panic.... Together with other central banks, the ECB is flooding the market, posing the question not only about how the ECB will get its money back, but also how the excess liquidity created can be absorbed globally. "It can't be solved by pressing a button. If the global economy stabilises, the potential for inflation has grown enormously... It gave in to outside pressure ... pressure from outside Europe" Why, whichever bank headquartered at 200 West, NY, NY might he be referring to?
According to Mario Draghi, OMT, or Outright Monetary Transactions, is a program of conditional bond buying targeted at specific countries to restore the perception of the euro's irreversibility and stability, and repair a broken monetary policy transmission mechanism. Once launched, OMT has no ex ante limits, it is within the ECB's price stability mandate, and it can be halted or interrupted based on achievement of its objectives or non-compliance with conditions imposed upon the targeted national government. We would posit that OMT is much more than what the party line states. Here are some alternative interpretations for your consideration. We challenge you to refute the logic of any of them.
Let’s review the tricks the central banks & governments have available to beat back any financial challenges presented by the debt reaper.
- Money tool # 1 = deficit spending. For years, the G7 countries have believed that spending more than you make, will create jobs and prosperity. To measure the success of this strategy, we invite you to hang out in Spain, Greece or Italy.
- Money tool # 2 = cut interest rates to 0%. All the really smart people in the World know that lower interest rates encourage people and companies to borrow more money and spend this money. To measure the success of this strategy, we invite you to hang out at the US Federal Reserve and help them count the $1.5 trillion in excess money held by the big banks.
- Money tool # 3 = when all else fails print money. Everyone knows by now the reason the Great Depression was great was because no one had the idea to print money to kick start the economy. To measure the success of this strategy, we definitely do not invite you to visit Japan. The Japanese have been printing money for over 10 years and that hasn’t shaken their economy from its funk one bit.
As we enter the always dangerous months of September and October, central bankers and governments just can’t get their heads around the fact that their cherished money tools are not shaking the World. Never one to quit, someone somewhere muttered “we must do something” – and something they did.
We believe an unsustainable new global financial architecture that arose in response to the US and European financial crises has replaced an older, more sustainable, architecture. The old architecture was crystallized in Washington- and IMF-inspired policy responses to the numerous sovereign defaults, banking system failures, and currency collapses. Most importantly, the previous architecture recognized limits on fiscal and central bank balance sheets. The new architecture attempts to 'back', perhaps unconsciously, the entire liability side of the global financial system. This framing is consistent with a purely political—institutional stylized—fact that it is nearly impossible to penetrate the US political parties if the message is that there are limits to their power…or that their power requires great effort and sacrifice. This is why Keynesians (at least US ones) who argue there are no limits to a fiscal balance sheet are so popular with Democrats, and why monetarists (at least US ones) who argue there are no limits to a central bank balance sheet are popular with (a decreasing number of) Republicans. Party on! Again, nobody chooses hard-currency regimes – they are forced on non-credible policymakers. Let me put it more positively. If politicians want the power of fiat money, let alone the global reserve currency, they need to behave differently than they have - or the consequences for Gold are extraordinary.
So after 2 hell of positive weeks with fairy dust sprinkled by the CBU (Central Banks United), things seem a little out of breath here.
Post-Central Bank intervention depression, so to speak, as the question on everyone’s mind is “What’s next?
Add to that soured geopolitics that stirred spirits in Asia, MENA and to some extend in regional Spain.
The single most often broached argument that Liberty Movement writers, analysts, and strategists are confronted with by skeptics alongside well meaning but cynical newcomers is the assertion that while we happen to be very effective at pointing out the dangers of globalism and centralization, we rarely seem to take the initiative to offer “solutions” to the problem. This same argument is also used by establishment shills as a way to distract the public’s attentions from the very real despotic enterprises of their elitist employers. In reality, the contention that the Liberty Movement offers no solutions is entirely false. We have constructed many. The problem is that these solutions are not the kind that the general American public wants to entertain. The bottom line is that there is little time left for top-down political fairytale dreams, and little utility left in standard street actions. The real solutions require blood, sweat, and tears, starting with a method I have discussed for quite some time: Decentralization.
One of the most astute financial analysts in the world, Jim Grant, founder of highly respected Grant's Interest Rate Observer, was asked by Maria Bartiromo on CNBC yesterday “how high can gold go”? Grant responded that "there is no telling."

Probably the easiest 12-bolt differentials to find are the type 2 units. These are found primarily in standard-performance Chevrolet passenger cars. Type 2 ratios were somewhere between 2.29:1 and 2.73:1.
How do you find the gear ratio on a 12 bolt?
Count the number of teeth on the pinion gear and count the number of teeth on the ring gear. Divide the ring gear teeth number by the number of teeth on the pinion. The result is your gear ratio.
What ring gear size is a GM 12 Bolt diff?
12-Bolts to Glory The GM 12-bolt debuted in 1965 and was mass-produced until 1972. It features an 8.875-inch ring-gear carrier held in place with two internal main caps. The pinion gearshaft measures 1.625 inches in diameter and is shimmed to achieve the proper pinion depth.
What’s better 10 bolt or 12 bolt rear end?
First, the 10-bolt’s pinion shaft diameter is 1.438 (25 splines) while the 12-bolt is 1.625 (30 splines) which makes the 12-bolt 13 percent larger in diameter and therefore stronger.
What does a 12 bolt rear end mean?
In actuality, the term 12-bolt is due to the 12 bolts holding the ring gear to the differential. The coil spring mounts and the mounts for the upper trailing arms on the differential identify this as a Chevelle or Monte Carlo rearend, not one from a full-size car like an Impala.
What size is a GM 12 bolt rear end?
The GM 8.875-inch, 12-bolt positraction came in many 1965 to ’72 passenger cars. The pinion shaft on passenger cars’ differentials was 1.625 inches in diameter, and the cover was oval, measuring 10.9375 inches wide by 10.625 inches tall.
How many teeth does 4.10 gears have?
Example: 4.09 / 4.10 / 4.11 Gear Ratios
|Axle||Ring Gear Teeth||Final Ratio|
|GM 10.5″ 14 Bolt||45||4.09|
How do I know my diff ratio?
Rotate the marked tire one revolution while counting how many times the driveshaft rotates. eg, If your driveshaft made 3 3/4 revolutions, that would determine a 3.73 gear ratio. If you get approximately 2 3/4 revolutions, you have a 2.76 gear ratio.
How do I choose the right gear ratio?
The conventional procedure for selecting gear ratios is to pick ratios that run the engine rpm to redline at the end of the medium and longest straights, and pick the lower gear ratios to minimize the rev drop at each shift. This method minimizes the number of shifts per lap.
How many quarts is a 12 gauge bolt?
Registered. A 12 bolt should only take around 3 quarts until it comes out the fill hole.
What is the difference between a car and truck 12 bolt rear end?
They are two different rear ends, and the car is better in nearly every way. If I am not mistaken the 8.5 10 bolt is stronger in more ways too then the truck 12 bolt. The only things that make’s the 8.5″ &
the Car 12-bolt stronger is the larger pinion stem diameter &
only seen one break.
Did Pontiac make a 12 bolt rear end?
Although Buick, Pontiac and pre-’67 Oldsmobiles used the same basic 8.2-inch 10-bolt differential (1967-’70 Oldsmobiles used the Olds-specific 12-bolt 8.5-inch differential), these are different from the Chevrolet 8.2 10-bolt offerings.
Is posi traction the same as limited slip?
Despite the fact that a lot of folks confuse the terms “posi” or “Positraction” with “limited slip,” the fact is that the two are basically one and the same. Today, all positive traction systems are referred to as limited slip systems.
How much horsepower can a 8.2 10 bolt handle?
Roughly 550 to 600 HP total. No slicks, drag radials. No problems with the 8.2 at all. I used the stock diff., the Auburn would be better.
How do I know my Chevy ring gear size?
The ring gear diameter is measured across the face of the gear. To obtain the ring gear diameter, simply place a tape measurer across the gear. This can be tricky if the ring gear &
carrier are still in the housing. In some cases, a differential can be identified by the number of cover bolts is has.
What is the strongest rear end?
Dana 60 Rear End Assemblies
If you want a big brute of a rear end under your car, look no further than a Dana 60. Even in the heyday of muscle cars, Dana 60 rear differentials were renowned for their strength, along with their difficulty to locate.
What size is a #12 bolt?
The number “12” is used as a size designator with no numerical meaning. “24” references the 24 threads per inch. You can identify a 12-24 screw by measuring the diameter with a ruler at slightly less than 7/32 inches (5.6mm).
How do you find the gear ratio on a Chevy Silverado?
Identify your GMC or Chevrolet rear end gear ratio by the RPO Codes, usually located on the placard labeled “Service Parts Identification” inside the drivers door panel or glove box.
What rear end came in a 57 Chevy?
Automatic 57 cars (both 6 and V8) came with 14inch tires and 3:36 rear gears. Stick shift 57 cars came with 14 inch tires and 3:55 gears.
How many teeth does 3.55 gears have?
|Model||Motive Gear D35-355 Rack and Pinion, 39-11 Teeth, 3.55 Ratio|
|Item Weight||11.44 pounds|
|Product Dimensions||15.5 x 11 x 5.25 inches|
Are 3.73 or 4.10 gears better?
4.10 is the typical gear ratio for a high-performance vehicle like a sports car or SUV because it provides better acceleration than 3.73 because of the faster second and third gears, which provide more torque at lower speeds to accelerate from a stop.
Are 4.10 and 4.11 gears the same?
4.10 will have 41/10 teeth so more, but smaller for the same diameter ring. 4.11 will have 37/9 teeth which will be larger. The 4.10 is a stronger pinion.
What is the best gear ratio for torque?
indeed Does gear ratio affect horsepower? A higher numeric axle ratio (4.11:1) keeps the engine running in the higher horsepower range, thus improving performance.Are 3.73 or 4.10 gears better?
|3.73 Ratio||4.10 Ratio|
|Lower Torque||Higher Torque|
|Better Gas Mileage||Decreased Gas Mileage|
|Higher Top Speed||Lower Top Speed|
What gear ratio do I have f150?
Write down the number in the lower left-hand corner of the tag. It will look like “3.23” or “3.50.” This is the gear ratio.
How do I know my rear gear ratio?
Turn the wheel TWO revolutions and count the number of driveshaft turns. The number of driveshaft rotations will help you determine your rear axle ratio. For example, if it turned 3 and a half times, it’s a 3.50:1 ratio. If it turned 4 and a quarter times, it’s a 4.25:1 ratio.
What are 3.55 gears good for?
PERFORMANCE: The larger the axle ratio number, the quicker the truck will accelerate. For example, a truck equipped with 3.55:1 axle gearing will accelerate faster than one equipped with a 3.31 axle ratio.
Which gear ratio is faster?
A lower (taller) gear ratio provides a higher top speed, and a higher (shorter) gear ratio provides faster acceleration. . Besides the gears in the transmission, there is also a gear in the rear differential. This is known as the final drive, differential gear, Crown Wheel Pinion (CWP) or ring and pinion.
What is the best gear ratio for crankbaits?
Low gear ratio reel | 5.1:1 thru 5.4:1
A lower fishing gear ratio reel is ideal for big baits that pull a lot, such as deep crankbaits. These reels have the highest amount of torque, allowing you to put less effort into retrieving the bait and more energy towards finding the fish.

LTD / ERISA Disability Lawyers Orange, Riverside & San Bernardino Counties
Credibility of Litigant / Patient
A Claimant's Credibility is Always Important
A claimant's credibility is always important and increasingly important when the disabling complaint is subjective and self-reported, such as pain, weakness, fatigue, or headache. Although self-reported symptoms are sometimes amenable to verification by laboratory or other diagnostic testing, that is not always the case. Moreover, there are some conditions such as fibromyalgia (FM) or chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) whose symptoms may be completely disabling even when laboratory tests and x-rays are all normal.
In such situations, the decision to grant or withhold disability benefits may turn in large measure on a claimant's credibility.
A “Clearly Demonstrable Impairment”
Disability claims typically have difficulty gaining traction if they are based solely on self-reported symptoms alone, no matter how credible they may be. What is additionally required is medical documentation of a “clinically demonstrable impairment” that normally produces the kind of symptoms complained of by the claimant.
For example, if a doctor or several doctors credibly document in the medical records that a claimant has severe and chronic pain consistent with a diagnosis of fibromyalgia (FM), which precludes work, that may constitute a “clearly demonstrable impairment,” even if laboratory tests, x-rays, imaging studies, and other diagnostic testing is normal.
When such an “impairment” is combined with credible documentation in the medical records from treating doctors of functional restrictions (e.g., unable to do even a desk job because of severe pain), that should then result in a favorable benefits-decision. Cotton v. Bowen, 799 F.2d 1403, 1407-1408 (9th Cir. 1986) (“... so long as the pain is associated with a clinically demonstrable impairment, credible pain testimony should contribute to a determination of disability.”)
Of course, it is much easier to establish the presence of a “clearly demonstrable impairment” when there is objective evidence on an MRI scan of a herniated lumbar disc giving rise to back pain and sciatica. While credibility is still important to a successful benefits-decision under such circumstances, credibility assumes even a more decisive role when there are no objective findings and it's only the “word” of a claimant and his/her treating doctors.
Factors That Help Establish Credibility
When evaluating a claimant's credibility, the Social Security Administration (SSA) as reference lists seven factors that adjudicators should consider in making a credibility finding. Treating doctors, for that reason, should take care to document these seven factors in a claimant's medical records, because adjudicators will be looking for them.
1) Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) and how the complained of symptoms (e.g., pain) affect a claimant's ability to perform them.
2) The location, duration, frequency and intensity of claimant's symptoms.
3) Factors that aggravate or precipitate the symptoms.
4) The type, dosage, effectiveness, and side effects of any medications a claimant takes to alleviate the symptoms.
5) Treatment, other than medications, that a claimant has received for the relief of symptoms.
6) Any measures other than treatment the claimant uses to alleviate symptoms and
7) Any other factors concerning the claimant's functional limitations or restrictions due to the symptoms.
Consistency in the Medical Records Helps Establish Credibility
Of considerable importance in credibility determinations is the consistency of the medical records. If there are significant inconsistencies, such as prior statements, physical examination findings, laboratory and radiographic findings, or opinions from medical providers that conflict with findings from other medical providers, this may decrease the credibility of a claimant's claim for benefits, unless a reasonable explanation may be found as to why these inconsistencies exist.
Consistency and the absence of conflict among numerous treatment providers in the medical records enhances credibility.
Doctors, lawyers, judges, and insurers are used to evaluating claimants and their medical records. They do it all the time, and they know exaggeration when they see it. Therefore, it is important that a claimant, and a doctor on behalf of a claimant, never exaggerates a claimant's symptoms or functional impairment.
Exaggeration undermines credibility.
When an ERISA Insurer Performs a “Paper Review” of the Medical Records
The credibility of a claimant seeking LTD benefits arises when an ERISA insurer denies a claim for benefits after performing only a “paper review” of a claimant's medical records, without having its doctor examine the claimant. A “paper review” is, in fact, what ERISA insurers typically do in evaluating disability claims, rather than an independent medical examination (IME).
While an ERISA insurer is not required to perform an IME, an insurer that chooses to perform only a “paper” review of the medical records may arguably be at a disadvantage in evaluating a claimant's subjective symptoms (such as pain) or assessing a claimant's credibility in reporting those symptoms, when it denies a claim for benefits and disputes the findings of physicians who actually examined the claimant and evaluated the claimant's credibility.
Under such circumstances, an insurer who avoids an IME must suffer the consequences, because an evaluation of subjective complaints (e.g., pain) and a claimant's credibility in reporting those complaints are best evaluated by an in-person examination rather than by a “paper review” of the medical records. Salomaa v. Honda Long Term Disability Plan, 637 F. 3d 674-675 (9th Cir. 2011).
Courts have held that some complaints, such as pain, can be completely disabling but cannot be quantified or corroborated objectively, because they are, by their nature, subjective. Bunnell v. Sullivan, 947 F.2d 341 (9th Cir. 1991). (“pain is a highly idiosyncratic phenomenon, varying according to the pain threshold and stamina of the individual victim.”) Therefore, it is improper to disregard the disabling effects of pain on a rationale that “the subjective complaints were disproportionate to the medical evidence.” Cotton, at 1408. An insurer “should not reject subjective claims of excess pain based solely on a paper review's observation that a physical impairment should not cause the claimant as much pain as he was reportedly suffering.” Montour v. Hartford Life & Acc. Ins. Co., 588 F.3d 623, 634-635 (9th Cir. 2009).
Accordingly, it may be Improper for an insurer to deny benefits for subjective complaints on the basis that a claimant's laboratory tests or x-rays do not match a claimant's self-report of pain, when the insurer never performed an IME. To wit: “The mild to moderate findings noted on examinations and diagnostic testing/imaging do not support ongoing impairment that would preclude work,” or that “the insured's reported level of pain is above that expected with the radiographic changes described.”
An insurer who denies a claim for LTD benefits by concluding that the claimant complained of “excess pain” that was not supported by objective laboratory or radiographic evidence, implicitly rejects a claimant's credibility in reporting that pain and its debilitating functional effects. In that event, an insurer may be required to explain why it found a claimant's credibility to be lacking. Demer v. IBM Corp. LTD Plan, 835 F.3d 893 (9th Cir. 2016) (“... MetLife ... was implicitly rejecting Mr. Demer's credibility based solely on a paper review ... and without explaining why Mr. Demer's credibility was lacking ...”)

Incident & Biographic Details
Patrolman James Cooley, Star #792, aged 47 years, was a 19 year, 3 month, 12 day veteran of the Chicago Police Department, assigned to District 2 – Pekin Inn.
On January 23, 1927, at 10:30 p.m., Officer Cooley was approached by two robbery victims, Dr. Paul M. Anderson and James L. Kotrich. Anderson and Kotrich asked the officer if he could help them locate the offender. Officer Cooley agreed and they began touring the area. Not long after, the victims pointed out the robber, Thomas Pemberton, on the street in front of 2916 South Prairie Avenue. Officer Cooley immediately approached to make the arrest and commanded Pemberton to halt. Officer Cooley, with weapon drawn, pressed his revolver to Pemberton’s back and announced he was under arrest. Before Cooley could say another word, Pemberton quickly turned around with a drawn gun and fired upon Cooley. Cooley was struck in the head at close range, mortally wounded. Pemberton then fled the scene making good his escape.
Mr.’s Anderson and Kotrich quickly loaded Officer Cooley into their car and rushed him to the Hospital. However, the seriousness of Cooley’s injury was not immediately evident and may have been aggravated by the length of time it took to get him to the hospital. Unfortunately, Mr. Anderson, who was driving the car, drove recklessly ignoring traffic lights and was involved in a crash at Monroe Street and Michigan Avenue. He collided with another vehicle injuring Mr. Kotrich in the process. After learning of what had transpired, responding officers then rushed Officer Cooley to St. Luke Hospital. He lingered there for just over two months before succumbing to his injuries on April 4, 1927.
After the crash Mr. Anderson was arrested and taken to the Cottage Grove Avenue station where he was questioned. Anderson stated that he had been trying to take Officer Cooley to Iroquois Memorial Hospital because it was the only one that came to mind. Anderson’s actions caused an hour to pass before Officer Cooley was taken to the hospital.
Pemberton was apprehended only a few hours after the shooting. On January 24, 1927, Pemberton was booked for robbery and assault to murder. On April 4, 1927, his charges were amended to include murder. He was then held by the Coroner. On October 21, 1927, Pemberton was acquitted by Judge McGoorty.
Officer Cooley was waked at his residence located at 7712 South Park Avenue. His funeral mass was held at St. Dorothy Church located at 450 East 78th Street. He was laid to rest on April 7, 1927 in Holy Sepulchre Cemetery, 6001 West 111th Street, Alsip, Illinois. His grave is located in Grave 2, Lot S6, Block 8, Section 1.
Patrolman James Cooley, born May 12, 1879, received his Probationary Appointment to the Chicago Police Department on December 23, 1907. He earned 1 Credible Mention during his career.
Officer Cooley was a member of the Chicago Policemen’s Benevolent & Welfare Association. He was survived by his wife, Josephine (nee Hunt); children: Anne, James, LaVerne, Lucille, James Raymond and John and siblings: Lucy, Mary and Mrs. F. McMahon. He was preceded in death by his sister, M. Gonsolva.

Constitution Week starts Saturday
Daughters of the American Revolution to celebrate American document
Craig — The U.S. Constitution turns 229 years old on Saturday.
Bells will ring for 15 minutes beginning at noon on Saturday, marking the start of Constitution Week that runs until Sept. 23 and is an annual commemoration of the signing of the document that upholds and protects the freedoms central to the American way of life.
The local of Augusta Wallihan of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution members will celebrate by standing at the intersection of Victory Way and Yampa Avenue, ringing bells. Area church bells will also sound as a way to remember the sacrifices made for our freedoms.
The society members are women 18 and older are descended from patriots who helped secure American independence, and in 1955 they successfully petitioned congress to designate a week to celebrate the constitution.
According to the society website the aims of the Constitution Week are to:
• Draw attention to every citizens’ responsibilities to protect and defend the constitution.
• Inform people that the constitution is the basis for America’s great heritage and the foundation for our way of life.
• Encourage the study of the historical events that led to the framing of the Constitution in September 1787.
There are many myths about what is and what is not contained within the constitution, for example the only reference to God is in the date nor does it say “this is a free country.”
According to the Daughters of the American Revolution, Constitution Week is a great time to learn more about this important document and celebrate the freedoms it gives us.
Festivities throughout the week will include:
• Flyers and displays that will be exhibited at government buildings, schools, public libraries, the Centennial Mall and various businesses.
• Educational resource material and special programs offered to Moffat County elementary schools and the Boys and Girls Clubs in Craig and Steamboat Springs.
• Proclamations are being issued by the cities of Craig and Steamboat Springs, Moffat and Routt counties, and Moffat County schools.
• Members of the local, Augusta Wallihan chapter, will wear colonial costumes to many of the events.
The society encourages the community to join them in celebrating by waving flags and ringing bells on Saturday and to learn more about throughout Constitution Week. For more information, or to let the group know that you participated in bell ringing, call 970-620-6521.

CHEVY SUBURBAN, MEET THE CHRYSLER SUBURB
DaimlerChrysler plans to start selling a four-wheel-drive vehicle that will
make the largest family vehicles now on the road seem tiny -- nay, minute --
in comparison. The vehicle, dubbed the Unimog, will be 20 feet long and 9 feet
7 inches tall; the front seat is reached by a three-step ladder. It is almost
three feet taller than the tallest SUV, and a foot longer then the Ford Excursion.
It weighs over six tons, more than the weight of two Chevrolet Suburbans. The
Unimog gets about 10 miles to the gallon on diesel fuel, worse than any SUV.
In contrast, the Honda Insight, a gas-electric hybrid car, is 12 feet 11 inches
long and 4 feet 5 inches tall; it gets about 65 miles to the gallon on gasoline.

Daimler to Offer a Monster S.U.V.
By KEITH BRADSHER
DETROIT, Feb. 20 * With sport utility vehicles
becoming bigger and bigger, perhaps it was inevitable: Freightliner, the nation's
biggest maker of 18-wheelers, plans to start selling a four-wheel-drive vehicle
that dwarfs even the largest family vehicles on the road.
Based on a German military transport, the vehicle, called the Unimog, makes even the Hummer look petite. It is 9 feet 7 inches tall, nearly the height of a basketball net and almost three feet taller than the tallest
sport utility. Its front seat, mounted six feet high, is reached by a three-step ladder.
The Unimog is 20 feet long, more than a foot longer than the Ford Excursion, the longest sport utility on the market now. And it is nearly two feet wider than a typical car and 3.5 inches wider than even a Hummer, a
General Motors vehicle based on an American military transport. The Unimog is so wide that, by federal regulation, it must carry truck marker lights across the top of the front and back.
Most remarkable is the Unimog's weight: 12,500 pounds. That is more than two Chevrolet Suburban sport utility vehicles or four Toyota Camry sedans. The company says the vehicle gets about 10 miles to the gallon of diesel fuel, less even than the most fuel-hungry sport utility vehicles and pickups.
"You don't need roads," says the
cover of the Unimog sales brochure,
"when you can make your own."
The vehicle will sell for a base price of $84,000.
Freightliner will start taking orders for the Unimog in October, with manufacturing
to begin in January, said Bruce Barnes, the Unimog marketing manager at Freightliner,
which is owned by DaimlerChrysler A.G. Freightliner will sell the Unimog mainly
in suburban markets, regardless of region.
The company's initial sales goals are modest. Freightliner hopes to sell 1,000 a year at first, with just 250 going to individuals * affluent off-road enthusiasts and people who simply like to drive noticeable vehicles. "Even in Scottsdale, Ariz.," Mr. Barnes said, "moms will want to take it to the grocery store. It's a head-turning vehicle."
The rest will go to fire departments and businesses that plan to adapt them for civic and commercial use. But if the vehicle is a success, production can be increased, Mr. Barnes said.
Ford tried to allay initial public concerns about the Excursion's size three years ago by saying that it was mainly for businesses. But it has since built mostly luxury versions, selling them to prosperous families.
The introduction of the German- built Unimog marks an international escalation of the American highway arms race. A year ago, General Motors acquired the rights to the Hummer, a civilian version of the military's Humvee. G.M. said last summer that it would set up its first new division since Saturn to design and market Hummers of various dimensions and prices, with the goal of increasing sales to as many as 150,000 a year from 1,000 then.
Mr. Barnes said Freightliner did not plan to sell anywhere near that many Unimogs, because the company wants to establish a reputation for off-road performance that might suffer if smaller, less expensive models were introduced.
Freightliner describes the Unimog as an off-road vehicle, but it is not a true sport utility. The $84,000 base version of the vehicle will somewhat resemble a pickup truck with enormous front and side windows to help drivers see the traffic below.
Excerpted from an article by Keith Bradsher on the front page of the 8/6/00 New York Times:
The Hummer, a type of super-Jeep that was originally a military transport vehicle called the Humvee, is now being manufactured and marketed by General Motors. GM is trying to appeal to customers looking for larger and more aggressive-looking sports utility vehicles.
Although GM plans to introduce at least two smaller models of the Hummer, its current Hummer is taller, much wider and a full ton heavier than even GM's largest sport utility vehicle, the Suburban. The Hummer, which seats only four, weighs as much as three small cars. Retailing at $93,000, the Hummer gets gas mileage of 13 miles per gallon in the city and 15 on the highway.
Hummers emit far more air pollutants than cars. Current federal rules allow large sport utility vehicles to emit 5.5 times the smog-causing nitrogen oxides that cars do. While Ford has improved its sport utilities and pickups so they pollute no more than cars, GM does not plan to reduce air pollution from its Hummers and its other large sport utility vehicles until required to do so by federal regulations in 2004.

It's a question we often get. "Aren’t wild salmon endangered?"
Contrary to a common misapprehension, wild salmon from Alaskaare an abundant, sustainably harvested natural resource. Visitors to the Sustainability Page of our Web site may have noticed the blue oval logo of Britain’s Marine Stewardship Council (Or possibly you’ve noticed it on our Alaska salmon products).
Alaska salmon was the first U.S. fishery to be certified sustainable by the Marine Stewardship Council environmental Standard. (Certification by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) is a long, rigorous process, and few fisheries can bear the scrutiny it entails.)
The wild Alaskan salmon fishery won MSC certification thanks to the region’s pristine environment and the prudence of Alaska’s salmon fisheries’ managers, who have seen and learned from the disastrous effects of over-harvesting in so many other parts of the world.
The Council employs three principles when examining a fishery’s worthiness for certification:
- A fishery must be conducted in a manner that does not lead to over-fishing or depletion of the exploited populations and, for those populations that are depleted, the fishery must be conducted in a manner that demonstrably leads to their recovery.
- Fishing operations should allow for the maintenance of the structure, productivity, function and diversity of the ecosystem (including habitat and associated dependent and ecologically related species) on which the fishery depends.
- The fishery is subject to an effective management system that respects local, national and international laws and standards and incorporates institutional and operational frameworks that require use of the resource to be responsible and sustainable.
In addition to certifying that the wild Alaskan salmon fishery is sustainable, MSC also certifies specific Alaskan salmon wholesalers. I’m pleased to report that our primary suppliers have all earned the MSC seal of approval, which entails inspection of their entire operation and requires a transparent “chain of custody.”
It’s a tribute to the key players in the Alaskan salmon fishery—fishermen, processors, and regulators—that they all chose to help in achieving this rare distinction. So do your part to preserve our ocean’s bounty and look for the MSC logo next time you go shopping for fish.
Support the Marine Stewardship Council
The MSC is a vital player in efforts to preserve the ocean’s bounty, which is so important to feeding people and preserving the marine ecology. While the MSC earns fees for its certification program, it is not enough to keep this critical organization going. The MSC’s “Sea into the Future” fundraising campaign seeks to raise at least $20 million to support its programs to 2007, and put the MSC on a secure financial footing over the long term.
We urge you to visit the MSC site to contribute, purchase a great-looking MSC apron (proceeds go to MSC), or click from MSC to Amazon.com.uk to purchase products, in which case 10 to 15 percent of your purchase will go to MSC.


Product review for Unnatural Harvest: How Genetic Engineering is Altering Our Food
Do you know what you're eating? Do you know what you're feeding your children? Chances are, the last time you visited the grocery store, you unwittingly purchased foodstuffs that have been genetically altered. That means you've become part of a grand, yet alarming experiment on food and humans, being carried out on a global scale by powerful biotech companies. And no one, including the scientists and the governments who are giving them the go-ahead, knows the long-term effects of genetically modified foods.
In Unnatural Harvest, Ingeborg Boyens presents the startling implications of a new technology that is quietly revolutionizing the production of food — our most basic component of life — exposing the serious consequences this science poses for the biodiversity of our planet, for animal welfare, and for the health of ourselves and our children.


A Field Study of Changing Groundwater Levels in South Jeddah, Saudi ArabiaJournal: International Research Journal of Advanced Engineering and Science (IRJAES) (Vol.3, No. 2)
Publication Date: 2018-05-13
Authors : Waleed Gaid Tariq Cheema;
Page : 35-39
Keywords : Groundwater; water table; recharge; sewage water;
The problem of changing groundwater levels in Jeddah had been a subject of several studies in the past. However, conflicting results in the annual groundwater rise still persists. Also, there is not one recharge mechanism responsible for the rising water table for the entire city and it is still to be determined which mechanism is responsible for which part of Jeddah so that an effective remedial measure could be selected appropriately. This field study focuses upon the groundwater level data obtained from 44 water wells located in South Jeddah. The analysis of groundwater levels reveals that although no significant change in the water levels has been observed in South Jeddah, a complex pattern of rise and fall in water levels does exist in several parts of the study area. The rise in water level is primarily associated with the exfiltration from cesspools in the areas where no drainage system exists. Overall, there is some sort of equilibrium established between the recharge and discharge mechanisms in South Jeddah.

This review is from: 777 And Other Qabalistic Writings Of Aleister Crowley, Including Gemetria & Sepher Sephiroth (Paperback)
A book of such magnitude definitely belongs to the shell of all serious student of Magick, it is the Great grandfather of other books concerning gematria . This book is definitely worth any penny in your pocket.Do yourself a favour, buy it! Aleister Crowley's work may be strange and crytic, but trust me, this is one of those works where a good understanding of the Art Magick and English will suffice.

- Vodafone idea (Vi) could soon roll out its 5G network in India.
- The telecom geared up with global leaders like Nokia and Ericsson for equipment required in its 5G rollout.
- A 91mobiles’ team member received a message from Vi that Vi 5G will soon be available in Delhi-NCR.
Days after Airtel revealed its plan to roll out its 5G network in August, Vi started informing users in Delhi about its 5G service’s availability. Today morning, a 91mobiles’ team member witnessed a message from Vi that said: “Good News!! Vi network is being upgraded to 5G ! Your network experience will now be superior, soon you will experience better coverage and superfast Internet service in Delhi-NCR with our Vi network.”
Not so long ago, the telecom partnered with global leaders like Nokia and Ericsson for equipment required in its 5G rollout. The company conducted multiple trials in different locations and came out with a top speed of 5.92Gbps in Pune using Ericsson’s latest software.
Vi 5G network in Delhi soon?
After the 5G auction in India ended, the services were said to launch this month and will be available to use by October. Word on the Internet is PM Narendra Modi might announce the 5G services in India at the Indian Mobile Congress 2022, held on September 29th.
While the text does not give a precise date of when to expect the 5G service in Delhi, it is expected to launch soon and roll out could start by October 2022. Apart from Delhi, the 5G rollout is stated to happen in 2022, beginning in 12 other cities: Bengaluru, Chandigarh, Gandhinagar, Ahmedabad, Gurugram, Mumbai, Pune Hyderabad, Chennai, Jamnagar, Kolkata, and Lucknow.
For those concerned, you don’t need to upgrade to a 5G SIM to enjoy the fast speed, as long as telecom uses NSA 5G technology. However, you’ll need a 5G compatible device to take advantage of the fifth-generation network.

A recalibrated version of a widely used test for autism may accurately reflect autistic children’s development as they grow and become verbal, according to a new study1. The revised test identifies worsening autism traits in a subgroup of children who would not otherwise have been flagged for the condition.
The Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) is one of the standard tests for autism. A clinician administers the play-based assessment in a natural setting over about an hour. The test has different parts for young children of different ages and skill levels: Toddler Module for young, nonverbal toddlers, Module 1 for minimally verbal children over 30 months of age and Module 2 for children who speak phrases.
But ADOS scores are not consistent across these modules because of, for example, the natural development of language. This mismatch may prevent doctors from accurately tracking children over time and cause them to miss opportunities for intervention, says So Hyun Kim, clinical psychologist at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York.
Instead of using the raw ADOS scores, Kim’s team used a statistically calibrated version called Calibrated Severity Scores (CSS). This scale measures autism severity independent of characteristics that change over time, such as language and cognition; it provides standard scores from 1 to 10 for core autism features at each age and language level.
“When comparing children from one time point to another point, we are more sure the changes are not driven by changes in aging or language, but by the underlying autism,” Kim says. “It can allow more valid comparisons across modules.”
Kim and her colleagues used the CSS in 149 toddlers (119 boys) who had been referred to a clinic for possible autism diagnosis. They tested each participant an average of five times between the ages of 14 and 36 months and assigned them to one of four trajectories: non-spectrum (25 percent); moderately improving (25 percent); worsening (27 percent); and severe-persistent (23 percent).
Children in the ‘worsening’ group tend to start out with a relatively high intelligence quotient (IQ) score and above-average verbal and cognitive skills. Although verbally proficient, these children often develop worsening repetitive behaviors, as well as stereotyped behavior and speech — a trajectory Kim calls “late onset.” This decline is not apparent in these children’s raw ADOS scores, however, so the ADOS would not flag them for behavioral intervention. Clinicians using the ADOS also may miss changes in autistic children who have strong language skills and a high IQ because their autism traits appear mild.
In the ‘moderately improving’ group, CSS scores revealed that social-communication skills improve, but repetitive behaviors remain stable over time, indicating that these traits, too, manifest differently in the subgroups. The results appeared in September in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.
The results present opportunities for clinical intervention, says Marjorie Solomon, professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the University of California, Davis MIND Institute, who was not involved in the work.
“Using statistical techniques for trajectory analysis may help us not only to define more etiologically similar subgroups, but to better tailor treatments to those groups and to better advise families on prognosis for their children,” she says.
The researchers saw considerable individual variation within the subgroups because of the toddlers’ disparate treatments and varying ages at first examination. However, overall, the subgroups track with observations in the clinic, other experts say.
“Children with the mildest and those with the most severe symptoms at initial referral often remain at either end of that continuum, whereas there seems to be more variability among children with more intermediate levels of symptoms,” says Lonnie Zwaigenbaum, director of autism research at the University of Alberta in Canada.
The researchers plan to use CSS scores to examine the effects of interventions, says co-lead investigator Catherine Lord, distinguished professor in residence of psychiatry and education at the University of California, Los Angeles.
They also plan to use data from an ongoing study that has followed more than 100 individuals, now in their late 20s, since age 2. They aim to investigate how the autism features in this group contribute to practical outcomes such as well-being, social life and employment, separately from intelligence and language.
