Emerged from the sea to provide shelter and comfort…an island of freedom where we can all share wisdom and knowledge. eeos

my tent fabric needs some fine tuning still….more to come later in the weekend.

Sometimes I will draw a trendline and then see many days months or years later they still have resonance with price. Thats a great example.  In my netdania account I will often find price stopping at a trendline and wonder:where the heck did that come from?”  (have to go back in time to find out) They not only work in the short timeframe but also the longer time frames, some much more important than others for obvious reasons. Nice to see your older tl merging with the new uptrend support, should add some extra help imo, we shall see…..

No wasn’t Atlanta was Maryland

Government workers involved in cleaning out an old storage room made a shocking find, six glass vials of freeze-dried smallpox virus, sealed with melted glass and stored away and forgotten in a cardboard box.
Previously, it had been believed that the only remaining stockpiles of smallpox virus were in highly secure laboratories at the CDC in Atlanta and at a like facility in Moscow, Russia.
This makes the first time that “unaccounted-for smallpox has been discovered,” but it is the “second incident in which a government health agency appeared to have mishandled a highly dangerous germ,” referencing that safety violation at the CDC wherein anthrax exposure could have occurred to scores of employees.
The smallpox vials were found in a building at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, and has been used by the Food and Drug Administration since 1972, although the vials may have been stored there since the 1950s. No records have been found to indicate when the vials were stored there, no one has been infected, and no smallpox contamination was found in the building.
However, smallpox can remain deadly even after being freeze-dried, although it usually must be kept cold to maintain its virulence. These vials were stored for many years at room temperature.
In the meantime, we learn that “workers at a federal health site were not immediately notified” when the vials were found.
One anonymous scientist had this to say: “I think the responsible thing to do would have been to inform us without us having to find out through the media.”
True, that would have seemed the decent thing to do, but this is government we’re talking about. An NIH spokeswoman said the decision was made not to alert employees about the discovery because the vials posed no threat and had already been secured.
Frankly, we can’t blame the employees for being pissed, because we have to ask, if there had been a threat, would they have then told the employees?
We doubt it, judging from past history. Three years ago, “an outbreak of a deadly disease agent that has no known cure occurred at an NIH clinical center. That incident was not revealed for some months.” After that incident, the government promised “in the future to more quickly alert state and local officials if another dangerous outbreak occurs even if it did not pose a clear public health risk.” So much for that empty promise.
The vials are undergoing “up to two weeks of testing to establish whether they are dead,” then they will be destroyed. In the meantime, the CDC notified the World Health Organization about the vials and invited them to participate in the investigation. If viable smallpox is found, WHO will be invited to “witness the destruction of these smallpox materials, as has been the precedent for other cases where smallpox samples have been found outside of the two official repositories.”
Naturally, we can’t help but wonder why they don’t save a lot of time and money and just go ahead and destroy them, but that would not be correct government procedure, which exists to enhance the spending of money.
Well, we think this finding just blows all the arguing over whether or not to destroy those remaining samples right out of the water. If we can make a finding like this here in America, what do you think they might find in warehouses in Russia or the United Kingdom? Or in Iran? Or in Pakistan?

Especially Atlanta. Think that’s where they found the misplaced small pox virus containers. Things coming out of there left and right but hopefully good news is that they learn from things ” whatever is going in there.”

ATLANTA (Reuters) – The first of two American aid workers infected with the deadly Ebola virus while in Liberia landed in the United States on Saturday, en route to an Atlanta hospital for treatment.

Are you prepared to self-quarantine?  Have enough food and water on hand to last a few months?

Signs and symptoms typically begin abruptly within five to 10 days of infection with Ebola or Marburg virus. Early signs and symptoms include:

Fever
Severe headache
Joint and muscle aches
Chills
Weakness
Over time, symptoms become increasingly severe and may include:

Nausea and vomiting
Diarrhea (may be bloody)
Red eyes
Raised rash
Chest pain and cough
Stomach pain
Severe weight loss
Bleeding, usually from the eyes, and bruising (people near death may bleed from other orifices, such as ears, nose and rectum)
Internal bleeding

Since Ebola isn’t common here I haven’t studied it much. I don’t know if it thrives in a normal PH or high or low PH meaning whether your treatment would help or make it worse. However bleach probably kills it but the PH level in you body being more prone or not I don’t know yet. If it starts here best to do some serious DD on it.

The problem there is many aren’t educated in the invisible killers. Someone can get sick with it and they won’t take measures to protect the rest of the family. I remember years ago many years that they were having a hospital worker suck up blood samples in a straw believe or or not and of course they got sick. I think it was about that time in OBGYN they were having the nurses suction babies with straws ” their new idea or some idiot and was the time 1980s guess what AIDS WAS RAMPID. the straws weren’t straight but looped like the fun stars for kids now and that was supposed to protect them.  Maybe that’s the same idea they had going on over there.

Anyho they could be spreading it cuz they don’t know their infected could be working in food service hotels or even traveling and not know they have it. If there ever was a outbreak don’t by fresh veg or anything that could be contaminated airborne or by touch and N95 mask when out and serous hand washing both alcohol and soap water. Also shoes take them off before walking in a house to be careful,

I used your start point for the gold bull of 252.50 (now changed to 255.80) for many years and never could make a chart make any sense. Only when I began using the July 1999 date and price of 253.20 did everything begin to fall into place. By taking the starting point from that bottom, as you can see on this chart, support line begins as resistance for several years, then once gold broke through resistance it became support which has held from then on. Give it a try and see what you think. silverngold

now I can suggest friends follow the metals market news on gold tent..

great idea,,,now we have a serious gold and silver web site

thank you

So … what happens when the cupboard is bare? Hmmm let me think about that …

3 market warning signs predict 20% stock tumble

After a selloff this past week dragged the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.42% into negative territory for the year, it’s worth noting that all three are flashing today.

The signals are excessive levels of bullish enthusiasm; significant overvaluation, based on measures like price/earnings ratios; and extreme divergences in the performances of different market sectors.

They have gone off in unison six times since 1970, according to Hayes Martin, president of Market Extremes , an investment consulting firm in New York whose research focus is major market turning points.

Bear in the air

The S&P 500’s SPX -0.29% average subsequent decline on those earlier occasions was 38%, with the smallest drop at 22%. A bear market is considered a selloff of at least 20%, with bull markets defined as rallies of at least 20%.

In fact, no bear market has occurred without these three signs flashing at the same time. Once they do, the average length of time to the beginning of a decline is about one month, according to Martin.

It’s hard for me to think of deflation when the printing presses have been running full tilt. That chart could turn around quickly if some of that “money” starts chasing commodities on account of loss of faith in paper money.

Espirito Santo Stock Suspended After 40% Crash, “Pending Information”

Looks like it will be a busty weekend for European leaders calling the crisis over. Knife-catching ‘value’ investors have been torn asunder as Banco Espirito Santo’s stock crashed another 40% today to 12c and has now been suspended by Portugal’s securities regualtor.
•*BANCO ESPIRITO SANTO SHARES SUSPENDED PENDING INFORMATION, CMVM SAYS

With Goldman bailing and the sovereign suggesting it is not willing to bailout, it appears – based on Sub debt’s collapse – that a bail-in burden-sharing solution is coming. When will Bill Miller scoop it up?

This slapped me in the face from another place… just in case anyone needs any more ‘material’:

I post this for the humor value.  Maybe I should have posted it at that other old TA site, but I have likely been surgically excised there.  For the record, I do NOT follow ‘gurus’ (unless it’s Wanka) and I do not invest in paper.

I’m a physical slacker… er… Stacker!

That was my first thought as to ‘why’ they would want to bring those two infected americans back to this country.  If either of them survives, they would be a potential source of antibodies which could be used to make a vaccine.

No one talks about MMS much these days… but I still have my stock of Chlorine Dioxide preps and it does work to nip the flu and cold viruses in the bud.  Nasty stuff to take, but when the alternative is death….

People could travel and not know they have it yet. I remember reading many years ago someone infected getting the antibodies of someone who survived Ebola and the person survived. But yet they did nothing with it. Figures though.

“In Russia live Russians. Any minority, from anywhere, if it wants to live in Russia, to work and eat in Russia, should speak Russian, and should respect the Russian laws. If they prefer Shari’ya Law, then we advise them to go to those places where that’s the state law. Russia does not need minorities. Minorities need Russia, and we will not grant them special privileges, or try to change our laws to fit their desires, no matter how loud they yell ‘discrimination’. We better learn from the suicides of America, England, Holland and France, if we are to survive as a nation. The Russian customs and traditions are not compatible with the lack of culture or the primitive ways of most minorities. When this honorable legislative body thinks of creating new laws, it should have in mind the national interest first, observing that the minorities are not Russians.” — Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, addressing the Duma February 4th, 2013.

The politicians in the Duma gave Putin a standing ovation for 5+ minutes!
