Was unaware of that the Lopster Tank had limited viewing. These are the only charts [decent without a platform] I have access to: http://bitcoin.clarkmoody.com/ You can see major buying [small retracement rejection] of proce at about $175-200

I don't have access to a decent chart --so I did a crude area of supply. $175-$200 it looks like. Would also make a symmetrical corrective 2-wave down [AB=CD]

http://rt.com/news/iceland-debt-relief-measure-535/ Iceland’s government has announced that it will be writing off up to 24,000 euros ($32,600) of every household’s mortgage, fulfilling its election promise, despite overwhelming criticism from international financial institutions. The measure was introduced by the country’s prime minister, Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson, the leader of the Progressive Party which won the late-April elections on a promise of household debt relief. According to the government’s website the household debt will be reduced by 13 percent on average. Citizens of Iceland have been suffering from debt since the 2008 financial crisis, which led to high borrowing costs after the collapse of the krona against other currencies. “Currently, household debt is equivalent to 108 percent of GDP, which is high by international comparison,” highlighted a government statement, according to AFP. "The action will boost household disposable income and encourage savings.” The government said that the debt relief will begin by mid-2014 and according to estimates the measure is set to cost $1.2 billion in total. It will be spread out over four years. The financing plan for the program has not yet been laid out. However, Gunnlaugsson has promised that public finances will not be put at risk. It was initially proposed that the foreign creditors of Icelandic banks would pay for the measure. International organizations have confronted the idea with criticism. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) have advised against it, citing economic concerns. Iceland has “little fiscal space for additional household debt relief” according to the IMF, while the OECD stated that Iceland should limit its mortgage relief to low-income households. In the meantime, ratings service, Standard & Poor's, cut back on its outlook for Iceland's long-term credit rating to negative from stable, stating that the economic measure could affect the confidence of foreign investors if it ends up being paid for by the existing creditors of Icelandic banks.

I'll throw my in I just jumped on the bandwagon with crypto currencies I was looking at Litecoin a couple weeks ago and was pricing out parts to build a miner I missed the boat on that one I'm hesitant to get into the ones that are already heavily priced as there may be a bubble. So...after looking around a bit [because not all crypto currencies are the same] I ran into QUARK Right now it is CPU-based mining [and I hope it stays that way]. It's from some of the developers of Bitcoin It has went from 0.02 to 0.09 in 2 weeks. I had tried getting a miner running on my computers--they are all Windows 8.1. No where could anyone help me---but then I figured it out! I wrote a lengthy tutorial here : http://quark.freeforums.net/thread/41/total-noob-help Just hoping it stays CPU-mining based. Crypto currencies were meant to be used and implemented by common folks. Before you decide to purchase from them: do some searching---they have a very bad reputation for untimely delivery. I would personally build a Litecoin mining rig with 6 AMD 7950 cards [cheaper , more blocks, greater profit potential--you could do it for $1500-2000] and or build a Quark mining rig with AMD Opteron 6174 x4 rig for about $1500 https://forum.litecoin.net/index.php?topic=4049.0

http://www.tomheneghanbriefings.com/DinarGate-Escalates__11-24-2013.html UNITED States of America - It can now be reported that the Iranian nuclear deal that was agreed on today between the international community and Iran has nothing to do with non-proliferation but everything to do about money and greed. The announcement of the deal with Iran created immediate increase in the value of the Iranian rial. Note: Congratulations to the Israeli Foreign Minister for bringing this out today on CNN. Related: This latest Ponzi Scheme dovetails to the Iraqi Dinar and Vietnamese dong Ponzi Scheme that involves stolen U.S. Treasury funds that took place post 2008 financial crisis during the later days of the BushFRAUD Administration in late 2008. U.S. Treasury funds were laundered into the Central Bank of Baghdad and then, with the help of Wells Fargo, JPMorgan Chase and U.S. Citibank, illegally converted to Iraqi dinar. The funds which sat in the Central Bank of Baghdad in Iraq have now been illegally laundered back into a Wells Fargo branch in Reno, Nevada. Note: The Iranian rial and Iraqi dinar usually trade in tandem with each other. At this hour IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde and U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew have ordered a full investigation and a freezing of all FOREX currency related accounts tied to Wells Fargo and Citibank reference Iraq and Iranian rial. At this hour banks remain broke with massive bank asset deleveraging continuing. The privately owned U.S. Federal Reserve (out of cash) is using illegal cross-collateralized derivatives (tied to the Iraqi dinar-Iranian rial ponzi scheme) as collateral to fund credit default swaps to continue to try to 'bail out' insolvent European banks, specifically German Deutsche Bank, Union Bank of Switzerland, and last but not least the Bank of England. Reference: Last Friday Bank of England officials announced they have no plans whatsoever to raise interest rates. So much for Bloomberg News propaganda. WARNING TO INVESTORS: Beware of the British pound, Swiss franc and euro currency bubble. All three currencies may soon be replaced by the Iraqi dinar-Iranian rial. Question: Will the Fed taper or won't they? taper paper paper tape r As former L.A. KMPC sports talk show host Jim Healy would say: Ah, blow it out! P.S. We can also divulge that the SEC is investigating a Goldman Sachs-JPMorgan insider trading scam (another ponzi scheme) involving ETS in an attempt by JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs to temporarily boost uranium prices preceeding Goldman Sachs recent announcement that they plan to sell off their uranium sector unit. The scheme is to temporarily boost uranium prices, have JPMorgan buy the Goldman Sachs uranium unit and then JPMorgan will sell short uranium and uranium stocks.

Lol my friend.... I don't think I would make that mistake.

http://rt.com/usa/gmo-gluten-sensitivity-trigger-343/ GMOs linked to gluten disorders plaguing 18 million Americans - report Genetically modified foods such as soy and corn may be responsible for a number of gluten-related maladies including intestinal disorders now plaguing 18 million Americans, according to a new report released on Tuesday. The report was released by the Institute for Responsible Technology (IRT), and cites authoritative data from the US Department of Agriculture, US Environmental Protection Agency records, medical journal reviews as well as international research. “Gluten sensitivity can range in severity from mild discomfort, such as gas and bloating, to celiac disease, a serious autoimmune condition that can, if undiagnosed, result in a 4-fold increase in death,” said Jeffrey M. Smith, executive director of IRT in a statement released on their website. Smith cited how a “possible environmental trigger may be the introduction of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) to the American food supply, which occurred in the mid-1990s,” describing the nine GM crops currently on the market. In soy, corn, cotton (oil), canola (oil), sugar from sugar beets, zucchini, yellow squash, Hawaiian papaya, and alfalfa, “Bt-toxin, glyphosate, and other components of GMOs, are linked to five conditions that may either initiate or exacerbate gluten-related disorders,” according to Smith. It’s the BT-toxin in genetically modified foods which kills insects by “puncturing holes in their cells.” The toxin is present in ‘every kernel’ of Bt-corn and survives human digestion, with a 2012 study confirming that it punctures holes in human cells as well. The GMO-related damage was linked to five different areas: Intestinal permeability, imbalanced gut bacteria, immune activation and allergic response, impaired digestion, and damage to the intestinal wall. The IRT release also indicated that glyphosate, a weed killer sold under the brand name ‘Roundup’ was also found to have a negative effect on intestinal bacteria. GMO crops contain high levels of the toxin at harvest. “Even with minimal exposure, glyphosate can significantly reduce the population of beneficial gut bacteria and promote the overgrowth of harmful strains,” the report found. Dr. Tom O’Bryan, internationally recognized expert on gluten sensitivity and Celiac Disease, says that “the introduction of GMOs is highly suspect as a candidate to explain the rapid rise in gluten-related disorders over the last 17 years.” Internist, Emily Linder, offered some backup for the report’s findings. She removed GMO from her patients’ diets, finding that recovery from intestinal diseases was faster and more complete. “I believe that GMOs in our diet contribute to the rise in gluten-sensitivity in the US population,” Linder said in the release.

YW welcome Maggie I'm not so sure on the starches and pasta bit---leaving them out , as they recommend I think the problems lie in the process of the flour involved with the pasta [and breads] For example: white bleached flour is...well, bleached [with real bleach] I've read this wreaks havoc on the pancreas--and may be the cause to diabetes Also with the advent of GMO's I can't imagine that could be healthy IMO--I think pasta would be "safe" if the ingredients used were as pure as you could get them As with the bread

Sweden Recommends Low-Carb, High-Fat Diet to Combat Obesity http://www.foodproductdesign.com/news/2013/10/sweden-recommends-low-carb-high-fat-diet-to-comba.aspx DENVER—In an effort to reduce the national prevalence of obesity and diabetes, and improve heart health, Sweden has become the first Western nation to recommend a lower-carbohydrate, higher-fat diet, such as AtkinsTM. The recommendation is based on a literature review of 16,000 studies on diet and obesity, published by Swedish government advisers at the Council on Health Technology Assessment in September. The review suggested that following a low-carb, high-fast diet will improve body weight, blood sugar and good high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol without adverse effects on low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. An even lower carbohydrate intake (20% of total calories) would result in more benefits including improved blood sugar levels for individuals with obesity and diabetes and marginally decreased levels of triglycerides. "It will be interesting to see how quickly other countries follow suit, recognizing that managing carbohydrates is the key to handling certain health conditions," said Jeff Volek, Ph.D., RD, professor and nutrition researcher at the University of Connecticut. "Lower-fat varieties of foods are often higher in sugars and carbohydrates, which is simply counter-intuitive for people who need to control metabolism-related conditions like diabetes, metabolic syndrome and insulin sensitivity, all of which are related to obesity." Low-carb, high-fat diets have been shown to decrease inflammation, reduce cardiovascular disease and reduce cancer risk. A recent study in the British Journal of Nutrition showed that low-carbohydrate diets, have been are more effective for long-term weight loss and maintenance. High-protein diets restrict carbohydrate intake so the body goes into ketosis.

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/nov/13/bill-would-outlaw-us-dollar-russia/ MOSCOW — Predicting the imminent collapse of the U.S. dollar, a Russian lawmaker submitted a bill to his country’s parliament Wednesday that would ban the use or possession of the American currency. Mikhail Degtyarev, the lawmaker who proposed the bill, compared the dollar to a Ponzi scheme. He warned that the government would have to bail out Russians holding the U.S. currency if it collapses. “If the U.S. national debt continues to grow, the collapse of the dollar system will take place in 2017,” said Mr. Degtyarev, a member of the nationalist Liberal Democrat Party who lost in Moscow’s recent mayoral election. “The countries that will suffer the most will be those that have failed to wean themselves off their dependence on the dollar in time. In light of this, the fact that confidence in the dollar is growing among Russian citizens is extremely dangerous.” The bill would partially revive a Soviet-era ban on the dollar. It would prohibit Russians from holding dollars in the country’s banks, and banks would be unable to carry out transactions in the dollar. However, Russians still would be able to buy or sell dollars while abroad and hold dollar accounts in foreign banks. Russia’s Central Bank and the government would be exempt from the law. Russian financial analysts were largely critical of the bill, which they suggested was more about making political capital on the back of rising anti-U.S. sentiment in Russia than protecting the country’s economy. “The American financial system, despite all its existing problems, remains the most stable and low-risk in the world,” said financial analyst Andrei Shenk. He also warned that the bill would harm Russia’s investment climate. Another analyst warned that the bill would strip Russians of the ability to flee the country to seek greater political and social freedoms. “The right to the free exchange of currencies is a fundamental element of capitalism,” said Moscow-based economics analyst Igor Suzdaltsev. “It allows citizens to leave the country when a dictatorship is imposed by selling their property and exchanging their assets for the necessary currency.”
