AGORACOM Maintenance Alert: Going Offline Tonight, and Friday night for about an hour

Dear Members.

AGORACOM will be updating our server framework tonight and tomorrow night. As a result our discussion forums will be down for 1 hour or less.

These problems stemmed from our recent switch to a new web host and some issues with our DNS records (the settings that tell your web browser where our website is located). We believe we have squashed these bugs and are looking forward to pushing these updates through.

In anticipation of this scheduled maintenance we suggest the following:

1. If you are going to post any long and intensive material after 6PM either tonight or on Friday night, save a copy. We don’t expect to lose any data from the last 2-3 hours but better to be safe than sorry

2. Our blog (which you are reading right now) and Twitter account will be unaffected during the downtime, so feel free to contact us at either if you have any issues and can’t reach us through the site.

Best thing to do is to post comments on our blog. Alternatively you can reach us by emailing contactagora@agoracom.com

3. We expect the migration to be very smooth but please let us know if you have any issues.

4. If you are in Toronto, or the GTA, enjoy the weather! Summer is here so go out and have some fun!

We trust the above to be satisfactory as we strive to continually provide you with a great AGORACOM experience.

Thanks,
George and the AGORACOM Team

Auguries — Globalists Bearing Gifts

September 22, 2011

By Kevin Michael Grace

The Ben Bernanke’s “Operation Twist” was DOA yesterday, and the market erupted in chaos today. The Dow fell 391.01 (-3.5%) to 10,733.83; the S&P/TSXV fell 105.54 (-6.2%) to 1,598.24; gold fell $63.10 (-3.5%) to $1,745; and silver fell $4.11 (-10.2%) to $36.36.

In response, a shell-shocked Peter Hillyard, ANZ head of metal sales in Europe, told Reuters, “The textbook ideas, the things we follow, the things we believe to be so are being shot to pieces for the moment.” For today, there is apparently only one thing investors believe in. “Everyone says they’re concerned about economies everywhere, but I suppose it’s dollar strength. That’s what I’m putting it down to.” He doesn’t seem convinced, but in a world whether nothing financial makes sense, Hillyard’s explanation is as good as any other.
