Click through for photos from the launch of A+E Networks' new lifestyle channel FYI, NCTA staffers taking part in Washington, D.C.'s St. Patrick's Day 8K road race and more events for the week of March 17.
(FX, Thursday, Oct. 9, 10:30 p.m.)
FX has a reputation for delivering quality, entertaining, ground-breaking shows like The Shield, Rescue Me and Damages. That's why Testees, its latest attempt at a comedy series, is so disappointing.
This series from writer Kenny Holtz (South Park, Kenny vs. Spenny) stars Jeff Kassel (Ron) and Steve Markle (Peter) as slacker best friends and roommates who serve themselves up as test subjects for a drug and production facility, Testico.
Unable to come up with rent money from collecting the loose change in their beat-up couch, the two slackers reluctantly return to Testico lab, where they initially vowed never again to offer themselves up as test dummies for the company's obscure scientific experiments.
After both men are injected anally with Testico's latest test pill, Peter begins to physically show signs of being pregnant.
After struggling to determine what has happened to Peter, Ron eventually gets a very unpleasant, up-close-and-personal final diagnosis of Peter's condition.
The two characters aren't appealing and likeable enough to overcome the pilot episode's silly male-genital references and flatulence gags, which come off as more sordid than funny. The show will undoubtedly attract a young-male audience, but Testees falls below the original-programming standards that FX has set for itself over the years.

The Starter Wife
(USA Network, Friday, Oct. 10, 9 p.m.)
The Starter Wife starts where the Emmy-winning 2007 miniseries, based on Gigi Levangie Grazers's Hollywood satire, left off. Molly Kagan (Debra Messing) is divorced from executive producer husband Kenny (now played by David Alan Basche), and her subsequent summer fling has concluded.
The show also picks up with the conceit of movie reenactments: there's a take on the elaborate death swirl from the first Indiana Jones film and a dream sequence where she's Queen Elizabeth I (Cate Blanchett, not Helen Mirren, mind you) and vows never to have sex again. Of course, that wouldn't be much fun.
Relationships with two returnees are re-established. Interior designer Rodney (Chris Diamantopoulos) has a crush on a new client, a closeted, action star who winds up in denial about his sexual preferences. He's the non-threatening guy who gives Molly encouragement and romantic advice.
Acerbic and now recovering alcoholic Joan McAlister (Judy Davis, who won an Emmy for the role) is a more frank sounding board. During the first two episodes, her world has been reduced to serving as a chauffeur for Destinies, a rehab center. Her interplay with a still soused actor is amusing and perhaps prolonged, given that aging husband (Ronnie Cox) wants her to pursue fulfillment elsewhere because he's no longer up for that kind of thing.
Molly's travails through the first two episodes center on Kenny's using finances earmarked for their daughter's child support to finance his latest film, "Blood Canal," a box-office bomb.
More onerous are her attempts to make ends meet as a children's author. Meanwhile, writer's-workshop leader, divorced dad and would-be love interest Zach McNeill (Hart Bochner) encourages Molly to publish her personal journal about Tinseltown peccadillos, but the journal is stolen, and entries wind up on gossip site Dizzland.com.
The show trades on understated writing revolving around Molly's reconciling her new "downscale" station with the snootiness of her previous privilege. Comments about adjusting and moving to one of the "cheap states like west or south something" may not necessarily draw guffaws as the nation's economy crashes. Then again, we all could probably use more smiles these days.

There was large areas of heavy grape vines and olive trees which looked like donuts from above as the centres had been cut out of them to let the light in. The fields were pretty dry except for the odd ones growing alfalfa to feed the animal.
It was so incredibly peaceful and serene. There ...

We spent the time catching up on the blogs and other admin, and driving around the local area. It is quite close to where the Costa ...

I've arrived just as the team member who won the joust comes out onto the balcony and holds the winning joust high, and the crowd goes wild!! What a way to end the day!!!

It's hard to capture the expanse, size and beauty of the gardens, so in the bookstore on the way out, I take a photo of an aerial shot which you can see the entire estate.
Leaving the villa I drive back through the famous region of the Val d'Orca, which is simply spectacular as everywhere you look are picture postcard views, and it's easy to understand why so many people are drawn here.
Ancient caves and a personal escort!

Would your Business Survive?
At 10:21 a.m. on October 21, 2010, millions of Californians will Drop, Cover, and Hold On during The Great California ShakeOut, the largest earthquake drill ever! The ShakeOut is our chance to practice how to protect ourselves and to be prepared in the event of a large-magnitude earthquake on the Southern San Andreas Fault.
When considering disaster preparedness, we most commonly think about our family and our home. But now it is time to expand our thinking and consider our place of employment; the survival of our business depends on it.
"Roughly 40 to 60 percent of small businesses never reopen their doors following a disaster" according to the U.S, Small Business Administration.
So where to start? We recommend Ready OC. Ready OC is just that…Ready to help you and your OC business.
Their website offers a comprehensive guide to assist you in planning for all hazards (both man-made and natural disasters) that can impact business. It starts with making a plan to assess the situation as well as using both common sense and available resources to take care of yourself, your co-workers and your business. Effective communication with employees is the second consideration. Every employee should know where to go, who to contact and what to bring along in case of emergency. Lastly, review the steps you can take to both safeguard your company and secure your physical assets and protect your investment.
Participating at work in The ShakeOut is a great way to start your business on the road to preparedness. Right now there are 147 businesses registered in Orange County for the 2010 Great California ShakeOut, with a total of 38,103 participants. But even if your business did not register, you can still have your employees practice Drop, Cover, and Hold On as the first step in your emergency preparation.
Utilize the resources on Ready OC and don't let your business become a statistic!

Wake Forest rallied to beat UConn in 2nd straight bowl appearance | |
Written by Admin |
Saturday, 29 December 2007 11:38 |
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -Long the dregs of college football, little ol' Wake Forest proved last year wasn't a fluke. Behind speedy receiver Kenneth Moore and a swarming defense full of big plays, the Demon Deacons rallied to beat fellow upstart Connecticut 24-10 in the Meineke Bowl on Saturday. Often called ``Weak Forest'' for a long history of ineptitude, Wake Forest (9-3) secured the second-most wins in school history, behind only last year's improbable 11-3 mark that included an Atlantic Coast Conference title and an Orange Bowl berth. While this year wasn't as stellar, Wake Forest finished with nine wins in its last 11 games, and reeled off 24 unanswered points after falling behind 10-0 at halftime against the Huskies, who were playing in only their second bowl game. Moore, a senior playing in his hometown in his final game, caught 11 passes for 112 yards. Riley Skinner completed 29 of 38 passes for 268 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions, and ACC rookie of the year Josh Adams rushed for 81 yards and a score. Micah Andrews put it away with a 9-yard touchdown run with 29 seconds left for Wake Forest, which was playing in bowls in consecutive seasons for the first time and displayed an opportunistic defense. Linebacker Stanley Arnoux highlighted a series of big plays for Wake Forest with an interception and two fourth-down stops. Tyler Lorenzen was just 13-of-26 for 98 yards and was sacked twice, and Donald Brown rushed for 78 yards for the Huskies (9-4), whose poor second half ended their hopes of being ranked at the end of the season for the first time. |

We purchased a PVC waterproof blind that claimed to be perfect for in showers/baths... But it's actually only solved one problem with another. The bar at the bottom of the roller blind fills up with water when the shower is on, regardless of how we position the shower-head. Thus leading to each end of the bar leaking, one end is ok as it just leaks into the bath, but the other end leaks straight onto the ledge at the end of the bath causing a pool of water after each shower to form.
Delivery was late, it took another week than estimated. Generally quite overpriced blinds for what they are. Would not be inclined to buy again from tradeblinds.

The vacation is winding down HBOers. Three more days, counting today. I'm looking forward to our regular chats on the blog. But first a few more days in the garden and reading. I've gotten the bug for reading books again, thanks to our encounter with "Water for Elephants" and the launching of the Huckleberries Online Book Club. We'll be dealing with Harry Potter VII when I get back. I've already chatted briefly with Librarian Bette Ammon. And we're going to go for it here, as though everyone now knows what happened to Harry. If you don't want the plot ruined for you, and you're still in the dark, you'd better get reading right away. Or you can use this Wild Card to protest the next featured book. Or to start your own thread …

As congressional Republicans stand resolute against the 3-year-old heath care reform amid a government shutdown, California Republican legislators — even those who oppose the law — are marking its launch by setting aside politics at a series of meetings designed to dispel constituent confusion. The events differ dramatically from the raucous town hall meetings hosted by members of Congress during debate over the Affordable Care Act according to a recent post at www.medcity.news.

Make your own flakey sausage rolls with this low fat recipe that uses chicken and pork mince rather than preservative-laden sausage mince. This recipe is great for children's birthday parties or to take on a picnic – adults usually love them more than the kids.
30 small rolls
After school snacks, Australian, Beef, Budget, Finger food, Kids food, Mince, Party food, Pork, Toddler
Nut free
Preheat oven to 180°C. Line two baking trays with baking paper.
Place pastry sheets on bench to defrost. Place carrots, onion and parsley in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
Add mince, salt and pepper and puree until smooth. I did this in batches, combined all ingredients in a large bowl and did the final mixing with (clean) hands.
Divide the mince mixture into eight equal portions.
Slice each sheet of pastry in half. Place a portion of mince on the middle of the long-edge of the pastry and pat the mince into a long sausage shape.
Brush the sides of the pastry with egg, peel the pastry away from the plastic backing and fold the bottom edge over the mince and then roll it over to seal. Do this as firmly as possible so the pastry is tight and neat — makes for better presentation.
Brush the top of the pastry with egg and then cut each roll cross-ways into about 8 small rolls.
Place rolls on prepared trays about 2cm apart. Bake for 20 minutes until pastry is puffy and golden and the mince is cooked through.

"The New Atlanta" debuted last night on Bravo, and we've got a few thoughts about Mona Scott-Young's newest show.
When Bravo announced that it had picked up Mona's newest Atlanta reality series, visions of another "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" began dancing in our heads. We envisioned that Mona was just going to be bringing us more of the same. Although we can't get enough of "Love & Hip Hop" or its Atlanta spin-off, we didn't have high expectations for "The New Atlanta."
One thing we didn't factor into our expectations into the show is that Bravo has made lots of seemingly ridiculous ideas work wonders for their ratings. Who would ever have thought that a show about women married or engaged to rich men was going to be such a hit and spawn even more successful spin-offs? But here we are years later faithfully tuning in for whatever branch of "The Real Housewives" is currently in season.
With their track records of success, would Mona and Bravo be able to collaborate on something really good? Here's what S2S thought of their new series "The New Atlanta."
What we like:
- Vawn's relationship with his son was really cute
- Africa's hair is everything
- Alexandra's mother isn't afraid to try new things to keep it sexy

With all the duties we face everyday, it can be hard to find the suggested 8 hrs of sleep every evening. For this reason you should set an agenda on your own that enables for appropriate relaxation. When you're well rested, you've more energy, you are able to focus better, as well as your body will function more effectively. Poor sleeping habits may cause putting on weight and mess up your own body's natural balances, leading to lesser health.
Stress Management
Stress could be devastating for your body and levels. It may cause you to definitely loose sleep, and based on the Franklin Institute, stress "overloads the mind with effective the body's hormones which are intended only for brief-term duty in emergency situations. Their cumulative effect damages and kills cognitive abilities." Reducing everyday reasons for stress could make your body more healthy and able to better handle inevitable stress. Agendas, designated work and relaxation time, along with a strong support system are methods to help manage daily stress.
Hormones are chemicals created through the brain and have the effect of our sense of happiness and well-being. Just like stress causes our physiques release a dangerous chemicals, being happy can release hormones thus making you feel good as well as more healthy.

About 70% of the body consists of water. Once the body doesn't get enough water, systems neglect to function correctly and also the system suffers. This could have you feeling tired. Even working out and maintaining a healthy diet are pointless if you don't drink the quantity of water necessary for you to recuperate after working out and digest your food intake. Remaining hydrated during the day allows the body to work correctly and combat the drained feeling triggered by lack of fluids. So drink 8-10 8oz. portions of water during the day to remain healthy and hydrated.
Everybody requires a little help eating a well-balanced diet every once in awhile, right? We might not consume all the minerals and vitamins we want within our normal diet and our health and wellness and levels suffer for this. Even eating the suggested portions of fruits and vegetables could leave you missing vitamins because present day produce is grown in nutrient deficient soil. Going for a multi-vitamin everyday might help supplement the minerals and vitamins the body might be missing out of your diet and will also help you are feeling more vitalized.
- Always talk to your physician when considering new supplements.

Book Description:The rapid spread of hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") has temporarily boosted US natural gas and oil production... and sparked a massive environmental backlash in communities across the country. The fossil fuel industry is trying to sell fracking as the biggest energy development of the century, with slick promises of American energy independence and benefits to local economies. SNAKE OIL casts a critical eye on the oil-industry hype that has hijacked America's energy conversation. This is the first book to look at fracking from both economic and environmental perspectives, informed by the most thorough analysis of shale gas and oil drilling data ever undertaken. Is fracking the miracle cure-all to our energy ills, or a costly distraction from the necessary work of reducing our fossil fuel dependence?

Peau d'Âne by Anne Romby on We Heart It. http://weheartit.com/entry/81801104/via/ative3
This picture is based off the story of Donkeyskin that I found on deviant art
The actual story is one of my favorites, it's sort of like Cinderella but not. It's a folk tale so there are several different renditions of it.
A girl gets proposed to by an old king and she doesn't want to marry him so she asks for impossible things like, dresses made out of the moon and the sun and a dress more beautiful than any other. He succeeds so she then asks him for either his prized donkey to be skinned for her to wear as a coat OR for one of every species of animals in the kingdom to be used to make her a coat ( that one seems harder so I think that is a better version ) He again succeeds so she then takes the engagement ring and all his gifts and runs away wearing only the skin coat. She finds work as a castle maid in a neighboring kingdom where she is known only as donkey skin. The king who is young and handsome throws three balls and she sheds her coat and wears instead the dress of the moon then the dress of the sun and finally the most lovely dress of all, but just after the balls she disappears and changes back in to donkey skin. Of course the king falls in love with her and he sees her previous engagement ring but thinks nothing of it. He falls ill after the balls because he is grief stricken by the idea of never seeing her again. While he's sick the head maid must look after him leaving the job of preparing his meals to donkey skin. While making the king a bowl of soup she looses the ring in the soup which is then delivered to the king. Once he sees the ring he demands for the one who made the soup be brought to him. He then sees that it's donkey skin and then knows that it is his true love. They then lived happily ever after.
Which when you think about it is just because she was shallow but I still like the story.

I love this illustration of Allerleirauh, or "All-Fur," the titular heroine of the Grimms' version of Catskin. In this interpretation of the story, the protagonist wears neither a donkey-skin nor a cat-skin, but a coat made of a bit from every animal in the kingdom. Here, artist rcmtrue has made it clear which animals contributed their pelts. And we can even see one of Allerleirauh's three lovely dresses underneath her cloak—looks like the one as bright as the stars.

this is a little experiment with collage that i did. used an image of Karli Kloss from a recent Vogue shoot and random image of a donkey skull, the rest is Promarkers, fineliner and Photoshop ! pretty happy with how this turned out, i will probably start using this technique more often!

CHS plans to build North Dakota fertilizer plant

* Plant to produce 2,200 tons of fertilizer daily
* CHS to supply farmers in U.S. northern Plains, Canada
Sept 12 (Reuters) - CHS Inc, the largest U.S. farmer co-op, said on Wednesday it plans to build a $1 billion nitrogen fertilizer plant in Spiritwood, North Dakota, and set to open in the last half of 2016.
The proposed plant will convert natural gas into 2,200 tons of ammonia fertilizer daily, and distribute it as anhydrous ammonia, urea and urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) liquid fertilizer to farm supply retailers and farmers in the Dakotas and parts of Minnesota, Montana and Canada, CHS said.
The plant would employ 100 to 150 people, CHS said.
"Today CHS imports fertilizer products from 19 countries. Developing additional domestic crop nutrients sources closer to our customers is critical to meeting demand, improving our logistical and distribution expertise," Carl Casale, chief executive for Minnesota-based CHS, said in a statement.
The United States is the world's largest importer of fertilizer, with more than half the country's nitrogen and nearly 90 percent of its potash supplies coming from international sources, according to the Fertilizer Institute.
CHS, a leader in the crop nutrients business, sources and distributes some 7 million tons of fertilizers annually to farmer-member co-ops across the United States.

Shifty- you're sort of making my point. If the results are inferior to the previously announced projections by BOTH FDX and the analysts (and history suggests they will be), the future #'s are somewhat skewed and a downgraded EPS and therefore P/E ratio would result, no? UPS has already paid the price for peak while FDX has yet to do so. I'm simply saying their time will come next week and at the same CC, they'll have to discuss the weathers' impact on January and February. Beyond that, when they had previously projected their results, U.S. GDP was pegged at around a 3% growth. That's been downgraded significantly. So. I guess we'll see what the future holds on Thursday. Actually for me it may present an opportunity since I'm holding some April $95 covered calls I'd like to buy back if we hit a temporary dip in sympathy with FDX's report.
Sentiment: Buy
FDX had an 11% downside miss on last year's Q3 (Dec, Jan, Feb) earnings. That was without the havoc that this winter wrought. The latest expectation is for $1.52 - well up from last year's $1.23. What is curious is that one analyst has them pegged at $1.23 while another a lofty $1.72. I think CitiGroup has it right when they issued a lowered expectation several days ago. In my view, the fact that FDX hasn't done so puts them in a precarious position. Amazingly, they sit not far from their all-time high as no one seems particularly concerned about what they're about to report. Me? I'm baffled.....
Interesting that the only FDX "warning" comes from CitiGroup. How can it be that FDX would appear to prefer to simply announce a poor Dec/Jan/Feb quarter on the 19th without preparing the investment community for a lackluster report? Maybe they'll just make a bombastic going forward pitch? Seems strange to me.....
Nothing to do with management but simply to report the exceedingly difficult December of 2013 plus the weather-impacted months of January and February. Every other transport company has posted bleak numbers surrounding the end of fiscal 2013. There is absolutely no reason to think FDX somehow averted the issues that affected all the other players in the sector. Straight up, they're running short of time to warn and thereby run the risk of a severe downside reaction once they discuss the results.
there are so many holes in the FDX analyst expectations it's scary. First off, as we know they report their Q3 (December, January and February) on March 19th- just 3 weeks away. Just like UPS reported during our earnings call, FDX will have to discuss the disappointing peak season. They had problems in Memphis and Texas hubs just like we did. They had issues in urban/rural centers all over the country just like we did. The surprising thing in my mind is analysts not reacting to FDX's last Q3 report when projecting this years EPS prognostication. Last year they missed Q3 by a whopping $.13 while reporting $1.23. This year, despite the horrific weather and package overload, analysts are looking for $1.55. That # has only come down by $.02 in the last 90 days. So what I'm again saying is look for a profit warning in the near future just as UPS alerted the analyst community in advance.
If I recall correctly, during the earnings call management mentioned that the projected UPS effective tax rate for Q1 would be 35%. A report today mentioned that many large U.S. corporations pay very little in federal income tax over the last 5 years and many have paid zero at least once during that span. This is not a small sampling as it includes 288 of the largest corporations in America. So, it seems to me that the GOP plan that is being bantered about that might lead to a 25% tax rate for U.S. corporations would benefit us while hurting other companies who seem able to write off untold amounts of expenses. Thoughts?
Disappointed to say the least. I just hope management is astute enough to buyback shares at dips in the share price. Personally, I'm always leery of any company buying back shares in an effort to rise the EPS. Granted some are needed by treasury for options/bonuses etc. but I cringe in simply going on a buyback spree. I'd much rather they pursue immediately accretive acquisitions like the one announced earlier this week. So, is any one else super enthused by a nickle increase and about 2.7% as a new ratio? Oh- one more thought. Since so many present employees hold shares, I think a $.07 or so increase would have been a nice reward for struggling through some very, very difficult weather in the last few months. JMHO....
FDX has their next earnings CC on March 19th. It includes the months of December, January and February. So, they will have to admit to an overwhelmed peak season just like we did and follow that with a discussion about how the severe weather has been impacting operations. As a result, I expect shares of both FDX and UPS to decline with UPS dropping to the low $90's. That's actually temporary good news for those folks with $95 calls expiring in April. Again, it would seem logical for a 10%+ dividend announcement to come any day now.
It would be hard to imagine any company even remotely engaged in transit operations (with maybe an exception for the rails to some degree) not experiencing troublesome operations. It seems like as soon as headway is made in one part of the country, inclement weather strikes elsewhere or, in the case of Atlanta and the Carolinas, it returns in short order to wreak havoc a 2nd time. Undoubtedly, analysts and naysayers used to frown when they would here something like, "weather had a negative impact upon our profitability this past quarter." Well, when EVERYBODY experiences these issues and the impacts are on the TV, the web and driving conditions are treacherous, the situation is better understood. As poor as out quarter is probably destined to be, FDX is going to have a truly bad one. I'd be shocked if they don't warn in the next few weeks. The quarter they will be reporting on includes December and these last 2 very tough weather months. I'd also be fascinated to see how the airlines are doing. Just the cost of the de-icing is huge not to mention cancellations of business travelers which is strictly lost income. .
Sentiment: Buy
norjoa1- FDX will be reporting a double whammy. First though I wouldn't be surprised if they issued an earnings warning downgrade any day now for their Q3 (Dec, Jan, Feb). As we all know, FDX does not report their peak season like we do. Theirs is part of the upcoming earnings call. Yes, I agree with mljt that ALL transportation companies will be experiencing real service issues for at least January and February. Delays, inefficiencies and overtime have to be thru the roof. The thing is, when so many of the major urban centers are impacted, the weather is no longer viewed as an "excuse" but rather a reality. For comparative purposes, my mail delivery has been abysmal for weeks now. Wait until you see the airlines and retailers results. I just have my fingers crossed that a 10%+ dividend increase is still in the cards.
Sentiment: Buy
FWIW, just imagine if Amazon had exceeded analyst's expectations??!! As it was, JUST LIKE US THEY SCREWED UP THEIR PLANNING PERMITTING CUSTOMERS TO SHIP WAY TOO LATE IN THE SEASON WITH NO COMPELLING REASON TO ALERT THEIR DELIVERY COMPANIES IN A REASONABLE WAY. Now I feel better...
Guys- read the earnings call transcript and all your answers are there (hint- excessive equipment rental costs, overtime both during the week and weekends, refunds of guarantees, increased healthcare costs to name a few).
Sentiment: Buy
Excellent points. BTW, I got the feeling that the couple of times that the $5B or so "available cash on the books" reference was brought up it sounded VERY good for a substantial dividend increase. No planes are needed to add to our youngest in the industry fleet and share buyback allotment is slightly less than lest year. So, it portends 10% plus vs last year's 9% or so. Also, investors and analysts have to like the huge investments coming in hub facilities, technological advancements within the hubs to reduce intellectual requirement (training and memorization) meaning less investment in the classroom, knowing what is within trailers coming from bigger customers during peak and, of course the expanded and accelerated roll-out of Orion. I thought they handled the earnings call ideally and took full advantage of addressing that the difficulties of peak 2013 will spur much better outcomes for 2014. The turned a negative into a positive very effecttvely.
Sentiment: Buy
It's all about going forward and the plans for addressing issues that popped up during peak 2013 are more than solid.
one of my first questions would be how do you project the really poor weather conditions in key metropolitan areas of the country will impact your Q1? Then I'd ask how much progress we've made in repairing our relationship with Amazon? Then I'd ask about the impact of the pension mark-to-market going forward? Then I'd ask about any cost savings program on the horizon and the impact, if any, at this juncture of Orion? At this point, I think I'd be in a decent position to read the tea leaves for Q1 and beyond.
A Motley Fool blurb on the extraordinary selling, general and administrative expense that rose so much last year hurting our margins was the mark-to-market pension adjustment of $48B. We should reap a bit of benefit from that ins this year's final #'s particularly since the market did so well. I'd like to think that volume wise we'll be fine in Q1 but the weather (I know, it happens every year) IS A CONCERN as we've not seen anything like this polar express for some time. Reality is reality. The airlines are getting killed.
A couple things come to mind. Just to get these thoughts off my chest first. The airlines are getting killed by weather issues. When it happens to UPS, all we hear is "I didn't get my package" critiques. I know that's only part of the larger story being Amazon shipments overwhelming the system. Well, Amazon is expected to beat expectations. So they sit back fat and happy (but giving some refund considerations to customers) after having given us such faulty volume projections that they almost single-handedly guaranteed a dismal UPS performance for peak season. OK- now I feel better. The analysts have lowered their EPS expectations for Q4 due to our guidance update. It now sits at $1.25 down from $1.43. Last year, analysts expected us to earn $1.38 and we came in at $1.32. So, clearly the peak season may drive full year revenue higher but that is not reflected in EPS. Here's a little prediction. We gave our earnings warning a few weeks ago no doubt in part to address the bad Amazon publicity but also the impact of weather, excessive equipment rental and more peak season staffing. I'm hoping that the few tailwinds that we had, better mark-to-market pension status and lower fuel costs, might offset some of the performance cost issues. I'm looking at $1.27 or so. The dividend growth should still be right around 10%. Thoughts??
I know this will come up during the CC next week but anyone have any first-hand (or 2nd hand) knowledge on how that dispatch model is holding up?
You-re right- my mistake. Sort of took away the point I was trying to make. Oh well....

Believe it or not, it made it (I actually played a bit of it last night, but was too inebriated to really offer any cohesive thoughts today :P). Gran Turismo 5 is out today, and to celebrate ahead of posting up our review (coming soon), we have the official launch trailer for the game from Sony and Polyphony Digital.
Obviously there isn't much to reveal here; just more to show off in the way of the game's impressive visuals, its mammoth car list, track list and features list in typical Sony "flash" style. I wonder how many people took the day off work today to get behind the wheel? Watch the trailer embedded below, or click here to download it. Buy now from Games 101 Only AUD$24.95!

A quick fix for the Cortez Bridge?
If you think one exists, then we've got a bridge to sell you.
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is currently in the public-involvement and data-collection phase of a Project Development and Environment (PD&E) study about the future of the bridge.
The study began in January and could take two or three years.
An open-house meeting took place Tuesday, April 30, and FDOT is distributing surveys to Cortez and Anna Maria Island residents, business owners and property owners seeking feedback about the bridge, including:
Are you in favor of the replacement of the bridge or rehabilitation?
Should the bridge require replacement, what type of improvement would you like to see built? (The question allows respondents to select choices of a high-level fixed bridge, mid-level drawbridge, low-level drawbridge or other.)
Are you a boat owner who uses the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway at the Cortez Bridge?
Many Longboat Key residents use the bridge because it connects mainland Manatee County to Bradenton Beach, located directly to the south of the Key.
According to the project's website, "The need for the project is based on the structural and functional deficiencies of the existing bridge."
The latest survey of the 56-year-old bridge took place in April 2012, according to FDOT's website. At the time, the bridge received a sufficiency rating of 21.7 and a health index score of 75.65, both on a 100-point scale.
A health rating below 85 generally indicates repairs are necessary, although it doesn't mean the bridge is unsafe. The lower the rating, the better chance it is that replacing the bridge would be more economical than repairing it.
Sufficiency ratings are used to determine whether a bridge should be repaired or replaced and are also part of the formula the Federal Highway Administration uses to allocate funds for bridge replacement.
FDOT considers the Cortez Bridge "functionally obsolete," meaning it doesn't meet current road design standards, because of its lack of shoulders, 10-inch concrete roads separating travel lanes from the sidewalk, and old-style bridge railings.
The bridge is also considered "structurally deficient," meaning it needs a series of repairs or replacement within six years.
Commissioner Phill Younger, who represents the town on the Sarasota/Manatee Metropolitan Planning Board, a regional traffic-planning agency, said last week he didn't plan to attend the meeting because the project is "so preliminary."
Still, he believes Longboaters should pay attention to developments.
"It's in Manatee County, and it's their bridge, but we're impacted by it," Younger said. "If it does get built, I would like to see one like the Ringling Bridge that would enhance the ability to get off the island in an emergency."

SPARE a thought today for former police minister David Gibson.
Gibson's position as a police minister facing such an offence, despite it occurring before he was sworn in, was untenable.
Newman acted and came off looking like a strong leader.
It was in stark contrast to his predecessor as premier who protected rather than prosecuted wrongdoers in Labor's ranks.
However, Gibson's axing is looking increasingly opportunistic and Newman hypocritical given the latest drama surrounding Housing Minister Bruce Flegg.
The bar was set high by the incoming premier when he forced Gibson out after waxing lyrical about a new era of ministerial responsibility during the election.
However, Newman seems to have stumbled at the much higher second hurdle by so stridently sticking by Flegg.
However, the cumulative weight of what was claimed deserved some decent scrutiny by a leader who promised greater accountability rather than cheap politicking about the Opposition's record.
Refusing to properly probe accusations and attacking an opponent was the tried and true formula of the government that the LNP replaced.
Now, a short time later, Newman is proving they are no different.
Let's not forget that this isn't Flegg's first offence.
His appointment of LNP treasurer Barry O'Sullivan to review GoPrint was a sackable offence.
Failing to tell Newman that O'Sullivan also took a look at GoPlant only added weight to the case for his exit from Cabinet.
Newman's inconsistent actions are being viewed poorly by the LNP backbench and, more importantly, the public.
Newman should have at least promised to look at what was being claimed so he appeared part of the solution.
Instead, he's just come off looking like part of the problem.
Have your say

The Derby City Film Festival's blogA different kind of festival...
From the beginning the DCFF has distinguished itself from other
festivals, by selecting the only the very best in true independent
films. Focusing on independent films and filmmakers rather than
celebrities and hype, the DCFF sets out to prove that quality films do
not have multi-million dollar budgets. Credit card advances, family
loans, selling plasma, doing whatever it takes to get your dream and
vision to the big screen are the types of films and filmmakers we
showcase. Those are true independent films.
So whether you are a filmmaker or just a lover of film, we encourage you
to come and be apart of the Derby City Film Festival. We bet by the
time you leave you wonder why every festival doesn't do it this way. The 2012 DCFF will be held February 17th - 19th, 2012 and submissions open July 1st, 2011. The Derby City Film Festival |

Here it is...the MN walleye/northern opener and as usual it's cold (40 degrees) and raining. For the first time in a long time I'm not going to be on the water today. Since I never fish for walleye, and catch northern primarily on accident, I'm not all that disappointed, but I am sure tired of the nasty weather we've been having the spring. If the rain stops I guess I'll put the new prop on the boat, and run to the store to get the new tail lights that I need to put on the trailer. Maybe tomorrow will be a little better and I can run out for a few hours to chase some deep water northern.Have a great day everyone!

Is the Internal Combustion Engine at the End of its Life?
Here's a question I would like to see peoples' answers to: Do you think that the internal combustion engine will ever be done away with (as in fully replaced by another source of power)? I value anyone's input. I have my opinion, but at this time I choose to withhold it. Thanks...

If you start digging into the the database (public info) from the US Patent office; there are scientists that work for Lockhead Martin and Boeing that have already discovered alternatives to fossil fuels where the amount of resources that are available would be in practical terms, limitless for many generations of people world wide.
The problem that it comes down to is who the bad people in the world want to keep rich and poor. Right now we are in a cycle where the middle class is becoming the working poor. Any poor people really can't get any poorer ......

08-20-2012, 10:08 PM #7People seem to be missing the point of the question, so I bolded a key word within it, above. Given that particular word ('ever'), I absolutely believe the internal combustion engine will be done away with (as in replaced by another source) ... much like the Gutenberg printing press of 1405 was replaced by photocopiers and PDF files. When technological leaps are made old technology falls by the wayside.
The internal combustion engine has been around for a little over 200 years ... and like the Gutenberg printing press (and the mechanical presses it spawned), the internal combustion engine has quite a bit of life left in it. However, it is inevitable that it WILL be replaced by something better. That's the nature of technology... it improves in a Darwinian manner.
08-20-2012, 10:21 PM #8I'm with surrealone on this one. Eventually, yes, the internal combustion engine will be replaced. In the short term, it won't be real soon. A couple of observations:
1) Durability helps. Even if a replacement technology were immediately available, the IC engines coming out now will still be running for 10-20 years. If parts are available, they can be rebuilt and run that many years again. Even at the point of being replaced, the internal combustion engine will hang around waiting for existing ones to die out.
2) As with any replacement technology, the replacement and the IC engine will likely run side by side until the newer technology proves its value. At this point I don't see any technology even trying to compete with the IC engine. Sure there are "hybrids", but they are using an IC engine to keep the batteries charged. And the electric only vehicles are few and far between, and seem to be limited to small cars. Remember that whatever replaces the IC engine has got to replace, not only the little 4 bangers, those big heavy diesels that run semi-trucks and trains.'98 K1500 Suburban LS 5.7 L 4L60E NV246 ARB

08-20-2012, 10:39 PM #9Trains are actually electric motor driven. The big diesel power plants on board are for providing electricity via generator power for the electric motors. That's why they get insane fuel mileage.
Hybrids are a total waste of money and marketing gimmick to make the American public feel like they are sticking it to the man. There may be a 6 to 8 percent gain in mileage at best. Along with that, you lose any loading ability for towing or hauling... All for about a 15 to 20 percent price markup at the dealer... Then, when it breaks, there are only two people on the planet that know how it works and how to fix it... And they don't work cheap!
Longevity? 5 years is all the manufacturer cares about. After that, it's your baby. That would encourage customers to trade in and buy new much more frequently! Most manufacturers don't even offer vehicle-specific parts beyond 10 years from the time the vehicle goes out of production. It is all aftermarket Chinese parts after that."It went together didn't it? Well then there has to be a way to take it apart!" - Me.

Speaking to BoxingScene.com, "The Executioner" took a page out of Bob Arum's handbook, comparing MMA to "entertainment porno."
"Everybody is different but I don't want to watch two grown men wrestling with panties on. I'm from the hood, we don't play that. To me, I'm not buying a ticket to watch two grown men with panties on, sweating, with nuts in their face. That's not me. To compare that to boxing is ludicrous. It's a porno - it's an entertainment porno. I'm not wrestling a guy with panties on and his nuts in my face."
Hopkins, who will be making his long-awaited return to the ring in December against Enrique Ornelas, has spoken pretty favorably about MMA in the past, so I'm not sure why he feels the need to put the sport down now. My only guess would be -- and this comes to mind any time someone from the boxing world decides to trash MMA -- is that, for one reason or another, he feels threatened by the sport. Remember, Hopkins now works as a promoter for Golden Boy, so much like the Arums of the world, he has a vested in the business of combat sports.
The boxing community can boast all they want about Floyd Mayweather's recent pay-per-view out-drawing UFC 103, but the fact of the matter is that boxing only puts out two or three mega-fights a year on pay-per-view, while the UFC produces closer to seven or eight major shows. The real shocker would have been if the rather weak UFC 103 card would have sold more pay-per-views than Mayweather's return to boxing, not vice versa.
But instead of spending his time insulting MMA and its fans, maybe Hopkins should ask himself why he is fighting a relatively unknown fighter with a 29-5 record before facing 40-year-old Roy Jones Jr. in a rematch few in the boxing world seem to care about. For someone who likes to comment on what constitutes as entertainment, he doesn't appear to know how to produce it any more.

About the Dormitories
To help foster the transition to college life, all unmarried freshmen are expected to live in college dormitories, space permitting, and to take their meals in the college dining hall. Sophomores, juniors, and seniors may choose to live on campus, space permitting, or off campus by notifying the housing office according to published deadline dates. Students living on campus are expected to conform to standards of conduct that are consistent with the educational objectives and priorities of the college. Respect and consideration for the rights of others and their need for study and rest must receive priority over other needs.
Each resident is expected to respond appropriately to requests from staff and fellow students concerning behavior that does not honor this priority. Resident assistant reports on student behavior are taken very seriously and may lead to fines, and/or community service, loss of on-campus housing privileges, or even dismissal from the college, depending on the nature of the offense.
Only freshmen are guaranteed housing on campus. Continuing students who have paid their advance deposits by the published deadlines are able to select their rooms for the next year in an order determined by lottery held toward the end of the second semester.
What's in the dormitory rooms?
The main campus dormitory room inventory consists of the following:
- Wall-mounted telephone with college Ethernet connection
- Hard-wired smoke detector with battery backup
- Student desk with attached desk lamp
- College chair
- Wall-mounted bookcase
- Wastepaper basket
- Window mini blinds and screens
- Built-in closet
- Mirrored medicine chest with light
- Towel rack or hooks
- Bed unit consisting of a standard or extra-long twin frame, box spring, and mattress
- Sheets to fit standard or extra long twin
- Mattress cover
- Pillows, blankets
- Comforter or bedspread
- Small rug; floors are tile and chilly in winter or rugs can be purchased when you arrive
- Towels and wash cloth
- Clothes and hangers
- Warm outerwear for winter. Layers are best for high desert weather.
- Sports gear and clothing (ski equipment can be borrowed from the college, see student activities for information)
- Hat, sunglasses and sunscreen
- Shoes – include at least one pair for rough terrain if you enjoy walking or hiking
- Computer and printer (not required)
- Stereo AND headphones
- Hobby and special-interest items
- Toiletries and tote to take them to bathroom
- Coffee/tea mug
- Laundry supplies
Consult the student handbook for more detailed information about what is allowed in and what is not allowed in dormitories. In general when packing for college, less is best . Wait and see what you need after you arrive. There are many discount stores in Santa Fe for furnishing your dorm room.

Santa Fe, NM 87505-4599
The dorm rooms on the Santa Fe campus come with phones installed. Students can dial any other campus resident or office by using the last four digits of the phone number.
The following information is provided to help facilitate your use of computers while at college.
Dorm Connections
In order to participate in the college network, and to obtain support in accordance with the support policy below, any computer must meet the following standards:

For those on the food service plan, meals are served in the Dining Hall seven days a week. A variety of food is offered at every meal, including vegetarian and vegan. Sometimes the lines are long, but the dining hall is open long enough at every meal to accommodate all students on the food plan.
The Coffee Shop is located on the first floor of the Peterson Student Center. Snacks and meals can be purchased there all day and during some evening hours during the week. It has sandwiches, coffee, burgers and fries, and other beverages and snacks. The Coffee Shop is independent of the food service in the Dining Hall, which means that students cannot use meal plan credits there. There are also a variety of snack and drink machines on campus.
Health Services
The services of the Health Center are free of charge to all students regardless of whether they carry their own health insurance or use the one available through the college. For more information contact Terri Selvage, Nurse Practioner, 505-984-6418. Appointments can be made directly by students.
Buying Books and Supplies
The Campus Bookstore stocks all books required for St. John's classes. Multiple translations and/or editions are available of most books on the reading list. Should you buy all your texts at the start of the year? It depends. Your tutors may express a preference, and you're going to hear many opinions from upperclassmen. You will also develop your own tastes. The basic things you need to begin are: C.A.E. Luschnig's Introduction to Ancient Greek, Second Edition, Euclid's Elements, and volume 1 of the Freshman Lab Manual.
The Bookstore accepts VISA, Discover, MasterCard, or American Express credit cards. Naturally, personal checks with a phone number and cash are also welcome.
What the Bookstore stocks: program books, extensive titles of fiction, poetry, reference, history, sciences, philosophy, religion and Eastern studies, and selected titles in writing, drama, language studies, biographies and criticism, mathematics, nature and the Southwest, art books, children's literature and music.
Special orders are taken at no extra charge. There is also a variety of sweatshirts, T-shirts, baseball caps, and other SJC paraphernalia. The Bookstore carries office supplies like notepads, pens, binders, and pencils, and an assortment of basic sundries. The store also offers a fax service.
The Bookstore is open Monday through Thursday, 8:45 a.m.—7.30 p.m.; Friday 8:45 a.m.—5 p.m.; closed Saturday; and Sunday 2 p.m.—8 p.m. They are closed for major holidays.
The Bookstore phone number is 505-984-6056 and their e-mail is email@example.com.

We love math, and we know that we're not the only ones. We always get excited when we find other sources of people highlighting the benifits of being a Math Major, even if it's another University. Check out our "Links to Other Useful sites" page which is in the "Resources for Teachers" section, to find a viriety of other organisations and websites that love math and want to help math students just as much as we do!
The most common question students ask math teachers at every level is "When will I use math?" WeUseMath.org is a non-profit website that helps to answer this question. This website describes the importance of mathematics and many rewarding career opportunities available to students who study mathematics.
