10 Bank Stock Value Picks
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- While the banking industry is clearly in recovery mode, numerous economic and regulatory challenges continue to pressure price multiples for some of the best-known financial players.
Using data provided by Thomson Reuters Bank Insight, we isolated the 10 actively traded bank stocks trading at the lowest multiples to consensus 2013 earnings estimates, among analysts polled by Thomson Reuters.
The stocks are limited to those with average daily trading volume of at least 50,000 shares. Our data set also excludes pure investment banks, such as Morgan Stanley (MS), which was heavily discounted, with shares trading for less than half their tangible book value and 7.5 times the consensus 2013 EPS estimate of $1.95, based on Friday's closing price of $14.61.
Now that the large banks have finished reporting their second-quarter results, investors are focused on several key challenges and opportunities:Narrowing margins. With the Federal Reserve committed to keeping short-term interest rates between zero and 0.25%, while the central bank continues to purchase long-term securities in an attempt to continue bringing down long-term rates, most banks are feeling the squeeze. Since the short rates have remained so low for so long, banks can no longer rely on shrinking funding costs to offset lower rates on new or renewed loans and on securities investments. In her firm's second-quarter industry Earnings Wrap-up for 134 banks, KBW analyst Melissa Roberts said the industry saw "significant [net interest margin, or NIM] compression... with the median NIM at 3.76%," declining seven basis points year-over-year, and three basis points sequentially. Large regional banks suffered the most, according to KBW, with net interest margins declining by an average of 15 basis points year-over-year, while only 29% of large regionals covered by the firm saw expanding margins. Credit Quality Improvement. Large banks continued to lower their quarterly provisions for loan losses, with most releasing reserves over the past several quarters, boosting earnings performance. Roberts said that the median nonperforming assets ratio for banks covered by KBW "52 bps y/y and 17 bps q/q to 2.53%." Loan Growth. KBW said that banks covered by the firm saw average total loans grow by a median of 1% quarter-over-quarter and 4% year-over-year, with large-cap banks fairing the best, with total loans growing 7% year-over-year. Regionals have been focused on growing their profitable non-real estate commercial loan portfolios. Another growing profit center is residential mortgage lending, with most of the new loans being quickly sold to Fannie Mae (FNMA) and Freddie Mac, for a quick profit, as the banks remove the interest rate risk from their books. Mortgage refinancing is on fire, with the expanded Home Affordable Refinance Program, or HARP 2.0, allowing qualified borrowers with loans held by Fannie or Freddie to refinance their entire loan balances at today's historically low rates, no matter how much the value of the home has declined. Capital growth and Basel III. Banks are still building capital, with a median ratio of tangible equity to tangible assets of 8.77% as of June 30, increasing from 8.64% the previous quarter, and 8.58% a year earlier. Most large banks are expecting to be compliant with the Federal Reserve's proposed Basel III capital rules many years in advance of January 2019, when the rules will be fully phased in. The larger banks updated their Basel III Tier 1 common equity estimates based on the Fed's capital rules proposed on June 7. On Wednesday, the Fed extended the comment period on the new capital rules by 45 days, until October 22. Expense control. With the largest banks seeing major pressure on their trading and capital markets revenue, while the smaller banks suffer from margin pressure and slow demand in several loan categories, many banks have large, even branded, efficiency initiatives in place. A bank's efficiency ratio is, essentially, the number of pennies of overhead expense incurred for every dollar of revenue. KBW said the median second-quarter efficiency ratio in its coverage universe was 63.11%, improving from 63.65% in the first quarter, and 64.09% in the second quarter of 2011. Return of Capital. After the Federal Reserve completed its annual stress testing of large banks' capital plans in March, many of the biggest players immediately announced dividend increases and significant stock buyback programs. Some banks were required to submit updated capital plans, and some elected to wait another year before requesting permission from the Fed. Investors are clamoring for more dividends, and buybacks, of course, lower the number of outstanding shares, which increases analysts' earnings estimates, supporting higher share prices. Here are the 10 cheapest bank stocks, among actively traded names, to 2013 earnings estimates, counting down by declining forward P/E ratio:

MILTON, N.Y. -- The Saratoga County sheriff's department tells NEWS10 they're looking for so called "gas bandits" whom they say are targeting certain models of pickup trucks and stealing the gas right out of the tanks.
Police say they are investigating more than 20 cases – and the holes cannot be patched, so, the truck owners must pay about $500 to $600 for a brand new gas tank.
Police are urging people to keep an eye on their vehicles and secure them inside a garage if possible.

Yield on 10-year benchmark government securities is likely to harden in the coming weeks after the Reserve Bank reduced the statutory liquidity ratio or SLR by 1 per cent last week, say experts.
Also, given the huge borrowing plan of government in August, there is less possibility of yields softening in near future.
"Yield on 10-year benchmark G-Sec will be in the current levels of around 8.20-8.25 per cent with less possibility of softening in the coming weeks," Vijaya Bank Executive Director Shubhalakshmi Panse told PTI.
She also said current domestic economic environment and the forecast of a patchy monsoon would push the yield upward.
In the policy review last Tuesday, the RBI reduced the SLR (the portion of bank deposits held in treasury bills) to 23 per cent from 24 per cent, in its bid to increase liquidity to support credit growth. The move is expected to release Rs 64,000 crore in the system.
However, this is likely to push up the yields as banks have less incentive to invest in G-Sec.
"Bond yields will also depend on the supply of G-Secs. If there is higher supply, then yields will rally," Panse said.
The government has an estimated borrowing plan of Rs 5.69 lakh crore this fiscal. Of this, over Rs 60,000 crore are likely to be borrowed in August.
"Bond yield will depend on the demand-supply situation.
Given the supply pipeline of G-Secs, the outlook is bearish," said a public sector treasury official, seeking anonymity.
He also said that after the reduction, demand for government bonds is likely to be reduced, which would push up yields. "In the coming weeks, yield will be around 8.25 per cent on 10-year G-Sec," he added.
Referring to liquidity pressure going ahead, the official said the central bank has opened many windows to maintain adequate liquidity, which will ensure there is no deficit situation.

We'd not really considered that cruise holidays were for us, and I was actually looking online at ferry crossings to Scandinavia with the intention of taking the car over and spending a week driving around the sights. After seeing how expensive they were, I gave up! After that, I started to get "placed" adverts on other websites I visited, and that's when I saw the Thomson Cruises. One click led to another, and we'd booked our first cruise - Magic of the Fjords on the Thomson Spirit, August 2012.
We really didn't know what to expect from the cruise, so this forum proved very useful in giving us some background information. It has to be said that you can't really find very much from the Thomson website, and you feel "in the dark" about some of the deeper mysteries of cruises. So thank you to all the people who have left their most useful hints and tips.
We sailed from Harwich. The check-in process was so simple (as a frequent flyer on business, it was actually a pleasure). Once on board, we soon realised just how many staff they have to look after you. I didn't expect to be shown to our cabin (200, Promenade/deck 7), and this set the scene for the next 7 days.
So, the cruise itself. We visited Eidfjord, Flam and Bergen, with a day at sea at either end. At no stage did we find that we had nothing to do, and even our 12 year old son never got bored. The cabin was right at the front (just under the bridge) and looked over the bow. We had to have our window blinds closed each evening, so unfortunately we couldn't see out at night, but the cabin was cosy. Like many people, the only thing we think it lacked was a kettle, but we soon got used to going to the Lido deck for a cuppa and bringing it back to the cabin.
We didn't book any excursions, choosing to print out maps before we left and exploring the destinations on foot. Eidfjord had a lovely walk up to a lake (complete with beach and log cabin!), and into the countryside where you could see Viking burial mounds. Flam was our absolute fave - we walked up to the Brekkefossen waterfall which had spectacular views over Flam. And in Bergen we took the funicular up to the top of Floyen. I'll upload the photos to Flickr and post the link later.
The crossing back was choppy - force 8/9. We found that having a cabin at the front caused quite a lot of movement, but it was mainly during the night and we didn't notice it too much whilst we were asleep.
In summary, a superb introduction to cruise holidays, and we left feeling refreshed. Early this year, we booked again for the Thomson Spirit, this time going on the Fire & Ice 13-night cruise in July. We've opted for a deck 3 cabin (because we're told they are a bit more stable in heavy seas), and we should be somewhere midships as we have got a 4-berth cabin booked.
I'll be on the lookout for more hints & tips on your superb forums.

Atlanta police are searching for two suspects involved in another ATM theft.Surveillance video shows one suspect walk in through the side door of 270 17th Street at Atlantic Station last weekend. The man then unplugs the machine, goes outside to get his partner and they carry the machine out.Authorities say the ATM wasn't bolted to the ground which made the job easy for the thieves.Police later recovered the machine in southwest Atlanta.Authorities are unsure whether this theft is related to two others this week.

Mumbai, July 27:
The rupee rose by 9 paise to 55.43 against the US dollar in early trade today at the Interbank Foreign Exchange on increased capital inflows amid a stronger euro.
Forex dealers said fresh capital inflows and the euro's gains against the dollar after the head of the European Central Bank pledged to support the troubled currency, supported the rupee.
The rupee bounced by 64 paise to close at 55.52 against the dollar yesterday on heavy selling of the American currency.
Meanwhile, the BSE benchmark index Sensex recovered sharply by 271.48 points, or 1.63 per cent, to 16,911.30.

FAYETTEVILLE (AP) - Meighan Simmons scored 18 points as No. 11 Tennessee rallied from an 11-point second-half deficit to defeat Arkansas 60-54 on Sunday.
The Lady Vols (22-5, 13-1 Southeastern Conference) extended their winning streak to five games and remained atop the conference standings. It also follows a shocking overtime win last season by the Lady Razorbacks, their first win in Knoxville.
Simmons, the SEC's leading scorer, had 11 points in the second half to lead Tennessee back from a 28-19 halftime deficit. Taber Spani added 14 points for the Lady Vols, while Bashaara Graves had 11.
Quistelle Williams led Arkansas (17-10, 5-9), which has lost 7 of its nine games to ranked teams, with 15 points.

This has got to be their best record along with their latest release. Every record Clutch puts out has a different sound and theme. Neil Fallon always has some great lyrics, and musically they are always tight like that. Fav tracks are, Elephant Riders, The Soapmakers, The Yeti, Muchas Veces, and Wishbone. Don't get me wrong I still love their first 2 records along with pitchfork and impetus but this is the best Clutch record.
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
I don't understand the popular sentiment among Clutch fans that this album isn't up to par with the rest of their material. This is one of, if not their very best, album to date. For my money, Blast Tyrant is still their absolute best and one of the top rock albums ever made, but Elephant Riders is very close. Every song is outstanding and Clutch take some gambles here that really pay off. It is remarkable to see the transitions made in their first three releases, and the improvements they made to their sound in each. Elephant Riders, in my opinion, was the first Clutch album with cohesive song writing and really technical playing. With the Soapmakers, you have one of the greatest Clutch songs ever, featuring a totally different country rock feel, with a new style from Neil, and some outstanding riffs and lyrics. The brass accompaniment on the instrumental Crackerjack is really outstanding, while Clutch returns to some full on heavy metal with Dragonfly – hearkening back to their Transatlantic Speedway days but totally exceeding anything on that record.
I just don't understand why this album isn't seen as one of the greatest in Clutch's catalog because for my money it certainly deserves to be recognized as such.
Jam metal isn't a genre that one hears much, but if Clutch is any indication, it has some serious potential. This album boasts an intense power groove that could easily lead to whiplash from excessive head bobbing. The title track and "Eight Times Over Miss October" stand out especially. Each song is led by Tim Sult's grinding, stuttering guitars and Neil Fallon's guttural vocal wail. The rhythm section backs the songs well with booming bass lines and infectious, propulsive drumbeats. Clutch excel at making heavy music that is also extremely catchy and groovy, with a jam element that is rare in metal. For fans looking for a band that rocks like no other, Clutch is a good place to start.
Clutch is one of the most wicked and deliciously un-commercial bands out there, but with their underground status comes PURE GENIUS! Clutch is so misunderstood, but the true appeal of the band's uniqueness comes through on "The Elephant Riders," their Columbia Records debut.Frankly, I'm amazed that Columbia even got what this band was about. Imagine taking everything you love about Black Sabbath and classic stoner Rock, update the production, write lyrics that are incredibly clever and make it hip for anyone who's ever dared to question what hip is. Clutch is everything a Hard Rock fan could want without an ounce of pretentiousness.Clutch's lyrics sound like they were stolen from the script of "Deliverance," and their backwoods, fuzzy guitar tones will mystify with their hypnotic groove.Clutch is one of the most under-appreciated bands of the decade – if you don't own this album, BUY IT. It's well worth the sonic pleasure it will bring.True fans should seek out their newly released "Jam Room" EP. It's well worth the effort.
I've been listening to Clutch since '93, when Transnational Speedway League came out. I found their stripped-down sound to be great, but what captured my attention was the unbelievably clever lyrics. Granted, I had to follow along via liner notes as Neil Fallon's vocal chords seemed to be shredding on every other track. Clutch is, by far, the most original of bands as far as songwriting goes; they're like a white-trash version of Rush. Now with this album, it's true, much of the aggression is gone and this is far more mellow, but the witty lyrics continue to flow. 'Ship of Gold' and 'The Soapmakers' being good examples of lyrical prowess and also good jams. Lastly, if you think Clutch has taken a mellower tack, hey–I'm down with any band that can work a trombone solo into the mix. Let's see other bands do THAT! So what if they're not as aggro as they were in 1993? Hey, maybe some of 'em got married and had kids! I have since then. Leave us old farts alone!

The Chargers will have a few clear-cut objectives during their 2010 training camp. Obviously, they'll be looking to replace two key offensive players in WR Vincent Jackson and OLT Marcus McNeill, both likely to hold out into the regular season. They'll be paying close tabs to see how the defense fares after losing NT Jamal Williams and CB Antonio Cromartie. And they'll be monitoring the progress of rookies RB Ryan Mathews and SS Darrell Stuckey, both of who are slated to start.
But the Bolts also will be looking to trim players who aren't up to snuff as they attempt to select the best 53 men for their Week One roster. The way we hear it, a few established veterans could be on the chopping block with a subpar camp.
DE Alfonso Boone joined San Diego in 2009 and had a fairly productive season in limited action, but the 10th-year vet looks to be squarely on the roster bubble for the upcoming campaign. With the team already having a versatile lineman it likes in Travis Johnson, an up-and coming lineman in Vaughn Martin and the returning Ryon Bingham, who missed all of last season with injury, its depth on the line is solid. At age 34, Boone could be the odd man out.
At outside linebacker, Jyles Tucker was a major disappointment last season and might no longer be needed. Formerly thought of as a potential replacement for Shawne Merriman, Tucker was surpassed last year when the Chargers drafted Larry English, and he proceeded to have just four tackles in seven games. Only 26, he can't afford to turn in a poor August.
Maybe the most surprising player we hear is in danger of being let go is ILB Kevin Burnett. Signing with the Bolts as a free agent prior to last season, Burnett became disgruntled late in '09 as his playing time began to decrease, not ending the season on the best of terms with the club. He then underwent neck surgery in the offseason and was unable to participate in any team activities. If San Diego gets productive outings from '10 third-rounder Donald Butler and its other young inside 'backers during exhibition action, it could be enough to push the former Cowboy onto the wrong side of the bubble, especially if his neck doesn't prove to be fully healthy.

Old Town and Port, Tallinn, Estonia. Cruise ships berth at the commercial port, about a 10 minute shuttle bus ride to Mere Boulevard, near Viru Gate.
Viru Gate
Old Tallinn is actually two adjacent walled towns, the lower town (Vanalinn), which was home to the merchant class, and the upper town (Toompea) home to the ruling class. Viru Gate marks the entrance to Vanalinn. As you walk through Viru Gate your are immediately transported back in time to the medieval era. The ancient houses and narrow cobblestone streets date back to the 15th and 16th centuries, and most buildings are original, without much restoration. Viru street, Tallinn's main shopping area, starts just beyond the gate. Hand made Estonian jumpers are a favorite souvenir.
Town Square
Town Square, the center of Vanalinn, is a beautiful open space surrounded by fine old buildings. To one side of the square lies the 13th century Town Hall - a climb up its tower reveals beautiful views all around. On the other side sits a charming 15th century pharmacy, Europe's oldest.
Russian Cathedral
From the town square, if you walk up Luhike Jalg (Short Leg) you'll reach Upper town or Toompea. In front of you stands the impressive Russian Cathedral (or Alexander Nevski Cathedral), built over the grave of an Estonian hero. Though the building has connotations of Russian imperialism for many of the Estonian population.
Past the Russian Catheral lies the Toomkirk, or Dome Church. This simple building was originally constructed in the 13th century by the Danes, but was reconstructed in the 17th century after a fire. The interior walls of the church are decorated with many coats of arms, each belonging to a wealthy merchant family. After you leave be sure to stop at the nearby Patkul and Kohtuotsa viewpoints for spectacular views over the medieval town.
Great Guild Hall
From Toompea take the Pikk Jalg (Long Leg) down the hill back into Vanalinn. At the bottom of the street sits the Great Guild Hall, once the powerhouse of Vanalinn, as the meeting point for married merchants. (Unmarried men belonged to the lower order Brotherhood of the Blackheads). Today the building houses the History Museum of Estonia. Across the street from the Hall you'll find the well-loved Maiasmokk coffee shop, which opened in 1864. Drop in for a steaming hot coffee, with a delicious slice of cake.

Wiseman Ferry's son Wise Dan, shown here winning last fall's Shadwell Turf Mile at Keeneland, returns to that track this weekend for his first start of 2013 (Photo courtesy Keeneland).
Ears pricked, eyes focused, a cavalcade of future thoroughbred stars prance up the tree-lined lane and down to the famous Ballydoyle gallops. Beyond the gallops the Galtee mountains soar. From this training center in Tipperary County legendary trainers named O'Brien have sent out winners of eight Epsom Derbys, and every other race in Europe worth winning.
When Wiseman's Ferry hit those gallops in 2001 he was joined by precocious juveniles by the names of Rock of Gibraltar, Landseer and Johannesburg. Another companion that spring was Galileo who would go on to establish himself as the best three-year old in Europe.
These days Galileo is recognized as the premiere stallion in the world. He sired champions, both male and female, like he was delivering the morning paper. His 2009 stud fee was $225,000 and in both 2012 and 2013, his fee was listed as "private" by Coolmore, an honor shared by his sire Sadler's Wells.
For Wiseman's Ferry, not so much. It's been a long and winding journey to redemption. Bred in Kentucky, a handsome son of Hennessy, Wiseman's Ferry was sent to Ballydoyle and raced as a 2-year old in the dark blue silks of Mrs. John Magnier. Racing in top-flight Irish competition Wiseman's Ferry turned out to be a cut below Ballydoyle's elite runners. He was sold to an American racing syndicate where as he became a two-time American graded stakes winner during his 3-year old season.
Wiseman's Ferry started his stud career in New York, moved to Kentucky for the 2006 season with little fanfare and has stood at Gayle Gerth's Dana Point Farm in Pennsylvania since 2009. Deemed an unfashionable Pennsylvania-based stallion by most breeders, the stud fee for Wiseman's Ferry was a modest $3,500 in 2012.
All that changed last year with the brilliance of his son Wise Dan.
Blessed with an effortless stride and added maturity the versatile chestnut gelding snagged two track records in capturing five of six races (the lone loss a head bob), earning more than $3.5 million in 2012. Freaky fast, Wise Dan wrapped up his season with a brilliant turn of foot in the Breeders' Cup Mile at Santa Anita Park in a course-record time of 1:31.78.
At the Eclipse Awards ceremony in January Wise Dan swept three categories- the coveted Horse of the Year, Older Male, and Male Turf Horse - becoming the first horse to do so since the great John Henry in 1981.
Six-year old Wise Dan is slated to make his 2013 debut in $300,000 Maker's 46 Mile on Friday, April 12.
Among those rooting the loudest every time Wise Dan hits the track is the gang from Dana Point Farm. A retired successful businesswoman from Dana Point, Calif., Gayle Gerth followed her dream by purchasing a former Morgan show horse farm in tiny Lenhartsville, Pa (pop. 165) in 2008. It is one of a number of thoroughbred operations that have set up shop in the Keystone state reflecting the impact of Pennsylvania's breeder incentives and the state's burgeoning racing industry. Simply put, Gerth saw a good return on investment. The 98-acre Dana Point is 20 miles west of Allentown.
Named after a historic river crossing in New South Wales, Australia, the emergence of Wiseman's Ferry on the national stage was no surprise to Dana Point's general manager Maria Vorhauer. It was what Wiseman's Ferry had been capable of all along-- getting a top-class runner that can dominate on any surface.
"A lot of people dismissed the horse when he left Kentucky," Vorhauer recounted. "But we always believed. I've loved him since he was in New York. He's so well bred and produces such a beautiful foal that's very correct, very good looking. He has a great mind. They tend to be late maturing which isn't fashionable these days. The key is to be patient with them. These horses are sound, and they get better as they get older."
Bred in Kentucky by Nursery Place and Robert T. Manfuso, Wiseman's Ferry began his racing career for Coolmore in Ireland where he won his debut race over six furlongs at Cork in May 2001. His coat a rich chestnut, Wiseman's Ferry's best showing was runner-up to Johannesburg-- one of a vintage crop of Ballydoyle 2-year olds-- in the Group 3 Three Anglesey Stakes at the Curragh.
Clearly not on par with their top juveniles, Coolmore elected to sell Wiseman's Ferry to the partnership of Swifty Farms, Dell Ridge, and Morton Fink. They put the colt in training with Niall O'Callaghan. As a three-year-old, Wiseman's Ferry captured a wire-to-wire victory in the $500,000 Lone Star Derby and won the $600,000 West Virginia Derby, both Grade-3 events, and was beaten by only a neck in the Grade-2 $300,000 Ohio Derby.
He only ran twice as a 4-year old in 2003 with a second place in a minor race. Wiseman's Ferry injured a fetlock in a morning work and was retired to stud at Empire Farm in New York. He had scored four wins in sixteen starts and collected career earnings of $825,266.
Since relocating from Castleton Lyons to Dana Point in November 2008, Wiseman's Ferry has been among Pennsylvania's leading stallions each year. Gerth owns 51 percent of Wiseman's Ferry, with the syndicate owning the rest. Fink is among the shareholders.
Out of stakes winner Emmaus, by Silver Deputy, Wiseman's Ferry is lengthy and very strongly muscled, with the power and reach typical of the Storm Cat line. In 2012 Wiseman's Ferry stood for $3,500, covering 32 mares. This year it's $5,000 and he's booked to nearly 100 mares. He scores high marks for fertility in addition to being well behaved in the breeding shed, says Vorhauer.
"This is his best book of mares so we're expecting good things," Vorhauer related. "We're so grateful for Castleton Lyons trusting in us and giving us the opportunity, frankly that's why we're here. And to all of the shareholders that stayed in and believed in this horse. We appreciate that."
Wise Dan is not a one man band. The same 2007 crop produced Grade-2 winner Ride the River, a finalist for the 2012 Sovereign Award in Canada's champion male turf horse. He has lifetime earnings of $682,800. Other top performers include southern hemisphere champions Wiseman's Cure and Lallera Maoyorr.
Wiseman's Ferry has sired 253 foals of racing age with 205 making it to the track. Of those 205 runners, 160 have won including six stakes winners.
Through 2012 Wiseman had progeny earnings of $13,907,684 and career average earnings per starter of $67,513, thanks to Wise Dan.
Both Wise Dan and Riding the River were unraced at age 2, scoring stakes win at ages 3 and 5.
It takes time and patience with these horses and Charlie Lopresti (trainer of Wise Dan) took his time and placed him where he belonged," Vorhauer noted. "With maturity they get better and better. It might be a lesson to others to follow Charlie's path."
In January Vorhauer missed out on going the Eclipse Awards tending to Dana Point's first foal of 2013. They expect a total of 20. Vorhauer will foal them all.
"I'm still living a fantasy, you know sometimes you wake up and you want to slap yourself," Vorhauer joked. "I hope folks can see that it's not an impossible dream. We're the little engine that could. What we believed really did work out."

vacation rental description
Our 2BR2BA condo is a gorgeous corner unit in the Coronado Shores resort complex, facing south towards Mexico. We see the sun rise in the morning and often get up early to watch the sun come up over the mountains. The views -- in three directions -- are spectacular. We see the San Diego skyscrapers to the northeast; the San Diego mountains, Coronado Bridge and Glorietta Bay to the southeast; and the Navy Seals, Coronado Beach and Tiajuana to the south and southwest. We watch the sailboats on Glorietta Bay, the Navy Seals activities, and families enjoying Coronado Beach. We love to listen to the ocean, and the cross-breezes (which only corner unit condos have) are wonderfully invigorating.
Our condo has been newly renovated. In April 2012, strand bamboo flooring was laid down everywhere except in the bedrooms, which are carpetted, and the bathrooms, which are Carerra porcelain tile. In April-May 2012, the kitchen was completely renovated, with cherry cabinets crafted by a master carpenter, and accented by Volga Blue granite countertops. The colors in our condo are whites, browns and tans, with occasional touches of red. Modern art decorates the walls, together with photographs of Coronado by the owner. The atmosphere is simple, uncluttered, and welcoming. You can see more photos by googling "Coronado condo" or by going to Vox Professori and clicking the link to Coronado condo. Full-sized photos on HomeAway and Dwellable.
Our two-bedroom/two-bath condominium is a lovely corner unit condo, on Coronado Beach, in the Coronado Shores Resort Complex , just south of the Hotel Del Coronado. Coronado Island is connected to San Diego by the Coronado Bridge, nine miles from the San Diego Airport. We are university professors who rent out our condo for most of the year while we teach in Texas.
Our unit is located in the El Camino building. The El Camino building entranceway and hallways were renovated in 2011 with all new, beautiful floor tiles, carpet, wall coverings and decorations.
Our unit is 1213 square feet. Our condo has been upgraded and decorated by Coronado's best known interior decorator Michele Iacuzzo (google "Interiors by Michele"). Our condo renovations were done by Hugo Schreiner. A floor map and more photos and information about our condo are available by googling "voxprof" and "condo". Dwellable also has full-sized photos.
Our living room and dining room offer floor-to-ceiling glass windows with views of Coronado Beach/Pacific Ocean and of the San Diego Skyline / Bay/ Bridge / Mountains. (Two of the photos on this website, of San Diego Bay and Coronado Beach, were taken from the balcony of our condo.) The living room has comfortable leather chairs, a hideabed sofa, glass-topped coffee table, a desk, large TV and cabinet. The glass-topped circular dining room table and chairs seat six.
The kitchen is fully equipped (e.g., dishes, towels, small appliances, cooking supplies, cookbooks, condiments), and includes a disposal and new dishwasher. There are professional-sized washers and dryers on each floor of our building.
We have two bedrooms. The master bedroom has an ensuite bathroom and large walk-in closet. The bedroom has a new California king bed with a Sleep Therapy Aloe Vera pillow-top mattress, a desk for working, and a comfortable reading chair. The guest bedroom has a king bed that is convertible to twin beds with Sleep Therapy pillow mattresses, and a comfortable reading chair. Both bedrooms have flat screen TVs and DVD players. The living room sofa also converts to a queen-sized hideabed.
There are two bathrooms, one with a walk-in shower and one with a bathtub/shower. Both bathrooms were completely renovated in 2011 with the latest Moen fixtures (rainfall shower and separate handheld shower), custom-made solid cherry cabinets, cultured marble sinks, new lighting and Carerra Star porcelain tiles. Each condo floor has its own commercial washer and dryer; we have a small, vent-less washer/dryer combo in our unit also.
In terms of electronic equipment, there are three flat-screen, high-definition LCD TVs in the condo: 37" (living room), 32" (master bedroom) and 22" (second bedroom). The LR TV alsoi has a DVD player. DISH satellite TV (including Sirius Radio) is available on all three TVs; the DISH equipment was updated throughout the building in spring 2012. The living room TV has the top-of-the-line DISH VIP722 Digital Video Recorder (DVR), updated in August 2013, so you can record over 300 hours of TV programs, and a monthly subscription to all the DISH high definition TV stations (over 70 stations). Come back after a day of sightseeing and relax watching unlimited FREE movies selected from our condo's NETFLIX account (also HBO GO), and shown on our living room flat-screen HD TV using our Roku Player. Bring your own Wiii, Playstation or XBOX too - they are fully functional using our provided HDMI cable and HDMI switchbox.
Our unit is completely stocked with dishes, bedding, towels, beach towels, hairdryers, binoculars, maps, games, DVDs, books, guidebooks, hiking/walking tourbooks, etc. You do not need to bring any of these items.
For those who want to mix work and play, our condo has two desks (one with a LAN line) with chairs, lamps and powerbars. Our condo also has the highest speed available AT&T/SBCGLOBAL DSL wireless Internet, using the top-of-the-line Netgear 7550 DSL wireless/wired modem. Free VOIP local and long distance telephone service throughout the United States and Canada is also included.
We are told regularly that our unit is one of the choicest condo rentals because our unit was decorated by Michele Iacuzzo, our beach access is exceptionally easy (1-2 minutes to the beach!), and our bay/beach views are among the best at the Shores. We also have flat screen high-definition TVs, the newest DISH DVR and high-definition TV channels, the fastest wired/wireless internet access, and unlimited free movies using NETFLIX.
There are no other condo buildings close to us so we do not have people looking directly in at our condo. Lastly, we are not full-time landlords doing this for the rental income. We are university professors renting our condo while we teach in Texas. We are selective, looking for renters who will treat our condo as gently as their own home.
There are ten high-rise buildings in the Coronado Shores complex, each with doormen and video security. The complex includes eight tennis courts and four swimming pools/Jacuzzi. Gas barbecues and picnic tables are available for picnics by the sea. The clubhouse has pool tables, big screen TV and a bar, with an outdoor veranda on the beach, and a table tennis and recreation area where regular events (e.g. dances, card games) occur. A pavilion is available for private parties and special events (e.g. wedding receptions). A fully equipped, staffed fitness center has nautilus, weight lifting equipment and sauna/Jacuzzi. All facilities are available at no charge to tenants and their guests.

So, after years and years of waiting, Terrence Malick's long-delayed "The Tree of Life" is finally in theaters. Like, right now. In fact, today sees it expand beyond New York and L.A. to Chicago, Boston, Washington D.C, Atlanta, Minneapolis, Austin and Dallas, among others, so more and more of you will get the chance to check out a film that, while not the second coming of cinema that some were hoping for, is undoubtedly a must-see. And with that expansion underway, it seems that the typically meticulous Malick has been getting personally involved to make sure that you see it in the way he intended.
The San Diego Reader reports that Malick has written a letter -- or as the writer calls it "a fraternal salute" -- for the attention of every projectionist who'll show "The Tree of Life," asking them to take certain things into account. As he says, "Proper theatre projection is fast becoming a forgotten art." Check Malick's requests out after the jump.
1. Project the film in 1.85:1 aspect ratio
2. Set the fader on Dolby and DTS systems to 7.5 or 7.7 (higher than the standard setting of 7)
3. With no opening credits, he asks that the "lights down cue is well before the opening frame of reel 1."
4. Projection lamps should be at "Proper standard (5400 Kelvin)" and that the "foot Lambert level is at Standard 14." No, we don't understand either.
The attention to detail here is wonderful, and we imagine that at this stage of release, Malick's instructions will be followed, but we're not sure the director's romantic idea of every projectionist being like Alfredo from "Cinema Paradiso" will quite carry across to the reality of bored, badly-paid poorly-trained teenagers in multiplexes across the country, should the film end up going that wide.
In other "Tree of LIfe" news, Fandor talked to experimental filmmaker Scott Nyerges, whose short "Autumnal" had twelve seconds worth of footage sampled by Malick for his latest, with permission, obviously -- the image above, featured on the film's poster, is part of his work. Nyerges isn't used to the limelight, saying "Experimental filmmakers have a tacit understanding, that if you do this you're not going to see your name in lights."
The experimental director isn't convinced that he and his cohorts, whose work are also included in Malick's film, have received the credit they deserve in the press so far, saying that, "In the media coverage on this film no one's really mentioned that they used the work of experimental filmmakers in these sequences. This kind of filmmaking has influenced everything from commercials to music videos to movies. And now you can buy iMovie, punch a button and get an effect that took avant garde filmmakers years to develop."
But he certainly doesn't blame Malick, and calls "The Tree of LIfe" "an ambitious, lyrical, visually beautiful work. I give Malick credit for doing something very brave – essentially dropping a 20-minute experimental film in the middle of the narrative. The techniques and tropes he incorporates call to mind the work of Jordan Belson, the cinematography of 'Koyaanisqatsi' and the telescopic images of the Hubble Telescope. And I confess to the thrill of watching and waiting to see if… yes! no! wait… yes!… I could spot my small contribution to this film." Watch 'Autumnal' below, and catch 'The Tree of Life' in theaters right now.

It's too bad the Arclight in Hollywood didn't seem to get the letter. I went to see this yesterday morning, and their projector wasn't functioning properly. When I told them there was a problem, they told me they were waiting on a part. They knew there was a problem and were showing it anyway. All for the low-low price of $18 including parking.
Peyton | July 5, 2011 9:33 AM
I don't know anything about projection or aspects, but I agree about the follow-up by the filmmaker, FG. luckily the images are strong in this movie, because there was a raggedy, spotty right side through the entire thing. is that a bad film or a bad projector? would it be improved in digital? very disappointing to have such a dismal presentation of such a visually stunning movie.
Charles Everett | June 27, 2011 11:50 AM
Only 2 theaters within 75 miles of my home have "The Tree of Life" in digital projection. I was in one of those theaters yesterday and it screwed the movie up big-time. The screen was fixed in "scope" ratio (2.35:1), the previews were "windowboxed" and nobody bothered to correct anything. Not to mention there was no "in case of emergency" notice required by state law.
I | June 7, 2011 1:10 AM
Actually none of those shots were in the movie. / Sure you're not mistaken?
THIS JUST IN: Malick To Shoot Next Feature....Without Cameras.
Fredrik Gustafsson | June 4, 2011 11:40 AM
This is not that uncommon though. I've worked as a projectionist, and as one example I've once got a letter from Robert Redford about the proper way of showing "The Horse Whisperer" . George Lucas and Stanley Kubrick are two other filmmakers that have done this. Ingmar Bergman was fuzzy about screenings too. But any projetionist that doesn't know in which aspect ratio a given film is to be shown (even without a letter from the director) should be fired on the spot... Having said that, any filmmakers that take pride in their work should follow up on the way the films are being projected, and most would get depressed if they attended the screenings.
Foot lambert is the amount of light emitted from a source. The amount of light has an impact upon the quality and visibility of the images projected on the screen.

While I don't intend to seem like I'm advertising....
Machines Unbound strikes me as a series that might be interesting for anyone interested in the subject. The science aspect I imagine won't seem to be be particularly deep for readers (I have only a college background in it) but I tried to spend a good deal of time examining what it might be like to become a cyborg. To expand one's conciousness to the level that one could think on an entirely different level.
One thing noticible though in both of my novels out it is that the hero is religious (Jewish in this case) and I tried to incorporate a lot of Judeo-Christian imagery into the text.
While I'm not sure what audiences will make of it, I tried to have a running theme that religion doesn't have anything to fear from science if its true and that development may lead to a closer relationship with the divine.

The Fireman's Challenge was held Sunday in Metamora.
Area firefighters from nine departments competed in different events, such as the broken hose contest.
They had fun but also helped one of their own.
The Challenge was hosted by the Metamora/Amboy Volunteer Fire Department.
They raised money to honor Dupree Hoge, a former firefighter on their force for five years.
He's been diagnosed with a rare disease called multiple system atrophy, also known as MSA.
It's a rare neurological disease attacking his body.
Only one in 100,000 people develop MSA.
"Right now he's bedridden. So he's at home in a bed. We got a full time nurse for him during the day," said Dupree's son Alan.
Last year, the Fireman's Challenge raised money for the 911 Memorial in Wauseon.
Helping Dupree this year was a no-brainer.
"Dupree was on the fire department, and as with all fire departments, he's a fellow brother. When a brother is in need, we all come together and try to come up with a solution to the problem. We all bond together as brothers," said Jason Taylor of the Metamora/Amboy Volunteer Fire Department.
Dupree's firefighting brothers raised $5,000 on Sunday.
The money will be donated in his name to Western Michigan University for MSA research.

However, it is probably a good idea to lay off the abbreviations like 'u' and 'rite'.

Town Square
UPDATE: Middle school, youngest boy's friend start donation efforts for family displaced by house fire
Original post made on Dec 8, 2008

The Pleasanton Middle School Parent-Faculty Association is deeply saddened by the tragedy that unfolded today. We are in the process of notifying all the members of our association to donate any amount in the form of gift cards to the Zuffa family. Gift cards that can be used at any location would be preferable, but anything would be appreciated.
Cards/cash can be dropped off at the Pleasanton Middle School office.
Our thoughts and prayers are with each member of the Zuffa family.
on Dec 8, 2008 at 6:54 pm
Andrew has been spreading word about collecting cash and gift cards to be donated to the Zuffa Family.He will also bring a box to set up in the office @ PMS for clothes donations. He has recieved a tremendous amount of feedback from his fellow students all offering whatever they can do to help and he is very overwhelmed with the amount of compassion and generosity he has encountered today for Devon and his family.
Thank you,
Felicia Ochoa-Ogden (Andrew's Mom)

The outpouring of support in this town, especially involving our youth is wonderful. However, you should be reminded, this family most likely has insurance that will compensate for all their losses including food, shelter, lost clothing...everything. Those unable to give from their wallets should not feel badly.

Men's Golf in First Place After First Day of John Dallio Memorial
With five upperclassmen in the starting lineup for the first tournament of the season, the Eagles played the opening nine holes of the first round at eight-over par, but rebounded by playing the final 27 holes of the afternoon at a solid three-over par. FGCU produced a team score of 297 in the morning session and then came on to shoot a 290 (+2) in the second round, the second-best round of the day.
Led by first-year head coach Brent Jensen, FGCU's team score of 587 (297-290) over the opening two rounds is currently six strokes better than Detroit (593) and Loyola-Chicago (593), who are tied for second place. IUPUI (594) and Eastern Illinois (596) round out the top five from day one.
"We got off to a rough start, but I'm pleased that we hung tough," said Jensen, who was making his head coaching debut in his hometown of Chicago. "We fought through the shaky start and some shaky weather for a great final 27 holes. It's always important to improve in round two because it gives you good momentum going into the final day. We had some guys step up big with-even par rounds, while others finished real strong. It was a great team effort."
All five members of the FGCU squad finished in the top 25 in the field of 73, led by senior Daniel Mazziotta (Fort Myers, Fla./Cypress Lake HS) who sits in a six-way tie for fifth place. Mazziotta had an up-and-down morning round that featured six birdies, six bogeys and a double-bogey that resulted in a two-over par 74. Mazziotta turned in an even-par 72 in round two, including a bogey-free, three-under par 33 on the back. For the day, Mazziotta's 74-72/146 on the par 72, 6,898-yard course featured nine birdies, as he played the four par 5s at an impressive five-under par.
Junior and fellow Fort Myers product Alex Medinis (Fort Myers, Fla./Fort Myers HS) and classmate Brandon Pena (Clewiston, Fla./Clewiston HS) each turned in two-round 148s to make up half of a four-way tie for 12th position in the individual standings. Medinis produced a tournament-best 25 pars on the day, including 11 in his opening round even-par 72 that preceded a 76 in the afternoon. Medinis was one of 10 players to finish at even-par or better on the par 3s, while Pena was amongst the leaders in birdies (7) and par 4 scoring (+2). Pena played the course's back nine at one-under for the day to finish with a 75-73/148.
Senior Gyles Robin (Jersey, England/De La Salle College) produced a counting score in each round with a 76-73/149 to sit in a tie for 16th position. Like Pena, Robin excelled on the back nine by playing the shorter portion of the course at two-over par over the two rounds. Robin's one-over par 73 in the second round featured four birdies, as he played the par 5s at two-under for the day.
After playing the opening nine holes of the day at seven-over par, junior Jeremy Self (Tupelo, Miss./Tupelo HS) responded in a big way by playing the final 27 holes at even-par. Self salvaged an opening round 79 by playing the back nine at even-par and then carried the momentum over into the afternoon where he equaled the team's best round of the day with an even-par 72. Self currently sits in a tie for 25th place at 79-72/151.
The 54-hole tournament will conclude on Sunday with FGCU going off from the first tee from 8:18 a.m.-8:54 a.m. The Eagles will be playing alongside Detroit for the second straight day and Loyola-Chicago.

We were able to go directly to our cabin and change to cooler clothing. Lunch was at one of the buffets which happened to be only 1 floor up from our cabin. The buffet set up was close and cramped with one way in and one way out. If you forgot something you had to go a long way around to the other side to get in. Staff were sometimes available to help carry food for those in need. Everyone was handed a plate and cutlery, but allowed to serve themselves. Salt and pepper was only available at entry. I much prefer open buffets so the 3 tiny ones on the Crown took a lot of getting used to.
We had anytime dining. The pro was flexibility. The cons included waits to get into the dining rooms though we never experienced the hour long waits others wrote about. We ate in the Michelangelo 3 times, mainly because of the slow impersonal service the first 2 times. It took more than 2 hours to finish dinner. The wait staff were at times unfriendly and abrupt and not interested in us at all. We did have wonderful table mates each time.
Activities on board were the usual cruise fare. The biggest downside was the number of trivia games. There was not enough variety and seemed to cater the older crowd.
One observation made by me and another cruiser was the age of most of the passengers. More of the "Betty White" crowd.
The casino was too small with limited variety of machines. Bingo was better than most cruise ships.
Entertainment was mostly boring. The comedic duo was entertaining, but had a lot of stereotype jokes. Singers were poor.
Room was small for a balcony. Room steward did good job.
Disembarkation was quick and organized, though it was hard taking suitcase down stairs, elevators were not an option.
Most passengers on ship were friendly as well as staff. All and all not sure about another Princess cruise.....but who knows.
