Commercial Metals,
Joe Alvarado,
Architecture Billings Index,
merchant bars
NEW YORK Flat construction markets and import pressure could prevent Commercial Metals Co. (CMC) from seeing dramatic improvements in business in the coming months, chairman, president and chief executive officer Joseph Alvarado said during a June 27 earnings conference call.
Alvarado expects to see a "sideways market" in the months ahead as demand for rebar remains spotty and merchant bar imports depress product margins, even as the company remains profitable (amm.com, June 27).
"This has remained an attractive market, including for merchant products coming from south of the border," Alvarado said. "In particular, thats where the imports are coming from. The impact has been on volume but even more significantly on pricing."
CMC saw a 20-percent increase in merchant and structural product shipments in its fiscal third quarter ended May 31 compared with the same period last year. Average mill selling prices across all products declined to $671 per ton from $715 a year earlier, a decrease due in part to import pressure, the Irving, Texas-based company said.
Rebar shipment volumes improved slightly in the quarter compared with a year ago, but the construction markets have shown uneven improvement, with certain segments outperforming others.
"The way we describe our market base is (that) Texas has always been a stronghold for us, and it has remained a strong construction market, albeit (with) more highway work than nonresidential over the last couple of years. But nonresidential construction continues to strengthen," Alvarado said. "Between Texas and California or between Texas and southern Florida or between southern Florida and the Mid-Atlantica lot of those markets still remain fairly flat and not nearly as robust in construction activity."
Predictions earlier in the year that nonresidential construction would begin to pick up havent yet been realized, despite months of positive construction data. The Architecture Billings Index (ABI), a leading indicator of construction activity, dipped below 50 in April for the first time in eight months, indicating a decline in construction spending, although the index bounced back to 52.9 in May.
Residential construction is widely seen as a leading indicator of nonresidential construction. "Until we see broader economic recovery and broader construction, its hard to surmise whats going to drive confidence enough to see investors investing in nonresidential beyond just residential construction improving," Alvarado said.

Keep it simple, Sally.
The official government story is full of big holes. Start there, and say that a new investigation is needed. Who knows who did what, but what is known is that the government is lying about what really happened. They are complicit in the coverup. Their story, even though they are the ones that have suppressed the evidence that would answer many of the questions, does not support the existing evidence.

"As Canadian lakes have become more acidic, they've become increasingly dominated by jelly-like plankton that are throwing things out of whack, new research suggests. And these gummy invaders aren't going anywhere. Soon, they could even disrupt the country's water supply."
"Documents obtained by Greenpeace detail a desperate astroturf PR strategy designed by Edelman for TransCanada to win public support for its Energy East tar sands export pipeline. TransCanada has failed for years to win approval of the controversial border-crossing Keystone XL pipeline, so apparently the company has decided to 'win ugly or lose pretty' with an aggressive public relations attack on its opponents."
"The U.S. State Department must halt plans to expand an oil sands pipeline route from Canada to Wisconsin until possible environmental harm has been closely studied, several green groups said in a lawsuit filed on Wednesday."
"Potash Corp of Saskatchewan Inc agreed to spend more than $52 million on plant improvements and pay a $1.3 million civil penalty to resolve U.S. charges that it violated the Clean Air Act over the emission of harmful pollutants such as sulfur dioxide, U.S. authorities said."

"Although Royal/T's Culver City location will be closing after five amazing years, this moment marks an exciting time for an expansion on what Royal/T has always done," says owner Susan Hancock. "Royal/T will be announcing in the near future an upcoming series of roaming special events, exhibits, shows, brand partnerships and pop-ups in Los Angeles and around the world, so please stay tuned."
An official closing date has not been announced, but the venue's final show, "The Art of Cooking" will run April 27 through Aug. 1.
Royal/T's events ran the gamut from famed chef Ludovic Lefebvre's LudoBites to last weekend's sneak preview of the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic season finale. Beyond that, the venue became a meeting spot for a fashionable L.A. youth culture that has its roots in anime conventions but evolved into its own, distinct scene. Japanese singers like Kanon Wakeshima and Kyary Pamyu Pamyu played here. Dance club Tune in Tokyo moved to Royal/T last year and flourished. I made it out to a lot of these events and below are my five favorites.5. Kanon Wakeshima makes her L.A. debut
There was no doubt that Kanon Wakeshima's first show in Los Angeles would be a hit. The Japanese singer/cellist embraces the Gothic and elegant Gothic Lolita (EGL) look that was gaining popularity in Los Angeles in 2009. She worked with visual kei star/fashion designer/EGL originator Mana and her music was featured in the popular anime series Vampire Knight. But the turnout for Wakeshima exceeded my own expectations on that scorching July day when the back room of Royal/T was so packed that it was hard to see the performance. The crowd seemed enamored by Wakeshima, with many people staying beyond the performance to buy her illustrations and meet the artist.

L.A.-based artist Onch has gone from appearing on the reality show Paris Hilton's My New BFF to designing accessories that appear on celebrities like Nicki Minaj. He relishes cute, quirky designs that make a statement and poured a ton of whimsy into his Royal/T pop-up shop last summer. Onch brought in a mermaid and a unicorn for the event and debuted new projects, like the "Tentacle Woman" necklaces he created with fellow artist Misha.

Yesterday afternoon, comScore announced the latest rankings in the financial news and research site category, which attracted more than 64 million U.S. visitors in May, an increase of 35 percent versus year ago.
Yahoo! Finance was the leader in the category during May with 18.5 million visitors, up 58 percent versus year ago, followed by AOL Money & Finance with 15.2 million visitors (up 48 percent) and MSN Money with 13.7 million visitors (up 13 percent).
Here are the top 10 Financial News and Research Sites:
Total Unique Visitors (millions) May 2008
1. Yahoo! Finance 18.5
2. AOL Money & Finance 15.2
3. MSN Money 13.7
4. Forbes Property 7.0
5. Dow Jones & Company 6.6
6. CNN Money 6.0
8. TheStreet.com Sites 5.3
9. Reuters Sites 4.8
10. Reed Business Information 3.8
The category displayed visitor growth across virtually all demographic segments. However, certain segments contributed more than others.
The number of visitors to the category age 50 and older grew 46 percent versus year ago, while visitors under 50 grew by 32 percent. Above average growth was also seen in the following segments: households earning at least $60,000 annually (40 percent), households with children (38 percent) and households with at least 5 people (57 percent).
In other words, the segments displaying the greatest growth are those more likely to have greater financial responsibilities or challenges, such as paying for their kids to go to college, or needing to figure out how best to handle rapidly escalating monthly payments on home mortgages. And don't get me started on rising gas prices.
Why should search engine marketers pay attention to this trend? Check out your favorite financial news site, search for a couple of publicly traded companies, and see how many press releases you can find in the results. Most of them have been distributed by Business Wire, Marketwire, PrimeNewswire and PR Newswire.

And some of them might even go on to become pilots.
The students were at Courtright Field, where pilots soar without leaving the ground.
The field, two miles north of Hot Lake, is where radio-controlled scale-model airplanes are flown. Members of the Grande Ronde Bush Pilots shared the secrets of flying radio controlled planes with the students.
Based on the breathless expressions on the faces of many of the students, the club members succeeded in capturing the imaginations of more than a few children.
"We wanted to introduce them to the fun and excitement of flying. Several who started flying here when they were young went on to become commercial pilots,'' said Dave Campbell of the Grande Ronde Bush Pilots.
Radio controlled planes are flown with transmitters that send a signal to a receiver in the scale-model airplanes. Pilots manipulate control sticks to operate their planes.
Campbell let Willow students move the control sticks with him as he flew planes. The experience put their dexterity to the test.
"Kids pick this up well because their hand-eye coordination is better because they are younger'' said Campbell, the owner of the owner of the Hobby Habit.
Willow kindergarten student Damon Smaage said the chance to help fly the planes was the most enjoyable part of his experience Friday at Courtright Field.
Tim Thomas, a Willow fifth-grader, was impressed with how responsive the control sticks are.
"You barely tap it and the plane goes woooof,'' the fifth-grader said.
The plane that the Willow students helped fly reached about 300 to 400 feet above the valley floor. At no time did Campbell take his eyes off the plane he was flying.
"If you take your eyes off the plane, you will lose sight of it,'' Campbell said.
Pilots of the small planes cannot even look down at their control box.
"If you take your eye off the plane, you will turn around and think where's the plane?' '' said Loren Wagoner of the Grande Ronde Bush Pilots.
He said that flying a plane is a little like touch typing, in that one does not have to look at the keyboard.
The need for intense concentration makes the activity challenging and appealing.
"You have to take your mind off whatever is bothering you. You have to,'' said Bush Pilots member Lonny Shoup.
He compared it to driving a car 200 miles an hour. A momentary lapse in concentration will doom the driver.
Shoup has been flying planes for just a month but he is hooked.
"I fell in love with it. It is addictive,'' he said.
In addition to Shoup, Campbell and Wagoner, Ron Kiesel, president of the Grande Ronde Bush Pilots, also assisted with Friday's instruction of the Willow students.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

On the Season 1 finale of "Last Week Tonight" John Oliver covered a news story about a company which has constructed a "salmon cannon" to fire salmon over a damn wall to help them on their way up stream to spawn.
Naturally John and the crew constructed their very own "salmon cannon", but instead of firing the 'stupid fish that doesn't know how rivers work' up stream, he fired salmon into the face of just about every television personality he knows, from Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert to Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, David Letterman, Wanda Sykes, Tom Hanks and even poor old Homer Simpson and R2D2 took walloping.

"These labels came quickly and packaging was protected great. They were very easy to order , instructions were clear! Nice quality labels and was perfect for a New Home Gift!"
"Absolutely LOVE these! They are a bit bigger, just a side note, but that makes them even more unique! LOVE them- reordering more!"
"This would have to be my favorite return address label I have ordered so far! It is totally me and I love being able to put my personality on the outside of my envelope."
"I just moved to Florida so I thought this would be perfect for sending mail home.. and it is! It's a way for me to share Florida with everyone back at home."
"These traditional return address labels are very elegant and have a touch of an era gone by. At first I thought the dark outer border would be too much and make the label look heavy, but half of the label stays with the paper, so the size is less thick. I really love these labels and will get some more for the Holidays"

Fear can be your foe or your friend. When you find yourself in the path of a frightening storm - whether figurative or literal - fear can be a paralyzing force spiraling you down into the depths of darkness ... or a propelling motivator moving you to higher ground. As the storm approaches, fear can be like a deadbolt lock keeping your mind confined ... or like a loud alarm warning you to move to safety. What role does fear have in your life? Immobilizer or energizer ... foe or friend? What you do in the face of fear identifies its role in your life. Instead of being paralyzed by fear, allow your fear to move you to entrust your life to the Lord. Come to see the Lord as your only place of safety. He promises that He will not only be with you, but that He will also lead you through your fear.
"Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze."
(Isaiah 43:1-2)
Your habits characterize your character. If you are a Christian, your calling is to be clothed in the habit of Christ, with the result that your character actually reflects His character.
Even when there are valid reasons to feel hurt, and even when the other person is undeserving, the spirit of reconciliation reflects the heart of God. In this resource, learn how to prepare your heart to resolve differences and allow God to reveal the road to reconciliation in your relationships today.

A Westmoreland County collector has asked about her footed Nippon dish with its perforated holes in the bottom, an item she acquired at an estate sale. She has not seen any like it previously, and questions why the holes are there.
Nippon refers to the Japanese porcelain made for export, principally to the United States, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. For a long time, collectors eschewed it, thinking it was cheap and not significant, consequently, it brought very little on the market.
About 30 years ago it came into its own, and today is highly desirable. It always sells well, whether in shops, at estate sales or at auctions. The more extensive the decoration, the better as far as price goes. Ironically, it is especially popular in the South. I know some collectors who have hundreds of pieces, but they are individuals who insist that their pieces be perfect. Damaged Nippon is virtually impossible to sell, and unless it is artist-signed, the cost of professional restoration is beyond feasibility.

This platter comes from a family in Northumberland County. It is black-on-white transfer, and hallmarked simply "New York." Clearly it is a view of Lower Manhattan, dating from the 1840s. The platter was damaged, and the cracks and holes have been restored, but not painted. The owner questions whether to have them painted or not.
This platter is typical of the Staffordshire production of the mid-19th century. The black-on-white finish makes a clear impression, as opposed to some pieces with paler and more muted tones, such as violet or light blue. The design is quite good, and if I had the choice and the money, I should go for the re-painting. Under black light the restoration still will show, but once re-painted the piece will display more effectively.

This week we have a Chinese Export teapot from a family in Northumberland County. It came from an estate sale, on the last day when prices had been reduced. The owner assumed it had not sold because the handle had been repaired, and bought it for $5.
This teapot dates from the early 19th century, a time when the citizens of the young Republic were achieving a level of affluence whereby they could afford to import from China. Most people considered having Chinese export pieces in their homes to be a mark of distinction. Certainly this piece was part of a larger tea service.
The repair is typical of that done in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, in that it consists of using metal staples and a composition to hold the sections together. The process was quite expensive, and it too connoted an indication of a family's wealth. From the appearance of the repair, I would surmise that it was done to make the piece useful once again, rather than merely to make it look better when displayed.
Chinese Export is a term which describes the porcelain made in China for export to America or Europe. The texture of the make-up and the smoothness of the finish were pleasing to foreign eyes and soon makers in England began copying the Chinese. Lowestoft became the center of British manufacture of Chinese-style china.
In perfect condition this 1810 teapot would be worth $400, but the repair eviscerates that sum, despite having cost dearly itself. As is, the value is $90, but on the right day at the right auction a knowledgeable collector might go higher. The perfect pieces are few in number and are competitive in any market where they appear. I have sold good teapots for as much as $700.
Happy antiquing!

This simple, primitive New England Hepplewhite table comes from a lady whose late father inherited it. The wood is maple, and the originality of the finish is in question.
The peg construction remains the vehicle for holding the boards together, as succeeding generations have not added nails to support it. The condition is good, and the table is sturdy. The table does not have a drawer.
Tables of this variety are not rare, but this one is quite nice. The tone of the wood is excellent, and whether the finish is original or not, the present version is attractive. I strongly recommend against refinishing the present surface.

These two chairs come from a home in New England, and have been in the same family, that of a lady from Virginia, since the nineteenth century. They retain the original green paint, as well as the original stenciling, which fortunately has not been retouched. Each still is sturdy, and is in daily use.
The chairs date from the period from 1820 to 1840, and most likely are of new Hampshire origin. Painted furniture flourished in the Granite State, to such an extent that it was a worthy rival of Baltimore, the Queen of American Painted Furniture.
Painting furniture was a way of overcoming the appearance of having used mixed woods in construction. I suspect that these chairs are composed of pine, maple and hickory. By painting them, they achieved a uniformity of design. Also, people could order the painted furniture in the colors they wanted to meet the needs of their décor.
Clearly, these were part of a larger suite of six or eight chairs intended for use in the dining room. The group also might have included a table, server and sideboard. Possibly such pieces could have parted company in estate divisions over the years. The scoring on the legs, and rails, the stenciling on the crests, vase-splat back and front of the seat is excellent, and the green tone is typical of the second quarter of the nineteenth century.
The chairs are worth $450 for the pair, partly because they are in such good condition, but also because they are from a genre, which is particularly high in demand at present. I suggest keeping them in as close to original condition as possible. I offer this advice inasmuch as I have seen hundreds of similar pieces which have been stripped by folks who thought they were increasing their value. These are wonderful pieces of Americana.
Happy Antiquing...

Little Italy
The heart of this well-known Italian neighborhood is Mulberry Street. Years ago, the vast majority of people who lived here were Italian, but expansion of Chinatown and Italian migration to the suburbs has changed the make-up of the neighborhood. Still, cafes, restaurants and bakeries line the street. Take a walk and smell the fresh baked bread, garlic and sauces. Stop for a glass of wine or tiramisu at a sidewalk cafe, or gorge on the salamis hanging from store windows.
