Review: Splintered by A.G. Howard
Title & Author: Splintered by A.G. Howard
Published: 2013
Pages: 371 (Amulet Books, 2013)
Read: 3/2/13 - 13/2/13
Series: N/A
Challenge(s): 2013 Debut Author Challenge
Source: Owned book
Synopsis: Alyssa Gardner hears the whispers of bugs and flowers—precisely the affliction that landed her mother in a mental hospital years before. This family curse stretches back to her ancestor Alice Liddell, the real-life inspiration for Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Alyssa might be crazy, but she manages to keep it together. For now.
When her mother's mental health takes a turn for the worse, Alyssa learns that what she thought was fiction is based in terrifying reality. The real Wonderland is a place far darker and more twisted than Lewis Carroll ever let on. There, Alyssa must pass a series of tests, including draining an ocean of Alice's tears, waking the slumbering tea party, and subduing a vicious bandersnatch, to fix Alice's mistakes and save her family. She must also decide whom to trust: Jeb, her gorgeous best friend and secret crush, or the sexy but suspicious Morpheus, her guide through Wonderland, who may have dark motives of his own.(from Goodreads)
Loved/liked: Loved. This was actually one of the January debuts I passed over when I did my initial list, which now seems mad as this is so good. I'm glad it was picked as the Debut Author Challenge's book club book for February or I might not have read it, which would be a shame as I really enjoyed the read.
I have to admit, one of the things that made me a tad wary was the love triangle. It's right there in the synopsis and I was sure it would irritate me but no! I actually liked it, mostly because a) it made sense, b) it didn't dominate the whole damn plot, and c) I agreed with the outcome, which didn't feel forced. It was what I was rooting for throughout, which was nice (usually I pick the 'losing' guy).
The writing is gorgeous, the reimagining of Wonderland superb, and the characters all well-rounded. I liked Alyssa and rooted for her, and her evolution from freaked out teenager to total badass is believable and awesome. Both guys - Jeb and Morpheus - are great, and while I won't say which one I wanted to 'win' the love triangle I didn't feel that either didn't deserve to. Plus, Morpheus has various hats to suit his mood and/or the occasion, which is something I adored.
Basically, I loved this book and am finding it a bit tricky to put that into words without potentially ruining the whole dame plot. It's the sort of book I want to babble about to someone who's also read it, to point at favourite bits and discuss the sheer wonderful weirdness that was this take on Wonderland.
Problems/issues: None. The length of time it took me to read it was entirely my own fault; whenever I read the book I couldn't put it down. It's only not a 10/10 because, as much as I liked it, I didn't love it as much as I love my favourite books (which is, again, entirely on me).
Extra Awesome: Court intrigue, flying, hats for every occasion, weirdness everywhere.
Do I want more? Definitely. This isn't a series - though there is the potential for a sequel at the end, it's just something mentioned in passing - but I will be reading A.G. Howard's next book for sure (whenever that is *peers at Goodreads author page*).
Do I recommend it? Yes. Especially if you like darker, twistier fantasy - I'm thinking Holly Black and Melissa Marr, the sort of books that occasionally make me go "oh, that's nasty"...but not so nasty that I stop reading. Also, there are hats for specific events which is something I need in my life.

Review: The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas
Title & Author: The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas
Published: 1844
Pages: 720 (Penguin, 1982)
Read: 13/01/13 - 23/01/13
Series: The D'Artagnan Romances #1
Challenge(s): Project Fill in the Gaps
Status: Owned book
Synopsis: One of the most celebrated and popular historical romances ever written, The Three Musketeers tell the story of the early adventures of the young Gascon gentleman D'Artagan and his three friends from the regiment of the King's Musketeers - Athos,Porthos and Aramis.
Under the watchful eye of their patron M. de Treville, the four defend the honour of the regiment against the guards of the Cardinal Richelieu, and the honour of the queen against the machinations of the Cardinal himself as the power struggles of seventeenth-century France are vividly played out in the background. (from Goodreads)
Review: I have to admit, much of my knowledge of this book comes from the adaptations of it, especially the cartoon Dogtanian (what? It was a favourite of mine as a kid. And my friend who is Dumas obsessed says it's probably the most faithful adaptation she's ever watched). So while I knew the gist of the story going in I wasn't prepared for how dark the book would get - the ending if more tragedy than comedy - or how daft the Musketeers frequently were when it came to anything involving money. They may have been living the lives of seventeenth century heroes, but they could have at least tried to have some money set by for (picking an example purely at random) buying the equipment they'd need to go to war. Seriously, guys, think ahead.
The plot itself will be familiar to most: D'Artagnan, a young hot-headed Gascon, travels to Paris to seek his fortune as a member of the King's Musketeers. He finds out that he can't just wander in and become a Musketeer, and in the course of discovering this he ends up challenging three of the other Musketeers to consecutive duels. These fights don't actually come off because the four of them are attacked by the Cardinal's guards and I thought the 1970s adaptation (with Michael Yorke as D'Artagnan) was exaggerating how many sword fights these guys get into but it is constant. Anyone who so much as looks at them funny is challenged to a duel. I think it's possibly this that helps them all become friends, though part of it is probably also the aforementioned inability to save money when they could be out drinking and gambling.
A vast chunk of plot was unfamiliar, however, and this is the part that makes the book so good: Milady and her machinations. The Cardinal isn't as sinister as I was expecting, but Milady is (as the book frequently puts it) a fiend from hell. The Musketeers may challenge those who slight them to duels; Milady simply kills anyone in her way, usually with poison or by getting someone else to do it. She is devious and tricksy and fabulous, and there are so many awesome revelations about her that I'm just going to say you need to read the book because I am not spoiling. The end is dark and reminded me of the darker moments of The Count of Monte Cristo - I genuinely didn't expect it to end that way, or that brutally.
The Three Musketeers is one of those books that I thought I knew, but I was still surprised by it. Well worth reading for the swashbuckling romance alone, it's also a fantastic story that - as usual with Dumas - keeps you turning the pages so quickly that it's size feels less daunting.

Bout of Books 6.0: Wrap Up
Bout of Books 6.0 has come to an end and I'm going to detail my achievements. My goals are here and my progress here (I didn't update over the weekend so it has that information newly added).
My goal was to read 5 books, which I did (pretty much). There's a graphic novel in there, and I did also reread a book so my total is technically 6 although I was thinking that I should read 5 new books. I'm counting my final score as 5.
Books Read
1. Blackwood by Gwenda Bond
2. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams
3. If I Stay by Gayle Forman
4. Where She Went by Gayle Forman
5. Astonishing X-Men #5 vol 1: Gifted by Joss Whedon
Total pages = 1,333
Also Read
- The first 125 pages of The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han. I wasn't really in the mood for this book so officially paused it on Saturday. I do want to go back to it, but it wasn't right for me at present.
- I reread Witches Abroad by Terry Pratchett just because. I always have at least one reread on the go, even when I feel like I should be sticking to new stuff (286 pages).
Including these = 6 books read; 1,619 pages
I really liked doing Bout of Books, and will definitely do the next one when I will participate more. Twitter chats, yay!

2013 Tudor Reading Challenge
The Tudor Reading Challenge is being hosted by Amber at The Musings of ALMYBNENR. I am signing up because I love me some Tudor reading, and because this will give me a kick to finish a series I love that has just been sitting there on my shelf for months. There are different levels and I'm going for Henry VIII (Defender of the Faith): 10 books. While we don't need to list our books beforehand, the ones I have in mind to (re)read and review number 11 so that seems like a good level to aim for.
I'll be listing books read with links to their reviews below.

Buckets Of Fun
After several years of planning, the city of Chandler, Ariz., unveiled its new state-of-the-art Mesquite Groves Aquatic Center in July 2008. Operated jointly with the Chandler Unified School District (CUSD), the facility made a big impact in its first full year of operation by providing year-round classes, programs and events to more than 190,000 visitors. Located adjacent to Basha High School, the city's sixth aquatic center is the first phase of a 100-acre community park that will be developed in … Continue reading

A Delicate Balance
The growing attraction of waterparks and interactive aquatic play features provides lots of fun and excitement for families. Children especially enjoy the unique play features and bubbling water actions in the safe comfort of shallow water. But it is a daily balancing act for pool operators to maintain healthy venues. These facilities present a distinctive set of water-quality issues, and require constant monitoring. Because of the sheer size, complexity and number of visitors at waterparks, the risk factors are increased … Continue reading

Almost 24-hours after the arrival of the royal baby was officially announced, Kate Middleton and Prince William stepped outside St. Mary's hospital in London to introduce the world to their adorable 8-pound, 6-ounce baby boy. As we all watched in awe -- seriously, could they be a cuter new family? -- we couldn't help feel a sense of nostalgia.
Thirty one years ago, Princess Diana and Prince Charles made an eerily similar exit from the same hospital when Prince William was born. Kate even wore a blue polka-dotted dress, just like Diana. We can't wait to see the other ways that they honor the little prince's late grandmother. (Maybe in the baby's name?)
Look at just how alike the two grand reveals were in the photos below. One big difference -- Kate claimed Will's already changed his first nappie (find out what that is here), something we're pretty sure Diana didn't discuss on the hospital steps.

Labor Medications: How Can They Affect Your Baby?
I am 29 weeks pregnant. I am wondering what drugs are available and how they might affect my baby?Question:
Peg Plumbo CNM
Peg Plumbo has been a certified nurse-midwife (CNM) since 1976. She has assisted at over 1,000 births and currently teaches in the... Read more
I'd love to expound on all of the drugs used for labor and delivery but books have been written on this topic. In addition, medications vary by locality and differ greatly depending upon the medical center you choose and the type of care provider. I do have some general guidelines, however.
All drugs cross the placenta to the baby, and therefore it makes sense to use them only when necessary, and in the smallest yet the most effective dosages. Nubain and Demerol, for example, are common medications to give in labor. They are given in small dosages but they do tend to decrease the effort of the uterus and they may make the baby sleepy if given too close to the delivery.
Breastfeeding studies have demonstrated that the sucking reflex is also decreased with the use of labor pain medications.
Intrathecal morphine is a newer system of pain relief which is gaining wider acceptance. Morphine is instilled through a catheter into the space next to, but not within, the spinal cord in the lumbar region. Fetal effects are minimal and the mother attains excellent pain relief without losing uterine effort while still maintaining the pushing reflex. Side effects include itching and nausea in some clients.
It would be wise to find out the typical methods and medications of pain relief offered by your provider and see what input you as a client have in the decision. For example, if your physician advocates the use of epidurals, the chances of his or her clients getting one in labor is quite high. Women in labor are very vulnerable and many will go along with whatever their provider thinks is best. It is best to make some general decisions ahead of time and see what you doctor thinks of your plan.Answer:

Make Way Partners in [North] and South Sudan
Since 2005, Make Way Partners has been building the only Christ-centered, indigenously-directed orphan care network in the warzones and lawless lands of the Republic of the Sudan and the Republic of South Sudan, Africa.
When Britain withdrew from Sudan in 1956, both [North] and South Sudan suffered Christian persecution, modern-day slavery and genocide at the hands of a brutal, invading and radical Islamic regime. The "perfect storm" of genocide, corruption, and poverty has resulted in Sudan holding one of the highest per capita rates for human trafficking in the world while South Sudan ranks as one of the poorest nations in the world. Women and children are the most vulnerable with orphans being the primary target of slave raiders.
Through our Anti-Trafficking Network, the primary mission of Make Way Partners is to protect unadoptable orphans through Christ-centered orphan homes, schools, medical network and other necessary infrastructures. Through partnerships we participate in the building of long term, indigenous discipleship and relief ministries providing opportunities for hope and healing.

New site helps people get nursing education despite difficult entry requirements at traditional schools.
— Many news reports say that there's still a nursing shortage, but according to Fierce Healthcare, the real problem is a shortage of openings at nursing schools. This, in turn, is caused by a lack of professors entering the field of nursing education. Emma Holmes, a representative of Nfwbo.Org (http://www.nfwbo.org) announced that the site is making it easier for nursing students to find schools, programs, and classes in the field.
"Many nursing students and would-be students don't realize how many different options there are for learning in this field," Holmes explains. "This causes some of them to give up on nursing after finding only a few schools booked solid. We want people to know that a shortage of educators at one institution doesn't mean that there's no hope for getting a nursing education."
A look at the site reveals that it has extensive information on a wide variety of possibilities. Traditional nursing programs occupy just one section of the wide-ranging site. Other options include specialist programs, online nursing programs, and continuing education opportunities for those who already have their licenses.
People in nursing have questions about the online programs, such as how to avoid fly-by-night operators and just how students can gain the required hands-on experience that licensing boards require. Holmes is happy to answer all questions about these issues. "The key factor to look for in an online nursing program is accreditation," she tells us. "This helps ensure that the program's diploma is worth something."
"Clinical experience requirements are satisfied by partnerships between online schools and local health care facilities," she continued. "This allows students to get the mandated real-world experience without having to commit to extensive travel."
Some people are interested in nursing, but aren't sure if they want to take the leap to become a registered nurse. Holmes discussed options for these people. "One of the best options for someone who wants to test the waters or who just doesn't want the stress of registered nursing is to become a CNA, or Certified Nursing Assistant (http://www.nfwbo.org/certified-nursing-assistant)," she suggests. "CNA training classes provide marketable skills in the health care field in a shorter period of time than otherwise possible. There are also plenty of job opportunities for CNAs."
"These are just some of the options our site lets would-be nursing students know about," Holmes concluded. "In this age of tough traditional nursing school admissions, we believe that it's important for people to know about all possible options. This can make the difference between being able to pursue a nursing career and having to go into an unrelated field."
About Nfwbo.Org
Nfwbo.org is a site that gives extensive information about educational opportunities in the nursing field such as registered nursing programs, CNA programs, and online schools. Its goal is to let those interested in nursing education know all of their options so that they can achieve their educational goals despite the shortage in nursing professors.

Helping Make Wishes Come True With Make-A-Wish & Royal Caribbean
As the contact person for these families, I can tell you that I never have the same experience twice. Every family is unique in their story and they all want something different out of their vacation. Some families are happy just to have me as someone they can refer to for information; others want me to share in some of the experiences with their family and others want to be involved in Make-A-Wish fundraising onboard. We've had family members make speeches to thank the entire ship during the fundraising activities. But one thing every family has in common is that it is an emotional time and seeing the smiles on the children's faces is something that brings tears at some point during their cruise vacation.
It's hard not to feel part of something very important especially when some families start to become emotional while telling me their story and explaining why this cruise vacation was so important to them. For most parents, seeing their children smile and laugh is a wish within itself as for the first time in years they see their child is the same happy upbeat person they were prior to undergoing treatment. It never fails to amaze me when I hear of the bravery of these children. I take great joy in being able to be a part of their wish and in just one week I get to go from being a complete stranger to the person included in their vacation pictures and part of their everlasting memories.

"Each window is dedicated to portray a much loved custom." The revolving windows feature a Victorian box, musical notes, Frosty the Snowman and a couple kissing underneath the mistletoe. But creating the dazzling displays also came with a not-so-favorite moment.

I substituted the fresh yeast for 6 3/4 tsp instant dry yeast since i couldn't find fresh yeast where i live, and they were still excellent.Definitely making them again...soon."

After a week in which Apple released both an update to iOS 5 (iOS 5.1) and announced information about the next iPad, many have been talking about Apple's decision to seemingly ditch the iPad numbering system. That's because the upcoming iPad isn't called the iPad 3; rather, it is simply known as the new iPad. Now we're hearing that the iPhone and perhaps even the next iPod Touch may follow in the iPad's footsteps with a change to the product name.
iPhone 5 Called the New iPhone?
Ever since the introduction of the original iPhone way back in 2007, Apple has followed a numbering system with their new iPhone releases. Following the original iPhone was the 3G, then the 3GS, then the 4, and then, of course, the 4S last year. It's for this reason that many people (including iphone5latest.com) expected Apple to follow this naming pattern and call the upcoming iPhone the iPhone 5.
However, given the iPad bombshell this week and what a reliable source told 9to5mac.com, it's looking like the upcoming iPhone will merely be called the New iPhone. And because Apple likes to be consistent, the next iPod Touch probably won't be the iPod Touch 5–instead, it will likely be called the new iPod Touch.
It's worth mentioning that 9to5mac.com actually received this tip a couple weeks ago–but didn't report on it because, at the time, they found it to be a bit far fetched. However, with the iPad announcement this week, they now feel it holds more weight.
What's Wrong With Calling the iPhone 5 the "New iPhone"
We can certainly understand why Apple may be getting tired of the numbering system. It can be a bit repetitious to simply tack a new number onto the end of the iPhone for a particular year and call it good. Plus, Apple likely wouldn't want to go so high with the number scheme that they have an iPhone 10 (because, at that point, where does it end? The iPhone 20?).
On the other hand, calling the upcoming phone the New iPhone isn't very practical. For one, what is Apple going to do next year when they release the follow-up to the New iPhone? Will they call it the New New iPhone? And for two, if Apple just calls each new model of the device the New iPhone, customers will get confused. It will make getting support for the specific iPhone model they own difficult.
What would work better is to do what HTC, Motorola and Samsung do: give each new iPhone a different codename. For instance, HTC has the Incredible, the Rezound; Motorola has the Razr, the Bionic; and Samsung has the Nexus and Galaxy S2. Apple could do the same with the next iPhones.
New iPhone Could Still Be Called iPhone 5
On the flip side of things, it's still possible that Apple may keep the iPhone 5 name. After all, people probably wouldn't be as accepting of a new iPhone known as the New iPhone as they were of the New iPad. At this point, we don't know for sure which way Apple will go;.
What Do You Think?
Would you prefer the next iPhone to be called the iPhone 5 or the New iPhone? Or something else? Leave a comment below and make your opinion heard.

Guernsey Co. VCB
Paul Bunyan Show Ready for its 58th Year
Family-Friendly Autumn Activities Abound in Guernsey County
Cambridge Classic Cruise-In
Cambridge, Ohio prepares for 28th annual classic car cruise-in August 16
Cambridge, OHIO (August 11, 2014) – Car enthusiasts will come in droves to visit downtown Cambridge, Ohio, Saturday, August 16 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and enjoy the 28th annual Cambridge Classic Cruise-In.
More than 200 classic cars, trucks and hot rods will be on display along Cambridge's main street (Wheeling Avenue) also known as the Historic National Road/ US Route 40. The road has the distinction of being a part of the nation's first highway.
"The show has been named by Cruisin' Times Magazine as one of the top 13 car shows in Ohio," Cambridge/Guernsey County VCB Executive Director Debbie Robinson says. "This is a must-see event. We welcome more than 1,000 visitors to downtown. It's a great feel-good event that harkens back to what Main Street America used to be 50-60 years ago. People love it."
More than100 awards will be distributed, including the best of show, best truck, memorial trophy, largest club, oldest vehicle, and oldest driver. Trophies will also be awarded to each of the 20 classes, which include pre-40s antique and street rod, original and modified 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s, two wheel drive trucks, motorcycles, corvette class, special interest, sports compact, four wheel drive trucks, 4x4 Jeeps, Mustangs, and more.

Talking Tourism
GAP Success
Visitors & Convention Bureau grant program awards $13,000 to area tourism organizations
CAMBRIDGE, OHIO (July 22, 2014) – As part of its second annual Grant Assistance Program (GAP), the Cambridge/Guernsey County Visitors & Convention Bureau awarded $13,000 to area tourism organizations and special events earlier this year. The VCB indicated recently the area is already feeling the benefits.
"We launched the program in 2013 to enhance and stretch the marketing dollars of our non-profit events and attractions that exhibit positive tourism potential in this region," said Debbie Robinson, Cambridge/Guernsey County VCB Executive Director. "We had eight area organizations apply and receive grants totaling $13,000 in 2014. That's an increase from $10,000 we distributed in 2013. The program is growing and so are our events."
Robinson cited the Hopalong Cassidy Festival as an example of success. In May 2014 the festival welcomed more than 800 people (an increase of nearly 100 people from 2013) from 22 states and Canada and Australia. The festival estimates (from the visitors who completed an economic impact survey) the local economic impact was roughly $45,600.
Festival organizer Laura Bates said, "This is the second year the festival participated in the bureau's GAP. The grant funding we received went toward enhancing the festival's offerings. We also conducted a brief survey to learn more about our visitors, their interests, and how they heard about us. We will compile the data and use it in 2015 to streamline the event and determine additional avenues for publicizing."
The program, designed to directly increase lodging occupancy in designated periods throughout the year, creates publicity for the Cambridge/ Guernsey County area at large and enhances the tourism environment in the immediate area.
"Special events contribute much more to the economic success of our community than one might initially think. When visitors attend an event they shop, dine, eat, and sleep locally. The also fill up at our gas stations and visit other attractions. It's a win, win, win for everyone," said Robinson.
The bureau's Grant Assistance Program requires applicants to provide programs and activities beneficial to drawing tourists from a 100+ mile radius; and features new or expanded events, projects, or programs.
Robinson indicated grants are available from a minimum of $500 to $1,500 and are contingent upon the amount of overnight stays an event, project, or program generates. The bureau will seek new grant applicants for the 2015 program later this year.

Bureau publishes John Hunt Morgan Heritage Trail brochure
CAMBRIDGE, OHIO (May 27, 2014) – The Visitors & Convention Bureau recently launched a new brochure and website page with the assistance of Dr. Lorle Porter and Tom Snyder to promote Guernsey County's portion of the John Hunt Morgan Heritage Trail that features four interpretive heritage signs located in the county.
The 557-mile long trail consists of 56 interpretive signs and more than 600 specialized directional signs in Ohio. The trail generally follows the path of Confederate Brigadier-General John Hunt Morgan's 1863 Indiana-Ohio Raid (also known as the Great Raid or Ohio Raid).
From July 13 – July 26, 1863, John Hunt Morgan's Confederate cavalry pillaged towns and villages in Ohio until they were finally forced to surrender near West Point in Columbiana County. During that time, Morgan and his raiders left their mark in Guernsey County, making quite an impact on its citizens. On the evening of July 23, 1863, they entered Cumberland and confiscated horses and supplies. Leaving around 10 p.m., they traveled all night and arrived at the crossroads near Senecaville.
Following the directions of citizens, the raiders proceeded northward to present day Lore City, arriving near dawn on July 24. They laid a hand of heavy destruction in that town. Hot pursuit by Union Cavalry kept the Confederates moving northward where they took respite in the village of Washington (now known as Old Washington). By mid-morning, Union Cavalry had reached Morgan and his band of resting raiders, and a significant skirmish ensued.
The new interpretive signs present the historical information and stories about Morgan's Indiana-Ohio Raid as it pertains to the location where each sign is placed. Each interpretive sign contains text and pictures which describe the scene as it would have appeared in 1863 to a person watching Morgan's men ride by.
As you travel Guernsey County's portion of the Morgan Heritage Trail, be sure to stop at the four interpretive markers located in Cumberland, Senecaville, Lore City and Old Washington.
To learn more about the raid, log on to VisitGuernseyCounty.com or contact us for the John Hunt Morgan Heritage Trail Rack Card.

During the mid-1900s the State of Ohio purchased the land and transformed it into Salt Fork State Park. In 2002, the Stone House Museum (the last remaining original homestead structure) was converted into a museum and placed on the National Register of Historic Places.

First Quarter 2013 Results
"The first quarter of 2013 was a good start to the year," said Charles E. Bradley, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We saw a solid increase in new contract purchases, our earnings growth continued its momentum and we accomplished much on the capital markets front. Specifically, we extended the revolving period of one of our credit facilities for two years and added a two-year amortization period thereafter. Our first term securitization of the year achieved the lowest effective interest rate in the history of the Company. And last week we entered into a new residual financing facility. This allowed us to prepay $15 million of our senior secured debt and to lower our blended interest rate on corporate and residual interest debt by over 200 basis points."
Fourth Quarter 2012 Results
"2012 was a very good year for us," said Charles E. Bradley, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "The comeback plans that we set in motion three years ago are now resulting in significant earnings growth. From an operational standpoint, our managed portfolio is once again growing meaningfully. We have achieved this growth while maintaining attractive yields and credit demographics on our new contract purchases. And asset performance metrics of our newer vintages continue to be strong. From a financial perspective, we are now at a point where revenue growth is greatly exceeding expense growth, demonstrating the operating leverage inherent in our business model. These trends bode well for our future profitability."
On November 12, 2012 we added CPSS to the GeoBargain list @ $3.68
Catalyst: Bullish second quarter 2012 conference call. The company commented that investors should reference 2004 through 2007 for a barometer on how it can grow its business. During 2004 to 2007 revenues grew from $132.7 million to $394.6 million, while 2007 EPS reached a high of $1.06 on a pretax basis ($0.61 after tax).
We are now removing CPSS from the GeoBargain List @ $6.67
Current road block: The stock has exceeded our price targets and is up 81% since first being coded a GeoBargain. We will continue to track the stock and reevaluate the story after the fourth quarter 2012 results are released.
Consumer Portfolio, Our Newest GeoBargain, Shows A Clear Path On How To Profit From Sector Driven Markets
The old saying "a rising tide lifts all boats" is a phrase many investors would associate with the idea that rising markets will benefit all stocks to some degree. However, during the recent 3-year bull run, returns have been dominated by sector specific rallies, many of them short-lived. Bucking this trend, the auto and housing sectors have shown consistent strength over the last few years, and should continue as long as interest rates remain at low levels and the U.S. economy continues to limp along. This strength is sporadically beginning to filter into micro-caps.
This brings us to Consumer Portfolio (NASDAQ:CPSS),our first of many stocks we will discuss that should get a lift from the current economic trends.
As GeoInvesting followers know, we love uncovering hidden clues that prompt us to initiate stock positions before the masses do. And we have a big clue from CPSS. During the company's 2012 second quarter conference call, the company commented that investors should reference 2004 through 2007 for a barometer on how it can grow its business.

The company provides indirect financing to dealer customers for borrowers with limited credit histories, low incomes or past credit problems ("sub-prime customers"). They serve as an alternative source of financing for dealers, allowing sales to customers who otherwise might not be able to obtain financing. Obviously, this business took a severe hit upon the onset of the 2008 great recession. After posting a track record of consistent profitability and increasing revenues, the company lost money in every quarter from 2009 through the 3rd quarter of 2011 on declining revenues. In mid 1997 the stock price reached a high of $17.63. The company reported EPS of $1.17 in 1997 and in 1996 the company's EPS came in at $0.93. On 5/9/2006 the stock reached a high of $8.36. The company reported EPS of $0.55 in 2006 and in 2005 EPS was $0.14. There are 5 reasons we will track this company: 1- The company has now logged 3 straight quarters of revenue growth and profitability. 2- In its 2012 2nd quarter conference call the company commented that its EPS of $0.05 reported in the quarter should be the norm for the rest of 2012. However, more importantly, the company commented that investors should reference 2004 through 2007 for a gauge on how it can grow EPS. During this period pre-taxed EPS grew from a loss of $0.75 to a profit of $0.61. The company did not mention this information in its 2012 2nd quarter press release, potentially providing investors with an opportunity to take advantage of this information arbitrage. 3- The company is serving a market that is being ignored by traditional lending institutions. 4- Due to the great recession the number of sub-prime borrowers has likely increased. 5- The company may soon generate a new revenue stream by dealing directly with potential customers.
CPSS was also mentioned in 3 more emails, including a October 16, 2012 premium email talking about the strong third quarter 2012 earnings they reported. The stock hit a new high of $4.73 which is a 75% increase from the price of our original mention.

Third Quarter 2012 Results
We are extremely pleased with our third quarter financial results," said Charles E. Bradley, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "It was our first quarter of organic sequential revenue growth since 2007 and the onset of the financial crisis. This demonstrates that we are well positioned within the auto finance industry to continue growing our managed portfolio. And as we fund this growth with cost-efficient securitizations, our net interest margin is expanding significantly. These two components have been big drivers of our earnings growth over the last year."
IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 19, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Consumer Portfolio Services, Inc. (Nasdaq:CPSS) ("CPS" or the "Company") today announced the closing of its third term securitization in 2012. The transaction is CPS's sixth senior subordinate securitization since 2011.
In the transaction, qualified institutional buyers purchased $147,000,000 of asset-backed notes secured by automobile receivables purchased by CPS. The sold notes, issued by CPS Auto Receivables Trust 2012-C, consist of five classes. Ratings of the notes were provided by Standard & Poor's and Moody's and were based on the structure of the transaction, the historical performance of similar receivables and CPS's experience as a servicer.
The weighted average effective coupon on the notes is approximately 2.44%.
The 2012-C transaction has initial credit enhancement consisting of a cash deposit equal to 1.00% of the original receivable pool balance. The final enhancement level requires accelerated payment of principal on the notes to reach overcollateralization of 11.00% of the then-outstanding receivable pool balance.
The transaction utilizes a pre-funding structure, in which CPS sold approximately $105.3 million of receivables today and plans to sell approximately $41.7 million of additional receivables during October 2012. This further sale is intended to provide CPS with long-term financing for receivables purchased primarily in the month of September. The transaction also included $10.3 million of receivables originally originated by CPS in 2006 and 2007 that were recently repurchased from a securitization transaction which closed in 2007.
The transaction was a private offering of securities, not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, or any state securities law. All of such securities having been sold, this announcement of their sale appears as a matter of record only.
Second Quarter 2012 Results (reported on 7/18/2012)
"The second quarter of 2012 marks another milestone in our recovery from the financial crisis," said Charles E. Bradley, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We are now growing our total managed portfolio sequentially as our new contract purchases are more than offsetting the runoff of the Fireside Bank portfolio and our 2007 and 2008 vintages. As we can see from our financial results, the operating leverage inherent in our business is once again becoming evident. This bodes well for our future profitability.
"Operationally, the second quarter was also solid. New contract purchases increased 15% from the first quarter and yields and credit demographics of the new paper remain attractive. Asset performance metrics continue to be very strong as well with year-over-year net charge-offs and delinquencies continuing to decline. In addition, we achieved another record low funding cost on our June securitization."

The first time I watched An Education, I cried and cried afterward," says Carey Mulligan, the film's 24-year-old star. "I thought, I'm not doing anything; I'm really boring; why didn't I act more?" This is not what the writer of the filmin this case, menecessarily wants to hear. Sobbing gratitude, yes; actual misery, no. But then, actors are a notoriously self-critical bunch, and before they get to a point where they can take pleasure in their own performance, there are a lot of tears to wade through, metaphorically, and occasionally even literally.
We are sitting in a café in north London in summer 2009, a couple of months before An Education, adapted from a short piece of memoir by the English journalist Lynn Barber, is released. We don't know for sure how people will feel about the film or its star, but even Mulligan is beginning to recognize that she did an okay job. Just about every film blogger thinks her performance as Jenny is going to earn her a nomination of some kind; when the film was shown at Sundance earlier this year, her career switched straight into the fast lane. (I was with her at Sundance, and it was thrilling, if slightly scary, to watch.) She was the "Sundance It Girl," according to Variety, and "the new Audrey Hepburn" in the New York Post. Snarky Hollywood website Defamer described her performance as "a breakthrough that makes Ellen Page's Juno turn look like a Lifetime reject."
It turned out that she wasn't so boring, and that her disciplined, nuanced, moving, and utterly convincing portrayal of a 16-year-old girl in a dangerous and potentially ruinous affair with an older man in 1961 contained quite a lot of acting. "She's an acting machine!" says her friend Keira Knightley, who has just finished working with Mulligan on an adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro's novel Never Let Me Go. "I set her a task in one of the scenes to drop one tear out of her right eye on a certain line, and she did it every single time. I think we must have done 20 takes."
Only now is it possible to see just how lucky we were to find her for An Education. This is what we needed: a girlprobably an actress most people hadn't heard of, given that our central character was a teenagerwho could carry the film, someone who'd be asked to appear in just about every single minute of every scene without boring an audience to tears. Oh, and she would need to be convincing as a schoolgirl while at the same time not raising any awkward questions about vulnerability or appropriateness when it came to her relationship with the older man, played by Peter Sarsgaard. And she would also have to switch from girlhood to young womanhood at the drop of a shoulder strap. ("I used to hate looking young in terms of getting ID requests in bars, but in work it has been mostly a good thing," Mulligan says.) One thing was for sure: Nobody would ever see An Education and come out saying, "Well, she wasn't much good, but I enjoyed the film." This part was the film. Was all this too much to ask for? Almost certainly, but in Carey Mulligan we got it anyway.

Lewis: A grand is too much to pay for 2 seats at the Garden
|Connecticut's Breanna Stewart shoots during the first half of a first-round game of the NCAA women's college basketball tournament, Sunday, March 23, 2014, in Storrs, Conn. (AP Photo/Jessica Hill)
While it might be the best place to watch a basketball game (even better now that it has been totally renovated), I don't care how fantastic a venue Madison Square Garden is. I wouldn't pay $600 or more to watch a game there or anywhere.
Yet that is the price most tickets on the "secondary market" are going for as UConn prepares to play Iowa State in the NCAA Sweet 16 on Friday night.
OK, you get two games for that price and the nightcap is a particularly appealing contest between Virginia and Michigan State, but well over a grand for two seats to a basketball game?
Then add in transportation to and from the game (nothing better than the late Metro North trains back to Connecticut on a game night), a few $10.50 beers, dinner, a few more $10.50 beers, and before you know it, we're talking some serious money.
I don't get it.
In other postseason basketball news:
And speaking of attendance, how about the crowds at Gampel Pavilion this week for the opening two rounds of the women's tournament?
Basically, if you can't attract a big crowd in a state
See LEWIS, Page 10B
that actually cares about the sport, watching the best team in the country, what chance do you have in neutral or otherwise marginal markets?
While I totally understand the reasons people might choose to skip the women's games in Storrs — long drive, rough traffic leaving campus, the game is on my HD TV, everyone already knows the outcome — I admit I was a bit surprised that Gampel was well less than half-full Tuesday night.
There was no weather to worry about, the game had a reasonable 7 p.m. tip and it was the final chance to see Bria Hartley and Stefanie Dolson play. Yet it was still a meager crowd.
And wait for this weekend with the Huskies exiled to the heartland and two games in Nebraska. I'm guessing there will be plenty of good seats available for those contests.
Best-kept secret in college basketball this year? The fact that the Notre Dame women are also undefeated.
Here are a few notes about the tournaments that I came across Wednesday:
1. The UConn women have reached the NCAA Sweet 16 for 21 straight seasons. The next longest such streak is seven years, which speaks to the fact that the Huskies' run has been incredible (and easy to take for granted).
2. Michigan State coach Tom Izzo (whose agent is apparently working on getting him a raise by floating the NBA rumors) is 3-7 against No. 1 seeds all-time (he faces Virginia Friday night), but 3-3 if you take out games against North Carolina.
3. This week will be the first Sweet 16 since 1976 without Duke, North Carolina, Kansas or Syracuse involved.
As for predictions, here is how I think the Sweet 16 games will go this week:
East: Virginia over Michigan State; Iowa State over UConn.
The Huskies haven't lost to anyone other than Louisville in over a month (SMU on Feb. 23), and they will benefit from the MSG environment, but Iowa State can get up and down the floor and score. It has taken about 200 more shots than UConn this season.
As has been the case all season, the Huskies need a big game from Shabazz Napier and significant output from any other two players. DeAndre Daniels? Niels Giffey? Ryan Boatright?
South: Dayton over Stanford; Florida over UCLA.
Midwest: Louisville over Kentucky; Michigan over Tennessee.
West: Arizona over San Diego State; Baylor over Wisconsin.

" Scalping tickets used to be illegal until major corporations who can give campaign donations got in the business. The trick is to stop paying. Then stop paying for their supporters. You can still watch the game without buying Nike merchandise, without paying attention to the ads. Six hundred bucks a ticket they do not earn our respect to pay attention to the ads, or buy their products. Especially when the kids work for free. Billions in revenue and they make attendance impossible for the majority. Same with 900 bucks for nose bleeds to see major rock stars. Stop buying their songs too, enjoy them only when they are played free. Greed has gone too far. When they realize 80% capacity is more revenue than a packed house, it is time to find new ways to enjoy sports. Rah, rah, go greedy corporate sponsor team. "

Blue Zones: Power 9 Principles
Updated: Friday, May 10 2013, 09:23 AM CDT
Collins Road Hy-Vee Dietitian, Nicole Johnson, taught us about Blue Zones and how Iowa is trying to become one of them. Check out this additional information below:
Blue Zones
· Blue Zones are places in the world where people live longer, healthier, happier lives.
· These Blue Zones share nine common healthy habits. These habits have become known as the "Power 9 Principles."
· Examples of "Power 9 Principles":
o Move Naturally – incorporate physical activity in your everyday activities
o Plant Slant – majority of plate should be plant based – fruits, vegetables, legumes, plant protein
o Wine at 5 – drinking wine in moderation (2 drinks per day for men and 1 drink per day for women) has many health benefits
· Iowa is choosing Blue Zone demonstration sites. These sites will receive additional resources to become healthier communities.
· Cedar Rapids is competing to become one of these demonstration sites – we need 10,000 more pledges.
· In order to pledge, go to www.bluezonesproject.com.

Not as sturdy as anticipated.
By The good cook
from Livermore, CA
About Me Midrange Shopper
The base looks like it would suction to the counter, but, doesn't. Small snack bags & sandwich bags slip with heavy contents if not handled carefully. Gallon bags don't fit well, but, can be used with a little adjusting as you fill. You need to be careful when filling with heavy contents (sauces, liquid) due to slippage or tipping over. However, it is helpful when filling lighter contents. I fill baggies with bird seeds, whole grains, dried fruit, nuts, tea bags, cereal snacks, chip snacks, etc. I bought 2 which was more than enough. I would recommend this product to those people who are willing to be patient and careful during use.

The Hands-Free Baggie Rack is great for food storage. It always aggravated me when I was putting sauce in a freezer bag and had to clean the bag before I was able to seal the bag.
I love it!
By love chevy volts
from reading, PA
This is awesome. I used to keep grease in a container in my fridge. Then trow it away later. Now I can just freeze hamburger and throw the grease out in the same bag I froze it in. It works great for me. I also have made casseroles with zucchini and beans and froze one of the meals. I set it up and pour it into a bag. It has never fallen for me yet. It works great. I'm going to try it when I freeze cheese next. I think it is awesome! I'll have to get some to give as a gift.
Like having an extra pair of hands
By Plum Lady
from Montrose, CO.
I didn't think I would have a use for something like this, until a friend brought me more plums than I could deal with at one time. I started cutting them up and freezing them till I had a chance to process. But I couldn't hold the bag and pour the contents in at the same time. I ordered the bag holder and it's like having that extra pair of hands that I needed.

I use this product for storing food, like the fact that I don't have to hold it in one hand and that it stores well,and that it works for all sizes.
By GrammiesGarden

Handy little kitchen gadget that folds flat to lay in the drawer and pull out when needed. The bags attach easily and hold open wide enough to pour any liquid or scoop any solid food. The bright color means it never gets lost in the utensil drawer.

Online trade-in - Nintendo Wii etc
gareth1608posted 2 years, 5 months ago
I'm looking to trade in my Nintendo Wii (with controllers, and several games) but as I live in the back of beyond (only Game within a 50 mile radius), I wondered where online I could trade it all in?
I'm aware of CeX and game exchange, but wondered about others?
