Wells Fargo Is America's Most Profitable Bank
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Wells Fargo (WFC) is the most profitable bank in America after the nation's largest mortgage lender reported record third-quarter earnings and its competitor JPMorgan (JPM) posted a first quarterly loss under CEO Jamie Dimon.
Through the first three quarters of 2013, Wells Fargo reported $16.1 billion in net income, while JPMorgan reported about $12.5 billion in net income, hampered by a $7.2 billion after-tax third quarter increase to the bank's litigation reserve that wiped out the firm's quarterly profit. Those results reflect a high likelihood that Wells Fargo will end 2013 with industry leading profitability, a dramatic change in the U.S. banking sector.
As TheStreet noted in August, much of that would likely be attributable to JPMorgan's growing legal mess, as it resolves claims tied to a $6.2 billion trading loss, crisis-time acquisitions of Washington Mutual and Bear Stearns, and more recent probes into the firm's trading activities.
Still, Wells Fargo's rise to the top of the banking industry -- in terms of profitability -- should be no surprise to those who have watched the sector evolve in the wake of the financial crisis. It is quite a coup for a bank with a balance sheet about half the size of some of its larger competitors and one with a fairly small presence in risky but profitable Wall Street-oriented trading businesses.The San Francisco-based lender has picked up the most share of any lender in the U.S. mortgage market since the crisis and it has used recent acquisitions such as Wachovia to bolster its presence in wealth management and investment banking activities. Importantly, the bank hasn't faced the amount of litigation and mortgage-related losses of larger competitors such as JPMorgan, Bank of America (BAC) and Citigroup (C). Meanwhile, Wells Fargo remains one of the most over-reserved banks in the industry, an earnings tailwind in a flat economy, and its capital ratios allow for net share repurchases and dividend increases. While Wells Fargo has posted consistent post-crisis profits, highlighted by 15 straight quarters of sequential earnings growth, Wall Street-oriented competitors have faced scores of litigation, trading losses and the general volatility that comes from dealing in capital markets. Importantly, the bank's earnings give a glimpse on how lenders across the U.S. can grow their earnings without taking on too much risk.

would like to know if mom ever lubricated you with he fingers of finger prior to the enema. My mom lubed the nozzle only. Wiu
crawled the first joint of the finger into the anus greased with Vaseline ...
No, mom usually only lubricated the nozzle (with vaseline, of course ). I'm guessing that seemed like enough to her ..I know it was to me , lol. The only time she ever applied more lube to my anus was when i got more than one enema in a day. That only happened a few times and she would apply the vaseline AFTER I had already expelled and wiped as a way to keep my bottom from getting too irritated.
My mom would put a pretty good glob of Vaseline on the nozzle and shove it. My grandmother's finger would penetrate my rectum with a glob of Vaseline to prepare me for the nozzle and a male baby sitter I had did that as well. While I found the insertion of the finger a little uncomfortable that additional glob of lube and perhaps the penetration of my bottom with the finger better prepared my bottom for the insertion of the nozzle.
I only had mom's finger put lube on my anus,,not inside, then lots on the nozzle
Still have some vivid memories
Yep. She hadshort nails as a nurse so there wal no discomfort. Humiliation /embarrassment was a different story.
A multi-lobe douche nozzle was an early favorite of mine, from experience. Quite fullfilling.
My mom gave us (brothers and sisters) our Saturday enemas as a group. I remember when my brothers got older and their weewee's starting looking different. I can still remember the sensation of her lubricated finger.
Finger was lubricated and inserted before the tube or nozzle was inserted.
Janet S
Before my mom gave me an enema she would put on a finger cot and lube me with it. After giving me the enema she would put her finger back in while I held it for what must have been 5 min or so. She would also instruct me to clamp down on her finger which produced the most exquisite sensations!
My mother always lubricated me and the enema tip.
My Mom only lubed the enema nozzle
My parents only lubed the nozzle, never my hole.
My mom always inserted her lubed finger several times from the age of eight.
If I squirmed while she was pushing her finger around inside me, she would slap my bare butt cheek and say, "Lay still, you will be glad in a few minutes when I insert the nozzle."
As I look back on it now, he constant insertion and anal stretching made the doctor fingers and instruments ease to handle.
I never got the finger treatment from my mom. She just lubed the bulb syringe nozzle or rectal nozzle when she used the bag on me. I probably would have liked a finger insertion before the main event, but in a way, I'm glad she didn't do that to me because more than a few times I faked being constipated and she would have known that I wasn't.
Blushing when i type this (im new sorry) but my adoptive mummy would put a soapy finger or two up my bottom,in and out and round,before i got my Sunday enema
She would lubricated her finger. Then insert it, and my anus would tighten completely. She'd leave it in that position a couple of minutes, then after I'd tighten fully, she'd stretch it from side to side for a while, then go up and down for a few minutes more. When she removed it, it was usually brown, and I felt ashamed.
Oh, I'll never forget the amazing feeling of the tip of mom's finger sliping up and down in my little hole!
Even my younger brother, who hated all the following enema's phases, showed to accept gladly this preliminary.
The procedure was always the same. While the soap was melting in water, or while the solution was cooling to the right point, mom called us in the kitchen and there she gaily urged us with a phrase that still excites me:
«Come kids, let's prepare your little asses!»
After having printed a kiss on our forehead, she pulled down our pajama pants, made us bend face down on her knees and, spreading our buttocks with two fingers of a hand, with the index finger of the other she began to gently lubricate, inside and out, our little hole.
Unfortunately, this delightful habit faded away when mom realized that it had a ... "side effect".
To make that clear was involuntarily my brother who, as a young male, when about ten years old was no longer able to hide it ...
What a regret!
Ok I have a question for all of you who had a parent/sibling/aunt etc insert a finger in. Do you think they got as much pleasure out of it as you did?
I wonder because I know mine did...lol
Mom put a big glob of vaseline on the nozzle, lubed my hole using the tip, and then slid it in slowly.
Mom's finger? Always. First the dip into the jar, then the wipe across, then the plunge. Heaven.
It was one of my favorite parts of the enema, lol. My mother had bought me a new bag at age 12 and the drugist had told her to make sure she opened me and lubed me with her finger first or there might be damage from the nozzle. She tood that seriously, lol. I looked forward to that all week.
My first pre-puberty erection was from mom's finger. I was eight and I was laying naked face down over mom's knees. I looked up and could see the full enema bag hanging on the towel rod. As I turned my head, I saw mom scoop out a large glob of vaseline with her finger. She told me to turn my head around and patted my bottom for obeying her. Then I felt her insert her finger into my bottom. It was a delicious feeling and every nerve inside, came to life. It was like an electricity as it flowed through my body and ended up at my penis. As mom was massaging the vaseline deep into my rectum. She made a "Ohh" sound. A sound of surprise on the surface of her vocalization but hiding a hint of wickedness at the discovery of her son's erection against her leg. I felt my penis throb and stiffen, but unfortunately was unaware of the climatic nature of what the future held for me and how wonderful that discovery would be. As she withdrew her finger and replaced it with the enema nozzle, the electricity continued to course through my body and both my mom and myself knew this would be the last over the knee enema she would give me.
Never inserted, but always a wipe with vasolene before the well-greased nozzle was inserted.
Mom's finger never penetrated me but did rub the cold cream around my anus. The nozzle was well-lubricated and slid in deliciously.
Never a finger for me... just nozzle lube
It was the smell of the big red rubber bag with the white rubber hose.
When I first started gettiing my enemas from my mother at age 7. She would always take me to the bathroom . Where she would take my wet night diaper off. An every Saturday morning . She would have a bowl of soapy water , vasline , and a bulb syringe ready. After taking my diaper off she would lay me on my stomach over her lap naked. Then I'd feel her fingers spreading my butt apart . An then she would use a well lubed finger all the way up my butt hole . Working it in and out for what seemed like a long time . The first time she did it . I didn't like it . But after a few times I really loved her doing it.
I've never recieved an enema, but I have had many suppositories. They were always followed by a finger.
I always had the Finger before getting my enema's. It was just the way it was done, for I got the "Hose", no bulbs or such. Mom used the Can or "Bucket" as she called it with the large colon hose. She called it "Loosening me up" and the fingers where always in me about as deep as they could be. The "Hose" would hurt going in if I was not completely relaxed, so long "Loosening up" sessions were the norm. She said the Sphincter Muscle had to be opened up for the hose to go in without hurting. I just called it my inner hole because I coundn't say the other word. I got Enema's from as young as I can remember around two and up. Mom did not have aproblem with me enjoying the "Loosening up" or getting an enema. Looking back I know she enjoyed it as much or more than I did. Besides it did hurt if I was not relaxed enough, Mom used the Big Hose, the 1/2" I.D. one that's about 5/8" outer diameter. So it was like having a finger inside me. Mom did not have a problem with others being around or doing my enema's either. She seemed to love it when she was asked to show someone how to give a enema, and she did that alot.
I had an experience like this when I was about five. My aunt used her finger to deeply insert the supos. I have never forgotten the feeling. At times I have been able to recapture that pleasure. really delicious

Epicom's Google Analytics Integration Expands Tracking And Reporting Capabilities For Clients
Epicom's engineers have created a custom module in SugarCRM to store historical traffic information from clients' public websites. In order to integrate Google Analytics with SugarCRM, Epicom developed code that polled the Google Analytics Data API to retrieve visitor and pageview counts. This data was then stored in the new custom module so data could be used on reports.
To easily display and report the web analytics, users can simply create a summation report with details using the new "Google Analytics" module. Creating the report will allow users to display the number of visitors per month with a graph.
Also, you can set the report to display columns for:
- Specific date
- Number of bounces
- New site visits
- Number of pageviews
- Visitors time on the site
- Number of overall visitors
- Number of total visits
By integrating Google Analytics with the CRM system, users have the convenience of tracking and reporting everything inside one defined space. Additionally, users can compare the number of website visitors with the number of leads created through web to lead forms.
For more information on Epicom's integration between Google Analytics and SugarCRM, contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com or call (512) 481-9000.
16 Responses to Custom Google Analytics Module In SugarCRM
Is the data related to campaign pulled as well?
Providing that the trackers have google tags, it should be easy to extend the campaign reporting to add analytics to the bounced / opening / click through bar chart. That will allow tracking to visit, time spend, all the way to the goals.
This could also automate campaign ROI for e-commerce website.
We would be happy to collaborate on this extension. We have been thinking about it for a while.
Stephane- Thank you for your comment. Our google analytics integration doesn't currently pull in campaign data, but is something that could easily be implemented for landing page campaigns as well as email campaigns. Feel free to contact us to further discuss doing an extension on this integration. (512) 481-9000. Thanks!
Is there any known issues with hosting Sugar CRM on the same location as your corporate website wrt. negatively impacting search ranking?
Peter – We host our own SugarCRM system on Epicom's hosting platform and our website is hosted using WordPress. The search ranking is not related to our CRM system. I'm not clear on whether or not that was your question, so correct me if I miss understood. In relation to our web traffic reports, that data is pulled directly out of Google Analytics and placed into our CRM system. Using SugarCRM's reports module, we can compare website traffic trends to lead source and opportunities created or won in order to see the correlation of the two occurrences. It also helps marketers to see the effect of campaigns and marketing projects without ever leaving SugarCRM.

HP 8600 Plus Printer
I am looking to purchase a new Printer.... I have always had HP Printers. I seem to think the best one for me is the 8600 Series. I see there is the 8600, 8600 Plus and 8600 Premium. Im considering the 8600 Plus. I have found 2 different Model Numbers and wondered what the difference is. One is CN579A#1H3 and the other CM750A#B1H. Can you tell me what the difference is?
This question was solved. View Solution.
Re: HP 8600 Plus Printer
Both are same. The official number is CM750A#B1H for OJ 8600 PLUS. Some suppliers may have change the number.
Go ahead and buy OffiiceJet 8600 PLUS and play with tons features.
Happy Printing
Please mark the post that solves your problem as "Accepted Solution"
(Although I am employed by HP, I am speaking for myself and not for HP)
Re: HP 8600 Plus Printer
The CM750a is the main retail version and the CN579a is a customized retail version for North America (It will show up as 8605 Plus). Like the previous reply, they are essentially the same except for the following. You can refer and make your choice.
CM750a CN579a

Re: HP 8600 Plus Printer
Thank You! Now that I have the printer I am having a problem with the Fax...maybe you can help. Wont send or receive with out a filter on the phone line. Problem is with the filter on the line it constantly keeps beeping and telling me I have an incoming call. I had replace my HP L7590 with the this 8600 Premium. I am using the supplied phone line and its on a DSL Line. Followed all directions.
Also when I scan into a document it takes forever if at all for it to attach to an email. 10 Page document took about 20 mins to attach. I never had this problem with the L7590. I changed the dpi to 200 as well.
I guess I better print the manual as I am very frustrated........
Re: HP 8600 Plus Printer
I'm sorry to hear you are facing issues with the Fax and Scan feature.
For the Fax issue, you will definitely need to be connected to a DSL filter if you have a DSL modem on the same line. However, I understand you have a problem wth the constant ringing on the line. Let me check back with our Fax expert. Could you provide the model of your DSL filter and the service provider of your DSL? Thanks.

Cooking for your friends or family is an exciting experience and if you are using the best pots and pans on the market, you can cook the best meals they will ever taste with minimum effort and hassle. Getting and using such high quality cookware can be very rewarding, but the fact is that you will be investing a significant amount of money for such a set and you have to take certain steps to protect and get the best out of your cookware purchase.
If you are taking the healthy route and using stainless steel cookware, there is an important fact that you need to take into account in order to protect your pots and pans. If you are using waterless steel, you must make sure not to expose them to high heat settings as they can be easily damaged. Instead, you should start the cooking process with the medium setting and then turn the heat down as the pot gets heated enough.

Twin Cities commuters are expected to experience another round of light snow early Friday evening after having a midday reprieve from the freezing rain and snow that slickened highways, freeways and side streets in the morning.
By about 5 p.m., metro drivers can expect light snow which should be off and on for several hours before tapering off after midnight, according to Joe Calderone, senior forecaster at the National Weather Service's office in Chanhassen.
The morning's mixed bag of snow, sleet, rain and freezing rain made driving difficult in western Minnesota where authorities shut down Interstate 94 in both directions between Fergus Falls and Alexandria for about 2 hours after icy conditions led to at least a dozen crashes, including three involving jackknifed semitrailer trucks.
The 50-mile segment of freeway reopened just after 9 a.m. In the metro area, roads remained mainly wet for most of the morning rush hour, but side streets and sidewalks were treacherous. Scores of people fell and sought medical attention for ankle, arm and wrist injuries. At least 15 people were treated at Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis.
"It was a rough morning for people walking on foot," said Christine Hill, HCMC spokeswoman. "A few had fallen and hit their head, and that is always concerning."
By noon, Allina Health had treated eight patients for falls -- six at United Hospital in St. Paul and two at Mercy Hospital in Coon Rapids. Paramedics had responded to 20 slip-and-fall calls since midnight, said spokesman Tim Burke.
Lighter-than-normal levels of traffic helped ease Friday's morning drive to work, but rain that changed to snow in the northern metro just after 8 a.m. led to a rash of crashes as roads iced up.
A particularly bad stretch was on northbound I-694 in Oakdale where two semitrailer trucks collided at 50th Street. The freeway was closed briefly around 8:30 a.m. About the same time there were accidents at 40th Street and Hwy. 36. That prompted the State Patrol to urge motorists to slow down and use caution.
"That is the big message," said Jerimiah Moerke, a spokesman for the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
Roads in western Minnesota, including I-94, had been upgraded from difficult to fair condition by mid-morning, but a second round of snow was forecast to move in Friday afternoon. Saturday will be calm, dry and cool in the metro area with highs in the upper 20s, Calderone said. But another winter blast with significant snow is expected to hit late Sunday night and into Monday morning.
The weather service was uncertain just how much snow will fall, but "it's not going to be a dusting. It will be plowable," Calderone said. High winds that could create blizzard conditions also are expected to accompany the storm, which promises to complicate Monday's drive to work. "We have a pretty high confidence in that," Calderone said. "We are not going avoid this one."

Visit Blacktoft to celebrate the new season.
Image: Steve Round
As the reserve takes on wonderful autumnal colours, and the many birds that make Blacktoft their home over autumn and winter start to arrive, visitors are invited to join staff and volunteers on Sunday 20 October to celebrate the new season and find out more about the wildlife that lives there.
Mike Andrews, visitor officer says: "You know when it is autumn when you hear the "wink wink" call of pink-footed geese flying over the reserve and the chatter of thrushes as they feed on the red berries in the bushes.
"Everywhere you look you see autumn colours, from the golden reeds to the brown rustic colours of snipe hiding at the edge of our pools. Even the moths at this time of year come in all shades of brown, yellow and red."
During the open day there will be guided walks, guides in hides and children can try the special autumn wildlife challenge to win a prize. Entry to the autumn open day is free and will take place between 11am and 4pm. For more information contact the reserve at email@example.com or by calling 01405 704665.

Eddie Pepitone: the bitter Buddha
The self-hating cult US comic gets angry ahead of his debut London run
Tue Apr 30 2013
CommentsAdd +
© Mindy Tucker
I could attempt to come up with a pithy description of US comedy veteran Eddie Pepitone's act, but someone's beaten me to it: he goes by the nickname 'The Bitter Buddha'.
Dark, angry and depressed, the Brooklyn-born stand-up mixes bursts of philosophical outrage with moments of calm, introverted self-loathing – imagine an overweight, balding man having a darkly funny nervous breakdown for your enjoyment and, well, you're exactly imagining Eddie Pepitone.
So, ahead of his first London shows in his 30-plus year career, what's currently grinding Pepitone's gears? With me tightly grasping the receiver at a safe distance, the 54-year-old comic rants down the phone from his LA home.
'Why do I get made fun of for trying to be vegan? I mean, am I not the one who should be applauded? I'm doing the amazingly difficult and noble task of not contributing to the slavery and abuse of gorgeous creatures, yet I am called a "vegetable-eating pansy". Everyone seems so put out by the fact that I am not eating meat or cheese! They're like, "great, we have to sit at the same table as this moron who doesn't have the guts to eat flesh and doesn't understand our primal nature which involves blood and guts and death. Screw this, let's eat without this pansy."'
Growing older
'Why the fuck do I keep aging? What the hell is it with life that just as you start to figure out the opposite sex, or get a little wisdom about the universe we live in, that you start peeing eight times a night or your teeth start falling out? Or now that I am finally more civilised and realise that everyone should be treated with compassion, I find things growing out of my back? You mean God wants to see me grow but only so much? "Oh, let the poor bastards get a sniff of the meaning of life, then kill them."'
'Why won't my anxiety go away about achieving things? Every day I get up and feel like I have to do thousands of sit-ups, run a few miles and then write an opera. I feel like I have to be a combination of Adonis and Beethoven. Instead, I'm so flawed that animals and children cry when they see me. What is it about the stress of achievement that leads me to underachieving in such a heroic fashion? I could lead seminars on how to convert your anxiety about aspirations for eventually doing productive things into a really awful life that will lead to an early death.'

FREE SPEECH for the week of Sept. 24 – Sept. 30
Free Speechers, here's your "have at it" page again.
Post on topic or off topic or make up your own topic.
Here are some anonymous contributions that showed up in my email last week to get your pumps primed.
I have some advice on how to fix our messed up schools and budget deficit. Don't cut the teacher pay, but cut their extra supplement by 5%, start charging for school busses, collect all the money we are owed from the out of county kids who have been caught in our schools illegally and do NOT let them back in, quit letting kids go to different schools in the county with "special permission" as that is what messed up our schools to begin with, get rid of the senior tax exemption if they have grandkids living with them that are in our schools, and start charging the out of county teachers kids that go to our schools. Maybe even stop serving hot meals. Not popular decisions, but necessary to save our school system. There you have it, and the advice was free.
WOW,WOW,WOW. I just got put in the group that doesn't pay federal income tax. The group that Romney says he doesn"t worry about because we expect the gov't to take care us. My wife and I paid income tax until our retirement. Our retirement is not enough that we have to pay income tax. Mr. Romney, you really are out of touch with the lower middle class. I get nothing, natta, from the government; never have. Mr. Romney, you need to go into the cities and go to the poorer areas in the morning. You would see thousands of people going to work every morning on the subways and buses. Most of these folks go to jobs that do not pay a living wage. Mr. Romney, many of the folks clean homes, cars, offices, and have more than one generation living in a small apartment and they need government's help. These folks furnish the young to fight our wars. How much is it worth to you, Mr. Romney, to have the poor kids to die in war so that you and the higher class won't have to? You just lost our vote. — Senoia, Ga.
E-gad. Yet another, too lengthy, dissertation from that Mr Parker in Peachtee City. ENOUGH! Even the AJC limits letter, faxes and e-mails to so many words or less. His using The Citizen to hear himself talk (and voicing his political views among other things) is getting to be too much. Who made him king? I'm just about ready to just throw your paper in the trash when it shows up, because it is the same thing over and over (about the same stuff, from the same people). We are just WEARY of it. Must say, though, I love the editorial cartoons!
Thank you for the excellent article by Derek Wolter. It was superb. Kudos to you for giving us a good dose of thinking print.
Free Speech is free for another week — have at it!
Well, at least you get Easter with the spouse. You must have some screwy body clock. I tried doing 2nd and 3rsd shift when I was a youngster and it made me crazy. And that was in the same time zone. Now that I am no longer crazy...well, life is better. You get a big gold star on your forehead from me.
I just checked out Maguires Facebook page and this is what they have out in Senoia. They have just installed a tap table. 4 beer taps to a table to sample beers. You buy a pre-paid card and then swipe it to sample the beers. If you put, say, $10. on your card, you visit a tap table and sample different beers. Prices are based on type of beer and are by the ounce. If you try a beer and don't like it, you only bought an ounce and not a pint. They change the beer often, too.
I like the Irish Proverb they have listed:
May the roof above us never fall in.
And may the friends gathered below it never fall out.
going to open again on Crosstown Rd. Have no idea what is going to be there, but an announcement should be coming soon.
Here's a blast from The Citizen past...almost 10 years ago
Paul and his guitar ruled the stage. Food was great. The tatami rooms were the most fun. Loved it!. Used to go every week then then the novelty wore off for us and others and then they closed and reopened and then it was $18.. Hope they have more luck now with the younger crowd. $11 back then vs. probably $35 today. Used to go there with Todd Strickland's parents Good times, good people. Todd, do your part - take your neighbors to the new Ginza.
my wording was misleading. A new restaurant is going in there. No connections to Ginza/Kane Yama that I know of. Just used the names for building location, that's all. Yes, Ginza was great. Hope they last longer than Kane Yama did. And they don't store all their cleaning material and other clutter out back where you can see it as you go by on the golf cart. Kind of unappetizing, some of that stuff. However, with the construction starting at Kroger within a month or two, guess we'll have that to look at on the path back there.
Hey, we need another hookah bar, right? The Khalifa in Fayetteville probably has a spare belly dancer hanging around looking for more to do, too. Or the Grand Hookah bar at Wisdom Pointe.
Sorry, browser problems this AM.
The new restaurant will be called Crosstown Grille and is being opened by Frank and Wendy Maguire from Maguire's in Senoia. My husband and I spoke to Frank about the new restaurant a couple of weeks ago. Look for a large assortment of beers on tap and a complete remodel. He said they were hoping to be open by the end of the summer.
Did they say what kind of food they will be serving? Sounds like pub food.
A restaurantuer with a good history of good food and atmosphere. I'm looking forward to it. Hopefully they can figure out a way to get some outside dining and make sure it's caters to family's.

Sounds promising....and it is an easy cart ride from my Casa
Plenty of burger, pizza, Mexican, Japanese steakhouse, Greek/Mediterranean and BBQ joints around town. It would be nice to have a really good seafood restaurant there. Make it a must stop on the way to The Fred to see a concert in the golf cart.
Please, please, please learn a lesson from Johnny's Pizza and have outdoor dining, preferably under a roof (or at least some sort of shade) with ceiling fans. I bet Johnny's has tripled or more his income from that patio by moving from his 54W location. That is what we enjoy when carting...outdoor dining..like btr said, on the way to The Fred or just out for a ride.
I'm glad no national franchise frozen everything is going in there. Local owners who will enjoy catering to the locals here. Lots of lunch crowd from the industrial park looking for lunch, too, near the Crosstown area.
Hopefully, Gov. Deal signs that new law within the next 3 weeks that will allow PTC to have local control of golf carts crossing Hwy 74 at Crosstown. Then we can get over to Lake McIntosh on the cart, and more carts will come and go for a meal or takeout on their trips to and from the lake. This is good news.
Monday at Adams Farm. Spring has sprung.
Wrong on Monday--opened yesterday. Berries are large but not very sweet, as is normal for the early crop--be much better in June/July when we get some sustained warm weather.
I wrote that last Saturday and they did open last Monday. I was there on Monday and bought the strawberries. You are right. They are big berries, not the small juicy ones they have always had in the past.
I even called them a few days later to ask if these were bought from a supplier as they are just about what you can buy in Publix right now. I was told these are from their fields and they are the first crop of the season. You are right, I can wait for the smaller, juicier, sweeter ones. I'm glad someone else noticed the difference, too.
My bad on not catching date of original post--been having probs accessing Citizen site for 10 days and am out of practice! Bought some berries today from Rick Minter at the Farmer's Mkt--will have some tonight! Best ones I've found so far are from Fla NOT Cal!
We just love Adams Farm and how friendly everyone is. Picked up about 2 lbs of strawberry's and we will enjoy them at breakfast, snack after school and dessert. I spoke to them and they plan to offer herbs and more this year.
on how big-boy world leaders play this game called world politics, you can't say Barry isn't getting anything done. He has filled out his Presidential Bracket for the men's NCAA basketball tournament and had ESPN visit the White House to unveil his Final Four for television viewers. While the ratings were probably much higher than for his State of the Union speeches, he was relegated to SportsCenter at 9:30 this morning. For those who can't stand the suspense, the Basketball-in-Chief commanded that Michigan State, Louisville, Florida and Arizona will be in the Final Four. He then issued an Executive Order declaring Michigan State will be National Champions.
Meanwhile on that pesky situation with Russia, rumor is Barry is trying to find where Hillary put that embarrassing "reset button" before she left town. I guess he wants to hit "reset" again since Putin could not possibly pay any less attention to him or his "sanctions".
Did you see where our absent minded VP claimed ,as the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, he lead the fight for Poland's admission into NATO. The only thing is, he was wasn't the chairman at time; it was Sen. Jesse Helms.
Biden is a world class………..doofus.
Of course, we all know that Al Gore invented the internet. (another doofus VP)
It's all part of the "Big Lie". There is a famous quote by Joseph Goebbels that sums up their adeptness at the art of lying:
"The essential English leadership secret does not depend on particular intelligence. Rather, it depends on a remarkably stupid thick-headedness. The English follow the principle that when one lies, one should lie big, and stick to it. They keep up their lies, even at the risk of looking ridiculous."
All you have to do is substitute "Liberal" for "English".
Not to be outdone by multitasking Adolf Putin, Barry not only did his b-ball predictions today, but he also sent his advance team up to Martha's Vineyard to scout out for his vacay in August. Man, the work load this guy accomplishes in a day is stunning, ain't it? Just can't have enough vacays when you are the biggest joke of a leader this country has ever had.
He might as well be chasing a little white ball around a course somewhere. Just like when he went to Key Largo earlier this month, if he's golfing, at least he's not implementing another foolish scheme to redistribute our money.....
Good thing no one outside notices he's not implementing anything, right? Especially a foreign policy and a military policy that would keep our allies and this country safe, strong and reasonably independent for years to come.
in August? Now we're talkin'! I knew we could do better than that dopey Tony guy who never did fun stuff like this.
who decided to drive into and thru the pine trees on the side of Crosstown instead of taking the road into Taco Bell. There are easier ways to get a chalupa. Hope you are okay, looks like the air bags did their job.
is a sport played down here in Miami and is similar to its near cousin No Rules Football that's played "down under". The object of No Rules Driving is to do whatever is necessary to get ahead of the driver ahead of you. Traffic controls are placed only to make this game a challenging and the more that are disregarded adds to the overall score. Points are deducted if you are a courteous driver.
I'll be glad to get home.
are the traffic controls in? Or does it matter?
Volver a casa, Senor Cyclisto:)
have left for a lovely vacation weekend at the Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo.
Adolph Putin has killed (or has him on his deathbed, depending who you believe) the former president of Ukraine who dared to cross him.
VPOTUS Biden left today to go to the Virgin Islands for a week long vacay with Dr. Jill.
Diphead SOS John Kerry took a 1500 mile detour on his way home from Kiev today to stop in Jordan to be told by the king that Palestinian prezbo Abbas has said that he will not accept Israel's demands to be recognized as a Jewish state. This is 9 months into Kerry's peace talks. Now Arab leaders are getting pissed at Barry for not putting any pressure on the Israelis for concessions.
Adolph Putin's spokesman says on Russian TV today that calls for talks between Russia and Ukraine "make us smile".
The US astronauts at the International Space Station have no way to get back to earth unless the Russians agree to fly them back. This country has NO shuttle or vehicle that can bring our astronauts home.
Two days ago, before the Senate Armed Services committee hearing on military budget cuts, dipstick Chuck Hagel was asked by Sen. Deb Fischer of Nebraska, (where the US Strategic Command is based at Offutt AFB) is in charge of our nation's nuclear missiles whether he thought "any additional reductions, whether it's going to be warheads or launchers, that's kind of premature, wouldn't you say? It's not really practical at this time?"
Sen. Kay Hagen, D-N.C. complained to Hagel that his budget "would result in the inactivation of the Air Force's 440th Air Lift Wing from Pope Airfield at Fort Bragg which would mean there would be no Air Force planes stationed at Pope Airfield". She further stated this would undercut the readiness of "the 82nd Airborne Division, and then all the other major units we have at Fort Bragg".
Note here..part of my youth was spent on Offutt AFB. I was in the underground command center. I was out to the missile silos in western Nebraska and South Dakota. My little bro was 82nd Airborne and a Ranger. I've seen the operations at Pope. I was in a civilian crowd at Ft. Bragg when at an airshow there, a C-130 cargo plane with 6 on board misjudged the load of the tank on the pallet in the back they were going to drop on the dirt runway in front of us, came in headfirst, and crashed into a bank of trees at the end of the runway where the plane exploded, four on board were killed and one on the ground. Us civilians had debris hit us as we ran for our lives. I grew up with all this chit.
Just to repeat. Our CINC and the VEEP are vacationing in sunny Florida and the Islands. The Secretary of Defense (gag me) 2 days ago is insisting on military cuts to decimate our military.
May God Bless what we all remember to be the greatest country on this planet. And pray for Europe and the Ukrainian people.
I'm done.
Unfortunately, it makes no difference whether Barry is in Washington or Key Largo. Putin has made it very clear how concerned he is about Barry and how easy it is to ignore him. Remember Syria and Barry's "red line"??? Every world leader knows he is a bag of hot air, and I'm putting that nicely.
Plus, the real positive of Barry working on his golf game in Key Largo is that he was not implementing another one of his screwed-up ideas. At least not this weekend.....
Yes, as in we haven't had to see him standing in front of some crowd of Valerie Jarrett assembled minorities while he rants about his newest and greatest feat of excellence to save the lives of the multitudes of mindless followers he has cling to him like dog fur to your pantlegs.
The real reason he had to leave D.C. that has not been reported by those oh so middle of the ground reporters that sniff his butt was the profound sorrow he is experiencing due to the loss of Alyssa Mastromonaco in his big house there.
That, coupled with d-bag Rahm Emanuel's revelation (on that new CNN campaign-commercial-for-reelection-so-called-documentary) that he and Barry decided they hate, just hate having to make so many decisions. So, when they retire to Hawaii together, they are going into business to sell t-shirts on the beach, white only, size medium only, so they don't have to decide anything ever again.
The really pathetic part of this inside joke the 2 of them have? Emanuel told this in a school in Chi-town, to a group of students who look to be early teens or younger, while he sat on a desk. There is the role model for the youth of Chicago and now the rest of this country. Of all the things anyone could consider to inspire greatness in our youth, this former chief of staff, current mayor of one of our largest cities, and former US Congressman chose this story to tell in a school system that he whines has a 56% dropout rate of black males. Kids, when you grow up, hate making decisions, hate your job, get out of town and do nothing in your retirement years. Yes, this CNN revelation was broadcast for all the world to see, just as Barry jetted off to the Keys. I am SO sure the timing is a coincidence. If you listened closely enough, you could hear Adolf Putin chuckling across the ocean as he listened in on his CNN feed, too.
Still, can you name another?
I recall when Mr. Obama was elected the first time telling a friend (yes I do have them) that this would usher in a decade of new socialist policies. It is not without precedent. From the election of Teddy Roosevelt until the death of FDR the United States moved from a free market capitalistic society to a Progressive (socialist) society, that movement has only been interrupted briefly since then. Our government has continued to march in one direction and will not stop until the ultimate outcome of democracy is fulfilled.
With all that said, we still have the best country on earth, because we can change it peacefully, if we dare.
Don't think Netanyahu can be "Pressured"---not in his makeup!
I agree with you.
I see S. Lindsey hasn't been posting for some time and they sold their house. Anyone know where they moved? I have a good idea, but haven't asked before now.
Blv he went to Alabama--he was quoted as saying "Got a job offer I couldn't refuse".
AHG, skin diving for Roto-Rooter?
Just saw it on wsbtv. It happened at the LaGrange airport.....terrible tragedy for these 3 long-time PTC/FC people.
Yesterday, but didn't hear names. I was a patient of Dr. Curtis. A good man. Didn't know the others. Dr. Curtis always ran the medical clinic at the air show.
Dad Vince Rossetti was a big homebuilder in FC(Raven Homes) and his sons continued on in the same business. Mike's daughter and mine went to school together all of their lives and I knew the family pretty well. Dr. Curtis was my old doctor for a while too. Just awful.
They were trying to avoid a glider and something happened. It's a shame. I was scheduled to see Dr. Curtis soon for my physical. PTC lost a good man.

An oldie but a goody…
1. Pull up to Jiffy Lube or Valvoline Instant Oil Change when the mileage reaches 3,000 miles since the last oil change.
2. Drink a cup of coffee while they change the oil.
3. 15 minutes later, write a check and leave with a properly maintained vehicle.
Cost: $29.99 oil change, $2.00 coffee. Total $32.00
1. Wait until Saturday, drive to the auto parts store. Buy a case of oil, oil filter, kitty litter, hand cleaner (don't forget a little tree air freshener). Write a check to the auto parts store for approximately $50.
2. Stop by 7/11 on the way home, buy a case of beer. Write a check for $20.00.
3. Drive home with oil and beer.
4. Open beer, enjoy it.
5. Spend 30 minutes looking for the jack stands.
6. Find the jack stands (finally) under the kid's pedal car, jack the car up.
7. Open another beer, drink it.
8. Place drain pan under engine.
9. Look for 9/16" box end wrench for drain plug
10. Give up looking ten minutes later, find crescent wrench.
11. Unscrew drain plug.
12. Drop drain plug into pan of hot oil. Splash hot oil onto your hands and face in the process. Cuss and swear.
13. Crawl out from under car, wipe hot oil from hands and face. Throw some kitty litter on the spilled oil.
14. Open another beer while watching the last drops of oil drain.
15. Spend 30 minutes looking for the oil filter wrench.
16. Give up looking for oil filter wrench, crawl under car and hammer a flat-head screwdriver through the oil filter and twist it off.
17. Crawl out from under car, splashing hot oil everywhere from newly made holes in oil filter.
18. Cleverly hide used oil filter in trash to avoid those pesky environmental penalties. Open another beer.
19. Install new oil filter, making sure to apply a thin coat of oil to the gasket.
20. Pour the first quart of new oil into engine.
21. Oops! Now remember the drain plug (removed in step 11). It's still swimming in the now-warm oil in the drain pan.
22. Throw more kitty litter on the quart-sized oil puddle on the floor.
23. Open another beer and drink it.
24. Find drain plug with a minimum of spillage, hand-tighten in drain plug socket. Drink beer.
25. Crawl under car (getting oily kitty litter embedded in neck and arms). Tighten drain plug with crescent wrench, but this time, it's slippery. Bang your knuckles on the frame while tightening drain plug.
26. Throw crescent wrench across the garage in anger. Throw a fit because crescent wrench hits bowling trophy (which wife wouldn't let stay in the house).
27. Open another beer and drink it.
28. Clean hands, bandaging where needed to stop blood flow.
29. Pour in five quarts of fresh oil.
30. Lower car from jack stands. Smile at your handiwork. Open another beer and drink it.
31. Move car back to discover oil puddles you missed; apply more kitty litter to missed areas.
32. Test drive car to make sure oil doesn't leak.
33. Get pulled over a block from the house by local police, get arrested for DUI.
34. Call loving wife and bail bondsman.
35. Next day, get car out of impound yard.
Cost: $50 parts, $20 beer, Impound fee $75, Bail $1500, DUI $2500 minimum. Total $4145 (but you know the job was done right!)
So true. :)
If those 50's had just not been so darn boring...

For a Patriots/Falcons fan (yes, my football Superbowl fantasy), at least the Broncos one-upped the Pats in season ending humiliating playoff losses. As if that's any consolation.
Guess Bob Dylan is broke.
I missed the Doritos Office Thief...(Google it)
Joe Namath in a fur coat, now that was worth the price of admission.
Drove by Pebblepocket park and heard a gunshot. On down to address above and PD and GBI there with the driveway blocked off with crime scene tape. An adult male was sitting on the front steps. The GBI seemed to already know about the gunshot in the park and could have cared less. "Yup, we'll take care of it". And smiled. On the way back, looked like a female leo in the park, maybe discharging a weapon there??
Thank you. That explains some of it. I still don't get the need for the gunshot that I heard. Or was that what you call "a special remediation agent"? Was it blown up in the park? In any event, thank you for the information. Sometimes we have to hear about things from The Citizen and we are thankful for your reporting.
Here's something for us ex Angelenos; Raph Story and his production of a LA histroy show called "Things That Aren't Here Anymore".
It's was on KCET tonight as their feature fund raising effort. You can see some of it here:
Just sharing a possible 'moment'! While watching the Pro Bowl - my husband realized that we remember when we thought Dion was a 'young' pro bowl player - and tonight, he was an OLD pro bowl player. Thank heavens WE haven't aged.
Can't thank you enough! I was around 9 when Ralph Story started broadcasting. He was part of my 'breakfast before school' memories. This is a keeper! Still watching! Grateful for the memories! Thanks again!
and then what?
Hillary Clinton, "What difference does it make?"
Michelle Obama, "Eat before you come."
Drink beer and pedal faster!!!
What, no flat screen and server for 40 grand?
Always like Pies-On in Fayetteville . . . service was slow but food was good. Heard they're going of business.
How will this change for the residents? It is a relatively new place.
the new name, effective today is Auburn Trace. A national company.
Lordy, Lordy, what will this mean for those over forty?
A truly beautiful facility and according to many friends, an excellent and caring staff. I hope the service does not change. Seriously looking at the facility for our '80's !!!!!!
If it is the same Auburn Communities which operates mostly in Florida, they use tax credit subsidies the same as that group Haddix let into Kedron with his big mouth. That might lower the rental rates for new residents.
Can't figure why this has been sold when they are almost full. Maybe that was the plan all along to rent it up and sell it. Or maybe their slow start - 2008 was not a good time to open, put them behind the 8-ball with the bank. Nevertheless, that's a really nice place, much better than Somerby - good location as well.
now is managed by Arbor out of Atlanta.
It is now owned by Capitol Senior Housing out of D.C.

Not to be outdone by NORAD, National Weather Service and the FAA, the Department of Agriculture has blessed the entry of Santa's reindeer into the USA.
The agency has waived the disease-testing requirement typically in place for those bringing livestock across the border.
I'm sure impressed.
Watch the astronauts install a new pump module
had about 15 trucks at Pinewood this afternoon. Working along Sandy Creek and Veterans Pkwy the length of the studio land. I have no idea how many trucks they have, but I bet a good majority of what they have were there. Working along the big transmission lines, there, too. Unbeweebable.
Can't get a Certificate of Occupancy without permanent power. Guess they had to be sure the Pinewood check cleared before they would run the lines. Lol. Is this holding up final inspections?
is about the speed of an average .45 ACP. It was also the speed the B767 that flew me home today from LA. Got to love those 146 MPH tailwinds!!!!!

Sad to see the Braves moving a little further north into Cobb County.
Wish Frank Wren could have talked John Schuerholz into moving them to Fayette. We could have hidden the stadium behind one of the studios for an entertainment mecca.
Redsox.com starting at 9AM Sat. (today). Parade starts at 10AM at Fenway Park, goes down Boylston St. and ends up with a splash into the Charles River.
The city is expecting a million or more fans (give or take) to show up. 24 Duck boats....quack, quack...
Big Papi was just seen walking down Storrow Drive with a bat in his hands asking anyone he saw if they had some balls.
He has a rare form of recently diagnosed ninetyfiveyearticulitis.
The most effective treatment is to lay down on a warm tropical beach with a margarita in one hand, a beautiful woman in the the other, and scream at the top of your lungs the folllowing: WHO'S YOUR PAPI NOW??
Malady subsides and health should restore to normal about 4 months from onset of symptoms.
Oh, and btw, those Champion (so smoooth sounding) Red Sox will be at Turner Field on May 26 & 27th 2014, to play the Bravos. Sans beards. Memorial Day. Be there.
One happy fan and 2 great series. Beat the best to be the best. What this team did for the city of Boston is remarkable. Cheers!

Happy Halloween!
Thank Gawwwd!
Well there goes any drama more than likely. Sox up 6-0 now.
Good series and go Braves in 2014, they won 1 less game than the Cards this year...
Till October...
singing the National Anthem. Should be a kickin' wild Irish night up there!
They will also be singing Shipping Up to Boston, but it won't be on TV.
Love those dudes. Also love the Sox. Win tonite, win tomorrow, love it.
I like the new color theme and lettering going up on the building exterior.
Anyone tried it yet? Next to Verizon, on the Hwy 54 side of the building.
Haven't eaten at Westpark yet, but have eaten at the one near Ga Tech. It's better than Subway and Quioznos, but can't compete with Pats or Geno's in south Philadelphia.

Rowan Provides Fleet Contract Status Update
HOUSTON, Aug. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Rowan Companies plc ("Rowan" or the "Company") (NYSE: RDC) announced today that its monthly report of drilling rig status and contract information has been updated as of August 15, 2013. The report titled "Monthly Fleet Status Report" can be found on the Company's website at www.rowancompanies.com.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120827/DA62568LOGO)
Notable events in the current report include:
- Rowan Reliance : Entered into a three-year contract with Cobalt International Energy, L.P. at an effective day rate of $602,000, including mobilization revenues. The drillship is expected to be delivered at the end of October 2014 and operate in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico starting in late January 2015. The Rowan Reliance is one of four ultra-deepwater drillships being constructed for Rowan by Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. Ltd. ("HHI") shipyard in Ulsan, South Korea. With the award of this contract for the Rowan Reliance, three of the Company's four ultra-deepwater drillships under construction at HHI are now under contract. The fourth remaining uncontracted drillship, the Rowan Relentless, is scheduled to be delivered from the shipyard at the end of March 2015.
- EXL III: Awarded a contract to drill a relief well for Walter Oil and Gas estimated at 45 days in the Gulf of Mexico at $160,000 per day (no change from previous day rate).
- Rowan Louisiana : Awarded a one-well contract for Northstar estimated at 90 days in the Gulf of Mexico at $95,000 per day.
- Gorilla VII:
- Increased 3Q 2013 off-rate time by 40 days to a total of 61 days (previously 21 days) for leg repairs that commenced in mid-July 2013. Operating costs will be expensed during this period.
- Previously scheduled 140 days out of service project for repairs, upgrades and inspections is planned to start at the beginning of 2Q 2014 instead of during 1Q 2014.
- Gorilla III: Awarded an extension for a 24-day well recompletion with EOG in Trinidad at $145,000 per day.
- Charles Rowan: Previously scheduled 25 days off-rate time for repairs and inspections is expected to occur during 4Q 2013 instead of 3Q 2013.
Out-of-service days include days for which no revenues are recognized other than operational downtime and cold-stacked days. The Company may be compensated for certain out-of-service days, such as for shipyard stays or for transit periods preceding a contract. However, recognition of any such compensation received is deferred and recognized over the period of drilling operations. Operational downtime is when a rig is under contract and unable to conduct planned operations due to equipment breakdowns or procedural failures. No operational downtime is included in projected out-of-service days, but the company estimates operational downtime to account for approximately 2.5% of in-service days in current and future quarters.
