First Listen
Vaghe Stelle "Duemila Kilometri"
- Words: Glenn Jackson
- Label: Astro:Dynamics
Recently featured on the Kode9-curated A Great Symphony for Torino sound-design project, Italian producer Vaghe Stelle (pronounced 'vag-he stel-lay') will release new LP Sweet Sixteen via UK label Astro:Dynamics next month. To tease the upcoming record, Stelle has sent along "Duemila Kilometri," an unsettled production which cuts through layers of brooding atmosphere with erratic drum programming—an apt preview of the man's production style, which is said to be "as loose as possible in its approach… utilizing vocal samples to craft bass and lead sounds, coupled with repeated use of Poly-800 and Juno 106 synthesizers." Sweet Sixteen is out on February 17, but before then, its artwork and tracklist can be seen after the jump.

Graham Corp (NYSE:GHM)
The Company and its subsidiaries are engaged in the design, manufacture and supply of vacuum and heat transfer equipment used in the chemical, petrochemical, petroleum refining and electric power generating industries.
From the company profile on Graham's website, "Graham Corporation designs and builds vacuum and heat transfer equipment for process industries throughout the world and is a worldwide leader in vacuum technology. Principal markets served include the chemical, petrochemical, petroleum refining, and electric power generating industries, including cogeneration and geothermal plants. Other markets for Graham equipment are metal refining, pulp and paper, shipbuilding, water heating, refrigeration, desalination, food processing, pharmaceuticals, heating, ventilating, and air conditioning."
The customers are all strong markets and Graham sells worldwide. The company has nearly no debt and over $5 a share in cash. Fwd PE is 14.88, there's only one analyst covering the stock, next year's growth is estimated at 17.3%. Operating and profit margins are both in low double digits. Pays a small dividend. The last quarter's report and conference call was a blow-out - estimate was for 28 cents a share, GHM reported 66.
Don't own any of this one, but am considering it.
I bought some the day Cramer recommended FWLT. Basically the same sector and subsector - oil refinery services - no debt, all that cash, low price, and so much work to do that they're having to outsource some of it.
All of that makes it an attractive play to me, but all of those qualities combined, along with the fact that this is a tiny company in a sector with a few much larger companies, suggests to me that it might also be an attractive takeover target.
On the day it reported earning, its share dropped and continued next day to hit about $28 from the previous day's high $47 and then recovered some until now. The drop even with blow-out earning was due to margin contraction.
On Thursday 3 April, GHM announced record quarterly orders and increased revenue guidance for FY2009. The stock jumped from 36.90 at the open to close at 45.22. On Friday, it tacked on another three and a half plus to close at 48.79. Even after the run up, it's still only trading at a ttm PE of 17.8. Yahoo Finance shows only one analyst covering the company, that earnings estimate for next year puts the fwd PE at 15.4 and I suspect that estimate will go up based on the company's new revenue guidance. Management has absolutely blown the earnings estimates away the last two quarters. I see several potential catalysts to drive this stock price higher. With the market cap approaching $250 million, they're getting to the point where they could pick up more analyst coverage and are big enough for bigger mutual funds and institutional investors to start looking at them. TTM EBITDA is 10.7, but with higher revenue projections bringing that down a bit, they could be attractive as a buyout. The primary risk is that this is a cyclical growth story, so a bad quarter or falloff in the petrochemical business would be pretty ugly for GHM. Steel costs could be a problem for them, but with very strong customer markets, I believe they shouldn't have much trouble passing price hikes along.The stock still looks like a good buy, even after the run up last week. But, with market volatility, I would look for a pull back before buying. In this market, patience is nearly always rewarded with a better buy point. With the company forecasting 15-20% revenue growth for FY09 and a track record of crushing estimates, I don't see any reason they shouldn't trade at a fwd PE of 20+. That would put the stock price well into the 60's.Disclosure: I have a small position in GHM.
Graham Corp. (GHM) issued a press release on Friday, 6 June outlining $10 million in international refinery equipment orders. I thought the release helps explain part of the picture driving oil prices. The orders in GHM's release are for refinery projects in South Korea, China, Malaysia and Russia. This supports the argument that oil demand is growing outside the US and is keeping upward pressure on crude prices.Graham also got a mention in Barron's Research Reports section. Singular Research (never heard of them) put a buy recommendation on the stock. I bet Singular's customers would have been happier if the buy rating had been issued back in Feb so they could have been in on the quick double.GHM also issued earnings on 30 May. CEO was forecasting 15-20% revenue growth over the next 12 months with gross margins slightly lower than what they've been doing. I came up with a 12 month price target range of about 65 - 95. I lean towards the higher end of that estimate given Graham's track recored of crushing earnings estimates. Still like the company, but it's not realistic to expect the price action we've seen over the past few months to continue.I took some profits in my meager stakes a little while ago, now playing with the house's money.
Copy of blog entry from early Nov 2008Graham (GHM) is a small company that was just included in the Russell 2000 this past summer. GHM manufactures processing equipment; the big heat exchangers, ejectors and vacuum equipment used in refineries, chemical processing and other process industries. This was by far my biggest dollar and percentage winner from the two Strategy Lab Open rounds. The stock has been very volatile over the past year with a split adjusted 52-week trading range of $12.50 - $54.91. The 6 November close was near the bottom of the range at $14.15.GHM reported earnings for their fiscal 2009 2nd quarter on Mon, 3 Nov. The numbers were only fair and the forecast wasn't as strong as the market would have liked. Earnings were 43 cents per share, missing analysts' estimates by 10 cents. CEO Jim Lines added, "Bookings this past quarter were down considerably and totaled $17.5 million. We believe the third quarter bookings may be light as well."Nearly half of second quarter sales were to the refining industry and much of the business was outside the US. Refineries will continue to need repair, maintenance and upgrades, but it's tough to imagine that business gaining a lot of strength until the economy starts to improve.Chief Accounting Officer Jennifer Condame presented the order backlog, "At the end of the second quarter, backlog was $69.7 million up 23% compared with $56.8 million at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2008." However, the backlog decreased from $76.0 million at the end of the 1st quarter. Still, a nearly $70 million order backlog is great news for a company with a market cap of just over $140 million.During the Q&A, an analyst noted that in past years, bookings for the next year nearly always accurately predicted sales for the year. However, this year, the company's guidance is slightly below the 2009 orders that were in hand at end of fiscal 2008. Mr. Lines explained that orders aren't being canceled, but some customers are extending projects.The company has a strong balance sheet and is interested in pursuing acquisitions at the right price. When asked about plans, Mr. Lines stated, "…the acquisition size would be below $100 million, it would be engineered to order products that fit our brand, that are in the energy sector. Now in the energy sector, we are not just talking about oil refining and petrochemical. We are talking about power generation, alternate energy, [waste] energy, geothermal, areas where the Graham brand is exceptionally strong…" GHM has nearly $43 million of cash on the books and virtually no debt. With a balance sheet like that, they don't need to worry about tight credit markets. But some of their customers do.Oil sands are a potential growth area for GHM, but many of those projects may be on hold at current oil prices. It wasn't mentioned in the call, but many alternative fuel processes require the type of equipment GHM sells.In both my Marketocracy virtual portfolio and real life, I sold off most of my GHM holdings during the spring-summer run up, but have kept a few 'trophy' shares to participate in future growth. GHM does pay a small quarterly dividend, but even with a raise in Sep and the share price drop over the past few days, the yield is below 1%.GHM trades at value stock type multiples with a forward PE below 6. Unlike many companies, the strong backlog and long order-build-deliver cycle make earnings projections fairly believable. Countering that is a weak economy. At prices near $14 a share, the company looks cheap. It may stay cheap or get cheaper, but should be a good stock to average in and wait for the economy to improve. The stock is fairly volatile, so an active trader may be able to do well with it. With over $4 a share in cash and no debt, the company isn't in any danger of failing. Add in EBITDA of 3.6 and the company might look attractive as an acquisition target.In summary, a former high flying, IBD momentum stock that's corrected to value territory. GHM probably isn't in the right business for the present economic cycle, but seems to be very well managed, has an outstanding balance sheet and could turn into a double or triple from current prices when the economy picks up again.All conference call quotes from the transcript at SeekingAlpha.com
Blog from 11/24/2011
Earlier this month, fellow Fool ikkyu2 issued a challenge to post a stock 'buy' analysis sometime in November. Here's mine –
Graham Corporation (AMEX: GHM)
Market Cap - $206.5 million
PE (ttm) - 17.34
Business description - From Q1FY2012 Investor Fact Sheet "Graham Corporation is a global designer, manufacturer, and supplier of custom engineered ejectors, pumps, condensers, vacuum systems, and heat exchangers. Graham Corporation's subsidiary Energy Steel & Supply Co. is a leading code fabrication and specialty machining company dedicated exclusively to the nuclear power industry."
Primary markets - Oil and Gas Refining, Chemical/Petrochemical, Nuclear Power Generation and Other Power Generation
Net Income & Revenue (ttm) - $103.8 mil & $11.9 mil
Some reasons why it's a buy:
The challenge asked us to dive into company balance sheets; easy with Graham. Even though Graham operates in a capital intensive business, the company has no debt and a current ratio of nearly 3.
The time to accumulate an industrial like Graham is before the economy takes off.
About half of Graham's sales come from outside the US. As emerging markets emerge, consumption of refined products will increase, which increases demand for Graham's products.
Legislative pushes to regulate CO2 will drive demand for power sources that don't generate it. Like it or not, nuclear is one of the few ways to get commercial scale power plants that don't create greenhouse gas. Graham's acquisition of Energy Steel last year positions it as a nuclear power supplier.
Although alternative energy isn't currently a key Graham market, many of the power production and alternative fuel production processes need the type of equipment Graham produces.
An enterprise value/EBITDA ratio of just under 8 combined with net cash on the balance sheet puts Graham in a range where it could become a takeover target.
Some reasons why it's not a buy:
At 17 times trailing and 15 times this fiscal year's estimated earnings it isn't exactly cheap. Wednesday's close is just about the middle of the 52-week price range. It needs some earnings growth to justify those multiples.
If European finances and a weak US economy trigger a global recession, Graham will be hard pressed to generate much growth.
The stock can be quite volatile and sports a beta of 2.3, meaning its price moves would be expected to be roughly double the percentage moves of the broad market.
I know the challenge was to write 'buy' cases, but I'm hard pressed to call Graham a screaming buy at this price level. It is a great candidate for a watchlist to wait and see if market volatility might offer it up at a discount to current prices. Graham is a good candidate stock for investors who can tolerate some volatility and have the patience to wait out the sluggish/slow/no growth.
I'm long GHM, have no plans to sell and am watching to add to the position if we get a bit more of a pullback.
Turkey is on the grill and I'm signing off to get a fresh beer and go check the coals.
Fool on and Happy Thanksgiving!

Five Things You Need to Make Your Own "Harlem Shake" Video
Categories: Bangers, The Internet
3. Humping. Lots of humping.
Since we mentioned humping twice already, it's pretty damned obvious that it's an essential element of the "Harlem Shake" video. Make it vigorous, hump everything, anything -- chairs, animals, the wall, your friend, your friend's grandpa, whatever.
2. At least 50 people for when the beat drops.
The more people other than the actual starting dancer, the more impressive the video. And if those people use props, even better. For the best, though, include Pepe Billete, and call it the "Haslem Shake."

Frank Rich's 30-year career at the New York Times had many highlights, but during his first few months as a critic there, he was convinced that accepting the job had been a mistake.
"I was third-string everything, covering radio, TV, theater—you name it," he says. "I was asked by my editor to review a radio show that aired at 2:30 am on a Sunday." Rich figured out that the show starred the newspaper editor's mistress.
A few months later, in 1980, longtime theater critic Walter Kerr decided to retire and recommended Rich as his successor. Rich's tenure in that job lasted 13 years and earned him the nickname the Butcher of Broadway.
Rich, 63, has lived in New York for four decades but grew up in Washington in the 1950s and '60s. He wrote about his childhood, much of it in DC's Cleveland Park, in the memoir Ghost Light, published in 2000. His father, Frank Rich Sr., owned the local Rich's shoe stores, and his often abusive stepfather was a lawyer on K Street.
Unhappy at home, young Frank Rich found solace in the theater, saving money from his paper route to buy tickets to Broadway-bound shows at the National Theatre. Even when he got a job as ticket taker, allowing him to see shows for free, he paid for admission so he could see the opening scenes he missed while counting stubs at the start of each play.
Rich attended Woodrow Wilson High School, where he edited the school paper, and then Harvard, where he wrote for the Crimson. After a fellowship in London, he moved to Richmond, where he started an alternative weekly, the Richmond Mercury. In 1972, he wrote a cover story for The Washingtonian about Washington's singles scene. Rich then moved to New York to be an assistant editor and film critic at New Times magazine and worked at the New York Post and Time before joining the New York Times in 1980.
He left the theater desk to write a weekly column for the opinion section in 1994, remaining at the Times until last year, when he became a writer-at-large at New York magazine. He's also an executive producer of Veep, HBO's satire about an inept female US Vice President, played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Rich appears at the Music Center at Strathmore on October 19 for a conversation with satirist Fran Lebowitz about the national political landscape.
He has two sons from his first marriage: Simon, a writer for Saturday Night Live and a contributor to the New Yorker, and Nathaniel, a novelist. Rich's wife is New York Times Magazine writer Alex Witchel. Over iced tea in the bar at Georgetown's Four Seasons Hotel, he talked about what he's learned.
Do you remember the first show you ever saw?
It was Damn Yankees at the National Theatre. I was about five or six, and I think my parents took me to see it because I was a huge Washington Senators fan. It was the ultimate wet dream—although I didn't know what wet dreams were back then—that the Senators could beat the Yankees of Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris and Whitey Ford.
What impression did the musical make on you?
I didn't understand the story, but I couldn't get over how the scenery changed and how Lola could go from this attractive young woman to this old crone, which happens in the second act. I was hooked. It was a life-changing experience.
What was the National like then?
In those days, before the Kennedy Center or any of the arts centers in Boston and Tampa and Cleveland had been built, the National was it. The National was very popular with producers because you could play to what was, by the standard of the times, a large house with a sympathetic audience. David Merrick, the biggest Broadway producer of that era, would book the National from Labor Day to Christmas, not even knowing whether he was going to do Hello, Dolly! or Pickwick or Oliver! or whatever else he had up his sleeve. It was glamorous, although it's hard to imagine now.
You grew up all over Washington.
When I was born in 1949, we lived in Somerset, which is part of Chevy Chase. My parents split up when I was around seven. My mother had to support herself, so we moved to Rosemary Hills in Silver Spring for a couple of years.
Then she married, and at the height of white flight we moved to Cleveland Park. My mother and stepfather bought a house in 1959 for $29,000 on Cleveland Avenue, between 34th Street and the cathedral. Half the houses on the block were empty because middle-class white families were moving to Montgomery County and Arlington and Alexandria. My stepfather, always glad to have a bargain, moved us in, and I started fifth and sixth grade at John Eaton. The schools technically weren't segregated, but there was de facto segregation and there were so few kids that the fifth and sixth grades were in one classroom.
How did you feel about moving to DC?
I liked being closer to the movie theaters and the National. By then, I probably would have already preferred to be in New York. There was a stigma about being a child of divorce—I didn't know any other kids whose parents were divorced.
Was theater an escape?
It was a fantasy, a place where I was happy. In some way—and I don't mean this in a melodramatic sense—it saved my life. Psychologically, I think my life would have been very different if I hadn't found the theater and if I hadn't had a mother who, when she saw I was passionate about it, indulged it as much as she could.
One of the interesting things in your book Ghost Light is how difficult a character your stepfather, Joel, was but also how supportive he was of your love for the theater, and how in many ways he enabled it.
That's exactly right. The big discovery in writing the book was Joel. In essence, it was my view and the view of many people in my family that he killed my mother. My mother died in a car accident on July 4, 21 years ago, when she was a year younger than I am now. He survived the accident but gradually went mad. I'd been angry at him for most of my childhood, and I didn't understand why my mother stayed with him. But in writing the book, I found myself having a strange kind of gratitude for him. I learned a lot, really, and I think in the end he upstaged my mother and everyone else in the book.
Were you interested in politics at that age?
Yes, in an amateur way. Once the Senators moved to Minneapolis, it became like a sport to follow. I went to the Martin Luther King march with my mother in 1963 when I was 14, then got involved in politics at Wilson because I got caught up in home rule and the fight for civil rights. I always had these two interests—politics and theater. Even at the Harvard Crimson, I reviewed Sondheim musicals trying out in Boston while writing editorials about the Vietnam War.

Singer Says Amanda Bynes Is A 'White Girl Wasted'
Jessie Malakouti of Jessie and the Toy Boys debuts new music video for the troubled actress.
Jessie Malakouti of electro-pop group Jessie and the Toy Boys is premiering her new music video for her single "White Girl Wasted" exclusively on Celebuzz -- and she tells us that it was made with the troubled actress in mind.
"Dear Amanda Bynes, this one's for you," Malakouti says.
Given that the video heavily focuses on sexy getups and making kissy faces at the bathroom mirror, it seems like it would be something up the former Nickelodeon star's alley. (Seriously, Bynes has done this all before.)
"White Girl Wasted" will be available for streaming exclusively on Spotify for three weeks.

I absolutely hate getting on the phone- especially when it comes to airlines. I'm one of those annoying people who will ignore your call and then text you back to see what you want. Perhaps its my Gen Y techie background, but I just feel like I'm wasting my life away when picking up the phone- even the ringing in the beginning makes me feel uncomfortably impatient!
So I was sad to hear that Aeroplan.com recently made some "enhancements" that restrict the amount of information you can see when searching awards.
Firstly, you now have to login to your Aeroplan in order to use the award search engine. Annoying, but I can deal with it.
Secondly, if you don't have enough miles in your account for the award, the amount of taxes and fees will not show! You have to call their service center at 1-800-361-5373 from 7am-midnight ET (or you could always call one of their international offices).
Fuel Surcharges
This wouldn't be such an issue if Aeroplan didn't levy steep fees and fuel surcharges on the awards with the following carriers: Adria Airways, ANA, Asiana, Austrian, LOT Polish, Lufthansa, TAP Portugal and Thai.
My Experience
Just yesterday I was helping a friend find availability to go to Ireland over Christmas since coach flights were $1,200+ for his peak dates. I used United.com to search out of several airports and was actually able to get him a business class saver option on Lufthansa and return on United and Aeroplan. My friend had both Chase and American Express points, but preferred to use Amex points if possible. Great, Aeroplan is an instant 1:1 transfer partner and they only charge 90,000 miles roundtrip for business saver roundtrips to Western Europe vs 100,000 United miles, which are instantly transferable from Chase Ultimate Rewards.
However, the United taxes were only $104 vs. $380+ per an Aeroplan phone agent (which we had to wait ~10 minutes on hold to reach), so he ended up booking via United. The retail value of the ticket was $3,800 and he got those 100,000 Chase points from getting both the Ink Bold and Ink Plus cards at 50,000 points a piece and no annual fee for the first year on either, so he was impressed with the value of his Chase points and now gets why I always nag him to build up his Ultimate Rewards balance!
He could have saved even more miles booking via ANA (only 68,000 Amex!) or Singapore, who are also Amex transfer partners and Star Alliance airlines, but those transfers usually take about 48 hours and since there was only 1 seat left on the flights, he wanted to book it with United as two one-ways so he could change either sector for better routing (ANA won't let you change an award at all after you start traveling).
Tweet for Change
I find this move to be consumer un-friendly and a huge waste of time- for both Aeroplan members and phone agents who now have to field calls from people who could easily get that information on the internet. I suppose Aeroplan wants to limit the information so people feel compelled to transfer in points in advance (since Amex pays Aeroplan for every point people transfer to the program), but it seems like the amount of phone rep time wasted and goodwill lost wouldn't be worth it.
However, as savvy consumers we can (nicely) ask Aeroplan to bring back award pricing transparency to Aeroplan.com. They are pretty active on Twitter, so feel free to Tweet them @Aeroplan something like:
".@Aeroplan Please bring back the ability to see award taxes and fees on Aeroplan.com"
Or you can play dumb and call their Website support line at 1-866-689-8080 and submit a ticket claiming a web outage that their award pricing no longer shows, which must just be a bug (wink, wink). If enough people complain about this "outage" maybe they will change their mind- or maybe it is actually an error that they don't realize. Either way, we should let them know it isn't appreciated.
Hat tip to TPG reader Delvind for emailing me about this sad downgrade.

The Illinois treasurer has bad news for thousands of people who put money into college savings accounts last week: They're not getting a matching donation they had expected.
Participants in the Bright Start savings program were told that deposits of up to $250 would be matched dollar for dollar. The offer was limited to the first 2,500 people.
But the Bright Start website didn't display up-to-date information. It showed the matching money was still available even after all 2,500 slots had been filled.

As guests pass under Lewis' Restaurant and Grille's festive blue marquee, they enter an inviting world of Americana, with a bar that has been in place for generations and a kitchen offering up the appetizing aroma of freshly baked pizzas and Angus beef burgers. Guests share plates of buttermilk pancakes and eggs benedict during Sunday brunches and savor the tastes of inventive burgers and sandwiches, such as caprese-salad burgers or chicken-pesto sandwiches drizzled with balsamic reduction, all week long. Upscale haddock and salmon entrees satisfy refined palates, and a spread of bar food pleases crowds with chicken-finger baskets, tots, and tuna melts.
Though it has welcomed in families and bar regulars for decades, Lewis' has recently updated its interior with new bamboo flooring in the dining room and crisp dollar bills in the bar's cash register. Patrons regularly join in special events hosted by the bar, such as Tuesday-night trivia, where first-placers win a cash prize.
Chef Paul Mancuso, a graduate of Johnson & Wales University's culinary college, curates the restaurant's menu of authentic northern and southern Italian cuisine. An appetizer of arancini, which stitches together English peas, buffalo mozzarella, and ground beef in a fried risotto cake covered in marinara sauce, cordially welcomes palates and their owners to the quaint eatery ($9).
This cozy eatery welcomes growling bellies and their owners, showcasing a menu of classic seafood, chops, burgers, and more in a friendly setting. Warm taste buds on a starter of spicy boneless buffalo tenders ($7.95), or crunch into a Caesar salad to conquer an ambitious appetite ($3.95). For a main course, satiation-seekers can delve into selections such as the Texas BBQ burger, featuring fresh, ground sirloin swaddled with Cajun barbecue sauce and topped with bacon and cheddar ($7.95), or the broiled scallops, spirited from sea to silverware on a sprinkle of lemon butter (14.95). The veal marsala builds a trophy plate that awards diligent mandibles with meat medallions polished with marsala wine and mushrooms ($14.95), and the Steak Dianne, a New York sirloin grilled in seasoned dijon sauce, provides sizzling satisfaction ($14.95). Finish with a slice of sweet Boston cream pie ($3.75), or a sip from the wine list to end the meal on a smooth, grape note. Diners of all ages settle into 204's wooden booths to trade forkfuls or engage in pre-meal shadow puppetry. With high-definition LCD TVs showing local sporting events, guests can tackle plentiful platefuls without missing Tony Award worthy touchdown celebrations or triumphant goal line stands.
The signature entree at Thai Boo Cuisine is so special it even gets its own unique serving dish: instead of merely being served upon a plate, this melange of chicken, sauteed veggies, and housemade sweet-and-sour sauce sits inside an edible egg-wrap basket. Another specialty dish is the Duck Love Boo, a boneless half duck that guests can choose to have glazed in tamaraind, hot basil, or fresh ginger sauce.
Of course, it's not all meat dishes—the selection of rice, noodle, and curry offerings is peppered with vegetarian options such as spicy eggplant sauteed with scallions, chilies, mushrooms, and basil. Plus, there are a dozen gluten-free dishes, including papaya salad with shrimp and rice fried with crab that was on a gluten-free diet.
Founded by a pair of Greek natives, The Feisty Greek dishes up classic Mediterranean cuisine amid a casual, colorful ambiance. Combo meals star the eatery's fleet of burgers and wraps, such as the authentic pork gyro, a tzatziki-flooded amalgam of tomato, onion, and hand-cut french fries. The Feisty burger cloaks a hand-sculpted patty in a spicy feta spread, and the middle-eastern wrap encloses its eponymous region's traditional falafel, tabbouleh, and hummus. Palates chill with cold sides such as melitzanosalata, a puréed-eggplant-and-olive-oil concoction, and hot fasolakia, a bouquet of sautéed string beans, can accessorize portable volcanoes. At meal's end, the Greek-style rice pudding, rizogalo, assuages lingering sweet cravings. In the corner of The Feisty Greek's dining room, a flat-screen TV often glows with movies, while red, yellow, and blue walls bolster diners' knowledge of primary colors more easily than spending the night inside a prism.
Sky Restaurant's chefs prepare an eclectic menu of classic American entrees such as steaks, seafood, and pastas within a spacious, mahogany-framed dining room. A raw bar serves up fresh, local oysters ($3) and jumbo shrimp cocktail ($3) accompanied by a lemon-dijon dipping sauce, much like Atlantis' swankest velvet-rope clubs. Fire-grilled pizzas can arrive in the form of a classic cheese pie with fresh basil ($11) or decked out in specialty toppings, such as the ground beef and cheddar jack cheese found on the bacon-cheeseburger pie ($12). Guests can tear apart mesquite-rubbed baby back ribs ($22) or cut into a 14-ounce black angus new york sirloin ($29) served with house-made sauces such as béarnaise, horseradish cream, or mushroom merlot. Otherwise, a lobster club ($19) layers Maine-lobster salad, avocado, and bacon within sourdough bread, whereas grilled Atlantic swordfish ($28) drapes itself in lemon-caper butter alongside lobster risotto and grilled asparagus.

Chris Lau, Kapitall: Computer suppliers are getting no bullishness from investors. Chip giant Intel (INTC) is down nearly 7% over a year, while Microsoft (MSFT) is up 29%. Barron's recently published an article suggesting that Intel would double in 5 years. The author cited high expenses in research and development and heavy reliance on sales on PCs as reasons Intel shares are underperforming. [Read more from Chris Lau: 5 Investing Ideas as Commodities Tumble ]
Microsoft up, Intel Down
Jack Hough, the writer for Barron's cites four positive developments for Intel:1. Updated Atom chips at 14 nanometers will move ahead of ARM chips, which are 28 nanometers 2. Server chip demand will rise 3. PC sales will be supported by demand from emerging markets 4. Manufacturing costs will keep dropping Analysis ARM Holdings (ARMH) is outperforming Intel by a wide margin, but the high forward multiple of 47 for ARM should scare away conservative investors. Intel pays a dividend that yields 3.7%. As tablets and ultraportable computers choose Atom processors, Intel shares will rise. Intel is currently valued at a forward P/E of 13, less than half that of ARM. ARM is also outperforming NVIDIA (NVDA) and Qualcomm (QCOM). Investors are worried that Intel's latest Haswell processor will hurt PC graphics processor sales. Integrated graphics chip performance is greatly improved with the HD Graphics 4600 on Haswell. Investors forget that the discrete graphics is a market on its own, and that sales in this segment for NVIDIA depend on game releases. Qualcomm is off moderately from recent highs on worries that NVIDIA and Intel would compete more effectively in the 2G/3G/4G market. The Qualcomm Snapdragon line still holds a nearly 60% market share of the baseband market. Intel is trailing, and holds a 12% share.

Can't We All Just Get Along? - page 3
I'll start out by saying I'm a pretty open-minded person, but there are many things I do not and will not ever understand. There's a small part of me that thinks I might have been born in the wrong place and time because I just... Read More

This kind of thing not limited to many threads I happened to read for references, but also happens in real nursing works situation. My simple thought is nurses by their work, facing so many cases that by "caring" principles suppose to having better judgement in seeing differences if compared to any other profession. Caring principles is best approach to making thoughtful opinions in every discussion regardless being agree or disagree with ones opinions. Feel very sad knowing bio-psycho-sosio-spiritual aspects are very much left as part of textbook to read in the class.
Humanly, I've been expressing some disagreements in clearly wrong way, and it left me feel guilty for the rest of the day. Saying things that put others in uncomfortableness is something that is in the contrary to most nursing outcomes applied to the patients.

Southwell home has perfect location
Posted: May 01, 2014|
Peter and Julie Johnson moved to Southwell 29 years ago and in that time they've lived in several different homes. However, it's been Holbrook House that they've loved for the longest. Now, after 16 years, the Johnsons are downsizing – but they won't be moving far.
IT is clear when you speak to Peter Johnson that he loves the area in which he lives. The 64-year-old retired solicitor and his wife Julie, 58, a retired teacher, love the fact that they can walk into Southwell and have everything on their doorstep.
The Minster town is a firm favourite with the couple and they have no plans to move away – but the time has come for them to downsize.
Peter said: "When we moved into the house in 1998 we had three kids living at home, our youngest is now 20 and at university, so it's just the two of us living here now; it's time to find something smaller."
The detached family home has been considerably extended over the years and sits on a plot measured to be in the region of 0.853 of an acre.
Living space is extremely versatile with plenty of reception rooms to the ground floor along with five good-sized bedrooms on the first floor – it's ideally suited to a growing family.
There's a sitting room with double doors leading through to a garden room, a separate dining room with music room off, and a family room; but it's the family dining kitchen that hits the top of Peter's list.
"In 2002 we moved the kitchen from the front of the house to the rear. It now overlooks the South- facing garden, which is fantastic, and has French doors out on to the garden. This is my favourite room."
The couple have created a perfect family dining and cooking space. It is divided into a practical working kitchen area along with ample space for a dining table.
As well as a range of units, there are Neff appliances including a built-in electric double oven and a five-ring gas hob.
There's also an integrated fridge and dishwasher.
The dining area has an ornamental chimney breast as well as the French doors to the garden already mentioned.
A utility room provides further space, as well as having plumbing for a washing machine, space for a tumble dryer, and space and plumbing for an American-style fridge freezer.
There is also a practical downstairs bathroom in addition to the first floor bathroom.
Five bedrooms on the first floor provide plenty of space for the family and for guests.
As part of the Johnson's stamp on the house they have created an en-suite to the master bedroom which includes a double shower enclosure with rainfall shower and hand-held attachment, vanity unit with inset washbasin and wc.
There is also ceramic floor tiling with underfloor heating, as well as a dual-fuel heated towel rail.
Another particular feature of Holbrook House is its garden which has been landscaped to provide an array of patio areas and lawns surrounded by mature plants, trees and shrubs.
"Visitors always love the garden," said Peter.
A driveway provides ample off-street standing space before leading to the double garage.
As for the location, positioned between Burgage Green and Burgage Lane, the house is within strolling distance of Southwell, a fact that the couple love.
"You can walk everywhere," said Peter."A meal out comes without the dilemma of who is going to have a drink and who will drive, we simply walk. We are five minutes from the centre of the town.
"Southwell is historical and picturesque with a country feel. It has a village atmosphere and a vibrant centre with restaurants and pubs, quirky shops, but it also has everything you need – a Co-op, handy centre, medical centre... it has far more facilities than a town of the same size elsewhere would.
"There is a bustling Saturday market with a great fresh fish stall, and the amenities are good – we are in the Minster school catchment area, the leisure centre has a good gym and swimming pool, there are cricket, rugby, football, golf and bowls clubs, and there is also Southwell Racecourse.
"With all this we are also very close to open countryside and we can be walking the dog in the fields within minutes."
In addition, Nottingham, Newark and Mansfield are easily accessible, along with their associated amenities and onward travel links.
Peter said that Nottingham is just 30 minutes by car or 40 minutes by bus, and from Newark it is just an hour and a quarter to London by train.
So while the couple will be sad to sell their lovely home they will certainly be staying within the area. When asked if they would stay in Southwell, the answer was a resounding, "absolutely" and "it's a really, really nice place to live."
Where: Holbrook House, Newark Road, Southwell, Nottinghamshire
Type: Five-bedroom family home
Price: £680,000
Details: Great location and 0.853 of an acre of gardens

Rio Tinto Group will pay as much as $700 million to the government of Guinea to secure development rights to its Simandou iron ore project in the country, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.
Uranium takeovers are on the verge of a comeback that would put companies from Denison Mines Corp. to Fission Uranium Corp. in play.
BHP Billiton Ltd. 's loan underwriters attracted demand in excess of the $45 billion sought to fund the miner's bid for Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan Inc. , a person familiar with the situation said.
Ivanhoe Mines Ltd., which owns the $6 billion Oyu Tolgoi copper mine, said it expects a majority of its board will remain independent after its largest investor, Rio Tinto Group, said it may seek to replace directors and managers.
Rio Tinto Group, the world's second- biggest mining company, rejected a renewed request by Mongolia to renegotiate a 2009 deal over a $6.2 billion mine that Rio plans to start next year.
"The current priority is finalizing the investment framework and for the government of Guinea to secure its financing."

LONDON -- Six Canadian gymnasts are gearing up to compete in the artistic gymnastics event at 2012 Olympics in London.
The team includes 20-year-old Kristina Vaculik of Whitby, who was considered a strong candidate to compete at the Beijing Games four years ago. Her chances were derailed by an elbow injury and the fact Canada failed to qualify a full team.
After a year-long recovery from surgery and time off from Stanford University to train, Vaculik is ready to go for gold.
Artistic gymnastics is the best known of the three gymnastics disciplines at the Olympics -- the other two are rhythmic and trampoline.
It first appeared at the Athens 1896 Olympics.
The men's individual apparatus and team competitions started at the Paris 1924 Games, followed by a women's team event in 1928 and women's individual apparatus competitions added in 1952.
Artistic gymnastics medal events include men's floor, pommel horse, rings, vault, parallel bars and horizontal bar; women's vault, uneven bars, balance beam and floor; as well as individual all-around and team.
Scores are given by a panel of judges who consider factors such as degree of difficulty and quality of the execution.
For the athletes, strength, flexibility and balance are keys to success.
The artistic gymnastics competition starts July 28 at North Greenwich Arena and runs until Aug. 7.
Number of competitors
196: 98 men and 98 women
Competition format
There are four phases: qualification, team final, individual all-around final and individual apparatus finals. All gymnasts compete in the qualifications. The best eight teams then go through to the team final, where three team members compete on each apparatus.
The best 24 individual gymnasts go through to the individual all-around final, where gymnasts compete on all apparatus. The best eight gymnasts on each apparatus go through to the individual apparatus finals.
The jury is made up of nine judges who look at difficulty and execution, deducting marks for penalties.
Jargon buster
All-around: competitions that feature a variety of different elements -- six for men, four for women
Balance beam: a single beam, 5 metres long and 10 cm wide, used exclusively in women's competition

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) - Brent Burns and Patrick Marleau scored goals 49 seconds apart in the first period to lead the San Jose Sharks to their fifth win in six games, 5-1 over the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night.
Bracken Kearns and Logan Couture added goals 1:27 apart in the second period to give each scores in three straight games as the Sharks beat the Oilers for the sixth straight time. Joe Pavelski added a goal and an assist and Antti Niemi made 23 saves for San Jose.
Nail Yakupov scored the lone goal for the last-place Oilers, who looked flat to open the new year in the front end of a difficult back-to-back. The Oilers play Friday night at the first-place Anaheim Ducks, who have not lost at home in regulation all season.
