The big BoJ bang
January 22, 2013 in Uncategorized
"At the same time the BoJ has raised their economic forecasts. I don't know what to think of this. Surely all the past programs were designed to escape deflation? Reminder, the Japanese stock market, the Nikkei hit an all time high on the 29th of December 1989. The intraday print was 38,957.44. The closing level today for the Nikkei 225 was 10709.93 points. Over ten years ago during the dotcom bubble, the Nikkei topped 20 thousand points. A lot of folks think that the Nikkei is dirt cheap, specific stocks that might benefit from exports. But imported energy costs are going to rise, this is a double edged uuuummmm…. Katana?"
To market, to market to buy a fat pig. US markets were closed for the celebration of Martin Luther King day, one of ten federal holidays. The day does coincide with a US presidential inauguration, every four years. Text from the WSJ: President Obama's Second Inaugural Address. This one was attended by one million people. I am pretty sure that it must be a cool to do event, in the flesh. I remember the day that Obama was sworn in the first time, that was a pretty cool speech. The first couple certainly look like the freshest folks since the Kennedy's. The US president is certainly greyer in hair, but other than that he looks the same to me. It must be a difficult job that. I can't imagine the pressure. But, as fun as the day was, the real work of bringing the US together starts now. In fact just tomorrow the US house will vote on whether or not to extend the debt ceiling for just four months. Still, this is a test. Perhaps both sides of the aisle will agree that four months is long enough to bash out something meaningful. We all need it, the overhang of more policy uncertainty is too much to bear.
Talking of banishing uncertainty, the Bank of Japan, the BoJ, (with political push) have embarked upon Buzz Lightyear monetary stimulus. You can read both the Price stability target and more importantly I think, the Open-ended asset purchase method. The intro is simple, "to purchase assets without setting any termination date" tells you what that method will entail. 2 percent is the new inflation target. The Bank of Japan suggests that their program will take some time to filter down to the rest of the Japanese economy. The statement suggests that the Bank of Japan expects that both internal and external demand will pick up gradually this year.
I guess everyone is on the same page on that score. At the same time the BoJ has raised their economic forecasts. I don't know what to think of this. Surely all the past programs were designed to escape deflation? Reminder, the Japanese stock market, the Nikkei hit an all time high on the 29th of December 1989. The intraday print was 38,957.44. The closing level today for the Nikkei 225 was 10709.93 points. Over ten years ago during the dotcom bubble, the Nikkei topped 20 thousand points. A lot of folks think that the Nikkei is dirt cheap, specific stocks that might benefit from exports. But imported energy costs are going to rise, this is a double edged uuuummmm…. Katana? If you don't know what that is, check it out on Wiki, I did.
Jozi, Jozi 26o 12′ 16″ S, 28o 2′ 44″ E Richemont dragged the broader market lower, a sales miss and warning about an uncertain Chinese outlook weighed on the stock. Down just over six percent on the day. This fall and the general sentiment amongst the luxury goods stocks prompted a FT broader special report on luxury goods, I emailed the pdf to my kindle. Imagine using that line twenty years ago. Email? Pdf? Kindle? What is that? Email, OK, Plato and Unix mail systems existed, I remember using Plato in the school library. I wonder what that place looks like? The school library that is. I do know that all the Lance Armstrong books have been moved to the fiction section. I didn't make that line up. The truth is that Swiss watch exports to China have fallen at the end of last month. I do wonder if some of this had to do with the ruling (and only) party in China deciding to take a stance on corruption and cutting back wasteful expensive ceremonies, and if that knock on effect delayed certain purchases. As the FT piece said, when quoting a luxury goods analyst, the rich uncle is not going to stop buying an expensive Rolex at his nephew's wedding. No. The culture of gifting is not going away soon.
But. And this is a big but. The article also suggests that if the current head of the communist party, Xi Jinping (expect him to be president of China in the next two months) does not have a taste for the culture of gifting. And perhaps a fancy wristwatch might impact progress forward internally in the party, how am I to know? We are probably, according to the FT report in a period of normalisation. A period where European sales would continue to be strong, with the tourism trade, whilst North America would improve. And I noticed that the Japanese market was starting to pick up too. So, should we be anxious about owning Richemont? The short answer is no. The company was in excess of 3 billion Euros in cash, either to take advantage of a deal (not now) or as a buffer if times get tougher.
Staying in the region and staying with a multi-national company with South African roots, SABMiller released a Trading Update this morning. At face value it does not seem too impressive: "Lager volumes for the third quarter were 2% ahead of the prior year and soft drinks volumes were 3% higher, both on an organic basis." Group revenue grew by 8 percent in the third quarter, that is a little more impressive. The company is satisfied with the performance.
You can read across the regions that there was fairly ordinary growth, I see that some people are getting anxious about the one line specifically: "Lager volumes in Asia Pacific declined by 1% on an organic basis (which excludes Australia volumes altogether), largely as a result of subdued volumes in China, which declined 3%, due mainly to an exceptionally cold and wet winter across the country." That hardly really matters as Paul points out, that division is not that profitable really. But it is part of their future, along with the continent that I live on. They don't seem that bad to me. The Chinese miss is poor, but not unexpected. The market has taken it in its stride. Neither here nor there, folks are still willing to pay up a lot for what is still considered an emerging market consumer stock. Indeed.
- Byron beats the streets. This morning we received fantastic results from Ellies which saw headline earnings per share more than double for the 6 month period, registering 42.5 cents compared to the previous 6 month period of 21c. In case you were wondering what exactly Ellies get up to, here is a brief description from the presentation.
"Ellies Holdings Limited ("Ellies" or the "group") is a leading South African manufacturer, wholesaler, importer and distributor in diversified sectors, including consumer goods, renewable energy, and power and telecommunications infrastructure, servicing the local and African markets."
Of the consumer goods includes all the DSTV equipment such as the decoder, satellite and the controller. If you are bullish about the growth of Multichoice then Ellies is one of the best ways to benefit. It could be even more direct exposure than Naspers themselves who own so many other businesses along with Multichoice. They also say that a shift to digital TV is imminent which means that everyone is going to have to buy a new decoder at some stage, and that includes SABC users. Ellies of course will be the ones selling the equipment.
Also within the consumer division is the Eskom Project Power Save programme. You know all those power saving lights which were given out for free a while back? Ellies supplied those. And there is the green shop within a shop initiative. Within many Builderswarehouses and similar type stores sits an Ellies section which sells household goods which are geared towards helping you save electricity and water within the home. This is of course an exciting theme. They also supply and retail generators which, since the lights went out in 2008, has been a growing division.
The consumer division grew 112% compared to the previous period and is responsible for two thirds of the groups profits.
The other third of profits is brought in by the infrastructure division, Megatron, who provide Eskom Power stations with products such as cables as well as equipment for solar and wind projects. This is also an exciting industry as Eskom continue to build power stations while private companies look for alternative opportunities to supply to the grid.
So what would an exciting company like this trade at? As you would imagine the share price has followed suit with earnings having gone from 228c at the beginning of 2012 to 820c where it is today. But back of the match box calculations tells me that if you annualise these earnings the company is only trading on 10 times this year's earnings.
The future looks exciting. I am bullish on Multichoice and I know that people who can afford it will make a conscientious decision to go more green. In fact with current Eskom tariff increases power saving is fast becoming a necessity. The infrastructure division will also benefit as our population grows and needs more energy. At these levels I would be buying the stock.
I have been tempted at times to suggest that the annual WEF event in Davos is a giant hobnob and a complete waste of valuable time. Believe me, I have called it far worse "things". But I can see why it is useful. The story goes that our own iconic former President Nelson Mandela was swayed away from a hell-bent socialist viewpoint in Davos. That would not have happened had he not gone there. The cynic in me suggests that all over the world, three billion poor people are thrilled that rich people are meeting in an Über exclusive location to discuss their problems and represent their fears and aspirations. It is darn expensive. No, hellishly expensive to get there, Andrew Ross-Sorkin wrote an article once about the costs: A Hefty Price for Entry to Davos.
See that part about a larger group: "And if you want to take an entourage, say, five people? Now you're talking about the "Strategic Partner" level. The price tag: $527,000. (That's just the annual membership entitling you to as many as five invitations. Each invitation is still $19,000 each, so if five people come, that's $95,000, making the total $622,000.)" Whoa! That is nearly five and a half million Rands for five people, over one million ZAR per person for just being there. Forget the hotels, the air tickets, the train tickets, the costs of throwing an event and inviting a whole lot of people. Catering costs. Live bands. Google paid big bucks for that, see lower in the article.
But who fits the bill? I presume shareholders for companies and taxpayers for governments. So, that is people like us! And is it worth it? Well, I guess it could be. I can understand for a financial journalist that it is near the pinnacle of their respective careers. Being able to mix with the business elite globally and political heavyweights at the same time, I suspect that there are very few places one can do that. Plus, it is also a beautifully picturesque place nestled in the Swiss Alps. According to Wiki, there are a little over 11 thousand permanent citizens of Davos, which also happens to be the highest city in Europe. That helps, with all due respect to Mogadishu, if it was held there I suspect very few people would turn up.
Networking amongst humans is still key. Location of the event is key. But I suspect that Skype, or the Google tool to invite people into circles could work well, but then you can't "feel" people out. The expense? Well, if someone else is paying, why not! But when it turns out that is you, perhaps you might think differently about it.
Crow's nest. It is easy to always be anxious. To counter that you should not be drinking excessive amounts of coffee, washing down glazed donuts. Sunflower seeds, yoghurt (the healthy kind) and bananas. Try those. But the point that I am trying to make is that it seems like people are always preparing for market Armageddon. Remember when Greece was going to exit the Euro zone? Remember? That was awful. Check this out: Greece Govt Bond 10 Year Acting as Benchmark. March 2nd 2012, that same said bond was yielding 37.2 percent. The Greeks were going to default right? No. Wrong. That same said bond now yields 10.41 percent. Good luck with betting on the Armageddon outcome. Pfff…. recently I acquired a doormat, which stands at my front door that says Keep Calm and Come In. Quite. Welcome to all those folks who are feeling better about joining the equity market rally.
And. I spoke to one of my favourite clients yesterday (you are all my favourites I promise) and he said something interesting. He said that when he just got married (all of 45 years ago) a friend, who was an accountant said that the US debt situation was unsustainable. Hmmm… it seems to always turn out that people don't count on humans, real people, to solve the problems and prefer to use calculators and spreadsheets to make predictions. Markets are slightly lower across the globe. We can back away from policy decisions and politics for a little to continue with earnings season.

Funny tattoos, misspellings, product placement, celebrity portraits
Idiots! Spell check first
I really don't care what the variation is, wings on the back are just so dumb.
Even dumber when the words are spelled incorrectly
At least they spelled angel correctly. It could say gaurdian angle. :)Regardless, it's still stupid.
What's up with the accent on the "i"???
Retarded tattoo, dovetailing nicely with the retarded execution. Probably not a coincidence.
Wings? The only wings I have are made by Kotex.
read it so fast I thought it said Kardashian lol
Nice one @ missy ,
Mother and father were brother and sister.
I wonder how long it takes the tatoo'd person to figure out the mispelling. I would be livid!!

Keeping up to date also would mean old versions I have marked stable dropping out too early for my release profiles, and I would have to maintain them in a separate overlay anyway. So I'm planning to update my local <200 package versions once a year or much less often, or when a specific feature is required, while still keeping the really old stable versions around. > And as soon as one of your users > adds the main tree as an overlay, those packages will take precedence > over your own, carefully-maintained tree? Yes. But this isn't a real use-case for my users here. /haubi/ -- Michael Haubenwallner Gentoo on a different level

The Under the Elms 2014 summer concert series will temporarily relocate to another outdoor venue on College Green due to construction scheduled to place this summer.
The music series, which has been taking place nearly every summer since the late 1940s, gathers community and Ohio University musicians for weekly concerts over a period of five weeks. The concerts are traditionally held on the College Green under the mature elm trees that shade the space between Chubb Hall and Memorial Auditorium. This year, however, they will be held near by in the amphitheater outside of Scripps Hall.
The concert series rain location remains the same. If inclement weather affects the evenings performance, the show will take place inside Memorial Auditorium.
This year's schedule is:
June 4 Tribute to the Greatest Generation (D-Day 70th Anniversary)
June 11 Be Our Guests, Part One featuring area band directors
June 18 Be Our Guests, Part Two featuring C. Scott Smith, horn; Joey Van Hassel, snare drum; and participants of the OHIO Summer Music Camp

In desperate need of financial help
My husband has serious health issues. He had a liver transplant in 1994. He had a heart attack in October 2006. Both of his kidneys are shutting down. He is unable to work. Put in for SSDI & SSI. They lost the paperwork twice. Did all of the paperwork and have been waiting for over 2 years. I lost my job in April of 2007. We have sold everything. We have used credit cards in order to pay for my husband's medications. Without one of them, prograf, he would die. It costs about $600. All of our credit cards are maxed out. We have zero (0) income. I have put in resume's since April of 2007 and have had a few interviews but no luck yet. We are behind in our mortgage by 4 months. We are going to lose our home without help. I do not know how we will pay any of our bills now. I pray each day and constantly look for work. I try to help others by doing something nice for them, such as holding a door open etc. I have always been able to find work but this time it is so different. I am hopeful that we will touch someone's heart and they will help us. God Bless You All.

Re: In desperate need of financial help
It hurts to read posts like yours... I simply don't know what to say, and there is not much that I can do to help, besides keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. You live in a beautiful area, quite close to the Kissimmee. Have you thought of possibility of running a B&B? I know that at this point this may seam like an idea out of this world... but sometimes an idea is that one thing that can get you going again. In fact, my advice to anyone who feels like they are at the end of their rope... is to take a good, hard look at anything that is still positive in their life. Look at your abilities, your knowledge, your education, and even your hobbies. Make the list of things that you KNOW. That knowledge could be the answer to your troubles! Someone may need that knowledge. YOU are a goldmine of possibilities! You just have to tap into that resource. If you could earn some income as opposed to not earning any income at all? Would you try it? Shift your way of thinking from I can't find a job... to: If I can't find a job... I will create one! This is the time of opportunities! They are just a bit different opportunities. Believe in yourself. Everything happens for a reason, and you are strong enough to get through this. God is right there with you, holding your hand through thick and thin. He will open that window, if all those doors are slammed in your face. Stay strong, I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. |

SaaS Web Content Management Provider Clickability is picking up some nice accolades itself lately and according to CEO John Girard, these honors are a testament to Clickability's growth with high profile companies in a number of industries. And that's not all they have to talk about these days.
Industry Awards
Clickability has been recognized by two different companies: JMP Securities and Nollenberger Capital Partners, Inc.
JMP Securities Thinks Clickability is Hot
Listed as one of the hottest 100 private companies in the software industry, JMP Securities, an investment banking and asset management firm, believes that SaaS is a major trend this year.
An Honorable Mention by Nollenberger
Clickability received an honorable mention in Nollenberger Capital Partners, Inc's Top 200 Private Technology Companies for 2008. There were 100 companies on the Honor Mention List.
Nollenberger recognizes companies they believe will "achieve a liquidity event or raise capital at an uptick valuation in the next 12 to 36 months. The companies are typically late-stage, privately held technology companies."
New Executive Appointments
Along with the recognition they are receiving lately, Clickability has been making some executive appointments:
VP of Engineering and Client Services
Steve Atherton comes from leading tech teams at companies like Motorola, Sybase and ClearCommerce. With over 25 years experience in technology, engineering and sales, Steve Atherton will manage the evolution of Clickability's WCM platform and continue to increase the customer base.
VP of Technology Operations
Tom Cignarella has been appointed Vice President of Operations at Clickability. Responsible for all aspects of the SaaS infrastructure including reliability, performance and security, he has managed operations at companies such as PlanetOut, Symantic, BEA and Excite.
Director of Software Engineering
Responsible for delivering on the technical vision of the Clickability WCM platform is now Julia Fasick as Director of Software Engineering. Fasick will head up the development, QA and product management teams. Her 18 years of experience at companies like RSA Security will certainly come in handy.
New Places for Clickability
Finally, as they grow and expand, location becomes important. Clickability has announced it is adding a new SAS 70-certified, co-location center, furthering supporting it's belief that SaaS is Green.
With lots to talk about when it comes to Clickability lately — with their new Google Website Optimizer partnership, new video services, their CODiE award and now all this — we wonder what news they'll come out with next.

That is just AWESOME looking...think the pictures on the sails will scare the competition?...lol
Click here for rest of the entire article:Be ye warned! There's a pirate ship headed for the high seas. When the Volvo Ocean Race starts Nov. 12 from Vigo, Spain, the sloop with the skull and crossed cutlasses on the sails will stand out from the rest of the fleet. The Black Pearl.
Although this Black Pearl won't slip mysteriously out of fog banks, and Johnny Depp won't be at the wheel as Capt. Jack Sparrow, The Walt Disney Co. has found a high-tech, floating billboard to promote "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest," the first of two sequels to its surprise 2003 blockbuster, "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl."
Disney is backing the only U.S. entry in the 31,250-mile, nine-leg, around-the-world race that attracts only the hardiest of scabrous dogs, who must dodge icebergs in the Southern Ocean and navigate the Doldrums and even the Bermuda Triangle.
Here's the ship's website:
always plotting, planning, and looking forward to our next adventure...

So Monday nights I've been taking this exercise class where as I'm about to fall over in pain the instructor yells out something along the lines of, "…only eight more and then you'll be Spring Break Sexy." I'm not exactly sure what spring break sexy entails, oooohh maybe we should urban dictionary it. On second thought…no, that never (like ever) ends well.
So as I ponder if spring break sexy is something I should be striving for, I'm provided with just enough distraction for me to be able to survive those last eight jumping lunges. And then I realize…there are still 39 minutes left of class. Gahhhhhhhhh.
So for the remaining 37 minutes (I used from minute 39 to minute 37 to have a pity party for myself about how I won't survive and this is the most pain I've ever been in and I just want a hug but I don't want a hug because I'm sweating and that'd be awkward and ugghhh life is just so hard)…whoa.
To avoid the shame I would have to feel if I walked out of the exercise class early, I manage to struggle through the remaining 37 minutes by thinking about food. Glorious food. And I think about dinner. And what I want to make for dinner.
Last Monday all I could think about was wanting something coconuty and pineappley. Like a pina colada. But drinking a pina colada for dinner is frowned upon so I needed a way to make this idea seem not so very irresponsible.
So after the workout I went to the grocery store, bought pre-sliced pineapple spears, ate 4 spears on the way home, got everything in my car sticky as a result of eating those spears, got home, and then I made this dinner.
And come next Monday, I'll do it all over again.
Sweet & Sour Chicken with Coconut Brown Rice
serves 2
Coconut Brown Rice
1 cup lite coconut milk
1/8 cup water
1/2 cup brown rice
Sweet & Sour Chicken
1 large chicken breast, chopped into large chunks and seasoned with salt/pepper
2/3 cup onion, chopped
1/2 cup red bell pepper, chopped
2/3 cup pineapple chunks, (3 pineapple skewers cut into about 18 pieces)
3 Tbsp pineapple & chili sauce (I used Thai Kitchen)
1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil, divided
Coconut Brown Rice
In a medium sauce pan, bring coconut milk and water to a boil over high heat. Stir in brown rice. Reduce to a simmer and cover. Allow to simmer for 45 minutes, or until rice is cooked.
Sweet & Sour Chicken
Add 1 Tbsp olive oil to a saute pan over medium-high heat. Add in red bell peppers and onions. Cook, stirring frequently until soft, about 8 minutes. Scoop softened vegetables onto a plate and set aside.
Reduce heat to medium and add 1/2 Tbsp olive oil into your saute pan. Add in chunks of chicken and saute until cooked, about 10 minutes (flipping chicken cubes every couple minutes). Once cooked, add softened red bell peppers and onions in with the chicken. Stir in pineapple chunks and allow pineapple to caramelized for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add in pineapple and chili sauce and stir until everything is coated and sauce is heated. Serve chicken mixture over coconut brown rice.

Make A Healthy Lunch This Food Revolution Day!
Fri 03 May 2013Story by Jennifer Tyler Lee
In honor of Jamie Oliver�s Food Revolution Day, we�re making healthy lunches! Moms across the country share their easy, healthy lunch ideas in The Healthy Lunch Challenge.
School lunches remain one of the biggest hurdles in the food revolution fight. Thanks to Jamie Oliver�s inspiring efforts, and the community of food revolutionaries who support him, we�ve made progress. But there�s still important work to be done.
So in honor of Jamie Oliver�s Food Revolution Day, we�re taking back lunch! Together with Kelly Lester of Easy Lunchboxes, I launched The Healthy Lunch Challenge. Moms across the country are coming together to share their healthy lunch ideas � from creative ways to boost colors in your box to fun ways to try a few new foods.
It�s easy to build a healthy lunchbox, with just a few simple steps:
Step 1: Eat Your Colors
The first key to a healthy lunch is to make it colorful! The same principles that we use playing Crunch a Color to build balanced, healthy dinners can be used in your lunch box: three colors + one protein + one healthy grains. Not only does it make your lunch more fun, it�s more healthy! Jill from Meet the Dubiens shares a few fun and colorful ideas.
Step 2: Make it Easy
The antidote to our frantically busy schedules? Make lunch easy! Assemble a stable of recipes featuring healthy ingredients that can be whipped up in a flash. Marla Meridith at Family Fresh Cooking is masterful at dishing up easy, family fresh ideas. Her Giddy Up Pasta is a super example of how to transform a few simple ingredients into a delicious and easy lunch.
Another way to make it easy? Leftovers for lunch! Brenda at Meal Planning Magic shows us how, along with a few more time saving tricks.
Step 3: Think Out of the Box
Processed foods begone! Your ticket to a healthy lunch is to "Think Out of the Box." Try remaking your boxed favorites in a healthy way, starting with chicken fingers. Cristi at Bent on Better Lunches shows us an easy remake of this lunch staple. Make it even better by choosing organic meats raised without antibiotics.
Step 4: Try New Foods
Do you serve the same three things in your lunchbox over and over? That qualifies as a lunch rut! Break out by trying a new food each week. Head out to the local farmers� market and let your kids pick a new veggie or fruit to try. Or use the Crunch a Color Foods by Color chart for a little inspiration. The creative Keeley McGuire shows us a fun way to try Brussels sprouts.
Step 5: Cook it Together
�The most important thing in your diet is not a nutrient, but an activity: cooking.� Michael Pollan�s new book, Cooked, is calling us back to the kitchen to savor the pleasures of cooking together as a family. Lunch is no exception. One of the keys to getting kids to eat their healthy lunches is to get them making their own healthy lunches.
Together with your kids, create a meal plan for the week. Invite them into the kitchen and encourage them to experiment with their own healthy lunch recipes. You can start with something as simple as DIY almond butter pizzas inspired by Venia at Organized Bites or BLT Kabobs from Deb at iPackLunch. Or bake up a batch of gluten-free blueberry muffins from Amy The Family Chef. Most important: cook together!
According to Laurie David, �When everyone is involved in the meal, they become invested in it in a new way.� I couldn�t agree more! This Food Revolution Day we�ll be celebrating by cooking and enjoying a healthy lunch with friends. I hope you�ll join us!
Still hungry? Check out the full roundup of healthy lunch ideas from The Healthy Lunch Challenge.
What do you pack in your lunch box? Share your healthy lunch ideas!

Causal Effects of Single-Sex Schools on College Entrance Exams and College Attendance: Random Assignment in Seoul High Schools

Despite the voluminous literature on the potentials of single-sex schools, there is no consensus on the effects of single-sex schools because of student selection of school types. We exploit a unique feature of schooling in Seoul—the random assignment of students into single-sex versus coeducational high schools—to assess causal effects of single-sex schools on college entrance exam scores and college attendance. Our validation of the random assignment shows comparable socioeconomic backgrounds and prior academic achievement of students attending single-sex schools and coeducational schools, which increases the credibility of our causal estimates of single-sex school effects. The three-level hierarchical model shows that attending all-boys schools or all-girls schools, rather than coeducational schools, is significantly associated with higher average scores on Korean and English test scores. Applying the school district fixed-effects models, we find that single-sex schools produce a higher percentage of graduates who attended four-year colleges and a lower percentage of graduates who attended two-year junior colleges than do coeducational schools. The positive effects of single-sex schools remain substantial, even after we take into account various school-level variables, such as teacher quality, the student-teacher ratio, the proportion of students receiving lunch support, and whether the schools are public or private.

I saw where someone had posted a pic in the GW Gallery Name That Plant and said she got it from an ebay seller.
What do you think? I can't find anything on line for a Gypsy Mystic. Might it be spelled a bit differently? I wonder if this might be from the seller who was making up names for the irises she was selling last year (and this year too I think). Sue |
Here is a link that might be useful: Gypsy Mystic at GW Gallery Name That Plant
Follow-Up Postings:
I've found a reference in a couple of places, this seems to have the most info, the other didn't have a picture, just a description, which sounds like the one pictured. This has 1993 as intro date http://www.gardens.com/forums/t/439344/ |
The picture at Dave's Garden on pg.19 of G's lists it as hybridized by Tompkins. |
I am the ebay seller she bought it from and this is the description I have from the AIS register. If it is not correct please let me know so I can ditch it.

ABCs of Death 2 contest entry M is for Mundane premieres
Watch and vote for the short film at http://bit.ly/19KIXqJ
New England-based independent production company Wicked Bird Media is proud to present M is for Mundane, their submission for the ABCs of Death 2 'Search for the 26th Director' contest. Watch and vote for M is for Mundane at http://26th.abcsofdeathpart2.
M is for Mundane stars John T. Woods (V/H/S/2, Mega Snake) as Winston, a regular guy with a boring life – sleep, eat, work, repeat - until it's revealed that there's something a bit different about his everyday habits.
A rare female-created entry in the competition, M is for Mundane is written and directed by Wicked Bird Media's Andrea Wolanin. "M is for Mundane is a great commentary about how we only see what we want to see in the people around us," says Wolanin, "And how we should take a step back to find out what's really inside."
"We're very excited to be submitting this film to the ABCs of Death 2 contest," adds Stacy Buchanan, who produced the short with her Wicked Bird Media co-founder Jessica Barnthouse. "M is for Mundane is not only a piece we're proud of, it's also a reflection of the work we'll be producing in the future as female filmmakers within the horror genre."
The winning contest entry will be included in 2014′s ABCs of Death 2, alongside such directors as Marcus Dunstan (The Collection), Vincenzo Natali (Splice), Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo (Inside), Alejandro Brugués (Juan of the Dead), Rodney Ascher (Room 237), Jen and Sylvia Soska (American Mary), Steven Kostanski (Manborg), Álex de la Iglesia (The Last Circus) and Larry Fessenden (The Last Winter).

The King and I. Some of the problems with this production are inherent in the show itself. With its emphasis on strong women and abhorrence of anything resembling slavery, The King and I was progressive for its time, but no artist can entirely escape the myths and preconceptions of his own culture. So Rodgers and Hammerstein showed the people of Thailand as caricatures -- the women seductive and giggly, the men stiff as cardboard cutouts. The King -- in some ways and on his own terms a wonderfully humorous and quixotic character -- is still in need of civilizing. And who best to do it but a white, upper-class Englishwoman? The songs endure. No one ever wrote better love songs than Rodgers and Hammerstein. Shelly Cox-Robie makes Anna charming and radiant, and her voice is sweet and pure. Wayne Kennedy does sterling service as the King, though he makes the character funny and cuddly; there's no hint here of the dangerous, mercurial figure we expect, and that would jolt the plot into life. Presented by Boulder's Dinner Theatre through March 26, 5501 Arapahoe Avenue, Boulder, 303-449-6000, www.theatreinboulder.com. Reviewed November 10.
Measure for Measure. Shakespeare's Measure for Measure is considered a comedy because nobody important dies in it and all the protagonists couple at the end, but like The Merchant of Venice, it's a shadowed comedy; at every turn, the plot threatens to tumble into tragedy. Kent Thompson has placed his version in fin de siècle Vienna, a setting that -- with its waltzes and colorful curlicued designs -- buoys the lighter parts of the play. But even as Vienna's citizens enjoy their chocolate-box culture, we know that World War I and the end of the Austro-Hungarian empire loom. The Duke of Vienna has allowed licentiousness to flourish, and it is now out of control. Feeling he can't lower the boom himself, the Duke decides to leave town for a while, placing his deputy, Angelo, in power. One of Angelo's first acts is to sentence a young man, Claudio, to death for impregnating his betrothed. Claudio's sister, Isabella, is about to enter a nunnery. Told of her brother's arrest, she hurries to the deputy to plead for his life. Angelo falls for her, promising to spare Claudio if she'll sleep with him. Thompson's interpretation shines new light on the trickier aspects of this plot. His Duke is a good-natured bumbler, and he has also chosen to stress the nastiness of the Viennese underworld rather than make its pimps and whores humorously appealing. This is a beautifully conceived production, beautifully played. Presented by the Denver Center Theatre Company through February 25, Stage Theatre, Denver Performing Arts Complex, 303-893-4100, www.denvercenter.org. Reviewed February 16.
Party of 1. This is a good play to go to with a date, or to attend in hopes of finding one. The show is a sequence of cabaret songs dedicated to the joys and pains of singlehood, slightly reminiscent of I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change, though without the monologues; fizzier and more light-hearted than Sex and the City, but less weighted with ego and pretension. Four appealing people spin through songs with topics ranging from the insecurities raised by meet-and-mingle functions to the intense ambivalence you feel when someone with whom you're having a great relationship actually takes the next step and moves into your apartment. Party of 1 ran forever in the Bay Area, where writer-composer Morris Bobrow is famed for his clever lyrics and bright, listenable tunes. Good-natured and enjoyable, with just an edge of grown-up irony, the show deserves its popularity.

The Raft. There's one slightly original element in this play: three "Gazes" who surround the central character and apparently represent the critical and unhelpful voices of other people. But otherwise, this is a shallow, sloppily written script that relies on cultural cliches. Marta is attempting to cope with a mid-life crisis by lying around in bed eating chocolate and drinking wine -- Menopause the Musical without the songs. Marta's highly ambitious sister, Elan, is pushing her daughter to attend an Ivy League college and sneering at the University of Colorado, where Marta's two sons appear to be partying and pot-smoking their youth away -- at least until the younger son gets his lover pregnant. Many moments strain credulity, and the plot keeps shedding all over the stage. There's also some real tone-deafness here: No one should be subjected to such pseudo-philosophical lines as "What's your raft?"

Red Scare. This is a hit-and-miss proposition, with mildly amusing moments alternating with laugh-yourself-silly skits and a few out-and-out clunkers. There's nothing particularly sophisticated, surprising or cutting-edge about the renowned Second City's Red Scare, but there is some funny stuff. In one scene, a teacher in a rough school comes into her classroom after hours to find a student planning to rifle her purse -- but in the end, he tells her in song, he couldn't steal from her because "I Saw Your Paycheck." In another, a suicidal Shakespearean heroine is talked out of her despair by a sassy gay friend. There's a good sketch about the exaggerated way white people talk to their black co-workers; a sad-funny bit involving a coach and his cancer-stricken wife; a monologue in which the talented Amber Ruffin gives grandmotherly advice about marriage and childbirth.

Best New Play Denver 2001 - O.T.
Smartly directed, honestly acted and imaginatively written, HorseChart's production of O.T. took on prickly issues with the kind of spunky tenacity that one expects from a group of theatrical renegades. Clay Nichols's drama, which was mounted as part of the National New Play Network, mixed flashback-style scenes with current happenings to raise questions about the embedded attitudes that give rise to prejudice and racism. The play worked because Nichols took pains to reveal each issue's complexities and ambiguities; combined with director Brett Aune's straightforward approach, O.T. proved that it deserved to be further developed and mounted again.

You won't need to get out your favorite MGM film to see people singing and dancing on the streets this summer.
The annual Make Music New York festival which welcomes in summer with scores of free musical performances scattered throughout the streets and parks, is coming to dozens of locations in Queens.
On June 21 thousands of musicians, professional and amateur alike, will spend the longest day of the year performing almost every genre imaginable throughout the city.
"From 10 in the morning to 10 at night, musicians of all ages, creeds, and musical persuasions — from hip-hop to opera, Latin jazz to punk rock — perform on streets, sidewalks, stoops, plazas, cemeteries, parks and gardens," MMNY boasts on its website.
Now in its seventh year, MMNY is one of over 500 festivals around the world that usher in the summer with a day of music. The goal is to "eventually expand to the point where, as with Halloween, New Yorkers will organize themselves largely without prompting," its website says.
Sunnyside Shines Business Improvement District will host concerts at two pedestrian plazas under the No. 7 train. The plaza at 40th street and Queens Boulevard will showcase saxophonist Forbidden Donut between 2 and 4 p.m. At 3 p.m, a two-piece band called History will perform music that combines blues, gospel, rock and soul at 46th Street and Queens Boulevard, followed by indie rock duo The Occident at 5 p.m. and the all-male a cappella group Ten and Change at 6:30 p.m.
Started in 2000, Ten and Change has 12 members but boasts an alumni list of over 50. They have performed in places all over the city, including Shea Stadium and at last year's MMNY festival.
"Make Music New York celebrates the first day of summer with free music all over the five boroughs and it's a great way for us to reach new fans and introduce more people to a cappella music," member and social media and website manager Josh Springer said.
"With NBC relaunching 'The Sing-Off,' a cappella is making a comeback, and Make Music New York is the perfect festival to showcase what a cappella is all about," he said.
In a city where the price of show tickets can be sky-high, the accessibility of MMNY is a welcome change.
"I hope that we really activate the space under the 7 train for a day," Sunnyside Shines Director Rachel Thieme said. "We really want people to come out and enjoy the music in Sunnyside, and we hope that it activates the commercial district."
Other venues include the Queens Library at Broadway in Astoria, Athens Square Park in Astoria, McKinley's Children's Garden in Jamaica and the Post Office in Jackson Heights.
Musician Roberto Buscarsi is scheduled to perform in seven different spaces, starting at 10 a.m. in McKinley's Children's Garden. He will then travel to Astoria, Elmhurst and finally Sunnyside, where he will perform under the No. 7 train and at Cafe Marlene.
Performances in Ridgewood include musicians from Joe Fuoco's Music Center playing from 4 to 8 p.m. at the 71st Avenue Triangle and a show at Venditti Square that will welcome bluegrass, folk, indie, gypsy, blues and gospel musicians starting at 2 p.m.
In addition to the registered performances, the festival's program called Mass Appeal gives people the opportunity to join one of 22 mass musical groups. These groups are open to musicians with any and all experience, and range from attempting to have 100 saxophonists play at the same time, to bands consisting only of gongs, harps or double-reed instruments.
More information on how to join these mass groups, as well as a complete list of all the festival's performances organized by location and genre, can be found at makemusicny.org.
When: Friday, June 21, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Where: Various locations
Tickets: Free, makemusicny.org

Tool's axman reveals the 10 guitarists that inspire his own far-out six-string style.
So many legendary lines to choose from, but you can only pick one ... at a time. You could come back and pick another one at another time ... but that's nitpicking, isn't it?
Recently, we invited the Dear Hunter's Casey Crescenzo up the Guitar World studios for unplugged takes on two tracks from his sprawling new project, The Color Spectrum. Check out video of Casey performing "Things That Hide Away " and "We've Got a Score to Settle" below.
From a young kid in Indiana whose first concert was Motley Crue's Girls, Girls, Girls tour to playing Brazil's massive Rock In Rio Festival, DJ Ashba has taken his creative talents and become an integral part of two of the most successful bands on the planet. With a top 10 album in This Is Gonna Hurt with Sixx:A.M. earlier this year and now playing live beside one of rock's most iconic vocalists, Axl Rose, you could say Ashba is having a pretty good 2011.
"The music's as thick as the air, it just kind of works," says Black Tusk bassist Johnathan Athon of the band's signature sound. Dubbed "swamp metal," the Savannah, Georgia-based band released their latest album, Set the Dial, earlier this week, an album that's sure to land near the top of many a year-end list. While there's nothing "progressive" about the album, the guys have noticeably honed their craft.
Sean Chambers is no stranger to the Long Island Blues Warehouse radio show. After a successful appearance last year, he and his band — drummer Paul Broderick, bassist Tim Blair (Note: Jeff Artabasy, formerly with Dan Toler, recently became Chambers' bass player) and harmonica player Gary Keith — were invited back for an encore in 2011.
This week, GuitarWorld.com readers, I have an interview with one of my all-time favorite singers. The man needs no introduction, but I'll give him one anyway. SAVAGE ANIMAL!!! ... Sebastian Bach.
Here's another episode of the "Guitar World Plays Rocksmith" video series, where different Guitar World staffers play Rocksmith, a new authentic guitar game.
The Unites States had a new president and a new era of rock: grunge. Tell us what you think the best guitar album of 1993 is.
Kenosha, Wisconsin, has to be the unlikeliest source of heavy metal, but we all need to thank this town for producing Lazarus A.D., an absolutely killer band that started out of there around six years back. Their music can be described as a blend of thrash and groove metal, with elements of traditional heavy metal thrown in for good measure. Their debut album, The Onslaught, was released in 2009, and they were on tour with Testament not long after that.

CustomerJamie from Mitchell SD
First I removed the three screws with a nut driver and then disconnected the wire plug from the old ice maker. I plugged in the new unit and re-installed the screws and instantly the unit started to work. I did have to adjust the water level on the unit ...just turn the small plastic knob (use a slotted screw driver) on the side of the unit counterclockwise to increase the water level (do not turn more than one full turn or you could damage the unit) . It works perfect and saved me lots of money!!

CustomerLeopold from Warren NJ
The old ice maker's protective finish flaked off causing some cubes to stick to the mold and consequently water overflow into the bin below causing ice cubes to fuse into large ice globes. After reading customrs' reviews, the replacement with new icemeker from PartSelect was easy. I unpluged the fridge, loosend two screws on top of ice maker and removed one screw on the bottom, removed old ice maker and inserted the new one in its place. I reused the old wireing harness for new ice maker. It started producing ice within 2 hours and it works flowlessly since. Thank you PartSelect for sending the correct part and informative repair hints on your webside.
CustomerDale from Elk Grove CA
After removing the old icemaker ( 3 screws) I put the new piece right back in place . Just plugged in the wiring that was already in place from the old icemaker, Hung the new ice maker on the two screws left in the wall of the freezer. Be sure and put the arm on the new icemaker prior to hanging it on the wall. tighten the screws and put the white plastic end cap over the exposed rotor end. Turn on the water to the refridgerator and in about two hours you will have ice. Be sure and turn off the water to fridge before undoing the old icemaker and unplug the fridge from elctric outlet during the whole process. Simple

I first went on line to trouble shoot. Discovered it was the Ice Maker itself then then I entered the part number in your system to purchase the ice maker unit. When the unit arrived I simply took a socket for three bolts unplugged the electrical connection and reversed this for the installation. It was simple. I described to my secretary the process and she told her husband who in turn replaced their icemaker.

Using the video at http://www.partselect.com/PS358591-Whirlpool-4317943-Replacement-Ice-Maker.htm?SourceCode=14 I was able to swap out the old ice maker and put in the new. It was easy. The trickiest part was working in the tight confines of a full freezer.
ToolsNutdriver, Screw drivers

removed 3 screws and power wire clip, removed old ice maker, reinstalled new ice make by snaping in power wire clip and the 3 screws that hold ice maker, reinstalled wire bracket/arm that stops ice maker once tray is full of ice. done

CustomerBrian from Alto MI
Used a voltage meter to detect the problem (used a video from the web to determine how to isolate the problem. I needed to replace the unit, that I had repaired two years ago for $150.00 or more for parts an a service call. The part I ordered came right away and the repair took about 15 minutes.
CustomerRobert from Kansas City MO
removed 3 screws with 1/4 nutdriver and unplug icemaker and removed from Refrigerator. Waited for 2 days and new icemaker arrived. Plug in icemakes mounted using the 3 screws. Done in less then 5 min. working fine.
CustomerLarry from Merritt Island FL
Removed and replaced the ice maker
CustomerVickie from Hays KS
Watched the website repair & adjustment video, ordered the part which was exactly like the one currently in the fridge. Took only 10 min. to install. Then, 2 hours later we had ice! And still have ice on a consitent basis. Easy fix, life's good!
CustomerJoao from Chandler AZ
removed old part and instal the new one :)
CustomerTim from Olivebridge NY
I had falsely assumed that the ice maker control module was the problem, so I ordered a new one and replaced it. Still no ice. Upon closer examination of the whole unit, I noticed the heating element had a corroded spot, and checked it with a continuity tester, and found it was bad. I ordered a new complete ice maker unit, and it was actually easier to replace the whole unit rather than just the control module, and only cost about $20 more. I was able to return the control module for a full refund. I would highly recommend replacing the whole ice maker if it is not working, rather than just the control module. It is also handy to know that there are little "ports" on the control module for testing all the functions with a multi-tester. One for the motor marked with an "M", "T" for thermostat, "H" for heater, "N" for neutral. Had I known all this from the start, it would have saved me a lot of time and trouble replacing the wrong part!
CustomerJames from Wadsworth OH
There are 3 screws the one on the bottom comes all the way out, the 2 on top just need to be loosened. Lift up on the ice maker to clear screws, pull away a little bit then while holding disconnect the wire harness from the ice maker by pushing down the locking tab with a flat head screw driver. Then reversed the process with the new one, it took an hour or so but the ice started falling, a day later the bucket was full.
CustomerAlain from Lutherville MD
1- remove the ice make assembly to check out the ice maker: remove 3 screws with a nut driver, and aplug the electrical connector2- checked that the ice maker assembly was not fixable (visual inspection)3- Ordered an ice maker for PartSelect,4- got it 2 days later, reconnected the electrical connector and put the 3 screws back
Customerthomas from galena IL
I ordered a new ice maker and replaced it. It hung on two screws in the side of freezer and connected to the electric in back by a plug in unit. Within 20 minutes we were making ice again. Awesome!!

I am flying from Australia to South America for a holiday. Because of all this TSA nonsense, I paid extra to fly via Chile rather than USA. This also means I flew using LAN rather than a USA airline (which is money lost for the USA economy).
That's odd. I would think Australia to South America would require WAN, not LAN
I think you are confusing LAN meaning "Local Area Network". WAN means "Wide Area NetworK", but it's not so much wide as it is long. Hence in this context LAN means "Long Area Network"
I'm keen to get a feel for what sort of products are on the market and how well they work. What are your experiences with secure meeting management / document collaboration and distribution systems?
Everybody seems to be confusing the term "customer" with "stakeholder". The fact that a person may not understand what they really need when asking for an info system should be no surprise to anyone in the IT industry by now. It's the whole reason for the existence of business analysts like me. Being a good programmer does not by any means guarantee that you are good at gathering and understanding requirements. Being a good BA certainly doesn't make me any sort of programmer (though I do understand the concepts).
And the customer is not always synonymous with user. The role of the BA is important, but it should be part of facilitating communication between the developer and the user, not a firewall keeping them apart.
That depends on both the developer and the user
I deal with some users that have almost no clue about computers and technology, so they have a tendency to think that IT development can deliver more than it can in a lot less time than it really takes. Even worse, the organisation I work in is strongly hierarchical so my communication with some users is often via several layers of management (each of whom know very little about computers and technology). Suffice to say, it is quite the challenge to manage users' expectations!
I don't understand that argument. If there was an emergency that required evacuation, you would have to be pretty darn absorbed in your game not to notice the bumping and the oxygen masks coming down and the smoke and the people screaming and the loud "assume brace position" warnings. The time it takes to put your Game Boy down is probably significantly less than the time it would take to undo your seatbelt, stand up and get into the aisle of a plane full of other people all trying to get off as quickly as they can.
Also - copyright terminates when the author(s) die. None of this life-plus-eleventy-thousand-years crap. When you kick, your works revert into the public domain
Except the author when something horrible happens to him/her because they are in possession of a multi-million dollar copyrighted work that others would like to exploit...
The business representative should be handed a business requirements document, written by a decent business analyst, that clearly explains to them in words they understand exactly what the system will do.
It's wrong to expect someone to sign off on a document they don't understand, and whilst it may achieve the goal of deflecting accountability, it won't result in a good product.
Life would be so much easier if we could just look at the source code. -- Dave Olson

As of this afternoon, General Motors has filed an initial public stock offering with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Potentially perplexing legal jargon aside, this is what investors, journalists (and, potentially, Chinese auto industry insiders) have been waiting for.
Likely to be the largest IPO filed in U.S. history, GM has yet to release exact figures for the number of shares it will offer and the price they will be set at. It's rumored that the U.S. government will become a minority shareholder, as opposed to a majority shareholder, and the U.S. Treasury's holding should drop to under 50 percent from its current 61-percent stake. The IPO could reportedly raise as much as $16 billion for GM.
The news follows several days of almost-filings, but GM has at last submitted the paperwork for an IPO. The S-1 form is an incredibly detailed document, meant to provide a company record for potential investors. Particularly good sales figures and revenue in the last quarter may help allay investors' fears, and offset the news of the upcoming departure of CEO Ed Whitacre.

On Thursday night, Green Day made their long-awaited official return to the road at the Allstate Arena in suburban Chicago. I was there both as a professional (you can read my full critical take on the show in next week's issue of EW), and as a longtime admirer of the group whose fandom has waxed and waned over the course of their career. Below is a series of musings about the scene that was.
1. Green Day performed a handful of club dates leading up to their South By Southwest showcase, but this was the first show of the proper arena tour (dubbed the 99 Revolutions Tour, after the track on ¡Tre!) the band was supposed to start a few months ago. Though frontman Billie Joe Armstrong has been in rehab for the last few months, there were no references made by the band that they had ever been away. It was business as usual, without any nods to the news.
2. Just because the band ignored it didn't mean the crowd did as well. There were a handful of signs held up by fans on the GA floor expressing their support of Armstrong through his recovery. One read: "You are always here for us, now we're here for you." There was also a guy who brought a cardboard cutout of Justin Bieber, a reference to Armstrong's infamous on-stage rant in Las Vegas last fall—the incident that led directly to his rehab stint. (Too soon, dude!)
3. Even if the show wasn't strictly sold out, the band will most certainly make up the difference in merch: The lines for T-shirts (and hoodies and hats and copies of Kerplunk on vinyl) were huge, which meant that the bulk of the crowd missed opening act Best Coast in favor of snagging gear.

Last week a number of my hotkeys (it seems like only the ones I actually use), have come undone. I re-assign them, and then they go away. Its is happening across the modeling, sketching, and drawing environments. I have all of the service packs installed. I am now un-installing inventor and re-installing it in hopes that it will work. But perhaps someone can tell me why it is failing.
Can't tell you why it's happening, but it is happening to some Inventor users. In my case, in both 2012 & 2013. Not frequent, but every once in a while about half of my keyboard shortcuts disappear, both default and custom ones. I have not yet discovered any cause or correlation. Don't know if it's related to similar things happening with my Application Options.

Same here for 2013. I began learning the existing shortcts in 2012 by hovering over Extrude and taking note of the "E" etc. But when I hover in 2013 I get the balloon, but no sign of the letter.
I used to have the same problem. I used to have hot keys that were existing keys, but re-assigned to the commands that I wanted. For example, I didn't like reaching across the keyboard to hit 'M' for the measure command, so I reassigned it to be 'Z'. But 'Z' was already used by the zoom window command, so I had to remove the key assignment from that command.
I noticed that the only keyboard shortcuts that I would lose were these ones that were by default used by another command. So, I tried just setting them all to use 'Alt' + the key I wanted (for example, 'Alt+Z' for the measure command. With the exception of 'Alt+F8' and 'Alt+F11', no other commands use 'Alt', so I can pretty much use any one I want. It took some getting used to, but now I don't lose them as often as I used to.
The only problem I have now is what sbixler mentioned--losing my application options. Sometimes when that happens, I also lose all my UI customization, including keyboard shortcuts, so I learned to export them as a backup. I believe the loss of application options has to do with our licenses or license server having issues, but I can't substantiate this.
Edit: I'm using 2012, by the way.
