Laudani: Cautious Optimism on First Solar

I don't attend many analysts meetings. Usually they are a big waste of time for a busy guy. But that doesn't mean I don't try to game the meeting ahead of time. First Solar (FSLR - Get Report) holds its annual analyst meeting on Wednesday March 19 and I am cautiously optimistic. If the company can halt its margin decline, investors will see the light.
Just three weeks ago, First Solar reported a lousy fiscal 2013 fourth quarter and guided down the first quarter. For the quarter, revenue fell 28.6% to $768 million vs. a Street estimate of $976 million. (Total stinker!) Management blamed the miss on confusing revenue recognition policies. (Whatever)
But what really burned investors was the lowered first quarter guidance. I don't think anyone expected the company to forecast revenue between $800 million and $900 million. Investors were expecting revenue north of $905 million. The stock dropped 13% on the news.
Normally, after that kind of earnings report, I'd skip the analyst meeting. After all, who wants to sit through a bunch of depressing slides while management tries to explain away the last two quarters? And for all that listening and note taking, you only get is a chicken sandwich and a cookie. For the stock to head significantly higher, the company has to get a handle on its gross margin. Gross margin has totally collapsed. In the last five years, gross margin is down 48%. In fiscal 2009, the company sported a 50.56% gross margin. FSLR ended 2013, with a disastrous 26.07% margin. That's a big problem. Right now, the consensus estimate for 2014 is 21.57%. That's down again. And for 2015, analysts think margins will just flatten out. Not good. In 2013, First Solar was able to lower the manufacturing cost per watt the most since 2010. That eventually has to flow though the gross margin line. And that's why I'm cautiously optimistic. At the end of February, First Solar announced it set a world record for solar cell efficiency. The company said its cadmium-telluride (CdTE) photovoltaic (PV) solar cell "conversion efficiency" reached 20.4% vs. 19.6% last year. As the company commercializes this technology, it can only mean lower costs and better sales growth. Because of its strong research and development efforts, First Solar was able to boost its average production solar module efficiency to 13.4% in the fourth quarter, up 0.6% from 12.9% in the same period last year. The latest production modules were up to 13.9% efficiency. While that sounds small, the increase in efficiency makes First Solar equipment "best of breed" and highly desirable to buyers. At Wednesday's analyst meeting, I think management will outline a roadmap to higher margins by increasing production of advanced solar modules. With 13% to 15% revenue growth projected over the next two years, any hike in gross margins will drop to the bottom line and drive the stock into the mid $70s. Better margins on top of strong sales growth will help investors to see the light.

Letting Go
By Stacy Barton
looking back the
leaving began at once
the loss of you like summer
grass before the season's end
your tiny form expands me still
a willow of a woman you
catch my breath like a breeze
that flutters the leaves
of your branches
By Stacy Barton
I sit in the light of two fluorescent bulbs –
one flickering above the workbench,
the other swinging over the washer and dryer –
and wonder over my nest, soon bare.
Here in the garage,
with only the leftover laundry to stir my memory,
I find fewer cues to catapult my heart.
boxes sit, ready for college,
with hangers perched atop taped cardboard,
bound in bakers bundles like so many necessary soldiers.
Pillows piled, alongside dish drainers,
and vacuums for second year;
each an undeveloped portrait.
Everywhere I turn, vestiges of yesterday taunt me.
Pictures uncovered in the clean out,
set beside the sofa in a reused box;
third grade recitals rescued alongside
our first television set and an old turn table.
These objects wait hopefully
eager to audition for the leading role
in this latest play.
For now they sit, still and quiet, before the hearth,
in tidy rows, named and claimed,
while temperatures outside soar to summer heights.
I leave
the comfort of what I know, move
away from the collect of this latest change
(in truth it has me swallowing stones)
and find solace on the dusty concrete of the garage.
I sit,
sweat threatening my spine,
in an old blue game chair,
rocking too and fro,
while their father collects cords
and ropes,
coiling them, hanging them,
tying us, surely, to what was and
what will be.

RACE: GoBowling.com 400 DATE: Sunday, Aug. 3, 2014 TRACK: Pocono Raceway LENGTH: 2.5-mile tri-oval TV: ESPN (Coverage begins at 12 p.m. ET) RADIO: MRN Radio (Coverage begins at 12:30 p.m. ET)
POINTS AFTER INDIANAPOLIS: After recording his 14th top-10 finish of the season at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Dale Earnhardt Jr. retained his second-place ranking in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship standings. He trails teammate Jeff Gordon by 24 points with six races remaining until the 16-car field is set for the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup.
2014 STATISTICS: After 20 races in the 2014 season, the driver of the No. 88 Michael Baker International Chevrolet SS has earned two wins, nine top-five finishes and 14 top-10s. Earnhardt is tied for first in both top-five and top-10 finishes.
AT POCONO: In 29 Sprint Cup starts at Pocono Raceway, Earnhardt has recorded one win, one pole position, eight top-five finishes and 12 top-10s. He has completed 97.2 percent of all the laps he's attempted (5,276 laps of 5,427 total) and has led a total of 164 laps at the 2.5-mile track. Earnhardt, the most recent race winner at Pocono, has had a third-place average finish over the last three races.
POCONO POLE POSITION: Earnhardt earned his Sprint Cup pole position at Pocono in August 2007 and went on to lead eight laps there for a second-place finish.
CHASSIS CHOICE: This weekend, crew chief Steve Letarte and the No. 88 team will unload Hendrick Motorsports Chassis No. 88-810. Earnhardt most recently raced this chassis to a win at Pocono Raceway in June.
PEPSI HEADQUARTERS: PepsiCo's Purchase, New York, headquarters is located 125 miles east of Pocono Raceway. The company, which sponsors Earnhardt's car with its Diet Mountain Dew and AMP Energy brands, has been located in Purchase since 1970.
HENDRICK AT POCONO: Most recently, Earnhardt went to Victory Lane at Pocono Raceway earlier this season. Hendrick Motorsports has had a winner in at least one race at Pocono in each of the past four years, including a season sweep in 2013 thanks to Jimmie Johnson and Kasey Kahne. In total, Hendrick Motorsports has 16 wins, 61 top-five finishes and 106 top-10s in 201 starts at the 2.5-mile triangle.
30TH ANNIVERSARY: In 2014, Hendrick Motorsports is celebrating its 30th anniversary in NASCAR. The organization began in 1984 with five employees and 5,000 square feet of work space. It has grown to more than 500 employees with a 430,000-square-foot facility that sits on 140 acres. Driver Geoff Bodine won the Martinsville Speedway spring race on April 29, 1984, marking Hendrick Motorsports' first victory in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.
DALE EARNHARDT JR.: "It seems like guys that run well there can sort of sustain it. I've seen guys sweep there, or at least have opportunities to sweep and come close. I like the track. We have run well there since the repave, and I anticipate us being competitive again."

The BBC has reached a settlement with the Conservative politician wrongly implicated in a child sex abuse scandal.
The BBC has already apologised for linking 70-year-old Alistair McAlpine, a member of the House of Lords, to child sex abuse that happened decades ago in Wales. The mistaken report, broadcast nearly two weeks ago, has caused turmoil within BBC management ranks and led to the resignation of its chief.
The British broadcaster said late on Thursday (local time) it had resolved McAlpine's libel claim, calling it a "comprehensive" settlement that "reflects the gravity of the allegations that were wrongly made".
The politician will receive 185,000 pounds (NZ$362,600) in damages and the terms of the agreement will be announced in court in a few days, his lawyers told Britain's Press Association.
McAlpine said in a statement he was delighted to have reached a "quick and early" settlement and now will seek settlements from people who had named him on Twitter.
Earlier, he told BBC radio he had been shocked by the report, which did not directly name him but led to internet chatter about his purported role. He said the BBC had not contacted him to try to verify the report before it was televised on its Newsnight programme.
"They should have called me and I would have told them exactly what they learned later on - that it was complete rubbish," he said.
He expressed sympathy for the sex abuse victim who had mistakenly told BBC that McAlpine was the culprit, pointing out that the victim had suffered greatly because of the abuse.
The lawmaker seemed shaken by the accusations against him: "To find yourself a figure of public hatred, unjustifiably, is terrifying."
The BBC's crisis involving coverage of child sex abuse started last month when it was heavily criticised for deciding not to report allegations of shocking abuses committed by one of its top hosts, the late Jimmy Savile, who died last year at age 84.
New questions have been raised about the possible role in the Savile scandal of Mark Thompson, who was BBC director-general until September 16 and this week became chief executive officer of the New York Times Co.
Thompson has said he did not know about the allegations against Savile and was not involved in the decision to shelve a BBC documentary about the TV star's alleged abuses. Critics, however, say this claim is undermined by a legal letter written on Thompson's behalf in early September that advised the Sunday Times of London not to publish a story about the Savile allegations.
A lawyer who saw the letter and spoke on condition of anonymity because of confidentiality issues confirmed its contents.
Ed Williams, a spokesman for Thompson in London, said Thompson would not comment directly about the letter. Williams referred instead to comments that he himself had made to Stewart Purvis, a blogger and journalism professor with extensive experience in television news.
In an email to Purvis that was posted on the blog, Williams said it was a "common occurrence" for legal letters to be written at the BBC and reiterated that Thompson had not been aware of the allegation against Savile.
"He verbally agreed to the tactic of sending a legal letter to the paper, but was not involved in its drafting," Williams told Purvis.
Critics of Thompson's role in the Savile scandal found this unconvincing.
Rob Wilson, a Conservative Party lawmaker who has challenged Thompson's explanation, said the former BBC chief had not yet given a "definitive" account of his knowledge about the Savile allegations.
"Now it appears legal threats were issued using his name against a newspaper over claims that he hadn't bothered to read, let alone investigate, but which turned out to be true," Wilson said.
The Metropolitan Police, meanwhile, arrested a man in his 60s on Thursday in connection with the wide-ranging Savile investigation. A police statement said some 450 alleged victims have now come forward.

Boys Volleyball: Lincoln-Way East has strength in returning numbers
By Logan Malloy For Sun-Times Media March 21, 2014 8:04PM
Lincoln-Way East's Austin Royer | File photo
Boys Volleyball 2014
1. Lincoln-Way East: All the weapons are back for stellar setter Austin Royer, including All-Area outside hitters Nate Van Dellan and Ryan Vorderer.
2. Lincoln-Way North: Brad McFarland and Jake Walenga, the latter the 2013 SouthtownStar Player of the Year, form a lethal combination on the outside for the returning state runner-up.
3. Brother Rice: Four-year starter Mitch Weiler and Kevin Myren will look to send longtime coach Paul Ickes out in style.
4. Sandburg: When outside hitter Paul Chmura is hot, look out. The All-Area player carried the attack in a few big wins last season.
5. Lincoln-Way West: Junior setter Michael Wexter is helping turn the Warriors into a force.
6. Andrew: Sanil Thomas is a slick distributor and should feed 6-foot-9 Lewis recruit Nick VanderZanden.
7. Marist: Matt Munro, a 6-foot-9 middle hitter, is one of eight seniors on the RedHawks roster.
8. Joliet Catholic: Libero Tony Allen and four other starters from a season ago return for a team that took powerhouse Minooka to three sets in the playoffs.
9. Richards: The reigning South Suburban champ brings back four starters, including All-Area hitter Ed Karalius and twins Danny and Eric Krasich.
10. Oak Forest: Outside hitter Jeff Sprayberry and four other starters return for the Bengals, making a run at the South Suburban crown within reach.
TOP PLAYERS (in alphabetical order)
Tony Allen (L, Jr., Joliet Catholic); Paul Chmura (Jr., OH, Sandburg); Ed Karalius (Sr., OH, Richards); Brad McFarland (Sr., OH; Lincoln-Way North); Matt Munro (MH, Sr., Marist); Kevin Myren (Sr., OH, Brother Rice); Josh Phalen (L, Sr., Lincoln-Way East); Austin Royer (Sr., S, Lincoln-Way East); Sean Runyon (L, Sr., Stagg); Adam Sargis (Sr., OH, Lincoln-Way Central); Jeff Sprayberry (Sr., OH, Oak Forest); Sanil Thomas (Jr., S, Andrew); Nate Van Dellan (Sr., OH, Lincoln-Way East); Nick VanderZanden (Sr., MH, Andrew); Ryan Vorderer (Sr., OH, Lincoln-Way East); Jake Walenga (Sr., OH, Lincoln-Way North); Matt Walsh (Sr., MH, Mount Carmel); Mitch Weiler (Sr., OH, Brother Rice); Michael Wexter (Jr. S, Lincoln-Way West); Ian Zalewski (S, Sr., Sandburg).
Updated: April 24, 2014 9:57AM
The stars are aligning for Lincoln-Way East — and one doesn't need a telescope to see them.
All-American setter Austin Royer bands together a roster chock full of talent, as the Griffins return every starter and key attacker from a team that finished 35-4 a season ago.
"It's the second year with the same team," Royer said. "We have a different mind-set but the same goal: to get to state."
It's easy for Royer to set lofty goals with All-Area performers Nate Van Dellen and Ryan Vorderer shepherding the rotation as versatile outside hitters. Vorderer had 337 kills a season ago in setting the school record last season while Van Dellen led East with MVP honors at the 20-team Brother Rice Smack Attack.
"We definitely have all the tools to win," Van Dellen. "I don't think there's any reason why we shouldn't."
The Griffins were close to making state last season, falling to eventual state runner-up Lincoln-Way North (37-4) in the sectional final after beating North twice during the regular season.
While North returns its dynamic duo of Brad McFarland and Jake Walenga, the latter the SouthtownStar 2013 Player of the Year, the Griffins open the season as the SouthtownStar's
No. 1 team because of their overall depth — and Royer.
"The way (Royer) fools the block and reads hitters, he just does stuff on the court that still amazes me," Vorderer said.
Royer, a senior, is climbing Illinois' all-time assist list. He's slated to join his brother, Nathan, at St. Ambrose in the fall.
"It's exciting to beat some records," said Austin Royer, who already owns the school's career assist mark, "but a team goal is way more important to me than a personal goal."
East also will welcome back libero Josh Phalen, whom coach Kris Fiore considers one of the best defensive players in the state. Phalen fueled East to a 25-1 record before breaking his hand in practice and missing the rest of the 2013 season.
Phalen's return immediately bolsters East's passing, which should help explosive hitters Aaron Redweik and Carson Slager.
"We really have to work on defense," Vorderer said. "I think that's a big key to the year. If we can improve every day, we'll be a team to be reckoned with by the end of the year."
Vorderer is being modest. East is a team to be reckoned with from Day 1.

Our little family really strives to make the most of our time together. July & August have been our busiest months of business ever which is a great thing! But when we had 3 days in a row without bookings we decided to pack up the car and adventure to the east side of Maui for a camping trip in Hana. We turned off our phones, hiked to the bamboo forest, jumped into the 7 pools, swam, stargazed and explored. If you're planning a visit to Maui, the Road to Hana is a must. If you live in Maui, take a couple days to go camping! There is something so special about that part of the island.
We had a blast filming Anand & Antoinette's wedding weekend extravaganza! They wanted to show their wedding guests their film at the reception so our team did a same-day edit on this one. This close-knit family knows how to have a good time. We loved capturing the excitement in all the wedding festivities and beautiful detailed traditions.

Since we've had several discussions about what color exactly is Munstead Woods, I decided to keep a "record" here for future reference. I planted mine last year and it bloomed during the summer--a wonderful purple/magenta--as you can see in the pic below taken June 2013 (which I've shown before). However, some other gardeners reported that their MW was much more pinkish-reddish--more of a dark hot pink, in fact. So what color is MW? My MW just opened today for the first time this season--and it is definitely more of a dark hot pink than the magenta/purple of my pic above. So that agrees with the other gardeners. It will be interesting to see if it regains its purple/magenta shades as the season progresses. I will be sure to take pics in June so that we can compare them with the pic from last June (6-6-13). Sorry I'm too busy right now to take pics and post them. Have a garden tour coming up in about a week, and I still don't have all the leaves out of my beds yet. If anyone gets really dark colors this early from MW, please let us know--and see it. : ) Thanks. Kate |
Follow-Up Postings:
Is it just me, or does 'Munstead Wood' resemble a larger version of the rose grown as 'Eugene de Beauharnais' in flower color and form? Interestingly, I've noticed that my EdB is more purplish when it's cool, turning dark hot pink in the peak of Summer. :-) ~Christopher |
Here is a link that might be useful: 'Eugene de Beauharnais' at HelpMeFind
It's been overcast and rainy here today--and already my Munstead Woods is taking on those darker tones. It was more hot pink/reddish when it first opened, but seems to have rather quickly taken on the darker purplish-magenta shades. Either way, the blooms are lovely, but I must admit, I like the darker and more purplish shades the best. Kate |

I have two new MW bushes I ordered as bareroot this year. They are both starting to open now and both are hot, neon pink at the moment. Hoping they will darken up some, but either way, I'm very impressed the number of flowers for first year bareroots...they are loaded with buds/blooms. Thanks Kate for tempting me into trying this one :) |
Glad you are enjoying it, Pat. I think MW is one of the best introductions in the past few years. I adore mine! Kate |

Kate, My Munstead Wood bushes are no longer neon pink :) Both are still blooming their heads off. One is in full sun and one in dappled sun. The one in full sun isn't as deeply colored as the one in partial shade, but neither are pink anymore and both are a mix of beautiful tones. I'm really loving these so far. Thanks again for your recommendation! Picture is of the one in partial shade and iphone camera doesn't really capture the depth...the color in the picture is closer to the actual color of the one in full sun. |
If cut in tight bud, it will open dark smoky purple in the house. I have one of those in the kitchen right now. Sunlight, and maybe heat, will lighten the color of most crimson roses. 'Tess', for example, is dark true crimson without sun, but bright cerise medium red with plenty of sun. 'Munstead Wood' is a really good rose. |
Beautiful roses, Kate! Thanks for posting and describing the variations. It's a tricky thing, pinning down the colors of some of these roses, so this kind of documentation is really helpful. jannike |

How are the thorns on yours? I seem to have some canes I need tongs to grasp and others I can just grab and cut |
Yes, Kippy, I have both kinds of canes--thorny and not very--on my MW. Haven't had it long enough to see if there is a pattern yet. We'll have to keep an eye on our Munstead Woods and report on that also at a later date. Kate |
I also have noted the distinct variability of thorniness on this rose. Folly |

I planted 3 MWs this spring and they are blooming beautifully already in the deep magenta crimson tones, and they look like velvet. Just beautiful. The canes so far strike me a little Harlow Carr-esque in terms of thorns, meaning very thorny. I am hoping that changes, but I am so smitten, I really don't They are also very healthy so far. Being in Georgia, I was already seeing black spot on several HTs, Austins and a bourbon or 2 by April. Nothiing on MW. Adrianne |

I have not noticed any light coloured blooms on my 2 Munstead Woods in any season in my med climate. The best dark red flower, and exceptionally fragrant to boot, I've seen on an Austin has been on The Prince. Too bad they readily fry in the hot sun and the plant itself is worthless anyway. |

'Munstead Wood' is an excellent cut rose. I have one currently that has lasted 6-1/2 days so far in plain water with no special treatment. It may shatter tonight. It has been dark, smoky purple the whole time. Cut it in tight bud after the sepals drop, as I recommend in a thread farther down. |
I had a 'The Prince' in CA, central valley, hot and dry, which performed very well. It did get afternoon shade. I also did not think the bush worthless. I had it growing in a group with 'Falstaff' and 'Othello". Now, I like 'Othello's thorny orneriness, just what I would expect from a successful fighting admiral, but of the three, 'The Prince' had the best repeat and the most foliage and a low growing habit. A complaint I have about many of the Austin introductions is that there is not enough foliage to feed and support the lavish blooms. I did mean to ask on this thread if anyone thinks Munstead Wood is an improvement over 'The Prince' or over 'Wise Portia'. |

Mangatainoka Things to Do
On State Highway 2 between Pahiatua and Woodville is Mangatainoka, the home of Tui Brewery. The brewery was founded in 1889, and has gone through a few ownership changes over the years, but is now owned by Dominion Breweries.
The tour is not much different from many other brewery tours, but I did enjoy a pint of Tui, Mangatainoka Dark and Wagstaff's ale.
$10 per person for the tour, which goes through the small Tui museum, through the factory, and then allows you some taste-testing at the end.Related to:- Beer Tasting

24 Hours & The Gift Of A Second Chance
9:00 am My boss opened my door with his critical voice…I said, "I appreciate your feedback but I don't like how you project your anger."
For the first time, I felt my boss respected me…we had a productive meeting. I took responsibility for important points I had missed and he showed me the strong parts of the presentation that he thought was very powerful. I know now that he can be a great mentor for me. Our communication together was clear and honoring.
9:30 am– 12:30 pm I could see that he was under pressure, I had compassion. I told him that I would re-vamp the project within the week. We were open to each other's ideas. It felt good!
12:30 pm I invited my assistant to join me for lunch, we discussed the new deadline. I wanted her to know how much I appreciated her. We make a great team.
1:30 pm I felt so connected and my afternoon flowed…accomplishing so much, I didn't have to bring work home and compromise family time.
5:30 pm I had time to go to the gym and pick up healthy groceries for dinner. While I was driving home my husband called and said he would pick up the kids.
6:00 pm When I arrived home I could feel my joy and the kids ran up to greet me.
6:30 pm Mike and I made dinner together, we enjoyed family time. Neil talked about a conflict at school…I asked him how he felt. He felt angry and his dad shared with him an experience just like his, involving a bully. I shared how I don't see my boss that way any longer…I stood up for myself today, feeling respected.
9:00 pm Mike and I tucked the kids into bed together telling them how proud we were of both of them. We prayed together and each one of us shared our blessings of the day.
9:30pm While in the bath I took time to feel any anxieties of the day…I put my hand on my heart and felt the gift…
10:00pm I lit some candles in our room and Mike and I opened our hearts, intimately talking about struggles and successes of our day. Our relationship deepened as we held each other in our arms, feeling gratitude.

I hit upon Alex K. Chen's answer on What learning strategies do people who are "quick learners" follow? which links to this New York Times article To Really Learn, Quit Studying and Take a Test .
How can students implement this article's findings to improve studying all through the year? Some math students are examined only once, at the end of the school year, therefore how can they benefit fom this? To address Fantini's comment underneath, I too am against focusing on tests.
Furthermore, are there other more efficient methods than the four in this table from the article?
My first thought was to self-serve past papers as tests. However, past papers might not be useful as the same questions probably will not be repeated? To get back to Tobias Kildetoft:
Concept mapping: Students "arranged information from the passage into a kind of diagram, writing details and ideas in hand-drawn bubbles and linking the bubbles in an organized way." "Having students draw detailed diagrams documenting what they are learning — is prized by many teachers because it forces students to make connections among facts. "
Retrieval practice: "students who read a passage, then took a test asking them to recall what they had read"

New York state wage board recommends $7.50 hourly wage for servers, other tipped workers
4 hours ago
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Restaurant servers and other tipped workers in New York state would make $7.50 an hour before tips under a proposal recommended by a state wage board Friday The proposal from the state Wage Board, which now goes to the state labor commissioner, would go into effect Dec. 31. State law allows restaurants, hotels and other hospitality businesses to pay tipped workers less than the minimum wage as long as gratuities make up the difference. Servers are now paid an hourly wage of $5.
NY wage board recommends $7.50 hourly wage for servers, other tipped workers

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — A state board in New York has recommended an increase in the hourly wage paid to restaurant servers and other tipped workers. The law allows employers to pay tipped workers less than the minimum wage if gratuities make up the difference. Labor groups wanted the tipped wage eliminated altogether so servers would make the standard minimum wage before tips. But restaurant owners said higher labor costs would be a burden.

Beautiful!!! Punk Immediatly the candle holders jumped out at me, love them, and the glassware ties back to the table cloth so nicely. Your plates are perfectly color balanced and I really like the leaf ones on top (gonna put those on my wishin list). I see the little round mirrors as well, one of my favorite tricks for accenting. :) Happy Fall! |

Punk...1st off, your linens...the t'cloth & napkins are so beautiful for this Fall table! & the multi-colored glassware! Wow! Love the colors...those leaf salad plates! Plus the candlesticks! That combination of color is so rich! Great candyshot! I always enjoy the CUTEness you add to your decor! The ceramic scarecrow (where you share your DM) & the scrawcrow painted plate. You found some really cute assessories with the corn candles & napkin rings...& your centerpc spray looks great! (I am not good w/arranging flowers...so I am impressed seeing others' skills). Now TJ...she is just as cute as ever! Are you looking into a new wardrobe for her yet! tee-hee! LOL! Love the pumpkin bowl & her stemware...yes, the tealight is a good thing! ;-) Have I seen the teacart before? (I forget)...it looks gorgeous! What fun decorating your buffet & teacart! TFS, punk! Have a good day (working). Jeanne S. |
This is a perfect fall table. The leaf plates are wonderful. I Loove the Indian corn candles! The buffet and serving cart look wonderful too. As usual TJ looks happy to be part of the festivities. I really love the way this table looks in the soft glow of lamp light. Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful table, Punk. Nana |

Really love that last picture, everything looks so coordinated and warm and homey. Love the leaf plates, corn candles, and well just all of it. You did a really nice job on this one, Punk. Love it! Kay |
Punk you did such a lovely job on this table! It speaks 'FALL' ! Great color scheme with your linens, layered plates (love the leaf plates), glassware AND those fabulous Corn candles! The little scarecrow basket from DM is darling. You're so lucky to have so many wonderful things of hers to decorate with. Little TJ fits right in with her little pumpkin bowl and her 'safety candle' ....lol By the way, what does your DGD think of her? I agree with Luvs, your last picture looks so warm and homey. Sure makes me feel that I'd be sitting there waiting for a special home cooked meal! You really collected many different dishes and accessories since you first started and each table is exciting to see. jane |

Another super pretty table, Punk! So much to see, I've scrolled back up several times and probably still won't get it all commented on. Gosh how I love Fall decorating! The indian corn candles are really unique, and so perfect for this table. The brown candleholders and your goblets are striking together. The buffet is delightful, but I can't wait to see a close-up of the serving cart!! TJ looks like she's holding her hand out to the candle and saying "See,this one is safe." LOL. I guess you and I both got bit by the Fall bug, yesterday afternoon I finally started decorating. Spent several hours doing it. Then around midnight, I was wide awake and looking at my efforts...and didn't like a darn thing. LOL. hugs, Karen |
- Posted by marlene_2008 (My Page) on Thu, Sep 29, 11 at 20:43
Don't blame you at all for starting your fall decorating a bit early...if you're like me, you've just had enough of this never ending summer. Love your tablescape. Really like the Indian corn candles...never seen those before. All of your decorations are great...thanks for the inspiration! |

Well, I love it all; the table, the tea cart, the side table, TJ, the colors...all of it. The top of your corner cabinet is fab! I really like the wide shot, it gives a super view of the room. Ditto to what everybody else said. TFS, |
Wow Everyone, you sure know how to make a girl feel Super! You are all the sweetest. Our DR no longer looks like this. We finished the DR furniture we had purchased to help abused children and moved it in today. I will be sharing pictures as I need some help from all of you. I also need to buy something to go above the buffet if I keep it there. I worked 6 long days this week and Sat. was crazy. I brought in some of my decorations and pretty much threw them out and about. Sorry I didn't get back here to thank all of you before now. Punk |

your pictures are so inviting and soothing - everything is so co-ordinated and .... well... so fallish. Looking forward to see what you are doing next. After the extreme heat of the summer I am so enjoying all the fall decorations. I have always liked fall but never looked forward to it as much as I have this year. The nip in the air is such a welcomed relief - I think we all are experiencing just a little more energy now. TFS your pictures ..... Lynne |

Comet ISON could be spectacle . . . or celestial dud
By Richard Monda
Star Talk
A potentially bright comet is about to arrive in the innermost regions of the solar system. Astronomers found the comet more than a year ago while using a telescope operated by the International Scientific Optical Network, hence the comet has been named ISON....

I think the effort was worth it. That's a SUPER cute plant, Denise. I hope you keep posting pictures of your Dischidia collection, because I really enjoy them. |
I agree with GG. Funny thing, Denise, it even looks the shape of a carnosa flower! Love the pale pink color too! Is this one hard to grow? Brad AKA Moonwolf |
Nice Dischidia Denise, the leaves look quite succulent. Is this a smaller grower? Mike |
Denise nice photo taking it must of been hard to get a clear picture of the small flower. I have started to like these plants and was lucky to be gifted a small cutting of hirsuta.I hope I can root it.I love fuzzy leaves. |
Brad, easy to root, easy to grow. I find many Dischidias hard to root and a little tempermental to grow, but this one is a breeze... Mike, yes the leaves are very succulent and smallish. It grows in a hanging pot and grows as long as I let it. I try to take cuttings when it gets to about 3' in length... Cpawl, hirsuta is one I'm hoping to collect in the future. Looks like a real pretty one!! Denise in Omaha |

While there are few solid details out there about one of Tiger Woods' alleged mistresses, porn actress Holly Sampson, there is this video from May where she brags about supposedly sleeping with the golfer.
The porn star hosted a live chat on Naughty America's Live With Laura on May 29, where she claims that she "f--ked Tiger Woods."
That's quite a change from the "no comment" she gave when recently asked.
So how did this supposedly go down? Holly articulately explains:
"Well, a friend of mine, Brent Bolthouse, he used to be a friend of mine, and he was good friends with one of Tiger Woods' assistants. So me and my girlfriends were at a bachelor party for Tiger, and it was amazing. And then he picked me to go in the room...I have to say, he was really good."
Sampson says she had oral sex with Woods and that "he'd probably die to know that I was telling this on the Internet."
Good thing she decided to share it with the whole world seven months ago, then. What is it with these fame whores?
But unlike Tiger's other reported mistress Jamie Grubbs, she says he used condoms "like a good boy."
"His teeth are perfect, and he's, like, the perfect gentleman."
It's amazing how nonchalant this blonde is. She even started laughing about Woods' Swedish wife in the clip. What do you guys think, is Holly classy or what?
Jeez, looks like Tigergate is here to stay for a while.
Keeping track? Here's help, our gallery of Tiger's Alleged Other Women.

You're referring to "Slowpoke Rodriguez." He's kind of built up a pretty horrible reputation over the years, as the character was built on the old "lazy and drunk Mexican" stereotypes. He's actually one of the main reasons Speedy Gonzales isn't shown much nowadays. Given Woot's cultural sensitivity, I think the artist's approach was best.

I completely agree. This shirt is a good design and beautifully rendered. I especially love the sketchy woodblock styling it has. Good work, Ramy. I would love to see more art like this in your future subs.
Re: Mexican Eagle Co.
I just want to comment that I like this design, of Mexico's heritage; my parents were born in Mexico and they would be proud to see this entry done by a special artist who is very talented, congratulations and never give up.

The sketch style and the coloring... perfection.
Re: [url=http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=54147]Frida was never really
I have to point out that whether you were aware of Hirsute History or not, you're doing something so close to his schtick that it might be infringement. http://hirsutehistory.com/design/frida_kahlo/ Also I like the way you've done the jewelry, but the upper lip is reading more "pencil thin mustache" on this one. Nice clean lines, and if you generated the hair-only idea independently, I congratulate you!
Re: Goat Sucker
Am I missing something? What's offensive about a Chupacabra visual pun?
shikausstan wrote:It is only offensive if you choose to be offended. And the entire population does not drink the water. In some locations it really isn't safe so even locals don't drink it without sterilizing first.
I'm calling offensive here as well. "Don't drink the water" is not actually said as advice at this point, but as a cliche joke implying "It's uncivilized down there."
blinddog3d wrote:Yeah! Deeper colors make it more appealing!
Yeah! This is what I was talking about! Nice resub!
Re: Frida Retrospective
This is by far the most solid Frida of the derby. Nice one!
gement wrote:Also I like the way you've done the jewelry, but the upper lip is reading more "pencil thin mustache" on this one.
I think it is a mustache. Frida had some lip hair going on, just like she had a unibrow, and she was proud of it, and accentuated/exaggerated both in her own art. Which is why I, for one, love her. I hope this design prints. I want one.
Re: Sol y Luna
Hey cool! Glad some of those suggestions worked out! I like how you did the moon side, and the sun's mouth looks much better too!
I love that this one uses the Mayan figures in a modern environment. There's often a sense of mythology from "other" cultures as being stuck in antiquity, and this bucks that nicely.
Re: Dinner and a Show - resub
I love that the nacho is standing on the salsa bowl to be as tall as the others. Very cute design.
Re: [url=http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=53976]They call me

Love the shirt, but I wish it wasn't pink...

Granted, Slowpoke probably wouldn't be the best choice. But this still just looks like a mouse in a hat. Just sayin' - for me, it doesn't stand on its own all that well.
blinddog3d wrote:Thank you, Paige, you are a champ! The "Blind" in BlindDog refers to not being distracted by the obvious, as in a "blind dog sniffing for a bone." I'm also a huge fan of BlindDog Lemon, a famous Blues-man from Memphis. It was taken from a Japanese saying(koan), "Even a blind dog finds a bone, every once in a while."

This is great. It is a real classic. Just thing that if all the varmints were that fast they could all run the same direction and either speed up the rotation of the earth or have it change direction.

I hope you have time to resub - I'd re-vote, honest!
Re: Ay Chihuahua!
Oh, snap! That sucks. I get the reason but, man what a bummer. And something about it strikes me as not very fair.
I've really got to disagree with this rejection. The T-Bell design showed a guy in a sombrero having the runs from eating what was clearly taco bell--an american chain that serves texmex food. Here, we depict a chihuahua (mexican dog) eating tacos and churros (both traditional mexican foods). So having a nondescript soda cup makes this off topic?

Kevin's right. This is 100% on topic. The Chihuahua is the smallest breed of dog and is so named for the state of Chihuahua in Mexico. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chihuahua_(dog) The Chihuahua breed originated in Mexico. This rejection is incorrect and extremely disappointing.
Kevlar is right and i think its a clean on topic entry , Chihuahua or Chihuaheño wich is the right name of the breed is a totally Mexican breed.

Glasgow Warriors became the first Scottish team to win away at Munster in six years as they beat the Heineken Cup semi-finalists 22-5 at Thomond Park.
Gregor Townsend's men made it four RaboDirect PRO12 wins on the spin to boost their play-off push - they are now just three points behind third-placed Munster with a game in hand.
The Warriors scored three tries in an impressive first-half display, with efforts from Jonny Gray, Sean Maitland and Josh Strauss sending them 22-5 clear by half-time.
It was a deserved reward for the Scots' accuracy and aggression, with CJ Stander - Munster's man-of-the-match against Toulouse - posting the hosts' only response.
It was a first home defeat of the season for the Irish province - ending a 13-match streak - and Rob Penney's much-changed side produced few moments of inspiration at their eerily quiet Limerick fortress.
Showing seven changes from their Heineken Cup quarter-final-winning line-up, Munster allowed the Warriors a 10-point head-start as the imposing Strauss set the early standard in terms of physicality.
Young second row Gray followed the flanker's lead by powering through poor attempted tackles from John Ryan and JJ Hanrahan for his first league try. Weir tapped over the simple conversion.
Munster prop Ryan was singled out for a ruck penalty that Weir slotted between the posts in the ninth minute, before the hosts' attacking spark was provided by Simon Zebo and Hanrahan.
Twice the pair combined to unlock the Glasgow defence and on the second occasion only the outstretched boot of Chris Cusiter prevented Stander from touching down.
Just a minute later, Zebo broke through the middle and into the 22, with good hands from centres Keith Earls and James Downey releasing Stander to score to the right of the posts.
10-point buffer
Hanrahan miscued his conversion attempt and came off with a knock shortly afterwards, but Glasgow soon restored that 10-point buffer with Maitland getting the better of his Lions colleague Zebo to dot down out wide on the right.
Scotland international Maitland provided the initial incision as he slipped by Downey and into the hosts' 22. Munster held out until the Warriors moved the ball to the right, where Maitland handed off Zebo to make it 15-5.
Weir was unable to convert and Munster missed a gilt-edged chance to reply as Stander, having intercepted a pass, opted to kick ahead instead of offload the ball with speed merchant Gerhard van den Heever on his shoulder.
The Munster defence was out-muscled again approaching half-time as, having been held up close to the posts, the Scots set up man-of-the-match Strauss to reach over past the covering Earls.
Weir's successful conversion widened the gap to 17 points at the break, and Munster almost fell further behind in the 49th minute as Ryan Wilson was inches away from a bonus point score - Zebo and Downey combined to deny him.
Defences were on top in the third quarter with Munster failing to convert scrum pressure into points, and they continued to play below par, emerging scoreless from a succession of visits to the Glasgow 22.
The province's execution let them down as they failed to shake off their European hangover, allowing Glasgow to celebrate a fourth victory in their last six trips to Ireland.

I've specifically been lusting after thick and chewy chocolate chip cookies. There is a store near our house that makes some pretty tasty cookies but, unfortunately, said store also charges roughly a dollar a cookie! And while that is probably a hell of a lot cheaper than cocaine, it's still a slightly more expensive habit than I'm comfortable with.
So I decided to do the frugal thing and bake a batch of my own cookies while my husband bounced and rocked our (at times, very fussy) little boy.
A quick internet search yielded this recipe for Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies from Cook's Illustrated. According to the crazy over-the-top testers at Cook's Illustrated, the secret to making chewy cookies is brown sugar which apparently contains something called "invert sugar" - a mixture of fructose and glucose - which draws moisture from whatever is around it, (primarily, the air) unlike granulated white sugar.
Though I had never heard of "invert sugar" before, I tend to trust Cook's Illustrated and I can personally attest that these cookies are tasty. I hope you enjoy every chewy, decadent bite! I recommend eating them with a glass of cold milk if you're one of the lucky few who is not lactose intolerant.
Thick & Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
Makes 1 1/2 dozen 3-inch cookies
* 2 1/8 cups flour
* 1/2 tsp salt
* 1/2 tsp baking soda
* 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
* 1 cup brown sugar
* 1/2 cup granulated sugar
* 1 large egg
* 1 egg yolk
* 2 tsps vanilla extract
* 1-2 cups chocolate chips or chunks
* 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Adjust oven racks to upper- and lower-middle positions. Mix flour, salt, and baking soda together in medium bowl; set aside.
2. Either by hand or with electric mixer, cream the butter and sugars until thoroughly blended. Mix in egg, yolk, and vanilla. Add dry ingredients; mix until just combined. Stir in chips (and nuts if you decide to use those.)
3. Using a spoon or icecream scoop, form balls of dough and place them onto a heavy greased cookie sheet (you'll need at least two cookie sheets), roughly nine dough balls per sheet.
4. Bake, reversing cookie sheets' positions halfway through baking, until cookies are light golden brown and outer edges start to harden yet centers are still soft and puffy, 15 to 18 minutes (start checking at 13 minutes). Cool cookies on cookie sheets. Serve or store in airtight container.
