Raiffeisen eyes H2 upturn to ease reliance on Russia
VIENNA (Reuters) – Raiffeisen Bank International (RBIV.VI: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) is counting on a gradual economic upturn in central and eastern Europe to help boost business later this year and reduce its reliance on Russia, where it in effect made all its first-quarter profit.
Emerging Europe's second-biggest lender on Tuesday stuck to its 2013 outlook that net provisions for bad loans and its net interest margin, which edged higher year on year, would roughly match 2012 levels as customer loans rise slightly.
ECB's Nowotny says better to revive bank lending than cut rates
VIENNA (Reuters) – The European Central Bank is looking at ways to boost banks' liquidity rather than cutting interest rates, ECB policymaker Ewald Nowotny said in an interview with Reuters.
Sitting in his wood-panelled office at the Austrian central bank in Vienna, the ECB Governing Council member said he expected the economy to brighten eventually.
Raiffeisen CEO quits over offshore deals
VIENNA, May 24 (Reuters) – Raiffeisen Bank International
Chief Executive Herbert Stepic resigned on Friday in
what he called an effort to spare his bank from negative
publicity over personal property deals that triggered scrutiny
by the lender and regulators.
Stepic, 66, again denied wrongdoing in using front companies
in the Caribbean and Asia to buy flats in Singapore in 2006 and
2008 – deals exposed by the Offshore Leaks investigative
journalism project – but said he decided to quit out of loyalty
to Raiffeisen.
Austrian central bank to check Raiffeisen boss's property deals
VIENNA, May 23 (Reuters) – Austria's central bank is to
investigate personal property deals by Raiffeisen Bank
International's chief executive after media reports he
had made use of front companies.
In a career spanning decades at the group, Herbert Stepic,
66, forged Raiffeisen into central and eastern Europe's
second-biggest lender and he remains a towering figure at the
bank. He has denied any wrongdoing.
Austria says peackeepers may quit Golan if EU arms rebels
VIENNA (Reuters) – Austria may pull its peacekeeping troops from the Golan Heights, evacuating the U.N. buffer zone, its defence minister warned on Tuesday, as Syria and Israel exchanged fire across a long dormant frontline now inflamed by civil war.
Vienna's warning was aimed at Britain and other allies which want to help Syrian rebels by lifting an EU arms embargo – doing so, minister Gerald Klug told Reuters, would rob Austrian troops of their neutrality in a Syrian conflict that has already seen foreign peacekeepers come under fire and some even held hostage.
Austria misses EU deadline to sell Kommunalkredit
VIENNA, May 16 (Reuters) – Austria's Kommunalkredit
could still be sold and does not need to be wound
down, the country's market watchdog said on Thursday after
Vienna missed an EU privatisation deadline for the lender.
The sale of Kommunalkredit, a public-sector finance
specialist nationalised in 2008, was required under the terms of
Austria's bailout. Its failure adds to the country's problems
with the European Commission, which is already questioning state
aid to another Austrian bank.
Austrian rivals baulk at supporting Hypo Alpe Adria "bad bank"
VIENNA, May 15 (Reuters) – Austria's banks are giving a
thumbs down to supporting the creation of a "bad bank" for Hypo
Alpe Adria to relieve pressure on state finances from
the nationalised lender.
Hypo Alpe Adria, rescued from collapse by the state in 2009,
has already swallowed more than 2 billion euros ($2.6 billion)
in government aid.
Austria determined to keep EU's Syria arms embargo
VIENNA (Reuters) – Austria will resist British-led efforts to lift or dilute a European Union arms embargo on Syrian rebels, Chancellor Werner Faymann said on Tuesday, arguing that more weapons would only fan the fighting and may snuff out chances for peace talks.
The EU has to decide this month whether to renew or amend its sanctions on Syria, where more than 70,000 people have died in a two-year uprising against President Bashar al-Assad.
Austria eyes Irish model to handle bank woes-sources
VIENNA, May 8 (Reuters) – Austria may adopt Ireland's "bad
bank" model to help reorganise nationalised lender Hypo Alpe
Adria before an end-May deadline from the European
Commission for a new and more effective revamp plan, sources
close to the matter said.
Brussels and Vienna are at loggerheads over the pace of
overhauling Hypo, with the Commission keen for its operating
assets to be sold by the end of the year but the Austrians
fearful rushed sales could hurt state finances ahead of
elections due by late September.
ECB cuts rates to support flagging euro zone economy
BRATISLAVA (Reuters) – The European Central Bank cut interest rates for the first time in 10 months on Thursday, driven to act by an economy wallowing in recession and freed to do so by sharply falling inflation.
The ECB lowered its main interest rate by a quarter point to a new record low of 0.50 percent in response to a drop in inflation well below its target level, and rising unemployment.

Classicsonline Home » Artists » » Samuel, Harold
Harold Samuel apparently went to Vienna at an early age to study, but a serious illness made him return home. He studied the piano with Mathilde Verne (1865–1936), but did not enter the Royal College of Music until he was seventeen, the year after Eduard Dannreuther (1844–1905) was appointed as Professor of Piano. Apart from giving the British premières of concertos by Tchaikovsky, Liszt and Grieg, Dannreuther lectured on and performed Bach, and Samuel's natural affinity for this composer was brought out in his studies with Dannreuther. At the Royal College of Music Samuel also studied composition with Charles Villiers Stanford and was influenced by Hubert Parry.
For many years Samuel acted as accompanist to numerous instrumentalists and singers, and in these concerts he often had the opportunity to play a piano solo. Encouraged by his success with various works by Bach, Samuel decided to give an all-Bach recital in June 1919 at London's Wigmore Hall. One critic wrote, 'In playing Bach on the piano Mr Samuel never sacrifices either the composer or the instrument in the cause of the other. All the resources of modern piano tone are placed at the service of the music, but it is the music alone which matters.' At the London Bach Festival in 1920 he played Bach's Concerto in C major for three keyboards with great success, being joined by fellow-pianists Herbert Fryer and Myra Hess. However at this point in his career Samuel had a wide performing repertoire and did not play solely Bach. In October 1920 he gave a recital at the Wigmore Hall which included Beethoven's Piano Sonata in A flat Op. 110, Mozart's Rondo in A minor K. 511, three Scarlatti sonatas, Schumann's Fantasie Op. 17 and Ravel's Ondine from Gaspard de la nuit. He also promoted new English music, and the following month played the Piano Sonata by James Friskin and some preludes by his composition teacher Stanford. Also in that programme he played Debussy's Children's Corner Suite and Bach's Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue BWV 903. On 27 April 1925 he gave the first performance of the Piano Concerto by Herbert Howells at a Philharmonic Concert conducted by Malcolm Sargent.
It was Samuel's week of Bach recitals on six consecutive days beginning 31 May 1921 that sealed his reputation as a Bach player. He was already forty-two by this time, but from then on, wherever he played, Bach would be requested. His playing was described as 'so simple and inevitable' that his audiences had 'the easiest time imaginable'. It should be noted that the recitals were not long and would generally contain a suite, a partita and a toccata, or a suite, a partita and a group of preludes and fugues. Occasionally, one of the six concerts would be of the 'Goldberg'Variations BWV 988. The recitals became an annual event in London, sometimes given twice a year, and although Samuel often would vary the works, by 1928 he had honed the six programmes to Partita No. 3 in A minor BWV 827, French Suite No. 6 in E major BWV 817; Partita No. 1 in B flat BWV 825, Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue BWV 903; Toccata in C minor BWV 911, English Suite No. 3 in G minor BWV 808; short preludes etc, Italian Concerto BWV 971; Toccata in G minor BWV 915, Partita No. 2 in C minor BWV 826; and English Suite No. 2 in A minor BWV 807, French Suite No. 5 in G major BWV 816. Samuel also gave two-piano recitals with Myra Hess, sometimes of works by Bach and Mozart, other times by Rachmaninov, Schubert and Brahms, with Bach arranged by Harold Bauer and Samuel himself for two pianos or piano duet.
In 1933, for the celebrations of Brahms's centenary, the Isolde Menges String Quartet with various friends of Menges performed the complete chamber music in eight concerts at the Wigmore Hall with Samuel as pianist. By 1935 he was giving his last London series of six Bach recitals. He played one of the six partitas at each concert, but there was an audience 'not nearly sufficient to fill the Wigmore Hall'. At the end of 1936 Samuel was taken ill on board ship whilst returning to England from a tour of South Africa and died two months later in January 1937 at the age of fifty-seven.
Samuel taught regularly at the Royal College of Music and his pupils included Benjamin Britten, Howard Ferguson and Angus Morrison. Samuel composed a few works, including music for Shakespeare's As You Like It for performances at His Majesty's Theatre in 1907 and a comic opera The Hon'ble Phil.
Samuel's keyboard style was one that served the music he was playing: always structured and rhythmic, delicate and chaste at times; yet some of his Bach performances could be quite ardent in their romanticism, prompting one reviewer to write of his playing of some preludes and fugues that one was '…surprised afresh (however well one knows them) by the way in which the preludes forestall the romanticism which historians say began to come into music about a hundred years after the first book of the "48" was published'.
Samuel recorded for HMV and Columbia, often making the first recordings of the works in question. From 1923 comes Bach's Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue BWV 903 which Samuel plays in the edition by Hans von Bülow, and the Fantasia in C minor BWV 906. Although his discography is small, fortunately Samuel recorded complete major works by Bach. In 1926 he recorded the Partita No. 1 in B flat BWV 825, and the English Suite No. 2 in A minor BWV 807. Between 1923 and 1927 he recorded three preludes and fugues. In 1931 Samuel recorded the Partita No. 2 in C minor for Columbia and the following year recorded short pieces by Clementi, C.P.E. Bach and J.C. Bach for Columbia's History of Music by Ear and Eye Series. In the centenary year of Schubert's death 1928, Samuel made charming recordings of a few short works for HMV as well as some by Brahms. With violinist Isolde Menges we get a chance to hear Samuel as accompanist and realise just how good he was. They recorded Brahms's Violin Sonatas No. 2 in A Op. 100 and No. 3 in D minor Op. 108 for HMV in 1929 and a year before, Bach's Violin Sonata No. 3 in E major BWV 1016. The opening of the A major Sonata displays Samuel's pellucid tone and understanding of the Romantic spirit. Only one live recording seems to have survived: Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 in D major BWV 1050, from a broadcast of December 1935 in America. Koch Legacy issued most of Samuel's recordings on two compact discs in 1992.

We have a project with creating portal on the WF with data from CMDB.
We create new data class, resource assosiation type and resource type.
And we need to take a resource data to WF by ResourceComponents Generator for NS 7.
And when the CMDB is new - the ResourceComponents Generator is ok.
After the creating new this data in CMDB - ResourceComponents Generator is not see all resources in CMDB.
Can somebody say a rulles for creating new data in CMDB for correcting work ResourceComponents Generator for NS 7 in WF.
See the log in SMP and WF can`t help fix this problem.
Pls help.
Comments 8 Comments • Jump to latest comment
If you add new resource types in the CMDB, you have to "re-generate" your Resource components to pick them up. Just re-run the generator.
Let it connect to the NS and collect all the resources. When the screen with Adjust Definitions/Compile/Compile and Close comes up, select "Adjust Definitions". Then select all the components you'd like to show up, click Next and then click Compile and Close.
Just a quick note, I'm the site admin for Connect (Eric) not the person who gave the presentation during Feb. However, the person has been notified, and a response to your question is forthcoming :)

Get it out! I'm actually starting to get okay on mandolin. We can Google Hangouts jam. :D
:D this is all classical and baroque stuff, but maybe we could find some violin/mandolin duet music to play
Yeah, too bad mandolin can't do any classical.
Seriously, though, that's stuff I need to start working on now. Lots of screwing it right up, but I need to start somewhere and mistakes are the foundations of learning.
Don't you just love how pictures from long-time posters have to get moderated... but there are more spammers on these boards than legitimate users and not a damn thing is being done about that?
Dafuq, MDA?
On the topic of classical music, do you have to pay for most of your sheet music, Saoirse?
baroque mandolin is awesome. hmmm...sheet music? lots of classical sheet music is free online if you search hard enough, but once in a while there's a specific arrangement that i want and can only find it for sale. Why?
yeah, spam sucks. some days the boards are just ridiculous!
Whoa. I could pole vault after hearing that dude stroke a mandolin.
lol, was that supposed to be lewd? we don't like that kinda' talk 'round here. ;)
Hey, welcome back Saoirse. How long have you been playing the Violin?

If there is one thing that I learned in my high school law class*, it is that there is no statute of limitations on KILLING IT with an awesome classic rock theme song for Event Horizon. That movie (which I watched again as recently as one month ago) is as scary as its CGI is outdated and terrible-looking. Very scary! And this song is equally scary–SCARY GREAT. (Via BuzzFeed.)
*I really did have a law class in high school. It was a requirement. What kind of crazy high school did I go to, doctor?

Serena Williams out of U.S. Open
Serena Williams withdrew from the U.S. Open on Friday, saying she is still recovering from surgery to repair cuts on her right foot.
The top-ranked Williams has won three titles at Flushing Meadows, part of her 13 Grand Slam singles championships, the most among active women.
Last year, she lost in the U.S. Open semifinals after a tirade at a line judge over a foot-fault call, an outburst that drew a record fine.
"It is with much frustration and deep sadness that I am having to pull out of the U.S. Open," Williams said in a statement released by her publicist.
Williams said doctors advised her not to play so her foot can heal, and she called missing the tournament "one of the most devastating moments of my career."
The 28-year-old American was reportedly hurt by a broken glass at a restaurant while she was in Munich last month -- shortly after winning her fourth Wimbledon singles title on July 3 and before playing in an exhibition match against Kim Clijsters that drew a tennis-record crowd of 35,681 in Brussels on July 8.
Williams had surgery in Los Angeles on July 15. She had already pulled out of three hard-court tournaments she was scheduled to enter in preparation for the U.S. Open and also skipped playing World TeamTennis.
Williams' withdrawal also means she won't team with older sister Venus to defend the doubles title they won in New York last year. Venus, who hasn't competed on tour since Wimbledon because of a bothersome left knee, is expected to play singles at Flushing Meadows.
Andy Roddick, the 2003 U.S. Open champion, said Williams' absence is a "fairly big-sized hit for the tournament."
"I haven't had a chance to talk to her about it, but I do know the U.S. Open is probably her favorite event, so obviously, if she's this far out and is not going to play, it's got to be something pretty serious, which is unfortunate," Roddick said, "because there's no doubt about who the top draw card is in New York City as far as the women's side of the draw."
Later Friday, No. 10 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and three-time U.S. Open quarterfinalist Tommy Haas withdrew from the tournament. Carlos Berlocq of Argentina and Dudi Sela of Israel replaced them in the main draw.
Williams has participated in the last 16 major tournaments; the last one she missed was Wimbledon in 2006.
She won her first Grand Slam singles championship at the 1999 U.S. Open and also took home the trophy from New York in 2002 and 2008.
But in 2009, Williams lashed out at a lineswoman during her semifinal against eventual U.S. Open champion Clijsters. It was a profanity-laced, finger-pointing, racket-brandishing display during which Williams approached the official with what tournament director Jim Curley called at the time "a threatening manner."
About 2½ months later, Williams was fined $82,500 by the Grand Slam administrator and told she would be suspended from the U.S. Open if she has another "major offense" at any Grand Slam tournament in 2010 or 2011.
Both of Williams' titles this season came at major championships: the Australian Open and Wimbledon.
If healthy, she would have been considered the favorite at the U.S. Open, where play starts Aug. 30.
"We regret that Serena Williams is unable to play the U.S. Open and wish her a speedy recovery," Curley said Friday. "She will be missed, but the tournament is about the competition and the players on the court."
Five-time U.S. Open champion Roger Federer said Williams' withdrawal has "got to be disappointing for her and for the tournament. I'm sure it hurts, especially with her being an American."

Wired L O V E
The Hunger Games of course. The first one was brilliant,the second one was ok, and "Mockingjay" is so touching and it even made me cry. "Twilight" has bad actors for the movie and a bad writer for the book. I never read Harry Potter because my friends told me so many things about it that I never wanted to lay a finger on that book (for example, saying the book I was reading wasn't as good as "Harry Potter" ).
well, you should read harry potter js.
adults have read it more than children.
you know why most people say harry potter sucks or it's bad? because they're judging it by the first 3 books and/or movies. the harry potter series gets better and better.
that's why the harry potter series is the fastest selling book series ever and the series sold more copies than any other series. each book sold a lot.
the hunger games books got more disappointing while the harry potter books got better and better, and that's why most people prefer harry potter over the hunger games.

I just modified my homelink mirror installation. I'm going to include some info about installing the mirror as well for completeness sake.
I installed my mirror right after I got my truck (5yr ago). Used PB's write up on TN. http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/sh...ad.php?t=88851 The mirror is a Gentex 313. That write up and the installation inst from Gentex recommend an "always on" connection for the Homelink. I would prefer to be able to disable my homelink when my truck is in the driveway so someone who broke into my truck couldn't easily access my home.
Remove the overhead console by taking out the single screw in the top of the sunglasses holder. Then pull down on the front of the console near the mirror. It should pop down easily. There are two clips that hold it in place. They are small and metal. Usually they stick to the console, but might come off so hunt them down if they do. Just unplug the two wire harness attachments to remove the console completely.
There are 3 wires from the mirror: Black (ground), Yellow (battery/always on), and Red (ignition).
This is what mine looks like wired in:
There are 2 harness plugs on the console. A big one and a small one. The small one has only two wires: white and white/blk. The Black mirror wire is tapped into the black/white wire and the Yellow mirror wire is tapped into the white wire on this plug. This yellow wire is power for the homelink.
The larger plug has two green wires. The lighter/slightly larger green wire is what was recommended to me to connect to the Red mirror wire. It should have power only when the key is on. I'm told the other green wire is the same so it may not matter. This red wire apparently is power for the auto dimming feature.
This means that even if your truck is in your driveway without a key in the ignition the autodimming mirror won't work, but the HL will open your garage door. That raises security issues. One way around that is to wire your HL mirror so that both power connections are only on when the key is on. I think that means both the yellow wire and the red wire should be connected to the larger green wire. I could have done that, but I wanted to put a switch in that would disable the HL if I left my truck in the driveway. Not as clean as changing the wire, but more fun.
Caribe Makaira gave me invaluable help to make sure I didn't screw something up.
I used a 3M fuse tap to insert my switch into the ground wire from the mirror. I got the fuse tap here:
You cut the wire then put both ends in the tap and close it. The circuit is broken unless you insert a fuse. With a fuse in place the circuit is closed and the mirror works just like normal. I put male spade connectors on the leads to my switch and inserted them in the slots for the fuse and now the switch controls the power to the mirror. With the switch pressed the circuit is broken and neither the homelink nor the autodimming function work.
If I leave the truck in the driveway I can press the button and the HL won't work until I press it again.
This is the switch I used.
Flush mount. Worked great. The terminals don't look like the web site said.
This is the back of the switch:
I've used this before and found that attaching my wires to the top and bottom of the group of 3 terminals on the side that are unlabeled gave me what I wanted. In the normal state (switch not depressed) the homelink is on. If you press the switch all power to the mirror is interrupted. I didn't hook anything up for illumination of the switch.
I wanted this switch relatively hidden so if someone broke into my truck it wouldn't be obvious how to turn this back on. I put it in the sunglasses holder.
From the drivers seat it is easily accessible, but very hard to see. If you're in the passenger's seat it's easy enough to find if you look for it, but I think it blends in pretty well.
I highly recommend a drill bit like this:
Cost me $30 at home depot, but it is WAY better than anything else I've used. Last time I did this I scuffed things up a bit. This made a perfect hole.

The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit, self-perpetuating
society of distinguished scholars engaged in scientific and engineering research,
dedicated to the furtherance of science and technology and to their use for the
general welfare. Upon the authority of the charter granted to it by the Congress
in 1863, the Academy has a mandate that requires it to advise the federal govern-
ment on scientific and technical matters. Dr. Ralph J. Cicerone is president of the
National Academy of Sciences.
The National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964, under the charter
of the National Academy of Sciences, as a parallel organization of outstanding
engineers. It is autonomous in its administration and in the selection of its mem-
bers, sharing with the National Academy of Sciences the responsibility for advis-
ing the federal government. The National Academy of Engineering also sponsors
engineering programs aimed at meeting national needs, encourages education
and research, and recognizes the superior achievements of engineers. Dr. Charles
M. Vest is president of the National Academy of Engineering.
The Institute of Medicine was established in 1970 by the National Academy of
Sciences to secure the services of eminent members of appropriate professions
in the examination of policy matters pertaining to the health of the public. The
Institute acts under the responsibility given to the National Academy of Sciences
by its congressional charter to be an adviser to the federal government and, upon
its own initiative, to identify issues of medical care, research, and education.
Dr. Harvey V. Fineberg is president of the Institute of Medicine.
The National Research Council was organized by the National Academy of
Sciences in 1916 to associate the broad community of science and technology
with the Academy's purposes of furthering knowledge and advising the federal
government. Functioning in accordance with general policies determined by the
Academy, the Council has become the principal operating agency of both the
National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering in pro-
viding services to the government, the public, and the scientific and engineering
communities. The Council is administered jointly by both Academies and the
Institute of Medicine. Dr. Ralph J. Cicerone and Dr. Charles M. Vest are chair and
vice chair, respectively, of the National Research Council.

My President Clematis is about 3-4 years old, on a metal trellas, facing the North. It generally blooms early June and is about done at the end of the month.
Healty plant, blooms are big and nice. I see some others Presidents that bloom much longer.Any one know what is the general blooming duration? Anything I can do to keep them bloomed longer? If I deadhead, will they re-bloom again? As you can tell, I am a novice at this. Do President take any special care, besides keeping them away from special interest plant groups? :) Also, just brought two new types of Clematis, Ville De Lyon and Texenis Gravetye Beauty. Anyone know about caring for these or what to expect? They are facing East and get morning sun but shade in the afternoon. Thanks, Julyguy |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have EXACTLY same problem. Just wondering about it this afternoon... Mine is 2 yo. Planted facing south, but the location gets sun in the morning, not so much in afternoon due to big fir tree in front of our house. This year, it had much bigger blooms than last year, maybe several of them. But now flowers are done, it may bloom in fall, but I thought The President is more like all summer bloomer than spring/fall bloomer. Correct?? I too am looking forward to hear any advice on this. -b |

I'm no expert, but, I believe patience is the key. Clematis need water and fertilizer and sunshine. Use a standard fertilizer for roses (Rosetone, e.g.). Be sure to mulch them heavy as well. Gravetye Beauty is a gorgeous rose, and mine has been blooming for two months now...not totally loaded with blooms, but, you know it's blooming! Robert |
- Posted by flowerfan2 z8/ WA (My Page) on Wed, Jul 9, 08 at 10:07
My plant is only 5 years old planted in an E exposure. It hasn't been a heavy bloomer for me. I get 20-25 large blossoms in the spring. It hasn't rebloomed for me in the past, but I see this year it is starting to rebloom. As the plant matures you should get more blooms. After it's initial bloom you can fertilize it and give it water and hope for a rebloom. I love the flowers and grow it with a golden jasmine, so for me less flowers in with the golden jasmine looks better than a solid mass of flowers. So it works for me. I am sure as your plant matures you will get more flowers. I am. |

I haven't worked out in a week. I can already feel you judging me with your judge-y eyes. But ya know, sometimes you just need a break. I don't think my body really needed the break. More my brain. I had two midterms and one of the most important papers of my life due last week and I just wasn't feeling it. So I took a little break. I will probably walk back into the gym this week and get some fun comments. But such is life I suppose.
Flannel sheets are God's gift to mankind. Seriously. If you've never experienced sleeping in flannel sheets, I highly recommend you save up some money and invest in some. They are literally like sleeping in a cloud. I put mine on last night and had the best sleep ever. You know how regular sheets are cold when you first touch them? Hence the saying "cool as the flip side of the pillow." I think that's what that's referring to anyways. Well with flannel sheets you never have to worry about that awful analogy in the winter. Especially when all you want is a warm pillow. I think I could hibernate in these sheets all winter. Yes, I think I'm going to do that. Hibernate through all of winter and continue to not go to the gym. Just wake up occasionally to eat Christmas cookies and hot chocolate.
Speaking of Christmas cookies, I baked some yesterday. Yeah I did. My aunt and I take Christmas cookies very seriously. Hence why we start baking them in October. We are actually getting a late start this year. It's kind of alarming. But anyways we started baking them yesterday and we listened to Christmas carols while doing it. We also turned on her fireplace for .5 seconds before we realized that might be taking it a little too far. Which is saying a lot for us. Because Christmas never comes too early for us. I think I got some sort of Christmas gene from her because I literally don't know anyone else in the world who enjoys it as much as I do besides her. It's perfect. Everyone else in our family gets highly annoyed with us but we just love it. If I could put our Christmas tree up today I totally would. I would have done it 2 weeks ago. It would actually be fitting since our Christmas lights are still up from last year. That's not a joke. They really are. Well in one of our trees anyways. Our neighbors probably hate us. Shocking.
Speaking of holidays. let's talk about the one that's actually coming up this week. Halloweiner. Sorry if that was inappropriate. I was so excited because I finally got a pumpkin this weekend to carve, which I have been so excited to do. Until I actually starting carving the damn thing. Who freaking knew it was such a difficult process? I don't remember that part as a child. That might be because my brain was already high on Halloween candy and my mother did 99.2% of the actual carving. But still. I don't recall the struggle. I attempted to carve "Taylor Made It Paleo" into my pumpkin yesterday and was literally sweating. I think I picked the thickest pumpkin in the patch because all 3 of the carving tools in my four dollar carving kit broke within 4 seconds of me using them. Talk about some bullsh*t. So I resorted to kitchen knives which were also not easy to use. I'm shocked I didn't have to make an emergency trip to the ER during this process. I was literally sweating. And swearing. Needless to say it did not turn out well and I wasted $10 and 2 hours of my life. If you need a good laugh today, there is a picture of the masterpiece on my Facebook page or Instagram.
This has been a really long post. But there is one more thing I NEED to tell you guys about. Sort of. It's kind of a secret right now because it's in the works. But some BIG things are coming soon for this little blog and I cannot wait to tell you about them. My friends Joe and Anthony from the Hybrid Athlete are absolutely phenomenal and are helping me with some top secret projects that I think you guys are going to love. Any guesses what they could be? Come on. Guess. GUESS! I love secrets and hate them at the same time. Mostly because I get too excited and just want to blab about them to everyone. But I am staying strong. For now.
You are a saint for sitting through that ridiculously long post.

5 Earnings Stocks That Could Explode
If you're looking for an earnings short-squeeze play in the retail apparel sector, then consider Guess? (GES - Get Report), which is set to release numbers on Wednesday after the market close. This company designs, markets, distributes and licenses apparel and accessories for men, women and children. Wall Street analysts, on average, expect Guess? to report revenues of $656.38 million on earnings of 81 cents per share.
This company has been performing at a high-level during the past couple of quarters. Guess? has beat Wall Street estimates for the last four quarters in a row and the most recent quarter produced a huge beat that topped estimates by 1l cents. Revenue has also been trending up during the last four quarters between a range of 9.8% and 17.9%.
The current short interest as a percentage of the float for Guess? is a rather large 6.4%. That means that out of the 69 million shares in the tradable float, 4.34 million are sold short by the bears. It's worth pointing out that the short-sellers have also been increasing their bets from the last reporting period by 15.6%, or by around 584,000 shares. This notable increase in bearish bets could fuel a big short squeeze if the bears are caught leaning the wrong way into earnings. From a technical standpoint, the stock is currently trading significantly below its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which is bearish. The stock has been hammered during the past few months from a high of $44 a share in mid-July to its current price of just over $31 a share. That said, shares of GES have found some buying support recently at around $30.20 a share. The way I would pay this stock is to buy it after they report if it trades above $33 a share on big volume. Look for volume that's close to or greater than its three-month average action of 1.4 million shares. I would add to any long position once this stock clears some past overhead resistance at around $35 a share. Target a run back towards the 50-day moving average ($38.79) if the bulls can spark a big short squeeze. I would only short this name if it drops below that near-term support zone at $30.20 a share on heavy volume after they report. I would add to any short position once shares of GES takes out $28.75 a share on big volume, and target $25 to $23 a share if the bears want to pound this name ever lower.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

I am scared to start a fall crop. Only because it's so hot out still. I'm scared they will die before they ever get going! I just hope that I get a great crop this fall. |

I've kept my three tomato plants alive all summer, and towards the middle of august they started looking pretty ragged, but they're definitely perking up now. They sense a difference in the weather. Keep them shaded a little while longer if you do plant them now. If you're doing seedlings, I suggest starting them indoors so that you have older plants when you feel safe to put them in the ground. if you're going with plants, find the biggest largest ones you can find, they stand the best chance of giving you a better crop this fall. If you protect your tomato plants through the frost, expect a bumper crop come spring. |

I am happy that your plants made it through the summer. (at least someones did) I am putting them into large pots to grow. We are excited to eat fresh tomatoes again! The heat is starting to go down but I will still keep them shaded. When it gets below 90, they won't need the shade anymore correct? |
bought some cherry, big beef , and early girl bush with toms on it already there doing good. im shadeing with burlap now was useing a comercial sun screen from lowes witch is now over squash doing good ill be moving toms to the sunnest spot today will still shade with burlap as they get tougher. al's mix is holding up seems better this planting as the pine fines i used wernt to fine but broke down some.looking forward to useing for yrs. it was worth the effort to mix it for my large containers 18 to 26 gal. jerseymariah get some strong well developed plants shade for now youll do ok . ernest |

"These invites are beautiful! I customized mine quite a bit ( added a second location's address, omitted the parent's names and added a request for people to RSVP at our website). These invites are a great size so they can hold a lot of information. I also upgraded to the pearl finish and it is so lovely! I think it gives the invites a very polished look. The side ticket cut outs are also totally worth the slight extra cost. All in all I loved the final product. Thank you so much!"
"My fiance and I love the feel and look of this vintage style ticket card. We love how it's laid out and the font is simply beautiful."
"We had a last minute wedding date change... I ordered these and did express shipping. I love them. They are beautiful and shipped two days early which is perfect for sending them out. Thanks!"
"I absolutely LOVE my invitations ! Have had lots of compliments on uniqueness and personality . My only complaint is I had 1 pack of 25 envelopes that accidentally were 25 cards stating it was 25 envelopes, so last minute we had to run all over town trying to find envelopes big enough . We made it work and I still love my invitations !"
"I am so excited to send these out to my family and friends. The perfect invitation for my special day. My husband to be loves them."

a dark fantsy anime series
In the year 2092, the one hundred eighteen years old man Nemo Nobody, the last mortal alive after humans have become 'telomerized' and achieved quasi-immortality, is recounting his life story to a reporter. Although less than clear, often times thinking he is only thirty-four years of age, he tells his life at three primary points: at age nine, when his parents get divorced; at age sixteen, when he starts dating; and at age thirty-four, living his adulthood - all three unraveled into many other realities in a nonlinear narrative.
The plot also makes deep use of various scientific elements, such as the Big Bang theory, the Superstring theory, the Many-worlds interpretation and the concepts of telomeres and parallel universes.
