Companies have been struggling to wring out higher earnings quarter after quarter. It's not easy.
Analysts expect fourth-quarter S&P 500 earnings to have climbed just 6.2% when all the reports are tallied, according to data from Thomson Reuters. For the first quarter now under way, analysts collectively expect just 1.5% growth.
But a handful of elite IBD 50 companies have turned in sharply higher quarterly growth in their most recent quarters. And analysts see even stronger growth coming on their next quarterly report cards.
View Enlarged Image
Here are the top six IBD 50 stocks based on the expected percentage point earnings acceleration:
Evercore Partners (EVR), founded by former deputy Treasury Secretary Roger Altman, grew EPS by 153% in its fourth quarter. Analysts expect the strategic adviser to multinational corporations to extend that high rate by 287 percentage points, with a 440% jump in first quarter earnings.
The No. 25 on the IBD 50 list has been mostly climbing since mid-November. But shares pulled back 1.1% on the stock market this past week.
Automotive rental giant Hertz Global Holdings' (HTZ) earnings climbed 38% in its fourth quarter. As the No. 1 rental giant digests its November acquisition of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, analysts expect first-quarter EPS to jump 220% over the previous year. That's a 182 sequential quarter percentage point gain.
At No. 11 on the IBD 50, Hertz is the highest-ranked among these rapid-earnings-growth names. Its shares are trading near multiyear highs and climbed 3.9% this last week.
Black gold stuck in the shales of Montana and North Dakota is boosting earnings and future expectations for Oasis Petroleum (OAS). The independent oil and gas driller's earnings per share climbed 63% in its fourth quarter. Analysts are looking for a steep 172% hike in Q1 earnings. That's an increase of 109 percentage points between the fourth quarter and the first.
The driller is ranked No. 49 on the IBD 50. Shares were up 1.8% for the week.
Network test-equipment maker Ixia (XXIA) delivered solid 33% EPS growth in the fourth quarter. Analysts think that will climb 34 percentage points in Q1, with the consensus currently at 67% growth over the previous year's earnings.
Ixia already has logged three straight quarters of faster revenue gains, from 9% to 48%.
The tech firm is currently ranked No. 21 on the IBD 50 list. Shares edged 0.7% higher this week.
Chipmaker Semtech (SMTC) is expected to grow first-quarter earnings by 70%, an increase of 17 percentage points over the 53% bump it reported in Q4.
The company is No. 42 on the IBD 50. Shares have been surging higher since late November, and climbed 5% this past week.
Arm Holdings (ARMH) has thrived licensing its low-power chip designs for a wide variety of wireless devices is expected to report a 31% EPS gain for the March quarter, which would be a pickup from 18% in the year-end quarter.
That contrasts with iPhone and iPad maker Apple (AAPL), which reported a fractional profit decline in the latest quarter with a 17% drop seen for the March quarter.
ARM shares, which retreated after hitting a long-term high on March 5, rose 1.1% Friday to close back above their 50-day moving average. But the recovery has come on lighter volume.
ARM is No. 24 on the IBD 50.

Business Logos On Shirts, Mugs and More! Build Your Own Store FREE at CafePress

Full Review
: Long Review Ahead!
Have you ever wanted to create your own logos and sell t-shirts, bags, etc? Now you can! I've been working on a website and wanted to set up an "Online Gift Store" until they had their own line of items. With
we were able to create an online store for no start-up cost as well as not having to buy t-shirts, hats, etc. and have our logo printed on them. If you have a business and want professional looking items to sell or want to put your artwork, graphics, etc. on items to sell-this is the place to check out.
Learning the Ropes
I suggest going to the
site and check out their main page. Here you will find all of the basic information you'll need to make a decision or get started. They also give links to other stores that people have built to help you learn what a 'good store' contains. They also offer a lot of help throughout the process. I would say I spent a total of 10 hours getting the site completely ready for use. In any other situation I would have spent many hours just finding the t-shirts to buy in bulk so this is quite a time saver. You can take a lot of time and make an extravagant store or make it simple and be done in less than an hour. You do
need any HTML skills to run a store!
Setting Up
All you need to get your store running is a name, some personal information and a few logos or graphics (that you
the rights to!). You will upload the pictures but make sure you read about size and quality so that you don't wonder why it's rejecting your pictures. Remember that
offers help to you and your customers once you get your store set up and as you are setting it up. So don't be afraid to email as they've always been really helpful. Once you get images loaded you can pick an item (i.e. t-shirt) and add a description and place the logo as you'd like. You can pick the logo size and where it is placed (i.e. front of shirt, back of shirt, on the pocket, etc.) on most of the items. After that, you're done! You can add as many items to your store as you'd like. Usually they have around 10 available for you to chose from and use.
How Much?
You probably think it would cost quite a bit to get your logos on frisbees and mugs, have them shipped out to your customers, and not have to deal with returns. But, there is
no start up costs
whatsoever. You can create your entire store and nothing will
come out of your pocket. The way that
makes their money is by making the your product when someone orders it and then charging the base price. I'll talk more about that later. Just remember that you can set up a store completely free and never worry about paying
This is extremely good for start-up businesses and getting your name out. You want to create t-shirts to sell or give away since it's basically free advertising. Spending money to purchase the shirts and then have the logo designed and placed on the shirt can just about break a small business! With
you can buy your own products at the base price and sell them in a regular store or give out at your own will if you'd like.
Base Prices
Base prices are what
keeps when you sell an item. For example the base price of a t-shirt is $13.99, so if you want to make a profit you'd set the price to an amount higher than that. For a $1 per t-shirt profit you would set the sale price at $14.99. Some other base prices are; $10.99 for a 12oz. mug, $10.99 for a mousepad, and $18.99 for long sleeve t-shirt. Granted the prices aren't that cheap, but remember they are handling
! There are many more products to chose from and they often have 'limited' items which are available for a certain period of time and will disappear when they are no longer available. For example they had a box of chocolates and teddy bears for Valentines Day.
Buying Products
One of my friends set up a store for her online web design business and we both wanted to know the quality of the items. I bought a mug from her store to test the waters. Shipping speed and quality were both impressive. Shipping cost was in the $4 range for standard priority shipping. I received the item in a normal amount of time; I think around 4 days. I was
impressed by the image on the mug. It was nothing like a sticker and seemed extremely professional. She is a great designer and has a wonderful logo and I did not think it would be this picture perfect! I washed it in the dishwasher multiple times and nothing faded, disappeared, etc.
ou don't need to worry about shipping or taking payments whatsoever. You and your customers will be able to buy with American Express, Discover, MasterCard, Visa, Check Cards and money orders. I believe I saw something about paying by check and mailing your order in so that is also an option. You will be credited in your account the amount that you make on each sale and you will be paid within 45 days of the month you earned it as long as you made more than $10. Remember that if you don't earn $10 in 6 months they will take whatever you have had away. I personally think this is a stupid policy but, it earns them money so I doubt it will change any time soon.
I think
is extremely user friendly for both setting up shop and buying. Whether you are planning to buy from a store or sell your own logo items I feel extremely comfortable telling you to
go for it
. You really have nothing to lose but the few minutes of time it takes to set up the store. If you are unhappy...abandon ship!

William F. John (October 23, 1844 – 1927) was a Union Army soldier during the American Civil War. He received the Medal of Honor for gallantry during the Siege of Vicksburg on May 22, 1863.
Union assault[edit]
On May 22, 1863, General Ulysses S. Grant ordered an assault on the Confederate heights at Vicksburg, Mississippi. The plan called for a storming party of volunteers to build a bridge across a moat and plant scaling ladders against the enemy embankment in advance of the main attack. The volunteers knew the odds were against survival and the mission was called, in nineteenth century vernacular, a "forlorn hope". Only single men were accepted as volunteers and even then, twice as many men as needed came forward and were turned away. The assault began in the early morning following a naval bombardment.
The Union soldiers came under enemy fire immediately and were pinned down in the ditch they were to cross. Despite repeated attacks by the main Union body, the men of the forlorn hope were unable to retreat until nightfall. Of the 150 men in the storming party, nearly half were killed. Seventy-nine of the survivors were awarded the Medal of Honor.
Medal of Honor citation[edit]
For gallantry in the charge of the volunteer storming party on 22 May 1863.

What Do You Call a Soda?
This map shows the popular generic names for soft drinks by county. I'm really surprised, I thought more states used the word "soda" instead of "pop" and I actually didn't realize that so many people used the word "coke" to mean all soda.
Source: Neatorama
So hey, what do you call a soda?
I've never posted before but this topic brought me out...I'm from Minneapolis and we call it Pop and only Pop...when I came home from college saying Soda my friends and family lost their minds when I would say Soda...they'd laugh and laugh because it sounds so 'geeky' to them - you gotta admit Pop is a cooler word than soda...soda is what you put in a cocktail - soda water = tonic water...growing up when they would say soda on t.v. shows we'd wonder why they were saying that!
And here in Minnesota we say Tennis Shoes (i.e."Where are my tennies" or "I love your new tenna shoes") when we are referring to what the rest of the coutnry calls Sneakers...I can't imagine ever saying Sneakers! LOL!

Ryan Out With The Mini Versions of Himself & Reese
Ryan is getting in all sorts of good daddy time with Deacon and Ava the week before Father's Day. These kids look so identical to both their parents it's pretty much the cutest thing ever (which is not something I just throw around, or maybe it is, but this totally wins). Deacon is going to be such a heartbreaker! Even Ryan, who I've been pretty down on recently looks-wise, is hot in these pictures. That being said, maybe little Ava and Deacon should look into getting Ryan some FitSugar approved Father's Day Gifts, if you catch my drift.
To see more of the cuties just read more

The kids most definitely look like Reese with the big forehead and all.And the little girl Ava looks like an Amazon compared to her Ryan.He so sexy by the way.The little boy is really cute though.I can't say I'm happy they split,but they were to young anyway.
7 years
They seriously are beautiful children!! Ava is mini Reese and Deacon has a bit of both but I see so much Ryan in that one pic!! Both gorgeous though! Deacon is gonna be a stud!

Cute kids, but it looks like they inherited the unusually high forehead from their mother :)

I love those family photos x))
My! they look just like their parents.
I miss Reese! Where is she?

they are both adorable. and i agree roxy- for some reason, cute dad's with their kids are adorable!
7 years
Man, those kids are cute. Ava is becoming quite the little lady. I adore this family (and wish they were still a whole family), but ive been a little down on ryan since the divorce. It seems like he went from adorable (seemingly) loyal husband, to dirty skeez over night. (though id still have sex with him if he asked)

I have said it before and I will say it again- dads with their kids cutest thing ever

OMG, you can totally see the resemblance in that first pic where he's holding him. What a cute kid!

Hi: 12° Lo:6°
A BROMSGROVE driving instructor has had cause for a double celebration after two identical twins he was teaching passed their tests first time in the same week with the same number of minor faults.
David Maguire, who runs First Gear with his dad Carl, contacted The Standard about the feat involving Alex Montroy and his brother Adam who was born just two minutes after him.
But it was Adam who was the first to ditch the L plates as he passed his test two days before Alex - both with three minor faults.
Alex said: "After Adam passed earlier that week it really put the pressure on me, but I passed first time."
David added: "After passing both wanted to know who was the best driver but I said they were both identically good.
"It was a pleasure to get to know and teach two brothers who are the nicest young men you could meet, both took to driving as naturals and it was great that they both passed first time within days of each other."
He concluded by wishing them all the best for the future.
David was recommended to the twins by friends of theirs who also passed first time - after being taught by David's dad Carl.
Mum Angela Russell said, with them taking their tests in the same week, it was a relief they had both passed.
"You know what lads are like - they had been winding each other up about who was the best driver so the result was perfect.
"Although their personalities are very different, they both got good grades at school, both went to uni and now they have both passed their driving tests.
"I'm so proud of them both - we are all over the moon."
For more on First Gear, which is based in Bromsgrove and Rubery, visit www.firstgeardrivinginstructors.com, call David on 07432 147066 or Carl on 07773 173578.

Every single phone worth money for years has had an unsubsidized price of at least $550 with a few exceptions of course (G1 is only $400, but it is a generation old hardware). An iPhone 3GS 32gb retails for $699 straight up. The HTC HD2 is $899 on Amazon. Good phones aren't cheap as I am sure a lot of you know. So in this respect, $530 is actually a pretty good deal; especially when you compare it to the HD2 which has the same processor and similar hardware. You are getting a next-gen phone with the best screen to ever be on a phone, double the ram of most high end phones, and double the resolution of most high end phones. You expected the best of the best to be cheap? Pfft...
Also, my current T-Mobile plan is superior to what is going to be offered. It will be cheaper and easier in the long run to just buy the phone straight up.
What I am seeing from people is they see $530 and freak the hell out because they have the $180 to compare it against. Sure, there is a big difference there, but you are locked in to a contract for 2 years. $80 * 24 months + $180 = $2100 over 2 years! AND you only have 500 minutes. If you bought the phone straight up and went with Even More Plus for $80/mo, you get unlimited everything. $80 * 24 months + $530 = $2450. Yes, this is more expensive, HOWEVER, how many times will you go over your 500 minutes in the next 2 years? If this is not a problem for you, by all means, go right ahead and get the contract deal since it suits you. But for me, and I suspect most people, 500 minutes is not enough. For the additional $350 over 2 years, or $14.58 and change every month, it is worth having those unlimited minutes.
Does anybody else agree with me on this? All of my phone junkies I talk to agree that $530 is reasonable. Sure, we all would love a less expensive phone, but lets get real here...
Oh, and if this "leak" turns out to be false, than what an awesome waste of time and all of this is moot! LOL

Hot-Smoked Sablefish (Black Cod) Luscious sablefish (black cod) is a great candidate for this simple smoked-fish recipe.

Some of these are on display at the museums in Norway and Germany.

Cole to undergo ankle operation
12 Feb 2010 - 14:44:52
Chelsea defender Ashley Cole will undergo surgery on his broken ankle on Friday.
Cole's place in England's World Cup squad has been placed in jeopardy after he limped out of the midweek defeat at Everton with an ankle problem which was diagnosed as a bone fracture on Thursday.
The 29-year-old full-back is now in a race against time to be fit for England's first World Cup game on June 12 against USA in Rustenburg.
Speaking on Thursday evening, Blues boss Carlo Ancelotti could not guarantee that Cole would be fit for the start of the tournament in South Africa.
Asked whether he would made the deadline, he told Sky Sports News: "I don't know. I think so. I hope for him and for the England team. We are very disappointed because Ashley is a very important player for us.
"Now we have to do our best to help him recover quickly."

Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the world's largest retailer and the nation's largest private employer, is making a pledge to hire every veteran who wants a job.
The plan is set to be announced as part of an address delivered in New York on Tuesday at the annual retail industry convention by Bill Simon, president and CEO of Wal-Mart's namesake U.S. business.
Wal-Mart, based in Bentonville, Ark., says it projects it will hire more than 100,000 veterans in the next five years. Honorably discharged veterans will have a "place to go", says Wal-Mart's Simon, according to prepared text supplied by the discounter. The hiring pledge, which will begin on Memorial Day, covers veterans within 12 months of leaving active duty. Most of the jobs will be in Wal-Mart's stores or its Sam's club locations. Some will be in the company's distribution centers.
"Let's be clear; hiring a veteran can be one of the best decisions any of us can make," Simon plans to say in his address to retailers gathered on the third day of the four-day National Retail Federation convention. "Veterans have a record of performance under pressure. They're quick learners, and they're team players. These are leaders with discipline, training, and a passion for service. There is a seriousness and sense of purpose that the military instills, and we need it today more than ever."
Wal-Mart says it believes it is already the large private employer of veterans in the country.
The company says that it has spoken to the White House about its commitment, and said the First Lady Michelle Obama's team has already expressed an interest in working with Wal-Mart and with the rest of the business community.
In the next several weeks, the White House will convene the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Defense and major U.S. employers to encourage businesses to make significant commitments to train and employ American's returning veterans, according to Simon's prepared text.
Wal-Mart which also operates Sam's Clubs, employs more than 1.4 million workers in the U.S.

The psychology of hitting 'The Wall'
'The Wall' is the term used to describe the point (usually after 20 miles) in a marathon when an athlete experiences a severe drop in pace. Usually, this is thought to coincide with an athlete running out of fuel in the form of glycogen. However, it is quite possible that there is also a psychological component to the Wall.
This has been most evident in recent years, where we have witnessed a massive improvement in marathon times, with four male athletes going under the former world record time of 2:03:59 in 2011.
One reason for this improvement in marathon times is the 'no fear' attitude that was first displayed by the late Samuel Wanjiru of Kenya, who won the marathon gold in Beijing. Despite hot and humid conditions, Wanjiru led that race from gun to tape displaying a blatant disregard for the marathon distance and adverse conditions.
This one race seemed to alter the mind-set of other top marathon runners, who were now willing to attack the race without fear. So expect to see a fast and furious marathon in London, where a world record pace from the outset is not out of the question.

Richard W. Chote
Richard W. Chote, beloved husband, father, and grandfather, died peacefully at home on May 14, 2013. A 5th generation Central Texan, Dick was born in Austin on September 27, 1940. He and his wife of fifty years, Eleanor Ann Tyler Chote, were in 1st grade together at Pease Elementary. He was in the first class to start Casis Elementary, and Dick and Eleanor were both graduates of O'Henry, Austin High ('58), and the
University of Texas
at Austin ('62). While at the University of Texas, Dick served as President of Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, and was a member of the Texas Cowboys. After graduation, Dick served in the
United States Navy
aboard the USS Eldorado, which participated in the naval blockade during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. After leaving active duty in 1964, Dick and Eleanor returned to Austin where Dick graduated from The University of Texas Law School in 1967. Over the years, Dick served the Episcopal Church in many leadership roles. He was on the St. David's Episcopal Church vestry and was Senior Warden in 1981. He was also a board member for the Episcopal Diocese of Texas Church Corporation, St. Andrew's Episcopal School, and St. Stephen's Episcopal School. He and Eleanor were an integral part of a new church plant, St. Barnabas, from 1995-2010. In his legal career, Dick clerked for Federal District Judge Jack Roberts and was a Partner with Flahive & Ogden before opening his own private practice. He ran his own practice in estate planning for more than 20 years. Dick was also an active member of the Downtown
Rotary Club
of Austin for over 40 years. From 2000-2012 Dick was a director for the Bank of Texas, Austin. For the past 3 years, Dick has been a dedicated member of Christ Church of Austin, Anglican. He was a believer in faith-based small groups, participating in and leading Bible studies, prayer groups, and healing teams for many years. Dick was passionate about his faith and loved spreading the Gospel. Teaching others about Jesus was his true calling in life. A lifelong Texas football and baseball fan, Dick never left a game until "Gabriel blew his horn." He was an outdoorsman and was in his element when hunting with friends or clearing brush in Wimberley, Texas. Dick is survived by his wife, Eleanor, and two daughters, Eleanor "Cacki" Chote Jewart and Ann-Tyler Chote Konradi and her husband Brian Konradi. He is also survived by five granddaughters: Rebecca Tyler Konradi, Eleanor Ames Jewart, Elena Catherine Konradi, Helen Lucas Jewart, and Alexandra Chote Konradi. In addition, he is survived by his sister and brother-in-law, Diana Chote Smith and Charles Smith, and Eleanor's sister and brother-in-law, Kathleen Tyler Ballard and Jerry Ballard. He was preceded in death by his brother, James Benjamin Chote. On Friday, May 17, 2013 there will be a visitation at Weed-Corley-Fish Funeral Home at 3125 North Lamar Avenue from 5 until 7 pm. The funeral will be held Saturday, May 18, 2013 at 10:00 am at Christ Church of Austin, Anglican.

The department of English Language and Literature aims to teach all the students it serves, both majors and non-majors, to write and speak well and to read skillfully, thoughtfully and with pleasure. We continue to offer many courses that stress literary history and canonical figures, but we also give our students opportunities to experiment with a variety of new fields, theoretical perspectives and linguistic developments, and to pursue creative writing of their own.
We expect that our majors will graduate with an understanding of the historical and cultural forces that have shaped literatures in English, beginning in the British Isles, but now spread across the world. We want all our students to learn to wrestle with the complex interpretive challenges that literature poses and to become, in the words of Henry James, people "upon whom nothing is lost."

Plein Air Painting - Where To Paint
Best places for painting landscapes en plein air! In our last post, we discussed the definition and history of plein air painting; determining that the simplest definition is "painting nature from within nature." Today, we'll take a little trip to discover said nature, and pick out a few perfect locations for plein air paintings! People have always had a dynamic relationship with nature. Nature is beautiful; it is also dangerous and, at times, downright scary. But whether we are revering nature or fearing it, there is always a sense of awe attached. Nature is wondrous.

The midnight sun shines on the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Australian musical ambassadors to Russia, reports Michael Shmith from St Petersburg.
'You will have to pinch me, but here we are," said Markus Stenz, chief conductor of the Melbourne Symphony to his musicians at their first rehearsal in St Petersburg on Wednesday morning. It was a long way to St Petersburg - more than 30 hours' flying time - but here they were, at last, in the land of the rouble and (at this time of year) the midnight sun where, as a touring wit remarked, Russian men tell their wives, "I'll be home before dark".
Further pinching might have been required on Thursday night after the first of the MSO's two concerts at the Stars of the White Nights Festival, when an ecstatic audience called Stenz back to the podium for two encores.
The standing ovation was led by the festival's artistic director, the indefatigable maestro Valery Gergiev, sitting appropriately in the Tsar's box. Just along from Gergiev, in the front row, was Victoria's arts Tsarina, Mary Delahunty, Australia's ambassador to Russia, Leslie Rowe, and MSO managing director Trevor Green.
The concert was held in the pale-blue-and-glittering-gold splendour of the Mariinsky Theatre, between Wednesday's performance of Wagner's Gotterdammerung and last night's of Mussorgsky's Boris Godunov, which had its premiere on this stage in 1874. Another Mariinsky first was notched up on Thursday with the first encore: as the hushed beauty of Irish Tune from County Derry stole into the space that has, over the years, resounded with Tchaikovsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Stravinsky and Prokofiev, it was patriotically comforting for the 180-odd Australians to be able to include our own Percy Grainger in that pantheon. The second encore, Johann Strauss's Thunder and Lightning Polka, crackled with energy.
The orchestra began with Fingerprints by the Georgian composer Giya Kancheli, written for the MSO last year. "The strength of the piece is unmitigated commitment," Stenz told the players at rehearsal. In performance, this commitment was almost overwhelming in its dynamic strengths and, particularly, silences. It was received with cheers, particularly when Stenz, for his third bow, held up the score to acknowledge the composer. The orchestra - and it is a large one - had every reason to look delighted with themselves.
After the interval came Mahler's Symphony No.4, sounding fresh, vivid and responsive. The wooden auditorium and the forward placing of the orchestra over the normal pit gave a warm immediacy and lustrousness of sound that we do not always hear in the Melbourne Concert Hall. The soprano soloist, Anna Netrebko, sang of the heavenly joys with a strong, supple and quite magnificent voice. It helped that she is beautiful, with a slender figure and innate charm. It was a coup, and a luxury, to have Netrebko, supplied specially by Gergiev from the Mariinsky Opera.
The end of this concert signified one of those moments where everyone had reason to feel something rare and wonderful had happened. For the orchestra, the glory of having performed in such a cultural citadel was beyond financial or physical measure; to have played with such cohesive energy and commitment transcended the merely good, becoming great.
For Markus Stenz, who had to work with one of the world's most influential and active conductors looking over his shoulder, the concert must have been a personal triumph. For Trevor Green and his management team, it was the sort of event that should position the MSO higher on the international concert market. For those of us travelling with the orchestra (supportive sectional observers, you might say) it was a great night to be Australian: Melbourne triumphs, certainly; but this was also a night to be nationalistic.
Beforehand, I asked St Petersburgers why they were coming to hear an orchestra from a country not even discovered in 1703, when Peter the Great decided to build a city on Russia's north-west marshlands. Reasons varied. One woman said she attends everything in the White Nights festival; since this year's runs from May to July, she was looking quite fit at the halfway point. Another woman turned out to be from Melbourne, via St Louis, and was bringing her Russian boyfriend to hear her local band. One couple said the most telling thing: "It's Gergiev's choice. His choices are always good."
The influence of Gergiev in all this is profound. He invited the MSO after the Melbourne Festival treated the Kirov Opera (the Mariinsky still uses its former title abroad) so well during its visit to the 2001 festival. It was good to see in the audience the festival's former general manager, Ian Roberts, as well as Beverley Mitchell, the wife of its former chairman, Harold; both men have played important parts in following up Gergiev's invitation. Also along, in addition to Minister Mary, are representatives of the City of Melbourne, the MSO board, including its chairwoman, Sylvia Miller, and corporate and private sponsors. This can only strengthen the relationship between St Petersburg and Melbourne, twin cities.
Afterwards, at a small official function in one of the Mariinsky's many handsome reception rooms, Georgian champagne and chocolates were served. Markus Stenz was greeted with more applause. He was still overwhelmed, so too the musicians. "I'm very, very proud of them," Stenz said.
Trevor Green said that Gergiev was impressed with the MSO. Green suggested to his host that he might come back to Australia to conduct the MSO, an idea he thought about for maybe a second and then said, "Well, yes."
There's many a slip 'twixt the samovar and the lip, but if the maestro likes us as much as we like him, this could be on. A mole in the Tsar's box informed me that Gergiev took great interest in the techniques of some of the MSO principal players, leaning forward to hear details of phrasing. Perhaps an exchange program between the Mariinsky and the MSO could be in the works.
Last night, the MSO gave its second concert in the very different surroundings of the Cloister at Smolny Cathedral, east of the city. Here, the music of Sibelius, Richard Strauss and the Australian composer, George Lentz, echoed through this dauntingly mysterious church, so different from the contained majesty of the Mariinsky.

Keith Moon Is Vomiting in His Grave
When Jake starts hanging out with a new friend from school, Eldritch (Graham Patrick Martin), Alan is initially excited that Jake is friends with one of the popular kids. However, soon Alan realizes Eldritch is a bad influence when the boys steal some beers and drink on the beach. An enraged Alan wants to give the boy's mother, Lyndsay (Courtney Thorne-Smith) a piece of his mind, until he sees how hot the woman is. Soon she calls him for a date and the two end up sleeping together in the restaurant.
Back at home, a drunk Charlie is trying to write the theme song for a lame new Nick show and struggles. He lets Jake and Eldritch sneak back outside with some girls, despite Jake being grounded, in exchange for the kids listening to his new jingle. He also manages to cover for Alan, so Jake doesn't find out his boinking his friend's mom.

Lava gull
Lava gull | |
Conservation status | |
Scientific classification | |
Kingdom: | Animalia |
Phylum: | Chordata |
Class: | Aves |
Order: | Charadriiformes |
Family: | Laridae |
Genus: | Leucophaeus |
Species: | L. fulginosus |
Binomial name | |
Leucophaeus fulginosus (Gould, 1841) |
Synonyms | |
Larus fulginosus |
The lava gull (Leucophaeus fuliginosus) is a large gull, probably related to the Laughing gull. One of the rarest gulls in the world, the entire population lives on the Galapagos Islands and is estimated at 300–400 pairs.
The adult plumage, acquired in the third year of life, consists of a black head, black wings, and with a dark gray body and a paler gray belly. The bill and legs are black, and the inside of the mouth is scarlet. They have white upper and lower eyebrows, with red lids. Immature gulls are generally dark brown.
Lava gulls are solitary nesters, laying two olive-colored and well-camouflaged eggs that take 30 days to incubate. Young birds fledge at 60 days and are cared for by adults for a short period.
They are omnivores like most Larus gulls, generally scavenging or stealing from nests, but will also catch fish, small crustaceans, and newly hatched lizards, iguanas, and turtles.
The lava gull is categorized as "vulnerable" by the IUCN Red List because it exists in small numbers and though the population is stable, it faces numerous threats.
