ORLANDO, Fla., Dec. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- At Management Word Americas, Amdocs (NYSE: DOX), the leading provider of customer experience systems and services, today announced the launch of Amdocs BSS Advance and Amdocs Business Building Blocks. Amdocs BSS Advance is a fully integrated, complete business support systems (BSS) offering that provides a holistic view of the customer and features an embedded integration and implementation layer to reduce time to production. Designed to work in conjunction with Amdocs BSS Advance, Amdocs Business Building Blocks is a catalog of pre-tested, pre-integrated innovative use-case scenarios that service providers can deploy to speed new services to market.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120722/NY44154LOGO )
Amdocs BSS Advance highlights:
- A complete, fully-integrated BSS offering consisting of key solutions from Amdocs' CES solution portfolio, including Convergent Charging & Rating, Billing & Financials, Resource Management, Customer Management & Ordering. The suite's full integration eliminates the risk and complexity of implementing multiple systems, provides a single view of the customer across the system and leverages a centralized product catalog.
- A new embedded integration and implementation layer and "best practice" product model enables deployment of multiple business processes and use cases, resulting in faster time to market for new products and services. The suite has been pre-tested for functionality and performance across multiple business processes.
- This highly scalable solution meets the needs of the largest service providers, but offers reduced total cost of ownership (TCO) due to the integration and implementation layer as well as support of lower-cost platforms (such as Linux) and virtualization support.
- Beyond the core BSS capabilities that come with BSS Advance, product "add-ons" from Amdocs' complete BSS offering can also be integrated to manage the complete customer experience from the device to the network. These include Amdocs Policy, Multi-Channel Self Service and Proactive Care.
Amdocs Business Building Blocks (BBB) highlights:
- A catalog of pre-integrated and pre-tested software modules designed to address specific business needs. Instead of creating a new capability from scratch, service providers can simply select the appropriate Business Building Block with the assurance that the solution is already tested and pre-integrated to support Amdocs BSS Advance.
- The focus is on supporting innovative use cases that service providers can deploy quickly to differentiate themselves and begin generating revenues.
- The initial catalog of Business Building Blocks includes market offers such as prepaid top-up awards, prepaid discounts and allowances, and data services monetization. As part of its concept of a BBB Factory, Amdocs plans to add new Business Building Blocks to its catalog as they are developed, independent from product releases.
"Service providers know too well they must exploit every opportunity for greater operational efficiency while maintaining competitive time-to-market intervals. The real significance of Amdocs BSS Advance is that it provides a complete suite of business support systems that incorporate an industry leader's many years of experience," said Susan McNeice, chief executive officer of Software Market Insight. "Amdocs has already done the heavy lifting of integration and implementation, taking out the complexity and allowing service providers to speed time to value."
"The rapid introduction of new functionality through the use of Amdocs Business Building Blocks translates our system capabilities into tangible business results, enabling service providers to keep their focus on service innovation and differentiating their business as Amdocs simplifies the enabling technologies," said Rebecca Prudhomme, vice product for product and solutions marketing at Amdocs.

The most dramatic difference at MWC was an emphasis on presenting wearables as fashion accessories and moving away from the original clunky technology associated with t...

the room was spacious and very clean. Comfortable beds, able to open window for fresh air,and quiet street and hallway. - Alison
Very nice hotel. Nicely decorated room, comfortable bed, delicate bathroom, friendly staff. We had our baby with us, and the hotel offered a baby cot free of charge. Also, the location is great. Just around the corner you have Place de la Republique with several good places to have breakfast / brunch. Our favourite was Café de la Republique. Also, only 10-15 mins walking distance to the shopping and bar/cafe area in Le Marais. We even walked 25-30 mins to Montmartre. I.e. this is a good locatio - Anonymous
The hotel staff were friendly and helpful. The room was clean and nicely
decorated. It wasnt massive but perfect for a weekend stay. It is
located in a more residential area however this was nice as after a day
walking around Paris in the hustle and bussle it was nice to stay
somewhere more relaxing and it to see where the real Parisians live. - Anonymous
beds very confortable, clean, modern, helpful staff, excellently located in the heart of the Marais, I will return there next time I come to Paris, I've been upgraded to a superior room with no extra fee, great service - Anonymous

Excellent front desk staff, very helpful and friendly. Great location. This was my second stay at the Eiffel Seine and I do recommend it. - Anonymous
The hotel was amazing! Great water pressure in the shower and plenty of hot water. The air conditioning was nice too because it was hot in Paris when I was there. Location was perfect; near a metro stop and only steps from the Louvre! The staff was very friendly and allowed us to store our bags because we arrived three hours before check-in! Stay here; it was great! - Hilary
The hotel is located away from the main hussle of central paris but due to it's location right next to a metro station and tram line it was the ideal location for getting anywhere you want to go. The service was outstanding and the modern feel of a hotel within such an old building was nice too. Would definately stay there again next time in Paris - Scott
Minimum fuss, good location, very good value for money - Tim
Nice Hotel and great location - Anonymous
Comfortable beds, good sized room, good bathroom with toiletries, tea and coffee facilities in room, helpful reception staff, convenient location - Anonymous

Submitted by linuxwrangler
linuxwrangler (582055) writes "A Chinese couple has applied to name their baby @. The Chinese often use an English-like pronunciation of '@' with a pronounced 'T' which is similar in Mandarin to "love him". It is not-yet known if the government, which recently banned use of Arabic numerals, foreign languages, and non-Chinese symbols in names, will accept baby @."

Dr. Matt will fix you.
If you like hot food, order the Banzai Bowl, Volcano Style (Mr Lee's sauce cooked in).
They make great sounding drums that are used for rock, metal, punk, and many other genres.
Try the Pub Burger. It's so good and better than others I've had at other places including Father's Office.
Try the Porterhouse if you want the best steak. I prefer it medium-rare, but it's the best of both worlds.
The breakfast sandwiches are great. Try the EGG ala BAGEL.
Try the Naked Chicken Tostada Salad. Healthy and tasty.

In contradiction with my own rules, guess who's picking up the tab for their medical care?
Hint: most likely not their insurance, since they probably don't have any.
The joke is on us, folks.

Spring and not so much spring pictures and garden news.
Today I was taking pictures out in the garden. First some early daffodils blooming over in the left side of the front yard.
It has been a very mild winter and the honeysuckle vines stayed green all year and are already growing.
Even the tulips are coming up out of the ground already. I think it's early for that but I guess they know what they are doing. These are Darwins and on their second year having been planted not last fall but the year before. I planted them really deep hoping for good returns.
Dutch Iris have already sprouted lots of folliage but it is a long time untill they are supposed to bloom around here!
But not everything is growing. Here is the driveway side slope that is covered in four rows of daylily plants. Right now you can barely see anything between the straw mulch. After they start growing you can't even see the mulch that is always between them. And of course this slope is stunning in bloom come summer. Pretty sorry looking right now, isn't it? You can barely even see one of the daylily plants in the closeup as no daylilies are growing around here yet.
That brings me to the front yard. It just looks like a mass of leaf mulch on the bottom terrace since you can't even see where the two rows of daylilies are along the front. You can't see the daylilies at either end of those two belgium block terraces either. You can just see the daffodils along in there. At least the early daffs are blooming. Many more to come as in there is a long trumpet mix of which most are just still low to the ground as they started growing.
On the one hand it is nice to see the daffs but how will the actual spring bloom time be looking with everything blooming now?
I'm hoping all of mine stay hidden till the end of March.
Most of the sevs/evs still have the green way down but the dormants, as far as I can tell, are still hiding and no blossoms on the forsythia which is a good sign. However, the pussy willow is blooming. I just love those soft nubs on the branches BUT it is early for them to start.
Spring really is popping, isn't it? I have a surprising number of daffs blooming also. Most are those old fashioned extra early ones, but it is still early. We've had some really cold days & they have still thrived though. My dwarf iris are in bloom, actually should be finishing soon. I'm seeing more iris & daylily foliage all the time. Today was beautiful outside, I spent a lot of time in the garden.
I am just so ready for winter to be over and it wasn't even much of a winter here. Almost always warm for this time of year with lots and lots of rain but no snow. But I still hardly spend any time outdoors. Just stay in and wait for warmer weather and things in the garden to green up.
Wow, Rita...daffodils in February! That is crazy-early. Good to see them, but hopefully you will have still more blooms at the correct time. Glad to see your daylilies know better than to start up just yet. You never know what Mother Nature has up her sleeve. I have snow here...not real deep but its white everywhere for a change, with more snow on the way. What a weird winter is right! This is the least snowy winter on record here. My husband's business relies on the snow for revenue and he has gone without a paycheck for a couple weeks now. It feels strange to be wishing for snow!
No wishing for snow here, only wishing for spring. But it is coming now that it is almost March. I will be working on my spring rose prunning very soon as each spring I trim my roses back really strongly.
And it's great to start up daylily season early but not so hot if that means it is over in a big fat hurry. That is why I have been adding more and more and more of the late and extra late bloomers. This way my daylily season truely does last a very long time.
Today is another nice day and I was outside this afternoon pushing off and taking off mulch that had blown around (fall leaves) off some of the tulips. The three new sections of Darwins (some are shown in the tulip picture I took above) which are now on their second spring are coming up really nicely. I planted them deeply not last fall but the year before. At this stage just from looking I can't see any difference between what they looked like last spring coming up and what they look like now. Meaning the beds looks full with lots of tulips so looks like great return.
But I was also removing mulch from the section of the extra early mix I bought from Scheepers. Those are not Darwins, they bloom earlier. I had 200 but from the looks of what is coming up, nowhere near that now. Poor return. Looks like less than half of what I had last year. I am hoping that since it is still early more of those tulips might still come up but not sure that will happen. I should of planted more of those extra earlies along in that same section like I thought of doing this past fall but for some reason I didn't order them and didn't do it. As of now I deffinately plan to add more of them this fall. The section I am referring to is in the front yard between and in back of the daylilies along the stone wall.
Then I also have a section in another garden bed. Some perrenials in the back (columbines) then a row of daffs in front of that. Literally a row because that is how I planted them. Then a row of clumps of tulips in front of the daffs. They were planted 5 of a type in a grouping in a hole. Then dig next hole next to it and five more and so on. Well some clumps comming up but bare spots between them which means certain clumps not coming up at all. These were non darwins, don't remember which class, that I bought because they were so pretty. Planted just as deeply. So no knowing if they might show up but not looking promising. I will have to replant there by just marking with a brick each empty spot in the row so I know were to put new clumps in the fall.
The daffodils are just lovely, and are blooming nicely for you. Only my crocus are in bloom here, and they are a few weeks early. No complaints about that. I am ready for spring and like you my winter really wasn't all that bad.
Hope your tulips start to come along, they were all so beautiful last year.
Hi Rita,
Well, it won't be long until green is pushing up through all that straw and the leaves. The daffs look very pretty.
I have lots of tulips and the daffs are blooming. Winter forget to stop here. It had a few short visits. That doesn not bode well for my season, I'm afraid. AAh well, it is what it is. We will likely have a late cold snap to cause more damage, but that's weather. At least we aren't in Europe's freezer.
We have had a winter with lots and lots of rain but no snow. In fact it is raining now. Rained all night and supposed to keep up thru tomorrow. Imagine if it was all snow. But I hate the snow so glad to have the rain and the overly warm winter this year.
Never have I had daffodils blooming in February. Starting in Mid March rarely in a very early year and often not until mid April. But I am looking forward to all the daff and tulip blooms and already plotting to get more bulbs to plant this comming fall. I do love those spring bulbs.
Crazy weather has been all over the place this year. While we had a warm winter here in the east and much of the midwest Alaska has had a deepfreeze going with really, really exceptional cold since last fall. I don't know what's going on in the world.
Maybe it is just early for some of the tulips, or maybe some have pulled down deeper than others. I don't think my tulips stopped coming up, they just don't bloom. Every once in a while I'll dig them up, divide them & replant. I'll get some nice blooms for a couple of years.
Well Rita, you know I always buy and plant new tulips. The cost of a hundred of them is less than many daylilies I buy, and I love the bloom! Planting them is a bit of a pain, but it is worth it. Now I need to handle the squirrel problem, and I will be set. Your tulips were so lovely last year, we are all hoping for good rebloom.
I always think of spring when my crocus bloom. Today I have three crocus blooming so that means it must officially be spring in my garden. I used to have more crocus, I just don't anymore what with all the garden bed redos. I have decided that I will definately plant a really large amount of them this fall. At least a thousand I think. If I do that then next spring I wouldn't have any problems finding crocus blooming.
Kay, definately the planting in the fall of all those bulbs is too much work but then it sure is worth it in the spring.

Bright, green-tinged yellow. Cardamom and spearmint dominate the nose. Densely packed and salty but also quite high-pitched, with lemon and lime flavors energized by tightly coiled minerality. Voluminous but very backward. This will need a good six to eight years of cellaring. A rather unusual combination of exotic on the nose and saline on the palate.

Gallery: AIA CONVENTION: Growing Beyond Green
The American Institute of Architects 2007 National Convention and Design Exposition starts this Thursday in San Antonio. This year's theme, "Growing Beyond Green," highlights the many facets of sustainability that face the design community today. In a relatively short time span, green building has evolved from an amorphous concept into a sophisticated set of parameters for high-tech design, complex engineering, and yes- new liabilities. So much change in so little time ensures that this year's convention presents huge opportunities to explore new technologies, practices, and products.
As San Antonio locals, we will be covering the convention, along with Inhabitat's official AIA representative, Evelyn. Just a few of the highlights include:
+A special presentation by Al Gore!!!*
+A lecture by David Suzuki, renowned scientist, broadcaster, and environmentalist +A "small living" seminar directed by the Sarah Susanka Studios (of The Not So Big House) +Sessions on how to "green" an architectural practice, from the better buildings to better values +Educational courses on utilizing green power +Tours of local green buildings and historic architecture +Cool new stuff on the exhibit floor….and much more!
Check back for the latest!
*While we are thrilled at the chance to see Al Gore, we will not be able to report on the presentation, as Gore's representatives have mandated a blanket ban of all media coverage on the session.

While reports suggest that girls surpass boys on many standardized measurements of math and science, far fewer girls go on to choose careers that involve STEM -- science, technology, engineering and math -- writes Lisa Damour, an author and co-director of the Center for Research on Girls at Laurel School in Ohio. Girls may struggle in the classroom with tasks that do not produce clear, polished outcomes, writes Damour in this column, and she suggests that teachers look for opportunities to teach girls how to "tinker."

Dahlia Growing/business questions
My name is Nicki and I have a few dahlia/business questions. We are working
on establishing a small hobby type farm with a few key products one being
dahlias. I have grown dahlias for 4 years now and have had great success so
far. I know the large wheat/cattle farmers that live around the area think I
am nuts and there is no way to make flowers profitable but I am really hoping
to prove them wrong. I have a list of questions that I am hoping there are
some kind souls out there who would not mind sharing some info from there
years of experience.
I have posted this on a few other lists as well so if you see it more than
once I do apologize.
I posted a few months ago looking for a list of dahlias that are patented and
not available for resale by private individuals. I have found a list for
Canada and the UK but still nothing in the US. I know I saw a list for the
US last year somewhere but cannot seem to find it again. If anyone knows
where to find it I would love to know. Or if anyone knows of dahlias listed
on THE BIGLIST that are patented and not available for resale by private
individuals that would also be great. Or even a list of breeders that
normally patent there dahlias so I can check before adding them to our
I am getting ready to apply for my nursery license so I can sell/ship dahlias
and will be getting inspected by the department of agriculture for the first
time this year. I have to admit the thought of being inspected is very scary
I dont really know why but I would hate to go through months worth of work
and find out we missed something. When I call and ask what they inspect for
they just say disease/pests. For those who have had there plants inspected
in Washington or other states is there anything common in dahlias that would
make you not pass.
I also read and keep notes on all the pest/disease problems that people have
and am kind of curious if there are people out there who really dont have any
problems? I only ask because I keep looking for even the smallest signs of
anything and have not found much atleast nothing that seems to really affect
my plants. I do have wonderful natural predators lady bugs mainly and have
gone out of our way to maintain some of the natural vegitation inbetween
smaller garden areas to make sure they are happy. We have large mounds of
Canary? grass that usually reaches 6-8 feet tall and each plant usually has
40 plus lady bugs on it. We have approximatley 15 of these large grass
mounds in the garden and are hoping to try and transplant a few to new garden
areas this year. I do have moles but those really dont affect my dahlias as
far as passing a inspection they are just a huge irritant in my day.
We are not really into chemicals and dont really do any fertilizers we have
large compost piles that we use to add nutrients to the soil but other than
that the plants are pretty much on there own. We have irrigation line for
most of the plants to be more efficient in watering and also try and reduce
weeds. But I would love to know how larger growers with 1000 plus plants
keep up on the weed problem? I dont really have major weeds but do have
grass that creeps in from everywhere. We have very dark fertile soil and no
matter how hard I try and stay ahead of it I always seem to lose the battle.
Everything I have read says not to mulch atleast not until the plant has
started to grow. For plants that are started in pots can you mulch right
around them? Should you still leave some area uncovered around the base and
if so how much? We are looking into different mulches to use and may try a
little of everything this year to see what we like but I would love to hear
peoples ideas.
I am also hoping to start some of my plants early I do not have a green house
but I am wondering if anyone uses the hoop houses? I usually plant my tubers
earlier than most would recommend for our area what can I say I hate waiting
:) but for the most part because it is colder the earlier tubers usually dont
develop as well as the ones planted later once it warms up. I am hoping that
maybe a few hoop house rows would be a good solution to starting a little bit
early but not losing early growth.
For those who do sell tubers how many do you usually have on hand for each
variety? I ordered late last year and found I could not find a lot of what I
wanted because everyone was sold out I ordered much earlier this year and am
still finding the same thing MANY growers are already long sold out.
I am hoping to try doing some cutting for the first time this year I have a
bunch of notes written down from a discussion on another forum about taking
cutting but one thing I would like to know is if I want to take a cutting
from a growing plant how late can you succesfully take a cutting and still
have a plant that at the end of the growing season you will end up with a
tuber? I have done cuttings on other plants in years past but it has been a
long time.
Thanks in advance for your help you can either post your reply or email me
privatley at firstname.lastname@example.com if there is anyone out there who is currently
in the dahlia buisness and would not mind me asking a few questions from time
to time I would love to get your email address.

Hi Nicki,
1. patented plants/dahlias. I can not help you with a list. I do know that one can propagate patented plants asexually as long as one pays royalties to the patent holder. this is usually done via the purchase of 'patent tags' from the patent holder or through a plant broker. each plant sold must have a patent tag.
2. AG Inspection. the inpsector will want to take a look around (make sure things are clean and sterilized, labeled and stored properly, etc). they will also be your best resource person for any problems you might encounter with pests or diseases. they will also be the one to come and watch if you need a phyto (at least the first time or two).
3. we use minimal chemicals. be sure to ask your AG Inspector if your plants will require any treatments prior to shipping.
4. check out the greenhouse forum to learn more about hoop houses.
5. we usually have a minimum of 25 to 30 of each plant on hand, but we sell a large variety of perennials. some of our selections we have hundreds on hand.
check out the professional gardener forum here, nice and helpful folks over there!
That's a Phytosanitory Certificate & is necessary if you are going to ship out of the country. Your local agriculture agent has to inspect the field during growing season for diseases & insects specific to the country you are going to ship to. Then he has to inspect the tubers before you package them up & ship them. Every over-seas order has to have it's own phyto-cert. The certificates cost around $38.00 each- plus you also have to pay for the field inspections & tests. You have to do this every year.

when reading the tale of woe that is DS accounts
Scandal that this shower are allowed to carry on. They new full well that Naibu was a fraud but provided 'air cover' as a Nomad because they wanted the fees.
They have until Friday to publish their accounts, failing which they will be kicked off AiM. Kind of funny for what was an AiM nominated adviser.
Trade this long or short with an interactive markets spread betting or CFD account.
Incredible isn't it - advising an AiM company even though they had their AiM Nomad licence taken away and their own shares suspended because they breached the AiM rules and appeared unable to calculate their own capital requirements.
It's bucket shops like DS which have brought AiM into disrepute
We are still doing business then....
Stellar Diamonds plc, the AIM quoted (AIM: STEL) diamond mining and exploration company focused on West Africa, announces that the Company has raised approximately £1 million through the issue of 88,362,066 new ordinary shares of 1p each (the "New Ordinary Shares") at 1.16p per share ("Issue Price") to directors, existing private shareholders and new institutional investors (the "Fundraising"). The Fundraising has been conducted in conjunction with Daniel Stewart & Company plc.

Obviously Ive been a bearis about DS for some time and obviously Ive been right. But its not the only share Ive posted bearish comments about on Interactive Investor during 2014, so at the end of the year its right to take a quick stock take and see how all of those views - right and wrong - have stacked up. A bit like a poor mans Simon Thompson. But with a far better record than him.
I was already bearish about three shares and continued to be so throughout the year: Polo, Daniel Stewart and Colt. Polo is down 79% this year, Daniel Stewart is bust in all but name and with the shares suspended I count that as a 100% fall and Colt is the one about which I was (very slightly) wrong as they are up 2% this year, underperforming the market and its sector but still up. And still a long term dog in my view.
Then there are six other shares about which I expressed bearish views for the first time this year. Lets start with RBS. Ive been bullish since early 2009 when I first bought in and it has been a very profitable investment for me. But I turned cautious at the start of the year and advised selling in January with the shares at 360p saying I suspect the shares are in for a very rough ride over the next few months. I was sort of right the shares then fell to 296p (down 18%) - but Im happy to call this a wrong call as they have subsequently rallied quite strongly and are now 393p, up 9% since that sell recommendation.
For the other five, things have been a lot less bright with every one of them tanking. On 27 February I suggest AO World was worth shorting (as I had just done myself) at the price then of 380p and the shares subsequently fell to 149.6p, down 61%. They have since rallied but are still 25% lower than when I suggested they would make a good short.
In April I said Serco was effectively bust and the shares have since fallen 53%.
In June I said Naibu was not a real investment and the shares then collapsed by 84%.
In August I recommended investors sell out of Monitise (a share I had bought and sold at a decent profit) and they are down 42% since I made that call.
And finally DX the logistics group. Not a strong call from me but I thought best avoided at the IC buy price of 120p and even at 105p when I posted in October and now at 87p, they are down 17%.
If you take a straight average of each of those calls (from the date made to closing prices on 29 December and counting AO World as down just 25%) then my average bear call is 43% lower than when I suggested people avoid, sell or short and seven out of nine are down, each by 17% or more. If you annualise the results theyre down by an average of 68%.
Of course, this could just be random but the 2014 record suggests (and last year was similar) some people really can spot a dog a mile away.
Nice to see that despite all of it financial woes Daniel Stewart provides a loan of £250,000 to Peter Shea. For 30 years. Oh and it's interest free as well.
Nice work if you can get it.
It has gone bust effectively. Client base in decline and sector doing not so well.

It's taking them a long time to grub together what is a pathetically small amount of money (for an AiM listed company). Rumour had it that one of the board was seen outside the offices with one of the juniors slumped on the pavement pretending to be a rag doll and the director as asking for "£5 for the Guy".
Doubt they can issue at much if any premium to price when shares suspended. Existing shareholders will be heavily diluted (unless they buy more shares). There's your 'no brainer' for you.
Zombie business.
From a quick read only
Directors are of the opinion that additional capital of up to approximately £1,500,000 will more than be sufficient to resolve the regulatory capital shortfall.
First Resolution (authority to issue shares)
Director to issue and allot up to a further 380,000,000 new Ordinary Shares
It should further be noted that a company may not, under UK company law, issue new shares for a price below the par value of shares. The Ordinary Shares have a par value of 0.25p, and therefore any new Ordinary Shares must be issued, or subscribed for, at a value per Ordinary Shares of 0.25p or higher.
So no plans to change the nominal value of shares and issue < 0.25p
£1.5m divided by 380,000,000 shares = 0.39 p / share issue
But watch for any future warrants at discount
Am I right here?
Trade this long or short with an interactive markets spread betting or CFD account.
Small Caps and some of the 800 clients they have will now migrate. No future here IMO. Sell if and when you can.
Can't as we are suspended.
There is more to this than meets the eye. Can't imagine that the co didn't know about the need for regulatory surplus and the accounting deadline. So it begs the question why they couldn't sort it out before hand?
Which probably means that any solution will be painful for share holders.

"Daniel Stewart is in discussions with certain parties in order to strengthen the Company's balance sheet"
Time for old bent knobi to step up with a further £2k equity injection. After all, it's a "no brainer" investment opportunity.
When it comes to arrogance I bow before you. Afterall, based on your MBA (when I would guess you spent no more than a week or so on accounting) you told me I didn't know how to read a set of accounts.
Given what I do for a living and have done for some years, this was rather amusing.
Maybe next time be more willing to listen to others who might just know a little more than you.
Good luck with the future.
Orchard ... In a market there is no such thing as perfect information .. see Kotler et al ... that is why prices fluctuate and people make money .. also economically speaking it is a closed system .. with new money being printed (which drives inflation) .. so you are quite right .. if I lose someone gains .. in the Bible they call it Greed !! ... But that is the system we live with .. Yes it would appear you were right and I was wrong .. but that's how markets work when someone sells .. they believe a share is going down .. when the other party buys .. they believe its going up (Trading book 101) .. otherwise a trade would not take place .. so yes .. it would appear I was wrong and you were right (in this case) ... but I still think we need to wait for the outcome from this .. I am glad you feel vindicated .. I only had a modest investment here based on the level of risk ... and your arrogance shines through your posts as usual, as you seem fixated on being "right" .. if you have never lost money on the Stock Market, you should feel very privileged .. even Warren Buffett cannot claim that !!

Might have been good if you had at least found it in yourself to admit I might have been right and to acknowledge having posted messages suggesting that buying shares was "a no brainer".
Maybe I should say I'm sorry if you have lost money but I'm not: first because it is not as if you weren't adequately warned but you assumed you knew better; second because the stock market is here partly to recycle wealth from those less deserving to those who will use it more productively.
Nope ... still here been managing my other shares ... watching some paint dry ... Well ... I have to say .. it looks pretty bad .. and yes I am down the tubes too ... In my defense I did say it was a "punt" and not to "bet the farm on it" .. but looks Like Dan may have surpassed themselves in terms of underwhelming performance yet again !! .. I am gonna wait and see .. somewhere (last night) I read Peter Shea had just bought another large tranche of shares .. but I can't the find the RNS again ?? ... Anyway, short of a takeover / buy-out I cannot see where this is going guys (except down) .. but its not over till the Fat Lady sings I guess .... ??

He's gone very quiet hasn't he? Maybe risk management wasn't covered in his MBA course
They have tried to raise some finance and failed
- because trading is marginal and the future not assured.
Previous funders have been bitten before.
In the absence of new funds then the auditors have not been able to sign off the accounts as a going concern,
We are in intensive care. If someone does puff some life into us it will be at a high dilutive cost
Someone said : buy more its a no brainer?
Really? But do note the auditors "going concern" note for ye 31 3 2013 posted below.
Since then on the positive , head count has been reduced and £1m / yr taken off running costs
on the negative the situation deteriorated (write offs, poss business uncertainty) post results
Interim's to 30 Sept 13 show continuing losses and cash balance halved to £488k.
....little progress in market and trading conditions
...Since the end of the period under review we have seen some slight improvement in overall trading conditions. Both October and November were close to breakeven and December will return a small profit.
Trading update on 9 July
The year to 31st March 2014* will show a further loss although we anticipate a substantial improvement over last year.
(which in 2013 was Reported loss after tax and exceptional items of £3.1 million)
exceptionals appears to be £356k. only.
I have decided not to buy more as DAN appears to be in intensive care. Cash balances will have fallen further and are at critical levels , and whilst they have cut overheads - whether or not they make it depends upon a lumpy business in a not too certain climate.
Had the trading statement been more positive ie that they had trimmed the decline, were cash flow positive and visibility was good - then I would have bought.
I fear that their business will have been difficult because investors fear their situation. They need cash to provide a bushiness re-assurance.
As it is, sadly, I fear the worst.
One for gamblers only?
ye 31 March 13
Auditors RE EMPHASIZE going concern basis (Lets see what they say in September for ye March 14 yr results - my guess is that they need to raise at least £1m.)
Emphasis of matter - Going concern
In forming our opinion on the financial statements, which is not modified, we have considered the adequacy of the disclosure made in note 1 to the financial statements concerning the group's ability to continue as a going concern. The company incurred a net loss of £3,138,294 during the year ended 31 March 2013 and subsequent to the year-end incurred further losses. The going concern status of the group is dependent on the group being able to substantially achieve management's forecast of income to be generated or the raising of funds in the immediate to short term.
These conditions, along with the other matters explained in note 1 to the financial statements, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include the adjustments that would result if the company was unable to continue as a going concern.

Wot no accounts!Today is officially the last day for DAN to file audited accounts for year to 31/03/2014.
Ex public school boys often enjoy a whip round;but perhaps BVI incorporated Jade Global Investments Ltd will ride to the rescue again,they have previously purchased shares at a premium.Run by old Etonian former broker James Stratton a member of The Worshipful Girdlers Company(Leather belt makers) & his fellow director Hugo Wray.James & Hugo live in The Philippines where Hugo appears also to manage a biker bar "The Handlebar Club".Hui Wu & Jia Lu are also directors of Jade which specialise apparently in floating Asian companies and may be responsible for Jades website unless James' English has gone off the boil since he left UK!
They had a whip round amongst the staff in the past in order to pay the bills, so perhaps they will do that again. To their credit they have kept going though almost bankrupt many times. Against that we have just gone through a major bull run with record IPO numbers and DS has continued to tank, so it's unlikely to get much better than now.

Interesting to see how DAN will continue in business;they had only about £650k in net tangible assets in Sept 2013 and continue to make losses......
I assume you refer to Naibu Global, another DS special and a car crash which was obviously about to happen.
Also note one which was ramped by Simon Thompson in the IC who was keen people buy at 58p and reiterated his view just last month at 45p (shares now 23p). Just like Polo, which he kept ramping until eventually even he had to recognise gravity and turned tail on the shares.
Let's also not forget that DS was broker to Vyke, which I said at the time (on this site) was a fraud - I even wrote to the AiM team and invited them to investigate. When the shares were at something like 80p the DS analyst had a target of £5.60. Laughable. I have a good friend who is on the board of DS and when I rang him and said "this one will blow up in your face" he said "Yes, I know Mr X [a prominent Vyke director] is a crook". But DS remained broker and NOMAD to the company until it went down in flames after many dodgy and to this day unexplained deals.

Something to do with dodgy AIM floats from China.Should have stuck with the cold turkey rather than having a binge on reheated takeaways from 1 star establishments.
But you said your average price gave a gain of 56% (ignoring the fact that unless you have reinvented the rules of investing, you can't sell at the mid price, a point which still seems to confuse you). So if you bought at 1.3p as you say you did how do you calculate an average from just one trade? Did they not do maths on the MBA course?
You need to spend some time learning how to think straight.
Orchard ... why do you hate people who have worked hard to get a degree and then a post graduate MBA so much ??? ... Is there some INADEQUACY thing going on here ?? .. Yes I accept your challenge ... as 0.004 / 0.00255 (as per the previously supplied contact note) is 1.568627451 ... or 56.86% gain QED ... The 56% came from the ii dashboard as previously mentioned ... So now I am gonna stick you on IGNORE .. as you have nothing you can give me that I want ... and you're certainly not listening the other way around .. Feel free to donate to Cancer research if you want .. as a Cancer suffer twice myself .. I think they are a really well while cause .. Take care ... Ben ..

I see you attended that MBA class "always have the last word even if you're wrong"
My offer still stand- but I'll make it even easier. If you can produce contract notes to show the claimed 56% gain on DAN against the then 0.4p mid, (which includes your trade at 1.3p) I will donate £25 to he charity of your choice provided that if you don't or you donate £25 to MAP.
Do you want to take the challenge or not? Either way if you do a good cause gets £25 so are you able to back up your claims or are you full of wind?
Orchard ... I knew you would back out ... I accepted your wager by posting the note ... the 56% was the dash-board figure.. which of course goes up and down and is calculated on the "mid-point" (which I stated quite clearly) which does not include commission either ... Everyone here can see you now for what you are .. in your own words "full of BS" .. too tight to give a tenner to Cancer Research ... Tut Tut . .. (no morals) You are wasting my time and everyone else's on here (and you've lost all credibility) ... we all know by your actions who and what you are ... :-(

I said "I'll even offer a little wager for charity if you're up for that." but you didn't accept m offer. Which was if you can produce contract notes to show the claimed 56% gain on DAN I would donate £25 tot he charity of your choice provided that if you didn't or couldn't you'd donate £25 to MAP.
I think you have to accept you're judged here by what you post here, not by other things you might or might not have done or said and the plain truth is that since you strongly recommended people buy this share, declared it a "no brainer" and said "easy money to be made" - here we go - IT HAS GONE DOWN. Down. A lot. I know you find it impossible to ever admit you were wrong but that doesn't change the facts.
Have a nice life.
So enjoy your massive £200 paper profit
Orchard ... one last thought from me ... then I must get on with my life ... I have been in and out of Dan for a while ... I move my money around where it will make the most profit ... If DAN is in the doldrums and I suspect it won't be moving any time soon, I move the money to a share I think is about to go up ... I lost money on DAN big time in around 2003 (I think) ... When I knew nothing and was very naive about shares ... I have other notes with similar prices, but I can't be bothered to go back through them all for such a petty discussion ... Sometimes I swing trade ... some times I invest long ... I am in the Blue on DAN and am awaiting the results end September ... I believe they will turn the company around from the evidence I see ... But I am not heavily invested .. but if I double my money I will be a happy chap ... Make sure you fill in a form for Cancer Research so they can claim the tax back ... GLA ... Ben .....
Well done and I'm very happy to apologise.
I still don't think it stacks to your claims though. Yesterday you said you couldn't remember how many shares you had bought or when then you produce a contract note from just 10 days ago.
And if you invested a similar amount in the past at 1.3p, then there's no way you have an average purchase price of 0.26p unless you have bought many, many more shares at prices at which DS has never traded.
And your gain on the shares for which you produced the note, if sold today is actually below 28% and not the 56% you claim.
But all the same a profit is a profit and if someone can have made a profit from catching this falling knife they've done well. But saying "I think it could go up a lot" is not an investment case it's just a punt. You shouldn't confuse the two.

Calling someone a liar is a bit strong for a BB Orchard !!!
£10 to Cancer Research .. but only if you can afford it mate .... ;-)
I bet I can read a set of accounts better than you but leaving that aside, I'll give you an even better bet.
I think you're lying. But you can prove me wrong. Post one of the contract notes where you bought shares in DS, below the current bid price of 0.33p (i.e. so as to give you a paper profit) and I will admit I'm wrong and apologise.
I'll even offer a little wager for charity if you're up for that.
You up for that or just full of wind?

Red Wines
2011 Madrigal
Art Den Hoed, Upland, Coyote Canyon Vineyards
Columbia Valley
62% Mourvedre, 24% Grenache, 14% Syrah
Opens with aromas of candied red cherry and pomegranate with notes of sage and game. The palate shows juicy red fruit, blackberry and crushed fresh herbs. Tannins are moderate and silky followed by a lovely, soft cherry finish. Customers call this wine "magical" !
Bottled April 2013 - 506 cases
2011 Intrigue
40% Cabernet, 27% Syrah, 19% Malbec, 14% Carmenere
Opens with aromas of blackberry jam, cassis and cherry along with some black olive and anise. Tasting reveals more cherry with a bit of wood and vanilla/chocolate swirl. Finishes long with just a touch of spice mixed with black cherry. Fruit forward and complex with smooth tannins, this is a wine for drinking
now or holding.
Bottled May 2013 - Made 439 cases
2011 Petite Sirah
Art Den Hoed Vineyard
Yakima Valley
100% Petite Sirah
This wine invites you in with aromas of raspberry jam, sweet dough and minty cocoa, then seduces your tongue with a luscious velvety feel that is redolent with more raspberry, tart red fruit, black currants, white pepper and firm tannins that are big, but well balanced with a lingering finish of spiced red plums.
Bottled April 2013 - 148 cases
2012 Serenade
40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 22% Syrah, 3% Carménère
A silken and exuberant medium bodied wine with a pronounced nose of baked pie cherries, red licorice, vanilla and blackberry bramble.Light and clean on the palate, integrated tannins balance the tart cherry flavors and slightly spicy cinnamon and plummy notes.The fruit is clear and persistent on the very long finish of blackberry and spice.
Bottled March 2014 - 2095 cases
2012 Merlot
Cordon Grove Vineyard
Columbia Valley
90% Merlot, 10% Syrah
This wine opens with a hint of floral perfume along with inviting scents of chocolate, caramel, rainier cherry, blueberry and dark plum, some dried orange peel and a touch of bronze fennel. It has a lush and smooth mouthfeel with very finely integrated tannins and lots of cherry cola, concentrated blueberry, cocoa, bramble and a touch of allspice. An uplifting finish of deep red spicy fruit begs the question - is there more?
Bottled August 2014 - 99 cases
2012 Malbec
Spofford Station Vineyard
Walla Walla Valley
97% Malbec, 3% Petit Verdot
Plum, dusty strawberry, and blackberry along with sweet vanilla and chocolate aromas entice the nose with this voluptuous wine. The palate plays out with more not-quite-ripe blackberry and dark plum but also red currant and a tart cherry zing of acidity. Fine grained tannins here and that dusty dark quality that finishes with a little sweet spice...mmm...
Bottled August 2014 - 102 cases
2012 Cadenza
50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 25% Carménère
On the nose there's blackberry, strawberry, spice, chocolate, earth and straw. On the palate it's all dark berry along with both red and black licorice. But also a fresh and savory aspect touched with thyme and oregano. Very well balanced with soft but definite tannins that show up with the finish of blackberry touched with orange.
Bottled September 2014 - 236 cases
2012 Carménère
100% Carménère
A nose of black cherry, sweet oak, pipe tobacco, vegetative earth, mint and a touch of pickled jalapeno that leads to a mouthful of more ripe dark berries, black currant, cocoa, and bell pepper. It all combines with a velvety mouthfeel, subdued tannins and a lusciously long finish. A fabulously deep rich wine.
Bottled September 2014 - Made 56 cases
2011 Oscuro
Verhey Vineyard, Art Den Hoed Vineyard
Columbia Valley
50% Malbec, 50% Petite Sirah
A dark, delicious and unique blend that starts with an herbal raspberry nose with a hint of black pepper, black cherry and cocoa powder. It is soft and rich on the palate with black plum, more dark cherry, raspberry and spice. A long finish of raspberry truffle with plenty of structure to ensure this wine will age well.

100% Syrah
Sleek, complex, and beautifully balanced, the nose evokes black fruit, oregano, dried roses, and a whiff of black olive. Tasting suggests black currant and hints of herbs on the approach opening to a touch of spice cake, fresh nutmeg and black raspberry. Has a lovely black plummy, allspice, white peppery finish with nicely integrated tannins. More please.

"Customer Quote"
"My daughter purchased two cases of your red wine, 2003, 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, for my 70th birthday party in 2006. I am living proof that after eight years the wine is aging much better than I am! We consumed the first case in 2006, and have celebrated each birthday since with a bottle, three bottles left, and each year they get better, so which one of us is aging better? The wine or yours truly?"
