Here is a preview of how the car sits now, summer 2012. I have about 95% of
the bodywork done and have coated everything with 2 layers of black epoxy
primer. Lots more tune up has yielded a good running late model classic VW
beetle. As you can see I have a bunch of work left to do on the interior,
but all the gauges and lighting function. To beef everything up on the
3SGTE engine I had to utilize an aftermarket ECU, I chose the Vi-Pec. The
last part of the video shows what this setup can do. She's fast...

I finally got around to shooting some real-time video as the cars sits
today. As you can tell there are many videos between the youtube footage
and now, I will try and hasten their delivery. The white floppy things late
in the vid are a couple of Tie-Wraps subbing for windshield wipers. Going
fast sure creates a lot of wind noise.

132777 / 1973 Volkswagen Super Beetle
For more information on this vehicle visit http://tinyurl.com/caj7rvk
This incredibly cool 1973 Super Beetle is the perfect car for a
budget-minded collector or someone who is new to the hobby.
Sporting a vivid coat of brilliant blue paint, this fully sorted and
completely road ready '73 Super Beetle is fresh out of a ground up
restoration which likely cost twice as much as we're asking for it. The
restorers began by stripping the car down to its bare floor pan and fully
prepping and rebuilding the body. Once the body was aligned to better than
factory standards, it was disassembled and evenly covered in two-stage
basecoat/clearcoat paint. The end result is a very clean, well-aligned bug
with a smooth finish and outstanding appearance that will provide years of
worry-free fun.
Powering this sharp '73 Super Beetle is the cars original dual port 1600 cc
air cooled, flat four cylinder, which upon its introduction in 1971 made a
bristling 50 horsepower. Completely
rebuilt during the cars restoration, it runs beautifully with that famous
and distinctive VW sound, and will likely putter along forever with a
minimum of fussing and tuning. At the top of the engine, a mirror-like air
cleaner feeds air to a new Bocar one barrel carburetor. To the left of that
carburetor, a Bosch coil supplies a traditional points distributor that's
equipped with Bosch plug wires. And to the right of that carburetor, a
chrome generator sits above a body-matched oil filler tube and chrome
dipstick. At the back of the engine, a Claudes Buggies ignition system is
affixed to the cars blue firewall, and in front of the engine, a new belt
snakes around blue Scat pulleys and an aluminum Scat tensioner. Exhaust is handled by fresh VW branded headers;
and, like the rest of the car, the entire engine bay has been restored to
show quality standards.
Take one look underneath this VW and you'll see just how much work went
into its complete, nut and bolt restoration. Both the front and rear
suspensions have obviously been completely rebuilt and feature fresh
bushings, fresh shocks and an aftermarket anti-sway bar. At the front of
the car, new disc brakes are equipped with fresh hardware and new pads, and
at the back of the car, rebuilt drum brakes are outfitted with fresh hoses.
Power flows from the motor into a 4-speed manual transmission which turns
four chrome EMPI eight spoke wheels that are wrapped in 175R15 Nanking
front and 205/75R15 Republic Ensign rear radials. The bottom of this Beetle
is spotless and looks spectacular with all-new stainless hardware holding
together straight and solid floors which display a great looking coat of
gloss black paint.
Pop open the door and you'll find a completely custom blue LED lit interior
which features a $2K sound system and is the perfect spot to spend the
afternoon cruising. The driver and front passenger enjoy firm Procar by
Scat buckets, rear occupants ride on a custom covered bench and all
passengers are secured with new, correct lap belts. At the front of the
car, a new for 1973 padded dash shows no warping or fading and, with the
exception of an MP3 compatible Alpine CD player, features the same
minimalist readouts and accessories found in all Beetles. Below the seats,
brand new black carpet lies under custom kick panels that have been
outfitted with large Infinity Reference speakers and a chrome EMPI trigger
shifter. At the sides of the seats, completely painted door jams and window
frames contrast well to custom two-tone door panels which feature new
armrests, billet window cranks and billet lock knobs. Above the seats a
thick and tight custom headliner stretches from door to door and leads the
eye to a reworked package tray which has been professionally upholstered
and houses two more massive Infinity Reference speakers. In front of the
driver, a familiar Grant GT steering wheel makes good use of the cars
reduced turning radius, and in front of the cockpit, a spacious, by Beetle
standards, fully restored front hatch holds a horizontal spare tire.
If you're looking for fun, practical transportation, this fully sorted
Super Beetle looks awesome and is ready to go. Call, click or visit

When Peter Hanson made an ace on the 222-yard par-3 second hole at Congressional on Saturday, he wasn't the only one celebrating.
Thanks to Hanson and a promotion by the title sponsor to this week's Quicken Loans National at Congressional, Arline Deacon is also a very happy woman. Because of the ace, Quicken Loans will be paying for her mortgage for an entire year.
Hanson struggled the rest of the day, finishing the round at plus-4 to end the day in a tie for 41st, but his ace on the second hole was nothing short of impressive. And even if he didn't play stellar golf, he was, as he put it, "glad to make someone happy." He even signed a ball for her to commemorate the moment:

Arline Deacon might not be the only one to benefit from an ace this year, either. The promotion runs through the rest of the PGA Tour season.

President Obama Forgoes Sanctions over Iceland Whaling
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Media Contact
In This Press Release
In response to President Obama's decision to not impose economic sanctions against Iceland for illegal whaling operations and international trade of whale meat, World Wildlife Fund (WWF) issued the following statement from Leigh Henry, senior policy advisor for wildlife conservation:
"President Obama has missed an important opportunity to demonstrate his willingness to enforce international agreements on wildlife trade and halt Iceland's continued killing of endangered fin whales. This is the third time the U.S. government has declared Iceland in violation of such agreements and failed to hold them accountable. Given the administration's leadership on combatting wildlife crime, WWF had hoped President Obama would take decisive action to end Iceland's illegal whaling by imposing targeted economic sanctions. We are disappointed by today's announcement.
"Three years ago, the president said he would consider strong action if Iceland resumed its hunt of fin whales. The hunt resumed, and – in the absence of such action – the 2014 whaling season has now begun. Iceland once again plans to hunt this endangered species, which undermines international efforts to conserve them.
"When countries such as the United States decline to enforce international agreements on commercial whaling and wildlife trade, the effectiveness of those agreements is significantly weakened. In light of the president's recent Executive Order and the new U.S. government strategy on combatting wildlife trafficking, we encourage the Administration to take strong steps to ensure that these agreements have teeth."

About this location
The Bohemia region
Prague is the capital city in the Czech Republic, a Central Eastern European country. Praha, as Prague is known locally, is nestled in Bohemia, a region of the Czech Republic just west of its center. Widely considered to be one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, Prague is among the most visited cities on the continent.
Prague is home to a number of famous cultural attractions, many of which survived the violence and destruction of 20th century Europe. Main attractions include the Prague Castle, the Charles Bridge, Old Town Square, the Jewish Quarter, the Lennon Wall, and Pet?ín hill.
The city of Prague has borderline oceanic climate. The winters are relatively cold with very little sunshine. Snow cover can be common between mid-November to late March. Summers usually bring fine sunny days with highs being around 25 degrees. Nights can be quite cool even in summer, though.
Our accommodations are within a very short walking distance from the Old Town Square where you can see the Memorial Statue of John Huss and the Astronomical Clock dating from the 15th century located in the tower of Old Town Hall. There are also the noteable Kinsky Palace, now home of the National Gallery, the St. Nicolas Cathedral, and Tyn Cathedral to peruse while taking in the sights.
Not only are we steps away from these famous historic sites, but we are also very near several locally owned ammenities that make your stay feel more like home. There are bars and pubs, clubs and gyms, a mini-market and hair dresser, outdoor tennis court and a tatoo parlor on the very streets where you enter our building to your accommodations.
For easy access to public transit, you can walk 5-10 minutes to the Green Line metro station Staromestska or the Yellow Line stations Namesti Republiky or Mustek. At Namesti Republiky and Staromestska both, you can also catch trams.

"Great location, so-so accommodations"
So the good news is that this place is right by the clock tower in the downtown square. The rest if kind of bad news.
The front desk is within what looks like a typical tourist shop and the room is a bit of a walk. The staff are a bit short but got the job done. One thing of note is that you have to pick out a check out time and tell them exactly when you intend to leave. They don't stay at the front desk overnight, so if you need anything, your kind of on your own. They come and meet you in the morning to get the keys. The unit I picked also had a bathroom in the hall, toilet is a bit hard to use since its crammed in a small space. The entrance to the room is in an alley, which was a bit dark at night.
All and all, I won't stay again, the price was too close to the other local hotels that had much more to offer and both the walk to the room at night and the bathroom situation was enough to make it a one time adventure...
we are glad that you have stayed in our apartment during your one-night stay in Prague. What does not make us happy is the fact that you were not fully satisfied.
But we have to say that your evaluation is not objective in many aspects. We are not a hotel. We offer an accommodation in private apartments, plus walking tours, excursions, tickets to cultural events and more, so reception for apartments is in the Tourist information office at the same building on the ground floor where the apartments are. Definitely it is not far! We are open 10:00-21:00 and this information is clearly mentioned in our booking conditions (so it should not have been a surprise to you). Whoever is arriving later than 21:00 needs to inform us in advance, what you had not done. Check out time is at 11:00; only whoever needs to check out early (before 10:00) needs to let us know so we can have someone at the desk earlier than 10:00 to pick up the keys. As far as we remembered you asked to be woken up at 10:00. When we did so we found you sleeping and you did not even emptied the apartment at the requested check out time and you were there till midday! Our cleaning service found the double bed, you slept in, completely soaked up with water. We had to replace the mattress for next guests arriving on that day.
We sell this particular apartment as a low cost accommodation, for young travelers with not so high demands on accommodation (and the price corresponds to it). The entire apartment in the city centre for four people at EUR 55 per night is unbeatable price in Prague! Our apartment is not large, but it is nice with newly renovated bathroom. You stayed in our apartment in August which is the peak season. A single bed in a dormitory in a hostel with shared bathroom costs around EUR 20.
We would recommend you for the next time to read the description of the accommodation carefully to avoid dissatisfaction with it.

"Right in the heart of Old Town Prague"
The apartment is located in the very centre of Old Town Prague, only about 3 min walk from the Old Town Square. It is furnished with beds for 4 persons, a small kitchen area and a small table with only 2 chairs. The only inconvenient thing is that the bath with shower is located outside the apartment in the entrance hall of the building.

Polite staff.

"Review of Old Town Apt Prague"
The room was sufficient. After all, all we did was sleep there. The beds were comfortable. But the bathroom down the hall was a little (just a little) inconvenient. Also, the room needs a heater. … More

Curiosity leads Ben Sweeney from our Charing Cross Road branch to wonder how words we use so widely and unthinkingly in our pursuit of reading pleasure came to the English language.
The contents of books are normally fantastic (even the badly written books), quite literally. Most books are designed to take you somewhere else. Even the most boring of academic books are trying to remove you to a different place.
Books are where new leaves are turned and budding interests can first be satisfied. Often I see a book as its potential to be somewhere else, I forget it is first and foremost heavily reconstituted wood, bound with glue and thread, and jacketed in more wood. Familiarity begets forgetfulness.
Then I pick up a box of books that tugs me forward with its weight, and I have to remind myself that the reason it's so heavy is that it is almost exclusively tree. This is not really a surprise; it's just one of those truths I take for granted and casually forget, like the lion on the two pence piece.
Just as time and exposure casually mask the nature of a book, so time and exposure mask the original usage of the word 'book'. Before it's specialisation to mean a selection of bound papers in a cover, the word 'book' used to refer to any written document. The Tom, Dick or Harry of written materials.
It comes from the same place as 'beech', probably because when Old English was still being used people were still carving words in beech trees: 'Ben wære hér'
In many languages the word for 'leaf' is the same word for 'page' or 'paper'. 'Page' doesn't mean 'leaf' though ('paper' on the other hand is fairly obviously connected to 'papyrus'). No, 'page' made it's way into English via French and Latin from the Proto-Indo-European root 'pag-', 'to fix', as in 'join', not 'mend'. But the connection's still there in English, we still take a leaf out of someone else's book and read 'leaflets'.
Earlier I was browsing the science fiction section, which is where all this interest in book related etymology started, trying to find another doorstop to lose myself in, when I found myself, as I'm wont to do, wondering where that word came from. Browse: I can think of many words that sound similar (brow, brown, peruse) and many phrasal synonyms (look through, check out, thumb through, etc.), but no synonym that means the same thing. Sometimes this feels quite rare in English with its numerous Latin/Germanic pairings.
And then a word like 'browse' comes along and deals with this issue by making the journey from Proto-Germanic, through French and into English.
Probably, it comes from the Proto-Germanic word 'brustjan', which meant 'to bud', and later from Old French 'brost' which is a word for a freshly sprung shoot (add -er and it becomes the verb 'to bud').
Which I think adds a rather pleasant dimension to the idea of 'leafing through' a book: books are where new leaves are turned and budding interests can first be satisfied.

Roundball Chatter
Each week I'll talk about the sport I love, college basketball:
• Every time I think about Robbie Hummel, I feel miserable because he is such a great kid who deserves better. His torn ACL really changes the Boilermakers' forecast! I dropped them from the top three to No. 15 in my preseason rankings. Coach Matt Painter still has E'Twaun Moore and JaJuan Johnson leading the way, however.
• The Maui Invitational in 2011 will expand from eight to 12 teams with the addition of four Division I institutions. The total number of tournament games will also expand from 12 games currently played on the island of Maui to a total of 23 games, which include 11 games played on the U.S. mainland. The field of teams already announced for 2011 is impressive. Duke, Kansas, Georgetown, Memphis, UCLA, Tennessee and Michigan are all slated to go to Hawaii.
• New St. John's coach Steve Lavin made a great move by adding former Purdue coach Gene Keady on his staff in an advisory role. Keady has been a mentor for Lavin and it is great to have experience at your fingertips. Lavin has already had an impact on the Red Storm, signing three top-50 recruits for next season. Meanwhile, Lavin received a blow when senior forward Justin Burrell suffered a broken bone in his left hand. He will miss 4-5 weeks.
• Virginia coach Tony Bennett's team also suffered a blow when junior guard Sammy Zeglinski had surgery to repair cartilage in his left knee. Zeglinski is expected to miss up to eight weeks. He averaged almost nine points per game and was a threat from three-point rnage.
• There has been consideration for changing the recruiting process in college hoops. One thought is to eliminate the July recruiting period beginning in 2012. A future vote will determine that. My friends, I am sure that a number of coaches will be disappointed with that possibility. This change could be major in the future, stay tuned.
• Temple was picked as the preseason favorite to win the A-10 again. Fran Dunphy has done a super job there and he deserves more national publicity.

Bipartisan Policy Center Encouraged by Initial List of Policy Recommendations from Republican Leadership
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Ashley Berrang
(202) 637-1456
Washington, D.C. - Jason Grumet, president of the Bipartisan Policy Center, issued the following statement commenting on the letter sent by Republican leadership in the House of Representatives to the president, following his State of the Union address, expressing optimism in addressing policy areas where bipartisanship can be reached:
"Republican leadership in the House should be commended for taking the president at his word and following through with a list of concrete policy recommendations where Republicans and Democrats can work together. It is promising to see both parties put forth real solutions and policy recommendations with the hopes of reaching agreement across the aisle.
"The president opened the door to finding common ground in his speech. He should take this offer at face value and continue that process.
"While sharing similar goals, House Republicans understandably have a very different vision on how to achieve policy compared to their Democratic counterparts. However, it is encouraging to see our political leaders use this as an opportunity to make real progress. These moves toward bipartisanship are encouraging and can make 2014 a year of action."

Gorgetop Gardens
I bought $56 worth of perennials at Gorgetop back in May: 5 achilleas, 5 aconitums and 5 foxgloves. They didn't ship me any of the plants that I ordered. Because I'd never ordered these plants before, I didn't know it at the time, when the bare roots arrived. I only know now that the plants are blooming and they're not looking like what they're supposed to. I'm contacting the firm to ask for my money back. I'll let you know how it goes.
I've gotten burned once too often (not at this nursery) by people who know what plants I want better than I do. I posted about it on another forum when someone had substituted plants without asking if it was okay, and somebody said it would be like a store saying that didn't have shoes in your size, but they would sell you ones three or four sizes bigger and a different color. I'm not sure when nurseries do that if they think they know better than we do, or if they just have extras they want to get rid of, but in these days of the internet would it be so hard to send an email and ask if subs would be okay? Hope you get it fixed to your satisfaction.

I would say that the majority of the movies I see and enjoy I am completely unaware of the names of the producers, directors, writers, catering service and in some cases the names of the non-star actors involved.
ST Eleven popularize the idea and name Star Trek, another series would not have to be closely tied to it. Just adhere to general themes.

Earnings growth for U.S. companies is becoming scarcer. One way for stock investors to find more of it—along with promising stocks—is to identify companies whose true earnings power is temporarily obscured by accounting quirks.
Wall Street analysts predict that earnings during the current quarter will rise just 3% from a year ago. Less than three months ago, they said 10%. The slowdown makes sense. Revenues have all but stalled, rising just 1% last quarter, and profit margins already are near all-time highs, so easy opportunities for earnings growth through cost-cutting are gone.
To find hidden potential for higher earnings, compare earnings with another measure of prosperity called free cash flow. That's the real money companies pocket each quarter after their spending. Earnings, on the other hand, are a repackaging of the numbers to reflect how much companies would make if, among other things, their costs always corresponded neatly with the resulting revenues in the same time periods (what accountants call the "matching principle").
Over long time periods free cash flow and earnings should tell similar stories, but in the short run they can vary sharply for a long list of reasons, and investors should watch these differences. Research by University of California, Berkeley accounting professor Richard Sloan and others has shown that, when a company's earnings greatly exceed its free cash flow, it's more likely than not to produce disappointing earnings growth and stock returns. But when free cash flow greatly exceeds earnings, it could be a promising sign.

U.S.: Nasdaq USD124.43 -1.94 -1.5351744876157316% /Date(1427835600323-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 40410221 AFTER HOURS USD124.53 0.0999999999999943 0.08036647110825364% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1680332 P/E Ratio 16.657295850066934 Market Cap 736073426681.742 Dividend Yield 1.5108896568351684% Rev. per Employee 2153110 More quote details and news » (ticker: AAPL). A customer who shows up at one of its stores and pays cash for a phone may consider the transaction over in 15 minutes. But until 2009, regulators considered that the start of a multi-year relationship, whereby Apple promised to supply not just a phone but also continuing software enhancements. So the company could book phone sales only gradually. Then the rule changed, and Apple's fiscal 2009 revenue, originally reported as $5.7 billion, was restated as $8.2 billion. Apple would have made just as much money without the accounting change, but investors watching earnings wouldn't have seen it as quickly.
Sometimes a big difference between free cash flow and earnings can help explain a stock price that otherwise seems nonsensical. For example, Red Hat RHT -1.2257139131568653% Red Hat Inc. U.S.: NYSE USD75.75 -0.94 -1.2257139131568653% /Date(1427835759214-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1841216 AFTER HOURS USD75.88 0.129999999999995 0.1716171617161716% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 32400 P/E Ratio 79.73684210526316 Market Cap 14066096282.904 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 284046 More quote details and news » (RHT) recently traded at 40 times next year's earnings estimate, which is around triple the price of the typical U.S. company. But it's more of a subscription-services company than a simple software seller, so the company often collects cash up front for new business but books revenue a little bit at a time. That makes its free cash flow a leading indicator of its earnings, says RBC Capital Markets analyst Matthew Hedberg. The stock goes for 23 times next year's free cash flow forecast—still pricey, but not quite ludicrous.
FOR THE FOUR COMPANIES LISTED in our table below, a peek at free cash flows makes the ones with higher price/earnings ratios look like good deals and the ones with lower ones look like steals.

That results in earnings that understate the company's growth and overstate its valuation. At $60, the stock trades at 19 times this year's earnings forecast of $3.11. But free cash flow is projected to total $3.91 a share this year—and rise above $6 over two years. Raymond James analyst Aaron Kessler, who rates the stock Outperform, says international bookings are growing nicely and Expedia is benefiting from its technology investments.

One reason for the low price is that desktop computing, where Microsoft's programs have long been dominant, is giving way to online programs accessed by cheap, portable devices, where Microsoft is only one of several strong competitors. But that shift isn't new, and Microsoft's revenue and earnings are still growing. Its net cash balance, combined with yearly free cash flow, works out to enough money to buy the entire company over the next six or seven years. Shares yield 3.4%.

The stock looks like a decent deal at 15 times this year's projected earnings, but a much better one at less than 12 times free cash flow. One reason for the difference between the two measures is that the actual cash the company is spending on business investments each year is less than the accounting charges it's taking to its earnings for past investments. That makes free cash flow a better gauge of current results.

Its revenue plunged by more than half during the 2009 recession, and earnings turned sharply negative. Today, the company is riding a cautious recovery, while restructuring to reduce its costs and free more cash. Earnings are expected to just top $2 a share this year, making the stock, at $27, seem reasonably priced. But free cash flow in 2012 is pegged at $3.89 a share–and earnings are expected to grow that large in three years' time. Investors who buy now for the free cash have a good chance of selling at a nice profit later on to those who are watching the earnings.

Is it possible to force stock Movies app in landscape mode?
I've tried with Xposed App Settings, but the result was that only the entry screen was forced to landscape mode,
but the playing screen still depends on auto-rotation...
I know that opening Auto Rotation can let the screen turns to landscape mode,
but there is some problem with my Xperia S's Gyroscope,
so for most of the times even if I turn on Auto Rotation it will not rotate to landscape mode, which is very annoying
Is it possible to force the playing screen in Movies app to be in landscape mode?
Maybe decompiling the apk and change some files?
Every answer is well appreciated!

Texas Tortoise
The Texas tortoise, Gopherus berlandier, is a native tortoise to south Texas and the northern regions of Mexico. It is a protected species in Texas and is currently listed as state threatened with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. Decades of illegal collection and breeding of tortoises has resulted in hundreds, if not thousands, of Texas tortoises in captivity. Escaped or released tortoises often wind up far outside of their natural range and many are encountered in inappropriate habitat for the species. The Houston Zoo has partnered with Texas Parks and Wildlife and the Gladys Porter Zoo to help implement an awareness campaign in south Texas. We have created brochures in English and Spanish that are distributed across this area in state parks, zoos, and environmental education centers.

Press release from Business Wire
H&E Equipment Services Reports First Quarter 2011 Results
Thursday, May 05, 2011
H&E Equipment Services Reports First Quarter 2011 Results07:00 EDT Thursday, May 05, 2011 BATON ROUGE, La. (Business Wire) -- H&E Equipment Services, Inc. (NASDAQ: HEES) today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011. FIRST QUARTER 2011 HIGHLIGHTS Revenues grew in all segments, reflecting a 17.6% year-over-year increase to $134.9 million in total revenues. Rental revenues increased 33.0% from a year ago to $48.5 million. Gross margins were 26.0% as compared to 20.8% a year ago. Rental gross margins increased to 35.4% compared to 21.7% a year ago. Average time utilization (based on units available for rent) increased to 61.0% compared to 49.7% last year. Average time utilization (based on original equipment cost) increased to 64.9% compared to 51.2% a year ago. Average rental rates turned positive in March on a year-over-year basis. Dollar utilization was 27.9% in the first quarter compared to 22.0% a year ago. Average rental fleet age at March 31, 2011 was 43.2 months compared to an industry average of approximately 53 months. EBITDA increased 93.6% to $21.3 million from $11.0 million, yielding a margin of 15.8% compared to 9.6% of revenues a year ago. "We are extremely pleased with our first quarter results and the ongoing improvements in our business," said John Engquist, H&E Equipment Services' president and chief executive officer. "Despite normal seasonality that was compounded by historically inclement weather in many of our end markets, our business delivered solid year-over-year improvements in revenue, gross profit and EBITDA. The trends in our rental business remain particularly strong as revenue increased 33.0%, gross profit increased 116.7% and gross margins increased from 21.7% to 35.4% despite a slight decline in rental rates from a year ago. We were pleased to see rates turn positive on a year-over-year basis in the month of March. Furthermore, the second quarter has started on a positive note with solid year-over-year gains in April rental rates. Visibility in our distribution business remains limited. While new earthmoving equipment sales were strong, the lack of large crawler crane sales negatively impacted new equipment sales compared to the fourth quarter." "Our outlook for the second quarter is positive as we expect the improvement in industrial construction markets to accelerate. However, we do not expect a broad recovery in non-residential construction markets to occur until 2012. In spite of this, we expect our losses to moderate for the remainder of 2011," Engquist commented. "The activity in our industrial markets remains strong, especially in our Gulf Coast and Intermountain regions as a result of rising oil and commodity prices. Demand for early cycle earthmoving equipment continues to increase and we are beginning to see improved rental rates. With a solid capital structure and excellent liquidity, we believe we have positioned our business very well to take advantage of any improvements in market conditions." FINANCIAL DISCUSSION FOR FIRST QUARTER 2011Revenue Total revenues increased 17.6% to $134.9 million from $114.7 million in the first quarter of 2010. Equipment rental revenues increased 33.0% to $48.5 million compared with $36.5 million in the first quarter of 2010. New equipment sales increased 6.9% to $29.2 million from $27.3 million a year ago. Used equipment sales increased 14.8% to $15.4 million compared to $13.4 million a year ago. Parts sales increased 9.9% to $21.6 million from $19.6 million in the first quarter of 2010. Service revenues increased 10.0% to $12.6 million compared with $11.5 million a year ago. Gross Profit Gross profit increased 47.0% to $35.1 million from $23.9 million in the first quarter of 2010. Gross margin was 26.0% for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 as compared to 20.8% for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. In comparison to a year ago, the higher gross margin in the first quarter 2011 was largely the result of improved rental gross margins. On a segment basis, gross margin on rentals increased to 35.4% from 21.7% in the first quarter of 2010. On average, rental rates were 1.1% lower than rates in the first quarter of 2010. However, average rental rates for the month of March improved 1.1% compared to March of last year. Time utilization (based on units available for rent) was 61.0% in the first quarter of 2011 as compared to 49.7% a year ago. Gross margins on new equipment sales were 10.8% compared to 8.7% in the first quarter a year ago. Gross margins on used equipment sales were 25.1% compared to 20.0% a year ago. Gross margins on parts sales were 26.6% in the first quarter of 2011 and 27.4% last year. Gross margins on service revenues were 61.1% for the first quarter of 2011 compared to 61.9% in the first quarter of 2010. Rental Fleet At the end of the first quarter of 2011, the original acquisition cost of the Company's rental fleet was $699.7 million, an increase of $39.7 million from $660.0 million at the end of the first quarter of 2010. Dollar utilization was 27.9% compared to 22.0% for the first quarter of 2010. Dollar returns improved reflecting higher time utilization as discussed above. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses SG&A expenses for the first quarter of 2011 were $38.1 million compared with $35.9 million last year, a $2.2 million, or 6.2% increase. SG&A expenses in the first quarter of 2011 declined as a percentage of total revenues to 28.2% as compared to 31.3% last year. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily attributable to higher commission and incentive pay on higher revenues and an increase in employee headcount. Loss from Operations Loss from operations for the first quarter of 2011 was $2.9 million, or 2.1% of revenues, compared with loss from operations of $11.9 million, or 10.4% of revenues, a year ago. Interest Expense Interest expense for the first quarter of 2011 was $7.2 million compared with $7.3 million a year ago. Net Loss Net loss was $6.5 million, or ($0.19) per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2011 compared to a net loss of $12.1 million, or ($0.35) per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2010. EBITDA EBITDA for the first quarter of 2011 increased $10.3 million to $21.3 million from $11.0 million in the first quarter of 2010. EBITDA as a percentage of revenues was 15.8% compared with 9.6% in the first quarter of 2010. Non-GAAP Financial Measures This press release contains certain Non-GAAP measures.

This pair of napkin rings is unlike any I have ever seen. Engraved on both rings is a family crest and the family motto (in Latin). The napkin rings are lovely and heavy and would be very desirable anyway; the crest and motto make them that much more special. Both have the standard English sterling hallmarks. They were made in Sheffield in 1904. The maker's mark is M&W, which is the mark of the famous firm of Mappin and Webb. The height of each is 1.75 inches, and the diameter of the opening is 2 inches, so these are quite large. The pair together weighs 4.2 ounces, very heavy for napkin rings. The crest is a crane with an arrow in its mouth. The motto is "Ferendo et Feriendo." By going to a heraldry web site I learned that this is the motto for the Harrison family, and the translation is "By bearing and striking." The napkin rings are in perfect condition and make a distinctive pair.

Hmmm.... probably the ozone layer. It's the most likely to happen I suppose.
I don't know...it's not exactly a cheerful topic to think about, you know? Either I think a nuclear incident or a single event that we cannot control, like a renewal of the Earth, but having to exterminate everything already here to do so.
Like I said, not something you want to think about too much.

Sleep, those little slices of death, how I loath them.
- Edgar Allen Poe
*cough* Human stupidity.
Uh hummm...Me, I will do it. Kill all of you greedy sick slobs. I may create a disease, or nano machines. Maybe I melt the polar ice caps and right before most of the world drowns, I launch missiles at all the mountains in the world so you mofos can't hide there. How can I do all this? Just look at the other side of the moon, I have been practicing cause when it all boils down, I am Rick James bitch, now die.
PS. I will kill myself only after all you bastards are dead…..then the angry monkey in my closest will rule the world.
I am sorry this was supposed to be a serious thread, personally I think we will eventually figure out how to make things work and not destroy the world but make it into a utopia, full of love and peace.....Seriously I do!
it will be some kind of sick evil man who decides to just shoot the super hero's when he has a chance.
i am the urban monky
look to the mune
i am making a bet for either it will be a giant flood, like the polar ice caps melting or we will cut down all the trees and no oxygen will be left. also the possibility of us polluting teh planet so much that we contaiminate (wrongly spelled) our water supply and eventually die from a disease from the drinking water, is very high.
i would love to see the four horse men though and ask how can i apply for a job in hell. i might as well be useful.
i guess yo guys have never read the bible before!! in the bible is written that jesus is coming to this planet again to take his people and the rest will be left out here suffering the destruction!!!.....many natural desasters will occur destroyin all living and notliving things so be prepared for this day...dont comit more sins!!!!
i almost gurrantee that we already know the end of the world. yes i've read revelations from the bible 4 times through and had to take notes on it in 4th grade. Now the question is theres another book of the bible just like revelations if nobody has noticed. which is isaih i believe the key lies there although theres only one religion that can clarify that now isnt there? in case you guys dont know what i'm talking about i'm talking about the dead sea scrolls that were recently discovered. thats where i believe we'll find out although none of us will know the truth behind them because of the religion catholicism. Now none of you may know this but they have the scrolls but wont share them with other religions. so if you want to find out ask a catholic but i'm sure theyre not aware of it as they get taught the same thing every week over and over again
heres my second part we'll all die on december 23, 2,012 according to the mayas and heres the scary part about that everything they have predicted has come true
well theres my take on things didnt mean to offend anyone if i did

|Blu-Ray + DVD combo, what's the point?
For people like me who have one blu-ray player (PS3) but multiple DVD players in my house. Or maybe you have a blu-ray for your TV but your laptop only plays DVDs. There are many situations that having both versions would work for the buyer.

Pacific Rim is on the Wal-Mart add for Black Friday for $9.99. Amazon could match, but probably won't.

campanula p. pantaloons
izzy58(4)July 17, 2007
Grrr!! i bought this plant this year and planted it in an east-facing location which gets sun until about 1pm or so. it bloomed just beautifully on its 3 strong stems... but then one stem just dried up and so i cut it off. this left 2 remaining stems which are still growing but it looks as if the leaves are drying up also... strange enough,there are 3 "new" growths emerging at the base of each stem. does this plant need "more" sun than it is getting or does it need "more" shade? can i move it, and if so what location would be the best for it? Thanx!!

Big energy for Obama at Seattle site
The mood is celebratory if chaotic at Washington Middle School at 21st Avenue and South Jackson. A racially and age-diverse group of hundreds of Democrats, many with children in tow, gathered in a stuffy lunchroom at 1 p.m. (Far more diversified that Seattle overall.) There are a handful of Clinton signs here, but the energy for Obama is palpable. Some Obama backers carry handmade signs and a joyful spirit, talking of history making in the process and change. Many precincts then split off to gather in classrooms and the lunchroom. It's almost 1:30 and folks are still signing in, finding their rooms and getting organized. Clarence Freeman Jr., 66 of Mt. Baker, has never attended a caucus — or participated in politics much at all for that matter. This year is different. [Read More]
