xz-utils 5.1.1alpha+20120614-1 source package in Ubuntu
xz-utils (5.1.1alpha+20120614-1) unstable; urgency=low * New snapshot, taken from upstream commit f1675f76. - liblzma: BCJ filters would return a spurious LZMA_BUF_ERROR result in certain circumstances. As a result, the xz tool could produce inappropriate "Compressed data is corrupt" or "Unexpected end of input" failures (reported in XZ Embedded as Fedora bug 735408). - "xz -v -v --list" prints the minimal XZ Utils version needed to decompress a stream. - "xz --robot -v --list" formats filenames more plainly. - xzgrep does not fail unconditionally when the decompressor dies with SIGPIPE due to unconsumed output any more. This makes the exit status from commands such as "xzgrep -q" and "xzgrep -l" more predictable and convenient for scripts. - examples/xz_pipe_decomp.c did not check correctly for truncated input. - There is a new set of sample programs. The old ones have been renamed to examples_old but are still maintained. * liblzma: - If dlopen() indicates that liblzma.so.2 is loaded, check fewer reserved fields in the stream argument to the lzma_code() function. This prevents out-of-bounds reads when liblzma5 functions are called by code built against liblzma2 (see <http://sourceware.org/PR12977>). - Remove the lzma_code@Base compatibility symbol. Closes: #649522. Thanks to Eduard Bloch. - Install run-time library to /lib so it can be used before /usr is mounted. Closes: #672120. - Configure with --disable-threads for now to avoid needlessly linking to libpthread and librt. * liblzma-dev: - Install an appropriate library for static linking instead of the decompression-only version used to build xzdec. Closes: #673001. Thanks to Anton Tolchanov. - Use the liblzma2-compatible version of lzma_code() in the static library. - Multi-Arch: same. Thanks to Riku Voipio. - Install new examples and revised old examples to /usr/share/doc/liblzma-dev. * xz-utils: - Use update-alternatives to provide lzma, unlzma, lzcat, and the rest of the lz* scripts without conflicting with the lzma package. - Conflicts: lzma versions before before 9.22-1, when it started providing lzma, unlzma, and lzcat through the alternatives system. - Conflicts: and Replaces: xz-lzma. - README.Debian: Update instructions on configuring the package to provide lzma compatibility commands. * Remove xz-lzma package. * Use dpkg-buildflags to retrieve compiler flags, including hardening options. Build-Depends: dpkg-dev (>= 1.16.1). Closes: #653739. * debian/rules: - build-arch: Simplify by using a double-colon rule instead of a dependency on a dummy noop target. - build-indep: Assume doxygen is available, instead of trying to get by by assuming the caller meant to invoke build-arch when it is missing. Build-Depends: dpkg-dev (>= 1.16.2). - Rearrange for clarity. * debian/symbols: Bump the minimal version for lzma_code(), lzma_raw_buffer_decode(), and lzma_raw_buffer_encode(). * Use machine-readable copyright-format 1.0. * Update copyright file. * Standards-Version: 3.9.3 (checked). * debian/changelog.upstream.sh: Use 'git rev-list | git diff-tree' instead of 'git log' to avoid depending on the build system's configuration. -- Jonathan Nieder <email address hidden> Sat, 16 Jun 2012 15:03:17 -0500

- liblzma5: XZ-format compression library
XZ is the successor to the Lempel-
Ziv/Markov- chain Algorithm
compression format, which provides memory-hungry but powerful
compression (often better than bzip2) and fast, easy decompression.
The native format of liblzma is XZ; it also supports raw (headerless)
streams and the older LZMA format used by lzma. (For 7-Zip's related
format, use the p7zip package instead.)
- xz-utils: XZ-format compression utilities
XZ is the successor to the Lempel-
Ziv/Markov- chain Algorithm
compression format, which provides memory-hungry but powerful
compression (often better than bzip2) and fast, easy decompression.
This package provides the command line tools for working with XZ
compression, including xz, unxz, xzcat, xzgrep, and so on. They can
also handle the older LZMA format, and if invoked via appropriate
symlinks will emulate the behavior of the commands in the lzma
The XZ format is similar to the older LZMA format but includes some
improvements for general use:
* 'file' magic for detecting XZ files;
* crc64 data integrity check;
* limited random-access reading support;
* improved support for multithreading (not used in xz-utils);
* support for flushing the encoder.
- xzdec: XZ-format compression utilities - tiny decompressors
XZ is the successor to the Lempel-
Ziv/Markov- chain Algorithm
compression format, which provides memory-hungry but powerful
compression (often better than bzip2) and fast, easy decompression.
This package provides the xzdec and lzmadec utilities, which write
the decompressed version of a compressed file to standard output. The
binaries are very small, so they can be easily stored on small media
with some compressed files, and they are linked statically against
liblzma so they can be used on machines without a compatible version
of liblzma installed. However, they have:
* no compression support;
* no support for writing to a file other than standard output;
* no translated messages;
* been optimized for size rather than speed.
For a full-featured xzcat command without these limitations, use
the xz-utils package instead.

No to forget, we are days away (22 May) from the release of Blackout, final book in the Newsflesh trilogy.
Here's the Blackout synopsis
Rise up while you can. -Georgia Mason
The year was 2014. The year we cured cancer. The year we cured the common cold. And the year the dead started to walk. The year of the Rising.
The year was 2039. The world didn't end when the zombies came, it just got worse. Georgia and Shaun Mason set out on the biggest story of their generation. The uncovered the biggest conspiracy since the Rising and realized that to tell the truth, sacrifices have to be made.
Now, the year is 2041, and the investigation that began with the election of President Ryman is much bigger than anyone had assumed. With too much left to do and not much time left to do it in, the surviving staff of After the End Times must face mad scientists, zombie bears, rogue government agencies-and if there's one thing they know is true in post-zombie America, it's this:
Things can always get worse.
BLACKOUT is the conclusion to the epic trilogy that began in the Hugo-nominated FEED and the sequel, DEADLINE.

Does [artist id="502642″]Eminem[/artist] know how to make a comeback or does he know how to make a comeback? He's giving his patient fans more than what they bargained for. Interscope Records announced Thursday (March 5) that Slim Shady is dropping two albums this year, Relapse and Relapse 2.
The first LP has been slated for May 19, with a single and video premiering on radio and television airwaves on April 7. It sounds like this record will be in addition to "Crack a Bottle," which has already gone #1. The video for that hit should drop soon.
Relapse 2 doesn't have a release date yet, but in a statement, Em said that he's currently in the studio working on that project and it will come out in the second half of this year.
"A lot of people were expecting Relapse to drop last year," Eminem said in the press release. "I was one of them. Then Dre and I went back in the studio in September for a few days, and that turned into six months. We were on such a roll; we wound up with a ton of new music produced by Dre. Putting out Relapse 2 will let everyone get all of the best stuff."
It's been more than four years since Em's last solo LP, Encore. Verses, let alone full songs, from the acclaimed star have been sparse. Last year, Em dropped a freestyle called "I'm Having a Relapse" while promoting his autobiography, "Eminem: The Way I Am." The rhymes were crisp and let everyone know he wasn't missing a step.
Besides re-emerging as an artist, the Detroit rap legend will have his hands full as an executive this year. 50 Cent told MTV News last week that he plans to put out his Before I Self Destruct album this summer on the heels of Relapse. 50 said he was waiting for Dr. Dre to finish up with Em so they could complete work on Self Destruct.
Interscope didn't clarify what the announcement of Relapse 2 might mean for the release of Dre's upcoming Detox. Several unfinished tracks from Dre's record have leaked over the past few weeks. A handful of the bootlegged songs feature T.I. referencing vocals for the Doc.
While May 19 was also the last scheduled release date for Lil Wayne's rock-oriented Rebirth album, a label spokesperson told MTV News on Thursday that the album was recently moved to "TBD."

Global Financial Systemic Risk Is Rising - Again
Credit markets in Europe remain significant underperformers relative to equities this week, despite some short-covering yesterday that narrowed the gap. Global Financial Systemic Risk is rising again - dramatically. It seemed that the dramatic shift from early to mid-week was enough to scare some action back into the market and we can't help but feel that the rallies in Spanish and Italian govvies (on what was very likely thin trading) was all central banks, all the time. Today saw stocks rally in Europe to new post-NFP highs while credit leaked wider off its open and closed on a weak tone into the US long-weekend.
As BNP pointed out this week, the 7 day run wider in European financial credit was one of the largest on record at around 57bps (versus 64bps record) and so some pullback from that run was likely but the lack of follow-through today suggests this was books getting flatter into a decision/headline-heavy weekend as opposed to significant rerisking. EURUSD trod water around 1.3125/50 but AUD weakness spurred a much more risk-off attitude in FX that was not evident in stocks (yet). Treasuries were inching lower in yield as we moved into the European close after extending yesterday losses earlier on (up 2-6bps on the week). European sovereigns ended mixed with most wider since the NFP-pring Friday (Spain +27bps spread to bunds) while Italy managed to recover (-11bps) and Portugal is notably tighter. This week saw very sideways action dominated by the sell-off and rally reversal in Spain and Italy's pivot securities. As Europe closes, commodities (ex-Oil) are selling off rapidly with Copper the week's big loser -4%, Silver next - underperforming USD strength, and Gold just in the red on the week at $1720.
The end of the week felt much more like covering to flat than any aggressive re- or de-risking which seems appropriate given the rising risk of binary events and an inability to hedge those jumps.
Our index of the 30 most systemically important global financials (as per the FSB) is rising fast again as European/Greek concerns rise. Having retraced to the peak levels from mid 2010, we have rapidly risen in the last week - even as stocks have rallied.
Aside from the huge reversal day in Thursday - the week was weak in credit and strong in stocks (again). Today was flat in credit and up in stocks.
US and European financial credit markets have been weak as contagion risk and systemic risk rises. Europe's bounce yesterday was notable but saw no follow-through today and after an almost record seven-day run of around 57bps in European financials, it is perhaps no surprise we saw some covering or squaring of positions. Basis traders have been busy also (buying CDS protection and buying bonds) to lock in this difference, which has supported cash markets, but does little to help overall risk tolerance.
The other notable change here is that the index rally of the last day or two was not at all seen in underlying name CDS (the skew has widened massively) - i.e. while the index value improved, the value of the portfolio it is based on in fact weakened - which suggests a rotation from index overlays (quick liquid hedge) to more idiosyncratic (LTRO? Greek-exposed?) hedges. From Wednesday's close with the index and intrinsics at 242, the index has rallied to 222bps while intrinsics has weakened to 248bps!
Away from credit and equity, FX, rate, and commodity markets were choppy with the latter the most risk-averse this week - with Oil the obvious exception (up over 4% at around $103).
It would seem that amid all the noise, there was some signal - commodities, FX carry, and Credit were not happy while Stocks seemed more noise and headline-driven (as did EUR specifically) and with Global Financial Systemic Risk rising again - we suspect that government intervention will remain the only thing to hold this back.

Tyler, Why no mention of this? http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-02-17/ex-goldman-programmer-s-conviction-overturned-on-appeal.html
My shorts can't wait anymore. crash already motherfucker.
Leaving a job finally broke me of my market (and shorting) addiction. I sleep so much better now. One more good reason to leave a job I hated (mostly the people and the B.S. that went with them).
The system is the problem. It can't be fixed no matter how much liquidity they choose to pump. It needs to fail, and then be rebuilt from the ground up. based on equity, not debt.
Goldman Sachs Code-Theft Conviction Reversed (then amended) http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/ The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals heard his appeal on Thursday, and hours later and without explanation, reversed the 2010 conviction and ordered him acquitted, which usually forbids a retrial. On Friday, however, the court issued an amended order. It reversed the conviction, and ordered him free on $750,000 bond but removed the acquittal language. The appeals court said it would issue an opinion explaining the order in "due course." (.pdf)The New York Times summed up the court's concerns during Thursday's oral arguments. The paper noted that a critical issue was whether what he did was actually a crime under the Economic Espionage Act, which requires the theft to be from a "product designed for interstate commerce." Aleynikov's lawyers took the position that the software wasn't used in interstate commerce, while the feds argued that it clearly was.Aleynikov, a naturalized U.S. citizen who emigrated from the disintegrating Soviet Union in 1991, earned nearly $400,000 a year as a vice president with Goldman Sachs. He was arrested in July 2009 at the Newark Airport in New Jersey as he returned from a trip to Chicago.Authorities alleged he stole "hundreds of thousands of lines" of source code from Goldman Sachs in the days before he left the company. They alleged that he downloaded various software from the Goldman Sachs network and transferred it to a storage website hosted in Germany, before trying to erase his tracks from Goldman Sachs' network.Aleynikov allegedly used a script to copy, compress, encrypt and rename files, and then upload them to the server in Germany. Once the data was transferred, the program that was used to encrypt the files was erased, and he allegedly attempted to delete the network's batch history showing his activity. Prosecutors said Aleynikov made several copies of the code and had it on his laptop when he flew to Chicago to meet his new employers at Teza Technologies in Chicago. Prosecutors said a search of Teza computers uncovered no copies of Goldman Sachs' source code.
Big deal... so the World financial system is melting. At least Obama is forcing those wicked believers in Christ to take their damn birth control pills and eat them along with their peas.
Don't worry Huessein is on top of it!
Every time I look at O, and his followers, I become a bigger believer in birth control.
I have never once gone into the NYC subway system and thought, "man, we need fewer abortions". Sad but true.
Soon to be remedied.
good thing you haven't been to Kenya.
Beg, borrow, or steal to get your hands on physical PMs, folks.
The status quo of delusion, corruption, and incompetence is about to be bitch slapped.
Release another rumor, print more money, and add some zeros to all the central banks digital reserves. Another problem solved.
How many times have you worried about missing a party, or a big game, the thought just driving you crazy? Humans want to be involved. They want to be a part of something, to show that they are as good as everybody else. The same is true of rallies. They have a way of dragging you in, just like that party that is most likely going to be shitty but you still want to go anyway.
People just couldn't bring themselves to jump out of the stock market in 2007 and 2008. After all, it was going up. If it kept going up, "I would miss it" and then you would look stupid to friends and family. The "subprime crisis" hit. Bear Stearns hit. The housing slump hit. But yet the market just kept going. It seemed like stocks could overcome the obstacles.
Let us fast forward to 2012. We have turned a financial problem into a monetary plague. Greece is a disaster. Portugal, Spain, Ireland, The UK, The U.S. (with deficits that are stated to be 10 percent of GDP), oil is at $103 (WTI), and still AAPL and the market keep going higher. And the fear is to jump out and miss out on all of that "yield" in this ZIRP infested world.
Time and again we put ourselves in these situations because that is what humans do. We just can't, or won't, imagine the alternative outcome. So we stay in the crowd. If the market crashes I was in it with everybody else. If I jump out, and it keeps going up, then I missed it alone. As so many ZHers know, being right by yourself is probably more painful than being wrong in the herd. At least it feels that way sometimes.
All of this freezes the regular guy into inaction. I think that is where we are at now. The illusionists seem to have the Statue of Liberty hanging in midair and most people believe in the illusionists.
Well said.
It's all priced in already. Bullish.
What's beautiful about markets is that one can trade either direction. With this obviously present QE funded bubble, it would be nice to hear from ZH about making money when the bubble in these equities POPs.
When a company like Brightcove goes public and surges, you know it's a bubble. SFDC at 130? Bubble. All of these volatile examples are frothy. Microsoft breaking out. What times.
Make money going down. It's even faster. Now, how to do that. Stock picking sucks. SPX? Hmmm. When.
Share the laughable fantasy:
According to our team, 2012 will mark the starting point for the perpetuation of a new global power, Euroland.

Nick Mason Says Pink Floyd May Not Be Done
Pink Floyd's drummer jokes about the band's future beyond 'The Endless River.'
Pink Floyd's drummer jokes about the band's future beyond 'The Endless River.'
Pink Floyd have unveiled another video that features music from 'The Endless River.'
With the band's first new album in 20 years on the horizon, Pink Floyd fans are living what seemed until recently like an impossible dream.
After teasing fans with 30-second samples of some new songs over the past couple weeks, Pink Floyd have finally unveiled a full track from their upcoming album, 'The Endless River.'
Given that it took 20 years to get here and arose partly out of leftover performances recorded during the sessions for 1994's 'Division Bell' LP, it seems safe to assume that most Pink Floyd fans aren't expecting another album out of the long-dormant group after 'The Endless River' arrives Nov. 10.
We're learning more about Pink Floyd's first album in two decades as the release date nears.
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day?
Until recently, the prospect of a new Pink Floyd album seemed to good to be true, but now that the long-dormant group has confirmed its upcoming 'Endless River' LP, fans may feel like no dream is too unlikely to wish for.

The Podocnemididae are a family of turtles native to Madagascar and northern South America. They are side-necked turtles (Pleurodira), which means they do not retract their heads backwards, but hide them sideways. These turtles are all aquatic, inhabiting streams and other flowing water. Their shells are streamlined to aid in swimming.
Taxonomy and systematics[edit]
The Podocnemididae have been united with their closest living relatives, the Pelomedusidae, under the latter name, with both groups being treated as subfamilies. Under that scheme, the present group is named Podocnemidinae. Some authors still maintain this classification,[1] but here it is preferred to keep them distinct families in the superfamily Pelomedusoidea instead.
The family Podocnemididae contains only three living genera, two of them monotypic:
- Erymnochelys – Madagascan big-headed turtle
- Peltocephalus – big-headed Amazon River turtle
- Podocnemis – South American side-necked river turtles
The family also contains a number of prehistoric genera, including Albertwoodemys, Bairdemys, Bauruemys, Brontochelys, Caninemys, Cordichelys, Dacquemys, Lapparentemys, Latentemys, Lemurchelys, Mogharemys, Neochelys, Papoulemys, Peiropemys, Pricemys, Shweboemys, Stereogenys, Turkanemys, Cambaremys, Carbonemys, Cerrejonemys, Kenyemys, Roxochelys and Stupendemys.[2] Stupendemys lived around 5.5 million years ago in northern South America, and was the largest freshwater turtles and the largest pleurodire known to date.

Women Drinking More: StudyNEW YORK (AP) — It seemed too horrendous even to imagine. But the case of the mother who caused a deadly wrong-way crash while drunk and stoned is part of a disturbing trend: Women in the U.S. are drinking more, and drunken-driving arrests among women are rising rapidly while falling among men.
And some of those women, as in the New York case, are getting behind the wheel with kids in the back.
Men still drink more than women and are responsible for more drunken-driving cases. But the gap is narrowing, and among the reasons cited are that women are feeling greater pressures at work and home, they are driving more, and they are behaving more recklessly.
"Younger women feel more empowered, more equal to men, and have been beginning to exhibit the same uninhibited behaviors as men," said Chris Cochran of the California Office of Traffic Safety.
Another possible reason cited for the rising arrests: Police are less likely to let women off the hook these days.
Nationwide, the number of women arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs was 28.8 percent higher in 2007 than it was in 1998, while the number of men arrested was 7.5 percent lower, according to FBI figures that cover about 56 percent of the country. (Despite the incomplete sample, Alfred Blumstein, a Carnegie Mellon University criminologist, said the trend probably holds true for the country as a whole.)
"Women are picking up some of the dangerously bad habits of men," said Chuck Hurley, CEO of Mothers Against Drunk Driving.
In New York's Westchester County, where Diane Schuler's crash killed her and seven other people last month, the number of women arrested for drunken driving is up 2 percent this year, and officers said they are noticing more women with children in the back seat.
"We realized for the last two to three years, the pattern of more female drivers, particularly mothers with kids in their cars, getting arrested for drunk driving," said Tom Meier, director of Drug Prevention and Stop DWI for the county.
In one case there, a woman out clubbing with her teenage daughter was sent to prison for causing a wrong-way crash that killed her daughter's friend.
Another woman was charged with driving drunk after witnesses said she had been drinking all day before going to pick up her children at school. Authorities said the children were scared during the ride, and once they got home, they jumped out of the car, ran to a neighbor's house and told an adult, who called police. The mother lay passed out in the car, and police said her blood alcohol level was 0.27 percent — more than three times the legal limit.
In California, based on the same FBI figures, women accounted for 18.8 percent of all DUI arrests in 2007, up from 13.5 percent in 1998, according to the California Office of Traffic Safety.
Unlike men, women tend to drink at home and alone, which allows them to conceal a problem more easily.
Because of this, they seek treatment less often than men, and when they do, it is at a later stage, often when something catastrophic has already happened, said Dr. Petros Levounis, director of the Addiction Institute of New York at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center.
"Our society has taught us that women have an extra burden to be the perfect mothers and perfect wives and perfect daughters and perfect everything," Levounis said. "They tend to go to great lengths to keep everything intact from an external viewpoint while internally, they are in ruins."
In the current recession, women's incomes have become more important because so many men have lost their jobs, experts say. Men are helping out more at home, but working mothers still have the bulk of the child rearing responsibilities.
"Because of that, they have a bigger burden then most men do," said clinical psychologist Carol Goldman. "We have to look at the pressures on women these days. They have to be the supermom."
And just becoming a parent doesn't mean people will stop using drugs or alcohol, Ducharme said: "If you have a real addictive personality, just having a child isn't going to make the difference."

Hi everyone
I had just had an abortion last thursday and the experience was horrific. The procedure was fine the staff were amazing and I am not in much pain etc.
But my ex partner made it hell. He told me on the way there I was ugly and discusting and he just used me for something to do. I have been coping really badly. He has a new girlfriend and he said to me if I told her he would ruin my life. He hasn't asked how I am. I am feeling so sad and angry. I keep feeling so angry at how he can move on and not care and I am left with this dreadful feeling in the pit of my stomach.
I need help as I just can't cope. I hate the fact he has got away with it. I have been nothing but nice to him and he doesn't care. will I ever get over the trauma? The abortion itself is hard enough to go through but I am just devastated at the way he treated me. Please help :(

The chapters that follow offer a cultural critique of social welfare policy in the United States at the end of the twentieth century. While historically social welfare policy has reflected cultural norms, fin de siècle social welfare policy has proved to be a flash point for struggle over the fundamental cultural categories that undergird the social order. The end of the century has seen intensified concerns about the end of the industrial social order and the emergence of a new postindustrial set of social relations.1 In the process, social welfare policy has become unusually freighted with cultural significance and has been enlisted in the effort to deny the changes that are occurring in work and family relations. Along with persistent poverty, growing inequality, and the collapse of the manual labor market, the traditional two-parent family has continued to dissolve and gender relations have undergone wholesale revision. Social welfare policy has been enlisted in what seems to be an eleventh-hour attempt to enforce the traditional values of work and family that have propped up what Nancy Fraser, Linda Gordon, and others have called the industrial "family-wage system" that is based on the traditional two-parent family in which the male "breadwinner" earns enough to support his wife the "homemaker," and their children.2 The ideal of the traditional family was never realizable for most families in the industrial era; with postindustrialism, it is no longer sustainable as an ideal. However, social policy has been enlisted to deny this reality and insist on the maintenance of the ideal. It is very much part of what Lawrence M. Mead has touted as the "New Paternalism."3 In the face of social change, this desperate new paternalism seeks to reassert the traditional values of work and family as if insisting on the old values would suffice to maintain the old arrangements. At the same time, this new paternalism denies that social changes in work and family have helped highlight the profound inequities of the old system, especially for women and minorities.4
While recent debates in social theory have often divided those who want to emphasize material issues of redistribution from those who put the stress

"I ordered 4 fruit trees on 8/27. They were shipped on 8/31 and arrived on yesterday 9/1. All trees were in great shape and look very healthy. The Avocado tree was upside down when it was delivered but it was packed very well with screws and straps so it wasn't damaged. I live in central Florida which might explain the quick delivery. Anyhow so far I'm very please now let's see it they grow!
In response to the radial check box below this panel the answer is 'No' I was not asked to write this review."
"worst company I have ever dealt with. Promises and Lies and more lies. They never acted as if they cared about me or my order. They hide behind gatekeepers at a 3rd party company.
Dont order from them unless you want to be cheated and lied to/"
"I bought a nectarine tree, a black raspberry, and two blueberry bushes. This spring everything got through the winter. However today I went out to check them, and one of the blueberry bushes had died. I had to call them because their site would not sent the pictures. The woman I spoke with told me that although I got them last June, the warrentee had expired a couple of days ago. So there was nothing she could/would do. I will never purchase anything from them again."
"I spent a bunch of time writing a review of my purchase for their website and they choose not to post it. It's clear that they only post favorable reviews. I don't want to go through all of the specifics again but here are the highlights. Ordered two rose bushes and a rose tree. One bush was dead within a week (not one bloom). The tree is alive but hasn't bloomed since the initial blooms died. The other bush is healthy. All three are smaller than I expected and was able to go to Lowe's and buy bigger and healthier rose bushes for half the price despite the website claiming this stuff was 50% off. I would not recommend purchasing anything from them partly because of the lack of quality at a high price but even more so because they don't post negative reviews which is a clear indication that the products are bad."
"This place is a joke. Ordered a tree as a gift on May 8th - still have not received it. I have contacted them 3 times - with no satisfaction. Now after looking at all the reviews, I'm afraid it will be dead when it gets here...yikes."
"First the items ordered and paid for were delayed from Feb'15 to Oct'15. When I requested a refund, my credit card was charged - TWICE!!! After numerous emails and phone calls (with 20+ minutes of hold time) to rectify, I'm still waiting to get my refund.
NEVER NEVER NEVER order from FGT unless you''ve got lots of time and money to waste."
"Ordered a tree and received confirmation of order on 4/16. On 4/28 checked order status and order does not exist. Sent customer service an inquiry on this matter twice and have not gotten a response. "
"Disappointed. Ordered a mimosa TREE.
Locally referred to as 'weeds', so not available in nurseries.
Received a small dormant twig with bare roots; twig is slimmer than a pencil, absolutely no buds or foliage whatever.
Called the company.You have only FIVE DAYS to get a store credit, no refunds...unless it's 'dead on arrival'.
She insisted that it be put in water for 3 to 6 hours IMMEDIATELY, and then planted.
This will take many years to be a TREE.
The amount of shipping may be designed to give the impression one is paying for a TREE, not a dormant 2oz. twig.
The website says they: cannot afford to take a loss 'like big box stores'......Maybe they need to move to some other line of business then.
Usual price for this pathetic mimosa ''tree'' is $109.90
'sale' price $54.95
Shipping $19.95
plus tax = $78.75.
Now they have the money, and I do not.
Be prepared to be one of their unhappy customers in case this happens to you.
"I ordered an Arbequina Olive tree, 5ft in height, for $90.00 While waiting for the tree to arrive, I noticed that Home Depot had 4 ft trees for about $36.00 and then saw that Whole Foods also had 3~4 ft trees for about $26.00 I emailed Fast Growing Trees explaining that while I appreciate quality, I wanted them to explain the price difference. "Elvis" responded that their nursery specializes in grafted trees, allowing the tree to be hardier, produce richer fruit ,and so forth. I responded that while I do understand , I still felt the price had too much of a variance. After emailing Elvis back that I would not be a repeat customer, I Have heard no response. "
"Horrible! I bought trees. Well 9 out of 10 were much I mean much smaller than described suppose to be 4' and went all the way down to 15" plus one was very damaged (not from shipping) and they were not too healthy looking (lots of brown)
Stay away!!! I emailed and got no reply"
"I just got my trees and they look great. They are closer to the high end of their expected height which I am I really happy about. They were packed well."
"These guys are great. I have ordered some evergreens from them. They arrived in good condition and as described. Unfortunately some of them did not survived. I have purchased a warranty from them and when I made the claim they honored it and send me a coupon to use to replace my trees. Their service was great and quick. Janine helped me out and she was great.
Will shop there again.
P.S. I wish they had a wider selection."
"this company suck, first of they email replying was horrible and then they mistake ship my orders ( I can email to cancel , they still ship out), and when I called for this mistake, they won't give me refund, but only store credit. and plan died after 4 moths, they won't give me credit, I will not suggest to buy from them. "
"Very Unhappy.... I spent well over $300 on a few trees, and they arrived defoliated and covered in fungus and bug eaten.
When I initially contacted them, they offered to replace the trees and said they would be in contact. After writing them back with no response, they stated that these poor excuse for trees were "normal" and basically poured me a steaming hot cup of I-DONT-GIVE-A-&$@%.
Don't order from them, they obviously are an un-ethical company and have lost me as a customer. "

Motorcycle deaths up this year
With the debauchery-fueled Sturgis motorcycle rally set to kick off next week, state safety officials thought now was a good time to remind the public to "share the road"-- especially since motorcycle fatalities are on the rise in Minnesota.
In a press release put out today, the Department of Public Safety laid out some stats. The skinny: 27 motorcyclists have been killed so far this year. At this point last year, 25 bikers had killed. Obviously not a statistically significant jump, but last year was the deadliest year in 23 years, so the bar was already high.
(From the press release):
According to Cheri Marti, director of the DPS Office of Traffic Safety (OTS), nearly half of all motorcycle crashes involve another vehicle. Marti emphasizes that because motorcycles are smaller than other vehicles, it is more difficult to judge their speed and distance. "Watch carefully for motorcycle riders this weekend, and expect to see them throughout the summer and well into fall," says Marti.
The Minnesota Motorcycle Safety Center, an OTS program, offers expert riding tips and training for new, returning and advanced riders. For more information or to sign up for a training course, call 800-407-6677 or visit www.motorcyclesafety.org. Tips for riders to be more visible in traffic can be found at www.HighViz.org.

Looking for an appraisal. Looking for something semi decent to do the ms150 in, possibly keep if I get into more distance riding, but also something that would hold its value. This guy is a bike flipper, I recognize his ads, but this is a lovely looking bike
he emailed me offering to sell it for $600 after seeing my 'wanted' ad.DeRosa.
Size 56.cm
Hand built lugged steel frame.
Shimano 9 speed STI shifters.
Brakes and rear derailleur shimano Sante. These parts were made to last forever and were better than the top of the range parts in the day. They are still super high quality in today's standard and very desirable.
Bike is fully restored with new paint, cables & housing, bar tape, bearings and tires.
Mavic Wheels
Can be re powder coated if you don't like the color but will not come with decals.

Warc has again teamed up with the APSOTW – the Advertising Planning School On The Web.
This excellent initiative, run by a team of senior planners from across the world, poses challenges for up-and-coming planners and marketers. It's a chance to show off your ideas in front of a seriously, seriously senior line-up of judges.
We're lending a hand by carrying and promoting their challenges here on the Warc Blog and hopefully highlighting some of the ideas that come out of them.
You can view the previous challenges we helped out with here, and read an introduction to this latest challenge here.
Now, over to Andrew Hovell for details of the new assignment…
Advertising revenues for the UK's national newsbrands fell 11% to £1.2bn in 2015, £150m lower than a year earlier owing entirely to losses in print business, according to the latest results from the AA/Warc UK Expenditure Report, released this week.
A 2.5% rise in digital adspend (to £220m) could not offset the fall for print (down 13.4% to £1bn) last year, the report finds. However, we expect the overall rate of decline to slow to -5.9% in 2016 and -3.4% in 2017, stymied by an average growth rate of 7.7% in digital adspend and softer falls for print over the forecast period.
UK advertising expenditure grew at its strongest rate since 2010 last year, with total adspend of £20.1bn marking a 7.5% rise from 2014, according to the latest results from the AA/Warc UK Expenditure Report, released this week.
When comparing this to Warc's international database, we see that of the top ten advertising markets by dollar value, the UK's growth was the second-fastest last year, behind only China.
This post is a response to the article Ditching targeting for mass marketing is going back to the dark ages written by Professor Mark Ritson in Marketing Week. Ritson was commenting on a report by Warc - Mars looks beyond targeting - on a speech given by Mars Global CMO, Bruce McColl.
Mark Ritson writes: "It is impossible to teach targeting to MBA students these days without extensive reference to Ehrenberg-Bass and its theories" (Marketing Week, April 2016). That's quite a compliment given that Mark says he almost never brings academic research into the classroom.
Yet WARC invited me to write a reply to Mark's article because it seemed to criticise the Ehrenberg-Bass Institute's conclusions about the need for broad reach in order to deliver brand growth.
I was recently speaking at a Google event in Sydney. The topic I was asked to speak on was 'Digital storytelling', so let me tell you a tale.
Humans love stories. We use them to make sense of the world. When we cannot understand something, we use stories to explain it to ourselves, and each other. Stories are everywhere because everything is literally complex, the product of many things interoperating and creating endlessly emergent effects.
This guest post is from Mobbie Nazir, Chief Strategy Officer at We Are Social
This year I have the pleasure of once again judging the Warc Prize for Social Strategy, the Prize designed to recognise work from all over the world that uses social ideas to drive business results. Last year's brilliant, diverse winners proved just how much social marketing has evolved. In fact the work was so diverse it was difficult to distinguish a clear set of "best practice principles" - which is partly because the category is moving so fast but also partly because social has the power to impact so many different aspects of a brand's business. From marketing to product and service innovation to customer service.
Who will succeed in the new age of data discovery? We asked a panel of four international experts across academia and business to share their views on where the world of insight is going, and how it is adapting to a data-rich, connected, and social world. Speaking at the 2016 MRS Impact conference held in London this March, the panel drew a large crowd for a lively debate.

Which is why it's heartening to see Flores, in a glowing review posted on Easy Street's blog, call her latest album, Rattlin' Bones (a collection of duets with new hubby and fellow outback crooner Shane Nichols that was released stateside on October 14), "one of the greatest records I have ever heard."

Web Sites Worth a Click
Sosnowski, Carolyn J., Information Outlook
Earlier this year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture released a revised "food pyramid," which continues to serve as a nutritional guide for those interested in a healthy lifestyle. The new pyramid, based on the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, has an interactive and multifaceted Internet component. Users provide information about age, gender, and physical activity level, and the site makes recommendations for daily consumption from the five areas of the pyramid (grains, vegetables, fruits, milk, and meat and beans). Ideas for following the suggestions, in the form of "tips" and other resources, lead users to explore a diet rich in whole grains, deeply colored vegetables, and lower-fat foods. In a password-protected area of the site (where personal information is kept private), MyTracker allows users to plot and assess their diets and physical activity over time by entering food items (specific products and amounts) and exercise levels for analysis and comparison to the Guidelines. A helpful section for professionals offers teaching guides and a sample menu. At times, the site can be slow, but exploring MyPyramid is definitely worth the effort.
Subtitled "America's Book Review," this site contains reviews, interviews, and other tidbits for libraries, booksellers, readers, and publishers. BookPage is an extension of the print publication, which has been around since 1988 and is available at libraries and bookstores nationwide (a directory of locations is posted). Each month, more than 60 new items in a wide array of categories (mystery, romance, history, cookbooks, children's literature, autobiography, audiobooks, among others) appear on the site, either as part of the standard crop of reviews or representative of one of the month's themes (such as summer reading in July and women's history, gardening, and world travel in March). The Advice for Writers columnists answer questions and offer advice to authors looking for the straight story about getting published, finding an agent, and marketing their labor of love. Reviewer and interviewer credentials are listed with each piece, as are links to WorldCat, local bookshops, and an online bookseller price comparison tool. Searchable archives go back to 1996.

Nationwide Series practice open to the publicPublished 8:16pm Wednesday, August 4, 2010
BROOKLYN — With the new NASCAR Nationwide Series car making its debut at Michigan International Speedway next weekend, the speedway has decided to open the race track to the public for the new car's practice sessions on Thursday, Aug. 12. Best of all, it's free!
The practice sessions will be held from 9 a.m. until noon and 1 to 4 p.m. The sessions will test the cars in preparation for the Nationwide Series CARFAX 250 race on Saturday, August 14 at MIS.
Fans will be able to view the new car practicing from the Turn 1 grandstands located next to the speedway's Administration Building. Parking for the practice will be in Lot 10 and accessible off the US-12 entrance to the track. All fans must enter the grandstands through Gate 17 near the water tower. Gate 17 will open at 9 a.m. Trams will be operational during the practice for guests who are camping on speedway property that day. Trams stops will be located outside of Turn 2, Turns 3-4.
The new Nationwide Series car is making four stops on the circuit in 2010 with MIS being the second race. The car previously raced at Daytona in July and will also be at Richmond in September and Charlotte in October.
"We are fortunate to be only one of four tracks to host this new Nationwide Series car in 2010," MIS President Roger Curtis said. "To have the opportunity to open up the track on Thursday and give the fans the chance to watch the cars on track for free is something we are happy to do."
The car, which has received much praise for its similarities to the street model version of the same vehicle, will be driven by driver's such as Danica Patrick, Brad Keselowski and Justin Allgaier. The car will run the full Nationwide Series schedule beginning in 2011.
Additionally, the speedway's non-profit arm, MIS Cares, is again partnering with Two Men and a Truck for a special food and toy drive during the day long practice.
Any fan who donates a grocery bag of non-perishable food or unwrapped toy items when they arrive will receive two tickets to Friday's Meijer Pole Day.
All donations will be collected at the gate 17 entrance. Two Men and a Truck will deliver all the items to the St. Mary's Church in Adrian, Mich. following the race weekend.
Tickets for the NASCAR Nationwide Series CARFAX 250 are $40 for adults with kids 12 and under free.
Visit MISpeedway.com or call the MIS ticket hotline at (800) 354-1010 today to take advantage of great pricing for 2010 events at MIS.

I was commissioned and served 6 years active duty as a 21A Engineer Officer before separating in 2008 as a CPT. My IRR portion of my ISO ended in 2010, and I have not resigned my commission. I am contemplating possibly joining the Army Reserves, but I have several questions which I was I need more info on. My questions are listed below.
1) Since I have already completed my initial service obligation, is there a standard commitment period I would have to sign up for (3 years, 6 years, etc) or would it be up to me?
2) Upon joining the Reserves, would I be able to go straight to a unit, or is there some form of refresher training or BOLC I would need to complete?
3) What is the OPTEMPO like for a typical reservist, and how often do deployments come up?
4) If I were to join a TPU would the 2-year stabilization policy apply to me in my case?
5) How would being in the Reserves effect any current VA disability compensation I receive?
6) Would I be eligible for any type of bonuses for joining the Reserves, specifically would the $10,000 afiliation bonus apply in my case?
Any information you can provide is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Will try to answer your questions as best as I can.
1. It could be in year increments, your best option is to get a hold of your branch as they will be the ones to assign you to a unit.
2. In your case you are fully qualified and could go right to a unit.
3. Reserve units normally go in a 5 year cycle until deployment if called to do so, the total time training and boots on ground could be up to 18 months.
4. I do not know how that will work for seeing how you are a Officer.
5. You would be pro-rated for the amount you spend it the Reserve, etc., week-end drills, 2 weeks annual training.
6. I do not know about that either but when you get a hold of your Branch they can get you the details about bonuses if any at all.
Thank you for considering our Army Reserve..................
1. Sir, I would recommend reaching out to a Reserve Career counsellor or HRC regarding this. I would start here:
2. There are a lot of Engineer assets in the Reserves, and there are non-branch specific slots (many of which are O-3 slots), so you would probably be safe from additional training. If you wanted additional training, you may be able to request it. I am not sure how the "dark side" works!
3. Depends a lot on unit. Psyops and CA have a higher optempo. Generically speaking...they are working on a 5 year/1 year rotation for most units. This means 5 home, 1 deployed or activated. It's pretty true in my Command and many others.
4. Not sure, but #1 may also be able to answer.
5. Not exactly sure. Mr Voeltner is greatly accurate and that sounds right. Double check with whomever can work your packet based on #1.
6. See #1. Guidance changes daily. I just completed my ODC board, and I signed a form stating that I would recieve it IF HRC vets my packet.
Sir, do you still have AKO? If not, if you send me a friend request on here with your personal e-mail...I can pass it on to the TPU Branch Manager for the Engineer Branch(he is my former Company CO) and ask him to reach out to you. He is a great resource. If I have your AKO, I would go AKO to AKO to pass his information on to you.
Good luck and Essayons!

UPDATE: The British arm of online behemoth Amazon has matched Asda's discounted Wii U pricing.
Both the Wii U Basic and Premium packs are now È50 cheaper on Amazon.co.uk - È199 and È249, respectively.
Nintendo has yet to announce an official price cut, but the company does not set an official price for hardware in Europe. The console launched on 30th November in the UK and has struggled to gain sales momentum ever since.
ORIGINAL STORY: By George! Asda has chopped È50 off both editions of the Wii U console.
A black 32GB Wii U with Nintendo Land now costs È249 on Asda Direct (via MCV). A white 8GB Wii U with no games costs È199.
That's one of the best new Wii U Premium Pack (32GB black Wii U with Nintendo Land) prices on the internet. SimplyGames isn't too far off with È265.
Last week, Zavvi temporarily lowered its Wii U Premium Pack price to È225, although it's now back up to È275.
Asda's Wii U Basic Pack (8GB white Wii U) price of È199 stands out as well. ShopTo is still cheaper, though, at È190.
The Wii U Premium Pack has a guideline RRP of È300, the Basic Pack an RRP of È250.
The Wii U was released in November 2012. If prices are already dropping significantly now, what will they look like this autumn when PS4 and the next Xbox are (probably) released?

Fear the Hawks? Maybe this time
Updated: May 2, 2010, 7:26 PM ETBy Chris Sheridan | ESPN.com
ATLANTA -- On to the next round, and on to the most pertinent question regarding the Atlanta Hawks: How relevant will their postseason flameouts from 2008 (blown out in Game 7 in Boston) and 2009 (swept by the Cleveland Cavaliers) be in 2010?
Josh Smith, why don't you tackle that one:
"Irrelevant. We've got Jamal [Crawford]. We're healthy, the depth is there, and we don't have to rely solely on the starters to get the job done."
That is the state ...

It's been a long time since J.C. Penney posted positive same-store sales numbers for a quarter. So you might think after having achieved an increase for the first time since the quarter ending July 2011 that analysts and investors would be more pleased with the news. Instead, Penney's two percent gain was seen as a disappointment and the company's share price fell 11 percent by the close of trading yesterday.
Analysts, surveyed by Bloomberg News, were looking for Penney's comp numbers to be up 4.1 percent.
"For comparable sales to be up two percent just underscores how challenged J.C. Penney is," Imperial Capital analyst Mary Ross-Gilbert told Bloomberg. "In this competitive environment, it shows how tough it is to regain lost share."
"While 2013 brought a lot of change and challenges to JCPenney, the steady improvements in our business show that the company's turnaround is on track," Penney CEO Myron "Mike" Ullman said in a statement. "In spite of the significant headwinds facing all retailers this season, including unprecedented harsh weather conditions in many parts of the country, we delivered on our promise to generate positive comparable store sales growth in the fourth quarter."
Were you encouraged or discouraged by Penney's reported increase in same-store sales for the fourth quarter?
I hadn't been to a gym for years up until last week. I can now do 2 more chin ups than when I started. Does that mean I'm in shape? I wish!
2% over what were dismal numbers is nothing to celebrate. Better? Yes. But just like me, JCP is still badly out of shape.
A 2% comp store increase after years of decline by itself is not sufficient to declare victory. Two quarters of increase would indicate the changes being made are working, assuming the profit margin is not compromised. A 4.1% analysts' expectation was unrealistic to begin with. Total industry forecast for the holiday was lower, and there is this thing called the internet which continues to take sales away from stores. Until we see more, this is another example of a company having a good quarter, but analysis having unrealistic expectations.
Frank Dell shamelessly plagiarized what I was about to say. Spot-on, Frank! ;-)
Warren Thayer, Editorial Director & Co-Founder, Frozen & Refrigerated Buyer
I'm still hesitant to share Mike Ullman's belief that the turnaround is "on track." The high-level category results suggest the retailer still doesn't have its fashion mix quite right. J.C. Penney highlighted activewear, outerwear, sweaters and boots among its better-performing categories during Q4. But, it's these categories that tend to be staples purchased during mission-oriented shopping trips rather than ego-intensive trend-based categories, which drive trip frequency and margin-augmenting impulse buys.
This is a sign of weakness. We probably had a combined 3% in inflation and population growth. If your stores sales did not grow by at least 3% you actually lost market share. What must J.C. Penney do? The answer is to grow more than 3% to have a gain in share. It's also nice if they can combine that with making a real profit. Since JCP has become an ineffectual competitor, it's unlikely that will happen.
David Livingston, Principal, DJL Research
I would agree that a 4.1% target comp gain was a pretty steep hill to climb, even if it was up against pretty weak prior-year numbers. But the real issue here may be that one data point doesn't make a trend. This company has been so beaten down, deservedly so, it's likely to take a series of quarterly increases before people believe it's real and not just a mirage.
Ted Hurlbut, Principal, Hurlbut & Associates
The forth quarter results for Penney's will not reverse this fiscal or financial year's failures without a lot of financial razz-ell dazz-ell. These results must be real and maintained over the next year or two with a noticeable decline in company debt and increasing net profits for investors to regain interest and make stock recommendations and purchases. It is about the profit and loss statements, not the press statements. At present, Penney's financials are a mess and have been for several years. Business investors don't waste time searching for who, how or why reasons, they are constantly looking for winners and monitoring their portfolios for any sign of trouble that needs to be addressed.
It's a long way to Tipperary(?) as the song says. And it is a long road back for Penney's. This is a good sign. But breaking even would also have been a good sign after so many dismal quarters. Don't lose your senses because Penney's posted one good report.

I think George Orwell - the author and well-known commenter on the retail industry - would described this news as "unbad"...which aptly conveys all the excitement (or lack of same) that accompanies that term.
Positive sign? Is "losing less" than before or versus competitors a sign of winning? It is better than being DOWN versus a comparable baseline - however, it is not time for a parade just yet. Do it another time or two consecutively and it is fair to begin to say that things are looking positive. For now, it is better than what had been their trend and seems to have slowed, if not stopped the bleeding.
The last time I was at the mall it was packed...well except inside JCP. Too bad, because the store looked good and the staff was quite helpful. It just reminds me of how bad things got under Ron Johnson.
That's a pretty big hole that got dug, and as long as it stays positive they're at least heading the right direction. Whether it's enough to get out of the hole is another story.

I'm reminded of Mark Heckman's excellent topic from Monday regarding how to measure retail success. In Mark's discussion article, Irish grocery retailer Feargal Quinn was referenced as treating customer count as his first sales metrics consideration. I wonder if JCP enjoyed an increase in customer count in the last quarter.
JCP can't fight the traditional, street-based sales metrics that historically guide investors. But internally, where their strategic measures and priorities are being measured, I'm hoping that customer count is high on that list.
