Marcial: Regional Banks' Road to Recovery
Wall Street pros say the rebound in shares of PNC, BB&T, and SunTrust could have further to run
Buy the banks—the regional banks, that is.
Weeks before the sweeping rescue plan that Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson announced on Sept. 19, regional banks PNC Financial Services Group (PNC), BB&T (BBT), and SunTrust Banks (STI) already emerged as the financial stocks of opportunity, as they had become way undervalued.
They became even more undervalued on Sept. 22, when regional bank stocks declined on concern among some investors that they could be hurt by the Treasury's proposal to shield from losses investors in money-market funds, which compete with the banks' deposits. "I think the risk is overblown," says Jeffrey Kleintop, chief market strategist at LPL Financial. The idea behind the stocks' decline, says Kleintop, is that because many of the banks have their mortgage securities designated as "held for investment," they haven't taken writedowns, and that if they then sell them they have to write them down. But most assets are held near their fair value at the regional banks, says Kleintop.
What is more important is the conversion of Goldman Sachs (GS) and Morgan Stanley (MS) into bank holding companies, he says. It means that if Goldman and Morgan want to develop a large deposit base in order to diversify and lower their cost of funds, they would have to do so by buying regional banks. "This means the biggest regional banks may now attract potential buyout bidders, which might help lift their valuations," says Kleintop.
With the fast-moving events in the federal government's efforts to save the beleaguered financial system, the attractiveness of the regionals' shares has definitely grown. Shares of these banks had been in a free fall until the Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board announced the bailout of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac on July 15. Before then, things were beyond bleak: The S&P 500 Regional Bank Index had plunged to 45 by that day, from 140 in mid-February of 2007. The index has nearly doubled since then, to 80.31 on Sept. 18.
Look Who's a Haven Now
Some of the regionals hold a lot of the preferred shares in Fannie and Freddie as cash equivalents to support the loans they provide. The preferreds could have wiped out the regionals had the two giant providers of liquidity to the mortgage market collapsed. PNC, for example, had to take a charge of $80 million.
"Once the deal to bail out Fannie and Freddie came together on July 15, the scope of the problem became clear, and it became obvious that the regional banks would benefit from the continuing operations of Fannie and Freddie, even though the sizable dividend of about 7% on the preferreds has been suspended," says Kleintop. The regional banks now have become a " haven of safety," he adds. The banks' shares are already 60% above their 52-week lows and continuing to move upward. "They are now attractive buys and represent good value," says Kleintop. The Regional Bank Index still has a long way to go to regain its old highs, he notes.
Shares of PNC, whose primary markets include Delaware, Florida, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, have rallied sharply, hitting a new high of 81.21 a share on Sept. 19, up from 49 on July 15. The stock dropped to 75.60 on Sept. 22. But PNC could still post double-digit gains that outpace the overall stock market, says Kleintop. Second-quarter revenues jumped 19% from a year ago, while net interest income, which accounts for some 48% of revenues, climbed 32%.
Although PNC and BB&T have moved up considerably, they are still better positioned to power ahead and outpace their peers, says Patrick Schumann, an analyst at Edward Jones. He warns, however, that in view of the volatility of the financial stocks, "one must be nimble" and ready to take advantage of the stocks' sharp swings.
PNC's 44% stake in BlackRock (BLK), the largest publicly traded U.S. asset manager, is considered a plus, contributing significantly to the bottom line, analysts say. Also a big positive is PNC's low exposure to collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) and structured investment vehicles. That, on top of PNC's relatively good capital levels and low debt ratio of 6.8, helped PNC's strong results.
Richard Bove, an analyst at investment firm Ladenburg Thalmann (LTS), rates PNC a buy, with a 12-month price target of 77 a share. Another bull is R. Scott Siefers, who follows PNC at Sandler O'Neill & Partners. He has a 12-month price target of 80.
Zacks Investment Research puts analysts' consensus earnings-per-share estimate for PNC for 2008 at $4.95 a share, for 2009 at $5.34, and for 2010 at $6.05.
Healthy Deposit Growth
BB&T, which has a large presence in the District of Columbia, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia, is one of the well-managed regional banks, says Eric Oja, an analyst at Standard & Poor's. It remains undervalued despite the stock's swift rally in the past few days, adds Oja, who rates the stock a buy. He is in the process of adjusting his price target of 40 in view of the stock's fast advance to 41.14 a share on Sept. 19 from 32.45 on Sept. 15. It closed on Sept. 22 at 39.23. Right now, it is trading at 14.5 times his estimated 2008 earnings estimate of $2.75, while its peers trade at around 16 times. Deposits are growing at a healthy pace, he notes, and BB&T doesn't have a large exposure in subprime mortgage loans.
SunTrust Banks, one of the largest bank holding companies in the Southeast, mainly in Alabama, the District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Tennessee, and Virginia, provides a wide range of services such as credit cards, mortgage banking, insurance, and brokerage and capital markets services. It had long underperformed its peers mainly because of its exposure to home construction loans. But its stock has since recovered, says David George, an analyst at investment firm Robert W. Baird, who rates both SunTrust and PNC outperform. Despite SunTrust stock's strong runup, to 59.20 a share on Sept. 19 from 45.90 on Sept. 15, the stock still has upside momentum, says George. It closed at 53.88 on Sept. 22. He first recommended the stock in July when it was trading at 30. The bank has substantial presence in fast-growing metropolitan areas in the South, notes George, such as the District of Columbia and Florida.
Zacks Investment puts analysts' consensus earnings estimates for SunTrust at $3.37 a share for 2008, $3.35 for 2009, and $4.51 for 2010.
Some analysts predict that with the recovery in the regional bank sector, consolidation may be the next catalyst for buying their shares, with Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley as the likely acquirers. In the meantime, investors who stuck with the regionals are finally enjoying the fruits of their patience.

WINNIPEG -- Before playing the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday, the San Jose Sharks emphasized the need for a strong start to their seven-game road trip.
However, by 13:01 of the first period at MTS Centre, the Sharks trailed 3-0 and starting goaltender Antti Niemi was on the bench in an eventual 5-2 loss.
"The start was not what we needed in a building that just seems to build with energy," San Jose coach Todd McLellan said.
The win began a three-game homestand for the Jets (35-23-12) and moved them one point ahead of the Calgary Flames for the second wild card into the Stanley Cup Playoffs from the Western Conference.
San Jose (34-28-8) is six points behind Winnipeg, with nine of the Sharks' final 12 games against teams below the playoff line.
"It's a little setback, but it's far from over," Sharks defenseman Marc-Edouard Vlasic said.
Adam Lowry's eighth goal gave Winnipeg a 1-0 lead before power-play goals by Mark Scheifele and Andrew Ladd.
Winnipeg forward Blake Wheeler had two goals and an assist, and linemates Scheifele and Drew Stafford each had two assists.
"[Scheifele and Stafford] are buzzing right now," Wheeler said. "When [Scheifele] is skating like he is right now, he's great to play with. [Stafford] is just so strong on the puck. He makes such smart, simple plays; I think he makes a good complement for the two of us."
Jets goaltender Ondrej Pavelec started for the second consecutive game, the first time since Nov. 20-23, and made 38 saves.
"We got some really good goaltending," Jets coach Paul Maurice said. "He was just aggressive trying to find pucks. He was fighting."
Niemi made five saves on eight shots before he was pulled with 6:59 remaining in the first period. Alex Stalock finished the game and made 12 saves. Joe Pavelski scored twice for the Sharks.
Lowry scored 1:10 into the game when he muscled past San Jose defenseman Brent Burns in the left corner and banked a shot off the back of Niemi's right leg from behind the goal line.
San Jose defenseman Justin Braun's slashing penalty helped create Winnipeg's second goal. Scheifele took Toby Enstrom's cross-ice pass to the left circle and beat Niemi over the left shoulder at 9:39.
The Jets took a 3-0 lead 3:22 after Scheifele's goal. With Sharks forward Melker Karlsson off for high-sticking, Ladd tipped a point shot by defenseman Jacob Trouba past Niemi at 13:01 for his 24th goal.
Pavelski's goal off a long rebound from Pavelec 1:06 into the second period made it 3-1. Pavelski, who had one goal in his previous 12 games, made it 5-2 with 2:25 left in the third.
"Every game right now, if you don't win it, it's a setback, bottom line," Pavelski said. "Nobody in here can hang their heads right now. We've got to get ready for the next game."
Winnipeg led 4-1 7:05 into the second period when Wheeler jabbed a loose puck between Stalock's pads for his 21st goal. Wheeler made it 5-1 with 10:48 left in the game when he batted a puck past Stalock.
Stafford, since coming to the Jets in a trade with the Buffalo Sabres on Feb. 11, has five goals and five assists in 14 games. Scheifele has four goals and six assists in his past 10 games, and Wheeler has a five-game point streak (five goals, four assists).
"I'm just trying to ride this wave as much as I can playing with guys like [Wheeler] and Scheifele," said Stafford, who is a right-handed shooter playing on his off wing. "I feel as though we have some great chemistry."
Scheifele said, "I think we're just getting more comfortable playing with each other. I think we all just want to go out and make plays. We all want to play a hard game, we want to be fast, we want to take an opportunity when we get it."
Jets center Bryan Little missed his fifth consecutive game because of an upper-body injury. His absence placed more burden on Scheifele, who is in his second full NHL season, and Lowry, a 21-year-old rookie.
Scheifele and Lowry took 35 of the 58 faceoffs; Lowry had a Jets-high seven hits.
"I think every line is clicking," Scheifele said. "Every line is getting its chances, every line is creating offensive pressure, and that's what we want. We want a well-balanced attack."
Pavelec has bounced back after rookie goaltender Michael Hutchinson started eight consecutive games. Pavelec defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-1 on Saturday.
"I don't care what happened before," Pavelec said. "Now is now. My job is to be ready whenever I have a chance to play, so that's my job."
San Jose plays at the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday. McLellan reiterated his message from the morning skate that the Sharks will need to bounce back quickly from adversity.
"We're moving on," McLellan said. "We've got to go to Toronto. By the time we [get on] the plane, we should be recharging our batteries and getting ready to play in Toronto.
"Now we get on the plane, we eat, we review the game, we have a good skate [Wednesday], we practice and away we go. There is nothing else we can do. We could sit in the corner and cry if we wanted to, but that's not going to help us one bit.
"If something negative happens, we've got to park it and move on. We have no other options."
The Jets host the St. Louis Blues on Thursday. With 82 points, Winnipeg is trying to catch the Minnesota Wild (85) for the first wild card while attempting to fend off Calgary (81), the Los Angeles Kings (81) and San Jose (76).
Winnipeg could have defenseman Dustin Byfuglien back against St. Louis. He participated in the morning skate Tuesday but missed his fifth game because of an upper-body injury.
"[Byfuglien] was ready to go, and he got through the morning skate," Maurice said. "But sometimes you have to pull a guy back a little bit, and I just didn't think it was the right time for him to come in.
"We want to be sure with [Byfuglien] that when he comes back in, he doesn't go back out again."

Easter Eve 49 Meter Band
So begins the first substantive post here at The Radio Kitchen. Welcome! This blog takes flight from my previous writing on the WFMU blog, specifically my "Adventures in Amplitude Modulation" series which featured AM & shortwave bandscans and airchecks, along with discussions of the content reception. Often, these audio captures were from DXing sessions, creeping along the dial looking for faraway broadcasts. And that's what I'm serving up in this first post.
This is a bandscan in three parts, trolling through the 49 meter band from the coast of Virginia last spring. I'm using my scanning toy of choice lately, a Degen 1103 portable receiver. It's an able and relatively inexpensive Chinese portable, also available as the Kaito 1103 here in the states. The two or three times I've been able to get out of the city for a few days this year, I've brought the Degen and a couple other radios and recorded quite a bit of broadcasting. Some of which will become audio content here at The Radio Kitchen.
While the 49 meter band (5800 to 6300 kHz) isn't the most popular shortwave broadcast band, it is the place where you're most likely to pick up quite a number of signals at night, at least here in the eastern U.S. Somebody new to shortwave radio could be easily discouraged by the paucity of signals on many of the designated bands, especially during the day. However, if you're rarely able to receive many stations on the 49 meter band at night, then you're probably working with a lousy (or defective) radio.
In searching for a bandscan to premier on the blog, I tried to find one with a lot of varied content and ended up choosing this one. In retrospect, quite a bit of the audio of this scan is a bit sub-par. But that's part of the fun, both with this blog and DXing in general. As you venture to push the limits of radio reception you have to be willing to brave some weak signals and interference. I think that's why you don't find online audio accompanying DX logs on the web in general. It's not pleasant listening. My compromise in posting DX bandscans has been to opt for the ones that generally have better audio quality. And I do what I can to digitally clarify the sound as well.
Nothing really cosmic occurs during this radio excursion, but there is stations you might find on the 49 meter band around 11 p.m. EDT. And if you're a newcomer to shortwave, it's important to note that the vast majority of shortwave broadcasting in the U.S. is Christian propaganda of some kind. And when you consider the fact that shortwave listening is far more popular in other countries, it's kind of sad that the vast majority of programming we export on these bands consists of dogmatic diatribes and proselytizing.
Unlike most media programming, there is no foolproof source for identifying shortwave broadcasts. Schedules and frequencies change all the time, often without notice. In sorting out the reception in this bandscan I referred to both the "Passport to World Radio," and the frequency lookup page at HFRadio.org. When I'm unable to discern the reception through those sources I often do an advanced Google search of the frequency on Glenn Hauser's excellent "World of Radio" site. Another option is searching "rec.radio.shortwave" on Google Groups. And sometimes I can't precisely confirm the reception anywhere, but I make a good guess considering all the evidence. If I make a mistake, I'd really appreciate a correction (send me an email), which I'll note here.
49 Meter Band pt 1 – 5950 to 5875kHz 04-09-07 0258 UTC
5950 – Radio Taiwan International (via WYFR in Okeechobee, FL)
It's the end of Taiwan's English language broadcast for North America, relayed from one of Family Radio's Florida transmitters. Very clear and loud. International broadcasters in Western Asia who are serious about reaching the eastern two-thirds of America typically relay their English language (and Spanish as well) from some location in around eastern North America. The most popular relay location is Radio Canada's transmitting complex in Sackville, New Brunswick. And some beam in from Europe as well. In my experience, it seems that the Rocky Mountains provide a formidable hurdle for radio waves coming my way on the east coast or the midwest. On the other hand, I suppose European broadcasts are a more difficult catch on the west coast. And unfortunately, it's what prevents me from listening on North Korean's English language broadcasts.
I think this is the first time I've noticed Christian shortwave superpower Family Radio renting out their equipment to anyone (possibly heathens!). I've often wondered how they afford all that electricity.
5960 – NHK (Nippon Hoso Kyokai, Japan)
5965 – Radio Exterior de Espana (Spain)
5975 – Voice of Turkey
It take some effort to listen all the details in this reception, but you can certainly sort out the spirit of the newscast. The barrage of bad news from neighboring countries like Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran provide the majority of the events discussed. A sad litany of bombings and attacks dominate the news, along with associated political intrigue. There's also some mention of Turkey's pursuit of European Union membership, which has been a consistent topic (with much cheerleading in favor of their inclusion in the union) on Turkey's English language programming for a while now. They want it bad.
The news is followed by a lightweight news magazine featuring pop culture info bits from around the world. Love the cheesy cinematic bumper music.
49 Meter Band pt 2 – 6000 to 6100kHz 04-09-07 0313 UTC
6000 – Radio Habana Cuba
A sweet Cuban love song, with harmonic noises.
6005 – BBC (From Ascension Island in the South Atlantic)
6020 – China Radio International (from Sackville, Canada)
Clear and crisp Chinese programming.
6025 – Radio Budapest (faint Russian w/CRI on top?)
6040 – Vatican Radio (Sackville, Canada)
6050 – HCJB (Equador)
It's a Jesus ditty in Spanish I suppose. Reception okay.
6060 – Radio Habana Cuba
6065 – WYFR (Family Radio) – Florida, USA
It's the Hallelujah Chorus. It's Easter. It's Family Radio.
6075 – Deutsche Welle (Germany)
Until not long ago, Deutsche Welle was an excellent European shortwave news source for North America, with daily English programming beamed here every day. However like the BBC World Service, DW has cynically decided to save money and depend on allotted slots on some U.S. public radio stations and the web to reach North American listeners. This simple decision was a dull kick in the groin for American shortwave listeners looking to balance their news diet.
6090 – Carribean Beacon
Gene Scott was an incredibly unique and strange religious broadcaster who's first claim to national fame was via his California based syndicated TV show in the late 70's and 80's. An irreverent maverick on the televangelism scene, Scott was a seriously educated (able to read and interpret untranslated original biblical text) and a deep oddball scholar (willing to entertain all sorts of off-the-wall theories and perspectives). A true self-made man, Scott built a religious media empire through his surly and passionate on-air fundraising techniques. To get a flavor of the Gene Scott at his peak, check out a 1980 Werner Herzog documentary ("God's Angry Man") online. You can find torrent downloads, or at least YouTube edits from it, if you do a little searching around.
While I believe his national TV presence reached a peak in the 1980's, his ministry remains a fixture on the fringes of cable and satellite TV. However on shortwave Gene Scott is ALWAYS preaching. And for a while, he didn't let his death get in the way…
In his heyday, Scott used to pull in a million a month through his brute charisma It's easy to understand how she opted to continue Gene's money machine on autopilot for over a year, running reruns of her late husband almost exclusively. From my experience in sampling the shortwave broadcasts from Scott's empire this year, it seems that she's been going live (or at least creating new broadcasts) to bolster revenue, and bring the ministry up to the post-Gene Scott era. The website has drastically changed, and now focuses on Mrs. Scott (with a small page on her late husband) and has far less features. It will be interesting to see if she can keep it up, and make the oddball media juggernaut of Dr. Gene her own. Or turn it into something else.
6100 – Radio China International?
49 Meter Band pt 3 – 6140 to 6180kHz 04-09-07 0336 UTC
6140 – Radio Habana Cuba
Noisy and Spanish. A broadcast aimed at Central America.
6150 – Carribean Beacon
6165 – Radio Netherlands
6175 – Voice of Vietnam
6180 – Radio Habana Cuba
That's the end of this bandscan and this post. It's good to get this blog underway and to decorate it with some mildly random shortwave reception. Expect another shortwave excursion sometime soon.

By sgthotdog
from Undisclosed
Bought this after reviewing several 18" dishwashers and am glad we did. Great features and very quiet. We have always had this size so we had to stay with it or redo the kitchen. No need for a full size. This one holds a lot of dishes. as far as install, we had it installed but watched them do it and looked very simple.

Nice Stove
By lilpup1962
from North Carolina, United States
I bought this stove two months ago and I am amazed by the new technology that gives me better control of my dishes that my previous stove did not.
Works as it should.
By biergen
from Michigan, United States
Happy with the unit. Even though we ended up with some warranty work, Frigidaire came through and dealt with issue promptly.
nice features for an 18 inch
By hereandnow6
from Dayton, OH, United States
not sure why people are complaining about it not turning itself completely off. I've had dishwashers for years and none of them ever turn themselves completely off. in my home I have an expensive 24 inch which has every feature imaginable but it doesn't leave a light on when it is done. I wouldn't want one that didn't since you would like to know if there are more people in the house whether or not the dishwasher has clean dishes in it.

Frigidaire 32" Stainless Steel Electric Cooktop
By Cheryl Ann
from Colorado Springs, CO, United States
I bought this to replace my circa 1959 Frigidaire turquoise cooktop because it stopped working. After the new cooktop was installed, it was determined that my electrical supply was the problem and not the cooktop. There is a HUGE difference in the quality of these two cooktops. My new cooktop is built with very thin metal and the cooking elements don't always sit evenly on the stove. The installer told me that's just the way appliances are made these days--even the high-end brands. Given all that, the stove does look good and gets the job done.
Frigidaire 30'' Freestanding Electric Range
By Jon Nitschke
from Great Falls, MT, United States
My dad was a Frigidaire dealer in the late 1940's through the early 1980's. Much of that time Frigidaire appliances were made by the Frigidaire division of General Motors. So my wife and I have bought and used them in our adult lives. This stove replaced a Frigidaire drop in range that we had for about 27 years. I always like to go to appliance repair services and find out which appliances they repair the least and most and which they repair under warranty the least and most. Frigidaire is the least on both counts. Other Frigidaire products I own: refrigerator, freezer, washer and dryer. So from my personal history and experience I have a brand preference for Frigidaire even though it has not been a General Motors division product since sold to White Consolidated Industries then to Electrolux.
Quiet when in operation.

Purchased this item a couple months ago and are very happy with the performance and how quiet it is when running. Our last dishwasher was the small one as well and was quite noisy when running.

Osteoporosis Health Center
When Hip Fractures Happen Again
Oct. 12, 2007 -- Hip fractures are a repeat problem for roughly one in seven adults who fracture a hip.
That's according to a fresh look at a study spanning more than 50 years.
The Framingham Heart Study included adults in Framingham, Mass. Participants got checkups every two years ever since 1948, providing reams of health research over the decades.
Forget the "heart" part of the study's name for a moment. The latest analysis focuses on hip fractures -- and specifically on second hip fractures -- among the study's participants.
Second Hip Fracture
From 1952 to 2003, 481 participants fractured a hip fracture and 71 participants -- almost 15% -- had a second hip fracture during that time.
Most of the hip fracture patients were women.
Second hip fractures typically affected the hip that wasn't fractured the first time.
Death rates rise after hip fractures. It's not that the hip fracture itself is deadly. Rather, it's the side effects of the fracture -- including limited activity -- that are dangerous.
In the Framingham Heart Study, about 16% of people who sustained a first hip fracture died within a year of that initial hip fracture, compared with 24% of those who died after a second hip fracture.
The higher death rate after second hip fractures was partly due to age.
Participants were typically 81 years old when they had their first hip fracture and 86 when they sustained their second hip fracture, note the researchers.
They included Sarah Berry, MD, MPH, of the medicine department at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
Hip fractures, which are most common in older adults, often happen after a fall and are more likely in people with osteoporosis (dangerously thin bones).
The participants didn't get bone density tests, so it's not clear how many of them had osteoporosis.
Berry's team says more research is needed on second hip fractures. Their study appears in the latest edition of the Archives of Internal Medicine.

[This essay was written by Barry Rubin, director of the Global Research in International Affairs (GLORIA) Center and editor of the Middle East Review of International Affairs (MERIA) Journal. Rubin is also Middle East editor of Pajamas Media, and author of the new book, Israel: An Introduction – A.L.]
It is the year 2012, which seems to be going by very fast and is already one-fourth finished. People are walking around with smart phones and all sorts of electronic devices undreamed of not long ago. There has been what is called an "Arab Spring" stoking fantasies about instant democracy. An African-American was elected president of the United States, and that was after his party's nomination, and thus probably the White House, almost went to a woman!
Times have changed.
Yet the hysterical hatred for Israel in the Arabic-speaking world and among Muslims in general has only increased; the philosophy of rejectionism is as strong as ever or, put another way, even stronger. Indeed, it is no longer safe, and certainly isn't comfortable, for Jews in much of Europe and even, for those who support Israel, on American college campuses.
Two examples of how the lynch mobs are out in force in places where formerly they were least present.In previously moderate Tunisia, now under Muslim Brotherhood rule, thousands of Salafists paraded, chanting to kill the Jews in order to enter paradise. The new Tunisian constitution contains a provision that the country could never recognize Israel. Almost a half-century ago, Tunisia's then leader was the first Arab politician to call for recognizing Israel. We're still waiting.
In Morocco, perhaps the overall most moderate country in the Arabic-speaking world, a meeting of the Mediterranean Parliamentary Union was held. Israel, which has a parliamentary system and is on the Mediterranean (I can see the sea from my roof), is a member of this group. Consequently one Israeli attended the meeting. The result was a riot in which thousands of Moroccans assaulted the building and the leader of the ruling Islamist party complained at how the country's soil had been tainted.
I won't bother citing a thousand other examples. But with the triumph of revolutionary Islamists and the throwing down the memory hole of decades of disastrous Arab anti-Israel policies, the Arabic-speaking world is becoming more radical on this issue. It is now joined by Turkey and Iran.
They hate us; they despise us; they want to kill us.

Say what you will about the girls of Sailor Moon, PreCure, and every other magical girl show out there. When it comes to badass costumes, seldom manage to beat out Fate and her fantastic jet black leotard and thigh-highs. Those crimson accents and cape lining don't hurt either!
While she may have aged quite a bit by the series' timeline, fortunately there are still producers out there that remember this girl's roots. While I prefer scaled figures, it's hard to fault Cospa for an otherwise very lovely figure, featuring Fate in mid-battle with Bardiche in the midst of a powerful swing. The calmness of her expression is certainly at odds with the mood though, reminiscent of Fate's emotionless demeanor before she met Nanoha.
It should go without saying this looks like a rather hard-to-miss pick for Nanoha fans, especially for Fate-lovers. She'll be arriving in May and run around ¥9,334.

So I got a flat tire due to a nail, and AAA happened to drop me off at Tires Plus. They said they could not patch the tire since it was on the side wall- ok fair enough. I asked them to plug it, which is a $15 fix. They said they did not plug, and they recommended that I buy two new tires. The only reason I considered this was because I had to make a two hour trip the next day and didnt know if my spare would hold up. I called my dad for advice, and he said that I had a great spare tire- Firestone- that would be able to make it to Augusta and be fine. We decided I would drive home using the spare, and I would take the flat tire with me so I could get it plugged somewhere else. I would then put the fixed flat tire back on my car. Perfect plan, right?
So they put the spare tire on my car, and then tell me that I would be crazy to go out of town driving on it. They said it was severely dry rotted and had terrible tread. I freaked out because I dont know the difference, and I am just thinking that I could get in a wreck or worse. I ended up buying a new tire. They made it seem so severe that I drove the half mile back to work, and left my car overnight since the new tire couldnt come in until the next day. My boyfriend picked me up from work and took me the next morning. I then drove the half mile back to get the new tire. I decided to buy the new tire and still get the other one plugged. I would then have a new good spare. I requested that I bring home the tire with the nail, and they said it was in my car.
I had my new tire on my car, and I was in Augusta at my parents house. My dad asked to see the old tire they did not even give it to me. They lied to me. Instead they gave me the old spare that was in terrible condition. My dad/boyfriend said it had zero dry rot and really good tread (its never touched the ground). I just spent $200 on something that could have been $15. I looked at my bill closer, and they charged me for a tire rotationthat is impossible. There is no way they could have rotated my tires since the new tire was in the same location as the flat tire. Another lie/additional fee! They also charged me the recycling cost of the old tire. I called them up and they still had the flat so I went back, picked up the tire they should have given me in the first place, and removed the tire rotation/recycling cost. The guy who dealt with me looked like a puppy with his tail in his legs. He knew he was in the wrong and did not even put up a fight when I requested my money back. I still had to pay $166 for the new tire (that I didnt even need).
You live and you learn, but take it from my experience that you should not go here. These people are extremely sleazy and are out to make money. If you come in with one problem, they will find five. I also called AAA to tell them not to take anyone there! I got suckered into what they were saying when they told me my life was in danger. Dont let them do that to you!
Oh and this place has an overall score of 7 out of 30. Apparently I am not the only one with a negative experience.

My name is Tom and I am with the Tires Plus Corporate Offices. I have read through your concerns and want to apologize that your service was anything but perfect. In regards to the flat repair, we follow guidelines outlined by the Motorist Assurance Program. You are correct in saying that some repair shops maybe be able to simply plug the hole, however we do not consider that a safe, permanent solution to tire damage. If a leak is found we use a patch and plug system, if the leak is found too close to the sidewall of a tire we can't use the patch part of the patch and plug. A spare tire is suggested to be replaced if below 3/32 of an inch of tread is left or dry rotting has occured due to age or mileage. If your spare tire was neither of these, then I apologize and you are correct in stating it was fine for opperation. If you could please email me at email@example.com with an invoice# or the phone# on your account I would like to see if I can help.

For all the people you see in your workplace, pegging along at a slow pace, working on things that are too linear to test any kind of ability or intelligence of any person and taking care of the same mundane tasks every single day with the sole objective of making a living, there is one thing you can be pretty damn sure of – they are definitely not Geminians.
Of all the great tragedies and maladies of the world, nothing terrorizes the Geminian more than boredom. They are, since birth, used to multitasking. They just can't go about life one issue at a time. Parents might find this amusing, but they should nonetheless try not to encourage it. Doing too many things at once from a young age spoils their sense of style and brings about a trait that is most common in Geminians – superficiality. For them, after a point, all that looks good is good enough. They become a jack of all trades and start concentrating only on the packaging. In some professions such as ones relating to media, however, that is exactly what you need from a person – a little knowledge of almost everything, but not too much. So its not such a bad thing after all. In the workplace, it is important that they have as many projects as they can, so that they may work on whichever they have the mood to work on at that moment.
Alas, this multitasking capability is too innate to your nature – you start exhibiting this characteristic even in your love life. That does not bring a lot of happiness for your partner. This does not always raise issues relating to guilt, although normally it should (otherwise one should think something's wrong). In such tricky situations, what helps the Geminian more than anything else is his/her great ability to talk his/her way out.
On a professional and even personal level, the characteristic of a Geminian is vigor. He/she happens to be restless and energetic to the extreme – that's what gives him/her the resources for all that multitasking. But this can take a toll on the person. The Geminian can never completely let go of things and relax, and this will be the cause of mental troubles.
Why not let us know what you think by adding your own comment! Your opinion is as valid as anyone elses, so come on... let us know what you think.
My husband is a Gemini and I am a Virgo. Wish I had known that Virgos are the worst for Geminis. I think they're also lazy (my son in law is also a Gemini and he is lazy as well). Something had to be done by him to save our home and it wasn't done in time. He can't give a reason why he did not do it. Says he loves me more than life yet tossed us away. I filed for a separation.
Well i used to qo out widd a gemini & he is the rude-est little bastard i ever meet ! Just a str8 up cocky asshole ! But of course he didnt start out that wayy..ugh. But watever. Theyy sayy libra's & gemini are qood toqether but i think thats a biqq ass question mark. But i do hav to sayy the sex widd him was greatttttttt ! 😉
Wow, Maryalice I do agree on one thing I also am filing for divorce. I am divorcing a Virgo man. I built an empire and he consistantly destroyed it with his selfishness. I remained loyal for 18yrs. I find Virgos selfish and have the idea they are above the rest. This depresses a Gemini, who by the way can conquer anything! Given the right partner this ability is escalated it to unimaginable realms. 😉

Breeding grounds update:Late rains improve conditions in some areas
May 28–Significant moisture across the southern Canadian prairies in the last two weeks has improved nesting conditions for ducks in the heart of the Prairie Pothole Region, the famous "Duck Factory" of North America. This precipitation will improve the chances for some later-nesting ducks, but comes too late for ducks that nest earlier in the season.
"Reports from our biologists in the field indicate above-average precipitation in some key areas of Canada," said Dr. Bruce Batt, Chief Biologist for Ducks Unlimited. "This is a welcome boost to species like teal, that nest later in the season. It probably won't help species like pintails, which are for the most part done nesting for the year."
Overall, the 2004 nesting season for waterfowl has been a mixed bag. Some areas have enjoyed relatively wet conditions, while other important areas continue to suffer from a multi-year drought. For a comprehensive look at conditions across the breeding areas of North America, click here .

Anybody watch Teen Mum High, it was on today on BBC2 at 9'oclock. I thought it was very interesting. I was quite impressed with that 13/14 young girl who had her water birth at home. I imagine i will scream and acting like a man woman. She seemed so calm. If you didn't see it check out the bbc website, might be a replay or just some information on the 13-16 yr olds in the pro gramme.
Despite thoughts of the pain...i just want October here. x

it made me cry!!, i was 16 when i had my daughter and i really believe the pain is easier to deal with at a younger age as you have less fear.
i cant believe the amount of people in the room with her, it was a proper family do!
i think the baby was so gorgeous as well, she did so well.
i like to see nice births like that as we hear too many horror stories, hope we all have straight forward deliveries like that, good luck ladies. x

HERKIMER � Pepe Aragon knew Pete McAvoy was a superior talent and a special person.
Now, after McAvoy�s sudden death Saturday night, the Herkimer County Community College men�s soccer coach is finding out others feel just as strongly.
McAvoy, a 22-year-old All-American and reigning national Junior College Player of the Year, collapsed at about 6 p.m. Saturday in his campus apartment. Athletic Director Donald Dutcher said McAvoy was unresponsive and was taken to Little Falls Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
�His roommate said he was on the couch and just keeled over,� Dutcher said. �He yelled, �Pete! Pete!� but he didn�t respond. When word got out, everyone was pretty much in shock. � The team is very, very somber right now.�
Dutcher said a cause of death has yet to be determined, and that an autopsy is being scheduled.
Herkimer College�s Campus Safety department is working in conjunction with the Herkimer Police Department to investigate the death. Neither could comment on the investigation Sunday.
Aragon said he met with the team Saturday night and then had them gather at his house Sunday.
�We�ve spent most of the last day together,� he said. �There were ups and downs - a lot more ups, though. Pete had an amazing personality. He was always the one who lifted us up. He was the character and comedian of the team - a real leader on and off the field.�
Dutcher echoed that.
�There wasn�t a kid on campus who didn�t know Pete McAvoy,� he said. �He was an unbelievable soccer player � and one of the most popular students on campus. He had a presence about him that always had people laughing.�
Aragon said the volume of text messages, phone calls and Facebook comments has been overwhelming.
�Each hour, I find out how many lives he touched,� Aragon said. �I�m hearing from administrators at the college, my children, community members, other coaches. I�m amazed by that.�
Aragon has led the Generals to 10 national championships, including each of the last three seasons. McAvoy anchored the last two.
McAvoy made an impression on the opposition, as well.
Mohawk Valley Community College men�s soccer coach Bob Gould said he was in shock from the news.
�I�m just devastated for Pepe and all the guys on the team right now,� he said. �I never had a negative thing to say about him. I just can�t put this into words. I�m sure Pepe would trade every one of those national championships for just one more day with Pete McAvoy.�
McAvoy, a sophomore from Dundee, Scotland, helped lead the Generals to back-to-back national championships. He scored three game-winning goals in the most recent title run, including the only score in the championship game, earning him tournament Most Valuable Player honors.
Page 2 of 2 - The sophomore defensive sweeper helped hold opponents to just five goals in 18 games. He scored a team-best 15 goals and helped the Generals to a 17-1 record this past season.
�He was one of the best captains I ever had,� Aragon said. �He was our leading scorer last season; I�ve never had that. I�ve never had a player who dominated both defensively and offensively the way he did.�
Aragon�s best memories of his star player, however, are not of how he played the game, but how he treated others.
�He didn�t care if you were the starter or the practice player on the end of the bench. He treated everyone the same. He was an absolute blessing in my life.
�We all loved Pete. Right now, we�re all heart-broken.�

But they also give two very busy girls an excuse to slow down for an evening, curl up on the couch together and treat ourselves to dark Godiva chocolate and carob-dipped treats (yes, the Godiva is mine) and sit in the dark watching true love prevail. At least for a couple of hours, anyway.
One of our all-time favorite romantic comedies is Pretty Woman. OK, that's mainly because she gets to go shopping on Rodeo Drive with someone else's credit card, and what woman doesn't dream of that? One of favorite outfits from the shopping spree is the delicious chocolate and white polka dotted outfit she wears to the polo match with Edward.
And the moment we saw the newest carrier from Lulu Jane (the Long Island Nancy), we knew we had to have it. It is just so classic, so very Julia-esque, that it is simply irresistible.
You knew I'd somehow tie that incredibly long story together in the end, didn't you?
It's quite possibly the perfect puppy carrier for spring and summer. It's bright without being gaudy, it's classic but fun, and it's made of lightweight and breathable fabric so your little pooch doesn't swelter. And the pink ribbon bow on the front of the carrier. Can we say "awww"? What an adorable touch.
The carrier - it needs to be noted - is only rated for pets up to 10 pounds. When Merry lays down, she does indeed fit in the carrier with the zipper closed, but I wouldn't want to risk her by putting the carrier to too long a test. I've carried her in it for short jaunts down to the corner store, but really, this carrier should only be used for teenier pets -- don't try what we tried at home, folks. (Not to mention the fact that my shoulder is usually killing me after lugging a 17 pound dog around on my shoulder for fifteen minutes!) Luckily, the lightweight carrier also makes an excellent yoga bag or beach bag.
Still, the princess does look striking surrounded by chocolate and white polka dots, doesn't she?
The bottom of the carrier is padded, to give Fifi a bit of cushioning during her travels (this padding is removable and washable), and there's also a small restraining leash fixed to the bottom of the carrier that can be attached to your dog's collar to prevent jumping out. The bottom of the carrier features four silver plated feet to keep everything tidy. And the back side of the carrier (opposite the opening for the head) is made from breathable mesh, to help ensure that your pet stays cool.
The bag is very well made, solid and very sturdy. The elegant silver-plated findings like the bone-shaped pull tabs give it just a touch more class. And feature-wise, it's got everything you could want in a carrier. Well, except for the pooch - that, you'll have to provide yourself. :)
Faithful readers will remember that we're just completely in love with products from Lulu Jane. And that's true - but it's for a very good reason. Every product we've seen is solid, well manufactured, and adorably styled with a very recognizable and classically fun design.
Once again, a top notch product from Lulu Jane! If you're looking for a carrier this summer, you will definitely love the Long Island Nancy.

First, when I create a New User in the Add New User WordPress backend, the admin does receive the New User Registration email successfully. However, when someone registers on the site itself via the woocommerce My Account page the admin does NOT receive the New User Registration email at all. All other forms and emails are being received by customers and admin successfully, so that is all working fine. The User is being created when they register directly on the site, so that is fine, but the admin is not getting the New User Registration email.
Anybody else encounter this and find the solution to fix it?

Firm says 375 workers could lose jobs indefinitely; subcontractor trims also possible
General Dynamics NASSCO has notified 375 workers at its shipyard in San Diego that they might be laid off indefinitely starting in late April due to expected cuts in the Defense Department budget. The company said it also might eliminate 290 subcontractors' jobs.
"These actions are the direct result of information recently furnished by the Navy regarding the possible cancellation or delay of maintenance and repair work," NASSCO said in an email to U-T San Diego. "The final number of positions affected will be determined when the Navy finalizes its plans for cancellation or delay of maintenance and repair work. Federal and state law require that NASSCO inform employees of these potential actions now, given the likelihood that layoffs will be necessary."
The layoff warning comes as workers at NASSCO are preparing for Saturday's christening of the Montford Point, a Mobile Landing Platform ship that was built for the Navy.
It also comes one week after BAE Systems issued layoff warnings to 1,368 workers at its San Diego shipyard, which is more dependent on Navy repair and modernization work than NASSCO's.
The Navy has said it could be forced to delay repair work on eight warships in San Diego because of tight funding in the current Defense Department budget, and that deep cuts are expected to be made Friday because of sequestration.

Petition to White House on Gun Control Sets Record
At some point on Friday, "David G." posted a petition on the White House website calling for the Obama administration to produce legislation limiting access to guns. By Friday night, it had collected more than 25,000 signatures, the threshold set by the White House for producing a written response.
By Monday, it had more than 152,000 signatures, making it the most popular petition out of about 105,000 posted since the program began in September 2011. In just three days, it surpassed the previous record holder, a petition created in February asking the administration to pressure Vietnam on human rights issues.
The gun-control petition reads in part, "The goal of this petition is to force the Obama administration to produce legislation that limits access to guns. While a national dialogue is critical, laws are the only means in which we can reduce the number of people murdered in gun related deaths."
The petition represents a direct challenge to President Barack Obama, who has said "meaningful action" is needed in the wake of the Newtown, Conn., mass shooting of 20 children and six adults at an elementary school. In a speech in Newtown Sunday evening, he said inaction was not acceptable, though the only specific thing he committed himself to was working "to engage my fellow citizens — from law enforcement to mental health professionals to parents and educators — in an effort aimed at preventing more tragedies like this."
Administration officials have signaled that a policy response from the White House is forthcoming but have not said what it might be.

Square's move into Australia has gotten off to a rocky start, with Commonwealth Bank only agreeing to lift a security-related block on the mPOS service after an intervention from Visa and MasterCard.
The Reserve Bank of Australia has warned that it will be "duty bound" to use its regulatory powers should the nation's banks fail to deliver on promises to modernise the country's payments infrastructure.
Australian banks, retailers and payments specialists have signed on to a new co-ordination body that aims to step up the pace of innovation in the country's payments industry.
New research from the Australian Payments Clearing Association, shows that as with cheques, Australian consumers are increasingly giving up cash in favour of cards, mobiles and online transactions.
Australia's banks have brought in KPMG to manage a programme to build an industry-wide real-time payments platform by 2016.
The Australian Payments Clearing Association (Apca) says it sees no need to close the country's cheque clearing system, following a year-long consultation with payment stakeholders.
The introduction of chip technology is changing card fraud patterns in the Australian payments landscape, with skimming attacks diminishing as fraudsters turn to card-not-present scams.
Debit card fraud in Australia has jumped over the last year according to the country's payments clearing association, driven by a spate of skimming attacks on ATMs and POS terminals.
Annual fraud figures from the Australian Payments Clearing Association (APCA) show a continuing increase in levels of card-not-present fraud and counterfeit/card skimming scams.
The Australian Payment Clearing Association (APCA) will next month switch on a clearing system for ATM and Eftpos transactions - almost ten years after the project was first mooted.

A traffic stop on Interstate 80 near the Lincoln Airport Interchange, led to the seizure of another load of holiday wrapped marijuana. For the third time this month the Nebraska State Patrol (NSP) has seized marijuana wrapped in Christmas paper.
Around 12:30 p.m., Monday, Dec. 27, 2010, a trooper with Headquarters Troop-Lincoln stopped an eastbound 1998 Dodge pickup for following too closely on I-80 one mile east of the Lincoln Airport Interchange. An NSP canine indicated the odor of marijuana coming from the bed of the pickup. A search of the pickup led to the discovery of several gift wrapped boxes. The boxes contained 42 lbs of marijuana.
The driver and lone occupant of the vehicle, Randy G. Fleener, 55, Talmage, CA was lodged in the Lancaster County Corrections on a charge of Possession of Marijuana with Intent to Deliver.
On Dec. 16, 2010, troopers made two separate traffic stops in which the vehicles held several gift wrapped packages of marijuana. The marijuana in the two previous stops totaled nearly 48 lbs.

Big Island Drug Court clients, graduates and staff spent Saturday morning giving back to the community by sprucing up Makaeo Walking/Jogging Path in Kailua-Kona.
More than two dozen people took part in the effort, which included a cleanup, landscaping work, mulch spreading and fixing and polyurethane staining the path's Japanese pagoda that was built in 2010 and donated by Carol Jean Nagrodsky Tamburo to the Friends of Fitness. A tree planting also took place.
Also present assisting Friends of Fitness were Judge Ronald Ibarra, Judge Melvin Fujino, representatives from the Hawaii County Office of the Prosecuting Attorney, Hawaii Police Department community policing officers, and drug treatment and probation officers.
Grayson Hashida, drug court coordinator, said the project is intended to "allow all of those involved with drug court to give back to the community, to say, 'thank you' to the community for supporting drug court, and to help bring awareness to the Old A Makaeo Jogging Path and how it is important for everyone in the community to get involved in making our community a better place."
He added that drug court community service projects "help participants and graduates realize that they not only need to work on their recovery and themselves, but that they need to make this right with the families, loved ones and the community they live in.
"Most importantly it helps them realize they are of value to this community."
Drug courts trace their roots to a 1989 experiment by Florida's Dade County Circuit Court to reduce recidivism rates among drug abusers through a judge-monitored, intensive, community-based treatment, rehabilitation, and supervision for felony drug convicts, according to the National Institute of Justice. Nationwide, there are more 2,600 drug courts.
Hawaii's first drug court was established on Oahu in 1996 and today the state boasts drug court programs on Oahu, Hawaii, Maui and Kauai. The Big Island established East and West Hawaii programs and began accepting clients in 2003.
The National Institute of Justice reports a recidivism rate of 17 percent to 26 percent for drug court graduates. Without treatment, according to the federal government institute, half of those sentenced to traditional jail or prison followed by probation will be convicted of a subsequent crime.
