Frankly, if I were the parents who started this thread, I might seriously think about telling my kid he can't play trumpet at all anymore! Is this the way trumpet players behave? NOT MY KID!
For myself however, I have thoroughly enjoyed this entire exchange. Beats the daylights out of reality TV!

Let us just get back to the original question:
Parents that do not know anything about the trumpet want to give their son who seems to have a promising future a new horn.
I think it is safe to say that young musicians prefer silver because it looks cool, not because of the sound. Most of us also agree that an intermediate horn in this case is not the right choice as it offers no real playing benefit over a student instrument. As far as the bore size goes, I do not think it makes much difference as a specification. Some large bore horns feel so big you could drive a truck through them, other ones are stuffier than some small horns! In the price category that I mentioned, $1000 - $1500, there are some good deals, but not so much choice on bore size. There have been several reputable brands mentioned, so I think that we have adequately answered the original posters question. The advice of taking someone in the know like the students teacher is for sure sensible and making a learning experience out of a high ticket purchase is certainly good for the development of the child.
Without going into much detail, I think that Lezwoymn AND many others have confused a couple of things. All of the playing traits like dark and light, free blowing and stiff, and whatever, cannot be directly attributed to ANY particular specification. Why, because the trumpet designers have many more factors to play with that COULD make a silver plated horn sound darker (the silver does not do that, but perhaps a brace placed differently, or as in the case of certain Bach trumpets a gold brass bell UNDER the silver plate. The same goes for the reversed tuning slide. Many attribute the "freer blowing" to the lead pipe, when actually the bell brace that has to be moved back is the reason that the player thinks that the horn plays easier (without going into detail: it doesn't. You just hear yourself better because more energy is reflected off of the outside of the bell towards the player and NOT the audience. This is good for a studio situation where one does not play in rooms with a nice sound).
I think that this is useless information for the parents of this lucky kid! If he is in fact plugged in, it will not be his last horn and he will have the opportunity to "fine tune" in 5 or 6 years. Then he can use this horn for marching or big band and maybe a C trumpet for orchestra. it is easy to get carried away when it is not our own money. Let's just lighten up and be happy for this lucky young man!
Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again.
I want to thank everyone who posted offering advice us. I should have included a bit more information, including that although we're not wealthy, we're very willing to make an investment in Mark's future by getting him the best trumpet he can handle: Ideally one that will stretch him without overwhelming him. But we've also now considered that we might do this in two steps: A big step up now and a smaller step later, rather than trying to do it all at once.
I'm glad to hear that the proof is in the playing, and that I shouldn't worry too much about the attempts to classify a horn by its features. That means that if something feels right, we won't get too obsessive about whether the bell is a certain size, or the leadpipe is reversed, or the finish is lacquered. Assuming that the maker is reputable and that, for the most part, you get what you pay for, we'll feel much better just knowing what we know now.
Based on this forum (and the links you posted, all of which contributed to my understanding bit-by-bit), we've decided we'll take a look at a Yamaha Xeno, a Schilke B series, and the Bach 18037 for starters. Because we live near Chicago, and because we sort of like the idea, we'll also look at Chicago Brass Works, just in case.
I'm also glad to see that you are all so passionate about horns; I hope when it comes time to get our younger daughter (she's 10) a new French Horn, what I've learned here will carry over.
And I might just take up the accordion.
Thanks again to all. You've been most helpful.
I am glad you were able to find some positive info here. sometimes these posts get crazy and I am afraid that I hogged the ball a little here.

You have sucessfully filtered out what you needed here. Congratulations! I think you should also have your son try the Yamaha 8310Z Bobby Shew horn. It is light and versatile like the Schilkes. The Bach, an accepted standard, is heavier, and I find mine to be a bit stuffy in the upper register - that may be particular to this specific instrument. I have both a Schilke B2 and an 8310Z and either is less stuffy up high than the Bach.
Nothing is more contagious or tenacious than music. Once you are exposed it gets inside you and you can never get rid of it. It is also non-discriminating. It can be Ride of the Valkyries, In a Gadda da Vida, the Jeopardy 15 second thinking tune, your most disliked commercial jingle - it doesn't matter. Once triggered, off you go, like it or not.
Good afternoon original poster.
I made a price check down here in St. Louis.
Bach $2095 every horn on the shelf, all professional models, low inventory.
Xeno $1600 more or less
Jupiter $1400
No Getzen's on the shelf.
I like your idea of visiting Schilke. Here is my observation from playing Schilke at the International Trumpet Guild Conference. The B7 and the B2 play with the same effort as my large bore Bach Strad with reverse lead pipe.
I like those Schilke's.
The B7 has a medium bore with Large Bell.
The B2 has a Medium Large Bore with a Medium Bell.
If you can snag a B7 for your 12 year old I would hope he would like it. When he gets to high school and puts on some lung capacity he may like a B2.
His college teachers at Northwestern may lean toward a Bach.
I would suggest in the short term he stay with Medium or Medium large bore instruments. He will be able to tell which is best by playing them. So take along one of his exercise books and make him play an etude on each horn.
A 12 year old should have a lacquered brass horn. Silver has to be polished.
Sorry, I thought the Xeno was a little restricted, like playing a Conn Victor cornet.

The line service technician is a position that is employed exclusively by flight support companies. These companies generally prefer applicants who have a high school diploma or GED and at least a few months of experience, but some are willing to train new workers on the job. Applicants must also have a valid driver's license in the state in which they work.Read More...
Line service technicians generally work in airports and will be on their feet and moving around in vehicles for most of the day. Their main responsibilities involve towing aircraft from arriving or departing areas, supplying fuel, and loading and offloading baggage or cargo depending on the type of aircraft. These technicians may also need to supply particular aircraft with oxygen or water, clean their lavatories and ensure they are ready for passengers, and help de-ice their exteriors during the winter.
Generally, several line service technicians work together on specific aircraft and report to a supervisor who assigns duties and responsibilities to each of them. Those in this position must have good communication skills, as they will often be required to work with customers/passengers to ensure an ideal flight experience.
Line Service Technicians flock to Signature Flight Support for generous paychecks, where average earnings of $36K lead the pack in compensation.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Line Service Technicians with a rich background of experience are typically rewarded with larger paychecks. People who have worked for fewer than five years bring home $26K on average. Median compensation in the five-to-10 year group, however, is higher at approximately $31K. The average pay reported by folks with 10 to 20 years of experience is around $41K. Line Service Technicians who surpass 20 years on the job report pay that isn't higher than those with 10 to 20 years.

Hahaha, the rap game, motherfucker!

I'm never fucked up to where I can't whoop yo' ass
Your neck'll get snapped with bare hands; fuck music

I'm scandalous, I'll blow your two kids off the atlas

But I'm thankful for that, don't mistaken me, black

Juan de Herrera
|This article does not cite any sources. (September 2009) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
|Juan de Herrera
Roiz, Valdáliga, Cantabria, Spain
|15 January 1597
Madrid, Spain
|Alma mater
|University of Valladolid
|El Escorial
Royal Palace of Aranjuez
Valladolid Cathedral
Juan de Herrera (1530 – 15 January 1597) was a Spanish architect, mathematician and geometrician.
One of the most outstanding Spanish architects in the 16th century, Herrera represents the peak of the Renaissance in Spain. His sober style was fully developed in buildings like the Monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial. The Herrerian style was named after him, and was representative of the architecture of the Spanish Empire of Philip II and his Austrian successors.
As a Renaissance man, Herrera was interested in all the branches of knowledge of his times. His Discurso sobre la figura cúbica (Discussion of the Cubic form) tells us about his notable knowledge about geometry and mathematics. He also participated in the military campaigns of Charles V in Germany, Flanders and Italy.
Juan de Herrera completed his studies at the University of Valladolid in the spring of 1548. He started his architectural career in 1561 with the works in the Royal Palace of Aranjuez, following it in 1562 with Libro del saber de astronomía (The Book of Astronomical Knowledge).
In 1563 he started to work under Juan Bautista de Toledo in the construction of El Escorial. After the death of de Toledo in 1567, Herrera became the director architect of the works, enlarging the plan, building the monumental western façade, the central Basilica and the pavilion of the Patio de los Evangelistas (Court of the Evangelists), and modifying the construction techniques and roofing. Stylistically, he changed the image of the façades and introducing his personal sober style. The main keys of his design are the impressive horizontal unified composition and the use of bare granite, omitting the classical orders for large surface. This style introduced in the monastery influenced Spanish architecture for over a century with the name of Herrerian style.
The plans of the Cathedral of Valladolid and the Archivo General de Indias were also designed by him. He was the original designer for the Plaza Mayor in Madrid.
As instructed in his 1584 will, his sepulchre is located in the Church of San Juan Bautista, in Maliaño, Cantabria.
Main works[edit]
- Palacio Real de Aranjuez (1561)
- El Escorial (1563)
- Palacio de El Quexigal (1563), building since disappeared, built in Robledo de Chavela (Madrid)
- South Façade of the Alcázar de Toledo (1571–1585)
- Casa Consistorial de Toledo (1575)
- Puente de Segovia in Madrid (1582-1584)
- Design of the Lonja de Sevilla, current Archivo de Indias (1583)
- Valladolid Cathedral (1589)
- Real Aposento de Torrelodones (1589), building since disappeared, built in Torrelodones.
- Puerta de Triana (1588) (demolished). One of the gates of the Walls of Seville.

The New York Mets of 2011 could be buyers or sellers at the trade deadline.
They probably won't have their ace, Johan Santana until the All-Star Break, so the question becomes whether Mike Pelfrey, Chris Young, Jon Niese and RA Dickey can keep the team afloat until then.
If they can't keep the Mets in contention, there could be a firesale in New York with a ton of pieces that would help clubs in the playoff hunt. Among them is shortstop Jose Reyes, who is owed $11 million in the last year of a four-year, $23 million deal.
But why would the Mets move their superstar leadoff man?

New shop caters to the unique
WHEELING – In the Centre Market area of Wheeling is a small little shop where the owner is doing things her own way. Nancy Bonnesen is the owner of the unique little shop nestled among the many antique stores called Shabby2Chic.
"Shabby chic is basically what you want it to be. I define shabby chic as just giving new life or new look to something really old, that's how I define it. I love just old pieces to re-do and give them a new life."
After working many years working in the medical field as a X-ray technician, Bonnesen had enough. With that and a push from her husband, Larry, who serves as her head cashier, she opened Shabby2Chic six weeks ago.
"I've always loved doing something like this. My mother had a gift shop, my sister had a gift shop and I always helped them out. I just never had the support to do it on my own until Larry," said Bonnesen. "With all the pressures of the medical and everything got to me and since this is like a therapy to me, he decided that I should open my own shop."
Bonnesen claims she has always done her own style whether it is in her shop or house, she claims to never follow the book, combining unique pieces together such as a Chinese table and Queen Anne chairs.
When wondering through the shop, one can see a variety of items ranging tea pots to pillows to some of Bonnesen own creations. Each item carefully selected for her clientele, which ranges from the young to old. Many of the items her shops are vintage or refurbished picked up at auctions and sales.
Before Bonnesen set up shop, she would decorate for weddings and parties, which is something that she is still continuing, along with doing floral center pieces.
"That's when I started to get the gumption to do it on my own, because everything I was doing was flying out the door."
Among the many projects and pieces Bonnesen creates, some include floral arrangements, with an entire back wall of this quaint little shop covered with flowers, wreaths and re-dos and revamps to center pieces and old pieces of furniture, giving them new life.
"I've just always done it, plus my sister, she's an artist," said Bonnesen. "She's the first one that suggested I wall paper a piece of furniture … I still have it in my house today."
In the future, Bonnesen will be working more with silk flowers for rentable center pieces for weddings and table dressings. This will help brides to have the wedding she wants at a price she can afford. Another idea Bonnesen has eyed is the possibility of hosting tea parties for little girls and tea parties for adults as well.
"What I offer is a gift shop. I want people to be able to run if they need a card. Just something to offer if they need a gift right way," said Bonnesen. "It lacks that down here … There's nothing that is really just a gift shop."
But upon closer inspection, it is easy to see that Shabby2Chic is more then just a gift shop, but a carefully thought out and put together little store with an artsy and eccentric twist.

Bradley & Kellan - DylanLucas
Models: Bradley Hudson and Kellan Parker
Studio: Dylan Lucas
Newcomer Kellan is waiting impatiently on the massage table. I would be too if I was about to be massaged by Bradley wearing nothing but a towel. The men take turns rubbing each other with lots of massage oil making all of their muscles glisten. They are both rock hard and start to suck each other off before they start fucking. Having never before bottomed, Kellan is nervous at first but, because Bradley promised to go slow, he will allow him to slide his cock in deep. For his first time, Kellan took a nice pounding and loved it. But, now it is time to return the favor and Bradley needs to get his ass pounded. When you get a massage, sucked and fucked I would definitely call this a happy ending!

New Hampshire waited out Senators starter Blake Treinen, then touched up the bullpen in the eighth and ninth innings on its way to a 4-1 win over Harrisburg Saturday night at Metro Bank Park.
The Senators (40-34), who lost for just the third time in the last 11 games, tried to hold off the Fisher Cats with a 1-0 advantage over the first seven innings. The pitching of Treinen and a first inning solo home run by Steven Souza Jr. seemed to be enough.
Treinen, however, was taken out after seven innings (he threw 46 pitches in the first two innings) and the Fisher Cats (34-40) plated three runs in the eighth as Harrisburg used Ryan Perry and Pat McCoy.
Matt Swynenberg struggled with his control in the ninth inning and walked in a run to make it 4-1. New Hampshire's late inning offense made a winner of starter Sean Nolin, who moved to 4-2 after striking out seven against no walks in seven innings. The 'Cats righty gave up only four hits and retired his last seven batters.
Randy Boone swept up the last two innings to grab his first save of the season.
Despite the loss, Harrisburg remains in sole possession of first place in the Eastern League's Western Division after Erie fell at Binghamton 6-5 in 10 innings.
With Treinen's pitch count at 98 after seven innings, the Senators went with the bullpen in the late innings as Perry began the eighth inning.
Brian Van Kirk (2-for-4) singled to lead off the inning followed by a walk to Adam Loewen. After Perry struck out Andy Burns, right fielder Brad Glenn (1-for-5) smacked a double to left to tie the game at 1-1.
Catcher A.J. Jimenez then hit a grounder to deep short where shortstop Jose Lozada's only play was to the plate, but Loewen slid past the tag of Harrisburg catcher Sandy Leon to make it 2-1.
McCoy replaced Perry and gave up an RBI single to designated hitter Clint Robinson.

I'm incredibly excited to share this tutorial with you today! After mentioning that I was in the market for an apron that would be long enough to accommodate impromptu garden harvests, I was introduced to the concept of a gathering apron. Obviously, I immediately loved it! A gathering harvest apron is perfect and was better than what I was looking for!
But if I'm to bother with wearing an apron, it must have a bib. I'm not the tallest of ladies and if an apron is to protect my clothes, it needs to have a bib since that area is more prone to splashes for me than below the waist would be. The skirt is long for plenty of room in the gathering pocket and lined with muslin for strength.
Combine the functionality of this apron with the compliments I've been getting around here on the beauty of it, and I may finally have enough reason to commit to consistently wearing aprons! Until now, aprons have only served as a handy towel for me, but I often have a towel on hand and am apparently too lazy to pull one of the wrinkled balls out of the drawer in which they reside. (To remedy this, I'm going to attach a hook to the side of my hutch to hang these on.)
Update: I'm now selling Gathering Aprons on Etsy! If you don't want to sew your apron, I can do it for you!!
While this tutorial includes the instructions for lining the skirt portion of your apron with muslin to make it a bit more durable, I no longer line mine. I found it just added to the weight when I was gathering and over time it shrunk at a different rate than the cotton so it doens't press nicely anymore.
2 1/2 yards of fabric
1 yard muslin, optional
50″ length of 3/4″ grosgrain ribbon.
I chose this fabric from Hancock's of Paducah–
{Cutting the Fabric}
For this step, you'll need your waist measurement at your natural waistline where you'll tie your apron.
Skirt: Cut 1 at 30″ x 40″
Lining: Cut 1 at 30″ x 40″
Bib: Cut 1 at 14″ x 40″
Waistband: Cut 2 at 4″ X your waist measurement divided by 2
Tie Ends: Cut 2 at 4″ X 35″
Necktie: Cut 2 at 2″ X 35″
**If you would like to download free instructions for an unlined gathering apron click HERE. These directions aren't as detailed, but it does have the instruction in the most effiecient workflow, combining steps in groups that are done at the ironing board & at the sewing machine so there isn't so much going back and forth. I would thoroughy read and understand the tutorial first.
•Pin the right sides of the skirt and muslin together on 3 sides only, leaving the top open.
•Stitch the seam of the 3 pinned sides.
•Trim seam & clip the corners.
•Turn the piece right side out, poking into the corners for a nice right angle. Press. •Topstitch the 3 sides.
•Run 2 gathering lines across the top at 5/8″ & 1/4″.
Next we're going to make a opening in the top of the bib to run the neck tie through.•Fold the 2 side edges under 1/4″, press and fold in again 1/4″, press & pin.
•Fold under 1/4″ on top edge. Press.
• Fold the top edge of the bib over 1 1/2″. Press & pin.
•Stitch up one side, just to the bottom edge of the top fold, across the bottom edge of the top fold, turn and stitch down the other side.•Stitch 3/8″ across the top edge of the bib… leaving an opening for the neck tie to slip through. (This step simply makes the gathering on the top of the bib look neater when the apron is finished.)
•Run 2 gathering lines across the top at 5/8″ & 1/4″.
{Necktie & Tie Ends}
•To sew the necktie end and tie ends, fold each in half lengthwise then stitch a 3/8″ seam allowance, sew across one short end (I did the tie ends on a diagonal), turn, and then down the long end, leaving the other end open for turning.
•Clip corners, turn right side out, and press.
•For the necktie, slipstitch the open end closed.
•Pin the open ends of the tie ends 5/8″ from the top of one waistband section (we'll call it Waistband #1), raw ends even. Baste.
•Hem Waistband #1 sides by turning in 1/4″, pressing, turning in a 1/4″ again, pressing again. (On the piece with the tie end, be sure to hem on the back… away from the tie end.) Stitch.•Pin Waistband #1 to the gathered edge of the skirt, right sides together. Pull up the gathers, matching the center of the skirt to the center of the waistband. (Pin the tie ends together towards the middle to prevent catching them in the next few steps. )
•Sew a 5/8″ seam. Press the seam up so that it will be inside the back waistband section and look neat.
•Press up 5/8″ on the bottom, inside of the other waistband. (We'll call it Waistband #2.)
•Measure and mark in 4″ from the edge of Waistband #2 on each side. Pin the wrong side of the bib to the right side of the Waistband #2 at the marks. Pull up the gathers, matching centers. (The waistband will extend 4″ past on each side of the bib.) Stitch.
(Note: In the following photos I did not measure in the 4″ and had to go back and pull it out and redo this step. Remember, I sew everything 1 1/2 times?)
•Pin the bottom seamed end of the bib to the top of the Waistband #1 on the skirt, right sides together. Stitch a 5/8″ seam.
When you fold it open, it will look like this. (Except the bib will in 4″on each side.)
•Lay the loose waistband flat and pin turned in edge to the skirt/waistband gathered seam.
•Topstitch the waistband on all sides.
Size them to account for the 3/4″ grosgrain ribbon.
• Sew 2 buttonholes on the right and left bottom corners of the skirt.
• Find the center of the bottom of the skirt and sew 2 buttonholes- 1/2″ to the right and left of center.
•Find the center of the waistband and sew 2 buttonholes- 1/2″ to the right and left of center.
•Open the buttonholes with a seam ripper or pair of embroidery scissors.
•Feed the grosgrain ribbon through the buttonholes in the waistband and tie a bow.
{Finishing Touches}
•I cleaned up the waistband edges by slipstitching some of the openings.
•Then I removed the basting stitches from the tie ends that were holding them towards the front.
• Insert the neck tie end through the opening in the bib.

How Scotch Tape Was Invented
Despite the name, Scotch tape wasn't invented by the Scottish. It was invented by a college dropout named Richard Drew from Minnesota who worked for a small sandpaper company founded in 1902 called Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing, later known as 3M. The name "Scotch" itself has an origin story almost as interesting as the invention of Scotch tape.

Striped Electrical Tape Makes It Easy To Find The Starting Edge
How many laps of a roll of tape do you usually need to find the starting edge with your fingernail? Three? Four? You won't even need fingernails with with this clever roll of electrical tape that features a wavy double-stripe pattern making the starting edge impossible to miss — all you need to do is spot the break in the stripes.
Video: Watch Magnetic Tape Fall Like Water
Japanese artist Ei Wada, who was born in 1987, belongs to a generation that spent middle school feverishly poring over cassettes to make mix tapes — until, of course, they were quickly outmoded by CDs, and then MP3s. Now, Ei makes art using the outmoded technologies he grew up with.
Researchers Create Reusable Tape Inspired By Geckos
If there's one animal that's inspired endless scientific research — it's the gecko. The lizard's ability to seemingly defy gravity and walk on walls has resulted in robots that can repair spaceships in flight, and now maybe even self-cleaning reusable sticky tape.
A Notchless Dispenser That Cuts Tape With A Perfectly Straight Edge
There's prbably very few of us who've put much thought into what kind of tape we use to wrap a gift — after all, choosing the paper is hard enough. But there's a small subset of the population who couldn't possibly consider giving a gift that wasn't flawlessly wrapped. And it's those folks who will be ecstatic to discover this Notchless dispenser that cuts clear adhesive tape without leaving that telltale zig-zag pattern on the edges.

Cast Iron Tape Dispenser Guarantees One-Handed Operation

How Many Strips Of Packing Tape Do You Need To Lift A Car?

We Dared to Go: The Astros' Last Home Game of a Godawful 2012, and the End of Several Eras
Photo By Craig Hlavaty
Check out our slideshow of Milo Hamilton saying goodbye and more during the Astros' final 2012 home game.
Astros fans probably knew back in April that they would have a hard row to hoe this year, but even still, every April brings out a sense of optimism in fans, and the unspoken concept that maybe just maybe something great could happen.
The sale of the team to Jim Crane the previous November already had us fans on shaky but oddly optimistic ground. After our first experience with a 100+ loss season, we were ready for anything.

Nearly six months of hand-wringing from fans and journalists would soon ensue, as the team would embark on a monstrously unsuccessful losing season with record-low attendance.
The home team came into the last home game of the 2012 sitting at 50-105, and an astounding 43.5 games back in the division. The season thankfully ends this weekend with a road trip to see the Milwaukee Brewers. (And they've announced their new manager for 2012: Washington Nationals third-base coach Bo Porter.)
But the 'Stros managed to pull out a 2-0 shutout on Thursday night against the St. Louis Cardinals and pitcher Chris Carpenter, which included a Jose Altuve homer. Pitcher Bud Norris stayed in the game until the 8th inning before getting pulled.
Lots of those things are changing before the 'Stros start their 2013 season. Longtime announcer Milo Hamilton closed his 65-year broadcasting career last night, mascot Junction Jack is getting replaced, we're getting new colors and uniforms, and last but not least, we're moving into the American League.
Thursday night's door prizes for the first 10,000 included a nifty J.R. Richard bobblehead and a 2012 Astros team poster, the latter tantamount to the White Star Line sending official crew portraits to the families of the Titanic's deceased.
Fans were attacking the team stores and kiosks around Minute Maid, taking advantage of slashed prices on Astros memorabilia. I picked up a decent enough cap for $10, and got a miniature bat (the kind you would beat younger siblings with) for $3.
It's hard to imagine the Astros in anything not brick red, black, and sand-colored, but then again I still miss the midnight blue and metallic gold crap from 1994.
The biggest crowds were found around the game-worn gear kiosk, with vintage jerseys, helmets, bats, and balls going for hundreds of dollars. Surprisingly, they didn't smell too bad. Not that I was taking long, luxurious whiffs into the armpits of a Sean Berry jersey until a MMP staffer escorted me away from the rack or anything
Houston's heavy Cardinals fan population was out in full force to see their Redbirds, and they were extremely vocal. Transplanted Yankees and Red Sox fans will no doubt be fighting Astros supporters all over the '13 season.
The conductor of the train high above the outfield took time to tip his hat and do a funny dance for the MMP crowd too. His job and train may be gone by opening day next April, depending on Crane's market research this off-season.
During the seventh inning Hamilton helped the crowd sing "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" while throwing bags of peanuts to children below his broadcast booth.
All told, the Astros managed to pull in a healthy crowd of 18,712 last night -- which is a sight better than the 13,516 that came a few nights back. That was the lowest crowd in the history of Minute Maid Park, as you all know from giggly tweets.
The Astros ended up giving Hamilton a winning send-off, sold a ton more merch than ever, and still managed to have massive swatches of empty seats in the outfield, but hey, at least a few lucky couples got some free Paul McCartney tickets.
What next year will hold is anyone's guess, but at least this year is almost over and we'll have new crap to buy soon.

American Apparel (APP) is interesting to me since my business revolves around printing on shirts through DTG (direct-to-garment) technology, and I've previously looked into other industry-related stocks such as Xerox (NYSE:XRX), and Canon (NYSE:CAJ). Frankly, I was surprised to see such a revered brand so down in the dumps, and I was absolutely dumbfounded that phrases involving words like "bankruptcy" and "worthless" were correlated with the brand.
When searching for turnaround companies, there are three major factors I initially look for before getting down and dirty with the number crunching. American Apparel looks like a good candidate for recovery and as a long investment opportunity.
1. A Great Product
First and foremost, in my experience, this brand is considered high quality in the shirt printing industry. Many customers and designers searching for custom shirts specifically ask for American Apparel blank clothing to be printed on, since they manufacture trendy styles and the garments generally feel more comfortable than other brands. This extraordinary demand is especially true for clients developing a new brand and/or boutique.
American Apparel got its start selling high-quality t-shirts to screen printers and boutiques in 1990. Although the company transitioned into a primarily retail brand, it is still one of the largest wholesalers in the country. American Apparel shirts are often used for band merchandise and concert t-shirts. Bands such as Van Halen, Death Cab for Cutie, Foursquare, Vampire Weekend, Metric, and Flogging Molly -- as well as popular websites like Threadless, Zazzle, and Busted Tees -- rely on American Apparel to further enhance their own image, which speaks volumes.
When observing any company's possible turnaround, I always start with the product first. That's the entrepreneur in me. With American Apparel products, we're dealing with top quality and a fashionable brand.
2. Early Signs of Growth
This past quarter, the company reported that net sales increased a decent 9% to $162.2 million due to a 7% increase in comparable-store sales and a whopping 16% increase in wholesale net sales. The adjusted EBITDA was $7.9 million from $7.6 million in the second quarter of 2012. The company is updating its 2013 adjusted EBITDA outlook to a range of $46 million to $51 million. These numbers show signs of recovery and growth from a practically overlooked company, and a good formula for buying in.
3. A Solid Plan
- Opening more retail stores: As Pendulem points out, the company has noted they plan to open 60-70 stores over the next three to five years and believes the company could possibly open up as many as 500 stores compared to industry competitors.
- Focusing on more wholesale: American Apparel intends to expand its wholesale strategy, which is a good move in my opinion. For the last few years, the company has made decent strides in this area and hopes to expand by 25% in the next three to five years.
- Controlling debt: American Apparel completed a refinancing of its debt. The debt refinancing includes $206 million of 13% senior secured notes due 2020 to Capital One and entering into a new $35 million revolver with Capital One (see here) while cash flow begins to improve. While 13% interest may sound high, it is lower than what the company was paying previously.
This is a solid, realistic plan that I can support.
Understanding the Risks
American Apparel has faced much scrutiny -- deservedly so. They are plagued with debt, barely escaping bankruptcy, and have had a serious cash flow problem for years. These financial issues have already been broken down a few weeks ago by Josh Arnold in his Seeking Alpha article "American Apparel: A Worthless Stock On Sale For $2." I urge investors to read this article to properly gauge the risks involved.
The company is also saddled with press backlash due to numerous lawsuits. CEO Dov Charney is a controversial person who has been sued many times, including for sexual harassment. The company has also been subject to these same issues on top of past troubles with undocumented workers and questionable advertising practices. It is highly advisable to read their 10-K and 10-Q.
American Apparel has great potential to be a turnaround success story when observing its core business strengths. This entry point appears to be a good time to enter into a long position, but only for people who can stomach a little turbulence.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.

Germany: Record 40 percent solar weekend29. May 2012 | Markets & Trends, Global PV markets, Top News | By: Jonathan Gifford
Early summer weather has seen Germany's photovoltaic power plants feed 22 gigawatts (GW) back into the grid in a 24-hour period. In fact, so high was production that on Saturday at midday, 40 percent of the country's total energy demand was supplied by solar power.
While political debate and uncertainty still swirls around the photovoltaic industry in Germany, the installations in place have fed a world record amount of electricity into the country's electricity grid. The head of Germany's renewable energy agency (the IWR), Norbert Allnoch said that the 22 GW of production, recorded on Saturday May 27, is the equivalent of production from 20 nuclear power plants.
"There are currently no other countries on earth, producing [through the means of] solar plants, with a capacity of over 20,000 MW of electricity," Allnoch said in a statement.
Contrary to many reports that photovoltaics force up electricity bills for all consumers, the opposite was observed as the solar power kicked in. Called the merit order effect, solar power fed back into power grids brought down the price of electricity over the weekend in Germany. The IWR this is amplified by the fact that photovoltaics provides supply at times when demand is high.
With weak demand for electricity expected leading into Whitsun public-holiday weekend and vast supply of photovoltaic generated electricity forecast, Platts has reported that electricity prices fell dramatically in trading on Friday, May 26, for the whole weekend period. The electricity information provider reported that power for delivery traded at €27.60/MWh (US$34.70), down €90 (US$1.13) cents from the previous day's trading and €4 (US$5) below the previous weekend's price.
In announcing the production figures, the IWR also observed that solar-produced electricity tends to replace expensive gas-fired plants during peak times.

Arizona Men's Basketball Teams Need to Sweep Oregon Schools at Home Tonight and Saturday
Only one thing's certain in this topsy-turvy Pacific-10 men's basketball season: From first place to last, any of the 10 teams are eminently capable of winning on any given night.
That definitely includes the Arizona State Sun Devils and the Arizona Wildcats, both of whom play tonight in Tempe and Tucson, respectively, against the Oregon schools.
The locals are tied for second place, with three other teams (UCLA, USC, and Washington), one game behind the Cal Golden Bears. Oregon and Oregon State are but two games out of first in a regular season whose eventual winner seems destined to be decided on the last shot of the last game.
Upcoming Events

Arizona Coyotes vs. San Jose Sharks

It's actually a lot of fun, if not artistically so great some nights.
ASU plays the OSU Beavers at 6:30 at the Wells Fargo Arena. No television, but diehards can check out the up-and-down Sun Devils on the radio, KTAR-620 to be exact. Like most of the Pac-10, Oregon State (coached by First Lady Michelle Obama's older brother, Craig Robinson) is so-so, but is coming off a rout of rival Oregon last weekend.
If either team scores 80 points in this one, we'll buy you a cup of soup next time we see you.
Down in Tucson, where the Cats are hosting the Ducks at 8:30 in a game to be aired on FSAZ (Channel 34). It's pretty apparent that Arizona just has to take this game (and also its rematch on Saturday with Oregon State) to truly have a shot at winning the conference.
The Wildcats appeared less than even ordinary (being kind) in getting swept up in Washington last weekend, so these two games loom extra-large.
Down in Tucson, though, Arizona fans are talking as much about a Sports Illustrated piece on the backstory that led the school to recently strip itself of a basketball scholarship for the 2011-12 season.
Not a pretty one for retired Hall of Fame coach Lute Olson, who seemed to have lost control of things at the end of his long, wildly successful reign.

What is the alien but recognizable look that comes over Gatsby's face several times in chapter 7 of The Great Gatsby?
3 Answers | Add Yours
That look appears on Gatsby's face whenever he is faced with a truth that he would rather avoid. The first time is when Tom mentions "drug stores". This is a reference to the illegal alcohol sales Gatsby is involved in at various drug stores. The second time is when Tom indicates that a man named Walter has some information on Gatsby betting illegally. The look would best be described as the "hand in the cookie jar" look. These are moments when Gatsby knows that he has been caught out, and realizes he might have trouble holding the high ground in his argument with Tom.
The look that Gatsby's face portrays, is a look of guilt. It is considered an alien look because, Gatsby's face usually shows confidence. But ever since Tom has brought up truths that Gatsby would rather keep in the dark, the look has shown up an Gatsby's face at least two times
I would say that it is the look of bewilderment previously seen at the end of Chapter 5.

Reviews for Little Village Environmental Justice Organization
CMAP (Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning) worked with LVEJO on a detailed data collection project in Little Village. They mobilized community members and empowered them to assess conditions in their neighborhood. The resulting data was useful for planning and development purposes. It was a successful project because LVEJO handled it well.

Can't think of anything
I served as an intern with LVEJO back when I was working on a master's degree in 2007. I pursued an internship with LVEJO based on their reputation for progressive and aggressive advocacy in the area, and as an intern I saw that reputation in action. Each and every one of the staff members and volunteers working with LVEJO daily impressed me with their passion and commitment to the cause of social justice. In the years since 2007, I have continued working in the environmental non-profit field, and can say with absolute certainty that I have yet to encounter an organization that so consistently demonstrates the passion and integrity that the people at LVEJO brought to their work daily.
