Takeaway: Risk happens slowly at first...
Takeaway: SIGMA review for the 16 retailers reporting this week. TGT, DKS, URBN, FL, HIBB, TJX, HD, LOW, DLTR, SPLS, AEO, BONT, GPS, GME, SHLD, PETM
Here's a SIGMA review of every retailer that reported earnings this week. As a reminder, the analysis triangulates sales, inventories and margins. The vertical axis is the spread between sales and inventories -- the higher on the scale, the better. The horizontal axis is the y/y change in EBIT margin. In effect, you want to be either in the upper right hand quadrant, or headed there. The opposite holds true for the lower left.
There are 16 charts in total. The group overall carried on the trends we started to see with department stores last week, where inventory positions are improving across the board. The exception report had been made up of the winners that stood out amongst the list of dogs. But this time, we're seeing the opposite. Target, Dollar Tree ,Sears, Staples and Hibbett are leading the charge for those that are tuning the wrong way. No major surprises there. URBN and GPS are two of the more notable positive turns to us.

Takeaway: Some cracks in the RCL bullish thesis while more positive pivots for CCL and NCLH on the margin
Some cracks in the RCL bullish thesis while more positive pivots for CCL and NCLH on the margin
Wall street darling RCL has seen little resistance this year. Quantum pricing looks good and up until now the RCL thesis looked bullet proof. However, our August survey revealed some discounting in the RC Caribbean itineraries. Stocks trade on the margin and the pivot here looks negative for RCL despite unabated strength in Europe.
On the other hand, the CCL and NCLH pivots look positive, on the margin. The August survey indicated slightly higher pricing for the Carnival brand pricing for FQ4 2014 and FQ1 2015. For NCLH, the Norwegian brand (through mostly Getaway) seems to be reflecting CEO Sheenan's promise of a 3% price increase.
We've been negative on NCLH, neutral on CCL, and positive on RCL. Given the survey results versus current sentiment, we could see the relative performance of the stocks reverse somewhat over the coming weeks.
SURVEY vs SENTIMENT
- CCL: Positive
- RCL: Negative
- NCLH: Positive
We track YoY and sequential pricing for 13,000 ship itineraries spanning across 8 geographic regions. We rely on sequential pricing trends (defined as how pricing has changed relative to pricing seen at the last time the company provided guidance) for price pivot signals.
Our pricing survey for mid-August suggests the RC brand underperformed in the Caribbean and for some Asia itineraries. Meanwhile, we saw a slight improvement for CCL and NCLH due to stronger pricing for the Carnival and Norwegian brands. European pricing, which is Q3 heavy, remained steady.
Caribbean pricing continues to be volatile but in mid-August, the Carnival brand showed higher pricing. In stark contrast, the other brands in the Caribbean fared poorly, particularly Princess.
- Carnival brand
- Sequential pricing rose slightly for FQ4 as well as for FQ1/FQ2 2015.
- On a YoY basis, FQ4 pricing is trending up in the mid-teens for the Eastern Caribbean itineraries and mid-single digit growth for the Western/Southern Caribbean itineraries.
- Princess/Holland America
- Pricing is significantly lagging behind. Princess, in particular, has been discounting aggressively for Caribbean and Western US itineraries for FQ4 2014 and FQ1 2015. Holland America pricing was a tad lower.
- Costa continues to be the shining light for CCL's European business thanks to very easy comps. FQ4 pricing growth remains comfortably near 20%. 1H 2015 pricing comparisons will be a challenge if Costa does not raise prices. Pricing for the other brands were either flat or slightly higher.
- Pricing ticked up for Holland America and Princess itineraries.
South America
- Costa pricing for FQ4 moved modestly lower while 1H 2015 pricing was a tad higher
- Holland America/Princess pricing was unchanged for early 2015
Royal Caribbean brand pricing receded somewhat in mid-August in the Caribbean. However, that was offset by its pricing leadership in Europe.
- RC brand
- A bit of a surprise as sequential pricing turned south for many of the Royal Caribbean brand itineraries for FQ3 and FQ4. The discounting extends to Allure of the Seas and Oasis of the Seas.
- Excluding Quantum of the Seas, on a YoY basis, FQ3 pricing is trending down mid-single digits, while FQ4 pricing is down slightly.
- Quantum of the Seas pricing was steady as a rock
- Celebrity
- FQ4/FQ1 sequential pricing was steady but due to hard comps, YoY pricing is lower by high single digits.
- Pullmantur
- Pricing was steady for Q4 2014 but a challenging start to Q1 2015 due to more difficult comps
- August sustained the pricing momentum seen earlier in 2014. For the RC brand, FQ3 pricing is trending 20% YoY and slightly above 10% YoY for FQ4.
- Celebrity pricing increased sequentially for 2H 2014 with YoY pricing in the low double digits.
- After creeping higher for the previous two months, Anthem of the Seas pricing rose modestly in mid-August for May-October 2015 sailings.
- Pullmantur pricing slightly increased sequentially
- Pricing was generally weak for the RC brand while Celebrity is seeing pricing growth.
NCL has been slumping for much of 2014 due to Caribbean overcapacity. But do pricing signals from mid-August suggest the beginning of an inflection point or a head fake?
- Still discounting in the Caribbean for FQ3 but the sequential cutting has tapered.
- Breakaway cut FQ3 prices to a new low of $91 per diem
- FQ4 pricing showed a 3% sequential price increased led by Getaway in the Nov/Dec months
- This is the 1st sequential price increase since we started tracking the data for FQ4
- FQ4 ship premiums rose for Breakaway and Getaway
- Q1 2015 pricing lower - as expected, due to difficult comps
- Q2 2015 up slightly
- Pricing was stable; few itineraries available
- Continues to be a struggle for the rest of the year
CCL/NCLH outperformed while RCL was the laggard in August, at least relative to recent trends. The Caribbean has been a roller-coaster ride for the cruisers this summer as mixed brand pricing trends are the norm and we may see more volatility ahead. A trend or an outlier, only time will tell.
The good news is that Europe pricing remains quite robust for the rest of 2014 despite the significant global geopolitical turmoil. The question is whether it can be sustained into 2015. While it is super early, we're seeing mixed pricing there as well.
The Carnival brand is making strides in pricing thanks to ridiculously easy comps but it is not translating into higher prices for CCL's other brands. With earnings in one month, we look to September's survey for confirmation of these trends.
Though NCLH performed better in mid-August, we wait to see if it is indeed an inflection point. Remember, CEO Sheehan promised investors a 3% price increase across its fleet during its Q2 conference call. Among the big 3 operators, NCLH is most sensitive to the Caribbean/Bermuda market, and faces harder pricing headwinds in 1H 2015 along with no yield boost from a new ship until FQ4 2015.

Domestic stock funds put up their 16 consecutive week of outflow and are now entering the seasonally weakest period of the year so avoid those equity managers JNS and TROW. The net of total equity mutual fund and ETF trends against total bond mutual fund and ETF flows totaled a negative $1.0 billion spread for the week ($3.0 billion of total equity inflow versus the $4.1 billion inflow within fixed income; positive numbers imply greater money flow to stocks; negative numbers imply greater money flow to bonds).
Indices are broadly lower in-line with recent economic data out of the region. Eurozone CPI is running at 0.4% year-over-year in July, which is the lowest since October 2009. Our quantitative lines of support have been broken across European equities for 1.5 months (the DAX, CAC, and MIB index all remain bearish TREND signals).
The U.S. dollar is up here week-over-week. If it holds above the tail line of 81.44 and continues to make a series of higher highs we may have to back away from our negative view. We will have to see what Yellen's next move is, she speaks at Jackson Hole today at 10:00am (Mario Draghi speaks at 2:30pm).

Hologic is emerging from an extremely tough period which has left investors wary of further missteps. In our view, Hologic and its new management are set to show solid growth over the next several years. We have built two survey tools to track and forecast the two critical elements that will drive this acceleration. The first survey tool measures 3-D Mammography placements every month. Recently we have detected acceleration in month over month placements. When Hologic finally receives a reimbursement code from Medicare, placements will accelerate further, perhaps even sooner. With our survey, we'll see it real time. In addition to our mammography survey. We've been running a monthly survey of OB/GYNs asking them questions to help us forecast the rest of Hologic's businesses, some of which have been faced with significant headwinds. Based on our survey, we think those headwinds are fading. If the Affordable Care Act actually manages to reduce the number of uninsured, Hologic is one of the best positioned companies. |
The level of activism in the restaurant industry has never been more rampant. In the past year alone, we've seen CBRL, DAVE, DRI, BJRI and BOBE attract largely uninvited attention from these investors. BOBE has a long history of mismanagement, evidenced by flawed strategic rationale, an excessively bloated cost structure and severe underperformance relative to peers. Fortunately, its poor operating performance presents a tremendous opportunity. We believe activist investor Sandell has identified significant, largely feasible, opportunities to enhance shareholder value. Particularly, we see tremendous upside value in selling the foods business, transitioning to an asset light model and refocusing capital allocation. |
Fixed income continues to be our favorite asset class, so it should come as no surprise to see us rotate into the Shares 20+ Year Treasury Bond Fund (TLT) on the long side. In conjunction with our #Q3Slowing macro theme, we think the slope of domestic economic growth is poised to roll over here in the third quarter. In the context of what may be flat-to-decelerating reported inflation, we think the performance divergence between Treasuries, stocks and commodities may actually be set to widen over the next two to three months. This view remains counter to consensus expectations, which is additive to our already-high conviction level in this position. Fade consensus on bonds – especially as growth slows. As it's done for multiple generations, the 10Y Treasury Yield continues to track the slope of domestic economic growth like a glove. |

The A.L.S. Association has received $41.8 million in donations from July 29 until Aug. 21. More than 739,000 new donors have given money to the association. That'smore than double the $19.4 million in total contributions the association received during the year that ended Jan. 31, 2013, according to a filing with the Internal Revenue Service.
"There's a lot of cash on the sidelines!"
-Anonymous Pundit
Outspoken hedge fund manager Cliff Asness of AQR recently remarked "Every time someone says, 'There's a lot of cash on the sidelines' a tiny part of my soul dies. There are no sidelines."
Asness' pet peeve for this common saying implying "this is why the market still has room to run" based on absolute historical fund flows and equity valuations is based on a slightly different interpretation than we prefer to reference. Yet we absolutely agree with his disdain for this statement at face value (although maybe not as pointedly).
With all global market participants attempting to front-run the RELATIVE positioning of each monetary authority, finding the right RELATIVE positioning across asset classes is the key starting point for global macro risk management in today's environment. We strongly believe that our implication of the POLICY metric into our quantitative model for pinning the convexity of growth and inflation is a key differentiator. Sticking solely with a strategy that seeks fundamental value through historical, absolute metrics has been a difficult task during the second half of this 6-year bull market.
In an interview discussing his pet peeves and preferable investment strategy, Asness went on to say that in his opinion, two of the main strategies that have worked over the long-term, are value and momentum investing and that combining those works much better than either one.
Value with a catalyst as we prefer to call it?
Back to the Global Macro Grind...
This is only his high level opinion about what works, but when we look at our own process, we believe it's plausible to back into our own process from this simple statement. We describe our process as "a multi-factor, multi-duration model that utilizes a fundamental and quantitative approach to global macro risk management." The quantitative sequence for buying or selling a single security is as follows:
- Is the slope of growth and inflation in those economies under the guise of central banks with the ability to print money accelerating or decelerating RELATIVE to consensus expectation as reflected in market prices?
- What is the fiscal and monetary response RELATIVE to the other central banks of the "reserve currencies" who, with the confidence of all global participants for now, tighten their credit spread by printing more money? What emerging market economies benefit or suffer?
- What do the effects of a stronger or weaker domestic currency mean for real domestic growth based on the componentry of its growth dynamics? How is this observed to confirm or discredit the tendencies in markets?
- Now with this overlay, what is fundamentally happening in a domestic economy to strengthen or weaken the outlook for growth?
- Which sectors perform better or worse under each scenario (see all four below)?
- With this sector bias, pick your long-short ideas
- MOST IMPORTANTLY, how do you execute this fundamental call (HINT: Some form of momentum?)
- By studying our intermediate-term duration, we can observe key levels of support and resistance to observe the overall TREND in the market.
- If in fact the fundamental and TREND signals match up we manage the risk of the range by buying on red and selling on green on the signals.
Generating alpha in a market that has gone straight up for the last two years is no easy task. Our best way to seek outperformance begins with #1 above. There are simply four main scenarios in our GIP model (GROWTH, INFLATION, POLICY) for real economic expansion, and front-running the inflection points allows us to pick SECTORS that outperform under each scenario:
- Growth accelerating, inflation decelerating
- Growth accelerating, inflation accelerating
- Growth decelerating, inflation accelerating
- Growth decelerating, inflation decelerating
The monetary response to each scenario and the implications for the strength of an economy's real purchasing power is predictable in our opinion, but in this never-before seen monetary experiment, front-running the RELATIVE policy response when the centrally-planned machines of different monetary authorities are confronted with the same scenario is difficult. We believe the best- way to front run the big turns is to take in the relevant economic and market data on a day-to-day basis, and position accordingly.
Janet Yellen's commentary on Wednesday was perceived as more hawkish than the market expected. We weren't "trading the speech" or hanging on every word, but we didn't get any indication she is taking a hawkish turn.
Across the pond, Europe has turned severely weaker out of a strong first-half, and the market over the last month has indicated an expectation for a RELATIVELY more dovish Draghi. The tone in his most recent speech reflected his willingness to stand ready for an ABS purchase program. In fact, he more or less said that he would implement an asset-backed purchase program (QE without the government bond and public asset purchase program) immediately if given the authority.
Both the quant signals and our GIP model suggest Europe may slow for the next three consecutive quarters and the FX and gold markets are expecting a relatively more dovish Draghi.
- The EUR/USD has backed off 1.5% bps over the last month
- USD breakout vs. EURO breakdown in our model
- Gold (USD and POLICY-denominated) is down 3% over the last month
CAN DRAGHI CONVINCE THE MARKET HE'LL BE MORE DOVISH FROM HERE? Unfortunately we don't possess a crystal ball, but our domestic view on overly optimistic growth expectations for the full-year remains intact as it has for all of 2014.
Don't be afraid to take up your USD exposure and put a little cash on the sidelines (When the USD is going up!)
Have a great weekend.

Scientists Finally Map the Female Sexual Mind But Still Can't Get a Date
by DannyGallagher
September 13, 2011 at 7:30PM
Views: 4,107
Women have been one of life's greatest mysteries. How do they think? Why do they have such deep emotional feelings? What would they look like naked, any of them?
Now science has helped move mankind one step closer to finally achieving what men have sought for centuries: the elusive female orgasm. Researchers at Rutgers put together the first full map of the female's sexual mind and published their groundbreaking findings in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, the world's only sex magazine that you actually buy for the articles.
The researchers were able to locate these special brain regions by stimulating each of the female erogenous zone and seeing which part of the brain responded to it with "functional magnetic resonance imaging". The scientists examined the brain regions of 11 "healthy women ages 23-56" to map out the regions. They found that the same brain regions that respond to genital stimulation in women is the same region for men as well. It's always the last place you look for it.

Looking at this picture, I recall the great but somewhat forgotten American actor, Jeff Chandler. He was a prominent actor in the 50's and starred along with Jimmy Stewart in the classic film "Broken Arrow" (in which he played Kochis). I believe that he was of American Indian heritage. A great classic western that I would strongly suggest anyone to check out. P>S. Chandler had a lucrative career but died on the operating table, the result of medical malpractice, in 1961.

MetaGlossary – Two Million Terms, Phrases And Acronyms
MetaGlossary provides users with access to over 2 million words, terms and so on. It works in a similar manner to the Google define: function, though I've found that it tends to be rather more comprehensive. Definitions for 'search engine optimization' resulted in 1 related phrase with Google and 15 with MetaGlossary. Google gave a total of 23 definitions while MetaGlossary gave me 85 definitions. To be fair, this wasn't always the case, since Google did come up trumps on some terms that I searched for, such as RAC (I was looking for Royal Automobile Club) and the MetaGlossary failed to find that one at all.
It initially just shows 3 results, which I found were usually enough to give me a handle on a term, but you can expand this with the 'more' option. In situations where a term may have very different meanings MetaGlossary breaks this out with the use of keywords, which I found helpful. Both work with personal names as well, though neither is perfect – Google found one Danny Sullivan (Formula One driver), while MetaGlossary found both the driver and a fictional character from a soap opera. Consequently I wouldn't want to rely on either resource to give me a good overview of an individual, but worth thinking of if you are getting stuck looking for data on a person, though my first port of call would tend to be Ask to see if they had a quick answer/biography.
MetaGlossary is certainly worth using if you need an overview of a subject, or a quick definition, and while it's reasonably comprehensive it's worth remembering the alternatives. As a complete aside, this is the first time that I've seen an animated favicon in operation, though you have to be quite quick to catch it!

Where I stayed
I decided to get up early and go for a walk alone. Time alone as a single traveller is not as much as you would think and I wanted to just wander, aimlessly in my own headspace. I had a lovely walk and made it to the monkey forest where I got to see the monkeys having breakfast with no other tourists around because it was too early - fabulous! Back at Nick's we packed up and then headed to Perama where we to get our separate buses. Trinita was heading off on her way and I was returning to the Ashram. We said sad goodbyes and then it was time to head off.
Arriving back at the Ashram was like arriving home. J

"This is just so cool because what was only possible in movies, is now possible in real-life for a mass consumer product. It's always exciting when something considered 'geek' becomes 'chic'. Not only does this matter in the way a device is charged, but also for human behavior and cognition."
- The new Palm Touchstone wireless charger works on the principle of resonant induction. When you move a magnetic field near a coil of wire, it induces a current in the wire.
- Taking advantage of this principle, the Touchstone creates an electrical coupling between two coils of wire that are not physically connected. It does this with a primary coil of wire in the base unit which transmits energy to the secondary coil of wire in the phone via a magnetic field.
- The magnetic field generated by the base unit turns on and off rapidly, generating a magnetic pulse that is carefully tuned to the dimensions of the wire coil inside the phone. This oscillating magnetic field induces a current inside the phone, allowing the battery to be charged.
- Similar technology is used to transmit power to some battery-operated toothbrushes, razors, etc.
- This explanation is an oversimplification of a very specific field of electrical engineering.
- You'll note that the location of the induction coil is in the center of the device, well away from the antennas that line the perimeter of the phone.

SYOSSET, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — Local rescue workers are keeping a close eye on the crisis in Japan, watching and learning in case of a similar disaster in the Tri-State.
As the wounded nuclear reactors continued to bleed radiation into Japan's atmosphere, authorities scrambled to keep people safe from harmful emissions. Radiation scanners that function much like metal detectors were being constructed to take readings, while voluntary checkpoints were springing up around the country.
Here in the Tri-State, all eyes were on Japan. Mary Mahoney is director of emergency preparedness at the North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System, where their regional command center monitors world events, reports CBS 2's Jennifer McLogan.
"Colored triangle tells us this is a hazmat incident; the others tell us of earthquakes and tremors," Mahoney said.
The staff has spent the days after the earthquake in Japan looking, listening, and learning.
"Are we prepared, should something like that happen here?" Mahoney said. "Do we have the right training, do we have the right equipment ready to go, are we ready to deploy at a moment's notice?"
Their radiation and biological hazards training center is constantly updating and changing, bringing in the most sophisticated equipment, like an isotope identifier.
"A point-and-shot type of thing, and within a matter of a couple of seconds, will identify the actual radioactive material," Mahoney said.
Personal dosimeters can be strapped to your belt to measure exposure, while handheld Geiger counters track radiation on a broader scale – "if a person becomes contaminated from a nuclear accident," Mahoney said.
A portal monitor scans cars and people.
"Any type of contamination on a vehicle or person will be picked up by this meter," Mahoney said.
The radiation and gas detector can sniff out trouble in the air from two miles away.
"[It] feeds it back to a central computer, almost like a remote command post," Mahoney said.
The medical community said experts are constantly monitoring the situation overseas, but that it's unlikely emissions would travel all the way to the East Coast from Japan.
So many New Yorkers are concerned about radiation from Japan blowing our way that they've made a run on potassium iodide pills, which can offer some protection against radiation sickness. However, a seaweed-based supplement, kelp, is still stocked on shelves, and if you are really worried, experts say it can be just as good at protecting thyroid glands.

Remember how everyone was talking about ray-tracing equivalent graphics in games was about two generations out? Well, the newest alpha build of iCEnhancer 2.5 for Grand Theft Auto IV keeps it simple while enhancing the game's general graphics functionality to the point of nearing ray-trace quality. In 1080p prepare to be absolutely blown away.
Known as iCE La GlacE, Hayssam Keilany's work on the iCEnhancer for Grand Theft Auto IV has been based around the work originated by Boris Vorontsov who began modifying various games with his own series of shader modifications known as the ENB Series. Originally I thought Keilany was finished with the iCEnhancer after version 2.1 but I guess he's still at it. You can check out the new alpha preview below and be sure to watch it in 1080p full screen. Absolutely stunning, no? I wonder if any next-gen console games will be able to look half as good as that? In addition to unleashing the new preview trailer for the upcoming release of iCEnhancer 2.5, DSO Gaming managed to grab some high quality, HD screen caps for gamers to drool and oogle over. If you have a computer on steroids you'll definitely want to check out the latest build of iCEnhancer for Grand Theft Auto IV. It gives the game a whole new layer of visual fidelity and it really showcases just how powerful and visually versatile the RAGE Engine really is. We'll keep you posted on when the download links for version 2.5 go live.

Voted St. Maarten's best steakhouse, Peg Leg offers more than extraordinarily tender USDA grain-fed beef. The menu also includes a spectrum of spectacular seafood specialties, daringly decadent desserts, super soups and salads, and a huge appetizer menu that even the most devoted tapas fan would adore. Vegetarians get a choice of scrupulously fresh salads here, lots of strictly vegetarian appetizers, plus a delightful Pasta Primavera -- fettuccine and vegetables. There is a great lunch menu, too. The restaurant moves a few years ago to new, bigger, better quarters to the right of the main Casino entrance at Princess Port de Plaisance Resort.

Abstract |
Detection of Exhaust Manifold Leaks on a Turbocharged SI-engine with Wastegate
Emissions from modern SI-engines are reduced by a three way catalyst.
However if there are leaks in the exhaust system before the catalyst
emissions increase for two reasons. First the untreated emissions leak
out. Second which is worse, due to waves in the exhaust system, oxygen
leaks into the manifold and causes an oxygen sensor offset. The result
is increased emissions as the air/fuel controller makes the engine run
Here a method to detect leakages in the exhaust manifold is presented.
The sensors used are binary oxygen sensor(s), intake manifold pressure
and temperature, and the air mass flow sensor. Injection time is also
used to estimate air/fuel ratio. Experimental results are shown with
measurements from a turbo charged SAAB SI production engine with
Per Andersson and Lars Eriksson

The trade and Guillermo Mota age
Not to offend any of my fellow Dominicans, but I believed that counting out Moises Alou and a few no Dominican Player is really the age they show in the Books. Just do a little exercise and watch a picture of Jose Mesa and tell if he really looks 36? i don't think so.
Only a few years ago MLB had stablished controls to avoid false documentation, but can you imagine an scandal on Miguel Tejada's age? or Sammy Sosa?.
Back to the trade I think the deal will pay off this year and in the future for the Dodgers, I really liked LoDuca, but baseball is not an one man game.

Hola, Raul! I found some Dominican League jerseys on the internet, but man are they expensive! You can find them at www.latinojerseys.com. There is only one Licey jersey on that site - their home jersey. Hope that's helpful for your friend. Tell him that baseball caps are a bit easier to find (and less expensive!)

So every Sunday, I head over to the kitchen to whip up a big batch of food for lunch next week. Yes, I brown bag. And I almost always do it, unless I become too busy to even buy cold cuts from the deli. I do it for several reasons being health, finance, and laziness. Now, you may think that spending hours on a day off to prep and cook five meals at once is hardly lazy. But let me remind you, I hate it when the time comes to decide what to eat for lunch every day. I work in Midtown so the choices are endless. My problem, the more choices, the harder it is for me. So it's much easier for me to have my lunch ready and already decided.
So my lunch for the week: Roasted Pork Loin with Kabocha Squash and Broccoli
This is a relative healthy lunch but really delicious as well. Each of the individual ingredients are quite tasty on its own. They also provide a nice range of textures and flavors for a complete meal. I definitely did not feel bored of this by the end of the week.
First, the pork. Tenderloin is one of the leaner cuts of an animal. It's located on the back and sandwiches the spine. The loin is fairly large. However, the tenderloin is located within the loin. It's smaller and even more tender. Many chefs cut this piece out specifically for specials. The tenderloin may be lean but provides lots of flavor.
However, to add more flavor, I used Hoisin sauce. It's sweet plum like sauce that's really thick. However, a little really does go a long way. So I wouldn't smother it meat with the Hoisin. It would be overpowering. I like hoisin sauce best with pork. I usually use it as a dip for suckling pig.
So here are my tenderloins that I've seasoned with salt, pepper, oil, and hoisin. Into the oven at 375oF for about 30-45 minutes until the instant thermometer reads 170oF.
And this is what the pork looks like when it's cooked through. A nice slight char on the outside from the hoisin sauce. But the meat is very tender and the sauce sweet. Let the meat rest for about 15 minutes before slicing into it. It helps keep it juicy.
And this is what a slice looks like. As you can see, it is fully cooked through because it is completely white. However, the crusted outside added such great flavor.
Next up, the kabocha squash. This vegetable is Japanese and is in season usually during the winter months. Similar to acorn or butternut squash, it's skin isn't really edible but the yellow/orange flesh is sweet and tender. I think it's best when roasted.
I sliced it in half and this is what it should look like inside. Take a spoon and scrape out the soft pulp and seeds.
Then slice it in half again to form a wedge. Season with salt, pepper, and oil. Then into the oven at 375oF for about 30-45 minutes until the wedges have softened enough to bend easily.
Here, you can see that they're roasted nicely with some caramelization of the pulp. Let cool enough to handle safely with you hands. Then take a spoon and scoop out the flesh from the skin. Discard the skin but chop up the flesh.
The squash should be sweet and slightly starchy. Honestly, I like acorn and butternut squash better. However, a little splash of soy sauce made this really good. I liked the contrast of sweet and savory.
And now the broccoli. I learned of this cooking method from the Feisty Foodie. She always talks about roasting broccoli and I tried some of her dish last summer. I really enjoyed it! So I went ahead and did my version of it (my healthier version). Here I have some broccoli florets that I seasoned with salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and oil. Into the oven at 375oF for about 20 minutes until the broccoli starts to char.
Here they are cooked and delicious. They look some of their moisture but that just means it's intensified flavor. The seasoning really adds a lot of oomph to a normally bland vegetable. If you want more oomph, add some cheese which is Feisty Foodie's style. Also, did you know that broccoli is very high in calcium and vitamin C? Yeah, it's pretty darn good for you.
I really enjoyed this lunch because it was really fulfilling and packed a lot of flavor. I was definitely satisfied and happy.

Castle Black
Castle Black is an ancient stronghold and is the headquarters of the Night's Watch.[1] The castle is situated along the Wall between Queensgate to the west and Oakenshield to the east, near the center of the Wall, at the northern end of the kingsroad.[2] The village of Mole's Town is located half a league to the south along the kingsroad.
Despite there being nineteen strongholds along the Wall, Castle Black is one of only three still manned by the Night's Watch, the others being the Shadow Tower and Eastwatch-by-the-Sea. The castle once held over five thousand men, but it now currently holds about six hundred brothers.
The Castle
- See also: Images of Castle Black
Castle Black is not a true castle, as it has no walls to defend it to the west, east, or south. Only the Wall stands to the north. It consists of several stone towers and timber keeps.[1] Beneath the keeps and towers, there is a series of subterranean passages called wormwalks which connect all of the buildings. They are rarely used during the summer, but in the winter it is the only way to travel to different parts of the castle.[3]
Castle Black has a small sept run by Septon Cellador but no godswood.[1] Men who follow the old gods can travel half a league beyond the Wall into the haunted forest, where a small grove contains a rough circle of nine weirwood heart trees.[4]
- The Lord Commander's Tower, also called "Lord Commander's Keep", is where the Lord Commander's quarters are located.
- The King's Tower is a 100 foot tall round tower with merlons atop it, overlooking the gate and the foot of the wooden stair leading up the Wall. The entry door is made of oak studded with iron.[5] Although it is reserved for honored guests and named for kings, no king has visited the tower in over a hundred years.
- Hardin's Tower has a broken battlement, from which stone has spilled into the yard below. It has a severe lean.[1]
- The Lance is the tallest tower at the castle, though only a third of the height of the Wall. It is slim and crumbling.[5]
- The Tower of Guards is the strongest of the towers. It lies next to the kingsroad and the Wall, and guards the wooden stair.[5]
- The Silent Tower is a tower at Castle Black.[5]
- The common hall is a great timbered keep where the brothers take their meals. Crows nest in the rafters.[1]
- The rookery is the nesting place of Castle Black's ravens. Consequently, the maester's quarters are located in a stout wooden keep beneath it.
- The armory is where the equipment for weapons practice is kept. Donal Noye forges weapons and armor here.
- The old Flint Barracks is where most of the brothers reside.[6]
- The vaults, located underground, contain food stores and the library. The library contains records and old books that even the Citadel does not have. Amongst other topics, it covers drawings of the faces in the weirwoods, the language of the children of the forest, and scrolls from Valyria.
- The Shieldhall is a feast hall of dark stone. In years past, when the Night's Watch was much larger in number, its walls had been hung with rows of brightly colored wooden shields. When a knight took the black, his shield would adorn its wall and he would take up the plain black shield of the brotherhood.[7]
- The Grey Keep is another building at Castle Black.[8]
There are a series of tunnels underneath Castle Black called wormwalks or wormways, which connect the various keeps and towers. These tunnels are mostly used during the winter, when the cold and snow, sometimes forty or fifty feet deep, make it impossible to travel above ground.[9] The large library of Castle Black lies along one of these tunnels.[3]
Beside the eastern road from Castle Black is a lichyard with the graves of some members of the Night's Watch.[9] Beside the lichyard are ancient tombs.[7]
The Wall
- See also: Wall
- The gate guards the tunnel through the Wall, which is long, twisting and narrow. Three iron gates block the inner passage. Each of these gates is locked and has a murder hole above it. The outer door to the tunnel is solid oak, about nine inches thick.
- The great switchback stair climbs its way up from Castle Black to the top of the Wall. It is made of wooden stairs, anchored by huge beams frozen into the Wall itself.
- A winch elevator is used to take supplies and men up to the top of the Wall. It is an iron cage attached to a winch to allow it to ascend and descend the face of the Wall. It can hold ten men or an equal amount of supplies. It is located near Castle Black's well.
- Facilities on top of the Wall include a small warming shed for the men on watch located next to the crane.
Recent Events
A Game of Thrones
Jon Snow and Samwell Tarly are trained by Ser Alliser Thorne as recruits of the Night's Watch at Castle Black. Tyrion Lannister sleeps in the King's Tower during his visit to the Wall, while Jon sleeps in Hardin's Tower.[1] Jon and Sam swear their vows at the nearby godswood north of the Wall and are sworn in as new brothers of the Watch.[6] The bodies of Jafer Flowers and Othor, rangers killed beyond the Wall, reanimate as wights at Castle Black. The Lord Commander's Tower burns during Jon's fight with undead Othor when it tries to kill Lord Commander Jeor Mormont.[10]
A Clash of Kings
Two hundred men from Castle Black accompany Lord Commander Mormont during the great ranging north of the Wall. Maester Aemon remains at the castle because of his age. Samwell Tarly reads a report in the library about a brother leading a ranging to the Frozen Shore before Aegon's Conquest.[3]
A Storm of Swords
Jon returns to Castle Black after being wounded by wildlings at Queenscrown south of the Wall.[6] Jon and Donal Noye fortify Castle Black as best they can in anticipation of Styr, Magnar of Thenn. Styr's wilding raiders are defeated in a fire trap at the wooden stairs of the castle.[5]
Mance Rayder attacks the Wall with multiple waves of wildings during the Battle of Castle Black. Jon leads the defenders atop the Wall while Donal protects the tunnel through the Wall. After the death of Donal, Aemon tells Jon that he must lead Castle Black until its garrison returns.[11] Jon is sent as an envoy to meet with Mance north of the Wall. As they converse, the knights of King Stannis Baratheon appear and rout the wilding host.[12]
In the aftermath of the battle, Sam finds the common hall burned to the ground and the wooden stair a mound of broken ice and scorched timbers.[8] Stannis occupies the King's Tower, while the Lance, Hardin's Tower, the Grey Keep, the Shieldhall, and other buildings are also crowded with men. Jon is selected as the new Lord Commander to replace Jeor Mormont, who was killed at Craster's Keep.[13]
A Feast for Crows
Samwell searches in Castle Black's library for information about the Others. Sam learns from Lord Commander Snow that he must escort Maester Aemon to Oldtown and then train at the Citadel to become Castle Black's new maester.[9] Because Stannis Baratheon has claimed the King's Tower, and the Lord Commander's Tower has been gutted by fire, Jon establishes himself in Donal Noye's modest quarters behind the armory. [9]
A Dance with Dragons
Castle Black hosts the army of King Stannis. Jon Snow executes Janos Slynt for disobedience, while Melisandre burns "Mance Rayder". Jon allows thousands of captive wildlings to cross through the Wall to Castle Black, much to the consternation of some members of the Night's Watch.[14] The officers worry there will not be enough rations for the additional mouths. Stannis departs to recruit the northern mountain clans, although Melisandre remains at Castle Black.[15] Some wildlings are recruited by Jon to help the Night's Watch defend the Wall.[16]
Queen Selyse and her queen's men stop at Castle Black on their way to the Nightfort.[17] Alys Karstark arrives seeking refuge and is married to Sigorn of Thenn by Melisandre.[18] Jon has Alys's relative Cregan Karstark imprisoned in an ice cell. Val brings Tormund Giantsbane and his four thousand wildlings to Castle Black, but Bowen Marsh and the mountain clans disapprove of the wildlings settling south of the Wall.[19]
Lord Commander Snow agrees to disperse the wildings amongst the previously abandoned castles along the Wall.[20][7] Jon receives a belligerent letter from Ramsay Bolton and, choosing to break his vow to the Night's Watch to remain neutral, decides to go to Winterfell to confront Ramsay. As he prepares, the giant Wun Wun kills one of the queen's men, Ser Patrek of King's Mountain. While Jon is trying to make sense of the situation, he is attacked by Bowen and other members of the Night's Watch.[7]

This project will conduct functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies of the 30-month-old autistic toddler's neural responses to social and non- social; emotional and emotionally-neutral; and speech and non-speech sounds, as well as to basic visual stimuli. The comparison groups will be mental age matched (18-month-old) and chronological age matched (30-month-old) typically developing toddlers. Each typically developing child will be imaged at both ages; this longitudinal design will allow exploration of typical functional development, itself a nascent field of knowledge. These studies will be among the first to pinpoint functional deficits in the autistic brain as close as possible to the onset of clinical symptoms. | 2008 |

I was asked in Milton Glaser's class to redesign an identity that I thought communicated ineffectively. I chose Zillow.com the online leader in home appraisal and an effective resource to both homeowners and real estate agents.
The new identity I designed drops the .com from the name and updates the "Z" Zillow formerly used which made it seem too playful. -

Last year, I searched desperately for a Jill Sander-ish floral maxi skirt. It was to no avail.
Then out of the blue, while searching for a blazer at Topshop, I came across this floral dress on sale. It was the perfect print and fabric. I didn't even try it on – I had my mind set that it was going to be a skirt.
Got home, cut it up, stitched it here and there and voila!
Wore it with an oversize semi sheer tank and the Umoja Pyramid Necklace from the super talented Melody Ehsani. It's available here.

Similar style tank in a pack of 3 here.

Ridgid is excellent with a life time service agreement -- Bert |
#2 posted 08-21-2012 04:51 PM |
I know it's a little over your stated price point at $230, but the Bosch 1250 is an absolute beast for the kind of heavy-duty use you're talking about. I use a Ridgid like the first one Bert linked for finish work, but the Bosch is my go-to when I need significant stock removal. -- Charlie M. "Woodworking - patience = firewood" |
#3 posted 08-21-2012 04:51 PM |
I would go with a 6" sander. |
#4 posted 08-21-2012 04:54 PM |
I have a Porter cable that is about 15 years old and I have been very happy with it. But at that price point you can get a very nice ROS. Check out the Makita BO6030, or for just a bit more than your budget, you could look at the Bosch 1250DEVS. But for under $100 you could get a very serviceable sander from just about any brand you prefer. These are the top rated on Amazon and there are MANY for less than $100. ETA: CharlesM and I both like that Bosch! he posted while I was typing :-) -- Kay - Just a girl who loves wood. |

I'll be followin along to see everyones 2-cents…. I've been thinkin of getting a a 6" ros myself soon. Sorry I have nuttin to contribute, but, I too will appreciate all responses along with eddy -- Roger from KY. Work/Play/Travel Safe. Keep your dust collector fed. email@example.com |

if you got that many cutting boards. you need to try 150 ro festool my guess is at 3 dollars an hour you pay for it in saved time. tell woodcraft you want to demo it on one of your boards i have bosch and the big rigid sander…they are nothing compaired to this |

I have the 390k and love it. No need to look for a different sander IMHO. -- He who dies with the most tools... dies with the emptiest wallet. |

I have a mid 90's Porter Cable 6 inch ROS, essentially a grinder with an oscillating head. I don't know if PC quality is still there, but Makita and Bosch make great sanders as well. |
#10 posted 08-22-2012 02:28 PM |
Hi Eddy, I thought you had a drum sander but I don't see one in your shop. Wouldn't that maybe be a better way to go? I've seen articles about making them. -- Randy Morter, Phoenix, AZ |
#11 posted 08-22-2012 03:48 PM |
I have a PC 330 speed block and it is absolutely terrific. I've done a couple dozen bread boards and a number of larger case goods—it still runs like new. Light enough to handhold vertically for edges of breadboards, yet powerful enough to tackle sawmarks on oak end grains. While it can be very aggressive, the 1/64 inch orbit will produce a perfectly smooth surface with no marks when using 220 grit paper. It's a quarter sheet which, for me means less tossing of partially used up pieces of paper and let's me get into tight corners. Sells for around $100. -- I dream of the world where a duck can cross the road and no one asks why. |
#12 posted 08-22-2012 03:54 PM |
I have the porter cable 5' random orbital sander. Its a great sander, but I would go with the bigger porter cable sander. I think its a 6' and retails for about $100.00. Its a great sander, I would buy it. Thanks |
#13 posted 08-22-2012 07:12 PM |
so many choices still looking i still would like to put my hands on a bosch. i dont like to buy blind and all i can see for the is internet stores the festool sounds great but a $450.00not incluiding a vac. little out of my leage -- self proclaimed copycat |
