Evergreen Solar tries reverse stock split
Evergreen Solar Inc. implemented a 1-for-6 reverse stock split on Saturday in a move to boost its share price above the $1 minimum requirement for the Nasdaq Stock Market.
The stock price had closed at 58 cents on Friday, but when adjusted for the reverse split, Google Finance showed the closing stock price at $3.50. Shares will trade under the symbol ESLRD for 20 days, but revert to ESLR after that, Evergreen said.
The Marlborough-based solar power technologies company said the reverse split would lower the number of outstanding shares of the company's common stock from about 209 million shares to about 35 million shares.
The reverse stock split is part of Evergreen's recapitalization plan, "which is intended to align the company's capital structure with its current business model and to better position the company for future growth," Evergreen said in a press release.
The reverse split was previously approved by shareholders last July, and Evergreen announced a new recapitalization plan in December that the company said would include the reverse stock split. Other aspects of the plan include reducing the company's debt and interest expenses and raising capital.
Evergreen — a maker of solar wafers, cells and panels — has faced stiff competition in the market for solar power products, particularly from Chinese manufacturers. The company is working to outsource its panel assembly operation from Devens to China as a way to cut costs, and it expects a new company-owned plant in China to be fully operational making solar wafers by the end of 2011.
Evergreen said in a regulatory filing last week that it had transferred its stock to the Nasdaq Capital Market from the Nasdaq Global Market in order to avoid delisting in for its sub-$1 share price.

It is needless to say that a new age of technology and development is at the brink of establishment. Any individual well versed in contemporary technological development will agree that data interpretation and manipulation along with multidisciplinary integration is at the fore-front of this revolution. Machine learning is possibly the biggest technological domain under development for the forthcoming industrial revolution. In essence, machine learning is the science of giving power to the machines to take decisions on their own without being programmed.
Machine learning technologies and processes inherently allow machines to undergo data analysis through automated analytical model building. With the help of algorithms, machines learn from data iteratively allowing them to find solutions in gaps without being explicitly programmed to search in the gaps. Machine learning at small levels using algorithms have been around for a long period of time but its implementation on big data over and over, faster and faster has only been a development in the recent decade.
Machine learning has also paved way for more complex and deep data mining and Bayesian analysis techniques. The ever growing volume and variety of data demands computational processing that is cheap and more powerful along with affordable storage of data. Machine learning allows the user to quickly and automatically create models that can analyze more complex data and perform all these feats. This will directly lead to creation of system models that allow more profitable opportunities and avoidance of unknown risks.

The machine learning course takes the trainee from the beginning of theoretical fundamentals to complete application practices. Machine learning is a domain which is completely un-implementable until the individual is well versed in the core theoretical fundamentals. Thus, our course focuses on developing the fundamentals of machine learning which is an amalgamation of statistics and mathematical functions. This is available in both modes of online machine learning course and offline too as per the trainees' requirements.

A year ago that all the smiles and laughters of children filled the air. And out of nowhere it changed into sorrow and pain. And it slowly was erased from the air - but not in the heart.
Then, changed into something new, strangers that soon became a small little family. Newborn little girl appeared, joyful, smiles, and smells of baby were filling the air.
And it just that. A complete one year. Passed. Like a snap.
So, we scattered, we moved, and we left the space - where we gather for months - alone with the memories that left. It keeps the memories, silently. Just like we will remember each minutes of it someday, in silence as well.

Rambling: Shoring up the Soapbox
Now and then someone, says I should run for CSM. I normally stare at them stupidly. After a bit, I wondered, "should I?' and brought it up to someone. I was told no. I was not Eve Famous enough. I have no contacts and I have no chance as an unknown. Those things are true and cowed for my burst of wonder I slunk off and abandoned the topic.
Until it came up again. And a few more times. It made me start to really think about it.
I'm not a political follower of Eve. I watch the aspects of the game with interest but I spend no time in the politics of it. I live in low sec. I love low sec. I write a blog because I love writing a blog. I'm not eve-famous nor have I focused my efforts to become so. I'd have followed a different path. One where I sought more prominence, perhaps worked on more sensational things, or maybe self promoted. I don't know. To me, Eve Politics are something to be sipped while taking the pulse of some areas of the game. While loud and energetic they are not the entire game.
What I do know about myself is that I do love Eve and I do love Low Sec. Last election year I was disappointed when the possible low sec candidate dropped out. While the CSM is an active bunch they have their agendas and their areas. Mangala did reach out to us directly, which was nice. It didn't stop us from being an after thought. I don't have anything against that. Agendas and focuses are personal things. I'd prefer the honesty of an afterthought over the bitterness of a promised focus that was only a lie or the horror of a voice that does not know low sec attempting to speak for it.
But it brings up the problem that Low Sec needs a representative and like everyone else I've been looking around hoping one would appear out of the woodwork. Someone who'd be dedicated to the CSM thing but have a knowledge of low sec. That hasn't been happening and it isn't surprising. The space tends not to attract that personality type. The opinions, ideas, and thoughts are all there but that next step of going out and doing the CSM thing does not appeal to many.
And, I found myself doing something I disapproved of. I was looking for someone else to take care of a problem isntead of doing it myself. It isn't that I can fix everything. My furnace broke two weeks ago. I called a repairman instead of hoping someone else in the house would. In Eve, I've often taken it upon myself to do the things that I want to see done. Boosters. Market. Even writing long, detailed blog posts about the Events such as Eve Vegas and Fanfest. Sometimes you have to do the thing that you want done or at least try to do it.
I've mulled on it on and off for months. Mostly, the entire, "Who am I to do such a thing?" but the answer to that seems to be, "Someone who is willing to try to." Yet, I let myself get talked down about it with a wistful, "I'm not anyone." Yet today, I got tired of looking at my window hoping the magical, charismatic, focused, dedicated, low sec loving, candidate would pop out of the woodwork and announce themselves. I decided that may still happen but until then I might as well suck it up, push away my net of uncertainty and fretfulness and give it a go. Otherwise, how can I say that I tried?
I floated it around and I'm not surprised but still rather staggered by the negativity. Not a, "Haha, Sugar, LOL go away" negativity. More of a, "You won't win." And "You won't get enough votes." and "You won't back a bloc behind you," and "You need a sponsor so anyone will look at you."
It horrified me a bit. Not because I'm some random unknown low sec player. More so because that is the state of the voting. There was such a despondent negativity that I almost hung my head and walked away feeling dumb.
The thing is that I have this bit of stubbornness to my personality. It is at odds with a lot of my nature. It is not malleable or flexible. And, as wave after wave of, "You'll lose," tinted with the wistfulness of, "Why try?" it sprang into existence. Normally when this happens flames emerge from my head and as if a dark beast has climbed from the pit ready to burn the world down before I back down from something. This time it just strengthen my spine.
The thing is that I know it may be a futile attempt. Being a no-body, no block vote behind me, not good at self promotion, and a social wallflower won't help anything. None of that actually matters. It has to be attempted. Someone has to try. And if failure happens, it happens.
I've been around for two elections so far. I've voted each time. I vote for the person who I feel represents the best. They may not represent me but they may have an area that they do represent that I can get behind. I don't vote by popularity or other peoples choices because at the end of the day when I complain or compliment the CSM I can say that yes, I tried to do what I thought was the best thing.
I'm not a politician. I'm not socially gifted. I don't rub shoulders. I have zero sales ability. I have positives and abilities, accomplishments and areas that I understand. I also have things I do not know and I'm not smart enough to not admit them. As I said in Jabber to my corp, I'm a chick who loves low sec and is willing to put the time and energy out for the task. It means making a step, intimidating or not.
A couple of months ago someone convoed me to say that my blog wasn't about low sec. What he failed to see is that what I write is almost always about low sec. Low sec, to me, is more than the semi-lawed area between high sec and null. It has a pulse and a life and people inside of it. It is its own flavor of space and to talk about low sec is to acknowledge all of this. From the logistics, to the market, to the PvE to the PvP. From the Dust Players to the raging Faction Warfare arguments they are all aspects of low sec space. I can't define low sec as FW or Pirates only. There is so much more there.
The game isn't only low sec. I know that. It isn't about CCP listen to my pet project! I know that as well. I know that there is much, much more to the process. Still, someone needs to be low secs champion through it all. As I said above, some talented, charismatic, connected, person may rise up to run for low sec CSM. Someone who isn't me. And if that happens, cool. But if not, someone is going to run and represent it this year. I'll write something better and more professional later, that hits points and topics and all that stuff. But for now, I'm stating a position of where I will be. And if I do this, I'll do it my way.
For now, I'm going to continue discussing if Grimlock would really let Optimus Prime ride him in corp chat. We don't see it happening. He was too prideful and the the trailer clip makes us frown. Grimlock was way too obsessed with being in charge and, "Grimlock this," and "Grimlock that."
Thanks for taking the time to read.

I think you'd be a terrific CSM, and not only will I vote for you, I will help in any way I can. There's nobody I would rather have represent me.ReplyDelete
One thing that's obvious from the CSM 8 video that CCP did (it's shown toward the end of their live stream) is that the people on CSM aren't exactly a bunch of social butterflies. That's OK; it's really not their job.ReplyDelete
Also, you run a chat channel, so clearly you're capable of the necessary amount of social interaction.
The way STV voting works, all you have to do to get a posse is convince other candidates to team up with you, so you end up on their constituencies' cards and they end up on yours. This is how we WH residents got two CSMs despite having the smallest population in game; it's how Proviblock got any representation at all; it's how Mike Azariah got on, by impressing both Ripard and Malcanis enough for them to urge their people to vote for him.
I think you can do that. You have a refreshing distance from the received wisdom of the game, and a good analytical mind. You update your blog frequently, another plus. If you can meet the considerable time demands, you have what it takes.
I'd put you on my slate, and I don't live in low sec.Replies
- AnonymousFebruary 3, 2014 at 8:07 PM
So much of this.Delete
I'll be honest: I have my own person or two to represent me. However, at the same time, there's a whole lot of down-ballot left after the one or two votes I have locked in at the top. That's the beauty of STV systems. Also, IMO, as long as you have a core constituency that puts you first, you can leverage general intelligence and ability to get an idea across to get you enough down-ballot support to eventually get you in.
I have no idea if you'd win, but, unlike RL elections, it doesn't cost millions of dollars and require taking over a year off work. You'd get a place on my ballot(s).
Winning is great and wonderful but not trying is the true point here. It is the thing that I cannot ignore.Delete
- AnonymousFebruary 4, 2014 at 4:00 PM
Go for it. :)Delete
Also, to address the concern about splitting votes concern you mentioned below... again, it's a ranked ballot. Last year, almost everyone who filled in a full ballot ended up having someone on their ballot get in with credit from their vote. (The explanation of how everyone votes for someone is very mathy, and I'm not sure I can explain it myself, but I trust the proof.) Some people only put 2-5 people on their ballots and didn't end up getting anyone in, but that was rare.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."ReplyDelete

While you may have issues with the mechanics parts of the game, you are passionate about the people and know enough to know that you don't know it all and that you can make mistakes. That alone will make you a good CSM candidate and worthy of being on my ballot card. Even if I don't live in low sec.Replies
I'm not utterly terrible with the mechanics. I simply know that others live and breath them the way I do other things. There is an intense technical understanding that some players have. It is something that I respect. Fortunately, I'm not so consumed with myself (or so I hope) that I cannot listen to them.Delete
I'd vote for you and I'm what most would consider a high sec carebear.ReplyDeleteReplies
I'm a low sec bear my dear, we can combine and form a midsec bear together.Delete
I'd vote for you too, Sugar. Actually, you should talk to Mike Azaria about his four or five? runs at CSM (as mentioned above). Mike kept at it until the player base came to realize he was an asset - and one not prepared to put his part of the sandbox before all others.ReplyDelete
You strike me as smart and well spoken. I have no doubt you would serve the CSM and low sec well should you choose to run.
Bollocks to that charismatic self-deprecation while we're at it. You have it in you to be an extremely valuable CSMer. Don't let fear or the possibility of failure deter you. Go for it.Replies
More so than fear it is worry of splitting the vote if it came to that. But then at some point one must stop worrying and just act, no?Delete
Hmmmm. EvE players, by their very nature, will game the hell out of the voting system, so thats really out of your control anyways. We need quality candidates first and foremost though... hint hint... :)Delete
And yes, life is too damn short for anyone to worry themselves to a standstill.
- AnonymousFebruary 6, 2014 at 5:16 PM
With STV voting system, the problem of "splitting votes" is a thing of the past. If I have to decide between you and another candidate, I simply vote for both of you, and one or the other will get the vote (or the next in row if neither of you makes it).Delete
While you don't represent my playstyle, I would love if you ran, because:
* Your writing shows a mindset I can identify with. I am confident that you will make choices I can mostly agree with (even if not with the result, then with the reasoning that led there).
* Last year, I had a hard time to fill my ballot. Ignoring most bloc-candidates and obvious trolls/slackers, there weren't 14 independents left to vote for. The more the merrier. Give people choice!
* I hope you will endorse others, so even if you won't get elected yourself, hopefully the "next best one" filling that role will. Okay, you could do that without running yourself, but being willing to step in yourself will give your endorsements more weight.
* Last but not least, I hope that you will win a seat and you will be a refreshing sight on the council.

Good Luck, Kyle! Put your hat into the ring. What could possibly happen beyond getting a few more eyes on your blog? Oh, and don't hang out too long on the fence; it doesn't suit you.ReplyDelete
I would endorse you. Wholeheartedly. :-)ReplyDelete
- Karak BolFebruary 3, 2014 at 3:34 AM
You have my Talos and my Corp. If you run, I will do some campaigning in the german community, for sure.ReplyDelete
I would vote for you in a heartbeat and my corporate would be behind you too! And I'll also help you in your campaign in anyway! I love your blog and I know you would take it seriously. Please run!ReplyDelete
I would support you as well, simply because you're thoughtful and look at both sides of an issue ... and disdain much of the "nerd-sperg" that pervades EVE, and, I'm sure, the CSM too.ReplyDelete
Having someone on the CSM who doesn't have an agenda to grind and can look at things from both sides of the equation would be a real asset.
CCP is frequently a victim of their own Kool-Aid as much as they are the Law of Unintended Consequences, and someone who can stop and think about something for a bit, then lay down pointed feedback, including the potential "exploits" and "unintended consequences" in a calm, rational manner is just what they need.
Sadly, knee-jerk nerd-sperg is what most of the playerbase is about, and as with any democracy, the "leadership" is only as good as the "electorate".
As I said, though, you have my support should you decide to run.Replies
Sadly, there will probably be unpleasantness. It makes me sigh but everyone is here for their own reason.Delete
As for being open minded, I often say, "The world does not revolve around me." It seems silly to ignore everything else for my own ego.

You have the votes of this high sec carebear noob!ReplyDelete
Understand if you choose not to run Sugar, but you're my first vote if you do. You get EVE and respect that those of us that play all have different styles. That is everything I want in my CSM reps.ReplyDelete
If you run check your account status. Is Sugar on your media account? Some people have had issues about running like that.ReplyDelete
Also, you do have a small victory getting something changed in the game already. That counts for something.Replies
Right now she got kicked out due to the reset bug. If they still have weirdness about it I'll ask for removal if it gets reinstated.Delete
I will say that its beyond silly for a fan site to have running issues like that. I know its been said before. I have a handful of other accounts as well making it even sillier.

If you do have the time to take away from your RL and if you are willing to "out" your RL name - go for it.ReplyDelete
The blog alone makes you "eve-famous" enough to get somewhere.
And your open-mindedness and willingness to work hard makes you a good candidate - even for someone playing the game ina completely different way from yourself.
- AnonymousFebruary 6, 2014 at 4:11 AM
Great post, am looking forward to more, with luck you can bring the idea's you want to support to the hi-sec carebears like me and with mutual interests move forward gaining support and get elected. Keep the fire burning!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 6, 2014 at 9:32 AM
Having lurked and read for my entire 1+ year EVE career, I would be more comfortable with you as my CSM representative than anyone else I know. You would have my (and all my alts') vote(s), and I'd probably convince a couple of friends who normally might not vote to support you, too.ReplyDelete
I think you underrate yourself as just "the low-sec candidate". To me you're really a well-rounded player's candidate -- you do or have done with genuine interest a wide range of EVE activities, often with an uncommon approach. I think this is somewhat unusual, and would let you offer an informed perspective on a broad range of issues.
- AnonymousFebruary 6, 2014 at 9:45 AM
Gevlon suggests that you being "a lowsec pirate who likes frigs" are negatives. To me, they are positives. In fact, to me, you are all positives.ReplyDelete
Do make sure you want to make the time commitment, because I think we all want a happy Sugar more than we want a better CSM representative. But if you think you would like doing it, go for it.

Who says being tech-oriented or well connected actually helps being a good representative.
It might help argue with a dev or get you elected but I believe it does very little to get you good at being a CSM representative.
The fact that you care enough is a lot more useful.

Scott Dekraai: State Attorney General Appeals Removal Of OC District Attorney From Case
RELATED | 8 Dead in Seal Beach Salon Shooting
RELATED | Suspect Argued with Ex-Wife Before Salon Shootings
Last week's ruling by Orange County Superior Court Judge Thomas Goethals had been stayed until Friday to allow for a possible appeal.
Dekraai, 45, pleaded guilty last year to killing his ex-wife and seven other people in and around a Seal Beach beauty salon on Oct. 12, 2011.
His attorney, Scott Sanders, has been laboring to have the death penalty removed as an option for his client, and to have the District Attorney's Office removed from the case, arguing misuse of jailhouse informants and accusing investigators of lying about their handling of the case.
Goethals agreed last week to remove the District Attorney's Office from the case, putting the state Attorney General's Office in charge, but declined to remove the death penalty as an option.
The Attorney General's Office issued a statement saying the ruling "lacks legal justification and must be appealed.''
"The attorney general believes the findings of the court regarding the discovery violations in this case are serious and demand further investigation,'' according to the Attorney General's Office. "But, as the court found, 'there is no direct evidence that the district attorney actively participated in the concealment of this information from the defense and the court.'''
The judge accused some of the investigators of lying in their testimony during months of hearings on the issue.
"As the chief law enforcement officer in this county, the district attorney is responsible for the actions of his agents,'' Goethals wrote in his ruling. "In this case the evidence demonstrates that some of those agents have habitually ignored the law over an extended period of time to the detriment of this defendant ... The district attorney has a conflict of interest in this case, which has actually deprived this defendant of due process in the past.''
The judge went on to say that Dekraai cannot get a fair penalty phase trial as a result, if the district attorney is handling it.
"This court does not order the district attorney's recusal as a punitive measure,'' Goethals said, but to ensure Dekraai's right to a fair judicial process.
Goethals ruled last August that prosecutors cannot use damning statements Dekraai made to a jailhouse informant during the penalty phase.
At issue was whether investigators lied about how government informant Fernando Perez was placed in a cell next to Dekraai, where Perez befriended him and heard him "brag'' about the Oct. 12, 2011, massacre in and around Salon Meritage in Seal Beach.
Last August, Goethals ruled that serious misconduct occurred in the handling of jailhouse informants in the case, but he chalked it up more to negligence than a conspiracy.
After that ruling, however, Sanders became aware of jail records -- known as TRED records -- that he argued contradicts evidence in the first round of evidentiary hearings that indicated a nurse put Perez next to Dekraai's cell, not sheriff's officials seeking to gather more damning evidence against the defendant. That could have been a violation of his constitutional rights since he was represented by an attorney.

I'd love a button/widget in Android (and beyond) that takes you directly to info for the bus stop nearest your GPS location (presumably you'd be standing at it). For additional precision, the app should use the compass to subtly favor stops with buses going in the direction 90-120 degrees right of the phone's orientation (presuming users face the street or look slightly up the street while waiting for the bus).

February 6, 2000 -- HOME(?)COMING
Overkill, Everywhere
Its Garys birthday and were on a JFK runway about to take off for Antigua. We had a snowy, frigid visit, which didnt endear us to the-place-that-used-to-be-called-Home. The day Pauxatawny Phil crept out of his warren and raced right back in I felt like crawling in along with him.
If youre curious, we are both elated to be returning, but for me there are pangs of sadness. If only I could shrink my daughter into a carry-on bag and take her with me, Id suffer no qualms about leaving New York. Our other, more far-flung, children I am used to doing without on a regular basis, but not having Suey always just around the corner is painful. The two of us spent luxurious time together this week, which makes me feel particularly sad to leave her.
We also had healthy injections of grandchild. We got to see 2 ˝-year-old Ronnie for an overnighter. And I spent 5 days with the triplets including a hectic 32-hour babysitting stint all by myself, with Gary as loving-but-lackluster assistant. (His never-change-a-diaper record remains unblemished.) Meanwhile I maintained their 5meal-a-day regimen, presided over group baths; I cant count how many diaper changes and requests for book-reading and how many hundreds of rounds of "Wheres Timmy?" And loved every minute.
Theyre now 16-months old, but developmentally remain within the parameters of premature babies. Only Zoe is walking, reeling around like a stupefied drunk, but shes frenetic enough for all three. Meanwhile Timmy and Maggie are each crawling off in different directions or theyre zeroing in at the same toy.
Right now there are only small confrontations over shared toys or books. They still dont interact much, but I dont envy Lisa when Zoe, whos already set herself up to be ringleader, dispatches the other two off on mischievous errands. The three of them are breathtakingly cute, look nothing alike and get stopped and cooed over every 10 feet whenever theyre out in the world. Getting them out, however, requires the timing and preparation of an Apollo launch and keeping them amused in their strollers, the entertaining skills of a Ringling Brothers circus.
Gary and I arrived at John & Lisas big new home in Blue Bell, a Philadelphia suburb last Friday, to the icy remnants of a snow storm and threats of an ominous new one to come complete with 24-hour TV storm centers, histrionic anchorpersons and ski-jacketed reporters out in the field, each trying to scoop the other for that first flake. These days as much coverage is given to the weather as to the assassination of a president. Overwrought, not-exactly-news television news coverage is yet another feature of our former life that we surely dont miss.
We did get some snow maybe 4 to 5 inches but not the doom-and-gloom blizzard promised and I almost immediately managed to drive John & Lisas van right-smack into a wrong turn on the way to the supermarket, straight into a construction-site culvert. There I sat, marooned in an icy snowdrift, in my flimsy Caribbean sneakers and lightweight windbreaker all rendering me further aware I no longer belong here. Fortunately, a construction crew was working nearby. Six burly guys lumbered over in puffy down jackets and hip boots and pushed me up and out. As I drove away, one of them noticed the Illinois license plates still on the van, and yelled, "Lady, you sure did make a wrong turn!"
The supermarket was a big disappointment a not-so-peak experience, especially since for the last 3 months Ive been bemoaning the empty-shelved Caribbean groceries, the lack of Costcos and the impossibility of finding a head of lettuce or a bag of carrots.
Since Id envisioned it a peak experience of our visit homecoming, at the first opportunity I volunteered for the food and staples run. Genuardis (its a local Pennsylvania chain, rather like Gristedes in New York) turned out to be a supreme example of mega-market, one that puts to shame the new, much touted new New Rochelle Stop N Shop Super Store.
But, despite the thrill of actually being able to get whatever I needed, I found it a monument to ridiculous superfluity and monumental over-consumption. It goes a long way to explaining why 2/3 (I think) of the US population is considered overweight (or was it actually obese?)
I was already unnerved, as I sailed through the automatic doors, by my recent encounter in the snow: anxious to get in, get out and get back to the babies. And I was approaching wreck mode by the time I emerged, which must have been an hour and a half later -- despite the fact that my list should have put me in the under-10-items lane.
By the time I got through the produce department (the bane of my vegetable-deprived island existence) my cart was brimming and my heart thundering in my chest like a freight train. I dont ever remember seeing so much variety and such unblemished produce, though Im sure I must have like at Elis or Balduccis or Zabars -- in my former life. Suffice it to say that there were four kinds of tofu Firm, Medium-Firm, Soft and Silken (Tofu? Silken?)
Then came the nut/dried-fruit/trail mix department, where I found myself so bowled over by the selection I started counting the varieties of just nuts. I had no idea they could do so many things to a nut: honey-roasted I knew about, but pepper-coated and soy-drenched were new to me. When I got to around 35 nut types, I gave up the count, though in truth I did notice a few repeats in the peanut category. I was surprised to come upon my beloved Virgin Gorda Wasabi Peas, so I bought up the entire bins worth. (Fortunately it was almost empty, though when I returned to get the SKU number for the cashier, it had already been refilled to brimming, a virtual impossibility in the Caribbean, where deliveries meander in once or twice a week.)
I had the beginnings of a headache when I reached the meat departments outskirts.(Let me count the ways, besides hot and sweet Italian, you can now love a sausage: pork, beef, turkey, chicken, veal, sun-dried tomato, spinach/parmesan, apple/parmesan, Portobello mushroom/mozzarella.) When I finally reached the custom-rolled cold sushi and custom-toasted hot panini counters at Genuardis other end, the unaccustomed sensory barrage had my head throbbing to the tune of three Extra Strength Tylenols and my heart still palpitating wildly.
Getting through took so long because the sheer volume of product had me riveted in almost every aisle and unable to move for minutes at a time. I really got held up in the sushi department when I decided on a a small midmorning snack -- a self-congratulatory gift for finding my way almost out of the Genuardis labyrinth.
It was a tough decision, choosing among the vast array of freshly prepared hot foods: vats of multi-ingredient soups; trays of plump, crunchy-skinned fried chicken; hand-made overstuffed deli sandwiches; 8 or 9 kinds of pizza; oversized burritos; custom-mixed salads and a quarter-mile-long salad bar. I settled on sushi after one particularly tense debate with myself when I reached a hillock of panini ready to be inserted into machines resembling waffle irons that clamp down, melt the cheese and crisp up the focaccia.
Sushi won because it simply isnt available in the Caribbean (unless you count our St Maarten encounter at the sushi counter of a bald, droopy-mustached, middle-aged Frenchman named Michel, who looked more like your Jewish Uncle Herbie the Tailor than any Japanese sushi chef - and indeed, his paper-thin fish slices tasted more like shirt cardboard than tuna.)
I should have known I was on shaky selection ground at Genuardis when I saw the large framed certificate pronouncing June Tsing the winner of the entire chains Most Improved Sushi Department Contest. June herself was behind the counter, which proferred a candy stores worth of prepared sushi, all of which fish types I was familiar with, but also a hefty selection of esoteric maki rolls, rivaling even the most creative New York sushi chefs. Plus, in a flurry of mismatched "ws" June was promising to make me anything I could "dweam up, wight away and pwease, have some gween tea whiwe you wait."
That is, any combination if I could succeed in explaining it to her no easy feat when youre dealing with a small language barrier and a sushi artiste who is convinced there are no permutations she hasnt already offering. I pondered carefully, enunciated clearly and, in the end, came up with something to challenge her: an inside-out, extra-spicy Spicy Tuna Roll with avocado and cucumber -- and flying fish egg roe both inside and out. Extra ginger and extra soy sauce, of course.
Speaking yet again about Extra Sauce, I got out of Genuardis for a mere $139 worth of goods, when all Id come for was coffee, lettuce milk and juice for the babies. Some of the extras were selected because Id decided it was about time to start propelling my grandchildren toward More Sauce Avenue, because right now their preference is whole milk with shots of strawberry syrup, hot dogs, Log-Cabin soaked pancakes and honey Graham Crackers.
Sushi, I knew, was far too advanced for them so I returned home with a few red bananas, some dried apple slices and apricots. Only Zoe bit, returning for seconds on the apricots. Everything else was greeted with clamped-shut little rosebud mouths and determined little face-swivels. I dont consider the battle lost, however, and my return sortie will include Wasabi Peas at the very least, if not Spicy Tuna maki rolls.
I encountered similar overkill problems in the Food Court at the King of Prussia Mall, where Lisa, an au pair, Suey and I schlepped the kids one day. Not only was I stuck deciding between Japanese, Chinese, Italian, Mexican, fill-your belly Deli and California Fusion restaurants, plus more standard-fare McDonalds, KFC and Pizza Hut, but once Id made up my mind to go the fresh, healthy route, I couldnt decide between the Nicoise Salad and the Veggie Wrap and ended up ordering both,
Overeating, Lulu Style
Double-ordering is a practice Ive been trying hard to discontinue in my new life. Ive heard that every new female liveaboard returns from a year in the Caribbean much like she did in Freshman year of college 15 pounds overweight.
I also had to make an exception at Peter Luger this week. We ate there Thursday night with our friends Joan & David (no, not the shoe people though they are always well shod, sometimes even in Joan & Davids. Unlike me: Ive been informed by my former friend Carole -- and I quote -- "shoes are the weakest part of your wardrobe." This must be one reason Ive opted for my virtually shoeless new lifestyle.)
Anyway, at Peter Luger, the four of us ordered: manhole-sized beefsteak tomatoes & onions; Shrimp Cocktail featuring prawns that could double as skull lobsters and an Everest of onion rolls (my favorite food item at Peter Luger, coated with sweet butter and dipped into their famous Peter Lugers Sauce, which defies all flavor analysis.) But, wavering between steak for 3 and double-cut loin lamb chops as main courses, David, who always humors me by insisting I order anything I want, suggested we add a portion of lamb chops to our appetizer. (And I always do my best to indulge David in return.)
The Lucullan feast moved on to entrées without a pause (theres no such thing at Peter Luger, where waiters rush platter after platter at you, seeking that elusive third table-turn that insures them humongous tips and take-home pay rivaling brain surgeons.) As our main course we shared two-inch-thick steak for four creamed spinach, two kinds of potatoes -- French fries and German home fries all swallowed down with 2 bottles of Pinot Noir. I must report, though, that my stomach is no longer big enough for gorging at my former levels -- we left some steak on the platter. (Or maybe it was just that steak was a hair too rare )
In Blue Bell, I did encounter the best cheese steaks since the Hubba Hubba, the Chili Station and the White House, all long-time favorites. I can never resist a cheese steak in fact, as early as 1957 on the way to my Junior Prom, I insisted on a pit stop at the Hubba Hubba, despite being gowned in cascading layers of horizontal pink tulle and cocoa lace. (Yes, the dress was as hideous as it sounds, a fashion faux pas my mother -- her humiliation skills always honed to sushi-cleaving proportions -- made me wear again to my Senior Prom.)
This is by way of explaining why, in Blue Bell, I couldnt help devouring a Pudges cheese steak 3 out of the 5 days I was there -- missing the other two only because they stupidly close Sundays and Mondays. A Pudges cheese steak bursts with tender shaved meat, a truly fantastic Marinara sauce and real Provolone rather than your more typical Philadelphia-style, cheese-glop squirted from a can. And, finally, on my last pass, one of the fry guys at the long grill piled high with sizzling ingredients, succeeded making me well-done fried onions. A sublime eating experience, ranking right up there with Sals Pizza.
Speaking of Sals Pizza, people have been asking me all week what we miss from or about home. Sals would have to be on that very short, and increasingly shrinking, list, which includes, in no particular order:
No Babyish Baby Shower
Sueys baby shower, by the way, was elegant to the Nth -- Bellinis and baked brie, mushroom canapés and sinfully good pastries, held in a super-sleek, minutely coordinated lower-Fifth avenue apartment -- completely gutted and reassembled to spare-no-detail, cost-no-object standards. The apartment missed not a single current design statement: wood Venetian blinds, hardwood floors, tapestry rugs, giant sleigh beds, glass-fronted kitchen cabinets, granite countertops, porcelain pedestal sinks and polar-white tiled bathrooms that an errant pubic hair wouldnt dare land in. The walls, painted heavenly ice-cream-fresh colors, were crack-free and smooth as suede and so were the peachy complexions on Suey's friends faces.
Was my generation ever so dermatologically blessed? I think not.
These young women looked like they just stepped out of a Woody Allen movie - perfect examples of Manhattan's young, mod married set. They looked pampered and patted and impeccably groomed as if their daily regimen consists of nothing more than a round of aerobics and facials, manicures, massage and makeup sessions.
Wendy noted she was only one wearing beige. She was, in fact, a small island of Gap khaki in a sea of Barneys black. Even the hostesss puppy was a black Lab as if chosen purposely, to deal with the problem of unwanted shedding. Though these young women looked spoiled and off-putting -- like they'd throw a temper tantrum if the dry cleaning was delivered late -- they were all personable and fun; most did, or still do, hold down serious, responsible jobs. We had a terrific time playing a cute parlor game the two hostesses invented for Suey to play, as well as banging on toy drums and singing a funny song her childhood best friend Beth had written.
Still, all this perfection only underscored further my feeling that our home just isnt home any more:
Our apartment needs recarpeting, feels shabby compared to our pristine, just redone Lulu. My 25-year-old plants are about to expire from a combination of loneliness and the terrace door springing open in subzero weather.
Our building houses a business that no longer belongs to us. The office door upstairs is now kept tightly shut. When I slid it open this week I found out why. Dave, who bought Plastic Works from us, brings his two specimen -- but nonetheless crotch-sniffing -- huskies to work every day, and Gary not exactly your dog aficionado -- has to step over their inert bodies, their feeding bowls, their assorted toys and gnawing devices to get to his office.
Sueys baby booty is piled up in my study, waiting to be needed.
I no longer no how to dress. All week I had to stick to outfits I remembered that worked: otherwise I was in danger of major mismatches and wrong seasonitis.
The weather stinks.
And, last, the New York scene strikes me as growing more pretentious every day. Friday, at my haircut, seated next to me, as if holding court,was a young woman whose long, blunt-cut, streaked blonde mane was being blown straight as uncooked spaghetti. A junior executive somewhere -- I forget where, but certainly no Allan & Co investment banker, Wall Street arbitrageur or Merrill Lynch analyst -- she was treating Alex, Susannas assistant, and the entire salon, to a review of her stock portfolio, how it has performed and what life essentials Gucci, Armani, Hamptons, Hermčs -- shes been able to buy or build as a result.
Now, just five years ago, this same person would have been whispering to her hairdresser about marital or boyfriend problems; bemoaning her fat, her hair, her girlfriends, her mother-in-law. Or, whining about being sardined with perfect strangers, albeit perfectly acceptable, carefully vetted Upper East Siders, into a Westhampton time-share. Nowadays shes daytrading, dropping price tags and crowing over eighths of points. (By the way, the reason I heard her so loud and clear is that every last bit of beauty salon chitchat had ground to a halt as everyone there strove to take mental or magazine notes of her future trading plans.)
It occurs to me, however, that 6 months ago I might have jumped into her conversation or worse, been conducting one myself. So I am grateful I have my priority hat on straight these days.
It should be clear by now why we prefer living aboard Lulu back in La La Land.
I cant wait to land.

NORTHAMPTON, Mass. – Poor memory? Hard to say. I'm just glad I don't remember details of my college road trips to Northampton and my .000 batting average with Smith College women.
That means I can approach stopping by this charming college town as a pleasant diversion with my wife after a family lunch in nearby Worcester. I can escape shadows of feeling lost among the hyper-sophisticated Smithies. Some history deserves to be forgotten.
Moreover, what merits remembering requires reflection and fresh engagement, not just a sense of cyclical dread.
The ugly political morass of 2012 isn't just Reaganism redux: It's not just another variation on the "trickle-down" delusion – make the rich rich enough and they will discover how to share – and the economic and political destruction that flowed from chasing that fantasy. Nor is it another dabbling in McCarthyism's politics of fear and scapegoating.
According to the Chicago Tribune, new study from Northwestern University attempts to shed light on what the 1 percent actually believes about charitable giving and social problems. The study found that of the more than 100 interviewees with a median annual income of $7.5 million, most were enthusiastic about philanthropy and 92 percent were involved in some kind of volunteer activity. Furthermore, the great majority of respondents cited budget deficits, unemployment, and education as the most pressing issues in the United States today.
So, maybe the 1 percent isn't so different from the 99 percent?

Track stars have revealed the secret to developing running speed. Most athletes simply run out of breath long before they need to stop running, because they aren't able to get the oxygen into their muscles fast enough. By taking deep breaths, and building up the supply of oxygen in your blood, you can prevent muscle cramps. As lactic acid builds up, and muscle fatigue sets in, untrained players think they've reached their limit.
Track teams, and well-coached basketball and football teams for that matter, train by sprinting short distances, over and over. It's not fun, but it works. After a few months of training, the lungs begin to process oxygen more efficiently, and players find that they can run long distances non-stop, or sprint for a longer period of time.

After all those pictures of the kids in their costumes, I forgot to say something about actual Halloween. We took everyone to the ward Trunk-or-Treat which was an unmitigated disaster. The boys were up past their bedtime with quivering chins for about 10 minutes before full-on Chernobyl ensued.
They did infinitely better for regular Trick-or-Treating on Halloween at our complex. The Lunsfords joined us for dinner and beggary.
Orange and Black Halloween Dinner Menu
Orange and black tortilla chips with salsa con queso and mango salsa
Black squid ink pasta with meatballs in orange vodka sauce (this shall become a tradition!)
Butternut squash
Black forbidden rice with orange bell peppers
Black grapes
When the children returned with their spoils, we put on glow in the dark skeleton jammies, broke out about 150 glow in the dark bracelets and had a sugar-shock rave in the basement. This was one of my favorite Halloweens to date. And that squid ink pasta with butternut squash was legitimately good food!

Lettuce, Kale ,beets, beans, tomatoes ,potato ,kohlrabi, strawberries, raspberries, summer squash, peppers, watermelon, egg plant, carrots, cucumbers, sweet corn, spinach, herbs, fresh flower arrangements, pumpkins, gourds, winter squash, ornamental corn, broom corn….we try most produce, if it grows here, in our zone, we will probably sell it at the market.
We started out at the farmers market in 2005 with the two oldest boys. We had extra produce in the garden and thought it would be a great learning experience for the boys. The business took off after that. Paula volunteered to manage the market and the boys continued to want to sell at the market. Alex has taken leadership with the market on the farm. He has planted and harvested all the produce this year(2015) with a little help from his brothers and dad and is also the one who sells at the market. We built a high tunnel this spring and he planted strawberries, peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers in it this year. He also planted several acres of pumpkins and sweet corn. In the fall we bring produce to the market but also sell from the farm. We have lots of unique fall décor from our "Pumpkin Shed" including locally grown mums, 30 different varieties of pumpkin, winter squash and jams and jellies.

Why I want a place in cabinet
At Madrid there is no doubting the club's heritage - and we badly want that tenth European Cup
ON THE DAY I SIGNED FOR REAL Madrid, I did an interview with the club's television station in their trophy room. There were nine European Cups in the cabinet behind me. When you join this club, there is no escaping the weight of history.
It places an heavy expectation on the present team but it also makes you believe that winning the trophy is far from impossible. There is a belief at Real that they should be challenging for the top honours every season and, with three Champions League successes in the past seven years, they are entitled to believe.
The thought of sharing in that success was one of the motivations for my transfer this summer although that does not mean that I am…

Hey John,
Don't you just love the crap of life. My latest dose has come via India call centres.
They all claim to be someone calling from Melbourne or West Melbourne. All they want to do is give me a FREE phone.
At the moment if I don't recognize the number I just answer with.. "What are you going to give me to day for free… a phone… a holiday.. or what?
I think the best response eI've heard dfor this sort of thing is from Sienfeld. "I'm busy right now… give me your home number and I'll ring you back." (or words to that effect)
As for your current problem I haven't come accross it myself yet. I suppose it can't be far away.
Chin up… don't let the basdards get you down.
Hi John:
My Monday was pretty good, but can I offer you a dose of perspective. I was talking to a real estate agent about the volunteer work I do up at what used to be called Tahoe Adaptive Ski School (you live in Reno I believe so you may know it). I told the agent on the phone how my perspective was totally changed after volunteering up there. I had some health issues that had made me a little "perspectively challenged", and decided to try and relocate my head from where it was residing. After seeing soldiers from the Wounded Warrior Program skiing while missing limbs, seeing children who would never live to see 21 try to ski, or a dying man trying to ski, I was blown away.
I shared my history of volunteering with the agent, and told her how my perspective had been changed by the amazing people I see up at the Ski School. The agent went on to tell me that her brother had committed suicide two weeks ago. Once again my perspective was changed. In other words, it made me realize how good I have it.
So anyway, now that you have read all this, how was your Monday? Thanks as always for your writings: I enjoy them greatly.
Tom Ash
I spent my Monday waiting around all day for a property management company to approval my application for a new beach house.
Bastards have been taunting us for 12 days now, saying… "The owner is still out of the country".
Argggg! I know they are just cherry picking applications and trying to find a better renter. I don't get it, especially since I offered to pay 6 months rent up front. You'd think they'd take the 20 grand and sign the damn papers already.
Ah well. Maybe they just don't want to rent to a tattooed surfer punk who's living the good life.
Speaking of the good life, Frank and I were commenting the other day about how cool it would be if you were down in Cali.
Out of nowhere, we were like…. "It sure would be kickass if Carlton lived down here".
I have no idea how the idea spawned, but it was a good one at the time.
Anyhow, know that you have a bedroom waiting on the oceanfront anytime you want. We got extra boards, Xbox 360, fridge overstuffed with cold Mexican beers, and just about anything a guy would need for a killer vacation.
Cheers and beers,
John Carlton replies:
Thanks, man. Was a time, I'd load up the car and move to a new city on just such an opportunity.
Kinda rooted now. Mortgage, Michele, dogs, employees…
I loved living at the beach. I was in San Diego back before it got Yuppie-ized, and spent 10 years in Hermosa/Redondo. A block from the ocean, hearing waves crash 24/7… and my soul neatly attuned to the groove of walking through sand.
We'll have to think of more excuses to just get together down there…
I woke up dreading another day at the J.O.B.
I knew it was going to be great…F.e.a.r.l.e.s.s leaders…these guys just dont really care. If Staples made a "That Was Stupid" button I would wear the hellout of it lol.
Why??…Glad ya asked.So were have a big ol' crane that people invented yanno to move heavy cargo….I think it was intended to work smarter not harder…..so yeah I think the guys I work for didn't get that memo.
With 5 people moving equipment from a smaller ship to a bigger ship at the rate we were going it would have been completed umm…next week. …and to top it off we had to move so much equipment that at the rate we were moving them.
So I sucked it up and worked from 7am until noon,had lunch and went back at it. All that lifting computers, and servers, and printers wore me down and im not a lil guy.
Enough was enough…I said "Hey…there's got to be an easier way"…he said "Well they got something else going on" (AKA – Thats nice but I don't care because I'm not sweating my balls off) So I walked away and found someone else who could understand my words, because that guy sure as hell didn't.
Asked for help couldn't get it…bc people were oww so busy
So I said, forget Mr.Nice Guy…I made my stand and pretty much said ok….If you don't help me carry all this equipment over..you won't have Internet and you won't be able to use Outlook. (It's funny how you can motivate people to help you out)
That pretty much wrapped up my Monday..after all that I was able to get 30 people to help, and finally finished moving everything in a short time frame. It's scary what can happen when you put common sense into play. ….shhh dont tell anyone I work with I have "Common Sense"….lol
I'm totally with Stan… I once did some video testimonials for a project. And since I was involved in that product and wanted all the donors (people with money) to be happy, I didn't want to just put the videos on YouTube. Nope, wanted to make it a fancy DVD, all through fulfillment company with nice professional label and stuff.
So, sat down a couple of nights, got into photoshop, creating the labels, etc.
Added subtitles to the videos.
And then wanted to make it into "DVD format". So people can just put it in their player and watch it on TV. You'd guess it should be really easy, shouldn't it? With all those Nero software stuff, should be push-button, no? Apparently there was some file conversion stuff with .mov files and I spent every free minute for about two weeks trying to tackle this final last step… until I finally handed the whole thing to someone who knew what he was doing and paid a little money for that.
Drove me insane. Those computers can make you feel like Michael Douglas in "Falling Down".
Client just sent my copy out to his list. Headline changed. Subheadline changed. Offer totally changed, price of product more than doubled?!?
Bummer. Should have listened to my gut feeling before accepting the assignment. I guess someone made some less money today….
Anyway, booked up well into 2009. Your "Kick-Ass Copywriting Secrets of a Marketing Rebel" and Underachiever Melbourne 2006 was a pointer into the right direction. 🙂
Best wishes from Germany.
Markus Trauernicht
Dorothy Parker is an idol of mine. Her sayings are priceless.
I thought I was the only one gifted with the calls about my automotive warranty expiring. Don't have one either. Also I keep getting the calls offering to consolidate my credit card debt. What credit card debt?
And they always say that this is my last chance. Promises! Promises!Reply
