About Weaver Buildings
Founded in 2014, Weaver Buildings is a solution-focused architectural practice located in downtown Austin. We emphasize close communications and long-term client relationships to ensure unique detailed solutions that are tailored to benefit and reinforce the overall strategy of each project. Our strategy is based on this principle: it takes a team to make a building. When we begin conversations with clients, we meet many times to assess their aspirations. We need to fully understand the design question our building will answer. We emphasize an inter-disciplinary design process; that is, drawing with specialty consultants from the beginning of the idea's conception. When working with contractors and craftsmen, we practice two-way team communication for a correct, timely and cost-efficient execution of the design. The endurance of team communication, from client to consultant and finally to contractor in the field is the key to a thoughtful and seamless solution. We value laughter and empathy in communication for the expression of vivacious and positive environments.

There are of course hundreds of other factors as well.

Inside the Ropes: Weir hopes to cap comeback with Canadian title
The SportsXchange•
Mike Weir is recognized the greatest golfer Canada has produced, with 16 victories as a professional including the 2003 Masters, the only major title ever won by a golfer from north of the border.
This week he plays for the 23rd time in a tournament he would rather win more than any other except the Grand Slam events, the RBC Canadian Open at Glen Abbey Golf Club in Oakville, Ontario, his home province.
After years of injuries, Weir is showing signs that his game might be returning, and he hopes to show off a little for the home fans. The 43-year-old veteran has been bothered by yet another injury this year, to his ribs, but he managed a promising tie for 28th in the U.S. Open at Merion.
"Obviously the Canadian Open is the first professional tournament that I saw live, in person," Weir said. "I think it was probably about 1985, maybe even earlier than that ... '83.
"I've relayed this story before. There was a junior clinic with Andy Bean and Tom Kite at Glen Abbey, and being on the range and ... seeing those guys up close, in person, got me really inspired to start thinking it's something I'd love to do some day. So I look forward to this event every year."
Weir hasn't won the Canadian Open, but in 2004 at Glen Abbey, he nearly became the first Canadian since Pat Fletcher in 1954 to take home the title before losing on the third playoff hole to Vijay Singh.
Ironically, that's when Weir's injury problems began, as he was grabbed affectionately by one of his adoring fans while walking through the crowd on the way from one green to the next tee.
The friendly hug resulted in two compressed disks in his neck, which bothered Weir for the next few years. However, the biggest setback was a torn ligament in his right elbow that he sustained in 2010, an injury that eventually required surgery the next year.
Weir lost his PGA Tour card, missing the cut an incredible 35 times the last three seasons, and even went so far as to play two events on the European Tour last season in an effort to turn things around.
Through it all, he has kept his perspective and never lost hope.
"I think there were times that, yeah, you wonder, when you're injured and you get a little older, you kind of wonder," he said. "But I was very determined to get back. I still love the game. I still love the practice. I enjoy the competition.
"So, yeah, I was very motivated to get back. I feel like I still have quite a bit of good golf left. If I didn't, I wouldn't have worked as hard to get back. I still feel motivated. I still feel I can do some good things."
Bothered by the rib injury, Weir nearly had to withdraw from the Masters in April on the 10th anniversary of becoming the first left-hander to capture a major since Bob Charles of New Zealand won the 1963 Open Championship.
Weir, who played college golf at BYU and now lives in Sandy, Utah, gutted out two rounds in Augusta, Ga., but suffered one of his 10 missed cuts this season at 72-79--151.
However, things began to go his way when he opened with 68-68 at the Travelers Championship, although he had a disappointing weekend of 73-70 to tie for 33rd.
He lost out in a playoff during U.S. Open qualifying in Ohio, but he holed a 20-foot putt in semi-darkness to secure a spot as first alternate.
Three days before the tournament, the United States Golf Association announced that he was in.
Weir played his best golf of the season, considering the circumstances, when he made it through all four rounds of a brutal U.S. Open at Merion and tied for 28th by closing with a 1-under-par 69.
"My ball-striking is getting much better," said Weir, who posted four scores in the 60s and tied for 27th in the John Deere Classic two weeks ago. "I have strength in my arm again. I am feeling good. I'm feeling much better.
"(I'm about) 80 percent. Getting there for sure. A lot of days it feels very good, and I would say (in U.S. Open qualifying), that day that was about the best ball-striking I've had in a few years. It was just really phenomenal ball-striking.
"I just have to put it all together."
If it happens at Glen Abbey, Weir will have come full circle.

how does it install itself?
furthermore it is used on browser that receive regular practially weekly security patches. how does it update it self?
Easy to understand Ubuntu manual with lots of pics: http://ubuntu-manual.org/
Do i need antivirus/firewall in linux?
User friendly disk backup: Redobackup
The first ever virus was written to target Linux
Likely there will be a patch to plug that security breach within a few days. It would be hard to sell an exploit software that would be patched out before the buyer of said exploit could use it. That's likely why no such markets exist for Linux exploits. Microsoft, on the other hand, takes a very long time to patch the sieve that is Windows. It doesn't help that many Windows endusers don't know how to keep their systems patched - if a patch for it exists... Thus, the flourishing global market for vendors of Windows exploits."Nobody knows yet how many computers are going to get infected every time there's a campaign," Kessem said. "You don't have the same fraud economy that backs up Linux; for Windows you have people selling exploit packs galore, it's a service industry that doesn't exist for Linux."
You know? It could be a proof of concept. To see how far it would spread before anyone in the GNU/Linux community spotted it, and how quickly it is patched... Maybe they want to test the waters, to see if a viable "business" could be made from exploiting Linux vulnerabilities?
I'm totally speculating, based on the quote from that small article.....

The article is useless because it doesn't really provide any details. I suspect the whole thing is written in an interpreted language (such as Java, Python or HTML5) and thus may work anywhere where an appropriate interpreter is available. If so, calling it "Linux malware" is misleading at best.

James T. Sartain
Welcome to our fourth quarter earnings release and year-end 2007 release. With me today, I have got our very own new Jim Moore, our new Chief Operating Officer who we announced in couple of months ago who joined us on February 1. We were excited that Jim's with us. He is joining us on the call today.
We certainly look forward to Jim's involvement in the company in the areas of compliance, legal and operations systems and being obviously comes from a background of having been here many years before joining as CFO of our auto finance company that we started in '97 and stayed there until just recently in late 2007.

James T. Sartain
Obviously, we're very disappointed in the results of our fourth quarter, realizing that we had a loss for the quarter of $1.4 million or $0.12 per share. We knew for year that we were going to be off, obviously, which did the investigation calls that we had during the year of $2.2 million. And we did anticipate that we would have some reserves to specific assets. Some of these reserves relate to the pushing out of cash flows. Some of them relate to just pure devaluations and some of the commercial real state assets on our books.
We have a very little exposure to residential. We were talk about that after while but the $6.4 million in reserves that we had during the year and $3.2 million in the fourth quarter was more than anticipated. But looking at our cash flows as we do our regular basis and as we do every month, we felt it was incumbent upon us to push some cash flows on some assets as well as take some write-downs on some assets that we had. Particularly as it related to some Midwest assets kind of the worst felt assets that we had.
But certainly the devaluation in the real state market you see a lot about that in the residential area but its trickle down certainly does affect commercial. I think moreover, the fact is the liquidity on the market where we have exit strategies on assets where people are looking to get refinancing to take us out of certain deals that we are in.
And we have an agreement with him and a discounted payoff or some kind of structure where they are not able to obtain financing to do that. We may have extend financing and that pushes our cash flows and in many instances and sometimes creates these reserves for impairments against cash flows if you will. So, I think the liquidities affect to this. I know that's what has had a big effect and this created some of the reserves that we took.
We invested $150 million for the year not near what we invested a year before. We will talk more about that later on in the conference call. Our liquidity remains very strong. We have the capacity to fund approximately $150 million more and we can leverage most to that $150 million with other transactions.
Liquidity is king in this market. Our liquidity is good, we've got the ability to take advantage of some opportunities we're seeing in the market. And we are really excited about what's going on in the market and the market is coming to us. When you read about it everyday, and just this weekend, obviously you are hearing reports of sales of major investment banks because of their issues.
We are excited to think about the fallout out of structures like this and the things that we can do with the liquidity we have and the franchise we have. But before we go on, and we will come back to some of this in discussion. I would like to ask Bryan Baker to come in and give the financial report. Then we will come back and talk about portfolio acquisition.
J. Bryan Baker
If you could just focus on the first page of the press release, we will start there and I will just walk you through to some of the numbers that are contained throughout the press release.
The table there in the middle of the page basically shows you that we loss $1.360 million for the quarter compared to the $5.50 million last year. Obviously, the biggest drop out of the portfolio asset acquisition and resolution for the quarter and the year was provisions that we recorded $3.2 million for the quarter. So you see that if you add those back with our net revenues would be higher for the quarter and $6.4 for the year.
So the same analysis would be applicable is that our revenues out of that business line, our core revenues excluding provisions would be higher than prior year. Corporate overhead is higher in the quarter than the year. The quarter is pretty much spread throughout personal cost, other expenses, taxes, and all primarily related to growth as a business and additional compliance.
In the year we had the $2.2 million investigation expenses and then we had increased taxes of $528,000. Other income was down by $426,000 comparable to prior year. Other expenses were up to $658,000. So, about $4 million net increase in overhead for the year spread through several areas of the company.
If you took a step back and you said okay for the year we made $2.185 million and $0.19 compared to $9.8 million last year. We take three basic components; you take the investigation expense of $2.2 million, impairments of $6.4 million. And then if you deduct FX gains in this year and last year the comparable core net income for 2007 would be roughly $9.6 million compared to $9.5 million in 2006.
So, while we are showing not quite the level of acquisitions in '07 as we did in '06, our revenues have increased and our core net income has stayed basically flat excluding those items. So, we feel like we although not unaffected by the market, we have weathered a pretty good storm we believe in 2007 through all the difficulties that we faced. We feel like we are poised to move ahead and take advantage of some of the market activity.
Although that we do have provisions, those provisions were spread in the US, Latin America, in Europe, for the year we had $2.061 million which shows up on the income statement of Page 5 in the press release. That's the wholly-owned portfolio provisions in the US and we had $1.5 million in Latin America partnerships which reduces our equity earnings of subs $3.4 million in US partnerships in $0.4 million in Europe partnerships.
The other item that's significant, a couple of items that I want to talk about under the expense line is the interest expense, $18 million for the year compared $8.3. Our average debt for the year is $212 million compared to a $100 million in '06 and our interest gross was slightly higher for the year at 8.5% compared to 8.3%. You have really seen the carryover the last two years acquisitions showing up in the average debt balance and the higher interest expense.
Salaries and benefits were up year-to-year, quarter-to-quarter basically because of our start-up businesses and American Business Lending in Crestone. Although those businesses basically were breakeven to the bottom line on the standalone basis, they did have an affect of increasing certain revenue and expense line items but basically we are at breakeven for the company for the year.
The last thing I would like to talk about is the schedule of unrealized gross profit which we provided for the first time last quarter. We put it in there again this year and we continue to see that we have got $98 million of unrealized gross profit in our share of the portfolios that we are invested in. This were not including the direct loans or SBA loans and that [inaudible] basically our core portfolios that we hold in our partnerships and wholly owned in the different regions.
It did come down a little bit from year-end last year and the end of the third quarter. Basically, we did not buy as much in '07 as we did in 2006. So, we did have some shrinkage in our values as result of which shows up in impairments although it was not a dollar-for-dollar decrease on the P&L. Though we feel like its still a very strong number and it shows that we are adding value and that in the future we will try to provide some information related to the timing of those expected cash flows.
With that I am going to turn it back through to Jim.
Jim W. Moore
Let's turn to the portfolio acquisition and resolution business, as stated in the press release we invested $19.4 million in the quarter versus $87 million for the fourth quarter of 2006, down significantly from the previous year. Can I say that that was intentional? No. Can I say that we are being more selective? Yes. Are we being more cautious? Yes.
We have raised our pricing, we have raise our margins, we have lowered our expected buys in the real state market us we look at the new BPO values or broker cross opinion values and appraisal values. We have used the same discipline but we have changed our strategies because we believe this is the time that we can start, the times are coming to us and we do not have to buy at this point. The seller expectations have not come down commensurate it with what our expectations are to buy.
I will say that in the fourth quarter we still bid a lot of portfolios. We bit seven different portfolios that we were the high bidder on, but the seller did not sell. And why it did not sell, they didn't have the reserves to sell them. What are you reading in the market today? Banks, what are they doing, they are continuing to reserve even into the first quarter and probably go into the second or maybe even further, who knows?
But they did not have the reserves to sell the assets. So, we passed on the buy rather than meeting the seller expectations which we generally do not do. We have our price that we stay with. Again, the discipline is still here and we will continue to maintain it although we have changed our processing significantly when we are looking at what was going on in market.
Also, what this may mean to us and probably does is that in our seven different sales that we were the high bidder on that did not sell because it did not have the provisions or the reserves to sell it. It may mean there is less competition in the market. Obviously liquidity has been a big issue in the market and us with liquidity versus some of our competitors that maybe struggling in some other areas of their company.
For us to be high bidder on seven different sales in the quarterly period is kind of a phenomena. That hasn't happened in years but it came with our pricing structure, again it did not buy. But it is sending us a message I believe that the good times for us are to come.
Year-to-date invested $148 almost $149 million versus over $172 million last year. Again, the same scenario mostly affected by what happen in the fourth quarter. Fourth quarter is generally our largest quarter for acquisitions. It was in '06, it was year before as I recall. It just wasn't there in 2007 and primarily due to what I mentioned earlier the discipline and the changing in our pricing structure.
As I said all along, you don't make money paying too much for these assets. We had some impairments on some assets that we purchased, probably not too surprising to anybody given what the real estate climate is today. And given where the liquidity climate is as far as people being able to obtain financing to take us out of settlements that we might made with the debtor.
We remain optimistic. Our pipeline today is $1.8 billion dollars made up of about $400 million in the US, about $200 million in Europe, and $1.2 billion in Latin America. In the US and in Europe, the ones that we have on our list the $400 and $200 respectively is stuff that we are looking at. The $1.2 billion in Latin America is stuff that is on our list. We may or may not look at and if we do look at it, it will be certainly on a joint venture with us taking minor pieces of those transactions along with other investors.
There are other investors in joint venture partners out there to do this. Lately we just closed one here recently just in the last month with a major world financial partner, major world player. There is money for these transactions along side of liquidity that we can provide the deal too. We have a good pipeline today, but guess what, its going to get larger.
Looking at the credit crunch, liquidity crunch, it's just a matter time before there's going to be numerous opportunities to be acquired. According to the Wall Street Journal this morning, we don't have to swing at every ball today, which just want swing at the fat ones. That's really what we're trying to say, we're going to be very selective and enterprising.
There is just going to be so many opportunities that we believe starting on about this third, fourth quarter this year when sellers really had to start getting rid of these assets. The FDIC made an announcement in the last three or four weeks that it believed that it was tightening up because it believed that it would be closing numerous banks over the next two years, commercial banks.
That being said, that's a lot of opportunities for us as the FDIC typically auctions off those assets. That's where we cut our teeth back in late 80′s and early 90′s, the bank government failures. We see that as opportunities it's going to get larger as we say.
As I stated many times, these are the times we looked for. It's probably too early right now, it's certainly too early to predict what's going to happen. But we believe third and fourth quarters, as we see it in the market and as we talk to sellers and banks, and not just banks. Others street lenders and people that have been in the lending business, we see that we believe the business is coming our coming way.
We believe that the tidal wave is coming and we certainly see it. We are already seeing transactions, although right now the seller's mindset is maybe try hold on and try to weather the storm. But I believe that liquidity concerns are getting too numerous for a number of these top sellers.
We bought a pipeline that includes no residential. We have not historically been a residential buyer in the US although we have done quite a bit of it over in Mexico, some in South America, and some in Europe. But it does not include residential in the US. As I stated in our last conference call back in November, it seems like many months ago now. We were looking for a partnership or JV, with residential expertise buying and managing this type of product.
We believed that would be a great add to our "buy low, sell hot theory�. Obviously, some of those partners and some of that expertise over the last year has had some big blow ups and is the cause of the downfall of some major enterprises around the US today. But we are still working with numerous various potential residential partners to put together a residential buying program.
Obviously, we don't go buy unless we have the capability and ability to manage that product. But it's certainly an added product using our liquidity to enforce, and to be able to acquire the product. Our liquidity along with some joint venture partners liquidity to buy, and then managing that risk once we buy.
What was the quote this morning in Reuters, "You don't want to catch a falling knife, you don't want to catch a falling chain saw. You will be cutting off all your limbs.� Anyway don't want catch a falling knife, we don't know where the bottom is yet. I don't think anybody does. But again the bottom will happen once buyers such as us and other value buyers start putting buying. And the seller begins to sell and create liquidity, certainly, in the market to take advantage of these situations.
We are still trying to find the bottom as we said, I'm not sure we are there, but we are prepared to move once we get to the bottom. And we believe that we will see some bottoming out late this year for third and fourth quarter.
We also seeing even in the residential more and more commercial opportunities everyday and what I have call the "trickle down effect�, the residential affects many, many commercial enterprises. From people to supply to the home building industry to the people that supply to the commercial business, it affects the commercial enterprise.
We are seeing the downturn also in the real estate value and obviously we reflected some of there in our fourth quarter. But we remain very excited about the portfolio acquisition business these are the times we look for. We are moving forward, we are going to use a lot of discipline.
I am not going to sit here and tell you that we are going to have huge acquisitions in the first and second quarter. I don't know when the huge acquisition are going to come but they are going to come and thy are going to be with much, much higher margins. And I have remained very, very excited about the opportunities I'm seeing.
Let me talk about liquidity a moment, we did obtained a $125 million in additional credit facility from the Bank of Scotland and our affiliates and subsidiaries that's called BoS(USA). That relationship remains very strong, it's a relationship we've had since mid 90s.
We are looking in other venues for liquidity to do other type transaction, to do more transaction, we are looking at structured finance situations. JV's with partners accepted, much like we historically have done with the Cargill Company possibly, where we have partnership relationship in the WAMCO partnership that we have had actually since 1992. Also partnership relationships like we have had with the AIG Group and people like that.
So we have continue look for additional liquidity to couple with ours to be able to grow our business to acquire a more critical mass of this product, because we believe that we can take advantage of what we'll say are huge discounts in the market. With our liquidity fine and we will continue to work with those partners as well as investing on our balance sheet as well.
Over to the stock purchase plan, during the quarter we have raised our stock purchase plan from one million shares to a 1.5 million shares. Today we have acquired 845,000 shares under that program. We are somewhat selective but if the pricing we are seeing does stop, we just believe it as a excellent buy today. Obviously that coupled with the idea that, we need liquidity to grow our business so we have run a balance.
But at today's prices, it certainly is a good buy, so we continue to buy. Although we are very limited in what we can buy on a day-to-day basis and for the last couple of weeks we have been in a quiet period and have not been able to buy given where the price is. But we have acquired 264,530 shares this year alone and we will continue to buy on select basis as we look at the market.
We think it's a good program, we think it brings good value to the remaining shareholders and the non-selling shareholders. I for one as a shareholder believe it's helpful to the value that I have in the company to. We will continue that program, we have the liquidity to do that and we still have liquidity to grow on our business.
So with that I will conclude our prepared remarks and open it up for Q&A.
Question-and-Answer Session
(Operator Instructions) Our first question comes from the line of Barry McCarver – Stevens Inc..
Barry McCarver – Stevens Inc.
Going back to the purchases you were talking about the seven sales and you were the highest bidder on, I think your comment was that the reserves that some of those banks had just did not allow them to go ahead with the price you were offering. Can you infer in anything by the difference of what they were expecting and what you were offering that would indicate that they are getting closer to being ready to turn loose of those portfolios.
James T. Sartain
But I would say, we're probably off 10% to 15% of what they're expecting which is a sizeable amount.
Barry McCarver – Stevens Inc.
I'm wondering what that may have been like last quarter, a couple of quarters ago, if you have looked at it that way.
James T. Sartain
But we continue to buy, but we had some "no sales� all through the year. You see continued deterioration in the portfolios of these banks primarily because of the value of real estate, Barry. And we try to form a hard line, a hard downside on these assets with real estate values not always but most always, but we were probably 10% to 15% off of expectations at the minimum, net.
Some of that comes when we deal we might have been pricing to 15% cash-on-cash year ago, we are pricing to a 17% today too. There's more risk out there so if the price is 17% and we missed, it may get to a 15%. Sometimes if we price at 17 and we hit a home run we do better than that obviously. But I'm saying across the board, Jim would you agree, 10% to 15% probably across the board we were off below there expectations. I'm going to say that the seller was off because we were right.
Barry McCarver – Stevens Inc.
Well 10% to 15% sounds like a pretty dramatic difference.
Jim W. Moore
It is but looking at it from our situation, if we are going to take that asset on and we have got to manage it to the end and with the higher cost of funds. We're just not going to take that risk, given the fall in the market that we are seeing and we're just going to invest our liquidity more wisely. We believe we invest our liquidity wisely, and we're just going to continue to do that very wisely
Barry McCarver – Stevens Inc.
Now, I'm trying to get my hands around when you're talking about, hoping that you see more potential for purchasing in 3Q, 4Q kind of what is leading into that.
James T. Sartain
I don't think it is not all banks, but banks are big seller to us, I just don't think they looked., Certainly they have a process they go through every quarter and they look at values but some of these banks today or some of these sellers in capital is king and it is called capital preservation.
And they say if we can get appraisal on this asset at X, and I have to reserve it down to that X or whatever., But a buyer is going to come in and buy that assets, maybe pay in Y which is a substantial discount from that, they say I can keep capital in the bank, by not selling.
And some of these banks that are becoming very capital thin will take that position and say that capital preservation is king to us right now. Keep our doors open.
Barry McCarver – Stevens Inc.
On the provision in the quarter, you talked about a couple of reasons for the provisioning including asset write-downs. Can you give us a little more detail on the two or three biggest drivers in that? And Jim, the details when you re-price an asset or you have a third party to do that, how do you determine the value, which can be really tricky in the market right now.
James T. Sartain
Well, certainly we have just come through an audit that has been more penetrating than any other I've ever seen as it relates to asset valuation. We have for years and over the last 20 years we've in business as a developer a very substantial network of brokers, brokers with price opinions and then they give just hard-core opinions as to what I can go see this property for in the next 90 days even where the market is.
Again we go through that process on a regular basis, that's something that we have had in place for years. We do go through a re-underwriting of our major assets on a continual basis. They get a tremendous amount of scrutiny from our portfolio manager Jim Holmes' group, as well as from our internal audit and our external audit group.
As I see more penetration than I ever saw in our life, which is good it makes us look at ourselves. That being said, the auditors don't run the business, management does. So we look at ourselves on a very cautious basis as to where this market's going and try to take as cautious approach to the cash flows as we can to try to be as realistic, Some of it is, again, pushing cash flow some of it is pure devaluation.
J. Bryan Baker
Barry, I just want to point out that, these provisions were something that management identified. These are not anything identified by our audit firm and it's an ongoing process that occurs every month where Jim Holmes and his people look at the cash flows, and evaluate them.
There were two or three significant assets that grew probably half of this number in the quarter, so when you have those types of deals bubble up and I think that they have been on the books for quite a couple of years. They are a little bit older assets. So it would be natural for us to have some market decline given what is going out there.
It's just an ongoing process and it's something we do for living. We value assets every day. It's a little different from a bank where you really don't have the internal resources and the quality for the type of staff that really has experience in valuing these assets as we do. So although we get BPOs we don't totally rely on BPOs, we have lot of other tools and our own experience to be able to help analyze those numbers.
James T. Sartain
I in no way was implying that that our audit firm was driving those numbers by any stretch of the imagination. We know pretty well where our values are and again in past the portfolios with these assets came out of, we may do very well on those portfolios.
But on specific assets within that portfolios we have to take impairment today, where the remaining portfolio may yield us 15%. But we have taken impairments today, we get the accrual on those remaining portfolio over its remaining life.
So it's little bit of a timing issue in some respects too as it relates to exit strategies. If we were just looking at it as a portfolio buy and sell, we may or may not even have an impairment overall the life portfolio. But today we have to break down the portfolio into specific pools as it relates to the various kinds of assets in the pool. So sometime it's a timing difference there too Barry.
Barry McCarver – Stevens Inc.
Given the general decline in credit quality for the industry right now and particularly decline in property values in lot of markets can we expect provisioning like this to kind of tick along at these levels for sometime. Is that going to be a general trend?
J. Bryan Baker
I don't know that you can say that, it's going to be a quarter-by-quarter analysis. These are not realized losses these are reserves and I don't know that we can predict that today by any stretch of imagination.
Jim W. Moore
But we look at them constantly Berry. Hopefully we bought these assets properly. I guess at the end of the day when you look at a portfolio and you paid $20 million and ultimately you collect $35 million, and your cost was $5 million to do that. Then you made $10 million that's where you end up, that's really the long-term goal here.
In that you might have $1 million $2 million provision at some point but you might make that up too at a later date. So its not like a bank necessarily level yield accounting kind of put us kind of going in that direction but it still looking at it purchase-by-purchase. Our portfolios remain very good.
Barry McCarver – Stevens Inc.
On expanse line item I was looking big line item off the fee data processing, property protection and what not. Is that pretty dramatically, in 4Q can you break that down a little bit more for us?
Jim W. Moore
Year-to-year number obviously is up about $6 million. We had a $1.2 million of operating expanses related to the ABL Crestone platforms. We had an increase of $2.2 million in asset level expanses related to the increase in wholly owned portfolios.
As we increased our wholly-owned balance sheet growth we have portfolios that have asset level expanses that we have to pay to either foreclose or just legal fees, etc., to manage and collect those deals. We have property tax related to those assets and that's the type of expense that we are talking about there. Then we have $2.3 million, all investigation expense is in that line also.
Barry McCarver – Stevens Inc.
The 4Q number that was $4.249 million, how much of that is recurring and how much of that is sort of these foreclosures on legal fees that's going to vary quarter to quarter.
Jim W. Moore
I don't know that it's that predictable. we have about $800,000 in asset level expenses in that number every quarter. That's was pretty high. We actually had couple hundred thousand dollars a month in property taxes that we are paying on foreclosed real estate. Foreclosures did go up and when you get our 10-K you will notice that our real estate owned on a wholly owned basis basically went from about $5 million to $15 million.
Some of that is a management philosophy where we have now we got the idea that we want to try to go ahead and get those assets in here. And we feel like we can better manage them than not taking title to them. So in the fourth quarter, we did have some substantial property taxes. We try to accrue for that but as foreclosures goes up we are not able to do that or anticipate that. That's driving a good bit of that increase.
James T. Sartain
Revenues have gone up likewise on the wholly owned portfolios too. So expenses have gone up on the revenues because we are buying wholly owned.. You still have those expenses, you can put them in a partnership where your 50-50 just doesn't consolidate.
I would like to turn the call back over to Jim Sartain for closing remarks.
James T. Sartain
Just in closing, as I said earlier certainly we're disappointed in the fourth quarter. We're disappointed in the year of '07. We had some obstacles to overcome during the year. We overcome those. We do have honestly a market that's could work in the credit cycle where that's turned down substantially.
We are affected by the liquidity issues in the market where there's not lenders in the market as well as the real estate valuation. I might add that we really have a very, very small exposure to the residential market, probably less than $3 million. We do have one portfolio of residential assets that's probably aged about 11 years now, performing residential loans that we are in of those securitization of our own FirstCity capital deals that we now own. The assets themselves are all performing loans with good evaluations,
So that's really the biggest extent of our exposure. We may pick up a residential assets here and there that is pledged as additional collateral on a commercial loan but heretofore we have not really taken a lot of residential exposure. We would like to do that obviously in our market and our plan to go forward in buying at severe discounts some of this product that's going to be in the market and more of it to come in the market in the residential space.
But as I said we are looking forward the future. We are optimistic about the future. We have the liquidity on our balance sheet, our abilities. And we have the JV capacity too to put deals together with other money players to do the deals that we are going to see in the market.
We have the people. We have the franchise to take advantage of it. We believe the market's coming to us. The credit crunches, as we call it the liquidity crunch, this is real. I don't believe anybody would dispute that. We see it going forward and even in Europe. We see it some in our Latin America markets.
As the US economy continues to slow down and as the credit crunch liquidity crunch hits here. We see it's somewhat happening in Europe and we see some opportunities arising there too as well as Latin America. As I said earlier, these are the times and we are excited about the future.
And we're going to continue to build the company. We going build it with a discipline and we believe this is our time and we are looking forward to it. With that I will conclude and wish you all a good day and call in with any questions. Thank you.

Mr. SALAZAR. Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the distinguished chairwoman of the subcommittee for moving this important bill forward. I would like to share with you and my esteemed colleagues the importance of the Upper Colorado River and San Juan River Basin Endangered Fish Recovery Program. This program is a premiere example of how to recover endangered fish species while also providing more than 3 million acre-feet of water per year to Federal, tribal, and non-Federal water projects. It has been cited as the most successful fish recovery program in the United States and is used as a model for other recovery programs developed across the country.
Today I am happy to see that the House is passing H.R. 2288, to ensure the program can finish the restoration projects identified for complete success. This bill extends the authorization of the program until the year 2023. At that time, the fish species in concern will be fully recovered, and the infrastructure will be in place to ensure continued success. The projects completed to date on the Upper Colorado and San Juan River Basins are examples of outstanding cooperation among a diverse group of local, State, Federal Government agencies, environmental groups, water users, farmers, ranchers, and utility consumers.
People ask why they've never heard of the recovery program, and that is because it has been so successful. The fish identified as being under threat have been substantially maintained. This bill is critical for the continued and final success of the projects necessary for recovery of the endangered fish.
I would also like to note that when this program was enacted, it was done with the understanding that power revenues would be used to pay for the costs of implementing the two fish recovery programs. Due to PAYGO rules, the legislation now lets the power customers only pay a part of the cost of these programs while national taxpayers cover the rest. The original program was agreed to based upon the understanding that power customers would pay for the fish recovery programs, and I hope that they will work with the rest of the parties to fulfill this funding obligation after 2011.
Mr. Speaker, this is a prime example of how one ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. It is one of the most successful recovery programs in the entire country, and I want to thank the chairwoman, and I want to thank Ranking Member McClintock for working with us on this legislation.

Hi Fox54foxy and welcome to the site
Sorry to hear your predicament with your instrument panel?but 5EB covers bikes from 1998 with the old speedo cable to 2002 fully electronic.You are correct in thinking that there is a problem with a permanent live not connecting while the main ignition is off,this could just be a blown fuse in the system? Good Luck

Earlier today, I received quite an interesting e-mail. It was from my e-mail service provider, telling me about a glitch they'd just sorted out. Apparently, when I first received my smartphone, there was an error syncing it up with my E-mail account, causing several E-mails to fail to appear to me properly on my computer or my phone.
What this means is that this is the first time I've seen this decklist from Geoff, despite him having sent it to me last August. Errgh. Sorry about that!
Ok here are the cards. 95% of the time i'm playing multiplayer casual games with anywhere between 2 and 6 other players. The deck just doesnt seem to be consistent. mostly it seems to be that people kill my creatures or playing most things uses up a lot of my mana (the lightning reavers are my main creature, the Demigod's are powerful and a nice side win-condition) i'll tell you a bit about the main decks I play against - there is mono-green stompy beatdown, a blue-red replicate&swerve/willbender deck that uses splinter twin along with willbender or mnemonic wall or pestermite for shenanigans, a very aggressive and fast mono-black vampire bloodthirst beatdown deck with a splash of life control/steal, a White soldier deck, a green-blue infect deck, a multicolour ally deck, and an interesting and actually fairly powerful if slow rainbow and colourless Golem deck (yeah I know I'm as surprised as you are) there's one other player but he has like 24 decks and I'm not gonna waste your time naming them all lol.
Ok onto the deck - since making it I've
discovered good multiplayer cards like
Sizzle and Kazuul, I just don't own any and
want your advice first before buying them
go for the throat x1
terminate x4
breath of malfegor x4
Mana geyser x2 (lots of land on that battlefield.. Ta muchly! :P)
damnation x2
buried alive x1 (for demigods)
banefire x1 (hopefully kill someone off or a nice hit of burn)
reassembling skeleton x2
lightning reaver x4
demigod of revenge x4
Deathbringer thoctar x1 (combos horribly with Night of Soul's Betrayal which i'm thinking of getting dunno what you think?)
Vampire nighthawk x4
Slavering nulls x2
Bloodseeker x2
Kaervek the merciless x1
no mercy x1 (love no mercy haha)
haunted crossroads x2
furnace of rath x1
rain of gore x1 (come across a fair bit of life gain where i play too)

Sent from my iPhone
So Geoff, you've got an iPhone too, huh? Hope yours didn't betray you as badly as mine seems to have. Anyway, I've kept you waiting long enough. Let's get into it.
Multiplayer is a whole different animal than 1-on-1 duels. Card advantage is more important than ever before, and it was always pretty darn important. Terminate is an amazing card in 1-on-1, but in a six-way grand melee, it means you and one other player are each down a card while the other four players are, relatively, up a card. If you want your deck to shine, you have to build it so that it doesn't run out of resources.
Black/red burn, sadly, is probably the worst strategy you could have picked in that regard, with the possible exception of Auras Voltron. Red has always been known for its ability to burn through its gas tank in a hurry. Black is slightly better in that regard, though you're still staring down the fact that you have to deal 20 damage to up to 6 opponents, which is going to take a lot of burn spells. We need to find some means to keep you from running out of steam, as well as some means of deterring your opponents from attacking you.
For starters, take out Doom Blade and Go for the Throat (we'll leave Terminate) in favor of Bituminous Blast. Cascade is a great ability for a deck that doesn't draw much extra cards, and it make the Blast into a double kill spell, a kill spell and a creature, or just about anything else in your deck. I'll concede that Bituminous Blast won't kill 5-toughness creatures, but that's why it's replacing the instants with targeting restrictions. If you regularly go up against creatures with bigger backsides (or don't want to replace two-mana instants with five-mana ones for concern of your curve) then replace them with Tragic Slip instead. It may not look like much, but you can get the Morbid trigger to go off pretty regularly if you pay attention and multiplayer does tend to spawn some pretty big creatures.
I'd also like to add in a few Backlash. As an instant, Backlash can be used to deter an opponent's ready-to-attack creature, or help one player who's attacking another by tapping a blocker and dealing some more damage. It's also hilarious when you hit someone else's Blightsteel Colossus or Hypnotic Specter or whatnot.
Adding Backlash would also set you up nicely for one of my favorite Red recursion spells, Surreal Memoir. The fact that you get two instants back makes it pretty close to a Red Divination, except you already know you're getting useful spells from it. You just don't know which ones exactly.
Blood Tithe and Exsanguinate are definitely good choices in multiplayer and I'm glad you thought of them. The only trouble is that X spells don't work well with Cascade. If you do choose to add Bituminous Blast, definitely choose Blood Tithe over Exsanguinate. In fact, that singleton Banefire isn't doing you much good either, so I'd recommend removing it along with Mana Geyser. Spells that do naught but give you more mana are a great way to run out of cards-- they're only good in Storm decks, decks full of X spells, and combo decks. You, Geoff, are running none of that and your solitary Banefire does not justify the presence of Mana Geyser.
I'm not thrilled with Haunted Crossroads either. It might look cute since it lets you get creatures back, but it really doesn't actually get you any extra cards. It just makes you harder to deck out. If you want to get creatures back, I'd replace the Crossroads with Torrent of Souls. Or to be really cute, Unhallowed Pact, which can double as a time-released Enslave. Better yet, Reaping the Graves, since it fits in with the Surreal Memoir subtheme.
I'd also like to add in some Undying. Undying solves both of your problems-- it discourages people from attacking you (since your blockers will just come back bigger) and it helps you to not run out of cards (since your opponents will have to kill them twice). Butcher Ghoul and Hound of Griselbrand are good chocies, but the best has to be Mikaeus the Unhallowed. He grants +1/+1 and Undying to all your creatures. Imagine an Undying Demigod of Revenge! He also comes with a psuedo-No Mercy effect, but only against Humans.
But since you mentioned that you enjoy No Mercy effects, perhaps you'd prefer Dread. No undying, but its No Mercy effect applies to everything and it's one bigger than Mikaeus (and every bit as evasive). No Mercy is very effective in multiplayer, as it encourages players to attack each other instead of you.
Finally, I'd remove Slavering Nulls and Blood Seeker, and up your Damnation count to four. I like the idea of playing this deck with a control mindset, and Damnation is great for when the rest of the table just seems to have it out for you.
I hope all this has helped, Geoff. I'm just sorry the fix came so long after you sent me the E-mail.
And there's plenty more E-mails that got lost in the smartphone shuffle, so it would appear I've got my work cut out for me for the next few weeks... or months. At least you all won't have to wait long for my next article!
Good luck!

Sadly I will be Sparking less.
Saturday, February 12, 2011
Change is a way of life--some we choose & some are chosen for us.
I chose to take an art class. It finally started a week ago. It means that one night a week I get home late. I didn't want to give up my minimum of four day/week exercise; so I now exercise on Sunday afternoon instead of one workday. This does give me less time to do a lot of the Spark that I have done in the past.
In addition to Sunday afternoon, I have done a lot of my Spark reading & other on my lunch hour. Due to company policies, I will no longer be able to use the computer during my lunch break.
As a result, I have decided to withdraw from three of my Spark team as well as cut back in other ways. There is a lot that I will miss.
I will still log some of my activities on Spark and certain days I will calorie count on my break time and after supper. There is a lot of interaction I will miss.

When life throws you lemons, make lemonade. You do what ever you have to do. Your job is important so you have to follow company rules. Exercise and art class are also important. I'm so glad that you decided to follow your dream and take that art class! I hope that you can still attend our team dinners. You will have lots of wonderful things to share with all of us!

Eileen, I'll still be thinking of you. Do what you can. Enjoy your art class. Accept company rules -- what option is there? Your time for exercise and doing the things you need to succeed as far as weight maintenance goes is top priority. Your life and your program come first; Spark is great, but it comes after. Just the way it is. Take care. Regards, Marsha

Kansas Amusement Ride Bill Likely to Change before Passage
Associated Press - March 23, 2017 11:13 am
Kansas lawmakers are pushing to ramp up amusement ride inspection requirements after a boy was killed on a water slide last year in Kansas City, Kansas. But the bill first could face amendments.
The House Federal and State Affairs Committee heard a bill Thursday that would require amusement rides be inspected by a qualified outside inspector.
The move comes months after Rep. Scott Schwab's son Caleb Schwab was killed last August on the Verruckt water slide at Schlitterbahn. Schwab didn't speak at the hearing and wouldn't comment afterward.
Kansas currently allows self-inspections, and the slide passed those.
Lawmakers and industry members support increasing oversight, but the committee could consider the industry's request that people with ride safety certifications be able to inspect rides.
The committee will hear more testimony Friday.

The primary platinum group metals (PGM) producer also cited enhanced balance sheet strength, the company's people and relationships and its corporate citizenship agenda as other key areas.
"In 2013 we began a fundamental review of our business. Throughout and after the subsequent five month strike in 2014 we took the opportunity to adapt our thinking," Magara said.
(READ MORE: Amcu signs wage agreements with platinum producers)
"This has developed into the strategy, which takes into account the board initiatives laid out in early 2013 around social and community issues as well as operational ones and comprises the four pillars."
Magara further stated that [DATA LON:Lonmin]'s highest short-term priority, in terms of operational excellence, is its Marikana operations.
"As we told the market we would at this time last year, we launched a comprehensive review of our assets and operations. This aims to ensure that Lonmin becomes a superior low cost PGM operator in the medium term, whilst prudently managing risk through all cycles," he said.
"We concluded that our Marikana portfolio utilisation can be further optimised. We are actively pursuing a process of allocating capital to projects that we believe will provide no less than 15 per cent returns and we are reducing capital expenditure in line with cash generation."
The miner did however report a loss for the year ending 30 September 2014 of 203 million dollars from a profit of 198 million dollars for the same period in 2013.
(WATCH VIDEO: Lonmin lost third of annual production due to mining strike)
Lonmin also reported an underlying profit before tax of 46 million dollars in the 2014 year from 158 million dollars in 2013 and underlying earnings per share of 5.4 cents versus 20.5 cents in the prior year.
Magara stated that Lonmin expects to maintain sales of around 750,000 platinum ounces in the medium term.
"This will be supported by capital expenditure of between 250 million dollars and 350 million dollars per annum. We will continue to manage a balance between capital investment and maintaining a sound balance sheet," he said.
"Consequently, capital spend in any year will be subject to prevailing market conditions. Despite the significant inflationary pressures we face, we would expect to contain increases in unit costs to below wage inflation."
He added that the long term fundamentals of the PGM market remain solid and that Lonmin is well positioned for improvement when it comes.
(READ MORE: Lonmin begins its post-strike rebuilding process)
"We have put a bold cost reduction and productivity improvement programme in place to ensure the business is sustainable through all cycles and profitable in the near term. We will mine for value, not just for volume," Magara said.
"We will continue to rebuild our relationships with our employees and develop our relationship with all the unions that represent our employees, building on the Relationship Charter we agreed [to] in early August this year."

Advertising customers of the Curry Coastal Pilot are reporting scam
calls from women falsely representing themselves as having connections
with the Pilot and its sister publication, the Daily Triplicate.
The women reportedly are soliciting ads in a map being produced by a Premier Map Co., according to various Pilot customers.
Neither the Pilot nor the Triplicate have any connection with any outside map company or project from outside the community, according to Pilot Publisher Charles Kocher.
"They were good," said Bill Lyons of Bill's Lawn Care. "But they did a couple of things that tipped me off. They didn't know where Smith River was and then they wanted me to pay today andndash; they didn't want to send me a bill."
The Pilot sent out a marketing alert to 500 customers by e-mail Thursday, warning of the situation.
That e-mail helped Realtor Tim Moore of Re/Max Coast and Country to avoid giving the women any money. "They said the ad would be cheaper because they would use the ad from The Pilot," said Moore. But his caller ID said "withheld number" and that, Moore reported, seemed strange for a sales call.
Similar reports have come from Blue Pacific Realty and Pacific Coast Hearing Center. They received calls about map advertising, with allusions to a connection to the Pilot, but with no way in which to contact the sales team.
Both the Pilot and the Triplicate produce their own community maps. The Pilot's map of Brookings-Harbor is scheduled for sales in February and production in March, just in time for the visitors who come to the coast during spring vacation.
For information about those maps, contact the Pilot at (541) 469-3123 or The Daily Triplicate at (707) 464-2141.
In addition, businesses in Crescent City have complained recently about the poor quality of a map produced by a Premier Map Co.
In September, representatives of Hometown Productions and Premier Map Company, a division of Universal Adcom, came through town selling advertisement space on an upcoming map of Crescent City to local businesses.
"We were taken for a ride," said Suburban Propane manager Kirk Neil, calling the map "an inferior product."
Neil, who paid around $500 for his ad, pulled the maps from his store because of the inaccuracies.
The map, produced by Hometown Productions and Premier Map Company, a division of Universal Adcom, labels Crescent City Harbor as "Monterey Bay."
"I tried to contact the company," Neil said. "But they never returned my calls. I would rather have that money on my bottom line instead of theirs."
A Web search for the two names, Premier Map and Universal Adcom, turned up similar scam reports from across the nation. Universal AdCom officials were not available for a phone call Friday afternoon.

THE cheap seats at the Gold Coast's 5000-seat Convention Centre cost $175. About 7000 fans paid at least that much to watch Englishman Ross Pearson take on Australia's George Sotiropoulos on the weekend.
But the best view remains through the lens of Walkley Award-winning portrait photographer Sam Ruttyn, who was allowed unprecedented access to chronicle the bouts themselves and the intense moments before and after the bloodshed.
Pearson won the headline event, knocking out Sotiropoulos in the third round and consigning the Australian to his third straight UFC defeat.
But it was another Aussie, Robert Whittaker, who emerged as a future star of the sport. The Sydney Railcorp employee earned a potential $100,000 UFC contract by winning his fight, part of TV series The Ultimate Fighter - The Smashes.
He won a unanimous points decision over Brit Brad Scott.
"This is amazing, the moment I walked out into the arena I felt it - the crowd, the energy - I felt it in my heart and from that moment I knew already that I was going to win," Whittaker said.
Irishman Norman Parke took the lightweight crown, declaring he was going home to "drink Guinness and wait for UFC president Dana White to call".
Sam Ruttyn travelled to the Gold Coast courtesy of the UFC.
