Well, the r
eviews have started showing up at Metacritic
, and the score so far is a "mixed" 54, barely worse than Pixar's
Cars 2
at 58 (!), and significantly better than
Green Lantern
at 39
I'm really mixed about whether or not to see this one in the theaters. I mean, I think the previous two are terrible, but there's something compelling about them that suggests they could be improved on.

Our #1 Weed Warrior, Marilyn Binkley has resigned her post effective the end of August 2015. We cannot begin to thank her enough for all she has done for Columbine Lake to rid the area of noxious weeds, and educate all of us in the process! If it weren't for Marilyn's hard work & dedication, we might not enjoy all the wonderful wildlife that pass through here as they do not eat these weeds. Marilyn has offered to complete the spraying schedule through the summer, as well as work the Slash & Trash weekend. Be sure to take a moment & thank Marilyn for all she has done for us!
We are actively seeking volunteers for this program so we can keep it going. Contact the office if you are interested.

Kinnikinnick Water Project Set to Begin!
Columbine Lake Water District will be starting a Water Line Replacement Project beginning Monday, June 22nd. Water lines will be replaced on Kinnikinnick Road, from Western Road to Columbine Drive. This is a huge undertaking and will be on-going throughout the summer. They will be replacing all fire hydrants, plus add an additional five new hydrants. They will be replacing 5000 linear feet of water main and upsize the existing 4″ water main to an 8″ water main.
This project will better accommodate fire flows and domestic use and help provide a more efficient system to our homeowners. Replacement will minimize the District's exposure to emergency pipeline failure and repairs, which the District has been experiencing on Kinnikinnick Road.
Homeowners living on Kinnikinnick should have access to their homes and should not experience loss of water during the project. The project will be done in sections starting from Western Road. Once we receive a schedule of those sections, we will post it on our website. Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding while we undergo this large project.
For updated information regarding this project, go to www.columbinelakewater.com.

There is nothing so practical as a good theory.
Kurt Lewin
The quote from Kurt Lewin aptly captures my philosophy on the role and use of theory. I have been teaching about counseling theory for longer than I care to say, and I consider myself something of a theory freak. I admit that I think theory is fun. However, over the years I have learned that theory is not very useful if you don't know how to apply it; application is what makes theory practical and good. I have struggled to teach the application of theory to my students, trying different methods and models along the way. Knowing that it is sometimes difficult for me, how can I expect the application of theory to be easy for students just learning the basics of counseling theory? That's why I wrote this book; it is an effort to demonstrate the value of theory through its application. Theory comes alive when it is used to understand a client presentation. The pitfalls and strengths of an approach are never more evident than when it is put to use in this way.
The task of understanding a client presentation in a theoretical structure creates a situation in which you need to know the theory in a way that is different from simply knowing its constructs and techniques. At times it is tempting to give up the attempt to apply a theory to a given client presentation, because the theory under consideration just doesn't seem to fit as well as some other one. My experience has been that when this situation occurs, the potential for learning is great. Clients don't offer their problems in theory-laden terms. They tend to speak in their own language, and it is your job to do the best you can to understand that language in ways that are helpful. In essence, you need to interpret the client's presentation in theoretical terms. I have found that theory is most useful when my clients have me confused. Instead of operating on automatic pilot, I am forced to ask, "Now what on earth just happened here?"
In each chapter of this book, I have tried to present the various theories in a straightforward, understandable way. What distinguishes this book from others is that I immediately illustrate the application of a construct or process by showing how it relates to the client case described at the beginning of the chapter. I use different client cases for each chapter for at least two reasons: First, I want to show that theory can apply to clients who range across the broad spectrum of individual and cultural diversity and present with many kinds of distress. Second, I do not want my readers to lose interest from reading about the same case chapter after chapter. In essence, I have tried to make this book interesting without compromising the intellectual quality of the presentations. However, it is an engaging and useful exercise to apply different theories to the same case, so I would urge the users of this book to undertake this task as a way of comparing the approaches in a meaningful way.THE THEORIES I CHOSE
A question always arises about which theories to include in a text like this one. Some choices are obvious; others less so. I included classical Psychoanalysiseven though true analysis may not be common these daysbecause it is the foundation of the profession and the springboard for many other systems. If you ever write something that generates as much love and hate as Freud's work did, you have really created something important. I chose other theoretical approaches based on several criteria: (a) currencywhether the theory is used by professionals in the real world; (b) potential to contribute to understanding of the counseling process even if the reader does not adopt the theory wholesale; and (c) comprehensivenessthe extent to which the theory provides a conceptual structure as well as guidelines for counseling and associated techniques.MY PHILOSOPHY
I am a Counseling Psychologist and a scientist-practitioner, and these aspects of my professional identity influence the structure and content of the presentations in this book. Counseling Psychologists attend to individuals' strengths and are oriented toward health as much as (or more than) they are toward dysfunction. I prefer to look at people through a positive lens, seeing personal strength and the potential to change in every life moment. To focus primarily on deficits seems to me to be a disservice to the human spirit. This emphasis leads to the use of terms such as client instead of patient and dysfunction rather than disorder. I also include sections in each theory chapter that describe the theory's version of the healthy personality.
An important element of the identity of a Counseling Psychologist is a commitment to the scientist-practitioner model. The scientist in me wants some confirmation that a theoretical structure is valid. This is not to say that I endorse the idea of one true reality; rather, I consider myself an intellectual pragmatist. I simply want some evidence that the version of reality presented by a given theoretical structure actually helps me to understand the counseling process and to help my clients. The sections on research support in each theory chapter grew out of this empirical bent. Philosophically, I lean toward the contextual perspective, rooted in Frank and Frank's (1991) work and further supported and elaborated by Bruce Wampold. You'll find this model described in chapter 14. It would be nice if we could find the one true theory, but for now I think that that possibility is fairly remote, and the data seem to support this position.
Another defining feature of Counseling Psychology is attention to individual and cultural diversity. We are all aware that our world is changing and that, historically, counseling and psychotherapy have been mired in a Caucasian, Western European, male model. The failure to recognize the biases inherent in this model (e.g., emphasis on individualism, a lack of attention to social and cultural forces in people's lives) is, to be blunt, unethical. I have attempted to address these issues systematically in each chapter. I have also selected clients and counselors of diverse backgrounds for the case presentations.
My concern about the effects of sexual bias in language has led me to the solution of alternating the singular pronouns used in this text. In the theory chapters the pronouns used match those of the client and counselor in the case study. If the client is female, references to client issues and processes in the discussion of theory employ feminine pronouns. If the therapist is male, reference to therapist activities or processes employ masculine pronouns. The diverse cases include men and women in both client and counselor roles. In chapters 1 and 14, pronouns are alternated randomly.--This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

The racecourse with which I have an adjoining native (mainly hawthorn) hedge cut it yesterday as they always do at this time of the year, so I expect it's fine to do it now. They use a rather impressive tractor attachment, which they need having several miles of hedges to cut. Think of a 5 foot wide cylindrical lawnmover on the end of a hydraulic arm like this:
Yes, I found a larger crop was produced but ripened much later than the plants I had treated as cordons. In fact the season ran out and half of the fruit on the 'au naturel' plants never had time to ripen. If you live somewhere with a longer growing season than central UK or have a heated greenhouse then it might be worth trying.
Celery can be a bit of a challenge too Gemma. Seems OK in some gardens but not others. Over the years I've tried just about everything veg-wise and now know what grows well here and what doesn't. Your own experience is the most valuable thing there is so my advice is to give everything you fancy a go and see how you get on!
I agree with Mel - nothing quite as useful as a running 'garden diary' complete with sketches of what you planted where and when. That works for the whole garden and, apart from being an invaluable future reference, stops you slicing through those lovely tulip bulbs you forgot you planted right just there!
I'd also never remember which of my 40-odd clematis were which if I didn't have a diagram. Labels just don't work around here (and I'm not keen on seeing them anyway)!
'Sungold' for orange cherry sized ones, 'Suncherry premium' for the red equivalent, 'Marmande' and 'Legend' for large ones and 'Cristal' for the reddest of red standard sized tomatoes. All of those are very tasty.
The 'to be shredded' pile is getting rather large here, nut! I'm also going to coppice a Hazel as it's grown so large that it's shading some fruit trees so thinking about removing it completely. It has produced some babies (probably with the aid of squirrels) so I'll move a couple of those to a more suitable area if I decide to dig it up. I'll wait until I've enjoyed the catkins for a few weeks first though.
Edd, it doesn't have a name as such as it's too dim to be seen with the naked eye but is catalogued as SAO 76167 and GSC1800:1974. Not very exciting but that's astronomers for you - everything has to be catalogued! More interestingly, most of the bright stars visible to the unaided eye have Arabic names from when Arab astronomers were very active back in the 10th century. No planets in that photo but the brightest "star" you can see low down in the East now and over the next few weeks is the planet Jupiter (not from here though - it's foggy!)
The house opposite me put theirs up two weeks ago! I must admit they are very pretty and tastefully done though.
That will work but might be impractical for a large area and soil will generally revert to its natural pH over time, so regular mulching with more EC would be necessary. It's not far off neutral, so most plants would be ok but if you want to grow acid lovers (eg blueberries) then containers or raised beds with EC are the best bet I find.
There's unlikely to be enough light at this time of the year for the plant to be able to set and grow fruit, daisy, even though you seem to have it indoors so it will be warm enough. There's a good chance it will survive through this winter though and if it does, re-pot it to a slightly larger pot in spring and I'm sure you'll have a good crop next summer.
Hi all, this one (taken with a Canon DSLR camera attached to my telescope) seems quite seasonal to me. It is of three of the main stars in the Pleiades, more commonly known as the Seven Sisters. These stars are passing through a cloud of gas and dust which reflects the blue light from these very hot, young stars. The star in the centre is known as Merope which illuminates the gas around it called the Merope nebula:

Carl Paladino's opposition to homosexuality: "Exactly equivalent to the Catholic Church"
David Gibson October 11, 2010 - 9:34am
That's kind of a scary statement given the latest comments by the Tea Party fave and GOP gubernatorial candidate for governor in New York. Paladino has a hard-earned reputation for being, let's say, mercurial, and his statements on Sunday about gays at an Orthodox synagogue in Brooklyn plus his kind-of-walkback on the "Today" show this ayem only reinforce that.I have a story on the exchanges here, and NYT coverage is here.What intrigued me, in light of our recent discussions of Catholic teaching and gay bullying and the gay marriage battle by the bishops, were these quotes from Paladino's campaign manager, Michael R. Caputo, in reference to Paladino's often sneering dismissal of homosexuals:
"Carl Paladino is simply expressing the views that he holds in his heart as a Catholic," Caputo told The Times. "Carl Paladino is not homophobic, and neither is the Catholic Church."
Caputo continued that line in remarks to CNN.
"Carl Paladino's position on this is exactly equivalent to the Catholic Church," Caputo said. "And if Andrew Cuomo has a problem with the Catholic Church's position on abortion and homosexuality, he needs to take it up with his parish priest."
Caputo may be right, but does Paladino's tone at least merit a pastoral response from someone in the Catholic hierarchy? And is his attitude representative of how many Catholics internalize -- and then express -- church teaching on/against homosexuality and gays and lesbians?
Commenting Guidelines
P.S. For what it's worth -- and this is certainly somehow related to the theme we're discussing here -- I'd like to share a message I found in my email inbox when I returned from lunch. This comes from a person who gives his name, and whom I've never met. I have no idea who he is or how he happens to have my email address. His email address suggests to me he belongs to a Christian group of some sort centered in the U.K.He writes, "Dear freind, You and your partner are deluded to believe that God would just some how overlook your sin. please don't go to Hell, Please. Repent turn from your wicked ways, and Yahoshua will attone for your sins. Sodomites, efeminates, Liers ect will not enter the kingdom of God. But I hope you do."I'm rather flattered to learn that I am sinning so gloriously I merit a special call to repentance from across the ocean. Even so, I do wonder if there aren't perhaps more glorious sinners in the world to whom Christians ought to be paying attention, even as they dog the steps of boring gay couples like the one of which I'm a part.
William,About a dozen comments ago, you suggested that it would be a good time to stop. I agree. For what seems like a month but is apparently only a few days, I have repeatedly said that there are no perfectly-oriented people. Yet you continue to feel that I demonize you for your same-sex desires. I cannot take responsibility for your decision to do this.Once again, best wishes.
I wish you well, too, Kathy, and have enjoyed the conversation.
Amazing how simple logic escapes so many. The C atholic teaching follows the biblical. Homosexuals are humans, made in God's image and likeness as are all humans. Humans are not supposed to poisin their bodies with th wrong food, too much alcohol and need to work and exercise and take their 'sabbath-time" reasonably. There is no comparison between those who presumed that left-nhanded pean panship no longer a 'punishable offense" can be compared to acting out same-gender gential activity. The latter is as futile and barren as trying to write left-jhanded without an istrument. We love the person but not the non-life giving activity. It is possible with grace to life a peace--filled marriage and to live celibately and happily, desite the millions of failures around the world and history. Same goes for same-gender people- celibacy does not rule out fruitfulness and happy, healthy living. Grace builds on nature, Grace has to be given permission by our attitude, habits and healthy work, exercise and rest as is necesary for all worthwhile fully human activity. Ignorant comments from any source about marriage celibacy or genitality are to be expected but seen exactly for that they are- ignorant and cannot be attributed to the speaker's/writer's faith Tradiiton or political party or group.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for MANNA PROJECT INTERNATIONAL, Nashville, TN, USA
I first volunteered with Manna Project during my freshman year of college at Vanderbilt University. They were offering short-term service trips to Nicaragua, and I was lucky enough to join without knowing what I was getting into. From there I was hooked on international development. Seeing people just out of college working full-time in Latin American countries inspired me to get more involved in service back in the States, and eventually led me to Guatemala, where I now work full time for Manna. The organization gives its employees a significant amount of early responsibility, and has a good volunteer development program in place that pushes us to put the community's wishes first in our work. Instead of strict protocol there's flexible dialogue, and instead of consultants and oversight, there's encouragement and freedom. On the ground we provide dedicated service to the communities where we work and push ourselves to create sustainable initiatives that utilize existing strengths, work through partner organizations, and highlight positive deviants to motive other residents.
More Feedback
Would you volunteer for this group again?
For the time you spent, how much of an impact did you feel your work or activity had?

Did the organization use your time wisely?
Very Well
Would you recommend this group to a friend?
What one change could this group make that would improve your volunteer experience?
Greater resources in anticipation of the trip.
Did your volunteer experience have an effect on you? (teaching you a new skill, or introducing new friends, etc.)
As a result of my early volunteer experiences with Manna Project I now work full-time with the organization and am planning on continuing in the international development field.
How did this volunteer experience make you feel?
Humbled and moved by the dedication of people I respected dedicating their careers to international service.
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

unicode possibilities
It would be nice if cl-user would display unicode input for CJK text. With PCL and On Lisp getting new printings in Japan, it might be beneficial to attract more brain-share from that side of the world. Would this be considered out of cl-user.net's scope?

Police are seeking the public's help to track down two suspects in connection with a late-December shooting during an apparent robbery that left a man critically wounded in West Oak Lane.
In surveillance video released by police Wednesday, one suspect approaches the victim's car, goes inside briefly, and then exits. The second suspect then enters the victim's car. That's when cops say the second suspect took out a handgun and shot the victim several times, critically wounding him.
The shooting happened at about 9:40 p.m. the night of Dec. 27 at 19th Street and 76th Avenue.
The family of a Villanova University student killed in 2010 when a motorist fleeing police in a stolen Range Rover crashed into his car in Haverford has started a memorial scholarship fund at the school.
Daniel Giletta, 21, a Villanova senior from Wyckoff, N.J., died Sept. 29, 2010, after Donnie Sayers of Bryn Mawr hit his Volkswagen Jetta at more than 80 mph. Giletta's roommate, Frank Patrick DiChiara, 22, a Villanova junior, was critically injured in the collision but survived. Police arrested Sayers a few days later, and he pleaded guilty last May to homicide by vehicle while driving drunk and on PCP. He was sentenced to 13 to 26 years in prison.
The new scholarship will benefit Villanova students in engineering, Giletta's chosen field of study.
Police are searching for a man wanted in a string of robberies in December and January, including a gunpoint holdup of Holme Circle's Circle Pharmacy, on Holme Avenue near Winchester, Jan. 25.
Cops on Monday released surveillance video of that robbery, during which police said the suspect demanded various medications before fleeing on foot at 6:54 p.m.
Police described the suspect as a thin white or Hispanic man between 5 feet 8 and 5 feet 11 who wore a brown hooded sweatshirt, dark blue jeans, black gloves and a white cloth over his face.
A 24-year-old man was shot to death in broad daylight on an Overbrook street Monday afternoon.
Police said the man was outside at 55th and Hunter streets at 1:41 p.m. when he was shot twice in the chest. He was taken to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania by medics, where he was pronounced dead at 2:07 p.m.
Police described the suspect as a thin black man, 5 feet 7 inches tall with a goatee. He wore a gray hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans, black Nike sneakers and a black hat and was armed with a silver revolver.
A 53-year-old man was robbed and stabbed in West Philadelphia Monday night.
The man was near 46th and Walnut streets just after 9 p.m. when he was approached by an unknown suspect who stabbed him in the back four times and stole his wallet, police said. The man was taken to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and listed in stable condition as of 9:45 p.m.
Police have not made any arrests in the incident.
Police on Monday announced the arrest of the second suspect wanted in connection with several gunpoint robberies in North Philadelphia.
Timothy Ballard, 33, of Erie Avenue near 9th Street, surrendered to police on Wednesday. The other suspect, Kevin Wilson, 27, of Franklin Street near Butler, surrendered on Dec. 5.
After receiving several anonymous tips, police identified the pair as suspects in the November robberies, including those of at least four of Temple University students near the school's main campus.
Two men were shot while sitting in a car in Hartranft Sunday night, police said.
The men, who a sergeant in the East Detective Division said are in their 20s, were both wounded by the same bullet near 7th and Cumberland streets. One man was hit in the nose, and the other in the wrist, police said.
The men were taken to Temple University Hospital in stable condition and were expected to be treated and released.
Police arrested Jamal Glover, 23 of North Philadelphia, for allegedly shooting a 19-year-old man to death on Cambria Street near Stiles in late May.
An argument on May 23 escalated to gunfire, and Glover, of Stillman Street near Somerset, shot Britten multiple times throughout his body, police said.
Britten, of Silver Street near 25th, was taken to Temple University Hospital and was pronounced dead around 5:30 p.m.

The 2014/15 saw yet another hugely successful season for the teams of SoCal Premier League.
Our crowning jewel, the Premier Division, saw a new champion ascend to the throne. SoCal Real put together a near perfect season to overcome top opposition in route to becoming champions.
The Women's Premier League had quality in every team, with Beach FC showing Real how to truly complete an undefeated season!
The Men's Major and First division titles were won by an ever-present force in Outbreak SC and Outbreak SC Reserves, respectively (Formerly Beach SC).
Finally on the league front, the 35+ division saw PSA run away with the league title via a glorious undefeated season!
Not only did teams compete in the highly competitive regular season, we also saw the highest quality of play take place in our acclaimed cup competitions. The Raul Briones Cup saw all men's league teams pitted against each other, with Artesia DES overcoming Chula Vista in a hard fought final. In the Friendship Cup, Hunnover FC overcame FCUK United to win a well deserved trophy. Finally, the Masters Cup saw PSA overcome Purple in a tight 2-1 affair.
Congratulations to all of our Champions for the 2014/15 Season.
Who will take the top spots in the upcoming 2015/16 seasons? Register now to save your position!
Part I Jϋrgen Klinsman: Spark of the Soccer Revolution?
Jϋrgen Klisnman's ties to the national team are obvious. He assumed the mantle as USMNT coach back in 2011. He has lead the USMNT through a period of transformation, and what some would label as success.
He first reclaimed the Gold Cup title for the U.S. in 2013, he then solidified the USMNT's qualification into the 2014 World Cup, and finally guided them through what many experts called "The Group of Death" at the World Cup. He did this while attempting to change the ethos of US Soccer as a whole, as well as the playing style of the USMNT.
While these contributions to the game at the highest level as manager are well known, what is less known to many others are his days as a player in the SoCal Premier. Back in those days soccer was still fighting for the public eye, and a player of Klinsman's pedigree was still able to have relative anonymity on the playing fields of Southern California in the SoCal Premier.
Even in what many would view as "past his prime" in regards to playing shape, he would still be an extremely impactful player out on the pitch according to several first hand reports from players that had the honor (some may say misfortune) of lining up against him.
For Jϋrgen Klinsman, SoCal Premier was a place of landing. After a long and illustrious career at the highest level, this was a place where he could continue to stay active, and keep playing the game he loved. For some people, the league serves as a place where former high level players can satiate their appetite for a competitive match. For others like Miguel Ibarra and Christian Ramirez, the SCP served as a training ground, a place to prepare and stay sharp for the rigors of the professional game...
Continued in Part II
The day is March 21st, 2015. The reigning National Champions Beach Futbol Club take the field at Occidental College in Los Angeles. It has been just a few weeks since they edged local powerhouse So Cal Select in what could be a budding rivalry. Today however, they take the field and line up across from a familiar opponent. Staring back at them they see LA Villa FC, one of the challengers to their currently held pole position on the table. At the sound of the ref's whistle, the match comes to life.
Everyone present is treated to the highest quality of play. Is this a professional match, or some pro development league? Even better, it is the SoCal Premier Women's Division.
The SCP Women's Premier Division has already established itself as the best local competition for the adult women's game. The league boasts two teams from the WPSL (including the reigning national champs), a local powerhouse that travels all over the world to challenge teams internationally, and several other quality teams.
Together under the SoCal Premier umbrella, these ladies have come together in pursuit of the highest level of women's adult soccer available to them in the Southern California area. The Summer Season has concluded, and Beach Futbol Club were crowned champions!

Yep. They have no D. At least UW losing helps us more.

Yep. They have no D. At least UW losing helps us more.
MSU will probably also score with too much time left.
Wisconsin, if you have any balls, unleash the fury out now.
why the fuck NFL music?!?!?!?!?!?
Stop it. Your screaming is stupid and anyone who thinks you are good is stupid.
So I'm guessing that MSU guy is downvoting every post in this thread? Sweet
Come on folks we can break 1000 posts.
Not a catch
out of bounds
Do we want little bro to win this couch burning contest?
But Damn was that some amazing effort
Did the announcer actually say, "Oh, my goodness!" ?
Wow, the announcers have no idea what constitutes out of bounds or a controlled catch. They wnet back and forth about 8 times in a minute.
Not In bounds and no control = no catch? Who would have guessed?
Holy shit they just punted.
I think they should have an awesome-catch rule that says a catch like that is a complete catch as long as it's pretty close. But I'm not sorry to see that one overturned, either.
wisconsin showing some defense
They have scored 42 versus your defense. Now you are giving them the chance to force you to burn timeouts. Strange playcalling.
On, Wisconsin. I'd rather take our chances with the BCS than see those thugs win.
Totally agree.
Totally agree.
can these announcers ask themselves in the final 2 minutes? Should they run or punt on third down, Gus? I think they'll run it...
MSU in Tempe has a nice ring to it.
How many timeouts does msu have left?
That's why they punted. Flip the field position, stack up against the run and stop it. Wisco has been stuffed on the inside runs from the 2nd quarter onwards.
Really disappointed in that playcalling. MSU will get the ball with plenty of time. Goal should've been get a first down.
SPARTY NOOOO!!! They hit the punter, didn't they?
If Wiscy wins, they should call it the Stagg trophy.
Given the challenges MSU faces with the legal establishment, if Sparty wins, it should definitely be called the Paterno.
No matter the result this game has been amazing.
No discipline. Typical.
Same old sparty anyone? Same old sparty.
Sparty, NO!
There's that legendary MSU discipline.
Sparty... ohh. (knew you had it in you.)
I give credit to the announcers
100 percent Schadenfreude!
Of all the times to lose discipline. Sparty no!
LOL there is your sparty NO moment. Thank you and good night.
Sparty... ohh. (knew you had it in you.)
I'm so confused now. Does it matter at all for us if sparty loses?
Same ol' spartoons.
Great game.
But worst possible outcome for us (though probably not going to make a BCS bit of difference. Probably.)
Wow. That penalty ends it. wow. I feel for that kid who drew that penalty.
Why on earth would you go after the punt like that? I think its stupid... risk is too high (as proved).

Will gain 20 points after earnings pop
Maybe you are right, who knows, but here are some facts that might interest you. In GMCR's Q2 2013 report they missed revenue guidance and lowered revenue guidance for the remainder of the year. Machine sales fell by 9% in the quarter and k-cup prices fell by greater than $.01 per k-cup during the quarter. Share count saved the day as the company had far fewer shares in the float YOY. Just some points of interest.
Seth, Are you suggesting concern that because GMCR missed Q2 that it may be an indicator that SODA Q2 may not have been great?
Yes and what happen??????? It pop 17 points in one day. Since when are fundamentals the only thing driving a stock? GMCR has the train going fast and it will take a REALLY bad report for it to tank. Soda, on the otherhand, has always tank but once after earnings.
Aqua broke the cardinal rule, he cried in SODA. Now he's whining. Doesn't own a share, but always here subtly bashing hoping for a lower entry. That's as bad as it gets IMO. GL Longs. What up Seth, happy hump day.

Peppersauce Campground
Located around 45 minutes northeast of Tucson, along the Control Road up Mt. Lemmon's north slope, Peppersauce Campground is tucked away in a shallow, tree-filled canyon cut by Peppersauce Creek through rolling foothills covered with grass, oaks and yucca.
Campsites at Peppersauce are spread throughout a creekside oasis of enormous Arizona sycamores and Arizona walnut trees that cast deep shade in summer and a touch of color in autumn. These venerable trees (and some equally notable clumps of poison ivy) cling to the banks of Peppersauce Creek, which provides sufficient moisture for them to prosper in spite of the fact that its rocky streambed is dry most of the year.
Of course, beware of the flash floods – this creek can become a raging torrent in minutes when there is rain in the mountains above.
With its picturesque vegetation and dramatic setting at the foot of Mt. Lemmon, this is an outstanding area for enjoying an afternoon picnic or a weekend campout. But while you're here, you'll want to keep an eye on your hot sauce. This canyon was named by prospector Alex McKay, who camped here in about 1880 and reported that his hot sauce came up missing. The perpetrator (if there was one) has yet to be apprehended.
For more information, visit the US Forest Service's Peppersauce Campground website.

Will Electric Harley Become Hollywood's Next Tesla?
Harley-Davidson's gas-powered "hogs" are already popular with riders like George Clooney. Harley's new electric motorcycle could become a status ride like Tesla's Model S.
Add Harley-Davidson to the list of vehicle manufacturers that will have an electric on their roster.
The Milwaukee-based motorcycle legend unveiled an electric model, the LiveWire, in New York this week.
Compared to the classic Harley hog, the new electric is far sleeker and comparatively hushed — the thunderous exhaust note from a gas-powered Harley's V-twin engine is replaced by a turbine whine that the company compares to a jet engine spooling for takeoff.
Electric motorcycles by Zero and Brammo have already carved out a niche among younger riders. Harley's entrance into the market — along with Yamaha, which has said it will also field an electric bike — has the potential to bring electrics to a much larger audience.
The Harley electric will have a range of about 130 miles and take an hour to charge. The company said it might provide charging stations through its dealer network.
STORY Will BMW's X5 Plug-in Hybrid Beat Tesla's Model X?
Conventional Harleys are already popular among Hollywood's motorcycle gang — Dax Shepard and George Clooney ride them. The company has also worked closely with filmmakers to get its bikes into franchises like Captain America — the new electric was spotted being filmed for the next installment of the Avengers.
Whether an electric Harley will enjoy the cachet of the Tesla Model S, currently the default Hollywood status car, remains to be seen.
Just don't look for Clooney — who famously traded barbs with Tesla CEO Elon Musk over his disappointment with an early Tesla roadster that he said always left him "stuck on the side of the f—ing road" — to trade his gas-powered hog for an electric bike anytime soon.
