Hosted at Cookwork's flagship location at Granville and Broadway the event began with an introduction of the evening's two main ingredients: the wine and the food. The wine being Yellow Tail's Reserve Chardonnay and Reserve Shiraz. The food being Chef Karen Barnaby's creations of Asian-Fusion small plates.
Chef Barnaby, of Stanley Park's Fish House, is truly a Vancouver icon. Her restaurant has been a top Vancouver culinary destination for years. This was my first chance to see her in action and it was a pleasure as she has a wonderful presence and sense of humour. Food was not just prepared for us; we were treated to a group cooking lesson and I was happy to soak up as much knowledge as I could.
The dinner commenced with the Yellow Tail rep introducing the Chardonnay. For our review, please visit http://www.iconscores.blogspot.com/. The Chard was paired with the first four dishes.
First up was "Edamame with Garlic, Chilies & Soy". A delectable little starter that had just the right amount of spice and paired well with the smoky Chard.
The second dish was "Baked Oysters with Wasabi Mayonnaise". I enjoyed this dish, but not being a huge mayonnaise fan I was a little overwhelmed by the flavour. This dish also paired nicely with the buttery and creamy taste of the Chardonnay.
The third course was "Tofu Croque Monsieur" followed by "Rare Tuna with Pear, Pine Nuts and Chili Oil". The Tuna would have been better paired with Yellow Tail's Reserve Pinot Grigio, but this wine is not yet available in western Canada.
After a short shopping break the dinner resumed and we switched to the Reserve Shiraz for the final two courses "Beef Tenderloin Rolls with Enoki Mushrooms & Laughing Cow Cheese" and "Sake Lees Marinated Sablefish with Sweet Soy Chili Glaze."
The Reserve Shiraz did not pair well with the Sablefish. It is a very delicate fish that deserved a more delicate and subtle wine like a fine Pinot Noir, not the big full-bodied Shiraz that the Yellow Tail reps were pouring. However, the Shiraz was a nice sipper that went down easily and likely lead to a few more high-end cookware purchases for the host store.
This was the first of the many planned Chef Table Dinners at Cookworks. I highly recommend the experience for foodies and wine enthusiasts alike (they are so often one-and-the-same anyway). To find out more information about upcoming Cookworks events visit their website: http://www.cookworks.ca/

It's been a week since I last rode (I had to let the tattoo heal). I took my usual weekend 34 mile ride with over 2,000 feet of gain. I averaged over 14 miles per hour. Nothing to brag about but it was a respectable average with a 2,000+ gain. The best thing about climbing is going back down. My maximum speed was 50mph. It's not my fastest, I can only spin up to 40 mph and then it's all gravity after that. I need bigger hills! Regardless it feels incredibly stable on the 700. With the 700's low center of gravity and with me sticking my big ole head way outboard I can keep good speed in the curves. I can't imagine that there is any trike that can perform better at speed.
I had nothing better to do then take these pictures of my 700 while taking a break and chomping down on a power bar.

September 30, 2011
So, you can lend money to an over-indebted government for the next 30 years at a return of 3 percent and hope like heck that inflation and long term interest rates hold at well less than 3 percent for the next 30 years. Good luck on that one, although a lot of money continues to flow in that direction.
It's the last day of the quarter that can't end soon enough for a lot of people. We'll end it with a little flurry of economic data, including personal income and consumption at 8:30, the September PMI number at 9:45, which is expected to drop by a point to 55½, and the final Consumer Sentiment reading from the U of M at 9:55.
Outside of all that, it's an ear out for earnings warnings, but both eyes on Europe. Stocks over there are lower by 1½ to 3 percent. Australia was flat but most Asian markets were lower overnight.
At this point, adjusted for fair value, the S&P futures are lower about 10 points, the Dow futures are down 90, and the NASDAQ futures are about 21 points below fair value.
One day after the Boston Red Sox booted a chance to keep playing the game, the German Parliament voted this morning to keep playing the game of kicking the euro-can down the road. And while the ultimate resolution of the European debt problem is still nowhere in sight, we've at least been spared a follow-up selling panic today.
Yesterday, the Dow took about a 300 point swan dive from top to bottom on worries about that German vote and in response to a Ben Bernanke speech. Mr. Bernanke says that this country's jobless situation is a "national crisis" and that the Fed might have to do even more to ease credit conditions. Just in case you thought the Germans were the only can-kickers around.
At 8:30, the Government will kick out its final verdict on 2ndquarter Gross Domestic Product. It's expected to be revised to a pretty anemic 1.2%, from an even more anemic 1.0 percent.
Advanced Micro Devices warned about slipping sales last night.
Asian markets were mixed, the U.K. is down, but France and Germany are now a bit higher. We should get off to a decent start barring a big GDP surprise.
At this point, adjusted for fair value, the S&P futures are higher by about 10 points, the Dow futures are up 92 points, and the NASDAQ futures are about 14 points above fair value.
You may recall that on Monday, we launched the last week of the 3rdquarter, and were on the lookout for companies that would announce an earnings warning during the week. After all, with the stock market seemingly signaling economic hardship last week, you'd expect that things are slowing down.
Well, so far, not much for the big boys. Yesterday, in fact, Jabil Circuit and Accenture, the big consulting firm, guided earnings and revenue higher. Of course, we still have three days to go in the quarter.
Only ten minutes to go before the August Durable Goods report is released. Expect a moderate two-tenths of a percent increase, after July's big four percent surge. That number was goosed by a snap back in car sales as Japan recovered from the earthquake and tsunami.
Gold and silver as just very slightly lower this morning, as they are seemingly settling down after last week's big losses.
Overseas markets are painting a mixed picture. Our futures aren't nearly as strong as they were 24 hours ago, or for that matter even an hour ago, but they're still indicating rising stock prices at 9:30. At this point, adjusted for fair value, the S&P futures are higher by about 3½ points, the Dow futures are up about 48, and the NASDAQ futures are about 11 points above fair value.
Oh, it's SO much more fun riding a roller coaster than a merry-go-round, don't you think?
Yesterday was a breath of fresh air for stock prices after last week's drubbing, and if you liked yesterday, you'll be loving today – at least in the early going. Fresh hopes of at least a temporary fix to the Eurozone debt problems have major European markets up 3 to 4 percent this morning, after most major Asian markets rose 2 to 5 percent overnight. Even gold is participating, up almost 75 dollars an ounce, after losing well over 200 dollars over the last three trading days.
Today's economic report of note will be the Conference Board's gauge of Consumer Confidence, which is expected to show a teeny improvement to 46½ after last month's nearly 15 point decline. An hour before that, the July S&P Case-Shiller home price index of 20 major markets is expected to report nearly stable prices. That would amount to a 4½ percent price decline from a year ago.
Keep an eye on Apple shares, after yesterday's report out of JP Morgan citing a 25% cut in supplier orders for ipad components. Apple lost a little ground yesterday, but is indicated about 5 dollars higher pre-market.
Hang on to your hats and keep all valuables tucked in your pockets – the roller coaster rolls again at 9:30. At this point, adjusted for fair value, the S&P futures are higher by about 21 points, the Dow futures are up about 184, and the NASDAQ futures are about 32 points above fair value.
Traders will once again focus on Europe this week as European policy makers keep trying to find a way to get the German taxpayers to pay off the Greek taxpayers' debt without making the Germans too angry. Okay, that's an overstatement, but not much of one. There's a vote regarding the latest plan in the German Bundestag this coming Thursday.
Even though the Lions had a pretty good third quarter yesterday, we've had a pretty miserable third quarter in the stock market. Fortunately, it will be over at the end of the week. Keep an eye out for companies that take this opportunity to warn about potential shortfalls in their third quarter earnings performance.
At 8:30, the August New Home Sales Report is expected to reflect a 4% decline.
Gold is down another 24 bucks an ounce after a rather breathtaking 100 dollar dive on Friday. Oil, meanwhile has inched up just 7 cents or so, almost back to the 80 dollar per barrel mark once again.
Major Asian markets that traded were about 2 percent lower overnight, but European markets are roughly 3 percent higher this morning, with banking stocks leading the way.
Our stock futures have cooled off a bit over the past half-hour, but are still suggesting that we're in for a meaningful rise in prices at 9:30. At this point, adjusted for fair value, the S&P futures are higher by about 12 ½ points, the Dow futures are up about 106, and the NASDAQ futures are about 15½ points above fair value.
The only good news for stock prices yesterday came in the form of a little rally in the last half hour. That saved the Dow from a 500 plus-point loss. But, what we gained back in that half hour may be gone in the first ten minutes today.
Reports out of Europe have Greece getting closer and closer to their seemingly inevitable debt default. The Greek Government is in denial of that report, among lots of other things. In Washington, yet another deadline looms on appropriating funds to run our Government. That, and a lot of money flooding into the bond market as the hedge funds try to front-run the Fed, and we'll see more pressure on stock prices early on.
The revolving door that leads to the executive suite at Hewlett-Packard continues to spin full speed. After that political thing didn't quite work out, Meg Whitman has found a chair at the head of the table at HP. She will have her hands full reversing the spiral that has more than halved the price of Hewlett-Packard stock since the middle of last year.
European markets are getting hammered again this morning. Germany and France are off another 3 percent. England is off a percent and a half. Hey, Japan wasn't down at all. They, of course were closed for the day.
And don't look now, but gold is down another 2½ percent and spot silver is getting crushed this morning, down more than 10 percent.
Need some good news? Last night Nike beat estimates and their shares were up about 5 percent after-market.
At this point, adjusted for fair value, the S&P futures are down 18 points, the Dow futures are down 168, and the NASDAQ futures are about 38 points below fair value.
Well, yesterday's policy announcement from the Federal Reserve looks like it will be the "pivot point" of the week. And, as they say "it's all downhill from here." The Fed has managed to pull off the very difficult task of coming up with a new monetary strategy that is making everyone unhappy. The free money folks wanted more, the tea party guys wanted nothing, and anyone holding stocks apparently wants to sell them so far today.
Of course, it's not all Bernanke's fault. A lousy manufacturing number in China overnight and a lack of any resolution of the Greek tragedy in Europe are contributing to the global selloff.
If you're hoping for some economic news that might turn the tide, the only hope on the horizon is the 10 o'clock report on August Leading Economic Indicators. Unfortunately, it's expected to reflect a big fat zero, following up July's increase of one half of one percent. Of course, there's the weekly Jobless Claims number at 8:30, but if you think that THAT will be good news, well, you really are quite the optimist. Expect 420,000 new claims.
FedEx beat earnings estimates by a penny, but then lowered full-year guidance a bit on rising fuel costs. FedEx shares are lower by about one percent pre-market.
Overseas, things are a mess. All major markets are at least 2 percent lower. Russian stocks are more than 6 percent lower. At this point, adjusted for fair value, the S&P futures are down 29 points, the Dow futures are down 246, and the NASDAQ futures are about 51 points below fair value.
2:15 this afternoon could well prove to be the pivot point of the week. Ben Bernanke and the Fed's Open Market Committee are expected to roll out their latest plan to save the world, or at least lower the unemployment rate. It's expected that they will not expand their holdings of U.S. Government bonds, but will try to push down on long term interest rates by changing the duration of the portfolio. If you don't understand all that, don't worry. It's not likely to change anyone's chances of getting a job anyway.
Computer system Software and hardware firm Oracle appears to be getting the job done. Last night, Oracle reported a 36 percent rise in annual profit. Operating earnings were 48 cents per share, beating estimates by a penny. Better software and service revenue helped to offset disappointing server sales.
We'll get the August Existing Home Sales number at 10 o'clock. Expect an annualized rate of 4.75 million units. But make no mistake, absent some significant news about the European debt crisis, stock prices should stay pretty much on hold until Bernanke grabs the spotlight at 2:15.
Mainland China rose 3 percent overnight, but other markets overseas paint a mixed picture. At this point, adjusted for fair value, the S&P futures are down 5 points, the Dow futures are down 40, and the NASDAQ futures are about 6 points below fair value.
Standard & Poor's downgraded Italian sovereign debt last night. European markets seem to be saying, "Yeah, we knew that" this morning, as most of them are higher on the order of one to one and a half percent.
On this side of the Atlantic, we're looking to make up most of the ground lost yesterday right off the get-go. Traders are focusing on the widely anticipated third act of the Federal Reserve's play entitled "How we saved the economy." This act may be called, "Let's twist again, like we did last summer."
Tomorrow, the Fed is expected to bring back an economic tool from the 1960's, popularly dubbed "Operation Twist" in which they would attempt to lower interest long term interest rates by buying long-term Government bonds and selling short term bonds. The idea is to stimulate the economy. The problem may be that high interest rates are the least of the problems the economy >
One problem we may all >
Asia mixed, Europe higher. At this point, adjusted for fair value, the S&P futures are up 9½ points, the Dow futures are up 82, and the NASDAQ futures are about 21 points above fair value.
A carbon copy of last week would be good news for stock prices. Last week the markets rose every day for the best week they've had since July. However, today is another day, as they say. Renewed worries about Greece, the Eurozone and this morning's expected lecture from President Obama have the stock futures pointing decidedly lower.
At 10:30, the President will reportedly pass out the proposed invoice for his Jobs spending proposal of a couple of weeks ago. But don't worry, if you're one of the roughly 50 percent of the population who doesn't pay any income tax, you'll likely have nothing to fear from the proposal. The most intriguing speech of the week will come on Wednesday, as Ben Bernanke holds court after the Open Market Committee decides their next stimulative step for the economy.
Netflix shares have been halved in price over the past two months. Now the company itself will split in two. The CEO also apologized for "miscommunicating" the recent price increase, although it appears that all the subscribers who left understood exactly what was happening. And not to be outdone, Tyco will split into three separate companies as the trend of the mega-merger is starting to feel oh-so-90's.
Japanese stocks did not trade in deference to "Respect for the Aged" Day. The rest of the major markets overseas are lower.
At this point, adjusted for fair value, the S&P futures are down 17½ points, the Dow futures are down 137, and the NASDAQ futures are about 28 points below fair value.
Netflix is likely to be the stock to watch today. In July, Netflix announced a new pricing scheme, designed to make it more expensive for customers to continue movie-by-mail rather than movie-by-streaming. So, as they say, how's that workin' for 'ya? Well, this morning, Netflix their subscriber growth estimate for BOTH mailed and streaming subscribers. Although they reaffirmed third quarter financial guidance, the stock is getting pounded pre-market by more than 15 percent.
At 8:30 we'll find out how much we're all getting pounded by price inflation – at least according to what the Government says. The CPI is expected to have risen two tenths of a percent in August, both on the core and the headline numbers
By the way, it was three years ago today the Lehman Brothers was allowed to fail by the U.S. Government, setting off a colossal financial crisis that led to all kinds of volatility in the stock market. However, if you're keeping score, the S&P 500 closed at 1192 three years ago. This morning, the futures are indicating an open of about 1189, a difference of just 3 points.
The market's collective eye is still on Europe and European stocks are about 2 percent higher this morning. Our futures look pretty good as well. At this point, adjusted for fair value, the S&P futures are higher by 6 points, the Dow futures are up 54, and the NASDAQ futures are almost 15 points above fair value.
It would be nice if our stock markets could get their collective mind off of Europe for a while. But like it or not, that's where we've taken our cue lately. In case you haven't noticed, the last couple of sessions started with pretty significant declines, only to rally into the green AFTER the European markets closed for the day.
This morning is different only in that things may be looking a little more stable across the Atlantic. The Italian parliament is expected to approve new austerity measures today, European stocks are on the rise, as are our futures.
Just in case traders get an appetite to change focus, we will get a couple of pieces of economic candy on which to chew. At 8:30 the August retail sales report is expected to reflect only a two-tenths of a percent increase. That would be a pretty big downer after July's one-half of one percent, but bad weather will likely get the blame. We'll also get the August Producer Price Index, which is expected to go negative by a tenth of percent as inflation remains remarkable absent, at least according to Government statistics.
China and India higher overnight, most of the rest of Asia fell. But Europe is higher and that's where we're headed as well, at least in the early going.
At this point, adjusted for fair value, the S&P futures are down almost 8 points, the Dow futures are up 66, and the NASDAQ futures are almost 16 points above fair value.
A very late rally yesterday pulled stock prices higher. In great part, the rally was sparked by speculation that the Chinese Government is about to deem Europe as "too big to fail." In order to raise their standing among European nations, protect the value of their euro holdings and prevent an important export market from collapsing, the thought is that the Chinese government may chow down on a big bite of Italian and Spanish sovereign debt. That, of course, would take pressure off the German government, whose electorate is getting pretty tired of the word "bailout."
Over on this side of the world, it looks like we're back to nothing more than a politicial campaign when it comes to the American Jobs Act. Last week, President Obama was very tight-lipped about how the new jobs plan would be funded, even suggesting that at least part would come from spending cuts. Yesterday, the cat came out of the bag – virtually all the cash would come from tax increases. So, here we go again – on the inevitable road to nowhere.
Most of the economic data for the week starts tomorrow. We will get a report on August Import prices at 8:30. We'll also hear earnings from the Crackerbarrel Restaurant folks. Best Buy reported 47 cent of earnings for last quarter. That was a six-cent miss on disappointing revenue. Full year guidance, however, is still within analysts' expectations. Best Buy stock is bid a bit higher premarket.
The overall market may start a little softer. At this point, adjusted for fair value, the S&P futures are down almost 5 points, the Dow futures are lower by 66, and the NASDAQ futures are about 7 points below fair value.
The focus is once again on Europe this morning, and what we're seeing is not real pretty.
The Greek Government, presumably trying to calm fears of sovereign default, now says that it has plenty of cash on hand to last into October. Problem is, today is September 12th. So, between that and a reported explosion at a French nuclear plant, European markets are pretty much a mess. French stocks, for instance, are lower by about 5 percent. Greece, by the way, proposes to add a new tax to raise revenue, as modern governments are wont to do.
It should be a pretty light-data day. However, a couple of companies are making moves this morning. Broadcom will but Netlogic Microsystems for 50 bucks per share. Netlogic closed Friday just south of 32 bucks per share.
McGraw-Hills will split into a market info company and an educational company, and no, they won't be called "McGraw" and "Hill." It will be McGraw-Hill Education and McGraw-Hill markets. Wonder if they had to hire a PR firm for that.
The futures have been moving around pretty active this morning. But, that doesn't mean that they're good, if you're long the stock market. At this point, adjusted for fair value, the S&P futures are down 20 points, the Dow futures are lower by 178, and the NASDAQ futures are almost 35 points below fair value.
Stock markets around the world and our stock futures awaited President Obama's speech last night and upon hearing it, took a turn for the worse. However, the futures aren't down as much as one might expect based on what we heard. When you rob Peter to pay Paul, you never get an argument from Paul. Last night, the President named all the "Pauls" without identifying any of the "Peters."
By the way, in spite of all this wonderful job-creating news, the Wall Street Journal is reporting that Bank of America is actually considering cutting up to 40,000 jobs. That's a little higher than the 30,000 previously rumored, and the 3,500 previously announced.
Last night Texas Instruments lowered their revenue guidance for the quarter. But, on the famous other hand, what people are not spending on technology they are apparently spending on yoga-wear. Lululemon Athletica again surprised to the upside with earnings of 26 cents. That compares to a 22 cent estimate and a 15 cent profit a year ago.
Before the opening bell rings, we'll hear from Kroger, which is expected to have earned 43 cents per share and seen a 4.8% same store sales increase. MacDonald's August same store sales were up only 3 ½ percent, versus the 4.7% estimate.
Stocks finished up slightly in Australia, but Asian markets declined. European stocks are lower across the board. At this point, adjusted for fair value, the S&P futures are down 2 points, the Dow futures are lower by about 6 points, and the NASDAQ futures are about 3 points below fair value.
September 8, 2011
Both the Bank of England and the European Central Bank held their respective short term interest rate policies steady this morning. In England, rates have been targeted at one-half of one percent for 2½ years now. The ECB, which hiked rates in July, now seems to be on perma-hold as well, and may well cut rates again before year end.
Of course, the big event of the day in this country will be the start of the new professional football season, with President Obama doing the pre-game show. So, tonight we'll get to see cheerleaders before the only teams with the apparent ability to move the ball even take the field.
A little more than ten minutes from now the weekly jobless claims number is expected to show the job market is still at 4thdown and forever, with 408,000 new claims.
Just in case your afternoon starts with a little too much excitement, tune in as Ben Bernanke speaks to the Economic Club of Minneapolis today at 1 o'clock.
Chinese stocks were lower overnight, and a lot of other overseas markets that were higher are now slipping.
Our futures looked to be on the merry-go-round this morning. But during the past hour, they appear to have bought a ticket on the roller-coaster again. At this point, adjusted for fair value, the S&P futures are down 4½ points, the Dow futures are lower by about 29 points, and the NASDAQ futures are about 5½ points below fair value.
One step back, and then one step forward. It looks like yesterday's late surge in stock prices will continue in the early going today, as the futures are suggesting that yesterday's overall loss might be recovered early on.
Also looking for recovery, or at least stability are a couple of big companies this morning. Yahoo! finally showed CEO Carol Bartz the door, which was not totally unexpected. However, big changes are afoot at Bank of America. BofA has talked about cutting 3,500 positions. Now they're reportedly talking about a number closer to 30,000. Not exactly the kind of jobs plan we were looking to hear about this week. Two of those looking for new employment will be the head of wealth management and the head of consumer and small business banking at the beleaguered Bank of America. Bank of America stock is indicated about 4 percent higher pre-market.
Australia's Gross Domestic Product topped expectations last quarter, rising 1.4% year-over-year. We'll also hear from the Bank of Canada later on. No change in Canadian interest rate policy is expected.
Nvidia raised their earnings guidance yesterday. Fairchild Semiconductor lowered theirs.
Overseas markets are higher across the board, with a good number of major markets higher by 2 percent or more. Adjusted for fair value, the S&P futures are up 11 points, the Dow futures are higher by about 93 points, and the NASDAQ futures are about 18 points above fair value.
We're looking at a short week, but it's a week that might contain a bunch of events, and many of those potential events might be not-so-nice. Before week's end, we'll have a better idea of how the French, the Germans and the Italians are going to deal with the debt crisis in Europe. We'll find out if the President has a jobs plan that contains more than name calling and class warfare. And then, of course, there's the tenth anniversary of the September 11thattacks. In short, a lot of things could go wrong, and our futures haven't missed that fact this morning.
There aren't a lot of traditional domestic economic reports scheduled this week, but just about every major central bank (except our own) will meet to discuss economic policy. This morning, the Swiss Central Bank decided to peg the maximum value of the franc to the euro.
At 10 o'clock, the August ISM index of non-manufacturing activity is expected to drop to the stall-speed level of 51 from July's 52.7.
Asian markets are mostly lower. Europe is mixed after a big drop yesterday. Our stock futures? You may want to cover your childrens' ears here – unless they're short. Adjusted for fair value, the S&P futures are down 30 points, the Dow futures are down about 252 points, and the NASDAQ futures are about 41 points below fair value.
Welcome to the First Friday of the Month. That means that the early going in the stock market is likely to be, at least somewhat, and perhaps greatly influenced by the Monthly Employment Report. In just about 8 minutes, the Labor Department is expected to announce that about 60,000 new non-farm jobs were created in August and that the Unemployment Rate held steady at 9.1%. Of course, this is the setup for President Obama's big Jobs Plan speech next Thursday. Hopefully, they'll be able to schedule the President's speech so that it doesn't conflict with something really important, like a football game. You gotta love our priorities in this country.
Anyway, they appear to have their priorities straightened out at Pier One, which raised earnings guidance for the current quarter yesterday.
Markets overseas may have noticed our pre-employment report dive yesterday, as green arrows are few and far between this morning. Some major European markets are down between 2 and 3 percent.
Our futures aren't quite that bad, but they aren't very good. Adjusted for fair value, the S&P futures are down almost 13 points, the Dow futures are down about 98, and the NASDAQ futures are about 20 points below fair value.
Well, it's September. We'll hear no shortage of stories about September's well-earned reputation as a lousy month for stock prices. Of course, the last two Septembers haven't been bad at all. In fact, last September, the S&P 500 rose almost 9 percent. So, while history is instructive, it's not necessarily predictive.
What can be predicted is that the Bickersons will all be back in Washington D.C. next week and as of yesterday, couldn't even agree on what day next week they'll start bickering again.
We'll get the August Car sales Reports as the day goes along. Expect double digit gains from the major domestic automakers, compared to last August's rather ugly numbers and an annualized rate of 12.1 million total vehicle sales. The weekly jobless claims number in about ten minutes should report about 407,000 new claims. However, watch the ISM Manufacturing Index at 10 o'clock, which could drop below 50 for the first time since July of 2009. A reading below 50 would indicate a contraction in Manufacturing activity. Expect a reading of 48½.
Costco reported an 11 percent rise in August same store sales, which was better than expected. They also announced that long-time CEO and co-founder will retire at the end of the year. Target and Macy's and BJ's Wholesale also reported better than expected sales. GAP's sales fell short.
Stock futures are off their lows of the morning, and have rallied quite a bit over just the past five minutes or so. Adjusted for fair value, the S&P futures are down about 2 points, the Dow futures are down about 4½, and the NASDAQ futures are just about even with fair value.

Leslie Donovan said she was diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis when she was 3 years old, and although she had supportive family and friends, the disease made her feel isolated as a teenager, but has helped her career as a teacher.
Donovan is 2012 Presidential Teaching Fellow, the highest award faculty can receive at the University. According to the Office of Support for Effective Teaching (OSET), the award includes a $1000 increase in base pay for two years.
As a result of the arthritis, Donovan now uses a wheelchair.
Donovan said she felt out of place growing up in the late '60s and '70s because the general public did not view people with disabilities as assets.
"People cared about them, but there weren't resources. They weren't considered really valuable parts of society," she said. "The society around me told me I wasn't OK the way I was, so that translated, for me, into being really shy."
Donovan said her shyness followed her into college, and because of it she found she was not as adept at expressing herself in front of others as some of her peers.
She said her disability has allowed her to better understand the less recognized parts of society and made her open to different people, ideas and ways of doing things.
"I also think that because I grew up as a kid with a disability at the time I grew up, that that placed me, kind of, on the borderlands of society, on the borderlands of culture," she said.
"I have a lot of respect and concern and interest in people of all types who feel like they are also on the periphery of society."
According to OSET, award recipients serve a two-year term in which they are expected to share with the rest of the University what they've learned from the successes and failures they experienced as teachers. Recipients also choose one area on which to focus and improve within the University. Their department may receive up to $3,000 to initiate a plan.
Donovan said she will focus on quiet students who are smart and have good ideas, but struggle with social interaction and public speaking.
"The project that I proposed has to do with encouraging, assisting and helping faculty, teaching assistants and lecturers to think about strategies to assist shy students in getting the skills they need to be able to share their ideas and collaborate well," she said. "So that they can achieve at advanced levels if they want to."
Donovan has been teaching since 1986. She won the Alumni Association Faculty Award in 2007, an honorary membership to the Maia Chapter of the Mortar Board in 2010, and the Honors Outstanding Teacher of the Year from the University Honors Program last year.
Donovan was recognized at the awards ceremony for the rigor, creativity and originality of her courses. Over the years, Donovan has taught a wide range of courses, from magazine-making courses to courses on Anglo-Saxonisms found in J.R.R. Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings."
One of Donovan's graduate students, Ilse Biel, said she took a course where students from the honors program help produce and edit "Scribendi," a magazine with undergraduate students' works of fine art and nonfiction. Biel said the course was unique and pragmatic.
"Where some of the other courses are concerned, like math and things like that, yeah I use that, but not really consciously," she said. "But with this particular design course, every time I have to design a flier or look at a design then I sort of hear Leslie's (voice)."
Provost Chaouki Abdallah said Donovan shows that concern for students can help them succeed.
"You need to care and you need to set high standards, you cannot lower your standards," he said. "Students don't want to just get an 'A', but you have to show them you care and this is it. She epitomizes that."

MV-22 Casualty Evacuation Demo starts Fleet Week
US Marine Corps, October 07, 2014 - US COAST GUARD AIR STATION SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. by Lance Cpl Caitlin Bevel – Combat Logistics Battalion 13, 1st Marine Logistics Group, kicked off San Francisco Fleet Week 2014 with a simulated casualty evacuation by members of the Shock Trauma Platoon along the San Francisco Bay, Oct. 6.
During Fleet Week, military personnel will work side by side with their civilian counterparts to provide relief and assistance in the event of natural disasters and other crises that threaten public safety, infrastructure and health.
"San Francisco has the San Andreas Fault Line so there's a high likelihood of an earthquake," said Capt. Chris Conklin, an MV-22 Osprey pilot with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 165, Marine Aircraft Group 16. "We're out here meeting the people that hopefully we won't have to work with, but if we do we'll be prepared for it."
The STP is specifically designed to triage casualties in the field and then provide more extensive medical care from a more stable facility after evacuation.
"What we're doing is taking the basic Shock Trauma Platoon and breaking it up to make it more portable," said Lt. Cdr. Brian Dimmer, an emergency doctor from the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit. "We put the doc on the transport to take the resuscitative care directly to the patient."
After boarding an MV-22 Osprey at Moffet Federal Airfield, Mountain View, California, the corpsmen flew to the Coast Guard air station where they stabilized an actor pretending to be injured and loaded him into the aircraft which had been set up specifically for medical evacuations.
Due to its versatility and maneuverability, the MV-22s are the best suited platform capable of supporting emergency relief and recovery requirements unique to San Francisco area in events of natural disaster. It can fly faster and farther than a helicopter and curry up to 12 patients at a time.
"It's a stripped down ER being brought to the patient," said Lt. Cdr. David Weltch, an emergency trauma nurse with Health Services Support, 1st MLG. "The Osprey is so stable you can easily start an IV on the aircraft."
The MV-22 had medical equipment for triage and immediate treatment for extreme trauma, including the new electronic-free system which allows the corpsmen to bring blood to the casualties for transfusions while they are still being evacuated.
"Typically, you anticipate a mission coming so the aircraft is already configured, and we're talking minutes to get there and start treating the patient," said Weltch.
After the casualty evacuation exercise, the corpsmen drove to San Francisco General Hospital where they set up tents in the parking lot for the STP and Forward Resuscitative Surgical Suite. This is where the casualty from the exercise would have been taken for continued treatment.
The temporary facility will be open to the public Oct. 6-7 to showcase the extensive medical capabilities the military can add to existing facilities in case of large scale disasters.

Tex-Mex queso: New York's 'it' food of 2015
NEW YORK - It's funny to think that a food Texans often take for granted (but also claim as their birthright) wound up being one of the hottest culinary trends in ravenous, discriminating Gotham.
Yet it would not be wrong to suggest that 2015 belonged to queso. Yes, the orange goo that most of us know as the everyday marriage of Ro-Tel tomatoes and Velveeta had New York in a tizzy.
The queso craze spawned a full-fledged frenzy for Tex-Mex. Suddenly, New Yorkers were discussing the fine points of puffy tacos, enchiladas with chili gravy, fajitas and Frito pie. As alien as that sounds, they actually had something worth talking about because this was the year real Tex-Mex made by real Texans finally hit the Big Apple.
It all began with a molten cheese dip served at Javelina, a Tex-Mex restaurant in the Gramercy neighborhood. Not only did Javelina serve queso (yellow and white versions), it reached right into the heart of Texas queso heritage by naming one of its dips the "Bob Armstrong." As any self-respecting Texan knows, the Bob Armstrong Dip (queso with taco meat, guacamole and sour cream) was created at Matt's El Rancho in Austin and named after former Texas Land Commissioner Bob Armstrong, who died in March, the same month Javelina opened.
Javelina didn't hang its Tex-Mex sombrero on its queso alone. It offered up Texas chili, nachos, house-made tamales, brisket tacos, San Antonio puffy tacos, parrilladas, fajitas and enchilada plates, including West Texas stacked enchiladas. But it was the queso that got New York foodies, most of whom probably don't have ready access to Ro-Tel and processed American cheese, in a lather. Or maybe it was the fact that a decent version of the Texas foodstuff could finally be found in a city that was woefully under-served by authentic Tex-Mex.
But was Javelina's chef-driven queso authentic? Well, for starters, owner Matt Post grew up in Dallas and dined at the Matt's El Rancho outpost there. His memories of the Bob Armstrong Dip are so vivid he said he knew he had to include it on the restaurant's menu. Javelina chef Richard Caruso, who grew up in Brooklyn, has a true interest in Texas grub and Mexican cuisine, having previously worked as chef de cuisine at Hill Country, perhaps the first purveyor of Texas-style barbecue in Manhattan, and at the famed Rosa Mexicano.
Post and Caruso also did their research, dining at 28 different restaurants in the Lone Star State. Their Tex-Mex queso quest included four days in Houston (El Tiempo and El Real Tex-Mex Café were among places they visited) and three days in Austin.
From the moment Javelina opened, it was slammed, quickly becoming the place for margarita throwdowns and chips/salsa/queso binges. Post credits much of the success to New Yorkers who spent time in Texas and to homesick Texans living in the city - he estimates that initially he'd serve 100 transplants a day.
Homesick brings us to the second wave of the queso boom. April saw the opening of El Original, a Hell's Kitchen Tex-Mex restaurant owned by Fort Worth native Michael Ginsberg who wanted a restaurant that celebrated the food of his childhoods. But it was James Beard Award-winning writer Lisa Fain who brought the endeavor the most media coverage: She contributed many of her wonderful recipes to El Original as a limited partner and consulting chef.
Fain, the author of "The Homesick Texan Cookbook" and "The Homesick Texan's Family Table: Lone Star Cooking From My Kitchen to Yours," knows Tex-Mex. She grew up on the outskirts of Houston and spent summers on a family farm near Dallas. She began blogging about the foods she missed after she moved to New York in 2005, re-creating the dishes of her home state and presenting those recipes via her Homesick Texan blog (homesicktexan.com); it immediately found an audience with Texans across the country.
Fain's mark on the greater understanding and appreciation of Texas and Tex-Mex fare is profound. Which is why it's disappointing that only months ago she and El Original parted ways. Fain didn't elaborate on why she wasn't working with the restaurant any longer, though she said she learned a lot in the process.
And maybe she helped New Yorkers to learn something, too. El Original stopped short of using the Bob Armstrong name, but the queso can be upgraded with ground beef, guacamole and black beans. Its basic yellow queso is silken and buttery rich, served with nice, light chips and a good red salsa. Nachos and Frito pie are Tex-Mex true; even better is the basic cheese enchilada with red gravy, plenty of cheese and chopped white onion.
Both Javelina and El Original opened as New York was ready to drench itself in Tex-Mex and Mexican-American cuisine. The city found itself drawn to places like Oxido (a fast-casual eatery from San Antonio); El Vez (a contemporary restaurant serving tacos al carbon and even a Frito pie burrito); Guero's Brooklyn (a casual joint serving tacos, nachos and chips and queso); and Mexicue (a Mexican and barbecue merger serving green chile queso, burnt-ends chili, tacos and burritos).
Neither Javelina nor El Original enjoyed positive critical reviews. But that didn't stop Tex-Mex fans and homesick Texans from bestowing Lone Star love on both restaurants. Queso affection apparently runs deep, and its sticky arms are now strong enough to reach the Big Apple. And that's how cheese dip came to be the city's great, viscous, sloppy "it" food of 2015.

Cuba Hits
It is incredible how many hits from Cuba that I get and the number seems to be increasing. I wondered why and who they were? Certainly many hits are from the Cuban government monitoring our activities against them. However Cuba is coming in second or third place now in the number of hits to my blog and that is just too many to be explained by Cuban spooks.
Castro realized that he could not keep up with the world without having computers to run his operation. So he goes and trains then equips thousands of Cubans to use computers and the Internet. Finally, the greedy moron pays them fifty cents a day with phony health care while at the same time allowing the tourism economy to make bar hops and hookers dwarf these office worker's salaries. Castro has been so kind as to provide us this lovely communication network and we should use it to our best advantage. In fact we have already put it to good use. We explained that the tourists were exploiting the Cuban population and shaking them down good would be good for their Cuban families and good for Cuba. We discussed ways to literally make tourists sick o' Cuba. The Cuban office workers took these concepts to radio bemba and the Cuban people have responded marvelously. So my fellow bloggers should craft their message more and more directly to the Cuban people. They know Cuba is a lie so they do as humans have always done - seek the truth. They are looking for a way out now that does not call for them to die in great numbers. The next phase of returning Cuba to its people should be to drive the police back to their stations at night. This can be accomplished by an ancient weapon - the rock. It is time to rock Castro's policemen's world. From out of the darkness, brought to you by the neglected Cuban office workers with computers and radio bemba! Spread the word. Rock the police.

Optimization Models and Applications
Geometric programming (GP) is an optimization model where the variables are non-negative, and the objective and constraints are sums of powers of those variables, with non-negative weights. Although GPs are not convex, we can transform them, via a change of variables, into convex problems. In its convex form, GP can be seen as a natural extension of LP.
GP arise naturally in the context of geometric design, or with models of processes that are well approximated with power laws. They also arise (via their convex representation) when trying to fit discrete probabilities models in the context of classification.

Heavy May rain and flooding delaying Kansas wheat harvest
MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — This spring's heavy rain and flooding has sharply delayed Kansas' wheat harvest, which is usually in full swing by mid-June.
The wheat harvest generally starts between early and mid-June and wraps up by mid-July. But the Kansas Wheat Commission says only 1% of the state's wheat crop had been harvested as of Sunday. Typically, about 12% of the crop is harvested by that point, and last year 20% had been harvested by mid-June, The Wichita Eagle reported .
The state received 10.26 inches of rain in May, which was more than double the 30-year average of 4.12 inches. It was the wettest May ever recorded in Kansas.
Also, the U.S. Department of Agriculture says only 21 percent of Kansas' wheat crop is mature, compared with almost 60 percent at this time last year.
The wet fields make it difficult and unwise to harvest, said Jeff Seiler, agriculture and natural resources extension agent for Sedgwick County. He said taking heavy machinery into wet fields could hurt future harvests.
Soybean farmers in Kansas harvested last year's crop in damp fields, which caused deeper ruts in the soil and could affect the growth of this year's crop, he said.
Marsha Boswell, a spokeswoman for the Wheat Commission, said it is too early to tabulate the potential yield and quality of this year's crop.
Scott Van Allen, a wheat farmer near Clearwater, said he would be finished harvesting his crop in a typical year but he hadn't even started as of this week. He said he's hoping for several consecutive days of windy, warm weather to dry up the fields.
"A day or two of dry weather doesn't help us much," Van Allen said. "That still leaves a lot of harvest left to finish."

The Haitian Times, an authority on Haiti news in the Diaspora, picked up our press release on the latest development in the cholera case against the United Nations. On January 9th, 2015, a US judge dismissed the lawsuit, declaring the UN absolutely immune from suit. This leaves the victims of the epidemic with nowhere to turn to seek justice, as they have exhausted other methods of seeking a remedy. We will bring the suit to the appeals court and continue seeking justice for Haiti's cholera victims.

Judge Deems UN Immune from Lawsuit for Haiti Cholera Disaster
The Haitian Times
January 11, 2015
On the eve of the fifth anniversary of the devastating earthquake that hit Haiti in 2010, a U.S. judge dismissed a lawsuit against the United Nations (UN) for its catastrophic introduction of cholera to Haiti, deeming the UN absolutely immune from suit.
"For the 8,700 Haitians who have died and the 720,000 that have suffered from cholera, this decision implies that there is nowhere in the world they can turn to seek justice," said Mario Joseph of the Bureau des Avocats Internationaux in Haiti, a human rights lawyer for cholera victims. "That is irreconcilable with their human rights and basic notions of justice."
The class action lawsuit, Georges et al. v. United Nations et al., was filed in the Southern District of New York in October 2013 after the UN rebuffed extensive efforts to seek justice through the UN's settlement process. The UN rejected claims filed by 5,000 victims of cholera in November 2011 as "not receivable" without providing legal justification. That position has been widely criticized as unjustifiable in view of the UN's legal and moral obligations.

An upbeat and cheerful person can increase one's optimism by 11 percent. However, a negative person doubles the likelihood that others will become unhappy, according to one study. The same may be said for one's business. While every job may require working with a variety of personalities, entrepreneurs in Georgia may need to be especially careful about the people who are invited into their businesses.
Some people may distract a new business owner from his or her purpose. This may be done by trying to convince an entrepreneur to overlook the reputation of the company or its product and focus on an inflated, insincere image. A person with a dynamic yet unfocused personality may also distract a business person with ideas for greater gain that may be impractical or unethical. Employees who are centered on their own drama or perceived misfortune will steal attention for themselves that should be going to growing the business.
Negativity comes in many forms in the workplace. The most obvious is the hater. People who insist on building their own reputations by tearing other people down may cause tension in a new company. Similarly, someone who takes pleasure in reminding people of their mistakes may stagnate an entrepreneur's drive for success. Failure in one business venture often leads to even greater successes, but some people may attempt to discourage a person with reminders of those failures.
One person entrepreneurs may benefit from having on their team is an experienced business law attorney. Finding an attorney in Georgia who will provide outside general counsel means a new business owner will have access to legal advice as needed, instead of keeping legal counsel on retainer. Having access to valuable professional advice may ensure one's business stays on the path to success.

After adding a layer mask to hide portions of a layer, it can sometimes be difficult to determine if there are any small bits of the layer that have been accidentally left behind. In this case, it might be helpful to temporarily add a layer effect such as a bright red stroke ( Layer > Layer Style > Stroke, and click the color swatch to choose a vibrant color) . The stroke will now appear around any small areas of the mask that you may need to clean up. When finished, simply delete the layer effect).
If at some point you have the time I'd love to see a short video demonstrating this technique.
that is a really helpful tip. Thanks Julieanne
Yes, that's right! Thank you for help!

We took a consultative approach to supporting the Premier team.
From developing clear online customer profiles to guiding their digital media choices, to advice on optimising their website.
Our aim throughout was to present the business to the right people at the right time through the right channels.
"We recognised that many potential customers were searching for solutions online first before ever setting foot in a showroom and that it was important to be present during that early phase in their journey of discovery. Route guided us through our first ever digital campaign, delivering value for money and a return on investment we were able to directly attribute to sales and enquiries. This was about being smart with our spend and Darren and the team helped us every step of the way."

Pride and confidence in oneself; a feeling that one is behaving with honor and dignity, this is what webster say's is the definition of self-respect.
I think it goes way deeper than just pride and confidence. Self-respect is also talking to ourselves in kind compassionate ways, setting boundaries for ourselves with others, and honoring our own word with ourselves.
How do we do all of this, and live our busy lives?
It's simple. We manage our mind each and every day. This is the magic pill!
I have learned for me it is important I start each day with a morning ritual. Yes, I have to wake up a little earlier to get it all done. Am I a morning person? NO. Is it worth it? YES! It is how I show myself I respect myself. That I am worthy. My morning routine sets me up for an amazing day.
So what is it?
RPM. Rise. Pee. Mediate. Followed by thought work. A list of what I am choosing to believe for the day, and list of everything I am appreciative to have. Of course then I follow it up with a cup of Joe.
Managing my own mind enables me to make sure I am thinking kind thoughts about myself, and if not explore why. I am able to put all my thoughts down on paper in front of me, and determine what I need to address, and if I need to address any boundary issues with others. By committing to this everyday, I am honoring my own word. I know when I do this routine, I am more balanced, more grounded, and definitely calmer. So I know it is important for my own well being, and for me to be able to hold space for others, day in and day out.
Do your respect yourself? If not ask yourself why.
Start with one simple habit each day. Create a ritual for yourself where you honor your own word. Start to observe your own negative thinking. When you catch yourself speaking unkind words to yourself, take a deep breath, and replace them with kind words.
Self-respect is important! When we respect ourselves we have the ability to respect others. Everything starts with the self!

The Galeras volcano in Nariño is considered one of the most active in Colombia. Since June of 2004, Galeras has registered four small eruptions (the last being 12 June 2006). In the proximity of the volcano, there are seven villages – including Pasto, Nariño, and la Florida – which must be preventively evacuated every time the volcano shows signs of an imminent eruption.
Due to Galeras' continued activity, in November 2005 the Colombian government decreed the region around the volcano a disaster area. National and local authorities took preventive measures to move affected families to temporary lodging for fear of a large scale eruption. As a result of the prolonged activity without a massive eruption (already more than two and a half years), authorities are having difficulty keeping local populations alert to the danger. According to tradition, Galeras is a "spiritual friend"–incapable of causing harm to the populations in its vicinity. This type of folklore is widely believed among the local population; thus, the continued warnings of government authorities are increasingly falling on deaf ears.
The population surrounding the Galeras volcano seems to be "confused" by the government's frequent calls for evacuation. Many citizens do not believe a prolonged evacuation is necessary. The local economic crisis may play a large role in the population's ambivalence, as the citizens do not feel the compensation they receive from the government to evacuate is sufficient. Many refuse to abandon their farms and livestock for the uncertainty of the temporary lodging.
The population's hesitancy to evacuate has led to a sort of half-compliance with the authorities' requests to evacuate. Many families sleep in the temporary lodging and return to their farms during the day to work. The current situation leaves the government in a predicament. If Galeras were to erupt during daytime hours while the villagers are working near the volcano, all of the economic, technical, and logistic measures would have been for nothing – as the very lives the government wanted to protect would be lost.

PINELLAS PARK — In the early 1970s, a young Bob Yoho used to make $30 a night selling Coca-Colas to spectators at the Sunshine Speedway.
In the late 1980s, Yoho started racing at the speedway, where he earned the nickname "Showtime."
In 2012, Yoho, 51, will be the man to bring the speedway back to life. The Pinellas Park native is the winning bidder to rent the property from the state for at least the next five years.
The part-owner (along with his wife, Danielle) of Yoho's Collision Center in Pinellas Park, Yoho will pay $15,853 per month to lease the 125-acre speedway site. The Florida Department of Transportation bought the property on Ulmerton Road, east of Largo, for $20 million in 2004 with plans to build a road over it connecting the Bayside Bridge to Interstate 275.
Funding for the road hasn't come through, though, and the quarter-mile track has been used the last few years to test toll-taking technology. The state decided to put the property up for rent last year at the suggestion of state Sen. Jack Latvala, R-Clearwater.
Yoho found out last week that his bid bested eight others. He's meeting with Pinellas Park officials today to go over "do's and don'ts," he said, and hopes to have cars racing around the figure-8 track by mid May.
There's a lot of work to be done before then, though. The property needs new grandstands and concession stands, and Yoho has already started reaching out to contractors. He expects some help from his brother, Randy Yoho, the owner of Dade City Motocross.
On Wednesday, Bob Yoho reflected on his long relationship with the track, which opened the year he was born — 1960.
After a night spent selling Cokes, Yoho would always bike over to the Sunshine bowling alley, he said, to pump quarters into the pinball machine until he was broke. Then he'd do the whole thing over again the next night.
Yoho is not banking on reaping a profit from the speedway. He just wants to see Pinellas Park kids entertained, he says, both as spectators and drivers. He plans to open the speedway for practice runs every Thursday, with racing every Saturday night, and the possibility of go-kart racing on Sundays.
"I didn't bid on it to try to change it," he said. "If we get a great five years out of this, and I break even, or lose a couple dollars, it will still be a success, and I'll make a lot of families happy, a lot of children happy."
The Sunshine Dragstrip, the 1/8-mile track adjacent to the speedway, will continue to hold races every weekend, although Yoho said he'll switch the dragstrip's races from Saturdays to Fridays. He hasn't figured out yet if he will manage the dragstrip, or if current management will sublease it from him and continue to run it.
Yoho still races, but said "Showtime" won't race the speedway, because it wouldn't be fair for the owner of the track to participate. When asked how he got that nickname, Yoho laughed.
"Because of the way I race," he said. "I might not win, but you'll know I was there."

As with all series, The Lion Guard has gone through several changes during production. This article lists all known early concepts.
Contents: Early Logo • Early Mark of the Guard • Call of the Guard V4 • Kion's Lament Reprise Concept • Tonight we Strike V1 • Tonight we Strike V2 • Ending V2 • Zuka Zama Concept Demo • Late Cuts • General Concept Art • Early Return of the Roar Storyboard
Early Logos
An early logo used the original Mark of the Guard symbol as a background.
An even earlier logo faded the 'The' from the logo as well as part of the line.
Early Mark of the Guard
Seen in a handful of early book concepts, the original Mark of the Guard was a simple lion paw print. Only two are known - Kion's and Beshte's. They were found on old covers of Bunga's Big Adventure and Kion's Animal Alphabet respectively.
Call of the Guard V4
Dated 20th April 2015, this early version of the Main Title sequence shows a handful of changes, although by this stage the majority of it is much the same as the final. One difference is the different lyrics from the final version.
|Kion appears to walk across Pride Rock instead of run across it.
|Beshte's old ear notch has mostly been changed, same for this frame.
|After Kion's painting, Kion walks proudly to the tip of Pride Rock with his parents looking towards him and with Mufasa looking down on him as opposed to him glancing over his shoulder in the final.
|The scenery is slightly different.
|Timon and Pumbaa are absent from Hakuna Matata Falls.
|Fuli is entirely covered by Bunga in this early version. She was moved so that the audience could see her.
|The animals are more spread out in the final, and the buffalo, ostrich, and hedgehog are missing entirely. The mongoose is standing on a rock in the early version next to a hedgehog, but in the final he's standing next to the giraffes.
|After the hyenas have been knocked away, the camera pans back down to earth to show Kion in a pouncing state. In the final, he immediately lands on Pride Rock.
|This happens shortly after in the early revision when Kion pounces and lands in the same place he does in the final.
The early concept version ends the same way as the final but reveals the earlier logo seen at the top of the article.

Kion's Lament Reprise Concept
An early shipping animatic, dated 21st January 2015 exists, complete with an early/demo singer. It is almost identical to the final version, save for one notable difference.
|In the final, Kion walks straight past the water. In the early animatic, he glances down at it.

Tonight we Strike V1
There are two early versions of "Tonight We Strike". The earliest does not possess a date but features a lot of differences compared to the final.
|Janja walks straight down his lair, glancing over at his fellow hyenas before coming to the end of a ledge with his clan members at either side of him. He then sticks his neck out to say 'fools' and leaps down. In the final, he looks towards the hyenas before the camera focuses in on his eye.
|After Janja stamps on Pride Rock, the camera looks up to him and he glares down menacingly before moving across.
|After Mzingo has flown into the screen, some red gazelles start to appear, and the hyenas shortly appear from the back of the screen racing towards the viewer.
|In place of the scene where Janja gets his bottom bitten, some animals in red start to run away. Soon, Cheezi and Chungu appear from the side.
|Mostly similar, but the concept shows a lion cub in the center, who is missing from the final.
|Instead of showing Janja and his crew walking straight ahead, the concept has the camera look down on them.
|Soon after this, Janja bites the camera. In the final, it focuses in on his eye again.
|Instead of the hyenas jumping, the concept art shows some Wildebeests jumping at first.
|Soon after, we see a gazelle running across some grass.
|After this, we see Cheezi chasing it without actually moving his legs...
|...Only for it to be revealed that he's taking a ride on Chungu.
|Janja is flipped.
|The animal is a zebra in the early version as opposed to a gazelle in the final.
|Kion is on a rock in the final, but not in the concept.
|Kion's cameo in this song never moves in the final. In this version, his eyes open in surprise when Janja looms over him. Also, Janja moves a lot closer towards him when he exclaims 'teeth'.
|Janja emerges from Mzingo's tree instead of the camera rushing elsewhere.
|Janja speaks 'Tonight we Strike, nobody's safe' alone, with no sign of Cheezi.
|When he laughs, some red vultures fly on overhead in the early version, whereas in the final he starts to leap up to the top of the volcanic formation.
|Hyenas start marching, much like in 'Be Prepared' from the original The Lion King movie.
|They glance towards the camera a bit later.
|As Janja calls 'The Circle of Life's gonna feel our bite', he emerges from a rock formation surrounded by other hyenas on the ground whereas in the final he is shown alone at the top of his formation.
|On his final line, the camera focuses in on him as opposed to focusing out on him like in the final.
|Instead of a volcanic eruption transitioning to the next scene, Janja leaps down at the camera and behind the other hyenas.

Tonight we Strike V2
Another early version, dated 9th February 2015 features most of the finalized song. There are still some differences, particularly towards the end. Although the song is labelled 'Final', there is a rather drastic difference shown at the end.
|In the final, the camera focuses in on Janja's eye when he says 'fools'. But in this version, it doesn't. Instead, he leaps into the camera to change the scene.
|Like the other early version, a zebra is used instead of a gazelle here.
|Kion's cameo in this song never moves in the final. In this version, his eyes open in surprise when Janja looms over him. Again, there is a lack of rock for Kion to sleep on.
|Janja enters from under Mzingo's tree in this version. In the final, the camera pans away from the tree to show Janja nearby, much like the other early version.
|In the final, Janja leaps up a volcanic formation and it explodes at the end. In this version, Janja leaps onto a large formation of hyenas and sways to and fro before finally leaping down to the ground, breaking the hyenas up.

Ending V2
Dated 8th June 2015, this ending is almost the same, save for some of the credits scene which is slower in some parts compared to the final. Characters in the concept are also more expressive.
|This scene of the Guard walking towards the camera was taken out in favor of a scene involving them standing on a rock looking proud of themselves, before focusing in on Kion's face. This scene also lasts longer in the early release, so that the credits don't match up with the final version despite using the same scenes.
|The hyena blinks in the early version, but is static in the final.
|Mostly the same, but Ono tilts his head twice in the early concept as opposed to once in the final. Beshte also changes direction.
In addition to all of this, an additional scene cut from the final product entirely can be seen. It shows Bunga walking ahead of the Lion Guard chanting 'Look out here comes the Lion Guard' with various other expressions tagged on at the end. He then turns around to face the Guard, and we receive a close up of Ono telling him to look out. The camera cuts back to Bunga who cries 'That's right!' before continuing his chanting and moving his head to the sides. Back to Ono, who cries with urgency 'No really, look out!' whilst spreading his wings. The camera moves back to Bunga's feet where he trips up a termite mound. The Guard move in to check on him. The camera moves back to Bunga who has his head completely immersed in the mound. Fuli plucks him up and dumps him the right way up. With the camera focused on the Lion Guard and Bunga's back to the audience, the Guard exclaim 'Ew' before the camera turns back to Bunga, whose face is covered in termites. He happily exclaims 'Termites? Yum!' before picking one off and eating it. The camera returns to the Guard one last time to show their faces of disgust, with Kion uttering 'Bunga...' in a disappointed tone.

Zuka Zama Concept Demo
See: Zuka Zama (pilot concept)
Late Cuts
A few concepts were actually animated, but never used. Instead, Disney has placed the finished version of these short scenes in commercials for the show.
Early Ending
Also reused was this scene of the Guard walking forward. This was originally going to be used at the end of The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar, but was replaced with the crew looking proudly over a rock before focusing in on Kion's face.
Extra Ending
A small part of the extra ending can be seen in The Lion Guard Alphabet.
Kion, Simba, Nala & Mufasa
Seen in a couple of trailers, this scene actually appears briefly from an earlier version of Call of the Guard.
General Concept Art
The following concept art has been obtained from various behind the scenes videos.
Early Return of the Roar Storyboard
In an early storyboard, Bunga was much younger and frequently used his own name in to explain his actions (ie. Bunga get fruit). This storyboard also showed Kion's old Mark of the Guard, and showed that Nne was originally the third member of Janja's main crew instead of Cheezi.
The Morning Report deleted scene
In the episode The Morning Report, there was a deleted scene in which the Lion Guard ask Thurston about Zazu, which only confuses the unintelligent zebra.

Movie Review - the God Father Don Vito Compared with Micheal Calreone
Autor: antoni • March 17, 2011 • Essay • 533 Words (3 Pages) • 2,022 Views
Muhammad Bilawal
26th Oct2010
Compare and contrast
The Godfather
The movie "Godfather" was based on two main characters, Don Vito Corleone and his son Michael Corleone who live a very classical Italian/American mafia life. Their characters have powerful symbolism on power, fearless personality and respect; however between the two characters there are only few major differences and have a lot in more common as they say "like father, like son." However, the differences are poignant in the father and son's characters in the series, from one having a whole setup in control and the other losing everything due to anger and rage.
Don Vito Corleone's character is based on the head of a mafia family who made their name from rags to riches by dealing with drugs, gambling, murders/hit money and as funny as it sounds classic Italian restaurants. He symbolizes power and strength and class of his own. The power he depicted in the movie was huge, he had control over the government system i.e. police, trade and city territories. His power made him strong and he was respected greatly among the others which is shown as the main characteristic in the movie. Despite his strict attributes, Don Vito has a small soft spot which is very unlikely from such a man, he would donate celebrate events and help the people in need. In the beginning; his character is a hard worker who lost his job due to his race hence to bring food on the he took "an offer he couldn't refuse," Don Vito Corleone, Godfather I. His character changes after a murder of a community leader or Don. The first kill changed his aspect on how people live, that to survive you need to be superior and greater than the rest. Keeping that motive in mind, it wasn't long before he started living the "American dream,"
