Initial reports of sellouts for Nokia's (NOK) Windows Phone 8 Lumia hardware are "misleading," thinks Deutsche's Kai Korschelt, since they have much to do with supply issues. "Anecdotal evidence suggests that many stores have only received 5-20 devices/store with wider carrier distribution delayed in some countries," Korschelt writes, while speculating 28nm chip shortages are to blame. He also claims U.K. retail survey and Google search interest data for the Lumia line is underwhelming. (Raymond James)

Indeed. No conflicts of interest there at all either.
Wait, wasn't there something relatively recently about a housing bubble & massive market crash, huge investments in bankrupt sovereign bonds among others? Oh and a truly mind bendingly large amount of our money to bail them all out?
Personally I like Goldman analysts. You can almost feel the greed like a physical presence in what they write. It's only a problem when two or more gang up and issue conflicting assessments. Best to step away at that point. -
Who is misleading? Deutsche bank is rediculous and misleading!
Check this
7000 lumia 920 sold out in 7 hours in Hong Kong, with a polulation of 7 millions only! -
When big investment banks recommendate to sell, they are only interested buying big themselves and visa versa.
5 December Nokia launches Lumia 920 on China Mobile. :)
PS. It is sad those misleading recommendation get adopted by the press so easily. -
Goldman reminds me of the old S.G. Warburg in London they always seemed to have their analysts recommend or pan stocks that suited their trading positions.
Look at Goldman's recent downgrade of CLF, it seems they are very late to the sell recommendation, but are attempting to drive the stock down another 10% to establish a very attractive entry point for themselves if they get any institutions to dump stock. -
I like long NOK because I believe they will have all divisions in the black soon. There is significant Lumia buzz at the AT&T stores I have been to, which is an uplifting sign. And big box stores are currently pushing windows phones side by side with android.
It is anybody's guess, but there is opportunity for NOK and MSFT to keep the momentum via solid marketing efforts. -
So this is the same Deutsche Bank that told investors that NOK is going bankrupt, while buying large quantities of shares last quarter?
Or like how Goldman Sachs was telling the public that NOK will be worthless, while increasing their holdings in Q3 from 61M shares to 116M?
If you believe the investment houses are putting out this info to help the investing public, then you've learned nothing from 2007. -
Dantes: precisely. "The investment" houses are there to serve themselves by any means legal or illegal. And if illegal, well, a tiny portion of their ill-gotten gains will pay the fines if they are caught and if prosecuted... By that time, the additional gains they will have made using their dirty money will diminish even more the importance of the fines. Wonderful, isn`t it? One day, the people will rise and crush them.
You started so well but "One day, the people will rise and crush them." ? Sorry, I'm with Huxley on that one. 400 years of the Bank of England and the people don't even know their chains exist.
Notice the bars and the chains. -
Its one of the reason why so many SA members says to do your own research / DD. Small or big institutions are quite the same, unfortunately the big ones can move the market. Nokia had caused such a disruption that it has become a headline stock and product. I believe I have found my Alpha! To Q4.
Everyone can check to see if one of his claims, that Google search data is underwhelming or the same as last year is correct, by going to Google themselves.
Google Trends for "Lumia":
Notice the huge spike in interest after the announcement of Nokia's Lumia 920.
So the analyst is full of crap, just sayin. -
All I know is that I bought the Nokia Lumia 900 in April, 2012 and love the phone. I've had no problems, in fact I'm waiting for it to freeze or something. But it keeps ticking. And I've gone back to the store to look at the iphone 5, what a rip off. No wonder their logo is getting bigger on the back of the phone. Android is ok. But we all know Nokia is here to stay. The race is just begun.
I'm writing this from my new Lumia 820, this is a great phone. The incoming email woke me from my nap :).
Standard USB port, you can add a micro SD card, battery life is hunky dory so far, goes all day and night. No complaints at all. I like this phone very much. I think I,LL keep my 1000 NOK! -
And the wonderful thing is?
Even if the L920 is a complete, utter failure, Nokia would still hold relative value for someone who willing to look at the bigger picture.
Navteq alone is worth multiple billions - besides Google and Garmin, there is simply no other company with as complete and high-quality data as Navteq. AAPL bought data from TomTom and, well, it was quite frankly a joke. -
"besides Google and Garmin, there is simply no other company with as complete and high-quality data as Navteq."
Doh... Garmin uses NavTeq. :-P
It's interesting to see TomTom losing the majority of its customers after they changed from NavTeq to some other crap. (TeleAtlas)
And why has Apple joined forces with TomTom instead of any other company? Simple: TomTom maps might be the weakest of them all... but they are also the cheapest and we all know Apple goes to extremes to use the cheapest materials in their fabulous contraptions. Right?
The cheapest, the better... it's Apple's new motto. -
Bottom line is most of the posters on SA know as much as the so called analysts. Until NOK announces actual 4th quarter sales all we are going to hear is speculation, channel checks, etc. I let my chocolate lab say hi to my daughter on my 920 via Skype and he gave it four tail wags out of five. He prefers the bigger screen to the Iphone 5. I value his opinion more than Goldman Sachs. He has never cheated or lied and totally trustworthy.
How is this Google Search trend underwhelming? If compared "Lumia 920" and "Lumia 900" search levels, the trend shows Lumia 920 clearly wins the battle (relative search amount 100 vs 40). Also, the search trend is showing straight up, which indicates increasing interest towards the device
Interesting to note, that when you replace "Lumia 900" with "Galaxy S", the difference is ONLY as big as between Lumia 920 and Lumia 900, (40 vs 100).
When you replace "Galaxy S" with "HTC 8X", Lumia 920 is clear winner here, (100 vs 20)
The biggest winner is of course iPhone 5 (100 vs 5). However, the difference in Nokia vs Apple brand comparison is not big at all (65 vs 75). Also, Apple brand is showing down and Nokia is showing up
Deutche Bank has not probably understood that even if the numbers in stores were low, the demand is high. E.g. Swedish retailer explaines that the backlog is twice the amount of SGS3
In Finland the carriers have told that the demand towards Lumia 920 is is bigger compared to 1st generation Lumias.
http://bit.ly/Sxs49D -
You've got an interesting research mechanism there. The correlation to shipped units might be a good thing to check when the numbers come out.
I'm also interested in comparing with Twitter trends, anyone know of a site or url which can display that kind of stuff? The top google responses don't seem to provide that kind of info. -
LUMIA 920, best phone out there! Truly a state of the art device
Sold out everywhere!
Its camera (PUREVIEW), city lens, maps, super sensitive screen, resolution, its image stabilization, low light performance, wireless charging, etc makes it just fabulous!
Thanks Nokia! Great JOB
If there were a serious shortage of Lumia phones... you'd think they would be tough to find, particularly at a big discount.
Kind of skewers the idea that they are flying off the shelves so fact Nokia can't keep up. -
@ericmeister – I'm not sure there is much study that needs to be done.
Things that are in *high demand* don't get discounted, it's basic economics, companies want to maximize profits. If I'm going to sell 200 phones and I have the choice of selling them at $99 or selling them at $69, I'm going to sell them at $99. Some individual sellers might discount the product regardless of demand, but those sellers would quickly run out of stock and the market as a whole wouldn't support the discounted price. The fact that multiple vendors are discounting the phone is an even bigger indication that demand is not "excellent".
The $99 subsidized price is what Nokia and AT&T announced when they released the phone and was widely circulated http://bit.ly/Va04aV
It's possible there is great demand in Europe, but not here, if so I'm certain Nokia will shift more phones to Europe than the states. Either way, discounting is pretty clear the demand isn't high in the states. -
Hi Dennis, Its hard to bite my tongue while drinking my morning coffee. I did not want to add fuel to the fire, but your statement about what basic economics holds no credence whatsoever. Here is my take on basic economics 101.
1. When we make a decision we implicitly compare the costs and benefits of our choice on a business or a product.
2. Basic economics assumes that people act rationally and try to act so as to gain the most benefit for themselves when comparing cost.
3. The public responds to changes in price. So the public are more likely to buy something if it is cheaper. If a product becomes more costly, then there is an incentive to switch to other choices.
This is what I learned from my economics classes 14yrs ago. I'm sure little has changed and these key points are still applied in present business models. I have learned much from your comment and now aware where you stand.
All the best,
Turtle -
You are talking about demand and the choices a consumer makes when selecting a product. I am talking about demand and the choices a retailer or manufacturer makes to maximize profits.
*Examples of strong demand*
There is a wait list of 8-9 weeks for the Nexus 4, prices on secondary markets (eBay/ Amazon) are higher than the base price of the product.
*An example of dwindling demand affecting pricing*
The Samsung G3, it follows a classic product life-cycle, when it was introduced, pricing power was strong and it sold for the full $200 retail. Now six months out, demand is much weaker and they are discounting it to sell product.
An analyst explains the effect on iPad mini pricing over Black Friday: http://bit.ly/11p4srX -
Just perhaps Nokia wants to make absolutely sure it becomes a player in the US market. Something it's mostly failed to do for the last decade... Which left the door wide open for RIMM, Apple and Google. It also explains the US CEO as well.
920s are selling for €650 ($830) in Europe.
( e.g. http://bit.ly/WywbBX)
You may want to think about stocking up on something which is clearly heavily subsidised for the US markets, you're getting a massive bargain that the rest of the world isn't. -
Hi Dennis,
My statement was meant solely for my investment in NOK and how they are penetrating the U.S. market.
Most innovative product - Captivate
Exclusive partnership w/ AT&T 2nd largest carrier
Discounted/Subsidized the price to penetrate market
Control supply / increase demand
Marketing / Advertising for enticement
Social Disruption
css1971 comment is spot on which applies to your " demand and the choices a retailer or manufacturer makes to maximize profits." Not only Europe --> China (southeast asia/asia continent) Middle East - Africa etcetera - etcetera. U.S. is just the icing on the cake and its looking very sweet for me as a shareholder/lumia 920 user. -
@ Dennis Baker
$ 689,- for a black Lumia 920
Not exaclty a discount. -
Have you ever heard of campaigns in the basic economics? How about price wars?
If e.g. ALL SGS3 have discount from $150 to $0.01 during the weekend, would you keep your phone at $99? If your competitor sells the phone $20 cheaper, would you still keep it at $99? Which one sells more the same device, BestBuy at $150 or Walmart at $69?
If so, I'm glad youre not the one selling these devices. -
Having a price war on product where demand is higher than supply is short lived . You lower the price and are the first one to run out of product. Your competitors sells just as much product at full price. You both wind up with empty shelves waiting for the next shipment.
The S3 is a bad example, it's getting towards the end of it's product life-cycle. Samsung is already pushing rumors of the next big thing. Did you see a lot of price wars on the S3 from day 1?
How much discounting was there on the Kinect during the first 3 months after it was released? The Nintendo Wii? The iPhone 5? The iPad mini?
Products that are slammed with demand rarely get discounted, and when they do get discounted people buy them up and resell them. Look at the Nexus 4, they are being scooped up and resold at a premium. You can't buy the N4 at Google's price without an 8 week wait. -
I just want to repeat my original point because it seems lost in this weirdness.
I'm not suggesting the 920 is doing poorly. Its entirely possible that demand is solid and Nokia is just doing a great job filling their channels. If that's the case, that's great news for Nokia.
My comment was pointed at the claim that there is massive demand and shortages on the 920. At least here in the states, that's clearly not the case. -
"You lower the price and are the first one to run out of product. "
And if you remember at all what happened, everyone were complaining the demand which exceeded expectations. The ones with the low price were the first ones.
"Samsung is already pushing rumors of the next big thing."
Which does not affect to anything on today's pricing.
"The S3 is a bad example... Did you see a lot of price wars on the S3 from day 1"
Youre right. It is a bad example. You can not exactly compare 2 devices when the other one has huge market share already in the beginning. And while the device with huge market share is still a best seller, there is no reason to reflect a Lumia price to that one. Right? -
@DB In the large cities in SE China where McDonald's restaurants have long had a major presence and customers fill every spot to eat and circle the large restaurants with their trays looking for a spot to light, they have discounted combos on the menu over a three hour period lunch period by about 30%, and they followed this up after a few months with the same program for three hours during the evening dinner rush. Their stores are SRO, and every delivery boy is running. And as anyone who has ever bought anything on sale can tell you, It is just not the case that "things that are in 'high demand' don't get discounted."
MARKET TALK: Jyske Bank Lifts Nokia Target Price
5:04a ET November 29, 2012 (Dow Jones) MARKET TALK: Jyske Bank Lifts Nokia Target Price
1004 GMT [Dow Jones] Jyske Bank lifts its Nokia (NOK) target price to EUR2.90 from EUR2.40, citing increased optimism that the company will meet sales expectations for Lumia smartphones. Notes media reports that the Lumia 920 is sold out in Germany, as well as reports about a successful reception of the flagship device in the US. Moreover, Jyske's sales check indicates strong sales and advance orders in France, Spain and the UK. Maintains a buy rating. Shares trade 2.1% higher at EUR2.598 -
Idiotic conclusion by Korschelt for idiotic reasons. Just do the math. An average of say 12 units per store times how many stores? Times how many online entities? Very few who graduated from college with a degree that would lead to them being hired for this type of job could be incompetent enough to produce such an analysis.The only conclusion to be drawn is that his institution has a motive to depress the stock price.
I think there is too much talk about the smartphone side of the NOK´s overall business.
Let´s remember that it is only a small portion of the hole company.
4G is here already and crowing fast.
Compared to RIMM, NOK is in my view in a way better position.
Disclosure : Long NOK, if the stock gone fall I am just keeping adding more worked so far. -
"Compared to RIMM, NOK is in my view in a way better position."
Yep, I feel like NOK is way undervalued... and RIMM is still quite overvalued. RIMM is almost extinct and I don't see BB 10 changing anything. Why does the market give RIMM a higher valuation than NOK? Makes no sense to me. -
here is lastest NOKIA 920 google trend
i hate to say it buy Dennis maybe right, Why would amazon discount with such high demand-- however no one buys anything off Amazon untils it a deal, isnt that there niche to make things cheaper? undercut everyone else??? please your thoughts -
My guess is that they becausse none of them have ready inventory and need to compete with Walmart and other competitors to book revenue by locking in new contract customers. So even tho there are high demand, if they can lock in these contract, send the order into AT&T (and the customers can wait for however long to get their phones due to shortages), they can recognize their referral fees. It's a game of chicken.
Further, if the price is the same as AT&T, why should people buy from Amazon or Walmart when they can buy from AT&T. Especially if the wait time to get the phone is the same? They can probably charge the same price if the wait time is shorter, which I do not think is the case (can be wrong on this). Further, if Amazon holds out and not give discount, and Walmart decides to give the $30 discounts, Amazon would lose the sales to Walmart. The reason why AAPL is able to keep the iPhone undiscounted is by controlling the distribution of the subsidized contracts. You can only get the iPhone with contract price from AAPL store or ATT/Verizon etc...(believe this is still the case).
In short, the current available stock of Lumia phones may be short versus current demand (hence the required wait). But when compared to what they can produce in the future, obviously you can have infinite supply. And this is the case here. You are locking in current demand and meet them with future supply. Those who must have the phone now can go on craiglists or eBay and last I check they are only available off contract and more expensive than price charge by AT&T (which is $450). -
"The reason why AAPL is able to keep the iPhone undiscounted is by controlling the distribution of the subsidized contracts. You can only get the iPhone with contract price from AAPL store or ATT/Verizon etc...(believe this is still the case)"
This is simply not true. Third party retailers such as Best Buy offer the exact same phones and pricing as AT&T stores. We bought an iphone 5 (subsidized by AT&T) at Best Buy and the experience was actually much better than AT&T with no problems. Would have bought my Lumia 920 at Best Buy but they did not yet have them in stock. -
Not that it matters much at a total scale of sales.... but, as a rather neutral country preorders of the Lumia 920 in the Netherlands are equal or even exceeding those of the iPhone 5.
(for those who speak Dutch ;) )
http://bit.ly/TqL9cr -
The strategy of discounting phones is similar to what RIMM did (and does) where it heavily discounts the phones to get it into as many hands as possible, the only driver for NOK right now is units sold as that is the key metric that matters to investors over margins etc.
In Canada RIM phones werem ostly discounted to $0 -$99 when RIM phones were still popular -
To understand today's analyst Kai Korschelt at Deutsche Bank comment, you need to look at a 3 month chart of Nokia's (NOK) stock price. Korschelt/Deutsche Bank *downgraded* Nokia to a "Sell" exactly at the September 6 low. In other words, Korschelt/Deutsche Bank "made the bottom" in the stock. No wonder they are trying to push the stock down: They look like fools.
All the analysts and ratings houses are there to serve themselves. Look at this instablog titled "Are Standard & Poor's Opinions misleading and is Goldman Sachs ripping us off?"
http://seekingalpha.co... -
Charles Santerre: Of course they are.
I bought VRTX around $30, when these guys were Downgrading the Stock. I've sold it around $54 when they started Upgrading VRTX to price targets well over $80. GS even said it would go up to $100.
Guess what? After a single day when it traded around $64, it never got there again... and now it's back to $40.
This is just an example. This year alone, I had similar experiences with SDRL and GOOG. -
when you add in I5 sales royalites, rim royalites, asha sales and payments from microsoft, costing cutting, the navteq sales, and saving from resturcturing... lumia doesnt really have to be the best seller, money saved is money earned, nok has beat the last 3 qtrs and i see it beating again, 3 straight ..this will take the stock higher
@ jt: MSFT payment is a lure. It is compensated by minimum royalties paid by NOK to MSFT. The difference is a bit in favour of NOK, recognized in COGS.
As for saving from restructuring: there is a long way to go. 38,000 employees generate EUR 3.3bn sales in smartphone div. AAPL generate $30bn with 30,000 employees (including all their activities though). More lay-offs (ie more costs) are coming in 2013. -

Washington — For all the growth in domestic manufacturing and exports, the ballooning U.S. trade deficit continues to be a thorn in the side of the U.S. economy.
The Commerce Department said Thursday that the nation's trade deficit widened to a larger-than-expected $51.8 billion in March, up from $45.4 billion in February. The U.S. posted record exports of $186.8 billion in March, but imports also hit a new monthly high of $238.6 billion.

Cronulla captain Paul Gallen told Grandstand the Sharks were saved by their defensive effort in their 18-10 win over Penrith at Shark Park on Saturday evening.
The Sharks struggled to manage just two tries amid wet and slippery conditions in their opening clash of the season, but it was their ability to restrict the Panthers to just one four-pointer that proved crucial.
The Panthers could only complete just over 60 per cent of their sets and their sole points in the second half came via a Michael Gordon penalty goal.
You can listen to Gallen's full interview with Grandstand's Richard Svenson below:
Click here to download the interview.
Gallen says the Sharks were forced to play "dirty footy" because of their lapses in attack, but at least they could take pride in their performance on the defensive side of the ball.
"Probably 90 per cent of the errors we made were unforced and that's just not good enough," he said.
"We just stuck in there with our good defence tonight."

You had to expect the last night of the Southern Foodways Alliance Symposium in Oxford would be a blowout, especially given that the theme of this year's gathering was barbecue. So for the final night, we headed to Woodson Ridge Farm for more of the best smoked meat in one place than anyone has a right to. Let's go down the line, shall we?
It's not all stuffing yourself silly at the SFA Symposium in Oxford, Mississippi. OK, there's a lot of that. But we learn some stuff too. For instance, did you know that male hogs have a corkscrew shaped penis? It's true! A sampling of other goodies from the gathering thus far
Hello, Mississippi! It's day one of the annual Southern Foodways Symposium, organized by the Southern Foodways Alliance in Oxford, Mississippi. The SFA does incredible work documenting the food cultures of the South, and as a pre-game kick off to the symposium, yesterday we took a side trip to the Delta, often called the most Southern place on earth. Stay tuned for more from the symposium itself. But here's what we've learned so far
Two things we love about Charleston: the food and the fishing. Which is why we were proud to sponsor this past weekend's Local Catch Cookout, organized by the Charleston Wine + Food Festival (February 28–March 3).
If you're a G&G reader or just a fan of Southern music, you likely know the name Scott Avett, the banjo-wielding co-frontman (with brother Seth) of the Avett Brothers. But what you might not know is that his artistic leanings extend well beyond music. In his off time (what little there is of it anyway, considering the band plays about 200 gigs a year), Scott Avett is also an accomplished painter. He holds a BFA from East Carolina University, and his work has been shown at galleries both in his home state of North Carolina and all the way to New York City

U.S. foreign policy with China, under both Republican and Democratic administrations, has been, "Loan us your money, so we can buy your stuff."
Some of our most-valuable industries, from global banks like J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM) to distribution networks such as Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (NYSE:WMT), have emerged over the past few decades to help carry out this long-standing policy.
This week, the Pew Center, a nonpartisan think tank in Washington D.C., released more of its extensive research into the general public's perceptions of this policy. It appears that we, as a general public, are afraid. Very, very afraid.
What did we think was going to happen? You can't keep selling Treasurys to China for years on end and then ask, "Why does our government owe China more than $1 trillion?" You can't keeping watching corporations ship jobs to China for years on end, and then ask, "Gee, where'd all the jobs go?" You can't keep running annual trade deficits and then ask, "Hey, how did we dig this massive hole all the way to China?"

I have been working the Aonzo Family Scales for a while, and I feel really comfortable with those scale patterns (which are essentially the 1st FFcP on the bottom 2 courses, and the 4th FFcP on the top 2 courses.)
So it is like this:
1. Why do I need to learn the 2nd FFcP and the 3rd FFcP?
2. What is to be gained by spending time on two wholly new fingerings?
3. If it is a matter of playing different keys, can't I just use the 1st FFcP and the 4th FFcP on different strings?
4. Ted talks about getting to intuitively know the "emotional colors" of the different interval relationships. That being the case, wouldn't I be better off going deeper into the 1st FFcP and the 4th FFcP, which I know from the Aonzo scales?
Okay, folks: prove me wrong.

at the Inside Bainbridge website, they actually had a picture of a tray completely full of burned duck....an incredibly high fat bird and the most common cause of oven fires, I've heard. What's more alarming is that the cook mentioned in their story came from her nearby home when she heard the commotion of the fire response. Since this is such a dense retail strip, I'm just curious if there were indeed any staffers in the kitchen at the time? I'm assuming that there must have been staff there, and the vent hoods carried the smoke outside where passersby were alarmed. But the wording of the other article made me curious.

VARANASI: Loud explosions ripped the air in Mehdiganj, under Mirzamurad police station, when around 200 LPG cylinders exploded one by one between 3.30 am and 5 am on Saturday. The cylinders caught fire when some policemen tried to cut the iron grills of a truck with gas cutters to save the life of a cleaner. Two trucks were reduced to ashes while, despite massive efforts by police, even the mortal remains of the killed cleaner could not be recovered for postmortem.
SP (rural) Harish Kumar, CO Badagaon, SDM and police force from several police stations rushed to the incident site to ensure diversion of traffic. Natives of Rakhanua village were asked to evacuate the village. SP (rural) Harish Kumar said the police and fire fighters had no option but to wait until the explosions stopped. Eyewitness said the cylinders could be seen going high up in the air up to 500 metre while their parts were strewn in a radius of about one kilometre. The fire fighters had to exercise till late in the morning to extinguish the fire.

Jazz a Lot, Raptors a Lot Less
I'd call this rock bottom, but the saddest part is that I still think it can get worse.
Here are some thoughts on the game and the general state of this team right now:
Jazz 131, Raptors 99
Forget thoughts on the game tonight. This game was too much of a shitshow to break down individual performances or to pinpoint what specifically went wrong.
What is the duplicate article?
Why is this article offensive?
Where is this article plagiarized from?
Why is this article poorly edited?

Blake Vernon, an instructor for the Honors Core II class for freshmen at the University of Central Arkansas, gave his students the chance to make a choice.
According to Vernon, there are eight sections to the course and in each section, students have to complete a community service project.
Vernon said his students chose to clean up and renovate the community garden in front of the McGee Center.
"The first thing that we did was get in contact with the person in charge of the community, Ann Herring," Vernon said. "She suggested some things for us to do and she told us to run it by Derrick Cox, who is the director of the McGee Center."
The group has been working for the past two weekends, and Vernon said the project should come to an end next weekend. The class is focusing on infrastructure, education and outreach.
As part of the infrastructure portion of the project, the class will clear out paths between the lots, paint the shed, build a flower bed around a sign and redo the sign. The class will also put up a concrete border around the garden, so city maintenance can have a boundary.
"We have designed some signs that we are going to put at different posts throughout the garden," Vernon said. "For example, we'll set up a compost sign by the compost bin, and it'll tell how to take care of compost. By the raised beds, we'll have a sign that will have information about raised bed and its advantages. There will be other signs, including mulch, paths and water."
All of the signs will be used for the educational requirement of the course, instructing and giving the community information about a certain aspect or product of gardening. The final part of the project, the outreach portion, will get in motion soon.
"The outreach part, people should see in the next couple of weeks," Vernon said. "We are going to put up signs all around Conway, so people will know that they have this garden to use. The signs will have all the contact information of who they need to get in contact with."
Vernon also made a note that there are 15 students in the class, who all helped, along with volunteers from the community.

The two candidates for the Coalville mayoral election were finalized Monday, which was the day the city had set aside to count incoming absentee ballots. As none were received, the final two candidates were declared to be Trever Johnson, with 128 votes, and Arlin Judd, with 39 votes.
The election is set for Tuesday, Nov. 5.
"I appreciate the wide-ranging support [residents] have given me. I look forward to being able to compare and contrast what our goals are for Coalville," Johnson said. "The mayor has quite a bit of work to do. There's the wastewater facility to be constructed, and there's a lot of responsibility there."
"We've got a lot of work to do," Judd said. "There are some issues with the city's water delivery system that are going to need to be addressed in the future that will require a bit of effort."
The bridge over the Weber River is another project that Johnson said will be very important for the next mayor. Drawing people to live in Coalville is another of his and Judd's priorities.
"We need residential [growth] and with that will the opportunity for the commercial sector to do better than it has been doing," Judd said. "We have lots available for people to use, but we're just not seeing much movement."
"For the future, we need to make Coalville attractive for move-ins for the growth of the citizenry," Johnson said. "There are some opportunities there and we need to expand the citizenry to help support businesses and support growth."
Recreational opportunities Johnson added are also important to residents, and he said those must remain affordable. As to specific growth, he pointed to the once vibrant industrial park.
"There's infrastructure there that is I think ripe for an opportunity. That will be my main focus in terms of growth that's been put on hold for the last six years," Johnson said.
"There's been a continuing misuse of what I call rejuvenating the vitality of the city rather than seeing it the way we have been," Judd said. "We need to experience some growth under the parameters that are set in our code and work diligently to see if we can grow Coalville."

Tessa has been elected to serve as one of two Liberal Democrats on the Energy Bill Committee, which will meet throughout June to scrutinise the new Bill, clause by clause, before it becomes law. Flyer for Public Meeting – Tessa Munt
Today, Tessa met with representatives of Friends of the Earth and the Citizens Advice Bureau to talk through changes which might improve the new Bill. Tessa asked for advice from both organisations on how to ensure that the Bill addresses problems such as rural fuel poverty (where more than 10% of a household's income is spent on heating a home).
Tessa has approached many individuals for suggestions, including calling a meeting next Saturday for locals to discuss the new Bill and offer their suggestions for improvements. She said "All the major parties have welcomed the proposals. Nonetheless, I'm sure there are ways to make it even better and I hope the input from local people will help make this Bill the best yet."
Tessa said, "I am really pleased to be so involved in this particular Bill as it covers many crucial matters which affect us on a daily basis. For example, I'd like to see changes to the way energy companies charge us. At the moment, the more energy we use, the less we are charged. We should be charged much less for the first essential units used, and only be charged more for any extra units used after that, which would encourage fuel economy."
"The rural environment and the countryside have been my passion for many, many years and it is great to know that I have the chance to influence what happens next. With a few changes, I can see how a good Energy Bill could make an excellent Energy Bill, and I look forward to working with my fellow Lib Dems to do just that!"

Data collection as right-wing bugbear
Something led me to read this Salon.com piece about the U.S. Republican party's rejection of a longstanding process of collecting data on the populace, a change which reflects so closely the Harper government's scrapping of the long census form (and its disposal of other forms of data collection) that I recommend we all read it.
The final two sentences of the article especially apply:
Progress is built on the accumulation of knowledge, and ideological rigidity shouldn't be able to compete against the truth that derives from a better understanding of our universe. And yet that's where we are today — watching as one of the two major political parties in our country becomes not just more and more distrustful of science, but also opposed to the very notion of information-gathering — and governs accordingly.

Lawyers & Law Firms
Civil Litigation
If President Obama is so confident that the Supreme Court will uphold his crappy ObamaCare then why is he issuing the warning to the Justices? Did he get a leak that the Justices voted to repeal it? Has the President — who purports to be a constitutional scholar — ever heard of Marbury v. Madison which says the Court is the ultimate arbiter of a statute's constitutionality, and is the Zero President now attempting to undermine the Court's authority?
The President is a joke and ObamaCare is unconstitutional.
The federal government does not have the constitutional authority to mandate citizens to enter into contractual relations with corporate entities for the purchase of goods and services.
Thank goodness the Supreme Court apparently will be putting the constitutional breaks on an out-of-control and drunk-with-power President Obama.

Known in recent years for their success on the club 7s circuit, Schuylkill River nevertheless doesn't want to be know only for 7s. "The one thing that is always in the back of my mind is, we don't just want to be known as a 7s team," said Pat Boyle, who captains both the 15s and 7s squads. "The guys are very cognizant of that. Most of the best 7s teams in the country all have fantastic 15s side, and we want that, too." |

Aqua-Jet Miami
Over the ocean, a mechanism whirs into gear and 1,000 gallons of water start to rush through a jet pack's motorcycle-style throttles, lifting the wearer up toward the sky. Though that experience might sound like a scene from an action movie or the last barbecue you attended, it's at the heart of Aqua-Jet Miami's regular outings. Trained by Jetlev Academy, Aqua-Jet's instructors provide thorough yet brief safety instructions to riders before they take flight strapped to Jetlev R200X jet packs. Once in control, riders can reach heights of up to 30 feet while they fly above the ocean and take in scenic views of downtown. These flight experiences are also coupled with sunrise and sunset boat tours, which provide ample time for guests to play around with provided inflatables and paddleboards as they wait their turn to fly in the jet pack.

That's how you cut the cord ladies.. Get Real and do the work..If you think there is a quick fix to the problem Im here to save your pennies .. Its doesnt work that way..
NO CONTACT is MY GOD of choice when in Narcville..
After you said "F**** You" did he try and squirm his way back?
I'm someone who much-previously posted about psychic-cord cutting. I'm not an adolescent hoping Hogwarts is real. I do believe in meditation and visualization and question why God is in question, here.
I had my "psychic cords" to narc "cut" by 3 different "specialists". I live in a VERY NEW-AGEY town.
Two of whom were highly recommended healers with long histories of formal spiritual training (one in Buddhism).
I also had multiple "clearings" of the narc, and just to be thorough both of my parents and my sibling, incase the narc was somehow in my life because of "father issues."
For me nc is a long long hard road, with help of a wonderful counselor, I am progressing...
NC is the only solution.
So how does no contact work, when you have two children with him and a court order for visitation?
I ONLY text, email or speak to him when there's something I have to respond to regarding our children. I've tried to have my daughter (who's 8, son is 5) to take a cell phone so we can talk directly - but he won't let her use it, so calls only come through his phone once a day.
How did you get your ex to let go of your kids?
In your case, LC, limited contact is the obvious. It sounds to me like you are doing all the right things, taking all the right measures. Soon, the children will be at an age where they will be using a cell phone and their Dad won't be able to "control" them in regards. Be patient, in time this will evolve.
As far as having to contact him in order to speak to the kids, try and have them call you directly. If that doesn't work, keep doing what you are doing. Sounds like you have a pretty good handle on things in that aspect.
I totally agree. The N is just a symptom and we need to get real and do the work to:
1) find out what attracted us to the N in the first place
2) work on our own underlying isssues
3) learn to spot the red flags, LISTEN to our gut instinct and try not to get involved with one of these freaks again.
Psychic cord cutting is like diet pills - if it sounds too good/easy to be true, it usually isn't!
Have a fantastic weekend.
NO CONTACT has to part of everyones journey to healing and moving on...if you don't go NC you will not and cannot heal completely...I truly believe this and say it over and over on here all the time! I NEVER thought I could do it...but once you do ...day one, day two, day three, one week, two weeks, one month, two months, three months....if I can do it ANYONE can...just take it day by day and if you fall start over, but once you get over the smallest hump...it just all comes together and you know in your heart that you just can't give this dumb ass NARC one more ounce of your energy ever again!!!!!
Chapter One
I went for a walk down the street there was a hole in the sidewalk. I fell in. It took a long time to climb out.
Chapter Two
I went for a walk down the street there was a hole in the sidewalk. I went around it. I fell in. It took a long time to climb out.
Chapter Three
I went for a walk down the street there was a hole in the sidewalk. I pretended not to see it. I fell in. It took a long time to climb out.
Chapter Four
I went for a walk down the street there was a hole in the sidewalk, I looked in and with eyes wide open I fell in. It took a long time to climb out.
Chapter Five
I went for a walk. I took a different street.
Author unknown
I love this! What a perfect way to tell the story of encountering an N, the cycle that follows, and finally, personal triumph.
Thank you!

Subject: [NYJEFFER] James McKenty
I am a brand new subscriber to the Jefferson County mailing list and my
search is basically for one person only. If it should lead me to others in
my very incomplete family tree, then so much the better.
My paternal grandfather was James McKenty. My brother and I never knew him
or barely anything about him other than the fact that he was apparently a
serious alcoholic and he abandonded my grandmother and my father and his
siblings when my father was about 12 or 13 years old - sometime around 1900!
Our father NEVER spoke of him and we never even knew until recently the
names of our ggparents or g aunts or uncles much less that we even had any
in the first place! This thanks to our recent involvement in the geneology
search. where my brother happened upon what turned out to be a cousin in
Kentucky that we never knew existed! His ggfather and our grandfather were
Anyway, one bit of information that we do know (partly thanks to an obit
that I recall my mother showing me) is that he (James) wound up in the
Theresa/Philadelphia NY area, that he died sometime around 1958 or 1959 and
that his funeral services were held in a Methodist Church in that vicinity.
His place of burial remains a mystery as I don't remember any other info
from that obit. He was born in April 1872 in the town of Norwood NY but
there is no information to be found about him in St Lawrence Co other than
in the birth records of my father and his siblings. We have recently come to
suspect that he may have been buried in the same family plot in Calvery
Cemetery in Norwood as our Grandmother but if he is, there is no record or
marker to confirm it.
There is no record of him beyond 1900 in any census records that we have
viewed - same thing for SS records or any other record for that matter!
I guess my question, after all the preliminary info above, is can anyone
give me the name, address and possibly an email address for the
aforementioned Church, or...any tid-bit of information to help us find
Many Thanks!

Here is what some mommies had to say…

-I took my kids to the sitter and said I was working but I wasn't
-I hate winers but love wine
-I slept with two glorious men one lovely evening
-I confess I killed an injured kitten with my little girl, sent it to heaven
-Even though I am thoroughly fully and madly in love with my husband I did fall under the spell of tequila and am guilty of the pleasure or passionately kissing another man
-left my baby with my crazy hippie sister
-I used to leave my daughter asleep in her crib and run to the corner store
-took my children's name in vain
-daughter bleeding from the waist down holding an animal skull with fangs just said "don't let your grandmother see that thing"
-I hate the name of my son-adoption has its downside
-put myself first on numerous occasions
-dropped LSD with my 13 year old niece when she came to visit
-had sex in a glass elevator in the courtyard of Calgary City hall
-I took my 11 month old with me on an island while we wandered around in search of man-eating komodo dragons
-I swear at my kids every day
-gave my mom a vibrator at her divorce party
-my daughters held a surprise birthday party for me on the way home from work I saw all the cars and kept on driving past
-I picked my daughter up out of the crib and accidentally smacked her head right into the slanted ceiling-she still seems like a bright girl
-It takes 180 photos to get 1 with everyone happy in a Christmas photo
-I don't know what I did with my spare time before I had kids
-Photographed the wedding of my husband's gay lover
Hi folks,
I have compilled the last batch of confessions into one post, as you can't seem to see them all otherwise…I'm not expert in wordpress!
Dear BAD MOMMY
Ok, here's my confession. I don't like looking at babies I think their kind of ugly. I hate it when people ask me to hold there babies, they look like aliens. I'm a bad Mommy, don't make me hold your ugly baby.
anonymous Bad Mommy
Dear Bad Mommy,
I just picked up MacDonalds Happy Meals for my kids on the way home from work. I'm a nutritionist. I'm going to hell
bad mommy
I'm not actually sure who the father of my daughter is-not like I am a total whore or something, but I did sleep with two guys around the same time. I don't want the guy I'm with (who thinks he's the dad) to know so I can't tell him to get the test. I'm worried.
God, I suck,

Two comments about Kingsley Abbott's review of Lamont Dozier's Black Bach album: 1) Kingley's "most satisfying track" Let Me Shine Tonite, is actually called Let Me START Tonite. 2) I would have to disagree with Kingley's opinion that it is Lamont's "best solo work". I would put it in second place, but the undoubted top spot must go to Peddlin' Music On The Side which contains the classic Going Back To My Roots,Sight For Sore Eyes and the title track itself.
Actually, thinking about it has made me realise that all Lamont's solo albums are brilliant. Time for a feature on the gentleman rather than wait for a paragraph in your Not Forgotten list!

Education and good old-fashioned fun will come together Saturday at Buffalo Gap Historic Village.
Two Halloween-themed events are designed for all ages. From 3 to 5 p.m., children 12 and younger are invited to visit each building in the village. They will be met by a character dressed in period costume for "trick-or-treating frontier style."
For example, children will meet a teller in the bank or greet a prisoner in the jail. The frontier character will talk to the children as if they had returned to the West Texas frontier. After the presentation, the children can say, "trick or treat" or "pillage the village" and receive a piece of candy from the interpreter.
Older visitors to the village Saturday can get their own Halloween kicks by taking one of two ghost tours, scheduled for 8 and 9 p.m. Guests will hear frontier horror stories as they wander through the lantern-lit village guided by a volunteer.
For those more interested in history than Halloween, the monthly Chautauqua Learning Series will be held in the R. Lee and Ann Rode Gallery at 11 a.m. The scheduled speaker, living history re-enactor Ron Harmon, had to cancel because of illness. But organizers promise a replacement speaker will be named.
The series is based on the Chautauqua Movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Ira Fistell is a familiar and even beloved figure in the Los Angeles radio market, where he long served as an exceptionally amiable, thoughtful and well-informed talk-show host on subjects ranging from politics and religion to vintage trains and Mississippi steamboats. Along with Dennis Prager, he was a host of "Religion on the Line," a Sunday evening colloquy that brought clergy of various faiths together and proved that theological shoptalk could be compelling to a general audience.
Around our house, Irvin D. Yalom is a familiar name, and for more than one reason.
"Writers don't die of typhus," goes one of my favorite quotations from the work of Isaac Bashevis Singer. "They die of typos."
Contemporary Bible scholars tend to look at religion as the object of study rather than the source of inspiration, or so we might conclude from their writings. But something quite different can happen when they are confronted with the kind of life experiences for which religion has always served as a balm.
Starting with its beguiling title, "Journal of a UFO Investigator" by David Halperin (Viking, $25.95) is an enchantment from beginning to end, a coming-of-age story that is also a kind of whodunit and, above all, an eerie adventure tale set in the subculture of flying saucers and space creatures.
I first encountered the work of Erika Dreifus at her literary blog, "My Machberet," which I quickly bookmarked as a must-read site (erikadreifus.com), and I was so impressed by her acuity, discernment and style that I invited her to contribute book reviews to The Jewish Journal. Now I have the opportunity to call attention to her debut work of fiction, "Quiet Americans" (Last Light Studio, $13.95), a deeply affecting collection of short stories that displays all of the qualities that I admire in her literary journalism.
If there is a Palestinian Arab who deserves to feel aggrieved, surely it is Dr. Izzeldin Abuelaish. Three of his daughters and a niece were killed by a shell fired by the Israel Defense Forces during the fighting in Gaza in 2009. Yet Dr. Abuelaish has refused to resort to recrimination and struggles instead to make sense of these tragic deaths.
Adolf Hitler may have been bloody in tooth and claw, but he was enough of an aesthete to understand that Paris was the center of gravity for European culture. On the only visit he made to the city during World War II, he went sight-seeing like any other tourist, then or now. Still, the open-mindedness that made Paris so appealing to artists, writers and intellectuals from around the world inspired only contempt in the Fuehrer.

As if last week's kidnapping and bank robbery didn't draw enough police attention in eastern Wake County, why, I say, why are there so many patrol cars guarding the highway lately?
The first thing that comes to mind is the weather is nice and warm, and hey, it's summer time. People are getting out and doing things (both legal and illegal) and trying to get to their destination in record time.
But still a curiosity in my book is the joint effort between local towns' police officers on 64/264 between Wendell Boulevard and Highway 96 (Arendell Ave.).
It's got my attention because lately as you head toward Wendell from the Knightdale side of things there is a Zebulon K-9 unit monitoring the road, and then when you get past Lizard Lick (into the Zebulon jurisdiction) there are Wendell cops doing the same — more or less a role reversal.
I thought that was weird enough, and still don't know if they're looking for someone in particular, drugs, or what, but then I saw the true conundrum — a Durham Five-O in Wendell. WOW. I know. Tell me about it. What could possibly be going on here?
One half of me wants to call the local police departments and put an end to my measureless curiosity, but the other half of me doesn't want to spoil the endless possibilities that stem from such ignorance.
It's almost like the kind of thing that would become the perfect rumor in a small town. Maybe they're searching for aliens. If anyone knows the truth, or thinks they do, I'd love to hear about it.
