McDonald's and Yum! Brands Had Bad Results But Good Returns
Alexander is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The restaurant industry actually isn't that hard to understand. Companies in the industry focus on comparable-store sales, store openings (international primarily), and share buybacks to sustain earnings-per-share growth. Things that have impacted growth have included biohazards, regulation, and currency market fluctuations. With that backdrop, let's review McDonald's (NYSE: MCD) and Yum! Brands' (NYSE: YUM) earnings.
McDonald's earnings
The company reported a 1% year-over-year gain in comparable sales. Consolidated revenue was up by 2% (the remaining 1% in consolidated sales came from the opening of more restaurants, from franchisees).
The company reported a 3% year-over-year increase in expenses, but was able to offset that with a 2% improvement in revenue (the company has a really large gross margin, so a gain on sales would be able to offset a similar percentile increase in expense). It also reported income tax increases of 0% even though the company was able to generate an additional 2% in net operating income. This resulted in the 4% gain on net income (after all, if operating income increases, but the tax rate remains the same, take-home pay gets bigger.)
So in summary, what happened in McDonald's quarter was slight improvements in comp-sales and restaurant count, plus earnings that got padded due to better tax strategies. With a licensing strategy, I could only imagine the creativity over at McDonald's tax accounting department.
The company reported diluted earnings per share of $1.38 for the second quarter. The company reported earnings that slightly missed the consensus forecast set at $1.40 per share. As a result, the stock declined in valuation following the earnings announcement.
Analysts on a consensus basis anticipate the company to resume higher rates of growth, with earnings growth expected to be 8.4% per-year over the next five years. The company could generate the higher rates of growth by opening more restaurants. Also, the European economy is projected to turn around by 2014. So if anything the company's earnings performance should eventually improve.
Yum! Brands' earnings
So Yum! Brands reported serious issues in its international strategy, particularly China. The company reported that same-store sales declined by 20% year-over-year in its China segment. It reported that weaknesses in the Chinese segment came from the avian flu, which is flu from birds that can mutate to spread to humans.
The weaknesses in the Chinese segment seem largely temporary. After all, fish demand eventually recovered even though nuclear radiation was dumped into the Pacific Ocean (largest body of water in the world) off the coast of Japan. So, I could only imagine that the scare over chicken will be temporary.
On a consolidated basis, the company reported an 8% year-over-year decline in total revenue for the second quarter. The decline in revenue was accompanied with a 7% year-over-year increase in expenses. Falling revenue and rising expenses are a bad combination. So, in the end the company generated a 15% year-over-year decline in net income.
The company reported diluted earnings per share of $0.61 (13% year-over-year decline). On the upside, it provided guidance that earnings per share should be able to stabilize at around mid single digits. This implies that going into the third and fourth quarters, the comp sales in China are expected to improve.
Basic outlook on the industry
It seems that restaurants, depending on locality, are exposed to food epidemics. Going forward, investors have to watch out for contamination in water supply, biohazards, and radioactivity, as they can have a significant impact on earnings going forward.
Source: YCharts
The thing that really stuck out, however, was the limited impact the avian flu had on the price of Yum! Brand's stock. The stock eventually recovered, and its one-year performance was similar to McDonald's. The price was impacted over the short term, but recovered because the long-term fundamentals have remained largely intact.
The restaurant sector performed fairly well based on the 34.2% gain in the value of the PowerShares Dynamic Food & Beverage (NYSEMKT: PBJ) ETF. However, what's even more interesting is that the industry itself is expected to grow earnings by 7.8% year-over-year. So there seems to be a fairly large disconnect between the performance of these stocks and the year-over-year growth that has been estimated for restaurants as a whole.
Source: Goldman Sachs
In 2013, investors have opted to invest into riskier asset classes like fixed income and equities. The real kicker is that equities have been able to attract $74 billion in fresh capital. This has been able to push the valuation of stocks even higher.
The overriding theory is that there's a large asset rotation taking place. Higher bond yields means falling bond coupon values, and most people in the financial sector get paid on performance. So the underlying theory is that asset managers are shifting portfolios to have a greater composition of stock rather than fixed income/money market.
Sector strategy
It couldn't be a bad idea to own the Powershares Dynamic Food & Beverage ETF as it offers diversification and a 1.4% distribution yield (dividend). The fund's gross expense ratio is pretty high at around 0.6%, but that is because the fund's market capitalization is $318.3 million, which is small for an exchange traded fund. If the fund had a larger market capitalization, the fund's base fee would most likely be lower.
On the bright side, the distribution yield offsets the management fee and the fund offers diversification that generates higher yields than the stalwarts of the industry. The exposure to smaller regional players like Denny's and Sonic is the source of capital appreciation. The smaller restaurant franchises have more upside as they have not reached full market saturation domestically.
McDonald's and Yum! Brands both missed earnings expectations this past quarter. This has sent mixed signals to analysts and may force downgrades from different analysts. McDonald's strategy of generating better results through creative tax practices could only take the company so far.
The industry should be able to garner added capital appreciation. The lion's share of it will come from regional restaurant chains. Even though earnings growth rates are declining for the industry stalwarts, the stock performance of these giants should continue to improve based on equity inflows.

if LFR was meant to have any impact on what happened to heroic raiding, then the exact same argument could and should have arisen when they introduced the normal/heroic split; and yet we still had content being nerfed. Expecting LFR to impact on whether nerfs happened or not and to what flies in the face of precedent. Given that it was never intended to, it can't really be used as a mark against blizzard. If you want to put a mark against them simply for nerfing the content, then that's fine, but it has nothing to do with LFR.

Alright, time to travel back into the murky waters that is the Volkswagen Group's lineup mash-up. Here's what we do know: Audi will get a version of the Volkswagen BlueSport concept . How it fits into Audi's family is the debate.
Audi has been using a codename R4 on a mid-engined project. The thought was that the R4 would be the Audi based off the BlueSport. This rumor itself was already pretty tricky, and was explained last month . Now Auto Express is using the codename R2 for the VW based roadster, which could move the playing field.
If plans for a R2 and R4 both exist then, it could mean multiple cars coming from both Porsche and Audi. Porsche is possibly getting a version of the BlueSport chassis that could go to a 914 revival . An earlier rumor pegged the R4 to share many pieces with the Porsche Boxster . So one possibility is that the R4/Boxster/Cayman could play big brother to the BlueSport/R2/914 chasis.
But all this is speculation also would mean that the Volkswagen Group is laying out a lot of money on new designs at a time when cash is tight. Plus there are plenty of questions still to be answered: Is there really room in the Audi lineup for a R2 and R4? How many chassises will Audi be utilizing? Is this just a case of one car going under two names?
Only time and Ritalin will give us the answer.

Young boys also began to play football and
idolize sports champions (SDN-067094, SDN-066412).
More high schools began to sponsor football teams. The
newspaper photographers shot pictures of local teams, such
as these high school players from De LaSalle (SDN-069400, SDN-069621)
and from Schurz high schools (SDN-069385) in Chicago. Some college students
became cheerleaders (SDN-069380) and began to travel with teams, such as this
group from Tulane University in 1925 (SDN-065666). By 1929, when this picture

When called a meeting in July to bring municipal officials and ComEd executives together to resolve some of the problems arising from severe summer storms, asked to attend.
Little did Hileman know he would be volunteering to head a task force examining ComEd's response to outages. On Tuesday, he and others presented the results of their work during a news conference sponsored by the Northwest Municipal Conference in Chicago: a white paper that Garrett hopes to turn into legislation to hold ComEd accountable for its actions.
More storms, more problems
Hileman served on a similar task force three years ago after an earlier series of storms and thought some progress was made. But when Glenview's Village Hall lost power for more than a day in June, he realized he was mistaken.
"The problems were virtually the same," Hileman said. "The one thing they did was assign external affairs personnel to each municipality. They were of little help. ComEd was unable to provide information for two or three days."
A new, better plan
This time the task force designed a plan for ComEd with input from the municipalities. Unlike previous efforts, ComEd did not have the opportunity to shape the discussion, according to Hileman.
According to the new plan, when municipalities determine an area outage emergency exists, ComEd must establish an operations center staffed continually with all available methods of communication including fax, telephone, texting and email.
Garrett, who was flanked by and explained she had given the white paper to the Legislative Research Bureau (LRB) in Springfield two weeks ago to be drafted into legislation. The LRB is a bipartisan agency that drafts all legislation for the General Assembly, according to May.
also worked with ComEd in the past to resolve issues. One of the things that motivated him to join the task force was a communications failure by the utility.
"I received a message from them telling me a crew was at the site," Frenzer said. "What they didn't know was I was standing on the site and no one was there."
Unlike companies like UPS and agencies like most suburban police forces, ComEd is unable to track its vehicles.
"The system avoids liability," Frenzer said, explaining the corporate rationale.
Holding ComEd accountable
A number of people who spoke, like Northwest Municipal Conference Chairman and , and Bannockburn Mayor Jim Barkemeyer, want ComEd held accountable.
Rotering told the group how the Highland Park Police Department was without power for four days and the main fire station for three.
In Bannockburn, Barkemeyer explained how the Village removed a live wire from the Village's main north south street that would have taken three days if it waited for ComEd.
"A citizen said 'I'll get my electrician' and he wound the wire around a pole," Barkemeyer said. "Our police commissioner took a chain saw and removed the tree from the road."
Responsibility is part of the plan.
"If they don't perform they will lose their exemption from liability," Frenzer said of the proposal that would require ComEd to reimburse customers for failures that cause a refrigerator full of food to spoil. Profitability will also be reduced.
'Not tough enough'
Garrett has a clear idea of what she wants to see in the bill. She recognizes it may ultimately be part of larger legislation that includes the implementation of the smart grid. The smart grid legislation which was vetoed by Gov. Patrick Quinn last month.
"The bill will require accountability, reliability and communication," Garrett said. "Everything we have seen shows more has to be done to insure the ComEd bill meets the expectations of the community and the customers."
Accountability is a worry Garrett, May, Nekritz and Rotering discussed before the meeting. They want the (ICC) to have the authority to enforce the new requirements.
"We have to clarify the ICC can come in and deal with loses," May said. "Who is supposed to follow up on this (complaints against ComEd)? It should be the ICC. The ICC needs to be more consumer oriented."
Some have argued the ICC can only regulate rates. Garrett thinks the agency has more authority and ComEd recognizes this.
"ComEd went to them about exemption from damages," she said, referring to an effort by the utility to avoid paying for spoiled food. "The ICC has not been tough enough."

Boston Tunnels Attract International Interest
MassDOT participated in this month's three-day international conference in Boston about the latest developments in roadway tunnel operations, maintenance, security and technology. Boston was selected to host this first conference organized by Arena International because it has the most sophisticated underground highway system in the country.
Arena International worked diligently not only with MassDOT personnel but with many jurisdictions in the private and public sector to bring this conference together. MassDOT partners at the NFPA and AASHTO... Read the complete article.
New Bedford Station Design Contest
MassDOT and the City of New Bedford announced an informal design competition for a new station near Route 18 to be known as Whale's Tooth. The multi-modal station will be built as part of the South Coast Rail project and may host a new local and intercity bus terminal. The announcement was made in New Bedford City Hall by Mayor Scott W. Lang and Kristina Egan, Director of South Coast Rail, MassDOT.
In addition to holding a design contest, the City, MassDOT, and the Southeastern Regional Transit Authority have launched an initiative to identify ways to improve local bus service and provide service to the Whale's Tooth station. Customer surveys are underway to gather information from riders and the larger public. Recommendations will be released next year in the first comprehensive report ever developed for the bus authority.
The contest poster and background information about the station site are posted on the project website, www.mass.gov/ southcoastrail. Submissions are due on December 20, 2010, and must include one or two drawings or renderings and a description and rationale for the design.
The Road to Reform
MassDOT Reform: Online Bidding
Catherine Cagle, MassDOT Manager of Sustainable Transportation
The MBTA is continuing its long and fruitful legacy of advancing the construction of shared-use paths with the announcement of two new leases that will turn abandoned railroad corridors into new paths. Just as the MBTA has done with many abandoned rail corridors, including the corridor that now hosts the popular Minuteman Commuter Bikeway, these two recent MBTA initiatives will promote shared-use path construction that will foster healthy transportation modes and provide new connections to transit, residential areas, schools, and employment centers.
The Somerville lease will facilitate the extension of the Mass Central BSG corridor. A 1.2-mile section of the former Somerville Freight right-of-way, between Lowell Street, Somerville and the Cambridge border, will be used exclusively by Somerville to build, maintain and operate a rail trail. Under a previously approved license with the MBTA, the City of Somerville has already developed the rail trail between the Cambridge border and Cedar Street. This action allows the trail to be extended to Lowell Street. Increasingly popular with residents, the rail trail provides a safe and convenient pedestrian and bicycling connection to the Davis Square Red Line station.
The Saugus Branch lease will speed the expansion of the North Shore BSG corridor. The MassDOT Board has approved a separate 99-year lease with Revere for an approximately one-mile section of the former Saugus Branch right-of-way, between the Malden and Saugus borders. This section of inactive railroad will become part of the 10 mile-long Northern Strand Community Trail (Bike to the Sea) which, when completed, will travel through five communities. Under the lease agreement, the City of Revere will assume the cost of scrapping the abandoned rail and disposing of the old railroad ties. As with other rail trail agreements, the lease includes a reversion clause should the property be needed for other future transportation purposes.
To date, the MBTA has entered into 27 similar agreements with cities and towns, leading to the creation of more than 100 miles of rail trails. This valuable program preserves right-of-ways for the Commonwealth's future transportation needs, as well as providing environmental and recreational benefits.
The MBTA's actions reinforce major MassDOT initiatives, the GreenDOT Policy and the Healthy Transportation Compact, and they directly support implementation of the 740-mile, seven-corridor Bay State Greenway (BSG) identified in the 2008 Massachusetts Bicycle Transportation Plan.
Fore River Bridge Public Meeting Set
A MassDOT Public Meeting for the Fore River Bridge Replacement Project is scheduled for:
Thursday, January 13, 2011, 6:30 – 9:30 PM, Fore River Club House, 16 Nevada Road, Quincy
The replacement of the Fore River Bridge, which carries Route 3A over the Fore River between Quincy and Weymouth, is part of Governor Deval Patrick's Accelerated Bridge Program to repair or replace structurally-deficient bridges across the Commonwealth. The Fore River Bridge Project is one of the largest in the program and when completed will create a permanent, movable bridge to replace the current temporary span.
The public meeting will present the Environmental Assessment for the Fore River Bridge Project. The Assessment now available for public review is prepared to evaluate alternatives and impacts for the permanent replacement of the 1936 Fore River Bridge, which was demolished in 2004 and temporarily replaced with the existing movable lift bridge. The Assessment is available on the project website, www.mass.gov/massdot/foreriverbridge, and at the Weymouth, Quincy, and Braintree public libraries. Public comments are due by January 26, 2011 and will be accepted during the meeting or may be mailed to the Federal Highway Administration and MassDOT as directed on the project website. Following the presentation, MassDOT staff will lead a discussion to gather comments and answer questions.
For more information about the Environmental Assessment, contact Michael Furlong at the Massachusetts Department of Transportation, 10 Park Plaza, Room 4260, Boston, MA 02116. Mike can also be reached at 617-973-8067 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
If you have questions, would like more information about the project, or would like to be added to the project mailing list, please contact Stephanie Boundy, 617-973-8049 or at firstname.lastname@example.com.

text: An apparent argument over crowd control between high school football referees and members of the Covington Police Department led to the arrest of two members of the officiating crew. The incident happened at the Mandeville-St. Paul's game at about 8:45 Friday night. St. Paul's Athletic Director Craig Ketelson told WWL's Deke Bellavia, who was broadcasting from the game, that an argument between two referees and police that were providing security became heated. Ketelsen said, "I have never seen anything like this before." Ketelsen told Deke on the WWL Allstate Sugar Bowl Prep Football Roundup broadcast that he was thankful "all parties remained calm throughout." Covington Police Captain Jack West told Deke Bellavia what officers say happened in the incident: "Well, a referee asked a police officer to move some people back. The police officer moved them back. Another referee came up to the police officer and told him, 'that's not far enough.' The police officer explained....would you please handle the game, referee the game, and we will handle the crowd for you. The second referee told the police officer, nose-to-nose with the police officer, 'you're out of the game...get outta here.' And the police officer said, 'excuse me sir, just referee the game, and we'll handle the crowd.' And he says 'no, get out. Get out now.' West went on to say, "There's several witnesses that stepped forward who stepped forward to say that's what happened. So, the two referees have been arrested for public intimidation." The game was delayed about 20 minutes during the incident. Photo by Dominic Mitchum

HUDSON, WI (WSAU) - As week two of Aaron Schaffhausen's sanity trial got underway Monday, the parents of the man who admits killing his three daughters took the witness stand. Roger Schaffhausen said his son Aaron was a rebellious teen who had some "run-ins with the law." The elder Schaffhausen testified about their son's troubled childhood and also about his mental health issues.
He also says his son was expelled from school for stealing a gun and bringing it to high school.
Aaron's mother Sue Schaffhausen also testified that her son was extremely depressed when he and wife Jessica broke up. She also testified that mental illness was an issue for other members of her family.
Aaron Schaffhausen has pleaded guilty to killing 11-year-old Amara, 8-year-old Sophie and 5-year-old Cecilia last July in their River Falls home.

From EatingWell: October/November 2005
Mangos give a standard quick bread a lively flavor jolt.
Makes: 12 servings
Active Time:
Total Time:
Nutrition Profile
Low calorie | Low cholesterol | Low sodium | Healthy weight |View Our Nutrition Guidelines »
- Quick-Bread Dry Mix, (recipe follows)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup nonfat buttermilk, (see Tips)
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups diced mango, (see Tips)
- 1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans, (see Tips), plus more for topping if desired
This recipe calls for:
- Preheat oven to 400°F for muffins, mini loaves and mini Bundts or 375°F for a large loaf. Coat pan(s) (see "Pan Options") with cooking spray.
- Prepare Quick-Bread Dry Mix.
- Whisk eggs, buttermilk, brown sugar, butter, oil and vanilla in a large bowl until well combined.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, pour in the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Add mango and pecans. Stir just to combine; do not overmix. Transfer batter to the prepared pan(s). Top with additional pecans, if desired.
- Bake until golden brown and a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, 22 to 25 minutes for muffins or mini Bundts, 35 minutes for mini loaves, 1 hour 10 minutes for a large loaf. Let cool in the pan(s) for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack. Let muffins and mini Bundts cool for 5 minutes more, mini loaves for 30 minutes, large loaves for 40 minutes.
Tips & Notes
- Make Ahead Tip: Store, individually wrapped, at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
- Tips: No buttermilk? Mix 1 tablespoon lemon juice into 1 cup milk.
- To cut a mango: Slice both ends off the mango, revealing the long, slender seed inside. Set the fruit upright on a work surface and remove the skin with a sharp knife. With the seed perpendicular to you, slice the fruit from both sides of the seed, yielding two larger pieces. Turn the seed parallel to you and slice the two smaller pieces of fruit from each side. Cut the fruit into the desired shape.
- To toast walnuts, pecans or hazelnuts, spread nuts onto a baking sheet and bake at 350°F, stirring once, until fragrant, 7 to 9 minutes. To toast sliced almonds, cook in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant and lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes.

Back in August, Katy Perry was in Brooklyn, NY to close out the MTV Video Music Awards with her hit "Roar." Tuesday night, she was back in Brooklyn to join her boyfriend John Mayer onstage for a duet during his concert at the Barclays Center.
John introduced her as "the fantastic Miss Katy Perry," and greeted her onstage with a hug and a kiss. The two then performed "Who You Love," their new duet, the video for which just debuted on Tuesday.
The video features couples, including John and Katy, riding a mechanical bull, and as Katy explained on Good Morning America on Tuesday, "Relationships are kind of like riding a bull. You hold on for dear life. Sometimes you get a little buck here and there and sometimes you get things thrown at you, but you get back on."
"Who You Love" appears on John's album Paradise Valley.

I LOVE nut butters. I make them and and eat them and love them. I do not, however love the calories in them. And sometimes I need a thinner version of nut butters, but not as thin as PBU.
So I decided to tweak some almond butter and came up with the following recipe for nut butters that are creamy and spreadable with a slightly lower calorie count than straight-up nut butters. The secret? Thin with a liquid, then make it creamy with coconut flour and guar gum.
Ya think I have enough measuring spoons?
Here is the recipe for what I am calling Nut Butter Silk, and in this case: Almond Silk:
- 1 Tablespoon Almond Butter
- 1.5 Tablespoons water
- .5 Tablespoon Coconut Flour
- 1/8 tsp Guar gum
- (optional almond extract)
- (optional stevia)
Mix together the water and coconut flour to make a paste. Add the rest of the ingredients. Let sit on the countertop for a few minutes for the guar gum to stabilize the mixture and get thicker.
This batch turned out a bit thick. You can thin to desired consistency with your liquid of choice.
Incidentally if you want to go all chemical on me, you can substitute the water for sugar-free Torani or Da Vinci syrup in any number of nut flavors. The possibilities are endless.
Spread on Apples, bananas, crackers etc. Or use as a sauce for drizzling or dipping.
This recipe makes one portion and has 125 calories. Enjoy!
Q: Do you have any creative ways to "thin" nut butters? I know that PBU is quite popular!

A police chase in the north metro ended with a car crashing into a house in Blaine, killing the driver.
The chase started around 2:30 a.m. Friday when someone called police to report a suspicious SUV in the neighborhood. When officers tried to pull the vehicle over, the driver sped off.
The SUV only went a few blocks before crashing into a house, killing the 31-year-old driver.
The crash ruptured a gas meter at the home, causing a leak but no fire. A couple sleeping upstairs had to escape through a window because the crashed SUV was blocking the staircase.
The homeowners said they could hear the crash and feel the impact. Moments later, they heard police yelling for them to get out, and could also hear the hissing from the broken gas line.
"I was in shock," said homeowner Jeff Salmi. "I thought it was a bad dream or a nightmare."

The future is in some very good hands.
SPOILER ALERT: If you have not read SUPERMAN/WONDER WOMAN #8 yet and do not wish to know what happens, stop reading this post now!
As if sixty minutes of breathtaking action and tantalizing twists weren't enough, tonight's season finale of Arrow also featured our first look at The Flash, the eagerly anticipated new DC Comics series coming to The CW this fall.
Did you miss it? Well, not to worry. Here's the teaser in full.
With all of the action and explosive twists the writers of The New 52: Futures End have managed to squeeze into the comic's first two issues, it's almost surprising to realize that the book's only on its second issue. (Second as far as numbering goes, at any rate. The Free Comic Book Day installment was a zero issue!) However, that's precisely where we are.
Hi DC Collectors and Facebook fans! Welcome to the "100K Likes" edition of Ask DC Collectibles, our semi-regular question and answer feature here on DCComics.com.
Tonight, Arrow will take its already impressive level of action to stunning new levels in a season finale entitled, "Unthinkable." The name is a reference to events within the episode, but really, it could just as easily apply to the episode itself.
Happy Wednesday, DC Collectors! As you know, today is new comic book day, but around here, it's also the day for new action figures as well. Yesterday, we gave you an early look at Hawkman, the newest action figure in our DC Comics – The New 52 line.
If you're not following Zack Snyder on Twitter, you may want to start. After teasing a reveal of the Batmobile yesterday, today he surprised just about everyone by giving us our first look of not just the Batmobile…but Ben Affleck's Batsuit as well.
Here are the tweets in case you missed them…
Yesterday, NBC gave us our first look at the new Constantine series heading to the airwaves this fall. Clocking in at around three minutes, this just-released trailer suggests that we can expect Constantine to be bleak, subversive and horrifying.
In other words, absolutely perfect. Here's the trailer:

My friend and I stayed here for a week and overall, found our stay an enjoyable and comfortable experience. However, a lift would have been nice as there are a lot of stairs! The staff were very helpful with the cases though. The room wasn't cleaned as much as we would have liked but the towels were changed often. Just don't drink the beers in the fridge unless you're willing to pay extra for them!

We stayed at Culture Hostel for 3 nights and really enjoyed our time there. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly and went out of there way to help us in accommodation when we decided to stay an extra night and they were fully booked. They even helped us with our bags to walk there! The hostel is located a good walking distance from the lake and there are heaps of shops and places to eat around the area. Would definitely go back!

FLOWERY BRANCH – Falcons first round pick Sean Weatherspoon gave the AJC his assessment of his minicamp performance.
"I think it went OK," Weatherspoon said. "I'm definitely not pleased with where I'm at and I shouldn't be. It was just been five practices and I just had a few chances to come out here and get it done."
Some things started to click for him, even though he was asked to play two different positions — weakside and strongside linebacker.
"I definitely feel comfortable with the progression that's going on," Weatherspoon said. "I feel that every time that I went back out there I was feeling a little bit more comfortable with what I was doing."
The Falcons were installing things between each practice to see how much the players would retain.
"I definitely feel a little bit more accustom to what we are doing," Weatherspoon said. "The main thing is that when I go home, I have to keep studying my book and make sure I'm looking over my notes. I want to make sure when I come back out here that I'm able to soak up more stuff as well as used the stuff that I've already learn."
After the draft Weatherspoon was categorized as a weakside linebacker by general manager Thomas Dimitroff.
"I like playing on both sides," Weatherspoon said. "I can show a little bit more versatility. I think they want to see me on both sides and maybe make an assessment. Maybe, one day I'll find a home, but I'm just moving back and forth right now."
Weatherspoon impressed middle linebacker Curtis Lofton.
"He has a lot of energy to him and that's what you like to see," Lofton said. "That's great for a rookie. He's going to be a good player."

Love the attitude–exactly right for a rookie(or any competitive person).Never satisfied with their performance, always looking for areas to improve. Recognizing the progress made, not dwelling on errors, willing to put in the effort off the field to get the desired results on the field. I think we've got ourselves a budding professional in both talent and demeanor….
May 11th, 2010
3:33 pm
I have not heard very much about the DT that we picked up in the 3rd round, Corey Peters. How was his mini-camp. Silence is not a good thing. I have more about Trey Lewis than Peters. What's up DOL? Why all the secrets about this guy? Is he slow to impress or pick up his assignments in the new system? With Babs and Jerry out, he should have seen a nice amount of snaps to know something.
May 11th, 2010
3:41 pm
Good question Infamous! The D-line is what we really need to know about. We addressed the secondary and the linebackers. Is JA98 lining up more as a DT now? Are the Falcons open to veteran talent on the line if some good ones become available? Does Trey Lewis look any better than he did last year?
May 11th, 2010
3:44 pm
I believe spoon will be a very good LB. I like that he is taking his playbook and will continue to study. He has to stay humble. I believe that Peterson will keep him grounded

Man i hope its not bad news about Peria.
May 11th, 2010
5:52 pm
I'll go out on a limb and say that we're going to see a lot of improvement from Trey Lewis. Keep in mind that he injured the same knee twice in less than a year. If it was an ACL injury (and I think it was), we all know that players can take 12-15 months to fully recover from that. I think he will start to show what we were seeing out of him as a rookie before the injury.

What the H$%# is Witherspoon doing in Texas, he was the #1 pick but this does not set an example for someone that we are counting on or the other drafted players to put forth whatever it takes to be a winner.

You have to remember… These rookies are not under contract right now.

You sure stirred up a lot of speculation with that "heavy DL news" blurb earlier–generated a buzz on the team website for sure…
Exactly right. Plus, the kid won't be getting home much over the next few months and probably has his hands full getting ready to relocate to the ATL. Ease up on the guy, willya?

11:55 pm
Looking forward to the D-line info. Not surprised about Weatherspoon at all. He'll bring glory back to the OLB position, and help us forget about a certain Dallas Cowboys 'tard that doesn't play here anymore…

I still haven't come down from cloud 9 yet, I could probably count the number of times the Falcons drafted the guy I really wanted on one hand (I'm still scarred from that T.J. Duckett pick.) Spoon is a perfect fit both in talent and personality, it's going to be fun to watch him and Lofton for a long time to come.

TREASURE COAST -- The Treasure Coast Community Singers is starting another singing group.
Under the direction of Doug Jewett, TCCS artistic director, and assistant Sarah Bartal, auditions for the new 100-voice children's choir will be held from 9 a.m. to noon on Feb. 16 at the North Stuart Baptist Church, 1950 N.W. Federal Highway in Stuart.
Children in grades 4 - 8 who love to sing are invited to audition. Singers should be prepared to sing a song of their choice without accompaniment. If selected for the auditioned choir, there will be a membership fee of $75 for the season, which lasts from February to June. Scholarships are available where financial assistance is needed.
The first performance for this group will be as the featured guest of Treasure Coast Classical Singers at their concerts on April 13 and 14. Reflecting on the events in Newtown, Conn., and in memory of the lives lost, they will join with the Classical Choir to sing John Rutter's "Mass of the Children."
The Treasure Coast Children's Choir official debut will be on June 9, the National Day of the Child.
The Treasure Coast Community Singers is a 501(c) 3 organization.

I really like this book because it relates to all the clasic fairy tales, but also creates some new ones like the enchanted forest — extremely funny.

Dealing With Dragons is probably the best book I have ever read! Clever, adventurous, captivating, and a good read for both boys and girls are only a few of the qualities this book has. I reccommend it very highly!

A nice twist on classic fantasy tales. Here's a princess that refuses to "play" the role of princess. A wonderful sense of humor is evident through out the whole series.

'Dealing with Dragons' is an awsome book about a princess that refuses to be proper, a dragon named Kazul, a tidy witch, another princess, another dragon, some wizards, and a couple buckets of soapy water with lemon juice.

This is a hilarious book about Princess Cimorene who runs away from marriage to not-so-bright Prince Therandil. Asking directions from a talking frog, Cimorene ends up as a dragon's princess. Cimorene enjoys her life as Kazul the dragon's princess, but knights and princes who come to rescue her are a constant nuicance. I recommend this book to anyone looking for a fun, fast read.

Unique to Pacifica
Pacifica is now accepting applications for fall 2014 in the M.A./Ph.D. Depth Psychology program with a combined emphasis in Community Psychology, Liberation Psychology, and Ecopsychology.
This specialization is a bold initiative to forge interdisciplinary transformative approaches to personal, community, cultural, and ecological challenges of our time.
While grounding students in the psychoanalytic, Jungian, archetypal, and phenomenological lineages of depth psychology, this specialization places Euro-American approaches to depth psychological theories and practices in dynamic dialogue with ecopsychology, cultural studies, and psychologies of liberation from diverse cultural settings.
Defining the Community Psychology, Liberation Psychology, and Ecopsychology program 9:36
Through community and ecological fieldwork and research, students work in the area of their calling, while deepening their ethical discernment, reflecting on their own positionality, widening their repertoire of dialogue and arts-based approaches, and gathering the theoretical insight and practical skills to conduct participatory action research, community and organizational program evaluation, and transformative work.
The C.L.E. Newsletter, Volume 2; Hearing Voices
Praxis classes mentor students in a variety of approaches to working with groups: council/ circle, appreciative inquiry, theater of the oppressed, public conversation, open space technology, community dream work, liberation arts, restorative justice, somatic approaches to trauma healing, conflict transformation, and imaginal and ritual approaches to community health and healing. Students will also gather the theoretical insight and practical skills to conduct participatory action research and community program evaluation.
Students in the Community Psychology, Liberation Psychology, Ecopsychology specialization:
Students and alumni work in fields such as education (high schools, colleges, universities, prisons, alternative learning centers, youth programs); prison reform and restorative justice initiatives; arts-based community building; trauma healing; advocacy and grassroots coalitions; social justice; organizational development and transformation; peacebuilding and community dialogue; health services (including hospice); NGO's (nongovernmental organizations); planning and evaluation; land preservation, peak oil planning and sustainability issues, local food initiatives; philanthropy; microlending and economic alternatives.
Herman Warsh Scholarship ProgramThe Herman Warsh Community-Based Scholarship Fund is for the M.A./Ph.D. Depth Psychology with emphasis Community Psychology, Liberation Psychology, Ecopsychology. The need-based scholarship was established to encourage students historically under-represented in the study and practice of depth and archetypal psychology who are committed to community, cultural, and ecopsychological work.
The Herman Warsh Matching Scholarship (CLE Matching Grant) enables any student who has a tuition sponsor (i.e., workplace, foundation, nonprofit group, faith group, or individual) to apply for a matching tuition grant from Pacifica (up to $12,500 per year). Applications are accepted through the year as long as funds remain.

Perhaps we should have a Patch Tuesday for TVs too. :)
Source: Security Ledger
Security Hole in Samsung Smart TVs Could Allow Remote Spying
The company that made headlines in October for publicizing zero day holes in SCADA products now says it has uncovered a remotely exploitable security hole in Samsung Smart TVs. If left unpatched, the vulnerability could allow hackers to make off with owners' social media credentials and even to spy on those watching the TV using compatible video cameras and microphones.
In an e-mail exchange with Security Ledger, the Malta-based firm said that the previously unknown ("zero day") hole affects Samsung Smart TVs running the latest version of the company's Linux-based firmware. It could give an attacker the ability to access any file available on the remote device, as well as external devices (such as USB drives) connected to the TV. And, in a Orwellian twist, the hole could be used to access cameras and microphones attached to the Smart TVs, giving remote attacker the ability to spy on those viewing a compromised set.
Currently, the Smart TVs offer no native security features, such as a firewall, user authentication or application whitelisting. More critically: there is no independent software update capability, meaning that, barring a firmware update from Samsung, the exploitable hole can't be patched without "voiding the device's warranty and using other exploits," ReVuln said.
The company posted a video of an attack on a Samsung TV LED 3D Smart TV online. It shows an attacker gaining shell access to the TV, copying the contents of its hard drive to an external device and mounting them on a local drive, providing access to photos, documents and other content. ReVuln said an attacker would also be able to lift credentials from any social networks or other online services accessed from the device.

Great customer support
I contacted Fatwallet about a cashback that was not reported and they got it approved in a few minutes, quite impressed!
4 stars
The Fatwallet '10% Off Any Order + Free Shipping' at Overstock.com did not work on July 18, 2014 Friday.
The Fatwallet '10% Off Any Order+Free Shipping' at Overstock.com did not work on July 18, 2014 Friday.
Whereas, clicking through a '10% off' link in an Omail to me resulted a 10% discount instantly.
I could not earn the 2.5% Cashback at Fatwallet/eBates, but earned and left behind 5% of merchandize subtotal for use in the next Overstock purchase, by joining O Club. Is Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne a rising Jeff Bezo? Overstock even accepts Bitcoins! How should Fatwallet/eBates strengthen its Cashback sharing? How can we the loyal e-shoppers assist?
5 stars
Great Experience
Already low prices made better through the use of FatWallet.com. Products shipped quickly and were exactly as described. Free shipping for large items was a major bonus. I saved many hundreds over what I could find elsewhere.
5 stars
Great selection and prices
I recently purchased a rug, lamp and towel bars. The prices were the lowest I've found on the web. I am surprised at the great selection on rugs and lamps, almost too many to choose from. I had to use the advanced search functions to reduce the number of matches down to a reasonable number. The rug I received was of very high quality at a very reasonable price. I'll be shopping at Overstock more often in the future.
5 stars
Great place to shop around for similar items
Overstock gets my business with it's simple and low shipping and it's huge selection of items. It's my go to place to compare prices and brands. Not always the cheapest but the no hassle way they do shipping and returns put them in the top tier with Zappos and Amazon for how they treat their customer. A great shopping experience.
3 stars
The sheets are a pretty as the photo. After the first wash, they aren't as soft as I had hoped.

2.5% cashback to fatwallet and then another about 5% back in club O points which you can use to buy anything on their website.

Love Overstock!
Great bargains, quality, and shipping! Snagged down blankets and a down-filled London Fog coat as my best buys of this winter season. Will continue shopping here!
5 stars
Excellent customer service
I ordered a sheet set and received the wrong pattern. Customer service numbers were on the invoice making contact simple. They immediately re-entered my order for fast shipment, and gave me directions to print a paid return label for the incorrect set. The replacement set arrived in three days. I will not know until my credit card statement is received that my account has been credited for the return, but I certainly hope it will be as smoothly handled. The clerk who handled the transaction was courteous, sympathetic and spoke English well, diffusing my irritation. I will use Overstock again without hesitation.
4 stars
Great service, not always the best prices.

Carved wood bench
The bench was beautiful and high quality. It took only an hour to put together. It looks beautiful in the foyer
5 stars
New headboard and platform bed
I read such good things about Overstock on Fatwallet I decided to give them a try.
I moved and needed a new bedroom set. I didn't want to pay the furniture store prices, but I wanted a solid, nice-looking, set. The Everett Espresso set from Overstock fit the bill. The shipping was fast and for $2.95 it absolutely can not be beat. The items came in 5 pkgs, and the set weighs in at almost 200 lbs. That doesn't mean, however, that it was difficult to set up by any means. I'm a pretty petite female, but I had no problem constructing the headboard, drawers, and frame. I am very satisfied with this purchase. I was extremely pleased with the quality, price, and followup of Overstock, and the 3% back through Fatwallet is the absolute icing on the cake! I mean wow what a great deal! I will absolutely be buying from them again.
5 stars
Very good
Love the discount from FW
5 stars
Very efficient
This is one of the most efficient retailers online. Ordering is so easy and quick. I had an issue when I went to pay that indicated a shipping charge which I had been told via the website was supposed to be free. After a chat with a rep online, he told me he would credit the shipping charge back to my card and send me an email to that effect when it had been completed. He was good for his word within a couple hours. Excellent service, Overstock!
5 stars
O.co - my go-to source!
Excellent source for low cost, high quality products. Doing kitchen and bathroom remodels, we've saved a bundle while getting beautiful items for our kitchen and bath. Stainless steel farmhouse kitchen sink, awesome kitchen faucet fixture, beautiful glass vessel sink bowls, kitchen appliances and more - all at highly discounted prices with free shipping, 5% back from o.co + 3% back from fatwallet.

One of My Favorite Stores
overstock.com has a great selection of items at fantastic prices. Their $2.95 shipping on any order makes it super-easy to find the "real cost" and their shipping is fast and reliable.

Advertised wrong model
Thought i was getting a great price on 3 Pelican cases. Used the Pelican model number for the case that includes foam.
Overstock shipped 3 cases, but no foam. This should have been a different order number.
Had to buy the foam myself from a local supplier to take care of my customer.
Overstock pointed to the fine print description which did say "no foam"
No Joy from Overstock.
5 stars
Overstock.com is on the rise again
Price, selection and quality is good.
5 stars
A pleasure to do business with.
I frequently check Overstock when making purchases, and I've made a number of purchases---including clothing, bedding, jewelry and rugs---on Overstock. The merchandise is always high-quality and shipped quickly. (and the shipping cost can't be beat!) On the few occasions I've needed to interact with customer service, I've found their reps and their policies to be outstanding. I've always been made to feel like a valued customer, and I've never been disappointed. Cash Back through FatWallet is certainly a plus!
5 stars
Great Prices, Service, and Product
I have been an Overstock customer for several years, and couple this with the fact that they are in the fatwallet program just makes me happier! I always check Overstock prior to making any purchases. If you join the O Club, you really maximize your rewards back.
1 stars
Lies, does anything they can to get out of paying CB!
FW and their merchants' condescending "possible reasons" for denying CB is an insult to one's intelligence! Excuses excuses excuses!! Overstock.com is just yet another in long line of denials and excuses. Such as:
A "phone order"????? WTF?? How in the hell could an order have been placed on the PHONE when there is not only a CLICK HISTORY FOR THE PURCHASE, BUT ALSO THE EMAIL INVOICE I SENT FW!!?!?!? That PROVES the excuses are TOTALLY NON SEQUITUR!!!
"Email campaign"??? A "search ad"????? How in the hell could the order have been placed that way WHEN I HAVE A @$!&#% CLICK-THROUGH TO PROVE I CLICKED THE @$!&#% LINK HERE?!?!?! That PROVES the excuses are TOTALLY NON SEQUITUR!!!
As ALWAYS you people and your merchants are digging for RIDICULOUS EXCUSES to weasel out of honoring the agreement!!!!! This CONTINUAL jacking-around of your members is INTOLERABLE, INEXCUSABLE, and FRAUD!! I HAVE HAD IT, I QUIT, AND I WILL BE SURE TO SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT THIS CONSTANT UNRELENTING FRAUD!!!
It's OBVIOUS that merchants here WILL DO ANYTHING to get out of paying $ to FW members because that CUTS INTO THEIR PROFITS! And FW ALLOWS AND CONDONES IT!
