Read this about CODI:http://biz.yahoo.com/e/090506/codi8-k.htmlDoes a conversion of Staffmark/CBS debt to equity mean that Staffmark/CBS can no longer pay its debt to CODI? Such conversions of debt to equity often occur during bankruptcy. I'm not sure in this case, but could it mean that Staffmark/CBS will not be providing a sustainable income stream to CODI anymore or at least less of one and that could mean a cut in CODI's dividend? Anyone have thoughts on this?
I read the link. It is certainly not good news nor is it a large caliber munition dropped on our foxhole. I presume class D shares are preferreds? Regardless, as is pointed out by another poster, we have a less secure position. I think we will do ok and will grant management some leeway as long as I feel they are being careful with my investment and not seeking to be on Forbes' front page. Thank you for the link. I had not seen this filing. Roger
I read the SEC filing and then went back to review the 10k to see if it shed any light on what this might be. Frankly, I can't figure it out, other than what it says, debt to equity with the equity being preferred shares with a $6 par value. Looks like CODI's $35m loan to Staffmark is a little less "secure" now. Maybe this is part of the projected "loss" for CODI this quarter? I've been waiting for the price to drop below $8 to buy some more. I guess we'll find out the answer Friday unless someone with more experience can shed light on this. (A $.05 loss x 31m shares = $15m.)
I didn't read the filing, but it sounds like the debt is being traded for stock. The debt does away and the receiver gets so many shares of CODI at $6 per share.

Check out these ideas for beautiful bathroom vanities. Get ideas for traditional bathrooms, plus more modern rooms. See how to use one vanity or a double vanity in your bathroom.
Classic colors give this bathroom a crisp modern feeling. Black marble tops the painted vanity for a sophisticated look, while square knobs add a modern touch. The vanity has ample counter space as well as cabinets, drawers, and open storage space underneath.
A toile skirt adds soft style to a simple double vanity and conceals items stored underneath the countertop. The skirt is practical yet stays in line with the bathroom's traditional, feminine style.
See how to get loads of style into a small bathroom vanity with these ideas.
A curvaceous European-inspired vanity has major impact in this master bathroom. The intricately carved detailing sets this vanity apart from the rest. The countertop mimics the curve of the vanity drawers as does the round vessel sink that completes the look.
The graceful curved legs on the furniture-style vanity commands attention in the feminine bathroom. The variation of pure white and off-white paint adds an ever-so-slight contrast to the piece and adds to its light and airy feel.
This double vanity with the dark wood base and light marble countertop has a rich, luxurious feel. The custom piece is over 9 feet long and supplies more-than-adequate elbow room and storage for the owners of this master bath. Glass knobs add a hint of sparkle and take the room's overall glamour to the next level.
This simple white vanity adds visual interest and definition with an X motif on the cabinet doors. The vanity's overall look matches the plank wainscoting and coastal theme that dominates the small bathroom.
This simple, white double vanity has storage space for two and helps out with the laundry. A niche in between the two sinks is reserved for a laundry basket, perfect for collecting dirty towels and washcloths. This way, the laundry basket stays accessible without taking up precious floor space.
A hard plastic covering on this fanity looks like heavily grained wood, but is perfect for a steamy room like the bathroom. Plus, it's a fraction of the price of solid wood. When paired with a contemporary faucet and simple black pulls, the vanity looks sleek and modern.
Shaker-style cabinetry and a solid marble countertop give this double vanity a sleek and streamlined look. A warm white paint on the cabinets ensures coordination with the beige wallcovering, while clear knobs add a bit of sparkle to the piece. Twin sinks are separated by open storage that can conveniently house towels and washcloths.
A barely-there-gray on the vanity keeps in line with the bathroom's distinctly modern feel. A slate gray solid-surfacing countertop continues the room's tonal look, while stainless-steel handles on the drawers add industrial style. Open storage at the bottom is perfect for baskets or storing towels.
This industrial-style vanity manages to feel open while still offering lots of storage space. Steel rods and cedar planks combine with Carrara marble to make this double vanity a one-of-a-kind custom piece. Baskets work to store toiletry items while vintage keepsakes are left on display.
To fit into a compact powder room, this vanity had to take up a small amount of square footage while creating storage. The vanity has two drawers as well as open storage at the bottom. An off-center sink was a smart idea that created more usable counter space.
A solid stone vanity helps to anchor this bathroom in old world style. The vanity is loaded with character and the countertop is even embellished with a mosaic of colored tiles. The curve around the sink basin matches the curving backsplash of the vanity and helps to soften the piece's look.

Yep, I liked the quarter they just reported. This stock should not have fallen 60% this year. I think it can spend the rest of this quarter--at least--moving up back to a more appropriate stock price. Also, the shorts can't be too nonchalant about covering because there was already rumor about a buyout that popped the stock last week, they don't want to find themselves on the wrong end of a quick 20% move again.
They reported a nice quarter (especially compared to all the negative sentiment pushing this stock down for months). I am thinking that SODA can continue toward its highs of earlier this year over the next 6 months. Remember, not only is there high short interest, but also, expectations have been so low that the trailing P/E is just over 20. Furthermore, their last few quarters have been so bad that it will be easy to blow away those numbers next year. All those facts do make this an attractive buyout candidate, too, even though it was already an attractive buyout candidate before this good quarterly report.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
It should be falling back to $1.01 again. The East Coast had another snow fall and another cold snap with high wind chill (DC=2'' of snow, Philly=2'', NYC= 1", Boston=8"). I guess this will give management another excuse when they announce their losses next quarterly report... But let's be honest, they were going to report losses anyway.
Sentiment: Strong Sell
You expect them to lose multiple dollars per share over the next two quarters, or do you just like to use hyperbole and big exaggerations? Sure, earnings may be flat and they may have to pay part of the dividend out of their cash pile until next Christmas shopping season, but when you claim that a profitable company that has hundreds of millions of dollars of cash-on-hand and no debt is going to be in a worse financial position than JCP, CWTR, ARO, PSUN, JOEZ, BODY, and WTSL you just lose credibility.
Their agreement gives them high interest payments off the top, plus puts them in position for preferred shares that give them a dividend for the long term, and puts them in front of the common stock holders in case of a bankruptcy... No, their deal was fine, they knew they had Aero right where they wanted them and squeezed them for the deal that was most advantageous for them.
Don't call him a "d***" for being bearish on the stock... He's exactly right. The numbers were so bad that it ruins any good news from the recent past. Now we're back to just wondering if this company will survive.
After CBOU (Caribou Coffee) and PEET (Peet's Coffee) were offered buyouts, and SBUX (Starbucks) posted a great quarter last night, not to mention Green Mountain Coffee's (GMCR) move higher, Java Holdings (JVA), which is very levered to SBUX and GMCR is experiencing a short squeeze higher. This is starting to pop!
Yes, it is! Sorry, Gnome. I know you've been waiting on this stock to turn around for a few years now. It looks like you'll have to wait another year or more, or at least a few more quarters, to get back to even.
Sentiment: Sell
Yep, I knew it! It missed expectations again and will re-test its 52-week low this morning. It should crash right through it.
Sentiment: Sell
GME trades in large swings; it regularly trends up to $22 or $23 and trends back down to $17 or $18. It is looking like it has--just like it has many times before--completed its upswing to its ol' peak of 20-something dollars, and started a new swing back to its same ol' trough of sub-18-bucks. There is no reason to buy for at least a quarter or two... Or wait until the next generation XBox console comes out, and the next generation of Playstation is at least sooner-to-come... Until one starts to buy GME.
Sentiment: Strong Sell
This is still an $8.00 stock. 65 cents in earnings times a P/E ratio of 12 is just about $8.00. So, yeah, this stock should be $4.00 cheaper!
Sentiment: Sell
Four-and-a-half years later, it's still down 20%. All this time, this company has not been able to perminently lift the stockprice, and all the while, there hasn't even been a dividend. That's why everyone should only buy into great companies, not put their hopes in turnaround plays.
No, this stock is not cheap! Aeropostale is trading at 17x trailing earnings. Meanwhile, Macy's is trading at 11.5x trailing earnings, Men's Wearhouse is trading at only 12x trailing earnings, Kohl's is trading at just 9.5x trailing earnings, True Religion Jeans is trading at 13x trailing earnings (and Management is looking for a buyer to take them private at the same time), Joseph A. Bank is trading at 12.5x trailing earnings, Dillard's is trading at 12.5x trailing earnings, and Casual Male Retail Group is trading at just 6x trailing earnings. Also, American Eagle Outfitters is trading at 21x earnings, but it raised estimates and pays a nice dividend.
Oh, did I mention that Aeropostale cut earnings forcasts for the coming quarter?... So there's no reason to pay more for the higher multiple on ARO.
This stock is still moving upward; buyers continue to outweigh sellers.
Sentiment: Buy
You're exactly right, Blackhole. Centerview will collect a nice check telling them what they already know. Either dilute further or choose bankruptcy. There best bet would be to issue a secondary offering of 50 million shares at between $1.10-$1.25. That would give them between $55 and $62.5 mm to work with. But of course, that would hurt the common stockholders even more.... However, so would bankruptcy.
This last quarterly report has shown that $5.00 EPS per year is not the outlier, but rather, the norm. CSTR has earned $4.91 over the last 12 months, and this stock is only trading at 9 times those earnings. If this company can earn $6.00 in 2014, and Wall Street were to trade this company at 14 times those earnings, this would be an $84.00 stock.
That's a double from here, almost a 100% return, with only moderately better earnings necessary to get there.
I bought more down here, too. A double is definitely possible. This last quarterly report has shown that $5.00 in EPS is the norm, not the outlier, and the stock is currently trading at only 9 times that amount. If this company can earn $6.00 per share in 2014, and Wall Street was to give it a 14 multiple, this would be a $84.00 stock.
So, yes, a double is possible!
This stock has a lot of short interest, so as the price continues to trend higher many of the shorts will have to exit. This will put more upward pressure on the stock. I believe this stock could reach the 60-dollar range by the end of the year.
You stated ".....instead of actual intellectual conversation." If this board had any real 'intellectual conversation whatsoever, maybe your 'Old Gang' would have sold and left long ago before the 'U Fail', I mean the 'U Draw' flopped and made all your money disappear. Instead you're all here saying "I can't leave, I've got so much money tied up in this thing; I'll wait for it to get back to even", or "I've already lost so much, there's no point in selling now". Yeah, so much for "intellectual conversation" from the "Old Gang".
Also, you left it out from one of my previous posts, but I knew that BBY was going to continue to collapse and would miss on its next earnings report, and sure enough, just like clockwork, the stock crashed again on last nights pre-announcement.

Founded to provide affordable, high-quality seed for Virginia
farmers, Southern States Cooperative has grown into an agricultural
powerhouse, serving its more than 200,000 member/farmers as well as
non-members through 1,200 retail outlets across the mid-Atlantic
and Southern US. The co-op makes or offers just about everything
agricultural to its farmer/owners, including animal feed and
fertilizer; seed processing; grain marketing; equine health;
diesel, propane, and home-heating services; wholesale farm
supplies; financing; and even bib overalls. Its Southern States and
Garden South stores sell farm supplies, garden products, and fuel
through its retail outlets. Other services include crop services
and an aquaculture program.
Southern States Cooperative operated 200 company-owned retail
stores, retail stores, managed cooperatives, and agronomy
facilities as of early 2016. It enlisted the help of a private
dealer network of nearly 300 locations to distribute products
throughout the Southeastern US.
Geographic Reach
The co-operative has a presence in 23 states, mostly in the
mid-Atlantic region and Southern US.
Southern States Cooperative continues to introduce new types of
retail store formats to boost same-store sales. In mid and late
2015, for example, the co-op introduced two of its biggest-ever,
27,000-square-foot superstores in Mooresville, North Carolina and
Dallas, Texas. In mid-2014, Southern introduced its new Rural
America stores, which featured a 12,000 square foot showroom and a
large product line for the rural homeowner, horse enthusiasts and
small farmer.
The co-op in late 2014 also began enlisting the help and
technology of Real-Time Kinematic (RTK), one of the newest
high-tech tools to allow satellite information from the Global
Positioning System (GPS) network to guide field equipment with high
accuracy. It serves planters, fertilizer applicators, harvesters,
and other equipment. The co-op's Precision Agriculture unit made
plans in 2014 to offer RTK's technology to its customers in the
To note, demographic shifts are taking place across the
cooperative's region. Among them is urban sprawl, which continues
to extend into rural areas of the country. As a result, the
cooperative boasts increasing numbers of rural, rural-lifestyle,
and suburban customers looking for the same crop-growing services
and advice it provides to its members/farmers. To target this
new segment and translate its efforts into sales, it maintains a
country living/rural lifestyle section on its website.
Company Background
Southern States Cooperative was formed as the Virginia Seed
Service (VSS) in 1923. In 1930 VSS changed its name to Southern
States Cooperative.

Stephanie Catarino Wissman
Posted July 28, 2016
In Pennsylvania, the energy revolution has been very, very good to the commonwealth. Marketed natural gas production, which exceeded 4.5 trillion cubic feet in 2015, more than double output from just three years earlier:
Over the past half-decade, fees paid by industry to the commonwealth have totaled more than a billion dollars. Much of the money stays at the local level and is distributed to the counties and municipalities with the most shale wells. The top beneficiaries for 2015 included Washington County ($5.68 million), Susquehanna County ($5.25 million) and Bradford County ($4.92 million). Even in a down year for the industry, revenue to the commonwealth totaled $187.7 million.

Thanks largely to increased use of domestic natural gas, U.S. energy-related carbon emissions in 2015 were 12 percent lower than they were in 2005 – even though the economy last year was 15 percent larger than it was a decade before. EIA says the carbon drop is mostly because of changes in the electric power sector, where natural gas has become the leading fuel for generation. EIA reports that CO2 emissions from electricity generation were the lowest since 1993:
The larger point is one we've made a lot lately – that while there's a lot of talk about the need to advance climate goals, the United States already is doing it with a big assist from abundant, affordable domestic natural gas. It's a model that is working, even as the U.S. develops more energy here at home and as our economy grows.
The U.S. leads the world in reducing carbon emissions, which is a win in anyone's book.

Let's talk about choice – our energy choice, which is so relevant in this election year.
The great news is that America's energy renaissance, which has made the U.S. the world's leading producer of oil and natural gas, means we can discuss our country's energy future from a position of abundance and strength – free of the partisanship that frames so many other issue conversations in Washington. The need for energy is bipartisan, and we should approach our energy choices in that spirit.

When we think of U.S. security and jobs and enabling individuals in society, we're drawn to energy's significant role. Without energy security it's difficult to imagine an America that's stronger and safer in today's world. It's hard to craft a scenario for a stronger economy that's producing good jobs without secure energy sources. Energy also is a key factor in increasing individual prosperity and opportunity.
Thus, you see an overwhelming majority, strongly bipartisan, that supports a national energy policy that ensures a secure supply of abundant, affordable energy, produced in an environmentally responsible way.

Democrats will gather at Wells Fargo Arena in South Philly – nearly 4,500 delegates led by contingents from California (476), New York (277), Florida (238) and Texas (237). As was the case in Cleveland, energy will keep the show running.
Delegates will be glad for modern transportation that gets them to and from the arena, on excursions to the Betsy Ross house, the Franklin Institute and the Philadelphia Museum of Art's famous steps – decorated for the convention with one of the 57 painted fiberglass donkeys scattered around town, representing the 50 states, five U.S. territories (Guam pictured), the District of Columbia and Democrats Abroad.
They'll also benefit from generated electricity for lighting, sound systems, Jumbotrons and modern telecommunications – a collection of new fangledness no Democrat could possibly have imagined when the party staged its first convention at The Athenaeum in Baltimore in 1832 to nominate President Andrew Jackson for a second term.

Posted July 21, 2016
Reducing government regulation found its way into a number of the speeches at the Republican Convention in Cleveland, and this is especially important to the future of America's energy renaissance.
Along with cutting government red tape in leasing and permitting of energy projects, establishing a common-sense approach to energy regulation will help encourage the private investment and innovation that are driving the surge in domestic oil and natural gas production.
More on that below. First, remember that as the U.S. continues to lead the world in oil and gas production, we've seen economic benefits, cost savings for consumers, lower crude oil imports that have helped make America more energy secure and carbon emissions reductions that lead the globe.

Mark Green
Posted July 20, 2016
Because of vast energy reserves and the advanced technologies and expertise to safely develop them, the United States' energy future looks promising and secure. America continues to lead the world in oil and natural gas production, which is critically important for a future in which both are projected to remain the leading fuels supporting our economy and modern way of living. Energy security, in increasing measure, is in our hands … if.
If we make the right energy policy choices, and if we select leaders who will advance those policies. If we safely harness America's energy wealth, if we foster the private investment and innovation that launched the ongoing energy revolution – if we do all these things, there's no reason the United States can't benefit from secure energy far into the future.
In this election year we should identify visionary leaders on energy issues – those who see and grasp the historic opportunity provided by surging domestic oil and gas production and also the actions needed to keep that production going. In that sense, energy can be a 2016 vote-decider.

Energy and Campaign 2016 are a good fit. Whatever opportunity America has for present and future economic growth, individual prosperity and national security is connected to decisions voters will make this fall – and all of these things can be linked to energy.
All of us need energy, which is the reason it's a rare bridge between the usual partisan divides. API President and CEO Jack Gerard earlier this year:
"As the two political parties look to … unify their parties behind a slate of candidates and party platforms, we want to remind them of the bipartisan nature and foundational role of our candidate: Energy, particularly oil and natural gas, which makes our modern society possible and provides our quality of life."

When approximately 4,700 delegates and alternates gather in Cleveland next week for the Republican National Convention, energy will play a major role – powering the Quicken Loans Arena, transporting delegates and support staff to and from "The Q," running television broadcast equipment, cooking food, supporting high-tech communications and much more.
Think about energy's role this way: Without modern energy supplied by oil and natural gas, the event would bear a strong resemblance to the GOP's 1860 convention, when Abraham Lincoln was nominated at the Wigwam in Chicago.
Energy Tomorrow is a project of the American Petroleum Institute – the only national trade association that represents all aspects of America's oil and natural gas industry – speaking for the industry to the public, Congress and the Executive Branch, state governments and the media.

Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
This sequel to Lessing's futuristic novel Mara and Dann continues the saga of Dann, the refugee boy prince of the Mahondi, who searched with his older sister Mara for habitable land on a planet Earth beset by a new ice age. Several characters from that novel reappear, including Griot, a soldier who served under Dann, but Mara has died in childbirth. Grief deafens General Dann to the pleas of those who believe he alone can save civilization from the warring chaos of displaced populations. Lessing's long literary career includes much science fiction (the Canopus in Argos series), but this dystopia, underscored by its reluctant hero's existential dilemma—why go on just to go on?—resembles a classical myth, albeit one with no gods to intervene. As Dann disastrously tries to assuage his grief with opium, loyal Griot raises an army and finds a repository of books that preserves the wisdom of lost civilizations. Less of an adventure story than its predecessor, this sequel requires patience through several repetitive passages devoted to Dann's refusal to act. But that is a small price to pay for Lessing's acute observations. (Jan.)

From Booklist
In Mara and Dann (1999), the orphaned brother and sister survive their perilous adventure as they slog across the devastated continent of Ifrik thousands of years in the future, and they finally separate knowing that their passion cannot be consummated. Now Dann is grief-stricken to learn that his sister has died in childbirth. A respected general, he has left his own demonic wife and child, but he meets up with Mara's child, Tamar, and loves her as his own, training her to take over as leader of his people. The intimate family connection, the "passionate shyness," is exquisitely rendered. Unfortunately, Tamar only arrives three-quarters of the way through the story. To get there, one must slog through endless generic journeys in a future world destroyed by drought, floods, ice, and mud, with armies of refugees fleeing war and famine. Of course, the message does connect with the dire warnings in today's disasters. But the drama is in the personal, not only Dann's family but also his bond with his loyal snow dog and his friendship with his army officer Griot. Clearly there is plenty more to come. Hazel Rochman

Most Helpful Customer Reviews on Amazon.com (beta)
This isn't the desperate, fast paced adventure that "Mara and Dann" was but it does explore some interesting themes. For instance, Dann is obsessed with what he does not know. He is constantly tantalized by fragments of knowledge and remnants of truth. He is frustrated by the complacent incuriosity of those around him and it begs the question: When are we satisfied with our knowledge, world, condition? When do we stop asking questions? It has me examining my own desire to learn and I can empathize with his frustration of apathy.
I haven't finished the book. As I said I am still waiting for the story to begin but I've had that same anticipatory feeling in other Lessing novels and found that I was missing the story, the crux, because I was expecting something else. Once I realized this I could settle down and appreciate the challenge and story she was sharing with the reader. She is a unique writer and her style defies stereotype. Doris Lessing is a true artist whose talent and method of conveyance would be impossible to teach.
On a lighter note a "snow dog" has been introduced as a central character and I like stories that have fuzzy animal friends.
Read it if you are a Lessing fan but not as an introduction to her work.
The sequel begins nine months later, when Dann decides to fulfill his dream of exploring the Middle Sea to see for himself the ice-covered continent of Europe and ultimately to confront the demons that assailed him during his trek through the desert. The subsequent narrative expands upon two subjects from the first book: the lust for knowledge that fueled Mara and Dann's transcontinental journey and the drug-stimulated schizophrenia that inexorably worsens Dann's ability to lead, as a reluctant "general," the refugees who make up his slapdash army. During Dann's period of incapacity, the task of running the army devolves to a sidekick named Griot; like many messianic figures, Dann requires a loyal administrator to smooth over the public perception of his bipolar outbursts.
Although "The Story of General Dann" will make little sense if you haven't read the earlier book, as a sequel it is both satisfying (tying up loose ends and expanding on earlier themes) and frustrating (leaving just as many loose ends). The book's pacing is admittedly slower and the plot is slighter: this is more a character study than an adventure story. Significant portions of the book deal with Dann's psychological breakdowns, with Griot's hunger for Dann's approval, and with their obsession with finding out as much as they can about the mysteries of the past. This sequel seems, in fact, to be a bridge to a yet-to-be-published finale.
Yet Lessing still conveys her preoccupations with the frailty of knowledge and our continual need to recreate the discoveries of the past: "it's likes seeing the worlds of ghosts.... We are looking at words that were copied from others, written by people who lived long before them." In an interview with John Freeman, Lessing spoke about this theme: "What pains me is that everything the human race has created has happened in the last 10,000 years, you know, and most of it in the recent years. An ice age would just wipe that out. It would. Then we have to begin again then, don't we, which is what we always do." The Mara and Dann books, then, are not simply disturbing fantasies disguised as adventures stories, but parables on the tenuousness and persistence of human civilization.
It is a slightly disappointing sequel to "Mara and Dann" which lacks the latter's intensity because the plot is sluggish and less like the adventure the reader enjoyed in the first novel.
I'm referring to Lessing's preoccupation with consciousness: individual versus collective consciousness; the evolution of human consciousness (past, present and future); animal and even alien consciousness. She's also still fretting about all the waste and destruction of "what we've been landed with" (see The Four Gated City). Now she's particularly aggrieved over what we've done to the planet with which we've been landed.
Compared to the nonstop perils that Mara and Dann constantly struggled against, not that much happens in the sequel, other than the interactions between the characters. The most interesting of these is the relationship between Dann and Ruff, the snow dog he rescues from drowning as a pup. Lessing has written much about cats, but this is her first foray into dog consciousness. She is rarely sentimental, and makes no exception here--yet I defy readers to remain dry-eyed during certain passages involving Ruff.
Little did I know when I picked up A Proper Marriage nearly 35 years ago that I was being introduced to an author whose work would stimulate and nourish me for a lifetime. While this may not be my favorite of her work, I hope nothing I've said will dissuade anyone from reading it,or any of her other more than thirty books.

Lena, the hostess, was the loveliest person. Willing to do anything to make us feel comforting and so welcoming. It's a short walk to the beautiful bridge in Mostar. We had a car, so Lena kept a spot for us. She also recommended some places nearby which were absolutely breathtaking. One of the best hostel stays. Definitely felt at home.

East Atlanta Village is in uproar this weekend over a blatant scam in the lot behind Grant Central Pizza. The lot has long been used as parking for the businesses that are adjacent to it, but recently, that changed. A few weeks back, the posts around the lot were painted yellow and a chain was put up to prevent people accessing the lot. Then, last week the chains came down. On Friday evening, people who parked there were booted. They were forced to pay cash to remove the $75 boots from their cars. The same happened on Saturday morning. One story on Facebook told of a girl who couldn't pay the boot, and when she told the booters of this, they puta second boot on her car.
I went over to the lot this afternoon to check out what's going on. The lot did appear to have the signs in place required by the city ordinance, although some of the information required - for example, who runs the booting company - wasn't there. Also, unlike most lots that hire booting companies, this is not a lot where you can pay to park. It looked as though the chain keeping people out was taken down expressly to allow people to park so they could be booted.
I went to talk to Johnny Hollywood, owner of 13 Roses Tattoo Parlour across the street from the lot. I had heard that Hollywood was organizing legal action, and in fact he said that he has retained legal council to help sort the situation out. According to Hollywood, no one had ever seen the signage on the lots until around midnight on Friday, right before the booting started. He said people were speculating that the signs went up late Friday night and then the booting began.
Hollywood had been in contact with the lot's owner, Payman Deljou (yes, that's his real name), who claimed to know nothing about the booting. He said that he had recently leased the lot to someone (he wouldn't reveal who) for a short term lease. He said he didn't know what the lessee planned to do with the lot.
Under city zoning code, it is not allowable to charge for parking in East Atlanta Village (the lot on the corner of Glenwood and Flat Shoals was grandfathered in when this code was passed). With that in mind, it's hard to see why anyone would lease a lot if it weren't for their own patrons to use. Unless...the idea was to let people park and then boot them?
The ordinance governing vehicle immobilization states that complaints should be made to the Atlanta Police Department, which makes sense seeing as it's the APD Commissioner who licenses these companies. (Also, forcing someone to pay you cash because they've put machinery on your private property ought to be overseen by someone with a gun.) According to Hollywood, police were called when the booting took place, but the officer said it was a civil matter and not his problem.
I called the police in Zone 6 today and got two different answers. At first the nice woman on the phone informed me that the officer had told her it was a civil matter because it was on private property. When I said that I had the ordinance in hand and it said otherwise, she told me to call back. A few hours later I got an officer on the phone who said I should call 911 and an officer would come out to see if it was illegal. Which is allegedly what happened over the weekend, and when the officer arrived he said it was a civil matter.
Clearly, the APD are confused about whether this is their problem or not.
While I was interviewing Hollywood, he got a call on his cell phone from Deljou, who said the signs were coming down and the chains going back up. He still refused to say who he had leased the lot to. "What about all the people who had to pay $75 already?" Hollywood asked. Delijoo said that he would deal with that when he gets back into the country.
By the time we left 13 Roses, the signs about booting had come down. Were a minute before we saw this:
Now there is this:
It may be that this particular chapter in Atlanta's booting story is almost over, but it shines a light on a continuing problem. It isn't that hard for someone to lease a lot, pay some thugs and coerce money out of folks. If someone stood in the parking lot and held people up, demanding $75 each, the cops would know what to do. But when it comes to booting, the police obviously don't understand their responsibility.
It's easy to understand that this is wrong. What's Atlanta going to do about it?

After I was diagnosed with severe heart valve disease, I experienced several uncomfortable feelings including fear and confusion. I also experienced an overwhelming emotion of loneliness. I didn't know anybody with heart valve disease. I didn't know what to expect before or after surgery. Deep down, I really wished there was some may I could meet, talk with and learn from other patients.
For those reasons, I started this community to see if any other patients and caregivers felt like me. The rest, as they say, is history. Today, I'm happy to share that this community is helping thousands of patients in over 50 countries around the world.

If you've been following along you've read all about my entrepreneurial struggles, how at the beginning of 2016 I completely pivoted my business, and how I've been able to make more money online. A large part of that has been by strategizing and restructuring my site so that the blog itself makes more income, so I can write less for other outlets and spend more time on this site and providing my (thoroughly awesome) readers with more value.
Since I started posting my online income reports in April, I've been getting lots of questions, mostly asking how I've been able to ramp up my blog income. The answer? Affiliates!
But here's a confession: I made a whopping $90 in affiliate income last year. Affiliates just weren't a way I was monetizing my site.
And 2015 was the first year I did any type of affiliate marketing. 2015! After three years of blogging and building an audience.
But after three years of hard work (and getting a little burnt out on writing, honestly) I wanted to monetize my website in a more passive way so I could a) make more money, like my girlcrush/dream girl Michelle and b) free up some mental and emotional bandwidth to do other things besides chase the content writing dragon.
And it worked! Putting my energy into monetizing my site has increased my income, especially in affiliates. Here's how I made it to my first $1k in affiliate sales. (more…)

Who is to blame, Essien, Ancelotti or Terry?
Chelsea's slip ups this season is very embarassing and who is to take the blame? Essien's absence, Ancelotti's inconsistent formation and winning team changes or John Terry's offpitch scandal? I personally think is Essien. Essien is the driving force behind Chelsea and stats has shown that the team suffers in his absence. He defends well, hold the midfield and attack brilliantly and score goals and his shots are fantastic. I personally think he is the cause for so many slip ups because there is no replacement for him too. He wasn't fully fit yet decided to play for Ghana and further injuring himself when Chelsea needed him most. Things would have been different if he stayed fit all season bcos Chelsea would have been crowned EPL Champions by now and playing Champions League against Barca today.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
I agree 100% with you. Essien is a useless t*t!

EVS Instant Tapeless Technology was deployed at the 2010 Commonwealth Games held in Delhi, India, last month by Doordarshan Prasar Bharati, the host broadcaster for the recording, instant replay, editing, media storage and exchange/playout of live and pre-taped content.
EVS provided a solution that combined production networking with complete control of live broadcast actions, managing a total of more than 120 EVS production servers and their various software controllers. The servers supported 720 HD channels.
India's Zoom Communications and the UK's SIS managed the venues production for Doordarshan Prasar Bharati, while India's Shaf Broadcast and Australia's Global TV, broadcast and facility specialists, were in charge of IBC production. The companies involved in the host broadcast operations opted unanimously for the EVS live and content management system as the solution for the first HD coverage of the event.
EVS XT[2] servers equipped with the LSM remote controllers handled all of the venues' live replay and highlight operations. EVS also provided a centralized media server at the International Broadcast Center for full HD multiple feed ingest and media exchange.

Imagine the scene: There are harbor seals lounging on chunks of glacial ice, huge waterfalls, an eagle flying overhead. Then boom! You watch a glacier calving --or when ice is breaking off at the end of a glacier --from a small skiff with no one else around.
It's the Alaska you've dreamed of but may find elusive when you're cruising on a big cruise ship.
Of course there are shore excursions, but you may find you're not experiencing the amazing wilderness the way you had wanted.
If you want to see Alaska's rugged wilderness by water, there are several companies that can get you a front row seat.
They can cost more than a traditional cruise, but not that much more when you add in the cost of big cruise line excursions.
Here are my picks for seeing Alaska up close:
FOR THE FISHERMEN: Great Alaska Adventures will arrange trips to fish for salmon, trout and halibut. You can also fly in to their remote Alaska Bear Camp, between Mt. Illiamna and Cook Inlet, where Disney's new "Bears" nature movie was filmed.
FOR THE ADVENURE LOVING FAMILY: AdventureSmith Explorations can match your family to the right vessel—whether a yacht or select Kids in Nature adventure sailings on boats where guests hike, kayak, stand up paddleboard and fish. We opted for Sea Wolf Adventures kayaking trip off the USS Observer, a US Navy Harbor Minesweeper built in 1941 a restored minesweeper, where we kayaked every day. Austin Adventures offers family trips centered in the Kenai Fjords National Park, 669,984 acres on the Kenai Peninsula in southcentral Alaska, known for its amazing vistas.
FOR NATURE LOVERS: Take an Un-Cruise Adventure in the Inside Passage, a popular route for big cruise liners because of its panoramic scenery. You'll stay far away from big ships and explore remote waterways with anywhere from just 36 to 84 passengers on board. This cruise is for you if you get excited seeing pods of Orca Whales or breaching humpbacks—right in front of your boat, the chance to see moose and foraging bears in the wild or the chance to explore on your own in a kayak—every day if you like. We loved it! Read my trip diary.
FOR THE SHUTTERBUGS: The Lindblad-National Geographic Expeditions, with National Geographic photographers on board, will teach you how to take better photos as you hike, kayak and explore. There are special kids' activities too---including photo workshops.
Just make sure to pack good rain gear!

Featured Article: Let the Children Come to Me: How We Saved Our Catholic School - It was September 2007. I was three years into my pastorate at the historic St. Augustine Catholic Church in the Archdiocese of Washington. Our school had just received its notice of termination: with 175 students, it would close in June 2008 along with seven other parish schools serving predominantly African American students. Flash forward nine years. We did not close but are still here today alive and well! Read Full Story
I hadn't initially planned on
attending the National Black Catholic Congress XI this year. I had many excuses
in my mind for reasons why I would not go. One day, however, almost in an
instance I decided that I would attend. I cannot explain what came over me. It
was not clear what I thought I would gain from going or why I had abruptly
decided to go; all I knew was that it felt right, and that I was making the
right decision.
I have attended Congresses in the past as a youth.
But now as a young adult, I believe I learned more from the experience. Perhaps
now, as I am developing my own relationship with God, I was able to comprehend
the various topics discussed in a deeper manner. One workshop in particular
really had an impact upon me. The theme of the workshop discussed how to grow in
faith. When we are children we are influenced by our parents' beliefs; but, as
we mature and grow it is important that our faith and relationship with God does
so as well. This was only one of many moments during Congress XI that I felt
particularly moved.
Subscribe to our FREE Bi-Monthly Black Catholic email newsletter.
In the end, I am truly thankful that I had a change
of heart and decided to attend Congress XI. It is so easy to get caught up in
the hustle and bustle of life. If we are not careful oftentimes this becomes
breeding ground for the devil to try to have its way with us. It becomes easy to
get thrown off balance. Going to the National Black Catholic Congress XI helped
me to put many things back into perspective in terms of growing in my faith and
it also encouraged me to read my Bible more. It allowed me to become revitalized
in my faith.
Ever so often our cars need a tune-up; so does our
spiritual lives. Congress XI was an excellent way to do so. In addition, it was
a great opportunity to network with other dioceses, learn from the workshops,
and bring back what was learned to our own diocese. But most importantly, it
gave me a chance to worship with those from around the country.
I believe we represented the Diocese of
Pittsburgh well. I am glad that I went and look forward to Congress XII in

On tap: It takes two to make it outta sight. Two-start pitchers -- premier ones -- are the storyline of Week 10. Seven of the top 19 starting pitchers on our Player Rater (through June 2), four of the top five and six of the top 11 in terms of preseason average draft position and nine of the 30 opening-day starters will each work twice this week. Among those under the spotlight: Rookie sensation Michael Pineda, who gets another "second time around" test when he faces the Detroit Tigers on the road Saturday; he previously battled the Tigers on April 28. Ubaldo Jimenez, coming off a four-hit shutout against the Los Angeles Dodgers, draws a pair of outstanding matchups; he pitches Tuesday in San Diego's Petco Park before a rematch with the Dodgers at home on Sunday.
Reminder: For those of you in weekly transactions leagues, first pitch of Week 10 is 7:05 p.m. ET on Monday. Here are this week's other scheduled first pitches by day: Tuesday 7:05 p.m. ET, Wednesday 12:05 p.m. ET, Thursday 4:10 p.m. ET, Friday 7:05 p.m. ET, Saturday 1:05 p.m. ET, Sunday 1:05 p.m. ET.

• So are the Chicago White Sox smarter to go with a six- or five-man rotation? Better question: Who cares? Their pitchers feasted on home cooking during May, the collective group combining for six wins, eight quality starts, a 2.61 ERA and 1.21 WHIP in 10 May games at U.S. Cellular Field. The venue's homer-friendly confines have hardly bothered them; here are the career ERA/WHIP numbers at U.S. Cellular for their six current starters: Mark Buehrle 3.76/1.27 in 194 games (179 starts); John Danks 4.23/1.28 in 66 starts; Gavin Floyd 3.74/1.20 in 58 games (55 starts); Philip Humber 4.34/1.24 in seven games (4 starts); Edwin Jackson 3.71/1.38 in 15 starts; Jake Peavy 3.09/1.06 in 11 starts.
Danks (0-4, 6.89 ERA in his past five starts) is the only one of the six really struggling, and while he's a risky fantasy play he's also the team's lone two-start pitcher, barring his removal from the rotation following his Monday turn. His opponents are the light-hitting Seattle Mariners and Oakland Athletics, both of whom are averaging fewer than four runs per game with a sub-.675 team OPS on the road. He's also a combined 4-2 with a 2.47 ERA and 1.05 WHIP in nine starts against those two teams since 2009, meaning this might very well be the week he finally fills the win column. Certainly, I'd risk him in an AL-only league.
• Though the New York Yankees have received surprisingly good starting-pitching performances recently -- their starters have 12 wins, 16 quality starts, a 3.67 ERA and 1.24 WHIP in their past 26 games -- their schedule this week is littered with risk factors. Most notably, there's the week-opening series against the Boston Red Sox, a team that outscored them 18-9 combined during a three-game sweep in Yankee Stadium May 13-15. The Yankees unfortunately don't have their rotation ideally aligned for those three games. They can push Ivan Nova back and get CC Sabathia into the Thursday game, but even then, Sabathia is a mere 4-3 with five quality starts, a 3.43 ERA and 1.13 WHIP and an average of 6.56 innings in his 10 career Yankees starts against the rival Red Sox. Freddy Garcia (Tuesday's starter), A.J. Burnett (Wednesday's) and Nova (Thursday's) combined have a lifetime 4.80 ERA and 1.40 WHIP against the Red Sox, and bullpen use might be up in the series, which could adversely impact them during the weekend Cleveland Indians series. Be cautious and don't be surprised if one week from now everyone's saying, "Boy, the Yankees really need to trade for another starter."
• If the defending-champion San Francisco Giants are to successfully survive Buster Posey's season-ending injury, the way they'll do it is with elite pitching, which unsurprisingly was their winning recipe in 2010. Here's a week in which the Giants should thrive as a staff; it's a seven-game week including three against a Washington Nationals offense with a .655 road OPS and four against a Cincinnati Reds team that has scored just 54 runs (3.60 per game) with .236/.303/.345 team rates while losing 11 of its past 15 games. Look at some of those all-time Giants ERAs/WHIPs at AT&T Park: Matt Cain 3.20/1.18 in 94 starts; Tim Lincecum 3.02/1.19 in 66 starts; Jonathan Sanchez 4.09/1.32 in 84 games (52 starts); Ryan Vogelsong 3.83/1.22 in 17 games (five starts). Madison Bumgarner (1-5, 4.76 ERA and 13 starts) is the only one of the five who hasn't historically thrived at AT&T, but he also has an active seven-quality start streak. Load up.
• Exploit those Petco Park matchups for San Diego Padres pitchers, too, because while they have a three-game series against the Colorado Rockies to open their week, two of the Rockies' opposing starters -- Clayton Mortensen on Monday, Juan Nicasio on Wednesday -- are beatable spot-starters, meaning the "W" remains in the equation (if you put significant stock in that sort of thing, of course). Four week-ending games against the Nationals also plays right into their hands.
Two-start pitcher Clayton Richard and Thursday starter Aaron Harang are total splits guys; Richard has a 2.79 ERA and 1.19 WHIP in 28 starts at Petco, compared to 5.18 and 1.69 in 29 road starts, during his Padres career. Harang, meanwhile, has a 3.40 ERA and 1.24 WHIP in his seven Petco starts so far in 2011 but 4.84 and 1.52 in four road starts by comparison. The Padres have been fortunate to line up so many of the latter's starts at home, but keep enjoying it while it lasts.
Also favorable: Los Angeles Angels, Washington Nationals
Also unfavorable: Boston Red Sox, Dodgers

Team advantages
The chart below lists each of the 30 teams' total number of scheduled games, home games and games versus right- and left-handed pitchers, and provides a matchup rating for the week's games in terms of overall offense, offense for left- and right-handed hitters and base stealing. Matchup ratings for each individual game are listed under the corresponding date.
Some of the data used to generate this chart is derived from Baseball Musings' Day-by-day database.
H: Hitters' matchup rating, which accounts for the opposing starting pitcher's past history (three years' worth as well as past 21 days) as well as ballpark factors. L: Hitters' matchup rating accounting only for left-handed hitters. R: Hitters' matchup rating accounting for only right-handed hitters. S: Base stealing matchup rating, which accounts for the opponent's catchers' ability to gun down opposing base stealers. Ratings range from 1-10, with 10 representing the best possible matchup, statistically speaking, and 1 representing the worst.
Tristan's hitting strategies
• The Giants also stack up well from a hitting standpoint, which is quite a boon for a team that has had considerable trouble at the plate -- even before the Posey injury. During their seven-game week, played entirely at home, the Giants will face three spot-starters: the Nationals' Yunesky Maya on Wednesday and the Reds' Chad Reineke on Saturday and Mike Leake on Sunday. In addition, a few Giants hitters have experienced modest success against the rotation regulars they'll face: Freddy Sanchez is 5-for-14 (.357 AVG) lifetime against Johnny Cueto (Thursday) and has a homer and walk in his only career plate appearances against Travis Wood (Friday); Miguel Tejada has .350/.409/.400 lifetime rates against Cueto; and Eli Whiteside has a home run in two at-bats against John Lannan (Monday).
Sanchez, incidentally, is a .371 hitter with one homer and 11 RBIs in his past 16 games. Cody Ross, meanwhile, has .302/.413/.491 rates in his past 16, securing near-everyday at-bats. Both warrant looks in deeper mixed and NL-only formats.
• The Toronto Blue Jays, however, have the schedule of the week, primarily because they'll play four games against the Kansas City Royals, and any team that plays that many times against Royals pitching is going to generate a high rating. But it's more than that: The Blue Jays are also fortunate that the Red Sox shuffled their rotation, moving Josh Beckett and Clay Buchholz into the Yankees series and leaving fresh-off-the-DL John Lackey and spot-starter Alfredo Aceves for the Jays.
This Blue Jays team has batted .292/.353/.478 collectively and won 13 of 21 games since its May 10-11 two-game sweep of the Red Sox, and it's not one-man wrecking crew Jose Bautista responsible for all of that. Here are some of the other hot-hitting Jays since May 10: J.P. Arencibia .279/.333/.515, Rajai Davis .349/.386/.530, Yunel Escobar .346/.442/.538 and Corey Patterson .323/.343/.484. Davis stands out, in particular, thanks to his speed; the Red Sox rank among the worst teams in baseball at throwing out opposing base stealers. And the healthy return of Adam Lind -- expected no later than early this week -- should provide an added boost to this offense.
• You want no part of Tigers hitters this week, that is if you can possibly afford to find better alternatives. (Read: No, this is not advising you to sit Miguel Cabrera.) Look at what the Tigers' seven projected opponents have combined to do since May 15: 23 starts, 11-3 record, 2.03 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 3.26 K's per walk, and not one individual has had higher than a 3.27 ERA during that span (that's Doug Fister's). Meanwhile, the only Tigers who have an OPS higher than .820 since May 15 are Cabrera (1.057), Jhonny Peralta (1.014) and Alex Avila (.933). Add Victor Martinez (.675 OPS since May 15, incidentally) to those three and that might be about the extent of your Tigers starter considerations.
• The Angels' hitting matchups aren't quite as favorable as their pitching matchups, but they're worth a look, nevertheless. While their offense has been up-and-down lately -- they scored six or more runs in seven of their past 27 games but were also held to one or zero runs eight times during that span -- they do have enough useful pieces to fill the back half of a fantasy lineup. In addition, while they might struggle Monday against Tampa Bay Rays ace David Price, they get a soft matchup to make up for it Wednesday against Rays fifth starter Andy Sonnanstine. Add in a three-game weekend series against the Royals and it's a great week.
Fantasy sensation Erick Aybar has maintained a healthy level of production, with .279/.364/.441 rates and four stolen bases in his past 18 games. Torii Hunter has turned around his season with .262/.360/.508 numbers in his past 18, and Mark Trumbo has settled in nicely as a regular, with .254/.314/.476 rates in his past 18.
Also favorable: Red Sox, Chicago Cubs
Also unfavorable: Houston Astros, St. Louis Cardinals
Weather report
Weatherproof games: Cardinals at Astros (3, Tue-Thu); Braves at Astros (3, Fri-Sun); Red Sox at Blue Jays (3, Fri-Sun); Mets at Brewers (3, Tue-Thu); Cardinals at Brewers (3, Fri-Sun).

"Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens....Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose." ~ John Maynard Keynes
