Mon, sure looks like these boys are starting to line up for the door! (that'd be the exit door). We might of had a water shed moment today if it hadn't been such a strong market day. Had a bid in for $5 but not today!
The problem is the analysts don't know what data to analyze and the two handset market leaders have either been quiet or now, Samsung giving slightly reduced S4 guidance but overall steady revenues, just a slight shift to the mid and low tier. That is not exciting news.
Apple has been ultra-quiet for weeks, so Monday could get the analysts retooling their way of looking at the 2H13 shipments and how the tiers will come in. The top tier used to have a 400 million unit estimate for 2013.
I can't believe Sam cutting quarterly S4 shipments by 5m units is having this much impact on headlines.
Monrio........truly, I look to other companies to see how important that news was (SWKS, TQNT, BRCM, QCOM) and SWKS opened down hard and rallied back. TQNT was due for some "profit taking" and wasn't down nearly as much.
My feeling is this news allowed the PUKES to take this stock to where they wanted to take it last week. The Davidson upgrade and AVAGO news had this stock rallying to over $5.60 in a NY MINUTE from $5.12 (I was going to buy last week). The VOLUME was HUGE the day of the upgrade (more then today). So just like that day was not a turning point to the upside the jury is out if today was the start of a sell-off for this stock.....we were all looking for around this level as lets face it this stock always "tries our patience". Today was even better then most........CROOKS look for opportunities and today our first hint should have been the GAP UP and IMMEDIATE sell off........was at $5.31 for like 5 mintutes on 80,000 shares and they took us right to $5.20 minutes later.......come on.......did the same thing last week........CROOKS.......they were bringing us down today HARD and they accomplished it.
Nothing chnaged since this Tuesday morning when they presented.......my bet is that RFMD knew the Samsung news when they presented on Tuesday........they came across VERY CONFIDENT and I believe they will hit the $350 million quarter in a year or so......they might break 300 million this quarter and do 8-9 cents and guide to 10-11 cents on over $300 million 2nd qtr is my best guess.
Look at what they did to us with the QCOM news.......again, if you remember that day RFMD reacted worse then our competitors so why should today be different. This stock is ALWAYS MANIPULATED more and I believe the SWKS reaction was about right (down slightly) for the ne s announced......My gut feeling is that RFMD only has 20 million in their projections and maybe had 25 million next quarter so we are "maybe" 5 million short at most......doesn't justify the sell-off
How interesting was that head fake the other day? Dropping to $5.11, running back up to $5.4s and then back down again. Somebody could get hurt in here!

Peppers at 10, which seems low.
The History of the Football Field
For your bye week reading: a history of the football field from Smithsonian Magazine: http://blogs.smithsonianmag.com/design/2012/09/how-the-football-field-was-designed-from-hash-marks-to-goal-posts/?utm_source=smithsoniantopic&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20120930-Weekender.
Best combined FB & BB seasons?
I was going to put a Diary together that listed the best combined single-season records for basketball and football given how well this year has turned out, but that proved difficult. Despite a fair amount of google search efforts, I can't find a comprehensive history of Michigan basketball seasons that lists their records. At best I'd have to plug away season by season to get that information. Bentley, MGoBlue, Wikipedia - nothing helped.
So instead, I'll turn it into a board post and throw it out to the audience.
This season Michigan was 11-2 in football and 22-8 in basketball with several games remaining for a total of 33-10 and counting. Who can think of seasons better than that one?
If we ignore the forfeited wins, the Fab 5 were 31-5 in 1992-93 and football went 9-0-3. That's an astounding 40-5-3. Can anyone top that or find the best without the forfeited wins?
NOTE - If you add hockey to this game (21-11-4) we have a record this season of 55-21-4. In that same 1992-93 season hockey went 30-7 that year for an amazing 70-12-3.
Semi-OT: Help with Youtube Playlists for Michigan Videos
Many of you know of the legendary MGOBLOGGER known as WolverineHistorian. Many of you have watched his video recaps on the youtubez and basked in moments of Michigans great history. I spent a good chunk the other day organizing all of his (and a few other game recaps by others) into playlists, by the year, in order of games played throughout the season, with the extracurricular videos at the end. (1997 took me a good 45 minutes.)
I've got all of the playlists set up and ready to go on my Apple TV at home, but I wanted to share the playlists with you. Here is the problem, i can't seem to find a way to access my playlists as a guest on my youtube channel. In essence, I don't know what I can do to post them to where you can find them. I know that it will be mid April before we know it, and we'll all be going through football withdrawl. I'm stoked to be able to go back and watch past whole and partial seasons, but want you guys to have access too.
Anybody know how I can make these playlists available, findable, accessable, etc.?
I'm not trying to steal WH's thunder. He did all of the work, and great work at that. I am simply OCD and wanted to get the videos in order for my own purposes.
Let me know how I can do this.
Water polo update
With all the MGoBoard softball love, a shout out to another of the minor sports seems in order. After stumbling a bit out of the gate to a 2-2 start (both losses coming to top 4 teams), Michigan has scorched the California earth, amassing a 10-2 record, while playing unranked opposition only twice.
Tonight was an historic occasion for the Wolverines, as two players put their names into the Michigan record books. Senior Alison Mantel set the all time UM assists record, with 3 against Marist and 1 against Long Beach State. Sophomore goalie Alex Adamson, meanwhile, became the first-ever Michigan goalkeeper to backstop a complete-game shutout, as Michigan rolled Long Beach State, 6-0 (the 4 previous shotouts in UM history were combined efforts).
Tough opposition looms, as tomorrow Michigan is guaranteed to face two more top-ten opponents, including a possible rematch with #3 UCLA, who handed UM a tough 6-5 loss earlier in the year.
Water polo is a lot like softball, being a sport where the balance of power tilts heavily to California/West Coast teams, but Michigan is intent on cracking into the nation's elite. We've made several nice tourney runs, and have dominated Eastern water polo for some time. A national title is the next step, and it is only a matter of time!
Favorite Michigan season...with a twist
Threw this out on Twitter tonight, but I thought I would get MGoInput.
The premise is simple: What is your favorite Michigan season?
The twist: Michigan cannot have won a Big Ten championship in said season.
My choice is 1995, which is my senior year in high school.
- Lloyd's first season.
- The 17 point comeback in Virginia.
- The awesome that was Mercury Hayes.
- The underrated Scott Dreisbach
- Jarrett Irons at linebacker
- The epic 5-0 game against Purdue which has to be a Fandom Endurance II badge, minimum*
- And last, but certainly not least, Biakabutuka dials 313 against Ohio State.
Sure losing to Penn State and Michigan State sucked. Sure getting beaten by Northwestern hurt a little less when you realize they were in the middle of a Cinderella season. Yes, it's hard to accept that there was no Notre Dame game on the schedule a year after Remy broke their hearts, but 1995 is a pretty great year.
*-Did anyone actually break down the Fandom Endurance Badges and the standards for which one earns one? I know Northwestern 2008 is Fandom Endurance III because it was freaking cold, in the middle of a miserable season, and it was Northwestern, but I am wondering if the Central Michigan "Return to your Cars" game is Fandom Endurance II? Does the weather play a more central role than the opponent, which is to say, could a horrible weather game that Michigan won lessen the degree of a badge? Thoughts?
Better Historical Michigan Stadium End Zone: North or South
My one off in the thread on Brian's column today wherein I referred to the front right corner of the North End Zone as "Desmond's Corner" got me to thinking:
Historically speaking for Michigan football, which end zone of Michigan Stadium, north or south, has been the site of more classic moments?
North has Desmond's 1991 catch against Notre Dame, Braylonfest, Mercury Hayes against Virginia, and many others I forget.
South has Carter's touchdown against Indiana in 1979, Desmond's punt return against Ohio State in 1991, Woodson's punt return against Ohio State in 1997, Manningham against Penn State in 2005, Matthews against Notre Dame in 2009, and many others.
So, what say you, what case do you make, if you were compelled to choose, north or south?

Entry Deadline
August 1, 2016
June 1, 2015, to May 31, 2016
View the qualifying points.
Please be aware that new this year, 70% of the entry fee will go to the prize money to pay back, while 30% will go to awards and administration costs.
Events that cross over the end qualifying date -- Keep in mind AQHA-approved events which end prior to or on May 31, 2016 will count towards the 2016 Adequan Select World Show. If an event crosses over the end qualifying date and has a show end date of June 1, 2016 (or later) - that show's points will count towards the 2017 Adequan Select World Show. For example: A show's dates are recorded with AQHA as May 30 - 31, 2016, the points will count towards the 2016 show; however, if the dates are recorded as May 31 - June 1, 2016 (or later) the points will count towards the 2017 show.
Performance Halter
Any horse to be shown in performance halter at the 2016 Select World Show must have earned a performance ROM during the qualifying period (June 1, 2015 thru May 31, 2016), or if earned prior to the qualifying period, must have earned at least ten riding points during the qualifying period. These points can be in open, amateur or youth classes and they can add up to make the ten points, but ABSOLUTELY NO horse can compete in a performance halter class without having earned the performance ROM or the ten riding points during the qualifying period. Remember that showmanship points DO NOT count, nor do Level 1 amateur or youth points or points earned at Introductory shows. However, Level 1 (Green) points earned in the Open Division will count.
Select halter competitors (not including performance halter) can earn an invitation to the 2016 Select World Show by competing in ten shows in a halter class. Shows will be counted by show numbers on a one-horse/one-exhibitor basis.
State Invites: For the 2016 Select World Show, the amateur/horse combination will be required to reach at least half the points set as the minimum to qualify in order to be invited as an affiliate/state invitee in each particular class (for example: if the minimum number of points set to qualify for Select Amateur Aged Mares is 9.5, the invitee must have reached at least 4.5 points in order to be invited - note that if a class requires points that include .5 point, AQHA will round down and require half of THAT number). This program is operated by AQHA, not the affiliate, and exhibitors are invited based on the state in which they reside, not where they show. Once the qualifiers are run (around June 20th), AQHA will run the list of those that were top in their class but didn't qualify. Those invitations will be sent out around July 1. If the first place horse/exhibitor is tied, all of those ties for first will be invited. AQHA will not go below the first place points even if the first place duo will not be attending.
International World Show Lease
Level 2 Championship Classes
Based on the success of the inaugural Level 2 championships in the amateur and open divisions, additional opportunities will be added in 2016 and 2017 for Select and youth exhibitors. Learn more about the new Level 2 championships for Select exhibitors.
Excuse our mess! The official Adequan Select AQHA World Championship Show website is coming soon!

Food & Drink
Esencia is located in the Melia Salinas 5 star hotel in Costa Teguise, and is open to both people staying there and those who are not. We'd heard that they offered a special experience with excellent food, so we decided to treat ourselves, with friends, to a meal there to see for ourselves.
To access Esencia you need to walk through reception and toward the swimming pools, and if you then turn right, you will see the restaurant ahead of you. The building is very much like a traditional Canarian house, with an inside eating area as well as a large terrace which looks out over the beach. The ambience is lovely on a hot summer evening.
We had booked online through their website, and had received a total of 4 confirmations by email! When we arrived, however, the waitress didn't seem to be expecting us, but as there was only one other person in the restaurant, we were able to choose the table we preferred on the terrace. read more »
We're often asked by tourists for our restaurant recommendations, as far as our research and local knowledge goes, these are the restaurants in Lanzarote where you can enjoy a fabulous steak.
Puerto del Carmen
Restaurante Toro
A choice of different steaks including rib eye, t-bone and entrecote cooked over a wood fired grill. Situated on the roundabout between Puerto del Carmen and Puerto Calero.
Restaurante Don Rafael Barbacoa Grill
Situated in the centre of Puerto del Carmen, just set back off the main strip on Calle Doramas, Don Rafael is known for their fantastic fillet steak and 3 pepper sauce.
Restaurant Grill La Cascada Puerto
You only have to walk past this restaurant to know they have fabulous meat, as it's proudly displayed at the entrance. Situated on Calle Roque Nublo in the old town area of Puerto del Carmen. Chateubriand and entrecot de cebón are listed on their house specials. read more »
Amura in Puerto Calero has always been known for their fine dining experience. But they have recently introduced a new tapas menu, so that people can enjoy the very best in Tapas in Amura's luxurious surroundings overlooking the marina in Puerto Calero.
Amura is recommended in both the Respol Guide and also as a "Big Gourmand" location in the Michelin Guide. read more »
Luis Léon, who is the chef at Toro Restaurante in Puerto del Carmen has achieved another award to add to his growing collection. He has been named in Binter Magazine as one of the top 12 chefs in the islands.
Toro started five years ago, and Léon's cuisine has justifiably become famous for using the very best ingredients - meats that have hung for more than 70 days, the vey best Spanish meat from acorn fed black pigs, and plenty of local ingredients, including wild rabbit.
I can't believe Mercado Diecisiete has been open for more than a year now and it's our first time of eating there, time passes so quickly.
This restaurant is situated in Pueblo Marinero, the popular square in the heart of Costa Teguise. The square was buzzing, it was Friday night and the bars with outside tables were packed, we arrived at Mercado Diecisiete and was surprised to find it quiet, we received a friendly welcome and were offered a table of our choice.
We were only planning on a main meal but was persuaded to have a little starter to share with our bottle of wine, the bread with tomato and Iberian ham was just right. read more »
It was thanks to our foodie friends Benn & Zoe that we discovered the Cevicheria La Esquina Maria in Famara.
This Peruvian cafe bar is situated on the seafront row of properties in the village of Caleta de Famara, whilst El Risco and Sol in the same line face out to sea, this establishment faces inwards. There's something very relaxing about sitting at a table feeling the sand beneath your toes, plus you can't beat the laid back atmosphere in Famara.
It was Sunday lunch so we ordered a Pisco Sour cocktail whilst we browsed the menu. This was our first taste of Peruvian food and we didn't recognise the dishes, luckily there was a picture menu and our waiter was extremely friendly and helpful. read more »
I had been following with excitement this new brewery in the island since I read about them in the press over a year ago. And when they opened up earlier this year, I went to check them up. Malpeis Brewery is in Calle Malagueña in Tinajo, literally behind the Police Station.
For a 5€ fee you get a tour of the quaint little brewery and a generous sample of their 3 different beers with some nibbles that I must admit were exquisitely chosen. Additional bottles to enjoy your favourite are available for sale too! A bit of advice: designate a driver prior to starting the tasting, or even better, make the most of your visit and book some rural accommodation to stay the night.
I caught up with Tania Delgado to learn a bit more about the Malpeis Brewery.
Who is behind Malpeis?
Behind this project there is read more »
We had a few appointments in the capital yesterday and decided to have an impromptu lunch in the Charco de San Ginés area of Arrecife. There's a lovely selection of restaurants in this picturesque area of Lanzarote's capital, we'd heard good things about Divina Italia, so decided to visit their Pizzeria and Italian Restaurant.
Many of the tables on the terrace were already occupied, there was a mixture of Spanish and British residents lunching as well as tourists. The food coming out of the kitchen looked fabulous, we decided to share the house salad (Ensalada Divina) and a spicy Pizza Vesubio. There were plenty of friendly waiters on hand, their language skills were being tested by the variety of nationalities who had been drawn to the restaurant for lunch. read more »

From Publishers Weekly
Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
—Alice Walker
While reporting for the Oprah Show , I called the Democratic Republic of the Congo the worst place on earth.' When Lisa Shannon saw my report, rather than turn her back, she took it on. Her commitment to the victims of one of the world's greatest tragedies exemplifies the best in humanity. Her powerful story is an inspiration to all of those who think their voice is too small to change lives."
—Lisa Ling, journalist
"Congo is usually portrayed as hopeless and its women as victims. Lisa Shannon shines a spotlight on the hope that emanates so stubbornly from this complex country, primarily through her loving portrayal of her Congolese sisters. Instead of victims, these women are determined survivors, three-dimensional human beings who deserve our respect and solidarity."
—John Prendergast, co-founder of The Enough Project, and co-author of Not On Our Watch with Don Cheadle
As global consumers we all share some responsibility for the tragedy in the Congo. Lisa Shannon's riveting, personal narrative lays bare the human cost of that relationship, through a personal journey like no other into the heart of the Congo."
—Robin Wright, actress and activist
I wish that every woman and man in America were as stirred to outrage and action as Lisa Shannon by what is happening in today's Congo. In her heartfelt and very personal way, she shines some light on a place of great suffering that the world has too long ignored."
—Adam Hochschild, author, iKing Leopold's Ghost and iBury the Chains

- Hi, I'm Chad Perkins and welcome to Premiere Pro CS5 Essential Training. In this course we're not only going to learn how to edit video using Premiere Pro CS5, but we're also going to learn how to use video to tell compelling stories. We're going to begin by looking at the entire Premiere Pro workflow from a high level to give you an understanding about how a project works. Then we'll talk about how to use editing techniques to tell a story. We'll look at how to adjust clips as well. Everything from color correcting scenes for more dramatic impact to applying transitions effectively to slowing down and speeding up clip playback.
We'll also learn how to make titles and how to remove a green screen background from a shot. Whether you've been editing for years or are brand new to the art this course is for you. So let's get started with Premiere Pro CS5 Essential Training.

Max Boot tries to look at Iraq empirically, as I did earlier today. He isolates three indicators: casualties, nation-building, and abuses. (I did not consider abuses because I don't think they have much to do with our progress or lack thereof and because I don't know how one would measure this objectively). Boot thinks things are not going badly on these three fronts, and that the panic about our progress results from the fact that "we have been spoiled by the seemingly easy, apparently bloodless victories of the last decade. From the Persian Gulf War of 1991 to the Afghanistan war of 2001."
Meanwhile, Arthur Chrenkoff provides valuable analysis and links regarding the progress of the reconstruction on many fronts. This is some of the best stuff I've seen on the subject. Scroll down and read the whole thing. Hat tip to Instapundit.

BASEBALL; Knoblauch Must Hit To Remain A Yankee
By BUSTER OLNEY
Published: July 12, 2001
George Steinbrenner, the Yankees' principal owner, does not second-guess the rationale behind the 1998 trade for Chuck Knoblauch, because the team has won the World Series in every year Knoblauch has been with the team. ''And how can you question that?'' Steinbrenner asked, rhetorically.
But Knoblauch is in a terrible slump that has lasted more than two months, and Steinbrenner noted that two of the players traded to the Minnesota Twins for Knoblauch were members of this year's American League All-Star team -- shortstop Cristian Guzman and pitcher Eric Milton. ''You turn on the TV and there are two kids at the All-Star Game we traded for him, and he's sitting at home with a lousy average and on-base percentage,'' Steinbrenner said yesterday.
Knoblauch's production before the July 31 trade deadline may well determine whether he finishes this season with the Yankees. The Yankees came very close to trading Knoblauch to Seattle two weeks ago for pitcher Brett Tomko and outfielder Al Martin -- Steinbrenner is said to be among the few club officials who were against making the deal -- and if Knoblauch does not start hitting before David Justice comes off the disabled list in the next few weeks, the Yankees will very likely decide to trade Knoblauch.
Throughout the worst of Knoblauch's throwing problems in 1999 and 2000, Manager Joe Torre kept playing Knoblauch because of the impact he had on the offense as a dynamic leadoff hitter.
But Knoblauch has a .284 on-base percentage since April 28 -- he has not drawn a first-inning walk in more than a month -- and his hitting mechanics appear badly fouled, with his front shoulder flying open, often producing harmless fly balls. Knoblauch's value to the Yankees' attack has been negligible, particularly because he has mostly started in left field, typically a position manned by good offensive players.
''He's not doing what we expect him to do or what we want him to do,'' Steinbrenner said. ''He's got to get on base for us. I don't think he's done that to his satisfaction or to ours, and I don't think Joe is satisfied, either. He's got to give us that on-base percentage. He's got to get untracked, and he's got to understand that. He's got the stolen bases, but there's more to it than that.''
Justice is recovering from a strained groin and his return would give the Yankees a glut of outfielders. Justice, Bernie Williams and Paul O'Neill will all be able to play regularly, and whether Knoblauch or Shane Spencer plays may depend largely on how Knoblauch performs in the coming days.

Computer problem
2001 Honda Accord 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 105000 miles
I had a check engine light on. The dealer asked me to replace timing belt, spark plugs and some other stuff called " vacuum --" resulting in about $2000.
The light has come back on again. I bought a diagnostic code scanner to do a check myself. Dealer needs $75 for every check.
I am trying to find where the computer hookup is located in 2001 Honda Accord EX V6.

Jays trade Stewart for outfielder Kielty
Updated: July 17, 2003, 1:23 PM ETAssociated Press
MINNEAPOLIS -- The slumping Minnesota Twins are looking for a spark to jump start the second half of the season. They hope outfielder Shannon Stewart can provide it.
The Twins acquired Stewart and a player to be named from the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday for outfielder Bobby Kielty.
Bobby Kielty can boost his fantasy value simply by doing what he was already doing. He'll have to battle for playing time in Toronto with Reed Johnson and Frank Catalanotto -- ...
