Weekly Reports
A detailed Portfolio Report was e-mailed to my subscribers every week. The report was an audit of all the stocks that were selected and e-mailed to my subscribers. The report kept me honest by making it impossible to lie about the returns that I reported, AND it provided my subscribers with a record to which they could refer.
The Portfolio Reports were available only to Subscribers, but the essays and notes below are some of the More Memorable Cover Pages of the weekly reports that were sent to subscribers. Normally the cover page contained only a few comments, but the cover pages below inspired some interesting responses from readers.

May 7, 2010 Report Cover LetterGreetings,
This week was one of the strangest weeks I've seen. Yesterday (Thursday), one of the picks Doug recommended was PPCO. On Thursday PPCO traded between zero and 3.50. I could not believe my eyes when I saw that price range on Yahoo, so I checked the range on Ameritrade's site. Sure enough, the low for PPCO on Ameritrade's website was $0.0001 on Thursday. That means, for one split second yesterday, a company that now has a market cap of over $100 Million, had a total value of less than $4,000
Strangely, Yahoo's historical quotes now show that PPCO traded at 3.45 to 3.50 on Thursday.
Alice in Wonderland: "I wonder if I've been changed in the night? Let me think. Was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I'm not the same, the next question is 'Who in the world am I?' Ah, that's the great puzzle!"
The Cat: "We're all mad here."

Return to Index
April 9, 2010 Report Cover
I updated the "Return History" and "Return Variability" pages of the attached report. I changed some things that I will let you discover yourselves. Feedback, negative or positive is always appreciated.
The WEIMERandWIRTH model portfolio purchased BBEP on March 13, 2009 and sold it on July 31, 2009 for a 33% profit. If you purchased BBEP, then you purchased BreitBurn Energy Partners L.P. (NASDAQ: BBEP), which is a Publicly Traded Partnership (PTP) aka a Limited Partnership (LP). I believe BBEP is the only PTP that was held during 2009 by WW.
The sale must be reported to the IRS if it was purchased in a
taxable account, but there are additional reporting requirements.
1. If you purchased a Publicly Traded Partnership, then you have received, or will receive, IRS Schedule K-1. Note that even though you have probably received this form during March, you may receive this form as late as April 15. Regardless, you are required to incorporate this information into your tax return if you purchased it in a taxable account.
The K-1 tax information is available on the partnership's website. That info can be downloaded and imported into TurboTax. There may be changes to your tax liability, especially if you have a great deal of business income and business deductions. I believe that TurboTax handles everything after the K-1 info is imported, but if anyone experienced problems, then please let me know; I will pass on that info.
2. If you sold your publicly traded shares, your broker may not have reported the sale to the partnership because I believe brokers are not required to report sales to PTPs. IMPORTANT: If you are an eligible owner and if you do not report the sale of your publicly traded shares to the partnership, then the partnership may assume you still own them and report your ownership to the IRS. Forever and ever after…
Note that eligible owners are all owners who purchased shares of a PTP in a taxable account, C Corps, IRAs, and Keogh Plans. You can report the sale on-line at the PTP's website. Click on the K-1 support icon. If you have any questions, the PTPs normally supply a toll free number on their websites.
3. If you purchased these shares in an IRA, then you probably don't have to report anything to the IRS, but there may be some obscure reporting requirements. This confused me, but all the friendly folks at the IRS I spoke with were confused too. For whatever it's worth, the WW portfolio sold a PTP in 2007 too. All the folks I know who held this in an IRA did NOT report anything to the IRS. As far as I know, there were no IRS repercussions.
After this cover letter was disseminated, I
learned something new about Publicly Traded Partnerships from one of
our members who is a CPA. He wishes to remain anonymous because he
is overwhelmed with clients and work, but all the info that follows
is from him.
"Partnerships, whether they are PTPs or LPs, can be a problem even for IRAs, employer retirement plans, and tax-exempt entities. For most IRAs it is not likely to be an issue, but you never know. My WW investments are in a Roth 401(k). I detected fairly quickly that BBEP was a partnership, and so I bailed immediately. Unfortunately, I missed the nice 33% run up.
IRAs, etc., are taxed on UBTI (unrelated business taxable income) if it exceeds $1,000 for the year. The $1,000 limit is not per investment, but total UBTI for the year from all sources. Partnership income is the typical source of UBTI for retirement plans, but it can also come from debt-financed income (usually margin accounts).
As long as no debt-financed income is involved, the partnership K-1 income is UBTI, and sometimes a portion of the gain from later selling the partnership units is UBTI. If there is debt-financed income, then even more of the gain from selling the units is UBTI. It is possible to get whipsawed by these investments in that they can generate a substantial K-1 income, but no change in market value, or even worse, a loss in the value of the units. An IRA would end up paying tax on phantom income, and getting no deduction for the capital loss. "
Because of this new info, Doug and I will double our efforts to ID these things and NOT disseminate them in the future.
There is a great deal more I'd like to write about a government that
encourages PTPs, but I do not want to find myself in a secret prison
in Afghanistan or Eastern Europe, so I will restrain my fingers.
WW set new YTD highs every day this week thru Thursday, but lost about 1/2% today (Friday), while every other index gained. Very strange. WW is still outperforming the S&P 500 and the NASDAQ 100 by substantial margins, YTD and QTD, but the Small and Micro Cap indices are both outperforming us by slight margins this quarter, thanks to our loss today.

March 5, 2010 Report Cover Letter
Doug has been sharing the picks and I have been maintaining the report since June 30, 2001. It was bound to happen sooner or later, but last week we had our first known complaint.
The complaint was
made by a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) who also holds a PhD in
Here's what he wrote:
1. "I am sorry to say, that your statistics prove absolutely nothing."
2. "Your trades are often impossible to do because of thin markets."
3. "I don't know how your clients do, due to high volatility and wide spreads."
4. "Nevertheless I find your info useful."
And here are my responses:
1. "I am sorry to say, that your statistics prove absolutely nothing."
My response:
Doug and I disseminate financial information, NOT statistics. Financial information almost never proves anything other than X was greater than Y yesterday. That means there is no guarantee that X will be greater than Y tomorrow. By now, any investor who is not aware of that FACT is probably beyond learning anything.
The best you can hope for with financial information is that the winning trend that has been identified, will continue to win in the future. If valid financial statistics existed, do you really believe the financial world would have come as close to collapse as it did?
2. "Your trades are often impossible to do because of thin markets."
My response:
Impossible? Absolutely not, because I use the average of the daily HI-LO price. That means that trades have been executed at the prices I use. And it means that many more trades have been executed at more favorable prices than the prices I use.
However, I will admit that sometimes it will be frustratingly difficult to execute at the average HI-LO of the day. All of this is explained in excruciating detail on the "Portfolio Rules" page of the attached report i.e., the report e-mailed to subscribers every week.
If this were as easy as watching a football game or chowing down junk food, then everyone would be rich, and that is clearly impossible. I believe that successful trading requires discipline and intestinal fortitude, and I also believe that you are either going to get reasonably good at this game or you are probably going to quit.
3. "I don't know how your clients do, due to high volatility and wide spreads."
My response:
Every six months, Doug asks all subscribers for their performance data. About 25% to 30% of you respond. I believe that anyone who has been diligently attempting to execute the recommended trades has come reasonably close to the returns that I report, and some of you have been exceeding those reported returns.
At this point Doug and I have 53 paying subscribers i.e., we are clearly not getting rich by maintaining our newsletter. That means that WEIMERandWIRTH is a newsletter that Doug and I edit in order to help keep our brain synapses firing, but there is very little reason to misrepresent anything.
4. "Nevertheless I find your info useful."
My response:
Be still my heart!
Doug and I hope that all of you find our info useful.
The S&P 500 and the NASDAQ 100 (QQQQ) both finally made it into positive territory this week. The good news is that WW is beating both soundly. The bad news is that WW is barely beating its nemesis. More on this next week unless something better comes up.

February 26, 2010 Report Cover Letter
Does WEIMERandWIRTH's frequent trading really add value?
Last week I answered that it depends on the market, but this week I will attempt a comprehensive explanation.
During the bear market of 2008, WW's frequent trading added virtually no value to a WW portfolio frozen at the end of 2007. The actual WW Portfolio lost 41.4%; the frozen portfolio lost 42.6%.
During the bull market of 2009, WW's frequent trading more than doubled the return of a frozen 2008 WW portfolio (68.9% vs. 28.9%).
And, during the first eight see-sawing weeks of 2010, WW's frequent trading added arguable value to a frozen 2009 WW portfolio, but the year is still young. The actual WW Portfolio is worth about 2% to 3% more than the frozen portfolio. Irrational exuberance is WW's best friend, but there has been very little evidence of any exuberance lately.
How can this information be used?
This information is extremely liberating. Years ago, when I was still productively employed, my stock market junkie colleagues and I would speculate that frequent trading during a bear market would add value to a growth and momentum portfolio. I now know, beyond any reasonable doubt, that this is simply not true. This information is liberating because if you do not expect WW's frequent trading to add value during a bear market, you will not be disappointed.
I also spent a great deal of time attempting to optimize the sale date. I suspected it was also dependent on the market, but until I finally got around to writing code to extract market dependent data, I simply wasn't reasonably sure about it. I now also know, beyond any reasonable doubt, that one is on a fool's errand if one attempts to optimize the sale day without considering market conditions. That is a huge breakthrough. This information frees you from worrying about optimizing the sale date i.e., you can be confident that, on average, the older picks will return more than cash if (BIG IF) future returns are similar to the returns of the past sixty years.
The bottom line is that during the past sixty years, the market had positive returns about 75% of the time. If the future is similar to the past (BIG IF again), that means that WW will probably outperform about 75% of the time, sometimes by huge margins. During the remaining 25% of the time, WW will probably do no worse than an appropriate index.
We'll see…
This week ended almost where it started. It could be worse.

December 11, 2009 Report Cover Letter
Everyone knows there are huge differences between Japan and the US,
but there may also be many similarities: The Japanese economy
crashed in 1989 because of unsustainable stock market and real
estate bubbles. From the crash in 1989 thru Dec. 7, 2009 the large
cap NIKKEI 225 lost about 75% of its value. Real estate values also
remain in the doldrums.
Does a similar fate await US investors? We're gonna have to wait another ten or so years before that question can be answered, but in the meantime it may be worthwhile examining the returns of Japanese Large Caps and Japanese Small Caps because the conventional wisdom proclaims there are huge performance differences.
The Russell/Nomura Small Cap Index contains the bottom 15% of the Russell/Nomura Total Market Index in terms of market capitalization, but very little historical data are available. However, DFA has been managing a small cap Japanese fund since August 1993. I will use the return data of that fund as a proxy for the index because I know of no other source that has longer term values for small cap Japanese stocks.
Without further ado, here's a chart of the NIKKEI vs. the DFA Japanese Small Cap Stock Fund (Ticker DFJSX). Both the small cap fund and the NIKKEI 225 have been equilibrated to start at 100. All values have been adjusted for dividends and distributions. I have chosen to show ten years of performance data beginning with December 31, 1999 because that was about ten years after the Japanese bubbles burst, and that's about where the US is right now, but remember: Timing is everything.
The chart shows that Japanese Small Caps outperformed Japanese Large Caps by substantial margins over the last ten years. Our future may or may not resemble the chart above, but the data are interesting.
WW is unfortunately still trailing the big indices by uncomfortable margins QTD. We are slightly behind the small cap index, but we out-performing the micro cap index by a substantial amount.

October 30, 2009 Report Cover Letter
I got the message below from The October 17th Economist
The Rationalizer should help you keep a cool head while you're buying and selling:
ABN AMRO, a Dutch bank with intimate experience involving rash decision making sponsored the development of emotion sensing systems after research showed that traders who exhibit more intense emotional reactions to monetary gain or loss also have significantly worse trading results.
The Rationalizer, which is still under development, measures emotional arousal and displays it as a moving light pattern. A cool head will generate a mellow yellow display, but if it reaches a deep red, it's time to take a break and cool down.
The losses during the last two weeks wiped out about two months of gains for WW and the indices, but the good news is that October, which is considered a dangerous month for traders and speculators, is behind us. The other dangerous months are July, January, September, April, November, May, March, June, December, August, and February, but not necessarily in that order.

The chart above shows a typical business cycle and the points at which various economic sectors tend to outperform the broader market. Source: Standard and Poor's, based on a study analyzing the differences in market returns of 90 Industries vs. the S&P 500 during 10 complete economic cycles from December 1945 - December 1995.
I do not believe this information can be used to optimize the return of a WW portfolio, but I can tell you that the financial sector of the WW portfolio is returning about four times as much as the rest of the portfolio. The chart above is especially valuable because it shows that the stock market cycle has historically preceded the economic cycle. Note that the historical data show that if the economy is in the middle of a recovery, then the stock market has already peaked.
How many times have you heard this?
"I'm not gonna get in until I'm sure it's safe."
Good Luck!

April 24, 2009 Report Cover Letter
The April 4TH-10TH issue of The Economist had a 14-page Special Report on the "Rise and Fall of the Wealthy". Last week I wrote about the reversal of real estate prices over the past year.
This week the topic will be: Who rates as rich and who handles the fortunes of the rich?
Merrill Lynch's wealth-management report rates you as "rich" if you have $1 Million in investable assets.
According to
The Economist and
the May 2009
Monthly, many wealth managers will not bother with
anyone who has less than $10 Million.
Regardless, the real question is: What have highly compensated wealth managers done for their clients during the global financial crisis? The answer is: They have not earned their fees because, proportionately, the rich lost about as much as the average investor AND, there is no evidence they earn more during the good times than the average investor.
Boston Consulting Group (BCG) reports that a great deal of private banking benefits the bank more than the client. Often bankers will be rewarded not just on the basis of assets under management, but on product sales that seldom benefit the client.
The rich have become disillusioned with the people who look after their fortunes. Surveys show that nobody believes anything advisors are saying anymore, so 85% have made advisory changes. Law firms report that half their wealthy clients do not use private wealth management services at all, and the half that do are dissatisfied with the advice they receive. The primary reason for opting to stay with an advisor is not satisfaction with the advisor, but fear that they would not be better served elsewhere.
Like everyone else, rich people want the impossible: high returns with no risk. But their biggest fear, naturally enough, is losing a chunk of their wealth so large that they would have to adjust their lifestyle. Sound familiar? This fear created a 64% increase in demand for gold bullion. Normally gold bullion is purchased through the derivatives market, but many purchasers demanded physical delivery during 2007 and 2008. For the next year or two, investors will probably be much more cautious.
The bottom line is that the wealth management industry generally promises a great deal more than it delivers, but the wealth management industry will probably continue to thrive as long as there are people who want the impossible: high returns with no risk.
So far, it has been a good quarter, but my perma-bear idol, Alan Abelson is warning his followers to be prepared for more bad news from the bourses. According to Alan, the only reason for this rally is a total denial of all the bad economic news. The good news is that all perma-bears are wrong more frequently than they're right, but I agree that it's not a bad idea to be prepared.

February 27, 2009 Report Cover Letter
This week, on February 25, Jeremy J. Siegel, the esteemed Wharton professor who wrote Stocks for the Long Run, wrote an op-ed piece that was published in The Wall Street Journal titled The S&P Gets Its Earnings Wrong. He wrote that Standard and Poor's (and most other index providers) calculate "aggregate" earnings and P/E ratios for their indexes in a bizarre way that makes stocks appear far more expensive than they really are i.e., "Stocks are cheaper than they look."
S&P wrote, "Quite obviously, Professor Siegel's op-ed is flawed. Rest assured that S&P firmly stands behind its earnings calculations, and you can expect to see a published rebuttal shortly."
The blogosphere has been having fun with this. It's gonna be interesting to see whose reputation suffers most after the dust settles.
In the meantime: Is the good professor right? Has Standard and Poor's really been bizarrely miscalculating earnings since 1957? In order to be able to answer that question, it is necessary to know how S&P calculates its earnings, and it is necessary to know how the good professor claims earnings should be calculated. This is gonna take a little time, but I believe the explanation is worth whatever time and effort it takes.
The S&P 500 is a capitalization weighted index, meaning stocks that have larger caps have a greater impact on the value of the index. However, earnings and losses are simply added together, without regarding the size of the company.
For example, let's create a new index called the BS index
The index will only have two component companies: B and S
B is a BIG company, and S is a small company (Gotcha, didn't I?)
If company B earned ten million dollars and company S lost ten million dollars, how much did the BS index earn?
According to S&P's methodology, the index earned nothing because the gain of B was cancelled by the loss of S
According to Jeremy J. Siegel, the reported earnings should be dependent on the size of the company i.e., a larger company's earnings should have more of an impact than a smaller company's earnings. Since the losers are likely to be small companies, their losses should have very little impact on the earnings of the index.
At first blush, this appears to be bizarrely illogical: 10 minus 10 equals 0
10 minus 10 does NOT equal 10, or 9, or anything else but 0
But could it?
Yes it could!
Remember, when you buy stocks, it is FUTURE earnings that are important.
In a capitalistic system, small companies that lose money will either earn money in the future or they will disappear, unless they are given taxpayer money by politicians who are more worried about disappearing themselves. Large companies that make money will probably (arguably) get larger and make more money.
So, in the future, the aggregate earnings of B and S are highly likely to be 11 minus 0 because S will either have disappeared, or (better) it will have reinvented itself as a company that doesn't lose money.
I have just given you a compelling reason to completely disregard all losses. Don't you feel much better about the Global Financial Crisis? I am now prepared to teach a seminar on Creative Finance so that one can learn how to use knowledge and imagination to make 1 + 1 = 1,000

Global stock markets are currently about $30 Trillion below their peak. Here's a summary of major market losses, including dividends, during 2008: br />
US large caps lost 37.0%
US Small Caps lost 36.1%
US Micro Caps lost 33.8% (excl dividends)
Developed Europe lost 44.7%
The Developed Pacific lost 34.4%
Emerging Markets lost 52.8%
Last year the S&P 500, including dividends, lost 37.0%; it was the worst year in the history of the S&P 500. The second worst year was 1974, during which the index, including dividends, lost 24.3%. The good news is that the S&P 500, including dividends, gained 34.7% in the following year. Let us all hope there is a corresponding gain during 2009, but be emotionally and financially prepared for more bad news and further declines.
You may be interested in Warren Buffett's opinion:
(Is the Oracle of Omaha a "Buy & Hold" investor OR is he really a Market Timer?)
New York Times, October 17, 2008
The financial world is a mess, both in
the United States and abroad. Its problems, moreover, have been
leaking into the general economy, and the leaks are now turning into
a gusher. In the near term, unemployment will rise, business
activity will falter and headlines will continue to be scary.
So ... I've been buying American stocks. This is my personal account I'm talking about, in which I previously owned nothing but United States government bonds. (This description leaves aside my Berkshire Hathaway holdings, which are all committed to philanthropy.) If prices keep looking attractive, my non-Berkshire net worth will soon be 100 percent in United States equities. (This sounds a lot like Market Timing to Henry Wirth. Regardless of what it's called, it is definitely NOT "Buy and Hold Forever".)
A simple rule dictates my buying: Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful. And most certainly, fear is now widespread, gripping even seasoned investors. To be sure, investors are right to be wary of highly leveraged entities or businesses in weak competitive positions. But fears regarding the long-term prosperity of the nation's many sound companies make no sense. These businesses will indeed suffer earnings hiccups, as they always have. But most major companies will be setting new profit records 5, 10 and 20 years from now.
Let me be clear on one point: I can't predict the short-term movements of the stock market. I haven't the faintest idea as to whether stocks will be higher or lower a month — or a year — from now. What is likely, however, is that the market will move higher, perhaps substantially so, well before either sentiment or the economy turns up. So if you wait for the robins, spring will be over.
A little history here: During the Depression, the Dow hit its low, 41, on July 8, 1932. Economic conditions, though, kept deteriorating until Franklin D. Roosevelt took office in March 1933. By that time, the market had already advanced 30 percent. Or think back to the early days of World War II, when things were going badly for the United States in Europe and the Pacific. The market hit bottom in April 1942, well before Allied fortunes turned. Again, in the early 1980s, the time to buy stocks was when inflation raged and the economy was in the tank. In short, bad news is an investor's best friend. It lets you buy a slice of America's future at a marked-down price.
Over the long term, the stock market news will be good. In the 20th century, the United States endured two world wars and other traumatic and expensive military conflicts; the Depression; a dozen or so recessions and financial panics; oil shocks; a flu epidemic; and the resignation of a disgraced president. Yet the Dow rose from 66 to 11,497. You might think it would have been impossible for an investor to lose money during a century marked by such an extraordinary gain. But some investors did. The hapless ones bought stocks only when they felt comfort in doing so and then proceeded to sell when the headlines made them queasy.
Today people who hold cash equivalents feel comfortable. They shouldn't. They have opted for a terrible long-term asset, one that pays virtually nothing and is certain to depreciate in value. Indeed, the policies that government will follow in its efforts to alleviate the current crisis will probably prove inflationary and therefore accelerate declines in the real value of cash accounts.
Equities will almost certainly outperform cash over the next decade, probably by a substantial degree. Those investors who cling now to cash are betting they can efficiently time their move away from it later. In waiting for the comfort of good news, they are ignoring Wayne Gretzky's advice: "I skate to where the puck is going to be, not to where it has been."
I don't like to opine on the stock market, and again I emphasize that I have no idea what the market will do in the short term. Nevertheless, I'll follow the lead of a restaurant that opened in an empty bank building and then advertised: "Put your mouth where your money was." Today my money and my mouth both say equities.
Warren Buffett is the chief executive of Berkshire Hathaway, a diversified holding company.
The legendary Warren Buffet appears to be recommending a US stock
allocation of 100%. My stock valuation model shows that the S&P 500
is more undervalued now than it has ever been relative to US
government bonds, but 100% is a bit too much for me: I'm
recommending 75% for stocks, which is as high as I would ever go.
Perhaps that explains why I'm not legendary. Regardless, for a more
comprehensive explanation, see the asset allocation page on
HenryWirth.com and follow the links.
I wish I could tell you that WEIMERandWIRTH lost less than the indices, but obviously, we did not. However, if WW can continue to outperform on the way up, then the rewards will be well worth the effort.

Here are my thoughts on the market: ARGHH… …
This week I am going to take your mind off the market by giving you an economic analysis of the world's oldest profession.
The annual meeting of the American Economic Association convened in New Orleans this month and it was part of a huge gathering of social scientists sprawled across the city. One of the more popular symposiums was one devoted to the market for paid sex, conducted by Steven Levitt of the University of Chicago and Sudhir Venkatesh of Columbia University. The results are fascinating:
The risk of legal action is low: Prostitutes are far more likely to have sex with a police officer than they are to be arrested by one.
Pricing strategies are much like any other business. Fees vary with the services provided, but attractive prostitutes are unable to command higher fees. Sex workers receive $25-30 per hour, roughly four times what they could expect to receive outside prostitution. During the July 4th celebration around Washington Park, which was one of the neighborhoods studied, business picked up by around 60%, but prices rose by just 30%. That's because women who were not regular prostitutes were prepared to work for the higher wages temporarily on offer.
It's an obviously dangerous job. Sex without a condom is the norm, so the possibility of disease is high. Sex workers can expect to be violently assaulted once a month. They do better with pimps – They work fewer hours and are less likely to be arrested by the police or preyed on by gang members. Mr. Levitt said that a few prostitutes asked the researchers to introduce them to pimps.
So far this year we have not had too many thing to be thankful for, but aren't you glad you're not a sex worker?

Overcharged and rude staffPosted Jul 15, 2017
So Expedia quoted a price that they insist is the deal with this ghetto hotel yet I was charged $11 more. Even though Expedia called them the dumb hotel staff wouldn't budge and over charged me. Not the best clientele or staff by the way.

Nice inexpensive place to stayPosted Jul 12, 2017
Didn't expect much, being Motel 6, but I was pleasantly surprised. Very nice room for $50. No pool for kids. There was some riff raff hanging in the parking lot when I arrived, but that is no fault of the motel.

You get what you pay forPosted Jul 12, 2017
You definitely get what you pay for. No breakfast, no pool, 2 towels in the bathroom. I had to get another room because the double beds are so small. Wood floors are nice. No stinky carpet. They allow pets so expect barking allllll night. White Castle and Dennys are super close so easy to eat out. Front desk people were super nice! I would stay here for the weekend just to sleep.

Scary things might happen. Not safePosted Jul 3, 2017
We were so tired of baseball games that day. Just before the midnight a big nock in my door which woke us up from deep sleep. Not able understand what's going on and scary. When I asked for question, I got reply saying that he is from front desk. I locked the safety lock and asked for information and also asked his ID. No ID or name tag on his shirt and nothing, he said that, this room suppose to be empty by verifying the papers and said he is owner of that building and checking the list. I have told that my booking through Expedia go and validate. After that he banged every occupant in that floor. I lost my entire sleep that night worrying about that stupid. I called front desk to check about that person, they confirmed that he is the owner of that motel and not sure why he is doing it. Looks like he don't trust his staff members and records. Looks like he can bother customer anytime he can because it is real corporate of Motel6. Staying in this motel is nightmare. I SAY HELL NO TO TO THIS PLACE.

Nice hotel in a good locationPosted Jul 3, 2017
Rooms newly renovated and clean. Perfect for a weekendstay
by Lea from Saint Louis
pay in advancePosted Jan 15, 2016 on Hotels
My stay here was unexpected, but I'm happy that this one location let's you check in at any time unlike the motel 6 airport location. Front desk was fine. The room had only one towel in it which was the floor towel. I asked for towels before housekeeping arrived and didn't receive any the whole day. My bed had only 2 thin sheets ( the bed is supposed to have a fleece cover in between for some warmth) but was missing from both beds. The bed was still comfortable. I had a guest briefly that mentioned the loud pot smell the hall, but I didn't notice it. My price was different than hotels.com said when I went to check in (pay at the hotel) and I had to pay the extra. Contacted hotels.com and they were good for nothing and couldn't fix the guaranteed price.
by David from Missouri
OK room, checkin challengedPosted Jan 11, 2016 on Hotels
The room was fine, carpeted, clean, smelled fine. Sufficient towels, pillows, decent lighting. A good place to land for the night, across the street from Denny's. The hotel's check-in electronics were down, could not check in when we arrived. They were even turning prepaid reservations away. We were in the parking lot, deciding where else to go, when the office lady tapped on our window to say we could try it now, they had located our reservation. Our credit card went through, apparently the first of the night. The desk clerk seemed overtired and confused.

During Gay Pride celebrations last year Google was very visible in its support, with banner-carrying employees attending various events throughout the world including Chicago, San Francisco, Dublin, and Jerusalem. This year it's hard to understand what position Google is taking given the way they are displaying the rainbow symbol of the LGBT community, including searches including the words "gay," "lesbian," "bisexual," "transgender," and "LGBT."
Last year the Official Google blog stated "Nearly 300 Googlers marched with colorful balloons down Market Street for San Francisco's 40th annual Pride parade. We braved the rain in Boston, enjoyed the sun in New York, rode a trolley in Chicago and marched with the Israel Gay Youth Organization in Tel Aviv and Haifa. Googlers will be participating in EuroPride, held in Poland this year, as well as many other parades, including Tokyo for the first time. And we'll be celebrating Pride season in Singapore too."
The post went on to explain how Google was extending health benefits to same sex domestic partners and that the tax differences would be covered by the company.
As New York and other states debate the same sex marriage laws being voted on right now, it would appear Google may be stepping back a little with its limited addition of the rainbow as a search Easter egg.
Google, in response, said its support of marriage equality and gay rights has not wavered; it pointed out that it's among the businesses signed up as supporters of "NY Business for Marriage
Last year there was also an outcry when Google chose to run a Doodle of Rosa Parks instead of one for National AIDS Day. Now it seems the addition of the rainbow for certain searches is just not gay enough, as the San Francisco Weekly puts it.
Nicholas Jackson at the Atlantic notes "This criticism should be tempered. I'm disappointed in Google's decision today, but none of this is meant to demean the company's previous work in support of gay rights, which includes a 90-second contribution to the It Gets Better Project that was televised nationally last month and a 2008 announcement in opposition to California's Proposition 8. I just want the same treatment as Vivaldi, who was properly celebrated even 269 years after his death."
We'll have to wait until later in the week to see if Google banners are seen at various international city Pride parades. The company deserves the benefit of the doubt given their long standing support of the LGBT community and its vocal opposition of Proposition 8 that opposed same sex marriage in California.
Google Response added: June 24th 2pm EST

Tasty Boy/Girl, Sweet Kiss
Well, he/she sees me everyday
But he's/she's always doing important things
Oh, when will I have a chance of getting a piece of?
Mouthwatering goodness
Well, when he's/she's on, on his/her P.E. day
Seeing him/her always turns me on
But when it do ends, it is time for me to write a song
About cakes and cakes
So, this ends a new day.
Looking forward to, "I'd like to meet you"
If this happens, well I'd skip all, everything, all in my list
Boy/Girl owns a taste of some sweetness
Do I need to ask permission?
Could I just stand up there and just looked him/her in the eyes and say,
"can I kiss you in the lips?"
'Cause he's/she's so delicious
Do I really need to? "La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la"
Can I stand up there? "La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la"
Kiss him/her right in the lips?

Gillian Murphy and Ethan Stiefel Tied the Knot!
There's nothing quite like a dancer wedding—especially when the bride and groom are bona fide ballet royalty.
The whole dance world has been in love with ballet dream couple Gillian Murphy and Ethan Stiefel ever since they shared that hand-holding moment in Center Stage. (No, really—the girl Cooper goes off with after snubbing Jody at the stage door? That's Gillian!) The pair got engaged back in 2011, and fans have been eagerly awaiting wedding news ever since.
Naturally, the proposal happened onstage during American Ballet Theatre's Met season. Swoon. (photo by James Whitehill)
Well, the wait was worth it: Murphy and Stiefel got married on Saturday in NYC, and based on the Instagram evidence, the celebration was just as lovely as their performances together onstage.
Naturally, Murphy took class the day before, snazzily attired:
Naturally, she looked like a beautiful fairy princess on the big day itself:
Naturally, bestie (and fellow ABT principal) Stella Abrera was by her side:
Naturally, the guests included lots of other ballet luminaries:
Naturally, Stiefel killed it on the dance floor:
And naturally, the couple had the cutest wedding hashtag ever: #Murfelday.
Congratulations, Gillian and Ethan!
What's more daunting than getting into your dream college dance program? Figuring out how you'll cover the costs of tuition, room and board, incidental expenses and more. Here's the good news: The right scholarship(s) can bring your dream school well within reach.
Look Around, Look Around
Scholarship applications are due between the fall of senior year and graduation time, so familiarize yourself with funding opportunities during the spring of junior year. And there are a lot of opportunities out there, says Kate Walker, chair of dance at Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts in Dallas, TX. "A lot of school guidance counselors now have software that automatically matches you with scholarships," she says.
Seek out scholarships on your own, too. According to Walker, "a lot of corporations are required to have some community engagement, including offering scholarships, so research corporations in your community." Your parents' employers might offer assistance too, says Doug Long, an academic and college counselor at Interlochen Arts Academy in Interlochen, MI. "They might have scholarships you can apply for just because your parent works there."
Other sources of grant money you won't have to pay back (as you would a loan)? The YoungArts Foundation; competitions/conventions, like New York City Dance Alliance; and the university or dance department you're applying to. Even some scholarships aimed at athletes are open to dancers!
Apply Yourself
A winning scholarship application involves a fair amount of paperwork, especially if the organization requires you to show financial need. In addition, certain scholarships ask for the College Board's CSS/Financial Aid Profile, which gives the awarding organization a more complete picture of your family finances.
Other ingredients of a successful scholarship application include recommendation letters, a dance and/or academic resumé and an essay or statement of purpose. Treat these components just like college applications: Have multiple trusted adults proofread your materials, and ask for recommendation letters or transcripts long before deadlines.
A note for non-dance scholarships: Including objective measures of achievement can only help you. "List national recognitions, like YoungArts or other competitions," says Long. "That shows the scholarship committees that people at high levels have acknowledged you as an artist of quality." And don't forget who your audience is. "Especially in writing samples, make sure you paint a vivid picture for your reader," Walker says. "Don't assume they know about all the things—like barre every day—that we as dancers take for granted."
No award amount is too small to be worth your time and effort. As Walker says, "Don't pooh-pooh a couple hundred dollars in award money, because any scholarship is funding that you didn't have yesterday."
A version of this story appeared in the July/August 2017 issue of Dance Spirit with the title "All Aboard the Scholar-ship."
Every ballet dancer knows the time, sweat, and occasional tears the art form demands. But many non-dancers are clueless about just how much work a ballet dancer puts into perfecting his or her dancing. So when the mainstream crowd recognizes our crazy work ethic, we'll accept the round of applause any way it comes—even if it comes via four men in tutus. Yep, we're talking about "The Try Guys Try Ballet" video.
Remember that fabulous old-school clip of dancers tapping in pointe shoes that Tabitha and Napoleon D'umo brought to our attention back in March? As we mentioned then, toe-tap dancing was actually super popular back in the 1920s and 30s—which means there are more videos where that one came from. And because #ToeTapTuesday has a nice ring to it, we thought we'd take this opportunity to introduce you to Dick and Edith Barstow, a toe-tapping brother and sister duo from that era who are nothing short of incredible:
Guess who's back? Back again? The Academy's back! Tell a friend.
After one day at The Academy, the All Stars have successfully taken the Top 100 down to 62. But their work is just getting started: Now they need to keep narrowing the field to a Top 10, ultimately deciding who each will partner with during the live shows.
We've said it before and we'll say it again: New York City Ballet principal Sara Mearns is some SERIOUS #goals. Her strength and power onstage borders on superhuman. But what's extra magical about Mearns is that she really puts in the fitness and cross-training work outside of the rehearsal studio. And she's overcome her fair share of injuries. Which is why she was the perfect source for Vogue's latest ballet fitness story.

Organic Cucumber ingredients: Organic Cucumber
Cucumbers are a very good source of the vitamins C and the mineral molybdenum. They are also a good source of vitamin A, potassium, manganese, folate, dietary fibre and magnesium and contain the important mineral silica. The silica in cucumber is an essential component of healthy connective tissue, which includes muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and bone. Cucumber juice is often recommended as a source of silica to improve the complexion and health of the skin, plus cucumber's high water content makes it naturally hydrating - a must for glowing skin!
Pop in a salad or chop them up and chuck them in some cous cous - they are also one of the most popular finger foods with children. Or re-create a garden party and make some cucumber sandwiches (just make sure the crusts are cut-off if you're planning to impress!)
In Stock
Our whole family loves cucumber. In the summer all too often you go to the fidge and someone has taken the last chunk! A least it is easy to get more from Real Foods. Thanks too for the Pear, Grape and Cucumber Salad recipe - I would never have thought of combining those ingredients but it is now a firm favourite.
Summary: Despite their unpleasant sting, the humble wild nettles are actually tasty and very nutritious: they are high in Iron, Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorous, Zinc, Chromium, B vitamins and trace minerals including Selenium and Manganese ! Plus, they are free and widely available, so the little care required in handling them is totally worth it. In fact, the occasional nettle sting, unpleasant as it can be, is actually a good tonic for the nervous, circulatory and lymphatic systems. Nettles are used intentionally for this purpose in a treatment called uritication.
Popular ways to eat nettles include nettle soup, nettle tea and steamed nettles ; in fact you could swap the spinach in any recipe with wild foraged nettles. But long cooking times destroy some of nettles beneficial phytonutrients, so eating raw nettles like in this raw vegan nettle pesto is a bonus. Just handle the leaves carefully while washing and drying them. Thoroughly chopping the nettles in the food processor stops them from stinging.
This pesto is delicious served on cucumber or tomato slices for canapés, on toast topped with roasted vegetables, or stirred through grain pasta or courgetti (spaghetti substitute made by processing raw courgettes using a spiraliser or a julienne peeler).
These quantities make up quite a big batch, please feel free to halve the recipe if needed.
PS: The quality and freshness of your nettles really shine through in this recipe. Use the freshest, greenest, youngest nettle leaves you can find.
Summary: Chickpeas, like all pulses, are high in fibre and protein, making them an all-round health food. Just one cup of cooked chickpeas provide us with half our recommended daily fibre intake. They are also a good source of phytoestrogens. Don't be fooled by how easy this salad is to put together, it is really delicious and very filling.
Summary: Simple but stylish - Our simple recipe for creating stunning rolled sushi nori to cater for everyone's tastes.

If they can promote I'll Give it My All through that store, why can't they bring back more of their canceled manga?

There's pretty much only three reasons why I would read digital manga: if it isn't licensed in print in English, if it's out of print in English, or if I was trying out a new series (which I would then go buy in print if I liked it!). Taking that into account, Viz's manga store isn't really doing anything for me so far. >_> I'm glad they're doing same-day releases, but I would be happier if they were putting up OOP books, too. Reborn! 12 and Bastard!! 19 would be instant buys, for me.
And for that matter, where is Skip Beat? I assume it's doing well, since it's on an "every 3 months" release schedule and the 3-in-1 volumes start coming out next spring. Why isn't it online?
You know what would be really cool? If VIZ used this site as a way to spotlight one-shots by some of their manga-ka. I'm not talking about the "bonus chapter" kinds of one-shots, but the totally original stories that normally just seem tacked on to the back of the print volumes. I'm think of things like Bisco Hatori's "Romantic Egoist" series of one-shots. I've always thought that was kind of a wonky system; they're really hard to find again when you want to read them. With digital, couldn't you just sell that one original chapter as its own thing? Say for $1.49, depending on length, or somewhere around that? One-shots would be a good way to try out a new manga-ka, since they wouldn't be priced as high as an actual volume would be. And I would actually buy one-shots from their website, even though I already have them in print. It's just kind of a hassle thinking "Oh, I wanted to read that one Love Egoist chapter... now which of the 16 volumes of Ouran was it in again? Or maybe it was in Millennium Snow?"
And why can't you search by author, anyways? From any of the books' pages, I should be able to click on the author's name and be brought to a list of other manga they've written. The Vampire Knight fans might appreciate knowing that Matsuri Hino made Meru Puri and Captive Hearts. And if they do decide to start selling the one-shots, being able to search by author would be a must-have.

So since, Naruto 52 ships out this week, is it safe to assume to One Piece 58 will be out as well?

Dustin turns the pages of Ivalice history for a look back. ― There is perhaps no Final Fantasy game—and certainly no 3D entry in the series—which has been uncontroversial.

Genshiken seeks to steer its most questionable plot arc into safer waters in its surprisingly thoughtful ninth volume. ― Genshiken Second Season has been a bit of a mess.
