Legends Of Acid Jazz – This Is Billy Butler/Night Life
CD (Item 18499) Prestige, 1968/1970 — Condition: New Copy
2 lost soul jazz sets from the mighty Billy Butler! This Is Billy Butler is one of the grooviest albums ever from the hip guitarist – a rock-solid session for Prestige that's filled with some amazing rhythms! The sound here is sockingly soulful, and very tight – a mixture of the jazz funk that was coming into the Prestige scene at the time, plus some of the older modes from Butler's years woodshedding in the combo of Bill Doggett. Billy's tones are both rough and smooth, depending on the tracks – and other players include Houston Person on tenor, Ernie Hayes on piano and organ, Bob Bushnell on bass, and Rudy Collins on drums. Butler uses just a bit of wah-wah effects at points – and titles include "Twang Thang", "Work Song", "Soul Roll", and "Bass-ic Blues", which also has Billy on electric bass! Night Life is an album with a very different groove than usual for Billy Butler! On this set, his guitar seems to be processed through something that sounds a bit like a wah wah pedal – although we're not quite sure, and can't find any reference to the technology in the notes. It's got a sound that's a little compressed, with a mellow groove that's different than Billy's usual plucked notes – more flowing waves of sound that snake out slyly, and wrap themselves around some mellow rhythms from the rest of the combo. Players here include Jesse Powell on tenor (although Houston Person takes over in the role on one track) – plus Johnny Hammond Smith on organ, Bob Bushnell on Fender bass, and Jimmy Johnson on drums. Titles include "Nightlife", "Wave", "Watch What Happens", and "Peacock Alley". (CD case has a small cutout hole.) © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

The $2.5 million dollar treatment facility is designed to raise the pH of water from the well to a level more consistent with what is found in other parts the city's water system. The well water's pH of about 6.4 will rise to the 7.5-8.0 range. A pH below 6.6 may be corrosive to some plumbing and fixtures.
Customers with water treatment systems, or who use water for such things as hot tubs and fish tanks, may need to adjust their treatment levels in response to the higher pH.

The GPU or IGP (Integrated Graphics Platform) in the Core i5 600 is called the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD, which has been derived from an existing Intel graphics product.
Intel claims the Graphics Media Accelerator HD is considerably more powerful than the GMA X4500 HD featured in the Intel G45 chipset. The number of shaders has been increased to 12 from 10 offered by the G45, while they operate at either 733MHz or 900MHz depending on the processor, whereas the G45 runs at 800MHz.
Intel has also increased the amount of memory that the GPU can utilize from 768MB on the G45 to a massive 1.7GB on the built-in GPU for systems that have RAM to spare.
The Graphics Media Accelerator HD has a theoretical bandwidth of 21.2GB/s which is ~25% greater than the GMA 4500M HD using DDR3 memory. Overall Intel claims that Clarkdale graphics will work about 1.5x faster than the integrated graphics core of the G45 chipset, which nonetheless should still be insufficient to become a mildly capable gaming GPU.

Calling it "a stark wake-up call to everyone involved in college sports," the National Collegiate Athletic Association announced a $60 million fine against Penn State University on Monday and stripped 14 seasons of football victories from the late head coach Joe Paterno.
NCAA President Mark Emmert said the unprecedented fine will be paid over five years to fund programs that serve the victims of child sexual abuse. The NCAA also banned Penn State from postseason play for four years and took away 20 football scholarships a year for four seasons, he said.
The sanctions are part of the continued fallout from the child sex abuse scandal involving former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky, who was convicted in late June of 45 of the 48 counts he faced involving 10 young victims. They're a blow to one of college football's traditional powers, a two-time national champion.
"No price the NCAA can levy will repair the grievous damage inflicted by Jerry Sandusky on his victims," Emmert said. "However, we can make clear that the culture, actions and inactions that allowed them to be victimized will not be tolerated in collegiate athletics."
Penn State avoided the NCAA's "death penalty," a suspension from play of a year or more. But Ed Ray, the chairman of the NCAA's executive committee, said the sanctions laid on the school "should serve as a stark wake-up call to everyone in college sports."
Paterno, who coached at Penn State for 46 years, was fired after Sandusky's arrest in November. Graham Spanier, the school's president, was also let go. Two other former university officials face criminal charges in the Sandusky scandal.
The Big Ten Conference also acted Monday, ruling that Penn State is ineligible for its conference title football game and that the Nittany Lions' share of bowl revenues for the next four seasons -- about $13 million -- will be donated to charities that "protect children."
The NCAA action follows an independent investigation led by former FBI Director Louis Freeh, whose report held Paterno and other top Penn State officials responsible for failing to stop the abuse beginning in 1998. Penn State President Rodney Erickson said the university has accepted the decision and will not appeal.
"I think, for the whole university, what this calls upon us to do is to look at our whole value culture, our whole value set, our value base," Erickson told CNN. The school will have to ask itself "what are the most important things in terms of a university, our mission, our educational mission, educational excellence in all of its dimensions," he said.
"Those conversations are going to go on from the top on down, from the board to my administration to the leadership of all of our various units, and drive those conversations down," he said.

NEW: "Europe's Digital Hotspots 2010"
Prague, July 10, 2010
Today, ICT is a large industry, every country publishes statistics, tells the world how important ICT is there, the European Union tries to catapult Europe to the top of the charts yet,
if both Europeans and non-Europeans want to know, what is actually happening in ICT in Europe, they would have to browse thousands of websites and compile innumerable data on companies, universities, clusters, public organisations, initiatives etc.
Weve done that work for you.
And weve picked out the highlights, put together charts and collections of deep links and overviews, and tried to categorize everything to give you easy access to this vast compilation of industry specific information, and to let you have an idea of what is happening where, how and why.
This publication identifies and describes Europes most interesting places in terms of research & development, lists the clusters and technology parks, explains networks and provides tons of carefully categorised data.
Of course, this publication is not complete it would be simply too much. But it is a competent and concise summary - as this book is an online publication, you can go deeper into the matter you chose and try to get vertical insight.
We think that many Europeans, but even more readers outside Europe, will be surprised about the range of competence and offerings.
Who should read this book? ICT entrepreneurs and managers responsible for export, partner search, technology transfer and investment abroad, government officials who are in charge of national and international ICT related strategies, national investment agencies, universities interested in contacts to businesses, networkers and, last but not least, the press.
The book contains four volumes which are divided into countries. Europe is still based on national structures, only in a few cases clusters cross borders or are based on cross border regions.
The publication is supposed to be reader friendly, well structured and helpful. Texts are in .pdf, charts and sortable tables in .xls, and links have time saving explanations. All subscribers get regular updates, so as to make best use of the WWW.
The book is a digital product, but can be ordered in a print edition, too. It consists of four chapters, available on
- September 1st,
- October 1st,
- November 2nd and
- December 1, 2010.
If you book until August 31, 2010, you profit from a 30% discount.
An alternative would be to sit down and find and browse thousands of websites, squeeze the last drop out of search machines and databases, read, compare, make notes. Thats gonna cost you some time. And money.
Thats why we did it. We had a good pint of departure: We know the European ICT landscape. So we could pick out the highlights and describe, what is happening in Europes ICT businesses and research activities and where.
The texts are easy to read, the (deep) links are, of course, clickable, the lists and rankings can be sorted according to your needs, and theres a lot of additional materials such as brochures, studies, strategies and databases for download.

Astonished onlookers watched as the manger and striker were dragged apart by staff
Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini and striker Mario Balotelli had to be separated by staff after a training ground bust-up this morning.
The pair were dragged apart in front of astonished onlookers after the Italian striker mis-timed a tackle on Scott Sinclair at Carrington.
A witness told the Manchester Evening News that Mancini reacted furiously to the challenge and chastised Balotelli.
The bust-up will raise further questions about the 22-year-old's future at the club after a number of on and off-the-pitch misdemeanours after he joined the Blues for £22m in 2010.
A Blues source played down the incident and claimed it had been blown out of proportion.
Manchester City declined to comment.

Can I have a 24h (consecutive) cheat period instead of a cheat day? lets say instead of having my cheat day on saturday I'll have it from friday 4pm till saturday 4pm. Also can I have 3 cheat mea...

Developments including a vertical drop slide, installation of a climbing wall, re-surfacing and fencing of the ball court and other investments were completed in 2009 under the Play Pathfinder programme funded by the Department of Children, Schools and Families.
This site was chosen as a site for investment under the Pathfinder programme through an assessment process, which involved a review of location, appropriate size, visibility, recent investment (or lack of), relationship to other regeneration programmes, child density and expected relationship within the emerging Plans for the Parks and Green Space Strategy.
The budget for the site was determined by the size and potential scope of the project in relation to the Pathfinder resources, together with the identification of any additional funding available from sources other than Pathfinder

It is metal, but kinda thin and for the VTX1300, you have to "bend" the sides in since this piece is the same one for the 1800 which has a wider fender. Installation was easy, BUT- you have to drill a hole in your fender for a plastic pressure bolt. It is held in place with double-sided adhesive tape, and this bolt keeps it in place, at least that's what Honda says it does. For $5.00 more you could get the one from National Cycle, which I have on the back fender. It looks great, but we'll see how well it holds up. It sure was a lot of money for something that feels kinda flimsy. Review Details 3 out of 5 members found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No |

Okay. I rarely tell you what to do (cough, cough) or even suggest that I know what I'm talking about (COUGH), but this is one of them things I'm sure of.
Spotify Premium has made my life a better place. I know what you're thinking. "But, Allyson, your life is awesome. You go to concerts all the time, work full-time selling fishing equipment and are a national debate champion (did I mention that?). How could your life get better?" And yeah. I agree with you. My life was pretty great to begin with.
So imagine how awesome Spotify Premium has to be. Here's the ice cream scoop.
1. No adverts
No, it wasn't the most irritating thing in the world. Much like commercials in the midst of my favorite TV shows, I was able to forebear. But imagine a world in which you don't have to forebear. A world so amazingly convenient that you never have to hear advertisements again.
It's the TiVo of the music listening world! It's revolutionary! It's evolutionary! I can't believe it's not butter!
It's smooth listening with no interruptions, and that's a beautiful thing.
2. No time restraints
If you don't pay for Spotify, you won't get all the goodies of Spotify. We're all familiar with the concept. You get what you pay for. If you don't pay for Spotify (by either buying Unlimited or Premium), you are subject to time limits. You can listen to a maximum of 10 hours of music monthly.
I'm pretty sure I go beyond 10 hours in a day. I'm rarely not listening to music. Even when it's just in the background, I always have some music going. It's a good way to give my day that extra something it was probably missing. 10 hours is terrible. It's enough time to taunt you but not enough to satisfy you.
Unlimited and Premium mean that you never have to stop the music.
3. It's mobile!
One of my biggest complaints about Grooveshark and other online music databases is that you can't listen to the music on your phone (I have an iPhone. That might be important for context.). I mean, my iTunes library will obviously play music on my phone, but only if I've purchased or illegally downloaded some music (Not that I've ever done this or ever will in the future).
Spotify Premium opens up the world of music even when I'm not connected to the internet. I can sync playlists to be available even when I'm offline. It's exactly what I always needed without quite knowing that I needed it. To say it's convenient is to undermine the magic of Spotify.
I listen to the music and the music listens to me. We are legion.
4. The radio
You know how awesome Pandora can be? Spotify radio is better. It has all of the benefits of Pandora, but none of the drawbacks. Imagine a world where you really like a song or an artist and you want to listen to more music like it. Now imagine that you could create a radio station that will play music with qualities similar to that original song or artist you liked. Got it? It's a complicated imagining, but I think you can get there.
Okay, let's stop pretending. Let's address the reality. When listening to Spotify radio, you can hear a song you really like. The radio station then enables you to be the master of your fate. If you give the song a thumbs up, the song is added to a playlist called "Liked from Radio." You don't have to try to keep notes on which songs you like. Spotify does that for you.
It makes discovering music so much easier.
5. Pays the labels
This is true for whatever version of Spotify you use. Spotify pays the labels of artist's on a per-listen basis. This means that, while the money may not be going directly to the artist, it IS going to their label. In the world of the internet and readily accessible torrented music, it's refreshing to have a way to listen to music (without owning it) that still benefits the artist (assuming the label pays them).
Listen to music, and get some money in the musician's hands (maybe). I mean, theoretically, an artist could make more money off of Spotify than iTunes. If a song on iTunes costs me .99¢, that's all I'll ever pay for it. Even if I listen to that song 500 times, I'll only have paid for it once. If I listen to a song 500 times on Spotify, the artist will get paid 500 times (granted, the artist isn't making the same .99¢ a listen…for more info read this article).
I get paid in awesome jams and the labels get paid in the green stuff. Alllllllll right.
Seriously, Spotify gets a serious thumbs up from me. I adore it. It's possibly the wisest investment I make a month (apart from my car payment of course).
If you already have Spotify, it's like we're related. If you don't…what's wrong with you?
Get on it.

Vietnam will continue to fully implement the provisions of the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) as regard to its maritime zones and settlement of disputes therein, and calls on other states to do likewise.
The statement was made by Nguyen Thi Thanh Ha, head of the Vietnamese delegation to the 22 nd Meeting of States Parties to the 1982 UNCLOS in New York on June 8, which also included a celebration of 30 years of the adoption of the Convention.
"Vietnam firmly believes that the observance of the UNCLOS by all States Parties in the East Sea will be fundamental to maintain an environment of peace, security and friendly cooperation for the coastal states as well as other users of the East Sea," she stressed.
Vietnam signed the Convention on the very first day it was open for signature, Ha said, adding that after the country ratified the Convention in 1994, it has made great efforts to transform the rights and obligations provided for in the Convention into national legislation.
She went on to say that in compliance with the provisions of the Convention, Vietnam has established its territorial seas, contiguous zone, exclusive economic zone and continental shelf in the East Sea and carried out activities of exploration, exploitation and conservation of the sea and its natural resources for national economic development.
Like for many other countries, the maritime areas under national sovereignty and jurisdiction are of vital security and economic interests for Vietnam, she affirmed.
She took this opportunity to call on the non-States Parties to consider joining the UNCLOS to make it even more universally recognised and implemented.
Ha underlined that States Parties to the Convention are obliged to fully implement the UNCLOS in good faith and a responsible manner, to respect the legitimate rights entitled to coastal States Parties in their territorial seas, contiguous zone, exclusive economic zone and continental shelf under the Convention, to cooperate for the development of marine scientific research, the optimum exploitation of living resources, the conservation of the marine environment, and to manage the international seabed in the interests of the mankind.
At the celebration, many countries described the 1982 UNCLOS as one of the most important multi-lateral international commitments in the 20 th century, with 162 member states. They said the convention created a comprehensive and fair international legal order for all activities at seas and oceans, helping maintain peace, stability and economic development in the world.

HIV and Syphilis Cases on the Rise in AlaskaState health officials warn of STD outbreaksALASKA - State health officials are trying to get the word out tonight about an increase in both HIV infections and syphilis cases in our state. Syphilis is a serious sexually transmitted disease. This latest outbreak seems to be concentrated mostly in Anchorage, while the spike in new HIV cases is occuring in Fairbanks. State health officials say both of the outbreaks have something in common. "[It] is that they are primarily involving in both these outbreaks men who are having sex with men and who are finding their sex partners online through the internet, through sex-seeking sites," said Susan Jones of the Department of Health and Social Services. Health officials are urging people to get tested and treated – especially those considered at high risk.

Alert Us! said on Wednesday, Feb 29 at 10:03 PM Yeah, because HETEROSEXUALS never get syphilis right? You christians with your twisted logic are hilarious! Maybe if gays were accepted equally they wouldn't be taking risks to fulfill their NATURAL desires. I recall a huge hospital in NJ where the nuns went to secretly get abortions.

Yesterday, I had a chance pre-feast pow-wow with my man Harlem Boog and (Brooklyn) Migz. One cat came through to my lab…then another one made the impromptu stop-in…and boom…we're in a 3-cornered circle talking about days long passed: our first tapes, buying albums for one song and hating the rest of it (yet still listening through the whole shit since missing somethin' or poppin' your tape with rigorous fast-forward/rewind work would have been a much greater tragedy), off-the-radio mixtapes (how we used keep the system on mega low volume, head next to the speaker and finger on "pause"…all to stay under the parental radar since rap music was racy and full of the wrong messages (to them)), $5 limo bags, memos your school would send to pop/ma dukes about certain fly pieces that would put his/her/their child at risk, the first time we heard a Kool G Rap joint, how Ready To Die may have been modeled after Live And Let Die, Evil Dee on HOT97 Monday nights, etc. I love that type of shit.
In today's featured clip, we see a (similar, yet larger…and perhaps more document-worthy) gathering of the minds at the legendary "Fever" in the Boogie Down. It's gotta be '93 or so, and a young Fat Joe celebrates the completion of his debut album with the rest of the BDP/Diggin' In The Crates crew, Uncle Ralph McDaniels (who more appropriate to host…plus it IS "Nervous Thursday" after all), KRS, Dres, Red Alert, Special K, Teddy Ted, Sadat-X, Primo, Willie D, and then some. The air is thick with grand mutual respect and genuine comradery amongst the artists…something seldom felt in this day and age of pre-packaged egos, Internet beef, and all-pseudo-everything.
So on this day…enjoy the familial vibe of this clip, remember the good times, and embrace the moments you get with your loved ones. Eat well.

1951 Merc - Low Down...But Not Too Dirty
1951 Merc - Low Down...But Not Too Dirty
Love Him Or Hate Him-There's No Denying Jesse James Is A Car Guy
From the August, 2010 issue of Rod & Custom
By Rob Fortier
As most of us have probably seen by now, life at the top ain't always so grand. Being the center of media attention, if (or in this case, when) things go bad, they can go really bad-and everyone has to know about it. I'm not sure about you, but the last thing I want to read about or watch on TV is anything having to do with celebrities' personal lives. And I don't think they'd mind if their "affairs" were kept private as well-and right about now, probably none more than Jesse James.
Long before he became somewhat of a household name, Jesse did what most of us have been doing-wrenched on hot rods and motorcycles. And just like most of us, he still does. That's one thing no tabloid can dispute. In a roundabout way, that's how he and I became friends over 25 years ago. (It started with antique bicycles, but as soon as-or maybe even before-we got our driver's licenses, two wheels quickly turned to four.) While the rest of our high school classmates likely went off and lived normal family lives, we stuck to doing what we knew and loved. Obviously, the outcome would take one of us to a higher level, but for what it's worth, the other one's not complaining.
Along with his successes, Jesse has been able to further "enjoy" his motored obsessions, which go well beyond what you might have imagined-among other things, he's revisited our childhood passion of Volkswagens, recently acquiring one of the oldest VW Beetles to exist in the United States (on top of having more Bugs in one collection than any other type of car). Along with a split-window (or two or three), he's also got the other car we both dreamed of owning way back when: a chopped 1951 Merc. Now, while I don't foresee myself ever fulfilling my "air-cooled" fascinations, I would definitely make room in the garage for a Merc-so, yeah, our early rivalry was rekindled when he finished this up a couple years back in Austin, Texas.
Though now residing in Long Beach, California, in his equally enviable shop, the Mercury began both of its lives (stock and customized) in Texas. How he ended up with it, I couldn't tell you. But what I do know is what he immediately did with it-let the crew at Austin Speed Shop do their thing, which turned out to be basically everything, including upholstery, save for the paint. From the roof job (not so much a chop as it was a major transplant seeing that they ended up grafting a '50 Merc lid on) to the Heidts/RideTech-equipped chassis, with a Jeg's 502 big-block no less, it all happened in-house up until Jesse hauled it out west to have his own painter, Pete "Hot Dog" Finlan, add color. But it wouldn't be long before the '51 was back in Texas getting the finishing touches, namely a trademark custom interior by Sean "Fat Lucky" Johnstun.
Since our balloon-tire bicycle days, everything we've owned, no matter what it was, got a personal touch. Whether that translated into a set of wheels or simply a sticker, there always had to be something that set it apart and let everyone know whose it was. As does his chopped '54 Chevy and '36 Ford five-window, the Merc wears exposed painted steel wheels (wearing only spiders as opposed to full hubcaps) with wide whites. There are a few other unique and distinguishing aspects, such as the custom steering wheel done by Pearlcraft in Australia or the hand-engraved valve covers and air cleaner, but overall, the Merc is by no means gaudy or overdone-quite the opposite. The only thing it's really missing is "my" name on the pink slip!

My wife, Jenn, did a GREAT job decorating our porch for Fall. Pumpkins, hay bales, the whole nine yards. My part of the deal was to get our yard looking good. I called Lane with Xtreme Lawn Service and his crew worked in the yard all day.
When the yard was finished, I walk outside, barefoot, to settle up and pay the guys. As I turned around, this mighty viper was cocked and ready. I had stepped over him on my way out the door! He was curled up on our doormat and was very serious about being messed with. I had no choice but to grab a shovel and take matters into my own hands.
I have a wife and little girl that could walk out the front door at anytime! He jumped and struck until I finally brought our fight to an end.
I guess he had made his home in our new Fall decorations on the porch. Am I lucky or what? I could have stepped on him as I walked out on the porch! I still shiver when I think about it.-Dr. Shane

Whereas conventional radiography produces summed images of an object, tomographic scanners rotate around the object being imaged, dividing the object and organizing it into spatially consecutive image slices.
The red line on the standard lateral radiograph of this foal's skull demarcates the location of the CT image pictured. Note how much more obvious the severity of this foal's facial trauma (maxillary fractures and hemorrhage in the nasal cavity) is on the CT versus radiographic image.
The major advantage of CT over conventional radiographs is improved spatial resolution. Veterinary patients are placed on the CT table while under anesthesia.
The CT table moves through the circular tunnel of the CT scanner (gantry) while an x-ray tube within the CT housing emits x-rays as it encircles the patient within the gantry. A detector array, on the opposite side of the x-ray tube, measures the x-rays that pass through the patient and computer-generated cross-sectional images are constructed from this data. Computed tomography is particularly useful for diagnosing abnormalities of the nasal passages, middle and inner ear, brain, abdomen, lung, mediastinum and the musculoskeletal system.
The computed tomography service at the Veterinary Medical Center includes a GE LightSpeed 8-multidetector helical CT scanner. CT studies are archived on a digital PACS system and optical disc. A specially constructed CT table, built by the Engineering Department at The Ohio State University, enables CT imaging of large animal patients weighing up to 2500 pounds.
A fracture of this horse's foot was further charactized using CT. Though the fracture was identified on radiographs, the small bone fragment associated with the fracture was not seen until the CT study was performed (arrow).
3D reconstructions of the horse's foot (below) further define the margins of the fracture.
The Ohio State University is a leader in the development of clinical applications for CT imaging in veterinary patients. Some of the past and on-going investigations are listed below:

Simple on Steep The included Roof Cleaning Equipment - Pro Applicator makes applying roof cleaning chemicals to steep roofs easy!
Roof QSE is a great product. I knew that I need to either replace the roof, or give this roof cleaning try. After looking at other roof cleaning sites, and reading your reviews (no other sites had reviews!)I figured Roof Cleaner QSE was the best choice and was definitely cheaper than replacing the roof.I took the top picture before cleaning the roof, the middle picture on roof cleaning day, and the bottom picture a couple weeks later.As you can see, the results were amazing!
Thanks for the Roof Cleaning Pro Bundle! Cleaning a roof was easier than I thought it would be. I had looked for different products on your site, and was relieved to see that a bundle gave me everything I needed in a single box! The bundle included complete instruction sheet for both the Roof Cleaner and the Roof Protectant (armor). Now with the roof clean, the neighborhood association is asking how I did it; I'll be telling them about Clean Roof Forever!
We buy houses, fix them up and sell them. Using your cleaner on a dirty roof makes it looks like we replaced the roof! (and saves us over $12,000 because the roof isn't replaced!)We had read the reviews on your site and thought we'd give it a try. My husband could NOT believe it when the first house we cleaned look JUST LIKE the picture on your website!We'll be customers forever.
Thank you for the phone call regarding my Roof Cleaner Bundle order.I realize that I ordered two of the roof cleaner bundles; My neighbor and I combined our orders.I appreciate the concern, not many companies would take the time to inquire.We look forward to trying your roof cleaner products as we have a terrible time in St. Louis with roof streaking.Sincerely, Mark

Springfield Week in Review
A look back at notable goings on in the township in recent days.

Power Outages in Springfield Reported After Severe Weather On Thursday, Jan. 31, Jersey Central Power & Light reported that 892 Springfield customers lost power.

April 4, 2012
•Guinness turnover for the 9months ended March 31st 2012 grew a tepid 2.5%YoY to N92billion on the back of slower volumes, even as sales continued its single digit run so far this year.
•Q3 turnover of N29billion declined 4.4%YoY-a 0.51% deviation from our forecast.
•At 43% gross margin were slightly below 45% 3 year average as the impact of a slight increase in commodity prices in Q 1 2012—sorghum and barley inched ~3% and ~6% within Q3 2012—was largely offset by a 3.6% appreciation in the naira over the same period.
OPEX and interest expense continue to weigh on bottomline
•Notably, a 24% YoY rise in opex to N26billion (28% of sales) reflects increased marketing expenditure as well as an ~722ppt YoY increase in interest expense to N822million, which resulted in a 24%YoY decline in PBT to N13.34billion.
•Similarly, PAT for the 9months and Q3 declined ~24% and 58% YoY respectively to N9billion and N1.9billion. Effective tax rates were stable at 32%.
We expect a rebound in 2013 financial year
•Guinness' N55billion capacity expansion which we expect to come fully on stream in time for the commencement of FY2013 in July 2012 should provide a substantial boost to sales. Importantly, this should ease the production constraints which see current utilisation rates at ~90% contributing to the tepid sales growth through FY'12. We thus expect a rebound of strong double-digit turnover growth from FY'13.
•This capacity addition should provide much needed support for its fast growing Harp Lager brand, which has gained a ~35% share of lager market in recent years, and further consolidates its position in the stout segment where it dominates with ~80% share of market.
•We are also optimistic that Guinness's foray into the mass market segment with the relaunch of Dubic beer in April 2012, an economy brand popular in the South East, will give it a foothold in the rapidly expanding mass market. We believe that such a differentiation strategy across the beer segments positions it effectively to weather the threat of market share erosion as consumers trade down in light of expected constrictions in discretionary income. We however expect much of the upside of this relaunch to materialise from FY 2013, accounting for the lead time required for its marketing drive to yield fruit.
•Another consideration which has to varying degrees affected the broader consumer goods sector is the volatility in northern Nigeria. However, to the extent that regions other than the north contribute the larger share of sales, the company is somewhat insulated from the shocks.
•In light of a sub-par performance so far, and the fact that Q3 contributes ~22% to annual sales, we maintain our FY '12 top-line forecast at N132billion (7% YoY growth) factoring marginal volume increase in Q4.
•We also leave our COGS (19%YoY) and opex (13%YoY) estimates unchanged as we expect steady commodity prices in Q4'12. Thus, having already incorporated expected volume growth, our previous valuation assumptions remain essentially intact.
Still expensive in our view…
•We retain our current TP of N201.55, which puts current market price at a~20% premium. From a relative valuation perspective, Guinness trades at a FY 2012 P/E and P/B of 24.18x and 7.56 x, compared with NB's 16.66x and 8.49x. Thus, we reiterate our SELL rating of the stock.

ARM ratings and recommendations
ARM now employs a two-tier rating system which is based on systemic importance of the security under review and the deviation of our target price for the stock from current market price. We characterize systemic importance as a function of a stock's ranking among the group of top 20 stocks by NSE market capitalization over a trailing 6 month period (minimum) to the review date. We adopt a 5 point rating system for this category of stocks and a 3 point rating system for stocks outside this group. The choice of top 20 stocks arises from the consideration that this group of stocks constitutes >75% of overall market capitalization and stocks outside this group are generally less liquid and individually account for <<1% of market capitalization. For stocks in both categories, the basis for ratings subject to target price deviation is outlined below:

System set up to favor tax assessor interpretation
To the Editor:
I would first like to thank Chip Bailey for all his information. It has inspired me to try to figure out the Morgan County property tax system. What I have figured out is the system is set up so it can be interpreted anyway the tax assessor wishes, fair or not. It is nothing but a numbers game to be used at the tax assessor's whim. The entire system is flawed and the only way around it is either to know someone or to pay someone. Does not the tax assessor work for the people as a public servant to "help" us?
I have found that every excuse the tax assessor uses to raise my house and land value, I have been able to find comparable properties, which show just the opposite. There is no uniformity, which is required by state law. Even though the fair market value and an appraisal is shown it is ignored. How come the economy has caused many counties to take a 7 to 9 percent reduction in property taxes across the board and many people in Morgan County have had their land values doubled? I have spoken to several people who have appealed because their square footage was wrong on their tax report. Their square footage was corrected but the assessor's office decided to raise the value of their square footage. They get you coming and going.
I believe the assessors office knows people won't want to hire an attorney to win a suit because they can't afford the money it will cost. They have you where they want you. Do our commissioners do anything to help us? NO! I believe that is called taxation without representation. This is the same reason we fought the British to start this great country. Think about it.

New Blackout Beach LP due soon, hear / buy now!
The mighty Blackout Beach are back to the recorded world this month with the epic and exquisitely-titled Blues Trip. Not only is the record a retelling of the brilliant 2011 LP Fuck Death (Dead Oceans), it also captures, for the first time on record, the live "blues trio" (Carey's description) sound the band has been exploring for the last year or so. The trio in question is Carey Mercer (guitar, voice), Melanie Campbell (drums), and Dante De Caro (bass). Dan Bejar stopped in to sing a bit here & there on the record, too. The Fuck Death songs may have lost the ambitious and serpentine arrangements, but the unconventional nature of the music remains with these raw versions. Mercer and co. are fully embracing Australian post-punk moves here, more completely and less intentionally than ever referencing Crime + The City Solution, The Bad Seeds and The Moodists...
The LP version will be released in about two weeks via Soft Abuse. Pre-order a copy here. I'll be shipping them ASAP.
The digital sales are happening now (!), via the band's own Bandcamp page, where you may also stream everything, too, of course. Check it via the link or below...

Myrrh unleash debut LP & plot summer tour
Sub-underground duo Myrrh have been dealing their own strain of blown-out doom for a few years; calmly inducing heavy feedback & thud beatitudes armed only with drums and viola. Their heavy, stoned & repetitive / tranced instrumentals summon the corpses of Pärson Sound and Skullflower (and of course Sabbath and Earth) with nary a puff of derivative smoke.
Comprised of Jackie Beckey (Brute Heart) and Andie Mazorol (Mother of Fire), Myrrh construct paeans around crushing riffs and thick atmosphere. The eight untitled dirges that comprise their debut were recorded in haste, and promptly issued on cassette by Myrrh themselves. Dubs were made to order & sold at shows, long after the initial master was lost. Soft Abuse facilitated a necessary remaster and vinyl edition that peels back a layer of murk without comprising the din. Lovingly presented with an art print, poster and gratis download, the first book of Myrrh is among us.
Pre-order the self-titled Myrrh LP here (release date is August 21)...
Since making their debut, Myrrh has expanded to a trio, with Jason Millard (Lighted) on lap steel. Myrrh are pummeling weirdos on tour now; below are the dates (all with Skoal Kodiak) - catch them in yr zone:
07/19 - Baltimore, MD - Floristree (with Speaker)
07/20 - Brooklyn, NY - Death By Audio (with Alien Whale)
07/21 - Providence, RI - Bldg 16
07/22 - somewhere in Maine..?!
07/23 - Allston, MA - Thee Bandit Ship
07/24 - Philadelphia, PA - Space 1026
07/25 - Pittsburgh, PA - Grubb's Metal Shop
07/26 - Chicago, IL - Reversible Eye Gallery (with Mayor Daley - LP release gig)

07/28 - Minneapolis, MN - Palmer's Bar
