text: My Suzuki GSX1400 K2 - four months after purchase Here's some pictures I took during the first 24 hours I owned the motorcycle. Here's my first thoughts of the brand new bike and why I choose to buy it. Here's a page about the initial (1 000km / 600 miles) inspection. On this page I tell you about my first ride this year, four months after purchase. My dirty bike on January 13th 2002 in Strängnäs Sweden, first trip after winter storage outside my apartment. The gray thing behind the bike is ice, if you didn't notice. Photo: Jarmo Haapamäki Waiting for the roads to melt If I was living in California USA or Southern Spain I could ride every day with my bike, regardless the season. But I'm living in Sweden where the climate is much colder at winter and the mileage has been quite low. I bought my bike quite late in the autumn and the longer trip I have made with my GSX1400 is still riding the bike home from the shop in Jönköping where I bought it - about 240 kilometers. Therefor I can't tell you what it's like to tour across continents with it. Hopefully I can make a trip across Europe with my beloved bike next summer. Last weekend I decided it was time to take a first ride this year with my Suzi. After December 15th it has been nearly impossible to use it without changing the byres first, there was snow and ice everywhere. (See the picture of my bike under a snow cover on the problems page.) It would have been too cold to ride anyway. But most of the the snow melted and vanished a couple of days ago - it was time to go biking again! There was still some ice spots on the roads on Saturday 12th, I decided to wait another day before I hit the road. But I wanted to test if everything was still OK with my bike. The winter had surprised me and the poor thing had been outside nearly a month, several inches snow above it. But there was no harm done, it started right away without hesitating a second. I let the engine idle until the exhaust pipes were warm and there was no more steam coming out of them. There's another brave biker in Sweden On Sunday, January 13th, I decided it was safe to use the roads again. Quite early in the morning I phoned my brother Yrjö, a Gold Wing owner from Hallstavik, and asked if he was planning to go out biking on such a beautiful day. Yes, he was planning to take out his bike as well! He lives 200 km from Hälleforsnäs and we decided that we'll meet halfway, at McDonald's in Enköping. My other brother Risto though we were crazy. There was still snow on the side of the roads and the temperature was only a couple of degrees above water's freezing point. Actually, the driveway at Yrjö's house in Hallstavik was still covered with ice and he had a hard time getting his Gold Wind to the clear roads. My neighbors came out and asked if I was OK and tried to convince me to stay home instead of risking my life, he told me. I had serious problems at first, there was still a couple of inches of snow on my home street and the rear tire was slipping all the way. But after that there was no problems, he continued. I wouldn't even have started my bike if I hadn't had a totally ice-free road at sight. But that's my brother. When I was a kid he rode his T500 at winter, regardless it was -20°C cold and the roads were all covered with thick ice. He did crash his bike once, but it happened at summer (he could mend the bike himself and the bike is still running in Finland somewhere, I think). My neighbor was washing his car on that Sunday morning so I decided to wash my bike, too. After all, it had been standing outside for a month and the seat and everything was a bit dirty. With a clean bike I took of on early afternoon. I was happy. It was a great fun to be able to ride a bike again. I had extra clothes and a Gore-tex jacket on so I was quite warm and it felt almost like summer. Hooray, here we go again! The good thing about riding a bike at winter is that there's no flies and other unidentified kamikaze flyers that get in the way like at summer. There's no need to scrape them off the visor or the head lamp. But there's another problem - salt on the roads. In Sweden they use salt to get rid of the snow and ice on the main roads when the weather is somewhere around 0°C. When it's warmer than -5°C the salt melts the ice to water. But the salt is still there and soon enough I noticed that I couldn't see a thing unless I wiped the visor of my helmet clean all the time. There had not been many days the conditions had been perfect in every way after the day I bought my GSX1400 - perhaps none. But it's still fun. Low visibility but no bugs I took it quite easy with the throttle. I was feeling how the bike reacted on the damp surface. The tires were cold and probably a bit harder than the last time I was on the road. The bike handled well but I have always thought it warns very early when the road is not totally dry and the grip 100 per cent. When the surface is dry and clean the tires seem to have all the grip in the world but when it rains or the road is damp I get a feeling the bike is telling me to take it easy - much easier than I usually do. I don't really know if that's mostly me or the bike - I have slowed down a lot every time I have got the feeling. I'm not aching to find out exactly how fast I can ride at the corners at damp or wet surface. I'd guess it would painful in several ways to find out what happens if the bike looses the grip. Probably not that much? I filled the tank before I left town. For the first time chose unleaded 98 instead of the 95 I normally use. I don't know if it was the fuel (probably not) or if the engine has loosened up a bit after traveling a bit over 2000 kilometers, but I got a feeling it ran smoother than it has done before. I have always loved the engine for it's enormous torque but when releasing the throttle completely it felt almost like I was hitting the rear brake. It seems like it occurred only when the engine was brand new. I also think that the pipes are a bit louder now, compared to the first time I used my bike. The bike sounds quite masculine now, not like a wimpy Singer anymore. I guessed I wanted to try how fast the bike would go with the more expensive fuel but I was nowhere near the top speed. I hadn't been riding for a while and I had to wipe the visor clean every now and then to be able to see the road. 160 km/h seemed like a hellowa speed now, and the bike was good for at least 230 km/h. Actually, 120 km/h felt like a suitable march speed for me and my bike that day. After riding only 60 kilometers, in Strängnäs, I steered of the highway to a gas station to clean the visor the water and smoke a cigarette. I noticed that washing the bike a couple of hours earlier was a waste of time. As you can see of the photo at the top of the page, my beautiful bike looked like it was a dirt bike after a rally in the woods. OK, it can be cleaned up again. Passing ice-covered rivers Twenty kilometers after Strängnäs or so I noticed that I felt a bit tired at my fingers. I have never noticed any vibrations what so ever on the bike that caused such problems. I realized I had been squeezing the steer quite hard - I was a bit nervous. Although there was no ice on the roads, I had been ready for any kind of slippery road conditions. Take it easy, I said to myself. There's nothing be be nervous about. And the first time I realized I hadn't met any other motorcycle rider on my way. Perhaps there was only me and my brother who were crazy enough to get on the roads when the conditions were actually quite poor. The river and lakes I passed were covered with ice and there was snow in the woods. But I felt fine. If I only didn't have to worry about seeing the road in front of me. The last couple of kilometers in Enköping before the meeting point at McDonald's were riding at a highway. The road was covered with water from melting snow and instead of salt on the visor I had to wipe of water from the visor all the time. I was happy to turn off the highway to the hamburger restaurant. Outside the McDonald's there is a tiny parking space for motorcycles only. But the restaurant owner hadn't apparently thought that there would be any customers arriving with their bikes in January and the parking space was covered with over half meter of snow. I noticed it to the staff inside. They didn't know to say - the girl behind the counter just stared e like I was a loony. My GSX outside McDonald's in Enköping Sweden and my brother's Honda Gold Wing. His bike was much cleaner than mine, I'd guess there was less salt and more water on the roads north of Enköping. I came from south. You can see how there's still lots of snow on the side of the parking lot. Photo: Jarmo Haapamäki My brother and I had no plans whatsoever. After eating a hamburger and visiting an outlet supermarket nearby (I bought a pair of socks) we didn't know what else to do. My brother had to get some gas (the meter on my bike showed full tank after riding 100 km's) and after that we decided to ride home again. The sun goes up late in the morning and goes down early in the afternoon in Sweden at winter. It was already dark when I steered my Suzi homewards. It wasn't as fun as riding at daylight. My reaction in the evening I rode my bike for the very first time was how the head light's so powerful. But when the road's damp and covered with a mixture of salt and dirt - with the same shit on the visor and the head light - there's not much you see when you meet another vehicle in the dark. I also use glasses and that doesn't make it better. Every time I met a car I almost stopped the bike when I wasn't able to see the road in front of me. No fun. But I got home all right and was quite happy making the short trip anyway. At least I got rid of the sense that the grip was poor when the road's damp. There was no sign what so ever that the tires couldn't cope with it. The engine didn't mind the weather either. After washing the dirt and salt from the boots and legs (happily the dirt don't seem to rise above the knees) I took off my riding gear and enjoyed the warmth on a Finnish sauna and the taste of cold Finnish beer. Life is good, sometimes. Summary: I have a great bike I have thought of it many times but I can't think of that many things I'm not pleased with my GSX1400. As I told you earlier, I haven't rode very long trips with it but 200 km trips at any speed are relaxing and I never get tired riding with it. Sometimes when the devil in me takes over and I pass cars on heavy traffic narrow roads I can get a bit sore muscles from the G-forces. It's so fun to accelerate from 100 to 230 km/h and do it again and again and... The power is good, the handling very well (at least when the road's dry, otherwise it gives you an early warning - as I have already told you. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not.) Other purchasing the little wind screen I haven't regretted that I bought a naked bike. What I still want is hard bags to carry more luggage and perhaps I do something with the exhaust pipes to get more power and noise, but actually I'm quite happy with it for now. A sudden release of the the throttle don't surprise me anymore and I'm still happy with the brakes and everything else with the bike. If I had to say something negative, it would be that the bike is is my opinion a bit too civilized to make every trip an adventure. Steering my old GSX750 was a adrenaline kick at every speeds riding a GSX1400 at 200 km/h doesn't give the the same feeling as my 750 gave at 140 km/h. Still, today the old 750 doesn't give me no thrills at all. It's in basement waiting for someone to fix it. I rode my GSX1400 again this afternoon. I purchased a new mobile phone and to test the signal of the operator I rode all the way between Flen and Hälleforsnäs (about 15 km's) with a mobile phone in the other hand and steering with the other. No problems. And the signal was quite good, too, all the way. I'd guess I'm used to the damp roads now.

Client Talking Points
10-Year Treasury yield down a beep this morning to 2.85% (and making a lower-high versus the year-to-date high in September when Bernanke went no-taper). So, if I have to handicap what the bond market thinks versus consensus "economists" (Bloomberg survey just went from 17% on December-taper to 34%), its still no-taper (there's a -133,201 net short position in CFTC futures/options on the 10-year).
The Greenback is down for four straight weeks as Bernanke/Yellen devalue the Dollar. The Euro continues to breakout versus the US Dollar. So on the margin, the currency market thinks no December-taper too, despite there being a bigger net long position in USD than EUR currently.
At +26,774 contracts, this is the lowest net long position (CFTC data) since June of 2007. It sounds about right now that 3.6% US GDP and #RatesRising are old news for 2013. If and when US growth slows in the next 3-6 months Gold could be a good contrarian long if the June 2013 lows of $1200 hold.
Asset Allocation
Top Long Ideas
Company | Ticker | Sector | Duration | ||
Our bullish call on the British Pound was borne out of our Q4 Macro themes call. We believe the health of a nation's economy is reflected in its currency. We remain bullish on the regime change at the BOE, replacing Governor Mervyn King with Mark Carney. In its October meeting, the Bank of England voted unanimously (9-0) to keep rates on hold and the asset purchase program unchanged. If we look at the GBP/USD cross, we believe the UK's hawkish monetary and fiscal policy should appreciate the GBP, as Bernanke/Yellen continue to burn the USD via delaying the call to taper. |
WWW is one of the best managed and most consistent companies in retail. We're rarely fans of acquisitions, but the recent addition of Sperry, Saucony, Keds and Stride Rite (known as PLG) gives WWW a multi-year platform from which to grow. We think that the prevailing bearish view is very backward looking and leaves out a big piece of the WWW story, which is that integration of these brands into the WWW portfolio will allow the former PLG group to achieve what it could not under its former owner (most notably – international growth, and leverage a more diverse selling infrastructure in the US). Furthermore it will grow without needing to add the capital we'd otherwise expect as a stand-alone company – especially given WWW's consolidation from four divisions into three -- which improves asset turns and financial returns. |
Financials sector senior analyst Jonathan Casteleyn continues to carry T. Rowe Price as his highest-conviction long call, based on the long-range reallocation out of bonds with investors continuing to move into stocks. T Rowe is one of the fastest growing equity asset managers and has consistently had the best performing stock funds over the past ten years. |
Three for the Road
Yield Spread (10yr minus 2yr) is a healthy +255bps wide - bullish for the Financials $XLF @HedgeyeFIG
"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself." - George B Shaw
China's annual consumer inflation unexpectedly slowed to 3% in November from an eight-month high of 3.2%, according to the National Bureau of Statistics, easing market fears of any imminent policy tightening as authorities meet this week to outline their policy and reform priorities for 2014. (CNN)
"History tells us that the threat to prosperity is not debt but socialism."
-George Gilder
After a +3.6% US GDP print and back to back bullish monthly surprises on the US employment front, you'd think that America's currency would get a bid. Nope. Why?
Irrespective of December-taper "odds" doubling last week (34% of "economists" in the Bloomberg survey think DEC-taper = #on versus 17% prior), Mr. Macro Market is still telling you that Ben Bernanke will devalue the Dollar for as long as he can.
Since the Fed is both un-elected and unaccountable, would you call this socialism? Whatever you want to call it, not letting free-market prices clear is a threat to the long-term economic prosperity of this country. So make sure to sell some stuff high on that.
Back to the Global Macro Grind…
After 5 consecutive down days, the 2013 US stock market bears got ripped for a +1.12% move on Friday. You either bought-the-damn-bubble #BTDB on red during the -1.2% five-day correction, or you did not. We call this managing the risk of the range.
If @FederalReserve continues to debauch the Dollar, the makeup of what works on US stock market up days will start to change. This is what happened in 2011 in particular. It's also what happened last week:
- Utilities (XLU) = +1.1% on the week
- Consumer Discretionary (XLY) = -0.7% on the week
In other words, Policies to Inflate slow the expectations of future real-inflation-adjusted-economic-growth. This is not new to anyone who lives in the real world – it just annoys the Keynesians.
Here's another way to look at inflation expectations rising in the face of US purchasing power falling:
- US Dollar Index down another -0.5% last week (down 4 straight weeks) to +0.7% YTD
- CRB Commodities Index (19 commodities) +1.4% last week to -5.5% YTD
In other words, if the market expects the Fed to devalue the value of money, it will start to bid up the prices of things you buy with those moneys. Venezuela burned its currency at the stake. Its stock market index is now 2,597,592.25 (+451% YTD). #Cool, eh?
Obviously the USA going back to where we were in 2011-2012 (weak currency and nothing sustainable to speak of from a real-economic growth perspective), would be bad. I don't doubt, for one second, that the Fed can perpetuate that.
To review why we were bullish on US #GrowthAccelerating in 2013:
- PURCHASING POWER: US Dollar was baking in A) fiscal sequestration and B) tapering well into Q313
- INFLATION: #StrongCurrency + #RatesRising would Deflate The Inflation (CPI surprised consensus on the downside)
- GROWTH: from 0.14% in Q412 to +3.6% in Q313, and business expectations cycle took hold
And yes, as business and consumer confidence rose in Q3, fixed investment and inventories rose. It's called a cycle. So did the Savings Rate (5.0% in Q3 vs 4.7% in the prior report). When people have more money, they have more to save too!
The other thing that happened in Q313 that got zero attention from the disingenuous (whining) 2013 perma bears last week was that the DEFLATOR in the US GDP report actually understated GDP growth by almost 0.3%.
After almost hitting a 40-yr low in Q2 (yes that was stimulative for US consumption growth, like it was in Q109), the US GDP Deflator was 1.96%. That was more than a double, sequentially, and +24 basis points higher than MIT's Billion Prices Project inflation rate of 1.72%.
*higher deflator (i.e. more inflation) subtracts from reported GDP growth
Put another way, in our GIP (GROWTH, INFLATION, POLICY) model, provided that the Fed doesn't taper in December, you can pretty much bake the opposite call we've had in the last year into the cake:
- US DOLLAR could start to see more downward pressure into Q114
- INFLATION (both CPI and PPI headline) should bottom, sequentially, in Q413 (rise in Q1)
- GROWTH should slow, sequentially, in Q413-Q114, in kind
So what do you do with that? That's easy. Buy "slower-growth" assets and some inflation protection.
We also like the prospects for European #GrowthAccelerating (see our Q413 #EuroBulls Macro Theme) if EUR/USD continues to strengthen like it did again last week (+0.8% to +3.9% YTD).
You might call some Europeans socialists; but they might just call Americans that now too.

SECOND RWS EXECUTIVE FINED FOR PROVIDING MISLEADING INFORMATION Strait Times
A second Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) executive was dealt with on Friday for her part in misleading the Casino Regulatory Authority (CRA) over the issuance of freebies to gamblers who renewed their annual entry levies. Sim Bee Ling, 31, who is also known as Chernie, was fined $20,000. She had pleaded guilty last week to instructing team leader Thien Lai Foo in mid 2011 to use correction fluid and erase all mention of the giving of Universal Studios Singapore (USS) tickets for annual levy renewals in a briefing book, which is used to communicate instructions to the next shift of employees.
DEADLINE LOOMS FOR PROPOSING CUTS TO SMOKING ZONES Macau Business
Casinos and slot machine parlours that failed the most recent air quality tests have until tomorrow to submit plans to reduce the size of their smoking areas, the Health Bureau says. The 16 gaming establishments that failed the second round of tests must trim their smoking areas by 10%. The bureau is still awaiting proposals from 14 gaming establishments.
This note was originally published at 8am on November 25, 2013 for Hedgeye subscribers.
"Anyone who isn't confused doesn't really understand the situation."
-Edward R. Murrow
That was the closing quote from David Einhorn's most recent quarterly letter. I can't think of one that better summarizes where we are right now in understanding markets. So I'll leave it at that.
Back to the Global Macro Grind…
While he's been quite adept at not violating Rule #1 of investing (don't lose money), that doesn't mean Einhorn shies away from writing about where he could make more money. One of those areas is high short interest stocks.
From a Hedgeye Style Factoring perspective, last week was the 1st week of 2013 where SHORT INTEREST (as a style factor) diverged versus its TREND. We look at these style factors by quartile in the SP500:
- HIGH SHORT INTEREST (as a style factor) was -0.5% last week
- LOW SHORTS INTEREST (as a style factor) was +0.8% last week
In other words, if you're short company that hedge fund consensus (high short interest) doesn't like, the stock actually had a good chance of going down last week. Look at Tesla (TSLA). That's new.
What wasn't new vs. intermediate-term macro TRENDs last week?
- US stocks closing at another all-time high (SP500 = 1804, +26.5% YTD)
- #RatesRising on the 10 yr US Treasury Yield (+4 bps w/w to 2.74% = +99 bps YTD)
- Rate Sensitive "asset classes" (like Gold and REITS) going down on that
In fact, "rate sensitive" was really sensitive last week:
- MSCI REITS (real estate) Index lost another -2.2% going to FLAT 0.0% return for 2013 YTD
- Gold was down another -3.4% on the wk to -26.3% for 2013 YTD
And, to be clear, all those pundits who told you that #RatesRising (tapering) was going to spell the #EOW (end of the world) were dead wrong this year. Wrong is as wrong does.
Would you be wrong to buy anything "rate sensitive" on sale today? Buying any of Bernanke's Yield Chasing Bubbles is not for the faint of heart. While he won't acknowledge the mother of all global commodity inflations (2011-2012), history's score will.
For the YTD here are your Top 5 Deflating of Bernanke's Inflations moves:
- Silver -34.6%
- Coffee -33.0%
- Corn -29.6%
- Gold -26.3%
- Coal -20.3%
I know. I know. At the all-time high in world food prices (2012), there was NO INFLATION. More Jelly Donuts, please.
At the all-time high in commodity inflation expectations (2011), check out our Chart of The Day: the net length of the CFTC (Commodities Futures Trading Commission) non-commercial net long positioning in Gold spanning Bernanke's tenure as Fed overlord:
- John Paulson launches his Gold fund 2010
- EXPECTATIONS PEAK = August 2nd, 2011 = +289,000 net long Gold contracts
- SPOT GOLD PRICE PEAK ($1900.20) = September 5th, 2011
Last week's net long position in Gold fell below < 75,000 net long contracts for only the 2nd time since 2008. Down -15% week-over-week to +71,840 net long contracts, that's down -75% from the expectations peak (not to be confused with the price inflation peak).
Expectations, as Shakespeare wrote, are the root of all heartache. And my guess is that those shorting Gold -1% this morning will have some heartache of their own when we get back from Thanksgiving. So get all wild and crazy today, and buy yourself some. It's "cheap-(er)"!
What is not confusing about Gold is that it trades on expectations. When the market expected interest rates to rise into their YTD peak (January-July 2013), it went down; when the market expected rates to fall (July-September 2013 into no-taper), Gold went up.
Oh, and if you are confused as to whether or not our central planning overlords will allow #RatesRising (and Gold falling) from today's time/price, join the club. Because, eventually, the Fed may very well lose control of that expectation too.
Our immediate-term Global Macro Risk Ranges are now:
UST 10yr Yield 2.69-2.83%
Brent 106.25-111.24
Gold 1226-1266
Best of luck out there today,

Background on this muesli
In 1978, I was diagnosed as having a virtually incurable cancer and was given an average statistical life expectancy of only two and a half years. This diagnosis was made by a prospective cohort study led by professor Karl Lennert, who was working on lymphoma research in Kiel at the time. He sent the results to me personally. Today, this type of cancer is called mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
As a rare B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, it was called centrocytic lymphoma at the time and had a poor prognosis. Two separate tissue samples, taken two weeks apart and examined in four institutions, confirmed beyond doubt that I had this disease.
Given the short life expectancy (even with the best treatment), I refused the recommended treatment completely. After I had thoroughly studied the course of the disease and chances for a cure, I decided to take my own path and work to fight the disease. Today, a bone marrow or stem cell transplantation can in rare cases save a person's life.
I asked myself why lifestyle diseases were occurring more often and earlier in life, especially cancer. The answers to these questions would be too extensive for this article. However, you can find more scientifically based articles on the topic on the diet-health.info website.
Fortunately, I had the type of thrombocytopenia (too few thrombocytes or platelets) that occurs in only one-sixth of patients, which allowed me to monitor the disease by performing a simple blood test. I was diagnosed with stage 3a cancer (cancer staging by Professor G. Martz, University Hospital Zurich).
At the age of 41 and with five children, I had the choice between a very early death and an alternative. I did not deceive myself with false hopes, but uncompromisingly set out on my own path — I never believed in sure success, but rather in the possibility of success.
My conclusion: I would eat only raw food, like all of the other animals do (that can't really afford to have diseases in the wild) and only vegan (no animal products such as eggs, meat, fish, or dairy products). The main problem was that I liked bread so much. I had to find a good alternative.
You see everything here that you will need to prepare Erb Muesli — except the bananas. In the lower right corner, there is an electric grain roller that can be used if you decide not to sprout the grains. Next to the bowl of fruit, you see a citrus juicer that allows you to "grind out" the inside of oranges and lemons instead of just squeezing them. A Biosnacky seed sprouter is to the right of the juicer. (personal photo) |

Very strict vegan raw food only
I was on a strict 100% vegan raw food diet for seven years. And for more than half of that time, I lived in Tenerife, where I developed the organic cultivation of bananas and in the 1980s exported these bananas to Germany (via Schwarzbrot, a wholesaler in Hamburg). By June 1979, my platelet count was down to 102,000. After that, it plummeted to 72,000 and then gradually returned to the normal range.
I want to emphasize that I do not recommend what I went through with cancer to anybody! It is best to instead prevent cancer and other lifestyle diseases. As long as you are still healthy, I recommend that you eat as close to a 100% vegan diet as possible and include as much raw food as you can. The internationally acclaimed book The China Study, written by the highly renowned professor T. Colin Campbell (United States), documented a large-scale study and finally provided proof that this way of life effectively protects against diseases. See the book review book here. Even more important is a review of a book written about the dangers of milk and dairy products.
This is not Erb Muesli. It includes cottage cheese and store-bought rolled oats, both of which are poor choices and completely unnecessary. |
Erb Muesli with sprouted grains
Bircher Muesli is very popular in Europe, but it contains milk as a main ingredient and was therefore out of the question for me. My first muesli was actually based on about 4 tablespoons (35 g) of grains that were sprouted for only 24 hours, along with some freshly mashed or ground seeds. I do not use wheat or rye though as they contain too much gluten. However, sproutable grains or seeds are not readily available everywhere and not everyone wants the extra work (using a Biosnacky seed sprouter). If this is the case, use version 2.
Erb Muesli without sprouting
Two items are required:
1) A manual or electric citrus juicer. Cut a citrus fruit in half and then rotate it back and forth with a twisting motion. I recommend using an electric citrus juicer, which performs the rotations (left and right) automatically. Lemon squeezers should never be used since juice that doesn't contain any pulp causes the fructose to enter the bloodstream too quickly.
2) Grain mill, for example, Dr. Schnitzer's stone flaker/roller, but here again I would recommend an electric grain mill such as Komo FlocMan.
Basic ingredients:
For one serving: 3–4 tablespoons grain mix (30 g, main grains) plus 3 tablespoons seeds (25 g), an orange, half a lemon, a banana, and a larger apple (or 1½ small apples).
Dried bananas can be produced using the solar energy generated by warm water in a second circuit that is controlled by temperature. In the article First Organic Bananas from Tenerife, the 20 Banana Letters, you can read more about how we established and operated our organic banana production in Tenerife. With dried fruits, it is very important that they are dried at a constant temperature of a maximum of 107.5°F (42°C). I actually took samples with me back to Switzerland and ate them 20 years later. If stored properly, dried bananas like these still taste delicious years later. This was also the case with honey we produced; the water content is very crucial since with too little the honey crystalizes quickly and with too much it begins to ferment. |
Translation of text on poster: Bananas from an organic farm on the Canary Islands Note: I had to close down the production, and the company Schwarzbrot in Hamburg no longer exists. |
Grain mix:
We keep our grain mix in a large jar. Then it is ready to use. The mix usually contains about 50% of one main grain, usually oats, and then, for example, 10% each of barley, spelt, sesame seeds, and (important) flaxseed. I usually add some millet, quinoa, and buckwheat.
You can also use barley, spelt, or rye as the main grain, but the oats taste particularly delicious. Why freshly rolled? The rolled oats that you purchase at the store have actually been heated and are not raw. They are heated in order to get rid of bacteria and fungi that would otherwise transform the dead grain back into food for plants (mineralization). See further explanations below. Sproutable (live) grains prevent this process of decomposition and, if properly stored, can last for centuries.
Crush the grain mix and then place in a bowl.
Juice the orange and lemon and add the juice and pulp (important) to the grain mix.
Finely chop the banana and apple(s). Use the apples with the peel (if possible, organic or wash well). The peel contains a lot of beneficial substances that help to strengthen your body's natural defenses. The rolled grain mix will soak up the juice if you follow the ratio given above.
Other ingredients:
Depending on the season, you can add your favorite fruits, such as berries, pineapple, and a few grapes (not too many because of the glucose).
For a finishing touch:
You can add also enhance the muesli by adding spices, but do not use more than one at a time. Instead, use a different spice every day, for example, cinnamon, vanilla, star anise, or freshly grated ginger. If you are not following a strict raw food diet, you can also add a tablespoon of cranberry or rosehip jam or agave nectar.
This muesli can actually keep you feeling full for the whole day since the nutrients are slowly absorbed into the bloodstream — much unlike unhealthy pasta or white bread. This is because of the large amount of fiber it contains. This reduces or eliminates food cravings. But if you want to gain weight, you can add chopped dried dates or nuts (botanical nuts) or dried grapes (raisins, sultanas, currants). Almonds are also very healthy (rich in iron), but we usually eat them separately. We also have a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. Voilà! I don't recommend store-bought orange juice as the sugar it contains is no longer enveloped by cells and therefore quickly enters the bloodstream.
A new life:
We naturally don't drink coffee or black tea — and don't smoke either. You feel so good about life and have more energy and "power" (fit not fat) with this diet that you really won't mind cutting out other more unhealthy foods. Andrew Oswald of the University of Warwick has conducted over 100 studies and concluded that just three to four servings of fruits and vegetables daily lifts a person's mood more than if there income were doubled. There are major differences between food, health food, and junk food (e.g., fructose syrup).
Carbohydrates and confusion |
Carbohydrates are absolutely essential for your health, but they should be contained in natural cells, that is in fiber. Carbohydrates in vegetables and fruits are what the body actually needs. Carbohydrates are central as physiological energy carriers, but also play an important role in biological signaling and recognition processes. An experienced doctor would caution you about the popular low-carb diets. Scientific facts remain disputed as the food industry is very interested in selling as many fat-containing products as possible, which usually also contain too much salt, sugar, and fat. They also have the money to fund studies. See also the movie Forks over Knives by Lee Fulkerson. |
Gluten-free Erb Muesli
Gluten is a problem for some people. The grains usually used in breads, such as wheat (link is slanted toward the industry) and rye, have been bred to contain more gluten so that it is easier to make industrially-produced bread. And people are eating more pasta and bread than ever. These are two reasons why an increasing number of people are suffering from celiac disease (celiac sprue), gluten sensitivity, asymptomatic celiac disease, and dermatitis herpetiformis. In addition, many people experience "ordinary" allergic reactions.
It is still under debate in the medical community whether or not apparently healthy people could benefit from a gluten-free diet. But at the same time, medical professionals use the term "silent or asymptomatic celiac disease." This is representative of the differing opinions experts have about gluten. But since you only find out too late if gluten is harmful, we have been using only gluten-free grains and pseudograins for some time now to make our Erb Muesli.
Rice, wild rice, and corn don't work well for this muesli. The following are suitable grains: millet (sorghum, especially sorghum and sorghum bicolor), and quinoa. These should be sprouted for 24 hours. I like to use tricolor quinoa. We grind the flaxseed (the absolute richest source of omega-3 fatty acids), sesame seeds, and buckwheat in an electric coffee grinder.
Amaranth (Amaranthus, foxtail amaranth, amaranthus caudatus, and Kiwicha) and teff are very small but valuable. Teff is from Ethiopia and is rich in essential fatty acids. Seeds from white goosefoot (chenopodium album) are also a good option, something you might find out if you spend time in India.
Oats (common oat, Avena sativa) may contain traces of gluten if processed with the same machines that are used for wheat or rye, but this is only a problem for people who suffer from celiac disease. People who have celiac disease should eat GF Oats, which are guaranteed to be gluten-free. However, some people with celiac disease also react to the avenin in oats (oat sensitivity). This is a glutelin like the oryzenin in rice, the zeanin in corn, or the hordenine in barley.
If you don't feel you get enough variety by using different types of fruit, oats can provide a nice change of pace. See also the section above in this article on spices. Rice, corn, soy, chickpeas, and chestnuts are also naturally gluten-free as are millet, quinoa, amaranth, buckwheat, and teff.
However, wheat (glutelin), rye, barley, spelt, green spelt, emmer, triticale, Einkorn wheat, and kamut contain gluten.
Left: an electric citrus juicer to make freshly squeezed orange juice in just minutes — the juice contains the pulp. Right: a Biosnacky, a small tool for sprouting seeds that works especially well with grains. But there are many products and methods for sprouting. The ingredients for the muesli should only be sprouted for 24 hours. If you forget to start a new batch, 12 hours is long enough for oats. Personal photo |
Why shouldn't you use store-bought rolled oats?
Oats, as such, are certainly to be recommended. The following quote is from the German Wikipedia entry on rolled oats (Haferflocken): "Rolled oats are a staple food made from oat groats. They contain a high percentage of carbohydrates (about 70%) and protein (about 15%) as well as high levels of unsaturated fatty acids, soluble fiber (about 10 g/100 g), glucans (such as the mucilage lichenin), vitamins B1, B6, and E, zinc, iron, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus. The beta glucan present in oats can lower cholesterol and has positive effects on blood sugar levels."
However, store-bought rolled oats have been processed and treated in many ways, for example, to ensure that they have a longer shelf life. And they are not raw. "After cleaning, the raw grains are first treated with steam for several hours and then dry heat (kiln). This treatment is the reason that rolled oats have their typical nutty flavor. The heat treatment also weakens the activity of certain enzymes (lipases), which would otherwise cause a rancid, bitter taste later during storage. The husks loosen in the course of the drying process and can easily be separated in a drum peeler or centrifugal peeler (formerly between grinding stones). After the husks have been removed, the peeled oat grains are sorted on a paddy table. The husked oat grains then go to a groat cutter, where they are chopped. The rolled oats get their final shape on a flaking machine, where the oat kernels are flattened under extreme pressure between two smooth rollers."
I personally don't agree with the idea that the nutty flavor develops during the steam and heat treatment process and that it wouldn't already be present in freshly crushed grains. The German Wikipedia entry does not explain how the oats are lightly toasted after being flaked, as is described in the English entry on rolled oats: "Rolled oats are traditionally oat groats that have been de-husked, steamed and then rolled into flat flakes under heavy rollers before being stabilized by being lightly toasted. ... Rolled oats that are sold as oatmeal usually have had the tough bran removed, but not always. They have often, but not always, been lightly baked, pressure-cooked or 'processed' in some fashion."
A sad end for my raw food diet
This symbol represents the section at the end of this article, not the one at the beginning. I have photos of what my body looked like on the inside in 1997. Emotional pain like I suffered can also make a person susceptible to cancer, but it often manifests only many years later. I experienced this situation for the second time in 1997; in both cases, the result was cancer. |
In 1985, after seven years on a strict vegan raw food diet, I got to know a woman at my farm in Tenerife and wanted to spend my life with her. But she smoked heavily and I told her that living together would therefore be out of the question. She then gave up smoking completely, but wanted to cook for me. I agreed to this compromise. Our two children were born in 1987 and 1988. We wanted to move to Australia, but unfortunately she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1990.
When there was evidence of metastases, she only half-heartedly tried to switch over to a raw food diet. We lived in Rigi-Kaltbad (resort in the Swiss Alps) at the time. However, she still wanted her daily cup of coffee, and coffee is a product that typically contains Maillard molecules. See also the Wikipedia entry on advanced glycation end products (AGEs).
AGEs are substances that influence the development or exacerbate many degenerative disorders, such as diabetes, atherosclerosis, chronic renal insufficiency, and Alzheimer's disease. These harmful compounds can affect almost every type of cell and molecule in the body, and it is believed that they are a factor in aging and in a number of age-related chronic diseases. Smokers are especially affected by this and roasted products such as coffee are full of them, as are fried and baked products.
In 1997, Margot fell in love with her coffee partner and left us. However, she soon found out that her partner was living with another woman and when given the choice, he chose to end the relationship with Margot. Shortly thereafter, the cancer spread quickly, and Margot died in our home in 1999. Organization Exit (Swiss association that assists people who have terminal illnesses) provided us with assistance during this time.
A new start
At that time, Kathrin (my current wife) and I had established a blended family (stepfamily). Her children had also lost their father.
Kathrin and I in 2000. This photo was enlarged from a photo that was too small (blown up from 282 to 933 pixels). The time that we lived together as a blended family was difficult as our children were traumatized. |
This sad experience affected me to such an extent emotionally that I developed problems with my prostate. On November 23, 2000, I had a PSA (prostate specific antigen) of 18.4 and free PSA of 0.79, in other words a free to total PSA ratio of 0.04! After it was established that bacteria were not the cause, the urologist recommended that I have my entire prostate removed (prostatectomy). A later examination showed that I also had bladder cancer (urothelial papilloma). I refused surgery and treatments in both cases. Instead, Kathrin and I decided to switch back to eating a raw food diet. And on January 23, 2003, my PSA was down to 2.04! The papilloma was stable and down to about half of its original size, but had not disappeared entirely.
I am no longer as strict as I was during this time that I feared death, and we therefore now occasionally have some cooked food when we eat out. As far as the course of this illness is concerned, you could really say "It's a miracle," but I would not recommend the path I took to anyone!
Our typical lunch is a vegetable salad — but we make sure to vary the ingredients and flavors. The salad shown contains avocado, leek, fennel, chicory, yellow bell pepper, some raisins, and apple cider vinegar. |
I wanted to share my story with you to show how emotional pain and suffering can also lead to serious diseases. I have tried to make the best of it, and in 1999 I started a website for radio collectors. The portal is now the world's largest and most used of its kind and shows more than 250,000 different radio models. At the end of 2013, I started work on this website (diet-health.info); my aim is to provide people with scientifically-based information about a healthy lifestyle. I wanted to do this as a way of showing my appreciation that I have been able to go in a positive direction despite the fact that I was diagnosed with a life-threatening disease in 1978 and also have had a number of other problems in my life.

- PCI to USB 3.0 Card
- 480/12/1.5 Mbps Data Transfer Rate
Just BAD 10/21/2012
This review is from: Koutech 4-Port SuperSpeed USB 3.0 PCI Add-On Card Model IO-PU430
It looks nice and the idea is cool...
It is basically not working. I connected it to an empty PCI slot, connected the power cable (tried both SATA and the floppy power cable), installed the provided drivers (which by the way installed "successfully") and everything looked awesome until I connected anything to the USB 3.0 ports (any USB device not only high speed devices; I connected more than 10 different devices). Then, following few seconds, a message appears that basically it cannot recognize whatever I connected to the device. Device manager says that the device cannot start. I spent a full weekend trying to figure this out but I am DONE. I am sending it back...
Other Thoughts:
Just do not buy it...

It has had record takings of �21m after only three weeks in the cinemas. And it took �3.5m from 423 cinemas over the weekend, according to Screen International
Action drama The Mexican, which pairs Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts, is a new entry in the chart at number two with ticket sales of �1.1m. Pitt plays a mobster who must recover an antique pistol called "the Mexican", while Roberts stars as his girlfriend. The reviews have been mixed but most are in agreement that The Sopranos star James Gandolfini steals the show. Family adventure Spy Kids, starring Antonio Banderas, slid from two to three with sales of �837,000.
Seagal plays a tough cop in an inner-city precinct who discovers a web of dirty cops and corruption Helping Seagal's character to find the truth is crime boss Latrell Walker. The film opened at number four with sales of �510,000. Rounding out the top five was the British-produced teen thriller The Hole, which has remained stable in that position. |

This is one for the pedants, and those who just plain like to be different. Which includes me, I'm afraid.
It's a clock utility, which displays the time and date in a nice, clean format which is correct with respect to both numerical and ASCII collation ordering ('YYYYMMDD.hhmmss'), and also displays the time of day as a decimal fraction of the day since midnight. Not that that's an inherently useful thing in itself, but it does satisfy the aesthetic criteria that it be all of simple, consistent and correct, something which the 12-hour and 24-hour clock systems can't claim. And if it's there whenever you glance at the time, you may end up subconsciously osmosing an understanding of the time in decimal.
It's in tk, so should run on any of the supported platforms (I've tried it on Linux, Solaris and Windows 98. Oh, and Windows 2000)

I guess Friday's action was predictable as the Dow was right near the high set only a few weeks ago. So, after a sharp move up, a small retreat was certainly in the cards. I'm not sure it marks a new wave down, but I'd wait for a close above resistance before turning heavily to the bull side.

As for specific stocks, I wanted to look at Yahoo! (YHOO) after all of the hullabaloo about the new chief executive officer. I don't know if she'll be good or bad, but the stock is worth buying if it can eclipse that current triangle to the upside.
Finally, I still believe General Electric (GE) is a bellwether stock and like the Dow it seems to be marking time. Overall, the prospects look bullish, but like Yahoo!, I'd wait before acting.

That's it for this week. I honestly think we're in the "summer doldrums" for now, so expect more choppiness in weeks to come.

Laurence Fishburne Pictures
Critically hailed for his forceful, militant, authoritarian roles, Laurence Fishburne, who is sometimes mistaken for another tall, gap-toothed, mercurial, immensely talented African-American actor, Samuel L. Jackson, came out of the black theater in New York. Born in Augusta, Georgia, on July 30, 1961, Laurence's mother, who taught high school math, transplanted her family to Brooklyn after his parents divorced. At the age of 10, he appeared in his first play, "In My Many Names and Days," at a cramped little theater space in Manhattan. He continued on but managed to avoid the trappings of a child star per se, considering himself more a working child actor at the time. Billing himself as Larry Fishburne during this early phase, he never studied or was trained in the technique of acting.
In 1973, at the age of 12, Laurence won a recurring role on the daytime soap "One Life to Live" (1968) that lasted three seasons and subsequently made his film debut in the ghetto-themed Cornbread, Earl and Me (1975). At 14 Francis Ford Coppola cast him in Apocalypse Now (1979), which filmed for two years in the Phillippines. Laurence didn't work for another year and a half after that long episode. A graduate of Lincoln Square Academy, Coppola was impressed enough with Laurence to hire him again down the line with featured roles in Rumble Fish (1983), The Cotton Club (1984), and Gardens of Stone (1987). Throughout the 1980s, he continued to build up his film and TV credit list with featured roles despite little fanfare. A recurring role as Cowboy Curtis on the kiddie show "Pee-wee's Playhouse" (1986) helped him through whatever lean patches there were at the time.
With the new decade (1990s) came out-and-out stardom for Laurence. A choice lead in John Singleton's urban tale Boyz n the Hood (1991) catapulted him immediately into the front of the film ranks. Set in LA's turbulent South Central area, his potent role as a morally minded divorced father who strives to rise above the ignorance and violence of his surroundings, Laurence showed true command and the ability to hold up any film. On stage, he would become invariably linked to playwright August Wilson and his 20th Century epic African-American experience after starring for two years as the eruptive ex-con in "Two Training Running." For this powerful, mesmerizing performance, Laurence won nearly every prestigious theater award in the books (Tony, Outer Critics Circle, Drama Desk and Theatre World). It was around the time of this career hallmark that he began billing himself as "Laurence" instead of "Larry."
More awards and accolades came his way. In addition to an Emmy for the pilot episode of the series "Tribeca," he was nominated for his fine work in the quality mini-movies The Tuskegee Airmen (1995) (TV) and Miss Evers' Boys (1997) (TV). On the larger screen, both Laurence and Angela Bassett were given Oscar nominations for their raw, seething portrayals of rock stars Ike and Tina Turner in the film What's Love Got to Do with It (1993). To his credit, he managed to take an extremely repellent character and make it a sobering and captivating experience. A pulp box-office favorite as well, he originated the role of Morpheus, Keanu Reeves' mentor, in the exceedingly popular futuristic sci-fi The Matrix (1999), best known for its ground-breaking special effects. He wisely returned for its back-to-back sequels.
Into the millennium, Laurence extended his talents by making his screenwriting and directorial debut in Once in the Life (2000), in which he also starred. The film is based on his own critically acclaimed play "Riff Raff," which he staged five years earlier. In 1999, he scored a major theater triumph with a multi-racial version of "The Lion in Winter" as Henry II opposite Stockard Channing's Eleanor of Acquitaine.
On film, Fishburne has appeared in a variety of interesting roles in not-always-successful films. Never less than compelling, a few of his more notable parts include an urban speed chess player in Searching for Bobby Fischer (1993); a military prisoner in Cadence (1990); a college professor in Singleton's Higher Learning (1995); a CIA operative in Bad Company (1995/I); the title role in Othello (1995) (he was the first black actor to play the part on film); a spaceship rescue team leader in the sci-fi horror Event Horizon (1997); a Depression-era gangster in Hoodlum (1997); a dogged police sergeant in Clint Eastwood's Mystic River (2003); and a spelling bee coach in Akeelah and the Bee (2006). Lately, he has contributed his own special brand of star power to the already-established TV hit series "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" (2000).
Earning multiple NAACP Image awards for his contribution to the entertainment business, he has two children, Langston and Montana, from his first marriage to actress Hajna O. Moss, who appeared with him in the films Gardens of Stone (1987) and A Rage in Harlem (1991). In September, 2002, Fishburne married Cuban-American actress Gina Torres.

There's something different about taking the train.

PA, please send the Clintons back to the primordial ooze from where they were spawned. They are corrupt and power mad.
Howard Dean needs to shut his friggin pie hole. Let this fight drag on.
Hillary fighters for America.
Hillary stay in the race if you choose to but please stick to the issues. Thats what we Americans want and deserve.
Hillary Flip-Flops on MoveOn.org. Check out Meet the Press for her OWN WORDS!
The DNC (and Howard [Dean] the coward) are spineless. They can't enforce anything. Screw them. Let this fight drag on.
Enough already!
Note to undecided voters: If the math and the possibility is against Hillary and the fact that she must win the next 10 elections by 65% to break even with Obama, I would ask that you not throw your vote away and cast your vote for Obama as we must have a united Democratic party!
"Yes, yes, yes," she said when pressed about Obama's electability during a campaign ... debate
Yes he can.
Yes he will.
Yes WE will.
Obama '08
I guess hypocrite Obama is just politics as usual...but of course that's because it is Clinton's fault and we are all racist too.
I can only hope that the voters of PA will vote for Obama and finally end this nasty race.
Please! draw a parallel between Hillary
and these women from the Polygamist camp in TX!
Their VALUES are SIMILAR! (if NOT the SAME!)
Clinton's a goon. Fortunately, she's already lost.
CNN dont keep me awaiting in moderation:
What is the Pope doing here??? Doesn't he know this is election season? What? He thinks all Americans are Catholic? How dum. DO us a favor, stay in the Vatican and let su Americans continue to watch our beloved Hillary. Period.
Please post.
Is the Pope running for president too? Is he on the campaign trail? What is he doing? The spotlight needs to be on Hillary... not HIM.
Get a clue, CNN.
Howard Dean....This is no longer good for the party. It needs to end or we might as well just hand things over to McCain. You know it is getting bad when you have Mitt trying to take a few sucker punches....lol
CNN--you are definitely censoring the posts from readers-shame on you. If you can't be honest-get out of the business.
Obama and Clinton are BOTH better choices than McSame.
Chime in if you're willing to make the following pledge:
I solemnly swear that I will vote for WHICHEVER democrat is on the ballot in November.
Obama, No Drama.
both Hillary & Obama lost my vote.
Oh, let's also not forget that Hillary so-called "INEVITABLE" campaign has run out of eligible donors and money, is lagging in popular vote, delegates, states won, money raised....
All because she thought she'd be the nominee BY FEBRUARY. What a pompous jerk.
Hillary's campaign is run into the ground just the same way Bush's Iraq war has been: they are both QUAGMIRES.
I wish people would get it right. When Bill was running it was Billary. With Hillary runnig it's now Hillbilly.
No matter what the Clintons campain can say, Americans chose already their President. We are tired of old fashion politics.
Obama for President!
I can't wait till November and all this is over.
Pay attention to the news in IRAQ – The Iraqi government is ordering the US military to stand down.
McCain – why don't you tell us again how the surge is working.
CNN – shame on you for always "reporting" on the tit-for-tat stuff.
Nothing is more disgusting than Obama's politics. You cannot even characterize it as old or new. He is running an American idol contest not a campaign.
Democrates UNITE!!!!

News for Wizards of Waverly Place
Now, this is a magical reunion. It looks like Selena Gomez had quite the memorable Saturday night when she spent it in with her childhood co-star from Wizards of Waverly Place, her... ...Read More...
We talked with David about his Starburst gig, and he also shared some juicy intel about HIMYM, Wizards, and former co-star Selena Gomez.
By Megan Walsh-Boyle
Talk about ending on a high note! Having charmed audiences for five seasons as the dim-witted but adorable goofball youngest member of the Russo clan on the Disney Channel hit Wizards of Waverly Place, Jake T. Austin closes that chapter in his career by being nominated as Favorite TV Actor at this year's 2013 Kids' Choice Awards. We asked the 18-year-old star about the honor and what's next now that Wizards is done.
Congratulations on the nomination! Thank you so much! I was really excited to hear about it and it's a huge honor to be selected. I'm glad kids were watching and enjoying what we were doing on [Wizards]. This is the first time I'm getting nominated. I've attended the show before and it's a cool experience and being nominated is really awesome.
Is there anyone you are hoping to meet at the ceremony on March 23? The athletes at the event are who I look forward to seeing. Hopefully players like Joe Johnson and some Los Angeles guys will make it out there.?
Your Wizards costar Selena Gomez is also nominated. After the success of the March 15 reunion special [The Wizards Return: Alex vs. Alex drew 5.9 million viewers] any chance you'll be getting together to film another one? I would definitely be open to itI would love to do that! Getting to work with someone as talented as Selena is a great opportunity for me. We all try to stay in touch. It's hard with our schedules to get everyone in the same place, but whenever we're all in the same city we try to make it a point.
Word is you have a new series coming up… The Fosters premieres June 3 on ABC Family. It's an hour drama that's executive produced by Jennifer Lopez. It basically follows the misadventures of a same-sex couple and their foster children.
What kind of situations will this family face? The show covers real-life situations and it's heavy on drama, but can be light at times.
Who do you play? I play Jesus Foster, who has a biological twin sister [portrayed by Cierra Ramirez of The Secret Life of the American Teenager] and they have been abandoned by their biological mother. He's a protective older brother. He's dealing with the ups and downs of home life and school.
It sounds like The Fosters will give you a chance to stretch as an actor and show fans another side of you… It's definitely a stretch away from Wizards, but hopefully it's a way to grow as an actor. Being able to work with an actress like Teri Polo is really cool and is making me better as an actor. I'm loving being in the business. Every day for me is a new lesson. I feel very blessed. I've been fortunate.

These days, when TV shows are canceled, it's relatively rare for the gang to get back together again -- but Selena Gomez loved her "Wizards of Waverly Place" fans enough to clear her schedule even after the show aired its series finale on Disney. Alex and the Russos are returning in the upcoming Disney Channel original movie "The Wizards Return: Alex vs. Alex," set to air Friday, March 15 at 8 p.m. EST.Unfortunately, David Henrie, who played Selena's character's brother Justin, will not be returning -- he had a scheduling conflict with another movie. Luckily, though, that leaves room for double the Alex! Yep, our girl is battling her evil twin in this movie, a nice departure from the usually (mostly) wholesome Alex we're used to seeing.We'll also see "Awkward" star Beau Mirchoff do his best to woo Alex as her new love interest, the Italian heartthrob Dominic. Might her evil twin prefer Dominic to... http://blog.zap2it.com/frominsidethebox/2013/01/wizards-of-waverly-place-reunion-movie-trailer-selena-gomez-in-alex-vs-alex.html
More than a year after the Wizards of Waverly Place hung up their wands, the show returns to Disney Channel with a one-hour special on Friday, March 15 at 8/7c. Selena Gomez is back to star in and executive produce the event, dubbed The Wizards Return: Alex vs. Alex.
In the special, the Russo family and pals travel to Tuscany, Italy, to meet relatives. But while attempting to prove that she's serious about her craft as a wizard, Alex (Gomez) accidentally conjures up a spell that splits her personality into two — a Good Alex and an Evil Alex. The two dueling Alexes eventually battle over the fate of her family and mankind atop the Tower of Pisa. http://www.tvguide.com/News/Wizards-Waverly-Place-Reunion-1059494.aspx?rss=breakingnews

Sheesh, I just may get enough for my dogleg bed on the border! Thats where the new plants are going! Moved those fromthe greenhouse this morning.. Looks like the turtle heads are going to go to IRISH. I took some cuttings of the coleus. Momma Kong looks like a bloom is forming. I need to transplant some of the coleus cuttings already. Thansk for reminding me by asking. I have 37 hanging cherry tomatoes. Guess time will tell how they do. Yup, water them just about daily and they have plenty of organic manure in them and so far looking nice and healthy. Cant wait to see them hanging over! I also have about a dozen beefer tomatoes in pots.. jeez, I dont know what to do with those yet....should I bump them to bigger pots or plant them? I only had a few begonias and their cuttings are not doing as well. Might have a couple new plants. Terri, have you tried them as houseplants? Like keeping them through winter? I just pruned my snaps back and hope they get bushy now. Well weather wise we had your London fog. Could hardly see this morning and it is slow to lift. Hope it does not get humid. Finally got my new fern planted and I dug out a daylily that I have had for 5 or 6 years now and has not done squat. It was Blueberry Sundae and was amorphadite plant. Dang too because I paid good money for it and it has never grown or bloomed. Soooo very disappointed. Well, guess I better get digging.. I feel like I am doing exersizes. 1-2-3-4-5 more stella to go... then I am gonna have to start replanting them .. right now, the divides are only going to pots. .... heres KONG, last I shot it! |
