Coulson and Hill have been buddy-captured. Masters is there, too. Like a bitch.
The last thing they remember is the alarm. Loud. Blaring. An interrogation.
But they weren't the ones being interrogated. Men had moved to their aid. There'd been noises; vague noises that felt more echoed than real. Voices. Some familiar, some unfamiliar. And smog. Or was it smoke? Lots and lots of smoke.
The assailants had cheated. That much was undeniable.
A heavy feeling weighs on the minds of both Maria and Coulson. The air still feels thick — wrought with something, or else, perhaps their minds just required further sharpening.
They, rather ironically, find themselves bound to two chairs next to one another. And a third party bound next to them. Anthony Masters is still out and down for the count. A drip of drool edges the corner of his mouth and he snores quietly. The drugs haven't quite worn off for the blonde field agent.
The three chairs rest in front of a large screen on the opposite wall, and cement lines the entirety of the room — including what looks like a very heavy door. A vent at the top of the room has been duct taped shut for some reason. Cameras face the pair in the corners of the room, positioned to watch the trio and ensure their actions are recorded.
Maria awakes groggily, head lolling from side to side as she attempts to come rouse her senses. Her mind is thick and thoughts come through a thick sheet. That is unacceptable. With a jerk, she yanks on her restraints. The chair shakes one way and then another. The sound echoes against the walls. She takes deep breaths to try and clear her mind of whatever it is controlled it. Though her tongue feels thick in her mouth, she leans her head back to see the blurry but unmistakable head of Coulson behind her. "Coulson. Coulson. Wake up." her word come out soft and then too loud.
"This can't get worse," she groans. And then, her head looks to the side to see Masters tied next to them. She sighs. It is worse.
Again, she tests the bonds and pulls at them, eyes take in the screen and the cameras. Her eyes narrow.
"Unfortunately, I'm already awake." The equally unmistakable voice of a gently put-upon Agent Coulson. "And, with all due respect, I could've suggested you don't say that." Worse. It's like the SHIELD call-sign. It just usually doesn't happen on their own territory— quite so often, or so viciously. He thought maybe he'd been having some nice smoke-bomb dreams. Vacation in Tahiti.
Unlike Maria, he visibly tests nothing; only returns the cameras' unflinching observation with the same gentle preoccupation of a person who's merely forgotten where they left their keys.
A woman of action, Maria hates to be tied to a desk in a figurative sense. In a literal one? Well, at least that means there's escape to hopefully be had and then people to blame for it later. Other than Masters. "Well, someone was going to say it. And I think I'd rather it was me than Masters." Her eyes scan the area. "Any clues as to where we are?"

CEN Suite
As the pioneer of the CEN suite, the CEN application was conceived to assist the Customs enforcement community in gathering data and information for intelligence purposes. This module acts as a central depositary for enforcement-related information; its success resting squarely on the steady flow of quality data provided by all WCO Members.
An updated version of the CEN application was introduced in 2011. At its core is a database of seizures and offences as well as pictures required for the analysis of illicit trafficking in the various areas of Customs' competence. A communication component facilitates cooperation between users at the international level, while the CEN website gives them the possibility to consult various enforcement-related publications such as alerts, analytical reports and informational bulletins.
In a constant effort to improve the application, new functions and features are periodically introduced to make the system increasingly user-friendly. From its accessibility via all browsers, automatic password expiry notifications, to a powerful search function for cases or photos, the ability to extract the search results to an Excel spread sheet or upload a large number of cases at once via the automatic upload capability, the CEN application is developing to meet the needs of users across the globe, who contribute ideas on a daily basis into the CEN discussion forum.
The CEN application is essentially an analytical tool. Its functions allow users to mine data, which is crucial in terms of defining strategies, preparing risk indicators and identifying trends. The MS Access database that can be downloaded from the CEN, while the in-built statistics feature makes it easy to convert this data into tangible results. Intelligence is a vital element of enforcement, and the CEN application enables all WCO Members to access a critical mass of information which forms the basis of intelligence.

I have been hounding my brother lately about helping me to find some masculine fabrics. I have been toying with the idea of making a quilt for him and I also would like to make some quilts in the future that are geared a little more toward men. Every line that I have showed him that I thought might work has gotten a laugh. I finally thought to show him the Mario Quilts that I keep seeing pop up in blogland. As a self processed computer geek, he LOVED them! Soooo, now I have another quilt to add to my current list of works in progress. I simply have to figure out which characters I want to include and get to work. His birthday is at the end of March and his house should be almost done being built at that time so it may be a combination birthday and housewarming gift.
I didn't get much time to sew this weekend as The Husband was out of town, but I did get to spend some quality time with Squeak. We went to a birthday party that was held at a local cheer gym and Squeak even made a little friend, J, who we will be setting up a play date with in the near future.
Then we headed to the local Deluxe Indie Craft Fair. It was even better than I had hoped. It was supposed to be a scouting mission but I did break down and buy a couple of things. All of the items are handmade and it is a juried show so I'm thinking it might be a little more my style than some of the shows I've gone to in the past. Now I just have to make some items to submit cross my fingers. I've already started compiling a list of the items I would like to take. The booths were very small and cramped so I will have to take limited inventory. I did also find some great vendors that I look forward to buying from in the future.
The Husband is due back tonight and I will be able to get back to work again. I've fallen behind on all of my orders (and everything else, eek!) so I need to get caught up and I really want to finish my How Far Will You Go Quilt this week.
I did rearrange a little from the original layout (I didn't want any of the same blocks near each other if at all possible) and I still have 2 20" blocks and 2 10" blocks. After a trip to JoAnn's to get more pink fabric, as well as some of the dark brown for the backing, and batting and I'm all set to finish it up. I am ashamed to say I have been using the polyester batting in my previous projects but I have upgraded to a soft, dense cotton for this quilt.
I've made a little progress on some other small projects, but more on those later this week :)

The chorus was a constant. "We're top of the league," sang the Chelsea contingent in the Sir Bobby Charlton Stand. And so Chelsea are, but their advantage has been trimmed to four points by the combination of a surging Tottenham and a seemingly weakened but impressively strong Manchester United side. The Premier League has a title race.
It also has a battle to finish in the top four. Jose Mourinho had seemed to prioritise the Europa League, the sense United had abandoned hopes of a top-four finish apparently epitomised by the sight of Ashley Young wearing the captain's armband. But the manager had surprise on his side; His starting XI had no Zlatan Ibrahimovic, no Henrikh Mkhitaryan, a change of shape and of skipper.
Mourinho fielded a back three, a tactic he had only previously used against Rostov and Middlesbrough. It ranked as a greater surprise, as Marcos Rojo and Eric Bailly appeared to be the only fit centre-backs he trusted. They were joined by Matteo Darmian and kept a clean sheet with comparatively few alarms.
Chelsea struggled to counter Mourinho's 3-5-2 formation, conceding goals to Marcus Rashford and Ander Herrera. If Mourinho outwitted Antonio Conte, just about every United player outperformed his Chelsea counterpart. This was only the leaders' third defeat in 26 league matches since Conte adopted his 3-4-2-1 formation. It was also the most emphatic. Apart from winning the EFL Cup, this was arguably United's finest day under Mourinho.
United have now gone 22 league games unbeaten since the 4-0 thrashing at Stamford Bridge that represented one of the lowest points of Mourinho's career. Yet if that revival had stalled among draws, this was that most gratifying of wins. Not least, of course, for the former Chelsea manager in the United dugout.
United had been slow starters this season. Rashford's strike here was their first goal in the opening 20 minutes of a home league game all campaign. It was one reason the atmosphere was transformed. So, too, was the forward line.
Rashford seized his opportunity in more ways than one. He angled a shot past Asmir Begovic after being released by Herrera, who took a brief break from his main task to turn creator.
Herrera was handed a man-marking job on Eden Hazard despite his dismissal at Stamford Bridge for two fouls on the Belgium international. He collected another caution for fouling Chelsea's creator-in-chief while the opponents felt he veered into the illegal again, regaining possession when he handled before releasing Rashford. If United thought Herrera was unlucky in their FA Cup tie, fortune favoured him here. His handball went unpunished. His goal took a telling deflection. This was nevertheless a cathartic occasion for the midfielder, who was celebrated by the United faithful for a colossal contribution.
Rashford, for his part, had gone 20 games and more than six months without scoring in the league before striking at Sunderland last weekend. Even the quickest of routes to the top can feature roadblocks, but after finding a way past a personal barricade, Rashford has found the way to goal again. When he thumped a shot into the side netting, many at Old Trafford thought he had a second of the afternoon. He could have ended up with a hat trick.
In a season when few have troubled David Luiz, Rashford was the exception. The key was separating him from his fellow centre-backs, making the Brazil international look fallible. In an instant, Rashford offered reminders of the similarly sharp Javier Hernandez's goal against Chelsea in 2011, another moment when Luiz struggled.
Ibrahimovic has proved more prolific, but he is also more static. This was a choice between opposites: young and old, fast and slow, starlet and superstar. Mourinho went for the usual understudy. As the standing ovation when Rashford was eventually replaced by Ibrahimovic illustrated, he was justified.
It can take one injury to disrupt a team with genuine chemistry. Liverpool have offered evidence of that this season. So did Chelsea, when a well-oiled machine was stripped of a key cog. If Sadio Mane has tended to figure highly in lists of the league's most irreplaceable players, this game suggested Marcos Alonso represents a rival.
Alonso had started 25 consecutive league games, including every match in which Conte had used his 3-4-2-1 formation. That sequence came to an abrupt halt when he was injured in the warm-up. Enter Kurt Zouma. Cesar Azpilicueta switched to the left, but it deprived Chelsea of an attacking threat on the flank. Then, Conte moved the Spain international to the right, bringing Victor Moses over to the other flank. Only half an hour had elapsed and the manager was already on to Plan C. When Moses was substituted, Azpilicueta swapped wings again and Chelsea adopted a back four.
Their problem, in part, was that whatever the personnel and shape, they lacked a cutting edge. Diego Costa had not gone four Premier League games without scoring until this month. Now his drought extends to five.
There are echoes of Chelsea's title-winning campaign under Mourinho, when Costa started the season with a flurry of goals and was rather less prolific in the run-in.
On this occasion he represented a menace, just not to the United goal. Instead, with his touch seeming faulty, the striker resumed his role as the pantomime villain, shoving Antonio Valencia into the post. Cheers greeted his eventual booking for clipping Paul Pogba. Costa and Rojo, who had fought a physical battle at Stamford Bridge in the FA Cup last month, both ended up on the ground and in seeming pain after clashing when they went for a header. Costa took the chance to resume a dialogue with referee Bobby Madley. The Stretford End told him in no uncertain terms to go away.
Even when Herrera went to ground after another penalty-box altercation, Costa escaped a red card. He often does, but Chelsea could do with him devoting more time to pursuing goals and less to continuing feuds in the next few weeks.

So there I was,at this joint on the south side of town. It was a hot, sticky night and all I wanted was a break from the heat… and to be left alone. The bartender just looked at me, so I said, "Give me a whiskey and coke, hold the coke, make it a double and keep em coming." I had a lot of thinking to do and this wasn't the time to do it. The bartender grunted, turned around, and poured some whiskey into a glass and set it in front of me. There is an art to ordering a drink and if I don't get anything else right in this life, at least I got that.
That's when she walked in. Dark hair, dark eyes and dark skin, with long legs and nails. To be honest, she was beautiful. I was hooked and there was no turning back. But I didn't let on. I kept my hands and eyes on my drink. I held my breath even though her sweet, sultry scent filled my nostrils and swirled around my brain.
The bar was empty but she took the seat right next to mine. She fumbled around in her purse, clumsily pulled out a cigarette and put it between her lips. She leaned over and touched my arm. Electricity pulsed through my body and lit a fire in my gut. I turned to find her staring into my eyes, "What's a girl gotta do to get a light in this place," she asked. Without taking my eyes off of her, I pulled out my lighter and flicked it alive. But I hesitated. . . Because sometimes you're lighting a cigarette, and sometimes you're lighting a fuse.

Lovely item showing the gorgeous Adams Sisters singing 'Underneath The Blue'.
Short Summary
No titles. The Adams Sisters.
Probably filmed in the Pathe Studio, London.
M/S of the Adams Sisters - three attractive young girls wearing gorgeous 1920s frocks (satin bodices with tiered tulle skirts). They are two blondes and a brunette and sing a medium tempo love song which is probably called 'Underneath The Blue'.
Very charming - excellent example of late 20s girl singers (as well as fashion, hairstyles and make-up). On the last note they all put their heads to one side - cute. Fade out.
Fade in to M/S of one of the blonde Adams Sisters in a spotted blouse, sash and shorts, doing a fast tap dance on ballet points (piano accompaniment - unseen). C/U of her toes bashing away on the floor. She has a great 20s bob hairstyle. The number speeds up towards the end and the girl finishes up on one point - ta da!
Note: film slips out of rack towards end of both turns.
Note: item is out of synch throughout due to early sound recording.

Helena with her series of Liverpool prints
Helena Markson: A Sense of Place is a new display of prints at the Walker Art Gallery. The display coincides with the launch of a new book about Helena's work, written by Emma Mason. In this blog, Emma tells us how she came across Helena's work:
"Back in 2013 I received a phone call about printmaker Helena Markson (1934-2012). Irene, Helena's sister was calling to say that Helena had died unexpectedly the year before and Irene was sorting out her studio and wanted our advice. I knew a little about Helena and we had some of her etchings in our gallery. As with many post war printmakers, Helena's work had been overlooked in recent years and I was keen to find out more about her.
I drove up to Helena's home in Essex to meet Irene. I could only just find space to sit with the room full with over fifty years of printmaking; bold, colourful, beautifully made prints.
Irene asked me to take on Helena's work for the gallery and the next week I drove back to Essex returning with the car full of Helena's archive. In it I was delighted to see not only her prints but also meticulous notes. It was like looking through a history of printmaking in post war Britain. Helena's notes became the basis for my book: A Sense of Place: The Art of Helena Markson.
Some of Helena's best-known prints are of Liverpool so I contacted the Walker Art Gallery. It was great to discover they hold a number of Helena's prints in their collection.
The Liverpool prints were made in the 1960s when the city was going through great change. Architect, Graeme Shankland was City Planner of Liverpool at the time overseeing the renewal of the city (this led to many of the old buildings, wharfs and factories being pulled down). Shankland asked Helena to make a series of etchings to document Liverpool's changing urban landscape. Here's what she said:
"Liverpool is a unique city with its great contrasts of activities and array of architecture. The historical context was both enlightening and stimulating where for me the buildings became the persona in human terms as expressed in the images – 'dramatis personae'."
Helena not only made beautiful work but was also part of a printmaking renewal in Britain in the 1950s and 60s. She worked alongside Birgit Skiold at the first open-access print workshop in London and was one of only a few women to show prints in exhibitions at the time.
I feel that Helena's story is an important one, and hope that you enjoy seeing her beautiful prints in the gallery."
A Sense of Place: The Art of Helena Markson by Emma Mason is published by Bread and Butter Press. Available from bookshops or online.
Emma Mason opened Emma Mason Prints in 2004.The gallery specialises in original prints by artists working in Britain from the post-war years to the present day. Emma Mason Prints hold Helena Markson's archive of prints, including work for sale.

Trust is a pivotal tool consumers use to sort and prioritize the gargantuan amount of information they find online.
About.com's "The Trust Factor" Study recently identified trust as crucial in consumer-brand relationships and a key driver in decision-making. The Trust Factor found that the existence of trust drives consumer decisions, with 84% of respondents reporting they will not engage with a brand until trust has been established.
"With the high volume of information at consumers' fingertips, not only is trust a valuable filter, it is a prerequisite for consumers to even enter the purchase funnel," said Laura Salant, director, research, About.com. "By understanding how consumers view trust and what they value most, marketers can tailor their outreach to deliver meaningful information to create authentic, long-lasting relationships."
71% of consumers trust brands that provide useful info without trying to sell them something.
"Beyond the fact that content marketing powers Social Media, search and sales, marketers must use content marketing because consumers don't trust advertising." says Heidi Cohen, digital and direct marketing expert at New York Times Digital.
Consumers consider content marketing in the form of editorial content (whether from a blog or Social Media platform), as more trustworthy than advertising. There is no more broadcasting of untrustworthy messages to a mass audience. Brilliant content marketing is void of promotion; nowhere does it scream "buy from us!". It's a human voice that relays information and answers customers seek, thereby enhancing its credibility.
Content marketing is the antidote for consumers' lack of trust in advertising.
I was fascinated by a recent Stephen Colbert interview with former Ambassador to China and current Utah Governor John Huntsman where he speaks of a"Trust Deficit" permeating throughout our culture. I find this "Trust Deficit" happens readily when someone is faced with a buying decision. No trust built equals no sale made.
The very reason Social Media, blogs and online ratings sites were born is because people don't trust advertising messages. They want to hear from people like themselves – their trusted network. Our purchase decisions are based on the feedback we get from our friends and family and being connected through technology has made it that much easier.
One of the best ways to attract new customers and connect with repeat customers is to offer relatable, helpful and shareable content. It's what sets you apart from the rest of the pack and leaves your competition wondering how it happened.
Content marketing is your BFF when it comes to establishing consumer trust.
I've had my blog for over 2 years now, consistently posting 2 times per week, and it's the single-most reason for my credibility and why I get leads. For dealerships, creating and maintaining a blog requires planning and people. It's a matter of finding those quality people within your organization and allowing them to share remarkable content they find or create.
Here are 5 tips to get your content marketing's trustworthiness on track:
- Display respect, care and consideration for employees and customers. When it comes to good manners, the rules still apply from back when you learned them in kindergarten. Always keep in mind that customers observe how you treat your employees and others connected with your organization.
- Be open where appropriate about your store's business practices. What you write, post and share shows everything someone needs to know about your business. Keep confidential information private but when applicable, let employees and customers "inside the circle". Displaying a clear motive along with your good faith practices is a welcome sight in this world of truthiness.
- Build engagement by using every opportunity to solve consumers' large and small challenges. 85% trust brands that use content to inform or help them with a need.
- Seek effective content creators who intimately know your brand. Enlist regular front-line personnel, your customers and New Media experts to create and present your content. No one watches your brand like you do so make sure what's being said is consistent with organization's values.
- Deal with negativity quickly and decisively. Turn negative remarks and reviews into positive experiences. First and foremost, don't ignore anything that's being said about you. How you handle conflict with one customer allows your whole network to witness it, thereby showing them what to expect should something happen to them.
Your Turn: How has your content marketing developed trust with your customer? What results have you had with respect to trust and buying decisions?

What kind of special informal thing helped them?

A bereaved mother will finally have a place to remember her lost daughter after 30 years
Elizabeth Begbie didn't know the sex of her baby when her little one's heart stopped beating at 20 weeks. Plans for a new memorial will finally give her a place to go and remember.
Tommy's news, 24/01/2017
Plans to create a new memorial in Princes Street Gardens in Edinburgh will finally give many bereaved parents somewhere to commemorate their lost littles ones.
Elizabeth Begbie went into early labour at 20 weeks after being told the sad news that her baby had passed away.
'They said to me the baby had been dead inside of me for a while. They didn't go on about movement a lot 30 years ago and it was my first baby, I didn't know.'
Once the baby was born, the body was taken away and Elizabeth wasn't even told the baby's sex. She later found out that she had had a girl.
'In those days, you didn't question things. My husband asked if we should arrange a funeral but the hospital said they would deal with things. I was shut off and left lying in this room. I could hear crying babies. No one came to speak to me. I was just devastated, in shock. Then the nurse came and said, 'You can go now.''
Elizabeth struggled to cope after the loss of her baby and went on to suffer another miscarriage.
Her third pregnancy led to the birth of her first son Alastair, and two subsequent pregnancies gave her sisters Victoria and Samantha.
The joy of having these children helped Elizabeth cope with her grief, but she never forgot the first baby she lost.
Following the Mortonhall scandal in 2011 where a crematorium was using a mass grave for the babies' ashes, Elizabeth decided to investigate what had actually happened to her daughter's body.
After a lengthy process, Elizabeth discovered that the baby was taken from the original hospital to the city's sick children hospital and cremated.
Upon the decision to create a memorial for bereaved mothers and fathers, Elizabeth was one of the parents consulted over the design of the new bronze memorial.
She is appreciative of the fact that there will finally be a place for her to go for a walk and remember her daughter.
We are pleased that plans for this memorial are finally in place. It will hopefully give some solace to families who were deprived the opportunity to grieve properly.
If you have suffered the heartache of loss and want ideas of how you can commemorate your baby's life, you can read our page about different ways of remembering your baby after a miscarriage.
Holding a ceremony or creating an in-memory page can be a comforting way of remembering your baby who was born sleeping. We have collaborated here ideas on how you can remember your baby, with examples of what other parents have done to commemorate their little ones.

Alan Murphy is living large.
His Belted Kingfisher photo is on our August 2008 cover, and that's a repeat appearance for the Texas-based bird photographer. Murphy's photo of a bright red Vermilion Flycatcher appeared on our June 2008 cover, making him only the second photographer to have images appear on two consecutive Birder's World covers. (George Stewart was the first, with cover images on our December 1995 and February 1996 issues.)
If you've read my previous Field of View post about Murphy, you know that his great shots are no accident. He knows birds, has excellent photographic technique and he's willing to wait many hours for the right shot. That was the case with this kingfisher, photographed during a recent winter near Houston, at a small private pond to which he had full access.
He knew about the bird's preference for perches surrounded by water and its wariness toward humans, so he had to figure out how to get close without chasing it off. "They fly off screaming if you go near them, so I knew it would be a long-term project," said Murphy.
After observing the kingfisher's hunting habits from afar, he came up with a plan. He waded into the lake and set up a moss-covered log perch near the shore. "The perch is bolted onto a Christmas tree stand, submerged in the water and weighted down with cinder blocks." He set up a tent blind and left it there for three weeks for the bird to become acclimated. He had to enter the blind before sunrise to shoot. "If they see you, they'll leave and you're done for the day."
Besides a perch, Murphy also provided bait. He built open-topped mesh pens for minnows, and set them on cinder blocks just below the perch, thinking the minnows would attract the kingfisher. "The only issue with this is you have to be careful what species of fish you're putting in a lake." This particular pond, he said was to be drained for a construction project. In total, Murphy said he spent three weeks planning and sat for 40 hours in the blind.
But the minnows were just extra work for Murphy. "I discovered they had no part in the success of this shot at all," he recalled. "The kingfisher would look down at the minnows but would not go for them. It never took one." -- E.M.

Got a new dog this weekend! He's a 3 year old English coonhound that we adopted from a shelter in Ohio. We've named him Curzon Dax.
He's settling in very nicely. Super duper friendly and is getting along well with our other coonhound.
We were expecting him to be completely untrained but it seems like someone actually did spend some time working with him. He walks nicely on the leash, already is crate trained, and seems to understand that he's expected to go to the bathroom when taken outside, though we're still working on some peeing-in-the-house issues.
And just like our other coonhound, he loves to bask in the heat.

Let me start instance by instance. First of, Throne of the Four Winds. There was this shaman, Azmara. He was generally pretty horrible. However, on the Conclave encounter, he would just f**king shine bright like a diamond, as Rihanna would say. His position was on Wind platform and for those who don't know the fight, the wind boss has a wind beam kind of spell, like C'thun beam or Mimiron's barrage etc, where you just have to move along in order to avoid it. Azmara would die to it EVERY_SINGLE_TRY. I mean it, every try. If we made 15 attempts, he would die 15 times. It was so sad it was funny, everyone would just laugh their asses off on vent every try the second Azmara died. That stupid s**tter was thankfully kicked, but well, according to him "he left because the guild wasn't social". Next up is A'lakir... oh dear god the nightmare this boss was. There were so many people f**king up constantly that I can't even name someone specifically, everyone had their share of f**k ups on this boss. The crown has to go to Deify though, for forgetting his pet on the other side and f**king it up for us more than once.
Next up, Halfus in BoT. Not much to say on this boss, this was too easy to allow for f**ck ups. I do recall me failing an interrupt once but I think that was during Normal modes. Theralion and Valiona though is a whole other case. We tried many strategies with mages going inside, then SPs going inside, then warlocks going inside, then hunters and so on.. and everyone managed to die multiple times. That boss was really entertaining to progress on, watching people die over and over and again and again but no one specific here either that I remember, besides myself. So the boss is at about 2-3% and it's going bad, half the raid is dead but it seems doable since it's so low already. I'm about to die, and I think: okay, time to be pro and show everyone how good engineering is. So I use the engineering belt enchantment, which gives me a shield that absorbs 20k damage. However, it has a chance to malfunction and taunt the boss instead! Long story short, I wiped the raid since I taunted the boss and melee moved out of range and died. On Ascendant Council, however, we had some true stars. There was Aliandramk who would die to everything all the time. There was also this paladin, Komplexa. Every single time he would get the frozen orb, it would be a wipe. He managed to run so horribly that the orb caught up to him and exploded. He even did retarded crap like using Divine Shield resulting in just another wipe. He was thankfully booted shortly after. Then we had Mek who would also die 24/7 on this boss.. oh yeah, I forgot to mention, he returned to the game (he stopped after ICC and came back on Ascendant Council progress to shine!). Then there was this BoP rotation that some people had trouble understanding. You know, you had to BoP a target.. NO CAN DO HOMIE. Too hard for Aldonn. The biggest f**ker was Rivah, however. We wiped when the boss was at 4k HP (that's 0.000001%) and he didn't use Healthstone. Had he used his Healthstone, he would have had time to cast 1 more spell and the boss would have been dead. Congratulations idiot! That's that for Ascendant Council and now for Cho'Gall. I don't remember any specific people screwing up constantly but I do remember Kungen saying that IT'S NOT POSSIBLE TO SPELL REFLECT when every other guild did it. Sinestra is a whole different story. There are two people that I remember and will always remember and hate forever and ever all through the years. The first one is Minci. Minci was a healing priest. He was also a motherf**king retard mongoloid who costed us world 2nd Sinestra kill, wiping us on 3% with the orb beam, since he didn't notice he had it. He apparently paniced too much and paid no attention. It was a sure kill, boss on 4% everyone alive, but no, he just wiped us. We didn't kill the boss until 2 days later world 4th. The other guy is Aliandramk, the "Macedonian" from Fyrom. How he can be Macedonian but live in FYROM is beyond me, but hey, he is so stupid it doesn't surprise me. So this guy ruined the Sinestra achievement (kill it on the first try with 0 deaths) since he died on 2%. Embarrassing.
There are two more noteworthy bosses in T11. First one is Maloriak starring Stayven and Ushra. I was watching Stayven stand inside a huge dark pool that puts a dot on you slowly dying as he was talking endlessly on vent giving directions to the other healers and talking nonsense.. when he dies he says on vent : "Wtf how did I die why did I get no heals?" and everyone just explodes into laughter. Ushra was a shaman.. he died during Dark Phase. To a pool. He claimed however that he died to Arcane Storm, a channeling spell that Maloriak casts and needs to get interrupted.. only problem is that he doesn't cast it in the Dark Phase. Liar liar pants on fire, gkick failed trial. The next and last boss worth mentioning is Atramedes. He was bugged in 10 ways and you could choose which way you would like to abuse the boss. Stand at the edge, stand outside the room, stand at the entrance.. this had to be the biggest fail by Blizzard.
And that's that with specifics about T11 progress. Now a few more general notes. First of, Aryu had rerolled tank so it was me and Ekyu playing Mages. I was pretty nervous, as I was competing with one of the best and sadly I didn't perform as good as I would have liked to. DPS-wise I was fine, but certain gimmicks such as Ring of Frost would just make me wanna kill myself and that's where he outshone me. Besides performance though, we would just constantly fight with each other. He would clearly state his desire to remove me from the guild and he would recruit other mages, telling them to stay away from me since I was getting kicked as a welcome chat. Pretty mature of him eh? Thankfully, Hearnt joined the guild, a brittish mage who performed pretty good until Ragnaros. Another good thing about Hearnt was that he also hated Ekyu. He'd tell me all the bullshit Ekyu would whisper him and we would laugh at his poor attempts to get me replaced together. The reason I wasn't kicked was that Mackzter actually kinda liked him and so did Mek, at least in the start, and I liked them back. Besides Hearnt, I also liked Stayven at the time and also Rivah, a huge mistake of mine, I wasn't able to see through his lies back then, but I was later in the end of Firelands.
Concerning raiding, I was getting a bit disappointed, not gonna lie. Not achieving any world firsts (or seconds) was a huge blow and even more good people quit. I did however attribute that to bad luck (Minci being in the guild is considered bad luck) so instead of giving up I put as much effort as I could in building up a stronger roster by talking to people I knew all over. Sadly, with Kungen and Mackzter quitting and Mek stepping up the guild wasn't getting any stronger. No offence to Mek, he was a great leader, but he wasn't a great player nor that scary leading figure with a strong personality like Mackzter, at least in my eyes. But more about that in the next entry about Ensidia in Firelands.. there's a lot to say about that, trust me.

Gert Frobe, the German actor who starred as Goldfinger in the James Bond film of that name, died of a heart attack today in a Munich hospital. He was 75 years old.
Mr. Frobe appeared in nearly 100 movies, but was best known for his role as the greedy villain in the 1964 Bond film. He also appeared in the 1965 Hollywood movie ''Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines'' and in Rene Clement's ''Is Paris Burning?'' in 1966. In Nazi Party, but Hid 2 Jews
Mr. Frobe's agent, Pal Berkovicsa, said the actor had suffered a heart attack about a week ago at a spa at Starnberger Lake near Munich.
In 1965, Mr. Frobe made headlines when he was quoted by the British newspaper The Daily Mail as saying: ''Naturally I was a Nazi.''
Mr. Frobe denied making the comment. ''What I told an English reporter during an interview,'' he said, ''was that during the Third Reich I had the luck to be able to help two Jewish people, although I was a member of the Nazi party.''
Israel banned Mr. Frobe's films for several months until a Jew, Mario Blumenau, informed the Israeli Embassy in Vienna that his life and his mother's had probably been saved when Mr. Frobe hid them from the Nazis.
Mr. Frobe, whose given name was Karl-Gerhard, was born on Feb. 25, 1913, in the town of Planitz in what is now East Germany. He studied theater during the early years of the Third Reich. After theaters were closed by the Nazis in 1944, he was drafted into the German Army, in which he served until the end of World War II.
Mr. Frobe is survived by his fifth wife, Karin, and by two sons from previous marriages, Utz and Andreas.

A customer recently asked me if I could create a "quick entry" form that excluded certain fields from the regular tab order. Oracle JET input components have a tab index for a reason. They are designed for accessibility which means they work with accessible input devices and don't require a mouse. Removing data entry fields from the tab order means I have to use a pointing device, such as a mouse or tap, to select a skipped field. Although this goes against my better judgement, I understand the use case. If you are entering information in rapid, data entry mode, you don't want to tab over fields you rarely use. The issue I ran into is this:
How do you remove the tab index from certain Oracle JET components?
Input elements such as ojInputDate display a native HTML element and will automatically be part of the tab order. We can easily remove these elements from the tab order by setting the
tabIndex to -1 like this:
<input tabindex="-1" data-bind="ojComponent: { component: 'ojInputDate', value: selectedDate}" />
Other elements, such as ojSelect, use a clever collection of non-input HTML elements to capture input. For accessibility reasons, Oracle JET adds
tabindex="0" to these input elements to ensure accessible devices can enter data. Since many of these Oracle JET elements begin life as a real HTML input element (input, select, etc), one might think that changing the tab index would be as easy as setting the tab index on the original input element. Unfortunately, it is not that easy. Another idea is to include
tabIndex in the
rootAttributes collection of an OJ component. Unfortunately, that doesn't work either. To remove these elements from the tab order, we must first identify the element with a tab index, and then change the value of the tab index. To do this effectively, we have to answer two questions:
- How do I identify the element with a
- Timing wise, when will the DOM be ready for me to change the
Let's start with question #1. Study the following structure screenshot for a moment.
In the above screenshot, the JET generated
oj-select is highlighted at the top. The very next element, the
oj-select-choice element is the element with the
tabIndex and is a child element of the
oj-select. This is the element we want to modify and we need to find a way to programatically identify this element. Notice that the original
select element is a sibling of the generated
oj-select element. We could use a sibling selector. Sibling selectors are great for collections, where you want to style elements differently based on their position in a collection, but a sibling selector makes me a little nervous in this instance. I'm not sure we can depend on the sibling relationship identified in this screenshot. Rather than use a sibling selector, we can use Oracle JET's getNodeBySubId method. For Oracle JET components that are composed of several elements, we can identify individual pieces of the component by Sub ID. You can find the list of valid
ojSelect Sub IDs here. We specifically want to select the
oj-select-choice node. Unfortunately,
oj-select-choice is not a node with a known Sub ID. If I expanded the
oj-select-choice node in the structure screenshot, you would see that
oj-select-chosen is a direct descendant of
oj-select-choice. The
oj-select-chosen node is selectable by Sub ID. With a little jQuery, we can easily traverse from
oj-select-chosen up to
oj-select-choice. We can test this by selecting our
select element in the structure browser and then entering the following into the console:
$($0) .ojSelect( "getNodeBySubId", {'subId': 'oj-select-chosen'} ) .closest( ".oj-select-choice" )
The following screenshot shows the results of that command (notice I also expanded the
oj-select-choice to reveal the child
A quick word about jQuery traversal methods... Using jQuery, there are often multiple ways to solve the same problem. In this situation we could either use the parents() or closest() methods to work our way up the hierarchy. Parents and Closest are similar, but, as the docs say, "The differences between the two, though subtle, are significant." We want to find the most immediate ancestor matching a selector. Closest accomplishes this. It identifies the match and then stops. The
parents method, on the other hand, finds all matches and returns them as a collection. We have no need to walk the entire document hierarchy, so
closest is the appropriate choice for this scenario. We have now answered question #1: How do I identify the element with a tabIndex attribute?
Next we need to handle the Life Cycle Management issue: How do we know when the
ojSelect is available in the DOM (question #2)? Even though ojModule has Life Cycle Management events that tell us when the DOM is available, I don't suggest using them for this specific scenario.
ojModule LCM events will work just fine with DOM elements that are hard coded into the view, but I'm not sure we should count on them for dynamically generated elements, such as those bound to an ko.observableArray. A better approach is to use a component-specific life cycle management approach such as custom bindings (ko.bindingHandlers). This allows us to manipulate an element as soon as it appears in the DOM. Here is an example ko.bindingHandler:
ko.bindingHandlers.inaccessibleOjSelect = { init: function(element, valueAccessor, allBindingsAccessor, ctx) { var options = allBindingsAccessor().ojSelectOptions || {}; var multiple = !!options.multiple; var tabEl = $(element) // initialize ojSelect .ojSelect(options) // bind value change handler .on({ 'ojoptionchange': function (event, data) { if (data.option === "value") { var observable = valueAccessor(); if (ko.isObservable(observable)) { if (multiple) { observable(data.value); } else { // unwrap from array if single select observable(data.value[0]); } } // if not observable, just throw away the value } } }) // get reference to item with tabIndex .ojSelect( "getNodeBySubId", {'subId': 'oj-select-chosen'}) .closest(".oj-select-choice"); $(tabEl).attr("tabIndex", -1); }, update: function(element, valueAccessor) { var value = ko.utils.unwrapObservable(valueAccessor()); $(element).ojSelect("option", "value", [value]); } };
Note: The ojSelect value expects an array. In this JavaScript, notice that I distinguish between multi and single selection modes. For single-select ojSelect elements, I am unwrapping the value array and just returning the single value. This is for convenience and is in lieu of my other method for unwrapping ojSelect values.
You would use this with HTML similar to the following:
<select id="basicSelect" data-bind="inaccessibleOjSelect: browser, ojSelectOptions: {optionChange: browserChangedHandler, rootAttributes: {style:'max-width:20em'}}"> <option value="IE">Internet Explorer <option value="FF">Firefox <option value="CH">Chrome <option value="OP">Opera <option value="SA">Safari </select>
And finally, here is the jsFiddle so you can test it out:
As you review the code, you will notice that it is very
ojSelect specific. As I mentioned before, not every Oracle JET input component requires a custom handler to change the
tabIndex. For those that do, however, it wouldn't take much to rework this custom handler into something generic that could be used with a variety of
ojComponent elements.

Vehicle Comparisons:
2015 Nissan JUKE vs. 2015 Kia Soul
The eccentric 2015 Nissan JUKE has been styled to give drivers a muscular exterior and a driver-friendly interior. This hatchback crossover packs a quick performance and a plethora of modern features to take your drive to the next level. If you're looking for the 2015 Nissan JUKE in Philadelphia, Lansdale, or Doylestown, you can find it at Montgomeryville Nissan.
To show you how capable the one-of-a-kind 2015 Nissan JUKE is, Montgomeryville Nissan is here to match it up against another uniquely styled vehicle. If you're in the market for a new car in Lansdale, Philadelphia, or Doylestown, read on for a vehicle comparison between the 2015 Nissan JUKE and the 2015 Kia Soul.
Driver-Focused Interior
Despite being a smaller and skinnier vehicle than the 2015 Kia Soul, the 2015 Nissan JUKE is built better for drivers. With more legroom, drivers can stretch out and get more comfortable. And with a cockpit designed to mimic a sports bike, your controls will be readily at hand and easier to use, especially your gear shifter, which is elevated for supreme control.
Despite the unique exterior design of the 2015 Kia Soul, the interior cockpit can't match up to the 2015 Nissan JUKE's.
Responsive Performance
The 2015 JUKE features a capable and responsive engine that suits a wide variety of drivers. The 1.6-liter I4 engine generates 188 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque for a thrilling drive. The 2015 Kia Soul, on the other hand, can only produce 130 horsepower and 118 lb-ft of torque from the 1.6-liter I4 engine underneath its hood.
When you pair this displacement in power with the fact that the 2015 Nissan JUKE has a higher ground clearance for better tackling of uneven terrain, the performance of the 2015 Kia Soul simply can't compare.
Multiple Drive Modes
To better suit you and your environment, the Nissan JUKE has three drive modes. While the Normal mode perfectly blends performance and fuel efficiency, you have the ability to switch to Sport mode for a quick, responsive drive that enhances your ability to control and handle the vehicle. If you're out cruising the highway, you can switch to Eco mode for a more fuel-efficient drive that saves you gas and money. These drive modes can't be found with the 2015 Kia Soul.
While both vehicles break barriers in terms of exterior design, the 2015 Nissan JUKE has several additions that make it a better fit than the 2015 Kia Soul. With a more driver-focused interior, a more powerful performance, and the ability to choose different drive modes to match your style, the versatility of the 2015 JUKE brings it to a whole new level above the 2015 Kia Soul.
Drivers looking to test drive the 2015 Nissan JUKE in Lansdale, Philadelphia, or Doylestown can do so at Montgomeryville Nissan.

Also, we were all set for Fergie to do the electric boogaloo on Dancing With the Stars. It unfortunately didn't pan out. But an even more bizarre rumor has hit the mills, so to speak: Has Heather Mills McCartney signed on for the show's next season? Neither ABC nor Heather's people are commenting, which seems to tacitly give credence to this insanity. One wonders why she didn't take a crack at Strictly Come Dancing, but you can imagine the horror of British audiences booing a disabled woman. Wouldn't really look good after the Jade Goody fiasco.
On to the Brits: today, rehearsals were held for tomorrow's Brit Awards. I was privileged to see performances from Scissor Sisters, The Killers, and Corinne Bailey Rae. The set that will throw audiences for a loop is from the Sisters, who perform their hit, "I Don't Feel Like Dancin'." It's wild excess: disembodied limbs fly across the stage, and legs without torsos do high-kicks. The Killers (featuring the still bearded Brandon Flowers) will perform "When We Were Young" from their sophomore album, Sam's Town, and Corinne Bailey Rae enlists a group of clones to help her lay down "Put Your Records On." It all happens live tomorrow night. Catch BBC AMERICA's broadcast of the Brits in April.

"Agh, if only those diminuitive fools had not left me on this deserted island, I could have aided them well in the capture and death of that accursed lich sorcerer, considering I have destroyed the phylactery." The red-robed elf fingered their long purple hair, looking around for any kind of life on the island save the towering palm trees, small rainforests, and the occasional gull used for a quick lunch. Vaarsuvius's eyes flitted around, and suddenly focused on a large bush as she heard a large ruckus emit from it.
"Gust of Wind." The leaves and twigs flew away and the buush was uprooted from the sudden gust. A green-skinned being emerged from the ground and dissapeared as soon as V had seen it.
"Fireball. That should do the job." V watched as the small forest burned before its eyes. Suddenly a hand was drawn over V's mouth and it blacked out.
Therkla yawned and looked up at the stars.
"Ahh, NOW I know what gender the elf is."

Different Types of Short-Haired German Shepherds
German Shepherds have essentially two lengths of hair. They can either be short-haired or long-haired, despite what kind of coloration pattern they have. Both dogs are the same breed, and while a short-hair German Shepherd is the only type of German Shepherd accepted in kennel clubs in the United States and much of the world, both short-haired and long-haired dogs can be purebred German Shepherds.
The Very Short-Haired German Shepherd
Within the two basic "lengths" of German Shepherd fur, there are two more classifications. The first is "very short," which is essentially a very short layer of fur over the also very short insulation layer.
This type of fur will be a little bristly to the touch but will look very sleek and smooth on the dog. While this is not the preferred version of the short coat, it is more favorable to "purists" than either versions of the long coat.
The Plush-Coat German Shepherd
The second type of short hair for German Shepherds is called plush. This is the coat that breeders are looking for in show dogs, as this is believed to be the most stereotypical kind of German Shepherd coat.
These dogs will also have an outer coat and an undercoat, the top coat still being rough to the touch, while the undercoat being more like a wooly sweater that keeps the dog warm and puffs up the outer coat.
Caring for Short-Coat Puppies
Many people hope that getting short-hair German Shepherd puppies will mean their dogs will shed less. While short hair is easier to care for than long hair, these dogs will shed just as much as their long-haired brothers and sisters.
German Shepherds are, in fact, labeled as the breed that sheds the most out of every other breed on the planet. Unlike other dogs that shed usually only in the spring and fall, to prepare for the changing seasons, a German Shepherd will shed constantly.
This makes it very important to start proper coat care from a very young age, to make sure these dogs are comfortable. Just as much as you might hate having his fur everywhere, he hates having so much extra fur.
Brushing these dogs very regularly with the right tools and making sure they are clean and happy is integral to having a happy, healthy dog. While these dogs will naturally shed their fur, it can sometimes get trapped in the unshed fur, creating mats and knots that are no fun for you or your dog.
Keeping Your Dog's Coat Clean and Healthy
For a short coat or medium-coat German Shepherd, here are the steps to keeping his fur and your home cleaner and happier:
The Right Dog Food
Make sure you are feeding him the right dog food. Dogs need food with a high enough moisture (fat) content so that their body has plenty of oil to maintain a healthy skin and coat. He will need plenty of protein, as well as fat, for healthy fur.
"Shed Ender" or Rake Brush
Get a "shed ender" or rake brush or other brush designed specifically for removing fur the dog has already shed from both the undercoat and the outer coat. One of the biggest issues short hair German Shepherds will have with their fur is having fur that they've already shed trapped in their undercoat. If your dog has sensitive skin or does not seem to like being brushed, you might want to look for a gentler brush—something with rubber fingers, instead of metal ones.
How Often Do You Brush Your German Shepherd?
Brushing Routine
Start a brushing routine. German shepherd short hair will be shed continuously, so these dogs need to be brushed very regularly. If you cannot brush your dog on a daily basis, he should at least be brushed a few times a week. This will help to remove the fur he has already shed and prevent any skin or fur problems.
Bathe him only once or twice a year. Unless he has gotten very dirty and needs a real bath in order to get tree sap, mud, or other contaminants out of his fur before he is allowed back in the house, it is best to only bathe him when his fur starts to feel excessively greasy. Bathing too often can dry out his skin.
Keep Brushing
Keep brushing! Especially during hot summer months, it's imperative that you keep up with your brushing routine. During these months, he could essentially be wearing three coats—an upper coat, under coat, and a third coat of fur he has already shed. Removing the dead fur will help him be more comfortable.

My notes based on 2010 quarter 2 report (number in '000):-
- The Group 1H10 revenues increased by 14.9% Y-o-Y while PBT was 34.8% higher
- For 1H10, the Group's Malaysian consumer bank PBT grew 23.5% Y-o-Y from a combination of sustained improvements in Retail Banking and Credit Cards as well as better recoveries at Group Special Assets Management("GSAM"). PBT at Treasury & Investments declined 25.3% Y-o-Y mainly due to lower net gains from investments during the period. Corporate & Investment Banking ("CIB") PBT was higher by 72.9% Y-o-Y as regional capital markets were significantly better than 1H09
- CIMB Niaga's contribution surged 171.1% Y-o-Y previously owing to continued operational improvements as well as very favourable operating conditions. CIMB Thai made a RM26 million PBT contribution in 1H10 compared to a RM29 million loss in 1H09. Asset Management and Insurance PBT
was 55.4% lower Y-o-Y largely due to the non recurrence of gains on change in accounting standards at CIMB Aviva last year
- CIMB Niaga was again the largest contributor to 1H10 Group PBT with 36% versus 18% in 1H09. The Malaysian Consumer Bank's contribution to Group PBT was slightly lower at 14% compared to 15% in 1H09, while Treasury and Investments fell to 26%. Contribution from CIB rebounded to 21% from 17% previously. Group Asset Management ("GAM") and Insurance fell to 2% from 5% last year. CIMB Thai's contribution was 1% of Group PBT compared to a negative in 1H09
- Total non-Malaysian PBT jumped to an all-time high of 44% in 1H10 from 20% in 1H09 due to the surge in contribution from Indonesia as well as the return to profitability of the Group's Thai and Singapore operations
- The Group's total gross loans expanded 16.1% Y-o-Y, underpinned by the 30.7% expansion (in RM terms) of CIMB Niaga's gross loans as well as the 15.2% growth in Malaysian consumer loans. Mortgages, credit cards and the Group's micro credit lending grew by 22.9%, 38.3% and 38.7% respectively Y-o-Y. Hire purchase loans are growing again, by 5.7% Y-o-Y but business banking loans continued to decline by 4.5% Y-o-Y. Corporate loans improved 8.7% Y-o-Y. Meanwhile, the Group's net interest margins continued to improve as well
- Total Group's deposits grew by 18.1%, driven by a 20.5% surge in CIMB Bank's retail current account balances as the Group's new Singapore retail franchise continued its excellent start. In 2Q10 CIMB Bank Malaysia registered more new customers than ever before indicating that the bank's focus on growing its deposit base is gaining momentum
- The total loan impairment (under FRS139 policies) for the Group was 52.6% Y-o-Y, the numbers are not directly comparable due to differing accounting treatments. The Group's total annualized credit charge was 0.30%, much lower than the 0.60% full year target. The Group's gross impaired loans ratio was 7.2% for 1H10 down from 7.5% three months ago, with an impairment allowance coverage of 78.4%. The Group's cost to income ratio rose slightly to 54.6% compared to 53.7% in 1H09
- The Group's 2Q10 revenues was 6.2% higher versus 1Q10, giving rise to a 6.1% increase in Q-o-Q
net profits
- The Group's Malaysian Consumer Banking division PBT improved 52.8% Q-o-Q largely due to improved recoveries at GSAM. Excluding these legacy assets, the consumer "good bank" earnings were 5.9% higher. Corporate and Investment Banking expanded 14.7% as the capital market momentum continued but Treasury and Investments fell 18.3% Q-o-Q. CIMB Niaga's PBT contribution was 4.5% lower Q-o-Q due to the higher gain from the ex-Lippo Bank bond sale in 1Q10. GAM and Insurance PBT contributions rose 262.5% to RM28 million. CIMB Thai's PBT contribution jumped by 233.3% Q-o-Q to RM20 million versus RM6 million in 1Q10
- CIMB Niaga reported a 62.2% Y-o-Y growth with a 1H10. The stronger performance was attributed to the strong loans growth and improved non-performing loan ("NPL") ratios. Profits from sale of AFS bonds by CIMB Niaga are not recognised in CIMB Niaga itself but at Group consolidated accounts. On a sequential basis, the 2Q10 net profit was 15.5% higher than 1Q10 primarily due to stronger revenue and lower operating expenses
- Bank CIMB Niaga's gross loans grew 25.6% Y-o-Y in 1H10 driven by the corporate and auto loans segments. Gross NPL was lower at 2.7% as at end-June 2010 compared to 3.1% as end-March 2010 and unchanged versus the corresponding period last year. CIMB Niaga continues to retain the 2nd lowest position in net NPL ratios amongst Indonesian banks while loan loss coverage was increased to 140.0% as at end-1H10 compared to 96.3% as at end-1H09
- CIMB Thai announced a 1H10 net profit of THB714 million compared to a THB502 million loss in 1H09. This had included a THB508 million gain from the sale of the Sathorn building and BT Asset Management. Excluding this one-off gain, CIMB Thai would have recorded a 1H10 net profit of THB206 million. For the 6-month period, CIMB Thai chalked revenue of THB3.607 billion, up 5.6% Y-o-Y. As a result of GAAP adjustments, CIMB Thai's contribution to the Group's 1H10 earnings was RM26 million, compared to a negative RM29 million in 1H09
- CIMB Islamic's Y-o-Y PBT jumped 144.6% as Syariah-compliant banking products continue to gain ground. CIMB Islamic's gross financing assets grew 141.4% Y-o-Y, accounting for 14.3% of total Group loans. Total deposits grew by 71.9% Y-o-Y
- Estimate next 4Q eps after 2010 Q2 result announced = 0.125*4*1.1 = 0.55, estimate PE on current price 7.8 = 13.93(DPS 0.14)
- Estimate next 4Q eps after 2010 Q1 result announced = 0.2366*4*1.1 = 1.041(10% increase quarter-by-quarter), after bonus estimate eps = 1.041/2 = 0.5205, estimate highest/lowest PE = 15.19/12.46 (DPS 0.185/2 = 0.0925)
- Estimate next 4Q eps after 2009 Q4 result announced = 0.2268*4*1.1 = 0.9979, estimate highest/lowest PE = 14.67/12.5 (DPS 0.185)
- Estimate next 4Q eps after 2009 Q3 result announced = 0.2058*4*1.1 = 0.9055, estimate highest/lowest PE = 14.72/13.04 (DPS 0.25)
- Estimate next 4Q eps after 2009 Q2 result announced = 0.1879*4*1.1 = 0.8268, estimate highest/lowest PE = 15.59/11.73 (DPS 0.25)
