Day 1: ‘Hi, What’s The Neighbor Doing To their garden?’ Day 60: ‘OMG!!’

During the summer, nothing is much better than the odor of fresh cut grass. This is certainly, unless, you’ve got a huge veggie yard growing as opposed to your grass. In place of turf, this awesome home owner, user locolukas on Reddit, decided on tomatoes. The outcomes are absolutely epic.

What you see in fact was previously a yard.

But rather of mowing grass, one man made a decision to say “screw the yard” and plant vegetables.

He filled his yard’s grid with compost your city offered away.

Seeds began growing quickly and he had to continue by planting support systems around all of them.

He even developed an irrigation system, that will be significantly more hard than it seems.

He lined their garden with cinder obstructs, covered the bottom with lumber potato chips and filled the cinder blocks with compost too.

Arugula came in first.

6 Pieces Of Corporate News Released While No One Was Reading

More people on holiday, fewer people paying attention. It’s a perfect recipe for a corporate disclosure to fly beneath the radar.

With readers on holiday, corporate disclosures released at the end of the year often go unnoticed. Here are 6 stories culled from announcements and filings from Christmas Eve to the New Year.

1. Daily Journal Corporation

The California-based legal publisher is also big shareholder in many US banks, thanks to the leadership of its chairman and Berkshire Hathaway number two Charlie Munger. On Monday it said that one of its quarterly earnings statements “should no longer be relied on.”

The problem is an expected change in how some deferred revenue will be taxed. The company said it reached this decision on December 29 — Monday — after discussing it with its new auditor, BDO.

Daily Journal had removed its prior auditor, “Big Four” member EY, in June after a dispute over its internal controls. Daily Journal also said it had notified the NASDAQ on Tuesday that it won’t be able to file a timely annual report, which violates the exchange’s listing rules. The company also disclosed that it “it will not provide preliminary, unaudited results for fiscal 2014 until it has more certainty regarding BDO’s position on the income tax accounting.”

2. Yahoo

Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer disclosed that she had sold some 36,000 shares of Yahoo stock for an average price of $51.16, bringing in a total of $1.8 million. She also exercised 36,000 options to buy Yahoo stock at $18.87. The sales and acquisitoins were part of an executive trading plan she adopted in Novmber, 2013. Yahoo and Mayer made the official filing on Christmas Eve, while the sales and purchases were made on December 22.

3. Advanced Micro Devices

The microchip company Advanced Micro Devices said on Monday that it had settled a shareholder lawsuit over its stock grants to its new CEO Lisa Su in October. As part of the settlement, disclosed in a regulatory filing on Monday, AMD said it would rescind the about $4.7 million in stock awards it had granted Su. The company said in its filling, however, that it “intends to return Dr. Su’s equity compensation to the level it should have been prior to the action to void and rescind the equity awards described above at or near the earliest practicable opportunity.”

4. Jeb Bush

After announcing he was “actively exploring” a run for the presidency, former Florida governor Jeb Bush resigned from the boards of two companies where he served as a director: the timber company Rayonier and the healthcare company Tenet. Rayonier announced his resignation on Monday, while Tenet announced his departure on Christmas Eve.

5. Twitter

Eric Thayer / Reuters

Twitter founder Ev Williams and his wife sold over $14 million worth of Twitter shares through various trusts and companies that own Twitter stock. The sales took place on the 22nd and 23rd but were disclosed on Christmas Eve.

6. Louis Dreyfus

Todd Korol / Reuters

Mayo Schmidt.

The commodities trading firm Louis Dreyfus announced at the end of November that it had picked a new CEO: the former head of Canadian agriculture company Viterra, Mayo Schmidt. But on New Year’s Eve the firm announced that Schmidt would not be coming on, “following a more detailed analysis of the terms and conditions of their planned employment relationship.”

Mormon-basher, former OFA coordinator backlinks Romney to anti-Muslim filmmaker

http://twitter.com/#!/SamuelCookIII/status/246259203856035841

Once we reported previous, the mystical manager behind the bizarre film being blamed for Tuesday’s lethal riots has been outed as a questionable Egyptian fraudster known as Nakoula Basseley Nakoula. Former Obama For America coordinator and self-proclaimed “Republican for Obama” Sam Cooke decided so it will be hilarious to connect Mitt Romney to Nakoula. In the end, Romney is rich and a Mormon, and just what might be shadier than that, right? We know the media is perhaps all too thrilled to move the main focus of anti-Americanism abroad far from President Obama, Cook’s hero, and onto Mitt Romney, so it is reasonable that Cook is just also pleased to accomplish their component.

For Cook to connect Mitt Romney and his promotion to a guy who’s being unjustly blamed when it comes to deaths of four Us citizens is disgraceful and ridiculous. And, unfortunately, it’s precisely what we’d anticipate from a shameless political worm like Cook.

Scott Walker takes on media feeding frenzy about alleged ‘criminal scheme’

FED PROSECUTORS CLOSE IN ON SCOTT WALKER OK, THEY WERE STATE I MEAN COUNTY & THE CHARGES WERE DISMISSED & REDISMISSED ON APPEAL KTHXBAI

— David Burge (@iowahawkblog) June 19, 2014

The MSM and others were off and running today with a story about Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, which some have reported as a “criminal scheme.”

Here’s a sampling of how the frenzy spread, and many didn’t of course even bother to fully explain the background or circumstances:

http://twitter.com/#!/samsteinhp/status/479681107663650816 http://twitter.com/#!/LukeRussert/status/479677199784493057 http://twitter.com/#!/politico/status/479686332684718080 http://twitter.com/#!/markos/status/479681617959473152

Judging only from those kinds of stories, you might think that Scott Walker was going to be perp-walked as soon as tonight. But, as usual, there’s a lot more to it.

Walker took to Twitter this evening to explain his side of the story:

http://twitter.com/#!/ScottWalker/status/479758864049790976 http://twitter.com/#!/ScottWalker/status/479759180279320576 http://twitter.com/#!/ScottWalker/status/479759336567484416

Here’s a detail about the Wisconsin investigation you might not read about in some MSM reports:

http://twitter.com/#!/GrayerDreams/status/479699658415947776

“Politically motivated” frivolousness sounds about right:

http://twitter.com/#!/seanmdav/status/479761876608241665

Now there’s an item we’d be reading a lot more in news reports if Walker were a Democrat and the DA’s office was full of Republicans.

The lefty feeding frenzy over the latest Scott Walker non-story might best be summed up this way:

That appears to be the case.
