They may have taken out a nearby Burger-King or the stock yard., since it burns the eyeballs. Maybe you can stay down and have something delivered- does KFC deliver? They kept me awake half the night- so I'm cooking a cheeseburger with sauce and homegrown tomatoes. You put the green tomatoes in a paper bag with a banana peel and it is supposed to take only 7 days- mine took 30 days - Might as well have set them on a window sill. If market gets worse we may have to know these things Polish people hang the entire tomato and pepper plants in the attic where it does not freeze I seen them do it in Mich back in "36, or was it '37? Good luck Sig Yum Yum. I think Geacf is finally over the hump. biz.yahoo.com >>>> They reported a great set of results and it validates the fact that Geac is a company that is doing all the right things (and) is starting to see some pickup in its business," said Robert Silgardo, analyst at Canaccord Capital. "We still remain cautious because these guys have a bit of a ways to go because their overall markets and (information technology) spending are very weak. But they're positioning themselves rather well." Silgardo, who rates Geac a "buy" with a C$5.75 target, had expected second-quarter earnings of 17 cents a share on sales of C$146 million. Geac posted a net profit of 23 Canadian cents a share and revenue of C$159.2 million. Analysts said the results also show progress in Geac's restructuring plan to cut costs, focus on core growth markets and return to profit. Dundee Securities analyst Paul Bradley said the improved performance was due to strong gains in support and service sales, good software license sales, and better margins. "I think it's a bit more than just another positive quarter, I think it's a major step forward," said Bradley, who expected a net profit of 18 Canadian cents a share and sales of C$149 million. The results represent another profitable quarter, sufficient confidence to raise guidance and increasing signs that new products rather than acquisitions can spur growth next year, he added.>>>
