Found July 06, 2012 on
The Flyers made a nice depth signing yesterday by bringing Ruslan Fedotenko back to the city where his professional career began. The deal made sense both hockey-wise and financially, requiring only a one-season commitment to the 33-year-old at $1.75 million.
First and foremost, Fedotenko is still a pretty good two-way grinder. He's good on the boards and responsible defensively, albeit rather...

Innovative Technologies
Seeing Double
Debuting as an option for the 2013 Legacy and Outback 2.5i Limited and 3.6R Limited models, the Subaru EyeSight1 driver assist system breaks new ground. It provides another set of eyes to improve comfort, help to reduce driving fatigue, and enhance safety.
How does it work? Stereo cameras mounted on either side of the interior rearview mirror continuously scan the road ahead. The system processes images from the two cameras to identify vehicles, obstacles, traffic lanes, and other things ahead of the car. The EyeSight system uses that information for a variety of functions, including:
Limited models sport a new instrument cluster. The center-mounted color LCD shows settings for the new technology.
AM/FM Stereo HD Radio with Single-Disc CD Player and Navigation System Features
Play it, Stream it, Say it, Port it
For 2013, you can do more with the audio system. Upgrades to the standard system include the addition of Bluetooth®2 Audio Streaming and Hands-Free Phone Connectivity, iPod®3 Control Capability, and a USB port.
An AM/FM Stereo HD Radio™4 with Single-Disc CD Player and Navigation System is optional on all Limited models. (See a list of its phenomenal features in the sidebar.) In particular, note that the navigation system's maps are stored in an SD card which can be updated easily by computer. Later this year, this system will have smartphone integration by Aha, which safely links it to Internet content.
Better Go
Over the last 20 years, Subaru has continually evolved its engine technology. However, meeting customer expectations for cleaner engines with responsive power called for a basic engine redesign. Legacy and Outback have a new 2.5-liter dual-overhead-camshaft four-cylinder; it's the same one that debuted in the 2011 Forester. (Read more specifics about the engine in the Winter 2011 issue of Drive.)
Better Flow
In addition, the automatic transmission – a Subaru Lineartronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) – for the 2.5i models was revised to complement the changes made in the engine. Subaru reduced the weight of the Lineartronic CVT and therefore the entire vehicle, which ultimately helps owners save money at the fuel pumps.
Smarter Stops
New to both Legacy and Outback is the Brake Override System. This safety system helps to prevent unintentional vehicle acceleration when the brake and the accelerator pedal are both applied by the driver while the vehicle is moving.
1 EyeSight is a driver assist system which may not operate optimally under all driving conditions. The driver is always responsible for safe and attentive driving. System effectiveness depends on many factors such as vehicle maintenance and weather and road conditions.

Berger, L 2012, 'Wahhabism' , in: Cultural Sociology of the Middle East, Asia, and Africa: An Encyclopedia , SAGE Publications, Thousand Oaks.
| PDF - Accepted Version Download (10kB) | Preview |
The term 'Wahhabism' is derived from the name of Muhammad Ibn Abd al-Wahhab (1703-92) who lived and worked as a religious reformer in the heartland of the Arabian Peninsula. Many of those Muslims who are generally referred to as Wahhabis reject that term which for them implies that they confer a similar status to a human individual as they do to the one God. Given their particular concern with all forms of idolatry that could unduly distract from the worship of the one God they find the description as Wahhabis particularly insulting. Since 'tawhid', i.e. professing the oneness and uniqueness of God, is the central element of their thought, many Wahhabis thus prefer the term 'muwahhidun', i.e. the ones who profess God's oneness.

Too Much, Too Soon was adapted from the warts-and-all autobiography of actress Diana Barrymore, the troubled daughter of "great profile" John Barrymore. As played by Dorothy Malone, Diana is a basically decent young lady who suffers mightily from lack of parental love. Her famous father, played with boozy bravado by Errol Flynn, is the soul of graciousness and affection when sober, but a human monster when drunk -- which is often. Her poetess mother, Michael Strange (Neva Patterson), is too preoccupied...more

RCT Steel (Wallstent®) vs Nitinol (Wallflex®) Bile Duct Stent for Palliation of Malignant Obstruction
Recruitment status was Recruiting

- How to Read a Study Record
Less than 20% of patients with malignant distal bile duct (BD) obstruction (often pancreatic cancer) are suitable for resection surgery.In the rest,palliation treatment comes into focus. Jaundice caused by BD obstruction gives pain, infection (cholangitis), often itching and increased weight loss, and the patient is stigmatized by the deep yellow colour of the skin.Therefore palliation with endoscopic stenting by ERCP-technique is important. Modern self-expanding metal stents (SEMS) are now widely used in this context. Comparison in a RCT between steel and nitinol SEMS has never been performed.
The steel stent (Wallstent®) is the "original",is widely used, and has more expanding power. Nitinol stents are softer and claimed to be easier to insert,and are more and more popular.A newly developed nitinol stent (Wallflex®)may have these advantages, but is some 120 Euros more expensive.
Regarding the most important outcome measure, time to stent failure (obstruction), no one knows if there is any difference.Our hypothesis is that there is no difference in this main outcome endpoint.
Condition | Intervention | Phase |
Biliary Tract Neoplasms Pancreatic Neoplasms Stents |
Device: Patency of Steel Stent. Device: Patency of Nitinol Stent, Wallflex®. |
Phase 4 |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Allocation: Randomized Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment Masking: Open Label Primary Purpose: Treatment |
Official Title: | RCT Steel (Wallstent®) vs Nitinol (Wallflex®) Bile Duct Stent for Palliation of Malignant Obstruction |
- stent failure [ Time Frame: 10 months follow up ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- safety with respective stent in trial at insertion and afterwards(complic.) [ Time Frame: 10 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Estimated Enrollment: | 400 |
Study Start Date: | May 2009 |
Estimated Study Completion Date: | November 2012 |
Estimated Primary Completion Date: | May 2012 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
Arms | Assigned Interventions |
Active Comparator: 1
Insertion of Metalic Steel Stent, Wallstent® in malignant distal bile duct obstruction
Device: Patency of Steel Stent.
ERCP procedure insertion of Metalic Steel Stent, Wallstent®
Other Name: Wallstent
Active Comparator: 2
Nitinol Stent, Wallflex®.
Device: Patency of Nitinol Stent, Wallflex®.
at ERCP, after Rx,a nitinol stent is inserted.
Other Name: Wallflex
Detailed Description:
Secondary outcome measures (compare above) are complications caused by the stent or stent insertion and technical ease to insert the stent. To discover a 10% difference between the 2 groups, regarding patency, 400 patients must be included in the trial, alfa 0.05, beta 0.8. We know from previous trials (Single center trial South Hospital GIE 2006;63:986-995 and a newly finished similar swedish multicenter trial,prel data DDW- 09)that the 9 hospitals recruited will be able to include this no of patients in approximately 2.5 years.
We will have a shortest follow-up period of 10 months, followup will be by phone with standard questions connected to stent failure, which is defined clinically AND by a new ERCP with intervention because of an obstructed stent.

Walker signs bill barring workers from collecting damages for employment discrimination
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker has signed a bill that prohibits workers from collecting damages in employment discrimination cases.By: Associated Press report, Associated Press
MADISON — Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker has signed a bill that prohibits workers from collecting damages in employment discrimination cases.
Under current state law, employees who prevail in discrimination lawsuits can collect between $50,000 and $300,000 in compensatory and punitive damages. The Republican bill blocks anyone from collecting such damages in employment discrimination suits.
The state Department of Workforce Development still could award an employee back pay, costs and attorney fees, however.
Democrats said the bill hurts women who might suffer discrimination in the workplace.
Walker signed the bill Thursday but announced the signing Friday. His spokesman said it was easier to include the announcement in a broader release, noting the governor signed dozens of bills over the two days.

Josh Crowder didn't have time to use his rifle's scope.
The buck of a lifetime was in full flight, sprinting straight away. Instinctively, Crowder swung the rifle up, put the front bead on the center of the buck's back, and pulled the trigger . . .
In the weeks before West Virginia's 2012 buck firearm season, Crowder, then 18, had his eye on one particular buck.
"I had a trail camera out, and it had gotten several pictures of a big, perfect six-pointer. That's the buck I was hoping to get," Crowder said.
Anyone who knows anything about deer hunting in northeastern Kanawha County might think Crowder had set his sights a mite low. After all, the area routinely produces bucks with serious trophy racks.
Big antlers were the furthest thing from Crowder's mind.
"I had never killed a buck before," he said. "I had been hunting since I was 11, and I had killed some antlerless deer, but I'd never gotten a buck."
On Nov. 21, the buck season's opening day, Crowder awoke at 4:30 a.m. and got dressed to try to bag that perfect six-pointer. Dawn hadn't yet broken when he, his brother and his stepfather walked into the woods near their Elkview home.
"My brother started hunting at the first field we came to," Crowder recalled. "I kept going toward the top of the hill. There was a spot near some cliffs where I had seen some humongous buck rubs."
By 7:30 a.m., Crowder had seen a pair of does but no bucks.
"I waited until 8:30 without seeing anything," he said. "I decided to walk around and see if I could jump something. I hunted my way down the hill until I got to the field where my brother was supposed to be hunting. He wasn't there."
As Crowder crept slowly across the field, a sudden flash of movement caught his eye.
"A doe jumped up. And right behind the doe, I could see this big rack of antlers. Apparently the doe and the buck had been bedded down and I spooked them," Crowder said.
"They were only 10 yards away. The buck started running down the hill. I knew I had to shoot fast, so I used the bead sights on the rifle instead of the scope."
The first shot hit the buck in the spine and sent it crashing to the forest floor. A point-blank follow-up shot killed the animal.

This is the screen used prop from the Pre-Pro pictures of the Albino Boba Fett. Steve Sansweet had it in his collection, so I was sure to take plenty of reference pictures for the community.
Discussion on Albino Fett Pre Pro Rifle Reference Pictures within the Boba Fett Costume forum, part of the Star Wars Original Trilogy Bounty Hunters category; This is the screen used prop from the Pre-Pro pictures
This is the screen used prop from the Pre-Pro pictures of the Albino Boba Fett. Steve Sansweet had it in his collection, so I was sure to take plenty of reference pictures for the community.
Unheard of high-quality reference here. Thanks!!!!
Yes... just like SS said, many THANKS!
Excellent work!
This should be stickied up with the other blaster stuff!
I'm sure someone will be doing an albino Fett at sometime if not already!
I know somebody said something before about using the jet pack stabilizer in the barrel, but is that one of the knee dart launchers on the side?
wow! i never even thought to ask him to take it out of the case!!!
i have great pics of one side, but nothing like yours. rawk!
did you get any other good pics while you were there? what was the occassion?
I have a thread in the Sarlaac Pit with all of my other photos
Well Steve's computer broke, so he invited his friend and my CO Damien up to his house to fix it, and he also needed manual labour to clean up, reorganize, and throw away a bunch of junk. So he invited the garrison up to be the slave labor.
Steve said that you can touch and pick up anything you want, just as long as you put it right back where you found it.
HAZAH the trip OWNED!!!
and the caption for my pic:
Great work! The photos answer a question of mine. The Graflex used for the barrel is the different model than the one used for Luke's saber in ANH. You can tell by the machined "stripes" (rings) toward the end of the flash tube.
Holy Cow GCNgamer128!!!
These pics are awesome!!!!
Something I noticed about the gun--in addition to the stabilizer and knee from the other thread, the ribbed looking thing behind the knee dart looks the handle to the Paterson mixer stir stick. Those of you that own one will recognize it.
Awesome pics of the uzi. Thanks for showing us!!!!
NICE POST GCNgamer128!! :thumbup
QUESTION: Did you get any good Pics of the JET PACK you posted pics of ???
And just in case there are those that don't know what he's talking about..."ALBINO"...
In total, I have about 5 pictures of the ROTJ jet pack.
Included in my PM to SpideyFett:
I didn't get a chance to get the jet pack out, but believe it or not, the screen used jet pack was made out of foam. That way Boba could fall and roll around without a chunk of fiberglass on his back. The pack itself was extremely beaten up, the rocket had been torn off, along with the left thruster, they both were glued back on. The repair to the pack was pretty poor, the glue was exposed and the thruster wasn't glued on straight.
Just noticed that in the pics that Spidey posted the Graflex is turned with the "ears" up as though they were a gun sight, yet on the prop in the collection it is turned ninety degrees so that the "ears" are on the side.
Good call...maybe it turns???
Last edited by Spideyfett; Feb 15, 2007 at 11:51 PM.
It appeared to be held in with tape, the lower part of the tube was wrapped in tape and then slid into the resin Uzi. On the gun's right shot of the Graflex, you will see a square little shiney area, this isn't weathering, it's a metallic tape. It might be able to turn if you try to move it.
Hi Andy,
thanks for the great pics.
I finished the work on my gun 2 weeks ago and now I have to correct some details.
Here´re some pics of the gun.
Just another question about the Pre Pro Blaster;
on the costume pic (sorry for taking Spideyfett ;-) below it looks like the graflex pipe has moved 45 degree to the Sansweet Gun.
Any ideas?
Forget the last entry, I´am drunken.
Whoa! That's an AWESOME replica, PM me if you're willing to sell a copy
HI Andy,
PM send.
What´s about the metallic box on the right side of the gun, is there any information about it?
I build the trinangle box on the left side from a replica UZI Ammo Magazin, I don´t know if it is the right part but it came very close to the original.
WOW! Looks like I have to go back and update my drawings. Those are some fantasic pics.
Thank you
Don't know if it's been mentioned, but the piece on the front looks like one of the morse-code tappers or something.
Actually, when I was researching this piece I was informed that it has the old style Graflex's have a lever type release botton, much like a telegraph key. I have only seen one small image of it except for the pics here. I will be adding that feature to my drawings in the near future.
So if you can find a really old Graflex you'll be in business good luck with that one.
Boba die Wix,
That's an amazing looking replica!! Wow.
I see under your member name it says you live in Trier?? I went to Trier many times when I was stationed at Spangdahlem AB (I'm in the US Air Force.) Trier was a fun place to go. My wife and I used to like going down to the stores and restaurants in the Centrum. We lived in Speicher for about 3 years. It was only about a half hour from Trier.
Hi Alan,
I took a 1:1 UZI Softair (AEG) Gun Replica and a standard grafelx 2 (or 3) cell for the base of the gun.
here´s a link for an auction of a real UZI, why not??? http://www.egun.de/market/item.php?id=1275472
The "barrel" is a custom made aluminium Jet Pack Stabilizer. All I need now is the right display box. Any idea?
Hi Superjedi,
nice to hear that.
I went many times in the past to spangdahlem. I´am a police officer in Germany and in the past we protected the base from the bad taliban fighters around here.
So I remember the housings on Speicher ;-)
Please let me know if you´re staying in the future around your old town Speicher, you´re very welcome.
Hey Sven
Seems like you finally made it, great blaster!
Why don´t you pics of it while wearing your white mando ?!
Hi Eric, seems like you´re visiting as many forums as I do
Thanks! Don't know if I will ever get to visit Germany again, but if I do, I'd love to see your props.
And Markus?!?! I suppose this is another blaster you'll be building now!!
What will happen when you run out of blasters to build??
Running out of blasters to build???...Guess that won´t happen buddy
I have PLENTY of projects and ideas
But that blaster is not on my list for quite a time
Anyone else think that this post should be sticky?
I will be working on these drawings hopefully this week and I will be doing the control panel as well as a few other correction. If you like I can drop you a PM when they are ready?
I'll stick to toy guns for my mods. As much as I would like to have the real thing, the firearms cortol folks are really cracking down. In some states you can't even have a toy gun that looks real, orange muzzle or not. (Edited for content - I had a bit more to say on this)
I have to say it again Great Job on the blaster.
Looks Good Sven. I might have to try one of those if I can find a good Uzi to base it on. What did you use to make the angles piece on the side with the patterson tool handle?
Looking good, nice job.
Andy, thanks for those pics man! They will help a TON!

Isaac Backus was one of the leading orators of the "pulpit of the American Revolution." Often ranked with Roger Williams, John Leland, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison, Isaac Backus is one of the "preeminent figures in the establishing of freedom of conscience in America." His commitment to liberty and freedom of conscience is best articulated in his published sermon of 1773, "An Appeal to the Public for Religious Liberty, Against the Oppressions of the Present Day."
Born in Norwich, Connecticut, in 1724, Backus was converted to Christianity in 1741. He attended a Separatist Congregationalist church for five years, and, in 1746, decided to become a preacher in the tradition of George Whitefield. Ordained in 1748, he became a Baptist in 1751 when he assumed the pastorate of the Middleborough Baptist Church in Middleborough, Massachusetts.
Backus soon realized that the measure of control that the official state church had over the civil government of the state abridged the freedoms of non-official religious groups. The legislature compelled every town to set up and maintain a state church and to hire and provide for a minister holding an academic degree, all funded by the taxes of citizens regardless of religious affiliation. Those who refused to pay the tax were subject to punishment by the state through its agent, the local state congregation, including the seizure of personal property and imprisonment.
Backus believed this blending of church and state denied each person the right to worship God in the way he or she saw fit, and equated the support of a state church with the British actions that the Massachusetts legislature condemned. He maintained that the freedom of conscience, including the freedom of religion, was a central theme not only in the Scriptures but also in the liberal tradition. In 1774 Backus instructed the delegates to the First Congress on the importance of religious freedom and also served as a delegate from Middleborough to the Massachusetts convention that ratified the Constitution in 1788.

I like the way the Factory KTM pipe performs...it is a good mix of high and low end. I was hoping the Fatty would mimic the same performance. I have not notice any change in behavior. Perfect for me.

This pipe added a good amount of power to my KDX. I ran it side by side with a friend's stock kdx and my bike easily out accelerated him. The difference in power is quite noticeable. I ran the pipe with the stock KDX silencer.

This pipe came on my rm when I bought it. I bought a used stock pipe to compare the them and the sst gave the bike a stronger over-rev with a smother bottom end. The stock pipe was more torquey in the bottom end and turned on sooner and signed off sooner. I decided to keep the stock pipe and sell the sst. If you like shiney pipes and want more top end out of your bike and are willing to compromise some bottom end, this might be the right pipe for you. Remember, you don't get somethin for nothin.

27" Dell UltraSharp U2713HM 2560x1440 IPS LED Monitor w/ USB 3.0 Hub $650 + Free Shipping
Well, the Korean monitors have their place. The value for the price is exceptional for picture quality but the build quality and lack of options and controls are poor. You get what you pay for in that sense. I was lucky to be able to go to the electronics market in Seoul so I got my 27" Schimian for just over $200 NIB.
I'm worried about the longevity of my monitor. The Dell will have a warranty and I know people who have had their older 27 and 30s for what seems like forever. If the Korean one breaks I'm SOL. But I knew that going in. This is a great price for this high resolution monitor. 4K monitor prices aren't even being revealed yet so if I were in the market I would get this one.

But they still don't even hold a flame next to the Dell (especially the U2713H, not the HM) in regards to picture quality. |
because 1080p is so last year. I propose a nation wide ban on all 27" monitors less 1440p. its a crime to have to look at pixels that big.

Without the $90 bonus from xmas giftcards, this deal is not hot anymore.
I got mine with 5 year warranty for $575 OOP shipped. I am not sure if I am 100% happy with it though, as expensive as it is, it has issues. But it only draws like 22 watts, that is impressive compared to the 60 watt koreans. |
The yen rate has been terrible until very recently so it was worth my time to buy it in Seoul instead of using gmarket and paying in JPY. Plus I saved on the shipping cost since I was there on my work's dime. Last edited by rshiggs; 01-10-2013 at 03:59 AM.. Reason: added about the JPY - USD rate |
I haven't personally tested it directly against the Dell 27" but I have with a 24" Dell Ultrasharp (IPS) and they both looked great. They both blow my Viewsonic 24" (P-MVA panel) away. |

I'd like to, I'd like to say something that I've prepared tonight. Hello. How 'bout that ride in? I guess that's why they call it Sin City. You guys might not know this, but I consider myself a bit of a loner. I tend to think of myself as a one-man wolf pack. But when my sister brought Doug home, I knew he was one of my own. And my wolf pack, it grew by one. So - there were two of us in the wolf pack. I was alone first in the pack, and then Doug joined in later. And six months ago, when Doug introduced me to you guys, I thought, 'Wait a second, could it be?' And now I know for sure, I just added two more guys to my wolf pack. Four of us wolves, running around the desert together, in Las Vegas, looking for strippers and cocaine. So tonight, I make a toast! (He pulled out a knife and cut his palm) Blood brothers! |

Looking for a clan? Join the Kaze Fighters! Kaze means "wind" in Japanese so essentially it is "Wind" Fighters. This name was chosen because Naruto's nature affinity is wind and shippuden means "hurricane chronicles" and Kazekage is the name given to the Village Hidden in the Sand's leader. It is also paired with fighters because my friend and I who are the creators of the clan are in love with the 4th opening of the Naruto series, Fighting dreamers. Intro About Myself Let me till you just some small info about myself, I have been playing naruto arena since I was in 2007. I am not going to lie to you, my friend and I are new at this clan stuff, but we promise you, we will do everything it takes to learn the foundation of clan building and maintaining a clan and expand our knowledge! Requirements ~THERE ARE NO REQUIREMENTS IN TERMS OF LEVEL, RANK OR STREAK There are some rules you have to abide by though ~Be kind ~Be cooperative ~Respect your other clan members IF YOU ARE SKILLED OR KNOW HOW TO DO PRODUCE GFX'S PLEASE NOTIFY THE CLAN LEADERS Ranks ~Kaze ~Elite ~Sensei ~Special Jounin ~Fighter ~Shinobi ~Mercanery ~Rouge Ninja ~Graduate of the Academy ~Recruit Ranks will not be based on skill or level. There are various ways you can go up in rank. Every person who joins the clan will start as a recruit for 24 hours and will become a Graduate of the Academy. Ranks will be given on cooperation, how you contribute to the clan, and your behavior. Basically, you have to earn it, but don't worry we are not harsh! Benefits on Joining the Clan ~We have just put up a chat box and a forum is on the way! ~We will have interesting topics and debates over Naruto and other things such as favorite TV shows, movies, etc. ~We are currently low on people who know how to produce GFX's (If you are skilled or you know someone please inform us) but we have banners being produced and will keep on coming! ~This clan is for people who just want to have fun and enjoy playing naruto arena! ~We will help each other out in missions or anything else in general about the game ~Hopefully, we will form close bonds and be a family! How to Join ~If you are interested, private message rasengan_360 or OGskips! If you want one of your friends to join, you can have them PM us. Remember, all are welcome! Again, if you are experienced with GFX's, please inform us. THANKS EVERYONE! DATTEBAYO! |

If a good board is important to your company, why leave its administration a part-time afterthought? More companies are aiming for boardroom excellence with a full-time board staff person.
Jodi Kass, director of the office of the corporate secretary at Time-Warner, puts 70 to 75% of her time into managing the media giant's board. "I'm a central resource for the board," says Klass. "They can find me whenever they need information." Though Kass handles the typical board support duties (mailings, putting together agendas and meeting packages, scheduling) her dedicated status lets Time-Warner put more thought and innovation into meeting boardroom demands. For example:
Board manager Klass's most important bit of advice: "Learn who your board members are, their interests and how you can be helpful. The board is your audience."

Pretty in Prints: Serial Cultura Spring 2010
For proof that print is, indeed, alive and well, look no further than the Spring 2010 collection from Serial Cultura.
The fifth collection from Oakland-based designer Jen Jennings continues the label's love affair with bold hues and graphic prints paired with simple, flowing silhouettes. Inspired by traditional quilt patterns and optical art, Jennings' new prints for spring abound in bright hues that can't help but pop against the surrounding neutrals, blues and muted grays.
"I was also playing with layering of different prints. I also love color and wanted to create very graphic shapes that were very colorful and bold," says Jennings.

I think MLPs make a lot of sense when used properly. The risk to them is that you should expect them to get hit hard if oil and or natural gas drop in price. If a particular MLP is up a lot, relatively, you should expect it has the capacity to go down a lot, if energy prices fall.
I don't think energy prices will fall but that does not mean you are not taking the risk. I know that a lot of people have too many of these because of the yield and they are up a lot too. The answer I get when I ask is that they don't mind if they drop because they are still getting the yield.
I have to confess I do not understand the logic at all. Here I am talking about people that are very overweight not people that have 4% or 5% of their portfolio in them.
I think owning them is more work than a lot of people realize. US based MLPs pay royalties on depleting assets. US law prohibits MLPs from purchasing other assets to replace what is being depleted. Canadian trusts have no such restrictions. An investor that owns 20 MLPs should understand the depleting asset aspect of this which is a lot of work.
Further, if a ten year bond yields four point whatever percent and you are getting 11% in some sort of MLP, how much risk do you think you are taking? This is, of course, subjective and some elevated risk is appropriate but too much of anything is a bad idea.
Last June I reduced exposure to this part of the energy world because they had become so faddish and the one I sold had gone up a lot more than I ever expected it to when I bought it. Most clients have a little exposure but I think too many of these is a very aggressive stance, more so than I want to be.

One point that I've heard is that MLP's are not directly tied to the price of oil/gas. The logic is that as long as the pipelines are carrying oil/gas...then they are paying a "tariff" to the MLP. So this applies to $50 oil...or $80 oil for example. I don't necessarily buy this b/c if oil drops $20 wouldn't the flow be affected somehow? I've also run the numbers on a basket of pipeline MLP's vs. the price of oil and the data proved that they were statistically not correlated. Over the last 12 yrs MPL Pipelines had -.04 correlation to the domestic price of oil. Its all just left me shrugging my shoulders on the whole deal.
Thanks for your thoughts though!

Roger, I think you're confusing MLPs with American Energy Trusts. MLPs are largely pipeline and storage facillities...they rarely take ownership of the commodity...thus they have little exposure to energy prices.
You're right about American Energy Trusts not being able to purchase new assets though. Thus, Canadian Energy Trusts are largely high yielding E&P energy companies to some extent.
I think short term, with energy prices decreasing slightly, you will see some weakness in energy trusts but long term, I am quite bullish. SG&A is increasing but so are the payout ratios. My top pick is HTE.
As for MLPs, I think the worst is over for them now that Fed tightening might end. I think XTEX is a total buy...tons of organic growth projects scheduled in 2006 will double their distributable cash flow. - 7:15 AM

Book Description:The paperback of the Sunday Times bestseller that reveals how the earth became the shape it is today. This book will change the way you see the world - permanently. The face of the earth, criss-crossed by chains of mountains like the scars of old wounds, has changed constantly over billions of years. Its shape records a remote past of earthquakes, volcanos and continental drift, and the ongoing subtle shifts that bring our planet alive. Richard Fortey introduces us to the earth's distinct character, revealing the life that it leads when humans aren't watching. He follows the continual movement of seabeds, valleys, mountain ranges and ice caps and shows how everything - our culture, natural history, even the formation of our cities - has its roots in geology. In Richard Fortey's hands, geology becomes vital and exhilarating and unmistakably informs our lives in the most intimate way.
