Ibis is known in the cycling industry for the expert craftsmanship and high-grade materials that go into the manufacturing of their bicycles. To understand how it all started, take a trip back in time to1980. Ibis founder, Scot Nicol read an article about the new "Klunker Bike" movement in the Spring issue of CoEvolution Quarterly—a friendly hippy magazine. The seed was planted. In 1981, in a workshop in Mendocino, California, the first Ibis bicycle was made. Glassy eyed onlookers saw the bicycle and asked Scot if he could produce more. Fast forward 30 years to present-day Ibis: a renowned boutique bicycle manufacturer with humble beginnings that continues to raise the bar in the mountain bike world.
The Ibis Mojo HDR shares the soul of the original Ibis Mojo HD but has a funk all its own! The Mojo HDR features the newest wheel trend, 650b/ 27.5". The new 27.5" platform truly is the best of both worlds, the agility of a 26" platform with the momentum of a 29er. The Mojo DHR is slightly lighter than the Mojo HD, about .3 to .4 of a pound lighter. However, the HDR is stronger and equal to the HD's stiffness. The more precise molding technique helps to keep the weight down, without sacrificing the ride. The linkage location has been shifted to accommodate an ISCG 05 chain guide. Front derailleur compatibility dramatically increased, as the HDR accepts both 2x and 3x setups. There is also increased clearance to accommodate 11 speed cog sets. The tapered headset provides an extremely rigid front end platform, particularly when pushing hard. The HD is also compatible with the King InSet 3 headset.
Ibis worked hard to create a truly versatile bike that can handle a plethora of trails. The HDR can be setup in a number of different ways to accommodate the trails you love. You can easily change the front and rear travel and change the wheel size to dial in the right ride for you. Add or remove the "Limbo Chip" to change the wheelbase platform. Appropriate Limbo Chip for 130mm of travel comes installed on the frame.

I invest in dividend stocks, in order to generate a sufficient income stream, that would meet and exceed my expenses in retirement. Retirement to me is the point where my dividend income exceeds my expenses, which means that I no longer have to work for money. I am a big proponent of value investing, which is why I would only consider myself financially independent whenever the dividend income stream generated by my portfolio exceeds 1.5 times my annual expenses.
In order to get there, there are several simple, but crucial principles I need to follow.
The first principle in building wealth through dividend paying stocks is to spend less than what you earn. I have consistently managed to save approximately half of my after-tax income every month. In addition, any bonus or raise received has been designated to my dividend growth portfolio. It also doesn't hurt to try looking for additional income opportunities, which are dependent on my skillset. By investing as much as possible, I can grow my portfolio and the income stream it produces very quickly. In addition, by spending half of my salary for example and keeping expenses low, I would only need 50% less than what I currently make in terms of dividend income. In addition, regular saving helps me to consistently add to my portfolio. This regular dollar cost averaging over time into positions that are attractively priced, creates another layer of safety.
The second principle is to invest your money very conservatively. I invest my money as if I would lose my job and I would have to depend on my portfolio income for my sole purpose of survival. As a result I do not chase hot stocks or try to outsmart the market through frequent trading or market timing. I have designated a simple strategy, which fits my personality and which works for me. Since I have designated the strategy, and since I have had years of experience in the markets, I know when to look for an investment opportunity. I do continuously try to learn as much as possible about markets, investing and other strategies, in order to find ways to improve.
The third principle is somewhat similar to the second. It is all about designing an investment strategy and sticking to it for most of the part. My strategy entails:
1) Stocks that have a 10 year record of consistent dividend raises
2) P/E ratios of less than 20
3) Dividend payout ratios of less than 60%. For MLPs, REITs and Utilities I evaluate each opportunity on an individual basis
4) Dividend yield exceeding 2.50%, although I do change this requirement depending on the dividend yield on the S&P 500
5) Quality characteristics such as wide moat, strong competitive advantages, strong brand names, rising earnings, decreasing number of shares etc
While I mostly stick to my strategy, I sometimes do deviate from it. I have purchased companies yielding less than 2.50%, or ones which have had less than 10 years of consistent dividend increases. I have not purchased stocks whose P/E ratio was above 20 times earnings however. Valuation is paramount in my investment decision. I typically expect that the distributions from my dividend portfolio would grow organically by about 6% per year. In comparison, dividends on Dow Jones Industrials Average grew by over 5% per year between 1920 and 2005. The rising dividend stream will maintain purchasing power of my income stream by protecting it from inflation. The types of companies I invest in include such blue chips like Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) or PepsiCo (PEP).
The fourth principle involved selling underperforming shares. While I take a great amount of time analyzing companies and making sure they are priced right before I purchase them, I realize that things could change and that I should not be married to a stock that does not deliver results. In a previous article I mentioned that typically sell dividend stocks only after three events have occurred. One of these events includes dividend cuts. If a company whose stock I own lowers or eliminates dividend payment, I immediately sell and reinvest the proceeds into an investment from a similar sector that is priced attractively. For example, when I sold British Petroleum (BP) in 2010, I immediately purchased shares of Royal Dutch Shell (RDS/B). As a result, I was able to replace the dividend income to a certain extent, and still had exposure to the Energy sector.
The fifth principle is all about diversification. I try to maintain a diversified income portfolio, which has over 40 individual securities in it. The portfolio is not equally weighted, as it has been built over a long period of time. It includes a fair amount of underweight positions, which were accumulated when they were attractively valued, but are no longer fairly valued. Examples include Family Dollar (FDO) and Yum! Brands (YUM). The reason behind diversification is to ensure that the income stream is not severely affected when one or two of the stocks I own cut distributions. A dividend cut in a portfolio of less than 10 stocks will severely affect the income stream. A dividend cut in a portfolio of over 30 stocks will not affect the dividend income. In an equally weighted portfolio, even if the dividend is completely eliminated in one or two components, the total income can still grow if the other components grow distributions and if the sold stocks are replaced strategically.
The sixth principle of my wealth accumulation strategy is strategically reinvesting dividends. While I plan that my dividend growth portfolio will generate organic dividend growth of 6% per year, by reinvesting dividends, I can generate a much higher total growth in portfolio distribution income over time. Basically I am turbocharging my total dividend income by purchasing shares which rise dividend payments, then reinvesting these dividend payments and also adding new capital to the portfolio every single month. I typically wait for the amount of dividends and the amount of new capital to reach $1000 before I purchase a new or additional position in a given company. I do not automatically reinvest dividends, because I do not want to purchase additional shares in a company that overvalued.
In summary, by saving money, investing them in blue chip dividend growth stocks and reinvesting dividends and new capital, I plan to generate enough dividends to make me financially independent. I follow the six principles in my wealth accumulation and dividend income generation. My dividend income is getting closer to 40% - 45% of my expenses, after following these guidelines for a several years. In a few short years, my dividend income should be able to exceed my monthly expenses, without having to endure a lower standard of living.

My Dividend Retirement Plan
I invest in dividend stocks, in order to generate a sufficient income stream, that would meet and exceed my expenses in retirement. Retirement to me is the point where my dividend income exceeds my expenses, which means that I no longer have to work for money. I am a big proponent of value investing, which is why I would only consider myself financially independent whenever the dividend income stream generated by my portfolio exceeds 1.5 times my annual expenses.

You have an excellent approach. With the wave of retiring baby boomers shifting assets to seek income your approach,in addition to achieving the income goal, may very well produce exceptional performance relative to standard benchmarks.ReplyDelete
A thumbs up for investing conservatively. Those who got hurt the most during the lost decade were the ones who took unnecessary risks.ReplyDelete
From my backtests, those who invested in defensive, low-beta stocks, actually beat the market handily.
Excellent post. Your strategy is very similar to mine, but you have expressed it more clearly and succinctly than I could probably do. Best of luck in 2012 and beyond!ReplyDelete
Can you comment on your frequency of purchases, your discount broker, and how those fees impact or determine your investing?ReplyDelete
That is awesome, I loved reading that.ReplyDelete
You are an inspiration.

Excellent, this is the kind of thing I have been wanting to hear, your strategy in a nutshell, very good! I had especially wanted to know if you reinvested dividends by DRIP and you answered that. I hold about ten of your recommended stocks, all were picked before seeing your blog, which I now read regularly. I always make sure I choose stocks that beat the S&P over a long time period, and I always read the annual report before investing a single buck.ReplyDelete
Do mutual funds (for more diversification) or bond funds (for static income) play a part in your investing at all?
Do you have any recommendations on trading accounts? I have to assume that since you are investing long term, you've settled on using someone who'll be around a while like iTrade or Questrade.ReplyDelete
For someone starting out here, do you have any recommendations on setting up an account and how to initially structure a portfolio (say with $5000).

Don't you think you could retire a lot sooner if you took advantage of an IRA? The tax advantages are so great, and if you are planning to retire early, there is no penalty on doing so as long as you keep taking distributions until you are 60. Seems like a big mistake to not take advantage of that.ReplyDelete
Love it. Thanks for what you do!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 9, 2012 at 5:46 PM
Your strategy sounds good. The KEY is sticking to the plan and keeping expenses low. I enjoy reading investing philosophies. What do you think about etfs that try tonfollow your metrics such as PID?ReplyDelete
I have been using a similar approach except I let all the dividends reinvest automatically and pay no fee. I have many of the same investments that you own all in IRA/401k accounts. My only exception is that I hung onto a couple of non-dividend growth stocks such as AAPL & ISRG.ReplyDelete
This is a great article! I agree with most everything here and you state it very clearly. Although reading online articles are great, I would also like to have a face-to-face conversation. Does anyone know to find an investment adviser offering good dividend growth investment advice? I'm not sure how to find one in my town.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 11, 2012 at 1:57 PM
I think you want to look for a independent advisor in your area that works for a flat fee or commission, according to the size of your portfolio. Such persons don't push certain stocks, but design a investment plan for you. You could tell them that you wish a dividend growth portfolio and have a discussion about it. There is much info online though, I'll bet you will pay them to find you stocks that are common knowledge, such as those recommended in this fine blog and others.
Good luck to you!
Outstanding post.ReplyDelete
Nice write up but I'm curious about your thoughts on RDS since it hasn't raised it's div since Q2 2009?ReplyDelete
Nice strategy. Good luck with that.ReplyDelete

Excellent post! I have been implementing this strategy for about 8 years now. It works very well for me. I just want to add, as advice, to subscribe to a dividend stock newsletter. I am getting very good tips from them. Other than that, this article is right on for someone who is serious about financial freedom...ReplyDelete
- AnonymousDecember 27, 2012 at 3:45 AM
I like your strategy as well. Keep up the good work for us.ReplyDelete
I am also curious about trying to balance dividends across the year.
Although I am just getting started, my portfolio throws off almost $12K/year but I can't seem to get a good balance. 9 months of the year I have anywhere from $1100 to $1400 in dividends. But for 3 months of the year between $200 and $400.
And as I get closer to retiring (60 now) I will want the dividends to throw off a relatively level amount of income.
Have you given any thought to this in your planning?

Awesome thank you postcards
We have had a lot of compliments on our magnet invites and thank you postcards
Love it
I was so happy with my design. The card came in about a little over week, even during the holidays! I had great customer service, the card was easy design, and the quality of the card was clear. I was very happy overall with Magnet Street! My only complaint (which isn't related to Magnet Street, but does apply) is that my friends and family received the cards with rips, smears of ink on them, and bar codes right over our picture. I paid extra with the post office (65 cents each) to have them hand stamped and was told they wouldn't go through any machines. I'd recommend putting the postcard in an envelope or your picture will most likely be delivered with problems. :(

More lenses
Mount type
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Nikon was one of the last big camera makers to offer a mirrorless model but when they finally announced the Nikon 1 system back in September, 2011, they attracted some controversy for adopting a new smaller sensor than rivals. Since then, they've done well to increase popularity of the system by expanding the range of lenses in a relatively short time frame. The 1 Nikkor 6.7-13mm f/3.5-5.6 and the 18.5mm f/1.8 are two of the newest models from the firm. Read on to see how well they perform when mounted on the Nikon 1 V1 body.

I really really think this guy is going to be good. geesh i'm ready for the season to start
I know y'all liked the Anthony Davis one, so here you go.
Lookout Hugo, we have a new mascot in town.
I really really think this guy is going to be good. geesh i'm ready for the season to start
If you watched Rivers play at Duke, you could see (especially towards the end of the season) he was finding his teammates frequently, but they would miss the open shot. Not his fault that Coach K asked him to be a scorer, and he had no offensive help whatsoever, so opposing defenses focused on him all game. The kid is going to be a stud, mark my words. He has a lot of refining to do and a lot of work to be done, but there is no doubt in my mind that he'll do it because the guy wants to be a HOF type player. He wants to be great, and with that passion and drive, and with Monty's coaching, and playing next to studs like Gordon and Davis (and Anderson), he is going to surprise a lot of people.
Expect a transition year or two, because he needs to learn how to run an offense, but I think he'll average 12+ points a game next year coming off the bench, assuming he gets 25+ minutes per game.
Also, his defense is very underrated, as is his athleticism. I've seen him d-up when he wants to, and playing for a coach like Monty, he'll have to before he gets any PT. To see his athleticism, do yourself a favor and watch this short video:
Here is Rivers crossing up John Wall, one of the quickest players in the league.
No athleticism? LOL! Whoever said that about the kid needs to be beaten thoroughly.
I believe he has the best cross over since Iverson, and I don't have any doubt about it.
Unathletic? Hell no.
Out of control a lot? Yes.

........Good morning!
Hello there!
Today has started better than yesterday so far, so fingers crossed.
I am wearing Eau Ressourcante by Clarins. This scent with calming
essential oils always centres me and makes me feel I can take on the world.
A woman without perfume is like a flower without a scent.
i think it's becoming my favourite vetiver (freak)..good weekend to all.
Good Morning,

Hi again. Samples I ordered from Brecourt arrived just now. I ordered 4, but received 3 extra! Very generous of them

Have I told you about the scent of jasmine? Have I spoken about the smell of the sea? The earth is scented. And I perfume myself to enhance what I am. That's why I can not wear a perfume that bothers me. Perfuming is an instinctive wisdom. And like all art, it requires some knowledge of yourself..."

SOTD is DSH Perfumes Au Lait, a lovely, cozy, your-skin-but-better scent with milky-vanillic accents. There's a touch of something sensual, too, like ambrette and/or musk, that keeps it from being straight foody.
Happy Friday, all!

Good morning all! Today I'm wearing a vintage perfume by Avon called Evermore as it's listed on this website. My bottle actually is named Splendour which is the same perfume with a name change made in the 90's I believe. A very spicy, skanky fragrance.
Hi everyone!
It's cold this morning, 30 degrees with a good coating of frost.
Big day for me, it's 1 year today since I ended up in the emergency room. The surgery and all the major complications I had after, make me feel so thankful that I made it through it despite the odds. Something like that really make you appreciate each and every day.
Celebrating by buying a bottle of Lumiere Noire Pour Femme, it's also my SotD. Will try to sync later.
Have a great weekend, everyone!
Si Lolita. A nice, peppery kick to brighten up this dreary day.

I would have joined Evangeline in Safari for Scent Synch, but I haven't had that in years. And then I thought, "what a perfect day for Antilope!". But I don't have that one either. So...I rummaged through the samples and came up with Le Maroc pour Elle by Andy Tauer. It's gorgeous. It would work better for me as an evening scent, though, as it is a super-potent floral. The Mister just walked down the opposite end of the hallway saying, "phssssssh....I can smell that stinky perfume!" I only dabbed a bit. But I stink so gooood!! (channeling Quarry).
Because, as announced on Ix o1,
I think today I will just wear three layers of Jicky. Since, even with three layers on, this is tantamount to wearing nothing, It comes interestingly close to wearing an olfactory simulation of the complete absence of chromatic saturation.

I had sprayed Mitsouko before checking out the Sync Fri. thingie. Even so, I can't think of anything I have that is Africa-themed.
Synched in Fumerie Turque from a most generous BN friend. Lovely smokey blanket of a scent.
A good weekend to all. See you in 8 days. I'm off to pack now
I'm in synch with Dior Homme, as I'm sure it is African iris that is used.........I'm totally joking I missed synch day again
Kiliwia, what a wonderful day it is indeed!!! Congrats on your special purchase, and celebrate your "birthday" in style.

I smell of too many orange blossom scents now, LOL. Tried on several for observations sake. Narcisse Noir and Jupiter To Juno would be two of perhaps up to four I tried on my skin LOL. I like o. blossom but I feel blasted everywhere..too much, LOL.
((RHM)) hope your daughter feels better. (((kiliwia))) so happy for you, yes, indeed celebrate! Glad to see you treated yourself with a nice, little something.

RHM, I hope your daughter feels better soon, and that you are doing OK too.
Good Evening,
Have fun tomorrow, Jon !
Kiliwia - a cause for celebration, indeed.
Not even remotely synching in Chanel Cuir de Russie - vintage EdT.
Best to all.
Older version Van Cleef & Arpels First edp. What an incredible fragrance; the daffodils and honey are almost gourmand on me, but then the animalics cut through--resolutely old-fashioned, and the composed drama of those unremitting aldehydes! It's finally cooler and moody-dark here in St. Louis, just the way I like it and much better for perfume wearing. You can take the girl out of Seattle, etc. etc.
Will be changing into Maroc by Ultima II for the sync. Hope everyone has a great weekend.
Good afternoon, all!

MdM, I'm sorry your Jicky is so wan. Are you wearing the newest formulation because you want to break the new office personnel in gently??
Jon, I like your synch connection!
Kumquat, I forgot about Panthere!
Le Maroc pour Elle is still going strong. For a while there it smelled similar to EldO Incens et Bubblegum (sp?) and also a little like By Kilian's Sweet Redemption - in other words, very sweet and floral, which I love. Then I was gettig an almondy impression. Now, it has dried down to a pleasant sort of sweet and smoky incense.
Ha! I made the same sort of connection this morning as Jon, but rethought it when I realized Safari more perfectly fit the sync ...but as it happens, I've been craving this gorgeous Absolu ever since, so it's now my sota ...even though it really has even less of an African connection than By Man, which at least comes in a zebra-striped bottle!
Kiliwia - congratulations, that's so great! You enjoy your gorgeous new Lumière Noir PF in the best of health! I love that one, too - such a beauty.
That sure is a lot of Tchaikovsky, Jon - enjoy your weekend!
kumquat - you always smell great, but something about you this afternoon seems so ...oh, I don't know ...youthful, somehow.

Am testing Amouage Lyric Woman.
It's lovely, but to my untrained nose which fails to interpret nuances in notes, it smells a tad similar to Ormonde Jayne's Taif and Rosine's Rose Kashmirie.
Exquisite spicy rose, nevertheless.

I've trademarked the color bleu
Just a couple of dabs of Bourbon French Anastasia this evening. I daren't wear anything stronger...the hubs is too close tonight, he will complain. We are having a bed-Friday-night media binge: dinner (cheese, crackers and a sliced apple), newspapers, kindlefire, laptop, TV with baseball game, we two, the dog, all together in bed. I enjoy these evenings. We only need one room to live in. Speaking of Funk...he's got a good three day one going himself. He has announced his intention to shower and shave tonight, though. And he complains about my stinky perfume!! The dog thinks he smells wonderful. She is gazing at him with adoring eyes and licking his hand with relish. Speaking of Bourbon French...I just made hotel/flight res for NOLA for Christmas week. I am going to stop by and say hello to Mary at BF, and I'm going to stop by the other places we visited last year too, Hové and Avery.

Excellent quality & service
We ordered invitations, reply cards, reception inserts, favor tags, and ceremony programs all of this design (Whom My Soul Loves) and were so pleased with them! We ordered the Pearl upgraded card stock and it was beautiful. The only negative about the pearl is that it was very difficult to write on for the Reply Cards, so I would recommend getting different card stock for those. Overall, we loved the products we ordered and would recomment Magnet Street to anyone. They were very prompt with each order we placed.
very pleased!
We ordered our save the dates and our wedding invitations from magnet street and were blown away by both! The designs are all completely customizable so you get exactly what you are looking for! They are shipped quickly and arrive in no time! When you get your order it is packaged so nicely in a cute, yet sturdy box. We plan to use magnet street for our wedding programs, thank you cards, and who knows what else in the future!
Great product. Ordered wedding invites from magnetstreet and just had to order bridal shower invites from here as well the quality was amazing.
Lace and flowers, how can you go wrong?
They provide great paper quality, and ordering samples in your colors guarantees you're getting it right. Plus, how can you pass up their constant coupons and giveaways?
AMAZING invites!
I'm so excited for our invitations! They're absolutely gorgeous and the design team worked with us to put our logo on several of the pieces, in different colors even.... I would definitely recommend Magnet Street for ANY invites!

By ASPCA President and CEO Matt Bershadker
On December 30, then-Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio unequivocally reaffirmed his stance against the use of carriage horses in New York City.
"We are going to quickly and aggressively move to make horse carriages no longer a part of the landscape," he said. "They are not humane, they are not appropriate for the year 2014. It's over. So, just watch us do it."
As an organization that's fought for humane treatment of horses since our founding in 1866, we share the mayor's philosophy that no economic counter-argument stands up to the sheer ridiculousness of this antiquated tradition. New York simply has a higher standard.
So we're doing our part by joining the mayor's call, standing with partners like NYCLASS, and counteracting deep troughs of misinformation with expert veterinary and animal relocation expertise. We stand ready to tap into our network of rescue partners to secure potential homes for the horses— facilities and people willing and able to open their hearts and homes to these animals.
Are there legitimate concerns about lost jobs? Absolutely. We share those concerns and encourage new ideas to address them. But using fear over facts to sway this debate is as irresponsible as suggesting strained carriage horses can be compensated with "vacation time."
This is a conversation the city needs to have. But it needs to be placed in a context of hard truth, not hyperbolic bias. New Yorkers deserve that. And so do the animals with whom we share the city.
We applaud efforts clearly in motion to take these horses off city streets, pushing both them and New York itself into a more civilized future that need not be feared.
Wonderful and so humane of the Mayor, Bill De Blasio. I want to personally thank him for his kind heart and wonderfully humane decision.
Is Bill going to contribute to the care of one of these horses.....that would be humane.
Are you going to contribute anything? And just what have you done for carriage horses? He has done more than any other Mayor to remove carriage horses so why the sarcasm?
Good for you Rita! It's the most humane thing that anyone could have done. Those horses are forced to breathe in toxic exhaust fumes every minute they are "working", never mind being labored to exhaustion daily. An animal as magnificent as the horse was not meant to be pulling overloaded carriages around amidst city traffic.
Agreed! This is a gross practice and as a life long citizen on NYC and at one time Charleston, SC where these horses are being used...this is the BEST thing that could happen!
I have lived in SC all my life, about 1 1/2 drive to Charleston. I have or will I never ridden in one of those carriages! I always thought it was ridiculous. You know our summer time is horrible here and I have been in Charleston when the temperature was over 100* plus humidity and I felt sorry for horses pulling those huge carriages with all these people on them. I have often called out to the drivers and said 'mean' things to them. They would stop their little speeches to the people on the carriages and look at me like I was crazy! But you know what, I didn't care!
They are the idiots out there do this stupid crap!
I'm with you ladies. The poor animals in New Orleans have to work in awful heat and humidity every day too. They also get to suck exhaust fumes daily. Hopefully New Orleans will be the next one to follow suit.
The carriage horses in New Orleans drowned in their stalls during Hurricane Katrina. No one tried to get them out - they were trapped.
That's horrible and very sad. That knowledge and that image will now never leave me. Katrina was a heartbreak for thousands of people and certainly for thousands of animals, as well. There should have been a contingency plan to get the horses to higher ground or to free them. Leaving them to die trapped in their stalls is unbelievably cruel. Pets were left chained in backyards or confined inside houses, but many people tried to save their pets. People who were rescued were forced to leave their animals behind, in most cases never to connect with them again. As though the victims of Katrina hadn't already lost enough!
I would donate generously to rescue efforts for the carriage horses. There are also horse rescuers in my area of PA who I'm sure would get involved.
I am 100% opposed to horses being used for carriage rides in any city. However, this post is inaccurate. Carriage horses, mules and animals were rescued by good people in the days following Hurricane Katrina. Most unfortunately, there were deaths of animals and humans. But it is inflammatory to imply what this poster said.

Murder in the Mews: Four Cases of Hercule Poirot
Murder in the Mews: Four Cases of Hercule Poirot (Paperback)
How did a woman holding a pistol in her right hand manage to shoot herself in the left temple? What was the link between a ghost sighting and the disappearance of top secret military plans? How did the bullet that killed Sir Gervase shatter a mirror in another part of the room? And should the beautiful Valentine Chantry flee for her life from the holiday island of Rhodes?
Hercule Poirot is faced with four mystifying cases each a miniature classic of characterization, incident, and suspense.
About the Author

Her books have sold over a billion copies in English and another billion in one hundred foreign countries. She is the author of eighty novels and short-story collections, nineteen plays, and six novels under the name Mary Westmacott. She died in 1976.
Praise for Murder in the Mews: Four Cases of Hercule Poirot…
"All great characters are capable of entertaining us again and again, but only the very greatest are new every time we read them. Hercule Poirot is a member of this very small club."

|Bustling Wonderland Toy Event Brings Relief to All Children's Parents
The spirit of giving filled the air at the second annual All Kids Wonderland - and those on the receiving end couldn't have been more surprised or grateful.
Once again, the new holiday tradition at All Children's helped ease the minds of worried parents, allowing them to select from a wide array of welcome presents for their hospitalized young ones.
A large conference room in the Outpatient Care Center was transformed into a jaw-dropping toy shop for kids of all ages. Rows of tables were piled high with the kind of colorful goodies you'd find at any major store. Parents were given 10 tickets per child to spend any way they wanted - 1-ticket items such as Nerf footballs, lunch boxes or little dolls all the way up to five-ticket goodies like dazzling new bicycles.
If they preferred, moms and dads could also opt for gift cards to area retail establishments - and an entire section was devoted to parents of babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, stocked with practical gifts such as diapers, onesies, rattles and more. And talk about stocking stuffers: An entire corner of the room was stacked with stuffed animals - free for parents to take for their sick child and siblings.
The event began with an all-day Saturday set-up by members of the Child Life Department, which created and coordinated the event, as well as a brigade of 150-plus volunteers from the community. And it was in high gear Sunday and Monday, with some 250 families arriving wide-eyed at the sight of all the merchandise - including donations from more than 1,000 individuals or groups to help sponsor the event.
Volunteers were on hand to assist the parents or answer questions, while another group of helpers in a separate room gift-wrapped all the presents parents had eagerly hand-picked.
"What makes me feel so good," said Child Life Director Kristin Maier, "is the dedication, the very unselfish giving of time, of gifts, of money - and just the sheer generosity and humility that people express in trying to serve the children of this hospital."
Those traits were on full display during the event.
"This is just amazing," said one mother, shopping for her teenage daughter who had been rushed to All Children's the night before. She worried how she would be able to get any Christmas presents this year for the girl or another daughter, but all that changed when she was invited to the Wonderland event. Suddenly, her basket was filled with such things make-up kits, art sets and gift cards. "This is just a huge blessing," she said. "I probably would only have been able to get them necessities, like a pair of pajamas or shampoo, otherwise."
Not far away, a father wheeled out a basket loaded down with toys - including a rocking horse, dolls and coloring books for his 3-year-old daughter who was taken to the Emergency Center with seizures during the night, and a slick new bicycle for her 7-year-old brother.
"This just warms my heart," the father said, tears streaming down his cheeks. "Her brother was at home crying and screaming because he wanted to come and be with his sister. The incredible thing is, the last thing I'd planned to buy him for Christmas was a bicycle -- I was going to go shopping for one today. I figured there was no way that would happen after last night, but then they told me about this event. And now he's going to have a bicycle after all."
That's the kind of thing that happens many times over at All Kids Wonderland, and what makes Maier and her staff - who worked long hours with little sleep to pull everything off - know it was all worthwhile.
"There's been a lot going on in the hospital this time of year, unfortunately, with some really difficult situations," added Maier. "We've had families who are struggling with the moment, just getting through what's going on with their child. They were encouraged to come over and were completely overwhelmed. But this helped them to reframe and focus back on their child being a child. It really helped them to shop for the child that they're worried about right now, and it brought them a sense of hope again."

During the Christmas / Hanukkah holidays we are blessed if we are able to gather with our families and friends and share the good tidings and blessings of the season. But this year inexplicable and unspeakable events have drawn the eyes of the world upon us. As a nation we were horrified to learn of the tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut. The suffering of the families there is unfathomable, and if we learn nothing else from it, we must learn to never take for granted the gift we have in each breath we take. Our hope is our future and our future is our children. May God bless you and your family wherever you may be. May God bless the men and women of our Armed Forces. And on this Christmas especially, may God bring...

Liked the way the product operated. It was a bit to long for me. Only after the second use the spinning part broke inside and it was useless after that. Felt like it was a waste of my money because it's cheaply made and don't last. I have had better for a much lesser cost.

If you've arrived at this article, then there's a better than average chance that you're considering finding yourself a career in the accounting sector. And who can blame you! Accountants are in high demand, with a supply that never seems to be quite enough to completely fill that demand, so there is a lot of job security associated with Accountancy. Not to mention that accountants tend to get paid higher salaries than the average salary in the United States of America.
It takes qualifications to become an accountant though, and one of the best qualifications you can target is the CPA, which requires that you pass an exam. More on this can be found at Crush The CPA Exam. It's a great site, with lots of information that you can use to further boost your traction in the accounting field.
If accountancy truly interests you, then I'd like to recommend that you check out the following URL: http://crushthecpaexam.com

PTO changes the way it invests in IT systems
Wednesday - 9/12/2012, 9:39am EDT
The Patent and Trademark Office has found millions of dollars to upgrade legacy systems. And it did so without a budget increase or getting more user fees from companies.
Instead, John Owens, PTO's chief information officer, reduced the amount of its technology budget going to support legacy systems. He said PTO used to spend 85 percent of its budget on operations and maintenance (O&M) support and 15 percent on development, modernization and enhancements (DME) of systems. Now, the agency spends 50 percent on each.
"Over the last two years, we've done continuous scrubbing twice a year of our budget, very finely and detailed, to lower O&M costs to about 50 percent," he said. "All the rest of that money was reallocated to capital expenditure funds and that allows us to continue to build the new systems, which allows me to turn off the legacy systems, and therefore reduce operations and maintenance. That is a great cycle to get into that's really helped push the modern culture forward by identifying what's important to the business in meeting those needs and throwing everything else into the bucket for a later date or not doing them at all."
Owens said to change the way PTO spends IT money was a combination of two factors: leadership from the top, and challenging the business units to understand what they need and what they don't need in terms of technology and functionality.
"We have slowly migrated legacy systems on to a modern, virtualized platform, keeping the costs low and writing it in modern languages," he said. "We also have limited the amount of change to the legacy applications keeps the costs lower."
Owens said he asks the business unit three questions:
- Is this an IT project that moves the business forward?
- What benefits does it have to the business?
- Can it wait for a later date when we have a more modern patent or trademarks system?
"That's a hard choice sometimes to make. Sometimes we do modify legacy systems to keep the business moving," he said. "But that choice is now the forefront question asked instead of last thing asked or never asked at all."
Owens said the ability to shift O&M dollars to DME spending has helped PTO complete seven of nine infrastructure modernization projects on time and on budget. These initiatives covered everything from basic network infrastructure to connectivity to systems virtualization to new PCs and laptops.
Owens said the other two projects should be completed in early fiscal 2013. These include the implementing the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) for configuration and change management, and a second disaster recovery backup site.
PTO's two biggest IT priorities remain improving the patent and trademark systems.
The White House routinely used the patent acceptance system as a poster child for problems with federal IT.
But Owens said the patent system is in a much better state than a year or two ago. He expects PTO to announce an updated status of the backlog of patent applications in the near future.
"Certainly from where we were before, our down time is measured in digit percents per hour of per year instead of double digits, so we've made vast strides there," he said. "The new systems, which we will be rolling out to a group of volunteer examiners will happen in November for patents and late next year for trademarks, really sets a new precedent for how we will deliver a modern, user- centered design applications, built agilely on fully modern web platforms and totally virtualized."
Owens said the trademark system started in better shape than the patent system, but it's in need of an upgrade.
He said the Trademark Next Generation initiative will focus on moving data, including text and pictures, into new technology and making it easier to find and use.
PTO, in fact, put the front end of one part of the trademark system in a cloud managed by Google, while the agency controls the back end infrastructure and the data.
Owens said the agency developed a few prototypes of the Trademark Next Generation system and will move forward with it over the next year or so.
Owens, PTO heeding call from Obama for reform
Patent reform will also overhaul Patent Office workforce

Storylines to watch: Panthers look for different ending
Snohomish coach Dan Pingrey hopes high-scoring team can finish what last year's team started
Instead the Panthers had their sights set on the Class 4A state championship -- and they looked very much like a title contender with a 16-0-1 record heading into the state playoffs.
Unfortunately for the Panthers, a 2-1 loss at the hands of eventual third-place finisher Bellarmine Prep in the first round ended what had otherwise been a special season.
"It was a lesson learned," Snohomish coach Dan Pingrey said. "We had a really good season, but we were young. We were a very technical team and did a nice job, but when we ran (up) against physical play, it was a struggle for us and that's what we ran up against."
This spring, the Panthers are trying a different approach. They still want to return to the state tournament, but gone is The Herald's 2012 player of the year, Reilly Cross, who graduated. Also not returning is first-team All-Wesco honoree John Magnus, who is prevented from playing high school soccer by being a part of the national academy league.
This year's Panthers will again be one of the local favorites, but they will be play a different style than last year's squad, which prevailed in tough, low-scoring games.
"This year we have a different mix," Pingrey said. "We have some big strong players that can make an impact. It's a nice mix."
The offense will be lead by Juan Machuca, Tyler Mayer and Uriel Herrera, who all have impressed Pingrey so far.
"It's fun to watch," he said. "In training we look at it and say, 'Maybe we'll win a lot of games 5-4.' But I truly believe that these guys can score."
Pingrey has challenged his team to shoot for the Snohomish single-season goal record, which the long-time Panthers coach said is 99.
"I threw that out to these guys. I said, '99 goals is the record. See what you can do.'"
What Snohomish does likely will determine the Wesco North race, and if the Panthers score 99 goals, it's unlikely anyone will be able to keep up with them.
'Finish the job'
The seniors at Archbishop Murphy have one goal this season: The 2A state championship.
In coach Mike Bartley's first season at the helm of the Wildcats, the team got off to a blistering start. Murphy rattled off 20 victories to start the season -- giving up just two goals in the process -- only to have everything go wrong in a 4-3 shootout loss to Cheney in the state semifinals.
"Last year was my first year, so it was just try to get as far as we could and play as well as we could," said Bartley, who also coaches the Murphy girls and has been coaching in the area for years. "Overall that is their goal: to try to finish the job."
Murphy likely will concede more goals this season after losing its senior goalkeeper and replacing two of four players on the back line. Minding the net is the biggest hiccup on a team that has numerous solid returnees.
"We're not sure who's going to get it right now," Bartley said of the goalie competition between three players. "So, that's a part we are a little worried about."
Scoring shouldn't be a concern in part thanks to first-team All-Cascade Conference honoree Josh Bartley, who just happens to be the coach's son.
Father and son plan to wipe away the bitter taste of last season's finish in their final season together.
"I've been (to the state quarterfinals) several times and (Josh) understands that to," the coach said. "We're both we're trying to win something together.
"It's the one thing I haven't done. I've got a lot of thirds and fourths over the years. It's something we've both talked about. We want to do it together."
Bulldogs return to Wesco
After six years in the Northwest League, the Mount Vernon Bulldogs' are back in the Wesco 4A -- with mixed results.
One team that figures to adjust well to its surroundings is the boys soccer team. The Bulldogs finished 16-4-2 a year ago, losing in the Class 3A state tournament to eventual runner-up Mercer Island. In fact, ending the season against top teams has become somewhat of a habit for Mount Vernon, which lost to the 3A state champions the previous three years.
Bulldog coach Tony Dabbs, who is in his eighth year, was at the helm when the team played in Wesco before and he sees positives and negatives to the change.
"Wesco pretty much every game you play is a big game," Dabbs said. "Northwest (Conference) there are some teams that aren't as challenging as others. I think this is going to prep us for postseason probably a little better."
Dabbs said his team may be one of the smaller squads in Wesco 4A, but the players will make up for the size disadvantage with their field vision, skills and defensive intensity. Despite all those tangible strengths, Dabbs said intangibles may determine how far his Bulldogs.
"The chemistry with this team is better than it has been in the past," the coach said. "They work hard for each other and our preseason trainings were pretty impressive. The more I said 'Work', the harder they worked and that's not always the case."
Dabbs would like to know more about his opponents in the new league, but he realizes the uncertainty works both ways.
"I do like that we are somewhat of a mystery to the other teams," he said.

Pair of Falcons Named to Preseason All-American Team
December 19, 2013
MISENHEIMER, N.C. A pair of Pfeiffer seniors have been named to the 2014 InsideLacrosse.com Division II Preseason All-American team. Goalie Hayden Kirk was named to the first team, while midfielder Steven Tilmon earned second team honors. Kirk and Tilmon were both chosen as Honorable Mention All-Americans and named First-Team All-Conference selections at the conclusion of their junior seasons.
Kirk started 15 games in goal last season and tallied 174 saves and an 8.63 goals against average, both good for second in the conference. He posted a 13-4 record with a .765 winning percentage. Kirk recorded a season-high 15 saves in a 16-8 victory over Catawba on Feb. 27 and allowed six or fewer goals in five contests. Kirk was especially stout at home, allowing only 7.09 goals per game.
Tilmon finished the season as Pfeiffers second leading goal scorer with 31 tallies, while adding 12 assists and 43 points. Tilmon ended the season in the top 10 of the conference in goals, shots, and shots on goal. He turned up his production during conference play as his 16 goals and 24 points were third in the league.
The duo will begin their senior seasons on Feb. 8 as they host Florida Southern at noon. The entire list of preseason All-Americans can be found here.

Best Uses
Comments about Yeti Cycles Yeti Padroni Shorts:
Beware of sizing. I wear a 36 waist in dress pants, so I ordered a XL (36 waist). It was WAAAAY too large. I went to the Riverside store and returned them and exchanged them for some size "L" (34 waist). They fit beautifully.
I will also say that the little straps to help adjust the waist size are pretty much useless. They tighten up about 1 size and it doesn't feel very secure. Thus, make sure you get the appropriate waist size! Very important with these shorts.
I use them for XC/AM at the moment. Downhill season is winding down, so I haven't had the chance to use them for that. As for XC/AM, they work beautifully. They vent well, but that has more to do with the huge about of room for the thighs. They do not fit tight around the thigh, so if you're into that sort of thing, look elsewhere.
These shorts look brilliant. I got the teal ones and they are fantastically colorful. Goes nicely with my 575! However, the Yeti logo is quite subdued, so you can easily wear these with another bike and no one notices. I wear them when I'm riding my brother's GT Marathon, and no one bats an eye.
