How much can you save with a Honeywell programmable thermostat?
HE360 Power Flow Through Humidifier
Delivers up to 18 gallons of moisture into the air each day
For homes up to 3,000 square feet
Answer: Yes. Evaporative type humidifiers release water as pure vapor. Water vapor will not create any problems with an electronic air cleaner. Misting or spray type units mounted on the return air plenum could cause problems with an electronic air cleaner.
Answer: The Honeywell VisionPRO IAQ thermostat that provides a single point of control for humidification, dehumidification, ventilation, heating and cooling in a house. For more information on this thermostat, please click here.
Answer: Honeywell recommends replacing pads once every season.
Answer: Optimal Relative Humidity (RH) is defined by industry experts* as between 40-60% RH on an average annual basis, and 35% during the heating season in dry climates. An environment with too little humidity leaves the body vulnerable to viruses and bacteria, and can cause woodwork in the house to shrink and crack. On the other hand, too much humidity creates ideal conditions for mold and mildew growth.
The recommended settings are based upon the outdoor temperature:
-20F (-30C) or below 15%
Higher temp 40%
As with any recommended settings, these are general recommendations. Other factors in the application can affect the humidity level achieved in your home. If you notice condensation on your windows, please lower the setting on the humidistat.
Answer: Honeywell recommends a minimum distance of 3 feet between a UV light and plastic fabricated devices (such as humidifiers and non-fiberglass media filters)
Answer: The humidifier can be used on a hard water supply however; the pad may need to be replaced more frequently because of possible buildup of minerals diminishing its ability to operate normally. If there is access to a water softener, then it is recommended that the water coming to the humidifier passes through the softener first.
Answer: Please verify the model number of the humidifier pad. If the model number is HC26P, then these humidifier pads do not need to be orientated in a particular direction for proper operation. The model number for these pads would be available on the carton.
Answer: There are a variety of factors that can affect the level of humidification that can be achieved. The first consideration must be to proper sizing of the humidifier. Please verify that the Humidifier either the HE360 or the HE365 fits your home's size and how tightly constructed your home is using the following guide.
House construction maximum area the (HE360 / HE365) can adequately humidify:
Loose - 1900 Square Feet
Average - 2700 Square Feet
Tight - 4200 Square Feet
Please also verify that there are no mineral deposits on the humidifier pad. Accumulations of mineral deposits on the humidifier pad can affect the ability of the pad to hold water. Change the humidifier pad if necessary.
Please be aware that colder outdoor temperatures limit the amount of humidity that can be added to your home without resulting in condensation on the windows.
The more the heat runs the more that this will dry out the air passing through a furnace or a heat pump application.
If after considering the above factors, you still feel that you are not achieving adequate humidity levels in your home, please consult your local heating and cooling contractor.
Answer: The replacement pads for a humidifier are available online through www.amazon.com, and www.medwing.com. Alternatively, some model numbers are also available through local retail stores. You can also check with your local heating and cooling contractor for assistance with purchasing humidifier pads.
Answer: For an easier installation of your humidifier, we recommend purchasing the installation kit. The installation kits are available at the most Retail Home Improvement Stores and large Hardware Stores.
Make sure you get the correct Installation Kit Model Number for your Humidifier's Model Number.
• Installation Kit Number 32005847-001 is for the HE220 or HE260 Humidifiers.
• Installation Kit Number 32005847-002 is for the HE120 or HE160 Humidifiers.
• Installation Kit Number 32005847-003 is for the HE360 Humidifier.
Typically the Installation Kit's packaging will say what model Humidifier it is used with, however if you need to order one through the Store the model number will be useful for the Retailer.
Answer: The model number of the flow-through humidifier is located at the bottom of the unit, near the water supply valve on a white sticker and begins with HE. The model number for TrueSTEAM Humidifiers is located on a sticker on the left side of the top of the unit and begins with HM.
Answer: The HE360 Powered Flow – Through Humidifier can only be installed on the warm air supply of the furnace or Air Handler. The humidifier needs to draw heated air across the pad in order to maximize the humidification output.
If the HE360 Powered Flow – Through Humidifier is mounted on the return side it will greatly reduce the efficiency of the Humidifier. If space restrictions prevent installation on the warm air supply, you should consider the HE260, a bypass flow - through humidifier.

THE MORNING SKATE — It's 10 AM, Do You Know Where Your Lubomir Is?
Kevin Schultz
"He's under contract with the Islanders and he should be here," Garth Snow told the assembled media yesterday. The 'he', of course, is Lubomir Visnovsky the staying/going/not coming defenseman of the Islanders and, more recently, HC Slovan. Visnovsky has until 10am today to report to the Island or be suspended. By the looks of it, he's not coming and we'll have
an international incident to wait and see what the next steps are. If the KHL doesn't enforce the memorandum, this may end up in court. We'll have to wait and see.
Coach Capuano was focused on the players in front of him at training camp saying; "I know there's been a lot of talk but we have to focus on the players that are here right now… There's some work that we're gonna have to talk about on our backend. That's a conversation that we're gonna have going forward."
In other areas, it seems as though it could be something that could become a distraction the longer these things go on and the more us media folks keeping talking about him. Matt Martin told Arthur Staple that it was bothersome:
It's not so much that Visnovsky doesn't love it here, it's more that he really loves home.
Something to keep an eye on, maybe, is that HC Slovan's next game is Tuesday.
That's probably the question that was asked the most yesterday after training camp rosters were announced. Missing were Nino Niederreiter, Bridgeport's leading scorer, and Matt Donovan, their leading defenseman.
By the looks of it, the Islanders are more content to go with the older and more experienced Ty Wishart and Jon Landry instead of Donovan. As for Nino, after a year of all of us questioning if he was really ready for the NHL, it sounds like he's going to get a year of the AHL.
"Nino's been great in Bridgeport," Snow said during his media availability. "It's an opportunity for him to play different roles, power play, penalty kill, play twenty minutes. It's more conducive for him to be there at this point in time."
By Snow's comments you get the sense that Nino would have a reduced role if on the Island this year. If that's the case, I would say giving him huge minutes in Bridgeport where he's the best player on the team is the way to go. Both of these non-callups, of course, could change depending on how injuries play out.
Speaking of Nino and Donovan, they factored heavily into Bridgeport's 5-4 win yesterday. Donovan had the game winner while Niederreiter had two goals to move into 6th in the AHL scoring race.
When I spoke with Michael Grabner Friday, he said that he was ready for the season and skated with the team in full. That's why it came as a bit of a surprise when he didn't head out for the first day of camp yesterday. He would eventually get on the ice and finish out practice, having to undergo extra tests for those injured abs. Could be something to keep an eye on.
…to find a different Islanders logo.
(Via @JS69)
Radek Martinek's deal is worth $600k plus $150k performance bonus for games played. The bonus doesn't count against the cap as per the new cap rules… Corey Pronman has his mid-season prospect ranking with three Islanders making the list… And finally VSV's tribute to Grabner set to, you know, Alanis Morissette…

Hi,I'm living in really hot climate, so I don't take any gloves.While thinking about possible pot handles replacement, I came up with two options:1) bend spork's end of handle to use it as handle to pot ( will work with some pots)2) use 2 tarp Ti stakes as handles. for 2 I need to modify stakes a little, so I can insert them in the handle bindings on the pot side. Do you know how thick the stake end should be in order to be inserted in that handle binding of Ti Evernew 1.3L pot?Thanks!
why would you replace the pot handle on the evernew 1.3L???? you certainly dont need gloves to pick it up, its cool to touch, its perfect as is, allows you to pick up pot and control it and pour it with one hand while holding a freezer bag with other, and is probably lighter than anything else you could come up with.
You probably don't need to replace any handles.Handles generally get hot from only two ways. One is the heat of a stove burner, and it is generally underneath and flowing up the sides, so the handle area gets hit for about one inch. The second way is from the heat of the pot contents, and it radiates and conducts out through all of the metal.What I found was that I only need to protect a little from the first way, so I wind little strips of aluminum foil around that one inch of handle nearest the heat. Cheap. Lightweight.--B.G.--
I'm sorry, I wasn't clear.If you get evernew pot without lid and handles it will save you 2 oz.So you can use spork or stakes which are already with you as a handle. I mean turn it to multifunction item (or make additional function to already multifunctional item).
i think im clear on what you are doing & want to achieve, but dont really see the point, it might be over complicating something that doesnt need to be complicated. for starters, gloves arnt the only thing that you can lift a hot pot with.i have 2 evernew pots, neither being the 1.3L (i guess this is what you are looking at), but i cant see how bending the handle of a spork is going to fit into this brand, unless this size pot has a different set up to mine or you have an interesting shaped spork or maybe you are willing to risk the pot doing some kind of chop shop job on it to make something fit.if you are going to bend some ti stakes, its probably best if they are the same diameter as the pots original handle. bending ti probably means heating it up which could weaken it & changing its shape may make it less ideal for use as a stake.you also mention saving 2oz by not using the lid or handles (no lid may negate any weight savings by using more fuel). may i suggest at least a foil lid, this should lead to less fuel consumption (hopefully less weight) unless you are using a wood fire, in which case wont matter as much.just my opinion, but bascially, i would say... k.i.s.s (keep it stupid simple :^})...keep the handle on, maybe use ya sweat rag as a pot lifter, & get some foil for a lid.

I did a tutorial on installing Ti spoke bail handles on all my BPL Firelite SUL pots. I usually bookmark stuff like that but evidently didn't that time, and can't find it now. Pretty easy to do though. Less than three grams per handle and work like a charm.FireLite Titanium post with Ti Spoke bailsBrasslite 550 w/ Ti spoke bail handle.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEvH-iPP_OsI got the MYOG ultralights lid.So are aligned even upside down.、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、入手できる最も軽い金属は、0.1mm厚みのチタニウムフォイルです。端部を曲げ込むことで、逆さにしても外れないほどです(笑)
I use a bit of carbon felt as windscreen & potholder.
Remove one handle, toss it. Remove second handle, cut a groove in the hanle holster. Now you can jam the hanle in fix position and safely use it. There are different ti alloys tent stake I have do not annel with wood fire.
I like your lid Yukio. It looks like you just pressed the foil around the rim of the pot, or did you make it some other way?I tried to make a lid from aluminium sheet but it warped when I formed the rim.
Denis, I have a couple of questions for you. Did you drill into the side of the pot to install the handle? Also, your bail handles are a bit smaller than most I have seen. Have you had any problems with them getting too hot? Are you able to pour okay? I mostly FBC, so pouring carefully is important. Do you ever miss having handles? Thanks
You can use your hands with Ti pots, just grab above the water line. No gloves, bandanas, or other special tools needed.
I read about adding cork pad to strategic areas of your pot on the forum. Sorry, I can't remember who to give credit to. I use a SnowPeak Ti bowl that gets filled up almost to the top for cooking & boiling water. I siliconed 4 small cork pads every 90 degrees around the bowl. The pads are slightly larger than fingertip size in diameter. They've held up to 2 3-day weekend trips so far. I don't remember exactly but the 4 small cork pads don't weigh but a couple grams.

Well if your living in a hot area I'm sure you probably have a bandana. That's all I've ever used to pick up my pots/mugs. Ya just wrap it around the pot and presto you've got a pot holder/handle. I always wear a bandana summer-winter.I'm sure some don't but anyways there's a cheap easy fix...
and if you dont have bit of cloth, make some tongs at camp while waiting for billy to boil. a knife and forked branch will do. here's a link to a video demonstrating the how.....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHvUyedX3o0&list=PL06957622B26F190B&index=9pretty easy

In a world that is completely dominated by technology smart phones or android phones are certainly one of the most impressive inventions of recent years. Almost every phone manufacturer has now entered into this market and one of the newest is the HTC Surround. The look and the feel of this new smart phone are truly stunning and it has an extremely smooth finish that makes the phone feel extremely pleasant when held in the hand. Having a sleek and stylish design is paramount to a phones success in the current competitive climate.
If you purchase an unlocked HTC surround handset, you will immediately realize that it is rather heavy. The phone actually weighs around 6 ounces, which is considerably heavier than many of the other smart phones that are available on today's market, but it has many features that are the cause of the extra weight. The phone has some excellent Yamaha speakers that are skillfully hidden behind the screen. This unique android phone is also fitted with a handy kickstand that allows the user to prop the phone up while watching movies on the smart phone. When you are enjoying using the movie watching feature of the phone it is important to engage the SRS WOW HD and Dolby feature. Doing this will vastly improve both the picture and the sound quality. The sound quality that the speakers produce is far superior to any other phones on the current market.
The screen is an impressive 3.8 inches and has an excellent resolution of 480x800p. This is as good as you can attain on any of the other touch screen phones today. The touch screen technology that is obviously paramount with any smart phone works well and the speed between different screens and applications is as quick as any of its competitors.
All modern phones today must be equipped with a high level of multimedia features and the HTC surround unlocked phone is no different. The HTC surround unlocked has a very good 5 megapixel camera that is also capable of filming High definition video footage. Both of these features are relatively easy to master. The surround also has the obligatory internet access that allows you to link straight into FaceBook or Twitter to constantly keep your status updated. The phone also allows you to add pictures to your profile with ease. Overall, this smart phone is an excellent product and should be able to rival some of the bigger players within the market place.

Eric Rolph Balances Flash with the Sun
Photographer Eric Rolph knows what it takes to get a great beach shot. He's based in Maui, after all.
There's few things more beautiful than a sunset on the beach in Hawaii, but photographing in such an environment can be tricky. Lighting conditions are volatile, using flash with daylight is a delicate operation, and to confound it all, salt and sand can be very unforgiving to your gear.
Eric needs to pack minimally, despite the challenging conditions, and depends on PocketWizard Plus II radio triggers to help him do that. No dragging around cables in the sand or blowing in the breeze.
To see Eric's tips and tricks, including a lighting diagram, read the full article on Pop Photo and to see more of his work, visit rolphphoto.com.

Uh oh, here we go with the R word. Warren David, president of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, or ADC, thought the below Superbowl Coca-Cola ad racist:
Coca-Cola released an online teaser of the commercial last week, showing the Arab walking through a desert. He soon sees cowboys, Las Vegas showgirls and a motley crew fashioned after the marauders of the apocalyptic "Mad Max" film race by him to reach a gigantic bottle of Coke.
In its ad, Coke asks viewers to vote online on which characters should win the race. The online site does not allow a vote for the Arab character.
"The Coke commercial for the Super Ball is racist, portraying Arabs as backward and foolish Camel Jockeys, and they have no chance to win in the world," Imam Ali Siddiqui, president of the Muslim Institute for Interfaith Studies, said in an email.
"What message is Coke sending with this?" asked Abed Ayoub, ADC's director of legal and policy affairs. "By not including the Arab in the race, it is clear that the Arab is held to a different standard when compared to the other characters in the commercial," he said.
CBS declined comment. Coca-Cola spokeswoman Lauren Thompson said Coke took a "cinematic" approach with the ad, employing the characters as a nod to movies of the past.
"Coca-Cola is an inclusive brand enjoyed by all demographics," she said in an email. "We illustrate our core values, from fun and refreshment to happiness, inspiration and optimism across all of our marketing communications."
Wanna know what's really prejudicial? Being a horse or camel jockey! I'm too tall! Racists.

Clinical Depression is a common, real and treatable illness.
Basic Facts About Clinical Depression:
- Clinical depression is one of the most common mental illnesses, affecting more than 19 million Americans each year.[1] This includes major depressive disorder, manic depression and dysthymia, a milder, longer-lasting form of depression.
- Depression causes people to lose pleasure from daily life, can complicate other medical conditions, and can even be serious enough to lead to suicide.
- Depression can occur to anyone, at any age, and to people of any race or ethnic group. Depression is never a "normal" part of life, no matter what your age, gender or health situation.
- Unfortunately, although about 70% of individuals with depression have a full remission of the disorder with effective treatment, fewer than half of those suffering from this illness seek treatment.[2] Too many people resist treatment because they believe depression isn't serious, that they can treat it themselves or that it is a personal weakness rather than a serious medical illness.
Treatments for Clinical Depression:
Clinical depression is very treatable, with more than 80% of those who seek treatment showing improvement.[3] The most commonly used treatments are antidepressant medication, psychotherapy or a combination of the two. The choice of treatment depends on the pattern, severity, persistence of depressive symptoms and the history of the illness. As with many illnesses, early treatment is more effective and helps prevent the likelihood of serious recurrences. Depression must be treated by a physician or qualified mental health professional.
Symptoms of Clinical Depression:
- Persistent sad, anxious or "empty" mood
- Sleeping too much or too little, middle of the night or early morning waking
- Reduced appetite and weight loss, or increased appetite and weight gain
- Loss of pleasure and interest in activities once enjoyed, including sex
- Restlessness, irritability
- Persistent physical symptoms that do not respond to treatment (such as chronic pain or digestive disorders)
- Difficulty concentrating, remembering or making decisions
- Fatigue or loss of energy
- Feeling guilty, hopeless or worthless
- Thoughts of suicide or death
If you have five or more of these symptoms for two weeks or more, you could have clinical depression and should see your doctor or a qualified mental health professional for help.
Causes of Clinical Depression:
Many things can contribute to clinical depression. For some people, a number of factors seem to be involved, while for others a single factor can cause the illness. Oftentimes, people become depressed for no apparent reason.
- Biological - People with depression typically have too little or too much of certain brain chemicals, called "neurotransmitters." Changes in these brain chemicals may cause or contribute to clinical depression.
- Cognitive - People with negative thinking patterns and low self-esteem are more likely to develop clinical depression.
- Gender - Women experience clinical depression at a rate that is nearly twice that of men.[3] While the reasons for this are still unclear, they may include the hormonal changes women go through during menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth and menopause. Other reasons may include the stress caused by the multiple responsibilities that women have.
- Co-occurrence - Clinical depression is more likely to occur along with certain illnesses, such as heart disease, cancer, Parkinson's disease, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease and hormonal disorders.
- Medications - Side effects of some medications can bring about depression.
- Genetic - A family history of clinical depression increases the risk for developing the illness.
- Situational - Difficult life events, including divorce, financial problems or the death of a loved one can contribute to clinical depression.

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. - Behind a balanced scoring attack that saw five players reach double figures, led by senior Janine Aldridge's game-high 19 points, and a defensive effort that held Georgia State without a field-goal for the remaining 3:49 of regulation, the William and Mary women's basketball team darted past Georgia State, 79-73, on Tuesday night at Kaplan Arena. The victory improves the Tribe's record to 7-20 overall and 5-11 in Colonial Athletic Association play, while the Panthers fall to 13-14 on the season and 5-11 in league action.
Aldridge, who has now appeared in a school-record 125 games, finished the night with five assists and six steals. The Massapequa, N.Y., native is now just four steals shy of setting a new Tribe standard currently held by former W&M standout '03 Jen Sobota (257). Additionally, with her three 3-pointers in tonight's contest, she became just the fifth player in CAA history to net 300 career triples.
Sophomore Kyla Kerstetter poured in a career-high 17 points on 5-of-9 shooting from the floor and a perfect 6-of-6 effort from the foul line. Senior Emily Correal and sophomore Jazmen Boone each netted 11 points, while senior Jaclyn McKenna finished the contest with 10 points and six rebounds. Steady sophomore Anna Kestler dished out a six assists, while senior Taylor Hilton added seven points and four rebounds.
The Tribe finished the night shooting 47.5 percent (28-of-59) from the floor, which included four 3-pointers on 16 attempts. From the charity stripe, W&M was 81.3 percent (13-of-16). The Green and Gold finished the contest with 28 points in the paint, 24 points off of turnovers and 37 bench points.
In a contest that saw 12 ties and 10 lead changes, Hilton's jumper at the 14:37 mark of the opening half gave W&M an early 8-6 edge. For the majority of the first half, both squads traded buckets as Correal's layup with 8:05 remaining tied the affair for the seventh time.
Georgia State took a 22-20 lead when Ashley Watson netted a jumper at the 7:10 juncture. However, the GSU advantage was short lived as the Green and Gold took control of the half with a 10-0 run. The outburst was ignited by McKenna's 3-pointer at the 6:48 mark, while Aldridge's fast-break layup capped the spurt at the 5:33 juncture as W&M owned an eight-point cushion, 30-22. The run was fueled by a Kerstetter layup and an Aldridge trifecta. The opening 20 minutes of action ended with the Tribe owning a 38-30 lead.
On its opening possession of the second half, W&M's margin reached 10, 40-30, when Aldridge netted a jumper inside the paint off an assist from McKenna. GSU responded with a run of its own as two Kendra Long foul shots tied the contest, 45-45, with 14:54 remaining.
For the next eight minutes and twenty-two seconds, it was a back-and-forth tilt, as the advantage changed hands on six occasions. Two Correal foul shots with 6:32 left in regulation gave W&M a one-point edge, 68-67, and on its next possession a pair of foul shots from sophomore Jazmen Boone extended the lead to 70-67.
Kayla Nolan's layup got GSU to within 72-71 with 3:49 remaining, but that's the last field goal the Panthers registered as the Tribe locked down defensively. With the lead at one, 74-73, after a pair of GSU foul shots, Hilton put the game on ice as she drained a 3-pointer with 44 seconds left to play.
Cody Paulk led Georgia State with 13 points, 10 rebounds and six blocks, while Kendra Long and Ashley Watson chipped in with 11 points each. GSU finished the contest shooting 30-of-63 (47.6 percent) from the floor, which included an 8-of-19 effort from 3-point range. With her six blocks, Paulk became only the seventh player in CAA history to net 200 career blocks.
The Tribe returns to action at Towson on Saturday, March 2. Tip-off at the Towson Center in Towson, Md., is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. and fans can follow the action online at TribeAthletics.com.

Solar energy is a great source of power for so many daily utility appliances. Whether you live in a far off place, or you wish to choose the alternative source of energy, solar power is a very reliable source of energy. Solar panels along with a battery are required for generating and storing the solar energy for supplying power to solar bulbs, water heaters, fans and other appliances made especially for working on solar power. With time and advancement in technology the performance of the solar panels has improved a lot and today, there are different types of solar panels available in the market. Broadly we classify them into Polycrystalline, Monocrystalline, Hybrid, Black Frames and Black Backed Panels.
In the monocrystalline panel, the solar cells are cut from the purely drawn crystalline silicon bars. The cells are laid in one direction in a way that they get maximum sunlight. Their color is so uniform and dark black and that they absorb too much of sunlight. Polycrystalline panels are made of silicon offcuts that are molded into blocks. Every cell in this panel is made of numerous small pieces of pure crystal. The efficiency of this panel is not as high as compared to other ones because all the crystals are not aligned perfectly and at the joints of the crystals the energy is lost. You can identify these panels with their color that looks bluish because of reflection of light by the crystals. Size and cost of these panels are quite similar to monocrystalline panels. Polycrystalline panels work better in areas where sun doesn't shine brightly for a long time. These crystals that are not aligned uniformly can easily absorb light rays from different directions.
There is another type of solar panel known as hybrid panels. These panels have a layer of solar film behind the solar cells. Solar cells in this type of panel are monocrystalline. This amorphous layer gets more energy from the sunlight absorbed by the panel. These panels work wonderfully even in the areas where sunlight is not available in abundance. These can be good for the houses with smaller roof area but little expensive than other types of solar panels. Crystalline panels are better options especially in terms of the overall cost involved in generating the same amount of energy as by using hybrid panels.
Black Backed Panels with black frames can also be seen in the market. These look better than the traditional panels that are white in color however there is no additional benefit of having black frames. When Black frames absorb more light and make the solar cells hot whereas the performance of the solar cells is better when they remain cool. Before choosing a solar panel for your house, it is good to know about advantages, disadvantages and cost of all the variants.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Costco Wholesale Corp. and HCA Holdings Inc. are part of a group of companies giving shareholders special dividends before the year is out, but with a twist: taking on more debt to satisfy stockholders.
Companies that issue dividends, or are considering special dividends, are being pushed by shareholders to issue them before year-end because of rising concern that any deal in Washington to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff — of tax increases and spending cuts that looms at the end of the year — could include letting taxes on dividends rise.
Would short-term 'fiscal-cliff' deal do any good?
The White House rejected House Republicans' deficit proposal that calls for $800 billion in tax increases. But would a short-term deal do the business world any good?
For some companies, issuing debt to pay dividends makes sense right now because interest rates are so low and bond investors are clamoring for more securities, especially from companies that don't issue regularly. If they can cheaply finance a boost in their stock prices, some companies will take that, even if the idea is detrimental to their own bondholders, because it adds to company debt obligations without boosting growth or their ability to pay back the debt.
Debt sales to finance dividends haven't been very common since the credit crisis began in 2008, because both stockholders and bondholders have less appetite for something seen as a little more precarious to a company's health.
But bondholders are now allowing companies to do it relatively cheaply because they're so desperate for yields on corporate debt that are often just slightly higher than what is available on Treasury bonds.

"From a credit perspective, it's a clear negative because you're not getting any cash flow. It's like debt-financing an acquisition when you know you're not going to get any profit from it," said Gregg Lemos-Stein, a credit analyst at Standard & Poor's.
Companies debt-financed more than $5.5 billion in dividends in the third quarter, though that includes a lot of non-public companies and U.S. companies mostly controlled by private equity, according to Moody's Investors Service. That followed more than $11 billion in dividend debt deals in the first half of the year.
Just in November, more than 228 companies have announced a special dividend, according to Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst at S&P Dow Jones Indices, but many will be paid with cash.
"They're supporting the equity holders but the funds are no longer there for the bondholders, plus you have a new debt payment," said Brian Rehling, chief fixed-income strategist at Wells Fargo Advisors.
From a stockholder's perspective, it's positive because they get the dividend money. It's also a good sign for financial markets and the individual company's health, said Owen Fitzpatrick, chief equities strategist at DWS Investments. Companies "can borrow at very attractive rates. They do the math and find that to pay a special dividend makes a lot of sense," he said. "It also speaks volumes about their cash flow availability to pay that debt off. It's a positive in both regards."
All about leverage
The key factor to look at when considering the wisdom of debt-financed dividends is leverage: the amount of debt used to finance assets, often compared to equity.
A December rally is no sure thing
The final month of the year is typically a jolly time for stock investors, but those positive historical trends come head-to-head this year with the fiscal cliff. Photo: Reuters.
The amount of leverage deemed acceptable varies by industry, but in general a higher debt load is a negative because it means more cash is needed to pay off the debt.

Expansion at the world's leading manufacturer of portable drinking water treatment products:
The Swiss company Katadyn Holding AG in Wallisellen is in full expansion and is acquiring a majority stake in AQUAFIDES Switzerland and Germany. With this move, Katadyn, the world's leading provider of products for portable drinking water purification, is expanding its sphere of operations into the industrial and municipal water treatment sector.
The company AQUAFIDES was established in 2007. AQUAFIDES's portfolio includes products for industrial and municipal water treatment on the basis of UV disinfection, ozone oxidation and filtration. In addition, the provision of spare parts and services for new and existing proprietary systems, as well as for the equipment of other manufacturers, constitutes the basis for business.
Up until 1999, Katadyn itself was active in the field of industrial and municipal water treatment using UV technologies. The new generation of systems devised by AQUAFIDES, as well as the development work that has been conducted, have convinced Katadyn to reenter this field. The global distribution network of Katadyn Products Inc. is now to be used to ensure improved access to the international markets.

Editor's note: The recipe and introductory text below are excerpted from Mai Pham's book Pleasures of the Vietnamese Table. Pham also shared some helpful cooking tips exclusively with Epicurious, which we've added at the bottom of the page.
To read more about Pham and Vietnamese cuisine, click here.
This beloved noodle soup is a complete meal in itself and is best served for breakfast or lunch on a weekend. Because the simmering takes at least two hours, I like to prepare the broth a day ahead of time and keep it in the refrigerator, where it will last for three days. Many cookbooks call for it to be made with oxtail bones, but I prefer marrow bones and beef chuck, which is what pho cooks in Vietnam use. A good pho broth needs to be clear, not muddy and dark, certainly fragrant of beef, anise and ginger.
You can serve this soup with several toppings, but the easiest ones to prepare at home are cooked and raw beef.
To use broth that has been made in advance, bring it to a boil, then add fresh ginger to refresh it. Come serving time, get friends or family to help cook the noodles and assemble the bowls. Make sure that the broth is boiling hot and the bowls preheated. Allow about 1 part noodles to 3 parts broth for each bowl.
YIELD: Makes 6 main-dish servings
- 5 pounds beef marrow or knuckle bones
- 2 pounds beef chuck, cut into 2 pieces
- 2 (3-inch) pieces ginger, cut in half lengthwise and lightly bruised with the flat side of a knife, lightly charred (see Note, below)
- 2 yellow onions, peeled and charred (see Note, below)
- 1/4 cup fish sauce
- 3 ounces rock sugar, or 3 tablespoons sugar
- 10 whole star anise, lightly toasted in a dry pan
- 6 whole cloves, lightly toasted in a dry pan
- 1 tablespoon sea salt
- 1 pound dried 1/16-inch-wide rice sticks, soaked, cooked and drained (see Tips, below)
- 1/3 pound beef sirloin, slightly frozen, then sliced paper-thin across the grain
- 1/2 yellow onion, sliced paper-thin
- 3 scallions, cut into thin rings
- 1/3 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 pound bean sprouts
- 10 sprigs Asian basil
- 1 dozen saw-leaf herb leaves (optional)
- 6 Thai bird chilies or 1 serrano chili, cut into thin rings
- 1 lime, cut into 6 thin wedges
- Freshly ground black pepper
1. In a large stockpot, bring 6 quarts water to a boil. Place the bones and beef chuck in a second pot and add water to cover. Bring to a boil and boil vigorously for 5 minutes. Using tongs, carefully transfer the bones and beef to the first pot of boiling water. Discard the water in which the meat cooked. (This cleans the bones and meat and reduces the impurities that can cloud the broth.) When the water returns to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer. Skim the surface often to remove any foam and fat. Add the charred ginger and onions, fish sauce and sugar. Simmer until the beef chuck is tender, about 40 minutes. Remove one piece and submerge in cool water for 10 minutes to prevent the meat from darkening and drying out. Drain, then cut into thin slices and set aside. Let the other piece of beef chuck continue to cook in the simmering broth.
2. When the broth has been simmering for about 1 1/2 hours total, wrap the star anise and cloves in a spice bag (or piece of cheesecloth) and add to the broth. Let infuse until the broth is fragrant, about 30 minutes. Remove and discard both the spice bag and onions. Add the salt and continue to simmer, skimming as necessary, until you're ready to assemble the dish. The broth needs to cook for at least 2 hours. (The broth will taste salty but will be balanced once the noodles and accompaniments are added.) Leave the remaining chuck and bones to simmer in the pot while you assemble the bowls.
3. To serve, place the cooked noodles in preheated bowls. (If the noodles are not hot, reheat them in a microwave or dip them briefly in boiling water to prevent them from cooling down the soup.) Place a few slices of the beef chuck and the raw sirloin on the noodles. Bring the broth to a rolling boil; ladle about 2 to 3 cups into each bowl. The broth will cook the raw beef instantly. Garnish with yellow onions, scallions and cilantro. Serve immediately, inviting guests to garnish the bowls with bean sprouts, herbs, chilies, lime juice and black pepper.
How to Char Ginger and Onions:
To char ginger, hold the piece with tongs directly over an open flame or place it directly on a medium-hot electric burner. While turning, char until the edges are slightly blackened and the ginger is fragrant, about 3 to 4 minutes. Char the onions in the same way. Peel and discard the blackened skins of the ginger and onions, then rinse and add to the broth.
Chef Mai Pham shares her tips with Epicurious: Rice sticks, or banh pho, are translucent, linguini-shaped dried noodles sold in Asian markets. For pho, buy the small, 1/16-inch-wide variety. To prepare them, first soak them in cold water for 30 minutes and drain. Then bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. When you're ready to serve (not before), place the noodles, one portion at a time, into a sieve and lower it into the boiling water. Using chopsticks or a long spoon, stir so the noodles untangle and cook evenly. Blanch just until they're soft but still chewy, about 10 to 20 seconds. Drain completely, then transfer to a preheated bowl. Cook the remaining noodles the same way. If you're cooking for several people, you may also cook the noodles all at once by adding them directly to the pot of boiling water. Just make sure to serve them immediately. The Vietnamese believe that "a meat dish should taste like a meat dish," says Pham. Cooking the meat with vegetables would distort its flavor, so all veggies (except for aromatics like ginger and onion) are added after cooking. Since Vietnamese food is so simply prepared, using the freshest, highest-quality ingredients is essential. Pham recommends seeking out organic, antibiotic-free meat and purchasing it on the same day you plan to use it to ensure freshness. Fish sauce (nuoc mam), a pungent, salty liquid made from fermented anchovies, adds depth and flavor to numerous Vietnamese dishes. For best results, choose bottles priced at $3 to $4 rather than $1, and pass on jars that are dark, which indicates oxidation or the presence of additives. "Look for fish sauce in glass jars. Avoid plastic," says Pham. "The fish sauce should have a nice, even color, like iced tea." She suggests Three Crabs, Lobster Boy, and Phu Quoc brands. When cooking with fish sauce, always add it to other liquids: Never place it directly in a hot, dry pan, which would broadcast its pungent, fishy odor throughout your kitchen in a less-than-pleasant way. Soy sauce is an acceptable vegetarian substitute, though it does lack fish sauce's smoky complexity. When prepping ingredients for Vietnamese cooking, Pham recommends cutting everything into small, even sizes, which cook more quickly and evenly. A mandoline makes quick work of the paper-thin slices of onions that top this soup. Asian basil, also called Thai or holy basil, has a delicate anise flavor. Regular (sweet) basil does not make a good substitute, as it's too strong. "Use mint instead," says Pham. Saw-leaf herb has a floral, cilantro-like flavor and three- to four-inch long, dark-green leaves with serrated edges. Cilantro or Asian basil make good substitutes. Both herbs can be found in the produce section of Asian grocery stores or in farmers' markets. The Thai bird chile, a short, narrow, pointed, green or red variety, is not exclusively Thai it's also the Vietnamese hot pepper of choice. "In Vietnam, we just call them peppers," says Pham. Thai bird chiles can be found at Asian grocery stores and better supermarkets, or ordered from Asian foods supplier Uwajimaya at (800) 889-1928. If you can't find them, Pham suggests substituting fresh red serrano chiles, which are hotter and sweeter than their green counterparts.

Bill Ritter is Governor?? This blog must be 6 years old. Whatever happened to Hickenlooper??
Oh, so Coloradans decided that socialism doesn't sit well out west? I guess the Dems thought communism would catch on there as it has in the notheast and left coast.
The Rocky Mountain states are not the only states, all states are now recognizing that this President and the Democratic Party never had their interest in mind. They promoted emotion that had nothing to do with the realities that the people were faced. Although, those of us TPers, as referred to by the left(we are actually your mothers/fathers or grandparents who are tired of our representatives screwing us) would agree that the Wall Street Corporations are obtaining a disproportinate of tax brakes, we also need them. But who do not need is a government that is so large it controls all facets of our life, example is Obamacare, it is destroying our country and especially our childrens lives. We conservatives also have children and we are doing our best to protect their interest and wouldn't it also be of your interest, we do know that red is the color of all people's blood, contrary to the left wing Marxist. Listen, young people and other Democrats, take the time to study some history about those leaders(Lenin, Marx, Hitler, Tung) and you will see why us old geezers are concerned.
The Obama Care Package or law, which ever you prefer to call it is a SHAM being forced upon us by an arrogant and shameless President and his Merry Band of Political Henchmen, who could care less what the effect is on the American Public or the American Economy. The Democratic Party is trying its damnedest to push the politics of this country from freedom to a Socialistic Format. An example is Hillary Clinton when referring to her failed Health Plan "We just think people will be too focused on saving money and they won't get the care for their children and themselves that they need . . ."The money has to go to the federal government because the federal government will spend that money better." Or Nancy Pelosi 2010 comment about Obama Care " We have to pass the Law to find out what's in it" This is exactly how the Democrats think. They have no regard or respect of the American Citizen. We the American Citizens are the only ones who can put a stop to this process, but it will require you to get off you ass and Protest the government and fight for the return of our rights as promised us in the Constitution.
Notice how everytime the progressives get into polling numbers difficulty they all decide to focus on their family and "regroup". The family didn't seem so important when they decided to run for office.

Sheriff Arpaio to President Obama: 'we're not stopping'
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio speaks with 9 On Your Side
Reporter: Steve Nuñez
PHOENIX, Ariz. (KGUN9-TV) - Despite the federal government investigating him for civil rights violations, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio launched his 20th crime and immigration sweep pledging his deputies will continue to arrest illegal immigrants.
Arpaio, who remains vigilant and undeterred, wasted little time dispatching 200 deputies including 100 volunteer posse. Arpaio claims his deputies will mostly target traffic violators. During the two day operation, deputies also plan to raid several businesses Arpaio said ar up to no good.
"I'm an equal opportunity guy," said Arpaio. "I lock everybody up."
But Arpaio didn't shy away from who he's really going after.
"We've already arrested 13 people and we just started, 9 are here illegally in this country," said Arpaio.
Yet, the self-proclaimed, "America's toughest Sheriff," denied his deputies are racial profiling.
9 On Your Side Reporter Steve Nuñez asked: "Is Southwest Phoenix a predominant Hispanic area?"
"I don't know, you know why, I don't know because it doesn't make any difference," answered Arpaio. "This is predomionant crime area. We don't take a census."
However this time around, Arpaio did not allow 9 On Your Side to tag along by following deputies as they conduct their crime sweep.
Arpaio said, "We have a drug operation going on right now in the area and I can't talk too much about it."
So we went out on our own. We did not catch up to the action.
But we caught with Jose Javier. He claims he's a legal resident. Javier said Arpaio's deputies mostly target Hispanics.
Nuñez asked: "So why do you continue to live in Maricopa County if you don't like Sheriff Joe Arpaio?"
"Joe Arpaio no es (is not) chief," said Javier. "It's United States liberty."
Or, is it?
The feds accuse Arpaio of using tactics that violate civil liberties.
Arpaio claims his crime sweeps targets drivers who violate traffic laws.
"My answer to the President is, we're not stopping," said Arpaio.
That's because Arpaio said he has an agreement with the federal government that allows him to verify immigration status but only after a driver is stopped for speeding or having a broken tail light.
Nuñez asked: "What do you say to critics who say your crime sweeps have very little effect and therefore you should do more to focus on major criminals?"
"We lock up murderers and people who threaten to kill people in schools," said Arpaio. "And everyday we're out there locking up major criminals, it just doesn't get publicized."
In the previous 19 crime sweeps, Arpaio's deputies have arrested 1409 people of which 848 were illegal immigrants.
