My first experience with Four Loko
Posted by Garrett Quinn, Less is More November 15, 2010 09:33 PM
As the Four Loko story continues to grow in Boston I decided to purchase and consume some tonight. I considered live blogging it but deep sixed that idea. Here's what I took away from the experience...
- The cans remind me of the old Arizona Iced Tea cans that were multicolored. They're too big to remind of your typical energy drinks Red Bull, etc. The "Four" is very imposing on the can and screams out at you.
- When you crack the can open the smell hits you immediately: A melted Jolly Rancher and cough syrup
- I poured some into a pint glass for observation and concluded that it has the appearance of watered down fruit punch.
- After the first few sips of the stuff it starts to hit you almost immediately but you get a more subdued feeling because of the caffeine. The taste does not make drinking a fun experience. It tastes pretty bad.
- I got a headache at one point while drinking it but man does it knock you off your socks pretty quick.
- Since I did not chug the drink it hit me in stages but it does pack quite a powerful kick. At one point my stomach felt horrible and at another as I noted I had an awful headache.
- I completely understand how throwing one of these back real fast can really mess you up.
- There is a sweet Gatorade like aftertaste. It doesn't taste like alcohol at all throughout the entire consumption.
- If you're not a responsible drinker you can get drunk really fast off just one can.
- I am not dead.

Bluegrass fever a county-wide epidemic
Bluegrass is a genre of American folk with roots in old-time music, country and even jazz. It was born in Appalachia where early 18th century immigrants from the British Isles mixed their vocal ballads with traditional mountain dance tunes. Bluegrass differs from country music in that the instruments (traditionally fiddle, banjo, mandolin, upright bass and guitar) take turns playing melody while the remaining instruments provide accompaniment. It is a music filled with improvisation, joy and a healthy dose of American showing off!
When I recently realized an opportunity to hear live bluegrass locally twice in the same week I knew bluegrass fever might be sweeping the county.
The first show was at Marsh Landing Restaurant in Fellsmere, where they have a Bluegrass Jam every Thursday night beginning at 6:00 P.M. The Bluegrass Jam is a fantastic night of live music that is family-friendly nestled in an atmosphere of Southern hospitality.
The musicians totaled six, sometimes seven, with upright bass, guitars, violin (in this case fiddle), mandolin and the fastest banjo this side of Kentucky. Anyone can join in and play or sing and the impromptu band played "The Hills of Caroline," "Tennessee, I Hear You Calling" and a crowd favorite "Five Pounds of 'Possum."
The weekly event even has a fan club called The Trouble Makers, complete with embroidered shirts and printed signs for cheering on the performers and scoring the tunes from one to ten. But I only saw them give out scores of ten and just like the bluegrass, it's all in good fun.
The second bluegrass show I attended was to hear the Blue Cypress Bluegrass band perform at Riverside Theater as part of the Summer Music series. Blue Cypress features Tim Lynch on guitar, Bill Hare on banjo, Allan Rudd on upright bass and Bo Frazer on fiddle and mandolin. They played "Dear Old Dixie" by Earl Scruggs (the bluegrass pioneer who popularized the three-finger banjo picking style) just as the Sun was setting behind Live Oaks dripping with Spanish Moss and once again I felt so grateful to live in such a beautiful place.
Other tunes of note were "Rockabye Sarah Jane" and "Cabin in Caroline." They ended with the old "Dueling Banjos," pitting a banjo against a guitar, which had the crowd clapping and stomping feet in true bluegrass style.
The quality and range of live music styles in our area is an unending resource for exciting entertainment. But for good old-fashioned fun, I don't think bluegrass can be beat.

It's hard to tell only far he could go after only two races. But so far he showed he has pace (11th best lap in Australia, and 14th best lap in Malaysia). If he keep up performing like that he'll definitely get an opportunity in a better team in the future. I think that Sauber, with a Ferrari engine could be good step forward for him next year.

On the 15th it was stated the construction projects that caused the interruptions were being wrapped up. Fluid flow will be increased on or before the 15th of Dec when permit is received. Fluid flow is expected to begin on expanded pad by end of November. All equipment (crusher etc.) will be installed or at least on site before EOY. Pretty sure most of this has already been paid for. All of these activities are/will increase production significantly. My point? Things are coming together and, going forward, the numbers should start to reflect that reality.
On anaother note... Pure speculation on my part but... Why bother to construct/complete an assay lab in December if you don't plan to use it? Maybe exploration drilling (finally!) will start here sooner than many believe? They have already drilled/defined more than enough to justify mone plan for 3-4 years... the next step os exploration.
"Equipment is beginning to arrive on site for our lab facility. This facility is also expected to be operational by year-end and will provide us with a fully functional analytical lab, allowing us to prepare on-site testing of ore samples within 24 hours."
It's going to get better IMO.

We're all glad you're here. Welcome to everybody in the audience. We have a full crowd this morning. We expected pretty good attendance. We also have lots of people joining us on our webcast today. I think we're going to be well in the hundreds. So I think a lot of interest in this meeting. We believe you'll learn a lot about ITW over the next 5 years, and we think what you're going to hear is going to be very, very positive news. And we're going to basically depict a company we believe you're going to want to invest in over the long term.
So before we get into the formal portion of the presentation, I did want to take a couple of minutes and talk about our former CEO, David Speer.
I want to personally thank everybody who was kind enough to send e-mails and make calls, and just send their personal condolences on David's behalf. For those of you in the room who don't know, David passed last month after a long illness, and I would say did it in very, very typical David Speer style.
The illness turned out to be very insurmountable for David and, if you knew David, you knew the word insurmountable was not in his vocabulary. He battled his illness in a way that was very, very typical of David. Let me just tell you a very quick story. We were in New York just a few months ago, and it was August, and David very, very much wanted to travel and do a meeting and meet with the buy side.
So we set up a lunch, had a very spirited lunch with one of our key buy side holders, I won't identify who that person is, let's just say that she held her own during the lunch. And it was very much of a typical David Speer kind of a meeting, point, counterpoint, back and forth, very much trying to impress upon the -- our buy side investor the potential that we had as it relates to these 5-year initiatives that we're going to detail for you later today. So it was very, very much of a David Speer kind of a session. David then traveled over to the New York Stock Exchange and presided over the 100-year anniversary ceremony. ITW's celebrating our 100-year anniversary this year. He had the gavel, he was in great spirits. I think everybody who traveled with him, Ron, David Parry, Scott and a few others, we just absolutely marveled at David's spirit that day. He was funny, he was engaged, he was doing his typical, "David Speer, I love ITW."
I do remember that on the floor, he was actually trying to sell ITW stock to our market makers. I told him that's probably not a good idea but he did it anyway. But I think it's another case of David, and based on his background as a stint salesperson -- that's where he started, he was a salesman -- he very, very much wanted to operate within the environment of, "I got to make the sale."
So that will be my last really, really good memory of David, as he was in New York, and enjoying every minute of the day, from beginning to end.
So what I would ask right now is if you could do a couple things for us. If we could just, one, observe a moment of silence on David's behalf, we'd very much appreciate that.
I'll ask one more thing, please, if everybody could give David a round of applause.
Now I know if David somehow finds out about this, he's going to send me the following e-mail, what's with the round of applause? And why was it so short? So anyway, thank you very much. I know David would love to be here, he's very, very proud of ITW. 34 years with the company, and I don't think there is anything, short of his family, that he loved more. And he even liked a lot of you in the audience, too, so...
So let's move on to the formal part of the presentation. I'll take you through the agenda today. Ron Kropp will be with us in just a few minutes. Ron's going to cover the 2012 financial update and some of our organic growth assumptions around 2013. So we'll give you basically a geographic breakdown of what's happening in 2013 from an organic perspective, and as we've traditionally done, we'll look at it from North America, we'll look at it from Europe and we'll look at it from Asia Pacific.
From there, we'll take a very, very short break to get organized for, I think, the real sort of meat of the presentation today, and that's really the unveiling of our enterprise strategy. Many of us have been on the road over the last 6-plus months talking about this, telling you there are certain things we could tell you and certain things we can't tell you. We're here to give you a lot more detail around what's going to happen relative to our enterprise strategies. We think this is really a qualitative improvement of a company that's already a very good performer, so really blending the core strengths of ITW and taking it to the next level. So we think you're going to like what you're going to see.
So in any event, Scott Santi, our CEO back there; David Parry, our Vice Chair; and Ron Kropp, will be the presenters. And just let me give you a little bit of background on all 3 of them.
As I said, Scott took over as acting CEO, and now has the title of Chief Executive Officer. Scott's been with the company for 34 years. Construction background, started in the construction business and he's probably too shy to tell you but he actually was selling screws on his first job in the construction category many, many years ago. There's a couple of other stories I won't tell but they're pretty humorous. What he probably also won't tell you, is Scott was very, very much a friend and David Speer was very much a mentor to Scott. So I think the transition here is very appropriate and very culturally in line with ITW in terms of how we run the company and this sort of extension of management experience and really understanding the fabric of the company.
David Parry, our Vice Chair. David's been with the company for 18 years, has run a whole succession of businesses for us, came to us from a prior company. David actually is a degreed, highly degreed person with a chemistry background. Now I promised not to do jokes about the periodic table, but David has responsibility for a variety of businesses, including welding -- yes, let's see, I have it right here. But any event, he's -- lots of different businesses and he's really touched all the businesses during his years, essentially since he was Vice Chair starting a few years back. So again, a long-tenured person with ITW.
Ron Kropp, our CFO, comes to us via Arthur Andersen. He was actually working on an ITW project many, many years ago. We stole him from Arthur Andersen a number of years ago and Ron's held a variety of financial positions within the company. Ron is our resident expert on everything financial, and if you have any detailed questions, Ron's your go-to guy.
So we think that the combination of these 3 people's perspective will be a good add to the story you're going to hear about Enterprise Strategy.
Now we do have our Chief Legal Counsel here so I actually am going to go through this in some detail, which I normally don't, but I point you to our forward-looking statement, which I think is even more relevant as we think about the next 5 years. And if you think about this meeting today, it's really the first time that ITW has done a 5-year look at life. So I think our forward-looking statements and all the caveats that are included therein are important.
So with that, I'm going to turn the meeting over to Ron Kropp and Ron will take you through 2012, 2013. Ron?
Ronald D. Kropp
Thank you, John. Good morning, everyone.
So I want to cover 2 things today. One, I'm going to talk about the fourth quarter of 2012 and provide an update on the forecast, which I'll get to in a minute. And then secondly, I'm going to talk about our revenue projections for 2013 by geography.
So 2012 forecast. At the end of the fourth -- at the end of the third quarter when we came out with our guidance, we had not yet closed on our Decorative Surfaces divestiture. So when we put out the guidance, we did exclude 2 months of results because we expected to close at the end of October, but we did not include anything for the large gain on divestiture and any of the ongoing equity accounting. So we've now closed on the transaction. The transaction is -- we sold 51% of the business to a private equity firm via a joint venture, CD&R is the partner. We retained a 49% interest. We received $1 billion in cash proceeds, which is a combination of the sale of our interest plus the debt that went into the new joint venture.
We now have an estimate on the gain so we're increasing our overall guidance as a result, and I'll go through the details of that in a minute.
So from a forecast perspective, I've laid out the October forecast and the current forecast. On the revenue line, revenues are basically in line with what we put out in October, negative 1% to negative 4%. I will point out, included in that revenue guidance is negative 4.5% related to 2 months of Decorative Surfaces not being included in the fourth quarter of this year versus a full quarter in 2011.
Also, a drag on the current quarter's revenue is negative 1% for translation, which is about where it was when we put out guidance 1.5 months ago.
On the EPS side, we're raising our fourth quarter EPS guidance from $0.86 to $0.94 to $1.99 to $2.09, and I'll go through a reconciliation of that in a minute.
Overall, the tax rate is bumping up a bit, 34% for the quarter and 31% for the full year. Overall restructuring guidance has not changed, it's still $100 million to $110 million for the full year.
So let's walk through the pieces of the forecast change. The biggest piece is the Decorative Surfaces gain and some other gains and losses on divestitures, but Decorative Surfaces is a big piece of this, that's $1.30 to $1.36 per share that get added to the fourth quarter and the full year.
On an ongoing basis, we'll pick up 49% equity interest, and I'll talk more about what it looks like going forward in a minute. But for the fourth quarter, because this is the first quarter after the divestiture, the joint venture has to record a lot of transaction expenses as well as initial purchase accounting amortization, so there'll be a $0.04 loss in the fourth quarter related to the 2 months of equity pickup.
There's also some one-off nonoperating corporate items, that's $0.04 a share, and some onetime tax discrete items, that's $0.11 a share, and the biggest piece being an IRS settlement we reached in the fourth quarter.
So if you take our new guidance of $1.99 to $2.09 and back off all those onetime items, you get back to $0.86 to $0.94, which is really the operating forecast we put out at the end of October. So the message here is there's really no change to the operating forecast.
So a little bit about Decorative Surfaces. Because we are retaining a 49% interest, we are not able to reflect Decorative Surfaces as discontinued operations, which means we won't restate prior years and we'll have some comparability things to talk about as we go through the next year.
On a pro forma basis, I've given you the numbers here. These are the revenue in margin numbers that will be in our results for 2011, which is a full 12 months, and 2012 which is 10 months.
One note on the margins, these margins are higher than the reported segment margins because reported segment margins include corporate -- allocations of corporate costs that don't necessarily go away when a business is divested.
So on an ongoing annualized basis, Decorative Surfaces is about $0.24 a share excluding share repurchases from the proceeds. If you factor in the fact that we use the U.S. after tax divestiture proceeds from Decorative Surfaces for share repurchases, the ongoing dilution from this -- from the deal is about $0.15 a share per year.
On an ongoing basis, we will pick up 49% of the operating -- of the net results of the joint venture. The net results is not just operating income, includes interest expense, acquisition accounting amortization, some preferred return from our partners. So if you add all that up, it won't be a whole lot of kind of run rate income that we will pick up on an ongoing basis for our 49%, it will be probably a few million dollars a quarter, after we get past this initial purchase accounting phase.
What we will realize at the end when ultimately, this business is -- either goes public or gets sold on to another party, we will realize 49% of the proceeds at that point.
This ongoing equity income pickup will be reported below operating income, so it won't impact ongoing margins.
So turning to capital allocation for 2012. This pie chart shows how we've allocated our capital this year. 25% of it has gone to dividends. And you may have seen an announcement last week, we announced that we are accelerating our January dividend, previously announced January dividend into December, to take advantage of any potential tax law changes. So that's included in the 25%. So that in total is about $900 million for the year in dividends. Acquisitions is about 21%, that's about $725 million for the year. And then the rest is share repurchases.
What I've done here is I've split share repurchases between share repurchases related to use of divestiture proceeds, that's 29% or about $1 billion this year, and share repurchases related to normal ongoing free operating cash flow, which is about 25%.
Our range for share repurchases for the year is $1.8 billion to $2 billion, so we still have a little bit of December to go through to finalize that.
So overall, if you look at this, almost 80% of our capital this year was somehow returned to shareholders, via -- either via dividends or share repurchases.

As Military Cuts Back, Burden Will Shift to Reserves
Star, Tribune-Review/Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
MINNEAPOLIS -- War weary after 11 years of combat, the U.S. military is retooling, rebalancing and retraining, drawing down its forces and facing extensive budget cuts for the first time in years.
As the active duty reduces its numbers, the country's reserve force will be asked to do more, and do it with less.
The Pentagon has been ordered to slash its budget by $487 billion over the next decade, cuts that will change the face of the modern American military.
In Minnesota, the 13,000-member Minnesota Guard will be most visibly affected by the changes.
The Guard's weekend warriors essentially will be put on permanent alert status -- a future that could include serving more frequently or for longer periods of time.
"You just never know what's going to happen in the future," said Minnesota National Guard Sgt. Maj. John Schwartz, whose team in south-central Minnesota was the state's top recruiter this year. "There are wars going on and we're here to fight them. …

I love sports, especially baseball. I played high school baseball but wasn't even close to good enough to play in college at the University of Georgia. As you may have guessed from my username, I'm a huge Astros fan, although my heart will always be with The Bad Jews Bears, my co-ed softball team. Also, I'll probably be the only guy you go on a date with who has a Minor League Baseball TV subscription.
When I'm not watching baseball, basketball, or football, I do the usual things: hang out with friends, go to the gym, and binge watch my DVR. On the weekends, I enjoy playing poker and pickup basketball. Other than that, I usually just take it easy. I'm a very relaxed and easy going person, unless my mom, who lives 3 miles away, is grilling me about my love life. So, if you could go on a date with me, I'd really appreciate it so I can give her something to tell her friends.

The American Red Cross office in New Ulm is closing it's doors this week. The Brown-West Nicollet-Redwood-Renville Chpater of the Red Cross is being consolidated into the South Central Minnesota Chapter. Executive Director of the South Central Minnesota Chapter Bob Meyer says that the consolidation will not effect local Red Cross services, however. He says they will still be in the community providing health and safety, first aid and CPR training, as well as isaster training and response, blood services and armed forces to emergency services. And he says there should be no change at all in the program delivery, it's just that the physical office won't be there anymore. Meyer says that the move is intended to streamline operations and make the best use of donor dollars. The change will go into effect this Wednesday.

It originally said "Wife", but someone who thinks overweight people should be mocked edited it. So funny.

Honestly, I expected that comment. I'm not gonna lie, I'm not even close to overweight. I just think that mocking bigger people for no reason is the same as mocking gay people for no reason. It just seems like an immature brand of humour.

I think much of it is about teaching people how to be independant in terms of being able to work on their own but then there's another lement that not everyone has the space to have their own darkroom and many don't realise film processing can be done almost anywhere.
Simon's point about giving support to community darkrooms is good but many have closed (in the UK) and the costs of setting up something new is high, on the other hand some of us could expand our darkrooms to give spare capacity that could be shared with others. In my own case I was planning to open a workshop facility (in Greece) but the downturn in the property market put paid to the plans. I'm building a new temporary darkroom but it could easily have an extra pair of enlargers - equipment's not an issue I have it in storage, when I buy somewhere new I will put in teaching facilities and good darkroom space with a view to darkroom rental.

well made,nice looking
I'm 5'11", I should have ordered the shorter ones. they will work spread way out,but I just don't like that highway yoga look.oh yea ,the pass.pegs do fit.I would recommend this item to a friend.
Kuryakyn Cruise Peg Mounts - Great Product
These peg mounts are great. The provide a very good looking way to mount a set of pegs on a Harley Tourer with lower fairings. The design of the mounts shines in at least two areas. They are solidly built and streamlined so that don't look flimsy or stuck-on. The serrated design of the clamp keeps the pegs where they belong and solidly mounts to the crash-bar. Peg placement can be optimized by virtue of the adjustable angle of the mounts. All-in-all a well designed, well built and good looking addition to your touring bike with lower fairings.I would recommend this item to a friend.

Moorpark council candidates outline differences
Six of the seven candidates vying for a seat on the Moorpark City Council answered questions about the city they hope to serve in a candidate forum Tuesday night.
It was the only time the slate of candidates is expected to participate in an event before the special election on May 19.
The candidates are hoping to fill the remaining time on a City Council seat left vacant by Janice Parvin last year. The term lasts about one year.
The candidates in attendance included: David Pollock, an education executive; David Bagwell, a business owner; Thomas Pflaumer, a mortgage broker; Jonathon Miller, a claims adjuster; Nathan Sweet, a firefighter/paramedic, and James K. Hoffman III, a construction project manager.
Jose Magdaleno, a Moorpark business owner, did not attend.
Bruce Stenslie, president of the Economic Development Collaborative of Ventura County, was the moderator.
He asked candidates what they consider the highest priority in the city, and how to address it.
Most said the city's finances and managing a tight budget are the top priority.
As a 14-year member of the Moorpark Unified School Board, Pollock said he brings budget-tightening expertise.
"I bring a voice of experience, I'm able to ask the tough questions," Pollock said.
Hoffman said he would like to go after more county and state funds to improve roads, retain more businesses, and get more people to eat and shop locally.
Pflaumer said the city's got to balance its budget like any family does in hard financial times.
Bagwell, married to Planning Commissioner Jodi Bagwell, said his experience with managing a large budget in his construction company will help him balance the city's finances.
Miller said he "is a guy who counts beans," and that his experience as a catastrophic claims adjuster will help him fix the city budget.
Sweet said protecting the city is his top priority. He plans to add another deputy patrol car for a 12-hour shift each day, without costing the city more money.
Questions about schools
The forum was sponsored by the Moorpark Chamber of Commerce and held at the High Street Arts Center. About 100 people attended, including Parvin, Councilman Keith Millhouse and police Chief Ron Nelson.
As the school district faces more budget cutbacks, Stenslie asked if the city should do more to financially help the schools.
Miller said no — there is a school board in place to handle the tightening budget.
"The city has its own tough decisions to make right now," Miller said.
Hoffman said if it was necessary, he would like the city as well as local businesses to help out with things such as school supplies.
"I do believe the city can help out, but in a limited way," Miller said.
Pollock said he didn't think the city should help the school district. "It should stand on its own two feet."
But there are certain things, like a school resource officer, crossing guards and recreational facilities, that the city could help fund, Pollock said.
Pflaumer said the city should work with the schools when possible.
"The children are our future, let's help them out," he said.
Bagwell said the state and school districts have "screwed things up" and the city should remain separate.
"I don't think the City Council can solve the state's problems," he said.
Open space discussed
Stenslie asked the candidates how important they considered balancing open space and new development. Commonwealth Studios, a large film studio proposed for the area, was mentioned as a project that would affect open space.
Bagwell said he thought all the areas in Moorpark are properly zoned in the city's General Plan. He said the Commonwealth Studios project is in an area zoned as industrial.
"I don't think our open space policies would interfere with that," Bagwell said.
Pollock said open space was one of the main reasons he decided to run.
"The City Council will always be feeling the pressures to expand development," he said.
Pflaumer said he would like to preserve the open space buffers that surround the city.
"We can maintain development in a responsible way," he said.
When asked to talk about one good and one bad decision the City Council has made, Bagwell said he approved of the council's decision to build a memorial for veterans, but disagrees with the decision to buy back the High Street Theater in 2005 — the venue they were sitting in.
"The city can't afford it if it's going to lose money," Bagwell said.
Pollock disagreed, saying buying the theater was one of the best decisions the City Council has made.
"The city got a great deal on this," he said, adding that the theater will grow along with a revitalized downtown.
Pollock said he didn't like the council's initial decision to have a $100,000 special election in June to fill Parvin's seat.
Recently, the council decided to change the date to May 19 — the same day as the special statewide election.
The cost of consolidating the city and state election would be close to that of the November municipal election — about $11,062.
The deadline to register to vote in the special election is May 4 but residents can apply to vote by mail through May 12.

Man accused of impersonating soldier sentenced to nearly 12 yearsStaff Writer | September 05,2013A convicted sex offender who impersonated a soldier from North Carolina while living in Vermont was sentenced to almost 12 years in jail today on four federal charges.
David Oswald III, 47, was sentenced in U.S. District Court in Rutland to 140 months in jail and was ordered to pay almost $53,000 in restitution to two health care providers in the state.
Judge Christina Reiss also imposed a lifetime of supervised release with special conditions for Oswald after he is released from jail.
Oswald, a former resident of Washington state, pleaded guilty earlier this year to federal charges of failing to register as a sex offender, health care fraud, being a felon in possession of a firearm and possession of child pornography.
He was arrested last year after an investigation by a Veterans Affairs special agent revealed Oswald's identity.MORE IN This Just InKABUL, Afghanistan Confusion reigned in the wake of the deadly bombing Saturday of a hospital...

Video: Vulture Funds' Absurd Assaults on the Global Poor
Do secondary debt markets, hedge funds, and offshore banking make you want to dance? Probably not.
Soon, they tell us, Congress will or will not pass a health-care bill. Detractors think universal health care will raise health-care costs, lower health-care outcomes, and dangerously increase the power of the federal government.
We have spoken with many Palestinians in the West Bank and in East Jerusalem so far in our pilgrimage, both Christian and Muslim. Their voices are seldom heard in our corporate media, so it has made sense to meet, listen to, and understand them.

Alfaro, Flavio Eloy
Flavio Eloy Alfaro (flä´vyō āloi´ älfä´rō), 1867–1912, president of Ecuador (1897–1901, 1907–11).

Exiled by the opposition, he returned to lead a revolt but was defeated, imprisoned, and murdered by an angry mob.
