Sorry, no bio currently available
Daniel is currently the manager of Avaring Capital Advisors, LLC, a registered investment advisor that oversees one hedge fund. His primary focus is on finding businesses that are trading at a significant discount to their intrinsic value by employing a combination of Benjamin Graham's investment philosophy and a contrarian approach to the market and the securities therein.
Business owner for over 30 years now working less and investing more. Our company has grown from $1M in sales to $25M in that time. I have recently sold my shares as part of an exit strategy. My philosophy for success in life and business is based on creativity. As Albert Einstein once said, "Insanity: doing the same thing every day and expecting a different result."
Purveyor of Darkness?
Peter Way Associates is the only known provider of the price range forecasts of widely-held, actively traded stocks derived from the hedging activities of market-making [MM] firms as they balance big-$-fund sellers and buyers in large block trades. The price ranges offer explicit downside exposure forecasts not commonly found in publicly published investment analyses.
This is all forward-looking data, based on what the MMs will pay for protection against coming unwanted price change while temporarily committed firm capital is exposed to market risks. It is available by modest subscription cost at blockdesk.com.
The behavioral analysis involved has been performed daily since Y2K, now on over 3,000 stocks, ETFs, and market indexes. That has built an actuarial history of how market prices have subsequently behaved following several million price range forecasts, issue by issue.
That data provides a qualitative backdrop to current forecasts in terms of odds of profitable positions, size of prospective gains, credibility of forecasts, and worst-case price drawdown exposure experiences.
Peter F. Way is a veteran Chartered Financial Analyst, having taken and passed the CFA Institute's required 3 examinations in the first years they were given, 40+ years ago.
Armed with BS in Economics from the Wharton School and an MBA degree from Harvard Business School, he has managed staffs of dozens of Investment Researchers and Quantitative Analysts for the nation's largest bank, arbitraged index options for NYSE Specialists, and managed portfolios of hundred-million-dollar equity investments for Fortune 100 corporate pension funds and non-profit endowments.
He has been elected President of professional Investment Analyst Societies in San Diego and New York City and has served on the editorial boards of the Financial Analysts Journal and the CFA Digest. He has spoken at numerous schools and professional meetings.

I write about dividend growth stocks on my website www.dividendgrowthinvestor.com.
I am mostly a buyer of high quality dividend stocks, with solid competitive advantages. My holding period is forever, as long as the dividend is at least maintained. I tend to concentrate my efforts on stocks which grow earnings and dividends, which provides outstanding total returns over time. I only focus my attention to stocks with sustainable dividend payments. I am also a firm believer in diversification accross sectors and geographic locations.
I have been focusing my attention particularly to companies that regularly increase dividends to their shareholders on my website. On my blog I share my thoughts on investing in dividend paying stocks that have consistently increased their payments over time and tips on growing my dividend income. I hope that my blog will serve as an inspiration for my readers and that it would change their financial lives for the better.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: ... Income Replacement!
Escape velocity is the speed that an object needs to be traveling to break free of the planet's gravitational pull and leave it without further propulsion.
This portfolio is looking for the point where the income being generated can allow the holder of this portfolio to escape the gravitational pull of the market and economic forces of worrying about share prices.
The objective is to generate enough income from assets that the only selling of shares will become an option, not a necessity to survive. Therefore, with enough income being generated, it minimizes the fear of meaningful market corrections as dividends are based on the number of shares owned, not the share price.
I am a medical professional, but I have been studying investing for many years so that I can control my own portfolio. DGI seems to be the best way for me to invest for my retirement while being able to sleep at night.
I have also been successfully trading cash secured puts for extra income. I share my experience on my websites, Tradingcsps.com and my blog Tradingputs.com.

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. — Bunge Ltd. said it has reached an agreement to sell its 50% ownership stake in its Moroccan fertilizer joint venture, Bunge Maroc Phosphore S.A., to OCP Group. The announcement comes less than a month after Bunge completed the sale of its Brazilian fertilizer operations, including blending facilities, brands and warehouses, to Yara International ASA for $750 million.
Bunge Maroc Phosphore was formed in 2008 to produce fertilizers in Morocco and serve as an additional source of phosphate-based raw materials and intermediate products for Bunge's fertilizer businesses in South America.
"Bunge Maroc Phosphore has played an important role in meeting our fertilizer supply needs in South America," said Soren Schroder, chief executive officer of Bunge. "However, with the sale of our fertilizer business in Brazil, the opportunity for OCP to acquire our interest in the joint venture at this time makes strategic sense for both parties."
The transaction is expected to close by the end of 2013.

Zalman VF3000F Dual Turbine VGA Cooler Review
Accessories and Documentation
The hardware we saw earlier in the top of the box is all laid out in front of you. In the bag you get everything you need to install this onto a GTX 470 or GTX 465. There are screws with springs to mount the cooling plate, nuts and springs to mount the cooler, a set of risers and three types of washers. On the far left is the Fan Mate cable to connect to the Fan Mate 2 on the right and to the fan lead. On top of that, you also get a nice sized syringe of ZM-STG2 thermal grease.
As you can see, this cooling plate that covers the phase and memory chips is cut specifically for certain cards. There is an ample amount of fins to allow the fans airflow, once through the cooler a good chance at tunneling through these fins to cool the PCB components. Around the large center square, there are holes that pass through the cooling plate to allow the cooler to be mounted.
Even the side that is going to be making the contact is specialized. There are holes drilled to allow for specific capacitors, chokes and the power plugs. I don't have a true "straight edge" this large, so I opened my calipers and ran it against the edge of that straight edge. This plate is very flat for its length, I honestly expected it to be a bit cupped, but it really is flat.
The instruction guide is very thorough and highly detailed. You first get a full parts list to verify you have what you need before you start. Through the build guide, not only are there great illustrations, the parts are called out by name as to lessen any confusion as to which of the three washers go where, or where the rubber o-rings go. The instructions are written to work with the GTX 480 as well as the GTX 470 and GTX 465. Don't let that confuse you, there is a separate cooler for the 480 - this version will not fit it!

Comments about Theocritus
The Triumph of Daphnis
Daphnis, the gentle herdsman, met once, as legend tells,
Menalcas making with his flock the circle of the fells.
Both chins were gilt with coming beards: both lads could sing and play:
Menalcas glanced at Daphnis, and thus was heard to say:-
'Art thou for singing, Daphnis, lord of the lowing kine?
I say my songs are better, by what thou wilt, than thine.'
Then in his turn spake Daphnis, and thus he made reply:
'O shepherd of the fleecy flock, thou pipest clear and high;
But come what will, Menalcas, thou ne'er wilt sing as I.'

This was a nice event. Learned alot about buying wines at my local store. Unfortunately you cannot buy anthing there from those wine makers. Little snacks too. I thought we were meeting up at 1:15. But the organizer did not show up until after 2pm. I had already been to all the wine tables when i saw the group of 3. When I was ready to leave, I just left.

Ultrasonic speech translator and communications system
Image Number 5 for
United States Patent #5539705
A wireless communication system undetectable by radio frequency methods for converting audio signals, including human voice, to electronic signals in the ultrasonic frequency range, transmitting the ultrasonic signal by way of acoustical pressure waves across a carrier medium, including gases, liquids, or solids, and reconverting the ultrasonic acoustical pressure waves back to the original audio signal. The ultrasonic speech translator and communication system (20) includes an ultrasonic transmitting device (100) and an ultrasonic receiving device (200). The ultrasonic transmitting device (100) accepts as input (115) an audio signal such as human voice input from a microphone (114) or tape deck. The ultrasonic transmitting device (100) frequency modulates an ultrasonic carrier signal with the audio signal producing a frequency modulated ultrasonic carrier signal, which is transmitted via acoustical pressure waves across a carrier medium such as gases, liquids or solids. The ultrasonic receiving device (200) converts the frequency modulated ultrasonic acoustical pressure waves to a frequency modulated electronic signal, demodulates the audio signal from the ultrasonic carrier signal, and conditions the demodulated audio signal to reproduce the original audio signal at its output (250).

MSI GEFORCE GTX 650 Ti 1GB Power Edition Video Card Review
Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X.2
Version and / or Patch Used: Benchmark Demo
Timedemo or Level Used: Built-in Test
Developer Homepage: http://www.ubi.com/UK/default.aspx
Product Homepage: http://www.hawxgame.com/
Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. 2 is an arcade-style flight action game developed by Ubisoft Romania and published by Ubisoft. The game is the sequel to Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X., released in 2009.
The game begins with Colonel David Crenshaw participating in a routine patrol mission in the Middle East. After halting an insurgent attack, a volley of missiles is fired at the Air Force base that Crenshaw was stationed at, with one of the missiles disabling Crenshaw's aircraft, resulting Crenshaw being in enemy captivity. A joint strike force composed of the U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force, and a Ghost Recon squad executes an operation to rescue Crenshaw. In Scotland, Royal Navy Pilot Colin Munro encounters an unidentified passenger aircraft that explodes from an on-board bomb when undergoing training exercise. In Russia, an air force squadron led by Colonel Denisov and Captain Dmitri Sokov engages separatist aircraft but is ordered to retreat from the region after numerous Russian military installations have been attacked.
Starting our game testing with H.A.W.X. 2 we've got some strong performance here and you can see we're ahead of the HD 7700 series cards again with no problem at all.

Posted to: Fujifilm FinePix Talk
hello there, I am the proud owner of a Fuji F100fd. Irecently upgraded it with an Olympus Omd em5, this mainly because i need to make lots of photos in low light conditions (ex gigs...) in which my compact fuji was not enough. By contrast...and yes u can call me a foul..I like much better my daylight photos with my F100fd than with my over hyped Olympus. I was (am) also used to take photos with the Chrome colour setting in my f100fd. That was a lighly more saturated level than standard. A...

Posted to: Fujifilm FinePix Talk
Aloha, I've been wanting a replacement for my aging F100fd for way too long. I'd like another similarly sized p&s camera, and having always loved Fuji color, I'd prefer sticking with the brand. I'm primarily a jpeg shooter in this context, so "relatively poor" raw performance isn't much of an issue. So, briefly (please), which of the following three models offers an appreciable edge, if any? F900EXR, F850EXR, F800EXR (Knowing Fuji, earlier models are sometimes superior to their "upgrades" -...

The Hog tests the power heated wetsuit
The tester was 2005 WCT number 7 Nathan Hedge, The Hog, who said "It's one out of the box, it feels sooo good! You keep really warm, even on the low setting and it just keeps you feeling warm all over throughout".
If you ever thought there was a better way of keeping warm rather than taking a few gulps of whiskey before going under, the H-Bomb from Rip Curl could be the answer to your diving experiences.
Claimed to be the first power heated wetsuit, the H-Bomb has two temperature settings Low: 50 – 55C (120 – 130F) and High: 60 – 65C (140 – 150F). The heat is positioned on your upper back that will heat your core and pass warm blood around your body.
It works by generating heat from two coated fibre elements positioned on your upper back. The elements conduct electricity that generate the heat which warms the blood. We're advised there's no metal or electromagnetic field in the device. To spread the heat evenly a thin layer of neoprene lies between the elements.
Two Polymer Lithium Ion 7.2v batteries power it; Rip Curl has assure us there is no danger of exposure to these batteries by radiation, electric shock or explosion. The batteries are positioned on your lower back where they are cushioned against your body by a layer of neoprene sponge.
We are yet to receive prices and availability.

In their latest Hot Button debate, John Clayton and Ashley Fox argue about who will win the NFC.
Clayton takes the Green Bay Packers and Fox says it will be the Philadelphia Eagles. I'd say both are legitimate contenders, but what about the NFC South?
Atlanta's coming off a 13-3 season and added Julio Jones and Ray Edwards. New Orleans won the Super Bowl in the 2009 season. Sure, the Saints slipped a bit last year when they lost to Seattle in the playoffs.
But their two biggest flaws were exposed in that game. They worked hard this offseason to correct those problems, drafting Mark Ingram and signing Darren Sproles to make sure they have depth at running back, and they added defensive tackles Shaun Rogers and Aubrayo Franklin to help solidify the run defense.
I think either the Saints or Falcons could overtake the Packers and Eagles. By the way, if you click the Hot Button link above, there's an attached poll where you can vote for who you think will win the NFC. The Saints and Falcons are on there, but they're not getting a lot of votes. Maybe you can change that.

The bottom line is sometimes weight loss has little to do with exercise and your calorie intake. For many people, the problem stems from hormonal imbalances. Hormonal issues related to thyroid and insulin are well known. Both can lead to weight gain. People who have underactive thyroids (hypothyroidism) have a low metabolic rate. Their metabolism continues to slow regardless of any caloric deficits created. Other less known hormonal problems related to weight gain include:

Nexenta (@Nexenta), the global leader in Software-Defined Storage (SDS) (#softwaredefinedstorage) solutions, has announced it has been chosen by BlueBolt, an award-winning visual effects (VFX) firm, to manage its growing enterprise storage needs.
Founded in 2009, BlueBolt has quickly grown into one of London's most respected boutique VFX organisations. It has provided the visual effects for many award-winning productions including BBC's Great Expectations (BAFTA Winner), Mandela – Long Walk to Freedom, the Emmy award winning TV show Game of Thrones (Season One) along with being part of multiple vendors on a sections of shots on Pirates of the Caribbean, The Fast and The Furious, and the Oscar-winning 007 movie Skyfall.
An adaptive storage solution that can manage the growing workload of BlueBolt's creative and technical staff is imperative to keep up with the evolving demands in the industry. As with any business where data is mission critical to its operations, it is vital that BlueBolt can rely on its storage solution to deliver high-performance. It must also have the ability to grow with the demands of the company, whilst remaining cost effective.
Working with Escape Technologies, BlueBolt selected Nexenta's SDS solution to centralise and manage its storage infrastructure and replace the various storage platforms it had in place. Collaborating with its technology partner, Dell, to provide the hardware, and utilising the open-source ZFS-based operating system, BlueBolt implemented a two node HA Cluster with 144TB of raw NexentaStor capacity, which provides 68TB useable capacity. The entire solution is designed to manage its ever-growing data needs.
"The amount of critical data we are creating at BlueBolt is always growing. Data loss or system failure would be unacceptable. We needed to implement a secure, reliable, scalable storage solution and chose Nexenta because of its growing reputation in the visual effects community," said George Siddiqui, CTO, BlueBolt. "We now have peace of mind that our storage can cope with our workloads. Nexenta has all of the features we would expect from an enterprise storage platform while remaining one of the most cost-effective solutions on the market."
Jacco Van Achterberg, EMEA Sales Director at Nexenta, said: "Our SDS offering is perfectly suited to the media space, where large files need to be easily accessible at the touch of a button. We pride ourselves on stepping away from the Massively Expensive Storage Systems (MESS) provided by larger vendors and work in partnership with our customers to make sure the solution they implement is the best fit for them. We are delighted that BlueBolt has chosen to implement a future-proof SDS solution to support it as it grows."

DEFINITION of 'Oral Will'
An oral will is one that is communicated orally to witnesses, usually on the person's deathbed. An oral will is usually made in haste, which opens up the possibility for errors.
Oral wills are very controversial, because disappointed relatives can contend that the decedent was not of sound mind and body or that someone exerted undue influence on the decedent when the will was made.
BREAKING DOWN 'Oral Will'
There is a small number of states that recognize oral wills under certain rules. One such state is Ohio, which stipulates in its law that an oral will is valid only if the two witnesses write down the will within 10 days of it being given and if the will is submitted for probate within six months of the decedent's death. Some states have dollar-amount limits on property that can be passed on by an oral will.

this was the link to my original post on this: ">http://www.theiet.org/...s/f.....id=%2051056
I am sorry if i break the rules by reposting as a new topic, but I wonder if this seemingly confused issue has 'progressed' any further than the topic content kindly linked for me to digest which was dated in 2010.
There is a post in that topic that quotes GN2 (it is at the bottom).
Is it accepted by this forum's experienced industry practitioners, that there appears to be a conflict in a Reg 537.1.4 that suggests a 'single main switch is required' and the above GN2 and more over, the difference of opinions on this subject ?
It all came to my mind when looking at an installation as you do, added to over time, that had 4 CUs from a splitter (henley). That's why I asked in a poor way i'm sure, in my last post about Main Switch, Max Demand and all other in the section of 'particulars of installation referred to.." on the EIC; specifically, if a new CU is added (as has been over time) split off using tails from a splitter block, does the term 'installation' and the sections on the EIC 'particulars' (max demand, main switch etc) only get filled in in relation to the new board added ?
To me, all 4 CU's are part of the one installation and not ones in their own right, which means the 'particulars' has to be considered regarding the whole installation and not just the new board added.
However, GN2 quote, lack of one main installation switch being an issue, etc may suggest that it need not be considered like that and that each board could be an 'installation'.
Any views: is it just pedantic regulatory words, or is this just too much a done to death topic not to raise again ?
Thank you.
PS: if there is no single point of isolation, does one leave the main switch bit blank if one takes the view of it all being part of one installation
IEE Guidance Note 2 - "Isolation & Switching", p.40
"It is permitted for a dwelling to have more than one electrical installation. Therefore one 'main switch' is not required to isolate all consumer units simultaneously provided the consumer units have an integral main switch.
"This situation frequently occurs when an additional consumer unit is added, e.g. to supply an electric shower. Regulation 522.214.171.124 requires each device used for isolation to be clearly identified by positional or durable marking to indicate the installation it isolates."

25 February 2013 12:03 PM
I think the problem dates back to old days and off-peak installations - where you'd typically have one wylex CU for the main circuits and another for the storage heaters, the tails for each being connected directly to the supplier's kit. All in the days before DIN rail modular isolators. The the principle of two intermingled installations within one building/dwelling was set.
The definition of an installation used to include a clause about the origin, by that's been overtaken by events (local generation - stand-by or parallel) and increasingly didn't succeed in exempting off-peak supplies as suppliers moved from two separate supplies to one supply and a pilot wire.
So, yes it's is muddled. I guess the answer to 'what is an installation' to some extent boils down to: what the designer says it is. There could be good reasons for having two completely separate systems (for high availability for instance), but if it gets to the point where a householder doesn't know which switch to throw to make things safe, there's a problem to my mind.
- Andy.
25 February 2013 06:14 PM
thanks for your views Andy.
i agree with you on the point you make on the safety aspect considerations.
what's your view on the max, demand, main switch etc regarding the particulars on an EIC in this situation.
ie. if a new board was added (accepting no main switch for the whole), just consider the new 'installation' in relation to the EIC ?
25 February 2013 06:23 PM
Effectively yes, plus a note on the existing regarding the lack of a "main" main switch.
Let the wind blow you, across a big floor.

Please stop painting our postboxes, pleads Royal Mail as public takes tribute to Team GB medal winners into their own hands
- Royal Mail shows confused approach to the problem after allowing one 'illegally' painted box to stay gold
- Rob Smith was arrested after he painted the post box in tribute to sailor Ben Ainslie from Lymington, Hampshire
- Another box was painted bronze in Lincolnshire as a tribute to the British women's hockey team
Royal Mail has pleaded with the public to stop taking matters into their own hands by painting its postboxes in honour of Team GB's medal winners.
The company spoke out as its initial gesture to colour postboxes gold in recognition of our Olympic winners looked in danger of spiralling out of control.
However, it appears it has a confused approach to the problem as today it allowed one 'illegally' painted box to remain gold.
Scroll down for video
Arrested: Rob Smith, 51, poses next to the postbox he painted gold in the Hampshire town where Olympic sailor Ben Ainslie lives. He was held by police on suspicion of criminal damage but then released
Royal Mail has asked the public to stop painting its postboxes after a man was arrested for allegedly spray-painting one in the town where gold-medal sailor Ben Ainslie lives
A post box in Lymington, Hampshire, where gold-medal sailor Ben Ainslie lives, was painted gold without the company's authorisation.
Rob Smith, 54, was arrested but later released without charge and at the same time Royal Mail performed a U-turn and announced that the postbox would keep its new golden colour.
Another box, in Doddington, Lincolnshire, was painted bronze to congratulate the British women's hockey team, who beat New Zealand in a third-place play-off.
A Royal Mail spokeswoman told the Guardian: 'We understand the sentiment
and congratulate the women's hockey team on their achievement.
'However, we'd rather people left the painting of postboxes to us. We are liaising with our engineers to ensure that it is repainted red as soon as possible.'
Mr Smith decided to paint the Lymington postbox in an apparent protest that Royal Mail had instead chosen to paint one gold in Cornwall, where Ainslie was brought up.
Botched job: A man was apparently cautioned by police after making an attempt to paint this postbox in Belvedere, south London
Mr Smith, who owns a bar and restaurant at Lymington Yacht Haven, described the climbdown as a victory for common sense.
He said: 'I'm over the moon. It's all I ever wanted for Ben, for Lymington, and everyone who has supported the campaign.
'Thousands of people wanted the post box to be painted gold - I'm just the person who did it.
'I'm so glad now it's going to be done officially. I think the Royal Mail has been swayed by public opinion and has taken a very sensible decision.'
The four-time Olympic gold medallist has lived in the Hampshire coastal town for 12 years and is an honorary life member of the Royal Lymington Yacht Club.
Explaining it's U-turn, a Royal Mail spokesman said: 'There's been a huge amount of interest in this.
'We understand the depth of feeling involved as Ben is a local hero and sailing is very much part of the Lymington community. Ben loves the gold post box in Restronguet but would love to have one in
Lymington as well and we're happy to oblige.'
Taking matters into their own hands: Supporters of bronze medal-winning boxer Anthony Ogogo painted this Royal Mail postbox in his hometown of Lowestoft, Suffolk, in honour of his achievements
'Miserable': Peter Moran was dismayed to find the postbox he painted gold in honour of his neighbour Alistair Brownlee has been returned to its original red
A Facebook campaign backing a golden postbox in Lymington attracted more than 1,700 supporters.
Ainslie also described Mr Smith as a 'legend of Lymington' for painting the box gold.
It was latest in a long line of incidents over the last fortnight.
Fans of Olympic bronze medal boxer Anthony Ogogo struck in his hometown of Lowestoft in Suffolk.
A painter touches up a postbox that had been vandalised after being painted gold by Royal Mail in Jessica Ennis's home city of Sheffield to celebrate her Olympic triumph
Emblazoned with 'Congratulations Ogogo! Olympic bronze medalist', the fishing town's first-ever Olympic bronze medalist is thrilled.
A postbox that was painted gold in Jessica Ennis's home city to celebrate her Olympic triumph has also been vandalised.
And a pensioner who painted a postbox gold in honour of Olympic gold medalist Alistair Brownlee has branded Royal Mail 'miserable' after it quickly covered over his handiwork.
Peter Moran, 82, was inspired to pick up a paintbrush after watching his neighbours the Brownlee brothers secure the gold and bronze medals in the gruelling triathlon last Tuesday.

Detroit Schools Start Door-to-Door Campaign to Win Back Students
The competition for students has heated up in the past decade with Detroit parents enrolling in suburban districts that offer school choice programs while more charter schools offer more options.
As Detroit Public Schools pushes a new back-to-school marketing plan to try to reverse its enrollment and budget decline, the district must try to draw back kids from dozens of districts and nearly every charter school in the tri-county region.
A majority of children who live in the city do not attend DPS — the district enrolled only 42% of Detroit children in fall 2012 compared with 83% a decade earlier.
So where is everybody going?
One out of three children who attend school in Ferndale lives in Detroit. River Rouge also gets a third of its students from Detroit. Nearly half of the children in the Oak Park School District live in Detroit. Overall, about 73 school districts attract more than 18,000 Detroit students while charter schools enroll about 50,000 Detroiters.
The competition for students has heated up in the past decade with Detroit parents enrolling in suburban districts that offer school choice programs while more charter schools offer more options.
The DPS general "I'm In" advertising campaign is taking a backseat to a new strategy of marketing each individual school to neighbors and parents. Principals, teachers, parents and students are walking door-to-door citywide to talk up their schools. If DPS can't attract or retain 5,000 kids this fall to maintain enrollment at about 50,000 students, the schools will suffer teacher layoffs midyear.
