Our house, meant for all seasons, is a waterfront vacation cottage on the shores of the tranquil Emerald Lake. You can take in the stunning lake-view from the dining area and living room through the glass sliding doors, which open to a deck with southern exposure. The deck is a wonderful place to have coffee or tea in the summer. Early in the morning, as well as during the twilight hours, you might catch the high-pitched laugh of a loon swimming through the morning mist.
In the summer, the lake is a clean and refreshing place to swim. From the deck, you can walk through the wild flowers to the water and jump right in! There is also a rowboat, kayaks, and a canoe, among other boats, that are available for a small fishing expedition or a leisurely paddle. Just a 10-15 minute walk down the road, there is also a small sandy beach that provides easy access to the water, as well as a floating dock to relax on.
In the fall, enjoy the spectacular foliage as you hike in the near by Fox State Forest. The forest and the cottage are ideal places to relax while recharging your body, mind, and soul underneath the changing fall leaves.
Winter offer activities such as ice fishing, skating on the lake, cross country skiing, or alpine skiing. Pat's Peak and Mt. Sunapee are nearby ski-mountains with trails for all levels of alpine skiers.
In the spring, join the anglers who come from all over New England to fish for trout, pickerel, and bass. To view the spring buds growing on the trees, you can also trek the trails of the near by Fox Forest State Park or tour the panoramic Monadnock Mountain view at Kimble Hill.
The nearby town of Hillsborough has a commercial district, where shopping for groceries is made easy. While you're there, enjoy ice cream from the classic ice cream shop, as well as fresh baked goods from Peter's German Bakery. Feel free to explore Hillsboro historic center and its scenic surrounding. Next door, the quaint town of Henniker, home to New England College, also boasts of some fine, local restaurants.
Hi Charlie-
We received your letter and check today for the deposit. Thanks so much. We had a wonderful time. We loved the cabin which was so clean and comfortable. The first night there was a short rain shower and we saw a double rainbow over the pines trees from the deck. We swam a lot and also enjoyed the rowboat and paddleboat.
We gave the children masks and snorkles, so they kept busy checking out all the fish including one they named Chester (probably about 10 different ones that look alike). My son caught his first fish which we released. Then, the children decided they would rather feed the fish than catch them. From the dock, they impaled japanese beetles on the latch which usually fastens the hook to the line. It was amazing to watch the fish come up and gulp down one after another. (The beetles were collected from the poor Cherry Tree which seemed to have a lot on it at mid day). We rowed across the pond a number of times and swam at the little beach to the left of the inlet (without the swing set/playground). We liked it because it was quiet, had a nice sandy bottom, and we often found frogs in the rushes. We wondered if a beaver was building a house or simply stockpiling sticks in the lily pads at the mouth of the inlet. Twice we found freshly cut tree branches over there that had been gnawed off by a beaver.
My husband and I also appreciated the wireless. I had to bring a bit of work up with me,and this made it much more convenient. We ventured out a bit to Hillsboro where we stopped for ice cream and Henniker where we found the St. George Cafe which had wonderful bagels. We explored a section of the river coming down from Hillsborough into Henniker past the sporting store where we picked up a package of night crawlers and found out that the children did not need fishing licenses. The river was neat. We waded around, looked at minnows and frogs, and saw a very large beaver lodge on the far side.
I loved your little kitchen which was so well stocked with various cooking pots and utensils. We mostly cooked and ate out on the porch. The children ate enormous amounts of food due to all their swimming.
In short, it was a great week. A very nice experience for our family. We mostly spend time on the ocean in ME where I grew up, so the chance to be on a pond and swim and explore the fresh water habitat was a treat. We would love to return and even see the pond in the fall or winter.
Sincerely, Jessie
Great location right on the water. We had a very relaxing week with perfect weather.
The last thing anyone wants when they walk into a home rental on vacation is a bad surprise. Good news here, you won't find any. Rentals in this area can be a little sketchy. Some owners don't really manage the rentals as a business, but sort of a hobby. Charlie is a pro and he has the home cleaned professionally between uses. This was our second rental from Charlie with a gap of ten years in between. Both times the home was clean and ready to go. The pictures are real. That is just how the place looks and how the lake looks.
I was surprised how well the WiFi worked. Better than my WiFi at home for sure. There is one TV for kids' TV if you need it (in case it rains).
The kitchen is fully stocked with the utensils you need. The bedrooms are as advertised and the basement has a complete assortment of boating things you will need to enjoy the lake. Both docks have their charms. I will never divulge my favorite spots, but if you like to fish, you can do well on Emerald in the spring and early summer.
My family has been coming to Emerald lake for five generations. We know the places to explore and how to enjoy the area, but we still find new things each year. There is much to do and see if you get out and look. Charlie's guide book has all the clues you need (hint - Sunapee and Kearsarge) to get started. Henniker has some great places to explore and in which to eat, and Hillsboro has the large town amenities you want (Supermarket and fast food).
Take careful note of what is offered and you won't be disappointed. This is a rental home, not a resort. Communicate with the owner and ask questions. Make sure it is a good fit for your needs and you will have a great time. We sure did.
My family and I spent a wonderful week in NH. The weather was mostly marvelous, sunny days. We fired up the wood stove when the sun went down. Watching the fog lift off the lake in the mornings, coffee in hand, was something we miss in the city. Then there was the fishing! Nice bass and sunfish, from the kayak and the dock, enough for dinner every night. We would def go back again. The house was clean with all the amenities, beds warm and comfortable. Might come back myself with a few buddies, fish all day then watch the sunset, beer in hand.
Our entire family (including our adult children) had a wonderful week. Emerald lake was the perfect size for us since we love to swim and didn't have to contend with motor boats. There's lots to do in the area especially if you like exploring. We spent a day hiking at Mt Sunapee and ended with a dip at the Sunapee Lake State Park.
The house was neatly nestled by the lake with great views of the water from the outside deck. The house was clean and overall very well equipped (although it could use a better outdoor grill). It suited our family's purposes well. The owner was very responsive to our questions and couldn't have been nicer.We would highly recommend staying at Charlie's and Mary's for a peaceful, restful getaway.
My friend and I had a wonderful stay! The house is comfortable, clean, and very cozy. We enjoyed an early warm spell and had our breakfast and coffee out on the porch overlooking the lake many mornings.
The owners were kind and helpful. Charlie called to check in with us and we thanked him for the warm sunshine!
My friend and I went to a near by Fiber festival which was fun.
I have recommended this cottage to my friends (as others have in the cottage guest book) and hope to return soon!
We had a great week on Emerald Lake. The house was very clean and comfortable and had a well-stocked kitchen. We loved that the property was fenced in so that our dog could run around and have his own fun without us worrying he'd get off somewhere. The perennial gardens in the yard were so nice and in various stages of bloom. Our only gripe was the steep grading down to the water from the house, but as long as you take it easy it's fine. Emerald Lake is a small, quiet lake- speed limit is only 10mph- and while that may not be for everyone, it was a feature we absolutely loved. Total peace and quiet from the craziness of the city we live in.
We arrived on July 4 and spent the evening dockside watching the fireworks displays from neighbors around the lake, a real nice way to kick off our stay. We had a lot of wildlife visitors to the yard during our week: the usual chippies of course, but a couple of Woodpeckers came each morning as well as a Hummingbird or three throughout the week. There were Great Blue Herons doing some flybys and, we're pretty sure, a Bald Eagle soared way overhead one afternoon. But our best and favorite siting was that of a Barred Owl who visited at length twice, one day spending his morning in the tree just feet from the deck while we had our coffee. Just beautiful!
We've vacationed on plenty of lakes in NH over the years but nowhere as conveniently located to "civilization" as this home in Hillsboro. And that's the beauty of it- it's less than 10 minutes to the supermarket, liquor store, gas and numerous conveniences but once you're back at the house you'd never know it. Dinner at Tookey Mills was good- typical burgers and bar fare, reasonably priced and decent portions. Do yourself a favor and get to German John's Bakery on Main Street, you won't regret that at all. Keene is about 40 minutes away and their Main Street makes for a nice a day trip- great shops and places to eat (Fritz's has great sandwiches and even better fries. Go hungry!).
We ended our week spending Friday evening with our pup at the Hillsboro Balloon Festival watching the hot air balloons take off around sunset which was really incredible to see up close.
Thank you, Charlie & Mary, for opening your home to us. From fireworks to festival, we had a thoroughly wonderful and relaxing week in your lovely home.
The area is rural with some quaint towns nearby. The house is on the Hillsborough side of the Hillsborough/Henniker line.
Hillsborough has an old Historical Center; a visit there is like taking a trip back in time. There is a one-room school house, some old churches, grave yards, and an Art Gallery. You can also visit the barn workshop of the Gibson Pewter Craft and see cups being turned.
Hillsborough also has a more commercial district with an old fashion ice cream parlor, Peter's German Bakery, and Tooky Mill's Pub & Restaurant. Down on Main Street, you will find a Shaws Market, among other amenities.
Henniker, home of New England College, boast some excellent restaurants including the Colby Inn, for special occasions; the Country Spirit, for that local feel; and Daniel's Restaurant, which over looking the Contocook River.
Pat's Peak, in Henniker, is a wonderful family ski destination. Mt. Sunapee, another wonderful ski destination in Newbury, is also just a short drive away.

I have not used Ubuntu since 7.10--so Grub 2 is particularly new for me and as such I am sort of lost.
I installed the Ubuntu partitions manually by resizing my main partition and creating a swap and ext4 partition in the new free space. Both my Windows 7 boot partition and the main (C:) partition are still in tact and there has been no data loss.
Grub2, however, did not automatically add Windows 7. I have no idea how to work with its syntax and I am also not very sure if grub handles Windows 7 differently than previous windows releases.
Could anyone tell me how to manually or automatically add my windows 7 partition?

Time management is essential to monitoring a 47 position portfolio. My 1st comment concludes with "Rich-unck:xx hrs"; I uncheck from the article to avoid repetitive comments, nonsense, and (most) arguments. I extend another XX hrs when I respond to a question or comment...I also respond to all PMs.
BACKGROUND My journey as a self-directed investor (SDI) began in 1973, and resulted in financial independence at age 52, which also allowed me to retire from corporate life the following year (Feb 1995).
I have no special knowledge not attainable by others who also dedicate themselves to the study of the economy, market, and stocks...I could cease all portfolio management today, and place it with a professional manager; however, I enjoy the psychic and financial rewards. Alternatively, I could become a passive investor via mutual funds and/or index ETFs (those works too! ). With few exceptions, As a rule, Rich only discusses his IRA here--it is only a portion of his and Joyce's investment assets.
INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY If you 'lived for today' over the past 5 or 6 decades, you better invest in lottery tickets. The most probable path to a financially secure retirement is the product of an investment program (either active or passive) started when relatively young; living on less than all your after-tax income (saving means delayed gratification); and either self-directed or via professional management, adopting a sensible strategy suitable to age and comfort zone. There is wisdom in flexibility, diversification, and not being life-long wed to any strategy. It is appropriate to take greater risk for greater rewards (sensible growth stocks) when younger, as those are our lowest earnings years combined with our highest expense years--in the years between early investment and retirement, investments in solid growth companies can double 8 times or more.
There is time to adjust allocations to a more conservative strategy when closer to retirement. Never assume you have an information edge over the professionals. Time-in-the-market is your principle advantage. When/if you become interested in dividend stocks, never forget both price return and dividends compound, and price more so.
Financial independence is achieved when one has sufficient confidence his/her lifestyle will not change significantly, regardless of the potential depth or breadth of decline suffered by their portfolio--including a prolonged series of bear markets such as 1929-37. True, the recent 18-month bear market ending mid-2009, was deep--but also too brief to consider its lack of widespread dividend cuts to be as proof a portfolio of dividend-payers won't suffer income losses in a more prolonged decline (i.e., no portfolio is "dividend bulletproof").
The balance of this profile is lengthy, and likely not helpful to passive investors who simply go along for the ride, their portfolios bobbing up and down like flotsam in the ocean; their course always subject to the whims of winds, waves, and trends...THIS IS YOUR ONLY WARNING!
PORTFOLIO GOALS Now in my 70s, it's no longer appropriate to engage in the growth strategies applied in wealth accumulation. As a more conservative investor, 100% of his portfolio consists of dividend-payers. 95% of positions have investment grade credit ratings (the lone exception is a REIT).This combination, along with having companies in 10 of the 11 S&P GICS sectors (none in Materials at this time) provide a measure of diversification. This IRA portfolio holds no bonds, though bonds and other investments are held elsewhere.
Maximizing total return and wealth preservation are mutually exclusive. A key observation: Having the capacity for risk is not the same as having the tolerance for it!
Rich's objective is now a 'smoother-ride' that levels out the market's peaks and valleys (limit losses, trim notable excess valuation). That smoother ride in an all-equity portfolio cannot be achieved without active management and continuous monitoring of positions--therefore TIME is an essential input to his portfolio management. Active management does not' means frequent changes, as it is not unusual for a quarter or more to pass between a trimming or sale (nonetheless, when a company fundamentals change, or a mistake is made, corrective action is taken.)
STRATEGY SINCE 2008 Rich targets both legs of TOTAL RETURN (distributions + price change). His Growth & Income strategy often focuses on VALUE investing tactics applied to dividend-payers. Value investors seek out unpopular, companies most investors are avoiding (i.e., fundamentals have declined but credit rating is strong, BoD has implemented a rational recovery plan, and the dividend not in danger). Value investors seek to be paid to wait for other investors to recognize the stock's value and assign it a greater share price. In any event, value stock or growth stock, Rich always seeks a 'margin of safety'--no shares are bought at prices >FV, and his margin of safety is derived from dividends paid, price appreciation, and rising FV over time.
In all cases, value or growth, Rich selects well-established dividend-paying companies having a high-probability of growing earnings (growth of earnings is ESSENTIAL to growth of price and dividends). He tends to be flexible, forward looking, reactive to changing fundamentals, and willing to admit a mistake so action follows.
SDI is not easy, success is not assured, and in recent decades, advice from academics, and investment coaches, almost universally recommend index funds. Those NOT having the prerequisite time and interest are unlikely to develop the requisite skills for stock investing--thus the probability strongly suggests most newbies would be better served by indexing (Ben Graham wrote favorably of indexing). However, when done successfully, self-directed stock investing can offer rich psychic and financial rewards.
CORE PORTFOLIO Presently, +/-30 equities. Core holdings dominate at about 65% of total portfolio positions. Favored are traditional, large- and mid-cap, low-beta, best/near-best in class, institutional-owned, moaty, dividend-paying, value and growth stocks, having investment-grade debt ratings, and representing the consumer staples, healthcare, utilities, and telecom sectors.
OPPORTUNISTIC PORTFOLIO The remaining 15+ positions consist of equally well-known dividend-payers found among widely-owned cyclicals, such as financial, industrials, consumer discretionary, technology, real estate, and energy sectors are sensitive to the economy. In an expanding economy, cyclicals typically grow their earnings (and dividends) faster than do the typically slower-growing core companies. But because the reverse is also true, in a contracting economy, these positions are intended to be heavily trimmed to preserve gains as the economy peaks and shows evidence of decline. Some are susceptible to quite significant price declines when Mr. Market assumes their will suffer reduced earnings, and sometimes dividend-freezes/cuts, in anticipation of those events.
Rich is sometimes fully-invested, but unlike some, observes no such rule. Building a large cash cushion at the front-end of a correction/bear market (-20%) provides the dry powder required to both cushion the market's decline, and also creates the cash required to purchase excellent companies at below FV prices (without having to sell a position he wants to keep!).
TRIMMING POSITIONS When positions in either portfolio become significantly overvalued, they are trimmed by 5-10%, and the proceeds applied to fairly valued companies before the (almost always) temporary gift of over-valuation reverts to the price mean. If the position continues to advance, and absent other information, the position will be trimmed again. Added benefits to selective trimming include (1) serves as a more sensible method of rebalancing (as opposed to automatic--professionals do not use such a meat cleaver); (2) reduces the position's remaining Capital at Risk (which may suggest room for additional shares within an otherwise full position), and (3) provides the necessary dry powder to buy other shares at FV or below.
OTHER INTERESTS As we age, the importance of family grows. Rich has long volunteered in his community; over the years has served with distinction as member/chair of a number of advisory committees. Assisting others on SA is also a source of satisfaction and fulfillment.
Finally, having been blessed by years of excellent investment performance, Joyce and Rich have long been avid world travelers, and have visited over 60 countries over a span of 30 years (his SA avatar reflects the Taj Mahal in his sun glasses). They reside in Michigan--for 9 months of beauty, bliss, and family, and thoroughly enjoy wintering in equally beautiful Naples FL--for 3 months of sunny warmth and relaxation.
Life is good--it's been an unbelievably awesome ride!

Simply Safe Dividends helps dividend investors increase current income, make better investment decisions, avoid risk, and grow their wealth faster.
I am an investment professional focused on finding a sustainable path to earnings beats, preferably in beaten up compounders. I like investing in high quality companies, but my experience on the sell side taught me that it is hard to fight the power of a financial trend. Financial estimates, just like stock prices, are subject to human emotion. I believe big swings should be taken when Mr. Market and Mr. Estimate have created a compelling opportunity.
Sure Dividend helps individual investors find high quality dividend growth stocks with strong competitive advantages suitable for long-term holding.

I'm an early 40′s Internet entrepreneur that launched several dot coms with varying success in each. At the very least my living has been made online for the past 17 years and at the most I had a fun time in each venture.
I began seriously investing for dividend income around 2007 when my business at the time was literally falling off a cliff, as most of the world was starting too as well, when my need for another income stream became more apparent. I have always known the benefits of dividends from my very first stock purchase back in 1988 but wasn't yet sold on the concept of tying up my money indefinitely purely for a dividend income stream. It was around that time that I learned about Dividend Aristocrats and Dividend Champions when it all just made sense. I could literally see the effects of compounding dividends from these select companies and thought a nice diversified portfolio could provide me with a decent to excellent income stream decades down the road.
A mid-30s ex-venture capitalist and investment banker (finance degree)...now a serial startup CFO. I used to look for yield in all the wrong places, but have created a modified dividend growth (DGI) strategy that works for me.

-I have been investing since the fall of 2008 and invested through one of the most difficult investing periods in history and know the importance of dividend growth and stability during those times as well as during the good times. I started writing for Seeking Alpha a little over three years ago and I have been successful with the companies I write about, which is shown by my high TipRanks success rate (Link Below). https://www.tipranks.com/bloggers/brad-kenagy

I am not receiving compensation from SA or anyone else for my Instablogs and articles published at SeekingAlpha. I have never received any compensation for the posts published at my blog website. I am simply passing on what I have learned as an investor over 4+ decades free of charge.
In all of my 2000+ posts since early October 2008, the primary purpose was to provide a framework for rational and fact based investment decision making that will hopefully reduce the number of errors made.
My most basic investment strategy is to focus on income generating securities and then to invest the cash flow into more of the same, creating a compounding impact over a long period of time. I will invest in securities throughout the capital structure on a worldwide basis.
I am now and have always been a cautious total return investor (income + capital appreciation).
A focus on income generation simply means that income generation through interest or dividend payments is an important part of my total return objective.
I am no longer in an asset accumulation mode. Capital preservation is more important than capital appreciation.
Income generation is only one aspect of an objective evaluation of potential rewards balanced against potential risks.
After several decades of "turtle" investing, which sometimes requires me to pull my head back into the shell and to cease foraging in stock land (e.g. 1999), I am now admittedly absurdly diversified due largely to one of my risk management techniques that limits my monetary exposure to the securities of a single company.
My monetary exposure is largely dictated by a balancing of potential risks and rewards taking into consideration income generation and potential for capital appreciation.
As a risk control trading technique and in furtherance of my capital preservation emphasis, I will frequently use the natural volatility of a security to gradually build up a position, selling the highest cost shares on price spikes and buying back those shares when the purchase is lower than my average cost per share usually by more than 5%. The general idea is to lower my average cost per share over time with tax efficient share dispositions, thereby increasing my dividend yield for the remaining shares.
I have also been a practitioner of dynamic or tactical asset allocation that will be driven by my big picture views, including my Vix Asset Allocation Model, as well as my opinions about the relative risks and opportunities of various asset classes.
I was born in 1951, and started to invest in stocks when I was 16. I am not a financial advisor, but simply an individual investor who has been managing my own money for my adult life starting when I was a teenager. All of my brokerage accounts are cash accounts. I have never bought stock on margin. I have not added money to any of these accounts since 1984 and have used those accounts to fund my annual IRA contributions.
I started my web site, Stocks & Politics, in October 2008 to do whatever I can to help individuals become better investors, which requires a lot of hard work and effort. After over 2000+ blogs, mostly long ones, I came to a realization that my time consuming and laborious efforts have been mostly futile and have been rewarded at best with faint praise. I will no longer be posting there.
I would still emphasize that it is important for individuals to become as knowledgeable as possible before making any decision, with every individual taking full responsibility for their investment decisions and to prepare accordingly, which is what I try to do.
The Twitter Generation will need IMO far greater investment skills than previous generations given what I now perceived about future U.S. economic conditions.

Not much; but that's all you are going to get, for now. If I told you more, well, you know.
Sorry I hide my true identity but I'm a physicist/engineer, native contrarian and idea generator. I am an eclectic dividend investor with motto "In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash" applied to companies I invest in.
I like to read /and read a lot - did you look on my SA photo 8-)? / including popular and academic investment books and papers. After 200+ books I concluded that many (but not all) finance academics failed to delivery a good science because they usually are more concerned about match between their models and limited (in time and place) data-sets than about underlying assumptions of their models. On another hand, finance practitioners such as fund managers have different goals than I (for example, they want to outperform or replicate market each single year while my goal is to have smooth income from my investment and I don't worry to underperform in a bull market) and to some extend more limited in their choices than I (for example, with micro- and nano-cap stocks). It gives a chance for me as amateur investor to compete successfully with professionals in niche strategies such as dividend investment (see http://seekingalpha.com/instablog/725729-sds-seductive-dividend-stocks/266502-why-i-m-a-dividend-zealot-jan-31-2012).
My real portfolio consists of more than 100 dividend growth (DG) and high yield (HY) high quality stocks of USA and foreign companies with good history of dividend payments. I cherry-picked these stocks from the end of XX century in accordance with my ideas on diversification for income-equity investors ( http://seekingalpha.com/instablog/725729-sds-seductive-dividend-stocks/4183595-an-estimation-of-dividend-growth-portfolio-size). I also maintain artificial so-called "poor"folio of dividend stocks I use for self-education about market.
I understand that DGI is mostly trust in company's Board of Directors consistency and that HYI is mostly disagreement with market sentiment but both styles fit my goals and mentality,
My investor edges are
i) critical scientific approach (used in natural science rather than in liberal sciences) to finance academics ideas and strong selection between useful and worthless findings;
ii) quite predictable proprietary model of dividend reductions forecast in near future (couple years) that I have delivered from mix of hardware engineering ideas and physics concepts with finance data and behavior signals that allows me to sell stocks before such unpleasant event, and that I continue to polish;
iii) independence in time frames and market exposures forbidden for many finance practitioners;
iv) analyses of companies that are too small for institutional investors.
I have couple excellent ideas in dividend investing I'd like to capitalize, so serious requests are welcome.
I rather put my thoughts and ideas in SA Instablog and comments than in articles (I'm pretty busy/lazy/English-incompetent to perfect an article) but in all cases all standard disclaimers are applied. One of good things I have learned in Intel, that decision should be data driven. So I try to supply my ideas and thoughts with most relevant data. I love old Russian writer and dramatist Anton Chekhov principle "Brevity is the sister of talent" and think it is even more important nowadays with ocean of information in front of any investor. So, I try to follow this principle in my SA instablog and comments but please remember that "If I have more time, I would have written shorter".
Being a scientific journals referee I have a bad habit to find few weak points in almost any manuscript, so I probably too critical in some comments but I hope the article authors excuse me. I prefer communicate via SA email rather than inside comments (I usually turn off "Track new comments on this article" feature SA has). So send me a SA email if you have a question or would like to discuss my point of view.
Private Investor. Been in the Markets for 30+ years, mostly with the more well-known stuff. Have been successful utilizing the "buy-and-hold" strategy, but will trade when the situation warrants it. Have been using the investing principle of selling covered calls at times. This requires discipline, but can be very profitable.
My background is in Finance/Accounting. I have a diversified employment history, having worked in the Healthcare, Aerospace, Retail industries.
65 years old, been trading for almost 40 years. Take a long view, I have 100 % faith in long term fundamentals and use Technicals (MACD/RSI/MOM/Fibonacci) only to gauge entry/exit points.
I believe the bankers and heads of financial institutions responsible for the derivatives mess should all have had lengthy prison sentences of the type handed down to Skilling (Enron) and Ebbers (WorldCom). The District Court Judge said of Skilling:
"His crimes have imposed on hundreds, if not thousands of victims a life sentence of poverty."
And exactly what did the bankers, Goldman Sachs and the others do to have deserved a lesser sentence or even no sentence at all?
Thirty-three year old individual investor building my portfolio towards the goal of retiring with a steady stream of income. Looking for opportunities to learn from others and share my investing endeavors with the SA community.
Formerly known on SA as use "HighOnDividends".
Full-time investor.
Focus on blue chip (dividend Aristocrats and constituents of David Fish's CCC list), REIT, and energy holdings.
Diversified portfolio with 80+ positions, primarily focused on US, CA, and UK/AU/CH/IL (ADRs).
Created my own mini mutual fund without all the BS and MER and various stacked-on other fees imposed by funds and full-service brokers. I am my own personal mutual fund manager. How great is that!
Change for 2014/2015: Strategy continued the shift to more sustainable stocks with lower beta, high credit ratings (A- or better), and companies that have paid increasing dividends for a minimum of 10 years. And slowly away from lower quality energy/gas/oil names to the largest ones with the highest quality (retreat to safety).
Companies in portfolio must be profitable (i.e. positive net profit and EPS), dominant (i.e. market cap minimum $5 Billion), easy-to-understand, relatively recession-proof, with a current high yield or lower yield and high dividend growth rate (I follow the Chowder Rule explained here on SA).
Change for 2016: Stopped DRIPing after many years and now re-deploy dividends into new companies for further international diversification. Do not want to DRIP into full positions, because that inflates them to over-full positions. Dividends are re-deployed into new positions or to fill existing positions to Full status.
Moderate yield plays. Buy, hold + monitor strategy. Goal is to live solely off dividends in retirement.
Early retirement thanks to dividends, 2016. To those who said dividends don't work, u so wrong.
Short nothing. No options trading.
No fear, no ETFs, no mutual funds, no financial planners (all fired many years ago), no nonsense.
Keep it simple.
I'm a dividend growth investor in my mid 30s. I invested in poorly performing mutual funds in my 20s, but in the last couple of years have transitioned towards equities. Although the bulk of my stocks produce income, I also invest in stocks which are more oriented towards capital appreciation. Since I switched to a more entrepreneurial career, I'm hoping to live off my current dividends until I can get a reliable income stream going again. Think of me as a young retiree!

I am a Civil Engineer, who is married with two young kids. In 2013 I took a more active role in managing my IRA for retirement and decided to publicly share my experiences in building the portfolio as an example for the dividend growth investing strategy.
My interest in investing mostly began in 2005 when I started up an investment club with a few friends from college and has accelerated as I've been reading and learning along the way. Since then, investing and the stock market has become a passion and favorite hobby and I've enjoyed writing about stocks and sharing ideas I have here on Seeking Alpha.
My investing goals are to build a nest egg for retirement and fund college education accounts for my kids. I invest mainly in dividend paying stocks that have shown a history of consistent growth in earnings and dividend payouts.

Using the noise gate on guitars
As I said in the previous video, a gate is sort of a reverse compressor that can be used to cover up any noises or buzzes or coughs or any kind of low-level noises that were recorded on the track. In this video I am going to show you how to use a noise gate to clean up a guitar track. So the first thing we're going to do is have a listen to this track so you can hear the noise and you can hear the guitar play when it comes in. (music playing) Now what you are hearing there is a very loud Marshall that's set up so it sounds good for the guitar player, but as a result, it has a very loud buzz, and you can hear some string noise and everything prior to the guitar entering.
So what we are going to try to do is get rid of that, so we are going to bring our expander/gate in and just have a quick listen. These are some random settings. And let's hear what happens. (music playing) Now if you take notice, this worked great from standpoint that it got rid of the noise at the beginning, ...

Repligen (NASDAQ:RGEN)
Q3 2012 Earnings Call
November 08, 2012 9:00 am ET
Jonathan I. Lieber - Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer
Walter C. Herlihy - Chief Executive Officer, President, Director and Member of Science & Technology Committee
William J. Kelly - Chief Accounting Officer
Scott Gleason - Stephens Inc., Research Division
Michael Wood - LifeSci Advisors, LLC
Good day, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Third Quarter 2012 Repligen Corporation Earnings Conference Call. My name is Grant, and I will be your coordinator for today. [Operator Instructions] I would now like to turn the call over to Mr. Jonathan Lieber, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of Repligen. Please proceed.
Jonathan I. Lieber
Thank you, Grant, and good morning. The purpose of this call is to discuss our Q3 2012 results and our transition to a life sciences company focused on bioprocessing. Joining me on the call today is Walter Herlihy, our President and CEO; and Bill Kelly, our Chief Accounting Officer.
At the outset, I'd like to state that this discussion may contain forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause our plans to change or results to vary. In particular, unforeseen events outside of our control may adversely impact future results. Additional information concerning these factors is discussed in our annual report on Form 10-K, the current reports on Form 8-K we filed today and other filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Now I'll turn the call over to Walter Herlihy, who will comment on our strategy.
Walter C. Herlihy
Thank you, Jon. In August, we announced the strategic decision to focus our resources on the growth of our Bioprocessing business, which is based on the development and manufacture of high valuable consumables which are used to manufacture biologic drugs including monoclonal antibodies. Our decision was based on 5 factors: first, the expanding market for biologic drugs; second, our long established expertise in bioprocessing; third, our collaborations and long-term supply agreements with world-class partners; fourth, the low regulatory risk of this business; and finally, several identified new growth opportunities.
Our focus on bioprocessing also provides a clear investment thesis for life sciences investors who want exposure to this rapidly growing marketplace without the binary risk inherent in pharmaceutical product development. Subsequently, we have finalized the transition plan for our therapeutic programs consistent with our desire to partner these assets.
For RG1068, our imaging agent and our 2 Phase I CNS programs, we have defined short-term objectives which we believe will support partnering discussions. These include obtaining feedback from the FDA on the next steps in the RG1068 development program and patient enrollment into 2 open Phase I clinical trials in Friedreich's Ataxia and Spinal Muscular Atrophy. We expect the bulk of these activities will be completed by year's end and be substantially completed by March of 2013.
In the fourth quarter, we expect to take a restructuring charge of approximately $350,000 for severance and other expenses associated with the reduction and the headcount associated with these programs. As we look forward to 2013, we expect these actions to reduce our R&D expenses by approximately 50% compared to 2012, and when combined with improved manufacturing efficiencies and increased revenues, to significantly improve our financial performance as Jon will discuss in a moment. Our progress is consistent with our goal to build a best-in-class life sciences company, which can benefit from the growing market for biologic drugs.
Now I'll turn the call back over to Jon, who will review our Q3 results and provide preliminary financial expectations for 2013.
Jonathan I. Lieber
Thanks, Walter. This morning we reported results for the third quarter ending September 30, 2012. For the quarter, we recorded bioprocessing product revenue of $11.1 million, an increase of 94% from the prior year. Our revenue increase was driven by the addition of Repligen Sweden.
Total revenue for the quarter, including royalty and research revenue was $15.1 million. Net income for the quarter was $1.8 million or $0.06 per diluted share compared to net income of $605,000 or $0.02 per diluted share for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.
Today, we are confirming our financial expectations for 2012, including bioprocessing product revenue of $41 million to $43 million, which includes approximately $10 million in revenue for the holiday shortened fourth quarter. We expect total revenue for the year of $55 million to $57 million and net income of $5 million to $7 million compared to a loss of $3.6 million in 2011. The company currently has over $60 million in net operating loss carryforwards and other tax credits available to reduce future U.S. income taxes, and we expect our tax liability to be approximately $300,000 in 2012 or roughly 5.2% of pretax income. These taxes are primarily the result of profits earned in our Swedish subsidiary for which we cannot utilize those credits.
Our expense forecast for 2012, includes $4.4 million of noncash expenses, including depreciation, amortization and stock option expense. Finally, we now expect to end the year with approximately $45 million in cash and cash equivalents which is roughly $9 million ahead of our cash position at the end of last year.
Looking forward to 2013, we expect a significant improvement in gross margins to approximately 50%. In addition, we expect a reduction on R&D expenses to approximately $5 million and SG&A expenditures of approximately $12 million. Assuming a 10% increase in product revenue, we project a pretax profit of between $16 million and $18 million for 2013.
We currently have plans to expand our Waltham manufacturing facility in 2013 with approximately $5 million to $6 million in capital improvements to prepare for anticipated increases and demand in 2014 and beyond. I will now turn the call back over to Walter for concluding remarks.
Walter C. Herlihy
Thank you, Jon. Before we close, I would like to share with you some exciting data that was presented at the annual meeting of American Heart Association this week by Amgen. They report the results of 2 clinical studies of investigational monoclonal antibody called AMG 145 in patients with uncontrolled LDL or bad cholesterol.
In one study, patients who are intolerant to statins showed a dramatic reduction of 40% to 50% in their LDL cholesterol over the 12-week study compared to only a 15% reduction with the currently marketed product from Merck. In the second study, similarly dramatic results were obtained in a group of patients with a genetic abnormality that results in very high, uncontrollable levels of cholesterol.
Amgen's data are consistent with results from Sanofi, which is developing a competitive antibody with the same target, which were published earlier this year in the New England Journal of Medicine. Sanofi announced this week the initiation of a large Phase III study. The market for these antibodies is substantial with an estimated 10 million people in the U.S. alone with poorly controlled cholesterol despite treatment with statins. This emerging product class has the potential to be the largest single use of monoclonal antibodies and supports our belief that monoclonals will increasingly be employed in new clinical applications, greatly expanding their market potential.
If you would like to follow news about this and other monoclonal antibody developments, please subscribe to our Twitter feed, you can link to it from the homepage of our website, www.repligen.com, under the section titled Industry Developments.
In summary, we are committed to building the best in class life sciences company focused on the development, manufacturing and sale of high-value consumables for the growing biomanufacturing market. We believe we have the expertise, facilities, partners and strategy to fully participate in expanding market for Biologics. We look forward to updating you on our progress. I will now turn the call back over to the operator for our question-and-answer period.
Question-and-Answer Session
[Operator Instructions] Our first question comes from the line of Scott Gleason from Stephens.
Scott Gleason - Stephens Inc., Research Division
I guess just to start off, when we look at the guidance range in the product guidance, I know you guys have kind of $10 million in bioprocessing revenue in the fourth quarter. It seems a little conservative in light of kind of where you guys have come in the last 2 quarters. Is there anything else going on from kind of the order timing issue or anything else when we kind of look at that number?
Walter C. Herlihy
Yes, good question, Scott. We typically see a somewhat erratic behavior from customers in the fourth quarter. Occasionally, they'll be scrambling to fill the pipeline and get things out the door and we'll be shipping on December 23. Most likely, as was the case last year at this time, you see a hiatus where companies really don't want to take in significant shipments after the 10th or 15th of December because they can't turn them into product and get them out the door themselves. So you see a little bit of inventory bleed down. I think we anticipate that the first quarter of 2013 will see a rebound and be a particularly strong quarter as result of that shift, end of year shifting.
Scott Gleason - Stephens Inc., Research Division
Okay, great. And thanks for all the details you guys provided on the cost front. I think that's really helpful in terms of forecasting out. I guess, Walt and Jon, when we look at 2014, I guess, how do we kind of think about operating expense growth, R&D and SG&A, 1 year beyond that? A lot of people are starting to kind of think about 2014 numbers in terms of value in the stock.
Walter C. Herlihy
Right, I think as we obviously don't have any explicit projections for 2014 at this stage, but philosophically, we would seek to achieve certain metrics of R&D, for example, as a percent of sales and we would expect that R&D would grow at the rate of sales. Perhaps a little bit, in particular if an opportunity came along, might grow a little bit faster but basically being check at the rate of top line growth. And similarly, SG&A, we would expect to grow somewhat lower than top line growth as we expect to get some leverage off of our fixed SG&A base.
Scott Gleason - Stephens Inc., Research Division
And Walt, the projections that you guys provided account for all of the funded R&D programs that you guys have with your partners, your commercial partners?
Walter C. Herlihy
Yes, it's all in the number.
Scott Gleason - Stephens Inc., Research Division
Okay, great. And then just one last question, I guess when we look at the pharma pipeline, is there anything you guys kind of give us in terms of any indications of interest from potential commercial partners there, any progress that you've made on that front?
Walter C. Herlihy
We certainly have a number of discussions. Some are more advanced, some are earlier stage; it's very difficult to calibrate whether and when any of those will come to conclusion. But we're active in numerous discussions on each program.
Our next question comes from the line of Michael Wood from LSA.
Michael Wood - LifeSci Advisors, LLC
A couple of questions. First of all, I noticed the departure of your Chief Commercial Officer, Bob Spurr in the last couple of weeks. Can you comment on the circumstances of him leaving the company?
Walter C. Herlihy
Sure. That was something we announced about a week ago. Bob was recruited here about 1.5 years ago to lead the launch in United States of RG1068, the pancreatic imaging. He had previously worked at another imaging company here in Massachusetts called Lantheus, and was ideally suited for that. Obviously, with a change in direction of the company and the focus on the bioprocessing segment, that opportunity wasn't available anymore and Bob has made a decision that he was going to return to a Big Pharma and continue to pursue his career in therapeutic drug marketing. We certainly wish him all the best of luck in that. He made a lot of contributions when he was here. But I think personally, it makes a lot of sense for him to continue in the pharmaceutical space.
Michael Wood - LifeSci Advisors, LLC
And a financial question. I noticed there's an item on the P&L this quarter I haven't seen before, the contingent consideration fair value adjustments, can you explain what that is, please?
William J. Kelly
Yes, sure. This is Bill Kelly. You'll recall that we did the purchase of Repligen Sweden. We purchased them for about EUR 20 million as well as EUR 4 million in contingent earn out obligations. And so the way the accounting works is we do a probability weighted analysis of the likelihood of those development resulting in eventual payments to Novozymes. And so we look at those every quarter, given the growth in sales, periodically what we'll see is those payments becoming more likely and so it's about a $340,000 increase in the likelihood of making some of those payments.
Our next question comes from the line of Stewart Hen [ph] from Solado Capital [ph]
Unknown Analyst
Can you -- the first is just a housekeeping one, I didn't get to write down all the 2013 expectations. Could you just repeat this?
Walter C. Herlihy
Well, Jon, just give a quick recap of that.
Jonathan I. Lieber
Sure. So what we said is that we expect a significant improvement in gross margins to approximately 50%, 5-0 percent. We're looking for reduction in R&D expenses to approximately $5 million. We're looking at SG&A expenditures of approximately $12 million. And what we said after that was if you assume a 10% increase in product revenue, that would result in a pretax profit of roughly $16 million to $18 million for 2013 and then the other piece that we gave was we do have a fairly sizable capital expenditure estimate for next year of $5 million to $6 million and that has to do with expansion of our Waltham manufacturing facility for increases in future demand.
Unknown Analyst
Okay. That's helpful. Maybe could you talk about some of the newer product initiatives and progress along those fronts? I know you're working on a number of new initiatives to extend the already strong bioprocessing product line? Do you have any updates on that front?
Walter C. Herlihy
Nothing is a definitive announcement. We are certainly continuing to push ahead with the Opus Chromatography Pre-packed Column Line. I would say we are getting certainly inbound interest from a number of large life sciences companies which might result in strategic collaborations on development or marketing. I think that's really the primary thing. I talked about in our last conference call that we had completed one collaboration with the pharmaceutical company -- of, gee, healthcare I guess which was for Protein A [ph] and then we had a second active collaboration now with another large life sciences company. So that's an active program that probably will come to market sometime in 2013, if all goes well. So we're pretty much in the same mode we were before and seeing lots of interest from people who want to participate in biochromatography knocking on our door.
Unknown Analyst
So that sounds like on the second act of collaboration, that's incremental progress from last quarter?
Walter C. Herlihy
Our next question comes from Ed Ramsey from Friedreich Research Alliance.
Edward Ramsey
Walt, my name is Ed Ramsey with Friedreich's Ataxia Research Alliance. I'm the Chairman of the Board. I'm just curious your interest with Friedreich's Ataxia and you've done a lot of research with the HDAC inhibitor which we're very much interested in seeing moving forward, what are your plans for moving that forward or handling that for the year 2013?
Walter C. Herlihy
Well, I mentioned in my prepared remarks, we are actively recruiting patients, Friedreich's Ataxia patients in the Phase I clinical study to gather some important pharmacology and biomarker data on the lead compound. And that and other data are the basis of discussions that are ongoing with several parties about potentially partnering and assuming development responsibilities for the HDAC inhibitors and Friedreich's. So while it's difficult to predict exactly when such a partnership might be struck, that's certainly an objective for us going into 2013.
Edward Ramsey
I see. And how are you proceeding with your -- obviously you've got this in Phase I in Italy, how's that come along now?
Walter C. Herlihy
It's going very well. We're seeing a lot of cooperation from both the clinical and patient communities there. And so we're seeing steady enrollment. We would anticipate that enrollment in that study would be done sometime in early 2013.
Edward Ramsey
And if you start to get any data or when do you expect to have data back from that clinical in Italy?
Walter C. Herlihy
We would expect to have some data back some time at maybe the end or first quarter or early second quarter of 2013. At the moment that's all preliminary and in motion. So it hasn't really been digested yet.
We have no questions at this time. [Operator Instructions]
Walter C. Herlihy
Okay, operator, with no further questions, then we would welcome any other inquiries that you have about the company through contacting Investor Relations at the company. And I thank you all for participating in this morning's call.
Thank you for your participation in today's conference, ladies and gentlemen. This concludes your conference call.

According to a spokesman, Saleh is in Saudi Arabia for "simple check-ups," but "western diplomatic sources" tell CNN that the president is undergoing neurosurgery and had suffered "severe burns to his face and chest." It's unclear what Saleh's departure means for the ongoing protests and clashes between government forces and opposition groups, but opposition leaders say they will not allow Saleh to return to the country. The attack on Saleh's compound was originally blamed on a "rebel tribe"; the Yemeni government now believes it may have been Al Qaeda. [CNN; image via AP]Reply28 repliesLeave a reply

Author maps the 'naughty' side of Los Angeles
Who says tour guidebooks have to be dull?
Certainly not Sienna Sinclaire, author of "Naughty Girl's Guide to Los Angeles" (Naughty Girl Press).
Sinclaire, a veteran adult model and writer, has produced nearly 400 pages of diversions for visitors to Los Angeles that go beyond the PG-13 rated material in most guidebooks. The book's subject matter ranges from extreme (just use your imagination) to almost tame (high-end lingerie shops and places to get a spray tan). Pick your degree of naughtiness.
There are shopping destinations (everything from vintage shoes to chocolate treats that Hershey's only dreamed of) all the way to instructions on how to visit adult movie sets in the San Fernando Valley.
She also suggests female-friendly places for women traveling alone or with a husband/boyfriend. She recommends the bikini club Plan B ("a non-nude strip club), and innocuous meet-and-greets such as Glamourcon, where photographers and Playboy models engage in fully clothed conversation.
Then there's Buccaneer Days on Catalina Island.
"Everybody gets dressed up in naughty pirate costumes," she said.
In some of these places you can even wear masks, so there there's no need to worry about ending up on the Internet and having to face the torches-and-pitchforks wrath of your less adventurous neighbors back home.

If you look at the last 10-q, and look at the balance sheet, through 9/30, they retired about $6m of PFX. Given that it really got cheap after that, I believe they've been buying more. I asked IR, but they were mum, only saying that they were authorized to repurchase the bonds, so given that the bond is down 50% since 9/30, I'd say they're buying back pretty heavily at this discount (face on PFX is $25, trading under $8, yielding roughly 25%). Also, it goes ex on January 1, so there will probably be some trading up over the next few weeks toward the coupon payment. I think we saw gradual accumulation last week. I think Dona is toast, given the heavy buying by some of the activists (look at Third Point, in particular--they want her head--have increased tehir position by 50% as of their last filing), but I still think the bond PFX is still the better buy. Most recent ratings on this bond Baa3/BBB-/BBB (Moody's/S&P/A.M. Best).

7D + 430EXII: -2/3rds flash compensation is the new -1/3rd?
Feb 25, 2010
I have always used -1/3rd fill-in flash compensation with 10D, 20D, 40D + whatever Canon flash 380EX, 430EX, 430EXII when shooting editorial stock photography.
Now with 7D I have to back off a bit or images sometimes look too flashie.
Not a problem if -2/3rds = more flashes between recharging batteries.
Other 7D owners? Is it just me?
