I am looking forward to my new Toll Brothers home. It is going to be my dream home!

We love our new home, and are very grateful to be able to raise our children in the new community. It is a dream come true and we could not be any more excited to become a part of such a loving community.The Burns Family
We love our new Toll Brothers home…we personalized it by including a complete stone facade and added a bonus room by building a "tuck under." Toll Brothers has a wonderful reputation in the industry, and we chose Morris Chase because it is a planned community with wonderful amenities. This is the first house we've ever built and the sales and construction staff made it very enjoyable.The Jordan Family
From the moment we walked through the door, we knew Toll Brothers was different. The Morris Chase team took genuine, personal interest in satisfying our needs and those of our family for the future. We found their organization, communication, and attention to detail to be unparalleled. Honestly, with a company like this, why wouldn't you choose to have a home built? Toll Brothers certainly shows why their reputation stands alone.The Rock Family

Not a good fit but the design was wrong for this type of car.
Install Time: Instant
Sturdy material, great fit. Took about a day laying out flat with books on the edges to "uncurl" the mat from shipping (it comes rolled-up), but after that, it fits perfectly. I highly recommend the Weathertech liner over the less expensive alternatives on this site, as I had to return one of those due to it being defective...edges of the cheaper product were not at a "90 degree" angle, and it was too long for the vehicle. Weathertech really has it's game together!

Could this be all that we are good for?
And can this be all that I can offer?
Just a mind that's trained to waste away.
What do you have to show for you ruined day?
Make your dent here with your life.
Live a life full of pride, when I go I know I tried,
To live a full life, that wasn't along for the ride.
I'd rather be buried than ungrateful.
To be given life and food on the table.
And in a world this shaky, unstable.
We've got to be less hateful.

Skip to comments.I held a gun for the first time!
Posted on 04/04/2012 8:46:47 PM PDT by POWERSBOOTHEFAN
I was visiting a friend who owns two guns and I held his Baretta. I thought I'd be nervous but I wasn't.
What is the proper stance when firing a gun? I know how to hold one correctly.
Just do not do like the fellow in the picture of 22nd post.
I picked up a used Taurus copy with 2 mags for $250
You can get one at Bud's Gun Shop for less than $600.
OK then. I think I'm getting the picture...
Well, the Beretta shoots straight.
But I just got a Kahr CW45 -smallest pistol I've ever fired.
Still need more practice. Not used to it yet.
(My other pistols are a Springfield XDM 45 4.5" Bitone and a Ruger Super Blackhawk .44.)
Never had a gun in my life before Hussein, now I have six since I started last year and that will continue to increase.
If you have trouble racking the slide (pulling back the spring-loaded thing on top that moves in order to chamber a round) on the bigger guns, but still like Beretta's, check out the Beretta Tomcat.
You can flip up the barrel, drop in a .32 caliber Winchester silvertip then snap it shut, ready to go. Mine's very accurate, low recoil, like my Bofors.
Or ask mylife to tell you about the small but wonderful, larger caliber Ruger LC9.
(But don't raise the subject of `striker-fired' pistols.)
I don't look QUITE like that,LOL.
I figured that would be the correct stance.
Never under estimate your enemy:
I dont have issues with slides.
Im a guy.
I will say this about the Baretta 92.
Women have no trouble with them.
I am very happy with the LC9
You extend your arm, turn the gun sideways, and fire....... Or watch Tombstone, Powers Boothe's best movie. (/joking)
Seriously, I recommend taking a concealed carry class, even if you don't plan to carry. There's a couple of different stances. I usually use something similar to a Weaver stance, although my dominate arm isn't as extended.
"Welcome to the Party Pal"!
Be careful that you don't end up like A. Weiner.
Hey there I gots me one of them....
Its a fine design.
Doesn't matter where you are. The first rule of gun safety is to ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS treat a gun like it is loaded even if it clearly isn't.
That means you don't wave the gun around as you are talking or point it anybody in general. Point it away, up or down from everyone else. Even when cleaning it!
You always keep your finger off the trigger until you are committed to firing it. And before you fire it you should have a good idea of where it will go if you miss or it over-penetrates.
Once you get that rule down and in your head and practice it consciously all of the other gun safety rules will be a piece of cake!
Have fun and stay safe!
"This is my rifle, this is my gun....."
I know to be extremely careful. There is no way I would ever take a chance.
Please go take a series of classes and learn from an NRA-Certified Instructor, BEFORE you hurt anyone including yourself.
"I didnt fire it. It wasnt loaded. I just held it to see what it would be like."
I would really like to help out, really I would, but your posts were so 'loaded' I'm afraid it would only get me banned. ;-)
And when your ready....
It's gonna be a while before I'm ready for that! A LONG while!
That's JPFO... Jews For The Preservation of Firearms Ownership
for later...
All right, all right - you may hold my gun. Just be sure to squeeze it, don't yank it.
It's a great movie. Very under appreciated, including the performance by Tom Cruise. He's quite an interesting, very lethal character. Vincent.
lol...I see someone's been watching "Sons of Guns"...
Lets keep this g rated ok?
Put a comma between them.
Find an NRA instructor and take the FIRST Steps Pistol Orientation course: http://www.nrainstructors.org/searchcourse.aspx
Alternate NRA link: http://www.nra.org/nralocal.aspx
Took a training class (contemplating taking another one at Front Sight in Nevada) and now I own a Springfield 1911 and a Rugger .40 cal. We won't talk about what my husband owns....would take too long :)
What I really want is a Kel Tec. I have back problems and want a lightweight rifle and I like the folding stock. Everyone will say I'm nuts, though!
Enjoy! Have a blast! LOL
Why would that gun not shoot straight at any time? What could happen to that gun to cause it not to shoot straight? I think you really mean that after 20 years RandallFlag can still shoot straight.
I have one just like it and I had not fired a gun in 40 years until I went to the range recently with the Baretta 9mm. No matter where I aimed the bullet went straight. That doesn't mean I hit what I wanted to hit but the bullet went straight. The aim may be off but the bullet still goes straight down and out the barrel.
I watched another scene where he goes through a bar cutting down bad guys left and right. Exciting! I'll give Cruise his due after watching the video of him training for the part. He went the whole nine yards to get it right.
I believe the entire movie is watchable via youtube in 15 minute parts. But because of a great soundtrack and direction that makes you feel like you're right in L.A. as the night unfolds, I strongly recommend somehow getting the dvd and watching it on a quality tv. It's easy to watch and appreciate more than once.
Thanks! I would be just as well of watching it on my 'puter. It has a bigger screen than my TV. I haven't really adjusted to the 21st Century yet. lol
Get your mind out of the gutter!

Vatican Croatian Prayer Book
|This article does not cite any sources. (February 2007) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Vatican Croatian Prayer Book (Croatian: Vatikanski hrvatski molitvenik) is the oldest Croatian vernacular prayer book and the finest example of early štokavian vernacular literary idiom.
Written between 1380 and 1400 in Dubrovnik as a transcript and transliteration from older texts composed in a mixture of Church Slavonic and Čakavian idioms and written down in Glagolitic with some Bosnian Cyrillic script, it retained a few phonological and morphological features found in the original manuscripts. The book contains the following parts: Offices of the Virgin Mary according to the rites of the Roman Church; seven penitentiary psalms; Offices of the Holy Cross; Offices for the dead; Offices of the Holy Spirit as well as numerous prayers. The script is the Roman Gothic, embroidered with luxuriantly outlined initials and miniatures. The name of the prayer book reflects the fact that it is held in the Vatican library. The text has become widely known from 1859, when influential Croatian historian Franjo Rački drew attention to it, but the first critical edition did not appear until the 20th century: Croatian literary historian and philologist Franjo Fancev published «Vatican Croatian prayer book» in 1934.
The book's central importance lies in the fact that it is the first major štokavian vernacular text. Although proto-štokavian and mixed Church Slavonic-štokavian manuscripts are known to have appeared a century or two before the «Vatican Croatian prayer book», this is the first text in what can be termed a vernacular-lingua vulgaris. Analyses of the manuscript have shown that recorded morphological and phonological features are transient forms in the development of the shtokavian dialect, while its syntax is pretty much archaic- especially when compared to the idiom of later prayer books (the Croatian prayer book from 1450s, also from Dubrovnik and held in the library of Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts, Zagreb), or the syntax of Držić's dramas (early 16th century).

Axion Power Concentrator 200: Jan. 19: Axion Power PbC Batteries Continue To Demonstrate Effectiveness For Railroad Applications 241 commentsJan 19, 2013 9:22 AM | about stocks: AXPW
Latest News, Articles and Presentations...
Axion Power PbC Batteries Continue To Demonstrate Effectiveness For Railroad Applications -- Axion Power™ International, Inc. (OTC QB: AXPW), the developer of advanced lead-carbon PbC® batteries and energy storage systems, announced today that it completed shipping its high-performance PbC batteries to Norfolk Southern Corp. (NYSE:NS), one of North America's leading transportation providers, for use in Norfolk Southern's first all electric locomotive - the NS-999.
Axion Power shipped the last skids that comprised this battery order to NS in late December and the batteries will be used to power the NS-999 "yard switcher" locomotive. The switcher functions in the train yard where its responsibilities include moving rail cars and assisting in disassembling and assembling various train configurations. In parallel, Axion and Norfolk Southern continue to participate in the development of an energy system for "over the road" hybrid locomotives, that will be much more powerful units that would require significantly more batteries.
The final shipment of batteries to Norfolk Southern means that approximately $475,000 in revenue, attributable to the eventual re-commissioning of the NS-999, will be recognized in Axion's results for the fourth quarter of 2012, according to Thomas Granville , Axion Power Chairman and CEO.
"As we move into 2013, we are excited about the further unveiling of our PbC battery in our ongoing program with NS. The PbC properties that make our battery the chemistry of choice for 'all electric' and 'hybrid electric' locomotives - long cycle life, excellent cold temperature performance, fast charge and discharge capability, high charge acceptance, self equalization of charge in large string and in single battery cells, and above all, demonstrated safe operation regardless of temperature - all of these battery property advantages play well in a variety of other markets. Our new initiatives going forward include heavy trucks, charging station applications, residential energy and buffering and storage for wind and solar," Granville said.

It has occurred to me that I have been assuming NSC's reduction in battery count from 1,080 to 864 in re-populating the NS999 with PbCs versus original install AGMs reflected improved performance of the battery compared to conventional VRLAs. But, change in battery size might also explain or contribute to the change in battery count -- a switch to 30-HT size batteries like those used in PowerCubes.
Thoughts on pricing of PbC?
Since it appears that little if any testing was done with the original batteries maybe the count was a wild assed guess?
The overall available shelf area is probably equivalent for the battery swap.
Adjusting for the width: 850 * 6.8/6.77 = 854 batteries. hmmm. One might hypothesize that they have 14 shelves and have managed to make them all just long enough to fit one battery more/shelf.
"I would not be surprised to find that the eventual production version of NS999 to be +- 10% of the 864 number."
Lots of truth (not new to anyone who reads JP) in the Christian Science Monitor blog post. Suggest it's a good candidate for the header and for Bangwhiz's site, and for any letter you send to your friends/relatives suggesting this or any other energy storage stock.
Great link WTB,
Wtb: Good find.
Thanks WTB, I started following this industry over 20 years ago. Started out with investments in Valence and Ultralife. What's that saying about insanity?
We never forget that wife permission stuff.
Very cool avatar image, jakurtz. While plying the coasts of Prince William Sound during the Exxon Valdez oil spill, I would see purple starfish that made me think: "Shouldn't this fella be in the tropics?" Then I learned that the biggest of octupii are also cold-water critters.
Happy weekend! Bought my daughter, husband and 3 grand kids dinner last night at the end of a week of bad weather in Atlanta. Rain, gloom, oh the humanity! They looked shell-shocked from 2 hour commutes.
Zowie.......... Boeing is going to get help from CORPORATE....
Boeing may not have ever had a chance to consider the Axion PbC when they were "designing" the 787.
They should get help from someone who has already successfully worked with the chemistry and built large, robust battery packs that have lasted far longer than the Boeing units.
Ed - well, as long as they are going to spend the money anyhow, I'm for spending a little of it to evaluate the PbC - whether Argonne does it, or the Boeing selecting entity, or if even Axion does it; maybe Axion can already tell them the answer. Has anyone asked????
All those tax dollars from Washington going to Chicago (Argonne or Boeing, take your pick) fly right over New Castle's Axion. Like right over the goose that lays the golden eggs.
>nakedjaybird ... All this howling about aviation. Except for the DCA characteristic I've not seen anyone consider whether the PbC is even the right type of battery for the job Boeing is using battery power for. I rather doubt it is suitable. Are they likely to even consider it, I think it very unlikely.
Dr Rich
It would be at least 3 years for FAA certification. There is no chance this is an opening for PbC.
Possibly for something designed 5 years from now.
OTOH PbC is not high on the list for small. (Size is a constraint in airlines) Nor is it good for weight constrained systems.
The price difference is not material in a $100 million + aircraft.
Safety and ease of use, may get us some design wins after FFA approval. That however will be years.
>froggey77 ... First, I am NOT a Doctor of anything. I'm a mechanical engineer (retired). I do have a brother that is Dr. Rich who holds 4 or 5 degrees in math & physics so I'm not sure if those even count. What bugs me is so many people seemingly ignoring what the Axion PbC is and what it is useful for. It's like people (corporations, Wall Street & media) really, really want one battery chemistry to be the "One & Only". An attitude that I feel just retards the adaptation of storage solutions.
froggey - I thot I read somewhere that Boeing received a "special" consideration in it's FAA Certification. What that amounted to, I don't know.
AS for me, I'm most interested in satisfying the BIG Boeing problem in looking for an existing solution, not a solution looking for a problem (which is also good, when it's a real solution for the likes of the applications Axion is already pursuing). If Axion is not interested is any diversions such as Boeing's, fine. When they say that, we all stand down.
For a company like Axion the most critical market development decisions involve choosing your target markets carefully and only devoting money and talent to target markets that have enough scale to make a difference.

>nakedjaybird ... JP points out a very good economic reason. Let me add that the Li-Cobalt Boeing used points to a need for energy density, long duration power delivery. Axion's PbC is used for delivering power quickly and recovering quickly, not for delivering power over any great length of time.
John - that's a valid Axion business reason as you present it and is good enough for me to cease and desist.
I'm sure that Axion's management would serve almost any industry for the right price, particularly if the industry made the pilgrimage to New Castle like BMW did. I can't imagine, however, that you'll see Granville standing on a corner near the Boeing plant waving at cars and promising a quick charge.
I begin to wonder if jealousy is at play with the other battery manufacturers regarding using PbC. The margin is typically incredibly small for most manufacturers...Axion comes along with a product that will have a huge margin, compared to the manufacturer of the battery. The battery manufacturer says "It's my client, I make the battery and Axion makes all the money".

Interesting conversation from the solar guys regarding "The Hub". Shows how obscure Axion is. JMO
>iidelco ... Another commenter stated he'd been following the PbC for 10 years. Obviously not too closely because he didn't really understand any difference between the Ultrabattery & the PbC or performance characteristics different from other chemistry. Still his statement that he needed more 3rd party verification of performance rings true to marketing & sales. The sad thing is that both Lead-Carbon super-capacitance batteries will seemingly only be verified by adoption into marketable products and there doesn't seem to be any hurry there.
iindelco---sounds about right to me. It's not intended primarily as a huge storage device. Pending demand, maybe in addition to up to three in parallel, they will also offer a version with > 24 batteries in one unit?
Thanks, ii. Good find. The comment you quoted suggests to me that Rosewater is pretty narrowly focused on the market that want to target with the HUB. I also suspect that the Rosewater response is tacit acknowledgement of lower than expected interest in the product.
I thought it was up to the system designers and installers (in terms of top end homes electronics) to choose and sell the hub - not Rosewater. Rosewater is not a direct sales outfit if I understand correctly - but they will obviously provide sales and technical support to their indirect sales channel.
I wouldn't attempt to draw any conclusions from a commenter on a solar panel blog summarizing what he believes the HUB to be. Rosewater and Joe P. knows the type of customer and needs the HUB is intended to be used for. A guy looking to power his home with it or just a few batteries and a few solar panels is not it.
How is it a leap to surmise lower than expected interest in a product that has no apparent sales? For a product that supposedly had customers lined up and waiting for UL cert with shipments expected in 2012 we are surely observing 'gangbusters' marketing success! (sarc)
DRich, Yes. This one commenter didn't really understand the difference between PB with C and PbC. I fear I've seen this in many articles where the two are used interchangeably.
billa, revenues are reported quarterly with probable discussion of notable sales not subject to NDAs. For Axion's stage of commercialization, I fully expect PR releases on sales of new, high profile products. Management has made a point of publicizing the HUB and PowerCube products AND marketing efforts with Rosewater.
The project calls for the incorporation of Axion Power's PbC batteries, and technology know how, into a product package that offers distortion-free secure home power; an ability to store energy from renewable sources and from the electric grid; an ability to sell energy back to the electric grid; an opportunity to protect some, or all, of the residential circuitry and to prioritize these circuits. The companies, which are also working together to market PowerCubes™ for other applications, will preview the new array of products for the residential market at the CEDIA EXPO in Indianapolis during the first week of September.
I think Rosewater will have enough trouble staying off the rocks themselves, let alone providing enough auxiliary revenue to Axion, to be material to the bottom line. I do hope I'm wrong but the ultra high end audio/video UPS market still seems like a niche opportunity.
Any reason why Axion is not selling directly to the solar backup market? The high cycle life, lack of sulfation, and ability to remain at partial charge makes the PbC well suited for daily storage and night time output that a solar system requires, and the low energy density is not an issue. The HUB seems like a very narrow specialized product with low volume potential. Just sell the batteries to anyone who want's them already! A123 lost a lot of sales by refusing to sell to the millions of RC and EV hobbyists who wanted their product.
It takes a very large marketing, distribution and customer service organization to sell products to retail buyers. When you factor in the sophistication of the control systems required to take optimal advantage of the PbC, pursuing non-OEM markets simply don't make sense at this time.
"I consider PR announcement of residential HUB or PowerCube sales a very reasonable expectation."
Where do you see in my remark ANY suggestion of expectation HUB buyers would be identified? Why would anyone expect such information when such disclosure by buyer names by sellers of consumer products very atypical?
My point is that selling a residential HUB is not like selling a Power Cube to the Navy yard. Axion/Rosewater can't stand up and say, "look, so and so bought one" like so many of the demonstration sales you see for other companies. I agree that it is reasonable to have monthly or quarterly sales numbers of HUBs, but we aren't even at the end of the first month after the HUB received UL approval, so my point was that you seemed to be waiting for PR for individual sales, instead of waiting for some kind of grouped numbers.
Even without numbers, I would be happy enough "just" to read an announcement of who we're outsourcing the manufacturing to. We know they've planned for this eventuality; now we need a reason that it needs to happen now (demand) and the successful execution of the plan.
We've never had problems with management not keeping their promises. The real issue has been unreasonably optimistic shareholder expectations about what constitutes "timely." I'm as guilty as the next guy because I regularly underestimate how long something "should" take. From management's perspective there is no "should" and the only thing that matters is finishing what you set out to do.
The average talking head doesn't understand terms like SOC, charge acceptance, and cycle life. They hear voltage drop and miss the fact that the battery will recharge (in a properly designed application) long before it falls below any critical voltage level.
From the LA Times: Dreamliner woes put spotlight on lithium ion battery risks
A little OT, but it IS Saturday night. How do you suppose it ended up in Iowa?
I believe the DOE is setting up the Rare Earth Metals lab at the land grant University in AMES, IOWA,
Iowa State University.
This ag college has one of the nations first nuclear physics labs and other interesting research center.
I happen to think the the REM issues of the future will be a very crucial element in future survival of different countries economies, in the future.
This basic learning center is what I think Government should be doing when looking at our future. At least it isn't burying our head in the sand.
I should have looked into this more before posting. DOE already has a materials lab there.
I considered the strategic interests of REM to the US and I suppose that warrants the investment. I just wonder how much of the 120M will go to infrastructure and applied and basic research versus reports to sit on government book shelves to collect dust for centuries.
As to whether the "best minds" are there: I seriously doubt it. Why would they be? Right now industry is responding to free market forces by ramping up ex-China rare earth production. Big money is about to be made by whomever can come up with the appropriate processing and separation techniques for the mineralogy they are tasked with. The best minds go with the best money (they're not stupid).
As to whether government should be involved: I seriously doubt that they will accomplish anything of any value in this field. They will be spending most of their time and our money on their cronies and on their re-election campaigns. Nobody can spend money like government. IMO, it's another 120 million dollars WASTED.
Have to absolutely disagree. I'm not saying government is ultra efficient. In fact since there is no profit motive attached I would think it is designed not to be efficient. In fact many government programs are not designed to be efficient but rather to solve a problem that can't be approached economically.
Unfortunately, I don't think you and I will be in the same position when we're 90, or for that matter 75. The government programs worked well for our parents when we boomers were contributors, but the future doesn't look very bright because there are so darned many of us. I've personally abandoned any hope of a comfortable retirement that I can't pay for with my own resources.
You mean it's a Ponzi scheme with a twist called a printing press? If we could just get our resources to support huge population growth forever it would all work out.
metroneanderthal, contributorWhenever I start reviewing for teaching economic development, I am always reminded how lucky we are compared to the bottom billion for whom the round went off before it was even in the chamber. About 22 percent of the world living on less than $1.25 per day and some 2.5 billion living with income below $2 per day. Incredible.
I've seen enough of the world to understand how incredibly blessed I am to have been born where I was and when I was. I don't like the conclusion, but I believe life will be much tougher for my grandkids because our last industrial revolution gave the world's poor cell phones and they're no longer ignorant. Instead they're working hard to earn a bigger piece of an economic pie that will have a hard time growing as fast as the global population.
Metro, you can have the damp raggie for shear effort.
siliconhillbilly, contributor
Metro... I found some more vids by Hans and now published a blog with all of them so you can find them whenever the damp rag needs a wash http://bit.ly/13WRCDl
I did some rough math to compare my dad's income vs. mine, based upon the price of my childhood home. The difference is stark. My dad paid 3.5x his income. I'm a bit younger than when he bought the house, so assuming a salary 25% higher than mine, the house is now 5x my generation's income (we are in the same profession). That means my father, a few years older than I am now, was earning 50% more than my projected income by house value, and nearly double what I am making now. In addition to salary, he got to enjoy some of the greatest stock market years, whereas I entered the workforce in this whackjob market (I finished an MS degree in 2008).
Ranma: IIRC, from what I've read average income levels in terms of real purchasing power are now pre-1990 levels.
Obama's Aunt....watch this! For the other side of the story.
Thank you both for the advice, though right now it does not feel like it. One thing I feel fortunate about is that at least I was aware enough to try something, and be in the position to try. I lost years of savings but have no debt. I have technical skills that can start low investment ventures. I still draw a good salary compared to some of my peers. I hope one day to join the class that captures most of the value, through investment and business, but wonder what will happen to those who cannot. Perhaps it will be like Asian countries, where labor is cheap, people are ultra-competitive, and mortgages generational.
HTL - re. exec pay, I'm for 20x the lowest paid guy on the payroll. Plus no perks nor bonus etc. The exec is only a level or two above where all the other employees remain on salary curves and at most, the top execs are just simple managers with no super exceptional talent and therefore should be only a few 20% jumps above the fixed salary curve folks. In many cases (except for super entrepreneurial sorts such as Jobs, Gates, Ford, Westinghouse, etc., and many in the private sector, which are not just mere mortal mangers that eventually got promoted and passed over their equals that went elsewhere) the folks on the salary curves are quite capable of running the whole show, as mere managers, and would do it for <60% more.
HTL, average income/average real income data need to be read with caution. Not saying the trend you've pointed to is incorrect/not there, but the income numbers are incomplete. For example, generally neither employee benefits nor increased publicly funded services ( ;-) some do have positive value while others don't) are factored in. Employer contributions to employee medical insurance, 401(k), etc. plans are cases in point.
"We live in a failed system. Capitalism does not permit an even flow of economic resources. With this system, a small privileged few are rich beyond conscience, and almost all others are doomed to be poor at some level. That's the way the system works. And since we know that the system will not change the rules, we are going to have to change the system." MLK
D-Inv: Since I come from a "defined benefits" era and had almost 100% of health care costs covered by the company, I suspect that factoring in the things you mention would be unlikely to change the results.
Free market capitalism (the only system powered by freedom of choice) has nothing to do with the problem you describe. I'd rather be poor in a society where I could become rich than live in a society that guaranteed only the ruling class would. We must limit the governments' ruling class cronyism supported by their self-indulgent unlimited power to tax and spend and borrow or print the people's money. Only then will we take the limits off the people taking care of their business and their neighbors. EM
Actually, I think I agree with you, Edmund.
Thanks for the reference, HTL. Interesting read, but somewhat tangential since changes in wage share of GDP depends on employment/unemployment rates as well as wage rates.
High rates of growth of average hourly earnings (AHE) (wage inflation) would lead to higher inflation if the wage growth is above productivity growth. A related measure of wage cost growth closely watched by the Fed is the Employment Cost Index (ECI). Compared to the ECI that is published only quarterly, the strenght of the average hourly earnings measure it that is published monthly and is an early indicator of wage growth in the previous month. However, compared to the ECI, AHE has several weaknesses. First, the ECI is abroader measure of labor costs as it includes wages and salaries as well as benefits costs (fringe benefits such as medical benefits). Second, the ECI corrects for the composition of the labor force: average hourly earnings may increase bacause more workers are employed in better skills jobs that pay higher high hourly wages rather than beacuse the same jobs pay higher hourly wage. The first effect due to a change in the distribution of labor across different jobs is not inflationary; however, kit leads to an increase in the AHE but not of the ECI. Third, unlike the ECI, AHE increase also due to transitory increases in wage costs that are not causes of permanent higher wage costs; for example, increased use of transitory overtime that is usually paid with higher hourly wages leads to an increase in AHE but not of the ECI.
Actually, everyone needs a good and working conscience. Since that is not going to happen, someone has to rein in the abusers. Now, we all know the abusers will not rein in the abusers - so who's left??? The foxes are in the "fox" house and the real productive chicken's are elsewhere.
Youse guys need to get off the "average" wage and start using the "lowest" wage on the payroll. That will either solve the lower end problem or the upper end problem.
A general observation by Inside EVs
The main story of the 2013 NAIAS was of course, the new 2014 Corvette C7 Stingray. While somewhere, way (way, way) down the list was the debut of the new 2013 Nissan LEAF; which if we are being honest, to the casual car aficionado looks and feels pretty much the same as the 2012 model.
However, to those of us closely following cars with plugs, what was important about the new LEAF wasn't really the car, it was the price.
Now starting at $28,800 for the entry level S model ($6,400 cheaper than the 2012 SV), this new price point gives pure electric vehicles a second crack at the market after a fairly dismal 2012."
And although the assembly facility can produce other vehicles to pick up the slack, Nissan's massive $1.7 billion dollar battery plant can't exactly start building Nissan Rogues and Infiniti Q50s to offset lower than expected demand lithium battery demand.
What to do? Build batteries and related components for other hybrids and EVs.
Additionally, Mr. Palmer confirmed US-based production of the Infiniti LE for the first time, by adding that batteries will also be build for that project at the Tennessee plant. It is worth noting, that at the debut of the plant, a good bulk of the plant was off limits/"no access" to the media, which could mean the ramp up to production of Nissan's 2nd generation of lithium packs are already underway.>
A top 12 list.
At the top of the ACEEE's chart is the Toyota Prius c with a "Green" score of 58. The Honda Fit EV placed second and the Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid landed in fourth. The entire Prius line placed in eleventh or above.
Interestingly while there are EVs and PHEVs neither the Leaf nor the Volt made the list.
As mentioned neither did the Honda Civic cng.
As a Ford guy, I'm glad to see a couple of their vehicles made the list. I have personally driven the Fusion Hybrid - very nice ride - how nice? Well, I knew I was going fast on a trip from Yosemite to San Francisco (very few people on the road) as I often drive 85-90 mph on my Interstate commute (and I'm not alone), but then I hit a "whoopedy-do" in the road and "Holy Crap - Did I just catch air?!?!" - I looked down at the guage and I was doing 115 and slowing down! Like I said, smooth ride, super-stable. Big fan of their new grill, too.
Edmund M---wow, that brings back old memories. For one summer long ago I was commuting between SF and the Yosemite area, as I was working as a financial consultant on PG&E's Helms pumped hydro project at Lake Wishon/Courtright. Back then the rental cars' speedos only went to 85mph, so we'd see how far we could get them to bounce the other way. CHP donated the $ they would have spent on radar guns to some cause, so they had to tail you a long time to legally give you a ticket. With the road all but desserted, it was no problemo avoiding that. Never got air, though, thank goodness!
I recall passing just such an installation towards the end and on a climb - don't recall any signs, but from the road I had multiple views of a hydro project.
With more electrode lines but no other plant upgrades Axion could probably make PbC batteries for a couple hundred locomotives a year. If you assume a 24,000 unit fleet and a 12 year rebuild cycle, Axion's capacity would probably be adequate to support a 10% market penetration in the retrofit market. After that, either a partner or a new battery plant would be needed. On balance I think the limiting factor will probably be the railroad industry's ability to do locomotive retrofits.
Push back time at BA.
This is about the first fire.
<But the electrical system's complexity has been a particular stumbling block for the plane model in the past. And with the whole plane being essentially a flying network (the plane's avionics are wired together with a derivative of 100 megabit Ethernet to reduce the amount of wiring and corresponding weight) and the controls entirely dependent on electrical power, any problem with electrical systems can become a disaster.
Where there's smoke
Six hours into a test flight in November of 2010, in the skies over Texas just after 2:30 in the afternoon Central Time, the pilot of a Boeing 787 Dreamliner Number 2 declared an emergency. There was smoke in the cabin, and the airplane's "glass cockpit"—its computerized displays and controls—had partially failed, its primary flight displays and automatic throttle controls gone.
As he touched down at Laredo International Airport and brought the plane to a halt, the crew and passengers—Boeing company execs and technicians monitoring flight data—evacuated the plane, jumping down the emergency slides. The cause of the emergency was an electrical fire that took out the aircraft's primary and auxiliary power units. The Dreamliner would have become a nightmare without the emergency power source—a Ram Air Turbine, which dropped down from the fuselage to convert airflow past the plane into power for essential controls. The incident led to further delays for the Dreamliner, as Boeing went back to redesign the entire electrical distribution system of the aircraft. But the redesign didn't eliminate the hazard of the batteries themselves.>
Just a question is a Ram Air Turbine on regular jets just in case and would there still be one on the Dreamliner?

That's a good link (it always helps me to have illustrations:)
Milhouse, I would expect to see both strings in series for higher voltages as well as parallel sets of strings for higher current draw. My guess is that if the buss is stiff enough (large enough) the voltage drop string to string would be minimal and thus the strings would be forced to balance.
I'm of the opinion that this is why the solar industry has been going with the large 2 VDC single cell battery packs for their installations. This allows them the ability to equalize the individual cells since they do not self equalize like the PbC battery. Costs more but I bet it helps the life. Wish I could find some documentation on how much it helps in the case of LABs to do this.
Interesting phenomenon...or just my perception.
mag, I perceive that we've had an increase of posts the last few weeks that have provided a good opportunity to address new concerns and objections while also re-addressing old ones. For retail audiences especially, it really, really helps to hit all those again and again.
I spent a bit of time over on Cars.com looking at the used Leafs
Of the 200 under 50 have at least 10,000 mi on them. 9 of those have 20,000 mi or more, on them. None has 30,000 miles.
6-7,000 mi average?
Using 33.3 mpg 3 gal to 100 mi. 30 for a 1000 mi 300 for 10,000 mi.
Over150 of 200 people 3/4 drove under 10,000 mi in about 2 years.
$4 a gal x 300 = $1,200 saved. Miscellaneous not sure they would have gotten an oil change in 10,000 mi, Air filter? etc. say $1,500.
These people payed $10,000 $15,000 extra up front and lost a ton on these cars.
<So our 20-month-old Leaf has lost almost 60 percent of what we paid for it, which no amount of savings on fuel and maintenance can make up for.>
Random review
53,172 total Plug in cars sold in 2012 VS 17,821 in 2011.
Auto makers predicted 100,000
Volt and Leaf were both at 50% of predictions.
Good guess IMO
The poll was don by ford but didn't ask how much more the would spend. (It also says they will think about fuel economy in their next car purchase)
" In 2012, France accounted for 35 percent of electric vehicles sales (passenger vehicle segment) in Europe. That percentage puts France above Norway (15 percent) and Germany (13 percent)."
As of June 5,446 total vehicles sold
3,651 units for light-commercial vehicles.
Those year-end results represent an increase of 115 percent and 117 percent, respectively, compared to the posted figures for 2011.
9,314 at EOY (5,663 + 3,651 = 9,314)
5,446 total sales as of the end of June.
3,868 in the last 6 months of the year
A shallow pond getting filled in in France?
It is important to remember that the driving forces of EV and Hybrid cars were as follows:
1) Balance of trade payments for foreign oil
2) Wars in the middle east
3) Price of oil dictated by middle east
4) Rising gas prices to $4+
1) low natural gas prices making oil cheaper
2) news that US will be an oil exporter in less than 10 years
3) better mpg on ICE vehicles
"The green in my wallet is what is most important." Actually that is a bad paraphrase of JP's comments but the quote marks look great.
Sorry that got Jumbled
France specific numbers
As of June 5,446 total EVs sold
"As of the EOY 2012"
5,663 units in the passenger vehicles
3,651 units for light-commercial vehicles.
Better Place is alive, but not well
So why even bother with electric cars? One reason is that electric motors are dramatically more efficient than internal combustion engines, with fewer moving parts, and that fuel costs are much lower, depending on the price of gasoline and electricity. In Israel and Denmark, where Better Place is also rolling out its infrastructure, the per-mile operating cost is as much as 80% less than the per-mile cost of an equivalent internal-combustion car. Electric cars also have lower emissions than gasoline-powered cars, and the emissions are much lower if some or all of the electricity comes from low-carbon nuclear, wind or solar power.
metroneanderthal, contributorArticle from 2009 about French government spending and mandates regarding EV's. Awful expensive per car.
http://bit.ly/V2oeoz discusses an CBO study estimating cost of U.S. electric vehicle manufacture/purchase subsidies as $7.5 billion with negligible (if any) benefit.
The power stored in the chemistry of the batteries of an electric car is put there by processes which are no more efficient and no less polluting than a well-tuned internal combustion engine. To then multiply that by the further inefficiency of converting chemical energy to electric power is counter-productive, even if you could store it in 100% recyclable PbC batteries.
Daytime solar charging, night time wind charging, nuclear power charging, geothermal charging. There are ways right now that allow EV's to travel with little to no emissions, far better than any ICE or hybrid, if we choose to pursue them. Electric drive is inevitable at this point, we just need to push for cleaner power sources. The dirty age of fossil fuels will end, sooner better than later.
May be it is time to skip all these and go right to commercialize the micro nuclear reactor as used on the deep-space launch vehicles. Technology is readily available only thing left is for somebody to finance the development work of replacing Uranium with Thorium. This will expedite the termination of fossil fuels in all ICE vehicles. Scaling up will allow localize energy generation of all major developments and military bases allowing them to dislodge from local grid, easier disposal of radioactive waste, et, etc.... This will definitely provide a clean environment for generations and generations.
siliconhillbilly, contributorIshikawa: Discussing "mini" reactors and burning Thorium in the same paragraph isn't science, just wishful thinking.
MANY thanks SiHiBi.... The boundless endless promise of thorium seems fast becoming the newest white-knight unicorn-riding savior of many an ardent envirothusiast's wishes... and who knows, maybe perhaps someday it will all come true... but in the meanwhile, I like to apply the classic Alex P. Keaton assessment, which applies so well to so much:
Ishikawa, humble apologies for the snark... it was not directed personally to you, a person of abundant goodwill. It's just that a lot of the same kind of folks who've been wailing for years over "who killed the electric car?" now seem to be seizing on thorium as the new cool "big answer", which of course everybody knows *had* to have been killed long ago in its crib by the eevil team of big oil and USG. ;)
Liquid fluoride thorium reactors seems to be a suitable solution.
Latest Dreamliner news:
The flaring problem arises from the quirky nature of oil and gas law and an inadequate gas pipeline system.

Me too. Tis not by chance.
IIRC a battery system for mild hybrids was the reason for the joint application Axion and GM filed with the DOE in early 2011. I specifically remember statements in the application that Axion and GM had retrofitted a LaCrosse and were putting it through its paces on the test track.
AABC conference Feb 4-8 in Pasadena, CA. Couple sessions on 48V architecture (one from Audi, one from JCI).
Even just reading the abstracts for all the sub-topics is pretty interesting and seems to offer clues as to where industry is or wants to be headed.. looks to me like a lot of backing off of BEV and a lot more development focus in the micro hybrid to HEV space.. All very li-ion focused though...
Looks like an echo chamber.

I have to believe that given KMI's debt position and need to raise capital, SO is probably buying this for a good price. They can sell stock at all-time high and buy good-quality assets from a motivated seller, makes all the sense in the world.
Should open up the stock to all sorts of funds and institutional investors that want/need to own dividend-paying stocks. At current low price, should put a floor under it.
the way it works in the USA is that WMB needs to prove that they WERE lying, not the other way around. The unfortunate fact seems to be that there is no actual *evidence* to that effect or it would have come out by now.
You're basically agreeing with me... WMB is the one suing ETE, not the other way around, it just makes it that much more easy for ETE to counter with the argument that WMB -- in contrast to their public statements -- wasn't fully committed to the merger either.
Otherwise, of course this is positive for WMB, today's drop is certainly a buying opportunity, I would have thought it would gap up on news like this. Be very interesting to see who they nominate to fill out the board and what actions they take both before and after that.
On the other hand, it doesn't bode well for their damages lawsuit against ETE... it exposes the fact that all WMB's announcements "unanimously" supporting the merger were complete fabrications -- makes it very easy for ETE to argue that the "bad faith" went both ways and for a judge to simply dismiss the whole thing, now that the deal has been cancelled anyway.
Bloomberg also aired an interview with CEO of Southern Co same day... he said directly that SO was interested in buying a major nat gas pipeline now that AGL deal is in the books. Have to like that... with SO stock at all-time high, an aggressive CEO who does lots of deals, complementary geographic footprint, and WMB lets them do a deal at the GP level, that would be an easy deal to close. Especially if WMB cuts div in half and stock drops into teens. SO could offer $30/shr in stock which would give each WMB shareholder $1.30 in div, would have to think WMB board would take a good long look at that if stock was $18 paying out a $1 div?
Hi, have to disagree about inflation... inflation is a monetary phenomenon, not a pricing one -- we just tend to associate it with prices of everyday goods, but as you imply, other inputs like supply/demand/cost of production influence consumer prices. Govts are creating lots of money which will show up *somewhere* and where it is showing up is, precisely, prices of financial assets.
"Whatever WMB yield is going forward, it will be far, far better than fixed income ... even better if there is growth to be added to the principle" Well, no... the dividend is about to be cut, and the price has dropped by 2/3 in last year or two, so comparing WMB to a 10-yr Treasury is kind of misplaced. It might ultimately do better or it might not, but it has nothing to do with "hunt for yield."
"banks will never be good investments " As a counterpoint, I just bought some more Wells Fargo for $45/share. You will rarely go wrong owning the best bank in town, especially buying it near a 52-week low. In this supposedly terrible market for banks, they're earning 12.5% ROE, which you can buy for, what, 1.3X book? so you get about 9% return on your investment. If market/profitability improve, it's upside from there. Favorable risk-adjusted return to most MLPs, IMO.
They clearly stated yesterday that the 0.5 cent increase in April was part of LAST YEAR's plan. This year's plan included a 55-75% payout target that obviously the Fed was OK with, which leaves a ton of room to increase dividend. I assume the BOD will discuss how much buy backs vs div, the fact that no specific div was announced yesterday means nothing, but I'm sure we'll get a 5-7% increase. A 5% increase to $0.40 qtr boosts the yield to 3.6% is an attractive buying op at current depressed share price.
The 721-Latham clause was clearly written in the contract and WMB agreed to it. All Warren did was use a perfectly legal loophole to protect ETE shareholders. Was it aggressive? Sure, but that's his job.
It makes a lot of sense to offer such a plan to everyone, giving us the chance to forego cash distributions in exchange for common units at a discount. Would simply conserve a decent amount of cash for ETP's use without actually cutting the dividend. I'd sign up for it.
They already have a publicly traded MLP subsidiary, Dominion Midstream Partners. They could merge that into WPZ and be just like Duke / Specta and keep dropping down their other midstream assets.
No way that would pass anti-trust regulators... KMI's Tenneco pipeline overlaps Transco, no way regulators would let one company own both.
They already tried that... before they signed the deal with ETE, they shopped the company around and there were no takers. Maybe a PE firm might be interested in taking them out now that share price is ~$20 and take it public again in a couple of years if cash flow has improved and energy markets have recovered.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but even if WMB wins an appeal, if it comes after June 28 and the deal hasn't closed, ETE can't be forced to complete the deal. At that point, the only point of an appeal would be monetary damages. My impression is that the June 28 deadline is a hard deadline, if it doesn't close by then everything is off. (Unless there is some way they can get a Supreme Court to rule by June 28, which seems unlikely...)
I would think even if ETE lost an appeal, the monetary damages would be somewhere between the break-up fee specified in the merger agreement and the amount of "synergies" that WMB estimated in their latest statements.
WMB shareholders have no reason at all to sue ETE... their own board agreed to the deal, so any damages to WMB shareholders should go to them, especially if ETE wins this suit and no misconduct on their part is proved. No one forced WMB into this deal... I suspect they did it to mask their own cash flow difficulties (which was the point of the WPZ roll-up that preceded the ETE deal) which are now out in the open, but that has nothing to do with ETE, it has a lot more to do with overpaying for Access Midstream at the top of the market.
Although I hope the convertible deal *does* get canceled...
I assume the problem isn't Hanjin per se -- which is a small customer -- but the possibility that it is just the canary in the coal mine. What happens if a larger customer has similar distress OR if SSW reworks Hanjin's lease, wants *their* terms renegotiated also? I'm sure that accounts for the very strong tone of Wang's public comments on Hanjin.All of their customers are competitors of each other and they're all in some degree of pain in this market, so I can't imagine any of them will be pleased if one of them gets their deal reworked on better terms.
If the market thinks the deal will go through, WMB isn't going to rise -- ETE stock will collapse to $10 or below, that is how the large current premium will resolve itself. I hesitate to predict how low ETC stock will go once people start dumping it after the deal closes. I'm sure plenty of WMB folks will be selling their shares at a discount to prevent larger losses when ETC starts trading.
Nope, it's all the common units. See pg 25, where WMB discusses its impact on the merger:
"The WMB board has reviewed ETE's statement that it does not expect to make any cash distributions with respect to its common units following the close of the merger... The WMB board notes that a lack of distributions on ETE common units will lead to a lack of distributions on ETE Class E units, and therefore, on ETC common shares."
This is copied-and-pasted directly from page 23:
" However, ETE no longer expects to pay cash distributions with respect to its common units following the closing of the merger until the quarter ending March 31, 2018"
This has also been discussed a million times in different forums, it's not exactly news.
I've owned it since 2008 -- thought I'd seen everything with this stock, but obviously, what did I know...

Marcos Maidana-Josesito Lopez Close For April 20
By Ernest Gabion
According to various sources it looks like the Riverside Rocky, Josesito Lopez (30-5, 18KOs), will return to action on April 20th against hard hitting Marcos "El Chino" Maidana (33-3, 30KOs). According to these sources while it is not 100% finalized all indications are that the fight is a go from both sides with the venue to be the Citizens Bank Arena in Ontario, Calif. Showtime will televise.
For Lopez this is a return to the welterweight division where he garnered the name Riverside Rocky by upsetting Victor Ortiz. In his last fight, Lopez made the move to the 154lb division where he was stopped by current WBC title holder Saul "Canelo" Alvarez.
Maidana returns to U.S. soil after a 3rd round stoppage of Angel Martinez in Argentina, December of 2012. His last US fight was on the undercard of Lopez-Alvarez where he stopped Jesus Soto-Karass in 8 rounds.
Great fight hope HBO or Showtime picks it up. Might be on the undercard of the next Khan fight.Comment by Suavecito80 on 02-20-2013

Hollywood's adoption of the new has been slow and rarely strategic. Nevertheless, entertainment has not only survived disruptive technologies, but also benefited.
The process used to gather information in making decisions can be as important as the decisions. Do you rely more on sophisticated analytics or intuition?
Imagine a management education learning environment where the student is fully engaged and where the instructor serves as a Play-by-Play-Man!
Analytics can, through the use of various Big Data-driven computer models, significantly enhance the decision-making process and, thus, hopefully performance.
While foolish for companies to spend money unwisely in managing human capital, growing research confirms that "high performance work systems" are worth the investment.
Crowdsourcing is one approach for meeting the challenges of the changing needs of the business community and the programs offered by the business management community.
Massive Online Open Courses (MOOCs) in management education are growing rapidly in response to exorbitant tuitions, tightening budgets, limited class availability, and globalization.
Business managers are encouraged to assess the value of social networking games for HR processes to enhance the organization's performance and value of workers.
In today's world of increasing complexity, unpredictability, and rapid pace there is more demand for innovation than corporations are currently able to meet.

[K-Drama] Love Rain / 사랑비
I'm watching this at the moment as it's being released on epdrama. Is anyone else watching this?
So far I'm really liking it (only 4 episodes aired so far) and really looking forward to the modern day episodes starting next week, the previews showing the character Seo Joon already made little me all excited :py01:
Ooo, the description sounds interesting. I just looked it up and SNSD's Yoona is in it, should be interesting. I'll give it a try after finals.
I've been meaning to watch since Yoona's in this but haven't gotten a chance yet :<
The first couple of episodes didn't really do much for me in terms of Yoona's performance, but thats purely because her character doesn't do/say much at all until episode 4 (in my opinion). But Jang Geun-suk... ohhh lala :3

So much for the hope that this week's conference of rabbis and imams would provide a platform for Muslim leaders to speak out on the fact that the thread that connects the attack on Israelis in Bulgaria, the shootings in Toulouse, and the plot to blow up Jews in Manchester - not to mention much of the everyday abuse on the streets of Europe's cities - is that the perpetrators have all been Muslim.
There were trite words aplenty. But the imams and other Muslim leaders remained in denial. The utility of interfaith conferences is, one has to say, limited.

"Taste of the Old West," a two-day trail ride to benefit Family Support Services will be Friday and Saturday at the Figure 3 Ranch on the rim of Palo Duro Canyon.
The event, co-sponsored by Family Support Services of Amarillo and Cowboy Morning, will help fund services to families and children provided by FSS.
Meals will be served by the cooking team of Cowboy Morning, which has operated one of the Panhandle's best-known visitor attractions since 1981.
"We have found a way to combine a great adventure with a great cause," said Roy Bowen, executive director of Family Support Services, in a news release. "Riders can expect challenging trails, the incredible scenic beauty of Palo Duro Canyon, and mouth-watering meals cooked by the Cowboy Morning team."
Trails will be offered for riders at all skill levels. The cost is $250 per rider if the rider provides his or her own horse. If Cowboy Morning provides a horse, the cost is an additional $200. Experienced trail guides will lead the riders, Bowen said. The cost includes dinner Friday and breakfast and lunch Saturday.

Fix our schools
Buddy Program At St.Lorenz/Frankenmuth,MI
This beautiful school located in Historic Frankenmuth,MI has so much to offer children. All my Sister's kids have went there as well as my own. I think the "Buddy Program" is one of the best. This program has the older student mentor the younger students.
Buddy Program helps develop relationships between older and younger students. Along with this it also teaches children on the Bible, something that i believe is missing in the lives of our children. It is a Lutheran Church & School.
St. Lorenz is a nationally accredited school.
