Donation boxes can be a source of significant income and also reinforce the charitable nature of a museum. Development Partners has written the first in a series of 'Quick Guides' published by the Association of Independent Museums on the subject of Donation Boxes.
Improving turnover and containing costs in economically challenging times is a major challenge for all museums. To address this, the Association of Independent Museums ran a series of 'Sustainability Workshops' across the country led by Development Partners.

Slide to see the images
Ranger is a 4-year-old, 10 pound Pomeranian mix. Ranger prances around social gatherings with happy feet, meet-and-greeting with dogs and people. He's such a great little dog! He'd definitely be a "go anywhere" buddy for someone who wants to sit on a patio with their pup or take him to the beach. It doesn't hurt that he's totally adorable. Ranger has plenty of fun energy and will be an perky addition to his adopter's pack. This guy's tail is always wagging, or he's happily curled up in your lap taking a nap.
Ranger came to us from Salinas Animal Services after being picked up as a stray. He had a microchip and his people were contacted, but they said they had given him away. We know he deserves a happy life and we're happy help him find his forever home!

Let's Talk About Race
The Path to the Dark Side is Fear
So much fear and worry. I see it's mark all over the church of today. Fear of what might happen if we love unconditionally, lay down our arms, and embrace people that are different than us. Fear that names itself as a boundary or righteousness. Fear that our loved ones won't make it into the good version of eternity if they have different views than us.There are so many instances, in both the Old and New Testaments, where we are told not to fear. We are invited to step out onto the water, we … [Read more...]

Comments about Dr. Bronner's Magic Bar Organic Citrus Orange Soap:
Dr. Bronners soaps are excellent. Made from only the safest all natural ingredients. Very easy on my sensitive skin. If you're looking for the best natural soap this is it, I've tried and analyzed them all!!
Comments about Dr. Bronner's Magic Bar Organic Citrus Orange Soap:
I am new to the all natural products. I heard such great things about Dr. Bronners I had to give them a shot. Well you know what I love this soap. I even sometimes love to read the crazy writing all over the bottles and wrappers. I love the fact that even the paper the soap is wrapped in can be recycled. The other soap I use to buy was wrapped in plastic and I hated having to throw that away. Yes I am a little crazy! LOL This soap has a geat natural smell to it. I have also tried the baby soap (liquid, for my hair), peppermint soap (liquid for hands), and the almond (liquid). Oh I did buy the tea tree bar for my husband to help out with break outs but he always forgets to use it so I am not sure if it really helps breakouts or not. The peppermint soap make all your body tingle, while some people may like that I did not. You should try this soap I think you will like it. Oh, the almond was my favorite scent.
Comments about Dr. Bronner's Magic Bar Organic Citrus Orange Soap:
We love all of Dr. Bronner's products including the bar soaps, the citrus bar soap is our favorite scent to use. This and the rose kind are the only soaps we use if we can help it. We love that they are 100% (or very close to) organic with all natural ingredients and fragrances. The citrus smell is lovely and strong, kind of flowery and fruity but not too feminine for my husband, but not overpowering and it does not leave a strong fragrance after rinsing it off.
While these bars cost a bit more than say a Dove bar they are so much better for you, and the planet and a little does go a very long way. One bar can last our household a couple of months and it is good until the very last slither. This bar soap lathers and cleans very well and rinses off easily and completely; it does not leave any residue or build up behind or irritate or inflame sensitive or acne prone skin which is very important to us.

So comfortable
This is my second pair of Keen's. First pair wore out after 2 years of everyday use. These are extremely comfortable. If you're not sure if you should buy these, just do it, you won't regret it.
Best shoes ever
I wear these every day. They're the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. Worth every penny.
Like them so far
Walk mowing. Steel toe not tight like others I have worn. Pull up laces are handy although I wonder how long they will last. So far so good.
I should have purchased two pair!
The best pair of steel toe shoes I have ever owned.
.customer 4 life
As long as they keep making these I will keep buying them. This is Mr second pair. The first I was able to get a full year of use out of. That is a first for me. I generally go though work shoes at a pace of 1 every 3 months, good quality red wings lasted 6. For the price comfort and durability I highly doubt I will find a better pair of shoes.

Herb Rubbed Turkey
Total Time
Prep 0 mins
Cook 0 mins
Oh Sooo Goood!! i found this recipe in the Oct/Nov 1996 issue of Taste of Home and this is now the only way I bake my turkey. The seasonings give the turkey such a wonderful flavor and the skin is nice and brown. It's well worth trying. Prep time is short but cooking time depends on the method you use to bake your turkey). Serving amounts are also estimated since that will depend on the size of turkey you cook.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 tablespoons rubbed sage
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 2 -3 teaspoons pepper
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons celery seeds
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1⁄2 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 3 bay leaves, crumbled
- 1 turkey, thawed
- In a small bowl, combine all of the seasonings; mix well.
- Rinse turkey well and pat dry with paper towels.
- Rub 1/2 of the seasoning mixture into the cavity of the turkey then rub remaining seasonings over the turkey skin.
- Tie the drumsticks together and place turkey in roasting pan.
- Roast turkey using your favorite cooking method and cook until inserted meat thermometer registers 185 degrees.
- (I slow bake my turkey at about 325 degrees 7-8 hours, basting occasionally with melted butter).
Most Helpful
Wonderful on Chicken too. Didn't add the sage or curry because there wasn't any available in the house. My husband ate so much that I was afraid there wouldn't be any leftovers.
Best turkey ever - time and tiem again....this is the ONLY recipe we use for a perfect turkey everytime! I baste every half hour and tent turkey with foil until the last hour of cooking.

I am still in San Francisco and in a decidedly reflective mood. This happens a lot when I am exploring places. I people watch and nature watch and Lisa watch. I am more observant and this makes me think about where I am headed and where I want to go.
I wonder what 2006 will bring? Or better yet, I wonder what I will bring to 2006. I have mentioned before that I am interested in chaos theory and quantum mechanics including fractals. So I know (believe) that many, many things are possible and that trying to define the exact outcome is a waste of time (although having a goal or a target is important). Many, many outcomes are possible as I sit here in the my hotel room on December 12, 2005. I know that next January, February, March, April, and so on can look and feel many ways.
The $64,000 question (that's 1.8 million adjusted for inflation) is always, "What can I do that will lead to a great outcome?" Not THE great outcome, because there are many possible great outcomes. I seek a great outcome.
Think of a heat seeking missile. As it shoots out of its bay, it begins heading toward a target. Many times a second, it sends messages with its location to determine if it is on track. The missile hits the target only because it makes 100s of adjustments. It is actually off course many, many times.
If we think about our goals like a missile's target we just need to be flexible in how things might actually turn out. Human progress is much less precise and more exciting and interesting. But like the missile, we need to send out constant messages to determine if we are on target and we need to make many little adjustments (and maybe a few big ones).
I know that I can manifest many 2006s. It can be mind boggling to think about and accept responsibility for. That's why I like working with breakthrough technology. The more I learn about it, the more interesting and intricate it gets – in a familiar way. Like a philosophical fractal.

Celebrity Homes: Tyler Perry's Mansion Sold for $17.5M
Here's a look at Tyler Perry's mansion that was recently sold for $17.5 million.
According to Atlanta Business Chronicle, the writer/actor/director's mansion in Atlanta just became the most expensive real estate property in the history of Atlanta. The second most expensive mansion in the same area sold at $10.5 million back in 2009.
Meanwhile, Perry's house first hit the market in June of last year. So many people from across the world eyed the property because of its wonderful features and amenities. Some of its features include a spa, home theater, an infinity pool, lighted tennis court and so much more.
As of late, it is still unclear where Perry plans to move or where his new house would be. What is only known is that he's sold his former property at a price that is quite impressive.
According to Variety, Perry's mansion was previously asking for $25 million. However, it became a tad bit difficult for some people to purchase it at that amount. So the director's agent decided to cut down a huge chunk for the final asking price. True enough, the mansion sold out very fast and now the rightful owner, whose name is being kept under wraps, is ready to move into it.
Some of the other features of the home include seven bedrooms that sprawls across a total of 1,000 acres.
The same publication added that Perry still has multiple properties up his sleeves because he also owns several other houses and more.
Now that you have some information about Perry's newly sold house, hopefully you were inspired to either have your home built similarly to his. It's also possible that you're more motivated now to sell your own property in preparation for the next one that you want to purchase.

Creative has been updating a lot of it's lines of MP3 players lately with the Zen X-Fi and the Zen Krystal. This time it's the Zen V line that's getting an update with the new cheap medium sized Zen Mozaic.
While the Krystal and X-Fi both look very stylish, I must say I'm a bit puzzled about the looks of the Mozaic. The player is available in three basic colors; black, silver and pink, but the front of the player has a rather peculiar pattern which in my opinion just looks weird. The player has gotten a 1.8″ TFT screen versus the 1.5″ OLED screen of the Zen V and combined with the button area with the 9 tactile buttons on it does make it noticeable bigger than the Zen V. The specs are pretty standard with video support on the 128×160 screen along with a radio and voice recorder. It also has a tiny speaker on the back, something that Creative seem to be putting into more and more players. Battery life is rated at 32 hours for audio. Only the 2GB ($99) and 4GB ($129) versions will launch now, but 8GB ($169) and 16GB ($249) version will be available later in August. Update: hit the jump for a video

ROBERT IDAHOSA, PLAINTIFF,v.GOVERNOR BLAGOJEVICH, ET AL., DEFENDANTS.
On February 7, 2006, a Report & Recommendation was filed by Magistrate Judge Byron G. Cudmore in the above captioned case. Plaintiff's objections were due on or before February 21, 2006, and on that day, Plaintiff sought and was granted an extension allowing his objections to be filed by the close of business on February 24, 2006. No objections were received by this deadline. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b); Lockert v. Faulkner, 843 F.2d 1015 (7th Cir. 1988); and Video Views, Inc. v. Studio 21, Ltd., 797 F.2d 538, 539 (7th Cir. 1986). As the parties failed to present timely objections, any such objections have been waived. Id.
The relevant procedural history is sufficiently set forth in the comprehensive Report & Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge. Suffice it to say that Plaintiff has brought suit under Title VII alleging that he was the victim of race and gender discrimination during the course of his employment with the Illinois Air National Guard and seeking back pay, reinstatement, and money damages. Defendants Balgojevich, the Illinois Air National Guard, the State of Illinois, the 182nd Air Lift Wing, Sherri Haley, Sandy Cain, and James Shuda have now moved to dismiss the Complaint pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6) for failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted, and the Magistrate Judge has issued a Report & Recommendation.
The Court concurs with the recommendation that Plaintiff's Title VII claims are non-justiciable based on the well-settled law establishing that Title VII does not apply to uniformed members of the military, such as Plaintiff. See Bartley v. U.S. Department of Army, 221 F.Supp.2d 934, 942-44 (C.D.Ill. 2002); Randall v. United States, 95 F.3d 339, 3343 (4th Cir. 1996); Spain v. Ball, 928 F.2d 61, 62-63 (2nd Cir. 1991); Taylor v. Jones, 653 F.2d 1193, 1200 (8th Cir. 1981). As no right to bring suit in federal court under Title VII flows from the Military Discrimination Complaint System, the Court finds as a matter of law that Plaintiff cannot maintain a claim under Title VII. The same result follows for the allegations in his Complaint that could be construed as civil rights violations under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1981 or 1983 or Bivens, as Congress has exercised its plenary authority over the military by establishing a comprehensive, internal justice system to regulate military affairs and has not provided for a civil remedy in federal court. Knutson v. Wisconsin Air National Guard, 995 F.2d 765, 770 (7th Cir. 1993); United States v. Stanley, 483 U.S. 669, 683 (1987); Chappell v. Wallace, 462 U.S. 296, 302 (1983). Finally, any claims brought pursuant to the Illinois Human Rights Act are within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Illinois Human Rights Commission and are not properly brought in this forum. As Plaintiff's Complaint presents no claims over which this Court could properly exercise jurisdiction, the Court agrees that relief is not possible in this forum under any set of facts that could be established consisted with the allegations in the Complaint.
In the interests of a complete record, the Court notes that Plaintiff did submit an untimely objection to the Report & Recommendation, which was received by the Court on February 27, 2006, and Motion for Leave to File an Amended Complaint. In his pleadings, Plaintiff argues summarily that he is entitled to review of Defendants' failure to investigate his complaints and the IDHR's failure to investigate his charges. However, he ignores the fact that his Complaint is set forth solely as a challenge seeking redress for discrimination in employment and does not promote the reasonable inference that he is seeking review under the Administrative Procedure Act ("APA") or redress for violation of Defendants' own internal procedures under even the most liberal reading, as noted by the Magistrate Judge. He makes no reference to internal regulations purportedly violated by Defendants that are either relevant or which do anything more than generally prohibit discrimination. Even in seeking leave to amend his complaint, Plaintiff only indicates a desire to "adequately style" his Complaint. He makes no reference to any good faith belief that he could allege facts that would support a claim under the APA or identify relevant and actionable internal regulations that were purportedly violated by Defendants. Simply re-titling his cause of action cannot magically transform the substance and essence of his claims, which clearly indicate nothing more than a claim of discrimination in employment.
Accordingly, the Court now adopts the Report & Recommendation [#37] of the Magistrate Judge in its entirety. This case is now DISMISSED for failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted, parties to bear their own costs. Defendants' Motion to Strike [#30] is DENIED, and Plaintiff's Motion for Default Judgment [#33] is also DENIED. Given the Court's conclusion that the claims actually asserted by Plaintiff are non-justiciable, combined with the fact that he has not articulated any factual basis or cited any pertinent and actionable internal regulations that would suggest that he could bring his claim as a challenge under the Administrative Procedure Act, no valid purpose could be served by allowing the Plaintiff to simply re-title his claim in an amended complaint. His Motion for Leave to File Amended Complaint [#42] is therefore DENIED.
ENTERED this 9th day of March, 2006.

Mikey Erg Tentative Decisions on LP
Mikey Erg has played on a lot of records. He has also toured extensively for the better part of two decades in literally countless bands. It's possible that not even Mikey himself could come close to listing them all. To start with, there is of course the band from which he gets his namesake: The Ergs!, New Brunswick, NJ basement's favorite sons, in which Mikey played drums, sang and was principle songwriter. Additionally, Mikey has played in, toured with and performed on records with Dirt Bike Annie, The Unlovables, The Dopamines, Star Fucking Hipsters, House Boat, Worriers, and even sat in with Weston at their recent reunion shows. Comedian and fellow Don Giovanni Records alum Chris Gethard pegged Mikey to play drums in the house band for his weirdo, fringe late night TV show, The Chris Gethard Show. Since the disbanding of the Ergs, Mikey has fostered a solo project that has kept him super busy performing Billy Bragg-style - just a mic and an electric guitar - all over the world.
Having played on numerous records, accompanying so many other artists on the drums, Tentative Decisions is the first true Mikey Erg solo effort. It's Mikey down to the nuts and bolts. It's also the first album of original material he's released since The Ergs Upstairs/Downstairs, nearly ten years ago. The familiar, second-generation Ramones worship is in tact, which will satisfy the diehard fans hoping against hope that Mikey will get the old band back together. But there are nuanced touches that make Tentative Decisions wholely unique in the canon of Mikey's prolific output. Moments that touch on almost Celtic and British folk influences in their melodic structure act to refine the blaring down-stroked power chords and driving mid-tempo pop punk drum patterns.
"Most of the songs were written in the latter half of last year," Mikey says. "It came together pretty quickly which I love. Everything about the record fell into place totally organically." The album was produced by Jeff Rosenstock who last year, produced albums by Laura Stevenson, The Smith Street Band, and Dan Andriano of The Alkaline Trio. For a musician with as many notches in his belt as Mikey Erg, it can be difficult to determine the impact of, and weigh the meaning behind each particular release. But Tentative Decisions is the closest thing you can get to an unaltered Mikey expression, maybe even moreso than some of the most celebrated albums he's released over the years.

A story of tragedy, heartache, revenge and redemption-that was Nathan Hunt's life, a young Newspaper Reporter robbed of all he held dear. His cherished wife Ruthie, late with child, and in-laws he loved, ruthlessly murdered in a retaliatory act against his probes into government corruption. Nathan blames himself for working too aggressively, and not protecting his family. He's young, and sure he's invincible, never taking into account the vulnerability of his loved ones. As he holds the body of his wife and unborn child in his lap, he swears revenge- unconditional revenge, however long, whatever the cost, he will never surrender to defeat. His only goal in life will be to pursue the murderer or murderers, and exact the price he deems just. The only clues are a man with a scar, and a suspect who disappeared at the time of the murders. Are they the same man? It will take Nathan three years to find out. Leaving a large inheritance and a life of ease, his pursuit will take him across the American continent from Philadelphia to San Diego. Alone in a one-horse buggy he follows what he believes is the trail of the suspects down the eastern seaboard. Then as the trail turns west, he moves from steamboat to steamboat, and town to town, but always a few weeks behind the pursued. His search halts when he learns a scar faced man and two others joined the last Wagon train out before winter over the Oregon Trail. Nathan arrives too late to follow, so he turns south to a warmer climate, and takes a job in West Texas on a cattle ranch. He hires on and agrees to stay through the spring roundup, but not for the pay. Rather he realizes that he grew up a city boy and there was more to surviving in the west than being well educated and rich. The lessons come fast at the Circle C, and he doesn't win every fight, but in the end, he wins the respect of all the other cowpunchers, as well as the ranch's owner, Mister Curry. He also meets Blacky Hazard at the ranch, and makes friends quickly. Blacky teaches him the ways of the west. Moreover, he teaches him how to handle his fists, a pair of six shooters, and more importantly, how to be the one that walks away when the dust settles. It is here, in Prickly Pear, Texas, that Nathan and Sylvester Wheeler meet under strange circumstances, and become the best of friends. Together they migrate to California, taking the most southern route. At the end of the trail stands San Diego, paradise found it seemed-but Nathans fate lies somewhere ahead in the unknown.

I enjoyed this tour because it gave interesting information about the major archeological buildings of ancient Corinth. The guide was very knowledgeable and the group was small (18 people).

We had a GREAT tour of ancient Corinth. Only thing I would have liked for us to do is to stop, get out of the bus and view the canal for better pictures of it. Our guide was very knowledgeable and did a wonderful job! Thanks, Viator!!
September 2016
The tour is just the right length and the guide was outstanding. The bus is very comfortable. Only suggestion is to have participants travel on their own to a central pickup/departure location, such as a hotel. Providing connecting bus service is a nice feature, but it just takes far too long to get started and back to your hotel - in our case, it probably added two hours to the overall time.

Another highly recommended tour from Viator for those interested in this historic and ancient city. The tour was well run by the service provider CHAT Tours whose tour office was the lobby of the Amalia Hotel where we stayed. The tour guide was were good and very informative about the Biblical connections and history of this ancient city cite. Well worth the coach trip from Athens.

Corinth was very interesting. The guide was very good. The trip was very good in a air conditioned coach and the organisation on the day was very good. The transfers were on time and the day went very smoothly.

Good, it was a really dumb idea. The next thing you know there would be random Stanford signs along the highways like Carnegie Mellon and Univ of Phoenix. You don't see Harvard or Yale doing this nonsense; they know the value of their institution and a perception of dilutive branch offices is to be avoided.

Outback Steakhouse Alice Springs Chicken
Total Time
Prep 26 mins
Cook 1 hr
The Alice Springs Chicken is a favorite of mine. It is a great way to dress up plain old chicken breasts.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 chicken breasts, 1/2-inch thick (maybe frozen, chicken breast, should be skinless and boneless)
- 6 pieces bacon, sliced in half and fried crisp
- 1⁄2 teaspoon McCormick's Season All
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms, drained (canned or in jar)
- 3 cups shredded colby or 3 cups monterey jack cheese
- parsley (to garnish)
Honey Mustard
- 1⁄2 cup prepared mustard
- 1⁄4 cup honey
- 1⁄4 cup light corn syrup
- 1⁄4 cup mayonnaise
- Rub chicken breast with Seasonal All and set aside to marinated for 1 hours While the breast is marinating fry bacon crisp and drain. Shred cheese and set aside.
- Gather all other items together and make ready for the preparation.
- Take chicken from marinate and sauté on medium heat in pan with just enough oil to prevent sticking. Cook on both sides until a slight golden color and cooked in the middle but not dry. Remove from pan.
- Spread chicken breast with honey mustard, cover with a layer of mushrooms, three slices of bacon and then sprinkle with shredded Colby/jack cheese, chicken should be covered with shredded cheese. Pop in heated oven at 350°F or a micro just until the cheese melts. Sprinkle with parsley and extra honey mustard may be served on the side.
- Honey Mustard: Blend all together until completely until smooth and free from lumps. The corn syrup may be adjusted depended on how sharp the mustard might be or to your taste.
Most Helpful
My whole family agrees....this will become a weekly dish!! I wanted to add a bit onto my review after "perfecting" it to my family's tastes. After frying the bacon, I pour out about half of the grease and then fry the chicken up in that. About 1/2 way through the cook time for the chicken I add the mushrooms in to saute them. This makes the whole dish SO MUCH more flavorful! This is a high-cal dish especially made this way so we reserve this for special occasions but it is always requested!
This was a great recipe. I left out the corn syrup and used 1/2 cup honey. I used 1/4 cup brown mustard and 1/4 cup yellow mustard. I used Miracle Whip instead of mayo which gave the chicken a little zing. I marinated the chicken breasts in half of the honey mustard mixture for four hours. Instead of searing the chicken on the stove I grilled the chicken and basted it with honey mustard. When it was almost done I finished it off in the oven with the bacon and cheese. It was a family winner!
This was an amazing recipe! I use the honey mustard sauce as a dip also because the family loved it so much. I also found that if you use bbq sauce instead of honey mustard and omit mushrooms you have Chilli's Monterey Chicken!! A great variation. Thank you! **btw..the mustard is supposed to be a bit soupy**

The rain forests of the world are vital for many reasons, not the least of which is that they affect climate systems around the planet and are home to a number of indigenous peoples. They are also the location of a huge variety of plant species, many of which are not found anywhere else, and some of which are poisonous.
Stinging Tree
A poisonous plants to be avoided is the stinging tree, Dendrocnide moroides, that is found in the rain forests of northeastern Australia, Indonesia and other island groups in the region. Growing in size from 3 feet to 4 feet, with large, heart-shaped leaves, the stinging tree is covered in fine hairs that can penetrate the skin and deliver a powerful toxin that can be fatal for humans and other creatures.
More commonly known by names such as "elephant ear," "heart of Jesus" and "angel wings," caladium is a member of the Araceae family of plants. Native to Brazil and neighboring areas in the Amazon rain forest, the entire plant is poisonous. Eating any part of it can cause serious illness, and even touching it may cause irritation to the skin. The two principal species are known as fancy-leaf and lance-leaf because of their color and shape.
Probably the best known of the Amazon rain forest's toxic plants is curare. It has long been used by the indigenous peoples as a poison into which arrows are dipped prior to being fired from blowpipes. It brings down prey by paralyzing victims after it has shut down the respiratory system. However, people of the Amazon basin also use it for medicinal purposes, particularly as an anesthetic, although it can kill as easily as it can cure.
Strychnos is the flowering plant from which the poison strychnine is derived. Native to tropical parts of Asia, there are a number of different species and it can also be found in southern Africa and South America. One of the most toxic varieties is Strychnos toxifera, a liana that can grow more than 30 feet long and produces bitter red fruit. A poison used by native people is made from the tree bark.

About This Book
After years of civil war, the stage is set for an explosive endgame: Obi-Wan undertakes a perilous mission to destroy the dreaded Separatist military leader General Grievous, while Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, eager to secure even greater control of the galaxy, turns public opinion against the Jedi. In the midst of it all, Anakin Skywalker — tormented by unspeakable visions — edges dangerously closer to the brink of a galaxy-shattering decision. It remains only for evil Darth Sidious to strike the final staggering blow against the Republic...and ordain a fearsome new Sith Lord: Darth Vader.
The first Star Wars movie was released in 1977, and since then the stories of life in a galaxy far, far away have continued to capture the imaginations of viewers — and readers. Each Star Wars novelization is full of action, details, and memorable characters — plus eight pages of color photos from the movie on which it is based.

Global fast food giant McDonald's (NYSE:MCD) once again posted weaker earnings numbers. Recent performance was highlighted by:
- Year-to-date March global comparable store sales numbers -1%,
- Flat Q1 2013 operating income
- Earnings Per Share (NYSEARCA:EPS) up 3% constant currency
- The US, Europe and "AMEA" (Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa) all showed negative comparable store sales numbers for the quarter as well.
- However, McDonald's gained share in many of its most important markets.
For the last few years McDonald's has been a growth powerhouse, with earnings growth often in the double digits. But it looks like this may have changed within the last eighteen months or so. A flat-to-declining Informal Eating Out (NYSEARCA:IEO) market has lowered all boats: fast food restaurants have seen pressure on the top line and McDonald's is not immune. Hence the consistent pressure on comparable sales numbers.
While management has set forth a plan and is executing very well, flat revenues appear here to stay and dividends will not be growing as much as they have in the past few years. With this in mind, McDonald's may not be the best place to put new money to work.
Growth Has Stopped In Developed Markets
Since Europe accounts for 40% of McDonald's revenue and operating profit, recent pressure on top and bottom lines should not be a surprise. The IEO market has not only come under pressure in recession-prone Europe but in the US as well. Only the UK and Russia have stood out with positive comparable numbers for the quarter.
Economic pressures are causing people to go out to eat less. In this new environment, McDonald's has decided that, in developed countries, gaining market share is the only way to win. Store reimaging and menu-optimization, especially in value-minded areas, have helped the company execute on this plan.
Unfortunately, this has resulted in declining margins. McDonald's traditionally has the highest margins of all the fast food operators, which is still true. However, the company has another focus in this environment. Executive Vice President Pete Bensen had this to say about margin decline:
As we've always talked that for us margins are much more of a top line gain. (...) And in this environment where you continue to have the cost pressures, so commodities will be up, labor rates are going up et cetera, and yet you have soft economics declining to flat eating-out markets, that battle for market share becomes so critical to the long-term health of the business that we're willing to sacrifice a little bit of margin to maintain that traffic and grow the market share.
There should be some growth from new restaurant openings in AMEA. This year, McDonald's will open 1500-1600 new restaurants and most of them should be in this region. This will provide some kind of long-term growth.
McDonald's is a stable company and will continue to be. However, the company's debt and debt ratios have been steadily rising as of late. And the new debt is not to fund things such as reimagings and new restaurant openings: Capital Expenditure ((capex)) is completely funded by cash flow. Like many major US companies today, it is the buyback program which is driving debt levels higher. When added to last year's dividend, McDonald's $2.6 billion buyback exceeded Free Cash Flow. Basically, McDonald's can fund all of its capex programs and pay its dividend from cash flow alone. Debt is being driven up by the stock buyback. This is a practice I believe the company needs to stop.
Unfortunately, dividend growth investors will be disappointed with McDonald's for the short and medium-term. The coverage ratio has steadily risen as McDonald's has raised dividends faster than earnings growth for the last few years and they are running out of room. In 2012, the coverage ratio spiked up to 75%. The reason for this was not primarily the dividend boost but in fact an increase in capital spending. Capex has gone from $2.1 billion in 2010 to over $3 billion today. The re-imaging of restaurants has taken a lot of capital. We really shouldn't expect too much dividend growth, perhaps only four percent per year, until the re-imaging campaign is finished.
Valuation: Be Careful
Despite the lukewarm growth outlook, McDonald's is fully valued. It's P/E ratio of 18.5 is just about at its normal level (the solid blue line above). The stock dropped and got close to its "Fair Value" (the orange line) in the summer of 2012 but has since jumped back up to over $100. There are better dividend and dividend growth alternatives out there right now, so there's no reason to believe money will continue piling into McDonald's. It's due for a pullback, or at least a period where it doesn't go up. That does not necessarily mean you should sell McDonald's here. If McDonald's is part of your long-term strategy and you are holding it for multiple years of dividends and dividend growth, go ahead and keep it. Things will eventually get better. At these prices, however, now is not the time add shares.
McDonald's is a great company with profitability metrics that are usually best in class. Their "Plan To Win" of optimizing the menu (especially in value terms), re-imaging and overseas expansion is being executed very well. In particular, the menu optimization has been working well to increase McDonald's market share.
However, all fast food restaurants have felt the pressure of a declining IEO market. Until those headwinds change or abate, McDonald's growth prospects will be very limited. Dividends have pretty much hit the ceiling. Furthermore, the stock is fully priced at its normal P/E ratio where it could easily be lower. If you've been looking to add shares of this company, give them a pass for now and wait for a better time.
Stay Tuned
McDonald's is a company I follow regularly and have written about in the past. I will continue to provide update articles when material and relevant.

"I saw this pattern and thought it would be great to go in my gift tins for my homemade spa sets for Christmas. I started the pattern but kept having trouble with the puff stitch. When I try to pull through the loop the hook gets stuck and pull a strand or two out making it look un-neat. Is there a way to prevent this? Could it be the yarn I am using?"
"I love this pattern for making dishcloths! It is so simple and it's so easy to remember. It makes a great,durable dishcloth. Does anyone tried this pattern with that new yarn that is made for making dishcloths? I think it might be a rayon blend. I'm going to try it next time I need dishcloths."
"This is a great beginner project, it was easy to follow and gave great instruction. I was able to work up several of these for co-workers who thought it was so cute. I am going to make several more for my home for company to use when they come over and have coffee."
"These spiral beaded trees are so pretty! For extra sparkle, I am going to place a battery tea light candle in the center of the spiral. Several of these trees would look great placed within a strand of twinkle or small rice lights on a mantle or table center piece!"
"That's a great idea!"

Lorin Ashton is the center of Bassnectar, the Berkeley based electronic collective he describes as "omni-tempo maximalism." Maximalism appears to characterize both a reaction to the more stripped down styles of the '00s, as well as being a literal expression of Bassnectar's sink-and-all approach to song construction.
Bassnectar and his various collaborators build on diverse styles that include - to name a few - dub, trip hop hip, breaks, glitch hop, ambient, and pounding chemical beats. Ashton even fuses in jazz and bluegrass influences. Somehow this crazy conflation works. Bassnectar manages to arrive at a sound that is refreshingly unique and new.
His gig schedule conveys this same diversity and scope. He has toured with a performers that oddly range from String Cheese Incident to KRS-One.
