Low Tech Set-Up
Good morning everyone! I've not had great success with the high tech approach. Alot of times the tank just gets inundated with algae and usually, it succums to everything melting away due to neglect. Getting plants that needed that high light (which i can provide) and a rather strict schedule of fertz dosing with the ever elusive CO2 injection has pretty much made a dent in my wallet a few times. Also, due to my own neglegence, I plan to just try my hand at the low tech approach and hope that it lasts.
I plan to take out 1 bulb in my 4 x 39watt fixture to keep it down to 117 wpg (I have a 55 gallon).
Here is the list of flora I'd like to introduce to the tank:
3 x Sagittaria, Dwarf (Order comes in 10 plants per order)
3 x Bacopa australis
2 x Hygrophila corymbosa Angustifolia
4 x Anubias, Nana (Anubias Barteri v. Nana
3 x Hornwort (Ceratophyllum demersum)
3 X Telanthera Rosefolia (Alternanthera reineckii)
I'm by no means lazy, it's just that I tend to be impusive when the slightest problem presents itself and if the problem persists, I get incredibly discouraged. I'm working on this, I tried to save my last tank and I endured a few months trying to salvage it; alas, it's gone.
Last word, unrealistic. I just couldn't keep up with it, thats why I want to try my hand at low tech.
Any comments on the list and or any words of encouragement?
Sounds good but I've had no luck with the Alternanthera in low tech scapes.
I've had no luck with it either.
Good luck!!
How's that?? :)
I have a low tech 20L & while I'm having a bit of an issue w/ algae at the moment I think low tech is the way to go.
Not wanting to spend the $$ on CO2 and having to learn how NOT to gas my fish also plays into it!
3 bulbs sounds like a lot of light to me - but then again I only have 1 little ole T8 on my tank so what do I know?!:)
4 T5HO seems like a lot of light.. i dont think the watts per gallon rule applies when dealing with HO bulbs? I may be wrong though..
I have a 55G too and i use just a single T5HO bulb. i even had to use screen mesh on the lid to block out 30% of the light. my plants are all growing fine. Feel free to look at my journal in my signature.
Are 39watt bulbs T5HO bulbs? Google results all show me T5HO bulbs when I search for 39 watt T5. ;)
Btw, you may find the following table helpful. It is just a guideline of course. I'm too lazy to upload it personally so I'm providing a link to it: http://www.fishforums.com/forum/aqua...ur-answer.html
According to the table, 3 or 4 T5HO bulbs on a 55 gallon tank (assuming it is ~20" tall) is too much light. Unless you're hanging it above the tank by a foot. Some other excellent info contained in the discussion of that post. I'd aim for a low or medium light tank for a low tech.
And good luck!
+1 jemminnifener , that is the best table available , Hoppy is the man . use this thread on here instead
I definitely wouldn't use more then 2 bulbs in your fixture, 3 is just to much light for what you're wanting to do.
Also, I'm surprised no one brought this up yet, but I would skip the hornwort. It would probably grow under those conditions, but it's an incredibly messy plant that doesn't stay rooted. It will float around, shed needles, and genuinely be a mess. The rest looks like good choices. You could also add some crypts, java fern, or vals to that list, to replace the few species that maybe aren't such a good choice for your plans.
About the plants - I have spiralis & lutea crypts that do great in my tank.
I'll definitely use two. My plants are supposedly on its way. In the process set up my 6 gal edge tank that's been out o commission for a while. Can't wait :))))!!!
Yes, 2 bulbs would be best, as several others have said.
Try a 7- 8 hour daily lighting period to keep algae at a minimum, and you should do fine.
In a low tech environment I have found that all types of Echinodorus (swords) do well, as well as Crypts, Java Ferns, Anubias, Hygrophilas, Nymphaea (Lotuses), Vals, Sags, Rotalas, Bacopas, Ludwigias, and others.
Your tank is looking real good - bet it looks splendid when you get it fully set up the way you want it !
As a precaution, I want circulation as much as possible. I picked up a circulation pump at a LFS. Part of why I got deterred from my last tank was because I believe there was a lack of circulation and that gave way to a lot of algae. Blue Green algae was prevalent in my tank and it basically consumed the HC. The specs rate it for a 55-90 gallon tank, I think it's too strong... It seems like it's causing quite a mess in my tank as i think there is way too much circulation. The next step below is for 30-55 gallons, better suited for my tank I would believe (700 gph). As we're experiencing Hurricane Sandy, my tank is experiencing some sort of tornado catastrophe. I hope to return it tomorrow and get the lower grade. Can anyone confirm? If I get this will it help lower my chances of algae infestation? I've never had one, or needed one, but I suppose having one wouldn't hurt.
Yes, having good circulation at the bottom levels of a tank will go a long way to helping avoid the development of blue-green algae. A water circulation pump, positioned properly, should eliminate any 'dead spots' at the bottom of the tank.

British authorities have decided to try eight people in the case of gutter journalism gone terribly wrong (or wrong-er). They include the woman who ran Rupert Murdoch's newspaper empire in the U.K. and Andy Coulson, who was editor of News of the World from 2003 until 2007 and then Prime Minister David Cameron's communications director until 2011.
The list is rounded out by other editors, a reporter and a private investigator.
The phone hacking scandal that has continued to haunt Murdoch erupted when journalists at his U.K. papers were accused of bribery and hacking into the voice mail systems of murdered innocents.
Mrs Brooks will face two charges - one relating to the alleged accessing of murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler's phone messages.
Mr Coulson is also accused in relation to allegedly hacking into Milly's phone, CPS legal adviser Alison Levitt QC said.
[...] The others facing charges are former NoW managing editor Stuart Kuttner, former news editor Greg Miskiw, former assistant editor Ian Edmondson, former chief reporter Neville Thurlbeck, former assistant editor James Weatherup and private investigator Glenn Mulcaire.

well, generally, you unbolt the caliper from on one side and loosen the other.
then swing the caliper off the disc, and you should be able to drop the pads out.
replace pads. (replace clips, shims, grease as necessary)
use some kind of flat object to get levarage on the pistons and push the pads apart.
swing the caliper back onto the disc, re-bolt, tighten.
how you actualy get the pads out might change, but the process is pretty much the same for any disc brake.

WASHINGTON — This week, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a series of new rules governing emissions controls at oil and natural gas wellsites across the country. Overall, the new regulations aim to limit the air pollution that may be tied to oil and natural gas production. And while this is a noble goal that producers agree should be met, the new rules do not come without concern.
The Independent Petroleum Association of America (IPAA) and its members are dedicated to continued development of our nation's oil and natural gas resources–key sources of energy, economic, and national security for the U.S.–in the safest, most responsible and most environmentally sensitive manner possible. That is why today, many of the technologies underscored in EPA's new rules are already being met and exceeded by industry. Control technologies and green completion methods are common practice for many independent oil and natural gas producers, creating significant reduction in emissions at the hands of industry investments in new, innovative, clean technology. As IPAA's Barry Russell highlighted in Gas Business Briefing:
"The good news is that many of the objectives that EPA would like to see accomplished under these new rules are already being met and exceeded by industry, with control technologies being deployed across the country and significant reductions in emissions being realized across the board," said Independent Petroleum Association of America CEO Barry Russell.
Yet just as independents are dedicated to environmental stewardship, they are dedicated to facts. As IPAA noted in the LA Times, State Journal, and others, EPA's new regulations should be based on the highest caliber of science available — and EPA's underlying emissions data sits on shaky ground. As the Houston Chronicle notes:
"The EPA's estimates about emissions reductions "are significantly overstated," IPAA's Barry Russell said. "The use of accurate data — readily available to the agency — would likely have yielded a very different rule, and one that's more in line with the reality of the situation."
But despite these challenges, independent producers are thriving, safely producing American energy resources, and reducing our impact on the environment. Just this week, IPAA greeted a record breaking number of attendees at IPAA's 18th annual OGIS New York, where publicly traded companies showcased their portfolios and demonstrated ever evolving and improving technology of their companies. As the Wall Street Journal editorial board points out, industry is already taking the lead, and working with state regulators to produce our natural resources while mitigating environmental impacts. Yet increased federal regulation stands not only to duplicate these efforts, but hinder development that the public relies upon for their everyday energy needs:
"The EPA is basically requiring operators to do what they're doing anyway: Most wellheads and pipelines already exceed the EPA benchmark…The reality is that as fracking booms through the Appalachian basin, the South and mountain West, the early wildcatting days are over. Operators are professional and best practices are spreading.
"Try as the EPA has, the fracking pollution the agency has claimed to uncover in Wyoming and elsewhere has turned out to be either small or hyped. But with this new rule, 10 separate federal agencies on top of the EPA will add a second layer of oversight. The EPA's rules may be achievable, but they're redundant."


text: 89 4x4 GMC 2500 sub engine swap with 91 gasoline motor. Fixed the TBI issues. Fired the motor. Timed it to 0 advanced with the wire unplugged. It runs and drives but must be primed to fire. No spray at start. It has a VERY low idle, 200. It randomly cycles rpm at idle, smells rich and at the lowest point of the rpm cycle it nearly dies and the check engine light briefly flashes on. The new O2 sensor is in the Y collector and is in the factory position. New exhaust directly to the cheap short headers. (It drove to and from the exhaust shop). Things I've done: Did the paper clip trick...got no codes. However...I mistakenly left the jumper in once and fired it...it ran up to high idle 1200 and slowly came down to 700 and purred. Turned it off after a bit and retried it...back to the same low idle. <----WTF? Tested the ECM in the dist...tested good. Replaced it with another old one...no change. Completely replaced bad TBI. The IAC motor broke and I replaced it with another old one I had from a donor TBI. No idea of the condition of the replacement IAC motor. Checked, rechecked and rechecked all grounds. Then checked them again. Tried to test the TPS voltage at key on. THERE IS NO VOLTAGE AT KEY ON FROM THE 3 TPS WIRES. I have voltage at the pods and nothing out of the TPS wires. Replaced TPS with another used one I had with same result. I have not tried to test the TPS voltage while running...I assume it has some as it runs and drives. Visually inspected the wires in the loom. Nothing looks wrong with any part of it visually. Key on...the coil is obviously hot. All gauges work well with the exception of oil pressure is pegged beyond max most of the time but then randomly reads correctly. Unplugged the battery overnight to reset the comp, with no change. New parts: Fuel pump, filter, cap, rotor, wires, plugs, motor, headers, 140 amp alternator, muffler. Replaced or tested parts: ECM, TBI, TPS, coil, IAC motor(no idea of the condition of the IAC other than cleaned and looked good) I am hoping with enough symptoms someone can help me determine what is wrong with this thing? Or at least give me good advice on a direction? It ran for years with no issues except for a dying motor. I will likely try the pick up coil next. Not sure if it can be tested or how much one is? Thanks again for the help on my on going nightmare.

As the social media and news channels fiercely speculated the extent of Rahul Gandhi's imprint in the cabinet reshuffle, the 43-year-old Congress general secretary spent a relatively quiet day at his 12, Tughlaq Lane residence in Delhi on Saturday. He avoided meeting any of the ministerial hopefuls, said sources close to him.
Gandhi held meetings with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh earlier this month and is believed to have played a key role in selecting the new entrants, especially the young faces, in the reshuffle.
Congress' organisational reshuffle may happen soon after Sunday's cabinet rejig. The Congress leadership hopes that Gandhi will take up a larger role in the organisation, which may even include an elevation as the working president.
Top Congress sources, however, claimed that while most in the party were engrossed with the reshuffle, Gandhi has kept his focus firmly on long-term plans to revive the organisation. During the past few weeks, Gandhi regularly held meetings with key leaders to evolve strategies for the next election.
Some of the meetings have taken place at the Congress' unofficial 'war room' at Delhi's Gurdwara Rakabganj Road. On Friday, at the latest round of strategy session, he reportedly gave specific responsibilities to trusted aides like Digvijaya Singh, Janardan Dwivedi and Jairam Ramesh to prepare for the 2014 elections.
Apart from touring the states, Gandhi holds regular meetings in Delhi with state unit representatives. "He always keeps a lot of data and papers with him during these interactions. Whenever leaders suggest names for key posts, Gandhi refers to his data bank and discusses the record of the concerned candidates," said a senior leader from Bihar, who met Gandhi during one such interaction.

Turkish long product steelmakers have lowered their price demands. The retreat was brought about by adverse trading conditions. Current prices levels in the domestic market have not been seen since mid-March. The shortage of price support is fuelling expectations of further weakness. Nearly all buyers are persisting with their cautious procurement strategies. Sales volumes of flat products continue to be subdued. Local distributors and end-users have not accepted the Turkish steel company Erdemir's May list price rise. Purchasing activity is not expected to improve in the interim.
Difficult trading conditions have persisted in the United Arab Emirates. With prices under pressure, most buyers have postponed booking material and are observing market trends. Recent weakness in imports has placed pressure on local producers and re-rollers to ease their price demands. The domestic steel industry has opted to either suspend sales or operate at reduced utilization rates.
Low activity has prompted procurement managers to indicate that there is no urgent need to replenish their inventories. The sourcing of ferrous scrap and semi-finished steel products has been deferred. This month the prices for these inputs have undergone a severe price correction.
Integrated Indian steel producers adopted different pricing positions in May. Flat products quotes stabilized in June, while long product offers have fallen in some regions by Rs1,500/2,000 (US$32-43) per metric ton. Re-rollers have passed on the benefits of the decline in input costs, particularly the reductions in semi-finished steel products. Discounting and rebates have been used to encourage buying activity. Pressure is growing within the country for a review on the taxes and quotas currently being levied on exports of iron ore. The Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India has made a strong recommendation of imposing a 20 percent duty on exports of iron ore fines, as against current rate of 5 percent. The export duty on ores stands at 15 percent.
South Africa's main steelmakers have ended their unofficial pricing consensus in a number of carbon steel product segments. ArcelorMittal South Africa (AMSA) and Highveld have employed different pricing strategies for June deliveries. AMSA has informed its customers that it is increasing a surcharge by 113 rand (US$14.60). The hike will bring the new surcharge to R713 (US$92), and will apply to all orders confirmed for delivery from the start of June 2010. There also are concerns about June production. Delivery of raw materials to domestic steelmakers has been hit by the ongoing strikes at the ports and at rail operator Transnet Ltd.
Brazilian steel consumers expect domestic quotes to stabilize. Until now, local mills have adopted different price strategies. A few market participants are sourcing imported flat products to hedge against any potential rise in domestic supply. Construction steel material has been less volatile. Gerdau has informed customers that it may raise its domestic long product prices soon. The steelmaker had been resisting adjusting its offers and absorbed additional production costs.
Renewed optimism is spreading through the Mexican steel industry. Although the recovery process is expected to be gradual, domestic consumption is more than likely to be driven by the automotive and construction sectors. Renewed confidence has led to local steelmakers announcing new investment projects. Nevertheless, mills have continued to lobby the Mexican government for measures to support their competitiveness. Last month there were concerns surrounding the removal of existing tariffs on imported steel.
In Russia, demand for construction steel has risen on the back of favorable weather conditions. Bookings have been particularly strong in the Central Federal District. There is evidence of continuing demand for hot-rolled material. Nonetheless, domestic consumers are concerned that local prices have remained high, while export prices have followed international trends and have fallen back dramatically.
Ukraine's steel industry has yet to witness any sustainable recovery in local requirements. The long products segments continue to be hindered by a lack of investment in construction projects and weak buyer sentiment. Demand has been restricted to the larger municipalities. Shortages of certain products have not been helpful. The tightness was the result of lower production capacities. OJSC ArcelorMittal Kriyviy Rih is expected to review its domestic quotations at the end of May. Exporters have been forced to mark down their price demands owing to the price weakness in their overseas markets.

(JTA) — Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), who has cultivated Jewish support as he considers a presidential run, tells Chris Moody of Yahoo News that he never made a legislative proposal to cut assistance to Israel.
"I haven't really proposed that in the past," Paul told Yahoo News when asked if he still thought the U.S. should phase out aid to Israel, which has been battling Hamas in Gaza for weeks. "We've never had a legislative proposal to do that. You can mistake my position, but then I'll answer the question. That has not been a position — a legislative position — we have introduced to phase out or get rid of Israel's aid. That's the answer to that question. Israel has always been a strong ally of ours and I appreciate that. I voted just this week to give money — more money — to the Iron Dome, so don't mischaracterize my position on Israel."
Cue the pile-on.
First, Moody, just one paragraph later, who notes that Paul did in fact propose cutting aid to Israel:
But that was in fact his position.In 2011, the newly elected Paul proposed a budget that would have cut $500 billion from the federal budget in part by cutting off foreign aid to all countries, including financial grants to Israel.I'm not singling out Israel. I support Israel. I want to be known as a friend of Israel, but not with money you don't have," Paul said in 2011 during an interview with ABC News. "We can't just borrow from our kids' future and give it to countries, even if they are our friends."He even pointed to Israel as an example of a nation that doesn't need foreign aid because of its own wealth."I think they're an important ally, but I also think that their per capita income is greater than probably three-fourths of the rest of the world," Paul said, also in 2011. "Should we be giving free money or welfare to a wealthy nation? I don't think so."
Dave Weigel at Slate recalls his own interview in which Paul proposed cutting Israel aid. So does Mediaite, which has video, and Ian Sams, a Democratic Party flack.
And naturally, so does the joint statement from the National Hewish Democratic Council and Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), the chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee.
No defense of Paul from Republican Jewish redoubts.

Reese McGuire and Austin Meadows Promoted to Jamestown
Austin Meadows has been promoted to Jamestown.
The GCL Pirates lost today in a one game playoff, ending their season. After the game, first round picks Austin Meadows and Reese McGuire were promoted to Jamestown, per their Twitter accounts. Neither move is a surprise, since the GCL seasons are over, and Jamestown could be heading to the playoffs. At the very least, both players should get a week at the new level, since Jamestown plays until the fourth. The Jammers currently have a two game lead in the Wild Card race in the NYPL, so they've got a good shot of extending their season.
The Pirates always send players from the GCL to the NYPL at the end of the season, so there should be more players to join McGuire and Meadows.
UPDATE 9:00 PM: The Pirates confirm that both McGuire and ...

Beschreibung""The Politics of Gender after Socialism" is a majestic work. Susan Gal and Gail Kligman offer a theoretically ambitious and empirically well grounded analysis of the transition from socialism to capitalism. They cover the most diverse aspects of social existence, from struggles about abortion and reproductive rights to the separation of public-private spheres, to the remaking of the political and economic system. In each of these fields they demonstrate the gendered nature of social transformation. They show persuasively the balance of continuity and change both in gender relations and in the social character of socialist and postsocialist formation. This book is far more than a study of gender issues after the fall of socialism; it is a major contribution to the theory of transition to a market economy and democracy."--Ivan Szelenyi, Yale University"Finally a book that makes sense of contemporary gender politics in East Central Europe. Written with great clarity, but no sacrifice of depth or complexity, Gal and Kligman give us the theoretical and historical tools for understanding social and political developments since the fall of communism. Most impressively they provide concrete illustrations for their point that concepts such as 'masculine, ' 'feminine, ' 'the welfare state, ' 'public, ' and 'private, ' are variable and need to be read in their historical contexts."--Joan Wallach Scott, Institute for Advanced Study"This is a very important and engaging study on East-Central European societies and their transformations through the lens of gender. It is a wonderful source of information on different aspects of gender relations in Eastern Europe and a major theoreticalcontribution to at least three distinct fields of study: feminist theory, studies on social change, and research on Eastern Europe."--Eva Fodor, Dartmouth College"Gal and Kligman's synthesis of the gender issues and tensions in the transformation of east-central Europe is a tour

PressestimmenWinner of the Heldt Prize for Best Book in Slavic/Eurasian/East European Women's Studies "The contributors not only show what has and has not changed since the old order's collapse; they create another vantage point from which to judge the whole process of postsocialist and economic transformation."--Foreign Affairs "In this insightful and accessibly written edited volume, Susan Gal and Gail Kligman have collected a diverse group of essays analyzing the democratization and marketization processes occurring in east central Europe through a gendered lens... Not only have women and men been affected differently by the economic and political changes under postcommunism, but, as this volume's case studies show, gendered analysis lends insight into the process of transition itself."--Valerie Sperling, Slavic Review "Breathtaking in scope and beautifully written, The Politics of Gender After Socialism is a compelling look at the ways in which women and men, states and markets, negotiate the politics of gender in a changing social world. Gal and Kligman have made a vital contribution not only to the literature on the transition in East Central Europe but also to the study of gender, economy and politics. A stunning analysis."--Nancy Weiss Hanrahan, Journal of Social History "Gal and Kligman have produced a tour de force of political exegesis and scholarship. The Politics of Gender after Socialism is destined to become a classic in studies of gender and political sociology as well as 'transition.' Scholars of political culture and institutions, whether they focus upon gender or not, East or West, will find this book important and stimulating."--Mabel Berezin, American Journal of Sociology

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Carlinhos Brown
Carlinhos Brown's first and most important percussion mentor was Mestre Pintado do Bongô (Osvaldo Alves da Silva), with whom he learned to highly regard the rich tradition of Brazilian folklore (especially that of Bahia). In 1980, Brown, already one of the most-reputed percussionists in Bahia, worked in a small recording company in Salvador, where he polished his recording and production skills doing jingles. At the same time, he turned his perception towards a synthesis of Brazilian rhythms with international pop music, being among the first waves of world music. His first composition to hit the radios was "Visão Do Ciclope," recorded by Luís Caldas in 1984. In the next year, he was invited by Caetano Veloso to join his band. Veloso recorded Brown's "Meia Lua Inteira" (Estrangeiro, 1989), which was later included in the soundtrack of the soap opera Tieta. In that period, Brown also worked with Gilberto Gil and Gal Costa and participated in world tours by names like João Gilberto, Djavan, and João Bosco. In the '90s, he formed the Timbalada, a drum band with more than 120 instrumentalists and singers which recorded several albums and developed its own successful trajectory, which began in the Carnival of Bahia. The Timbalada was Brown's first project that he dedicated to promoting social actions directed to young poor boys and girls from Salvador; among its goals, the project aimed to provide education for street children. ~ Alvaro Neder

McDonald's Corporation (MCD) Dividend Stock Analysis for 2013
Posted by: Dividend Growth Investor (IP Logged)
Date: September 6, 2013 07:29AM
McDonald's Corporation (MCD), together with its subsidiaries, franchises and operates McDonald's restaurants primarily in the United States, Europe, the Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa. This[/color]dividend champion has paid dividends since 1976 and increased distributions on its common stock for 36 years in a row.
The company's last dividend increase was in September 2012 when the Board of Directors approved a 10% increase to 77 cents/share. The company's largest competitors include Yum Brands (YUM), Starbucks (SBUX) and Burger King (BKW).
Over the past decade this dividend growth stock has delivered an annualized total return of 19.50% to its shareholders.
The company has managed to an impressive increase in annual EPS growth since 2003. Earnings per share have risen by 18.30% per year. Analysts expect McDonald's to earn $5.60 per share in 2013 and $6.11 per share in 2013. In comparison McDonald's earned $5.36/share in 2012.
The company's international operations have fueled the strong growth in McDonald's earnings over the past twenty years. Despite the fact that a little over half of the company's profits are derived internationally, this segment could continue to deliver solid performance in the future. Another factor fueling the company's growth and maintenance of its edge against competitors and other threats has been its ability to innovate in its menu and reinvent itself in order to win. Some examples of that include the addition of salads to its menu a few years ago, as well as the introductions of premium drinks for customers. Other examples include extending store hours as well as focusing on the core brands through disposition of Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG). The company has also been able to focus on streamlining operations and focusing on same-store sales, rather than mindlessly expanding at all costs. However, it still plans on expanding store count, while also reimaging existing locations, in order to improve the customer experience.
McDonald's growth targets include:
- Average annual sales growth of 3% to 5%
- Average annual operating income growth of 6% to 7%, and
- Return on incremental invested capital in the high teens
The company also has a strong brand name, which has also allowed it to pass on price hikes onto customers, who nevertheless are still perceiving it's menu in the "value" category. As a result, inflationary pressures should not affect profitability by a wide margin.
The return on equity has expanded from 13.20% in 2003 to 36.80% in 2012. Rather than focus on absolute values for this indicator, I generally want to see at least a stable return on equity over time.
The annual dividend payment has increased by 28.40% per year over the past decade, which is much higher than to the growth in EPS.
A 28% growth in distributions translates into the dividend payment doubling every two and a half years. If we look at historical data, going as far back as 1976 we see that McDonald's has actually managed to double its dividend every three and a half years on average. I expect dividend growth to average 10%/year over the next decade.
The dividend payout ratio has increased from 34% in 2002 to 53.50% in 2012. The expansion in the payout ratio has enabled dividend growth to be faster than EPS growth over the past decade. A lower payout is always a plus, since it leaves room for consistent dividend growth minimizing the impact of short-term fluctuations in earnings.
Currently, McDonald's is attractively valued at 16.80 times earnings, yields 3.10% and has an adequately covered dividend.

Republic, Lost: How Money Corrupts Congress--and a Plan to Stop It (2011)
by Lawrence Lessig
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Very thought provoking and insightful look at the role and influence of money in politics, but even further, in our entire political and economic system. The author also has suggestions on handling and solving this problem, but admits that it would be difficult and almost impossible to implement without some severe circumstances to push people into action. I wish I could get everyone to read this.
If you care about the future of this country, you need to read this book. It doesn't matter if you are Independent, Democrat or Republican
Larry Lessig is one of the best thinkers of our time, and this is another great book that explains the world we live in. His take on "corruption," and how our elections have been altered by private money is a cogent argument for why we think all of our politicians are untrustworthy.
I was surprised by the balance of this book. Not overly liberal or conservative. This is a good thing because US corruption transcends even the microscopically thin line between republican and democrat.
Lessig lays out the problems and the types of corruption that exists and then gives us four possible plans to fix the problems and remove the corruption. Sadly, none of the plans have a high likelihood for success (in both my view, but more importantly Lessig's).
Lessig states that this may not be the most pressing matter of the United States but it is the matter than needs to be dealt with first. He does however have hope, and says that any change needs to come from a grassroots movement and not from within the beltway.
So maybe its time for the occupy movement and the tea party movement and any other reformers to stop screwing around with political issues and work to change the political system.
Audiobook. Morally pretentious and condescending. Extremely slow developing. Basically the first half can be summed up in one sentence: Even if the system of congressional campaign funding does not corrupt congress, the mere appearance of corruption that it presents is bad enough to cause the large majority of Americans to not trust their government and become politically disengaged. Okay now you can start about halfway through, track 15 in the audiobook. After that the book is very insightful into the operations of congress and how money distorts and corrupts congress and causes it to ignore everyone except the rich. It also explains how the rich completely control elections except on the one day every two years when the masses are allowed to vote for the candidates the rich have chosen. In the end the author gives some seemingly hopeless (as he admits) options to try to change the corrupt system. The author is incredibly knowledgeable about the subject and exceedingly non-partisan. I read it through so I can better understand the corrupt system, but I wouldn't necessarily call this a "good book."
Mr. Lessig's analysis of the distorting effects of money is, in the main, dead on. The problems with "Republic, Lost" lie elsewhere. While he insists, again quoting Thoreau, that to hack at the "branches of evil" is futile, campaign finance reform is, in itself, arguably an inadequate ax.
"So his focus is not so much on the solutions, but on the first step: laying down the argument for why change needs to happen. Seventy-five percent of the book is a deep examination of the problem of corruption: what corruption means (from an almost philosophical perspective); the specifics of how corruption operates in our particular system; and an analysis of how our government will continue to fail us, given the present system."

Federal Election Commission-trust in our government has reached an all-time low. More than ever before, Americans believe that money buys results in Congress, and that business interests wield control over our legislature.
With heartfelt urgency and a keen desire for righting wrongs, Harvard law professor Lawrence Lessig takes a clear-eyed look at how we arrived at this crisis: how fundamentally good people, with good intentions, have allowed our democracy to be co-opted by outside interests, and how this exploitation has become entrenched in the system. Rejecting simple labels and reductive logic-and instead using examples that resonate as powerfully on the Right as on the Left-Lessig seeks out the root causes of our situation. He plumbs the issues of campaign financing and corporate lobbying, revealing the human faces and follies that have allowed corruption to take such a foothold in our system. He puts the issues in terms that nonwonks can understand, using real-world analogies and real human stories. And ultimately he calls for widespread mobilization and a new Constitutional Convention, presenting achievable solutions for regaining control of our corrupted-but redeemable-representational system. In this way, Lessig plots a roadmap for returning our republic to its intended greatness.
While America may be divided, Lessig vividly champions the idea that we can succeed if we accept that corruption is our common enemy and that we must find a way to fight against it. In REPUBLIC, LOST, he not only makes this need palpable and clear-he gives us the practical and intellectual tools to do something about it.

A Harvard Law professor explains how being influenced by money overshadows the will of the people in the political arena regardless of party lines and offers strategies to take back the democracy from those with moneyed or corporate interests.

The men's soccer team is preparing for a trip to Costa Rica
next summer.
While in Costa Rica, the team will compete in soccer games/tournaments and participate
in a service project. Stritch teams participate in at least two service
projects each year, with many teams exceeding that goal.
Stritch community members can support the team and enjoy a meal at the same time.
On Wednesday, May 8, the soccer team will partner with California
Pizza Kitchen, located at nearby Bayshore Mall. The restaurant will donate 20%
of every check paid in support of the fundraiser. Checks must be accompanied by the official flyer.
A separate group of Stritch students will visit Monteverde,
Costa Rica at the end of this month. The volunteers will spend time with local children, work on ecological
projects, and learn about environmentally sustainable practices.
Please contact Jennifer
Alig, associate director of international education, for additional
information on either service immersion trip.

Mul Groom Genie For Dogs Lg {bin-2}
Mul Groom Genie For Dogs Lg {bin-2}
Product Description
The Groom Genie evolved from a brush designed for humans & the Knot Genie. Rikki Mor, a mom of three, was frustrated with the huge cost and lack of effectiveness of other detangling brushes on the market. So she took matters into her own hands and invented what is now known as The World's Best Detangling Brush. Word about this amazing brush spread from mom to mom, salon to salon, Facebook friend to Facebook friend, local news to national news, from the US to the rest of the world. In all the feedback about the brush, a few observations kept reoccurring. One was that sensory-challenged children loved the brush. Another was that many people had purchased a second or third brush to use on their pets. Of course, the light bulb went on. Work started immediately on creating the pet version of the Knot Genie. The Groom Genie became the first grooming brush that not only detangles and beautifies coats, but reduces a pet's grooming anxiety while strengthening the bond between owner and pet.

power steering loss when turning
Has anyone else had this issue? power steering cuts out almost every time the car takes a turn, usually beyond 40 degrees or so ( off and on ramps etc ) ive read possible problems for this being obviously a bad pump and also dirty fluid but the pump is brand new and has new atm fluid in it and was bled. maybe just another flush and refill? sediments possibly caught in there? power steering pump was replaced because there was a leak and it ran the reservoir dry and power steering would not work when leak was fixed and new fluid was added. now its fine with the exception of it cutting out around turns.
anyone have similar issues? appreciate it.
Nope, maybe just try to drain it and refill in hopes there's a clog of some sort.
Kinda odd it's at sharp cornering tho
Yea i was kinda puzzled by it. Gonna test the pump soon just to make sure. in case its a fluke remanufac part or something. neva know. Thanks for the input
Keep us posted, good luck
havnt been able to pressure test yet. Problem seems to be decreasing a little though. I think im still gonna do a flush tho. This has me scratching my head.
Maybe your working out your bug. It may go away, it's up to you though weather you wanna just be on the safe side with your investment. (I would)
I bet it's a bubble/air in the line somewhere. If it's subsiding, I'd give it a little time.
A possibility but I probably would go no more than another week to see if it subsides.
Yea, im not leaning towards air as the culprit anymore. I bled it like 4 times for about 5 minutes each and its been a week or two and the system would have self bled by now anyway. Belt is tight. Im gonna just flush it out again. GOOD. If the problem continues I may have to try another pump or maybe the rack took a crap. No signs of metal that i can see in the fluid but wutever, ill figure it out.
Just annoying when your ride isnt 100% healthy.
I hear that.
I'm having the same problems...04 WRX...let me know what U find.

Quitting smoking is the best thing you can do
The single best thing that you can do for your health and lifestyle is to quit smoking, smokeless tobacco and other nicotine delivery products. Everyone now knows the dangers of smoking, but many people are still misled by smokeless tobacco products. There is no safe tobacco.
Cessation from nicotine is not easy for most people. Very few can put their tobacco down permanently. Quitting can become more "do-able" by having a strategy that addresses the habit, psychology (triggers) and addiction of using tobacco. Planning healthy lifestyle changes can help you get through the discomfort of withdrawal. Finding healthier ways to comfort and reward yourself will help you cope with life without tobacco. Most importantly, having the desire to free yourself from a substance that controls your time, finances and decisions will help motivate you. Having a strategy and forming relapse prevention plans can see you through the long term.
Quitting cold turkey is not the best method for everyone. Many people benefit from using medications for cessation. There are non-nicotine and FDA-approved nicotine medications on the market. Using them properly is an important part of your plan. Not every medication is ideal for every person, but there probably is something that will work for you. Nicotine is a poison that changes the brain in a long lasting way, much like heroin. Many people fear that using a nicotine replacement medication is counter productive to cessation efforts. Nicotine replacement products are safer than tobacco and other nicotine sources. These products provide you with enough comfort to give you time to quit. You learn new behaviors while using them and then come off of the nicotine slowly.
There is help available for your cessation efforts. Cessation classes, such as Freedom from Smoking, are taught in many areas. There are online resources such as Quitnet.com, Quitsmokeless.org and Nicotine Anonymous, providing national meetings over the phone. There is a national hotline, 1800-QUIT-NOW, as well as the American Lung Association's 1-866-QUIT-YES. Western North Carolina residents may also find help at Mission Hospital's Nicotine Dependence Program, 213-5527.
Fern Webb is a tobacco addiction specialist at Mission Hospital.

2010 President's Award for Leadership Page
President's Award for Leadership
Andrea Taglione
BS, Exercise Science
The President's Award for Leadership is given to a student who is chosen from an outstanding group of nominees that have provided leadership for their peers in their activities while a student at Michigan Tech.
Recipient's Bio
The largest impact to Andrea's leadership development was her involvement in the Orientation program. Through her work with both the Orientation program and new students as a commuter mentor, Andrea realized that her true passion lies with helping peers and other students to be successful.
Andrea's role in orientation has had a great impact on hundreds of students. After serving as an OTL and Commuter Mentor, Andrea sought the challenge of Programming and Communications Coordinator for Orientation. Her dedication to the program and her desire to continue to provide this type of program for students is the reason that Andrea has been on the Orientation Executive Staff for two years. Although Orientation week can be stressful at times, serving the incoming students in that capacity constituted the best week of Andrea's college experience thus far and being able to see the staff of OTLs grow throughout their intense training week and Orientation week, was immensely rewarding.
As Andrea wrapped up her role as the Programming and Communications Coordinator, she realized she still wasn't quite ready to leave the Orientation program. This year, she was accepted back onto the Orientation Executive Staff as the Selection and Training Coordinator. In this role, Andrea is responsible for the selection of 70 new staff members, maintaining a database of applicant information for students applying for positions across student life, developing the Orientation Spring Training program, and working throughout the summer to develop our intense week-long training program for our OTLs this fall.

Date of Stay: March, 2014
Perfect setting. Immaculate sites and bathrooms. We were in a site next to the lake. Very pretty and quiet. All the sites were very spacious. However, a larger rig might have trouble getting around some of the turns. Hiking paths were very nice. We will return.
Date of Stay: October, 2013
This campground straddled a dirt road. We were in the very first campsite as you drive into the area and were satisfied with our site. It was fairly private. It was narrow. We were not able to set up our canopy but that didn't prevent us from enjoying our experience here. We were right on the stream and could hear the water rushing. Other sites were very cramped and close to the road. If we had been in the next few sites in the campground we would've been very disappointed in our experience. There were some sites that were in a circle that appeared to be a bit larger and were accommodating larger rigs. The bathrooms were fine. The pool area looked well-kept but was closed for the season. The manager/owner was very nice. I would recommend asking for site #1 if you are in a tent or popup. If you are in a larger rig you should call to make sure you can get in and out of the campground. If you are looking at the sites that are along the road be prepared to be very close to the traffic. I'm guessing that some tents were less than ten feet from the road.
Date of Stay: July, 2013
This is a fairly new park in the Boone area. The sites are very roomy. Lots of space between them. The bathhouse was very clean and well-maintained. There was a laundry facility and outside sink for cleaning dishes. The tent sites were very isolated. The owner will assist with hauling your gear to the remote sites. Lots of trails to explore. Stocked trout pond. No water at RV sites but, this was not a big issue for us. The owner delivered our firewood to our site. Very nice guy! We are planning to stay here again when we come to this area. The road into the campground from the main road was tight in places but still manageable. Stargazers will be in heaven here.
Date of Stay: May, 2013
In theory, this should've been a very pleasant experience. I believe if we had visited in the off-season we would've had a great time. However, we went with friends on Memorial Day weekend and were very disappointed. The campsites are ridiculously close together and over crowded. We witnessed many sites with three tents pitched in very close proximity. The bath house was a mess almost the entire time we were ,and it was woefully inadequate for the volume of campers using it. It was fairly obvious on our third day here that people were not happy with the situation and were packing up to leave early. I determined this by the number of folks that were leaving late in the day, rather than experiencing another night of cramped, noisy, camping with sanitary facilities that may have been failing at any moment. I really wanted to like this adventure, but I just can't get past the generally poor execution of the camping facilities. Half as many sites with at least two more bath houses would be the minimum needed to make this camp site workable. I know my review is scathing, but it's the truth, and I didn't even include the issues with the dumpster overflowing.
Date of Stay: January, 2013
Very nice area. The Piggly-Wiggly grocery store was within walking distance of our site. Lots of hiking/biking trails to enjoy. Our favorite part was that the beach on the city side of the pier was dog friendly (in the off-season). So, our little corgi dog could run free. Looking forward to returning in the early spring.
Date of Stay: October, 2012
We went to this park in the off-season and was pleasantly surprised to find it mostly empty. The lake level was a bit low. The sites were perfect. Very quiet at this time of the year. Not too far from the mountains of SC.
Date of Stay: July, 2012
Very nice park. Lots for kids to do. Pool was well-maintained. Platform camping was very nice (previously camped here in a tent).

When Lydia Ko looks back at this year's US Women's Open she will rue her opening round of 76.
That six-over disaster, courtesy of a terrible back nine including three bogeys and a triple bogey, meant she was always going to have too much ground to catch up during the following three days.
The 17-year-old held firm though with two rounds of 71 before carding a one-under 69 in her final round today to finish at seven-over for the tournament in a share of 15th place, earning US$58,096 ($67,000).
Ko was nine shots back from winner Michelle Wie, who finished at two-under and was the only player under par for the week as she claimed her maiden major title.
North Carolina's Pinehurst No 2 played tough throughout the tournament and Ko could have even finished in the top 10 had it not been for two late bogeys on the 15th and 16th holes of her final round.
Meanwhile, Manawatu's Tim Wilkinson finished in a share of 18th at the Travelers Championship in Connecticut on the PGA Tour.
The left-hander fired an even-par 70 in his final round today and was left to watch players creep past him on the leaderboard during a day of low scoring.
American Kevin Streelman (-15) birdied the last seven holes of the TPC River Highlands course to card a final round six-under 64 and win the tournament by one shot from Sergio Garcia and KJ Choi (-14).

Osi Umenyiora No Longer Referring to Robert Griffin III as 'Bob,' Now Calling Rookie Phenom 'Sir Robert'
Originally posted on NESN.com | Last updated 10/19/12
Robert Griffin III has apparently earned the respect of Osi Umenyiora. The Giants defensive end didn't buy into the hype of the Redskins rookie quarterback prior to the season, and thus said he'd only refer to the Heisman Trophy winner as "Bob." However, as the two NFC East teams get ready to battle on Sunday, Umenyiora is giving Griffin some respect after the rookie has taken the league by storm in the early going. "Sir. His name is Sir Robert Griffin," Umenyiora said Thursday, according to the New York Daily News. "All the respect in the world goes to him. A phenomenal football player." Umenyiora, like the rest of the league, has been impressed with the play of Griffin so far this season.He's completed 70.2 percent of his passes for five touchdowns through six games, and has done even more damage on the ground, rushing for 379 yards and six touchdowns. Perhaps no play was more impressive than Griffin's 76-yard touchdown run last weekend. That alone has Umenyiora hoping Griffin stays away from him. I hope he doesn't come to my side," Umenyiora said. "Hopefully they'll be able to go somewhere else. I don't want no parts of that myself. He's just a phenomenal football player." Regardless of what happens Sunday, though, the rookie has earned the veteran's respect. "I opened my mouth and I said when he does anything in the league we're going to call him his name," Umenyiora said, according to the paper. "And he's definitely earned whatever he wants to be called; he's earned that for sure."

I use a large, cheap flannel back tablecloth from Walmart! I got this idea from a friend in a quilt guild. I lay everything out in the floor because I have natural light coming into my sewing room! It works very well!
Hope this helps!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I use a large, cheap flannel back tablecloth from Walmart! I got this idea from a friend in a quilt guild. I lay everything out in the floor because I have natural light coming into my sewing room! It works very well!
Hope this helps!
anybody ever get those old screen projector thingamajigs that roll down when you used to watch the slides in school or the old maps that roll up. I have one upstairs that I think I might hang when I get everything going.
I used the foam insulation board and covered it with felt. But after using it, I felt that the blocks didn't always stick to it very well. So I bought a cheap vinyl tablecloth and put it over the felt upside down. I think that works better than the felt did.
I also bought the polystyrene (foam insulation board and wrapped it with flannel. it is a perfect design wall and as posted before, some blocks stick and when pieces get large, they fall and need pinning. The polystyrene board was only $10 for 4x8 feet sheet. I also cut it down to the size that works for me.
I bought an inexpensive flannel backed plastic table cloth. It worked great but then one of my quilting buddies purchased a Fons and Porter design cloth. It is really nice. It has a 2 inch grid which makes it easier to know how large/small your quilt is working out to size. Since I am not a pattern lover, but rather a free spirit designer, I needed something/place to put my
"creation" where I could stand back and look at it. The Fons and Porter cloth is expensive and works well, but the inexpensive flannel backed table cloth worked just as well.
I went to my local JoAnns (back in NY) and purchased 2 yards of white felt (72 inches). Then I turned it down 2 1/2" and sewed a tube. Then I slid the design wall on the rod and hung it up. I keep it rolled up and out of the way when not in use. I have put a picture of it on the board.
Excellent idea. Will have to try this one.Originally Posted by cny_sewer39
I use the plastic table clothes with the flannel in back I tacks at the very top (ceiling meets wall) and also 2 at the bottom - it works great - but I truly love the idea of the project board sometimes I need something smaller and this can be set up on my table thank you all
I fyou have a flannel backed table cloth you can use that

TEANECK, N.J. – Jake Gronsky (Danville, Pa./Danville Area) hit a grand slam, two doubles and drove in seven as the Monmouth University baseball team split a doubleheader against intrastate Northeast Conference foe Fairleigh Dickinson Saturday afternoon at the Naimoli Complex. With the split, the Hawks move to 23-15 (14-5 NEC), while the Knights are now 7-26 (3-16 NEC).
Dan Shea (Wilmington, Del./Salesianum) added a 3-for-6 effort with a double and four runs scored. Chris Perret (Morris Plains, N.J./Morris Catholic), Steve Wilgus (Woolwich, N.J./Gloucester Catholic) and Owen Stewart (Howell, N.J./St. Rose) added two hits apiece, with Perret homering, scoring twice and driving in two. Wilgus scored once and drove in three, pushing his two-day total to seven RBI's. Stewart also drove in a run.
Frank Trimarco (Merrick, N.Y./Sanford H. Calhoun) pushed his record to 4-0 with six strong innings in Game 2. He allowed three earned runs on nine hits and a walk, striking out one. Jeff Paglione (Mantua, N.J./Gloucester Catholic) closed out the win with a scoreless seventh inning. Chris McKenna (Pine Beach, N.J./Toms River South) kept the Hawks in Game 1 with 4.1 innings of scoreless relief, scattering three hits and a walk, while striking out three. T.J. Hunt (Wyckoff, N.J./Ramapo) took the Game 1 loss, allowing seven earned runs on nine hits in 1.2 innings pitched.
Dylan Sprague led FDU with a 4-for-5 effort at the plate. Kyle Weeks added three hits, five RBI's and three runs scored, while Ryan MacDonald, Riley Moonan and Jordan Ritz added three hits each. Brendan Butler earned the Game 1 win on the mound, allowing four runs, two earned, on five hits and four walks. He struck out three. Eric Snyder picked up the save, holding the Hawks scoreless and hitless, issuing three walks while striking out one. Anthony Calise was tagged with the Game 2 loss, allowing three earned runs on one hit and two walks without retiring a batter in relief of Matt Cadigan. Cadigan allowed two earned runs on three hits and a walk in four innings.
Perret got the Hawks on the board first with a two-out solo shot to right in the top of the first of Game 1. The Knights countered with three runs in the bottom of the first and never trailed again. Weeks did the damage with a two-run double to right center, before Eric Anderson added a two-out run-scoring double to put the Knights on top, 3-1.
FDU added four runs in the second to take a 7-1 lead. A pair of infield singles and a Moonan single through the right side loaded the bases with two outs for Weeks, who cleared the bases with a double to left center. Sprague then drove in the fourth run with a single to right.
The Hawks battled back with three runs in the fourth and another in the sixth. A hit-by-pitch, a fielding error and a walk loaded the bases with one out in the Monmouth fourth. Wilgus then drove in two with a double to right, before Gronsky drove in the third run with a groundout, cutting the deficit to 7-4. Shea led off the sixth with a double and scored on Gronsky's double to right center. Snyder replaced Calise on the mound and immediately issued a pair of walks to load the bases. But he then induced a groundout to end the threat. He'd issue another walk in the seventh, but that was all in closing out Game 1 for the save.
Game 2 started with the Hawks and Knights alternating scoring innings and a 2-2 stalemate after four innings. Monmouth got on the board in the first after Wilgus walked, moved to second on a balk, took third on a Gronsky fly out, and scored on Perret's groundout. FDU took a 2-1 lead with two runs in the second. Weeks singled and Sprague doubled to put runners on second and third. Anderson then grounded out to score Weeks and move Sprague to third. Joel Roman then drove in Sprague with a sacrifice fly.
Three straight hits by Shea, Connor White (Wall, N.J./Wall) and Wilgus accounted for the Hawks' run in the third. Shea doubled to left center, before White singled to right, putting runners on the corners. Wilgus then singled through the right side to score Shea and tie the game at 2-2.
The Hawks used a five-run fifth to blow Game 2 open. Calise replaced Cadigan to begin the fifth and issued a leadoff walk to Jon Guida (Martinsville, N.J./Bridgewater Raritan), a Shea single to center, a wild pitch that pushed the runners to second and third and a walk to White to load the bases. Yonah Perline was then summoned from the Knights bullpen and after inducing a pop out, Gronsky hammered a grand slam to left to give the Hawks a 6-2 advantage. Perret then doubled, stole third and scored on a Stewart single to left center to stake Monmouth to a 7-2 lead.
The teams exchanged single runs in the next two half innings. The Knights paired a Ritz double with a MacDonald RBI single in the fifth, before the Hawks got a pair of doubles from White and Gronsky to get the run back and move to the bottom of the sixth up, 8-3. Trimarco and Paglione each got a double-play ball in the final two innings to help close out Game 2.
The Hawks and Knights conclude their four-game series tomorrow. First pitch from Teaneck, N.J., is scheduled for 1 p.m.

Good late Monday afternoon sweetpeas, and how was your weekend? Ours was unexpectedly relaxing, spent a lot of time at home (always a treat) as we were trying to dig out of the approx. 22 inches that fell around here! It was quite the snowstorm. If you missed my pictures, seeing is believing you must check it out, click here. Now that mother nature has shown us who's in charge…I am totally ready to zoom into spring!
How I love velvet…. I actually always have had a thing for it but in recent years, my love has escalated to an obsession. And there's no cure in sight. Kind of like the blue and white affliction….oh well at least it's all in the name of beauty. I adore velvet, its luscious texture, soft sheen and coziness make it a fabric I could easily have in every room.
It is as beautiful in a living, dining or library as it is a study or bedroom. Add a beautiful trim to a solid color velvet and the result is nothing short of spectacular! As I am decorating my own home, I have more than a handful of ideas of how and where I plan to incorporate velvet. And seriously this is one fabric that looks just amazing in every single color, I have yet to see a color it doesn't rock in!
Stunning! Velvet is so beautiful in a rich hue like this blue, and the tufting is like the icing on the cake! Atticmag
Sandra Nunnerly created this gorgeous living roolm with warm toned velvet upholstered pieces..love it!?
?A gorgeous chaise in purple velvet in this sitting area is gorgeous, AD
|Love a velvet ottoman,especially this beauty in navy with nailheads, stunning!
|A sleek blue sofa in gorgeous blue velvet, My Chic Nest
Using velvet on a statement piece like on this gorgeous French chair has given me a few good ideas, Mary McDonald
|This dark moss green is one of my absolute faves, then add the tufting+ perfection!
Gorgeous in gray….love the gray velvet sofas in this beautiful room.
?Purple never looked so good! AD
|Gorgeous greens in luscious velvet, Home Decor
|Love these softly toned pale blue velvet dining chairs, Thomas Burak
|Love this tufted velvet bed! Sandra Nunnerly
|Beautiful velvet chairs look smashing in this transitional living room, love the cool color palette
Sarah Richardson chose to make this pair of chairs the statement pieces in a cut striped vibrant velvet
|Curtains in a rich velvet are definitely a true luxury….love the soft gray here, Houzz
?Mary McDonald is a huge fan and in this vibrant room, the result is dazzling!
So..what do you think? Does this want to make you run out and cover something in velvet? Or maybe you already are a fan? Do you love it as much as I do? What is your favorite way to see velvet? Color? You know I love to know your thoughts.? Have a fabulous Monday evening and start to your week!

Gaussian mixture modelling of broad phonetic and syllabic events for text-independent speaker verification
Baker, Brendan J., Vogt, Robert J., & Sridharan, Sridha (2005) Gaussian mixture modelling of broad phonetic and syllabic events for text-independent speaker verification. In Eurospeech/Interspeech : Proceedings of the 9th European Conference on Speech Communication and Technology 2005, 4-8 September 2005, Lisbon, Portugal.
|PDF (127kB)
This paper examines the usefulness of a multilingual broad syllable-based framework for text-independent speaker verification. Syllabic segmentation is used in order to obtain a convenient unit for constrained and more detailed model generation. Gaussian mixture models are chosen as a suitable modelling paradigm for initial testing of the framework. Promising results are presented for the NIST 2003 speaker recognition evaluation corpus. The syllable-based modelling technique is shown to outperform a state-of-the-art baseline GMM system. A simple selective reduction of the syllable set is also shown to give further improvement in performance. Overall, the syllable based framework presents itself as valid alternative to text-constrained speaker verification systems, with the advantage of being multilingual. The framework allows for future testing of alternative modelling paradigms, feature sets and qualitative analysis.

text: LOL no I hope they don't get cancelled. If it was just a double coupon I'd be ordering everything I could like anyone else. I realized it wasn't the coupon that gave me the discount, but something permanently vulnerable on their site, and since I'm not a shit person I decided I needed to tell them about it before the wrong person figures it out and systematically scams them for tens of thousands of dollars before they realize it (If it hasn't been happening already.)
