The next train for Bedford is not arriving
More than a third of trains between Bedford and Brighton '" voted Britain's worst-'¨performing train line '" were either late or cancelled during one week last month.
Thursday, 8th December 2016, 9:06 am
Updated Wednesday, 14th December 2016, 12:39 pm
Thameslink has admitted that only 59.2 per cent of services arrived within five minutes of their scheduled time between November 13 and November 19.
And new figures show nearly one in eight (12.2 per cent) were cancelled during the same period.
The worst day was on November 17 when a "spike in the power supply" between Kentish Town and West Hampstead in north London caused 197 trains to be cancelled. On two nights last week (Sunday and Monday) Thameslink had to lay on buses to ferry passengers the 50 miles between London and Bedford because they didn't have enough drivers to operate timetabled trains.
A spokesman for the company said: "We apologise for the cancellations." There were also problems at Harlington station on Sunday evening when trains were unable to stop there because of a power cut.
Thameslink was voted worst performing train operator in a survey carried out by consumer group Which? earlier this year. Only 46 per cent of passengers said they were satisfied.
A company spokesman said then: "We are working hard to improve performance by reducing the delays within our control."

There's a lot to unpack in the new Hellboy. And by "a lot," I mean what is apparently 25 years worth of comic stories crammed into one excessively long movie that worked hard to earn its R rating for gratuitous…err…I mean graphic violence.
It was a joy to see this movie with some friends of ours who were visiting town, one of whom is a legitimate Hellboy fan. Thank God for him because were it not for his patient explanation this would be a very different review and I'd be beating off trolls with a stick, not unlike a scene in the movie, only with giants.
First, agree or disagree, I have to say that I am of the opinion that these comic book movies aren't made exclusively for comic book fans. They are obviously intended to reach out to a wider audience by introducing them to well-developed characters with a wealth of storylines to draw on over time, sequel after sequel. This was not the case with Hellboy.
What I mistook as a convoluted, disjointed plot/series of plots was, I am told, actually an attempt to squeeze in I'm guessing around a dozen different side stories into one movie. The problem is that someone who is lacking a deep and comprehensive foreknowledge of the comic lore is left scratching their heads in baffled confusion. If the goal was to create an homage to the comic for the fans, then it was met (even if it was sloppy). If the goal was to create a good film, then they would have been better served to either A) scratch half the ideas so they could concentrate on quality over quantity; or B) launch it on Netflix as an 8-episode story arc that all eventually tied in, but still had the ability to go on a creative walk-about episode by episode, say, similar to what they did with The Chilling Tales of Sabrina.
As a movie, seen by an average movie-goer who's only introduction to this universe was via the original Ron Perlman version, this reboot is exhausting. Literally exhausting…as in I fell asleep during part of it. The inability to hold its viewers' attention, yay, even their consciousness, is sort of the definition of a bad movie, yet I still feel compelled to defend this one. The thing is, I have no reason why.
Is it because Hellboy was so badass? No, because he wasn't. He got the shit kicked out of him in every fight scene and never once defeated the person he was up against on his own: someone else had to save him every time.
Is it because the movie's just hella cool? Nope, can't be that. The original two looked better, felt better, sounded better and were better written.
Is it because of the cast? Maybe, but I didn't even realize that was David Harbour under all that red makeup until after it was over.
Was it the grittiness allowed by its R-rating? Most definitely not. They did not take advantage of this opportunity to explore anything more adult than sophomoric CGI gore.
At the end of the day, I think I just liked the fundamental theme that's central in all Hellboy stories. There's something that resonates with me when Hellboy decides each and every day that he wants to be good, even though he isn't. As someone who has enjoyed their fair share of cognitive behavioral therapy, I appreciate that it's easy to just get in a routine defined by one's nature and forget that you have to choose to walk down a deliberate path to get the most out of life. My viewing of Hellboy reminded me of that and, on some odd level, could maybe be seen as therapeutic, even if the true value was really just about enjoying a movie with my friends.
So what's my final verdict on Hellboy? I actually liken it to Spiderman. Andrew Garfield's The Amazing Spiderman, that is. It wasn't really necessary and you can't just redefine an iconic character by giving him a new girlfriend, a cooler haircut and a different lair, but maybe an even better version will come along soon and, if so, I suspect we'll all just forget this movie existed. In the meanwhile, pass the popcorn.

This is sometimes termed graduated wash. Basically, it is the tool to add interest and variety in an area without drawing attention to it through contrast. To use an overall flat wash then the result becomes dull and lifeless. Gradation also applies to shape and texture. Gradated wash means to change from a warm colour to a cool one or from a light tone to a dark one. Tonal and colour gradation are particularly useful for large empty areas of space such as skies and foregrounds. Gradation can also help to increase the sense of distance and space. By gradually decreasing the size of objects, as they recede into the horizon, and by gradually reducing the tonal contrast, you can create the perception that the scene recedes into the distance. Where you need a gradated wash (viz where a sky becomes paler lower down) then apply more water in the mix. Work quickly otherwise it will start to dry out before you have accomplished the task. Keep your board at the 15o angle so that the washes run downwards, or on the diagonal to suggest swirling clouds. As I have stated earlier water colour tends to dry lighter in tone so beware and experiment first, then apply.

Billy Sheehan- Talks About Upcoming New Talas Studio Album
Jimmy Kay from Canada's The Metal Voice spoke to Son's of Apollo, Talas, Ex David Lee Roth Bassist Billy Sheehan in Montreal, Canada on February 3 2020 at the Corona Theater Watch here
Sheehan spoke about the new upcoming Talas Album, being asked to join Van Halen, his David Lee Roth years and the new Sons of Apollo album MMXX. When asked how he measures success today regarding the new Sons of Apollo album "We are receiving positive comments from fans, who have attended the shows and who bought the record, to me that is the indicator we look for. We see a sea of smiling faces at the shows and we talk to people after the shows and they are very pleased. So that is the measure in my mind. Bands don't sell as much as they did in the 70-80-90's but that's ok I never have been that money motivated or success motivated. I just want to play my best and I want everyone to enjoy it" When asked if he would like to will be contribute to the next Sons of Apollo album "Either way for me I just love to play and I love this band we are great friends but sometimes it's just nice to lay back and do what they want you to do. For me it's a challenge to do what what others want cause I do things my way usually. But then you need to throw yourself a curve once in a while and work with someone who wants to do it there way and you have to adapt and change and it will make you a better player. To do something different than what you always do will enrich you and make you a more rounded player. I'm sure I will be contributing a lot more in the future as well to Sons of Apollo. I do write a lot and sometimes it's just nice to sit back."
When asked about the upcoming new studio album of Talas "On the new Talas album we are going to have special guest Johnny Angel and Mitch Perry on guitar and have Jeff Scott Soto hopefully do back vocals and harmonies because Talas opened for Yngwie Malmsteen in 1985 and Soto was on that tour. The band will be Mark Miller on drum, Phil Naro vocals and myself. As for the songs we will be doing songs we never fully recorded over the years. Some songs we will record we have done them on the live Talas album but they were never had a studio version. We have a lot of songs it's going to be a blast to lay them down properly." When asked if he was ever offered to join Van Halen "Three times through the years and I consider it a great honour. However I am torn because I love Michael Anthony and I think he is the best bass player for Van Halen. And as much as I would have love to do that I want to see Michael in the band. I'm not sure why they asked me to join the band Michael is an awesome player and singer and who knows what the situation was. The first time was the tour of Fair Warning we talked about it then, then I spoke about it with David Lee Roth but I mostly spoke about it with Eddie Van Halen in Toronto Canada and then the second time was 1984 Eddie showed me the stage set up we talked abut it then. Then the last time was when I got together with Eddie and Alex Van Halen at their house. " When asked about the status of Mr. Big "No plans at all, someday I would love to do something with Paul and Eric, maybe another drummer or just the three of us. I still love that band and our fans. Who knows? But I would love to do more." Billy Sheehan has signed a deal with Metal Blade Records for the release of a new studio album from TALAS.
Sheehan Played with Talas in the 1970's and 1980's then joined David Lee Roth's band after that formed Mr Big 1989 achieving a Billboard No. 1 single in the USA and 14 other countries with "To Be With You"

A Super TV2 a TV2 Csoport 2012. november 2-án indult, általános szórakoztató televíziócsatornája. A csatorna az RTL Kettő és a Viasat 3 versenytársa.

A csatorna hangja 2012-től 2018-ig Náray Erika volt, jelenlegi hangja Schmidt Andrea.

A csatorna reklámidejét az Atmedia értékesíti.

Története

A csatorna neve Super TV2 lett, de még 2012 elején levédésre kerültek a "TV+", "TV2 Plus", "TV2 Extra" nevek is, ami azt jelenti, hogy akkor még nem döntöttek a névről, de már lehetett tudni, hogy a FEM3 és a PRO4 után új kábelcsatornát indít a TV2, ami azután szinte biztosnak tűnt, hogy a konkurens RTL Klub tulajdonosa bejelentette az RTL II indulását.

A csatornának 2012. július 16-án indult el a hivatalos Facebook oldala, ekkor vált véglegessé a neve. Eredetileg Nagy-Britanniában jegyezték be, de 2016 júliusában a TV2 Csoport átköltöztette az adást Romániába. A fent leírtak révén a műsorokra a magyarnál szigorúbb román szabályozás vonatkozik, és a felügyeletét is a román CNA médiahatóság látja el, noha a tévé magyar nyelvű műsorait Magyarországon készítik és terjesztik. A prémiumcsatorna indítására azért volt szükség, mert a reklámadó és a növekvő televíziópiac (MinDig TV) miatt kevesebben nézik a TV2 műsorát. Műsorában megtalálható volt a megújult Hal a tortán, a TV2 egyes műsorainak előpremierjei, emellett A nagy duett második évadját is ezen a csatornán láthatták a nézők. A csatorna tesztadása 2012. október 10-én indult.

2016. augusztus 29-én a TV2 Csoport nagyszabású portfólióbővítése részeként, a Super TV2 becsatlakozott harmadikként a legnagyobb kereskedelmi tévék közé, és új, felfrissített arculatot kapott, melyet a TV2 Csoport kreatív csapata valósított meg, s a műsorokhoz szorosan kapcsolódik. Ide költözött a Jóban Rosszban, itt voltak láthatók a Star Academy háttérműsorai, és az Édes élet és onnantól már több, mint 4 óra saját gyártású műsor köszönt vissza a képernyőn naponta.
2023. február 1-én megszűnt a HD felbontást jelző logója.

More on Garcia
Got a little more here on Juan Garcia after having transcribed the tape.
In essence, Garcia said he has two options for treatment — have surgery immediately and hope that he could return by mid-season at the earliest, or wait a month and see if the injury begins to heal on its own, which might mean an even earlier return. The danger with the second option is that if it doesn't heal, then he would have to have surgery, and it would be a month later in the process and probably cost him the season.
"There's a 60 percent chance it won't heal," Garcia said.
But Garcia sounded pessimistic that either option would enable him to really do much for the Huskies this year.
"If I wait for that surgery at the end of four weeks and everything doesn't go good, that's the end of that," he said. "So maybe I'll go for surgery so I can say bye to the fans and come in for a play or two and say goodbye to the fans and say I was a Husky football player."
Asked if there was a chance he could return for the beginning of the season, Garcia said "I don't know about that one. Maybe some miracle happens and I get healthy in four weeks. But I don't think I'd be ready to go the first couple of games. I don't know. Maybe. People say I'm the comeback king, maybe I can come back and make the rehab shorter than it is and make the doctors amazed with the stuff I do way before I'm supposed to. So maybe that's what I'm leaning on right now."
While the injury is similar to that of Isaiah Stanback's, Garcia said it's a particularly devestating injury for an offensive linemen.
"Like the doctor said, I'm an O-lineman and I've got to push 250 pounds and push (my) weight and then push a big guy's weight and you're always on your heels and stuff," he said. "So that's what makes this injury bad."
Garcia said the injury is essentially a tear at the bottom of his foot.
"I could have done the top of my foot where it wouldn't have been that big of a deal," he said. "But I had to go mess up the bottom. It's just frustrating. I knew from the moment it happened — it kind of felt like slow motion — I knew it wouldn't be good."
Garcia said the injury happened on a goal-line play.
"The handoff went to the fullback and he got stuffed at the line of scrimmage and I said 'we've got to punch this in,"' he said. "So I hit the line and the linebackers were pushing and then all those guys just jumped on and started pushing the other way and my leg got caught in the rug and my knee started going one way and I just felt it snap, just feeling everything rip. I just knew from the get-go it wasn't going to be good. Maybe if I didn't try to push that guy in for a touchdown (it wouldn't have happened) but that's not my style."
Garcia said he has had trouble sleeping since the injury, frustrated over being hurt again and trying to figure out what he does now.
He said he hopes to have a decision on what course of rehab action to take tomorrow after meeting with coaches today.
"I'm a little sad, a little heart-broken," he said. "But it is what it is."
The injury is especially tough because Garcia made the choice to come back for a sixth season of eligibility when he could have instead been preparing this week for the NFL Draft — analysts say he would have had a chance to be a mid-to-late-round pick.
"That's crossed my mind," Garcia said of second-guessing his decision. "It's going to cross my mind. But I thought I could have been a better player. One of my main goals was to leave the University of Washington as an elite lineman. The O-line has been a question mark and been embarassing (earlier in his career) and then we've kind of been building momentum and I've been taking pride in that, and going into this last year I was just so happy we've got an O-line I was proud about. It just kind of breaks me up that I've got to watch it from the sidelines. … I just had a feeling I could have been special (so) it just feels frustrating."

Edenton, Chowan County
Edenton, Chowan County, January 19, 1825, cover with a manuscript postmark of Edenton used from 1824-1826 and manuscript "Ferry 6" to indicate 6¢ postage was due at destination along with the route marking to be carried by ferry. The cover was posted to the James C. Johnston at Hayes plantation, a distance of only one mile, across Queen Anne's Creek from Edenton. This was the principal plantation of Samuel Johnston, Governor of the North Carolina from 1787 to 1789 and then one of the two first U.S. Senators from North Carolina. Later he gave the plantation to his son, James C. Johnston, who ultimately owned several plantations totaling over 7,834 acres.

Pen canceled Honour's City Post stamp of 1851-58 shows the cover was handled in Charleston by this privately-operated mail and package delivery service, which picked up the letter and carried it to the port of Charleston, where it was placed in a closed mail pouch on the Wilmington & Raleigh Rail Road steamship that carried it to Wilmington and placed it in the U.S. mail there.
Wilmington, New Hanover County, September 6, 1860, envelope with two 3-cents 1857, dull red stamps and a 24-cents 1860, gray stamp paying the 30¢ rate by Prussian Closed Mail from Wilmington to Puschdorf, East Prussia. Wilmington applied a Type 9, 31.5 mm postmark in black and the New York exchange office credited 7¢ to Prussia for this single-rate letter with a red N.YORK AM.PKT postmark.
Chapel Hill, Orange County
Chapel Hill, Orange County, September 13, [1832], folded letter marked for 12½ cents postage due at New Bern. The Chapel Hill postmark is a Type 3A, 27.5 mm black circular datestamp. This postmark with dotted inner circle and partial dotted outer circle was used only in 1832. The cover was addressed to William Gaston, a lawyer, legislator, congressman, and jurist. In 1835, while in Raleigh, he wrote the words to "The Old North State," which was made the State song in 1927.

Arthroscopic subscapularis tendon repair: Technique and preliminary results
Arthroscopy. May-Jun 2002;18(5):454-63. doi: 10.1053/jars.2002.30648.
Stephen S Burkhart 1 , Armin M Tehrany
1 Department of Orthopaedics, The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, The San Antonio Orthopaedic Group, San Antonio, Texas 78258, USA.
DOI: 10.1053/jars.2002.30648
Purpose: Our objective was to evaluate the preliminary results of 25 consecutive arthroscopic subscapularis tendon repairs.
Type of study: Case series.
Methods: All 25 shoulders had longer than 3 months follow-up, with an average of 10.7 months (range, 3 to 48 months). The average age was 60.7 years (range, 41 to 78 years). The average time from onset of symptoms to surgery was 18.9 months (range, 1 to 72 months). The shoulders were evaluated using a modified UCLA score, Napoleon test, lift-off test, radiographs, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Indications for surgery included clinical and/or MRI evidence of a rotator cuff tear. An arthroscopic suture anchor technique devised by the senior author (S.S.B.) was used for repair.
Results: UCLA scores increased from a preoperative average of 10.7 to a postoperative average of 30.5 (P <.0001). By UCLA criteria, excellent and good results were obtained in 92% of patients, with 1 fair and 1 poor result. Forward flexion increased from an average 96.3 degrees preoperatively to an average 146.1 degrees postoperatively (P =.0016). Eight of 9 patients with a positive Napoleon test had complete tears of the subscapularis. All 7 patients with a negative Napoleon test had a tear of the upper half only. The lift-off test could not be performed reliably due to pain or restricted motion in 19 of the 25 patients. Eight patients had isolated tears of the subscapularis. The remaining 17 patients had associated rotator cuff tears with an average total tear size of 5 x 8 cm. Ten patients had proximal migration of the humerus preoperatively. Eight of these 10 patients had durable reversal of proximal humeral migration following surgery. These 8 patients improved their overhead function from a preoperative "shoulder shrug" with attempted elevation of the arm to functional overhead use of the arm postoperatively.
Conclusions: (1) The senior author has been able to consistently perform arthroscopic repair of torn subscapularis tendons, with good and excellent results, in 92% of patients. (2) The Napoleon test is useful in predicting not only the presence of a subscapularis tear, but also its general size. (3) Combined tears of the subscapularis, supraspinatus, and infraspinatus tendons are frequently associated with proximal humeral migration and loss of overhead function. Arthroscopic repair of these massive tears can produce durable reversal of proximal humeral migration and restoration of overhead function.

Threatened Swedish Artist Reportedly Dead in Road Accident
Sunday, 03 October 2021 11:00 PM EDT
STOCKHOLM (AP) — The Swedish artist Lars Vilks, who had lived under police protection since his 2007 sketch of the Prophet Muhammad with a dog's body brought death threats, died from a traffic accident Sunday, Swedish news media reported.
The accident reportedly involved a truck colliding with a civilian police car in which Lars Vilks and his police protection were traveling, news media said.
The Swedish news agency TT said police had confirmed that Vilks, 75, was traveling in the car with two police officers, and the newspaper Dagens Nyheter said the artist's partner confirmed his death.
The cause of the accident was under investigation.
Vilks was largely unknown outside Sweden before his Muhammad drawing. At home, he was best known for building a sculpture made of driftwood in a nature reserve in southern Sweden without permission, triggering a lengthy legal battle. He was fined, but the seaside sculpture — a jumble of wood nailed together in chaotic fashion — draws tens of thousands of visitors a year.
Vilks' life changed radically 13 years ago after he drew a sketch of Muhammad with a dog's body. Dogs are considered unclean by conservative Muslims, and Islamic law generally opposes any depiction of the prophet, even favorable, for fear it could lead to idolatry.
Al-Qaida put a bounty on Vilks' head. In 2010, two men tried to burn down his house in southern Sweden. Last year, a woman from Pennsylvania pleaded guilty in a plot to try to kill him.

Mainland capitals, at last, join Melbourne in BigPond 100mps cable
By	Peter Dinham
BigPond cable customers in all mainland capitals and the Gold Coast are set to join Melbourne with speed upgrades to their broadband services, with download speeds of up to 100 megabits per second into their homes and for sharing across multiple users.
Melbourne customers of BigPond got their speed upgrades two years ago and today Telstra announced that customers in Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Perth will soon be able to take up plans offering the increased download speeds.
The upgrade is expected to be available to Perth customers from the end of this month, and for Adelaide, Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sydney customers from 12 December.
Telstra Director of Fixed Voice and Broadband, John Chambers, said the upgrade provides 'additional capacity to Telstra's network and will provide one of the fastest broadband services available in Australia today.'
'With speeds of up to a maximum of 100 Mbps, BigPond Ultimate Cable means the whole household can do more things at the same time, like downloading movies on the computer while streaming internet radio on the T-Hub - all at high speed.
'BigPond customers also enjoy no peak or off peak restrictions and peace of mind that they won't incur any additional usage charges - as speeds are slowed once the monthly usage allowance is reached,' Chambers said.
According to Chambers, the volume of data consumed over the average BigPond fixed internet connection more than doubled in the last financial year and the upgrade would help meet the growth in broadband-connected devices and online media use in the home.
Chambers said that under the new plans, eligible customers can access BigPond Ultimate Cable for as little as $88 a month for 24 months on a bundle that includes a 200GB monthly data allowance and a home phone (min Cost: $2112 plus usage) as well as a Wi-Fi modem and free professional installation of the service.
Existing eligible BigPond Turbo and BigPond Elite cable customers will be able to upgrade to a BigPond Ultimate Cable plan without the need to sign up to a new contract when they purchase a BigPond Ultimate Cable self install Wi-Fi modem kit (RRP $149). BigPond Cable Ultimate, however, is only available to customers with 13 digit account numbers.

When Did Clowns Get So Terrifying?
by Karena Schrempp Dakota County, Minnesota Apr 6, 2017
http://weburbanist.com/
Entertainment is one of the top industries in America, and frankly, clowns do have a spot. The 2016 Clown Panic definitely reaffirmed their existence. Surprisingly, Ranker's "List of Famous Clowns" show that 9 out of the 10 of most famous clowns have had no association with murder. That said, number 2 on that list was "John Wayne Gacy… an American serial killer and rapist who was convicted of the sexual assault and murder of a minimum of 33 teenage boys and young men". Which raises the question: at what point in history did clowns transition from being quirky entertainers to blood-thirsty maniacs?
Short answer: They've always been that way. Long answer: well... sort of.
Coulrophobia has become very common in popular culture the past few decades and doesn't seem to be fading anytime soon. So, when and why did it become a social norm?
The article "The History and Psychology of Clowns Being Scary" by Linda Rodriguez McRobbie (smithsonianmag.com) states that clowns have been around since 2500 BCE, and "have always had a dark side". McRobbie explains this by stating that clowns by definition are troublemakers, however that doesn't mean they were intended to give you nightmares. You can thank Charles Dickens for that. According to the Smithsonian article Charles Dickens was the first to introduce the image of the scary clown in his 1836 novel "The Pickwick Papers", due to his mandatory editions of the writings of a deceased (and unfortunate) performer. What Dickens did differently in this novel was make the audience wonder what was behind all the acting and makeup.
The next Century was a gradual decline in the presence of clowns and entertainers. Clowns, along with numerous other acts, were most commonly found in the circus (The Most Resilient Show on Earth). The Depression and job shortage lead to the gradual decline in circus popularity. People went to the circus looking for jobs, yet there was no one to see the show. You see the problem. However, with the gaining popularity of television, 'clowning around' took a new turn in the entertainment industry by morphing itself into the comedy sector of the industry, bringing in a new wave of comedians and entertainers, like "Chucko the Clown" and "Bozo's Circus". As the 20th century began it's later half, the clowns began to take a turn for the worse.
The 80's, as it turns out, was the resurrection for the evil clown. Steven Spielberg's Poltergeist brought back the symbolic evil clown, and it hasn't gone away since. "Killer Clowns from Outer Space" followed "Poltergeist" in 1988, and the book-turned-movie "It" arrived soon after in 1990. The Evil Clown has carried on its legacy into the 2000's and beyond, making its way into American Horror Story: Freak Show and the Poltergeist 2015 remake. The clown horror "It" is also making a reappearance later this year, on September 8th (watch the trailer here).
Jokesters, pranksters, jesters, whatever you want to call them: clowns are weird. However, it's safe to say that not all of them are out to get you. Clowning around isn't a terrible thing to do, as long as it doesn't lead to someone else's murder.
So, just, be careful.

Why Kinder Morgan Inc Could Be a Gold Mine for Income Investors
By Matthew DiLallo Fool.com
Once upon a time, Kinder Morgan (NYSE: KMI) was a dividend lover's dream. From its re-emergence on the public scene in 2011 through the middle of 2015, the company offered investors a yield that averaged around 4%. Further, upon rolling up its master limited partnerships (MLPs) in 2014, the company had plans to increase the payout by 10% annually through 2020.
However, due to the oil market downturn, the dividend came crashing down in late 2015 when the company made the painful decision to slash the payout so it would have more cash to finance growth while it shored up its financial situation.That said, with Kinder Morgan's finances heading in the right direction, and several growth projects about to enter service, the company could significantly increase its dividend later this year. It's a catalyst that could make this stock a gold mine for income investors.
Slowly making progress

Kinder Morgan spent all last year working to improve its balance sheet and source outside funding for growth projects. As a result, the company pushed its leverage ratio down from 5.6 times net debt-to-adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) at the end of 2015 to 5.3 times at the end of last year. It did so by generating excess cash flow after paying a smaller dividend and entirely financing growth capital with internally generated cash flow, as well as completing several strategic partnerships.
Those strategic alliances have continued in 2017, with the company recently securing a financing partner for a portion of its Elba Liquefaction Project. Like its previous deal, the company not only received a reimbursement payment for a part of the capital already spent on the project, as well as a financing commitment for a percentage of future capital expenditures (capex), but Kinder Morgan received a premium payment for the value it created thus far. This incremental cash put the company one step closer to its leverage target.
That said, the pipeline giant still has one more large hurdle to overcome, which is finding a financing solution for its Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion project in Canada. The company is exploring a variety of options for that project, including seeking joint venture partners, as well as a potential initial public offering (IPO) of that project, or its entire Canadian business. Once the company has a solution in hand, it will free up a significant amount of future cash flow that it can redirect toward shareholder distributions, likely a substantial dividend increase.
Drilling down into the numbers
Kinder Morgan has a high visibility that it will generate $4.46 billion of distributable cash flow this year, which works out to $1.99 per share. While that's down from 2015's peak of $2.14 per share due to weaker commodity prices and asset sales, earnings should rebound over the next few years as the company completes projects in its backlog.
That said, even using 2017's number, the company can pay a much higher dividend starting next year, assuming it finds a partner for Trans Mountain. Several analysts, including Goldman Sachs and Raymond James, believe that the company could boost its dividend between 100% to 130% as early as 2018. That's not a crazy idea because a 100% increase in the dividend would push its payout from $0.50 per share annually to $1.00 per share, which would equate to roughly 50% of its cash flow.
That 50% payout level would put it in line with those of top-tier energy infrastructure companies Enbridge (NYSE: ENB) and TransCanada (NYSE: TRP). Enbridge, for example, anticipates maintaining a conservative payout ratio of 50% to 60% of cash flow, even as it aims to grow its dividend by a 10% to 12% annual rate through 2024. Meanwhile, as the charts on the following slide shows, TransCanada has typically paid out less than 50% of its funds generated from operations while delivering steady dividend growth:
Source: TransCanada Investor Presentation.
Because it has such a large cushion and a huge backlog of growth projects, TransCanada recently accelerated its dividend increases, withplans to boost its payout by 8% to 10% annually through 2020.
Given the plans of its rivals, Kinder Morgan has several options. It could choose to deliver a big initial increase of around 100%, and then grow the payout at the same rate cash flow increases in future years. Alternatively, the company could opt for a lower increase initially, just so that it can increase the payout by a higher rate in the coming years. Either way, it is growing more likely that Kinder Morgan will deliver significant future dividend growth for investors who purchase the stock this year.
Investor takeaway
Kinder Morgan's dividend growth plan took a major detour as a result of the oil market downturn. However, the company is getting close to being in the position to return more cash to investors, with the growing likelihood of a significant increase after it secures financing for Trans Mountain. It's a catalyst that income investors won't want to miss.

I love family photography, and it's particularly fun to explore sibling dynamics. Maddie and Bella did not disappoint!
Our main objective was portraits and headshots of each girl individually, but it was fun to get a few of them together too.
We did a mix of studio portraits, and outdoors. It was about 900 degrees outside, and these gals couldn't have been more patient. What troopers! Fortunately, we weren't outside for long.
Maddie and Bella are among the people I've met through Instagram – I'm @daisybeatty feel free to say howdy!
I love these shy smiles below.
For reference, here's a photo I took of Madison from a shoot we did during the "arctic blast" this winter.
Maybe one of these days we'll get to work together in moderate weather. Dare to dream!

The question of food on board an Arctic whaler is a matter of some mystery. While there are accounts of the proceedings on board ship in the act of pursuing and catching whales, little is known about the lives of the whalers themselves. William Scoresby Jr. documents the provisions loaded onto a whale ship in preparation for the fishery: vast quantities of salt pork, hams, and beef, as well as bread, and potatoes, but little else. Variety might be had in the form of whale meat, fish, or seabirds. Scoresby notes that the price of Shetland oysters doubled when ships were nearby.
Take some salt pork that has been boiled, cut it into thin slices, an equal quantity of potatoes, pared and sliced thin, make a good crust, cover the dish lay a layer of meat seasoned with a little pepper, and a layer of potatoes, then a layer of meat, a layer of potatoes, and so on, till your pie is full. Season it with pepper, when it is full, lay some butter on the top, and fill your dish above half full of soft water. Close your pie up and bake it in a gentle oven.
Take a gallon of strong stale beer, one pound of anchovies washed from the pickle, a pound of shalots peeled, half an ounce of mace, half an ounce of cloves, a quarter of an ounce of whole pepper, three or four large races of ginger, two quarts of the large mushroom flaps rubbed to pieces. Cover all this close and let it simmer till it is half wasted then strain it through a flannel bag, let it stand till it is quite cold, then bottle it. You may carry it to the Indies. A spoonful of this to a pound of fresh butter melted makes a fine fish sauce or in the room of gravy sauce. The stronger and staler the beer is, the better the catchup will be.

This is a Moke that was sent down from Katherine to us last year. The customer wanted us to make it into a Moke Ute. The car went through our usual stringent routine, of stripping the car, removing rust and welding in replacement panels, then off to the paint shop for body work, prep and 2 pac paint, then back to our workshop to be meticulasly put back together. The tub on the back is super cute as well as practical. The owner is very happy with the result!

Click on the logo for top hints and tips from BT on fundraising effectively.
We want you to enjoy your party but we want everyone to remember what and why we are celebrating? We are commemorating a lifetime of service and dedication by Her Majesty The Queen to communities across the UK and Commonwealth.
The Patron's Lunch on The Mall is a not-for-profit event that will raise money for The Patron's Fund. All event profits and money donated to the fund will support the charitable organisations within the UK and across the Commonwealth to which Her Majesty The Queen acts as a Patron.
It is our hope that local 'Patron's Lunches' will help raise money for their own communities and local initiatives.

LAWRENCE - With the presidential election just a few weeks away, the University of Kansas Libraries will celebrate the opening of "The American Election: A focus on scholarship and scholarly collection," a new exhibition featuring KU collections and research about U.S. politics, politicians, elections and campaigns. An opening reception will be held at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 18 at the third floor west of Watson Library, and an online component can be found at www.lib.ku.edu/electionexhibit.
The exhibition, which highlights research from KU faculty and students as well as neighboring cultural heritage institutions, illustrates the essential role research institutions play in aiding scholarly research and output.
Amalia Monroe-Gulick, a political science subject specialist for KU Libraries, said the exhibit encourages future study of American politics and the election process by showing all that libraries can offer researchers.
"The American election is an expansive research area that spans not just time, but subject areas as well," Monroe-Gulick said. "KU Libraries and all of the exhibit partners provide access to essential materials for researching this broad, interdisciplinary topic."
The exhibition, located in the Library Gallery on the third floor of Watson Library, also includes photos of independent party political pamphlets from the Wilcox collection and traditional library materials, such as books and journal articles, which cover political science, communication studies, women's studies, history and more. Examples of electronic databases will also be present to represent the changes in how research is conducted in the technological era.
"We hope to pique the interest of visitors, because we're only highlighting a bit of our expansive collection of materials," said Sarah Goodwin Thiel, chair of the library's exhibition program. "We're using this exhibition to showcase the wide variety of materials available to researchers across campus and around the globe, while promoting the world-class research conducted with these materials."
Contributors to the collection include Spencer Museum of Art, the University Press of Kansas, the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics Archive, the Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum and the Harry S. Truman Library and Museum. The exhibit will remain in Watson Library until January 18, 2013.
The exhibition opening Oct. 18 begins with a reception at 5:30 p.m. with music by Til Willis. At 6:30 p.m., Burdett Loomis, professor of political science, will deliver "Distance and Intimacy Art, Fiction and Politics." For more information about the event, which is free and open to the public, contact Rachel Karwas at 785-864-8961 or rkarwas@ku.edu.

Password Protect plugin- when does the password expire?
Is there a time limit on how long it caches the password once you have typed it in? I have it on a site but am wondering if there is a control somewhere where I can have it log them out after 15 minutes of inactivity so that they have to enter it again to access the content.
The plugin itself has a cookie time of 10 days (you can see this if you look at line 93 of protect-selected-content/protect-selected-content.php), but as for something like what you're wanting, that isn't possible presently, though I will say that it's an interesting idea.
I've moved this over to the Features and Feedback section, so that this can be voted on by the others here in the community for inclusion in a future release.
I should note though, that as we're presently focusing on new releases, it's going to take a fair amount of votes for this to be considered.
Thanks Michael- so when you enter the password correctly once it takes 10 days before you have to re-enter the password to access the content? Am I understanding that correctly?
Change 864000 to anything in seconds. So if you want 15 mins, then you need to use 900 in there.

It is very sweet and pretty, but I was more or less looking for something that would keep the party going.
This is the greatest album -Stompin' at the Savoy!
