August Burns Red
Event on 2012-02-08 19:00:00
Event Description:
They look like clean-cut suburban kids, but when August Burns Red plug in to play, they unleash a precise, powerfully emotional metalcore onslaught that has won them a loyal following among fans of adventurous hard rock. August Burns Red was formed in Lancaster, PA, in 2003, and took their name from a local news story in which a troubled teenage girl set fire to a pet dog belonging to her former boyfriend. Featuring vocalist Jon Hershey, guitarists J.B. Brubaker and Brent Rambler, bassist Jordan Tuscan, and drummer Matt Greiner, the group recorded their first demo in 2004, when some of the members were still in high school; later that year, a local independent label, CI Records, released the group's first EP, Looks Fragile After All. Steady touring and positive response to the EP led to the group being signed to noted Christian metal label Solid State Records, who released August Burns Red's first full-length album, Thrill Seeker, in the fall of 2005. Thrill Seeker also marked the recording debut for vocalist Josh McManness, who replaced the departing Jon Hershey. McManness's stay with August Burns Red proved to be short, and when their second album, Messengers, reached stores in June 2007, the group had yet another lead singer, Jake Luhrs; Messengers marked the first time that the full band collaborated on lyrics as well as music for the album's 11 songs. Not long after Messengers was released, CI Records reissued Looks Fragile After All in a special edition with new cover artwork and a bonus DVD. Another look at the session for the album, Lost Messengers: The Outtakes, appeared from Solid State in 2009, along with a new studio project, Constellations. The band toured heavily before settling into the studio the following year with producer Jason Suecof. In 2011, August Burns Red released their fourth studio album, Leveler. - All Music GuideVenue Details

Factors Influencing The Dividend Policy—some


FACTORS INFLUENCING THE DIVIDEND POLICY—SOME THOUGHTS


Some of the key factors which influence dividend pay-out of a firm are delineated below.

Traditional theories have postulated that a dividend decision is solely a function of the firm. While earnings are important determinant for the dividend decision, the role of liquidity cannot be ignored. Dividend pay out entails cash outflow for the firm. Hence the quantum of dividends proposed to be distributed critically depends on the liquidity position of the firm. In practice, firms often face cash crunch in spite of having good earnings. Such firms may not be in a position to declare dividends despite their profitability.

            Another key determinant to the dividend decision is the requirement of capital by the firm. Normally firms tend to have low payout if profitable investment opportunities exist and conversely firms tend to resort to high pay-out if profitable investment opportunities are lacking. Generally, firms operating in industries which are in the growth phase of the product life cycle are characterized by high dependence on retained earnings. On the other hand, firms operating in industries which are in the maturity and decline stage normally distribute a larger proportion of their earnings as dividends.

            A company which has easy access to external sources of finance  can afford to be more liberal in its dividend pay-out. The dividend policy of such firms is relatively independent of its financing decisions. Firms having little or no access to external financing have rather limited flexibility in their dividend decisions.







Issue of securities to raise capital in lieu of retained earnings involves flotation costs. These costs include fees payable to the merchant bankers, underwriting commission, brokerage, listing fees, marketing expenses, etc. Moreover smaller the size of the issue, higher will be the flotation costs as a percentage of amounts mobilized. Further there are indirect flotation costs in the form of underpricing. Normally issue of shares is made at a discount to the prevailing market price. The cost of external financing has an influence on the dividend policy.

            Further issue of shares (unless done through rights issue) results in dilution of the stake of the existing shareholders. On the other hand, reliance on retained earnings has no impact on the controlling interest. Hence companies vulnerable to hostile takeovers refer retained earnings rather than fresh issue of securities. In practice, this strategy can be a double edged sword. The niggardly pay-out policy of the company may result in low market valuation of the company vis-à-vis its intrinsic value. Consequently the company becomes a more attractive target and is in the danger of being acquired.

The preference of the shareholders has a strong influence on the dividend policy of the firm. A firm tends to have a high pay-out ratio if the shareholders have a strong preference towards current dividends. On the other hand, a firm resorts to retained earnings if the shareholders exhibit a clear tilt towards capital gains.

The protective covenants in bond indentures or loan agreements often include restrictions pertaining to distribution of earnings. These conditions are incorporated to preserve the ability of the issuer/borrower to service the debt. These covenants limit the flexibility of the company in determining its dividend policy.

 

            The incidence of taxation on the firm and the shareholders has a bearing on the dividend policy. India levies a 12.5% tax on the amount of distributed profits. This tax is a strong fiscal disincentive on dividend distribution. These dividends are totally tax-free in the hands of the shareholders. The capital gains (long-term) are taxed at 20%.

            The earnings of a firm may fluctuate wildly between various time periods. Most firms do not like to have an erratic dividend pay-out in line with their varying earnings. They try to maintain stability in their dividend policy. Stability does not mean that the dividends do not vary over a period of time. It only indicates that the previous dividends have a positive correlation with the current dividends. In the long run, the dividends have to be invariably adjusted to synchronize with the earnings. However the short-term volatility in earnings need not be fully reflected in dividends.

Avoiding Roofing Repair Scams


Avoiding Roofing Repair Scams


In a May 2009 report, the "Denver Post" reported that "400 Coloradoans [had been] taken in [a] roof-repair scam." This article shed light on a problem that unsuspecting homeowners across the country face every single day: Not all contractors-roofing or otherwise-are who they claim to be.

Sad but true, consumers must take a proactive stance and investigate the (so-called) professionals they hire before putting down a cash deposit, or worse, paying in full for a home repair upfront. Of course, faced with an emergency situation like a leaky roof in the midst of a snowy January or a downpouring April, such detective work often falls by the wayside. In a rush to get the job done, many a homeowner will fall for what might otherwise present itself as an obvious money-robbing scheme.

In the case of the scammed Coloradoans, a roofing company approached "residents about inspecting their roof for possible damage, according to a news release from the Sheriff's Department." In other words, the victimized individuals were sought out instead of doing the seeking, thereby giving them plenty of opportunity to do their research before swallowing the crafty bait hook, line and sinker.





Here's how the roofing repair scam played out.

1. A representative from the alleged roof repairer "asks the homeowner to sign a release prior to inspecting the roof, explaining the release is a normal, routine procedure."

2. When signed by the homeowner, the form allows the scamming roofing contractor "to act as an agent for the homeowner regarding the roof."

3. "Once workers inspect the roof and find damage, they inform the homeowner that their homeowner's insurance will cover the repairs."

4. The roofing scam artist then "instructs the homeowner to ask their insurance company to have an adjuster come to the home to estimate the cost of the repairs."

5. The insurance company performs the estimate and "sends a check for the repair work."

6. Once the roofing scammers convince the victim to sign "the check over to [them] to begin repair work," they slink away without ever completing the repairs.

How can you avoid become the victim of a roof repair scam like this one? Hire a professional roofing contractor who can offer proven experience, a written estimate and worry-free installation. To make sure you're choosing the best roof repair company, arm yourself with a checklist before you sign a contract ... no matter how desperate you are or how urgent the repair work is.

At a minimum, that checklist should answer the following questions.
1. Does the roofing contractor have a good reputation?
2. Does the roofing contractor have adequate insurance coverage?
3. Does the roofing contractor know, explain and comply with local building codes?

4. Does the roofing contractor commit to supervise the job during all phases of work and inspect it completely when finished?

If the answer to any of these questions is no, stop and reconsider hiring them. The best way to vindicate yourself against a scam artist is not to become a victim in the first place.
