unrated-g said: The other thing is we still have no idea exactly what happened or how, other than the triple debunked "forced out" IGN report. And given how I've seen these things go in the past, and at my current job, we just don't know either side of anything…
No, it's true that we don't really know either side of anything and it's likely we never will. Maybe someone at Sony just didn't like what was happening and ND had to bend a little to their will to keep their relationship with the company in line with what it has been and Hennig just wasn't okay with that. Maybe it was an in-house decision. Maybe Amy Hennig started a cult in the basement of the Santa Monica studio building and ritualistically sacrificed seventeen interns and ND and/or Sony was like 'Amy, look. We had a deal that you could only sacrifice fifteen interns per fiscal year. You've gone too far.'
But it doesn't really matter what happened. What matters is that Amy Hennig left over creative differences and, as the creative director of the franchise, it's still pretty crappy that she didn't get to see it through to the end. Because literally the only version of this that is okay is Amy Hennig being like 'you know what, I love these characters but I have better things to do so I'm going to step back' and I think all of us know how invested she is in the franchise and I, at least, feel I can say with a cetain level of certainty that she didn't just wake up one morning and go 'you know what? Naaah.'
But what do I know.
small note to anyone that might've sent me emails this month: gmail has given me issues with my spam folder and I'm having to go back and comb through it all to resolve them (that's a lot of mail to scan) please don't feel bad about emailing me again to make sure I got a copy, but if not I ought to have tracked down all wayward mail within the next few days.
It's quiet; the calm before the storm in the back of that long, sleek black town car. Cutter can practically hear the space someone will soon be very angry in -like the smell of ozone before it rains.
Absolutely no one speaks on drive from the airstrip so the only sound is the vibration of the car's wheels on the pavement. If he closed he eyes, he would know instinctively where they were by the sound of asphalt, paving stones, cobblestone, back to asphalt. He spends the whole trip to the underground carefully constructing and dismissing escape routes he'll take once they've reached their destination; the closer they get, the more knotted his stomach becomes. He can't quite pinpoint why.
There's things to be done, which is how he'll excuse himself. He'll point out that he's got two chapters to cipher through by tomorrow afternoon and he doesn't have time to play witness to whatever knock out, drag down fight Talbot and Frazer are planning to have. Charlie thinks, very secretly - the smallest thought so it won't show anywhere on his face - that he might try to slip away and call Nate. Hell, Sully even.
—(It's early enough in the day. There's no reason to think they won't answer this time.)—
But when the car's parked, Frazer slides out of the sedan's backseat like a snake dropping from a branch. She waits until they're all outside the car before she says, almost dismissively, "Well that went well," to Talbot across the top of the car.
A muscle in the man's cheek jumps as he sets his jaw. He closes the sedan door and moves around the rear bumper of the car. Charlie follows him with his eyes from where he's standing at Frazer's heel (which is a matter of happenstance, not habit) but that doesn't actually make him prepared for when Talbot rounds to their side and casually, like he's been thinking about it since before they even left Singapore, grabs him by the throat and forces him back against the side of the car.
"Talbot!" Frazer shouts, but only because Talbot has a knife. In the pause her voice breeds, Charlie punches Talbot so hard he can feel the shock of it go right up through his knuckles and elbow, lodging in his shoulder.
It gets Talbot off him anyway.
"What the fuck's that all about?" Charlie demands, closing in on him as Talbot staggers back. His nose is bleeding. There's blood all over his mouth and chin, staining the collar of his expensive, pressed, beautiful white shirt.
Talbot's looking at him, but then he's not: he's looking past him, across his shoulder to where Frazer likely still is. He drops the knife, spreads his hands. Lets his nose bleed freely. "You did nothing, Cutter," he says. Charlie doesn't know if it's a personal attack or not - some comment on his character or how he performed on the job (and he did well, hadn't he? Fucking hell, he'd smashed that poor bastard's face in because he'd been told to and if that isn't enough to earn some respect, to earn some trust, he doesn't know what is). Whatever it is, it's offensive so he goes for him: reaches for the lapels of Talbot's jacket. He's going to get him under his arm, punch the side of his head until the man sags. He shouldn't have dropped the knife, Cutter thinks.
Frazer's needle lodging in the side of his neck stings. He winces, nose wrinkling. Lip pulling back. He twists away from under her hand and Talbot steps out of the way so he won't get caught by Charlie's shoulder.
There's a moment there, taking three steps back from them, that Charlie can almost close his hands on something - how the taste in his mouth is familiar, how his neck's peppered with small scars he's convinced himself was a bad fall on gravel or something like it, but then it's sliding away and his fists are empty. He slowly lowers himself, breathing heavy - crouches to touch the ground and steady himself off it. Or off the sedan's bumper. The driver must still be there, the keys still in the ignition. The tail lights are still on.
The red glows hot on his skin. He squints past it as Frazer moves in, looking past her to where Talbot is mopping at his bloody nose with his sleeve.
"That was stupid," Talbot says.
Frazer's hand falls on the back of Cutter's neck, heavy like a something he'd need a key to get out of. Yes," she bites back. "It was."
Charlie gets the distinct feeling she's not talking to him.
And the TL;DR continues today with:
Day 2. Male or Female Shepard? Why?
Female Shepard, always.
"But Abby, have you even played Broshep?" Yes, though to be fair not all the way through to the end of ME3 and my default argument is because I feel that Jennifer Hale really does do such a superior job to Broshep's VA that it seems ridiculous to do anything BUT play Shepard as female. But there are other reasons for it too like how I think it's significant that you can choose to make whatever kind of Shepard you want, and how amazing it is to have a female character cast as the hero in a science fiction epic. How having Shepard be a she creates all these wonderful storytelling opportunities that feel fresh and re-purposed. How, in a game about the cyclical nature of history and how small changes can radically shift context, a female cast in the traditionally male protagonist's role in a story about duty and honor and self sacrifice and the lengths to which a person goes to save a universe that doesn't necessarily love or respect them at all times is not only extremely special in terms of 'noteworthy female characters in video gaming' ways, but also really exciting in terms of character reflecting core narrative storytelling elements.
Because Abby expressed everything I could want to say for day 2!
Favorite game of the series:
Hoo boy. That is a rough question to start with, namely because in my opinion 2 & 3 are on some very equal ground. I'll start by saying despite my love of 2, there were areas where it was deeply lacking, and despite the beautiful story in 3, visually I have some heavy issues.
But I'll start in order:
@caffeinated-zombie @blueinkalchemy @moriarzipan @glorious-pc-gaming-master-race @yourbloodyworld @royalazure @kaiharuh @emikomaxwell @si1houetted @gamesanddoodles @notalickofsense @alittlethor
I'm gonna go through and thank you all once I have the time, but seriously, thank you guys for the wishes and kind words; they mean so much to me right now. I know I'm not around as much as I'd like to be, but I appreciate the chance to be a part of your lives and for all the interactions (direct or indirect) that we have.
You've made my day, seriously.
her name is avali & she is my best friend!! i have known her for five years and throughout that span of time she has been unfaltering in her kindness and support. she's the kind of friend who hugs you when you need it — but who tells the truth when you need that, too.
i've spent so many nights doubting myself, crying in fear and misery, and avali has always been there to hold my hand. she makes a person feel wanted, talented, and interesting, and she gives out encouragement wherever and whenever she can.
we've done a lot together, baby girl. no matter happens, you can always call on me. i love you. thank you for bringing so much beauty into my life.
Lyn I don't know what to say I love you so much…;; Whatever I've done for you, you've done for me twice over and I will never forget that. You're my best friend and thank you, so much, for everything.
I have not, though I do have a quarian Kasumi that could use posting sometime soon! I'll see what I can do about this week.
ugh baby thank you so much I ADORE YOU, I HOPE YOU KNOW THAT <3
Sometimes it's so easy to get swept up in worrying about the big picture that you forget to enjoy the moment. I hope you all remember to enjoy right now, and the fact that there are always people in this world who care about you.
He can't pinpoint the exact moment when his opinion changed. Initially, he hadn't known what to think of the voice on the radio, and he knew even less when that voice suddenly said his name. And kept saying it, often accompanied by words rarely applied to him—or anyone—so publicly; words of hyperbolic adoration; words typically confined to a diary with a heart-shaped lock and a secret place under the bed. The dreams of a teenager, sighed to the entire population.
Carlos listened to these Trapper Keeper exaltations while working in his lab. Night Vale teemed with samples to analyze: scales from a lizard dropped by the glow cloud; skin cells from a man with a sentient rash; a feather from one of the angels. A scrap of fabric from the hood of a hooded figure, found snagged on the fence of the dog park and quickly snatched up when the wind pulled it free. Carlos had that scrap locked in a black, steel reinforced box; it hummed irritably at him whenever he tried to handle it.
Night Vale words that warm my heart.
I'm getting set up with a side blog— something less personal and more official for reporting opinions on games, art, designs and the like— and I figured that this is a great opportunity to hear what sorts of things you would like to hear me chit chat about. (Game opinions, concept art, industry information or the process of how art is pieced together, convention reports for things like Blizzcon, etc etc) I'd also be willing to share step by step tutorials on how I work if that's something that seems interesting, in addition to resources and reference materials for my fellow art students/ enthusiasts.
So if you have any opinions on it, I'd love to hear them, and if not, well, that's all right; I'll let it slide just this once.
Also don't forget that I am much easier to touch base with and talk to via my Twitter (bless you, reliable Twitter notifications) and that I'll be hosting a tiny contest at the beginning of next month!
Carlos stands before the door, thinking. It's a standard issue door, by all accounts: made of oak, carved with simple panels, nicked and weather-beaten in some places. The door is not covered with esoteric sigils, smears of dried blood, or vague warnings scrawled in a dead language. It is merely a door, the kind a person might expect on any number of residential American streets.
But Carlos is in the desert, the neighborhood only of small skittering lizards and distant, howling coyotes. There's a cactus about three feet to the left of him, and a bird he can't categorize – a vulture, maybe, but much smaller and with several more talons than usual – perches on top of it. The bird stares at Carlos with intense, expectant interest.
The doorknob isn't anything special, either. It is exactly what anyone would imagine, were they to picture the average doorknob. It is not ornate, it is not crafted from ancient, ominously glowing metal. Carlos notes that there's no apparent keyhole on either side of the door; that, in fact, he cannot tell which way the thing opens at all.
Numerous chains are looped around the door, placed there by the farmer, John Peters. Carlos thinks he could remove them without much trouble.
The wind unsettles the sand around his shoes (sensible boots in a drab color; appropriate for desert walks), kicks up an eddy that scatters sand grains across the lapel of his lab coat. This wind is the only sound in his ears.
Aside from the knocking, of course.
Because I need to eat. :')
I'd like to say first and foremost that these commissions will be slow while I finish up school (1-2 months), but if you don't mind bearing with me, I am offering 20 slots for 15$ black and white bust sketches 25$ color character busts AND, making a comeback after forever and a day, full illustrations!
Instructions/ information below the cut. v
i spent 2night cuddling avali and forcing her to listen to night vale ◡‿◡✿
It was such a good night in the middle of such a busy week. c':
Thank you so much, but no!
—just kidding, she and Charlie are my absolute favorites and I'm sure it's painfully obvious. It is also entirely Prosodi's fault.
That said, I do have a blast drawing everyone else from Uncharted by default. They're definitely a cast that I will never tire of and never forget. c:
Just a small notice that as I am finishing the last few commissions from last session, I will be reopening commissions later tomorrow after the last set is completed— and this time both full commissions and sketch commissions with be available for purchase!
Thanks to everyone for being so patient with me while I work through school and travel, and for all your support and kind words. :) <3
((unimportant sidenote: I also joined that horribly addictive dragon game Flight Rising, and though I don't really have time to play, if anyone would like to add me my account is here! Ten points to anyone that can accurately guess where all my dragon names came from.))
Ahaha yes that was me! I was playing with iamthespacecadet and we had a blast going up against you. (Shame on you, Firefly.) I'll keep an eye out for you in the future. :)
I can't stress this enough: there's going to be spoilers for both Telltale's The Walking Dead and Naughty Dog's The Last of Us in this post. This is also going to be really TL;DR so uh. Sorry.
So I think there's this is a really rich ground for comparison here (and we could bring Bioshock Infinite into this discussion as well due a lot of elements in that game, but to save room I won't - though if you've played that then maybe consider these ideas as you read this?) when thinking about video games with a strong story element and how gameplay can emphasize certain motifs or ideas within the narrative itself. So let's talk about similarities first: both Telltale's The Walking Dead and Naughty Dog's The Last of Us are zombie stories.
(—If you're about to crawl up my ass about TLoU not featuring 'actual zombies' feel free but also please go google some zombie/body horror media history. I'd really recommend checking out White Zombie (the 1932 film, not the band) and Invasion of the Body Snatchers (it's a fucking awful, though formative, book) and maybe even take another look at Romero's Dawn of the Dead and think about zombies as both monsters and a storytelling device with which to explore certain social fears of the time when the narratives were released—)
So right. They're both zombie stories. They both feature a quest that drives the momentum of the story. In TWD's case, you could argue it's either trying to find a safe haven or trying to find Clementine's parents or maybe even just 'trying to do what's best for Clementine' although in terms of what is the most satisfying and most relevant from a narrative perspective, I tend to think first and foremost about trying to find Clem's parents. It's certainly the 'quest' most central to her character and therefore subsequently defines much of Lee's journey as well. In TLoU, the quest is to escort Ellie to the Fireflies and develop a vaccine/cure/whatever the science is borked anyway for the cordycep fungi. Both feature travel; both largely deal with the wilderness; both stories are told over a long period of time. Hell, there's even some details that are almost exactly the same (when the prologue of TLoU has you kick your way out of the wrecked shamble of Tommy's truck, my roommate turned to me and said, 'The Walking Dead got really lucky that it came out first'. Add that to cannibals, 'who's worse: the people or zombies?' thematic ideas, etc, etc— well you get a whole lot of points of similarity). Both games feature and older father figure as the player character (mostly) who is responsible for escorting a younger female character to a desired destination.
What brushes do you use when you paint?
Mainly the brushes Shaddy Safadi's gathered up and bundled for download from across the net. They're for Photoshop, which brings me to the next question…
What program do you use to paint with?
Photoshop. That's it. I love SAI but I can't work in large resolutions with it, and in PS CS6 I can use a blender brush to achieve the gorgeous watercolor blending I've adored SAI for in the past. Plus it's just an industry standard. My preferences are my preferences, but at the end of the day I need to train myself to be proficient with what I'll be using in the future. Also I suck with Painter.
I borrowed some of your swag, girl. I hope you don't mind.

Some would call me an Oxford veteran. I have, after all, been attending the farming conference there each January for many years. And having served my time on the organising committee (these days they're more grandly called directors) I recognise its traditions. That is not to say it hasn't changed. In some ways, it's almost unrecognisable compared with when I first got the Oxford bug.
In those austere days, virtually all delegates stayed in the cold college rooms and an extra blanket was packed into many pieces of luggage. Winters seemed a lot colder then, although that may be my memory playing tricks. Only the top echelon of attendees would contemplate staying in the luxurious (and expensive) Randolph Hotel, although we did hold the annual dinner there before retiring to college bars for some internal warming, then cold beds.
But the biggest difference was the lack of sponsorship in those days. No hint of commercialism was permitted and when, in 1984, after the tragic sudden death of the conference secretary, I persuaded ICI Fertilisers to subsidise Ken Nelson (who had previously run their Recorded Farms Scheme) as his replacement, I received an avalanche of criticism. Today, everyone who is anyone in agriculture sponsors something and there are substantial cash reserves in case one of those snowy winters turns up again and delegates are unable to get there.
The overall "shape" of the event, however, remains. The first day is mainly devoted to politics and it has become de rigueur for the top person at DEFRA (previously MAFF) to make an appearance. This year it was the first opportunity most delegates had had to listen to the new DEFRA secretary, Owen Paterson, so the occasion had novelty value and was worthwhile. It also enabled him to indicate his priorities to the industry over which he now presides.
But the more I see of most politicians in such contexts, the less value I perceive. They seldom add to existing knowledge and often can't wait to get away once they've addressed the statutory press conference. You sometimes wonder if they accepted the invitation to speak for the good of agriculture or simply to burnish their own image.
The exception on day one this year was Mark Lynas, a reformed eco-terrorist, who delivered one of the strongest and most persuasive papers in favour of genetic modification that I have ever heard at Oxford. I was expecting it because I had already heard him speak at the John Innes Centre in Norwich a month before. Indeed, I wrote about him in a Farmers Weekly column published in the 14 December issue. But he was even better at Oxford and went down a storm with the audience. Sadly, I gather he's been getting hate mail for his pains.
He was one of several speakers advocating that this country and the EU should stop pussy-footing around, adopt GM and start catching up with the rest of the world. Mr Paterson had said it first and on day two Prof Maurice Maloney, director of Rothamsted Research, reinforced the argument for arable crops, followed by Mark Smith of Genus who spoke of the potential with livestock. In passing, Jake Freestone, LEAF farmer, Nuffield Scholar and farm manager, who spoke inspiringly about the potential for precision farming, said he too was pro-GM.
Sometimes Oxford is a catalyst. Who knows what will happen afterwards? But most of all, Oxford is the best networking opportunity of the year. Which is, I suppose, why I keep going to it.

Christmas/Thanksgiving Carrots Recipe
By Ramsay_77
Total Time: 2 hours minimum | Active Time: | Makes: Serves 8
Wow your guests with this impressive but easy dish.
On Christmas Eve (or the day before you're serving this) you can prepare the butter to save time on the big day and refrigerate.
- 400g Baby carrots, scrubbed or peeled
- 250g unsalted butter, softened
- Small bunch of fresh thyme
- Small pinch of cumin seeds, crushed
- Zest of 1 orange
- Hold the thyme sprigs under a hot running tap for around a minute and when cool enough to handle, strip the leaves from the stalks.
- In a food processor blend the thyme leaves, cumin seeds, orange zest and butter.
- Scoop out the butter and lay in the centre of a sheet of greaseproof paper. Roll one edge of the paper over the butter and roll to make into a cylinder shape. Twist the ends (it will look like a Christmas cracker at this point!) and place in the fridge to harden up.
- Steam the carrots for around ten minutes then remove and place in their serving bowl.
- Cut some slices of the set butter and toss with the carrots before serving.

well, i think the next question to ask would be which age group is more likely to talk in trade... or better yet, which age group is more likely to troll in trade. my view is that even though the average age is around 30, these players are generally more respectful in trade chat. i could be very wrong, but this is my hope, and it would allow you to maintain the target of your blame.

What may arguably be the first official a cappella cover of Taylor Swift's brand new hit "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" could also be the best one we'll see. A cappella solo artist Peter Hollens, along with Southern singing sensation Landon Austin, have taken on the upbeat break-up number just weeks after its initial release. And with thoughtful arranging and high-quality production the likes of which we've become accustomed to from this online star, this cover easily transcends the original, bringing it to new heights of musicality. The song still maintains the sense of levity and fun inherent in Swift's original work though, through extremely energetic performances - and a bit of spoken banter toward the end of the number.
We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together is a video by Landon Austin & Peter Hollens containing 03:12 minutes of music.

State lawmakers are looking to crack down on convicted drunk drivers.
The North Carolina state Senate Judiciary Committee reviewed Tuesday a proposed law, Senate Bill 424, that would require anyone convicted of a DWI to have an ignition interlock system installed in their car.
The device is similar to a breathalyzer. If the interlock system detects alcohol on the driver's breath, the car won't start.
Already 17 states require ignition interlock devices for first time DWI offenders, according to the National Transportation Safety Board. The NTSB recommended in December 2012 that all 50 states enact such a law if they haven't already.
"If a person has an alcohol problem and we can get this instrument in their vehicle, and stop them from driving and injuring themselves or someone else, that's why I believe it's a good bill," said Sgt. Gary Weaver of the State Highway Patrol in Greenville.
The device would have to be installed in the car of anyone whose license was revoked for underage drinking, and any impaired driver who refuses to submit to a chemical analysis.
They would also have to pay a 30 to 60 dollar administrative fee for installing the device.
The bill says anyone who tampers with their ignition interlock system would have their driver's license revoked. If it passes, it would go into effect December 1.

Truckers deliver wreaths to honor soldiers
Hundreds of trucks left Harrington, Maine, Dec. 6, carrying special deliveries of handmade wreaths as a part of Wreaths Across America. The effort was to honor fallen soldiers and assure their remembrance during the holiday season.
Volunteers met the convoys at state and national cemeteries for ceremonies and to help lay wreaths. A special convoy arrived in Arlington National Cemetery Dec. 12.
"In organizing the transportation and logistics for the wreath deliveries, I was touched with how many trucking companies and professional drivers volunteered to assist in this remembrance," says Barry Pottle of Pottles Transportation. "We have trucks delivering wreaths all across the country – it really demonstrates just how big-hearted the trucking industry is."
Share the Road professional drivers Kurt Pedersen (Con-way Freight) and Ben Saiz (ABF Freight System) ran routes to South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. America's Road Team Captain John Foran (UPS) delivered to cemeteries in New Hampshire and Vermont.

Iodide is an essential trace mineral. It is a component of the thyroid hormone thyroxin, which regulates the rate at which your body uses energy. Many people confuse this mineral with iodine, the elemental form that is actually poisonous to humans.
Iodide is a component of thyroxin, a thyroid hormone that helps to:
- Regulate metabolic rate
- Regulate growth and development
- Promotes bone and protein synthesis
Recommended Intake

Recommended Dietary Allowance [RDA]
Upper Limits [UL]

|Lactation (older than 18)
Too Little Iodide
If you don't have enough iodide, your body can't make enough thyroxin. This slows down the rate at which the body burns energy, so weight gain can become a problem. This lack of iodide can cause a goiter, or enlarged thyroid gland. This happens when the thyroid gland grows to try and take up more iodide from the bloodstream. A chronic iodide deficiency can result in destruction of the thyroid gland.
Because we have iodized salt in the United States, goiter is rarely seen. If eaten in large quantities, some foods, like raw turnips and rutabagas, have chemicals that can cause goiters and inhibit thyroid gland functions. These chemicals, called goitrogens, are destroyed when the foods are cooked, so problems are uncommon.
Too Much Iodide
The thyroid can also become enlarged if you have too much iodide in your diet, though this is rare in the United States. This "toxic goiter" is caused by elevated concentrations of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). This is often seen in people who eat a lot of seaweed, which can add a significant amount of iodide to the diet. Iodide levels up to 1 milligram (more than six times the RDA) appear to be safe.
Major Food Sources
Iodide is found naturally in food grown in or near coastal seas. Seafood is naturally high in iodide, as are plants grown near the sea. Molasses and iodized salt are also good sources. Most people get plenty of iodide from the iodized salt in their diets, since only ½ teaspoon of iodized salt provides enough iodide to reach an adult's RDA for the day. The sea salt found in health food stores is generally not a good source because iodide is lost during processing.
|Serving Size
Iodide content
|Table salt, iodized

|Cod, cooked

|Spinach, cooked

|1 ounce
Health Implications
When the thyroid gland releases fewer hormones than the body needs, the result is hypothyroidism—the most common form of thyroid dysfunction. Some of the symptoms include:
- Fatigue
- Coarse, brittle hair; hair loss
- Facial puffiness
- Dry skin
- Swollen hands or feet
- Cold intolerance
- Weight gain
- Achy feeling all over
- Depression and irritability
- Menstrual abnormalities or infertility
When more hormones are released than necessary, the result is hyperthyroidism. Some symptoms include:
- Heat intolerance
- Tremors
- Enlarged thyroid gland (goiter)
- Heart palpitations
- Increased sweating
- Nervousness, irritability
- Redness, swelling, and protrusion of the eyes
- Shortness of breath
- Increased number of bowel movements
- Irregular or no menstrual period
A low iodide intake can especially impact children, causing a condition called cretinism. If not treated, the condition can lead to mental retardation and abnormal growth. Iodine supplements can reverse some of the affects. People who have a low iodide intake are also at an increased risk of getting thyroid cancer, although it is not known exactly what causes the disease.
Tips for Increasing Your Iodide Intake
In general, there is little need to increase your iodide intake. Most people in the US get plenty from their diets, much of this coming from iodized salt. But if you use sea salt (or another type of salt) that doesn't have iodide, you can get the mineral from seafood or other sources. This is also true if you are on a low-sodium diet. Talk to your doctor if you are concerned about how much iodide you are getting.

Arianny Celeste X Complex Photo Shoot
Arianny Celeste, the Octagon Girl who yokes up UFC fans in their sweetest dreams, didn't know anything about mixed martial arts when she took a job with the Ultimate Fighting Championship in 2006. The self-described fitness nerd proved to be a quick learner, though, and now she's a grappling expert. Now, Celeste, 26, knows how to inflict damage if provoked. Thankfully, asking the Las Vegas native to get naked for a camera isn't one such provocation.

A Quest For Dividend Growth in the Canadian Banking Industry
Michael is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Today I'll be reviewing Royal Bank of Canada (NYSE: RY) as part of my Great Canadian Banking Series. In this 10-part series, I examine the Canadian Banking Sector to identify good dividend growth candidates.
Side Note: Since the article is focusing on a Canadian sector I chose to show stock information from the Toronto Stock Exchange instead of the NYSE. Dollar amounts and stock information are in Canadian dollars.
10-year stock chart
The 10-year annual average return is 8.2%. If we include the dividend payments over the past ten fiscal years (total dividends paid of $20.73) then the total average annual return would be 10.7% with the average return from dividends representing 2.5%.
Revenue & earnings per share
Revenue per share for Royal Bank of Canada has been declining since 2007, but we see a growing EPS from 2009 on. This would suggest that the company is getting more efficient. I like that EPS is growing, but I'd like to see revenue per share grow as well.
Royal Bank of Canada has increased its dividend for 2 consecutive years. Prior to this, the annual dividend was held at $2.00 for the three fiscal years from 2008 to 2010. The dividend streak leading up to the stalled dividend in 2008 was 14 years.
The quarterly dividend recorded in April of $0.63 (up from $0.60) was its most recent increase, but it's been increasing the dividend twice a year for the past few years. The quarterly dividend recorded in October 2012 was increased from $0.57 to $0.60. The most recent annual dividend increase would be from $0.57 to $0.63 which is an increase of 10.5%.
In the chart you can see where dividend growth stalled from 2008-2010. The overall trend is good, and it looks like dividend growth has started to improve since the global financial crisis.
Dividend growth
As you can see from the table below Royal Bank of Canada shows good 1 and 10-year average annual dividend growth rates, but leaves me wanting more with the other rates.
Estimated future dividend growth
Royal Bank of Canada stated in its 2012 annual report that it is targeting a payout ratio of 40-50%. This is consistent with other banks like CIBC and Bank of Montreal, which have stated the same targets.
Analysts expect annual EPS growth to be 8.0% for the next five years. Accepting this EPS growth rate and using a payout ratio of 40-50% would result in dividend growth of 4.9% to 9.7%. The company's most recent annual dividend increase of 10.5% leads me to think that future dividend growth will be at the higher end of this range, likely around 8%.
Competitive advantage & return on equity
Looking at the table below, it looks like Royal Bank's ROE has been in-line with the industry average.
The Canadian banking industry is dominated by the big six banks. The big six are all very competitive, so while there are not a lot of big players in the Canadian market, it is still very competitive. Overall I would say that Royal Bank of Canada has a narrow economic moat.
Morningstar currently rates Royal Bank of Canada as a 3 star stock as it is currently priced close to its estimated fair value of $57. For Morningstar to rate Royal Bank of Canada as a 5 star undervalued stock the price would have to fall below $34.20. I calculated my own target price and came up with $50. To see the details of this calculation read the full analysis of Royal Bank of Canada.
My target price of $50 is 46% higher than Morningstar's 5 star target. This is quite a difference, so I was worried that my target price wasn't conservative enough. Looking at the past ten fiscal years worth of the highest dividend yield's I think my target price is still conservative. The 5 star price would result in a dividend yield of 7.4%, and my target price a yield of 5.0%. A yield of 5.0% is still conservative compared to past dividend yields.
Morningstar's 5 star price is very conservative, and it looks like the only opportunity to buy at a 7.37% yield would've been in 2009 in the height of the global financial crisis. Having looked at historic high dividend yields, I'm content to keep my target price at $50. You can see all of my target prices here.
Other investment options in the same industry
Royal Bank of Canada is one of six banks that make up the majority of the Canadian market. It shares the industry with Bank of Nova Scotia (NYSE: BNS), Toronto-Dominion Bank (NYSE: TD), CIBC, Bank of Montreal, and National Bank (TSX: NA).
All of the banks offer a dividend yield of around 4% or higher, which is enticing. They range between Toronto-Dominion Bank's 3.67% to CIBC's 4.91%. Their payout ratios are all reasonable with them ranging from National Bank's 40.00% to Bank of Montreal's 49.50%.
When it comes to dividend growth and estimated 5-year annual EPS growth CIBC and Bank of Montreal look a little lackluster compared to the other banks. I think National Bank, Bank of Nova Scotia and Toronto-Dominion Bank show the most promise. Royal Bank offers appealing fundamentals, but I prefer the other three banks just mentioned.
Bank of Nova Scotia has increased its dividend for 2 consecutive years, which doesn't sound very impressive until you look at the bigger picture. It has increased its dividend in 42 of the last 45 years. This is very impressive. The most recent dividend increase happened with the dividend recorded in April, when management increased the quarterly dividend by 5.3% from $0.57 to $0.60.
Recently, management has been increasing the dividend twice a year, so the most recent annual dividend increase would be from $0.55 to $0.60, which is a 9.1% increase. The company's most recent annual dividend increase of 9.1% leads me to think that future dividend growth will be around 8-10%.
Like most of the big six banks Toronto-Dominion Bank has increased its dividend twice in the past year. This led to an annual dividend increase of 12.5%. My guess is that future dividend growth will be at the higher end of my estimated range of 6.4-11.2%.
In the past year National Bank increased its quarterly dividend from $0.79 to $0.83 and then again to $0.87. This is a 10.1% annual increase. I expect annual dividend growth at the higher end of my estimated range of 5.6-11.9%. National Bank has the lowest payout ratio of all the banks, which also suggests that it has the best ability to grow its dividend. That said, National Bank typically likes to keep its payout ratio lower than the other five banks.
There are a number of good dividend growth candidates among the Canadian banks, but overall I like National Bank's dividend growth prospects the best.
Right now Royal Bank of Canada is above my target price, but should it come down to $50 I'd consider adding to my current position. At $50 the dividend yield would be an enticing 5.0%, and I expect future annual dividend growth around 8%. There are other banks that offer similarly enticing dividend fundamentals, so it might just be a matter of waiting for the first one to fall below my target price. Should this happen I'd consider investing in National Bank, Bank of Nova Scotia, Toronto-Dominion Bank, or Royal Bank of Canada.

Breaking apart BP template tags
Stats: WP 3.7.1, BP 1.9, custom theme.
Hi there,
I'm a PHP/CSS3/HTML5/JS developer and I've managed to create my own theme with wordpress. While wordpress codex has helped me mostly along the way, I'm stumped on BP.
I've been studying the codex and also lurking among the forums. Searching high and low through the google, and really could use your help.
I need to change the HTML that is generated from multiple tags, specifically all the tags used in BP 1.9.
I would prefer to be able to grab the content that entry.php does Outside the loop, and throw it in the <head> title.
Everything I look up is just function after function. BP has functions that seem to go on an endless chain of functions and is very hard to understand when looking under the hood. So, how does one just grab the raw content?
Would like to be able to do sometihng like with wordpress: $post->date,author,image,content,excerpt,title. How would this be done with $bp???

If you think about it, through writings, we all script and make ourselves up. I don't share the person I become when I am upset. I don't show you how I look like when I sleep. I don't tell you about all the times I've made someone cry. All the guilty things I've done and the bad thoughts I've had.

Why Pat Tillman's Death Matters
Dick Price: Amir Bar-Lev's powerful documentary, "The Tillman Story," fleshes out the tragic arc of Pat Tillman's life in what becomes less an anti-war movie and more the story of one indomitable family's struggle for truth and justice in the face of arrogant indifference by our nation's top military and civilian leaders, abetted by a cheerleading press.
Ozzie Guillen Speaks Truth on Baseball's Racial Double Standard
Winona LaDuke Pledges Help for Native Tribes Facing BP Oil
Georgianne Nienaber: LaDuke slammed the Minnesota Ottertail Power Company for being "punitive" in its refusal to allow the White Earth Recovery Project to supply its own power and have some to sell to the rest of the grid. Minnesota has the strictest electrical inspection standards in the United States.
"Stop Feeding on Haiti's Suffering"
Georgianne Nienaber: Haiti is not waving at America. Haiti has the professional expertise to help itself, if only given the opportunity and monetary support to do so. Yes, accountability is needed, but for USAID to suggest that "aid professionals" are the only entities that can accomplish this is not true. Haiti is not an abandoned infant, needing a savior. Abandoned by the international banking community, yes, but fully capable of taking care of her people if given the resources to do so.
Misery, Fear, Loss, and Confusion in Haiti Four Months After the Quake
Georgianne Nienaber: As she knelt with her back to the writer, the Grandmother stopped the smoothing, stopped the straightening, and grew very quiet. Her shoulders began to heave and it was obvious she was wracked with sobs. The task was hopeless and the Creole cries were soft at first and then became a wail. Not knowing what else to do, the writer sat down in the water and touched the back of the elegant Grandmother.
Oily Birds and Other Atrocities
Tom Degan: How ever will they justify continued off-shore drilling in light of what is now happening in the Gulf of Mexico? In just a few short days we've gone from a tragedy to a disaster to a full blown catastrophe. It will be more than interesting to see the depths to which the right wing will now stoop in order to trivialize this hideous event. Rush Limbaugh is already floating the idea out to his half-witted "Dittoheads" that this was sabotage on the part of the "eco-nazis"; that some unnamed environmental organization plotted this disaster in order to further their evil socialist agenda.
10 Questions for T People from the Parkie They Heckled
Robert Letcher: Eighth, how can you act so angry and unaware on the world's stage (it's not yours or ours anymore—so you can't just take it home), yet hope not to be dismissed as ugly Americans who can no longer think well and creatively enough to compete in anything except war games made with real wars?
