Very quick and simple to prepare and we both loved it. Be sure to line the pan with foil as suggested in another comment and cleanup is so easy. We don't have salt in the house so I substituted Garlic and Herb Mrs. Dash with good results. I was afraid this would be one of those dishes that is almost inedible without salt, but it was very good. I finally have a use for that rosemary bush in the yard!
I am new at this but will try this very soon. I am not sure what I am doing yet. Have to have time to get more inf. from doctor on some questions.
My daughter adds cut broccoli florets, bite-sized cuts of red potato, OR julliene baby carrots and fresh green beans; lined baking sheet with foil & covers veggies with foil at 450 for 20 min. She may add a little more olive oil. Family favorite!
Was looking for a new way to make cauliflower and this was amazing. The rosemary makes the dish.
Very delicious, will definately do it this way again.

Rate Riggers Should Face Tougher Sanctions, IOSCO SaysJim Brunsden
Traders found guilty of involvement in benchmark rigging should face much tougher sanctions than those currently handed down, said David Wright, head of the International Organization of Securities Commissions,
"It seems every week at the moment more serious problems in financial markets are emerging," Wright said today by e-mail. Rigging allegations concerning markets from interbank lending to foreign exchange show the need for sanctions that are "far more" of a deterrent to wrongdoing, he said.
"It is evident to everyone that the financial industry has got to clean up big time and start behaving in the interest of their clients, and indeed society as a whole, if trust in financial markets is to be recovered," Wright said.
Regulators are grappling with how to respond to rate-rigging scandals. More than a dozen authorities on three continents are reviewing whether traders colluded to rig the currency market, while nine firms have been fined more than $6 billion for manipulating the London interbank offered rate, a rate used to price more than $300 trillion of contracts from student loans to mortgages.
The European Union proposed measures last year to toughen regulation of benchmarks, building on recommendations from IOSCO, a global group whose members are markets watchdogs from over 100 countries.
The Financial Stability Board, an organization bringing together regulators, central bankers and government officials from the Group of 20 nations, has also set up working groups to look at benchmark governance and alternatives to scandal-ridden rates. An FSB group on the foreign-exchange markets is set to report by a meeting of G-20 leaders in November.
U.K. Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne is preparing to announce plans to boost oversight of the foreign-exchange market following the allegations of manipulation. The measures are being considered in conjunction with the FSB, according to a government official who asked not to be identified.

Right After Breakfast
Pushups x 20 reps, two second pause at the bottom; I count the cadence.
He also worked on using his hands while blocking. I noticed last night durring practice that he was getting a great initial hit but his hands were NOT in a good position to finish the block. So we spent a little time on it this morning. We'll see if it payed off during practice tonight.
How is the team doing?
Off topic and weird...
As many of you know my son worked very hard in the off-season on his explosiveness. We wanted him to get off the line with force and speed. We did a ton of exercises geared towards that goal. The problem is that the coaches are kind of old-fashioned and judge all their players on their 40 yard sprint times. So, my son was labeled as non-athletic right from the start. They knew he could hit hard and block so he still made starter. Every night they finish practice with 60 to 80 yard sprints for conditioning. Every night my son comes in last place and the coaches are all yelling at him and looking down on him.
Well, tonight they switched it up and had the team running 20 yard sprints (head coach wasn't there tonight). Well, my son was kicking ass and coming in the top 3 to 5 kids accross the line. Some coaches don't realize that linemen need explosive speed and NOT SPEED ENDURANCE. Hopefully the coaches will open their eyes and judge players by different standards depending on the position they play. Linemen need to be quick to 5 or 10 yards and that's the way we train in the off-season. They need to clock the kids' 10, 20, and 40 yard times to see where they will fit in best for the team. Not every kid is going to be a skills player but they need linemen too; the offense doesn't go anywhere without them.

Two-thirds of Americans could not correctly name Yorktown as the last major military action of the American Revolution, according to a recent national Gallup survey.
The National Heritage Areas and Scenic Byways program, the only major Federal program encouraging visits to historic places, has been completely eliminated in Congressional committee.
A young man from Queens jumps into the thick of World War II intelligence activities by translating secret Japanese messages
IN HIS MARVELOUS MEMOIR, Flights of Passage, my friend and onetime colleague Samuel Hynes, a Marine Corps combat aviator in World War II, writes that the war is the shared secret of his generation—those young men who came of age between December 7, 1941, and September 2, 1945. For those of the approximately 12 million Americans in uniform for some or all of those years, it was an experience both personal and collective like nothing before or after. Those who went through the hell of combat carry physical and emotional scars as reminders.Read more »
The campaign to revise Hitler's reputation has gone on for 50 years, but there's another strategy now. Some of it is built on the work of the head of the Gestapo—who may have enjoyed a comfortable retirement in America.
RECENTLY, ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, the American public has been made aware of evidence of plagiarism practiced, alas, by celebrated American historians. This is regrettable, but nothing new. All kinds of writers have borrowed and, worse, stolen from others through the ages. Plagiarism is a forgery of sorts, a little like the forging of a signature on a work of art. Other forgeries are less easily detectable. Moreover, the purposes of a historian's plagiarism and of a historical forgery are different.Read more »
Remember September 11? Or rather, remember how it was supposed to change us all, and for the better? Among all the predictions was one that held that it would lead to "the end of irony," the sort of earnest prognostication that is bound to seem ironic in retrospect. Yet an even more civic-minded call came from Robert D. Putnam, who let us know that this was our chance to get back to the spirit of World War II. Read more »
The events of 9/11 remind us that outside attacks have always brought Americans together.
September 11, 2001. A new date to remember, unlike any other in our history. The last significant attack on the mainland United States by an outside enemy occurred in the War of 1812, almost two centuries ago. The only American death tolls that compare with those in New York came during the Civil War, and now the number who died in Manhattan alone—leaving aside the deaths in Washington and Pennsylvania—may exceed the 6,000 killed at the Battle of Antietam, which was previously the most deadly day in American history.Read more »
What is history? Is it something we decide on the best available evidence, weighing and culling the many varied accounts of the past? Or is it, instead, something to be decreed and imposed on us, decided by what some politicians say or maybe a judge somewhere? These questions may seem banal or obvious, but they have become very real —ever since the U.S. Congress recently decided to write the main tenet of a conspiracy theory into an official bill.
The author entered the conquered capital days after the surrender to meet high officers of the Imperial Navy
Fifty years ago, in the summer of 1945, I was a naval officer in Norfolk, Virginia, contemplating my inevitable return to the Western Pacific, when two bombs were dropped, the Soviets entered the war, and the Japanese emperor prevailed on his government to throw in the towel. On August 28 the first occupation forces arrived; on September 2 the formal surrender took place. A few days later Rear Adm. R. A. Ofstie, for whom I was working, called me down the hall and asked if I would like to go to Japan. Read more »
Revisiting the seas where American carriers turned the course of history, a Navy man re-creates a time of frightful odds and brilliant gambles.
Some memories are good and some bad, but the fact is that they change over the years. All of us who were part of it can recall how angry we were about the war against the Axis Powers. We were mad at all of it: Pearl Harbor, enemy atrocities, everything. We were also angry on the personal level at the necessity of going to war, at the consequent disruptions to our lives, at the risks we had to take, the privations, and the all-pervading, constant fear. We hated it, or thought sincerely that we did.Read more »

Seventy-five years ago a powered kite landed on a cruiser. From that stunt grew the weaponry that has defined modern naval supremacy.
For hundreds of years ships of war were of wood, moved by the wind. Their long-range weapons were simple cannon, while at short ranges, with ships locked alongside one another in deadly embrace, the sailors used cutlasses, sabers, pikes, and small arms. The strategy of sea power consisted of maneuvering, out of sight and beyond knowledge, into position where the power of the guns and their trained crews could become decisive.

Woof in Advertising: McConaughey and dogs
As Matthew McConaughey's Lincoln ads go, this new one, thankfully, doesn't strive as hard to be sublime as the others, but it's almost as ridiculous.
Generally, the series of luxury car ads has seemed more intent on celebrating the actor's looks and accessories than the motor vehicle's, and more concerned with his lofty personal observations than the vehicle's performance.
This time, at least, he's not talking to himself as he pulls out the driveway of a ritzy neighborhood. This time, he's not checking his cuff links, or contemplatively rolling an invisible something between his thumb and forefinger.
This time, it's a little more down to earth — he's talking to two dogs in the back seat, about where to go eat.
"Alright what do you think boys?" McConaughey asks the German shorthaired pointer and Weimaraner in back of the Lincoln Navigator. "We could do tacos, we could do some Thai. Oh what do you think about sushi?"
(I wouldn't recommend feeding any of those to a dog.)
The dogs somehow convey to McConaughey that they want barbecue (again). But McConaughey, deeming himself the far superior creature, nixes their idea
"No, we're not having barbecue again. Why? Because you're on four legs and I'm on two.
"And I'm driving."
He punctuates that last sentence with a clicking mouth noise and a wink. Maybe it's supposed to come across as sexy and self-assured, or it could just be to distract us from the obvious question: "If you didn't care what they wanted to eat, why did you bother asking them in the first place?"
McConaughey has three dogs of his own, but none of them was used for the ad.
"Lincoln and I wanted the new ad to be more lighthearted and fun, so when they pitched the 'driving with dogs' idea I was in," McConaughey said. In a news release for the ad, he added, "People love their dogs, I've got three myself, and yes, I, like most of you, even talk to them."
The commercial spot, called "Time to Eat," got its first TV air time during the Grammy awards. It was directed by filmmaker Gus Van Sant.
"Gus really understood how to bring the story of the Lincoln Navigator to life," Jon Pearce, executive vice president and global chief creative officer for the ad agency Hudson Rouge, said in the release. "The setting, our canine passengers and some pithy dialogue all work together to tell the story of the type of person who likes to drive a Navigator."
And what kind of person is that? We can only guess a pithy one.
(Woof in Advertising is a recurring ohmidog! feature that looks at how dogs are used in marketing. You can find earlier posts in this archived collection.)

After some zigs and zags, Ziggy is home
After a Fresno family shared a post on Facebook about their dog Ziggy going missing, and Ziggy showing up not much later on Craigslist for sale, a good Samaritan said he did what he had to do — buy Ziggy back and return him to his family.
Ziggy, a Maltese, was stolen Friday from a crate in his front yard in Fresno, Calif., his owner, Kris Villasenor, told ABC News.
By Saturday he was returned to the family, by a stranger named Jeremiah Lee.
"I was browsing Facebook the other day and my aunt shared a post about a lost dog," Lee told ABC News. "I read it and realized that the dog was stolen in my neighborhood."
Lee made a mental note to keep an eye out for the dog, and followed Villasenor's post on Fresno's lost and found pets Facebook page.
When he saw that someone had commented on the post that they had seen the dog listed for sale, and provided a link to the Craigslist ad, Lee took action.
"I texted the number thinking that there was no way that they would respond and just told them that they had broken a little girl's heart and to do the right thing."
To Lee's surprise, the seller answered his text, claiming they had bought Ziggy from a homeless person and had no idea that he was stolen.
While skeptical of that story, Lee met the seller Saturday and paid $40 for the Maltese he had never met.
Lee got in touch with Villasenor through Facebook, informing her he had her dog, and she picked Ziggy up right away.
Villasenor insisted on reimbursing Lee, even though he protested.
"I wanted to help because I would hope that someone would do the same for me," he said.
"It's amazing what Jeremiah did just to get the dog back," Villasenor said. "The kids are super stoked about it. It's a wonderful feeling."

But wait! There's more
Sometimes, technology is little more than putting a bygone relic to new use.
Witness the Woof Washer 360 — basically a Hula Hoop with holes in it that attaches to your garden hose, allowing you to squirt your dog clean with the kind of coverage Anderson Cooper might envy.
It's currently being direct-marketed to consumers with the kind of goofy ad direct-marketers are famous for.
"Rover loves to play, but he ends up filthy from the day," we are told, as if we are second graders who wouldn't otherwise realize that.
Simply connect the magic wand to a hose, add soap, slip it over your dog and the "sudsy solution" will "scrub" Rover clean — in less than one minute.
The secret, we're told, is the "360 degree design…Amazing…like a soothing massage for your pet."
Somehow, we are supposed to conclude that "Rover" will not be as frightened by a giant hoop producing dozens of streams of water as he is by a garden hose.
We are supposed to "Act now!" of course, because this item is "not available in stores."
And what would any TV/Internet only offer be without the ubiquitous added incentive: "But wait, there's more" — in this case a bonus "Woof Washer 360 Microfiber Quick Drying Mitt" to dry your dog even faster.
Woof Washer 360 comes in two sizes — small ($19.99) and large ($24.99).
One one level, it makes a weird kind of sense. Then again it looks like the kind of contraption that ends up stashed in the corner of the garage, gathering cobwebs.
But worry not; decades from now, when its unearthed anew, the grandkids can always use it as a Hula Hoop.

Ooda lalley, ooda lalley, golly what a day
We love dogs. We love depictions of interspecies harmony. And danged if we don't love Roger Miller.
So even though its cast is made up of various members of the animal kingdom — not just the dogs we normally feature in our "Woof in Advertising" pieces — we're pretty crazy about this recent ad for Android phones.
We especially like the tagline: "Be Together. Not the Same."
Many of the interspecies friends shown in the ad have been featured before here on ohmidog!, including Roscoe and Suryia, the coonhound and orangutan who appear at the beginning of the commercial.
The ad doesn't make me want to buy an Android phone.
But it does make me happy.
How can such scenes of interspecies friendship not make you joyful, especially when you throw in the phrase "Ooda Lalley?
(According to Urban Dictionary, it's a term popularized in the 1950s, meaning yay or yippee.)
Now all we have to do is figure out what "Do-Wacka-Do" means, and whether it's possible that — with enough interspecies harmony — we CAN roller skate in a buffalo herd.

A hard hitting ad from guide dog foundation
This public service ad for a Dutch service dog foundation certainly isn't the typical "awwww"-invoking stuff you see from do-gooders trying to raise some money.
It's pretty chilling, as is its tagline: "We not only help people who cannot see, but also those who have seen too much"
The ad was made for the Royal Dutch Guide Dog Foundation (KNGF Geleidehonden), which in addition to supplying guide dogs for the blind, also trains assistance dogs for veterans coping with PTSD and other war-induced traumas.
Established in 1935, the organization has trained over 5,000 dogs for guide dog users in various parts of the Netherlands.
The ad won the the Gouden Loeki (a Dutch commercial award) in 2014.

The puppy ad Go Daddy pulled off the air
Go Daddy previewed its Super Bowl ad today, but hours later decided to drop it amid a flood of criticism from dog lovers who said it was tasteless, mean-hearted and irresponsible.
The video of the ad was taken off YouTube, where hundreds of commenters had blasted it, including top officials of animal protection groups.
A back-up ad will be used during the 2015 Super Bowl, the company said.
The ad was intended to poke some fun at Budweiser's puppy ads — both the highly acclaimed one that aired during last year's Super Bowl, "Puppy Love," and a follow-up ad that the beer company will during Sunday's Super Bowl, called "Lost Dog."
The 30-second Go Daddy ad featured a retriever puppy finding its way home after falling out of a truck, only to find its owner has used Go Daddy to set up a website that lets her promptly sell the dog to a new owner.
Many in the animal welfare community responded, pointing out that dogs purchased online often come from puppy mills. (For a sampling of their anger, check out hashtag #GoDaddyPuppy, or read the comments left on the YouTube page where the video itself has been deactivated.
The ad was made by Barton F. Graf 9000, but heads of the agency declined to comment.
GoDaddy CEO Blake Irving responded to the ad's critics on Twitter this afternoon, vowing "we will not air it."
Earlier in the day, though, Irving had defended the ad, according to AdWeek, saying, "Buddy was purchased from a reputable, loving breeder, just as the ad suggests. Sell or adopt, both need an online presence."
Around 6:30 p.m., Irving posted a statement confirming the ad won't run, and that another ad will be substituted.
"You'll still see us in the Big Game this year, and we hope it makes you laugh," he wrote.
The YouTube video was removed around the same time.
A petition launched on the website Change.org by animal rights advocate Helena Yurcho demanding the ad be pulled had more than 42,000 signatures by afternoon.
"Essentially, GoDaddy is encouraging private breeding/puppy mills while shelter animals wait patiently for their forever homes or worse—to be euthanized," she wrote. "They are also encouraging purchasing an animal online; the animal could be sold to someone who runs a fighting ring, someone who abuses animals, or to someone who cannot adequately care for the animal. Animal rights are no laughing matter and to portray them as such is cruel and irresponsible."
On YouTube, the clip received more than 800 comments, many of them negative. Dog breeders and animal rescuers alike were critical of the spot for sending a negative message.

Woof in Advertising: "Henry! Bad boy!"
"Everyone loves their Nest Dropcam," reads the tagline of this ad. "Except this dog."
And can you blame him? Not only can Henry be spied upon by the spiffy little wifi camera, but his owners — be they at work, out on the town or away on vacation — can also verbally reprimand him if they see him misbehaving, through the Dropcam's "Two-way Talk" feature:
"Henry! … Bad boy!"
Here's how Henry, in the commercial, explains his disdain for the device:
"If you're like me, there's nothing you enjoy more than hopping up on a couch, destroying a few pillows or chewing on a good shoe. So this new Nest Dropcam is a serious buzz kill. It's always watching so people can keep an eye on me when they're away and even chime in with their inane reprimands … Who's to say who's a bad boy and who's not? It seems so subjective if you ask me."
In real life, I doubt dogs even notice when a cam is spying on them — unless the dog's human is using the device's talking feature to reprimand, praise or otherwise confuse the canine from afar, which strikes me as more of a harassing moment than a teaching one.
What do dogs make of that familiar-sounding, yet disembodied voice?
In real life, I'd bet there are people who hate the Nest Dropcam much more than dogs do. Maids, nannies and visiting dogwalkers might have a problem with it, too — especially if they're unaware it's pointed at them, or of it's eavesdropping abilities, or if they suddenly find themselves receiving orders through it.
Whatever happened to the right to face one's accuser?
While this ad is aimed at dog owners, the cams are being more heavily marketed as security tools, or as yet another component of a "smart home" system that can help you remotely control your thermostat, DVR, lights, alarms, cooking devices, etc.
Among the concerns some folks have about such systems are what data they might be collecting, and with whom they might be sharing it.
Google acquired Nest, a home automation company, for $3.2 billion in January, but maybe it is wrong to read anything into that.
I'm not sure I'd want my home powered by Google, managed by Google or monitored by Google. For that matter, I'm not sure I'd even want a smart home. I don't want my house to be able to outwit me — and if you put a computer in charge of it, you know that's exactly what the device will teach the home.
"John," the computer would say to me through the Dropcam, or one of it's other audio outlets, "Get your feet off the couch."
"But we discussed this and decided it would be OK," I'd counter.
"I can only grant an exception if you provide the special 25-character passcode," the computer would remind me.
"But I've forgotten it."
"Then get your feet off the couch."
I would not obey the Dropcam, and wouldn't expect my dog to, either.
It is, after all, our home. And as living, breathing, thinking creatures, we are in charge, not the machines — at least up until the moment the smart home has the telephone call a locksmith to change the locks.

At the base of the ski resort, the Las Lengas coffee-shop offers fast food and regional dishes, such as grilled goat's meat and hot wine punch. In the evenings, musical live shows are presented and on Fridays, do not miss the classical lit torches parade.
On the way back from the Pehuén chairlift is the coffee-shop bearing the same name. With a privileged panoramic sight, there is nothing better than looking for shelter in this tea house which also offers fast food.
Besides, there is a refuge to taste mountain cuisine or a delicious cup of hot chocolate at the T-Bar coffee-shop.

Re: wood framing and shrinkage
Why that response ? The question was, are air chambers run on hot and cold feeds in
N.Y. What's Your problem DUDE?I can build anything You want , if you draw a picture of it , on the back of a big enough check .
Re: wood framing and shrinkage
this building is one i do work at. but not this project. i was asked to inspect this before the work is done to advise them of my findings.
there are no air chambers on any of this work. in all the years of large scale new construction worked on, i can count on 1 hand the amount of air chambers we ever installed. hammer arrestors are a different story.
in the old buildings/ homes, i do come across air chambers on water and drip legs on gas.
remember out here we don't install air chambers, drip legs on gas, and we do use both black and gal. on gas
truthfully i do believe that pex will overtake copper in the coming years.

Re: wood framing and shrinkage
Originally posted by PLUMBER RICK View Postwe've had discussions over the past few months talking about double drilling and wood shrinkage in new building construction.
here are a couple of photos that show a shower ruff from 1987 on a 4 story wood framed building built over a 12'' thick raised slab/ garage.
keep in mind that this is type m 3/4'' copper and is from the 3rd. floor that is under renovation.
the reason why the 1/2'' hot, 3/4'' cold risers are bowed is because the shower valve had no expansion joints/ flex to allow for settling as the wood shrunk from all 4 levels. the valve being tiled into the wall had nowhere to move. if it had an expansion joint/ flex line, it would have allowed the pipe to move separate of the valve being dragged down.
when i did new construction in this same city, we were required to double drill all the horizontal holes and also use a flex copper connector on the tub/ shower valves.
a concrete and steel studded building would have not shrunk.
Could you elaborate on the definition of double drilling. Maybe I missed it.

Re: wood framing and shrinkage
Rick, why not just drill a 1" hole for 1/2" horizontal runs? Wouldn't this accomplish the same thing faster?
Re: wood framing and shrinkage
this is from a 4 story building built in 1991 wood framed. owner complaining of excessive noise when other units above or below would run their shower.
the building actually shrunk so much to shear and bend the piping. i was able to cut it back and restore the proper alignment.
notice that the line had been repaired 2 times already due to leaks.
i cut out the pipe on the 2nd. floor unit and replaced with propress. also installed acoustoclamps to isolate the pipe from the framing as recommended by the acoustical engineer they brought in to consult about the noise. for $25,000 a month, i guess he deserves to sleep without being awoke to the sound of a shower in the stack
i was able to attach to the risers in the first floor unit. the third floor was just remodeled and they were not going to let me open it up.
the engineer will be taking sound readings tomorrow. so far without drywall or insulation, it sounds much better.

As a person who only owns a PS3, I've finally had the chance to play Limbo. I came into this game knowing very little about it (save for seeing a few screen shots), yet due to all the praise the game has received I was expecting great things. For the most part, the game met my expectations.
Limbo is about as simple as a game can get. It's a platformer in which the protagonist can jump, pull items, and push buttons. Since there is no dialogue or explanations of any kind, what little narrative there is in the game is so ambiguous and open ended that it can be interpreted in multiple ways. Add in the wonderful aesthetic, and you have a game that is defined as a true "experience". It's yet another game that could legitimately be described as a work of art.
The game is morbid, disturbing, haunting, lonely, but most of all, fascinating. I can see the supposed film noir influences, but the game really has it's own unique style. The setting is something I would describe as bleak, yet beautiful. There is very little background noise or music save for a few moments to increase the tension. It really seems to be an inspired description of what a "state of limbo" could feel like (if you believe in that kind of thing).
My favorite sections of the game are toward the beginning when the protagonist is wandering through the forest. The battles with the spider, and the interaction with the seemingly indigenous people that live there are wonderful. The animation is smooth and despite the number of times the player is likely to die (in fantastic fashion by the way), for the most part it doesn't get too frustrating. However, the game then transitions into this very industrialized area, and that is probably my biggest gripe with the game. When this transition happens, the little bit of narrative that game had going is essentially lost, and the game pretty much becomes exclusively puzzle platforming. Add in the bits of frustration caused by the significantly increased difficulty as the journey reaches it's conclusion, and I became more and more detached from the game I was so invested in initially. Another possible negative is the game's relatively short length (I finished the whole game in one sitting without using a guide). To be honest though, I think the length fits the game pretty well as if not to wear out it's welcome.
Despite these gripes, overall the game was a wonderful experience that I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone. It's a experiential game with beautifully simplistic visuals, good puzzles, and an open ended minimalist narrative. I have come up with over a half dozen possible explanations for the story. As for my personal favorite interpretation, (Spoilers, kinda sorta) I tend to think that the protagonist died from old age after living an unfufilling life. He is in a state of limbo because he longs for the pleasant memories of his youth where he shared time with his sister (at least Play Dead claims it is his sister) whom I'm guessing died at a young age. To reach her, the protagonist symbolically relives his life by overcoming the obstacles he has faced (which are made manifest in the spider, tribal people, machinery, etc). The transition from nature to industry could be representative of him moving from an isolated area in his youth (farm, etc.) to the city. The increased difficulty of the obstacles in the later parts of the game could be representative of the increased difficulties and pressures of his city life. In the end, he "breaks through" the hardships of his life and can be at peace.
Anyways, go buy it if you haven't already. That is all.

4 strong dividend growth stocks to make you RICHER this year
The S&P ASX All Ordinaries Index (ASX: ^AORD) has been meandering just under the 5,500 mark since February. The US markets have hit new all-time highs, but ours is still more than 15% down from its pre-GFC high set in late 2007. Investors are looking for signs that the bull market can keep on running. The next reporting season will shed some light on that.

The S&P ASX All Ordinaries Index (ASX: ^AORD) has been meandering just under the 5,500 mark since February. The US markets have hit new all-time highs, but ours is still more than 15% down from its pre-GFC high set in late 2007. Investors are looking for signs that the bull market can keep on running. The next reporting season will shed some light on that.
Rather than waiting, be proactive and get stocks that are already tipped for good growth this year and into the next. Brokerage firm Morgans has identified four stocks that already pay good dividends and have earnings forecasts pointing upwards. Their individual financial strength also set them apart as safer, more stable companies worthy of being in a portfolio. Let's jump right in and see how they could make you RICHER over this next year.
1) Primary Health Care Limited (ASX: PRY) $4.59
Being a company that operates a network of medical centres and pathology centres, it has defensive stock qualities to help protect your portfolio from a weak market should the ASX sell off. A constant flow of business between hospitals and patients keeps earnings and dividends growing. It offers a solid 4.0% dividend yield and dividend payments are forecast to rise more than an average 10% annually over the next two years.
2) AGL Energy Ltd (ASX: AGK) $15.79
An electricity generator and retailer with upstream gas production, the stock has bumped along just under $16 for the last two years. It is involved in several LNG projects in Queensland and NSW to build up gas resource supplies. Its utilities services give it steady income streams, although a growing number of people who are using solar electricity could affect revenue growth. AGL has moved a step closer to acquiring the state owned Macquarie Generation company in NSW that supplies about 13% of electricity to the eastern states and about 40% of NSW electricity needs. It also has a 4.0% yield and earnings are forecast to gain over 10% in the next year. Of these four, this may be the weakest in the short term, but long-term prospects should be good.
3) Orora Ltd (ASX: ORA) $1.42
This packaging company recently de-merged from packaging giant Amcor Limited (ASX: AMC) and has steadily risen in price since listing in December 2013. It operates an extensive fibre and beverage packaging business in Australia and has taken over a large existing distribution network in the US, thanks to its former parent company. Already well-established, earnings are forecast to rise significantly in the next two years. It paid a three cents per share interim dividend unfranked in April. The next reporting season should show what the final dividend will be. Spin-off companies usually perform well after de-merging because they are set up with strong existing businesses and balance sheets. Look out for the growth in this one.
4) Perpetual Limited (ASX: PPT) $48.76
The investment fund manager has performed wonderfully over the past two years, but it looks like there is more to come. Stronger financial markets have returned good investment gains. Its conservative stock picking of quality companies gives shareholders stable earnings growth as well as a steady 3.2% yield fully franked. More investment funds are flowing into Perpetual, giving it more ammunition to make further gains. Both earnings and dividends are forecast by analysts to dramatically increase in the next two years. This is one case where you can leave the stock picking to the professionals and just buy its stock for your own gains. If you can't beat them, buy them!
A better buy than these 3
Of these four stocks, I would prefer Perpetual over the next year because of the higher revenue and earnings growth potential in a strong market. However, there's 1 company which I think could be an even better buy for investors looking for both growth and dividends.

IRVING, Texas – Jason Garrett referred to Dez Bryant's adventurous punt return near the end of the third quarter Sunday as "pretty darn aggressive – and arguably too aggressive."
Flirting with disaster would be another way to put it.
Bryant misjudged the 55-yard punt and had to make a difficult, over-the-head grab just to get the ball in his hands. And that was just the beginning of the adventure. Bryant made two Carolina tacklers miss, switched the ball from his right hand to his left hand and held it like a loaf of bread before finally going down.
All that for a 3-yard loss.
"Ultimately, I think we all were relieved when he was tackled and we still had the ball," Garrett said.
After the game, Bryant said he should have just let the ball hit at the 14-yard line after misjudging it. By that time, the coaching staff had made sure to get the message across that even the most dynamic playmakers need to mix in a little caution on occasion.
"I had it in my mind that I had to make a play," said Bryant, who had been checked for a concussion and cleared after taking a hard hit on his previous punt return. "I didn't know where I was on the field. All I was thinking about was returning the ball."
Disaster avoided, Garrett just hopes Bryant learns a lesson from the play. The Cowboys want Bryant to be aggressive, but this clearly crossed the line to recklessness.
"Ball security is line one as a returner," Garrett said. "He was aggressive catching that thing over his head. And maybe worse than that was holding the ball as loosely as he held it once he had the ball in his hands. And that's something you've heard me preach a ton. We drill it all the time. For a guy like that, you keep wanting to give him opportunities, but he's got to make sure he secures it better."
