DEFINITION of 'Letter Of Comment'
A letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission that is sent to a company in response to filing its registration statement. The main purpose of the comment letter is to assist the issuing company in making the information in their registration statement (or S-1) clear, transparent and free from irregularity before an issuance of new shares.
The items covered in a registration statement include the company's financial details, operations and management history, and any other important facts. The letter will typically be informal in nature, and is done as a courtesy, saving both the company and the SEC time and frustration down the road, and protecting investors from any misleading or inaccurate information.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Letter Of Comment'
Publicly-traded companies can greatly cut down on the time needed to come to market with new issues if they can anticipate what comments might come from the SEC and address them before the registration statement is first completed. The registration statement will become "effective" when all facts have been signed off by the SEC.

About Leah
I moved to the desert as a single mom to get away from the bustle of city life. My years in the Caribbean and later England lent to the inspirations that helped in the design of my home. The design process was a Mommy and Me project shared with my then 13 year old daughter Bodhi. Bodhi's design ideas allowed for the playful lines that only a child can add and hence the home is called Bodhi's Lake House. My son Zen added the technical supports allowing this home to accommodate future smart house advances. Steno Designs made the elegant graceful flow all possible.
Leah purchased this house in 2005
Why Leah chose Helendale
When we found this lot we knew it would provide the peace and tranquility we were looking for. We designed our home to portray the pristine beauty of the desert we love. The children and I had planned to open it up to guests in the future and now the future is here!

Some commentators have suggested that QE3 is a sign of the U.S. engaging in a currency war. While I am sympathetic to this view because several central banks around the world have taken steps that could devalue their currency, I think it is unfair and inaccurate to dub this a "currency war." It is even more unfair to claim that the U.S. has in some way "started" a currency war.
In the past few months, the ECB, Bank of Japan, Bank of England and People's Bank of China have all taken steps to stimulate their respective economies. Each of these steps could be seen as an attempt to devalue their currency to boost exports. In the case of China, and to a lesser extent Japan, that is not an unrealistic conclusion. However, for the net importing economies, that is an odd conclusion to draw.
As for the Fed, QE3 definitely counts as stimulus and can be seen as an effort to devalue the dollar, but it hasn't really worked yet. The dollar is still within a couple percent of its year-to-date high against most trading peers. So, either the Fed is losing the currency war or the United States is not in one.
As I noted in my commentary after the September FOMC meeting, the Fed has simply shifted its objectives. To some extent, they had no choice but to shift toward an easing policy to keep pace with a number of trading partners taking similar measures. If the Fed didn't act, it would be hard to maintain a domestic manufacturing sector with a dollar persistently rising in value. This would make employment growth a real challenge and weaken equity markets. However, the more reasonable way to view QE3 is still fundamentally as stimulus. One could question whether this stimulus is necessary or effective or if stimulating lending might have been a more fruitful policy direction, but to label it as the start of a currency war is hyperbolic if not wholly inaccurate.

Maternal deaths and infant HIV infections continue despite improved regimens for maternal health and prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) and increases in PMTCT services. Service uptake and retention drop off significantly at each step in the PMTCT cascade. Key social factors limiting the successful completion of the cascade are stigma and discrimination. The Health Policy Project conducted a comprehensive literature review to examine the current evidence on stigma and discrimination and their negative impact on PMTCT, as well as the potential benefits of integrating PMTCT into antenatal care (ANC) and maternal, neonatal, and child health (MNCH) services.
Substantial evidence indicates that stigma and discrimination affect (1) initial use of ANC services, (2) uptake of HIV testing during ANC, (3) initial participation in programs for PMTCT and HIV care, (4) use of skilled delivery services, (5) adherence to recommended infant feeding practices, (6) participation in early infant diagnosis, and (7) retention in and adherence to these programs during and after pregnancy.
It will be impossible to reduce HIV-related maternal mortality without lowering the barriers of stigma and discrimination. Integrating maternal health and HIV services may not be enough to overcome social barriers that keep women, partners, and infants from fully accessing health services. Alongside important modifications to make clinical services more effective, convenient, and accessible for pregnant women and families; PMTCT, maternal, neonatal, and child health services must address HIV-related stigma and discrimination.

Entrepreneur Dies in CitationJet Crash
The Cessna 525 CitationJet that crashed in West Gardiner, Maine, on February 1 was owned and flown by Silicon Valley entrepreneur Jeanette Symons, an instrument-rated private pilot. The crash killed Symons and her 10-year-old son. According to the National Transportation Safety Board, the weather turned from light snow to freezing rain before the flight of the CitationJet, which reportedly was not de-iced. The NTSB said Symons did not turn on the pilot-controlled taxiway and runway lights, and the airplane reportedly went through an ice and snow-covered ditch while taxiing. Two minutes after takeoff, Symons declared an emergency and said, "We've got an attitude indicator failure." Radar contact was lost shortly after this transmission, and the wreckage was found six miles from Augusta State Airport.

Stacey Cole's Nature Talks: Reader's patience pays off as hummingbirds return
One of our Windham readers wrote in mid-May: "I am writing because though it is not rare, we had an Indigo Bunting stay a long time on our feeders. That was a real treat as I have only seen them rarely in my lifetime. I was glad to have this one. I put the lids on my tube-feeders as I had neglected doing that. The squirrels had easily knocked them off in order to put their heads and upper bodies down into the feeders to eat the seeds. The birds never had a chance.
Our reader was fortunate to have had visits from these two species. As our reader noted, a visit by a migrating Indigo Bunting is not rare, although it has been a few years since one has called at our feeders. Annually, for several years, a pair of indigo buntings nested in our corn field located next to the house. We gave up raising sweet corn in that field when we closed our egg, poultry, frozen chicken pie and vegetable store.The red-headed woodpecker is a different story. Not one has ever paid us a visit that I know of. According to Carol R. Foss, writing in the aforementioned breeding bird Atlas, "the colorful Red-headed Woodpecker occurs only occasionally in New Hampshire. [Generally] Red-headed Woodpeckers are only locally common throughout their range, and are scarce in New England. Typical breeding habitat includes open woods and open country with scattered trees. The breeding range extends from the Atlantic Coast to the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, from the Gulf Coast north to New England and southern Canada. The wintering range extends west to southern Minnesota and western Oklahoma, and north to southern New York. They rarely winter in New Hampshire. The sexes are alike in plumage. Juveniles lack the red heads and are duller than adults with black bands on their white wing patches and obvious white rumps."

Riley bothered by Shaq's criticism of Heat players, staff
Shaq A Magic Man?
Not only does Shaquille O'Neal have a lot to say about how the Miami Heat franchise is run, he wants to weigh in on the Orlando Magic someday as well.
According to the Orlando Sentinel, O'Neal would like to return to the team that drafted him and take over management when his playing career ends following the 2009-10 season.
He also plans to bring former Heat and current Suns teammate Grant Hill with him.
"Grant will be the team president -- he's a bright guy -- and I'll be the general manager," O'Neal said, according to the newspaper. "I'm serious. They need me down there with the new arena coming. Grant and I are coming to do the job."
O'Neal maintains a home in Orlando.
"A thousand days, and I'm coming home," he said, according to the paper. "I'm going to use what I call my bridge general manager skills. A lot of general managers try to do it themselves. I build bridges. I'll have teammates. All this is in a perfect world. That's my dream, anyway."
-- ESPN.com news services
NEW YORK -- Pat Riley can't understand why Shaquille O'Neal keeps talking about the Miami Heat.
Riley responded to O'Neal's criticisms Wednesday with some of his own, saying his former center was wrong to disparage some of his old teammates and trainers in a Boston Globe story.
"It's sad that he says those things. We shared so much here, together, for three years, good and bad, 3½ years," Riley said, referring specifically to the Heat's 2006 NBA title. "I just think it's sad that he's got to do that."
Riley dealt O'Neal to Phoenix before the trade deadline, allowing the 36-year-old center the chance to compete for another title instead of sticking around Miami for a last-place finish. O'Neal made it clear how much he prefers his new teammates.
"I love playing for this coach and I love playing with these guys," O'Neal told the Globe. "We have professionals who know what to do. No one is asking me to play with Chris Quinn or Ricky Davis. I'm actually on a team again."
After Phoenix's loss to Boston, O'Neal elaborated, saying that defenses would sag off of Quinn and Davis and he wasn't able to get the ball. Of Riley's comments, O'Neal said colorfully, "I don't [care] how he interpreted it."
Reminded that reporters couldn't use the quote because of the expletive, he said, "Sure you can. You can quote me, brother. You can put an 's,' then the tic-tac-toe, the 'at' sign and then the other symbols."
Davis told the Miami Herald after the Heat's game against the Knicks on Wednesday that he didn't believe there were serious issues between the two, though they did appear at times to be frustrated with each other.
"You can't really take stuff personal in the NBA -- you'd go crazy," Davis said. "Shaq's a big guy, whatever. If that's how he feels, that's how he feels. It shows his true colors."
Quinn, in his second year, said in the Herald: "To be honest with you, I don't have too much to say about it. I don't know. But it didn't hurt me."
O'Neal was critical about shots -- as in, not getting enough of them -- often during his tenure with the Heat. This year, he expressed those sentiments in the days that followed a 110-101 loss at Utah on Dec. 3 -- a game where Quinn didn't play and O'Neal and Davis were on court together for 16 minutes, 2 seconds.
He also complained about not getting enough touches two days after going 8-for-15 in a 120-99 loss against Orlando, another game where he and Quinn never were on the court at the same time. Plus, O'Neal got into an argument with Riley during an early season practice, and words got so heated that Alonzo Mourning intervened to keep the two separated.
Keep in mind, O'Neal is the one who repeatedly referred to his Miami coach as "the great Pat Riley" during his time in South Florida. But he also was clearly miffed when Riley pulled him in the first minute of a game at New Jersey earlier this season for blowing a defensive assignment.
Riley said he doesn't have "anything but good feelings for Shaq" and wasn't bothered by any criticism leveled at him. But he said O'Neal has no reason to blame anyone else in the organization for his unhappiness.
"When you're 9-40, we're all frustrated. I mean everybody's at fault, we all were. Everybody was feeling bad and nobody wants that," Riley said.
"He didn't want to be there, he didn't want to play for that kind of situation, 35 years old. He wanted to go to a contender and we sent him there. We sent him to Utopia and we're left here with the carnage and I don't know why he's not happy."
Riley also defended the work of veteran trainer Ron Culp and the team's medical staff, saying O'Neal was out of line to speak poorly of them.
"It's really a shame that he would insult those people like that because they gave him care. They cared," Riley said. "They didn't kiss his butt. They cared about him.
"He can do whatever he wants to do to me. That's OK, I don't care. But those men, they tried. ... That upsets me more than anything."

We read about Augie's on Trip Advisor. They have excellent breakfast choices. I had the waffle and omelet combo which was outstanding.
Visited this place with DinerDon and the Crew from MASACC… Absolutely get the pancakes, waffles and the omelet's… don't waste time with anything else… Great food, Great Time, Great Friends and Family… Thank again girls for the terrific service.
Ate here with another couple and all of us commented on how the food was delicious. The pancakes and the omelettes get the highest marks. A little noisy and a little crowded but I can live with that if the food and service are excellent. Plan to come back more often.
Good solid breakfast and generous omlette with homefries although the Greek Omelette was crudely made with whole pieces of spinach - usually chopped up and more blended in any other restaurant. The blueberry pancakes had delicious fresh blueberries. Server was above average. We would return.
Great breakfast, excellent malted waffles, pancakes, and large breakfast menu. Went back a few times during our stay. Omelettes excellent, fluffy and not crusty brown since they finish them in the oven. Even able to poach eggs without being hard-boiled. Nice portions. Server was attentive, friendly and kept the good coffee coming. Good prices and even a senior menu.
The food was good. The atmosphere was very loud. They pack a lot of people in this place and it is hard to hear the other people at your table. This place along with most of OC NJ does not take Credit Cards. Everything is cash. Not traveler friendly. Who likes to carry cash everywhere? Or pay the ATM fees...
Servers were very nice and quick to serve the children. Had some pancakes and they were excellent! With the Taylor Ham and Cheese and made the mistake of having it put on a brioche as they didn't have kaiser rolls (next time, I would have it on toast or a bagel).
Just a small place close to motels, hotels and the boardwalk and beach. Really great food and quite a lot of it! Very reasonable and food was really good.
Four of us went there for breakfast. The food was excellent. The waffles were great. The fruit was very fresh and appetizing. I had a cheese omelet which was perfect. It was just the right size and the cheese was not overpowering. Everything was fresh and good. I would definitely go back.
They do not take credit cards, so you...
Food is delicious and service is quick. The portions are plentiful and reasonably priced. LOVE this place for breakfast!

What would it be like if you were consistently effective in everything you did? How would you feel? Brilliant, right?!
Whether it's a great marriage or improved health and fitness, truth is, we can all experience greater measures of success in our lives if we develop the personal disciplines that compliment what we want to achieve.
Yet for many of us, what often happens is that we face the frustrations that arise from our waning self-discipline and are left wondering where we've got things wrong – again!
I know first hand the feeling of disappointment associated with failing to be consistent in the things that matter most. And as a parent, husband, and small business owner, on occasion, I've suffered the consequences that resulted from a lack of discipline.
But what I've also found in my experience is that alongside the power of setting specific goals, there are five steps, that when applied, make me more effective in every area of my life.
Have a read of these five steps that I think are key to developing a new discipline, and let me know what you would add.
1. Know the 'why?'
This is by far the most important of the steps, because there's no point in even approaching the issue of becoming more disciplined, without first acknowledging when change is necessary for the achievement of a desired outcome.
We need to first be be honest. Seeing that there's a need and getting a grasp on why we need to make the change is the most important step towards developing a particular discipline.
Without this recognition, we remain blind to the reality of how our lack of discipline affects our lives. And worst still, when things get difficult, without the motivation that comes from knowing why we're doing the stuff we're doing, we're more likely to give up.
2. Do one thing at a time
Leading on from recognising our need to be more disciplined, the next step is to take an approach that'll set us up for success.
[Tweet ""Successful people are simply those with successful habits." Brian Tracy"]
The reverse is true too. Unsuccessful people are those with unsuccessful habits. So deciding on one discipline at a time is important, as making too many changes at once will make success harder.
Being habitual by nature means that real and lasting change doesn't happen overnight. The development of new habits requires time, commitment and patience.
The key to being more effective in developing a new discipline is to identify where to begin and then commit to one thing at a time.
3. Set goals
Once clear on the discipline we want to develop, we need something to aim for that makes what we're doing more tangible and real. We need a goal.
In developing a new discipline, having a plan needn't be a scary or complicated thing. We can make it as simple as we like.
For example, one of my disciplines is to read a portion of the Bible each day. Another is to give at least one affirmation to my wife and children each day. Another is to journal.
I'm clear on why I'm doing each of them, and none of them are too complicated.
4. Ask for the input of others
We're all creatures of habit, and this applies to whether the habits are good, bad, or ugly.
Having the support of others can be more helpful in the development of new disciplines than we might think.
Why? Because firstly, others see our blind spots, and secondly, when we give them permission, they can hold us to account.
I know that for myself, when I'm tempted to give up on something, being held to account by another creates in me a renewed sense of commitment.
5. Make a start
When all is said and done, the development of any new discipline isn't going to happen if all we do is think about it.
For any chance of success in achieving the goals we've set ourselves, we must make a decision to start the work required. We must take action.
In order to realise effectiveness in any area of our lives, we need to commit to the moment by moment practice of our newly developed discipline.
We all know that without discipline we can't succeed. Equally, we know that being consistently disciplined can be our biggest challenge.
Self-discipline, believe it or not, is learned behaviour and is developed through repetition and daily practice. It requires effort.
So though we must allow for mistakes. learn to forgive ourselves and move on, we ought also to give our best in the pursuit of each new discipline.
Over to you
Which new discipline do you want to develop? What stage are you at in the 5 step process I've shared? What's stopping you?

So midbass for HT is 50Hz-150Hz-ish?
Isn't that very localizable? I would think you would want very capable surrounds, at least MTM's, no? My subs are meant for hugely exaggerated ULF yet I still get excellent (to me) output to 250Hz from them.
I'm asking, curious, don't mean to hijack
Currently, my sonosub is capable to going down to 15hz or so (see graph). It's an avalanche 15" powered by the crown xls 802 on one channel (800w @ 4ohms).
I'm using Shure DFR 11EQ for EQ. With these two midbass subs, I will set the LPF on Shure DFR at 50hz so that my sonosub will only handle the 15hz - 50hz region. I will use the QSC amp which has the HPF at 50hz for my two midbass subs. I also have an extra Shure DFR 11EQ to use for the midbas subs. I will set the crossover on my Marantz SR 8001 receiver at 140hz. That means my two midbass subs will handle 50hz - 140hz region. I hope this makes sense or at least that's my plan. Does this sound okay to you guys?

$600 million in Jewish charitable funds lost
(photo credit:AP)
At least $600 million in Jewish charitable funds have been wiped out by the collapse of Bernard Madoff's Wall Street investment firm, a partial review by The Jerusalem Post revealed Monday.
Yet much is still hidden about what may amount to the most spectacular financial disaster to hit Jewish life since the Great Depression, with unconfirmed losses totaling up to $1.5 billion.
Furthermore, the Post's figures do not include billions of dollars lost to individual and family investors, many of whom were the primary donors to Jewish schools, synagogues and communal charities.
The Madoff scandal erupted last Thursday when the 70-year-old financier was arrested on a single count of securities fraud at his Park Avenue home after being turned in by his sons.
Prosecutors contend that Madoff, who is free on a $10 million bond, told employees of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities that he had lost as much as $50 billion in investor funds and reportedly described his operation as "a giant Ponzi scheme."
For the worldwide Jewish community, the fact that the man at the heart of what may be Wall Street's worst-ever fraud was an active member of the community could be the worst news yet in a bad recession period. Not only could Madoff's alleged dishonesty increase anti-Semitic feeling in a time of worldwide economic downturn, said many Jewish leaders, but his close involvement with the Jewish community has exposed vast amounts of Jewish communal assets to his scheme.
Most of the Jewish leaders reached by the Post on Monday said they did not yet know the extent of the damage to their own organizations because they were still checking with their major donors and reviewing their investment portfolios to determine their exposure to Madoff's scheme.
Some organizations, however, already know they have been hit, with many of them hit hard. Reports are surfacing that Yeshiva University has lost far more than a reported estimate of $100m. from its endowment fund, though the university declined to respond to an explicit query about the rumor.
The American Jewish Congress also declined to respond to a query about reports that a majority of its endowment has been lost, a loss that would threaten the organization's survival.
Following the closure of the Massachusetts-based Robert I. Lappin Charitable Foundation and the dramatic overnight disappearance of the much larger Chais Family Foundation, these reports do not bode well for a community that has yet to catch its breath amid an avalanche of bad news.
"It's a major massive shock to the philanthropic system. You have organizations that may not be viable entities without the resources that would have come either directly from endowments or from significant donors," said Sandy Cardin, president of the Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Foundation, which, he said, did not take a hit from the collapse.
Among the major losses announced over the weekend, the Los Angeles Jewish Community Fund reported that its $25.5m. investment in Madoff's firm had disappeared, the Carl and Ruth Shapiro Family Foundation may have lost as much as $145m., while the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, had some $6m. in funds invested with Madoff's firm.
Contradicting rumors that the UJA Federation of New York had taken a significant hit as well, spokeswoman Jane Rubinstein said the federation had "no exposure" to Madoff directly and did not believe that any of its funds had been reinvested with Madoff through third-party money managers.
"This is a tidal wave, a tsunami," said a veteran advisor to Jewish nonprofits, who spoke on condition of anonymity. "You can live with a downturn in the economy, because there will be an upturn. But now we're talking about foundations that have been wiped out completely, money that's not recoverable."
Though observers agree it is still too early to ascertain the full extent of the damage, some estimates expect a 20 percent reduction in funding for US Jewish federations. The cutbacks are expected to hit educational and Israel programs first as the federations work to keep their local charity efforts going.
"People who are starving are going to have to continue to be fed," Avraham Infeld, president of the collapsed Chais Family Foundation, told the Post on Monday. "That means every other kind of Jewish expenditure is going to have to move aside in order to allow welfare to take place for the aged and the poor."
According to Infeld, "this is probably the hardest financial hit ever for the Jewish community. There will be major mergers, cutbacks, and once-and-for-all removal of duplications in the organizations. Why do I need both the Jewish Agency and the Joint [Distribution Committee] today?"
The loss of billions of dollars to Jewish life already hit hard by a worsening recession will hurt everyone, said Infeld.
"I don't think there will be a single institution of Jewish life that will go unaffected. Nobody can sit by the side and say 'this will pass.' It's not going to pass."
The Madoff crisis marked an unprecedented loss to the "Jewish economy" - the networks of Jewish institutions, donors and charities that include universities, schools, hospitals and community centers, agreed Jonathan Sarna, a scholar of American Jewish history at Brandeis University.
"I know of nothing [in history] on this scale," he said.
Sarna predicted that the wholesale destruction of fortunes and endowments would prove to be a turning point in American Jewish institutional life, which over the past 20 years has moved from a model of community funding - collecting small donations from a broad swath of donors - to focusing on a handful of "cowboy" mega-donors who launched hugely successful programs like birthright Israel outside of the traditional federation system.
"The reduction of billions - not millions but billions - in the Jewish economy means that there is just not going to be enough money to sustain all the institutions and initiatives that have been created," Sarna told the Post.
"We will be a poorer community for that. What's been wiped out is an infrastructure that was particularly important in sustaining these institutions. The people who were invested with Madoff were the generation that not only supported institutions like Yeshiva University or the Holocaust museums, but that created them," Sarna said.
Older donors from Florida's Palm Beach community, where Madoff found many of his investors, might be replaced by a younger generation of Jews whose wealth was invested elsewhere, Sarna speculated.
"It's a different group of people who will be called on to step in. It's almost impossible to imagine that the group that has lost so much money will regain it," he said.
The challenge facing American Jewry will be saving programs and institutions that provide "the most bang for the buck," a task complicated by the absence of a unifying organization to take the lead.
"Are these decisions going to be made by the market... or are we going to ask for a communal bailout?" Sarna asked. "We don't have anybody who can act with the speed and the authority of the federal government, and it's going to take time to sort this out and figure out how to make these decisions professionally."
The crisis triggered by the Madoff scandal was amplified by the scale of losses already sustained by nonprofit foundations and individual donors in the stock market over the past three months, which had already left many struggling to meet their budgets for the coming year.
"It's a triple whammy for Jewish and other not-for-profits that are already staggering because their donor base has been so hard-hit by the sharp drop in the value of their assets, and their own endowments have declined too," said Jack Wertheimer, a professor at the Jewish Theological Seminary.
Most of the nearly $20b. in losses already reported due to the Madoff scheme have been carried by financial institutions in the United States and Europe.
As the bad news continues to pour in, some media reports are beginning to question the "disgraceful negligence" on the part of American financial regulators, who reportedly examined Madoff's investment operation several times over a 20-year period without finding any wrongdoing.
"There were a lot of very sophisticated people who were duped, and that happens a great deal when you've had somebody decide to be unscrupulous," said Harvey Pitt, a former chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, a regulator in charge of monitoring investment funds like the one Madoff operated.

Digging: Kenn Nardi - Dancing With the Past
Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound Offname one good song off STD. I can't
Album Rating: 4.5the title track...your argument is invalid
Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound OffAre you fucking serious? The title track is near the bottom of the list, it's soo boooooooring. So is nerve. These songs wouldn't be much different if all the guitars were taken out, mind you.

Album Rating: 4.0My favorite Soilwork album
Digging: Primordial - Where Greater Men Have Fallen
Album Rating: 5.0First off, to the guy who said Panic Broadcast was as good as Predator's Portrait.. Fuck you! F'ing troll.
Second off, glad to see this album is getting the respect it deserves in the overall user rating. People call "Heritage" a brave a album, but The Living Infinite is both brave and ACTUALLY F'ING GOOD! Not only good, but the best soilwork (double)album in about a decade!
Third and finally, excellent review Trey. Could not have said it any better. You obviously have great taste in metal, and music in general.

Album Rating: 5.0Emyay, given the average rating across 588 votes is 4.3/5.0, it seems that you are in quite the minority.
Indeed, if you hate this album so much why are you a top 10 commenter in this thread? It seems like you make an appearance at least once per page, just to make some passive aggressive insult aimed at the band and/or the album with no real substance or reasoning behind it.
Did Speed bang your wife or something?
Album Rating: 2.0usually i just wouldn't care but i listened to this a bunch and its just so boring. its not awful, not
really that bad, but it just does everything in the most average way possible. then theres the length,
hence the 2
Album Rating: 4.5Everyone keeps complaining about the length. You don't have to listen to it in one sitting. Geez.

Enter to win a DIRECTV Kingdom prize pack*!
To enter, comment this post with your favorite sport. I'll pick 1 of you at random to win 1 week from today at 5PM ET. (U.S. residents only) Good luck!
Kingdom is a raw family drama set against the world of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) in Venice, California. Alvey Kulina owns Navy St. MMA with the help of his girlfriend Lisa. He is willing to go through extraordinary means to make sure his fighters are taken care of, but all of this responsibility comes at a steep price. He has complicated relationships with both of his sons, Jay and Nate, who are both struggling with their own identities and place in Alvey's life and gym. Byron Balasco is creator, executive producer and showrunner.
The Kingdom cast stars Frank Grillo (Captain America: The Winter Soldier; Homefront; Warrior) as Alvey Kulina, a Mixed Martial Arts legend and owner of Navy St. MMA gym based in Venice, CA; Kiele Sanchez (The Glades; Lost) as Lisa Prince, Alvey's girlfriend; Matt Lauria (Friday Night Lights) as Ryan Wheeler, the world-class athlete who had it all, including Lisa Prince, until his spiraling drug addiction landed him in prison; Jonathan Tucker (Parenthood) as Jay Kulina, Alvey's eldest son; Nick Jonas as Nate Kulina, Alvey's youngest son and the prized fighter at the gym and Joanna Going (House of Cards; Mad Men) as Christina Kulina, Alvey's estranged wife and mother to Jay and Nate.
When word gets out that superstar Ryan Wheeler is training with Alvey, Navy St. MMA gym begins to gain some attention. Finally, Alvey begins to taste a bit of the glamour to go with the grit. He is willing to go through extraordinary means to make sure his fighters are taken care of, but all of this success and responsibility comes at a steep price. Despite Lisa's pleas to Alvey not to let her ex train at the gym, suspecting he has ulterior motives and knowing her feelings for him are unresolved, Alvey let the wolf in the door on the grounds that his relationship with Lisa is solid and the belief that Ryan is ready for the road to redemption. Ryan, however, is not the only superstar at Navy St. MMA making headlines. Lisa's reputation as a savvy businesswoman is beginning to grow outside of the Navy St MMA gym walls. She is approached by investors who want to put money into Alvey's gym and it may be impossible for her to say no. Is his comeback truly about wanting to make amends or will too much fame, money and access threaten Ryan's intentions and his return to glory? For Jay, if he can start earning money by getting back into the cage, he might be able to get his mother Christina off of the streets and settle the score with the guys who assaulted his brother Nate, who is forced to take a hiatus from fighting to recover from his injuries.
Tune-in to the premiere of Kingdom on October 8 at 9pm on AUDIENCE Network – Ch 239. Only on DIRECTV!
*The DIRECTV Kingdom prize pack includes a gym duffel bag, t-shirt, metal water bottle, and gym towel!!

St. Sebastian Comments
According to his legend, Sebastian was born at Narbonne, Gaul. He became a soldier in the Roman army at Rome in about 283, and encouraged Marcellian and Marcus, under sentence of death, to remain firm in their faith. Sebastian made numerous converts: among them were the master of the rolls, Nicostratus, who was in charge of prisoners and his wife, Zoe, a deaf mute whom he cured; the jailer Claudius; Chromatius, Prefect of Rome, whom he cured of ...

For more than 70 years, Tallahassee Nurseries has outfitted outdoor spaces with its expansive selection of plants, gardening products, and expert advice. The greenhouse and nursery house hundreds of annuals, perennials, shrubs, and groundcover options, all looking to settle down, raise a brood of young buds, and grow peacefully around the pickets of white fences. Plant a hummingbird bush to coat the ground in a technicolor dream-shrub and attract hungry hummingbirds and nectar-craving bumblebees ($4.99–$6.99). Or, spruce up a once-frosted bed with an assortment of 4-inch bedding plants, ranging from begonias, caladiums, and zinnias to larkspur, snapdragons, and piranha plants ($1.69+).
The School of Arts and Sciences offers plant enthusiasts two days' worth of ambling horticultural education in six different tourable garden locales. Family groups of up to six people can explore six flora-infested Tour of Gardens spaces, either in self-guided sessions or expertly guided tours. Roam the oak-infused lawns and historic rose gardens of the Goodwood Museum & Gardens, or gain the help of a guide to unearth botanical secrets in the secluded Hidden Garden. An educational session at the Organic Vegetable Garden provides aspiring subsistence farmers with tips on garden layouts and compost making, ensuring they'll never again be forced to bite into the sauna-grown potatoes sold in seedy grocery establishments. Junior family members can bounce across a rubber-cushioned, fun-filled green space in the Backyard Playscape.

Juan re-creates the experience during a live demonstration as guests gather around the cooking site, an open wood fire that fills nostrils with the aromatic fragrances of roasted garlic, spices, and saffron rice. Ears remain attuned to the mellifluous melodies of master guitarist Silviu Ciulei, strumming the harmonious beats of flamenco music, while tongues stay entertained with the Spanish salad—a mix of lettuce, tomatoes, Spanish olives, and white tuna, splashed with olive oil and wine vinegars—and a complimentary glass of sangria. When the main course arrives, anticipating eaters relish in the tender meats, seafood, or vegetables resting atop a bed of saffron rice.

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. builders started construction last month on the most homes and apartments since July 2008, more evidence that the housing recovery is gaining momentum.
The Commerce Department said Tuesday that builders broke ground on homes in October at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 894,000. That's a 3.6 percent gain from September.
Single-family home construction dipped 0.2 percent to an annual rate of 594,000, down from a four-year high in the previous month. Apartment construction, which is more volatile from month to month, rose 10 percent to an annual rate of 285,000.
Applications for building permits, a sign of future construction, fell 2.7 percent to 866,000, after jumping 12 percent in September to a four-year high. Still, permit applications to build single-family homes rose to their highest level since July 2008.
"The overwhelming trend here is a housing market that has clearly shifted into recovery mode," Robert Kavcic, an economist at BMO Capital Markets, said in a note to clients.
Housing starts are 87 percent above the annual rate of 478,000 in April 2009, the recession low. That's still short of the 1.5 million annual rate considered healthy.
Superstorm Sandy had minimal impact on the October figures, the government said. It could delay some construction in November. Still, residential construction activity in region should get a boost soon after when builders begin replacing homes destroyed by the storm.
The housing market has been making consistent gains this year, helping prop up an economy that's being squeezed by a global slowdown and looming spending cuts and tax increases.

text: Crimson Trace 'Rail Master Pro' Changes The Way You Look at The Dark Print article Send a Tip by AWR Hawkins 20 Aug 2014 post a comment Crimson Trace has come to be known for the durability and accuracy of the integrated lasers they make for everything from Glocks to Kimbers to Smith & Wesson semi-autos, snub-nose revolvers, and beyond. Each laser is specifically designed to fit a certain gun make and model (e.g., a Glock 42, a Kimber Solo, a Smith & Wesson Shield 9mm, and so on.) But ironically, Crimson Trace may have outdone themselves with a rail-mounted laser/light combo made for "most rail-adapted pistols, rifles, and shotguns," rather than for a certain make and model. Called the Rail Master Pro, this new product combines a laser--red or green, your choice--with "a powerful 100-Lumen LED white light" that helps you see what goes bump in the night in your house or outside of your vehicle. The laser/light combo is activated with Crimson Trace's Instant Activation tabs, which are located at your fingertips when the Rail Master Pro is mounted on a pistol. It takes just a few minutes to mount the Rail Master Pro on the rail of a pistol, rifle, or shotgun. After that, it takes only minutes more to zero in the laser with the adjustment tools that Crimson Trace provides. The Rail Master Pro comes pre-programmed with four operational modes: Laser and light together, laser only, light only, or laser on with light in strobe mode. In the default mode of laser/light together, the Rail Master Pro changes the way you look at the dark.
