Generally the most standard of background checks are made use of to take a look at rap sheets of the individual you have to understand about and potentially a credit rating check also. These checks are specifically helpful for property owners and companies so that they find out about the individual who is possibly going to be working or living at their facility. Prior bankruptcies or any substantial financial obligation can raise a warning about the individual's capability to be appropriate for a certain position or to see if they would be loyal in paying lease monthly.
A criminal record is an account of all activities processed through criminal justice firms and, police and bureaus.
If somebody thinks that a member of the family, good friend or associate is at danger or in risk from another buddy, associate or next-door neighbor then they can ask for a rap sheets search to make sure the security of that individual. The understanding acquired from the search can make sure the security of those you are close to and concerned about. It might even avoid something occurring in the future.
Getting a background look at somebody is extremely important, that is why our business will put all the details you require right within your reaches. Learn about a specific individual rapidly and properly, and never ever be amazed with any impressions once more
Comprehend that there will be some restrictions on the info that you get from background checks. There are numerous federal statutes that control just how much details can be collected for one factor and utilized in a background check. There are various acts in location that manage details that is launched such as somebody's driving records, monetary details and some credit info.
Basically it is the search through the general public records of all activities processed through the criminal justice companies and police bureaus and companies. The search will have to gauge the categorization of the criminal background records and the place they are held at.
No matter what you require one for, a background check is extremely essential to lessen your threat when handling individuals you do not understand. With the Web being so easily accessible, background checks are even simpler to get than they made use of to be, so there is no reason not to obtain one when required.

AMD Releases 2014 Mobile APU Details: Beema and Mullins Cut TDPs
Subject: Processors | November 13, 2013 - 05:35 PM | Josh Walrath
Tagged: Puma, Mullins, mobile, Jaguar, GCN, beema, apu13, APU, amd, 2014
AMD's APU13 is all about APUs and their programming, but the hardware we have seen so far has been dominated by the upcoming Kaveri products for FM2+. It seems that AMD has more up their sleeves for release this next year, and it has somewhat caught me off guard. The Beema and Mullins based products are being announced today, but we do not have exact details on these products. The codenames have been around for some time now, but interest has been minimal since they are evolutionary products based on Kabini and Temash APUs that have been available this year. Little did I know that things would be far more interesting than that.
The basis for Beema and Mullins is the Puma core. This is a highly optimized revision of Jaguar, and in some ways can be considered a new design. All of the basics in terms of execution units, caches, and memory controllers are the same. What AMD has done is go through the design with a fine toothed comb and make it far more efficient per clock than what we have seen previously. This is still a 28 nm part, but the extra attention and love lavished upon it by AMD has resulted in a much more efficient system architecture for the CPU and GPU portions.
The parts will be offered in two and four core configurations. Beema will span from 10W to 25W configurations. Mullins will go all the way down to "2W SDP". SDP essentially means that while the chip can be theoretically rated higher, it will rarely go above that 2W envelope in the vast majority of situations. These chips are expected to be around 2X more efficient per clock than the previous Jaguar based products. This means that at similar clock speeds, Beema and Mullins will pull far less power than that previous gen. It should also allow some higher clockspeeds at the top end 25W area.
These will be some of the first fanless quad cores that AMD will introduce for the tablet market. Previously we have seen tablets utilize the cut down versions of Temash to hit power targets, but with this redesign it is entirely possible to utilize the fully enabled quad core Mullins. AMD has not given us specific speeds for these products, but we can guess that they will be around what we see currently, but the chip will just have a lower TDP rating.
AMD is introducing their new security platform based on the ARM Trustzone. Essentially a small ARM Cortex A5 is integrated in the design and handles the security aspects of this feature. We were not briefed on how this achieves security, but the slide below gives some of the bullet points of the technology.
Since the pure-play foundries will not have a workable 20 nm process for AMD to jump to in a timely manner, AMD had no other choice but to really optimize the Jaguar core to make it more competitive with products from Intel and the ARM partners. At 28 nm the ARM ecosystem has a power advantage over AMD, while at 22 nm Intel offers similar performance to AMD but with greater power efficiency.
This is a necessary update for AMD as the competition has certainly not slowed down. AMD is more constrained obviously by the lack of a next-generation process node available for 1H 2014, so a redesign of this magnitude was needed. The performance per watt metric is very important here, as it promises longer battery life without giving up the performance people received from the previous Kabini/Temash family of APUs. This design work could be carried over to the next generation of APUs using 20 nm and below, which hopefully will keep AMD competitive with the rest of the market. Beema and Mullins are interesting looking products that will be shown off at CES 2014.
Video: Battlefield 4 Running on AMD A10 Kaveri APU and Image Decoder HSA Acceleration
Subject: Graphics Cards, Processors | November 12, 2013 - 06:10 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: amd, Kaveri, APU, video, hsa
Yesterday at the AMD APU13 developer conference, the company showed off the upcoming Kaveri APU running Battlefield 4 completely on the integrated graphics. I was able to push the AMD guys along and get a little more personal demo to share with our readers. The Kaveri APU had some of its details revealed this week:
- Quad-core Steamroller x86
- 512 Stream Processor GPU
- 856 GFLOPS of theoretical performance
- 3.7 GHz CPU clock speed, 720 MHz GPU clock speed
AMD wanted to be sure we pointed out in this video that the estimate clock speeds for FLOP performance may not be what the demo system was run at (likely a bit lower). Also, the version of Battlefield 4 here is the standard retail version and with further improvements from the driver team as the upcoming Mantle API implementation will likely introduce even more performance for the APU.
The game was running at 1920x1080 with MOSTLY medium quality settings (lighting set to low) but the results still looked damn impressive and the frame rates were silky and smooth. Considering this is running on a desktop with integrated processor graphics, the game play experience is simply unmatched.
Memory in the system was running at 2133 MHz.
The second demo looks at the image decoding acceleration that AMD is going to enable with Kaveri APUs upon release with a driver. Essentially, as the demonstration shows in the video, AMD is overwriting the integrated Windows JPG decompression algorithm with a new one that utilizes HSA to accelerate on both the x86 and SIMD (GPU) portions of the silicon. For the most strenuous demo that used 22 MP images saw a 100% increase in performance compared to the Kaveri CPU cores alone.
More Details from Lisa Su
The executives at AMD like to break their own NDAs. Then again, they are the ones typically setting these NDA dates, so it isn't a big deal. It is no secret that Kaveri has been in the pipeline for some time. We knew a lot of the basic details of the product, but there were certainly things that were missing. Lisu Su went up onstage and shared a few new details with us.
Kaveri will be made up of 4 "Steamroller" cores, which are enhanced versions of the previous Bulldozer/Trinity/Vishera families of products. Nearly everything in the processor is doubled. It now has dual decode, more cache, larger TLBs, and a host of other smaller features that all add up to greater single thread performance and better multi-threaded handling and performance. Integer performance will be improved, and the FPU/MMX/SSE unit now features 2 x 128 bit FMAC units which can "fuse" and support AVX 256.
However, there was no mention of the fabled 6 core Kaveri. At this time, it is unlikely that particular product will be launched anytime soon.
Earth Shattering?
AMD is up to some interesting things. Today at AMD's tech day, we discovered a veritable cornucopia of information. Some of it was pretty interesting (audio), some was discussed ad-naseum (audio, audio, and more audio), and one thing in particular was quite shocking. Mantle was the final, big subject that AMD was willing to discuss. Many assumed that the R9 290X would be the primary focus of this talk, but in fact it very much was an aside that was not discussed at any length. AMD basically said, "Yes, the card exists, and it has some new features that we are not going to really go over at this time." Mantle, as a technology, is at the same time a logical step as well as an unforeseen one. So what all does Mantle mean for users?
Looking back through the mists of time, when dinosaurs roamed the earth, the individual 3D chip makers all implemented low level APIs that allowed programmers to get closer to the silicon than what other APIs such as Direct3D and OpenGL would allow. This was a very efficient way of doing things in terms of graphics performance. It was an inefficient way to do things for a developer writing code for multiple APIs. Microsoft and the Kronos Group had solutions with Direct3D and OpenGL that allowed these programmers to develop for these high level APIs very simply (comparatively so). The developers could write code that would run D3D/OpenGL, and the graphics chip manufacturers would write drivers that would interface with Direct3D/OpenGL, which then go through a hardware abstraction layer to communicate with the hardware. The onus was then on the graphics people to create solid, high performance drivers that would work well with DirectX or OpenGL, so the game developer would not have to code directly for a multitude of current and older graphics cards.
Retiring the Workhorses
There is an inevitable shift coming. Honestly, this has been quite obvious for some time, but it has just taken AMD a bit longer to get here than many have expected. Some years back we saw AMD release their new motto, "The Future is Fusion". While many thought it somewhat interesting and trite, it actually foreshadowed the massive shift from monolithic CPU cores to their APUs. Right now AMD's APUs are doing "ok" in desktops and are gaining traction in mobile applications. What most people do not realize is that AMD will be going all APU all the time in the very near future.
We can look over the past few years and see that AMD has been headed in this direction for some time, but they simply have not had all the materials in place to make this dramatic shift. To get a better understanding of where AMD is heading, how they plan to address multiple markets, and what kind of pressures they are under, we have to look at the two major non-APU markets that AMD is currently hanging onto by a thread. In some ways, timing has been against AMD, not to mention available process technologies.

IFA 2013: ASUS X102BA Ultraportable Powered by AMD Temash A4-1200
Subject: Processors, Mobile | September 4, 2013 - 11:32 AM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: Temash, ifa 2013, asus, APU, amd, a4-1200
The hits just keep coming from ASUS this morning with the announcement of a new ultraportable notebook with the ambiguous name of X102BA. Though the name might not be catchy the device itself is more interesting because of the hardware that is powering it, specifically an AMD Temash A4-1200 APU.
This marks one of the few highly visible systems being powered by the AMD Temash architecture and I will be very curious to its reception. The APU itself is a dual-core part that runs at 1.0 GHz with integrated Radeon HD 8180 graphics that is more than enough for a modest Windows 8 working environment. There is a quad-core variant of Temash available but ASUS decided to go with the dual-core option. If you need more information on the new architecture that AMD created for Kabini and Temash (based on Jaguar CPU cores and GCN GPU cores) then you should see our coverage from their announcement back in May.
The rest of the specifications are a bit more tame, including a 1366x768 10.1-in 10-point multi-touch screen, USB 3.0, 802.11n WIFI, bundled Microsoft Office Home and Student 2013 and a touted 2-second resume time.
Even though the battery life is only listed at 5 hours, the 2.4 pound weight makes the X102BA a very portable machine. Plus you can get it in Hot Pink!

AMD Gains GPU Market Share From Last Quarter
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards, Processors | August 16, 2013 - 04:00 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: nvidia, Intel, APU, amd
Despite a slight decline in PC sales compared to last quarter, graphics processors are on the rise. Jon Peddie Research attributes the heightened interest in graphics, with a decline in systems, to a trend towards multiple GPUs in a system. Crossfire and SLI, according to the report, are not driving this drift but they are relevant. More importantly, consumers are adding discrete graphics to systems with integrated solutions.
AMD has experienced an increase in shipments of 47% for laptop APUs. Desktop heterogeneous processors declined but, in all, shipments increased 11%. Intel, likewise, saw an increase albeit just 6%. NVIDIA declined 8%. AMD now enjoys a 5.8% lead in total market share over NVIDIA.
Many PCs have access to multiple graphics processors simultaneously. With an increase of available GPUs, software developers might take the plunge into fully supporting heterogeneous architectures. You could imagine a game which offloads physics or AI pathfinding to secondary graphics. Sure, the increased heat would slightly limit the turbo-performance of the CPU, but the increased parallel performance should overtake that decreased serial performance for a sensible developer.
JPR claims an average of nearly 1.4 GPUs available per system.
The increased laptop heterogeneous processors is a major win for AMD. Still, I wonder how much Never Settle played in to users dropping discrete graphics into machines which would otherwise have integrated (chipset or processor) graphics. The discrete graphics market has declined and yet somehow AMD got a boost from double-attach or replaced graphics.
The report only discusses consumer x86 tablets, desktops, laptops, and some hybrid between the previous three categories. Other processor architectures or x86 servers are not covered.
Rumored AMD Carrizo APU (Kaveri Successor) Will Support FM2+ Socket
Subject: Processors | July 31, 2013 - 03:59 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: Kaveri, fm2, carrizo, APU, amd radeon, amd
Rumors recently surfaced via VR-Zone china that AMD's Kaveri APU successor will be code-named Carrizo, and it will be compatible with the upcoming FM2+ socket and AMD A88X chipset that Kaveri will use.
AMD's Carrizo APUs will reportedly be available in TDPs up to 65W and will feature Excavator CPU cores along with a next generation Radeon GPU. Much like Kaveri, Carrizo will be fully HSA compliant. The chips will also include support for DDR4.
Carrizo will allegedly begin sampling in August 2014 with mass production starting around December. That means Carrizo will be available for purchase within the first half of 2015.
FM2+ boards like the ASUS A55BM-A/USB3 are rumored to support AMD's Carrizo APUs (the successor to Kaveri).
The rumors also suggest that Carrizo will be joined by a low power "Beema" System on a Chip (SoC) and a BGA-based Nolan APU for embedded systems. Details on these complementary chips are scarce, however. Perhaps most telling is last bit of the article that suggests that AMD will not be releasing a AM3+ Vishera CPU-only processor successor. It seems AMD is going all in as an APU company after all.
I have been looking forward to the launh of AMD's Kaveri since AFDS 2012, and Carrizo appears to be a refinement of that chip. It should be more power efficient and faster thanks to architecture tweaks and process shrinks. I think that AMDs architecture and HSA approach has potential, and I'm excited to see what these upcoming chips can do with regards to performance.
ASUS Shows Off FM2+ Motherboards Compatible With AMD Kaveri APUs
Subject: Motherboards | July 28, 2013 - 07:40 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: hUMA, Kaveri, hsa, fm2, asus, APU, A88X, A55, PCI-E 3.0, mATX
ASUS recently announced two new socket FM2+ motherboards that are compatible with AMD's upcoming "Kaveri" Accelerated Processing Units (APUs). The new boards are the A88XMA and A55BM-A/USB3 and use the A88X and A55 AMD chipsets respectively. Pricing and availability have not yet been released, but the new boards confirm that users will need new motherboards in order to take advantage of AMD's next generation APUs (though the new FM2+ boards are backwards compatible with the existing APUs, it will not work the other way around). Both motherboards should be available around the time of the Kaveri processor launch (2H 2013).
The AMD A88XMA FM2+ Motherboard.
Both the ASUS A88XMA and A55BM-A/USB3 motherboards come in the mATX form factor. The boards both have FM2+ processor sockets and expansion slots including a single PCI-E 3.0 x16 slot, one PCI-E 2.0 x1 slot, and one legacy PCI slot. The support for PCI-E 3.0 is new for AMD motherboards, and the extra bandwidth may prove useful for as graphics cards get faster and AMD works on its hUMA and HSA architectures to create a layer of virtual memory that can be simultaneously addressed by CPUs and GPUs. There will still be latency to deal with over the PCI-E bus, but more data can be moved back and forth in the same amount of time.
The two ASUS FM2+ motherboards also share the same rear IO options, which include:
- 2 x PS/2
3 x Video outputs:
- 1 x HDMI
- 1 x DVI
- 1 x VGA
- 2 x USB 3.0
- 2 x USB 2.0
- 1 x Gigabit Ethernet
- 3 x Analog audio jacks
The RJ45 jacks are backed by a Realtek 8111G Gigabit Ethernet controller and the audio jacks are handled by a Realtek ALC887-VD chipset. Finally, they also have UEFI BIOSes in common, but from there the two boards diverge in hardware capabilities.
The ASUS A88XMA is the higher-end of the two boards, and features a FM2+ socket, four DDR3 DIMM slots, and six SATA 3 6Gbps ports. It utilizes the AMD A88X chipset which is aimed at enthusiast platforms.
ASUS' A55BM-A/USB3 budget motherboard.
On the other hand, the A55BM-A/USB3 motherboard uses the cheaper A55 chipset. That motherboard features an FM2+ socket, two DDR3 DIMM slots, and six right angle SATA 2 3Gpbs ports. The A55Bm-A/USB3 should be significantly cheaper as a result of the A55 chipset and resulting hardware reductions. In most other respects, ASUS has managed to make the two baords remarkably similar, including aesthetics and basic board layout.
According to Bit-Tech, the two boards are are part of a larger family of boards with the new FM2+ sockets. As such, we should see additional ASUS boards that fill in the gaps between the two models closer to AMD's Kaveri launch. As noted above, ASUS has not provided official pricing or release date information yet.
AMD A10-6800K APU Overclocked to 8.2GHz
Subject: Processors | July 28, 2013 - 01:08 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: Richland, overclocking, LN2, APU, amd, a10-6800k
A Finnish overclocker known as "The Stilt" recently pushed an AMD Richland APU to 8.2GHz using liquid nitrogen. In doing so, The Stilt broke the world record for APU overclocking, besting his previous overclock attempt.
Specifically, the chip was a retail version of the AMD A10-6800K "Richland" APU. It was overclocked to 8203.01 MHz with a 130.21 MHz base clock and 63x multiplier. Even more impressive is that The Stilt managed the overclock with less voltage -- 1.968 volts -- than his earlier (and lower) overclock. For comparison, the earlier overclock brought the A10-6800K to 8000.48 MHz using 2.008 volts.
The system used to overclock the APU included an ASUS F2A85-V Pro motherboard, 8GB of AMD DDR3 Performance memory, and a Radeon HD 7750 graphics card. The overclocker used liquid nitrogen to cool the APU while the GPU was left at stock settings and with its default air cooler. The RAM was overclocked to 2083.6 MHz with 10-11-10-27 timings.
In all, it is an impressive overclock considering all four CPU cores were left enabled! More details along with validation of the overclock can be found over at HWBot.

To promote the exclusive thrillers and horror films on 13th Street, the toilet of a nightclub in Hamburg was specially prepared. Just after entering the room, the light suddenly goes out and the room is bathed in Black light. And now a bloody crime scene becomes visible on the floor and walls: "See what others don't see. 13TH STREET. The Action and Suspense Channel."

The owner couple of this beautiful pre-fabricated cabin on the shores of Lake Simcoe in Ontario, Canada, has been coming to their large recreational property for a quarter-century. But the big property in a great recreational location translated into lots of overnight guests and no privacy for the owners.
They felt they needed a 'getaway,' a place at their own property where they could capture the peace and serenity of the surrounding four-season nature without disturbing any of the existing trees or structures. They needed a place that remembers what the Simcoe cottage-country is all about.
The brilliant, award-winning solution by Toronto-based Taylor Smyth Architects is the one-room Sunset Cabin, a real cabin with a decidedly contemporary feel. The wonderful cabin has won several architectural and design awards and met the clients' needs perfectly.
It is a one-room (190 square feet in size), self-contained box that was built by furniture craftsmen in four weeks in a Toronto parking lot and installed on site in 10 days.
Three of the exterior walls are floor-to-ceiling glass and of those, two are encased in horizontal cedar-screens for privacy, shade and light effects inside. One of the cedar screens has a large opening providing a direct view of the sunset from the built-in bed. The rest of the screen has random smaller gaps to allow various vignettes of the surrounding nature and to create fantastic light patterns inside. The slats are positioned so that there is no direct view in from the outside, but at the same time, it the inside feels almost wall-less.
The untreated cedar of the outer structure will turn silvery grey over time, helping the cabin blend in with its natural surroundings. In addition, the roof, visible from the existing main building, is a green roof planted with native plants of the area, further ensuring that the building mixes in with the landscape rather than sticks out in it.
All interior surfaces are unpainted birch veneer plywood, including the built-in storage cabinets. Doors at both ends of the cabin allow for cross ventilation. The interior floor extends outside to form a deck where the rustic feel continues with the screened-off outdoor shower.
The owners are apparently spending more time at their property than ever before. They enjoy the cabin year-round, heating it by a wood-burning stove and, if needed, electric heaters. Most likely, they are not inviting guests to share the space, so we can join in only by admiring the images. By Tuija Seipell
Produced by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo of Daft Punk and released by Air's label Record Makers, Sebastien Tellier's new album 'Sexuality' is a rhythmic ode to - you guessed it - the art of love making.
'Sexuality' explores the common ground between Daft Punk's 'Make Love' and Air's 'Sexy Boy'.
Tellier's songs traverse voluptuous synths and sweeping strings. The drums throb and whir soothingly at the edges of the sound. Tellier sings in a convincing coo and whisper as if he is updating Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot's ascendant 'Je T'Aime Moi Non Plus'.
Where Tellier's French contemporaries like Justice head for the euphoric, chanting hooks, Tellier goes mellow, radiating warmth and revealing subtle analogue textures.
On the film clip for the instrumental track 'Sexual Sportswear', Tellier loops his keyboards like a double helix as a female body, lit up to resemble the iconic cover art for A Tribe Called Quest's 'The Low End Theory', writhes and moves to the music. By Nick Christie
Most definitely one for the lovers.
Zaha Hadid's silvery building resembling a sub-surface ferry or a space ship is the winning entry in the competition for the design of the Guggenheim Hermitage Museum in the ancient city of Vilnius, capital and the largest city of the Republic of Lithuania.
The jury selected Hadid's (Zaha Hadid Architects) design over those of equally famous architects Daniel Libeskind (Studio Daniel Libeskind) and Massimiliano Fuksas (Studio Fuksas).
A feasibility study, commissioned by the recently established Jonas Mekas Visual Arts Centre in Vilnius, is expected to be completed by mid-June 2008. Depending on its outcome, the museum could open as early as in 2011. By Tuija Seipell

As you're probably aware Oshkosh has built an impressive track record of market share expansion in the markets for military, fire and vocational trucks through leading product innovation and superior product support. And although pressure is building on the U.S. defense budget, Oshkosh have significant cyclical upside and secular growth potential in its construction driven access equipment business and is rapidly expanding its presence in international markets.
Bring us up to date on how Oshkosh is responding to its challenges, today we have President and CEO, Charlie Szews; Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer Dave Sagehorn; and Vice President and Investor Relations, Pat Davidson.
And I'll turn it over to Charlie.
Charlie Szews
Thank you, Baird, for inviting us to this conference. Oshkosh, as mentioned, is driven to perform for its shareholders and customers. From a great recession to now the slow economic recovery, and the defense downturn and markets haven't cooperated very well and we had chopped the equity markets as well. For as the performers we had historically here were the same strong company that outperformed the market for over a decade. And we have a new strategy we call it MOVE, to create a new legacy and growth for our shareholders and investors. So please read this at your leisure the forward-looking statements.
Here's a quick agenda of what we're going to talk about this morning is a brief business overview. We're going to talk about the current operating environment in every one of our markets. And then, we'll conclude with the MOVE strategy, as to adjust the marketing conditions that we face today, increased shareholder value.
So let's look at the overview of our businesses. Oshkosh safely, efficiently and cost effectively moves people and material that work around the globe and around the clock. We move our men, women safely through Afghanistan and Iraq. In the roughest terrain, we rescue people in crises. We rebuild America and we even pick up the trash.
Our portfolio business is certainly diverse customer base. So what that means is that from multiple segments, for example, we'll start with Department of Defense. We sell them telehandlers from our Access Equipment business. We sell them airport products and fire truck fro our Fire and Emergency segment. We sell concrete mixers from our Commercial segment to DOD. And of course we are the leading tactical wheeled vehicle manufacturer for the U.S. Department of Defense.
Everything we do virtually moves on wheel. So there's tremendous technology, distribution, purchasing in synergies. We do a lot of manufacturing in multiple segments for other segments. So some is varied in the parts and that's how we grow faster and make more money in our market than our competition.
We're a global leader in niche specialty vehicles with the leading brands in virtually every one of our markets as you see here. We generally maintained or increased our shares during the downturn, and well positioned with significant leverage when there is a recovery.
Just last week, we reported earnings for the fourth fiscal quarter although our focus is more on the year. Fiscal year '11 was a transition year for us and fiscal year '10, the year before, our operations were bullied by the M-ATV contract. The MRAP All-Terrain (inaudible) sales and we're really speeding vehicles into Afghanistan to save our men and women's lives in that environment.
So we had a transition year in 2011. We ended up hitting another roadblock with missile spending taking another downturn, slower economic recovery. And they've pushed out our recovery of our business really into 2012, which we expect to be another transition year. And this time we really do believe it's going to be a tough year.
Despite those headwinds, we delivered a year up of our revenues in fiscal 2011. They were top only by 2010, which was void by the M-ATV contract and we solidified our market leading positions across our business.
First talk briefly about the current environment. It's too much to go into today and try to debate what are the Defense budgets is going to be in United States. What we do know is that U.S. troops are pulling out of Iraq, big reductions are coming. We don't know if the reductions are $450 billion over 10 years or $1 trillion over 10 year. And obviously it's going to have a big impact for all defense contractors like ourselves.
Outside the U.S. and Europe, however there are several countries that are looking at major tactical wheeled vehicle wise. And even in the U.S. there remain opportunities to sustain a strong tactical wheeled vehicle business in this space.
And in fact we are in an new era of competition. We're actually bidding more new contracts in the next 4 months to 6 months, probably than anytime in our history. This table shows a few of the opportunities. There are some almost as large that are not listed.
The Canadian TAPV for example is a MRAP type vehicle that we're competing for in Canada that we submitted our bid in August. We also provided two vehicles for testing blast as well as security testing off road at our Aberdeen Test Center in Maryland going through their paces. It's 500 units plus and 20 years of service and support.

So I am 18 1/2 weeks into this pregnancy and the thought of adopting the baby out has always been in the back of my mind...sad I know. I can't help but feeling that would be the best thing for this baby.
I have two boys that have 2 seperate dads...the oldest ones dad is a POS who chose a horrible lifestyle which included drugs and prison time. We were together 7 years, he was my first everything, we were engaged and it was perfect until he changed...sad when you think you know someone.
I was actually married to the youngest ones dad, we got married for all the wrong reasons relationship wise. The best reason I married him is because he became a father to my oldest son, and the BEST father he could possibly have. We then had one of our own. We are still good friends, best friends. Just weren't right for each other.
I don't regret either of the relationships because they brought me two beautiful and amazing boys. I was never able to enjoy my pregnancies with either of them because I was always too depressed and too stressed out :(
For some reason I was stupid enough to try it for a third time...maybe desperate. Maybe stupid and desperate both describe me. I just for once wanted to have a pregnancy where I could be the glowing and bubbly beautiful pregnant momma. Instead I feel like an inconvenience, like I'm ruining his life, ugly, fat, you name it.
Again, one of these situations where you thought you knew someone and they turned out to be the complete opposite. Don't I have all the luck?
My husband has not shown a single shred of interest in the baby since day one, never asks about it, didn't show interest at the 3 appt he attended with me...nothing. He hasn't really touched me or cuddled me since we found out about baby...he pretty much avoids it like the plague. He has two kids from another relationship and his visitation from Friday afternoon to Saturday afternoon is enough for him...he never tries to see his kids more. How is he going to handle a full time child of his own?
He spends all his time on his x-box or playing games on his cell phone...sometimes doesn't even acknowledge that I am home for hours. My oldest son always asks to play the x-box and he is constantly telling him "No".
I go to bed alone every single night while he either watches sports or plays the x-box. He doesn't help around the house or with my kids who live their 100% of the time. He works Sun-Wed and has Thurs-Sat off and can't even clean a damn thing in those 3 days. I am left to do all the housework and as 1 person I just can't keep up. I work Mon-Fri and bring home most of the income. He brings home 1/4 of what I do on a check. I'm exhausted.
Last year he borrowed money from his dad twice without talking to me about it first. I have just started a job where I don't qualify for maternity leave until after a year so I am responsible for coming up with the money I will need to cover my bills in those few weeks. I started a savings with just my name on it that he knows about to put money aside for when the baby comes...he told his dad about it (OUR BUSINESS, which should not have been shared!!!) and his dad is demanding I give him the $1000 out of my money! I am already stressed about paying our monthly bills and now paying the doctor all her money before baby comes. The shitty part is, they pay for his kids moms mortgage, gas, power, cable, car insurance and bought her a car!!! We struggle every month to get by and the majority of the stress is on me because I bring home most of the money! Hubby also wastes almost $300 a month on cigarettes, energy drinks and gas station breakfast food.
I have been under a lot of stress and extremely depressed lately. I made a post a few nights ago about some pain, cramping and extreme pressure in my vagina that I won't call my doc about because I cannot afford another visit! Last night I went home from work and propped my bottom half up with pillows hoping to relieve some pain and wanted to relax a bit. My youngest son spilled milk on the kitchen floor and instead of cleaning it my husband comes and tells me about it...so then I am down on my hands and knees and squatting to clean this milk. He knows how much pain I'm in!!! Why couldn't he just help me. It's as if he doesn't care about my health or the health of the baby.
I am done, I am to the point that if hubby walked away I would probably be ecstatic to get rid of him, his kids, his parents and his baby momma who have caused me more stress than one could hope for in a lifetime!!! There is a HUGE story behind this but too much for one post!
The reason I am thinking adoption is because I don't know that me and my two boys can offer this baby the life it deserves. I don't want any attachments to my husband or his family either! I don't know that I am strong enough to do this a third time alone. There is a lot of things I am uncertain about. If I give his dad the money from my savings I won't be able to afford maternity leave. I love this baby and it makes me feel amazing everytime it moves...but am I the right momma? My boys are already so attached, what will I tell them? I don't really want to be the single momma of three kids with three different dads. I feel selfish and like a horrible person even considering it.
Next Thursday is the gender scan and it was supposed to be me, husband, my sister, my mom and MIL. I already told my husband I cancelled it because I don't want him there. I told my sister and mom I want to go alone because I probably just won't find out the gender of the baby to not get my hopes up. Husband is leaving it up to me to tell his mom...should I tell her I am going alone and tell her to talk to her son for an explanation or lie and say the appt was cancelled?
I am tired of putting on a fake smile everyday and pretending everything is okay when it is not. I have been sitting here at my desk all day bawling my eyes out. I cried myself to sleep last night and on the drive home yesterday. Husband never asks whats wrong or if I am okay either. I am so torn and lost. I don't know what to do and just needed to get this off my chest.
Sorry it's so long and please, please don't be judgmental of my poor decision making in the past, it has brought me 2 handsome and loving boys who will always love me unconditionally!

Comments about Sauder Shoal Creek Armoire - Soft White:
I really liked the Armiore, except it was smaller than I thought. I am using it in my guest bedroom which is a small space and it fit perfectly. There was a dent above the cabinets, but had already put most of it together before I realized it. Took three hours to put together, so I wasn't going to take it apart for a small defect. I will inspect pieces more carefully before I put it together from now on. I did expect it to be real wood but overall it looks very nice and the piece is very heavy. It would really look nice in a children's room.

Associated Press
NEW DELHI — A child disappears. Police are called. Nothing happens.
Child rights activists say the rape last week of a 5-year-old girl is just the latest case in which Indian police failed to take urgent action on a report of a missing child. Three days after the attack, the girl was found alone in a locked room in the same New Delhi building where her family lives.
More than 90,000 children go missing in India each year; more than 34,000 are never found. Some parents say they lost crucial time because police wrongly dismissed their missing children as runaways, refused to file reports or treated the cases as nuisances.
The parents of the 5-year-old said that after their daughter disappeared, they repeatedly begged police to register a complaint and begin a search, but they were rejected.
Three days later, neighbors heard the sound of a child crying from a locked room in the tenement. They broke down the door and rushed the brutalized girl to the police station. The parents said the police response was to offer the couple $37 to keep quiet about what had happened.
"They just wanted us to go away. They didn't want to register a case even after they saw how badly our daughter was injured," said the girl's father, who cannot be identified because Indian law requires a rape victim's identity be kept secret.
Delhi's Police Commissioner Neeraj Kumar admitted Monday that local police had erred in handling the case.
"There have been shortfalls, so the station house officer and his deputy have been suspended," Kumar told reporters.
Other poor parents of missing children say they also have found police reluctant to help them.
In 2010, police took 15 days to register a missing-persons case for 14-year-old Pankaj Singh. His mother is still waiting for him to come home.
"Every day my husband and my father would go wait at the police station, but they would shoo them away," Pravesh Kumari Singh said as she sat on her son's bed, surrounded by his pictures and books.
One morning in March 2010, she fed her son a breakfast of fried pancakes and spicy potatoes, then left for a community health training program.
"He told me he would have a bath and settle down to study for his exams," said Singh, clutching the boy's photograph to her heart.
When she returned, he was gone. "The neighbors said some boys had called him out. We searched everywhere, went to the police, but they refused to believe that something had happened to our son."
The police insisted he had run off with friends and would return, she said.
"They said we must have scolded him or beaten him, which is why he had run away from home," she said.
Formal police complaints were registered in only one-sixth of missing child cases in 2011, said Bhuwan Ribhu, a lawyer with Bachpan Bachao Andolan, or the Save the Childhood Movement. He said police resist registering cases because they want to keep crime figures low, and that parents are often too poor to bribe them to reconsider.
Ribhu said the first few hours after a child goes missing are the most crucial. "The police can cordon off nearby areas, issue alerts at railway and bus stations, and step up vigilance to catch the kidnappers," he said.
Activists say delays let traffickers move children to neighboring states, where the police don't have jurisdiction. There is no national database of missing children that state police can reference.
Police have insisted that most of missing children are runways fleeing grinding poverty.

INDIANAPOLIS — Before every tip-off, the Indiana Pacers form a circle and jump in unison around a certain player who grimaces, shouts and waves his arms in an effort to create a motivating frenzy.
But this ritual isn't led by All-Star center Roy Hibbert. Or budding All-Star Paul George. Or veteran power forward David West. Or any other starter, for that matter.
The man in the middle of it all is 6-foot-9 reserve forward/center Jeff Pendergraph. He never starts, doesn't always play but is always the pre-game rallying point.
He not only embraces the role, he takes it quite seriously.
"I feel like I'm the motivational leader for the guys," Pendergraph said before a recent home game. "I don't just do that pregame huddle stuff for kicks and giggles. I really try to get everybody going all the time."
And those around Pendergraph respond because he's earned their respect with his energetic personality, work ethic and the adversity he's overcome to earn a living in the NBA. Although he's appeared in only 10 games this season, and played in just 20 last year, he provides a unique leadership quality the franchise finds indispensable.
"He's one of the best locker-room guys I've ever been around, honestly," Pacers coach Frank Vogel said. "And that's not just coach-speak.
"He's got an incredible spirit and positive attitude, whether he's playing or not."
Pendergraph, who played at Arizona State at the college level, was selected with the first pick of the second round in the 2009 NBA Draft by the Sacramento Kings. His draft rights then were traded to the Portland Trail Blazers
Pendergraph's rookie year in Portland, however, was disrupted by pre-season hip surgery, and he missed the first 27 games. He spent most of his first season getting back to speed while averaging 10.4 minutes per game.
He made a full recovery in time to score a career-high 23 points in the final regular-season game of his rookie year. With such a dominant performance, Pendergraph thought his future was bright in Portland.
But during the second
pre-season game of his second season, Pendergraph injured his right knee. Initially, doctors thought it was just a sprain, but an MRI later revealed a torn ACL. His season was over before it started.
"There were a couple of dark times where I didn't think I was going to play basketball again," he said. "I didn't know if any teams would want to take a chance on me coming back from another injury."
But he put his worries aside and embraced the rehab process, a grueling regimen based on mixed martial arts that healed his body, changed his mindset and altered his life.
"My confidence just started getting really high, and my faith got stronger," Pendergraph said. "I started going to church, and a whole lot of things happened to help flip my outlook.
"I just got back to that underdog mentality."
And it worked.
Signed by the Pacers before the 2011-12 season, he's had a welcoming NBA home ever since.
"I was extremely excited," Pendergraph said. "It was the best opportunity I had. What (former Pacers president) Larry Bird and (former general manager) David Morway were offering me was huge. I was really lucky and blessed to accept it."

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- I was talking to Stephanie Link today about gold, which I think is ready again to retest its lows of the year.I say this because gold has lost much of its glitter as the perfect hard asset and currency hedge in 2013. With most major averages up double digits for the year, gold remains down nearly 20% so far this year.

Uruguay Real Estate
Excellent Real Estate And Property In Uruguay
Whether you're exploring the Uruguay real estate market for a home you can move into full-time…a vacation retreat you can visit a few weeks or months a year…a beachfront lot you hope to resell at a profit…or your own slice of sand where you'll build your dream home…you can find it in Uruguay. And it's perfectly legal to buy.
In 2005, there were more than 650,000 square meters approved for property development in Uruguay. It is estimated that half of these new properties were purchased by either European or American buyers who discovered the wonders of this country over the last few years and wished to take advantage of the low prices, numerous facilities, and the beautiful coastline with stunning beaches.
Due to the stability factors and overall economic situation of the country, the last few years have seen a major real estate boom in Uruguay, mainly concentrated in the cities of Montevideo and Punta del Este which have become Uruguay's real estate hor-spots.
If big-city living is for you, Montevideo is likely to be your favorite place in Uruguay. You can spend weeks exploring the city, and never get tired of enjoying its shady parks and sycamore-lined streets, eating in its sophisticated restaurants, bistros, and sidewalk cafés, or browsing in the artisan markets, antique shops, and bookstores. Or how about a walk around Plaza Fabini and Plaza Cagancha, which often have musicians playing tango or residents perfecting their tango skills to a local band or music box. After a few days in Montevideo it is easy to fall into its rhythm, sitting at a sidewalk café while reading the paper and watching the world go by.
The city has it all in regards to culture and convenience. TeatroSolís is a magnificently restored old-world theater, serving as a venue for some of the most famous theater groups and orchestras in the world. There are numerous schools of dance, music, and art. The city is home to 35 radio stations, various TV channels, and it has good cable TV and high-speed Internet services.
Property samples in Montevideo:
- Overlooking the center of Plaza Independencia, in Montevideo's old quarter of CiudadVieja, is a four-bedroom and two-bathroom apartment. The building is from the 1920's with the original marble foyer and ornate iron elevator. Price: $115,000.
- In Centro area of the city, on Plaza Entrevero, in the historic Zitarrosa building, there's a three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment which still has all the style of the 1920's when it was built. It has amazing views from the eighth floor and needs some cosmetic repairs only. Price: $108,000.
Punta del Este
Punta del Este is one of South America's premier seaside resorts, and its beautiful beaches, dazzling casinos, world-class restaurants, and upscale shops have kept people coming from around the world for almost a century, earning it the title of the Saint Tropez of South America.
One of the continent's most glamorous resorts, it's often host to jazz and film festivals, rodeos, fashion shows on the beach, and major conferences, as well as visitors that include international celebrities, European royalty, and Brazilian and Argentine politicians and jet-setters.
After losing some of its shine during the 1990s, Punta del Este—traditionally known as "the Pearl of the Atlantic" has reinvented itself once again. Its new image as South America's premier all-purpose vacation spot, with attractions for everyone from lounge-music fans and families with small children to sport fishermen, gamblers, and sun worshipers is paying dividends.
The streets and the city are as clean and appealing up close as they are from miles away, and the beaches are well maintained and spotless. It seems crime-free, and is completely devoid of the panhandlers you might expect in a Latin American city of this size. And it's a place that oozes with class, from the fine upscale shops and boutiques to the world-class restaurants, and dazzling casinos. And the cost of being here isn't as high as you might think, considering the posh surroundings.
The great attraction of this city is the broad range of choice it offers visitors. Choose from simple inns to deluxe international hotel chains; local family-style dining to gourmet international cuisine; international theater to jazz festivals; and major sport competitions, such as tennis or polo. There is always something to do in Punta del Este, day or night.
Property samples in Punta del Este:
- An 860-square-foot house, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, less than 300 yards from the water at Punta Ballena (the beginning of Punta del Este as you approach it from Montevideo). Built in 2000, it needs a little TLC and decorating but is being sold furnished. Price: $85,000.
- In the Pinares neighborhood, there's a charming thatched roof house with nearly 1,200 square feet of living space. It's in good condition, with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a separate guest apartment. It also comes furnished. Price: $114,450.
Uruguay has a lifestyle and a region for everyone, depending on what you're looking for in the way of a new life abroad. Whether you want to live downtown in a world capital, in the heart of an old colonial city, or on a sprawling ranch in the heartlands, you can be sure that Uruguay has a place for you.

Homes in Wine Country
There's something special about wine country. All around you, rows of vines stretch off to the horizon. A short stroll to your local café is all you need to enjoy the regional vintage, with each wine variety tempered by the terroir of the region: the combination of factors (including weather, soil, and even bedrock) that feed into a wine's flavor.
Cheap, Productive Farmland: Your Path to Fortune
The world is roaring toward food shortages. According to the World Bank, at least 50% more food is needed by 2050 to feed nine billion people. And it's not just more food that's needed; this fast-growing, global middle class wants different foods—producing meat takes a lot of water and animal feed. China, for example, has added 100 million new middle-class mouths in the past decade. Brazil has seen its middle class grow by 40 million from 2005 to 2011. Now 54% of the population, or 103 million people, fall within Brazil's middle class.
Buy in One of Montevideo's Best Neighborhoods from $84,000
It's a sunny morning, and you have plans to meet friends at a nearby café. You go down the elevator and are greeted by the porter on your way out. Your little studio apartment is a building near the corner of 21 de Setiembre and Ellauri in the neighborhood known as Punta Carretas in Montevideo, Uruguay.
Buy a Single-family Home in this Atlantic Coast Beach Town for $110,000
After a day of socializing and swimming at the beach, you're walking to your home in the La Aguada community in La Paloma, Uruguay, with your beach chair and umbrella. The sky is blue, and the sun is warm. You feel relaxed from head to toe. Like your lifestyle here, your home is simple and […]
The Hamptons of South America for Less Than $150,000
Punta del Este, Uruguay, is to South America what the Hamptons are to North America and Saint-Tropez is to Europe. It's a picturesque beach town that buzzes with vacationers and activity during the summer high season. And over the last decade, Punta del Este is growing in popularity as an expat haven. As you'd expect […]
This Beach Province Is Set to Explode in Value
Long, unspoiled beaches…a new infrastructure project that will open up access to an undeveloped but seriously attractive region…and the chance to watch a real estate investment grow rapidly in value: just some of the reasons you need to be looking at Uruguay's Rocha region. Little Uruguay is a small, open economy—and one of the best places to consider buying real estate in the world right now.
Rocha's Path of Progress: Opening up Uruguay's Wild Atlantic Coast
Uruguay's province of Rocha has the country's best beaches and most charming beach towns. And now the Path of Progress is due to roll down this coast. I expect real estate values will rise as accessibility improves. My contacts in Uruguay have been keeping me up to speed. One particular infrastructure project has my attention right now.
Escapes for the Gentleman Farmer
Imagine waking up in the morning and enjoying a leisurely cup of coffee before heading out your back door to get breakfast. You gather eggs from your hens. Tomatoes, peppers, and herbs, all from your kitchen garden, as well as homemade goat cheese, are added for an excellent omelet. The fresh-squeezed orange juice comes from your trees. Life in the cities and suburbs of the U.S. can mean being far removed from the origins of the food we eat. If you dream of getting back to the land, you'll find hobby farms with fertile soil, ideal growing conditions, and great locations throughout the world.
Uruguay's Farmland: The Best Place to Park Your Cash
Little Uruguay is a country that has advantages for producing food. It has good productive land, and a temperate climate allows the cultivation of up to three crops a year on average. Thanks to increasing wealth and food consumption in emerging markets, farmland here could generate a yield of between 3% and 9% (depending on the type of land and management option you choose), and also enjoy long-term appreciation. And Uruguay is where the small guy can directly get in on this food trend with ownership control. Uruguay has an advanced domestic farm industry. The domestic infrastructure of farm management companies, routes to market, and professional services caters for foreign investors.
Video: Where to Buy Real Estate in Uruguay–Three Areas to Consider
Uruguay is the most economically, politically, and socially stable country in the region. The property registration system is among the best in Latin America. And you don't need to become a resident or get a local tax ID number to buy, own, or sell real estate in Uruguay. Even though real estate values have climbed in recent years, with a little research it's still possible to buy property in the most popular areas of the country for a very reasonable price.
Beach-Town Living in Affordable Rocha, Uruguay
If your idea of paradise is a tranquil beach where a couple can live comfortably for $1,200, including renting a furnished home, then Uruguay's Department of Rocha is a place you should definitely know about. A "department" in Uruguay is like a state or province. Rocha covers 4,074 square miles and stretches 112 miles along the Atlantic coast between Punta del Este, the largest beach resort in Uruguay, and the Brazilian border.
This Lot in the Safe Haven of Uruguay Is Less Than $22,000
Last December, when "The Economist" announced its "country of the year" for the first time, Uruguay was the country that took that spot. It was chosen on the basis that it has been a trailblazer at enacting policies that not only benefit its citizens but humanity as a whole. It's a great place to keep you—and/or some assets—in times good and bad.
Ten Tips for Renting a Home Overseas
When moving abroad, renting a place to stay is an attractive option that offers a lot of advantages, whether you're headed to Costa Rica, Malaysia, France, Mexico, Ecuador, Ireland…or any country. If you plan to buy or build a home eventually, renting allows you to investigate a region and/or community…or several…before you put down roots. You don't want to be stuck in a neighborhood, region, or home you don't like.
The Best-Value Beach Lots in the World
Do you ever wish you could find a cool little beach town before it gets discovered and invest in land while the prices are still low? You aren't alone. Global investors are constantly searching the planet for that kind of opportunity. But you know what? They missed a spot. It's a little town of 1,000 full-time residents, and it's called Barra del Chuy, in Uruguay.
Chase Summertime to These Snow-Bird Escapes
Winter is nigh in North America. Bitter cold, ice storms, flurries, and blizzards are on their way. These are the months spent indoors, staring out at grey skies, pining for spring. But there are places where the sun is shining right now, temperatures are going up, and it's already beach season.
The Five Best Areas for Expats in Montevideo, Uruguay
I go to enjoy the capital's great quality of life. You can walk, run, or socialize on the rambla, the wide coastal promenade that runs the full length of the city.
Affordable Properties in the Best Areas of Punta del Este, Uruguay
Believe it or not, you can still find a nice condo in a coveted Punta del Este neighborhood for less than $150,000. There's a secret to buying affordably here. And it's simple. Folks from North America determine a property's value by three factors: location, location, location. But in Punta del Este's condo market, a property's location is less important.
The Trick to Buying Affordable Property in Punta del Este, Uruguay
Punta del Este, less than two hours from Uruguay's elegant capital of Montevideo, has long been the most fashionable beach resort in South America. An apartment sold here a few years back for $7.2 million… but believe it or not, you can still find a nice condo in a coveted Punta del Este neighborhood for less than $150,000. There's a secret to buying affordably here. And it's simple.
Uruguay: Buy a Million-Dollar Address for $150,000
Across from the beach near Avenida Roosevelt, where I ride my bike to the mall, is the completed sales office for Trump Tower Punta del Este. Construction is scheduled to start in June. Prices for condos start at $700,000, and the sales people say "it will redefine what is meant by luxury living."
3 Properties in Historic Montevideo for Under $150,000
The Old City was once the entire walled city of Montevideo, Uruguay when it was founded in 1730. Today the walls are gone, but the original plazas and much of the period architecture remains. This is Montevideo's main cultural center and financial district.
Why Now is the Time to Buy Property in Argentina
Today, Argentina is back in a bind. There is a strong possibility of another crack-up within the next year. And then we'll have the same opportunity we had a decade ago. The signs are all there. The streets of Buenos Aires have recently seen the return of the backstreet currency exchange.
3 Places Where Beach Property is Cheap
Most of us dream of owning a beach property—where we can ride out the cold winters back home, enjoy beach living year-round, or even as a bolthole for a few weeks at a time. The good news is that, in some places, your dream beach home costs a lot less than you might think. Take a look at these three locations where you can relive the endless summer days of childhood.
Property in Uruguay for Less than $200,000
An hour from Montevideo, Piriapolis was founded in 1893 and is Uruguay's first seashore resort. It is filled with bathers and sun-worshipers for the entire summer. Year-round, people come from all over Uruguay to enjoy its fine seafood restaurants, casinos, cafés, and local museums.
The Real Fantasy Island
What if I could show you how (and where) to buy your dream home on an island like this one, with palm-tree rimmed. white-sand beaches washed clean by clear, warm Caribbean waters… or on a lush jungle cliff-top with a mega-mile view of the blue Pacific stretching out before you…
Coastal Uruguay: Latin America's Best Quality of Life
Sipping a cappuccino at a small table in a shady plaza outside my hotel, I'm reminded of days and evenings spent in similar sidewalk cafés in Europe. Stately 19th-century neo-classical and baroque-style buildings with wrought-iron balconies line the square. Curtains wave gaily through massive wood-framed windows.
Buy Land – Two Great Profit-Making Opportunities
Every so often we run into amazing opportunities…specific ways to make smarter investments… slash your taxes…and keep your financial affairs private.
IL Real Estate Expert, Ronan McMahon, has just submitted a special report revealing one of the safest ways to grow or preserve your nest egg.
In this Quarterly Wealth Advisory Ronan reveals details of two special opportunities to make money from land.
We hope it helps you preserve and grow your wealth.
Small Town Beach Life in Uruguay
I moved to Uruguay full-time in 2006. And since then I've explored more than a dozen different countries, from Spain to Argentina. I've lived in Brazil, have a second home in Colombia, and bought property in Nicaragua. Yet Uruguay is where I call home; and I can't think of a better place to be right now. The lifestyle is unbeatable, and the cost of living and of properties is reasonable.
Property Picks: Where No Car is Required
A sample of properties where you can live without needing a car to get around.
The Best Beach Deal in the "Europe of South America"
A deserted beach that feels remote…yet isn't… A beach where, beyond the breaking waves, white foam caps skim along the deep blue ocean. On land, a steady breeze rustles through the dune grasses…white clouds drift by and flocks of birds swoosh down, fishing along the coast. That's what you'll found in Rocha, Uruguay.
The Last Great Property Deal in Uruguay
Punta del Este is the top destination in Uruguay. Rock stars and billionaire fashion moguls vacation there. Pop starlets keep a summer home to "snowbird" the North American winter.
Big $28,710 Lots in Uruguay's Best Beach Town
On June 17th I told you about the opportunity at La Serena Golf in the province of Rocha, Uruguay. This is a great deal from a strong developer.
Not far away (but closer to Punta del Este) lot prices range from $40-$135 per square meter. That's $162,000 to over $500,000 for an acre lot. And, these prices include projects without golf or tennis. Projects with hardly any amenities, in fact.
At La Serena Golf you have both. Half-acre lot prices start at $31,900. As a RETA member you can avail of our member-only pricing and get a 10% discount. That gives you an entry point of $28,710.
Uruguay's "Beach Province" For Less Than $60,000 an Acre
In the Uruguayan Department of Rocha, waves crash from the blue sea onto the wide, white sands. Small, rolling dunes…like you would see on Nantucket (off Cape Cod) separate the beach from gently rolling hills.
The Best Way to Play Uruguay's Coast
If you want to tap into the next trend in Uruguay's "beach province" for less than $60,000 an acre…this is it.
In this alert I'll give the relevant background on Uruguay…some context that shows why this is such a strong opportunity right now…and then the specifics on this real estate deal—which includes a discount ed price list for any RETA member who wants to buy.
How (and Where) to Make Money in International Real Estate
"I'm kicking myself for not getting in on that deal you told us about three years ago," he confided. "At the time, I thought 'Is he crazy?…'" If the guy had followed Ronan's advice back in 2008, you see, he could have made more than $38,000 on an investment of $2,234.
Property Gems From a Real Estate Treasure Chest
I couldn't help doing a stealthy Google search as International Living revealed his favorite up-and-coming oceanfront destination in Uruguay. He had just shown a four-bedroom home smack dab on the beach, with two terraces overlooking the ocean. The asking price is $92,000, but we think the owner will take less.
Colonial City Life in Uruguay
The city of Colonia is one of the best places in Uruguay for year-round living. In fact, when I originally visited Uruguay, it was my first choice for a second home.
Colonia, Uruguay: Where History Holds its Value
Colonia is probably the most convenient and attractive town in Uruguay. I always enjoy strolling along its wide, lazy river and watching the sun set over the peaceful marina.
Uruguay's Magical Beach Towns
Uruguay is on a roll. Both the economy…and the real estate market. New condos in Punta del Este, the country's premier beach resort, now average $3,000 a square meter (that's $300,000 for a 1,000-square-foot condo). But travel a little farther along the coast east from Punta, and your property dollars will go much further.
Living in Uruguay's Capital City
It's warm and sunny on the early morning streets of Uruguay's capital, Montevideo. The caretakers in the park are hosing down the sidewalks…waiters are straightening tables and opening bright yellow umbrellas at the sidewalk café. The neighborhood bakeries are open for cappuccinos and pastries, and newsstands are handing out today's paper…
Buy Farmland and Grow Rich
In today's Alert, I'm going to show you three ways to make money from farmland in an investor-friendly country.
The case for investing in agriculture and food is pretty straightforward. Increasing populations and wealth in emerging economies is the primary driver. As people in these economies become richer they eat more food—and more meat.

Green Jungle fowl
From Ultimatefowl
The Green Junglefowl, Gallus varius also known as Javan Junglefowl, Forktail or Green Javanese Junglefowl is a medium-sized, up to 75cm long, bird in the pheasants family Phasianidae. Recent molecular work (Kimball et al, Barrowclough) has evealed that Junglefowl and Pheasants are not monophyletic. The Green Junglefowl is endemic to Java, Bali, Lombok, Komodo, Flores, Rinca and small islands linking Java with Flores, Indonesia. It has been introduced to the Cocos (Keeling) Islands where there is a small wild population.
The coloration of the Green Junglefowl is sexually dichromic. The male's plumage is dark and blackish at a distance. A closer view will reveal an iridescent mantle of gleaming scales reminiscent in colour and pattern to those seen in the Ocellated Turkey and Green Peafowl. Each scale is vivid blue at its base and moves through various shades of gold and bronzed green. Specialized plumes framing the throat of the male Green Junglefowl are highly light reflective and appear violet at the proximal and sky blue at the distal edges. The lesser coverts of the wing are a striking burned orange with bronzed black centers. The distal edges of the greater secondary coverts are vivid ocher. Like its distant cousin the Red Jungle Fowl, the breast and ventral regions are a dense light absorbing black. Like its closer relative the Ceylon Jungle Fowl, the male Green Junglefowl exhibits vivid 'windows' of bare facial skin that contrasts against the dark scarlet red of the face. The Green Junglefowl exhibits an ice blue center in its comb. A region of electric yellow facial skin extends below each ear, delineating the plumed hackles from gular lappet. Its head is topped by a light blue comb, which turns purple or red towards the top. Its wattle is also of the same colour but is bordered with blue on the edges and yellow closer to the throat. The female is mostly brown with occasional green feathers and has no comb.
The Green Junglefowl is being maintained and increasingly bred in captivity as its genetic diversity is disappearing. This is because these birds are bred with domestic chickens by many people, producing a hybrid known as the Bekisar. The Bekisar has become very popular in the East Java province and has become the mascot-bird of the area.Crosses also show very long tails more so than either parent bird.The Green Junglefowl requires more protected conditions than chickens. However, it is known to be able to fly more strongly than chickens, and has been seen flying from island to island in its native range, where it lives and breeds along coastal areas.
The Green Junglefowl usually lives in groups of two to five in the wild and led by a dominant male, who takes the flock to feed and drink and then back into the cover of the forest. In the night the flock roosts in bamboo stands at 15-20 feet above the forest floor. In the breeding season the dominant males in each flock are challenged by other males without flocks. The two males would clap their wings and crow loudly while fighting each other with their spurs.
The captive Green Junglefowl requires warm aviaries with lots of foliage and cover due to their shy nature and are fed with grains(no corn) and seeds, as well as fruit and insects as these are the same type of food they would feed on in the wild. This bird has also been known for a long time as a pet animal because of its beauty and unique call.
The Green Junglefowl is evaluated as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

Lil Wayne, 'Tha Carter IV,' Review Revue
Lil Wayne, just a few minutes after losing his shirt and lowering his pants for a performance on the MTV Video Music Awards, dropped his latest album, "Tha Carter IV."
So far critics are saying that the new album has its moments, but is some distance from a classic.
A survey of critical opinion on Lil Wayne's "Tha Carter IV":
–"Lil Wayne made fans wait 10 months after his release from prison for Tha Carter IV (* * * ½ out of four), his much anticipated follow-up to 2008′s triple-platinum Tha Carter III. But now that it's finally here, Weezy has packed the lineup with more than enough repeat-worthy tunes to make it worth the delays." [Steve Jones, USA Today]
–"'C3′ was great because despite the unbeatable hype that went into it, Wayne managed to live up to it. Its follow-up doesn't deserve the brand name. It's not good or bad; it's bland and aimless, which is worse." [Julian Benbow, Boston Globe]
–"Weezy doesn't have the same speed-demon intensity he had five years ago – and he's just as casual and sloppy about his approach to official album releases. So Tha Carter IV has experiments that fail, as well as a pair of star-studded guest track s where Wayne doesn't appear at all." [Rob Sheffield, Rolling Stone]
